WWW.EL-OBSERVADOR.COM New Garbage Billing System to Save San Jose Residents Money Residents will pay their garbage bill as a part of their property taxes twice a year. Without this change, the City would have been required to undertake an expensive upgrade of its outdated billing software system. As a result, changing the billing process will save residents $3.2 million per year Working Partnerships’ prevailing wage study ripples Mountain View’s City Council took an important step toward restoring the Bay Area’s middle class and economic prosperity when it voted 6-1 last night to expand the city’s prevailing wage policy to cover city-funded affordable housing developments. The new policy means that the construction workers employed in affordable housing projects will be able to live in Mountain View.

Under the new policy, California officials will only detain a person for immigration if that person:

How many times do I have to tell you to vote? During 2014 Congressional elections will happen giving you an opportunity to change the makeup of the U.S. Congress with your vote. Why is that important? Changing the makeup of Congress is required if the current legislative ideological gridlock is to be broken or mitigated. Democracy is being destroyed by ultra-conservative ideologues and the influence paid for by the very wealthy.

Recent psychological research reveals that ‘social closeness’ is essential to having compassion, empathy, and sympathy for those who are poor, destitude or disadvantaged. Why is this important? Simply because to become an elected official these days requires having enough personal wealth to enable being a candidate.

As an outcome, many members of Congress, both the House and the Senate, are wealthy. Their personal lifestyle is such that they no longer interact with those who have low incomes or social status. A ‘social distance’ grows resulting in an individual wealthy member of congress who can no longer imagine what it is like to be unemployed, disadvantaged, poor or stuggling. These days groups exist who are thought of being ‘less than’; beneath me’ or ‘very needy’.

Hispanics, if they are honest with themselves, can think of times when a person of influence, wealth or power gave “the cold shoulder” as if you did not exist. In fact, the English language has metaphors such as ‘giving some-

Today, the American domestic economy contains about 400 families who ‘own’ some 80% of tne national wealth. And present economic practices result from policies adopted by both Democratic and Republican administrations since 1975. Federal taxes have been avoided by those who could afford professional income tax experts who used every loophole on hehalf of clients. Individuals having less means pay required taxes due based on their personal income. As an example, imagine some 158 millon middle class persons paying just $2,000 to the IRS. That multiplies out to $316 billion. In addition to these IRS tax revenues, these same folks pay sales taxes, gasoline taxes, national park entry fees, license fees, etc.

And, they end up with little influence except for the basic power of their vote…..if they register to vote and vote in their own interests. It is this ‘grass- root political power’ which must be organized and used now to change current public policy which uses taxes to redistribute income.

The ultra-wealthy must pay their fair share of income taxes. According to several economists, if today’s wealthy had paid their fair share of taxes since 2000, there would be no national deficit. One non- violent way to change the makeup of the U.S. Congress is to begin to track voting behavior. Those who do not act on behalf of the public good must not be re-elected.

The Koch bothers have influenced many elections and legislation by strategic placement of their money. Recently, they funded some $400

million to discourage implementation of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). And all corporations were politically empowered by recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings, which defined corporations as “persons who could talk with their money” and by radically modifing the 1964 Voting Rights Law. The outcomes are dismissive behavior by those elected members of Congress who are already wealthy and who cannot imagine the human suffering caused by their recent actions. These actions cut funding for food stamps, Women-Infants and Children’s Program (WIC), and Veteran’s Administration staffing. These are but three examples where ‘social distance’ has impacted compassionate stewardship ideals.

The social distances result in easy dismissal by our elected officials. Maybe this explains why they can continue to support loopholes which benefit the wealthy while insisting that medicare, food stamps, low interest student loans, WIC programs, Veteran Programs, etc. be cut back to balance the budget or help reduce the national deficit. One societal behavior must begin to happen: The citizens must vote in numbers which offset those votes influenced by the wealthy.

President Obama, Mike Honda, and Zoe Lofgren may be ‘well off’ today.

However, they started off as ordinary folks raised in local communities. During the coming 2014 elections, voters must become well informed enough to replace the extreme ideologues with elected officials who started in a middle class community.

This can happen without violence only with your personal vote next year. Your societal behavior does impact governance.

Cinthia Rodríguez EL OBSERVADOR Entiendo que la gente a veces actúa o dice cosas sin pensar. Todos lo hemos hecho. Pero también es justo decir que muchas veces no arreglamos las cosas y solo quedan sentimientos de incomodidad.

Hago el intento de dar sentido a todo, y me es más fácil decir cosas sin chiste que tener una conversación.

Voy a ser honesta y contarles que me fascina Twitter sin embargo las otras redes sociales como Facebook no me interesa. Las veces que visito el sitio solo veo cosas tontas.

También entiendo que son espacios exactamente para eso así que no le doy tanta importancia.

Para hacer mi vida más interesante no tengo cable y nuestro televisor solo recibe cinco canales, pero mi amigo que es tan amable conmigo me prestó algunos de sus programas ya grabados.

Una noche yo estaba en mi cueva mirando Pretty Little Liars y una frase de un personaje me hizo pensar.

Un personaje le decía a otro que considerara tener una conversación cara a cara en vez de imaginar tenerla y argumentar y inventar parte de los hechos. Eso se aplica a muchas situaciones. Es muy fácil pasar por alto un problema y no querer hablar de ello.

Porque le permite admitir que cuando usted está enojado, usted no tiene tiempo para pensar con claridad. Es mejor que te calmes y luego hablas con la persona con la que estás enfadada.

No es que yo quiera sonar algo que no soy pero me considero una persona muy agradable. Se me hace difícil decir que no y al final me doy cuenta de que debo utilizar la palabra más frecuente. Yo

espero que la gente entienda que a veces pasan cosas que están fuera de mi control y no puedo cumplir con mi palabra, pero no por falta de intentos. Para ser honesta, estoy un poco molesta con la gente que dice cosas negativas sin antes hablar conmigo.

Quiero decir que si actuó de alguna manera tengo una razón. No asumas lo peor sin preguntar. Dame el beneficio de la duda.

Tengo dificultades para comprender por qué las personas se permiten decir cosas desconsideradas cuando están alterados. ¿Qué tal las cosas buenas? Algunas personas necesitan saber que están haciendo un trabajo increíble. No estoy diciendo que la gente tiene que escucharlo a diario, pero de vez en cuando es bueno. Eso se aplica a ustedes también, no duden en mandarme un correo electrónico cinthiar@ el-observador.com con cualquier comentario o idea de opinión.

COMMUNITY

San Jose CALIFORNIA After an extensive nationwide search and thorough, ten-month recruitment process, a selection committee comprised of five VTA Board members presented their recommendation to the full Board at its regularly scheduled meeting on Thursday, October 3, 2013. The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) Board of Directors has appointed Ms. Nuria I. Fernandez as the next General Manager for VTA. Fernandez has an extensive and impressive career in the public transportation industry, most recently serving as the Chief Operating Officer for the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) where she is responsible for the overall security of the MTA system, development of its capital and environmental sustainability programs, federal and

state government affairs, and management oversight of the five operating agencies and its capital construction.

“When General Manager Michael Burns announced his retirement late last year, we knew we were going to have a significant challenge to find his successor,” said Joe Pirzynski, VTA Board Chair.

“The primary concern in our search was to find a candidate possessing the qualities that would continue the forward progress that VTA experienced in the eight plus years Michael dedicated to the organization.

We have concluded our search and are very pleased with our selection of Nuria Fernandez. She is an individual who possesses the personal and professional characteristics that we know will move VTA forward. We are excited to have Nuria take this leadership position with VTA.”Nuria has over

30 years of experience in the transportation field and a professional career that includes, planning, design and construction of mass transit

systems, airport operations and policy development of federal transportation programs. Her accomplishments include managing the opera-

tions of O’Hare International Airport; providing high-level policy and program expertise at the U.S. Department of Transportation; and managing the design and construction of multi-billion dollar rail expansion programs in Chicago and Washington, D.C.

change the public transportation landscape in Silicon Valley forever, and my experience working in the industry, both public and private, has positioned me for the challenges that come with this great responsibility,” states Fernandez.

She has a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Bradley University and an MBA from Roosevelt University in Illinois.

Nuria serves on the Board of Directors of the American Public Transportation Association, the Mineta Transportation Institute’s Board of Trustees, the Advisory Board of Bradley University’s College of Engineering and Technology, and a member of the Conference of Minority Transportation Officials and the Women’s Transportation Seminar, among other organizations.

Nuria joins VTA at a time when the agency is making important strides to advance its capital program and enhance transit service to build upon growing ridership.

Construction on the first 10-mile phase of the BART Silicon Valley Project is making great progress; the first bus rapid transit line in the Bay Area will break ground early next year; and plans to speed up light rail trains and improve frequency in preparation for BART and the new Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara are well underway. Fernandez’ official start date is early December 2013.

EDUCATION

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

Sheetal Ankolekar, M.D. MEDICINA FAMILIAR On Monday, October 7, at 10:30AM, students, parents, Board members, administrators, staff, and community members celebrated the opening of an innovative and unique high school at the new Calero High School, located at 420 Calero Avenue, San Jose.

The school will house an Alternative High School of Choice and Post Senior Program. Using the best practices of successful educational institutions, the school was designed to give staff the freedom to be innovative along with the responsibility to produce results. The personalized instruction, flexibility of the schedule, infusion of social skills development and technology in the curriculum, and the fostering of a strong relationship with the families makes Calero a special place to be for students and staff.

Santa Clara County CALIFORNIA The County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors passed a resolution (3-0, 2 abstained – Simitian, Wasserman) calling on the State to find a solution to completing the City of Santa Clara’s Northside Library, including exempting the library from the redevelopment dissolution process that would allow redevelopment funds to be used to finish building the library.

“We have to consider multiple options to solving this problem, and modifying State law to allow the Northside Library to be exempt from the RDA dissolution process is one possible option,” said President Ken Yeager, District 4. “The City of Santa Clara and tax payers have spent $13 million to build the library so far. Resi-

At Calero High School, it is believed that ALL students should graduate prepared for college and careers in a global society. The educational program at Calero is focused on collaborative learning in both classroom and online environments to provide an innovative and tailored learning experience for students. Students will access all the courses required to both graduate and gain admission to universities.

tional process and promote both communication and partnerships between parents and staff.

The Post Senior Program prepares special needs students with the skills to live independently and gain employment. These students have first class learning environments that help them achieve these skills and they operate under the same culture of respect, responsibility and results.

Calero’s student population is small, serving 300 students, which provides access to a personal and supportive learning structure.

Each student will have access to a personal computer and learn to use technology as a 21st century tool for learning, communicating, organizing, collaborating, and presenting. At Calero, it is believed that parents/guardians are an integral part of the educa-

The two student populations are learning to help and support each other. Teachers are excited about the freedom to try new approaches to learning. “Everything in education is changed, Calero is our district’s acknowledgement that we must break tradition and serve students in new ways to prepare them for the future,” said Calero Principal Robert Ibarra.

dents deserve the library they were promised.”

On June 28, 2011, Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill into law that amended California Community Redevelopment Law in order to address the State’s ongoing budget deficit. ABx1 26 dissolved all California redevelopment agencies (RDAs) effective October 1, 2011.

This legislation prevented RDAs from engaging in new activities, effective June 28, 2011, and outlined a process for winding down the RDA’s financial affairs. It also set forth a process for distributing funds from the former RDAs to other local taxing entities.

On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of ABX1 26. As a result, approximately 400 RDAs

were dissolved on February 1, 2012, with the assets and liabilities transferred to Successor Agencies and Successor Housing Agencies pursuant to ABx1 26.

The City of Santa Clara initially planned to fund the construction of a Northside Library with funds from its former redevelopment agency (RDA). On January 31, 2012, the City entered into an agreement with the Santa Clara City Library Foundation and Friends for the Foundation to build the library. It would also serve residents in the adjacent cities of San Jose and Sunnyvale.

While voting to support the action, Supervisor Dave Cortese requested that if a solution is found locally, the County should then withdraw its request for a legislative solution at the State level.

It’s estimated that every 9 seconds a woman in the U.S. is assaulted or beaten. Domestic violence causes more injuries to women than muggings, rapes and car accidents combined. Annually, more than 3 million women (who are the victims in 85 percent of domestic violence incidents) are physically or sexually abused by a current or former spouse or boyfriend.

Domestic violence can occur in a number of different forms. The generally accepted definition is that it’s a pat-

tern of behavior in a relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner.

While such abuse can be physical, it can also take the form of sexual, economic, or psychological threats and actions with the aim of frightening, intimidating, humiliating, manipulating or terrorizing the other person in order to control her or him.

Recognizing that you have been the victim of physical is usually fairly straight-forward. If you’ve been slapped, kicked or pushed, had things thrown at you, been prevented from leaving your home, or constantly threatened by a partner, these are all actions that constitute physical abuse.

Similarly, a sexually abusive relationship occurs when the victim is viewed as an object rather than a person, with mistreatment running from sexual insults to forced sexual acts.

But while physical and sexual abuse may be the most commonly recognized forms of domestic violence, emotional abuse can be just as destructive. It occurs when someone is continually criticized or insulted, isn’t trusted, is monitored regarding friends or travel, or is prevented from working. The victim might have no control of money, must ask permission for everything and is constantly humiliated.

Recognizing when you are in an abusive relationship is but a first step in dealing with the problem. While there’s almost never an easy way to make things better, there are trained people and organizations ready to help. Many towns now have a domestic violence center with people you can talk to about getting assistance and shelter. To locate one in your area, or to find out what other help is available, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).

BUSINESS

Jason Alderman PRACTICAL MONEY Si usted es uno de los 170 millones de estadounidenses que tienen seguro médico a través de un plan ofrecido por el empleador, probablemente estará por recibir el material para la inscripción abierta de 2014. Aunque muchas veces resulta engorroso leer toda esa información, optar por continuar con su cobertura actual sin evaluar otras podría ser un error muy costoso. Le explico por qué: Desde la sanción de la Ley de Atención Médica Asequible de 2010, los seguros médicos han sufrido grandes modificaciones, incluyendo la eliminación de los límites de cobertura anuales y de por vida y las exclusiones por enfermedades pre-existentes, la expansión de la atención pre-

ventiva gratuita y la posibilidad de que los hijos menores de 26 años continúen en el plan de sus padres.

Como consecuencia, muchos empleadores han modificado sus planes de beneficios. Además, si sus ingresos o su situación familiar se han modificado en este último año, su plan actual tal vez haya dejado de ser la mejor opción. Y, si su empleador le ofrece cuentas de gastos flexibles y usted no está participando, está desaprovechando un valioso beneficio fiscal.

Esto es lo que tiene que tener en cuenta al revisar sus opciones de beneficios: Compare detenidamente todos los costos y prestaciones de los diferentes planes que le ofrecen y observe cómo podría cambiar su cobertura

Las cuentas FSA para gastos de dependientes le permiten usar dólares antes de impuestos para pagar ciertos gastos relacionados con el cuidado de sus hijos, cónyuge, padres u otros dependientes incapaces de cuidarse por sí mismos.

actual el próximo año. Los cambios más comunes son: •Planes médicos descontinuados o reemplazados.

•Primas mensuales, deducibles y copagos más altos.

•Vademécums de drogas modificados •Médicos u hospitales que han dejado de pertenecer a la red de prestadores de su plan

• Cambios en el número de consultas a especialistas cubiertas por el plan (acupuntura, quiropráctica, terapia física, etc.)

Si se las ofrecen, las cuentas de gastos flexibles (FSAs) para gastos médicos y de dependientes pueden compensar ampliamente el impacto financiero de los gastos médicos y de sus dependientes permitiéndole pagar ciertos gastos de su bolsillo antes de impuestos, es decir, antes de que se le descuenten de su sueldo los impuestos federales, estatales y del Seguro Social. Esto reduce sus ingresos imponibles y, por lo tanto, sus impuestos.

Puede usar una FSA de gastos médicos para pagar los gastos médicos autorizados por el IRS que su seguro médico, odontológico u oftalmológico no cubra. Consulte los gastos autorizados en la Publicación 502 del IRS.

Así es como funcionan las cuentas FSA: Supongamos que usted gana $42.000 al año. Si aportara $1.000 a una cuenta FSA para gastos médicos y $3.000 para gastos de dependientes, sus ingresos imponibles se reducirían a $38.000. Su ingreso neto resultante, después de impuestos, sería de casi $1.600 más que si hubiera pagado dichos gastos en base post-impositiva.

Recuerde estas restricciones sobre las cuentas FSA: •Los aportes del empleado se limitan a $2.500 por año para las cuentas FSA de gastos médicos y $5.000 para gastos de dependientes.

•Los aportes para gastos médicos y de dependientes no son intercambiables.

•Calcule cuidadosamente los gastos que planea tener ya que puede perder los saldos no utilizados de la cuenta.

Algunos empleadores ofrecen un período de gracia para incurrir en gastos de hasta 2

½ meses después de la finalización del año del plan, pero no es obligatorio, por lo que le recomiendo consultar la política de su compañía.

•Fuera del período de inscripción abierta, solo puede hacer cambios en las cuentas FSA a mitad de año en caso de haber alguna modificación importante en su vida o su condición familiar (casamiento, divorcio, fallecimiento del cónyuge, nacimiento o adopción de un hijo, etc.) Si esto ocurre a mitad del año, modifique sus cuentas FSA para obtener mayores beneficios.

Affordable Banking for Low- to Moderate-Income (LMI) Communities

By Roberto Pineda, Union Bank, N.A. Santa Clara County CALIFORNIA

Union Bank is creating positive change in our communities with its new Union Bank Access Account. One of the first of its kind, the new account helps illustrate the bank’s commitment to providing products that serve the needs of the low- to moderateincome (LMI) segment and other consumers, including those on ChexSystems, who may not qualify for a traditional bank account.

The County of Santa Clara will be able to keep $1 million in funds for programs focused on serving runaway or homeless youth, thanks to a bill authored by State Senator Jim Beall and signed into law this week by Governor Jerry Brown.

“This money will support organizations dedicated to keeping some of the most vulnerable youth in our community safe and housed,” said President Ken Yeager, Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors.

In 1990, the County applied for and received $1 million grant to help fund a new Children’s Shelter. The funds were available from Proposition 86, which was approved by the voters in 1988. Proposition 86 authorized a $500 million bond issue to provide funds for the construction of county adult and juvenile correctional facilities.

The measure also allocated funds to youth centers and shelters. However, on January 29, 2013, the Children’s Shelter was sold and under the terms of the State funding agreement, the County was required to repay the state grant upon sale. The Governor’s signature of SB 347 lifts that requirement and allows any county closing a children’s shelter that received Proposition 86 funding to redirect that funding to local runaways and homeless youth shelters.

SB347 was sponsored by the County of Santa Clara and supported by the Housing Trust of Santa Clara, the California Alliance of Child and Family Services, the Bill Wilson Center, California Coalition for Youth, California Council of Community Mental Health Agencies.

The Union Bank Access Account is a direct response to requests from consumers and community groups regarding the needs of the LMI customer segment that includes the unbanked and underbanked population.

According to the 2011 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) National Survey of Unbanked and Underbanked Households, 8.9 percent of U.S. households are unbanked, which represents 1 in 12 households in the nation or nearly 10 million in total, while 20.1 percent of U.S.households are underbanked, which represents one in five households or 24 million in total (http://www.fdic.gov/householdsurvey/).

Union Bank continues to honor its legacy of public service through a commitment to responsible products and practices, one of its five tenets of responsible banking. The Union Bank Access Account is a low-cost product that offers features and functionalities to allow customers easier access to their account and the opportunity to establish a banking relationship with Union Bank.

“The ongoing feedback we receive from our community partners and customers is critical to our product development,” said Union Bank Vice President and Senior Product Manager Rogger LaCruz. “We are proud to respond with an affordable product that offers the features typically offered on consumer checking accounts, while avoiding the risk of incurring overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees.”

The Union Bank Access Account is a checkless account and is available in California, Washington and Oregon. Customers may visit a Union Bank branch to

learn more or to open an account. There is no set up fee and direct deposit of a payroll or benefit payment is not required. Once the account is open, customers can make deposits and withdrawals in a branch or at an ATM.They may also use the account’s ATM card to perform point-of-sale transactions (with a personal identification number) at participating merchants.

Providing customized financial services and solutions has been the heart and soul of Union Bank throughout its nearly 150-year history. Whether we’re helping a family buy its first home, supporting small businesses or the vital work of affordable housing developers, or providing affordable financial services to LMI consumers, fair and transparent banking is a fundamental Union Bank commitment.

“We know that empowering consumers and businesses, and providing them access to affordable financial services is what helps communities thrive,” said Union Bank Senior Executive Vice President Julius Robinson, head of Corporate Social Responsibility. “That includes identifying opportunities where we can serve the LMI market segment.”

OCTOBER 11-17, 2013

Una celebración de nuestra comunidad y el Día de los Muertos Cinthia Rodríguez EL OBSERVADOR Después de una década de dedicación y perseverancia Teatro Visión tiene el privilegio de presentar el estreno mundial de “Macario”, una adaptación teatral bilingüe de la novela de B. Traven. La obra original, dirigida por Elisa Alvarado abrió el 10 de

octubre en el Teatro de la Plaza de la Herencia Mexicana de la Escuela de Arte y Cultura y tendrá su última sesión el 20 de octubre de 2013.

‘Macario” es originalmente una novela escrita en los 40s por el autor alemán Traven, quien se dirigió a México en la década de 1920s. Se fue porque estaba siendo motivo

de persecución por el activismo político.

“Es una historia en conjunto antes de la independencia de México y en el momento en que había un sistema de castas muy rígido, donde los indígenas fueron tratados muy mal, la Inquisición estaba en plena vigencia”, dijo la directora de Alvarado, de Teatro Visión. “Había catego-

rías raciales y diferentes leyes para esos grupos, un montón de racismo en nuestra comunidad “ El escritor extranjero estaba muy impresionado y entusiasmado con los cambios que estaba presenciando en México . Traven, se encargó de hacer una investigación y comenzó a escribir historias sobre las condiciones de los pueblos indígenas. “Macario” es una de esas historias, donde tres espíritus se acercan al trabajador cuando se enfrenta a la oportunidad de tener un pavo entero para comer.

“Fue un momento muy emocionante. La Revolución Mexicana terminó y se está instituyendo todo tipo de reformas, como el sistema de educación pública”, dijo Alvarado. “A pesar de que hubo reformas muy positivas que se están implementando, la difícil situación de los pueblos indígenas no estaba cambiando” La versión de “Macario” de la compañía de teatro chicano es una adaptación de la novela y la película. Una película estrenada en 1960 con la ayuda de Emilio Carballido, uno de los dramaturgos

más importantes de México.

Fue nominado a un Oscar, la primera vez que una cinta de México fuera nominada como mejor película extranjera.

Sin embargo, cuando Alvarado y el co-director Rodrigo García concibieron la idea de una obra, no se trataba simplemente de un deseo de originalidad. Consideran a”Macario” una parte muy importante del legado literario y cultural en México .

Para obtener los derechos, hubo innumerables viajes al sur de la frontera, investigación, y conversaciones que tuvieron. Alvarado estaba insegura sobre con quién hablar, pero finalmente consiguió el permiso de los descendientes del autor.

Después de recibir la solicitud de la familia a trabajar en estrecha colaboración con la novela, Teatro Visión colaboró con la dramaturgo Evelina Fernández, el compositor Russell Rodríguez y la coreógrafa María De La Rosa. Ellos, desarrollaron un esquema y concepto. Explorado a través de la mejoría y la discusión.

“Definitivamente es relevante para la existencia del hambre en este valle una de las regiones más ricas de la nación”, dijo Alvarado. “Sin embargo, hay mucha hambre en nuestra comunidad, especialmente en las comunidades de inmigrantes”.

En el verano de 2012 , Alvarado sufrió un aneurisma. El proyecto se pospuso por un año entero. Ella dijo que se encontraba bien y se considera afortunada.

De manera que tuvieron que empezar de nuevo en la parte de la producción.

Tenían la refundición. El elenco actual incluye cinco hijos y miembros de la comunidad. Así que el elenco es una mezcla de actores experimentados y personas que han tomado clases de teatro.

Los ensayos comenzaron el 5 de agosto. La obra contiene una gran cantidad de música y danza.

“Macario“ (ahora hasta el 20 de octubre) en el Mexican Heritage Plaza Teatro, 1700 Alum Rock Ave. en San José.

Los boletos están disponibles www.teatrovision.org y tienen un costo entre $7 y $40.

A celebration of our community and Day of the Dead Cinthia Rodriguez EL OBSERVADOR After a decade of dedication and perseverance Teatro Visión has the privilege of presenting the world premier of “Macario,” a bilingual theatrical adaptation of the B. Traven novel. The original play, directed by Elisa Alvarado opened October 10 at the Mexican Heritage Plaza Theater at the School of Arts and Culture.

“Macario” is originally a novel written in the 1940’s by German author Traven, who made his way to Mexico in the 1920’s. He left Germany because he was being persecuted for political activism.

“It’s a story set in pre-independence Mexico and at the time there was a very rigid cast system, where indigenous people were treated very badly. The inquisition was in full force,” said director Alvarado of Teatro Visión.

“There were racial categories and different laws for those groups, a lot of racism in our community.”

The foreign writer was very impressed and enthusiastic about the changes he was witnessing in Mexico. Traven took it upon himself to do research and began to write stories about the conditions of the indigenous people.

“Macario” is one of those stories, where three spirits approach the workingman when faced with the chance to having an entire turkey to eat.

“It was a very exciting time.

The Mexican revolution ended and all kinds of reform were being instituted, like the public education system,” said Alvarado. ”Even though there were very positive reforms being implemented, the plight of indigenous people was not changing.”

The Chicano theater company’s version of “Macario”

has been adapted from the novel and the film. A film was released in 1960 with the help of Emilio Carballido, one of Mexico’s leading playwrights. It was nominated for an Oscar, Mexico’s first time being nominated for best foreign film.

Still, when Alvarado and co-director Rodrigo Garcia conceived the idea of a play, it wasn’t simply out of a desire for originality. They consider “Macario” very much part of the literary and cultural legacy in Mexico.

To get the rights, there were countless trips south of the border, research, and conversations to be had. Alvarado was uncertain with whom to speak, but eventually got permission from the author’s descendant.

After getting the request from the family to work closely to the novel, Teatro Visión collaborated with playwright Evelina Fernández, composer Russell Rodríguez, and choreographer María De La Rosa. They developed an outline and concept. They explored it through improv and discussion.

”It’s definitely relevant to the existence of hunger in this valley, one of the wealthiest regions in the nation,” said Alvarado. “Yet there is much hunger in our community, particularly in immigrant communities.”

In the summer of 2012, Alvarado suffered an aneurism.

The project was postponed for a whole year. She stated she was fine and considered herself lucky.

In a way they had to start over in the production part.

They had to recast. The current cast includes five children and community members. So the cast is a mixture of experienced actors and people that have taken their theater class. Rehearsals started August 5. The play has a lot of music and dance. ”It’s a not-to-be-missed production for the whole family, all ages,” said Alvarado.

FASHION & BEAUTY

Juan Carlos Miranda SPECIAL TO EL OBSERVADOR I’m the kind of guy who, even though I’m all about style and trends, I’m ashamed to admit I only own ONE suit, a three piece suit at that, but nonethe-

less just one suit. Why is that wrong you ask? There is nothing wrong owning just one suit, if you don’t work in the corporate world or your job simply doesn’t require you to dress up. However, it is a good idea to invest in at least three suits and I’ll tell you why.

WE’VE MOVED 470 East Brokaw, San Jose, CA 95112

Estimados clientes queremos expresarle nuestra gratitud y sincero agradecimiento por todo su apoyo y cooperación que nos han brindado.

Esperamos continuar tener una excelente relación con todos ustedes.

as well wear a uniform that will make you look like you’re an honest man.

Versatility You don’t always have to wear the complete suit every time you wear it. Be creative and have fun with your suit.

Take the jacket and vest (if it’s a three piece) and wear them with a dress shirt, a tie and a nice pair of jeans. Jeans will not only add a youthful element to the ensemble, but it will also make you seem more approachable and stylish.

You could also kick those clunky shoes to the curb and ditch the dress shirt. Instead go for a casual print sweater, t-shirt and some cool kicks to wear with your two piece for a more playful look. After all, dressing up should be fun.

You Mean Business

The Look Wearing a well tailored suit does not only make you look good, it makes you feel good.

They are like the little black dress for men. It simply looks good on every shape depending on the fit. That is the reason why, when purchasing a suit, it is important to get one that is tailored to your body.

It should fit like a glove.

Suits can speak a lot of languages, but the one I like the most, is that you know when you wear one, you mean business. Nothing says “I’m here to make a deal,” while looking like a million bucks, more than a man in a suit-a well tailored suit that is.

That’s the reason why Wall St. execs wear suits, because they mean business and are ready to make deals at the drop of a hat. Suits are also the preferred choice for politicians. After all, if you’re going to have to keep lying to your constituents you might

you were exposed to, and the soaps and lotions you used.

By keeping a skin log, you may notice patterns that could ultimately help you identify triggers to avoid. If self-diagnosis doesn’t work, a visit to an allergist may prove beneficial in helping you pinpoint the source of your woes.

From weather extremes to harsh cleansing products, there is no end to what can trigger irritated skin. For those with a particularly sensitive epidermis, itchy outbreaks may seem like a way of life, especially during the cooler months.

However, a few lifestyle tweaks can help you keep your skin clear and healthy.

With this in mind, the experts at Sun Products, makers of All Free Clear, the number one detergent brand recommended by dermatologists, allergists and pediatricians for sensitive skin, are offering some seasonal sensitive skin tips:

Keep a Diary When your skin feels irritated, write down all the factors that could have come into play -- the foods you ate, the fabrics you wore, the weather

Wash Smart You may not realize it, but the detergent you use to launder your clothing and linens could be the culprit.

The additives that standard detergents contain can be tough on skin. Opt for a gentle hypoallergenic detergent free of perfumes and dyes that’s clinically proven to be gentle for sensitive skin.

For example, All Free Clear, the number one detergent brand recommended by dermatologists, allergists and pediatricians for sensitive skin, tackles tough dirt and stains while being gentle on

Whatever the occasion, you know you can never go wrong wearing a suit. So next time you are caught in a conundrum, simply reach into your closet and get one of those nice suits you have stashed away for a special occasion and add your own twist to it.

skin. While it’s not intended to treat or prevent allergies, it does effectively remove 99 percent of tree and grass pollen, ragweed pollen, dog and cat danger and dust mite matter with every wash.

Shower Time A long, hot shower may feel great during the cooler months, but it’s not necessarily good for the skin. Prolonged exposure to hot water can have a drying effect. So keep showers quick and cool.

Use a hypoallergenic soap designed for sensitive skin.

Afterward, don’t go overboard rubbing down with the towel. Patting yourself dry is a much better option.

Keep skin moisturized with a perfume-free lotion.

With a few changes to your daily routine, you can help put your days of itchy, irritated skin behind you.

The Quinteto Latino/Latin American Chamber Music Festival/Festival de Música de Cámara Latinoamericana will make its debut from October 15-19, 2013, with music representing Mexico, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Venezuela, and other countries. The Festival, held at various venues in San Jose and San Francisco, will include six concerts featuring popular wind ensemble ,Quinteto Latino, in performance with professional musicians from throughout the Bay Area, the United States and Latin America,

educational workshops and talks, as well as performances inspiring young artists and students.

The vision for this first-ever Festival of its kind in the U.S. comes from what event producer, Armando Castellano, Quinteto Latino musician/ founder and music educator, sees as a pressing need to diversify the traditional chamber music landscape rooted almost exclusively in a Western European repertoire. “We want the QL Festival to be a catalyst for

change that brings Latino chamber music center stage and shows the richness of the many contributions from Latino culture to the genre,” said Castellano.

By creating a new “performance paradigm,” the Festival also wants to make chamber music, often seen as the purview of a select audience, accessible to new audiences of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds. “Our events will differ in structure from a typical classical recital: they will be approachable

do hispano parlante. Isabel era hija de Juan II de Castilla y su segunda esposa Isabel de Portugal. A la edad de 17 años experimentó <<un sueño repetitivo>> que reincidió casi todos los días durante un mes.

En sus visiones observó que se edificaban dos copas de plata llenas de vino que estaban juntas en una ventana y entrelazadas con una fina cinta de terciopelo con bordados de oro, vio a un desconocido venir quien colocaba grandes canastas repletas de frutos y bebidas al pie de las copas. De pronto aparecieron ante sus ojos imágenes de ritos y ritmos desconocidos que convirtieron aquellas copas de plata en copas de oro que se multiplicaban.

Isabel hacía un par de años que tenía como dama de compañía a una francesa entendida en temas ocultos, esa dama de compañía descifró su sueño como un próximo matrimonio causante de alianzas poderosas, también que un extranjero pondría el mundo a sus pies gracias al fruto de lo desconocido y que su descendencia gozaría de una enorme fortuna.

Un día Isabel le comentó aquel sueño a uno de sus confesores y éste le dijo que existía mucho pecado en la región, que el vino, el baile y las copas que se multiplicaban eran artificios del demonio y que Dios estaba enviando señales para que estuviera lista al llamado en defensa de la Iglesia.

Después de haber emprendido grandes luchas contra los moros y los partidarios de su sobrina Juana la Beltraneja y su consorte Alfonso V de Portugal, por fin pudo junto a su esposo Fernando de Aragón, unificar los reinos peninsulares de España después de participar en la toma de Granada en 1492.

Cuando se presentó ante ella Cristóbal Colón, de inmediato recordó ambos presagios y no dudó en empeñar joyas y pertenencias reales para recaudar los fondos necesarios y patrocinar la campaña del almirante genovés que le daría ventura y expansión al reino de Castilla, asimismo no pasó por alto las sentencias del consejero y como fervientemente católica ayudó a organizar la inquisición.

México (NOTIMEX) El cantante y escritor español Enrique Bunbury presentó su nueva producción discográfica “Palosanto”, un disco muy conceptual y con temas inéditos. De “Palosanto”, detalló que es un material de su propia producción, que quiso grabar de manera conceptual, “que reflejará lo que yo he visto en las sociedades en los últimos tres años; las necesidades de los pueblos de un cambio real e incluso radical y en dirección opuesta a dónde va la humanidad”.

Comentó que este álbum es contemporáneo y tiene una parte introvertida y otra más extrovertida, “no es mirando hacia atrás, a las raíces, es un disco mirando al año 2013, he intentado hacer un disco actual, moderno y alejado de las miradas retro”.

lugar mágico y místico para hacer las fotos, las cuales se tomaron en California, una montaña que pintó una persona mayor.

“Despierta”, su primer sencillo, que lanzó en septiembre pasado, representa esa nueva vena de “activista musical”, que Bunbury se ha preocupado por compartir con su público.

Recalcó que el verdadero cambio es siempre individual y también debe ser espiritual. “Sólo puedes cambiar el mundo cambiándote a tí mismo. Eso es lo que he querido plasmar en el disco”.

Sobre el arte de “Palosanto”, comentó que buscaba un

“Pintó frases espirituales y religiosas; cuando revelamos el carrete, vimos que había un ovni y nos pareció significativo, que nos estaba vigilando o venía por nosotros”.

Como un amante de la música, Bunbury minimizó las comparaciones y alega que, después de tantos años, sus discos suenan a él mismo y que, en realidad, lo que más le interesa es regalarle música bella a sus seguidores.

“Yo necesito seguir escuchando grandes canciones y emocionarme con el trabajo de los demás. Yo necesito que alguien componga hermosas canciones para mí, y yo intento hacerlo para los demás”.

Austin TEXAS Poco después de su actuación en el Empire Control Room & Garage (Austin), la ganadora de dos Grammy Latino, Carla Morrison acudió a Plaza Saltillo esta tarde para presentar su nueva campaña PETA Latino en la que la cantante mexicana, conocida por su canción “Eres Tú”, le canta a su perro rescatado Tino, en un banco de un parque, junto a la frase “Eres tú quien puede salvar una vida. Siempre adopta. Nunca compra”.

La campaña, la primera que PETA Latino rueda fuera de los Estados Unidos (se rodó en la Ciudad de México).

“Decidí adoptar porque… quería recoger de la calle a un perro abandonado porque hay muchos de donde yo vengo “, explicó la cantante en una entrevista concedida

a PETA Latino. “Adopta. Hay muchos perros y se me rompe el corazón cuando la gente los vende. Ellos sienten tu amor, entienden tus sentimientos y tus intenciones “. Cada año, en EE.UU., entre 6 y 8 millones de perros y gatos entran en refugios de animales, pero casi la mitad son sacrificados porque no hay casas de acogida para todos.

Por cada perrito o gatito que compramos en una tienda de mascotas o en un criadero, un perro o un gato de un refugio pierde una oportunidad de

ser acogido en un hogar. La única forma de que no haya animales abandonados es detener la crianza de perros y gatos. PETA Latino anima a todas las familias a salvarle la vida a un animal adoptándolo, esterilizando y castrando, siempre, a sus animales de compañía. Morrison se une a una larga lista de músicos y celebridades, incluidos Morrissey, Rubén Albarrán, Joan Jett, Dave Navarro y Rodrigo y Gabriela, miembros de PETA y PETA Latino para fomentar el amor a los animales.

â&#x20AC;˘ Change lightbulbs.

Consider swapping existing lightbulbs for more energyefficient models or simply wait for the old ones to burn out and make the change as you go. Longer-lasting LED lighting offers energy efficiencies. â&#x20AC;˘ Check the water heater.

Experts recommend setting the water heater at 120° F, which is comfortable for most uses and minimizes energy use. To save even more energy, insulate the water heater with an insulating blanket, which can be found at most hardware stores. â&#x20AC;˘ Upgrade the thermostat. Installing a programmable thermostat can save up to 10 percent a year on heating and cooling when you program it to fall back 7 to 10 degrees while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re away at work. Prices start around $20 for basic models that most homeowners can install themselves. With many, you can set the program so your house is already comfortable when you return home.

Installing window film for sun control can help reduce energy use and protect furnishings from fading. For example, 3M Sun Control Window Films can reduce cooling costs by up to 25 percent by rejecting solar heat.

They also help block up to 99 percent of harmful UV rays to minimize fading and are available in varieties that do not change the appearance of the window. This can be a good solution for rooms that get lots of sun exposure or rooms with a patio door access. Window films can also reduce glare on TV or computer screens.

MOVIES

Captain Phillips is a multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. It is — through director Paul Greengrass’s distinctive lens — simultaneously a pulse-pounding thriller, and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of globalization. The film focuses on the relationship between the Alabama’s commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips (two time Academy Award-winner Tom Hanks), and the Somali pirate captain, Muse (Barkhad Abdi), who takes him hostage. Phillips and Muse are set on an unstoppable collision course when Muse and his crew target Phillips’ unarmed ship; in the ensuing standoff, 145 miles off the Somali coast, both men will find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control.

Danny Trejo returns as exFederale agent MACHETE, who is recruited by the President of the United States for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man - he must take down a madman revolutionary and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war and anarchy across the planet.

An ageless story from the world’s most renowned author is reimagined for the 21st Century.

This adaptation is told in the lush traditional setting it was written, but gives a new generation the chance to fall in love with the enduring legend. With an all-star cast including Hailee Steinfeld, Douglas Booth, Paul Giamatti and Stellan Skarsgard, it affords those unfamiliar with the tale the chance to put faces to the two names they’ve undoubtedly heard innumerable times: Romeo & Juliet. Every generation deserves to discover this lasting love.

Más de 60.5 millones de mexicanos dan seguimiento a los partidos de la Liga MX, los cuales son vistos por televisión en 70 países, pues en el mundo es la decimocuarta en valor de mercado, informó Decio de María.

De acuerdo con De María Serrano, presidente de la Liga MX, quien participó en la Cubre Mundial de Líderes Deportivos 2013 que se realiza en las instalaciones del club Chelsea, de la Liga Premier de Inglaterra, del total de seguidores, 38 por ciento son mujeres.

Además, mencionó, dada la distribución geográfica de los clubes de la Primera División se tiene una cobertura de 80 por ciento del territorio

mexicano. Asimismo, explicó que su modelo de gestión “muestra una flexibilidad para asociarse comercialmente, igualdad en la distribución de los ingresos, inversión en infraestructura para fortalecer las bases del futbol, una mejora constante en los estadios y promoción con los aficionados las 24 horas de los siete días de la semana”.

Mencionó que esto ha permitido ser la cuarta Liga a nivel mundial con mejor promedio de asistencia en los

Como ejemplo de esa expectación, De María citó que la última final entre el campeón América y Cruz Azul alcanzó los 15 millones de televidentes en territorio mexicano y 4.5 millones de mexicanos y latinos en Estados Unidos.

Para alcanzar objetivos está la inversión en jugadores, por lo cual la Liga MX tiene un costo de 464 millones 250 mil euros (unos ocho mil 286 millones 862 mil 500 pesos), para ser la decimosegunda posición mundial en cuanto a valor de mercado, sólo por debajo del campeonato brasileño en el continente Americano.
