LATINOS PIERDEN AUN GRAN HOMBRE

LATINOS WILL MISS HIS ADVOCACY

Page 2: EO Augst 28

Por Rosario VitalEl Observador

El defensor de los inmigrantes,Senador Ted Kennedy partió yha dejado un gran vacío en

nuestra comunidad. El respetable políticorepresentó una figura dominante en asun-tos del cuidado de la salud, derechos so-ciales y civiles y relaciones exteriores.Kennedy dejó un legado de legislación deservicio público.

Kennedy luchó hasta el final paraavanzar la reforma migratoria, y cuandono se logró este objetivo, instó a los líderescomunitarios de cada estado a que con-tinue con la tarea de esta lucha.

“Se le recuerda con profundo agradecimiento por su constante lucha en favorde los derechos de los inmigrantes y en losúltimos años, por susinmensos es-fuerzos

en tratar de concretar una reforma migra-toria integral. Kennedy fue algo así comola “conciencia” del Senado, de losdemócratas del Senado, de los demócratasen general. La esperanza es que quienesqueden atrás muestren al menos una frac-ción de esa conciencia y del compromisode Kennedy para hacer realidad la reformamigratoria”, indica Maribel Hastings deAmerica’s Voice.

“ El movimiento progresista perdió unhéroe. El Senador Ted Kennedy sirvió sintregua en el Senado para el estado de Mas-sachusetts y la nación por más de cuatrodécadas, poniendo todos sus esfuerzos entemas decisivos progresistas como la edu-cación, la reforma migratoria, la luchacontra la pobreza, la expansión de losderechos civiles, y la labor de garantizarel cuidado de la salud para cada esta-

dounidense. Cuando se trataba de ex-tender su mano a través de

partidos, crear compromisosy actuar en algo, el

Senador Kennedy not e n í a

comparación”,citaJohn Podesta, Pres-idente y CEO, deCenter for Amer-ican Progress.

“El liderazgo, sabiduríay habilidadpolítica delSenador Kennedyeran únicos”, dijo

el Director delSierra Club en Mas-

sachusetts, JamesMcCaffrey.

Por su parte la Con-gresista Barbara Lee

dijo, “Ted Kennedy siem-pre mostró gran compasión

por los menos afortunados ydedicó su vida a mejorar lasvidas de otros en el mundo.

A nivel local diferentes autoridades

e x p r e -

saron lo siguiente:“El compromiso del Senador Kennedy

al servicio público es un gran modelo paraotros. En San José se recordó su trabajo alado de César Chavez y su compromisopara ayudar a quienes menos tienen. En1980 dijo lo siguiente, “Los programas aveces pueden llegar a ser obsoletos, perola equidad ideal siempre perdura. Las cir-cunstancias pueden cambiar, pero la laborde la compasión debe continuar. “Estaspalabras perduran hoy y proporcionan unasólida orientación a los que están al servi-cio del público.”, asi lo dijo el alcalde deSan José, Chuck Reed.

Por su parte el Asambleista Joe Cotodijo que “El senador Ted Kennedy fue másque una figura pública en la política esta-dounidense. Su muerte debe alentar atodos a reflexionar sobre sus diversoslogros como senador y líder. Luchó por losjóvenes, los ancianos, los enfermos, lospobres, las personas que luchan con dis-capacidad,a quienes se les niegan los dere-chos civiles básicos que todos losestadounidenses tienen derecho.

En algunos de los momentos mástrágicos y difíciles de nuestro país, TedKennedy reunió a sus fuerza y concentrósu energía en el desarrollo de un futuromás esperanzador. Ya que una nación ycomo pueblo, nos alentó a desarrollar elliderazgo inspirador de sus dos hermanosy lo utilizan para dejar un legado de latransformación social que es lo que eracapaz de lograr.

Se sumó a los comentarios el Presi-dente la Universidad Hispana, DavidLopez “El Senador Kennedy y la familiaKennedy, han sido guerreros a favor de lasclases trabajadoras y el pueblo. ElSenador, así como su familia, han luchadosiempre por la igualdad social, acceso a laeducación y servicios de salud. Tambiénfue líder en el proceso de la reforma mi-gratoria. Deseamos que él y otros grandesfamiliares que han dedicado su vida al ser-vicio de los demás descansen en paz.Todos debemos esforzarnos por mantenervivo su legado.”

“Fue un gran patriarca de la familiaKennedy. Fue una inspiración para todosnosotros. Aquellos que conocimos sabe-

mos de la calidad de persona quefue. Muy humano, muy justo,

mediador, negociador ensituaciones difíciles,” asi lodijo la Vocera de la Casade Representantes, Con-gresista Nancy Pelosiquien vio por última vez alSenador para hablar sobreuna Legislación de Volun-tariado en America.

¡Gracias Senador porapoyarnos, descanse enpaz!Δ

LATINOS PIERDEN A UN GRAN HOMBREBy Hilbert Morales - EL OBSERVADOR

Upon learning that Senator Kennedy had died this past night (Au-gust 26, 2009) because of his brain tumor affliction which hecoped with for the past 18 months, I decided to present to our EO

readership some comments concerning the impact and meaning of this man’spassing on. As publisher of EO, I want our readers to know what this lossmeans to the Hispanic-Latino community. Kennedy was a champion for whatwas right for the people; was an excellent negotiator; had an ability to getthe other party to see reason, etc. He was known as the “Liberal Lion”. Thepublic policy arenas of labor law, health care, civil rights, and comprehensiveimmigration reform were all issues for which he was a champion.

Here are comments made by our elected officials who repre-sent “Silicon Valley”:

The Honorable Zoe Lofgren, (D, Congressional District 16, San Jose, CA)Chair, California Delegation to the House of Representatives, stated, “Our na-tion has lost one of its most outspoken voices for justice and equality. SenatorEdward Kennedy was a champion for those who had no voice, and I join withmy fellow Americans in mourning his passing. He leaves a lasting and en-during legacy, his work on civil rights, social justice, immigration reform, andhealth care access, will continue to inspire us as we work to make America abetter place.”

California State Assembly member Joe Coto’s comment were “SenatorTed Kennedy was a larger than life figure in American politics. His passingshould encourage all of us to reflect on his many accomplishments as Senatorand leader. He fought for the young, the old, the sick, the poor, people strug-gling with disabilities, those denied the basic civil rights all Americans areentitled. At some of the nation’s most tragic and difficult moments, TedKennedy gathered his strength and focused his energy on developing a morehopeful future. As a nation and as a people, he encouraged us to build uponthe inspirational leadership of his two brothers and use it to leave a legacyof social transformation which he was able to accomplish. May he rest inpeace.”

A statement from Mayor Chuck Reed on the passing of Senator EdwardKennedy reads as follows: “Today, as the world mourns the death of SenatorEdward Kennedy, I and the residents of San Jose want to share our condo-lences and prayers with his family. Senator Kennedy’s commitment to publicservice will be a lasting legacy and a model for others. Public service for Sen-ator Kennedy was a way of life, and his commitment continued even throughhis final difficulties. Here in San Jose, we remember his work with CesarChavez and his commitment to help those in need. In 1980 he said the fol-lowing, “Programs may sometimes become obsolete, but the ideal of fairnessalways endures. Circumstances may change, but the work of compassionmust continue.” These words endure today and provide solid guidance tothose who serve the public.”

The President of the National Hispanic University located in San Jose,CA, Dr. David Lopez, made the following statement: “Senator Kennedy andthe Kennedy family have all been “warriors” or ‘guerreros’ for the workingclass and people. Senator Kennedy, as the rest of his family, have alwayschampioned educational and social access as well as equality for Latinos andothers. May he and his other great family members that have sacrificed un-selfishly rest in eternal peace. We all must strive to keep the American Dreamand the flame alive.”

Now that our ‘Liberal Lion’ has passed on, it seems that as a Latino com-munity acting collectively and individually, we must act in our own self in-terest by registering to vote, learning about the issues, and then voting inour own best interests. There will be three very important elections. One elec-tion on November 3, 2009; a gubernatorial primary election during June2010; and an election during November 2010. Our votes may be individualand private, but collectively they will count. When counted, as Latinos wewill responsibly experience our collective power and influence in this Amer-ican nation. We must all strive to be engaged and involved because togetherwe are a positive force which keeps the American Dream Alive. In honor ofSenator Ted Kennedy, we Latinos must become responsible and engaged ascitizens and as a people. So let’s do just that. (Read more comments onwww. el-observador.com)

Latinos will miss Senator EdwardM. Kennedy’s Advocacy and Leadership.

As a hyper-partisan Congress and broadcast punditsblather incessantly about the economic meltdownand the plutocrats on Wall Street who perpetrated

it by their fraudulent financial manipulations grab billionsfrom taxpayers, working class Americans are losing their jobs,

homes, health care, and hope for any se-cure retirement. Our nation faces dimin-ished prospects for our children,grandchildren and generations to come.

Though some honest elected and ap-pointed officials seek solutions to the pa-thetic state of our nation, financialcorporate vultures insidiously circle themeltdown with keen eyes on evermore

opportunities to transmogrify defaulting home loans and 401Kretirement and other investment accounts in free fall into op-portunities for their multimillion dollar bonuses.

It’s the Iron Law of Unregulated (read: lawless) Capital-ism: for every loser there is a winner. In fact, for thousandsof losers, those losing their jobs, their homes, their retirementsavings, their so-called prudent/safe/conservative investmentsin the stock market of American free enterprise, there are hand-fuls of winners who are winning BIG. These winners are notjust the bonus recipients of AIG recently laid bare by media,exposing the lifestyles of these rich who did not want to be fa-mous in their excess. No, the really big winners have beenwith us all along, called the Masters of the Universe, who’sWall Street “financial paper” exploits netted them millions peryear, billions for really big players such are Robert Rubin andHenry Paulson. These Masters, so-called self-made billion-aires, were the foxes let into the henhouse as Clinton’s andGeorge W.’s Treasury Secretaries, where they sharpened theirexpertise on how to turn the American economy into a neverempty piggy bank for their Wall Street ruling class.

Yet the most obvious solution to the meltdown has beenon our horizon all along: fix the economy by serving humanneeds. Rather than give billions to shore up defaulting banksthat instead of lending to employers to get Americans workingagain, are actually buying other banks in Europe and Asia.

We must spend our tax dollars on rebuilding our own civilsociety. How? At the end of World War II, when most of Eu-rope was devastated by five years of the most destructive warin history, our nation created the Marshall Plan to rebuild theinfrastructure of Europeans nations’ transportation, water,sewage, and power generation systems. Today America des-perately needs its own Marshall Plan to rebuild our infrastruc-ture which is in great disrepair, evidenced by preventableyearly disasters such as falling bridges, failing levees (remem-ber New Orleans after Katrina?), and the shameful reality thatwe are the only developed nation on Earth without universalhealth care and preschool to graduate school education.

What keeps America in such a state of disrepair and in-equity? A Congress with too many mini-demagogues moreinterested in remaining “in the game” by serial re-elections fi-nanced by industry lobbyists, rather than serving the public byactually solving our nation’s problems. What are your stateand national representatives doing to fix our economy? Goask them!

National Labor Rights WeekBy Hilbert Morales - El Observador

Ocurr

ielcias

It was interesting to hear the com-mentary of the panel composed ofJosue Garcia, Building & Con-

struction Trades Council, Pedro Espinoza ofthe Mexican Consulate, San Jose and Lor-raine Garcia, United Food CommercialWorkers Service Union with moderatorDamien Trujillo on the Comunidad del Valleprogram of Sunday, August 23, 2009. Thetheme being addressed is the coming Na-tional Labor Rights Week of August 31 toSeptember 4, 2009 which precedes the com-ing national Labor Day Holiday.

Their comments focused mainly on themonitoring and enforcement of ensuring la-boring peoples prevailing wages; maintain-ing safe working conditions; providing restperiods (at least a 15 minute break every twohours; bathroom breaks, a reasonable lunchhour period, and no verbal, physical or sex-ual harassment. These are all items leadingto the respectful treatment of honest laboringfolks.

But there is a serious concern which wasnot addressed at all. We must rememberthose who are without work; who suffer fromwant and anxiety from lack of work. Wemust ask the leaders of our nation to use ourpublic and private wealth in a manner that allmay find suitable and fulfilling employmentand receive just payment for their labors.

We, as a laboring community, have notdiscussed the reality that as corporate busi-ness leaders invest in automation, cybernet-ics, and robotics, the production of goods canbe increased without the employment of ad-ditional labor. Do recall those video clips of

auto assembly lines where robots do thewelding. This automation has eliminatedjobs and reduced labor expenses because ro-bots do not require rest periods (other thanmaintenance and calibration downtime), re-tirement funds and medical insurance. Wemust take note of the business reports whichreveal that production is rising while em-ployment is declining as an outcome of theuse of robots.

It is these trends projected into the futurewhich must be analyzed and discussed fromthe perspective of laboring communities. Iffuture information and technical develop-ments lead to fewer jobs, then the questionthat must be addressed is “How will individ-uals be able to earn a living without a tradi-tional job? The question that follows is “Howwill a couple earn enough to support a fam-ily?” Relying on big government to tax veryrich individuals and corporations in order todistribute those tax revenues as ‘unemploy-ment benefits’ or ‘welfare benefits’ is alreadybeing resisted by many policy makers, espe-cially those of the Republican Party whosemantra seems to be “Reduce Taxes” in orderto stimulate business.

It seems to me that a nation with asmany resources as America already has, canand must address the challenges which leadto a fair and humane distribution of wealthfor all to afford a home, basic universalhealth care, appropriate nutrition, recreationand necessary training and vocational skillsfor self improvement. Can we initiate alocal discussion on this very important con-cern soon so that we continue to generate ap-

propriate public policy and related standardswhich apply to all of us fairly?

My observations are that those whohave, are in a position to get more! How canthe American Dream be sustained in a busi-ness as usual climate which favors ‘TheHaves’ and presents almost insurmountablechallenges to the ‘Have-Nots’? We are al-ready discussing the public policy about‘Universal Health Care’ which contains apublic option and experiencing the manymisrepresentations made by those who fearchange. The creation of jobs for people hasbecome very important. If the powerfulAmerican Consumer Economy is to be re-established, then it must be the concerned re-sponsibility of businesses (corporations)which are located in our communities to sus-tain jobs for workers who are essential tomaintaining the American Consumer Econ-omy. People need jobs and current technol-ogy seems to be eliminating those jobs. Let’sparticipate in an analysis of this process sothat cybernetics, robotics, and automation areused to the benefit of all of us and not justthose who already have enough. This is achallenge that must be addressed collabora-tively by Labor leaders, business leaders, andour elected officials. The goal is to use ournational resources for the benefit of all of us.I suggest that National Labor Rights Week isthe time to begin this analysis and discussionwith all stakeholders included and involved.It seems to me that Labor does have a rightto have access to a job which permits the in-dividual to earn his/her way to their Ameri-can Dream.Δ

El pasado 5 de mayo unjoven de 17 años deedad se suicidó en las

vías del tren en la ciudad de PaloAlto. El 12 de junio otra joven de17 años de edad también se sui-cidó en el mismo lugar. El 21 deagosto una adolescente de 13 añosse suicidó nuevamente en el mismolugar. Estos tres estudiantespertenecen a la Escuela SecundariaGunn de la ciudad de Palo Alto.¿Qué está pasando entre losjóvenes?

En junio una madre salvó demorir a su hijo quien tenía todas lasintenciones de suicidarse y graciasa la intervención el joven se en-cuentra en proceso de recu-peración. Este estudiante es de lamisma escuela secundaria.

¿Cuál es el problema en laescuela? ¿Qué pasa en la mentede los estudiantes? ¿Qué tantopodemos hacer los padres? ¿Esun pacto secreto entre losjóvenes? El Observador (EO) tuvooportunidad de hablar con padresde familia de esta escuela pero nohan querido ser identificados.Todos afirman que la Escuela Se-cundaria Gunn una buena escuelay como tal es exigente, los mucha-chos llevan mucha tarea a casa.

“Si los estudiantes pertenecena un grupo de exigencia excesivas.Los jóvenes entre ellos entran encompetencia y cada vez se exigenmás, causando estrés”, indica el Dr.en Psicología Clínica SamuelTabachnik.

El suicidio es la tercera causade muerte entre los jóvenes adoles-centes según indica la AsociaciónAmericana de Suicidios. Unpromedio de 33 mil personasmueren por suicidio en los EstadosUnidos. A nivel local tres jóvenesse han suicidado y hubo un intentode suicidio en tan solo tres meses.

¿Cómo identificar a un jovencon intentos de suicidios?

“Hay cambios en el compor-tamiento. Hay falta de apetito, hayproblemas de alimentación, per-dida de interés en cualquier tema,se retraen, se desconectan de sumedio ambiente de las fuentes deconexión y cariño. Otras veces losjóvenes muestran exceso de emo-ciones, llanto, preocupación, que-

jas indica el Dr.Tabachnik.El especialista en psicología

también indica que muchos de estosjóvenes usan drogas, están descuida-dos en su aspecto personal así comootros tienden a vestirse solo denegro. Otro de los indicios es que los

jóvenes se preocupan de la muerte.Los padres tienen que estar aten-

tos con los hijos. Ya sabemos que enla etapa de la adolescencia la cual esconsiderada como la etapa de“emancipación” o “rebeldía”, losjóvenes buscan su espacio y se debe

respetar y ayudarles a crecer. Es im-portante que busque la manera demantener comunicación y observarsus conductas. Los padres conocenperfectamente la conducta de su hijo.

By Osvaldo Castillo - El Observador

When a society experiences harshand difficult times, it is importantfor a community to unify and

share resources so that no one struggles to get by.Local artists Matt Gonzales and Diana

Medrano put together an event on Saturday, Au-gust 22, that enabled community members toreach out to each other and share resources.

The event was called For the People, By thePeople! (Para la Gente, Por la Gente!).

“We wanted to do something different,”Medrano said. “We wanted to show that we wereunited.”

“We also want the people to know that wecan all reach the top if we all worked together,”added Gonzales.

The event featured artists like AnabellaPinon, Ivan Gonzales and Miguel Verar.

“The artist will do some live painting, whichin a way is the same as performing.” Medranosaid.

Gonzales and his band, The Blank Manu-script, along with several DJ’s provided the mu-sical entertainment.

Several non-profit organizations were alsoat the event and handed out information. Theseorganizations included Cochilehautli, which pro-vides services for immigrant student, and healthservices organizations that provided information

on health care.“We also got Heart of Chaos to get involved

with what we were trying to do,” Medrano said.“They specialize in helping out troubled youthand introducing them to art.”

Despite the success of the event, the organ-izers said that putting together the event was nota simple task.

“The first thing we needed was funding,”Gonzales said. “Neither of us had ever done any-thing like this before, so this was definitely alearning experience. But once people knew whatwe were about and what we were trying to do,they got on board to be a part of this event.”

Gonzales and Medrano both said that theyhoped those who attended had a positive experi-ence at the event and with a sense of community.

“We want people to leave feeling inspired,”Medrano said. “We want them to want to createand to volunteer in their communities.”

Unified Artist’s next event will be held onOctober 31. The exact location of the event is tobe determined, but Gonzales said that the eventwould have a Dia de los Muertos theme.

“We are starting to plan it now and it shouldbe a successful event because we have more timeand experience now when it comes to puttingthese sorts of events together,” Gonzales said.

Rising Together

WASHINGTON - El tiempo se estáterminando para muchas pe-queñas empresas que deseen

aprovechar la opción expandida de deducir pér-didas de negocio en años anteriores incluidas enla ley de recuperación de este año, señaló el Ser-vicio de Impuestos Internos (IRS). Las personaselegibles tienen hasta el 15 de octubre para elegiresta opción expandida. Las corporaciones elegi-bles con año calendario tienen hasta el 15 de sep-tiembre.

Esta disposición para pérdidas tomadas enaños anteriores ofrece a pequeñas empresas queperdieron dinero en el 2008 una excelente manerade rápidamente obtener dinero en efectivo muynecesitado si tuvieron ganancias en años anteri-ores. Esta opción solo está disponible por untiempo limitado, así es que las pequeñas empre-sas deben considerarla cuidadosamente y actuarantes de que sea demasiado tarde.

Bajo el Acta de Recuperación y ReinversiónAmericana (ARRA) promulgada en febrero,muchas pequeñas empresas cuyos gastos ex-cedieron sus ingresos en el 2008 pueden elegirtomar las pérdidas resultantes hasta por cincoaños en lugar de los dos años tradicionales. Estosignifica que un negocio que haya tenido una pér-dida neta de operación (NOL, por sus siglas eningles), en el 2008 pudiera tomar tal pérdida en

años anteriores hasta el año tributario 2003, enlugar de solamente hasta el 2006. Esto significano solo un reembolso tributario especial, pero elreembolso pudiese ser mayor, porque la pérdidase está distribuyendo entre hasta cinco años trib-utarios, en lugar de solo dos.

Bajo el ARRA, los contribuyentes elegiblespueden elegir deducir pérdidas NOL derivadas enun año tributario comenzando o finalizando en el2008 por tres, cuatro o cinco años en lugar dedos. La opción está disponible para pequeñas em-presas elegibles (ESB, en inglés) que tengan unpromedio de no más de $15 millones en ingresosbrutos por un período de tres años culminandocon el año tributario del NOL. Esta opción puedehacerse solo para un año tributario.

Los individuos pueden acelerar un reembolsoal presentar el Formulario 1045, “Application forTentative Refund” (Solicitud por ReembolsoTentativo). Igualmente, corporaciones con NOLtambién pueden acelerar un reembolso usando elFormulario 1139, “Corporation Application forTentative Refund” (Solicitud de Corporaciónpara Reembolso Tentativo). Normalmente, losreembolsos son enviados dentro de 45 días. Estosformularios, junto con respuestas a preguntas fre-cuentes acerca de esta opción especial de deducirpérdidas en años anteriores, y otros detalles estándisponibles en IRS.gov.

Erasto Chávez ya no tuvo queviajar desde Salinas a San Josépara tramitar su matrícula con-

sular. Se evitó perder un día de trabajo yen menos de 42 minutos su documento seemitió sin ningún problema.

“Jamás me imaginé que iba a salir tanrápido”, dice el hombre que se desempeñacomo transportista y que aprovechó suúnico día de descanso para iniciar lostrámites en su consulado. Así comoChávez otros 500 personas más recibieronuna atención personalizada.

Para que todo esto se haga realidad elpersonal del Consulado de México de SanJosé se movilizó desde las cinco de lamañana y otro grupo adelantó con un díaprevio para la instalación de todo el sis-tema computarizado que se exige paraemitir los documentos.

El consulado móvil emite pasaportesy matrículas consulares y atiende a más de600 personas cada vez que sale de SanJosé. “En años anteriores se han hecho 11consulados móviles ahora hacemos 18,esto es un gran esfuerzo”, dijo el CónsulGeneral de México en San José, DavidFigueroa.

Esta oficina consular tiene que servira una comunidad gigantesca que incluyeademás del Condado de Santa Clara,cubre San Benito, Monterey y Santa Cruz,en los cuales se estima hay cerca de

660,000 mexicanos, provenientes en sumayoría de los estados de Michoacán,Jalisco, Guanajuato, Zacatecas y Oaxaca.

El Observador compartió una jornadalaboral con todos las personas que hacenposible que estos consulados móviles ten-gan éxito. “Siendo las 8:15 de la mañanase entrega la primera matrícula consular”,anuncia satisfecho el Cónsul Figueroa.

Figueroa entregó de comienzo a fin acada uno de sus connacionales los docu-mentos que solicitaron y a su vez dio in-formación y respondió a preguntas de losusuarios.

El pasado sábado 22 de agosto el con-sulado móvil se desplazó a King City, aunas dos horas de distancia de San José,

más o menos 108 millas de distancia. Enese consulado móvil fueron atendidas 600personas quienes programaron sus citasprevias llamadas telefónicas al 1-800 639-4835 (línea gratuita). El consulado móvilllega a King City después de 5 años y tuvolugar en la Escuela Intermedia ChalonePeaks localizada en el 667 Meyer St. deKing City, zona muy céntrica permitiendoque algunos mexicanos llegaran cami-nando.

El Observador felicita al Consuladode México en San José, al confirmar quesiguen efectuando una notable labor en lasciudades lejanas. Esta oficina llega a suscompatriotas para ayudarlo, algo que otrosconsulados deberían hacer. Δ

“In order for a community to progress, the communityneeds to know and be proud of its roots, “ said San Jose artistAngel Luna, (A Tape Called Mex)

Luna, along with Fernando J. Perez (DJ Tlacoyo) and Mar-cos S. Jimenez used this mindset to produce a video that fea-tures local San Jose musicians, and focuses on Latino music’spast, present and future. The title of the documentary is MusicaPop-bre.

“We wanted to make a documentary that showed howyoung Latino music had evolved in San Jose,” Perez said.

The video focuses on Latino Hip-Hop artists and punk rockbands.

“We wanted to unite these different artists and to showthem that we are all the same regardless of our musical taste,”Luna said.

“Punk rock and Hip-Hop also follow the tradition folkmusic,” Jimenez said. “All three styles of music deal with pol-itics and corruption. This music is blunt and can not be mar-keted because it belongs to us.”

The documentary features bands and artist like La Grita,La Plebe and Las Adelitas.

It also features Hernan Hernandez of Los Tigres del Norte.“Hernan agreed to be in this video because he knew it was

important that young Latinos need to know about Latin musi-cians in San Jose,” Luna said.

Funding for this movie was provided by a grant from 1stAct Silicon Valley and from Silicon Valley DeBug.

The documentary also features Latino DJ’s from San JoseState’s KSJS.

“KSJS promotes our culture,” Fernandez said. “The DJs dowhat they do, not to promote themselves, but to inform thecommunity about what is out there. They are the real risk tak-ers.”

The producers of the movie said that they hope to presenttheir video in local high schools throughout San Jose.

“We want these kids to know that they are not alone,” Lunasaid. “We want them to know that there are other people outthere that they can relate to.”

They also hope to be able to get the video available On De-mand and showcase it at the up coming San Jose Mariachi Fes-tival.

“We hope to get all the bands in the video to perform at theevent also,” Luna said.

For more information on this video or if you would like toset up a screening of the movie call (408) 476-5128, or [email protected].

“We hope to have a discussion forum all well as someworkshops to go along with the screening,” Perez said.

With streets blocked off and peopledancing to live salsa music, the SecondAnnual Salsa Festival was a celebration

of local communities and businesses working for thegreater good.

The event was held on Saturday August 22, atAlum Rock Avenue in San Jose, between White Roadand Manning/Miller Avenues.

“This event is a chance for us to give back to acommunity that has given so much to us,” said FrankCortez, a business owner in the Alum Rock District andone of the organizers of the event.

The Alum Rock Village Business Association andthe San Jose Redevelopment Agency put the event to-gether. Councilmember Nora Campos, District 5, andSupervisor Dave Cortese were in attendance.

“This festival would not have been possible with-out the leadership of all those involved,” Campos said.“It is important to support local businesses in East SanJose.”

Supervisor Cortese also said he felt it was impor-tant to support businesses in East San Jose.

“So many people, including myself, hold this areaclose to their hearts,” Cortese said. “We need to makesure that the businesses in this area continue to be suc-cessful.”

Harry S. Mavrogenes, Executive Director of theSan Jose Redevelopment Agency was also in atten-dance.

“We have put money into this area and startingto see results,” Mavrogenes said. “We are committed tothis area and will continue to work here.”

The Alum Rock Village Business Association rep-resents businesses between Highway 101 and Mil-lar/Manning Avenues. It is in its 25th year of providingbusiness development service.  Established in 1984,the Alum Rock Neighborhood Business District (NBD)is known as the gateway to Mount Hamilton, the Uni-versity of California’s Lick Observatory and Alum RockPark.

The Alum Rock NBD is one of eight NBDs locatedin a San Jose Redevelopment Project Area.  To date, the

Redevelopment Agency has invested more than $280million throughout the eight NBDs including morethan $54 million in the Alum Rock NBD, leveraging ap-proximately $321 million.  Improvements in the

Alum Rock area includes the construction of theAlum Rock Youth Center, and streetscape and façadeenhancements. 

“When we needed additional funding for ournew Alum Rock library, the Redeveloping agency wasthere for us,” Campos said. “They provided us with $3million to complete the project. The Agency also gaveus money to fix the parking lot over at James Lick HighSchool.”

Motivados por las contin-uas y cada vez más agre-sivas amenazas y

acciones contra la oposición, empresar-ios y medios de comunicación deVenezuela, así como por su discursogrosero, intolerante y con tintes clara-mente intervencionistas contra tercerospaíses, un grupo de ciudadanos a travésde la red social Facebook ha convocadoa una Marcha contra Hugo Chávez conel fin de llamar la atención del mundosobre el peligro que representa paraAmérica Latina la política interven-cionista y belicista de este jefe de es-tado.

Es importante resaltar que esta mar-

GRAN MARCHA MUNDIAL CONTRA HUGO CHAVEZcha no tiene carácter político, y no es su ob-jetivo atacar posiciones de carácter social-ista, como tampoco pretende apoyarideologías contrarias a las que Hugo Chavezrepresenta; se trata simplemente de unaenérgica demanda de respeto por parte deciudadanos del común. Respeto por las in-stituciones democráticas de Venezuela yLatinoamérica, algunas de las cuales sonfuertemente atacadas por Chavez, solo porser contrarias a la suya, y las cuales pretendeinfiltrar con el dinero del petróleo, violando

de ésta forma el principio de no intervenciónen asuntos internos de otros países.

Ya otros líderes, incluyendo al Rey deEspaña, han tenido que decirle en su cara, ymuy a su estilo: “Por qué no te callas”, antela altanería y grosería de Hugo ChávezFrías. Ahora es el turno de los ciudadanos.A marchar el 4 de septiembre!
