Por David FigueroaCónsul General de México

Los Consulados deMéxico en EstadosUnidos cuentan con

un programa denominado Con-sulados Móviles, mismo que sedesarrolla a través de visitas re-alizadas en fines de semana a laslocalidades y principales ciu-dades en zonas alejadas de lasede consular.

formación sobre otros trámites yasistencia jurídica, oportu-nidades de educación y salud, yservicios de protección consular.

Organización de un Con-sulado Móvil

El personal del Consuladose encarga de identificar los lu-gares y locales más adecuadospara ofrecer estos servicios.Nosotros no contamos conunidad móvil sobre ruedas, porlo que la preparación para llevara cabo un consulado móvil re-quiere un esfuerzo especial deplaneación y logística técnica ypresupuestal.

Una semana previa a la re-alización de esta actividad, ustedpodrá escuchar el anuncio enmedios de comunicación masivacomo radio, prensa, televisión ytambién entre diversas organiza-ciones que se encargan de hacerllegar la información a la comu-nidad. Entonces podrá llamar alos teléfonos de MEXITEL(1 877 639 48 35) para obteneruna cita.

Es importante destacar tam-bién que con estas visitas el per-sonal el consulado logra conocermejor las condiciones de vida delos connacionales y obtener másinformación sobre sus necesi-dades y el tipo de atención querequieren.

The San Jose Peace & Justice Center is deeply concerned about the actions of the SanJose Police Officers’ Association in regard to their targeting of activist Raj Jayadev forhis public testimony offered at the San Jose City Council meeting on May 5, 2009. We

are shocked to note the arrogance and hostility of the comments inserted into the video of Mr.Jayadev’s testimony (see http://www.youtube.com/user/SanJosePOA), and fear for the safety ofthis young activist of color as we do for the members of the community at large who are at themercy of an armed and dangerous police force.

We are puzzled at this belligerent response to an established mechanism of democracy suchas Public Comment. Is the SJPD not aware that in a Democracy, members of the public are fullyempowered to question abuse of power by the police? Or does the SJPD not realize that as publicservants, they are in fact always accountable to the public? In this connection, we’d also like tonote Mr. George Beattie’s shocking statements on the SJPOA Web site where Mr.Beattie equatespublic dissent to threats against the SJPD.

We would also like to note that this action by the SJPOA raises important questions about theintegrity of the very process by which members of the public are supposed to hold public servantsaccountable. It seems to us that this video is meant to intimidate, and serve as an example of ret-ribution by the SJPOA, should any individual dare to question the actions of the police. This ishardly conducive to public debate, to say the least, and deserves to be condemned in the strongestterms by all who believe in the role of debate in a Democracy.

We also note with regret that this action by the SJPOA will lead to a further erosion of trustbetween the people of San Jose and the SJPD, in a context where so many questions are alreadybeing raised about SJPD’s abuse of power. Reactions such as this video also lend further credenceto allegations of racist and discriminatory behavior that have been made by members of the African-American, Filipino, Latino, and Vietnamese communities, and many other residents of San Jose.That the video in question has been put on public display by the SJPOA via YouTube, an internetportal through which the video can be circulated to a world wide audience, and in perpetuity, seemsto indicate that these attitudes are not the actions of an isolated few, but in fact represent widelyshared attitudes amongst the members of the SJPOA, surely a cause for concern.

Given the above,We demand: * An immediate apology from the SJPOA to Raj Jayadev and to the people of San Jose fol-

lowed by a detailed explanation by the SJPOA as to the circumstances under which the video wasproduced and circulated.

* An immediate clarification from City Council members Pete Constant and Ash Kalra, whosecomments have been used by the SJPOA in the video, disassociating themselves from the videoand the actions of the SJPOA.

Further, we ask the San Jose City Council * To issue an official motion of Censure against the SJPOA * To strengthen institutions of police accountability, and facilitate public participation in these

initiatives without fear of reprisal by the police* To pursue all means to ensure the safety of Raj Jayadev and members of minority commu-

nities who are all too often victims of a racist and hostile police force.

Anu MandavilliBoard Secretary, San Jose Peace and Justice Center

Why is the SJPOA intimidatingcommunity members?

There was a very high level of anxiety and inse-curity amongst those attending La Raza Round-table’s monthly meeting held on Friday, May 29,

2009. This resulted from all levels of local government andits many representatives present who contributed reportsabout their struggles with the lack of adequate monetary re-sources. Except for Dennis King (Hispanic Chamber ofCommerce, SV), there were no representatives of the busi-ness community, which generates employment, manufac-tures goods, and provides services. There were manyrepresentatives of the education community and those non-profit organizations, whose services to the community willbe curtailed significantly as our elected leaders in Sacra-mento continue to deal with the lack of tax revenues. Thereality being faced by all is that our economy and its busi-nesses are not currently providing the tax revenues (money)in sufficient amounts to permit many societal services nowregarded by local residents as ‘entitlements’ and ‘rights’.

There will be much unrest in our local community be-cause the current monetary resources of many agencies,which depend upon a ‘good economic performance’ by thebusiness community, are simply not being realized today. Itis the business community that generates tax revenues (em-ployment generate salaries resulting in paid income taxes;commerce generate fees and sales taxes). There was no dis-cussion about the possible actions local community mem-bers could undertake to enable increased business activitylevels.

The Honorable Joe Coto (D-Assembly District 23, SanJose) did comment that this is not the time to cut taxes, butrather it is a time to raise taxes on those wealthy personswho could pay an increased level of taxes without a signif-icant negative impact on their present lifestyle and activities.No time was spent developing strategies to identify and electindividuals who would support development of a reasonableand balanced tax policy.

The resolution of the current dilemma lies in a compli-cated mosaic of relationships involving the following: a) the

need for increased consumer activity which buys goods andservices made in USA; b) increased employment; c) in-creased monitoring by government directed to all levels ofthe financial system; d) attention to the needs of all residents;e) curtailment of the ability of special interests to influenceour elected officials; continued development of new busi-ness enterprises, which decrease our nation’s need for for-eign crude oil and most importantly, the continued supportof vocational training and education at the maximum rea-sonable levels.

It is advisable at this point to review one of the mostuseful of psychology’s paradigms: Abraham Mazlow’s hi-erarchy of human needs. This paradigm was first publishedin 1943 following a study of ‘normal’ individuals. One mayaccess a useful summary of Mazlow’s hierarchy of humanneeds at its Wikipedia’s web site.

Those who make public policy need to keep basichuman needs at the forefront of their efforts. Today, Cali-fornia has over 13,000,000 Hispanic residents whose un-employment level is very high (exceeding 12.5%; one ineight residents). These individuals will need the basics ofhuman needs (food, housing, clothing, medical care, voca-tional training, etc). These are the individuals who collec-tively have no voice or representation. All budget cutsimpact this group of residents. This is the urban Latino com-munity whose basic needs must be met if there is to be highlevels of community safety and security coupled with lowlevels of violent criminal activity. This urban Latino com-munity must become assertive (not aggressive) in express-ing their needs to become involved and engagedstakeholders. This Urban Latino Community must becomethe focus of public policy and available resources if civicpeace is to be maintained. Hungry and desperate individualsresort to violence and crime when the need to survive isparamount. Public policy must direct enough of the limitedresources available to ensure public safety and securitywhile doing what is possible to re-establish our domesticeconomy.Δ

SAN JOSE, Calif.- TheSanta Clara Valley WaterDistrict Board of Directors

unanimously passed the $305 millionbudget for fiscal year 2009/2010 anddelivered that with a zero percentgroundwater production charge in-crease. The district budget is $108million less than in FY2008/2009,largely due to completed capital proj-ects, staff reductions, cutbacks, repri-oritizations and consolidations.

Like all government agencies,the water district is impacted by theworst recession since the 1930’s.However, careful strategic and finan-cial planning has enabled the waterdistrict to effectively address thechallenges of the recession, tighten-ing credit, rising expenses and declin-ing revenues while still maintaininghigh service levels and critical infra-structure.

The water district is demonstrat-ing its commitment to fiscal respon-sibility and accountability throughincreased efficiencies and cost sav-ings, cutting approximately $24.5million from planned expendituresfor FY 2009-10. Strategies employedin achieving the reductions include,but are not limited to:

* Reprioritization of work andrepositioning of staff to address crit-ical needs

* Elimination or delay of lower-priority projects

* Elimination of 29 vacant posi-tions, in addition to 28 positions fromFY 2008-09

* Consolidation of services andfunctions

* Cuts in temporary staff, over-time and non-mandatory training

* Cuts in services and supplies,including operating equipment pur-chases and travel

* Reduction of 25 fleet vehicles,replacing some with hybrids for fuelefficiency

* Postponing planned computerupgrade schedules

“Los policías están asignados a darseguridad, a dar confianza a su comu-

nidad, sin embargo intimidar la voz desus ciudadanos es vergonzoso”, dijoBryan Helmle.

Un promedio de 30 personas sedieron cita en la audiencia pública conel Concilio de la Ciudad el pasado 2de junio para que ellos como autoridadexijan a la Asociación de Policías deSan José (SJPOA) se disculpe por di-fundir un video intimidatorio del peri-odista y activista comunitario deSilicon Valley De-Bug Raj Jayadev.

En un video difundido por la inter-net la Asociación de Policías de San

José cuestiona, intimida y en tonoirónico trata de burlar la participacióndel joven Jayadev y lo considera comouna amenaza a la comunidad.

“Raj Jayadev muestra una imagensombría de la desconfianza entre lacomunidad y de la SJPD” cita el videopreparado por la asociación policial yusando imágenes tomadas de una au-diencia pública en el Concilio comouna amenaza.

“¿Hablar es una amenaza? ¿Salira protestar porque oficiales armados

comenten abuso a sus residentes?¿Cuánto más debemos esperar parasaber la verdad?” dijo Liz González

Adicional a estas amenazas elVice Presidente George Beattie cita ensu sitio de internet que la protesta del5 de Mayo en las afueras del munici-pio fueron anti policiales y tambiénrepresentaban un peligro mayor.

En la protesta realizada por la or-ganización ¡BASTA! el pasado 5 demayo habían padres de familias, niñosy ancianos abogando por sus dere-chos.

“Necesitamos proteger estos espa-cios democráticos. Va a tomar un ver-dadero valor político que los oficialeselectos de nuestra ciudad se enfrentena la SJPOA. Dado lo que ha ocurridonecesitamos una liderazgo auténticoporque de otra manera vamos a sen-tirnos amenazados y siempre en peli-gro. Estamos en retroceso en términosde confianza con el departamentopolicial”, dijo Raj Jayadev a EO. Δ

For the first time, La Raza RoundTable agenda listed the membershipof its Executive Board. Although

Victor Garza is listed as the chair, he is in factthe co-chair with Raul Coalunga. The LRRTagenda lists the other Executive Committeemembers as being Rose Amador, Chris Arriola,Sal Alvarez, Jennie Meehan, Herman Vasquez,Silvia Alvarez and Paul Guerrero.

Co-Chairman Victor Garza has a five-hourround trip commute from Fresno; it is gratify-ing that Raul Colunga, a resident of San Jose,has assumed the co-chairmanship of this organ-ization.

When Alfredo Villasenor made his NationalCoalition of La Raza committee report, whichprimarily was about a letter about the Independ-

ent Police Auditor hiring process, Co-ChairGarza attempted to reduce his presentationtime. The letter addressed to the San Jose CityCouncil and Mayor Reed regarding the Inde-pendent Police Auditor Hiring Process wasmade available to all. It “applauded the direc-tion to re-start the (IPA) hiring process.” It rec-ommended not using a consultant whoseexpertise is hiring law enforcement personnel(which is not police activity monitoring); and itrecommended the inclusion of more local con-cerned residents in this renewed IPA hiringprocess. Finally, and most impressively, a totalof 55 concerned City of San Jose resident citi-zens signed this letter. It is very impressive andindicative that this community is very con-cerned and involved in having the next IPA ap-propriately selected and accountable only to theMayor and the City Council who have appoint-ment authority.

Santa Clara and San Jose, CA - OnWednesday, June 3, janitors, supporters,and religious leaders from the San Jose

Interfaith Council on Race, Religion, Economic &Social Justice will gathered at Our Lady of PeaceCatholic Church for a consecration ceremony tolaunch a week-long hunger fast protesting high-tech company Cisco Systems. In spite of the com-pany’s profitability, including more than $34billion in cash assets and an $11 million CEO pay-package, Cisco’s contractor ABM recently laid offmore than 40% of the total janitorial workforce atits headquarters in San Jose.

“The San Jose faith community is participating

in this hunger fast to protest the injustice of CiscoSystems laying off so many vulnerable, low-in-

come service workers,” said Reverend RebeccaKuiken, Director of the Interfaith Council on Race,Religion, Economic & Social Justice. “We have amoral responsibility to support these workers, andto change the hearts and minds of Cisco manage-ment.”

Every day during the week of June 3 and June9, dozens of janitors and community supporters in-cluding San Jose faith leaders will fast, drinkingonly water, outside of Cisco’s corporate headquar-ters in San Jose. New participants will join the fasteach day at 1pm, when a religious leader from theInterfaith Council will conduct a ceremony bless-ing them.

The fast comes after a series of mobilizationsthe janitors have held over the last several monthscalling on Cisco to live up to its claims of “corpo-rate social responsibility” by reinstating the laid-off janitors and committing to providing decentpay, affordable health care, and family-supportingjobs to all of its contracted service workers. Theseprotests have included several mobilizations atCisco headquarters, an ongoing 24-hour protestcamp outside of the headquarters since May 1, aprotest at Stanford University, and appeals to Ciscodecision-makers, San Jose City Council members,and other elected officials.

“Cisco is a rich company, and they laid us offfor no reason,” said Guadalupe Antolin, one of themore than 75 janitors who were laid-off. “That iswhy I’m fasting.”

LA RAZA ROUNDTABLEREPORT

Janitors, Community Supportersto launch 7-Day Hunger FastProtesting Cisco Systems The telephone may be an accepted

part of life in the 21st century, butnot for an estimated three million

Californians. Most of us take using the tele-phone for granted. But if you have difficultyhearing, seeing, speaking, moving, or remem-bering, what seems to be a simple telephonecall can be challenging to many-preventingcommunication with family, friends, and oth-ers.

The same telecommunications technologythat fuels never-ending innovation has pro-duced a wealth of specialized phones and de-vices so people with disabilities cancommunicate with family and friends. The Deafand Disabled Telecommunications Program(DDTP) provides these phones at no charge toeligible Californians.

DDTP distributes telecommunicationsequipment and services that improve commu-nication for all Californians. A program of theCalifornia Public Utilities Commission(CPUC), the DDTP provides Californians withspecialized telephone equipment and relayservices through the California Telephone Ac-cess Program (CTAP) and California RelayService (CRS), respectively. CTAP providesspecialized phones that amplify sound, adjusttone, light up for incoming calls, display phoneconversation as text, have large buttons withraised numbers, are portable, or have speed dialphone buttons incorporating photographs.CTAP offers approximately 60 types of special-

ized phones and devices, so all Californians cancommunicate their own way.

CRS provides specially trained Relay Op-erators and Communication Assistants to relaytelephone conversations between people whoare deaf, hard of hearing, or are speech-disabledwith those they wish to communicate with bytelephone. CRS, captioned telephone, andSpeech-to-Speech relay services are all offeredin English and Spanish.

California residents are eligible for special-ized equipment if they have phone service andare certified by a licensed physician, medicaldoctor, or audiologist. There is no cost, obliga-tion, age, or income requirement.

Once an individual qualifies for a special-ized telephone, they can call 1-800-806-1191or go into one of CTAP’s Service Centersthroughout California to determine the most ap-propriate device for their requirements. CTAPstaff will demonstrate phone features, recom-mend the phone that best fits a client’s needs,and provide training on how to use and person-alize the phone.

DDTP is funded by a small surcharge thatappears on all Californians’ telephone bills. Themoney collected pays for both CTAP and CRS.This surcharge appears on phone bills as “CARelay Service and Communications DevicesFund.” For more information or to downloadan application, visit www.ddtp.org or call 1-800-806-1191.

La página web sobre Sotomayor, quien re-aliza este miércoles una segunda ronda de vis-itas privadas al Congreso, previas a suaudiencia de confirmación, en fecha aún pordefinir, ofrece información sobre sus an-tecedentes, educación y logros.

“El sitio www.Sotomayorforjustice.comservirá como un vehículo para movilizar apoyoa la confirmación de Sotomayor”, señalóMALDEF, la cual trabaja junto con otras orga-nizaciones de defensa de hispanos a favor de lajueza de origen puertorriqueño.

MALDEF señaló que el sitio buscará

además “confrontar los injustos ataques contrasu historial y calificaciones”, luego que varioscomentaristas conservadores sugirieron que So-tomayor era una especie de “racista” invertida,por apoyar a las minorías raciales.

Newt Gingrich, el ex presidente republi-cano de la Cámara de Representantes, se re-tractó este miércoles de un comentario en el quetildó a Sotomayor de racista, aunque insistió enque le preocupaban algunos de los fallos de lajueza.

On Wednesday, Governor Schwarzenegger addressed members of the California Leg-islature and discussed the progress that has been made to solve California’s financialcrisis.

“Three months ago, the members of this body came together, set aside their ideological dif-ferences and did what they believed was best for California,” Governor Schwarzenegger said. “Wesolved $36 billion of a $42 billion deficit.”

But as required by law, the budget agreement has to go back to the people of California forapproval.

The state and the country are in of the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression,according to Schwarzenegger.

“In the past 18 months one-third of the world’s wealth has vanished,” Schwarzenegger said.“And because of that and because of California’s outdated and volatile tax system, our revenueshave dropped 27 percent from last year.”

In order to deal with the limited amount of money California has, Governor Schwarzeneggerhas proposed some dramatic changes to his May Revision.

“The immediate task before us is to cut spending to the money available,” Schwarzeneggersaid. “We have no time to waste.”

Schwarzenegger said he has already used his executive authority to reduce the state’s payroll,and has proposed the necessary cuts to the three largest areas of our budget: education, health careand prisons.

“I know the consequences of these cuts are not just dollars,” he said. “I see the children whoseteacher will be laid-off, I see the Alzheimer’s’ patients losing some of their In-Home Support Serv-ices, I see the firefighters and police officers who will lose their jobs. It’s an awful feeling, but wehave no choice.

However, the governor said that this budget proposal was not only about cuts.“There are also some great opportunities for structural reform,” he said. “For example, I have

asked our State Board of Education to make textbooks available in digital formats. We expect thefirst science and math books to be digital by this fall. If we expand this to more textbooks, schoolscould save hundreds of millions of dollars a year.”

Schwarzenegger continued by saying that hundreds of millions of dollars will be saved andcould be used to hire teachers and reduce class sizes.

Other ways the governor wants to cut the deficit is by reducing the money spent on inmates,eliminating more than a dozen state departments, boards and commissions, and to sell off stateproperty,

“There is no doubt that the challenges before us are enormous. They will test our will, our re-solve and our leadership,” Schwarzenegger said. “I have faith in our ability to once again cometogether for the good of our state. Let’s move forward and put California back on the path to pros-perity.”_

Local community leaders of all sorts of back-grounds, have joined forces with other leadersacross the country to form Reform Immigra-

tion for America, an effort to introduce immigration re-form to the Obama Administration. They held a pressconference on Monday, to outline their reasons as to whyimmigration reform is important to the United States.

“Realistically, now is the time to fight for immigra-tion reform because there are not major elections, likethe presidential election, occurring this year,” said FatherJon Pedigo of the Catholic Campaign for ImmigrationReform. “If we continue to wait, then people’s mentalityon this issue will change.”

Richard Hobbs, Interim Executive Director of theServices, Immigrant Rights, and Education Network(SIREN) also believes immigration reform is needed inthe United States.

“The path to unity and the path to prosperity in Sili-con Valley and in the United States depends on sensibleimmigration reform,” Hobbs said, “This is an issue thataffects us all.”

Reform Immigration for America has a set of prin-ciples, which promotes economic opportunity, is morecomprehensive, has long-term solutions, and provides arational and humane approach to the undocumented pop-ulation.

Dennis King, Executive Director for the HispanicChamber of Commerce and supporter of immigration re-form, believes that the work of immigrantes and theircontributions to society is under-appreciated by someAmericans.

“At restaurants, who cooks, serves the food, and

cleans the dishes? Immigrants do,” King said. “Everytime you have a glass of milk, think of it as a toast to thehard work that immigrants do.”

Reform Immigration for America also wants to keepfamilies together.

According to the organization, current immigrationlaws keep families separate for decades. The organiza-tion also believes that those stuck in endless “backlogs”should have their admission expedited.

Marcine Seid, a member of the Silicon Valley Chap-ter of the American Immigration Lawyers Associationsaid she has seen what families go through when theyare separated first hand.

“I have seen the hardships that separation has onfamilies and businesses,” Seid said. “Families are some-times separated for a decade and some of our best work-ers are immigrants who have to leave the countrybecause they want to be with families.”

The Campaign to Reform Immigration For Americais a united national effort that brings together individualsand more than 350 national, regional, and local organi-zations representing business, labor, faith, education andcommunity with the mission to build enabling supportfor the passage of workable comprehensive immigrationreform legislation by Congress.

The organizations have set-up a network for thosewho want to receive the latest information on immigra-tion reform. People can send a text message to 69866 toreceive that information.

“If the people want the information in Spanish, theycan text ‘Justicia’,” said SIREN member Cesar Juarez.“If they want it in English, they can text ‘Justice’ to thenumber.” Δ

La prosperidad de Silicon Valley depende de la reforma migratoria sensata paraAmérica

De otro lado Dennis King, representante de la Cámara Hispana de Comercio, dijo“Nuestras empresas, nuestras familias y nuestros trabajadores están siendo afectados hoymás que nunca. Si queremos tener éxito en la capital de la innovación del mundo, congrandes esperanzas y calidad de vida para satisfacer las necesidades humanas básicasde todos, tenemos que conseguir una reforma de inmigración para Estados Unidos. Deje-mos de disimular que no sabemos que la fuerza laboral está en los inmigrantes que em-pacan, que trabajan en restaurantes, que hacen la limpieza y hacen todo tipo de trabajoque otros no quieren hacer”.

Por su parte los líderes locales entre ellos Concejal Ash Kalra y Kensen Chu dijeronque para la recuperación de la economía es importante la unidad familiar.

La Reforma Migratoria para América ofrece soluciones reales a los problemas que en-frenta el Silicon Valley, como la reunificación familiar un verdadero ajuste de nuestro paíscon las necesidades de mano de obra inmigrante con visas, legalización real para las de-cenas de miles de familias que viven bajo las sombras de la esperanza en el Condado deSanta Clara.

La campaña nacional combina los esfuerzos de individuos y organizaciones comuni-tarias para luchar por una reforma migratoria integral viable. Se busca crear una red de per-sonas de todo el país que estén listas para trabajar y obtener los 279 votos requeridos paraaprobar una reforma migratoria integral justa y humanitaria: 218 votos en la Cámara deRepresentantes, 60 en el Senado, y la firma del Presidente.∆

REFORMA MIGRATORIA ES AHORA O NUNCA


Por Rosario Vital -El Observador

Cientos de trabajadores y residentes de la ciudad se dieron cita a su hora de al-muerzo para protestar en contra de los recortes que hará la Ciudad de San Josédebido a la dura crisis que viene enfrentando California y que ahora afecta a

trabajadores.En un hecho sin precedentes, por primera vez en la historia de San José empleados de

la ciudad salieron a protestar por los recortes que va a hacer la ciudad y posiblemente anun-ciar el próximo 15 de junio en una audiencia pública. Miembros de los sindicatos pidieronal Alcalde y Concilio de la Ciudad adoptar las recomendaciones que podría ahorrar a la ciu-dad más de 11 millones con un gran porción que viene de las concesiones de los sindicatosde trabajo. Sin embargo la ciudad se ha rehusado a aceptar el sacrificio que sus empleadoshan propuesto.

La Alianza de Trabajo de la Ciudad (CLA) convocó a esta manifestación para expresarsu oposición a la propuesta de recorte de servicios y despidos que ha propuesto el Conciliode la Ciudad.

Los trabajadaores exigen al Alcalde Chuck Reed y al Concilio de la Ciudad apoyar lasrecomendacicones propuestas para el presupuesto local elaborada por el Grupo ComunitarioLaboral de Presupuesto, Sociedad de Trabajo y la Alianza de Trabajo de la Ciudad.

“Nos unimos por tres razones fundamentales, primero para dar a conocer que nuestraciudad está enfrentando un déficit de presupuesto significante. Segundo para pedir que losConcejales apoyen a los ciudadanos y empleados y encuentren las alternativas de 11 millones de dólares en recortes propuestos. Tercero para demostrar que nosotros los empleadosde San Jose estamos comprometidos a encontrar soluciones para cerrar la brecha de déficitque enfrenta nuestra ciudad. Estamos comprometidos a minimizar el impacto negativo delos servicios de la ciudad para nuestra comunidad y proteger nuestros sindicatos”, dijoYolanda Cruz de la Federación Municipal de Empleados.

“Hemos hecho sacrificios en el pasado. Estamos dispuestos a hacer ajustes adicionalesen los contratos para salvar a nuestros servicios de vital importancia, pero no vamos a per-mitir que el personal sea sacado asi no más”, dijo Daniel Finn del Sindicato de IngenierosOperarios, Local 3.

Por su parte la Presidenta del Concilio Laboral en San José, Cindy Chavez afirmó quelos trabajadores deben mantener la unidad para seguir en la lucha. “ Es momento que elAlcalde y el Concilio analicen estas preocupaciones y busquen una posible opción de minimizar el impacto de estos recortes y despidos, mientras tanto juntos podemos hacer mejor”,dijo Chávez.

A la demostración el Concejal Pierluigi Oliverio sostuvo que era imposible evitar esteproblema. “Estamos en un momento crítico y no podemos salvarnos”, dijo el Concejal entregritos y cuestionamientos.

El Alcalde de San José tiene que tomar una decisión en estos momentos de crisis después de siete años consecutivos de déficit presupuestario. La Administradora de la Ciudadha dado un presupuesto que podría resultar en más de 150 despidos. Continúan negocia-ciones.

Mental illness can affect people in avariety of ways. It could affectthem at work and in their personal

lives.Greg Wylde is one of these people.“I suffer from chronic depression and had to

be put in confinement because I was a threat topeople around me as well as a threat to myself,”Wylde said. “I was an educated man but my dis-ease caused me to lose everything. I was evenhomeless.”

Fortunately for Wylde, he was able to seekhelp for his disease and is now back on his feet.

He is now a member of Stamp Out Stigma, anon-profit organization dedicated to dispellingmyths and stereotypes regarding mental illness.

“I owe a lot to this organization,” Wyldesaid. “We want to be able to put a human face onmental illness.”

Wylde was one of four people, who sufferfrom mental illness, to share their story on Thurs-day, May 28 at the Campbell Community Center.Campbell Councilmember Dan Furtado put theevent together.

“There is a lot of misunderstanding through-out society regarding mental illness,” Furtadosaid. “We are here because we want to provideinformation about mental illness to the county.”

Also at the event was the National Alliancefor the Mentally Ill. The organization offered in-formation on how to deal and get past mental ill-ness.

The National Alliance for the Mentally Illoffers a 12-week Family-to-Family Education

Program. The program is for families of individ-uals with severe brain disorders. The course is

taught by trained family members and is at nocost.

According to the National Alliance for theMentally Ill, the curriculum focuses on schizo-phrenia, bipolar disease (manic depression), clin-ical depression, panic disorder andobsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The

course discusses the clinical treatment of theseillnesses and teaches the knowledge and skillsthat family members need to cope more effec-tively.

Children are also affected by mental illness.Nancy Pena, PhD., Director, Mental Health De-partment of Santa Clara Valley Health and Hos-pital System, said the county is working hard tohelp kids who are affected by the disease.

“Stigma can strike at any time during one’slifetime,” Pena said. “We need to find ways tohumanize stigma not dehumanize it.”

Fighting Mental Illness

The Santa Clara County PublicHealth Department reported 34additional probable cases of the

new flu virus (H1N1). The current total forSanta Clara County is now 44 confirmedcases and 35 probable cases for a total of79 cases in the county. Four of these caseswere hospitalized and have either recov-ered or are recovering at home.

The number of confirmed cases in-creased because confirmatory testing tookplace at the state and federal levels. TheSanta Clara County Public Health Depart-ment will continue to consider all probablecases as confirmed H1N1 cases becausepublic health actions do not change basedon whether a case is probable or confirmed.Over 95% of the specimens classified asprobable have been confirmed as the newH1N1 virus.

Influenza is always a serious disease.Each year in the United States, seasonal in-fluenza causes about 36,000 deaths andmore than 200,000 hospitalizations. At thistime, health officials do not know how se-vere this new flu virus (H1N1) outbreakwill be in terms of illness and death com-pared with other influenza viruses. It’s toosoon to predict what will happen or how thevirus might change, but this outbreak hasthe potential to be at least as, and possiblymore, serious than seasonal flu.

The Public Health Department will re-port individual cases for as long as possi-ble, and then will use a seasonalsurveillance system to track the progress ofthe H1N1 flu virus. Routine seasonal sur-veillance does not count individual cases,but instead monitors activity levels througha local surveillance system based in mostof the Emergency Departments of hospitalsin our community.

Information about the new flu virus,H1N1, is also available on the CaliforniaDepartment of Public Health’s toll-free hot-line at 1-888-865-0564 (Monday - Fridayfrom 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday/Sundayfrom 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.).

En estos tiempos de recortes y cierres deprogramas educativos organizar actosinfantiles para fomentar la lectura

parece algo de otro mundo. Sin embargo, ahorasegún los expertos es más que importante fomentarla lectura infantil. Un estudio elaborado el añopasado por la editorial Scholastic determinó quelos niños leen cada vez más por obligación ymenos por diversión. De hecho, el 22 por cientode los niños asegura no leen nada o casi nada porsí solos.

En la escuela elemental bilingüe River Glende San José, la lectura se toma muy en serio y cadaaño se buscan eventos que fomenten el amor porlos libros entre los estudiantes de Kinder a octavogrado. Para ello, recientemente recaudaron fondoscon la ayuda de los padres e invitaron a la artista yreconocida autora e ilustradora de libros infantilesMaya González.

Cargada de libros, historias y con una person-alidad arrolladora, la autora explicó a más de 300niños de la escuela la importancia de los libros, decrear y reafirmó la idea de que “cualquiera puedeser un artista”. González, que escribe e ilustra li-bros infantiles bilingües, enseñó a los niños du-rante varios talles algunas de sus obras y a colorearcon pasteles, unas barras de colores parecidas a los

crayones pero que se pueden extender con losdedos.

“Lo que más me gusta de crear libros infan-tiles es poder ver mi cara y la de mi hija en ellos¨,destacó esta artista, hija de alemana y mexicano yque creció en el desierto de Mojave. González re-conoce que cuando era niña le gustaba mucho leery ver cuentos, pero que en ninguno encontraba ̈ micara redonda y mis rasgos¨.

¨Para mí ilustrar libros significa poner nuestrascaras en los libros, además de enseñar nuestromundo y la manera de ver las cosas como latinos¨,explicó la autora, ferviente defensora de la influ-encia cultural latina en Estados Unidos.

Pero la artista no solo habló de su experienciasi no que puso a los niños a pintar un autorretratode Frida Kahlo. Andrew, de Tercer Grado, la col-oreó como un diablo, y Michael quedó fascinadocon las pinturas pastel “es la primera vez que pintocon ellas, me gustan mucho”, explicó.

Al final del día los alumnos aprendieron quelos autores de los libros son de carne y hueso y quecualquiera de ellos puede ser una artista en el fu-turo, mientras tanto tendrán que seguir leyendo.

Artista latina inspira estudiantes de San José

Washington, D.C. -La ComisiónFederal de Comunicaciones(FCC por sus siglas en inglés)

ha ofrecido centros de atención, mensajes poraire, ayuda por vía telefónica y respuestas en elciberespacio para los consumidores que aún re-quieren ayuda en su preparación para el cam-bio.

El nivel de preparación ha aumentado con-stantemente desde febrero, cuando el Congresopospuso la transición a la televisión digital(DTV por sus siglas en inglés). La proporciónde familias del país aún no preparadas se ha re-ducido en casi un 50 por ciento en los últimosseis meses, según datos de la empresa Nielsen.Mientras que en enero se estimaba que el 5.7por ciento de los hogares de Estados Unidos noestaban preparados para la transición a la DTV,la cifra ha bajado ahora al 2.7 por ciento. Sinembargo, este 2.7 por ciento representa cercade 3.1 millones de hogares del país que estánen riesgo de perder la televisión gratuita trans-mitida por aire, si no hacen lo necesario antesdel 12 de junio.

Entre los programas más notables empren-didos por la FCC está la provisión de servicios

de instalación en casa de las cajas convertidoraspara más de 200,000 familias, a través de con-tratistas independientes, además de la propor-cionada por miembros de la sociedad civil(National Civilian Community Corps, deAmeriCorps) y por los bomberos, con la coop-eración de la Asociación Internacional de Jefesde Bomberos. Estos servicios para la insta-lación en casa no tienen ningún costo para elconsumidor.

Para aprovechar estos servicios, el consum-idor sólo tiene que llamar al 1-888-CALL-FCCo visitar www.dtv.gov/Spanish/. Entre los mu-chos recursos de Internet está el excelente fol-leto de Consumers Union,

El cambio al sistema digital beneficiará a lamayoría de los televidentes con un mejorsonido, una mejor imagen y una mayor var-iedad de canales y de programas. La transiciónayudará también a salvar vidas, al liberar lasondas aéreas para permitir una mejor comuni-cación por radio a los servicios de emergencia,y liberará espacio para el futuro, al despejar lasondas aéreas para servicios avanzados de Inter-net móvil.

México, (Notimex).- El multifacético Clint Eastwood,ganador en los premios Oscar por sus películas “Milliondollar Baby” y “Sin perdón”, festejó su cumpleaños

número 79 con la película “The human factor”, cuyo estreno está pre-visto para finales de este año.

El cineasta graba el filme basado en el libro de John Carlin “Thehuman factor: Nelson Mandela and the game that changed the world”(El factor humano: Nelson Mandela y el partido que cambió el mundo),que relata la importancia que tuvo el mundial de rugby celebrado enSudáfrica en 1995, cuando el premio Nobel de la Paz era presidente.

Según la crítica, el proyecto ha generado altas expectativas y yahay quienes especulan que sería una carta segura para los Oscar en2010. Clint, nominado este año a los Premios Bafta como Mejor Di-rector, por “Changeling”, película que también recibió una nominaciónpor Mejor Banda Sonora en los Premios Globo, donde también su filme“Gran Torino” recibió una postulación a Mejor Canción Original, nacióen San Francisco, California, el 31 de mayo de 1930.
