OPINIONDECEMBER 12 -18, 2014

Like many, I have witnessed the plight of the homeless from a distance. The current effort to ‘clean out THE JUN-GLE by SCVWD, County and City of San Jose authorities is reasonably based upon a concern to minimize the pol-lution of Coyote Creek. I am aware that the prior homeless encampment in the Guada-lupe Park, visible from the corporate offices in high rise buildings was also ‘relocated’ in the past. It is time to realize that our very accomplished community is trying to deal with a socio-economic situa-tion which will always be with us. Any society and economy always possesses ‘the home-less poor’ who are down in their luck or simply do not want to live as the rest of us do.

As a current member of the Behavioral Health Board, County of Santa Clara, I have

become aware that many personal mental health chal-lenges are mitigated by hav-ing ‘a home’ which provides warmth, security and a sense of belonging. Mazlow’s Hi-erarchy of Needs aptly de-scribes the basic needs of a human being. It seems to me that our Silicon Valley community needs to address its ‘Homeless Individuals’ of which some 8,000+ exist in our population of 1.8 milliion. This amounts to 0.44% of the residents of this community. The Homeless are mobile, but have no place to go to......and that is the major challenge which must be resolved in order to enable reliable com-munication with these home-less individuals. There is the observation that some 1,500 are chronically homeless and desire to live at that level. The balance of 6,500 can be divid-ed into two cohorts: 1) those that are temporarily down on their luck and wish to climb out, but need some assis-tance. And, 2) those who will never be employable because of a variety of personal issues (substance abuse; mental health challenges, being to-tally out of sync with their reality, etc.). It is these that may be successfully assisted

if ways can be devised to be able to reliably communicate with them for the purpose of: a) full personal assessment to determine skill levels, educa-tion levels, medical and men-tal health early detection and intervention assessments, etc. But, basic to all is the need to feed, house, and provide a ba-sic level of security and com-fort.

Let’s address the need to pro-vide ‘a place the homeless can go to’.....The traditional ap-proach is to provide shelters and permanent traditional af-fordable housing. Both are al-ways in short supply because of the current economic mar-ket forces which eliminates any inventory of affordable housing or shelter. Several challenges exist in getting lo-cal jurisdictions to make their resources available and to suspend certain ‘man-made’ obstacles and attitudes such as NIMBY and zoning land use ordinances and building codes.

Let me suggst the following multi-jurisdictional effort: Would it be possible for the County of Santa Clara to des-ignate certain county owned properites for development

as ‘homeless encampments’ wherein the traditional build-ing and zoning codes are suspended for the present. A parcel of land can be identi-fied, equiped with a source of potable water, a dempster dumpster (for waste dispos-al), porta-potties (or, better yet, toilet/shower facilities), and, most importantly, a bat-tery of postal boxes (to pro-vide a permanent address). One such ‘endorsed encamp-ment’ could be located in South County (Gilroy, Mor-gan Hill, and San Martin areas); in South San Jose, in Guadalupe River Park and in North County. An ‘reluctantly approved/endorsed home-less encampment’ with some permanent features would provide and enable a home-less person to know where to go. All agencies involved with counseling, medical and men-tal health care, social services, etc. would be able to make contact with their homeless clients on a regular basis. Let’s consider the use of ‘Disaster Shelters’ such as those used in Haiti to cope with their loss of shelters due to their severe earthquake. Each costs about $900 and are easily set up....but these emergency shelters do not comply with many

building codes. Could we fig-ure out a way to have a pilot trial of these disaster shelters? Enough of them could be-come available within a year.

The greatest need is for the coordination, collaboration and effective communication between the various jurisdic-tions and agencies involved. Most important is to stop passing ordinances which criminalize the homeless and give each of them another challenge to cope. Another challenge is for all of us to ac-cept that the local homeless cohort is in continual change because some successfully are assisted and go on with be-coming capable self-relaiant individuals while ‘new ones’ become homeless and be-come new members of that 8,000+ homeless cohort. All of us need to make an effort to view the homeless as a group of individuals who need to ex-perience some human com-passion and understanding which is accompanied with needed assistance. Many of the homeless do want to rise above their current social and economic situation. This is especially true of homeless mothers with kids.

Those whose job is to as-sist the homeless would be more effective and successful if all jurisdictions made an concerted effort to create a number of ‘endorsed home-less encampments’ where all feel secure and welcome. The continual relocation of the homeless creates many chal-lenges for those who want to help them. Let’s help them help themselves by provid-ing a hand up rather than a ‘hand out’ and by realizing that some do not want to be helped...but our society needs to provide them the space in which to live. And all that is possible if we could bend a few rules and directly deal with their needs rather that the conflicting actions which adds to their collective plight. In this Silicon Val-ley society, with all its wealth and resources, a steady state equilibrium can be achieved, but know that the homeless will always be with us. Let’s try to establish a few perma-nent homeless encampments in the county. Let’s deal with our biased NIMBY approach directly so that we can deal with the homeless effectively and humanely.

No es de extrañarse que, luego de la acción ejecutiva en inmigración, empiecen a escucharse las denuncias por abusos e intentos de estafa. Por eso es indispensable, que si usted –o alguien que con-oce- es una de las personas que puede beneficiarse con el nuevo orden establecido por el presidente Barack Obama, en términos de inmigración piense muy bien, calcule y avance muy cuidadosamente.

Para eso es de vital impor-tancia saber qué es exacta-mente lo que está sobre la mesa y entender, que aún ninguna de las iniciativas se ha empezado a implemen-tar. Pero vamos por partes.

Lo primero que tenemos que saber es qué fue lo que hizo el presidente.

El 20 de noviembre de 2014, Obama anunció una serie de acciones, conocidas como acciones ejecutivas por venir de él, que incluyen: priorizar la deportación de crimina-les, permitir que ciertos in-migrantes sin antecedentes penales puedan permanecer y trabajar en Estados Unidos sin temor a ser deportados, ampliar la población elegible para el programa de Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA, por sus siglas en inglés) que beneficia a jóvenes que llegaron a este país antes de cumplir los 16 años de edad y que ya estaban aquí el 1 de enero de 2010 o antes.

La acción ejecutiva beneficia además a los padres de ciu-dadanos estadounidenses y de residentes permanentes le-gales que ya estaban en el país el 1 de enero de 2010 y amplía el uso de las exenciones provi-sionales por presencia ilegal para incluir a los cónyuges e hijos de los residentes perma-nentes legales y a los hijos de ciudadanos estadounidenses.

Es en este último ítem donde se espera el gran grueso de beneficiados, pero, los pro-gramas se empezarán a apli-car escalonadamente. Aun no existen formularios ni solici-tudes ni es posible que nadie se haya beneficiado aun con las medidas. A este momento el Servicio de Inmigración y Ciudadanía de Estados Uni-dos –USCIS- entidad encar-

gada de lidiar con su situación migratoria, no ha empezado a recibir peticiones.

Es decir que si alguien le su-giere que así es, está tratando de timarlo o de sacarle dine-ro. Esté alerta si no quiere convertirse en víctima de una estafa migratoria que además de dejarlo sin dinero puede afectar seriamente su proceso, cualquiera que ese sea.

Este atento a las noticias lo-cales de su área y compruebe si puede recibir asesoría de parte de su consulado. Ex-isten muchas organizaciones comunitarias que apoyan a los inmigrantes en todo el país, búsquelas. No tome decisiones apresuradas. Pu-ede estar poniendo en riesgo mucho más de lo que cree.

When it comes to assessing the institutional benefits derived from school voucher programs, opportunities for financial sav-ings stand out.

That is one of the key findings of a recent study published by the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice. It found that school vouchers that help pay for private school tuition for students who transferred from their local public school saved states and districts more than $1.7 billion over a 20-year period.

The study covers the costs as-sociated with 10 school voucher programs in Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, D.C., Utah, Georgia and Louisiana from 1990-91, the first year of the historic Mil-waukee Parental Choice Pro-gram, through 2010-11.

During that same time frame, participation in those school voucher programs grew from 300 students to nearly 70,000, an increase of over 230 times.

Relevant RelationshipsAccording to the study’s author, Jeff Spalding, the most relevant relationship to examine when calculating the fiscal impact of school choice is the difference between (1) the amount of fi-nancial assistance (the voucher amount) provided to partici-pants and (2) the current cost of

educating those students in the public school system. Spalding finds that if the average voucher amount is less than the average per-student educational cost, a savings is realized for those students who use a voucher to leave a public school to enroll in a private school.

Part Of The Policy Toolkit“As policymakers consider ways to balance their state budgets in 2015, school vouchers absolute-ly must be a part of their tool-kits,” said Robert Enlow, presi-dent and CEO of the Friedman Foundation. “Parents are al-ready demanding school choice. Taxpayers should be, too.”

“The benefit of school vouchers is that they create great savings, but we don’t always know what

happens to the money,” Enlow said. “Lawmakers need to de-vise systems to track the savings from school choice more closely to find out how the money is be-ing used.”

Spalding’s report, “The School Voucher Audit: Do Publicly Funded Private School Choice Programs Save Money?,” can be downloaded at edchoice.org/SchoolVoucherAudit.

The Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice promotes school choice as the most effec-tive and equitable way to im-prove the quality of K-12 educa-tion in America.

HISPANIC PR WIRE

En la Cumbre de la Casa Blanca sobre Educación Tem-prana celebrada el miércoles, el presidente Barack Obama apeló a líderes empresarios, filántropos, defensores, funcio-narios electos y miembros del público para que inviertan en la expansión de oportunidades en la primera infancia para ni-ños de todo el país, a través de Invest in US, una campaña de concienciación pública lanzada en sociedad con el First Five Years Fund (Fondo para los Primeros Cinco Años) y sus so-cios filantrópicos.

Docenas de corporaciones, fundaciones e individuos han acordado ya dedicar un mayor porcentaje permanente de su actividad filantrópica a am-pliar programas e investigación para la primera infancia de alta calidad, como estrategia para alcanzar mejores resultados educativos, sanitarios, sociales y económicos, con compromisos que actualmente suman más de $333 millones. El presidente Obama además anunció más de $750 millones en fondos federales a través de Subsidios

para Desarrollo Preescolar y Asociaciones para Inicio Pre-coz-Atención Infantil (Early Head Start-Child Care, EHS-CC), lo que hace un total de más de $1,000 millones en inversio-nes cruciales en educación para la primera infancia anunciadas hoy.

Neurocientíficos, educado-res, economistas y expertos en salud pública concuerdan en que los cimientos para el éxito comienzan durante el embara-zo y se construyen hasta los 5 años, antes de que muchos ni-ños ingresen a la escolarización formal K-12. Quienes se com-prometen en Invest in US están construyendo un país mejor al ayudar a crear programas que forman niños fuertes.

“Estos campeones de la edu-cación de la primera infancia contribuyen a nuevos esfuerzos en todo el país que brindarán a más niños una oportunidad crucial para el éxito en la escuela y en la vida”, dice Kris Perry, di-rectora ejecutiva del First Five Years Fund, socio fundador de la campaña. “Pero todavía hay demasiados niños en Estados Unidos que ingresan a la es-cuela sin estar preparados para aprender, lo que incluye más de la mitad de niños en situación desventajosa. Esa es la razón por la que el gobierno en todos los niveles, líderes empresarios, filantrópicos y la comunidad de la primera infancia deben unirse y seguir haciendo inver-siones que les den a todos los niños un sólido comienzo. De eso se trata Invest in US.”

Compromisos públicos/privados sin precedentes respaldarán el desarrollo de alta calidad en la primera infancia

The American Dream is, at its core, about the opportuni-ty for prosperity – it is the no-tion that anybody can work hard and set themselves up to follow their dreams. Re-cent economic woes have seen that dream fall off a cliff throughout most of the coun-try. Here in the tech capital of the world, however, that dream remains. The Silicon Valley remains as a highly at-tractive epicenter for technol-ogy start-ups, accounting for one-third of all of the venture capital investment in the en-tire nation.

Looking back, many of the technology-giants that are housed within the Bay Area were small-team startups only a decade ago. It is a truly baffling thought: Facebook began a little over ten-years-ago. That same company that now commands 1.35 billion monthly active users. In historical terms, this is practically overnight! This is the kind of concept that the American Dream is predi-cated on: that somebody can have an idea and have it turn into a (multi-billion dollar) reality. The Silicon Valley especially was founded by mavericks doing just that: seceding from the norm and

starting their own technol-ogy companies.

I think it is an extremely rare and important culture that needs to be cultivated. Small businesses are essen-tial to leading the forefront of innovation because they can change and pivot at break-neck speeds. The Silicon Val-ley was built on the backs of small startups led by ambi-tious entrepreneurs and we need to ensure that they will continue to breakout onto the scene.

Enter: Facebook. This past month, the social-media gi-ant hosted a myriad of small mobile-based startups at their headquarters in Menlo Park. The event held ~150 team members across dif-ferent backgrounds on the premise of having us join their FbStart program.

Because many of the inno-vation-leading startups are trending towards mobile app development, Facebook wants to be there to help propel them upwards. The program aims to cultivate the community’s efforts by handing them the tools that will help them focus their team; it is an accelerator program, not unlike Y-Com-binator and the Plug and Play Tech Center. One of the more helpful tools provided,

Parse, provides the back-end for mobile app developers through storing their data on the cloud, managing log-ins, and allowing for push notifi-cations – ease-of-use was re-ally what they were shooting for here, and it seems to have worked with flying colors.

I could not help but love their reasoning for inviting us: if Facebook handles the leg-work of the back-end creation of apps, the commu-nity can then focus on what makes their app unique -- the consumer-facing aspect of the app.

With Facebook reaching out to the community in such a big way, it will allow small-team developers to hit the ground running. An idea can become an app very quickly with the help of the giant so-cial media’s tools.

The rest of the event was seminar-style, so they also had some useful informa-tion on how to grow a new app and how to potentially monetize it when it matured enough.

If the American Dream is losing its muster throughout the nation, I am glad that at least the Silicon Valley has maintained its identity as an entrepreneur-led, innova-tion-driven land of startups.

‣ FbStart is a new endeavor by Facebook which will help mobile developers to propel their startups foward with no cost to the small businesses.

América es una nación de

inmigrantes que provienen de todas partes del mundo atraídos por la promesa de libertad y de una buena vida. Pero un cuerpo de pruebas considerable sugiere que para los recién llegados, la vida en los Estados Unidos puede ser peligrosa para su bienestar.

Cuando llegan aquí, los in-migrantes están por término medio más sanos que sus homólogos americanos naci-dos aquí. Pero cuanto más tiempo se quedan aquí, peor les va en cuanto a enferme-dades cardíacas, hiperten-sión, diabetes y salud mental.

Docentes de la Fielding School of Public Health de la UCLA están intentando identificar los factores que contribuyen a que el estado de salud de los grupos inmi-grantes esté en declive y ocur-riendo a lo largo del tiempo y de las generaciones.

Una parte del problema tiene que ver con la falta de

conocimiento de la sociedad americana y su complejo sistema de asistencia médica. A muchos inmigrantes les falta seguro médico. Pero Marjorie Kagawa-Singer, profesora en la Fielding School y que se centra en dar una asistencia médica que tenga en cuenta de forma adecuada la cultura del pa-ciente, señala que es más que una cuestión de costo.

“Si una persona acaba de llegar a este país, no habla el idioma y tiene que aprender a moverse dentro de nuestro sistema, es como si nos deja-ran caer en medio de Siberia y esperaran a que averiguára-mos lo que necesitamos”, dijo.

Por ejemplo, muchos in-migrantes de toda la gama cultural y educativa man-tienen creencias sobre enfer-medades y sobre cómo fun-ciona el cuerpo que difieren del modelo biomédico que se practica en los EUA, agregó Kagawa-Singer, y muchos médicos de asistencia médica no han estudiado esas dife-rencias.

“Cuando hay problemas tanto en los conocimientos de la salud entre los pacien-tes como en la competencia cultural entre los médicos, el resultado es una ‘tormenta perfecta’ de gente que no podrá utilizar el sistema de asistencia médica incluso cuando se les ofrezca”, dijo Kagawa-Singer.

La paradoja latina

A pesar de desventajas sociales y económicas, los inmigrantes latinos recién llegados, según muchos in-dicativos, están más sanos que otros grupos. A eso se le ha llamado la paradoja la-tina. Pero hay indicios que demuestran que cuanto más tiempo están estos inmigran-tes en los Estados Unidos, y en las siguientes generacio-nes, la paradoja desaparece: Aumentan los riesgos de condiciones crónicas como la diabetes, el cáncer y enferme-dades cardíacas.

“Se entiende que están adoptando estilos de vida americanos poco sanos”, dijo Alex Ortega, profesor de la Fielding School y cuyo tra-

bajo se centra en las necesi-dades físicas, médicas y men-tales de los niños latinos y sus familias. Ortega también es director de investigación en el Centro de Salud de po-blación y disparidades de la salud de UCLA, un proyecto de cinco años y $10 millones financiado por los Institutos Nacionales de Salud para es-tudiar y reducir los riesgos de enfermedades cardiovascula-res en East Los Angeles.

Menos atención se ha dado a un fenómeno similar. Ortega ha hallado que en-tre los niños latinos, cuanto más tiempo han vivido en los Estados Unidos y más gen-eraciones han vivido aquí sus familias, más alto es el riesgo de una salud mental pobre. Entre las posibles explica-ciones: “A la vez que la gente inmigra y se acultura, en al-gunos casos pierden lazos fa-miliares y sociales. Y sin esos sistemas de apoyo, les falta la red de seguridad para ayudar a protegerles de los efectos de una salud mental pobre”, dijo Ortega. Ha habido hallazgos similares para otros grupos inmigrantes.

Los efectos de la discrimi-nación sobre la salud

Mientras que la asimilación puede que sea un factor im-portante en el empeoramien-to de la salud de los inmi-grantes, otros factores, como la cultura, la genética y el es-tado socioeconómico, tienen un papel importante. “Pero no explican completamente las disparidades de salud que vemos”, señaló Gilbert Gee, profesor en la Fielding School y miembro del Centro de Kaiser Permanente para la Igualdad sanitaria de la UCLA. De hecho, Gee cree que algo de lo que se atribuye a la asimilación puede que realmente sea el resultado de como se les ve a los inmigran-tes en su nuevo hogar.

“Otro aspecto de estar aquí mucho tiempo es que uno experimenta más discrimi-nación”, dijo Gee, que pro-cura medir el impacto de esa discriminación en la salud mental y física. Señala que los inmigrantes van de sentirse en casa en su país de origen a ser vistos como una minoría racial.

“De repente ya no eres es-rilanqués, sino simplemente asiático”, dijo Gee. “Ya es bas-tante estresante venirse a una nueva sociedad y aprenderse un nuevo idioma, pero es el doble de estresante cuando también se ha de tratar con estos estereotipos negativos”.

En un estudio de inmigran-tes asiático norteamericanos, el grupo de Gee descubrió que la depresión clínica se podría predecir más por las experiencias de discrimi-nación que por aculturación. Gee sugiere que esfuerzos recientes para pasar leyes de solo-inglés han creado un clima hostil para los grupos inmigrantes, potencialmente en detrimento de su salud.

Para Gee, esto subraya la noción de que las políticas de derechos civiles también son políticas de salud. “Cu-ando estamos cambiando la manera de definir a los inmi-grantes, eso puede tener un impacto en la salud”, dijo.

ESPAGUETI EN SALSA DE NUEZ

Un día leí que la mezcla de los dulce con salado conduce a un sentimiento de confort y felicidad. Si ese es el caso prepárate para sentarte a disfrutar de una deliciosa pasta con los elementos necesarios para sorprender a todos en la cena de Navidad.

Christmas esta a la vuelta de la esquina y ya es hora de ir planeando el menú. Para este año opte por un espagueti en crema de nuez y chipotle que es un infalible platillo para chicos y grandes.

Esta es la tercer receta que preparo para Barilla y me siento muy orgullosa de ser porta voz de esta marca que me permite crear pastas con sazón latino para llevar a la mesa una gran variedad de recetas creadas con una pasta de alta calidad que no se pega y mantiene un deliciosos sabor y consistencia.

La receta es sencilla y aquí te presento la opción light como en todas mis rece-tas y también la versión pecaminosa –cremosa- por si deseas pecar en esta fecha especial.

Vamos a comenzar poniendo nuestro esp-agueti Barilla en una olla con agua y sal. Lo importante es tener suficiente agua para que cubra la pasta y el secreto para una pas-ta al dente es fijarte en el frente de la caja de Barilla el tiempo de cocción y estar al pen-diente de no dejar cociendo tiempo demás la pasta. Para este espagueti yo lo deje coci-nando por 9 minutos y después lo pase por un cedazo para deshacerme del agua.

COCINEMOS PASTAMientras la pasta se cocina vamos a pre-parar esta salsa que es en verdad muy cer-cana a la gloria. Vamos a colocar en la licua-dora el yogurt, la leche, el ajo, el azúcar, el queso parmesano y la nuez. En su caso si es-tas preparando la versión cremosa en lugar del yogurt coloca la crema y el queso crema.

AJO Y AZÚCARPARMESSANO BARILLAUna vez que lo licues todo muy bien ve agregando poco a poco el chile chipotle, yo utilice tres, pero tal vez a ti te guste me-nos picoso así que agrega un chile, prueba y después agrega otro hasta llegar al sabor deseado.chipotle barillamezclaUna vez que este lista

la mezcla ponla en una olla a fuego bajo, procura que no hierva solo que se caliente poco a poco. Si consideras necesario coloca un poco de sal, yo no utilice. Una vez cali-ente agrega la pasta y mezcla bien. Mantén un rato a fuego bajo mientras preparas las cebolla con chipotle.

Corta media cebolla en cuadritos al igual que tres chiles chipotle y coloca en una sartén ¼ de tza de agua y en eso cocina la cebolla junto con el chipotle. Mueve hasta que las cebollas cambien de color y veas que están bien cocidas y mezcladas con el chipotle, agrega sal al gusto.chipotle con cebolla

Only Center located in Northern California will

allow immigrants to apply for license regardless of legal

standing

San JoseCALIFRONIA

California State Depart-ment of Motor Vehicles (DMV) opened their new San Jose Driver Licens-ing Processing Center on Wednesday, December 3, 2014 at 2222 Senter Road, San Jose, CA 95112.

In 2013, Governor Brown signed AB 60 into law, direct-ing the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to issue an original driver’s license to any California resident who is eligible for a driver’s license, regardless of immigration status. San Jose was selected as the only Center in North-ern California and one of four locations in the state of Cali-fornia to open a temporary Driver License Processing Center (DLPC).

Mayor Chuck Reed, Vice

Mayor Madison Nguyen, and

members of the City Council supported this decision. The City of San Jose’s State Leg-islative Advocate, Roxanne Miller, worked directly with the DMV, the Governor’s Of-fice, State Senator Jim Beall and other legislators for San Jose to be selected as the site of the new DMV Driver Li-cense Processing Center, as well as the augmentation of state funding to implement the AB 60 program. On Monday, December 1, 2014, the Center began processing driver licenses for applicants who can verify legal presence

and have a valid social secu-rity number. Undocumented applicants will be able to apply for a driver license on January 2, 2015, when the new law goes into effect.

Vice Mayor Madison Nguy-

en expressed, “This is a piv-otal moment for mobility and public safety in the City of San Jose. Families will be able to safely and legally drive to work and drive their chil-dren to schools. The opening of this Center and the imple-mentation of AB60 is trans-formative for our City.”

Cathedral of Faith

SAN JOSE, CA—The Reaching Out Food Cen-ter at the Cathedral of Faith will hold their annual ‘Cel-ebration of Love’ Tuesday, December 23 from 10:00 a.m. until noon. Over 1,500 grocery carts full of food will be distributed that day. During the entire month of December 3,850 grocery carts full of food will be dis-tributed, including turkeys, fresh produce, vegetables, bread, and pastries, to needy families. The retail value of the distributed food is well over $960,000. San Fran-cisco Giants left fielder Travis Ishikawa will be on hand for the event, volunteering with

his family and the over 500 other volunteers.

“This year, we’ve seen a much greater demand in our services,” said Jim Gallagher, Reaching Out’s director. The mostly-volunteer organiza-tion, which operates out of a debt-free, 16,000 square foot distribution center on the Cathedral of Faith campus, provides emergency food and basic life necessities for over 120,000 economically disadvantaged, $8.5 million dollars in food in 2014 alone.

The Celebration of Love Food Distribution event takes about two hours to pull off—with the help of hun-dreds of volunteers from the church congregation. More

than 3,500 vouchers are be-ing distributed to recipients over the next month, and each will present their vouch-er to receive their food. “No one will be turned away,” Gal-lagher said. Reaching Out also provides monthly food distribution to 350 families with children attending the Rocketship Si Se Puede pub-lic charter elementary school in east San Jose. Over 90 per-cent of the school’s students live in poverty and need the vital groceries for nutrition.

San Jose CALIFORNIA

Tuesday, December 9th, saw the San José City Coun-cil discussing a proposal to more aggressively implement SmartPole technologies and join other major cities in employing innovative and cost saving models. Specifi-cally, Mayor-Elect Sam Lic-cardo is urging the Council to increase the number of au-thorized SmartPoles to 100 or more, and in exchange, require that Philips convert a greater number of LED streetlights than the current 15 per SmartPole that is pro-posed.

In 2007, the San José City Council unanimously ap-

proved Mayor Reed’s Green Vision, which included a goal of converting 100% of our city’s 62,000 streetlights, from low-pressure sodium to energy-efficient LED’s. Ac-cording to the Department of Transportation, we have upgraded about 6% of our streetlights, or approximately 4,000, in the last 8 years.

Mayor-Elect Liccardo stat-ed, “We have a consensus to improve the safety of our streets with higher-quality lights, and to save money and energy—now is the time to swiftly forge ahead and meet our declared energy goals.”

Over a year ago, Mayor-Elect Liccardo and Council-member Rose Herrera sub-

mitted a memorandum to urge the City to partner with Philips for the leveraging of City infrastructure lease rights for “small cell” capac-ity in exchange for a more comprehensive LED conver-sion effort. A year later, what has emerged from all of the discussions with Philips is largely a “dip the toe in the water” approach, without a promise of any substantial conversions of streetlights for many years.

Mayor-Elect Liccardo add-ed, “Our residents deserve much better—improved lighting and wireless cover-age. Our budget will reap the savings, and our planet will benefit by our willingness to push forward.”

‣Volunteers are pictured collecting various food items that will benefit those in need this holiday season .

The San Francisco Board of Education voted unani-mously to provide every high school student with the opportunity to enroll in an Ethnic Studies class by the school year 2015-2016.

In addition to expanding the class offering to all high schools, the Board resolu-tion encourages district middle schools to infuse multiethnic and multicul-turalism throughout the 6-8 grade curriculum and to ex-plore institutionalizing Eth-nic Studies coursework as a requirement for graduation in the future.

“As the author of this reso-lution, I am proud to an-

nounce the passage of this resolution to institutional-ize Ethnic Studies into ev-ery SFUSD high school,” said San Francisco Board of Education president Sandra Lee Fewer. “By affording every high school student the opportunity to take the course, we are doing our share in creating a more co-hesive, peaceful world while allowing students to devel-op a deeper understanding of the world around them.

“This course has been also approved by the University of California as eligible for entrance into our UC sys-tem. As the President of the Board of Education I am proud to represent the San Francisco Unified School District as it leads the na-tion in setting the example

of how important it is for students to see their own ethnicity reflected in the real history of our country,” said Fewer.

“As a former Social Studies teacher in Arizona, I wit-nessed Mexican American studies being stripped from the curriculum though 95 percent of my students were Mexican American. I am so proud that the very books being banned in Arizona are being celebrated here,” said Superintendent Richard A. Carranza. “At some point in the near future we’re going to talk about how everyone’s culture is infused in every aspect of the curriculum -- math, history, social studies, science, and art – because this is what is best for our students.”

‣Students, educators and sup-porters of Ethnic Studies wore red on the 9th in support of the new measure which would bring Ethnic Studies curriculum to SFUSD be-ginning next year. Photo Courtesy: SFSU/Facebook

The Daughters of Charity, since its establishment cen-turies ago, provides health care to any and all individu-als who presented them-selves despite their financial ability to pay costs incurred. Prior to 1900, rich and poor received the same level of care. Today they operate sev-eral hospitals which are up for sale. Its ‘Open Door Poli-cy’ in today’s health care mar-ket is very much ‘out of sync’ with the costs incurred by re-cent medical knowledge and its applied technology. Today, providing health care is a very complex business (18% of the GDP) in which their approach provides a certain path towards bankruptcy. As owners and operators of O’Conner Hospital, San Jose and St. Louise Hospital, Gil-roy, the Daughters of Char-ity Health System (DCHS), after several years of severe

operational losses, decided to put up a ‘FOR SALE’ sign. The current status of the lengthy process of transfer-ring ownership of these two hospitals was the sole subject of a presentation to the Ro-tary Club of San Jose meet-ing Wednesday, December 3, 2014. A summary entitled ‘GET THE FACTS’(website: DCHSPRIME.com) was available to all present. The current agreement for this proposed transfer of owner-ship from DCHS to Prime Healthcare will need approv-al by the California’s Attorney General’s Office, which will

hold public hearings during January 2015.

The proposed sales agree-ment has taken months to reach its present standing. The process used, which was approved by the DCHS Board of Directors per its fiduciary responsibility, was to ask any and all interested parties to present evidence of competency and qualifi-cations. Over 100 prelimi-nary statements of interest were vetted carefully with the result that a short list re-sulted. Blue Wolf Partners, an investment firm sup-

ported by SEIU and UNAC, offered a management con-tract, which was not a ‘sales agreement’. The County of Santa Clara’s Health & Hos-pital Systems proposal was deemed not to be in the best interests of DCHS. The very best proposal was made by Prime Healthcare which has current operations in Los Angeles.

Prime Healthcare was chosen because it was far and away the best offer for DCHS. It has a history of turning around stressed hos-pitals. PrimeHC did not offer the most money, but it met or exceeded all the criteria for sale previously approved by the DCHS Board of Direc-tors. These criteria included: a) keeping these two hospital open as acute care (hospital) facilities, including all trau-ma centers and emergency rooms. b) maintain DCHS mission of charity care.; c) fund pastoral care programs;

d) honor existing union labor contracts; e) invest $150 mil-lion in capital improvements over the next three years; f) assume and fund all pension responsibilities.

PrimeHC was the only bid-der to assume 100% respon-sibility for the pensions of all 16,000 union and non-union workers, past and present. PrimeHC agreed to take full responsibility for all pen-sion obligations including full compliance with ERISA. This PrimeHC proposal will transiton the curent Church Plan into an ERISA plan ulti-mately with the full backing of the (federal) Pension Benefits Guaranty Corporation. Fur-thermore, PrimeHC agreed to put their entire company’s financial strength behind their support of the DCHS pension plans.

A consideration was that PrimeHC has never closed one of its hospitals nor filed

for bankruptcy which would have an adverse effect on PrimeHC’s good will status. PrimeHC is the right choice for DCHS. It has a document-ed track record of providing more than $2 billion in chari-ty and uncompensated health care in California since 2010.

Of great interest is the as-sertion that PrimeHC has more hospitals than any other health system in California and is recognized by federal regulators for serving a sig-nificantly disproportionate share of Medi-Cal and indi-gent patients. Prime Health Care can do this because of its competence, experience and size which enables it to pur-chase supplies and services at reasonable discounts.

Only the Prime Healthcare proposal met all criteria set forth by DCHS Board of Di-rectors. Interested individuals can visit <dchsprime.org> for more factual details.

Roddy Scheer & Doug Moss EARTHTALK

There’s no time like the pres-ent to teach kids to respect their environment and be willing to stand up to protect it. Of course, any good envi-ronmental education starts at home: parents should al-ways keep in mind that they are role models for their kids, and should act responsibly. And most schools today in-corporate issues of sustain-ability into their curricula. But kids who want to do more can sync up with one of any number of nonprof-its focused on getting young people involved with volun-teering and advocacy on be-half of the environment.

One of the best places to start is Youth for Environ-mental Sanity (YES!), a non-profit that runs a national speakers’ and workshop tour around the U.S. and beyond

as well as summer camps de-voted to teaching kids how to take action on behalf of the environment. The group also runs JAMs, bringing together “young changemak-ers” from local communities to brainstorm ideas for solu-tions to local, national and international environmental problems. The YES! website features information on a wide range of environmental topics as well as videos focus-ing on organizing and coali-

tion building around shared environmental goals.

Another great resource is the Center for Biologi-cal Diversity’s Generation Wild program, designed to help kids learn about and help protect local wildlife. The program’s website of-fers kids tips on things like how to write an effective and compelling “letter to the editor” for publication in a local newspaper, creating a

backyard wildlife sanctuary, encouraging teachers and schools to undertake projects that help local wildlife, and spreading the word via social media.

Meanwhile, Earthforce, Inc. helps kids ages 10-14 develop citizenship skills and ad-dress both local and national environmental problems. Participants get hands-on, real-world opportunities to learn about the issues and develop skills that can help them become lifelong leaders in addressing them. Another leading youth environmen-tal group is Tree Musketeers, which empowers kids to use innovative approaches in launching their own envi-ronmental campaigns where they live. Through its Young Executive program, the group provides resources to help kids learn the practical, lo-gistical and personal skills to lead environmental actions and spread the word about the need to live more sustain-able lifestyles.

Yet another nonprofit vehi-cle that helps kids get active is SustainUS, which focuses on sustainable development. Its Agents of Change program sends youth delegations to United Nations conferences on climate change, sustain-able development, women’s issues and biological diver-sity—and its Lead Now Fel-lowship trains and supports young people in becoming leaders in advancing sustain-able development.

Last but not least, TakingIt-Global is an international network of young people working to tackle global en-vironmental challenges. Its Digital Youth Engagement, Global Education and Social Innovation programs focus on creating the next genera-tion of environmental lead-ers around the world.

Young people can also get involved in environmental protection efforts right in their own backyards even

without the support of a non-profit. Examples include organizing a local e-waste re-cycling drive, asking schools and businesses in the area to refrain from using noxious chemicals for landscaping, and coordinating carpools to reduce traffic-related green-house gas emissions. Like-wise, kids can learn a lot by finding a local green group and volunteering to help canvass for funds, clean-up a beach or waterway, or lobby local officials to take sustain-ability into account. Indeed, our common future may well depend on it.

Through the Teatro Campesino, Noé Montoya has portrayed the indigenous man Juan Diego, whose story is crucial to the history of the Virgen de Guadalupe. The play was first performed in the early 1970’s. It is a story about the milagro, (the miracle) of the apparition of the Virgen to the indian Juan Diego. The original script was written by Doug Gomez, and then was revised by Luis Valdez, of which the current incarnation is based on.

Montoya says that his ex-posure to the play and the environment surrounding it caught his interest. “I’ve been involved with the Teatro since I was a Junior in high school. I grew up in Hollister and the Teatro Campesino was in my backyard in San Juan Ba-

tista. So I was really intrigued with the Teatro Campesino and really Involved with the United Farm Workers Union.” After volunteering with the Teatro, he was ap-proached by Luis Valdez for the role of Juan Diego. “Of course I was honored, and wound up playing that role for the next few years. ”

After that initial run as Juan Diego in his 20’s, Montoya moved on from the play, mov-ing to San José and working with other groups. Yet he played the role in 2002, and every other year from 2004, 2006 and 2008. In 2008 he retired from the role, attrib-uting this to the weathering from being 100% involved with the character and the play. “I decided that was it, I couldn’t do it anymore. It was exhausting, physically and emotionally.”At first he stayed away from

the production completely out of respect to the new ac-tor. He felt that people who were devoted to the play and his version of Juan Di-ego would not give the new actor a proper chance if he was around. Yet he did come back to the play as a musi-cian for next production, adding what he describes as “an element that I felt lacked, providing indigenous instruments to the play. I was playing turtle shells, rattles, and the clay flutes, to give it the other side of the sound. We had the beautiful strings, violins, cellos, guitars and drums but it needed more indigenous flavors, which I dropped in. ”

More than anything Mon-toya’s reflections on his time with the Teatro and the play itself, (now nearing 40 years since he first began volun-teering with them), are that

of joy, sacrifice and ultimate-ly positivity. “I realized how important the story is. It has nothing to do with religion. Its not a religious play. Its a story about faith, faith has no religion. You can have faith in whatever you wish. (The sto-ry is) Not about the church or whether you believe in the catholic church, its whether you believe in respect, love, compassion, for your fellow man”. He says that because of these beliefs he can portray Juan Diego with such pas-sion and depth.

At the time period when the unveiling of the discovery of the Virgen de Guadalupe took place, it was danger-ous to believe in any deity or icon that wasn’t part of the Spanish Catholic Church. The fact that an indigenous man, (who then were seen as a serving class, even non-hu-man), was the chosen vessel

for the appearance made the whole situation one of dan-ger and hope for the Mexican people.

“When I portrayed the role of Juan Diego I tried to play him as a human being, as a real person with humor with anger, with cynicism, all the elements that I believe a nor-mal person would get when somebody has to do a mission of this type, to risk his life to get this message across.”

It’s this reality and the histori-cal context that pushes Mon-toya to perform with every fiber of his being, for both the religious and those that are curious about the art form.“It accompanies a lot of emotion-al, cultural, and historical feel-ings. Thats why I really enjoy doing the role. I want to make sure the story is told in a way that’s real. But its not this cute story, I want to show the dark

side, and the beautiful side of life.”

With his final performances set for this upcoming week, Noé Montoya knows that he will devote his efforts to deliv-ering the best representation of his Juan Diego. “Thats why its very exhausting. It’s not just a role that I’m playing. I have abuelitas coming up to me with their rosarys in their hands, touching me, praying to me, my goodness, to them I’m not an actor, to them I really am Juan Diego, and I can’t let them down. That’s their faith.”

La Virgen del Tepeyac, with Noé Montoya, will take place at the Old Mission San Juan Bautista in San Juan Bau-tista, CA through the 21st of December. Tickets available at brownpapertickets.com/event/891076.

Just when you start to think North Korea might have actu-ally been involved in the dev-astating Sony hacks the past

couple of weeks, the FBI’s first public statement on the matter suggests otherwise.

At a cybersecurity panel earlier today, Joe Demarest, assistant director of the FBI’s cyber di-

vision, told attendees, “There is no attribution to North Korea at this point” according to Re-uters. An FBI spokesman said the agency is still searching for the hackers, but wouldn’t pro-vide additional information.

Several researchers have sug-gested that North Korea – or at least North Korean sympathiz-ers – were behind the attack as retaliation for Sony’s upcom-ing movie, The Interview. The comedy film depicts a CIA plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jung Un.

Clues like similarities with previous attacks pointed to the country’s involvement. As re-cently as yesterday, the hackers demanded Sony, “Stop imme-diately showing the movie of terrorism which can break the regional peace and cause the War[sic]!”

North Korea, for its part, has publicly denied any involve-ment.

Still, the true culprits remain unknown.

The young Peruvian bear Paddington, star of the up-coming film by the same name, made a special visit to the Bay Area today. He began his travels in Oakland at The Unity Council’s De Colores Headstart School where he met with Oakland Mayor Jean Quan and Councilman Noel Gallo.

Both Mayor Quan and Coun-cilman Gallo read Paddington adventure stories to the 100 + children present. They also presented the bear with an official City of Oakland Proclamation recognizing him for his artistry in “Lost and Found” and wished him well on his continued travels.

In the afternoon, Padding-ton continued his adventure at the Peruvian Consulate in San Francisco where he applied to get his Peruvian passport. After filling out the appropri-ate paperwork, Paddington met with the Consul General of Peru, Candy Chavez, who

reviewed his application and issued him his passport.

Keep a look out for Padding-ton in your city as his travels continue through the holidays and the new year.

From the beloved novels by Michael Bond and producer David Heyman (HARRY POTTER), PADDINGTON

tells the story of the comic misadventures of a young Peruvian bear (voiced by Ben Whishaw) who travels to the city in search of a home.

Finding himself lost and alone, he begins to realize that city life is not all he had imagined - until he meets the kindly Brown family who read the label around his neck that

says “Please look after this bear. Thank you.” and offer him a temporary haven. It looks as though his luck has changed until this rarest of bears catches the eye of a mu-seum taxidermist.

PADDINGTON will be re-leased in theaters on January 16, 2015.

‣James Franco and Seth Rogen star in a new movie that has apparently attracted the attention of North Korea.

‣The Peruvian Bear Paddington visited schoolchildren with Oak-land Mayor Jean Quan this week.

Piadosa Virgen María de Guadalupe, dales clemencia, amor y comprensión a todos los fieles que te veneran y vuelan en busca de tu noble protección.Que tu interce-sión, al igual que la fragancia dulce de las rosas,ascienda a tu divino hijo, nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Que él pueda oír nuestras oraciones, escuchar nuestras súplicas,secar nues-tras lágrimas, y darnos sagra-da ayuda y asistencia.Amén.

La fe y veneración que se profesa a la Madre de Dios, es la luz de esperanza mara-villosa que se hace presente

en la vida de los fieles que le invocan.

En México el 12 de diciem-bre, día de La Virgen de Gua-dalupe, se conmemora un acontecimiento religioso que rebasa las fronteras naciona-les, ya que feligreses de otros países llegan a la Basílica de Guadalupe, haciendo largas travesías en las tan célebres y concurridas “Peregrinaciones Guadalupanas.” La Virgen de Guadalupe es una de las ad-vocaciones más veneradas de la Virgen María en el mundo entero. Iglesias, basílicas, al-tares y capillas han sido cons-truidos en su honor en diver-sos países en cinco continen-tes. La Virgen de Guadalupe

fue coronada canónicamente el 12 de octubre de 1895 por el Papa León XIII. La Virgen Morena, La Sagrada Virgen de Guadalupe, es la Reina de México y Emperatriz de las Américas y las Islas Filipinas.

Del mismo modo que se ve-nera a la Virgen de Guadalu-pe en México, la mayoría de naciones mayormente católi-cas venera a una advocación mariana dependiendo de las apariciones que han sido acreditadas por el Vaticano y más aún, debido al fervor re-ligioso de los creyentes.

A continuación se presenta una lista con los rostros más venerados de la Virgen María en las naciones de América.

EL OBSERVADOR

The matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland Raiders occurs once every four years. The teams themselves do not hold any animosity towards each other, but the fans hatred of one another is legendary; the NFL even went as far as to stop the yearly (sold-out) pre-season matches because of the violence.

The last couple of times these teams met, they were awful. Both teams went into their head-to-heads with losing records and were not showing any promise. Though of course, the fan bases of these storied fran-chises remained as loyal as ever.

With their matchup fi-nally set once again, this one seemed like a wash – why even bother playing at this point. The Raiders have been in free fall for two straight seasons, and the 49ers had gone in the opposite direc-tion – they had been to three-straight NFC championship games – and one Super Bowl – under new head coach Jim Harbaugh.

As the match drew near, the Oakland Raiders looked a bit better than their 1-11 re-cord, as they had kept many of their losses competitive and respectable (the Raid-ers command the toughest schedule in the entire NFL), and the Niners did not seem quite as good as their 7-5 re-cord seemed to indicate.

The Niners had built their identity as a hard-nosed de-fensive team and that was not going away. Their de-fense remained as tough as ever, remaining in the top 5 for yards allowed despite numerous key injuries (in-cluding all-pro linebackers

Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman). Their offense, however, continued to sput-ter out-of-control with bleak performances by Vernon Davis, Michael Crabtree, the entire offensive-line, and Kaepernick.

The game prior to the Battle of the Bay was rough for both teams. The Oakland Raid-ers had just come out of a scathing blowout loss to the St. Louis Rams which ended with a final score of 52-0. Meanwhile the 49ers had just lost to their divisional rival, the Seattle Seahawks on Thanksgiving night. Not many fans had much to be thankful for that night.

All of this went into play Sunday afternoon as they geared up to play in Oak-land. Fans from both sides were there cheering on their teams. The 49ers fighting for a playoff spot against a team fighting for their pride. Win-ner takes the bay.

On paper, the 49ers should have decimated the Raiders. This is a playoff-caliber team that has tons of talent on both sides of the ball. The defense played well enough, though it seemed as though they could not create substantial pres-sure on the rookie QB, even with all-pro Aldon Smith back. Unfortunately, a lot of what the fans were worried about reared its ugly head that day. The entire offen-sive unit looks embarrassing. Every drive was met with ri-diculous delay-of-game pen-alties, bad play-calling and terrible execution.

Kaepernick made some key mistakes (two interceptions), but often times his receiving corps could not get open for long enough. The entire right side of the o-line was getting beat, leading to tons of pres-sure. And of course, the one part of the game that was working, Frank Gore, was

underutilized yet again. He was averaging 5.3 ypc and still Greg Roman opted for more pass-plays when the pressure was overwhelming. It seems as though the entire organization is collapsing on itself over in San Francisco and it is getting out of hand. For many, the rumors that coach Jim Harbaugh is leav-ing after this season seems to be coming to fruition with four-straight weeks of lack-luster performances.

On the other side, the Oak-land Raiders were fired up from their huge loss and seemed to play exceptionally well against a “better” team. Throughout the game Carr looked poised and in-com-mand and had the best game of his young career throw-ing for 78.6% (22/28) and 3 touchdowns. The o-line did their part and bought him enough time to complete the necessary passes. The Oak-land running game appeared to find new legs under run-ning back Latavius Murray, and their 2nd year tight-end, Mychael Rivera, had a huge game, catching over 100 yards and 1 touchdown.

The NFL prides itself on its immense parity and this game was a prime example of that -- any given Sunday any team can beat anybody. Playing smart and with heart granted the Oakland Raiders their 2nd victory of the season, with a final score of 24-13.

The Oakland Raiders look to repeat against their di-vision rival the Chiefs this upcoming Sunday for their second straight. The 49ers are still viable for a playoff spot if they can manage to eke out the next few weeks, though they must play the red-hot Seahawks in Seattle this upcoming Sunday. We will see what happens when the immovable object meets the extremely stoppable force in Seattle soon (hint: it won’t be pretty).
