Will Escondido Mayor’s Race ‘Make History?’
By Mark R. Day
As Election Day nears, many
North County residents are asking
themselves if the Escondido mayor’s
race will alter the course of that city’s
history by electing Olga Diaz its first
Latina mayor.
Traditionally, Escondido is a
staunchly Republican town, and
Latinos have never had a political
voice until recently. They now constitute 49 per cent of the city’s population. A new generation of young
Latinos is voting, and change appears
to be in the wind.
Diaz, raised in Northern California,
has served two terms as a councilwoman and has provided a fresh start
for Latinos involved in the city’s political process. She holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Santa Clara
University, and has established two
businesses in Escondido. Her husband
is an Escondido police officer.
On Oct 3 the three candidates for
mayor debated the major issues facing Escondido at a community forum
for the Latino community sponsored
by La Raza Lawyers of San Diego
County, MANA of North County, and
the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
The bulk of the debate centered
on the visions and policies of the two
major candidates, Deputy Mayor
Olga Diaz and Mayor Sam Abed. A
third candidate, Stephan Siaw, is a
business student at Cal State San
Marcos.
The discussion was moderated by
Carlos Gonzalez of San Diego’s
Univision affiliate, who covered the
main debate topics, followed by ques-
tions from the mainly Latino audience.
Abed stressed his background as
a Lebanese immigrant but reiterated
his conservative views about undocumented immigrants in Escondido,
whom he referred to as “illegals.”
When questioned about the appropriateness of that word, he responded:
“If you entered this country illegally,
you are an illegal. We have to follow
the rule of law.”
Abed has been criticized widely in
the past for the rental ban directed
against undocumented immigrants in
2006. It was later overturned in court
at a heavy expense to taxpayers. He
has also been under fire for pushing
traffic checkpoints. Many believe
these stops are intended to entrap
undocumented immigrants who lack
driver’s licenses. Abed says he supports the checkpoints because “they
target drunk drivers and other lawbreakers.”
Diaz has always believed both the
checkpoints and rental ban were directed against undocumented immigrants. “Latinos have never embraced drunk driving,” she said.
“Abed and other council members
also supported E-verify checks for all
city contractors. It’s always a little
back handed slap here or there. And
they’ve always got away with this as
long as they could.”
Diaz responded to a question about
integrating immigrants in Escondido
by suggesting that translation services
would be helpful at city council meetings. She also regretted that few
Latinos hold staff or leadership positions in city leadership, on the police
force and in the fire department.

Berkeley - Cuando Ana Aceves
tenía 12 años, estaba sentada en el
porche de sus padres en la ciudad de
Merced del Valle Central en California, levantó la vista hacia el cielo
nocturno y tuvo un "viaje astral". Ella
se vio a sí misma en el porche, y luego
la ciudad y el estado, el planeta, y
finalmente las estrellas.
Fue entonces que la energética
estudiante de 23 años de edad, en su
último año en UC Berkeley dice que
supo exactamente lo que quería hacer.
"Corrí dentro de la casa y le dije a mi
mamá que quería ser una astróloga",
explicó con una risa. "Creo que
quieres decir una astrónoma", la
corrigió su madre.
Hoy Aceves, la hija de inmigrantes
mexicanos y la primera en su familia
en asistir a la universidad, esta
haciendo doble especialización en
Astrofísica y Estudios de los Medios
de Comunicación. Ella es la primera
en admitir que es una combinación
poco probable. De hecho, ella es la
única estudiante en este extenso campus de unos 30.000 estudiantes de
pregrado con este doble enfoque.
Gracias a una prestigiosa beca de
la Asociación Americana para el
Avance de la Ciencia (AAAS), ahora
lo está utilizando para ayudar a
ampliar la programación de ciencia
de una de las emisoras en español
más grandes del país, Univisión.
Atando cabos
Los padres de Aceves se conocieron en Merced, aunque ambos
emigraron de la misma zona de
Michoacán, México al centro de Cali-
fornia a mediados de la década de
1980. Ninguno terminó la universidad,
aunque Aceves dice que antes de salir
de México su padre comenzó una
licenciatura en matemáticas y física,
pero después abandono sus estudios
para mantener a sus padres y
hermanos.
Su madre comenzó a aprender
inglés en un colegio comunitario,
donde se graduó con un diplomado
en educación infantil el mismo año
que Aceves se graduó de la escuela
secundaria.
"Cuando nació mi hermano [menor], tenía muchas complicaciones de
salud", dijo. "Mi madre se frustro
mucho porque no podía comunicarse
con las enfermeras, por lo que decidió
aprender inglés". Hay una foto de
Aceves junto a su madre en sus togas
y birretes de graduación sobre la repisa
en la casa de sus padres. "Estoy muy
orgullosa de ella... ella es mi inspiración".
Pero a pesar de la cercanía de la
familia, Aceves se dio cuenta muy
pronto que sus oportunidades en
Merced estaban limitadas y que para
tener éxito ella "tendría que ir a otro
lugar".
Tras debatir entre UCLA y Berkeley, ella eligió la segunda opción,
enamorándose del campus y porque
el viaje a casa sería más corto. Una
vez allí, ella optó por estudios de
medios de comunicación como una
especialización alternativa, reconociendo que las matemáticas no eran
su punto fuerte. "Sabía que iba a
combinarlos", dijo de sus opciones
para sus títulos, "solo que no estaba
segura de cómo".

the final resolution of the World
Conference incorporated several proposals from the official
Mexican delegation, including:
that the post-2015 development
agenda includes the rights of
indigenous peoples, and that
national laws be amended and
implemented to fully respect
the Declaration on the Rights
of Indigenous Peoples.
Peña Nieto concluded his
speech by affirming that “In
Mexico our constitution recognizes and guarantees the right
of indigenous peoples and communities to self-determination,
and consequently to the autonomy to decide their internal
forms of coexistence and social, economic, political and
cultural organization.”
Bettina Cruz, Binizaa from
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec,
questioned the president’s remarks, noting the negative impact of large development
projects and of Mexico’s recent energy reform on indigenous peoples.
“Peña Nieto’s speech in the
sense that in Mexico the rights
of indigenous peoples are respected is very contradictory
especially since only a few
months ago a national energy
reform was adopted that is
extremely harmful to our indigenous peoples and territories.”
“This energy reform opens
the door to widespread looting,
criminalization, occupation and
genocide of those of us indigenous peoples still remaining in
our territories. Since we have
cared for our lands we still preserve our resources, which they
see as “natural resources”, and
we see them as natural goods
that sustain us.”
Cruz said that the law, by
granting legal priority to oil exploitation, “sidelines our rights
to live according to our own
ways of living. It negates our
rights to decide how to live,
what to live on, what to eat,
what to do, how to be happy,
how to govern ourselves.
Many indigenous and peasant organizations have pointed
out that Mexico’s energy reform is irreconcilable with the
rights of the nation’s indigenous
peoples and small farmers.
Peña Nieto referred in his
speech to the right of self-determination, but did not address
the wave of threats and invasions of indigenous territories
in the country.
The president also did not
mention the right to free, prior
and informed consent in decisions that have to do with indigenous territories and culture
that is a pillar of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Mexico is a signatory of the
Declaration and of ILO Convention 169, which also enshrines the right to consultation. But all levels of government consistently fail to comBettina Cruz faces charges for defending community

October is Breast CancerAwareness Month
We’ve all heard the disturbing statistics. One in eight
women will get breast cancer
at some point in her life. It is
the second-leading cause of
cancer death among women in
the United States. And breast
cancer has a particularly devastating impact on women of
color. African-American
women have the highest rate
of breast cancer among women under 45 years old, and
Latinas are 20% more likely to
die from breast cancer than
white women.
These are more than numbers to us at Planned Parenthood because we see patients
at health centers and connect
with them by telephone every
day. As the Breast Referral
Coordinator at Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest, I talk to women about
abnormalities they have either
discovered on their own, or that

Planned Parenthood provide
important information during
clinical examinations and educational presentations. But
what they don’t reveal is the

voice, or the way she tries to

Comprehensive
Nonpartisan Online
Voter Guide for
California Voters
MapLight and the League
of Women Voters of California Education Fund are pleased
to announce the launch of
Voter’s Edge, a comprehensive
nonpartisan online voting guide
to the California elections.
The project uniquely combines MapLight’s expertise
using technology to track public information with the League
of Women Voters of California Education Fund’s authoritative coverage of election contests through its premiere
website, SmartVoter.org.
Users simply type in their
home address and can immediately view their personalized
ballot, supplemented by helpful
information such as endorsements, funding sources, news
coverage, editorials, candidate
biographies, and more. Information that would normally require extensive time and research to obtain is cumulated
and made readily available to
the public all in one place, and
can even be embedded as Widget on websites and blogs.
“Voters need a fair and
trusted source for election information, and our pilot partnership with Smart Voter &
Voter’s Edge provides that in
a single easy-to-navigate
website,” said Melissa Breach,

facing the possibility of breast
cancer.
At Planned Parenthood
centers across the United
States, we provide 550,000
breast exams every year, but
we never lose sight of the fact
that we are dealing with individual women’s lives. We
know the woman in our exam
room is someone’s daughter or
best friend. Maybe she’s
someone’s mother. Maybe
there’s someone special waiting for her at home with tickets to a movie and her favorite
meal.
I’ll never forget Chris, a
thirtysomething who had been
in our center a few months
earlier for treatment of a urinary tract infection. She had
returned because she felt a
mass in her breast and was
very anxious. I remember the
way she kept twisting her long
blond hair with her fingers.
With eyes cast to the floor, she
explained that she once smoked
and was convinced she now
had cancer because of it. I referred Chris for further testing
and we were both so relieved
when we learned her mass
was benign.
Susan was a forty-year-old
woman who came to Planned
Parenthood because she felt a
lump in her breast. There were
several tumors throughout her
body, which turned out to be
lymphoma. Planned Parenthood helped Susan get the oncology care she needed and
within days she was receiving
chemotherapy and radiation
treatment. At first, Susan didn’t
think the lumps were very serious because her symptoms
were new, but we encouraged
and supported her in getting immediate care. Later, she called
me to say thank you to Planned
Parenthood for saving her life.
Planned Parenthood is a
leading provider of breast health
care for women in the fight to
detect breast cancer early and
ensure good breast health. So
while we embrace Breast Cancer Awareness Month every
October as an opportunity to
discuss this women’s health issue, it’s important to remember
that we provide breast health
careevery month at Planned
Parenthood.
En lo que al Ébola se refiere,

que algo no anda bien.

la gran pregunta es cómo
controlar una epidemia que
está haciendo de las suyas en
África si cualquiera -como lo
hizo Thomas Eric Duncan, el
primer diagnosticado con la
enfermedad en este paíspuede evadir los controles
aeroportuarios y mentir.
Seguramente el señor Duncan no tenía la información

la gravedad de sus actos

llegar a su destino, Dallas, el
pasado 20 de septiembre

Eso es hasta cierto punto, si
no aceptable, entendible, pero
lo que no lo es, lo que realmente debe estarnos preocupando como miembros de
una comunidad es que tras
consultar por fiebre y dolor
abdominal, el señor Duncan no
fuera interrogado sobre su
historial como viajero en el hospital donde fue atendido.
Y debe preocuparnos porque averiguar el historial de los
pacientes en lo que se refiere
a sus viajes es una directriz de
las autoridades de salud. Debe
preocuparnos porque si perdemos el control cualquiera
puede convertirse en víctima.
Las aparentes mentiras de
Duncan y los errores del personal médico del Hospital
Presbiteriano de Texas donde
fue atendido, tienen hoy a más
de cien personas aisladas y a
once de ellas corriendo un alto
riesgo por su contacto con la
infección.
Esto pone muy en duda la
seguridad que quiso transmitir
el director de los Centros para
el Control y Prevención de
Enfermedades -CDC- Thomas
Frieden cuando afirmó que “El
Ébola puede dar miedo, pero
hay una gran diferencia en el
mundo entre Estados Unidos
y partes de África, donde el
virus se está extendiendo.
Tenemos un fuerte sistema
salud y profesionales”.
Esperemos que sea así,
esperemos que la experiencia
del caso Duncan le permita a
las autoridades sanitarias tomar
las medidas necesarias para
impedir que la enfermedad
alcance -como lo ha hecho en
otras latitudes- visos de epidemia.
Por ahora debemos tener
muy claro que el riesgo es real,
que la enfermedad ingresó a
territorio estadounidense y que
debemos mantenernos informados y tomar las medidas
pertinentes en lo que a prevención se refiere.

cantidades de sangre.
El virus se propaga entre los

presentarse son fiebre repentina y alta, debilidad intensa y

No existe aún ningún tratamiento para tratar esta

que tomar todas las medidas

Authorizes $7.12 billion in general
obligation bonds for state water supply infrastructure projects, such as surface and groundwater storage; ecosystem and watershed protection and restoration; drinking water protection;
water supply management; water recycling and advanced water treatment

We want to like Prop. 1. With increasingly dismal news coverage on California’s drought, the picture that has been
drawn regarding the future of water availability in the state is not pretty. We
should all be worried! But we’re not worried enough to support this proposition.
We like the ideas expressed within the
proposition – drinking water protection,
water supply management, and especially
water recycling with advanced water
treatment technology. But the cost associated with this bond is $7.1 BILLION
dollars plus $425 MILLION dollars in
unsold bonds that had already been approved by the voters for a total of $7.5
BILLION dollars!
The cost to the tax payers to pay Prop.

years.
The proponents say that there will be
no new tax, which in our opinion doesn’t
mean much. The tax payer will still have
to pay off the bonds with their dollars.
Also, the majority of the money - $5.7
billion dollars - will go towards competitive projects for water supply and water quality projects ONLY if recipients
provide a local match, in most cases
50% of the total cost. To match state
bond funds, local agencies will have to
add new taxes or raise water rates to
cover their portion of their cost.
Then there is the fact that there are a
lot of environmental groups that oppose
this proposition. One or two environmental groups opposing is one thing. But
when there are a lot of environmentalist
groups opposing this proposition, it
raises some red flags.
Lastly this proposition does nothing to
alleviate the pain the consumers feel every time they pay their water bill and see
their annual increases.
This proposition is good for big business and the growers and does little for
the community except to add a greater
financial burden.

In June 2013, the Legislature passed

Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians and
the Wiyot Tribe. Under the State Constitution, enacted legislation can generally be placed before voters as a referendum to determine whether it can

Proposition 48, the gaming compacts

Naturally insurance companies hate
more requirements and regulations. They
want to keep their ability to raise rates
to benefit their stockholders without insurance commissioner approval. Because of this the insurance industry has
spent roughly $37 million dollars to convince the voters to vote against this
proposition.
We have all seen what happened when
gas and electricity was deregulated with
no price control. Rates went through the
roof.
Government has a role in price regulation when it comes to basic necessities.
Without regulation insurance companies
will continue the practice of raising rates
to meet profit projections without concern for the consumer.
We urge a YES Vote on Prop. 45.
This puts their future casino in direct
competition with the second casino and
they want to stop the smaller tribe from
building their casino.
The third leg on this proposition is that
the profits from this new casino will be
shared with yet another small tribe.
It does us no good to argue the morality of gambling, that ship has sailed and
we have casinos up and down the state.
Our concern is that this will open the
door for other tribes to build casinos offreservation! Take for example the properties owned by local Indian tribes, the
US Grant owned by Sycuan Band and the
property owned in National City. In the
near future it could be possible that a
casino could be built on one of these
properties if this proposition passes, allowing tribes to build casinos off-reservation.
We are torn between the opportunity
for small tribes to better themselves financially and the potential proliferation
of casinos in local cities.
We have No Recommendation on

recommendations
STATEWIDE:
Governor • Edmund G. “Jerry” Brown, Democratic: Jerry Brown has done a great job
in his first term.
Attorney General • Kamala D. Harris, Democratic: Harris has done an admirable job
as Attorney General and is on the right side of the issues such as gun control, pro-marriage
equality, anti-death penalty.
Secretary of State • Alex Padilla, Democratic: The biggest difference between the two
candidates for this office is that one is a Republican, not exactly a strong point in our
opinion, and of course Padilla the Democrat. Other than that there is not much difference.
When there is little difference between two candidates we will always endorse the Hispanic candidate.
State Superintendent of Public Instruction • Tom Torlakson: The biggest difference
between Marshall Tuck and Torlakson, is that Tuck is pro-charter schools, and is about
creating more changes in education, and what we really don’t like about Tuck is that he
sees the problems with education as a union issue and as such would like to dismantle
many of the Union protections that teachers now have.
The last thing the schools need today are more changes, hasn’t there been enough with the
No Child Left Behind and now the poorly implemented Common Core! Tuck is procharter school which is contrary to the role of Superintendent of Public Instruction, this
person should be working to improve public education instead of finding ways to siphon
off money from public ed and funneling it into private enterprises.
We believe that now is not the time for change, but a time for a steady hand on the wheel
to help guide education and Torlakson is that person. Torlakson understands teachers and
the issues they face and is not so quick to blame the teachers for all troubles in education.

indecisos y otros apáticos, de tal modo que la
combinación de estos dos factores podría ser
letal para el demócrata. La mayor parte de los
sondeos apunta a una lucha cerrada donde un
puñado de votos puede ser determinante. El
otro senador demócrata de Colorado, Michael
Bennet, nombrado a su cargo en 2009, ganó su
elección en 2010 ante el candidato republicano
y antiinmigrante, Ken Buck, por apenas 15,000
votos con el apoyo de 81% de los votantes
latinos. El voto latino salvó a Bennet.
En su discurso, Obama instó a la movilización
de votantes latinos a quienes irónicamente
habría desmovilizado con la inacción de las
acciones ejecutivas. Claro está, hay otros
factores que afectan esta ecuación, entre otros,
que los demócratas, durmiendo en sus laureles,
no invierten lo suficiente en cortejar a esos
electores, y ciclo tras ciclo parecen ignorar que
un elector que no vota es, para efectos
prácticos, un voto para la oposición.
Los demócratas todavía tienen tiempo de
movilizar latinos, particularmente para la
elección general del 2016 si, ante la inacción
del Congreso, Obama gira medidas
administrativas que amparen de la deportación
a familiares, amigos y conocidos de muchos
votantes latinos, en tanto se concreta la solución
permanente que es la reforma legislativa.
Para la elección del mes que viene, no obstante, la movilización de votantes hispanos en
lugares como Colorado enfrenta escollos.
Como me indicó una joven votante con
padrastro y esposo indocumentados: los latinos
que saldrán a votar en la contienda UdallGardner “son los que temen tener a Cory
Gardner en ese escaño”.
¿Saldrán los latinos de Colorado a votar?
¿Salvarán a Udall? Como el Sí se Puede, más
que una afirmación, por ahora es una
interrogante.
“Sí se puede, si votamos”, afirmó el presidente
Barack Obama en la gala anual del Instituto de
la Bancada Latina del Congreso, al pedir que
sigan creyendo en él porque el anuncio de las
acciones ejecutivas migratorias, como dice el
cantautor cubano Willy Chirino, en una de sus
famosas canciones, ‘ya viene llegando’.
Pero los latinos votaron por Obama en 2008
y 2012, y por los demócratas desde hace mucho
más, y cuando de inmigración se trata, han
tenido que cederle el asiento a un sinnúmero
de asuntos que siempre cobran prioridad.
Y tanto va el cántaro a la fuente, que al final
se rompe. Ahora hay apatía de los votantes
latinos en momentos en que los demócratas
luchan por mantener el control del Senado en
noviembre. No sólo he leído al respecto o me
lo han contado. Lo escuché de algunos votantes
latinos en una reciente asignación en Denver,
Colorado, donde se libra una intensa lucha por
uno de los escaños que podría determinar si
los demócratas mantienen el control de la
Cámara Alta.
Se trata de la cerrada contienda entre el titular demócrata, Mark Udall, y el aspirante
republicano, Cory Gardner. Es quizá la lucha
electoral que mejor manifiesta la importancia
del voto latino en elecciones cerradas. Si los
hispanos salen a votar o se quedan en casa el
próximo 4 de noviembre, podrían determinar si
Udall gana o pierde la elección.
Udall es pro reforma migratoria y acciones
ejecutivas. Pero el retraso de esas acciones
ejecutivas migratorias, sumado al bloqueo
republicano a la reforma migratoria legislativa
en la Cámara Baja, han generado desencanto
entre los electores hispanos de Colorado, sobre

PUBLIC FORUM:
Waterless Urinals Are Not Odorless in Men’s Rooms
By Guillermo Ramirez
SWC student, “the bathrooms stink” and sometimes give him “itchy eyes and discomfort while
in the restroom.” Ricardo, another student at
SWC, suffers from ulcerative prostatitis and
uses those urinals every two hours: “I feel horrible when I go to the restroom at SWC.” (During the interview in the restroom # 2365 there
was a urinal overflowing on the floor.)
The saving in water costs needs to be carefully analyzed because there are other expenses
associated with waterless urinals. Chemicals
for these urinals include: sealer, primer, and
cleaner which sell for $75 a gallon in average;
and these products might also harm the environment. One of the two plumbers at SWC
said “the selling point was the 40,000 gallons
less, but the vendor did not mention about we
would have to upgrade or retrofit the ventilation.” According to James Krug, CEO of Falcon-Waterfree Technologies and/a former
Disney Channel vice president, the waterless
urinal is a good business invention because every 7,000 uses the urinal requires a new cartridge that sells for about $40.00 ( reported in
Wired Magazine by Joshua Davis “Pissing
Match: Is the World Ready for the Waterless
Urinal?” The U.S. Army in October 2007 said
yes to the waterless urinals in all its new constructions, but later found problems with the
plumbing. The City of Chicago ordered to
teardown all zero water urinals because concentrated urine caused severe damage to
plumbing pipes at City Hall and in the O’Hara
airport, ‘Green’ Experiment at City Hall Stinks
| NBC Chicago reported. The use of the, donated, zero water urinals was not tested enough
for corrosion and its use did not account that
users would poor coffee and drinks down the
pipe, Environment Department spokesman
Larry Merritt said . There is a concern that
these urinals become a health risk factor because at SWC I found urine stopped in one of
those urinals for a week and the odor was horrendous.
SWC installed thirty waterless urinals one
year ago. Since then at SWC urinating requires
a nose clip to hold the breath while doing business in the men’s room. Hopefully, new ventilation or water-flush urinals shall be installed
soon to provide a fresh air to students in the
restrooms. An online search of the Southwestern College’s website returns no results for statistics on urinals or waterless money savings.
Southwestern College (SWC) has installed
waterless urinals in most of the men’s
restrooms. While the water saving figures is
not clear because there are not water meters
installed in each restroom, the odor in the men’s
restrooms is disgusting. Waterless urinals are
being removed from bathrooms nationwide
because of the odor and damage to the pipes
from concentrated urine.
Waterless urinals use zero water and rely on
filters to block the odor of urine and of the
sewer. Regular urinals use about one gallon of
water per flush and drain it into the sewer pipe,
a water trap blocks the odors. Waterless urinals were invented in Germany. The Waterless Company’s website claims that their urinal “saves on average 20,000-45,000 gallons
of water a year.”
Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD indicated in
medicinenet that urine has an ammonia scent,
and odor because of the food we eat. Certain
medications may change the smell of urine too
and finally diseases, such as bacteria from urinary infections, give urine a foul-smelling odor.
Urine, after being released by the body, cultures
bacteria and decomposes quickly which increases odors. Waterless urinals can retain urine
creating an environment that helps bacteria multiply resulting in offensive odors. According to
attorney Shari Shapiro, foul odor from waterless urinals has led to many cases of legal disputes because construction and building codes
have not been updated to the new green policies
of Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) a green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices such as reduced water use.
Shapiro reported, in greenbuildinglawblog,
many cases of halts and removals of installations of waterless urinals in several cities around
the nation because of odor in the restrooms and
stinky scale buildups in drainage pipes.
At Southwestern College, like everywhere
else, the bathrooms are equipped with air vents
and fans to move the odors outside. But the
building designers calculated the ventilation in
restrooms according to the bathroom size, the
number of sanitary units, and the number of
users of watered urinals. When SWC installed
waterless urinals plumbers ignored the need to
recalculate the size of ventilation equipment in
those restrooms. Consequently, odor is an obvious problem now. According to Abraham, a Guillermo Ramirez, Student at SWC

Por Jorge Mújica Murias
Votar o no Votar No es el Dilema
Varios activistas en favor de los derechos
de los inmigrantes, desde Chicago hasta
Seattle, lanzaron la consigna de no votar en
las elecciones generales de noviembre,
especialmente en favor del Partido
Demócrata. Es la respuesta a lo que llaman
“la traición de Obama”, su decisión de no
tomar ninguna acción ejecutiva antes de las
elecciones, respecto a inmigración, después
de que había prometido hacerlo.
El llamado a no votar obtuvo reacciones de
conocidas figuras como Eliseo Medina y
Dolores Huerta, y el multimillonario Henry
Cisneros, ex Secretario de Vivienda con Bill
Clinton. Huerta, por ejemplo, declaró que
“tenemos que ver el panorama completo y no
dejarnos atrapar diciendo que la queremos
ahora (...) somos una comunidad que puede
esperar”, agregando que “tenemos que tener
fe en nuestro presidente...”.
En cambio, los activistas de la
Coordinadora Nacional por una Reforma
Migratoria Justa y Humana 2014, dicen
abogar “por un inmediato alivio
administrativo” y se oponen a “esperar hasta
después de las elecciones intermedias, a
menos que el presidente suspenda las
deportaciones hasta que otorgue la acción
ejecutiva. Las familias migrantes”, dicen, “no
deben pagar un alto precio por el nerviosismo
electoral del partido demócrata”.
Recomiendan “a los votantes latinos, no
apoyar a ningún candidato demócrata o
republicano en las elecciones intermedias,
que no apoye un inmediato fin a las
deportaciones y un alivio migratorio,
particularmente en las 5 a 9 reñidas
contiendas del senado, que son la mayor
preocupación para los líderes del partido
demócrata”.
Estoy con ellos. La victoria del Partido
Demócrata en las elecciones no significa, ya
lo sabemos por la historia reciente, una
solución a la problemática inmigrante, y su
derrota, por otro lado, no es nuestra culpa. Es
culpa de los Demócratas que no cumplieron
nunca, ni cuando tenían la Casa Blanca y
mayoría en la Casa de Representantes y en
el Senado.
¡Gutierritos Al Poder!
Pero parece haber otra estrategia. De
pronto, zas!, nos llega un e-mail, del cual
transcribo algunos párrafos, y aclarando que
está literal, con todas las faltas de ortografía,
caligrafía, gramática y sentido común que
aquí aparecen:
“Nosotros los abajo firmantes, por lo tanto
haber sido traicionado por el Presidente y el
partido demócrata, y enfrentando la realidad
de las continuas deportaciones injustas y
separación de nuestras familias en los
millones, apoyo el proyecto de obligar a
Congresista Luis Gutiérrez para funcionar
como nuestro candidato independiente para la
Presidencia de Estados Unidos en el año
2016 si Presidente Obama no utiliza su
autoridad que le hemos dado para que pare
las deportaciones antes del 27 de noviembre
de este año. Nos comprometemos también a
marchar durante el fin de semana de Dar
Gracia, para mostrar la unidad de nuestra
comunidad”.
Deduzco, además de que el redactor usó
Google para traducir, que hemos “sido
traicionado por el Presidente y el partido
demócrata”. Eso implica que antes éramos
aliados, porque solamente los aliados pueden
traicionar, y los dos mencionados nunca lo
fueron. Han sido titiriteros, manipuladores,
compradores y vendedores del movimiento
pro-inmigrante, pero no aliados.
Segundo, que “a Congresista Luis
Gutiérrez” se le puede obligar a hacer algo, lo
cual no creo. Ni siquiera se le puede obligar a
representar debidamente a su Distrito, menos
a hacer otra cosa. Tercero, que lo quieren
obligar a “funcionar”, lo cual sería aún más
difícil.
Cuarto, de que si lo obligan y funciona,
sería “nuestro candidato independiente para
la Presidencia de Estados Unidos en el año
2016 si Presidente Obama no utiliza su
autoridad que le hemos dado para que pare
las deportaciones antes del 27 de noviembre
de este año”. Eso está interesante. Primero,
asume que nosotros le dimos algún poder a
Obama, aseveración que no entiendo, y
segundo, que Gutiérrez abandonaría el
Partido Demócrata al que ha pertenecido
desde que era chiquito, y que se lanzaría por
su lado como candidato presidencial.
Eso trae más problemas. Primero, que Luis
sin el Partido Demócrata no es nadie. Fuera
del Partido Demócrata Luis sería un oscuro
burócrata del Estado de Illinois, de donde
originalmente salió, y nadie lo conocería.
Segundo, que el 27 de noviembre es después
de las elecciones, así que como forma de
chantaje o argumento para convencer a
Obama de actuar antes de las elecciones
pues simplemente no funciona.
Pero en fin. La estrategia del llamado
Pueblo Sin Fronteras, sería elegir como
presidente a un congresista que durante 22
no ha conseguido la aprobación de una sola
propuesta de ley. No sé por qué piensan que
podría resolver la problemática migratoria.
A la mejor la propuesta pega, porque más
allá de chantaje para obligar a Obama a
hacer algo, ¡ya de plano suena a terrorismo!

Voters interested in casting their ballots early
for the Nov. 4 Gubernatorial General Election
can now do so at the County Registrar of Voters new office at 5600 Overland Ave. in
Kearny Mesa. Early voting began Monday and
will continue from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday
through Friday and until the polls close at 8 p.m.
on Election Day. The office also will be open 8
a.m. to 5 p.m. on Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 for weekend voting.
Approximately 850,000 mail ballots were sent
out through the post office Monday and voters
could find them in their mailboxes starting Tuesday. Voters who requested them are urged to
act on them right away.
“If you know how you want to vote, grab
that mail ballot when you get it, vote it and send
it back in right away,” said Registrar Michael
Vu. “The sooner we get the ballot back, the
sooner we can start processing it so it will be
counted right when the polls close at 8 p.m. on
Nov. 4.”
Mail ballots are convenient for voters who’d
rather not make a special trip to the Registrar
of Voter’s office to cast their ballots or wait
for the polls to open on Election Day.
The Registrar is also offering another option.
Starting Oct. 27 through Nov. 3, voters will be
able to swing by any one of 15 locations located throughout the County to drop-off their
completed mail ballots. An insert with locations
and additional information has been added to
each mail ballot packet. Registered voters can
request a mail ballot until Oct. 28.

negativos en este tipo de demandas; en

a suceder en el amparo del 2007, algunos
líderes echaron mano de los recursos

resultaría muy penoso si volviera a suceder. Y
por si fuera poco, se sabe que desde marzo

FAMILY FEATURES
Y
ou’ve probably heard that eating seafood rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids can help protect against heart
disease while delivering other important nutrients. In fact, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends eating seafood twice a week for such benefits. Salmon is one fish long-heralded for its nutritional value,
and Alaska canned salmon offers a convenient way to add more deliciously nourishing seafood to your diet.
Whether your tastes lean toward a traditional croquette drizzled with a light dill sauce, or a refreshing take on a
pesto pasta salad, canned salmon is easy to prepare and surprisingly versatile.
Because canned and pouched salmon is shelf-stable, you can always have some on hand for a quick, tasty meal or
flavorful snack. At the grocery store, simply look for “Alaska” on the lid or label to ensure a top-quality, wholly
natural product with nothing added but a pinch of salt for flavor.
These recipes showcase how Alaska canned salmon can be adapted to a wide range of meals and lifestyles, from
the indulgent to the über-healthy. For additional preparation tips and recipes, visit www.wildalaskaseafood.com.

The Many Benefits of Salmon
Alaska canned pink salmon has four times the omega-3s EPA and DHA, and 12 times
the vitamin D as many popular canned meats and fish. It also has 25 percent of adults’
Recommended Daily Allowance for calcium and nearly meets the daily reference amount
for selenium.
Traditional pack canned salmon contains skin and delicate, edible bones that are rich in
calcium and magnesium. Pressure-cooked in the can, they are so soft they can be easily
blended into the salmon, adding extra nutrients and flavor. Skinless, boneless Alaska
salmon is also available in cans and pouches.
Pink salmon — the variety commonly found in cans — has a light color and mild flavor,
while red salmon (or sockeye) has a richer, more intense flavor and color.

Disfrutan con Alegría Espectáculo Circense
con Ex Integrantes de Cirque Du Soleil
“Teatro Zaragoza de Tijuana punto de reunión del evento”
Brillante actuación de la artista del Cirque Du Soleil en el Teatro Zaragoza.
Por: Paco Zavala
El circo fue, es y será una
importante parte de la cultura
humana, es una noble empresa
de sana diversión construída a
lo largo de muchos siglos. El
circo está integrado de trapecistas, acróbatas, malabaristas, contorsionistas, payasos y otras prácticas corporales, las cuales tienen su
origen en diversas civilizaciones de la antigüedad, como
por ejemplo: China, Mongolia,
India, Grecia, Roma. Egipto,
etc. etc. En la actualidad
cuenta con una historia que
data de hace más de 3 mil
años.
Citamos la pequeña reseña
expuesta en el párrafo anterior
porque en Tijuana hubo un
acontecimiento sui generis al
presentarse en el Teatro Zaragoza, el pasado sábado 4 de
octubre, un grupo de artistas
circenses ex integrantes del
conocido en el mundo entero,
Cirque Du Soleil. El evento
tuvo dos presentaciones en la
citada fecha, además estará en
cartelera los sábados 11, 18 y
25 de octubre, también en dos
funciones cada uno de estos
días a las 17:00 y 21:00 pm.
El 4 de octubre fue una tarde
maravillosa, repleta de alegrías,
risas y sano esparcimiento, al
presenciar este espectáculo
denominado “NeuroManía”,
espectáculo de circo contemporáneo con acróbatas proveniente de Las Vegas, Nevada.
Aparecieron en el aforo del
Teatro Zaragoza, punto de
encuentro de este evento,
familias enteras acompañadas
de los abuelitos, papás, hijos y
nietos, para disfrutar de este
magnífico espectáculo, el cual
se presenta por primera vez en
Tijuana.
La nostalgia no podía pasar
desapercibida en este restaurado inmueble, recuerdos de
cuando el teatro presentaba
funciones de cine de permanencia voluntaria en la
época de oro. En esta fecha
recibió con los brazos abiertos
a los acróbatas, bailarines,
gimnastas, payasos y malabaristas ex integrantes del Cirque Du Soleil, quienes con la
exposición de su arte circense
arrancaron los bravos, hurras
y sobre todo nutridos aplausos.
Por supuesto que en primera
fila se encontraban el anfitrión
del evento, César Eduardo Hank
Inzunza, Representante del
ICBC, acompañado de su familia y de distinguidos invi-tados.
Con este espectáculo “NeuroManía”, iniciaron en Tijuana
las actividades del Festival de
Octubre 2014, que organiza el
Instituto de Cultura de Baja
California desde hace 13 años.
La ubicación del Teatro
Zaragoza está en la esquina de
Calle 4ta. y Avenida “E” Mutua-lismo, en Zona Centro. Los
boletos para presenciar este
evento tienen un costo desde 75
pesos, hasta 700 pesos.

Grand affair marks near completion of the San Salvador
Maritime Museum of San Diego readies to welcome newest edition to its fleet
More than any other object,
the Spanish galleon San Salvador has become the embodiment of California’s origin
story. The voyage of 1542,
with Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo
at the helm, also establishes
California as one of the places
where we can say our country
truly began.
Centuries after this Voyage
of Discovery, the Maritime
Museum of San Diego has
nearly completed construction
of a representation of the original galleon. A Spanish-style
Fandango held celebrating the
upcoming completion of this
full-sized, fully functional, and
historically accurate replica of
the San Salvador.
“We’re continually encouraged by the progress our volunteers are making in completing the San Salvador,” said
Dr. Ray Ashley, CEO of the
Maritime Museum of San Di-
Hispanic
Heritage Month
Celebration
Community Event
brings together diverse
local partners to
celebrate Latino
contributions and
achievements
Each year, from September
15 to October 15, we celebrate
the accomplishments and contributions of our Latino community during National Hispanic Heritage Month. With
this spirit, Assemblywoman
Lorena Gonzalez will join community partners from the 80th
Assembly District for an Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration in Sherman Heights on
the evening of October 9th.
Assemblywoman Gonzalez
shares, “The contributions of
our Hispanic community can
be seen every day, especially
in an area as diverse and dynamic as our 80th Assembly
District. This event is a fun
opportunity to honor the generations of Hispanic Americans
who have enriched our shared
cultural heritage and celebrate
all those at work locally to build
on that legacy.”
WHEN: Thursday, October
9, 2014 – 6:00 p.m.
WHERE: Sherman Heights
Community Center – 2258 Island Ave., San Diego, CA

The nearly completed San Salvador is revealed to the
community at a recent fundraiser.
ego. “By finally removing the
scaffolding that has surrounded
the vessel, we’re witnessing
the full scope of this magnificent achievement.”
When completed, the vessel
will act as a floating classroom
and teach students and museum visitors the history of
California in a tangible way.
The San Salvador is expected
to launch in early 2015 and be
fully completed in the summer
of 2015. The vessel’s maiden
voyage will reenact a portion
of Cabrillo’s voyage in 1542,
stopping in various ports of call
along the California coast. It
will then join the museum’s
permanent fleet of well-known
vessels including the Star of
India and the HMS Surprise.
Visitors are encouraged at
the construction site of the San
Salvador. More information
