Human Trafficking Departamento del Sheriff Probará Cámaras en Uniformes BY ESTEPHANIA BAEZ

It constitutes modern slavery; it is a human-rights violation that strips victims of their freedom and their dignity. It is human trafficking, the illegal trade of human beings. In the past two years, there have been 110 cases in San Diego County. Forty percent of the rescued victims came into San Diego through the Mexican border, and 90% of them are women between the ages of 12 and 21. “Traffickers use force, coercion, and deceit; for example, they tell [the potential victim] that they has been chosen as a model. They think they’re going to model, but then when they

of the most lucrative illegal businesses worldwide. Over 130 countries have reported cases and, according to U.N. reports, there are more than 2.4 million people currently being exploited. After the victims are rescued, they are offered rehabilitation; however, this process is sometimes delayed due to the fact that they have to face their aggressors in court. To help in this regard, the San Diego District Attorney’s Office is promoting a new initiative that would simplify the legal proceedings. “The intent of the bill is for judges to prosecute cases that happened in

Victims are generally told ‘I know where your family lives’, so right away [the victims] start to think that what matters most is to keep their family safe because otherwise they will be killed,” shared Marissa Ugarte, Director of the Binational Safety Corridor Coalition, an organization dedicated to investigating and rescuing trafficking victims.

This would also mean savings to the court, because it would be tried as a single case, so it would only require one judge, one prosecutor, and one attorney,” stated San Diego District Attorney Bonnie Dummanis. “I have people who love me now, but my dream is to have my own little family: a husband, a baby, to have a home and get up each

l Departamento del Alguacil de San Diego inició un programa piloto de tres meses en el que analizarán la viabilidad de que sus oficiales porten cámaras en sus uniformes, una medida que ha sido adoptada por diversas agencias de seguridad en el país. En esta fase de prueba, cerca de una docena de oficiales en seis estaciones, entre ellas, Rancho San Diego, Lakeside y Vista utilizarán cámaras de tres compañías distintas para evaluar su factibilidad. “Este es uno de los programas más significativos que hemos iniciado desde que CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 fui electo Sheriff, y lo quiero hacer de la

Durante la etapa inicial, los agentes participantes en el programa piloto evaluarán los resultados en relación a la documentación de hechos y el almacenamiento del material. Con este sistema audiovisual, oficiales capturarán imágenes referentes a crímenes en progreso, mismas que podrían ser utilizadas como evidencia en corte.

Just when it seemed that the current San Diego Mayor would have a free run to reelection, former California State Assembly Member Lori Saldaña officially threw her hat into the ring. Saldaña, who was an Assemblymember from 2004 to 2010, and is also a teacher, enters the race with just under six months to go before the June primary, putting her at a disadvantage against incumbent Republican Kevin Faulconer. Faulconer has alrady raised more than $1 million for his reelection. In spite of it, the former legislator is optimistic, quoting her father – a former soldier and then local journalist – at the start of her candidacy, stating that he taught her that “taking certain risks in spite of the possibilities is worth it.” “I love this city very much, and I believe that it is worth it to fight for San Diego and its future,” said Ms. Saldaña after announcing her candidacy.

OUT AROUND TOWN FOSTER QUITS SD Unified School District Board Member Marne Foster resigned her seat Tuesday after being convicted of accepting illegal gifts while on the board. The charges stem from gifts provided by a wealthy SD woman that paid for Foster’s son to attend a drama camp and also plane tickets for a college visit. Under state law a board member cannot accept more than $450 per year in gifts from any one person. The total value of the gifts was $3,487. Under the plea deal Foster got 3 years probation, can’t run for office for 4 years, and must repay the amount of the gifts.

FRAGOZO IN COURT Escondido Union School District Board Member Jose Fragozo pled not guilty to 13 felonies this week related to claims he lived outside his district and filed false forms about his residency. The charges carry a maximum sentence of over 9 years. Fragozo claimed he lived in an apartment in one area of town and also owns a nearby 4-bedroom home where he claims his wife lives because they are separated. The DA’s office alleges that’s not true.

CV BANS GROWING POT The Chula Vista City Council voted Wednesday to ban the cultivation of pot. There are currently 10 pot shops operating illegally in the city but the new ban targets the growing of plants. Cities only have until March 1st to pass their own laws or default to the state laws. By passing this ban the City may revisit the issue at a later time and revise the ban or set up new operating standards.

LATINOS IN IDAHO The Papa State? A small town in Idaho now has an all Latino city council. Wilder, ID, a town of only 1,500 residents, now has Latinos in all 4 council seats, as well as a Latina mayor. It’s the first city in Idaho to ever have all Latinos on a city council. The latest councilman elected was 19-year-old college student Ismael Hernandez. The city is more than 75% Latino.

PERSPECTIVE

Football May Have Peaked and Headed Toward Extinction

A

s the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos get ready for the 50th Super Bowl Game, some believe that football’s greatest days may be in the rear view mirror. For several years now, critics have been raising concerns that football as a sport is too dangerous for kids to play, and now many are making the same arguments about full grown men. Too many cases of concussions, brain damage, and suicides among former players exist for us not to agree. All the glitz and glamor of the Super Bowl can’t mask the true impact of such a brutally physical game. Last month, former Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Redskins wide receiver Antwaan Randle El said in an interview that he regretted having played football and feels he should have played baseball instead because of the devastating injuries he sustained. He also said he wouldn’t be surprised if football is gone in 20-25 years. Although the game has changed and equipment has improved over the years, the diagnosis in 2002 of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or

CTE, changed the future of the game forever. CTE is the permanent brain injury that comes from repeated impacts, most of which are not even noticeable. Famous former players have been proven to have had CTE but, unfortunately, most of their injuries were only diagnosed after they died. The first documented case was that of Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Fame center Mike Webster who died in 2002 of a heart attack after his life fell apart. His autopsy revealed brain damage no one knew he suffered from. In September 2004, another former Steelers player, Justin Strzelczyk, was killed when he drove his car at 90 MPH against traffic before hitting a tanker truck. His autopsy also found brain damage that later explained his physical and mental problems leading up to his death. In July 2005, former player Terry Long, committed suicide to escaped his physical torment caused by CTE by drinking automobile antifreeze. And all of our hearts were broken when Junior Seau took his own life in May 2012 by shooting himself to end his personal torture brought on by CTE. Junior had battled with pain

and emotional issues for years, including suffering from insomnia for at least the last seven years of his life. These cases of otherwise healthy athletes are conclusive in proving that the repeated impacts of football hits, even when wearing the best protective gear, are life threatening even if the players aren’t killed instantly or paralyzed from a broken neck. No amount of money to players can compensate them for a shortened life filled with endless suffering. But how does the biggest sport in America go away? It will most likely start the same way other dangerous products or activities are attacked; lawsuits. As more and more players, including children, claim injuries from the sport, surely more lawsuits will follow. And with more lawsuits will come an increased financial burden on schools, universities, pro football teams, and even referees. The cost of the sport will outweigh the income potential, and it will simply cease to exist. Our past is replete with businesses, products, and even sports that faded away or flat-out failed due to their inherent risks. Once powerful brands disappeared before, why not football? Since Greek times more than

4,500 years ago, a naturally occurring mineral was used for its flame-retardant properties. Through the centuries it was used even though it caused skin irritations. Even famed explorer Marco Polo was amazed by the material. Starting in the 19th century, is was used industrially in products including wiring, insulation, and curtains. But in the past 30 years, lawsuits led to the most costly legal settlements in history and eventually to the banning of that miracle material: Asbestos. As willing spectators, we can enjoy the thrill of the game and appreciate the athleticism of the players, but we should not ignore the physical toll it takes on their bodies. We should keep that in mind as we enjoy our threelayer nacho dip, drinks, and chicken wings on Sunday. We should also do what’s right and protect the modern day gladiators that have given their lives for our enjoyment, and protect future athletes from certain injuries that could end their lives prematurely. Football seems to be a dying game, and maybe its time to blow the final whistle.

Signatures Demanding a Stop to Raids Delivered to ICE BY ALEXANDRA MENDOZA

Human Rights organizations from throughout the U.S. delivered a package to President Barack Obama containing over 135,000 signatures asking for a stop to the raids against Central American immigrants fleeing the violence that is afflicting their home countries. San Diego was no exception. The North County Immigration Task Force delivered a petition signed by 10,000 Californians to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in Downtown San Diego. As part of this nationwide movement, activists are demanding that refugees be given Temporary Protection Status (TPS) to stay deportation proceedings that would send them back to the country they fled from. Earlier this year, federal agencies began a series of raids – mainly in North Carolina, Texas, and Georgia – aimed at Central Americans who arrived in the U.S. after May 1st, 2014 and have final deportation orders. News of these raids are worrisome for all immigrant communities and grassroots organizations are in a state of high alert. “People are scared”, indicated Caroline Theiss-Aird, VicePresident of the North County Immigration Task Force. “We have been getting a lot of phone calls from people who are scared, and it goes well beyond the Central American refugee community”. In addition to immigrants impacted by violence in countries such as Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras, there have also been cases of people whose fear is organized crime in Mexico. “International law states that we

can receive people under these circumstances, and we want for our government to follow through on it”, said Ms. Theiss-Aird. Two Task Force representatives attempted to deliver the petition to ICE’s Associate Chief in San Diego, but he was not available. As a result, the petition was received by an officer at the front desk, said the activists. “We ask for [President] Obama and ICE to stop deporting people who are afraid of going back; they need more time to get their case together, they have not been able to get an attorney and get a fair hearing”, stated Pastor Anna Runion, who delivered the signed petition. Although federal agencies have not said that they are doing these kinds of raids in San Diego,

members of the group stated that they know of at least two cases of North County immigrants who were supposedly visited by ICE officers. “We have cases, but since people do not know who to go to, we’ve only heard of them by chance. However, if people know they can come to our organizations, we’ll see more and more people coming out,” expressed activist Maribel Solache. In regards to the raids going on in the U.S., Jeh Johnson, Secretary of Homeland Security, expressed in a press release earlier this year that the border “is not open to illegal immigration” and that operations will continue whenever they feel it is “appropriate.” “This should not come as a surprise, given that for months I have publicly said that people who

fit into the enforcement priorities, such as families and unaccompanied minors, will be deported”, states the press release, referring to Central American immigrants who arrived during the summer of 2014. 121 people were detained during the January raids, of whom 77 have already been deported back to their home countries, according to official data published by the news agency Agencia EFE As a result, activists are asking the immigrant community to take precautions such as not opening the door to immigration officers unless they have a warrant, and to stay informed through grassroots organizations as to what to do in the event they are detained. “Know your rights ahead of time so you can be prepared”, closed Ms. Theiss-Aird.

The Gurmilan Foundation Raises Awareness of Disability Rights Across the Border BY GENEVA GÁMEZ-VALLEJO

In life, we either accept change and new challenges or fall to our limitations. There are moments and circumstances that leave their mark in our lives, for better or for worse. As harsh as it may often seem to many, it is up to us to see the positive outcome of these occurrences. Life changing events can happen unexpectedly, but recovering from a traumatic accident can take years, sometimes a lifetime. However, it has been proven by human success stories that recovery is not impossible. Humberto Gurmilan’s story is an example of recovery after a life changing event. Gurmilan fell victim to the ocean’s power while surfing one day and survived his ordeal. Humberto has spent over 20 years in a wheelchair after being pulled from the deep waters where he was catching waves off Playas de Tijuana’s shores. His accident left him with a broken neck and paralyzed him from the waist down. An accident like that would end ny positive outlooks on life. Especially for a high school student with an active athletic life and big dreams for his future. Fortunately, Humberto’s spirits remained strong. Although, Gurmilan was born in San Diego, he and his family were living in Tijuana when the accident happened. Doctors at the Tijuana hospital where he was treated immediately suggested that Gurmilan seek medical attention stateside due to lack of equipment needed to properly get him moving again. Intense months of change came all around for him and his family as they moved to San Diego and integrated into their new community.

As tough as these changes were, the Gurmilan family remained supportive of Humberto; his accident did not hinder their future expectations for him. Fortunately, Gurmilan’s physical abilities improved and he was eventually able to be less dependent for mobility. Today, Gurmilan is independent and an above average hard worker who sets an example for those around him every single day. He drives himself anywhere he needs to go, holds an A.A. degree in Journalism and a B.A. in Communications. Humberto’s passion for sports continues both as a fan and as a professional. He is the sports anchor for Telemundo 33 newscasts at 6pm and 11pm and is a familiar face to local viewers. He is also well known around San Diego City College where he teaches communications courses. He has written an autobiography, “Desde Mi Silla,” (“From My Chair”) and was the protagonist of “Una Vez Más” a documentary about him that recently premiered in La Jolla and in Tijuana of which half of it’s proceeds

benefit his new cause, The Gurmilan Foundation. This foundation has been part of a bigger picture for Gurmilan, who’s been interested with the idea for about five years now and is now finally coming to fruition. Attempting to speak with Gurmilan on a busy night for him, after he’d finished his appearance on the newscast and after he’d run around all day with a long to-do list (that he personally feels that he has to complete), I offered to switch the interview to another day and maybe a different time as it was getting late. He replied immediately “I’m ready, let’s do this now,” which was just another example of his consistent perseverance and work ethic. Gurmilan spoke to me about this long pursuit to help others with disabilities that almost seemed overdue in his telling of it. “In a nutshell, The Gurmilan Foundation is a non-profit organization to help support proper health, education, offering books to educate and wheelchairs to the most needy,”

Gurmilan began to explain. “The foundation started five years ago when I started thinking of helping other people in Tijuana who don’t have the opportunities I had. There’s a big need in Tijuana, [and] in all of Mexico. There is a huge lack of inclusion in disability rights” He further explained how he had thought of all the many ways he could help and quickly realized he didn’t want to become another foundation that only donated wheelchairs, clothes, etc but he wanted to take it a step further and become part of the solution to the lack of a larger issue by educating and preparing those with disabilities to be a voice in their community so they can potentially demand rights of inclusion and be heard. “Taking wheelchairs [across the border] helps but not with the real problem of infrastructure. We want to help promote those getting educated so they can help others become leaders,” he said. “So far The Gurmilan Foundation has been able to aid a girl who is visually impaired by providing the tools she needs to learn braille, medicine and clothing but a lot more needs to happen so others can get the help they seek.” Members of the foundation board vary between community leaders, colleagues and others with disability success stories. He hopes to become a voice of motivation, empowering individuals with disabilities in challenged communities. The foundation will also raise awareness to a tremendous issue that is often placed low on the government’s priority list: disability rights.

COVER STORY PG1

ESPAÑOL P.5

LORI SALDAÑA

Having left the Democratic Party two years ago due to differences with local party leaders, Saldaña will race for the Mayor’s office as an Independent. Saldaña, 57, expressed that the strength of her campaign will be based on the support of volunteers and a community effort. She also challenged the incumbent to sign a commitment stating that if he wins he will finish his four-year term without leaving early to seek higher office. “Mr. Faulconer’s eyes, I believe, are on another prize,” said Saldaña, who asked the current Mayor to let her work lead the City if his end goal is to leave it. As a California Assembly Member, Saldaña was known for supporting environmental measures and veterans’ rights; in fact, she was named “Legislator of the Year” in 2006 by the California Association of Veterans Service Officers. After leaving the Legislature, Saldaña was involved in causes such as increasing minimum wage in San Diego, a measure that was vetoed by Mayor – and now opponent – Faulconer, and which will be on the ballot during the upcoming elections on June 7th. Saldaña reiterated her support for the minimum wage ordinance, which would increase wages for more than 100,000 workers, rejecting the argument that this would impact small businesses. “When people earn higher wages, we have more people

supporting local businesses; it might be tough at first, but other cities have done it and they have moved forward,” she shared. The measure could benefit Saldaña, since it is expected to draw a large number of voters in the June election. Saldaña also backed Councilmember Mark Kersey’s “Rebuild San Diego” initiative, which would allocate $5 billion to infrastructure projects such as libraries, public parks, and street improvements, among other things. Her main motivation has been to offer a clear alternative to voters who, until a few days ago, had none. According to the San Diego County Registrar of Voters, 3 other candidates have declared their intent to run, in addition to Faulconer and Saldaña. “I am going to motivate people who have never been interested in politics to participate in this election, because it is important and it has to do with their lives,” she expressed. Faulconer and Saldaña will vie for votes in the June 7th primaries, and if neither garners more than 50% of the votes, they will face off directly in the November general election. “He could win in June and, if that happens, I will go back to my final week of classes and that’s fine. But San Diego deserves better, they deserve for their Mayor to have opposition until November,” Saldana concluded.

ALTO A REDADAS CONTINUACION DE P.1

comunidades inmigrantes, por lo que grupos activistas se mantienen en alerta. “La gente tiene miedo”, subrayó Caroline TheissAird, vicepresidenta de North County Immigration Task Force. “Hemos recibido muchas llamadas recientemente de personas que están asustadas y eso va más allá de la comunidad de refugiados centroamericanos”. Además de inmigrantes que se han visto afectados por la violencia en países como Guatemala, El Salvador y Honduras, también se han detectado casos de personas que temen del crimen organizado en México. “La ley internacional dice que podemos recibir gente en estas circunstancias y queremos que nuestro gobierno cumpla con ello”, dijo Theiss-Aird. Dos representantes de la agrupación intentaron entregar las firmas al jefe asociado de ICE en San Diego pero éste no se encontraba disponible. Por tal motivo, la petición fue recibida por un oficial en recepción, indicaron activistas. “Pedimos que Obama e ICE paren la deportación de personas que tienen miedo de regresar y [quienes] deben tener más tiempo para arreglar su caso y no han podido encontrar un abogado y tener un juicio justo”, mencionó la pastora Anna Reunión, quien entregó las firmas. Pese a que autoridades federales no han indicado que este tipo de operativos se estén llevando a cabo en San Diego, integrantes de dicho grupo dijeron tener reporte de al menos dos casos de inmigrantes que residen en el norte del condado que supuestamente fueron visitados por oficiales. “Tenemos casos pero como la gente no sabe a quién acudir ha sido un golpe de

suerte el cómo nos hemos enterado, pero si la gente sabe que se pueden acercar a nuestras organizaciones vamos a ver que van a salir más y más”, comentó la activista Maribel Solache. Sobre las redadas que se han llevado a cabo en el país, el Secretario de Seguridad Interna, Jeh Johnson indicó en un comunicado de prensa a principios de año que la frontera “no está abierta a la inmigración ilegal” y que los operativos continuarán cada que se considere “apropiado”. “Esto no deber ser una sorpresa debido a que durante meses he dicho públicamente que personas que caben dentro de las prioridades que tenemos al momento de aplicar la ley, tales como familias y niños no acompañados serán deportados”, indica el comunicado de prensa, refiriéndose a inmigrantes centroamericanos que llegaron en verano de 2014. En los operativos realizados en enero se detuvo a 121 personas de las cuales, 77 ya han sido deportadas a sus países de origen señalan datos oficiales dados a conocer por Agencia EFE. Debido a ello, activistas pidieron a la comunidad inmigrante tomar precauciones como no abrir la puerta a oficiales de inmigración salvo que cuenten con una orden e informarse a través de organizaciones comunitarias sobre qué hacer en caso de ser detenido. “Conozca sus derechos antes de tiempo para estar preparado”, concluyó Theiss-Aird.

Unauthorized Used Car Dealers BY ESTEPHANIA BAEZ

In San Diego County, there are individuals who pretend to be used car dealers and sell vehicles without being licensed to do so. They tend to buy cheap vehicles that have been repaired after being totaled. Buyers can easily fall victims of fraud, given that in most cases these cars’ frames have hidden defects and damages. “What these people do is just not right, I do everything by the book, these are my cars, my customers, I pay the insurance, I pay everything I need to so that my business is all legal,” said Ernesto Duran, owner of a well-known car lot in National City. “These people do it the easy way. They just come and park their cars and sometimes they have salvage titles. And the prices? Well, yes,

they’re cheaper so they get more customers because they buy cars on the street and then they [fix them] here, almost in front of my sidewalk so that it looks like it’s part of my business”, added Mr. Duran. According to a report issued by the San Diego D.A. ’s Office, the crime these illegal resellers most often incur in is tax evasion, since they leave the vehicle titles open or blank so that they do not appear in the ownership history; this way, the buyer is unaware that they did not pay Federal Income Tax or any other legally-required filings. The way these illegal resellers work is by parking a large number of vehicles at a single location all the time. Sometimes they block roads, as well as private property and parking lots. They also

attract buyers through online ads using different names and phone numbers. “This makes our people and other car dealers mad. It is unfair for them to continue operating. The worst thing is that sometimes they sell more cars than we do. We’ve seen how many cars they park out there, and by the end of the week there are only a few left. When the place [their cars] out in front of our lots, it makes it look

like we’re the ones selling them, and we have nothing to do with them, we sell good cars. This has been going on for a long time now, so what we did was to contact the Department of Motor Vehicles,” stated Andrew Duran, another used car dealer. After becoming aware of this, the California Department of Motor Vehicles

changes in the community by collaborating with nonprofits that want to make a difference. “It is important for the Company for employees to not just sell services, but also support individuals and groups that are doing something to improve the community”, voiced Mr. De la Torre, who now lives in Chula Vista. AT&T Aspire is the company’s $350 million signature initiative focused on helping students nationwide graduate high school ready for college and career. Although the initiative is open to students regardless of what their professional aspirations are, the company is focused on helping those who want to delve into science and technology-related fields. A Bureau of Labor Statistics study estimates that, by 2020, there will be close to 9.2 million jobs will be available in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields. In light of this, the

program is intended to empower low-income students with the tools they need to pursue these careers that are considered “the economy of the future” and where minority groups such as Hispanics are underrepresented. In 2011, only 7% of science-related positions in the U.S. were held by Latinos, according to U.S. Population Census data. “In order to improve the business climate in the U.S., we need to have more students pursuing these careers”, De la Torre expressed. Locally, AT&T has helped young men and women through organizations such as Reality Changers, Interfaith Community Services, and Barrio Logan College Institute, to name just a few. “We want for young people to not only finish high school, but to also have the opportunity to do something with their life, whether they want to go to community college or

to a university, and we also know that we needs to promote these careers”, he added. Another program that Ignacio De la Torre has been involved with locally has been his company’s Aspire Mentoring Academy. As a mentor, he has invited young people to visit the company’s facilities and learn about the jobs they do. Since the initiative started, it is estimated that AT&T employees have provided more than 1 million hours of mentoring to students throughout the United States. Ignacio De la Torre’s community work extend beyond AT&T’s walls. He has been involved for several years with organizations such as Downtown San Diego Partnership, the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, United Way of San Diego County, Urban League of San Diego County, and earlier with the Chicano Federation.

Según el manual de protocolo, los oficiales documentaran su encuentro con cualquier ciudadano (ya sea víctima, testigo o sospechoso), tanto en paradas de tránsito, detenciones, emisión de multas, arrestos, entrevistas de investigación y toma de declaraciones, entre otros. Oficiales tendrán permiso de grabar al interior de residencias siempre y cuando estén ejecutando una orden de cateo o arresto, detalla el documento. Por otro lado, el manual establece que todas las grabaciones hechas durante el día deberán ser documentadas en un sistema de datos para ser utilizadas como evidencia en caso de ser necesario. “Todo el audio, imágenes y material asociado con las cámaras de uniformes son propiedad del Departamento del Sheriff de San Diego y no podrá ser copiado, publicado o diseminado de ninguna forma fuera de los parámetros de este reglamento sin el consentimiento escrito del Departamento del Sheriff ”, especifica el documento. Asimismo, se subraya que el objetivo es brindar mayor documentación de eventos,

acciones, condiciones y declaraciones hechas durante incidentes críticos así como mejorar los reportes y recolección de evidencia y testimonios en corte. El uso de esta tecnología es avalado por organizaciones defensoras de derechos humanos en Estados Unidos como una forma de evitar casos de abuso policiaco derivado de incidentes como en Ferguson, Missouri, en donde murió un joven afroamericano tras recibir disparos por parte de un agente de policía. De esta manera, el Departamento del Alguacil sigue los pasos de otras corporaciones policiacas locales como el Departamento de Policía de San Diego, Chula Vista, Escondido y Coronado, además de dependencias fuera de la ciudad como el Departamento del Alguacil en Los Ángeles y la Policía de Arizona. Las tres compañías cuya tecnología formará parte de la prueba hecha por el Departamento del Alguacil son WatchGuard Video, TASER International y Vievu. Cada una de ellas será probada por lapsos de 30 días, informaron autoridades.

She managed to get out of a nightmare she had thought she’d never wake up from. “Our pimp wanted $500 a night from each of us. If we didn’t make enough money, he would beat us up. We could not eat, we could not sleep, he’d ’just send us back out. Sometimes we would have to stay at the corners until 4 or 5 a.m.,” shared “Samantha,” “Samantha,” together with 6 other women, lived at over 200 San Diego County hotels, and at times had to have sex with more than 15 men in a single night. This went on until one day she was brave enough to escape from her ordeal. Trafficking

victim advocate groups received her with open arms. Today, “Samantha” is battling the ghosts of her past on her way to recovery. “I am safe now. It’s been 4 or 5 months since I left, but sometimes I still feel anxious, scared. I don’t trust people. I have my issues, and sometimes I have my moments,” added Samantha. According to a study by the San Diego D.A. ’s Office Investigation Department, more than 50% of sex workers in San Diego County are being forced to perform this illegal activity. Most come from South American countries and were transported to the U.S. through trickery, under the false promise of a job and a better life. According to the same study, last year there was increase in the number of victims who do not report it for fear of being murdered.

Lori Saldaña Pone Interesante la Contienda por la Alcaldía de San Diego POR ALEXANDRA MENDOZA

Cuando parecía que el actual alcalde de San Diego tendría el camino libre para su reelección, la ex asambleísta de California, Lori Saldaña hizo oficial su intención de competir por el puesto. La también catedrática quien estuvo en la asamblea estatal de 2004 a 2010, llega a la contienda a poco menos de seis meses de los comicios primarios de junio lo que de entrada la pone en desventaja con el republicano Kevin Faulconer; quien ha recaudado ya mas de $1,000,000 para su reeleccíon. Pese a ello, la ex legisladora se ha mostrado optimista y durante su inicio de campaña citó a su padre, un ex integrante de las fuerzas armadas y posteriormente periodista, quien le enseñó que “vale la pena tomar ciertos riesgos sin importar las posibilidades”. “Quiero mucho a esta ciudad y creo que vale la pena luchar por San Diego y su futuro”, expresó Saldaña tras anunciar su candidatura. En esta ocasión, la aspi-

rante hispana buscará la alcaldía como independiente luego de que dejara al partido demócrata hace años, debido a diferencias con líderes locales. Saldaña, de 57 años, mencionó que la fuerza de su campaña estará basada en el apoyo de voluntarios y un esfuerzo comunitario. Inclusive, retó al actual alcalde a firmar un compromiso que diga que de ganar concluirá su administración de cuatro años y no saldrá

antes en búsqueda de un puesto estatal o federal. “Los ojos de Faulconer están en otro premio”, refirió la candidata independiente quien pidió al alcalde dejarla trabajar en la ciudad si es que su deseo final está fuera de ella. Durante su gestión en la Asamblea de California, Saldaña se caracterizó por apoyar medidas a favor del medio ambiente y los derechos de los veteranos e inclusive, en 2006 fue

nombrada “Legisladora del Año” por la Asociación de Oficiales de Servicios Veteranos de California. Tras dejar el cargo, se vio involucrada en causas como el aumento al salario mínimo en San Diego, medida que fue vetada por el alcalde Faulconer – y ahora contrincante – y que será sometida a votación pública en las elecciones del 7 de junio. Saldaña reiteró su apoyo a la ordenanza que aumentaría el salario a más de 100 mil

trabajadores, rechazando argumentos de que esto afectaría a pequeños negocios. “Cuando la gente tiene mayores salarios, tenemos más gente apoyando negocios locales, podrá ser difícil al principio pero otras ciudades lo han hecho y han salido adelante”, comentó. Esta medida podría beneficiar a Saldaña, debido a que se espera atraerá a muchos votantes en junio. Por otro lado, respaldó la iniciativa del regidor Mark Kersey para “reconstruir San Diego”, al destinar recursos por 5 mil millones de dólares para proyectos de infraestructura como bibliotecas, parques públicos, banquetas y mejoras en las calles, entre otros. La principal motivación de Saldaña ha sido ofrecer una opción clara a los votantes, quienes hasta hace unos días no contaban con ella. Según el registro de votantes, cinco candidatos han manifestado su intención por contender, de los cuales, únicamente Faulconer y Saldaña cuentan CONTINUA EN LA PAGINA 9

De niño, Ignacio de la Torre mostró interés en descubrir cómo funcionaban los artículos que tenía a su alrededor.

Concesionarios de Automóviles Irregulares POR ESTEPHANIA BAEZ

En el condado de San Diego hay registro de personas que sin permiso se hacen pasar por comerciantes de vehículos y se convierten en vendedores clandestinos. Estos se dedican a comprar vehículos baratos que fueron reparados de una pérdida total. Los compradores de estos autos pueden convertirse fácilmente en víctimas de fraude, ya que la mayoría de las veces, los vehículos cuentan con daños y defectos escondidos en la carrocería. “No, no se vale lo que hacen este tipo de personas, yo si hago todo bien por ejemplo, son mis carros, mis clientes, yo pago la renta yo pago la aseguranza, yo tengo que pagar todo para tener todo legal”, manifestó Ernesto Durán, dueño de un reconocido establecimiento de automóviles ubicado en National City. “A esta gente se le hace

fácil. Solo vienen y parquean carros y en veces los talones de los títulos no son buenos. ¿Y los precios? No pues si están más baratos y por eso agarran más clientes porque ellos compran carros en las calles y luego los [arreglan] aquí, casi casi en mi banqueta para que parezca que es parte de mi negocio”,

continuó Duran. De acuerdo a un reporte emitido por la fiscalía de San Diego, el crimen más común cometido por los revendedores clandestinos es la evasión de impuestos, ya que dejan los títulos de los autos en blanco o abiertos para que el historial del carro no aparezca y de esta manera, el

comprador no se percate a primera instancia de los impuestos de ingreso federal o de cualquier otra declaración que sea exigida legalmente. El modo de operación de estos vendedores clandestinos es estacionar un número significativo de vehículos en un solo lugar de manera constante. En ocasiones obstruyen calles al igual que propiedad privada y estacionamientos públicos. Además también atraen a sus compradores por medio de sitios de internet al utilizar diferentes nombres con distinto número telefónico. “A nosotros y a otros concesionarios nos enoja mucho esta situación ya que es injusta que sigan en operación. Lo peor de todo es que en ocasiones venden más carros que nosotros. Hemos visto cuántos carros estacionan y al final de la semana quedan muchos menos. Cuando ponen [sus autos] en

frente de nuestros lotes parece que nosotros los vendemos y no tenemos nada que ver con ellos porque nosotros vendemos un buen producto. Ya hace mucho tiempo qué sucede esto, por años, así que lo que hicimos fue contactamos directamente con el Departamento de Motores y Vehiculos”, mencionó Andrew Durán, otro comerciante privado de automóviles. Al ser advertido, el Departamento de Motores y Vehículos del estado de California, realizó un operativo en la entidad, en donde oficiales encubiertos visitaron dichos concesionarios clandestinos para hacerse pasar por compradores, para posteriormente emitir multas. El resultado de dichas investigaciones llevó a 93 multas y 68 advertencias. El operativo también dejo 109 vehículos incautados y cuatro personas arrestadas. Además publicaron una serie

de advertencias en la página oficial del departamento para hacer saber las consecuencias de este tipo de actos con el objetivo de evitar que los usuarios sean víctimas de este tipo de pseudocompradores. De acuerdo a datos de la fiscalía del Condado de San Diego este tipo de actos pueden llevar a severas consecuencias e inclusive hasta cárcel. “Con el paso de los años, los investigadores de nuestra agencia hemos percatado que este tipo de operaciones ocurren con mayor frecuencia en este Condado que en cualquier otro del estado de California, esto debido a la cercanía que se tiene con la frontera en Tijuana Baja California y por los varios ciudadanos tijuanenses que únicamente cruzan para venir a comprar

DEPORTES La Otra Cara del Super Bowl

DENVER Y CAROLINA DISPUTARÁN LA EDICIÓN 50 DEL JUEGO POR EL CAMPEONATO DE LA NFL, PERO FUERA DE LA CANCHA EL EVENTO COBRA DIMENSIONES ECONÓMICAS INCREÍBLES EL Super Bowl se ha convertido en un evento que deja una derrama millonaria a varios sectores de la economía.

POR LEÓN BRAVO

Dos equipos. Un partido. Todo se resume a esto. El domingo, 7 de febrero, los Carolina Panthers y los Denver Broncos se encontrarán el en Super Bowl 50 (6:30 PM, hora de New York, CBS) en el Levi’s Stadium de Santa Clara, California. Por tercera temporada consecutiva, el juego tendrá al los preclasificados Nº 1 de cada conferencia. “Significa tanto para nosotros llegar al Super Bowl”, dice el esquinero de los Broncos CHRIS HARRIS JR. “Pusimos mucho trabajo la pasada entre temporadas y también durante la temporada. Simplemente estoy tan orgulloso de nuestro equipo. Nos esforzamos juntos todo el año. Estuvimos codo a codo como equipo y eso es todo lo que importa.” El Super Bowl 50 tendrá al equipo más anotador de la NFL –Carolina (500 puntos, 31.3 por juego)– contra la mejor defensiva de la liga –Denver (283.1 yardas totales netas por juego)–. “Somos un equipo completo”, dice el receptor de los Panthers COREY BROWN. “Jugamos como equipo. No es acerca de una persona. Es acerca de dos personas. Si un muchacho cae, aparece el siguiente. Somos un equipo completo.” El entrenador en jefe de Carolina RON RIVERA, que guió al equipo a la postemporada en cada una de las últimas tres temporadas, está procurando convertirse en la cuarta persona en ganar el Super Bowl tanto como jugador y como entrenador en jefe (MIKE DITKA, TONY DUNGY y TOM FLORES). Rivera fue apoyador en los Chicago Bears de 1985, el último equipo en ganar al menos 15 partidos de temporada regular y también ganar el Super Bowl en la misma campaña, algo que los Panthers esperan conseguir este año. “Hemos hablado un montón acerca de cuáles eran nuestros objetivos”, dice Rivera. “Estamos a un paso. Vamos a tener que jugar contra un buen equipo de futbol americano. Tienen un mariscal de campo de Salón de la fama y un montón de hacedores de jugadas. Es un equipo para el que tendremos que estar listos y preparados.”

E

l menú está listo para ser servido en la fiesta más grande del año. Al evento asistirán 75 mil personas que pagaron un promedio de mil 500 dólares para estar presentes en la gala que se llevará el domingo en el Estadio Levi’s, la casa de los 49’ers de San Francisco. En el terreno de juego, los equipos de Denver y Carolina lucharán por llevarse el trofeo de la edición 50 del Super Bowl, pero más allá del aspecto deportivo, el partido representará también un paseo por el mundo del arte

culinario. Aquéllos que tuvieron la suerte y el dinero para obtener un boleto para ver en vivo el juego de campeonato de la NFL, podrán saborear especialidades estadounidenses, mexicanas y asiáticas en el área general de comida del estadio. El mosaico de delicias que se servirán representa prácticamente a cada una de las culturas del planeta. Los aficionados podrán disfrutar un menú en donde los tradicionales Hot Dogs y papas fritas acompañarán platillos de sushi, lomo de res, camarones a la pimienta, pastelillos de cangrejo y espadas de pollo a

las brasas con trozos de piña, hongos, cebollines y alcachofas. La comida que se servirá en el estadio del Super Bowl es solo parte de la cantidad de historias y datos anecdóticos que rodean al evento deportivo de un solo día más visto en el mundo. El duelo entre los Broncos y los Panthers será televisado a 30 países y se prevé una audiencia cercana a los 110 millones de televidentes, solamente en los Estados Unidos.

complacido de haber obtenido al colombiano Juan David Pérez como su último refuerzo para este torneo. “Juan David tiene mucha velocidad, tiene buen disparo de media distancia, gambetea sobre la velocidad y eso nos puede ayudar mucho”, explicó el estratega del equipo tijuanense. Tras el empate de 2-2 que sacó la jornada pasada en Veracruz, Xolos llega a su encuentro contra Cruz Azul ubicado en el séptimo lugar de la tabla general con cinco puntos. Por su parte, La Máquina se presentará en la perrera fronteriza con la misma cantidad de puntos que el equipo de Tijuana, pero situado en el quinto lugar de la clasificación por tener una mejor diferencia de goles a favor.

“No será un partido sencillo, pero debemos salir a ganarlo”, dijo Herrera, quien regresará al banquillo de los Xolos tras cumplir un partido de castigo. De las nueve ocasiones que ha enfrentado a Cruz Azul, Tijuana solamente ha podido ganar un partido a cambio de cuatro empates y la misma cantidad de tropiezos. El único triunfo de Xolos sobre el cuadro cementero se dio el torneo pasado cuando el cuadro fronterizo ganó 3-1 en el Estadio Azul. La balanza ofensiva también se inclina de manera significativa en favor de Cruz Azul en cuanto a que la escuadra celeste ha anotado 15 goles en contra de un equipo de Tijuana que ha logrado perforar siete veces el arco de su rival en turno.

LE TIEMBLAN LA PIERNITAS POR LEÓN BRAVO

El ser buena gente implica cosas positivas y cosas negativas. Un hombre que es educado, racional, calmado, y hasta pasivo, es considerado una buena gente. El problema es que cuando ese hombre buena gente muestra falta de carácter, liderazgo y mando, y además deja que otros decidan por él, se transforma en una persona intrascendente. El entrenador de la selección mexicana, Juan Carlos Osorio, es un hombre que se pasó de buena gente. En este próximo verano, al Tri se le vienen dos competencias muy importantes que debe resolver favorablemente. En junio se jugará en Estados Unidos la Copa América Centenario y en Agosto se desarrollarán los Juegos Olímpicos en Río de Janeiro. Para enfrentar el aniversario número 100 del torneo más antiguo de futbol en el mundo, la selección mexicana debe, a como dé lugar, traer a su mejor equipo. La Copa América Centenario es una gran oportunidad para que Osorio pueda trabajar un largo periodo con los jugadores que están peleando la eliminatoria rumbo al Mundial de Rusia 2018. La selección mexicana que acudirá a Jugos Olímpicos debe estar conformada por jugadores de menos de 23 años, aunque por reglamento puede llevar tres refuerzos que superen esa edad. Es justo en esa disyuntiva donde Osorio pasó de ser un hombre buena gente a un hombre faltó de carácter. Javier “Chicharito” Hernández, el delantero mexicano que ha revivido su carrera en el Bayer Leverkusen de Alemania, ha dicho que le gustaría jugar los Juegos Olímpicos en lugar de la Copa América Centenario. El deseo del Chicharito va en relación a que hace cuatro años se negó ir con el seleccionado mexicano que en Londres ganó la medalla olímpica de oro. Creyendo que México puede repetir la hazaña en Río de Janeiro, el Chicharito se quiere apuntar como refuerzo del Tri Sub-23 que entrena Raúl “Potro” Gutiérrez. Ante esa situación, Osorio ha dicho que dejará que sea el propio Chicharito el que elija entre la Copa América Centenario y los Juegos Olímpicos. Con esa actitud, el técnico colombiano dejó de ser un buen gente para transformarse en un cobarde, en un hombre al que le falta personalidad para imponer su autoridad. Ningún entrenador, de ninguna otra selección del mundo, deja que sus jugadores escojan cómo, cuándo y dónde quieren actuar. En circunstancias normales, los jugadores se reportan al lugar donde su técnico los llama, donde su técnico los necesita, donde su técnico les ordena. Al no imponer la jerarquía que su puesto le brinda, Osorio se convierte en un entrenador vulnerable al capricho y deseo de cualquier otro de sus jugadores. Dejar que “Chicharito” elija donde quiere jugar, es simple y sencillamente el primer paso CONTINUA EN LA PAGINA 10

países han reportado casos y de acuerdo a estimaciones de las Organización de las Naciones Unidas, más de 2.4 millones de personas son explotadas actualmente. Luego de que las víctimas son rescatadas, inician su rehabilitación Sin embargo, este proceso generalmente se retrasa al tener que enfrentar a sus agresores en los juicios. Por lo tanto, la Fiscalía de San Diego, presentó una nueva iniciativa de ley en la que se pretende simplificar el procedimiento legal. “Es una ley que pretende que los jueces procesen casos que se llevaron a cabo en diferentes jurisdicciones, en una sola jurisdicción [en donde] hayan acordado. Esto ahorraría que las víctimas vayan a Orange County, Riverside, San Diego a testificar en múltiples ocasiones. Además ahorraría [dinero] a la corte porque solo se tendría un solo caso; así que se tendría un solo juez, un fiscal y un abogado”, manifestó Bonnie Dummanis, Fiscal de Distrito de San Diego. “Tengo a personas que me aman hoy, pero lo que anhelo es tener mi pequeña familia, un esposo, un bebé, tener una casa y levantarme cada mañana sabiendo que tengo que ir a trabajar e ir por mi niña a la guardería”, señaló “Samantha” una mujer que fue víctima de esta actividad ilícita. “Solo quiero una vida normal.” “Samantha” es una de las miles de víctimas de trata de personas. Ella logró huir de una pesadilla de la que creyó jamás poder despertar. “Nuestro [padrote] quería 500 dólares cada noche de cada una. Sí no habíamos ganado suficiente dinero, nos golpeaba, no comíamos, no dormíamos, nos mandaba de regreso, algunas veces estábamos en las esquinas hasta las 4 o 5 de la mañana”, confesó “Samantha“ víctima de trata de personas. Junto con otras seis chicas, “Samantha” vivió en más de 200 hoteles del Condado de San Diego y llegó a tener relaciones sexuales con más de 15 hombres en una sola noche. Esto continuó hasta que un día ella se armó de valor y logró escapar de su calvario. Grupos defensores de víctimas de trata de personas la recibieron con los brazos abiertos. Hoy, “Samantha” combate los fantasmas del pasado y trata de recuperarse. “Ahora estoy a salvo, ya van 4 ó 5 meses desde que me fuí, pero todavía tengo ansiedad, tengo miedo a veces. No confió en las personas. Tengo mis problemas y a veces mis momentos”, agregó Samantha. De acuerdo a un estudio realizado por el Departamento de Investigación de la Fiscalía de San Diego, más del 50% de las sexoservidoras que trabajan de manera ilegal en distintos puntos del Condado son obligadas a realizar estos trabajos. La mayoría, proviene de países sudamericanos y fueron trasladadas a la Unión Americana a base de engaños, en donde se les prometió un empleo y una mejor calidad de vida. De acuerdo al estudio, el año pasado, aumentó el número de víctimas que deciden no hablar por temor a ser asesinadas.

desde entonces. Poco a poco escaló peldaños y pudo recorrer distintas áreas de la empresa, desde los cimientos como practicante de verano, hasta el área de ventas, operaciones y mantenimiento de sistemas. Posteriormente, llegaría al área de Asuntos Gubernamentales, en la cual se ha desempeñado en los últimos 17 años, primeramente en Los Ángeles y ahora, como Vicepresidente Regional de Asuntos Externos en San Diego. Este cargo le ha permitido buscar cambios positivos en la comunidad, a través de organizaciones no lucrativas que desean hacer una diferencia. “Para la compañía es importante que los empleados no simplemente vendan los servicios, sino que apoyen a las personas y grupos que hacen algo por mejorar a la comunidad”, señala el residente de Chula Vista. Una de las principales campañas para AT&T, es el programa Aspire que en los últimos siete años, ha entregado fondos por más de 350 millones de dólares a nivel nacional para motivar a jóvenes a que ingresen y terminen la universidad.

Calling Talented Women in San Diego and Tijuana to the Dia De La Mujer Exhibition BY SUSANA VILLEGAS

Casa Familiar, a non-profit organization located in San Ysidro, California, invites talented women in San Diego and Tijuana/Baja region to participate in the ninth annual Dia de la Mujer (International Women’s Day) exhibition and celebration. The Dia de la Mujer exhibition and celebration will be held at Casa Familiar’s The Front gallery (147 W San Ysdiro Blvd., San Ysidro, CA 92173). Within eyesight of the U.S.-Mexico border with Tijuana, the exhibition is dedicated to the work of female artists, featuring more than 25 artists and more than 50 paintings, sculptures and photographs. The event will include an art, rock, and melodrama performance by artist Madame Ur from Tijuana Mexico. This year’s exhibition welcomes artists to explore and submit work around the theme of Play to Create. The deadline to submit applications and work is February 17th, 2016. The opening exhibit reception is on March 10th, 2016 at 6:00 pm at the Front Gallery. “The Dia de la Mujer Exhibition strives to be a safe space for women artists, to celebrate ourselves through art without fear and in our full glory,” said Luz Camacho, Director of Arts and Culture Programs at Casa Familiar.

“We hope that in creating artwork for this exhibition, participating artists find a unique process of playing and creating.” Judging this year’s exhibition is a distinguished panel of jurors: Melly Barragan, Visual Artist, Co-director of TJINCHINA ProjectSpace; Norma Iglesias Prieto, Professor and Chair of the Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies at San Diego State University; and Ginger Shulick Porcella, Arts Administrator and Curator and Executive Director of the San Diego Art Institute. An artists cash award will be given to First Place winner in each category. The amount of the award is decided by the artists themselves in that it is equal to 80 percent of the total of entry fees collected from submission of applications of that category. “The mission of Casa Familiar allows the dignity, power, and worth within individuals and families to flourish,” said Andrea Skorepa, CEO of Casa Familiar. “We are dedicated to enhancing quality of life through education, advocacy, service programming, housing and community economic development, and the arts.” For more information please call Luz Camacho at (619) 428-1115 or go to www. casafamiliar.org to download the application.

compañía busca apoyar a quienes anhelen incursionar en carreras relacionadas con ciencia y tecnología. Un estudio del Buró de Estadísticas Laborales, estima que para el año 2020 estarán disponibles cerca de 9.2 millones de empleos en las disciplinas de Ciencia, Tecnología, Ingeniería y Matemáticas (STEM). Por tal motivo, este programa busca proveer herramientas a estudiantes de escasos recursos para que aspiren a estas vocaciones que son consideradas “la economía del futuro” y en las cuales, se ve una pobre representación de profesionistas de grupos minoritarios como hispanos. En 2011, los latinos conformaban apenas el siete por ciento de los empleos en rubros científicos en Estados Unidos, según indican datos del Censo de población nacional. “Si vamos a mejorar el clima de negocios para el país es necesario que tengamos más estudiantes en estas carreras”, confía De la Torre. A nivel local, AT&T ha apoyado a jóvenes a través de organizaciones como Reality Changers, Interfaith Community Services y Barrio Logan College Institute por mencionar algunos. “Queremos que los jóvenes no solamente terminen la preparatoria sino que tengan

Caos: Es el anuncio de la creatividad que busca forma y Quietud: Es el ritmo de la paz, en el que existe la intensión o el sentimiento o el impulso de querer manifestar la Unidad. Como se ha repetido continuamente es una encomienda del Gobernador del Estado de Baja California, Lic. Francisco ¨Kiko¨Vega de Lamadrid, crear, impulsar y promover actividades que propicien la formación cultural y artística como un factor fundamental para fortalecer de manera positiva el tejido social. La artista argentina Kelly Satz, lleva más de 20 años danzando, tiempo en el que le ha dado permiso a su cuerpo para que exprese y se mueva. Es además la única Maestra certificada en toda Sudamérica para enseñar HEARTBEAT, el segundo mapa de los cinco ritmos. Su formación profesional la realizó en EE.UU. en 1993 en la escuela ¨The Moving Center School¨de Gabriele Roth, pionera y creadora de la disciplina que entrelaza: arte, meditación y movimiento, donde comenzó un trabajo de investigación y experimentación. Expresa Kelly Satz, ¨La práctica me enamoró y me cambió la vida. Me permitió estar en mi centro y ampliar la mirada. Poder permanecer en este estado, viviendo en el aquí y

el ahora, da la posibilidad de comprender que lo único que uno tiene es el momento presente y que la energía se debe concentrar en él¨. Gabrielle Roth, fue una bailarina profesional e hizo una gran contribución al mundo de la danza y la corporalidad, dedicó su vida a desarrollar el crecimiento personal y espiritual, para lo que inventó su: ¨Técnica 5 Ritmos¨, En otra nota el Instituto de Cultura de Baja California, está circulando una invitación a la comunidad a que participen en el nuevo curso de ¨Estimulación temprana en el arte¨ para bebés y niños pequeños, que ofrecerá el CEART en el primer semestre del presente año. José Aguirre Lomelí, Coordinador del CEART Tijuana, informó que se trata de un curso novedoso de estimulación temprana por medio del arte, en el que maestros expertos utilizarán música y danza principalmente para desarrollar habilidades físicas, intelectuales y sociales en bebés desde 0 años hasta niños que gatean y/o caminan. Las inscripciones están abiertas para este curso y muchos otros. Enrique Saint Martín, responsable de la Coordinación Académica del CEART, destacó que el arte y la cultura ayudan a formar un mejor individuo. Los cursos que se ofrecen son semestrales y comenzaron el pasado martes 2 de febrero y terminarán el próximo 10 de junio.

Faulconer y Saldaña se enfrentarán en los comicios primarios del 7 de junio, y si ninguno de ellos obtiene más

del 50 por ciento de la votación, habría una segunda ronda en la elección general de noviembre. “Él podría ganar en junio y si eso pasa, será mi última semana de clases y eso está bien, pero creo que San Diego merece más, merecen que su alcalde tenga oposición hasta noviembre”.

la oportunidad de hacer algo con su vida si es que quieren ir a un colegio comunitario o la universidad, al mismo tiempo sabemos que es necesario que se promuevan estas carreras”, mencionó. Otro de los programas que Ignacio de la Torre ha podido promover a nivel local durante su gestión, es la Academia de Mentores –que se desprende del programa Aspire-, con la cual jóvenes han visitado las instalaciones de la compañía para conocer la oferta de empleos que ésta ofrece. Se estima que desde la incepción de esta iniciativa, empleados de la compañía han proveído más de un millón de horas en tutorías a estudiantes en todo Estados Unidos. La labor comunitaria de Ignacio de la Torre se extiende más allá de AT&T, pues desde hace algunos años ha estado involucrado con otras organizaciones como Downtown San Diego Partnership, la Cámara Regional de Comercio de San Diego, United Way of San Diego County, Urban League of San Diego County y anteriormente, Chicano Federation.

organized an operation throughout the state in which undercover officers went to these illegal resellers posing as potential buyers, and then fined them. The investigation resulted in 93 fines and 68 warnings. They also seized 109 vehicles and arrested 4 individuals. In addition, a series of warnings were posted on the DMV website regarding the consequences of selling vehicles illegally and alerting would-be buyers so they will not fall victims to these illegal resellers. The San Diego District Attorney’s Office shared that whoever commits this crime can face severe consequences, up to and including jail time. “Over the years, our investigators have come across many of these cases, due to the fact that we border with Tijuana, Baja California, and many Tijuana residents come over for the sole purpose of buying cars on this side of the border”, stated Jesse Navarro, Director of Community Relations for the D.A. ’s Office. “They do the same illegal activity, but in Mexico; however, the punishments there are not as harsh. Every case is different, of course, but [illegal resellers] can get as much as 3 years in jail”, closed Navarro. For more information, please visit: www.dmv.ca.gov

Los productores de aguacate son otros que ya se están frotando las manos pues se calcula que el día del juego se consumirán, solamente en Estados Unidos, siete millones de libras de la mantequilla verde, o lo que es lo mismo, 79 millones de aguacates. Las alitas de pollo volarán el día del Super Bowl, 1.5 billones de piezas serán consumidas y las cadenas de pizzas se preparan para vender 11 millones de rebanadas. En total, los consumidores estadounidenses gastarán 12.5 billones de dólares en comida y bebidas para armar sus fiestas para ver el juego. Como se puede ver, el Super Bowl no es solamente un evento deportivo para determinar al campeón de la NFL, en realidad, los Súper Domingos se han transformado en parte muy importante del engranaje económico que mueve a este país.
