Let’s Celebrate National Night Out

(Sacramento Calif.-)”This is the darkest day for Californians as we

vote in favor of drastic cuts. The compromise hasbeen made - on the shoulders of college students,poverty-stricken children, the unemployed, dis-abled, elderly, the sick and the poor. On our worsteconomic day in California we are still the eighthlargest economy in the world and we have decidedto abandon the most vulnerable in our society. Icannot in good conscience support this budget.Weshould have the responsibility of careful analysison the human and economic costs of cutting $30billion from education, higher education access,and healthcare for vulnerable populations. We arecreating a two-tier system in our society. Weshould have the responsibility of truly asking ALLof California to share the burden - and this wouldinclude closing egregious corporate tax loopholesand asking oil companies to pay their fair share.We should have responsibility to local government

in preserving funding allocations,” said SenatorGilbert Cedillo who voted against the budget plan.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a$24 billion budget solution that includes $16.1 bil-lion in spending reductions. Because the entirebudget package was not approved, the Governorused his veto pen to eliminate an additional $489million in spending, which will leave Californiawith a $500 million reserve.

“This is not an easy budget, but it is a neces-sary budget that does not raise taxes, solves the $24billion dollar deficit and includes long-term re-forms,” said Governor Schwarzenegger. “I see thereal Californians that will be affected by the deci-sions made within this budget and nothing guar-antees revenues won’t drop further, but this budgetputs us on a path toward fiscal responsibility so wecan focus on bringing jobs back to get Californiamoving forward again.”

Humane Race Relations:The Foremost Issue

By Hilbert Morales, EL OBSERVADOR

El conocimiento delos derechos labo-rales es un tema

de suma importancia, espe-cialmente para los migrantesque viven en los EstadosUnidos, ya que muchos em-pleadores se aprovechan de la

situación migratoria de sus trabajadores y del pococonocimiento que éstos tienen sobre las leyes quelos amparan. Los Consulados de México tienen laobligación de velar porque estos derechos sean re-spetados, a través de su relación institucional conautoridades, sindicatos, y a través de la red de abo-gados especialistas en la materia.

Sin duda, hay mucho por hacer para que estosderechos se cumplan. La responsabilidad es com-partida entre el empleador que tiene la obligaciónde respetar la ley, y el trabajador que también debeestar informado y así poder exigir sus derechos.Lamentablemente demasiados trabajadores aceptancondiciones de trabajo que los perjudican, porquecreen que debido a su situación migratoria irregularno tienen esos derechos, o que no pueden pelear porellos y son víctimas de abusos por parte de los em-pleadores.

El conocimiento de sus derechos laborales porparte de los trabajadores es un paso esencial para sudefensa. A continuación enunciamos algunos de losmás importantes:

1. Tienen derecho al salario mínimo que es-tablece el Estado de California, de siete dólares concincuenta centavos por hora.

2. Después de trabajar una jornada de ochohoras, tienen derecho al pago de horas extras.Cualquier hora laborada después de una jornada dediez horas, se debe pagar doble.

3. Si se trabaja el séptimo día, toda hora se debepagar doble.

4. Si trabajan para un contratista, tienen derechoa que se les pague semanalmente.

5. Si los despiden, de inmediato se les debepagar lo que se les debe. Si renuncian voluntaria-mente, tienen derecho a que se les pague lo que seles debe, a más tardar tres días después de que de-jaron de trabajar.

6. Un lugar de trabajo seguro y sin peligros. Siusted necesita equipo especial para protegerse, elpatrón tiene la obligación de proporcionar de man-era gratuita a los trabajadores dicho equipo y lasherramientas necesarios para desempeñar su tra-bajo.

7. El patrón debe proveer a los trabajadores desanitarios limpios en el lugar de trabajo.

8. Los trabajadores tienen derecho a un des-canso pagado de diez minutos por cada cuatro horasde trabajo, y por cada cinco horas laboradas, mere-cen media hora para comer, sin pago.

9. Recibir una indemnización cuando se las-tima por un accidente laboral.

Si usted requiere orientación en materia laboral,contacte al sindicato que le corresponda o acuda alConsulado General de México en San José.

While it is unfortunate that Har-vard Professor Henry LouisGates, an African American,

and (white) Cambridge Police Sgt. JamesCrowley had that encounter in the livingroom of Gates’s home, the event would neverhave been discussed nationally if PresidentBarack Obama had not made his unfortunate‘stupid’ comment. What first happened isthat a neighbor of Gates saw two men forc-ing Professor Gates’ front door open. A du-tiful Cambridge citizen phoned the police.Was this neighbor guilty of ‘racial profiling’?The police 911 tape does not report the raceof the two men.

Now it happens that President Obama isa friend of Prof. Gates, so when asked at theend of that press conference about this inci-dent, one can project that the President forgothe was speaking as the first African Ameri-can President. He revealed his humanenessby slipping into supporting his friend by stat-ing that the Cambridge police acted ‘stu-pidly’. I was watching this press conferenceon TV and immediately sensed that the Pres-ident had ‘misspoken’. The President is anaccomplished intellectual who has “Livedwhile Black” for 48 years and has been ac-cused of being ‘unpresidential’. To his credit,later he apologized for adding to this alreadyemotionally charged situation.

Now recall that these days the mainagenda for the Obama Administration is thecurrent Congressional legislative effort onComprehensive Health Care Reform beingdebated. This Gates/Crowley encounter im-mediately distracted the mainstream mediafrom that legislation to this incident being

characterized as a ‘racial incident’ or a ‘po-lice profiling’ incident. Let me suggest thatthis highly publicized encounter is a ‘humanrelations’ incident because the American so-ciety needs a more comprehensive perspec-tive that helps it resolve the implicitovertones involved which include racism,police profiling, social class, and authority &power issues. When that policeman enteredthe living room equipped with a handgun,baton, and possibly a taser, Professor Gatesexhibited his ‘implicit bias’ as much as Sgt.Cowley exhibited his ‘police authority’ bias.

Understanding this is very important forthe communities of color because they allhave experienced these very same issues. Lo-cally, the San Jose Police Department hasbeen documented for awarding Hispanics toomany ‘public intoxication’ arrests. The Cali-fornia Department of Corrections (the prisonsystem) presently incarcerates more Hispan-ics and African American than any other eth-nic groups. Santa Clara County jails have toomany Hispanic occupants. Keep in mind thatinmates never are incarcerated unless ar-rested by police; convicted by district attor-neys who prosecute these individuals in thecourts having jurisdiction, tried, found guilty,and a sentence assigned. Does the justicesystem and process in our nation have an im-plicit bias? Too many times the force of au-thority coupled with power disrupts thecapacity of those directly involved to appro-priately communicate with clarity, humanecompassion and understanding.

Do recall that the recent Judge Sonia So-tomayor Supreme Count Senate hearingswere an excellent example of these same is-

sues coupled with gender bias. Time andagain, Sotomayor’s critics refused to con-cede the following: That how we think, whatwe see, how we reason and react are directlyrelated to who we are. And our race, ethnic-ity, gender, social class and economic statuscondition some of whom we are.

The issues of prejudice and bias coupledwith statistics have contributed to ‘implicitpersonal biases”. In addition, the issue of‘racism’ needs clarification through candidopen forum discussion by all. Is it possibleto discuss this incident in terms of basichuman relations that we all can agree with,support and practice? There is a double stan-dard in our society that establishes a classsystem of dealing with others. So many in-dividuals of color are involved in the serviceindustries (e.g., janitors, hotel maids, farm-workers, etc.) that result in an implicit bias,which many unconsciously accept and use.It is time that all look into their personalmakeup to determine if an implicit bias ex-ists. If it does, one has to become awareenough to deal with it constructively.

The value of this incident is that it placedracism on the table for all to view. We allneed to treat others with respect and cour-tesy. Resolution requires understandablecommunication coupled with appropriatelevels of ethics, morals, and religious con-victions. The issue of race relations is alwayswith us, so let’s begin to deal with its miti-gation by having a commitment to deal withit as a person, then as a community, andmaybe we will get to a national resolution.Humane race relations is the foremost issueof our times.Δ

Water is a precious resource,which we depend on for sur-vival. However, over consump-

tion for personal, industrial, and agriculturalpurposes is depleting this natural resource. Lessthan 1% of Earth’s water is available for humanneeds, regardless of dry or wet seasons. OnMarch 24th, Santa Clara Valley Water Districtimposed a mandatory 15% reduction in wateruse for Santa Clara County after declaring athird year of drought. While we applaud this de-cision, sustainable measures need to be imple-mented to make water conservation a viableway of life.

By the year 2020, county water use is ex-pected to increase 1% annually due to popula-tion growth in San Jose. Beyond this year, thecounty will need to draw from groundwater re-serves, even during years of normal precipita-tion, unless permanent water conservationmethods are in place. Water conservation, as away of life, does not demand drastic lifestylechanges. Rather, it calls for meaningful actionsat the individual, community, and policy levels.

As individuals, we can replace water-wast-ing toilets with ultra efficient 1.28 gallon perflush toilets and water our lawns twice weeklyin the early morning or evening hours. Contactthe Water Conservation Hotline, (408) 265-2607, or your local water retailer to inquire

about water conservation programs and rebates.As a community, we should request that publicpools be covered when not in use, minimizingexcess water evaporation, and report all signif-icant water losses to the local Water Manage-ment District. As citizens, we must engagegovernment to enact policy change requiring allhomes to pass water efficiency inspections priorto closing escrow, and ensure all new homesand businesses have ultra low-flow shower-heads and toilets. Additionally, the Water Con-servation Landscaping Act should be amendedto place restrictions on landscaping for newmulti-family, commercial, and institutional con-struction.

Water is our most precious resource. It iscrucial to our continued survival that we pre-serve our remaining supplies by making lastingchanges to guarantee its availability. Conser-vation requires careful, deliberate actions, be-ginning with our community, our stategovernment, and with each of us. Join us infighting for our future.

Got Water...For Now


By Osvaldo CastilloEl Observador

In 2007, San Jose Mayor Chuck Reedreleased his Green Vision. It is a 15-year plan aimed at reducing San Jose’s

carbon footprint and boosting the economythrough environmental practices.

A year later, San Jose was recognized bythe U.S. Department of Energy for its commit-ment and development of solar technologies.That same year, Reed made the switch from atraditional gasoline car to his more fuel-effi-cient Prius.

On Wednesday, July 29, 2009, Mayor Reedcontinued his commitment for a “greener” SanJose by switching from traditional powersources to clean and renewable energy by in-stalling a Solar Voltaic System in his home.

“It is important to lead by example,” Reedsaid. “Installing this system makes both envi-ronmental and economic sense.”

The mayor will be financing an 18-yearplan and hopes to save approximately 80 per-cent the cost of his electricity bill.

“I put down $1,500 for the installation,which is a fraction of the total cost,” Reed said.

Akeena Solar is the solar energy company

that Mayor Reed chose to hire to install solarpanels in his home.

“They seemed to have the simplest plan andseemed more reliable,” Reed said.

Barry Cinnamon, CEO of Akeena Solar,said the company was excited to work withMayor Reed on his solar home project.

“The mayor is showing great leadership byinstalling these solar panels onto his home,”Cinnamon said.

Cinnamon added that the system that themayor purchase was a standard system thatanyone could purchase through different pay-ment plans.

“The system is very inexpensive and overtime more people will be able to afford it,” Cin-namon said.

In the past, solar technology was expensiveand there were not many supplies to build solarpanels.

“The shortage of supplies has gone awayand we hope that more homes and businesseswill use this technology in the days to come,”

There’s good news for parents who want to domore to help keep their family healthier.There are simple, practical steps they can

take to help fight and prevent common infections.According to the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention andControl, more than 200,000 children ages 14 andyounger are treated for playground-related injuries an-nually.

Having first-aid essentials on hand, both in and out-side your home, will help you be better prepared. Hereare some tips:

Steps to Better HealingEven the most minor cuts and scrapes can be eas-

ily contaminated with dirt and germs, which can lead topainful infections.

To properly treat minor wounds, always be sure tofollow these simple steps:

• Clean: Thoroughly clean the affected area withmild soap and water.

• Coat: Treat your wound with long-lasting infectionprotection such as Neosporin First Aid Antibiotic Oint-ment. Studies show that using this kind of ointment anda bandage helps heal minor wounds faster than with abandage alone.

• Cover: Protect the wound from further damage bycovering it with a bandage.

Preventing Injuries on the Playground According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety

Commission, more than three-quarters of school-relatedinjuries occur on public playground equipment. Many ofthese injuries can be prevented by following these sim-ple rules:

• Supervise children at all times.• Establish rules about behavior.• Ensure that children are playing with children in

the same age range and with age-appropriate play-ground equipment.

When minor injuries do happen outside the home,have on-hand bandages and a topical antibiotic or an-tiseptic spray.

Expired Medicine CabinetMedicine cabinets should be stocked with up-to-

date first-aid supplies. Unfortunately, they often becomea wasteland of expired products that may lose their po-tency over time.

Consider organizing your medicine cabinet shelvesaccording to the product’s shelf life, grouping togetherproducts based on the expiration dates. Check all datesregularly and restock as necessary.

For more information, visit www.neosporin.com.To properly treat minor wounds and prevent infec-tion, follow the Three Cs: Clean, Coat and Cover.
