EL OBSERVADOR

A remarkable happening dur-ing the Democratic Presiden-tial candidate debate was a brief discussion of capitalism and socialism. Both candidates made comments about the pros & cons so embedded in American democracy. We may not know what we mean when we say ‘capitalism’. Essential elements are competition, free market, level playing field, and the role of the entrepreneur’s competitive spirit, creativ-ity and innovation. Hard work coupled with taking risks may determine success or failure. One might define capitalism in terms of capital (money) which enables transactions. Capitalistic concepts are used by entrepreneurs as the ba-sic profit oriented organizing principle. No one who wants to become a president in the United States of America will ever question capitalism. But

that is exactly what happened during the debate.

Bernie Sanders said, “Do I consider myself as part of the ‘casino capitalist process by which so few have so much and so many have so little? By which Wall Street, greed and recklessness wrecked this economy! No, I do not! I be-lieve in a society in which all do well, not just a handful of bil-lionaires.” Sanders is an advo-cate of ‘Democratic Socialism” which says it is immoral for the top 0.1% to own as much as the bottom 90%. It is wrong today, in a rigged economy, to have 57% of all new income going to the top 1%.” Sanders claims to be the only member of the U.S. Congress who is not a millionaire.

Hillary Clinton, the presump-tive Democratic Party presi-dential nominee, chimed in, saying, “When I think about capitalism, I think of all the small businesses that were started because in this coun-try we have the opportunity and freedom to do that. And to make a good living for our-selves and our families. I do not think we should confuse

what we have to do every so often in America, which is to save capitalism from itself. The U.S.A. has the job to rein in capitalism so that it does not run amok; does not cause eco-nomic inequities seen today.”

MSNBC moderator Melissa Harris Perry stated, “Nothing is more surprising than to have a conversation about capitalism now when economic recovery from the 2008 recession is still happening. The system under-girds our capitalist economy which kind of completely fell apart weeks before the 2008 election. We did not debate this issue then, nor in 2010 or 2012...about wealth inequi-ties when occupied Wall Street conversations happened. Why debate capitalism now when unemployment is just over 5% in the midst of a recovery. Not that things are far from perfect. We are no longer in a crisis mode about the domestic economy. Now is the appropri-ate time to debate capitalism to determine what is good for America. How is it that capital-ism is supposed to work?”Jeffrey Miron, Economist, Harvard University, respond-ed, “The crucial thing about

capitalism is that businesses are allowed to enter (the mar-ket) and try to do whatever they want. And they are al-lowed to fail. The government is never allowed to influence the balance in either direction (success or failure; profits or bankruptcy). Government is not bailing out failing busi-nesses with subsidies. Govern-ment allows the marketplace determine which businesses survive and which do not. When we do that we get the most efficient production: the most output per unit of input. The claim is that a very pro-ductive and healthy economy is the result.”

M.H. Perry: “It seems that part of what undergirds our econo-my is what is most efficient and functional. It has to do with ‘how they enter that market-place’; ‘how much information they have’; ‘how they make choices’ (take risks); and that is part of what capitalism may be good in theory, but is it dif-ferent in practice?”Which eco-nomic theory is to be applied to this American economy? What are the adjustments needed to ensure a reasonably dynamic economic equilib-

rium can be established ensur-ing two goals: a) a reasonable return on investments (ROI); and b) enabling living wages are paid to the least in the la-bor force? What can be done to ensure that access and oppor-tunity are available to anyone willing to work to achieve his/her goals?

Right now, the forces of greed, power, influence and special interests have run amok and need to be redirected towards ‘doing the greatest good for the greatest number”.

This coming election will de-termine where America is headed. The most important public policy issues are “fair re-distribution of wealth” and re-allocation of any and all entitle-ments. A functional economic paradigm is essential along with a national sense of doing what is right for all of us, not just a few. When all ethnic and low income citizens register to vote and actually vote, that political revolution trumps the influence purchased by bil-lionaire’s dark money. Vow to replace the ‘trickle down’ econ-omy with a new functional economic paradigm.

OCTOBER 30 - NOVEMBER 5, 2015

SCC Board President Dave Cortese has announced the 25 appointees (from a pool of 96 applicants) to serve on the Blue Ribbon Commission to Evaluate Jail Protective Custody Operations in Santa Clara County.

Retired Judge LaDoris

Cordell was appointed as this Commission’s Chairperson. This news conference held on Monday, October 26, 2015 is available for view-ing on Santa Clara County’s website.

“The commissioners ap-

pointed today came from a very qualified and diverse pool of applicants. It was very difficult to whittle that pool down,” said Supervisor Dave Cortese. “They were chosen for their unique per-

spectives that can move us toward a more holistic ap-proach to better serve and keep inmates, custody staff and visitors safe.”

The creation of this com-

mission was BOS approved on October 6, and all 96 applications were received through the 5:00 PM Octo-ber 16th deadline by the Clerk of the Board.

The urgent call to action comes in response to the beating death of mental health challenged inmate Michael Tyree on August 27 at the County’s Main Jail. Three correctional officers face murder charges in con-nection with his death.

The Blue Ribbon Commis-

sion will conduct a series of

public meetings to assess where the corrections system is now in terms of policies, procedures and operations and where it should be. The commissioners, which will meet for 120 days, will hear testimony from the public and experts. Chair Cordell will guide the commissioners to schedule public meetings and develop a work plan.

San Jose CALIFORNIA

This week thousands of students learned why completing high school improves their chances for later success, part of the message delivered by Ford Motor Company’s innova-tive Ford Driving Dreams tour at its first-ever stop in northern California.

Ford Motor Company Fund, the company’s philanthropic arm, kicked off the Ford Driv-ing Dreams Tour in San Jose at an inspira-tional pep rally in Yerba Buena High School on Tuesday October 27th, 2015. The tour is slated to impact 5,000 northern California students in schools with high Latino concen-

trations. Designed to motivate high school students to complete high school on time and pursue higher education, the program will also engage middle school students for the first time in the U.S.

“We are committed to playing an active role

in the community, helping level the playing field for students that want to succeed but lack the resources to do so,” said Jim Vella, president, Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services, at the kick-off event in Yerba Buena High School today. “With our lo-cal efforts through the Ford Driving Dreams Tour and the Palo Alto Research and Innova-tion Center, we continue to focus on educa-tion and innovation as our top priorities.”

The Ford Driving Dreams Tour presented a motivational pep rally, essay contest, and scholarships to high school students in four San Jose public schools. It is part of a long-term northern California community invest-ment launched by Ford and its dealers in June.

Former NASA astronaut Jose Hernandez

and nationally recognized empowerment speaker Roy Juarez, Jr., whose powerful story was featured in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Extraordinary Teens, kicked off the program at a pep rally at Yerba Buena High School. It was followed by motivational rallies at Andrew Hill High School, James Lick High School, and William C. Overfelt High School. All four schools are part of the East Side Union High School District. In partnership with the U.S. Hispanic Leadership Institute (USHLI), the California Tour will have im-pacted 4,000 high school students and 1,000 middle school students.

To underscore the importance of STEM ca-

reers, former NASA astronaut Jose Hernan-dez spoke to the high school students, inspir-ing the youth to develop an indomitable spirit when pursuing their dreams. A Stockton na-tive, Hernandez experienced spaceflight in a NASA mission and spent 13 days in orbit.

“I first got my dream as I hoed a row of sugar

beets in a California field with my parents,” said former NASA astronaut Jose Hernan-dez. “It took 12 tries to achieve my dream of becoming an astronaut. I am proof that with a good education, solid work ethic, and the right resources, any student’s dream – a dream that others may turn down the first 11 times – becomes a goal that can be fulfilled.”

In partnership with local Boys & Girls Clubs,

approximately 1,000 students from local

middle schools will participate in an essay con-test which encourages them to reflect on their studies and future careers. The essay contest will be open to the middle school students that attend the Boys & Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley, Fresno County, Marin and Southern Sonoma Counties, Monterey County, and Greater Sac-ramento. Prizes include gift cards and iPads.

The Ford Driving Dreams Tour was designed

by Ford Motor Company Fund to help Latino youth graduate on time and pursue higher education. Launched in 2012, the program has reached more than 30,000 students in Chicago, Indiana, Florida, Texas, and, most recently, Panama. Ford Driving Dreams initia-tives, including the Tour, have delivered more than $3 million in educational resources such as scholarships, college preparedness, tutoring programs, parental engagement, and motiva-tional activities.

The $1 million investment in northern Cali-

fornia includes education and community pro-grams. This investment is part of Ford Fund’s Operation Better World initiative. Launched in 2008, the Operation Better World framework enables Ford Fund dealers and other groups to collaborate on a strategic approach to philan-thropy and more effectively meet community needs. Ford’s latest investments in northern California brings the total community invest-ment amount to more than $4.5 million over the last 10 years.

Ford Motor Company Fund, the philan-

thropic arm of Ford Motor Company, invests more than $8 million a year in scholarships and other education initiatives. In addition to Ford Driving Dreams, Ford Fund educational programs include Ford Blue Oval Scholars, Ford Next Generation Learning, Ford College Community Challenge and the Ford STEAM Lab.

• Projected to impact 5,000 students in northern California, the Ford Driving Dreams Tour delivers scholarships and motivational activities to San Jose students.

• Former NASA astronaut Jose Hernandez, a Stockton native, inspires high school students with his story of resiliency through a 12-year pursuit of his STEM career.

• The Ford Driving Dreams Tour expands to the West Coast and includes middle school students for the first time in the U.S.

Jim Vella, President of Ford Motor Co. Fund was present at Yerba Buena High School to speak on the importance of education and Ford’s support of reaching their educational goals.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Las estadisticas muestran que la mitad de Latinos se encuen-tra en el nivel mas bajo de ingresos entre los retirados. Esta es en parte la razon por la que la AARP publico en internet una herramienta en espanol para calcular los costos del cuida-do de la salud durante el retiro.

La asociacion se baso en un informe de la Universidad de California en Berkeley, en el que se revela que los latinos mayores de 65 anos tienen el doble de probabilidades de vi-vir en la pobreza que los anglos, y los mayores de 80 son el grupo de retirados de mayor cre-cimiento en California. La herramienta que lanzo la AARP California esta en internet, esta en espanol y es de enorme utilidad para la planeacion personal. La calculadora permite prever los costos que habran de afrontarse por atencion de la salud cuando se alcance la edad de retiro, y con esta informacion poder planear y tomar decisiones.

Adriana Mendoza, directora de programas de enlace en la AARP California, dice que sus investigaciones muestran que los adultos lati-nos estan menos preparados que la mayoria de la poblacion para enfrentar los costos por la atencion de la salud.

“Mas de 7 de cada 10 latinos adultos entre 50 y 64 anos no han tomado medidas para planear sus costos del cuidado de la salud en

el retiro, mas caros que los de la poblacion en general.”

La herramienta gratuita en linea muestra como afectaran varias condiciones de salud en su presupuesto de retiro.

Anai Ibarra, Directora Estatal Asociada de Comunicaciones Interculturales en la A-A-R-P a comenta que frecuentemente, al planear su futuro, la gente asume su salud como algo seguro.

“Mucha gente piensa ‘Solo necesitare la cantidad que me permita vivir la vida que he llevado’. Pero no van a estar tan saludables como ahora.”

La herramienta en linea tambien ayuda a motivar a que la gente haga cambios en algu-nos aspectos de su estilo de vida, como dieta, ejercicio y reduccion del estres -que puedan conservarlos sanos- y asi reducir la cantidad que tengan que pagar mas adelante por la at-encion de su salud.

La Calculadora de Costos del Cuidado de la Salud, version en espanol, esta en: www.aarp.org/espanol/trabajo/planear-el-retiro/cal-culadora-costos-salud/?intcmp=AE-MON-RELBOX2-ART-ES

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Latinos age 65 and older are twice as likely as whites to live in poverty, and Latinos 80 and older are the fastest growing segment of retirees in California, according to a new report from the University of California Berkeley.

So the AARP has just released a new tool to help - an online health care cost calculator in Span-ish.

Adriana Mendoza, director of outreach programs for the AARP California, says AARP’s sur-veys show Latino adults are less prepared than the general public when it comes to health care costs.

“More than 7 in 10 Latino adults ages 50 to 64 have not taken steps to plan for health care costs in retirement,” she points out.

The free online tool shows you how various health conditions will affect your budget in retire-ment.

The AARP’s Anai Ibarra says people often take their health for granted when planning for the future.

“Many times they think, ‘All I need is the amount to live the life that I’ve been living right now,’” she says. “However, it is very important that they take into consideration that they are not going to be as healthy as they are right now.”

The online tool also helps motivate people to make the lifestyle changes, such as diet, exercise and stress reduction, that might keep you stay healthy and thus lower the amount you have to pay for health care later in life.

From pencils and paper to snacks and show-and-tell treasures — kids share virtually ev-erything at school. While parents agree shar-ing is a good skill for kids to learn, it’s certainly not the case when it comes to germs, particu-larly during cold and flu season. Germs are lurking everywhere and are simply unavoid-able. And where there are germs, there can often be sickness. That dreaded first cough, sneeze and sniffle surely brings about any-thing but joy in the home.

“Every parent has experienced those ‘ew’ moments where kids are kids and regard-less of what we do to keep them healthy, sick strikes,” says Dr. Nina Shapiro, leading pedi-atric doctor and mom of two. “I can certainly speak firsthand on those cringe-worthy mo-ments where the ew is simply unavoidable and the best way to battle it is by being pre-pared to get kids back on their feet – so you can get a little rest too.”

Here are Dr. Shapiro’s top tips for keeping kids and families healthy during cough, cold and flu season.

1. Sing the joys of washing hands well

Washing hands well is one of the most ef-fective ways to prevent the spread of illness, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Kids should regular-ly wash hands at home and at school. Make scrub time fun by singing while washing — the goal is to wash for 20 seconds, or about the amount of time it takes to sing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” once or “Happy Birth-day” twice.

2. Wrangle those hands and avoid the nose and mouth

Children have busy hands and those tiny fingers often end up in ew-filled places. It’s important to regularly remind kids to keep their hands out of their nose and mouth to help prevent the spread of germs. Seven in 10 school nurses cite unsanitary habits among children like nose picking or not washing their hands as the top cause for germs spread-

ing among kids at school, according to the recent SchoolNurse.com “Ew-dentification” survey conducted by the pediatric brands of Pfizer Consumer Healthcare.

3. Be a flu-buster and get vaccinated

It’s very likely at some point during the fall and winter season that your children will come in contact with the flu virus. This year’s vaccination is now available, so schedule an office visit for the whole family. The Ameri-can Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently updated their guidelines requiring children ages six months to eight years to receive two doses of the flu shot this season if they have received less than two doses of the flu vaccine prior to July 2015.

4. Ease aches and pains and rest, rest, rest

With flu season upon us, parents should be armed with an OTC pain reliever and fever reducer. When kids are more comfortable, they are able to get the extra rest their bodies need to fight off illness, ultimately also giving relief to worried parents.

5. Keep your wellness arsenal fully stocked

Flu isn’t the only sickness kids may en-counter. According to the survey of school nurses, colds, stomach bugs and coughs also frequently spread around schools. For cough and colds, an effective medicine (think Chil-dren’s Robitussin) offers relief by breaking up chest congestion and relieving coughs. If a child is suffering from cold symptoms some type of decongestant is great option for reliev-ing stuffy noses and ongoing sniffles. Stock up now so when sickness strikes, you are ready and your child can feel quick relief — no emergency trip to the store required.

6. Take a deep breath and use that humidi-fier

Every family should have a humidifier to get through the cold and flu seasons. By add-ing moisture to the dry air, you can help your child breathe easier, particularly at night when he or she is trying to sleep.

Preventing Annoying

Telemarketing Calls

NAPSI

While some recorded messages like flight delays or school closings are welcome, others are not. Robocalls, or unsolicited prerecorded calls and SPAM text messages from business-es or organizations, aren’t only annoying, but illegal under federal law if sent to your mobile device without your consent.

Some calls may ask you to press a number to be removed. Legitimate companies will ad-here to your request; however, some dishon-est organizations will call you even more.

Fortunately, wireless companies are working on easy ways, many times for free, to help you avoid robocalls.

What You Can Do

You play an integral role in stopping robo-calls.

If you get an automated call or text you didn’t sign up for to your cellphone, report it to the proper organizations and/or authorities.

Here’s how:

• Forward the SPAM text messages which are sent from a phone number to 7726 (or SPAM). This free text exchange with the car-rier will report the SPAM number and you will get a response from the carrier thanking you for reporting the SPAM.

• File a complaint for texts and/or voice calls with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or Federal Communications Commission (FCC) via their websites, ftc.gov and fcc.gov, or by calling the FTC at (888) 382-1222 or the FCC at (888) CALL-FCC.

By providing this information, you help stop these robocalls. The FTC and FCC have brought more than a hundred lawsuits against over 600 companies and individuals responsible for billions of illegal robocalls and other “Do Not Call” violations.

No More Robocalls

You may also add your wireless devices and landline numbers to the national “Do Not Call” registry, which would prohibit telemar-keters from calling these registered numbers. It’s at DoNotCall.gov.

Wireless companies have developed a num-ber of tools and features that help consumers block robocalls. Apps for the Android, Black-Berry, iOS and Windows operating systems are available that block unwanted calls and offer step-by-step instructions on how to block individual numbers.

There are other steps you can take, such as putting a “special information tone” that sig-nals a nonworking number at the beginning of your voice mail or answering machine mes-sage.

Learn More

You can view step-by-step video instruc-tions as well as lists of apps to further pro-tect yourself from unwanted robocalls from CTIA-The Wireless Association at http://ctia.it/1LK6gmf.

This past Friday, October 23, 2015 at Tressid-er Memorial Union’s Oak Room, Stanford University’s Alumni Association’s 21st Hall of Fame Installation occurred. About 250 proud family members, friends, and well-wishers were in attendance when Quan Phung, ‘92, Board member, Stanford Alumni Association began this 2015 Inductee program by making his brief welcoming remarks, He introduced Karen Biestman, Associate Dean of Student Affairs and Director, who proceeded to pres-ent:

Troy Walter Barbee, Jr., BS’59, MS’62, Ph.D.’65, Native American Cultural Center. Dr. Barbee is a Senior Scientist in the Mate-rial Sciences Division, Physical and Life Sci-ence Directorate of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory...a title that recognizes a lifetime of scholarly and professional achieve-ment dating back more than 50 years to Stanford. His legacy epitomizes Stanford ex-cellence and innovation, earning him recog-nition and widespread acclaim as “The Father of Atomic Engineering.” A prolific scholar, he has published over 300 peer reviewed techni-cal papers, written over 400 conference pa-pers, edited two books, and holds 26 patents. His list of exceptional awards reflects honor-able global scientific societies and the highest intellectual affiliations.

(He is) an enrolled member of the Quechan Indian Tribe, Fort Yuna Indian Reservation, Winterhaven, CA. Barbee was one of a very few Native (American) students at Stanford during the 1950’s and 1960’s. More than a decade before Stanford officially abandoned the Indian as a mascot, he represented Na-tive (American) identity with the highest ide-als of excellence and authenticity. He remains an active alumnus with his graduating class and is especially wed to his Native (American) community on campus where he continues to be an inspiration and motivator for genera-tions of students in multiple disciplines.

Barbee hold three Stanford degrees; a B.S. in physical metallurgy for the School of Earth Sciences, and M.S. and Ph.D in Material Sci-

ence and Engineering from the School of En-gineering. While at Stanford, he also earned athletics accolades on the gridiron in the 1956-58 season and on the rugby pitch as a Stanford player, 1955-65.

Dr. Frances Morales, A.M.’78, A.M.’81 and Ph.D.’82, Associate Dean of Student Affairs and Director, presented:

Reymundo C. Espinoza, ‘73, El Chicano y Latino, (who) served as the Chief Executive Officer of Gardner Health Services which provides comprehensive health care services to 58,000 low-income individuals in Santa Clara County. His visionary leadership, skills and passiion have been insrumental in trans-forming a single health center with a $6 million budget in 1995 to a health network estimated today at $50 million. Reymundo continues to assess community needs and advocate for primary health care services in multiethnic/cultural areas just as he did 40 years ago.

Reymundo, the son of immigrant migrant farmworkers, was the second student and the first Chicano from the Coachella High School to attend Stanford University. In 1969, 88 Mexican Americans were admitted to Stan-ford and Reymundo was one of 70 enrolled to make up 5% of the Freshman Class. Reymun-do understood the value of building commu-nity among the first generation college and worked tirelessly to promote social change on and off campus.

In addition to his bachelor’s degree in Po-litical Science from Stanford, Mr. Espinoza holds a Master’s Degree in Public Health from U.C. Berkeley, where he specialized in Hospital Administration. He is a board of the California Care Association and the Commu-nity Health Partnership of Santa Clara, both of which he co-founded, and an executive committee member of the Santa Clara Fam-ily Health Foundation of Santa Clara County.

Reymundo and his wife Beatriz have been married for 43 years and have two daughters, Dr. Soraya Esteva and Jasmin Estrada and four wonderful grandchildren.

Santa Clara County CALIFORNIA

Santa Clara County Parks is making one of its most important land acquisitions since it began securing park land back in 1924.

The County Board of Supervisors autho-rized the purchase this week of 27-hundred and forty eight acres that links Coyote Lake Harvey Bear Ranch and Anderson Lake County Parks to each other and links Henry Coe State Park, the largest recreational land holding in the California Park System result-ing in a potential future trail network linking these three parks.

The land is being purchased from Mr. Manou Mobedshahi for 25- million, one-hundred sixty thousand dollars. Remaining contingencies must be reached before the property is sold and transferred. This histori-cally important land purchase opens multiple gateways to the future for recreational oppor-tunities in Santa Clara County and the greater Bay Area. “Mr. Mobedshahi’s offer to sell his property presented an extraordinary opportu-nity for the County to add another 2,748 acres of parkland to the area,” said Board President Dave Cortese. “Even more significantly, it al-lows us to eventually link three parks that will provide more than 100,000 continuous acres of preserved land.” Mobedshahi who immi-grated to the US 37-years ago from Iran told County Parks officials, “I feel fortunate and blessed to make this sacred land available as

an amazing park that will forever serve the magnificent people of Santa Clara County and especially my favorite city Morgan Hill.”

The new purchase adds to a total of more than one-hundred and seven thousand acres of publicly owned and protected open space along the Diablo range. The range of eleva-tion is from 6-hundred to 22-hundred feet offering spectacular views of Santa Clara Val-ley and both Coyote and Anderson reservoirs and locally known Finley, Palassou, Sheep and Timber Ridges. Supervisor Wasserman says, “I’m excited about the recreational op-portunities this acquisition will provide our residents and to be able to preserve this prop-erty for future generations.”

The land will also offer a natural wildlife sanctuary for black tailed deer, mountain li-ons, rabbits, coyotes, bobcats and a variety of small birds and other mammals. The land acquisition will enable the future construc-tion of a 2.5-mile connection to the Bay Area Ridge Trail. Other benefits of the land pur-chase include expansion of County Park’s own extensive trail system offering more outdoor adventure activities for everyone from teenag-ers to seniors and future generations.

The Santa Clara County Parks and Recre-ation Department has provided recreational opportunities, beautiful parks and precious natural resources for Santa Clara County resi-dents for more than 50 years. This golden leg-acy has resulted in one of the largest regional park systems in the State of California.

Letter to EL OBSERVADOR: Received October 27, 2015

I trust Ladoris (Judge Ladoris Cordell, retired) to be objective, ethical and transparent. Totally. However, to have the sheriff (Laurie Smith) on the commission convened to investigate the toxic culture of the jails that she (Sheriff Smith) has had responsibility for is a direct conflict of interest. It is an effort at face saving for the county. At the very least, the sheriff should not be allowed to vote. Her presence alone may contaminate the proceedings.

Suzanne PotterCALIFORNIA NEWS SERVICE

The state’s $15.5 billion plan to build two 30-mile tunnels to divert water from the Sacra-mento Delta has been met with both backlash and enthusiasm.

Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla, executive director of a nonprofit called “Restore the Delta,” claimed the tunnels will do more harm than good.

“It will destroy the San Francisco Bay Delta Estuary, a tourism industry that’s tied to a healthy bay, and crab fisheries and salmon fisheries, a $5.2 billion agricultural economy in the delta, and will ruin the drinking water for close to a million people,” she said.

Barrigan-Parrilla argued that the state should scrap the tunnel plan and instead buy up parched land in the San Joaquin Valley, fallow it and get the water rights back so water dis-tricts can’t just resell the rights to delta water.

Nancy Vogel, deputy secretary for communications at the California Natural Resources Agency, said the twin tunnels are an important upgrade to the water infrastructure that would fix a problem with the current pumping system, which reverses the flow of water in certain channels and harms migratory fish such as salmon and delta smelt.

“The governor’s proposal is intended to improve the ecology in the delta for native fish,” she said, “and also to improve water supply reliability for much of the state.”

On average, Vogel said, about 5 million acre-feet of water a year is diverted from the delta, which supplies two-thirds of California’s population and one-third of the irrigated farmland.

Once the public comment period ends, the proposal will be revised and submitted to the multiple agencies for permits, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the state Water Resources Control Board and the National Marine Fisheries Service.

More information on the plan is online at baydeltaconservationplan.com.

Where do the leading Democratic candidates

for president stand on

environment issues?

Leslie Mazur, Hauppauge, NY

Doug Moss & Roddy Scheer EARTHTALK

President Obama, with his recent push to join the world in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, will be a tough act to follow on the environ-ment. But each of the Demo-cratic candidates has shown a willingness to continue

fighting the green fight and working with industry and other nations to rein in emis-sions and promote sustain-able development.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders stands out in terms of environmental commit-ment. He has been a vocal defender of the need for an international climate ac-cord, initially championing U.S. participation in 2000’s Kyoto Protocol, a climate pact that ultimately failed due to lack of participation by China and the U.S. Since then, he has remained one of the most outspoken ad-vocates for climate action in Congress. His current plat-form includes instituting a nationwide carbon tax and using the funds to finance the development of renew-able sources of energy. He would like to see the country move quickly toward “fos-sil fuel independence” and is advocating that at least 25 percent of U.S. energy come from renewable sources by 2025. He is against letting the Keystone XL pipeline cross the United States with Canadian tar sands oil. He would like to see the federal government cut subsidies to large animal “factory farms” and move that money toward stimulating the organic agri-culture sector. And he backs efforts to require labeling for any products containing ge-netically modified organisms (GMOs).

Frontrunner Hillary Clin-ton is no slouch on the envi-ronment, either. Like Sand-ers, she supported U.S. par-ticipation in the Kyoto Proto-col and has been outspoken about the need to address cli-mate change ever since. She terms the effort to achieve carbon neutrality nation-wide as our “modern Apollo moon shot” and would like the federal government to pledge $100 billion annu-ally to mitigate the effects of climate change. She recently came out in opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline, and shares Sanders’ desire for achieving 25 percent clean energy nationally by 2025. She is also pushing for more research and development in the alternative energy sector

paid for out of funds other-wise earmarked to subsidize Big Oil. Otherwise, Clinton generally supports efforts to conserve sensitive lands and protect endangered species, and has consistently backed efforts to beef up the Clean Air and the Clean Water acts.

The remaining candidates for the Democratic nomina-tion also boast strong envi-ronmental track records. As Governor of Maryland, Mar-tin O’Malley spearheaded a statewide effort to protect roughly a million acres of land around Chesapeake Bay to bolster waning blue crab and oyster populations. He supports helping the clean energy sector get off the ground to protect the envi-ronment and provide jobs, and wants to double the na-tion’s energy efficiency in just 15 years and get the U.S, off of fossil fuels fully by 2050.

For his part, former Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee supports increas-ing federal funds for fight-ing climate change and is a staunch opponent of drilling in Alaskan wildlife refuges. Historically, he has support-ed raising mileage standards, increasing public transporta-tion infrastructure, and fed-erally subsidized remediation for brownfields (contaminat-ed lands previously used for industrial purposes).

Environmental advocates have their fingers crossed that, regardless of the out-come of the 2016 elections, the U.S. can maintain the momentum of the Obama administration on climate and related issues.

4th Annual Halloween inspired music festival brings out the ghouls and fun in SoCal sun

Arturo HilarioEL OBSERVADOR

Fall is in full bloom, but this past weekend shone a beacon for fun in the sun.

With an eclectic palette of musicians and activities in San-ta Ana, California. Beach Goth 4 brought out artists such as The Growlers, Grimes, Juicy J and Sir Mix-A-Lot to the Observatory and its parking lot for a 2-day spectacle of ca-laveras, rock, rap and a Selena impersonator.

Beach Goth, a term mixing the goth style (essentially all black everything) and fun beach theme, was a brainchild of the Costa Mesa based band the Growlers. Their beach rock inspired style of music (which they dubbed “beach goth” style) and local popularity allowed the initially indie, DIY Beach Goth festival to propel itself from an intimate gath-ering of local talent, to a mid scale (and growing) music festival complete with carnival games, piñatas, black lights and face painting.

Interesting to note the price difference from $15 Beach

Goth 1 to around $50 a day for this years 2-day festival. With the price upping also comes a big change in talent. The Growlers, who played both days, Grimes, Die Ant-woord, Mac Demarco, Julian Casablancas +The Voidz, FIDLAR, Ghost, The Drums, Juicy J, Warpaint, Parlia-ment Funkadelic among many others took over Orange County to bring the fun and gothic-y times for all.

Thousands played dress up, (even the musical acts) as the big draw is the pre-halloween mood at the festival, and it was a fashion-forward event for sure. Countless skull painted faces, each with their own flair adorned the faces of attendees as they went from stage to stage, took pictures by art installations including a pair of big red lips, cartoon-ish drug paraphernalia piñatas, and a graveyard with a gi-ant hand making the “hang loose” hand gesture. A devoted following watched the Selena impersonator performance which took place at a small stage next to this hand.

Plenty of Wednesday Addams’, Pandas and hippies frol-icked in the warm weather this past weekend, listening to new hitmakers such as Mac Demarco, and tried and tested acts like Wanda Jackson, the 78-year-old “Queen of Rocka-billy” who’s performance was just as captivating as the punk music and rap acts.

Local LA band FIDLAR (Acronym for “F**k It Dawg, Life’s A Risk”), who were dressed as the manager with a long drawl from the film “Office Space”, were one of the most captivating performances. Their post punk rock as-

sisted with the crowd creating various mosh pits and even having everyone do something “weird”, sitting on the floor as the tempo of one of their songs got quicker, at which point he had everyone who was sitting jump up and resume their dancing/form of expression.

Prayers, a band from LA, fit right into the term Beach Goth. Dressed all in black, their harder edge of pop/synth is a marriage between Morissey and Metal (Take your pick). The lead singer, who is a sweetheart in person, has a per-sona on stage that says things like “I heard you say that I worship the devil. Well, you’ve got it all wrong, the. Devil. Worships. Me!” in a diva-esque dramatic fashion.

The plethora of costumes, people and music was a great feat which has popularized Beach Goth year after year. It is said that Beach Goth 5 might need to find a new home in Orange County to accommodate its growing size. All in all it might be a good idea in order to expand to more outside stages and bring back the carousel and rides there was in past years.

Beach Goth 4. A great time in the warm California sun. Don’t forget your black attire.

A Message from the Growlers:“Friends... We thank you for making Beach Goth 4 the

most perfectly weird, messy and chaotic party that ever was. It only exists because of you. People are Strange and

we love every last one of you See you next year!!!!”

Fúchila Freshners’ Ruben Dario Villa, cur-rently a Visual and Production Designer at Google Maps, had a revelation on the por-celain throne.

“I think the bathroom is the best place to think about great ideas, so I do it all the time. That’s where the idea came in. I love the word ‘Fúchila, if you understand it, you’re part of that group, you get it,” says the Santa Clara University grad, who earned degrees in both Sociology and Studio Art.

The term “Fúchila” is a Spanish slang term used when something is sketchy, foul or smelly. The irony of the title is a playful angle which is evident in the products themselves. “I love alliterations so that sort of worked out.”

Villa’s brand of air fresheners has an authen-tic cultural feel that oozes from the vibrant imagery of his ever expanding collection of latino life. From historical icons to entertain-ment legends, the range of Fúchila’s designs started with the input of the community.

This input and his own imagination helped shaped Villa’s goals and ambitions with the brand, and its simple but effective message. While stopped at a light he realized how many people had the same “little green trees” on their mirrors.

“All I wanted to do was give it its own flair, its own flavor. Something of a culture that I understand, that I’ve been brought up in. Why not create something that I’m going to identify with if I’m going to put it on my rearview mirror in my car. I want it to look cool, to be something I can identify with.”

After consulting with family and friends on the next step, to actually launch the brand and its products into the wild, was next. “It was an easy transition from idea to reality because it was so well received by my family and friends.” Thus on January of 2015 Fúch-ila started as a Kickstarter, initially shooting to raise $2500 “we ended up raising past that, over $3500 for our product, which was huge for us.”

As of now Fúchila is stocked in 24 physical locations from here to Chicago, as well as at art and car shows.

Fúchila’s first 6 designs “were very strategic, in the sense that I wanted to address part(s) of the cultura that I felt would be generation-ally and culturally specific spots I wanted to hit.”

And thus, Selena was always one of the first ideas. “I knew I had to do her. My generation, older generations and even younger ones still remember and still feel moved by her.”

Artist Frida was next up, then a Calavera, Mexican movie star Cantinflas, Lucha Libre legend El Blue Demon. Mexican revolu-tionary Pancho Villa, (family ties essentially make Pancho Villa Ruben’s Great-Uncle) rounded up the cast of initial air fresheners.

Of the initial batch the most well received was the Selena air freshner. After trying to get an official license from her father Abra-ham Quintanilla several times, Villa was de-nied the request. As of now the most sought after Fúchila is discontinued, although Villa plans to return to the idea and essence of Selena without getting into any legal issues.

More over, his designs are tailored to edu-cate people as well tingle their senses. “I try and keep it very informative and educational because i just think thats part of my respon-sibility as a Latino business owner, to con-tinue that legacy. No one is telling our story the way we can tell it. The best way to get our story out there is for us to do it.”

Eventually Villa plans to accessorize the brand further, always involving scent or the automobile. such as candles tailored to the Fúchila brand and aesthetic.

Another future vision is a bathroom read-ing book, for “when you’re chilling in the bathroom” says Villa. The working title is “Dichos and Designs” essentially a “dicho”, a parable or a fairy tale you heard growing up, and a design inspired by aforementioned dicho.

All in all this experience has taught him a lot more about his community, himself and ultimately what it means to be a latino in the hybrid world of the United States. He is defi-nitely pleased and humbled by the reactions he continues to get, and will push forward with the brand as long as his ideas remain fruitful. “Fúchila as a company will continue to grow, get more wholesalers, get the inter-est of chain stores. As I live the hybrid life the entrepreneur and the corporate worker, I’ve got to balance it anyway I can.”

He ends by adding “gracias to everyone who has supported me especially my fam-ily and my wife, the community at large, really all of California. Thank you for those that have seen what I was trying to do, the vision of spreading the culture, continuing the traditions and making sure our icons are designed for us, by us.”

(In a seperate quote box?)“If you put something in your rearview

mirror you don’t put something up there you don’t care about, you put something that represents you, that’s important. It’s always something that means something.”

FRISCO, Texas - The San Jose Earthquakes fell to FC Dallas 2-1 at Toyota Stadium on Sunday evening, closing out their 2015 season. The Quakes finished the year with a 13-13-8 record (47 pts.), more than doubling their win total from a season prior (six). San Jose also finished with a +2 goal differential, tied for ninth best in Major League Soccer. The loss was just the Quakes third since the middle of August, finishing the year with a 6-3-3 record over their last 12 matches dating back to August 14.

The Earthquakes nearly got on the board after just 11 min-utes. Midfielder Shea Salinas intercepted a pass and fed for-ward Chris Wondolowski into the box. Wondolowski laid the ball off for forward Quincy Amarikwa, whose one-on-one at-tempt was saved by goalkeeper Jesse Gonzalez.

Just two minutes later, Amarikwa created another chance and found the back of the net. Receiving a long ball over the top, Amarikwa muscled two defenders off the ball be-fore calmly slotting his left-footed attempt past Gonzalez. It marked his sixth goal of the season, with all six coming away from home.

FC Dallas drew level in the 38th minute. After a ball was played across the six-yard box, a scrum ensued with mid-fielder Mauro Diaz eventually playing it past Quakes keeper David Bingham.

In the 52nd minute, the Quakes nearly retook the lead. An out-swinging corner kick by Matias Perez Garcia was met in the air by Wondolowski, whose glancing header missed just wide of the far post.

San Jose fell to 10 men when Perez Garcia was shown a straight red card in the 67th minute.

Thirteen minutes later, FC Dallas took advantage of the extra man and tallied a second goal when midfielder Victor Ulloa was played in by Fabian Castillo and slid the ball inside the near post.

Barracuda finished the month of October with a 2-3-0-1 record

Look Back:The San Jose Barracuda (2-3-0-1, 5pts, .417%) presented by

Barracuda Networks chomped one out of a possible six points last week (0-2-0-1) in three games. San Jose extended their point streak to three games (2-0-0-1) with a 3-2 shootout loss vs. San Diego on Oct 21 but had the streak snapped in a 3-0 loss to the Gulls on Oct 23. The Barracuda wrapped up the week with a 3-0 loss in Ontario on Oct 24.

Bryan Lerg (1-1-2) led the way offensively for the Barracuda and received his 2nd NHL recall of the season after the game on Oct 21. Scott Timmins scored the 1st shorthanded goal in franchise history on Oct 21. Goaltenders Aaron Dell (45 saves, 4GA) and Troy Grosenick (40 saves, 3GA) each stood their ground in between the pipes for the Barracuda. Defen-seman Dylan Demelo made his SJ Barracuda debut on Oct 21 after beginning the season with the Sharks.

Mirco Mueller, Bryan Lerg, John McCarthy, and Micheal Haley all received NHL recalls last week to the San Jose Sharks but are all currently with the Barracuda as of Oct 27. Forward Adam Helewka was released from his ATO on Oct 25 and returned to Spokane in the WHL.
