Housing Related Parks Program AwardsCity learned that it will receive $2,978,600 to assist with the completion of the construction of a park in the Tamien neighborhood and to acquire a property at Alum Rock and 3,1st Streets for a future park. HRPP is funded by Proposition 1C (the Housing and Emergency Shelter Trust Fund Act of 2006), which was approved by the voters in 2006 and provided $2.85 bil-lion for a� ordable housing and related infrastructure. HRPP funds provide an incentive for local governments to build a� ordable housing by providing grant awards for parks and park facilities when a locality approves the de-velopment of new a� ordable homes.

CSLB Warns Consumers about Deceptive Home Improvement Of-fers, Contract Cancellation Rights� e California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) is urging consum-ers to be aware of home improvement o� ers by individuals who use un-ethical business practices to gain entry into their homes, and then use illegal, high-pressure sales or scare tactics to up-sell unneeded services or equip-ment. Many of the complaints CSLB is receiving are from older adults who are falling victim to unscrupulous operators who make promises of low-cost equipment service over the phone, only to have onsite technicians make false statements that persuade them to increase their purchase. Only the licensed contractor or salespeople for a contracting company who are reg-istered with CSLB are authorized to sell additional services or work.

Water quality lab aces profi ciency test� e Santa Clara Valley Water District’s Water Quality Laboratory achieved a perfect score of 100 percent on the recent pro� ciency testing from the Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP). Administered under the provisions of the Health and Safety Code of the California De-partment of Public Health, the ELAP requires environmental laboratories to participate in a bi-annual pro� ciency test where individual labs are evalu-ated on each test performed. � e water district’s Water Quality Lab tested perfectly on the 353 tests performed on regulated and unregulated con-taminants.

El Líder del Senado sobre la nominación de Mariano-Florentino Cué-llar para el Tribunal Supremo de California El Presidente del Senado de California Darrell Steinberg, en una visita de investigación a Centro América, emitió la siguiente declaración sobre el nombramiento de Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar al Tribunal Supremo de California: “Al tiempo que la situación humanitaria entre Estados Unidos- México da inicio a un demarcado debate sobre ‘nosotros’ y ‘ellos’, el nom-bramiento hecho por el Gobernador, de Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar al Tribunal Supremo del Estado, sirve como un recordatorio de que nuestro Estado Dorado el cual fue forjado por comunidades inmigrantes con dispa-ridades, empujo fronteras y  juntos, reconocieron una fuerza común dentro de la diversidad.

¡VAMOS A GOZAR!

It pains me to hear the misunderstanding and ig-norance regarding ‘Deferred Action on Child Arrival’ (DACA), which applies to undocumented individu-als who, as minors, were brought into this nation ille-gally by their parents. DACA is the policy which only ap-plies to those individuals who have been in this nation for the past seven years.

Why demonstrate against those busses which were transferring illegal immi-grants from overcrowded detention facilities in Texas and Arizona to a facility in Murietta, CA? These un-documented individuals were already in the custody of the Department of Home-land Security, which was at-tempting to relocate them to an uncrowded facility. The emotion and commotion created by those anti-illegal immigration advocates was countered by those who ad-vocate a humane approach to resolving the decision to deport or to allow, an un-documented individual child (a minor, or mother) to stay in this nation as a refugee. Each individual case must be decided on its own merits. That is ‘due process’. There is no ‘uniform cookie cutter ap-proach’ to this human situa-tion.

let’s encourage residents especially registered vot-ers, to redirect their frustra-tion and anger towards the U.S. Congress which has not earned its salt lately. The U.S. Senate has passed its version of a proposed Comprehen-sive Immigration Reform bill. The House of Repre-sentatives, controlled by its Republican majority, with

Speaker Boehner as its leader, has already announced that no action on Comprehensive Immigration Reform will be considered during the cur-rent U.S. Congressional ses-sion. This coming november 4, 2014 Election Day, voters need to remember that many current members of the U.S. Congress have not performed their duties lately.

It also pains me to hear the ‘blame game’ on major news networks. Until the U.S. Congress crafts the Com-prehensive Immigration Reform legislation (which means that both the House and Senate have agreed), then there is no bill to be presented to the President for his signature. As long as the U.S. Congress does not craft legislation on this pub-lic policy matter, the only option left is for the Obama Administration to deal with the present crisis in terms of executive orders,which com-ply with existing law and regulation pertaining to im-migration matters. That is what President Obama, as CEO, recently announced that he would do.

let us not forget the U.S. Congress has the power of the purse. If it does not allocate funds to underwrite admin-istrative actions of Citizen’s & Immigration Services (CIS) sector of the Department of Homeland Security, visas will expire and/or administrative actions take many years to be done. That is one reason why there are many undocu-mented residents here who became discouraged with the present ineffective’system.

Has anyone calculated the waste of time, treasure and human suffering resulting from having this current ‘broken immigration sys-tem’? The Border Patrol has been augmented along the U.S. border with Mexico. This alone, has not dealt with the problem.

It is time, as a fi rst step, to just deal with this needed

‘Comprehensive Immigra-tion Reform’ legislation along with enough funding to underwrite that humon-gous backlog of documen-tation. The undocumented need legal status in order to eliminate the exploitation going on now.

Many are now saying what they have been thinking for some time. Those thoughts involve the ‘not so subtle rac-ism’, nationalism, and hatred of certain ethnic groups (usu-ally people of color).

What is needed is to have each elected member of the U.S. Congress ask them-selves if their bias, prejudice, or campaign fund donation is more important than fi x-ing this broken immigration system. As a nation of im-migrants, America must do the ethical and moral ‘right thing. Reform legislation will be imperfect at fi rst, but it will be adjusted as it is imple-mented. And it must receive the monitoring required to ensure that its opponents do not hamper its implementa-tion.

The focus this past week has been on those women and children arriving at our border without resources and documents. Coyotes are allegedly getting $5,000 per child. Who is going af-ter these criminal human traffi ckers? Should we, or Mexico, or Central America countries?

During its August recess, tell your local member of congress how disappointed and frustrated you are. Their ‘posturing games’ resolve nothing. Understand that the resolution of DACA and all immigration issues (both policy and funding) begins with the U.S. Congress.Tell them you will remember when you vote this coming Election Day, Tuesday, no-vember 4, 2014. Fulfi ll your responsibility with your vote then. ‘We the People’ must be heard about this and several other public policy matters.

OPINION

Luisa Fernanda Montero

lA RED HISPAnA la dramática situación

que viven las decenas de ni-ños que llegan a los estados fronterizos diariamente es el refl ejo patente de la despro-porción a la que ha llegado el fenómeno migratorio en Estados Unidos. y a pesar de todo en el congreso no pasa nada.

la crítica situación de po-breza y violencia rampante en los países centroamerica-nos sigue expulsando niños inmigrantes que buscan en el norte darle un rumbo distin-to a sus vidas; lejos del asedio de las pandillas y el miedo.

Pero la realidad es que al llegar al país de los sueños, corriendo los conocidos peligros del desierto y sus trafi cantes de vidas, no en-cuentran más que un refugio temporal, la antesala a un proceso de deportación.

y eso es lo único claro, que quienes ingresan ilegalmen-te al país, aun cuando sean menores de edad, deberán someterse al rigor de la ley.

O, en otras palabras, como lo dijo Jeh C. Johnson, Secre-tario de Seguridad nacional, en su carta abierta a los pa-dres de los niños que cruzan la frontera, enviar a los niños ilegalmente a Estados Uni-dos no es la solución.

y es que sólo en el mes de mayo 9 mil niños cruzaron la frontera sin la compañía de uno de sus padres y en lo que va del año ya son más de 47mil, la mayoría provenien-tes de Honduras, El Salvador y Guatemala.

El asunto es que, al parecer, rumores mal infundados de que los niños que llegaren a Estados Unidos se benefi cia-rían del Programa de Acción Diferida para la niñez, cono-cido como DACA, dispara-ron el número de menores de edad queriendo ingresar al país. ¿Quiénes son los más

benefi ciados? los trafi cantes de personas.

Para que un menor sea ele-gible para obtener los bene-fi cios de DACA debe haber llegado a los Estados Uni-dos antes del 15 de junio de 2007. En otras palabras, nin-gún niño que ingrese al país por la frontera será conside-rado bajo ningún tratamien-to especial, bajo ninguna ley vigente o futura, ya que, in-cluso, el proyecto de reforma que cursa en el congreso con-templa extender este plazo a menores que hayan ingresa-do antes del 31 de diciembre de 2011, es decir hace más de dos años y medio.

y de acuerdo con la misiva del secretario de seguridad cualquier persona que sea aprehendida cruzando la frontera ilegalmente es sujeta a deportación, sin considera-ción de su edad.

Así las cosas, no hay alter-nativas. los padres, que tie-nen a sus hijos lejos, en países donde la violencia callejera es pan de cada día, no tienen al-ternativas.

Habría alternativas, claro, si los gobiernos fuesen efi -cientes en la aplicación de políticas humanas en lo que a inmigración se refi ere, pero es bien sabido que eso no es así.

Que los niños adquieran el estatus de refugiados para poder permanecer en el país es la alternativa que han planteado diversos grupos de defensores de derechos hu-manos que lidian con la crisis humanitaria en la frontera por estos días.

Cierto es que si existieran leyes justas, esos padres que hoy se ven obligados a poner en riesgo la vida y la seguri-dad de sus hijos, probable-mente serían ciudadanos, y podrían acogerse al ritmo de la ley para reunifi car su fami-lia. Pero dichas leyes no exis-ten, y el régimen inhumano e inefi ciente que rige las inmi-graciones en este país sigue esperando por una reforma que reposa en las gavetas del congreso. Pero al parecer, ya nada nos conmueve.

¿Ya nada nos conmueve?

One of the biggest worries for a small business owner is training and investing in quality employees and then losing them to a larger com-pany - potentially a competi-tor - that might be able to offer larger salaries or better benefits.

It might look like a no-win scenario for a small business to entice quality employees to stay, except for one factor - engagement. When employ-ees are engaged in the com-pany business, they’re less likely to jump ship, they’ll be more productive and they’ll make the company more money, according to a Hay Group Study.

How can a small business owner encourage his em-ployees to become more en-gaged in the company? Con-sider the following drivers of engagement:

* A sense of value: Employ-ees who feel valued tend to be fully engaged in a company’s goals and help achieve big milestones. Supervisors have the ability to create this sense of value, which can lead to confidence, empowerment, enthusiasm and inspiration. Review how your employ-ees are supervised. Are they trusted to do their jobs with-out heavy review? Do they ask for help only when need-ed? When requested, do they receive assistance? Finally, do

employees feel their supervi-sors are being honest when presenting information or answering questions?

* Continued training: In-vesting in employee training develops a bond between the employee and the business. Additional training shows the employee there’s room to grow in the company, and that the business values his or her expertise. Plus, the company benefits by having employees learning the latest information in the industry.

* Improved communica-tion: There is a difference in opinion on how well em-ployers communicate with employees. According to the whitepaper, employers think they do a better job of it than their workers report. Because of this discrepancy, employ-ers need to make more effort in communicating business information. Consider hold-ing a weekly progress report meeting or developing a newsletter. Involve employ-ees in meetings discussing the future of the company, and give everyone tasks to help achieve the goals that are decided upon. This al-lows employees to feel they’re taking an ownership in the company, which will lead to them becoming more en-gaged.

Making an employee feel like he or she is important can take the professional re-lationship far.

Padres, si su hijo está por comenzar las clases por pri-mera vez, déjenme compartir con ustedes algunas lecciones que mi esposa y yo hemos aprendido a la fuerza. Segu-ramente se pasarán las próxi-mas semanas completando pilas de papeles de inscrip-ción, organizando el tema del transporte y, por supues-to, haciendo las tan temidas compras de uniformes y úti-les escolares.

Si ésta es su primera vez, o simplemente necesita per-feccionarse para la “vuelta al colegio”, estas son algunas sugerencias que pueden ayu-darlos a ahorrar tiempo y di-nero y no volverse locos:

Organícense. Tengan un registro de las corresponden-cias de la escuela para cosas como requisitos de inscrip-ción, boletines de calificacio-nes, autorizaciones, vacunas obligatorias, políticas de la escuela, datos de contacto de la escuela y padres, etc. Ave-rigüen si la escuela tiene un sitio web, un calendario en línea o un listado de correo electrónico en el que puedan incluirse. También pueden crearse un calendario fami-liar maestro.

Compras para el comienzo de clases. Entre la ropa nue-va, los útiles escolares y las cuotas y los equipos de las actividades extracurricula-res, muchos padres terminan gastando cientos de dólares por hijo. Si han sido previso-res, habrán estado ahorran-do para esto durante el año. Si no, tendrán que ver qué es lo que pueden pagar sin desmoronar su presupuesto general.

Estos son algunos consejos para

organizarse y ahorrar dinero:

•Antes de comprar, hagan una lista de todo lo que nece-sita cada hijo. Usen la lista de gastos del año anterior como guía y comparen sus anota-ciones con las de otros padres y personal de la escuela.•Hagan que sus hijos par-

ticipen del proceso presu-puestario. Cuéntenles cuánto dinero tienen para gastar y pídanles que prioricen los gastos entre lo que “necesi-tan” y lo que “desean”.•Revisen los armarios de

sus hijos y hagan que se prue-ben todo. Hagan un inventa-rio de las cosas que le quedan bien y están en buen estado y llévenlo al ir de compras para no comprar doble acciden-talmente. (En este proceso, pueden compartir, vender o donar lo que no necesitan)•Vayan comprando la ropa

a lo largo del año para que no les quede chica. Muchas tiendas hacen liquidaciones de otoño para hacer lugar a la mercadería de fin de año.•lean bien el código de

vestimenta de la escuela para no gastar dinero en prendas que no puedan usar.•Si bien comprar por In-

ternet puede ahorrar dinero, tiempo y combustible, no hay que olvidarse de contar los costos de envío y devolución, que pueden anular el ahorro neto. Si sus hijos tienen edad para hacerlo, pídanles que comparen precios por Inter-net y busquen cupones de descuento.•Pregunten qué útiles es-

colares deben comprar. Jún-tense con otras familias para hacer la compra y obtener un descuento por cantidad.•Averigüen cuánto cuestan

las actividades extracurricu-lares (deportes, música, arte, etc.). Tengan en cuenta los uniformes, las membrecías, las clases particulares, los viajes de estudio, las viandas,

etc.•Alquilen o compren equi-

pos deportivos o instrumen-tos musicales usados hasta estar seguros de que sus hijos seguirán realizando la activi-dad.•Sepan cuándo gastar más

en pos de una mejor calidad. no importa si papel del cua-derno es más barato, pero no compren zapatos de mala calidad para sus hijos ya que podrían afectar su desarrollo físico.•Antes de comprar ropa o

accesorios nuevos, busquen prendas en buen estado en los armarios de sus hijos ma-yores y amigos, en ferias de garaje, en tiendas de artícu-los usados y en consignación y en Internet.•Busquen cupones de des-

cuento en los periódicos y en Internet. Muchas tien-das igualan los precios de la competencia aun cuando sus propios artículos no es-tén de oferta. Además, mu-chos sitios de consolidación publican cupones y códigos de venta de tiendas virtuales para descargar e imprimir, como por ejemplo: Coupon-Cabin.com, CouponCode.com, CouponCraze.com, DealHunting.com y Deal-news.com.•las aplicaciones de com-

pras online para celulares permiten a los usuarios de teléfonos inteligentes y nave-gadores móviles escanear los códigos de barra de los pro-ductos y comparar precios en el momento, leer opiniones, descargar cupones, comprar productos y mucho más.•Sigan a sus tiendas favo-

ritas en Facebook y Twitter, donde muchas de ellas pu-blican ofertas especiales para sus seguidores.

En resumen: Si se organi-zan antes de embarcarse en las compras escolares, po-drán ahorrar dinero, tiempo y sufrimiento.

San Jose CAlIFORnIA

In the midst of exceptional drought conditions, a new, locally controlled, drought-proof water source for Sili-con Valley is now on-line. On July 18, 2014, the Santa Clara Valley Water District, in part-nership with the cities of San José and Santa Clara, cel-ebrated the grand opening of the Silicon Valley Advanced Water Purification Center. located in northern San José off Zanker Road, the new purification center, owned and operated by Santa Clara Valley Water District, is already produc-ing up to 8 million gallons a day of highly purified water. It is the largest facility of its kind in northern California. The $72 million project be-gan construction in novem-

ber of 2010. The new facility received $8.25 million from the federal American Re-covery and Re-investment Act and $5.25 million from the California Department of Water Resources. The city of San José contributed $11 million toward the construc-tion and provided a long-term lease for the land.

The new facility is using ad-vanced technologies to purify water which has already un-dergone two levels of qual-ity wastewater treatment, sourced from the San José-Santa Clara Regional Waste-water Facility (RWF). At the new purification center, the water goes through three ad-ditional high-tech process-es—microfiltration, reverse osmosis and ultraviolet light. Instead of going to the bay, this water will be distributed via the regional “purple pipe”

recycled water system, deliv-ered by South Bay Water Re-cycling (SBWR), a program within the RWF, and used for industrial cooling towers, golf courses and car washes, throughout San José, Milpi-tas and Santa Clara.

Recycled water has been used successfully in Santa Clara County for decades. Palo Alto, Sunnyvale and Gilroy all produce recycled water from their wastewater facilities. SBWR will pro-vide recycled water to the new 49er levi’s Stadium. Today, recycled water makes up about 5 percent of the county’s total water de-mands. By 2025, the water district hopes to double that number. The new purifica-tion center is one important step to reaching that goal.

Parents interested in giv-ing their kids a head start in early education are invited to attend a citywide preschool open house on Wednesday, August 13.

The San José Depart-ment of Parks, Recreation and neighborhood Services (PRnS) is holding open house events at twelve com-munity centers, from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., next month. During the open houses, ac-tivities for children will be available so that parents can explore the facilities, meet staff, and ask questions.

locations of the commu-

nity centers can be found at http://www.sanjoseca.gov/Facilities

“This is a great opportu-nity for parents to come and meet our preschool teachers, tour the classrooms, and ask any questions they may have about our program,” said Hal Spangenberg, recreation supervisor at the Almaden Community Center.

“Our preschool programs at community centers expose young students to math, art and music, and kids also can strengthen their language development, along with learning social, learning, and motor skills.” Parents have several enrollment options

to select for their children. Kids can attend preschool on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for $234 per month, or Tuesdays and Thursdays for $194 per month. PRnS offers an affordable monthly payment plan, and scholar-ships are available that can reduce costs for eligible par-ticipants.

Classes are held in the mornings from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Preschool children must be fully toilet trained by the first day of the program, which begins Monday, Au-gust 25. Registration opens on Saturday, July 26. To learn more, visit www.sanjoseca.gov/infantsandtots

The excitement of back-to-school preparations can bring back fond memories of youthful school days. Once you have kids of your own, making new memories can be even sweeter by thinking about your child’s new friends and teachers and what the new year will bring -- but they’ll need some cool new school supplies first!

So while the start of the aca-demic year may mean lots of new stuff for your kids, don’t let it be a budget-breaker. To make the back-to-school sea-son easier and more afford-able, do your homework and get your game-plan together.

The shopping experts at Dollar General are sharing convenient and cost-effective tips to prep the family for a great school year:

Cool ThreadsFor a new academic year,

start with a fresh look. Any parent knows keeping up with fashion isn’t the only consideration for school wear-- there’s price to think about as well. not only do styles change, but children grow and change too. Be

smart and buy the basics like jeans, sweaters and sweat-shirts for those upcoming fall and winter days at low cost.

Kids quickly outgrow ev-erything so you have to plan accordingly. For school uni-forms, research online low prices, discounts and free shipping offers.

Reading, Writing, Arithmetic

Pencils, paper, calculators and everything else. For the little ones, you may need to stock up on pencils, markers, crayons and arts-and-crafts essentials. Older children may have more advanced class-work and advanced supplies like calculators, compasses and composition notebooks.

The Breakfast ClubBreakfast is the most impor-

tant meal of the day to help fuel their brains and muscles and meet their growing needs. Unfortunately, it may be quickly eaten in a rush out the door or completely forgot-ten all together.

Get off to a running start by clipping digital coupons and buying everyday items that can be eaten quickly, such as cereal or peanut butter. Save time and money by shop-ping online too. To help you save even more for the back to school season, text DGBTS to receive $5 off any $25 pretax purchase in more than 11,000 stores nationwide or online at www.dollargeneral.com.

If your initial two-year grant of deferred action for childhood arrivals (DACA) is expiring, you may request a renewal.

Who Can Renewyou may request a renewal

if you met the initial DACA guidelines and you:

Did not depart the United States on or after Aug. 15, 2012, without advance pa-role; Have continuously re-sided in the United States since you submitted your most recent DACA request that was approved; and Have not been convicted of a felo-ny, a significant misdemean-or, or three or more misde-meanors, and do not other-wise pose a threat to national security or public safety.

no one with DACA will be too old to renew – it is impossible to age-out of the DACA program. Moreover, individuals enrolled in school at the time of their initial application will not be dis-qualified if they had to stop attending to see to other life responsibilities.

When to Renewyou should submit your

renewal request about 120 days (4 months) before your current period of deferred ac-tion will expire. If you submit your request more than 150 days (5 months) before your current period expires, US-CIS may reject it and return it to you with instructions to

resubmit it closer to the expi-ration date.

To find your DACA expira-tion date, do either of the fol-lowing:

look at the I-797 notice of Action under “notice Type”

look at your EAD under “Card Expires”

How to RenewComplete and sign: Form

I-821D, Consideration of Deferred Action for Child-hood Arrivals, Form I-765 Application for Employment Authorization, and Form I-765WS Worksheet.

Use the most recent version of Form I-821D on the US-CIS website or form will be rejected.

Follow the instructions on all three forms to submit them to USCIS. There is a $380 filing fee for Form I-765 and an $85 biometric services (fingerprints and photo) fee, so the total cost is $465.

Additional DocumentsDo not submit any addi-

tional documents at the time you request renewal unless:

you have new documents involving removal proceed-ings or criminal history that you did not already submit to USCIS in a previously ap-proved DACA request.

USCIS may request addi-tional documents or state-ments to verify information provided in support of re-

Most kids handle their en-thusiasm for sports pretty well. They play hard, get ex-cited over wins, sad about losses, but usually just have a good time, enjoying some exercise and healthy compe-tition.

now if only all that were true for their parents. We’ve probably all seen reports of fi ghts during little league games, soccer referees being attacked and coaches facing verbal abuse, or worse, AA vi-olent reactions not from the kids, but from the parents.

While it’s understandable that parents want their chil-dren to do well and be treat-ed fairly, some parents have made their child’s sports so important, that their emo-tions override their judgment and they end up reacting vio-lently to what happened on the playing fi eld.

The source of such emotions aren’t diffi cult to understand. If a child isn’t performing up to parental expectations, the parent may feel frustrated. Such feelings can be compli-cated by the parent’s project-ing his or her own athletic dreams and fantasies onto the child. Some parents then accept that a violent confron-tation in sports is a means of venting frustration.

When that happens, it’s often a sign that sports are playing too important a role in family life.

A good fi rst question to ask is whether the family’s life re-volves around the children’s sports. Are the kids being “pushed”, not just to play sports, but to train harder and to excel, maybe at the ex-pense of school work or other activities? Do you fi nd that you have mood swings asso-ciated with your kids’ success or failures in sports, and that your children are rewarded,

or teased, mocked and criti-cized, depending on how well they performed? Do you blame the coaches if your child’s team loses and make fun of children who don’t play at your child’s level?

If the answer is yes to some or all of these questions, there’s a good chance that you’re making sports too im-portant a part of your fam-ily’s life. And if you have had thoughts about having react-ing violently toward other parents, or coaches, or refer-ees when things have gone poorly, it’s a clear indication that help is needed.

Try talking to a professional counselor specializing in family counseling. He or she can help you readjust your perspective on your expec-tations and your children’s sports, and can help rees-tablish a healthy emotional balance between sports and your parenting style.

young woman

recognized at White

House for her advocacy

Elena KadvanyPAlO AlTO WEEKly

Sarahi Espinoza Salamanca doesn’t want her story to re-peat itself.

Some years ago, she was a promising high school stu-dent in los Angeles, so much so that the University of Cali-fornia at los Angeles recruit-ed her for her high grades and many extracurricular activities. But Salamanca is an undocumented immi-grant. Her parents brought her to the United States from Mexico when she was 4 years old. Without a Social Security number, she could not apply for the financial aid she need-ed to pay for UClA tuition.

“I felt like I had my ticket to go — but I didn’t have the money,” she said. “So I didn’t go.

“That was very difficult for me to find out that I wasn’t going to be able to go to the college that I wanted to be-cause I didn’t have the money

and I didn’t know anybody who could help people in my situation at the time.”

The 24-year-old East Palo Alto resident has set out to be that person for other un-documented students. last year she launched a web-site, sarahi.tv, with links to scholarships available to undocumented students, lo-cal networking events and conferences, news articles on immigration reform, video interviews with undocu-mented youth and personal writing pieces. Her website — which was built by a friend, but she has since taken over after teaching herself how to write HTMl — also caught the attention of Facebook’s immigration-reform lobby group FWD.us. She was one of 20 undocumented stu-dents invited to participate in a national DREAMers hackathon, which focused on immigration-reform projects and culminated in a 24-hour coding session at linkedIn last november.

She was also honored at the White House June 17 as one of 10 Deferred Ac-tion for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients President Barack Obama’s administra-tion dubbed “Champions of Change,” illegal immigrants who “serve as success sto-ries and role models in their academic and professional spheres,” a White House

statement read.

“I wanted to make a dif-ference for students who go through high school and are undocumented and to advo-cate the resources that are out there because you don’t really know,” Salamanca said of her website. “Especially being un-documented, you’re scared to tell people.”

She said that fear, coupled with the fact that talking about one’s legal status is a “taboo” topic, makes it diffi-cult for undocumented stu-dents to find help or support if they want to pursue higher education.

After graduating from high school, she moved back to the Bay Area — where she origi-nally came with her parents when they first immigrated — and attended Foothill College. Because she gradu-ated from a California high school, she qualified under state law AB540 to attend Foothill College and pay in-state tuition, rather than the much higher international cost. She worked the summer before entering college — babysitting, washing people’s clothes, any cash-only jobs — to pay her own way, she said. She had been mostly on her own since she was 16, when her mother, in the process of securing residency, returned to Mexico to request a waiver required as part of the appli-

cation process. She was told she would be able to return, legally, in six months, but that turned out not to be true.

This november, it will be nine years since she left. “She’s still in Mexico,” Sala-manca said. “She was caught in the system.”

Salamanca’s father, who went back to Mexico years before, was diagnosed with cancer in 2009 — creating a circumstance Salamanca said is common for immigrant youth: choosing between furthering her education and supporting her family finan-cially.

“I stayed for as long as I could (in school) but my mom just couldn’t handle the bills and my dad always being sick and having to take a taxi to the hospital every time he got sick or calling an ambu-lance,” she said. “She couldn’t do it by herself anymore. ... So then I made the decision — do I stay and kind of ignore everything that’s happening or do I just drop out of col-lege and work as much as I can and send them as much money as I can?”

She dropped out of Foot-hill and worked full time for the next two years, sending her parents as much money as she could until her father died in March 2011.

“Our parents don’t motivate

us to go to school,” she re-flected. “They motivate us to go to work and make money because we need to make ends meet because we need to feed our younger siblings. We need to pay the bills. We need to pay the rent.

“So it’s very difficult to go to school and hear ‘Education is first’ and then to go home and your parents are like, ‘no, education is not first; first you need to bring in the money, and then go to school.’”

Salamanca said she also wants to serve as a resource for immigrant parents.

“One of my passions is not just to educate the students on what’s out there and mo-tivate them to go to school, but also to change the mind-set of the parents and be like, ‘you know what, I under-stand where you’re coming from because I grew up in the same home where educa-tion wasn’t a priority, but that needs to change in order for you to see a change in your family. ... you have to let your kids go to college and come back.”

Salamanca has since re-turned to her own educa-tion, re-enrolling in Canada College last August. She has yet to pick a major, having trouble deciding between computer science, broadcast journalism and political sci-

ence, she said. She also now has a Social Security number and a driver’s license through DACA, the federal program that allows undocumented young people who came to the U.S. as children to obtain temporary legal status. The passage of DACA in June 2012 was seen as a victory for immigration reform, but its recipients and supporters wait with baited breath to see what the next president might do with the Obama administration’s program.

DACA allows Salamanca to work this summer, which she does for the Girl Scouts of northern California. She also continues to advocate for im-migration reform and work on her website. This week, website visitors will find a re-cent video of Obama speaking about delayed immigration legislation; a scholarship op-portunity for eighth graders; the California DREAM Act financial aid application; and a post asking others to share testimony on how DACA has changed their lives.

“That’s why sarahi.tv start-ed, so that my story wouldn’t repeat and somebody who’s in high school who has the grades and the potential to go straight to college doesn’t have to feel like there is noth-ing out there for them be-cause there is,” she said. “It’s difficult to find, but it is out there.”

With August just around the corner, many young dream-ers can claim the 15th as their “DACAmented” anniversary. The 15th will mark the fi rst an-niversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. DACAmented individ-uals are granted temporary re-lief from deportation, and given work authorization, and the abil-ity to receive a driver’s license. According to reports released by the United States Center for Immigration Services (USCIS) 557,412 DACA applications were received between August 15, 2013-June 30, 2013 with an esti-mated 900,000 individuals who were eligible for the program.

Of those 557,412 applicants, almost 75 percent were approved for DACA. El Observador had the opportunity to interview three DACA recipients to hear their stories that are just the beginning of their American Dream.

“I remember exactly when the DREAM act had actually failed in Congress and I felt so devas-tated because I felt like there is no way I’m going to get a job any-time soon,” said Karen Gonzalez, a current DACA recipient.

“I felt so demoralized, I hadn’t started my career. I was basi-cally running through a tunnel and seeing no light.” Gonzalez, now works for a state assembly member, has fi nally found the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’. She recalls interviewing for her current work position and the in-terviewer questioning her on the variety of jobs on her resume. She then explained to her interviewer that she is DACAmented.

Too often a picture is paint-ed that most immigrants are low skill workers coming to the United States to seek labor re-lated work due to their lack of education. For Gonzalez and her family, that was not necessar-ily the case. Both of her parents worked as accountants in Mexi-co City, her father even working for Procter and Gamble in the past. Despite their college educa-tion backgrounds “it just wasn’t enough to make it. Their career wasn’t moving and the situation

was getting worse economically,” said Gonzalez.

Throughout college Gonzalez worked as a dental assistant to fund her education at San Jose State University. She graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Politi-cal Science. Since receiving work authorization she immediately found a position in her fi eld of study.

“It’s really important for pro-fessionals, and for people who are in careers that don’t usually tell people that we’re undocu-mented, explain our situation.” said Gonzalez. “The typical im-migrant is not walking around with a “sombrero and chanclas.” We are look like everyone else; we are professionals; we are Harvard grads; we work in gov-ernment.”

With border crossings and immigration issues making headlines, it is becoming com-monplace for dreamers to public-ly announce their undocument-ed status. Most notably, Jose Antonio Vargas, an immigration activist, who was detained, then later released, at an immigration checkpoint in Texas. Gonzalez noted that it is “so surreal” that the same situation could have easily happened to her.

like Gonzalez, another San Jose State University graduate, Alejandro Cruz, found opportu-nities through work authoriza-tion. It only took Cruz, a Bache-lors of Social Work graduate, two weeks after graduation to fi nd employment in his fi eld of study.

Cruz, originally from Oaxaca,Mexico works as a fam-ily specialist helping children at the county level. Before DACA, Cruz worked in multiple restau-rant positions from dishwasher to server for nearly a decade. Cruz recalled that it was diffi cult to fi nd work since he was unable to reveal his immigration status. Arriving in the country at age 13, Cruz said he is “Mexican-Amer-ican.”

“I am more Mexican than American. I can say that because my roots come from Oaxaca. That’s where I was raised, but I am American. I pay my taxes; I went to school; I paid all my dues; I’ve never been to jail,” said Cruz. Cruz, like all DACA recipi-

ents, must meet a specifi c criteria of moral character, specifi cally : Have not been convicted of a fel-ony or multiple or serious misde-meanors and not pose a threat to national security or public safety.

“It’s time for us latinos that have the opportunity to get DACA to prove them wrong now. It’s time to show them that we have that drive to be able to suc-ceed in our fi eld,” said Cruz of all DACA recipients and of DACA opponents misconceptions.

Echoing Gonzalez and Cruz sentiments about more oppor-tunities, Jesus, who chose to only use his fi rst name, also found himself in his dream career path through DACA.

“There are so many more doors open. There are much more opportunities for me to take advantage of,” said Jesus. Jesus graduated in 2011 with a Bachelors degree in Business Administration with an empha-sis in marketing from a universi-ty in southern California. At the age of ten, Jesus and his family left a small town in the state of Michoacan, Mexico to journey to the United States.

Jesus worked in the restau-rant industry for most of his work life, seven years, holding cashier to server positions. Je-sus recalled working full time to pay for college tuition and other expenses since undocumented students were unable to received fi nancial aid. His entire college career, he was a full time worker and full time student.

He waited for two years after he graduated college to receive the opportunity to work in a po-sition related to his fi eld of study. “After graduating, I felt frustrat-ed because I felt like all that work was for nothing,” said Jesus. To-day, Jesus works as a personal banker with plans to continue his education in an MBA pro-gram to become an investment banker.

Gonzalez, Cruz, and Jesus are the faces of DACA. They are young professionals simply be-ginning their careers, working towards achieving their Ameri-can dream. Soon they will renew their status for the fi rst time to continue on their journey of suc-cess.

Muchos jóvenes soñadores pueden reclamar el 15 de agosto como su aniversario de ser “DA-CAmented”. El 15 marcará el primer aniversario de la Acción Diferida para los programas (DACA en inglés) Infancia, lle-gadas. Individuos “ DACAmen-ted concede alivio temporal de la deportación, el permiso de trabajo, y la capacidad de recibir una licencia de conducir.

Según los informes publi-cados por el Centro de Estados Unidos para los Servicios de Inmigración (USCIS en inglés) se recibieron 557,412 aplicacio-nes de DACA entre agosto 15, 2013 a junio 30, 2013 con un estimado de 900,000 personas que fueron elegibles para el pro-grama.

De los 557,412 solicitantes, casi 75 por ciento fue aproba-do para DACA. El Observador tuvo la oportunidad de entre-vistar a tres beneficiarios DACA

para escuchar sus historias que son el comienzo del sueño ame-ricano.

“Recuerdo exactamente cuando el Dream Act no había hecho en el Congreso y me sen-tía tan devastada porque sentí que no había manera de poder conseguir trabajo”, dijo Karen González, una actual receptora de DACA.

“Me sentí tan desmoraliza-do, no hubiera empezado mi carrera. Básicamente estaba corriendo a través de un túnel y sin ver la luz.” González, ahora trabaja para un miembro de la asamblea estatal, por fin ha en-contrado la luz al final del túnel. Ella recuerda una entrevista para su puesto de trabajo, y el entrevistador preguntaba sobre la variedad de puestos de traba-jo en su currículum. Después explicó a su entrevistador, que ella tiene DACA.

Una imagen está pintado que la mayoría de los inmigran-

tes son trabajadores poco cuali-ficados que vienen a los Estados Unidos y busca trabajo rela-cionados con la mano de obra, debido a su falta de educación. Para González y su familia, no era el caso. Sus padres trabaja-ban como contadores en la Ciu-dad de México, su padre trabajó para Procter and Gamble en el pasado. A pesar de sus estudios universitarios “simplemente no era suficiente para ella, su ca-rrera no se movía, y la situación estaba empeorando económi-camente,” dijo González. “yo tengo familia, que son ingenie-ros y personas que son educados y que todavía no pueden soste-nerse en su país.”

González trabajó como asis-tente dental para financiar su educación en la Universidad Estatal de San José. Se graduó con una licenciatura en Cien-cias Políticas. Desde que recibió la autorización de trabajo de in-mediato encontró un puesto en su campo de estudio.

Es muy importante para los profesionales y para las perso-nas que están en las carreras que no suelen decirle a la gente que estamos indocumentados explicar nuestra situación,” dijo González. “El típico inmigrante no está caminando por ahí con un sombrero y chanclas, nos parecemos a los demás, somos profesionales, somos graduados de Harvard, se trabaja en el go-bierno.”

Con los pasos fronterizos y las cuestiones de inmigración en las noticias, es un lugar común para los soñadores el anunciar públicamente su condición de indocumentados. Más notable-mente, José Antonio Vargas, un activista de inmigración, que fue detenido y luego puesto en libertad en un puesto de control de inmigración en Texas. Gon-zález señaló que es “tan surrea-lista” que la misma situación podría haber pasado a ella.

Al igual que González, otro graduado de la Universidad Estatal de San José, Alejandro Cruz, encontró oportunidades a través de la autorización de trabajo. Tomó solamente dos semanas después de la gradua-ción el encontrar un empleo en su campo de estudio. Cruz se graduó con una licenciatura en trabajo social.

Cruz, de Oaxaca, México; trabaja como especialista de fa-milia, ayuda a los niños a nivel de condado. Antes de obtener DACA, Cruz trabajó en varias

posiciones en un restaurante por casi una década. Cruz re-cordó que fue difícil encontrar trabajo, ya que no fue capaz de revelar su estatus migratorio. Al llegar al país a los 13 años, Cruz decía que es “mexicano-americano.”

“Soy más mexicano que americano. Puedo decir que porque mis raíces vienen de Oaxaca, que es donde me crié, pero soy americano. yo pago mis impuestos, fui a la escuela, he pagado todas mis deudas, yo nunca he estado en la cárcel,” dijo Cruz. Cruz, al igual que todos los receptores de DACA, debe cumplir unos criterios específicos de carácter moral, específicamente: no haber sido condenado por un delito gra-ve o no haber cometido delitos menores y que no representen una amenaza para la seguridad nacional o la seguridad pública.

“Es tiempo para nosotros los latinos que tenemos la oportu-nidad de obtener DACA, tiem-po para demostrar que estaban equivocados. Es hora de demos-trar que tenemos esa unidad y la capacidad de tener éxito en nuestro campo,” dijo Cruz de todos los destinatarios DACA y a los opositores de DACA.

“Hay muchas más puer-tas abiertas, hay muchas más oportunidades que yo puedo aprovechar,” dijo Jesús, quién se graduó en el 2011 con una licenciatura en Administración de Empresas con énfasis en la

comercialización de una uni-versidad en el sur de California. A la edad de diez años, Jesús y su familia salieron de un pe-queño pueblo en el estado de Michoacán, México para viajar a los Estados Unidos.

Jesús trabajó en la industria de restaurantes por siete años. Jesús recordó que trabajó a tiempo completo para pagar la matrícula universitaria y otros gastos porque los estudiantes indocumentados no recibieron ayuda financiera. Durante toda su carrera en la universidad, era un trabajador a tiempo com-pleto y un estudiante a tiempo completo.

Esperó dos años después de graduarse de la universidad para recibir la oportunidad de trabajar en un puesto relacio-nado con su campo de estudio. “Después de graduarme, me sentía frustrado porque obser-vaba como todo ese trabajo era para nada”, dijo Jesús. Hoy, Je-sús trabaja como banquero per-sonal con planes para continuar su educación en un programa de MBA para convertirse en un banquero de inversión.

González Cruz, y Jesús son los rostros de DACA. Son pro-fesionales jóvenes simplemen-te comenzando sus carreras, trabajando hacia el logro de su sueño americano. Pronto van a renovar su estado migratorio por primera vez, para continuar en su camino de éxito.

There’s no question that wildfires are on the increase across the American West and other fire-prone regions of the world, and most envi-ronmental leaders agree that global warming is largely to blame. In a recent study pub-lished in the journal Geo-physical Research letters, researchers from the Univer-sity of Utah analyzed a data-base of large wildfires in the western U.S. between 1984 and 2011 and found a signifi-cant increase in the number of large fires and/or the area covered by the blazes. From nebraska to California, the number of large wildfires increased sevenfold per year over the study period, with the total area burned increas-ing by 90,000 acres a year on average.

“Wildfire trends in the West are clear: There are more large fires burning now than at any time in the past 40 years and the total area burned each year has also increased,” says Alyson Kenward of the nonprofit Climate Central. “Over the same span, average spring and summer temperatures across 11 Western states have increased by more than 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit, contrib-uting to the higher fire risks.”

What worries Kenward and others is that the latest cli-mate model projections show temperatures rising an ad-ditional two to four degrees Fahrenheit over the next few decades (and as much as eight degrees by 2100).

According to the national Wildlife Federation (nWF), the hotter temperatures we are already experiencing in-crease fire risks for several reasons. For one, drier, hotter conditions increase evapora-tion rates and encourage de-sertification. Also, as snow-packs melt earlier and sum-mer temperatures rise to new heights, the length of the “fire season” is extending. Mean-while, warming-induced insect infestations and other problems are ravaging many forests, turning once teeming ecosystems into tinderboxes. And the increased frequen-cy of lightning as thunder storms become more severe only exacerbates the situa-tion.

not everyone agrees that global warming is causing the increase in wildfires. Professor David B. South of Auburn University points the finger at forest management and fire suppression practic-es over the last century that have allowed “fuels” to build up on forest floors, making the fires that do get started

that much harder to quell or contain. “Policymakers who halt active forest manage-ment and kill ‘green’ harvest-ing jobs in favor of a ‘hands-off ’ approach contribute to the buildup of fuels in the forest,” South told the Sen-ate Environment and Public Works Committee in May 2014. “This eventually in-creases the risk of catastroph-ic wildfires,” he said, adding that blaming carbon dioxide emissions for increased fire risk would be “simply unsci-entific.”

Regardless of who is right, we can all help reduce or pre-vent wildfires. According to Smokey Bear, the federal gov-ernment’s mascot for wildfire prevention since the 1940s, those of us living in or visit-ing fire-prone areas should take extra precautions when burning anything outdoors. The campfire safety page of Smokey Bear’s website out-lines how to build and extin-guish campfires properly to minimize wildfire risks, and provides lots of other relevant tips on how to stay vigilant. you can also help reduce the risk of wildfire by reducing your carbon footprint (drive and fly less, plant trees) and speaking up for legislation and other actions that help reduce greenhouse gas emis-sions.

Wildfires are on the rise across the American West and other fire-prone regions of the world, and most environmentalists agree that global warming is largely to blame. But some scientists point out that poor forest management and fire suppression practices over the last century have allowed “fuels” to build up on forest floors, making the fires that do get started that much harder to quell or contain.

Cuando me enteré que los Seis Pistos iban a estar en San José, me sentí súper emocio-nada. Un montón de cosas di-ferentes empezaron a venir a mi mente, como cuando tenía un programa de radio en la universidad, y mi experiencia descubriendo el punk mexica-no. El amigo de mi manager me presentó varios artistas y recuerdo que le dije que era muy aficionada a la música punk durante la secundaria. Inmediatamente me dijo sobre los Seis Pistos de Chi-huahua, México. Me sentí impresionada, no porque era punk, pero porque era punk en mi primer idioma, español.

Tuve la increíble oportunidad de ver a los Seis Pistos hace unos seis años en los Ángeles, durante un festival de música. Una vez más los Seis Pistos no decepcionaron.

llegué a la Caravana en San José y vi a los chavos bajando su equipo. Más tarde, se unie-ron con el público y estaban pasando el rato, viendo las bandas de apertura, y ven-diendo su mercancía.

Era su momento de subir al pequeño escenario. Miré alrededor y la gente estaba compuesta por todo tipo de personas, la mayoría de ellos esperando ansiosamente lo que iba a suceder.

la multitud se volvió loca cuando se dieron cuenta que eran chavos mexicanos que tocan punk, aunque interpre-taron algunas canciones en Inglés. Ellos lo llevaron a cabo en un local pequeño, así que le dio un toque más íntimo. Imaginé un “mosh pit” como si estuviéramos en un lugar que lo permite, pero la Cara-vana tiene una regla estricta en contra de eso. Pero ello no impidió que la gente disfruta-ra de la banda.

Estos cuatro chavos tocaron como si estuvieran frente a cientos de personas. Resultó muy natural para el vocalista el interactuar con los fans. Ex-plicó qué canción iban a inter-pretar y bromeaba. Esta ban-da lo dio todo. la energía del cantante era contagiosa. Co-rrió por el lugar consiguiendo que todos gritaran.

Uno de mis momentos favo-ritos fue cuando compartió el micrófono con uno de los fans. Entre cantos tomó su disco mas reciente, “Rock-trospectiva” y se lo entregó. El público respondió aplaudien-do, animándolos, y pidiendo autógrafos después de su set.

los hermanos Jesse & Joy afirmaron que para su próxi-mo disco, que saldrá a la venta en 2015, continuarán moviendo las fibras más sen-sibles del público, ya sea con temas rítmicos o baladas al piano y guitarra.“Trataremos algo nuevo de la misma ma-nera que lo hicimos a través de ‘¿Con quién se queda el perro?’, que fue algo diferente a lo he-cho antes. nos enfocaremos a las canciones de guitarra y voz, o de piano y voz que enchinen la piel, que hagan algún efec-to”, adelantó Jesse.

“Si es una canción movida, buscaremos moverles el pie, si es una de amor o desamor, que traspase más allá de las fibras de los oídos”, añadió el músico.Por lo regular, dijo, les gusta ir en contra de lo que se está proponiendo en el terreno musical, “pero también nos podemos dar el gusto de ha-cer algo así (electrónico). no estamos peleados con ningún género, somos amantes de la buena música”.

Superar el éxito de sus tres anteriores discos de estudio no será fácil, será un reto, apuntó Joy. Por eso se concentrarán en que las nuevas canciones primero los emocionen a ellos para después compartirlas con la gente.

En tanto, Jesse & Joy se com-place en confirmar que grabó un tema a dueto con yuri, que será incluido en la próxima producción discográfica de la veracruzana.“Con nues-tra güera adorada tuvimos la oportunidad de compartir. Mi hermano fue el produc-

tor y para mí es muy especial porque la queremos mucho”, comentó Joy sobre la canción compuesta por ellos y yuri, aunque prefirieron no adelan-tar más detalles.

Sobre la gira internacional que iniciaron hace dos años y medio, Jesse informó que en noviembre ofrecerán concier-tos en Chile, Argentina, Perú y Uruguay.la próxima semana se presentarán en República Dominicana y aunque es can-sado, aseguran que sus activi-dades no las sienten como si fuera un trabajo, pues hacer lo que les gusta lo ven como una bendición.

la noche del martes, Jesse & Joy asistieron como invitados al lanzamiento de la campaña de un marca refresquera en un restaurante de Cuajimalpa de Morelos.

En estos tiempos complica-dos que vivimos a veces, don-de coexisten preocupacio-nes financieras y problemas emocionales, todos andamos en busca de algo que nos haga sentir mejor y a veces no sabemos qué o cómo pode-mos encontrar ese algo.

la respuesta puede estar en la liberación que produce el perdón.. Es muy probable que desde el pasado venga-mos arrastrando sufrimien-tos, coraje, angustia, contra-riedades, rencores y todo tipo de sentimientos adversos, no solamente en contra de otras personas sino también en contra de nosotros mismos.

Talvez usted haya enfrenta-do una niñez difícil, quizá la

persona en la que más confia-ba le falló, o puede ser que en este preciso momento sienta deseos de venganza por algo que le hicieron. le invito a reflexionar y tomar un paso importante en su vida, atré-vase a perdonar ¡Sí! Perdone a todo aquel que le haya cau-sado un daño, perdone si se han cometido injusticias en su contra, perdone la negli-gencia de otras personas, los engaños, las intrigas, los chis-mes y las tretas en su contra.

El segundo paso es pedir perdón, ¡Claro! Pida perdón a quién usted haya ofendi-do directa o indirectamente, llame a esa persona con la que quizá tuvo un altercado y discúlpese, el perdón le li-berará de las cadenas de re-sentimiento y opresión que venga cargando y le abrirá las puertas a la tolerancia y la

serenidad tan anheladas en estos tiempos.

El tercer paso es perdonar-se a sí mismo por los errores que haya cometido, quizá en ocasiones no ha sido el mejor padre, el hijo ideal, la mejor madre, el mejor trabajador o el amigo más sincero, pero aún tiene tiempo para serlo, deje atrás las culpas que de vez en cuando le persiguen e inicie un nuevo camino.

ya que haya sanado su alma y engrandecido su espíritu con la liberación que produce el perdón, proceda a desearle el bien a los demás, en cuanto más bien le desee al prójimo mejor le irá a usted en la vida. Atrévase a perdonar y a pedir perdón, si lo hace sentirá que se ha quitado un gran peso de sus hombros y la vida comen-zará a sonreírle.

la venta del internacio-nal colombiano James Ro-dríguez al Real Madrid por parte del AS Mónaco batió el récord del precio pagado por un jugador de la liga francesa de futbol, destacó hoy aquí la prensa local.

“la venta de Rodríguez es la transacción más alta que se registra en Francia por el fichaje de un jugador de su liga local y una de las más importantes de la historia del futbol”, destacaron este miér-coles radiodifusoras galas.

“Sin pretenderlo, James Rodríguez ha entrado en la historia de la primera división francesa, la ligue 1”, destacó este miércoles de su lado el diario le Figaro.

De acuerdo a medios fran-ceses, el Real Madrid, que presentó la víspera al jugador, máximo goleador en la reci-ente Copa del Mundo de Bra-sil, pagó 80 millones de euros por Rodríguez, 108 millones de dólares.

“El jugador se convirtió en el jugador más caro del campe-onato francés. nunca se había conocido en Francia una transacción semejante entre dos clubes” resaltó el diario.

Hasta el momento el récord en el campeonato galo estaba marcado por el fichaje, el año pasado, por el Paris Saint-Germain, PSG, de París, del delantero uruguayo Edinson Cavani al nápoles, por 64 millones de euros, 86 mil-lones de dólares.

la prensa francesa también destacó el “buen negocio” que realizó el Mónaco con la ven-ta del jugador colombiano, ya que el equipo del Principado lo había fichado por 45 mil-lones de euros, 60 millones

de dólares y lo ha vendido por casi el doble al Real Madrid.

Otros diarios resaltaron de su lado que el Madrid pagó más por Rodríguez que por el

astro del fútbol galo, Zinedine Zidane, por el que el Madrid pagó en 2001 alrededor de 65 millones de euros, 87 mil-lones de dólares al cambio actual.
