Local DJ earns radio`s top honor
VOL.XVI • NUM 16 Enero 27, 2010 www.laprensasa.com A San Antonio Tradition Since 1913 Una Tradición en San Antonio desde 1913 Local DJ earns radio’s top honor Photo, Ramón Hernández By Ramón Hernández KSAH’s Alberto Alegre has the unique distinction of being the only Texas Hispanic disc jockey recognized by a task force of broadcasters as the one radio personality who stands out among his peers. Alegre has earned the title of best “Spanish Format Personality of the Year.” The prestigious Marconi Radio Award is to radio jocks what the Oscar is to a motion picture actor, what the Tony is to a Broadway actor and what an Emmy is to a television actor. “I was shocked when I was nominated, and I was even more surprised when I was actually named as the winner,” Alegre said upon his recent return from the 2009 National Association of Broadcaster’s (NAB) Radio Awards in Philadelphia. Alegre beat out Amalia González, KRCD; and the team of Omar and Argelia, KLVE, both in Los Angeles. He also beat out the morning drive duo of Hijos de La Mañana, from KTTA in Sacramento and the extremely popular duo from California, Raúl Brindis y Pepito of KLTN in Houston. In earning the coveted award, Alegre joined the ranks of Eddie “Piolin” Sotelo, from KSCA in Los Angeles and Rafael “El Pistolero” Bautista Pulido a.k.a. “Primo Rafa,” from WOJO in Chicago. El Chulo, of KHHL in Austin, was another Texan nominated in a category dominated by California and Chicago radio personalities. The NAB is the premier advocacy for America’s broadcasters and it is very selective, so Alegre’s triumph over jocks in bigger markets and with larger listenership was quite an accomplishment and he owes it all to sheer talent. While Alamo City listeners take the merry, joyful, radio personality for granted, few realize he has been on-the-air since September 16, 1977. That makes him a 32 ½ year radio veteran. “I don’t remember the exact day, but I use that date to be symbolic about it and to sound Mexican,” said Alegre. Early Influences It all started when Alegre’s mother, María Del Socorro Rodríguez Calvo, took him to KENS-TV to see Captain Gus – at that time it was located downtown. “When I saw all those microphones, wires and technical equipment, it fascinated me,” said Alegre. The first sign of things to come occurred when Alegre was attending David G. Burnet Elementary School and many of his classmates did not understand what his firstgrade teacher was saying. Mrs. May told him, “Albert, if you tell the kids what I say, you’ll be the first in line.” “That was my prize,” Alegre said. “So from that point on, I was always used by my teachers to be the translator, the reader and later, the room monitor. I was a little scared at first, but that gave me self-confidence because it gave me a sense of accomplishment,” recalled Alegre. “By the time I reached junior high, I wasn’t shy at all. My father, Patricio Calvo, always told me to be useful. But even at that young age, I felt I was valuable to both sides of my culture and I felt an obligation to help others. I felt communication was very important. Looking back, I think that is when I learned to be a bridge, or a middle man between people,” said Alegre.

In addition, he was also assigned to act as master of ceremonies for some plays, assemblies and school talent contests. Asked if he ever aspired to be a singer, Alegre smirked and giggled as he responded, “My mom loved to sing and she won a few amateur night, noche de aficionados, contests at the Alameda Theater.” “I once thought I was going to get the chance to shine as a singer when she took me aside before a family gathering and said, ‘Everybody in the family is going to sing, but I have a special job for you,’” recalled Alegre. “‘What?’ I asked, ‘you are going to introduce us,’ said Alegre.” With this, the Norteño 720 radio personality said it all. Continuing to MC events as a student at Thomas Jefferson High School, Alegre was the first to introduce Patsy Torres when she did her first gig with Blue Harmony at the Student Building. As a member of ROTC, he was promoted to the rank of Major and named Public Information Officer. This made him the reporter and photographer for the unit where his favorite subject was Patty Lares, Shelly Lares’ older sister. During his free time, he listened to Manuel and Rick Davila, followed by Henry Peña during their “Top Teen Tunes” radio program on KUKA. They were the magnet that drew Alegre into radio. Upon graduation in May 1976, the 5-foot-8-inch tall communicator reported for active duty at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. He had joined the U.S. Army under the delayed entry program with the stipulation that he would become a part of the Armed Forces Radio & Television Service (AFRTS). “However, they wanted to send me to computer repair school and because of this mistake, I was able to get an Honorable Discharge and come back home,” Alegre said.

El dinero, sumados a los 610,000 dólares otorgados por el Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos se destinen a llevar a cabo un ambicioso proyecto llamado, “El Proyecto Promesa”, el cual permitirá llevar a cabo las obras materiales nec- esarias para revitalizar esta área de la ciudad de San Antonio”. Así lo expresó Charlie González, congresista federal por el Distrito 20 de Texas en la ceremonia realizada el pasado lunes en El Progreso Hall ubicado en el número 1306 de la Avenida Guadalupe. La entrega del cheque por la primera de las cantidades mencionada corrió a cargo de Jorge Ayala quien representa la citada Administración de Desarrollo Económico. “Trabajamos en una amplia área del sur de la nación en dónde los estados de Louisiana, Oklahoma, Nuevo México y Texas enfrentan situaciones similares que requieren Students need solid grade Students involved in volunteer community service or work experience Visit our websites to apply on-line at www.bestbuy.com/scholarships or www.at15.com suficiente apoyo financiero para impulsar obras de infraestructura que abran las puertas de trabajos para muchas personas en diversos campos como son el comercio, la salud, la cultura y el turismo”, señaló Ayala. “Esta aportación hacia la Asociación de la Avenida Guadalupe es en respuesta a una correcta planeación de este importante grupo representativo del deseo de superación que tiene la comunidad de San Antonio y al apoyo del congresista González a este proyecto”. David Medina concejal del Distrito 5 de la ciudad apuntó: “La Avenida Guadalupe es el corazón del distrito, ha sido así en el pasado y en el presente y queremos que sea así en el futuro y solamente mediante el apoyo de todos vecinos, dueños de negocios, líderes y nosotros como representantes de la comunidad, podremos unidos lograrlo. De esta manera conseguiremos también el progreso y el bienestar de los residentes de esta importante zona de la ciudad Vea Avenida Guadalupe en la pág. 8 Charlie González, congresista federal del Distrito 20 de Texas, anunció una importante aportación económica por parte del Departamento de Comercio de los Estados Unidos, destinado a los proyectos de mejoramiento comunitario de la Asociación de la Avenida Guadalupe.

Housed in the former James Fenimore Cooper Middle School on the city’s West Side, the Mission Verde Center will be a living laboratory aimed at harnessing green technologies and training programs while helping revitalize neighborhoods in that area. “Every once in a generation comes a fundamental economic shift that provides terrific opportunities for cities that are willing to grab it,” said Mayor Julián Castro. “Today that opportunity lies in our green economy. The cities that take advantage of those opportunities are the cities that will truly prosper in the 21st century.” A model home was built by pioneering students at A&M, the house was displayed at the National Mall for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon competition in 2007 –a competition to design, build, and operate the most attractive and energy-efficient solarpowered house. The house features modular construction, so it can “grow” as Westside residents and business leaders gather to learn about sustainable energy and how to take advantage of the green economy of the future.

Castro said the center at 1700 Tampico Street is an exciting partnership involving various city organizations, San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD), Alamo Colleges, San Antonio Youth Centers (SAYC), Texas Engineering Experiment Station (TEES), City Public Service (CPS) and San Antonio Water System (SAWS). “The Mission Verde Center represents a commitment by the public and private sectors in the nation’s seventh-largest city to become a leader in sustainability,” said Cas- tro. “On the West Side of San Antonio, we will be educating, training and inspiring our populace to take advantage of the green economy of the future.” The Center will help advance the goals of Mission Verde by showcasing how investment in energy efficiency, renewable energy and water conservation can help create jobs and stimulate economic growth within the framework of a sustainable future. “This Mission Verde Center is truly setting itself apart from other cities across the nation in the world,” said Castro. “This center will not only be a place where San Antonians can come and get trained to get jobs of tomorrow –it’s also going to be a place where folks from the neighborhood and throughout the N O W P L AYI N G !

Furthermore, the Center offers an opportunity to harness green technologies and training programs to help revitalize neighborhoods. “This community has struggled for many years to successfully attract good paying jobs,” said Councilman David Medina of District 5. “Mission Verde Center will be the first step towards being able to educate and train people in a new field and industries for the city of San Antonio.” In line with SAISD’s focus of “fewer, but more efficient schools”, Cooper Middle School has the opportunity to become a model for the nation when it comes to renewable energy, energy efficiency technologies, natural resource conservation and management strategies and all related education and training. This public school will provide convenient community access, easy parking, and physical assets that facilitate a unique blend of training and education, research and demonstration- including deployment of private sector product demonstration. “It’s situations like these that make our communities even stronger,” said Tom Lopez, SAISD trustee. “When you have collaborations and strong relationships with See Westside on page 13 Enero 27, 2010 LA PRENSA DE SAN ANTONIO Mamapoly By Nina Duran Most kids nowadays, due to the Internet and television, begin to question puberty, sex and relationships at a younger age than back when we were children. They are exposed to so much information, chances are they probably know more than what you think. Leaving sex out of the picture, talking about puberty is an important job for all parents since some of their information comes from unreliable sources. Ideally, we’d like to wait as long as possible to have this conversation, but you don’t want to wait for your child to come to you (first) with questions about his or her changing body. Sometimes, this day never arrives, especially if your child is shy and doesn’t know how to approach sensitive topics that can be embarrassing for them. When talking about puberty, you want to be open, honest and answer whatever questions may come your way, and YES, it is possible to talk about puberty without talking about sex. While there’s really no right time for puberty to begin, by the time most kids are 8 years old, they will most likely be experiencing physical and emotional changes associated with puberty. Some boys experience voice changes and some girls begin wearing training bras by this age, if not a few years down the road. Girls typically hit puberty before boys, usually between 8 and 13 years of age and boys usually start between 10 and 14 years of age. According to Kid’s Health, here are a few things all kids should know about puberty: www.lapresasa.com 7 • Girls become more rounded, especially in the hips and legs • Girls’ breasts begin to swell and then grow, sometimes one faster than the other • Girls and boys get pubic hair and underarm hair, and their leg hair becomes thicker and darker • Both girls and boys often get acne and start to sweat more • Both girls and boys have a growth spurt • Boys’ penises and testicles grow larger • Boys’ voices change and become deeper • Boys grow facial hair and their muscles get bigger • Boys sometimes have wet dreams, which means they ejaculate in their sleep • Girls begin to menstruate, once a month Not surprisingly, kids usually have a lot of questions after learning or talking about puberty. It’s important to make sure that you give your child enough time to think and ask whatever he or she may need to. Be sure that your child knows you are available to talk any time. As embarrassing as it may be for you to talk about this issue, your child probably feels ten times more uncomfortable. If you don’t feel confident approaching the subject, talk to your pediatrician or educate yourself on questions that may be asked. Planned Parenthood is a great online source of credible information. It’s better for your child to learn from you than from a classmate or someone else that may have distorted facts.

J Oscar Ramírez quien es el presidente de la Asociación de la Avenida Guadalupe aportó: “La importancia del Proyecto Promesa es hacer realidad la construcción de un edificio de aproximadamente 15 600 pies cuadrados donde puedan instalarse áreas comerciales y de servicio que ayuden a revitalizar la Avenida Guadalupe. Además tenemos planeado construir un espacio que sirva como centro de entrenamiento laboral para que al menos un centenar de personas puedan entrenarse anualmente en el campo de la salud, servicios a la comunidad y en venta de casas y terrenos. De esta manera entre todos podemos contribuir a que la fuerza laboral con su empuje pueda poner a la economía local en el camino de progreso que tenía en el pasado”. Entre los asistentes se encontraba Lourdes Galván quien actualmente es miembro de la mesa directiva de la cámara de comercio West Chamber of Commerce y quien con su experiencia como ex concejal del Distrito 5 mencionó, “este apoyo económico es de gran importancia ya que ayudará al impulso económico de los negocios en toda 7%$ 4(5 &2) (viene de la página 4) esta área y permitirá también la creación del Parque de los Héroes que servirá para honrar a nuestras gentes que han luchado por la libertad de nuestra nación”. Una veintena de personas de Esperanza and Justice Center asistieron al evento y su portavoz Isabela Sánchez declaró: “Agradecemos al gobierno federal esta aportación que se destinará a este proyecto, solo pedimos que tomen en cuenta que la Avenida Guadalupe es parte del pasado histórico de San Antonio y que estamos de acuerdo con el progreso pero necesitamos que se respete el pasado, hay en este lugar construcciones que deben preservarse porque son parte de la vida de nuestros padres y abuelos. Reconocemos el esfuerzo y la dedicación que tienen los miembros de la Asociación de la Avenida Guadalupe ya que si no tuvieran la visión de progreso no hubieran conseguido este monto económico pero a nosotros nos interesa conservar también las construcciones antiguas”. En suma, en breve habrán de iniciarse las obras que daran un soplo de vida, progreso y crecimiento a la Avenida Guadalupe frente al Centro Cultural Guadalupe y en donde el Proyecto Promesa se hará una benéfica realidad. 3!4 35.

This credit is explained in section 901 of the income tax code. You report the tax credit on form 1116. Almost half of those filing nonresident tax returns show no tax liability because of these two codes, Sections 901 and 911. Additional forms to complete If you’re self-employed and no foreign social security is being withheld from your earnings, you must file a Schedule C with your U.S. tax return and pay U.S. selfemployment tax on your net earnings (that is, after deducting your expenses). The self-employment tax is 15.3%. It is not reduced by the foreign earned income exclusion or by foreign tax credits. If you own more than a 10% ownership in a foreign corporation, you are required to file a special form reporting that interest. If the corporation is making a profit, it will be a “controlled foreign corporation,” and you could owe U.S. tax on its earnings. If you are a beneficiary or a trustee of a foreign trust (for instance, a fideicomiso), or you have a bank account with a balance over $10,000, you must also file a special form, 3520 the first year and 3520A each succeeding. You can be fined up to $10,000 or more for not filing any of these forms—and since there is no statute of limitations, the fines can be levied many years from now when the IRS and Hacienda (Mexico’s tax department) finally start sharing information. You can also be liable for individual state income taxes. Changing citizenship to avoid taxes: Not advisable There is a special tax on former citizens and long-term permanent residents whose main reason for moving to a foreign country is to avoid U.S. income tax or estate and gift taxes. Section 877 imposes this tax regardless of your reason for changing citizenship and moving abroad. You’re subject to this tax if you’re an expatriate with a net worth of $500,000 or more (adjusted for inflation), and if your average annual net income tax Minimum Income for Filing A Non-Resident Tax Return For 2009 taxes, you don’t need to file a return unless your gross income is above the following amount: For a married couple filing a joint return: $18,700. • If one spouse is over 65 years old: $19,800. • If both spouses are over 65 years old: $20,900 For a single filer: $9,350. • For a single filer over 65 years old: $10,750. Head of household: $12,000. • Head of household over age 65: $13,400. For a qualifying widow or widower: $15,050. Also if you have W-2 income withholding tax or if you have income from self employment, where selfemployment tax is due. compliance. In the Middle East alone the number of returns filed has increased by 51% due to compliance programs. The IRS created Form 2555EZ to simplify filing. It also revised Publication 593—tax highlights for U.S. citizens and residents going abroad—to encourage taxpayers to file. In addition, Publication 519— the U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens— and the instructions to Form 1040 NR (non-resident) make former citizens and long-term resident aliens aware of their potential tax liability under Section 877. The IRS has also put a number of programs in place to identify nonfilers. If you are an expatriate and aren’t filing your U.S. taxes, keep in mind that eventually you’ll be identified as a non-filer.

All expatriates who are subject to this tax under the code have to submit a statement of residence and citizenship and a statement of assets and liabilities. If you fall into this category, the IRS automatically assumes that you’ve changed your citizenship and/or moved abroad to avoid taxes in the U.S. There is only a small class of high net worth expatriates who are not assumed to have moved or changed citizenship for tax reasons. This class is also described in Code Section 877. If you think Section 877 may affect you, it’s worth checking to see if you fall into this group. 10 LA PRENSA DE SAN ANTONIO Enero 27, 2010 THE FACE OF [ a f f o r d a b i l i t y, i n n o v a t i o n , q u a l i t y ] TEXAS TODAY AND TOMORROW At the University of the Incarnate Word, you can select from 70 affordable undergraduate, graduate and Ph.D. programs that include a global perspective and an emphasis on social justice and community service.

The Center will challenge and change overall winners here are the stu- our world for the better.” The City of San Antonio has dents and the community. There is no question that the Mission Verde allocated $1 million of its energy efficiency and conservation block grant funds towards energy improvements at the Mission Verde Center. The Texas Engineering Experiment Station’s Texas Center for Applied Technology will design, implement and monitor these improvements. “We’re all moving in the right direction,” said the Honorable Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff. “Each step we move forward, we’re seeing positive results in what we’re trying Week starting to do in San Antonio.” The City’s contribution to the campus will include a comprehensive audit of the facility to locate opportunities for advanced energy efficiency technologies. These retrofits will complement the workforce training efforts led by Alamo Colleges and San Antonio Youth Centers in weatherization, green construction and plumbing, solar power systems and smart grid systems installation. “Our role is to provide world-class training to the surrounding region and this is one of those vehicles that will allow us to do that,” said Alamo To Advertise Texas-Wide!

This is just the beginning of a long term effort and a sea of transformational change.” The Center will eventually serve as a one-stop shop for energy efficiency and resource conservation to enable private customers, developers and landlords be more efficient. As a cutting-edge, world-class center for sustainability, the Mission Verde Center will be a signature project not only for San Antonio and the South Texas region, but for the entire state of Texas. “You can see very plainly that this is an effort that has truly brought partners from all over the city together to contribute their pieces of the puzzle to make this work,” said Mayor Castro. “I hope that this will serve as a model for other cities in the nation.” 14 Empleos Eddies Taco House.

La TCEQ recibió esta solicitud el 13 de Agosto del 2009. La planta está ubicada aproximadamente 400 pies al norte de Benz-Engleman Road, aproximadamente una milla al oeste de Farm-to-Market Road1516 y aproximadamente una milla al norte de Interstate Highway 10 en el Condado de Bexar, Texas 78109.

El Director Ejecutivo de la TCEQ ha completado la revisión técnica de la solicitud y ha preparado un borrador del permiso. El borrador del permiso, si es aprobado, establecería las condiciones bajo las cuales la instalación debe operar. El Director Ejecutivo ha tomado una decisión preliminar que si este permiso es emitido, cumple con todos los requisitos normativos y legales. La solicitud del permiso, la decisión preliminar del Director Ejecutivo y el borrador del permiso están disponibles para leer y copiar en la Biblioteca Central de la Ciudad de San Antonio en la Calle Soledad #600, San Antonio, Texas. COMENTARIO PUBLICO / REUNION PUBLICA. Usted puede presentar comentarios públicos o pedir una reunión pública sobre esta solicitud. El propósito de una reunión pública es dar la oportunidad de presentar comentarios o hacer preguntas acerca de la solicitud. La TCEQ realiza una reunión pública si el Director Ejecutivo determina que hay un grado de interés público suficiente en la solicitud o si un legislador local lo pide. Una reunión pública no es una audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso. OPORTUNIDAD DE UNA AUDIENCIA ADMINISTRATIVA DE LO CONTENCIOSO. Después del plazo para presentar comentarios públicos, el Director Ejecutivo considerará todos los comentarios apropiados y preparará una respuesta a todo los comentarios públicos esenciales, pertinentes, o significativos. A menos que la solicitud haya sido referida directamente a una audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso, la respuesta a los comentarios y la decisión del Director Ejecutivo sobre la solicitud serán enviados por correo a todos los que presentaron un comentario público y a las personas que están en la lista para recibir avisos sobre esta solicitud. Si se reciben comentarios, el aviso también proveerá instrucciones para pedir una reconsideración de la decisión del Director Ejecutivo y para pedir una audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso. Una audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso es un procedimiento legal similar a un procedimiento legal civil en un tribunal de distrito del estado. PARA PEDIR UNA AUDIENCIA ADMINISTRATIVA DE LO CONTENCIOSO, USTED DEBE INCLUIR EN SU PEDIDO LOS SIGUIENTES DATOS: su nombre; dirección; teléfono; nombre del solicitante y número del permiso; la ubicación y la distancia de su propiedad/actividad con respecto a la instalación; una descripción específica de la forma cómo usted sería afectado adversamente por el sitio de una manera no común al público en general; y la declaración “[Yo/ nosotros] solicito/solicitamos un/a audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso”.

Después del cierre de los períodos para los pedidos y comentarios, el Director Ejecutivo enviará la solicitud y los pedidos para reconsideración o por una audiencia administrativa de lo contenciosos a los Comisionados de la TCEQ para su consideración en una reunión programada de la Comisión. La Comisión otorgará solamente una audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso sobre los hechos reales disputados del caso que son pertinentes y esenciales para la decisión de la Comisión sobre la solicitud. Además, la Comisión sólo otorgará una audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso sobre los asuntos que fueron presentados antes del plazo de vencimiento y que no fueron retirados posteriormente. Si ciertos criterios se cumplen, la TCEQ puede actuar sobre una solicitud para renovar un permiso para descargar aguas residuales sin proveer una oportunidad de una audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso. ACCIÓN DEL DIRECTOR EJECUTIVO. El Director Ejecutivo puede emitir una aprobación final de la solicitud a menos que exista un pedido antes del plazo de vencimiento de una audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso o se ha presentado un pedido de reconsideración. Si un pedido ha llegado antes del plazo de vencimiento de la audiencia o el pedido de reconsideración ha sido presentado, el Director Ejecutivo no emitirá una aprobación final sobre el permiso y enviará la solicitud y el pedido a los Comisionados de la TECQ para consideración en una reunión programada de la Comisión.
