hello. i'm damian. today, the spanish voice of the oakland as. we have someone in the studio and the ceo of employment training. we begin with an effort to keep the south bay healthy. sandra is the ceo. i shared the story with you before the cameras came on about at a barbecue, family barbecue and my nephew reaches into the

ice cooler. i said, hey, there's water over there. he said, why? it's only my fourth one. is it an epidemic we're dealing with in the latino community, we're in love with soda pop? >> i would say all areas but they're really strong. some sodas of 48 grams of sugar. if you divide it by four, that equals 12 teaspoons of sugar by can. you get 12 and mix it with water and 12 in the second one and mix it with water and he drank those something. it's an enormous amount of sugar. we push on water, the best for the body. but how to read labels and sugar they consume. >> i'm not a parent and can't

say anything. what are we not doing as parents that is allowing them to do this or are we setting a bad example ourselves? >> i would say, 1, 2 and 3. the first one is it's not necessarily the parents' fault if the parent doesn't know. sometimes we need to really figure out what it is our children are consuming and how it affects the body. once we do that as parents, it's a big responsibility to say, hey, we will try to be healthy and different things we're looking for because we care about your health. lastly, the child needs to know. what's the big deal? a party. i had four sodas, burning its off. in reality, they don't realize what the sugar does to their botteddy. i have statistics to share with

i if you don't mind. more than 50% of the adults in santa clara county are oh beat or overweight. we're over 60% overweight or obese. and over 50% of those girls will end up developing diabetes. it's estimated 45% of boys will develop diabetes. if they develop it before the aiming of 40, their life span is shortened between 12 and 14 years. >> anybody without a history of diabetes, can it be brought upon? >> absolutely. genes are a factor but not the ultimate determinandeterminant. we know if our grandparents had it, we're susceptible. we can put up a strong fight to

not become diabetic ourselves. >> what are you doing to get on the right track? >> we're made up of over 100 organizations and 1,000 individuals really coming together as members of the santa clara office of education, hospitals, foundations, organizations, coming together to talk about what can we do to help our community be healthier, being healthy and eating healthy is an easy choice. education and drinking sodas out and water to stay hydrated. walks with our kids to the particular. doesn't mean we have to do big things but little things we can do. try to eat at home and not eat out as much. >> it water better or con nola oil? >> oil is oil.

if we look at the portions we cook with, that will determine how we feed our bodies. we have the perfect summer weather. grill vegetables outside and you don't have to dowuse it in oil. >> i think we have switched to some of the more natural oils but the propersiblem persists. >> absolutely. we have done enough to make that dramatic change. we're not quite there yet and need help in making our children make strong and good choices for themselves to. that agency go's good. that's very healthy. cooking without so much oil is good. if we can increase fresh fruits

and vegetables and get rid of soda, that makes a big difference in meals of our families. >> stay away from chicken mcnuggets and fries. this. >> we are located at www.healthysilic www.healthysiliconvalley.com. look at our website and we will have a lot of events. >> .com, not.org? >>.org. >> thank you for the work you're doing to educate us. >> next up, t center for employment training. stay with us.

she's the leader of very successful employment for training. happy 43rd birthday. >> thank you, damien. >> because of cet, i have an older brother and my only

sister, it's what got them out of the fields. it allowed them to get a career not in agriculture. my roots go back a long way and thank you for what you did. tell us about cet and why this is a huge event. >> every time i hear stories of like the one you just chaired with me, make me so proud what we have been able to do for 43 years. the reason for my being here is we are celebrating 43 years with a celebration at the fairmont hotel, an event that will be exciting. we want to showcase the accomplishments of cet as well as accomplishments of so many students that have transformed their lives by coming to cet. >> we have video of the ribbon cutting of one of your events,

cets staffing agency. we want to show you footage. you've given people who maybe thought they didn't have a chance at a technical career, it gave them that chance. >> most of the people who come to cet have knocked on many doors. because of the language barrier or backgrounds or lack of experience, don't find the opportunities to expand their skills and to get on sure footing for a career. it's a great opportunity for people who don't have that chance elsewhere. >> you opened the eyes nationwide. you had senator barbara box are the not too long ago, she's running for office, reelection, nonetheless, she was there supporting the work and learning about the work at cet. >> we were honored to have senator boxer tour our center

about two weeks ago. it was an exciting day for our students who don't get the opportunity to be engaged in the politics of electing a senator. she was here for -- to speak about jobs and job training. she's very, very involved in supporting the administration to expand and create jobs. we were honored to have her. >> absolutely. we will talk specifically about your celebration and get into whatever it is you might want to get across to our viewers. great headliners. your keynote speaker was amazing and so is the entertainment. >> our key note speaker is a great person whom i have had the honor of hearing speak. that's astronaut jose hernandez, who comes to us from washington d.c. where he works and resides. the second headliner is little

joey. we have a little history with little joe. he has been with us at all our anniversaries. when i called him, i think he was already booked but somehow managed, agreed to come. we like him and he likes us. >> why is it important to have jose, to have little joe and to have it at the fairmont? why are we celebrating in such a huge fashion, the 43rd anniversary? >> we don't celebrate every year, so when we do, we try to do a really really good event. i had the opportunity of listening to jose. he represents so many of our students as well as so many of our staff. his story is very familiar to all of us. she was a fa she -- he reached for the stars and he reached the stars. that's what we tell our students. the sky is the limit, go for it.

it's very very symbolic for us to have jose as our keynote speaker. little joe, because he's the greatest and the fairmont, becauser where downtown. we want to be in the center of things. >> it is awesome. it will take a student how long to become accredited and certified? >> an average of six months. it is full time. most institutions require at least two years because they offer classes part-time. ours is full time. intense, students are able to obtain their training and circuit in six months. >> that is a commitment on their part, a special opportunity, the doors that you've opened for them. the bash is anticipating august 27th at the fairmont.

logon to cet.org for little joe and the astronaut. any final thoughts? >> we hope everyone watching your program, damien, will come to the event. because we will all go away very very proud. >> very true. thank you so much for the work you're doing in our community, the center for employment training. up next, the spanish voir yu your oakland athletics.

he's the spanish voice of your oakland athletics, my guest here. i met you when i first started my television career at telemundo 16 years ago. you were doing sports for telemundo back then and probably looked back and said, who the heck is this clown? >> i was 6 years old. >> welcome to this show. glad to have you back. >> thank you.

>> we want to show you something. you were part of american history and called the no hitter of dallas oakland as a month ago. he had an amazing call in spanish and want to thank the station you caption for. >> baseball.net. >> the call of the perfect game. [ speaking spanish ] [ speaking

spanish ]. >> it was crazy. >> it was crazy and a spectacular day. it was mother's day, cancer awareness day and dallas died in stockton when he was a teenager. here is his grandmother hugging him in the cancer awareness day on mother's day. hollywood spielberg couldn't write this. >> were you shaking? were you nervous? excited? what was it knowing you were not away from history? >> i've been doing baseball for 33 years, since 1977. you never think of a perfect game. this is the only perfect game between the giants and as. in 1968, jim catfish hunter threw one for the as. giants nerve had one and this is the first one for the a's in oak land with dallas. at the end, you know he's retired 24 in a row. it's wonderful. something no other sports

offered that individual accomplishment like baseball. >> congratulations. that was a great cal. >> thank you. >> congratulations. what's it like to be the spanish voice of oakland as. you've been the giant. what's it like to be the spanish voice? it's a big deal. >> i lived in oakland the past 30 years. i did the as before 1977. 27% of major league payers are hispanic now. when i started it was 2%. i covered 1999, the earthquake, candlestick park, when that happened, october 17th. this is just another memory, nothing like baseball when you have a perfect game and world series. it's unique and i do this because i like it. not for the money. if it was for the money, i'd be selling cars. >> we know in college i followed someone around that showed me the ropes.

is jaime your man? >> yes. i work with him on the fox network for spanish. he's been doing the dodgers 52 years. after jaime, there's only one guy in front of me, ramirez, 86 years old still broadcasting the marlins and i'm third in seniority. >> you get paid go to the ballpark? >> yes. it's funny, i love it. i get home, i watch another game. my wife says, wait a minute, you just came from calling a game. i like it and i'm blessed i'm doing something i really like. >> in our next segment, we will switch it around and get harder on the questions that the manager of the chicago white sox said a few things about latinos in baseball that started controversy and we'll ask about that in the next segment. this is a fun and loving segment. do you ever see yourself

retiring? vince scully has been working -- >> he's retiring after 56 years. i still love what i do. >> you get there at what time and you're locking the batting cage? >> for a 7:00 game, you get there at 3:30, 4:00, want to see batting practice, how the players feel, anybody hurt, talk to the manager. it's more than the three hours you're on the air. you're working the day at least. >> do others have a hispanic voice? >> no. there's an hispanic market. center royals doesn't have it, but the yankees, team in miami, tampa bay. i would say 15 out of 30 broadcast in spanish, which is 50%. >> that's not bad. >> you're actually in line for the radio bay area hall of fame.

we'll talk about it in our next segment or logon to radio hall of fame.org and the hispanic baseball museum.com has hisel c. stay with us. we'll be right back. so hot, rattlesnakes... combust, spontaneously. we're drawn like moths to a flaming jalapeño. but, you gotta eat bold, know what i'm sayin. [ male announcer ] subway has turned up the heat! introducing subway fiery footlong subs. the hot new turkey jalapeño melt and bold-acious buffalo chicken. eat bold! [ biker ] subway fiery footlong subs, burn the wimp right outta ya.

we're back with the spanish voice of the oakland as. before we talk about osi gguill let's talk about the hall of fame, do they vote on the broadcasters? >> yes. news and sports. i was the first hispanic in the sports category. i'm very proud, been doing it so long. it's called the radio hall of fame and will announce it. >> you've also been nominated for another award? >> i'm in the hall of sports fame in miami and in san francisco and been nominated for

this four years in a row. >> what's that mean? >> prestige. i work with a lot of people and easy going and enjoy what i do and it comes through. leave the rest whatever. i've done tv and radio most of my life and writing a lot, too. with the internet, it's a different world. i wish i was 25. i get communications from spain, all over the world. that's great. >> they say you and i who are older are digital immigrants and those between 1 and 25 are digital natives because they're born with this technology. we had to evolve. >> i learned from my kids and i'm an immigrant twice, from cuba and now the internet. incredible. i do learn. >> ozzie gee enis tuillen is th of the white sox. he made comments when ever a japanese or asian pitcher, consider reiay

consider -- korean said they get a translator to help them out. they said that's not the same with the latino player. they were charged words and you agree with him. >> i would say that's true. it's more of an economic problem and japan is a rich company. i worked with the seattle mariners and ichiro got two interpreters. i agree with ozzie, i don't know it's racial but economic. ozzie has to correct that. most of the players from out of the united states are poor, third world countries. maybe it's the contract with the union. it have to be fixed, one thing the commissioner to have look. i agree, it's a double standard for japanese players. and baseball is a number one player. i love ozzie because he tells you what he feels, the way it

should be. >> do you yourself go out on the limb? >> sure. i mention it on the radio. we're talking sports, not solving any wars. the half hour of sports, diet 3 1/2 hours ad-lib everyday, when you do a baseball game, there's no school for that. say as you feel it. i say how i feel and talk about steroids, too, i try not to be controversial and here's the only latino manager to win a world series in 2005 with the white sox. i agree with him. it's still a free country. we should say what we feel as long as we know how to say it. >> tom had a rational explanation. he said, when they bring these pitchers from japan and korea, they're the cream of the crop, coming in, being paid $55 million. it's an investment. you have to take care of them, whereas some of the latino players are not paying them all that kind of money and why it's

not that big of an investment for the owners. >> that's correct. most japanese play irs play 10, 15 years in their own country. when ichiro came here, they were not rookies. you have guys from the dominican 20 years old. and the one from the rangers is 21. they're so young and haven't learned the language in their country. major league baseball have to correct that and sometimes they're misinterpreted. the l.a. area is quiet. and in new york, there's no mercy. they're really tough. >> we have the hall of fame voting that has actually ended already. we will see the results, pretty soon amadi gets in and the nbc baseball, hopefully he gets in.

>> nice to see you, you're young as ever. 16 years ago. >> i keep the hair short. it gets rid of the white hair. >> i watch you. i know it's in the morning now and used to be at night. >> we flip-flop but people who dvr it go back. >> you know what that is? >> 8-track. >> thanks for joining us. >> you'll have it first. >> here's what's happening in your community.

[ speaking spanish ]. >> our address for next week, remember to pick up a copy of our newspaper an support your bilingual weeklies all across the bay area. thank you for sharing another sunday with us once again. next week at 10:30 here, training our fut le s.ader latino leaders.
