AHIA prepares
Women’s March largest
clients for 2017
in U.S. history, local
insurance coverage photographer contributes

A local company is ready to
help families in San Antonio obtain the best insurance for their
needs during the New Year.
Affordable Health Insurance
Agency (AHIA) is available to
assist those who want to enroll in the Affordable Care Act
(ACA) to find insurance before
the deadline of Jan.31.
The agency’s secret formula
is working closely with several
top-rated insurance companies
so that clients can find the best
company that fits their personal
and financial needs, whether
they are looking for health insurance, senior supplements, property and casualty, life insurance,
annuity or dental and vision insurance. Since opening in 1995,
the multi-line insurance agency
has been on a mission to help
families analyze their insurance
needs and find an affordable
protection plan that will meet
the family’s requirements.
“We practice the same hos-
pitality that we would to our
own blood. To make the ambience more relaxing, we offer
refreshments to make the clients’
experience more comfortable,”
Founder/CEO Joe Chetwood
told La Prensa. “We want to
make sure that they are taken
care of… We have a lot of reps
that work with us in San Antonio, and we are very fortunate
that they practice the same philosophy from home and bring it
here to the office.”
Texas is the uninsured capital
of the United States, stated the
Texas Medical Association.
More than 4.3 million Texans,
including 623,000 children,
lack health insurance. In Bexar
County, 23 percent of people
under the age of 65 do not have
health insurance.
President Donald Trump announced that his first executive
order is going to be to dismantle
a piece of the ACA, which
many have predicted is going
to deflate. As of February 2016,
there are at least 20 million
Americans enrolled in the ACA

the event in front of the state
Capitol.
Apart from being the largest
demonstration, it was also the
most peaceful protest with zero
arrests made - a vast difference
from the 230 protesters that
were arrested in Washington,
D.C. alone on Inauguration
Day that now face felony rioting
charges as major establishment
buildings and vehicles were
destroyed.
San Antonio held its own
march on Saturday and began in
front of City Hall as an estimated
1,500 people protested locally.
They were joined by District 4
Councilman Rey Saldaña, who
had tweeted, “Democracy is
alive when citizens come off the
sidelines and activate their voice.
San Antonio has come to play.
Standing shoulder 2 shoulder”
from the event.
Though not in attendance,

Popovich very out-of-character-ly

On Friday, Jan. 20, around
230,000 people gathered
around the National Mall area
in Washington, D.C. to witness
the inauguration of Donald
Trump as the 45th president of
the United States. On Saturday,
Jan. 21, more than 500,000
peaceful protesters gathered in
the same area to protest our new
president and his administration’s rhetoric.
The Women’s March on
Washington contributed to the
largest protest demonstration in
U.S. history. Crowd scientists
and public transportation systems have estimated that more
than 3 million citizens from
more than 500 cities all over the
country gathered and marched
in support of women’s rights,
LBGTQ rights, immigrant’s
rights and civil rights that they
feel are threatened with this new
administration.
The demonstration spread
with thousands protesting across
all seven continents, even Antarctica. Cities that drew the largest crowds included Chicago,
in which the march had to be
turned into a rally due to the
large number of attendees, Los
Angeles, New York and Austin.
“The tens of thousands of
women and men who locked
arms and marched in Austin
are ready to continue the fight.
Elected officials, from the White
House to the County Court
House, need to realize we will
be silent no more, and we will

liers to voice his opinions about
the new president and praise the
actions of those who took to the
streets to protest earlier that day.
“The march today was great.
The message is important. It
could have been a whole lot of
groups marching. Somebody
said on TV, ‘What’s the message?’ The message is obvious.
Our president comes in with
the lowest rating of anybody
whoever came into the office.
There’s a majority of people
out there, since Hillary won the
popular vote, that don’t buy his
act,” he stated.
Though perhaps not in numbers, San Antonio was represented in a different way. Local

between the Marketplace, Medicaid expansion, young adults
staying on their parents plan
and other coverage provisions,
according to the ObamaCare
website.
However, AHIA welcomes everyone to see what their options
are before the deadline. AHIA
has proved to be the trustworthy
company to rely on when you
are in need of coverage.
For the past 22 years, 95
photographer Arlene Mejorado
has traveled near and far photographing people in their natural
elements and cultures. Through
the “We the People” campaign,
she was presented with the opportunity to work with other artists such as Shepard Fairey, the
artist who created the Obama
“Hope” poster, to spread a unifying message in the form a photo
series of strong multi-cultural
women, one in which she got
to share with the entire nation.
“A lot of the women I have
crossed paths with in San Antonio are a powerful force of justice
and love. Last year, I had the
opportunity to work with some
amazing mujeres in organizing

the Woman’s Day March,” Mejorado told La Prensa. “These
women have been holding it
down for many years. It really
left an imprint on me about the
kind of people I want to photograph and highlight. Maribel
Valdez Gonzalez [photo subject]
is not only one of my best friends
in San Antonio, but an example
of the fierce women of color that
hold the city together. She is an
educator, a critical mind; and
for me, she is also a woman of
healing medicine.”
Through crowd funding and
national support, the campaign
created posters for Inauguration
Day and the Women’s March
and took out ads in major
newspapers to display powerful
images.
This campaign with the Amplifier Foundation has supported
Mejorado in celebrating just one
of the many faces that she thinks
represent the revolutionary and
forward thinkers of Texas.
“I am glad it is part of this international campaign. Women
all over the world have expressed that they identify with
the image and Maribel’s story
in some way. I have watched
people project their hopes and
dreams onto this art, and I am
glad it provides some comfort
and inspiration for so many
in these dark times. I feel overwhelmed with gratitude, and
tinued Chetwood. “We don’t
have a machine that answers the
phone, we always have a live
person… we have actually saved
our customers a lot of money…
Most of our clients, who have
renewed their benefits with us,
have switched companies four
or five different times because
every year, there is a company
that changes.”
In the future, AHIA would
like to expand with its clientele
and open more locations around
the region. As for now, AHIA is
ready for a year to help those in
need of any insurance, whether
they are new or current faces,
the full family experience. The
agency is also currently looking
to expand their dedicated team.
“We are always looking for
new agents that are interested in
helping the senior population…
We are always hiring and looking for people who feel good

I also feel socially responsible
to encourage more women to

and representation,” Mejorado

percent of AHIA’s customers
are satisfied with their services.
They have expanded to more
than 100,000 clients, 40 employees, and 13 offices in Houston, McAllen, Austin, Del Rio
and El Paso to clients who are
eager to keep their health and
surroundings in check.
“I would say most of our clients are happy with the services
we provide because my staff
goes above and beyond,” con-
about what they do every day.
We get along with everybody,
and we are a family,” concluded
Chetwood.

los ritmos originales de África
traídos a al continente americano por esclavos cautivos de
los portugueses.

IDEA Public Schools celebrates
National School Choice Week
By Jennifer Flores
This week, IDEA Public
Schools will join thousands of
schools, districts and communities in recognition of National
School Choice Week (NSCW).
NSCW is an initiative created
to shine a positive spotlight on
effective education options for
children, including traditional
public schools, public charter
schools, magnet schools, private
schools, online learning and
homeschooling.
IDEA believes that every child,
regardless of race or income,
should have access to a highquality education. Across our
regions, thousands of students
are in need of a quality education
and the achievement gap is starkly
present. More educational choice
and high-quality school options
can help reverse this trend.
Throughout the week, IDEA
will host and attend positive
events that celebrate school choice
options, while drawing attention
to the need for even greater education opportunities for children.
IDEA will end the week with its
2017-18 application deadline on
Jan. 27, followed by hosting the
annual IDEA lottery on Saturday,
Jan. 28 and randomly select the
students who will fill the coveted
spots for the upcoming school
year.
“As a parent, I value having the
choice to decide what school is
best for my child,” said Osvaldo
Leal, a parent at IDEA Brownsville. “Every parent wants the
best education for their child. We
want the best teachers who are
committed to providing a quality
education to their students, and I
found that at IDEA.”
Since 2001, IDEA Public
Schools has grown from a small
school with 150 students to
the fastest-growing network of
tuition-free, Pre-K-12 public
charter schools in the United
States. IDEA, which serves nearly
30,000 students at 51 schools
across the Rio Grande Valley,
Austin and San Antonio, continues to rank among the best charter schools in the state and nation,
and is on-track to maintain its placed on the waiting list, and throughout the year.

“When JoAnn Gama and I
started IDEA 17 years ago in the
Rio Grande Valley, we wanted to
provide a free, quality education
option for families to send their

nombre; De allí a un afluente sin nombre; Desde allí hasta Salado Creek. La TCEQ recibió esta solicitud el 17 de octubre de 2016. La solicitud para el permiso está
disponible para leerla y copiarla en City Public Service, 145 Navarro, San Antonio, Texas. Este enlace a un mapa electrónico de la ubicación general del sitio o de la
instalación es proporcionado como una cortesía y no es parte de la solicitud o del aviso. Para la ubicación exacta, consulte la solicitud.
http://www.tceq.texas.gov/assets/public/hb610/index.html?lat=29.530273&lng=-98.41887&zoom=13&type=r
AVISO ADICIONAL. El Director Ejecutivo de la TCEQ ha determinado que la solicitud es administrativamente completa y conducirá una revisión técnica de la solicitud.
Después de completar la revisión técnica, el Director Ejecutivo puede preparar un borrador del permiso y emitirá una Decisión Preliminar sobre la solicitud. El aviso de
la solicitud y la decisión preliminar serán publicados y enviado a los que están en la lista de correo de las personas a lo largo del condado que desean recibir
los avisos y los que están en la lista de correo que desean recibir avisos de esta solicitud. El aviso dará la fecha límite para someter comentarios públicos.
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 adminis­
trativa 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”. Si presenta por parte de un grupo o asociación el pedido para una
audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso, debe identificar el nombre y la dirección de una persona que representa al grupo para recibir correspondencia
en el futuro; debe identificar un miembro del grupo que sería afectado adversamente por la planta o la actividad propuesta; debe proveer la información ya
indicada anteriormente con respecto a la ubicación del miembro afectado y la distancia de la planta o actividad propuesta; debe explicar como y porqué
el miembro sería afectado y como los intereses que el grupo desea proteger son pertinentes al propósito del grupo.
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 un 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 presen­
tados 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.
LISTA DE CORREO. Si somete comentarios públicos, un pedido para una audiencia administrativa de lo contencioso o una reconsideración de la decisión del Director
Ejecutivo, la Oficina del Secretario Principal enviará por correo los avisos públicos en relación con la solicitud. Ademas, puede pedir que la TCEQ ponga su nombre
en una or mas de las listas correos siguientes (1) la lista de correo permanente para recibir los avisos de el solicitante indicado por nombre y número del permiso
específico y/o (2) la lista de correo de todas las solicitudes en un condado especifico. Si desea que se agrega su nombre en una de las listas designe cual lista(s) y
envia por correo su pedido a la Oficina del Secretario Principal de la TCEQ.
CONTACTOS E INFORMACIÓN DE LA TCEQ. Todos los comentarios escritos del público y los pedidos para una reunión deben ser presentados a la Oficina
del Secretario Principal, MC 105, TCEQ, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087 o por el internet at www.tceq.texas.gov/about/comments.html. Si necesita

Kawhi Leonard selected as starter
for the 2017 NBA All-Star Game
By Spurs Sports &
Entertainment
The NBA announced that
San Antonio Spurs forward
Kawhi Leonard has been selected to be a starter in the
2017 All-Star Game. The sixthyear Spur was voted by fans,
players and media into the
game to be held on Sunday,
Feb. 19 in New Orleans. Now
named a starter in back-toback seasons after making his
first All-Star appearance last
year, Leonard becomes the
fifth Spurs player in franchise
history to be selected as an
All-Star starter more than once,
joining George Gervin, Alvin
Robertson, David Robinson
and Tim Duncan.
Leonard has helped lead
the Spurs to a 33-9 record
this season and was part of
making 2016 San Antonio’s
winningest calendar year in
franchise history (66-15). The
NBA’s Defensive Player of the
Year in each of the last two
seasons, Leonard is averaging
career highs in points (24.8
ppg), assists (3.1 apg), free
throw percentage (.907, 253279) and minutes (33.2 mpg),
also posting 5.7 rebounds and
1.85 steals per game while
shooting .488 (318-651) from
the floor and .417 (80-192)
from long distance in 39 appearances.
The 2014 NBA Finals MVP
currently ranks fourth in the
NBA in free throw percentage, sixth in steals and 10th in
scoring. Posting 12 games with
30-or-more points, he has the
most 30-point games by a Spur
in the first half of the season
since David Robinson’s 13 in
1995-96. Leonard is the only
player in the NBA averaging at
least 20.0 points while shooting over 40.0 percent from
three-point range and 90.0 percent from the free throw line.
This season, Leonard made
his 300th career start and
registered 235 wins in those
games, the most of any player
in league history through 300
starts. Leonard currently has
the highest winning percentage
in NBA history (.780, 283-80)
out of all players who have
played at least 350 games.
His current 24.8 points per
game is the highest scoring
average by a Spurs player since
Duncan averaged 25.5 points
in his 2001-02 MVP season.
Having scored double figures
in each of the last 73 games,
Leonard’s active streak is the
longest by a Spur since Duncan’s 75 straight in 2005. With
30-or-more points in each of
his last four contests, Leonard
became the first player in San
Antonio franchise history to
ever post at least 30 points
while shooting at least 60.0
percent in four straight games.
Joining Leonard as Western
Conference starters are: Stephen Curry (Golden State),
James Harden (Houston), Kevin Durant (Golden State) and
Anthony Davis (New Orleans).
The 66th NBA All-Star Game
will tip off on Sunday, Feb. 19
at the Smoothie King Center in
New Orleans. The game will be
seen by fans in more than 200
countries and territories and
will be heard in more than 40
languages. TNT will televise
the All-Star Game in the U.S.
for the 15th consecutive year.
