GUS SancheZ
A CARING VISIONARY
bY rAY DiZAZZO
That’s how most of us would define a
visionary, and Gus Sanchez fits that definition to a “T” . As Operations Manager at
Republic Services of Oxnard, and founder
of the non-profit organization, Community Among Friends, he envisions a cleaner,
safer, and more prosperous future for the
city . And just how does he feel that vision
can become a reality? “Education is the
key,” he says, with an optimistic smile . “We
have to educate our young people about
the planet and our city . And we have to
make them partners in creating a better
future .”
It’s that unique ability to visualize positive new horizons and his power to bring
people together in that effort that won
Sanchez the 2012 Ventura County Leadership Academy’s “Distinguished Community Leader of the Year” Award . In October,
he was honored with the award during a
special luncheon at the prestigious
Spanish Hills Golf and Country Club .
Born and raised in Oxnard, Sanchez graduated from Channel Islands High School .
Soon after, he served in the Army for
eight years where he successfully completed both the “Primary Leadership” and
“Non-Commissioned Officer” schools .
The more we talked, the more I realized
one simple word could sum up Sanchez’s
personality: caring . “It’s not about Gus
Sanchez,” he says, “it’s about being part of
something good –working together with
good people, and seeing the wonderful
things we can do to make Oxnard a better
place for us all .”
So what’s next for the caring visionary
with the optimistic smile? Sanchez will
continue to help shape the future of Oxnard – supporting new businesses, more
jobs and a growing educated population
to fill those jobs – or in his words, “Exciting new horizons!”
“We have to edu-
cate our young people about the planet
and our city. and
we have to make
them partners in
creating a better
future.”

Honoring Healthy Life Choices
“Celebrando una vida saludable”
bY nAttY riOS-SipES AnD pEDrO A. cHAvEZ
Like many in nuestra communidad, Natty and
I are part of a generation of Latino children
and familias growing up in the 1980’s watching sitcoms portraying the American family.
Every week we watched in awe at the lives these
fictional families led on television, and hoped
one day we too would live the lifestyles offered
by the American dream in our daily lives.
One of those sitcoms was Growing Pains featuring actors Alan Thicke, Joanna Kerns, Kirk
Cameron, Tracey Gold and Jeremy Miller each
playing a starring role of the “Seaver” family
for more than seven years. Each week we tuned
in, watched, laughed, and at times walked away
with a life lesson or two disguised in a script of
good humor and funny antics.
Recently, Big Brothers Big Sisters honored
one of those actors, Tracey Gold, who played
“Carol Seaver,” a nerdy teen character who
later went on to acting in numerous television
movies, and last year became the host of a
Lifetime reality show called Starving Secrets.
Many might not know that Gold battled eating
disorders, like anorexia for years, which almost
took her life.
Big Brothers Big Sisters serves more than 1,000
Latino children and families facing adversity
by providing one-on-one mentoring relationships by caring adult role models to ensure
they succeed in school and life. The organization held a champagne luncheon called “Bags,
Bling & Bubbly” for women to raise financial
resources to support youth mentoring programs countywide.
Big Brothers Big Sisters selected Tracey Gold
as the “Wise Wonderful Woman of the Year”
because her life struggle exemplifies how one
overcomes adversity. Her advocacy work on
women’s health issues makes her an inspiration
to young girls in the community.
“I want to create a social consciousness about
eating disorders faced by so many young
ladies,” said Tracey Gold. “By sharing my story,
I wish to inspire young women to build their
self-esteem and self-worth and mentoring is a
great way to accomplish that. I am so honored
to have received this award from Big Brothers
Big Sisters an organization that is truly making
a positive impact on our country’s youth.”
To learn more about becoming a mentor to
Latino children and youth in the community
visit LatinoBigs.org.

Como muchos en nuestra comunidad Latina,
crecimos viendo las telecomedias durante los
años 1980. Mirábamos a familias americanas
ficcionales con la esperanza de que un día
nosotros también podriamos vivir un estilo de
vida como ellos.
Uno de estos programas fue “Growing Pains”
con los actores, Alan Thicke, Joanna Kerns,
Kirk Cameron, Tracey Gold y Jeremy Miller,
ellos representaron la familia Seaver por más
de siete años. Recientemente, la organización
Big Brothers Big Sisters honraron a la actriz
Tracey Gold como la “Mujer sabia y maravillosa del año” (Wise Wonderful Woman of the
Year )por su dedicación a la salud de las mujeres. Ella ha sido una inspiración a jóvencitas
en la comunidad.
La misión de Gold es crear consciencia social
entre la comunidad sobre los desordenes alimenticios que afectan a muchas mujeres. Ella
nos compartio su historia sobre su lucha contra
la anorexia, al mismo tiempo nos dijo que ella
desea inspirar a las jóvenes para que desarrollen mas su autoestima.
Big Brothers Big Sisters sirve a más de 1.000
niños y familias latinas que enfrentan la adversidad, ofrece un tutor ejemplar a cada niño,
para asegurar que tenga éxito en la escuela y la
vida.

a dreaM Wedding of a lifeTiMe
To onlookers it might have
seemed like just another wedding
– the bride, lovely and glowing in her
gown, and the groom, handsome and
nervous at her side. Some might have
even thought it a little odd that her
two children accompanied her into the
church. But those who knew the bride
and groom saw much more than just
another wedding. They saw the dream
of a lifetime coming true – literally.
You see the bride, 24 year old
AlbaYaning, is dying of cancer.
And the groom, 25 year old Angel
Mendoza III, is making sure that the most
important dream of her lifetime comes
true – to not only be the proud mother
of two amazing children, but also the
husband of the man she loves.
Even with the best of intentions, a
wedding is no small undertaking.
Luckily, the couple had the help
and support of family, friends and
18 | www.divatu.com
the women of Madrinas del Rebozo,
who coordinated the event. And to
everyone’s credit, it came off flawlessly.
The settings, Mary Star of the Sea
Catholic Church and the lavish Four
Point Sheraton, Ventura, were a blend of
traditional and modern elegance that
was prefect for just such an occasion.
Alba put it simply in her words of
gratitude to those who made her dream
a reality, “They dotted every “i” and
crossed every “t”. It was a dream come
true, and I know now that nothing else
matters, but to love and live your life to
the fullest each and every day, hour and
second.”
It was obvious how much those words
meant to Alba and Angel, as the priest
pronounced them husband and
wife. The couple kissed and turned
to cheering friends and relatives, both
overflowing with love, and deeply
grateful for each and every moment they
will share together.
