BJJH recognizes students of the month
The Bernards Jaime Junior
High school faculty has selected
three Students of the Month, one
for each of the schools grade lev-
els.
The sixth grade recipient for
the month of January is Moises
Ruvalcaba III. The seventh grade
student receiving the award is Jes-
sica Valerio. The eighth grader
receiving the honor is Zandra
Ileana Sendejo.
All three students participate in
numerous extracurricular activi-
ties.
Twelve year-old Moises, the
son of Doris and Moises Ruval-
caba, is a soccer and football en-
thusiast who loves to go fishing.
Jessica, daughter of Elena and
David Valerio, enjoys collecting
business cards and match books.
Zandra, daughter of Mario R. and
Nora Sendejo, is an Altar Server
and keeps herself quite busy in
band, kickball, and U.I.L spelling,
calculator, general math, and sci-
ence
The three students agree that
the school and the city of San
Diego need various kinds of edu-
cational or recreational facilities.
Moises believes our city needs
a soccer field where participants
can enjoy games and tourna-
ments. Another improvement
Moises would add is a larger caf-
eteria at B.J.J.H.
Jessica thinks San Diego
should have a mall “so no one
should go shopping in Alice,
Texas.” She also feels that her
school needs a swimming pool
and thereby have a swim team.
Zandra recommends youth
centers, “where kids can relax.”
Zandra also touts peer advisers to
advise students of similar age lev-
els.
Neither Jessica or Zandra can
imagine themselves living and
working in San Diego in 10 years.
Opting to attend a reputable
college, Jessica would prefer to
live elsewhere and “to be on her
own.” Nonetheless, Jessica is
Heart disease
deaths are up in
Duval County
AUSTIN—On an average say
in Texas 1S2 residents die from
cardiovascular diseases, according
to data released by the American
Heart Association (AHA), Texas
Affiliate.
More than half of Duval
County deaths get be attributed to
cardiovascular disease. Cardio-
vascular deaths in Duval County
jumped by over 15 percent in
1996.
The AHA compiled these sta-
tistics using 1995 mortality infor-
mation recently released from the
Texas Department of Health.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD)
remains the number one killer in
Texas, claiming the lives of 55,500
people in 1996 (39.7 percent of the
139,678 Texas residents died).
That translates into two of every
five deaths.
As a comparison, in the same
year cancer was the state’s second
leading cause of death, claiming
31,959 lives. Accidents accounted
for 7,217 deaths and 2,061 people
died of human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV) infection in 1996.
Of the 135 deaths in Duval
County in 1996, 75 or 55.6 per-
cent were attributed to cardiovas-
cular disease. That is up from 46
CVD deaths in 1995.

Nationally, statistics show that
from 1985 to 1995 the number of
deaths from cardiovascular dis-
ease has declined only 2.8 percent.
One reason for this small decline
is that the total U.S. population,
and particularly the population of
increasing.
Another reason is that recent
advances in medical treatment
have allowed more people to sur-
vive previously fatal cardiovascu-
lar events, and now these people
are dying of subsequent cardiovas-
cular illnesses.
The mission of the AHA is to
reduce disability and death from
cardiovascular diseases and
stroke. To accomplish this, the as-
sociation concentrates its efforts in
four areas: education, community
service programs, research and
revenue generation.
Last year the Texas Affiliate
reached over four million people
in Texas with interactive programs
and awarded over $7 million in
research funding in Texas.
To reduce your risk of heart
attack and stroke, the AHA recom-
mends having your blood pressure
checked regularly, not smoking,
eating nutritious foods in moder-
ate amounts, having regular medi-

willing to return to San Diego to
raise her family.
Because of “the increased
crime rate and the decreased
economy,” Zandra would not re-
main in San Diego.
On the other hand, Moises
feels the town is both peaceful and
safe.
Not surprisingly, all three
BJJH students admit that one of
the many pressures facing stu-
dents today involves drugs and
alcohol. To overcome the pres-
sures, the students would reevalu-
ate friendships and seek advice
from counselors.
Contributions to the commu-
ility by these students are quite
diverse. Zandra has served as an
Altar Server the past three years.
Jessica has entertained the com-
munity as a band member the past
two years. Moises has goals to
represent his community in the
future as a good role model with
accomplishments in both academ-
ics and sports.
