Senator Salazar’s statement on
Mike Brown’s resignation from FEMA
Last week I asked President Bush to fire Mike Brown. He has now
resigned. That step is important for the President and the Nation in
attempting to regain credibility and confidence in the leadership of
FEMA.
This resignation is a rare instance of personal accountability in
Washington, but it does not solve the problems that Hurricane victims
still face, and it will not make us better prepared for the next
catastrophe. The federal presence on the ground has improved over
the last week. The influx of thousands of National Guard troops has
greatly improved security. The levee breaches are being fixed, and
the water is being pumped out of New Orleans. Victims are starting
to get emergency cash infusions to help bring their lives somewhat
back to normal. However, there is still a great deal of work to do.
The Consulate General of

GSA Warns Of Scams In The Wake
Of Hurricane Katrina
The public is being warned to
watch out for dangers posed by
scam artists who would prey off
the generosity of Americans
wanting to donate money to the
disaster relief efforts. To make
sure donations get to hurricane
victims, the General Services
Administration (GSA) and the
Federal Trade Commission
(FTC) have put together these
tips to protect the public:
*Beware of phony e-mails
soliciting money on behalf of
well-known charities. There are
many web sites claiming to
collect donations for Hurricane
Katrina victims that may not be
legitimate. FTC advises you to
never click on any link in an e-mail
solicitation because you may end
up at a site that looks real but is
set up by identity thieves to get
confidential information. For
example, if you get an e-mail from
the Red-Cross, close the e-mail
and instead go to the Red Cross
Web site, or phone them.
*Donate to established charities or
nationally known organizations.
For a list of reputable
organizations, visit http://
www.FirstGov.gov and click on
“How You Can Help.”
*Donate to charities you have
given to before.
*Watch out for charities that
have sprung up overnight. They
may be well-meaning, but may
lack the infrastructure to provide
assistance.
*Do not give out personal or
financial information -including
your Social Security number or
credit card and bank account
numbers - to anyone who solicits
a contribution from you. Scam
artists use this information to
commit fraud against you.

The Colorado Trust Grant funds new nursing faculty positions at Adams
State
Adams State College and
Trinidad State Junior College have
increased the number of nursing
faculty thanks to the Health
Professions Initiative Grant by The
Colorado Trust received this
summer.
The grant will provide, in part,
two nurse educators hired by
Adams State College in a
collaborative role to:
• Increase the number of nursing
students admitted to and
graduating from the Adam State
and TSJC nursing programs.
•
Enhance the teaching
competence of the Adams State
and TSJC nursing instructors.
• Enhance the quality of nursing
care provided to persons in the
Adams State and TSJC service
communities.
Lasca Beck and JoAnn
Crownover joined Amanda Jojola
and Vicki Brownrigg as faculty in
Bachelor of Science in Nursing
program at Adams State College.
According to Dr. Frank Novotny,
associate provost, the grant award
total is $330,048 to be disbursed
over a three-year period. “These
are nurse educator positions and
the faculty will be teaching classes
at Adams State and Trinidad State
Junior College Valley campus,”
said Novotny. “These joint
appointments will allow for
mentoring and collaboration
between the faculty of both
institutions, will enhance the
educational experience for the
students, and improve the
matriculation of students from the
RN program into the BSN.”
Brownrigg, RN, FNP, PhD, and
director of nursing education, said
she is excited about the
possibilities for nursing students
on both campuses. “I am very
excited to have and all the years
of nursing experience brought to
Adams State. We benefit, and so
does TSJC. Lasca, JoAnn and
Amanda will be excellent mentors
to their current faculty,” said
Brownrigg.
Jojola, RN, FNP, MSN, and
Adams State nursing instructor,
said she believes the grant money
will be well spent. “With the

Job seekers must investigate prospective
employers
With unemployment in Southern
Colorado at more than 5 percent,
coupled with the anticipated influx
of Hurricane Katrina victims who
are out of work, looking for a job
can be a challenge.
The Better Business Bureau of
Southern Colorado has received
calls from the public explaining
that they have responded to
advertisements for jobs in
newspapers that turned out to be a
scam to gather personal
information.
The BBB has also received
complaints about organizations
that invite the public to attend a
free seminar. Although the job
seeker attends hoping for
employment opportunities, the
sponsoring company is there to sell
various products and services.
These companies are vague
about their purpose and use
misleading tactics to secure
attendance.
Here are some recommendations
when looking for a job:
•
Be suspicious of any
employment service that promises
to get you a job.
• Don’t give out personal
information unless you are
familiar with the company.
• Never fax copies of your ID or
Social Security Number to
someone you’ve never met.
Provide these documents to your
employer once you are physically
at the job.
• Avoid responding to blind ads;
those that don’t identify
themselves.
Some red flags:
• Potential employers request your
bank account or social security
number.
• Request to scan the ID of the
jobseeker.
• Misspellings and grammatical
mistakes in the job ad.
• Request for a voided check.
Check out any potential
employers with the Better
Business Bureau of Southern
Colorado by calling 719-636-1155
or 866-206-1094 ext 118.

students,” said Jojola. “Mentoring
will be available to assist new
faculty which will benefit both, as
well. I feel that this is an important
piece of the collaboration efforts
which will benefit many within the
community.”
Beck brings a wealth of
experience to her position. “My
clinical experience includes
having worked as staff nurse,
supervisor, director of operating
and recovery rooms, and director
of nursing for a 100 bed hospital,”
said Beck. “I was responsible for
the establishment of the first
intensive care unit at that
community hospital. My career in
nursing education began in the
early days of associate degree
nursing programs when qualified
nurses to teach were scarce. I did
much of my own in-service
education as a director in the
hospital and found that I enjoyed
teaching. Therefore, I focused the
rest of my career in that direction.”
Beck received her baccalaureate
in nursing degree at Texas
Women’s University, which was a
counterpart of Texas A&M
University. Her master’s degree
is from Texas A&M and she did
post-graduate work at the
University of Texas at Arlington
and at Arizona State University.
Her interest in patient care also
led her to study thanatology, the
study that focuses on dying, death,
and grief. “Early in my career as
a director of nursing, a five-yearold patient was dying of leukemia.

“Las enfermedades del corazón
amenazan a todos. Si no cuidamos
nuestros corazones, nuestra
calidad de vida se ve deteriorada”,
dijo Alvaro Gomez, MD,
cardiólogo de Baptist Health South
Florida y voluntario de la
American Heart Association. “La
incidencia de ataques cerebrales
también es mayor en los hispanos
mayores de 18 años que en la
población general”, agregó Dr.
Gomez.
Este año, durante el Mes de la
Herencia Hispana, la American
Heart Association recomienda los
siguientes pasos para protegerse
contra las enfermedades
cardiovasculares:
• Conocer sus cifras. Hable con
su médico acerca de su presión
arterial, colesterol, glucosa en
sangre y peso corporal. Visite
americanheart.org para aprender
cómo mantener sus cifras en un
nivel saludable y para encontrar
información sobre programas que
le ayudarán, como “The
Cholesterol Low Down”.
• Aprender sobre su historial
médico familiar. Entérese de los
antecedentes de enfermedad
cardíaca y diabetes en su familia.
Tome las medidas necesarias para
prevenir o controlar sus factores de
riesgo. La American Heart
Association ofrece un programa,
The Heart of Diabetes, para
personas con diabetes tipo 2,
resistencia a la insulina, y otros
riesgos cardiovasculares. Y
nuestra herramienta en línea —
Heart Profilers — proporciona
información a pacientes con
enfermedad cardíaca sobre
opciones de tratamiento y sus
posibles efectos secundarios, y
más, para ayudarles a tomar
decisiones informadas.
• Llevar una dieta saludable.
Una dieta con alto contenido de
frutas, verduras, y granos
integrales, y baja en grasa
saturada, grasa trans y colesterol,
reduce sus probabilidades de
desarrollar enfermedad cardíaca.
• Mantenerse físicamente activo.
Baile, camine, nade, o haga
jogging. Cualquier tipo de
actividad física, realizada por 30
minutos en la mayoría de los días
de la semana, ofrece beneficios de
salud.
• Leer. Lea las historias
personales de hispanos que han
sobrevivido a enfermedades
cardiovasculares y ahora están
marcando una diferencia
importante en sus comunidades.
Visite americanheart.org
• Unirse a la lucha contra las
enfermedades del corazón.
Inscríbase en You’re the Cure, una

comprometidas a encontrar una
cura para enfermedades del

Cómo tomar sus medicinas en forma segura
Las personas de 65 años en
adelante toman más medicinas
recetadas y no recetadas que
cualquier otro grupo de personas.
Este mismo grupo también tiene
el mayor número de personas que
son víctimas de estafas
relacionadas con el cuidado de la
salud.
La razón para que se presenten
estas dos estadísticas es la misma.
Las personas de la tercera edad
tienden a tener más enfermedades
crónicas de largo plazo como
artritis, diabetes, presión arterial
alta y enfermedad cardíaca.
Debido al hecho de que vivir con
una enfermedad crónica puede ser
algo difícil, las personas de la
tercera edad pueden ser más
vulnerables a las soluciones
milagrosas que dicen tener
aquellas personas que venden
remedios sin base científica
comprobada.
Muchos estadounidenses de
edad avanzada le deben su salud,
en parte, a nuevas y mejores
medicinas, pero usar estas
medicinas puede ser riesgoso para
las personas de la tercera edad,
especialmente cuando toman
muchos medicamentos al mismo
tiempo.
El Instituto Nacional Sobre el
Envejecimiento (NIA, por sus
siglas en inglés) está ofreciendo
información útil en español sobre
las formas de tomar medicinas en
forma segura, cómo reconocer y
cómo protegerse contra las estafas
relacionadas con la salud. Estos
folletos informativos proporcionan
guías para evitar estos riesgos y
obtener los mejores resultados de
sus medicinas.
También le informan sobre cómo
darse cuenta de los engaños de
aquellas personas que venden
remedios que prometen una cura
rápida o sin dolor pero que no han
sido
comprobados
científicamente. La información
presentada en estos folletos
informativos tiene una base
científica y es útil para las personas
de la tercera edad y sus familiares.
Llame al 1-800-222-2225 para
solicitar copias gratuitas del folleto
Medicamentos Úselos con
Cuidado y Curanderos: Cómo
reconocer estafas en cuestiones de
salud. El Centro de Información
del NIA está abierto de lunes a
viernes entre las 8:30 am y las 5
pm, hora del este. Un especialista
en información estará disponible
para responder las llamadas en
español.
También puede solicitar éstas y
otras publicaciones en español
sobre el envejecimiento saludable
en la página de Internet del NIA:
www.niapublications.org
El NIA, uno de los Institutos
Nacionales de la Salud que forman
parte del Departamento de Salud
y Servicios Humanos de los
Estados Unidos, es el principal
promotor a nivel federal de las
investigaciones
sobre
el
envejecimiento y las necesidades
especiales de las personas de la
tercera edad.
El Instituto Nacional Sobre el

el

los Cardinals como parte del
primer programa de desarrollo de
escuadras de práctica internacional
de la NFL. El programa le dio a
cuatro jugadores que jugaron en la
NFL Europe League, la
oportunidad de desarrollarse
profesionalmente al dedicar una
temporada de la NFL como
miembro de una escuadra de
práctica de uno de sus equipos.
Los cuatro jugadores tenían una
restricción - no podían ser
activados durante la temporada.
Cantú pasó el año pasado con los
Cardinals en su escuadra de
práctica. Este año, acabaría en el
plantel o en su cuadro de práctica
por sus propios méritos. Después
que los Cardinals efectuaron el
último recorte en su plantel el
pasado sábado, escogieron sus
ocho reservas. Cantú se
enorgullece de ser parte de ese
grupo.

Equipos de NHMA se proponen reducir
la obesidad entre los Hispanos
La obesidad les está costado
caro a los tejanos y podría costarle
su
futuro
al
estado,
particularmente entre los hispanos
jóvenes, dice la National Hispanic
Medical Association (NHMA),
que está iniciando una campaña
nacional en Galveston para reducir
la obesidad entre los hispanos.
Para el 2040, Texas tendrá 14
millones de adultos obesos,
comparado con 4 millones
actualmente, lo doble de esta
cantidad de residentes con
sobrepeso y casi 3.5 millones de
personas con diabetes, comparado
con 1 millón. El costo de tratar la
obesidad se cuadruplicará, de
$10,500 millones actualmente a
40,000 millones para el 2040.
Además, la porción de Medicaid
aportada por el estado casi se
triplicará a $12,300 millones.
”Mientras más engorde la
población, mayores se volverán
los problemas y más costará
resolverlos”, dijo la doctora Elena
Ríos, presidenta de NHMA, una
organización sin fines de lucro que
representa a médicos hispanos
diplomados en los Estados Unidos.
Ríos será la oradora principal en
la novena Ceremonia Anual de
Premiación del Dr. Héctor P.
García. de 11:30 am a 1:30 pm el
15 de Septiembre en el Levin Hall
Dining Room en la University of
Texas Medical Branch en
Galveston. Hablará sobre la
importancia del liderazgo hispano
en la atención médica. Además,
Ríos mencionará las maneras en
que se está animando a los
miembros de NHMA a dar de su
tiempo para trabajar como
voluntarios con el Departamento
de Salud y Servicios Humanos de
los Estados Unidos y la Cruz Roja
de los Estados Unidos en las
actividades de socorro tras el
huracán Katrina.
Después del almuerzo, NHMA
anunciará su campaña para generar
conciencia sobre la obesidad en el
auditorio de Levin Hall. NHMA
tratará las maneras en que la
organización, los médicos
miembros y la Office of Minority
Health de HHS colaboran para
mejorar los programas para reducir
la obesidad entre los hispanos.
También se ha invitado a participar
como orador a un representante de
UTMB.
A partir del lanzamiento en
Galveston, NHMA y OMH
promoverán la campaña en otros
cuatro lugares: El Paso, Miami,
Nueva York y California. NHMA,
en colaboración con su Consejo de
Sociedades Médicas (Council of
Medical Societies), creará redes de
contactos,
intercambiará
información, informará al público
por medio de sus médicos y
trabajará con la prensa y el
gobierno como socios por el bien
de la salud.
”Texas y la nación no se pueden
dar el lujo de ignorar la crisis de la
obesidad y sus consecuencias,
particularmente entre los hispanos,
un grupo que crece rápidamente y
en el hay una prevalencia de
obesidad, la cual puede resultar en
enfermedades”, dijo Ríos.
”La obesidad es un factor de
riesgo de muchas enfermedades
que tienen un impacto
desproporcionado entre los grupos
minoritarios, entre ellas, las
enfermedades coronarias, algunos
cánceres, la diabetes y la
apoplejía”, dijo el doctor Garth
Graham, subsecretario adjunto de
HHS. “Para lidiar con esta
epidemia, necesitamos una
apreciación y participación
nacional”.
En Texas, 1 de cada 4 niños es
obeso, en comparación con 1 de
cada 10 niños no hispanos. Dos
de cada 3 adultos en Texas tienen
sobrepeso o son obesos, lo que
contribuye a que el estado esté
entre los que existe más gordura
en el país. Houston, San Antonio,
El Paso y Fort Worth están entre
las 15 ciudades con más gordura
del país.
Nacionalmente, unos 129.6
millones de estadounidenses o 64
por ciento tienen sobrepeso o son
obesos. Los estadounidenses que
nacen actualmente tienen una
probabilidad de 1 a 3 de que les dé
diabetes relacionada con la
obesidad. Entre los hispanos, el
riesgo aumenta a 1 de cada 2. El
impacto económico tan solo de la
diabetes en los Estados Unidos es
de aproximadamente $132,000
millones anualmente.
Ríos dijo que su enfoque incluye
desarrollar una red de médicos y
estudiantes de medicina que
trabajarán con NHMA y HHS para
implementar
prácticas
y
estrategias óptimas para disminuir
la tasa de obesidad en las
comunidades
hispanas,
comenzando con Galveston.
NHMA se está asociando con
HHS para informar a los pacientes
sobre la dieta, la nutrición y el
ejercicio. Entre los programas se
encuentran la prevención, la
educación, el aumento de los
conocimientos del público y la
extensión para propiciar un mejor
entendimiento del impacto de la
obesidad en otras enfermedades.
”Comenzaremos trabajando con
nuestros proveedores hispanos del
campo médico para que se
conviertan en propugnadores y
generen atención entre los
funcionarios electos para que
mejoren los programas escolares
y del gobierno, y así poder
disminuir las tasas peligrosas de
obesidad” dijo Ríos.
NHMA también procura obtener
la ayuda de los estudiantes
hispanos en la facultad de
medicina de UT Medical Branch
en Galveston, de donde se gradúan
más médicos hispanos que en
cualquier otra facultad de
medicina de los Estados Unidos.
La obesidad es un problema cada
vez peor. Según el estudio por

Hispanics gain 63,000 new jobs in August
by Andrea Lehman, HispanicBusiness.com
The unemployment rate for
Hispanics rose to 5.8% in August,
according to data released by the
US Department of Labor. The
unemployment rate among
Hispanics increased from 5.0
percent in July, further increasing
the gap with the overall US
unemployment rate of 4.9 percent,
which dropped from 5.0 percent in
July.
Hispanics gained 63,000 new
jobs in August, absorbing 120,000
Hispanics who joined the labor
force. These new workers came
from an increase in the US
Hispanic population of 96,000, as
well as 24,000 Hispanics that rejoined the labor force. On an
annual basis, employment of
Hispanics has increased by
633,000 jobs, bringing the
Hispanic unemployment rate
down from 6.9 percent in August
2004 to the current 5.8 percent.
The seasonally unadjusted
overall Hispanic unemployment
rate for August was slightly lower
at 5.7 percent, an increase from 5.5
percent in July. Hispanic men 20
years and over tend to have the
lowest unemployment rates
among the Hispanic population,
though their unemployment rate
also increased to 4.1 percent from
3.6 percent in July. This was
driven by an increase in the labor
force of 78,000 Hispanic men;
only 16,000 were able to find jobs,
adding 62,000 to the ranks of the
unemployed.
At 6.5 percent, the
unemployment rate in August for
Hispanic women 20 years and over
was higher than that of Hispanic
men, but actually decreased from
6.9 percent in July. In this case,
the change can be attributed to
29,000 new jobs as well as 3,000
Hispanic women leaving the labor
force, which decreased the
unemployed by 32,000 women.
Young Hispanics (16 to 19 years)
of both sexes typically have the
highest unemployment rate among
the Hispanic population. This is
true among all racial and ethnic
groups, as younger workers tend
to have less education and
experience, as well as being less
attached to the labor force due to
geographical relocations and
school enrollment.
The unemployment rate for
Hispanic youths rose to 17.2
percent in August, up from 16.0
percent in July. This resulted from
21,000 fewer jobs, with 9,000
youths exiting the labor force
(possibly to return to school in the
fall) and 12,000 being considered
unemployed.
Colorado Department of Revenue
will present relevant information
on a variety of topics.
Topics will include legislative
updates,
delinquency
management,
document
processing, and available
electronic services.

seminar with dates and locations

GM names a Latina Director of Minority
Dealer Development
GM recently announced
management changes in its
Minority Dealer Development
program.
Effective Sep 1, Alma Crossley
moved into the role of director of
Minority Dealer Development,
which works toward increasing the
number of minority-owned
dealerships.
GM was the first automaker to
create a formal minority dealer
program in 1972. A native of
Adrian, MI, Crossley has held
various positions in promotions,
marketing and advertising within
GM’s field operations and
headquarters.
Crossley, whose family is from
Mexico, earned an undergraduate
degree from General Motors
Engineering & Management
Institute (GMI) and an MBA from
the University of Phoenix.

Neither the doctor, nor her parents,
were able to be there when she
passed. I held the child as she
died,” said Beck. “It is an aspect
of health care we must all face.
I studied the work and writings
of Elizabeth Kubler Ross on
educating caregivers on the
provision of compassionate
bereavement to families affected
by death. Dr. Ross was the guru
of death and dying. I continue to
pass along her methodology to my
students.” Beck said she i
prepared for the new challeng
with Adams State College.
“I love academia. I truly
appreciate education. I believe it
is extremely important for nurses
to continue their education. It is
important to be well rounded in the
arts and science along with a
knowledge base of medicine and
nursing,” said Beck.
Crownover also brings a wealth
of nursing experience to Adams
State. She taught for three years
for TSJC. Prior to this she was the
Alamosa School District nurse.
Before moving to Alamosa, she
was faculty with the nursing
program at Northland Pioneeer
College in Show Low, Ariz. She
began teaching there when they
inititated their nursing program
and taught there for six years. “I
slipped into education when I was
the Education Director for the
hospital in Cortez. I found I loved
teaching,” said Crownover.
She received her BSN at Loretta
Heights College and MSN from
Northern Arizona University.
Crownover spent four years in the
Air Force as a nurse, and has
worked in many specialty areas,
including obstetrics, diabetes
education, and medical/ surgical
nursing. “I am very excited to be
a part of the ASC nursing
program,” said Crownover.
“There is a huge nursing shortage,
as well as, nursing faculty shortage
nationwide. It is hard for nurses
to pursue a master’s degree and
teach full time.” She said she
understands the difficulty of first
time professors.
“By teaching classes for TSJC
and mentoring their faculty, they
will have more time to pursue their
degree,” said Crownover. “I am
excited about being a mentor. It
isn’t easy to go from being a
bedside nurse to nursing
instructor.”
Beck agrees with Crownover.
“Any instructor will tell you the
first year is the hardest. If you
haven’t ever written a syllabus,
stood before a class, or faced the
challenge of teaching it can be
very daunting,” said Beck. “I’m
strongly committed to my new
position.” Both Beck and
Crownover are also looking
forward to the one-on-one with
students.

Los Cardinals Y 49ers – Escriben Un Capítulo Importante
De La Historia Internacional De La Nfl
Al tomar su próximo paso en su
historia, la NFL se apoya de dos
franquicias con proyección
internacional – los Arizona
Cardinals y San Francisco 49ers.
El dos de octubre, la NFL
escenificará el primer partido
de temporada regular fuera de
los Estados Unidos por
primera vez en sus 86 años de
historia. Los Cardinals y 49ers
se encaminan a enfrentarse en
Estadio Azteca en el Distrito
Federal mexicano.
Estos dos equipos han
contribuido importantemente
al crecimiento internacional de
la NFL.
Aunque la serie de American
Bowls de la NFL de partidos
internacionales comenzó en
1986 para satisfacer el interés
creciente en el futbol
americano alrededor del
mundo, la liga ha jugado en
ultramar antes de esa fecha.
Los Cardinals — los St. Louis
Cardinals en ese entonces –
participaron en uno de los hitos
internacionales de la NFL en 1976.
El 16 de agosto de ese año,
jugaron en el primer partido
celebrado fuera de Norte América
– un triunfo por marcador de 2010 ante los San Diego Chargers en
Tokio, Japón.

aficionados presenciaron el triunfo
de los Vikings por 26-10.
Estos partidos prepararon el
camino para la serie de American
Bowls. En 1985, los dueños de la
NFL aprobaron una resolución que
establecía una serie de partidos de
pretemporada en ultramar,
comenzando en 1986.
Un partido se celebraría en el
Reino Unido o en el continente
europeo y otro en Japón cada año.
El partido se convertiría en el

entusiasmado. Reconocemos que

San Francisco ha jugado la
segunda cantidad mayor de
partidos de pretemporada

los nueve encuentros en que ha
participado Dallas.

el dueño de los 49ers, John York.
“El que se nos conceda esta

La afición en México es
tremenda y nos anima pensar que

Family Tradition of Hispanic Art of Featured in Exhibition
A small New Mexican village
situated on a stretch of Highway
76 takes center stage as the
Museum of International Folk Art
presents Taking the High Road:
Art, Family and Legacy in
Córdova, New Mexico, an
exhibition celebrating
the artists and the
masterpieces of what is
known as the Cordovan
Tradition. An opening
reception will be held
on Sunday, September
18, 2005 from 2:00 4:00pm, featuring live
music from New
Mexico group Mucho
Corazón, and hosted by
the Women’s Board of
the Museum of New Mexico. The
exhibition runs through September
of 2006.
“It’s usually not even on the
map,” remarked co-curator and
award-winning Spanish Market
artist José Floyd Lucero, referring
to Córdova, the quiet town on the
High Road to Taos. Running east
from Española, the High Road
winds through Chimayo, Córdova,
Truchas, and Las Trampas before
reaching Taos. It is there in the
Sangre de Cristo Mountains where
generations of Lucero’s family
have lived and created their unique
art. Lucero, a woodcarver and
Santero (carver of saints), is the
great-grandson of José Dolores
López and the godson and great
nephew of George T. and
Silvianita López.
It is generally believed that José
Dolores
López,
known
affectionately by family members
and other artists as “Dolores”, was
the creator of the Córdova
style that features intricate
chip carving and delicate
design work on unpainted
wood. When he began his
artistic career in the late
nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, López
was known for his painted
screen doors, frames, nichos,
shelves, chairs, tables, and even
mailboxes. Over time he
developed the unpainted style,
which defines his legacy
today.
“Co-curating an exhibition with
an artist who has deep connections
to the highlighted works is a dream
come true,” says Tey Marianna
Nunn, Curator of Contemporary
Hispano and Latino collections.
“The relationship between artist,
curator, and community is
extremely rewarding and can only
serve to infuse any exhibition with
spirit and beauty.”
Common themes for the family
of artists include crucifixes, santos,
and various versions of “Our Lady
of Light.” One such masterpiece
made by López will be featured in
the exhibition. He made his
version of “Our Lady” for the
Public Works of Art Project
(PWAP) part of Franklin Delano
Roosevelt’s New Deal Programs.
On loan to MOIFA specifically for
the exhibit from the Taylor
Museum of the Colorado Springs
Fine Arts Center, the piece has not
been back to New
Mexico since the New
Deal.
Among the pieces
featured in Taking the
High Road are carved,
unpainted works made
from aspen and cedar.
Many of the Córdova
artists feel that revealing
details in natural wood is
more difficult to do
compared to other
traditional techniques such as
painted bultos in New Mexico. As
Gloria
López
Córdova,
granddaughter of José Dolores
López, states: “If I make a mistake
on a face I’m carving, it can’t be
covered up. I have to throw it
away and start over.”
Lucero gathered objects from
family members and private
collectors, while Nunn selected
works from the permanent
collections of the museum and
othe institutions. Together, they
compiled Taking the
High Road, giving
recognition to the
extraordinary family
of artists who have
through generations,
perpetuated, mastered
and innovated upon
the unique and
acclaimed New Mexican artistic
tradition. “In doing so, it is our
hope that we can put Córdova,
New Mexico, its artists and its
legacy, back on the map,” said
Nunn.
Other artists featured include:
George and Silvianita López,
Rafael López, Ricardo and Benita
López, Eurgencio and Orlinda
López, Gloria López Córdova,
Sabinita López Ortiz, Eluid
Martínez, José Floyd Lucero,
Larry López, Glen López, Rafael
López Ortiz, Adam López Ortiz,

Mitsubishi Motors North
America,
Inc.
(MMNA)
introduces a bold new face to the
mid-size truck market, with a
name to match.
The 2006 Mitsubishi Raider’s
styling underscores the truck’s
active,
muscular
appeal,
undeniable attitude and purposeful
stance. The design incorporates
signature cues from the Mitsubishi
family of vehicles – including the
Endeavor SUV and the all-new
Eclipse coupe.
But the Raider is much more
than just a pretty face. Powered
by a V-6 or optional V-8 engine,
the Raider is available in two
different cab configurations, as
well as unique interior and exterior
styling distinctive to Mitsubishi.
The Raider, based on the Dodge
Dakota mid-size truck, will be
built at DaimlerChrysler’s Warren
Truck Assembly Plant in Warren,
MI.
“Whether at work or play, our
target buyers are passionate about
what they do, and the Raider
captures this passion and sense of
purpose in the truck they drive,”
said Rich Gilligan, president and
CEO of Mitsubishi Motors North
America. “The Raider gets the job
done, in style.”
The Raider is yet another
example of Mitsubishi’s ability to
develop a distinctive product for a
unique consumer group. It is
designed for active truck buyers;
people who need the cargocarrying capacity of a truck, but
who do also want the aesthetic
appeal that has become
synonymous with Mitsubishi.
Many will view this truck as an
SUV alternative.
But despite its stylish look,
power and toughness have not
been compromised in Mitsubishi’s
mid-size truck. True to its
heritage, the Raider is the only
mid-size import nameplate pickup
truck to offer a 4.7-liter V-8
engine.
Available in a
combination of extended and
double cab body styles, two- and
four-wheel drive models and
potent V-6 and V-8 engine options,
the Raider offers a configuration
for nearly every conceivable need.
Mitsubishi’s re-entry into the
truck market rounds out its model
lineup that features world-class
sedans, SUVs and sporty cars,
including the Galant, all-new
Eclipse, Endeavor and Lancer
Evolution — each a standout in its
respective import segment.
Standout Exterior Design
Charged with establishing a new
benchmark in truck design,
designers at the Mitsubishi Motors
Design Center in Cypress, CA,
stepped outside the box in creating
the new Raider. Its dynamic look
with an urban edge is highlighted
by a sporty “one line” flush profile
and curved full surfaces
complemented by a distinctive
hood, flared wheel arches and
step-side style fenders that give the
Raider a toned, muscular
physique. A thin upper grille and
thick lower bumper provide the
Raider with an aggressive
demeanor reminiscent of other
Mitsubishi models. High-tech
Cont. on page 13

2006 Mitsubishi Raider Cont...
head lamps and tail lamps round
out the Raider’s standout design.
Power and Toughness
The Raider takes no prisoners in
terms of performance. The
Raider’s V-8 engine – the largest
among mid-size imports and in
fact the only import nameplate V8 in the mid-size import truck
category – produces 230
horsepower and class–leading 290
pound-feet of torque. The truck
bed features more than 40 cubic
feet of hauling capacity, ideal for
handling a variety of jobs and oddshaped cargo. Its fully boxed,
hydro-formed and roll-formed
steel frame creates an extremely
rigid body, and in combination
with the front independent
suspension, helps to create a
comfortable and capable ride and
handling package.
Unexpected Interior Amenities
The Raider is loaded with
interior amenities, distinguishing
it from other, more conventional
mid-size trucks. Premium options
tailored to the Raider’s target
buyer include leather seating
surfaces, SIRIUS Satellite Radio,
Bluetooth hands-free phone link
interface and high-output sound
system with 10-inch subwoofer,
six-disc CD changer and MP3
player – all sure to please even the
most discernable driver.

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage – Protect Your Heart
From literatura (literature) to
cocina (cuisine), some of the most
celebrated aspects of American
culture are rooted in Hispanic
tradition. Each year from Sep 15
- Oct 15, Hispanic Heritage Month
celebrates the cultural richness of
la vida y cultura hispana (Hispanic
life and culture). During this time
of celebration, the American Heart
Association encourages Latinos
and all Americans to protect their
heart.
Cardiovascular diseases are the
No. 1 cause of death among
Hispanics; they’re responsible for
30 percent of all deaths among
Latinos. Hispanics are twice as
likely to have diabetes as Anglo
Americans. “Heart disease is a
threat to everyone. If
we don’t take care of
our hearts, our
celebration of life will
be shortened,” said
Alvaro Gomez, MD,
a cardiologist with
Baptist Health South
Florida and an
American
Heart
Association
volunteer.
”The
incidence and risk
factors for stroke are
also higher for many
Hispanics than for
Anglos.
Physical inactivity is
twice as prevalent
among Hispanics

ages 18 and older as among the
general population,” added Dr.
Gomez.
This year during Hispanic
Heritage Month, the American
Heart Association encourages
everyone to focus on some simple
steps to protect themselves against
cardiovascular diseases:
• Know your numbers. Ask your
doctor about your blood pressure,
cholesterol blood sugar and target
weight. Visit americanheart.org
for more information about
managing your risk factors and
programs that can help, such as
The Cholesterol Low Down. Join
The Cholesterol Low Down and
receive free materials throughout
the year.
• Ask your family about their
health history. Learn if you may
be at a higher risk for diabetes and
heart disease. Celebrate your heart
by preventing or managing your
risk factors. The American Heart
Association offers The Heart of
Diabetes, a program for people
with type 2 diabetes, insulin
resistance
and
related
cardiovascular risks. And a free
online tool — Heart Profilers —
helps heart disease patients make
informed treatment decisions by
providing information on
treatment options, possible side
effects, success rates, and patientphysician discussion questions.
• Eat a healthy diet. A diet rich
in fruits, vegetables and whole
grains and that’s low in saturated
fat and cholesterol will lower your
chances of heart disease. If you’re
trying to lose weight, take the
“fad” out of your diet, and use the
American Heart Association’s NoFad Diet book.
• Be physically active. Get on
your feet and dance — or walk, jog
or swim. Any physical activity
you enjoy, done for 30 minutes
most days of the week, will benefit
your heart and make you más feliz
(happier)!
• Read. Learn about Hispanics
who have survived cardiovascular
disease and stroke and are making
a difference in their communities.
Go to americanheart.org to get
inspired.
• Fight heart disease.
Join You’re the Cure, a national
network of people dedicated to
finding a cure for heart disease and
stroke. By delivering lifesaving
messages to public officials, you
can help shape policies that
improve nutrition and physical
education in schools, and public
health programs. To learn more,
visit
americanheart.org/

This month, don’t just celebrate
Hispanic heritage — learn how to
live a stronger, longer life. To
access the programs and resources
listed and get more tips on how to

Quick Facts about Medicare’s new
coverage for prescription drugs
Starting January 1, 2006,
Medicare will offer prescription
drug, coverage for all people with
Medicare.
If you have Medicare and have
limited income and resources, you
may qualify for extra help paying
for prescription drugs.
If your annual income is below
$14,355 for a single person ( or
$19,245 if you are married and
living with your spouse), you may
qualify for extra help.
Slightly higher income levels
may apply if you provide 1/2
support to other family members
living with you, or if you work or
reside in Alaska and Hawaii.
And if your resources (including
your savings and stocks, but not
counting your home or car) are
under $11,500 (for a single person)
or under $23,000 (for a married
couple) you may qualify for extra
help paying for your Medicare
prescription drug costs.
You can apply for this extra help
through the Social Security
Administration or your State
Medical Assistance Office. Social
Security is mailing the application
for extra help to those who may
qualify. If you receive an
application, fill it out and return it
in the enclosed postage paid
envelope.
The amount of extra help you get
depends on your income and
resources. You still need to join a
Medicare prescription drug plan
for Medicare to pay for your drug
costs.
You can join a Medicare
prescription drug plan from
November 15, 2005 through May
15,2006. If you join after January
1, 2006, your coverage starts the
first day of the month after the
month you join.
If you qualify for extra help, you
will have continuous drug
coverage and will pay only a small
amount for your prescriptions.

can get extra help with prescription
drug costs and how to apply, call
the Social Security Administration
at 1-800-772-1213, or visit

Important event to be held for the benefit of the Centro de la Familia
2nd Style with Salsa Fashion Show
Friday, 23 September
On 17 November, 2004, Damas Latinas

The program will include dinner, raffles,
fashion parade, and dance. The ticket cost
is $ 50 per person or $ 450 per table.
In an interview with Martha S. Guerrero,
president of the Board of Directors, we will
learn more about Damas Latinas.
R.: How would you describe the
organization?
M.G.: It is a non-profit organization, formed
by Latin American women who speak
Spanish and live in Colorado. They share
social, cultural, and professional interests
with the purpose of promoting activities for
the benefit of the members and of the
community.
R.: Who can join Damas Latinas?
M.G.: Any women of Hispanic origin who
speak Spanish, whether they are housewives
or professionals. They simple need to fill

R.: What is the environment like when you
get together?
M.G.: It is a warm atmosphere and we feel
like we are at home. To be among women
who are dynamic, intelligent, creative,
generous, and funny promotes friendship,
emotional and spiritual growth.
R.: What kind of activities do you carry out?
M.G.: The organization gives its
members the opportunity to meet other
Hispanic women and also to share
social, cultural, professional, sporting,
and altruistic interests.
The meetings are made in groups
according to the different interests:
there is a Book Club, a Movie Club

humanitarian work they perform in order
to improve family life quality by preventing
child abuse and domestic violence in our
community, especially in Hispanic and

”Las minorías étnicas, particularmente
los hispanos, son desproporcionadamente
pobres y faltos de educación, y por lo tanto
padecen de más problemas de salud y
mueren más jóvenes que cualquier otro
estadounidense”, dijo Ríos. “Una
prevalencia de comida rápida barata, una
carencia de zonas seguras para hacer
ejercicio en sus vecindarios y dietas con un
alto contenido de grasa contribuyen a que
los hispanos aumenten de peso”.
Tendencias culturales como los
videojuegos, la televisión y la comida
chatarra, entre otros, también contribuyen
al problema.
”Los médicos deben ser propugnadores
acérrimos de la mejor nutrición y la

actividad física.
Pueden ayudar a identificar a los niños
en peligro y con sobrepeso, educar a las
familias sobre las consecuencias médicas
de tener sobrepeso y ayudarlas a desarrollar
las herramientas que necesitan para una
vida más saludable y larga”, dijo Ríos.
“Este es un problema que debe incluir a
la comunidad y a toda la familia”.
La NHMA, fundada en 1994 en
Washington, DC, es una organización sin
fines de lucro que representa a médicos
hispanos diplomados en los Estados Unidos
y su misión es mejorar la atención de la
salud a los hispanos y las personas
subatendidas. Para mayor información,

Cardinals Y Niners El 2 De Octubre

“El domingo me reuní con el entrenador en jefe Dennis Green, quien me dijo que tenía
la libertad de buscar un puesto con otro equipo, pero la verdad es que he trabajado muy
duro aquí y creo que puedo jugar en Arizona, aún si ahora me encuentro en la escuadra
de práctica”, dice Cantú. “Conozco bien el estilo de juego de Arizona. Estaré listo cuando
me necesiten. Ser parte de la escuadra de práctica, si alguien se lesiona, me pueden
activar”.
Cantú nació en Monterrey,
México, donde dados los
límites competitivos de peso
(era mucho más pesado para
su edad) no pudo jugar
futbol americano hasta la
escuela intermedia.
Estudió en el Monterrey
Tech en México, donde
titularizó por cuatro años y
guió a la universidad a tres campeonatos nacionales.
En el 2004, jugó como tackle ofensivo con el Berlin Thunder de la NFL Europe,
equipo que ganó el World Bowl.
A los 15 años de edad, Cantú asistió al American Bowl de la NFL en su ciudad natal de
Monterrey en 1996 cuando los Kansas City Chiefs vencieron a los Dallas Cowboys 326.
Cantú anticipa que más de 100,000 aficionados asistan al Estadio Azteca el 2 de octubre
cuando los Cardinals se enfrenten a los San Francisco 49ers en el primer partido de
temporada regular de la NFL celebrado fuera de los Estados Unidos.
