Hispania News SOUTHERN COLORADO'S BILINGUAL NEWSPAPER SINCE 1987 VOL. 18. NO. 28 www.hispanianews.com Colorado lanza su campaña de vacunación en todo el estado El jueves 7 de julio, a la 1 pm, en una conferencia de prensa efectuada en la escalinata oeste del Capitolio del Estado, el Departamento de Salud Pública y Medio Ambiente de Colorado lanzó una colorida campaña de vacunación diseñada para asegurar que todos los niños del Estado que sea posible estén totalmente vacunados cuando cumplan la edad requerida. El tema de la campaña, que destaca dibujos hechos por niños de Colorado, es “Vacune a los ñiños de Colorado: Proteja a sus Seres Queridos”. Los materiales que exhiben el nuevo logotipo, los dibujos y el programa de vacunaciones, incluyen carteles y tarjetas para llevarse en la cartera, tanto en inglés como en español. El logotipo se exhibe también en un nuevo portal de Web, fácil de usar, diseñado para que sea fácil para los padres de Colorado encontrar la información que necesiten acerca de las vacunas que se requieren y dónde pueden obtenerlas. La dirección del portal en la Web, que tiene secciones en inglés y en español, es www.immunizecoloradoskids.org Los materiales impresos se distribuirán a partir de la semana del 11 de julio a los médicos, clínicas, departamentos locales de salud, servicios públicos de atención a la salud en los condados, clínicas de WIC (para mujeres, infantes y niños), y en otros lugares en todo el Estado. Los materiales están diseñados para exhibición y distribución, para recordarles a los padres la importancia de asegurarse que sus hijos tengan tolas vacunas que se requieren, a la edad apropiada. La Vice-gobernadora del Estado, Jane Norton, que fue la oradora estelar de la conferencia de prensa que dio comienzo a la campaña, dijo: “La protección de la salud de los niños de Colorado es una de las cosas más importantes que hacemos.

The theme of the campaign, which features drawings by Colorado children, is “Immunize Colorado’s kids: protect the ones you love.” Materials featuring the new logo, the drawings, and the immunization schedule for Colorado include posters and wallet cards in both English and Spanish. The logo also is featured on a new, user-friendly Web site designed to make it easier for Colorado parents to find needed information about required immunizations and where they can be obtained. The address for the Web site, which has sections in both English and Spanish, is www.immunizecoloradoskids.org The printed materials will be distributed to physicians, clinics, local health departments, county public health nursing services, WIC (Women Infants and Children) clinics, and other locations throughout the state. The materials are designed for Cont. on page 14 Testimonio de Latinos en el bombazo de Londres ¿Cómo vieron los latinos de Londres el macro-atentado? Good Day for flying at the old City airport. por Isaac Bigio Según cifras oficiales de hace un lustro en Reino Unido hay 200,000 residentes latinos (la mitad de ellos con pasaporte español o portugués). Sin embargo, esa cifra es varias veces mayor si se toma en cuenta a los que estudian, están ‘temporalmente’ o son irregulares. En Londres se calcula que por lo menos hay un cuarto de millón de latinos. Según la policía inglesa hay más de 700 heridos en el 7-7. Los muertos podrían estar entre los 70 y 100. Dentro de las víctimas se ve mucho inmigrante. Aunque parezca contradictorio, la minoría étnica que más muertos y desaparecidos tiene en proporción a su población, bien podría ser la islámica. Dos de las tres zonas afectadas eran reductos musulmanes. Por Aldgate East está el barrio bangladeshi y Edware es la avenida de los negocios árabes.

Dr. Nevin-Woods, Director and Health Officer of the Pueblo City-County Health Department, suggests the following general recommendations for Pueblo County residents: • People living in close proximity to the fire-stricken areas should remain indoors and avoid inhalation of smoke, ashes, and particulate matter in the area. • If you live close to or in the surrounding area, it is recommended that you refrain from exercising outdoors, especially if you smell smoke or notice eye or throat irritation. • Extra precaution should be taken for children, who are more susceptible to smoke because their respiratory systems are still developing and they breathe in more air (and consequently more pollution) per pound of body mass than adults. • Use swamp coolers sparingly. Filter pads can get clogged with heavy debris in the air. • When driving your car in smoky areas, keep your wind selling your items is $15. Call available.

To ensure student success, PCC now requires that new students intending to take more than six credit hours must meet with an advisor and attend an orientation session. The process also applies to readmitted students who haven’t attended PCC for at least one year. To reduce the crunch anticipated prior to the start of fall classes on Aug. 22, PCC has streamlined registration procedures. Under the “one-stop” method, students can apply to the college, take their assessments, complete financial aid forms, attend an orientation, meet with an advisor and register for classes in one visit to campus. Students can start the registration process at the Admissions office in Room 224 of the College Center, located at the corner of Orman Ave. and Harrison St. just one block off Lincoln. As incentives, early registrants’ names are being drawn for scholarships and PCC bookstore coupons. The fall semester includes a full term that will begin Aug. 22 and half-terms that will begin Aug. 22 and Oct. 17. For information call 549-3200.

Serving times: Care & Share Food Bank receives USDA funds for summer feeding program Care & Share Food Bank is pleased to announce that it has received funding through USDA’s Summer Food Service Program which will allow Care & Share to maintain the five summer feeding sites currently serving southern Colorado as well as expand services in the future. 13 million American children live in households where a meal everyday is not a sure thing. Nationally, for every 100 children who receive a free or reduced price meal during the school year, only 20 children are receiving meals during the summer. El Paso County had just over 99,000 children signed up for free or reduced price school lunch. Only 9 for every 100 of these kids will participate in a summer feeding program (#42 in America). Care & Share plays a crucial role in improving that ratio. By connecting local organizations such as YMCAs, Boys and Girls Clubs and summer school programs to food available through the USDA Summer Food Service Program, more children from low-income neighborhoods EDUCATION ISSUE Eighth class of Hispanicserving Institutions Fellows The 21 fellows are highly accomplished faculty members at Hispanic-Serving Institutions in California, Colorado, Florida, New Mexico, Texas and Puerto Rico. Seventeen fellows will work at USDA in Washington, DC and four fellows will work at agricultural research centers for two-to-six weeks this summer. Fellows were selected based on the compatibility of their research interests with USDA mission areas and the value their experience would add to their institution’s curriculum offerings to Hispanic students. Among the topics that will be researched are food security, food nutritional patterns and the needs of the Hispanic population, landscape horticulture, exercise and nutrition to combat obesity, biotechnology, rural development, land management, urban ecology, agricultural science and marketing, and international trade and economics. Through the partnership fostered by the fellows program, USDA and HSIs are better prepared to address the educational challenges faced by Hispanics. Hispanic-Serving Institutions are accredited and degree-granting institutions of higher education with a full-time Hispanic student enrollment of 25 percent or more. The fellowship program serves to advance USDA’s collaboration THE LIFE SKILLS CENTER OF COLORADO SPRINGS is now enrolling! Get your High School Diploma in just four hours a day* - tuition free!

Los expertos están de acuerdo que el adoptar un estilo de vida más saludable le ayudará no sólo a sentirse bien sino también a lucir fabulosa en estos días calurosos de verano. Para inspirar a las mujeres hispanas a que adopten un estilo de vida saludable, la presentadora de televisión Cristina Saralegui y la Dra. Maritza Fuentes se han unido para crear conciencia acerca de temas de salud y bienestar físico que raramente se discuten. Juntas están promoviendo La Guía Para el Bienestar Dulcolax (Dulcolax Guide to Healthy Living), disponible a través de http:// www.dulcolax.com. La página de Internet ofrece información y consejos para tener una alimentación saludable y vivir mejor. Según la Dra. Fuentes, los hispanos en los Estados Unidos enfrentan muchos de los mismos problemas de salud y bienestar que otros grupos étnicos, pero a menudo estos problemas son más difíciles para los hispanos debido a su cultura y diferente estilo de vida. La falta de ejercicio puede causar obesidad y diabetes entre los hispanos, así mismo sus diferentes hábitos alimenticios ayudan a explicar porqué los hispanos padecen más de estreñimiento que los demás grupos étnicos. “La gran mayoría de las personas que sufren de estreñimiento son mujeres”, dice la Dr. Fuentes. “Además, casi un tercio de los hispanos que sufren de estreñimiento describen su condición como severa”. “El propósito de la campaña es educar acerca de uno de los problemas de salud más comunes entre las mujeres - el estreñimiento”, dice Cristina. “Las mujeres necesitan saber acerca de la cantidad de agua que deben beber cada día para estar saludables, acerca de los beneficios de hacer ejercicio, que comiendo más fibra puede no ser suficiente para curar el estreñimiento, y que las vitaminas o medicinas que toman pueden ser la causa de su estreñimiento”. Las dos ofrecen los siguientes consejos para ayudar a las mujeres a aliviarse del estreñimiento y sentirse bien: Apúntelo. Lleve un diario con todos los mensajes que su cuerpo está intentando comunicarle, tales como las comidas que le causan hinchazón abdominal y la hacen sentir llena, o la frecuencia de su evacuación intestinal. Apuntando como usted se siente y las comidas que le afectan diariamente, usted reconocerá lo que puede estar causándole estreñimiento y controlarlo. Planee comidas saludables. Esto puede aliviar algunos problemas de estreñimiento. Evite comer rápidamente o dejar de comer durante el día, y también mantenga bocados saludables a mano para los días ocupados. Asegúrese de incluir frutas y verduras en su dieta diaria y cómalos de manera creativa, por ejemplo con queso ‘cottage’ bajo en grasa, o con salsas. Hable con su doctor o farmaceuta sobre las medicinas y vitaminas que está tomando. Algunas de estas pueden estar causándole estreñimiento sin que usted lo sepa. Por eso es que los laxantes son por lo regular recetados a personas que toman suplementos de hierro, analgésicos, y medicamentos para el colesterol y las enfermedades del corazón. Controle la tensión. Ya que puede empeorar el estreñimiento más de lo que usted piensa. Tómese por lo menos quince minutos al día para relajarse con una taza de té de hierbas o para caminar. ¡También, haga lo que tiene que hacer sin apresurarse! ¡Haga ejercicio! Durante los días que usted no puede hacer 30 minutos de actividad física, trate de subir escalones, caminar en vez de manejar, y de jugar con sus niños o sus mascotas. No sienta vergüenza por tener una evacuación intestinal cuando esta en el trabajo o en otro lugar que no sea su casa. ¡Es un acto natural que todos hacemos entonces no se sienta avergonzada cuando usted lo haga! Usted puede llevar cubredores de asiento desechables y toallas húmedas en su cartera por si necesita usar un baño público. Escuche a su cuerpo. Viajes o cambios inesperados en su rutina pueden causar estreñimiento. Usted puede usar un laxante suave para tratar sus síntomas de estreñimiento hasta que pueda reanudar su rutina diaria. No se obsesione. No se preocupe si usted no tuvo una evacuación del intestino hoy. Está bien si usted se siente bien. Tome un minuto para escuchar a su cuerpo y asegurarse que usted está sintiéndose bien. Adopte un buen hábito. Intente ir al baño a la misma hora todos los días. Muchas personas se acostumbran a ir al baño cuando se despiertan o después de comer. Tenga disponible un laxante. Está bien tomar un laxante como Dulcolax para aliviar el estreñimiento temporal, aunque los que sufren de estreñimiento deben consultar a su doctor si los síntomas persisten por más de una semana.

The easy-to-remember threedigit number, which serves residents of El Paso, Teller, Chaffee, Park, Lincoln, and Cheyenne counties, makes it possible for people in need to navigate the complex and evergrowing maze of health and human services providers in their community. At present, three trained information specialists – one bilingual – staff the hotline from 8 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday utilizing a comprehensive database of resources including federal, state, and local Dejar a las criaturitas y a los niños pequeños en vehículos calientes puede ser fatal El lunes, expertos en la prevención de las lesiones, del Departamento de Salud Pública y Medio Ambiente de Colorado, advirtieron a los padres y a quienes den atención a los niños que nunca deben dejar solo a ningún niño en un vehículo caliente, ni siquiera si es sólo por unos cuantos minutos, ni aunque las ventanillas estén abiertas. “A pesar de que pudiera parecerle a usted que afuera no hace mucho calor, los niños que se les deja solos en un auto estacionado en un día caluroso, pueden llegar a morir rápidamente. Durante los meses del verano, la temperatura interior de un auto estacionado puede alcanzar más de 120 grados en tan sólo 10 minutos”, advirtió Barbara Bailey, especialista en la prevención de lesiones de la Coalición SAFE KIDS de Colorado, que tiene su base en el Departamento de Salud Pública y Medio Ambiente. Bailey explicó: “Cuando el niño está en un auto caliente, pierde los fluidos y las sales del cuerpo al transpirar, causándose un agotamiento por el calentamiento. Si no se le da tratamiento de inmediato, el agotamiento por calentamiento puede llevar a una embolia, que impide que el cuerpo Continua en página 6 government agencies, private nonprofits, as well as faith and community-based organizations. In addition to providing resource information, 2-11 also serves the community by helping to ease the burden placed on emergency resources by non-emergency callers. In partnership with local police departments and 91-1 emergency dispatch systems, 2-1-1 accepts transferred non-emergency calls, allowing emergency dispatchers to be available for life-threatening, crisis situations. 2-1-1 also provides a central system to collect and analyze data regarding community needs. This data is used by funding organizations, service providers as utility assistance consistently well as city and county officials topping the list of needs among and planners to better assess the those who call. There has also been a significant increase in calls for food assistance as many wait for approval or reapproval for food stamps. According to the annual report, 76% of all 2-1-1 callers are female. 66.5% have children. 68% are unemployed with the overall average income of those seeking assistance slated at $8,140 per year.

The San Luis Valley (southwest region) call center will be launching this summer, and the Pueblo (southeast) center has received funding and is presently in the planning phase. The goal of the Colorado Collaborative is to have 100% coverage for the state by October 2007. At present, 2-1-1 hotlines are available nationally in 32 states plus Washington DC and Puerto Rico.

El tiene COMPRE SU CASA una pierna rota y una lata incrustada en el talón. El ha dicho que tuvo suerte de no perecer ya que la mayoría de los otros pasajeros del vagón donde estaba fallecieron. Juan Pablo Riaño, quien vive en Londres hace 8 años, estuvo en uno de los vagones detonados. El sufrió contusiones pero sobrevivió. Se escapó por un agujero en el tren y tuvo fuerzas para socorrer a otros pasajeros, incluyendo otra mujer que tenía los brazos destrozados y regados. Gloria Quintanilla se salvó del bombazo. Ella debía haber estado haciendo su rutina diaria en el metro que recorrió Edware Rd., donde fue uno de los atentados, pero en la víspera la ‘salvó’ una inesperada neumonía. Ella prefirió haber llegado al hospital por ello que por el bombazo. La zona más afectada fueron las pocas cuadras que están entre King Cross, la biblioteca británica, Euston y las plazas Tavistock y Russell. En el subsuelo se produjo la peor carnicería y en la superficie detonó un bus. Un brasilero estuvo dentro de los pasajeros de dicho ómnibus pero se salvó. Roberto, quien estudia en la University College of London (cerca de donde fue un atentado), nos mandó un e-mail diciéndonos: “Yo estuve cerca del bombazo ya que vivo en Euston Street, pero gracias a Dios nada me paso a mi o a mis hijos’. Héctor Fernández nos conversaba que en su edificio viven o han vivido bolivianos, peruanos, chilenos y ecuatorianos. Sin embargo, ninguno fue afectado pese a que su predio queda contiguo a la estación de King Cross, casi encima de uno de los rieles donde se produjo la peor explosión y muy cerca de la plaza Tavistock. Nos cuenta que no se puede pasar a ver esos lugares, pues están cerrados al público. Carlos Burgos, quien vivió cerca de Tavistock Square, nos contaba como presenció en los ochentas un incendio en el metro de King Cross, que tal vez fue peor que el atentado. Nos relató el caso de dos vecinas del lugar, quienes, como muchas personas de origen andino se dedican a trabajar en limpieza, se libraron por un pelo de morir. Ellas, como todos los días, debían salir de sus empleos caminando hacia Edware Road o Paddington. Por una extraña casualidad del destino, ellas prefirieron tomar el bus. Al obviar la ruta subterránea (más veloz) sin quererlo se salvaron de ir en el tren de la muerte que explotó mientras ellas estaban en la superficie. David Mortara, co-editor del diario andino Minka de Londres y especialista británico en criollismo Chivas USA con esposa e hija peruanas, debía dar el 7 de julio una presentación del primer CD de música peruana hecho por la biblioteca británica (la mayor del mundo). Su conferencia tuvo que ser postergada por el atentado, pero si los bombazos se hubieran dado más tarde pudieron haber afectado a varios de los esperados asistentes. María, quien trabaja en un negocio árabe por la zona afectada de Edgare, habla árabe y observa ritos del Islam, se siente preocupada por que pudieran haber represalias contra la población musulmana y ello afectase también a los latinos y otros inmigrantes. Las actividades de las comunidades latinas se mantienen en pie. El sábado 8, dos días tras el bombazo, la colectividad ecuatoriana festejó a lo grande el día de Santo Domingo en una fiesta organizada por Luis Naranjo. Este fin de semana la comunidad peruana realiza el primer festival afro-peruano. John Loayza, chófer de buses, sabe que debe seguir conduciendo ominbuses incluso por zonas afectadas pero él se prepara para hacer que el próximo día 7 (el de agosto) Londres celebre el primer mes del atentado viendo pasar el II Paseo del Inca, junto con otras comparsas que irán al carnaval latino del Burgess Park.

The new logo features a stylized “E” surrounded by a solid red circle. The full-service credit union has had the same look and feel since its inception in 1957, but research conducted last year indicated a change was necessary. Surveys revealed perceived barriers for members and non-members to consider Ent as their financial partner. “As a community chartered credit union, any person that lives, works, worships or goes to school in Teller, Pueblo, El Paso and parts of Denver counties is eligible to be an Ent member,” said Charles Emmer, CEO and president of Ent. “However, our brand wasn’t conveying that message to members or prospective members. It also did not clearly communicate the breadth of products and services we offer.” In addition to a new logo, Ent has adopted a new creative look and feel for all of its collateral and advertising, which better reflects the credit union’s competitive products and quality member service. The organization’s legal name Demand for SBA-Backed Loans continues at record pace Small businesses continued turning to the US Small Business Administration for commercial credit in record numbers through the first three quarters of FY 2005, reflecting their confidence in the US economy and the stability of the SBA loan program that backs their loans. Small businesses secured SBA backing under the agency’s flagship 7(a) program for 71,131 loans through the first nine months of the fiscal year, a 21 percent increase over the same period a year ago and a 49 percent increase over the same period two years ago. In Colorado, the SBA has approved 1,464 7(a) guaranteed loans worth $285.3 million - a 29.3 percent increase over the same period last year. The loans made so far this year amount to $11.1 billion, 19.5 percent more than in the same period last year, and on a clear pace for a record-setting year for the program. “We had a record year for this loan program a year ago, and we’re going to set another record in 2005,” said SBA Administrator Hector V. Barreto. “It tells us that the critics are wrong, that small businesses are confident enough to invest in the future of the American economy, and that this program is here to help them do it. It also demonstrates the effectiveness of the self-funded footing on which the President has placed the loan program, and the confidence that lenders have in its stability. I am very pleased with this performance so far this year.” The gains are also reflected in the SBA’s Certified Development Company, or 504, loan program. Through the first nine months of the fiscal year, the 504 program had issued 6,434 loans worth $3.44 billion, more than 6 percent ahead of the same period a year ago, when the program had produced 6,058 loans for $2.88 billion. During the same period, 231 504 loans were made in Colorado worth $99 million - a 9.8 percent increase over last year. The budget for the current year makes more than $21 billion available to small businesses through the two loan programs, including $16 billion in small business lending under the 7(a) program and $5 billion under the 504 program.

But that’s the case with the 2005 Dodge SRT-10. It starts life as a Dodge Ram pickup, with a base price of $22,425. Not bad. But the options that create the mighty SRT-10 tack on another $22,575, for a grand total of $45,795. For that, you get what is currently the fastest truck on the planet. Prices: US $22,425 base; as tested, $45,795. Warranty: 3 years/36,000 miles total vehicle and powertrain. Heritage Some of us have been down this road before. We remember Detroit’s horsepower races of the mid- and late-Sixties, a mine-isfaster-than-yours competition that came to a screeching halt in 1972 when gasoline supplies dried up, insurance companies collectively said enough is enough, and federal emission standards reared their ugly head. That era was followed by more than a decade of tip-toeing offering ever-quicker chariots. around horsepower. But that’s Among trucks and truck-based not the American way, and soon sport utilities, the second round manufacturers were again of competition culminated in 1991 and 1992 when General Motors put a 280-hp engine in a truck and sport utility, calling them the Syclone and Typhoon. They scooted zero to 60 in a truck apart and Dodge travelled that route with an extreme front end, an in-your-face straight-upand-down brick wall of a grille. But for the 2005 Dodge SRT-10, it went even further. Just look at the 20-inch wheels on this truck. There’s even a 20inch spare. The air dam looks like it belongs on a NASCAR race truck; there’s a wing in the back and a fully functional hood scoop. The seats are high-quality leather and there is no back seat area. Fold up a console storage compartment large enough to contain a laptop computer and you can sit three across. Every conceivable convenience item comes with the $22,575 option package. There’s a sliding rear window, climate control, cruise control (you’ll need it!), an awesome 505-watt stereo system, remote keyless entry, Coachwork adjustable pedals.. you name it. It’s difficult for a truck to stand Best of all, it looks as good as it out from the competition these performs. days. And, frankly, they’re all pretty good. Not a loser out there.

Word is that Ford and General Motors are not far behind with 500 or 500-plus horsepower models. Fun? You bet. Gas guzzlers? Don’t ask. Enjoy them while you can. 14 de julio 2005 - 21 de julio 2005 Page 13 AUTOMUNDO Dodge Ram SRT-10 Cont. from page 12 No one, in a car or truck, bothered me. Men in top BMWs stopped me to ask about it. Kids gathered everywhere I took a lunch break. Those in the know really know what the 2005 Dodge SRT-10 is. This is King Kong. This is the Top Truck. The hood would be popped, greeting bystanders with that massive engine with VIPER on the red covers. The gathered would count spark plug wires .. 1,2,3,4 .. 5 .. on each side! And I’d crank it up and it would emit a snarl that stood hairs on end, caused small dogs and children to flee, got furrowed brows from the elderly. How many other trucks can do that? Zero. This is The Truck. This has, at least temporarily, dethroned the Ford SVT Lightning. I like them both, but this one is really, really special. Dodge can be proud of giving us a reasonably comfortable, great handling, top-notch performance truck. Like the Viper, however, it will sell in extremely limited numbers (2,500 a year). The announced price usually dispersed gathered crowds in a hurry. Tips To Avoid Making Your Car A Virtual Oven (NAPSA)-When the temperature rises outside, the combination of extreme heat, direct sunlight and closed windows can turn a parked car into a virtual oven with dashboard temperatures reaching up to about 192° F. Recent tests, conducted for Auto Expressions(tm), found that on an 89° F day, air trapped inside your vehicle can heat up within minutes. In a parked car without a sunshade, the dashboard heats up to 192° F, high enough to cook a chicken and the steering wheel tops out at 191° F, high enough to grill a hamburger. In the same extreme conditions, a car using an accordion-style sunshade in the windshield was able to keep the cars interior an average of 43° F cooler. Sunshades reflect sunrays by blocking the sunlight coming through the windshield, helping to reduce the heat and block 99 percent of damaging UV rays. Additionally, the use of a sunshade helps protect a car’s interior, preventing possible fading, cracking or discoloration. “Using a sunshade and other sun-protection products in your vehicle are simple and effective ways to help keep you and your car cooler,” said Laurie Stevens, director of marketing for Auto Expressions(tm) accessories. “It’s vital that drivers take extra precautionary steps to help protect themselves, their passengers and their vehicle from the sun’s damaging rays.” Tips to Help Beat the Summer Heat: • Park in the shade whenever possible. • Use a sunshade to help reduce the heat buildup. • Use a fabric-based steering wheel cover to help protect your hands. • Open doors and let the air circulate in the car for a few minutes before getting into the car. • Set your air conditioner to “regular or fresh air” before switching to “maximum.” How to Reduce Car Damage • Use a sunshade to help reduce heat and sun-damage in your vehicle. • Protect steering wheels, dashboard and seats with covers. • Wash your vehicle regularly and use a wax with a UV absorber. • Maintain vinyl and leather interiors with a UV absorbent cleaner/protectant. • Have your cabin air filter and airconditioning systems serviced annually.

Colorado’s Lieutenant Governor Jane Norton, the featured speaker at the kickoff news conference, said, “Protecting the health of Colorado’s children is one of the most important things that we do.

This new campaign makes it easy to obtain that information.” Douglas H. Benevento, the Department of Public Health and Environment’s executive director, said, “The Governor’s Office and the Department of Public Health and Environment have been working hard to increase the number of Colorado children who are fully immunized and we are making important progress. This immunization marketing campaign is just another step in that direction. “Colorado’s rate for fully immunizing its 2-year-olds stood at 51.4 percent in 1995. In 2004, 70.9 percent of Colorado’s 2-yearolds were fully immunized. That is an important step forward and we are continuing to work to make certain that every Colorado parent who wants his or her children to be immunized has the information and opportunity necessary to do so.” Dr. Jim Shira, a Children’s Hospital pediatrician and an executive board member for the Colorado Children’s Immunization Coalition, said, “Every Colorado child deserves to be protected against the 13 diseases that are prevented by our state’s immunization program.” The state health director said the campaign includes three different versions of the posters and wallet cards. One features the drawing of a flower with the tag line, “Immunizations help kids grow up healthy.” A second features a car and the caption, “Immunizations help get kids moving in the right direction.” And, the third spotlights a sun and the wording, “Immunizations help make futures bright.” And, in the center of the flower and the sun and as hubcaps for the car, there is something that is easily recognizable — a replica of the Band-Aids that so often cover the spot where the immunization is given. Benevento said all three contain the schedule of immunizations required for Colorado children up to the time they enter elementary school; other information about immunizations and the involved vaccines; the address of the new Web site; and the telephone numbers for the department’s Family Healthline and Immunization Program where parents can call to obtain information about immunizations and where they can be obtained. The number for the Family Healthline is (303) 692-2229 or 1-800-688-7777 and the number for the Immunization Program is (303) 692-2650. Colorado children are required to have immunizations to protect them from 13 childhood diseases by the time they reach the age of two. These include vaccinations for diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis or whoopping cough (DTaP); haemophilus influenzae type b; hepatitis A; hepatitis B; influenza; measles, mumps; Cont. on page 19 Campaña De Vacunación Continua de página 1 Las inmunizaciones no solamente no ofrecen peligro, sino que también evitan que los residentes más jóvenes del Estado se enfermen con las enfermedades de la infancia que pueden llegar a ser graves. “Como madre y como educadora de la salud, les recomiendo urgentemente a todos los padres de familia que se informen bien acerca de las inmunizaciones que se les requieren y que se aseguren de que sus niños estén suficientemente vacunados. Esta nueva campaña facilita las cosas para obtener esa información”. Douglas H. Benevento, Director Ejecutivo del el Departamento de Salud Pública y Medio Ambiente, dijo: “La Oficina del Gobernador y el Departamento de Salud Pública y Medio Ambiente han estado trabajando arduamente para incrementar el número de niños de Colorado que estén suficientemente vacunados y estamos haciendo un progreso importante en ese sentido. Esta campaña publicitaria de inmunización es solamente otro paso en esa dirección”. “En 1995, el índice de niños de 2 años de edad suficientemente vacunados, estuvo en un 51.4 por ciento. En 2004, al 70.9 por ciento de los niños de 2 años de edad se les aplicaron todas las vacunas apropiadas. Esto es un paso importante hacia delante y continuamos trabajando para asegurarnos que cada uno de los padres y madres de Colorado que quiera que sus hijos sean vacunados, tenga la información y la oportunidad necesaria para hacerlo”. El Dr. Jim Shira, pediatra del Hospital Infantil y miembro ejecutivo de la directiva de la Coalición para la Inmunización de Los Niños de Colorado, dijo: “Cada uno de los niños de Colorado merece que se le proteja contra las 13 enfermedades que evita nuestro programa estatal de inmunizaciones.” El director estatal dijo que la campaña incluye tres diferentes versiones de los carteles y tarjetas que pueden ponerse en la cartera. Una presenta el dibujo de una flor con la inscripción “Las vacunas les ayudan a que los niños crezcan saludables”. La segunda presenta un auto y la leyenda “Las vacunas ayudan a que los niños vayan por el camino correcto”. Y la tercera destaca un sol y las palabras “Las vacunas ayudan a que el futuro sea brillante”. Y en el centro de la flor y del sol, y como tapones de las ruedas del auto, hay algo que es fácilmente reconocible – una réplica del curita que con mucha frecuencia cubre el lugar donde se pone la vacuna. Benevento dijo que las tres versiones contienen el programa de inmunizaciones que se requiere que tengan los niños en Colorado para cuando ingresen a la escuela primaria; también hay otra información acerca de las inmunizaciones y las vacunas que incluyen, la dirección del nuevo portal de la Web, y los números telefónicos de la Línea de Salud Familiar y del Programa de Inmunizaciones del departamento, a donde los padres pueden llamar para obtener información acerca de las vacunaciones y el lugar donde pueden obtenerse. El número telefónico de la Línea de Salud Familiar es el (303) 692-2229 o 1-800-688-7777 y el número telefónico del Programa de Inmunizaciones es el (303) 692-2650. Se requiere que los niños de Colorado tengan las inmunizaciones que los protejan de 13 enfermedades infantiles para cuando cumplan 2 años de edad. Éstas incluyen las vacunas contra la difteria, el tétano y la tos ferina (pertusis) o tos convulsiva (DTaP), la influenza haemophilus tipo B, la influenza, el sarampión, las paperas, la enfermedad neumocócica o neumonía, la polio, la rubéola, y la varicela o viruela loca. “Los padres de Coloradon que quieran que se inmunice a sus hijos, deben acudir a la agencia que les proporciona atención médica”, dijo Benevento. “Pero si no tienen quien les proporcione atención médica en forma regular, hay clínicas, departamentos locales de salud y servicios de atención médica en los condados, en donde se pueden obtener las inmunizaciones”. El director estatal de salud dijo que las agencias públicas de salud cobran una cuota administrativa pequeña por administrar las inmunizaciones, pero dijo que se pueden exentar del pago de la cuota si los padres no pueden pagarla. También, como parte del esfuerzo publicitario, se lanzará una campaña de anuncios de servicio público sobre la importancia de las inmunizaciones en Univisión, una de las estaciones de televisión en idioma español de Colorado, el miércoles 13 de julio. La campaña de publicidad fue desarrollada por el Programa de Inmunizaciones y la Oficina de Comunicaciones, trabajando con Cactus Communications, que es una firma de publicidad de Colorado.

Jason Yaun, president of Y Construction Inc. recalls living in a home as a small boy that was heated (space and domestic hot water) and also a small pool was heated in the summer months. He recruited the aid and expertise of his father (an industrial engineer) to design two very different but efficient systems for the two different building sites to be used in this year’s Parade of Homes. 1069 Lynx Dr. (Home #20), on Liberty Point in Pueblo West, has an excellent southern exposure. The house is therefore a passive solar hybrid. Solar energy entering the upper level windows heats the 2” thick concrete and tile floor and is transferred to the 4” thick Two heads are better than one WHY GO TO ANYONE ELSE? ü 17 Years of Combined Experience ü Services in English, Spanish, and German ü Buyers will not have any Realtor fees with us!

This process also prevents overheating during the winter months, a long time draw back in passive solar designs. Y Construction’s new energy efficient homes utilize heat transfer is made possible by using the components of a radiant in floor heating system. This system is low entropy and efficient. The technology level is “Root Cellar”. Parts are all standard and easy to find and replace if ever needed. Y’s other solar home is located at 169 Blue Hills Dr. (Home #21), where the orientation of the lot is NOT conducive for a passive solar heat gain through southern exposed windows. A massive action system was designed consisting of (8) 4 x 10 black chrome solar collector panels and a 1200 gallon highly insulated storage tank interfaced with a very simple and effective radiant in floor heating system. Nearly 1,000,000 Btu’s can be stored in the storage tank, an ample amount to heat both the domestic hot water and space heating requirements of the home for several days, even in very cold weather with little sun light. “We are not sure how the public will receive our two innovative homes this year, but it is time to start looking at alternative energy as a viable option,” says Yaun. “We are very excited of the possibilities and hope the public will stop in to see what we’ve done.” Kent Shelman of E-Star Energy say that Tracy Y of Green Built Colorado has been through the two homes and has also asked Y Construction of she could do a feature story on them in an upcoming addition of “Colorado Builder Forum”. Hispanics Gain 45,000 New Jobs Cont. from page 7 This is despite an increase of 38,000 jobs, which was not sufficient to absorb the additional 50,000 Hispanic men that joined the labor force. With less jobs than workers, the ranks of the unemployed swelled by 12,000 men. For Hispanic women 20 years and over, the unemployment rate rose to 5.9 percent from 5.8 percent in May. In this case, in the increase was driven by a loss of 57,000 jobs as 54,000 women dropped out of the labor force. From the data, it is not possible to determine whether women voluntarily left these jobs in order to exit the labor force (possibly due to family responsibilities) or whether after losing their jobs these women became discouraged and are not currently seeking new employment. The unemployment rate among young Hispanics (16 to 19 years) of both sexes increased to 21.0 percent, or slightly over one fifth, from 19.9 percent in May. This was due to an increase of 113,000 Hispanic youths into the labor market with the creation of only 78,000 new jobs for this group. However, this is may be due to the seasonal fluctuation of school graduations, rather than underlying labor market conditions. vehículos calientes Continua de página 6 You shouldn’t need a map to keep track of your finances.
