N O Panorama News N E W S HISPANIC AMERICANS’ Puts Faces on over 500 Years of History Lo bueno, lo malo, lo feo de Río 2016 The story of Hispanic Americans stretches from coast to coast and across 500 years of history. The Spanish first arrived in Florida long before the pilgrims and then settled in California. Long before California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas were part of the United States, it was Mexico. But the history of the United States, as most of us learned it, still begins with Jamestown, Plymouth Rock and the Pilgrims. Los Juegos Olímpicos de Michael Phelps, de Usain Bolt, de Neymar, de Mónica Puig, y también los de Abbey D'Agostino y Nikki Hamblin, cierran con nuevas historias para el recuerdo y el olvido. “We tend to think of the United States as an English thing,” says Ray Suarez, who wrote the companion book to “Latino Americans,” a six-part, three-night documentary series beginning Tuesday on PBS. “But this is a case of three empires, Spain, France and Britain, that went charging into this new territory, elbows out, bumping into one another and jostling for dominance.” RIO DE JANEIRO - Michael Phelps ganó más medallas que cualquier otro atleta, otra vez. Y luego dijo adiós, nuevamente. Usain Bolt besó en su despedida la línea de meta luego de mejorar su legado olímpico. Simone Biles y Katie Ledecky se entregaron See RÍO on page 3 See HISPANIC on page 3 Superintendent Named Head of Rochester’s failing Schools Por: Marcos Lebron Así como Panorama Hispano mostró la opinión de algunos ciudadanos hispanos que expresaron su apoyo para el virtual candidato republicano, Donald Trump, ahora se brinda espacio para que los seguidores de la aspirante presidencial demócrata, Hillary Clinton, externen su opinión de porqué consideran que ella debe llegar a la Casa Blanca. The selection of Barbara Dean-Williams as the new superintendent of Rochester schools signals big changes ahead, and that is just what the troubled school district needs. “The students cannot wait any longer and neither can the city, finally experiencing a resurgence that can easily stall without a functioning public school system that can attract and retain families”. Williams has her work cut out for her in trying to fix a district with lowest achievement and high dysfunction in the state. Her salary is a stunning $225,000, but she will be worth every penny if she Hispanos revelan porqué apoyan a Hillary Clinton succeeds in turning around the worst school district in the state system. The Rochester’s School District is in desperate straits. Superintendents have A sus 71 años de edad, María Rivera, Puertorriquena de nacimiento, se ha sumado como voluntaria a la campaña de Clinton ya que considera que la ex primera dama es la persona ideal para ocupar la presidencia debido a su inteligencia. “Yo no creo que haya otro candidato, ni del partido demócrata, menos del republicano, que estén preparados ocupar la Casa Blanca”, dijo Rivera; respecto a las investigaciones que el FBI ha hecho contra See SUPERINTENDENT on page 3 See CLINTON on page 3 Dr. Thomas Keohane DDS 487 Niagara St. • Buffalo, NY 14201 (716) 853-6601 For all your dental needs (716) 884-0888 Law Offices Consulta en su Hogar si tiene impedimiento o enfermedad Of NOemi ferNaNdez, PLLc Noemi FerNáNdez, esq., Bs, Jd Experiencia legal con la honestidád e integridad que usted se merece • LESIONES PERSONALES – Accidentes de Auto, Caidas Mala Práctica Médica • LEY DE FAMILIA – Custodia, Mantenimiento, Ofensas de Familia, Visitación, Adopciones • MATRIMONIAL – Contratos pre-matrimonio, Contratos de separación, divorcios y contratos, Contratos post-matrimonio Hablamos Tu Idioma • DEFENSA CRIMINAL – (Estatal - Federal) • TESTAMENTOS, PODERES, CASOS DE HERENCIA (testado/no testado/Guardianes y Tutores) • BANCARROTA, IMIGRACIÓN, ARTICULOS 81 (Guardianes y Tutores) • BIENES RAICES – (cierre de casa en compras y ventas) 69 Delaware Ave., Suite 603 Buffalo, NY 14202 716.842.1379 Abierto: Lunes a Viernes de 9:00am - 7:00pm • Sabados 9:00am - 6:00pm Para emergencias fín de semana 716-864-9618 pg PANORAMA HISPANO ׀September/Septiembre 2016 ׀BUFFALO • DUNKIRK • ROCHESTER • ERIE 2 Puerto Rican and Hispanic Day Parade a Huge Success Buffalo News Page 4 As Puerto Ricans Move to Florida, the Clinton Campaign Is Waiting for Them Buffalo News Page 4 Suhr Laments Olympic Analista asegura no es Shortfall Despite tiempo para el estatus Giving Best Effort Mundo Latino Page 9 Dunkirk News Page 8 No manches Frida – 9/2/16 Entretenimiento Page 13 Cambia tu pensamiento • Constante aprender • No pierdas tu tiempo Tu Reflejo Page 16 Viajando por el mar Mediterráneo y el mar Adriático en un hotel flotante Al Panorama Page 5 Facebook's WhatsApp Turns on Encryption for 1 Billion Users Tech & Science News Page 10 Cruisin’ for a Cure Car Show at Roswell Park Targets Prostate Cancer Disparities Salud News Page 17 Miss Rochester Puerto Rico - Tia Rivera Rochester News Page 7 Lukas Alvira is Jr. Grand Marshal of PR&H Parade Conozca su Gente Page 11 Federal Reserve under growing pressure to reform system, goals Business News Page 18 PEGGY J.

So, Latinos are the newest immigrants to the United States and also the oldest inhabitants.” Hillary Clinton, su seguidora añadió que, “Opino que es tanta basura lo que hacen, quieren ensuciar la imagen de la señora. Por eso yo estoy sigo ayudando a la señora Clinton, y lo voy a seguir haciendo hasta el final”. Suarez, chief national correspondent for PBS’ “NewsHour,” admits that covering the entire history of Latino Americans in just six hours or 256 pages is “a lot to tackle. It’s a big bite of history, and there’s a lot to stuff into each hour. But I think the series handles that in a way that’s both interesting and coherent, and I hope the book supports that.” The series and book are structured chronologically, beginning with the earliest history of the Americas. But each episode or chapter also singles out characters (sometimes depicted in dramatizations) through whom the story comes alive. We meet Apolinaria Lorenzana, who as a child is snatched from Mexico and grows old as an important figure in the Spanish Missions. Juan Seguin, both Texan and Mexican, fights at the Alamo on the American side, next to Davy Crockett. Moving along, in World War II, Macario Garcia becomes the first Mexican National to earn the Congressional Medal of Honor. Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta march for the rights of migrant workers in the 1970s. Hispanics service to the United States Military can be traced back to the Civil war. Records of Hispanics in the armed forces were not kept until the 1970s, according to the Pew Center for Latino Studies. While some records show that thousands of Hispanic American men — Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans for instance — fought in the Civil War as well as the two World Wars, researchers have determined that many more served and died than official documents show. As a result of the omission, the full story of Hispanic sacrifice may never be fully told. And that is a shame, since Latinos have been part of the building of America — including dying while protecting it — for hundreds of years. If the records don’t show that Hispanics served and died, that we toiled in the trenches and contributed with blood, how does our nation measure Hispanic contributions, let one acknowledge them? In the new American conversation, cultural celebrations like these matter, and they matter greatly. They help us better explain our Hispanic story to each other and ourselves; they matter for the individual and national psyche, because they allow the 50 million-plus Hispanics, and the larger American family, to better appreciate the Hispanic story within the greater American narrative. Why is this important to know? By 2050, almost one in three people in the United States will be Latino, a total of more than 130 million, Suarez writes, citing a Pew Hispanic Center projection. Pew also expects the Hispanic population to triple between 2005 and 2050. As immigration remains a divisive issue, the vision of the United States as a melting pot is different today, Suarez says.

Except, there is no time for negativity. More than half of the city’s schools are facing an outside takeover, or receivership, within the next year or two. Rochester’s schools are suffering from a dismal graduation rate, hovering around 40 percent. English and math proficiency in many schools was below 10 percent – in some cases well below – in the most recent state tests for the lower grades. These results stem from many issues common to large urban school districts, including high poverty rates, large numbers of students who speak little English and poor attendance. Williams is taking on a challenging task, to say the least. She seems to have a strong base of support, at least for now. In a rare demonstration of accord by a fractured School Board, she was approved unanimously. Deane Williams says she's been given a list of goals, including improved test scores and graduation rates. With 30 years of school administration experience, she's the former leader of the Greece Schools, and worked this past school year in Boston. "She's a seasoned leader that will come and hit the ground running," said Malik Evans, of the RCSD Board of Education. "Obviously we all learn, but she's won't need to pick up a book and see how to run a school district. She knows how to do that." María Rivera ha vivido en Rochester por 48 años, La señora de 71 años dice que Clinton puede ayudar a los jóvenes y a las personas a salir adelante, añadió que espera ayude a las personas ancianas con Medicare y medicamentos en caso de llegar a la presidencia. Pero Rivera, una señora retirada, dice que ella espera que Hillary Clinton ayude a los latinos por medio de una reforma migratoria; además se mostro confiada en que la demócrata puede ayudar a los latinos a permanecer legalmente en el país. “A la señora Clinton tenemos que ponerle un congreso demócrata, puros políticos demócratas, para que ellos trabajen con ella. Tengo mucha fe que lo va arreglar”, expresó Rivera. A sus 20 años de edad y de ascendencia salvadoreña, Selena Torres votará por primera vez en una elección presidencial. Ella califica a Clinton como una gran líder que quiere hacer cambios progresivos en el país, además de que entiende la necesidad por cambiar las leyes. “Hillary Clinton entiende que nuestro país necesita una reforma que exprese una nación de justicia e igualdad, especialmente en los derechos humanos. Ella apoya una reforma al sistema de educación, el sistema de justicia criminal e inmigración, comentó Torres. Algunos especialistas dicen que Donald Trump atrae seguidores por manifestarse de una manera diferente al típico discurso político que emplea Hillary Clinton, pero Selena considera que la experiencia de la demócrata es una ventaja sobre su contrincante. “Es muy difícil para un candidato político, porque tiene que decir las cosas que la gente quiere escuchar. Pienso que Hillary dice las cosas que ella sabe que el público quiere oír sobre la necesidad de cambio; pero la diferencia entre Clinton y otros candidatos es que ella tiene la experiencia que demuestra que cumple lo que dice”, aseveró Torres. Si bien el presidente Obama no ha logrado una reforma de migración, la cual debe ser aprobada por el congreso, sí ha intentado otorgar alivios migratorios como DACA en 2012 y DAPA y DACA II en 2014, estos últimos dos fueron negados recientemente por la Corte Suprema.

Una isla entera estalló en festejos tras conseguir su primer oro olímpico en una final de tenis, y un multimedallista se embarcó de regreso a casa para evitar problemas legales después de una historia de un supuesto asalto. Y a continuación, la selección verdeamarela dio al país anfitrión el título que le hacía falta en su prestigiosa vitrina: el oro en el fútbol olímpico masculino.Y horas más tarde, el del voleibol masculino. Los Juegos Olímpicos de Río de Janeiro no fueron perfectos. Pero brindaron momentos para el recuerdo: algunos grandes, algunos terribles y otros francamente feos. He aquí un vistazo: LIDERES DEL MEDALLERO Estados Unidos dominó el medallero y, aun cuando hay finales en disputa el domingo en el cierre de las justas, su margen de victorias podría ser el más amplio en 68 años. Phelps se adjudicó nuevamente la friolera de seis metales -cinco de ellos de oro- para aumentar su registro personal a 23 preseas doradas, y 28 en total. Ledecky y Biles ganaron cinco medallas cada uno; Biles llevará la bandera de Estados Unidos en la ceremonia de clausura. La tiradora estadounidense Kim Rhode, en tanto, quedó como la atleta en ganar una medalla en seis olimpiadas consecutivas. EL MEJOR RESULTADO Bolt besó la línea de meta después de conseguir su noveno y último oro olímpico -en sus nueve carreras- para un final perfecto. Hizo el último tramo del relevo 4x100 metros de Jamaica, ganando de forma enfática para convertirse en el tercer atleta en la historia en sumar nueve oros en el atletismo. Luego insistió en que este sería el final de su carrera olímpica. "No queda nada que demostrar", señaló Bolt. Él tiene razón. "Soy el más grande", agregó. The district embarked on its search after embattled former Superintendent Bolgen Vargas announced his resignation in October. The board tapped former Syracuse superintendent Dan Lowengard to serve in the interim, but in January he suffered a stroke and resigned. Ex-Buffalo school administrator Linda Cimusz became the third superintendent in three weeks. MEJOR ESPIRITU DEPORTIVO En el calor de la prueba de los 5.000 metros de mujeres, la estadounidense Abbey D'Agostino y la neozelandéesa Nikki Hamblin -extrañas hasta ese momento entra ambasquedaron involucradas en una caída. D'Agostino ayudó a Hamblin, animándola a terminar la carrera. D'Agostino se desgarró un ligamento de la rodilla en el otoño y, obviamente, no pudo terminar. Hamblin finalizó última en la prueba, por lo que tampoco subió al podio. Barbara Deane-Williams, three-year contract will pay her an annual salary of $225,000. She plans on quickly developing missing system, and developing organizational structures that supports teachers in the class room and in turn improves student outcomes. Pero en lugar de ello, consiguieron mucho más. The search for a new superintendent of schools had been done out of the public eye. Deane-Williams name didn't even come into the picture until last month.

Como nunca me encontré con esta chica antes. ¿No es algo increíble?" Sí lo es.

The parade included Congressman Brian Higgins, Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown, Dunkirk Mayor and Grand Marshall Willie Rosas, Jr. Grand Marshal Lukas Alvira , Miss Borinquen Merce DeJesus and the President of the Parade Yolanda Martinez-Rodriguez. The annual Buffalo Puerto Rican and Hispanic Day Parade came through Niagara Square and up Niagara Street ending in LaSalle Park Saturday with music, dancing and residents celebrating the weekend. This year the Parade organizers moved the annual event to August; following months of discussion with City of Buffalo resident who had expressed concerns with bad weather in previous years. Thousands of residents enjoyed the music of Charlie Cruz, Michael Stuart, Antonetti, La Krema, Ronny Y , Mariachi Band Zelaya and a host of other entertainers. The theme of this year's parade was REPRESENTA. The crowds of thousands waved flags from their native countries and danced the weekend away celebrating their cultures and being thankful for their new found home. The president of the Parade committee, Yolanda Martinez- Rodriguez said “I want to take this time to thank my amazing board for putting forth their best efforts to make the 2016 Puerto Rican and Hispanic Day Parade of WNY the best for our community and surrounding areas. I have the best two Vice Presidents, Crystal Rodriguez and Bernice DeJesus that do so much behind the scenes to ensure all runs smooth and bring their families into the mix to make sure all gets done. Alex Sarabia our Treasure that works closely on our finances and did so much running around this weekend. We also have brought on new members that have also stepped up to the plate this year and really taught us what teamwork is, Octavio Villegas, Erika Espinosa and Emily Melendez and Luis Santos. I also want to thank my family who works endless hours with me to make this happen. My husband Eugenio, who is my rock and right hand man, without you this would not be possible. I put my kids Emilia and Alex through so much and they still stick by my side to make sure all works smoothly (love you both so much). Thank you Frank Reyes and Sam DeJesus you never fail us. Thank you to our artist and drivers that did so much quietly and discretely. And most important I thank all those that took time this weekend to volunteer and bring this all together. "It takes a village is right". This parade and festival's success depends on sponsors and everyone in our community and I thank you.” This year’s events had the most participants and attendance in the history of the Parade. Case de Arte presents: "Mexican Movements: “Carlos Mérida and his Compañeros." Opening reception: Saturday, September 10, from 6 to 10 pm. Thereafter, by appointment: registering their children for school, and hoping to establish them, in the long term, as conservatives. Mr. Trump’s dismal standing with Latino voters has complicated the task. An ABC News/ Washington Post poll in mid-June found that 89 percent of Hispanics held negative views of him. And this week, the chief spokesman for the Florida Republican Party, Wadi Gaitan — the son of Honduran immigrants — left his post to join Libre, citing Mr. Trump as his reason. “Moving on gives me a great, new opportunity to continue promoting free-market solutions while avoiding efforts that support Donald Trump,” Mr. Gaitan said in a statement. Republicans could once rely on solidly conservative Cuban-American political refugees in Miami as a crucial source of support. But it is not so simple anymore: Young Cuban arrivals are less reliably Republican; South Americans now make up a growing segment of the Latino population in the state; and Puerto Ricans, who at more than a million statewide now rival the Cuban-American population, are flocking to Orange, Osceola and Polk Counties in Central Florida — once the heart of the state’s white working-class vote. Those demographic changes have already had consequences: George W. Bush lost to John Kerry in Orange County by fewer than 1,000 votes in 2004, but in 2008 and again in 2012, President Obama won there by about 85,000. Still, while Puerto Ricans generally favor Democrats, they have tended to be less partyconscious than some other groups, bolstering Mr. Obama in his two Florida victories but also helping to elect Charlie Crist as governor when he was a Republican. And in contrast to Cuban-Americans, who have long wielded power in Florida, newly arrived Puerto Rican voters often need to be reminded they can even vote. “Their political participation on the island is so high,” said Lorella Praeli, the Peruvianborn Latino vote director for the Clinton campaign. “Now that they’re in Florida, it’s about voter education, reminding them they can participate.” Some have not required prodding. Fernando Ruiz, 39, said that registering to vote was among his first priorities after fleeing Toa Alta, P.R., last year amid the island’s debt crisis. “There’s no excuse,” he said through an interpreter when asked why it was important to vote. “I came to the United States to progress.” After finding work at a pizza restaurant, Mr. Ruiz said, he was quickly promoted to food preparer from dishwasher. Esteban Garces, the Florida state director for Mi Familia Vota, a nonprofit that registers Hispanic voters, said the group expected to enroll 30,000 Latinos across five counties of Central Florida before Election Day. More than half, he said, were likely to be Puerto Rican. “It’s driving a migration to this area that’s not been seen before,” Mr. Garces said of the island’s financial strain. Sergio Bendixen, a Democratic pollster in Miami, was more blunt: The crisis-related influx, he said, has been “very good news for the Democrats.” Casa de Arte, 141 Elmwood Ave..

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Bilingual campaign workers fanned out across the event hall, clutching clipboards as they sought prospective voters to register. Handmade signs shot up from the crowd: “Latinos for Hillary” and “Estoy con ella!” And from the stage at her rally here on Monday night, Hillary Clinton set aside time for “a special word about Puerto Rico.” “If you live in Puerto Rico, you can’t vote for your president and commander in chief, right?” she reminded thousands of supporters, noting that she had worked closely with Puerto Ricans as a senator from New York. “But as an American citizen, if you move to Florida or New York, you can vote for the president and commander in chief.” Se Busca a Mario Feliciano Quiñones de origen puertorriqueño, el cual se ha dado de desaparecido y su familia esta muy angustiada al no saber de su paradero. Cualquier información por favor comunicarse con la policía al 716-851-4444y al 614-817-6800. Indeed. Amid the commonwealth’s devastating debt crisis, Puerto Ricans have moved in droves to the American mainland, with as many as 1,000 families a month relocating to Florida, according to the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration. In that exodus, Clinton campaign organizers have recognized an opportunity, setting off a furious scramble to register a coveted class of new voters: those who arrive as full-fledged citizens. Many are settling in Central Florida, a swing region in a swing state with a peerless record of razor-thin electoral margins. Campaign officials and outside groups have responded accordingly. In the Orlando area — which for years has been a de facto San Juan suburb, with an estimated 400,000 Puerto Ricans calling it home — the Clinton campaign has assigned organizers to neighborhoods, churches and even bus stops. “Caravanas” of cars blasting reggaeton music and reminders to vote call to mind similar processions through San Juan’s cobblestone streets during elections on the island. When neighbors come outside to investigate the fuss, they are offered brochures about the candidate, known to many Latinos simply as “La Hillary,” and about her plans for education and health care. Democrats are not operating unchallenged. While Donald J. Trump’s campaign has left little organizational footprint, other Republican-aligned operatives have stepped in. Though they are sitting out the presidential campaign, Charles G. and David H. Koch, billionaire Republican donors, are financing the Libre Initiative, which works to educate Latinos about conservative positions. Libre has nearly 30 employees in Florida and has begun appearing regularly with booths at expos held in Florida and in Puerto Rico for new arrivals and those leaving the island — offering would-be migrants help finding jobs or Ralph M.

En un crucero reciente que tomamos por el las aguas adriáticas y del mediterráneo en Europa, visitamos varios destinos en diferentes países durante la travesía y aquí te muestro lo mas destacado de cada destino. Corfú, Grecia- esta fue nuestra 4to punto durante el crucero y es una de las islas más bellas y populares del país. Esto se debe a su fuerte conexión histórica con Europa, esta fue una de las primeras islas griegas que se abrieron al turismo.

Sus vacaciones en Corfú se pueden combinar con otras islas Jónicas, como Paxi. VENECIA – Esta ciudad rodeada de agua con canales siendo sus calles principales pero sin autos, que para recorrerla tiene que ser a pie. Esta ciudad cuenta con una inmensa historia que comenzó desde antes de la era de cristo y al mismo es un museo por el arte de sus edificios y la construcción de la misma, al mismo tiempo esta ciudad es una de las mas fascinantes del mundo. Para poder transportarte a esta ciudad del aeropuerto a tu hotel o dentro de ella tiene que ser por medio de lancha. Esta ciudad es famosa por sus góndolas que en sus tiempos era una de las maneras de transportación privada y publica dentro de esta ciudad, que a la vez esta construida como un laberinto con muchos lugares interesantes y llenos de historia.

Sus palacios son increíbles y muchos de ellos construidos desde la época renacentista de la ciudad. Esta ciudad ha sido una ciudad mercantil y habitada por muchas dinastías, entre ellas la de los Bizantinos, Romanos y el mundo musulmán. La ciudad sigue siendo una de las mas románticas del mundo y una de las que debes visitar antes de que se desaparezca por los niveles de agua que siguen subiendo a través de los años. Ajaccio, Francia La capital de Córcega y de la región de Corse du Sud, está situada en la costa occidental de la isla y su puerto está abierto al Mediterráneo. Villa natal de Napoleón Bonaparte, es una de las ciudades más bellas de Córcega, un lugar único porque se sitúa en un golfo mirando al mar, con un fondo de montañas nevadas hasta primavera. A esto se añaden los colores vivos, la luz intensa – descubierta por Henri Matisse, entre otros artistas y escritores, tiene unos 300 días de sol al año, la riqueza de su patrimonio y largas playas de aguas cristalinas donde se puede aun se puede bañarse casi entrando el otoño. Además, la ciudad está llena de lugares que recuerdan al emperador Napoleón Bonaparte: el Museo Nacional de la casa de Bonaparte, la Capilla imperial, el salón napoleónico, en el ayuntamiento, una estatua y calles en su honor…que se unen al encanto del casco antiguo, la catedral del Renacimiento, el Museo Fesch, la Ciudadela del siglo XVI,…y por supuesto sus mercados de segunda muy famosos en la isla.

Judson, Chairman and CEO of The Pike Company, will join the dual-language human services agency as it recognizes nearly a dozen business and community leaders for their support of Ibero and the community-at-large. “In our work to build stronger families and greater self-sufficiency among individuals of all ethnic backgrounds, we work with many people, organizations and businesses that support our mission and that of the entire community in order to make our city and region a better place to live and work. Tom Judson Jr. is one of these individuals and we are honored to have him as our keynote speaker this year,” says Ibero President and CEO Hilda Rosario Escher. Judson began his career in construction as a laborer and carpenter apprentice during school summer breaks for John B. Pike & Son, Inc., a general contracting company founded by his great-grandfather in 1873. He became president of the company in 1975. In 1985, he established The Pike Company, Inc., one of New York State’s most respected and successful construction firms. Under Tom’s leadership, Pike has played a major role in shaping the region’s landscape with projects for numerous clients such as Rochester City School District, City School District of Albany, University of Rochester, Cornell University, Xerox Corporation, Corning Incorporated and Con-Edison. Pike has built numerous major projects throughout the country including the General Motors & Exxon Pavilions at Disney’s Epcot Center in Orlando, Florida, the Charlotte, North Carolina Airport and the Bryan Cancer Center and Fuqua Business School at Duke University. Shootings may be up, but crime is down in Rochester Syracuse saw an eruption of violence — 10 shootings in four separate incidents. The central New York city has seen a spate of gun violence, and is now on a pace for a 30 percent increase in shootings over last year. That increase is almost identical to what is happening in Rochester, where shootings are on the rise even as other violent crimes decrease. Across the country, in fact, many midsized and large cities are seeing leaps in violent incidents. These increases have police and criminologists questioning whether they portend a crime wave or are, in fact an anomaly — albeit an anomaly that leaves much grief and pain. "It's all across the country and the experts are scratching their heads asking, 'Why is this happening?'" said Scott Heagney, who heads the Rochester regional office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. "It's not just Rochester." For Rochester, however, the violence became particularly traumatic with Wednesday's triple homicide outside the Boys & Girls Club of Rochester at 500 Genesee St. Killed in a drive-by shooting were Jonah Barley, Raekwon Manigault and Johnny Johnson. The southwest Rochester neighborhood has seen its share of violence, but the three killings shook residents, who have continued vigils at the site of the killings. "Kids are dying," said Eileen Graham, a neighbor who was at a vigil Wednesday. John Klofas, a criminal justice professor at Rochester Institute of Technology, said Wednesday's killings may resonate with residents because the incident was so different than many others. A car drove by the Boys & Girls Club parking lot after a crowd emptied out after a summer-league basketball game. One or more shooters fired wildly from the car, killing the three and wounding four others. The crime seemed much more random with its victims than many of the city's shootings, where the victim and the perpetrator typically know each other. "This particular event is an unusual event for Rochester, with multiple victims in the street," Klofas said. Rochester is seeing a steady decline in crimes. According to newly released FBI data, the number of violent crimes dropped by nearly 23 percent between 2005 and 2015. Until this year, the number of shootings also continued to drop. This year, however, shootings could be the highest number in the past nine years. Klofas remembers when homicides totaled between 60 and 70 annually in the early 1990s. Now the annual figure is typically half that. Still, Klofas said, Rochester's crime rate is often higher than many cities of similar size — something that has remained true over the past two decades. "This is not what we saw in the early 1990s, but we all have to face the fact that we have a pg 7 serious problem of violence," he said. For the past decade, the Rochester Youth Violence Partnership has tried to map out intervention strategies to curb violence. Local hospitals and nonprofits collaborate and devise ways to redirect the victims and perpetrators of violence. The partnership also focuses on the trauma that youths suffer when they live in a community where violence is commonplace. The increase in Rochester shootings does not necessarily presage greater crime in the future, said Jeff Rideout, a pediatric social worker at Golisano Children's Hospital and a member of the partnership. "They tend to be episodic," he said. "There are highs, then all of a sudden, there are lows." There has been a drop in teenage shooting victims, Rideout said. Instead, men in their mid- to late 20s make up the "preponderance of the victimization," he said. Many of the guns used in local violence are stolen or given to drug dealers in exchange for drugs, said Heagney of the ATF. "We're seeing a lot of thefts (of guns) and a lot of trading guns for drugs," he said. "That's not city kids. They're getting the guns from the folks in the suburbs that are trading their guns for drugs." The ATF's Heagney said that gang issues are at the root of much of Rochester's increased violence. "I think we're just dealing with a … generation that doesn't respect life and goes right to the gun to settle disputes, whether it's a slight to a girlfriend or protecting their turf," he said. " ... It's just senseless. There's no other way to describe it. There's no rhyme or reason for it." Buffalo, unlike many cities, is seeing a decline in shootings in 2016. A task force there identified organized gangs and members and targeted them with increased law enforcement. In Rochester, research has shown that gangs are fluid, with individuals floating in and out, and little in the way of a hierarchical structure. Those characteristics can make it difficult to pinpoint the real roots of gang-related violence, Klofas said. "We have as many conflicts within gangs in Rochester as we do across gangs," he said." ... The gangs in Rochester are very amorphous." The Rochester Youth Violence Partnership is scheduled to meet next week and Rideout said he expects the triple killing to be on the minds of all of the members. For now, he said, it is difficult to look at the homicides in a clinical or statistical way. "I'm still processing it viscerally," he said. "It's really hurt quite a few of us. It's again the wanton taking of life." www.dyc.edu 800.777.3921 716.829.7600 Start, Advance or Change Your Career in the Business of Healthcare BS in Health Analytics A new high demand program designed to help health care organizations provide better cost effective care and improve the way they function MS in Health Services Administration To enhance practicing health professionals and educators DHA in Health Administration A program for management and leadership roles in health care BS in Public Health A program preparing students to enter a diverse public health workforce BS in Health Services Management Designed at the Undergraduate level to enter the health services job market pg 8 PANORAMA HISPANO ׀September/Septiembre 2016 ׀BUFFALO • DUNKIRK • ROCHESTER • ERIE Noticias de Dunkirk Mayor Rosas was Grand Marshall of the Puerto Rican and Hispanic Day Parade of WNY Mayor Rosas of Dunkirk, the first Hispanic elected Mayor in New York State, paraded as Grand Marshall of the 14th annual Puerto Rican and Hispanic Day Parade which was held in Buffalo on Saturday August 20th, 2016.

Suhr Laments Olympic Shortfall Despite Giving Best Effort Olympic pole vaulter Jenn Suhr says even though she gave her best effort and that the illness she came down with this week hampered her chances of winning another gold medal, she feels she let down her supporters. On Saturday, the Fredonia native made a post on her Facebook account detailing her feelings during and after Friday's women's pole vault final in Rio. Here is what she said: The feeling of disappointing yourself is hard to handle. The feeling of disappointing others is even harder. I am embarrassed and upset. I am trying to come to grips with the unfortunate circumstances that came about this last week. It is a blurred nightmare. How can I train and prepare for years/months/weeks making my body stronger than the day before, then when it's time for all that hard work to show I get sick. Sicker than I have ever been. I felt myself losing strength each day. I was exhausted, my body was weak and sore. I still don't know what I contracted down here. Every day I woke up, I was worse than the day before. I couldn't help but feel all those countless hours of work start to reverse at the speed of light. I have lost a lot of weight and my power is gone. During my Olympic Final warmup I felt hopeful, but I also knew that was all that I had. I felt my muscles start shaking and my legs were giving out from under me. It was such a helpless feeling. On my last miss it was hard not to wonder why I put myself and those I love through this. I was being taken immediately from the infield to medical but through the media zone first. I made it through most of media without emotion. Then when I was asked about my supporters back home I cried. I cried because I am not bringing home a medal for you. My past gold and silver didn't matter in Rio. I cried because I felt and still feel I disappointed you. I cried because I let you down. I don't know what the next step is and when this emotional pain will go away. Rick says it will last as long as I let it. I understand the concept but how do I start. How do you not let your mind wonder and ponder on all the "whys". How did I get this sick? I don't want to be upset, but I can't help but feel I disappointed you. I have the best and most loyal supporters nationwide. But I know Western New York felt my disappointment. Western New Yorkers are tough, we are workers, and we don't quit. We give 100% even if we aren't. My parents, my grandparents taught me this...Ricks parents, his grandparents taught him. Their WNY attitude, grit and fire were passed down to us. Now, more than ever, I realize how many people this let down. I feel your prayers and encouragements more on a day that I let you down, that's how I know that you are true. Thank you for that WNY and nationwide support. The only thing I know a WNYer would do is to get right back out there and fight again. I feel loved by all of you. I gave all I had. Jamestown to Receive $10 Million in Downtown Revitalization Initiative Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that Downtown Jamestown was selected as the winner of the $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative in Western New York. The Downtown Revitalization Initiative, first laid out in the Governor’s 2016 State of the State address, marks a comprehensive plan to transform local neighborhoods into vibrant communities where the next generation of New Yorkers will want to live and work. The winner was selected as part of a competitive process by the state's Western New York Regional Economic Development Council and will receive $10 million in state funding to revitalize the local neighborhood and generate new opportunities for long-term growth and prosperity. The award will include up to $300,000 in planning funds for private sector experts to work with a local planning committee to draft a Strategic Investment Plan that will identify specific economic development, transportation, and housing and community projects. The grant is part of a $100 million effort to improve the urban vitality of city centers across the state. Plans will be completed by early 2017. "Investments in downtown communities are paying dividends by creating jobs, attracting businesses, and new talent across upstate New York," Governor Cuomo said. "This initiative will capitalize on Jamestown's cultural and historical vigor, upgrade critical infrastructure, and continue to attract employment opportunities and private investment to the region. With this investment, Jamestown will build on its progress and serve as a model for economic growth and opportunity for generations to come." "Governor Cuomo's unprecedented Downtown Revitalization Initiative acknowledges that thriving urban centers are key to changing attitudes and bringing people back to our communities," said Regional Economic Development Chair Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul. "I have seen first-hand how revitalizing one downtown can be transformative for an entire region. With support from the Regional Council, that's exactly what we expect will happen here." "Governor Cuomo's ground-up approach to economic development has allowed New York’s regional councils to drive business growth, create jobs and build stronger communities across the state," said Empire State Development President, CEO & Commissioner Howard Zemsky. "This investment will help Jamestown reach its greatest potential by breathing a new life to one of Western New York’s key urban centers. Through collaboration with state and local officials, we are investing in the region's strengths to build a bustling downtown and show everyone that Jamestown is a thriving community to live and work." Nearly $2.4 Million in Drugs Seized in Jamestown, New York A combined total of 15 kilos of drugs with a street value of almost $2.4 million has been seized during a bust in Jamestown, New York. Juan Pacheco Jr., 34, of Jamestown, faces three drug charges, including criminal possession of a controlled substance. Investigators from the Jamestown Metro Drug Task Force arrested Pacheco after they searched a residence in the 400 block of South Main Street around 1:30 p.m. Thursday. Inside, they found: $139,883 in cash 9 kilos of cocaine with a street value of more than $2 million 3.5 kilos of methamphetamine with a street value of $330,000 2.5 killos of marijuana with a street value of $35,000 Pacheco has been arraigned and sits behind bars in the Chautauqua County Jail.

Esta reacción se obtuvo durante su presentación en el foro “What’s Next for Puerto Rico”, celebrado por la Asociación de Constructores, la cual toma relevancia ante los rumores de que Kopacz es una de las personas que podría formar parte de la Junta. Según Kopacz, el estatus no es una discusión que ayuda en estos momentos a estabilizar la economía de la Isla, para lo cual entiende que el sector privado y el tercer sector deben jugar un papel muy importante. Sostuvo que la estructura del país debe enfocarse en la simplificación gubernamental, la política tributaria, la reducción en el costo de hacer negocios, la transformación tecnológica y la del sistema financiero, y buscar la eficiencia energética. “Puerto Rico tiene que enfocarse en esas prioridades y debe involucrar en el proceso al sector privado”, reiteró. Durante su exposición, enumeró las similitudes y diferencias entre Detroit y Puerto Rico, ante los escenarios de quiebra y la le llegada de una Junta. En ambos casos, dijo, se trató de un problema económico que venía de mucho tiempo, con una fuerte despoblación, entre otras. Asimismo, identificó entre las diferencias la calendarización política de la situación a nivel del Congreso, ventaja con la que Puerto Rico no contó. También señaló la amplia diversificación de emisores que posee la Isla, lo que entiende deberá tomar mucho más tiempo para poder lograr la reestructuración de la deuda. Igualmente aceptó que la aprobación de PROMESA es otra gran diferencia, que inclusive impacta el mercado municipal en su totalidad. Durante el foro, también participó el economista Gustavo Vélez, quien coincidió con Kopacz en torno al tema del estatus, sosteniendo que la Isla tiene otras prioridades que debe ejecutar para reducir la intervención de la Junta en la operación de la Isla. Sostuvo que mientras PROMESA debe trabajar con la reforma fiscal y la reestructuración de la deuda, Puerto Rico debe establecer metas a corto y mediano plazo para el desarrollo de plan económico y el logro de reforma competitiva. De igual manera entiende, que ambos organismos debe dirigir esfuerzos para resolver el problema del sistema de retiro de Puerto Rico. Entiende además, que PROMESA tendrá un impacto potencial en la estabilización fiscal, la restructuración de la deuda, la recuperación económica y la revitalización de la infraestructura, la cual sostuvo requerirá para su modernización unos $10,000 millones. Agregó que para el logro de estas necesidades las Alianzas Publico Privadas serán cruciales, ya que atraen nuevo capital. Durante su presentación fue enfático también en que la economía de Puerto Rico ha regresado a los niveles del 1999, la inversión a los años 1996 y la población a los años 1990, situación estructural que PROMESA no atiende y en la que la Isla tiene que trabajar. “Necesitamos impactar problemas fundamentales que necesitamos para el logro de la competitividad: la educación, los impuestos, las leyes laborales, el costo de energía y la dependencia gubernamental. Tenemos que reducir la vagancia institucional”. En tanto, Gian Carlo González, ex CIO del Estados Libre Asociado fue enérgico en la importancia de lograrse en la Isla una estructura digital que permita al gobierno ser más operacional y efectivo. Entiende que para su viabilidad, las APP pudiesen ser unas herramientas esenciales, y agilizaría el proceso de implementación y con ello la transformación del país”. Todos los deponentes coincidieron en que la herramienta clave para el resurgir de la Isla es el desarrollo económico, ya que es lo único que maximiza los ingresos que Puerto Rico necesita. Aunque coinciden también en que PROMESA no es lo que se hubiese deseado, igualmente aceptan ser la alternativa que potencia el logro de estas metas imponiendo disciplina fiscal y transparencia en los procesos para una transformación de país muy positiva. Solicitud de revocatorio contra Maduro irá a la siguiente fase CARACAS, VENEZUELA - La rectora del Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE) Tania de D'Amelio anunció que la Comisión de Participación Política y Financiamiento (Copafi) concluirá con una fase del cronograma para el referendo del presidente venezolano, Nicolás Maduro, y emitirá un informe sobre la solicitud de los opositores. "Hoy Copafi remitirá al CNE el Informe de Recomendaciones referidos a la solicitud presentadas por el partido MUD (alianza opositora Mesa de la Unidad Democrática), según artículo 21 de las normas del referendo revocatorio", escribió D'Amelio en su cuenta de la red social Twitter. Tras darse esta revisión que debió tomar unos 15 días continuos desde la fecha en que se presentó la solicitud, la Copafi remite al CNE un informe de recomendaciones para la procedencia o improcedencia de la solicitud hecha por los opositores para cesar el mandato del jefe de Estado venezolano. Desde el momento en que se emite el informe, la solicitud del revocatorio pasa a una nueva fase de espera que podría demorar hasta 15 días hábiles en la que los cinco rectores que dirigen el Poder Electoral venezolano, deberán decidir cuándo se podrá concretar el siguiente requisito, que consiste en la manifestación del apoyo popular que tiene la convocatoria a un referendo.

WhatsApp co-founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton announced in a blog post today they had successfully rolled out end-to-end encryption by default, marking the culmination of two years of work to help give people better security over their WhatsApp communications. Apple Files to Vacate Court Order in San Bernardino iPhone Case Apple Encryption Battle: What's Next After Feds Drop Case "The desire to protect people's private communication is one of the core beliefs we have at WhatsApp, and for me, it's personal," Koum wrote. "I grew up in the USSR during communist rule and the fact that people couldn't speak freely is one of the reasons my family moved to the United States." The issue has between balancing privacy and national security concerns has long been discussed between Silicon Valley, politicians and law enforcement, but it was the FBI vs. Apple case that dragged it into the spotlight. The FBI dropped the case last month after it said it was able to access an encrypted iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters. "While WhatsApp is among the few communication platforms to build full end-to-end encryption that is on by default for everything you do, we expect that it will ultimately represent the future of personal communication," Koum said. "Efforts to weaken encryption risk exposing people's information to abuse from cybercriminals, hackers, and rogue states." Users who have updated to the latest version of WhatsApp won't have to do anything to encrypt their messages, Koum said, as the new security setting will be on default all of the time. iPhone 7: The top 11 possible new features and how likely they are Apple is expected to release the iPhone 7 at the beginning of September. The next generation of its flagship handset is expected to have a host of new features, including a better camera, faster processor and no headphone jack. As the Silicon Valley giant prepares to unveil the devices on the week beginning September 5, we take a look at some of the top features the iPhone 7 could have and the likelihood that they will be introduced. 1. Better camera Rumours surrounding the iPhone 7 have consistently shown the handset with an upgraded, bigger camera. Some images have hinted that the iPhone 7 Plus will have a dual-lens camera, and the smaller 4.7-inch handset a much larger, protruding camera lens. The upgraded camera is likely to be one of the biggest draws of the new phone. It has been suggested that Apple will completely remove the home button on the iPhone 7, replacing it with a fingerprint scanner under the screen. The company recently filed a patent for technology that would facilitate this change, indicating that it is in the works. But is not likely to be ready in time for the iPhone 7's release. Instead, the iPhone 7 will probably have a pressure sensitive home button that works like the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus' "3D Touch" display. Bloomberg confirmed that the change, which would see the physical switch home button replaced with haptic feedback technology, is on its way. The suggestion is also supported by a raft of changes to the iPhone's home screen coming in iOS 10, the latest version of Apple's mobile software that is due to ship with the phone. 2.

The suggestion is also supported by a raft of changes to the iPhone's home screen coming in iOS 10, the latest version of Apple's mobile software that is due to ship with the phone. 7. Faster processor The next installment of the iPhone series, which could be even more powerful than the high-speed iPad Pro, is expected to run on a new A10 chip that could be 50 per cent faster than the current A9X, with 3GB of RAM and a 2.37GHZ processor. Numerous sources have suggested that the phone will have 3GB of RAM, where the current model has 2GB. 8. Third "Pro" model Apple first released two versions of its iPhone at the same time in 2013 when it unveiled the iPhone 5s alongside the more affordable iPhone 5c. Since then it has released two new handsets a year - in 2014 launching the 4.7-inch iPhone 6s with the 5.5-inch 6s Plus. This year the company could go one step further and release three versions of the handset. Rumours suggest the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus could be launched along with a high-end "iPhone 7 Pro" that will have a dual-lens camera. It is not clear if Apple will release three versions, or if the 7 Plus model will be the device that has a dual camera. The company could have been testing both the dual- and single-lens cameras for the 5.5-inch device, hence the multiple leaked images. 9. Different colours The release of a "Rose Gold" version of the iPhone last year proved extremely popular, as the gold did when it was first introduced with the 5s back in 2013. Given that the upcoming roster of handsets could look fairly similar to the last two generations, Apple may release a new set of colours to entice its customers to upgrade. Leaks and artist renditions have suggested that the iPhone 7 could come in "Space Black" and "Deep Blue" as well as gold, silver, rose gold and space grey. 10. Retina scanner Apple could up the biometric security features on the iPhone 7 by introducing a retina scanner or face recognition software. The company hasn't made any significant changes to its biometric technology since it launched "Touch ID" in 2013 with the iPhone 5s. Apple competitors have started experimenting with more biometric features, such as the retina scanner on Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 and the selfie login in Microsoft's Windows 10 anniversary update. There haven't however been any rumours that suggest either feature is coming to the iPhone 7. Likelihood: 3/10 11. Return to the all-glass iPhone Moving away from the aluminium case back to an all-glass one would be a drastic redesign for Apple. The chances of it happening one day are fairly high, and one of the manufacturing companies Apple works closely with has been developing an all-glass case for smartphones. But it is very unlikely that the iPhone 7 will be the handset Apple chooses to revert with. Instead it will probably save such a change for the 10 year anniversary edition of the iPhone, due to be released in 2017. ¡Empiece A Sentirse Mejor Hoy Mismo! ¿Por qué West Buffalo Chiropractic? • No Tiene Que Esperar, Le Hacemos Su Cita Inmediatamente • Modernas Instalaciones • Utilizamos Las Más Nuevas Tecnologías Lesiones De Trabajo 3. Ditching the headphone jack Another very consistent rumour surrounding the iPhone 7 is that Apple will ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack. The potentially controversial decision will render millions of users' headphones obsolete as the company forces a shift towards wireless headphones or those that connect to the phone's Lightning port. Bidding adieu to the 50-year-old jack would allow Apple to make the iPhone 7 1mm slimmer than the iPhone 6s. Given its history of dropping outdated technologies from its devices, including the laptop DVD drive, removable phone batteries and Adobe Flash, we can expect that the Silicon Valley giant will take the plunge on this one. 4. Waterproof iPhone Apple has left clues in the iOS 10 beta that suggest the iPhone 7 could be waterproof. A new feature in the software tells users not to plug the iPhone’s Lightning charging cable in when liquid has been detected. It has been pointed out that the feature bears a resemblance to those that manufacturers who have launched waterproof phones have included. 5. Fast charging Technology that lets smartphones gain hours of use in just minutes of charging could be added to the iPhone 7, according to Twitter user the Malignant. The boosted charging would introduce "five volt two amp charging", essentially doubling the electrical currents in the iPhone 6s. While some manufacturers, including Samsung and Huawei, are already using fast charging, there has only been the one rumour suggesting the iPhone 7 will come with the technology - so it should be taken with a pinch of salt. 6. Bigger battery Leaked images have suggested that the iPhone 7 will have a 1735 mAH capacity battery and the iPhone 7 Plus a 2810 mAH one - up from 1715 mAH and 2750 mAH respectively. Battery life remains one of the biggest complaints that users have against the iPhone. To address this, Apple introduced a "Low Power Mode" in iOS 9. Now a hardware upgrade could be on the cards as the company inches towards a longer battery life in its devices. • Aceptamos La Mayoría De Seguros y Procesamos Sus Cobros • Cómodos Planes De Pago • El Médico Habla Español Accidentes De Auto Lesiones De Deportes VISITA INICIAL INCLUYE Consulta, Examen, Examinación y primer tratamiento 35 Solamente $ Visitas proximas solo $25 Proveemos El Mejor Tratamiento Para: • Lesiones De Accidente de Auto • Lesiones De Trabajo • Lesiones En El Hogar • Latigazo • Nervios Irritados • Dolores De Cabeza • Hormiguea En Las Manos • Dolor De Espalda o Cintura o Brazos • Dolor Entre Los Hombros • Dolor de Piernas (Ciática) • Lesiones de Deportes • Síndrome De Túnel Carpiano • Dolor de Cuello Y Entiesimiento • Articulaciones Dolorosas • Corrección Postural Francisco Vaquero, D.C. 716.248.2825 455 Niagara St. • Buffalo, NY 14210 PANORAMA HISPANO ׀September/Septiembre 2016 ׀BUFFALO • DUNKIRK • ROCHESTER • ERIE Conozca su Gente Conozca su Gente Top Scholarship Winner and Jr. Grand Marshal of the PR and Hispanic Day Parade Lukas Alvira Professional Visual Artist PEGGY J. MARTINEZ The Puerto Rican and Hispanic Day Parade of WNY Association is pleased to announce the 2016 Jr. Grand Marshal winner and Scholarship recipient of their Jr. Grand Marshal Youth Development Program. Lukas Alvira is an 18 years old youth recently graduated from Hutch Tech High School. He plans to attend Medaille College where he will major in Sports Management. Lukas is a great role model to his younger brothers and to his community, where he has been involved in for the past few years. He helps with whatever is requested of him. Lukas first started at the Boys & Girls club on 10th street four years ago as a Summer Youth Program Worker. At first he was hesitant about what role he would have here, but little did he know, this place would play a big part in his life. Although his work schedule was from 8 am to noon he would stay until 6pm, the clubs closing time, to help and assist both staff and youth. He has made a huge impact on the kids he has met and mentored with the help of other staff. He knew that he wanted to be a better person and that he was meant to help others to also achieve success. Lukas has won the Youth of the Year award from the Boys & Girls club, which is an award given to the best youth leader in the Buffalo area who has helped their club and their community. He has demonstrated, without doubt, his sincere love for his community. As a youth leader, he organized field trips to nearby nursing homes and has played board games with the elderly. He has demonstrated to the elderly residents that there are youth that care about our senior citizens. Lukas is a firm believer that youth must give back to their community so that they can realize that they too can make a difference in this world. Receta del Mes Receta Gorditas De Frijol pg It’s very possible that neighbors might see Rochester Artist, Peggy Martinez, photographing flowers in and around her neighborhood in the town of Chili, where she resides with her husband, Cesar, daughter Rebecca, and two active puppies. They may even invite her to their backyards, exchange flowers and offer a cup of coffee! Peggy Martinez takes hundreds of photos to find the perfect one to serve as a muse for a painting. Flowers aren’t the only subjects she paints, but they are the one subject she consistently goes back to and enjoys. Peggy Martinez, a self- taught artist was born in Rochester, New York. She is one of four children born to Margo and Domingo Martinez. The artist enjoyed drawing at a very early age, but the extra spark occurred at the Rochester Puerto Rican Festival founded by her father. The festival at the time held a children’s art contest in which Peggy entered at the age of 8 years old. When Peggy’s name was called out as the 1st place winner, Peggy thought she had won the lotto! The prize could not be more fitting as it was an Art drawing kit. This ignited the artist with a lifelong love for art. Although Peggy continues to work in banking, she continues to paint for private businesses and has built a website; peggymartinez.net, where she showcases her art. Peggy also participates at several art festivals during the summer, including the Naples Art Festival, Letchworth Art Festival, Cornhill and Clothesline Art Festival and the Allentown Art Festival where she has won awards. During the winter, she teaches oil painting for all level skills at a Different Path Art Gallery. She has been featured on PBS, Democrat & Chronicle as “Woman to Watch”, El Mensajero, Gates-Chili Post and Imagen promoting asthma awareness. Her artwork has been featured in American Art Collector and Still Points Art Quarterly magazine. This Latina is definitely a woman to watch. Her paintings are magnificent and each painting speaks to individuals as it captures their attention. “Es m�s que un trabajo.

What could possibly go wrong? Then her love life takes a turn and Bridget meets a dashing American named Jack, the suitor who is everything Mr. Darcy is not. In an unlikely twist she finds herself pregnant, but with one hitch…she can only be fifty percent sure of the identity of her baby’s father.

Y por si fuera poco, no se sabe de quién es el bebé: porque las posibilidades son, al cincuenta por ciento, o su eterno enamorado Mark o su nuevo interés amoroso Jack.

Se necesita mucha confianza en uno mismo y tener bien claro lo que se quiere. Si vas a estar toda tu vida lamentándote por tu situación actual, por tu pasado, por tus malas decisiones, no vas a salir de ese círculo de negatividad. Llegarán más y más situaciones negativas hacia ti, pues las estás atrayendo con tu pensamiento. Es una calle larga y silenciosa. Ando en tinieblas y tropiezo y caigo y me levanto y piso con pies ciegos las piedras mudas y las hojas secas y alguien detrás de mí también las pisa: si me detengo, se detiene; si corro, corre. Vuelvo el rostro: nadie. Todo está oscuro y sin salida, y doy vueltas en esquinas que dan siempre a la calle donde nadie me espera ni me sigue, donde yo sigo a un hombre que tropieza y se levanta y dice al verme: nadie. Si quieres que tu vida cambie, cambia primero tu línea de pensamiento. Cambia esa negatividad por positivismo. Idealiza lo que deseas que suceda en tu vida. Visualízalo. Entrega tu corazón a ese ideal y ya verás las maravillas que pueden suceder en tu vida. Tú eres lo que piensas. Tú logras lo que te propones. Tú llegas hasta donde quieres. Saca de tu vocabulario las palabras, 'límite', 'negativo', 'miedo', 'no puedo'. No todo será color de rosa en nuestro camino, pero lo que suceda será un proceso no negativo. Al contrario, será beneficioso para nuestro crecimiento tanto mental, intelectual, como también espiritual. Lo que suceda, debe suceder. Lo que tú decidas hacer con tu vida según la línea de pensamiento, debe suceder porque así tú lo deseas. Todo está en ti. Tu mente es poderosa. Actívala y verás los cambios inmediatos en tu vida. Una Flor En El Camino Por: Armando Nervo La muerta resucita cuando a tu amor me asomo, la encuentro en tus miradas inmensas y tranquilas, y en toda tú... Sois ambas tan parecidas como tu rostro, que dos veces se copia en mis pupilas. Es cierto: aquélla amaba la noche radiosa, y tú siempre en las albas tu ensueño complaciste. (Por eso era más lirio, por eso eres más rosa.) Es cierto, aquélla hablaba; tú vives silenciosa, y aquélla era más pálida; pero tú eres más triste. DIEDAD Por: Armando Nervo Como duerme la chispa en el guijarro y la estatua en el barro, en ti duerme la divinidad. Tan sólo en un dolor constante y fuerte al choque, brota de la piedra inerte el relámpago de la deidad. No te quejes, por tanto, del destino, pues lo que en tu interior hay de divino sólo surge merced a él. Soporta, si es posible, sonriendo, la vida que el artista va esculpiendo, el duro choque del cincel. ¿Qué importan para ti las horas malas, si cada hora en tus nacientes alas pone una pluma bella más? Ya verás al cóndor en plena altura, ya verás concluida la escultura, ya verás, alma, ya verás... Tus ojos Por: Octavio Paz Países vastos como el insomnio Pedregales de hueso Otoño sin confines No pierdas tu tiempo intentando comprender el por qué de las cosas, pues NUNCA todo tendrá su explicación. No pierdas tu tiempo lamentándote por algo que te ocurrió, pues NUNCA alguien ha logrado retroceder al pasado y corregir algún error. En lugar de todo lo antes mencionado, deberías aprender a escuchar tu intuición, pues SIEMPRE es acertada cuando abunda en ti la confianza. Deberías aprender a vivir tu vida en lugar de comprenderla, pues SIEMPRE habrá un motivo por el cual vivir. Deberías aprender a no mirar atrás con amargura, pues las historias pasadas en nuestra vida, SIEMPRE acarrean una valiosa enseñanza por peores que hayan sido. Deberías aprender a vivir en tu presente pues SIEMPRE el futuro se verá influenciado por las cosas que hagas hoy y las decisiones que tomes hoy. Deberías aprender a echar a un lado el miedo, pues SIEMPRE habrán malas situaciones en nuestra vida que con el miedo no podrás resolver ni desaparecer. Simplemente vive como si fuera el tu último día de vida. La vida está para vivirla, no para comprenderla. Todo es espacio; vibra la vara de la amapola y una desnuda vuela en el viento lomo de ola. Nada soy yo, cuerpo que flota, luz, oleaje; todo es del viento y el viento es aire siempre de viaje... PIEDRA NATIVA Por: Octavio Paz La luz devasta las alturas Manadas de imperios en derrota El ojo retrocede cercado de reflejos No pierdas tu tiempo No pierdas tu tiempo escuchando opiniones de los demás pues NUNCA todos estarán de acuerdo. Al final de cuentas nadie vivirá en tus zapatos y nadie morirá en tu lugar. No pierdas tu tiempo detenida en el camino de tu vida por temor, pues NUNCA se ha sabido de alguien que haya logrado sus sueños gracias al miedo. Libertadad Bajo Palabra Por: Octavio Paz A Roger Munier Constante aprender Ser humilde precisamente no es decirlo, sino demostrarlo con creces... Por otro lado, analizando el camino de la vida a mi alrededor, me he dado cuenta de que en la vida todos vivimos situaciones difíciles, otras más difíciles que otras, pero hay algo en común en todas... la fuerza de voluntad que las enfrentemos. Para salir de una situación difícil se necesita positivismo y ganas de salir adelante y luchar. La variación aquí será el ímpetu que se le ponga para enfrentar cierta situación, pero el positivismo es el mismo. Es por eso que a las personas que están enfrentando diferentes problemas en su vida, algunos con consuelo, otros sin ninguno, pues les digo que toda situación por más difícil que sea es pasajera y debemos llenarnos de valentía y sobrellevarla con calma. Todo pasará... son situaciones que por alguna razón debemos afrontar y por peor que sea la situación tiene su propósito. Mucha fe, fortaleza y mirando hacia adelante con la frente bien en alto. Todo pasará. Todo es un constante aprender, pues no hay nadie que haya vivido lo suficiente para saberlo todo en la vida, sólo hay que vivir, absorber y continuar hasta que nos llegue el turno de irnos. No pierdas tu tiempo preocupándote por lo que pueda pasar en tu futuro, pues NUNCA alguien ha logrado adelantarse y saber lo que le sucederá. Tus ojos son la patria del relámpago y de la lágrima, silencio que habla, tempestades sin viento, mar sin olas, pájaros presos, doradas fieras adormecidas, topacios impíos como la verdad, otoño en un claro del bosque en donde la luz canta en el hombro de un árbol y son pájaros todas las hojas, playa que la mañana encuentra constelada de ojos, cesta de frutos de fuego, mentira que alimenta, espejos de este mundo, puertas del más allá, pulsación tranquila del mar a mediodía, absoluto que parpadea, páramo. Viento Cantan las hojas, bailan las peras en el peral; gira la rosa, rosa del viento, no del rosal. Nubes y nubes flotan dormidas, algas del aire; todo el espacio gira con ellas, fuerza de nadie.

PANORAMA HISPANO ׀September/Septiembre 2016 ׀BUFFALO • DUNKIRK • ROCHESTER • ERIE Salud Horoscopo Cruisin’ for a Cure Car Show at Roswell Park Targets Prostate Cancer Disparities pg 17 By Terry Alford Not all prostate cancers need to be treated. Many of these cancers are slow-growing, nonaggressive tumors that a man can safely live with for years, with good quality of life. But prostate cancers can be life-threatening, and some men are more likely to develop the disease because of their ethnicity or family history. Too many men are underinformed about their own risk status, and many don’t have good access to health care. For these reasons, a group I work closely with, MANUP Buffalo, or Men Allied for the Need to Understand Prostate Cancer, began partnering with Roswell Park Cancer Institute to help educate Western New Yorkers about prostate cancer risk and promote early detection. MANUP was founded by prostate cancer survivors motivated by their personal experiences and a desire to help others make informed decisions about their health. On Saturday, Sept. 24, MANUP Buffalo will hold its 6th annual Cruisin’ for a Cure car show and prostate cancer screening event at Roswell Park. The event, presented by West Herr Automotive Group, will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with screening appointments available for eligible men between the hours of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. This is a fun, family-friendly event, but it’s also a great opportunity to take charge of your health and learn about your own personal risk factors. “This great event informs men most at risk for this disease about the importance of talking to their personal physicians about early detection and knowing the risk factors associated with prostate cancer,” says prostate cancer survivor Richard Satterwhite, MANUP Buffalo President. Prostate cancer has a disproportional impact on African-American men, who have the highest rate of prostate cancer in the world, and are more likely to get more aggressive forms of the disease. It’s also the most-diagnosed cancer in Hispanic men in the U.S. Earlier detection can help overcome these disparities, so screening to detect these cancers while they’re at early stages is critical. Roswell Park follows the guidelines of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), which recommends initial or “baseline” PSA screening at age 50 for men at normal risk of developing the disease, and beginning as early as age 40 for those at high risk — a group that includes all African-American men and any man with two close male relatives (father or brother) who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. All men who attend the Cruisin’ for a Cure car show will be offered an educational overview about prostate cancer and, if eligible, will have the opportunity to receive free prostate screening. The screening process only takes a few minutes, and involves a conversation about risk and early detection, physical examination of the prostate and a PSA blood test, all offered by Roswell Park experts.

But as the country's central bankers converge for their annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming this week, they are under increasing pressure to reform their own system and goals to better reflect the diversity of America and its incomes. At this year's flagship economic policy conference, policymakers will confered not only with their counterparts from around the world but also host a meeting on Thursday with a group calling for a radical overhaul of the Fed. Still, in recent years Latinos have grown more optimistic about the future of their personal finances, according to Pew Research Center’s 2015 National Survey of Latinos. Last year, eight-in-ten Latinos (81%) said they expect their family’s financial situation to improve a lot or some in the next year, up from 67% who said the same in December 2011. (Among the U.S. public, our most recent survey found the share has increased more modestly, from 56% in June 2011 to 66% in June 2016.) Latinos also continue to be more optimistic than other groups about the future of the nation’s economy. In the June 2016 survey, 44% of Latinos said they expect economic conditions in the U.S. to be better a year from now, compared with 35% of blacks and 24% of whites. Fed Up, a network of community organizations and labor unions that wants a more diverse, transparent and income-inequality aware central bank, will meet with Kansas City Fed President Esther George. Poverty-related needs of Americans rose in 2016 It may be one reason why the organizers changed the dress code for the evening, usually a suited and booted affair, to casual attire. The report by the Human Needs Index (HNI) is a collaboration between Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy and the Salvation Army. Based on the social services provided across the U.S. by the Salvation Army, HNI takes into consideration seven needs: meals, groceries, clothing, furniture and assistance provided with housing, medical and energy bills. So far three other Fed policymakers, New York's William Dudley, Cleveland's Loretta Mester and Boston's Eric Rosengren, are also scheduled to show up. A Fed spokesman said Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard from the Washingtonbased Board of Governors also plans to attend the meeting. The activists will look to build on their proposals, put forward in conjunction with former top Fed policy adviser Andrew Levin, to make the Fed's 12 regional banks government entities. The Fed is the world's only major central bank that is not fully public. POWERFUL ALLIES The group has recently been joined by powerful allies in Congress in forcing racial, gender and income inequality up the Fed's agenda. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has come out in favor of restricting the financial world's influence on regional Fed boards. In May, 127 U.S. lawmakers including Senator Elizabeth Warren and former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders sent a letter to Fed Chair Janet Yellen urging more diversity among its ranks in order to "reflect and represent the interests of our diverse country." A new report shows that the poverty-related needs of the American people increased in 2015-2016 - the first spike in the index since 2012. “It’s hard to verify through the data what is causing the uptick (in 2015-16) but from other studies and anecdotal information, one of the issues seem to be affordable housing and landlords increasing the rent with improvement in economy,” said Lt. Col. Ron Busroe, national community relations and development secretary at the Salvation Army. This year's increase is a reverse in the trend of declining needs seen from 2012 to 2014, according to the latest figures of Human Needs Index. HNI scale begins at zero, the lowest level of need. In the past decade, the highest HNI recorded was 3.00 in 2012, which declined to 2.57 in 2013 and 1.97 in 2014. For 2015, the index rose back to 2.28. According to Una Osili, director of research at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, the declining HNI over the past few years show that the economy is recovering from the recession and 2015 is part of the process. “We don’t want to make too big a deal out of 2015 because it sits within the larger recovery being quite slow,” Osili said. “It suggests the lingering effects of the recession.” Currently 11 of the 12 regional Fed presidents are white, 10 are male, and none are black or Latino. At the Board level, the highest echelons of the Fed, Yellen is the first woman chair in the central bank's 103-year history. HNI is calculated both at the national level as well as the state level. In 2015, North Dakota, Nevada and Pennsylvania topped the list of states with highest needs, while Arkansas, Alabama and Colorado recorded the highest increase in need since 2014. There are indications that the steady drumbeat of pressure is having some effect on areas on which the Fed does have some control. According to Busroe, the spike in North Dakota is due to the decline of oil prices and cut backs in jobs. In other states, such as Arkansas and Alabama, natural disasters have caused a jump in needs, he said. "I believe that diversity is extremely important in all parts of the Federal Reserve," Yellen told Congress in June under sustained scrutiny from lawmakers about the Fed's performance. Minorities now make up 24 percent of regional Fed bank boards, up from 16 percent in 2010, while 46 percent of all directors are either non-white or a woman. Yellen, who has not been shy in speaking on income inequality, has also noted that rising inequality could curb U.S. economic growth. And for a Fed not used to addressing distributional issues associated with monetary policy, such considerations are now seeping into policy discussions. "The unemployment rate for African Americans and for Hispanics stayed above the rate for whites..." the Fed noted in minutes released last week from its policy meeting in July. Or as Yellen put it to Congress in June, "We're certainly very focused on...wanting to promote stronger job markets with gains to all groups." The economy is a top issue for Latinos, and they’re more upbeat about it The economy is at the forefront of Hispanic voters’ minds in this presidential election year, with 86% saying the economy is very important to their vote, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey. But while Hispanics are on the same page with the overall population about the importance of the economy, they are more positive about its condition and their family’s finances than some other racial and ethnic groups. A third (33%) of Hispanics rate the economic conditions in the country today as excellent or good, a share equal to that among blacks but higher than that among whites (25%), according to the June survey. In addition, Hispanics are less likely than others to say their family’s income is falling behind the cost of living – 45% say so, compared with 55% of whites and 56% of blacks who say the same. Despite this economic optimism, about half (52%) of Latinos say jobs are difficult to find in their community, a share similar to blacks and whites. At the same time, the unemployment rate for Latinos has improved over the past year, standing at 5.8% in the second quarter of 2016, down from 6.7% a year ago. However, it remains above the 4.7% national average for non-Hispanics. Hispanics lag the U.S. public on a variety of other economic measures. For example, Hispanics had a median household income of $42,500 in 2014, compared with $53,700 for all households. Hispanics had a 23.6% poverty rate in 2014, compared with 14.8% among all households, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Government and national statistics related to poverty take a long time to be produced and HNI is the only real time data that regularly provides up-to-date monthly snapshots of poverty-related needs, Busroe added. Osili said the school plans to continue the research and expand it to include the factors contributing to the changes in HNI. “We need to look into what’s driving them. Most people are quite excited and impressed by the data but they also want to understand what’s going on in their own community or county,” she said. “The goal is to educate and inform those working with poverty, whether other non-profits, policy makers or leaders.” VISITENOS EN EL INTERNET - VISIT US ONLINE www.PanoramaHispanoNews.com Interactivo•Actualizado • Videos•Imagenes•Links Associate Vice President for Development Buffalo State, State University of New York, seeks candidates for the position of Associate Vice President for Development.

La iniciativa ha partido de una ciudadana y ha sido recogida por el representante José Aponte Hernández, quien propone denominar con el nombre de Mónica Puig Marchán el tramo de la avenida Juan Ponce de León que pasa frente al Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot. "Mónica representa un orgullo y un ejemplo para Puerto Rico, no solo por hacer historia al ganarse la medalla de oro, sino también por su humildad, determinación y perseverancia, que la llevaron a conquistar el corazón y la admiración de todos", dijo Aponte en un comunicado. La deportista, que nació en Hato Rey el 27 de septiembre de 1993, es la primera medallista de oro olímpico de Puerto Rico y la primera tenista hispana en obtener una medalla de oro en unas Olimpiadas tras ganar en el torneo individual femenino de Río 2016. "Mónica vistió de oro a Puerto Rico dando el ejemplo que cuando se quiere, cuando hay disposición y entrega, se consigue lo mejor", añadió el legislador, tras dar las "gracias" a la tenista por "darle a Puerto Rico un segundo aire y por hacer historia". El pasado sábado, cientos de personas recibieron en el aeropuerto a Puig, incluido el propio gobernador de Puerto Rico, Alejandro García Padilla, que quiso dar personalmente la bienvenida a la tenista, toda una heroína en la isla, donde hasta ahora ningún deportistas había conseguido un oro en unos olímpicos. Puig está situada en la posición número 34 de la Asociación Mundial de Tenis de Mujeres (WTA). Destituciones por desempeño de jueces de boxeo en Río 2016 RIO DE JANEIRO — La Asociación Internacional de Boxeo destituyó el jueves a su director ejecutivo y supervisor de la justa olímpica Karim Bouzidi en medio de críticas al desempeño de los jueces en Río 2016. La AIBA dijo que no había despedido a Buzidi sino que le daría otras funciones, pero no especificó cuáles. Boudizi era director ejecutivo desde hacía 15 meses y estaba a cargo del boxeo olímpico. Las últimas cuatro jornadas de la justa las supervisará Franco Falcinelli, vicepresidente de la junta ejecutiva y presidente de la Confederación Europea de Boxeo. El organismo rector del boxeo destituyó el miércoles a varios árbitros y jueces tras llegar a la conclusión de que "unas pocas" peleas no habían sido juzgadas bien. La AIBA se abstuvo de identificar a esos jueces "Las últimas medidas que hemos tomado ponen de manifiesto que la AIBA no le huye a sus responsabilidades y seguirá garantizando la transparencia en el deporte", dijo el organismo en un comunicado. "Es de vital importancia proteger el deporte y su comunidad (de árbitros y jueces), cuya integridad es puesta en duda constantemente". El boxeo olímpico abandonó el viejo sistema que asignaba puntos a cada golpe conectado e instauró el sistema que se usa en el profesionalismo, en el que cada juez decide subjetivamente quién ganó cada asalto. El torneo empezó sin problemas, pero esta semana hubo dos fallos muy cuestionados que favorecieron a boxeadores rusos. pg 21 Ha pasado muy poco tiempo desde que una falsa salida lo dejó fuera de la final en los Juegos Olímpicos de Río de Janeiro, y su proceso de sanación apenas comienza. “Tengo estos dos compromisos y voy porque ya compré el pasaje, pero realmente mi objetivo eran las Olimpiadas”, reconoció el vallista en un aparte con este medio, previo al recibimiento que le hizo hoy su pueblo de Ponce, el cual comenzó con una caravana desde Juana Díaz y terminó con una fiesta en la Plaza Las Delicias de la Perla del Sur. Culson marcha tercero en la Liga Diamante con 22 puntos, detrás de los estadounidenses Kerron Clement y Michael Tinsley, que acumulan 25 y 24 puntos, respectivamente. Clement, de paso, fue el ganador del oro en Río. “La Liga Diamante la estaba tomando como entrenamiento, no estaba buscando puntos sino mejorar técnicamente en las Olimpiadas. En esas competencias tuve altas y bajas, y era porque estaba buscando mi patrón de carrera, y ya estaba perfecta para las Olimpiadas”, explicó. ¿Te sentías listo? “Sí. En la primera eliminatoria (en Río) mejoré la marca de la temporada y en la semifinal también. En la final, obviamente, iba a mejorar mi marca e iba a salir a hacer la carrera que acostumbro a hacer, no la de cerrar duro, sino la de salir agresivo”, teorizó. El periodo de descanso que sucederá a esas carreras de la Asociación Internacional de Federaciones de Atletismo (IAAF, en inglés) le servirá para pensar si continúa activo en las pistas y si se da la oportunidad de un nuevo ciclo olímpico. “Quiero analizar en mis vacaciones qué va a pasar conmigo”, señaló el corredor de 32 años de edad. Vital la solidaridad del pueblo Culson no ha enfrentado solo este duro proceso. Su esposa, su madre y su hija, inicialmente a la distancia y desde este domingo en persona, le dieron soporte. Su equipo de trabajo, el Comité Olímpico de Puerto Rico, la delegación puertorriqueña en Brasil y especialmente el País también han estado ahí para él, cargándolo con mensajes de aliento y exhortaciones de que no se quite. “No me esperaba esa avalancha de mensajes positivos. Sabes que los puertorriqueños somos bien exigentes y si fallamos nos queman, pero de verdad fue un apoyo bien grande. No solamente en las cosas buenas nos unimos, sino que en las cosas no tan positivas también. Eso es algo que nos faltaba como pueblo para salir hacia adelante”, reflexionó. Su esposa Keishla Merced fue a la primera que llamó aquella tarde del jueves, de camino a la Villa Olímpica. Luego pidió estar solo. Y al cabo de varias horas habló con su entrenador Héctor ‘Kno” Amill, antes de llamar a su hija Yari. Ese intercambio fue difícil porque la niña no entendía lo que había ocurrido, pero Culson se llenó de fuerza para, aun en medio de su dolor, calmarla. “Yo le expliqué que esto pasa en la vida, que aprenda que la vida no es solo ganar y ganar. Le dije que llegué lejos a las Olimpiadas, que quería ganar y no pude lograrlo, y que quiero que cuando le pase algo en la escuela, un examen donde saque mal promedio, que vuelva a prepararse y lo supere. Que en la vida siempre va a haber caídas y uno se tiene que levantar”, rememoró. Después fue que se conectó a las redes sociales, donde estuvo bien activo durante su estadía en Río, y se topó con una avalancha de cariño y buenos deseos. “Leí un sinnúmero de mensajes de apoyo y aliento, vídeos de las escuelas, artistas, figuras que se han solidarizado conmigo y me empezaba a animar, pero aunque veía que tenía mucho apoyo me decía que no logré mi objetivo, que era estar en esa carrera, en ese podio”, expresó. En uno de ellos, Evgeny Tishchenko ganó la medalla de oro de los pesos pesados al vencer por puntos al kazajo Vassiliy Levit, que fue más agresivo e impresionó mejor a lo largo del combate. En ese vaivén de emociones, donde la empatía ha sido aliciente para su frustración, Culson tiene a su progenitora, Judith Pérez, quien le pide que siga adelante con su carrera. En otro, Vladimir Nikitin fue declarado vencedor de una pelea de cuartos de final con el irlandés Michael Conlan, campeón mundial de peso gallo, a pesar de que sufrió tremendo castigo y terminó ensangrentado. Conlan denunció que le habían robado la pelea. “Mami me dijo que no me quitara, que lo que sucedió es un propósito de Dios para mi vida, que lo cogiera con calma y que siga hacia adelante, que no me rindiera”, compartió el atleta. Nikitin quedó tan maltrecho que no se le permitió combatir en las semifinales el jueves. El estadounidense Shakur Stevenson avanzó así sin pelear a la final, en la que se fajará con el cubano Robeisy Ramírez. En la última semana hubo varios boxeadores que se quejaron de los jueces, lo que hizo que la AIBA tomase cartas en el asunto. "Siento como si estuviésemos de nuevo en 1988, cuando peleé en los juegos de Seúl y a Roy Jones le robaron en la final", dijo el técnico de Estados Unidos Billy Walsh. "Desde entonces no veía nada tan malo como aquí. Tal vez necesiten volver a la computadora", agregó, aludiendo al sistema que otorga puntos por cada golpe, los cuales son registrados electrónicamente. Javier Culson hará dos carreras más este año “por cumplir” Ponce - Javier Culson regresará a la pista dos veces en lo que queda de 2016 para correr en la Liga Diamante, pero no será hasta después, cuando tome vacaciones, que decidirá su futuro deportivo. El atleta ponceño confirmó hoy que se presentará al evento de los 400 metros con vallas en París el 27 de agosto y en Zurich el 1 de septiembre, pero no para sumar puntos que lo lleven a optar por el campeonato de esta liga por tercera ocasión en su carrera, sino “para cumplir”. pg 22 PANORAMA HISPANO ׀September/Septiembre 2016 ׀BUFFALO • DUNKIRK • ROCHESTER • ERIE Editorial/Letters Un Presidente Pequeño Miami. Muy cerca de aquí, en un cuarto piso, huele a corrupción. Otra vez se refuerza la percepción de que la familia presidencial mexicana se beneficia de su posición. La historia se repite. Y todo comenzó con reporteros haciendo su trabajo. Un reportaje de José Luis Montenegro y Julio Roa de The Guardian asegura que el empresario mexicano, Ricardo Pierdant, le presta su apartamento en Key Biscayne a la familia presidencial. El apartamento en cuestión -el número 404 del Ocean Tower Onequeda exactamente arriba del número 304 que la primera dama, Angélica Rivera, compró en el 2005. Ambos condominios, según el reportaje, se administran como si fuera uno solo y comparten el mismo número de teléfono. Pero hay más. Pierdant, a través de la compañía Biscayne Ocean Holdings, pagó $ 29,703 dólares de impuestos prediales del año 2013 del apartamento de Rivera (#304), dice The Guardian. En ese momento Peña Nieto ya era presidente de México. (Aquí está el reportaje del diario inglés http://bit.ly/2bbK4Kx ) El periodista Gerardo Reyes de Univision Investiga reporta que Ricardo Pierdant y Peña Nieto se conocen hace mucho -antes, incluso, de su matrimonio con Angélica Rivera. Ellos fueron compañeros en la Universidad Panamericana. Peña Nieto no puede decir que no sabía del apartamento. (Aquí está el reporte de Reyes http://bit.ly/2bgb0bG ). ¿Qué esperaba ganar el empresario a cambio de prestar su propiedad de dos millones de dólares y pagar impuestos de la primera dama? No lo sabemos. Pero el diario británico asegura que la empresa de Pierdant (Grupo Pierdant) es un “contratista potencial” para construir puertos y “se espera que concurse para lucrativos contratos gubernamentales.” La presidencia de México, a través de un comunicado, dijo que The Guardian “faltó a la verdad” y que se trata de una “especulación” decir que Pierdant es un contratista potencial. Pero no negó lo esencial del reportaje. Es muy preocupante que un empresario, con operaciones aquí y en México, pague impuestos de la familia Peña Rivera y les preste un departamento de lujo. Más allá del problema de percepción, se trata de un gravísimo error de juicio. ¿Quién asesora al presidente de México sobre cuestiones de imagen y corrupción? Menos mal que, en este caso, el gobierno no podrá presionar para que despidan a los reporteros de The Guardian (como hicieron antes con Carmen Aristegui y su equipo). Pero lo más lamentable es que el presidente y su esposa no aprenden. El ejemplo que dan es fatal. ¿Qué pasaría si todos los funcionarios públicos aceptaran favores como el presidente y su esposa? Además, hay una cuestión legal. ¿Violaron el presidente y su esposa la Ley Federal de Responsabilidades de Servidores Públicos? En el artículo 88 la ley prohíbe recibir dinero, donaciones o servicios. Y en el artículo 89 establece que un funcionario público -como el presidente- debe informar de “obsequios, donativos o beneficios en general”. ¿Lo hizo? Por eso hay que investigar. Pero es poco probable que el nuevo Sistema Nacional Anticorrupción se estrene con el presidente. Hace poco Peña Nieto pidió perdón por la llamada Casa Blanca mexicana, valuada en siete millones de dólares, y que su esposa compró a un importante contratista del gobierno. Realizaron una falsa investigación oficial -encargada a un subalterno- y dijeron no haber violado la ley. Pero el golpe a su reputación fue terrible. O eso creíamos. Después de pedir perdón, la pareja presidencial debió haber arreglado todos sus asuntos y evitar otro conflicto ético. No fue así. Luego del escándalo de la Casa Blanca, Rivera fue obligada a regresar la propiedad. Tras este nuevo escándalo lo menos que pueden hacer ella y su esposo es desalojar el departamento que les prestaron en Key Biscayne y reembolsar los impuestos. Pero ya me sé el cuento. Dirán que no hay nada ilegal en lo que hicieron y la vida seguirá igual. Lo más triste es que uno de los presidentes más jóvenes que ha tenido México será recordado, no por grandes obras o ideas, sino por la frivolidad de tratar de beneficiar a su familia con otra casa y otro apartamento. Qué presidente tan pequeño. No es el líder que necesitaba México en estos momentos. Por Jorge Ramos Avalos. We Urgently Need to Assume the Economic Impact of the Exodus The figures provided in the study conducted by economists from the New York Federal Reserve Bank indicate that around 300,000 people have left Puerto Rico The figures provided in the study conducted by four economists from the New York Federal Reserve Bank indicate that around 300,000 people have left Puerto Rico in the last five years, suggesting a demographic debacle that requires an urgent solution and will have to be taken into account when the time comes to promote economic changes. The findings made by the Reserve’s economists—who can’t be attributed with having local partisan political motivations nor any interest other than compiling the most accurate figures possible, as well as recreating the average emigrant’s educational and social profile—suggest that the Island has been losing around 164 residents a day since 2010. The motivation behind this research is based on the damage that a stampede like this causes the originating country—in this case Puerto Rico,—irreversibly undermining its economic activity, and henceforth destabilizing an entire system of financial and social exchange. We must also consider that the Reserve’s economists have studied this phenomenon because this mass emigration is heading to the United States and, therein, to very specific places where there is already a settled diaspora and it’s becoming noticeably overloaded. The relocation of tens of thousands of Puerto Ricans represents a challenge for some cities and counties, which must make space in areas like education, security, public health, and transportation. Migratory processes are not individual problems, and they are not solved by demanding answers from only one side. An understanding of this can be furthered by the report of these four experts, who seem to suggest—even though their comments don’t necessarily represent their own institution’s point of view—that whoever is in charge of the Island’s public finances will have to assume policies and commitments that will help mitigate the emigration to be able to overcome the budgetary deficit. These results are a tool the Oversight Board will have available when carrying out its task of restructuring Puerto Rico’s debt and public finances. The report also debunks the myth of Puerto Rico’s emigration being mostly made up of professionals and technicians searching for better jobs and quality of life. On the contrary, it notes that it is actually the people with less academic preparation that are leaving in droves. This vision is supplemented by the report from the National Council of La Raza published three weeks ago, which reveals that almost a third of the 27,000 Puerto Ricans that have moved to Florida in the last year are still unemployed. The data shows the effect the Island’s fiscal crisis has had on individual economies, and points to the urgent need to propel Puerto Rico’s economy to stop the exodus. This has specific impacts both here and there. Therefore, it is normal that the financial planners of a responsible entity like the New York Federal Reserve Bank have raised a flag and suggested taking this new data into account when designing policies to balance the budget, revitalize the economy, and restructure the debt. They have created, in that aspect, an important frame of reference for the Oversight Board and the policies that they will have to put into place. Lastly, we must emphasize the human aspect of the migratory phenomenon, and how necessary it is for the government and institutions in general to educate the population about the consequences of taking a step like this, as well as the need to chart a route in a prudent and sensible manner before embarking on a new life outside Puerto Rico. The Reserve economists have given us good material to set the path towards the restoration of Puerto Rico.
