Immigration writing
contest recognizes
winning students
By Lee Hurtado
Since 2004, the law firm
of De Mott, McChesney,
Curtright and Armendariz
(DMCA) has facilitated the San
Antonio chapter of Celebrate
America, a national writing
contest for fifth-grade students
sponsored by the American
Immigration Council.
Each year, the contest has
continued to grow, and for
the 2015-2016 school year,
the program received nearly
100 entries.
The contest – centered on
the theme “Why I Am Glad
America Is A Nation of Immigrants” - has allowed DMCA
to share the message of immigration with new generations
of students.
“Our attorneys love the opportunity to speak with students around San Antonio
about the importance of immigration,” says partner Lance
Curtright. “We’re honored to
participate in the contest and
www.LaPrensaSA.com
help carry it forward.”
This year’s entries were
judged by a panel representing
education and media across
San Antonio, including Christian Clark, senior program
coordinator at the Institute of
Texan Cultures; Steve Spriester, anchor at KSAT 12; Amy
Thomas, attorney at DMCA;
and Nina Duran, publisher of
La Prensa. After reviewing the
entries, they chose their top
students for 2015-2016.
In the private school category, Blessed Sacrament
Catholic School (a perennial
participant in the program)
produced three winning entries from Martin Spears (first
place), Fisher Kirby (second
place) and Chiara Chavez
(third place).
For public schools, Aspen
Sollars, from Steubing Ranch
Elementary School, placed
first. Mia Girela, from Bonham
Academy, placed second, and
Malena Earls, also from Steubing Ranch Elementary, placed

It feels like summer in San
Antonio and what better way
to celebrate than to explore the
city with the help of our main
public transit system.
VIA Metropolitan Transit
introduced on Monday morning their new service line,
VIVA, which will allow riders
to visit places like the DoSeum to make their summer
more entertaining. At hand to
celebrate the milestone were
President/CEO of VIA Jeffrey
C. Arndt, Bexar County Judge
Nelson Wolff, DoSeum CEO
Vanessa Lacoss Hurd and District 3 Councilwoman Rebecca
Viagran.
The routes will connect riders from historical places to
art, dining and entertainment
spots to learn more about
what makes the city stand out
from other popular locations
in the country. In order to
section the city correctly, the
public transit organized three
distinct routes: VIVA culture
(route 11), VIVA missions
(route 40) and VIVA centro
(route 301).
VIVA culture will travel from
Southtown to the McNay Museum of Art all around South
Broadway Street. The VIVA
missions route will cover historical routes including the
San Antonio Missions World
Heritage Site, from the Alamo
to Mission San Juan. The VIVA
centro will travel into the core
of San Antonio, from the Centro Plaza to Sunset Station.
“This is indeed a great cultured corridor that goes from
the South Side of San Antonio
all the way to the museum...
You cannot build a city that
gives people the choice of
urban life without a first-class
transit system,” said Judge
Wolff. “Creating VIVA is helping us build the urban life here

HEALTH
Por qué los niños latinos deben aprender a nadar
NAPSM. De acuerdo con
la Swimming Foundation
(Fundación de la Natación),
el 60 por ciento de los niños
latinos no sabe nadar. Este es
un problema serio porque el
ahogo es la principal causa de
muerte accidental en niños de
5 a 14 años de edad. Pero se
puede prevenir.
Para ayudar, la YMCA creó
el programa Safety Around
Water (Seguridad cerca del
agua) para enseñar a los niños la importancia de sentirse
seguros en el agua y enseñar
además a los padres la magnitud de esta destreza. Es más,
la Y otorga más de 18,000
becas para tomar clases de natación gratuitas a los niños en
comunidades de alto riesgo.
Después de todo, el concepto de clases de natación
en grupo se inventó en la Y
en 1909. Ahora, en piscinas
de todo el país, la Y enseña a
más de un millón de niños de
todos los orígenes destrezas
incalculables para nadar bien
y con seguridad.
Los niños sabrán cómo
llegar a la superficie del agua
cuando estén sumergidos,
llegar al borde de la piscina
de forma segura, salir de
cualquier espacio con agua
y responder ante situaciones
inesperadas dentro del agua.
“Cada año, la Y enseña a
más de 1 millón de niños de
todos los orígenes destrezas
invaluables para nadar con
seguridad. Este año, estamos
comprometidos a enfrentar
las horribles estadísticas de
ahogos fatales de niños ofreciendo clases gratuitas de
natación a más de 18,000
niños en comunidades marginadas”, dijo Kevin Washington, presidente y CEO de
Prevention & Control
Y-USA.
“Nuestra misión es la de
ayudar a atenuar los factores
socio-culturales que inhiben
a la juventud de hoy, especialmente a la gente de color
en comunidades urbanas;
jóvenes inhibidos de tomar
clases que potencialmente
les salvarían la vida y permanecer seguros en el agua y
cerca del agua”.
Sugerencias de seguridad
en el agua
Si usted sabe cómo permanecer seguro dentro y
cerca del agua, la natación
podría ser una fuente de
diversión y ejercicio de por
vida. Aquí le damos seis
pasos hacia la seguridad en
el agua:
1. Nunca nade solo. Nade
solamente donde haya un
guardavidas.
2. Supervise a los niños
cuando estén en el agua. Ya
sea en el baño o en el océano,
manténgase al alcance del
brazo en todo momento.
3. No contenga la respiración. Los niños no deben
contener la respiración por
largo tiempo mientras nadan.
Esto puede causar ahogo y
otros efectos secundarios
severos.
4. Utilice un chaleco salvavidas. Los inexpertos o los
que no saben nadar deben
utilizar un chaleco salvavidas
aprobado por el Servicio de
Guardacostas.
5. No salte al agua para salvar a alguien que está bregando en aguas profundas. Aún
si usted es un gran nadador,
alguien en pánico puede sobreponerse, tirándolo bajo el
agua. El programa Seguridad
Cerca del Agua de la Y enseña
el concepto de “alcanzar y
tirar”, que consiste en usar un
objeto largo para alcanzar al
nadador, así usted lo podrá
tirar a un lugar seguro.
6. Inscríbase en clases de seguridad en el agua. Tal como
se enseña a los niños a mirar
a ambos lados antes de cruzar
la calle, hacerlos participar en
clases de natación les brinda
una importante destreza de
por vida. El programa Seguridad Cerca del Agua de la
Y enseña a los niños las aptitudes fundamentales sobre
la seguridad y lo que deben
hacer si se encuentran en el
agua inesperadamente.

Alzheimer’s disease: shadowing or following
When the person with dementia
follows keeps the caregiver in view
at all times, he or she is said to be
“shadowing.” Shadowing can lead
caregivers to feel overwhelmed by
the unrelenting neediness of the
person with dementia.
• As with other behaviors related to dementia, shadowing is a
behavior that cannot be controlled
or eliminated. Attempting to get
rid of the behavior will lead to
increased frustration for everyone
involved.
• However, it can help to remember that shadowing is being
done for a reason, and understanding the underlying issues
can help caregivers develop ways
of interacting that can reduce behavior and/or its impact.
• Here are some steps written
for caregivers that can help:
Understand that it is the disease, not the person, driving
this behavior.
• For someone living with Alzheimer’s disease in the middle
stages, the world is an unfamiliar
place, full of confusion and creating insecurity. Caregivers are a
safe connection for the person in
the midst of the unknown. Regardless of the trigger, the person
is following the caregiver seeking
safety. It’s important to provide
reassurance, both verbally and
physically. Get close and touch the
person if that tends to be calming,
and repeat that everything is OK,
that you are both safe, etc.
Look for pain or illness first.
• Shadowing may occur or escalate if the person with dementia
is in pain or sick, but is unable to
talk about it directly.
• Check to see if the person is
experiencing:
• Physical pain or discomfort.
• Physical illness or an underlying medical problem.
• Trouble with eyesight or
hearing.
• Even if the underlying issues
do not seem to be related to pain
or illness, there may be a medical
issue that you cannot see, such
as a urinary tract infection. Begin
by checking in with the person’s
doctor first.
• Contact the doctor and get
advice about next steps to take.
• Ask about what you need to
do immediately for the person to
assist with the medical situation.
If pain is not the primary
issue, explore the person’s
shadowing patterns to learn
the triggers and underlying
issues.
• Examine the behavior to determine triggers. Do certain people,
surroundings, or times of day
lead to the start or an escalation
of shadowing?
• How long does the behavior
last?
• What seems to calm the
person?
Issues underlying shadowing may include:
• Depression or anxiety.
• Fear, including fear of being
alone.
• Boredom.
• Feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or upset due to failure when
attempting a task.
• Grief or loss.
• Changes in routine.
• Picking up on the feelings of
others.
Explore behavioral or psychological interventions.
• Be sure that you look at your
own feelings first. Try to remain
calm and respond gently.
• Speak reassuringly to the person, letting him or her know that
you are together and safe. Use the
same words or phrases repeatedly
to help the person connect with
what is being said.
• Suggest doing something different together to help the person’s
energy shift from shadowing to
doing an activity together. Even
giving the person some objects to
fiddle with can help refocus the
person.
• Play some favorite music or
a favorite movie for the person.
• If person seems afraid to be left
alone, you can try having him/her
hold a familiar jacket or sweater of
yours. This may help person feel
secure when you are out of sight.
• Once the person is settled, try
setting a timer and hand it to the
person, letting him or her know
that you will be back when the
timer goes off.
Tips to avoid trigger situations in the future.
• Be sure the person is getting
enough exercise during the early
hours of the day.
• As difficult as it may be, make
sure you take time for yourself
away from the person with dementia. This will help the person
get accustomed to being alone
periodically. Be sure to ask others
for help and accept help when it
is offered.
• Offer meaningful activities
for the person that will keep him
or her occupied, such as folding
laundry or working on a puzzle.
• Provide snacks of cereal or
gum to allow the person to be
occupied. Be sure that what you
choose to offer does not pose a
choking hazard.
• Have a way to escape when
needed, even if only for a short
time. Have someone on hand —
a neighbor or relative to help out
briefly — or a room in the house
to escape to. For example, to
ensure the caregiver’s bathroom
privacy, install a childproof doorknob on the door or engage the
person in a favorite activity to keep
him/her occupied.

Fitness enthusiasts will also benefit from the new enhancements.
The park will feature a forty-yard
sprint timer (one of the first of the
nation), zip line, four pull-up bars,
traveling rings, multi-exercise station and 5K running/walking trail

The park expansion efforts doubled the size of the park from 243
acres through a City purchase of an
additional 262 acres as part of the
2012-2017 City Bond Program.
The new improvements for
Pearsall Park were funded with
over 7.5 million from the 20122017 City Bond Program, Proposition 2-2010 Parks and Development and Expansion Project. Additional funding included $300,000

Las Sparks opacaron a Stars
que les falló la defensiva
Por José I. Franco
[email protected]
La quinteta angelina Sparks,
dirigida por el entrenador
en jefe Brian Agler, quien de
2005 al 2007 fue asistente de
entrenador de Silver Stars de
San Antonio (ahora Stars), en
plan grande y con lo mejor de
su baloncesto consumaron un
par de victorias consecutivas
ante San Antonio.
De este forma se mantienen
de forma invicta con 7 victorias
en el rol regular de la temporada 2016 WNBA, que se
encuentra celebrando 20 años
de operar el baloncesto femenil
profesional.
En su sede del Staples Center
(Los Ángeles) durante su prime­
ra cita ante Stars el jueves 2 de
junio, las Sparks se adjudicaron
la victoria con pizarra de 68 a
61 puntos. Sobresalió la estrategia de Agler ante su ex entrenador en jefe, Dan Hughes, quien
ha venido remando contra la
corriente en los seis partidos
que ha jugado en la presente
campaña en la que solo tiene
una victoria local, que fue por
la mínima diferencia ante Sky
de Chicago (79-78).
De acuerdo al timonel
Hughes, en Los Ángeles la
guardia suplente Chelsea Gray,
con sus encestes y asistencias,
les hizo bastante daño en el
marcador, repitiendo la dosis
en el segundo partido jugado
en San Antonio (AT&T Center)
el pasado sábado 4 de junio,
encuentro que en el primer
tiempo estuvo parejo ya que
ambas quintetas encestaron
11 unidades cada una. En el
segundo periodo Sparks doblegaron a Stars con marcador de
22 a 15, yéndose al descanso
con pizarra de 33 a 26.
Stars, capitaneadas por la
guardia estelar Kayla McBride,
tuvieron dificultades para detener a la capitana rival la
central Candace Parker, quien
estuvo encestando y asistiendo
a sus compañeras durante
31:11 minutos de acción.
Sparks en el tercer cuarto
encestaron 20 puntos por 21
de Stars, en lo que parecía que
el plan de Hughes comenzaba
a dar buenos resultados sobre
la duela; sin embargo, Parker
y sus compañeras estelares, las
aleras Essence Carson y Nneka
Ogwumike, y las guardias
Alana Beard y Kristi Tolliver
encestaron en doble dígito con
excepción de Ogwumike, que
anotó 8 puntos.
Por suplentes, la escolta Chelsea Gray volvió a hacerle daño
a Stars acumulando 9 unidades
con 5 rebotes, 3 asistencias y
2 balones perdidos, durante
22:56 minutos de juego.
Por San Antonio destacaron
encestando en doble dígito
McBride con 13 puntos y la
guardia novata Moriah Jefferson, quien en 31:21 minutos de
acción encestó 7 de 12 disparos
al aro, con 2 de 5 triples, 2 de 2
en tiros libres, 3 rebotes, 3 asistencias, 2 balones perdidos y 2
robos de balón con 18 puntos
encestados.
Con su doble victoria Sparks
se empató en el liderato de
la Conferencia del Oeste con
Lynx de Minnesota, ambas con
7 victorias por 0 derrotas. Les
siguen Wings de Dallas, Storm
de Seattle, Mercury de Phoenix
y Stars.
El tercer partido de su serie
de 4 cotejos en el rol regular se
jugará en el AT&T Center el 1
de septiembre.
El cuarto combate será el 16
de septiembre en Los Ángeles.
“Seguimos jugando con buen
balance en equipo. Nuestro
entrenador nos ha dado toda
la confianza para hacer nuestro
plan de juego, lo cual hasta
ahorita va bien”, dijo Toliver.
“Contento a pesar de las
derro­tas, ya que en ambos
partidos pudimos ver las habilidades de cada una de nuestras
jugadoras. Moriah Jefferson
hoy se destacó encestando 18 tra defensiva. Le doy crédito a
puntos con buena ofensiva Sparks, están pasando por buey defensiva. La rival Chelsea nos momentos”, dijo Hughes.
Gray logró pararnos en nuesStars jugarán dos partidos
locales: el sábado 11 vs. Liberty
de Nueva York y el martes 14
de junio contra Storm de Seattle
y su capitana Sue Bird.
