UNA LEYENDA...
En Ambos Lados de la Frontera
Gabriel Medina - Excélsior
El pueblo de México le dió el último adiós al charro, quien
tuvo una misa de cuerpo presente en la Basílica de Guadalupe.
Hasta el cielo lloró, y de manera muy copiosa, la partida del
cantante y actor don Antonio Aguilar, quien falleció el pasado
martes minutos antes de la medianoche, a causa de una fibrilación
venticular y una falla en varios de sus órganos.
El Charro de México fue velado ayer en la agencia funeraria
Gayosso de Félix Cuevas, donde además de decenas de
fervorosos seguidores, acudió el presidente Felipe Calderón,
acompañado de su esposa, Margarita Zavala.
"Lamento profundamente el falleciemiento de Antonio
Aguilar, significa no sólo la pérdida de uno de los más grandes
artistas mexicanos, sino también la muerte de un mexicano
ejemplar, un ejemplar padre de familia y un hombre con una gran
sensibilidad.
"Yo personalmente le seguí como millones y millones de
mexicanos, escuché sus canciones, sus corridos y ví sus películas.
Tuve la oportunidad de conocer su trayectoria humana y
personal, el amor que profesó por su esposa y sus hijos y su gran
cariño por México. Descanse en paz un gran mexicano, y que el
pueblo que lo quiere pueda rendirle tributo no sólo a su arte, sino a
su ejemplo, para que pueda seguir siendo su testimonio la semilla
para un mejor México. Descanse en paz Antonio Aguilar",
expresó el primer mandatario.
También estuvo presente Genaro Borrego Estrada, ex titular
del IMSS y ex gobernador de Zacatecas, el estado que vio nacer
hace 88 años a don Antonio.
"Hizo muchísimo por Zacatecas, constantemente estaba cerca
de la gente, apoyándola y animándola. Él ayudó mucho a que se
hiciera una presa en la región de Villanueva, que es de las más
grandes del estado y beneficia a mucha gente. Siempre colaboró
con sus eventos para el DIF y las mejores causas de Zacatecas.
Los zacatecanos estamos muy agradecidos con don Antonio y su
legado", declaró.
Acudieron a despedirlo cientos de admiradores de todas las
edades, que cantaron en su honor algunos de sus inmortales temas
como Caballo prieto azabache, Albur de amor y Triste recuerdo,
entre muchos otros.
No faltaron las porras y exclamaciones de "¡Arriba
Zacatecas!", "¡Queremos ver al Charro de México!" y "¡El cine
mexicano se acabó!", que exclamaron los fieles seguidores tanto
de sus más de 150 películas, como de sus 163 álbumes.

A LEGEND
on both sides of the border
Antonio Aguilar, an actor
and ranchera singer
considered a master of the
genre, has died in Mexico
City at the age of 88.
Aguilar, who died
Tuesday of pneumonia,
symbolized the Mexican
charro culture -- associated
with the typical Mexican
horseman in a short jacket,
white shirt and huge
sombrero -- and was a
popular singer and actor, The
New York Times reported
Wednesday.
Aguilar recorded more
than 150 albums, rising to the
top of the Mexican countrymusic scene with his
powerful voice and poignant
lyrics. His classics "Triste
Recuerdo," "Gabino Barrera"
and "Un Puno de Tierra" are
still sung throughout Mexico.
After his film debut in
1952, Aguilar landed his first
leading role in 1956 as the
leading man in "Tierra de
Hombres." He appeared in
more than 125 films over 50
years.
Aguilar played a
prominent role in the
initiating Fiesta Day at the
Colorado State Fair and
partly responsible for its
success from the beginning.

Fireworks
ARE ILLEGAL
As the Fourth of July holiday
season approaches, the City of
Colorado Springs reminds its
citizens that the possession and use
of fireworks are illegal within the
city limits (City Code 9.7.302).
Professional fireworks displays
are allowed with special permits
issued by the Office of the Fire
Marshal (as of this date only one
permit has been received byno
permits have been.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control (CDC), in 2005,
four persons died and an estimated
10,800 were treated in emergency
departments for fireworks-related
injuries in the United States. An
estimated five percent of
fireworks-related injuries treated
in emergency departments
required hospitalization.
In addition, as weather heats up
and area vegetation dries out the
threat of fires caused by fireworks
becomes ever more worrisome.
Any careless fire that threatens or
damages property is subject to
prosecution and a fine up to and
including $500 and/or up to 90
days in jail.
The safest way to enjoy
fireworks is to watch professional
fireworks displays. This year a
giant display is planned for July 4
in Memorial Park that features
music from the Colorado Springs
Philharmonic Orchestra.

The Martini Shot Band
began to form in September of
with an idea of a modern
original/cover rock band with
horns. The name, “The Martini
Shot,” refers to the Hollywood
slang term for the last shoot of the
day. The band is hustling to write
the final few songs for the
upcoming CD, which they hope to
have released by late summer.
Martini Shot first began to play in
the town of Alamosa where the
majority of the Band attended
Adams State College as music
majors. Playing around the San
Luis Valley in places such as
Weekends Bar and Grill and the
Office Tavern, the band soon
created a following that opened
the door for them to pursue gigs at
the college for events such as

MANO DURA CONTRA CONDUCTORES EBRIOS
El año pasado, entre el 30 de
junio y el 9 de julio, 19 personas
murieron en accidentes
automovilísticos en las carreteras
estatales de Colorado. Ocho de
esas víctimas murieron en
choques que involucraron
alcohol y la mitad de esas
víctimas conducían motocicletas.
"No importa si usted maneja una
motocicleta, un coche, un camión

estado bebiendo alcohol", dijo el
Coronel Mark Trostel, Jefe de la
Patrulla Estatal de Colorado. "No

estatales colaborarán con
agencias policíacas locales para
aumentar la vigilancia en contra

"Ingerir alcohol y practicar

"Nacionalmente, una tercera
parte de las muertes en canotaje
están relacionadas con el alcohol.
Beber alcohol inhabilita su juicio,

Attorney Larry Manzanares, who was facing criminal charges in a stolen laptop case, shot himself
to death in Denver last Friday evening, according to police. Why, a Harvard Law graduate, a real
gentleman according to many, would end his life so tragically?
Locally, he was very well liked, and respected. Judge Gil Martinez of Colorado Springs preceded
his comments to me as “Bob, I can not comment on anything other than my personal feelings, he was a
great man, always trying to help people, he mentored many young attorneys, he had a judicial
demeanor above reproach”. Fellow Harvard Law School Alum, Joe Garcia, President of Colorado
State University Pueblo would only say “its tragic and very sad.”
This is where I have very deep feelings, I don’t really comprehend. The religious side of me says
suicide is so wrong, on the other hand, having spent time around soldiers in time of war, I know how
strong depression can be and its consequences. Life can be difficult at times, from losing a friend to
losing a girlfriend, some times no one can truly understand the reason this type of incident happens.
He was a previous president of LARASA (Latin American Research and Service Agency) and the Mi
Casa Resource Center for Women. He served on the Colorado Supreme Court Appellate Rule
committee, as well as on the board of the Colorado Hispanic Bar Association and more.
I did not know him that well, but his legacy will speak for itself.
Descanse en Paz, we shall miss you.

New Youth For Human Rights Club
Hope For Youth, Pike's Peak Youth For Human Rights Club
Colorado Springs – New
hope for basic human rights has
taken hold in Colorado Springs,
CO. Nine local youth have
started Hope for Youth, Pike's
Peak Youth for Human Rights
Club at Shivers Academy. They
have chosen the goal to educate
youth in the area about the 30
basic human rights afforded to all
by the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights adopted by the
United Nations in 1948.
One of the targets for the new
youth club is obtaining signatures
on a grass roots petition that they
have already signed.
This
petition states that as the
Universal Declaration of Human
Rights has been endorsed by the
nations of the world and asks that
this Declaration be broadly
displayed and promoted; with
human rights education made
available to children and adults
throughout the world.
The
petition signatures from this area
will be added to others and
presented to the President of the
United States.
Hope for Youth, Pike's Peak
Youth for Human Rights Club
with its adult leader, Rev. Wayne
Houston, youth leader Stephon
Ward and assistant youth leaders,
Jamal Vanderpool and Stacy
Jackson and the charter members
are already brainstorming for
other activities to further the
human rights message in their
neighborhood, their city and their
part of Colorado. Club members
will use educational booklets on
all 30 basic human rights entitled
“What Are Human Rights?", the
Yo u t h f o r H u m a n R i g h t s
International theme song,
UNITED, DVD, and a copy of all
30 public service announcements
(one for each basic human right)
DVD to educate youth and adults.
Youth leader, Stephon Ward said,
"I have studied civil rights but
until I saw the UNITED DVD,
and the booklet, I didn't know all
of my 30 human rights.
That is why I wanted to be a
charter member of this club so I
can say I was one of the first in my
community to bring the message
of basic human rights to all.”

Henry Reyes, in 1966 took the
newly appointed State Fair
Manager Don Svedman to a
concert by Antonio and his wife
Flor Silvestre. George Sandoval
then KAPI General Manger and
Henry, who worked at KAPI, had
tried to sell the Fiesta Day segment
for some time. In 1967, the first
Fiesta Day occurred. Antonio and
his rodeo was the feature
attraction. Henry went on to be the
“Fiesta Guy” for many years.
George Sandoval traveled with
Antonio as his Master of
Ceremonies for Antonio’s Rodeo
Show. Antonio had sold out
Madison Square Garden and the
LA Coliseum, just to mention a
few, with his National Mexican
Rodeo and concerts.
Aguilar was known for
portraying historical figures, such
as the title role in "Emiliano
Zapata." He also played a Mexican
general in the Hollywood film
"The Undefeated" starring John
Wayne. In 2000 Aguilar received a
star on the Hollywood Walk of
Fame.
George Sandoval used to say,
“The Undefeated where the Indian
gets the Girl and the Mexicans get
the horses.”
He was the first Mexican singer
to mix his concerts with a rodeo
show.Aguilar toured in major U.S.
cities, helping to broaden the
popularity of ranchera music,
which draws on Mexico's rural
folklore.

United Health Foundation Se Suma A “Envejecimiento Con Dignidad”
500.000 Ejemplares Sobre Cómo Tomar Decisiones De Cuidados Al Final De La Vida
Para ayudar a que todos los
individuos tengan acceso a la
toma de decisiones al final de la
vida, independientemente de su
cultura, origen étnico o ingresos,
United Health Foundation se ha
asociado con Envejecimiento con
Dignidad (Aging with Dignity),
la Administración sobre el
Envejecimiento de los Estados
Unidos, la Asociación Americana
de Hospitales y otras
organizaciones nacionales y
locales para lanzar la campaña de
los 500.000 Deseos, en la que se
distribuirán medio millón de
ejemplares de Cinco Deseos (Five
Wishes) durante el próximo año.
Cinco Deseos es una directiva
anticipada, o testamento vital, que
ayuda a la gente a tomar
importantes decisiones al final de
la vida en cuanto a sus
necesidades médicas, personales,
emotivas y espirituales antes de
una crisis de salud. Cinco Deseos
ayuda a responder las siguientes
preguntas:
¿Quién tomará decisiones en su
nombre cuando usted no pueda
hacerlo por sí mismo?
¿Qué clase de tratamiento
médico desea/no desea?
¿Qué cómodo desearía estar?
¿Cómo desea que lo trate la
gente?
¿Qué desea que sepan sus seres
queridos?
Cinco Deseos cumple con las
obligaciones legales de 40
estados y se utiliza como modelo
para preparar las Directivas
Anticipadas para el Cuidado en
los 10 restantes. Se encuentra
disponible ahora en albanés,
bengalí, árabe, chino (tradicional
y simplificado), croata, francés,
gujarati, criollo haitiano, hindi,
hmong, japonés, coreano, polaco,
portugués, ruso, somalí, español,
urdu y vietnamita, además de
inglés.
La campaña de 500.000 Deseos
es un "llamado a la acción"
nacional que realizan importantes
organizaciones consagradas a la
importancia de las decisiones de
cuidado al final de la vida y a
comunicar dichas decisiones a
familiares y personas a cargo del
cuidado. Por otra parte, la
campaña es una respuesta al
número cada vez mayor de
personas que necesitan asistencia
para comunicar sus deseos en
otros idiomas que no sea inglés.
United Health Foundation
financiará la distribución de
100.000 ejemplares impresos y
CD de los Cinco Deseos en los
próximos 12 meses entre
particulares, organizaciones
comunitarias, hospitales y
residencias para enfermos
terminales.
"Es vital para nuestros
esfuerzos en lo que hace a la
traducción y difusión de los Cinco
Deseos que se respeten las
diferencias sociales y culturales
propias de la toma de decisiones
difíciles sobre cuidados al final de
la vida. Nos afanamos en ayudar a
la gente de diferentes
procedencias a facilitar este
proceso dentro del contexto de su
propio marco cultural de
referencia. Esto es posible gracias
al generoso apoyo de United
Health Foundation y de nuestras
asociaciones comunitarias",
manifestó Paul Malley,
presidente de Envejecimiento con
Dignidad.
“Tomar decisiones sobre
cuidados al final de la vida es una
tarea difícil pero importante", dijo
Josefina G. Carbonell, Secretaria
Auxiliar de Envejecimiento con
Dignidad. "La comunicación y la
ayuda son críticas para asegurar
que los estadounidenses de la
tercera edad y sus familiares
tengan la información que
necesitan para hacer elecciones y
tomar decisiones que garanticen
su dignidad y cuidado al final de
la vida. La campaña de 500.000
Deseos ayudará a asegurar que
muchas personas que enfrentan
obstáculos idiomáticos y
culturales en nuestro país cuenten
con la información que les
permita compartir sus deseos más
personales para el futuro con su
familia y personas a su cuidado".
"Gracias a Cinco Deseos, miles
de personas que no hablan inglés
tienen acceso a una directiva
anticipada sobre el cuidado en su
propio idioma", dijo el Dr. Reed
Tuckson, miembro del directorio
de United Health Foundation.
"No obstante, la traducción no es
suficiente. Debemos poner este
servicio vital en manos de la gente
que más lo necesita. En
colaboración con las
comunidades culturalmente
diversas, los hospitales, las
residencias de enfermos
terminales y las organizaciones
de la nación que atienden a la
tercera edad, podemos ayudar a
facilitar los deseos y las
elecciones personales y superar
los obstáculos sociales y
culturales".
“Los hospitales tienen una
larga trayectoria de educar a los
pacientes y al público en general
sobre las directivas anticipadas de
cuidados al final de la vida. Es
importante que esta información
sea accesible, comprensible y
menos intimidante para todos",
señaló Rich Umbdenstock,
Presidente y Director General de
AHA. "Esta herramienta ayudará a
que las personas a cargo del
cuidado tiendan una mano y se
comuniquen con las poblaciones
diversas para asegurar que todos
los pacientes tengan la oportunidad
de dar a conocer sus deseos al final
de la vida. Envejecimiento con
Dignidad ha realizado un servicio
público vital".

PCC’s Aviation Tech program
expanding to Fremont County
Pueblo Community College will
begin offering its Aviation
Technology program in Fremont
County this fall through a
partnership with the Florence
School District and Pro Av Flight
Services. The training will be open
to both interested adults in the area
and Florence High School juniors
and seniors through the PostSecondary Enrollment Options
program (PSEO).
Of importance to veterans
interested in the classes is that the
Veterans Administration has
approved the ground school. The
PSEO, meanwhile, allows high
school students to earn college
credit. The school district
reimburses their tuition cost for as
much as two courses per semester
completed with a passing grade.
The ground school courses are
offered through PCC, and those
interested will be able to take the
“Private Pilot Ground School”
course (AVT 101) at night
beginning with the upcoming fall
semester. The flight training will be
conducted by Pro Av.
Both the ground school and flight
training classes will be held at Pro
Av’s location at the Fremont
County Airport. PCC will hire
instructors from Pro Av to assure
consistency between ground school
and flight training.
The announcement was made by
Jim Torres, who chairs PCC’s
Aviation programs. In February,
PCC and Pro Av representatives
had met with Florence High School
students and received enough
positive feedback to proceed with
their plans.
The move represents an
e x p a n s i o n o f t h e Av i a t i o n
Technology program that PCC
launched last fall at Pueblo
Municipal Airport in partnership
with Steel City Aviation. The
inaugural class there had 27
students, several of them high
school students from the two
Pueblo school districts. Most of the
students who enrolled for fall went
on to take their instrument and
commercial ground school courses
in the recently concluded spring
semester. Several have earned their
private pilot’s license and are
logging as many flight hours as
possible this summer. Meanwhile, a
ground school for helicopters is
scheduled to begin in Pueblo this
fall. Silver State Helicopters will
supply the instructors and flight
training. Students can pursue
careers in border and highway
patrol, Flight for Life, fire fighting
and criminal justice.
In addition to flight training,
PCC offers two semesters of
Aviation Maintenance courses, and
students can transfer to Colorado
Northwestern Community College
to complete their AM degree.
Students have other options at PCC,
too. Those interested in careers
related to aircraft refurbishing or
manufacturing can enroll in
refinishing, upholstery, plastics and
fiberglass courses as well as
machining and manufacturing
classes. For more information,
contact Jim Torres

Commissioners Work with Veteran’s Cemetery Committee
to Bring National Cemetery to Pikes Peak Region
At its regularly scheduled
meeting, the El Paso County
Board of Commissioners
received an update from Bentley
B. Rayburn, Major General,
USAF (retired) about the recent
activities of the Veteran’s
Cemetery Committee.
The cemetery committee was
formed in the early 1990’s and has
recently been working with the
Board of County Commissioners
and the public to gain support in
bringing a national veteran’s
cemetery to the Pikes Peak
region.
The County Commissioners
have passed a resolution in
support of bringing a national
veteran’s cemetery to Colorado
Springs and in May, the county
acquired approximately 380 acres
of land in Kane Ranch, located
east of the city of Fountain. Part
of this land has the possibility to
be used for the purpose of creating
a veteran’s cemetery.
“The Kane Ranch site holds
great promise for a veteran’s
cemetery with it’s location in
southern El Paso County and the
foresight of the original donor to
allow either a park or cemetery on
the land,” said Board Chair
Dennis Hisey.
“It is very
important that the Veteran’s
Administration sees local
government stepping up to the
plate on this issue.”
According to Bentley, the
committee has been making some
forward progress with the
Veteran’s Administration by
proposing that part of Kane Ranch
should be used for the creation of
the veteran’s cemetery. The first
goal of the proposal is to get on the
Veteran’s Administration’s
cemetery list and then it can take
up to 12 years to finally receive
federal funding for the cemetery.
“We have seen a lot of very
encouraging signs this year,” said
Rayburn. “Legislative support
has been good, House Bill 295
was passed and we are working
very hard with Senate Bill 168.
Part of our argument is the fact
that Fort Logan is the closest
national cemetery and it is
running out of room to expand. It
is estimated that by 2024 or 2027,
it will be at capacity. We are
trying to generate more public
pressure on the Senate side and on
the Veteran’s Administration itself
to put a national veteran’s cemetery
in this area of the state,” he added.
Mr. Rayburn noted that both
congressmen for the area, Doug
Lamborn and John Salazar, were
instrumental in passing the bill
through the House of
Representatives, and that the
committee would be working with
Senators Wayne Allard and Ken
Salazar for Senate passage.
“We, as elected officials, along
with the local Veteran’s Cemetery
Committee, are willing to work
with federal agencies so that men
and women who have served our
country are able to find a resting
place near their loved ones,” said
County Commissioner Wayne
Williams.

GOLD CUP
USA Continues Domination with 2-1
Victory Over México to Lift Fourth Overall
CONCACAF Gold Cup Trophy
The U.S. Men's National Team
continued their domination of
Mexico with a sterling, come-frombehind 2-1 masterpiece to claim
their fourth all-time CONCACAF
Gold Cup championship. Despite a
1-0 halftime deficit, a confident and
powerful U.S. team dominated
Mexico in the second half, behind
goals from Landon Donovan and
Benny Feilhaber, while also twice
hitting the post.
In addition to laying claim to
their third regional crown since
setting up Jonathan Spector to
send a perfect cross into the area
for Brian Ching. The Hawaiian
forward controlled the ball well,
spun around his marker and was
setting up for a chance on goal
when Jonny Magallon clipped his
legs from behind, setting up an
easy penalty call for Guatemalan
referee Carlos Batres.
"Chingy made a great play to
get the penalty," said Donovan
after the game. "He's in there to do
that. He's tough to play against.
He used his body well, and the guy
had no choice but to foul him."
As he has done throughout the
tournament, Donovan stepped up
and drained the spot kick, the
fourth consecutive game in which
the forward scored on a penalty
kick. For Donovan, the goal was a
historic one in many ways, tying
him for the USA' all-time goalscoring lead with Eric Wynalda at
34 and also tying the all-time Gold
Cup goal-scoring record with
Mexico's Luis Robert Alves with
12.
“I'm proud of it certainly,”
said Donovan about tying
Wynalda's record. “I'm more
happy we won the game, but
when I sit down tonight and think
about it, it will be awesome. But
now I want to get the next one in."
With the game now tied, the
U.S. continued their inspired play
in the second half, eventually
leading to a game-winning goal
that will surely go down as one of
the greatest in U.S. Soccer
history. Mexico was beginning to
feel the pressure from the U.S.
again when a dangerous cross
from Jonathan Bornstein earned
the USA a corner kick in the 72nd
minute. As Donovan's corner kick
slid into the area, it was headed
out by the Mexican defense,
falling to the top of the area where
Feilhaber hit a one-time, fullvolley blast out of the air and into
the upper left corner past a
helpless Oswaldo Sanchez.
“The first thing I was thinking
of when the ball was coming in
the air was that I'd had a couple of
shots in the El Salvador game that
were the same as that one,” said
Feilhaber, who scored for the
second time in seven appearances.
“I was just looking to get good
contact on the ball and send it
toward the goal. I knew as soon as
I hit it that it was going in. It felt
great.”
With the U.S. ahead 2-1,
Mexico began to crumble under
the pressure of trying to end their
decade-long losing streak against
the USA in the United States. Their
efforts were to no avail, as the U.S.
created two more scoring chances
that were stopped by the
woodwork, but ultimately didn't
help the Mexicans overcome their
nemesis. The first shot off the post
came in the 76th minute, when the
ever-active Ching spun on
Magallon in the penalty area again,
stepped around Sanchez, and then
hit an off-balance shot at an empty
net that bounced off the right post
as he was falling backwards.
In the 89th minute, a patented
late-game burst from Donovan
saw a two-on-none breakaway
end with DaMarcus Beasley
banging his empty net shot off the
cross bar.
Those two misses were
ultimately not a factor, but could
have been if not for a world class
save from Tim Howard on
Mexican substitute Adolfo
Bautista in the 89th minute just
seconds before Beasley's miss. On
the sequence, Nery Castillo
dribbled into the penalty area and
hit a shot that ricocheted to
Bautista eight yards in front of the
goal. Bautista had time to take a
touch, but his hard shot was
pushed over the bar by Howard
with two hands.
“I'm still in shock you know,”
said Howard about his late
heroics. “It's just one of those
things where you practice all the
time, and sometimes it comes off
for you. I saw the ball break
through and I tried my best and
today it was good enough. It's one
I'll remember forever. Sometimes
the team needs you to come up
with a big save, and you know
you can make a difference. I was
elated."
The USA is now 8-0-1 in nine
home games against Mexico this
decade, outscoring their rival 151. Mexico's goal in this match did
manage to end their goalless
streak in the U.S. at 797 minutes
across 10 games. Since 1990, the
U.S. is 12-7-7 in 26 games
Against Mexico, which includes a
dominating 11-3-5 record in the
United States (and a 1-0-1 record
in neutral venues). The victory also
marked the first time the U.S. had
ever come-from-behind to defeat
their arch-rivals.
In another USA milestone, for
the first time ever, the U.S. went a
perfect 6-0 in the tournament,
improving their all-time Gold Cup
record to an impressive 34-4-5.
The U.S. outscored their
opponents 13-3 across their 2007
tournament run.
The U.S. team departs on
Monday for Venezuela, just three
days in advance of the 2007 Copa
America, the regional
championship of South America.
The 12-team tournament will run
from June 26 to July 15 in nine
cities across Venezuela. The U.S.
has been drawn into Group C
along with Argentina, Paraguay
and Colombia. The U.S. will open
the tournament against Argentina
on Thursday, June 28 at Estadio
Jose “Pachencho” Romero in
Maracaibo. The U.S. will then face
Paraguay on July 2 at Estadio
Agustin Tovar “La Carolina” in
Barinas, before finishing group
play against Colombia on July 5 at
Estadio Metropolitano de Futbol
de Lara in Barquisimeto.
For the United States, the
appearance will mark their third
entrance into CONMEBOL's
signature event. The last time the
U.S. competed in the tournament
in 1995, the team upset defending
champion Argentina, 3-0, to
advance to the quarterfinals where
they defeated Mexico and
eventually finished in fourth place.
2002, the victory in the 2007
CONCACAF Gold Cup paves the
way for the USA's invaluable
participation in the 2009 FIFA
Confederations Cup, an eight-team
tournament being staged in South
Africa one year before the 2010
World Cup.
“This is the kind of effort on the
inside of our team that we keep
talking about,” said U.S. head coach
Bob Bradley after extending his
record with the United States to 10-01 since taking over at the start of the
year. “(It is) a result that didn't come
easy. A result where we had to come
from behind. A result that comes
from the effort of our entire group.
We are proud of defending the Gold
Cup championship and keeping the
trophy in the United States.”
The second half began with
another savvy tactical move from
Bradley, who brought Ricardo Clark
on for tournament standout Pablo
Mastroeni to help the U.S. midfield
cover more ground across the field.
Clark's impact was felt immediately
and helped unify a backline that had
been a bit unsettled in the first half.
The USA's first goal came on a
nice build-up from the U.S., who
seamlessly moved the ball from the
left to right flank at the midfield
stripe through DaMarcus Beasley,

México Perdió 2-1 con Estados Unidos
Ante un estadio Soldier Field
lleno y con mayoritario apoyo a
México, inició a las 14:00 hrs. el
encuentro de la Final de la Copa
Oro Concacaf 2007.
A los dos minutos, Nery
Castillo avanzó por el centro,
antes de entrar al área abrió a
Guardado por la izquierda, éste
sirvió a segundo poste a Borgetti
que pese a levantarse- no alcanzó
el esférico.
Cinco minutos después, en
una jugada de salida desde su
propio terreno, Salcido pasó a
Jaime Lozano que picó a Nery,
pero el balón se escurrió a donde
Howard controló.
Tras una falta sobre Alberto
Medina, Pavel Pardo cobró por la
derecha, el balón llegó al área
donde Jared, apretado por Carlos
Bocanegra no remató cómodo.
Damarcus Beasley pisó el
área con peligro a los 12 minutos,
pero la marca de Salcido y la
salida de Oswaldo le impidieron
realizar una jugada de peligro.
Jared Borgetti recuperó el
balón a los 14 minutos, Carlos
Salcido ingresó por la izquierda,
pasó a Guardado que centró al
área donde la defensa rechazó.
Dos minutos después,
Oswaldo Sánchez salvó el marco
Tricolor. Landon Donovan se
quitó dos verdes, ingresó por la
derecha y sirvió al centro a donde
Beasley entraba, pero de la nada,
apareció el guardameta mexicano
que atajó el balón.
Pavel Pardo cobró un tiro de
esquina por la derecha, en el área
Rafa Márquez remató de cabeza,
el balón fue enviado hacia atrás
por el guardameta Howard. En el
nuevo tiro desde la punta,
Márquez cabeceó encima de la
portería estadounidense.
A los 24 minutos, Estados
Unidos generó una jugada de
peligro, cuando Jonathan
Bornstein avanzó por la izquierda
y antes de entrar al área sacó un
tremendo disparo que pegó en la
red por fuera.
Oswaldo Sánchez rechazó de
puños un tiro centro por la

Students to Get Key Clinical Experience
AS PCC PROVIDES NEEDED DENTAL SERVICES
A new initiative that will
allow Pueblo Community
College to provide much-needed
dental services to low-income
residents of Pueblo County and
Southeast Colorado was
announced today by Dr. John
Garvin, PCC President. It also
will enable PCC’s Dental
Assisting and Dental Hygiene
students to gain valuable clinical
experience.
Through the Oral Health
Improvement Project (OHIP),
PCC will deploy a full-time
dental facility and establish the
staffing that will service
individuals of all age levels who
can’t afford dental care. The
facility will be staffed by a
dentist, dental assistant and
receptionist/billing clerk.
“This project aligns perfectly
with our mission of creating
learning opportunities for our
students,” said Garvin. “At the
same time, it supports our efforts
to contribute to our community in
a significant and meaningful
way.”
The service clinic will be
operational in January 2008.
Noteworthy is that it will be able
to provide restorative services in
addition to its traditional teeth
cleaning, X-rays and oral hygiene
health and prevention education.
Another beneficiary of the
project will be students enrolled
in PCC’s newly expanded Office
Administration program through
internships at the dental clinic as
receptionist/billing clerks. Their
functions will include patient file
management, insurance billing
and office reception
responsibilities.
The OHIP is being made
possible by a three-year $509,405
grant that has been awarded to
PCC by The Colorado Health
Foundation. PCC will receive
$144,439 in the first year of the
grant, $202,022 in the second
year and $169,944 in the final
year.
PCC administrators involved
in overseeing the implementation
and operation of the project will
be Cindy Mihelich, Dean of
Health Professions; Sue
Kochevar, Chair of the Dental
Hygiene program; and Janet
Trujillo, Chair of the Dental
Assisting program.
The grant proposal was
written by Chris Beltran, former
Grant Writer/Manager who now
s e r v e s a s P C C ’ s Ti t l e V
administrator, along with
Mihelich, Kochevar and Trujillo.
"The Oral Health
Improvement Project is designed
to be a two-pronged approach of
meeting the oral health needs of
our community and producing
well-prepared oral health
practitioners," explained Beltran.
“Considering both factors, the
potential impact is substantial."
Here is the basic timetable of
activities within the grant period:
By Oct. 1 this fall, PCC will
have a professional dental team
and full-time facility dedicated to
providing restorative oral health
services on its Pueblo Campus.
By Jan. 15, 2008, PCC will
establish the ability to seek
reimbursement for services
through Medicare, Medicaid,
Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+)
and other insurance providers
serving low-income individuals
and families. Hence, the dental
facility will be able to bill for
services, making it a selfsustaining operation. Service
rates have yet to be determined
but a sliding scale operation will
be examined.
By Oct. 1, 2008, a minimum
of 64 Dental Assisting and Dental
Hygiene students at PCC will
have access to clinical time
working in a dental team,
providing restorative services as
part of their education and clinical
experience. By the end of the
grant period, a minimum of 192
students will have had access to
the enhanced clinical experience.
By Oct. 1, 2008, a minimum
of 64 Dental Assisting and Dental
Hygiene students at PCC will
have exposure to diverse
consumer populations including
low-income, uninsured and
underinsured individuals and
families. By the end of the grant
period, a minimum of 192
students will benefit from
exposure to these populations.
During 50 weeks of operation,
a minimum of 1,200 patients will
be seen in the expanded dental
assisting clinic.
The majority of the patients are
expected to be referred to PCC
through a partnership with two
sources: the Pueblo Community
Health Center and the Pueblo
StepUp program, whose clients
represent an underserved
population. “This grant is the
result of the dedication and
commitment of the health
professions faculty at PCC to offer
not only quality education for
students but to identify a need in
the community and secure funds to
offer a much-needed service to
improve oral health in this region,”
pointed out Mihelich.
“The Colorado Health
Foundation recognized the value
of this grant, and we are very
thankful for their belief in our
proposal,” she added. “We look
forward to becoming stronger
community advocates for the
improvement in oral health.”
Garvin agreed. “This is the next
step in PCC’s ability to advance its
role in providing much-needed
health care and professional
services to the Pueblo
community,” he said.
The Colorado Health
Foundation is a nonprofit
organization that works with
others to make Colorado the
healthiest state in the nation by
improving access to affordable,
quality heath care for underserved
and low-income people and
encouraging Coloradans to make
healthier lifestyle choices. The
PCC grant is part of nearly $9
million that it has awarded to 60
state organizations in 2007.

Commentary
Integration is
The Ultimate Solution
By Eduardo Montalvo
Erecting a wall at the
Southern border and amnesty
are not definite solutions to
th e il le ga l im mi gr at io n
problem in the USA.
Integration is the ultimate
solution! We can diminish the
influx of new illegals in this
country by investing billions
of dollars in legal and
material controls, but we
can’t pass up the fact that we
already have more than 12
million people living illegally
inside our borders. We have
to do something with them
because we can’t repatriate
such a massive amount of
peo ple . We ha ve t o be
realistic!
They are living among us,
they are working and
participating in our economy,
and their sons and daughters
are going to school with our
kids. They are an active part
of this country. The only
difference between us and
them are our legal statuses.
They can be considered either
criminals or citizens;
criminals because they broke
our laws with the intention of
staying in our country or
citizens because they are an
active part of our nation. This
is the dilemma!
We have to commence a
national crusade to integrate
illegals into the economic,
legal, and civic life of
America. This integration
process won’t be easy to
implement, but it’s of
principal importance for our
nation. It’s a necessity in
order to preserve our moral
and civic values, as well as
our Americanism.
Integration can be
accomplished by
implementing an educational
and informational program.
This integration program
must contemplate the
following activities:
1) E N G L I S H : T h e
government – federal and
local – must implement an
in te ns iv e, co he re nt , a nd
effective program to teach the
English language to anyone
who needs it, despite their
le ga l st at us or in co me .
English is the first step to take
in order to become an active
c i t i z e n ; i t ’s t h e m a i n
communication tool, it’s the
adhesive that will keep us
together.
2) L E G A L I Z AT I O N :
There’s a lot of ignorance
about the possible venues to
become a legal resident. This
is wh y a co ns is te nt
informational campaign must
be implemented in order to let
people know about their
chances to become a legal
resident of this country.
Information is a key element
of integration.
3) AMERICANISM: It’s
necessary to teach immigrants
abou t the history of our
country and also about civics.
We can’t act as if immigrants
“absorb” these values by
osmosis. We can use our
schools, TV, and radio to
inform people about
Americanism.
Complying with these
programs will be mandatory
for thos e who are real ly
interes ted in becoming
“Americans”. Those who are
n ot interested must be
“invited” to go back home. We
have to give people incentives
to become an active part of this
nation and becoming a US
citizen must be the goal. The
Americanization process is
vital for the future of our
nation.
In order for illegals to
obtain US citizenship, it must
first be facilitated to all current
residents who comply with the
legal requi rement s. Free
classes must be offered to all
qualified candidates.
If we want to get the most
out of the millions of illegal
immigrants who are already
living in here, we have to offer
them the opportunity to learn
how to become citizens.
Everyo ne must get
involved in this important
process of integration,
including federal and local
go v e r n m e n t s , s c h o o l s ,
colleges and universities, and
the media. We already have
the resources available, so
let’s use them for a higher
purpose: the benefit of our
co un tr y an d it s pe op le .
Indiscriminate amnesty will
be prejudicial. I believe that
we should let only those who
are willing to adapt to our
laws, customs, and society to
remain here. Becoming
American must be the goal for
every immigrant who wants to
contribute to the grandeur of
this nation.

Real Estate
Colorado Web Site Levels the Playing Field
For Consumers and Real Estate Professionals
By Sheryl Bass
Consumers usually find
closing costs and title insurance to
be the least understood aspects of
home buying, selling or
refinancing.
Colorado
homeowners are required to
purchase title insurance by the
time they close on a house. In fact,
many would-be homeowners are
absolutely stunned by expensive
closing costs they don’t learn
about until they are literally
sitting at the closing table.
A new, free consumer
resource is now available that will
help demystify the closing cost
purchase process for those
buying, selling and refinancing
their homes.
Independent
consultant, Gary Wolff of
Colorado-based TI Services, used
his more than thirty years of
experience in the title insurance
and real estate industries to
launch MyTitleIns.com. This new
Website allows consumers to
shop and compare when
purchasing title insurance.
"We know that everyone
likes to make an informed
decision and save money.
MyTitleIns.com now provides the
ability for the real estate
consumer to be more
knowledgeable in their real estate
closing cost transactions," said
Wolff.
Wolff likens his site to the
popular Expedia and Orbitz sites
used by consumers to easily
compare air travel and hotel
prices. MyTitleIns.com takes the
title insurance industry and makes
companies accountable to their
consumers much in the same way
that many Websites have made it
easier for consumers to purchase
air fares, hotel rooms, rental cars,
auto insurance, and other things
that were previously more easily
manipulated to benefit a company
and not the consumer.
“I think there’s a general
misconception in Colorado that
all title insurance companies have
right around the same prices,”
said Jerry Spaeth, President and
General Counsel of Metro Denver
Title Company. “However,
different companies have
different discounts that can apply,
for example, when you are selling
your home or when you are
refinancing.”
It is common for consumers
to have no idea that they even
have a choice when it comes to
closing costs and title insurance.
Most home buyers or home
sellers simply rely on their
realtors to recommend a
particular title insurance
company, allowing for cozy
relationships between realtors
and those in the title insurance
industry. Some title insurance
companies are even owned by
real estate lenders or brokers
which, some say, creates a
conflict of interest.
“We believe this free Website
will make title companies more
transparent, more competitive
and more accountable for their
rates and services," says Wolff.
"We also believe the site will
empower real estate professionals
to better serve their clients."
Even many reputable realtors
are not aware of the exorbitant
price differential in closing costs
title insurance rates and fees. Title
insurance companies can adjust
charges on various line items,
such as a fee for the very delivery
of the title insurance document
itself to the homeowner’s new
address. One example of such a
price differential involves related
closing services of a $265,000
house for sale in Denver.
According to MyTitleIns.com,
title insurance costs range from
$1,777 to $2,760, representing a
significant difference of $983.
In fact, the Government
Accountability Office (GAO)
recently issued a report stating
that the $18 billion title insurance
industry knowingly “…put
consumers in a potentially
vulnerable situation where, to a
great extent, they have little or no
influence over the price of title
insurance, but have little choice
but to purchase it.”
MyTitleIns.com seeks to turn this
industry practice on its head by
giving consumers the power they
deserve. Additionally, the State
of Colorado recently passed
legislation that would allow for
further study of the oftoverlooked industry.
“Our job is to keep as much
money in the pockets of our
clients as possible and to provide
the best service,” said Mark
Napoli, realtor with Denver’s
Prestige Real Estate Group. “I
think real estate professionals
should use the site
[MyTitleIns.com] to further
educate and bring their clients
into the decision-making process.
It could also reduce some liability
to the real estate agent because it
is a mutual decision.”
While some information
about title insurance rates is
available on the Colorado
Division of Insurance Website
(DOI), much of the data is
outdated. The DOI Website also
does not show the application of
any discounts for which the
transaction might qualify. Fifty to
seventy percent of all transactions
qualify for such discounts. The
DOI also does not show any
endorsements or affirmative
coverages and it does not disclose
closing and ancillary fees.
Littleton resident, Kirstine
Rand, visited MyTitleIns.com
because she is in the process of
selling her home so that she may
buy a new one. “It was very easy
and positive,” she said about the
Website. “I made decisions about
what I would recommend to my
realtor based on what I learned on
this site. Interestingly, I played
around with the information on
the site, assuming that the same
[title insurance] agency would
have the best price for me as both
a buyer and a seller, but that was
not the case.” Rand was able to
save up to $940, depending on
what title company she selected.
“I definitely would recommend
this site because it puts the control
back in the hands of the
consumer,” Rand continued.
MyTitleIns.com currently
serves the entire Denver metro
area, the Colorado Springs metro
area, much of the Western Slope
including Grand Junction, and
will soon be available for more
than 90 percent of Coloradans.

Survey Finds Dramatic Discrepancy Between
Overall Hispanic Unemployment
Desire Of Hispanic Students To Pursue Higher
Swells; Women Gain Jobs By Kyle Fellenz
The Hispanic unemployment for Hispanic men 20 and older
Education Opportunities And Enrollment Numbers rate jumped from 5.4 percent in increased to 4.3 percent from 4.2 in
(PR Newswire) In an effort to
sh ed li gh t o n t he un iq ue
ch al le ng es fa ci ng Hi sp an ic
students, the National Research
Center for College and University
Admissions (NRCCUA) today
joined with the Hispanic Heritage
Foundation (HHF), the Hispanic
College Fund and Excellence in
Education to release new data
il lu st ra ti ng th e di sc re pa nc y
between young Hispanic students
interested in higher education and
the actual number that pursue a
degree.
The findings were unveiled
today at a press conference with
Senator Joe Lieberman (IN-CT)
and Congressman Ruben
Hinojosa (D-TX).
"We need to reach out to
Hispanic students earlier in their
high school careers to ensure they
have accurate information about
the college planning process,"
said Don Munce, President of
NRCCUA. "The reality is that
many Hispanic students are the
first in their families to explore
higher education. As a result, they
cannot rely as often as some other
ethnic groups on parents or family
members to give them direction.
They are more likely to rely on
third party resources to aid them
in t h e i r c o l l e g e s e a r c h ,
application and financial aid
processes.
That is why it is so important
to di sseminate information to
the se stu den ts abo ut hig her
ed uc at io n op po rt un it ie s an d
bolster the work of key groups to
open doors for Hispanic students
in to th e hi gh er ed uc at io n
community.”
According to results of the
NRCCUA-HHF College
Preparation 2007 study, nearly 98
percent of Latino high school
students say they want to attend
college and nearly 95 percent say
they realistically believe that they
will graduate from college. These
results mirrored those of high
school students across all ethnic
groups.
However, according to U.S.
C ens us Bur eau data , Lat ino
students attend college
significantly less often than their
peers in other ethnic groups with
Lati no student enrollment in
higher education only reaching 25
percent in 2004. White student
enrollment has remained steady
around 40 to 41 percent while
black student enrollment
remained in the 31 to 32 percent
range during the same time
period.
"We need to embrace the
unique needs and challe nges
facing today's Hispanic students
and make certain that they have
all the tools at their disposal to
pursue higher education," said
Munce. "Reaching out to these
students in the early stages of their
education decisions is vital in
creating an environment where
they can be successful in their
higher education endeavors.”
NRCCUA and the Hispanic
Heritage Foundation are
l a u n c h i n g
MiCollegeOptions.org, a service
specif ically design ed to help
Hispanic students with the college
planning process. More
information will be available at

April to 5.8 percen t in May,
according to data released Friday
by the U.S. Department of Labor.
This increase equated to 76,000
more Hispanics unemployed for
the month.
Overall, unemployment
across the U.S. remained at 4.5
percent through May. The gap
between the national
unemployment rate and that of
Hisp anic s now stan ds at 1.3
percentage points.
Some 95,000 fewer Hispanics
were employed in May than had
been in April, while the number of
Hispanics not in the labor force
increased by 111,000. This last
figure reflects that the total
working population – people of
working age, even if they're not
entering the workforce – increased
by 91,000 for the month, while the
labor force – representing those
actually entering the job market –
declined by 20,000.
Hisp anic empl oyme nt ha s
risen by 644,000 since May 2006.
Howev er, at 5.8 perce nt, the
current unemployment rate for
Hispanics is quite a bit higher than
the 5.0 percent posted at this time
last year.
Looking at May's seasonally
una dju ste d dat a for His pan ic
subgroups, the unemployment rate
April. Hispanic men lost 8,000 jobs
net as a result of which represent a a
labor force increase of 14,000 and
an unemp loyme nt incre ase of
22,000.
Hispanic women actually saw
their unemployment rate fall from
5.1 percent in April to 4.8 in May.
Some 40 ,000 wo men became
employed while 16,000 entered the
labor force, decreasing the total
number of unemployed by 24,000.
The unemployment rate for
Hispanic teenagers (age 16 to 19)
rose to 19.7 percent in May from
17.1 percent in April. Hispanic
teens lost a total of 32,000 jobs last
month. This number reflects a
decrease in the labor force of
6,000, coupled with an
unemployment increase of 26,000
(the discrep ancies are due to
rounding).
Teen ag er s ty pi ca ll y ha ve
the highest unemployment rates
since they have fewer job skills and
less experience. Therefore, they
may have difficulty being hired.
Teenagers also tend to be less
attached to the labor market, often
entering and exiting as their school
enrollment status and geographic
location change. For example, the
labor force participation rate of
Hispanic teens in March and April
was only 36 percent.
