Lorain Artist
Phillipe Jacinto Velazquez
Making An Impression
P
by Will Sanchez
Phillipe Jacinto Velaszquez first solo exhibit was held in Pittsburgh 1992. It took him three years to complete 7 paintings for
this exhibit. All of the paintings were airbrushed super-realistic
marbles on canvas. Since 1998 he has been focusing on oil painting and educating himself how to work the ways of the great
masters painters.
Phillipe have been painting and drawing for as long as he
can remember. There was no real decision to draw or paint. For
him it was just became a natural event and a passion for that he
continues to enjoy today. Phillipe said “This roads and direction
I have taken and the mediums I have utilized to create with, over
my lifetime, have never been motivated by money, but by my
desire to gain an understanding as to how color, light, and movement work together. I have always felt moved by color. For him,
if his artwork provokes a smile or to raise an eyebrow that shows
how art transform into feelings.
Phillipe stated “I was very fortunate to have had parents
that encouraged and reminded me that my family and cultural
background was full of talented people. My grandparents were
both artisans and musicans in Mexico. I have no formal training.
My training came from painting all the walls in the house where
I was raised. My parents allowed me to paint murals on the walls
restaurants. Phillipe was hired out by a public relations firm, Hill
& Knowlton, to create PowerPoint presentations for GE Capital in
Connecticut, New York and Puerto Rico. The job included design
and layout of the presentation as well as photo research, photo
retouching and flash animation work. He has also produced a multilanguage interactive educational CD titled CBRN for Mine Safety
Appliances. A Pittsburgh based company.
Phillipe has always been successful working as a freelancer and
has worked for the Pittsburgh Public Theater. Another job he enjoy
doing was working for Point Park University painting on large
scenic backdrops for several theater productions over the period
of three years. The theater work required Phillipe to create faux
woodwork, marble floors and large canvas sky views. For the past
two years he have work exclusively with a company call Home Run
Pictures, a Pittsburgh base 3D animation studio. Phillipe is of Cuban
and Mexican decent and was born in Lorain, Ohio the International
City where he will be exhibiting on July 16 –August 15, 2011at the
Lorain Arts Council in downtown Gallery.
in almost every bedroom and basement
in our house.I went to the museum often
by myself and would sit and stare at the
paintings. My parents bought me paint
and brushes and books about the master
artists from Mexico and Italy my mother
made many personal sacrifices for me
to have the materials I needed to paint.
There was art all over our home since
my parents would returned from Mexico
often. There where paintings and sculptures from all of Central America. I was
very influenced by my culture early on
in my life. There were also many very
talented Latino artist and musicans in our
community.”
Other exhibits: A solo show in Columbus, Ohio where Phillipe was also took
part in a group show at the Kings Gallery
in Columbus.
Phillipe’s work experience has
covered a wide range of mediums over
the past 10 years. He spent two years
freelancing for a video production
company. Phillipe created animated commercials for broadcast television earning
him a TELLY award for my animated
spot for The United Way Charities. He
also has received an ADDY award for an
animated spot he created for Eat n Park

Lorain Native Ray Carrion
& the Latin All Stars
Return to U.S. Steel Pipe Yard
Stadium in Lorain, Ohio!
L
orain native Ray Carrion
shared the stage with Black
Eyed Peas, original KISS
members Ace Frehley and
Peter Criss and Sheila E., He is one the
most in-demand guitarists and Ray Carrion returns to the U.S. Steel Pipe Yard
Stadium in Lorain, Ohio, on Friday, July
1st. He will perform live from 5:30 pm to
7:00 pm. Carrion will be joined by some
of the most talented Northeast Ohio musicians Sammy DeLeon, El Mostro, Mikey
DeLeon, Elmer Arrocho, and Juan Gonzalez, Jr.
A ball game between the Richmond
River Rats and the Lorain County Ironmen follows the concert. Last year at the
Pipe Yard, in front of the largest crowd
of the season, Carrion dazzled the fans
with his unbelievable guitar skills, which
includes blend of jazz, funk, and a “Santana” tribute. Carrion has also played
with Tito Puente, El Chicano, Al Wilson,
Celia Cruz, Friends of Distinction during
his stellar career.
Since 1982 the veteran guitarist has
moved to southern California and where
his home base of operations is established
. The move has served him well, his gigs
span from rock, funk and Latin music.
He’s has been performing regularly since
1986 with the influential Latin funk act El
Chicano. He also started Europa, a Santana tribute act that features that group’s
former drummer Walfredo Reyes Jr. His
most recent solo recording is “Esperando.”
Carrion also joined Azteca onstage during
a reunion concert. The early ’70s band that
formed after several members left
Santana. They released two albums on Columbia Records.
When asked for an update
on his musical activities, Carrion replied, “I’ve been very
busy playing everywhere. In
October 2009, I had the pleasure playing at the Woodstock
West Fest 40th Anniversary
Concert at Golden Gate Park in
San Francisco in front
of more than
100,000 hippies. It was
a great vibe
playing with the legendary EL Chicano.
Also, Leslie West, Ronnie Montrose,
Neil Schon (Journey), Paul Katner were
there.”
In 2010, Ray toured the U.S. as part
of the Latin Legends Show. The lineup
featured WAR, Malo and El Chicano.
In August, El Chicano opens for Los
Lonely Boys at the Greek Theatre in
Los Angeles. Ray played live with Joe
Bataan, who helped create the Latin
Funk Sound in the early 1960s.
One most memorable gig Carrion
performed was overseas. “I was in
Bangkok, Thailand, backing up famous
Thai singers in an all-star concert. The
audience sang every song, word-forword, in Thai. Imagine being in Quicken Loans Arena, sold out, and everyone
singing in Thai every song we played.
That was a rush!”
The U.S. Steel Pipe Yard Stadium is
located at 2840 Meister Road, Lorain,
Ohio 44053. Tickets for the concert and
game are only $5. Friday, July 1st 5:30

ment and former Cleveland Indian
player, is very excited about the special
events planned for the stadium. “Our
goal, since we came to Lorain, is provide an affordable form of family entertainment to the residents of Lorain
County. Events such as the Ray Carrion Concert, and others like U.S. Veterans Night – July 15th, and the Friday
Night Fights featuring Wilkins Santiago
on July 29th will undoubtedly make the
Pipe Yard the place to be this summer.”

J
ennifer Lopez was born
in the Bronx, New York,
and raised on Blackrock Avenue in the New
York City borough's Castle Hill
Castle neighborhood. She is
the daughter of Puerto parents
Guadalupe (née Rodríguez), a
kindergarten teacher, and David Lopez, a computer specialist, both born in Ponce, Puerto
Rico Lopez was raised Roman
Catholic. She has two siblings,
Lynda and Leslie. Lopez spent
her entire academic career in
Catholic schools, finishing at the
all-girls Preston High School in
the Bronx.
She financed singing and
dancing lessons for herself from
the age of 19. After attending Baruch College for one semester,
Lopez divided her time between
working as a notary public in a
legal office, dance classes, and
dance performances in Manhattan night clubs. She had a small
part in the 1987 film “My Little
Girl at the age of sixteen.” After
months of auditioning for dance
roles,
Lopez was selected as a dancer for various rap music videos, a
1990 episode of Yo! MTV Raps
and became a backup dancer for
the New Kids on the Block and
their performance of their song
"Games" for the American Music Awards in 1991. She gained
her first regular high-profile job
as a “Fly Girl” dancer on the
television comedy program “In
living Color” from 1991-1993.
Soon after, Lopez became a
backup dancer for Janet Jackson and made an appearance in
her 1993 video “ That’s the Way
Love Goes” this was the start of
many appearances on music videos.
JLo
Jennifer Lopez
Her first leading role was in the biographical film Selena (1997), in which she
earned an ALMA Award for Outstanding
Actress. She earned her second ALMA
Award for her performance in Out of
Sight (1998). She has since starred in various films, including The Wedding Planner
(2001), Maid in Manhattan (2002),Shall
We Dance (2004), Monster-in -Law
(2005), and The Back-up (2010).
Lopez came to prominence within the
music industry following the release of
her debut studio album On the 6O (1999)
which spawned the number one hit single
“If You Had My Love” . Her second studio album J. Lo (2001) was a commercial success, selling eight million copies
worldwide to tha J. L-O!:The Remixes
(2002) became her second consecutive
album to debut at number one on the billboard 200 while her third and fourth studio albums – This Is Me…Then (2002)
and Rebirth (2005) – peaked at number
two on the Billboard 200. In 2007, she released two albums including her first full
Spanish-language album Como ama una
Mujer, and her fifth English studio album.
Returning to music with a new record label, Lopez is scheduled to release her seventh studio album, titled Love?, on April
19, 2011. Its single ‘On the Floor” " is currently impacting charts worldwide. Her
contributions to the music industry have
garnered her numerous achievements including two Grammy Award nominations;
two Latin Grammy Award nominations;
three American Music Awards, amongst
six nominations; and the estimated sale
of over 55 million records worldwide.
Billboard ranked her as the 27th Artist of
the 2000s decade. Lending her musical
knowledge to others, Lopez is currently a
member of the judging panel of American
reality television competition American
Idol where she has become one of American Idol’s super stars. Not bad for the girl
know as Jenny on the Block.
Her life partner and singer Marc Anthony, is a long-time friend with whom
she had worked in music videos. They had
briefly dated in the late 1990s, before his
first marriage and her second. Lopez and
Anthony were recording a duet together
in early 2004, for Lopez's then-upcoming
film Shall We Dance?. In October 2003,
Anthony became separated, for the second time, from his first wife, former Miss
Universe Dayanara Torres, with whom he
has two children. Torres filed for divorce
three months later. Lopez and Anthony
married in a quiet home wedding on June
5, 2004, four days after his divorce from
Torres was final.
Lopez's guests had been invited to
an "afternoon party" at Lopez's house
and had not been made aware that they
were actually going to her wedding. The
couple had planned not to publicize their
marriage early on, allowing more privacy
and time together in an otherwise intrusive environment. Days after the wedding, Anthony refused to comment on
their marriage during interviews which
were scheduled earlier to promote a new
album "Ammar Sin Mentiras" (To Love
Without Lies). In February 2005, Lopez
confirmed the marriage, and added that
"everyone knows. It's not a secret and a
few months later, Anthony's daughter,
Ariana, appeared at the end of Lopez's
music video " Get Right" as her little
sister. Regarding his marriage and family life, Anthony maintains a private and
sometimes defensive stance with the media, which has influenced Lopez to set
some boundaries with interviews. They
make a great couple and a great team.

An Excellent-Rated Public
School is coming to Ohio City
A
nationally recognized, toprated, public school model
is coming to Cleveland’s
Ohio City neighborhood
this fall. The Near West Intergenerational School will open with 80 students K-2.
It will be located in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District’s Excellent-rated
Garrett Morgan School of Science (a
high school) building at 4016 Woodbine
Avenue. In subsequent years, additional
grades will be added, until the school
reaches its full complement of K-8 education. Recruitment and enrollment for
the inaugural group of 2011-2012 school
year students has just begun.
Near West Intergenerational School is
the culmination of several years of discussion and careful planning that began
when a diverse group of parent many
After 10 years, The
Intergenerational School’s
unique model has proven to
be an enormous success. It
received “Excellent” ratings
from the Ohio Department of
Education for six years, and
was highlighted as one of only
seven charters in the nation by
the US Department of Education
for innovation and closing the
achievement gap
from the Latino community and community advocates on the
near west side began talking eighteen months ago.
“The process has been challenging at times, but the act of
trying to create a community school has actually strengthened
bonds between neighbors, parents and businesses. Everyone
wants a school that will provide a great education and keep families in the neighborhood,” said Norma Polanco-Boyd, founding
member and mom of two.
The group researched various educational models and met
with a cross-section of public school officials and private school
representatives. And while everyone they met with was extremely helpful, it wasn’t until they met Dr. Cathy Whitehouse,
founder of The Intergenerational School (TIS) on Cleveland’s
East side, that they found the model they wanted to bring to this
community.
Cathy and her husband, Dr. Peter Whitehouse, founded The
Intergenerational School just a little decade ago as a public,
nonprofit charter school. Cathy, with an academic background
in child development, was interested in how kids learn, and how
schools succeed. Peter, as a physician working with the elderly,
was interested in how seniors stay active and engaged. Both
were interested in the idea of an “intergenerational learning environment,” where young children and older adults could learn
from each other. Hence, The Intergenerational School was born.
After 10 years, The Intergenerational School’s unique model
has proven to be an enormous success. It received “Excellent”
ratings from the Ohio Department of Education for six years,
and was highlighted as one of only seven charters in the nation
by the US Department of Education for innovation and closing
the achievement gap, among numerous other local, national, and
even international, recognitions.
The west side parents were impressed with the school’s approach, record of accomplishments, and integration with various
community organizations (as part of the mission). Subsequently,
they have worked with the east-side school to replicate what
they were doing on the near west side of town.
As a public charter school, it’s free of charge, and enrolls
students on a first-come, first-served basis. The curriculum is
based on Ohio’s content standards, but uses a developmental
approach, where children progress at their own pace based on
mastery. What results is an individualized education where
students build a solid academic foundation as part of a learning
community where respect and civility are paramount. Students
work with mentors (mostly senior citizens) and ‘adopt’ residents
at local long-term care facilities, and participate in other learning
activities with community members of all ages. In Ohio City,
the diversity of the population and vibrant community will be
leveraged to create a rich experience to include themes such as
Latino culture and environmental sustainability.
The next Parent Information Sessions will take place on:
Thursday, June 9th at 5:30pm, St. Malachi Center, 2416 Superior Viaduct
Tuesday, June 14th at 5:30 pm, Franklin Circle Church, 1688

grupo musical
Los Lobos
La música y la amistad unen a Louie Pérez, Steve Berlin, César
Rosas, Conrad Lozano, David Hidalgo y Cougar Estrada, el grupo de
amigos del este de Los Ángeles conocido como Los Lobos. La banda
debutó con el álbum “Just Another Band from East L.A.” hace unos
30 años.
Una de las cualidades que ha mantenido a Los Lobos es el orgullo que sienten por sus raíces humildes; sienten que han evolucionado sin perder de vista de donde provienen. Consideran que el secreto de su longevidad tiene que ver con la sustancia de su música
y no por la parte comercial o de moda de la industria.
Su debut en español fue pequeño, tocando en varios restaurantes mexicanos; sin embargo, fue a mitad de la década de los
80 cuando despegaron al hacer el cover de la película La Bamba,
canción original del chicano Ritchie Valens, cuya astronómica pegada
los llevó a encabezar las listas de popularidad.
El legendario grupo Los Lobos sigue siendo los mismos amigos
que se juntan para hacer música. Disfrútalos gratis en el Concierto
de la Gente el jueves 30 de junio en el Centro de convenciones de
Duke Energy en Cincinnati a partir de las 8 p.m. Busca tus boletas
al visitar la exposición de la Liga de Ciudadanos Latinoamericanos
Unidos a partir del miércoles 29 de junio.
Ex presidente de México
Vicente Fox
El ex presidente Vicente Fox Quesada gobernó México del 20002006. Creció en el estado de Guanajuato y se graduó de Administración de Empresas de la Universidad Iberoamericana en la ciudad
de México. Su vínculo con esta región del Medio Oeste en Estados
Unidos surge de su abuelo paterno, Joseph Louis Fuchs, quien nació
en Cincinnati, Ohio, donde creció y trabajó antes de mudarse a
México en 1897.
En el 2007, la Cámara de Comercio Hispana de Cincinnati invitó al
ex presidente mexicano a fungir como orador en su gala anual.
“Nos sentimos increíblemente honrados en ser la única ciudad
en Estados Unidos en tener vínculos directos con un ex presidente
de México”, dijo en ese entonces Alfonso Cornejo, presidente de la
Cámara de Comercio Hispana de Cincinnati.
Fox abogó por traer la convención nacional de LULAC a esta
región, donde estará presente el viernes 1o de julio en el Banquete de
Premiaciones Presidencial.

en Albuquerque, Nuevo México con gran éxito. La mayor parte de su
material trata sobre su vida como inmigrante dentro de una familia
mexicana que crece en el sur de Estados Unidos. Está considerado
como un talento de “una nueva raza latina de comedia”, según la
crítica especializada.
Personajes de Disney
Mickey y Minnie Mouse
Los reyes del maravilloso mundo de Disney vienen a esta región para deleitar a los niños de todas las
edades. Mickey Mouse, la mascota estrella de Disney, fue creado en 1928 a solicitud de Walt Disney. La
primera caricatura debutó en 1930 y cinco años después hizo su primera aparición a color. Fue el primer
personaje de caricatura en obtener una estrella en el Paseo de la Fama en Hollywood en 1978, al cumplir
sus 50 años.
El imperio de Disney traspasa las fronteras, las edades y el tiempo. “Espero que nunca perdamos de vista
un hecho: que todo esto empezó por un ratón”, dijo en su momento su creador Walt Disney.
Mickey y Minnie Mouse están en la región para compartir con grandes y chicos durante la exposición
nacional de LULAC, a partir del 29 de junio en la ciudad de Cincinnati, Ohio.

Mantente bella con
secretos de la China

MARGA ZAMBRANA EFE
Cuentan que la emperatriz Cixi usaba polvo de perlas y
aguas florales para mantener la blancura de su piel, uno de los
secretos de belleza de la fitoterapia china recuperados hoy por
los salones para los nuevos ricos y famosos.
El tratamiento contra el acné a base de miel fue el que le
dio a Lily Lu su sobrenombre en inglés, "Sugar Mama".
"Mira mi piel, nunca me maquillo, ni siquiera cuando voy
a las fiestas, porque el maquillaje tiene productos químicos
que destruyen la piel", explica.
Sus tratamientos combinan la tecnología sueca con productos naturales y las fórmulas secretas heredadas de su familia.
Consciente de que muchos de estos productos han sido
hallados fraudulentos por contener químicos prohibidos, Lu
se come sus brebajes para demostrar que son totalmente inocuos.
Jabón de miel y propóleo, loción de sandía y polvo de perlas, tratamiento antioxidante a base de pieles y semillas de
uvas, máscara de colágeno y seta blanca, proteínas de seda
y extractos de hierbas para teñir el cabello son algunos de
los productos que ha patentado y que sus clientes buscan por
cajas.
La esteticista defiende sus máscaras de plátano, tofu o leguminosas frente a la cosmética occidental, a cuyos químicos
acusa de dejar manchas en la piel, un problema que se acentúa
con la radiación de las computadoras, según asegura.
En Pekín o Shanghai se practican tratamientos rejuvenecedores con sondas de luz, masajes con aceites y piedras, exfoliaciones corporales con limón, coco o banana, o tratamientos
purificadores tibetanos a base de hierbas, té, leche de calabaza, azafrán y azalea blanca de los Himalaya.
"Una piel sin color, amarillenta y sin brillo indica que la
persona padece cansancio, falta de vitalidad y de salud", explica Wendy Shao, doctora de MTC del Beijing United Family Hospital.
Shao indica que también la obesidad y problemas de los
órganos internos pueden reflejarse en un rostro macilento, por
lo que recomienda infusiones a base de espino chino, Kudzu
y semillas de Cassia para depurar el hígado, mejorar el funcionamiento del sistema linfático y, con ello, de la piel.
