Tradicionalmente el mes de mayo est dedicado a la mujer, y tambin nosotros nos unimos a la celebracin de la mujer como madre, creadora, compaera, amiga, inspiracin, ngel de la guarda, fuerza, tierra, hermana, musa, hija, abuela, pasin y muchas otras facetas que hacen de ellas seres complejos y fascinantes. Como un homenaje discreto pero sentido, siempre hemos presentado en nuestro peridico conversaciones con diferentes mujeres hispanas en Delaware que vienen de pases y experiencias diferentes y han permitido que compartamos un poco de su intimidad y manera de ver el mundo. Es la punta del iceberg de la gran riqueza cultural y vivencial de la mujer hispana. Hemos escogido personas que no son tan conocidas o que simplemente trabajan atrs de bastidores construyendo un mundo mejor y ms feliz para todos con los que tienen contacto. No son historias de heronas en el sentido clsico de la historia sino en el mundo pequeo de lo cotidiano, y seguramente la pobreza en sus planteamientos se deba a nuestra poca capacidad para contarlas y no a que no sean historias extraordinarias que son en cierta forma tambin la historia de miles de mujeres annimas que nunca se dan a conocer. Ojala tuviramos ms espacio en nuestras pginas para dar a conocer muchas ms mujeres formidables que enriquecen nuestras vidas, a veces con tan solo una sonrisa, una palabra amable o simplemente su presencia. As que muchas gracias, mujeres, por darle sentido a nuestra vida y tambin tanta alegra. Es tambin una extraordinaria ocasin para congratular a esos cientos de jvenes hispanos que la semana pasada fueron reconocidos por sus mritos acadmicos, comunitarios, cientficos, artsticos o deportivos. Cada una de sus experiencias nos llena de orgullo a todos en la comunidad, pero de una manera especial a sus madres y padres que sienten que estn haciendo algo positivo en el futuro de sus hijos. Resulta extraordinario ver tambin a los maestros orgullosos acompaando a estos jvenes en la emotiva ceremonia que rene a tan extraordinarios jvenes hispanos de todo el estado. Una vez ms nos unimos a la celebracin de los xitos que cada vez ms jvenes estn logrando en sus estudios. En sus manos est nuestro maana.

Traditionally the month of May is dedicated to women, and we also join the celebration of women as mother, creator, companion, friend, inspiration, guardian angel, force, soil, sister, muse, daughter, grandmother, passion and many other facets that make them complex and fascinating beings. As a discreet but heartfelt tribute, we have always presented in our newspaper conversations with different Hispanic women in Delaware that come from different countries and experiences and that have allowed us to share a bit of their privacy and way of seeing the world. It is the tip of the iceberg of the great cultural and experiential richness of Hispanic women. We have chosen people who are not well-known or are simply working behind scenes building a better and more happy world for everybody they come into contact. These are not stories of heroines in the classical sense of history but in the small world of everyday life, and surely the poorly manner in their approach is due to our limited capacity for story-telling and not because they are not extraordinary stories that are in some ways also the history of thousands of anonymous women who never made themselves known. We wish we had more space in our pages to publicize many more formidable women who enrich our lives, sometimes with just a smile, a kind word or simply their presence. So thank you, women, for giving meaning to our lives and also so much joy. It is also an extraordinary opportunity to congratulate those hundreds of young Hispanics who last week were recognized for their academic, community, scientific, artistic or sporting merits. Each of their experiences makes all of us in the community very proud, but in a special way their mothers and fathers who feel that they are doing something positive for the future of their children. It is also extraordinary to see the proud teachers accompanying these young people in the emotional ceremony that brings together such extraordinary young Hispanics from all over the state. Once again we join in the celebration of the successes that increasingly more young people are achieving in their studies. Our tomorrow is in their hands.

Lo importante son los Nios

La nueva directora de la escuela primaria Lewis, Ariadna Castaeda convers con el Tiempo Hispano con el fin de aclarar algunas dudas que han surgido en la comunidad escolar con respecto a su nombramiento.
En esta conversacin Castaeda estuvo acompaada de la futura subdirectora Amy ONeill, quien hasta este momento ha sido maestra en esa escuela por 13 aos. Ariadna Castaeda naci en Panam donde vivi los primeros 29 aos de su vida. Estudi en la Universidad de Panam donde recibi el titulo de maestra de ingls como segundo idioma. Al venir a Los Estados Unidos en 1984, se dedic a la enseanza, primero en el distrito escolar de Milford, luego en el Cesar Rodney (Dover) donde fue la primera maestra en implementar el programa de ESL y ms tarde en Red Clay, todos en Delaware. Durante estos 28 aos Ariadna ha continuado su educacin logrando su maestra y la certificacin en educacin bsica, educacin secundaria y como administradora. En primer lugar preguntamos, por qu el cargo no fue puesto en licitacin u oferta pblica? Ariadna respondi que el cargo ha sido anunciado por amplias vas incluso nacionales y no se consigui nunca una respuesta, y entonces el distrito me pidi que ayudara y yo acept. Todos sabemos que se necesita a alguien que hable espaol en esa escuela. Est claro que solo hecho de hablar espaol no califica a nadie apara dirigir una escuela, as que le pedimos a Castaeda que nos contara sobre sus calificaciones y experiencia para ocupar este cargo. A lo que replic diciendo que, cuento con 28 aos de experiencia tanto de maestra como administradora, me inici trabajando con los muchachos ms difciles del estado en Cesar Rodney y all adquir muy buena experiencia. Nunca hubiera aceptado si no supiera que soy capaz de hacerlo bien, asegura. Haciendo un poco de historia, Castaeda cuenta que cuando surgi una oportunidad para un cargo para el distrito de Red Clay, Ariadna concurs y logr la posicin como supervisora del programa de enseanza de ingls como segundo idioma. Y es en esa posicin, que Ariadna viendo como los nios en Lewis estaban completamente marginados, propone la creacin de un programa de lenguaje dual de enseanza. Yo vengo de un sistema de lenguaje de enseanza dual. En esa poca, 1998, haba muchas dificultades para implementar un programa dual, la gente no era muy receptiva, de all que empezramos como una escuela Foreign language magnet y como no haba el da completo de Knder, lo abrimos y eso aument tremendamente la poblacin, pero claro porque ahora podan tener todo el da a los nios en la escuela y no porque les interesara el segundo lenguaje. Cuando se implementa el programa de lenguaje dual, Ariadna trabajaba con la directora con el fin de ir en la direccin correcta y el programa logra bastante xito. Pero algo sucedi y los resultados se derrumbaron. Qu pas? En parte se debe al cambio en la direccin, y, explica Castaeda, la ley (Neighborhood School Law) de distribucin en la escuelas en el 2005 cambi todo. Muchos estudiantes no pudieron seguir en esa escuela ya que fueron asignados a otras. Adems la falta de comunicacin entre los niveles altos de la administracin con la gente en las trincheras haciendo el trabajo y tratando de arreglar las cosas. Lo que sucedi es que cuando Lewis empez como una escuela magneto, nunca solicitaron tal
Ariadna Castaeda y Amy ONeill
categora al departamento de educacin para tener transporte y cuando lleg la ley no hubo los recursos para facilitar el transporte de los estudiantes que no vivan en los alrededores. Y eso, explica Ariadna, es algo que vamos a hacer ahora para que cualquiera que quiera venir a esta escuela lo pueda hacer, siempre que haya cupo. Pero esa ley fue la que caus todos los problemas? No, definitivamente no. Hay muchas otras cosas. Hemos tenido dificultades para tener un director en los ltimos aos. Un director que tenga no solo las calificaciones, sino lo ms importante, la pasin para sacar este programa adelante. Se hizo un gran esfuerzo de buscarlo a travs, incluso de peridicos como el New York Times o publicaciones especializadas en educacin, y a la gente que les interes finalmente no queran mudarse de otro estado. Y vamos a seguir buscando. Si es cierto que el programa fracasa cmo es que ahora le dan el premio a Ariadna para dirigir la escuela? A lo que responde con otra pregunta, Premio? Quien dice algo as no tiene ni idea del trabajo que implica sacar adelante un proyecto como ste. Es bien sabido que cuando el Departamento de Educacin declara a la escuela Lewis como parte del Partnership Zone le dieron al distrito una serie de alternativas para mejorar el desempeo de la escuela. La parte crtica del asunto es que inicialmente se pens en eliminar el programa dual, pero ante la insistencia de los padres finalmente se decidi mantenerlo y dedicarle recursos para que funcione exitosamente, y aqu es cuando surge la idea de llamar a Ariadna Castaeda, quien ha sido maestra por ms de tres dcadas y cuenta con una amplia experiencia administrando el programa bilinge del distrito para que asuma la direccin. Amy ONeill interviene para aclarar que en Lewis se respeta al nio bilinge y que no es cierto el rumor de que les han prohibido hablar en espaol en la escuela. Por otra parte explica que algunos profesores no van a volver el prximo ao, han sido involuntariamente transferidos, la mayora no son bilinges y no cumplen con el requisito que es fundamental para esta escuela. En todo caso todos los profesores tienen garantizado su trabajo en el distrito. Y los que se quedan tienen que trabajar en resolver los puntos que el Partnership Zone nos exige. Necesitamos a los maestros que sean parte activa para lograr la mejora. Ahora bien, lo que plantea Ariadna para mejorar la situacin bsicamente es lo siguiente, aunque su empleo comienza el 1 de julio, desde ya empezar construir los puentes para: En primer lugar recobrar la confianza de la comunidad: los padres y los maestros. Fortalecer el programa dual de enseanza. Es difcil encontrar maestros bilinges, de all que traigan cuatro de Espaa que van a ensear en espaol, ciencias, artes y matemticas, adems del espaol como idioma. Queremos abrir una nueva pgina con mayor participacin para poder cumplir con las exigencias del PZ. Necesitamos la ayuda de todos. Mantendremos una poltica de puertas abiertas, de comunicacin abierta con las familias y sobre todo mantener a los nios en primer lugar. Vamos a aprovechar otras experiencias exitosas, y usaremos los recursos que nos brinda ahora el estado a travs del programa de inmersin que va a implementar en todo el estado el departamento de educacin, es bueno tener al estado de nuestro lado, dicen. Sabemos que va a ser mucho trabajo, dice Ariadna, solo queremos que nos den la oportunidad de demostrar que podemos lograrlo. En un ao vamos a ser la mejor escuela del distrito, finaliza.

How Important are the Children
The new Director of Lewis elementary school, Ariadna Castaeda chatted with El Tiempo Hispano to clarify some doubts that have arisen in the school community regarding her appointment.
In this conversation Castaeda was accompanied by the future Deputy Director Amy ONeill, who so far has been that schools teacher for 13 years. Ariadna Castaeda was born in Panama, where she lived the first 29 years of her life. She studied at the University of Panama, where she received the title of teacher of English as a Second Language. When she came to the United States in 1984 she was devoted to teaching, first in the school district of Milford, then in Caesar Rodney (Dover) where she was the first teacher to implement the program of ESL and later in Red Clay, all in Delaware. During these 28 years Ariadna has continued her education obtaining her masters degree and certification in elementary education, secondary education and as an administrator. First of all we ask why was not her position put in bidding or tender? Ariadna replied that the position has been announced by ample even national means and never got an answer, and then the district asked me to help and I accepted. We all know that someone who speaks Spanish is needed at that school. The fact alone of speaking Spanish does not qualify anyone to manage a school, so we ask Castaeda to tell us about her qualifications and experience to undertake this position. To which she replied saying, I have 28 years of experience both as a teacher and an administrator, I started working with the most difficult state boys in Caesar Rodney and there I gained a very good experience. I never would have accepted if I didnt know that I am capable of doing it well, she assures us. Making a bit of history, Castaeda says that when an opportunity arose for a post for Red Clay district, Ariadna competed and won the position as supervisor of the teaching of English as a Second Language program. And it is in that position that Ariadna, seeing how children in Lewis were completely sidelined, proposes the creation of a dual language teaching program. I come from a dual language education system. At that time, 1998, there were many difficulties to implement a dual program, people were not very receptive, reason why we started as a Foreign language magnet school and since there was not a full-day of Kindergarten, we opened it, and that tremendously increased the population, but of course because they could now have the children at school all day and not because they were interested in the second language. When the dual language program was implemented, Ariadna worked with the Director in order to go in the right direction and the program achieved considerable success. But something happened and the results came crashing down. What happened? It was in part due to the change in direction, and Castaeda explains, enforcement of the law of distribution (Neighborhood School Law) in the schools in 2005 changed everything. Many students could not continue in that school because they were assigned to others. In addition the lack of communication between the high levels in the Administration with the people in the trenches doing the job and trying to fix things. What happened is that when Lewis began as a magnet school, they never requested such category to the Department of Education to have transport, and when the law came there were no resources to facilitate the transport of students not living in the surrounding area. And that, explains Ariadna, is something that we are going to do now so that anyone who wants to come to this school can do so, provided there is space. But that law was causing all the problems? No, definitely not. There are many other things. We have had difficulties to have a principal in recent years. A principal who has not just skills, but most importantly, the passion to take this agenda forward. A great effort was made to search for this person through even newspapers such as the New York Times or journals in education, and the people interested finally did not want to move from another state. And we are going to keep looking. If it is true that the program has failed, how come the prize is now given to Ariadna to direct the school? To which she responds with another question: prize? Anyone who says something like that has no idea of the work involved in taking forward a project like this. It is well known that when the Education Department declared the school Lewis as part of the Partnership Zone gave the district a number of alternatives to improve the performance of the school. The critical part of the subject is that it was initially thought to remove the dual program but due to the insistence of parents, it was finally decided to keep it and to dedicate resources to make it work successfully, and here is when the idea of calling Ariadna Castaeda to assume the direction arises, she who has been a teacher for more than three decades and has extensive experience managing the districts bilingual program. Amy ONeill intervenes to clarify that in Lewis the bilingual child is respected and that is not true the rumor that she has banned them to talk in Spanish in the school. On the other hand explains that some teachers will not return next year, they have been involuntarily transferred, most are not bilingual and do not comply with the requirement that is fundamental to this school. In any event all teachers have their jobs guaranteed in the district. And those who remain have to work to resolve the points which the partnership zone requires us to. We need teachers that are an active part to achieve improvement. Now, what Ariadna proposes to improve the situation basically is as follows, although her job starts on July 1st, she will start now building bridges for: First recover the trust of the community: parents and teachers. Strengthen the dual education program. It is difficult to find bilingual teachers, so they will bring four from Spain to teach in Spanish sciences,

arts and mathematics, as well as Spanish as a language. We want to open a new page with the largest participation in order to fulfill the requirements of the PZ. We need the help of everyone. We will maintain a policy of open doors, open communication with families and above all, keep children in the first place. We are going to take advantage of other successful experiences, and use the resources provided to us now by the state through the immersion program that will be implemented by the Department of Education statewide, is good to have the state on our side, they say. We know that it will be hard work, says Ariadna, we just want to be given the opportunity to demonstrate that we can do it. In one year we are going to be the best school in the district, she concludes.

Un Punto de Vista A Matter Of View
| Keyla I. Rivero-Rodriguez
Mam suficiente?
No estoy segura si han tenido la oportunidad de ver la cobertura fotogrfica de la revista Time del 21 de mayo, pero tengo que admitir que algo con respecto a ella no encaj conmigo. Me considero de mentalidad muy abierta y una persona con una actitud marcada de vive y deja vivir, pero a veces tengo que expresar mi opinin cuando algo no parece correcto y en este caso este artculo y la fotografa de la portada no estaban de acuerdo conmigo. Puedo entender que, como en todo, ahora hay una nueva moda pasajera sobre la crianza con apego (attachment parenting). Qu es crianza con apego? Lo que he ledo es que su filosofa, objetivo o visin es criar a hijos que se convertirn en adultos con una capacidad de empata y conexin altamente desarrollada. Elimina la violencia como un medio para criar a los hijos y en ltima instancia ayuda a prevenir la violencia en la sociedad en general. Hasta cierto punto estoy de acuerdo con esa afirmacin, pero en realidad suena a utopa. Como parte de mi investigacin, otra cosa que le al respecto fue que durante los primeros cinco aos de vida de un nio, bsicamente ellos gobiernan la vida de sus padres. Lo que significa que duermen en las camas de sus padres, son amamantados durante sus aos de infancia, sin escuchar una voz en tono elevado o experimentar disciplina a la manera antigua. Por favor, no me malinterpreten al expresar mi opinin, pero yo me considero una madre formidable que ha criado dos seres humanos maravillosos y exitosos. Pero la Crianza con Apego nunca debe verse como una escala en una boleta escolar para calificar el mejor estilo de crianza. Tengamos conciencia con respecto a las diferencias culturas y cmo esta declaracin expuesta en esta portada puede sacudir a algunas personas como me sacudi a m. Si observan la imagen de esta portada, muestra a una mujer con tipo de modelo, quien es delgada o algunos diran que est en forma, rubia y con aires de seguridad. Realmente no veo cmo ella representa la madre promedio o a las mujeres. Luego, este nio de 4 aos est montado en una silla chupando el pecho de su madre. Como madre, yo amamant a mis hijos hasta que tuvieron un ao de edad. Y hasta hoy recuerdo vvidamente el da cuando no necesitaron ms la lactancia materna. Fue en su propio momento y producto de su propia decisin, no la ma. Mi hija tena un ao de edad el da que ella decidi que ya no estaba en necesidad de mi alimentacin. Fue no slo un tiempo para alimentarse, sino un tiempo de conexin ms all de la comprensin, fue sublime en muchas formas. Hoy mi hija tiene 19 aos y est en la universidad y mi hijo tiene casi 22 aos y es un soldado del ejrcito, y ambos son seres humanos exitosos, respetuosos, dedicados, cuidadosos y amorosos. Siempre les habl con la verdad y a veces levant mi voz e incluso les di unas palmadas en el trasero cuando lo sent justificado, pero nunca al punto de abuso. En ese momento, s tuvo un significado importante y tanto ellos como yo aprendimos de ello. As que cuando leo Eres mam suficiente?... no puedo evitar decir, maldita sea, claro que soy! El carcter y los xitos de mis hijos hablan por s mismos. Cualquiera que sea su estilo de crianza, sepan que lo que funciona para algunos no funciona para otros, mantengan su punto y no permitan que los medios determinen cmo debe ser su estilo de crianza. Tengan en cuenta que lo que funciona para ustedes y sus familias es la hechura o el tejido de nuestra herencia y cultura.
Good Enough Mom?

I am not sure if you have had the opportunity to view the photo cover of Time magazine for May 21st, but I have to admit that something about it didnt set well with me. I consider myself very open minded and very much live and let live type attitude person, but at times I have to voice my opinion when something doesnt seem right and in this case this article and cover photo did not agree with me. I can understand that like everything, right now there is a new fad about attachment parenting. What is attachment parenting? What I read is that its philosophy, goal or vision is to raise children who will become adults with a highly developed capacity for empathy and connection. It eliminates violence as a means for raising children, and ultimately helps to prevent violence in society as a whole. To some extend I agree with that statement, but in reality it sounds like utopia. In doing my research, other thing I read in this matter was that for the first five years of a childs life, they basically rule their parents life. Meaning that they sleep in their parents beds, they are breast feed for years into toddlerhood, no voice raising or disciplined the old fashioned way. Please do not get me wrong when I voice my opinion, but I consider myself an awesome mother who has raised two wonderful and successful human beings. But Attachment Parenting should never be viewed as a report card grading scale for the best parenting style practice. Lets be conscious about cultures and how this cover statement can ruffle someones feathers just as it did to me. If you look at the imagery of the cover, it shows a model type woman, who is skinny or some would say fit, blonde with an air about her. I truly dont see how she represents the average mother or women. Then, this 4 year old child is on top of a chair sucking on his mothers breast. As a mother, I breast feed my children until they were a year old. And till this day I vividly remember the day when they were done breast feeding. It was in their own timing and at their own choice, not mine. My daughter was one year old the day she decided she no longer was in need of my nourishment. It was not only a time to feed, but a time to bond beyond comprehension; it was sublime in many ways. T oday, my daughter is 19 and in college and my son is almost 22 and an Army soldier and they are both successful, respectful, dedicated, caring and loving human beings. I always spoke the truth to them and sometimes I raised my voice and even spanked them when I felt warrant, but never ever to the point of abuse. At the time, it did make a point and they and I learned from it all. So when I read Are you Mom enough?... I cant help to say, damn right I am! My kids character and successes speak for themselves. Whatever your parenting style know that what works for some does not work for others, keep at it and dont allow media dictate how your parenting should style should be. Keep in mind that what works for you and your family is the make-up or the fabric of our heritage and culture.

AUstErity, FAMily, AND thE EcONOMy
When the Left takes a strident position on any given issue, thats a clear signal that the policy they dislike is gaining momentum. Take the recent liberal apoplexy over reducing the size and scope of government is often summarized as austerity. People in nations around the world, from Greece to Spain to the U.S., are bearing the brunt of massive over-spending by those they have elected. Reducing this spending and the dependency on government it has created - even by the most passive means, such as reducing the growth rate of government outflows - is giving liberal writers the vapors. Joel Brinkley, formerly of the New York Times and now a journalism prof at Stanford, tells us that imposing austerity now is utterly foolhardy -- in fact, just plain stupid. Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman writes that while Fortunately ... there was some passive fiscal tightening as the Obama stimulus faded out, but no wholesale shift to austerity. And former Secretary of Labor in the Clinton Administration, Robert Reich (now a professor of public policy at UC-Berkeley), calls for rejecting austerity economics for now, while at the same time demanding that corporations and the rich pay their fair share of the cost of keeping everyone else afloat. To summarize, in the words of Stanford economist John Taylor, The proposals called austerity are characterized (by the Left) as going back to the Stone Age, with the connotation of drastic, draconian, sharp, sudden reductions in spending. Why these hysterical and near-panicked characterizations? Because Left-leaning economists recognize, as even Reich admits, America has a long-term budget deficit thats scary. So does Europe. As a result, they know that policymakers and those who elect them are at last grappling with the hard choices needed to rein-in Washingtons spending. The consequences of continued fiscal profligacy are profound. Michael Cembalest, Chairman of Market and Investment Strategy for J.P. Morgan Asset Management, wrote recently in Forbes, Financial markets remain concerned about the ability and willingness of the US and Europe to tackle their respective fiscal challenges ... Downgrades, government shutdown rumors and political impasse on deficit reduction have not lost their ability to negatively affect equity markets, business activity and confidence. In laymans language, this means that unless Western governments - led by our own - take steps to curb the growth rate of spending and reduce outlays in areas where calamitous over-spending is obvious (e.g., archaicly-formulated entitlement programs), any nascent recovery will collapse. Shawn Tully, a senior editor at large at Fortune magazine, argues that lowering spending right now -- as long as the downward slope is gradual -- will do nothing to choke economic growth, and could even enhance it. And the anti-austerity solution, raising spending immediately, then reversing course at some future date, will not lift GDP, even temporarily, and threatens to further hobble deeply indebted nations. As Tully goes on to note, The distinguished crowd that condemns austerity champions more spending instead. Once again, the extra dollars need to come from somewhere else. If theyre borrowed at home, they lower private investment. If theyre borrowed from abroad, they lower exports or raise imports. Increasing federal spending and raising taxes on any person or business doing even modestly well is a sure-fire way of forestalling the growth Americas economy and her families so urgently need. To foster growth, we can lower the rate of federal spending, modernize entitlement programs, provide appropriate tax incentives for firms to expand and hire, and liberate business from undue regulations. Most importantly, we can and must strengthen that single most significant engine of economic productivity, the family. Family dissolution erodes economic growth, and the sharp decline in population growth has a negative affect on productivity. Human capital and labor combined with physical capital each contribute roughly equal parts to growth, write Drs. Pat Fagan and Henry Potrykus of the Marriage and Religion Research Institute. Increasingly it has been hoped by many that physical capital may substitute for any decline in populations and human capitals contribution to growth. However, this has not been attained historically. Elsewhere, they have written, Government revenues come from the taxation of our economy. Our economic growth is and will continue to be a fraction of that of the pre-1960s era because of the breakdown in marriage. All the while, more citizens are pushed into dependency on this government, again because of marriage breakdown. Marriage. Children. Family. Economic growth. Fiscal discipline and spending reduction. All are indispensable ingredients to the professed goal of both Right and Left: Prosperity.
Rob Schwarzwalder Senior Vice-President Family Research Council
sENAtOr cArPEr: i AM A cONcErNED AMEricAN VEtErAN. As Commander of American Legion Post 28 in Oak Orchard, DE, I requested an interview with Senator Tom Carper for the Delaware Legionnaire Newspaper. With 3200 veterans and 5500 total members, our Post 28 is the third largest in the nation. The interview, requested a month in advance, was scheduled for 3:30 pm on April 6. Close to 4:00 pm I received a call saying that the Senator was running late but was en route to his office so we would begin the interview by phone. The connection was poor, so we had to wait until he arrived. I was told I would have 5 minutes with the Senator. I opened the discussion with questions about Veterans cuts and benefits. I soon sensed that this wasnt something the Senator wanted to discuss. Even though he is a veteran, Sen. Carper does not support the Flag Desecration Amendment and did not want to discuss that either. He and his aides exhibited frustration with me. After five minutes I was dismissed and given a stack of papers with basic public information and shown the door. Before I left, Senator Carper asked where my tape recorder was that a real reporter would have a recording device. I reminded him that I was a Veteran looking for answers, not a professional reporter. I came to his office to address some issues of concern to the Veterans of Delaware. Since I wasnt able to ask all my questions, I will list them here: 1. Where do you stand on the reduction of forces to 400,000while concurrently the federal governments budget (or lack of one) is growing at an alarming rate? 2. Why hasnt the Senate proposed a solution to rising gasoline prices, especially as we enter tourism seasonone of the few businesses still thriving in Delaware? 3. Do you support the northern connection of the Keystone XL pipeline? If not, why not? 4. You and Senator Coons voted yes on a bill that will allow the federal government to imprison American citizens without due process. Why do you support this violation of our Constitutional rights? Senator Carper: I am a concerned American Veteran. If you dont consider me due respect as one of your constituentsand I represent many of my fellow veteranswhy should we support you? James H.

Para mi es darse, el sentirse plena, realizada en la vocacin que sea. Saber que la vida vale la pena, que hay quererse a s misma. La mujer latina es muy luchadora, fuerte y depende mucho de ella el funcionamiento de la familia, la fe. Las mujeres latinas tienen mucha fortaleza para entregarse al trabajo, a ayudar al esposo y a la familia. Por eso son admirables. Para mi venir a Delaware ha sido abrirme a un mundo nuevo, una cosa hermosa el conocer otra lengua, me encanta el ingls , me ha abierto a otro mundo completamente, me siento como si hubiese venido como una rosa en botn y aqu me hubiese abierto, sa ha sido mi experiencia personal, finaliza la hermana Carmen.

HABLO ESPAOL
Life is devotion
At the heart of Wilmington, near the financial district, live 7 sisters dedicated to prayer and meditation, following the example of their orders founder.
Sister Carmen, without abandoning her permanent smile, greets us in a cozy room in the house of the Order of Saint Clare of this city. This order had its origins in the 13th century with Saint Clare of Assisi, a contemporary of Francis of Assisi, who being of noble birth renounced all of her possessions and marriage to devote her life to Christ, leaving her home one night to never return. The experience of Carmen, who is part of a family of fifteen siblings, has some similarities with that of the saint when she went to the convent where her older sister had already retired and decided to become a nun and never returned to her parents home. It has been too many years since then, she says with a sly smile. What led her to the decision to become a nun? We asked and she answered, I come from a very humble family, peasants from Michoacn and one day I saw a nun dressed as I am now, and I was very shocked. I said to myself, she looks so beautiful; I want to be like her. I never saw her again, she continues, I did not know where did she come from, or where she had gone, but at that moment I realized that that life called me, ever since I went with other girls to take flowers to the Virgin in the month of May, after the first communion and dressed in white. What happened next? When I was 12 my sister went to the convent and I visited her often, although from the outside it seemed a dark and scary place, I would die here, I thought. Then one day I was invited to a vocational meeting and upon entering the convent I was impressed about how beautiful it was, with its halls, its gardens, it was very nice. Carmen tells us that experience made her very happy, and seeing the faces of tranquility and joy of the sisters who were there made her decide to be like them, to look for their secret. It was not an easy decision for her family, but there she stayed, with her 16 years and all of her life ahead. The Capuchin Poor Clares in Mexico in 1986 received a visit from a cappuccino from Wilmington, Delaware, Brother Ronald Giannone, who went there to invite them to come and be the strength of his ministry with the poor, Without the power of prayer we are social workers and nothing else the cappuccino told them with great conviction, so after some hesitation eight sisters decided to come and have stayed here ever since. And how is your life now? Very quiet, I am happy and most of all we live a life of dedication to God and prayer for the salvation of souls. Our mission is to praise God day and night, going seven times to the chapel to pray. The day begins at 4:45 and from there the prayer, personal meditation and work fill the day. They cook for the poor, who are served in different ministries shelters, sew the habits of Capuchin friars, wash and iron the tablecloths used at a charity center. Our contact with the world, says the Sister, is with people who come to visit and those who call asking for prayers for the needs they have, problems in marriage, the children on drugs and so on. What is for you the main problem of young ladies today? The personal void and not having a meaning in their lives; the lack of self-esteem. They have lost their values and spiritual life; that is why they encounter problems, find no support and fall into drugs. Everything comes from the functioning of families that would not provide the necessary spiritual foundations. What is most important thing for you of being a woman? For me is to be able to give myself, feeling full, fulfilled in any vocation. Knowing that life is worth living, knowing one must love oneself. The Latina woman is a fighter, strong and a lot of the functioning of the family depends on her, faith. Latina women have a lot of strength to devote to work, to help the husband and family. Because of that, they are admirable. For me to come to Delaware has been to open up to new world; it was a beautiful thing to learn another language, I love English, I have opened myself to another world completely, I feel like Id come as a pink button and here I had opened, that has been my personal experience, concludes Sister Carmen.
La Vida es entrega
En el corazn de Wilmington, muy cerca del distrito financiero, viven 7 hermanas dedicadas a la oracin y el recogimiento, siguiendo el ejemplo de la fundadora de su congregacin religiosa.
La hermana Carmen, sin desprenderse de su permanente sonrisa, nos atiende en una acogedora habitacin de la casa de las religiosas clarisas capuchinas de esta ciudad. Esta orden tuvo sus orgenes en el siglo 13 con santa Clara de Ass, una contempornea de Francisco de Ass, que siendo de origen noble renunci a todas sus pertenencias y al matrimonio para dedicar su vida a Cristo y se fue una noche de su casa para nunca ms volver. La experiencia de Carmen, quien es parte de una familia de quince hermanos, tiene algunas semejanzas con la de la santa, cuando ella fue al convento donde su hermana mayor ya se haba retirado y decidi tomar los hbitos y nunca ms volvi a casa de sus padres. De eso han pasado ya muchos aos, cuenta con una pcara sonrisa. Qu la llev a tomar la decisin de ser monja? Le preguntamos y respondi, Yo vengo de una familia muy humilde, campesinos de Michoacn, y un da vi a una religiosa vestida como lo estoy yo ahora, y me impact mucho. Me deca a m misma, qu hermosa se ve, quiero ser como ella. No la vi nunca mas, contina, no supe ni de dnde haba venido, ni dnde se haba ido, pero en ese momento me di cuenta que me llamaba esa vida, desde que iba con otras nias a llevarle flores a la Virgen en el mes de mayo, despus de la primera comunin y vestidas de blanco. Y qu pas despus? Cuando tena 12 aos mi hermana se fue al convento y yo la visitaba con frecuencia, aunque por fuera me pareca un lugar tenebroso y oscuro, aqu yo me muero, pensaba. Hasta que un da me invitaron a un encuentro vocacional, y al entrar al convento me impresion lo hermoso que era, con sus pasillos, sus huertos; era muy bonito. Carmen cuenta que esa experiencia la hizo sentir muy feliz y el ver la cara de tranquilidad y alegra de las hermanas que estaban all le hizo decidir ser como ellas, buscar su secreto. No fue una decisin fcil para su familia, pero all se qued con sus 16 aos y toda la vida por delante. Las hermanas Clarisas capuchinas en Mxico recibieron en el ao 1986 la visita de un capuchino de Wilmington, Delaware, el hermano Ronald Giannone, quien fue a invitarlas a venir a ser la fuerza de su ministerio con los pobres, Sin la fuerza de la oracin somos trabajadores sociales y nada ms les dijo con convencimiento el capuchino, as que tras algunas dudas, ocho hermanas se decidieron a venir y se han quedado ac desde entonces. Y cmo es su vida ahora? Muy tranquila, soy feliz y sobre todo vivimos una vida de entrega a Dios y de oracin por la salvacin de las almas. Nuestra misin es alabar a Dios de da y de noche, vamos siete veces a la capilla a orar. El da comienza a la 4 y 45 y de all la oracin, la meditacin personal y el trabajo llenan el da. Cocinan para los pobres que son atendidos en los diferentes albergues de los ministerios, cosen los hbitos de los hermanos capuchinos, lavan y planchan los manteles que se usan en un centro de beneficencia. Nuestro contacto con el mundo, dice la hermana, es con las personas que vienen a visitarnos y aquellas que llaman por telfono pidiendo oraciones por las necesidades que tienen, los problemas en el matrimonio, los hijos en la drogas, etc.. Cul es para usted el principal problema de las jvenes de ahora? El vaco personal y no tener un sentido en su vida, la falta de autoestima. Han perdido sus valores y su vida espiritual, por eso encuentran problemas y no encuentran apoyo y caen en la drogas. Todo viene del funcionamiento de las familias que no sientan las bases espirituales necesarias. Qu es lo ms importante para usted de ser mujer?

educacin education
Hay que encontrarse a s misma

Para Zenaida Otero 1966 es el punto de partida de su alegra y tambin de su aoranza, ya que con solo 9 aos tuvo que abandonar, con muy pocas cosas materiales pero con su familia completa, la isla de Cuba.
Una cuantas dcadas ms tarde se siente afortunada. Tanto, que a veces conversando con mis hijos les digo que tengo que pellizcarme para darme cuenta que es verdad que le puedan pasar a uno cosas tan buenas, dice sonriente en esta maana de mayo. Por ejemplo, al conseguir una beca para estudiar en la universidad Northwestern (una universidad privada de investigacin) en Evanston, Illinois, cuando se fue por primera vez de su casa para estudiar ingeniera qumica. Al finalizar se vino a la universidad de Delaware donde exista el primer centro de catlisis de los Estados Unidos. Algo que de verdad me interesaba mucho y tiene que ver con la manera de lograr que un proceso se haga mas rpido. Zenaida es una destacada ingeniero qumico que ha dedicado cinco aos de su vida a la investigacin de nuevos materiales con la empresa Dupont, y ms tarde a la docencia. En Dupont se especializ en el tema de la transferencia de masa, calor y momento que tiene que ver con los diseos para intercambiar el calor y los procesos para hacerlos ms eficientes. Tambin trabaj en el desarrollo de la Licra que tantas aplicaciones tiene en la vida actual, sobre todo en la ropa femenina. Oh, qu sera de la moda sin la licra!!! En esa poca Zenaida era la nica mujer en la estacin experimental; de hecho, la primera en ser empleada all. Era un territorio masculino, sin lugar a dudas, pero ella se abri paso con empeo en un mundo diferente, haciendo uso del talento por las ciencias. Luego de casarse decidi dedicarse a otro trabajo para poder brindarles ms tiempo a sus hijos, y de all que se enfocara en la enseanza y a la consultora en ingeniera, lo que le dio mucha flexibilidad para dedicarse a sus dos hijos. La mayor es abogada en New York y el menor es especialista en arquitectura de software para IBM en Washington. Le toc asumir un gran reto en 1992, cuando Henry Rowan y su esposa Betty Rowan donaron $100 millones a Glassboro State College, el cual fue rebautizado Rowan University en su honor, de disear la escuela de ingeniera, su currculo y su edificio concebido especialmente para adaptarse a la enseanza de esa materia. Fue una gran oportunidad, recuerda. Se considera afortunada de conocer gente valiosa que la ha nutrido, enseado e inspirado. De all que dedique un buen tiempo a ser voluntaria, por ejemplo con el Latinoamerican and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions abriendo las puertas de los estudiantes de Amrica Latina para que logren su acreditacin en Estados Unidos y Europa. Si hay algo que llena profundamente a Zenaida es colaborar con Girls Inc. Cuando veo a esas nias, me veo a m misma hace 40 aos, con el mismo deseo de superarse, de aprender, de tener a alguien que te muestre el potencial que tienes para lograr lo que quieres hacer. Girls Inc. les da la capacidad de soar un mundo diferente, y eso es muy importante. No olvidemos que las jvenes en general tienen grandes retos, y el ms importante es identificarse a s mismas en un mar de mensajes contradictorios, positivos y negativos, en todo caso confusos y en bombardeo permanente. La joven hispana suma adems la lengua y las diferencias culturales, por eso queremos trabajar con las familias, explica Zenaida, para que les llegue la ayuda a estas nias. Yo veo el futuro con ilusin de que la tecnologa estar al servicio de una mejor calidad de vida y donde cada persona pueda llegar a lo mximo que quiera y pueda alcanzar sin lmites de sexo u origen. Veo a la mujer jugando un papel fundamental, porque se consigue a si misma. Creo en la diversidad que enriquece y que todos traemos algo a la mesa.
One must find oneself

For Zenaida Otero 1966 is the point of departure of her joy and also her longing, as with only 9 years she had to leave, with very few material things but with her entire family, the island of Cuba.
A few decades later she feels lucky. So lucky that sometimes conversing with my kids I tell them that I have to pinch myself to realize that it is true that so many good things can really happen to us, says smiling this morning of May. For example, to get a scholarship to study at the private research University of Northwestern in Evanston, Illinois, when she left home for the first time to study chemical engineering. When finished, she came to the University of Delaware, where the first Center of catalysis of the United States was. . Something that really interested me very much and has to do with how to make a process more fast. Zenaida is an outstanding chemical engineer who has devoted five years of her life to the research of new materials with the DuPont Company, and later teaching. In DuPont she specialized in the subject of mass, heat and movement transfer related to the designs to exchange heat and processes to make them more efficient. She also worked on the development of Lycra which has so many applications in life today, especially in female clothing. Oh, what would be the fashion without Lycra!! At the time Zenaida was the only woman at the experimental station; in fact, the first to be employed there. It was a male territory, without a doubt, but she made her way with determination in a different world, making use of her talent in science. After marrying she decided to work on something else in order to provide more time to her children, therefore focusing on education and engineering consultancy, which gave her flexibility to devote herself to her two kids. The oldest is a lawyer in New York and the youngest is a specialist in software architecture for IBM in Washington. She had to assume a great challenge in 1992, when Henry Rowan and his wife Betty Rowan pledged $100 million to Glassboro State College, which was renamed Rowan University in their honor, to design the engineering school, its curriculum and its building specifically conceived to adapt to the teaching of this subject matter. It was a great opportunity, she recalls. She considers herself lucky to have met valuable people that has nurtured, taught and inspired her. That is why she devotes a deal of her time to volunteering, for example with the Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions, opening the doors to Latin American students so that they achieve their accreditation in the United States and Europe. If there is something that fills deeply to Zenaida is collaborating with Girls Inc. When I see these girls, I see myself 40 years ago, with the same desire to overcome, to learn, to have someone to show you the potential you have to achieve what you want. Girls Inc. gives them the ability to dream of a different world, and that is very important. Let us not forget that young women in general have great challenges, and the most important one is to identify themselves in a sea of conflicting, positive and negative messages always confusing and in permanent bombing. The Hispanic young also adds the language and cultural differences, that is why want to work with families, explains Zenaida, so help reach to these girls. I see the future with enthusiasm, thinking that technology will be at the service of a better quality of life and where every person can reach the maximum that they want and can do it without limits on sex or origin. I see women play a fundamental role, because she finds herself. I believe in the enriching diversity and that we all bring something to the table.

Seventh Aspirantes Graduation

The seventh graduation of Aspirantes students of the Saturday ASPIRA Academy DE was held last May 5th at the University of Delaware.
This year, the ASPIRA clubs in the different schools already add up to 150 students actively working to maintain these young people in the schools and help them continue with their higher education, while 39 students participated in the Saturday academy to prepare for entering the university. We have grown to become responsible young adults that will go on to achieve great things in life. Each of us has a plan to become something greater in the future. This personal growth is a momentous milestone in our lives. The coaches and volunteers of ASPIRA have assisted us in reaching new heights for the future. My peers aspire to become engineers, nurses, and other professions. We have all waited twelve years to take the next step in our lives to become college students bringing us one step closer to our ultimate goal, said Tiana McKim from Pencader Charter School & ASPIRA class of 2012. ASPIRA has become an excellent tool for me as a student to prepare for college life. ASPIRA has helped us imagine the greatness that we can achieve in the future. I am a proud Aspirante and I wish to congratulate my fellow Aspirantes on all of their accomplishments. I hope that you all continue to imagine your successful future and always aspire to achieve above your expectations said Tiana McKim, I feel part of a great family. Dr. Jaime Rivera, President of the Board ASPIRA Las Americas Academy told El Tiempo Hispano that he is very proud of the work that ASPIRA is doing with high school students and all of the students and coaches that have taken part in the program this past year. As you can see, there is a tremendous need in our community for the work both in schools through ASPIRA Clubs and Advisors and the Saturday Academy that ASPIRA DE is doing. I predict that within five years, the Academy will have a home in the school. It is a shame however that few funders are supporting the kinds of programing that ASPIRA does in schools. It is a problem in other states as well. But AOD continues to work hard to secure the funding needed to run these programs. ASPIRA of Delaware, Inc. is a nonprofit organization devoted solely to the education and leadership development of Latino youth. ASPIRA has provided half of a million youth with the personal resources they need to remain in school and contribute to their community. ASPIRA of Delaware is a member of the ASPIRA Association, the largest national Latino organization in the USA, serving the Latino community since 1961 working at the grass-roots level to provide programs that encourage Hispanic students to stay in school, prepare them to succeed in the educational arena, develop their leadership skills, and to serve their community. Margaret Rivera, President of the Board of ASPIRA DE said that These Aspirantes are the future leaders and already demonstrate the maturity, leadership and wisdom to lead. The ASPIRA coaches and club advisors are at the heart of the movement and always say presente. Their ability to make a difference and to care speaks volumes to the success of our programs.

La Tecnologa de Audio Personal
Segn los padres, la educacin sobre el uso seguro de la tecnologa de audio debe ser una prioridad importante de salud.
Una encuesta de ASHA muestra la gran preocupacin de los padres sobre la manera en que los jvenes escuchan la tecnologa de audio personal Setenta y cinco por ciento de los padres indican que ensear a los nios la manera segura de escuchar la tecnologa de audio personal debera ser una prioridad importante de salud, segn una nueva encuesta en lnea encargada por la Asociacin Americana del Habla, Lenguaje y Audicin (ASHA-American Speech-Language-Hearing Association). Mil padres con hijos de 18 aos de edad o menores en el hogar participaron en la encuesta el pasado mes de marzo. Se defini en la encuesta la tecnologa de audio personal como aparatos con los que se usan audfonos o mini auriculares (reproductores IPod, otros reproductores MP3, telfonos celulares, computadoras y artefactos similares). Crux Research cre el contenido de la encuesta con la asesora de ASHA y la compaa de sondeos Toluna administr la encuesta. Los resultados completos de la encuesta se encuentran en www.listentoyourbuds.org/ASHA-Poll/ El llamado de los padres para que se d prioridad en el campo de la salud a la educacin sobre el uso seguro de la tecnologa de audio aparentemente surge de otros resultados de la encuesta, como los siguientes: El 42% de todos los padres que participaron en la encuesta opina que sus hijos usan la tecnologa de audio personal a un volumen que podra ser nocivo para la salud auditiva. Ms de la mitad de los padres que tienen hijos entre 13 y 18 aos de edad y casi la mitad de los padres que tienen hijas de las mismas edades comparten esta preocupacin. El 43% de los padres que tienen hijos entre 13 y 18 aos de edad y el 42% de los padres que tienen hijas de las mismas edades indican que sus hijos usan la tecnologa de audio personal con ms frecuencia de lo que sus padres preferiran. El 84% de todos los padres que participaron en la encuesta indica que les preocupa que el mal uso de la tecnologa de audio personal est perjudicando la audicin de los nios en general. De este porcentaje, casi el 50% indica hallarse muy preocupado o en extremo preocupado por ello. Mientras tanto, y por la misma razn, ms de la mitad de los padres procedentes de minoras que participaron en la encuesta indica hallarse muy preocupado o en extreme preocupado por la salud auditiva de sus hijos (este resultado es ms marcado entre los padres hispanos con un 63% y le siguen los padres afroamericanos con un 50%). En promedio, los padres opinan que los nios deben tener alrededor de once aos antes de poder usar sin supervisin la tecnologa de audio personal. Hace tiempo que sabemos que es posible sufrir prdida de audicin debido al ruido, causada por el uso frecuente, prolongado y a excesivo volumen de los aparatos de audio, indica la presidenta de ASHA Shelly Chabon, PhD, CCC-SLP. Sin embargo, es muy escasa la documentacin que se concentra en las opiniones de mam y pap sobre los malos hbitos de escucha. Nuestra encuesta indica claramente que los padres no slo se preocupan sino que, adems, opinan que la educacin sobre el uso seguro de la tecnologa de audio debe ser una prioridad importante de salud. Se darn a conocer los resultados de la encuesta la vspera de los conciertos sobre los buenos hbitos de escucha que se celebrarn en la escuela primaria P.S. 003 Charrette Elementary, en la ciudad de Nueva York, el viernes 4 de mayo como parte de la campaa de difusin de ASHA Escucha a los Taponcitos Amistosos (www.listentoyourbuds.org). La campaa de los Taponcitos Amistosos ha encabezado con originalidad los esfuerzos por crear conciencia sobre el uso seguro de la tecnologa de audio personal para proteger la audicin. Esta campaa ha visitado escuelas de costa a costa con msicos que emplean medios entretenidos y divertidos para hacer llegar a los estudiantes mensajes sencillos, como baja el volumen, que son muy importantes para la salud auditiva. Bongiovi Acoustics, una compaa de audio de vanguardia dedicada a la salud auditiva de los jvenes, es el patrocinador ms reciente de la campaa Escucha a los Taponcitos Amistosos. Entre otros patrocinadores, se encuentran: Califone International, Consumer Electronics Association, Educational Audiology Association, Music Teachers National Association, National Association
for Music Education, National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts, National Institute On Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, Parents Choice Foundation, Recording Industry Association of America y Tune-A-Fish Records. Adems, ms de una docena de miembros del Congreso, tanto demcratas como republicanos, participan como copresidentes honorarios de la campaa.
Personal Audio Technology

Safe Listening Education Needs to Be a Major Health Priority, Parents Say
ASHA Poll Shows Great Parental Concern About How The Young Are Listening to Personal Audio Technology. Seventy-five percent of parents say teaching children how to use personal audio technology safely should be a major health priority, according to results of a new online poll commissioned by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). One thousand parents with children age 18 and under at home took the poll this past March. It defined personal audio technology as devices where headphones or ear buds are used (iPods, other MP3 players, cell phones, computers, and the like). Crux Research created the poll content in consultation with ASHA, while the survey firm Toluna fielded the poll. Complete poll results are available at www.listentoyourbuds.org/ASHA-Poll/. The parental call to make safe listening education a major health priority apparently stems from other poll findings like these: 42% of all parents polled feel their children use personal audio technology at volume levels that could potentially harm their hearing; the same worry is shared by more than half of the parents of boys ages 13-18 and nearly of half of the parents of girls the same ages. 43% of parents of boys ages 13-18 and 42% of parents of girls the same ages say their children use personal audio technology more often than they like. 84% of all parents polled say they are concerned that misuse of personal audio technology is damaging the hearing of children in general; within that group of parents, nearly 50% say they are extremely or very concerned; meanwhile, for the same reason, more than half of all minority parents polled say they are extremely or very concerned for the hearing of their children (this finding is most pronounced among Hispanic parents, 63%; African American are next, 50%). On average, parents think children should be about age 11 before they have unsupervised use of personal audio technology. We have long been aware of the potential for noise-induced hearing loss caused by the use of excessive volume and frequent and prolonged listening time, ASHA President Shelly Chabon, PhD, CCC-SLP says. However, there is a dearth of documentation focused on moms and dads opinions about poor listening habits. Our poll indicates clearly that parents are not only concerned but, further, believe safe listening should be a major health education priority. The poll results are being released on the eve of safe-listening concerts that will be held at P.S. 003 Charrette Elementary in New York City on Friday, May 4, as part of the outreach of ASHAs Listen To Your Buds campaign (www.listentoyourbuds.org). An original leader raising the importance of using personal audio technology safely to ensure hearing protection, ASHA has brought its Buds campaign to schools coast-to-coast. Buds concerts feature musicians who employ entertaining and engaging ways to deliver simple, but important, hearing health messages like keep the volume down. Bongiovi Acoustics, a cutting edge audio company dedicated to the hearing health of the young, is the newest sponsor of the Listen To Your Buds campaign. Other sponsors include Califone International, Consumer Electronics Association, Educational Audiology Association, Music Teachers National Association, National Association for Music Education, National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts, National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, Parents Choice Foundation, Recording Industry Association of America, and Tune-A-Fish Records. In addition, more than a dozen members of Congress, Democrats and Republicans, serve as honorary campaign co-chairs.

La vida es una Aventura

Imposible sonrer ms y transmitir ms alegra por la vida, siente uno cuando comparte con Balbina Ventura, la Secretaria Ejecutiva del programa de ELL del distrito escolar de Red Clay en Wilmington.
Balbina naci en Cotu, uno de los pueblos ms antiguos de la Amrica en la Repblica Dominicana, y se vino a Delaware siguiendo a su familia. Delaware fue un cambio radical, saludable, importante en mi vida cuenta sonriendo como siempre, vine de New York en el 95 despus de una separacin marital, y ya en un ao pude comprar mi casita, algo que no hubiese podido lograr en New York, cuenta. Delaware me brind un nuevo inicio fresco, de acuerdo a mis ingresos, he estado muy bien aqu. Delaware es un lugar tranquilo para criar a la familia, y adems hay oportunidades, dice Balbina. Despus de 14 aos me encanta lo que hago y tengo la idea de que tengo una comunicacin con mi raza hispana, eso es muy valioso para m. Balbina tambin forma parte activa de su parroquia San Pablo, donde es mi ministra de la palabra y la eucarista. No es extrao verla en las misas en espaol leyendo los evangelios. Creo en la fe que le da vida al espritu, creo en la felicidad, para m es poder despertar cada maana y saber que hice algo bueno el da anterior. Entiende Balbina la vida como la suma de las cosas pequeas que te dan alegra. Creo que toda mujer debe seguir luchando y enriquecer la aventura de su vida. Creo que todos podemos ver cambios y hacer algo diferente con nuestras vidas. No hay nada que una mujer no pueda lograr si se lo propone, dice a manera de despedida.

Life is an Adventure
Impossible to smile more and convey more joy for life, feels one when sharing with Balbina Ventura, the Executive Secretary of the program of ELL of Red Clays school district in Wilmington.
Balbina was born in Cotu, one of the more ancient towns of the Americas in the Dominican Republic, and she came to Delaware following her family. Delaware was a radical, healthy, major change in my life says smiling as always, I came from New York in 1995 after a marital separation and in one year I could buy my house, something that I could have not achieved in New York, she says. Delaware offered me a new fresh start, according to my means; Ive been very well here. Delaware is a quiet place to raise a family, and there are also opportunities, said Balbina. After 14 years I love what I do and I have the feeling that I communicate with my Hispanic race, which is very valuable for me. Balbina is also very active in her parish, San Pablo, where she is Minister of the Word and the Eucharist; it is not strange to see her in the Spanish mass reading the Gospels. I believe in the faith that gives life to the spirit, I believe in happiness, to me is to wake up every morning knowing that I did something good the day before. Balbina understands life as the sum of the little things that give you happiness. I think that every woman should keep fighting and enrich the adventure that is her life. I think that we all can see changes and do something different with our lives, there is nothing that a woman cannot achieve if she commits to it, she said by way of farewell.

The celebration began Friday evening on Legislative Mall with a musical concert from the U.S. Navy Sea Chanters, bungee jumping, a bicycle entertainment show, rock climbing and a carnival for children of all ages to enjoy. A fireworks show over Legislative Hall was a spectacular finale to the first night. Maypole dancing was the event of the day for Saturday, as well as the largest parade ever in the city of Dover. Local artisans and craftspeople could be found on Legislative Mall and The Green Saturday giving demonstrations in sewing, woodworking and basket weaving. Kent County artists could be found in Dover Sunday afternoon capturing some of the citys historic landmarks on canvas with oil paints, pastels and watercolors during the Plein Air Paint Out competition.
