MARCH ON WASHINGTON 50TH

YEAR DEMONSTRATION CALLS FOR EQUALITY!

The March on Washington D.C. by the fol-lowers of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.numbering over 250,000, fifty years agomay not have realized the impact their ac-tions would have on the United Stateswhen they assembled in protest of thegreat racial and economic divide in our na-tion. They were “Dreamers” also! Theyenvisioned a greater nation with less racialbigotry and more economic opportunity foreveryone, re-gardless of thecolor of one’sskin. The“Dream” liveson in our nationas we strugglewith our racialattitudes, divi-sive actions andcontinuation ofdiscrimination inthe workplace,schools, segre-gation in hous-ing, predatoryand biasedlending practices, redlining, exploitation ofnon-citizens in employment and genderdiscrimination. We beg the question, “Arewe better off than we were 50 years ago?

It is a matter of opinion! The March onWashington August 28th marking the 50thyear anniversary of Dr. King, Jr.’s historicalmarch carries the hopes of civil rights ac-tivists, teachers, labor unions, college stu-dents, immigrant activists wanting reformand a new set of “Dreamers” who want anopportunity to serve the United States ofAmerica through service in the military andthe workforce. Thousands of participantsfrom all walks of life joined again in unity toprofess that we are “One nation, underGod, dedicated to the proposition that allmen are created equal with certain in-alienable rights …life, liberty and the pur-suit of happiness.”

A prevailing opinion of how far we havecome is often promoted as look at us now;we have a black president, integratedbaseball teams, and many more wealthyAfrican Americans in all fields of endeavor.Aren’t we there yet? The same can be saidabout Latinos, Native Americans, Asians,etc. Most of the races and ethnic groupshave made progress! Women have alsomade great strides in equality. We are trulya better nation. So, why all the fuss?

However, when we look at the data andcompare the poverty levels betweenraces, differences in income, degree ofsegregation in our schools, levels of edu-cational attainment including comparisonsbetween racial and ethnic groups, racial

trends in incarceration rates, military serv-ice statistics, affects of unemployment onminorities compared with whites, rise ingun related homicides, black on blackcrime, government employment statistics,etc., the picture is not as pretty.

Few African American, Latino, NativeAmericans, and Asians are entering edu-cation to assist preparing future genera-

tions, dropoutrates continue torise as unemploy-ment increases inmostly inner citycommunities. Wehave shared afew statisticalgraphs in thisissue particularlyfocusing on eco-nomic conditionsof African Ameri-cans but rest as-sured that Latinoconditions inmost studies

show similar conditions. We should soundthe alarm when considering how muchmomentum we have lost as workers andas affected classes of Americans.

The March on Washington, the push for ahigher minimum wage, the movement forimmigration reform, collective bargainingrights, voting rights act, the educational re-form movement, and other banners carriedby the marchers in Washington focus onour nation’s ills that still need to be reme-died!

La marcha en Washington DC por losseguidores del difunto Dr. Martin LutherKing, Jr. junto más de 250 mil personashace cincuenta años. Quizás no sabían elimpacto que sus acciones tendrían en losEstados Unidos, cuando se reunieron enprotesta por la gran división racial ybrecha económica en nuestro país. Eran"Soñadores", también! Ellos imaginaronuna mejor nación con menos intoleranciaracial y mayores oportunidades económi-cas para todos, sin importar el color de supiel. El "sueño" sigue vivo en nuestranación mientras luchamos con nuestrasactitudes raciales, acciones divisionistas yla continuación de la discriminación en ellugar de trabajo, la segregación en institu-ciones educativas, la segregación en lavivienda, y las prácticas de préstamospredatorios, rechazo de seguro en los bar-rios, la explotación de los no ciudadanosen materia de empleo y de género dis-criminación. Pedimos a la pregunta, "¿Es-tamos mejor de lo que éramos hace 50años?......Spanish version continued on pg.14

Labor movement, civil rights and immigration reform advocates unite for 50th Anniversary of“Dream” Speech

DETROIT – With a call for the the protection of vulnerable immigrant families, Michigan Unitedjoined members of Detroit’s civil rights and labor movement for a march commemorating the 50thanniversary of Dr. Martin L. King’s historic 1963 march on Washington. Myriad changes have oc-curred in the 50 years since King delivered his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech at that march.But marchers in Detroit expressed determination to press on with Dr. King’s vision of the “Beloved Commu-nity” in the local version of the “Revive the Dream” march that also took place today in Washington DC.

The Detroit march took place in southwest Detroit from Ste Anne’s Church to Clark Park where marchersjoined the 4th Annual Puerto Rican Family Festival.

“This is a critical time because we facing an historic attack on civil rights, voting rights, and immigrantcommunities,” said Geoff Boyce of No More Deaths. “We have to press lawmakers to protect immigrant

families with a path to citizenship, protect workers’rights to bargain for economic survival and to respectleaders elected by the people and not selected by anyone person.” Michigan United was also among the groups calling forjustice for families kicked out of their homes and con-nected the dots on fights for justice.

“People are still losing their homes to banks while bil-lionaires like the Koch Brothers are working to lower theminimum wage and fighting against immigrant fami-lies,” said Alana Rodriguez of Michigan United. “Immi-grant rights, foreclosure prevention and collective

bargaining, we need tosupport all parts of thefight or we will never re-alize Dr. King's dream.”

50 years later, challenges to King’s “Beloved Community” include keeping immigrant fami-lies from being ripped apart by broken immigration system

GRAND RAPIDS – Marching from Lincoln Park to the local GOP Headquarters, MichiganUnited led a group of immigration reform advocates who celebrated the 50th Anniversaryof M.L. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech by advocating justice for immigrant families. Thegroup included everyone from “DREAMers” young people brought to U.S. as children with-out documents to lawyers, business people and university professors. They made aroundtrip from Lincoln Park to GOP Kent County Head-quaters. There, they called on U.S. Representative JustinAmash and his Republican colleagues to keep immigrantfamilies together with a path to citizenship.

“The Republicans in the House can act in the spirit of Dr.King’s call for justice from 50 years ago by providing justicefor families that are being torn from one another by an immi-gration system no one wants,” said Denise Lopez of Michi-gan United. “We march today to ask Congressman Amashto do right by the mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers whoneed a path to citizenship to stay together.” Erica Martínez González was brought to the U.S. at age of15. She lamented the attempts by House Republicans todeport people like her who had no choice in coming hereand are Americans in virtually every sense of the word.

“Part of Dr. King’s message was about the promise of Amer-ica and hope,” said Erica Martínez González of MichiganUnited. “No part of his ‘Dream’ included snatching peoplefrom their families and sending them back to countries theybarely remember if at all. If the people who voted to deportme were to meet me on the street, they would know just howAmerican I am. What I need, what my family needs is pro-tection, not prosecution. It’s time for a path to citizenship.”

Marchando del Lincoln Parka la sede local del GOPHeadquarters MichiganUnited, llevaron a un grupode defensores de la reformade inmigración ya que secelebró el 50 aniversario deML King "Tengo un sueño" alabogar por la justicia paralas familias inmigrantes. Elgrupo incluía a todos,desde los "soñadores"jóvenes traídos a EE.UU.cuando eran niños sin doc-umentos,abogados, empre-sarios y profesoresuniversitarios. En la marcha pidieron alRepresentante JustinAmash y sus colegas re-publicanos que mantengana las familias inmigrantes,unidas con una ruta de ac-ceso a la ciudadanía.

We should all recognize the achievementsof organized labor in America and the rea-son that collective bargaining is so impor-tant in the work place. Our country hasseen many abuses of workers includingchild exploitation, sexual harassment,racial discrimination, unsafe working con-ditions and unequal pay for women amongother abuses.

Labor Day is celebrated to remind us eachyear of the historical struggle to give Amer-ican workers a dignified work existencewith meaningful wages enabling them tolive middle class lifestyles, purchase

homes and send their children to college.These goals drive most of the workingclass in America.

A decent wage for work performed, ac-cess to bathroom facilities, safe workingconditions, needed rest breaks, a lunchperiod to nourish ourselves, and respecton the job. On September 4th our nationhonors the working people who have builtthis country and made it prosperous. It isalso a time to remember the achievementsof the organized labor movement in UnitedStates history. As is often noted every Sep-tember, many of the basic rights and bene-

fits that are sometimes taken for grantedwere not kindly handed to workers by em-ployers. It took the hard work and dedica-tion of thousands of union men and womenwho struggled bravely to win these rights.

UN SALUDO PARA TRABAJO

ORGANIZADO EN AMERICA

Todos debemos reconocer los logros delos trabajadores organizados en los Esta-dos Unidos y la razón de que la nego-ciación colectiva es tan importante en ellugar de trabajo. Nuestro país ha sidotestigo de muchos abusos de los traba-jadores, incluida la explotación infantil, elacoso sexual, la discriminación racial,condiciones de trabajo inseguras y la de-sigualdad de renuneración para las mu-jeres entre otros abusos.

Día del Trabajo se celebra para recordartodos los años de la lucha histórica paraque los trabajadores estadounidensestengan una existencia de trabajo dignacon salarios significativas que les permi-tan vivir estilos de vida de la clase media,comprar casas y realizar que sus hijosasisten la universidad. Estos objetivos sir-ven a impulsar la mayor parte de la clasetrabajadora en Estados Unidos.

Un salario digno por el trabajo realizado,el acceso a las instalaciones de baño,condiciones de trabajo seguras, necesar-ios descansos, un período de almuerzopara nutrirnos y el respeto en el trabajoson nuestros deseos. El 4 de septiembrenuestra nación honra a los trabajadoresque construyeron este país y lo hizopróspero. También es un momento pararecordar los logros del movimiento obreroorganizado en la historia de EstadosUnidos. Como se observa a menudocada mes de septiembre, muchos de losderechos básicos y los beneficios que aveces se dan por sentado que no se en-tregaron amablemente a los trabajadorespor los empleadores. Se tomó el trabajoduro y la dedicación de miles de hom-bres y mujeres sindicalistas que lucharoncon valentía para ganar estos derechos.

MARCHA EN WASHINGTON 50 AÑOS DESPUESDE LA MANIFESTACIÓN

CONVOCATORIAS DE IGUALDADEs una cuestión de opinión! La marcha en Washington 28 de agosto para conmem-orar el 50 aniversario de la marcha histórica del Dr. King, Jr. lleva las esperanzas delos activistas de derechos civiles, maestros, sindicatos, estudiantes universitarios,activistas inmigrantes que quieren la reforma y un nuevo conjunto de "Dreamers"que quieren una oportunidad de servir a los Estados Unidos de América a travésdel servicio en el ejército y la fuerza de trabajo. Miles de participantes de todas lasclases sociales se unieron de nuevo en la unidad de profesar que somos "unanación, bajo Dios, dedicada a la proposi-ción de que todos los hombres son creadosiguales, con ciertos derechos inalienables...la vida, libertad y la búsqueda de la felici-dad."

La opinión prevaleciente de lo lejos quehemos llegado es a menudo promovidocomo míranos ahora, tenemos un presidentenegro, los equipos de béisbol integrados, ymuchos afroamericanos más ricos en todoslos ámbitos de la actividad. No estamos allítodavía? Lo mismo puede decirse de loslatinos, nativos americanos, asiáticos, etc.La mayoría de las razas y grupos étnicoshan logrado avances! Las mujeres tambiénhan hecho grandes avances en la igualdad.Somos verdaderamente una nación mejor!Así que, ¿Por qué tanto alboroto?

Sin embargo, cuando nos fijamos en los datos y comparar los niveles de pobrezaentre las razas, las diferencias en los ingresos, el grado de segregación en las es-

cuelas, los niveles de logro educativo, incluyendo comparaciones entre los gruposraciales y étnicos, las tendencias raciales en las tasas de encarcelamiento, las es-tadísticas del servicio militar, afecta del desempleo sobre las minorías en compara-ción con los blancos, el aumento de los homicidios con armas de fuego, negrosobre negro, la delincuencia, las estadísticas de empleo del gobierno, etc., elpanorama no es tan bonito.

Pocos americanos, latinos, nativos americanosafricanos y asiáticos están entrando en la edu-cación para ayudar a la preparación de las futurasgeneraciones, las tasas de deserción escolarsiguen aumentando a medida que aumenta el de-sempleo en las comunidades de la ciudad sobretodo en las zonas interiores. Hemos compartido al-gunos gráficos estadísticos en este número espe-cial hincapié en la situación económica de losafroamericanos, pero estar seguros de que lascondiciones de latinos en la mayoría de los estu-dios muestran condiciones similares. Debemos darla alarma cuando se considera la cantidad de im-pulso que hemos perdido como trabajadores ycomo las clases afectadas de los estadounidenses.

La marcha en Washington, el empuje de un salariomínimo más alto, el movimiento por la reforma mi-

gratoria, derechos de negociación colectiva, el derecho de voto acto, el movimientode reforma educativa, y otras pancartas portadas por los manifestantes en Wash-ington se centran en los males de nuestra nación que aún necesitan ser remedia-dos!

Something exciting ishappening in the heart of Roo-sevelt Park Neighborhood.Residents may have noticedincreased activity around thebuilding at 641 Vries St SW,which once served as a pre-school, but has been vacantfor about four years. That ac-

tivity is the product of a $350,000 Early Learning Neighbor-hood Collaborative (ELNC) project made possible throughthe W.K. Kellogg foundation, and ELNC partner organiza-tions: Baxter Community Center, Hispanic Center of WestMichigan, New Hope Baptist Church, SECOM, SteepletownNeighborhood Services, The Other Way Ministries and UnitedMethodist Community House.

ELNC has opened six classrooms in the past year. When I ar-rived at the ELNC Early Learning Center (formerly RooseveltChild Development Center), I was welcomed by the smilingfaces of Shawnte Williams, ELNC Program Director andKaren Hogan, SeyferthPR Public Relations firm, ready toshow me the world that ELNC Partners are creating for thechildren of Roosevelt Park Neighborhood. They are excited toget to be able to “work together for the greater good of thefamilies and children in our vulnerable neighborhoods.” Lu-cila Ramos, a volunteer at SECOM, whose daughter, 4-year-old Nalani attends the ELNC/SECOM Little Steps, programexpressed gratitude for how her daughter has not only pro-gressed socially, but can now sing her ABC’s, and name thecolors and numbers.

This beautiful new preschool will open this month, to 128qualifying three- and four-year-olds. K’Sandra Earle, theEarly Childhood Education Director tells us that thehighly trained, certified staff will offer “Creative Curricu-lum. All of the objectives are taught through play. Ourteachers use observations during the children's play todetermine their level of development. She plans her les-sons with the child's current level of development and

incorporates how to support the child in furthering their learn-ing. Our lessons will build upon the interests of the child andwill allow them opportunities to investigate and explore.”

Dr. NKechy Ezeh, CEO of ELNC, states that “ELNC wasformed because 83% of children entering kindergarten inGrand Rapids were not fully ready to learn. We see ourselvesas partners with GRPS, sharing a common vision… commit-ted to the belief that the best environment for the early educa-tion of children is rooted in what is local… that is, in a child’sown “place” or immediate schoolyard, neighborhood, town orcommunity.”

Algo interesante está sucediendo en el corazón de RooseveltPark Neighborhood. Los residentes pueden haber notado unaumento de actividad en el edificio en la 641 Vries St SW,que una vez sirvió como un jardín de infantes, pero ha estadovacante durante unos cuatro años. Esta actividad es fruto deun proyecto de $350,000 de la Colaboración de AprendizajeTemprano (ELNC), un proyecto posible gracias a la Fun-dación WK Kellogg, y otras organizaciones asociadas alELNC: Centro Comunitario Baxter, Centro Hispano del Oestede Michigan, New Hope Baptist Church, SECOM, Steeple-town Servicios a los Vecindarios, Los otros ministerios Way yUnited Methodist Community House.

ELNC ha abierto seis aulas en el año pasado. Cuando lleguéen el Centro de Aprendizaje Temprano ELNC (antes Roo-sevelt Child Development Center), me recibieron las carassonrientes de Shawnte Williams, Director del Programa ELNC

y Karen Hogan, SeyferthPR firma de relaciones públicas, lis-tas para mostrarme al mundo que ELNC está creando paralos niños de Roosevelt Park Neighborhood. Ellos están muycontentos de poder "trabajar juntos por el bien de las familiasy los niños de nuestros barrios vulnerables." Lucila Ramos,voluntaria de SECOM, cuya hija, Nalani de 4 años de edad,asiste a la ELNC / SECOM Pasos Pequeños, expreso gratitudpor la forma en que su hija ha progresado no solo social-mente, pero ahora puede cantar su ABC, y nombrar los col-ores y los números.

Este nuevo y hermoso preescolar se abrirá este mes, a 128niños tres y cuatro años de edad. K'Sandra Earle, la Directorade Educación de la Primera Infancia nos dice que el alta-mente certificado personal ofrecerá un "Currículo Creativo.Todos los objetivos se imparten a través del juego. Nuestrosprofesores utilizan observaciones durante el juego de losniños para determinar su nivel de desarrollo. Ella planea susclases con el nivel actual de desarrollo del niño e incorpora laforma de apoyar al niño en la promoción de su aprendizaje.Nuestras clases se basarán en los intereses del niño y lespermitirá la oportunidad de investigar y explorar.”

"Dr.NKechy Ezeh, CEO de ELNC, afirma que "ELNC fue for-mado porque 83% de los niños que ingresan a kindergartenen Grand Rapids no están totalmente preparados paraaprender. Nos consideramos socios de GRPS, compartiendouna visión común ... con la creencia de que el mejor ambi-ente para la educación temprana de los niños tiene su origenen lo local ... es decir,en el propio "lugar" deun niño o un patio de laescuela, barrio, puebloo comunidad.”

Una banda local desde la década de1980 se reúne después de 30 años con laesperanza de revivir los sonidos de lamúsica tejana en el área.

Karizma se originó en Holland en 1981como una banda-Conjunto, una categoríade la música tejana que es conocida porel uso de acordeón, bajo sexto, bajo ybatería. Aunque ha habido tres Karizmasdiferentes desde el primero, la reunión deSeptiembre reunión contará con una mez-cla de los miembros originales y algunosque se han unido a lo largo de los años.

Guillermo Martínez es uno de los miem-bros originales y dijo que la banda estabamuy influenciada por los trabajadores mi-grantes.

"La música tejana es algo que abarcatodos los diferentes géneros que tenemosaquí en Estados Unidos.", Dijo Martínez."También es un tipo de música influenci-ada por la cultura que lo rodea. Paranosotros, nuestra experiencia musical seoriginó de alguna forma a partir de la corri-ente migratoria, que a menudo llevó lamúsica de estilo Conjunto influenciado porla cultura del sur de Texas ".

"Tomamos algo que aprendimos y nos'Michiganizamos", dijo Javier Guerrero, vo-calista y quien toca el saxo alto.

La banda se diferenció de los demás enlos primeros años, cuando muchas ban-das tejanas comenzaron a incorporar sin-tetizadores de sonido, un instrumentoeléctrico capaz de producir una ampliagama de sonidos. Karizma optó los sinteti-zadores, dejando que su talento brille através de la utilización de instrumentos

originales como trompetas y saxos alto.

Karizma pone su propio estilo en ver-siones de canciones de los músicos te-janos como Jay Perez, Little Joe Y LaFamilia, raza latina, y más. Están traba-jando en engalanar sus populares éxitosde 1980, así como el aprendizaje denuevas versiones, con la esperanza deatraer a una gran variedad de audiencias.

Aunque varios miembros viven ahora fuerade Holland, hacen un esfuerzo por prac-ticar dos veces por semana durante tres ocuatro horas en el sótano de la casa deGuerrero, que se ha convertido en uncuarto de estudio . A pesar de quecomenzaron las prácticas en Septiembredel año pasado para un sólo espectáculo,la banda ha decidido permanecer juntos yhacer más espectáculos.

"Todos nos estamos haciendo viejos y eratiempo de poner las chuletas de nuevo enla música", dijo Guerrero. "Esperamos quelas personas vengan a recordar el pasadocon nosotros. En el espectáculo va ahaber variedad de música, recuerdos, ybuen tiempo ".

La demostración del espectáculo serámás que un "baile", es un encuentro quecuenta con música en vivo, baile, bebidasy alimentos. Es una tradición que muchosde los miembros de la banda han visto de-teriorarse a lo largo de los años, y ellos es-peran traer esos recuerdos con susespectáculos.

Junto a Guerrero y Martínez en el esce-nario estará Albert Castillo, Ernie Ortiz,Lupe Rodriguez, Oscar Palomo, XavierGarcia, Cookie Saiz, Joe Rincones y

Miguel Morales. También darán la bien-venida a David García, el baterista originalde Karizma que sufrió un derrame cere-bral unos años más tarde, pero esperapoder actuar en el espectáculo.

A local band from the 1980s reunites after30 years in hopes of reviving the sounds ofTejano music in the area.

Karizma originated in Holland in 1981 as aConjunto band, a category of Tejano musicthat is known for its use of accordion, bajosexto, bass and drum. Though there havebeen three different Karizmas since thefirst, the September reunion show will fea-ture a mix of the original members andsome that have joined over the years.

Guillermo Martinez is one of the originalmembers and said the band was heavilyinfluenced by migrant workers.

“Tejano music is something that encom-passes all different genres we have here inAmerica.” Martinez said. “It is also a typeof music influenced by the culture sur-rounding it. For us, our musical experienceall somehow originated from the migrantstream, which often brought conjunto-stylemusic influenced by Southern Texas cul-ture.”

“We took something we learned and we‘Michiganized’ it,” Javier Guerrero, vocalistand alto sax player, said.

The band set itself apart from others in theearly years when many Tejano bandsbegan to incorporate sound synthesizers,an electric instrument capable of produc-ing a wide range of sounds. Karizmaopted the synthesizers, letting their talent

shine through with the use of genuine in-struments like trumpets and alto saxo-phones.

Karizma puts their own style in cover ver-sions to songs by Tejano musicians likeJay Perez, Little Joe Y La Familia, LatinBreed, and more. They are working onsprucing up their popular 1980s hits aswell as learning newer releases, hoping toappeal to a large array of audiences.

While several members now live outside ofHolland, they make an effort to practicetwice a week for three to four hours inGuerrero’s basement, which has beenturned into a studio-like room. Though theybegan practices last September in prepa-ration of a single show, the band has de-cided to stay together and do more shows.

“We’re all getting too old and it was time toget our chops back into music,” Guerrerosaid. “We hope people come out and remi-nisce with us. (The show) is going to be alot of music, memories, and a good time.”

The reunion show will be more of a “baile,”which is a gathering that features livemusic, dancing, drinks, and food. It is atradition that many of the band membershave seen deteriorate throughout theyears, and one they hope to bring backinto the scene with their shows.

Joining Guerrero and Martinez on stagewill be Albert Castillo, Ernie Ortiz, LupeRodriguez, Oscar Palomo, Xavier Garcia,Cookie Saiz, Joe Rincones, and MiguelMorales. They will also welcome DavidGarcia, Karizma’s original drummer whosuffered a stroke a few years later, but ishoping to perform at the show.

on bastante frecuencia, las investiga-ciones sobre el cuidado de la salud enlos Estados Unidos han tratado a loshispanos como si fueran un solo

grupo. ¿Pero tienen todos los hispanos elmismo riesgo de desarrollar enfermedadcardíaca?

El "Estudio de los Latinos" del Hispanic Com-munity Health Study (HCHS/SOL - Estudiosobre la Salud de la Comunidad Hispana) es-pera resolver este interrogante. Es el estudiomás grande que se ha hecho hasta el momentosobre la salud de los latinos en los EstadosUnidos. El estudio recolectará informaciónsobre hispanos de diversos orígenes. Uno delos objetivos de esta investigación es obtenerun mejor entendimiento sobre la salud cardíacade todos los hispanos.

"Con respecto a la salud cardíaca de los his-panos, hay varias cosas importantes que hayque tener en cuenta", comenta la Dra. LarissaAvilés-Santa, Directora del Proyecto HispanicCommunity Health Study. Ella también esparte del personal del National Heart, Lung,and Blood Institute Division of CardiovascularSciences (División de Ciencias Vasculares delInstituto Nacional del Corazón, Pulmón y San-gre).

"Lo primero es la frecuencia con la que se pre-

senta la enfermedad cardíaca entre los his-panos", comenta la Dra. Avilés-Santa. "Lo se-gundo es, si los latinos saben cuál es su riesgode desarrollar una enfermedad cardíaca. Y lotercero, qué pueden hacer para prevenirla".

En la actualidad, los hispanos son la minoríacon la población más grande en los EstadosUnidos. En las últimas dos décadas, la faz de lapoblación hispana ha cambiado inmensamente.La inmigración de Centro y Sudamérica haagregado personas de múltiples orígenes, en-tornos sociales y niveles de educación. La Dra.Avilés-Santa dice que estos cambios tienen quetomarse en cuenta al considerar la salud de loshispanos en general.

"Es posible que lo que afecte a un grupo dehispanos no afecte a los otros, y lo que protegea un grupo, no proteja a los otros", dice ella. "Si este es el caso, los hallazgos del estudio po-drían brindar un mejor entendimiento queeventualmente ayudará a diseñar mejores pau-tas para prevenir la enfermedad cardíaca entrelos latinos que viven en los Estados Unidos".

"Como sucede con muchos otros grupos étni-cos, es importante que los latinos conozcan susfactores de riesgo de enfermedad cardíaca", co-menta la Dra. Avilés-Santa.

"Muchos problemas de salud, incluyendo la

enfermedad cardíaca, puedenser comunes entre algunas fa-milias", dice ella. "Ademásde la herencia, existen otrosfactores que aumentan losriesgos para que esto suceda.Sin embargo, hay cosas quepueden hacerse para prevenir laenfermedad cardíaca. Mantenerse físicamenteactivo (como caminar, jugar al aire libre obailar), comer más frutas y verduras frescas,reducir la cantidad de sal en nuestras comidas,mantener un peso saludable, no fumar y man-tener la presión arterial, el azúcar en la sangrey el colesterol en niveles saludables, son cosasque podemos hacer para prevenir la enfer-medad cardíaca. Al hacernos cargo del cuidadode nuestra salud, podemos mantenernos salud-ables y disminuir los riesgos de desarrollar unaenfermedad del corazón".

Por último, la Dra. Avilés-Santa alienta a loshispanos a hacer preguntas a sus proveedoresde atención médica y aprender más acerca desu propia salud. "Pregúntele a su médico si supresión arterial y su colesterol están dentro delos límites normales. Si usted tiene an-tecedentes familiares de enfermedad cardíaca odiabetes, pregunte cómo puede mantenersesaludable o prevenirlas", dice ella. "Infórmesesobre cómo puede ayudar a sus niños a man-tener un peso saludable y a disfrutar man-teniéndose activos. Si necesita tomarmedicamentos para controlar su presión arte-rial, su diabetes o su colesterol, asegúrese deentender cómo funcionan. Usted es el líder delequipo que cuida de su salud".

More often than not, healthcare research in theUnited States has treated Hispanics as all onegroup. But do all Hispanics have the same riskof developing heart disease?

The Hispanic Community Health Study hopesto answer that question. It is the largest studyon Latino health ever done in the UnitedStates. The study will collect health informa-tion from Hispanics of diverse origins. One ofthe aims of the research is to get a better un-derstanding of heart health in all Hispanics.

When it comes to Hispanic heart health, thereare several important things that Latinos needto be aware of, notes Larissa Avilés-Santa,M.D., Project Officer for the Hispanic Commu-nity Health Study. She also is on the staff of theNational Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Di-vision of Cardiovascular Sciences.

"First is how often heart disease occurs amongHispanics," she says. "Second, whether Latinosknow their risk of developing heart disease.

And third, what theycan do to prevent

it."

Cur-rently, Hispanics are

the largest minority populationin the United States. In the past two

decades, the face of the Hispanic populationhas changed greatly. Immigration from Centraland South America has added people frommultiple origins, social backgrounds, and edu-cation levels. Dr. Avilés-Santa says thesechanges need to be taken into considerationwhen thinking about overall Hispanic health."It is possible that what affects one Hispanicgroup doesn't affect others, and what protectsone group doesn't protect another," she says.

"If that is the case, the study findings couldprovide better understanding that will eventu-ally help with the design of better guidelines toprevent heart disease among Latinos living inthe U.S."

As with any ethnic group, it is important forHispanics to know their individual risk factorsfor heart disease, Dr. Avilés-Santa notes.

"Many health conditions, including heart dis-ease, may be common among some families",she says. "In addition to inheriting the risk toget heart disease, other factors increase thatchance. However, there are things that can bedone to prevent heart disease. Staying physi-cally active (like walking, playing outdoors, ordancing), eating more fresh fruit and vegeta-bles, reducing the amount of salt in our meals,keeping a healthy weight, not smoking, andkeeping blood pressure, blood sugar and cho-lesterol levels in a healthy range are thingsthat we can do to prevent heart disease. By be-coming part of our health care, we can stayhealthy and decrease the risk of developingheart disease."

Finally, Dr. Avilés-Santa encourages Hispanicsto ask questions of their healthcare providersand learn more about their health.

"Ask your doctor whether your blood pressureor cholesterol are within normal range. If youhave family history of heart disease or dia-betes, ask how you can stay healthy or preventthem," she says. "Get informed on how you canhelp your children maintain a healthy weightand enjoy staying active. If you need to takemedications to control your blood pressure, di-abetes, or cholesterol, make sure you under-stand how they work. You are the leader of theteam that takes care of your health."

Sabía que 100 gramos de espárragos tan sólo aportan 25calorías al organismo? Es por ello que se trata de uno delos alimentos más utilizados en las dietas contra la obesi-dad. Además, su gran contenido en fibra ayuda a mejorar eltránsito intestinal y sus beneficios sobre la función renalestán más que demostrados. Pero más allá de sus ventajaspara el organismo, no podemos dejar de mencionar el deli-cioso sabor de los espárragos, que alcanzan su mejor mo-mento precisamente ahora, durante los meses de marzo yabril.

El espárrago tiene un 90% de agua, es bajo en calorías yFibra (transito intestinal). Por lo que es aconsejable para lasdietas de adelgazamiento.

- Vitaminas: Mucha A (vista, uñas, pelo)y C (dientes, huesos)y en menor cantidad B1, B2, B6, E.- Minerales: Tienen mucho Potásio, Fósforo, Calcio, Magnesio- Otros:Realmente es una fuente de folate, provee una canti-dad considerable de los antioxidantes (anticancerígeno).

Hace mucho tiempo fue cultivado con propósitos medicinalescomo un remedio natural para limpiar la sangre y conpropiedades diuréticas, por su gran cantidad de Potasio. Esideal para la retención de líquidos.

* Es bueno para el sistema nervioso y fortalece la mente (vita-minas B).

* Durante la época del Renacimiento, el espárrago fue pro-mocionado como un afrodisíaco y prohibido en las mesas de

la mayoría de conventos.

*El espárrago es vegetal de primavera.

* Cuando compre espárragos escoja los que tienen puntascompactas y tallos que tienen un color verde uniforme entodo el largo. Revise la parte del tallo donde han cortado elespárrago para determinar si está seco y no compre espárra-gos marchitos.

* Tanto los tallos del grosor de un lápiz como los más gruesosson deliciosos. Contrario a lo que dice la gente, los tallosfinos y delgados no son una indicación de que los espárra-gos son suaves. Los tallos gruesos ya son gruesos cuandosacan la cabeza a la superficie del suelo y los tallos delga-dos no se ponen gruesos cuando maduran. Lo suave se rela-ciona con la madurez y frescura.

* Una hortaliza milenaria y muy consumida que cuenta conmultitud de posibilidades en cocina:cocidos y acompañados de una salsamayonesa o una vinagreta, en formade tortilla, en guarnición, en ensal-adas, etc.
