Word From the Publisher

he first day back to school was always exT citing for me when I was a youngster. Even more thrilling was my own daughter's first day

back to school. I still remember going to purchase her school clothes, and her school supplies and how fun it was to now be on the other side of the first day back to school - as the parent. It was a very emotional day for me because I was starting my daughter on her road to a necessity in her life - her education. And, as we sat her among the other children, I remember the big hug she gave me, as she said goodbye. As we hesitantly walked out of her classroom, I remember her shouting out "I love you Mommy & daddy, tell Sticker (her puppy) I miss her, and don't forget to pick me up." With that we were off. She didn't cry on the first day of school...but I did. My baby girl was growing up. And from that moment on, I committed that I would be very engaged in her education, and that after God, it would be a priority in her life. Today, my daughter will begin her fall semester in college as a junior. I'm still proud, we still make education a priority, and most importantly, my husband and I are just as involved. We attribute her successes to that involvement. Research has consistently linked parental involvement with positive academic outcomes for all students. Parental involvement socializes children by sending a message to their children that education is important, and these children are more likely to value education themselves. Parental involvement also provides parents with a means of social control; involved parents get to know other parents, teachers, and administrators who may then discuss their children’s performance with them. As a PTA advocate, I also found that involved parents are privy to information about our children; if teachers tell parents their children are struggling, parents are in a better position to intervene. Unfortunately, when Hispanic parents aren't involved some perceptions by some teachers is that we don't care. Contrary to the belief held by many teachers and school personnel, Latinos parents DO care and value education. Studies indicate that minority parents do care about their children’s academic success and want to be involved in their children’s schooling (Trumbellet al., 2001). Research shows that when parents participate at school and encourage learning at home, children tend to be more successful at all grade levels (Fan & Chen, 2001; Jeynes, 2003 as cited in Wong & Hughes, 2006). However, several factors influence the degree of parental involvement among parents of Latino youth. When my daughter Amaris began school I joined PTA. I made my mission to become one of the most involved parents in the school. In speaking with the teachers they often shared their desire to have parents more involved and aware of the status of their child. That is why as you prepare your children for school, please also consider joining PTA, or a booster club. And if you can't be involved and invest your time, then make it a point to invest by sending money or items needed to make it easier for the teacher and class parents to do so for activities and parties during the school year. I also urge you to respect and value your children's teachers. After all, these individuals spend have of your child's day with them, and during core hours on their lives. Now is the time to instill in our children that they must prepare for a successful school year, and strive for good attendance, and a fun year. Please make plans to join us August 18, 2012 for our 4th Annual Vamos a Pescar (Let's Go Fishing) Free fishing event. The purpose is to encourage children and families to experience fishing in a relaxing environment with family and friends, and join with Los Hermanos, a collaborative group of men, organizations, and volunteers who value God, family, and community. Again, in 2012, may God place favor over you and your family. Thank you for believing in and supporting us. And thank you to our advertisers. Please invest in their businesses and services, as they commit to investing in ours. Como siempre, Latino Lubbock is committed to highlighting the numerous contributions of our Latino community. Thank you to those who support our publication. We are grateful to have 100,000 readers monthly. Please continue to support our advertisers who help make it possible to keep our publication free.

Latino Vote: It’s The Issues Stupid

olitics is the ability to fore“P tell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month

and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen.” Winston Churchill With four short months to the November election it’s safe to say the train has left the station on Latinos casting most of their vote for the Democratic ticket. The two questions everyone is trying to predict are by how much and how many. This election has all the makings for records to be broken and set for new Latino voters and our vote. According to Rice University political scientist Mark Jones, “What Republicans, particularly the more pragmatic ones, have tried to do is a dual strategy: Keep Hispanics from having an issue around which to mobilize, thereby keeping Hispanic turnout low and not doing anything that pushes Hispanics

and thousands of man hours had been spent to register a small number of new voters. A sign of the times of 2007. No social media No “issues to mobilize” around to beat the drums and fan the flames of passion. Nothing to “push Hispanics that would normally vote Republican to vote Democratic.” These three points leading up to the election will no doubt play a significant role in busting the myth that “Latinos don’t vote”, or will they?

Affordable Care Act (OBAMACARE), is the largest-ever middle class health care tax cut. Only free riders who can afford a plan but don't buy it will have to pay a penalty.

by credit card. One reason retailers may adopt this action is the surcharge credit card companies are charged for every consumer credit charge transaction. The typical charge to the retailer can be 1.7 percent to 3 percent for every consumer charge transaction. This can rapidly eat into the profit margin. Think about the number of consumers that pay by cash. Cash is almost non-existent. Plastic (i.e., Debit and credit cards) is taking the place of cash in almost everyone’s wallet…everyone’s wallet with the exception of one demographic. The Hispanic target market continues to pay a significant amount of its purchases by cash. The credit they do use is very selective. Regardless of the product or service, Hispanic males and females tend to pay by cash or debit card. Data collected in June 2012 by BIGinsight Center reveals that more than 50% of the Hispanic population avoids using credit regardless of the size of purchase. Large purchases (e.g., furniture) or small (e.g., beauty products) are treated the same by this target market; cash is king. This strong consumer payment behavior may have significant implications as retailers consider pricing strategies under the new pricing differential legislation. Hispanics have always been considered a valuable target market. Now however, as retailers consider the option of offering higher prices for credit card transactions, negative pushback can seriously harm retailers image, brand and customer loyalty programs the Hispanic target market is becoming an every more important market segment.

Data collected in June 2012 reveal that of the major credit cards, including store cards, Visa is the most popular card carried by Hispanics. 36.8% of males and 38.5% percent of females surveyed use Visa. The second most popular credit card in use is MasterCard (15.7% and 14.1% respectively). Slightly under one-third of males (30.4%) and just over one-third of females (37.6%) carry a zero balance. Additional 30.2% males and 31.3% carry a balance from $1.00 – $2,500. The remainder of the sample carries in excess of $2,500. The Hispanic consumer is an enormous and important market for retailers. Their use of credit cards is not as high as other target markets (e.g., baby boomers). Hispanics demonstrate loyal, pay cash for many transactions, yet also possess a major credit card. This market is careful with money as demonstrated by the one-third that carries a zero balance on the credit card. Many retailers, particularly small retailers, find it challenging to end the year in the black. Shrinkage, lack of sales and unknown costs cut away at the bottom line. Additional surcharges by the credit card vendor for each credit transaction will nibble away at the retailer’s limited profit margin. The new legislation that allows retailers to charge for credit use is rapidly getting push back from consumers. Since 2008, consumers continue to feel beaten, battered and bruised as they face high unemployment, nasty political infighting, world-wide instability and lack of confidence in the economy.

missioned by the immigration group America’s Voice and the progressive Center for American Progress Action Fund found how a candidate is perceived on immigration issues does affect Latino support – as well as increased or decreased enthusiasm – for the candidate. An interesting finding was that 51 percent of Latinos did not know President Obama’s stance on SB1070 (he opposes it), and 60 percent of Latinos did not know Romney’s views on SB1070 (he favors it). Yet when Latinos do know, the poll found an association between immigration issues and presidential choices, according to Latino Decisions political scientist Matt Barreto. For example, fifty-seven percent of Hispanics polled said knowing Romney favors SB1070 makes them less enthusiastic to vote for him. The number is higher (63 percent) for Spanish-speaking Latinos and lower (53percent) for English-dominant Latinos. For Obama, it is the opposite – he gains support among Hispanics when they know he opposed SB1070. While the poll found Romney only had 22 percent of the Latino vote, the Latino voters who favor Romney were actually more enthusiastic

Obama). Yet among Latinos who knew Obama fought against SB1070 in the courts, 68 percent of Latino voters said they were “very enthusiastic” versus 45 percent who did not know the President’s position – a difference of 23 points. “This paints a picture that immigration-related issues are a defining, mobilizing issue,” said Frank Sharry, from America’s Voice, in today’s discussion on the poll. The national poll surveyed a representative cross-section of Latinos. It found 66 percent of them did not agree with the Arizona law, which requires police to check the immigration status of a person who has been stopped if there is suspicion the person might be undocumented. Only 29 percent of Hispanics support it. A solid majority of Latinos polled – 79 percent – overwhelmingly think Latinos who are legal immigrants or U.S. citizens would be stopped or questioned by police due to the Arizona law. This does not dip that much after several generations; 74 percent of first generation, 89 percent of second generation, and 75 percent of third generation Hispanics think police would stop U.S. citizens as well as legal immigrants.

increase safety in my community. Seventy percent of registered Latinos across the country disagree. The feeling is shared by first and second generation Hispanics (71 and 73 percent, respectively), and 66 percent of third-generation Latinos. Sixty three percent of Hispanics thought Barack Obama would do a better job handling immigration issues, and 19 percent thought Mitt Romney would. Support for immigration reform as well as for Dreamers, however, is not solely a “Latino issue,” as the poll shows. A Bloomberg June 2012 poll found 64 percent of Americans support “Dreamers,” and 84 percent of Americans in a May 2012 National Journal poll expressed support for the Dream Act. This, says immigration advocate Frank Sharry, shows immigration is not just a “Hispanic issue.” “A few years ago, it was accepted – that immigration was a ‘loser’ issue,” said Sharry, saying that the conventional wisdom in previous elections was that immigration issues would mobilize conservative voters and not appeal to independent voters. Now, he says, “independent voters are more favorable to pragmatic immigration solutions.”

cost of billions to Texas taxpayers. “If anyone was in doubt, we in Texas have no intention to implement so-called state exchanges or to expand Medicaid under Obamacare,” Gov. Perry said. “I will not be party to socializing healthcare and bankrupting my state in direct contradiction to our Constitution and our founding principles of limited government. “I stand proudly with the growing chorus of governors who reject the Obamacare power grab. Neither a “state” exchange nor the expansion of Medicaid under this program would result in better “patient protection” or in more “affordable care.” They would only make Texas a mere appendage of the federal government when it comes to health care.” Gov. Perry has frequently called for the allocation of Medicaid funding in block grants so each state can tailor the program to specifically serve the needs of its unique challenges. As a common sense alternative, Gov. Perry has conveyed a vision to transform Medicaid into a system that reinforces individual responsibility, eliminates fragmentation and duplication, controls costs and focuses on quality health outcomes. This would include establishing

reasonable benefits, personal accountability, and limits on services in Medicaid. It would also allow co-pays or cost sharing that apply to all Medicaid eligible groups – not just optional Medicaid populations – and tailor benefits to needs of the individual rather than a blanket entitlement. Gov. Perry has consistently rejected federal funding when strings are attached that impose long-term financial burdens on Texans, or cede state control of state issues to the federal government. In 2009, Texas rejected Washington funding for the state’s Unemployment Insurance program because it would have required the state to vastly expand the number of workers entitled to draw unemployment benefits, leading to higher UI taxes later. In 2010, Gov. Perry declined “Race to the Top” dollars, which would have provided some up-front federal education funding if Texas disposed of state standards and adopted national standards and testing.

Gov. Perry: Texas Will Not Expand Medicaid or Implement Health Benefit Exchange

confirmed that Texas has no intention of implementing a state insurance exchange or expanding Medicaid as part of Obamacare. Any state exchange must be approved by the Obama Administration and operate under specific federally mandated rules, many of wh ich have yet to be established.

Important Information for Eligible Deferred Action Youth Do Not Apply Now - Wait to Apply

ULAC advises eligible individuals NOT to submit a deferred action request under the Deferred Action Process for Young People memorandum issued by Secretary Napolitano on June 15. If you submit now, your application will be rejected. The Secretary’s directive gives USCIS 60 days to create a process to accept these requests and USCIS is unable to accept requests at this time. Please continue to check their website for updates. Over the past three years, this Administration has undertaken an unprecedented effort to transform the immigration enforcement system into one that focuses on public safety, border security and the integrity of the immigration system. As DHS continues to focus its limited enforcement resources on the removal of individuals who pose a

danger to national security or a risk to public safety, including aliens convicted of crimes, with particular emphasis on violent criminals, felons, and repeat offenders, DHS will move to exercise prosecutorial discretion to ensure that enforcement resources are not expended on low priority cases, such as individuals who were brought to this country through no fault of their own as children, have not been convicted of a felony offense, a significant misdemeanor offense, or multiple misdemeanor offenses, and meet other key criteria. Effective immediately, certain young people who were brought to the United States through no fault of their own as young children and meet several key criteria will be considered for relief from removal from the country or entered into

removal proceedings. Those who demonstrate that they meet the criteria will be eligible to receive deferred action for a period of two years, subject to renewal. Only those individuals who can prove through verifiable documentation that they meet these criteria will be eligible for deferred action. Individuals will not be eligible if they are not currently in the United States and cannot prove that they have been physically present in the United States for a continuous period of not less than 5 years immediately preceding today’s date. The use of prosecutorial discretion confers no substantive right or pathway to citizenship. Only the Congress, acting through its legislative authority, can confer these rights. While this guidance takes effect immediately, USCIS and ICE expect to begin implementation of the application processes within sixty days. Do not apply - this application process is not yet available. If you apply early, your application will be rejected. Beginning June 18, 2012 and available now, individuals can call USCIS’ hotline at 1-800-3755283 or ICE’s hotline at 1-888-3514024 during business hours with questions or to request more information on the forthcoming process.

ome parents decide S to take a hiatus from work when their

children are born. They plan to return to work when their children have all started school. Some wait a little longer, perhaps until their children are old enough to be home alone after school. Whether you go back to work when your child is starting kindergarten, high school, or college, you'll have many decisions to make at that time. Will you work full time or part time? Who will take care of the kids after school, on school holidays, half-days, or if they get sick? If your child gets sick or hurt in school who will pick him up? Will you go back to the career you left X number of years ago? If not, what career will you choose? Will you want to or need to go back to school? These are big questions with answers that require serious and careful consideration. Whether you decide to work full time or part time is a very personal decision, similar to the one you made about staying home in the first place. You and your family must make the decision based on the needs of everyone involved. You may decide that working only during school hours or when your spouse is available is your best choice. You may decide to jump right in and work full time. Then you have to consider after school childcare. You can hire a private babysitter or enroll your child in an after school child care program. So now that regular school days are taken care of, you'll have to figure out what you're going to do on school holidays and half-days. Of course you can take care of those days on a case-by-case basis, but wouldn't it be nice to know what you're going to do

in advance. You may be able to arrange your work schedule around your child's schedule. Maybe you have personal days you can use or maybe you can use vacation days if your new employer allows it. You may be able to make arrangements with a friend or relative. If everything goes as planned you'll be all set. But how often does that happen? Kids get sick every now and then (more "now" it seems than "then"). Whether you know your child is sick before you leave for work or if she gets sick in school, you'll have to make some last minute arrangements. Some bosses may be cooperative and allow you to take time off. Some employers even have family sick days that give parents days off to take care of a sick child. Many employers, unfortunately, are not that flexible. Plan for the unexpected. You can make arrangements so someone is available to take care of your sick child, which may include picking him up from school. Or, if you can't find someone to do this, make arrangements with your boss so you can do it yourself. Perhaps your boss will let you work from home or make up any time you miss because of your child's illness. After you've considered all the practical stuff, it's time to think about where you want your career to go. Will you go back to what you were doing before or will you start anew? Let's take a look at those considerations next.

U.S. Hispanic Niche Markets

ith over 50 million Latinos in the U.S. today, there is no question that there are great business oppor t unities within the Hispanic market. However, it is not only important to understand the entire Hispanic market and its profit potential, but to take it a step further and analyze the different subgroups that make up the total Hispanic market and the possible opportunities within them. A study done by Pew Research Center provides a ranking of the U.S. Hispanic Population by origin, where Cubans, Salvadorians, and Dominicans make up a valuable amount of U.S. Hispanic population after Mexicans and Puerto Ricans. What is most interesting is how each subgroup differentiates from one another

not only by their percentage within the U.S. Hispanic population, but also by median age, household income, and their geographic concentrations. By looking at and understanding these differences one might discover a niche market with profitable opportunities. For example, as Lili Gil claims in Hispanic CCMO, “the Dominican market might be the golden nugget to win in a top market like New York.” With such a large U.S. Hispanic population, it is easy to overlook all different subgroups within that population. Those who are able to understand all these subgroups individually and create niche markets as they continue to grow are the ones who will benefit the most from the continuing Hispanic growth in the U.S.

Uno puede descubrir un mercado niche con oportunidades beneficiosas si uno mira y entiende estas diferencias. Como Lili Gil dice en Hispanic CCMO, “el mercado dominicano puede ser el pedazo de oro para ganar en un mercado top como Nueva York.” Con una población hispana estadounidense tan grande, es fácil perder todos los subgrupos diferentes dentro de esa población. Los que son capaces de entender todos estos subgrupos individualmente y crear nichos de mercado mientras continúan creciendo son los que se beneficiarán más del crecimiento de los hispanos en los Estados Unidos.

Business & Tax Tips By Jaime D. Garcia Forming A Non-Proﬁt Corporation

n the last article I discussed the O consequences with the Internal Revenue Service for not filing certain

forms and penalties related for not filing such forms. This time I am going to briefly mention the types of nonprofits and how they can be formed. First, there nonprofits for charitable purposes, nonprofits that are religious in nature, and other nonprofits that are more for civic activities. All fall under the 501(c) code of the Internal Revenue Service. As an example, Religious, educational and charitable, fall under the 501(c) (3) code. Civic leagues, social welfare organizations, and local associations, fall under the 501(c) (4) code. Social and recreational clubs, fall under the 5011(c) (7) code.

Second, once you determine the type of organization you want to form, and then you file articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State. Once your organization gets approval from the Secretary of State, you file such articles with the Internal Revenue Service to receive the proper designation. There are non refundable fees that have to be paid to Secretary of Sate and the Internal Revenue Service. Seek the advice of a professional on such matters for additional and complete information.

3. Brush with Oil. Apply a thin layer of extra-virgin olive oil (except corn) to the vegetables to encourage browning and prevent sticking onto grill grates. Season with salt and pepper. 4. Turn vegetables periodically. For best results, keep pieces moving to avoid hot spots and grill until tender and streaked with grill marks. 5. Grill meat before vegetables. The fire is hottest in the beginning, by the time the meat is done, the heat has subsided and the vegetables can cook at more moderate temperatures.

A Facelift In A Bottle

Living with diabetes?

pital, Joe had a long and difficult time getting adjusted to his new life with a prosthetics. He was used to working , not staying home. Time went by, things started happening in October 14th 2000, and again January 29,2006. Joe had two open heart surgeries, his cardiologist told me that he wasn't going to pull through his last open heart, but God was there - JOE MADE IT! On September 22, 2009, Joe had congestive heart failure. He was admitted to the hospital, and during that time, it was determined that Joe had kidney failure and started dialysis at the hospital. When he left the hospital, he started dialysis three times a week at Red Bud Center. He was very depressed and angry. At first, he refused to be friends or talk to anyone at the center... he refused to admit that he was one of them. Joe had a lot of complications with his fistula – with God guiding Joe through this difficult time, Joe started to have courage and strength to face what was ahead. As time went, Joe had a different attitude and outlook on things. He even looked forward to going to the center and seeing his friends. To him, the other patients became like family, they could talk and share things they had in common. Now, he takes everyday in stride and looks forward to life and the days he goes to the center to be with his friends. Joe has even been asked to volunteer at the center because he has a very friendly attitude and gets along with everyone there. He shared with me that at one time he had seen a beautiful light as he

was dying. When he heard his name to return, he quickly awoke. And after that Joe became determined to return to living life to the fullest. He has lost weight, he became physically active, he watches what he eats - cutting back. “I accomplished something in life, thanks to God,” he said to me. Now, I give thanks to God. We don't things for granted we make the best of everything. Editor's Note: Latino Lubbock Magazine thanks Lupie & Joe for sharing their personal experience and for urging Latino families to become more aware of programs that exist for those dealing with diabetes, dialysis, heart, and organ donation. The couple has been married for 50 years since February 13th. They have one daughter, Norma; their nephew, Julian Melgoza; and grandson, Luis Gallegos. If you are interested in becoming a donor, please contact Lupie at (806)7440867.

Bureau of Primary Health Care. Health centers offer a vital safety net for low-income, uninsured, and migrant populations in more than 4,000 communities across the United States. Still, many Americans do not receive care. There are currently more than 46 million uninsured Americans, as well as 36 million

people who have insurance but do not have access to doctors or basic health services. According to the National Association of Community Health Centers, doubling the number of people served by health centers could reduce these disparities. During the week of August 5-11, help get the word out about the crucial role health centers play in the U.S. health care system. Get to know the health center in your community and find out what you can do to help.

the required immunizations children must have in order to enroll in school such as MMR [measles, mumps & rubella]. Immunizations are one of the easiest ways to protect yourself and your family from deadly diseases. Immunizing children according to recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics can help protect children from common infections and diseases. Q: Why are immunizations necessary?

A: Immunizations are still a simple and effective way to protect children from serious diseases. Vaccines trigger the immune system to fight disease. Q: What if my child does not get immunized? A: Children risk catching a disease, they can infect others and they may be excluded from attending school. Q: Can children get free vaccines? A: Vaccines for Children is a federal program that provides free vaccines to eligible children including those without health insurance coverage.

National Minority Donor Awareness Week

ational Minority Donor N Awareness Week, which will be celebrated Aug. 1-8, is an annual nationwide observance designed to increase awareness about the need and importance of organ and tissue donation among all minority communities. Many of the conditions leading to the need for transplant – such as diabetes and hypertension – are more prevalent among minority populations. Of the nearly 13,000 Texans on the waiting list, 2,728 are African-American; 5,526 are Hispanic; and 388 are Asian-Americans. More than 85 percent of these patients are awaiting kidney trans-

plants. In Texas, there are three ways to register as an organ, eye and tissue donor: 1) At any Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) office when obtaining or renewing a driver’s license/ID. 2) Via the Donate Life Texas website: www.donatelifetexas.org 3)When renewing your vehicle registration online through the Department of Motor Vehicles. For more information on organ, eye and tissue donation, visit www. lifegift.org. Copyright 2012 by Latino Lubbock Magazine. All Rights reserved.

Back to School/ Regreso a la Escuela Before and After School Child Care

uring middle childhood, youngD sters need supervision. A responsible adult should be available to

get them ready and off to school in the morning and watch over them after school until you return home from work. Children approaching adolescence (11- and 12-year-olds) should not come home to an empty house in the afternoon unless they show unusual maturity

for their age. If alternate adult supervision is not available, parents should make special efforts to supervise their children from a distance. Children should have a set time when they are expected to arrive at home and should check in with a neighbor or with a parent by telephone. If you choose a commercial afterschool program, inquire about the training of the staff. There should be a high staff-to-child ratio, and the rooms and the playground should be safe.

Walking to School

ake sure your child's walk to a M school is a safe route with welltrained adult crossing guards at every

intersection. Be realistic about your child's pedestrian skills. Because small children are impulsive and less cautious around traffic, carefully consider whether or not your child is ready to walk to school without adult supervision. If your child is young or is walking to new school, walk with them the first week to make sure they know the route and can do it

los años previos, cuando quizá haya regresado animada a casa después del primer día porque pasó un momento agradable. Busque a otro niño en el vecindario con quien su hijo pueda acompañarse mientras va a la escuela a pie o en el autobús. Si considera que es apropiado, lleve a su hija en automóvil (o acompáñela a pie) a la escuela, y pase por ella el primer día.

Developing good homework, study habits reate an C environment that is

conducive to doing homework. Youngsters need a permanent work space in their bedroom or another part of the home that offers privacy. Set aside ample time for homework. Establish a household rule that the TV set stays off during homework time. Supervise computer and inter-

net use. Be available to answer questions and offer assistance, but never do a child's homework for them. Take steps to help alleviate eye fatigue, neck fatigue and brain fatigue while studying. It may be helpful to close the books for a few minutes, stretch, and take a break periodically when it will not be too disruptive. If your child is struggling with a particular subject, and you aren't able to help her yourself, a tutor can be a good solution. Talk it over with your child's teacher first.

ree un ambiente propicio para C hacer la tarea. Los jóvenes necesitan un espacio permanente para

él. Para ayudar a aliviar la fatiga de los ojos, del cuello y del cerebro mientras se estudia, se recomienda que los jóvenes cierren los libros durante 10 minutos cada hora y vayan a hacer alguna otra cosa. Si su hijo está luchando con un tema particular, y usted no lo puedo ayudar, una persona que oriente a su hijo puede ser una buena solución. Hable al respecto con el maestro de su hijo primero.

National Night Out August 7th

u b L bock United

Neighborhood Association (LUNA), announced that National Night Out will be held on Tuesday, August 7, 2012, from 6 to 9 p.m. Celebrating its 29th year, National Night Out was created to get citizens involved in “Giving Crime and Drugs A Going Away Party.” Throughout Lubbock residents are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights and spend the evening outside with neighbors and police. Neighborhood associations will be hosting a variety

of special events such as block parties, cookouts, carnivals, ice cream socials, and visits from our local Police and Fire Departments. The benefits derived from National Night Out continue to benefit the community well beyond that one night. It heightens crime and drug prevention awareness; generates support for, and participation in local anticrime programs; strengthens neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships and sends a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. To learn more about National Night Out, or to begin a neighborhood association, contact LUNA at 749-5862.

NEIGHBORHOOD UNITED: The Guadalupe Neighborhood Association announced their incoming board of directors. Included are Joe Castillo, Treasurer; Alice Lozada, Secretary; Ray Lozada, Vice President; and Lala Chavez, President. The group holds their meetings on the last Tuesday of each month.

The Helicopter from WWII to the Vietnam War at Silent Wings

he Helicopter from WWII T to the Vietnam War, an exhibit produced by the Texas Tech University, Vietnam Center and Archive will open at the Silent Wings Museum. The helicopter was first utilized by the US military during WWII at Burma in 1945 when the vaunted American glider forces were unable to reach downed American aircrews. By the beginning of the Vietnam War the military role for helicopters were being greatly expanded, and the UH-1 Huey became one of the most recognized icons of the war in Vietnam. The exhibit examines the history and uses of the helicopter over the course of the war, and will feature both a physical exhibit on display at the Silent Wings Museum as well as an online exhibit on the Vietnam Center website http:// www.vietnam.ttu.edu/.

Visitors to the physical exhibit will have the option to use smart phones or tablets to access enhanced content such as historical film footage, audio records, oral histories, and documents. The exhibition is part of “Celebrating Our Heroes,” a summer collaborative exhibition through September 2012 in Lubbock, Texas. The Museum of Texas Tech University, Science Spectrum and Silent Wings Museum are presenting World War II themed exhibits to honor the many Veterans who protect our freedom every day. Each museum has a schedule of events to commemorate our Veterans and educate our community. Schedules and updates for these events may be previewed on www.celebratingourheroes.com.

SOS SUPPLY OUR SCHOOLS: Lubbock ISD and United Supermarkets held a kickoff the “SOS – Supply Our Schools” school supply drive at the United Supermarket at 50th and Avenue Q. Shoppers can put school supplies in collection barrels at all nine United, Market Street and Amigos locations, or they can donate $1 to Project SOS as they check out. LISD Superintendent Karen Garza said about 65 percent of the district’s students are economically disadvantaged. Buying school supplies is a hardship for many families, especially for ones who have more than one child in school, she said. Pictured are Superintendent Karen Garza with some principals from LISD campuses.

En Aquellos Dias….

Era raro que una familia tuviera un televisión de color. Eran raras las familias mexicanas que tenian televisiónes. El primer televisión que mi papá compro era de segunda. Cuando se calentaban mucho los focos, se iba el retrato de la pantalla. El segundo que tuvimos, se tartaba como cinco minutos para que se calentaran los focos, luego se miraba el retrato en la pantalla. A veces le pegabamos en un lado y se prendia mas pronto. Cuando se quemaba un foco, nomas se lo quitabamos y ibamos a la tienda de Haskins y lo poniamos en una maquinita para

testiar los focos y luego comprabamos otro foco y etabamos encantados de la vida. Habia solamente dos estaciones de televisión. No habia cable ni “Dish”.

And population growth has also come with a rise in affluence and purchasing power, with some estimates ranking U.S. Hispanics as the 20th biggest economy in the world. So what are the challenges?

not an easy task, but absolutely doable. Find relevant ways of connecting your mission with Hispanic audiences and get the message out. The second is cultural transformation. While U.S. Hispanics have a long history of sending money to relatives back in their country of origin, donations are not core to Hispanic culture. Church is the one exception. It’d be foolhardy for non-profits to change that. But luckily, they may not have to. Instead, they should target their message to second and third generation Hispanics, who are likely to be more acculturated to the U.S. and less likely to have as many relatives abroad. Every challenge presents an opportunity. It’s time for non-profits to seize it, or they may cease to exist.

Encuentra maneras relevantes de conectar tu misión con audiencias hispanas y propaga el mensaje. La segunda transformación es cultural. Mientras los hispanos estadounidenses tienen una historia larga de enviar dinero a sus parientes en su país de origen, las donaciones no son clave a la cultura hispana. La iglesia es la única excepción. Sería imprudente si las organizaciones no lucrativas lo cambiara. Pero por suerte, tal vez no lo tienen que hacer. En lugar de eso, deben apuntar su mensaje a hispanos de segunda o tercera generación , que es probable que sean más aculturados a Estados Unidos y menos probables de tener tantos parientes en el extranjero. Con cada desafío se presenta una oportunidad. Ya es la hora para que las organizaciones no lucrativas aprovechen o pueden dejar de existir.

GOLF TIPS JIMMY SAENZ

Tip: You would be surprised if I told you that the lack of distance in your game may not be your swing and that it is in the equipment you play. 85% of all golfers will go out and buy the biggest and best brand name products they can find and also think they can hit it 300 yards. I promise you don't need that stiff shaft in your clubs or play a Pro V ball. The lack of distance is coming from not playing the proper equipment, because you don't have the swing speed to compress the ball thus causing your power leak. Swinging faster will not solve your distance problems so make sure before your next purchase play what is right for you. Editor's Note: Jimmy Saenz is head pro and general manager for Stonegate Golf Course. Contact him at tincup599@gmail.com

from everybody as football two a days and all the training camps are in full swing as August sneaks in. Let us hold on just a bit because the Rangers are in the thick of things again, but now there have been some unexpected situations that will make an impact on them depending on what they do. Colby Lewis, starting right-handed pitcher will not play for the rest of this year and probably for the last time in a Ranger uniform. The 31st of July was the trade deadline, and I do not know if they made a move by then due to my deadline. Josh Hamilton has shown to be mortal, as he has struggled lately and even causing team president Nolan Ryan to make comments on his at bats which is not a very good sign especially in a contract year. What most likely happened is that they brought up a pitcher or two from their farm system, and instructed Josh to have better at bats and not be afraid to take a walk. Watch the middle of the month as they start a east coast swing that will include a clash with the Yankees, who by the way seems to be the team most likely to be matched up against them in the playoffs and odds are it will also be for home field advantage. Enough about them though, let’s talk about what we all have right now and that is pigskin fever. Tech is picked to finish in the bottom half of the

Big 12 and the big question no one wants to answer is if Tuberville is in the hot seat if the season doesn’t go as planned. Go easy, and be ready to see what improvements he has in place and how well they compete against the new teams, because the pecking order will be set and no one wants Tech to be below TCU or West Virginia in the standings in their first year, or ever. If they are to finish better than what everyone thinks, they will need the return of their injured players including Alex Torres and running back Eric Stephens. Stephens has admitted he is only around 80%, so someone else will have to step up if this offense is going to be relied on to carry the team. One thing for sure is that Tech cannot afford to have any more injuries before the start of the season. The Cowboys on the other hand need to keep their receivers from any more off the field issues because that certainly seems to be their thinnest position this year. Watch the preseason games and see the offensive line reshuffled with Doug Free and Tyron Smith switching sides, and a bunch of other lesser known’s trying to make the team. That was one of their weaknesses last year, so hopefully they can improve the position with what they have in place if not it will be a long year. Last but not least, the scrutiny will fall on Jason Garrett and his

coaching style and how he handles the team in pressure situations. Jerry Jones has admitted that Jason is still a little green but that he has more upside as he gains experience. I don’t think Jerry has that much patience at 70 years old because he knows the window is closing fast. Give Garrett the benefit of the doubt, but he needs to grow up fast from his baseball cap into the big boy fedora, Tom Landry style. August, finally.
