Solo queríamos tomarnos un minuto para expresar nuestra sincera gratitud a nuestros patrocinadores, voluntarios y simpatizantes que hicieron que la lista de eventos del 2018 sea la más exitosa de nuestra historia.

Sin su generosidad y apoyo, simplemente no podríamos seguir cumpliendo nuestra misión con los niños de nuestra comunidad y ayudar a que Hazleton sea el mejor ambiente posible para todos nuestros ciudadanos.

Estamos profundamente agradecidos y realmente en deuda con la gente de Hazleton que le está mostrando al mundo cómo las diferencias en las personas son muy superadas por nuestra humanidad común.

Thank You

from Joe & Jaye Maddon and the Hazleton Integration Project.

We just wanted to take a minute to express our heartfelt gratitude to our many sponsors, volunteers and supporters who made the 2018 slate of events the most successful in our history.

Without your generosity and support we simply could not continue to fulfill our mission to the children of our community and to help make Hazleton the best possible environment for all of our citizens.

We are deeply grateful and truly indebted to the people of Hazleton who are showing the world how the differences in people are far outweighed by our common humanity.

HIP: Where the money goes It was just about eight years ago when Joe and Jaye Maddon first began working with a group of friends and family members on a plan that would later become the Hazleton One Community Center. On the one hand, it is hard to believe so much time has gone by since the summer of 2013 when we opened the doors to the center for the very first time.

On the other hand, Hazleton One has become so engrained in the fabric of our city it feels like it has been on Fourth Street for a hundred years.

What is certain is that in a relatively short span of time literally thousands of people have come through our doors. And, over that time we have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to make our center a viable and sustainable building where Hazleton’s children can grow and learn and play safely.

Without the overwhelming and continued support of the people of Northeast Pennsylvania we simply could not achieve our mission of providing opportunities for children who come from families that might be economically disadvantaged. Every dollar we have raised has gone to help “level the playing field” for those children.

From our fully accredited, all day bilingual Pre-K Time 2 Learn program, through our HIP Afterschool Scholars, we depend on the generosity of our local supporters and businesses. Example? We charge the grand sum

of $5 per student each week for our daily 2½ hour afterschool program; obviously far below the actual cost of operation. The curriculum for “Scholars” is the STEAM based, Engineering for Everyone, and Penn State University has been instrumental helping with coordination. Many of our students also benefit from weekly, virtual tutoring with Penn State Education Majors utilizing the SKYPE program.

Our full-day, HIP Summer Camp that runs Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM for six weeks beginning in July and running through mid-August. The curriculum for our weekly-themed camp program is written by a PhD from Lock Haven University, and the cost per student is just $20/ week; again, far below our operational costs.

In fact, every kid’s program we offer, whether athletic, cultural or educational, is priced far lower than our costs to run it.

That is one of the main reasons that HIP was honored by the prestigious Atlantic Monthly/ Allstate Renewal Award for 2019.

So, when you attend a HIP event, provide our organization with a grant or make a donation you can be certain that we will be careful stewards of the money you entrust us with and the ultimate beneficiaries will be the children of our community. That is our mission and that is our pledge to you.

L12 HazletonToday/HazletonHoy HZ_STANDSPEAK/SPECIAL_SECTION/PAGES [L12] | 02/26/19

HIP: Donde va el dinero Hace aproximadamente ocho años, cuando Joe y Jaye Maddon comenzaron a trabajar con un grupo de amigos y familiares en un plan que luego se convertiría en el Centro Comunitario de Hazleton One. Por un lado, es difícil creer que haya pasado tanto tiempo desde el verano de 2013 cuando abrimos las puertas del centro por primera vez. Por otro lado, Hazleton One ha quedado tan grabado en el tejido de nuestra ciudad que parece que ha estado en la calle Cuarta durante cien años.

Lo que es seguro es que, en un lapso relativamente corto, literalmente miles de personas han pasado por nuestras puertas. Y, durante ese tiempo, hemos recaudado cientos de miles de dólares para hacer de nuestro centro un edificio viable y sostenible donde los niños de Hazleton puedan crecer, aprender y jugar de manera segura. Sin el apoyo abrumador y continuo de la gente del noreste de Pensilvania, simplemente no podríamos lograr nuestra misión de brindar oportunidades a los niños que provienen de familias que podrían estar en desventaja económica.

Cada dólar que hemos recaudado ha ido a ayudar a “nivelar el campo de juego” para esos niños.

Desde nuestro programa completamente acreditado de Pre-K Time 2 Learn, y nuestro HIP Afterschool Scholars, dependemos de la generosidad de gente generosas y sus contribuciones además empresas locales. ¿Ejemplo? Cobramos la gran suma de $ 5 por estudiante cada semana por nuestro programa dia-

rio de 2½ horas después de la escuela; Obviamente, muy por debajo del costo real de operación. El plan de estudios de “Académicos” está basado en STEAM, Ingeniería para Todos, y la Universidad de Penn State ha sido de gran ayuda para la coordinación. Muchos de nuestros estudiantes también se benefician de la tutoría virtual semanal de estudiantes con concentración en Educación de la Universidad de Penn State Education.

Nuestro campamento de verano de HIP de un día completo que se realiza de lunes a viernes de 10:00 a.m. a 3:00 pm, durante seis semanas a partir de julio y hasta mediados de agosto. El plan de estudios de nuestro programa de campamento semanal está escrito por un egresado con doctorado de la Universidad de Lock Haven y el costo por estudiante es de solo $ 20 por semana; De nuevo, muy por debajo de nuestros costos operativos.

De hecho, cada programa para niños que ofrecemos, ya sea atlético, cultural o educativo, tiene un precio mucho más bajo que nuestros costos de operación. Esa es una de las razones principales por las que HIP fue honrado por el prestigioso Atlantic Monthly / Allstate Renewal Award para el 2019. Por lo tanto, cuando asista a un evento HIP, le pedimos de favor que proporcione una donación a nuestra organización. Puede estar seguro de que seremos cuidadosos administradores del dinero que nos confían y los beneficiarios finales serán los hijos de nuestra comunidad.

Esa es nuestra misión y esa es nuestra promesa para ustedes.

Cocoa has a rich history The Mayan civilization worshiped the cocoa tree and gave it the Latin name and gave it its name as the cocoa tree which means “food of the gods.” It was used for many different purposes. The Mayans created a ritual beverage they shared during marriage ceremonies. Cocoa was used as a romantic gesture, and a Mayan man wishing to marry a Mayan woman could use cocoa to try and impress her. It was said to be more precious than gold so it was used as a form of money.

Supposedly the Aztec Emperor, Montezuma was quoted saying, “The divine drink, which builds up resistance and fights fatigue.

A cup of this precious drink permits a man to walk for a whole day without food.” The Aztecs used cocoa to create a form of “hot chocolate” or as they called it “xocolatl”

which means “bitter water.”

Eventually, the Spanish explorers discovered cocoa beans and began trading which gave them the upper hand on the chocolate market in Europe.

The cocoa bean became very popular in Europe, especially among the rich who were the only people able to afford to purchase it.

In the 1700’s a Frenchman the very first hot chocolate shop in London, and these shops were soon found throughout Europe.

These days, people across the world consume more than three million tons of cocoa beans each year!

The Swiss eat more chocolate than any other nation in the world. So this winter, sit back relax, and enjoy a steaming hot cup of cocoa.

Comida rápida una amenaza para la salud pública La comida rápida es un negocio de $103 mil millones dólares y más de 25,000 nuevos restaurantes de comida rápida abiertos entre los años 1995 y 1999. Hoy en día hay más de 50,000 cadenas de comida rápida a través de los Estados Unidos con Mcdonald’s siendo el más grande de todos ellos.

Es muy fácil conducir a través y conseguir comida barata. La comida barata y fácil es el arte de la razón la comida rápida es tan popular.

Hoy en día la comida rápida muestra ser una de las mayores amenazas para la salud pública de los que viven en los Estados Unidos. La comida rápida es casi tan peligrosa como el tabaquismo, el abuso de sustancias y la inactividad. También es alto en calorías, grasas saturadas y una fuente principal de grasas trans.

Según un estudio publicado en el Pub-

lic Heath Jour nal, las personas que comen alimentos rápidos son 51% más propensos a desarrollar depresión en comparación con aquellos que comen poca o ninguna comida rápida.

Y este hallazgo fue para las personas que sólo consumieron dos porciones de comida rápida a la semana. Otro estudio publicado en el Journal of Adolescence Health encontró que comer sólo una porción de papas fritas por semana durante la adolescencia aumentó el riesgo de cáncer de mama de las mujeres más adelante en la vida en un 27%.

Los niños de Estados Unidos no comen bien. Casi el 30 por ciento de los niños tienen sobrepeso, lo que ha aumentado más de 50 por ciento en los últimos 20 años. En general, los niños en los Estados Unidos comen demasiado, y gran parte de lo que comen es enfermizo.

Un estudio apoyado por el Consejo Nacional de investigación y el Instituto de medicina mostró que, además de la poca cantidad de dinero y poco acceso a la atención sanitaria, los niños inmigrantes son en realidad más saludables que sus homólogos nacidos en Estados Unidos.

Estos estudios también demuestran que tienen menos problemas de salud a corto y largo plazo. Esto es muy probable debido al hecho de que comen poca comida rápida.

Se ha descubierto que los niños que consumen dietas ricas en nutrientes son menos hiperactivos, menos malhumorados y más cooperativos. Si los niños comen comidas rápidas a menudo, será más difícil para ellos romper esos patrones más adelante en la vida.

According to a study published in the Public Heath Journal, people who eat fast foods are 51% more likely to develop depression compared to those who eat little or no fast food.

And this finding was for people who only consumed two servings of fast food a week. Another study published in the Journal of Adolescence Health found that eating just one serving of French fries per week during adolescence increased women’s breast cancer risk later in life by 27%.

U.S. children are not eating well. Almost 30 percent of children are overweight which has increased more than 50 percent in the last 20 years. In general, children in the United States eat too much, and much

to patronize the businesses that make Hazleton Today possible!

Fast food a public health threat Fast food is a $103 billion dollar business and more than 25,000 new fast food restaurants opened between the years of 1995 and 1999.

Today there are over 50,000 fast food chains throughout the United States with McDonald’s being the largest of them all.

It is very easy to drive through and get cheap food. The cheap and easy food is art of the reason fast food is so popular.

Today fast food shows to be one of the greatest public health threats to those living in the United States. Fast food is almost as dangerous as smoking, substance abuse, and inactivity. It is also high in calories, saturated fat and a principal source of trans fat.

Don’t forget

of what they eat is unhealthy.

A study supported by the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine showed that besides the little amount of money and little access to health care, immigrant children are actually healthier than their U.S. born counterparts. These studies also show they have fewer short and long term health problems. This is most likely due to the fact they eat little, if any, fast food.

Children who consume nutrient-rich diets have been found to be less hyperactive, less moody, and more cooperative. If kids eat fast foods often, it will be harder for them to break those patterns later in life.

Corredor de bienes raíces de muchos años se une a la agencia que una vez compitió Un corredor de bienes raíces de mucho tiempo cerró su oficina de Tamaqua y se unió a otra firma.

Robert McAloose de McAloose Real Estate se unió a Aggressive Realty en Conyngham como agente asociado, dijo el propietario Ken Temborski.

“Se unió a nosotros”, dijo Temborski.

“Cerró su oficina. Quería actualizarse con la tecnología “.

McAloose se acercó a Temborski para trabajar con él, dijo.

“Me impresionó su operación”, dijo McAloose. “Quería entrar en un mercado mejor.

Cerré mi oficina y transferí mi licencia “.

McAloose, quien ha estado en bienes raíces en el área por 45 años, dijo que aún le encanta vender y hacer listados, pero que ya no estaba interesado en ser un jefe.

“Me encantan los bienes raíces”, dijo. “No es trabajo si te gusta lo que haces.”

McAloose trae sus años de experiencia como vendedor y corredor a Aggressive, pero también es un subastador y tasador, dijo. Él también trae esas habilidades especiales con él, si la compañía necesita la ayuda, dijo.

Real estate broker for many years joins the agency that once competed

A long-time real estate broker closed his Tamaqua office and joined another firm.

Robert McAloose of McAloose Real Estate joined Aggressive Realty in Conyngham as an associate broker, owner Ken Temborski said.

“He joined us,” Temborski said. “He shut down his office. He wanted to step up with the technology.”

McAloose reached out to Temborski about working with him, he said.

“I was impressed with his operation,” McAloose said. “I wanted to get into a better market. I closed my office and transferred

my license.”

McAloose, who has been in real estate in the area for 45 years, said he still loves selling and listing, but was no longer interested in being a boss.

“I love real estate,” he said. “It’s not work when you enjoy what you do.”

McAloose brings his years of experience as a salesman and broker to Aggressive, but he is also an auctioneer and appraiser, he said.

He also brings those specialty skills with him, should the company need the help, he said.
