Nada es ms poderoso que una idea, es el punto de partida de la campaa Kony 2012. Y para reafirmar el concepto han iniciado una campaa meditica que pretende algo que por ms de 20 aos ha sido dejado de lado, y es que en Uganda est activo el ms grande genocida de los tiempos modernos, el enemigo pblico nmero uno de la humanidad, que ha no slo asesinado a miles de personas, sino que ha llevado su barbarie a reclutar nios por miles para consolidar su poder llevndoles incluso al extremo de asesinar a sus propios padres. Joseph Kony, tambin llamado el mesas del demonio, es el jefe indiscutido del Ejercito Unido de la Santa Salvacin y dentro de sus tcticas est el usar el agua bendita como un arma, y sus seguidores dicen que las balas no le hacen mella. Ha secuestrado y forzado a un estimado de 66.000 nios a luchar por ellos, y tambin ha forzado el desplazamiento interno de ms de 2 millones de personas desde que comenz su rebelin en 1986. Como resultado, en 2005 Kony fue condenado por crmenes de Guerra por la Corte Internacional Criminal de La Haya, pero desde entonces ha logrado evadir su captura. Ahora este grupo de nios invisibles, como se ha llamado el movimiento, ha tenido una sencilla pero poderosa idea, hacer famoso a Kony para exponerlo a la conciencia mundial y lograr finalmente su captura y poner fin a esta pesadilla de los nios de la guerra en el corazn de frica. La idea la estn promoviendo a travs de la red y al momento en que vi el video del que me envi el link mi hija que est estudiando en Mxico, ya lo haban visto casi 2 millones de personas y ahora que vuelvo a revisar ya son mas de 4 millones y medio y contando. Que la tecnologa ofrece ese enorme campo de militancia, no es cosa nueva, pero lo interesante en este caso es que se proyecta una accin global (a escala planetaria) sin ningn lder visible y por una idea humanitaria. El director del video Jason Russell comenta que el 20 de abril ser El da en que nos encontraremos al anochecer y tapizaremos cada calle de cada ciudad hasta que salga el sol. El resto del mundo se ir a dormir el viernes para despertar ante cientos de miles de posters demandando justicia. Ya hemos visto eventos en que el papel de los enlaces sociales ha jugado un rol preponderante, tumbando dictadores y movilizando sociedades estancadas por aos, pero no es lo mismo organizar la accin cotidiana y definitiva de las vidas de los habitantes de una nacin. Ser que el 21 fructificar la idea y sentar un precedente de la nueva manera de hacer poltica?

There is nothing more powerful than an idea; it is the starting point of the campaign Kony 2012. And to reinforce this concept, they have started a media campaign that pretends something that for more than 20 years has been set aside, and it is the fact that in Uganda is still active the greatest mass murderer of modern times, humanitys public enemy number one, who has not only assassinated thousands of people, but has extended his savagery to recruiting kids by the thousands to consolidate his power, forcing them even to the extreme of killing their own parents. Joseph Kony, also known as the messiah of the devil, is the undisputed leader of the Lords Resistance Army, and among his tactics is to use holly water as a weapon, and his followers say that bullets dont harm them. It has abducted and forced an estimated 66,000 children to fight for them, and has also forced the internal displacement of over 2,000,000 people since its rebellion began in 1986. As a result, in 2005 Kony was indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court at The Hague, but has succeeded in evading capture since. Now this group of invisible children, as the movement is called, has come up with a simple but powerful idea: to make Kony famous so that he can be exposed to the worldwide conscious and finally complete his capture and to put an end to this nightmare of the war kids in the heart of Africa. This idea is being promoted through the internet. My daughter, who is studying in Mexico, sent me the link to this video, and when I first saw it, it already had had almost 2 million views, and now that I see it again, the number of viewers has increased to more than 4.5 million and counting. It is no news that technology offers this enormous field of affiliation, but the interesting thing in this case is that there is a global action planned (worldwide scaled) with no visible leader and for an humanitarian cause. Jason Russell, director of the video, commented that April 20th will be The day when we will meet at sundown and blanket every street in every city until the sun comes up. The rest of the world will go to bed Friday night and wake up to hundreds of thousands of posters demanding justice. We have already seen events where the role of the social network has played a predominant part, overthrowing dictators and mobilizing societies that have been stuck for years, but it is not the same to organize the daily and definite lives of the inhabitants of a nation. Could it be possible that the 21st will prove the idea fruitful and will set a precedent on the new way of making politics?

Cuidando a su Hijo
A menudo surge la pregunta sobre como proteger a los hijos de las madres indocumentadas.
Conocer el caso de Carlitos, el hijo de la guatemalteca Encarnacin Bail Romero en el estado de Missouri, quien fue adoptado por una pareja mientras ella estaba en la crcel, nos puso a pensar seriamente. Encarnacin fue enviada a la crcel despus de una redada del ICE en una planta de procesamiento de pollos en la que trabajaba en el 2007. Fue acusada de robo de identidad agravada y sentenciada a dos aos de crcel cuando su hijo Carlos tena 7 meses y nunca volvi a verlo. Abundan las particularidades en esta la adopcin, por ejemplo el juez Daniel Jones aprob los papeles de adopcin en base a que la madre no estaba cuidando al hijo (estaba en la crcel) sin que mediara en ningn momento la aprobacin de la madre para tal procedimiento. De acuerdo a un informe del Centro de Investigacin Aplicada Familias Destrozadas, para el verano de 2011, un estimado de 5.100 nios en 22 estados estaba en cuidado temporal luego de que sus padres fueran bien detenidos o deportados. Los abogados de inmigracin y los defensores del bienestar de los nios dicen que un nmero pequeo pero preocupante de nios, como Carlos, fueron dados en adopcin a familias norteamericanas luego de que sus padres biolgicos fueran despojados de sus derechos paternales. En Delaware corren rumores sobre este tema que han preocupado a muchas personas en la comunidad, por lo cual El Tiempo Hispano convers con Victoria Kelly Directora de la Divisin de Servicios a las Familias del Departamento de los Nios y sus Familias. La seora Kelly tiene slo 6 meses en el cargo, pero cuenta con una experiencia de ms de 30 aos trabajando con nios en el sector pblico y privado. Kelly explic parte del proceso que la Divisin lleva a cabo en caso de que se detecte abuso contra un nio. En primer lugar la Divisin tiene una lnea abierta las 24 horas para recibir reportes sobre abuso infantil de todo el estado. Al recibir un reporte se evala y en el caso de que el reporte sea aceptado, porque no todos lo son, y si se cumple los estndares legales, se procede con una investigacin y al final de ella se puede decidir si est legalmente sustentada o no. El segundo paso es el servicio de tratamiento y consejera para los padres. Durante este perodo el nio permanece en su hogar y la idea es brindarles apoyo y conectarlos con los servicios del Departamento. Muchas veces la gente piensa que slo hacemos las investigaciones para sacar a los nios de sus hogares, cuando la verdad es que hacemos todo lo posible para que los nios permanezcan con sus familias y para darles el apoyo que necesitan para estar seguros en sus casas, agrega la Directora. Si esto no puede hacerse de manera segura, entonces se enva al nio a cuidado temporal (foster care) que es provisto tanto por la agencia como por proveedores privados contratados por la agencia. El objetivo cuando un nio va a un hogar de cuidado temporal es la reunificacin, trabajando con la familia para que el nio pueda volver a su hogar tan pronto sea posible y est seguro. El 80 por ciento de los nios en cuidado temporal vuelven a casa en menos de dos aos, dice Kelly. Aquellos que no pueden volver seguros a sus casas van al programa de adopcin, pero todos los procesos de cuidado temporal y adopcin no los hace la Divisin de manera independiente sino a travs de la corte de familia que dirige cada uno de esos pasos. Mucha gente piensa que nosotros tomamos a los nios y tomamos todas la decisiones, pero no es as, aclara Kelly. Cuando hay situaciones de violencia entre los padres, lo primero que hacemos es remitirlos a los servicios de violencia domstica buscando que resuelvan sus diferencias en el caso, y podra no haber ninguna investigacin. Pero en el caso de que la pelea sea muy seria y el nio este resentido o pudo haber sido herido, se inicia la investigacin. Esta investigacin implica la conversacin con ambos padres y el hijo, si tiene la edad suficiente para hablar sobre el incidente, y tambin con las llamadas personas colaterales (como por ejemplo el pediatra y otros profesionales que conozcan la familia) para determinar cmo est el nio. Que sucede con el caso de las familias que no hablan ingls? Tenemos algn personal bilinge que, en caso de estar disponible en un momento de crisis, asisten al investigador. Tambin los servicios de violencia domstica tienen personal bilinge las 24 horas al da, pero la divisin contrata los servicios de interpretacin a travs de otra agencia. Cundo le quitan al nio a la mam, en qu situaciones? En el caso de una pelea con violencia en que, por ejemplo, la madre est cargando al nio y sea golpeada por el compaero, o al revs. Lo que se busca en primer lugar es la seguridad del nio, sin embargo nuestra primera preferencia es siempre mantener al nio con su madre. Hay situaciones en que la mujer tiene miedo de llamar a la polica sobre todo si es indocumentada y puede estar en una situacin de riesgo, ella y su bebe. Cada situacin es diferente y debe ser muy grave para que el nio sea alejado de su madre. Insisto, nuestra prioridad es la seguridad del nio, y en cualquier, caso el procedimiento es llamar a la lnea de atencin de 24 horas de la corte, y bajo las circunstancias el juez, y slo l, decide como se debe proceder. Por ley federal debemos cumplir un procedimiento estndar llamado esfuerzo razonable para evitar que los nios ingresen al sistema de cuidado temporal foster care y slo despus de esto, el juez da el permiso legal para remover el nio de su hogar. Segn la experiencia de personas que han trabajado por aos con las familias hispanas de Delaware, los servicios de interpretacin dejan mucho que desear. Pareciera que fueran hechas por un traductor electrnico puesto que el sentido se pierde por completo. El desconocimiento del ingls por parte de las familias y la falta de servicios de interpretacin de calidad, hacen la situacin difcil a la hora de entender el proceso legal de custodia de un menor. Al cuestionar sobre esto, Kelly dijo que al ser un servicio contratado, el dar un buen servicio en verdad est en manos de la agencia profesional que ha ganado el contrato. Pero no pudo facilitarnos los nombres de esas compaas para verificar qu procedimientos llevan a cabo para revisar las credenciales del personal que contratan para brindar este servicio. Sin embargo, de acuerdo a mi experiencia, tener los intrpretes es slo una parte de la ecuacin, ya que hay mucha diversidad en el mundo hispano, muchas diferencias culturales que ponen las cosas mas difciles, asegura Kelly, lo importante en realidad es qu se debe hacer antes de que una situacin se presente. Ante todo, tener un plan de seguridad, explica Kelly, familia, amigos que le puedan dar apoyo y le puedan ayudar en un momento dado. Esto es importante para nosotros, continua, porque la madre no est sola.
En muchos casos es el hombre el que trabaja y tiene relaciones sociales, mientras que la mujer esta muy limitada y a veces desamparada. Por eso es importante que est preparada, que tenga un plan de seguridad. En todo caso luego de que se inicia un procedimiento en que el nio o bien va a cuidado temporal o se queda con uno de los padres, en un plazo mximo de 10 das deben ir a la corte a una audiencia preliminar, y los padres (cada uno) tiene el derecho de que la corte les asigne un abogado si no pueden pagar uno y un intrprete en caso de que lo necesiten Y esto es importante porque es en Delaware, en otros estados no. Hasta hace pocos aos los padres no tenan ninguna representacin legal. En esta audiencia el juez toma la decisin, o bien de devolver el nio a sus padres o mantener la custodia temporal mientras que el padre o la madre segn sea el caso, puede pedirles que tomen algunas medidas. 30 das ms tarde tiene lugar la audiencia de adjudicacin en la que se escuchan todos los planteamientos de los dos lados. En este punto el Juez decide las medidas futuras que debe tomar la Divisin de Servicios a la Familia. Luego, en Delaware, cada 3 meses el juez evala el progreso y hace un seguimiento del caso para tomar una decisin final sobre la custodia. El proceso es muy intimidante y nunca est de mas tener ayuda, y no tiene nada que ver si tienen papeles o no, si no de cul es el mejor inters del nio, asegura Kelly. Adems coment que pareciera haber actualmente una tendencia de los jueces a darle la custodia al padre en lugar de a la madre, como se haca tradicionalmente, una suerte de compensacin histrica. Finalmente le gustara aclarar que los servicios para las familias histricamente fueron creados para ser un servicio de proteccin infantil y este ao estamos tratando de ir en una direccin diferente, sin olvidar el mandato legal. El trmino tcnico es respuesta diferencial (differential response), lo cual quiere decir que estamos tratando de crear vas alternativas para dar una atencin ms integral a las familias, incluyendo los aspectos sociales. Nuestro objetivo es mantener las familias intactas de una manera segura; cada nio adoptado es una falla para nosotros. Siempre ayuda para resolver una crisis, y como el tema es tan extenso, en el futuro publicaremos otros artculos sobre este tema.

Taking Care of your Child
The question on how to protect the children of undocumented mothers frequently comes up.
> Gabriel Pilonieta-Blanco Hearing about Carlitos case, son of the Guatemalan Encarnacin Bail Romero in Missouri, who was adopted by a couple while she was in jail, made us seriously think about it. Encarnacin was put in jail after a raid was carried out by the ICE in a chicken processing plant where she worked in 2007. She was charged with aggravated identity theft and sentenced to two years in prison when her son Carlos was 7 months and she never got to see him again. The peculiarities of this case are more than a few, like for instance, Judge Daniel Jones approved the adoption papers based on the fact that the mother was not taking care of the child (she was in jail) without the mothers approval for such a procedure. According to a report from the Applied Research Center, Shattered Families, as of the summer of 2011 an estimated 5,100 children in 22 states were in foster care after their parents were either detained or deported. Immigration attorneys and childrens welfare advocates say a small but troubling number, like Carlos, have been put up for adoption to American families after their birth parents were stripped of their parental rights. In Delaware, rumors about this situation have many people in the community worried, reason why El Tiempo Hispano had a conversation with Victoria Kelly, Director of the Division of Family Services of Delawares Department of Services for Children and Their Families. Mrs. Kelly has only been in office 6 months, but has an experience of over 30 years working with children in the public and private sector. Kelly explained part of the process that the Division undertakes if an abuse against a child is detected. First, the Division has a 24-hour helpline to receive reports about child abuse throughout the state. When a report comes in it is evaluated, and if it is accepted, because not all of them are, and if it complies with the legal standards, then an investigation takes place, and by the end of it, it can be determined if it is legally supported or not. The second step is the treatment and counseling service for the parents. During this period the child remains at home and the idea is to give them support and to connect them with the Departments services. Many times people think we investigate the cases just to take the children away from their homes, when the truth is that we do everything possible for the children to remain with their families and give the children the support needed so that they can be safe at home, adds the Director. When this cannot be done in a safe way, the children are sent to foster care, which is provided by the agency or by private organizations hired by the agency. The objective of sending a child to foster care is to achieve reunification, working with the family so that the child can return home as soon as possible and in a safe way. 80 percent of children in foster care return home in less than two years, says Kelly. Those who cannot return home safely are sent to the adoption program, but all of the foster care and adoption processes are not done independently by the Division, but through the family court which is the entity directing each one of these steps. Many people think we take the children and that we make all of the decisions, but this is not so, say Kelly. When there is violence among the parents, the first thing we do is to refer them to the domestic violence services hoping they can resolve their differences, and an investigation cannot be conducted. But if the fight is serious and the child is suffering or could have been hurt, an investigation is opened. This investigation comprises a conversation with both parents and the child, if he/she is old enough to talk about the situation, and also a conversation with collateral people (like for instance, the pediatrician or other professionals that know the family) to establish how is the child doing. What happens with the families that do not speak English? We have some bilingual personnel that, if available in a crisis, assist the investigator. The domestic violence services also have bilingual personnel 24 hours-a-day, but the Division hired interpretation services through another agency. When is a child taken away from the mother, in what situations? In a case of a violent fight where, for instance, the mother is carrying the child and she gets hit by her partner, or the other way around. What we are looking for in the first place is the childs safety; however our first priority is always to keep the child with the mother. There are situations where the woman is afraid of calling the police, especially if she is undocumented and could be at risk, she and her baby. Each situation is different, and it has to be very serious for the child to be taken from the mother. I insist, our priority is the safety of the child, and in any case, the way to proceed is to call the courts 24-hour helpline, and under the circumstances the judge, and only him, shall decide how to proceed. By federal law we must comply with a standard procedure called reasonable effort to prevent children coming in foster care, and only after this, the judge grants legal permission to remove the child from the home. According to the experience of people that have been working for years with Hispanic families in Delaware, the interpretation services is not up to expectations. They seem to have been made by an electronic translator because the true meaning is completely lost. The families not speaking English and the lack of good quality interpretation services makes the situation more difficult when it comes to understanding the legal procedure regarding a minors custody.

When asked about this, Kelly stated that because this is a contracted service, it is actually in the hands of the professional agency that has won the bid to provide a good quality service. But she couldnt provide us with the names of these companies to verify what procedures they have in place to verify the credentials of the personnel hired to provide this service. However, according to my experience, having the interpreters is just a part of the equation, given that there is such diversity among Hispanics, many cultural differences that make things harder, says Kelly, the really important thing is what must be done before a situation arises.

Un Punto de Vista A Matter Of View
| Keyla I. Rivero-Rodriguez
Primavera!
Todava me cuesta creer que el 20 de marzo, exactamente a la 1:14 am comenzar la primavera en el Hemisferio Norte. Pero si miras a tu alrededor, podras pensar que la primavera ya ha estado aqu con nosotros durante las ltimas semanas. En las casi tres dcadas que llevo viviendo en Delaware, nunca haba experimentado un invierno tan suave. Es realmente increble el clima tan benigno que este invierno nos ha dado. Pero as como comienza la primavera, tambin comienza el aumento de las horas de luz del da, las temperaturas ms calientes, amaneceres y atardeceres espectaculares, despus de todo, es el renacimiento y el despertar de la flora y la fauna. Recuerden que las palabras Equinoccio de Primavera vienen del latn noche igual. Esto significa que durante los equinoccios de primavera y de otoo experimentamos la misma cantidad de luz de da que de noche. Recuerdo haber ledo que esto sucede porque, en este momento, el sol cruza el ecuador celestial y en los equinoccios, la inclinacin de la Tierra en relacin con el Sol es cero, lo cual significa que el eje de la Tierra no apunta hacia el Sol pero tampoco en direccin contraria. Siempre me ha fascinado el estudio de la astronoma. Recuerdo que en mis aos universitarios, tom una clase de astronoma como materia electiva y fue realmente fascinante aprender tanto sobre nuestro planeta, nuestro sistema solar y la interaccin que nuestra constelacin tiene con el resto del cosmos. En mi opinin, ste es uno de los mejores momentos para observar los astros, recuerdo cun divertido era identificar lo que observbamos y llevar un registro de lo visto en ese momento, y unos meses despus nuevamente registrbamos nuestras observaciones para darnos cuenta de que lo que estaba all unos meses atrs se haba movido. Todava me asombra. Este ao, la Hora de la Tierra se llevar a cabo el sbado 31 de marzo a las 8:30 pm. En caso de que se les haya olvidado o de que se estn preguntando qu es la Hora de la Tierra, es un evento anual reservado para apagar todas las luces por una hora para pronunciarse en contra y crear consciencia sobre los cambios climticos. Este evento se ha programado para el ltimo sbado de cada mes de marzo, coincidiendo cercanamente con el equinoccio, de esta manera se asegura que la mayora de las ciudades en el mundo estn en penumbras al extenderse alrededor de la Tierra. De acuerdo al grupo World Wildlife Fund (WWF), la Hora de la Tierra 2011 vio como cientos de millones de personas a lo largo de 135 pases apagaron sus luces por una hora. Pero tambin marc el comienzo de algo nuevo ir Ms All de la Hora y comprometerse a tomar acciones duraderas con respecto a los cambios climatolgicos. Y con el poder de las redes sociales respaldando el mensaje de la Hora de la Tierra, aspiramos atraer inclusive ms participacin para que podamos construir una verdadera comunidad global comprometida a crear un planeta ms sostenible. Entonces, permtanme recapitular, la primavera llega el 20 de marzo y la Hora de la Tierra 2012 ser el sbado 31 de marzo de 8:30 pm a 9:30 pm. Cmo me gusta su slogan la Hora de la Tierra, uniendo personas para proteger el planeta.
spring!
It is still hard for me to grasp the concept that on March 20th at exactly 1:14 A.M. Spring will commence in the Northern Hemisphere. But if you look around, you would think that spring has been with us for the past few weeks. In the almost three decades that I have lived in Delaware, I have never experienced such a mild winter. It is truly unbelievable the mildness weather that this winter has provided us with. But as spring commences so will the increase of daylight, warmer temperatures, awesome sunrises and sunsets, after all, it is the rebirth and the awakening of the flora and fauna. Remember that the words Vernal Equinox comes from the Latin words equal night. This means that during the spring and fall equinoxes, we experience equal amount of daylight and nighttime. I remember reading that this was because at this time the Sun crosses the celestial equator and at the equinoxes, the tilt of Earth relative to the Sun is zero, which means that Earths axis neither points toward nor away from the Sun. I have always been fascinated by the study of astronomy. I remember that during my college years, I took an astronomy class as an elective class and it was truly fascinating to learn so much about our planet, our solar system and our interaction our constellation has with the rest of the cosmos. In my opinion, this is one of the best times to do some stargazing, I remember how much fun it was identifying what we saw and kept record of it then, a few months later, you again record new observations in order to realize that what was there a few months back had move. It still amazes me. This year, Earth Hour will take place on Saturday March the 31st at 8:30p.m. In case you forgot or you may be wondering what is Earth Hour? It is now an annual event that has been set aside to switch off all lights for one hour in order to take a stand and make awareness against climate change. This event has been scheduled on the last Saturday of every March, closely coinciding with the equinox, this way it will ensure that most cities in the world are in darkness as it rolled out around the Earth. According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Earth Hour 2011 saw hundreds of millions of people across 135 countries switch off for an hour. But it also marked the start of something new going Beyond the Hour to commit to lasting action on climate change. And with the power of social networks behind the Earth Hour message, we hope to attract even more participation so we can build a truly global community committed to creating a more sustainable planet. Then, let me re-cap for you, spring will arrive on March 20th and Earth Hour 2012 will be on Saturday 31st of March from 8:30 to 9:30pm. I do like their slogan Earth Hour, Uniting People to Protect the Planet

DefeNse CUts eNDANger OUr NAtiONAl seCUrity
The 2013 Defense Department budget cuts military spending by $487 billion over 10 years, which translates into eliminating six Air Force fighter squadrons, cutting 16 ships from the Navy, and reducing the Army and Marine Corps by 80,000 to 100,000 troops over five years. Our thinking is that future wars will be fought with more high technology weapons and fewer troops. The problem is we could lose highly qualified military personnel because of the cutbacks. The end result could mean we will have a plethora of high technology weapon systems available, but lack the quantity and quality of non-commissioned and commissioned military leaders to employ the equipment. Another $600 billion in defense cuts could be enacted if Congress does not act to change current laws. Unfortunately, our military strategy might be faulty. Lets look at a few countries who could be potential adversaries. China has a multi-million man army and a large air force. It is upgrading its missile systems and developing anti-ship missiles that could threaten U.S. naval forces. It is in the process of deploying two aircraft carriers and building up its submarine fleet. China seeks to dominate Southeast Asia and wants to annex Taiwan. It is a close ally of North Korea. North Korea has a million man army and continues to expand its missile capabilities. It poses a threat to South Korea, and maintains a goal of uniting Korea under its domain. It has nuclear weapons and continues to sell nuclear and missile technology to a number of countries, including Iran. Iran threatens the Middle East region with an aggressive attitude and the potential development of nuclear weapons. It has missile systems capable of hitting targets in other Arab countries, Israel and Western Europe. Iran has acquired some submarines and is building up its navy. It has a close relationship with Venezuela and might want to establish a naval base in that country. Venezuela threatens South American and Central American countries. President Chavez is friendly with Castro of Cuba, and has developed a military relationship with Russia. He has purchased a significant quantity of arms from Russia and has allowed Russian warships to use Venezuelan port facilities. Russia is a Communist country that could still threaten world peace. It supports Irans nuclear program, and it is upgrading its land military forces with the latest weaponry and is refurbishing its navy. Another concern for the U.S. is the potential rise of radical Islamists in a number of countries in North Africa and the Middle East. As the totalitarian governments in the region fail, they could be replaced with Islamic forces who might implement Sharia law and who could be antagonistic and possibly adversarial to the U.S. The weakening of the U.S. military with the proposed budget cuts could embolden potential adversaries to expand militarily in their respective regions. We need to maintain a strong military posture to protect our national security and promote peace in the world by deterring potential adversaries from launching military adventures. Donald A. Moskowitz Former PO2 and LT, U.S. Navy, Londonderry, NH
Why NegAtiVe ADs Are gOOD fOr the COUNtry

Its undemocratic to be negative about negative ads. That said, there are some politicians who misuse negative ads, and Ill get to that in a moment. In a democracy, negative ads play an important role. In a representative democracy which is what the United States is, rather than a true democracy -- there is a valuable place for negativism. We need it. We cannot really continue to be safe and comfortable democracy without the negativism that negative ads produce. Our country was founded on the principle of inherent equality of all people, and on the opportunity of all people to succeed based on their own efforts. Ours is not a power structure based on wealth or military power. In this country, we protect the rights and the role of the less fortunate and the less capable. So what happens if some of us are more capable of selling ourselves, and our ideas, to others? What happens if some people are just better speakers than others? And what happens if those people, and those ideas, are hurtful to other citizens? What happens if those people and those ideas are hidden, or misrepresented, or subject to change without notice? What happens to the democracy then? Deception, deceit, degradation, and the demise of the democracy. Thats what happens. This is where negative ads become very valuable. Our democracy carries within it the concept of the Loyal Opposition. It is the opportunity of those who see deception, misrepresentation, or deceit to bring that to the attention to the rest of us who may not see those things. In fact, I see it as the obligation of those who see injustice to bring it to the attention of the rest of us. The Loyal Opposition gets its name in our democracy because we depend on those who are opposed to the ideas of others to unearth and expose those inequities. Our political system is, perhaps, the most popular example of where the Loyal Opposition is, or should be, at work. The Loyal Opposition, whether they be Republican, Democratic, Green Party, Libertarian, or whatever, has more than the opportunity to expose the frailties and falsehoods of the other side. To be truly loyal to the democracy, it is the obligation of the other side -- the opposition -- to help the rest of us see the truth, as their side sees it. In the name of a good representative democracy, if you are opposed to a person or an idea, a philosophy, etc., it is not negative to show the truth as you see it. A negative ad is only negative to those who oppose the thought being presented. In a healthy democracy, when both or all sides of an issue are aired, the truth of the issue is decided by the voters. This is essentially what our elections are about. So negative ads should be seen as important because they help us understand the shortcomings of a person or idea. That is the basis of the origin of Rhetoric. It was the process of exploring, explaining, exposing all sides of an issue so the truth, the right, would eventually be revealed. Thank you , Aristotle. Unfortunately, as important as negative ads are to the process of finding the truth and the right, we see those particularly, those in politics -- who use negative ads to propagate falsehoods and misinterpretations. In politics, we see those who would use negative ads solely to tear down their opposition without bothering to build a positive message regarding their own efforts. Im afraid the concept of loyal opposition has been
co-opted by a few who hide behind its veil to infect the political arena, and in the rest of us in the arena, with the unhealthy odor of deception and deceit as a way to gain personal power. It should anger and disgust all of us when any candidate uses this precious opportunity and benefit of a democracy to distort the colorful and fruitful experience of free elections with the chalk and crayons of slander, innuendo, and fear. If only our democracy had a way to punish and/or prevent those purveyors of this mud slinging, and allow negative ads to do the job they should be doing for the greater good. Our country needs good, loyal negative ads.

America should empower entrepreneurs to create jobs in rural communities. Congress needs to invest in the Rural Microentrepreneur Assistance Program to provide much needed lending capital and technical assistance to small, rural business start-ups. Likewise, Congress should enact the Rural Microbusiness Investment Credit Act to generate investment in both start-up and expanding rural small businesses by providing a 35% federal tax credit to rural entrepreneurs who invest in their own small businesses. These proven strategies create rural jobs. And history proves that entrepreneurs can lead us out of recession, as they did last time when microenterprise employment grew by 9% nationally while big firms were shedding jobs. But rural entrepreneurs have even more to offer. Brandon Raby, the Center for Rural Affairs 2011 Entrepreneur of the Year, learned from 20 years of skateboarding that a skate shop is a crucial element of skate culture, so he opened Caravan Skate Shop in North Platte, Nebraska. Brandon also plays an active role in a local youth organization named Skate and Create, which secured $30,000 from the city to help design and construct a skate park. Caravan Skate Shop is also a place where youth can discuss skating, watch skate videos, and hang out. Brandon enjoys serving as mentor and providing skaters a place to be without negative consequences. We celebrate entrepreneurs because of their contributions to our rural communities - jobs, revenue, economic opportunities and much more. As a nation, we should invest in entrepreneurs for the same reason. John Crabtree, johnc@cfra.org, Center for Rural Affairs

State Rep Ruth Briggs King for Re-election

On the occasion of Leap Day, State Rep. Ruth Briggs King (R-Georgetown) leapt into the 2012 political race by filing to seek re-election for the 37th Representative District she currently serves.
The three-year incumbent legislator first won her seat in 2009, after prevailing in a special election. In the ongoing 146th General Assembly, Rep. King successfully supported the enactment of two tax cuts. House Bill 127, which she co-sponsored, reduced the gross receipts tax. House Bill 128 rolled-back the top personal income tax rate from 6.95 percent to 6.75 percent. Additionally, Rep. King co-sponsored a new law (House Bill 5) to increase the transparency of government by limiting the time in which state agencies and other public bodies must respond to a Freedom of Information Act request. Rep. King serves on the influential Joint Finance Committee the group of 12 legislators charged with writing the states multi-billion operating budget. Additionally, she sits on five other House committees including: Education; Transportation, Land Use & Infrastructure; and Public Safety & Homeland Security. Rep. King also serves on Delawares Cancer Consortium, the Delaware Beach Bay Workgroup and the Childs Mental Health Needs Study Group. Rep. Kings community service extends beyond the legislature as part of the Georgetown CHEER Centers Board of Directors and as a member of the Georgetown-Millsboro Rotary, the Overfalls Foundation, the Georgetown Economic Development Workgroup, the Lewes Chamber of Commerce, Friends of Cape Henlopen State Park and the Delaware Sea Grant Advisory Council. At the moment, the 37th District includes Georgetown and Lewes, but that will soon change. The districts lines were drastically shifted in the redistricting process. Lewes and other parts of the district were removed, with the boundaries shifted southeast to include Long Neck. By some estimates, upwards of 40 percent of the voters that select the 37th Districts next state representative in November do not currently live within its confines. The 37th was arguably the most radically realigned of the 41 districts in the State House, Rep. King said. While I do not have the advantage typically associated with an incumbent, Im hopeful my proven dedication to my constituents will win me the good will of the people I have not yet had an opportunity to serve. A former teacher, Rep. King has earned a bachelors degree in Business and a masters degree in Human Resources. She is married to her husband, Stanley. The couple has two adult children Jared and Justin and two grandchildren.

We shared mass with Fr. Regino and the community After the final blessing, while some announcements were being made, two sweet young girls, perhaps 4 or 5, tapped on my arm. Their heads were just above my arm, with the widest dark eyes and biggest smiles you can imagine. We chatted a few words; they giggled and ran to their mother who flashed an even bigger smile with a look of thanks that went straight to my soul. The band (and it was good!) struck up of a song with Latin rhythms, and I left the church dancing. There was a young girl, perhaps 6-7 years old, in a red dress, and I asked Baila conmigo? She took my hands and we began to twirl and dance to the Latin rhythm for a minute or more. She was smiling. Then we had to part. It was not until later that evening, writing my notes, that I noticed I could still feel little fingers on my arm and tiny hands in mine (I can still feel them as I write this) that I thought to myself I was anointed today and realized who had done it. And throughout that day, I had been accompanying a living saint. -Sandy Landoll, Resurrection Church, Wilmington
About 25 years ago, Sisters Jane & Mary Lou started an amazing system of [volunteer] Health Promoters. There are about 175 of them actively providing their villages with a very basic level of health care, just above first aid, at a very low cost. Training takes 1 year of 6 basic courses each taking about 3 or 4 days. Travel to these courses is usually on foot and it takes a very supportive family to [financially] back up the student. At first most promoters were men, but women are coming forward now as well. We met intelligent and dedicated folks with a second to sixth grade education making a real difference in the health of their communityThey legally distribute 20 basic drugs recommended by the World Health Organization at a low price They work in diabetes education, treatment, and offering exercise sessions. They suture wounds. One married couple told moving stories of their service to soldiers in the field in front of their house during the war about 20 years ago. The promoters are the only choice for medical care in remote villages and are hugely important to their communities. One promoter was asked how long he intended to so this. He replied, I will serve until I die! -Jeannie Flemming from St. Ann, Bethany Beach.

Nos enorgullece poder ofrecer ayuda a familias para que puedan experimentar a Dios en un lugar para vivir seguro, decente y asequible.
Two Families under New Roofs

The Snchez Garrido and the Roblero Prez families receive the keys of their new homes in the Georgetown Point subdivision.
>Photography Eli Ramos / Neil Cotiaux In a ceremony held on February 24th, two Hispanic families received the keys of their new homes from Sussex County Habitat. These new homes for these Hispanic families were also blessed in this ceremony. Congressman John Carney presented a $250,000 grant to Habitat for Humanity to finance new housing projects in Sussex County. Congressman Carney was the keynote speaker at a dedication ceremony for two recently completed homes that opened their doors to new owners today in the Georgetown Point subdivision. The homes were part of the first phase of the Habitat project that is being built by volunteers in the community. The $250,000 grant, from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLBank) of Pittsburghs Affordable Housing Program (AHP), will help fund the second phase of construction. The AHP is administered by FHLBank with the assistance of local financial institutions including Fulton Bank, which helped Sussex County Habitat apply for the grant and is delivering the funds to the nonprofit. An earlier FHLBank grant, also for $250,000 and delivered by Fulton Bank, helped fund the first phase of the 22-home project. Every Delawarean should have a safe, affordable place to live and raise a family, said Congressman Carney. This grant is important to families in our community, and it Congressman Carney and the Roblero Perez family leads to other opportunities, such as homeowner education training and lessons in financial management, which help families improve their situation over the long term. I applaud the Federal Home Loan Bank and Sussex County Habitat for Humanity for their tremendous work in our state, and wish nothing but the best for the families who will soon be joining the Georgetown Point community. The Roblero Perez family consists of a couple and two young children who currently live in a trailer on a rented lot and share their home with other family members. The home lacks adequate heat and has significant structural problems. To support his family, Mr. Perez works at the local chicken processing plant. To prepare for homeownership, the couple has helped build their house, participated in classes on budgeting, saved to pay for closing costs, and attended homeowner education classes. The family is looking forward to warm nights in their new home. The Sanchez Garrido family consists of a couple, their two children and the wifes sister. Mr. Sanchez works in construction, doing electrical, plumbing and other work. The family lives in a rented trailer that lacks heat. The home also has significant structural problems. Like the Perez family, the Sanchez family helped build their home, attended budget and homeowner training classes, and saved to pay closing costs. They look forward to a place where their children can play safely. To qualify for a Habitat home, individuals or families must have incomes between 25 and 60 percent of the area median income. They must also contribute 250 hours of labor to help build their home or a neighbors home and pay closing costs on Habitats interest-free mortgage. All mortgage proceeds are used to support the construction of future Habitat homes. Habitat homeowners are neighbors who have experienced substandard housing and are now taxpaying, contributing members of their community, said Kevin Gilmore, executive director of Sussex County Habitat. We are proud to offer a hand-up to families so they may experience Gods love in a safe, decent, and affordable place to live.

Los mayas crean que el mundo se terminara en diciembre de 2012? Con MAYA 2012: Los Seores del Tiempo, una exhibicin de estreno mundial que se inaugura el 5 de mayo, el Penn Museum confronta la fascinacin actual con el ao 2012 y compara las predicciones de un apocalipsis que transformara el mundo con sus supuestos orgenes en la antigua civilizacin maya. La exhibicin se presentar hasta el 13 de enero de 2013. MAYA 2012 conduce a los visitantes en un viaje a travs del universo maya ordenado por el tiempo, expresado mediante sus intrincados sistemas calendarios y el poder ejercido por sus reyes divinos, los asombrosos seores del tiempo. Los visitantes pueden explorar el mundo maya a travs de una gran variedad de experiencias interactivas y caminar entre esculturas y rplicas a escala real de los principales monumentos mientras descubren la verdad oculta detrs de estas predicciones apocalpticas. La totalmente nueva exhibicin se presenta en sociedad con el Instituto Hondureo de Antropologa e Historia de la Repblica de Honduras. MAYA 2012 presenta ms de 100 objetos excepcionales, entre los que se incluyen piezas recientemente extradas de excavaciones realizadas por arquelogos del Penn Museum en el sitio de Copn, Honduras, y piezas aportadas por el Instituto Hondureo de Antropologa e Historia. MAYA 2012 ofrece a los visitantes una excepcional oportunidad para ver espectaculares ejemplos del arte maya clsico, algunos de los cuales nunca antes fueron exhibidos fuera de Honduras, y para hurgar en los conceptos cambiantes, complejos y extraordinarios del pueblo maya, coment la Dra. Loa Traxler, Curadora de la exhibicin. MAYA 2012: Los Seores del Tiempo deja al descubierto una historia y una cultura mucho ms ricas y sorprendentes de lo que comnmente imaginamos. En qu consiste el fenmeno de 2012? En los ltimos aos, los medios de comunicacin han estado repletos de afirmaciones que aseguran que los antiguos mayas predijeron un acontecimiento catastrfico al final de su calendario. Algunos creen que una alineacin de los planetas producir una serie de desastres naturales devastadores. Otros sostienen que este acontecimiento traer iluminacin y una nueva era de paz. A medida que diciembre de 2012 se acerca, siguen emergiendo nuevas predicciones. Pero qu crean realmente los mayas? Los mayas y su calendario La exhibicin invita al visitante a explorar los sistemas calendarios entrelazados y complejos de los antiguos mayas, que estaban basados en un entendimiento avanzado de la astronoma y del cielo nocturno. Su sistema ms elaborado, la Cuenta larga, abarca trillones de aos y uno de sus ciclos ms importantes llega a su fin el 23 de diciembre de 2012 (algunos acadmicos sostienen que finaliza el 21 de diciembre de 2012). Este es el origen del fenmeno del fin del mundo en 2012 de los mayas. Los aspectos ms destacados de esta seccin incluyen una recreacin inmersiva de una pirmide maya y oportunidades para crear su propio nombre en jeroglficos mayas y calcular su fecha de nacimiento dentro del calendario maya. Copn y los Seores del Tiempo Los antiguos mayas crean que sus reyes eran encarnaciones del tiempo. En el sitio de Copn, Honduras, una dinasta de 16 reyes gobern durante casi cuatro siglos, desde el 426 hasta pasado el ao 800 EC. Descubrimientos de excavaciones recientes, incluidos trabajos de arquelogos del Penn Museum, proporcionan nuevos conocimientos y piezas destacadas para contar la historia de estos seores y su entendimiento y uso nicos del tiempo. Mientras cavaban profundos tneles de-

bajo de las pirmides de Copn, los arquelogos descubrieron la tumba del fundador de la dinasta Copn, Quetzal Guacamaya brillante. La exhibicin expone joyas de jade y sofisticadas vasijas de cermica que acompaaban al rey en su viaje hacia el inframundo. Varias piezas importantes, demasiado pesadas para ser trasladadas fuera de Honduras, se reprodujeron a escala natural utilizando una tecnologa de digitalizacin 3D de ltima generacin. La historia perdida de los mayas La cada de los reyes divinos y el abandono de una gran cantidad de ciudades mayas se conocen como el colapso maya. Esta exhibicin conecta las piezas faltantes de la historia maya, recorriendo su an misteriosa decadencia y llevando a los visitantes hasta nuestros das. Los mayas no desaparecieron. En la actualidad, ms de siete millones de mayas, que hablan una variedad de idiomas mayas, viven en Amrica Central y Mxico, y hay ms mayas que viven alrededor del mundo. Solo se conservan cuatro libros mayas de este perodo. Dos reproducciones, los cdigos de Dresde y de Madrid, juntos con un manuscrito extremadamente singular escrito despus de la Conquista, revelan hasta qu punto se alteraron los conceptos mayas acerca del tiempo. Delicados tejidos etnogrficos y mscaras de arte popular del siglo XX pertenecientes a la coleccin propia del Penn Museum conducen al visitante a conocer a los mayas en el mundo contemporneo. A lo largo de toda la exhibicin, los visitantes pueden conocer a expertos en los antiguos mayas y escuchar sus perspectivas a travs de una serie de entrevistas. En la ltima seccin de la exhibicin, diversas personas mayas hablan por s mismas, comparten sus perspectivas sobre las predicciones del fin del mundo y sobre las inquietudes contemporneas de los mayas. Las entradas de admisin general incluyen la admisin al resto del museo Adultos: $22.50 Adultos mayores (ms de 65 aos)/Militares: $18.50 Estudiantes (de tiempo completo con ID)/Menores (de 6 a 17 aos): $16.50 Las entradas especiales con horario fijo para la exhibicin pueden adquirirse por Internet: www. penn.museum/maya2012, o por telfono: 1.888.695.0888.

ate your own Maya name in hieroglyphs and to calculate your birthdate within the Maya calendar. Copan and the Lords of Time The ancient Maya believed that their kings were embodiments of time. At the site of Copan, Honduras, a dynasty of 16 kings ruled for nearly four centuries, from 426 to after 800 CE. Discoveries from recent excavationsincluding work by Penn Museum archaeologistsprovide new insights and remarkable artifacts to tell the story of these lords and their unique understanding, and use, of time. Tunneling deep under the pyramids of Copan, archaeologists uncovered the tomb of the founder of the Copan dynasty, Radiant First Quetzal Macaw. The exhibition features jade jewelry and sophisticated ceramic vessels that accompanied the king on his journey into the Underworld. The Lost History of the Maya The fall of divine kings and the abandonment of a great number of Maya cities are referred to as the Maya Collapse. This exhibition connects the missing pieces of the Maya story following its still mysterious decline, taking visitors to the present day. The Maya did not disappear. Today, more than seven million Maya, speaking a variety of Mayan languages, live in Central America and Mexico, with more Maya people living around the globe. Many aspects of Maya culture were lost during the Spanish Conquest. Only four Maya books remain from this period. Two reproductions, the Dresden and Madrid Codices, are partnered with an extremely rare manuscript written just after the Conquest, revealing the extent to which Maya concepts of time were altered. Fine ethnographic textiles and 20th century folk art masks from the Penn Museums own collection lead the visitor to meet the Maya in the contemporary world. In the final section of the exhibition, several Maya people speak for themselves, sharing their perspectives on the end of the world predictionsand on the contemporary concerns of the Maya. General admission timed tickets (includes admission to the rest of the Museum) for individuals are available for purchase beginning February 1, 2012. * Adult: $22.50 * Senior (65+)/Military: $18.50 * Students (full-time with ID)/Children (6 to 17 years): $16.50 Museum hours during the MAYA 2012: Lords of Time exhibition are Tuesday, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm; Wednesday, 10:00 am to 8:00 pm; and Thursday through Sunday, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
MAYA 2012 leads visitors on a journey through the Mayas time-ordered universe, expressed through their intricate calendar systems, and the power wielded by their divine kings, the astounding lords of time. Visitors explore the Maya world through a range of interactive experiences and walk among sculptures and full-sized replicas of major monuments while uncovering the truth behind these apocalyptic predictions. The all-new exhibition is presented in partnership with the Instituto Hondureo de Antropologa e Historia of the Republic of Honduras. MAYA 2012 features more than 100 remarkable objects, including artifacts recently excavated by Penn Museum archaeologists at the site of Copan, Honduras, and on loan from the Instituto Hondureo de Antropologa e Historia. Visitors follow the rise and fall of Copan, moving across the centuries to discover how Maya ideas about time and the calendar have changed up to the present day. Contemporary Maya speak to their own heritage and concerns for the future. MAYA 2012 offers visitors a rare opportunity to view spectacular examples of Classic Maya art some of which have never before been seen outside Hondurasand delve into the Maya peoples extraordinary, layered, and shifting concepts about time, noted Exhibition Curator Dr. Loa Traxler. MAYA 2012: Lords of Time uncovers a history and culture far richer and more surprising than commonly supposed. What is the 2012 Phenomenon? In recent years, the media have been filled with claims that the ancient Maya predicted a cataclysmic event at the end of their calendar. Some believe that a celestial alignment will bring a series of devastating natural disasters. Others argue that this event will bring enlightenment and a new age of peace. As December 2012 draws closer, new predictions continue to emerge. But what did the Maya really believe? The Maya and their Calendar The ancient Maya civilization has long fascinated scholars and the public alike. For 2,000 years, the Maya flourished in southern Mexico and parts of Central America, their grand cities featuring temple pyramids, palaces, ball courts, and intricately carved stone monuments bearing royal portraits and a complex hieroglyphic script. They excelled in art, architecture, astronomy, and mathematicsdeveloping a calendar system that amazes and intrigues to this day. The exhibition invites the visitor to explore the ancient Mayas complex, interlocking calendar systems, which were based on an advanced understanding of astronomy and the night sky. Their most elaborate system, the Long Count, encompasses trillions of years, and one of its important cycles comes to a close on December 23, 2012 (some scholars say December 21, 2012). This is the origin of the Maya 2012 end of the world phenomenon. Highlights of this section include an immersive re-creation of a Maya pyramid, and opportunities to cre-

Amor para una Promotora Pionera
Teresa lvarez es una Promotora pionera, promotora de educacin sobre la salud y miembro fundador del cuerpo de voluntarias que se capacitan en Christiana Care para trabajar con otras mujeres en la comunidad latina y promover los exmenes de deteccin de cncer.
Es una causa muy querida para ella, pues su hija, Sharon Gmez, era la coordinadora del Programa de Educacin y Promocin de la Salud en la Comunidad en Christiana Care y fue quien la reclut para que ayudara con la iniciativa de las Promotoras. Una de las cosas que explicamos a las mujeres latinas es la importancia de examinarse los senos mensualmente ellas mismas, dice Teresa, quien naci en Puerto Rico y vive en Wilmington. Teresa sigui su propio consejo de examinarse los senos ella misma y hacerse la mamografa cada ao. El septiembre pasado se descubri un bulto en la clavcula. El diagnstico: linfoma, un tipo de cncer que empieza en las clulas del sistema inmunolgico llamadas linfocitos. A Teresa le dio mucho miedo, pues su madre muri de cncer de seno y uno de sus hermanos de cncer de pulmn. Sin embargo, debido a su capacitacin como Promotora, saba que un diagnstico de cncer no significa la muerte. De inmediato empez a recibir tratamiento en el centro Helen F. Graham Cancer Center en Christiana Care. Hace poco, Teresa, de 71 aos, lleg una tarde a que le aplicaran la sexta y ltima serie de quimioterapia. Sharon, ahora una intrprete de espaol en el Departamento de Emergencias, hizo las veces de intrprete cuando Teresa habl sobre su trabajo con Promotoras. Mi mam les dice a las mujeres que si se cuidan, tendrn una mejor calidad de vida y podrn ver crecer a sus hijos, dice Sharon. Las Promotoras han jugado un papel importante en la misin de Christiana Care de llevar los exmenes de deteccin de enfermedades y la educacin a las comunidades menos favorecidas, dice Nora Katurakes, gerente del Programa de Educacin y Promocin de la Salud en la Comunidad. Con la capacitacin que les brindamos, regresan a su comunidad y elevan el nivel de consciencia sobre lo importante que son los exmenes de deteccin de cncer y la atencin preventiva, dice. Segn la Sociedad Americana de Cncer, el cncer de seno es la principal causa de muerte por cncer para las mujeres hispanas. Segn los Datos sobre el Cncer de la Sociedad Americana de Cncer, las mujeres hispanas tienen 20 por ciento ms probabilidades de morir de cncer de seno que las mujeres blancas no hispanas que reciben el diagnstico a la misma edad, a menudo porque el cncer se diagnostica en una etapa ms avanzada. Con amor y paciencia, sentndolas un par de veces e insistiendo, pude lograr que las mujeres me hicieran caso, dice Teresa. Les digo que si uno puede detectar el cncer en sus etapas tempranas, es muy posible curarlo. En el centro Helen F. Graham Cancer Center le brindan atencin mdica altamente competente y sensible a sus necesidades. Un miembro de enfermera que conoce el sistema le coordina la atencin a la perfeccin, lo que incluye programar los tratamientos, los anlisis y las citas mdicas. Mis mdicos y el personal de enfermera son maravillosos, estn muy bien capacitados y tambin son muy amables y comprensivos, dice. Todo lo que necesito lo encuentro aqu.

Love for Pioneer Promotora

Teresa Alvarez is a pioneer Promotora, a promoter of health education and a founding member of the volunteers trained at Christiana Care to reach out to other women in the Latina community to advocate for cancer screenings.
It is a cause close to her heart. Her daughter, Sharon Gomez, was a Community Health Outreach and Education coordinator at Christiana Care, and recruited her mom to help with the Promotoras initiative. One of the things we talk about to the Latinas is the importance of doing a monthly self breast exam, says Alvarez, a native of Puerto Rico who lives in Wilmington. She followed that advice herself, doing self exams in addition to getting an annual mammogram. Last September, she discovered a lump on her clavicle. The diagnosis: lymphoma, a type of cancer that begins in immune system cells called lymphocytes. Alvarez was frightened. Her mother died from breast cancer. She also lost a brother to lung cancer. But she knew from her Promotoras training that a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. She began treatment immediately at the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center at Christiana Care. On a recent afternoon, Alvarez, 71, arrived for her sixth and final round of chemotherapy. Gomez, now a Spanish interpreter in the Emergency Department, interpreted for her mother as she talked about her work with the Promotoras. My mother tells the women that if they take care of themselves they will have a better quality of life and will see their children grow, Gomez says. The Promotoras have played an important role in Christiana Cares mission of bringing screenings and education to underserved communities, says Nora Katurakes, manager, Community Health Outreach and Education. With the training we give them, they go back to their communities and raise awareness about the importance of cancer screenings and preventive care, she says. Among Hispanic women, breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death, according to the American Cancer Society. Hispanic women are 20 percent more likely to die from breast cancer than non-Hispanic white women diagnosed at the same age, often because the cancer is diagnosed at a later stage, according to ACS Cancer Facts. I was able to get through to the women with love and with patienceand by sitting them down a couple of times and persisting, Alvarez says. I tell them that if you are able to detect cancer early there is a very good chance you can cure it. At Helen F. Graham, she receives highly skilled and compassionate care. Her care is seamlessly coordinated by a nurse navigator, who schedules treatments, tests and doctors appointments. I have wonderful doctors and nurses, very well trained, as well as kind and sympathetic, she says. Everything I need is right here.

Job Fair Targeting Young Adults
Brandywine Counseling and Delaware Tech will Co-Host YouFront & Center Job Fair and Empowerment Seminar
A job fair co-hosted by Brandywine Counseling & Community Services and Delaware Technical and Community College will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on March 14 at the colleges Stanton Campus. The event targets young adults 18-25. The YouFront & Center Job Fair and Empowerment Seminar will feature local employers, informational sessions and a guest speaker. In addition to meeting and networking with Delawares leading organizations and businesses, attendees will have the opportunity to discover skills and talents and set goals. At BCCS we understand the power of prevention, says CEO Lynn Fahey PhD, and by introducing young adults to the concept of selfempowerment and to career opportunities at the same time, they make the connection that good choices lead to positive outcomes. Everyone respects the idea of a dependable job. Along with the opportunity to meet with many local employers who are ready to hire, attendees will be able to identify and understand personal risks that they cannot change, and more importantly, reduce risks that they can change. Young adults will learn to put themselves in a position to succeed in their careers and in their personal lives. Tony DiVirgilio, a 23-year-old fitness trainer from Wilmington, said he knows firsthand how important it is to stay focused, set goals, and avoid risky behavior. Programs like YFC really help young adults like me appreciate that the choices we make have consequences some of them immediate, some of them long term, says Tony. There have been times in my life when I was more interested in having fun than I was in taking care of myself or my future, he said. I wasnt making good decisions and it didnt take very long before that party lifestyle started catching up with me. My grades dropped. I wasnt as sharp mentally as I had been. I got out of shape. I quickly learned that Id have to change things if I wanted to reach the goals that I set for myself. Tony added that if he knew at 18 that he was making high-risk choices, he would have avoided some of that behavior. Whats the point in getting wasted I mean, really? Young adults need to understand that behavior that might seem fairly normal, based on what we see on television or at a frat party, can quickly turn dangerous, particularly if theres a family history of alcohol or drug abuse, he said. I have seen it happen to people I care about and it is painful. Its pretty awesome that organizations like BCCS are encouraging us to think ahead, think about the future, think about preventing bad choices. A mistake you make on a Friday night could change your life forever. For more information on the YouFront & Center Job Fair and Empowerment Seminar, contact BCCS at (302) 656-2348.
Feria de Trabajopara Jvenes Adultos

Brandywine Counseling y Delaware Tech sern coanfitriones de la feria de trabajo y seminario de reforzamiento You-Front & Center (T el Protagonista)
Una feria de trabajo copatrocinada por Brandywine Counseling & Community Services y Delaware Technical and Community College se llevar a cabo entre las 10:00 am y las 2:00 pm el 14 de marzo en el campus Stanton del college. El evento est dirigido a jvenes adultos entre 18 y 25 aos. La feria de trabajo y seminario de reforzamiento You-Front & Center (T el Protagonista) presentar empleadores locales, sesiones informativas y un orador invitado. Adems de conocer y establecer contacto con las organizaciones y negocios lderes de Delaware, los asistentes tendrn la oportunidad de descubrir habilidades y talentos y de establecer metas. En BCCS comprendemos el poder de la prevencin, dice la Directora Ejecutiva Lynn Fahey PhD, y al presentarles a los jvenes adultos el concepto de auto-reforzamiento al mismo tiempo que oportunidades de empleo, logran hacer la conexin de que buenas escogencias conllevan resultados positivos. Todo el mundo aprecia la idea de tener un trabajo con el que se puede contar. Adems de la oportunidad de conocer a muchos empleadores locales que estn listos para emplear personal, los asistentes podrn identificar y comprender riesgos personales que ellos no pueden cambiar, y ms importante aun, reducir riesgos que ellos s pueden cambiar. Los jvenes adultos aprendern a colocarse en una posicin tal que logren el xito en sus carreras y en sus vidas personales. Tony DiVirgilio, un entrenador personal de 23 aos de edad de Wilmington, dijo que saba de primera mano lo importante que es mantenerse enfocado, establecer metas y evitar comportamientos riesgosos. Los programas como el YFC realmente ayudan a los jvenes adultos como yo apreciar que las decisiones que tomamos tienen consecuencias algunas de ellas inmediatas, otras a largo plazo, dice Tony. Ha habido veces en mi vida cuando he estado ms interesado en divertirme que en cuidarme a m mismo y pensar en mi futuro, dijo. No estaba tomando buenas decisiones y no pas mucho tiempo para que ese estilo de vida de fiestas comenzara a afectarme negativamente. Mis calificaciones acadmicas bajaron. No tena la misma agudeza mental que tena antes. Estaba fuera de forma. Rpidamente me di cuenta que deba cambiar algunas cosas si quera alcanzar las metas que me haba trazado para m mismo. Tony aadi que si a los 18 aos hubiera sabido que estaba tomando decisiones de alto riesgo, hubiera evitado algunos de esos comportamientos. Qu sentido tiene echarse a perder por culpa de las drogas? Los jvenes adultos deben comprender que algunos comportamientos que pareceran ser normales, en base a lo que vemos en televisin o en una fiesta de una fraternidad, puede tornarse peligroso rpidamente, particularmente si existe un historial familiar de abuso de alcohol o drogas, dijo. He visto cmo le ha sucedido a personas quienes me importan y es muy doloroso. Es realmente maravilloso que organizaciones como BCCS nos estn animando a pensar ms all, a pensar en el futuro, a pensar en cmo prevenir las malas decisiones. Un error que cometes un viernes por la noche puede cambiar tu vida para siempre.

Cules son sus Metas en la Vida?
Imagnese que va manejando tu carro a toda velocidad en la carretera y de pronto se da cuenta que no recuerda a dnde va. Alguna vez le ha ocurrido? Lo mismo ocurre con nuestra vida a veces. Vivimos rpidamente pero no sabemos cul es nuestro destino. Si desea volver a confirmar sus metas en la vida este artculo es para usted. Tratar de vivir sin metas es como tratar de armar un rompecabezas sin tener la imagen final que est tratando de armar. Sin metas, la vida se convierte en una rutina sin sentido. Hacemos muchas cosas pero no nos sentimos realizados. Con el tiempo, sentimos que nuestra vida se ha estancado y cuando miramos atrs nos viene la sensacin de que hemos dejado pasar los aos sin lograr las cosas que quisiramos lograr. Si usted no tiene claridad acerca del camino para su vida es porque no tiene claro a donde desea llegar. Lo primero que le voy a pedir es que se detenga por un momento. Ese carro que va a toda velocidad sin saber a dnde va debe de estacionarse y apagar el motor. Respire hondo tres veces mientras se dice a s mismo: En este momento, voy a darme unos minutos considerar las metas ms importantes de mi vida; esto me ayudara a m y a mi familia a progresar: 1.- Pregntese: Qu buscara lograr en mi vida si supiera que no voy a fracasar? Mara es una de mis clientes de Life Coaching (superacin personal). Ella descubri que lo que ms deseaba en la vida era poder estar con su familia, en especial sus padres, que ella haba dejado en su pas natal. Como madre soltera, ella sufra mucho al estar distanciada de ellos. Sin embargo, senta miedo de no poder encontrar un trabajo en su pas que le ayude a sacar adelante a sus dos hijos de 2 y 4 aos, y no quera convertirse en una carga para sus padres. Cuando ella contest esta pregunta: Que buscara lograr en su vida si supiera que no va a fracasar? Ella dijo: deseara poder encontrar una forma segura de ganar dinero en mi propio pas as puedo regresar con mis hijos y sacarlos adelante rodeados de su familia. A partir de ese momento, para Mara, su trabajo en este pas ya no era solo una rutina diaria, sino la manera de ahorrar dinero para poner un pequeo restaurante en su pueblo. Mara cumpli su meta, regres a su pas e inici un negocio de comida. Ella dice: Si yo no me hubiera detenido a pensar y escribir mis metas, hoy seguira triste en Estados Unidos, lejos de mi familia y haciendo lo mismo. Usted tambin puede hacer lo que Mara hizo y cumplir sus sueos: a. Agarre un pedazo de papel y escriba lo que ms quiere en la vida. b. Luego pregntese cmo las cosas que est haciendo actualmente en su vida pueden ayudarlo a llegar a esa meta. c. Si descubre que no est haciendo mucho para llegar a su meta es hora de un cambio en su vida. Siga leyendo. 2. Pregntese: Qu mas podra lograr en mi vida si me lo propusiera? Paulo lleg a nuestro retiro de superacin personal solo por curiosidad. El deca que no tena problemas. Pronto descubri que aunque l haba logrado muchas cosas en la vida, la verdad era que no disfrutaba de ellas. En su interior, Paulo se senta vacio y haba cado en malos vicios como el ver pornografa en la Internet. En el retiro, Paulo pudo darse cuenta que l trabajaba mucho para poder proveer a su familia, pero se haba olvidado de s mismo. Cuando el pudo cuestionarse acerca de lo que podra lograr si se lo propusiera, Paulo record que siempre haba tenido sueos que haba postergado indefinidamente. Todo cambio cuando el pudo escribir tres metas para s mismo y se dio el tiempo para cumplirlas. Pablo aprendi a tocar guitarra y ahora toca en su iglesia; tambin pudo viajar con su familia a Poconos y aprender a esquiar; y, por ltimo, cumpli su sueo de tener su propio negocio de ventas. Espero que este artculo le haya motivado a parar y escribir sus metas en la vida. Si desea, puede participar del Retiro de Superacin Personal ROMPIENDO TUS BARRERAS que es totalmente en espaol.

Psychology with Faith
Stop.
What Are Your Goals in Life?
Imagine youre driving your car at full speed on the highway and suddenly you realize you dont remember where you are going. Has this ever happened to you? The same applies to our life sometimes. We live fast but do not know what our destination is. If you want to consider the goals for your life this article is for you. Trying to live without goals is like trying to assemble a puzzle without having the final image that you are trying to put together. Without goals, life becomes a meaningless routine. We do many things but we are not fulfilled. Over time, you feel your life has stalled and when you look back you have the feeling that you have wasted years without achieving your goals. If you are not clear about where your life is heading towards is probably because you dont know your goals in life yet. The first thing I will ask you is to stop for a moment. The car that is going at full speed without knowing where it is headed has to stop and turn off the engine. Breathe deeply three times while saying to yourself: Right now, I will spend a few minutes reading this article and considering the most important goals in my life; this will help me and my family progress: A. - Ask yourself: What would I seek to achieve in my life if I knew that I would not fail? Mary is one of my clients of Life Coaching (personal growth). She discovered that what she most wanted in life was to be with her family, especially her parents, who she had left in her home country. As a single mother, it was really painful for her to be away from them. However, she was afraid of not finding a job in her country that will help her raise her two children, ages 2 and 4, and end up becoming a burden to her parents. When she answered this question: What would I seek to achieve in my life if I knew I would not fail? She said: I wish I could find a way to make money in my own country so I could return with my children and see them grow surrounded by their family. From that moment on, to Mary, her work in this country was not a daily routine anymore, now it was her way to save money to start a small restaurant in her home town. Mary achieved her goal, returned home and started a food business. She says: If I had not stopped to think and write my goals, I would now be sad in the U.S., away from my family and doing the same thing. You too can do what Mary did and achieve your dreams: a. Grab a piece of paper and write the goals you want most in life. b. Then ask yourself how the things you are doing presently in your life can help you reach those goals. c. If you find that you are not doing much to achieve your goals, it means its time for a change. Read on. 2. Ask yourself: What else could I achieve in my life if I seriously put my mind to it? Paulo came to our personal growth retreat just out of curiosity. He thought his life was fine. He soon discovered that although he had accomplished many things, the truth was that he didnt enjoy them. Inside, Paul felt empty and had fallen into bad habits such as viewing Internet pornography. When he attended the retreat, Paul realized he was working hard to provide for his family, but he had forgotten about himself. When he questioned himself about what else he could achieve in life, he became aware of many things he had always wanted to do but he had put off indefinitely. Everything changed when he could write three goals for himself and took the time to do what was needed to achieve them. Paul learned to play guitar and now plays in his church; he was also able to travel with his family to the Poconos and learn to ski. He fulfilled his dream of owning his own sales business, as well. I hope this article helped motivate you to stop and start writing down your goals in life. If you need help, you can participate in my Personal Development Retreat ROMPIENDO TUS BARRERAS.

Delawares Needle Exchange Program

Nationally Recognized Needle Exchange Program Commemorates Fifth Year
February marked the fifth anniversary of Delawares needle exchange program in the City of Wilmington, managed by the Division of Public Health (DPH), in partnership with Brandywine Counseling and Community Services. The program, recognized nationally as a model for its coordination with law enforcement, has also surpassed the guidelines for cost effective HIV testing programs from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This program is an excellent example of putting prevention practices to work, said Rita Landgraf, Secretary of Delaware Health and Social Services. Needle exchange is an important method of breaking the cycle of HIV transmission. Public Health is so pleased to have partnered with Basha Silverman and the team at Brandywine Counseling and Community Services these past five years to combat HIV transmission in the at-risk community, said Dr. Karyl Rattay, DPH director. I am so grateful for their commitment and support of the program. Its success is closely tied to the strong community partnerships both with the substance treatment community and law enforcement. The goal of the program is both to reduce HIV transmission and provide a link for drug users to addiction programs. Delawares needle exchange program is the only one in the nation that is operated by a substance abuse treatment agency, providing a seamless transition into treatment for individuals to get clean. The program also provides pregnancy screening for those suffering addiction, providing rapid access to prenatal and HIV treatment to help prevent transmission from mother to baby. This program is about saving lives by keeping discarded needles off the streets, offering HIV testing and education, and linking addicts to substance abuse treatment, said state Sen. Margaret Rose Henry. The success of the program is so encouraging and we are looking forward to another good five years. While we do not condone drug use, preventing and halting the spread of diseases such as HIV is a critical goal for all of us, said state Rep. Helene M. Keeley. This program has done more than exchange needles. This is an important public health program that has resulted in hundreds enrolling in substance abuse treatment and getting tested for HIV. I hope we reach a day when theres no longer a need for such a program, but Im proud of what we have accomplished through it. Senator Henry and Representative Keeley sponsored the legislation that created the program currently offered in the City of Wilmington. As of the end of 2011, the program: Served 1,251 needle exchange clients, with 228 entering substance abuse treatment on target to reach the programs goal of 20 percent in treatment. Incinerated more than 108,000 potentially infectious syringes. Provided HIV testing to 762 needle exchange clients and 2,472 community residents, connecting seven people with newly identified HIV infection into treatment. The program also provides Wilmington police with needleresistant gloves, collects confiscated syringes for disposal, and provides information at police training sessions. Several clients were referred to the program by police officers.
This St. Patricks Day, we remind everyone to make plans to find a safe way home if you plan to drink alcoholic beverages, said Jana Simpler, Director of the Office of Highway Safety. Dont risk a DUI arrest or getting involved in a crash- designate a driver before you leave home. In 2011, 36% (37 of 103) of all vehicle deaths in Delaware were alcohol related. Since January 1st of this year, there have been 2 alcohol-related traffic deaths compared to 3 at this time last year.
