BienvenidosA Note From The Publisher

MAY 2012 3

n hombre sabio, pero lo más probable como una mujer, dijo una vez que la única manera de ser feliz es amar. Y, quizás, pocas palabras más verdaderas nunca se han hablado. Otro hombre o una mujer sabiamente dijo una vez: “El amor es la cosa más importante en el mundo, pero el béisbol es bastante bueno, también.”

Béisbol, dicen algunos, es el deporte de los Estados Unidos. Y, en muchos sentidos, el algunos - que tan a menudo parecen decir las cosas - son correctas, ya que es el deporte de los Estados Unidos, pero también es de México, Puerto Rico, la República Dominicana, Cuba, Colombia,Venezuela, Nicaragua y el deporte de Panamá - por no hablar de su popularidad en Japón y Corea del Sur. Claro, el béisbol es el pasatiempo nacional de los Estados Unidos, pero también es reverenciado al sur de la frontera tanto como aquí en los Estados Unidos.

Para celebrar el deporte que trasciende las fronteras, la nacionalidad, la cultura y la política, los lectores encontrarán una sección especial con la contribución que la comunidad latina ha tenido en el béisbol, con un enfoque especial en nuestros Senadores de Harrisburg, ciudad natal.

Además, asegúrese de revisar el articulo escrito por Jen Merrill sobre el pelotero de Harrisburg Senators receptor y el Venezolano nativo de Sandy Leon en la página 16. Además de destacar el gran deporte de la pelota y el bate, este asunto arroja luz sobre comida latina al descubrir los platos de la firma de varios restaurantes de la zona (página 12). Los lectores también encontrarán las columnas habituales en las páginas de la edición de este mes.

Realmente hay algo para todos en este volumen, así que lea todo lo que se acerca en esta entrega de Mayo 2012 La Voz Latina Central.

wise man, but most likely a woman, once said that the only way to be happy is to love. And, perhaps, few truer words have ever been spoken. Another sagely man or woman once said, “Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good, too.”

Baseball, some say, is America’s sport. And, in many ways, the some – who so often seem to say things – are correct in that it is America’s sport, but it is also Mexico’s, Puerto Rico’s, the Dominican Republic’s, Cuba’s, Colombia’s, Venezuela’s, Nicaragua’s and Panama’s sport – not to mention its popularity in Japan and South Korea. Sure, baseball is America’s national pastime, but it’s also revered south of the border much like it is here in the States.

To celebrate the sport that transcends borders, nationality, culture and politics, readers will find a special section featuring the contribution that the Latino community has had on baseball, with a special focus on our hometown Harrisburg Senators. Also, be sure to check out contributing writer Jen Merrill’s piece on Harrisburg Senators’ catcher and Venezuelan native Sandy Leon on page 16.

In addition to highlighting the great sport of ball and bat, this issue shines a light on Latin food by discovering the signature dishes of several area restaurants (page 12). Readers will also find the usual columns in the pages of this month’s issue.

There’s truly a little something for everyone in this volume, so read all about it in this May 2012 installment of La Voz Latina Central.

e have all heard stories about medical mistakes: wrong-site surgery, health care-acquired infections and re-admissions to the hospital. Some of these events are relatively rare, but medical mistakes still happen. Doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other health professionals dedicate their lives to caring for their patients, but

providing health care can be complicated. Often times, you, the patient, may think that there is nothing you can do to protect yourself. Did

you know that you are the most important part of the care team? The following tips can help keep you safe as a patient:

W

Be safe…with your medications• When receiving new medications, make sure you know what they are treating.

• Learn what to expect from the medication and if there are any possible side effects.

• Know and write down the names of your medications. Document everything

about taking the medication:

o How many times a day it should be taken.

o How much to take at one time.

o How long you will be taking it.

o What you should take with it (water, juice, before or after a meal).

• Store the medication as directed.

• Be sure to ask your doctor if you don’t understand.

• Call your doctor immediately if you experience any complications from your

medication.

Be safe…at the pharmacy• When filling a new prescription, tell your pharmacist what other medications

and over-the-counter drugs you take (including vitamins and herbal remedies) so

he/she can help you avoid any potential drug interactions.

• Make sure your pharmacist has your current allergies on file.

• Find out how many refills you get to ensure your physician provided enough to

last until your next visit.

• When picking up your prescription, confirm the medication is correct and the

instructions on the label match what your physician provided to you. Do all of this

before you leave the pharmacy.

Be safe…and know your condition• Understand what your main medical condition is and make sure your family

does, too.

• Ask your doctor for additional information.

• Learn how your condition will impact you: what you eat, drink, your sleep or

other aspects of everyday living.

Be safe…and avoid hospital re-admissions• Know what you need to do once you leave the hospital.

• Ask questions throughout your stay at the hospital, or plan to have a close

family member or friend ask questions on your behalf.

• Repeat the instructions in your own words.

• Before being discharged, arrange for a follow-up care plan, including any

home-care and follow-up appointments.

Be safe…and always follow up with care after a hospital stay• Schedule and go to all follow-up appointments.

• Keep a medical journal, which should include your medications. Take your

journal with you to all appointments.

• Make sure your primary-care physician knows that you were admitted to the

hospital.

• Ask your doctors if they received your test results and hospital reports.

• Ask questions and understand what you need to do next.

With any health care experience, it’s most important that you, the patient, understand how you and your health will be impacted by medical treatments or surgery. Some health care experiences can be challenging, but you can learn to manage your health care and help ensure your own safety.

Steps

You Can Take to Ensure Safe Medical Care

emos escuchado historias sobre errores médicos: cirugías en lugares incorrectos, infecciones adquiridas por la atención médica y reingresos al hospital. Algunos de estos sucesos son bastante raros, pero los errores médicos aún existen. Los médicos, enfermeras, farmacéuticos y otros profesionales de la salud dedican sus vidas al cuidado

de sus pacientes; sin embargo, brindar una atención médica puede ser complicado. A menudo, usted, el paciente, posiblemente piense que no puede hacer nada para protegerse a

sí mismo. ¿Usted sabe que es la parte más importante del equipo médico? Los siguientes consejos pueden ayudarlo para que esté seguro como paciente:

HEsté seguro…con sus medicamentos

• Cuando reciba medicación nueva, asegúrese de saber para qué sirve esa

medicación.

• Sepa qué esperar del medicamento y si hay posibles efectos secundarios.

toma del medicamento:

o Cuántas veces al día debe tomarlo.

o Cuánto tomar de una vez.

o Cuánto tiempo lo estará tomando.

o Qué debe tomar con éste (agua, jugo, con o antes o después de una comida).

• Guarde el medicamento según lo indicado.

• Asegúrese de preguntar a su médico si no entiende.

• Llame a su medico de inmediato si tiene alguna complicación por el

Esté seguro…en la farmacia• Cuando llene una nueva receta, infórmele al farmacéutico qué otros

medicamentos de venta libre toma (incluyendo vitaminas y remedios herbales)

para que ella/él pueda ayudarlo a evitar cualquier interacción entre fármacos.

• Asegúrese de que su farmacéutico tiene registrada sus alergias habituales.

• Sepa cuántas veces puede obtener el medicamento a fin de asegurarse de

que su médico le dio lo suficiente hasta la próxima consulta.

• Cuando retire su receta, confirme si el medicamento es correcto y si las

indicaciones de la etiqueta coinciden con las que le dio su médico. Haga todo

esto antes de retirarse de la farmacia.

Esté seguro…y sepa su afección• Sepa en detalle cuál es su principal afección médica y asegúrese de que su

familia también lo sepa.

• Pídale a su medico información adicional.

• Sepa cómo le afectará su afección: en lo qué come, bebe, en el sueño u otros

aspectos de la vida diaria.

Esté seguro…y evite reingresos al hospital• Sepa qué debe hacer cuando abandone el hospital.

• Haga preguntas en toda su estadía en el hospital o tenga a un familiar cercano

destinado para hacer preguntas en su nombre.

Seguridad del paciente:Por Rhonda Moore Johnson, M.D., M.P.H., directora clínica, Highmark Inc.


&l deseo de experimentar la felicidad es una decisión mental que proviene de nuestra actitud para ver, oír, sentir y degustar la belleza de la vida. Es en la sabia

selección de nuestras intenciones donde el verdadero espíritu de la felicidad nos permite gozar de los placeres de la vida, tanto de los grandes milagros que ocurren a cada instante así como de las cosas sencillas y bellas que suceden cada segundo en nuestros propios vecindarios y alrededor del mundo. Cuando el espíritu de la felicidad fluye, esta produce una exitosa inspiración

en la fijación de nuestros ideales, una actitud positiva para resolver nuestras dificultades y la posibilidad de vivir una vida llena de satisfacciones y libre de estrés.

Una de las formas para encontrar esta formula es la de usar el poder de la imaginación y muchos de los modelos mentales proactivos que hacen posible lograr nuestro mas anhelado futuro. Los modelos mentales pueden ayudarle a hacer que los sueños abstractos se conviertan en realidades tangibles una vez que usted entienda y acepte que nosotros tenemos el poder de escoger y elegir. Los modelos

mentales son formas alternativas para simplificar y conceptualizar las ideas de tal manera que todo lo que usted conciba y sueñe se vea como posible y alcanzable. Todo esta en el poder de su imaginación. Un modelo mental es un concepto que se inicia utilizando nuestra racionalidad y luego es traducido en el plano emocional de tal manera que este se lo visualice como concreto y realizable.

Lo que se necesita es una intención firme para que la imaginación inicial se transforme en una realización práctica. Todo es una decisión de actitud. Como el Buda lo dijo,

“Lo que somos es el resultado de lo que pensamos. La mente lo es todo. Lo que somos es el resultado de nuestros pensamientos. Nuestra transformación [para bien o para mal] proviene de lo que pensamos.” La imaginación nos da la habilidad de visualizar el futuro con el objeto de explorar nuestras ideas hasta que ellas se conviertan en realidades. La imaginación ayuda a tonificar el intelecto y relievar tanto la parte emocional como la contraparte espiritual. Como lo dice Wally Amos, “La imaginación es el poder de la mente para formar imagines mentales de algo que no necesariamente

La intención, la Imaginación y la Inspiración: Tres Palabras que nos Ayudan a Experimentar la Felicidad Progresiva que nos Ofrece la Vida.

Intention, Imagination InspirationBy Dr. Hector Richard Ortiz

he willingness to experience joy is a mental commitment that comes from our attitude to see, hear, perceive, feel and digest the beauty of life. It is in the wise

selection of our intention where the real spirit of joy allows us to get pleasure from both the greatest miracles of the world and the simplest things that take place every second in our own backyard and all around the world. When the spirit of joy flows, it produces a more successful goal-setting approach, a less stressful problem-solving outlook and more fulfilling life setting.

One of the ways to find it is by using the power of imagination and many of the proactive mental models that make reachable our finest desired future. Mental models can help you make abstract dreams become reality once you accept and understand your power of choice. Mental models are alternative ways to simplify and conceptualize ideas so that anything you think and dream is possible. It is all in the power of your imagination. A mental model is a concept you pick from your intellect and place inside the mind’s emotional site so it appears concrete and feasible.

What we need is a firm intention so the initial imagination can be transformed into a

concrete and realistic realization. Everything starts with a proactive attitude. As Buddha wrote, “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become.” Imagination gives us an ability to visualize the future by moving ideas until they become reachable realities. It is also a powerful demonstration of the intellect, which invigorates our emotional strengths and its spiritual counterparts. As Wally Amos states, “Imagination is the power of the mind to form a mental image of something neither real nor present … whatever you materialize in your life must first be pictured in your mind by your imagination.”

The power of imagination helps us form mental pictures so we can visualize a positive future. While it takes time to develop this tactic, it is one of the easiest ways to tap into the power of realization. When you see something in the mental model structure, it turns into your truth. Imagination crystallizes the things that others cannot see, but it also gives us the ability to enjoy those things before they become realities.

The power of visualization usually brings ideas into a mental picture and/or in the way of a spiritual revelation. Norman Vincent Peale said that visualization means,

“Holding the image of yourself succeeding, visualizing it so vividly that when the desired success comes, it seems to be merely echoing a reality that has already existed in your mind” (Peale 1982, 29). Then, why waste our limited time with worries, anxieties and fears on your way to success? They drain our time, but also attract pessimism and negative thoughts. As such, in the future, redirect you intention, follow your imagination and inspiration may just come by default.

Of course, you need knowledge and to be informed, you need a plan and strategies, but all of them come from imagination and the unavoidable spread of inspiration. Consequently, think always that anything is possible and reachable at the same time that you open your mind to become sensitive and flexible. Accept that nothing is absolute, but relative. Remember that any extreme viewpoint may become contentious because there is no absolute truth. Consequently, we should be cautious when we weigh our values and try to live a balanced life, which is interpreted as the harmony needed to avoid extremes and balance all sides.

Our values play a very important role in selecting our intention. Values so often manifest themselves in behavior, beliefs and

judgment. They influence our actions and our interpretations of principles, such as honesty, integrity, discipline and moral and ethical standards. They also represent our beliefs about people and of the purpose of life, including concepts of freedom, equality, religion, spirituality, fraternity and solidarity. Consequently, in order to align our intention and our imagination, our values are key factors in getting inspiration because they influence the way we judge, act, create and develop our actions.

Proactive thinking takes place when people assume total responsibility for their acts by prioritizing values and following principles. Rationality precedes feelings, beliefs surpass dogmas and change overcomes paradigms. The right to act in a responsible way is a moral and ethical commitment that all human beings must pursue. If we have identified our gifts and recognized our assets, then we should change our attitude and move from the side of the simple observer to that of the active doer. If we decide to be actors of life instead mere observers, then we can clarify our intentions, imagine and visualize our desired future and just enjoy the beauty of life and become inspired by the greatness of its priceless gorgeousness.

puede ser real o presente… Cualquier cosa que usted materializa en su vida debería ser primero concebida en la mente, utilizando el poder de la imaginación.”

El poder de la imaginación nos ayuda a formar las fotografías mentales, las que contribuyen a la visualización de un futuro exitoso. Entiendo que toma tiempo el desarrollar esta táctica, sin embargo, esta es una de las formas mas fáciles para llegar al poder de la realización. Cuando usted ve algo desde el punto de vista de un modelo mental, este se convierte en su verdad. La imaginación le hace ver con claridad las cosas que otros no las pueden ni siquiera ver y al mismo tiempo nos provee la habilidad de disfrutar por adelantado los acontecimientos, incluso antes de que estos se conviertan en realidad.

El poder de la visualización usualmente viene en la forma de una figura emocional o de una revelación espiritual. Norman Vincent Peale dice que la visualización

significa, “El mantener la imagen de uno mismo logrando el éxito, visualizándolo y viviéndolo de tal manera que cuando lo deseado se hace realidad, este parece que solo es un eco de lo que ya existe en su interior (Peale 1982, 29.

¿Porque entonces preocuparnos tanto y sufrir de ansiedad cuando estamos en la vía del éxito? Lo que estamos haciendo es consumiendo vanamente nuestro tiempo y atrayendo el pesimismo y los pensamientos negativos. Por lo tanto, cuide lo que piensa, redirija sus intenciones y siga su imaginación y verá que la inspiración vendrá automáticamente a su llamado.

Por supuesto, usted necesita el conocimiento, la información, un plan y estrategias, pero todas ellas vienen con la imaginación y la inevitable ventaja que nos provee la inspiración. Por eso, piense siempre como que todo es posible y alcanzable al mismo tiempo que su mente se mantiene flexible y sensible a los demás,

Acepte que nada es absoluto y que todo es relativo. Recuerde que cualquier punto de vista extremo puede ser contrapuesto ya que no existe la verdad absoluta. De tal manera que debemos ser cautos cuando pesemos nuestros valores y vivamos una vida de moderación, cuyo balance representa la armonía necesaria para evitar los extremos y mantener el equilibrio que nos exige la vida.

Nuestros valores juegan un papel muy importante en el escogimiento de nuestras intenciones. Los valores usualmente se manifiestan en nuestros juicios, conductas y creencias. Ellos influyen nuestras acciones y la interpretación de principios como la honestidad, integridad, disciplina, la ética y la moral. Nuestros valores también representan nuestras creencias acerca de los demás así como los conceptos de moral, igualdad, religión, espiritualidad, fraternidad y solidaridad. Consecuentemente, para alinear nuestras intenciones con nuestra imaginación, nuestros valores son elementos

esenciales para conseguir la inspiración ya que ellos influyen en el desarrollo de nuestros juicios y acciones.

El pensamiento positivo toma lugar cuando la gente asume la responsabilidad por sus actos y prioriza sus valores y principios. La racionalidad precede a los sentimientos, las creencias sobrepasan los dogmas y la predisposición al cambio vence los paradigmas. El derecho a actuar de una manera responsable es un compromiso ético y moral que todos deberíamos perseguir. Si nosotros hemos identificado nuestros talentos y privilegios, entonces deberíamos cambiar nuestra actitud y dejar de ser simples observadores y convertirnos en verdaderos actores de la vida. Si decidimos ser protagonistas de nuestras vidas, entonces deberíamos clarificar nuestras intenciones, imaginar y visualizar nuestro futuro mas deseado para disfrutar de las bellezas de la vida y dejarnos inspirar por su magnificencia e incalculable grandeza.


E n el pasado, he escrito artículos para La Voz Latina Central sobre la ley. Me han dado consejos sobre cómo protegerse en situaciones donde el conocimiento de la

ley de Pennsylvania estaría en su mejor interés. El artículo de hoy tiene por objeto al informarle a usted, el público en general sobre los nuevos cambios en las leyes de Pennsylvania credencial de elector. El derecho a votar y que su voz sea escuchada es la pieza central de la democracia. Permite al público a cambiar nuestros funcionarios electos y tiene un efecto directo en cómo nuestro condado, el estado y los municipios se ejecutan. Este derecho es tan importante como nuestro derecho a la libertad de expresión y nuestro derecho a la libertad la vida y la búsqueda de la felicidad. Sin embargo, durante el mes pasado, las nuevas leyes se han promulgado en Pennsylvania que han cambiado las reglas que permiten a un ciudadano a votar. Las leyes de Votantes de Pennsylvania de identificación, que fueron promulgadas con la intención de evitar el fraude electoral, pueden tener un efecto negativo en su derecho al voto y puede prevenir el acceso a la cabina de votación. Quiero llevar esta nueva ley para su atención de modo que usted puede asegurarse de que vengan preparados a las urnas en las primarias y las elecciones generales.

Estoy seguro de que no puede haber sabido acerca de la modificación de la ley. Estoy seguro de que pensó que usted podría presentarse en la cabina de votación y depositar su voto tal y como lo han hecho año tras año sin la necesidad de mostrar una identificación. Bueno, la ley ha cambiado y si usted no viene preparado, no puede ser permitido a votar. Esta nueva ley, que tiene por objeto evitar el fraude electoral puede tener la consecuencia involuntaria de suprimir el voto de los estudiantes universitarios, jubilados y residentes transitorios que no tienen una

residencia permanente. Es su responsabilidad de ser un ciudadano informado. Les pido su colaboración para difundir la palabra y utilizar la voz para asegurarse de que usted y todos los que conoces se asegura de que usted está dispuesto a emitir su voto en las elecciones. Si nosotros, como comunidad trabajan juntos, podemos evitar que cualquier persona que tenga su voto suprimida. Si usted tiene alguna pregunta sobre este artículo o los nuevos cambios en la ley, por favor no dude en ponerse en contacto conmigo en [email protected].

Para cualquiera de estos ID, la persona tiene que parecerse a la persona en la foto y el nombre en la identificación tiene que "sustancialmente conforme" con el nombre en el registro electoral. Ambos pueden ser problemas para algunas personas.

Para poder votar conforme a la ley electoral nueva identificación, deberá presentar una de las siguientes formas de identificación:

• unacorrientedeconducirdePensylvaniadelalicencia,ounaqueexpiródespuésdeNoviembrede2011 • UnaidentificaciónconfotoactualdePennsylvaniatarjetaemitidaporelDepartamentodeTransportedePenn, ounaqueexpiródespuésdeNoviembrede2011 • PasaportedelosEE.UU.unacorriente • UnmilitardeEE.UU.odelaGuardiaNacionaldePennsylvaniadeidentificaciónconfoto (nota:sedebeincluir"unadesignaciónquelafechadecaducidadesdecarácterindefinido") • UnaEE.UU.,identificaciónoficialconfoto,porejemplo,elempleadodelaagencia,lasfuerzasarmadas,etc. • unempleadoactualdeidentificaciónconfotoemitidaporuncondadodePennsylvania,ciudad,pueblo, municipioodistrito • unaidentificaciónactualconfotodeestudianteemitidaporuncolegioouniversidaddePennsylvania (tengaencuentaqueIDúnicaquecontieneunafechadecaducidadsepuedeutilizar,porejemplo,laUniversidad delosidentificadoresdePittsburghsonaceptados,peroPennSate,LaSalleydeDrexelnoloson.) • Unaidentificaciónconfotoemitidaporunalicenciadeenfermería,cuidadopersonalolasinstalacionesdevida asistida(tengaencuentaquelaúnicaidentificaciónquecontieneunafechadecaducidadsepuedeutilizar)

The Right to Vote: New Pennsylvania Voter ID Laws:n the past, I have written articles for La Voz on the law. I have given advice on how to protect yourself in situations where knowledge of Pennsylvania law would be in your best interest. This article is meant to inform you, the general public, on the new changes in Pennsylvania’s Voter ID laws. The right to vote and to have your voice heard is the centerpiece of democracy. It allows the public to change our elected officials, and it has a direct effect on how our county, state and municipalities are run. This right is just as

important as our right to free speech and our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. However, over the past month, new laws have been enacted in Pennsylvania that have changed the rules, which allow a citizen to vote. The Pennsylvania Voter ID laws, which were enacted with the intention to prevent voter fraud, may have a chilling effect on your right to vote and may prevent you access to the voting booth. I bring this new law to your attention so that you can make sure to come prepared to the voting booth in the primary and the general election.

El Sol Mexican RestaurantEl Sol has become a staple of downtown Harrisburg dining. “I think we add a different

feel of sophistication,” says Lisa Garcia, who owns the restaurant with her husband, Juan. “Just about everything we serve is made from scratch and from fresh, quality ingredients.”

No one can resist El Sol’s savory molcajetes. Served in a lava-rock mortar and pestle known as a “molcajete” (imagine that!), this dish can be ordered one of two ways: the Molcajete Mixto includes steak, chicken and shrimp, and the Molcajete de Mariscos contains tilapia, shrimp and scallops. Both dishes are covered in mushrooms, homemade salsa ranchera and melted cheese that stays gooey because of its presentation in the hot molcajete dish.

“Juan centered our menu at El Sol mostly from traditional dishes or variations of them from the Jalisco region of Mexico, where he and his family are from,” explains Garcia. “Of course, we added other well-known items to our menu that aren’t as widely consumed in Jalisco in order to provide our customers a wide variety.”

Besides that, El Sol has an extensive bar and also offers some hard-to-find traditional Mexican drinks such as homemade aguas frescas, limonada, agua de jamaica and horchata.

Reservations can be made on their website or by phone and are highly suggested, especially on the weekends.

Herby’s El Mexicano“When I started doing this, my food was meant to teach the area what real Mexican

food was all about,” says Maria Marroquin, owner of Herby’s El Mexicano in Steelton.

“I was really the first authentic Mexican restaurant in the area.” Marroquin’s passion translates heavily into a vast menu of traditional homemade

favorites. The most popular dish is their savory pork carnitas served with a sprinkle of cilantro, chopped onions and a flavorful medium-heat sauce. What’s the secret to making it irresistible? Herby’s slow-cooks the pork for seven hours, making it crispy and tender while limiting the amount of grease that makes its way on to your plate.

“Food is very important to my culture, and we use a lot of homemade family recipes that have been passed down through generations,” says Marroquin.

Herby’s accepts reservations on the weekends and for special occasions and also provides a take-out service.

Luna Mexican Bar & Grill“We’ve definitely added something to the Hershey food scene,” says Tim Demopoulos, a

manager at Luna Mexican Bar and Grill on West Chocolate Avenue in Hershey. “Hershey has a lot of Italian restaurants. There are a lot of American restaurants. We’ve gotten some sushi spots. But we’re a different kind of cuisine for the area.”

The one-year-old establishment proudly shares authentic Mexican food with the area, especially their filet medallions entree. Demopoulos says that you can’t go wrong with the tender beef sautéed with roasted red and poblano peppers and portobello mushrooms , served with refried beans and rice. The tangy tequila, lime, garlic reduction adds a special kick to the dish.

“With Mexican food, there’s often an emphasis on the ingredients and the preparation,” says Demopoulos. “However, sometimes there’s such beauty in the simplicity. Something we

Latin food is much more than hot sauce and salsa. It ranges much further than tacos and burritos. While staples

like these will always stay popular, four local eateries prove that authentic, gourmet Latin food is not tough to come by.

El Sol Mexican Restaurant, Herby’s El Mexicano, Luna Mexican Bar and Grill and Arepa City make the central Pennsylvania ethnic food scene a difficult one to compete

with. Next time you’re craving some spice, make sure to check out these signature dishes at these fabulous locations.

do is serve all of our sauces on the side. That way, you can customize the dish the way you want it.”

Luna accepts reservations and offers take-out, delivery and catering services upon request.

Arepa CityIt’s all about the arepa at this downtown

Harrisburg Venezuelan eatery. Arepas are sandwiches made on a homemade

corn bun and stuffed with a wide variety of savory toppings. Ranging from the jardinera (grilled fresh vegetables and spicy cabbage) to the caripito (sweet plantains and grilled queso fresco) to the pelua (shredded flank steak and cheddar cheese) and many more, this menu offers choices sure to please everyone. Kids often enjoy the diliciosa, which is stuffed with scrambled eggs, ham and cheddar cheese.

The establishment, owned by chef Daniel Farias, opened in 2009. Since then, the Venezuelan influence offers a new taste to the central Pennsylvania palate. If you’re out late at night on a Friday or a Saturday, make sure to stop by before 3 a.m. to get your arepa or spicy shish-kabob fix.

Chicken Taco SaladI use this for pot-lucks, family picnics, winter football playoff parties or just dinner for my family – two teens (plus friends), mom and dad. Even my 6-year-old nephew likes it.

Only a fork is needed to eat. Can be used as a full meal or in a buffet line, and you can sneak in vegetables.

Large head of romaine lettuce1 red onion1 green bell pepper1 pint cherry tomatoes or 3 vine-ripened1 can pitted black olives or sliced black olives4 boneless chicken breasts (alternately, 1.5 of ground chuck can be substituted)1 16-ounce bag of Mexican blend shredded cheese1 regular-sized bottle of Catalina dressing1 large bag original-flavored Doritoes (Cool Ranch works, too)1 package dry taco seasoning mix

Coat chicken breasts with taco seasoning. Sauté or bake. Cool. Shred or chop into bite-sized pieces. Let cool.Chop vegetables, toss in large bowl. Add chicken pieces and cheese to vegetables. Mix together. Refrigerate until ready to serve.“Crunch up” Doritoes in original bag until the chips are in smaller pieces – not too small though. About 5 minutes before serving, add crunched-up Doritoes and Catalina dressing and blend all ingredients in bowl. Serve cold.I like this recipe because there is no mayonnaise or other highly perishable ingredient. Great for pot-luck where food sits out. If you have leftovers, the Doritoes will get a little soggy in the refrigerator, but my crew will still eat “reruns” a day later.Add a Corona, margarita, guacamole and blue corn chips!~Recipe courtesy of Laura Passuello.

The Right to Vote: New Pennsylvania Voter ID Law By Mark J. Kogan Esq.

continued from page 10

I am sure you may not have known about the change in the law. I am sure you thought that you could just show up at the voting booth and place your vote just as you have done year after year without the need to show identification. Well, the law has changed, and if you do not come prepared, you may not be allowed to vote. This new law, which is meant to prevent voter fraud, may have the unintended consequence of suppressing the vote of college students, senior citizens and transient residents who do not have a permanent residence. It is your responsibility to be an informed citizen. I am asking for your cooperation to spread the word and to use your voice to make sure that you and everyone you know makes sure that you are prepared to cast your vote at election time. If we, as a community, work together, we can prevent anyone from having their vote suppressed. If you have any questions about this article or the new changes in the law, please don't hesitate to contact me at [email protected].


arrisburg Senators’ catcher Sandy Leon literally eats, sleeps and breathes baseball. At 23 years old, he’s already been playing the game

professionally for five years, spending most of that time playing winter ball back in his hometown of Maracaibo, Venezuela. As he stands in the dugout of the Senators’ perfectly manicured field on City Island in Harrisburg, his tan skin glistens in the hot sun. He speaks softly, yet passionately, about the game he loves.

“In Venezuela, I’d go to the gym, go to the field, go back to the gym and then do some running. And we’d do that Monday through Saturday but have Sunday off,” explains Leon. “Here, we play every day. We start working out in the morning, and then we have our games in the evenings.”

To say that Leon works hard would be an

understatement. Leon has played the sport for 18 year and was signed straight out of high school. Since then, he has continued to work towards his dream of playing in the major leagues, specifically for the Washington Nationals.

“I started off playing third base. One day, a scout from the Yankees wanted to see me catching, and I ended up liking it,” says Leon, who counts Puerto Rican catcher Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez as one of his favorite players. “I started working on my catching, and then I eventually got signed with the Senators doing that.”

Leon’s father has had a large influence on his son’s hard work on and off the field. He will make his way from Venezuela to Harrisburg next month to watch Leon play for the first time in six years.

“I’d say baseball is actually bigger in Venezuela,” explains Leon. “It’s like the

first thing your family teaches you.”Though he misses his Venezuelan-based

family, Leon has enjoyed his time spent in the Harrisburg area. He and his wife have explored local restaurants, malls and outlets as well as local attractions such as Hersheypark. During his downtime, he mostly enjoys relaxing at home with his wife.

Leon’s hectic baseball schedule – they play a grueling season of 142 games in five months – has limited him from connecting heavily with the local Latino community. Regardless, he appreciates the camaraderie between himself and the other Hispanic Senators players. The team includes two players from Venezuela, three from the Dominican Republic and one from Puerto Rico.

This is Leon’s first season with the Senators, and the team is off to a strong

start, currently standing near the top of the Western division of the AA Eastern League. Leon credits the strong team dynamic.

“Basically, we all just want to win,” he says with a grin. “It’s hard work, but we can do it.”

HIGH 5: Getting Healthy and Having Fun

Program Concludes with Astounding Success

Highmark Healthy

By Susan Haas Bates

In an effort to increase the quantity and quality of physical activity among children ages 6 to 13, more than 200 SPARK programs were initiated in Pennsylvania through Highmark Healthy High 5. Photo courtesy of SPARK™.

child’s life is one of wonder, excitement and innocence. From an early age, they learn to mimic what they see as well as feel, hear and touch. A child’s overall physical and

emotional health goes hand in hand with the examples and tools that are provided to them. As parents, teachers, guardians and mentors, our goal is to see our children thrive. It has been proven that one person can make all of the difference in a child’s life. Add to that one person, hundreds of dedicated supporters, professionals, educators, families and volunteers, along with one spectacularly successful program, and that number quickly multiplies.

Highmark Foundation, a charitable, private foundation and an affiliate of Highmark Inc., has successfully instilled the “success in numbers – it takes a village” message by reaching more than one million children and their families within

our region and beyond with its Highmark Healthy High 5 initiative. Highmark Healthy High 5, a five-year, $100 million project of the Highmark Foundation, offered a positive influence to making great change in children’s health issues.

In 2007, children ages 6 to 18 began to experience the impact of the Highmark Healthy High 5 initiative. Focusing on five areas that impact children’s health – nutrition, physical activity, bullying prevention, grief and self-esteem – the program covered the 49 counties within central and western Pennsylvania. In order to adequately meet the challenge of reaching this many children across these counties, the Highmark Foundation developed partnerships with organizations that had expertise in one or more of the areas related to children’s health promotion.

Signature partners included InnerLink, the Susan P. Byrnes Health Education Center, the SPARK Active Recreation

Program, KidShape, nrg Powered by Choice, The Heartwood Institute, The Highmark Caring Place, The Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention at the Windber Research Institute, The Center for Safe Schools, the Highmark Healthy High 5 Bullying Prevention Institute and the Highmark Healthy High 5 School Challenge Grant Program. These partners played an integral role in ensuring the effectiveness, impact and success of Highmark Healthy High 5.

The programs outlined below provide examples that contributed to the success of Highmark Healthy High 5.

School Challenge Grant Program: The Highmark Healthy High 5 School Challenge grant program invited schools within Highmark’s 49-county service area to submit innovative grant proposals within the topic areas of nutrition and physical activity. Fifteen hundred school buildings received a school challenge grant of up to

$10,000 to implement year-long wellness programs. More than $12 million in grants were provided throughout the five years. The awarded schools used these dollars to re-vamp physical education (PE) curricula, implement new PE classes and purchase exercise machines and equipment.

Health eTools for Schools: With funding from the Highmark Foundation, InnerLink developed Highmark Healthy High 5 Health eTools for Schools®, a secure, web-based portal that enabled school nurses to electronically input, track and communicate student’s health and fitness information. More than 460,000 children participated in the eTools for Schools program, representing an impressive 41 percent of the student population covering 933 schools.

SPARK (Sports Play Activity and Recreation for Kids): SPARK provides curriculum, professional development, content-related equipment, follow-up and ongoing support to increase the quantity

and quality of physical activity among children ages 6 to 13. Through a Highmark Foundation grant, SPARK brought this proven program to Pennsylvania by providing training opportunities, curricula and field support to schools and nonprofit organizations so they could provide after-school recreational programs. More than 200 SPARK programs were active during the Highmark Healthy High 5 initiative.

KidShape: KidShape is a nationally recognized, weight-management program geared toward overweight children between the ages of 6 and 14. The nine-week course encourages families to adopt better nutrition habits and engage in more frequent physical activity. The Highmark Foundation funded a total of 18 KidShape sites throughout the region. Pre- and post-surveys showed participants increased vegetable consumption by an average of .3 servings a day, and fruit consumption by an average of .35 servings per day, both statistically significant by comparison to

the program’s beginning and conclusion. Additionally, the average Body Mass Index (BMI) loss was .44 in nine weeks.

As the Highmark Healthy High 5 initiative concludes, the Highmark Foundation is moving forward, with renewed focus on initiating new and innovative approaches to addressing children’s overall health. “One of the most satisfying aspects of this experience was having the opportunity to talk with groups of parents to hear how this program has positively impacted not only their children’s lives, but their family’s lives as a whole,” states Highmark Foundation President Yvonne Cook. “We saw a great connection between what the kids were learning in schools and how they were taking those lessons home. The Highmark Foundation, through Highmark Healthy High 5, was able to invest in the community where the resources were greatly needed and could have the greatest impact. The positive outcomes of this program will help shape the direction for future initiatives.”

MAY 2012 25

reetings! This month I would like to talk to you about the importance of fruits and vegetables (F&V). F&V are our primary source of essential vitamins, minerals and fiber that

help protect us from chronic disease like diabetes, cancer and heart disease.

Fruit & Vegetable IntakeAccording the PA Department of Health’s

Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS) data, in 2009, on average, only 24 percent of adult Pa. residents 18 years and older reported eating the recommended five or more F&V each day. Worse yet, only 22 percent of adult Pa. Latinos and 19 percent of rural residents do a good job eating their F&V each day.

La Voz Latina newspaper is circulated in Pa, Florida and Kentucky, so I decided to compare the F&V daily intake of adult residents in these three particular states. As shown in Table 1, in 2009, BRFSS Florida and Kentucky resident had similar F&V intake patterns as Pa. residents. To no surprise, low F&V daily intake is a national problem where three out of four adults in the United States are not eating the recommended five or more F&V daily.

FiberThe usual intake of dietary fiber in the

United States is 15 grams per day, much less than required. Generally speaking, adults need an intake of 25 to 35 grams of fiber per day. However, talk to your doctor about your specific fiber needs as well as the best way to meet your needs, especially if you have food allergies that prevent you from consuming certain foods.

Three potential strategies that can help you increase your daily F&V intake: (1) Consume adequate amounts of dietary fiber from a variety of plant foods. Why? Because each F&V has its own unique characteristic, texture, flavor and health benefits; (2) Eat more high-fiber foods. Some examples of commonly consumed F&V are listed in Table 2 for comparison; and (3) Shop at your local farmer’s market.

In my opinion, visiting your local Pa. farmers’ market is an awesome place to start learning about (and buying) more F&V. First, local farmer’s markets are more likely to allow you to taste the F&V prior to purchase and also offer favorite local recipes. This means that you don’t have to wait to get home to find out that the F&V was “bad” and toss it in the waste basket. Second, farmers’ markets will allow you to have access to the freshest crop possible, although frozen form is OK, too. Third, buying your F&V at farmer’s markets help support local

farmers and their business which, in turn, helps generates money for the local community, and, yes, helps keep jobs in the U.S., particularly in Pa.! Lastly, buying locally allows you to “meet” the farmers who grew the crops, and ypu can even ask questions. That is, you know exactly where your food comes from as well as the person who planted the seeds and tended to that crop until the moment you purchased.

Some general recommendations for your daily fiber intake:• Consume more F&V and whole grains, if possible.• Be selective of your food choices – try to avoid processed foods that are low in fiber.• Shop at the local farmer’s market in your community. • Avoid pesticides and wash your F&V. • Buy organic products if possible.• Find (and try) a variety of recipes that use F&V as main ingredients. • Grow your own F&V, if possible.• Talk to your doctors about your fiber intake needs.• As always, maintain a healthful weight by balancing calories with physical activity.

Please don’t forget to eat more F&V. Take good care of yourself. Send me your health questions to ¡Hola, Oralia! Email: dr.oral iagarciadominic@gmail .com. Together we can help keep Pennsylvania residents healthy. ¡Salud!

aludos! Este mes me gustaría hablar con usted acerca de la importancia de las frutas y verduras (F&V). F&V son nuestra principal fuente de vitaminas esenciales, minerales

y fibra que ayudan a protegernos de las enfermedades crónicas como la diabetes, el cáncer y las enfermedades del corazón.

Frutas y verduras (F&V)Según el Departamento de PA de Behavioral

Health Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS) de datos, en 2009, en promedio, sólo el 24% de los adultos residentes de PA de 18 años reportaron haber comido el recomendado de 5 o más F&V cada día! Peor aún, sólo el 22% de los adultos PA Latinos y el 19% de los residentes rurales hacer un buen trabajo comiendo sus F&V cada día!

La Voz Latina se distribuye en PA, Florida (FL) y Kentucky (KY), así que me decidí a comparar el consumo de F&V diaria de los adultos residentes en estos tres estados en particular. Como se muestra en la Tabla 1, en 2009, BRFSS FL y residente KY había similares donde estos residentes consumen F&V como los residentes de PA! El bajo consumo diaria de F&V es un problema nacional, donde cada 3 de 4 adultos (75%) en los Estados Unidos NO están comiendo los 5 o más F&V todos los días!

FibraEl consumo habitual de fibra dietética en

los Estados Unidos es de 15 gramos / día, y menos de lo necesario. En general, los adultos necesitan una ingesta de 25 a 35 gramos de fibra por día. Sin embargo, hable con su médico acerca de sus necesidades específicas de fibra, así como la mejor manera de satisfacer sus necesidades, especialmente si usted tiene alergias a los alimentos que le impiden consumir ciertos alimentos.

Tres posibles estrategias que pueden ayudarle a aumentar su ingesta de F&V diario: (1) Consumen cantidades adecuadas de fibra dietética a partir de una variedad de alimentos vegetales. ¿Por qué? Porque cada F&V tiene su propia característica única,textura, sabor y beneficios para la salud, (2) Comer alimentos ricos en fibra más alta. Algunos ejemplos de F&V de consumo habitual se enumeran en la Tabla 2 para la comparación, y (3) Visitar y comprar en su local de Farmers Market!

En mi opinión, visitar su FARMERS MARKETS (Mercados de Agricultores)

locales en PA es un lugar impresionante para empezar a conocer (y comprar!) más F&V! En primer lugar, en los mercados de agricultores es más probable que le permiten probar las F&V antes de la compra y también ofrecen recetas favoritas locales. Esto significa que usted no tiene que esperar a llegar a casa para descubrir que la F&V era “malo” y lanzarla a la basura. En segundo lugar, los mercados de agricultores le permitirá tener acceso a (y consumir!) F&V más fresca posible, aunque forma congelada está bien también. En tercer lugar, la compra de su F&V en los mercados de agricultores ayuda a apoyar a nuestros agricultores locales y sus negocios que, a su vez, ayuda a genera dinero para nuestra comunidad local, y, sí, ayuda a mantener los puestos de trabajo en los Estados Unidos, en particular en PA! Por último, la compra a nivel local le permite “conocer” a los agricultores que crecieron los cultivos e hacer preguntas! Es decir, saber exactamente dónde provienen sus alimentos, y también la persona que plantó las semillas y tendía a que los cultivos hasta el momento en que lo compró!

Algunas recomendaciones generales para su consumo diario de fibra:

• Consuma más F&V, y granos enteros, si es posible• Sea selectivo de su elección de alimentos, trate de evitar los alimentos procesados que son bajos en fibra• Visita / compras en el Mercado de Agricultores (Farmer’s Markets) locales en su comunidad• Evite los pesticidas, lavarse las F&V• Compre productos orgánicos, si es posible• Buscar (y probarlo!) una variedad de recetas que utilizan F&V como ingredientes principales• Haga crecer su propia F&V, si es posible• Hable con sus médicos acerca de sus necesidades de consumo de fibra• Acceda La Voz Latina sección “FOOD” para recetas! http://noticias.us.com/category/food/ • Como siempre, mantenga un peso saludable, equilibrando las calorías con la actividad física

Bueno, mis amigos, por favor no se olviden de comer más frutas y verduras! Por favor manden sus preguntas de salud a ¡Hola, Oralia! Email: [email protected] Juntos podemos ayudar a mantener saludables los residentes de Pennsylvania! ¡Salud!
