asombra en el atletismoPor VICENTE L.PANETTA
SANTO DOMINGO (AP):Consiguió lo que se propusoy con aire de sobra. EstadosUnidos se retiró comocampeón del atletismo de losJuegos Panamericanos, conMéxico convertido en la granrevelación al quedar por pocodetrás del escolta Cuba y deltercero, que fue Brasil.
El atletismo se clausuróel sábado con EstadosUnidos sumando másmedallas a sus alforjas ycon Brasil ganando el oroen el maratón masculino yfemenino gracias aVanderlei Lima y MarciaNarloch, respectivamente.
Estados Unidos se llevódurante la jornada un total de10 medallas, entre ellas cincode oro. Brasil atrapó tres, yaque a los maratonistas se lesumó Hudson de Souza en los1.500 metros. Jamaica se llevódos y Cuba tan solo una.
En el total de medallas,Estados Unidos embolsó35, de las cuales 16 fueronde oro, 10 de plata y 9 de
bronce.Cuba quedó segunda con
29 preseas, pero de oroatrapó ocho, la mitad quesus rivalesestadounidenses. Losisleños también cosecharon12 de plata y 9 de bronce.
En los panamericanos deWinnipeg hace cuatro años,Estados Unidos superó aCuba por tan solo un oro.
Brasil quedó tercero conun total de 18 medallas (6-6-5) y México cuarto con13 (6-5-2).
Jamaica entró en elquinto lugar gracias a losdos oros que embolsó elsábado, que fueron lasúnicas de ese color, ademásde haberse llevado una deplata y tres de bronce. Ja-maica ganó los 100 metroscon vallas, con Brigitte Fos-ter, y el relevo de 4x400.

Mother of four, collegestudent, community activ-ist, political volunteer andorganizer, social worker—Denise Alvarado-Haackmay just possibly be thehardest working person inthe Toledo area.
But that doesn’t meanthat she is not ready to takeon more responsibility. Justrecently she added to heralready impressive résuméwhen she served as a co-chairperson of the ToledoPublic School levy renewalcampaign.
The main reason for thatservice, of course, is the factthat, first and foremost, sheis the mother of four. And allfour: Michael, 15; Marisela,9; Serena, 7; and Gabriel, 6,attend Toledo publicschools.
Adelante’s Alvarado-Haack hasmammoth energy and talentBy Fletcher WordLa Prensa Staff WriterPart 5 in a series of articles on Adelante, Inc.
And along with rearingfour youngsters, Alvarado-Haack has a full-time dayjob. She is the coordinator ofthe Adelante, Inc.’s Save OurSisters’ domestic violenceprogram, a position shemoved into six months agoafter a year’s service withAmericorps in the City ofToledo’s Youth Commis-sion.
Save Our Sisters offerssupport to women who are inat-risk domestic violent situ-ations. Alvarado-Haack’sprimary method of reachingout to victims is an 18-weekcourse designed to increaseself-esteem, self-reliance andaddress general women’s is-sues and healthier life styles.The program also addressesrelationship problems, angermanagement, and the effects
of domestic violence or, asAlvarado-Haack says: “whatit does to us as women andwhat it does to our families.”
She currently has about30 active participants in the
course and has a file of an-other 100 or so women withwhom she stays in contact—those who have gonethrough the course or are

There are more pro-grams under developmentfor Alvarado-Haack atAdelante, Inc. “I am cur-rently making strides tomerge my two passions:youth and violence-freelives for women,” she toldLa Prensa recently.
“This plan includes thedevelopment of a teen/fe-male support group thatwill address healthy life/relationship choices. Manyof our young women havewitnessed domestic vio-lence between their parentsor have already experi-enced domestic violence intheir own, young relation-ships and as young peopledon’t know how to recog-nize the unhealthy warn-ing signs or don’t knowthat this is unacceptable.”
Her passion for workingwith young people contin-ues on several other fronts.She is mentoring two highschool students, Deanna andSophia Vásquez, as part ofthe Latino Youth Mentoringprogram. And as a studentherself, Alvarado-Haack is amember of the University ofToledo’s Latino StudentUnion and serves as thatbody’s secretary.
Alvarado-Haack enteredUT on a part-time basis in2000 after having spent about10 years as a homemaker.When her children gained alittle independence, thegraduate of Springfield HighSchool went to college tomajor in business programs.She is considering a switchto Law and Social Thoughtand has about two years to gobefore earning her degree byher estimate.
Obviously with her work,motherhood, college and
Adelante’s Alvarado-Haack(Continued from Page 1)
mentoring, one would thinkthat Alvarado-Haack’s platemight be full.
One would be wrong.She has somehow man-
aged to find time for a littlepolitical activity on theside, for example, her workwith the school renewal levycampaign.
“All four of my childrenare TPS students,” saidAlvarado-Haack. “I want tostay active and make surethey are getting a qualityeducation. I couldn’t passup this opportunity to helpTPS. If the levy doesn’t pass,it will affect children imme-diately.”
So, that’s everything,right?
Wrong.Alvarado-Haack has
carved a few precious mo-ments out of her schedule tobe a part of City Council-man Frank Szollosi’s elec-tion campaign. She will becoordinating his campaignvolunteers.
She is an active memberof the Lucas County His-panic/Latino DemocraticCaucus and a member ofMescala, a Spanish culturalawareness group.
And, she has plans for yetanother major project.Alvarado-Haack hopes tohelp organize a Latino Par-ent Association that will of-fer support to and try to getthe involvement of Latinoparents throughout the city.
So that’s really about allshe does.
But, of course, if her tele-phone rings before this ar-ticle goes to press, it’s a safebet that we have probablymissed a few projects hereand there.

PONTIAC, MI (AP): Fran-cisco Valiente says he even-tually has to start over. Butfor now, he is mourning.
Valiente last Thursdayleft Michigan for his home-town of Puebla, Mexico,where he planned to buryhis pregnant wife and fivechildren killed when a firedestroyed their Pontiachome last week.
The trip would bring to aclose a decade-long jour-ney that brought Valienteand his family from Méxicoto the United States, wherethey crisscrossed the coun-try in search of opportunity.
Valiente and his wife,Guillermina Carrasco, metwhen they were just 6 yearsold. They came to the UnitedStates 10 years later.
“We escaped fromschool to come here,”Valiente told the Detroit FreePress through friend DebraEhrmann, who translatedthe words he spoke in Span-ish.
After starting their fam-ily and living in Los Ange-les, New York and New Jer-sey, the couple moved toPontiac, where Valiente said
friends were living and wageswere better.
It was there that the 26-year-old mother and her five chil-dren—7-year-old Grecia, 4-year-old twins Francisco andEduardo, 2-year-old Veronicaand 15-month-old Selena—were killed in the July 29 fire.Guillermina Valiente Carrascowas seven months pregnantwith a fourth daughter.
Francisco Valiente at timeswas nearly in tears as he spokeof his family, who he had spentthat day with celebrating re-cent birthdays.
“My wife was a very goodperson,” he said.
He spoke of how his chil-dren enjoyed watching Mexi-can movies on television andhow his twin boys asked him tobuy them a horse they couldride back to México.
Fire officials say the firestarted when a power stripmelted in the family’s two-story partial brick home. In-vestigators found no smokedetectors.
Valiente said none were inthe house.
Laws to prevent similar situ-ations may get tougher thisfall.
Spurred by the Valientefamily’s tragedy, State Sen.Shirley Johnson, R-RoyalOak, has introduced a pack-age of six bills that wouldrequire all rental propertiesto be wired with smoke de-tectors. Homeowners whopurchase fire suppressionsystems or alarms also wouldreceive a $100 tax credit.The Senate is set to vote onthe measure next month.
“We don’t want fire trag-edies like this to continue,”Johnson’s spokeswomanRebecca DeVooght said.“We believe this legislationcan save people’s lives, andwe’re hoping that what hap-pened last week will be theimpetus to get this legisla-tion approved.”
Michigan law currentlysets broad standards for therepair and maintenance ofrental properties, sayinghomes must be fit for use andpremises must be in reason-able condition.
Individual municipali-ties must then decide whatthey will require landlordsto provide, then enforce theirown laws and inspect homesfor compliance.

El Cónsul de México en Detroit, AntonioMeza Estrada agradeció a las autoridades y organizaciones la ayuda otorgada a lafamilia Valiente Carrasco de Pontiac victimada el martes 29 de Julio a causa de unincendio.

español, con información de cómo prevenir incendios en los hogares. Este materialse comenzó a repartir en algunas iglesias de Detroit y Pontiac, ya que en estos lugaresse concentra la mayor población de mexicanos.
El Cónsul Meza agrego que su oficina comenzará dicha campaña “para prevenirlos incendios en los hogares, porque los costos de la prevención no son nada si secomparan con el dolor de las tragedias y la perdida de vidas humanas”.

Una gran mayoría de losparticipantes de unaencuesta en línea delDepartamento del Tesoro seopone a cambiar losreglamentos relativos a laaceptación de matrículasconsulares de paísesextranjeros comodocumentos de identidadpor parte de institucionesfinancieras.
Un total de 14,990respuestas fueroncontabilizadas en losresultados temporarios de laencuesta llevada a cabo poresta secretaría federal entre el1 y el 31 de julio. De ellas,11,530, o el 76.92%,contestaron negativamente ala pregunta si los “términos ycondiciones de la regulaciónen la sección final 326 [de laLey Patriota]” debe sermodificada. El 22.56%respondió afirmativamente.
“Esta es una gran victoriapara los inmigrantes latinos,
para la economía y laseguridad pública”, dijoKatherine Culliton, abogadade derechos del inmigrantedel Fondo Mexicoamericanopara la Defensa Legal y laEducación (MALDEF), en uncomunicado.
La sección 326 permite ainstituciones bancariasaceptar documentos deidentidad de paísesextranjeros si son usados conel propósito de abrir unacuenta de banco.
MALDEF anunció queespera que el Departamentodel Tesoro siga permitiendo alos bancos aceptar la matrículaconsular como documento deidentidad, tal como lo hanhecho casi un millar dedepartamentos de policía ycentenares demunicipalidades en todo elpaís. Este llamado ha sidorespaldado por otrasimportantes organizacioneslatinas como el ConcejoNacional de La Raza (NCLR).

El uso de la matrícula con-sular de diferentes paísescomo medio deidentificación ha sidorecientemente puesto enduda, luego de que a fines delmes pasado, la Cámara Bajaaprobó una enmienda quesolicitaba al Departamentode Estado la regulación de laemisión de las mismas.

ARIES: (March 21-April 20)Any family squabbles may come as a result of tensions.
Be at your best and don’t let anyone spoil your upbeatmood. Once harmony is restored, turn your attentions tomaking plans with a few good friends. You are inclined tobe jealous and possessive of a mate. Stay cool.
TAURUS: (April 21 - May 21)Think before you speak. That temper of yours may flare
without any provocation. Your idealistic side usually winsout, so try real hard to follow your dreams. Hopefullysomething that has been bothering you for the last severalmonths is now gone for good.
GEMINI: (May 22 - June 21)A friend of yours has a serious problem and is relying on
your help to come up with a solution, so think fast. The weekwill go by pretty smoothly for it will have plenty of variety.At least you won’t have to worry about getting bored.
CANCER: (June 22 - July 23)It’s time to take a serious look at the romance in your
life—and ask yourself if your expectations are realistic. Trynot to take life to seriously and have fun with those you love.You tend to accomplish a lot and everyone around willcatch your enthusiasm.
LEO: (July 24- August 23)This week brings a welcome relief from recent pressures,
so spend time with those you love. Your strong ego may getyou in hot water with a mate, and those old feelings ofwhether you’ve made the right choice or not are going tosurface again. Your plans for the future are very realistic.
VIRGO: (August 24 - September 23)If you feel that your friends have been difficult to deal
with lately, perhaps you should take a good look at yourself.Listen to what a loved one has to say about your personallife, there is more merit there than you are willing to admit.Start improving things on the job.
LIBRA: (September 24 - October 23)People close to you are charming and agreeable, but not
very good about keeping promises, so be realistic at alltimes. Share some of your more creative ideas with someonewho can take them one step further, in a practical way. Keepan eye on the food your eating.
SCORPIO: (October 24 - November 22)All you want this week is peace and quiet, but it seems
like everyone needs to speak or be with you. Find time tosneak off on your own. Your feelings for a lover are intense,so try and remain as realistic as possible. Concentrate onorganizing family matters that need your attention.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 - December 21)The focus is on your private life for the next month or so.
This time you may find it easier to sort out old misunder-standings. Don’t take any risks with your money right now.You may regret it. You can accomplish a lot if you moveahead with confidence and grace.
CAPRICORN: (December 22 - January 20)Finish up with routine projects at work or at home as
opposed to starting new ones. You will do best with what’sfamiliar right now. You tend to worry about money, so justbe extra careful about how and where you spend. With yourdelightful charm you may get just what you need.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 - February 19)Even though you try your best to please everyone, you
won’t be very successful. Maybe you should try to pleaseyourself. You are going to be more thoughtful and intro-spective than usual. Let your thoughts move to spiritualmatters. You have a strong need to help and serve humanity.
PISCES: (February 20 - March 20)The people you care about are very receptive to your
ideas right now. That’s the kind of support you really need.When it comes to your homelife, things have been going inten different directions; it’s time to get organized. Get outand mix with new friends.
IF THIS WEEK IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Now’s time toreview projects and former decisions. Re-structuring willbe important at this time. It’s also ripe for wise investmentsand business dealings. Some of your most cherished beliefsabout security may be tested in the coming year.

Mi Tierra una taquería deDetroit que tiene comidadeliciosaPor Carla Soto
Mi Tierra es una taqueríaque habrió hace ya casi unaño, y desde que habrió lacomida ha sido un exito.
Ya que desde que laTaquería Mi Tierra habrió,ellos han tenido todo tipode clientes, como asiaticos,chinos, mexicanos, esta-dounidenses, colombianos,p u e r t o r i q u e ñ o s ,panameños, bueno de todasnacionalidades, y estoquiere decir que la comidade esta taquería revaza lafrontera de la nacionalidad,cultura, color y raza, puesno importa lo que seas, estacomida que es deliciosa estahecha para todo el mundo.
Y a pesar de que los tacosy el pozole son 100%mexicanos, losestadounidenses losdisfrutan de los mejor, y noes para menos puesto quelos tacos al pastor de laTaquería Mi Tierra estanriquisimos, al igual que elpozole que esta bien hechocon los mejoresingredientes y el mejorsabor.
Taquería Mi Tierra seespecializa en comida de
mexicana y lo que mas sevende en esta taquería son,las tortas, el pozole, lasfajitas, las carnes asadas, losdesayunos, los burritos, lasbotanas, las tortas ahogas,las birria, los lonchesespeciales, las carnes ensalsa roja, el menudo y clarono podian faltar los tacosque en Taquería Mi Tierratienen mas de 10 tipos detacos, para que puedasescojer a tu gusto.
Al igual que la comidaesta riquisima las bedidastambién son parteimportante de esta Taqueríapuesto que aqui se vendelos mejores aguas de De-troit como las aguas dehorchata, tamarindo, Ja-maica, y limonadas, ytambien te pueden hacer unjugo natural, como jugos denaranja, de Zanahoria, ytambién tienen jarritos.
Taquería Mi Tierra tienede todo, asi que si quieresdesfrutar de una Buenacomida y un buen serviciove a Taquería Mi Tierra, esrico, barato, y saldrascontento, asi como dicenpanza llena corazóncontento.
Toledo también, pero sintaquería
Moving south to Toledo,
we find no taquerías (¡Quelastima!), but we do find aproliferation of Mexicanowned and operated restau-rants since January of 2002when El Camino Realopened its second locationin Toledo at Douglas andSylvania Streets—then ElReparo, which had a loca-tion in the Southwyck area,opened its Sylvania restau-rant.
We also have El Salto inMaumee, Arnoldo’s inNorthwood, and LaPirámide del Sol in my neckof the woods, south Toledo.
In the past two months ElRodeo (on Monroe Street,west Toledo), Mi Hacienda(on Glanzman, south To-ledo), and El Vaquero (onSecor Street, west Toledo)opened—all boast excellentMexican cuisine. Mind
you, there is no cooking likemy mother’s comidamexicana, but I have en-joyed eating at all of thesevenues. I also like the factthat they are spread out, indifferent parts of T-town, sothat I can get a bite wher-ever I am at.
But let us not forget thatthis all started in 1968 withSeñor Villa and El Tipico insouth Toledo. I should alsomention that I have not yethad the opportunity to dineat El Coyote in north To-ledo and will keep La Razaposted.
Toledo is well blessedwith comida mexicana, butwe need taquerías tambiéncomo El Nacimiento, MiTierra, San Ignacio, Los Al-tos, y Lupitas en Detroit.
¡Viva México! ¡Viva lacomida mexicana!
