Viviana Medellín muere a los 74 V

iviana Medellín, de 74 años y residente del área de Kansas City, falleció pacíficamente el 10 de agosto, con su esposo Richard y su familia a su lado. Oriunda de Roeland Park, Kansas, Medellín nació de Ofelia y Antonio Rodríguez el 30 de noviembre de 1946, pero siempre celebraba su cumpleaños el 1 de diciembre porque ese era el día en que su padre le dijo que había nacido. Medellín fue un referente de la comunidad hispana en el área de Kansas City. Supervisó el entretenimiento de la Fiesta Hispana anual. También se desempeñó como presidenta de Azteca de Greater KC y vicepresidenta del Comité de Herencia Hispana de Greater Kansas City. Ella trabajó en el Hospital St. Luke durante más de 40 años. “Comenzó como asistente de enfermería (y) finalmente siguió su sueño de trabajar en el laboratorio cardiovascular junto a renombrados cardiólogos, como el Dr. G. Hartzler y el Dr. Barry Rutherford, quienes le enseñaron todo lo que necesitaba saber”, decía el obituario oficial. Medellín también incursionó como DJ de radio. Fue la DJ del martes por la noche en “A Taste of

A native of Roeland Park, Kansas, Medellin was born to Ofelia and Antonio Rodriguez on Nov. 30, 1946, but she always celebrated her birthday on Dec. 1 because that was the day her dad told her she was born. Medellin was a referent of the Hispanic community in the Kansas City area. She oversaw the entertainment for the annual Fiesta Hispana. She also served as president of Azteca de Greater KC and vice president of The Greater Kansas City Hispanic Heritage Committee. Medellin worked at St. Luke’s Hospital for 40-plus years. “She started as a nursing assistant (and) eventually followed her dream of working in the cardiovascular lab alongside renown cardiologists, Dr. G.

Montalvo comparte su historia de divorcio para ayudar a las mujeres a sanar By Chara

Montalvo shares story of divorce to help women heal

verland Park, Kansas, resident Ana Montalvo hopes she can help other O women heal from the pain that comes with divorce. Her healing method is to share her own story. Montalvo thought her marriage would last forever. Then, she realized she was married to an emotionally distant husband, she said. “We were married for 21 years and it was very hard for me because I never thought this was going to happen,” Montalvo said. “I felt I was speaking to a wall. I was trying the best I could, but I wasn’t seeing any response.” Montalvo had to face several fears when she divorced, including telling her children and other family members, and the fear of being alone, she recalled. “One of my biggest fears was to tell my children what was going to happen. Most of my children were in their late teens and I wasn’t sure how they were going to react,” Montalvo said. When Montalvo told her family, she was surprised at some of the

na Montalvo, residente de Overland Park, Kansas, espera poder ayudar a otras mujeres a recuperarse del dolor que acompaña al divorcio. Su método de curación es compartir su propia historia. Montalvo pensó que su matrimonio duraría para siempre. Luego, se dio cuenta de que estaba casada con un marido emocionalmente distante, dijo. “Estuvimos casados por 21 años y fue muy difícil para mí porque nunca pensé que esto iba a pasar”, dijo Montalvo. “Sentí que le estaba hablando a una pared. Hice lo mejor que pude, pero no vi ninguna respuesta”. Montalvo tuvo que enfrentar varios miedos cuando se divorció, entre ellos contárselo a sus hijos y otros miembros de la familia, y el miedo a estar sola, recordó. “Uno de mis mayores temores era contarles a mis hijos lo que iba a pasar. La mayoría de mis hijos estaban en la adolescencia y no estaba seguro de cómo iban a reaccionar”, dijo Montalvo. Cuando Montalvo se lo contó a su familia, se sorprendió por algunas de las reacciones.

trabajar juntos hace unos cuatro años, cuando se le encargó a Álvarez que pintara un mural para las Escuelas Públicas de Kansas City. “Me estaba demorando demasiado, así que llamé a Isaac y le pregunté si estaba interesado en unirse; y entonces, aparece con pintura en aerosol, otro medio más al que no estaba acostumbrado, así que sí, comenzamos a hacer murales desde entonces”, recordó Álvarez. Tapia y Álvarez asistieron a Paseo Academy, aunque no estaban en el mismo grado. Álvarez era un estudiante de último año cuando Tapia era un estudiante de primer año. Desde que empezaron a hacer murales juntos, han realizado más de 50 murales. En 2020 trabajaron en dos de ellos por la pandemia del COVID; sin embargo, Tapia dijo que la pandemia ha sido productiva para ellos en términos de su propio arte personal. “En nuestro trabajo personal, siento que definitivamente crecimos mucho”, dijo. El trabajo mural está mejorando este año. “Tenemos tanta suerte de que este año estemos haciendo esto a tiempo completo”, dijo Tapia. A finales de mes, los dos viajarán a Wisconsin para hacer un mural. Más tarde, planean ir a Las Vegas, Nevada, por la misma razón. Cuando se le preguntó qué significa su arte para el área de Kansas City, Álvarez lo ve como un tema de conversación. “Siento que genera una conversación, especialmente cuando la atmósfera actualmente está tan polarizada”, dijo. “Une las diferencias y une a la comunidad”. Para Tapia, una parte clave de su trabajo es llevar el arte a aquellas comunidades con más difícil acceso a él. “Para mí, siento que es llevar arte a una comunidad que a veces no puede permitirse el lujo de tener obras de arte o tener el lujo de salir y comprar una obra de arte”, dijo. Álvarez enfatiza que el arte, en última instancia, no tiene precio. “El arte está en todas las facetas de la vida, desde el diseño de la ropa que usamos hasta la forma en que representamos nuestros pensamientos”, dijo.

Mundos spoke with muralist duo Isaac Tapia and Rodrigo “Rico” Alvarez — better known as IT-RA Icons — about their experiences with art. Tapia and Alvarez started working together about four years ago, when Alvarez was commissioned to paint a mural for the Kansas City Public Schools. “I was taking too long, so I hit Isaac up and I asked him if he was interested in joining; and so, he shows up with spray paint, yet another medium that I wasn’t really used to, so yeah, we started doing murals since then on,” Alvarez recalled. Tapia and Alvarez both attended Paseo Academy, though they were not in the same grade. Alvarez was a senior when Tapia was a freshman. Since they started making murals together, they have done more than 50 murals. In 2020, they worked on two of them because of the COVID pandemic; however, Tapia said the pandemic has been productive for them in terms of their own personal art. “On our personal work, I feel like we definitely grew a lot,” he said. The mural work is picking up this year. “We’re so lucky that this year we’re doing this full time,” Tapia said. By month’s end, the two will travel to Wisconsin to make a mural. Later, they plan to go to Las Vegas, Nevada, for the same reason. When asked what their art means to the Kansas City area, Alvarez sees it as a conversation-starter. “I feel like it sparks conversation, especially when the atmosphere currently is so polarized,” he said. “It bridges the differences and brings the community together.” For Tapia, a key part of their work is to bring art to those communities with harder access to it. “To me, I feel like it’s bringing art to a community that sometimes can’t afford to have artwork or have the luxury to go out and buy a piece of art,” he said. Alvarez emphasizes that art is ultimately priceless. “Art is in every facet of life, from the design of the clothing we wear to the way we depict our thoughts,” he said.

Montalvo Divorce Continued from Page 1A

“Algunos se sorprendieron, otros me dijeron que se dieron cuenta de lo que estaba pasando con mi matrimonio”, contó. Algunas de las herramientas que ayudaron a Montalvo a hacer frente a su divorcio incluyeron establecer un presupuesto, crear un calendario y aprender a manejar las finanzas. También estableció metas y siguió motivándose. “Si me aparecía un obstáculo, solía decirme a mí misma: ‘Está bien, vas a resolverlo’”, dijo. La terapia era una de las mejores formas en que Montalvo se cuidaba, recordó. Comenzó a conocerse a sí misma y a realizar actividades que disfrutaba. Montalvo anima a las mujeres que están pasando por un divorcio a buscar terapia, si es posible, y vivir y concentrarse en el presente. Además, les aconseja que eviten hablar con sus hijos sobre lo que están pasando. Específicamente, “no deberían hablar de ‘trapos sucios’ frente a sus hijos”, dijo. “Es mejor encontrar un amigo para hablar sobre su divorcio en lugar de hablar con sus hijos”, dijo. Montalvo también cree que el divorcio podría no ser la solución para todas las parejas. “Creo que, si tienes un socio que está dispuesto a trabajar contigo y encontrar una solución a tus problemas, puedes hacerlo”, dijo. “Siempre hay obstáculos, pero si realmente quieren trabajar juntos, pueden hacerlo. En mi caso, no fue posible porque él no estaba dispuesto a trabajar ... (para solucionar) nuestros problemas”.

reactions. “Some of them were surprised, others told me that they realized what was happening with my marriage,” Montalvo said. Some tools that helped Montalvo cope with her divorce included setting up a budget, creating a calendar and learning how to handle finances. She also set goals and kept motivating herself. “If an obstacle came to my mind, I used to tell myself, ‘It is OK, you are going to figure it out,’” she said. Therapy was one of the best ways Montalvo took care of herself, she recalled. She started to get to know herself and do activities she enjoyed. Montalvo encourages women who are going through divorce to seek therapy, if possible, and live and focus on today. In addition, she advises them to avoid talking to their children about what they are going through. Specifically, “they should not talk ‘dirty laundry’ in front of their children,” she said. “It is better to find a friend to talk about your divorce instead of talking to your children,” Montalvo said. Montalvo also thinks that divorce might not be the solution for all couples. “I think that, if you have a partner who is willing to work with you and find a solution to your problems, you can do it,” she said. “There are always obstacles, but if you really want to work together, you can do it. In my case, it wasn’t possible because he wasn’t willing to work … (out) our problems.”

os niños toman sus propias señales de lo que los adultos que los rodean dicen y cómo lo dicen y de su comportamiento, nos dicen los expertos. Aprenden de lo que ven que sucede a su alrededor: cómo nosotros, como adultos, respondemos a las experiencias y situaciones. Cuando se trata de la amenaza siempre presente del Covid-19 y la variante Delta, los adultos tienen la responsabilidad crucial de moderar el lenguaje y los mensajes relacionados con los problemas y precauciones relacionados con la pandemia. Si bien queremos fomentar prácticas en los jóvenes para mantenerlos a salvo del coronavirus y sus variantes, debemos evitar el uso de lenguaje y mensajes que aterroricen a los niños y les hagan odiar, desconfiar o temer a las personas que los rodean. Los niños tienen una necesidad fundamental de seguridad y conexión. El papel de los adultos en sus vidas es satisfacer esas necesidades. Desde marzo de 2020, la pandemia ha interrumpido la escuela y otras actividades normales. Ahora, es vital para el desarrollo académico, social y psicológico de los jóvenes que regresen a las clases presenciales y reanuden sus actividades normales. Es fundamental para su salud en general y para evitar una mayor pérdida de

ids take their own cues from what the adults around them say and how they say it and from their behavior, experts tell us. They learn from what they see happening around them – how we as adults respond to experiences and situations. When it comes to the ever-present threat of Covid-19 and the Delta variant, adults have a crucial responsibility to temper language and messaging concerning pandemic-related issues and precautions. While we want to foster practices in youngsters to keep them safe from the coronavirus and its variants, we must avoid using language and messaging that terrifies kids and makes them hate, distrust or fear the people around them. Kids have a fundamental need for safety and connection. The role of the adults in their lives is to meet those needs. Since March of 2020, the pandemic has disrupted school and other normal activities. Now, it’s vital to youngsters’ academic, social and psychological development for them to return to in-person classes and resume normal activities. It’s critical to their overall health and to prevent further learning loss.

aprendizaje. La cobertura de noticias sin escalas proporciona un recordatorio constante de que la crisis del coronavirus es omnipresente y potencialmente mortal. Los niños no son capaces de filtrar noticias para que sean menos amenazantes o molestas. Pueden sentir que están en peligro inmediato y que todos los que los rodean representan una amenaza. Los padres pueden asegurarles a sus hijos que mucha gente está trabajando duro para mantenerlos a salvo, sugieren los expertos; señale que las personas se están ayudando unas a otras durante la pandemia, compartiendo actos de bondad y generosidad; y sea honesto y comuníquese usando un lenguaje mesurado y apropiado para su edad. Explíqueles a los niños que tienen cierto control sobre su propia seguridad frente al coronavirus: pueden lavarse las manos a fondo y con frecuencia y usar una máscara. Las máscaras para niños, y personas de todas las edades, pueden ser distintivos, personalizados y divertidos. Incluso para aquellos que encuentran que usar una máscara es un poco inconveniente o incómodo, es mejor que enfermarse con una enfermedad potencialmente fatal. El propósito de los padres al hablar con sus hijos sobre el coronavirus no es asustarlos. Más bien, el objetivo es impartir cautela, que da poder, no miedo, que es inmovilizador, peligroso e improductivo.

Nonstop news coverage provides a constant reminder that the coronavirus crisis is ubiquitous and potentially deadly. Kids aren’t capable of filtering news to make it less threatening or upsetting. They may feel like they’re in immediate danger and everyone around them represents a threat. Parents can reassure their kids that a lot of people are working hard to keep them safe, experts suggest; point out that people are helping one another during the pandemic, sharing acts of kindness and generosity; and be honest and communicate using measured, age-appropriate language. Explain to kids that they have some control over their own safety from the coronavirus: They can wash their hands thoroughly and often and wear a mask. Face coverings for kids – and people of all ages -- can be distinctive, personalized and fun. Even for those who find wearing a mask slightly inconvenient or uncomfortable, it beats getting sick with a potentially fatal disease. Parents’ purpose in talking to their kids about the coronavirus isn’t to scare them. Rather, the objective is to impart caution, which is empowering, not fear, which is immobilizing, dangerous and unproductive.

Also from Kansas City we will participate, from Monday 23rd to Friday 27th, in the fourth Binational Education Week, under the motto “With Education We All Advance”, whose activities and opportunities we will divulge in “Voces Consulares” next week.

This essential service allows us to serve Mexican nationals who live within the Kansas City consular district, whose territory is almost twice as large as the state of Chihuahua. The consulate’s Ventanilla de Salud will also be traveling to inform about opportunities for vaccination against COVID-19 to Mexican men and women in that part of our district service area. And from August 30th to September 3rd we will have the XIII Labor Rights Week. This year’s message: “Your rights matter to us, with or without pandemic.” We will share the program soon.

Wearing Masks in Kansas City, KS is Key to Slowing Surge in New COVID-19 Cases Usar máscaras en Kansas City, KS es clave para bajar el aumento en los casos de COVID-19 Nuevo mandato de máscaras emitido para New Mask Mandate Issued for Kansas City, Kansas, y otras partes del Kansas City, Kansas and Other condado de Wyandotte Portions of Wyandotte County

os nuevos casos de COVID-19 están aumentando dramáticamente en el condado de Wyandotte, y la semana pasada la Comisión del Gobierno Unificado tomó medidas para tratar de frenar la propagación. Aprobaron una nueva orden de máscaras para Kansas City, Kansas, y el área no incorporada de Loring en el condado de Wyandotte. El pedido de máscaras ahora está vigente hasta las 11:59 p.m. del 16 de septiembre de 2021. La orden no se aplica a las escuelas públicas y privadas y también excluye las ciudades de Bonner Springs y Edwardsville, Kansas. Los comisionados de UG optaron por dejar la decisión de los requisitos de las máscaras a las juntas escolares y a los funcionarios electos de Bonner Springs y Edwardsville, respectivamente. En la reunión de la Comisión del UG de la semana pasada, los líderes del Departamento de Salud Pública del Gobierno Unificado y el Dr. Steve Stites, Director Médico del Sistema de Salud de la Universidad de Kansas, presentaron algunas estadísticas preocupantes sobre la propagación del COVID-19 en el condado de Wyandotte: *El promedio móvil de 7 días de casos por día es de hasta 77 casos nuevos por día, la tasa más alta desde fines de enero de 2021 y nueve veces más alta que el promedio de casos por día hace sólo dos meses. *La tasa de positividad (un promedio móvil de 7 días de porcentajes de pruebas positivas) ha subido al 32 por ciento, tan alta como a mediados de enero de 2021, y más de cuatro veces mayor que la tasa de positividad en mayo de 2021. *Dos tercios de los casos positivos actuales en el condado de Wyandotte se encuentran entre niños y adultos jóvenes menores de 40 años. *La gran mayoría de los casos hospitalizados de COVID-19 se dan en personas que no han sido vacunadas. Estos líderes de atención médica están especialmente preocupados por la presencia de la variante Delta en el

ew cases of COVID-19 are surging dramatically in Wyandotte County, and last N week the Unified Government Commission took

action to try to slow the spread. They approved a new mask order for Kansas City, Kansas and the unincorporated area of Loring in Wyandotte County. The mask order is now in effect through 11:59 pm on September 16, 2021. The order does not apply to public and private schools and also excludes the cities of Bonner Springs and Edwardsville, Kansas. UG Commissioners opted to leave the decision of mask requirements to school boards and to Bonner Springs and Edwardsville elected officials, respectively. At last week’s UG Commission meeting, Unified Government Public Health Department leaders and Dr. Steve Stites, Chief Medical Officer with the University of Kansas Health System, presented some concerning statistics about the spread of COVID-19 in Wyandotte County: *The rolling 7-day average of cases per day is up to 77 new cases per day – the highest rate since late January 2021 , and nine times higher than the average cases per day just two months ago. *The positivity rate (a 7-day rolling average of positive test percentages) has climbed to 32 percent, as high as it was in mid-January 2021, and more than four times higher than the positivity rate in May 2021. *Two-thirds of current positive cases in Wyandotte County are among children and young adults under 40 years of age. *The vast majority of hospitalized cases of COVID-19 are in people who have not been vaccinated. These healthcare leaders are especially concerned about the presence of the Delta Variant in Wyandotte County and the metro area because it spreads much more easily than other types of COVID.

Lecciones olímpicas By Jorge Ramos

e nos acabaron los Juegos S Olímpicos y lo siento como una pérdida personal. He pasado,

como millones de personas, dos semanas pegado a una pantalla a las horas más inverosímiles, maravillado de lo que el cuerpo y la determinación de un grupo de atletas pueden hacer. Estas Olimpiadas en Tokio —y estoy usando el término como sinónimo de los Juegos Olímpicos, como acepta la Real Academia Española, aunque algunos puristas recuerden que son cosas distintas— no fueron lo que tantos esperábamos: el fin de la pandemia planetaria con una colorida celebración. El retraso de un año del evento prometía una recompensa luego del sacrificio; si nos portábamos bien en 2020, 2021 traería salud y alegría. Pero no fue así. La altamente contagiosa variante delta, las personas que no han podido vacunarse y —lo peor— quienes sí pueden hacerlo pero no quieren, obligó a que se realizaran unos juegos sin espectadores. Los temores de que estos fueran unos Juegos Olímpicos “sin alma” quedaron desechados con el primer pistoletazo de salida. Viéndolos refrendé una idea en la que creo desde hace tiempo: los Juegos representan lo mejor de la humanidad. Paramos todo —conflictos y hasta pandemias— para ver a los mejores atletas del mundo hacer lo que mejor hacen. Hay muchas lecciones de estas olimpíadas. La primera es que si trabajamos juntos y somos cuidadosos, le podemos ganar al coronavirus. Ningún evento se tuvo que cancelar y se registraron relativamente pocos casos que entre los competidores y sus entrenadores. Creo, además, que nos vamos de estos Juegos con la clara impresión de que los atletas olímpicos no son superhéroes de cómics, impasibles e impenetrables, alejados de nuestra realidad. Al contrario, los sentimos más cerca que nunca. La valentía con la que la gimnasta estadounidense Simone Biles salió de varias competencias en Tokio y abordó públicamente problemas de salud mental va a salvar muchas vidas. “No solo somos entretenimiento”, dijo Biles en una conferencia de prensa después de regresar a la última competencia olímpica y ganar una medalla de bronce. “Somos humanos”, agregó. Las derrotas olímpicas de dos de los mejores tenistas del mundo —la japonesa Naomi Osaka y el serbio Novak Djokovic— ambos han reconocido en otros momentos, también, los enormes desafíos a su salud mental que enfrentan en competencias internacionales, han abierto la conversación para los que nunca pisaremos las canchas de Wimbledon o Roland Garros. La ansiedad y el estrés, sobre todo en medio de una pandemia, es parte de nuestras vidas. También lo es de la vida de los atletas de élite. Perdí la cuenta de los competidores que se echaban a llorar al terminar sus eventos olímpicos. No importaba si ganaban o perdían. Era el fin de años de entrenamiento, lesiones, sacrificios y retos que no solemos enfrentar quienes no formamos parte de ese pequeño grupo de deportistas extraordinarios. Vimos, en las pantallas, esos sollozos incontrolables que hacen temblar el cuerpo y cortan la voz. Un ejemplo. El italiano, Gianmarco Tamberi —quien compartió la medalla de oro en salto de altura con el catarí Mutaz Barshim— lloró inconsolable sobre la pista de atletismo junto al pedazo de yeso que tuvo que usar en 2016 debido a una lesión que le impidió participar en los Juegos de Río de Janeiro. Entrenó cinco años con disciplina y determinación.

OBITUARIES

Fuera de las Olimpíadas es difícil encontrar en otro lugar la perfección humana. Y en Tokio lo vimos: dos clavados perfectos —con 10 de calificación— desde la plataforma de 10 metros de la china Quan Hongchan, quien apenas tiene 14 años. El nacionalismo light de los Juegos Olímpicos es el único que soporto. Se vale irle a tu país en el futbol, basquetbol o waterpolo aunque en el caso de los rusos le pongan otro nombre al equipo. Rusia fue sancionada por un escándalo de dopaje a sus atletas, así que sus competidores —que no estuvieron involucrados en el dopaje— tuvieron que hacerlo a nombre del Comité Olímpico Ruso. A pesar de los nacionalismos, las celebraciones envueltas en una bandera y la implícita lucha política por tener más preseas, todas las atletas en el gimnasio le aplaudieron a Simone Biles luego de su última participación, y Simone le aplaudió a la gimnasta china que le ganó en la barra de equilibrio, y dos corredores —de Estados Unidos y Botsuana — se ayudaron a levantarse luego de una caída en la final de los 800 metros planos, se abrazaron y cruzaron juntos la meta. Por actos como esos es que amo los Juegos Olímpicos y es la razón por la que me desvelé para ver la competencia de salto de garrocha, ver el disparo de una flecha o a una niña de 13 años hacer piruetas sobre una patineta. Mi obsesión por las Olimpíadas tiene una larga historia. Yo también tuve un sueño olímpico. Cuando tenía 15 años fui aceptado para entrenar en el Centro Deportivo Olímpico Mexicano. Empecé en salto de altura —logré saltar varios centímetros por arriba de mi estatura, que no es mucho— y luego de que me diagnosticaron un problema en la columna pasé a correr 400 metros con vallas. Mi mayor objetivo por dos años fue prepararme para ir a unos Juegos Olímpicos. Pero la lesión—una fisura en una vertebra— no mejoró, los doctores me prohibieron seguir entrenando y eso terminó con mis aspiraciones olímpicas. Nunca he llorado tanto en mi vida. Y todavía hoy los ojos se me llenan de lágrimas al recordarlo. No haber podido ir a unas Olimpíadas es uno de los grandes vacíos de mi vida. Aún guardo, casi con veneración, la credencial que me expidió el Comité Olímpico Mexicano. Cubrí como periodista los Juegos de Los Ángeles en 1984, y asistí como espectador a los de Atlanta en 1996 con mi hija Paola, y a los de Londres en 2012, acompañado por mi hijo Nicolás, y con la secreta esperanza de contagiarles el espíritu olímpico. Mientras tanto, cada cuatro años tengo una cita con las Olimpíadas, como esos amantes que prometen verse en un lugar y a una hora específica. Limpio mi calendario. Me aseguro de que tendré una o varias señales con todas las competencias —no discrimino ningún deporte— y me siento por días frente al televisor, absorto, viajando en mi mente, a veces en un estado de absoluta concentración. Veo, admiro y aplaudo lo que yo nunca pude hacer.

KCK school district rallies community to support students, prevent deaths (Part 1)

Distrito escolar de KCK reúne a la comunidad para apoyar a los estudiantes y prevenir muertes Cortesy by The Beacon by Maria Benevento

l programa “Enough is Enough” busca crear conciencia, conectar a las familias con los recursos y elevar la voz de los estudiantes Sharita Hutton dijo que dejó el periodismo porque era difícil cubrir las muertes con tanta frecuencia. Pero durante el año escolar 2019-20, el primero en un nuevo trabajo en el departamento de comunicaciones de las Escuelas Públicas de Kansas City, Kansas, Hutton escribió 23 cartas a la comunidad escolar para decirles que otro estudiante había muerto. Once de las muertes fueron causadas por violencia armada. La respuesta del distrito, lanzada en octubre de 2020, se llama Enough is Enough, o Ya Basta en español. La iniciativa busca crear conciencia sobre los problemas y los recursos, recopilar comentarios de los estudiantes y la comunidad en general, y abordar algunos de los factores de riesgo que conducen a las muertes. El KCKPS está ubicado en el condado de Wyandotte, un área que el distrito escolar y los representantes de la comunidad dicen que todavía está lidiando con los efectos de las desigualdades históricas y el trauma, como la línea roja. Hutton cree que habría más indignación pública si una serie de muertes de jóvenes ocurriera en otro lugar. “Si esto sucediera en cualquier otro lugar, si esto sucediera en algunas de nuestras otras ciudades ... la gente se enojaría porque nuestros bebés están muriendo”, dijo Hutton. Ya Basta es un esfuerzo para informar al público de lo que está sucediendo y “motivar a la comunidad a unirse para asegurarse de que nuestros estudiantes tengan un futuro exitoso o incluso un futuro”, dijo. Las causas de las muertes de jóvenes Las estadísticas más recientes disponibles, de 2019, muestran que Wyandotte tiene la tasa de homicidios más alta de todos los condados de Kansas, dijo Hannah Conner. Conner es la epidemióloga de prevención de la violencia en el Departamento de Salud Pública del Gobierno Unificado. Las estadísticas de 2019 también muestran que el homicidio es la causa más común de muerte entre los jóvenes en el condado de Wyandotte, dijo Conner. Si bien no se dispone de datos sobre otras causas de muerte en 2020, los datos policiales proporcionados al Departamento de Salud muestran un aumento en los homicidios de jóvenes ese año, dijo Conner. El departamento incluye las edades de 1 a 24 en la definición de juventud porque el rango de edad de 18 a 24 es “un grupo de edad muy vulnerable a la violencia”, dijo. El homicidio no es la única amenaza para la vida de los estudiantes. En el año escolar 2019-20, tres estudiantes murieron por suicidio, dos se ahogaron en incidentes no relacionados con una semana de diferencia entre sí y otros murieron por causas naturales, dijo Hutton. Los recursos de Enough is Enough también destacan el abuso de drogas y alcohol como un peligro. El número de muertes en el año escolar 2020-21, durante el cual los estudiantes estaban en gran parte en aprendizaje remoto, no fue tan alto. Pero en una reunión de la junta escolar del 8 de junio, el presidente de la junta, Randy López, abrió la reunión con un momento de silencio para un estudiante que acababa de ser asesinado. Más adelante en la reunión, justo antes de una presentación sobre Enough is Enough, López pidió a la comunidad que se uniera para detener la violencia. “No podemos tener una muerte más de estudiantes, especialmente a causa de la violencia armada, en nuestra comunidad”, dijo. “Nos duele a todos cuando perdemos a un estudiante. ... Sólo estoy suplicando a todos los que miran, escuchan, por favor, trabajemos juntos. No podemos seguir haciéndole esto a nuestra comunidad. Tenemos que amarnos unos a otros”. En una entrevista con The Kansas City Beacon a fines de julio, López dijo que el distrito está trabajando con muchos socios comunitarios y le gustaría continuar expandiendo sus esfuerzos. Está interesado en contratar personal dedicado solo a Enough is Enough, pero también está abierto a que otro grupo encabece la iniciativa mientras el distrito asume un papel de apoyo. “Sé que no podemos ser la única fuerza impulsora en torno a esto”, dijo. Pero por ahora, dijo López, KCKPS está entusiasmado con tomar la iniciativa durante el tiempo que sea necesario. “Creo que es necesario que hagamos esto ahora mismo”, dijo. “No es normal que una comunidad tenga más de 20 muertes de estudiantes, muchas debido a la violencia con armas de fuego. Eso nunca debería ser algo aceptado”.

he Enough is Enough program seeks to raise awareness, connect families to resources and elevate student voices Sharita Hutton said she left journalism because it was difficult to cover deaths so often. But during the 2019-20 school year, her first in a new job with the Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools communications department, Hutton wrote 23 letters to the school community to tell them that yet another student had died. Eleven of the deaths were caused by gun violence. The district’s response, launched in October 2020, is called Enough is Enough, or Ya Basta in Spanish. The initiative seeks to raise awareness of problems and resources, gather input from students and the broader community, and address some of the risk factors leading to deaths. KCKPS is located in Wyandotte County, an area that school district and community representatives say is still dealing with the effects of historic inequities and trauma, such as redlining. Hutton thinks there would be more of a public outcry if a spate of youth deaths happened elsewhere. “If this happened anywhere else, if this happened in some of our other cities … people would be mad that our babies are dying,” Hutton said. Enough is Enough is an effort to inform the public of what is happening and “motivate the community to come together to make sure that our students have a successful future or even have a future,” she said. The causes of youth deaths The most recent statistics available, from 2019, show Wyandotte has the highest homicide rate of any county in Kansas, said Hannah Conner. Conner is the violence prevention epidemiologist at the Unified Government Public Health Department. 2019 statistics also show homicide as the most common cause of death for youth in Wyandotte County, Conner said. While data on other causes of death in 2020 is

not available, police data provided to the Health Department shows a spike in youth homicides that year, Conner said. The department includes ages 1-24 in the definition of youth because the 18-24 age range is “a very vulnerable age group for violence,” she said. Homicide isn’t the only threat to students’ lives. In the 2019-20 school year, three students died by suicide, two drowned in unrelated incidents a week apart from each other and others died from natural causes, Hutton said. Enough is Enough resources also highlight drug and alcohol abuse as a danger. The number of deaths in the 2020-21 school year — during which students were largely in remote learning — was not as high. But at a June 8 school board meeting, Board President Randy Lopez opened the meeting with a moment of silence for a student who had just been killed. “We can’t have one more student death, especially to gun violence, in our community,” he said. “It hurts all of us when we lose one student. … I’m just pleading with everyone watching, listening, please, let’s work together. We can’t keep doing this to our community. We have to love each other.” In an interview with The Kansas City Beacon in late July, Lopez said the district is working with many community partners and would like to continue expanding its efforts. He’s interested in hiring staff dedicated only to Enough is Enough but is also open to having another group spearhead the initiative while the district takes a supporting role. “I know we can’t be the only driving force around this,” he said. But for now, Lopez said, KCKPS is enthusiastic about taking the lead for as long as it needs to. “I think it’s necessary for us to do this right now,” he said. “It’s not normal for a community to have 20-plus student deaths, many due to gun violence. That should never be an accepted thing.”

Messi se muda a París El temor de todo fanático del Barcelona se hizo realidad. Lionel Messi dejó de ser jugador blaugrana y firmó por el PSG francés. Todo hacía suponer que el argentino renovaría con el Barcelona, pero, a pesar de reducir su sueldo en un 50%, el club no lo pudo inscribir debido al elevado costo de la plantilla. De esa manera Messi se unió al equipo parisino al inicio de semana donde se reunirá con su amigo Neymar. El PSG pinta a ser un equipo a temer, aparte de Messi, Les Parisiens se han hecho este verano con Sergio Ramos, Georginio Wijnaldum, Gianluigi Donnarumma y Achraf Hakimi, sumando a las estrellas que ya tenían antes como Neymar, Mbappé, Marquinhos, Mauro Icardi y Ángel Di María, entre otros. León destruyó al Sporting Sporting Kansas City salió a jugarle a León en los cuartos de final de la Leagues Cup con un equipo alterno y lo pagó caro.

El equipo de Peter Vermes fue superado fácilmente desde el inicio del partido y terminó encajando 6 goles. Lo positivo del partido para el Sporting es la experiencia internacional y los minutos que han sumado varios de los juveniles del equipo. Por otro lado, los Tigres de la UANL cayeron goleados por el Seattle Sounders en un partido donde el protagonista fue Miguel Herrera, quien dijo que el árbitro, que es panameño, “siempre tiene algo contra los mexicanos”. Los Chiefs regresan a las canchas Los Kansas City Chiefs inician la pretemporada este sábado en el Levi’s Stadium de California ante los San Francisco 49ers. Andy Reid ha mencionado que empezará con el equipo habitual para luego darle paso a los suplentes y jóvenes, a quienes quiere evaluar y ver como llegan a la temporada. El coordinador defensivo Steve Spagnuolo ha dicho que quiere que los jóvenes pierdan el miedo y lleguen

a la temporada regular en buenas condiciones para poder usarlos en cualquier momento. La buena noticia del día es que Darrel Williams se reincorporó a los entrenamientos luego de haber estado fuera por una lesión en la rodilla. Dončić hace historia en la NBA Luka Dončić extendió su contrato con los Dallas Mavericks de la NBA por cinco años y 207 millones de dólares. La mayor que se da en una extension de contrato de un novato en la historia de la NBA. Dončić, quien quedó en cuarto lugar con Eslovenia en los Juegos Olímpicos de Tokyo 2020, tendrá la opción del último año, que, si no llegara a un acuerdo con Dallas, podría entrar a la agencia libre antes del mercado. Luka es uno de los jugadores jóvenes más prometedores en la NBA, ha sido votado dos veces al equipo All-NBA y fue Novato del Año en el 2018-19.
