a enfermedad de Alzheimer puede ocurrirle a cualquiera, pero los hispanos y los afroamericanos corren un mayor riesgo de desarrollarla, de acuerdo a Kelly G. Loeb, trabajadora social y miembro de la Junta de Liderazgo Comunitario de la Asociación de Alzheimer-Heart of America Chapter. “Esos grupos tienen mayores riesgos de tener otros diagnósticos como diabetes y presión arterial alta, que son factores de riesgo para la enfermedad de Alzheimer”, dijo Loeb. “Por eso es tan importante correr la voz, particularmente entre la comunidad hispana, sobre qué buscar, qué saber y qué tipo de preguntas hacer”. Loeb y otros están haciendo un gran esfuerzo concertado para “correr la voz” en junio, también conocido como el Mes de la Concienciación sobre el Alzheimer y el Cerebro.

Loeb, a social worker and member of the Community Leadership Board of the Alzheimer’s Association-Heart of America Chapter. “Those groups have higher risks of having other diagnoses like diabetes and high blood pressure, which are risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease,” Loeb said. “So that’s why it’s so important to get the word out, particularly to the Hispanic community, about what to look for, what to know and what kinds

Maestro del Año está programado para el 17 de octubre, según la información de DESE. González, quien tiene 2 titulos en educación regular y educación especial de la Universidad de Avila en Kansas City, Missouri, trabaja con niños con varios tipos de discapacidades, que incluyen problemas de lenguaje y discapacidades intelectuales. Missouri tiene 13 categorías de discapacidades y ella trabaja con un poco de todo. Como maestra de recursos, González apoya a dos o tres niños de cada año a partir de jardín de infantes hasta quinto grado. Mientras los niños son parte de un salón de educación general, ella los saca para regulaciones en matemáticas, lectura, escritura o habilidades sociales y comportamiento. A través de sus deberes, González siente que está “trabajando con los padres para criar a sus hijos”, dijo. “Es como un 50/50”, expreso González. “Los tengo durante el día, y ellos los tienen en la noche y los fines de semana. Estamos ayudando a enseñarles educación, pero también los valores de la vida y ser buenas personas en la sociedad”. Ser una mujer latina en la educación es importante para González. Mientras crecía, e incluso cuando comenzó a trabajar en el distrito, no se encontró con muchos maestros hispanos, recordó. Por lo tanto, cree que debe haber más personas que hablen español o sepan otros idiomas en la educación. “Vivimos en un país al que viene mucha gente, y ayudar a los niños a sentirse cómodos es un gran problema”, dijo González. “Llegar a la escuela y no entender lo que está pasando da miedo. Siento que es muy importante que haya alguien más que pueda ayudar. Si crees que quieres entrar en el campo de la educación, definitivamente hazlo. Los niños necesitan verlo, incluso si no es en ámbito educativo. Sólo necesitan ver que otras personas como ellos triunfen”. González no sólo dedica su vida a la docencia, sino también a prepararse para adquirir nuevos conocimientos, dijo. Ella también se dedica a su familia. Le gusta pasar tiempo con su familia y sus dos pastores alemanes, Athena y Stella.

will be chosen between June 15 and July 15, with the 2023 Missouri State Teacher of the Year chosen during August and September. A Teacher of the Year banquet is scheduled for Oct. 17, DESE information states. Gonzalez – who holds a dual degree in regular education and special education from Avila University in Kansas City, Missouri – works with kids with various types of disabilities, including language impairment and intellectual disabilities. Missouri has 13 categories of disabilities and she works with a little bit of everything, she said. Serving as a resource teacher, Gonzalez supports two to three kids from kindergarten through the fifth grade. While the children are part of their general education classrooms, she pulls them out for their services in math, reading, writing or social skills and behavior. Through her duties, Gonzalez feels as though she is “working with parents to raise their kids,” she said. “It’s like 50/50,” Gonzalez said. “I have them during the day, and they have them at night and on weekends. We are helping in teaching them about education, but also the values of life and being good people in society.” Being a Latin woman in education is important to Gonzalez. Growing up, and even when she started working in the district, she did not encounter many Hispanic teachers, she recalled. Therefore, she believes there needs to be more people that speak Spanish or know other languages in education. “We live in a country that many people come to, and helping kids feel comfortable is a huge deal,” Gonzalez said. “Coming to school and not understanding what’s going on is scary. I feel it’s very important that there is someone else that can help. If you think that you want to get into the education field, definitely do it. Children need to see you, even if it’s not in an education program. They just need to see other people (like them) succeed.” Gonzalez not only dedicates her life to teaching, but also to preparing herself to acquire new knowledge, she said. She dedicates herself to her family, too. She enjoys spending time with her family and her two German shepherds, Athena and Stella, she said.

educando a las personas en el sentido de que, aunque la enfermedad de Alzheimer es más común entre las personas mayores, las personas más jóvenes también pueden comenzar a ver los primeros signos. “La primera señal de advertencia suele ser la pérdida de memoria a corto plazo”, dijo Loeb. “Entonces, las personas comienzan con la enfermedad de Alzheimer teniendo más dificultades para recordar cosas que sucedieron recientemente (los últimos minutos, horas, días, semanas), pero por lo general son bastante (bien) capaces de recordar cosas de hace mucho tiempo como... recuerdos de la infancia”. Loeb y otros también están enfatizando la importancia del diagnóstico temprano. “Un buen diagnóstico de la enfermedad de Alzheimer incluirá observar muchas cosas, incluidas imágenes del cerebro, como una resonancia magnética o una tomografía computarizada”, dijo. “El médico observará lo que podría estar sucediendo en términos de sangre y otras cosas metabólicas”. Loeb aconseja a cualquier persona con familiares con Alzheimer que busque ayuda y el apoyo adecuado. “Hay muchas personas a las que puede pedir ayuda: su médico, sus otros familiares y amigos”, dijo. “La Asociación de Alzheimer, por supuesto, tiene una línea de apoyo disponible las 24 horas en muchos idiomas a la que puede llamar y decir: ‘Estoy preocupado por esta persona que amo. No entiendo lo que está pasando. Tengo miedo. No tengo suficiente dinero, todo tipo de cosas’. Puede pedir ayuda. Pero el mejor consejo que puedo darle es que no intente hacer esto solo”.

of questions to ask.” Loeb and others are making a concerted effort “to get the word out” in June, also dubbed Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month. As part of their efforts to increase awareness about Alzheimer’s, they are educating people that, although Alzheimer’s is more common among older people, younger people can start seeing early signs of it, too. “The first warning sign is usually shortterm memory loss,” Loeb said. “So people start off with Alzheimer’s disease (by) having a harder time remembering things that happened recently – the last few minutes, hours, days, weeks – but they are usually pretty (well) able to remember things from a long time ago, like … childhood.” Loeb and others also are stressing the importance of early diagnosis. “A good diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease will include looking at lots of things, including images of the brain, like an MRI or a CAT scan,” she said. “The diagnostician will look at what might be happening in terms of blood and other metabolic things.” Loeb advises anyone with family members with Alzheimer’s to seek help and the right support. “There are lots of people that you can ask for help – your doctor, your other family and friends,” she said. “The Alzheimer’s Association, of course, has a 24-hour support line available in many languages that you can call and say, ‘I’m concerned about this person I love. I don’t understand what’s happening. I’m scared. I don’t have enough money, all kinds of things.’ You can ask for help. But the best advice I can give is, don’t try to do this alone.” For more information about Alzheimer’s disease, call 1-(800)-272-3900 or visit alz.org.

City (KCATA, por sus siglas en inglés), que administra el servicio de autobús del condado de Johnson, Kansas, hasta el 31 de julio de este año, se adapta notablemente a los tiempos. A fines del mes pasado, la agencia de transporte público anunció la extensión del servicio del condado de Johnson (conocido como JoCo) y nuevas rutas. Con los precios de la gasolina provocando máximos históricos y aún subiendo, los conductores están reduciendo las millas recorridas, consolidando viajes y considerando modos de transporte alternativos. Además, los comisionados del condado de Johnson aprobaron la semana pasada un préstamo de $1 millón para viviendas asequibles en Shawnee, uno de los 16 municipios de JoCo. Muchos trabajadores de bajos ingresos dependen del transporte público. Claramente, expandir los servicios de autobús ahora es oportuno.

Más del 72 por ciento de los más de 600,000 residentes del condado mayores de 16 años forman parte del mercado laboral. Muchos de ellos viajan diariamente a trabajos en áreas metropolitanas vecinas. Por el contrario, el condado de Johnson cuenta con varias sedes de empresas. Contiene seis distritos escolares, ocho campus universitarios, 20 hospitales, tres aeropuertos, ocho cámaras de comercio, varios distritos comerciales y decenas de empresas que representan diversas industrias. Todos atraen a trabajadores de las comunidades del área en ambos lados de la línea estatal. La KCATA ofrece rutas biestatales entre condados con horarios en expansión que los funcionarios esperan que “hagan que los autobuses sean más accesibles para todo tipo de horarios de trabajo”. Alrededor del 15 por ciento de los residentes del condado de Johnson tienen 65 años o más. Pueden aprovechar las tarifas reducidas a través de las Tarjetas de Tarifas Reducidas para Ciudadanos Mayores de KCATA, que están disponibles para el servicio local, así como para viajes de cercanías. Al igual que la mayoría de los estadounidenses, las personas mayores sienten una presión financiera. Para muchos, el aumento del costo de los alimentos, la gasolina, los medicamentos recetados, las primas de seguros y los impuestos sobre la propiedad está creando verdaderas dificultades. Tomar el autobús y dejar el auto en el garaje, siempre que sea posible, es una forma de ahorrar dinero. El rediseño de las rutas y el servicio de autobuses lo hace más factible. Los aspectos destacados del servicio ampliado de JoCo y las nuevas rutas incluyen un servicio limitado de siete días en horarios regulares y de micro tránsito; una nueva ruta 487 que une el centro de Overland Park con Center City Lenexa; paradas adicionales en las rutas existentes; nuevas paradas al mediodía en rutas seleccionadas; área de operación ampliada del servicio de microtránsito; y servicio de paratránsito complementario agregado a las rutas fijas. La inflación ha hecho girar la rueda de la fortuna. La expansión del transporte público de JoCo es una iniciativa que ya hacía falta. Nota bene: Para ver mapas y horarios de transporte público en el condado de Johnson, tarifas y pases, y una guía para pasajeros en línea, visite https://www. jocogov.org/department/transit-ridekc-johnsoncounty. Los comisionados del condado de Johnson votaron el 28 de abril para devolver la gestión diaria del tránsito del condado de Johnson de la KCATA al condado de Johnson a partir del 1 de agosto. Seguirá siendo parte del sistema RideKC y continuará colaborando con KCATA para iniciativas de tránsito regional, solicitudes de subvenciones y esfuerzos de coordinación.

bus service through July 31 of this year, is markedly well-suited to the times. Late last month, the public transit agency announced extended Johnson County service and new routes. With gas prices teasing record highs and still rising, drivers are curtailing miles driven, consolidating trips and considering alternative modes of transportation. Moreover, Johnson County Commissioners last week approved a $1 million loan for affordable housing apartments in Shawnee, one of 16 JoCo municipalities. Many low-income workers depend on public transit. Clearly, expanding bus services now is well-timed. More than 72 percent of the county’s 600,000-plus residents age 16 and older are part of the labor market. Many of

them commute to jobs in neighboring metro areas. Conversely, Johnson County boasts several company headquarters. It contains six school districts, eight college and university campuses, 20 hospitals, three airports, eight chambers of commerce, several shopping districts and scores of businesses representing various industries. All attract workers from area communities on both sides of the state line. The KCATA offers bi-state, inter-county routes with expanding schedules that officials hope “should make buses more accessible to all kinds of work schedules.” Some 15 percent of Johnson County residents are 65 and older. They can take advantage of reduced fares through the KCATA’s Senior Citizen Reduced Farecards, which are available for local service as well as commuter trips. Like most Americans, seniors are feeling financial strain. For many, the rising cost of food, gas, prescription drugs, insurance premiums and property taxes is creating genuine hardship. Taking the bus and leaving the car in the garage, whenever possible is one way to save money. The redesign of bus routes and service makes that more feasible. Highlights of JoCo’s expanded service and new routes include limited seven-day service on both regular and micro transit schedules; a brand new Route 487 linking downtown Overland Park to Center City Lenexa; additional stops on existing routes; new mid-day stops on select routes; expanded micro transit service area of operation; and complementary para transit service added to fixed routes. Inflation has turned the wheel of fortune. JoCo’s public transit expansion is an initiative whose time has come. Nota bene: To see Johnson County public transit maps and schedules, fares and passes, and a rider guide online, go to https://www. jocogov.org/department/transit-ridekcjohnson-county. Johnson County Commissioners voted April 28 to return day-to-day management of Johnson County Transit from the KCATA back to Johnson County effective Aug.1. It will remain part of the RideKC system and continue to collaborate with KCATA for regional transit initiatives, grant requests and coordination efforts.

¿Cómo mantenerse saludable en verano? Commentary by Tere Siqueira By Oscar Soberanes Benítez

Celebrating our diversity Celebrando nuestra diversidad

Esto incluye celebrar los avances en el reconocimiento y los espacios de reivindicación de la comunidad durante los últimos años. También es un momento para

identificar las asignaturas pendientes y el trabajo que queda por hacer en favor del bienestar de las personas LGBTQ+ en México, Estados Unidos y en el mundo. México cuenta con un marco jurídico que prohíbe la discriminación motivada por la orientación sexual y la identidad de género, e implementa políticas para reconocer y fortalecer a la comunidad LGBTQ+ en el exterior. Entendemos que nuestro país y nuestra sociedad está formada por personas con perfiles muy diversos, en sus idiomas, cultura, tradiciones, así como en su orientación sexual e identidad de género. Nuestras diferencias nos complementan, reconocerlas fortalece nuestra comunidad. En el marco del mes del orgullo, el gobierno de México a través del Instituto de los Mexicanos en el Exterior, celebrará el Segundo Encuentro de Comunidades Mexicanas LGBTQ+, los días 13 y 14 de junio, en Miami. Durante este evento se reunirán artistas, servidores públicos y líderes comunitarios para discutir sobre políticas públicas, acciones comunitarias y entablar un diálogo con los participantes para fortalecer a la comunidad mexicana LGBTQ+ en Estados Unidos. La comunidad mexicana en Kansas, Missouri y Oklahoma puede seguir este evento a través de las redes sociales del Consulado de México en Kansas City (@ConsulMexKan en Facebook, Twitter, Instagram y YouTube), así como el del Instituto de los Mexicanos en el Exterior. Es preciso destacar que las instalaciones del Consulado son consideradas Zona Segura, en el que ningún ciudadano mexicano es discriminado por su origen, clase social u orientación sexual. Contamos con servicios y programas enfocados a la comunidad LGBTQ+. En febrero de este año, se comenzaron a expedir actas de nacimiento por identidad de género, que permite a los connacionales Trans tener un documento con el género y nombre que corresponde a su identidad. Igualmente, durante el mes de julio, la nueva matrícula consular permitirá dejar vacío el campo de género. Nuestro compromiso es “no dejar a nadie atrás, no dejar a nadie afuera”.

identify the pending issues and the work that remains to be done in favor of the well-being of LGBTQ+ people in Mexico, the United States and the world. Mexico has a legal framework that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity which also implements policies to recognize and strengthen the LGBTQ+ community abroad. We understand that our country and our society is made up of people with very diverse profiles, in their languages, culture, traditions, as well as in their sexual orientation and gender identity. Our differences complement us, recognizing them strengthens our community. Within the framework of Pride Month, the Mexican government, through the Institute of Mexicans Abroad, will celebrate the Second Meeting of LGBTQ+ Mexican Communities on June 13 and 14, in Miami. During this event, artists, public officials, and community leaders will meet to discuss public policies, community actions, and engage in dialogue with participants to strengthen the Mexican LGBTQ+ community in the United States. The Mexican community in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma can follow this event through the Consulate of Mexico in Kansas City’s social media (@ConsulMexKan on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube), as well as the “Instituto de los Mexicanos en el Exterior”. It should be noted that the facilities of the Consulate are considered a Safe Zone, in which no Mexican citizen is discriminated against due to their origin, social class or sexual orientation. We have services and programs focused on the LGBTQ+ community. In February of this year, we started issuing birth certificates by gender, which allow Trans nationals to have a document with the gender and name that corresponds to their identity. Likewise, during the month of July, the new Consular l.D. will allow the gender field to be left empty. Our commitment is to “leave no one behind, leave no one out”.

ara millones de familias, las vacaciones de verano conllevan un cambio de hábitos. Desafortunadamente, para millones de familias, eso significa cambiar sus hábitos relacionados con la salud. Pero las vacaciones no deben ser una excusa para abandonar hábitos saludables. Los siguientes consejos te ayudarán a mantenerte saludable durante el verano: * Mantén tu dieta durante todo el verano: Durante el verano, las personas a menudo se vuelven más permisivas con su comida. Por eso, ahora más que nunca, es fundamental seguir una dieta equilibrada. *Mantén tus alimentos refrigerados: Las intoxicaciones alimenticias son más comunes en verano porque las personas consumen más alimentos crudos y las altas temperaturas favorecen la proliferación de bacterias. Para reducir el riesgo de intoxicación alimenticia, no deje alimentos como la leche, la carne de res o el pescado a temperatura ambiente. *Mantente hidratado: Con la llegada del calor de verano, todos debemos estar más atentos a nuestro consumo de agua, ya que es un componente importante de nuestro organismo. Además, muchas facetas del verano pueden provocar deshidratación, como las prácticas deportivas rigurosas, la temperatura, la humedad, incluso el tipo de ropa. Tener siempre agua a mano es un aliado para combatir la deshidratación. Además, consuma muchas frutas y verduras, que se componen principalmente de agua y pueden ayudar con la hidratación, sin mencionar los beneficios en la nutrición. *Protege tu piel del sol: La exposición al sol es buena, siempre que se sigan unas normas básicas. Si estas no se siguen, el sol podría causar daño a los ojos y también puede causar quemaduras solares que pueden aumentar las posibilidades de que una persona desarrolle cáncer de piel. Para reducir sus posibilidades de sufrir daños en los ojos y/o cáncer de piel, evite la exposición al sol al mediodía. Además, utilice protector solar para todas las salidas diurnas, especialmente protector solar con un factor de protección solar alto, en la cara y el cuerpo. Aplique protector solar unos 30 minutos antes de salir al aire libre y vuelva a aplicarlo con frecuencia. *Protéjase de las picaduras y mordeduras de insectos: Evite usar ropa de colores llamativos y perfumes al aire libre. Use lociones repelentes. Las personas altamente alérgicas deben tener especial cuidado en caso de ser picadas por avispas o abejas y recordar que existen vacunas disponibles para picaduras y mordeduras de insectos, en caso de ser necesario. Una crema con antihistamínicos en el botiquín de casa es fundamental para tratar las picaduras o picaduras de insectos. *Manténgase activo: Este es el mejor momento para andar en bicicleta, nadar, caminar o jugar al aire libre. Cuanto más juegues este verano, más calorías quemará tu cuerpo y desarrollará músculo. Encuentra algo que disfrutes y hazlo un par de veces a la semana.

or millions of families, summer vacations mean a change of habits. F Unfortunately, for millions of families, that

means changing their health-related habits. Vacations should not provide an excuse to abandon healthy habits. The following tips will help you stay healthier during the summer:

*Stick to your diet all summer long: During the summer, people often become more permissive with their food. Thus, now more than ever, it is essential to follow a balanced diet. *Keep your food refrigerated: Food poisoning is more common in summer because people consume more raw food and high temperatures favor the proliferation of germs. To reduce the risk of food poisoning, do not leave foods such as milk, beef or fish at room temperature. *Stay hydrated: With the arrival of summer heat, we all must be more attentive to our water intake, as it is a significant component of our body. In addition, many facets of summertime can lead to dehydration, such rigorous sports practices, the temperature, the humidity, even types of clothing. Always having water on hand is an ally in fighting dehydration. Additionally, consume plenty of fruits and vegetables, which are mainly composed of water and can help with hydration, not to mention nourishment. *Protect your skin from the sun: Exposure to the sun is beneficial, provided basic rules are followed. If they are not, the sun can cause eye damage. It also can cause sunburns that can increase a person’s chances of developing skin cancer. To reduce your chances of suffering eye damage and/or skin cancer, avoid midday exposure to the sun. In addition, use sunscreen for all daytime outings, particularly sunscreen with a high sun protection factor, on the face and body. Apply sunscreen about 30 minutes before going outdoors and reapply it frequently. *Protect yourself from insect stings and bites: Avoid wearing brightly colored clothes and perfumes outdoors. Use repellent lotions. Highly allergic people should take special care in case of being stung by wasps or bees and remember there are vaccines available for insect stings and bites, if necessary. A cream with antihistamines in your home medicine cabinet is essential for treating insect bites or stings. *Stay active: This is the best time to bike, swim, hike or play games outside. The more you play this summer, the more calories your body will burn and build muscle. Find something you enjoy and do it a few times a week.

ve distinta, en un buen sentido. En 2020 y 2021, las ceremonias de graduación no ocurrieron como las conocíamos debido a la pandemia de COVID. Este año, sin embargo, se ven como antes de la pandemia. Parecían normales. Para los estudiantes que se graduaron en mayo de los niveles académicos de preparatoria y universidad, la temporada de graduación con una apariencia normal debió de ser un alivio. En este momento podían estar emocionados de haber completado una importante etapa en sus vidas, con la visión de una educación adicional en la universidad -o tal vez la visión de una emocionante vida profesional que se acerca- sin que carguen con el peso de la pandemia. La floreciente temporada de graduación, a su vez, nos ha permitido a todos en el área de Kansas City ver que otras formas de vida están tomando su rumbo hacia la normalidad, llevándonos a probar el mundo libre de pandemias que todos anhelamos. Dos Mundos se une a la celebración de la clase del 2022 del área. En este periódico entendemos que las ceremonias de graduación permiten que las familias y los amigos se reúnan y celebren los logros. También entendemos que la graduación significa que uno ha realizado el trabajo necesario para pasar a la siguiente fase de la vida. Felicitaciones, graduados, por lo que han logrado y enhorabuena por llegar a disfrutar de esos logros con normalidad.

tion season this year looked different – in a good way. In 2020 and 2021, graduation ceremonies were unordinary because of the COVID pandemic. This year, however, they looked like they had before the pandemic. They looked normal. For the students who graduated in May Jacqueline G. Ramirez and Jasmin Ramirez, from area high schools and colleges, a normal- graduates of Turner High School. looking graduation season had to be a relief. They could be excited at having completed a milestone in their lives, with the prospect of additional schooling in college looming – or maybe the prospect of an exciting professional life looming – without the baggage of the pandemic looming over them, too. The booming graduation season, in turn, has let all of us in the Kansas City area see that other forms of life are taking their course toward normalcy, leading us to savor the pandemic-free world we all long for. Dos Mundos joins in celebrating with area members of the class of 2022. We at this newspaper understand that graduation ceremonies allow families and friends to come together and celebrate accomplishments. We also understand that graduation means one has put in the necessary work to move on to the next phase of life. Congratulations, graduates, on what you have achieved. And congratulations on getting to enjoy those achievements in a normal way.
