Spend a Day or More

at Lorain’s Lakeview Park

S

When you think blue skies, sandy beaches, cooling breezes, beautiful colors, and gorgeous landscaping what might come to mind may be Florida, Puerto Rico, Caribbean Islands, or Myrtle Beach. Do Lorain, Ohio and Lakeview Beach come to mind? If not, let me share with you one of the best kept secrets in Ohio.

When Lorain County Metro Parks took over the City of Lorain’s Lakeview Beach

| LATINOS julio

and Park, they transformed it into a mustsee site. It has truly become a family destination for those in Ohio and beyond who are looking for fun in the sun and natural beauty along the waterfront.

Begin with dining at the Rose Café, where you may think you were at a resort as you dine on the balcony and enjoy gorgeous views of the lake and one of the famous lighthouses along the Great Lakes.

The lunch menu at Rose Café is not too heavy and is just right for summertime.

The brunch on Sundays has become very popular because the atmosphere has a nautical feel and the food is outstanding.

Be sure to bring your camera as you tour the historic Rose Garden. Families who wish to memorialize loved ones can sponsor roses. This unique Rose Garden was originally dedicated on May 30, 1932

www.latinosmagazineonline.com |

and sponsored by 17 community organizations, including the Lorain Rotary Club.

The shape of the garden, a wheel with eight spokes, is the International Rotary emblem. Approximately 2,500 roses are planted in 48 beds with connecting walkways, completing the Rotary wheel and spokes.

Another unique feature at Lakeview Park is the water fountain. By day, it is an impressive, entertaining display of waterworks, but at night, the fountain’s strikingly beautiful colored lights attract a crowd every evening. You will want to see it yourself to believe it. Walking toward the fountain one can admire the beautiful landscaping and flowers that not only lead you to the Rose Garden but also will lead you to a giant Easter basket.

David Shukait, a local artist, donated the giant Easter basket in 1941. Shukait created the Easter basket for the park director’s son who wanted an Easter basket in the park. This basket was made famous

by Tony Morrison in her award winning books about her growing up in Lorain and visiting the basket, just as many families have done from generation to generation.

Many families continue to take pictures in front of this basket during the Easter season.

During the summer, Lakeview Park is busy from early morning into the evening.

There are exercise programs from walking | LATINOS julio

to yoga to Zumba; craft and nature programs for pre-school children; beach volleyball and tournaments for teens and adults; and evening concerts for everyone. Of course, there is the beach and the lake for getting some sun and swimming. The bathhouse is located on the lower level of the Rose Café on the beach next to a snack bar with cool drinks and ice cream.

On the west side of the park, there are a number of pavilions, a gazebo and just a few steps from the lake is an overlook platform so you can enjoy views high above the lake and beach. Lakeview Park has been a favorite picnic area for the community of Lorain for nearly 90 years.

The park provides a venue for many activities sponsored by different groups, including the annual Lorain County Latino Festival held each year in September during Hispanic Heritage Month. The MetroParks website provides a good list of programs and activities held at Lakeview Park.

Since Lakeview Park’s opening, it has been a family tradition to come picnic, swim, cookout, and play. We hope that you will take the time to also make this a tradition with your family.

society.

Communities develop as networks of families, extended families and organizations to serve the people and celebrate and preserve their culture.

In Cleveland, those networks have come together annually for 42 years to honor the Puerto Rican culture and com-

memorate the migration from the island to Northeast Ohio at the Puerto Rican Parade and Latino Festival.

Usually held in July, the three-day festival features music, food from everywhere, dance, art and the Mr. and Miss Puerto Rico Image Pageant. It has grown so the 60,000 people who attend participate in a

true Latino event that recognizes the variety of cultures that make Cleveland’s Hispanic community vibrant and vital and reflects the cultural lifestyles of this remarkable community.

The crowning of Mr. and Miss Puerto Rico Image is a highlight every year, as the winners represent their community

throughout the Festival and beyond. It has been sponsored by Julia de Burgos Cultural Arts Center. Contestants are judged on several points, but poise and communication skills are important Music transcends the generations and is always present as performers from the local, regional, and national scene perform

live on stage. Between live sets, there is a DJ to keep the beat flowing with salsa, meringue, reggaeton and traditional folkloric music. Scheduled for the main stage this year are: Dancing has traditionally included salsa, folkloric groups like Grupo Isla del Encanto, and the Julia de Burgos Caribbean

Ballet. However, it is normal to see the audience dancing to the music anywhere on the grounds when the rhythm becomes too much to pass up and their dance style is on display Children have many opportunities to burn off energy as they go from scaling a cliff to bouncing to their heart’s content to

the next activity, and they can dance too.

To keep them and their families nourished and refreshed, there are kiosks with traditional Caribbean cuisine, traditional carnival treats like elephant ears, and cold beverages.

Sunday is the day of the Parade. It is a tradition that the Cleveland Puerto Rican

community honors a mayor of one of the cities or towns from which members of the local community come.

Not only is the Parade a reflection of the pride the community feels toward its Puerto Rican heritage, it also symbolizes the movement of Puerto Ricans from the island to the U.S. and to the Cleveland

area. Its growth in terms of the floats and marchers demonstrates also the emergence of the Latino community in the business, social, civic and political fabric of Cleveland.

The second week of August marks the celebration of the Puerto Rican Home’s Annual Boricua Festival.

The Festival is usually a three-day event starting on a Friday afternoon or evening and ending Sunday evening. A major activity is the Pageant to select the year’s young Queen and King, who will not only preside at the Festival, but also help lead the Puerto Rican Parade. These two young people represent the Club and, therefore, the community at not only Club events, but also events throughout the Greater Lorain area, including the Lorain International Festival.

The Festival includes musicians and DJ’s, folkloric or traditional dancing, salsa, meringue, and booths sponsored by local companies and organizations and, of course, food, prepared by members of Puero Rican Home.

El Hogar Puertorriqueño has been a focal point 14 | LATINOS julio

for the community and a strength for over 50 years and the members and officers of the Club are clearly proud of the Club and their heritage. The invite everyone to join the fun.

The annual Latino Fest: Hispanic Heritage Month celebration will take place in September at Lakeview Park in Lorain, Ohio. With Lake Erie as a backdrop for this very musical Latino Fest, it is a perfect day for dancing, enjoying the park, meeting friends, and eating great food. The lines at the Mexican Mutual Club and Puerto Rican Home Club booths often extend to 10 deep all afternoon.

The entertainment features local, Northeast Ohio Latino groups who provide a fantastic mix of Mexican, Puerto Rican and Latin Jazz music and dance.

Along with the music and dancing, there is a display Hispanic art. Many local artists are represented in a display of original art, prints and photographs of Latino culture and life.

The Latino Fest is a fun time for family members of all ages and all cultures to eat, dance, and take a walk

in the park and along the beach. It is the type of event that one could come early and stay late, or stroll through, sit and relax a while and move on.

The summer festivals are great historical traditions that have united

Clevelanders, Lorainites and Northeast Ohioans for decades. The festivities serve to highlight and immerse everyone in rich tropical music, foods, folklore, and splendor – and just a good Latino time.

t’s summer and you’re done with high school.

You graduated, went to the grad parties, and now you’re working and have to get ready for college. Ok. What do you do? What you do need?

For your dorm room or your car? Can you even take your car? What about a laptop? What’s a good laptop? You are an adult now you can’t keep expecting your parents to know everything you need. College, like the rest of the world, is an ever-changing environment. We talked again to some current students, and they shared what they thought were important issues for you to keep in mind. We asked them, “What do you do? What do you need? What do you do when you get there?”

First things first. What does the college you are going to allow? Every university has a list of things you can and cannot bring with you. Things like hotplates, candles, pretty much things that cause fires or are hazardous are not generally allowed. Some colleges do not allow cars on campus so that a student can get used to living in the immediate campus area. (They don’t have space for everyone to park.)

Upperclassmen are often permitted to have cars, but they have to register them with the school and have parking permits. This also affects the trip to the school, packing, and any trips back home for the weekend and breaks – whatever vehicle brings you and your stuff to school will be returning home. You and your family should plan accordingly.

You have or will sign a residence agreement with the college. In the agreement, or in a separate handbook for residence halls, the school will list what is not allowed as well as what is expected behavior

www.latinosmagazineonline.com | 19

from residents – quiet times, respect for others, keeping rooms and common areas clean and so on. If you did not save a copy of your agreement or do not have a handbook, call your college for a copy or go online. Kent Sate University, for example, has the agreement and handbook on-line for you and your parents’ reference.

Now that you have checked the list of do’s and don’ts, its time to start grabbing stuff for school. There are many sites that can help with things that may be needed for your dorm room as well as one that the college will send you. They will also give you tips that will help smooth the process (don’t dismiss these, they can actually help). Get a hold of your roommate to figure out who is bringing what i.e. TV, mini fridge. Once the biggies are set you can get going with everything else. The essentials, sheets, towels, posters, will fall into place.

Most schools, like John Carroll University, have room dimensions for each dorm on-line. John Carroll even reminds you that their beds are extra-long twin beds, so your normal sized twin sheets will not fit. Don’t forget that college closets are notoriously small, so don’t over pack; you might not have space for all the clothes you want to bring. They have a linen service so you can order sets of sheets that will be delivered before you move in. Many stores have special college offerings. For example, you might want to check out Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond – both the stores and the websites. Some schools have special arrangements with stores to help you select and even ship some the things you purchase.

What happens when you get there?

You have unpacked your stuff; you’ve met your roommate (if you didn’t know her already), and did all the orientation things. Now you’re officially here. What do you do? Get a college map and mark where your classes are and see how far away they are from your dorm, because some freshman dorms are not positioned well for certain things – like classroom buildings. Also ID important buildings like the university center, library, dean’s office, bookstore (school’s and used), and financial aid. Also get a lay of the land off campus. Stores, restaurants, gas stations, entertainment spots, as well as off campus 20 | LATINOS julio

housing for later years.

Take your map and go for a walk so you can actually see the buildings and know how far you are from each. For example, before classes start, walk your Monday class route, then walk your Tuesday route and note where the bookstore, library and student center are. Your school might have its own transit system, so you should get a copy of the routes and schedules and try those if you have a longer distance to travel.

Another part of actually “getting it” in college is budgeting, both time and money, successfully. The stereotype is true college kids are broke. If you get a job on campus, this will seriously help with the money portion. You will still need to budget yourself or you will just wasting the other part, time needed for study and recreation, by working. Most experts say the working while attending college full time

should be limited to around 10 - 15 hours per week. Set aside study times so that you can get schoolwork done. The school year goes by quickly, and before you know it, mid-terms and even finals are upon you.

Keeping up with studying, the real reason you are there, is the critical thing.

Here’s a guideline to what freshman can expect throughout their college years: Each unit of credit requires 2 to 3 hours of outside classwork per week. So, a student carrying 15 credit hours should plan to spend 30 to 45 hours each week studying beyond the classroom.

If you tally study time and class time, a typical student invests from 45 to 60 hours in academic work each week. Add a parttime job to that load (not to mention any hint of a social life), and you see a theme: time management. That’s why a dayplanner is included in the list below.

One of our students actually found it

easier to get help in college than she did in high school. She made it a priority to find her professors to help clarify or explain different points made in class – graduate students who work with professors are also a good resource. “The main thing for me has been to get the help early. I was a procrastinator in high school. In college, the earlier I got help the better off I was.”

Colleges may have different sources for

help, in addition to the professor. Many have writing labs, reading labs, or study skills support. Our student said, “Once I found these, I actually worked on papers sooner so I could have someone else look them over and work with me on second or third drafts. In high school, I didn’t really make time for drafts; I just wrote. After working with the writing lab on a few papers, my first drafts were so much better, I

actually finished papers sooner – and there have been a lot of papers.”

So it’s summer and you’re done with high school and the real world is waiting for you. Don’t wait. Get your stuff and get it on. Don’t let college eat you up. Keep your head and stay focused.

With the help of our college-going experts, we developed the following list of things you will need.

Why LIKE IT

By Ken Wiley III

I

t’s 2010. Growing up in the late 80s and 90s, there were supposed to be a lot of different things futuristic and next generations happening by now. Things like flying cars, instant cooked food, and computer run smart homes were supposedly a given. In gaming though, the next generation came on November 19, 2006. That is the Nintendo Wii. “The only next gen system I’ve seen is the Wii – the PS3 and the Xbox 360 feel like better versions of the last, but pretty much the same game with incremental im-

provement. But the Wii feels like a major jump – not that the graphics are more powerful, but that it hits a completely different demographic,” said Will Wright, creator of the Sims When the Wii was first hitting the market, we all saw the marketing behind this.

It wasn’t aimed at the normal gamer. The marketing was aimed at everyone. An entertainment system aimed at grandparents and their grandchildren. A system aimed at people in health and fitness. A system truly aimed at a group of friends hanging out, not just one or two.

In December 2006 Satoru Iwata, CEO of Nintendo said at a press conference, “We’re not thinking about fighting Sony, but about how many people we can get to play games. The thing we’re thinking about most is not portable systems, consoles, and so forth, but that we want to get new people playing games.”

How successful has this approach been?

Since its launch, the monthly sales numbers of the console have been higher than its competitors across the globe. In the first half of 2007, the Wii sold more units in the www.latinosmagazineonline.com | 23

US than their two big competitors, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, combined. This was the first time a Nintendo console had led its generation in sales since the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. As of March 31, 2010, the Wii has sold 70.93 million units worldwide. As of April 23, 2010, Xbox 360 had sold 40 million units worldwide.

As of December 31, 2009, Playstation 3 had sold 33.5 million units worldwide.

So, what does this system offer?

There are of course the games. Many of them are carried over from the early Nintendo systems we played as kids. Mario Kart was always one of my favorites, and I found it still is. Although one can play alone, it was more fun racing against a live person instead of just the field. Super Mario and Donkey Kong and other early games have been adapted for Wii also.

There is something to be said for playing these games in a group and enjoying each other’s company instead of sitting alone

24 | LATINOS julio

fight World War II or some post apocalyptic adventure.

The sports and fitness packages that are available for Wii provide another form of challenge and fun. They require movement and physical involvement with the games. With the sports packages one can play basketball, bowling, baseball, and tennis, among others.

While competing against cartoon-like characters at first might seem comical, those little folks can play. I tried the tennis, and it looked like it would be easy.

I quickly found out I have no backhand – and no forehand for that matter. I had to work on my coordination, timing, adjusting my swing for force, and moving to the shot. I worked harder than I thought I would, and it was fun.

The fitness packages provide a different set of challenges. The system adjusts to one’s size, weight and self-recorded level of fitness. It saves the data and moves one

along to different levels of fitness. There are step aerobics, stretching, jogging, and balance challenges. The system provides coaching and teaching along with feedback on one’s progress.

There are some fun exercises too. For me, the challenge of the hula hoop exercise was a frustratingly fun exercise. First, swiveling my hips to keep the hoop going was a challenge. Then the cartoon person started tossing hoops that I was supposed to bend and turn to get over my head and then try to keep both hoops going. If I was successful, along came another hoop. This is quite a workout, as is the entire fitness package.

Nintendo Wii is a major jump in video gaming, combining traditional gaming, fun, kinetics, and exercise. At our house it is fun, and if someone looks in early in the morning, they might well see someone working out and trying to catch hula hoops or working on his backhand.

Moda Evita C

on femeninos vestidos de cinturas ceñidas y el corte de los años 50, el diseñador argentino Jorge Ibáñez presentó su nueva colección “Evita 2010”, inspirada en la controvertida y siempre elegante primera dama argentina Eva Perón.

“Estamos en el año del bicentenario y estamos con la cosa de la patria a flor de piel”, dijo Ibáñez a la AP antes del desfile del martes. “¿Qué mujer más que Evita nos ha representado en este bicentenario?”, se preguntó el diseñador en referencia al aniversario de la revolución que condujo a la independencia de Argentina, celebrado en mayo pasado.

Al igual que esposa del tres veces presidente de Argentina Juan Domingo Perón, las Evitas de Ibáñez proyectaban tanto feminidad como poder.

Vestidas con trajes con cintura de avispa y amplias faldas, las modelos bajaron por una escalera de caracol en el elegante Palacio Paz para pavonearse en una sala redonda bajo una cúpula de cristal de 21 metros de altura, ador-

28 | LATINOS julio

nada con querubines dorados y relieves que representan el trabajo, la guerra y la victoria.

El estilo de Evita fue impecable, con gran atención al corte y el detalle, dijo Ibáñez. “Quise llevar toda esta distinción que tenía a hoy, e hice una Evita mucha más moderna pero con el espíritu de ella”.

Ibáñez mostró versiones actualizadas de los trajes que Eva Duarte de Perón usaba mientras besaba a los enfermos y

“El estilo de Evita fue impecable, con gran atención al corte y el detalle” — Ibañez cuidaba de pobres a quienes ella llamaba sus “descamisados”. El creador incluyó en su colección chaquetas con lentejuelas negras y tejidos plateados, algunas con hombros exagerados y angulosos, como amenazadores.

Los vestidos, muchos con cinturones, hicieron eco de los que Evita lució en al-

gunas funciones del prestigioso Teatro Colón de Buenos Aires. Guantes, sombreros, flores de seda y medias con costura abundaron en el desfile.

Evita fue una de las primeras mujeres argentinas que usó pantalones en público, e Ibáñez mostró pantalones de montar metidos en botas altas con chaquetas de cintura entallada y cuello y puños de piel.

Al final del desfile, la cantante argentina Valeria Lynch, la primera en interpretar a Eva en la versión en español del musical “Evita”, apareció en un balcón vestida con un traje de Ibáñez de tejido escocés.

“No llores por mí, Argentina”, cantó Lynch mientras otra Evita, la más rubia de la noche, lucía un vestido de novia con cristales bordados. Cuando las notas finales de la canción se desvanecían, la modelo se desplomó sobre una silla, pero se restableció en breve cuando comenzó a escucharse una canción tecno tango.

La segunda esposa de Perón fue considerada “Mujer del Bicentenario” por el gobierno argentino.

Amada por los trabajadores y denostada por las élites, Evita creció pobre y terminó siendo la mujer más poderosa de Argentina. Falleció en 1952, con poco más de 30 años, víctima de un cáncer.

Sus detractores la llamaban hipócrita por aliarse con los pobres mientras se vestía de Dior y diamantes.

Pero para los trabajadores su historia era inspiradora. “Un vivo ejemplo de la ascensión social en Argentina”, dijo a la AP Santiago Regol, guía del Museo Evita de Buenos Aires.

Eva Perón usó ropa confeccionada por los mejores diseñadores argentinos e internacionales. “Dior, por ejemplo, dice que él vistió a una sola reina y esa reina era Eva Perón,” dijo Regolo.

Al preguntarle cómo habría vestido él a Evita, Ibáñez, quien llevaba un traje de corte estrecho y una corbata finísima, no dudó un instante: “Le hubiese hecho un vestido en terciopelo negro. Le podría haber quedado fantástico, con un tocado de cristales”.

En el vaso de una batidora, poner el pan en remojo con parte del agua, las almendras, el ajo, algo de vinagre y una pizca de sal. Añadir todo el contenido de la sartén que previamente habíamos apartado (aceite y el huevo frito) y batir hasta conseguir una sopa muy fina.

Por último añadir el resto del agua, y ajustar la sal y el vinagre al gusto.

Servir muy frío acompañado con Uvas moscatel.

fuerza cuando se trata de aceleración de emergencia, con buen pique, si se conduce sin el modo económico, cuyo control se encuentra en el panel central y que se activa con sólo apretar un botón.

En cuanto a economía, el Forte tiene un estimado federal de 25 millas por galón en la ciudad y de 34 en carretera, siendo sólo $1,017 dólares anuales de gasto de combustible, claro, esta última cifra depende de cómo se conduzca y hasta dónde se hagan los recorridos.

omance y acción se dan cita en “Eclipse”, la tercera parte de la saga “Twilight”, cuyo estreno mundial este miércoles aspira a romper récords gracias a la legión de admiradores que poseen Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart y Taylor Lautner, su trío protagonista.

Las dos primeras entregas, “Twilight” (de Catherine Hardwicke) y “New Moon” (de Chris Weitz), recaudaron más de 1.100 millones de dólares. “New Moon” tuvo el mejor estreno de la historia, con 72,7 millones de dólares en noviembre del año pasado, y algo más de 140 millones durante el primer fin de semana de exhibición.“Eclipse”, la tercera entrega, dirigida por el británico David Slade (“30 Days of Night”), ha sido saludada por ciertos secto-

res de la crítica como la mejor hasta ahora, gracias en parte a su mezcla de inocencia, elementos oscuros y efectos especiales al servicio de estos vampiros románticos, alejados de la imagen tétrica y siniestra que la literatura y el cine han ofrecido de ellos históricamente.

De nuevo los protagonistas son Edward (Pattinson), Bella (Stewart) y Jacob (Lautner), envueltos en un triángulo amoroso que deberá hacer frente a la amenaza de un ejército de sanguinarios vampiros neófitos mientras surge una alianza entre los lobos del clan Quileute y los vampiros de la familia Cullen. Bella debe elegir entre su amor por Edward o su amistad con Jacob, a sabiendas de que su

decisión puede propulsar una nueva guerra entre vampiros y hombres lobo.

Además, debe decidir si acepta la propuesta de Edward de casarse con él antes de que él mismo sea el responsable de un cambio absoluto en la vida de la joven: la conversión a vampiro.

El filme, en el que aparecen Bryce Dallas-Howard, Ashley Greene y Nikki Reed, cuenta asimismo con la presencia de la colombiana Catalina Sandino Moreno, candidata al Óscar a la mejor actriz por “María llena eres de gracia”.La intérprete acudió el pasado jueves a Los Ángeles para la presentación mundial de la obra, en el marco del festival de cine de la ciudad.

“Es un fenómeno impresionante”, dijo la intérprete a Efe. “Algo increíble. Me acuerdo de estar filmando de noche en Vancouver (Canadá) y ver, cuando me iba en el coche, a familias enteras aguardando a los protagonistas. Aún no me creo haber podido participar en algo así”, añadió.

La actriz da vida a María, un personaje secundario que convierte en un malvado vampiro a Jasper (Jackson Rathbone) y con ello se emprende el intento de destruir el mundo por parte de un nuevo ejército de “chupasangres”.

“Es la encargada de armar una nueva confederación de nuevos vampiros cuyo único objetivo es la destrucción total. Es un papel fuerte, diferente e interesante”, dijo la actriz, quien no cree que repita aparición en las siguientes cintas de la franquicia.

Y es que más adelante llegará “Breaking Dawn”, la última parte de la saga literaria, que se dividirá en dos películas dirigidas por Bill Condon (“Dreamgirls”), ganador de un Óscar por el guión adaptado de “Gods and Monsters”.

El guión, una vez más, correrá a cargo de Melissa Rosenberg, quien ha adaptado al cine la totalidad de esta obra de Meyer.

En “Breaking Dawn” se descifran muchos de los secretos y misterios de la saga escrita por Meyer. Entonces sus actores podrán despedirse de unos personajes que los convirtieron, de la noche a la mañana, en rostros universalmente conocidos.

“Todo el mundo les está mirando”, dijo Sandino Moreno sobre sus famosos compañeros de rodaje. “Tiene que ser difícil para ellos, que son muy jovencitos. No sé cómo están lidiando con toda esa presión, pero imagino que tienen gente muy buena a su alrededor que les cuida y les guía”, agregó. (EFE)
