La Ventaja de Ser Bilingüe The Advantages of Being Bilingual

By Marianna Zeidler RotaryMari@yahoo.com El 16 de Noviembre del 2023, la Administración Biden-Harris, lanzó “El Ser Bilingüe es un SuperPoder” para promover la educación multilingüe dentro de un diverso campo laboral. Ver ed.gov El bilingüismo está definido como la habilidad de usar dos lenguajes para la comunicación. El ser bilingüe significa que se puede pensar en cualquier idioma con facilidad con casi ningún error.

La mayoría de la gente piensa en los lenguajes hablados y escritos. Esto no siempre es el caso pues muchas lenguas no tienen una forma escrita. Además, hay muchas otras maneras que la gente usa para comunicarse entre sí: Las expresiones faciales, los gestos, las señas de manos, la escritura, los gráficos o dibujos, el uso de equipo como para los mensajes de texto o computadora, el tacto (sistema Braille para ciegos), el contacto visual, etc.

El ser “Bilingüe” es más que hablar o escribir.

Ser Bilingüe involucra activar y ejercitar esas células en el cerebro que permanecen ociosas en los monolingües. Al realizar o cambiar tareas no-lingüísticas, los bilingües enlistan áreas del cerebro relacionadas con el control del lenguaje, que los monolingües no usan. Hay evidencia contundente que sugiere que al escuchar una canción o al oír hablar a alguien, el cerebro procesa ambas acciones en el mismo sitio. El habla humana y la música, ambas usan características de tono, volumen, duración y timbre para comunicarse con la audiencia.

Los hallazgos de muchos estudios sugieren que la experiencia bilingüe puede ayudar a mejorar la atención estimulando la respuesta auditiva del tronco cerebral. El bilingüismo enriquece el cerebro y tiene consecuencias reales en lo que se refiere a su función ejecutiva, específicamente a la atención y a la memoria en funcionamiento.

En todo el país, uno de cada cinco niños habla en casa un idioma que no es el inglés. Los niños que crecen hablando dos lenguajes tienden a aprender palabras en inglés con más lentitud que aquellos que hablan sólo inglés. Pero hay estudios que han encontrado que los niños bilingües tienden a ser mejores que los monolingües cuando se trata de realizar varias tareas simultáneamente. También son mejores en enfocar su atención - por ejemplo, dirigiéndose a una sola voz dentro de una ruidosa cafetería escolar. Los músicos muestran ventajas de memoria y atención similares a aquellas vistas en los bilingües. En investigaciones pasadas, los investigadores encontraron que los músicos tienen respuestas auditivas más elevadas del tronco cerebral, a la armonía y sincronización en los sonidos.

La música ayuda a retener palabras y expresiones con mucha más efectividad. El ritmo de la música, tanto como los patrones de repetición en una canción, nos ayudan a memorizar las palabras.

Los niños bilingües, en particular, pueden beneficiarse al cantar canciones en un segundo idioma.

De acuerdo a un estudio financiado en parte por el Instituto Nacional de la Salud, los niños que crecen aprendiendo dos lenguajes están más aptos para cambiar de una tarea a otra que los niños que hablan un solo idioma. Sin embargo, el estudio también encontró que los bilingües se toman más tiempo para adquirir vocabulario que los monolingües, porque los bilingües deben de dividir su tiempo entre dos lenguajes mientras que los monolingües se enfocan sólo en uno.

La crianza bilingüe puede realmente facilitar el desarrollo de ciertas habilidades en el lenguaje y en el conocimiento. Estas aptitudes incluyen la flexibilidad mental, el pensamiento abstracto y la memoria, un tipo de memoria a corto plazo que

es esencial para el aprendizaje y la resolución de problemas. La gente que habla más de un idioma, frecuentemente se desempeña mejor en tareas que requieren creatividad y pensamiento divergente.

Los estudiantes bilingües adquieren destrezas previas a la lectura con mucho más rapidez que los compañeros de clase monolingües. De hecho, el bilingüismo está asociado con muchos otros beneficios cognitivos como las habilidades para realizar tareas simultáneas, la creatividad y la memoria funcional. ¿Tienen los estudiantes bilingües un coeficiente de inteligencia más alto?

Los niños bilingües que hablan la lengua materna en casa tienen una inteligencia más elevada. Los nuevos estudios muestran que los niños que regularmente usan su idioma materno en casa al crecer en un país diferente tienen coeficientes de inteligencia más altos. Los resultados muestran que los niños bilingües en promedio son 6.5% más eficientes en su razonamiento que los niños monolingües.

La habilidad para hablar múltiples idiomas tiene muchos beneficios aunque también pueden acarrear ciertos retrasos. El bilingüismo también ha demostrado un impacto en el desarrollo cognitivo, social y emocional de los niños. Los niños bilingües tienen un entendimiento más amplio de las diferentes culturas y son más conscientes culturalmente, lo que ayuda a promover la empatía y la comprensión. A comparación de los monolingües, los niños bilingües han demostrado un desempeño académico superior, particularmente en las habilidades para el lenguaje y la lectura.

Cuando el cerebro procesa un lenguaje, esto no ocurre en un solo lugar. Hay toda una red por la que el proceso se dispersa a través de todas las áreas del cerebro. Debido a esto, los cerebros bilingües dan lugar a más vías para conectar palabras, conceptos y memorias a través de los diferentes lenguajes.

El bilingüismo en el desarrollo de un niño puede ocasionar ventajas y desventajas. El bilingüismo puede mejorar las habilidades cognitivas tales como la habilidad para realizar tareas simultáneas, resolver problemas y desarrollar un pensamiento crítico.

También abre nuevas experiencias culturales y sociales y puede mejorar oportunidades laborales en un mundo globalizado. Sin embargo, el bilingüismo también puede producir confusión, retrasar el desarrollo de un lenguaje, producir dificultades para el aprendizaje, reducir el desarrollo cognitivo y causar dificultades emocionales y sociales.

Es importante que los padres y educadores comprendan el posible impacto del bilingüismo en el desarrollo de los niños y que provean apoyo y recursos para ayudar a los niños a navegar y sobrellevar cualquier reto que puedan enfrentar. Al crear un entorno educativo de apoyo, los niños pueden sacarle provecho a los beneficios del bilingüismo y realizarse como individuos bilingües bien desarrollados.

Los investigadores de la Universidad George Mason (Virginia, EEUU) encontraron que los estudiantes bilingües no solo consiguen resultados más altos (en todos los temas, no sólo los lenguajes), sino que también cumplen con una mejor asistencia, tienen menos problemas de conducta y disfrutan de una mayor satisfacción dentro de la escuela.

Es bastante claro que el aprender por lo menos un segundo idioma ofrece beneficios de por vida y muchas ventajas para los niños en términos de mejor habilidad para comunicarse, mejor desarrollo cognitivo, y conciencia cultural. Nunca es tarde para poner a su hijo en el camino de un segundo idioma. ¡Hay que empezar ya!

By Marianna Zeidler RotaryMari@yahoo.com As part of its Raise the Bar: Create Pathways for Global Engagement, on November 16, 2023 the Biden-Harris Administration launched “Being Bilingual is a Superpower,” as an initiative by the U.S. Department of Education (Department) to promote multilingual education and bolster high-quality language programs and a diverse multilingual educator workforce across the country. “Being Bilingual is a Superpower” will promote and further the understanding of bilingualism and biliteracy as an educational and economic imperative for student success, global competitiveness, and engagement. Contact: Press Office, (202) 401-1576, press@ed.gov Bilingualism is defined as a speaker’s ability to use two languages for communication. Being bilingual means you can think in either language easily with little or no mistakes.

Most people think about languages as spoken and written. This is not always the case, though, as many languages do not have a written form. There are many other ways that people use to communicate with each other: Facial expressions · Gestures · Pointing / Using hands · Writing · Drawing · Using equipment e.g. Text message or computer · Touch · Eye contact · Music Being “Bilingual” is more than just speaking or writing. It involves activating and exercising those cells in the brain that otherwise remain idle in monolinguals. When performing non-linguistic switching tasks, early bilinguals recruit larger areas of the left hemisphere brain areas related to language control, than do monolinguals. There is strong evidence to suggest that when you listen to a song or to someone speak, your brain is processing those two actions in the same place. Speech and music unite in the form of song. Human speech and music both use the characteristics of pitch, loudness, duration and timbre to communicate with the audience.

Findings from numerous studies suggest that the bilingual experience may help improve selective attention by enhancing the auditory brainstem response. “Bilingualism serves as enrichment for the brain and has real consequences when it comes to executive function, specifically attention and working memory.”

About 1 in 5 children nationwide speak a language other than English at home. Children who grow up learning to speak 2 languages tend to learn English words and grammar more slowly than those who speak only English. But studies have found that bilingual children tend to be better than monolingual children at multitasking. They are also better at focusing their attention—for example, homing in on a voice in a noisy school cafeteria. Musicians show attention and memory advantages similar to those seen in bilinguals. In past work, the researchers found that musicians have enhanced auditory brainstem responses to the timing and harmonics in sound. https://www. nih.gov/news-events/nih-researchmatters/bilingual-effects-brain Music helps us retain words and expressions much more effectively. The rhythm of the music, as well as the repetitive patterns within the song, help us memorize words. Bilingual children, in particular, can benefit from singing songs in their second language. Children who grow up learning to speak two languages are better at switching between tasks than are children who learn to speak only one language, according to a study funded in part by the National Institute of Health. However,

the study also found that bilinguals are slower to acquire vocabulary than are monolinguals, because bilinguals must divide their time between two languages while monolinguals focus on only one. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/bilinguals-switch-tasks-faster-monolinguals-nih-fundedstudy-shows “Being raised bilingual may actually facilitate the development of certain language and cognitive skills. These aptitudes include mental flexibility, abstract thinking and working memory, a type of short-term memory essential for learning and problem solving.” People who speak more than one language frequently perform better on creativity and divergent thinking tasks. Bilingual students pick up certain pre-reading skills faster than their monolingual classmates. In fact, bilingualism is associated with many other cognitive benefits like stronger multitasking skills, creativity, and working memory.

Do bilingual students have a higher IQ? Bilingual children who speak native language at home have higher intelligence. Children who regularly use their native language at home while growing up in a different country have higher IQs, a new study has shown. Findings show that bilingual children are on average 6.5% more efficient in their thinking skills than monolingual children.

The ability to speak multiple languages has many benefits and can also come with some drawbacks. Bilingualism has been shown to have an impact on a child’s cognitive, social, and emotional development. Bilingual children have a broader understanding of different cultures and are more culturally aware, which can help to promote empathy and understanding. Bilingual children have been shown to perform better academically, particularly in language and reading skills, compared to monolingual children.

When the brain processes language, it’s not one place in the brain that processes language. It’s a network that’s spread across all areas of the brain.

Because of that, bilingual brains enable more pathways connecting different words, concepts and memories across different languages.

Bilingualism in child development can bring both advantages and disadvantages. Bilingualism can improve cognitive skills such as multitasking, problem-solving, and critical thinking. It also opens up new cultural and social experiences, and can enhance career opportunities in a globalized world. However, bilingualism can also lead to language confusion, delayed language development, learning difficulties, reduced cognitive development, and social and emotional difficulties.

It is important for parents and educators to understand the potential impact of bilingualism on child development and provide the support and the resources to help children navigate and overcome any challenges they may face. By creating a supportive and educational environment, children can maximize the benefits of bilingualism and develop into well-rounded, bilingual individuals.

Researchers from George Mason University (Virginia, USA) found that bilingual students not only achieved higher test results (in all subjects, not just languages), they also had a better attendance rate, fewer behavioral problems and were generally happier at school.

It is clear that at least a second language study offers lifetime benefits and many advantages for children in terms of improved communicative ability, cognitive development, and cultural awareness.

It’s never too soon to start your child on the path of second language acquisition, so start today!

SUBURBIOS I 3

Helping people regain independence is the goal of Lazarus House

BY DAVE OBERHELMAN

For Reflejos

As the name implies, the aim of Lazarus House is one of renewal.

“The goal is to help individuals find their way back to independent living,” said Sue King, a development team lead and grant writer for the nonprofit shelter at 214 Walnut St., in St. Charles.

It’s increasingly difficult due to a variety of factors, including a troubling trend.

“In Kane County right now, there is a huge shortage of affordable housing,” said Lazarus House Executive Director Julie Purcell.

People earning minimum wage or little more than minimum wage are not able to afford housing in the area any longer, she added.

They join veterans, seniors, survivors of domestic violence and others in a homelessness problem that, according to the Lazarus House website, has no singular “face.”

Purcell, her staff, some 1,500 Lazarus House volunteers and more than 50 partnering agencies are there to help.

Supporting the 26-year-old shelter’s efforts, readers selected Lazarus House as one of five recipients of the Daily Herald›s annual Neighbors in Need program.

A partnership with the Robert R. McCormick Foundation, for each dollar readers donate the McCormick Foundation contributes 50 cents, meaning charities receive $1.50 for each $1 donated.

Since the Daily Herald and the McCormick Foundation initiated the fundraiser in 2021, Neighbors in Need has raised a total of $75,000 -- $50,000 from readers and $25,000 in matching funds.

In fiscal year 2023, Lazarus House recorded 13,645 “nights of service” -- overnight stays by Kane County residents who need help.

Lazarus House’s average budget to host one guest overnight is $115. Neighbors in Need contributions are likely to go toward those costs, Purcell and King said.

It began as a warm-weather shelter created in 1997 by founder Darlene Marcusson, then opened in 1998 as a permanent, 365-day site in the former St. Charles Free Methodist Church. Today, Lazarus House has evolved into a large, U-shaped building with an 80-bed capacity.

It is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to residents from Batavia, Geneva, St. Charles and western rural Kane County.

The Emergency Shelter, its main program, provides shelter, three meals a day, shower and laundry facilities, personal hygiene items and case management to individuals and families. Case managers assess guests’ needs and can create a plan to address their issues and connect them to services.

Opened in 2006 as part of the Emergency Shelter, the Women’s and Children’s Day Center provides a safe, separate space

Lazarus House Year founded: 1997.

Number of people served: 108 people remained housed due to rental and utility assistance to date in 2023; 13,645 nights of shelter in fiscal year 2023.

Biggest needs: Monetary donations, supplies (cleaning, disposable gloves, paper plates, etc.)

equipped with indoor and outdoor play areas.

A Center for Transitional Living, opened in 2003, offers 12 dormitory-style rooms where qualifying individuals and families typically from the shelter receive up to two additional years of in-house case management. Its focus is enhancing income, job opportunities and skill development as guests work toward securing housing.

Homeless Prevention Services, instituted in 2008, helps people currently housed but need rental and utility assistance and other services.

For anyone in need, Lazarus House also provides a meal of a sandwich, fruit, chips, dessert and water at its door from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.

A recent count had 41 individuals staying there. The shelter serves nearly 41,000 meals annually, King said.

Meals are donated and prepared by vol-

unteers, faith groups and local businesses.

Providing safe shelter, food, and case management are the “nuts and bolts” of the mission, King said.

“Getting people back to independence.

It’s a huge respect thing, everyone wants

that,” she said.

It remains a challenge as the cost of housing continues to rise, “especially in the TriCity area,” Purcell said.

If you’re a longtime voter in Illinois, recent primary-election scheduling may make you feel like a yo-yo -- and that state lawmakers are holding the string.

Illinois primaries traditionally are held in March. But the General Assembly delayed the 2022 primary until June to give officials more time to incorporate 2020 census data into mandatory redistricting plans.

That data reportedly was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The provision shifting the primary to June expired this year, however -- so the 2024 primary will be March 19.

Monday is the last day for major-party candidates to file the nominating petitions needed to appear on the primary ballot.

State Rep. Maurice West, a Rockford Democrat, sponsored the 2021 legislation that set the date for the 2022 primary. At the time, he said the state’s traditional, seven-month gap between primary and general elections was “long and risky, negatively affecting public policymaking.”

West deliberately proposed a one-time change “just to see how it works.”

If success is measured by voter turnout, the change was a failure.

Fewer than 1.8 million Illinoisans voted in the 2022 primary, only about 22% of the state’s registered voters, Illinois State Board of Elections data shows. It was the lowest total since 2014 and the first time total voters dipped below 2 million since the dismal showing in 2014.

In contrast, nearly 2.3 million people voted in the 2020 Illinoisprimary, about 28% of the registered total; nearly 3.6 million voted in the 2016 primary, about 47% of the registered total.

Former state Rep. Lauren Beth Gash, now the chair of the Lake County Democratic Party, noted there were several possible explanations for the poor turnout in 2022.

“I think people were busy with graduations, weddings, the school year ending and the like,” said Gash, of Highland Park. “Folks are used to a March primary, and many people were confused last time because the primary wasn’t when they expected it, and they missed it.”

Fearing a low turnout, state Sen. Laura Murphyopposed moving the 2022 primary to June. Murphy said she›s «really pleased» the next one is back in March.

“Hopefully more (voters) will participate,” Murphy said.

Elections expert Kent Redfield expects Illinois’ future primaries will remain in or around March simply to maintain the status quo.

“Politicians hate uncertainty and risk,” said Redfield, a professor emeritus of political science at the University of Illinois Springfield.

“Self-preservation usually trumps appeals for reform to promote participation or other good government objectives.”

The state’s history of patronage-based, par-

ILLINOIS’ NEXT primary election will be held March 19. Primaries here usually are in March, but the 2022 primary was in June. Turnout was relatively low.

ty politics is a factor, too, Redfield said.

“The only people the party bosses wanted to show up on Election Day were party regulars motivated by loyalty and fear,” he said.

“The more disinterest in the general public about the primary election, the better. ... Perfect primary Election Day weather for the party bosses was a snowstorm in Chicago and a cold, driving rain downstate.”

Niki Conforti, a Glen Ellyn Republican making her second bid for Illinois’ 6th Congressional District seat next year, supports keeping primaries in March.

Conforti first ran for the seat in 2022 and lost a six-way contest for the GOP nomination

to Orland Park’s Keith Pekau, who eventually lost in the general election to incumbent Democrat Sean Casten of Downers Grove. “(A March primary) can only help with voter turnout,” Conforti said.

Republican state Rep. Martin McLaughlin of Barrington Hills suspects the redistricting ahead of the 2022 election left many registered voters unsure of their elected state and federal representatives. That, in turn, reduced their interest in the races on the ballot, he said.

McLaughlin encourages people to confirm their state and federal representatives through a feature on the elections board website at tinyurl.com/4effx82m.

SEGURIDAD I 5

Avoid a fire in your home over the holidays; follow these Red Cross decorating safety steps Red Cross Volunteers Assisted 213 People Affected by Home Fires in the Past Week

December 4, 2023 — The holidays are a wonderful time to get everyone together.

Unfortunately, they can also mean a greater risk of a fire in someone’s home. This holiday season, the Red Cross encourages everyone to follow simple steps to prevent home fires from holiday decorations.

“December is the peak time for home fires involving candles and holiday decorations,” said Adam Runkle, Regional Disaster Officer for the Illinois Red Cross “Help protect your family by using battery-operated candles and practicing your two-minute escape plan with everyone in your household.”

HOLIDAY DECORATING SAFETY TIPS

Follow these safety tips and visit redcross. org/fire for more information. You can also download the free Red Cross Emergency app by searching “American Red Cross” in app stores.

• If you must use candles, keep them away from anything that could burn, and place them out of reach of pets and children.

Never leave burning candles unattended.

• Check all holiday light cords to ensure they aren’t frayed or broken. Don’t string too many strands of lights together — no more than three per extension cord.

• Ensure outside decorations are for outdoor use and fasten lights securely to your home or trees. If using hooks or nails out-

side, make sure they are insulated to avoid an electrocution or fire hazard.

• If buying an artificial tree, look for a fire-resistant label. When putting it up, keep it away from fireplaces, radiators and other sources of heat. Never use electric lights on metallic trees.

• If getting a live tree, make sure it’s fresh and keep it watered. To test if the tree is fresh, bend the needles up and down to make sure no needles fall off.

• Don’t light the fireplace if hanging stockings or other decorations on the mantel.

• Install smoke alarms on every level of the home and outside each sleeping area.

Test them once a month and replace the batteries at least once a year.If you cannot afford to purchase smoke alarms or are physically unable to install one, the Red Cross may be able to help. Contact your local Red Cross for help.

Libertyville honors eight businesses for contributions to community, local economy

BY MICK ZAWISLAK

For Reflejos

Eight Libertyville businesses have been honored for entrepreneurial qualities and contributions to the community and local economy.

New and established businesses were among those selected for recognition based on public nominations in five categories: community impact; economic impact; development excellence; notable new business; and, advancement.

The inaugural Business Excellence Program held earlier this month was created by the village’s economic development commission, an advisory group of business owners and managers that makes recommendations and assists with village programs or actions to retain and attract business.

“The program is an important component of the village’s effort to help educate the community about the unique and exceptional businesses in Libertyville,” said Mayor Donna Johnson.

It also highlights the importance of the partnership between the village and local business in promoting the economic survival of the downtown area and the Route 137/Peterson Road corridor, she added.

In his opening comments, commission Chairman John Cortesi said there are nearly 1,000 businesses representing a variety of sectors in town.

“Success in this market doesn’t just come from a good idea and a full staff -- it comes through dedication, drive, grit, creativity and the willingness and versatility to adapt to ever-changing market conditions,” he added.

The commission wanted to showcase businesses the community believes have embraced those qualities while making important contributions, he added.

“They (commissioners) wanted the community to be aware of some of these businesses in their own backyard,” said Heather Rowe, the village’s economic development manager.

A listing and video featuring the business owners is posted atlibertyville.com/. Here’s a

Las preocupantes complicaciones que aparecen en el futuro del Diablito Echeverri en River Plate La principal promesa de las divisiones inferiores del club de Núñez tiene contrato hasta diciembre de 2024.

Su actuación en el Mundial Sub-17 acelera los tiempos

Por Gerardo Anaya Fronteras de la Noticia - espn.com.ar Cuando tiraba gambetas en los potreros de Resistencia, Claudio Echeverri, el Diablito, les decía a sus amigos que su sueño era jugar en River Plate y en la selección argentina. En parte, ya los cumplió: este año debutó en la Primera División del equipo del que es hincha y sumó 72 minutos en cuatro partidos; y fue una de las figuras del seleccionado Sub-17 en el Mundial de Indonesia. Le queda para más adelante jugar en la Mayor. Hoy es el juvenil de la cantera millonaria al que los hinchas más quieren ver en el equipo principal: Echeverri es una ilusión, una esperanza de que River pueda tener a su propio Messi.

Pero en River, a nivel dirigencial, hay inquietud en torno al tema Echeverri. ¿El motivo? Tiene contrato hasta diciembre de 2024 y en el club se enteraron de que Enzo Montepaone, el representante del juvenil comenta por lo bajo que a más tardar en junio se lo llevará a un equipo grande de Europa.

No es el único tema que preocupa en las oficinas del Monumental. En realidad, en River dicen tener un acuerdo

de palabra con Montepaone para renovarle el contrato a Echeverri cuando regrese de Indonesia y para aumentarle el monto de la cláusula de rescisión del vínculo, que hoy es de 25.000.000 de euros que se transforman en 30.000.000 de esa moneda en los últimos diez días antes del cierre del libro de pases. En River quieren aumentarle la cláusula a 50.000.000 de euros, lo que lo transformaría en el más cotizado del plantel (hoy las cláusulas más elevadas, de 30.000.000 de euros, son las de Facundo Colidio y del juvenil Franco Mastantuono, también integrante del seleccionado Sub-17). ¿Cuál es entonces el inconveniente? Que en River temen que el agente del futbolista vuelva a poner trabas para la renovación del contrato. En su momento, hubo muchas idas y vueltas antes de que el 2 de enero de este año, el pibe firmara un contrato con el club hasta diciembre de 2024.

En aquel momento, el representante del jugador impuso su postura de firmar por dos años y no por tres, como quería River. Ante el muy buen Mundial Sub-17 que jugó Echeverri, quien anotó los tres goles en el 3 a 0 ante Brasil por los cuartos de final, en River sospechan que pueden llegar a tener inconvenientes para ponerse de acuerdo en los términos de la renovación y del aumento de la cláusula.

“No notamos ni buena predisposición ni intenciones de que River pueda disfrutar del jugador”, afirman por lo bajo desde la dirigencia.

Como contrapartida, en River entienden que el fanatismo de Echeverri por el club es una carta que juega a favor de la dirigencia y del deseo de los hinchas de verlo mucho tiempo con la camiseta de la banda roja.

En Europa, los medios afirman que lo pretenden tres grandes de ese continente: Real Madrid, Manchester City y Milan. Desde River, por ahora dicen no tener ofertas formales por el chaqueño, quien en enero formará parte de la pretemporada que el plantel realizará en Estados Unidos. Fuera de grabador, Montepaone reconoce que desde Europa lo contactan permanentemente por el enganche.

Newest Portillo’s officially opens, 60 years after first one debuted

BY MICHELLE MEYER

Shaw Local News Network

The area’s newest Portillo’s restaurant officially has opened off Randall Road in Algonquin.

The new location, at 1801 S. Randall Road, hosted a grand opening and ribbon cutting event Tuesday morning with the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Chamber of Commerce.

Portillo’s Vice President of Restaurant Support Michael Portillo, whose father is founder Dick Portillo, spoke at the ribbon-cutting ceremony about the history of the business. This year marks the 60th anniversary of Portillo’s, which opened its first location in 1963 in Villa Park.

“It hits me, as it does every time we open a restaurant, that the stories, the memories that people have and share, that is what makes Portillo’s so special,” Michael Portillo said.

He took the opportunity of the grand opening to showcase what he said was the company’s dedication to local nonprofits. He presented two giant checks of $5,000 each to Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Interfaith Food Pantry and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Dundee Township.

No two Portillo’s locations are alike, Portillo said. The Algonquin location is called a “garage theme” with references to automo-

biles, car parts and tools scattered throughout the restaurant.

Plaques near the entrance showcase Algonquin’s history with pictures and notes about The Borden Milk Company and the establishment of the village in 1890.

The restaurant also has an outdoor patio area and a small “grab-and-go” gift shop with shirts, ornaments and stuffed animal wiener dogs.

The Algonquin Portillo’s employs more than 130 people and serves about 1,500 customers each day, General Manager Paul Vanderbleek said.

The restaurant has been operating since Nov. 16. It is located in Kane County just south of the McHenry County line. The only McHenry County location is in Crystal Lake, according to the chain’s website.

Portillo’s is among a spate of new businesses debuting this month in the village.

Algonquin Village President Debby Sosine said her goal is to have this Portillo’s be the most successful location.

Lifelong fan Pete Robinson also attended Tuesday’s cutting of the ribbon, which was shaped as a crinkle-cut fry. He has been to almost all 84 Portillo’s openings, with pins from each on his jacket that he made himself.

Robinson’s connection with Portillo’s started in 1964 when he visited the original

“Dog House” location in Villa Park. Dick Portillo covered the tax on Robinson’s order since he was just a teenager at the time.

“It’s all about the experience,” he said. “I bring my grandchildren here.”

Sleepy Hollow resident Rich Reedy said

he didn’t realize the Algonquin location wasn’t open yet when he tried the locked doors on Nov. 16. Employees covered his meal to celebrate their first official customer.

“I’m just so excited that this is opening,” he said.

10 I INMIGRACIÓN

VIERNES, 8 DE DICIEMBRE DE 2023

Más de 300 empleadores presionan a Biden y al Congreso para otorgar permisos de trabajo a indocumentados Janine Trainor Fronteras de la Noticia borderlinea.mx Líderes de más de 300 negocios presionan al presidente Joe Biden y al Congreso, a fin de otorgar permisos de trabajo a inmigrantes indocumentados que llevan varios años en Estados Unidos.

Los empresarios buscan que la Administración Biden autorice un programa ampliado de ‘parole’ o perdón a la deportación, con el cual también se permitiría otorgar un Documento de Autorización de Empleo (EAD).

“Como empleadores de toda nuestra nación, les pedimos que tomen medidas urgentes para ampliar autorización de trabajo para contribuyentes inmigrantes de largo plazo y recién llegados, inicia la carta enviada.

Los peticionarios alegan que

Estados Unidos enfrenta una falta de mano de obra, la cual se puede solventar con los inmigrantes, a quienes se les permitiría laborar en forma legal.

“Estados Unidos ha estado luchando contra la escasez de mano de obra, retrasos burocráticos en la tramitación de visas para trabajadores extranjeros y otras cuestiones derivadas del obsoleto sistema de inmigración”, señala la misiva. “Los inmigrantes están aquí para trabajar”.

Esta no es la primera vez que los empresarios piden al Congreso y al presidente Biden actuar con un programa ampliado similar al otorgado a algunos inmigrantes, como aquellos de Ucrania, Cuba y Haití, así como a venezolanos, antes de que ampliara el Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS).

La petición es impulsada por la Coalición de Acción de Inmigración Empresarial Estadounidense (Acción ABIC), al considerar que la libertad condicional puede ampliar los permisos de trabajo, abordar la escasez de mano de obra y combatir la inflación.

Esa postura es un mensaje a los congresistas, quienes negocian un plan bipartidista que buscaría reducir las protecciones bajo ‘parole’, incluso endurecer los procesos para la petición de asilo.

La coalición de organizaciones y empresarios señalan que el

presidente Biden tiene la autoridad administrativa para otorgar la autorización de trabajo a inmigrantes, esto a través de la llamada libertad condicional o ‘parole’, un programa que permite a las personas trabajar legalmente y permanecer en los Estados Unidos por razones humanitarias urgentes o de beneficio público significativo para el país.

Ashley de Azevedo, presidenta de American Families United dijo que si el Congreso elimina el ‘parole’ se provocaría un serio problema laboral, además de afectar a las familias mixtas, es decir aquellas donde algún miembro no tiene papeles.

De Azevedo dijeron que los senadores republicanos Thom Cotton (Arkansas) James Lankford (Oklahoma) por querer modificar algunas normas migratorias esenciales, las cuales beneficiarían a familiares de militares sin papeles.

Jenni Tilton-Flood, de Flood Brothers LLC, se sumó al llamado, al indicar que la industria agrícola enfrenta serios problemas de empleados.

El proyecto bipartidista que se negocia sería una especie de reforma migratoria limitada, luego de la presión de republicanos para endurecer reglas a migrantes, a cambio de apoyar el presupuesto para Ucrania, Israel y Taiwán que solicitó el presidente Biden.

Anti-hate campaign

Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center on Tuesday is launching a new initiative, “Understanding & Confronting Anti-Jewish Hate,” anchored by nine programs focused on helping Chicago-area communities identify and address antisemitism.

The programs, some in-person and some hybrid or virtual, will take place over the next eight months. They will feature discussions with Holocaust survivors and historians and community, civic and religious leaders.

“Today, antisemitism is on an alarming rise,” said Bernard Cherkasov, CEO of Illinois Holocaust Museum. “The growth in the number, ferocity and intensity of public attacks should concern us all, as should the apathy that often greets it.

That is why today we must call for more than a time for reflection. The duty we have is an active one; to confront antisemitism.”

The series will examine issues and challenges of antisemitism, and present concrete action items on how to combat acts of hatred in communities, on college campuses, and on a global scale.

All programs are free to the public, but reservations are required.

The first session is “Building Resilience Through Trauma — A Conversation with Survivors of the Holocaust,” at noon Tuesday. Survivors Marion Deichmann and Lin Novitsky will share their perspectives on the concept of resilience and hope before, during and after trauma. The event will be moderated by Joy Miller, a member of the museum board and CEO/director of Joy Miller & Associates and Resiliency Productions.

EL CUIDADO DE LA PIEL, TODA UNA NECESIDAD PARA NUESTRA SALUD La piel es el órgano más grande de nuestro cuerpo. Siempre está expuesta y por lo tanto necesita de cuidados extra que la protejan de cualquier amenaza que pueda llegar a afectarla.

Carolina Pikakacho Fronteras de la Noticia - EFEsalud

La piel es el órgano más grande de nuestro cuerpo. Siempre está expuesta y por lo tanto necesita de cuidados extra que la protejan de cualquier amenaza que pueda llegar a afectarla.

El consumo diario o regular de alimentos procesados o ricos en grasa harán que nuestra piel sufra alteraciones, por eso la La Academia Americana de Dermatología "The American Academy of Dermatology" (AAD) hace hincapié en que es importante revisar que nuestra dieta sea la adecuada a las necesidades de nuestro organismo; la piel, el cabello y nuestro cuerpo se verán beneficiados casi de manera inmediata.

La AAD también señala que la higiene y los buenos hábitos son el primer paso para gozar de una piel radiante y sana.

Esto incluye el baño diario y tratar de evitar tocarte el rostro y el cuerpo con las manos sucias. El contacto constante en estas condiciones provocaría la transmisión de microorganismos patógenos que pueden producir reacciones alérgicas en la piel. Otros cuidados son evitar la exposición prolongada al sol sin protección, para evitar la aparición de manchas, envejecimiento prematuro y peor aún, cáncer de piel.

No solo el sol afecta, también los cambios de temperatura, la contaminación, hasta la luz artificial resecan nuestra piel y generan tirantez y enrojecimiento.

La fotoprotección, el no exponerse a cambios de temperatura y la alimentación deben de ir acompañados de una crema que proteja nuestra piel y que además esté respaldada de una recomendación dermatológica.

No saber gestionar nuestras emociones, una pandemia y las redes sociales son tres factores que han empeorado los datos sobre el suicidio en el último año, Carolina Pikacho Fronteras de la Notiica - EFEsalud “Yo puse día y hora, pero cuando no tiene que ocurrir, no ocurre “. Así recuerda Antonio (nombre ficticio) aquel día en que intentó quitarse la vida. Pero, por suerte o por desgracia, “una piedra” se interpuso en su camino para evitar esta tragedia.

Antonio fue una de las personas que no logró llevar su objetivo hasta el final y consiguió la ayuda de profesionales para seguir su vida.

No obstante, al otro lado del suicidio hay un millón de personas en el mundo que sí lo consiguen.

Se trata, dicen los expertos, de un problema silencioso del que todavía no se habla lo suficiente como para evitarlo. Aunque se ha avanzado en los últimos años a pasos agigantados, sostienen, aún existe un miedo “irracional” de tratar el suicidio en los medios de comunicación, por si se crea un efecto llamado.

Muchos familiares que ahora se encuentran en un estado de duelo, afirman que si se hubiese hablado más sobre este tema, ahora un ser querido seguiría con vida.

El suicidio no es algo que se quiera, aseguran los expertos, sino la única salida que ven estas personas para acabar con un sufrimiento que llevan arrastrando desde hace mucho tiempo.

Aunque a muchos de los afectados se les contemple desde fuera con una gran sonrisa y vitalidad, por dentro arrastran una larga depresión, según Junibel Lancho, psicóloga y coordinadora del Teléfono Contra el Suicidio. Esto, añadido a la vergüenza que sienten por contar lo que les pasa a las personas más cercanas, crea una situación mental en declive.

Asimismo, Antonio rememora cómo cargó con una responsabilidad que no le correspondía, la de intentar solucionar sus problemas solo. “Yo siempre tenía una sonrisa para ocultar todo eso. Siempre he pensado que mis problemas son mis problemas y de cara a los demás tú tienes que estar siempre alegre. Eso es una equivocación “, reflexiona Lancho.

Por ello, profesionales como Beatriz Mora, coordinadora de psicología de la Clínica López Ibor, ven necesario no normalizar comportamientos, sobre todo si se mantienen en el tiempo.

Y aunque se trate de una circunstancia que le pue-

de ocurrir a cualquier persona, los expertos han notado cómo cada vez son más jóvenes aquellos que piensan o deciden quitarse la vida. Otro aspecto donde la pandemia ha dejado su huella.

Para ser más exactos, Junibel Lancho habla de jóvenes de entre 16 y 17 años y, en algún caso, de hasta 12 años.

Al igual que la pandemia ha agravado los datos sobre el suicidio, las redes sociales no se quedan atrás.

No saber gestionar las emociones dentro de una sociedad en la que prima la imagen, ha creado un ambiente propicio para que esta situación empeore.

Los expertos lanzan tres mensajes: no es malo pedir ayuda, hay que dar más visibilidad al suicidio a través de campañas de prevención y es urgente instaurar una educación emocional desde una edad temprana.

Por su parte, Antonio habla directamente a aquellos que están o han estado en su misma situación.

“Lo primero que tienes que hacer es convencerte a ti mismo de que tú puedes salir y de que los profesionales te van a poner las pilas. Y vas a volver a reírte de aquellas cosas que estaban ahí, pero que tú ya no las reías”.

Cortés’ forthcoming revival has sparked excitement among his fervent followers and aficionados of the flamenco art form, who have been eager to witness his passionate performances and unmatched grace once again.

In the candid words of Joaquín Cortés, “I find myself in a vibrant moment, eager to dance and connect with the audience in the United States after such an extended pause, and at the same time, I am thrilled to share my

art with my fans and new generations.”

In “Esencia,” Joaquín Cortés will take the audience on an emotional journey through his personal evolution, from his beginnings as a 12-year-old boy dreaming of emulating his uncle and hero, Cristóbal Reyes, to his metamorphosis as one of the most illustrious and revered dancers in Spain and the world.

“Esencia” promises to be a tour de force filled with emotion, a vivid tapestry woven with Cortés’ virtuosity and imaginative process that will mesmerize all in attendance.

“Esencia” is scheduled to premiere at the prestigious Rosemont Theatre in Rosemont, Illinois, Friday, December 8, 2023.

Tickets for the tour are now available via www.ticketmaster. com and at https://rosemont. com/theatre for his performance at the Rosemont Theatre. The tour is a Risen and Rumba Miami production.

FORBES INCLUYE AL MEXICANO PESO PLUMA ENTRE LOS LÍDERES MÁS RELEVANTES DE MENOS DE 30 AÑOS El cantante mexicano Peso Pluma ha entrado en la lista “30 under 30” de la revista Forbes, en la que se reconoce el talento y las iniciativas de jóvenes de menos de 30 años en diferentes ámbitos, como la música, las redes sociales o la tecnología.

Carolina Pikacho, Fronteras de la Noticia - EFE orbes ha calificado al artista como “una de las mayores estrellas de México”, pues aporta un “toque moderno” a la música regional mexicana al fusionar diferentes estilos musicales, como los corridos, el reguetón y la cumbia.

Peso Pluma (Guadalajara, 1999) alcanzó la fama en 2023 gracias, en parte, al corrido tumbado “Ella Baila Sola”, y desde entonces no ha dejado de cosechar éxitos, e incluso ha participado en una sesión musical con el aclamado productor argentino Bizarrap.

En esta categoría también se ha reconocido el trabajo del puertorriqueño Lucas Barbosa, jefe de la discográfica independiente Rimas Entertainment, y de otros artistas como Gracie Abrams, Ethel Cain o la banda Boygenius.

La revista Forbes ha incluido en su lista de 2024 a 600 personas influyentes de 20 industrias distintas: “Esta es una de las listas más diversas y ambiciosas hasta la fecha, en particular en cuanto al alcance de su trabajo y el impacto de su liderazgo”, ha subrayado Kristin Stoller, editora sénior de “Forbes Under 30”, en un comunicado de la revista.

Según Forbes, en conjunto, los jóvenes reconocidos en esta edición han recaudado 3.600 millones de dólares para la beneficencia, y las “celebrities”, los artistas y los creadores suman más de 780 millones de seguidores en las redes sociales.

La portada de Forbes que acompaña la lista la protagoniza el reguetonero Bad Bunny, que formó parte de la edición de 2019 de “30 under 30” y al que la revista ha alabado diciendo que “cualquier cosa que crea se convierte en hit”.

Carlos Morales, Fronteras de la Noticia - espinof.com La favorita (The Favourite) demostró que la dupla director-actriz entre Yorgos Lanthimos y Emma Stone estaba a la altura de grandes retos cinematográficos. Tras sus múltiples nominaciones al Oscar, era de esperarse que Pobres Criaturas (Poor Things), el nuevo film que los reúne nuevamente fuese igual de exitoso. Sin embargo, nadie contaba con que la película fuese técnicamente impecable, según la crítica. Y es que en Rotten Tomatoes debutó con nada menos que una calificación perfecta, pero lo increíble es que mientras más usuarios se suman a darle su veredicto, el número parece no tener intenciones de bajar del 100%.

se escapa con Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), un abogado astuto y libertino, en una aventura vertiginosa a través de los continentes. Libre de los prejuicios de su época, Bella se vuelve firme en su propósito de defender la igualdad y la liberación”.

El film se basa en ¡Pobres Criaturas!

Episodios de la Juventud Del Dr. Archibald McCandless, Funcionario de Salud Pública, la novela del escritor escocés Alasdair Gray publicada en 1922. El guion fue desarrollado por Tony McNamara (The Great y Cruella), quien ha sido un colaborador habitual de Yorgos Lanthimos desde La favorita.

La película ha conquistado el Festival de Cine de Venecia con su ingeniosa y audaz adaptación de la novela original. Con Lanthimos al mando y la talentosa Emma Stone al frente, la cinta presenta una reinterpretación femenina y feminista del clásico personaje de Frankenstein. Esta comedia negra desenfrenada ha dejado una impresión duradera en el público veneciano, con escenas explícitas y una actuación impecable por parte de Stone y Mark Ruffalo.

FEID

FERXXOCALIPSIS

MÚSICA I 19

Caroilina Pickacho Fronteras de la Noticia Universal Music Latino El artista colombiano Feid, uno de los mayores exponentes del género urbano en la actualidad, lanzó ‘FERXXOCALIPSIS’, el segundo de 2023, como regalo de fin de año para sus fans que llega con 10 nuevas canciones.

Colaboraciones con varios artistas colombianos como el rapero Mañanas Ru-Fino y Jhay P, así como internacionales como el estadounidense ATL Jacob estructuran este EP, marcado por los sonidos del tradicional reguetón del colombiano.

Canciones como ‘Alakran’, ’50 Palos’ y ‘Esquirla’ son un llamado para llevar a todas las “chimbitas” a la pista de baile, mientras que ‘La Vuelta’ con Mañas Ru-fino y ‘Cual Es Esa’ con Pirlo, demuestran que la escena del rap en Medellín puede, de hecho, convivir en armonía con el reguetón.

Además, incorpora ‘Classy 101’, el éxito con la puertorriqueña Young Miko que ha estado entre las canciones más escuchadas por semanas desde que lo lanzara hace ya varios meses.

No es la primera vez que el colombiano publica un regalo navideño para sus fans, ya el año pasado, después de publicar su álbum en septiembre, sacó a la luz el EP ‘Sixdo’.

Ferxxo, como también se conoce al artista colombiano, ha sido el sexto artista más escuchado a nivel mundial en 2023 según las cifras de la plataforma Spotify y ha saboreado las mieles del éxito en un año donde sus canciones han alcanzado lo más alto de las listas globales de música.

Su disco ‘MOR, no le temas a la oscuridad’, lanzado el pasado 29 de septiembre, también le valió el aplauso de sus fans.
