WASHINGTON, DC,Sept. 15, 2011 (AP): Presi-dent Barack Obama, court-ing Latinos while promot-ing his new jobs plan, tolda black-tie Latino audienceon Wednesday that his $447billion package of tax cutsand public works spendingwould put more money inthe pockets of Latino work-ers and business owners andincrease opportunities forLatinos.
The president made hispitch to the CongressionalHispanic Caucus Institute’s34th Annual Awards Gala.The event is part of His-panic Heritage Month.
Addressing an importantconstituency both in thevoting population and inCongress, the presidentkept up his vigorous publicrelations campaign for hiseconomic measures whilealso beseeching the crowdto help him pass his educa-
tion and immigrationagenda.
“Lift up your voices,” hetold an audience that in-cluded Princess Cristina ofSpain and Supreme CourtJustice Sonia Sotomayor.“Make yourselves heard.”
Obama’s economic plan,the administration’s top pri-ority, received polite ap-plause from the crowd.People saved their loudestapproval for the president’sassurance that he remaineddetermined to pass a rewriteU.S. immigration laws tooffer a pathway to citizen-ship for 11 million undocu-mented immigrants.
Blaming Republican re-sistance, he said: “It’s beena long and frustrating roadfor all of us”.
In advance of his remarks,the White House said thejobs proposal would lowerpayroll taxes for about 25million Latino workers and
about 250,000 Latino-owned businesses, statis-tics cited by the presidentto argue his case. More-over, the White House saidthe legislation could helpthe 344,000 Latinos nolonger working as carpen-ters or as construction la-borers because of the re-cession.
“You know how hardthis recession has hit fami-lies, especially Latinofamilies,” Obama said.
Obama said changes inimmigration law are key toeconomic growth andwould fulfill what he called“the idea of America.”
“No matter what youmay hear, in this countrythere is no ‘us’ or ‘them.’There is only ‘us.’ Onenation, under God, indi-visible,” he said. “Andimmigrants are part of thatAmerican family and asource of our strength.”

LORAIN: “La tierra deBorinquen, donde he nacidoyo, es un jardín florido demágico primor...”
A taste of Puerto Rico’s richtraditions - its music, food andculture – were all celebratedin South Lorain this past week-end when the local PuertoRican Home Club hosted its14th annual Boricua Festivaland 4th annual Puerto RicanParade, Sept. 16-17, 2011.
The festival featured aLatino Art show and silentauction, folkloric music anddance by Julia de Burgos’dance group Isla del Encanto,raffles,dominog a m e sand aT a l e n tS h o wS a t u r -d a y .Roughly 100 people attendedthe club Friday, said JulieOrtiz, the club’s secretary.
Dozens of people lined upto watch the parade Saturdayafternoon, many carryingPuerto Rican flags or display-ing their Puerto Rican prideon T-shirts, hats and banners.The parade welcomed floatsfilled with artists performingthe cherished music of the is-land.
Grupo Los Maximos, areggaeton group from Lorain,performed their original song“Puerto Rico” atop ElBoriMex club’s float. Onegroup marched and chanted“Stop deportations. Keep fami-lies together.” Like any PuertoRican parade, there were noshortage of a variety of cars,trucks and motorcycles.
Some spectators wonderedwhy there was a Puerto Ricanparade and not a Mexicanparade in South Lorain onSept. 16 – Mexico’s Indepen-dence Day. But for theSantiago family watching theparade, the day was a doublespecial treat. MarylouOrnelas watched the paradenear Pearl Avenue with herdaughter Emily Santiago, 8,daughter, Gabriela Santiago,11, and son, Pedro Santiago,

The Santiagos’three cousins includingJayden Santiago Ott, 9,joined them, and they werewaiting for more family toturnout for the parade.Emily, Gabriela, Pedro andJayden said they would loveto learn more Spanish andvisit their Puerto Rico andMexico someday, and listedtheir favorite ethnic foods.
Among their PuertoRican favorite dishes theylisted rice, pernil (pork) andalcapurrias; among their
M e x i -c a nd i shes :t a c o s ,they saidin uni-son.
A n dthat is the festival’s exactpurpose: to teach and reac-quaint both the young andold with their Puerto Ricanculture, in addition to serv-ing as the home’s mainfundraiser. Evelyn Vásquez,one organizer for this year’spageant for the Puerto Ricanhome, said she wants theyoung to learn their culture.
Eight girls are compet-ing in the 2011 pageant.Running for Miss Chiquititaare Nahivelys Marrero andAjaysha Quiñones; Run-ning for Princesa are NadiaGarcía and María Pedraza;and Running for Reina areQuirena Olivencia, RoseSánchez, Jaileene Sánchez,and Bianca Cruz. The 5th
annual pageant will takeplace Oct. 8, 2011 at thehome, and will feature a tal-ent portion.
“The girls are doing sowell. They are learningabout their culture, learningdances of Plena and Bomba,learning how to speak Span-ish,” Vásquez said.
She added that shewanted to thank the previ-ous organizer of the pag-eant, Nidia Silva. “She did awonderful job for the lastfour years.”
Nidia Silva and her hus-band, Juan Silva, formerPresident of the Puerto RicanHome, had organized theBoricua Festival for manyyears. This year, the PuertoRican Home welcomed achange in leadership. Its newofficers include PresidentMon Rivera, Vice PresidentMillion Medina, TreasurerRosie García, and SecretaryJulie Ortiz. Juan Silva previ-ously said it was time for himto step aside from his leader-ship position but that hewould continue to help theLatino community in otherways.
Richard Romero, maga-zine editor and writer, joinedthe Puerto Rican Home’sleaders and helped providefunds for the festival’s enter-tainment this year. Romerosaid he wants to help the eth-nic clubs. “Many ethnicclubs are closing up becausethey can’t survive in thiseconomy,” Romero said “Alot of people don’t have theopportunity to go to PuertoRico, so let’s bring the cul-ture to them,” he said.

DETROIT, Sept. 13,2011 (AP) : Say you justbought a new car, and theright front tire goes flat asyou’re driving down thefreeway.
Don’t be surprised ifthere’s no spare when youlook in the trunk.
This year, more than 14percent of new models onsale in the United Statescame with liquid tire seal-ant and a portable electricair pump instead of aspare, a trend that is grow-ing as automakers try toshed pounds and boost gasmileage.
But there can be prob-lems. While the sealantworks well in most cases,you could be stuck on theshoulder if the hole thatcaused the flat is largerthan a quarter of an inch,or if the puncture is on theside of the tire. In thosecases, the only option is tohave your car towed, andyou may have to wait for arepair shop to track downa new tire.
“The last thing youwant to do is find out thehard way that you don’thave a spare tire if you’restranded on the side of theroad,” said Gene Petersen,tire program leader forConsumer Reports maga-zine.
However, General Mo-tors Co., Hyundai Motor Co.and other automakers thatuse the pump-and-sealantkits say they have many ad-vantages, mainly theweight savings. The kits areabout 20 pounds lighterthan a temporary spare andthe jack and other toolsneeded to put on the tire.Also, the inflator kits don’ttake up as much room in thetrunk, leaving more spacefor luggage or other cargo.
GM, which has made in-flators and sealant standardon all but five of its 22 U.S.car and crossover models,said the kits can fix 85 per-cent of tire punctures.They’re easy to use, evenfor someone who might beafraid of changing a tire,and they’re safer becausetires can be quickly refilled,getting the driver off theroadside and back in trafficfaster than putting on aspare, said Dave Cowger,GM’s tire engineeringgroup manager.
Hyundai says the infla-tor kits help avoid anotherproblem: getting dirtywhile changing a tire your-self. All you do is attachsome tubes and fill the tirewith sealant and air.
GM’s market research,Cowger said, shows that halfof consumers would call for
roadside assistance ratherthan using a spare.
Also, new cars now comewith electronic tire pressuremonitors, so a slow leak in atire is likely to be detectedand fixed before it causesproblems on the road,Cowger said.
GM, like manyautomakers, offers car buy-ers the option of getting aspare tire, charging $100 to$150 more for them. Cowgerwouldn’t say if GM savesmoney by swapping infla-tor kits for spares.
But many new car buyersassume that they’re gettinga spare and don’t ask aboutit, said Ronald Montoya,consumer advice associatewith the Edmunds.com au-tomotive website.
“Unfortunately, this issomething that many of usdon’t think of when shop-ping for a car,” he said.
Plus, new cars are oftenequipped with larger wheelsand performance tires withsmaller sidewalls than regu-lar tires. That helps a carhandle better, but the sidesof those tires take more pun-ishment from potholes andare more prone to sidewallpunctures, said Petersen.
Still, for the 85 percentof flats that the sealant canfix, there are 15 percent thatit can’t.
“An actualspare tire is thebest backupsystem should a customerhave a flat tire,” he said.“This is especially true incases where the tire is dam-aged beyond what the tiresealant and pump systemscan repair.”
Nick Romito, an auto fi-nance underwriter fromAntioch, Ill., not far fromMilwaukee, said hewouldn’t buy a car withouta spare tire. “I don’t have alot of confidence in thosesealant products,” he said.His family recently boughttwo used Ford Fusion se-dans, both of which havespares, because Romitofears that the sealant couldfail after it’s squirted intothe tire and under pressurefrom compressed air.
Automakers, however,say the sealant is reliable,but they recommend check-ing a few miles after fixinga flat to see if the tire needsa little more air.
GM also recommendsthat people drive no more
than 100 miles before get-ting a sealed tire repaired.Cowger said drivers cantravel at normal highwayspeeds after sealing a leak.
Like it or not,automakers increasinglyare getting rid of spares asthey face pressure to meetstricter government fueleconomy regulations. By2025, the U.S. car andtruck fleet will have toaverage 54.5 miles per gal-lon under the standards,which are being phased ingradually. That’s aboutdouble what cars andtrucks now get.
According toEdmunds, just over 6 per-cent of all new car modelshad only the inflator kitsin 2009, but that more thandoubled by 2011.
“They need to find anyway they can to reduce theweight of the vehicle,which will in turn make itmore fuel efficient,”Montoya said.

LORAIN: National His-panic Heritage Month hasbegun. Lorain opened itscelebrations near Lake Eriewith the 3rd annual LorainCounty National HispanicHeritage Month Fest Cel-ebration, Sunday, Sept. 18,2011.
Organized by RichardRomero, magazine pub-lisher, editor and writer, andhis team, the festival paidtribute to all Latino cultureswith a great variety of ethniccuisine, music, dance, art andall culture. Romero saidroughly 1,500 people at-tended the festival Sundayat Lorain’s Lakeview Park.
“Everybody knowswhen it’s Black HistoryMonth,” Romero said “Butmany Latinos do not knowwhen it’s Hispanic HeritageMonth. That’s the reason Ido this every year. It’s ourmonth to highlight the greatcontributions of our com-munity and remember thegreat leaders who made adifference in this country.From folks in the Military toeducation to entertain-
ment.”Romero added “It’s tough
to do but it’s real important.We try to do it on one day, aSunday and we try to start at atime after most people havegone to church.”
National Hispanic HeritageMonth begins Sept. 15 andruns until Oct. 15 every year,and celebrates contributionsby Latinos whose ancestorscame from Spain, Mexico, theCaribbean, Central and SouthAmerica.
The dates were selectedbecause they coincide with anumber of Latin Americancountries’ dates of indepen-dence. The observation beganin 1968 as Hispanic HeritageWeek under President LyndonJohnson. It was expanded intothat 30-day period by Presi-dent Ronald Reagan in 1988,and was enacted into law onAugust 17, 1988.
September 15 was chosenas the start date because it is theanniversary of independencefor Latin American countriesCosta Rica, El Salvador, Gua-temala, Honduras, and Nicara-gua. Plus, Mexico and Chile
celebrate their independencedays on September 16 andSeptember18, respectively.Also, Columbus Day or Díade la Raza, on October 12,also falls within this 30 dayperiod.
The festival featured an artgallery displaying artwork forsale by Mexican and PuertoRican artists.
Romero said the festival isfunded by sponsorships andart sales.
Food was provided by thePuerto Rican Home and theMexican Mutual Society.
Romero said because hewants to help ethnic clubssurvive in the area, the ethnicclubs are not charged, and theyare able to collect 100 percentof the proceeds of their salesfor their own fundraisers.
This year, Romero joinedforces with the Puerto RicanClub’s leaders, and he pro-vided the cost for his eventand their event’s entertain-ment.
Entertainment this year in-cluded Mexican dance groupAlma de Mexico, and thePuerto Rican dance group
from Cleveland’sJulia de BurgosCenter, Isla delEncanto; and in-cluded musicalgroups, Boys deM e r e n g ü e ;Grupo LosMaximos, areggaeton groupfrom Lorain;Justo Saborit, aLatin Jazz Salsaband; and HiramY Su MamboSwing, that
played merengüe, bachata,salsa, and even songs in En-glish.
Romero said a hit with thecrowd was the song “PuertoRico,” by Grupo Los Maximos,their original song inspired bythe island’s people andstruggles.
“They wrote it after theytalked about what’s going on inPuerto Rico, what the islandneeds, and that those on themainland should not forgetabout the island. The song saysdon’t forget the people anddon’t forget your culture,”Romero said.
The Latino Heritage Festi-val in Lorain mostly spotlightedthe Mexican and Puerto Ricancommunities, but Romero saidhe is looking to further includethe other Latino cultures in thefuture. Romero asks anyone rep-resenting other Latino culturesto contact him to plan for nextyear, he said.
“A lot of people don’t havethe opportunity to go to PuertoRico or Mexico, so let’s bringthe culture to them,” Romerosaid.
He said he is grateful for theMetroParks, overseeingLakeview Park, and allowinghim to use their venue for theHispanic Heritage month cel-ebrations.
“We, Latinos, need to sup-port these events when theyhappen,” Romero said “TheHispanic community needs tohave events at places as beauti-ful as this, as the Lake. If wehave more Latinos from otherLatino cultures here next year,it will be an opportunity to at-tract tourism.”
