Worldwide exclusive from HOLA! USA: The romantic wedding of Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva
NEW YORK, May 23, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva have finally tied the knot. The Hollywood superstar and the gorgeous Spaniard married in early April in the Civil Registry, but the real celebration, accompanied by their relatives, took place at his fantastic ranch outside of New York City.
Photos can be seen exclusively on HOLA.com and in the digital magazine edition available on Google Play and the App Store. In the feature, for the first time and by their own account, the couple shares their love story and exclusive photographs of the three dresses worn by the bride, their Buddhist ceremony and their magical celebration steeped in Spanish flair.
It was in 2014 in Positano, on the Amalfi Coast (Italy), when Richard Gere appeared in the exclusive, family-owned hotel managed by the Spanish beauty. Since then, neither distance (he lived in New York and she lived in Madrid), nor the divorce proceedings in which both were immersed, nor the 33 year age difference between them were an obstacle in their relationship. Now, on the shores of the idyllic lake on his ranch, the couple has exchanged “I do’s”. A magical celebration available exclusively on HOLA.com and the digital magazine edition available on Google Play and the App Store.
The star of “An Officer and a Gentleman” and “Pretty Woman” spoke to HOLA! USA of his love story with his now wife. “I am the happiest man in the universe. How could I not be? Alejandra is beautiful, smart, sensitive, fun…and she’s Spanish! The land of kings and queens, the land of Cervantes and Buñuel, unsurpassed!” said the actor.
Alejandra Silva also reveals about her relationship with the actor: “I’m so in love…every morning he asks, ‘what would make you happy today?’ What’s more romantic than a man who composes songs about you every day?”

CPSC Urges Riders to Keep All-Terrain Vehicles Off Roads in New Public Service Announcement
WASHINGTON, May 23, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — As Memorial Day weekend approaches and the ATV riding season begins, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is launching a new public service announcement, urging riders to keep all ATVs – OFF paved public roads. Every year, there are about 650 deaths and 100,000 injuries involving ATVs, according to CPSC’s Annual Report.

“Even if your county or town law permits ATVs to be driven on paved public roads, we urge you to take caution and keep your ATVs off these roads,” says Ann Marie Buerkle, CPSC Acting Chairman. “Off-road vehicles are not designed to be driven on paved surfaces, and collisions with cars and other on-road vehicles can be deadly for ATV operators.”
Nearly one-third (32%) of reported deaths, or at least 770 deaths (during a four-year period from 2010 to 2013*), were related to incidents involving ATVs being ridden on paved roads or parking lots. It’s important for every rider at every age to know:
- Off-road vehicles are designed to be driven only on off-road terrain, not paved surfaces.
- Off-road vehicles are difficult to control on paved surfaces and are at-risk of overturning.
- On paved roads, off-road vehicles are at a higher risk of colliding with cars, trucks and other vehicles.
- In many states, it is illegal to ride off-road vehicles on paved roads.
More than 2,400 deaths related to ATVs were reported for the four-year period from 2010 to 2013,* for all surface types, including paved surfaces. An estimated 430,000 ATV-related injuries were treated in emergency rooms during this same period.
In addition to knowing the dangers of riding on paved surfaces, all riders should always follow the safety tips below when operating an off-road vehicle:
- Always wear a helmet and other protective gear, such as eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt.
- Never ride with more passengers than there are seats. Most ATVs are designed for one rider.
- Get hands-on training from a qualified instructor.
- Riders younger than 16 should only drive age-appropriate youth model ATVs, never adult ATVs.

*Reporting for 2014-2017 is ongoing.

More Babies Being Born Too Soon For Third Year In A Row, Report Shows; March Of Dimes Says Trend Is An Alarming Indicator Of Worsening Health Of Moms And Babies In The U.S.
WHITE PLAINS, New York, May 23, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — New data from the federal government shows that the health of pregnant women and babies in the U.S. is getting worse, March of Dimes says. The organization says there is an urgent need for new solutions to address this alarming trend.
The CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics recently released provisional birth data that show that the preterm birth rate rose to 9.93 percent in 2017, up from 9.86 in 2016. This marks the third consecutive increase in preterm births after steady declines over the previous seven years. The preterm birth rate increased among non-Hispanic black women and Hispanic women, while the rate among non-Hispanic white women was essentially unchanged.
“Moms and babies are facing an urgent health crisis in this country,” says Stacey D. Stewart, president of March of Dimes. “Preterm birth and its complications is the greatest contributor to the death of babies before their first birthday and a leading cause of lifelong disabilities. No family should have to experience loss or the challenges that come with having a baby born too soon. The fact that more and more families are being affected by preterm birth is troubling.”
Ms. Stewart noted that persistent underlying racial and ethnic disparities play a role in preterm birth. “It is unacceptable that women of color and their babies are disproportionately impacted by preterm birth. It is unacceptable that women of color are 20 percent more likely to give birth prematurely and their children face a 40 percent higher infant death rate. March of Dimes work to give every baby a healthy start is more vital than ever.”
“While we are troubled to see this trend in preterm birth, the release of this data could not be more timely. Yesterday March of Dimes concluded its two day Prematurity Prevention Summit, bringing together 300 of the top organizations in maternal and child health. If we’re going to give every baby the best possible start and reverse this trend, it will take a collective effort including communities, government and the healthcare sectors,” Ms. Stewart says.
Convening at the March of Dimes Prematurity Prevention Summit were members of the organization’s Prematurity Campaign Collaborative, which aims to achieve equity and demonstrated improvements in preterm birth.
“Nearly 400,000 babies – about 1 in 10 – are born preterm each year. And while the preterm birth rate has been increasing among all racial and ethnic groups, some have been hit harder than others,” said Dr. Wanda Barfield, Director of the Division of Reproductive Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and a co-chair of the Collaborative Steering Committee. “Now is a pivotal time to do more for those at greatest risk.”
“Births: Provisional Data for 2017,” by Brady E. Hamilton et al. was published in May 2018 by the National Center for Health Statistics and is available online at: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/vsrr/report004.pdf

New campaign looking to save lives in aquatic activities
WASHINGTON, May 22, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Hispanic Communications Network / La Red Hispana and the Water Sports Foundation (WSF) announced today, for the second consecutive year, the launch of their partnership via a national multimedia campaign in the United States and Puerto Rico to help reduce preventable water sports accidents among Latinos and Latinas, and inspire a culture of boating safety among the Spanish-speaking public of all ages.
Using radio public service announcements (PSAs) via HCN’s La Red Hispana national radio affiliate network and social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, the campaign seeks to emphasize the importance of using the life jackets while creating awareness about the risks of alcohol use during water sports activities and the importance of frequent equipment inspection.
“Life jackets still have a stigma of resistance attached to them, and that is why this campaign has a clear and simple message: Vests save lives. But for this it is necessary to use them at all times and in the appropriate manner,” said Alison Rodden, CEO of Hispanic Communications Network.
In 2016, the sports world was shocked by the unfortunate demise of young Cuban baseball promise Jose Fernandez who died during a nighttime accident at sea when his boat crashed at more than 65 mph. Neither he nor any of his companions wore life jackets and had consumed alcohol.
Despite high-profile accidents, surveys show many people still resist the use of the life jackets, even though new advances make them less restrictive. Among Latinos the situation is more serious, because a considerable percentage does not know how to swim. Figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicate more than 60% of Latino children and 70% of African-American children do not know how to swim.
“Unfortunately, an overwhelming number of deaths in water sports activities share the same element of risk: The victims did not wear a life jacket when they fell into the water due to some unforeseen circumstance. We must do everything possible because the public has the information to try and avoid injuries or fatal outcomes,” said Jim Emmons of WSF.
The popularization of boating, especially paddle-boarding, has resulted in recent years in an increase in accidents, which in turn has increased the need for water sport public awareness, and for the public to take courses about safety in boats, canoes and all types of watercraft. “Boating Safety education needs to be offered at little or no cost to encourage participation by the entire family,” said Henry Cespedes, spokesperson for the campaign, educator and member of the USCG Auxiliary.
Over the course of two weeks, the new campaign of HCN/La Red Hispana and WSF will make informational resources available to the Latino community to help prevent water recreation from becoming a calamity.
