FPL urges Floridians to call 8-1-1 before digging

This free service can help you avoid accidents and outages caused by digging into underground equipment


JUNO BEACH, Fla., Aug. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Every eight minutes, someone in the U.S. damages an underground utility line – potentially causing injuries, power outages and environmental hazards. More than ninety-nine percent of these accidents can be avoided by calling 8-1-1 to have underground utilities marked. On this August 11 (8/11), and every day, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) urges Florida homeowners and contractors to call 8-1-1 at least two full business days before any digging project to help stay safe – it’s free, easy and the law requires it.

Each utility in the area will mark its lines with colored flags or paint to show you the approximate location of underground pipes, cables and lines. Remember to call at least two full business days in advance.

Arizona Tribal Gaming Tops $1 Billion in Shared Revenues with All Arizonans through the Arizona Benefits Fund

Arizona Tribal Gaming Tops $1 Billion in Shared Revenues with All Arizonans through the Arizona Benefits Fund


TEMPE, Arizona, Aug. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Valerie Spicer, Executive Director of the Arizona Indian Gaming Association (AIGA), announced today that Tribal Gaming has contributed more than $1 billion in shared Tribal gaming revenues to Arizona over the past 11 years. The historic achievement was recorded in the first quarter of FY 2015, according to the Arizona Department of Gaming. Tribal gaming revenue directly supports Arizona public and charter schools, trauma and emergency services, economic development through tourism, wildlife conservation, and cities and towns throughout the state.  

“In 2002, when the Tribal leaders envisioned how to share gaming revenues, they wanted to provide not only for their own people, but for everyone who calls our state home,” said Spicer. “Our culture teaches us to give back and help others. Through their wisdom the Leadership developed the Arizona Benefits Fund.”

Records published by the Arizona Department of Gaming show that Tribal contributions have continued, uninterrupted, even during the worst of the Great Recession. The first recorded year of funding is FY 2004.  Since that year, Tribal gaming has contributed nearly $430 million directly to Arizona’s school districts to support students and teachers, and approximately $215 million to more than 64 hospitals in Arizona to provide emergency and trauma services. Tourism and wildlife conservation have each received about $61.5 million, and cities and towns have received nearly $105 million.  According to Peter Rhee, M.D., Chief, Division of Trauma, Critical Care, Burn and Emergency Services, UA Department of Surgery, the trauma center in Tucson would not be where it is today without the money made available by Tribal Gaming dollars for trauma and ER services.  

“Shared gaming funds have provided a consistent and much needed source of revenue for Arizona,” said Sherry Cordova, Chairwoman of the Cocopah Tribe, who was a member of the Prop 202 AIGA Leadership. “It is remarkable to realize that Tribes have been able to give back more than $1 billion to our state. The Arizona Benefits Fund and Tribal Gaming have been more impactful than any of us could have imagined.”  

In addition to its impact through sharing revenues, Tribal gaming is a proven economic engine for the State. A statewide economic impact study of Indian gaming, commissioned by AIGA in 2012, verified that more than 15,000 people were directly employed in Indian gaming in Arizona and, when indirect jobs were added, that number exceeded 22,000.  Jonathan B. Taylor, author of the study, concluded that if tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Tribal gaming in Arizona would rank above Mining and Logging, making it the third largest industry sector in the State.  

Tribal gaming is working for Tribes by creating positive and lasting impacts that benefit current members and future generations. Gaming is a major source of employment for non-Tribal and Tribal people alike, especially in rural areas of the state where economic opportunities are limited. Because of gaming dollars, Tribal governments are addressing chronic reservation deficits in education, health, housing, public safety and infrastructure.  Tribal gaming also benefits Tribes who don’t engage in gaming through the negotiation of transfer agreements which provide much-needed revenue to fund those governments.  

“While the purpose of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act is to promote economic development and opportunities to increase self-sufficiency for the Tribes, the State also benefits from Tribal contributions that fund important programs,” said Dan Bergin, director of the Arizona Department of Gaming. “Passing the $1 billion threshold in contributions to Arizona is quite an achievement, and we congratulate the Tribes on reaching this milestone.”

Concluded Spicer, “Reaching the $1 billion mark is clearly significant; sharing revenues sets our industry apart.  Arizonans who need trauma care or have children in school, own businesses that rely on tourism, or revel in the natural beauty of our state, all benefit directly from Tribal gaming. It’s why we say, ‘It’s the Tribal in Tribal Gaming that makes the difference.'”    

The Arizona Indian Gaming Association has a membership of 18 tribes representing more than 90% of the Indian people living on reservations in Arizona. Current membership includes:  Ak-Chin Indian Community, Cocopah Indian Tribe, Colorado River Indian Tribes, Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, Fort Mojave Tribe, Fort Yuma Quechan Tribe, Gila River Indian Community, Havasupai Tribe, Hualapai Tribe, Kaibab-Paiute Tribe, Navajo Nation, Pascua Yaqui Tribe, Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, San Carlos Apache Tribe, Tohono O’odham Nation, White Mountain Apache Tribe, Yavapai-Apache Nation and Pueblo of Zuni.

“My childhood in Mexico was marked with sweet memories, many of which involved La Lechera. Today, I love making treats for my family with sweetened condensed milk, and they always taste better when I prepare them with a specific intention in mind. Whether it’s to teach my boys that compromise is sweet with a Marbled Tres Leches Cake or to help them wake up with Dulce de Leche Pancakes, La Lechera is part of our daily lives,” said Pati Jinich. “I’m very excited to share my appreciation for La Lechera with Latinas across the U.S. who also want to create recipes that bring everyday happiness to their loved ones.”

Every month between August 2014 and July 2015, the brand will share an exclusive two-minute video of Jinich presenting a new recipe and what her personal inspiration was for developing it for her family. The first clip features the Over-the-Top Choco Flan, Pati’s take on the Mexican staple Flan Imposible with bonus chocolate chunks, which she created to celebrate the extra effort her son put on a school project. This and the remaining clips and recipes will be shared and promoted across La Lechera’s digital assets (LaLechera.com, Facebook, Twitter and soon-to-launch YouTube), and Jinich’s online platforms (including her blog, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest).

Pati Jinich is a DC-based Mexican chef best known for her culinary show on PBS Pati’s Mexican Table, in which she combines personal stories from her life with the nuts-and-bolts of Mexican cuisine. In each episode, she invites viewers to travel with her to Mexico to visit with family and friends in the culinary world and then takes them back to her DC kitchen to teach them how easy and fun it is to make home-style Mexican food. As part of her partnership with La Lechera, Jinich will also make a series of online and offline appearances and incorporate La Lechera as a sponsor of the third season of Pati’s Mexican Table.

“We’re delighted to collaborate with Pati Jinich who not only brings incredible recipes to the table, but is able to personally connect with our consumers, most of whom, like her, are bicultural Latinas living in the U.S. Pati embodies our existing campaign which is anchored on the insight that Latina moms in the U.S. take cues from their Hispanic heritage and American lifestyles in order to create new traditions and experiences that will ensure a happy childhood for their children. We are fortunate that La Lechera is part of these sweet memories,” said Priscila Stanton, Marketing Manager for La Lechera at Nestlé USA.

The program, which is part of La Lechera’s larger “Recipes for Happiness” campaign that has been running since June 2012, will also be supported by digital and social media. Consumers and media are encouraged to follow along online via #LaLechera.

Former Clients of International Immigrants Foundation and International Professional Association May Be Eligible for Restitution

Former Clients of International Immigrants Foundation and International Professional Association May Be Eligible for Restitution


NEW YORK, Aug. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A $2.2 million Immigrant Restitution Fund has been created to provide restitution to former clients of the International Immigrants Foundation (IIF) and International Professional Association (IPA), two non-profit organizations operating in New York City that allegedly defrauded immigrants and engaged in the unauthorized practice of law.

To be considered for restitution, former clients who paid for or received legal services from IIF and/or IPA must submit a claim form by October 23, 2014. The New York Legal Assistance Group will administer the Immigrant Restitution Fund and evaluate claims and forward payments to former IIF Members and/or IPA clients who paid for or received legal services. For more information call the Fund Hotline at 212-514-4265 or go to: www.nylag.org/IPA.

In 2010 the New York State Office of the Attorney General filed a lawsuit against the International Immigrants Foundation and International Professional Association alleging that IIF and IPA misrepresented their ability and qualifications to provide immigration-related legal services, defrauded immigrants with false promises of citizenship and residency, engaged in the unauthorized practice of law, illegally charged excessive fees for services, and violated laws governing not-for-profit corporations.

The New York State Office of the Attorney General alleged that IIF lured immigrants to purchase “memberships” with the organization by promising members they would receive special privileges such as free or low cost legal fees. Once members requested legal representation, however, they were directed to IPA, where they were generally required to pay additional fees to have immigration papers prepared and filed—often by non-attorneys who were unqualified to do such work.

On May 29, 2013, the Court approved a Settlement Agreement between the Office of the Attorney General, Defendant Edward Juarez, and Defendants IIF and IPA. As a result of the settlement IIF and IPA were closed, and Defendant Juarez agreed that he would no longer provide immigration legal services or hold any position with financial responsibility for any non-profit in the State of New York.

Each year, the New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG) provides free civil legal services to over 75,000 New Yorkers who cannot afford private attorneys. Founded in 1990, NYLAG operates on the premise that low-income individuals can improve their lives significantly if given access to the justice system. NYLAG’s Immigrant Protection Unit, one of the largest immigrant services providers in New York State, provides low-income immigrant communities with comprehensive legal services, and educates immigrant communities about the dangers of fraudulent immigration law practitioners and other barriers to attaining lawful residence.

Gift of Hope Celebrates National Minority Donor Awareness Week With “Faces of Hope” Awards

Awards Ceremony To Celebrate High Donor Authorization Rate Among Latinos and Recognize Key Contributors  


CHICAGO, Aug. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network kicked off National Minority Donor Awareness week, (August 1-7), with the inaugural “Faces of Hope” Awards ceremony on July 31st. The “Faces of Hope” distinction was awarded to Chicago city officials and professionals who through their work have delivered long-term benefits to Hispanics and to the area of organ donation and transplantation. During this week, Gift of Hope will also honor the generosity of multicultural donors and their families. As part of the event, Fernando Martinez’ poignant testimony about how his wife and Heroine saved his life, underscored the critical need for Latinos to register their decision to save lives through organ and tissue donation.

“Now more than ever, Hispanics are demonstrating a greater understanding about the facts and benefits surrounding organ donation. The donor authorization rate among Latinos in Illinois is a remarkable 80% making it one of the highest in the country.” Raiza Mendoza, Manager of Hispanic Affairs for Gift of Hope. “This is due in part to Gift of Hope’s continuous efforts to provide information through testimonials, educational initiatives, programs and community events,” concluded Mendoza.

Additionally, recent historic legislative and medical milestones like SB0741 – TVDL y SB0957 – Medicare & Medicaid alignment, provide greater opportunities for Latinos to register their decisions to be organ donors and gain access to organ transplantation. This is why Gift of Hope is honoring the contributions and achievements of State Senator, 20th District, Iris Y. Martinez, State Representative, 24th District, Elizabeth “Lisa” Hernandez, State Representative, 4th District, Cynthia Soto, State Representative, 2nd District, Edward “Eddie” Acevedo, State Representative, 39th District, Maria Antonia “Toni” Berrios, Dr. David Ansell, Senior Vice President, Clinical Affairs and Chief Medical Officer at Rush University Medical Center, Dr. Jose Oberholzer MD, University of Illinois Hospital & Health Sciences System, Andrés Jaramillo Ph.D., Director of the Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics Laboratory at Gift of Hope, Jose R. Sanchez, President & CEO, Norwegian American Hospital, Juan Zavala, President of Latinos for Health, and Vicente Serrano, Producer and Journalist, “Sin Censura” Radio and TV.

“The noteworthy work and accomplishments of these extraordinary individuals has impacted thousands of Latinos and has left a positive and lasting imprint on the landscape of organ and tissue donation in Chicago for years to come, making them truly ‘Faces of Hope’,” said Kevin Cmunt, Gift of Hope’s President/CEO. “We look forward to continue our work together to enrich the lives of the people in our communities,” concluded Cmunt.

Gift of Hope’s efforts in the Latino community have been increasingly fruitful, however the shortage of Hispanic organ donors remains critical and as the community continues to grow, so will the need for donors. The average number of people who die each year before they can receive a lifesaving organ transplant is nearly 11,000 – or 30 people every day. Dr. Christopher Barry, a transplant surgeon and researcher says, “This is the equivalent of 22 jumbo jets crashing every year with no survivors.” Sadly, the solution to this alarming number of deaths lies in the willingness of every person to become an organ donor.

Organ and tissue donation represents the opportunity to walk away from indifference and brings us closer to ease the suffering of those that are most vulnerable, giving them the gift of hope and life. For more information about organ donation visit: www.giftofhope.org/espanol.

Montejo Brings Its Authentic Mexican Flavor To The United States

Anheuser-Busch to Import Mexican Lager to Southwest Markets Beginning Sept. 1


ST. LOUIS, Aug. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Beer drinkers in the southwestern United States can quench their thirst for a unique, refreshing and authentic Mexican lager when Montejo arrives at bars, restaurants and at grocery and convenience stores in September. Anheuser-Busch will import Montejo – a golden lager beer with more than 100 years of Mexican brewing tradition. The launch of Montejo marks the first import from Mexico to the United States by Anheuser-Busch.

With origins in Mexicos’s Merida, Yucatan, Montejo is brewed at Cerveceria Modelo S. de R.L. de C.V. in Tuxtepec, Oaxaca, Mexico. Perfect for parties and outdoor refreshment, Montejo is best enjoyed in a wide-mouthed glass and pairs well with Mexican cuisine. “Our brewmasters have perfected the Montejo recipe using time-honored Mexican brewing traditions. The result is a bright, smooth and full-flavored lager with a crisp finish,” said Cesar Enrique Lopez Pineda, Montejo head brewmaster. “It’s an honor to make this regional favorite available to beer drinkers outside of Mexico for the first time.”

According to Ryan Garcia, Anheuser-Busch vice president of regional marketing, “Mexican beers account for nearly 60 percent of imports, and we are responding to consumer demand for an authentic and distinctly Mexican lager. “Anheuser-Busch will put muscle behind Montejo’s launch in California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas with an integrated advertising and marketing campaign that includes Hispanic targeted radio, digital, print, experiential and outdoor advertising. Los Angeles, Houston and San Antonio residents will also catch a glimpse of one of Mexico City’s most iconic images – classic VW Beetle “vocho” taxicabs – delivering Montejo samples to legal-age adults during various local events and festivals.

Montejo local market launch activities will pay homage to the brand’s deep heritage and personality. In Los Angeles, Montejo will sponsor the GRAMMY® award-winning Los Tigres del Norte  – a norteno-style ensemble band based in California. The band will be honored Aug. 21 with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and a VIP after-party where guests will enjoy Montejo as the exclusive beer sponsor.

Montejo contains 4.5 percent alcohol by volume (ABV) and will initially be available in packs of 12 12-ounce cans and six 12-ounce bottles.

For more information on Montejo, visit www.CervezaMontejo.com.
