Inauguración de tres días EDITORIAL | EDITORIAL
Cambio de localidad de la Ceremonia
Debido a la inminente caída de nieve
al final de la semana, el alcalde electo Dan
Rivera convocó una reunión de emergencia
con los jefes de departamentos de la ciudad.
Después de consultar con el jefe de policía
interino James Fitzpatrick, el jefe de bomberos
Jack Bergeron, el director interino del DPW
John Isensee, y el Director de Instalaciones
del Departamento Escolar Chris Merlino,
el alcalde electo Rivera decidió realizar la
ceremonia de inauguración bajo techo”. “La
seguridad de los residentes de Lawrence
es nuestra primera prioridad”, dijo Rivera.
“Queremos garantizar la aplicación de un
exitoso plan de retiro de nieve para despejar
las calles antes de exponer a los residentes a
participar en actividades al aire libre. “
El alcalde electo Rivera, junto con los
jefes de departamentos, actualmente están
trabajando en la logística para enfrentar la
próxima tormenta de nieve. Se están haciendo
planes para despejar las calles de toda la
ciudad, para facilitar a los residentes realizar
sus rutinas diarias. De igual modo, se sugiere
a los residentes palear el frente de sus casas
y observar la prohibición de estacionamiento
de la ciudad, que será puesta en ejecución en
su totalidad. Para obtener más información
sobre la prohibición de estacionamiento,
favor de visitar la página web de la ciudad.
La Ceremonia de Inauguración ahora
se llevará a cabo en el auditorio del North
Common Education Complex (antigua High
School de Lawrence, ubicado en Haverhill
St.) La Senadora de EE.UU. Elizabeth
Warren tomará el juramento al nuevo alcalde
Rivera. Esta ceremonia es abierta al público
y la prensa, y se les anima a todos a participar
en la celebración. El Comité de Inauguración
aún está solicitando a los asistentes llevar una
frazada, las cuales serán donadas a familias
de escasos recursos. Todas las demás
festividades de inauguración continúan
igual como habían sido programadas. A
continuación el Programa de Eventos:
Ceremonia de Inauguración
Viernes, 3 de enero 2014 al mediodía 12:00M

de Lawrence ubicada en el 233 de la calle
Haverhill y que actualmente se conoce como
el North Common Education Complex. Como
parte de la actividad denominada “Traiga

de Inauguración aún está solicitando a los
asistentes llevar una frazada, las cuales serán
donadas a familias de escasos recursos.

ahora tiene la ciudad.
Inauguration lasting 3 days
Inauguration Ceremony Location Changed
Due to the impending snowfall at the
end of the week, Mayor-Elect Dan Rivera
called for an emergency meeting with city
department heads. After consulting with
Acting Police Chief James Fitzpatrick, Fire
Chief Jack Bergeron, Acting DPW Director
John Isensee, and Director of Facilities
for the School Department Chris Merlino,
Mayor-Elect Rivera decided to move the
Inauguration ceremony indoors. “The
safety of Lawrence residents is our first
priority,” said Rivera. “We want to ensure
the implementation of a successful snow
removal plan to clear our streets before
residents venture outdoors.” Mayor-Elect
Rivera, along with the department heads,
are currently working on the logistics
for the upcoming snow event. Plans are
being made to clear roads throughout the
city, making it easier for residents to go
about their daily routines. Residents are
encouraged to shovel the walk-ways in
front of their homes and observe the city
parking ban, which will be I full effect. For
more information on the parking ban, visit
the city’s website.
The Inauguration Ceremony will now
be held at The North Common Education
Complex (former Lawrence High School,
183 Haverhill St.) in the auditorium. U.S.
Senator Elizabeth Warren will be delivering
the ceremonial oath of office. This ceremony
is still open to the public and press, and all
are encouraged to join in the celebration.
The Inauguration Committee is still asking
those in attendance to bring a blanket to
be donated to families in need. All other
Inauguration festivities are continuing as
planned. A schedule reflecting the change
of the ceremony is below. Recap of events
include:
Inauguration Ceremony: Friday, January 3, 2014 at Noon
Location: The North Common Education
Complex (former Lawrence High School,
183 Haverhill St.) As part of the theme,
“Bring a Blanket, Leave a Blanket,” guests
are asked to bring a blanket to the ceremony
to be donated to families in need.

Rumbo se expande
E
l año 2013 ha sido un año maravilloso para Rumbo y tenemos grandes
expectativas para el 2014, por lo que hemos decidido expandirnos.
Y todo esto se lo debemos, primero a nuestros fieles anunciantes y
segundo al público que nos sigue cada semana en busca de información
verídica.
Comenzando con esta edición y con nuestros anunciantes y lectores
en mente, estamos introduciendo ciertos cambios que ampliarán nuestra
distribución en beneficio de todos.
Por más de 17 años hemos impreso y distribuido dos ediciones
diferentes. Una el 1ro y el 15 de cada mes con el nombre de Rumbo en rojo
que le llamamos Edición Regional, y otra con el nombre de Rumbo en azul
que se imprime el 8 y el 22 de cada mes, a la que llamamos Edición Local.
La diferencia entre ambas era la distribución. La Edición Roja se
distribuye en Lawrence, Methuen, Andover, North Andover, Haverhill y
Lowell en Massachusetts y Salem, Nashua y Manchester en New Hampshire.
La Edición Azul se distribuía en Lawrence, Methuen, Haverhill, Andover y
North Andover.
Comenzando el 1ro de enero, 2014, no habrá más Edición Azul.
Esta se convertirá en edición Regional, seguirá imprimiéndose los días 8
y 22 de cada mes pero con el nombre de Rumbo en Rojo y ampliará su
distribución a Lowell en Massachusetts y Salem, Nashua y Manchester en
New Hampshire.
Estamos convencidos de que esta ampliación llevará el mensaje de
nuestros anunciantes a sitios que antes no alcanzaban resultando beneficioso
para todos.
¡Un Feliz y Saludable Año Nuevo para todos!
Rumbo is expanding
T
he year 2013 has been a wonderful year for Rumbo and having high
expectations for 2014, we have decided to expand. All of this we
owe to our advertisers first and second to our faithful readers who
follow us every week looking for accurate information.
Starting with this issue and with our advertisers and readers in mind,
we are introducing some changes that will expand our distribution for the
benefit of all.
For over 17 years we have printed and distributed two different editions.
Every 1st and 15th of each month with the name of Rumbo in red, we
printed what is called the Regional Edition and another one with the name
of Rumbo in blue, printed on the 8th and the 22nd of each month, which is
call the Local Edition.
The difference between them was the distribution. The Red Edition has
been distributed in Lawrence, Methuen, Andover, North Andover, Haverhill
and Lowell in Massachusetts and Salem, Nashua and Manchester in New
Hampshire. The Blue edition was distributed in Lawrence, Methuen,
Haverhill, Andover and North Andover.
Beginning with the New Year, there will be no more Blue Edition. This will
become Regional Edition, and it will be printed on the 8th and 22nd of each
month with the name Rumbo in red and it will be also distributed in Lowell,
Massachusetts and Salem, Nashua and Manchester in New Hampshire.
We believe that with this expansion, carrying the message of our advertisers
to sites never reached before will prove to be beneficial for all.
Happy and Healthy New Year for All!

New tax return preparers who are
obtaining a first-time PTIN must create an
online PTIN account as a first step and then
follow directions to obtain a PTIN. Their
fee is $64.25.
The annual PTIN requirement is part
of the IRS’s ongoing effort to enhance tax
administration and improve services to
taxpayers.
There are approximately 700,000 tax
preparers with 2013 PTINs. More than
400,000 have already renewed their PTIN,
plus more than 25,000 have obtained a firsttime PTIN for 2014.
RESPONSABILIDAD:
El
seguro
conocido como “liability” lo protege
si alguien se lastima en su propiedad
o en su negocio. Si usted alquila, el
propietario querrá que usted tenga seguro
de responsabilidad civil y el nombre
como asegurado adicional. Si usted
vende comida, un producto o servicio,
el seguro de responsabilidad civil es
muy importante. Si usted es propietario
y alquila, el seguro de “liability” es
necesario para protegerlo de demandas de
inquilinos y se requiere para la Sección
VIII de los inquilinos. Los contratistas
lo necesitan para proteger a sus clientes.
Muchas ciudades y pueblos requieren
Certificados de Seguros de los contratistas
cuando solicitan permisos.
INCENDIO/PELIGROS: Si usted pide
prestado dinero para iniciar su negocio o
comprar un inmueble, el banco requerirá
que usted tenga seguro contra incendios
(igual que cuando usted pide prestado
para comprar una casa).
ROBO: La cobertura de robo por lo
general se puede adquirir junto con el
seguro contra incendios. A menudo es
necesario contar con una alarma antirrobo
para comprar cobertura de robo.
TRABAJADORES DE COMPENSACIÓN: Si usted decide contratar a alguien
o tiene familia que ayuda, es necesario
adquirir un seguro de indemnización
laboral. Esto protege al trabajador si se
lesionan en el trabajo. No sólo son los
gastos médicos pagados, sino los salarios
también se pagan al empleado lesionado
en caso de tener que faltar al trabajo. El
costo se basa en el tipo de negocio y la
nómina real. Las empresas deben adquirir
esta cobertura. Empresas LLC y los
propietarios no tienen que protegerse a sí
mismos, pero deben comprar una póliza
para los trabajadores que contratan.

entonces usted necesita para asegurarse

with him, just fill out the application.
More than 10,000 people responded
to his offer, some were customers, but not
all. When Larry F. Giordano, who was

Reseña literaria
My Lost Cuba (Mi Cuba Perdida)
Publicado en inglés solamente
Por Susan St. Marie
A través de los años, mientras que mi
familia y yo nos sentábamos a hablar sobre
la vida en Cuba y la posibilidad de viajar al
país, mi padre a menudo decía que nunca
volvería a visitar hasta que Castro hubiese
muerto. Que no había manera de que fuera
sabiendo que su dinero va a ese gobierno.
Si bien he entendido sus sentimientos
hacia el régimen comunista de Castro,
nunca pude comprender plenamente por qué
se sentía así, después de todo yo había visto
a Cuba sólo de una forma durante toda mi
vida. A menudo me he preguntado por qué
no le gustaría volver y ver qué había sido de
su país de origen, ¿por qué no iba a querer
compartir esa parte de su vida conmigo.
En 2000 tuve la oportunidad de viajar
hasta allá con mi madre y ver de primera
instancia cómo es la vida en Cuba. Aunque
tuve la oportunidad de ver cómo la gente
vivía con la comida racionada, reciclando
piezas para autos y otros dispositivos,
también pensé que tal vez, sólo tal vez
podría haber algunos aspectos positivos en
el comunismo. Después de todo, el pueblo
tenía derecho a una educación, vivienda
y atención médica gratuita. Pero, ¿es
realmente gratis? ¿Y a qué precio?
Celso González-Falla nos lleva a esa
era en su novela, Mi Cuba Perdida, al 1958,
el último año de la dictadura de Fulgencio
Batista para mostrarnos una época donde
florecieron las fincas de propiedad
privada, los caballos fueron criados para
exhibiciones, y la gente viajaba libremente.
Mike Rodríguez, el hijo de Don Miguel
es llamado de vuelta a la finca de su familia
mientras estudiaba en los Estados Unidos.
Si bien Don Miguel se mantiene lejos de los
trabajadores de su finca, Mike nos muestra
la vida de los trabajadores así como la vida
en Cuba y en la granja.
Mi Cuba Perdida no sólo nos lleva
a la Ciudad de La Habana, sino a las
provincias del país, en una exploración de
Camagüey. Irónicamente, este es el lugar
donde mi padre se crió y tenía una granja
con su familia. González-Falla también
habla de las diferencias y los cambios entre
las generaciones y la política ha plagado
al país, con la historia terminando el 31
de diciembre, el día antes de que Castro
tomara el poder.
En 1960 Celso González-Falla luchaba
clandestinamente contra el régimen de
Castro. Para evitar ser detenido, pidió asilo
político en la Embajada de Chile en abril
de 1961 después de la invasión de Bahía de
Cochinos. Salió de Cuba en junio llegando
a Texas.
González-Falla escribió My Lost Cuba
porque tiene hijos que nacieron en Cuba
y en los Estados Unidos y él quería que
tuvieran una idea clara de Cuba antes que
Castro la cambió.
Si bien hay muchos libros sobre Cuba
antes de la toma de posesión de Castro,
ninguno cuenta la historia real en formato
de novela de la forma que Gonzalez-Falla
la presenta.
Mientras que su libro carece de
trama, que es una parte importante de
cualquier novela, es un importante libro
que debe ser leído de manera que todos
podamos comprender y tener una idea de
lo que las generaciones mayores están
describiéndonos. Se trata de un libro
que tan descriptivamente nos habla de la
vida antes de Castro, una vida que era tan
amada y apreciada que creo que nuestros
parientes mayores pueden tener dificultades
transmitiéndolo a las generaciones más
jóvenes.
Es debido a este libro que por fin
puedo entender lo que mi padre ha estado
tratando de decirme todos estos años y es mi
esperanza que los cambios de Raúl Castro
ha venido implementando poco a poco me
darán la oportunidad de viajar hasta allá una
vez más para tener la oportunidad de verlo a
través de los ojos de mi padre.

Throughout the years while my family
and I would sit around talking about life
in Cuba and traveling to the country, my
dad would often say that he would never
go back to visit until Castro was dead.
That there was no way he would go there
knowing that his money would be going to
that government.
While I understood his feelings towards
Castro’s Communist Regime, I could never
fully understand where he was coming from,
having only seen Cuba one way throughout
my whole life. I had often wondered why
he wouldn’t want to go back and see what
had become of his home country, why he
wouldn’t want to share that part of his life
with me.
In 2000 I had the opportunity to travel
there with my mother to see firsthand what
life is like in Cuba. While I was able to
see how people lived by rationing food,
recycling broken parts for cars and other
appliances, I also thought that maybe, just
maybe there might be some positive aspects
to communism. After all, everyone was
entitled to a free education, housing and
medical care. But is it really free? And at
what expense?
Celso Gonzalez-Falla takes us back
in his novel, My Lost Cuba, to 1958, the
last year of Fulgencio Batista’s dictatorship
to show us a time where farms flourished
under private ownership, horses were bred
for show, and people traveled freely.
Mike Rodriguez, Don Miguel’s son
is called back to his family farm while
studying abroad in the States. While Don
Miguel is distant from the workers of his
farm, Mike takes us into the lives of the
workers and life in Cuba and on the farm.
My Lost Cuba doesn’t just take us into
the City of La Habana, but into the provinces
of the country onto a farm in Camaguey.
Ironically this is where my dad was raised
and had a farm with his family. GonzalezFalla also talks about the differences and
changes between the generations and the
politics being plagued to the country, with
the story ending December 31, the day
before Castro takes power.
In 1960 Celso Gonzalez-Falla was
underground against the Castro regime.
To avoid arrest he sought political asylum
in April of 1961 after Bay of Pigs at the
Chilean Embassy. He left Cuba that June
and went on to Texas.
Gonzalez-Falla wrote My Lost Cuba
because he has children who were born
both in Cuba and in The United States and
he wanted them to have a clear picture of
Cuba before Castro changed it.
While there are many books out there
about Cuba prior to Castro’s takeover, none
bring out the factual history in novel format
the way Gonzalez-Falla lays it out.
While his book lacks plot which is
an important part of any novel, it’s an
important book that should be read so that
we can all realize and get a feel for what the
older generations are describing to us. This
is a book that so descriptively tells us about
life before Castro, a life that was so loved
and cherished that I feel our older relatives
may have a hard time conveying to younger
generations.
It’s because of this book that I can
finally understand what my dad has been
trying to convey to me all these years and
it is my hope that the changes Raul Castro
has been slowly implementing will give me
the opportunity to travel there once again to
have the chance to see it through my dad’s
eyes.

Mark Twain once advised people
to “Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Americans today have taken that
advice to heart, and are visiting places
around the globe–often for vacations, and
sometimes to relocate in another country.
If you are one of these people and receive
Social Security benefits, we offer a special
website: “Social Security Payments
Outside the United States.” Here you can
find answers to such questions as “will my
Social Security payments be affected? Do
I have to let Social Security know I’m out
of the country? When should I do it? What
happens if I need to contact Social Security
while I am out of the country?”
You can find answers to all of these
questions and others at www.socialsecurity.
gov/international/payments.html.
The
website features a “Payments Abroad
Screening Tool”, which asks you a few short
questions to determine if your payments
can continue.
The page also offers links to
publications, such as Your Payments While
You Are Outside The United States, which
explains how your benefits may be affected
and other important information you need
to know about receiving Social Security
benefits while outside the country.
And one more important point to note.
If you receive Social Security benefits as a
dependent or survivor there are additional
United States residency requirements that
may affect your benefit payments while you
are outside the United States.
It also is important to note that
there are different provisions for anyone
Scott Bishop from 21 Wood Lane
receiving Supplemental Security Income
(SSI) benefits. Once you have been outside
the United States for 30 or more days in a
row, your SSI cannot start again until you
have been back in the country for at least
30 consecutive days. There are special rules
for dependent children of military personnel
who leave the United States and exceptions
for students studying abroad.
“The Bilingual Newspaper of the Merrimack Valley”
So if you receive Social Security or SSI
benefits and are planning to travel or live
outside the United States, you’ll first want
to pay a visit to www.socialsecurity.gov/

La Temporada Tributaria del
2014 Tax Season to Open
2014 Iniciará a Partir del 31 de
Enero; e-file y Free File Pueden Jan. 31; e-file and Free File
Can Speed Refunds
Acelerar los Reembolsos
El Servicio de Impuestos Internos (IRS,
por sus siglas en inglés) anunció planes para
iniciar la temporada de impuestos del 2014
el 31 de enero y exhortó a los contribuyentes
a presentar sus declaraciones de impuestos
usando e-file o Free File, ya que así recibirán
más rápidamente sus reembolsos.
La nueva fecha de apertura para que
las personas presenten sus declaraciones de
impuestos del 2013, le dará al IRS suficiente
tiempo para programar y probar los sistemas
de procesamiento de impuestos. El proceso
anual para la actualización de los sistemas
del IRS se retrasó tras el cierre del gobierno
federal de 16 días.
“Nuestra fuerza laboral ha estado
trabajando
arduamente
durante
el
otoño para prepararse para la próxima
temporada de impuestos”, dijo Danny
Werfel, Comisionado Interino del IRS. “La
apertura tardía de enero nos da suficiente
tiempo para programar, probar y autenticar
nuestros sistemas. Es un proceso complejo,
y nuestra meta es proveer una temporada de
impuestos y reembolsos libre de problemas
para los contribuyentes de la nación”.
El cierre del gobierno ocasionó que el
IRS cambiara la fecha original de apertura
del 21 de enero al 31 de enero del 2014.
La fecha del 2014 es un día más tarde de
cuando inició la temporada de impuestos
del 2013, la cual empezó el 30 de enero,
después de los cambios tributarios de ley
efectuados por el Congreso el primero de
enero bajo el Acta Americana de Alivio a
los Contribuyentes (ATRA, por su siglas
en inglés). El extenso conjunto de cambios
tributarios de ATRA afectó muchas de las
declaraciones de impuestos del 2012, a
causa de la apertura tardía de enero.
El IRS señaló que hay varias opciones
disponibles para ayudar a los contribuyentes
a prepararse para la temporada de impuestos
del 2014 y así obtener sus reembolsos
de la manera más fácil posible. Nueva
información de planificación de impuestos
de fin de año fue añadida a IRS.gov esta
semana.
Además, se espera que muchas
compañías de software comiencen a aceptar
declaraciones de impuestos en enero y las
detengan hasta que los sistemas de IRS
abran el 31 de enero. Más detalles estarán
disponibles en enero.
El IRS advirtió que no procesará
declaraciones de impuestos antes del 31 de
enero, lo que significa que no hay ninguna
ventaja para presentar declaración en
papel antes de la fecha de apertura. Los
contribuyentes recibirán sus reembolsos
más rápido usando e-file o Free File con la
opción de depósito directo.
La fecha límite oficial para presentar
su declaración de impuestos está
establecida por ley y se mantendrá en
efecto. Sin embargo, el IRS recuerda a
los contribuyentes que cualquier persona
puede solicitar una extensión automática de
seis meses para presentar su declaración de
impuestos. La solicitud se hace fácilmente
mediante el formulario 4868, y puede ser
presentada electrónicamente o en papel.
Los sistemas de proceso del IRS;
aplicaciones y base de datos deben
actualizarse anualmente para reflejar los
cambios en la ley de impuestos, cambios
en gestión de proceso de negocio, y
actualizaciones de programación a
tiempo para el inicio de la temporada de
impuestos.
El cierre del gobierno llegó durante
el período culminante para preparar los
sistemas de programación del IRS para la
temporada de impuestos del 2014. Las
pruebas de programación, y despliegue de
más de 50 sistemas del IRS son necesarios
para manejar el proceso de cerca de 150
millones de declaraciones de impuestos.
La actualización de los sistemas centrales
es un proceso complejo de todo el año, con
la mayoría del trabajo comenzando en el
otoño.
Alrededor del 90 por ciento de las
operaciones principales del IRS estuvieron
cesadas durante el cierre del gobierno,
cerrando el flujo de trabajo por completo
durante este período y atrasando al IRS a
casi tres semanas de su ocupada agenda
para estar listos a iniciar la temporada de
impuestos del 2014. Existen requisitos de
capacitación adicional, programación y
pruebas a los sistemas del IRS con el fin
de poder detector el fraude de reembolso y
robo de identidad.

The Internal Revenue Service today
announced plans to open the 2014 filing
season on Jan. 31 and encouraged taxpayers
to use e-file or Free File as the fastest way to
receive refunds.
The new opening date for individuals
to file their 2013 tax returns will allow the
IRS adequate time to program and test its
tax processing systems. The annual process
for updating IRS systems saw significant
delays in October following the 16-day
federal government closure.
“Our teams have been working
hard throughout the fall to prepare for
the upcoming tax season,” IRS Acting
Commissioner Danny Werfel said. “The late
January opening gives us enough time to get
things right with our programming, testing
and systems validation. It’s a complex
process, and our bottom-line goal is to
provide a smooth filing and refund process
for the nation’s taxpayers.”
The government closure meant the IRS
had to change the original opening date
from Jan. 21 to Jan. 31, 2014. The 2014 date
is one day later than the 2013 filing season
opening, which started on Jan. 30, 2013
following January tax law changes made
by Congress on Jan. 1 under the American
Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA). The extensive
set of ATRA tax changes affected many
2012 tax returns, which led to the late
January opening.
The IRS noted that several options
are available to help taxpayers prepare for
the 2014 tax season and get their refunds
as easily as possible. New year-end tax
planning information has been added to
IRS.gov this week.
In addition, many software companies
are expected to begin accepting tax returns
in January and hold those returns until the
IRS systems open on Jan. 31. More details
will be available in January.
The IRS cautioned that it will not
process any tax returns before Jan. 31, so
there is no advantage to filing on paper
before the opening date. Taxpayers will
receive their tax refunds much faster by
using e-file or Free File with the direct
deposit option.
The April 15 tax deadline is set by
statute and will remain in place. However,
the IRS reminds taxpayers that anyone can
request an automatic six-month extension
to file their tax return. The request is easily
done with Form 4868, which can be filed
electronically or on paper.
IRS systems, applications and databases
must be updated annually to reflect tax law
updates, business process changes and
programming updates in time for the start
of the filing season.
The October closure came during the
peak period for preparing IRS systems
for the 2014 filing season. Programming,
testing and deployment of more than 50
IRS systems is needed to handle processing
of nearly 150 million tax returns. Updating
these core systems is a complex, yearround process with the majority of the work
beginning in the fall of each year.
About 90 percent of IRS operations
were closed during the shutdown, with some
major work streams closed entirely during
this period, putting the IRS nearly three
weeks behind its tight timetable for being
ready to start the 2014 filing season. There
are additional training, programming and
testing demands on IRS systems this year
in order to provide additional refund fraud
and identity theft detection and prevention.

in Lawrence and was a multi sporter as was
Vinnie Mello.

(snowshoes) Mc Carthy who later played at

Help for Elders
Nunzio DiMarca and John Savastano
Celebrating 16 years bringing you five
continuous hours of entertainment, news,
interviews, music and fun.
Elder Services is currently recruiting & training more volunteers to help the
elderly remain safely in their homes for as long as possible; the volunteers
will help with:
• With door to door Transportation to medical appointments.
• With an advocate, to accompany the elder into the medical appointment.
• With food shopping & picking up prescriptions.
• With companionship, someone they can just talk with.
Request - This is a wonderful program for our elders who have no one to help
them. However, Elder Services needs many more volunteers throughout the
Merrimack Valley to answer all the calls for help we are receiving. We hope
the folks who are reading this Ad can put a few hours aside each month and
help support this critical need. Contact: Gerry at, 978-946-1445

Rumbo’s New Year
As we showed in our editorial, 2013
was a good year for us and all indications
are that 2014 will be even better. I just have
to negotiate with my boss some vacation
time every now and then because if it was
hectic before, it will only get worse.
We are very fortunate to be surrounded
by advertisers who believe in the work we
do and have been with us for many years
– after all, this is a business. It’s a great
feeling when we can be of service to our
communities (and this expanded issue is
proof of that) where organizations can have
a vehicle to promote their services and
successes.

Welcome Mayor
Rivera!
I have known Danny for a long time
and can only say nice things about him.
As a worker, member of the City Council
and member of the Board of Trustees of
Northern Essex Community College, the
image I have is that of someone smart, hard
working and responsible. Just take a look
at the job he did with the city budget!
You knew there was going to be a
BUT, right?
Since winning the elections I have seen
another side of him that worries me. I don’t
think he has had any experience managing
people.
He probably thinks that by
delegating to others the work will get done
but the mistakes by his organization and
the different committees lead me to believe
that he may not be a good manager.
Delegating is not enough; you have
to ask for the results of their undertaking
or otherwise, things will fall on the round
file. I am referring specifically, to the way
Volunteers Needed!
Did you know that 1 in every 50 children in the US will go to sleep
without a home this year? Horizons for Homeless Children is looking
for energetic and enthusiastic volunteers to play with children living in
family homeless shelters in Northeastern Massachusetts.
A commitment of just 2 hours a week will make a significant
difference in the lives of some wonderful children in your community.
Trainings for your region are coming up soon - sign up today! January
2012, Northeast Region, Saturday, January 21st. 9:30pm - 4:00pm,
Lowell, MA

org.
the media has been handled with confusing
information being offered such as the ice
skates being FREE RENTAL only to later
clarify that someone else is paying for the
rental and they will be free to the public.
Then, refusing or forgetting to attend
scheduled radio interviews only going
to those where the comfort level is more
pleasing. Elections are over and there will
not be unfair or provoking questions any
more from any of us.
Then, there was the inaugural
committee! Just one week before the
swearing-in ceremony it was announced
that the City Council, School Committee
and Greater Lawrence Technical School
Committee will be having separate events.
They forgot to plan for these bodies to
be part of the inauguration of the new
government, concentrating exclusively on
the mayor’s activities. Frankly, the whole
thing has been butchered, beginning with
the ceremony in front of City Hall. It would
have been beautiful in good weather but
they should have been realistic from the
start.
What I said about delegating was
because the impression I get from all of that
is that they don’t have to answer to anyone
– and apparently, Danny doesn’t ask.

When you decide
to start a business
there are many
insurance issues to
consider. Here are a
few that you need to
purchase.
LIABILITY:
Liability protects you if someone gets
hurt on your property or from your
business. If you rent, your landlord will
want you to have liability insurance
and name them as an ADDITIONAL
INSURED. If you sell food, a product
or service, liability insurance is very
important. If you own rental property,
liability is necessary to protect you from
tenant law suits and it’s required for
Section VIII tenants. Contractors need
liability to protect their clients. Many
cities and towns require Certificates of
Insurance from contractors when they
apply for permits.
FIRE/HAZARD: If you borrow money
to start your business or buy a building,
the bank will require that you have
FIRE insurance (just like when you
borrow to buy a home).
THEFT: Theft coverage can usually be
purchased along with fire insurance.
Often it is necessary to have a burglar
alarm to purchase theft coverage.
WORKERS COMPENSATION: If
you decide to hire someone or have
family help you, it is necessary to
purchase
workers
compensation
insurance. This protects the worker
if they are injured on the job. Not
only are the medical bills paid, but the
missing wages are also payable to the
injured employee. The cost is based
on the type of business and the actual
payroll. Corporations must purchase
this coverage. Proprietors and LLC
businesses do not have to protect
themselves but they must purchase a
policy for workers they hire.
LOSS OF RENTS/EARNINGS: If
your rental income or your sales money
pays the bills then you need to be sure
your policy includes this coverage. It
is not automatically included!

Al día con YDO Lawrence
Un nuevo socio en el centro comercial
Youth Development Organization
(YDO) siempre ha tratado de involucrar
a los estudiantes fuera del salón de clases
típico.
Dependiendo de los recursos
disponibles, estar "fuera de la escuela" ha
significado tener programas en espacios
creativos en la Academia Phillips, en las
universidades, o en nuestro nuevo espacio
en Everett Mills. Ahora, por primera vez,
estamos colaborando con un pequeño
negocio en el centro de Lawrence.
Aprovechando el impulso del proyecto
de teatro de este verano (una producción
de teatro musical de Seussical, Jr.), YDO
ofreció a los estudiantes una oportunidad
después de la escuela para vincular
sus talentos para llevar a cabo con sus
capacidades para escribir, y viceversa. El
programa de cine en la escritura se reunió
a veces tres días por semana - viernes y
sábados en la oficina de YDO y los lunes en
El Taller.
El Taller, es una cafetería en el centro
comercial de Lawrence, donde la educación
y la creatividad se fomentan y celebran.
Cuando entre en El Taller, se dará cuenta
de que el café funciona como una librería
y también como una galería para artistas
locales.
Tome nota de los taburetes
formados de carretes de telas antiguas que
se utilizaban en las fábricas, al llegar a las
mesas notará que se encuentran cubiertas
de papel de construcción y con un tarro de
lápices junto a la sal y la pimienta. Haga
un bosquejo, componga, o tome notas - El
Taller provoca pasivamente la creatividad
de cada cliente.
Muchos de los más estudiantes mayores
de YDO (nuestro grupo de liderazgo) y
en general, los jóvenes de Lawrence han
respondido en una forma muy positiva al
ambiente que El Taller ha creado. Participan
en talleres de escritura, grupos de lectura y
sesiones de micrófono abierto.
YDO
valora
enormemente
la
asociación con El Taller. La relación es una
representación perfecta de la contratación
fuera de la escuela creemos que capacita
a los estudiantes para aprender y crecer,
mientras que, sobre todo, experimentan y
se conectan con el mundo real.
Updates from YDO Lawrence
A New Partner Downtown
Youth Development Organization
(YDO) has always sought to engage students
outside of the typical classroom setting.
Depending on the resources available, being
"out-of-school" has meant holding programs
in creative spaces at Phillips Academy, on
college campuses, or in our new space at
Everett Mills. Now, for the first time, we
are collaborating with a small business in
downtown Lawrence.
Building on momentum from this
summer's Performing Project (a musical
theatre production of Seussical, Jr.), YDO
offered students an after-school opportunity
to link their talents for performing with
their capacities for writing, and vice versa.
The Theater Writing program met two,
sometimes three, days per week - Fridays &
Saturdays at the YDO office and Mondays
at El Taller.
El Taller, which means "The Workshop",
is a cafe in downtown Lawrence where
literacy and creativity are fostered and
celebrated. When you walk into El Taller,
you will notice immediately that the cafe
doubles as a bookstore and triples as a
gallery for local artists. Take note of the
bar stools fashioned from old fabric spools
once used in the mills; but make your way
to any table, which you will find covered in
construction paper and with a Mason jar of
pencils next to the salt & pepper. Doodle,
sketch, compose, or take notes - El Taller
passively elicits creativity from every
customer.
Many of the older YDO kids (our
leadership group) and, in general, youth
in Lawrence have been responding very
positively to the environment El Taller
has created. They participate in writing
workshops, reading groups, and open-mic
sessions.
YDO has absolutely treasured
partnering with El Taller. The relationship
is a perfect representation of the out-ofschool engagement we believe empowers
students to learn and grow while,
importantly, experiencing and connecting
with the real world.
Brigada anual de pavos sirve
a cientos de necesitados
Más de 500 familias en el Valle de
Merrimack y el sur de New Hampshire
recibieron un generoso inicio a la temporada
Navideña con uno de los eventos de servicio
comunitario más grandes de la región.
Merrimack Valley Federal Credit Union se
enorgullece de participar en la vigésimosegunda Brigada Anual de Pavos de Acción
de Gracias, organizada por Ocasio’s True
Martial Arts de Haverhill. En conjunto, las
organizaciones y decenas de voluntarios
entregaron cenas de pavo completas a las
familias necesitadas.
Merrimack Valley contribuyó $2,500
para la compra de ingredientes para las
cestas de la cena, junto con un equipo de
voluntarios para repartirlas el miércoles
antes del Día de Acción de Gracias. Las
cestas contenían un pavo, una sartén para
cocinarlo, patatas, verduras, salsa, relleno,
pan y más.
"La Brigada de Pavos es una tradición
maravillosa que ayuda a los menos
afortunados", dijo Jay Caldwell, quien
coordinó el equipo de voluntarios de la
Cooperativa de Crédito. "Merrimack Valley
se enorgullece de ser parte de hacer que las
Navidades sean especiales para aquellos
que más lo necesitan."
Spider-Man fue miembro de la Brigada
de Pavos este año, para el deleite de los
niños y las familias que abrieron sus puertas
al superhéroe que lleva la cena de Acción
de Gracias. Fotos y video están disponibles
en YouTube.

Annual Turkey Brigade
serves hundreds in need
More than 500 families in the
Merrimack Valley and Southern New
Hampshire received a bountiful start to
the holiday season with one of the biggest
community service events in the region.
Merrimack Valley Federal Credit Union
was proud to participate in the 20th annual
Thanksgiving Turkey Brigade, hosted by
Ocasio’s True Martial Arts of Haverhill.
Together, the organizations and dozens
of volunteers delivered complete turkey
dinners to families in need.
Merrimack Valley contributed $2,500
toward the purchase of ingredients for
the dinner baskets, along with a team
of volunteers to deliver them on the
Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The
baskets contained a turkey, a pan to cook
it in, potatoes, vegetables, gravy, stuffing,
rolls and more.
“The Turkey Brigade is a wonderful
tradition that helps those less fortunate,”
said Jay Caldwell, who coordinated
the Credit Union’s team of volunteers.
“Merrimack Valley is proud to be part of
making the holidays special for those who
need it most.”
Spider-Man was a member of this
year’s Turkey Brigade, much to the delight
of the children and families who opened
their doors to the superhero bearing
Thanksgiving dinner. Photos and video are
available in YouTube.
Ocasio’s raises money all year long and
collects donations of food for the Turkey
Brigade baskets. For more information,

un
enorme
agradecimiento
a
todos
nuestros
voluntarios, el personal y los que tomaron
parte en la recaudación de fondos. Muy
buen trabajo durante la exposición durante
toda la semana por nuestros embajadores
voluntarios. Un gran agradecimiento a
nuestro personal del centro de acogida
para ayudar con información a los socios,

todo nuestro personal de ANA, el personal
de las instalaciones y aquellos de la

para preparar y ejecutar un evento muy
exitoso el día de la carrera en la carpa de
hospitalidad.
El Feaster Five presenta una tremenda
oportunidad para mostrar buena voluntad
y para nuestra Y en una serie de diferentes
niveles. Primero como un socio de la
comunidad, en segundo lugar como un
centro de recursos para organizar un evento
de una manera eficiente, divertida y familiar,
y tercero como un lugar donde la gente
quiere pertenecer y participar en decisiones
de vida saludables. Fue muy emocionante
para nuestros miembros actuales presenciar
esto, así como para los que vienen por
primera vez. Una mención especial a Gabby
Taveras por su interpretación del Himno
Nacional - fue reconfortante y fenomenal.
Algunos elementos que merecen ser
mencionados:
• Un total de 10,616 participantes en la
carrera alrededor de 100 menos que el año
pasado... de esos tuvimos a más de 7800
que pasaron por nuestras puertas el lunes,
martes y miércoles.
• La primera vez que el registro se hizo en
línea durante la expo (sin papel) - Nuestra
YMCA prestó tabletas para ayudar a
facilitar el proceso.
•
Tuvimos
aproximadamente
22
recaudaciones de fondos tituladas POR
QUÉ CORRO (que nosotros sepamos)
• Por lo menos un total de 74 personas
visitaron la carpa de hospitalidad
• Los fondos de patrocinio fueron iguales al
año pasado antes de añadir la recaudación
de fondos de POR QUÉ CORRO, la
donación de Striders y las donaciones por
los participantes de la comunidad
• El objetivo de la promoción para obtener
15 nuevos miembros resultó en 24

Claudia Soo Hoo.
Gracias,
Feaster Five Volunteers
I would like to express a huge thank
you to all of our volunteers, staff and
fundraisers. Great work during the expo
all week by our volunteer Ambassadors/
Greeters. A big thank you to our welcome
center staff for helping with member
information, membership inquiries and
sales. Thank you to all of our ANA staff,
facilities staff and those of you from Admin
who worked so hard to prepare and execute
a very successful event and race day
hospitality tent.
The Feaster Five presented a
tremendous opportunity for local goodwill
and for us to showcase our Y on a number
of different levels. First as a community
partner, second as a facility with resources
to host an event in an efficient, fun and
family-friendly way and third, as a place
where people want to belong; to engage in
healthy lifestyle choices. It was exciting
for our current members to witness this as
well as for those coming thru our doors for
the first time. A special call out to Gabby
Taveras for her rendition of the National
Anthem-it was heart-warming not to
mention phenomenal.

Re. Lawrence Public Schools
En respuesta al editorial del Boston
Herald el 16 de diciembre "Corriendo
hacia el fondo", me gustaría dejar las cosas
claras de por qué la negociación colectiva
es esencial en cualquier sistema educativo,
pero sobre todo en Lawrence.
En los últimos años, la Ciudad
de Lawrence ha sido objeto de una
serie de desgracias que han impactado
negativamente a nuestro sistema escolar
público. El ex superintendente fue enviado
a prisión. Un alcalde indiferente ha sido
objeto de numerosas investigaciones. Hay
una profunda pobreza en esta orgullosa y
luchadora ciudad.
A medida que trabajamos para mejorar
nuestra ciudad y nuestro sistema escolar, la
voz de nuestros educadores en este proceso
es esencial. Sin derechos de negociación
colectiva, los maestros en Lawrence
son silenciados en cuestiones críticas de
educación, entre ellas la salud escolar y
la seguridad, el desarrollo profesional,
la retención, y un sinnúmero de otros
problemas críticos que se suman a lo que es
mejor para los niños a quienes enseñan.
Estamos comprometidos con la mejora
de las Escuelas Públicas de Lawrence para
nuestros estudiantes, nuestros maestros
y nuestra comunidad. Insistimos en que
nuestros maestros no sean privados de sus
derechos de negociación colectiva, ya que
como una ciudad y una comunidad, todos
estamos unidos en esto.

In response to the Boston Herald’s
Dec. 16 editorial “Racing to the Bottom,”
I would like to set the record straight as to
why collective bargaining is essential in
any education system, but particularly in
Lawrence.
Within the past few years, the City of
Lawrence has been subject to a number of
misfortunes that have negatively impacted
our public school system. The former
school superintendent was sent to prison.
An indifferent mayor has been the subject
of numerous investigations. There is deep
poverty in this proud, but struggling city.
As we work to improve our city and our
school system, the voice of our educators
in this process is essential. Without
collective bargaining rights, teachers in
Lawrence are silenced on critical education
issues including school health and safety,
professional development, retention, and
countless other critical issues that add up to
what is best for the children they teach.
We are committed to improving the
Lawrence Public Schools for our students,
our teachers, and our community. We insist
that our teachers not be deprived of their
collective bargaining rights, because as
a city and a community, we are all in this
together.

2013 Feaster Five Thanksgiving Day Road Race
By Edward Reynoso, Ed.D.,
Principal
Oliver Middle School
Building a healthy school community
requires involvement and investment from
everyone. It means daily collaboration,
acknowledging each other’s opinions and
respecting our differences. Often it means
pushing ourselves outside our respective
comfort zones.
Ultimately, it means
teaching the whole child—academically,
emotionally, and physically. That is what
we are doing at the Oliver Middle School
(grades 7th & 8th). As a community
(teachers, parents, administrators), we
continue to focus on teaching and learning
while concentrating on the whole child.
Students arrive at the school every day
at 7:30 for a 7:55 start, and from the moment
they enter the school, they are greeted
by a staff that is immediately available
to support more than just their academic
needs. The students’ academic day ends
at 3:30, but the school does not empty out
until nearly 7:30pm! Our numerous afterschool programs are designed to develop
essential life skills and inspire healthy
lifestyle choices.
As principal, one of my goals is to
educate students about the importance of
physical fitness—to provide them with
opportunities to challenge themselves both
physically and mentally. As a result, our
Monday-Friday after-school Fitness Club
caught on quickly, and now approximately
40 students participate on a regular basis.
The Fitness Club became another
way to strengthen our school community
when this group of students, alongside
the Assistant Principal Mrs. Cunningham,
English Teacher Erin Walsh, Special
Education Teacher Lauretta Bailin, Science
Teacher Priscilla Camarda, and Geraldo
Acosta Jr., took on the challenge of
preparing for the 26th annual Feaster Five
5k Race in Andover.
Thursday, November 28th found all
of us in matching green shirts on a bus
and headed to Andover. Although the
temperature was 32 degrees, all twenty
students taking part in this event were
excited and eager to line up for the 8:30
start in a crowd of over 10,000 other
participants.
At the finish line students were hugging
each other with pride. One of the girls told
me, "This is the best day of my life!"
Another one said, "I am ready for our
next race." At the end of the day the goal
was met. We worked together to prepare
for this national event and all of us made
it past the finish line. The Oliver Middle
School continues to prove that when a
community of learners work together,
there will be far more than just academic
growth. We are preparing our students for
life. Healthy lifestyle choices, like eating
right and exercise, are an integral part of
that success. Our school strives for 100%
success academically, and in order to
accomplish such a lofty goal we must teach
the whole child.

Martha Forero
Discovering a Passion for Public Oral-Health Education
By Tura Linderholm
Photos by Kevin Harkins
Formerly a dentist in her native Colombia,
Martha Forero uses a variety of oral-health
teaching tools for all ages – and especially
enjoys working with the Latino community.
Once a practicing dentist, Martha Forero
found her true passion as an oral-health
educator through Middlesex Community
College’s Dental Hygiene Program. “My
mission is to promote oral health, prevent
dental disease, and educate the public,” said
Forero.
After practicing as a pediatric dentist
in her native country of Colombia,
Forero discovered dental hygiene gives
her a completely different perspective.
“Dentistry involves a lot
of restorative work for
damage that has already
been done,” she said.
“But dental hygiene is
mostly preventive, and
preventing the damage
in the first place should
be the goal of good
dentistry.”
A 2007 graduate
of
MCC’s
Dental
Hygiene
Program,
Forero currently works
as a dental hygienist,
an outreach programs
coordinator, and an
oral-health educator in
Andover and Lawrence.
She recently spoke at
the annual meeting of
the Hispanic Dental
Association in Boston
about effective Latinooriented
practices.
Working with the Latino
population is something
she particularly enjoys.
“The approach
to dentistry in a Latino community is
very different from working in other
communities,” she said. “It’s cultural.
Many Latinos bring entire families – child,
mother, grandmother – to appointments.
I get to touch so many lives in just one
visit.”
Forero’s professional journey has
been highly unconventional. After earning
her dental degree and practicing with a
children’s hospital in Colombia, she decided
to further her education. She set her sights
on Canada, but ultimately ended up at the
University of Michigan Ann Arbor, where
she received her master’s degree in pediatric
dentistry.
However, Forero never pursued a
license to practice in the U.S. Instead, she
moved to Turkey with her husband. While
there, she worked with a private pediatric
dental practice. Six years later, Forero, her
husband and their young daughter relocated
back to the U.S., settling in Massachusetts.
“I didn’t know how long we were going
to be here,” she said. “My daughter was
young and I wanted to experience being a
mother. I wasn’t looking for more titles,
I wanted to stay connected with dentistry,
even though I couldn’t practice,” she said.
“So, I enrolled in the Dental Hygiene
Program at Middlesex – and it completely
opened my world.”
In her role as an oral health educator,
Forero travels throughout the state
giving educational presentations
about oral health to a wide variety
of audiences. She visits public
schools to educate children
about best dental practices, and
advocates for the use of mouth
guards in every youth sport to
coaches and parents. She teaches
teen moms how to provide proper
oral health care for their children,
visits a variety of community and
senior centers to discuss healthy
diets and oral health, and helps
organize a number of community
health fairs.
Forero recently developed
and presented a program about
dental trauma to the Massachusetts
School Nurse Organization.
“The school nurse is often the
first person to handle a traumatic
dental situation,” she said. “If
they are educated about how to
properly treat oral injuries, there
is a better chance of preventing
more serious dental procedures
for the patient in the future.”
People often ask Forero why she hasn’t
pursued a license to practice dentistry in the
U.S., and she always responds, smiling, “I
love what I do. As a hygienist, I can focus
on a very important part of the oral system
that maintains the base of a beautiful smile
and a healthy body. I never stop teaching
and helping people.”
MCC is one of the largest, most
comprehensive community colleges in
Massachusetts. We offer more than 75
degree and certificate programs, plus
hundreds of noncredit courses, during
the day, evening and weekend, on our
Bedford and Lowell campuses, and online.
Middlesex – a great place to begin your
future!
Lawrence dental hygienist Martha Forero
discovered her passion for preventive oralhealth care at Middlesex Community College.
A dental hygienist, outreach programs
coordinator, and oral-health educator, Martha
Forero leads educational programs and
workshops around the state.

ADOPT A PET
MSPCA-METHUEN & RUMBO
COOPERATIVE EDUCATION COLUMN
STRIPES
Stripes is an 8 year old leopard gecko. He is a sweet little
guy. His owner went off to college and did not have time
for him. Leopard Geckos can live from into their teens to
mid twenties, so Stripes is a long term commitment. He
needs special care such as a heat lamp and his food of
choice is live crickets. Stripes is currently in foster with
one of our volunteers, so if you are interested in him,
please contact staff first before coming in.
ACHROMATIC
Gentle, sweet Achromatic was found on the Nevins Farm
property and brought indoors before the winter weather set
in. His initial shyness doesn't last long. He is affectionate with
people he knows and he will lean into your hand for head
rubs. In fact, he really enjoys being petted all over, even on
his belly! Achromatic has been around dogs at the adoption
center and he was not bothered by them at all. He just ignored them, so he could
easily live with a friendly, mellow dog. He might be ok with other cats given a slow
introduction. He would do well in a home with teens, but he would likely hide from
younger, noisy children. It may take him a little time to feel safe and secure in his
new home, so patience is required while he gets to know you. Achromatic is about 4
years old. He has adapted very well to being an indoor cat. It is recommended that he
remain an indoor only cat, to dissuade him from getting into a similar situation where
he wanders away from the safety of his home.
PHIL, WILLIE, SI AND JASE
We have our own Duck Dynasty here at Nevins Farm.
This group of big Pekin Brothers is fun-loving and
comical. Even though there are several other ducks here,
this group still likes to explore and quack up a storm! We
would love to send all 4 home together but we could be
adopt them out in pairs. Groups of male ducks can have
it's benefits. Drakes are quieter than the females and if
you are not interested in searching for eggs (don't want any surprise hatchings), an all
male flock would be a good idea. Ducks are great foragers and will gladly eat insects
and small pests. They also will provide plenty of viewing fun with their antics around
the pool.
LOKI
High energy Loki is a handsome boy! He is only 3 years old and
wants to play and run all day. When he is ready to relax, the nearest
adult lap is where he will be. Loki was a stray and most of his past
is unknown. A kind family brought him home for a little while. As
it turns out, Loki would rather live with adults than children. He
can play rough and doesn't have enough boundaries to be with little
ones. He would need a cat savvy family so he can be himself and
show you his purrsonality. Head scratches are his favorite time of
day. A slow introduction would be needed with cats in your family.
Loki would prefer not to live with dogs. He was an indoor/outdoor
kitty and can be again in a safe neighborhood. Loki would love a family to call his
own. He enjoys being warm and having warm food available. Come see Loki and
maybe he will be the match for you.
ABOUT COCO
4 year old Coco lost his home because they could no longer
afford to keep her and she also needed more room to run
and play than his previous owners could provide. Her ideal
home would be with an owner or family who isn't away
from the house for long hours and is able to spend quality
time training to help her work on any behavior issues.
Though Coco loves other dogs, she might be happier as
your only child because she hasn't quite learned how to
share! She has been great around kids and cats, weighs in
at about 54 lbs and though she's crate trained she has escaped from the crate on several
occasions in her previous home. If you're looking to add a lab to your family circle,
come meet Coco, she has kept the sweetest puppy face and eyes (even at 4 years old!).
Be sure to talk with the staff about her previous medical issues. See you soon!
