Back then it was presented by Michaela Strachan, Terry Nutkins and conservation campaigner Chris Packham, someone she later met through her work.Helen gained a first-class BSc in Zoology at the University of Nottingham, then an unexpected phone call led to her enrolling in a Masters in biological photography and imaging, something that resulted in the career she still does.From the time she left university and stepped into the world of communication and public engagement, Helen has been encouraging people to learn about wildlife conservation, the countryside and their natural surroundings. From starting work for the West Midlands Biodiversity Partnership. She went on to work in media and communications for Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wildlife Trust, (fondly known as BBOWT to local supporters), before setting up as a freelance.Today, Helen splits her time between her own business, Lonely Cottage Productions, and a publications business, Nature Bureau, designing, photographing and writing for scientific, environmental and wildlife-themed projects.

Two state senators have challenged the right of U.S. citizens living abroad to cast votes in federal races.  The country's highest court has sided with Butler County voters whose provisional ballots were challenged by Republicans this past spring.  On the final Sunday of a rollercoaster presidential contest, Republican nominee Donald Trump is asking voters in Pennsylvania again to make him leader of what he falsely claims is a “failed nation.”  Only a handful of races will determine control of the U.S. House. The 10th District race between Republican incumbent Scott Perry and Democratic challenger Janelle Stelson is one of them.  The state Attorney General's office is now working with Berks, Lancaster, Monroe, and York to investigate allegedly fraudulent voter registration forms submitted at the deadline late last month. Carter Walker from Votebeat provides some context to what's happening.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

¿Por qué el voto de los puertorriqueños de Pensilvania es tan importante en las elecciones de EE.UU.?

Grandes Reportajes de RFI

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 28, 2024 12:59


En un escenario electoral polarizado, los puertorriqueños de Pensilvania podrían ser la clave para obtener la llave de la Casa Blanca. Con cerca de 600,000 votos latinos en juego, demócratas y republicanos multiplican sus campañas para captar su apoyo. RFI en español habló con ellos en lo que se considera la "zona cero" del voto hispano del estado, la ciudad de Reading. La comunidad enfrenta desafíos económicos y un giro generacional hacia el partido de Donald Trump. “Kamala que mala eres, que mala eres Kamala…”A ritmo de salsa y emulando el clásico ‘Juliana', pero cambiando el nombre por ‘Kamala', Donald Trump hace campaña en Pensilvania y en Estados Unidos para atraer el votante latino y puertorriqueño. En una elección tan polarizada, demócratas y republicanos centran recursos en Pensilvania donde viven un millón de latinos que todavía no tienen una preferencia clara por un candidato. Este es el estado pendular que más votos electorales da al ganador con 19 en total y dado el estrecho margen en las encuestas, lograr el apoyo de los puertorriqueños y latinos podría definir la elección presidencial como coinciden encuestas y analistas políticos.Elizabeth Torres Laviena, es puertorriqueña y vive en Reading Pensilvania con su esposo, Mike Toledo. Semanalmente visitan un restaurante Colombiano donde se encuentran con la parte de la comunidad de esta ciudad de casi 100 mil habitantes que está en el corredor latino de Pensilvania, una región del centro del estado donde viven cerca de medio millón de puertorriqueños.“Mis padres son de Puerto Rico, mi papá vino acá primero porque estaba trabajando en las fincas, luego trajo a mi mamá. Primero comenzamos viviendo en Lancaster, Pensilvania y luego nos mudamos acá, a Reading. He estado casi 45 años”.Para Elizabeth ha habido un cambio generacional que ha impactado la inclinación política de los votantes: “Cuando yo llegué acá, éramos más demócratas, y ahora estoy viendo que los jóvenes están más inclinados del lado republicano. Mi hijo es republicano, yo soy demócrata, pero también los veo más indecisos”. Elizabeth trabaja en una escuela y dice que los altos costos de la guardería están excluyendo a las mujeres del mercado laboral. “Trabajo ayudando a las personas en la comunidad también y hay muchas madres que no pueden trabajar porque no tienen los fondos para pagar el ‘day care' (guardería)”.Su esposo Mike Toledo, nació en Estados Unidos y es director del Centro Hispano, una organización sin ánimo de lucro que ayuda a los latinos en Pensilvania a romper las barreras de acceso a la salud, la educación y las finanzas. Según él, para los latinos lograr el sueño americano es cada vez más difícil dada la inflación y los altos costos de vida. “Las necesidades de la comunidad puertorriqueña en primer lugar es la economía, el costo de ir a la tienda y comprar huevos. El costo de la leche, por ejemplo. También la vivienda, el costo de los alquileres. Estamos viendo que cada vez más familias vienen al Centro Hispano porque sus contratos de alquiler terminan y los dueños de los inmuebles suben la renta en un 20 o 30%”. La calidad de la salud y la atención médica también son críticamente importantes”.Para Mike Toledo si los candidatos quieren ganar el voto latino, tienen que escuchar a la comunidad y visitar el barrio.  “Pensilvania es el epicentro de las elecciones generales. El condado de Berks y la ciudad de Reading son la zona cero. Nosotros ya sabemos cómo votarán en Filadelfia y Pittsburgh, pero el centro del estado es donde se decidirá quién gane en Pensilvania. En ese sentido, las campañas tienen que venir a nuestro barrio. Necesitan encontrarnos para entender y saber dónde estamos. Las campañas no pueden darnos por sentados. El bloque electoral puertorriqueño no es un bloque electoral homogéneo”, agregó.“Las minorías indecisas serán determinantes”En Estados Unidos hay cerca de 65 millones de latinos de los cuales casi 36 millones están habilitados para votar. Sin embargo, la plataforma Latino Data Hub proyecta que cerca de 17 millones ejercerán su derecho al voto. Para su director, Rodrigo Dominguez-Villegas, en un estado donde el ganador del voto popular se queda con la totalidad de los votos electorales, las minorías todavía indecisas serán determinantes.“Los latinos tienen mucho, mucho poder en Pensilvania. Recordemos que este año hay más o menos 580 o 600 mil posibles votantes latinos y la elección pasada, la elección en el 2020 se decidió por más o menos 81.000 votos. Entonces, si los votantes latinos salen a votar, claro que pueden ser los que determinan el resultado de la elección presidencial en el estado de Pensilvania, que es uno de los estados más clave más importantes, y se está viendo que la elección está muy cerrada según las encuestas”.Los datos de Latino Data Hub y del Latino Policy and Politics Institute muestran que habrá un aumento del 40% en la participación de los latinos en esta elección en comparación con el 2016. Sin embargo, los latinos son la minoría que menos participa en las elecciones.“Los votantes latinos son mucho más jóvenes que otros votantes en el estado. Y, ¿qué pasa con los votantes jóvenes? Sin importar raza, sin importar donde. Eso pasa en Latinoamérica, en todo el mundo: Los votantes jóvenes tienden a participar menos en elecciones. Entonces, al estar sobre concentrados en la población joven, los votantes latinos, no quiero decir que simplemente por ser jóvenes, pero eh, pues demográficamente son más jóvenes y los jóvenes tienden a votar menos”.Históricamente los latinos en Pensilvania han apoyado al Partido Demócrata. En el tramo final de esta campaña presidencial, el 57% de los votantes latinos registrados dicen que votarían por la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris y el 39% por el expresidente Donald Trump, según el Pew Research Center. Sin embargo, simpatizantes de Trump creen que la tendencia está cambiando.En Butler Pensilvania, donde Trump sufrió el atentado contra su vida y regresó para hacer un gran discurso, el puertorriqueño Gardner Mujica llevaba puesta con orgullo su camiseta de ‘Latinos por Trump'. Para él la única solución para los problemas de la comunidad es que vuelva Trump al poder. “Sé que puedo hablar por los latinos aquí en Estados Unidos: necesitamos a Trump. Necesitamos que Trump vuelva a ocupar el cargo. Necesitamos que Trump haga todo lo que ha dicho que hará para que podamos volver a donde estábamos: familias de clase media ganando dinero sin tener que trabajar en 2 o 3 trabajos para comprar una casa porque ahora hay una inflación excesiva en los automóviles, y una inflación excesiva en la vivienda”, indicó.Gardner Mojica nació en el Bronx, en Nueva York, pero hoy vive en el corredor latino de Pensilvania donde hace campaña para los republicanos. Según él, los demócratas solo hacen política para enriquecerse. “Mi ciudad en este momento está sufriendo por culpa de los demócratas, porque están tomando medidas políticas para sus bolsillos y no para la gente. Quieren quitarnos nuestros derechos religiosos. Quieren quitarnos tantas cosas y algunos de la comunidad latina ni siquiera lo saben. Algunas personas simplemente no quieren votar y eso nos perjudica mucho. Así que si tuviera algo que decirle a la comunidad latina sería que confíe en Trump, que tenga fe y que ponga a Dios primero y luego a Trump”, indicó.Rafaela Gomez, dominicana y simpatizante de Trump, viajó cinco horas para poder verlo en Butler, un pueblo cercano a Pittsburgh Pensilvania. A la salida del evento cuestionó que sea Trump el que ponga en riesgo los derechos de las mujeres, pese a que él nombró a los jueces que limitaron el derecho al aborto a nivel federal.“Son ellos los que acaban con los derechos de las mujeres, no Trump. ¿Quién fue la mujer del año? un hombre, ¿A quién se le permite participar en los deportes de mujeres? A los hombres. Me entiende ¿Quién puede entrar al baño de niños? los transgénero…Los demócratas pelean todo el tiempo por el aborto ¿por qué pelearse contra Trump al respecto? Él nunca dijo que iba a parar el aborto. Cuando fue presidente en 2016 nunca detuvo el aborto”.El efecto de la pandemia y la inflaciónDesde Filadelfia, Michael Jones-Correa, profesor de ciencias políticas y migración de la Universidad de Pensilvania, afirmó que los retos económicos de Estados Unidos derivados de la pandemia y la inflación han polarizado las posturas políticas de los latinos.“El efecto del covid creo que se sintió más en la comunidad latina. Hubo más muertes y efectos de la enfermedad, y también más efecto económico. Esto seguido por la inflación que tuvo más efecto en esta comunidad. Es un grupo que está un poco desanimado con los demócratas. Que han votado por los demócratas en el pasado pero hay una oportunidad ahí para un candidato como Trump”.Teniendo en cuenta la polarización y los estrechos márgenes de ventaja entre candidatos, el profesor Jones-Correa cree que la movilización de los votantes el día de la elección será clave. “En gran parte del país, la gente ya se ha definido. Ya saben para quién van a votar, sea demócrata o republicano. Entonces sí hay un grupo sustancial de gente que está tal vez pensando en votar por Trump, pero se van a quedar en casa. Igual para Harris, se van a quedar en casa. Entonces para las campañas lo importante es tratar de sacar ese voto” agregó.Para impulsar a la gente a votar, Ezra Feliciano, activista demócrata que trabaja para Pensilvania Stand Up, se prepara con su equipo para salir a tocar las puertas de las casas en Reading y otras ciudades del ‘corredor latino' de Pensilvania.  “Al ir puerta a puerta en estas últimas semanas he escuchado una mezcla de historias por parte de los votantes. La gente ha perdido la esperanza y no sabe qué hacer. Quieren votar por Harris porque la otra opción no es viable en sus vidas. Solo salir y tener conversaciones con las personas y escucharlas ha sido impactante para ellas” relató.Para Feliciano, escuchar a esas personas que se sienten segregadas y tratar de conectar personalmente con ellas hace la diferencia. “Esas son las voces que a menudo son descartadas. La gente de color siempre está y ha estado aquí peleando y nos ignoran una y otra vez. Esas son las personas con las que salgo y hablo. Esas son las personas que son importantes para mí y esas son las personas que marcarán la diferencia en estas elecciones” explicó Erza Feliciano.Música para atraer el voto latinoEn las últimas semanas Donald Trump y Kamala Harris han apelado a las figuras del reggaetón para atraer el voto latino. Trump fue fuertemente criticado y ridiculizado en la comunidad por confundir a Nicky Jam, un famoso cantante de reggaetón, con una mujer al subirlo al escenario en uno de sus eventos políticos. “La superestrella de la música latina, Nicky Jam, ¿conocen a Nicky? Ella es sexy... ¿Dónde está Nicky? Ohhh miren, me alegro que él haya subido”.Por su parte Kamala Harris ha logrado que Marc Anthony, legendario cantante de salsa puertoriqueño, manifieste su apoyo y ataque Donald Trump en un comercial de televisión por el mal trato que le dio a la isla cuando era presidente.“Hola Soy Marc Anthony, aunque algunos lo hayan olvidado. Recuerdo cómo era cuando Trump era presidente. Recuerdo lo que hizo y dijo sobre Puerto Rico, sobre la retórica de nuestro pueblo. Recuerdo que después de que el huracán María devastara nuestra isla, Trump bloqueó miles de millones de ayuda mientras miles morían”.Se proyecta que las campañas gasten 10,700 millones de dólares en publicidad en estas elecciones según el sitio Web Adimpact y gran parte de ese dinero irá a Pensilvania y otros estados pendulares. Entre tanto, la diferencia en la intención de voto hacia Kamala Harris y Donald Trump en Pensilvania varía entre 1% y 3%. Cifra que está en el margen de error y que impulsa a que los candidatos incrementen sus eventos y gastos de campaña en ese estado antes de las elecciones del 5 de noviembre.

Two major U.S. manufacturers of gun parts have agreed to temporarily halt sales of their products in Philadelphia and several counties -- including Berks and Lancaster. Some organizations in Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania are collecting eclipse glasses so they don't collect dust or end up in a landfill.  A natural gas company must pay a $1 million fine for a nearly two-week-long gas leak at a storage field in western Pennsylvania.  A couple of Chester County organizations are hosting a “poverty simulation" tomorrow. Thousands of applications have been submitted for the state's first-ever student-teacher stipends. Chambersburg police have made an arrest in connection to a bomb threat at the Franklin Judicial Center that shut down the borough's Memorial Square on Wednesday. The U.S. Army is planning a seventh disinterment project for September at the Carlisle Barracks Cemetery --  as part of its efforts to return the remains of Native American children to their families. Centralia, Washington, is transitioning away from coal, and there may be lessons Pennsylvania can take away from the process. We visit the western Washington community to learn how how small businesses are affected by the plant closing, and how business owners view their role in the economy.       Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In S4Ep1 of the PRP, Adam chats it up with seasoned movement aficionado, prominent local endurance coach and all around good vibes family man Geo Woodman, who has been preparing for the Mid South Double on March 16th, 2024. Connor Grant, ardent cycling enthusiast, proud dog daddy and seasoned PRP alum joins the show to offer his take on all things gravel, lube and movement as a form of celebration.  This banter filled episode has a bit of everything and includes an extensive regaling of Geo's journey to becoming such an eminent member of the local endurance community. From team sports, to teaching, to being a Nantucket chef, Geo's story is far from ordinary, but seems to provide constant hints along the way that he was destined for a life of coaching and collaboration.   The gents then dive into a detailed symposium on what exactly The Mid South is, and more importantly, what it represents. This gives way to a conversation about movement as a form of celebration. Sure, endurance is about grinding, pushing yourself and finding your own limits; but it's also about human connection, helping to uplift others and making sacrifices for the greater good of sport. Although athletes often dominate the collective narrative for their deserving and impressive feats, it's important to remember that they are not the only part of the humming endurance ecosystem. From neighborhood gyms & PT clinics, to the local brick & mortar stores, to coaches, to community event organizers the list of supporters is lengthy and full of inspiring individuals. One thing is for certain, this community is strongest and most vibrant when we support one another full tilt. A belief that for Geo, has matured into a lifestyle that has brought him more enlightenment than he could have ever expected.  Ok, ok, ok who is Bobby and why on earth does everyone REALLY want a hug from him? Oh baby we talking cinematic trilogies?! How the hell did Connor pull off getting Lizzy J to agree to marry him??? Just how many fire new jingles we got queue'd up for Season 4?! What exactly is a celebration of red mud?! Just how far back does Geo's family lineage of coaches & athletes go? Truth be told? PF Changs?! Berks, recovery slides and crocs, oh my!

The history, the landmarks, the myths and tall tales of Pennsylvania are a mission for author Jeffrey Frazier, who makes his second appearance on The Sunbury Press Books Show. A Centre County native, Jeffrey grew up in a "Tom Sawyer sort of way," and his boyhood explorations have turned into a five-decades-long search. In "The Pennsylvania Mountain Landmarks" and "Pennsylvania Fireside Tales" series, Frazier uncovers legends and folk tales known and unknown.  These stories are, as Frazier describes, them, "waves of time." He joins host Lawrence Knorr in reflections on those who have chronicled Pennsylvania's past tales, and what Frazier has learned. From the Blue Mountains of Berks and Lehigh Counties, the South Mountains of Adams County, the Black Forest area of Potter and Tioga Counties, to the Alleghenies and in between, there are tales you will remember and those which might have been forgotten. Jeffrey Frazier graduated from Penn State University in 1967, and earned an MBA from Rider University in New Jersey. He lives in Bellefonte, PA.

This week I welcome Karen Feridun back to the show. Karen is the founder of Berks Gas Truth and co-founder of Better Path Coalition. The Better Path Coalition are the organizers for the PA Climate Convergence this coming fall. We'll be talking about a summer filled with record-breaking heat, flooding, and climate catastophie. We've seen ocean temperatures that have surprised scientists, heat that broke records by a significant margin, and flooding that has devastated communities around the world. All of this is shocking. And all of this is precisely what climate scientists have been warning us about for decades. And all of this is what world leaders - including our own government - have failed to act on in any significant way. So, today we'll talk the summer that UN Secretary General has termed the beginning of the "era of global boiling." But we'll also focus on upcoming actions this week, later this summer, and in the fall that will demand decisive, immediate climate action. It's time to make plans to be in Harrisburg this October for PA Climate Convergence. The Convergence will bring advocates, activists, and concerned residents to Harrisburg to tell Gov. Shapiro, lawmakers, and regulators that they are having the wrong conversation on climate and need to change their stance. We'll talk about why lawmakers are keeping PA from being part of the solution to the climate crisis and what all of us can do to change that. In addition to founding Berks Gas Truth and co-founding the Better Path Coalition, for the past 11 years, Karen Feridun has worked with organizations in PA, NY, NJ, and DE to win the ban on fracking in the Delaware River Basin that was imposed in February. She is currently part of an international coalition working to stop Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) exports and a national coalition working with members of Congress to reform the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Published: May 16, 2017 Today's story is about the successful formation of Berks Catholic High School in Reading, Pennsylvania (Diocese of Allentown), a co-ed high school formed in 2011 through the merger of Reading Central Catholic and Holy Name high schools. Both of the former high schools had proud traditions and tremendous legacies. But the new school exceeded all expectations and defied the odds.  In this episode, Jim Friend interviews Tony Balistrere, Principal and his colleagues Nicole (Chiarelli) Smith, Admissions Director and Fr. Gene Ritz, the school's Chaplain, as we discuss why they now have an enrollment that exceeds the combined enrollment of the two previous schools combined. Tony and Jim begin by discussing the early days of the transition team, the formation of the school, how the school has remained successful through enrollment and development and the work of the board of directors.  Tony's insights on how to connect alumni from the two previous schools with the current mission of Berks Catholic has proven very successful in raising over $5 million for their capital campaign less than five years since the merger.  Berks Catholic High School centers on four pillars: God, Family, Academics, and Fun. As a vibrant Christ-centered community, the dedicated Administration, Faculty, and Staff provide a challenging academic environment for a diverse population of young men and women. Through Christian principles rooted in the Catholic tradition, they strive to positively impact students spiritually, intellectually, socially, physically, and emotionally, so they can live productive lives of service in this world and attain eternal life. Next episode, we interview Mr. John Foster, Berks Catholic class of 2012.  John served as a member of the Berks Catholic Transition Team during the merger, and he has some great insights as he and his former classmates get ready to celebrate their 5-year reunion.  Daily Spiritual Reflection and Prayers on “Kristin's Crosses” Join Jim and Kristin Friend and their family on Kristin's Crosses YouTube Channel for “Today's Catholic Prayers.” Jim and Kristin offer the daily Gospel and Reflection along with the Rosary and Catholic Prayers of the day. Click here to visit the YouTube Page and subscribe.

John participated as part of the student council and the transition team to form Berks Catholic. As the President of the Inaugural Senior Class, John has an impressive perspective on the transition and his role.  John's 16-year formation in Catholic education inspired him to stay active and become an advocate for Catholic schools.  John and his classmates will celebrate their 5-year class reunion this summer. Six years ago, as a member of the transition team, John spoke out as an advocate for the new Berks Catholic High School and even then he was a student who stood out among the crowd.  See YouTube Video Part One and Part Two of John's witness for Berks Catholic back in 2011.

This case had relatively widespread social media coverage by those believing it was a sad suicide story, but the truth has come out. On September 23, 2019 at 4:30 PM, dispatchers were called to a home at 2442 Route 143 Kempton, Albany Township, Berks county, Pennsylvania by Lisa Snyder. A mother who says her son, Conner Seth Snyder, age 8, committed suicide by hanging himself with a dog lead from the rafter of their basement after telling her he wanted to build a fort with the new dog lead she had purchased. She claimed he was severely bullied in school and kept saying he wanted to die, but did not want to go alone, so, there hanging with him was his little 4-year-old sister, Brinley Louise Snyder, on the same dog lead. First responders responded to the 9-1-1 call about 11 minutes later, to find that Lisa claimed she had only briefly tried to get Brinley down from the lead but became sweaty due to her anxiety. The children passed away 3 days later on September 26, 2019. A large police investigation ensued, as this case was shady from the beginning, and on December 2, 2019, Lisa Snyder was finally arrested. She remains in prison while awaiting sentencing to see if she will receive the death penalty. There was no evidence suggesting Conner had ever been bullied.

You're not going to be starving for work for more than a week. There's always consistent work.The accountability really starts upfront when we onboard [subcontractors, suppliers, and trade partners]. There are two sides of the fence in this relationship: your side of the fence as trade partner, and my side of the fence as builder.Clean equals quality.We want people who not only want to be world-class or the best in their business, but they also care about the goals of the company and achieving them and working together to get there.
