Mollo was also a memberof the Ohio Department ofHealth Agricultural LaborCamp Rule Review Commit-tee. “Safe and decent hous-ing for farmworkers helps tosecure a steady flow of work-ers, which is key to maintainagriculture as Ohio’s top in-dustry.”

“It is also our obligationto ensure food safety for thepublic,” he added. “In addi-tion, improving housing con-

Other new standards in-clude a requirement for toi-let partitions to be installedin communal bathrooms,and for privies to be emp-tied on a weekly basis atminimum.

The Ohio Department ofHealth adopts and enforcesthe rules that govern hous-ing conditions in agricul-tural labor camps. The rulereview process occurs everyfive years, with the next re-view occurring in 2018.

LOS ANGELES, 16 VIII16 (AP): Johnny Depp y Am-ber Heard resolvieron supolémico divorcio el martesy la actriz retiró la denunciade abuso físico que presentócontra el superastro de Hol-lywood un día antes de quecomenzara una audienciapor una orden de restricciónen el caso.

“Nuestra relación fueintensamente apasionada ypor momentos volátil, perosiempre unida por el amor”,dijeron Heard y Depp en uncomunicado conjunto.“Ninguna de las partes hahecho falsas acusacionespor motivos financieros.Nunca hubo intenciónalguna de ocasionar dañosfísicos ni emocionales”.

Heard presentó unasolicitud de divorcio enmayo y días después obtuvouna orden de restricción trasacusar al astro de “Lospiratas del Caribe” dehaberla golpeado duranteuna pelea en suapartamento de LosÁngeles. Depp, de 53 años,negó haber abusado de ella,y la policía dijo que no hallóevidencia de un delito.

Heard, de 30 años, quienentonces llegó a la cortecon un moretón en la mejillaizquierda, justo debajo delojo, acusó a Depp degolpearla repetidas veces yarrojarle un celular durante

Lugo, que aterrizó en Ríocon palmarés panamericanoy un 19no puesto en el últimomundial de la disciplina,llegó a la lucha decisiva sinpuntos en contra. En cuartosde final se anotó una victoriasorpresiva sobre el últimocampeón, el iraní GhasemRezaei.

“Siempre tuve la mentepositiva, cuando le ganésentí que no me ganaba másnadie. EL rival en mi grupoera él”, apuntó Lugo, de 26años.

Aleksanyan, actualbicampeón mundial con 24años, “es un atleta de grannivel, muy fuerte. Es el másestable en la división”,comentó el cubano.

No pudo ser la terceradorada para Cuba, que liderael medallero de este deporteal que todavía le restanjornadas de acción.

“Se trabajó mucho en elcolchón, en la fuerza,tenemos varios centros de

entrenamiento”, comentósobre la clave del éxitocubano.

La cosecha de Cuba depreseas doradas en la luchagrecorromana empezó eldomingo, cuando Borreroacentuó su condición defigura y le dio a Cuba suprimera en los Juegos deRío al vencer al japonésShinobu Ota en la divisiónde 59 kilogramos.

Y el lunes, sucompatriota López derrotóal turco Riza Kayaalp en lafinal de la categoría de 130kilos e igualó a la leyendarusa Aleksander Karelincomo los únicos hombresen conquistar tres medallasolímpicas de oroconsecutivas en esadisciplina.

“Me queda seguir dandolo mejor de mí en el otro cicloolímpico”, avisó Lugo, conla medalla en la mano, comosi fuera demasiado peso parasu cuello.

August 23, 2016:ProMedica officials say mi-nority business owners arereaping the rewards of a multi-million dollar constructionproject in downtown Toledo,as the regional health providerbuilds a new corporate head-quarters.

ProMedica representa-tives briefed Toledo CityCouncil on the project’sprogress at a public hearinglast week, reporting the newdowntown headquarters ismore than halfway completeand may be finished ahead ofschedule next year.

A development agreementbetween ProMedica and thecity of Toledo called for mi-nority inclusion goals amongthe construction workforce,subcontractors, and suppliers.That agreement called for a15 percent minority inclusionrate on all construction andsupplier contracts.

John Jones, ProMedicavice president of diversity andinclusion, broke down thenumbers for three projects:renovation of the former To-ledo Edison steam plant, con-struction of a new downtownparking garage, and renova-tions to the former Key Bankdowntown headquarters.

Jones stated $5, 041,000worth of work on the steamplant renovations went tominority-owned businesses(MBE’s) or women-ownedbusinesses (WBE’s), repre-senting 16.2 percent of the$31 million worth of contractsawarded for that phase of theproject.

The renovations to KeyBank are estimated to cost $9million. Jones told a city coun-

cil committee that minorityand women-owned busi-nesses received $1.6 millionworth of those contracts, or18 percent of the project.

According to Jones,ProMedica awarded $3.7million, or 15.7 percent, ofthe estimated $24 millioncost of the new parking ga-rage to minority or women-owned contractors and sup-pliers.

“Based on that agree-ment, I think we’re doingpretty decently today,”Jones said.

Ron Dulay, an executivewith construction managerRudoph-Libbe, told a citycouncil committee theproject was broken downinto three major segmentsand special efforts were madeat minority inclusion. Dulaystated a special meeting washeld with minority andwomen-owned businesses inJune 2015 to lay out theproject and discuss biddingopportunities. Jones stated85 people representing 40-plus companies attendedthat initial meeting.

“There were really threeprojects. As it turns out, webid all three projects sepa-rate and bid them in phases,so there were multiple op-portunities and you’ll see

the same contractor had achance to get in on multipleprojects,” Dulay explained.“We had over 50 specificbid items among the threeprojects that gave opportu-nities and within those, usand some of the prime con-tractors further broke thosedown to give additionalopportunities to both con-tractors and suppliers.”

Dulay stated Rudoph-Libbe reached out to morethan 100 companies “whohad the capability and ca-pacity for the work.” Theconstruction manager andProMedica even paid for aminority printing firm tohelp provide bid documentsfor MBE’s and WBE’s. Hecalled the bidding process“95 percent complete.”

ProMedica polled itsemployees to come up withnames for the various build-ings across its new corpo-rate campus. The former KeyBank building will be re-ferred to as “The Junction”and the parking garage willbe known as the “Prom-enade Park Depot.” Ap-proximately 1,000ProMedica employees willeventually relocate to thenew downtown headquar-ters following its comple-tion sometime in 2017.

The Ohio Latino HealthSummit heads to Cleveland thisweek, as panels discuss ongo-ing health issues and the latestbreakthroughs affecting themedical, emotional, and socialwell-being of the Latino com-munity. This year’s summit willbe held Friday, Aug. 26, 2016in Cleveland.

“Latino health in Ohio mir-rors national trends. Heart dis-ease and cancer are the diseasesthat take more lives in the His-panic community,” explainedLilleana Cavanaugh execu-tive director of the Ohio Com-mission on Hispanic-LatinoAffairs (OCHLA). “However,we are also impacted by diabe-tes, chronic liver disease andobesity, among others. Genet-ics play an important role; but,we are aware that cultural fac-tors, access to care and the en-vironment are important ele-ments that impact the abilityfor Latinos to stay healthy.

“Our goal with the summitis to engage those involved inLatino healthcare at all levelsto ensure that the conversationacknowledges the challengesby focusing on how to decreasethe health disparity divide.”

The Ohio Latino HealthSummit is an annual event thatbrings together health experts,organizations, and individu-als in order to shift thecommunity’s focus from a cura-tive approach to health dis-parities into a preventative

approach. The event is fundedby the Ohio Commission onMinority Health.

According to Ms.Cavanaugh, the summit alsois a means to “identify oppor-tunities and collaborations toimprove the quality of life forour community.” Thus, thesummit is aimed at both Latinoleaders or healthcare provid-ers helping Latino families.

Because of the topics cov-ered, nurses, social workers,and other licensed health careprofessionals are being offered5.5 continuing medical edu-cation (CME) credits for at-tending the summit.

“Both groups are impor-tant targets for the summit. Community developmentand empowerment is based oncollaboration and synergy,”said Ms. Cavanaugh. “Weneed the participation of allgroups, including the Latinopublic, to ensure improvedhealth practices and access.”

A select group of leadersand scholars in the health in-dustry are invited to share bestpractices from their own com-munities with the intention ofhighlighting programs andpolicies that are benefitting orharming the Latino popula-tion, as well as promoting waysin which these factors can beimproved and encouragingthe formation of a Latinohealth policy network.

The health summit also

hosts a variety of exhibitors toprovide a forum forthe exchange of contacts andideas, and for strengthening thecohesion of the Latinohealthcare community in Ohio.

The theme of this year’s sum-mit is “Our Children-Our Fu-ture,” so much of the discus-sion will center on pediatricand adolescent health topics.

“Every year, we select a topicof interest for the summit toensure we are able to go in-depth and touch on differentaudiences within our Latinocommunity,” explained Ms.Cavanaugh. “Hispanic/Latinos are leading on demo-graphic trends in the state;therefore, it is very importantto focus on the health and well-being of our youth.”

The morning portion of thesummit will feature a seriespanel discussions and presen-tations that participants canchoose, including deliveringculturally competent care,school-based and integratedhealth, transgender adolescentcare, youth weight manage-ment, comprehensive care forchildren with disabilities, andadolescent behavior involvingsexual health. Each of the paneldiscussions features ongoingprograms in CuyahogaCounty.

The afternoon’s keynotespeech will be delivered byDr. Robert Needlman, focus-ing on “Nurturing Bilingual

Literacy in Latino Children.”Dr. Needlman is the co-founder of Reach Out andRead, an award-winning na-tional early literacy program,and chair of Reach Out andRead Greater Clevelandwww.reachoutandreadgc.org.He is also the co-author of Dr.Spock’s Baby and Child Care,the iconic parenting book. Dr.Needlman practices andteaches Developmental andBehavioral Pediatrics atMetroHealth Medical Centerand is a pediatric care profes-sor at Case Western ReserveUniversity.

That speech will be followedby a featured presentation forall participants by Dr. Adrian

García, who will address “TheZika Virus Pandemic: A Les-son in Epidemiology and Glo-bal Health.” Dr. Garcia is origi-nally from Cuba and did his

residency in internal medi-cine and pediatrics atMetroHealth. He cur-rently serves as the chiefof residents and teachesmedical Spanish to medi-cal students at Case West-ern Reserve University.

“This year is our fifthLatino Health Summit andfor the first time, the eventis taking place outside ofColumbus. We hope tocontinue traveling with thesummit around the state toshed light to the differentLatino/Hispanic commu-nities across the state,” saidMs. Cavanaugh.

The event is funded by theOhio Commission on Minor-ity Health and is being held inpartnership with Cleveland-based MetroHealth.
