Greetings my faithful readers of La Voz Hispana. In-credible and we are in March, as time passes. !e project of the school computer for Latinos, and other diverse groups that began as an idea in the Spanish Speaking Community Association two years ago, is al-ready a reality. !e decision to join the Sioux Falls Di-versity Council, and the organization GEIVA, and with

the help of Agustana College, and a number of other organizations, the project is a reality. I had the privilege of being in the "rst class of 12 La-tino students, and it was a pleasure to see how they enjoyed, taking notes, and marveled as the world of technology, appeared before their eyes. See-ing as in seconds, the news around the world came with a single click.

Now begins the second group of 10 new students, and we not yet o#-cially advertise the classes. !e need is out there, and the center Diversi-"ed Technology Connection, brought it. !e center is located at 512 N Sycamore, in the city of Sioux Falls, across the Washington High School. Classes are on Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., in Spanish, and soon in other languages. !e world of technology comes now, all thanks to these three organizations working voluntarily, and in harmony.

!"#$%%&'()*&+,#-&(./* Georgia’s agricultural industry has taken a big hit due to new immigration laws. Agriculture, which is a $69 billion industry, remains the state’s largest source of revenue

Since the implementation of the state’s immigration law, HB 87, the Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association has estimated that agriculture in the state has undergone a 40 percent labor shortage. Shorthanded farmers are preparing a range of di!er-ent solutions to the issue, including alternating crops and reducing the amount of acres they grow on. Farmers approximate that they have lost more than $10 million in crops that were unable to be harvested or were harvested too late, due to lack of workers.2012 may witness further setbacks for the state. Starting January 1, all employers with more than 500 employees will have to verify the eligibility of every worker, according to the new E-Verify pro-cedures administered by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Ser-vices, mandated by HB 87.In an e!ort to better inform U.S. law and policy makers of the impli-cations of di!erent immigration laws, the Agricultural Coalition for Immigration Reform was organized. Started in 2001, the organiza-tion has members from the fruit and vegetable industries, nurseries, dairies and livestock vendors from across the United States, accord-ing to the agricultural news source Agri-View.According to Craig Regelbrugge, co-chairman of the coalition and son of a Belgian immigrant, the coalition’s combined estimates from the various industries it represents indicate that up to 70 percent of the agricultural workers in the country weren’t born in the United States. Regelbrugge believes laws like H.B. 87 are naive and will ul-timately cripple U.S. agriculture without resolving the political dis-putes surrounding immigration.“It would’ve been easier if we had put a workable system in place 15 years ago than to try to deal with it now because the problem has grown in its size, scale and complexity as time has passed,” Regel-brugge said in an interview with Agri-View

!e study of linguistics is not a laughing matter -- unless you happen to have Stan Dubinsky as your professor. !e University of South Carolina linguist has been sharing jokes and puns and cartoons with students for more than 20 years as a way of helping them understand complex concepts about the science of language.

Using cartoon, which features the ambiguous use of the word “fried” (referring either to Turnkey’s hav-ing been drunk or to a way of cooking squid), Dubinsky is able to clearly explain how the structure of a sentence can alter its meaning. Seeing students’ amusement and satisfaction when they get the joke and the concept has kept him clipping cartoons for decades.

Dubinsky is particularly enamored of humor that involves play on words, sounds or grammar. Over the course of years teaching undergraduate linguistics he came to realize that the comic strips and panels he en-joyed so much were a wonderful teaching tool for a sub-ject that he says can “sometimes rival physics or chemis-try in detail and di!culty.”

“Cartoons and jokes are very useful as a teach-ing tool,” Dubinsky said. “Students love it when you pres-ent them with something amusing that also illustrates a main point in the lecture. In this respect, language-based humor turns out to be a great way to illustrate di!cult-to-grasp linguistic concepts.”

Once he realized that cartoons o"ered such lin-guistic gems, Dubinsky began perusing newspaper car-toon sections.

“I became an obsessive cartoon reader,” said Dubinsky. “I perused the cartoon section of #e State newspaper every day on the chance that there might be a cartoon I could use. Sometimes I would $nd two car-toons in a one day or sometimes not $nd one cartoon in two weeks. Gradually, though, my cartoon collection be-came enormous, and part of my regular teaching prepa-ration was picking out the comic strips that would work in class

Telephones certainly have made our lives easier. Have you ever thought about what your life would be like without your cell phone? Now imagine life without telephones at all. Social Security’s nationwide, toll-free phone service makes conducting business with the agency more convenient. Did you know you can call Social Security day or night at 1-800-772-1213?You can talk with a Social Security representative from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday. But today, telephones are used for so much more than talking. You can access recorded information and many automated services 24 hours a day — in-cluding weekends and holidays.

For those currently receiving bene!ts, you can use these automated services to report a change of address or telephone number, start or change direct deposit of bene!ts, and request a proof of income letter or a replacement Medicare card. In addition, everyone can use the automated services to request important Social Security forms such as an application for a replacement Social Security card or a Social Security Statement, and order some of our most popular public information pamphlets.

It’s hard to imagine life without phones — or Social Security without a nationwide toll-free phone number. Social Security is never more than a phone call away: 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).

For those who are still working, if your employer o!ers a tax-deferred savings plan like a 401(k) or 403(b) and they o!er to match any part of your con-tributions to it, there’s just no excuse for not con-tributing to it.

Beyond that, Amin wanted to remind us that peo-ple who are 50 or over are allowed to contribute even more money to their 401(k) and 403(b) plans. In 2012, that “catch-up contribution” limit is still $5,500. His next lesson applies to people who are still work-ing and saving, as well as to those who are now ready to tap their retirement funds. If you put all of your retirement money into your employer’s plan – thereby sheltering that income and the earnings on it from taxes until you withdraw it – you may actually end up paying more in taxes and manage-ment fees than you would if you spread that money around a little more. Let’s say you make $80,000 a year, putting you in the 25 percent tax bracket. When you withdraw money from your tax-deferred accounts, like your 401(k), it’s treated as ordinary income, so you’ll pay 25 percent tax on it. But if you’ve put money into a taxable account at a brokerage "rm, as long as you hold assets for at least a year, you’ll only pay the 15 percent capital-gains tax as you sell assets in that account. Meanwhile, while you’re focusing on drawing down your taxable brokerage accounts, the money

!is year, as the April 17 deadline for personal income tax "ling draws closer, you should give some thought to minimizing your tax bill through your retirement planning. It’s a complex topic that would require more than a few words to explain, but nationally-known tax expert Jordan Amin, a certi"ed public accountant (CPA) and chair of the American Institute of CPAs’ Financial Literacy Commission, has a tip for three di#erent groups of people: those who are 50+, still working and trying to save for retirement; those who have saved for years but now have to "gure out the best way to crack open the various eggs in their nest; and those who are wealthy enough to leave a legacy. in your 401(k), 403(b) or IRA is still growing tax-

free. Later, once you hit age 70 #, you won’t have any choice – you will be required to start draw-ing down those accounts and paying taxes on the withdrawals. If you can get by on the income from your tax-able brokerage account until you’re 70 # – and delay claiming Social Security until you’re 70 – you will stand a much, much better chance of having enough money to last the rest of your life. $at brings us to Amin’s "nal lesson, directed at those who are older, very wealthy and may have the luxury of leaving money to heirs. $ink about whether you may want to pay taxes now to con-vert a traditional IRA (in which you invested pre-tax dollars) into a Roth IRA. Roths have no re-quired minimum distributions, and neither you nor your heirs will pay taxes when you withdraw money from a Roth.For people who are planning to use that money some day, it may not make sense to convert in a down market. With a conservative investment portfolio, it may take too long to recoup the mon-ey paid in taxes to do the conversion.

An 80 years old woman went to her local doctor’s office and asked to speak with her doctor. When the receptionist asked why she was there, she replied, “I’d like to have some birth control pills.”Taken back, the doctor thought for a minute and then said, “Excuse me, Mrs. Glenwood, but you’re 80 years old. What would you possibly need birth control pills for?”The woman replied, “They help me sleep better.”The doctor considered this for a second, and continued… “How in the world do birth control pills help you sleep?”The woman said, “I put them in my granddaughter’s orange juice, and I sleep better at night.”

I worked hard, from veterans groups to issues of race and discrimination, human rights, human traf-!cking, adoptions ... so also has been a challenge to concentrate on everything at once.
