The Yeary Library at Laredo Community College will continue its celebration of English playwright William Shakespeare with a slide presentation and lecture on Monday, April 14.
Dennis P. Kriewald, long-time English professor at LCC, will deliver the presentation, Shakespeare’s Country, on April 14 at 12 noon in the Yeary Library, room 146. Admission is free and open to the campus body and the public.
Kriewald’s presentation will coincide with the 439th anniversary of the English playwright's birth on April 23. The talk will feature pictures of Stratford, and various monuments Kriewald has visited in London for academic advancement.
An instructor of developmental and freshman composition, and British literature at LCC, Kriewald specializes in teaching sophomore Honors British literature. He has studied for summers in English—twice at Cambridge University and thrice at Oxford University.
Kriewald holds a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts from Southwest Texas State University.
The
lecture is part of a month-long celebration at the LCC library, including an
exhibit showcasing books, postcards, memorabilia and a
three-dimensional scale replica
of the Globe Theater, where Shakespeare's plays were performed.
The display is a survey of the Bard's two principal places,
Stratford-upon-Avon—where he was born—and London, where his plays were
performed. Most of the collectibles are from the collection of LCC
English Instructor Dennis P. Kriewald.
The Yeary Library will also offer free movie showings upon request of the
Zefferelli versions of Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet.

Laredo Community College students and faculty members with a penchant for math and art will join their counterparts across the nation to celebrate Math Awareness Month on April 14 and 16 on the college campus.
This year’s observance will focus on the connection between mathematics and art, which dates back to thousands of years.
LCC Math Instructor Laura Huerta said that the ancient Greeks and Romans used mathematics in sculptures and to aesthetically design buildings.
In the 15th century Leonardo da Vinci wrote "Let no one read me who is not a mathematician."
In the 16th century Durer employed mathematics to introduce perspective in drawings.
In the 18th and 19th centuries mathematics was extensively used in the design of Gothic cathedrals, Rose windows, mosaics and tilings.
In the 20th century geometric forms were fundamental to the cubists and many abstract expressionists.
In recent decades several award-winning sculptors have used topology as the basis for their pieces.
To bring awareness to this observance on the local front, LCC will host two community-wide events.
On Monday, April 14, the LCC Math Department will host a Poster Competition for middle school students, and a Math Bowl for high school and college students. Winners of the competitions will receive prizes.
The celebration will continue on Wednesday, April 16, when LCC host a Math Awareness Celebration at 4:30 p.m. in the de la Garza Building, room 101.
Highlights of the event will include the presentation of a proclamation from the Mayor of the City of Laredo, proclaiming the month of April as Math Awareness Month in Laredo. The guest speakers of the celebration will be LCC Math Instructors Armando Perez and Jose Rico.
The event, hosted by the LCC Math Department, is free and open to students, faculty, staff and the community.
For more information about Math Awareness Month activities at LCC, contact Huerta by calling 721-5485 or 721-5441.

“Border Telecommunications and the Future”
conference brings border communities together to share
resources
A
"Border Telecommunications and the Future”
conference, was held at Laredo Community College on Friday, April 11, to unveil
FronteraTEC, a border-wide project seeking to increase technology-sharing
initiatives among community-based institutions. The conference also
assessed the regional impact of the state’s Telecommunications Infrastructure
Fund (TIF).
The conference was from 9 a.m. to 12 noon in the de la Garza Building, room 101, on the LCC campus. Persons interested in what telecommunications technology can mean for their community were encouraged to participate in the town meeting.
“Countless Texas children have benefited from the Telecommunications Infrastructure Fund,” commented State Senator Judith Zaffirini, who is expected to make opening remarks at the event. “In less than eight years, TIF has allowed Texas to surpass other states in creating access to technology for all citizens. Senate District 21 has received $38 million from TIF funding, and since 1995 the ratio of students to computer has changed from 20- to-1 to 4-to-1 in both rich and poor districts. Today 96 percent of Texas classrooms are equipped with Internet access. Nine hundred libraries now are information technology centers with high-speed Internet connections. The organizations using TIF funds include libraries, health care centers, county governments and schools. From the Rio Grande City Library to the El Cenizo Community Center, TIF funds are creating access to technology that otherwise would be unavailable.”
“The question now is to assess funding priorities and budget realities” she
continues. “TIF is an example of a government program that works. For Texans
to stay economically competitive, access to the latest computer technology is
imperative. Continuing to fund TIF is the best way to ensure that Texas keeps
narrowing the gap in the digital divide."
“I'm proud to have voted to establish the Telecommunications
Infrastructure Fund,” says Rep. Richard Raymond (D- Laredo). “I think we
have seen the direct positive impact that TIF funds have had on communities
across the state of Texas and in particular Laredo and surrounding areas.”
The
conference is expected to attract city and county officials, and members
of the state and federal delegation to open the conference with a “town
meeting–style” forum in which area leaders and residents share views on
today’s telecommunications technology and what the
future may hold.
The second
segment of the meeting is an introductory workshop for area schools, libraries
and health facilities to participate in the FronteraTEC border-wide online
inventory. Each school, college, library, and not-for-profit health care
facility in Webb, Val Verde, Maverick, Kinney, and Zapata counties has
been invited.
As the fiscal agent and lead collaborative partner for the FronteraTEC project,
Laredo Community College officials are pleased to be making a difference in the
Laredo community and surrounding region.
“This is an exciting endeavor which Laredo Community College is pleased to be
spearheading,” said LCC Chief Development Officer Blas Castañeda.
“By bringing our partners together, we will be able to implement ways
to share valuable resources through high technology.”
The conference at LCC is one of several being planned by the Rio Grande
Institute, a “border-focused” non-profit research and education organization
based in Marathon, Texas, in conjunction with the FronteraTEC consortium.
“Since its
creation in 1995, TIF has awarded over $80 million in technology grants to
institutions on the border,” says Len Materman, the Institute’s Executive
Director. “The grants to provide up-to-date computers and software, Internet
access, and staff training. Now, with tightening budgets and changing technology, TIF is
looking to ensure that this investment in our institutions can be sustained in
the years ahead. FronteraTEC will provide technical assistance to the
institutions, find new ways to share technology resources, and plan for the
future.” In issuing an invitation to participants Materman commented, “we
look forward to exploring with these communities the ways we can make TIF grants
more effective and have a free and open exchange on the future of
telecommunications in this region.”
Resource-sharing
between TIF grantees is a primary FronteraTEC goal. Materman said the
process is simple: “First, TIF grantees complete an online inventory of their
technology resources. Then, FronteraTEC consortium partners help the
participants build relationships with one another to fulfill their technology
needs.”
Materman
provides this example: “A rural health clinic in need of online health
information does not possess a high-speed Internet connection, while the
connection at a nearby library sits idle for part of the day. By allowing
doctors and patients to use library computers at certain times, the library
receives its operating funds, and the clinicians and their patients can
access the information they need.”
FronteraTEC is a
collaboration of the non-profit Rio Grande Institute,
Texas State Library, all border community colleges, and the border programs of
the UT and Texas Tech Health Science Centers, with funding from the
Telecommunications Infrastructure Fund (TIF) Board and the Tocker and RGK
Foundations. Information is available
online at www.fronteratec.org.

Director of FronteraTEC at LCC, by calling 764-5764 or by e-mail at jperez@laredo.edu.

Building on its most valued resource, its employees, Laredo Community College this week launched an internal training center that will provide technical skills to all levels of college staff. The Employee’s Technology Advancement Center (ETAC) at LCC was recently launched with a press announcement and open house. The ETAC is located on the second floor of Laird Hall, Room 276.
College Vice President Juan L. Maldonado said he was grateful for the support of the Texas Infrastructure Fund Board which provided a $134,577 grant to equip the employee training laboratory with hardware and software.
“We are an educational institution, and we are well-equipped to train our students in the latest advancements of technology, but we must also give our faculty, classified staff and administrators the same opportunities for personal advancement,” Maldonado said.
Goals of the ETAC are to provide employee training that will ultimately benefit the student, but the skills gained can enrich the employee immeasurably, said college President Ramon H. Dovalina.
“The employees themselves will be able to learn software programs that will give them marketable job skills that they can use at LCC, and that will help them advance their own careers,” Dovalina said.
“Faculty will be provided with the most up-to-date training on computer based teaching strategies, administrators will have better planning and management tools, and their support staff will gain valuable communication and productivity skills,” he added. “Ultimately, a better trained staff will help us deliver better service to our students using technology.”
using computerized class records, business communication, on-line testing, Microsoft programs such as Excel, Access, Word, Project, Outlook, PowerPoint, FrontPage and others.

The life and contributions of English playwright William Shakespeare will serve as the central theme for this year’s National Library Week celebration at the Harold R. Yeary Library at Laredo Community College.
The Yeary Library will host an opening reception for the exhibit, “Shakespeare’s Country” on Monday, April 7, at 10 a.m. in the library foyer. Students, faculty, staff and the community are invited to attend. Admission is free of charge.
The display will showcase books, postcards, memorabilia and a
three-dimensional scale replica
of the Globe Theater, where Shakespeare's plays were performed.
Most of the collectibles are from the collection of LCC English Instructor
Dennis P. Kriewald. He has visited
and studied in London on numerous occasions.
In addition to celebrating National Library Week, the college observance will coincide with the 439th anniversary of the English playwright's birth on April 23.
“The exhibit is a meaningful survey of the Bard's two principal places, Stratford-upon-Avon—where he was born—and London, where his plays were performed,” said Reference Librarian Bill Wisner. “There is something here for anyone and everyone interested in Shakespeare, his place in English literature and the life of his times. The show, we hope, will be especially well attended by students and the community.”
Kriewald will deliver a lecture and slide show on Monday, April 14, at 12 noon in the Yeary Library, room 146. The talk will feature pictures of Stratford, and various monuments Kriewald has visited in London.
The Yeary Library will also offer free movie showings upon request of the
Zefferelli versions of Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet.
For more information about National Library Week activities at LCC, contact
Wisner by calling 721-5280. The Library is
open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday from 8 a.m. to 12

LCC
pilot project training workforce for retail industry
Area retail businesses have an opportunity to take advantage of an innovative state-funded work force training project led by Laredo Community College.
The Texas Education Agency recently awarded a grant to the LCC Adult Education Department to develop and launch an 11-week, pilot project for persons seeking training to enter the retail industry.
LCC Adult Education Instructional Coordinator Hector Soliz says that 14 English as a Second Language (ESL) students with a medium proficiency level in ESL are participating in the program.
The first six weeks of the project are dedicated to providing participants with intensive instruction on retail workforce and customer service skills. The group is currently finishing its third week of training.
The last five weeks of the program will place the participants in valuable internships with area retail establishments, said Soliz.
During this segment of the program, participants will be required to work a maximum of 55 hours. The participating retail businesses will provide a stipend of $6 an hour, which the college will reimburse the business through the grant.
“It is a tremendous work force development initiative which Laredo Community College hopes will benefit the community and retail businesses,” said Soliz.
For more information on how local retail employers can participate in this project, contact Soliz by calling 764-5775 or by e-mail at hsoliz@laredo.edu.

Laredo Community College and its business partners will join forces on Thursday, April 10 for the second annual LCC EXPO. The event will provide college, high school students, and adults with the bridge between college and careers.
The EXPO is much more than a typical job fair, say organizers. In addition to connecting students with jobs offered by participating employers, the EXPO connects students with college faculty and staff who will provide information on the educational requirements of their chosen field.
The LCC Expo will be held inside the Maravillo Gymnasium from 1 to 6 p.m. on the LCC campus. In addition, the Expo will also feature a free, family-friendly outdoor celebration from 12 noon to 6 p.m. filled with music, dance and a variety of food items for sale by student organizations on campus.
“Students and potential employees will learn which college courses and degree plans will help them prepare for real jobs in the local marketplace,” said Employment Assistance Center Director Felix Gamez. “This is a valuable opportunity for students and adults to tap into a possible job opportunity or embark on a new career training opportunity.”
The LCC Expo will showcase an array of careers. College staff in admissions/registration, financial aid, counseling and other departments will also be available to assist participants.
Student clubs will sell a variety of taste-tempting delicacies for all to enjoy, ranging from BBQ sandwiches to chicharrones and aguas frescas.
Entertainment will add excitement to the event, courtesy of the talented student performers in the college’s Music and Dance Department and Laredo Independent School District.
Performances include a lunchtime concert at 12 noon in the Kazen College Center by the LCC Show Band.
Outside the Gym from 12 to 6 p.m., EXPO will feature the sights and sounds of the Palomino Cheerleaders, LCC Guitar Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble, Chamber Orchestra, Mariachi Palomino, and LCC dance groups. Special guests will be the VMT Magnet School Flamenco and Ballet Folklorico Troupes and the Martin High School Blazing Silks Tiger Guard.

Gator
Aid to benefit LCC Science Center critters
The community will have an opportunity to party with a wild flair as they support the growing environmental education efforts of the Lamar Bruni Vergara Environmental Science Center. Laredo Community College’s second annual Gator Aid dinner benefit will be held on Friday, April 11.
Billed as a celebration and environmentally friendly fundraiser, Gator Aid will be held at the LCC LBVE Science Center from 7 to 9 p.m. A taste-tempting catered dinner of either top sirloin or red snapper and other seafood delicacies will be served. The evening function will also feature romantic music under the stars performed by the LCC Guitar Ensemble. Tours of the Science Center’s newest exhibits will also be offered throughout the evening.
Admission to the benefit is $35 per person and includes a one-day family pass to the LBVE Science Center. Proceeds from the benefit will aid the growing gator family and other native specimens housed at the Center. Tickets may be purchased in advance or at the door.
Gator Aid is part of a grand celebration observing the fourth year anniversary of the Science Center.
The Science Center will celebrate its anniversary during its monthly Paso del Indio Nature Trail Work Day on Saturday, April 12, from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. The event will also serve to commemorate the observances of Arbor Day and Earth Day. Volunteers to assist in the planting of various native plants along the trail are greatly needed. High school and college students, businesses and friends of the environment are urged to join. Garden tools and water will be provided.
Located on the north side of the LCC campus in close proximity to the Rio Grande, the Science Center serves as a living laboratory for LCC students. It has also become an important center for science education for the region’s students in Grades PK-12 and a popular tourist attraction. Through its educational curriculum and hands-on approach, the Center promotes an understanding and respect for the relationship between man and environment.
The Center features hands-on demonstrations, water areas for live specimens native to the Rio Grande ecosystem, growing areas for native vegetation, wildlife diorama displays, a wetlands demonstration project and the adjacent Paso del Indio Nature Trail, which stretches over one mile long. For more information about the Gator Aid and the other celebration activity, call 764-5701.

LCC
Percussion Class in concert Friday
Auto parts and body parts may seem like unusual instruments to create music. But for students in a percussion class at Laredo Community College, those are just two “instruments” they will use to present their Spring Concert on Friday, April 11.
Music students in a class led by Instructor Thomas Zirkle will present a percussion concert featuring music composed mostly by Zirkle and his pupils. The event, sponsored by the LCC Music and Dance Department, will begin at 7 p.m. in the Kazen College Center. Admission is free and open to the public.
The pieces will feature African/South American drumming styles, body percussion, and non-traditional percussion instruments such as cardboard boxes, bottles, and automobile parts.
Among the highlights of the concert will be a body percussion selection written by LCC student J’hon Mansinghani, which shows the influence of rock-and-roll drum set playing of this young composer.
A trio piece composed by LCC student Carlos “Curly” Salinas, will showcase his passion for Latin-American percussion instruments mixed with a funk drum set.
“This is the first percussion ensemble that either of these students have written,” said Zirkle. “Some of the students are percussion majors at LCC, but most are not experienced percussionists. Several of our members are quite accomplished on other instruments such as flute, guitar, tuba, and cello.”
Other students to be featured in the concert will include: Hacel Arias, Jose Barrientos, Christopher Cantu, Eduardo Garcia, Alejandro Garcia, Carlos Herrera, Eliborio Lopez, Luis A. Ochoa, Victor Ramos and Arnold Yzaguirre.
For more information about the percussion concert, contact the LCC Music and Dance Department by calling 721-5330.
