La presentadora de KCRA 3, Leticia Ordaz, recibió reconocimiento en cuatro categorías por su nuevo libro bilingüe para niños “Las Aventuras del Sr. Macaw”, en la 22.a edición de los Premios Internacionales del Libro Latino, durante su ceremonia virtual el 12 de septiembre de 2020. Si bien los latinos son uno de los grupos étnicos de más rápido crecimiento en los Estados Unidos, la literatura infantil no ha logrado reflejar esta tendencia. Solo el 5% de los libros publicados en los Estados Unidos presentan un personaje principal latino y, sin embargo, la etnia constituye el 18% de la población del país. Ordaz experimentó esta disparidad después de convertirse en madre. Ella y su esposo querían criar a sus hijos para
KCRA 3 anchor Leticia Ordaz was honored in four categories for her new bilingual children’s book, The Adventures of Mr. Macaw” by the 22nd International Latino Book Awards during their virtual ceremony on September 12, 2020. While Latinos are one of the fastest-growing demographics in the United States, children’s literature has failed to reflect this trend. Only five percent of the books published in the U.S. feature a Latinx main character, yet the ethnicity makes up 18 percent of the nation’s population. Ordaz experienced this disparity after becoming a parent. She and her husband wanted to raise their children to be both proud of their heritage and fluent in Spanish. They found it difficult to find bilingual books with positive Latinx characters

A 20-year-old man who had been married for just 12 days left home on his way to work. He was driving on Pleasant Grove Road in Sutter County in the early morning when he came upon a slow-moving truck. As he pulled out to pass the truck, the truck driver turned left in front of him. The young man attempted to steer back into his lane but his vehicle struck an un-flagged piece of metal extending from the back of the truck. He died in the resulting crash.
Expert witnesses brought in by the Arnold Law Firm proved that the truck, owned and operated by a hauling firm, should never have been on the highway that morning. Specifically, the rear and side turn signals did not work and the rear-view mirror was in a poor state of adjustment at the time of the collision. As a result, the driver, who had failed to properly inspect the vehicle before setting out that morning, couldn’t see the young man’s vehicle as it attempted to pass.
The poor condition of the truck, its lack of maintenance and the manner in which it was operated were found to be substantial factors in causing the collision that killed the young man. The testimony also established that the man had been making a lawful pass at the lawful speed limit and acted reasonably when he attempted to avoid the collision.
The man’s 20-year-old widow was awarded $3,767,000.77, his parents were awarded $185,131 and the family was reimbursed $11,899 in funeral expenses. Though money is a poor substitute for a young man’s life, this verdict demonstrates that drivers who endanger the lives of others will be held accountable for their actions.
