La Prensa’s Special Monthly Edition for the Mature Advisor, Southfield, MI

La Prensa Newspaper Staff

LOS ANGELES (AP): An-tonio Villaraigosa’s storywould be compelling in anylanguage.

The son of a Mexican im-migrant, raised by a singlemother, a high school dropout,he became speaker of the Cali-fornia Assembly, an adviser toJohn Kerry’s presidential cam-paign and, now, the front-run-ning candidate for mayor.

A Villaraigosa victorywould mark another milestonefor Latinos, whose politicalinfluence has been expandingfrom California to the WhiteHouse.

But to unseat Mayor JamesHahn, a fellow Democrat,Villaraigosa must navigate athicket of racial and ethnicpolitics in the nation’s sec-ond-largest city. With the elec-tion less than six weeks away,the race is challenging assump-tions that blacks are reluctantto support Latino candidatesbecause of lingering tensionsover who gets the spoils ofpolitical power.

Blacks were a key factor inHahn’s 2001 runoff victoryover Villaraigosa, with eightin 10 black votes going toHahn. But if Hahn, who iswhite, inherited the black votefrom his father—a long-serv-ing county supervisor lionizedin the black South Los Ange-les—the days of political hand-me-downs appear to be over.

This time around, a stringof marquee black endorse-ments for Villaraigosa coupledwith the mayor’s lukewarmblack support in the March 8

Toledo Board of Educa-tion President Larry Sykes’vitriolic character assassina-tion of former Board MemberAnita López in the ToledoJournal was inappropriate,crude, and was not about ra-cial tensions among theLatino and African-Americancommunities.

Mr. Sykes masked his trueintention with these accusa-tions. In our opinion he seeksto discredit anyone who dis-agrees with his actions on the Board or takes issue with hisperception of the accomplishments of the school district.

Ms. López was right on target with her comments about thefunctioning of the Toledo Board of Education and theirpriorities. The Urban Coalition and many of its members havefor years worked to effect change in the discipline process andthe high dropout rates of minority students, as well as manyother issues of importance to our children.

Many of our members have experienced first hand theassassination of their character simply to confuse and cloud themessage they were carrying. This type of behavior is intendedto censor the individual through intimidation and make per-sonalities more important than the issues and challengesaffecting our community.

We have serious issues and problems in Toledo whichrequires serious and steady leadership. Implying racial motiva-tions to the observations about board operations by a formerBoard Member is counterproductive in our efforts to reform TPS.

The Board has for years been dysfunctional with BoardMembers engaging in personal attacks on each other, unionleadership and community members at board meetings and inthe press. The board has been unable to establish unified goalsand direction that would demonstrate sustainable results.

Ms. López is again right on target when she says, “Thereweren’t any steps taken to make improvements, just steps to getgood headlines.” Many promises have been made and brokenwith most of the achievements touted by Mr. Sykes affectingbut a few students and without sustainable results.

Nonetheless, press conference after press conference hasbeen staged to convince all of us that action is being taken andresults achieved. It is a major subterfuge to keep all Toledoansfrom asking hard questions, demanding results, and determin-ing an accurate assessment of the state of public education inToledo.

If Ms. López is to be faulted, it must be for staying silent solong about issues the Coalition has known existed. Many ofwhich we have provided documentation to the Board tosupport our concerns such as the Toledo Plan. We could haveused her voice and support.

Nonetheless, we now believe the entire board is nothingmore than a rubber stamp for an entrenched, self-interestedbureaucracy that is centered on adult concerns. Our childrenare little more than dollar signs to this impersonal and defen-sive institution. In the central city you only have to look atacademic achievement of our schools to know that manychildren are being left behind!

It really does not matter to Mr. Sykes whether your skin isblack, brown, or white. What really matters to him is whetheryou agree with his opinions and perceptions or not. He hasdemonstrated a pattern of behavior that shows disdain forcommunity members and used intimidation frequently whenhis perception of reality is challenged.

Don’t be fooled by the rhetoric, our children have not beenserved well by the current board and administration regardlessof its makeup. It is time for a change!

In LA mayor’s race, a Latino candidate reaches out, and blacksare listeningBy MICHAEL R. BLOODAssociated Press Writer

primary suggest the vote is inplay.

“It’s the politics of subtrac-tion. (Villaraigosa) has to sub-tract a large element from themayor’s base—African Ameri-cans,” said John Pitney, a poli-tician scientist at ClaremontMcKenna College. “That willbe a giant step toward win-ning.”

It’s not just blacks. The lib-eral Villaraigosa, a former la-bor activist and one-time headof the local American CivilLiberties Union, must courtother political communitiesthat have looked at him with acold eye, including moderatesand Republicans.

But unlike 2001,Villaraigosa, 52, has lined upprominent endorsements fromRep. Maxine Waters, a Demo-cratic icon who supportedHahn four years ago, and cityCouncilman Bernard Parks,whose ouster as police chief in2002 damaged Hahn’s stand-ing in the black community.

For black voters, the issue isnot skin color or family legacybut “What are you doing forthe community?” saidFranklin D. Gilliam Jr., a politi-cal scientist at the Universityof California, Los Angeles, whostudies racial politics.

“In the primary, roughlyhalf of black voters voted for anon-black, even with a blackin the race,” Gilliam said, refer-ring to Parks, who finishedfourth and didn’t qualify forthe May 17 runoff. “It’s a bit ofa dramatization to say blacksjust won’t vote for Latino can-didates.”

Regina Robertson, 37, ablack school worker who votedfor Hahn four years ago, said

she is leaning towardVillaraigosa because of frus-tration over dead-end schoolsand gang violence.

“We are losing our kids.They are crying out for help,”Robertson said outside her SanFernando Valley home.

Despite its large and grow-ing Latino population—46.5percent, according to the 2000census—Los Angeles hasn’thad a Latino mayor since 1872.

The mayoralty “is part ofthe jewels of the crown as far aspolitical integration into Cali-fornia,” said Harry Pachon,director of the Tomas RiveraPolicy Institute at the Univer-sity of Southern California.

Pachon noted that Latinoand black political leadershave worked together for yearsin the state, adding that black-Latino friction tends to playout on the “street level,” forexample over jobs and in pris-ons.

In Los Angles, Latinos havegradually filled many of hoteljobs such as maids and janitorsthat once went to blacks. Inaddition, Latinos have beenmoving in to historically blackareas of South Los Angeles.

In interviews, black votersacknowledged some friction,but said that’s changing.

Some blacks might be re-sentful toward Latino immi-grants, fearing they will takejobs, but “We can’t run L.A.without the Latinos,” said 63-year-old real estate salesmanAlex Greene. “I don’t have thefear of the Latino takeover.”

Latinos have shared politi-cal power in California foryears, but Villaraigosa’s elec-tion would elevate him intothe national Latino elite—

even though the candidatedeflects talk of agroundbreaking candidacy.

In a diverse city, his ethnicitydemands a political balancingact.

Villaraigosa wants neitherto turn his back on his Latinoroots nor to be defined bythem—a candidate who hap-pens to be a Latino, not theLatino candidate.

On the campaign trail, hemoves easily between Englishand Spanish, depending on theaudience and publishes somebilingual campaign literature.

It’s practical politics. Someanalysts say Villaraigosa’sethnicity became a sort of fatalflaw in 2001, when Hahn’s cam-paign pummeled him for seek-ing the pardon of a convicteddrug trafficker. Hahn’s cam-paign defended the line of at-tack, but some say it played toracial stereotypes, linkingdrugs and race.

A candidate “should bejudged on his credentials andhis ability to lead,” said theRev. Ozell Cliff Brazil of BethelAME Church. He is supportingVillaraigosa, whom he says“needs to address the brownfear factor, because the first timearound, that’s how they paintedhim.”

While the city’s Latino popu-lation has been growing, theblack population dipped toabout 11 percent. Still, blacksmade up 16 percent of the turn-out in the March primary,Latinos 22 percent, accordingto a Los Angeles Times exit poll.

Villaraigosa’s ability to cutinto Hahn’s black vote will bea key question in the election,which could also turn on fac-tors including the falling crimerate, the Latino turnout or anongoing corruption probe atCity Hall.

Hahn, 54, has been point-ing to the lower crime rate andjob growth while depictingVillaraigosa as a vacillatingleader.

And, of course, it remains tobe seen whether blacks dissat-isfied with Hahn will simplystay at home on election day.

“There’s enough residualstuff there that it’s not a slamdunk” for Villaraigosa, Gilliamsaid.

Answers for Living the Last Months of Life

For my family, the answer

was right in our own home.

“When my father, Marcelino, found out he had a

terminal illness, he insisted on spending his final

months at home. He didn’t want to even think about

being anywhere else.

“My family wanted to have Papi stay home, too. We

believe in taking care of our own.

“Hospice of Northwest Ohio made it possible by

sending us doctors, nurses, aides and social workers

– plus coordinating his medicines and equipment.

Hospice responded to our every needand kept my father feeling good enough to enjoy many

visits with our big family.

“Papi’s final wish was to return to his original home,

Puerto Rico, for his last days. Hospice of Northwest

Ohio arranged to transfer him to a hospice program

there, where he passed away in peace. For me and my

family, the compassion of Hospice really hits home.”

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP):Authorities determinedThursday three volunteersinvolved in a civilianproject to watch the bor-der and report illegalcrossers may have pulleda prank on an illegal im-migrant but did not holdhim against his will.

The Mexican man hadtold sheriff’s deputies hewas detained and forcedto pose for a picture hold-ing a T-shirt with a mock-ing slogan. A review of a15-minute videotape pro-vided by Bryan Barton,one of the three volun-teers, showed the T-shirtthe man was holding read:“Bryan Barton caught anillegal alien and all I gotwas this lousy T-shirt.”Barton was wearing anidentical shirt.

“The county attorney’soffice reviewed all avail-able evidence, that indi-cates that there was noforcible detention, there-fore the case is not sub-stantiated, and no chargesare pending,” said CarolCapas, a spokeswoman forthe Cochise County

The Michigan Commis-sion on Spanish-SpeakingAffairs (COSSA) is urgingMichigan’s U.S. Senators tooppose the REAL ID Act(H.R. 418), which it believeswould negatively impactLatinos and other minorities.

“Many in the MichiganHispanic community haveexpressed their concern to ourcommissioners about the po-tential consequences this leg-islation could have at the lo-cal level,” COSSA Chairper-son José Reyna said. “We feltvery strongly that we couldn’tsit silently while legislatorsdebated our future.”

COSSA is urging law-makers to oppose the legis-lation, which it feels not onlymisses the mark in protect-ing national security, butcould result in severe ramifi-cations, particularly to mi-nority populations.

In a letter to U.S. SenatorsCarl Levin and DebbieStabenow, Reyna wrote:“Although the members ofthe Commission are appre-ciative and support the ef-forts to improve homelandsecurity and protect our na-tion from terrorist threats andattacks, the proposed legis-lation does not effectivelyadvance those goals. On the

Sheriff’s Department.The sheriff’s depart-

ment, Mexican ConsulMiguel Escobar, and theU.S. Border Patrol alsoagreed the 26-year-oldman was not detained, saidCapas and Border Patrolspokeswoman AndreaZortman.

The man, who was notidentified, apparently didnot initially tell a BorderPatrol agent he had beendetained, but did so wheninterviewed later bysheriff’s deputies, Capassaid. The man allegedwhen he tried to get away,the volunteers ran in frontof him and would not lethim go by.

The Mexican man re-mained in custody Thurs-day and will be goingthrough formal proceed-ings to send him back tohis country, Border Patrolspokeswoman AndreaZortman said.

The volunteers in-volved in Wednesday’sincident identified them-selves as members of theMinuteman Project—amonth long effort that has

people from around thecountry spread out along astretch of the Arizona-Mexico border to report un-documented migrants andsmugglers.

Law enforcement offi-cials have said they fear theproject will lead to vigi-lante violence. México’sforeign relations depart-ment also pledged in thedays leading up to the ci-vilian operation to pursueall legal and diplomaticmeans to stop the volun-teers and ensure they do notviolate the rights of Mexi-can citizens.

Wednesday’s incidentwas the first reporting anypossible detention, thoughvolunteers earlier assistedan immigrant in distress.

“The Minuteman projecthas created a powder-kegsituation with the poten-tial to go beyond harass-ment and false imprison-ment to real violence,” saidEleanor Eisenberg, execu-tive director of the Ameri-can Civil Liberties Unionof Arizona, which has legalobservers keeping an eyeon Minuteman volunteers.

contrary, members of COSSAbelieve that it will result in aseries of negative conse-quences.”

The commission believesthe legislation would:

•Jeopardize national secu-rity by forcing immigrantsfurther underground.

• Overturn the strong butflexible federal driver’s li-cense standards that justpassed in the IntelligenceReform Act. It imposes rigidand burdensome new require-ments on all 50 states.

• Result in negative anddisparate treatment for mem-bers of minority, particularlythe Latino communities.

“Current law already barsterrorists and others whopresent a security risk fromgetting asylum in the U.S. Thisbill is very broad and wouldalso block many refugees whoare fleeing religious or politi-cal persecution as well,”Reyna added. “While we mustprotect our country from ter-rorists, it shouldn’t be at theexpense of genuine refugees,immigrants and minoritypopulations in the U.S.”

The bill, which was intro-duced by U.S. RepresentativeJames Sensenbrenner (R-WI)on Jan. 26, passed 261-161 inthe U.S. House, and referred tothe Senate Committee on theJudiciary where it currently

NCLR, LULAC, Commissions, others opposeReal ID Act remains. The bill would es-

tablish and rapidly imple-ment regulations for statedriver’s license and identifi-cation document securitystandards.

Senate Democratic LeaderHarry Reid issued the fol-lowing statement regard-ing the REAL ID Act, leg-islation that would makeit harder for genuine refu-gees in need of protectionto seek asylum, severelylimit access to administra-tive and judicial, and giveunprecedented power toprivate bounty hunters togo after immigrants:

“I oppose REAL ID. Thislegislation would makesweeping, unwise changesto U.S. laws on asylum andborder security and is op-posed by a broad range ofreligious organizations,privacy advocates, andhuman rights groups, aswell as representatives ofstate and local govern-ments. This controversialpiece of legislation wouldnot make us safer. Itshould not be included inthe supplemental appro-priations bill, which mustbe enacted quickly in or-der to ensure vital fundingfor our armed forces andtsunami relief.”

MEXICO CITY (AP),April 6: A two-year renova-tion project at the home-turned-museum of legend-ary Mexican painter FridaKahlo has uncovered a vastwardrobe of previously un-discovered clothing andother valuable artifacts.

Commonly known as theBlue House for its indigoexternal paint job, Kahloand her husband, famedmuralist Diego Rivera, livedin the home in the Mexicancapital’s fashionableCoyoacan neighborhooduntil her death in 1954.

Rivera turned it into amuseum four years after herdeath, but it wasn’t untilwork to restore areas closedto visitors began last sum-mer that officials found the180 articles of clothing—which included traditionalMexican dresses depicted inKahlo’s famous self-por-traits, as well as shoes, shawlsand Pre-Hispanic jewelrythat belonged to her.

Also discovered werephotographs taken byKahlo’s father, Wilhelm, aphotographer born in

Baden-Baden, Germany.There is also a pair of ear-rings believed to be a giftfrom Picasso.

“We were all surprised bythe dimensions of this trea-sure,” said IgnacioCustodio, an administratorof the Kahlo museum. Headded that the artifacts werefound when workers“opened spaces that wereclosed for many years.”

Many of the dresses re-cently discovered are fromthe southern Mexican stateof Oaxaca, where seam-stresses often tailor fashionsaccording to centuries-oldIndian tradition.

Kahlo was especially in-spired by artistic traditionsof Oaxaca’s Tehuantepec,where women continue tohand-embroider traditionaldresses according to ZapotecIndian traditions, said HildaTrujillo, the Blue House’scoordinator.

The painter looked up tothe women of Tehuantepec,who often served as the headof their households, follow-ing strong matriarchal tradi-tions, Trujillo said.

During her life, Kahlobecame a mythic figure inMéxico—famous for hermarriage to Rivera as well asher communist ideals andher celebration of nativeMexican dress and jewelry.After her death, her famegrew in this country andaround the world.

The Blue House is nowone of México’s most-vis-ited museums. Rivera or-dered any artifacts recov-ered in the house to staythere—making it the onlyplace the newly discoveredclothing will be on display.

Museum officials expecta special exhibition featur-ing the finds to ready inabout a year.

“This should attract morepeople to the museum,”Trujillo said. “The articlesare a very important part ofher artistic life and person-ality.”

Las 10 de la farándula1. Los Kumbia Kings no

se conforman con ser los reyesde la cumbia, ahora tambiénquieren ser los reyes de lasnovelas y por esto handecidido aceptar unainvitación del director de lanovela juvenil Rebelde,Pedro Damián, para grabarunas escenas que fueronhechas en Guadalajara. Laagrupación está llena deproyectos pues están enplena promoción de su más

reciente disco Fuego.2. Recuerdas el problema

que se armó entre el grupoPalomo y Pepe Aguilar por lacanción Miedo, quecompuso Fato? Puesprepárate para el Deja Vu,porque al parecer al Gigantede la Ranchera, le acaban degrabar otro tema. Resulta quehace pocos días Pepe seencontró con el italianoTiziano Ferro para grabar otrotema de Fato, Mi Credo, y nofue sino sacarlo a la luzpública para que deinmediato el grupoduranguense K-Paz de la Si-erra lo tomara prestado ehiciera su propia versión.

3. Amor, amor, amordiscos la recibieron.Como salido del tema SinDocumentos de LosRodríguez que dice, “quieroser el único que te muerda laboca”, fue el percance queterminó con el labio heridode Alicia Villarreal en Gua-temala. La cantante seencontraba dando unconcierto en ese país cuandoun fanático se prendió de sulabio cual garrapata. Aunque

el individuo la dejósangrando, la güerita pareciótomar con buen humor elincidente.

4. A casi 10 años de lamuerte de Selena, el legado yla influencia que hanheredado algunos famosos esinevitable, tal es el caso de laguapísima Niña Buena,Mariana Seoane, quienasegura que gracias a lacantante tejana, ella es lafigura que representa hoy endía.

5. Ana Bárbara semanifestó ante la muerte delPapa Juan Pablo II, de quienella ha sido fiel admiradora, ydijo que guarda un intensorecuerdo del fallecidoPontífice, pues en 1993, cuandofue nombrada Embajadora dela Canción Ranchera, fue alVaticano y allí participó con lamelodía Despierta, en la misaque él oficiaba.

6. En inglés: Los LonelyBoys will hit the road for the“Brotherhood Tour,” kick-ing off the tour May 3 atDodge Arena in Hidalgo,Texas. Twenty-three showsare scheduled, most in thewestern United States. Thetour will wrap up in High-land, Ill., on Aug. 20. JoiningLos Lonely Boys will beOzomatli and Calexico. Thetour plans to celebrate thecollective heritage of Latino-Americans in music. In Feb-ruary, Los Lonely Boys wona Grammy Award for best popperformance by a duo orgroup with vocal for their hit“Heaven.”

7. The Selena tribute heldlast Thursday in Houston wasawesome. ¡Viva Selena!

Los chistes de la semanaCuál es la diferencia entre

un árbol y un borracho?Que el árbol empieza en

¿En qué se parecen losdinosaurios con los hombresinteligentes?

En que los 2 seextinguieron.

En qué se parece un patocojo a un pato viudo?

The East Toledo WrestlingClub (ETWC) was at it againduring the April 1st weekend.

The local wrestling club, foryouths aged five to 14, partici-pated in the Grade SchoolChampionships at BowlingGreen State University, an eventthat drew about 750 wrestlersfrom five districts.

The top five in each districtqualified for this tournamentand ETWC had 21 qualify withthree as alternates. The uniquething about this tournament isthat it was filmed by ESPN!

ESPN had wanted to do adocumentary on youth wres-tling for some time, accordingto a network spokesman. A rep-resentative went on-line to in-vestigate some well-knownclubs. After speaking with oth-ers, he was directed to Ohio ashaving some of the best wres-tling in the nation. An Ohiowebsite referred him to ETWCas being one of the most com-petitive.

ESPN decided to send acommentator and two film crewmembers to the club’s Thurs-day practice. They filmed andinterviewed the coaches andathletes during the two-hourpractice, went to weigh-ins forthis weekend’s tournament andfilmed the entire tournament(both Saturday and Sunday).As always, ETWC had a verysuccessful showing at the event.

Last year ETWC had threewrestlers who placed in the topfive: Jerome Robinson (first),Tim Prittke (second) and BryceCastilleja (fifth). This year wehad a multitude of qualifiersand placers.

The following wrestlersqualified: Jaxon Davis, NickKern, Kyle McGibbeny, RonRamsden, Jacob Rettig, JamesReddig, Zack Kern, EstebanNiño, Chase Leedy, BryceCastilleja, Jarrod Davis, JayNiño, Antonio Zapata, PeteZapata, and Christian Peters.

Placing eighth: ChadSonnenberg, Division 3, 100pounds; Tim Prittke, Divison 3,110 pounds; placing seventh:Ryan Vlinski; placing sixth:and Michael Reese, Division 2,90 pounds.

Taking a strong fifth:Jeremiah Anderson, Division1, 55 pounds; and taking a strongfourth: Nathanial Hagan, Divi-sion 1, 50 pounds.

Three ETWC athletes werein the finals: Ed Silva, ChanceSonnenberg, and MarioGuillen.

Ed Silva finished second inthe Division 2, 90-poundweight class, to the delight ofhis coaches.

Sonnenberg won the Divi-sion 1, 85-pound crown.

Chance dominated his oppo-nents in the last two matches,pinning his opposite number inthe finals.

Mario Guillen had severalvery exciting matches en routeto his state title. He beat fourdistrict champions, two of whomhad been projected as possiblestate winners. The champion-ship match went back and forthas Mario apparently took thelead after being tied 8 – 8 in thethird period. He put his oppo-nent on his back for threepoints—according to one ref-eree. However, a second refereewaved off the points because hesaw Mario lack hands before heturned the other wrestler.

So his opponent was up byone point when Mario turnedhim again with only secondsleft. This time the points didcount and Mario went on tosecure his division 1, 45 poundstitle much to the delight of theheavily partisan ETWC crowd.

Mario, just seven years old,is a fierce competitor. He obvi-ously has great technique,strength, stamina, and athleticability. But what sets him apartfrom his competitors is that herefuses to break mentally. Hewill keep wrestling until thatlast second of the match hasended.

Felipe Martínez (an ex-ETWC wrestler, who now com-petes unattached) also lived upto his billing. He put on a clinicas coaches like to say. He de-stroyed his opponents on theway to his Division 3, 90 poundstate title. Felipe had two pinsand two technical falls, one com-ing in the championship match.Felipe, an excellent technician,routed a very worthy opponent17-0.

“Felipe has a way of makinga very good wrestler look verybad,” said one of the coachespresent at the event.

ETWC has been successfulover the years because of itsvolunteers—coaches, staff andparents. The coaches are: GaryBurgess, Earl and HectorRamirez, Ray Castilleja, TonyKern, Steve Anderson, ChrisMcGibbeny, Jeff Ludlow,Herman Abitua, Donny Burgess,Ed Silva, Sr., and MikeCoopman. The program coordi-nators are Tracy Garufos andTammy Lorton. And, of course,family support has been invalu-able.

Editor’s Note: HectorRamirez has been an assistantcoach with ETWC since itsfounding 13 years ago. LaPrensa reporter Fletcher Wordcontributed to this feature.

GEMINI: (May 22 - June 21)The darker side of family members’ personalities may

emerge if you are dealing with money. Remember that you canonly do so much when someone else controls the situation. Arequirement of personal interaction must be that you will betreated as an equal. No need to divulge secrets.

CANCER: (June 22 - July 23)You are in danger of being seduced by something that has

an attractive outer appearance, but won’t hold up under closescrutiny. If greed is a part of your motivation, put a stop to itimmediately. Don’t criticize another unless it is done with thecompassion.

LEO: (July 24- August 23)Your energy level is at top speed—slow down and be a bit

more cautious. It’s time to talk about your need for a great dealof independence in relationships, so there are no uncomfort-able surprises later. Clarify your point of view and assureothers no offense was meant.

VIRGO: (August 24 - September 23)Romance is in the picture, but beware of jealous behavior.

Point out that you are no one’s possession. Words of love mayget an immediate response, but be assured that you areappreciated. Your primary relationship will distract you fromyour work if you don’t get a grip.

LIBRA: (September 24 - October 23)Your ideas and information could make the difference, be

sure you inform those who can get the wheels turning. Self-sacrifice for the sake of loved ones is a joyful gift. But thereare those who might want to take exception to your plans.

SCORPIO: (October 24 - November 22)Clear communication will be very important. Follow up as

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 - December 21)An unexpected money gift will give you the chance to try

something new. You feel like you’re walking off the edge ofyour usual routine, and the feeling is exhilarating. Take careof your own needs, which may include taking some time foryourself. Be prudent.

CAPRICORN: (December 22 - January 20)Always remember that change is the only constant—for

your idea of self may be a bit shaken up now. Attitude iseverything when dealing with situations and people out of thenorm. There are a few relationships important to you that needattention; be sure to state your needs clearly.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 - February 19)Something important you have been looking forward to is

about to appear. Don’t let your ego get the best of you andinduce you to do something really risky. You’re looking fora leadership role, but the time isn’t right. Wait for the perfectmoment to make your bid.

PISCES: (February 20 - March 20)All seems quite well this week. In fact, you are probably

sitting on top of the world. This satisfaction can come fromseveral areas. Perhaps your love life is improving, or you mayhave just accomplished something at work. Pay very closeattention to all you hear now.

IF THIS WEEK IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Your daily grindmay now become more frantic and all consuming, which maylead to depleted health. Rest and relaxation are definitely inorder for the next several months—to rejuvenate your frazzledenergies. Make sure all communications are crystal clear;messages may get easily confused.

Mexican Horchata:A refreshing cold drink made of rice, almonds, cinnamon

(canella), lime zest, and sugar. This drink is rumored to be acure for a hangover and is fre-quently served at breakfasttime. Even though the drinkhas a milky appearance it iscompletely dairy-free.

HISTORY:Horchata was an old-world drink brought to the new

world by the Spaniards and later enjoyed by the Aztecs. InSpain, horchata was made with ground melon seeds, butreplaced with squash seeds in México. Later, almonds andrice were added.

INGREDIENTS (Serves: 6 – 7):6 tablespoons rice6 ounces (about 1 1/4 cups) blanched almonds1 inch cinnamon stick (canella)3 “2-inch” strips of lime zest (rind only, not the whitepithy part) 3/4" long1 cup white granulated sugar

INSTRUCTIONS:The traditional way to make horchata was with a metate

y mano, but soon to be replaced by a blender.Pulverize the rice using a metate y mano or blender. Grind

the mixture as smooth as possible. Combine the rice with thealmonds, cinnamon, and lime zest. Let this mixture standovernight (minimally 6 hours).

Place the mixture in the blender jar and blend for at least3 - 5 minutes until the mixture is smooth and no long has agritty texture. Add 2 cups of water and blend again for just afew seconds. Place a large sieve over a mixing bowl. Line thesieve with 3 layers of damp cheese cloth. Pour in the ricemixture, a little at a time and keep stirring to help the mixturego through the sieve. Once all the liquid has passed throughto the bowl gather the cloth together at the top, give it a twistand squeeze out any additional liquid.

Now add 2 more cups of water and stir in as much sugar,to taste. If the mixture is too thick, add water.

Cover and refrigerate. The drink should keep several days.Serve in a tall glass over ice.

HispanicLeadershipConference thisweekend

a cualquier candidato a losaltares, e incluso después deello el proceso puede tardarsiglos. Pero con varios millonesde personas que rindenhomenaje a Juan Pablo, elcomienzo de la maquinariacanonizadora del Vaticanoparece casi inevitable.

El padre Peter Gumpel, queencabeza la causa para lacanonización de otro papa, PíoXII, dijo el jueves que pensabaque Juan Pablo era ciertamentedigno de ese privilegio, y queera posible que su caso seaprocesado por la vía rápidacomo el de la madre Teresa.

“Creo que se dará la máximaprioridad a su causa”, dijoGumpel en una entrevista. “Esbien posible, con vista a laimportancia y la granadmiración del presente Papa,que se acelere elprocedimiento”.

Fue el propio papa JuanPablo quien cambió las reglasy permitió que el Vaticanocomenzase el proceso debeatificación y canonizaciónde la madre Teresa apenas unaño después de su muerte, enlugar de los habituales cinco.La madre murió en el 1997 yJuan Pablo la beatificó en el2003, en lo que constituye elpaso previo a su eventualcanonización.

Gumpel excluyó emperotoda probabilidad de que elsucesor de Juan Pablo dispongasu canonización inmediata, sintomar primero los pasosnecesarios para beatificarlo.

“Creo que esto escompletamente absurdo y noes probable que ocurra”, dijoGumpel.

No obstante, hay unmovimiento callejero parahacer justamente eso en favordel hombre que elevó a losaltares a a más santos queninguno de sus predecesoresen los 500 años previos a supontificado. Varios diariositalianos informan ya depresuntos milagros atribuidosa la intercesión de Juan Pabloy muchos vendedores romanosofrecen camisetas con el letrero“San Karol”.

“La iglesia decidirá a sudebido tiempo”, dijo encambio el autor católicoVittorio Messori, que colaborócon el Santo Padre en laredacción de su éxito de librería``Cruzando el umbral de laesperanza’’.

Por su parte, el cardenalestadounidense FrancisGeorge dijo que no habíaescuchado hablar a sus colegasdel sacro colegio acerca de unavía rápida para la canonizaciónde Juan Pablo, pero agregó que“no me sorprendería en loabsoluto” si el proceso habitualse acelera.

“Creo que la idea tendríamuchísimo respaldo”, dijo elprelado.

• Santana llama a Bushde “bestia” y le dedicatema en Costa Rica

SAN JOSE (AP): Miles depersonas congregadas la nochedel miércoles en esta capitalpor la guitarra de Carlos

Breves:(Continuación de p.1)

Santana ovacionaron no solosu música, sino sus críticasabiertas al presidenteestadounidense George W.Bush.

“Pelear es una bestia... comoBush. El es una bestia”, dijoSantana al agregar que no quierever más peleas en el mundo y lededicó al gobernante unacanción que dice... “you got tochange a little wise (tienes queser un poco más sabio)”.

Poco antes había rendidoun sencillo homenaje alfallecido Papa Juan Pablo II,como se podía esperar, con suguitarra tocando una melodíasuave mientras las tres pantallasgigantes transmitían imágenesde una paloma en vuelo.

“Vamos a rezar para que eneste mundo haya más paz ymisericordia... tú y yo somosarquitectos del futuro. Conrespeto de lo que ustedes crean...con respeto al Papa, vinimos deuna luz, estamos de visita yregresamos a la luz”, expresó.

Pero cambió el ambienteque se había vueltosúbitamente silencioso con eltema “Yaleo” del disco querepresentó su renacer artístico``Supernatural’’, para seguircon la mejor parte del conciertodonde tocó ``Black MagicWoman’’ y su clásico ``Oyecomo va’’.

Invitó a varios niños delpúblico que se aglomerabafrente al escenario y dándolesmaracas y panderetas continuócon “Smooth”, “Dame tu

amor”, “Corazón espinado”para cerrar con las esperadas“Jingo” y “Evil Ways”.

El músico dejó constanciade que es un grande.Transcurridos 30 años de suprimer visita al país, llenó elestadio Saprissa con un públicomultigeneracional que iba delos cinco a los 80 años, gentecon sus cabellos canosos peroque soportó las dos horas ymedia de concierto.

La presentación habíaarrancado con el tradicional“Soul sacrifice”. Siguió conpiezas como “Put your lightson” y “María, María”interpretadas por el cantantede la banda Andy Vargas y lospresentes literalmente sederritieron con “Samba pa’ti”.

Una pausa y apareció en elescenario el argentinoAlejandro Lerner que se echóal bolsillo a todos con lacanción compuesta por él “Hoyes ayer”, dedicada a losinmigrantes que han muertomientras buscan un mejor fu-turo.

“Los mojados son loseuropeos, no los latinos,porque ellos no cruzan un ríosino todo un océano para llegarhasta acá”, dijo Santana sobreuno de los tantos temas de losque habló con sus seguidores.

El concierto fue parte de sugira “Embrace the light” quepasará por varios países delCaribe y Centroamérica. Ya lohizo en Panamá y seguirá en ElSalvador.

Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur and Latinos(Continued from page 1)

assertiveness—Kaptur isissue-oriented as opposed toparty-oriented. Her districtwas even recently redrawnby the majority-controlledRepublican congress, toinclude most of LorainCounty (excepting theDemocratic-controlled cityof Lorain), in the hope thatthis would aid in her demiselast November. This was not to be, withKaptur winning easily overLarry Kaczala (LucasCounty Auditor), garnering68% of the vote. Why? Because CongresswomanMarcy Kaptur has been anextremely effectiveadvocate for her district,especially for blue collarand minority workers.

As an example, look at herstance on NAFTA (NorthAmerica Free TradeAgreement). Kaptur hadbeen opposed to NAFTAfrom inception, despitepressure from the Clintonadministration, and shereminded this reporter thatthe past 11 years bears outher position, “that NAFTAhas had a devastatingimpact on workers, costinglosses of jobs and income,both in the United States andMéxico.” January 11, 2005 markedthe eleventh anniversary ofNAFTA’s implementation.NAFTA promoters,including many of theworld’s largest corporations,promised it would createhundreds of thousands ofnew high-wage U.S. jobs,raise living standards in theU.S., México, and Canada,improve environmentalconditions, and transformMéxico from a poordeveloping country into abooming new market forU.S. exports.

NAFTA opponents,including labor,environmental, consumer,and religious groups, arguedthat NAFTA would launch arace-to-the-bottom in wages,destroy hundreds ofthousands of good U.S. jobs,undermine democraticcontrol of domestic policy-making, and threaten health,environmental, and foodsafety standards. History has proven that theNAFTA opponents,including Kaptur, to be themost accurate in theirassessments. For the same reasons,Kaptur is opposed to CAFTA(Central America Free TradeAgreement). “CAFTA wouldbe an extension of NAFTA, arecipe for more job losses,”reiterated Kaptur.

Social Security The Congresswoman isopposed to changes in SocialSecurity, as suggested byPresident George W. Bush,“especially how it wouldaffect Latinos.”Kaptur had the statistics rightat her fingertips. “We shouldn’t gamblewith Social Security. It is afterall an insurance program andnot an investment one.Statistics show that Latinosare 40 percent more likely tobe disabled than non-Latinos, and they need thissecurity. Latinos live 3-4years longer than non-Latinos. They need thissecurity. “Currently, 21.3 millionLatinos receive SocialSecurity—75 percent ofthem rely on Social Securityfor the majority of theirincome, and for 41 percentof them, it is their onlyincome. We should not

tamper with theeffectiveness of thisprogram. Such changeswould be detrimental to themajority of Latinos,”remarked Kaptur, “withapproximately 40 percentcuts in benefits to them.”

Latino causes During her tenure, Kapturhas been very supportive ofLatino issues, Latinos, andLatin America, includingher recent co-sponsorship ofseveral bills/resolutionshonoring César E. Chávez. She welcomes thecommunity to honorChávez and even suggeststhat some federal fundingwould be available for sucha project, such as “thecommissioning of a Latinoartist to build a statute in ahistorical setting, honoringthis great Mexican-American labor leader.” Kaptur was not certain asto what venues were themost appropriate, be theythe Green Belt, SchneiderSoccer Complex, or somepark, “but the place selectedshould be a public place andvery visible, with historicalsignificance in mind.” “A committee should beestablished for community-input in establishing theappropriate venue or venuesfor Chávez,” said Kaptur,“but I strongly support suchan undertaking.” She refers to the late JudgeJoseph A. Flores as “a mostextraordinary humanbeing” and has been highlysupportive of the FarmLabor OrganizingCommittee (FLOC) and itspresident, BaldemarVelásquez, calling itsSeptember, 2004 contractwith the Mt. Olive Pickle

Company, “a world-classachievement.” “The provisions of FLOC’scontract should have beenin the original provisions ofNAFTA, once enacted, butthey weren’t,” said Kaptur. “Toledo is an amazingcity. It is on the cutting edge.Who would have thoughtthat Toledo would be thelocation of the Mt. Olivecontract? Most would haveguessed Los Angeles,Chicago, or some city in thesouthwest,” exclaimed thecongresswoman. Marcy has also beensupportive of establishingbetter ties with México, bethey economic, social, oreconomic. She believes thatchanges need to be maderelative to the Latinoguestworkers in the UnitedStates and as suggested byVelásquez of FLOC andother civil rights groups. “I look forward to VictorSuárez coming to Toledo inMay. Hopefully, the trip willaid in developing better tiesbetween this area and

México,” said Kaptur.Suárez is a MexicanCongressman and is one ofthe leaders of ANEC and therejuvenated farmers’movement in México, “ElCampo no Aguanta Mas,”which recently won someconcessions from theMexican government onfarm policy and NAFTA. Kaptur believes thatlegislation by and betweenthe United States andMéxico needs to be enactedthat addresses theseproblems along with thehigh remittance that Latinoguestworkers pay when theydirect billions of dollarsearned in the U.S. to LatinAmerica, which “can rangebetween 20 and 40 percentif taxed at both sides of theborders.”

Delegation to México Kaptur was proud to bepart of a six-person U.S.Congressional delegation toMéxico in 2003 thataddressed these issues, witha published report in 2004,

called: “NAFTA at Ten,Journey to México.” A future article in LaPrensa will address thehistory and implications ofthis report—a copy of thisreport appears on line atwww.laprensatoledo.com, inpdf (Adobe Acrobat) format. In concluding theinterview with La Prensa,Congresswoman Kapturexpressed some concernsabout the Real ID Act thatrecently passed the Houseand was in the process ofevaluating its impact. [Seepage 3 of La Prensaconcerning this act.] “I am proud to berepresenting the citizens ofthe 9th district and willcontinue to keep theirinterests at heart,”concluded Kaptur.
