See p. 21. 9AM-5PM La Prensa Político Página 2 Voters soundly reject election changes in Ohio By JOHN McCARTHY Associated Press Writer COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP): Promoters of four ballot issues that would have changed the way Ohioans vote took a solid hit on Election Day, but expect the Legislature to make changes on their own anyway. And one of the most vocal critics of the issues is ready to accommodate them. The issues would have opened absentee balloting to all voters, lowered the cap on individual campaign contributions and put boards, instead of elected officials, in charge of drawing legislative and congressional districts and overseeing the state’s elections. In the campaign against Issues 2-5, state Rep. Kevin DeWine acknowledged that the way the state draws district lines needs work. A board of elected state officials draws legislative districts and the Legislature draws congressional districts. All the mapmakers are Republicans. The ballot issue would have given that power to a judgeled board. In 1981, Democrats controlled the pencil and Republicans asked voters to change the rules. That issue lost badly as well. DeWine, a suburban Dayton Republican, said he’s going to study how the system can be changed “if there’s something reasonable.’’ “The problems are ones that were talked about 20 years ago in that the party in power uses the power of the pen for their particular ad- vantage without looking at the big picture,’’ DeWine said. ``The temptation is there and that’s what needs to be resolved.’’ Former Rep. Ed Jerse, a Euclid Democrat and the director of the issues’ campaign, said minority Democrats in the House should hold DeWine to his promise. “The current system is not a good one for redistricting. We should challenge the Republicans to present their solution to this,’’ Jerse said. Voters soundly rejected four issues Tuesday that would have overhauled the way Ohio runs its elections, ending a high-pitched campaign that had hoped to capitalize on a Republican investment scandal and complaints about last year’s presidential election. With 93 percent of precincts reporting, the absentee ballot question was behind 64 percent to 36 percent; campaign contributions, 67 percent to 33 percent; redistricting, 70 percent to 30 percent; and election oversight, 71 percent to 29 percent. The complexity of the ballot language likely was a major reason for the issues’ demise, said Gene Beaupre, a political scientist at Xavier University in Cincinnati. “That has to be a big contributor to it. To the opponents’ credit, they ran a wellfunded, effective campaign,’’ Beaupre said. The coalition backing the changes saw an opportunity amid an investment scandal that has cost the state $300 million and led to the conviction of Republican Gov. Bob Taft on ethics charges. The campaign came within a year of the 2004 election in Ohio, which gave President Bush his re-election victory. Proponents said changes were necessary to restore integrity to state elections and take big money out of politics. Opponents said the issues were nothing but a power grab by Democrats who have been on the political sidelines for 11 years. The contributions issue proposed lowering the limit from $10,000 to $2,000 for statewide candidates and $1,000 for legislative candidates. Republicans tried to defuse the absentee balloting provision by passing a similar idea in the Legislature. Taft signed the bill, but it won’t take effect until after Tuesday’s election. The last campaign during an election with no statewide races to capture the same attention was in 1983, when voters turned down a tax repeal and raised the legal drinking age for beer from 18 to 21. The last time as many issues were on the statewide ballot was 1992, when voters overwhelmingly approved term limits.

Linda Chávez, president of One Nation Indivisible, said the Voting Rights Act was expanded in 1975 to provide assistance to voters not proficient in English for political reasons and should not be renewed. Latinos have been the primary beneficiaries of the bilingual ballots section, but when the proviso was written, New Mexico and Arizona had elected Latino governors and five members of Congress were Latino. Lawmakers and civil rights groups opposed adding the section, she said. “They opposed it because discrimination against Hispanics .... while there was scattered and sporadic discrimination—it was nothing comparable to the discrimination that blacks faced in the Deep South,” Chávez told the Judiciary Committee’s panel on the Constitution. The bilingual ballots provision expires in 2007 unless U.S. Congress renews it.

Rebecca Vigil-Giron, New Mexico’s Secretary of State, testified that her office provides television and radio spots in English, Spanish, and the Navajo language on issues ranging from voter registration rules and deadlines to early, absentee and provisional voting. “It would be a serious mistake to underestimate the tenacious grip of racism that is always working against minorities in this country,” Vigil-Giron said. Magaret Fung, a spokeswoman for the Asian American Legal Defense Fund, said Englishlimited voters who need assistance are not only immigrants, but also naturalized citizens who have a right to vote. She cited examples of voter discrimination, saying a poll inspector in New York told Asian voters, “you Oriental people are taking too long,” and a poll worker in Virginia told a Laotian American voter: “You’re name is the longest I’ve ever seen.” In New Jersey, poll workers told voters they should learn English to vote. Latinos are the largest minority in the country and growth of the Latino population in Texas has made it a majority-minority state, according to U.S. Census population estimates released over the summer. In Texas, 104 counties or jurisdictions are required to provide Spanishlanguage assistance, ac- cording to the National Association for Latino Elected and Appointed Officials Educational Fund. The association, which seeks to improve Latino participation in government, says when the Voting Rights Act was extended to protect “language minorities.” Latinos, Asians and American Indians were subjected to literacy tests, “white only” primaries, Latino voting dilution through annexations, gerrymandering and at-large elections and economic reprisals, such as poll taxes, the association said. Chávez said she doesn’t oppose providing voting materials in other languages, but that states should make the decision and pay for the cost, along with private groups such as the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund. But Vigil-Giron said although several states have been urged by the Justice Department to follow the provision, 30 have asked for waivers until 2007, when the provision is set to expire. Chávez warned lawmakers to expect a legal challenge if the provision is renewed.

Fox promised to set up a hotline so that migrants who face abuse or discrimination from Mexican officials can call directly to the President’s office to make their complaints heard. Because migrants often return for the holidays bearing gifts, cash and new cars, they were often the target of extortion or robbery, sometimes involving police or other officials. The Paisano program, started in 1989, is intended to prevent such abuse and ensure a warm welcome for re- turning countrymen. “Woe to any public servant at any level who we catch treating returning paisanos badly,” Fox told a meeting of representatives of Mexicans abroad at the México City international airport, where many arriving migrants arrive. Fox said he would personally oversee the program. “The president will be traveling constantly from now through the end of the (holiday) season, without announcing the date or place of visits, to ensure that all public servants are fulfilling their duties,” Fox said. The program will also use undercover inspectors to ensure nobody is shaken down for bribes at airports or border gates. During the program, which runs through Janu- President Vicente Fox ary, about 1,300 volunteers will staff 113 posts around the country to help guide and orient returning migrants. Detroit’s Mexican consulate will announce the Paisano program on Friday, according to Isabel Flores of the consulate. Antonio Meza-Estrada is its cónsul, assisted by Cónsul Oscar de la Torre.

Las promesas de un trabajo por 10 dólares la hora—más de lo que ganaba en una semana en una fábrica de computadoras en su país— le llevaron a pagar otros 1.200 dólares para ser embutido en una furgoneta junto con otra docena de inmigrantes y conducido a 2.575 kilómeros de distancia, desde un refugio en Arizona hasta Misisipí. En el viaje no les dieron de comer—Ojeda recuerda que se le hacía la boca al oler los tacos que comía el conductor—y fueron desembarcados cerca del Centro del Batallón de Construcción Naval en Gulfport, donde Ojeda deambuló como un sonámbulo durante su primer día despejando los escombros que dejó el huracán a su paso. Se suponía que habría de cobrar 7 dólares la hora. Pero seis semanas después, Ojeda no ha recibido los más de 600 dólares que dice le deben por ocho días de trabajo intensivo desde el alba hasta el amanecer. Karen Tovar, la subcontratista para ese trabajo, admitió que no ha ACLU says government won’t release documents on exclusion of foreign scholars By ELIZABETH LeSURE Associated Press Writer Katrina dejó otras víctimas: trabajadores hispanos impagos GULFPORT, Misisipí, EEUU (AP): Una legión de inmigrantes hispanos que trabajan en las masivas tareas de limpieza y reconstrucción en la costa del Golfo de Misisipí, devastada por el huracán Katrina, se está llevando una desagradable sorpresa a la hora de cobrar sus jornales. A veces, el patrón sencillamente se esfuma. En otras ocasiones los trabajadores aguardan interminablemente esperanzados en promesas vagas de que alguien, en la complicada jerarquía de los contratistas, suministre los fondos para pagarles. El incumplimiento del pago es una violación de la ley federal laboral, pero estos trabajadores— millares, agrupados en cuadrillas que despejan escombros, emparchan los techos agujereados y limpian las casas asoladas por el agua—son especialmente vulnerables porque muchos están en el país ilegalmente. Después del impacto de Katrina, Armando Ojeda pagó 1.200 dólares para entrar clandestinamente desde México, en una Page 3 podido pagar a docenas de trabajadores un total de unos 130.000 dólares. Insistió en que no es suya la culpa y dijo que los pagos están demorados en una larga cadena de subcontratistas a menudo dirigidos por el Cuerpo de Ingenieros del Ejército Estadounidense. En determinado momento, Tovar tenía a 83 trabajadores limpiando la base de la Armada en cumplimiento de un contrato más amplio, por 12 millones de dólares, ofrecido por KBR, una firma que pertenece a la ex empresa del vicepresidente Dick Cheney, Halliburton. (AP): The U.S. government is withholding documents that could show whether immigration laws have been used to bar foreign scholars from entering the country for ideological reasons, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said. Among the documents the ACLU has sought are records showing the use of a section of the Patriot Act that allows the government to block people who have used their positions “to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or to persuade others to support terrorist activity.” ACLU attorney Melissa Goodman said Wednesday that the statute was constitutionally problematic, “especially if it’s being used in a way to prevent Americans from hearing ideas ... that they have a right to hear under the First Amendment.” The ACLU, the American Association of University Professors and the PEN American Center planned to file a lawsuit in federal court in Manhattan on Thursday seeking release of the documents. The U.S. State Department had no comment on the lawsuit, spokesman Tom Casey said. The ACLU said it believed the statute was used to revoke the visa of leading Muslim scholar Tariq Ramadan in August 2004 days before he was to begin teaching at the University of Notre Dame, in Notre Dame, Indiana. The Department of Homeland Security cited “public safety or national security interests” but released no specifics. Ramadan said at the time that there was nothing in his past to justify the ban and demanded that U.S. au- thorities give details of their investigation to clear him of the “untrue and humiliating” claims that he was barred because of ties to terrorism. The ACLU also cited the visa denial of Dora Maria Tellez, a former Nicaraguan Sandinista leader who was scheduled to teach a course at Harvard Divinity School, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The group filed a Freedom of Information Act request in March seeking materials involving the use of Section 411 of the Patriot Act and at least one other statute. It is seeking statistics, the names and occupations of people who have been excluded and documents that show how the law has been interpreted, Goodman said. The ACLU had received one document and notice that access to another had been denied, she said. Después de varias semanas sin cobrar, muchos trabajadores se fueron frustrados. “Les dije que cuando yo cobrara, les daría su dinero. Y me preguntaron cuándo’’, dijo la mujer. “Estoy segura de que no va a tardar mucho’’. Un vocero del Cuerpo del Ejército dijo que no tenía conocimiento de problemas con los pagos. Una portavoz de KBR no dio detalles sobre la limpieza de la base y remitió toda averiguación a la Ar- mada, que a su vez remitió a KBR toda pregunta sobre subcontratistas. Tovar dijo estar enterada de otros subcontratistas que desaparecieron con el dinero de los pagos y se preguntó si sus ex trabajadores creen que se irá a esconder a su casa en Carolina del Norte. “No sé si piensan que me fui con el dinero o si estoy tratando de esconder los fondos, porque yo no haría tal cosa’’, aseguró Tovar. ``En mi línea de trabajo uno opera en base a la confianza’’. Armando Ojeda no confía. No cree que le pagarán, aunque permanece entre la legión de trabajadores acampados en la costa. Su objetivo es girar a sus padres en Chiapas dinero suficiente como para compensar el costo de su viaje, que él mismo ha llegado a considerar una insensatez. “Fui un estúpido al venir’’, dijo ladeando la cabeza. “Fue una tontería, ni más ni menos’’.

At the request of the FBI, Chief Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Mary Beth Kelly late Tuesday ordered the secretary of state to preserve all absentee ballots, the applications to get them and the envelopes in which they were sent. The order, which came shortly before the polls closed Tuesday, said the ballots must be held by the state after being counted. “Now we can be satisfied that the ballots will be there and that the documents will be there,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Lynn Helland, who sought the order, said after the hearing. The judge also ordered preservation of records of City Clerk Jackie Currie’s Project Vote program, in which ambassadors go into the community and help senior citizens and disabled people prepare absentee ballots. Records to be preserved include Project Vote telephone logs and weekly work force reports of the project’s volunteers. Steven W. Reifman, attorney for Currie, called the order an unnecessary intrusion into the clerk’s power and said the FBI gruntled candidate who has sued Currie. “I think it is much ado about nothing,” Reifman said. Meanwhile, Currie lost her re-election Tuesday to challenger Janice Winfrey. With 99 percent of the precincts reporting, Winfrey had 53 percent to 47 percent for Currie. The state and Wayne County reviewed about 45,000 absentee ballot applications and determined that 1,500 to 2,000 apparently were handled by ambassadors, the state and county said. Last week, Kelly ruled that Currie had been breaking state law in how she handles absentee ballots. The judge ordered the secretary of state and the Wayne County clerk to oversee the absentee ballots. On Tuesday, a threejudge Michigan Court of Appeals panel denied Reifman’s emergency request to return oversight of absentee ballots back to Currie. Currie’s appeal accused Kelly of violating due process by “running the proceedings in an `ambush’ mode, leading to the ‘kangaroo court’ style proceedings and the ‘witch hunt’ that has ensued.’’ The motion, filed on behalf of Currie and the City of Detroit Election Commission, said Kelly lacked jurisdiction in the matter. It also said Kelly improperly reinstated portions of an order deemed “null and void” by the appeals court and ignored violations of Julie Picknell REALTOR 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. On Friday, Kelly held an emergency hearing and said there was credible testimony that Currie’s workers violated a previous court order to stop the ambassador program. Earlier, Kelly found Currie guilty of criminal contempt of court for defying her order and mailing 132,000 absentee ballot applications to people who didn’t request them. Kelly made her rulings in a lawsuit filed by Maureen Taylor, a City Council candidate who lost in the August primary but sued alleging that fraud kept her from winning or getting a recount. Stephen F. Wasinger, attorney for Taylor, said he could not believe that Currie’s office opposed preservation of the records. “I can’t understand why a public official would not want documents maintained,” he said. In late October, The Detroit News reported that Currie’s handling of absentee ballots was questionable. The newspaper found that people cast ballots even though they listed addresses at abandoned nursing homes or in one case, a vacant lot. The paper also said a master voter list included people who died or left Detroit. Associated Press Writer JoAnne Viviano contributed to this report.

Michael Sessions had 732 votes to 668 for Mayor Doug Ingles, according to unofficial figures posted on the city’s Web site. “It’s just a state of trying to believe it,” Sessions told the Hillsdale Daily News. “Especially that 732 people took the time to write my name in. My heart’s racing.” A cheer went up in the Sessions home when the results were announced over the radio. The Hillsdale High School student lives with his parents and 13-year-old sister Sarah. “I support him all the way,” said Scott Sessions, Michael’s father. “He has worked for it. He had the desire to do it.” Scott and Lorri Sessions at first had doubts about the wisdom of their son’s candidacy, the teen said. “They thought I was crazy and (were) pretty skeptical of my campaign, but now they have smiles from cheekto-cheek,” Sessions told The Blade of Toledo, Ohio. Hillsdale—population 8,200—is home to the 160year-old, 1,200-student Hillsdale College. Pending clearance by the County Board of Canvassers on Thursday, Sessions will be the youngest mayor in city history. Because the city’s electronic voting system counted all write-in ballots for Sessions _ the only official write-in candidate _ they will have to be manually reviewed and ballots that have other names or are illegible will be thrown out. Sessions was 17 and not yet qualified to get on the ballot in the spring. But one day after his birthday, on Sept. 22, he registered to vote. The next day, he signed up as a write-in candidate. He used $700 from a summer job to fund his race. “Right off, I’m not going to get their respect, they’ll say: ‘This kid could be my grandson,’” Sessions said of the City Council. “But it’s not about bossing them around, it will be about cooperating with them.” Sessions put up signs all over Hillsdale and cam- Mayor Michael Sessions paigned door-to-door. “A lot of older people really enjoyed talking to me. I looked them in the eye. Young people could relate to me,’’ he said. Ingles had asked earlier, “How much credibility does an 18-year-old have?” Following the election, Ingles said he would change nothing. “It’s an honor to serve in the City of Hillsdale, and I’ll continue to work to make Hillsdale a better place,’’ he said. Among the teen’s initial priorities are bringing jobs to the city, hiring a fourth full-time firefighter and meeting with the city manager and council members. “I’ve got to get acquainted with everyone first,’’ he said. “I’m just glad people are giving me the opportunity to show what I can do.” Ann Arbor Christian Concerts presents “Fernando Ortega - Live in Concert” Sunday December 4, 2005 7:30 PM Performing Arts Center Saline High School 1300 Campus Parkway Saline, Michigan 48176 (734) 662-6556 or (734) 786-3218 Information & Tickets @ http://a2c2.home.comcast.net/a2c2.html A unique blend of folk, pop, and inspirational styles of Contemporary Christian Multiple Dove Award-winning vocalist and songwriter Fernando Ortega showcases his talents at the Performing Arts Center of Saline High School for an evening of fellowship and inspirational music.

The lobbying effort, lead by delegates from the Michigan Department of Agriculture, Michigan Farm Bureau, Michigan Agriculture Commission, several commodity groups and private industry, could generate $10 million for the state under an historic agreement signed this week with the island nation. “Michigan is prepared to knock on doors here and abroad to promote our quality products, expand our markets and diversify the state’s economy,” said Mitch Irwin, MDA director. “Today’s agreement is just one of many doors opening and we intend to take full advantage of those opportunities.” “Although Michigan interests have sold limited products to Cuba in the past, it is clearly on the cusp of becoming an important trading partner,” said Jim Byrum, chairman of the Michigan Agriculture Commission. Under the agreement, Cuba intends to purchase Michigan agricultural products, such as apples, peaches, dry beans, potatoes, and cattle, over the next 18 months. Until now, only limited quantities of dry beans and turkeys had been imported. “To have Cuba’s buying agency pledge to spend $10 million on the purchase of Michigan agricultural products is a compliment to the state’s agricultural producers and demonstrates that Michigan has an international reputation for producing high-quality agricultural products. “This purchase is a terrific opportunity for the Michigan agriculture industry, and we look forward to fulfilling the contract with quality products,” said Wayne H. Wood, president of the Michigan Farm Bureau, the state’s largest general farm organization. Every year, Michigan’s second-largest industry generates $55 billion, employs 1 million residents and produces more than 200 commodities, of which a third is exported. In 2004, those exports generated $919 million and supported 12,400 jobs. Other members of the trade mission included Don Armock of Riveridge Produce Marketing; Bob Green of the Michigan Bean Commission; Ezequiel Giménez of North Bay Produce; and Julia Hersey of the Michigan Apple Committee.

Spokesman Bill White said the National Socialist Movement plans to demonstrate downtown Saturday, Dec. 10. Rioters looted businesses and threw bricks at police during the Oct. 15 rioting. The unrest lasted about four hours. Police arrested 114 on charges including assault, vandalism, and failure to obey police. The worst violence broke out after the march was called off and rioters turned their anger toward police because they felt officers were protecting the neo-Nazis and did nothing to stop their plan to walk through their neighborhood. Instead of a march through the northside neighborhood, the neo-Nazis plan to rally this time on the steps of City Hall for an hour or two, White said. He estimated there will be 80 to 120 members of the group. Fewer than two dozen members showed up for the march, but the group said others were denied access to the area by authorities. “We are looking into it to see what our next step will be,” said Mary Chris Skeldon, spokesman for Mayor Jack Ford’s administration. “We’ll have to see what they do, and we’ll have to respond.” Police said they had no confirmation of the group’s planned visit. White, a national spokesman for the group and unit leader for the movement’s Roanoke, Va., chapter, said he believes his group represents residents who disagree with how the police handled the group’s Oct. 15 visit in which rioters burned buildings and assaulted people. He said the group will apply for a permit if need be and that police have the responsibility not to break up the group’s rally. White said the group will be law-abiding and has no intention of rioting or provoking a riot. “We react in a calm and lawful manner,” he said. “But if somebody assaults us, we will not hesitate to defend ourselves.” Information from: The Blade, www.toledoblade.com. Ohio voter turnout was 39.7 percent (AP): Voter turnout in Ohio was nearly 4 percentage points higher than in previous oddyear elections. There were 3 million votes cast in Tuesday’s election, or 39.7 percent of Ohio’s 7 million registered voters, according to the final, unofficial count of Tuesday’s election. Turnout in 2001 and 2003 elections was 36 percent and 36.6 percent, respectively. Carlo LoParo, a spokesman for the the office of Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, said interest in the five statewide ballot issues was the reason for the higher turnout. The highest turnout by percentage was in Noble County, 60.2 percent. The lowest turnout by percentage was 28.9 percent, in Franklin County. The highest turnout by votes cast was in Cuyahoga County, where 362,906 votes were counted. The lowest turnout was in Vinton County where 3,710 votes were cast. On the Net: Office of Secretary of State tabulation: www.sos.state.oh.us/sos/ ElectionsVoter/ results2005.aspx?Section=1170 Nov/noviembre 16, 2005 ADAS distributes youth surveys to measure drug behaviors Toledo: Over the next two weeks, the Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services Board of Lucas County (ADAS Board) in conjunction with The Community Partnership will distribute more than 56,000 copies of the 2006 ADAS Youth Survey to public, parochial, and charter schools throughout Lucas County. School superintendents and principals have already agreed to participate in this ninth biennial study that focuses on youth in grades 5-12. Every other year since 1990 this survey has been conducted to collect basic health information, primarily concerning the use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs by young people. It allows the ADAS Board to identify current youth attitudes and behaviors relating the use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs and learn how youth gain access to these products. Youth participation in this survey is strictly volun- tary; parents have the option to have their children not participate. According to the ADAS Board Executive Director Thomas Bartlett, the survey is an invaluable resource to the community. “The ADAS Youth Survey creates a frame of youth reported reference for the ADAS Board in analyzing youth behaviors relative to alcohol and other drug use as well as their attitudes about alcohol and other drug use,” Bartlett said. “This local based information gives Lucas County service providers an excellent guide to assist them in tailoring prevention and treatment programming to address these issues.” It is important to note these results are not used to identify the individuals who participate in the survey nor the schools that agree to distribute them. Deacon Dzierzawski, Chief Executive Officer of The Community Partnership said this community survey seeks to gain input on a community problem. “Results from this survey in years past have played a critical role in molding prevention programming to meet the specific needs of the youth in Lucas County,” Dzierzawksi said. “Working to create a healthier environment for our youth is an issue involving all sectors of the community, well beyond the realm of schools; this survey gives us a tool to work with toward that goal.” All surveys will be completed and returned by midDecember; results are expected back in mid-April of 2006. Dr. William Ivoska of Owens Community College and Dr. Nick Piazza of the University of Toledo will work in tandem to tally and analyze the survey results.

In the background is attorney Bobby Kaplan and former Ford supporter Myron Stewart. María Rodríguez-Winter part of Carty’s transition team Last Friday at campaign headquarters at 10 South Superior Street in Toledo, Mayor-elect Carty Finkbeiner announced his transition team. Co-Chair of the team consists of Dennis Duffey, Rob Ludeman (Republican city councilman and former candidate for mayor), attorney Tom Palmer, Kathy Steingraber, and Myron Stewart (Editor of the Toledo Journal). The committee also includes: María Rodríguez-Winter, Teresa Graven, Perlean Griffin, attorney Bobby Kaplan, Bill Lichtenwald, Bob Moore, Jack Murphy, John Orser, Allison Perz, Bob Reinbolt, Al Smith, and former opponent, attorney Keith Wilkowski. Rodríguez-Winter is an All State insurance agent, with her office directly across from the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC) and the Sofia Quintero Arts and Cultural Center; she was instrumental in the creation of the latter, which currently is directed by Joe Balderas, whose name had been men- tioned as a possible replacement for Councilman Bob McCloskey of District 3, who was victorious Nov. 8 as a councilman-at-large. On Nov. 8, Finkbeiner (Toledo’s mayor from 1994 to 2002) defeated Mayor Jack Ford, 62 per cent to 38 per cent, for a 4year mayoral term commencing either Jan. 3 or Jan 2. of 2006. Mayor Ford had already appointed an interim officer to assist in the transition, which is believed to be Tuesday AM, Jan. 3, 2006, since Jan. 2 is a holiday. IMMIGRATION PROBLEMS?

Pablo Montero fue detenido durante el fin de semana por varias horas después de que riñó con los mariachis que se negaron a continuar amenizando una fiesta privada. Fuentes policiales indicaron que Montero fue conducido la madrugada del sábado a la oficina policial en el Municipio de San Pedro, en la zona Metropolitana de Monterrey, después del altercado. El cantante permaneció varias horas detenido hasta que pagó uno de los vidrios que rompió al vehículo donde se trasladaba el conjunto musical. “Hubo un problema dentro de la casa donde se realizaba la fiesta”, reconoció Montero en una entrevista con la televisión local. “Salí involucrado, porque cuando discutíamos y se abrió la puerta de la camioneta se quebró un cristal”, agregó el cantante. El altercado sucedió porque los mariachis decidieron no seguir tocando en la fiesta, ya que había vencido el tiempo por el que fueron contratados. Esa situación molestó a Montero por lo que discutió airadamente con los integrantes del grupo hasta que llegó la policía a detenerlo por quebrar el vidrio de una camioneta. 2. No estás viendo visiones, es el regreso de Lidia Avila, a quien parece le sentó muy bien el matrimonio porque regresó más delgada, con una imagen más sensual y con su segundo disco como solista, Así como me ves. De esta producción se desprende el primer sencillo A tu medida. Abre bien los ojos y entra, porque así como la ves de seria, también tiene su lado de femme fatal. 3. Después de 30 años de no tener una figura paterna, y de varios intentos por estar juntos, por fin Cristian Castro se reunió con su padre Manuel “Loco” Valdez, el cual señaló el encuentro como “emocionante y sentimental”. Padre e hijo estuvieron juntos en la ciudad de Miami, donde actualmente radica el cantante, y ahí el veterano comediante conoció a su nieta Simone, a quien por cierto la llama de cariño Simoneta. La reunión duró varias horas y fue privada, aunque se rumora que una revista mexicana pagó por la exclusiva. 4. El compositor mexicano Armando Manzanero rechazó hoy que inflija malos tratos a su esposa, Olga Aradillas, tal y como denunció la mujer tras ser encarcelada por el supuesto robo de un vehículo del hijo del artista. Carla Soto “Soy inocente de lo que me culpa; nunca la he maltratado ni dado algún golpe”, expresó Manzanero en un comunicado divulgado el miércoles pasado en Mérida Yucatán. 5. La recién ganadora del Grammy 2005 a la Mejor artista Revelación, la cantante española Bebe, se enfrascó en tremenda discusión con los medios de comunicación durante una conferencia de prensa convocada para dar a conocer su más reciente disco homónimo, del que se desprende el sencillo Malo. Estas fueron las palabras de la controversial Bebe: “No he venido a hablar, he venido a cantar y hasta que no me escuchen, no voy a hablar”, respondió la intérprete, quien sostenía una cerveza en la mano mientras se acomodaba en un sillón y amenazaba a los fotógrafos que intentaban seguirla fotografiando. Luego que Bebe lanzara amenazas contra los fotógrafos, algunos representantes de los medios de comunicación abandonaron el auditorio de la disquera donde se realizaría la conferencia, la cual estaba prevista para el pasado martes. En días anteriores la cantante había cancelado una conferencia de prensa en esta ciudad debido a una contractura en la espalda, sobre la cual se negó a dar pormenores. Sin importarle que la prensa saliera la intérprete dijo que haber ganado el Grammy “fue solamente una circunstancia”.

In 13th-Century Italy, seven forthrough ★ merly wealthy merchants who had vowed poverty and service to Christ prayed to be fed, and two baskets of food appeared at their door. They attributed the miracle to the Virgin of Divine Providence. Devotion to the virgin spread to Spain and Puerto Rico through a Spanish bishop. Later, in order to solidify the virginPuerto Rican bond, the Catholic Church changed the ★observance of her feast day to Nov. 19, the ★ island’s day Puerto Ricans celebrated the island’s discovery.

La palabra “sufrir” está presente en los titulares de la prensa el domingo, pese al triunfo que logró el combinado frente a los australianos el sábado en el Estadio Centenario, con el gol de cabeza de Darío Rodríguez a los 35 minutos, tras un centro colocado por Alvaro Recoba. “Ganar y sufrir’’, resumió el diario El País en su portada. El matutino señaló que Uruguay se impuso a Australia “con lo justo” y destacó que la “celeste” buscó “aumentar la diferencia pero no pudo”. También señaló que “el árbitro (danés) no cobró dos penales” favorables a Uruguay. “Con lo justo y a sufrir otra vez”, tituló El Observador. El periódico apuntó que el triunfo “dejó la sensación de que Uruguay pudo ampliar la ventaja ante Australia”, y alertó que “la diferencia de goles puede resultar decisiva para la clasificación” al Mundial de Alemania. La República destacó que “Uruguay ganó con gusto a poco’’. También indicó que el combinado local “dejó enormes dudas en cuanto a poder clasificar, fundamentalmente por la respuesta que tuvo dentro del campo, siendo netamente dominado en varios pasajes del encuentro’’. Uruguay está disputando este repechaje por haber ocupado el quinto puesto en las eliminatorias mundialistas de la zona sudamericana. Este duelo se vivió hace cuatro años, por el repechaje al Mundial de Corea-Japón 2002. En esa ocasión los australianos ganaron 1-0 en el partido de ida, disputado en Melbourne, pero fueron goleados 3-0 en Uruguay. Mundial: Inglaterra vence a Argentina, Brasil golea Por KRYSTYNA RUDZKI LONDRES (AP): Inglaterra necesitó dos goles de último minuto para vencer a Argentina. Brasil se encargó de despachar a Emiratos Arabes Unidos mucho antes. Michael Owen marcó dos goles en los últimos cuatro minutos del partido e Inglaterra venció el sábado 3-2 a Argentina, mientras que Brasil aplastó 8-0 al equipo árabe en una jornada de 11 partidos amistosos internacionales. Francia empató sin goles con Alemania e Italia derrotó 3-1 a Holanda, poniendo en marcha la cuenta regresiva de preparación para el mundial de Alemania 2006. Diez países también se disputaban el sábado cinco puestos en la Copa del Mundo en la primera ronda del repechaje. Owen, delantero del Newcastle y ex del Real Madrid, anotó su dupla de cabeza, a los 86 minutos y a los 91, dejando atónitos a unos argentinos que ya casi saboreaban la victoria con goles de Hernán Crespo y Walter Samuel. El partido se jugó en Ginebra. Wayne Rooney hizo el primer tanto de Inglaterra. “Inglaterra tiene un equipo muy fuerte, con muy buenos jugadores. Van a tener un papel estelar en la Copa del Mundo. Hicieron un buen partido”, señaló el técnico argentino José Pekerman. En Abu Dhabi, el técnico brasileño Carlos Alberto Parreira no tuvo que sufrir como su colega argentino. Los pentacampeones mundiales bombardearon de todos los ángulos y ahogaron el arco árabe con siete goles en el segundo tiempo. Parreira sustituyó a ocho jugadores, buscando evaluar su talento para definir la alineación que viajará a Alemania. Los reemplazos Juninho y Fred marcaron dos goles cada uno, y Kaká, Adriano, Lucio y Cicinho redondearon la goleada. Brasil terminó así un año de ensueño, en el que ganó la Copa América, la Copa Confederaciones, y la eliminatoria sudamericana al mundial. “Fue un año dorado, y fue agradable terminarlo bien. Espero que el 2006 también nos traiga mucha felicidad”, indicó Parreira.

Croacia también jugaba en Portugal. Holanda perdió su primer partido desde que Marco van Basten tomó las riendas del equipo en julio del 2004. Italia se colocó en la pizarra con goles de Alberto Gilardino y Luca Toni, y un autogol de Ron Vlar. Ryan Babel descontó por los holandeses. En tanto, Francia empató 0-0 con Alemania en París, extendiendo la racha invicta del técnico francés Raymond Domenech a 17 partidos. El alemán Bastian Schweinsteiger tuvo la mejor oportunidad a los 53 minutos al recibir en el área un pase filtrado de Michael Ballack, pero el arquero Gregory Coupet logró atajar el disparo.

December 19th, last day for Free Agents who are offered salary arbitration to accept or reject the offers. December 20th, last day for teams to offer 2006 contracts to unsigned players. This winter, it will be harder for clubs to find a “quick fix” in the Free Agent Market as the list of 278 is one of the smallest number of Free Agents in recent years. A total of eighty Latino players filed for Free Agency: 5 starting pitchers, 20 relief pitchers, 8 catchers, 6 first basemen, 10 second basemen, 5 third basemen, 8 shortstops, 15 outfielders and 2 (DH) Designated Hitters. The Top 10 list of Free Agents include 2 Latino players; L.A. Anaheim catcher-Bengie Molina and Atlanta shortstop- Rafael Furcal, who is seeking an annual $9M – 4 year deal. Also on the Top 10 list, pitchers A.J. Burnett asking $6M per season, Billy Wagner30M over 3 years, Kevin Millwood expecting $7M per season, B.J. Ryan, Trevor Hoffman, outfielders Johnny Damon, Brian Giles and 1st baseman Paul Konerko who is seeking $52M over 4 years. After the release of the Free Agents list, a few players who aren’t eligible found themselves in the headlines and perhaps on the move as well. Javier Vázquez-starting pitcher for Arizona is requesting a trade for personal reasons. The Spanish New York Media favors his returning to “la gran manzana,” The Bronx. The New York/Arizona trade for Randy Johnson did not turn out to be such a good thing for either teams. The flamboyant Manny Ramírez has asked to be traded on an almost yearly basis since joining the Red Sox in the 2001 season. In Boston, he has found fan admiration and success in the clean-up spot with the “Big Papi” of Fenway Park and the rumor now is that where Ramirez goes so will David Ortiz. Another trade speculation is that outfielder, Ichiro Suzuki is unhappy after five successful seasons playing for Seattle, and still no World Series ring. Fantasy baseball fanatics would have the two Japanese super-stars Ichiro Suzuki and Hideki Matsui teammates in the Yankee Stadium outfield. Take it from me; the Yankees Press Box would not be able to hold the Japanese media, let alone English and Spanish. On the list is a real Free Agent “find,” puertorriqueno, centerfielder Bernie Williams. After 14 seasons establishing new records for the Yankees, at 37 years of age, the time has come for Williams to “reinvent” his career. Will he remain with the Yankees as a DH; will home grown pinstripe Williams sign with another team or will the classical guitar, musically talented “youngster” find another “playing field”? The 2003 release of his jazz album “The Journey Within” is a huge success. Mrs. Waleska Williams is a talented chef. Amigos y amigas, solamente una idea. The couple has tons of money and I think a “jazzy café” could be a good business venture. On a more serious note Relief pitcher, Ugueth Urbina who was traded by Detroit to the Philadelphia Phillies during the middle of last season, last week was arrested in his native Venezuela and charged with attempted murder. While his name appears on the Free SPANISH AMERICAN ORGANIZATION 11th Annual VS Agent list, Urbina faces a bigger challenge off the field of baseball – his freedom. This is the second violent incident in the Urbina family, during September 2004; his mother was kidnapped by drug traffickers and held for a $6M ransom. She was rescued five months later. Urbina has said that the case, once again, comes down to people trying to take advantage of him. The Cleveland Indians: After winning 93 games last season, General Manager Mark Shapiro said “we need to sign back or replace our Free Agents.” Shapiro has a total of six that he needs to re-sign. Pitchers Kevin Millwood, Bob Wickman, Scott Elarton and Bob Howry and José Hernández. The Indians need a “big bat” and yes, they would welcome back the inexpensive Free Agent - Juan González, providing he were healthy. Other players who could return to the “Jake” include former Indian, outfielder Brian Giles. And, how about Manny Ramírez? He made his Major League debut in Cleveland 1993-2000. He recently said he would consider Cleveland if Boston would trade him. Signing Ramírez would be like playing the Ohio Lottery. The question is do the Indians Lottery Results for Saturday, November 12, 2005 want to play and do they have the dollar to pay? Ramírez wants $20-milliona-year. What’s up in Detroit? This season, Free Agents are not on the menu of the Tigers as the Toledo Mud Hens are in good position on the Tigers’ development ladder. Pitching. Justin Verlander, Joel Zumaya or Roman Colón who can pitch as a starter or reliever. It will be open competition for the rotation spots during Spring Training. Catcher. Ivan “Pudge” Rodríguez began his career with Texas as one of the youngest catchers to start in the Major Leagues. The 34-year-old veteran will be catching in his 16th season. After the stress filled, emotional, breakup of his 15 year marriage, and the frustration of the Tigers team falling way below expectations, the 2005 season was not a good one for Pudge.

He was 48. Corrales, who worked for the Times from 1981 to 1995, died Monday, said Frank Sotomayer, an editor at the newspaper. His photos of Southern California’s Latino community helped the Times win the Pulitzer for public service in 1984. Corrales invented, patented and manufactured the 360-degree Spinshot camera, selling about 1,000 units. Corrales also was an innovator in 3-D animation software and teamed with former Times photo editor Raleigh Souther in a company called Motion Graphix. The company, formed in 2000, specializes in software that creates two-view, hologram-like photographs for use as souvenirs, party favors or identification badges. Corrales, who built his first darkroom at age 10, received a bachelor’s degree in photojournalism from California State University, Long Beach. ABIGAIL R. FERNÁNDEZ Abigail R.

Hernández, home on November 7th, at St. Luke’s Hospital, Maumee, OH. Joseph was born on July 19, 1950, in Wauseon, OH to John Hernández Sr. and Betty (Mendieta) Hernández. He graduated from Bowling Green High School and later from Bowling Green State University. Joe had been a successful businessman in the insurance industry for 35 years starting his career with Woodsman Accident Insurance. He was an exclusive agent for Allstate Insurance for the past 30 years, where he was the first Latino agent ever to be hired in the state of Ohio. He owned a Toledo office and Napoleon office. He leaves behind a record-breaking sales legacy, including multiple life millionaire achievements and company conference awards. Though his awards have always been accepted in the limelight, he never ceased to love and appreciate the friendship of his loyal business manager, Judy Kitchings. Joe was a truly unique character with a personality that broke the mold. Within minutes of meeting, people would fall in love with him as if they had known him all their lives. His inimitable humor and infectious laugh brightened the lives of all who had the honor of knowing him. There was no line between family and friends with Joe. The love he had for his family is indescribable and only God can translate the words. Joe has left a footprint on the heart of everyone he has ever met. He spent his lifetime giving to others. He coached girls’ fast pitch softball for Perrysburg and numerous travel teams. He was a member of the Rossford Eagles and Napoleon Moose Lodge. He enjoyed playing golf, bowling, euchre, and fishing. He was a musically gifted soul using the drums, guitar, accordion, organ, and voice. He was a true entertainer when singing karaoke, anything Elvis, of course. Joe was also an avid prank caller, who would always get you no matter what. He left behind his soul mate and best friend, Teresa. He left behind his girls, who were the sparkle in his eyes, Victoria (Sam) Pratt, Jessica Hernández, Tami (Rob) Paulson, Traci Szegedi, and baby brat, Erica Hernández. Five grandsons and two grand-daughters will also smile with the greatest of memories. Also surviving are his mother, Betty; brothers, John (Nancy) Hernández and Tony Hernández. John Navarez and María Sherman will mourn a special uncle that was known to them as a father. Joe will walk hand-in-hand into the gates of heaven with his father and two sisters. At the time of his departure, he was surrounded by many loved ones. He will forever be missed, but never forgotten. The family suggests contributions to the American Diabetes Association or Northwest Ohio Kidney Foundation. JOSEPHINE P. NAVARRO Josephine P.

Having the veteran Jim Leyland as Manager is Detroit is a plus for Rodríguez and the Detroit Tigers. Cincinnati Reds. General Manager Dan O’Brien doesn’t expect participation in the Hot Stove season to be “all that hot at all”, after adding $17M to payroll last season and not getting winning results. The greatest need in Cincinnati is pitching and O’Brien has decided to venture other routes. O’Brien will spend the winter months working with 3 objectives: 1) checking the Minor League Free Agent pool, including the Far East and Winter Ball in Latin America, 2) arbitration with 9 of the Reds players and 3) considering trade options involving position players. Other teams have approached O’Brien about trades involving his four outfielders Adam Dunn, Austin Kearns, Willy Mo Pena, including catchers Jason LaRue and Javier Valentine. Ken Griffey, Jr. anyone? The Reds plans are to keep the left side of the Great American Ballpark infield intact with 3 rd baseman Edwin Encarnacion and shortstop Felipe Lopez.

Nov/noviembre 16, 2005 New holiday musical, “Mooseltoe: A New Moosica,” comes to LCCC Stocker Arts Center Stage Elyria: Looking for a new way to celebrate the holidays with your children besides The Nutcracker and Ebenezer Scrooge? Start a fresh new Christmas tradition with an enchanting new holiday moosical, “MOOSELTOE: A NEW MOOSICAL.” This family event has received rave reviews across the country, and descends onto the stage of Lorain County Community College’s (LCCC’s) Stocker Arts Center for one performance only at 3:00 p.m., Sunday, December 18. “MOOSELTOE: A NEW MOOSICAL” is an enchanting new holiday musical which was created by Jim Semmelman (book/lyrics) and George Kramer (music). It is the story of a moose with a dream to fly with Santa’s reindeer. Hero moose— Mooseltoe—pursues his seemingly impossible quest while learning many valuable lessons that are important for us all. The moose and his friends—all 16 unforgettable characters which include three snobby penguins, a walrus, and a talking snowball, not to mention two elves and Santa Claus himself—come to life in this colorful, magical, and whimsical tale. The ‘moosical’ includes eight original, delightfully melodic songs that accompany this hour-long odyssey of self-discovery. Celebrities from Broadway, television, and the movies provide the voices of Mooseltoe and his friends. John Cullum, of TV’s Northern Exposure; Al Roker, of TODAY Show fame; Tony Award-winner Faith Prince; Carole Shelly; and the leading ladies from Broadway’s “MAMMA MIA!” Karen Mason, Judy Kaye, and Louise Pitre, are just some of the celebrities whose voices are featured. An imaginative set de- signed by leading New York set designer, Edward Helbig, of NBC’s TODAY Show, creates the magical world that MOOSELTOE and his friends inhabit. Costume designer, Randy Carafagno, who is responsible for building and maintaining many of the costumes of the Broadway hit, “THE LION KING,” has designed 16 amazing and intricate costumes for the show. Parents will be able to take pictures of their children with Mooseltoe after the show. Tickets for this new holiday family tradition are $15 for adults and $10 for children (12 yr. and under) and are on sale at LCCC’s Stocker Arts Center box office, which is open from 12- 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 90 minutes before show time.

Lorain’s Escobar Toledo has its Louis Escobar and Lorain, Ohio has Dave Escobar, who, at 34, ran as an unopposed Democrat in Lorain, Ohio. It was his first race. Escobar successfully ran against three Democrats in the primary, with no Republican opposition on the Nov. 8 ballot. Escobar represents Lorain’s Third Ward where he sees one of the greatest concerns being the fact that “everybody’s flooding, and people are not being paid for their damages.” Much of Ward 3 experienced sewer backup and extensive flooding after mammoth, diluvian rains scoured the area. The Third Ward has a 60 percent crime rating, another problem Escobar is hoping to address. Did he have a large campaign organization? “I mainly did it by myself with the help of some close friends,” he says. Escobar works for Ohio Edison. “I read meters and do collections, and I’m a member of their First Response Team. My job has helped prepare me for being on council. I deal with people everyday—that and dogs,” he quips. Torres in Toledo In Toledo, longtime community activist Robert Torres won a resounding victory in his campaign for election to the Toledo School Board, being the top votegetter in that category, with 25,501 unofficial votes (20.09 per cent). Torres, the only Latino in Toledo and Lucas County to win office in the Nov. 8 election, is the director of Toledo’s Hispanic Affairs Commission (HAC). Why does Torres believe voters responded so positively to his campaign? “I think the voters felt disengagement with the school board and the school leadership,” he replies. “People were looking for a change. Our Three for Change grass roots campaign understood the needs of people in the neighborhoods,” he adds. Torres credits his core of volunteers with much of his success. “My campaign was not run by elected officials or political power brokers. My co-chairs, Delphina Mora and Tracy Martínez, are both mothers. “We got a message across to the community that grass roots are a positive force. We ran our operation on a tight budget. My two opponents outspent me three to one,” says Torres. Another factor in his election was his recognition that it is “important to be seen at every event in the community. Even for family functions, we were out there and physically visible. Everyone knew who we were,” explains Torres. Thanks to his volunteer corps, Torres was very seldom alone at any campaign stop. He estimates his hardcore volunteer group as comprising between 50 and 75 supporters. Thankful for his many volunteers, last Saturday, Torres met with his main organizers at El Camino Real restaurant in Toledo to plan a campaign support fiesta in December. Torres thanks Robert Guiterrez, his marketing guru, for including symbols in his campaign signs that “speaks to Latino pride, and showed pride in military service.” Guiterrez was only one example of Torres’ determination to use talent within the Latino community. His campaign treasurer, Sonya Troche, is executive director of Adelante, Inc., Jesús and Tammy Avila were responsible for his school appearances, and Michael Cortez had responsibility for house parties. Torres also credits Bill Lichtenwald, president of the Teamsters Union, Dennis Duffey, of the IBEW, and Jack Wilson, chairman of the Lucas County Democratic Party, with playing key roles in his victory. “They stepped up and supported my campaign and supported me personally,” says Torres of the three. When he analyzes the factors leading to his victory, Torres believes that “Most importantly, people wanted change. They wanted to change the school system, change the way they’re doing things, and change the status quo. “Our platform was a winning platform. At every one of the forums we were at, there was no doubt who people were going to vote for. In fact, at the very last forum, three of my opponents didn’t even bother to show up.” Elements of his platform that struck a chord with voters included community engagement, parental support, and school responsibility. He is especially vocal on the concept of parental involvement. “We need to put a parent at the table with the superintendent,” he explains. He will also fight to remove the ban on parents and others with whom the administration disagrees from attending school board meetings. Torres advocates a levy committee independent of TPS that will recommend what the administration should be doing. He is also greatly concerned about an alarming trend in the enrollment numbers. “We’re losing kids to charter schools,” Don’t pay or wait more, come to A u t o S e r v i c e J r. We have the best PRICE in Detailing & Hand Car Wash. Why Us? • We offer the best Mechanical work & the best Prices in Toledo • We are an HONEST company and everyone is welcome • Motor and Transmission work, next day pick up 35% or 50% OFF Mechanical Work Se lavan Motores within a hair of winning a seat on Council [shy by .7 per cent), could very well find himself as a member of that august body. As the next highest vote getter, his candidacy has a lot to offer in the event of a future vacancy on Council, as is speculated by the possible removal or departure of councilwoman Betty Schultz, who was recently named as one of the Noe conduits in a pending federal indictment against Thomas Noe, for illegal contributions to the BushCheney U.S. presidential campaign in 2004. Franklin County Incumbent Chris Rodríguez, 45, returns as Whitehall Council’s Ward 1 representative, winning 66.34 per cent to 33.66 per cent over Kelly Roule. It should be noted that Westerville Council incumbent Anne Gonzáles outdistanced five other candidates in Council races, including councilman-mayor Michael Heyeck, garnering 22.94 per cent of the total votes. She has been on Council since 2001, holds a B.S. degree in Industrial and Organization Psychology from Otterbein College, is married to Latino John Gonzáles, and the mother of three children. Lourdes Santiago Bob Vásquez Jay G. Pérez received 45.01 per cent of the vote in his unsuccessful campaign against Dwayne Maynard for Franklin County Municipal Court Judge. This is not the Jay Pérez of Tejano fame, but a successful attorney in Columbus. All in all, tremendous accomplishments by Latinos/ as—Hasta La Victoria!

When asked how soon will he be involved in making changes to the current school board, Torres replied, “From day one.” Steven C. Steel, who is married to Latina activist Catherine Hernández, also was victorious and will be joining Torres as one of the three new members of Toledo’s School Board, along with Darlene Fisher. Torres, Steel, and Fisher were all endorsed by La Prensa. In races that did not net ballot-box victories but victories in Latino pride, Lourdes Santiago received 47.30 per cent of the vote in her unsuccessful campaign for Toledo Municipal Court judge against incumbent Lynn Schaefer—who had previously held the seat of Judge Joseph A. Flores in the Common Pleas Court of Lucas County, Juvenile Division. Santiago is a prosecuting attorney for the City of Toledo and expects to be before the voting public in the near future. One wonders how Lourdes Santiago would have fared if Mayor Jack Ford had not reneged on his commitment to endorse her candidacy for judge, come election day?

Con tanto trabajo por hacer y sin suficiente mano de obra para hacerlo, el mercado allí parece favorecer a los trabajadores, dijo el abogado de inmigración David Ware. Lo que es notable en Misisipí es la aparente magnitud del problema, aunque es imposible de cuantificar. En este estado sureño profundamente afectado, que carece de un departamento de trabajo, la cuestión ni siquiera está en la agenda. La falta de pago no está tipificada como delito según la ley del estado de Misisipí, y el Departamento de Seguridad en el Empleo, organismo estatal, remite las reclamaciones salariales al Departamento de Trabajo federal. Los trabajadores que reclaman salarios atrasados tienen dos opciones formales: interponer una demanda civil en un tribunal estatal o presentar una denuncia federal. El Departamento de Trabajo federal reporta un número creciente de recolección de pagos atrasados a nivel nacional, pero una portavoz dijo que no podía precisar si ha habido reclamaciones posteriores al huracán Katrina en la región del golfo. Los fiscales de Misisipí no han recibido ninguna denuncia, según Peter Cleveland, procurador general asistente. Sin embargo en la zona de despeje de escombros, docenas de trabajadores inmigrantes hispanos entrevistados por la AP compartían una queja común: “Trabajé y no me pagaron”. En Gulfport, varias docenas de hombres que viven en literas improvisadas en un galpón dicen que les deben decenas de miles de dólares. Al igual que otros trabajadores, Alfredo Roblero vio una oportunidad en las tareas de despeje, y fue reclutado en Ft. Pierce, Florida, con promesas de trabajo estable por buena paga, con gastos pagos. “Te traen para nada’’, dijo Roblero, de 26 años, quien calcula que le deben unos 500 dólares por cinco días demoliendo lo que quedaba del Casino Magic Biloxi. “Te deben, y tú tienes que esperarlos’’. Muchos de los trabajadores vestían las camisetas con la inscripción del Restoration Group, con sede en Dallas. En una entrevista telefónica posterior, el presidente de la compañía, James Rea, dijo que los trabajadores eran responsabilidad de un subcontratista. Insistió en que todos han sido pagados y culpó a las compañías de seguros por toda demora. En un descuidado www.la prensa1.com estacionamiento de remolques, dos hombres que se identificaron como Francisco y Oscar dijeron que les debían miles de dólares por semanas de trabajo. No mucho antes, según defensores de los inmigrantes, más de una docena de trabajadores se alojaba en un remolque, pagando cada uno 10 dólares la noche a un subcontratista que según dijeron les quedó debiendo miles de dólares. Antes de eso, los hombres habían trabajado para el equipo de Karen Tovar, y también se habían ido. Tovar dijo que los hombres no comprendían las prácticas de pago estadounidenses, particularmente la de trabajar dos semanas antes de recibir el pago por la primera. “He estado en México y, básicamente, esta gente vive de semana a semana y cuando vienen aquí tienen una concepción equivocada con ese atraso de una semana’’, afirmó Tovar. Agregó que ha trabajado en la limpieza de los escombros de otros huracanes, pero que nunca tuvo problemas para recibir el pago de otros subcontratistas. Aunque ahora está recibiendo una entrada regular de pagos, dijo que no son suficientes para abonar los 130.000 dólares que debe a 83 trabajadores por ayudar en la limpieza de la base de la Armada. Elizabeth Martínez es otra subcontratista que se ha visto envuelta en disputas salariales. Ha estado viviendo entre los trabajadores en un pequeño campamento de carpas en Ocean Springs. El 12 de octubre, ocho hombres que habían estado reparando techos le pidieron a un defensor de los trabajadores migrantes que estaba visitando el campamento que les ayudara a negociar el cobro de sus jornales. Como es frecuente, la situación sigue en disputa. Una defensora de los migrantes, Anita Grabowski, dijo que los hombres, que vinieron a Misisipí desde Arkansas y que ahora se han dispersado, trabajaron dos semanas y se les debe dinero. Los jefes del subcontratista con sede en Alabama que contrató a Martínez, Hughes Constructing Services LLC, dijo que los trabajadores no comprendían que todavía no estaban programados para cobrar. La misma Martínez dijo que ella no contrató a los trabajadores para emparchar los techos y que estaban tratando de sacarle dinero que no les correspondía. Martínez dijo que no quería pagar hasta revisar sus registros. Pero los propietarios de la firma Hughes decidieron adelantar a Martínez más de 15.000 dólares para pagar a los trabajadores: 10 dólares la hora regular y 15 dólares la hora extra. “Queríamos cumplir’’, dijo Jody Hughes, uno de los tres hijos de Hughes que trabajan en el despeje. Los hombres cobraron y accedieron a buscar trabajo en otro sitio. “A Hughes lo intimidaban’’, dijo Martínez. ``Para mí, es como pagarles a los malditos terroristas’’. Una noche fría de fines de octubre, Martínez estaba cerca de su carpa discutiendo con otros tres hombres que habían conducido dos horas desde Nueva Orleáns para quejarse de que ella no les había pagado. Martínez le dijo al negociador principal de los demandantes, Antonio Hernández, que ella había pagado al cuarto miembro de la cuadrilla de techadores, un hombre llamado Rubén que estaba en Texas. Llamaron a Rubén por teléfono celular y éste negó haber recibido dinero alguno. Pero uno de los compañeros de Hernández admitió que había visto a Martínez pagarle algo a Rubén, y Martínez mostró documentos escritos que persuadieron a los hombres que le había adelantado a Rubén 700 dólares en efectivo, que los demás no habían visto. Los hombres volvieron a abordar su desvencijada camioneta para regresar a Nueva Orleáns con cajas de alimentos y 150 dólares que Martínez les dio, “no porque yo se los deba... sino como un regalo”. Justo cuando partían, Martínez llamó a cuatro trabajadores guatemaltecos que llegaron al campamento. Dijo que un estafador los había hecho víctimas. Uno por uno, explicaron que habían limpiado una escuela durante 144 horas con promesas de 8 dólares la hora. Después uno de sus jefes los dejó a la vera del camino sin dinero. Más adelante, tuvieron suerte de que los recogiera el autobús de una iglesia. Los pobres preguntaron qué podían hacer para cobrar su dinero. Contribuyeron a este artículo la investigadora de la Associated Press Julie Reed en Nueva York y los reporteros Tom Hays en Nueva Orleáns y Holbrook Mohr en Jackson, Misisipí. Breves: (Continuación de p.1) considera un ciudadano japonés. “El señor Fujimori entró con pasaporte peruano y él se declaró peruano respecto a la nacionalidad que colocó en la ficha de ingreso al país’’, dijo Lagos a los periodistas en el palacio de gobierno, al ser interrogado sobre la inquietud del gobierno japonés por la situación de Fujimori, actualmente bajo arresto en un edificio de la escuela de gendarmería (prisiones). Cuando los periodistas le indicaron a Lagos que el gobierno de Tokio estaba pidiendo garantías para Fujimori en su calidad de ciudadano japonés, el Presidente recordó que el ex gobernante entró con pasaporte peruano y agregó: “... le corresponde en consecuencia a Japón explicar porqué ellos lo consideran un ciudadano japonés’’. Japón había expresado interés en que Fujimori, al que declaró ciudadano japonés, tenga “un juicio justo’’ y que se permita a sus funcionarios consulares que se les permita visitarlo en su lugar de reclusión. Lagos pareció también expresar molestia porqué Japón no informó de la salida de Fujimori, quien permanecía refugiado en ese país desde hace 5 años. En Lima, el vicepresidente peruano David Waisman calificó de “interferencia inaceptable e inmoral” el pedido del gobierno de Japón a las autoridades de Chile para que permitan a funcionarios consulares nipones visitar a Fujimori en el lugar donde se encuentra detenido. “Japón no tiene ni debe meterse en un tema que involucra a dos estados soberanos’’, manifestó Waisman a periodistas en Lima el martes en la noche. Fujimori, quien llegó sorpresivamente a Chile el domingo en la tarde, tenía una orden de captura internacional por su Nov/noviembre 16, 2005 condición de prófugo de la justicia peruana, que lo requiere para responder por 22 cargos que van desde violaciones a los derechos humanos a corrupción. Lagos señaló que “es mejor, claro está” que en este caso en que Fujimori está requerido por la policía internacional Japón hubiera informado del viaje. Mientras tanto, la policía civil removió de sus cargos a dos funcionarios de turno en el aeropuerto internacional que el domingo permitieron el ingreso de Fujimori. “Se ha concluido que el oficial contralor no cumplió rigurosamente su labor, no efectuó las consultas en forma inmediata ni informó oportunamente a su superior, provocando que el alto mando institucional tomara conocimiento tardíamente de los hechos”, dijo el jefe de comunicaciones subprefecto Jaime Méndez. Agregó que el oficial jefe de turno faltó a sus obligaciones al no informar a su superior de las novedades ocurridas en el control migratorio”. Lagos descartó que la situación de Fujimori pudiera causar un conflicto diplomático con Perú o Japón, con el cual Chile está interesado en firmar un acuerdo de libre comercio. Manifestó que el caso está en manos del poder judicial chileno. El magistrado Orlando Alvarez, de la Corte Suprema, será el encargado de sustanciar en primera instancia el proceso de extradición que anunció Perú. El magistrado, que la madrugada del lunes, pocas horas después de la llegada de Fujimori, dispuso la detención preventiva del ex gobernante peruano, rechazó este miércoles una apelación de su defensa a la negativa a otorgarle la libertad provisional. El magistrado se basó en que su resolución es inapelable y que se basa en el tratado de extradición entre Chile y Perú de 1932. De acuerdo a ese tratado, Fujimori deberá permanecer detenido al menos hasta que Perú formalice el pedido de extradición, que funcionarios peruanos estiman tomará unas dos o tres semanas. Luego el juez Alvarez deberá convocar a una audiencia pública dentro de 15 a 30 días, donde las partes expondrán las razones en favor y en contra de la extradición. La resolución del juez debe ser ratificada o enmendada por la sala penal del máximo tribunal. La apelación había sido presentada a instancias del abogado peruano César Nakazaki, quien el martes llegó al país para dirigir la defensa del ex gobernante peruano. La defensa la asumió formalmente el chileno Juan Carlos Osorio. El gobierno peruano, a su vez, contrató al destacado penalista Alfredo Etcheberry, quien hace diez años tuvo la representación de Estados Unidos en el proceso contra el ex director de la policía secreta chilena, el general Manuel Contreras, quien fue condenado por el asesinato en Washington en 1976 del ex canciller chileno Orlando Letelier. Fujimori se encuentra recluído en dependencias de la Escuela de Gendarmería, la policía carcelaria. Ocupa una habitación de 9 metros cuadrados que cuenta con baño y televisión. Se estableció un régimen de visitas similar al de los reos chilenos durante cuatro horas los miércoles, sábados y domingos. Representantes de organizaciones peruanas de defensa de los derechos humanos protestaron por la condición privilegiada en que se encontraría Fujimori al no estar recluído en una cárcel común. Los activistas de derechos humanos señalaron que abogados chilenos se harán parte en su representación en el proceso de extradición cuando se inicie su tramitación.
