CPL HOSTS BLACK HISTORY MONTH, PAGE 11 Golden Statement: Curry, Warriors demolish Cavaliers 132-98, as NBA By TOM WITHERS, AP Sports Writer CLEVELAND, Jan. 18, 2016 (AP): Stephen Curry scored 35 points in three quarters, Andre Iguodala added 20 and the Golden State Warriors returned to the floor where they won the NBA championship last season and embarrassed the Cleveland Cavaliers 132-98 on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The Warriors built a 30-point lead in the first half and bounced back from a shocking loss in Detroit over the weekend by winning their fifth straight over Cleveland. Only a late flurry of points helped the Cavs avoid their worst home loss in franchise history. LeBron James led Cleveland with 16 p o i n t s [s e e M y c h a l Lilly photo]. Editor’s Note: At halftime, the NBA honored Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the pastor, activist, and humanitarian, who co-led the African-American civil rights movements; the halftime performance featured a powerful interpretation of a speech Dr. King Jr. gave at Cleveland’s Glenville High School in 1967.

The attention on the court will only mount in the coming months, said UCLA law professor Adam Winkler. “It’s going to be hard for the court to stay out of the political thicket in this coming election,” Winkler said. Yet evidence that the court itself has moved many votes in past elections is thin, said Sara Benesh, a political scientist at the University of WisconsinMilwaukee. The court and the justices are little known to the public. “It seems to me a long, drawn-out relationship between any decision the court might make and any decision an individual might make in the voting booth,” Benesh said. The justices go to great lengths to insist that they are not, in Breyer’s words, “nine junior-varsity politicians.” Winkler said there is little evidence that the court has ducked politically sensitive issues, although liberal critics have said the conservative justices reached out aggressively and unnecessarily in recent years in campaign finance, voting rights and union cases. But politics is not completely absent from the justices’ chambers. When the court was weighing a major abortion case early in 1992, a law clerk to Justice Harry Blackmun urged him to press his colleagues to have the case heard and decided before the 1992 presidential election. At the time, many abortion rights groups thought the Supreme Court was on the verge of overturning the Roe v. Wade ruling. If there were to be a majority on the court to jettison Roe, “it would be better to do it this year before the election and give women the opportunity to vote their outrage,” Blackmun clerk Molly McUsic wrote in a memo to the justice. Former New York Times reporter Linda Greenhouse recounted the episode in her biography of Blackmun, “Becoming Justice Blackmun.” As it happened, the court heard the case, surprisingly reaffirmed abortion rights and Bill Clinton won the 1992 election.

or the other candidates say can dissuade her from seeking a better life. Back home in El Salvador—which last year recorded a homicide rate of 103 per 100,000 inhabitants, believed to be the highest of any country not in open war—she faced death threats from hyper-violent gangs that rule entire neighborhoods largely unchallenged. “It does not make you want to go less,” Miranda said of the rhetoric, “because you know that immigration is never going to stop.” Violence is also rampant in neighboring Guatemala and Honduras, the latter of which had been the world’s reigning murder capital in recent years. Gangs in all three countries kill with impunity, extort broad swaths of the population and recruit young people so aggressively that some stop attending school or even leaving home. Living in many parts of those countries “is like living in a dark, dangerous, dead-end alley, and migration is a dark, dangerous

La situación del zika en Latinoamérica, país por país 27 I 16 (AP): BRASIL El Ministerio de Salud de Brasil dice que tiene registro de 4.120 casos de microcefalia, un extraño defecto cerebral que padecen bebés en el vientre materno, y que funcionarios brasileros temen pueda estar relacionado con la propagación del virus del zika, transmitida por un mosquito. El informe del miércoles dice que sólo 270 de esos casos han sido confirmados y que en 462 casos los fetos no padecen esta enfermedad. Eso deja a 3.448 bajo investigación. Los informes abarcan el período comprendido entre octubre 22-de 2015 a enero 23 de este año El comunicado del Ministerio dice los laboratorios del país están tratando de determinar si hay una relación entre el virus del zika y la microcefalia, que también puede ser causada por enfermedades como el her-

pes, la rubéola y la sífilis. El zika ha sido relacionado con la microcefalia, un problema congénito por el que los bebés nacen con una cabeza muy pequeña. Aunque la forma en que el virus afectaría a los menores sigue sin estar clara, autoridades de Colombia, Brasil y El Salvador han instado a las mujeres a evitar riesgos posponiendo embarazos. El virus surgió en África en la década de 1940, se extendió a Asia y apareció en las Américas en mayo. • COLOMBIA El presidente Juan Manuel Santos ha advertido que de enero a julio podría haber en Colombia unos 600.000 casos de zika y que oficialmente se han confirmado 16.500 casos aproximadamente. “Se calcula que las consecuencias serán 500 casos de niños recién nacidos con microcefalia y 500 casos de personas con el (síndrome de) Guillain Barré”, dijo el mandatario. De ese total, 1.090 son

mujeres embarazadas cuyos casos son considerados por autoridades médicas como de alto riesgo. • ECUADOR En este país andino las autoridades han confirmado 17 casos de zika y sospechan de 33 más. Los dos primeros correspondieron a ecuatorianos que visitaron Colombia durante el fin de año. Quince restantes son casos de contagio local. El *primer caso local fue confirmado el 12 de enero, y no se sospecha de ningún caso de microcefalia. Tampoco hay casos sospechosos de padecer el síndrome de GuillainBarre. La Ministra de Salud, Margarita Guevara, recomendó el pasado fin de semana que las mujeres posterguen su deseo de embarazarse.

Puerto Rico adopta regulación para marihuana medicinal SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, 28 I 16 (AP): El Departamento de Salud de Puerto Rico adoptó una regulación que permitirá el

cultivo, producción y distribución de marihuana medicinal en la isla. Las autoridades informaron el jueves que la substancia puede ser usada en píldoras, cremas, gotas orales y parches transdérmicos. Resaltaron que fumar marihuana y cultivarla para uso personal siguen siendo actividades ilegales. El Departamento de Salud señaló que implementará un inventario del proceso de semilla a venta. Otorgará

licencias a médicos y compañías privadas que buscan cultivar y producir marihuana medicinal. Funcionarios dicen que las muestras deberán ser enviadas a laboratorios independientes para asegurarse de que contienen las proporciones correctas de THC y no tienen contaminantes. El secretario de Asuntos Públicos, Jesús Manuel Ortiz, afirmó que el sistema debería quedar implementado para finales del año.

Wisconsin Supreme Court lets immigrant withdraw guilty plea MADISON, Wis., Jan. 28, 2016 (AP): The Wisconsin Supreme Court says a Mexican immigrant who wasn’t told that pleading guilty could result in deportation can withdraw her plea. Melisa Valadez was convicted of drug charges in multiple cases a decade ago and served jail time. She later alleged she couldn’t renew her permanent resident card because of the conviction and filed to withdraw her guilty pleas. The circuit court denied her motion to withdraw her pleas. The Supreme Court ruled 4-2 Thursday the circuit judges never told her a guilty plea could result in deportation as required by state law. Marc Christopher, Valadez’s attorney, says the decision sends a clear directive that courts must warn people about potential immigration consequences of their pleas. Department of Justice spokeswoman Anne Schwartz says they’re reviewing the decision.

The injunction

nificant that the Supreme Court is requesting court arguments over whether the president’s executive actions violate the “Take Care” Clause of the US Constitution. “That the court wants argument on the “Take Care” Clause signals that the justices are intent on resolving the GOP lawsuit fully and completely. That’s a good sign not only for immigrants, but for the entire country,” he said, noting that if the case was decided on just narrow procedural grounds, the case would be sent back to the Texas judge, who did not rule on the Republican argument that the president violated constitutional obligation to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” According to a New York Times article, the White House has vowed to move quickly to set up the DAPA program if the Supreme Court upholds the president’s executive actions. Otherwise, the program could remain in limbo until a successor takes office. Democratic presidential hopefuls have said they’ll continue the program, but Republican candidates have vowed to dismantle DAPA and redouble immigration enforcement, which could further tear families apart when deportation proceedings move forward. “The Supreme Court has already made it crystal clear that Mr. Obama has broad discretion when it comes to immigration enforcement,” said Leopold. “By establishing DAPA and DACA expansion, Mr. Obama is taking a common sense approach to immigration enforcement—he’s focusing on deporting dangerous criminals and national security risks, not hard-working mothers, fathers and DREAMers.” In Ohio, the Center for American Progress estimates there are more than 25,000 people eligible for DAPA and more than 10,000 people eligible for DACA. Overall, the group estimates that 41 percent of Ohio’s undocumented population is eligible for DAPA or DACA. Once both programs are fully implemented, the Center for American Progress estimates there will be an 8.5 percent increase in the earnings of immigrants in Ohio and a $95 million jump in local and state taxes, including a $41 million increase in tax revenues in Ohio within the first five years.

David Leopold, Esq. Those same estimates call for a $4.1 billion hike in Ohio’s GDP under both programs. Ohio’s Republican leadership is among the states that joined the GOP-led lawsuit, including Gov. John Kasich and Attorney General Mike DeWine. But Kasich, who’s gaining in the New Hampshire polls as he mounts a presidential campaign, has at least stated the need for a legal path to citizenship and a “commonsense” approach to undocumented immigrants in the U.S. But immigration advocates continue to criticize state leaders for their stance in the Supreme Court case, particularly as a show of political partisanship through what they call “a handpicked judge” who issued the temporary injunction in the first place. “They are actively suing our own Ohio families and children, keeping people in limbo, because of a political beef with the president,” said Lynn Tramonte, director of Ohio’s Voice. “They are playing politics with people’s lives. We are calling on the Supreme Court to reject politics and restore the rule of law by unfreezing DAPA and the expansion of DACA. “I believe the decision to press forward on this lawsuit is going to backfire on the Republicans who dreamed up the strategy in the first place.” “DAPA is not the permanent solution to an extremely complex and broken system, but it will allow undocumented parents of U.S children to work and live without fear until Congress decides to act on reform. Keeping millions of families in limbo is un-American,” said Claudia Longo, an Ohio immigration activist. Ms. Tramonte stated a June decision by the Supreme Court could have a major impact on

the 2016 elections, because it will come just as the general election season heats up. “If the Court rules on behalf of immigrant families, which most observers expect it will, the exultation of the win and the transformative nature these policies will have on families that include American citizens—and voters— will have a major impact on the November elections,” she said. Recent Obama Raids Immigration advocates pointed out that limbo was punctuated by renewed fear and anger over the winter holidays, as the Obama administration conducted a new wave of immigration raids, mostly targeted at people whose asylum claims were denied or didn’t appear for court hearings . Immigration law expert David Leopold called it “morally repugnant to send ICE agents into local communities to arrest and detain vulnerable families, including women and children, and deport them to places where their lives will be threatened by unspeakable violence – countries like El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, where gang and drug violence force innocent families to flee north to the United States in search of a haven,” in a commentary posted on cnn.com. The Cleveland immigration attorney pointed out that Central Americans ordered deported in absentia may not have had a fair chance to plead their asylum case because they did not get adequate information from government bureaucrats explaining their obligation to go to court. He stated that “being ordered deported (Continued on Page 10)

Gov. issues order transferring ethnic commissions to LARA LANSING, Jan. 26, 2016: Gov. Rick Snyder has signed Executive Order 2016-3, transferring administrative responsibilities of three ethnic commissions to the department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA). Previously housed in the Michigan Department of Civil Rights, the Asian Pacific American Affairs Commission, Hispanic/Latino Commission of Michigan, and the Commission on Middle Eastern American Affairs will now fall under the direction of LARA.

According to the press release, “the reorganization will help streamline human resources and budgetary functions within each commission.” “Moving these commissions to LARA helps ensure efficient organization and management of each group’s administrative needs,” Snyder said. “It also allows the civil rights department to devote more time and resources toward their goal of ensuring equal opportunities for all Michigan residents,” Snyder concluded. Each commission affected

News Guide: Latest developments in Flint water crisis FLINT, Jan. 28, 2016 (AP): The Michigan Legislature has directed another $28 million to address Flint’s lead-tainted water supply. The measure now awaits Gov. Rick Snyder’s signature. Flint is under a public health emergency that has led to local, state and federal emergency declarations because its drinking water is tainted with lead. The water became contaminated when the financially struggling city, under state management, switched from the Detroit municipal system and began drawing from the Flint River in April 2014 to save money. The water was not properly treated to keep lead from pipes from leaching into the supply. Some children’s blood has tested positive for lead, which has been linked to learning disabilities, lower IQ and behavioral problems. Here are the latest developments in the Flint water crisis: STATE EMERGENCY EXTENDED: Gov. Rick Snyder on Thursday extended the state emergency declaration in the city of Flint and Genesee County until April 14. It had been set to

expire on Monday. Snyder said the extension ensures Flint residents will have access to bottled water, filters, and testing kits, while long-term solutions are sought. The extension coincides with President Barack Obama’s federal emergency declaration. ___ CONGRESS WEIGHS IN: Democratic U.S. Sens. Gary Peters and Debbie Stabenow of Michigan on Thursday proposed up to $400 million in emergency federal funding to replace and fix lead-contaminated pipes in Flint. The bill requires the state of Michigan to match the federal spending. Gov. Rick Snyder, a Republican, has estimated the cost of replacing Flint’s water supply infrastructure at $767.4 million. The bill would also require federal action if a state refuses to warn the public about unsafe water and authorizes $20 million a year to monitor lead exposure in Flint. It is being offered as an amendment to a Senate energy bill. ___ NO SNYDER RECALL: The Board of State Canvassers on Thursday rejected petitions to recall Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder over his handling of Flint’s lead-con-

taminated water. The board said the reasons for a recall must be clear and factual, under Michigan law. If they’re not, no one can gather signatures to force a recall election. Flint resident Quincy Murphy wants to recall Snyder for “failing to protect the health and safety” of the citizens of Flint. Snyder attorney John Pirich says that’s opinion, not fact. ___ PISTONS OWNER HELPS: Tom Gores, a Flint native and owner of the Detroit Pistons, pledged Thursday to raise $10 million to address the short- and longterm needs of his Michigan hometown. Gores said Thursday that he has appointed two associates to raise money from other business leaders and identify priorities in Flint. Gores, who is chairman of Los Angeles-based Platinum Equity, also will contribute. Pistons vice chairman Arn Tellem and Platinum Equity partner Mark Barnhill will lead the effort. Barnhill said the residents’ immediate needs are important but that long-term opportunities in Flint will also be explored, such as small business assistance.

Last year’s summit at the University of Akron featured an opening keynote address from Rep. Dan Ramos (DLorain) and a research-based keynote presentation by Victor Sáenz, an assistant professor at the University of Texas-Austin. Best practices presentations included career counselor advocacy on behalf of undocumented immigrant youth, preparing Latino students for STEM careers, the need for Latino nurses, and how to address the impact of parental deportation on a Latino student’s post-secondary educational goals. Part of the requirement for those presentations involves their ability to be replicated in other school districts and whether the program can have a significant impact on Latino students in Ohio. The annual summit is designed to bring the latest information to educators and non-profit administrators.

tried to get the audience to t a l k about the areas of inclusion and equity. One glaring a r e a where UT lacks diversity is on its board of trustees. There is no Latino representation on the university’s board at present— and it’s been a number of years since the last Latino leader was appointed. Dr. McKether described the university’s senior administration as “predominantly white and male.” “You could say that it lacks diversity,” he said. Ms. Mendoza pointed to the university’s lack of preparedness to handle students who may be of undocumented immigrant status. She suggested training for front office staff to be able to handle issues that come up during student registration and related paperwork. Dr. McKether tried to convince a skeptical audience that changes will be made by the university’s president, who has now been in charge for six months. He promised a

diversity plan will have measurable to hold everyone accountable. “She’s saying to her senior staff: these are things you will do or you may not be here,” he said. “I’ve never heard that since I’ve been there.” “The University needs to be sure all voices are heard, and these sessions are essential to our strategic diversity plan,” Dr. Gaber said in a prepared statement. “We need to incorporate the feedback we receive into our policies, procedures and initiatives, as well as ensure that UT is an inclusive, welcoming and supportive environment for all stakeholders, from faculty and staff to students and the community we’re grateful to serve.” Dr. McKether even told the group his professional reputation is on the line, as he holds meetings with cam-

pus and the community— but promised to be an advocate for improvements in diversity, especially where student achievement is concerned. “That’s what I’ve been arguing for the last five or six years. I’ve been saying there’s an achievement gap,” he said. “If you look at the achievement gap between Latinos and black males and females with everybody else, there’s a big gap. If nobody’s addressing that, that’s a problem. That’s not being inclusive. If you’re arguing it on the outside and I’m arguing the same thing on the inside, that’s progress—because we recognize the need for everyone to achieve, not just one demographic.” A final “conversation on diversity” will be held with campus staff Thursday, Feb.4, noon to 2 p.m. on the UT Health Science campus.

Matthau se rió a carcajadas y así nació una relación profesional y de amistad que duró toda la vida. “Lo hizo para hacerme perder los estribos y funcionó”, dijo Burnett. La inseguridad de Burnett en la pantalla grande volvería, pero la actriz lo recuerda como una anécdota graciosa.

Y nuevos admiradores se han ido sumando desde entonces, quizás ahora con la mayor intensidad de los últimos años gracias a los clips del “Burnett Show” en YouTube, su reciente publicación en DVD y las reposiciones del programa en la cadena MeTV. La larguirucha y elegante actriz de 82 años también se mantiene ocupada con un papel recurrente en la serie de CBS “Hawaii Five-0” y un espectáculo rodante en el que hace lo mismo que hacía en su vieja serie: le pide a alguien entre bambalinas que “encienda las luces” para que pueda ver al público y responder preguntas. Ser honrada por Hollywood con un Premio a la Trayectoria, “como diría mi amiga Julie Andrews, me tiene patidifusa”, dijo Burnett. “Todavía estoy impresionada con el cine, con sus estrellas. ‘Ay Dios mío, íahí está Meryl Streep! Ay Dios mío, íahí están este y aquel!’. Creo que voy a estar muy nerviosa. Pero estoy emocionada”.

Cleveland Metroparks swears-in K-9 officer Tyson The newest addition to Cleveland Metroparks Ranger Department K-9 Unit has recently been sworn-in. Tyson, Cleveland Metroparks newest Patrol and Explosives Canine Officer, was sworn-in alongside his partner, Ranger Trevor C. Poole at the Board of Park Commissioners meeting. Tyson, an eleven-weekold German shepherd, is the newest canine addition to Cleveland Metroparks Ranger Department’s K-9 Unit. Tyson will serve as a dual-purpose patrol and explosives detection dog, joining K-9 officers Chase, Rico, and Logan, and their handlers Rangers Will Collins, Mike Barr, and Sgt. Tim Garris in patrolling the more than 23,000acre Park District. The addition of Tyson allows for proactive protection measures at Cleveland Metroparks busiest park activities. Explosives detection canines have become a common sight at large sporting events, concerts, popular area destinations and at other large-scale events. They are becoming part of a new direction in law enforcement. Five Ohio Universities recently received bomb-

sniffing dogs as officials expand a state program that makes more of those can i n e s available for safety needs on and off c a m puses. T h e University of Toledo, Kent State University, Ohio University, and Central State University each received a dog trained to detect explosives. A dog for Cleveland State University received extra training to be part of general patrol operations, according to Ohio Homeland Security. Canines trained in explosives detection offer an added layer of public security and serve as an important bridge to interact with the public in a positive manner. Additionally, explosives detection canines offer a safe resolution should a bomb threat occur, allowing for a quick return to normal business operations.

Other agencies that have canines trained in explosives detection near Cleveland Metroparks include: the Regional Transit Authority (RTA), the Shaker Heights and Cleveland Police Departments, and the University of Akron. Editor’s Note: Tyson’s handler is Ranger Trevor C. Poole, who has been with the Ranger Department since 2014. Ranger Poole is a 2007 graduate of Youngstown State University, where he also completed his basic Police Academy Training, as an Ohio Certified Peace Officer.

Tri-C to add High-Tech Manufacturing Training Equipmentusing$75,000grantfromAlcoaFoundation CLEVELAND, Jan. 28, 2016: Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) will use a $75,000 grant from Alcoa Foundation to upgrade its manufacturing lab with computer-controlled machines, robotic arms and other technological tools vital to training tomorrow’s workforce. The new equipment will make Tri-C students more proficient with smart manufacturing methods, better preparing them for in-demand industrial jobs requiring increased technical skills. “Today’s manufacturing jobs require skilled workers proficient with the latest technology in the industry,” said Alicia Booker, vice president of manufacturing with Tri-C’s Workforce, Community and Economic Development (WCED) division. “Alcoa Foundation’s generosity ensures that our students will train on equipment they will encounter in the ever-evolving manufacturing world.” The grant from Alcoa Foundation will go toward purchasing programmable logic control systems, robotic manufacturing arms, a 36-foot-long conveyer system and scanners that will position parts throughout the system for quality assurance work. Tri-C is developing the training program in conjunction with industry leaders such as Alcoa to ensure graduates develop the skills needed to immediately contribute to the success of companies. The Siemens Mechatronics Systems Certification Program (SMSCP) will be integrated

The Alcoa Foundation recently awarded a $75,000 grant to Cuyahoga Community College. Those taking part in a recent check presentation included (l-r) Alicia Booker, vice president of manufacturing at Tri-C; Michael Schoop, president of Tri-C’s Metropolitan Campus; William Gary, executive vice president of Tri-C’s Workforce, Community and Economic Development division; Alex Johnson, president of Tri-C; Cary Dell, manager of internal communications at Alcoa; Ryan Kish, program manager at the Alcoa Foundation; and Christine Francisco and Vincent Suber, students at Tri-C.

into the new training program, providing participants the opportunity to earn a nationally recognized certificate. “Digital technology and automation is a growing part of doing business in today’s economy across all sectors, from aerospace to electronics,” said Ryan Kish, Alcoa Foundation Program Manager. “Alcoa, and other advanced manufacturers, require a higher-skilled employee than just a decade ago to manage and interpret this new level of data and use it to problem-solve in real time. Students in Tri-C’s upgraded training center will learn to interpret and react to data streaming from smart tools to experience ‘in the moment’ action that affects productivity, quality and delivery.” The equipment will serve as the centerpiece of the College’s revamped manufacturing cen-

ter. The Unified Technologies Center (UTC) — which opened in 1986 — is undergoing a renovation to house the College’s Manufacturing Technology Center of Excellence. Plans call for the new equipment to be installed by the middle of the year on the main floor of the UTC, located along Woodland Avenue at the College’s Metropolitan Campus in Cleveland. Alcoa Foundation awarded the grant to Tri-C through the Cuyahoga Community College Foundation. A check presentation attended by officials from the College and Alcoa took place Monday at the UTC. Alcoa has been a long-term partner of the College and made a lasting impact on the region through workforce initiatives, veterans programs and scholarships to provide educational opportunities.

tunnel—but it’s a tunnel,” said Kay Andrade Eekhoff, who works for Catholic Relief Services in El Salvador overseeing programs for atrisk Central American youth. Statistics show that many continue to risk the tunnel, despite a surge in enforcement by the U.S. and by Mexico along its own southern frontier. U.S. Customs and Border Protection says apprehensions of unaccompanied children mostly from Central America totaled 17,370 in October-December. That was up 117 percent from the same period a year earlier, while apprehensions of families rose 187 percent. Still, total detentions remain well below historic highs. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on Jan. 2 began rounding up Central American immigrants who entered without permission since May 2014. Earlier this month Secretary of State John Kerry announced an expansion of a program letting Central Americans apply for refugee status before traveling north. But some say they may not qualify, or it’s simply too dangerous to wait. Those in a hurry include a 20-year-old man in San Salvador who was deported from the U.S. just months ago. On his last trip north, last summer, the Gulf drug cartel kidnapped and held him in Reynosa for five weeks until his family scraped together ransom.

U.S. border agents later captured and sent him home. A police officer’s son, he’s now planning to try again after getting gang threats. “They told me if I did not join them, something was going to happen to me or my dad,” the man said, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of gang reprisals. Francis has made the plight of migrants one of the hallmarks of his papacy, denouncing what he called the “globalization of indifference” toward people desperate to flee poverty and persecution. He has taken his message of compassion to Lampedusa, Italy, destination for many African migrants, and to the European Union and the United Nations. Last fall in the U.S. Congress, Francis lectured lawmakers that “we must not be taken aback by (migrants’) numbers but rather view them as persons.” He reminded them that they, too, descended from immigrants drawn by the dream of a new future. In Ciudad Juarez, the Argentine-born Francis plans to celebrate Mass in a huge open field on the border and then walk to the Rio Grande to salute people on the other side in a powerful show of solidarity with his Latin American compatriots. Vatican officials say he intends to address violence and drug trafficking as well. Francis will also come close to fulfilling his wish to cross

the border during the U.S. visit, something that was ultimately scrapped for logistical reasons. It’s a message that resonates with Sister Norma Pimentel, director of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley. “They are people and we need to treat them that way,” said Pimentel, whose work Francis has praised and who was invited to meet him in New York last year. “They need our help, and so we welcome them to restore their dignity.” Pimentel’s center at the Sacred Heart church in McAllen receives about 100 migrants a day who have been detained, processed and released by the Border Patrol. Each adult gets an electronic monitoring anklet to ensure they make court appearances. On a recent morning, Erica Johana Garcia was breakfasting with her two children at the center before catching a bus for the final leg of their journey to Los Angeles. They left Guatemala after thugs told her 15year-old son they would rape his 8-year-old sister if he didn’t join their gang. Fingering her ankle bracelet, Garcia, 34, vowed to fight to be able to stay. “I can’t go back because I risk my children,” she said, “especially my son.” Associated Press writers Peter Orsi in Mexico City and Nicole Winfield in Rome contributed.

los portadores de zika, pero adicionalmente lo hace en las poblaciones donde crece el vector de transmisión, el mosquito Aedes aegyti. • ARGENTINA Las autoridades argentinas intentaban el miércoles confirmar un caso del virus zika de una colombiana residente en Buenos Aires que se habría contagiado en su país natal. El último Boletín Integrado de Vigilancia, editado por el Ministerio de Salud, señala que además del caso de la colombiana, en 2016 “fueron notificados otros 3 casos estudiados para zika...ninguno de los cuales tuvo resultados positivos”. Las autoridades argentinas han recomendado a las embarazadas no viajar a los países donde se reportaron casos de zika. Otros tres casos sospechosos de personas oriundas de las provincias de Córdoba, Santa Fe y la capital argentina que fueron estudiados dieron negativo. • URUGUAY En Uruguay está presente el mosquito, pero hasta ahora no se ha registrado ningún caso de enfermedad. El último caso autóctono de dengue se registró en 1916. Pero en los últimos años la población del mosquito Aedes aegypti se ha multiplicado, lo que hace temer que tanto el dengue como el zika puedan aparecer en el país. • PANAMÁ En Panamá se han reportado 42 casos, de los

cuales uno corresponde a una mujer embarazada de 22 años, aunque no hay sospechas de microcefalia. Todos los casos se registran en la comarca indígena de Guna Yala, sobre la vertiente del Caribe y próxima a la frontera sur con Colombia. Las autoridades de salud recomendaron aplazar los embarazos en esa zona, dan un seguimiento especial a la mujer embarazada y arreciaron los llamados a erradicar los criaderos del mosquito que transmite el virus. • GUATEMALA En Guatemala se detectaron 200 casos sospechosos de padecer el contagio del virus del zika a partir de noviembre de 2015, y 68 casos confirmados en pruebas de laboratorio, según el Ministerio de Salud. Los contagios se han dado en el país, localmente en 12, de los 22 departamentos del país. El departamento de Zacapa, al este del país, es donde se han

detectado la mayoría de casos con 32 confirmados. Existe solamente un caso del que se sospecha que la madre habría sufrido de Zika durante las primeras semanas de embarazo. Según el Ministerio de Salud el embarazo de esta mujer está siendo monitoreado. Hasta ahora no hay datos sobre si el bebé ha sido afectado. El Ministerio de Salud dice que mantiene un alerta sobre este tema y que hay medidas de prevención dispuestas, como eliminar depósitos de agua que generen mosquitos y otras medidas. Según la OMS, Canadá y Chile continental son los únicos países americanos que no tendrán zika, el primero porque sus bajas temperaturas no permiten sobrevivir al mosquito transmisor, y el segundo porque está protegido por el desierto de Atacama, el más árido del mundo, la cordillera de los Andes y el océano Pacífico, que impiden la llegada del vector transmisor.

Sundance presenta 4 filmes sobre violencia armada en EEUU (Continuación de p.7)

“Yo no tenía ningún plan secreto”, dijo Snyder, más que mostrar a la comunidad como es. “Sin embargo, como dice (el padre de Sandy Hook) David Wheeler, la gente que tiene la mayor motivación para permitir la intromisión de una cámara es gente que, como él dijo, se siente obligada a decir algo o a hacer algo que pueda prevenir que otra ciudad u otra familia pasen por esto”. DARK NIGHT: “Dark Night” es el único largometraje narrativo del grupo, y lidia con un tiroteo masivo en un suburbio de Florida. El título (que en español quiere decir noche oscura) hace referencia a la masacre de 2012 en Aurora, Colorado, durante una función de medianoche de “The Dark Knight Rises” (“Batman: El caballero de la noche asciende”). “Comienza con la masacre en Aurora”, dijo el director Tim Sutton. “Algo le pasó al cine ese día. El cine se volvió peligroso, se volvió pervertido, posiblemente para siempre. Como cineasta sentí la responsabilidad de tratar de abordar este tema”. UNDER THE GUN: Katie Couric y la directora Stephanie Soechtig (‘’Fed Up’’) regresaron a Sundance con un extenso resumen del problema de las armas en

Estados Unidos que presenta estadísticas alarmantes (en el país hay más tiendas de armas que Starbucks y McDonald’s juntos), perspectiva histórica (cómo la Asociación Nacional del Rifle de Estados Unidos, o NRA por sus siglas en inglés, solía mantenerse al margen de la política) y recuentos emotivos de las familias de los muertos (incluyendo madres en Chicago y el hermano de una niña asesinada en Aurora). También hablan con una variedad de defensores de las armas, desde los que apoyan la revisión de antecedentes hasta los que se mofan de la idea. “Incluso personas que han estado inmersas en esta situación por años nos dijeron que aprendieron algo del filme”, dijo Couric. “Me sorprendió cómo se extendieron tanto los tentáculos de la NRA y cómo la organización tiene el dedo metido en tantas cosas”. SPEAKING IS DIFFICULT: “Speaking is Difficult” quizás nunca se complete. El cortometraje documental es una película viva: cada vez

que ocurre o t r o asesinato en masa el director AJ Schnack y su equipo lo actualizan. Schnack presentó un primer corte del filme en Sundance hace meses y tuvo que actualizarlo dos veces desde entonces. Su filme muestra los lugares de los tiroteos, como existen ahora, solapados con llamadas al número de emergencias 911 sobre cada suceso. “Se está convirtiendo casi en un ritual en el que algo sucede, hay un nivel de indignación por unos días y entonces, cuando se va haciendo más lejano, volvemos a pasar por eso”, dijo Schnack. “Los acontecimientos comienzan a convertirse como en ecos de sucesos previos”. A Schnack le impresiona la normalidad alcanzada en los lugares afectados. “Muchos de los lugares han vuelto a ser lo mismo que eran: un restaurante, una peluquería, una escuela”, dijo. “La gente pasa por ahí como si nada hubiera ocurrido”.

under those circ*mstances is not due process.” “The raids operation is shocking, outrageous, and just plain wrong. This is something we would expect from a President Trump, not President Obama,” wrote Leopold in the published commentary. “The president is reacting – actually overreacting – to a recent spike in the migration of Central American families and unaccompanied children to the United States. He ap-

parently wants to deter others from making the arduous, life-threatening trip north to the United States.” Leopold stated the President “appears to be doubling down.” In the same speech announcing DAPA during Thanksgiving weekend in 2014, Obama also promised stepped-up immigration enforcement. A White House press secretary indicated recently the enforcement strategy will not change, so it appears deportations will continue while the Supreme

Court decides other legal aspects of the president’s executive orders.

Stun Guns: Updates with comment from NAACP leader, college professor, Taser spokesman. By DAVE COLLINS, Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn., Jan. 27, 2016 (AP): Connecticut officers who drew their stun guns on the job last year were more likely to fire when the suspect was black or Latino, according to a first-of-its-kind set of statistics that could stoke the nation’s debate over race and police use of force. The raw, preliminary data was obtained by The Associated Press ahead of an official analysis expected in the coming weeks. While police and state officials cautioned against passing judgment until then, at least one criminal justice expert said he would not be surprised to see similar findings elsewhere around the country. Some civil rights groups said the statistics confirm what they suspected for years. “We feel we’re vindicated,” said Scot X. Esdaile, president of the Connecticut State Conference of NAACP Branches. “The NAACP has huge issues with how law enforcement use Tasers in communities across our state. We get a lot of complaints.” State and municipal police in Connecticut reported a total of 641 incidents involving stun guns last year: 437 actual firings and 204 instances in which officers threatened to use their weapon but held their fire, according to the data. Officers were more likely to hold their fire when the suspect was white. They fired their stun guns 60 percent of the time in confrontations involving whites, 80 percent of the time in those involving blacks and 69 percent of the time in those involving Hispanics. The figures come as police across the U.S. face heavy scrutiny over their use of deadly force against blacks. Although stun guns have been billed as nonlethal alternatives to firearms, they have resulted in deaths, and reliable information on how police use them has been lacking. A 2014 law made Con-

necticut the first state to require all police departments to report every instance in which an officer discharges or threatens to use a stun gun. The NAACP and American Civil Liberties Union pushed for the legislation after the 2011 death of 26-year-old Marcus Brown, a handcuffed black man who was shot with a stun gun in the back of a Waterbury police cruiser. Researchers at Central Connecticut State University are reviewing the data and will issue an analysis, perhaps by the end of February. Although data from other states isn’t available, it would not be surprising if similar findings were found in other parts of the country, said Eugene O’Donnell, a lecturer at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice at the City University of New York. “It is not surprising because the police occupy the front line of a criminal justice system that is designed to target minorities,” O’Donnell said. “Because of the design of the system, the police end up in more fraught situations with minorities since their adversarial interactions are so heavily overlaid in poorer places and poorer and working-class people.” Of those who were shocked with stun guns in Connecticut in 2015, 43 percent were white, 35 percent black and 21 percent Hispanic. Thirty percent of the people involved in the more than 600 incidents studied were black and 21 percent were Hispanic. Connecticut’s population of 3.6 million is 11.5 percent black, 15 percent Latino, and 81 percent white, according to the Census Bureau. (The percentages add up to more than 100 percent because Latinos/Hispanics can be counted in both the white and black categories.) State and police officials noted that many of the stun gun incidents happened in urban areas, where

minority populations are higher. Those include Hartford, New Haven, and Bridgeport. The figures don’t include data from several smaller towns that have yet to submit reports. State officials and others cautioned that while the data appear to show racial disparities, deeper examination if needed. “It seems like in the cases where it was threatened but not used, there were far more white people involved,” said Michael Lawlor, Connecticut undersecretary for criminal justice policy and planning. “Why that is and whether there is some other explanation, we’re going to go through the data and try to figure it out.” Amnesty International has reported that: at least 540 people in the U.S. died after being shocked with stun guns from 2001 to 2012. In Connecticut, 17 people have died since 2005, according to the ACLU. David McGuire, legislative and policy director for the Connecticut ACLU, called the new statistics alarming. “I think this data will be helpful for policymakers and police chiefs in Connecticut to get a handle on the issue,” he said. Steve Tuttle, a vice president at Taser International Inc. in Scottsdale, Arizona, a leading maker of stun guns, said it is too early to draw conclusions about the Connecticut data. He said the numbers need to be evaluated with other data, including arrest rates and what offenses spurred stun gun use. Similarly, Norwalk Police Chief Thomas Kulhawik cautioned: “The officers don’t pick and choose who’s going to resist arrest or flee.” Tuttle wrote in an email to the AP that when used properly, a Taser is a highly effective way to “halt violent situations that pose a safety risk to an officer, suspect or innocent citizens.”

A look at stun-gun data by agency in Connecticut Jan. 27, 2016 (AP): Connecticut police agencies are required under a 2014 law to record information about each use of a stun gun.

For each city, the breakdown by race is provided in cases where stun guns were deployed, or fired, and those in which a stun gun was unholstered or threatened but not used. The data are preliminary, pending a state report expected in coming weeks. HARTFORD, 51 incidents: Deployed (51): 3 white, 33 black, 15 Hispanic/ Latino. Not deployed (0).

LOIRA and Ohio’s Voice invite U.S. Senate candidates to attend “DAPA Dinner,” Feb. 27 Lorain, Feb. 1, 2016: Last week, the Lorain Ohio Immigrants’ Rights Association (LOIRA) and Ohio’s Voice invited the three candidates for U.S. Senate: former Governor Ted Strickland (D), Cincinnati City Council Member PG Sittenfeld (D), and Senator Rob Portman (R) to sit down with DAPA-eligible families as part of the ongoing “DAPA Dinners” campaign. “DAPA Dinners” is an initiative that invites all 2016 candidates, Senators, and Members of Congress to join an immigrant family for a meal, to discuss how federal immigration actions impact children, families, and communities. Approximately 35,000 Ohio immigrants—including many members of LOIRA—would be eligible for deportation deferral, work permits, and

state driver’s licenses under deferred action policies announced by President Obama in 2015. However, Ohio joined with other Republican-led states to sue the Federal government and block Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) and the expansion of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Now, the fate of these policies—indeed, the fate of our families—will be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in June 2016. Said José Mendiola, president of Lorain Ohio Immigrants’ Rights Association, “We hope that the candidates will join us and engage in meaningful dialogue on immigration reform. Regardless of the candidates’ prior positions on DAPA and DACA, we hope they will break bread with Ohio families, and see for themselves

the human cost of blocking these programs.” Lynn Tramonte, director of Ohio’s Voice, said this: “The State of Ohio is literally suing its own families and children. We want our leaders—and anyone who wants to represent us in Washington—to hear directly from people whose lives are in limbo because of the anti-DAPA and antiDACA lawsuit. These are decent, hardworking people who just want a chance to stabilize their lives, yet the state is suing to keep them down.” The dinner will take place on February 27, 2016 at noon at a church in Lorain, Ohio, to be announced. LOIRA members will cook and serve traditional Mexican dishes to their community of supporters and any of the three Senate candidates who decide to attend.

McDonald: Secretary of State Directive will increase number of absentee ballots January 29, 2016: Today, Secretary of State Jon Husted released a directive that clarifies the way election administrators in Ohio will conduct absentee voting for future elections. The directive included eight instructions meant to address the unusually high quantity of late absentee ballots that were received by boards of elections across Ohio after the November 3, 2015 General Election. According to Pat McDonald, the Director of the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections, the primary cause of the problem was the lack of a postmark on ballots received after Election Day. “Ohio law allows us to count absentee ballots received up to 10 days after Election Day as long as they are postmarked by the U.S. Postal Service prior to Election Day. However, we had to reject over 900 ballots we received after Election Day because they did not have a postmark,” said McDonald. The same issue was experienced in many other counties in Ohio, includ-

ing in Summit County, where over 800 late-arriving ballots were rejected because no postmark had been applied. However, after thorough discussions between his staff and the U.S. Postal Service, Secretary Husted has identified several common-sense solutions that will help reduce the number of rejected ballots for future elections. The solutions include using a smaller “letter-sized” envelope that is more likely to be postmarked than larger envelopes and the expansion and clarification of what election officials can consider a “postmark”. “In addition to the traditional” postmark, we will now be able to use the date printed on postage labels obtained from a U.S. Postal Service customer service window or self-service kiosk,” said McDonald. “This provision alone would have allowed us to count over 330 additional ballots from last year’s General Election,” he said. Additionally, the directive requires boards of elections to obtain an inexpensive scanner that has the abil-

ity to scan a fluorescent barcode applied by the U.S. Postal Service to most envelopes 2 processed by its equipment. The bar code includes a date- and time-stamp that, when transcoded by the scanner, can be used as a postmark date to determine whether the ballot can be counted. “In a post-election test with this scanner, we found that 250 ballots were actually processed by the U.S. Postal Service prior to Election Day,” said McDonald. While some of the requirements included in the directive need to be implemented prior to the March 15, 2016 Primary Election, boards of elections will need to meet all requirements prior to the November 8, 2016 General Election. “It’s important to have this problem addressed prior to the Presidential Election because all voters in Ohio will receive an absentee ballot application, and we expect up to 1.9 million voters statewide to vote absentee,” said McDonald.

Exchange Program exposes Chinese students to life in Ohio, Michigan, & L.A.: About three dozen middle school students from China are getting a taste of life in the United States this month through a student exchange program. The students and four of their teachers are staying with host families over a three-week period. The students arrived at Detroit Metro Airport on Saturday, Jan. 16, 2016. They are spending their Chinese New Year holiday break in the U.S. The Northwest Ohio leg of their journey will last until Feb. 6, when they fly to Los Angeles for a week of sightseeing, and then onward to China. The students, ages 12 to 14, attend classes alongside students from their host families at Fassett Middle School in Oregon, Lake Middle School, Woodmore Middle School in Woodville, and Rossford Middle School. Nine students and a teacher are at each school. This is the fifth year for the Youth Ambassador exchange program.
