LA HABANA, 9 III 16(AP): Pese a la importanciade la visita del presidenteBarack Obama a Cuba, susimple presencia no serásuficiente para eliminar deun plumazo todas lasdiferencias entre ambospaíses o los reclamos de laisla, aseguró el PartidoComunista.
Un extenso editorial delperiódico oficial Granmael miércoles indicó queObama será “bienvenido”a Cuba pero tambiénenfatizó las diferenciasque se formaron a lo largode cinco décadas deruptura.
“Para l legar a lanormalización queda unlargo y complejo caminopor recorrer , querequerirá de la soluciónde asuntos claves. y queprofundizaron el carácterconfrontacional (deconfrontación) de losvínculos entre los dospaíses”, expresó elrotat ivo, órgano delPartido Comunista deCuba.

ASPEN, Colorado, 7 III16 (AP) Un grupo de 12estudiantes de segundariade Aspen, Colorado,visitará Cuba durante lasvacaciones de primaveracomo integrantes de un clubde apreciación cultural.

Detroit, MI: A partir delmartes 8 de marzo, elConsulado de México en De-troit comenzó a realizar lacaptura de información parael trámite gratuito de lacredencial de elector, la cualserá procesada por el InstitutoNacional Electoral (INE) yenviada por correo alsolicitante.
El pasado 8 de febrerocomenzaron a procesar so-licitudes los consulados deSanta Ana, San Francisco,San José y Sacramento, enCalifornia, así como en lassedes consulares de Chicago,Dallas, Austin, Houston, SanAntonio, Atlanta, Denver,Phoenix, Nueva York y Ra-leigh. El proceso ahora seextiende en más ciudades deEstados Unidos y a partir del8 de agosto continuará enEuropa, Asia yLatinoamérica.
“Ya hicimos las pruebasnecesarias y estamos listospara capturar la informaciónde todos los mexicanos queviven en el exterior y deseenobtener su credencial paravotar por primera vez o bien,renovar la existente”, aseguróJuan Manuel Solana, Cónsulde México en Detroit.
El proceso para dichotrámite es el siguiente:
1. Hacer una cita conMexitel al número gratuito:1-877-MEXITEL (1-877-639-4835)
2. Preparar ladocumentación: Acta deNacimiento, identificaciónoficial con fotografía ycomprobante de domicilio.
Mexitel se encargará deexplicarles los requisitosque deben presentar y encaso de no contar con actade nacimiento, la puedentramitar directamente en elConsulado de México. Laidentificación tiene que sermexicana, como porejemplo: pasaporte,matrícula consular ocredencial de electorvencida en caso derenovación. “Hasta ahora nome han confirmado si seaceptarán las licencias demanejo de México, estoyesperando que mecompleten la información;sin embargo, yo sugiero usarel pasaporte o matricula yaque la mayoría de la gente lotiene y si no, aquí podemosayudarles también con eltrámite”, dijo el diplomático
WASHINGTON, DC, 8III 16 (AP): Una senadorade Estados Unidos exhortóal gobierno de Obama paraque levante lasrestricciones sobreinversiones en Cuba conel fin de que los hotelesestadounidenses puedanoperar en la isla caribeña.
Amy Klobuchar, unademócrata de Minnesota,dijo que a medida que lasrelaciones diplomáticas
mexicano.El personal del Consulado
se encargará de verificar ladocumentación presentada,capturarla y mandarlaescaneada a las autoridadeselectorales de México paraque ellos evalúen lainformación y emitan cuandoconsideran prudente, lascredenciales. Una vez queestén listas, las enviarán porcorreo al solicitante, por esoes importante que la direcciónsea correcta y completa. Encaso de cambiar de domicilio,reportarlo de inmediato alConsulado.
El Cónsul Solana informóque hay una separación muyimportante entre lasautoridades electorales y elpoder ejecutivo. “Nosotrossomos parte del poderejecutivo y por lo tanto, nopodemos realizar el trámitede dicha identificación; loúnico que hacemos verificarlos documentos y enviarlos alas autoridadescorrespondientes”.
Luego de haber realizadoeste proceso, lo que procedees lo siguiente:
3. Ingresar a la páginadel INE (http://www.ine.mx/archivos2/portal/credencial/extranjero/) para consular elproceso en que se encuentrala credencial. Este serviciopermitirá estar en contactopara cualquier duda oaclaración.
De acuerdo con el INE, eldocumento para votar seráenviado, en un plazo de tres acuatro semanas, a la direcciónque indique el solicitante ensu comprobante de domicilio.
4. Por último, esimportante activar lacredencial. Una vez que sereciba es necesario activarlaen el mismo sitio web del INE( h t t p : / / w w w . i n e . m x /archivos2/portal/credencial/extranjero/) para evitar un maluso. Sólo se necesita el númerode folio indicado en el recibo,la fecha de nacimiento yalgunos datos que aparecenen la nueva credencial. Deesta manera, el votante
quedara incluido en la listanominal de electoresresidentes en el extranjeropara votar.
Una cosa muyimportante que mencionóel Cónsul Juan ManuelSolana es que losmexicanos deben estarconsientes que con estetrámite van a perder suregistro en México. “Si seregistran en el extranjero,solamente van a podervotar en aquellaselecciones en que estéautorizado el voto en elextranjero en algunosestados y desde luego, enlas eleccionespresidenciales; pero si vana México y quieren votarcomo antes, no lo van apoder hacer”.
Otro dato importante adestacar es que lacredencial de elector no esaceptada en EstadosUnidos para abrir cuentasbancarias. Es unaidentificación mexicana yun elemento indispensablepara poder votar enMéxico.
De acuerdo con el sitioweb del INE, con estacredencial se podría votaren el 2016 para elegir algobernador deAguascalientes, Oaxaca yZacatecas. En el 2017 paraCoahuila y en el 2018 parael gobernador de Chiapas,Guanajuato, Jalisco,Morelos y Puebla. Para eljefe de gobierno delDistrito Federal y en laselecciones de Yucatán. Tanpronto se acerquen lasfechas de las elecciones, sedarán a conocer losdetalles.
El INE destacó que estanueva opción para losconnacionales se trata deun hecho histórico, ya quela credencial electoral sólose podía tramitar enterritorio mexicano. Estecambio busca incrementarla participación de losmexicanos en el exterioren los procesos electoralesde México.

La lista de reclamos deCuba va desde “ellevantamiento del bloqueoeconómico, comercial yfinanciero, que provocaprivaciones al pueblocubano” hasta ladevolución de la Base Na-val de Guantánamo.
El rotat ivo exigióademás que Washingtonabandone su “pretensiónde fabricar una oposiciónpolítica interna sufragadacon dinero de losc o n t r i b u y e n t e sestadounidenses” y ceselas transmisiones de Radioy TV Martí , órganospagados por el presupuestofederal con destino a Cubay que casi nadie recibepues la isla logró frenar laseñal sobre su territorio.
Los reclamos de Cuba seproducen pocas semanasantes de la visita delpresidente Obama a la isla,el 21 y 22 de marzo, la
primera de un mandatarioen ejercicio desde 1928.
La gira de Obama porla isla está marcada poruna intensa polémica enEstados Unidos entre susdefensores y losdetractores de la isla queconsideran que el viajepresidencial darácredibilidad a un gobiernocomunista y sistema departido único.
Cuba por su parteinsistió en este editorialque no tiene intencionesde realizar reformaspolíticas y que mantendrásu política de derechoshumanos y justicia social,a la par que no desea queWashington se inmiscuyaen sus asuntos internos.
Obama y el presidenteRaúl Castro anunciaronen diciembre de 2014 elinicio de un proceso dedeshielo y en 2015reabrieron sus respectivasembajadas.

MIAMI, March 10, 2016(AP): Fighting for Florida andbeyond, Hillary Clinton andBernie Sanders tangled in anintense debate over who’s thetrue friend of “American His-panics,” trading accusationsover guestworker programs``akin to slavery” and theembracing of ``vigilantes’’against immigrants.
They had even worse thingsto say about Republican front-runner Donald Trump.
Facing off Thursdayevening, just six days beforeFlorida gives its verdict onthe presidential race, Clintonfaulted Sanders for repeat-edly voting against a 2007comprehensive immigrationreform bill; he faulted her foropposing a 2007 effort to letpeople who were in the coun-try “illegally” obtain driver’slicenses.
Had the immigrationpackage passed back then,Clinton said, “a lot of theissues we are still discussingtoday would be in the rear-view mirror.”
Sanders retorted that heopposed the legislation be-cause it included a guestworkerprogram “akin to slavery.”Numerous Latino organiza-tions, including LULAC, op-posed the legislation for thisreason.
The debate opened with aquestion that appeared tostartle Clinton.
7 III 16 (AP): Durante laúltima semana en AméricaLatina y el Caribe elentorno político en Brasilganó tensión cuando elexpresidente Luiz InacioLula da Silva fueinterrogado por la policíafederal en el escándalo decorrupción de Petrobras.
Silva criticó laoperación policial,sugiriendo que formabaparte de una campaña dedesprestigio contra él, supartido y la sucesora que éldesignó, la presidentaDilma Roussef. Partidariosy detractores delexpresidente chocaron enlas calles.

Univision’s Jorge Ramosasked her if she would dropout of the race if indictedover the handling of her emailwhile secretary of state.
“Oh for goodness, that isnot going to happen,” Clintondeclared. “I’m not even an-swering that question.”
The FBI is investigatingthe possibility that Clintonmishandled sensitive infor-mation that passed throughher private email server.
Sanders, as he has in thepast, declined to bite on theissue, saying, “The processwill take its course.” He saidhe’d rather talk about the is-sues of wealth and incomeinequality.
Both candidates were bid-ding for momentum afterSanders surprised Clintonwith an upset victory inMichigan on Tuesday.
Clinton stressed that shehas a strong lead in the del-egates, declaring, “This is amarathon, and it is a mara-thon that can only be carriedby the kind of campaign I amrunning.”
Sanders said his Michigansurprise was evidence that hismessage is resonating.
“We are going to continueto do extremely well,” he said,adding that he expects to con-vince superdelegates who arebacking Clinton to switch tohis column.
Immigration commanded
considerable attention forgood reason: Florida ishome to nearly 1.8 millionLatinos, who make up about15 percent of the state’sDemocrats.
Latino voters have madeup about 10 percent of vot-ers in the Democratic pri-maries so far this year, andClinton has been gettingabout two-thirds of theirvotes to about one-third forSanders. The Vermont sena-tor stresses that he’s mak-ing progress on winningover younger Hispanics.
Clinton at one point ac-cused Sanders of support-ing legislation that wouldhave led to indefinite de-tention of people facingdeportation, and for stand-ing with Minutemen vigi-lantes. He called that no-tion “ridiculous” and “ab-surd,” and accused Clintonof picking small pieces outof big legislative packagesto distort his voting record.
“No, I do not support vigi-lantes and that is a horrificstatement and an unfair state-ment to make,” he said.
For all the disagreements,the overall tone of the candi-dates was considerably lesstense than their Sundayfaceoff. Sanders even pausedat one point to make fun ofhis own pronunciation of“huge” as “yuge.”
Both found agreement in
pointing to GOP front-runnerTrump as markedly worse onimmigration than either ofthem.
Clinton mocked Trump’splan for a wall on the Mexi-can border, saying he’d build“the most beautiful tall wall,better than the great wall ofChina” to be “magically”paid for by Mexico. That, shesaid, is a fantasy.
Sanders said that in the im-migration debate “we do not,as Donald Trump and othershave done, resort to racism andxenophobia and bigotry.”
There were any number ofareas of agreement, includingthe need to reduce student loandebt. Sanders said he’d comeup with a plan “many monthsbefore she did.”
“Thanks for copying a verygood idea,” he said.
The candidates squaredoff soon after a testy debate inMichigan on Sunday inwhich they argued about tradeand economic issues of par-ticular interest in the indus-trial Midwest.
With Missouri, Illinoisand Ohio among the statesthat voted on Tuesday, thecandidates returned to apointed matter they’d alreadyargued about three days ear-lier, scuffling over Sanders’vote against 2009 legislationthat bailed out the auto in-dustry, among others. Sand-ers said he opposed the bill

because it also bailed out bigbanks that had fueled the re-cession to begin with. Clintonstressed she’d made a differ-ent judgment to side with theautomakers.
Overall, 691 delegates areat stake on Tuesday, including214 in Florida, which awardsits delegates proportionally.
Clinton has won 762pledged delegates comparedto 549 for Sanders, with 10
delegates from recent prima-ries still to be allocated. Whensuperdelegates are included,Clinton leads 1,223 to 574,more than halfway to the 2,383needed to win the Democraticnomination.

The lec-tures are sponsored by TheUniversity of Toledo’s Col-lege of Communication andthe Arts and College ofNatural Sciences and Math-ematics, and The ToledoMuseum of Art.
Friday, March 18, Smithwill give a talk entitled“Disappearing Ink! Unrav-eling the Fading of a Mod-ern Design Object.” It willbe held at 6 p.m. In the To-ledo Museum of Art LittleTheater. He examines acontemporary vase from thedesign collection that fadedbadly during its first year
after entering the IMA col-lection. This led to Smith’sexploration of its continu-ing lightfastness issues, aninterview with the artist, anda scientific analysis of thematerials of its creation.What did he discover? Joinus for this talk to learn theanswer and investigatewhat’s going on with Un-titled #1176 (Elisabeth-Elizabeth), a contemporarywork by artist Petah Coynein the Toledo Museum ofArt’s collection.
Saturday, March 19,Smith’s talk will be“Goghing, Goghing, Gone!The Analysis of Color Fad-ing in Masterpieces byVincent Van Gogh.” Thelecture highlights a recentcollaborative project inves-tigating color fading inVincent van Gogh’s 1890
masterpiece, “Under-growth with Two Figures.”
The artist’s use of amodern fugitive dye,present as the pigment Ge-ranium Lake, has resultedin significant color changein the picture and a shift inthe aesthetics of the art-work. A brief history of thesynthesis of eosin, and ofits importance in artworksof the late 1800s will begiven. A virtual restorationof Undergrowth using real-istic colored layers deter-mined by micro-colorim-etry of cross-sections of thepainting gives a better“impression” of this post-Impressionist’s artisticefforts.

Mortgage rates have recently increased from historic lows, but they arestill low enough to consider refinancing your mortgage loan. Refinancingmay be a great option for you to lower your monthly mortgage payment.However, it’s import to consider your financial goals and know exactlyhow much you will save before you do. Here are some important thingsto consider:
• How much will your monthly payment decrease? “This is oneof the most common questions that I get asked,” said TashaJacobs, Mortgage Lender at First Federal Bank. “The decreasein payment will depend on the term of the new loan, how muchlower the new interest rate will be, the loan amount and if thereis enough equity so that private mortgage insurance, oftenreferred to as PMI, isn’t required.” When refinancing, you canevaluate your savings through different lengths of loans, forexample, extending your mortgage to 30 years, keeping thecurrent term or even shortening the term. Another importantfactor to keep in mind is any additional fees associated withrefinancing. Although your monthly payment may be reduced,you will need to compare the closing costs to the monthlysavings to ensure refinancing is to your benefit.
• How long will it take to recoup your closing costs and otherfees? If you pay $2,000 in closing costs and you’re going tosave $200 on your monthly payment, you really won’t recoveryour costs for about 10 months. But, that still may be worth itto you over the life of your loan.
• How much equity do you have in your home? The more equityyou have, the easier it is to refinance your mortgage. And, inmany instances, you’ll be able to qualify for a conventionalloan that will save you money in the long-run. The value of yourhome will be determined with a new appraisal. This will providethe current market value of your home and factor in any updatesyou have completed.
• What is your credit score? Your credit score is always animportant factor when it comes to financing. To view a freecredit report, visit annualcreditreport.com or call 877-322-8228. You may be able to get a lower cost loan if you have“good credit” now, even if you didn’t have it when youpurchased your home a few years ago.
If you feel like now is the time to refinance your mortgage, you can setup a meeting with Tasha Jacobs at (419) 537-9312 or by email [email protected] to see if refinancing can benefit you.

LANSING, March 9, 2016(AP): Republican DonaldTrump and Democrat BernieSanders won in Michigan’spresidential primaries on Tues-day—Sanders sending a bigmessage in this industrial statethat he is still viable in the2016 race and Trump holdingonto his front-runner status.
Trump comfortably defeatedOhio Gov. John Kasich andTexas Sen. Ted Cruz, who werein a close battle for second, andFlorida Sen. Marco Rubio, whofell short of a 15 percent thresh-old to collect delegates.
Fifty-nine delegates—thethird most in the GOP contestso far—will be divided pro-portionally among the Repub-licans. Trump—who led by 12percentage points with 90 per-cent of precincts reporting—will win at least 21 Michigandelegates, Kasich at least 15and Cruz at least 12.
Clinton, the former secre-tary of state, and Sanders, aVermont senator, were set toshare 130 delegates—the sec-ond-largest haul so far—notincluding unboundsuperdelegates. Sanders had 50percent of the vote to Clinton’s48 percent—a surprise afterpolls showed Clinton leading.Sanders will win at least 63Michigan delegates andClinton at least 52.
In a news conference at oneof his Florida resorts, Trumppredicted he would win Michi-gan in November’s generalelection—something a Re-publican nominee has notdone in 28 years.
Sanders, also speaking fromFlorida before next week’s pri-
mary, said Michigan voters “re-pudiated” the polls and pundits.
“What tonight means is thatthe Bernie Sanders campaign,the people’s revolution, thepolitical revolution, is strongin every part of the country.And, frankly, we believe ourstrongest areas are yet to hap-pen,” he said.
Car salesman RickWaddell, 61, of Crystal Town-ship in Montcalm Countynortheast of Grand Rapids,said he and his wife, Kaye,voted for Trump.
“We are so disappointedwith the GOP establishment,and the same old, same olddoesn’t cut it,” he said. “Weneed drastic action to reverseour downward spiral economi-cally.”
In recent days, the Demo-crats battled over trade dealsand auto bailouts in the statethat lost hundreds of thousandsof manufacturing jobs in a pro-tracted, decade-long down-turn. They also held a debate inFlint, where residents need fil-ters to use tap water because oflead contamination resultingfrom state regulatory failures.
Oriana Barnett, a stay-at-home mom from Ann Arbor,said she decided after Sunday’sdebate that she would supportSanders. She cited his firmstance against fracking andClinton’s “more conserva-tive” answers.
“I voted with my heart, notmy head,” she said.
But her husband felt differ-ently.
“I voted with my head,”said Josh Barnett, a retail buyer.“I want to win.”

Among Republicans, whodebated in Detroit, Kasich inparticular put a heavy empha-sis on Michigan.
Claire and Mick Olinik ofTraverse City made Kasichtheir choice. They said theybelieve he is fiscally respon-sible and smart—someonewho would exercise goodjudgment and represent thenation well.
“I like the fact that he leansmore conservative, but he’snot a scary conservative,” saidClaire, a professional musi-cian and co-owner with herhusband of a marketing busi-ness. “Of everybody still leftin the race, frankly, he’s theone that scares me least.”
Clinton marked primaryday with some stops at a bak-ery and coffeehouse in De-troit, where she was hoping tomaintain the overwhelmingsupport from black voters shehas received elsewhere.
“I like what she standsfor—trying to keep our moneyhere in the United States,” saidKisha Gibson, 43, a host at aDetroit casino. “She said thatif you are taking jobs else-where, you need to pay a tax.”
After this summer’s nationalconventions, Michigan will becrucial to the Democratic nomi-nee. Democrats have won thestate six straight times datingback to 1992, and the generalelection has not been com-petitive since 2004.

BOGOTA, Colombia, 11III 16 (AP): Los RollingStones cumplieron el juevesla deuda que durante másde tres décadas tuvieron consus seguidores en Colom-bia y debutaron en el paísuna noche de amigos en laque estuvieronacompañados de la estrellacolombiana Juanes.
“Les tenemos unasorpresa de un parcero(amigo) que queremosmucho”, anunció lalegendaria banda británicaen su cuenta oficial de Twit-ter al tiempo que elvocalista, Mick Jagger,recibía al músico natural deMedellín en el escenario delestadio El Campín deBogotá.
Con su guitarra bajo elbrazo y visiblementeemocionado, Juanes sumósu voz a la de Jagger parainterpretar “Beast of Bur-den”, del disco de 1978“Some Girls”, y con la quedesataron la euforia entrelas cerca de 40.000 perso-nas que asistieron alconcierto según cifrasproporcionadas por lapromotora OCESA.
Horas antes de suintervención en el conciertode los Stones, el ganador de21 Grammys Latinosanunció a sus seguidores en
CARTAGENA, Co-lombia, 9 III 16 (AP): Su-san Sarandon, invitada dehonor del FestivalInternacional de Cine deCartagena de Indias,tiene una ampliatrayectoria y un Oscar ensu haber, pero nunca hatomado una clase deactuación.
“Ni siquiera sé si hoyen día las llaman así, clasesde actuación”, dijo laactriz estadounidense,galardonada con el Premiode la Academia por supapel protagónico en“Dead Man Walking”(“Pena de muerte”), de1995.
Al momento deprepararse para unproyecto cinematográfico“uno sigue su intuición”,manifestó en unconversatorio en la 56taedición del festival, queterminó el lunes.
“Para mí lo importantees saber quién está depitcher y quién está decátcher, qué es lo quequieren” los realizadores.“Y luego, cuando estásactuando con alguien y sute abres y realmenteescuchas, ... el efectopuede ser sorprendente.Yo me he encontradollorando en una escena queno esperaba que iba aconmoverme”.
La estrella del clásico deculto “The Rocky Horror Pic-ture Show” (“Orgía de horror ylocura”) y “The Witches ofEastwick” (“Las brujas deEastwick”) comparó suexperiencia en el cine y elteatro, calificando este últimocomo más complejo porque“en el cine solo tienes queconseguir hacerlo bien por unmomento” mientras que en lastablas los espectadores “estánviendo todo lo que haces”.
Sarandon pasó cuatro díasen esta ciudad caribeña al nortede Colombia, donde participóen diferentes eventos del festi-val y recibió la estatuilla de laIndia Catalina enreconocimiento a sus más decuatro décadas de trayectoriaartística.
Se refirió además a la faltade diversidad y el sexismo enHollywood.
“La manera de cambiar elsexismo en Hollywood no pasapor arrojar estadísticas decuántos papeles le dan a lasmujeres, pasa por la diversidadde ideas. A Hollywood le faltaimaginación”, dijo la actriz.Hay que dejar de pensar en losmédicos como hombresblancos y en las prostitutascomo mujeres negras, agregó.“Tenemos que empezar apensar en cómo funciona elmundo en la realidad”.
En entrevista con la AP, latambién activista y defensorade los derechos humanos

“Emocionado porquehoy voy a ver a los Stones enBogotá!!!”, escribió elmúsico en su cuenta.
Juanes coreó a todopulmón la canción queinterpretó con Jagger ycompletó su actuación conun duelo de riffs entre él yguitarrista de los Stones,Keith Richards.
“íFantástico!”, gritóJagger al término de laintervención del composi-tor e intérprete de 43 años, aquien despidió del escenariocon un abrazo.
La participación deJuanes fue bien recibida porlos miles de asistentes, cuyoánimo no decayó en ningúnmomento a pesar de la fuertelluvia que azotó la capitalcolombiana horas antes delespectáculo, después devarios meses de sequíacausada por el fenómeno deEl Niño.
Entre los asistentes alconcierto estuvieron los
integrantes de Eagles OfDeath Metal, el grupoestadounidense que tocabaen la sala Bataclan de Parísla noche de los atentadosdel 13 de noviembre, y queestán en Bogotá paraparticipar en la 7a edicióndel Festival Estéreo Picnic.
La gira “Olé”, que marcael regreso de los Stones aLatinoamérica después deuna década, comenzó el 3de febrero en Santiago deChile e incluyó paradas enBrasil, Argentina, Uruguayy Perú.
Tras su visita aSudamérica, los Stonesllegarán a México lapróxima semana, dondetienen programados dosconciertos en el Foro Sol, el14 y 17 de marzo.

Dijo que la genteconstantemente vota encontra de sus propiosintereses porque “no estáneducados adecuadamentey culpo a la prensa por ello,porque pensaron queDonald Trump era tandivertido que siguieron conDonald Trump e ignorarona Bernie Sanders”.
También dijo que tieneesperanza en el proceso depaz que actualmentedesarrolla Colombia con elgrupo insurgente de lasFARC en La Habana, Cuba.
“Entiendo que es unproceso difícil queimplicará cierta cantidad deconfianza y cierta cantidadde compromiso para poderllegar a un punto en el cualla gente sea capaz de vivircon cualquiera que sea lasolución”, dijo en estesentido.

TOLEDO, March 6,2016: CongresswomanMarcy Kaptur announcedtoday that Josh Trout, a stu-dent at Perkins HighSchool, is the Ohio 9th Con-gressional District overallwinner of the 2016 Con-gressional Arts Competi-tion, “An Artistic Discov-ery.” RepresentativeKaptur made the announce-ment at an awards ceremonySunday afternoon.
A six-member panel ofjudges recognized Josh forhis original work titled “StillLife,” which will hang inthe U.S. Capitol for the com-ing year. A reception willalso be held this summer forJosh and other Congres-sional Art Competition win-ners in the Capitol VisitorsCenter in Washington D.C.The winner and a guestwill have the opportunityto receive round-triptickets, courtesy of South-west Airlines, to attend thereception.
“The student artworkwe received this yearshowed great skill and cre-ativity from many youngartists throughout the re-gion, and I commend eachof our participants for theircreativity and initiative.”said CongresswomanKaptur. “Josh’s work stood
March 11, 2016: TheToledo Zoo made it toMexico. Well, at least ninetagged monarch butter-flies released by the Zoo’sconservation initiative,Wild Toledo, completedthe 2,200+ mile migrationto their historic overwin-tering grounds south of theborder.
Monarch butterflies(Danaus plexippusplexippus) are easily rec-ognizable because of theirorange and black color-ing. However, monarchsare also a declining spe-cies because of loss of habi-tat and food sources, mak-ing this recorded migra-tion a true success for bi-ologists and butterfliesalike.
Nine Toledo Zoo tagswere recovered in ElRosario Butterfly Reserve,located in Angangueo,Michoacan, Mexico. Datashows that the recoveredtags were from seven malesand two females that werereleased on Zoo groundsbetween August 30 andSeptember 7, 2015. Therecovery of these tagsmeans that at least thosenine butterflies completedthe entire journey fromToledo to Mexico, whichif one were to walk thebelieved route would takealmost 700 hours!
As Wild Toledo coor-dinator, Ryan Walsh, hy-pothesizes, finding thesenine tags together in anarea probably means thatthe monarchs stayed to-gether throughout the mi-gration and that a lot moreactually made it but werenot recovered. He went on
to point out thatit is still early inthe typical re-covery period,so more tagsmay be located.
Tag recov-ery rates varyyear to year butare typicallyquite low dueto the incredible density ofmonarchs in the protectedland and the small groups oflocals and eco-tourists col-lecting the tags. Reports andpictures from the area showhuge Cozumel fir trees com-pletely covered in butterflieswith branches drooping fromthe weight of the humongousmonarch colonies.
In 2014, the Zoo released280 tagged monarchs and notags were recovered. In 2015,760 monarchs were taggedand released, meaning 1 inapproximately every 85 but-terflies were recovered. Thatis an incredible increase fromwhen tagging began and only1 in 1,000 tags were recov-ered! Walsh chuckled:“We’re not sure exactly whywe had such a good year, butthat doesn’t take away fromhow incredible it is to havethese tags recovered.”
All monarch butterfliesreared at the Toledo Zoo areraised from eggs collected inthe native prairies on Zoogrounds and feed on milk-weed grown from seed insidethe greenhouse to control thepossibility of disease.
Before release, each mon-arch butterfly is tagged byhand with a small sticker in-dicating an individual iden-tification number from Mon-arch Watch, a dedicatedgroup of students, scientists
and citizen scientists com-mitted to the conservationof the iconic butterfly spe-cies.
Each tag displays threeletters and three numbersalong with an email addressto report the finding. Eachidentification number cor-responds to a record en-tered into the database thatcontains information suchas sex, captive or wild-reared and the release date.Once recovered, tag num-bers are recorded and theresults released online socontributing institutionsmay track their ownprogress.
The increase in mon-archs being reared in thegreenhouse at the ToledoZoo is thanks in part to theZoo PAL (Proud AnimalLover) sponsorship pro-gram that enables the pub-lic to symbolically adopt amonarch for a nominal fee.Walsh assures that he isemailing the “monarchparents” from 2015 to re-lay this exciting news andthat the Zoo is already pre-paring for another releasethis summer. “We will defi-nitely do it again. We arevery excited and encour-aged by our results andcan’t wait to continue shar-ing this incredible naturalwonder!”

In addition to the competi-tion winner, students fromBowsher High School, CentralHigh School, Lakewood HighSchool, Maumee Valley Coun-try Day School, Notre DameAcademy, Oak Harbor HighSchool, Perkins High School,Rogers High School, SanduskyHigh School, Toledo School forthe Arts, Whitmer High School,and Woodward High Schoolwere also presented with awardsrecognizing their work.

VALPARAISO, Ind.,March 7, 2016 (AP):Parkview ElementarySchool kindergartners aregetting a lesson in Spanishthanks to legislation thatcreated a Dual LanguageImmersion pilot programgrant.
Parkview was one of fiveIndiana schools in the stateawarded the grant.
“Our kindergarten stu-dents are making outstand-ing progress,” ParkviewPrincipal Anne Wodetzkisaid. “There is so much youcan learn from a dual lan-guage program. It’s notonly language, it’s aboutculture and diversity. Whata gift in today’s global so-ciety.”
The Department of Edu-cation awarded a total of$422,532 in grants, whichwere funded by the stateduring the 2015 legislativesession. They provide fundsto school corporations thatestablish dual language im-mersion programs in Man-darin, Spanish, French orany other language ap-proved by the Indiana De-partment of Education.
Parkview received$82,817, which covers plan-ning, instructional materi-als—chosen by theschool—staff developmenttraining and to hire an addi-tional faculty member, ifneeded, to run the programor to take over duties of acurrent teacher instructingthe language class.
“Programs like this areexceptionally beneficial tostudents as they providestudents with the opportu-nity to acquire languageskills at a young age,” saidIndiana Department of Edu-cation spokeswomanSamantha Hart. “In a two-way immersion program
like what Valparaiso is work-ing toward, both native En-glish-speaking children andEnglish learner studentsbenefit from having instruc-tion in their home languageas well as another that willlead them toward multilin-gual proficiency as youngadults.”
Parkview kindergartenteacher Kristin Nguyen isteaching the Spanish pro-gram. She said they are us-ing a lot of gestures, visualsand repetition in the class.
“We’re teaching the mathstandards in Spanish,” shesaid.
Nguyen, a native Span-ish speaker, said studentswill learn concepts, shapesand numbers and will knowthe days of the week in Span-ish. She said students havepicked the language upquickly and have not beenoverwhelmed.
Parkview has to re-applyfor the grant next year, andthe school may accept inter-ested inter-transfer studentsfrom other Valpo elemen-tary schools.
Wodetzki said she wouldlike to expand the programby one grade every year,eventually offering it to allelementary grades. She saidthere are other teachers atParkview who speak Span-ish, so the program couldexpand for a couple of yearswith staff.
If interest in the programcontinues, school officialswould need to look to hireSpanish-speaking teachersas others retire. Transferringteachers to Parkview fromother schools in the future isalso a possibility to allowthe program to expand.
One reason Nguyen be-lieves Parkview was selectedfor the grant is because shespeaks Spanish. There is a
shortage of foreign lan-guage teachers in the state_ a topic Superintendent E.Ric Frataccia brought up ata School Board meeting inthe fall.
Indiana has seen morethan a 30 percent declineoverall in the number ofpeople entering its schoolsof education, and a similardecline over the last sixyears in the number ofpeople receiving initialpractitioner teaching li-censes, according to Hart.
“This teacher shortageimpacts all areas of our stateand every curriculumarea,” she said, “thoughsome have seen a greaterdecline than others.”
Wodetzki said there is ashortage of foreign-lan-guage teachers, but they areworking with other grantrecipient schools coordi-nate efforts to attract morequalified teachers fromboth the United States andabroad.
Hart said to address theteacher shortage, stateschools SuperintendentGlenda Ritz created a BlueRibbon Commission madeup of educators and othereducation stakeholders, todevelop strategies to recruitand retain educators inclassrooms.
“Superintendent Ritz iscommitted to implement-ing the strategies that donot require legislative ac-tion and will continue towork with the Legislatureto develop legislation toput into law those recom-mendations that do requirelegislative action,” shesaid.

que se le ascendió de lasmenores, el torpedero de 22años bateó para .313, con 12jonrones y 51 impulsadas.Añadió 12 robos y bateó para.361 con 78 hits después del4 de agosto. Esa cifra deimparables fue la másdestacada en las mayoresdurante ese lapso.
Asimismo, Lindor realizóvarias jugadas asombrosascon el guante, y lo hizo todocon una combinación deentusiasmo juvenil yuna madurez difícil de creera su edad.
Finalizó segundo en lavotación para el Novato delAño en la Liga Americana,sólo detrás de su coterráneoCarlos Correa, de Houston,quien debe agradecer queLindor no jugó la temporadacompleta.
“Uno sí olvida a veces suedad”, dijo el intermedistade Cleveland, Jason Kipnis.
Lindor cree que estadualidad entre un niñodivertido y un hombretrabajador es una herencia desus padres.
“La familia de mi mamá esmuy alegre”, comentóLindor, la octava seleccióngeneral del draft de 2011.“Del lado de mi papá, todosson más decididos a alcanzarsus metas”.
Y ese equilibrio hapermitido que Lindor muestresu talento. Muchos lo

consideran la mayor promesaen las Grandes Ligas.
Francona, quien ha estadocerca de grandes peloterosdurante una vida dedicada albéisbol, normalmente secuida para no elogiardemasiado a los jóvenes.Pero asevera que Lindortiene potencial para llegar alSalón de la Fama.
“No hay nada que él nopueda hacer”, indicóFrancona. “Batea comoambidiestro, tienevelocidad, saca la pelota delparque, juega muy bien a ladefensiva y es un chico muyinteligente. Es un paquetemuy bueno. Lo tiene.Sabemos que es un buenjugador y probablementeterminará siendo uno de losgrandes, ojalá”.
El camino de Lindor hacialas Grandes Ligas no fue tanterso como la forma en queacomete por un roletazo an-tes de lanzar una bala a laprimera base.
Cuando tenía 12 años, semudó de Puerto Rico aFlorida, donde asistió a laAcademia Monteverde, unaescuela privada dondetambién residió.
Había pasado toda la vidacon sus padres, y se topó conun mundo nuevo.
“Fue duro, porque yoera joven”, dijo Lindor.“No tenía a mi mamá cerca,n i a mi papá . Tuveque confiar en mis mae-stros y en mis compañeros
de equipo y de clase”.Solo, aprendió a aceptar la
responsabilidad por suserrores, a administrarsu tiempo y a integrarsecon un nuevo grupo deamigos, todo ello mientrasaprendía el inglés.
En retrospectiva, sienteque esos momentos duros loprepararon para la vida en lasmayores.
“Tuve que sobrevivir pormi cuenta”, relató. “Eso meayudó a ser mejor persona, aser un joven que trabajababien duro”.
Lindor aprovechó muchasde esas lecciones comonovato, y no tiene la intenciónde aflojar el paso.
Para él, llegar a las GrandesLigas no es suficiente.
“Tengo miedo de no teneréxito”, aseguró. “Tengomiedo de que mi familia noesté orgullosa de mí. Por esotrabajo lo más duro que puedo.Si dedico el tiempo y eltrabajo, a largo plazo tengoque ser exitoso, voy a serlo”.
En momentos en que seprepara para su segundatemporada, Lindor no da nadapor descontado. Francona locontempla como campocortotitular, pero el boricuaconsidera esta pretemporadatan importante como la ante-rior.

TOLEDO: Ohio’s Latinoleaders laid out their view-points on the formula forsuccessful Latino studentsduring the annual statewideLatino Education Summitheld Friday, March 11, 2016at The University of Toledo.More than 230 educatorsand Latino leaders attendedthe day-long event.
Bob Vásquez, presidentof the Toledo Public Schools(TPS) board of educationand Toledo Zoo’s director ofexternal affairs, addressedthe summit on the state ofLatino education in Ohio.
He told the audiencethere were more than 75,000Latino students enrolled inthe state school system dur-ing the 2013-14 academicyear, just under five percentof Ohio’s school popula-tion, expected to grow sig-nificantly in coming years.
“The future of educationfor Latino students, in mymind, is not all that clearespecially in Ohio,” saidVásquez. “We know fromthe projections, the appear-ance of students will change.We would hope that the ap-pearance of teachers and ad-ministrators would changeas well. My experience tellsme that it’s not necessarilyso, at least not in Ohio.”
Vásquez called educa-tion “the great equalizer,”but acknowledged the ex-isting achievement gap ofLatino students comparedto their counterparts. He alsonoted the continuation ofhigh dropout rates and lowgraduation rates among theLatino population in Ohio.
The TPS board of educa-tion president stated the mostimportant problem he seesin education—and one heacknowledged TPS hasbeen unable to solve andaffects Latino students andfamilies greatly—is familyengagement with individualschool buildings.
“Those students whohave the support of theirfamilies turn out to be themost academically success-ful students,” he said. “In myopinion, the values that thefamily has regarding educa-tion are what the studentwill absorb. That means thereare efforts that we, in theeducational system, have tomake and work on, as indi-viduals and organizationsthat we have in getting thestudents prepared and thefamilies to support them.”
The TPS board of educa-tion president laid out whathe saw as the prescription forclosing the achievement gap,both short-term and long-term, for Latinos in Ohio.
“For the kids in ourschool system, we have tobe more welcoming rightfrom the first contact andmaintain that positive ex-perience for the familythroughout. In addition,teachers and administratorsmust be culturally compe-tent. That is part of provid-ing that positive experi-ence,” Vásquez said. “Yetwe must encourage Hispan-ics to become teachers, prin-cipals, and superintendentsand board members. In Ohio,I don’t see a lot of Hispanic(school) board members.
But we can’t wait for that tohappen. We have to make alleducators understand that theyhave the responsibility, nomatter their race or ethnicity, tobe culturally competent and toknow what that really means.”
Part of that battle, he stated,involves making sure educa-tors don’t have “low expecta-tions” for the academic perfor-mance of Latino students. Atthe same time, students need toknow it will take hard work toachieve a higher plane of aca-demic performance. Vásquezchallenged the audience tomake that happen “with a senseof urgency.”
“We must demand aca-demic excellence and instill inour children that they have theability to succeed,” he said.“We must set the bar high. Wecannot allow others, throughtheir bias or through their preju-dices, to set that bar for us.”
Vásquez also asked the au-dience to help him find a way toimprove parent engagementwith school systems. He openlyadmitted he didn’t know thesolution to reaching Latinofamilies, let alone all families.
“There is no one resourcewe can use to our advantagemore to make Latino studentssucceed,” he noted. “It’s thefamily. It’s in our heritage.It’s in our culture. We need touse it.”
Keynote speaker,Dr. Lonny Rivera
Dr. Lonny Rivera, interimstate schools superintendent,delivered an inspiring keynoteaddress from his heart afterlunch. The former Toledo Pub-lic Schools (TPS) educator, prin-cipal and administrator and Or-egon Schools superintendentis the first Latino to ever ascendto that office.
“Because I was an athlete, Iwas a wrestler; it opened updoors for me. I got exposed to aworld I didn’t have access to—and it’s very humbling,” saidDr. Rivera, whose parents weremigrant farmworkers like manyLatino families who first settlein Northwest Ohio.
Dr. Rivera talked of the eth-ics instilled in him by his fatherand the limitations of his child-hood, barriers he overcamethrough hard work and the sup-port of family.
“The people in the neigh-borhood where we grew up werethe plumbers and the pipefittersand the welders, the ones whohad the trades and skills—thosewere the ones we had accessto,” recalled Dr. Rivera. “Be-cause anybody who had a col-lege degree or was college-edu-cated, we didn’t have access tofolks like that. We only knewthe world around us.”
As a result, he had no aspira-tions to attend college beyondgraduation.
“High school was hard forme,” Dr. Rivera admitted, atleast until he discovered ma-chining and the fact he couldlearn a hands-on skill that paidgood money while in highschool. He enrolled in the pro-gram his junior year. “I startedto learn why it was important tolearn that. Up until that point, Ididn’t understand why I wassitting in class, learning what Iwas learning.”
A career-technologyteacher put a piece of metal infront of him and gave instruc-
tions on what to do. Riverathe student suddenly real-ized he had to take complexmeasurements and under-stood why trigonometry wasimportant to learn.
“I had no idea—and it wasfun, and I was doing a great jobat it,” he said. “There’s a mis-nomer that’s out there in oursociety that if you’re involvedin vocational training or edu-cation, that somehow it’s less.I can tell you I had my first 3.0grade point average of my lifemy first quarter of college. Thelevel of complexity of thework in the trades and in ourvocational training is second-to-none.”
Dr. Rivera told the studentsin the audience to not dis-count career-tech prep pro-grams “as a safety net,” be-cause it can give them “some-thing to fall back on” if col-lege doesn’t work out.
“Don’t diminish that. Someof the jobs in our area, they’relooking for skilled trades,skilled labor people that canbe trained. They’ll put themoney and investments inyou,” he said. “I think weneed to tell our young peoplethat’s something that youcan do. But listen to this: itdoesn’t stop you from goingto college if you want to goall the way to the top. Youcan make it.”
The interim state schoolssuperintendent called it al-most accidental that he be-came Ohio’s top educatorearlier this year after he tooka job as the associate statesuperintendent in 2015,leaving the top post at Or-egon Schools behind in theprocess.
“It was not my intentionto sit in this seat at the top.But it has been an eye-open-ing experience for me,” saidDr. Rivera. “For all the thingswe do at the higher levels ofgovernment or education, forall those good things, themagic happens right there inthose seats.”
Dr. Rivera told a story ofhow he took over a ToledoPublic Schools building atthe age of 26 with “teacherswho had been doing it longerthan I was alive.” The formerSherman Elementary Schoolprincipal told the audiencehe quickly realized it wouldnot be him who would trans-form the one of the region’spoorest-performing build-ings, but the team he as-sembled as educators.
“We had people transfer-ring from some of the highest-performing buildings in thecity to our building becauseof the culture we created,” he
recalled. “I saythat because thesphere of influ-ence you create(as educators) isthe biggest differ-ence anyone canmake.”
Dr. Rivera hadreceived a full-ride wrestlingscholarship offerto MichiganState University,but didn’t qualifyacademically. AUniversity of To-ledo wrestlingcoach picked uphim and his dad
and helped him enroll inclasses, with the promise of ascholarship if he improvedhis grades.
“That man kept his word.It changed my life,” he said.“This was a man who cameout of his way to rescue some-one like me. But you mightget put in a situation whereyou can affect one life, onekid. You never know the bless-ing that you have. Don’t un-derestimate that.”
Dr. Cassandra Storlie, aKent State University re-searcher, provided a previewof best practices featured atthe summit during the open-ing breakfast session. Shenoted her research shows threemain factors in improving aca-demic performance amongLatino students: pride in eth-nic identity, school connec-tion, and family engagement.She called them “directly re-lated” to college and careerreadiness.
“Schools that demonstratethat students who engage in adeeper learning, particularlyabout jobs and careers thatinterest them are more moti-vated and take ownership oftheir education, which weknow results in higher perfor-mance and higher graduationrates,” she said. “We also knowthat, by 2018, 63 percent ofall U.S job openings will re-quire at least some collegecoursework. So it’s our re-sponsibility to close this gapfor Latino youth because theyare our future.”
Lilleana Cavanaugh, ex-ecutive director of the OhioCommission on HispanicLatino Affairs (OCHLA), in-troduced three Ohio organi-zations and agencies recog-nized by the White House forimproving the educationalachievement of Latino stu-dents. Those includedmentoring and scholarshipprograms at Cleveland-basedEsperanza, Inc., SpringfieldCity Schools for investing$750,000 in a range of ser-vices to better serve Latinofamilies, and the L.A.S.E.R.mentorship program at TheOhio State University.
The six Northwest Ohionominees for the OCHLAEducation AdvocateAward—Sabina Elizondo-Serratos, José Luna, Andreade la Roca, Lisa Canales,Baldemar Velásquez, andMargarita De León were rec-ognized during the summit.Ms. De León was selected toreceive the award based onher work in establishing theDiamante Awards and schol-arship program and UT’s an-nual Latino Youth Summit.

Cuban Sojourn:BGSU Group to travelto Cuba in May
Meantime, some BGSUstudents and faculty willvisit Havana, Cuba, imme-diately after the end ofclasses in May for a rarelook at a culture previouslyclosed to most U.S. citizensand one that is experienc-ing huge social change.
The Cuba trip involvesmembers of La Comunidadlearning community, aSpanish-speaking living-learning residential com-munity created to encour-age students in their Span-ish communication outsidethe classroom. LaComunidad members arefrom a variety of majors,but share a common inter-est in Spanish language andHispanic culture. The groupalso provides outlets for net-working and friendshipamong its membership ofstudents and professors.
To prepare for the Cubatrip, the BGSU studentsare meeting regularly withtrip leaders. Three BGSUprofessors are chaperon-ing the summertime learn-ing experience: Dr.Susana Peña, director ofthe School of Cultural andCritical Studies and anethnic studies facultymember; Pedro Porbén,romance and classicalstudies (Spanish); andCarmen Alvarez, directorof La Comunidad and aromance and classicalstudies faculty member,also in Spanish.
Dr. Peña and Porbén,both Cuban, have been at-tending some of Alvarez’sweekly classes to familiar-ize students with the cul-ture, food, history and tra-ditions of Cuba. This willbe their third time leadingstudents on trips to Ha-vana, but their first withfreshmen and sophomores.Porbén has even been call-ing upon family andfriends in Havana to helporganize the experience.
There have been filmnights and two Cubandinners, giving all stu-dents, not only those whoare going to Havana, in-sight into a new culture.
“It’s a learning experi-ence for me, too,” Alvarezsaid. “I’ve never been toCuba. But this will not be a‘touristy’ trip. We’ll visitsome museums but we’llalso visit with academicsand social entrepreneurs.”

The Toledo chambertouts itself as a staff of 20,with three lobbyists andthe only business PAC inthe region with access toensure their voices areheard by local and stateelected officials. Thechamber has four SmallBusiness DevelopmentCenter (SBDC) consult-ants, including certifiedpublic accountants andlawyers to help small busi-nesses meet opportunitiesand challenges.

and there is no charge forthat. If they’re contemplat-ing starting a business, al-ready in business looking togrow, looking for additionalfinancing, looking for addi-tional marketing strategies,they should absolutely callour chamber and get con-nected. It’s no-cost, confi-dential, one-on-one service.”
The chamber promotesgroup buying power throughsavings on natural gas andelectric service, health insur-ance, workers compensationcosts, and office supplies.
“These products and ser-vices that are part of our or-ganization are available toany small business, as theyalways have been,” said Ms.Gramza. “We’re just reach-ing out particularly to thatmarket segment with a spe-cial offer, specifically so theycan benefit from our Cham-ber Energy Solutions, whichthey don’t have accessthrough any other organiza-tion.”
The Chamber EnergySolutions energy savingsprogram, according toGramza, uses the strengthof group buying to help busi-nesses manage electric andnatural gas costs through abulk discount.
