“Pocas horas después deentrar en un estado de coma, hafallecido (a la una de lamadrugada) nuestra muy queridacompañera Gladys Marín,presidenta de nuestro partido”,señaló una declaración leída porGuillermo Teillier, secretariogeneral del Partido Comunista(PC).

“Perdemos a una gran per-sona, a una líder política, a unamujer que luchódenodadamente por la justicia,por la paz y contra la impunidad”,dijo el Vicario de la PastoralSocial, monseñor Sergio Baeza.

Los restos de Marín fuerontrasladados hasta el ex Congresoen un vehículo escoltado porunos 30 automóviles que erancustodiados por policías, quetambién facilitaron el tránsitopor disposición del presidenteRicardo Lagos, se informó.

La urna, saludada a su pasopor decenas de personas, fueinstalada en el salón plenariodel que fuera el recintolegislativo, que exhibía un granretrato de la líder comunista.

Marín permanecía en sudomicilio desde diciembre,cuando retornó de Cuba, dondefue tratada varios meses de sucáncer, del tipo glioblastomamultiforme, uno de los másagresivos y mortales, según losmédicos.

El tumor de Marín fuediagnosticado a fines deseptiembre del 2003, fue operadaen octubre en Estocolmo, Suecia,y luego viajó a Cuba.

Marín era viuda. Su esposo,el ingeniero Jorge Muñoz, fuedetenido en 1976 junto al restode la cúpula clandestina del PCpor agentes de la dictadura delgeneral Augusto Pinochet.Figura en la lista de unos 1.200detenidos-desaparecidos bajo elrégimen militar.

Ella ingresó al PC cuando

tenía 16 años, y a los 24 años fueelegida diputada, cargo quetenía al momento del golpeliderado por Pinochet, enseptiembre de 1973.

El PC la obligó a salir alexilio en 1974, pero volvió dosaños después y se unió a lalucha clandestina contra elrégimen militar. Es consideradauno de los símbolos delcombate a Pinochet.

Fue candidata al senado en1997, y en 1999 fue candidataa la presidencia, en laselecciones ganadas por Lagos.

Con el retorno de lademocracia en 1990, ellaprosiguió sus luchas, ahoracontra los gobiernos civiles, alos que acusó de olvidarse delos trabajadores porqueescogieron mantener el modeloeconómico neoliberalinstalado por el régimen militar.

Nunca dejó de perseguir aPinochet, y presentó la primeraquerella criminal en su contra,en 1998, la que el 2001 derivóen el primer juicio en Chile alex dictador. En agosto del 2004lo acusó mediante otra querellade ordenar la remoción de restosde detenidos-desaparecidos.• EEUU: Desazón entrelegisladores por controlde fronterasPor SUZANNE GAMBOAWASHINGTON (AP):

Demócratas y republicanosconcordaron el jueves en queEstados Unidos ha bajado laguardia en la protección de lasfronteras, en especial conMéxico, y criticaron los planespresupuestarios del presidenteGeorge W. Bush para laseguridad inmigratoria.

Los legisladores de laCámara de Representantesseñalaron que los terroristaspodrían esconderse entre loscientos de miles de inmigrantesilegales que tratan de cruzar lafrontera. Señalaron que lasagencias aduaneras no cuentancon los recursos humanos ni deequipos para mantener un con-trol detallado.

Estos se mostraronparticularmente preocupadospor la práctica gubernamentalde dejar en libertad a losinmigrantes ilegales que no seanmexicanos mientras se evalúansus casos de deportación.

“La Patrulla Fronteriza esnuestra primera línea de defensafrente a la entrada de terroristas,narcotraficantes o delincuentesa Estados Unidos”, dijo elrepresentante republicano JohnHostettler, presidente delComité Judicial de Inmigración.Dijo que se sentía decepcionadopor la escasez de los fondos queBush ha propuesto para laPatrulla Fronteriza.

Los legisladores también semostraron contrarios al plan degasto de Bush para el 2006, queentregaría 37 millones de dólarespara contratar a 210 agentesaduaneros. Sin embargo, unaley que firmó Bush el año pasadopedía la contratación de 2.000agentes más en los próximoscinco años, lo que duplicaría lanómina patrullera.

El representante SolomonOrtiz, de Texas, cuyo distritocolinda con la fronteramexicana, dijo que “la fuerza dela Patrulla Fronteriza se estádebilitando”, ya que 24 agentesque solían patrullar la fronterafueron destinados a Irak.

Salvador Zamora, portavozde la Oficina de Protección yAduanas, dijo no saber cuántosagentes habían sido enviados alpaís árabe.

Ortiz, por otra parte, dijo queel número de inmigrantesilegales no mexicanos estabaincrementado. Casi 40.000 deestos inmigrantes fueronliberados el año pasado en elpaís y eran provenientes de 135países.• Abogan por Tribunal delPacto y control deinmigración en nuevo ELAPor JOSÉ FERN DANDEZCOL DON

PONCE (AP): La versión noterritorial y no colonial de unfuturo Estado Libre Asociado

(ELA) debe incluir un tribunalde pacto para sacar del TribunalFederal las interpretacionessobre el status político, el con-trol de la inmigración para lasautoridades puertorriqueñas, yel libre mercado con los paísesdel orbe.

Así opinó el sábado el expresidente cameral CarlosVizcarrondo en momentos enque la Rama Legislativa y laEjecutiva discuten proyectospara seleccionar un mecanismoque permita lidiar con elcentenario dilema del status.

“Una vez se tiene un pactoescrito con los derechos yresponsabilidades de cada socioen esa relación bilateral, tieneque haber una entidad jurídicaque pueda interpretar lasdisposiciones de ese pacto, porlo que en ese sentido visualizóse desarrolle un tribunal delpacto”, declaró en entrevistaradial (Católica Radio).

El representante popularindicó que el tribunal de pacto,integrado por puertorriqueñosy estadounidenses, interpretaríael convenio bilateral deasociación entre Puerto Rico yEstados Unidos, y no el Tribu-nal Federal que actualmentetiene jurisdicción en la Isla.

Dijo que no necesariamentela creación del nuevo tribunalsupondría la eliminación de laCorte Federal aquí.

“Con la creación yconstitución de este tribunaldel pacto que interprete lasdisposiciones del pacto, noestoy diciendo que tenga queerradicarse el Tribunal Federalque puede tener jurisdicciónsobre aspectos del derecho fed-eral aplicable a Puerto Rico”,expresó.

Contrario a lasexpresiones vertidas por elpresidente de su partido ygobernador, Aníbal AcevedoVilá, Vizcarrondo señaló queel control de la inmigracióndebe ser trasladado algobierno puertorriqueño.

Asimismo, insistió en quePuerto Rico también deberíatener derecho al libre mercadocon el resto de los países.

En un visita reciente a lacapital federal, Washington,D.C., Acevedo Vilá declaró quela inmigración debe permaneceren manos estadounidenses, yque el libre mercado debelimitarse al Caribe.

Durante las audienciaslegislativas sobre statuscelebradas esta semana,Acevedo Vilá rechazó definirsu opción de ELA“mejorado” y abogó por quelos puertorriqueños primeroseleccionen en consenso elmecanismo para resolver elstatus.

To the Editor of La Prensa,What a sad and sorry city I live in. Toledo! What a

bunch of disrespectful representatives our “fine city”has.

Here was a man, who for six years gave his time andabsolute devotion to our great museum ship, the WillisB. Boyer. I couldn’t be speaking of anyone except forEdward Goyette, Eddie to those who knew him.

Eddie made that ship what it is today; people whoknew him or worked with him knew exactly how muchhe loved that thankless job, because of his love for thewater and that ship. He would spend endless hours onthat ship and we all know how extremely little he waspaid for all of his efforts.

He made everyone who stepped foot on her (theBoyer) feel welcome and was always right at the bridgeto greet all on-comers at special events. You could feelthe excitement radiating from Eddie; he loved to showher off. He spent so many unpaid hours fixing this andfiddling with that. He put uncountable amounts of hisown personal money into that ship and was never reim-bursed for one dollar of it. She was his love and he treatedher with great respect and care.

In return, what does our city do for such a giving man?Absolutely NOTHING! How despicable! He was givenno health insurance due to the fact that he was consid-ered “seasonal” although he worked all hours all yeararound. (Our city’s way of ‘putting it’ to the little guy.)Now, when he was in great and desperate need, our finecity turned their backs and shut the door on EddieGoyette.

Sadly, Eddie Goyette passed away on February 27th,2005 his dear and newly widowed mother traveled fromFlorida to bring her precious son home in a box; how sadfor her. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain that mustbe in her heart. How can our city turn its back on a man,who has given so much to our city, and lays the entireburden at his mother’s feet?

I suggested a collection for Eddie, if nothing else.(Though he and his family deserve so much more.) I wasshocked and embarrassed to hear that his mother wasgiven a whopping $84.00 from a collection at our City’spark and recreation department. This is his reward for hisdedication to our city!

I, not alone, find this completely disgraceful. Whata slap it must be across his mother’s face. Is this trulywhat his comrades, his fellow parks and recreationaldepartment employees, feel his services were worth?

Our own mayor, who was supposed to make an ap-pearance at Eddie’s memorial service, did not show up.The wonderful people from the Willis B. Boyer were theonly representatives from our city who showed anyrespect for what Eddie Goyette has done for us all.

His mother must look at our city in total disgust andrightfully so. I am sure there are funds available to helpthis family. Eddie Goyette was a definite asset to our cityand a wonderful person with a smile for everyone and anoutgoing personality. I’ll be curious to see what hap-pens to our great museum ship without the loving handsof Eddie Goyette to take care of her.

Ashamed of my city,

SALT LAKE CITY (AP):Immigrant rights activists inUtah are angry over a new billthat will result in the issuanceof driving “privilege” cardsto undocumented immigrantsinstead of driver’s licenses,with some likening the mea-sure to the marking of Jewsduring the Holocaust.

At least one Latino activ-ist has said he’ll ask the hun-dreds of immigrant workerswho seek his counsel to evalu-ate their support of Gov. JonHuntsman, who is expectedto sign the measure onWednesday.

“I thought he would begood for the community,” saidLeo Bravo, director of the His-panic Center of Cache Valleyin northern Utah. “You re-member the time of the Jewsand Nazis? They were marked.I hope he doesn’t betray me.”

Hundreds of immigrantsquietly demonstrated at theCapitol as the Legislature wasdebating and passing SenateBill 227 over the past week. IfHuntsman signs it, the billwould take effect immediately,withholding regular licensesfrom undocumented foreign-ers and revoking the licensesalready held by at least 58,000immigrants on their birthday.

The bill had been set totake effect July 1, but law-makers rewrote the measure

to ensure the support of morethan two-thirds of the Houseand Senate. The bill’s spon-sor, Sen. Curtis Bramble, R-Provo, said quick passage andHuntman’s signing wouldstop a “run on the bank” asundocumented workers with-out licenses would rush to getone. He was hoping to deliverthe bill to Huntsman for hissignature late Wednesday.

The new driving privilegecard couldn’t be used as offi-cial identification to board aplane, open a bank account orobtain a license in anotherstate. It would have to be re-newed annually, and it wouldhave different fonts and col-ors than Utah’s regular blue-colored driver’s license—with bold letters reading,“FOR DRIVING PRIVI-LEGES ONLY—NOTVALID FOR IDENTIFICA-TION.”

Bramble told House Re-publicans on Tuesday thatthe measure—modeled afterlegislation passed in Tennes-see last year—closes a “por-tal” for illegal immigrants toacquire documents and thetrappings of citizenship.

It “solves all those prob-lems” of homeland security,Bramble said.

But it may create othersafety problems for law en-forcement, immigrant rightsactivists counter. For Bravo,who’s worked with immi-grants and undocumented

workers for 11 years, issuingdriver’s licenses can be a way ofteaching responsibility.

“When I talked with law en-forcement a while back, they saidtheir number one daily problemwith immigrants was hit-and-runaccidents,” Bravo said. “Well,now they’ll be afraid to stop andface law enforcement becausewe’ve marked them for discrimi-nation.”

Salt Lake immigration attor-ney Jesse Brar said an alarmistdread of facing law enforcementwill only add to public safetywoes.

“Driving is an essential partof life in America, and if they’rehere, they’re going to drive,”Brar said. “You couldn’t simplytell an undocumented workerthat ‘Food is illegal’ and expecthim to stop eating. Now they’lldrive without licenses and insur-ance if they have to. And that’smore cost to the taxpayers.”

Conservative immigrationreform groups, however, say tra-ditional driver’s licenses for un-documented immigrantsamounts to giving them parityunder the law—and that isn’tgood policy because it couldencourage them to break morelaws.

“These people have no rightto be here, so giving them privi-leges doesn’t make much sense,”said Ira Mehlman, spokesmanfor the Washington, D.C.-basedFederation for American Immi-gration Reform.

Mehlman said the Utah law

could be interpreted as a lib-eral measure when held upagainst laws in other coun-tries, such as Mexico, that donot grant privileges to un-documented workers.

“This ‘privilege’ card is ahalf-step to a driver’s license,and driver’s licenses makeillegal aliens virtually invis-ible to law enforcement. It’s astate-issued alias,” said RickOltman, FAIR’s western fieldcoordinator.

Tony Yapias, former di-rector of Utah’s Office of His-panic Affairs, said the re-stricted cards would make lifedifficult for undocumentedworkers willing to takeAmerican jobs at low wages.Yapias and other immigrantrights activists worry aboutpractical matters—like cash-ing paychecks without a formof identification.

But Sham Singh, a restau-rateur in Logan, said the mea-sure will do little to changethe way undocumentedworkers survive in Utah.

“Look, many of theseworkers don’t receive pay-checks,” Singh said. “Theyare paid in cash, and that ishow they will continue to bepaid. This (measure) won’tchange much.”

Editor’s Note: The Utahbill makes no similar restric-tions for Canadians withCanadian driver’s licenses,which smacks of racism onthe part of Utah.

LEBANON, Tenn. (AP): ALatina, who was ordered by ajudge to learn English and usebirth control or risk losing cus-tody of her child, is receiving freelegal help and the aid of the South-ern Poverty Law Center, one ofthe nation’s leading civil rightorganizations.

Attorney Jerry González isrepresenting one of two Hispanicwomen known to have been or-dered to learn English by WilsonCounty Juvenile Court JudgeBarry Tatum. González con-firmed that Birmingham, Ala.-based SPLC has agreed to enterthe case on his client’s behalf.

Formed in the 1970s, the orga-nization monitors civil rightscases across the nation and isregarded as one of the leadingauthorities on hate group activi-ties in the United States.

“She now has three attorneysrepresenting her as well as theresources of a nationally recog-nized civil rights group behindher,” González said. “Not onlyare they experts in this field,they’ve also entered an applica-tion to pay for all costs. We will doeverything humanly possible toprotect her rights.”

González said the SPLC legalteam has been briefed on the caseand filed a formal motion seekingpermission to join the legal fight,which is required for out-of-stateattorneys.

An SPLC spokesman in Bir-mingham on Thursday confirmedthe organization has entered thelegal fray but referred questionsregarding specifics to the group’slegal director, who was not imme-diately available for comment.

González has vowed to fight

Tatum’s directive all the way tothe U.S. Supreme Court if neces-sary and also promised to attemptto seek state appeals court sanc-tions putting an end to such orders.

In January, Tatum drew at-tention after a custody hearingin which he made the orders ofthe woman.

Because juvenile court pro-ceedings are confidential, itsrecords are not open for publicinspection but González con-firmed he is representing aLatina who was placed under asimilar order by Tatum.

Tatum could not be reachedfor comment Thursday, but hasdefended his order in the Januarycase by saying he was trying toensure the 2-year-old’s future asa U.S.-American by ordering themother to learn English. Tatumexplained that he feared the childwould not receive all the oppor-tunities available as a U.S. citizenif not taught English.

He also acknowledged thebirth control order was practi-cally unenforceable and possi-bly unconstitutional, but saidhe issued it to emphasize thechoices available to the woman.

González said he believesthe case illustrates part of a pat-tern of cultural bias toward His-panics in juvenile court pro-ceedings, where he noted manycases can languish for months.

“As a group, immigrants arecertainly at a big disadvantagewhen it comes to court orders re-garding custody than a personwho has lived and worked in Leba-non their whole life,” he said.

LOS ANGELES (AP):“Al Otro Lado del Rio” (Onthe Other Side of the River),from “The Motorcycle Dia-ries” took best originalsong at the Oscars Sundaynight, marking the firsttime a Spanish song haswon the award.

Uruguayan singer andsongwriter Jorge Drexler es-chewed the traditional ac-ceptance speech and insteadsang two verses of his song.

“Thank you, gracias,ciao!” he said before leav-ing the stage.

The move was seen as asymbolic gesture to the Acad-emy of Motion Picture Artsand Sciences, which refusedto let Drexler perform the songhe wrote and sang for the film,opting instead for the highwattage of Antonio Banderasand Carlos Santana.

After the ceremony,Drexler told reporters in Span-ish that the selection of hissong was a sign of “the expan-sion that the Spanish languageis having in the world.”

He added, “above all, Ithink it is due to the magnifi-

Asked why he chose tosing instead of giving aspeech, Drexler responded,“I like to sing, it’s what I do,and if you want I’ll sing heretoo,” before again breakinginto song.

Drexler’s most recent al-bum, “Eco,” has been a hit inSouth America, México, andSpain. The album will be re-leased in the United Statesthis year, with additionalmaterial, including his Os-car-winning song.

SAN ANTONIO (AP):After driving for two days,Archbishop Jose H. Gómezarrived earlier this monthat his new home—a sec-ond-floor apartment at As-sumption Seminary whereretiring Archbishop PatrickFlores lived during morethan 25 years as spiritualleader of San Antonio’sRoman Catholics.

But if the 1,100-milejourney was arduous, it wasnothing compared to re-placing the first Mexican-American bishop.

“Flores is a legend.There’s no question aboutit,” said the Rev. DavidGarcía, rector of SanFernando Cathedral, achurch that dates to the1730s. “When the historyis written about the Latinosand Catholics in this coun-try, Flores’ name will be atthe very top. But that doesnot mean it’s an impossiblerole to fill for Gómez.”

With his formal instal-lation earlier this month,the 53-year-old Gómez be-came the nation’s firstLatino archbishop sinceFlores’ appointment in1979. Flores reached the

St. FrancisLASSOstudents helpun vecino

It was Presidents Day,and most St. Francis HighSchool (SFS) studentswere catching up on theirsleep. But three membersof the Latin American Stu-dent Support Organization(LASSO) and three cap-tains of the 2005-2006soccer team got up earlyon that day to do somegood.

Joel Castellanos, GabeDeHoyos, and MichaelMartínez from LASSO, andTom Rose, Jason Law, andBlaize Lishewski from thesoccer Knights assistedHoover Liddell, who ownsa tailor shop on Dorr Streetnear Parkside.

Mr. John Orozco,LASSO moderator andsoccer coach, is a friend ofMr. Liddell. He learnedthat a car had driven intothe store front, causing agreat deal of damage tothe building and its con-tents.

Orozco asked theKnights to help do theclean-up, and they spentmost of sábado morningtidying up. Mr. ChicoCastellanos (father ofJoel), Mr. MichaelMartínez, Sr., (father ofMichael), and Mr. ChipSmith (Gesu teacher andAssistant Soccer Coach)came with Orozco to assistin the project, which in-cluded removing parts ofthe broken store front andhundreds of items of cloth-ing from the building.

The SFS students tookthe clothing to the Salva-tion Army, and plan onsoliciting funds for a trustfund being collected bythe Toledo Urban CreditUnion to help make upfor Mr. Liddell’s lostwages. He told Mr.Orozco and the boys,“You couldn’t beat thishelp with a hammer.”

standard retirement age forbishops of 75 last summerand asked to step aside be-cause of health problems. Ittook the Vatican severalmonths to name his succes-sor.

Besides Gómez, the na-tion has about 25 Latino bish-ops, but only nine head dio-ceses. The rest serve as aux-iliary bishops: Gómez him-self was auxiliary bishop ofDenver. And before Floreswas named a San Antonioauxiliary bishop in 1970,people even questionedwhether a Latino could dothe job, García said.

“Flores opened doors andsometimes broke down doorsto allow other Hispanics tomove into positions of lead-ership,” García said. “Veryfew people seriously ques-tion today whether Hispan-ics can occupy those highpositions in business, edu-cation, government and thechurch.”

Flores left San Antonio in1978 when he was appointedbishop in El Paso. He re-turned a year later as arch-bishop.

In Latino circles, Flores is“just a giant,” said Catholicscholar Timothy Matovina,director of the University ofNotre Dame’s Cushwa Cen-

ter for the Study of Ameri-can Catholicism.

“His influence has gonefar beyond even just his owndiocese,” Matovina added,noting that Flores played aleading role in social causesimportant to Latino Catho-lics, from standing up formigrant farm workers tofounding the National His-panic Scholarship Fund.

But Flores’ tenure in SanAntonio, with about700,000 Catholics, wassometimes rocky.

His handling of clergysexual abuse cases drewcriticism from some vic-tims’ relatives. Floresapologized for not doingmore in the past to protectchildren against abuse fromclerics, but critics said hedid not show enough com-passion.

Others accused him of aliberal theology that failedto strictly adhere to officialliturgy and church doctrine.Gómez, on the other hand,is a member of the conser-vative Catholic organiza-tion Opus Dei, which PopeJohn Paul II admires. ButGómez said Flores has beenfaithful to the church andhe expects no theologicalshifts in the archdiocese.

“It’s a great challenge

for me because I cannot re-place him,” Gómez said.“But I know his style of lead-ership, so I’ll try to followhis example in that sense,because he’s been so effec-tive.”

Others said, though, thatGómez’s record of servingHispanic Catholics canstand on its own.

“Archbishop Gómez wasvery, very involved at thenational level even as apriest,” said AlejandroAguilera-Titus, associate di-rector of the U.S. Council ofCatholic Bishops’ Secre-tariat for Hispanic Affairs.

Before becoming abishop, Gómez served aspresident and executive di-rector of the National Asso-ciation of Hispanic Priests,where he worked to increaseHispanic representation inthe priesthood. About 7 per-cent of the nation’s priestsare Hispanic, compared withroughly 35 percent to 40 per-cent of parishioners, accord-ing to Aguilera-Titus.

Gómez helped establishthe Seminary of Our Lady ofGuadalupe in México Cityin 2000. The seminary edu-cates Hispanic seminarianswho will serve in the UnitedStates.

While in Denver, Gómezled the development of theCentro San Juan Diego forFamily and Pastoral Care,which Aguilera-Titus saidhas become a nationalmodel. The center mixesteaching of the Catholicfaith with social services andcitizenship classes.

“We’ve got hundreds ofpeople coming every day,”Gómez said. “It’s becominga center of Hispanic culturein Denver.”

Mexico, Gómez worked atSan Antonio’s Our Lady ofGrace Catholic Church from1987 to 1999. And his grand-parents were married at SanFernando Cathedral.

His admirers include Aland Angela Notzon, long-time Our Lady of Grace pa-rishioners who prayed thathe would return to the cityas archbishop. They praisenot only his spirituality buthis administrative andpeople skills.

“There’s a twinkle in hiseye,” Al Notzon said. “Youcan share a joke with himand he doesn’t mind laugh-ing at himself or others.”

Gómez showed that senseof humor as he recalled howhe started attending dailyMass as a high school stu-dent in Monterrey. A sign ofa future archbishop’s deepcommitment to the church?Perhaps. But it was also agood way to get the car keys.

“The only way that mydad let me drive was to go toMass,” Gómez said with achuckle.

LAS VEGAS (AP): Elmexicano José Luis Castillono hizo nada espectacular, peroresolvió todo a la perfección.

Desgastó a su compatriotaJulio Díaz con una presiónincesante, la noche del sábado,antes de derrotarlo en el décimoasalto, para retener el título delos ligeros por el ConsejoMundial de Boxeo (CMB).

Castillo peleó en su estilohabitual, y acechópacientemente a Díaz duranteel combate, antes de derribarloen dos ocasiones durante eldécimo episodio.

Díaz tenía una rodilla en elpiso, después de la segundacaída, cuando el referíReichard Steele le aplicó lacuenta de nueve y luegodeclaró el fin de lashostilidades.

Castillo defendió porsegunda vez el título que leganó a Juan Lazcano el añoanterior. Como en la mayoríade sus peleas, el campeónimpuso su férrea voluntad, ysimplemente se mostró comoel púgil más fuerte yexperimentado.

“Sólo hice lo que tenía quehacer, presionarlo y lanzar unmontón de golpes”, dijoCastillo. “No resentí realmenteninguno de los golpes que tiróél”.

Castillo, quien ganó por52da ocasión en su carreraprofesional, provocó un par decortadas sobre los párpados deDíaz, aparentemente conchoques de cabezas. El ojoizquierdo del retador estabacompletamente hinchadocuando concluyó lacontienda.

Díaz (30-3) renunció a sutítulo ligero por la FederaciónInternacional de Boxeo (FIB)para retar a Castillo, perocareció del poder suficientepara alzarse con el triunfo.

“Empecé a perder la vistadesde el cuarto round”, dijoDíaz. “Estoy muydecepcionado, pero no podíaver sus golpes”.

Castillo (52-6-1, con 46nocáuts) estaba adelante por88-83 en las tarjetas de los tresjueces, después del novenoasalto. Sin embargo, secercioró de que las anotacionesno tuvieran importancia en lapelea, al acabar con su rival enel décimo.

Díaz cayó por underechazo, a la mitad del round.Se levantó, pero tardó poco envisitar de nuevo la lona, poruna combinación de derecha-izquierda. Puso una rodilla enla lona, pero no hizo yaesfuerzos por levantarse.

Steele decretó el fin delenfrentamiento a los 2:27minutos del asalto.

TEGUCIGALPA (AP):Honduras, on March 3, be-came the second Latin Ameri-can country after El Salva-dor to ratify a free trade agree-ment with the United States.

“It was a decision thattook awhile in Congress, butit brings Honduras into theglobal economy,” congres-sional vice president EmilHawiit said after the vote.

The initiative was ap-proved by 100 of 128 legis-lators, its strongest supportcoming from the ruling Na-tional Party and the opposi-tion Liberal party.

Lawmakers immediatelyfled Congress following thevote, however, to avoid1,000 government employ-ees opposed to CAFTA whowere protesting in front ofthe building.

CAFTA opponents saythe deal will make Hondurasdependent on the UnitedStates and hurt producerswho will not be able to com-pete with U.S. manufacturersand farmers.

Guatemala’s congress an-nounced Wednesday that itwould delay a vote onCAFTA until next week toconsider similar argumentsfrom pact opponents there.

El Salvador ratified thepact in December despitewidespread opposition inthat nation as well.

• Thousands hit thestreets in Guatemala to pro-test CAFTA

GUATEMALA CITY(AP): About 8,000 protest-ers—most of them teach-

ers—demonstrated Tues-day in the capital against apending free-trade agree-ment between CentralAmerica and the UnitedStates. The protesters wanta public referendum heldbefore the GuatemalanCongress ratifies the Cen-tral American Free TradeAgreement (CAFTA)—anidea already ruled out byPresident Oscar Berger.

Along with the UnitedStates, countries that havesigned the free-trade agree-ment include Guatemala,El Salvador, Honduras,Nicaragua, Costa Rica andthe Dominican Republic.

“The congressmen aremaking unilateral and crazydecisions behind the Gua-temalan people’s back,”said teachers union leaderJoviel Acevedo.

CAFTA also faces diffi-culties in the United States.President Bush has said theaccord would open new mar-kets for the U.S. while en-couraging economic anddemocratic reforms in Cen-tral America, but he didn’thave the votes in 2004. Hemay not have support thisyear either because of com-petition fears among U.S.sugar and textile producers.

Guatemala’s Congressplans to take up the con-cessions law this week,while the legislature’s for-eign trade commission in-dicated that it could ap-prove CAFTA as early asThursday, the last step be-fore it goes to the full Con-gress for a vote.

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP):Gladys Marin, the combativeleader of the Chilean Commu-nist Party who became a sym-bol in the fight against thedictatorship of Gen. AugustoPinochet, died early Sunday,March 6, after a long fight withcancer. She was 63.

Marin died at her home inthe Santiago middle-class sub-urb of La Florida, saidGuillermo Tellier, the party’ssecretary-general.

“A few hours after fallinginto a coma, our loved com-rade and president of our partyhas died,” Tellier said.

Marin battled brain cancerfor a year-and-a-half, includ-ing surgery in Sweden and tworecovery periods in Cuba,where she was a personal guestof President Fidel Castro.

Marin was an implacablefoe of Pinochet’s 1973-90 dic-tatorship. She was one of theleaders of the first massive pro-tests against Pinochet in the1980s, often facing the policetear gas and water cannons inthe streets.

In 1998, she filed the firstsuit against Pinochet for hu-man rights violations duringhis regime, thus starting theformer dictator’s legal troubles,which include two indictmentsand house arrests.

The daughter of a peasant,Marin joined the party at age16—combining her politicalactivity with her work in Catho-lic groups in Talagante, a townjust southwest of Santiago.

She was elected to congressfor three consecutive termsbefore the 1973 CIA backed-coup in which Pinochettoppled Marxist President Sal-vador Allende, who ran forpresident four times before hewas elected by the populace.

Marin went into hiding toescape the repression of left-ists launched by the military,but on orders from the partyshe sought asylum at the Dutch

embassy and then traveled intoexile in Amsterdam.

While in the embassy, shesaw her husband, engineerJorge Muñoz, for the last time,as he walked slowly in front ofthe diplomatic building.Months later, Muñoz was ar-rested by Pinochet’s securityservice and never seen again—one of thousands that disap-peared. The couple had twochildren.

Marin remained an old-style party-member until theend and kept her party immuneto the changes implementedby other communists in thewake of the collapse of theSoviet block.

She never agreed to sup-port the center-left civiliangovernments that succeededPinochet in 1990.

“I can’t support these gov-ernments while there are stillhungry children in the streetsof my country,” she said once,urging “an end of the neoliberalsystem inherited from the dic-tatorship.”

Her dedication to her causegained her respect and praiseeven from some political ri-vals.

Msgr. Alfonso Baeza, aCatholic bishop who was akey figure in the defense ofhuman rights under Pinochet,called Marin “a great humanbeing, a political leader, awoman who battled firmly forjustice and peace and againstimpunity.”

Marin’s funeral was heldon Tuesday, the InternationalDay of Women.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP):Wanting a change in life,Mildred Fernández took anearly retirement from IBMand moved from Puerto Ricoto the Orlando area a dozenyears ago because of its cli-mate and closeness to familyand friends still on the island.

She wasn’t alone.During the 1990s, Florida

replaced New York as the topdestination for Puerto Ricanmigration on the mainland,according to a new study re-leased Thursday.

A combination of proxim-ity to the island, warmweather, Florida’s reputationas a retirement haven anddeclines in manufacturingjobs in New York caused thechange in migration patterns,according to the study byJorge Duany of the Univer-sity of Puerto Rico and FelixMatos-Rodriguez of HunterCollege. They released thestudy at a Hispanic Summitsponsored by the OrlandoRegional Chamber of Com-merce.

“Puerto Ricans are stillconcentrated in New YorkCity, but over the last fourdecades, the proportion ofPuerto Ricans living in NewYork has declined drasti-cally,” Duany said.

The proportion of main-land Puerto Ricans living inNew York declined from al-most 75 percent in 1960 toless than a third in 2000. About1.05 million Puerto Ricansnow live in New York State.

By contrast, the propor-tion of mainland PuertoRicans living in Florida hasgrown from more than 2 per-cent in 1960 to 14 percent in2000, giving the SunshineState the second-largest con-centration of Puerto Ricansin the U.S. mainland behindNew York. About 571,000Puerto Ricans now live inFlorida.

“Florida has weather verysimilar to Puerto Rico,” saidFernández, who is now anOrange County commis-sioner. “We’re also so close toPuerto Rico. That’s one of thebasic considerations. A lot ofpeople leave family back onthe island and they want easycommunications.”

In Florida, Puerto Ricanshave settled in three main ar-eas: the Orlando area (206,000people), Miami-Dade andBroward counties (155,000people) and the Tampa area(68,000). Orlando now has thefourth largest Puerto Ricanpopulation in the UnitedStates, trailing only NewYork, Philadelphia and Chi-cago.

Jim Carlson Otero’s par-ents settled in Orlando in 1984to get away from a crime waveon the island. They didn’t

want to settle in Miami andchose Orlando because it hadweather that was about as coldas they could tolerate. Sincethen about 40 relatives havefollowed from Puerto Rico.

“Family is a No. 1 reasonthat people move here,” saidOtero, a community outreachcoordinator for the city ofOrlando.

Puerto Ricans in centralFlorida tend to be less segre-gated from people of otherraces than their counterpartsin northeast cities, Duanysaid.

“They look very differentfrom the so-called ‘barrios’ inthe northern cities,” Duanysaid of Puerto Rican neigh-borhoods in central Florida.“These are primarily subur-ban housing, subdivisions.Many are able to buy goodhouses in quality neighbor-hoods.”

Despite the acclimation ofPuerto Rican to centralFlorida, they lag behind otherLatinos and non-Latinos inkey areas of income, educa-tion and the ability to speakEnglish well, according to thestudy.

“Puerto Ricans have a longways to go in terms of achiev-ing socio-economic equal-ity,” Duany said.

Ithink we’ve all been there; counting pennies just soyou can purchase gas, disconnection notices, beingasked by an officer, “Do you know how fast you weregoing?” when you’re speedometer wasn’tworking…you know the good stuff!

Now in other news, I have been getting emailsfrom many people spelling Mija incorrectly...well it isspelled correctly, but I am making a new law since I amrunning Mijalandia!

Lesson one: the wrong way – mija or mi’ja.The right way – Mija and for those that do not knowhow it is pronounced; we say it like this (ME-HA). It’sjust like screaming, YEE HAA!!, pero not too crazy.

Why am I doing this? Because just likeLatina is spelled with a capital letter, Mija means thesame thing to me…my name is just cooler! For example: “Aye, Mija, that papi chulo dances sowell!!” The other way: “Aye, Latina, that papi chulodances so well??” Point! Match! Game! I win!

We have to capitalize before we canmonopolize! So Mijas, please take this as a memo.End of lesson.

More live salsa eventsnow include Reggaeton,along with traditional salsa.This may or may not be anattractive addition for the“old time” salsa fan anddancer. For the promoter,however, it’s a great way todraw new people and theyounger generations to thesalsa venue! “Maintain the tradition” isan often heard term for pleasfrom old-time salsa andmambo artists and dancers tokeep the tradition of theirgenre alive. But, could theyever visualize that it wouldtake bringing a non-salsa/mambo genre under the sameroof to achieve that plea? Hip Hop has long beenthe choice of music for theyounger generation.Although the salsa craze isalive and well, it hasregrettably not paralleledthe worldwide mass appealin number of fans of othergenres, such as Hip Hop,Rap, Pop, Rock, Country &Western, Reggae, Jazz, oreven Oldies but Goodiesmusic. Most goals of salsapromoters have been to “sellthe youth to salsa.” With therapid popularity growth ofReggaeton this idea mayperhaps now become areality. Recent experiencesprove that if one announcescombined Salsa andReggaeton events underone roof, the youth willdefinitely show up!

But, what is Reggaeton?Like Hip Hop music,

Reggaeton primarilyapplies to youths. The sameissues and lyrics which havemade Hip Hop so popularcan be heard in Reggaetonmusic: Unfairness, love,passion, cheating,misunderstandings, sex,drugs, crime, violence, andracism make up parts of themenu of song subjects.Reggaeton has also becomea popular music to dance to. The name Reggaeton isadopted from the popularJamaican Reggae music.The dance beat of Reggaehas influenced theReaggaeton’s dance beat.The basic rhythms ofReggae have been carriedinto the Reggaeton style. Back in time, largeamounts of immigrants fromJamaica had settled inPanama to help build andmaintain the Panama Canal.The Jamaicans brought theirpopular Reggae musicalong. In the mid-1970s thefirst Panama producedReggae recordings followed. Soon, Panamanian artistsbegan to perform Rap music,based on the newimmigrants’ Reggae andJamaican dance-hall Rapmusic. In the 1990s the Reggaecraze hit Puerto Rico bigtime. Rap music was alreadywell established on theisland, as among the rest ofthe youth world. PuertoRican Hip Hopsters soonbegan creating music,incorporating the hotingredients with a mixtureof Hip Hop and Reggae, and

their own traditional bomba,plena, and salsa. The Reggaeton dancing’sstyle is often referred to as“perreo”, which means“doggie.” The word stemsfrom a Reggaeton dancemove, which expresses acarnal position. From its origin in Panamato its further development,creation and explosivepopularity in Puerto Rico,Reggaeton soon traveledacross borders, to Columbiaand other Latin countries.From there, the popularityhas reached new heights inthe United States and otherparts of the world. Several Reggaeton artistshave since emerged andquickly become thesuperstars of the genre,including Tego Calderon,Don Omar, and Puerto RicanIvy Queen.

Reggaeton, for the hip-hopLatina!By Ylda Nuñez

Whether the Reggaeton +Salsa concept keeps up itspromising possibilities ofdrawing youth to salsaremains to be seen. If the marriage continues,as a love-at-first-sightphenomenon, and if theseven-year itch doesn’tdestroy the marriage, then,maybe it’s a marriage for thelong term.
