C H A T T A N O O G A ,Tenn. (AP): Federal pros-ecutors told jurors Wednes-day that “corporate greed”motivated Tyson Foods Inc.to hire illegal immigrants atits poultry processingplants and high-ranking ex-ecutives did nothing to stopit.
Assistant U.S. AttorneyJohn MacCoon began lay-ing out the government’scase in his opening state-ment, saying prosecutorswill clearly show thenation’s largest meat com-pany conspired from 1992to 2001 to hire illegal im-migrants from México andCentral America.
Tyson sought these em-ployees “who would workfor low wages and nevercomplain—no matter howmuch they were ex-ploited—because they wereillegal aliens,” MacCoonsaid.
Some Tyson executivesencouraged the practice be-cause it allowed the com-pany to pad its bottom line,the prosecutor claimed.
At plants in Shelbyville,Tenn., and Wilkesboro, N.C.,illegal workers outnumberedlegitimate employees onpoultry processing lines,MacCoon said.
Tyson, which was topresent its opening state-ments after MacCoon con-cluded, has denied the gov-ernment charges and rejectedefforts to settle the case. Thetrial is expected to last up totwo months. The jury wasseated last Tuesday.
Springdale, Ark.-basedTyson, two executives on ad-ministrative leave and aformer manager are accusedof a conspiracy that smuggledillegal immigrants fromMexico, Guatemala and Hon-duras to work at processingplants in 10 states.
Two other former Tysonmanagers have made plea-bargain deals with prosecu-tors and will likely testify.
A December 2001 indict-ment accuses the companyand other defendants of tak-ing part in a conspiracy inwhich illegal workers weresmuggled to poultry plants
in Tennessee, North Caro-lina, Virginia, Indiana, Mis-souri and Arkansas.
The indictment says il-legal workers also werehired through temporaryemployment agencies towork at Tyson plants inTennessee, Alabama, Texas,Indiana, Mississippi, Vir-ginia, Kentucky, NorthCarolina and Missouri.
Tyson attorneys havesaid they turned down agovernment demand for$100 million to have thecharges dropped. The attor-neys have accused the gov-ernment of using under-cover agents to entrapTyson employees.
Besides the company,other defendants are GeraldLankford, 63, of NorthWilkesboro, N.C., a formerhuman relations manager;Robert Hash, 49, of Green-wood, Ark.; and KeithSnyder, 42, of Bella Vista,Ark. Hash and Snyder areTyson executives on ad-ministrative leave.
THE HAGUE, Nether-lands (AP): The United Statesmust temporarily stay the ex-ecution of three Mexican citi-zens on death row in Texasand Oklahoma, the WorldCourt ruled Wednesday.
In a unanimous decision,the 15-judge panel said thatthe delay was needed whilethe U.N. court investigates infull whether the men—and48 other Mexicans on deathrow in U.S. prisons—weregiven their right to legal helpfrom the Mexican govern-ment.
The World Court, offi-cially known as the Interna-tional Court of Justice, is theU.N.’s court for resolving dis-putes between nations. It hasno power to enforce its deci-sions, and the United Stateshas disregarded them in thepast.
It is the third World Courtcase in five years against theUnited States dealing withthe death penalty. In a nearlyidentical high-profile case in2001 it found that the UnitedStates had violated interna-tional law by not informinga German citizen of his rightto consular assistance.
Walter LaGrand was ex-ecuted in Arizona despite anorder to postpone his pun-ishment until it had heardGermany’s case.
Reading the rulingWednesday, presiding JudgeGilbert Guillaume said thecourt supported México’s ar-gument that executing themen would cause “irrepa-rable” damage to their rightsif the court later finds inMéxico’s favor.
“The United States shalltake all measures necessaryto ensure that (the men) arenot executed pending final
judgment in these proceed-ings” he said.
U.S. ambassador to theNetherlands Clifford Sobelsaid the Justice Departmentwas “studying the decisio” andwould comment as soon aspossible.
“It’s important to note thatthis is not a ruling on the mer-its of the case,” he said.
It would be “premature” tosay whether the United Stateswill abide by the decision,Sobel said.
Sandra Babcock, a lawyerfor México, said she expectsthe United States to complybecause “these types of ordersare binding on the UnitedStates.” By ignoring the deci-sion, she said, the United Stateswould send the impression thatit “didn’t care about the rule oflaw.”
“Americans travelingabroad are more vulnerablethan ever at this point in time,and if the United States disre-gards the order of the world’shighest court on an issue thatdirectly affects Americansabroad (consular assistance), Ithink that sets a very danger-ous precedent.”
Court spokeswomanLaurence Blairon said thecourt could in theory com-plain to the U.N. security coun-cil, which can impose sanc-tions, if the ruling is notobeyed.
México’s Ambassador tothe Netherlands SantiagoOnate said the decision was “aconfirmation of internationallaw.”
The men whose executionshave temporarily been barredare Cesar Fierro, RobertoRamos and Osvaldo TorresAguilera. Fiero and Ramoshave exhausted their U.S. ap-peals and their dates of execu-tion are to be scheduled soon.
Oklahoma Assistant Attor-
ney General Jennifer Millersaid the ruling will have noeffect on Aguilera. She saidthat Aguilera is not close toexecution because his fed-eral appeals are not final.Fierro and Ramos are impris-oned in Texas, and Aguilerais in Oklahoma.
Of the three convictedmen, Fierro’s case is the best-known. He was 22 years oldwhen he was convicted ofthe Feb. 27, 1979 shootingdeath of an El Paso taxi driver,Nicolas Castanon. Despite aruling in a Texas appealscourt that his confession wasprobably coerced, he was notgranted a retrial.
Ramos, 48, was sentencedto death for the Feb. 7, 1992killing of his wife Leticiaand his two youngest chil-dren, Abigail, 7, andJonathan, 3, with a hammer.
Aguilera was convictedfor the July 12, 1993,slayings of Francisco Mo-rales and Maria Yanez dur-ing a burglary in OklahomaCity.
México, which opposesthe death penalty, filed itssuit against the United Stateslast month. While it askedthe court to stay the execu-tion of all 51 Mexicans ondeath row, the court said astay was needed for only thethree most urgent cases fornow.
When the suit was filedlast month, the United Statesargued that grantingMéxico’s request for a stayof all executions would bean unwarranted intrusion onthe U.S. criminal justice sys-tem and U.S. sovereignty.
The Mexicans on deathrow in the United States areimprisoned in California,Texas, Arizona, Arkansas,Florida, Nevada, Ohio, Okla-homa and Oregon.

LOS ANGELES (AP):“Kingpin,” a new TV dramaabout a drug cartel run by aMexican family, was criti-cized by a civil rights groupas a slap against Latinos thatwill reinforce prejudices.
The League of UnitedLatin American Citizens saidMonday it was “very disap-pointed with NBC’s deci-sion” to air the series, whichpremiered Sunday.
“Kingpin,” which por-trays Latinos as drug dealers,murderers and unpatrioticAmerican citizens, opens thedoor to more negative feel-ings toward Latinos in ourcommunity,” the group said
in a statement.The network had no imme-
diate comment, a spokeswomansaid Monday.
Measured concerns about“Kingpin” were voiced by LisaNaverrete of the National Coun-cil of La Raza, another civilrights organization.
“I’m not comfortable withmaking a final judgment on theshow after seeing just one epi-sode,” Naverrete said Monday.
While lauding the employ-ment opportunity “Kingpin”offers for Latino actors and writ-ers, she questioned why the onlyLatino-themed drama on net-work TV should be about whatshe called the “cliché” of drugdealers.
“There are no balancingimages” showing Latinos inanother light, Naverrete said.
“If it was one of several showson TV about Latinos, Iwouldn’t have such con-cerns.”
The heavily promoted“Kingpin” focuses onMiguel Cadena (YanceyArias), a Stanford-educatedMexican angling to headhis extended family’s drug-trafficking operation whilegrappling with guilt overhis criminal activities.
A Spanish-dubbed ver-sion of the series will air onNBC-owned Telemundo inMarch, while a racier edi-tion is planned for the Bravocable channel, also ownedby NBC.
Latino civil rights group criticizes new NBCtelevision seriesBy LYNN ELBERAP Television Writer Last Thursday, the Mexi-
can Consul from Detroit, An-tonio Meza Estrada, visitedToledo, along with one ofhis assistants, Oscar A. de laTorre.
Meza Estrada met withToledo Mayor Jack Ford at10:00 a.m., along with vari-ous Latino community lead-ers including Toledo CityCouncil president LouisEscobar and Toledo His-panic/Latino Commission-ers Hernan Vasquez,Margarita DeLeón,Baldemar Velasquez, andTheresa Regaldo. Also inattendance were Arturo M.Quintero, Toledo commis-sioner of special projects,and representatives of areaLatino newspapers.
The purpose of his visitwas to send greetings to themayor from Mexican presi-dent, Vicente Fox, to invitethe mayor to visit México,and to discuss issues of con-cern that affected both coun-tries and Mexican nationalsthat lived in the Toledo area,including education andthe recognition of thematricula consular, theMexican ID card.
Meza Estrada told MayorFord, “We are concerned
Consul Meza Estrada makes sojourn toToledoBy Rico de La Prensa
that our Mexican students liv-ing in the United States receivethe proper education as to Mexi-can history and other skills. Weare concerned about theirachievements. For this reasonevery summer we have teachersfrom México come to this re-gion with books and materialsto instruct our citizens so thatthey can receive an equivalentof a GED from México.”
“Last year, for example, 12teachers visited the Detroit andLansing areas and instructedour students. Yes, education hasto be one of our country’s toppriorities.”
Mayor Ford told MezaEstrada, “We share these con-cerns and, likewise, place edu-cation as a top priority in myadministration.”
Commissioner Velasquezadvised Meza Estrada that To-ledo was one of the first cities inthe United States to recognizethe use of the matricula consu-lar.
“The ID card has been highlysuccessful in this area and iscurrently being accepted assufficient identification for theestablishment of banking ac-counts at Fifth Third bank. Thismakes it easier for Mexicanmigrant immigrants to functionand not be victimized,”Velasquez said.
Meza Estrada also expressedinterest in meeting with the To-
ledo police chief to explainthe matricula consular andhow it can be used to recog-nized Mexican nationals.
Councilman Escobar toldMeza Estrada that Toledo wasattempting to establish a sis-ter city relationship withTampico, México and that 50citizens would be needed tohelp form this overdue rela-tionship.
After the meeting withFord, the consul visited thedowntown offices of LaPrensa newspaper for a re-ception and further discus-sions on the issues he dis-cussed at the mayor’s office.Meza Estrada stressed the needfor strong ties between thecities of Toledo, Detroit, andMéxico, realizing that therewere significant populationsof Mexican nationals in To-ledo and Detroit.
At 1:30 p.m., Consul MezaEstrada was the guest speakerat the University of Toledo’sstudent union where he metwith Dr. William Bishoff, viceprovost of undergraduate andgraduate education; Dr.Tyrone Bledsoe, vice presi-dent for student affairs; nu-merous Latino students in-cluding Lucas Garcia, LenaGonzalez, Anthony Perry,Mike Ruiz, and Jinan Shabat,and others from the UT ad-ministration.

comenzaron el jueves undiálogo encaminado adesarrollar una nueva políticaagrícola para el campo.
«No hay nación fuerte conun campo debilitado», dijo elsecretario de Gobernación,Santiago Creel, al instalar ladenominada ComisiónOrganizadora del Diálogo poruna Política de Estado para elCampo.
Ante representantescampesinos, Creel ofreció anombre del gobiernomexicano honestidad y ánimopara escuchar y atender todaslas demandas agrícolas.
Víctor Suárez, vocero delgrupo «El Campo No Aguantamás», dijo que el movimiento
campesino mexicano llega aldiálogo «con un ánimo muypositivo y satisfecho de que elgobierno federal reaccionó yrectificó los errores de díaspasados de imponer unproceso unilateral yautoritario».
La reunión, en la queparticiparon tambiéngobernadores y legisladoresfederales, tuvo lugar tras variassemanas de movilizaciones yprotestas de los campesinosque demandan una mejoratención del gobierno alcampo y la revisión del Tratadode Libre Comercio de Américadel Norte (TLCAN).
Durante una gira por el
estado norteño de NuevoLeón, el presidente VicenteFox pidió el jueves a loscampesinos del país nodetenerse únicamente en larevisión del TLCAN, sino enproponer mejoras generalespara el campo.
«Ponernos a hablar nada másdel Tratado de Libre Comerciofrancamente es perder la granoportunidad que tenemos dever una solución de fondo parael campo», dijo Fox.

A quinceañera is a grandcelebration of a Latina’s fif-teenth birthday. In Spanish,“quince” means “fifteen” and“añera” is derived from “año,”which means “year.”
This occasion is as impor-tant as a wedding—the debu-tante selects her girlfriends,accompanied by male es-corts, and all are dressed tothe max!
The quinceañera is basedupon the ancient rite thatteaches Latinas to be virtu-ous and care for the poor andhandicapped. It is also a reli-gious rite.
Some churches haveguidelines for these festivi-ties that include a period ofreligious instruction andcommunity involvement. Amass of prayer and thanks-giving is offered.
The parents thank God forbringing their daughter intotheir lives and the Latina andher parents thank Him for Hisgenerosity in letting the Latinareach her fifteenth birthday.
Like weddings, mass isusually performed in the af-ternoon, with a gala recep-tion and dance in the evening,which includes: band, food,cakes, decorations, photo-graphs, videos, flowers, limos,
and regalos galor.Quinceañeras are also cel-
ebrations of womanhood.Traditionally, the event wasused by the family to an-nounce that the Latina waseligible for dating.
The elements in such acelebration vary from cultureto culture, but the main com-ponents include: an honorescort for the Latina (unchambelán, escorte, or galán),padrinos and madrinas (spon-sors who contribute to thefinancing of the event), a re-ligious celebration (a mass,church service, or specialblessing), a reception, thechoreography, the toast(brindis), the thank-you, thedinner, and the dance.
It is recommended thatquinceañera preparation be-gin at least one year in ad-vance—there are banquethalls to lease, bands to hire,invitations to order, dress-wear to select, and so forth.
A good book to read sum-marizing this event and itspreparation is MicheleSalcedo’s “Quinceañera!”published by Henry Holt andCompany, 1997. There arealso dozens of quinceañerasites on the internet. A con-sultant may also be hired.

ARIES: (March 21-April 20)Change is in the air. Allow old habits and emotions to be
swept away and you’ll be surprised how fast new andexciting situations will materialize. Chances are that you’vebeen trying to work at things alone, stop and get feedbackfrom others.
TAURUS: (April 21 - May 21)During the week your physical energy will abound. Use
this newfound energy well and include others in the activi-ties, possibly children. Tie up any loose ends and expectsomething in the workplace to come to a head. You have alot to share with those around you.
GEMINI: (May 22 - June 21)There is someone close to you in desperate need of
financial help. Look around you closely; this individualmay not be obvious. Feelings of passion will follow youduring the week. Direct this fiery energy in a positive way.It is a good time to express yourself romantically.
CANCER: (June 22 - July 23)Try to maintain your sunny spirit in the face of seemingly
depressing circumstances. Do what you can and try to stopworrying. You can do much to change the situations youfind yourself in. Do your best to act fairly, for money mattersare coming to a head.
LEO: (July 24- August 23)An existing relationship will flourish if you trust the
other person completely. There is a real possibility for a newand intense love. Your spark of enthusiasm brings out thebest in those around you. This opportunity could pave theway to more responsibility.
VIRGO: (August 24 - September 23)You are doing well in your career choice, but know you
could be doing better if given the chance. That opportunityfor advancement is right around the corner. Be sure you canmake good on your promises. There is an introspectivefriend who needs your emotional support this week.
LIBRA: (September 24 - October 23)Turmoil seems to be everywhere this week. Just remem-
ber that a great deal of criticism can be delivered effectivelywith a smile. It will make more sense to keep people on yourside if you can channel your rage in a more direct way. Joycould be just as habit forming as pessimism is.
SCORPIO: (October 24 - November 22)You may have the opportunity to invest in a creative
enterprise with unexpected money coming from a familymember who is looking out for your best interests. If arelationship is starting to feel a little stagnant, try to findways to increase vitality, or get out.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 - December 21)It’s time to take a lead from an ambitious acquaintance,
and take your shot at fame and fortune. Your love life maybe a bit rocky this week, so try to accentuate the positive. It’stime to sew up any loose ends, leaving no stone unturned asyou finish up.
CAPRICORN: (December 22 - January 20)Changes do not come easy, but those that may occur in
your personal life will probably be more accepted than most.Quiet time with family will give you the opportunity tocatch up with others’ lives. When you put your mind to it,you can accomplish just what you want.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 - February 19)You seem to have a choice of paths to take. Make sure that
you are not achieving success at the cost of others. Suchambition will no doubt reap rewards you may not wish for.It feels as if you are running around in circles; everythingdoes not have to be done by the book.
PISCES: (February 20 - March 20)If you are getting too attached, you are only setting
yourself up for disappointment. Live in the here and now,tomorrow will take care of itself. Much of what you havebeen striving for is within your grasp, but you may have tocount on others to help you reach that goal.
IF THIS WEEK IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You are wear-ing your feelings on your sleeve, and it’s time you realizethat you may not be as tough as you think. Withdrawingemotionally may help you figure out just where you are andwhere you belong. Romantic endeavors may prove moretrouble than they are worth right now.
Love is a fruit in season,at all times and within reach of every hand!Spread love everywhere you go;first of all, in your own housegive love to your children,to your husband or wife,to a next-door neighbor.Let no one ever come to youwithout leaving happier.Be the living expression of God’sKindness—kindness in your face,Kindness in your eyes,Kindness in your smile,Kindness in your warm greeting!—Mother Teresa
Querida Maria,Roses are red, violets are blue,sugar is sweet, and so are you.But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead,the sugar bowl’s empty,and so is your head.—Pablo
Mamichula,Tengo mucho amor por ti.—Papichulo
Amorcita,Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;this describes everything you are not!—Tomás
Marcos,I love you very much. I am always there for you.Con amor,Linda
Antonio,I want to feel your sweet embraceBut don’t take that paper bag off of your face.—You know who!
Pedro,You are my sweetheart and Valentine. Be mine!Besos,Carmen

Welcome to Quality Hispanic TV Programming
East Toledo Wrestling Club Assistant Coach Hector Ramirez with Tony Guerra
East Toledo Club Wrestlers Mario Guillen and Jesse Castilleja
What do five-year-oldMario Guillen and 18-year-old Antonio Guerra have incommon?
Easy. They are both wres-tlers, they are both winners,and they are both products ofthe East Toledo WrestlingClub.
Twelve years ago, Guerrabegan his wrestling career asa member of the East ToledoWrestling Club in the club’sfirst year of operation. LastSaturday, Guerra, now a se-nior at Waite High School,summoned the skill and tech-nique he has accumulated inall those years and capturedhis fourth City League wres-tling title.
The 140-pound Guerra,ranked fourth in the state inhis division, defeated sev-enth-ranked Brad Marzec ofSt. Francis 5-2 in theevening’s marquee match atRogers High School. Guerra,who also won two city titlesin junior high, was named thetournament’s most outstand-ing wrestler.
After the victory, and afterbecoming only the third wres-tler in league history to winfour championships, Guerraheaded for the stands to ac-cept the congratulations ofhis fans and extended family,many of whom are East To-ledo Wrestling Club coachesand managers.
But Guerra was not theonly reason for the presenceat the tournament of virtuallyall of the club’s coaches. Infact, Guerra was one of only11 finalists that evening whohad been with East Toledo,the pre-eminent wrestlingclub for youngsters in Ohio,
and probably in the entireMichigan-Ohio-Indiana area.
In the 103-pound division,East Toledo alumni KyleHolliday of Waite and RicoAndaverde of Central Catho-lic (whose father is one of theEast Toledo coaches), squaredoff with Holliday taking a 13-1 decision.
James Shuller and JoshSneyd, also East Toledo al-ums, battled for the 112-poundtitle with Shuller of Centralpinning Sneyd of Waite in3:15. Alex Abitua of Start(whose father is also one of theEast Toledo coaches), JoeReams of Central, JamieCummings and AntonioRamirez, both of Waite, allwon titles at 119, 125, 130 and135 pounds respectively.
In another clash of alumni,Josh Johnson of Waite pinnedMatt Brubaker of Start at 171pounds in 15 seconds. Eighttitles and three second-placefinishes for the ex-East ToledoWrestling Club grapplers. And,Rogers’ Wade Morris, prob-ably the best of all, ranked sec-ond in the state in the 189division, could not participatein the City League tournamentbecause of an injured shoulder.
Little Mario Guillen has abit of a distance to cover tocatch up to Guerra. First, hehas to age a bit, then he has toput on a few pounds. At 37pounds, the five-year-oldbundle of energy is compet-ing with 43 pounders … andwinning. Guillen has lost onlyone match in this his first yearwith the club.
The East Toledo team hascompeted in three tournamentsso far this year, winning allthree handily. Two weekendsago the team went to SanduskySt. Mary’s and won that meetwith a final tally of 230 pointsto the runner-up All-Ameri-
can score of 160.One of the heroes was Jesse
Castilleja (whose father isanother East Toledo coach).Castilleja won his 80-pounddivision for nine and 10-yearolds. Previously East Toledohad also won tournaments inGenoa and Liberty Center.This tradition of winning thathas become part of the fabricof the East Toledo WrestlingClub has been nurtured forthe past 12 years by a staff ofcoaches and managers whovolunteer huge chunks oftheir time to work with morethan 60 kids every year.
Gary Burgess, head coach,and assistants Hector and EarlRamirez, Don Burgess, RayCastilleja, Herman Abitua,Alex Quinones, Dan Hughes,Mark Beach, Jeff Bowman,Rene Andaverde, BarneyLanglois, Jeff Ludlow, andJerry Robinson, along withmanagers Tracy Garufos andTammy Lorton (Guerra’saunt) have been practicing,traveling, raising money,controlling parents’ egos anddemanding excellence fromtheir young charges both onand off the mat year in andyear out.
Most of the adults havebeen with the program for all12 years. And excellence iswhat they do get—both onand off the mat. The injuredWade Morris, for example, astudent/athlete of the firstrank, has been named an al-ternate nominee by Repre-sentative Marcy Kaptur to allthree service academies.
Eight titles, eleven final-ists, twelve outstandingyoung men, and a host ofdedicated adults providingan invaluable service to thecommunity. What a night itwas for the East Toledo Wres-tling Club.
