BUENOS AIRES, 29 XII16 (AP): A punto decumplirse dos años de lasospechosa muerte del fis-cal Alberto Nisman, queconmocionó a la Argen-tina, un tribunal argentinoresolvió el jueves que seinvestigue su denunciacontra la expresidentaCristina Fernández por elpresunto encubrimiento delos iraníes acusados delatentado contra un centrojudío de Buenos Aires en1994.
La Cámara Federal deCasación Penal , e lmáximo tribunal penal deArgentina, aceptó elpedido de la Delegaciónde Asociaciones IsraelitasArgentinas (DAIA) para queun juez reconsidere laacusación que hizoNisman el 14 de enero de2015 contra Fernández, sucanciller Héctor Timermany otros allegados a sugobierno (2007-2015).
El Centro deInformación Judicial (CIJ)publicó la resolución en laque los tres jueces de laSala I de la Cámaradecidieron por unanimidad“hacer lugar al recurso decasación de la pretensaquerellante Delegación deAsociaciones IsraelitasArgentinas (DAIA)... dejarsin efecto la desestimaciónde la denuncia” que habíanresuel to jueces deinstancias inferiores y “queun nuevo juez, mediantesorteo de rigor, continúecon el t rámite de lasactuaciones con laceler idad que el casoimpone”.
La exmandatar ia semanifestó a través de Twit-ter: “Ahora me acusan deencubrir el atentado de laAMIA ocurrido hace. 22años y medio! Lo únicoque les falta es acusarmede la muerte de Kennedy”,di jo en referencia alpresidente de EstadosUnidos asesinado en 1963.
Cuatro días después depresentar su denuncia y undía antes de declarar anteel Congreso sobre lainvestigación, Nisman fuehal lado muerto en suapartamento de BuenosAires de un disparo en lacabeza. Hasta ahora lajust icia no ha podidodeterminar si se suicidó ofue asesinado.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico,29 XII 16 (AP): Puerto Ricorecibió más de 2 millones dedólares en fondos federalespara combatir el virus delzika en comunidadesmontañosas en el interior dela isla, informaronfuncionarios de salud eljueves.
El dinero proveniente dela Administración deRecursos y Servicios deSalud de Estados Unidos seráusado para brindar serviciosmédicos e informar a la gentesobre el virus propagado pormosquitos, dijeron lasautoridades.
Puerto Rico ha registrado
casi 36.000 casos de zika,entre ellos 2.880 enembarazadas. Al menos 10bebés han nacido conm a l f o r m a c i o n e scongénitas relacionadas alzika y cinco personasinfectadas con el virus quese contagia por picadura demosquito han muerto.

El gobierno dijo que eluso de la vuvuzela, la cornetade plástico que se hizofamosa durante el Mundial

Foods will send 10,000pounds of food each monthto Catholic Charities of theArchdiocese of Newark,which will distribute thegoods to shelters in Essex,Hudson, Bergen, and Unioncounties.
The company has alsopledged a one-time donationof $10,000 to the archdio-
cese that will benefit HopeHouse in Jersey City andSt. Rocco’s Family Shelterin Newark.
Catholic Charities CEOJohn Westervelt says thefunds will pay for renova-tions to recreational spacesat the facilities as well asadditional food and cloth-ing for homeless families.
“Un país que quierellegar a la justicia es unpaís que debe investigar ysi habrá que desechar ladenuncia de Nisman, loaceptaremos. Pero lo queno podemos es desecharuna denuncia con tantopotencial política sin almenos ser investigado”,dijo a The Associated PressAriel Cohen Sabbanpresidente de la DAIA.
La denuncia dividió lasaguas entre f iscales yjueces, quienes en losúl t imos meses se hanpronunciado en distintasinstancias a favor y en con-tra de invest igar a laexmandatar ia porsupuestamente haberencabezado un plan paraproteger a exfuncionariosy ex diplomáticos iraníesacusados del ataque quedejó 85 muertos y cientosde heridos.
Nisman denunció que elmemorando deentendimiento firmado porArgentina e Irán en 2013con el alegado propósitode esclarecer el atentadoera una pantalla y fue lapresunta herramientaempleada por el gobiernode Fernández para protegera los iraníes.
La justicia luego declaróinconst i tucional dichoacuerdo, cuestionado porresignar la jurisdicción dela justicia argentina parajuzgar a los acusados delataque contra laAsociación MutualIsraelita Argentina (AMIA)en una comisióninternacional extrajudi-cial.
“La gravedad de lasimputaciones dirigidas alos entonces al tosfuncionarios de laRepública Argent inareclamaba -y aún lo hace-un examen acabado de loshechos sobre los cuales ladenuncia se asienta;máxime cuando allí seespecifica que el acuerdoespurio denunciado habríaestado inspirado en lasnecesidades energéticasrequeridas en el territorioen los últimos años y en elrestablecimiento de lasrelaciones comerciales conIrán”, escribió el juezGustavo Hornos, uno de losmiembros de Casación.
Irán ha negado siemprecualquier vinculación con
el atentado y se ha resistidoa entregar a los imputadosa la just ic ia del paíssudamericano para serinterrogados. Otrosinvolucrados en ladenuncia son el actualdiputado Andrés Larroquey los dirigentes socialesizquierdistas FernandoEsteche y Luis D’Elía.
Los abogados de losdenunciados consideraronque no debe abrirse unainvestigación por la faltade delito y la invalidez dealgunas pruebaspresentadas.
El pedido de investigarla denuncia de Nismanpresentado por la DAIA sebasó, entre otros elementos,en una llamada telefónicaentre el entonces cancillerTimerman y el dirigentejudío Guillermo Borger enla que el funcionario serefería a la responsabilidadde Irán en el atentado.
La jueza Ana MaríaFigueroa también avaló laapertura de la pesquisa,pero con algunasobjeciones: “ la tes isexpuesta por el FiscalNisman no luce razonable,ya que el dictado de unaley (por el Memorando) nopuede conllevar per se lacomisión de un del i to(pero) no han s idosuficientes las razonesexpuestas para sustentar ladesest imación de ladenuncia de los presuntoshechos ilícitos”.
Fernández ha sufrido enlos últimos meses el cercocada vez más estrecho de lajusticia. Está procesada porsupuestas maniobrasirregulares en el mercadode dólar a futuro, quecausaron un perjuicioeconómico al Estado y porpresunta asociación ilícitay adminis traciónfraudulenta en la concesiónde obras públicas.
La exmandatar iaatribuyó las acusaciones ala supuesta parcialidad dejueces que obedeceríanórdenes del presidenteMauricio Macri, quien lasucedió en el poder endiciembre de 2015.

Lt. Gov. Brian Calley
LIVONIA, Dec. 27, 2016(AP): When voters turneddown a $600,000 requestfrom Schoolcraft Collegein the fall of 2015 by a fewhundred votes, thingslooked bleak forSchoolcraft officials’ planto improve the school’sinfrastructure and moveforward on new buildingson campus.
Now the outlook ismuch more positive, thanksto creative partnershipsbetween the college andsome private organiza-tions. Schoolcraft is a pub-lic community college inLivonia, funded both bystudent tuition and prop-erty taxes.
“The question facing uswas, were we willing to giveup on all the projects thatneeded to be done,”Schoolcraft PresidentConway Jeffress told FreePress (http://on.freep.com/2iC1mPo ).
The answer? No.So a couple of major
projects were put back onthe table, including thebuilding of a $6 millionsports dome. The 110,500-square-foot sports domemeasures 260 feet wide by425 feet long and can beused year-round. There isalso a parking lot and out-door field.
The dome was built withUniversal Properties andManagement Inc., which
signed the bill Wednesday.It mandates the State
Board of Education to revisethe high school social stud-ies content standards by May2018 or the next update ofstate curriculum standards,whichever occurs first.
Schools currently mustprovide instruction in the
U.S. Constitution and theMichigan Constitution,and teach students theform and functions of thegovernments and citizens’rights and responsibilities.
Calley signed the legis-lation because Gov. RickSnyder is vacationing outof state.
owns 7 Mile Crossing, a com-mercial building locatedwithin the college’s campus.The Michigan Wolves-Hawks Soccer Club signed a25-year agreement to leasespace in the building.
So what’s in it forSchoolcraft’s approximately8,000 students? It’s a spacethat can be used for thecollege’s own sports. Also,the school’s renowned culi-nary program will staff a con-cession stand that will movepast the normal junk fooditems and be a place wherebusy parents can feed theirchildren in between schooland soccer practice whilegiving the Schoolcraft stu-dents a chance to learn andcook.
Schoolcraft also enteredinto an agreement to build amore than 90,000-square-foot MASCO World Head-quarters building on its prop-erty. Having MASCO on thecollege property will allowfor Schoolcraft students tomore easily do internships atthe company. Company em-ployees will also be able toattend Schoolcraft classes orclasses through Wayne StateUniversity, which has a sat-ellite campus onSchoolcraft’s grounds.
But buildings weren’t theonly new things to campus.Infrastructure, includingparking lots, a new road ring-ing the campus and a newtraffic light at an access road
from the campus to 7 Milewere also added in conjunc-tion with Universal Proper-ties and Management.
The roads are MikeWillis’ favorite part of theupgrade.
“It’s so much easier toget around,” said Willis, 25,who has taken classes atSchoolcraft for severalyears. “I think the dome iscool, but I don’t really useit, but I drive around cam-pus all the time and it’smuch better than it used tobe.”
The move to use privatedevelopers was Schoolcrafttaking advantage of what ithas.
“We have assets—landand location—developerswant,” Jeffress said. “I’mtrading off time right now.I’m willing to wait a littlebit for money, while devel-opers want it up front. Atsome point in the near fu-ture, (the college) will get adecent money flow. Noth-ing that was done is drain-ing money away from ouracademic program.”
The college has alsostarted new programs, in-cluding a beer-brewing de-gree.
“We are trying to makemoves that are consistentwith the mission of the col-lege,” Jeffress said.

to love in my life,” wroteniece Preciosa Rios. “I missthem and their laughs somuch. If you didn’t knowthese two people, then justknow they were worth everytear that fell today and theywill be worth every heart-ache and tear that has yet tofall.”
“Prayers to my nephewDave Sánchez as this is avery sad time.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 29,2016 (AP): Debbie Reynoldsembodied the sunshine ofpostwar-USA on the screenas she matched steps withGene Kelly in “Singin’ in theRain.”
Carrie Fisher brought thesarcasm and cynicism of theBaby Boomers to her mov-ies, books and stage shows,even when she was playing aprincess in “Star Wars.”
The mother and daugh-ter, separated by so manydifferences both personaland generational, are likelydrawn closer in the publicmemory after their deaths onsuccessive days.
Reynolds died onWednesday at age 84, just asshe and the rest of the worldwere starting to mourn herdaughter Carrie Fisher, whodied on Tuesday at 60, daysafter falling ill on a flight.
Even after a year of shock-ing and constant celebritydeaths, the one-two punch ofFisher and Reynolds broughta staggering finale to 2016.
Reynolds’ son ToddFisher said his sister’s deathwas “just too much” for hismother.
“She said, ‘I want to bewith Carrie,”’ Fisher told TheAssociated Press by phonefrom Cedars-Sinai MedicalCenter, where Reynolds hadjust died after being rushedthere earlier in the day. “Andthen she was gone.”
No cause of death has beenrevealed for either woman.
Both mother and daugh-ter enjoyed the heights ofshow business success andendured the depths of per-sonal troubles. Their rela-tionship for years ranged fromstrained to non-existent, atheme frequently exploredin Fisher’s writing, but late inlife they became allies andclose confidantes in theirstruggles.
Ms. Reynolds lost onehusband to Elizabeth Taylorand two other husbands plun-dered her for millions.
Ms. Fisher struggled fromearly in life with addictionand mental illness.
“There have been a fewtimes when I thought I wasgoing to lose Carrie,”Reynolds said when OprahWinfrey interviewed bothmother and daughter in 2011.“I’ve had to walk through alot of my tears. But she’sworth it.”
As Fisher tried to distanceherself from Reynolds, shebarely spoke to her motherfor nearly a decade.
“It’s very hard when yourchild doesn’t want to talk toyou and you want to talk tothem, and you want to touchthem, you want to holdthem,” Reynolds toldWinfrey. “It was a total es-trangement.”
Reaction to Reynolds’death was swift and emo-tional.
“Debbie Reynolds, a leg-end and my movie mom. Ican’t believe this happenedone day after Carrie,” AlbertBrooks, who played oppo-site Reynolds in “Mother,”said on Twitter.
“I can’t imagine what Car-rie Fisher and DebbieReynolds’ family are goingthrough this week. I send allof my love,” Ellen DeGeneres
LOS ANGELES, 29 XII16 (AP): Debbie Reynoldsera la encarnación deloptimismo estadounidensede la posguerra al bailar conGene Kelly en “Cantandobajo la lluvia”.
Carrie Fisher le puso elsarcasmo y el cinismo de losBaby Boomers a suspelículas, libros yespectáculos teatrales,incluso cuando interpretabaa una princesa en “StarWars”.
Madre e hija, separadaspor tantas diferenciaspersonales y generacionalesestarán proporcionalmenteligadas en la memoriapública tras sus muertesocurridas en días sucesivos.
Reynolds murió elmiércoles a los 84 años, justocuando ella y el resto delmundo lamentaba la muertede su hija, quien perdió lavida el martes a los 60 años,a pocos días de sentirse mala bordo de un vuelo.
Incluso después de unaño estremecedor deconstantes muertes defamosos, los golpesconsecutivos de Fisher yReynolds le dieron un finalimpresionante al 2016.
El hijo de Reynolds,Todd Fisher, dijo que lamuerte de su hermana fue“demasiado” para su madre.
“Dijo ‘quiero estar conCarrie”’, señaló Fisher a TheAssociated Press porteléfono desde el CentroMédico Cedars-Sinai,donde Reynolds murió trasser llevada de emergenciaen el día. “Y después murió”.
No se ha revelado la causade la muerte de ninguna.
Tanto la madre como lahija disfrutaron de las mielesdel éxito en el espectáculopero también sufrieron enlos abismos de losproblemas personales. A lolargo de los años su relaciónpasó de distante ainexistente, un tema queFisher solía abordar en suslibros, pero hacia el final desus vidas se volvieronaliadas y confidentes enmedio de sus problemas.
Reynolds perdió a suprimer esposo cuando éstela dejó por Elizabeth Tay-lor, sus otros dos maridosquitaron millones dedólares.
Desde temprana edad,Fisher tuvo problemas deadicción a las drogas y de
tweeted.Born Mary Frances
Reynolds, she spent the firsteight years of her life in De-pression-era poverty in ElPaso, Texas. Her father, a car-penter for the Southern Pa-cific Railroad, was transferredto California and the familysettled in Burbank, nearWarner Bros. studio.
The girl flourished, excel-ling as a Girl Scout and ath-lete, and playing French hornand bass viola in the BurbankYouth Symphony. Girlfriendspersuaded her to enter thebeauty contest for MissBurbank, and she won overthe judges.
She found superstardomquickly. After a handful ofminor roles, MGM studio bossLouis B. Mayer cast her in“Singin’ in the Rain,” despiteKelly’s objections.
But at 19 with little danceexperience, she managed tomatch Kelly and DonaldO’Connor, two of the screensmost masterful dancers, step-for-step.
“Gene Kelly was hard onme, but I think he had to be,”Reynolds, who more thanheld her own in the movie,said in a 1999 Associated Pressinterview. “I had to learn ev-erything in three to six months.Donald O’Connor had beendancing since he was threemonths old, Gene Kelly sincehe was 2 years old.”
After her transition fromstarlet to star, Reynolds be-came popular with teenagegirls and even more so when in1955 she married EddieFisher, the pop singer whosefans were equally devoted.
The couple made a movietogether, “Bundle of Joy,”which seemed to mirror the1956 birth of Carrie. The Fish-ers’ next child was Todd,named for Eddie’s close friendand Taylor’s husband, show-man Mike Todd.
During this period,Reynolds had a No. 1 hit onthe pop charts in 1957 with“Tammy,” the Oscar-nomi-nated song from her film“Tammy and the Bachelor.”But the Cinderella story endedafter Mike Todd died in a 1958airplane crash. Fisher con-soled the widow and soonannounced he was leaving hiswife and two children to marryTaylor.
The celebrity worldseemed to lose its mind. Tay-lor was assailed as a husbandstealer, Fisher as a deserter.Reynolds won sympathy asthe innocent victim. A coverheadline in Photoplay maga-zine in late 1958 blared: “Smil-ing through her tears, Debbiesays: I’m still very much inlove with Eddie.”
Fisher’s singing careernever recovered, butReynolds’ film career flour-ished.
The 1964 MeredithWillson musical “The Unsink-able Molly Brown,” withMolly’s defiant song “I Ain’tDown Yet,” brought Reynoldsher only Academy Awardnomination.
She also starred with GlennFord in “The Gazebo,” TonyCurtis in “The Rat Race,” FredAstaire in “The Pleasure ofHis Company,” Andy Griffithin “The Second Time Around,”with the all-star cast in “Howthe West Was Won” and
Ricardo Montalban in “TheSinging Nun.”
And she provided thevoice of Charlotte in the1973 animated “Charlotte’sWeb,” the same year she re-ceived a Tony nominationfor her starring role in theBroadway revival of“Irene,” in which her Fisheralso appeared.
But marital woes madelife outside entertainmentdifficult.
In 1960 Reynolds mar-ried shoe magnate HarryKarl. The marriage ended in1973 when she discoveredthat Karl, a compulsive gam-bler, had devastated her as-sets.
Reynolds’ third mar-riage, to Virginia business-man Richard Hamlett in1984, proved equally disas-trous. In 1992, againstfriends’ advice, she paid $10million to buy and convert afaded Las Vegas hotel intothe Debbie Reynolds Hoteland Casino, where she per-formed nightly.
Reynolds ended up fil-ing for bankruptcy in 1997and accusing Hamlett ofmaking off with her money.
“All of my husbands haverobbed me blind,” she saidin 1999.
In her later years,Reynolds continued per-forming her show, traveling40 weeks a year. She alsoappeared regularly on tele-vision, appearing as JohnGoodman’s mother on“Roseanne” and a mom on“Will & Grace.”
In 1996 she won criticalacclaim in the title role ofAlbert Brooks’ movie“Mother.” Reynolds andher daughter were featuredtogether in the HBO docu-mentary “Bright Lights,”scheduled for release in2017.
Eventually, she recon-ciled and teamed up withTaylor—long since di-vorced from Fisher—andtwo other veterans, JoanCollins and MacLaine, forthe 2001 TV movie “TheseOld Broads.” The script, co-written by Carrie Fisher, wasabout aging, feuding ac-tresses who get together fora reunion show. Reynoldswould look back wryly onthe Taylor affair, acknowl-edging that no man couldhave resisted Taylor, whodied in 2011.
Reynolds received anhonorary Oscar in 2015, theJean Hersholt HumanitarianAward, but was too ill toattend the ceremony. Hergranddaughter, actressBillie Lourd, accepted thestatuette in her honor.
Reynolds took solaceand strength in her last yearsfrom her renewed closenesswith her daughter.
“I would say that Carrieand I have finally found hap-piness,” Reynolds toldWinfrey in 2011. “I admireher strength and survival.”
AP entertainment re-porters Hillel Italie inNew York and Lynn Elber,Sandy Cohen and An-thony McCartney in LosAngeles contributed tothis report. The late Asso-ciated Press writer BobThomas contributed bio-graphical material.
salud mental.“Hubo varias
ocasiones en las quepensé que perdería aCarrie”, dijo Reynoldscuando Oprah Winfreylas entrevistó a las dos en2011. “He tenido quesuperar muchas tristezas,pero ella lo vale”.
Cuando Fisher lemarcó su distancia aReynolds, casi no habló conella por una década.
“Es muy difícil cuando tushijos no quieren hablarte y túquieres hablar con ellos, yquieres tocarlos, quieresabrazarlos”, dijo Reynolds aWinfrey. “Era undistanciamiento total”.
La reacción a la muerte deReynolds fue muy emotiva.
“Debbie Reynolds, unaleyenda y mi mamá en el cine.No puedo creer que esto hayaocurrido un día después deCarrie. Mi corazón está conBillie”, tuiteó el actor AlbertBrooks, quien dirigió y actuócon Reynolds en la película“Mother” de 1996.
“No me puedo imaginarcómo está pasando esta semanala familia de Carrie Fisher yDebbie Reynolds. Les mandotodo mi amor”, tuiteó lacomediante Ellen DeGeneres.
Reynolds, cuyo nombreverdadero era Mary Frances,pasó lo primeros ocho años desu vida en medio de la pobrezapor la Gran Depresión en ElPaso, Texas, donde nació el 1de abril de 1932. Su padre, uncarpintero del Southern PacificRailroad, fue transferido al surde California y su familia seestableció en Burbank, cercadel estudio Warner Bros.
La chica floreció en Cali-fornia, donde fue una Scoutexcelente, destacó en losdeportes y tocó el corno francésy la viola en la OrquestaSinfónica Juvenil de Burbank.Sus amigas la convencieronde que entrara al concurso debelleza de Miss Burbank y segranjeó a los jueces al hacer lapantomima de cantar alcompás de un disco de BettyHutton.
Se volvió una superestrellarápidamente. Tras algunospapeles menores, el jefe delestudio MGM Louis B. Mayerla eligió para “Cantando bajola lluvia” a pesar de lasobjeciones de Kelly.
A los 19 años y con pocaexperiencia de baile Reynoldslogró igualar a Kelly y DonaldO’Connor, dos de los mejores
bailarines del cine, paso porpaso.
“Gene Kelly fue duroconmigo, pero creo que teníaque serlo”, dijo Reynolds enuna entrevista con The Asso-ciated Press de 1999. “Tuveque aprender todo entre tresy seis meses. DonaldO’Connor había estadobailando desde que tenía tresmeses y Gene Kelly desdeque tenía dos años... Creoque Gene sabía que yo teníaque ser obligada asuperarme”.
Luego de su transición deestrella en ascenso a estrellaconsolidada, Reynolds sevolvió inmensamente popu-lar entre las adolescentes eincluso más cuando en 1955se casó con Eddie Fisher, elcantante pop cuyasadmiradoras eranigualmente devotas de él.
La pareja hizo unapelícula, “Bundle of Joy”,que parecía reflejar elnacimiento de su hija Carrieen 1956. Después tuvieron asu hijo Todd, nombrado asíen honor al amigo cercanode Eddie, el productor MikeTodd, esposo de Taylor.
Durante este periodoReynolds tuvo una melodíaque alcanzó el primer lugaren las listas de popularidad,“Tammy” de 1957, lacanción nominada al Oscarde su película “Tammy andthe Bachelor”. Pero suhistoria de cenicientaterminó cuando Mike Toddmurió en un accidente deaviación en 1958. Fisherconsoló a la viuda y al pocotiempo anunció que dejaba asu esposa y a sus dos hijospara casarse con Taylor.
El mundo de lascelebridades se escandalizó.Taylor fue criticada comouna robamaridos y Fishercomo un desertor de su fa-milia. Reynolds se ganósimpatías como la víctimainocente. Una portada de larevista Photoplay de finalesde 1958 afirmaba:

LOS ANGELES, 23 XII16 (AP): Denzel Washing-ton se siente muy bien eneste momento, está próximoa celebrar su cumpleaños 62y el Sindicato de Actores dela Pantalla acaba dereconocer su adaptación dela obra “Fences” de AugustWilson por el trabajo de todosu elenco.
La película ha recibidobuenas respuestas delpúblico en los pocos cinesdonde se ha presentado an-tes de su estreno en EstadosUnidos el día de Navidad
La alegría en torno a lapelícula es relativamentenueva, aunque Washingtonsabía que tenía buenasposibilidades. “Fences”, laobra de teatro escrita porWilson en 1983 sobre unafamilia afroestadounidenseen Pittsburgh de 1950, habíaganado el Premio Pulitzer ypremios Tony para el elencooriginal de Broadway, asícomo otros premios Tonypara Washington y ViolaDavis en su reposición de2010. Pero era la primeraadaptación al cine de la obray el tercer proyecto de Wash-ington detrás de cámara.
“Al comienzo de lapelícula había presión. Eracomo ‘todo eso funcionó,todo salió bien, íno lo echesa perder!”’, dijo Washing-ton. “Mi preocupación eraprimero August Wilson ydespués mis actores. Y elSindicato de Actores de laPantalla dijo ‘reconocemoseso’, así que me dio muchogusto. Me he relajado unpoco. Y íno hay nada que sepueda hacer al respecto detodas formas! La película lepertenece a la gente ahora”.
La pocas críticas que sehan hecho a la película, sobreTroy Maxson (Washington),su esposa Rose (Davis) y sufamilia, se han centrado enesa vieja idea de que cuandose lleva una obra de teatro ala gran pantalla el directordebe “abrirla” y disfrazar suesencia teatral. A Washing-ton le choca esto como críticaa su adaptación, y se altera alhablar de ello.

“Lo hice de esta manera apropósito porque August Wil-son es primero, no ‘íHey!íDenzel!”’, dijo Washington,al borde de su asiento. “Puedohacer todo eso, puedo hacerTODO eso. ¿Todo ese grandiscurso que hizo? Lo pudeponer en mí, lo pude hacer,íeso es fácil!”
Pero Washington eligiórepresentar el material de Wil-son de una manera más sutilpara formar la historia y lo quedenomina como la música delrápido fuego del diálogo. Enalgunos casos lo lleva másallá del patio trasero donde sedesarrolla la obra. Pero todasesas sugerencias, dice, estabanahí en el guion, escrito porWilson antes de morir en 2005.
“¿Podemos usar el bar?Veámoslo sacando la basura.Veamos el transcurso detiempo desde que anuncia unanoticia”, dijo Washington.“Una película es como unacasa con diferentes cuartos.Pero si exageras un cuartodemasiado no es agradable”.
Una de las decisiones másdifíciles que tomó durante lafilmación y la edición fueescoger a qué actores filmar ycuándo. Es algo que no senecesita decidir en una obrade teatro, donde todos puedenver todo lo que pasa. Enalgunos casos Washingtonamplió las escenas, en otras,corta para presentar otra per-sona en la cocina escuchandoalgo o se detiene en Davis porun momento en vez de cerrarla escena inmediatamente. Aveces va en sentido contrarioy aumenta el dinamismo delmomento.
Para imaginar las cosasmejor, Washington, recordóel consejo de Sidney Lumet ypreparó un ensayo de dossemanas. Rentó una iglesiagrande en Pittsburgh, marcóla escenografía usando cintaadhesiva en el piso y contratóactores suplentes para seguirel guion al pie de la letra. Estole permitiría a él y a su directorade fotografía, Charlotte BruusChristensen, caminar, ver lasacciones y descubrir cómohacer las tomas. Durante lafilmación no tendrían tiempo

para hacer eso. En cuanto alas actuaciones sabía que notenía nada de quépreocuparse.
“Nada supera laconfianza de haberlo hechoy de haber sido reconocidopor ello. A Viola Davis no sele va a olvidar de repente suactuación entre 2010 yahora”, dijo. “Así quecuando la banda se reunióde nuevo y comenzamos aleer el guion era como ‘íohsí!, todavía podemosactuar”’.
Para las decisionesrealmente difíciles, Wash-ington dijo que consultabael espíritu de Wilsonmientras dormía. Laintención de Wilson erasiempre lo más importante.
Washington tuvooportunidad de conocer aldramaturgo una vez, haceunos 13 años. Era un díalluvioso en Seattle y Wash-ington lo visitó en su casa.Su agente le dijo que Wil-son podía estar pensando enescribir algo para él.
“Charló sobre su procesoy cómo escribe ybásicamente decía ‘noescribo para nadie. Lospersonajes me dictan’. Fuedeslumbrante. Le pregunté‘¿Qué haces?’ y dijo ‘cierromi casa y escucho a la gentey ellos me dicen qué decir yyo lo escribo”’, recordóWashington. “Era unhombre encantador, nossentamos en su porche, nosabía que esa era la últimavez que lo iba a ver. ¿Quiénlo iba a saber?”.
En cuanto a “Fences”,aunque llevar la obra al cinedefinitivamente permitiráque tenga un público mayor,además de que existenposibilidades de que losmaestros le pidan a susalumnos que vayan a verla,Washington no cree que estosea lo último que se sabrá deella.
“Como Shakespeare,está abierta a lainterpretación”, dijo Wash-ington. “Esperen unos 25años, alguien querrá hacerun musical”.

Inmigrantes que estánsolicitando al servicio deinmigración (“USCIS”)para su residencia basadaen matrimonio conciudadanos americanos oresidentes permanenteslegales, tendrán que ir auna entrevista con unagente de USCIS comoparte delproceso. Básicamente, esla responsabilidad delsolicitante comprobar quesu matrimonio es de buenafe, que entró legalmenteen el país (si no esprotegido bajo la 245(i)),y que no tiene ningúnproblema criminal que lodeja inelegible para elajuste de estatus.
Si alguien tiene su citapara la residencia, meimagino que ya hanhablado con un abogadoy saben que técnicamenteson elegibles para laresidencia, pero todosigualmente tienen un pocode miedo para lase n t r e v i s t a s ,especialmente las parejasque no llevan muchotiempo juntas.
La verdad es que si nohay ninguna duda de partedel oficial que el matrimo-nio es de buena fe (y nohay ninguna otra cuestiónde ser elegible), la
entrevista puede ser de 15minutos. Pero, en otros casosdonde los oficiales no estánconvencidos de que el matri-monio sea verdadero, laentrevista puede ser más deuna hora y muy difícil.

SUPPLIERS OF MEXICAN FOOD PRODUCTS
We make our own corn tortillas but provide all of your Mexican Food Products.
Dec. 27, 2016: Newlywidowed, Kay McCowenquit her job, sold her house,applied for Social Securityand retired to Mexico. It wasa move she and her husband,Mel, had discussed beforehe passed away in 2012.
“I wanted to find a placewhere I could afford to liveoff my Social Security,” shesaid. “The weather here is soperfect, and it’s a beautifulplace.”
She is among a growingnumber of US-Americanswho are retiring outside theUnited States. The numbergrew 17 percent between2010 and 2015 and is ex-pected to increase over thenext 10 years as more babyboomers retire.
Just under 400,000 US-American retirees are nowliving abroad, according tothe Social Security Admin-istration. The countries theyhave chosen most often:Canada, Japan, Mexico,Germany, and the UnitedKingdom.
Retirees most often citethe cost of living as the rea-son for moving elsewheresaid Olivia S. Mitchell, di-rector of the Pension Re-search Council at the Uni-versity of Pennsylvania’sWharton School.
“I think that many peopleretire when they are in goodhealth and they are inter-ested in stretching their dol-lars and seeing the world,”Mitchell said.
McCowen’s rent in Ajijic,a community outsideGuadalajara near Mexico’sLake Chapala, is half of whatshe was paying in Texas.And since the weather ismoderate, utility bills areinexpensive.
In some countries,Mitchell said, retirees alsomay find it less expensive tohire someone to do their laun-dry, clean, cook and evenprovide long-term care thanin the United States.
McCowen has a commu-nity of other retirees fromthe U.S. nearby and has ad-justed well.
But for others there arehurdles to overcome to ad-just to life in a different
country.Viviana Rojas, an associ-
ate professor at the Universityof Texas at San Antonio, saysthe biggest obstacle is notspeaking the language orknowing the culture.
“Many of the people weinterviewed said they spokeSpanish, but they actuallyspoke very little Spanish,”said Rojas, who is writing abook about retirees in Mexico.“They didn’t have the capac-ity of speaking enough Span-ish to meet their basic needslike going to the doctor or tothe store.”
Access to health care alsocan be a challenge. While re-tirees still can receive SocialSecurity benefits, Medicareis not available to those liv-ing abroad, Mitchell said.
Joseph Roginski, 71, saysthat while the cost of living ishigher in Japan, access tohealth care is not. “Things arevery expensive here. It is im-possible to live off Social Se-curity alone,” said Roginski,who was stationed in Japan in1968. “But health insuranceis a major factor in stayinghere.”
The former military lan-guage and intelligence spe-cialist said he pays $350 an-nually to be part of Japan’snational health insurance. Hispolicy covers 70 percent ofhis costs. The rest is coveredby a secondary insurance pro-gram for retired military per-sonnel.
Japan experienced biggestgrowth, 42 percent, of US-American retirees than anyother country between 2010and 2014, according to datafrom the Social Security Ad-ministration. The large U.S.military presence in the coun-try may be a factor.
There are more than50,000 U.S. military service-men and -women stationed inJapan. The presence is so largethat in the island of Okinawa,the U.S. military occupiesabout 19 percent of the area,according to Ellis S. Krauss,professor emeritus of Japa-nese politics and policy-mak-ing at the University of Cali-fornia, San Diego.
Roginski, who volunteersfor the Misawa Air Base Re-
tiree Activities Office, saidhe helps connect more than450 retirees and their fami-lies living in Northern Japanwith resources. He said hewould never move back tothe United States.
“We have a real strongsense of security here,” hesaid. “I can leave my doorunlocked and no one willtake anything. When I go toanother country I feel ner-vous, but when I come backI feel like I’m home.”
Mexico has become homefor retired firefighter, DanWilliams, 72, and his wife,Donna, 68. The couple hasbeen living near the sameretirement community inLake Chapala for 14 years.
“The climate and themedical services are verygood,” Williams said.
Williams teaches paint-ing to adults and childrenand puts together a monthlymagazine for the local Ameri-can Legion. He is also a mem-ber of the Lake Chapala So-ciety, which offers daily ac-tivities for US-American re-tirees.
It was those same servicesthat attracted McCowen tothe region.
“Before moving, I foundout how many widowed anddivorced women lived here,”she said. “There is comfort innumbers.”
She says she loves beingin a lively community.
“I see older people walk-ing year round. I see them allover the place even in theirwheelchairs. If they were inthe U.S., they would prob-ably be in a nursing home,”she said. “I don’t think I couldmove back.”

Growing number of US-Americans areretiring outside the United StatesBy MARIA ZAMUDIO, For The Associated Press
Dec. 28, 2016: The U.S.Department of Educationreleased three new sets ofguidance today to assist thepublic in understanding howthe Department interprets andenforces federal civil rightslaws protecting the rights ofstudents with disabilities.These guidance documentsclarify the rights of studentswith disabilities and theresponsibilities of educationalinstitutions in ensuring that allstudents have the opportunityto learn.
The guidance releasedincludes: a parent and educatorresource guide; a DearColleague letter (DCL) andquestion and answer documenton the use of restraint andseclusion in public schools;and a DCL and question andanswer documents on therights of students withdisabilities in public charterschools.
“These guidancedocuments share informationwith our full schoolcommunities – educators,parents, and students – aboutimportant educational rights,including school obligationsto identify, evaluate, and servestudents with disabilities,” saidCatherine E. Lhamon, theDepartment’s assistantsecretary for civil rights.“Vigilant attention to the rightsof students with disabilities willhelp ensure fair treatment forevery student and that everystudent has equal access toeducational programs and hasan opportunity to experiencesuccess.”
The Parent and EducatorResource Guide to Section 504in Public Elementary andSecondary Schools, issued bythe Department’s Office forCivil Rights (OCR), provides abroad overview of Section 504of the Rehabilitation Act of1973 (Section 504). Theguidance describes schooldistricts’ nondiscriminationresponsibilities, includingobligations to provideeducational services tostudents with disabilities, andoutlines the steps parents cantake to ensure that their childrensecure all of the services theyare entitled to receive.
Among other things,the Section 504Parent and EducatorResource Guide:
• Defines and provides ex-amples to illustrate the mean-ing of key terms used in Section504.
• Highlights requirementsof Section 504 in the area ofpublic elementary and second-ary education, including provi-sions related to the identifica-tion, evaluation, and placementof students with disabilities,and procedures for handlingdisputes and disagreementsbetween parents and schooldistricts.
The second guidance pack-age released by OCR ad-dresses the circumstancesunder which use of restraint orseclusion can result in discrimi-
nation against students withdisabilities, in violation of Sec-tion 504 of the RehabilitationAct of 1973 and Title II of theAmericans with DisabilitiesAct (ADA). The Department’sMay 15, 2012, Restraint andSeclusion: Resource Docu-ment suggested best prac-tices to prevent the use ofrestraint or seclusion, recom-mending that school districtsnever use physical restraint orseclusion for disciplinary pur-poses and never use mechani-cal restraint, and that trainedschool officials use physicalrestraint or seclusion only if achild’s behavior poses immi-nent danger of serious physi-cal harm to self or others. TheDCL and question and an-swer document released to-day offer additional informa-tion about the legal limitationson use of restraint or seclu-sion to assist school districtsin meeting their obligations tostudents with disabilities.
The third guidance pack-age released today was devel-oped by OCR and the Office ofSpecial Education and Reha-bilitative Services (OSERS).The jointly-issued Dear Col-league Letter and questionand answer documents willhelp update educators, par-ents, students, and otherstakeholders to better under-stand the rights of studentswith disabilities in public char-ter schools under Section 504and IDEA.
These documents provideinformation about how to pro-vide equal opportunity in com-pliance with Section 504 in keyareas such as charter schoolrecruitment, application, ad-mission, enrollment anddisenrollment, accessibility offacilities and programs, andnonacademic and extracur-ricular activities. The docu-ments are responsive to theU.S. Government Account-ability Office’s 2012 report,Charter Schools: AdditionalFederal Attention Needed toHelp Protect Access for Stu-dents with Disabilities, whichincluded the recommendationthat the Department issueupdated guidance on the ob-ligations of charter schools.
“It is critical to ensure thatchildren with disabilities haveaccess to a free appropriatepublic education in charterschools,” said Sue Swenson,delegated the authority toperform the functions andduties of the Department’sassistant secretary for specialeducation and rehabilitativeservices. “These guidancedocuments are designed tosupport states, local educa-tion agencies, and charterschool personnel to under-stand their responsibilities un-der IDEA and Section 504.”
The Section 504 Char-ter guidance:
• Explains that charterschool students with disabili-ties (and those seeking to at-tend) have the same rights un-der Section 504 and Title II ofthe ADA as other
public school students withdisabilities.
• Details the Section 504 rightto nondiscrimination in recruit-ment, application, and admis-sion to charter schools.
• Clarifies that during theadmission process a charterschool generally may not ask aprospective student if he or shehas a disability.
• Reminds charter schools,other entities, and parents thatcharter school students withdisabilities have the right to afree appropriate public educa-tion (FAPE) under Section 504.
The IDEA Charterguidance:
• Emphasizes that childrenwith disabilities who attend char-ter schools and their parentsretain all rights and protectionsunder Part B of IDEA (such asFAPE) just as they would atother public schools.
• Provides that under IDEAa charter school may not uni-laterally limit the services thatmust be provided a particularstudent with a disability.
• Reminds schools that theleast restrictive environmentprovisions require that, to themaximum extent appropriate,students with disabilities at-tending public schools, includ-ing public charter schools, beeducated with students whoare nondisabled.
• Clarifies that students withdisabilities attending charterschools retain all IDEA rightsand protections included in theIDEA discipline procedures.
In addition to these docu-ments, the Department also re-leased a Know Your Rightsdocument designed for parentsto provide a brief overview ofthe rights of public charterschool students with disabili-ties and the legal obligationsof charter schools under Sec-tion 504 and the IDEA.
The mission of OCR is toensure equal access to educa-tion and to promote educa-tional excellence throughoutthe nation through the vigor-ous enforcement of civil rights.Among the federal civil rightslaws OCR is responsible forenforcing are Title VI of theCivil Rights Act of 1964; TitleIX of the Education Amend-ments of 1972; Section 504 ofthe Rehabilitation Act of 1973;and Title II of the ADA. Themission of OSERS is to im-prove early childhood, educa-tional, and employment out-comes and raise expectationsfor all people with disabilities,their families, their communi-ties, and the nation. OSERS isresponsible for administeringthe Individuals with Disabili-ties Education Act of 2004(IDEA).

Debbie Reynolds y su hija Carrie Fisherunidas por la muerte
“Sonriendo a pesar desus lágrimas, Debbie dice:Todavía estoy muyenamorada de Eddie”.
La carrera musical deFisher nunca se recuperótras esto, pero la deReynolds brilló en el cine.El musical de MeredithWillson de 1964, con ladesafiante canción deMolly “I Ain’t Down Yet”,le dio a Reynolds su únicanominación a un premiode la Academia.
También actuó conGlenn Ford en “The Ga-zebo”, con Tony Curtis en“The Rat Race”, con FredAstaire en “The Pleasureof His Company”, conAndy Griffith en “The Sec-ond Time Around”, con elelenco estelar de “How theWest Was Won” y conRicardo Montalban en“The Singing Nun”.
Además prestó su vozpara la araña Charlotte enla cinta animada“Charlotte’s Web” de1973, el mismo año que fuenominada a un Tony en1973 con una reposiciónen Broadway del musical“Irene”, en el que tambiénactuó su hija.
Sin embargo, susproblemas maritalesdificultaban el resto de suvida.
En 1960 Reynolds se
casó con el magnate zapateroHarry Karl. El matrimonioterminó en 1973 cuandodescubrió que Karl, unapostador compulsivo, lahabía arruinado.
El tercer matrimonio deReynolds, con el empresariode Virginia Richard Hamletten 1984, resultó igualmentedesastroso. A comienzos de ladécada de 1990, contra elconsejo de sus amigos, pagó10 millones de dólares paraadquirir el hotel Paddlewheelen Las Vegas, que habíadecaído, y lo convirtió en elhotel y casino DebbieReynolds, donde sepresentaba cada noche.
Reynolds terminódeclarándose en bancarrota en1997 y acusando a Hamlett derobarle su dinero.
“Todos mis esposos me hanrobado descaradamente”, dijoen 1999. “El único que no sellevó dinero fue Eddie Fisher.Él simplemente no pagaba losgastos de sus hijos”.
En los últimos añosReynolds seguía presentandosu espectáculo y salía de gira40 semanas al año. Tambiénsolía tener presentacionesregulares en televisión, comola madre de John Goodman en“Roseanne” y como madre en“Will & Grace”.
En 1996 fue aclamada porla crítica por su papelprotagónico en la cinta
“Mother” de Brooks.Reynolds y su hija fueronretratadas en el documentalde HBO “Bright Lights”, queserá transmitido por el canalen 2017.
Al final hizo equipo conTaylor—divorciada hacíatiempo de Fisher—y otrasdos veteranas, Joan Collinsy MacLaine, en la películapara televisión de 2001“These Old Broads”. Elguion, coescrito por CarrieFisher, presentaba a un grupode actrices viejas ypeleoneras que se reúnen paraun espectáculo. Reynoldssolía ver con ironía el asuntode Taylor, al tiempo quereconocía que ningúnhombre podría haberseresistido a los encantos de laactriz fallecida en 2011.
Reynolds recibió un Os-car honorario en 2015, elPremio Humanitario JeanHersholt, pero estabademasiado enferma paraasistir a la ceremonia. Su nieta,la actriz Billie Lourd, recibióla estatuilla en su honor.
En los últimos añosReynolds encontró alegría yfortaleza con la renovadarelación con su hija.
“Diría que Carrie y yofinalmente hemos encontradola felicidad”, dijo Reynolds aWinfrey en 2011. “Admiro sufortaleza y su capacidad parasobrevivir”.

HELENA, Mont., Dec.25, 2016 (AP): The pushto restrict refugee resettle-ments and immigration inthe U.S. that figured soprominently in DonaldTrump’s election is nowheaded to states that arepreparing to convenetheir legislative sessionsearly next year, immigra-tion advocates said.
In Montana , whichtook in just nine refugeefamilies from January toearly December, about adozen bill requests relatedto refugees, immigrationand terrorism have beenfiled ahead of nextmonth’s session. Themeasures include requir-ing resettlement agenciesto carry insurance thatwould defray the cost ofprosecuting refugees whocommit violent crimesand allowing towns andcities to request a morato-rium on resettlements intheir communities.
Refugee rights advo-cates say those measuresare a sign of what is tocome as the anti-refugeerhetoric that featuredprominently in the presi-dential election spillsover to statehouses andlocal governments.
“It’s pretty widelyknown that this is goingto be a hard year for thoseof us who are seeking toprotect the rights of refu-gees and immigrants,”said S.K. Rossi, advocacyand policy director for theACLU of Montana.
The president-electcampaigned on buildinga border wall with Mexicoto stop undocumentedimmigration, deportingimmigrants who are in thenation without documen-tation and halting the re-settlement of refugees tostrengthen the federal pro-gram that vets them.
Some down-ticketconservative candidatestook Trump’s cue and in-tegrated the anti-refugeeplatform into their cam-paigns. Montana Rep.Ryan Zinke, for example,spoke multiple t imes
LEXINGTON, N.C., Dec.29, 2016 (AP): AtaliaCardenas worked extremelyhard to develop her poten-tial into success, and she isequally driven to help othersachieve their own excellence.
Cardenas, 37, a natural-ized citizen and married toEfrain Gerardo, focuses oneducation and leads by ex-ample.
“Instead of having immi-grant workers and trying toget through the day, we wantto have people who can rep-resent us so that we can havea voice.” Cardenas said, “andto help other people see thatwe want to be engaged in thecommunity, and be part ofthe community.”
Cardenas and her sister,Zurisadai, immigrated toLexington from Mexico atage 15 with her parents,Mario and Otilia Cardenas.One of just four Hispanic stu-dents at Lexington SeniorHigh School, Cardenasgraduated with honors in1997.
After attending DavidsonCounty Community College,she briefly studied engineer-ing at Clemson Universitybefore returning home andtaking an administrative jobwith Hanesbrands in Win-ston-Salem. While workingat Hanesbrands, Cardenas si-multaneously earned a bach-elor of science degree in in-ternational business fromHigh Point University andan associate degree in para-legal studies from ForsythTechnical College.
“Now when I look back atit, I don’t know how it wasdone,” Cardenas said. “It waspretty aggressive because Iwas working forHanesbrands already when Iwas going to both Forsythand High Point, and I wasworking about 45-50 hours aweek. I had no life.”
She does now, though.Cardenas became a parale-gal for Hanesbrands andmoved up the ranks to hercurrent position of analyti-cal work for legal matters.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 29,2016 (AP): A divided OhioSupreme Court ruled Thurs-day that the testimony of anexperienced police officerwas sufficient evidencewithout expert testimony toconvict a driver of beingunder the influence of a pain-killer and impaired whileoperating the vehicle.
The 4-3 decision re-versed a state appellate courtthat threw out the convic-tion of Clinton Richardson,saying prosecutors didn’tprovide expert testimonylinking the opiatehydrocodone to the driver’sbehavior. The state’s highcourt said the effects of thedrug are well-known and theDayton officer’s testimonysupported evidence for aconviction.
The 14-year police vet-eran reported that he ob-served the driver rear-end-
COLUMBUS, Ohio,Dec. 27, 2016 (AP): OhioGov. John Kasich has ve-toed a bill that would havemade compliance with thestate’s renewable energymandates optional for thenext three years.
Barring a legislativeoverride, the Republicangovernor’s action Tues-day on the energy mea-
about the possibility ofchild terrorists slippinginto the U.S.
Empowered by theissue’s prominence, anti-immigrant groups havestate and local govern-ments in their sights as tar-gets to push restrictivemeasures in addition towhatever changes mayhappen at the federal level,said Michele McKenzie,deputy director of the Min-neapolis organization TheAdvocates for HumanRights.
That would lead to fur-ther manipulation of thedeeply visceral fear of new-comers to the U.S. that wasexposed during the elec-tion campaigns, McKenziesaid.
“It absolutely does notend with the presidentialelection,” McKenzie said.“It’s a national strategy bya small but organized groupof anti-immigration advo-cates and anti-refugee ad-vocates.”
It’s unclear if Trump willmake good on his pledges.But his election appears tobe enough for an Indianalegislative panel led bystate Sen. Mike Delph,which didn’t recommendany legislation after it spenteight months reviewing il-legal immigration.
Delph said after the elec-tion that the U.S.government’s actions maymake immigration less of aproblem for the states.
Conservative lawmak-ers in other states such asMontana aren’t waiting tofind out, and are insteadlooking at measures to givetowns and cities a largervoice in the federal re-settlement process.
“We need to get seri-ous,” said Nancy Ballance,a Republican state repre-sentative from RavalliCounty.
Ballance said refugeesare a “gigantic issue” inher southwestern Montanacounty, just south of theliberal college city ofMissoula. “People expectto see some legislationbrought,” she said.
Away from work, her life iscentered on being just as en-ergized to help others dreamand achieve.
“It comes definitely frommy parents,” Cardenas said.“My dad is a very passionateperson in regards to anythinghe has ever done, and my momhas embedded in my brainthat I should always try tohelp a person and never waitto see what I can get in return.I’ve certainly seen the fruits ofthat.”
“To me, it’s just helpingother people and continuingto make kids realize their po-tential and help them be suc-cessful,” Cardenas said.
The Light of the WorldChurch on Thomason Streetin Lexington is another sourceof inspiration.
“Through our church, wehave very strong values thatare instilled in us by our inter-national director, and we al-ways want to strive to do bet-ter and bring everything backto our community,” she said.
Cardenas’ community in-volvement runs deep. Amongher activities, she is an incom-ing member of the board ofdirectors of the United Way ofDavidson County; the LatinoVillage coordinator onLexington’s MulticulturalFestival planning committee(Cardenas was recentlynamed the Lexington Parksand Recreation Department’sevent volunteer of the year);and she works closely withthe Lexington City SchoolsBoard of Education, whichincludes volunteering withProject Potential.
In Cardenas’ church com-munity, she is the member-ship coordinator for the Re-gional Alliance of Studentsand Professionals, an organi-zation that has helped 10youth go to college.
A new church program,called ‘Alma de Mujer’ (‘Soulof a Woman’), allows Cardenasto assist in locating healthresources for women of thechurch and their families. ``Ihave a lot of community rela-tions with different people,’’
ing another vehicle, hadslurred speech, singed his hairwhile lighting a cigarette, andshowed signs of impairmentduring a walk-and-turn fieldsobriety test.
“The state presented evi-dence that the defendant’sdriving was impaired,” Jus-tice Judith French wrote forthe majority. “The state alsopresented evidence that thedefendant had ingestedhydrocodone, a widely knowndrug of abuse. And the statepresented an experienced po-lice officer’s testimony thatthe defendant appeared to beunder the influence of painmedication ... no expert testi-mony was necessary.”
Richardson’s attorney,Adam Arnold of Dayton, saidhe will look into a federalappeal under his client’s dueprocess and other constitu-tional rights.
“We’re surprised at the rul-
Cardenas said. ``LikeNovant (Health), we arepartnering with them to do ahealth fair at our church.’’
Also, a North CarolinaState University nutrition-ist in Winston-Salem will bepresenting nutrition classesin the program.
Involvement with all ofthese organizations has ledto a network of people will-ing to help area youth.
“I try to build relation-ships with people so thatwhen I ask for something,they help me out,” Cardenassaid. “My dad was like that.He would always make meask questions even when Ididn’t want to.”
Currently, a youth mem-ber of The Light of the WorldChurch serves on the City ofLexington’s Youth Coun-cil.
“That’s one of the greatthings about having thoserelationships,” Cardenassaid. “It helps push some ofthese young men who prob-ably would not have thatopportunity because theydon’t know the rightpeople.”
Cardenas hardly knewany people herself when shearrived in Lexington 22years ago, and that gives herhope.
“Sometimes I feel like ittakes forever, but over thelast couple of years, every-thing has come a little bitmore together for me in termsof being able to voice myopinion and letting peoplein the community know thatthere are other people fromdifferent backgrounds thatare trying to make that hap-pen,” she said.
“I have come a long way,and I continue to come along way, but that doesn’tnecessarily make me stopthere. I want to do evenmore,” Cardenassaid.”Excellence is not per-fection, but striving to dosomething better.”

Missoula has taken inall of the state’s refugeesthis year and has been ap-proved to accept another150 through September.That makes leaders in ru-ral surrounding areas ner-vous that people willsettle in their towns,where housing and jobopportunities are limited.
“If Missoula wants tohave their soft-landingprogram, that’s fine,” saidBob Keenan, a Republi-can state senator fromBigfork, a town north ofMissoula on FlatheadLake. “Those communi-ties may not be as willingto expend their social ser-vice dollars for a soft land-ing.”
Soft Landing Missoulaand the InternationalRescue Committee havebeen the main organiza-tions working with thefederal and state govern-ments to resettle the refu-gees, who come fromCongo, Iraq and Eritrea.
Mary Poole, Soft Land-ing Missoula’s director,said much of the legisla-tion being proposed inMontana is based on mis-information. Some mea-sures—such as requiringsurveys of communities’capacity to take refu-gees—already are part ofthe federal process, shesaid.
“I hope people are stillopen to talking to us andgetting accurate informa-tion,” Poole said. “Ourdoors are definitely openfor conversation.”
Other state-level billsconflict with federal refu-gee laws and will lead tolawsuits, Rossi said.
Just the act of intro-ducing these measuressustains the anti-refugeefear and xenophobia thatgrew during the election,the ACLU lobbyist said.
“Filing this and makingit a public conversation au-tomatically underminesthe refugee process,” Rossisaid. “They can’t legallyundermine the process, butthey can socially under-mine the process.”

In a dissenting opinion,Justice William O’Neillsaid the state didn’t provethat the defendant was un-der the influence of a drugof abuse that impaired hissafe driving ability. He saidthe decision violated “200years of jurisprudence bypermitting a lay person togive an expert opinion”without qualification as anexpert.
“In an OVI case involv-ing alcohol, would the ma-jority affirm an OVI convic-tion based on a respondingofficer’s testimony that‘Well, he looked like he wasover the limit to me,’ basedonly on behavior observedby the officer? No,” O’Neillwrote.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec.28, 2016 (AP): The investi-gative files of a completedcriminal case are a publicrecord under Ohio law andcan be released even if furtherappeals are possible, the stateSupreme Court ruledWednesday in a lawsuitbrought by the Ohio Inno-cence Project.
Public records lawyers hadargued that police depart-ments were improperly inter-preting earlier court decisionsand arguing they could shieldthe files of long-closed casesuntil the defendants died.
At issue was an attempt bythe Innocence Project to re-view the case of a man sen-tenced to 38 years in prisonfor killing a woman in 2005.The project doesn’t representdefendant Adam Saleh butwants to review the records,which Saleh alleges will bol-ster his claim that he didn’tdo it.
A divided court ruled Fri-day that the files, with someexceptions, become a publicrecord once a trial is over.
The court said that underOhio’s open record laws, thelawyer requesting Saleh’s file“had a clear legal right to therequested records and that re-spondents had a clear legalduty to provide the records,”said Justice Paul Pfeifer, writ-ing for the majority.
Chief Justice MaureenO’Connor said the city ofColumbus should release allpublic records in the Salehcase. But she said other in-vestigatory records should beshielded, and the files should
ALBANY, N.Y., Dec. 29,2016 (AP): It will be a happyNew Year indeed for mil-lions of the lowest-paid U.S.workers. Nineteen states, in-cluding New York and Cali-fornia, will ring in the yearwith an increase in the mini-mum wage.
Massachusetts and Wash-ington state will have thehighest new minimum wagesin the country, at $11 perhour.
California will raise itswage to $10.50 for businesseswith 26 or more employees.New York state is taking aregional approach, with thewage rising to $11 in NewYork City, $10 in its down-state suburbs and $9.70 else-where.
“This $1.50 increase, Icannot even comprehendor tell you how importantthis will be,” said AlvinMajor, a New York City fast-food worker. The 51-year-old father of four helpedlead the fight for the in-crease in his state, one ofseveral successful efforts byfast-food workers and otherlow wage workers aroundthe country. “The price offood has gone up. Rent hasgone up. Everything hasgone up. ... This will make
THE CUYAHOGA COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTIONS AUDIT IS100% ACCURATE
FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
CLEVELAND, Dec. 19, 2016: The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections has concludeda week long hand count of the results from the November 8, 2016 Presidential Election.“I am proud to announce that the post-election audit numbers for the presidential racewere exactly the same as the results that came from our polling locations and highspeed scanners,” said Pat McDonald, the Director of the Board of Elections.
In the weeks leading up to the election there were claims that the election would berigged creating doubts about an accurate vote count. “During this tense electionseason I repeatedly assured voters that our election would be administered withtransparency and accuracy. The audit results confirm this fact and builds confidencein our democratic system,” said McDonald.
Post-election audits are required by state election law following general elections ineven-numbered years and following presidential primary elections. The CuyahogaCounty Board of Elections goes beyond this requirement by conducting auditsfollowing every election.
A total of 1,952 ballots were hand counted from United States Presidential contest.Election Day, absentee, and provisional ballots were included in the audit. The ballotswere selected at random and the process was conducted by politically balanced teamsof staff members over a period of one week. The audit was open to the public.
LA AUDITORÍA DE LA ELECCIÓN PRESIDENCIAL DE LAJUNTA ELECTORAL
DEL CONDADO DE CUYAHOGA ES EXACTA AL 100%
La Junta Electoral del Condado de Cuyahoga ha concluido el conteo a mano duranteuna larga semana de los resultados de la Elección Presidencial del 8 de noviembre de2016. “Me siento orgulloso de anunciar que las cifras de la auditoría poselectoral parala elección presidencial fueron exactamente las mismas que los resultados denuestros lugares de votación y escáneres de alta velocidad”, comentó Pat McDonald,Director de la Junta Electoral.
En las semanas previas a la elección hubo afirmaciones de que las elecciones seríanmanipuladas creando dudas sobre el recuento exacto de votos. “Durante esta tensatemporada electoral repetidamente aseguré a los electores que nuestra elección seríaadministrada con transparencia y exactitud. Los resultados de la auditoría confirmaneste hecho y crean confianza en nuestro sistema democrático”, comentó McDonald.
Las auditorías poselectorales son requeridas por la ley electoral estatal tras laselecciones generales en años pares y tras las elecciones primarias presidenciales. LaJunta Electoral del Condado de Cuyahoga va más allá de este requisito mediante larealización de auditorías después de cada elección.
Se contaron a mano un total de 1,952 papeletas de la contienda Presidencial deEstados Unidos. En la auditoría se incluyeron las papeletas del Día de las Elecciones,las de voto ausente y las provisionales. Las papeletas fueron seleccionadas al azary el proceso fue dirigido por equipos políticamente equilibrados de miembros delpersonal durante el período de una semana. La auditoría estuvo abierta al público.
a difference for so manypeople.”
Voters in Arizona, Maine,Colorado, and Washingtonapproved increases in thisyear’s election. Seven otherstates, Alaska, Florida, Mis-souri, Montana, New Jersey,Ohio, and South Dakota, areautomatically raising the wagebased on indexing. The otherstates seeing increases are Ar-kansas, Connecticut, Hawaii,Michigan, and Vermont.
In Arizona, the state Cham-ber of Commerce and Industryfiled a lawsuit challenging theincrease, which will raise theminimum wage from $8.05 to$10. On Thursday, the Ari-zona Supreme Court refusedto temporarily block the raise.
Workers and labor advo-cates argue the increases willhelp low-wage workers nowbarely making ends meet andboost the economy by givingsome consumers more moneyto spend. But many businessowners opposed the higherwages, saying they would leadto higher prices and greaterautomation.
Some restaurant ownersmay consider reducing por-tion sizes or charging for sidedishes that were once includedin the price of a meal to absorbthe increase, according to
Melissa Fleischut, presidentof the New York State Res-taurant Association.
“I’m sure prices will goup where they can, but res-taurants want to avoidsticker shock,” she said.“They’re going to have toget creative.”
The adjustments in Or-egon, New York, Californiaand several other states arepart of a series of gradualincreases to a $12 or $15hourly wage.
The minimum wage willalso go up this weekend in22 cities and counties, in-cluding San Diego, San Joseand Seattle.
The high number of statesand localities raising thewage this year reflects thesuccessful work of fast-foodworkers and organized la-bor, according to TsedeyeGebreselassie, senior staffattorney at the NationalEmployment Law Project, aswell as federal inaction onthe wage. The national mini-mum was last raised, to $7.25,in 2009.
“These aren’t only teenstrying to make some pocketmoney,” she said. “Increas-ingly it’s adults who are us-ing this money to supporttheir families.”
not be released until after all adefendant’s appeals are overor a police department closesa case without charges.
“Releasing materials thatdemonstrate law-enforcementinvestigatory strategies, par-ticularly if knowledge of suchstrategies would empowercriminals to avoid detection,is dangerous,” O’Connorwrote in a dissent.
Messages were left for thecity of Columbus and the In-nocence Project seekingcomment.
Evidence released throughpublic records has resulted innumerous exonerations ofwrongfully convicted in-mates, open records attorneyFred Gittes argued in a filingin June 2015.
“These exonerations havenot weakened our system ofjustice; they have strength-ened it, by providing anotherdevice for correcting the un-avoidable missteps of a sys-tem that can never attain per-fection, but should alwaysstrive for it,” Gittes said.
The lawsuit argued thatchanges in state SupremeCourt evidence rules haveaddressed concerns raised byolder court rulings regardingthe release of case files.
A 2000 appeals court rul-ing said police aren’t obli-gated to release the files with-out proof that no further ap-peals are possible, “e.g., thedefendant’s death.”
Police departments andtheir records divisions don’tknow all the facts behind in-vestigative files, includingwhat witnesses might have
been promised confidenti-ality, Paula Lloyd, an assis-tant Columbus city attorney,wrote in a court filing in July2015
Open records law “mustbe balanced against the com-pelling need to let policeinvestigators do their jobseffectively,” Lloyd said.
Because Saleh’s convic-tion was based in part on thetestimony of several jail-house informants, Saleh con-tends that a full review of thecase could exonerate him,according to the lawsuit.
Ohio is not alone in re-stricting the release of po-lice records, but many states,including Florida, Georgiaand Idaho, generally requirethe release of closed files.
Saleh, 30, was convictedin the death of aspiring modelJulie Popovich, last seenleaving a bar near the OhioState University campus inAugust 2005. The skeletalremains of the 20-year-oldwoman were found threeweeks later in suburbanWesterville.
Saleh was seen leaving abar with the woman shortlybefore she disappeared,made cellphone calls thatnight within a mile of whereher body was discovered andwrote letters to people try-ing to set up phony alibis,Franklin County RonO’Brien has said, arguing theevidence against Saleh wasoverwhelming.
