WASHINGTON, D.C.,Feb. 27, 2010 (AP): Presi-dent Barack Obama saidSaturday that he wants tocompromise with Republi-cans on his sweeping healthcare overhaul if they’re seri-ous about it but that thereform plan must go forward.

Obama’s comments inhis weekly Internet and ra-dio address, two days afteran all-day bipartisan sum-mit across from the WhiteHouse, were the latest signthat Democrats are girdingto try to plow sweepinghealth care legislationthrough Congress with noRepublicans on board.

Success will require co-lossal efforts on the part ofObama and Democraticleaders in Congress to roundup votes after a year of cor-rosive debate and a Repub-lican victory in a Senatespecial-election upset thatthrew the overhaul effortinto limbo last month. ButObama and the Democratsreject the piecemeal ap-proach sought by Republi-cans and have no intentionof scrapping their 10-year,$1 trillion bill and startingover as the Republican de-mands.

“I am eager and willingto move forward with mem-bers of both parties on healthcare if the other side is seri-

WASHINGTON, D.C., el 26de febrero del 2010 (AP): Loslíderes legislativos demócratasprometieron el viernes resucitarsu atascado plan para reformarlos cuidados médicos de losestadounidenses. con o sin lassugerencias de los republicanoso incluso sin sus votos.

Al día siguiente de asistir auna reunión de alto nivelmediada por el presidenteBarack Obama y a la queasistieron representantes deambos partidos, la presidentade la Cámara de RepresentantesNancy Pelosi dijo que lareunión, televisada a todo elpaís, demostró que loslegisladores republicanos“aceptan el estatus quo” en elque las compañías de segurosmaltratan a los consumidores.

Pelosi indicó a los reporterosen una conferencia de prensaque “hay buenas posibilidadesde aprobar” la reforma de loscuidados médicos tal y como ladescribió Obama, incluyo silos republicanos se niegan arespaldarla.

El segundo senador másimportante en la cámara alta,Richard Durbin, opinó de formaparecida. “No vamos a esperar”,indicó.

Tanto Pelosi como Durbindijeron que los demócratasconsiderarán las sugerenciasrepublicanas para enmendar elproyecto.

ous about coming togetherto resolve our differencesand get this done. But I alsobelieve that we cannot losethe opportunity to meet thischallenge,” Obama said.

“The tens of millions ofmen and women who can-not afford their health insur-ance cannot wait anothergeneration for us to act. Smallbusinesses cannot wait.Americans with pre-existingconditions cannot wait.State and federal budgetscannot sustain these risingcosts.

“It is time for those of usin Washington to live up toour responsibilities to theAmerican people and to fu-ture generations,” Obamasaid. “So let’s get this done.”

The United States is theonly developed nation with-out universal health care.Obama’s legislation wouldinsure some 30 million moreAmericans over 10 yearswith a new requirement fornearly everyone to carryinsurance and would endinsurance company prac-tices such as denying cover-age to people with pre-ex-isting conditions. Republi-cans generally oppose man-dates that make everyoneget insurance, and althoughthey want people with pre-existing conditions to beable to buy insurance, they

would try to address the prob-lem without new require-ments on insurance compa-nies.

Obama plans to unveil anupdated proposal this com-ing week, likely on Wednes-day, according to press sec-retary Robert Gibbs. Gibbssuggested it would includeconcepts put forward by Re-publicans at the summit. OneRepublican who was there,Sen. Tom Coburn, was con-tacted Friday by the WhiteHouse and asked to submitdetails of suggestions hemade on rooting out wasteand fraud from the medicalsystem, Coburn’s spokesmansaid.

Spokesman John Hart saidthat Coburn views Obama’slegislation as a governmenttakeover and would not beable to support it even if it’schanged to include some ofhis proposals.

Adding Republican ideasis not likely to win Republi-can votes because the partyinsists Democrats should startfrom scratch. But Obamawould be able to say thathe’d listened to Republicansand attempted to meet thempart way, and that could giveDemocrats political cover tomove forward on their own.Doing so would require useof controversial Senate rulesthat would let Democrats pass

Los demócratas perdieronla mayoría absoluta en laselecciones especiales de Mas-sachusetts para cubrir unescaño en el Senado, privandoa los demócratas de los 60votos necesarios para terminarcon el filibusterismo.

legislation with a simplemajority instead of the 60-vote supermajority they nolonger command. The ap-proach infuriates Republi-cans and is opposed by someDemocratic moderates be-cause of its partisan nature.

Coburn argued against aDemocrats-only bill in theRepublican radio andInternet response Saturday.

“Unfortunately, evenbefore the summit tookplace the majority in Con-gress signaled its intent toreject our offers to worktogether,” Coburn said. “In-stead they want to use pro-cedural tricks and back-room deals to ram througha new bill that combinesthe worst aspects of the billsthe Senate and Housepassed last year.”

“The American peopleare telling us to scrap thecurrent bills, which will leadto a government takeoverof health care, and weshould start over,” Coburnsaid.

MIAMI, Feb. 24, 2010(AP): Black people of Carib-bean descent are being askedby their community’s leadersto write in their nationalitieson the upcoming U.S. Census.

Those leaders wanted theCensus Bureau to treat Carib-bean immigrants and theirchildren like Latinos, who getto note whether they are de-scended from another coun-try, like México. But the Cen-sus form doesn’t allow that forblack citizens and residents ofBahamian, Haitian, or otherCaribbean descent.

Some Caribbean-Ameri-can leaders are urging theircommunities to write theirnationalities on the line under“some other race” on the formsarriving in mailboxes nextmonth, along with checkingthe racial categories they feelidentify them best.

It’s another step in the evo-lution of the Census, whichhas moved well beyond gen-eral categories like “black”and “white” to allow people toidentify themselves as multi-racial, and, in some cases, bynational origin.

The wording of the ques-tions for race and ethnicitychanges with almost everyCensus, making room for thepeople who say, “I don’t seehow I fit in exactly,” CensusBureau director Robert Grovestold reporters in December.

WASHINGTON, D.C., el 25de febrero del 2010 (AP): Elsistema que el Congreso y elgobierno de Barack Obamadesean usar para tratar decontener la inmigración ilegalapenas logra detectar a la mitadde los trabajadores noautorizados, según concluyóuna empresa de investigación.

El sistema E-Verify en línea,que usan voluntariamente losempleadores, da carta blancaerróneamente a trabajadoresilegales un 54% de las veces,según Westat, la compañía queevaluó el sistema para elDepartamento de SeguridadNacional. E-Verify se equivocótodas esas veces debido a queno puede detectar los casos deidentidad fraudulenta, precisóWestat.

El sistema identificócorrectamente a lostrabajadores legales el 93%de las veces, dijo Westat. Sinembargo, los estudiosanteriores no habíandetectado cuántosinmigrantes engañaban alsistema. Gran parte de lascríticas a E-Verify se hancentrado en si ciudadanosestadounidenses oinmigrantes legales, conpermiso de trabajo, eranidentificados erróneamentecomo trabajadores ilegales.

El senador ChuckSchumer, de Nueva York, queestá redactando el proyectode inmigración de losdemócratas y que se haresistido a expandir E-Verifydebido a sus fallas, dijo elmiércoles que el hecho de que

“This will always keep chang-ing in this country as it be-comes more and more diverse.”

In another push tied to the2010 Census, advocates areurging indigenous immigrantsfrom Mexico and CentralAmerica to write in groups suchas Maya, Nahua or Mixtec sothe Census Bureau can tallythem for the first time.

The campaign in themultiethnic Caribbean commu-nity reflects a tendency, bornfrom multiple waves of migra-tion, to establish identity firstby country, then by race.

“We are completelyundercounted because thereisn’t an accurate way of self-identifying for people from theCaribbean,” said FeliciaPersaud, chairwoman ofCaribID 2010, a New York-based campaign to get a cat-egory on the census form forCaribbean-Americans or WestIndians.

About 2.4 percent of theU.S. population—more than6.8 million people—identifiedon the 2000 Census as belong-ing to two or more races. Alittle less than 1 percent of thepopulation—more than 1.8million people—wrote in theirWest Indian ancestry.

And about 874,000people—or 0.3 percent of thepopulation—ticked boxes forNative Hawaiian and otherPacific Islanders that year. If

E-Verify se equivoca tantosignifica que no es unaherramienta adecuada.

“Este es un llamado deatención a todos los quepiensan que E-Verify es unremedio efectivo para detenerla contratación de inmigrantesilegales”, dijo Schumer.

Un proceso de verificaciónde trabajadores es consideradoesencial para toda propuestade reformas al sistema deinmigración que tenga algunaposibilidad de ser aprobada enel Congreso.

El informe de Westat,completado en diciembre del2009 utilizando datos del añoanterior, fue incluido en elcibersitio de SeguridadNacional el 28 de enero juntocon un sumario que señaló queE-Verify acierta“aproximadamente la mitad delas veces”.

Unos 184.000 de los 7 a 8millones de empleadores usanE-Verify, dijo el Departamentode Seguridad Nacional en sucibersitio. El Congreso le dio ala agencia unos 100 millonesde dólares para invertir en E-Verify en su presupuesto del2010.

those islanders could get theirown categories on the form,Caribbean-American leaderssay, why not their communi-ties?

Their lobbying efforts ledto a bill in Congress requiringa box to indicate Caribbeandescent on the census form, butit did not pass.

Accurate counts in the once-a-decade survey ensure recog-nition from the federal govern-ment and the fair allocation ofresources to state and localgovernments, advocates say.

While most Caribbeans areexpected to at least check thebox for “black,” lumping themtogether with all African-Americans means corporationsand politicians won’t see thepolitical, economic and socialissues specific to their immi-grant communities, Persaudsaid. They also won’t see thesize of those communities orget a sense of the diversity ofexperiences among Afro-Car-ibbean groups.

Persaud plans to check the“some other race” category andwrite in her nationality,Guyanese. Her father is AsianIndian, and her mother is blackand Asian Indian, but shedoesn’t feel those categoriesreflect her blended Caribbeanidentity.

“We’ve always been able tosay we’re a mix, and then youcome to this country and you’renot sure where you’re fittingunder, so I figured that we’re‘other,”’ Persaud said. “That’show everybody feels.”

DETROIT, Feb. 26, 2010(AP): In the heart of the largestconcentration of Muslims inthe U.S., the Detroit Institute ofArts this weekend is opening anew permanent gallery of Is-lamic art showcasing exhibitsincluding a rare 15th-centuryQuran of a Mongol conqueror.

“The Arab and Islamic com-munity is significant enoughthat it needs to see itself in themuseum,” said director Gra-ham W.J. Beal. “Their collec-tion had not been shown veryprominently in the previousrecent decades.”

Sunday’s opening comes asseveral museums worldwide arebroadening their collections.New York’s Metropolitan Mu-seum of Art is working on asuite of Islamic art galleries andThe David Collection inCopenhagen is preparing toclose its gallery for a reinstalla-tion. The Louvre in Paris andthe Victoria and Albert Mu-seum in London also boast ofmajor renovations to their col-lections. And Egyptian offi-cials plan to reopen Cairo’sMuseum of Islamic Art.

In Detroit, the gallery ofabout 170 works of art from theMediterranean region, theMiddle East, Central Asia andIndia was several years in themaking. It was to be part of themuseum’s $158 millionmakeover completed in 2007but required extra time andmoney.

The gallery, with its pointedarches, narrow columns and softlighting, give the collection asolemn yet inviting feel.Themes spanning 1,500 yearsinclude “Silk Road Inspira-tions,” whose works reveal thereach of the Islamic world andits role linking East and West;and “Sacred Writings of theIslamic World,” which includesChristian and Jewish manu-scripts from the Islamic world.

Among the gallery’s trea-sures: one of the largest-knownOttoman mosque candlesticksfrom about 1500; an elevatedgiant cut-velvet summer floorcovering made between 1650and 1700 in Turkey, believedto be the largest of its kind; anda 15th-century leather-boundQuran, whose gold-fleckedpaper was given by the Mingemperor of China to Timur, oneof the Mongol conquerors ofthe Middle East.

Heather Ecker, themuseum’s Islamic art curator,described it as the “most spec-tacular and important piece inthe collection” and said it’sone of four surviving manu-scripts and the only one in theU.S.

Gamblingexpansionproposalstarget ballotBy TIM MARTIN,Associated Press Writers

LANSING, Feb. 26,2010 (AP): Two proposalsthat would expand gam-bling in Michigan havehad preliminary reviewsby a state elections board.

The Board of StateCanvassers approved theform of petitions for thegroups at a Friday meet-ing. Sponsors of each ofthe efforts still would haveto gather more than300,000 voter signaturesin order to qualify for theNovember ballot.

A group called “Michi-gan Is Yours” backs a pro-posal that would autho-rize casinos in BentonHarbor, Detroit, Flint,Lansing, Muskegon andRomulus. The proposalwould include a casino atDetroit Metropolitan Air-port.

A group called “Rac-ing to Save Michigan” hasa separate proposal thatwould permit up to eightnew casinos, five of whichwould be at Michiganhorse racing tracks.

Michigan Commission onSpanish-Speaking Affairs tomeet on March 5

The Michigan Commission on Spanish Speaking Affairs(COSSA) will meet in a public session on Friday, March 5,2010, beginning 10:00AM, for a Regular CommissionMeeting. The meeting will be held at the Detroit ScienceCenter, 5020 John R. Street, Detroit, Michigan 48202. Forquestions or driving directions, please call (517) 373-8339.If anyone has matters to bring before the Commission, theycan contact the Commission office at (517) 373-8339. Therewill be an opportunity for public comment at the beginningof the meeting.

The new galleryalso seeks to “engagethe public by tellingthe stories that theworks of art can tellabout themselves,”she said.

The gallery’scompletion follows anambitious, in-house ar-chaeology project. Acut-tile mosaic panelhanging above the Qurandating back to 15th centuryIran was found in storage, andthe mosque candlestick alsowas stored, covered in greenwax and misdated to the 18thcentury. Both have been atthe museum since the 1920s.

Ecker says interest in Is-lamic art has risen since theSept. 11 terrorist attacks. Be-fore then, it was largely kepton the sidelines or in a sup-porting role to European andAmerican art.

“I think there’s a wish tounderstand and I think muchmore energy is being dedi-cated to understanding whatthe Islamic world is, its lan-guages, its cultures and itspeople,” she said.

Beal said a new genera-tion of museum directors arepushing to abandon geo-graphical or cultural hierar-chies and develop collectionsthat “connect with people.”

Detroit’s effort has comewith criticisms. Most disturb-ing to Beal was a letter from amember who asked why themuseum was “promotinggodless Islam.”

“Nobody has said, ‘Whyare you showing Native

American art?’ I’ve never hadthat question in my whole ca-reer,” he said.

Ecker said it’s impossibleto separate the museum’s workfrom those outside tensions,but it can help dispel igno-rance.

“When a museum has acollection as we do, we do feela responsibility to provide notonly a beautiful experience ...but also an educational expe-rience, because I think there’sa lot of ignorance,” she said.“Not only among non-Mus-lims, but a lot of Muslims don’thave a good understanding ofthe 1,500 years of Islamic his-tory.”

The engine built at Cleve-land Engine Plant No. 1 isexpected to lead its class infuel efficiency with 30 milesper gallon on the highwayand 305 horsepower, theDearborn, Mich.-basedautomaker said.

“Ford is absolutely com-mitted to delivering class-leading fuel efficiency withevery new vehicle we intro-duce, and this investment inCleveland provides furtherproof,” said Bill Russo, di-rector of manufacturing forFord’s powertrain operations.

Derrick Kuzak, group vicepresident for global productdevelopment, said the 3.7-liter engine “uses premiumtechnology to deliver thepower, the feel, the fuel effi-ciency, even the sound of thebest sports coupes in theworld.”

The news from Ford con-tinues a recent string of heart-ening announcements for anOhio auto industry batteredby layoffs and plant closings.On Tuesday, General MotorsCorp. said it would bring1,200 autoworkers back thissummer to start producing theChevrolet Cruze compact carat its Lordstown factory innortheast Ohio. Last week,GM said it would invest $59million and add 80 jobs at aplant in Defiance in north-west Ohio.

ARIES: MARCH 21 - APRIL 20You’re running on pure faith that this will take care of

itself. I have a feeling you’re right - but before you giveit all up to the Creator, take a quick look at whether or notyou really believe that.

TAURUS: APRIL 21 - MAY 20It’s hard to see that everything’s going to be fine when

it’s such a mess. Don’t be too concerned about how thingslook. Take a deep breath and ask yourself; what makesyou freak out whenever things change?

GEMINI: MAY 21 - JUNE 20Things are nuts. This time it’s in a good way. The 3-

ring circus is amusing at least so for now just sit back andenjoy it. Soon enough the side effects of all the crazinesswill bring you back down to earth.

CANCER: JUNE 21 - JULY 20You’re looking at what you’ve got and wondering

how you’re going to stretch it. Tightening your belt isn’tthe answer. When times are tough it’s always best tospread the wealth. Trust me; that’s how it works.

LEO: JULY 21 - AUGUST 20Not everyone is incurably romantic. Whoever you’re

stuck on may not have more than a fling on their mind. Ifyou can deal with that go ahead and jump down this rabbithole. If you can’t, don’t fall in love this time.

VIRGO: AUGUST 21 - SEPTEMBER 20Finding the strength to go through this one more time

has you wondering why. Being too big hearted, you can’tsay no. Don’t judge it. Maybe another rerun is what it willtake to get you past the issues that keep it going.

LIBRA: SEPTEMBER 21 - OCTOBER 20You’ve finally flown the coop. It’s been so long since

you’ve felt this free you don’t even know what to do withyourself. Chill out and breathe. It won’t take long toremember who you are and what you love.

SCORPIO: OCTOBER 21 - NOVEMBER 20You don’t need to figure this out. What doesn’t make

sense is usually in our best interests. Second guessingyour reasons for taking this leap will keep you fromgetting in touch with the fact that you want to.

SAGITTARIUS: NOVEMBER 21 - DECEMBER 20Don’t put your faith in outer things right now. Nothing

out there’s going to change this. The lesson seems to beabout you finding the strength to do things withoutneeding anything but your self to make them happen.

CAPRICORN: DECEMBER 21 - JANUARY 20Too far, too fast or too little, too late kinda sums it up;

what were you thinking? If you can’t laugh this off you’regonna have a hard time living through it. And if you can’tswitch to Plan B, start praying.

AQUARIUS: JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 20You don’t need to worry about whether you’ll get

through this. It’s not as bad as it looks. Don’t make it worseby expecting too much from yourself. And stop feedingthe notion that you’re going down the tubes.

PISCES: FEBRUARY 21 - MARCH 20You can say what you want about people but it doesn’t

make you right. Until you understand why they do whatthey do you’ve got no business judging them. Look in themirror. Whatever this is about it’s your stuff.

The company also is in-vesting $34 million forlaunch and engineeringcosts.

SANTA FE, Feb. 26, 2010(AP): Actor and director Rob-ert Redford and New MexicoGov. Bill Richardson unveileddetails Friday of a collabora-tion that will expand trainingopportunities for NativeAmericans and Latinos inter-ested in filmmaking, the artsand the environment.

Redford and Richardsonfirst announced the“Sundance in New Mexico”idea last spring. In recentmonths, it has evolved andbeen given a new name—“Milagro at Los Luceros”—to better reflect that the insti-tute will be a product of NewMexico, rather than just anoffshoot of Redford’sSundance Institute in Utah.

“It’s a name that reflects thespirit of the land and the pas-sion of its people,” Richardsonsaid at a news conference.

The project will be based atLos Luceros, a state-ownedhacienda and complex ofbuildings along the RioGrande north of Espanola.Besides the historic buildings,the state will use $750,000 in

federal stimulusfunds to build a se-ries of eco-friendlylodges where as-piring filmmakerscan stay while at-tending work-shops.

Redford andRichardson signedan agreement to formalizethe partnership. Redfordsaid he has been committedthroughout his life to en-abling “underrepresentedvoices”—particularly thoseof Native Americans andLatinos—to tell their sto-ries.

Growing up, he said, hewatched films that misrepre-sented American Indian cul-ture and vowed that if hecould ever do something tochange that, he would.

“What I would like to seein Los Luceros is these cul-tures telling their stories intheir own way, on their ownturf,” Redford said. “They’renot over at Sundance tellingthese stories. They’re herewhere their cultures were

raised. This environment, Ithink, is very important.”

Milagro at Los Luceros willbe like a work-study program.

Participants won’t have topay for writing workshops oractors’ labs, but they will berequired to give back to thecommunity in some way,whether by fixing fences atthe property or encouraginglocal elementary studentsthrough classroom visits.

Beginning in the spring,Los Luceros will host a seriesof workshops and discussionsas well as free screenings ofRedford’s “The MilagroBeanfield War,” which hefilmed in northern NewMexico in 1988.

There will also be an actor’slab designed specifically forNative American and Hispanicactors who will be chosen bya panel of professionals afteraudition workshops aroundthe state. Officials said it willbe the first lab of its kind andused as a national trainingmodel for diverse populations.

Richardson described thepartnership with Redford asrare.

“It’s extraordinary for aperson the caliber and statureof Bob Redford to collaboratewith state government to cre-ate a new kind of initiativethat will address film and filmarts as they relate to jobs andjobs training,” Richardsonsaid. “It’s a great gift from BobRedford to the state of NewMexico.”

Redford said establishingMilagro at Los Luceros is notunlike the beginnings of theSundance Institute.

“We’re starting in a veryhumble way and we’ll let itgrow,” he said.

Feb. 25, 2010: The OhioHistoric Preservation Officein Columbus learned todaythat the nomination for theKent State Shootings Siteby the Ohio Historic SitePreservation AdvisoryBoard to National Registerof Historic Places has beenapproved, according toFranco Ruffini, deputystate historic preservationofficer.

The site, near the inter-section of East Main Streetand South Lincoln Streeton the Kent State Univer-sity campus in Kent, Ohio,has been entered into theNational Register becauseof it significance to nationalhistory.

In 1970, student unrestwas considered the majorsocial problem in the UnitedStates. On May 4 of thatyear, Kent State Universitywas placed in an interna-tional spotlight after a stu-dent protest against the Viet-nam War and the presenceof the Ohio National Guardon campus ended in trag-edy when the Guard shotand killed four andwounded nine Kent Statestudents.

The May 4, 1970, KentState Shootings Site wasproposed for nomination tothe National Register ofHistoric Places because ofevents associated with it,although they happenedless than 50 years ago, were

nationally significant. Theycaused the largest studentstrike in United States his-tory, increased recruitmentfor the movement against theVietnam War and affectedpublic opinion about the war,created a legal precedent es-tablished by the trials subse-quent to the shootings andfor the symbolic status theevent has attained as a resultof a government confront-ing protesting citizens withunreasonable deadly force.

As defined, the May 4,1970 Shootings Site covers17.24 acres of the Kent Statecampus comprising three ar-eas: the Commons, BlanketHill, and the Southern Ter-race. The site is an irregulararea within which the OhioNational Guard, student pro-testors and an active audi-ence of observers and/or sym-pathizers ebbed and flowedacross a central portion ofthe campus, beginning at ap-proximately 11:00 a.m. andending at approximately1:30 p.m., May 4, 1970.

About the National RegisterThe National Register

lists places that should bepreserved because of theirsignificance in U.S.-Ameri-can history, architecture, ar-chaeology, engineering, andculture. It includes build-ings, sites, structures, objects,and historic districts of na-tional, state, and local im-portance.

To be eligible for listing onthe National Register aproperty or district must:

• be associated withevents thathave made asignificantc o n t r i b u -tion to thebroad pat-terns of ourhistory, or *be associ-ated withthe lives ofpeople significant in ourpast, or

• embody the distinctivecharacteristics of a type, pe-riod, or method of construc-tion, or represent the work ofa master, or possess high artis-tic values, or represent a sig-nificant, distinguishable en-tity whose components maylack individual distinction(e.g. a historic district), or

• have yielded, or be likelyto yield, information impor-tant in prehistory or history.

National Register listingoften raises communityawareness of a property.However, listing does notobligate owners to repair orimprove their properties anddoes not prevent them fromremodeling, altering, sell-ing, or even demolishingthem if they choose to do so.

Owners or long-term ten-ants who rehabilitate in-come-producing propertieslisted on the National Reg-ister can qualify for a 20-

percent federal income taxcredit if the work they dofollows the Secretary of theInterior’s Standards for Re-

habilitation, guidelinesused nationwide for repairsand alterations to historicbuildings.

In Ohio, anyone may pre-pare a National Registernomination. Nominationsare made through the OhioHistoric Preservation Officeof the Ohio Historical Soci-ety. Proposed nominationsare reviewed by the OhioHistoric Site PreservationAdvisory Board, a gover-nor-appointed panel of citi-zens and professionals inhistory, architecture, archae-ology, and related fields.

The board reviews eachnomination to see whetherit appears to be eligible forlisting on the National Reg-ister, then makes a recom-mendation to the State His-toric Preservation Officer.The final decision to add aproperty to the register ismade by the National ParkService, which administersthe program nationwide.

Nine international guestsfrom Argentina, Colombia,

Costa Rica, Ecuador, Para-guay, Perú, Uruguay, andVenezuela were welcomedby nearly 150 guests at LaBoca to discuss the impact ofeconomic globalization,trade and get acquainted withCleveland Latino leaders.

“The Greater Cleveland

Partnership and our eco-nomic development partners,such as Nortek and TeamNEO, are pleased to share ourexperiences with guests fromSouth and Latin America andhope to establish workingrelationships with thequests,” said Gerald Meyer,Senior Director Business De-velopment, Greater Cleve-land Partnership. He said thegoal was to build mutuallybeneficial relationships thatcan later translate into part-nerships that would engagein economic growth.

regions of the country to ex-amine their response to theglobalization process. Theirprofessional backgroundsrange from government offi-cials, editors and journalists,to project managers; workingfor the interest of their respec-tive countries.

The delegation discussedlocal business practices, freetrade agreements, shifts in in-ternational business patterns,job outsourcing, and reloca-tions of businesses.

“Cleveland is the best placeto invest in because it has a lotof services in medical, andindustry;” said ClaribelAparieco of Bolivia. Her firstvisit to the United States,Aparieco was most delightedby the snow and appreciatedthe Cleveland hospitality.

María Luisa Almeida, fromParaguay, agreed; adding,while Cleveland is not the mostrecognized city it has interest-ing opportunities and her goalis to promote investment and

export opportunities betweentwo countries. “Right now weare just learning about yourculture and sharing ours,” shesaid.

Establishing personalfriendships will facilitate part-nerships said José Feliciano,The Hispanic Roundtable’sPresident; “The Hispanic cul-ture is universal. The open-ness, graciousness, andwarmth evidenced at the re-ception in Cleveland are thesame as it would be through-out the countries of each ofour visitors from SouthAmerica.”

Gus Hoyas, Chair of theOhio Hispanic Chamber ofCommerce, said the eventmade a favorable impressionon the delegation and MayorFrank Jackson should seizethis opportunity to makeCleveland a welcome centerfor Latin American investors.“For the benefit of Clevelandand its future, he needs tolook outside of Cleveland to

bring talent in and businesshere,” said Hoyas.

Guests also enjoyed livemusic, and poetry readings.The delegation will stay inthe U.S. till March 4, 2010.While in Cleveland, the groupwill be meeting with CSUNance College of BusinessAdministration, United LaborAgency, Greater ClevelandPartnership, Nortech, TeamNEO, Case Western ReserveUniversity, CuyahogaCounty Farm Bureau andPolicy Matters.

LORAIN, Feb. 26, 2010:Federal funding has been ap-proved and the blueprint is onthe table. After three years ofplanning, the only Latino so-cial service agency in LorainCounty could move to a biggerhome this year.

El Centro de ServiciosSociales has raised 70 percentof its $1.5 million capital cam-paign for renovating a formerbank on the corner of PearlAvenue and 28th Street andmake it its new headquarters.

“We’re very excited that weare going to be a part of thisproject and this change to thecommunity,” said VictorLeandry, Executive Director ofEl Centro “We’re bringinglife...It’s going to bring newtraffic to Pearl Avenue. We’rehoping that that traffic alsohelps those businesses around,”he said.

The agency entered a build-ing exchange agreement withthe city of Lorain in 2007; theagency plans to move to thenew 2800 Pearl Avenue sitethat will be three times the sizeof its current 31st Street home,that it has outgrown.

But the date for the move isstill unknown because the reno-vation cannot begin until theapproved $584,000 federalgrant, secured by U.S. Sen.Sherrod Brown and U.S. Rep.Betty Sutton, arrives, Leandrysaid.

The renovation would thentake about three months, hesaid.

Roughly 100 people includ-ing Lorain Mayor AnthonyKrasienko turned out toPrincipe de Paz LutheranChurch to learn the agency’slatest plans, followed by a tourof El Centro’s new site Feb. 26,2010.

Leandry announced theagency has raised $1.01 mil-lion with the help of commu-nity groups and banks, and thefederal grant.

Leandry said although reno-vation can begin upon the ar-rival of the federal funds, morehelp is still needed to reachtheir full goal.

Generosa López-Molina,dean of Academic Foundationsat Lorain County CommunityCollege, was among the presentat the unveiling of the new site,and said she is honored to sup-port the agency.

“It’s a historical time in thehistory of not only the Latinocommunity here in the city ofLorain but also in the history of

LORAIN: Latino andother leaders are unitingaround the nation to turnthe attention in U.S. Con-gress back to immigrationreform after they say Presi-dent Barack Obama hasfailed to address the issuein his first year in office ashe had promised.

Through the nationalcampaign, Reform Immigra-tion For America, immigrant,labor, business and faith lead-ers around the country arehoping to recruit more than100,000 people to rally inWashington, D.C., on March21, 2010, in hopes of pressur-ing legislators to pass a com-prehensive immigration re-form bill this year.

They are still looking tofill buses around the countrywith more people and takethem to the nation’s capital.

Two leaders of the Ohiochapter of the Reform Immi-gration For America cam-paign – Rubén CastillaHerrera and Nick Torres –met with Lorain’s El CentroExecutive Director VictorLeandry Feb. 24, 2010 todiscuss how to get peoplemobilized for immigrationreform.

“In Northeast Ohio, (im-migration reform) may notbe a top issue,” said Herrera,Ohio Director for the ReformImmigration for Americacampaign, but he added theissue “it affects us all. We’retalking about theeconomy...So the questionis how do we move forward?We want to create a move-ment,” he said.

The Busses En Route toD.C.

Herrera and Torres said

they are still looking for peopleto fill 10 buses departing fromvarious cities around Ohio enroute to Washington, D.C., forthe rally. Details are not finalyet but plans are to have threebuses depart from Columbus,two from Cincinnati, one fromToledo, one from Cleveland,possibly one from Lorain, Can-ton, Dayton, Youngstown, orPainesville or Ashtabula area.

For the latest bus route in-formation visit the campaign’sweb site at http://wemarchforamerica.org

Herrera said the campaignwill cover about half the trans-portation cost - roughly $30per person – another quarter ofthe costs may be fundraisedand the last quarter of the costmay be paid by the participants.

U.S. Rep. Luis Gutiérrezhelped introduce a proposal inthe U.S. House of Representa-tives in December 2009, andnow this national campaign ispushing for a bill to be intro-duced and passed in the U.S.Senate no later than threemonths from now, Herrera said.

According to Herrera, Sen.Charles E. Schumer (D-NY) andSen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)could push for a bipartisan billwith a third Republican sena-tor. Herrera said his Ohio teamare trying to get Sen. George V.Voinovich (R-OH) or Sen. Ri-chard Lugar (R-Ind.) to comeon board.

“We have not spoken di-rectly to Voinivich only to hisclose staff,” Herrera said “but Ithink there’s hope and we’regoing to keep working withhim,” he said.

The comprehensive immi-gration reform strives to pro-tect both U.S. and immigrantworkers, offers undocumented

immigrants an earned path-way to citizenship, providesufficient visas, create a stra-tegic border enforcementpolicy that enhances thenation’s security in a rationaland humane way while keep-ing families together, andwhile still enforcing mea-sures against the worst viola-tors of immigration and la-bor laws.

Herrera and Torres saidthe immigration reformshould not take a backseat tothe economy and health carereform on the President’s to-do list.

“It’s such a critical issuefor the economy,” said Torres,Ohio Grassroots Organizer forReform Immigration ForAmerica, “You can’t buildan economy on a broken im-migration system.”

Herrera added:“Obama said he would

address this in his first year.We’re holding him account-able. This is not just a Latinoissue but we’re a force thatneeds to be reconciled with.”

But the rally is not theonly way Herrera and Torreshave been planning to getWashington’s attention. Dur-ing the week of Feb. 15 to 19,2010, hundreds of peoplearound the state of Ohio or-ganized visits and made over1,000 phone calls to severallegislators.

They plan to do morephone banks, to be an-nounced on their web site.

“It’s that pressure to letthem know this issue is notgoing to die,” Torres said“This is not an issue that canbe ignored. We have to bemore direct,” he said.

Victor Leandry told

the (El Centro) organization,”Lopez-Molina said “It hasbeen serving a greater com-munity over the last severaldecades...It’s a pleasure for meto be here today celebrating.”

Leandry said their current3,300 square feet Victorian-style home, located 1888 E.31st Street, is no longer suit-able for the agency’s needs.The non-profit agency pro-vided services to 3,000 fami-lies last year.

“We have grown so much,”Leandry said “If you look atour offices, each office is sharedby two or three staff and some-times that is not the most con-ducive setting for us to pro-vide services to families,”hesaid.

The new 11,000 square feetPearl Avenue building willhave more offices and case-workers will not need to sharespace, will be completelyhandicap-accessible as eleva-tors will be available, will bemore energy efficient with anupdated heating and coolingsystem and will have a largerparking lot.

The new facility will alsohave a 50-person capacitycommunity conference roomand two or three offices forother local non-profits andagencies to meet on a rotatingbasis.

The City’s Pearl AvenueRenovation Plans

The agency’s capital cam-paign project is part of an evenbigger city plan to fully reno-vate the Pearl Avenue area.

“I don’t know if peoplehave noticed that there’s beena lot of changes in Pearl Av-enue,” Leandry said “Andpeople don’t realize it becausechanges don’t happen over-night.”

He said the plan for somebusinesses including ElCentro is to resemble the lookof “El Viejo San Juan” or thearchitecture of Old San Juan,Puerto Rico.

“We’re happy that we’regoing to be the cornerstone,the main project moving tothis Pearl Avenue,” he said.

El Centro de ServiciosSociales is a non-profit agencythat was founded with the goalof helping the low-income andnon-Eng l i sh - speak ingLatinos. The agency has ex-panded to provide services topeople from all backgrounds.They have a youth program,and provide services in trans-lation, finding employment,

tax preparation, family vio-lence prevention and supportservices for seniors. The agencyalso has the only money man-agement program for individu-als with mental or physical ill-ness in Lorain County, Leandrysaid.

El Centro “it’s a valuableresource for our community,”Leandry said “I’m making acall for the community to keeplooking for ways to help us,” hesaid.

Leandry said that eventhough he is a U.S. citizen,immigration reform is veryimportant to him. He said pass-ing a comprehensive immi-gration reform bill is the bestway to curb the anti-immigra-tion sentiment and discrimi-nation in the country.

Leandry said “Not pass-ing this bill opens the door todiscrimination especiallyagainst the Latinocommunity...Immigrantfamilies want their voicesheard but are so fearful tospeak up. So that’s where weneed other Latinos to stepforward and start this wavefor them,” he said.

Herrera will be visitingother parts of Ohio this week,including stops in Toledo,Ohio.
