ELYRIA, OH, July 7,2019: The debate be-tween the Beatles and theRolling Stones has beengoing on ever since theyfirst crossed paths on thecharts 54 years ago. Theargument at the time, andone that still persists, wasthat the Beatles were apop group and the Stoneswere a rock band: the boysnext door vs. the bad boysof rock.
So, who’s better?These two legendary
bands will engage in anon-stage, throw down - amusical ‘showdown’ ifyou will - on Tuesday,September 17 at theStocker Arts Center onthe campus of LorainCounty CommunityCollege at 7:30 pm cour-tesy of tribute bands Ab-bey Road and Satisfaction- The International Roll-ing Stones Show.
Taking the side of theFab Four is Abbey Road,one of the county’s topBeatles tribute bands.With brilliant musician-ship and authentic cos-tumes and gear, AbbeyRoad plays belovedsongs spanning theBeatles’ career. They faceoff against renownedStones tributeband Satisfaction - TheInternational RollingStones Show, who offer afaithful rendition of themusic and style of MickJagger, Keith Richardsand the bad boys of theBritish Invasion.
Where did the idea forthe show come from?
“Music fans never had achance to see the Beatlesand the Rolling Stones per-form on the same marquee,”said Chris Legrand, whoplays “Mick Jagger” in theshow.
“Now, music aficionadoscan watch this debate playout on stage.”
The Elyria show is part ofa 125-stop tour of the U.S.,Australia and Canada andhas been touring since2011.The show also per-forms long term residenciesfor a number of the Harrah’sCasino properties. The pro-duction includes some ofthe more popular songs fromthe two rock pioneers andcovers the scope of their mu-sical careers, although theset list for Satisfaction usu-ally includesRolling Stonessongs up to the1980s.
“They cer-tainly havemore pop songsbut we’re a re-ally great liveshow. The fansare in for an in-credible night ofmusic!” saysLeGrand.
During thetwo-hour show,the bands per-form three setseach, tradingplaces in quickset changes andending the nightwith an all-out
encore involving bothbands. The band membershave their outfits custom-made, since avid fans knowexactly what the Beatlesand Stones wore onstageduring different time peri-ods in their careers. There’sa lot of good-natured jab-bing between the bands aswell.
“Without Beatlemania,the Stones might still be acover band in London,” saidChris Overall, who plays“Paul”.
“There’s no questionthat the Beatles set the stan-dard.”
The audience naturallyenjoys top shelf tributes totwo legendary bands in thesame evening. Like TheIdaho Statesman said: “Ifyou see only one tributeshow, see this one...smart
and loads of fun.”“It’s just a fun time and a
cool back-and-forth non-stop show,” Overall said.
“We’re going to bring itall. It’s going to be anevening of high-energymusic,” said Legrand.
Beatles vs. Stones – AMusical Showdown willperform on Tuesday, Sep-tember 17, 2019, at 7:30 pmat the Stocker Arts Centeron the campus of LorainCounty Community Col-lege. Tickets are $30 - $50and may be purchased byphone at (440) 366-4040,in person at the Stocker BoxOffice or onlineat www.stockerartscenter.com.The Stocker Arts Center islocated at 1005 N.

WASHINGTON, D.C.,July 9, 2019: Congress-woman Marcy Kaptur (D-OH)released the following state-ment after the Fifth CircuitCourt of Appeals began hear-ing oral arguments in theTexas v. U.S. lawsuit, Repub-licans’ latest efforts to strikedown every benefit affordedto the American people underthe Affordable Care Act, in-cluding protections for 130million Americans living withpre-existing conditions.
Rep. Kaptur highlightedthe devastating impact the Re-publican lawsuit would haveon hard-working familiesacross Northern Ohio andthroughout the United States.
“Since the AffordableCare Act became law, it hasprovided coverage to morethan 200,000 Ohioans and16 million Americans,” saidRep. Kaptur. “Sadly, Presi-dent Trump and his Repub-lican colleagues have beenrelentless in their efforts tofully repeal the AffordableCare Act and all the benefitsthe legislation has affordedthe American people sinceits inception, including pro-tections for nearly 130 mil-lion Americans – roughlyone third of the U.S. popula-
July 12, 2019: ArtistCaroline Jardine, whoearned a BFA with the Uni-versity of Toledo Depart-ment of Art (2017), re-cently designed and com-pleted a mural project in-tended to beautify aban-doned homes on NorthHuron Street in the his-toric Vistula district,Toledo’s first neighbor-hood. The houses havegood “bones” and may yet bere-habilitated. The project isintended to protect them fromvandalism in hopes that abuyer may one day remodelthem.
Ms. Jardine’s mural con-sists of panels that cover thewindows and doors of the struc-tures. Each panel has a uniquedesign that connects in colorscheme and concept to theother panels.
The project was initiatedby Reginald Temple, Directorand Vice President of Com-munity Development for FirstFederal Bank of the Midwest.Mr. Temple, a UToledo Col-lege of Arts and Letters alum-nus (Communication ’03), of-ten partners with the LucasCounty Land Bank on vari-ous projects. He says thismural is similar to other “boardup” projects the LucasCounty Land Bank and theArts Commission have done,like the one for the formerresidence of Toledo’s legend-ary jazz pianist, Art Tatum.
The Huron Street projectwas organized through thecollaborative efforts of Mr.Temple’s company, the LucasCounty Land Bank and theArts Commission of Greater
Toledo. First Federal Bank pro-vided volunteers, plus lunchesand restrooms for the volunteers.The LCLB provided the proper-ties and the Arts Commissioncommissioned an artist and pro-vided the paint and boards.
Ryan Bunch, Communica-tions and Outreach Coordinatorfor the Arts Commission, askedMs. Jardine to design 16 muralsfor the North Huron Street prop-erties. She says, “I designed thepanels so that they would func-tion as individual pieces and asa whole. Lindsay Akens [Cre-ative Placemaking Facilitator,Arts Commission] and RyanBunch showed the Vistula com-munity members the designs andreceived their approval to moveforward with the project.”
Ms. Jardine adds that her de-sign was inspired by her own workand the houses themselves. “Ichose to include abstracted,minimalist figures that look out tothe viewer. The vacant houses aregiven character and life throughthese figures. The house at 1109N. Huron was partially blue tobegin with, so I brought in blue asone of the colors in this mural.”
Temple arranged for nearly60 volunteers from his companyto carry out the painting. Ms.Jardine says she was impressed
with the volunteers be-cause they did so muchmore than paint. “Thehouses that the muralswere installed onneeded a lot of work.Volunteers clearedbrush, mowed thelawns, picked up trash,pulled weeds, andcleaned the porches.”
“Once we finishedpriming each of the 16
panels (some of which were aslarge as 4’x8’), I outlined thedesigns and color-coded themso that the volunteers couldbegin painting them. We had2-3 days of painting, one anda half days of touch-ups anddetail work, and one and a halfdays of installation. Finally,we clear-coated the panels andinstalled them on the first floorsof the houses.”
Three young girls from theneighborhood came by dailyand watched with great curi-osity as the project unfolded.Lindsay Akens and LiamJohnson of the Arts Commis-sion suggested that the scopeof the project be increased sothat the girls could participatedirectly. Ms. Jardine designedseveral additional panels tocover the basement windowsfor the girls to paint. Mr.Temple noted that the girlswere thrilled to be included,“The excitement on their faceswas phenomenal.”
The houses are adjacent toeach other at 1105 N. Huronand 1109 N. Huron. Anyoneinterested in purchasing andrehabilitating the propertiesis asked to contact the LucasCounty Land Bank at https://lucascountylandbank.org/
tion – who livewith pre-existingconditions.
While Re-publicans go tocourt to destroyUS healthcare,House Demo-crats voted onDay One of thisnew Congress tothrow the full le-gal weight of theHouse of Representativesagainst this disastrous GOPlawsuit.”
If the Trump Administrationgets its way:
• 741,000 Ohioans wouldlose their health coverage, lead-ing to a 105% increase in theuninsured rate.
• 4,830,000 Ohioans withpre-existing conditions and willlose their protections, along with130 million nationwide.
• 81,000 young Ohioansunder the age of 26 would losethe ability to remain on theirparents’ health insurance.
• Insurance companieswould be able to charge peopleover the age of 50 a $4,000 “AgeTax,” including $3,329 in Ohio.
• Insurance companieswould once again have thepower to put annual or life-time limits on coverage for as
many as4 , 1 5 4 , 0 0 0O h i o a n s ,even thosewho get theiri n s u r a n c ethrough theiremployer.
• 151,026Ohioans inthe market-place wouldpay more for
coverage without access tohealth insuranceaffordability tax credits.
• 214,388 Ohio seniorswould have to pay more forprescription drugs.
“I will continue to standstrong against the TrumpAdministration’s immoralattempts to destroy Ohioansaccess to quality, affordablehealth care,” Rep. Kapturcontinued. “House Demo-crats are taking action to lowerhealthcare costs and prescrip-tion drug prices whilestrengthening protections forhardworking Americans incommunities across the U.S.living with pre-existing con-ditions. We will continue todeliver for the Americanpeople and ensure that highquality healthcare remains aright, not a privilege, for all.”

CHICAGO, July 12, 2019(AP): A federal law thatDonald Trump used in justi-fying the separation of mi-grant parents and children atthe border last year is creat-ing waves on the 2020 cam-paign trail, with some Demo-crats vowing to do away withit completely.
During the first televisedpresidential debate, Demo-cratic candidate JulianCastro promised to “termi-nate” the law thatcriminalizes unauthorizedborder crossings and chal-lenged others to do the same.Several candidates on thestage of the first debate nightsaid they agreed. By Thurs-day, all but one Democraticcandidate onstage said theywould make illegal bordercrossings a civil, not, crimi-nal offense.
The debates gave promi-nence to a law that’s beenpart of border enforcementfor decades, but rarely hasreceived this level of na-tional attention.
Here’s a closer look at thelaw:
WHAT IS THE LAW?The law is called “illegal
entry,” and it makes unau-thorized border crossings acrime. The law specificallybars entry into the U.S. atplaces other than throughports of entry, like an airportor bridge on the U.S.-Mexi-can border. A violation ofthe law, also known as Sec-tion 1325 [8 USC Section1325], is a misdemeanor witha penalty of six months inprison, though most are sen-tenced to time served. A sec-ond offense, or illegal re-en-try, is a felony.
A huge THANK YOU toeveryone who came out to theLights for Liberty vigil held onJuly 12th, 2019, in Toledo, Ohio.Thank you to the Indivisiblegroup for initiating and organiz-ing, as well as all the other spon-sors, this national event that gavelong overdue recognition, to themany lives that have been lost-and those that the media mostrecently published- of childrenand families wanting to live freefrom harm and in prosperity.
And, a THANK YOU to theindividual who walked past thecrowd and shouted, “You allwant to say and do something-now? This has been going on fora long time… you should havebeen doing something a longtime ago!”
Because, that individual isRIGHT! What is happening atthe southern border is not a newphenomenon, it has been goingon for a very, very, long time. Infact, deaths along the southernborder started during the Mexi-can-American war and contin-ued after the “Peace” Treaty ofGuadalupe Hidalgo in 1848 toour present day.
This is how the U.S. acquiredmuch of Texas, Arizona, Califor-nia, Colorado, Nevada, NewMexico, Utah, and Wyoming.The Rio Grande becomes theU.S. southern border and mostpeople along the border becameU.S. citizens- even if they wereMexican citizens (or dual-citi-zen)- like it or not! So, half of thefamilies- and I literally mean-half, would be U.S. citizens andthe other half Mexican (mixed-status) just because they lived onthe others side of the river (el otro
Critics say the U.S. govern-ment doesn’t have the resourcesto prosecute every case and thefocus should be on more dan-gerous criminals.
Advocates say prosecutingthe cases deters “illegal” immi-gration, though data on thetopic is limited.
HOW HAS IT BEEN USED?For decades the government
didn’t actively pursue criminalcases under Section 1325,which has been on the bookssince 1929. Those caught weredeported by immigration en-forcement.
It wasn’t until a 2005 pro-gram started by PresidentGeorge W. Bush, vowing tocurb illegal immigration, thatthe number of criminal pros-ecutions soared.
With “Operation Stream-line,” large groups of peoplewere tried all at once and slappedwith misdemeanors. There werejust under 40,000 criminal pros-ecutions for immigration thatyear, and up to 90,000 underformer President BarackObama in 2013, according to aresearch organization at Syra-cuse University.
WHAT’S HAPPENINGNOW?
The law generated interna-tional headlines last year whenTrump rolled out his “zero tol-erance policy,” vowing to pros-ecute first time offenders withsix months in prison. Immi-grant parents arriving at theborder with their children werehauled into court and pros-ecuted for “illegal” entry, andchildren were separated fromthem.
Thousands of children wereseparated from their parentsbefore Trump backtracked andsigned an executive order stop-
ping the separations amidwidespread outrage over thepractice. Shortly after, a judgealso ruled that families couldonly be split in limited cir-cumstances.
Under Trump, the totalnumber of immigration-re-lated criminal prosecutionsreached around 100,000 in2018, which includes Sec-tion 1325 cases.
Repealing the law wouldrequire Congress to act.
HAS THE LAW GENER-ATED CONTROVERSYPREVIOUSLY?
One year ago, defenselawyers lashed out at how theJustice Department was pros-ecuting illegal entry in fed-eral courtrooms as OperationStreamline expanded to SanDiego. California was a long-time holdout against the massillegal entry prosecutions infederal court that were thenorm in other border statessince the Bush administra-tion. That changed with “zerotolerance,” and the prosecu-tions were brought to SanDiego.
There were no illegal en-try cases in February 2018 inthe Southern District of Cali-fornia, but more than 800 byJune as family separationreached its peak.
Critics say the mass hear-ings violate the due processof immigrants. ReubenCamper Cahn, executive di-rector of Federal Defendersof San Diego Inc., invokedthe “separate but equal” doc-trine last year in arguing thatimmigrants in the OperationStreamline proceedings werebeing treated differently fromthe citizen population incourts.
lado).Spanish would remain the
first language in the home re-gardless of citizenship status;one of the many reasons so manypeople speak Spanish in southTexas. And, no one cared thatour new Mexican American citi-zens could speak, read, and orunderstand what was going on,have legal representation, oreven have a choice or voiceregarding their legal or politicalstatus.
In fact, people living alongthe U.S.-Mexico border for yearshave witnessed (as I have) fami-lies and individuals walking,swimming, rafting, and unfortu-nately sometimes floating (evenin broad daylight) across theRio Grande from Mexico to theU.S. Because, Mexicans cannotjust come to a U.S. port of entryand ask to be granted “refugee”status.
So, although the Mexicanmay be from a state where crime,gangs, and corruption of thepolitical system and law enforce-ment are at their highest, allgovernments still expectspeople to apply for refugee sta-tus in their home country, totravel to the embassy for paper-work and interviews, and to paylarge amounts of fees to the gov-ernment and attorneys to pro-cess the paperwork.
While, children and familiesare expected to wait- and justkeep waiting- for years in thesame place that is a threat to theirlife and the life of their childrenand families. Regardless, theystill have to wait, and wait, andwait for that letter (if you stillhave a house) or that call from
your attorney (if you stillhave one) for, in mostcases over 10 years, ORthey do the unthinkableand flee.
They leave everythingand everyone behind,taking only what theycan carry in a small plas-tic grocery bag or in theirarms or womb such as achild or unborn baby.They will travel for days,sleep outdoors in the heatand weather, pay peopletheir “tolls” along theway for “safe” harbor or aride to a port of entry andbeyond. And, unfortu-nately, UNTOLD NUM-BERS of children and adultshave died and will continue todie- if we don’t fix the(im)migration system and workwith other countries towardensuring that everyone has ameaningful opportunity forpeace and economic prosper-ity.
So, YES- it has been goingon for a long time. And, YES-I am just as angry as that indi-vidual who shouted at the vigilon Friday because IT IS TOOMANY DEATHS!!! FOR TOOLONG!!! And, IMMIGRANTLIVES MATTER!!!

Explains: The law criminalizing improperborder crossingsBy SOPHIA TAREEN, Associated Press
The Greyhound Connection Journal #19By/Por Linda Alvarado-Arce
muchas vidas que se hanperdido y aquellas que losmedios de comunicación másrecientemente publicaron deniños y familias esperando poruna vida libre de daño y enprosperidad.
Y GRACIAS a la personaque pasó junto a la multitud ygritó: “Todos ustedes quierendecir y hacer algo, ¿ahora? Estoha estado ocurriendo durantemucho tiempo... ¡deberías haberestado haciendo algo hacemucho tiempo!”
¡Esa persona está en loCORRECTO! Lo que estásucediendo en la frontera sur noes un fenómeno nuevo, haestado ocurriendo durantemucho, mucho tiempo. Lasmuertes a lo largo de la fronterasur comenzaron durante laguerra entre México y EstadosUnidos y continuaron despuésdel Tratado de “Paz” deGuadalupe Hidalgo en 1848hasta hoy.
Así es como EE. UU.adquirió gran parte de Texas,Arizona, California, Colorado,Nevada, Nuevo México, Utahy Wyoming. Y El Rio Grandese convirtió en la frontera sur delos Estados Unidos y la mayoríade las personas a lo largo de lafrontera se convierten enciudadanos de los EstadosUnidos, incluso si eran
ciudadanos mexicanos (o dedoble nacionalidad). Entonces,la mitad de las familias, yliteralmente quiero decir, lamitad, serían ciudadanosestadounidenses y la otra mitadmexicana (estatus mixto) soloporque vivían en el otro ladodel río.
El español seguiría siendoel primer idioma en el hogar,independientemente del estadode ciudadanía; esa una de lasrazones por las que muchas per-sonas hablan español en el surde Texas. Y a nadie le importóque nuestros nuevosciudadanos mexicoamericanospudieran hablar, leer o entenderlo que estaba sucediendo, tenerrepresentación legal, o inclusotener una opción o voz conrespecto a su estatus legal opolítico.
De hecho, las personas queviven a lo largo de la frontera delos Estados Unidos y Méxicodurante años han sido testigos(como yo) de familias eindividuos que caminan,nadan, hacen embalsar ylamentablemente, a veces,flotan (incluso a plena luz deldía) a través del Río Bravo desdeMéxico hasta los EstadosUnidos. Los mexicanos nopueden simplemente llegar aun puerto de entrada de losEstados Unidos y solicitar que
se les otorgue el estatus de“refugiado.”
Entonces, aunque elmexicano sea de un estadodonde el crimen, las pandillasy la corrupción del sistemapolítico estén en su nivel másalto, deben esperar en su paísde origen para solicitar elestatus de refugiado, viajar a laembajada para entrevistas, ypagar grandes cantidades dedinero al gobierno y losabogados para procesar elpapeleo.
Mientras tanto los niños ylas familias deben esperen du-rante años en el mismo lugarque representa una amenazapara su vida y la vida de sushijos y sus familias. Debenesperar esa carta (si todavíatiene una casa) o la llamada desu abogado (si todavía tienenuna) durante, en la mayoría delos casos, más de 10 años, OHACEN lo impensable yhuyen.
Dejan todo atrás, llevandosolo lo que pueden llevar enuna pequeña bolsa de plásticoo en sus brazos o útero, comoun niño o un bebé por nacer. Viajarán por días, durmiendoal aire libre en el calor y elclima, pagarán a personas sus“peajes” en el camino por elpuesto “seguro” o un viaje a unpuerto de entrada o más allá.Desafortunadamente, millonesde niños y adultos han muertoy seguirán muriendo, si notenemos una solución alsistema de migración y si notrabajamos con otros países paraasegurar que todos tengan unaoportunidad significativa parala paz y la prosperidadeconómica.
Entonces, SI, ha estadoocurriendo por mucho tiempo.Y, SÍ, estoy también muyenojada como la persona quegritó en la vigilia el viernespasado: ¡¡¡SONDEMASIADOS MUERTOS!!!¡¡¡DURANTE MUCHOTIEMPO!!! ¡Y, LA VIDA DELOS IMMIGRANTES ESIMPORTANTE!
¡GRACIAS!

The regional governingbody for North and CentralAmerica and the Caribbeanannounced a new qualify-ing format on Wednesdayand scrapped the earlystages that led to the six-nation final round in placesince the 1998 tournament,known as the hexagonal.

Mexico (No. 18 in theFIFA rankings), the U.S.(30), Costa Rica (39), Ja-maica (54), Honduras (61)
and El Salvador (69) are thecurrent top six, followed byPanama (75), Canada (78),Curacao (79) and Trinidadand Tobago (92).
The U.S. will be trying torebound from its failure toqualify for last year’s tourna-ment in Russia, which endeda streak of seven straightWorld Cup appearances.
Each team in the hex plays10 qualifiers, which will takeplace in September, Octoberand November 2020, and inMarch and September of2021 _ ending 14 monthsbefore the 32-nation tourna-ment in Qatar kicks off inNovember 2022. The topthree nations will qualify.
