The Coalition for Hispanic/Latino Issues and Progress (CHIP) cordially invites the public to its semi-annualCandidates’ Forum and Roundtable, Wednesday, April 10, 2013, 6:30-8:30pm, at St Joseph Community Center,Gould Auditorium, 201 W. 21st Street, Lorain, 44052. Only candidates with primary election opposition areinvited to participate. This year makes the 12th year that CHIP hosts this event, beginning it in the fall of 2001.
Over the years the Candidate Forum has evolved into the foremost candidate event in Lorain County. Theevent is unique in many ways, beginning with the fact that it is videotaped and broadcast over the Lorain CountyCommunity College Cable TV channel throughout Lorain County, giving the candidates maximum free exposure.
For many candidates, it is the first chance that voters get the chance to put together a name with a face. Somecandidates feel that their appearance in the program was the reason for their election to office. In October 2010,the CHIP Candidate Forum was the only venue that hosted a debate between Congressman Betty Sutton and heropponent Tom Ganley.
WEOL radio 930AM tapes the proceedings for future broadcast prior tospecial election day on May 7, 2013.
CHIP was founded in 1984 as a non-partisan organization dedicated topromoting the advancement and well-being of the Lorain County Latinocommunity. Membership is open to all. The Candidate Forum is performedas a service which CHIP provides to the entire Lorain County community,not just the Latino community.
We look forward to seeing you on April 10, 2013.
Sincerely,
Joel Arredondo, PresidentThe Coalition for Hispanic/Latino Issues and Progress

CARACAS, Venezuela 8de abril del 2013 (AP): Cientosde miles de simpatizantes delcandidato opositor HenriqueCapriles tomaron algunas delas principales calles deCaracas para participar en unamarcha en la que proclamaronque con sus votos sacarán delpoder a los seguidores delfallecido presidente HugoChávez el próximo 14 de abril.
“Nos quedó pequeña laavenida Bolívar”, dijo Caprilesel domingo, emocionado porla multitudinariaconcentración en la avenidamás grande del centro de lacapital.
“Hoy las calles de Caracasse llenaron de alegría, hoy lascalles de Caracas se llenaronde esperanza, hoy las calles deCaracas confirman lo que va aocurrir el domingo”, dijoCapriles augurando su triunfo.El también gobernador delestado central de Miranda es elcandidato unitario de lallamada Mesa de UnidadDemocrática, una coalición degrupos opositores compuestapor partidos de izquierda,conservadores moderados ytradicionales.
Agitando banderas de Ven-ezuela y portando pancartasen las que se podían leerconsignas tales como “íNo másodio, divisiones ni violencia!”y “íNo queremos para Venezu-ela el Castro-Comunismo!”,los manifestantes partierondesde diferentes puntos de estaciudad de seis millones depersonas, antes de concentrarseen la avenida Bolívar, unemblemático lugar para lospartidos políticos por susgrandes dimensiones.
La marcha se transformó enuna de las demostraciones defuerza más grandes de laoposición en los últimos años.El acto fue el cierre de campañade Capriles en la capital,aunque todavía se esperanactos en otras ciudades del in-terior del país antes de laselecciones.
Muchos de los partidariosdel líder opositor bailaban alritmo de la canción “MentiraFresca”, cantada por ellegendario salseropuertorriqueño Willie Colón,quien en meses pasados desatóla polémica en Twitter con unchiste que decía que a Venezu-ela lo gobernaban dosmandatarios, uno maduro(Nicolás Maduro) y otropodrido (Chávez), entre otrasbromas derivadas por elsecretismo que rodeó laenfermedad del ahora fallecidopresidente y fuertes opinionessobre el gobierno venezolano.
Colón volvió a la carga enla red de microblogueo con untema de salsa en el que se burladel presidente encargado ycandidato oficialista Maduroy cuya letra incluye críticastales como “‘Mentira Fresca’cómete tu ensalada. Le pusistede todo pero no sabe a nada,‘Mentira Fresca’ tu proyectoestá fracasado. Que si Cristo,que Fidel, que si Stalin, queMao... mi pana, eso es un pulpocon tentáculos que llegandesde Irán hasta el norte deCorea. Adicionalmente,amenazando toda AméricaLatina y lo que trae essufrimiento y pobreza”.
“Cuba está a cargo delembrollo, con su lacayo, el‘toripollo’ (Maduro)”, agregóColón en la canción.
Capriles ha acusadorepetidamente a Maduro dementir respecto a supuestosplanes conspirativos y sobrelos resultados de las iniciativasgubernamentales destinadas aresolver problemas urgentes,incluso frecuentes cortes deenergía, la deterioradainfraestructura, la escasez dealimentos básicos y la inflaciónde dos dígitos.
Capriles calificó de“contradictorio y ridículo” elanuncio de Maduro sobre unsupuesto plan para atentar con-tra su vida. “Hace 10 díasdijeron que habían planes deatentar contra Capriles y elproblema no es que maten aCapriles, aquí el problema esque están matando al pueblode Venezuela. Sal del aireacondicionado que aquí caen50 hermanos todos los días”.
Horas más tarde en un actode campaña en el estadoagrícola de Portuguesa,Maduro acusó a Armando Bri-quet, cercano colaborador deCapriles y ex director delcomando de Campaña en el2012, de ser el enlace entreCapriles y supuestosmercenarios salvadoreños parasu magnicidio.
“Yo voy a decir quien esArmando Briquet... ArmandoBriquet es el asesor más cercano,que ejecuta todas las ordenes yes el amigo más íntimo quetiene Capriles para cuestionespolíticas, eso lo sabe todo elmundo cercano a la derecha”.
“Armando Briquet es el en-lace que puso Capriles con losmercenarios que ha mandadola derecha salvadoreña parasabotear el sistema eléctrico,mercenarios para asesinarhombres y mujeres en Venezu-ela y que traen un plan paramatarme a mí”, dijo Maduro,quien expresó que en principiotrato de alertar a Capriles “por
si acaso él estaba siendotomado desprevenido, perome dicen mis fuentes que elmismo está informado de esto,que colocó a Armando Bri-quet por los lazos que lo unencon él a dirigir este planmacabro”.
Los candidatos Maduro yCapriles, incluso antes delcomienzo oficial de lacampaña el 2 de abril, hancruzado diversas acusacionesque han elevado latemperatura política del país.
El presidente tambiéndenunció el jueves, sinmostrar pruebas, que laoposición estaríaorganizando un “apagón gen-eral” como parte de unsupuesto complot para afectarlas elecciones.
Sucesor de ChávezLos venezolanos acudirán
a las urnas para elegir alsucesor de Chávez, quefalleció debido un cáncer quele diagnosticaron en junio de2011. La Constitucióncontempla que las eleccionesse realicen dentro de los 30días siguientes a la ausenciadel jefe de Estado.
Aunque hay escasez deencuestas confiables, en partepor el limitado tiempo pararealizar un amplio trabajo decampo durante esta brevecampaña, la mayoría de lossondeos dan como favorito aMaduro para vencer a Caprilesen los comicios del 14 deabril. Un estudio de una de lasprincipales encuestadoras lo-cales, Datanálisis, reveló queel presidente encargadoalcanzó en marzo un respaldode 49,2% y supera por 14,4puntos porcentuales a sucontendor opositor.
La encuesta de Datanálisis,que se realizó vía telefónicadel 11 y 13 de marzo entreunas 800 personas y que tieneun margen de error de 3,40%,determinó que Capriles tiene34,8%.
Algunos analistas estimanque los resultados electoralespodrían ser ajustados.
En octubre pasado, Chávezse impuso con más de ochomillones de votos, mientrasque Capriles, que entoncestambién fungió comocandidato unitario de laoposición, consiguió pocomás de seis millones, aunquenunca antes un contrincantedel mandatario venezolanollegó a acercársele tanto.
Maduro, por su parte,enfrenta las difíciles tareas deconseguir apoyo en un paísprofundamente dividido ymantener la unidad dentro de
las filas de su partido,conformado por grupos que vandesde los civiles de izquierdaradical hasta los militares pocodados al socialismo.
Se espera que Maduro, unex conductor de autobús quecomenzó su carrera política dela mano de Chávez -fungiócomo vicepresidente y comocanciller por seis años_, sumemasivamente los votos de losseguidores del fallecidomandatario, muchos de loscuales se benefician de losgenerosos programas socialesdel gobierno que él creó bajo labandera socialista. Maduro fueescogido por Chávez como susucesor en diciembre en la quefue su última aparición con vidapor televisión.
Capriles afirmó que no lequitará nada a los beneficiariosde los programas sociales delgobierno, incluso uno queofrece atención médica gratuitacon la ayuda de médicoscubanos.
“Si hay un médico cubanoque está prestándole servicio alos venezolanos, yo les daré lanacionalidad, para que esténen un país donde haydemocracia. Eso sí, saldrán losmilitares cubanos que estánaquí”, manifestó.
Muchos venezolanossostienen que los programassociales tienen un marcadosesgo ideológico.
“Estamos marchandoporque este país no se mereceun régimen castro-comunista,vine a marchar porque quieropara mi país y mis hijos unrégimen de libertades, sinsectarismos, donde no se
discrimine a nadie por lo quecree o por lo que dice”, dijoPaola Rodríguez, una ama decasa de 37 años que marchabaacompañada de sus dos hijos,de 12 y 9 años.
“Creo que podemos ganar,Chávez ya no está y hasta loschavistas saben que los quequedaron, Maduro y sucombo, son los mismos que elpueblo chavista decía que ellosengañaban al presidente y queson los responsables de quetantas cosas no se hicieran”,dijo Jesús Martínez, maestrojubilado de 69 años, quienmarchó acompañado de suesposa María, de 71 años, tresde sus hijos y dos de sus seisnietos.
“Los venezolanosañoramos paz y tranquilidad,estamos cansados de tantaviolencia y tanto odio quelos chavistas sembraron y noha hecho otra cosa quecultivarlo con un discurso dedivisión y enfrentamientopermanente en estos últimos14 años”, acotó
Román Velásquez, quien sequejó que estuvo varado en eltráfico casi cuatro horas, semostró sorprendido que lascalles de Caracas estuviesendesbordadas de simpatizantesde Capriles.
La autopista que enlaza aCaracas con el occidente delpaís estuvo parcialmentecerrada durante horas por lamañana.
“Cuando llegamos aCaracas vimos que la cola laprovocaron unos supuestosobreros que pintaban brocalesy atravesaron unos camiones,
para colmo el metro tenía unafalla eléctrica y estaba parado,todo por supuesto porcasualidad”, ironizó.
“Hemos perdido el miedoy estamos demostrando quesomos capaces de superarcualquier obstáculo... Tengofe que vamos a acudirmasivamente a votar”, dijoVelásquez.
El candidato opositor pidióa los empleados públicos asalir a votar sin temor.
“Esta lucha es una luchaespiritual. Solamente el diabloes capaz de usar el poder paraamedrentar a un ser humano”,dijo Capriles en su arenga.“Tenemos un pueblo que estáclamando por soluciones y ungobierno que se llenó decorrupción, de maldad”.
Una ama de casa de 46 añosy esposa de un guardia deseguridad de la corporaciónestatal petróleos de Venezu-ela S.A, afirmó que su maridodice que en su trabajo “ellostienen que vestir de rojo (elcolor del movimientooficialista y) nadie puede decirnada en contra del gobierno”.
“Mi esposo no puede decirnada porque vive del gobierno.Él va a votar por Maduro porquedice que no puede perder eltrabajo por un voto. Yo sí voya votar por Capriles porquesoy rebelde”, dijo la mujer,que no quiso dar su nombrepor miedo que despidan a suesposo. Estaba llegando a lamarcha de Capriles con su hijade 14 años. Para la ocasióncompraron pitos yprendedores con la foto delcandidato opositor.

CHICAGO, April 1, 2013(AP): A new, wide-ranginggroup of Illinois-based busi-nesses, politicians and otherssaid Monday that they hopeto recruit 300 CEOs and 1,000small businesses in the stateto push for “common sense”bipartisan immigration re-form.
The Illinois Business Im-migration Coalition in-cludes leaders from Peoria-based Caterpillar Inc. as wellas Motorola Solutions Inc.,the University of Illinois,trade groups, and immigra-tion-rights advocates. Chi-cago Mayor Rahm Emanuelbacks the coalition.
The group’s push comesas Congress gets ready tohammer out the details of apotential immigration lawoverhaul. Business and laborleaders last week agreed on abroad outline.
Caterpillar CEO DouglasOberhelman spoke Mondayat a kickoff event in Chicago,and said the heavy-equip-ment manufacturer hastrouble filling both high- andlower-skill jobs and that im-migration reform could help.The company, he said, regu-larly puts interns from abroadand who are working on de-grees at U.S. universities inhigher-skill positions.
“They want to stay andmake a real contribution toour company and our coun-try,” he said. “But it’s noteasy. The process is tedious.Some Caterpillar employeesfrom China and India havebeen waiting more than eightyears for a green card thatwould give them permanentresidency. These are valuedemployees, and we lose
WASHINGTON, DC,April 3, 2013 (AP): Sweep-ing immigration legislationtaking shape in the Senatewill aim to overhaul thenation’s agriculture workerprogram to create a steadysupply of labor for farmersand growers, who rely morethan any other industry onworkers who are living inthe country illegally.
Farmworkers alreadyhere would get a speedierpath to legal status than otherimmigrants here withoutdocumentation, and a likelynew visa program wouldmake it easier for foreignworkers to come to the U.S.Policymakers aim to installsuch workers in place of thehalf or more of the nation’sfarm labor workforce esti-mated to be in the countrywithout documentation.
Negotiators have beenworking to finalize an agree-ment in time for the measureto be included in bipartisanlegislation expected to bereleased next week, but dis-agreements on wages andnumbers of visas are prov-ing tough to solve.
Labor groups are accus-ing growers of pushing tolower farmworkers’ wages,while growers dispute thatand say they want to pay afair wage. Meanwhile, laboris resisting growers’ attemptsto increase the potentialnumbers of new workers whowould come in, as growersargue their industry’s viabil-ity depends on a strong newlabor supply.
“It comes down to either
them.”Emanuel said the group
needs to be a large, statewideand bipartisan coalition,something strong enough forlawmakers in Washington,DC who are facing what theymay see as “a tough vote” toknow they have widespreadsupport back home.
“There’s a lot of forces thatdon’t want to see this hap-pen,” Emanuel said. “This is ahuge opportunity for us andwe should not let it get squan-dered because of politics.”
The coalition also includesformer Gov. Jim Edgar; repre-sentatives from DePaul Uni-versity and the University ofChicago; trade organizationsrepresenting the state’s manu-facturers, hotels, restaurantsand hospitals; the Illinois Coa-lition for Immigrant and Refu-gee Rights; and others.
The push for nationwideimmigration reform gainedmomentum over the weekendwhen business and labor lead-ers agreed to a plan for a newvisa program that would al-low foreign workers into thecountry, eventually cappingthe figure at 200,000 a year.Other provisions expected inlegislation that could be in-troduced next week are morevisas for high-tech workers,new farmworker visas and afaster path to citizenship forimmigrants already in the U.S.
Oberhelman said the newIllinois coalition supports up-ping the number of visas avail-able as well as the idea of“stapling a green card” to ad-vanced math and science de-grees awarded from U.S. uni-versities.
The coalition, he said, alsowants to see the E-Verify sys-
tem—used to check the im-migration status of prospec-tive employees—to be sim-plified so that smaller firmscan use it.
Patrick Magoon, CEO Ofthe Ann & Robert H. LurieChildren’s Hospital of Chi-cago, agrees with Oberhelmanthat hiring for some higher-end positions can be difficultunder current limits on immi-grant applicants. Magoon saidMonday there’s a shortage,for instance, of pediatric spe-cialists.
“Immigration reform is es-sential for recruiting the verybest and the brightest at alllevels to our institutions,” hesaid.
The deal reached over theweekend is backed by theAFL-CIO, but organized la-bor groups aren’t part of thenew Illinois’ coalition.
Coalition members saidthey’re working with theunion. The Illinois AFL-CIOdid not return a call from TheAssociated Press.
Robert Bruno, a professorof labor and employment re-lations at the University ofIllinois, said forming a state-level group to back immigra-tion changes—and makingsure labor unions partici-pate—could be useful.
“Building a good work-ing relationship at the statelevel could help position astate to use these work visasin a way that they’re intended... and do it without doing anydamage to the working stan-dards in the state of Illinois,”he said, noting that unionscan negotiate pay guaranteesthat prevent employers fromhiring foreign workers purelyto save on wages.
we’re importing our labor orwe’re importing our food, andif we don’t have access to alegal supply of labor we willstart going offshore,” said KristiBoswell, director of congres-sional relations for the Ameri-can Farm Bureau Federation.
The issue has gotten littlepublic attention in an immi-gration debate focused on se-curing the border, creating apath to citizenship for the 11million immigrants living inthe country sans documenta-tion, and designing a new visaprogram for low-skilled work-ers outside of agriculture. Butfor states from California toGeorgia to Florida with boom-ing agriculture industries, it’s acritical part of the puzzle.
At least 50 percent and asmuch as 70 or 80 percent of thenation’s farmworkers are heresans documentation, accord-ing to labor and industry esti-mates. Growers say they need abetter way to hire labor legally,and advocates say workers canbe exploited and need betterprotections and a way to earnpermanent residence.
“One thing that we know isthat there’s not an industry thatwill benefit more from a newimmigration program than ag-riculture,” said GievKashkooli, United Farm Work-ers vice president. “The prob-lem is industry needs peoplewho are both willing and ableto do the work. And it’s diffi-cult work.”
H2A VisasThe reason agriculture uses
so much undocumented laborhas to do with the need for
workers, but also the inad-equacy of current immigra-tion programs. There is a 10-month visa program forfarmworkers, called the H2Avisa, but growers argue it’s sohard to use that once they’vecompleted the paperworkwhatever crop they neededpicked may well have with-ered.
There were about 55,000H2A visas issued in 2011,representing a small percent-age of the nation’s approxi-mately 2 millionfarmworkers.
Part of the solution, grow-ers and unions say, is to createa more permanent agricul-tural workforce. Senatorswould likely accomplish thisby giving a new “blue card”visa granting legal status tofarm workers who’ve workedin the industry for at least twoyears and intend to remain init for at least five years more.
At that point, potentially,these workers could becomeeligible for green cards, whichallow permanent residencyand eventual citizenship—faster than the 10-year path toa green card that other immi-grants in the country withoutdocumentation are expectedto face under the Senate im-migration bill.
Separately, growers arepushing to replace the H2Avisa program with an entirelynew program with visas offer-ing multiyear stays. But thereis disagreement over howmany such visas would beoffered and how much moneyworkers would make—the

DETROIT, April 4, 2013(AP): More than 40 yearshave passed since the re-cording of Marvin Gaye’s“Save the Children,” but areplay of the song in thestudio where it was recordedcompressed time andbrought tears to the eyes ofLouvain Demps.
Demps was no mere fanvisiting what’s now theMotown Historical Mu-seum. She was one of thewomen singing the angelic,high harmonies on the re-cording—and hearing it inHitsville USA’s Studio Awas too much.
“It’s my heart, it’s myheart,” she said.
For Demps and her fel-low Andantes, Jackie Hicksand Marlene Barrow-Tate,moments like these havebeen private, since the widerworld knew only theirvoices, not their faces. Butnow in their 70s, the unsungbacking group who sang onthousands of Motown songsis finally getting acclaimfor its contributions to thegroundbreaking, chart-top-ping music made in Detroitin the 1960s and early ‘70sbefore the label moved toLos Angeles.
The trio gathered re-cently to see the exhibit,“Motown Girl Groups: TheGrit, the Glamour, theGlory,” which will runthrough the summer. TheAndantes are featured—with equal billing—along-side the Supremes,Vandellas, Marvelettes, andVelvelettes.
The joyous but rare re-union was made possibleby a sad event the day be-fore: the funeral of formerMiracles member BobbyRogers. For the Andantes, itmade their meeting morepoignant.
“It is unfortunate that somany are gone and thankGod that we are still here—all of us—to be able to seethis and see our dream come
true,” said Bar-row-Tate, whostill lives in De-troit, as doesHicks. The two areretired, butDemps, who livesnear Atlanta, stillsings solo or withothers.
The Andanteswere the go-tobackup singers formost Motown art-ists, includingGaye, StevieWonder, The FourTops and the girlgroups them-selves. “Save the Children”came from Gaye’s “What’sGoing On,” one of Motown’sgreatest—and last—albumsrecorded in Detroit. The An-dantes sang backup on manyof the record’s cuts—includ-ing the title track—and eventraveled with Gaye to hishometown of Washington,D.C., in 1972 to perform thedisc in its entirety at theKennedy Center.
Motown Museum offi-cials say the trio, almost al-ways anonymously, sang onmore songs than any othergroup at Motown. They werethe female and vocal equiva-lent to the Funk Brothers, thelabel’s house band that itselfwas largely anonymous inits time but gained acclaimthrough the 2002 documen-tary film, “Standing in theShadows of Motown.”
The Andantes’ peerlessability to vocally blend—not only with each other butalso with stars such as Gaye,The Four Tops, SmokeyRobinson, and the Miraclesand many others—was oneof the factors that kept themin demand behind thescenes. They were so suc-cessful that they were seen asessential backup artists, andthat limited them from grow-ing more.
The Andantes don’t ex-actly sing the same old songnow when it comes to how
they felt about standing andsinging in the shadows.
“We did not mind not hav-ing our name on someoneelse’s record,” Hicks said.
“I did,” said Demps, whohad dreamed the Andantesmight one day be like theSupremes. “I alwaysminded.”
“Well, I didn’t,” said Hicks,who was seconded by Bar-row-Tate.
Allen Rawls, the museum’sacting chief executive, saidMotown Records founderBerry Gordy understood therole everyone played in cre-ating and maintainingMotown’s sound.
“The Andantes ... were soinstrumental to the founda-tion of the Motown sound,”Rawls said. “Imagine if a songlike ‘Standing in the Shad-ows of Love’ was out there(without them). The harmo-nies behind it may not be thesame thing. That’s why theywere established in that par-ticular role, helping to createthe foundation.”
Gordy called the Andan-tes “wonderful people” in arecent interview and fondlyremembered their contribu-tions: “I recall so many of thesounds from The Four Tops.”
So does Abdul “Duke”Fakir, the group’s lone sur-viving original member. Herecalls the trio’s work on“Baby I Need Your Loving,”
The Four Tops’ first hit.“They were just as impor-
tant in their background (part)as The Four Tops,” he said.“Their voices on that songmade that song.”
The Andantes lovingly re-call their work with The FourTops and Gaye, who was fa-tally shot by his father in 1984after a violent argument.Demps said the Tops “alwaysgave us a bonus of every hitthey had” and “were alwaysfair.” They all spoke of Gaye’sintensity, with Hicks in par-ticular recalling the sessionsfor “I Heard it Through theGrapevine.”
“I loved Marvin, loved re-cording with Marvin,” shesaid. “He was a perfectionist,and we enjoyed that with him.Everything just had to be justright for Marvin, and for thatwe are grateful.”
As a tour group gatheredin Motown’s original StudioA, a guide led them in a spir-ited take of The Temptations’“My Girl.” Sitting alongsidewere the Andantes, smilingand singing every word. It’sthe closest the “girls” getthese days to a musical re-union, though Demps doesn’tgive up hope.
“My dream hasn’t endedyet,” she said. “It still goes onfor me.”

April 4, 2013: A localgroup will be hosting aWine, Cheese, and Choco-late Event on Friday, April12, 2013, at Belmont Coun-try Club from 7:00 – 10:00PM. All proceeds from theevent will go directly to theCystic Fibrosis Foundationto be used to research a curefor the disease.
Tickets are $30 each andmay be purchased in advanceby sending an email [email protected] orcalling 419-873-5779.
Cystic fibrosis is an in-herited chronic disease thataffects the lungs and diges-tive system of about 30,000children and adults in theUnited States (70,000 world-wide). A defective gene andits protein product cause thebody to produce unusuallythick, sticky mucus that:
clogs the lungs and leads tolife-threatening lung infec-tions and obstructs the pan-creas and stops natural en-zymes from helping the bodybreak down and absorb food.
In the 1950s, few childrenwith cystic fibrosis lived toattend elementary school.Today, advances in researchand medical treatments havefurther enhanced and ex-tended life for children andadults with CF. Many peoplewith the disease can now ex-pect to live into their 30s, 40sand beyond.
A total of 160 patientswith Cystic Fibrosis from thisarea are cared for by the localCystic Fibrosis Center at theToledo Hospital. Violet JaneO’Leary, Perrysburg, Ohio,is counted in this number.
Violet’s family was dev-astated when they learned of
Violet’s inherited diseasewhen she was just 10 daysold. Simple acts of breath-ing and eating are a chal-lenge for her each day. At17 months old she is nowtaking 20 – 25 pills a day inorder to digest her food andhas a minimum of two 45minute breathing treat-ments each day to keep herlungs clear.
Advances continue to bemade in finding a cure, buthelp is needed now, morethan ever, to keep up themomentum of this life-sav-ing research. We’re certainthat a cure is just around thecorner but it can’t come soonenough for someone livingwith Cystic Fibrosis.

The Toledo Public Schools(TPS) board of education chosea younger, internal candidateas interim superintendent overa more seasoned educator fromsuburban Cleveland at a spe-cial meeting Monday after-noon, April 8, 2013.
The school board broughtback both candidates for a sec-ond interview behind closeddoors before deciding to entercontract negotiations with TPSAssistant Superintendent Dr.Romules Durant. Public senti-ment has been building in re-cent weeks to give the post tothe 37-year old Toledo native,a graduate of Waite High Schoolwho earned all three of his col-lege degrees at the Universityof Toledo.
Dr. Durant beat out Cleve-land Heights-UniversityHeights Schools Superinten-dent Douglas Heuer who hasserved as superintendent inthree Northeast Ohio schooldistricts since his retirementfrom a suburban Columbusschool system in 2003.
In his application for theTPS post, Heuer cited he hasled all three school districts toan “Excellent” rating on theirdistrict report cards, success-fully passed levies, and devel-oped comprehensive facilitiesplans. Heuer, 63, has spent atotal of 40 years as an educator,ten of that as a teacher and theremainder as an administrator.He’s also spent time as an ad-junct college professor whotaught mathematics.
Brenda Hill, TPS board ofeducation president, stated lastweek the eventual selectionmust be a good fit with thedistrict, “someone knowledge-able, with ideas on what weneed to do, where we need togo, and how to help us do it.”She also didn’t seem to thinkage and experience would bemuch of a factor in the board’sdecision-making.
“It’s just the personality ofthe person, the abilities of theperson, the desires of the per-son, just the plain know-how,”said Ms. Hill after the first roundof interviews last week. ”Ifyou’re a leader, you’re a leaderno matter how old you are.”
Dr. Durant will learn along-side outgoing TPS Superinten-dent Dr. Jerome Pecko, thentake over once he retires at theend of July. Durant is one of
three young school adminis-trators Pecko appointed tocabinet posts, who are cred-ited as being the architects ofthe district’s transformationplan. Durant’s appointment asDr. Pecko’s successor virtu-ally ensures that plan will con-tinue to move forward. Fund-ing constraints have slowedthe hoped-for implementationtimeline.
“We’re recognizing that wehave someone among us, whowe feel has abilities,” said Ms.Hill at a press conference fol-lowing the selection of Durant.“I think some people are bornwith leadership qualities, andwe know he has leadershipabilities. He’s worked, and he’sshown it, and we believe hewould be a good leader for oursystem.”
“For me to reinvest in thedistrict, to provide the thingsthat we afforded to me—it’s apleasure, and I’m excited toget it moving and get thingsstarted,” said Dr. Durant dur-ing the same press conference.
The school board plans tostart contract talks as soon aspossible. There’s likelihoodthat Durant will sign a one-year contract as the interimsuperintendent. The boardcould approve a contract assoon as the next regular meet-ing April 22.
Dr. Durant proudly pointsout he’s a “homegrown” edu-cator—a TPS product wholater played outside line-backer on the UT Rocket foot-ball team—and credits his ath-letic career for his interest inexamining data and the num-bers “for tendencies and sta-tistical probabilities.”
The assistant superinten-dent may have been dubbed“Dr. Data” by his colleaguesas a result, but it’s a nicknamehe doesn’t seem to mind.
Dry-erase boards adornthe walls of his office at theTPS Administration Build-ing—each one loaded withthe statistics of the district’s24 elementary and six highschools. Every day is spenttracking the attendance, aca-demics, and other metricsused by the district and theOhio Dept. of Education tomeasure student perfor-mance.
While in college, Dr. Durantturned the football field into a
spreadsheet—looking for hu-man tendencies of how an of-fensive coordinator would callcertain plays, then put himselfin the right position to make atackle. He stated the same kindof study of statistical probabili-ties can be applied to TPS stu-dent performance.
“You can develop a statisti-cal probability or a habit thatkids do that allow you to pre-vent an action or provide anintervention to correct. We’reahead in the game because datais being used at various lev-els,” he said. “At the end of theday, when you can own thatprocess of understanding dataand implement strategies tomake impact, you’re going tohave huge rates of return whenyou’re talking about value-added (student) growth.”
Dr. Durant and Schol-arships
While Dr. Durant used anathletic scholarship to fund hisundergraduate studies, heearned academic scholarshipsto pay for his master’s and doc-torate degrees at the Universityof Toledo. But he didn’t qualifyfor nearly a dozen different oneswhen he went to apply— soinstead, he applied for all ofthem. It took his entire Christ-mas break—but it paid off inthe end.
“I applied for a scholar-ship for single mothers. I ap-plied for a scholarship for im-poverished families. I appliedfor them all,” he recalled witha laugh. “They were upsetthat I applied for all of them,even though I didn’t qualify.I cut the conversation off andsaid ‘All you have to do is tellme no. You tell me no beforeI tell myself no. You guysgave me no option becausenone of them apply to me.’”
Dr. Durant stated he andthe financial aid officerreached an understanding anended the situation peace-fully.
“You know what hap-pened two months later? I gota scholarship,” he said with agrin and a hearty chuckle.“So what did I do the nextyear? I did it all over again.”
Dr. Durant received a schol-arship the following year andUT officials ended up chang-ing their policy to using oneapplication form for multiple
scholarships. He now uses thatstory as a motivational speakerand a lesson to TPS studentsand current UT football play-ers, among others.
“There are two messagesthere—don’t tell yourself ‘no’and be a game-changer. Anddon’t allow an institution todefine you,” he said. “Defineyourself and allow the institu-tion to change their descrip-tion, because you instilled inthem something that theydidn’t see prior to that.”
Dr. Durant is starting toreceive praise for an individualinitiative to which he has dedi-cated much of his personal lifeoutside his professional ca-reer. He helped to form chap-ters of the Student African-American Brotherhood(SAAB) and Young Women ofExcellence (YWOE) at each ofthe TPS high schools, advis-ing and mentoring young menand women on how to becomesuccessful adults.
The assistant superinten-dent, who’s still single, admit-ted SAAB and YWOE “prettymuch take up my evenings
and weekends.” Some of thestudents even accompany himwhen he goes to the gym towork out.
“We have a failure involv-ing the disconnect of ouryouth engaging in positiveinteractions and thateverything’s always nega-tive. We have to model andprovide a venue for them todo these things,” he said.
“Many kids have neverworn a tie before or never worna skirt, because we’ve neverprovided them opportunitiesto do it. We’ve just assumedthey want to wear baggy pantsand dress certain ways, so Iprovided them opportunities.When they wear that uniform,they have a totally differentface and a totally differentmindset, because they feel thisis my business attire and I’mcoming to do business.”
“Dr. Durant has taken it to awhole new level with SAABand YWOE—and that ischanging the culture of thisdistrict,” said TPS Chief Aca-demic Officer Jim Gault.“You’re taking kids who had a
problem in terms of identity, interms of looking at where theybelong, that now are being rec-ognized for doing positivethings and having that sense ofbelonging. It’s powerful stuff.It will continue to grow, be-cause those students will comeback and get involved. It’schanging the landscape ofToledo.”
Dr. Durant’s growing repu-tation as a vocal, local leaderand change agent had commu-nity sentiment growing for theschool board to name him asDr. Pecko’s successor—evenif it is on an interim basis. Hisstatus as a Toledo native, TPSgraduate, and former UT ath-lete seemed to only enhancethat line of thinking to makehim the next school superin-tendent.
Even long-time TPS criticWarren Woodberry wrote apublic letter of support for Dr.Durant, stating that he “caresabout the students and has aproven track record in workingwith them. He understands ourcommunity, our state, and thestate rules and laws.”

Volunteers/Vendors Needed forthe MidWest LatinoFest
Saturday, June 8, 2013at Promenade Park, ToledoIf interested, call Nanetteat 419-944-6430
WASHINGTON, DC,March 14, 2013 (AP): Wel-come to the new off-whiteUnited States.
A historic decline in thenumber of U.S. whites and thefast growth of Latinos are blur-ring traditional black-whitecolor lines, testing the limitsof civil rights laws and reshap-ing political alliances as“whiteness” begins to lose itsnumerical dominance.
Long in coming, the demo-graphic shift was most vividlyillustrated in last November’sre-election of President BarackObama, the first black presi-dent, despite a historically lowpercentage of white support-ers.
It’s now a potent backdropto the immigration issue be-ing debated in Congress thatcould offer a path to citizen-ship for 11 million mostlyLatino undocumented immi-grants. Also, the SupremeCourt is deciding cases thisterm on affirmative action andvoting rights that could rede-fine race and equality in theU.S.
The latest census data andpolling from The AssociatedPress highlight the historicchange in a nation in whichnon-Latino whites will losetheir majority in the next gen-eration, somewhere around theyear 2043.
Despite being a nation ofimmigrants, America’s tip to awhite minority has never oc-curred in its 237-year historyand will be a first among the
world’s major post-industrialsocieties. Brazil, a develop-ing nation, has crossed thethreshold to “majority-minor-ity” status; a few cities inFrance and England are near,if not past that point.
The international experi-ence and recent U.S. eventspoint to an uncertain futurefor race relations in the UnitedStates.
In Brazil, wheremultiracialism is celebrated,social mobility remainsamong the world’s lowest forblacks while wealth is con-centrated among whites at thetop. In France, race is not re-corded on government cen-sus forms and people share aunified Gallic identity, yethigh levels of racial discrimi-nation persist.
“The American experiencehas always been a story ofcolor. In the 20th century itwas a story of the black-whiteline. In the 21st century we aremoving into a new off-whitemoment,” says MarceloSuárez-Orozco, a global ex-pert on immigration and deanof UCLA’s Graduate Schoolof Education & InformationStudies.
“Numerically, the U.S. isbeing transformed. The ques-tion now is whether our insti-tutions are being transformed,”he said.
The shift is being drivenby the modern wave of U.S.newcomers from LatinAmerica and Asia. Their an-nual inflow of 650,000 people
since 1965, at a rate that’sgrown in recent years, surpassesthe pace of the last great immi-gration wave a century ago.That influx, from 1820 to 1920,brought in Irish, Germans, Ital-ians, and Jews from Europeand made the gateway of EllisIsland, N.Y., an immigrant land-mark, symbolizing freedom,liberty and the US-Americandream.
An equal factor is today’saging white population, mostlybaby boomers, whose comingwave of retirements will createa need for first- and second-generation immigrants to helptake their place in theworkforce.
The numbers alreadydemonstrate that being whiteis fading as a test of US-Ameri-can-ness:
• More U.S. babies are nowborn to minorities than whites,a milestone reached last year.
• More than 45 percent ofstudents in kindergartenthrough 12th grade are minori-ties. The Census Bureauprojects that in five years thenumber of nonwhite childrenwill surpass 50 percent.
• The District of Columbia,Hawaii, California, NewMexico, and Texas have mi-nority populations greater than50 percent. By 2020, eight morestates are projected to join thelist: Arizona, Florida, Georgia,Maryland, Mississippi, Ne-vada, New Jersey, and NewYork. Latinos already outnum-ber whites in New Mexico; Cali-fornia will tip to a Latino plu-
rality next year.• By 2039, racial and eth-
nic minorities will make up amajority of the U.S. working-age population, helping tosupport a disproportionatelyelderly white populationthrough Social Security andother payroll taxes. More than1 in 4 people ages 18-64 willbe Latino.
• The white population,now at 197.8 million, is pro-jected to peak at 200 millionin 2024, before entering asteady decline in absolutenumbers. Currently 63 per-cent of the U.S. population,the white share is expected todrop below 50 percent by 2043,when racial and ethnic mi-norities will collectively be-come a U.S. majority. Hispan-ics will drive most of the mi-nority growth, due mostly tohigh birth rates, jumping inshare from 17 percent to 26percent.
The pace of assimilationfor today’s Latinos and Asian-Americans is often comparedwith that of the Poles, Irish,Italians, and Jews who arrivedaround the turn of the 20thcentury and eventuallymerged into an Americanwhite mainstream.
There was a backlash. Bythe 1930s, an immigrant-weary United States had im-posed strict quotas and closedits borders. Those newly ar-rived were pushed to conformand blend in with a white main-stream, benefiting from NewDeal economic programs thatgenerally excluded blacks.The immigration quotas alsocut off the supply of new work-ers to ethnic enclaves and re-duced social and economiccontacts between immigrantsand their countries of origin.
“America of the MeltingPot comes to End,” read a1924 opinion headline in TheNew York Times. The author,a U.S. senator, pledged thatstrict new immigration quo-tas would “preserve racialtype as it exists here today.”
Today, data show thatLatinos are embracing U.S.life but also maintainingstrong ties to their heritage,aided by a new stream of for-eign-born immigrants whoarrive each year. Latinos, offi-cially an ethnic group, striveto learn English and 1 in 4
intermarry, taking a whitespouse.
Nowadays, immigrantsface less pressure to conformthan did their counterpartsfrom a century ago. Latinosare protected as a minority,benefiting from the 1950s civilrights movement pioneered byblacks. Nearly 40 percent ofLatinos now resist a white iden-tity on census forms, checkinga box indicating “some otherrace” to establish a Latino-race identity.
While growing diversity isoften a step toward a post-racial U.S., sociologists cau-tion that the politics of racialdiversity could just as easilybecome more magnified.
A first-of-its-kind AP pollconducted in 2011 found thata slight majority of whitesexpressed racial bias againstLatinos and that their atti-tudes were similar to or evengreater than the bias they heldtoward blacks. Latinos alsoremained somewhat residen-tially segregated from whitesin lower-income neighbor-hoods, hurt in part by the dis-appearance of good-paying,midskill manufacturing jobsthat helped white ethnics riseinto the middle class duringmost of the 20th century.
The AP survey was con-ducted with researchers fromStanford University, the Uni-versity of Michigan, andNORC at the University ofChicago.
Harvard economistGeorge Borjas projects thatby 2030, the children oftoday’s immigrants will earnon average 10 percent to 15percent less than nonimmi-grant US-Americans, basedon past trends, and thatLatinos will particularlystruggle because of high ratesof poverty, lack of citizen-ship and lower rates of edu-cation. In 1940, the childrenof early 20th-century whiteethnics fared much better onaverage, earning 21.4 per-cent more than non-immi-grants.
About 35 percent of Latinobabies are currently born intopoverty, compared with 41percent of blacks and 20 per-cent for whites.
“How America respondsnow to the new challenges ofracial and ethnic diversity will
determine whether it becomesa more open and inclusivesociety in the future—one thatprovides equal opportunitiesand justice for all,” said DanielLichter, a Cornell sociologistand past president of the Popu-lation Association of America.
The demographic shift hasspurred debate as to whethersome civil-rights era programs,such as affirmative action incollege admissions, shouldbegin to focus on income levelrather than race or ethnicity.The Supreme Court will ruleon the issue by late June.
Following a racially lop-sided re-election, Obama hasspoken broadly about promot-ing social and economic op-portunity. In his State of theUnion speech, he said that re-building the middle class is“our generation’s task.” Sen.Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a risingstar of a mostly white Repub-lican party now eager to at-tract Latino voters, is courtingsupporters in both English andSpanish in part by pledgingprograms that would boost“social mobility.”
Left unclear is how muchof a role government can orshould play in lifting the dis-advantaged, in an era ofstrapped federal budgets andrising debt.
The Latino immigrants in-clude Irma Guereque, 60, ofLas Vegas, who says enjoyinga middle-class life is what’smost important to her.
Things turned bad for theMexico native in the recentrecession after her work hoursas a food server were cut at theTexas Station casino off theStrip. As a result, she couldn’tmake the mortgage paymentson a spacious house she pur-chased and was forced to moveinto an apartment with hergrandchildren.
While she’s getting almostfull-time hours now, money isoften on her mind. Her financesmean retirement is hardly anoption, even though she’s gotdiabetes and is getting older.
Many politicians are “onlythinking of the rich, and notthe poor, and that’s not right,”Guereque said in Spanish.“We need opportunities foreveryone.”
AP writers Elaine Ganley, JennyBarchfield, and Michelle Rindelsincontributed to this report.

same issues that hung up a deal betweenthe U.S. Chamber of Commerce and theAFL-CIO over nonagricultural low-skilled workers before a resolution wasreached over the weekend.
The UFW contends that growers aretrying to push farmworkers below theircurrent average wage of $10.80 an hour,but growers say that wage is skewed bya small number of high earners and thatmost farmworkers make less. In light ofthe dispute, the UFW has begun to arguethat a new visa program may not benecessary at all.
The two-pronged structure of theemerging deal is similar to legislationcalled AgJobs negotiated in years pastthat never became law. Because of thathistory, the agriculture issue is beinghandled differently from other parts ofthe Senate immigration bill. It’s beingnegotiated by four senators—DianneFeinstein, D-Calif., Orrin Hatch, R-Utah,Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and MichaelBennet, D-Colo.—only two of whom,Rubio and Bennet, are part of the so-called Gang of Eight senators writing theoverall bill.
All involved hope for a resolution ofan issue that has been in need of one foryears, ever since the last major immigra-tion overhaul, in 1986, failed to establisha workable visa program for farmworkersand others.
“The problem we have on the groundtoday with a 50 to 70 percent unautho-rized labor force in agriculture is a directreflection of what was missing in the billthat passed in 1986,” said Craig J.Regelbrugge, co-chair of the Agricul-ture Coalition for Immigration Reform.“We made our bed and have been lyingin it ever since so this is a chance to getit right and not repeat those failures.”

Bienvenidos,The Coalition for Hispanic/Latino Issues & Progress
(CHIP) is pleased to join our 64 collaborating partners inwelcoming you to the 18th Annual Hispanic LeadershipConference on April 20, 2013, an annual event dedicatedto “Opening Doors” (Abriendo Puertas) and providingimportant information on major issues affecting the His-panic/Latino and at large community within Ohio andbeyond.
On March 23, 2010, President Barack Obama signedinto law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act(PPACA), commonly called Obamacare or the AffordableCare Act, which together with the Health Care and Educa-tion Reconciliation Act represents the most significant government expansion and regulatoryoverhaul of the U.S. healthcare system since the passage of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965.
PPACA is aimed primarily at decreasing the number of uninsured US-Americans andreducing the overall costs of healthcare. On June 28, 2012 the United States Supreme Courtupheld the constitutionality of most of the PPACA confirming it as the “Law of the Land.”
Although many of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act such as requirements forinsurance companies to cover all applicants, offering the same rates regardless of pre-existingconditions, and keeping dependent children on their parents insurance plan until age 26regardless of whether they live with parents, are claimed on tax returns, are no longer a studentand are married, have to a large degree been implemented, too many of our people, smallbusinesses and non-profits are still uncertain about what they qualify for, how insurance andmedical decisions will be made, what regulations prohibit insurers from dropping policyhold-ers, or the extent to which Medicare is being expanded.
How many of us, for example, are aware that in 2012 all new health plans began to covermammograms, colonoscopies and women’s preventive services without deductible, co-payor cost-sharing? How many are prepared to adapt to the health insurance exchanges that willbe commonplace by 2014? Will our small businesses know how to secure tax credits offeredto them in 2014, or be able to manage regulated maximum deductibles mandated for employersponsored health plans? For our marginalized and underrepresented communities, will“Undocumented Immigrants” remain eligible for emergency services under the EMT &Active Labor Act?
These are just a few of the questions being asked by Latinos and the at large communitiesof which we are integral members. For these reasons we devote this year’s conference to ourCommunity’s Health, The Affordable Care Act, Preventive Care Strategies, Hospice Care,Medicaid and Medicare expansion, poverty and toward activities which move us as a people,toward better health.
This year we bring you experts on the PPACA, doctors devoted to addressing diabetes,a major killer within the Hispanic/Latino community, agency directors, advocates forindividual and community health, and workshop presenters dedicated to insuring the Latinoand at large community have the information they need to better serve their clients, agencies,neighborhoods and communities. This is essential information and we urge you to collectit and take it back to share with your co-workers, agencies and communities. Your service toour people and the greater community is greatly appreciated. Your work will aid ourcommunities in preparing for a better tomorrow.
Yours for a Better Tomorrow,
