Marisol Alicia Pérez-Hales: “As a Latina, I pledgeto vote this year for thecandidates that implementand utilizes programs foryouth that emphasize com-munity awareness and pride.Neighborhood cleanups withmy Papi were a wonderfullearning tool when I was

WASHINGTON, D.C.,June 19, 2009 (AP): Presi-dent Barack Obama saidFriday the biblical com-mand to “love thy neigh-bor as thyself” is as perti-nent now as ever.
An entire communitysuffers when some mem-bers cannot pay their mort-gages or find jobs, Obamasaid at the Esperanza Na-tional Hispanic PrayerBreakfast and Confer-ence. He called on U.S.-Americans to work to-gether and care for one an-other.
“Together, we mustbuild a future where thepromise of America is kept
for a new generation,” hesaid.
In a related story, his presssecretary, Robert Gibbs, saidone difficult factor in choos-ing a new church of Obama isthe large footprint any presi-dent makes when he goessomewhere—“what it doeswhen a president decides towalk out of this building andwalk into a different build-ing and disrupt worshippersthat are attending for theirown personal reasons.”
Obama likes to attendchapel when spending timeat the Maryland presidentialretreat at Camp David, Gibbssaid.
It was reported on June
29,that Obama has toldaides that instead of join-ing a congregation in Wash-ington, D.C., he will followin George W. Bush’s foot-steps and make his primaryplace of worship EvergreenChapel, the nondenomina-tional church at CampDavid.

El 28 de junio del 2009(AP): El presidenteestadounidense BarackObama exhortó el domingoa todas las partes en Hondu-ras a que respeten lademocracia y el estado dederecho luego que un grupode soldados detuvo yexpulsó al presidenteManuel Zelaya a Costa Rica,al tiempo que la UniónEuropea y varios gobiernosdel mundo expresaban suconsternación.
“Estoy muy preocupadopor reportes desde Hondurassobre la detención y expulsióndel presidente ManuelZelaya”, dijo el mandatarioestadounidense horas despuésque soldados hondureñosirrumpieron en el palaciopresidencial de Tegucigalpa,desarmaron a los guardias yarrestaron a Zelaya.
“Cualquier conflicto ydisputa deben resolversepacíficamente a través de undiálogo libre de cualquierinterferencia externa”,agregó.
Autoridades de la Casa
Blanca dijeron que Obamahabló el domingo por lamañana sobre la situación enHonduras con su consejero deseguridad nacional, JamesJones. Funcionarios de variasagencias están atentos a lasituación y estánproporcionando informaciónactualizada a Obama, Jones ysu equipo.
“Tal como la Organizaciónde los Estados Americanos lohizo el viernes, pido a todoslos actores políticos y socialesen Honduras que respeten lasnormas democráticas, elestado de derecho y losprincipios de la CartaDemocrática Interamericana”,agregó Obama.
Momentos antes, la UniónEuropea y otros gobiernoscondenaron el golpe militaren Honduras. La UE exigió elretorno inmediato delpresidente depuesto.
Una declaración difundidapor los 27 ministros deRelaciones Exteriores de laUE, reunidos en Corfú, Grecia,describió el derrocamiento deZelaya como una “violación

La declaración dijo queel bloque europeo exige “unretorno a la normalidadconstitucional”.
En Venezuela, elpresidente Hugo Chávezaseguró que “el imperionorteamericano y la ex-trema derecha están detrás”de la detención y expulsiónde Zelaya, y dijo que puso alas tropas venezolanas “enalerta”.
“Es un golpe de Estadotroglodita, de los tantos queocurrieron en 10 años enAmérica Latina”, dijoChávez en un contactotelefónico con el canalTelesur.
Más tarde, a su llegada aManagua donde participaráen la reunión de laAlternativa Bolivarianapara las Américas (ALBA),Chávez hizo “un llamado alas burguesías de estastierras... no van a poderdetener los cambios”.

W A S H I N G T O N ,D.C., June 19, 2009(AP): President BarackObama says he is com-mitted to a comprehen-sive immigration over-haul that includes a waythat undocumented im-migrants can becomeU.S. citizens.
Obama told a gath-ering of Latinos onFriday that U.S. bor-ders must be strength-ened to thwart un-documented immigra-tion.
He said the millionsof people who are nowin the U.S. withoutdocumentation shouldhave the chance to be-come citizens. He saidthey must pay a fineand taxes, learn En-glish, and “go to theback of the line” ofpeople trying to enterthe United States fromtheir home country.
He said employersshould not be allowedto exploi t undocu-mented immigrants todrive down wages.
Obama made his re-marks at the EsperanzaNational HispanicPrayer Breakfast andConference.

Texas, June 24, 2009: TheU.S. Department of State(DOS) has agreed to imple-ment new procedures de-signed to ensure the fair andprompt review of U.S. pass-port applications by Mexi-can-Americans whose birthsin Texas were attended bymidwives. Under the agree-ment, no eligible applicantshould be denied a passport.
The procedural changesare the result of a settlementagreement following a classaction lawsuit filed by a coa-lition of civil rights and legalorganizations including theAmerican Civil LibertiesUnion, the ACLU of Texas,the international law firmHogan & Hartson LLP, andRefugio del Rio Grande, Inc.
“The new proceduresagreed to by the governmentare aimed at restoring the coreAmerican values of fairnessand equality to the ways inwhich it issues U.S. pass-ports,” said Vanita Gupta, staffattorney with the ACLU Ra-cial Justice Program whoworked on the case along withthe ACLU Immigrants’Rights Project. “Citizens willno longer be denied a pass-port solely because of theirrace, ancestry or because theyhappened to be born at homewith a midwife.”
The settlement comes at a
particularly crucial time. TheWestern Hemisphere TravelInitiative (WHTI), which wentinto effect June 1, 2009, re-quires every U.S.-Americanwho wishes to exit or enter orthe United States to have avalid U.S. passport or pass-port card. Previously, citizensneeded only a valid U.S.driver’s license to travel be-tween the U.S. and Mexico orCanada.
“For U.S. citizens who livein the Southwest, a passport isnow as necessary as a driver’slicense,” said Lisa Graybill,Legal Director for the ACLUof Texas. “We are relievedthat U.S. citizens, who work,shop, receive medical care,and have family on both sidesof the border, will no longerbe in danger of losing theirjobs, risking their health, orbeing separated from familymembers simply because ofthe circumstances of theirbirth.”
Although midwifery hasbeen a common practice formore than a century – particu-larly in rural and other tradi-tionally underserved commu-nities – the lawsuit chargedthat DOS was violating thedue process and equal protec-tion rights of virtually allmidwife-delivered U.S. citi-zens living in the southernborder region by forcing them
to provide an excessive num-ber of documents normallynot required to prove their citi-zenship. Then, even after theapplicants supplied furtherproof of their citizenship, DOSresponded by summarily clos-ing their applications withoutexplanation.
“Because DOS lacked clearstandards, countless passportapplicants were treated arbi-trarily,” said Lisa Brodyaga,the attorney for Refugio delRio Grande. “With this settle-ment, applicants born withmidwives are guaranteed thesame full and fair consider-ation of their applications aseveryone else. This is espe-cially critical now given thatthe June 1st deadline of WHTIhas passed.”
The lawsuit also chargedthat the Department’s prac-tices were violating the Ad-ministrative Procedure Act,which was enacted as a safe-guard against arbitrary and ca-pricious government agencyprocedures. During the courseof the litigation, several of theplaintiffs were granted pass-ports even though they hadbeen denied previously on thevery same showing of evi-dence of citizenship.
Pending court approval,DOS will train its staff on howto fairly weigh all the evi-dence provided in passport
applications and how toavoid improperly subjectingpeople whose births wereassisted by midwives inTexas and along the U.S.-Mexico border to height-ened scrutiny in reviewingtheir passport applications.All denials will be automati-cally reviewed by a three-member panel comprised ofexperienced DOS staff mem-bers, and if that panel alsodenies an application, DOSmust communicate the spe-cific reasons for the denial tothe applicant. The applicantcan then challenge the de-nial and ask DOS to recon-sider its decision.
Additionally, anyonebirthed by a midwife who hasfiled an application for a pass-port between April 2003 andSeptember 15, 2008 and,with a few exceptions, whoseapplication was not expressly“denied,” can re-apply forfree. DOS will be setting upmobile units across the bor-der on specific dates to assistthose reapplying.
DOS has also agreed torestrictions on a list it main-tains of suspect midwives andother birth attendants, whichit purported to use to justifyits discriminatory policies.Importantly, DOS will notdeny a passport applicationsimply because theapplicant’s birth attendant ormidwife is on the list.
DOS will conduct regularreviews of the list to ensure
that no one is included unlessDOS has a reasonable, lawfulbasis to do so. These mea-sures will help ensure that DOSdoes force passport applicantsto take unnecessary measuresto prove their citizenship anddoes not arbitrarily deny pass-ports merely because the in-dividual was born to a sus-pect midwife.
“We’re very happy thatwe were able to come to anagreement with the govern-ment that recognizes everyU.S. citizen’s constitutionalright to be treated with fair-ness and equality,” saidAdam K. Levin of Hogan &Hartson. “You can’t denybasic rights to an entire groupof U.S. citizens because theirparents did not deliver themin hospitals.”

want to be loved is a long story. What you have right nowis as close as you’ll ever get. What are you so afraid of?Love yourself enough to keep it or let it go.
Hispanic Roundtable andPolicy Bridge sponsored ‘Brownand Black Dialogue’ amongprominent leaders from theLatino and African-Americancommunity on June 23, 2009 atthe City Club of Cleveland. Pan-elists discussed barriers, com-monalities, and importance ofunity and engaging youth aspivotal for prosperity in bothcommunities.
Rev. Max Rodas, ExecutiveDirector of Nueva Luz UrbanResource Center, said with thegrowth in U.S. Latino popula-tion myths and fears have seepedinto the African-American com-munities and the perception oflimited resources have often trig-gered animosity. “You can travelfrom city to city and state to stateand see there are serious ten-sions,” he said. ‘The debate ofundocumented immigrants iscompounding the tensions,’Rodas added. “Immigration isan issue we all really need toaddress together,” he said.
Barbara Danforth, Execu-tive Director of YWCA of GreaterCleveland, challenged theLatino community to educatetheir African-American friendson immigration issues. She saidthe lack of interaction betweenthe Latino and African-Ameri-can community is not inten-tional but simply a lack of so-cialization contributed by thegeographical stigmas of East andWest sides in Cleveland. “Wehave to cross the bridges to get toknow each other,” Danforth said.
“Geographic barriers havebeen here for a long time but if welook at the prospering areas theyare diverse and provide oppor-tunities for all ethnicities,” saidTerry Travis, Founder and Presi-dent ofwww.Cleveland365.com.
Attorney Raymond Headen,Brickler and Eckler, LLP, addedthe distinct neighborhoodsdon’t facilitate social interac-tion between the groups; but hesees possibilities arising fromthe social and economical crisis.Especially foreclosures, whichhe said are an incredible oppor-tunity for the communities topool their real-estate powers andcreate multiethnic neighbor-hoods.
Travis said the city needs anew direction and it needs toinvolve developing a workforceprepared for green sustainablejobs. Panelists agreed theyounger generation is more in-tegrated and better equipped todeal with problems. Diana delRosario, Dean of Student Affairsat Cuyahoga Community Col-lege, said the largest segment ofboth communities is under theage of 25 and colleges are seek-ing to encourage more pursuantof higher education regardlessof race or income. Rosario saidit is critical for the communitiesto put efforts toward educatingminority values, assisting teach-ers in helping students graduatefrom high school and most im-portantly involving parents.
Headen said with the $787billion stimulus money beingpumped into the economy overtwo years for the city needs tothink outside the box; “Our dif-ferences dissolve when we cometogether because it always comesdown to that we have been de-prived and discriminated against,this is an opportunity,” he said.
Joe López, President andCEO of New Era Builders saidit’s important to acknowledgetension between the communi-ties exist, especially inCleveland’s minority business.“We like to take care of our own
first,” López said, and often in-volving other minority groupsis an ‘after-thought’.
López said if the communi-ties united their buying powercorporations would notice andinvest more money in educa-tion, entrepreneurs, organiza-tions and predominantly ethnicneighborhoods. López saidthere needs to be a shift in dy-namics; “Corporate is going tohave to deal with us… right nowwe are allowing them to tear usapart, let’s say ‘That’s enough!”
Danforth agreed; “If we com-bine our numbers we coulddominate politics in the region.”She said another commonalitybetween the communities is thelack of visibility for leaders inboth communities. She usedmoderator Randell McShepard,Chairman and Co-founder ofPolicy Bridge, as an examplesaying while he more than quali-fied to serve as board member ofnumerous organizations thereare many more qualified candi-dates who need the opportunityand must step up.
“It’s time for us old dogs tostep aside and trust the new gen-eration to take more responsi-bilities,” Danforth said. Her com-ment prompted an “amen” fromeighty-year old Pearl Thomp-son, who noticed the lack ofyouth present at the forum andsaid they have to be engaged inthese conversations as children.Thompson said the dialogueneeded to start a long time agoand it’s time to move conversa-tions into actions and yield re-sults.
“This is the best thing tohappen in Cleveland in a longtime,” she said.
López said ‘the communi-ties need to identify issues af-fecting both communities, setmeasurable solutions, and makethe movements contagious.’Rodas added, ‘while dialoguefocused on Brown and Blackconversations it must not ne-glect the hyphenated identities;’“Children who are black andbrown,” he said. Rodas de-scribed them as an eclectic groupwith global perspective devoidof racism and class-orientation,which indicates positivechanges for the future.

The 19th Fiesta of HopeLuncheon awarded $30,000in scholarships to 54 brightstudents on June 26, 2009 atWindows on the River. Theaward banquet was the larg-est Esperanza, Inc, has hosted,with 440 guests, sponsors, re-cipients, families, and recipi-ents celebrating a remarkableyear.
“We are continuing thepath set by Esperanza to giveback to the community,” saidkeynote speaker Dr. MarlaPérez-Davis, Chief of theProject Liaison and Integra-tion Office at NASA GlennResearch Center.
She advised students toremember those around them:the mentors, sponsors, volun-teers, and leaders and giveback to Esperanza. Pérez-Davis said, ‘Students need todevelop leadership skills, de-velop endurance, and growtheir networks so in time ofneed they can reach out andask for help or lend a hand.’
Most importantly shestressed, ‘never quit.’ “Youwill encounter roadblocks,when you get tired push your-self till you can go no furtherand lower the resistance, butdon’t stop.”
Her message stuck withscholarship recipient WilliamRodríguez, a graduate of St.Ignatius, who said he wasnever aware of the Latinocommunity. “I see now that Iam not alone,” he said. Will-iam will be attending MiamiUniversity, Oxford, in au-tumn, for Business Adminis-tration and hopes to work forthe FBI.
William said he is lookingforward to mentoring withEsperanza during winterbreaks.
For High Tech Academysophomore KanishkaRodríguez, Esperanza hasbeen a constant companion,supporting her dreams, moti-
vating her to achieve, andintroducing her to mentors,who prove to her that as aLatina from Puerto Rico shecan accomplish anything shesets her mind to.
As she reflected on herinvolvement with Esperanzaprograms like Ellas, Kanishkapaused. “Wow, they havegiven me so much,” she saidand added she is most grate-ful for the self-confidence shehas built through Esperanza.
Kanishka plans to be-come a forensic scientist andis looking forward to a futurefilled with giving back toEsperanza via committees,volunteers, and boards.
Awilda I. Santiago is asecond time recipient ofEsperanza scholarships andsaid the monetary assistancehas helped her attendBaldwin Wallace College,but she is most thankful forthe pride it gives her parentsand that her younger siblingscan look at her as a successfulrole model. “I want them toknow they should be proudof their heritage, own it, andachieve anything they wantto and keep on with theireducation,” Awilda said.
Felicia Soto, EsperanzaBoard President, said the or-ganization has been able tohonor its mission due to thecontributions of sponsorswho stood by the organiza-tion in a difficult economy,the volunteers who contrib-uted thousands of hours.
She credited BarbaraEsperon for her service of thepast four years, and an-nounced Esperon will beleaving the organization inJuly. Soto encouraged gueststo support Campaign 25, “wecould always use more tal-ents, please don’t hesitate tocall us,” she said.

Lorain’s DeLuca’s Placein the Park was transformedinto the Puerto Rican islandthis past week.
In a hall adorned with neoncolored, electric, 6-foot-tallPalm trees, two Puerto Ricanmilitary heroes of Lorain werehonored at the “ElegantEvening of Culture,” June 24,2009.
The gala was sponsoredand organized by the PuertoRican Cultural Committee(PRCC) for honoring thePuerto Rican community inlight of its recognition as thisyear’s International Festivalspotlight nationality.
Carlos I. Montes receiveda PRCC recognition awardfor serving in the Korean Warthrough the famous 65th In-fantry, also known as “TheBorinqueneers.”
Miguel Berlingeri also re-ceived recognition for his par-ticipation in the same infan-try and same war.
Lorain Mayor AnthonyKrasienko said he is proud torepresent Lorain’s rich diver-sity.
“We have so many storiesin our city and so many greatAmericans and Lorainites justlike these gentlemen...that putso much on the line for thiscommunity and this countryand we’re surrounded by ev-eryday heroes that we don’teven know exist,” Krasienkosaid.
With a combination of ei-ther cuatros, guitars, guirosor maracas, musicians fromthe bolero style trio Los Tres
Sonidos and the newly formedband Sabor Latino serenadeda crowd of roughly 200 peoplewhile they ate a typical PuertoRican dish of arroz congandules and pork.
The evening began andended with the young per-formers of “Raices Latinas,”dancing traditional PuertoRican pieces on the outdoorpatio and indoor hall whilevejigantes ran through thecrowd.
Keynote Speaker LuisBalzac, Regional Director forthe Puerto Rico Federal Af-fairs Administration, was un-able to attend the gala. Balzacwas set to speak about thepolitical status of Puerto Rico.His topic, however, was stilldiscussed briefly.
His topic was touchedupon when Montes said “ Yoquiero a Puerto Rico libre,”meaning, “I want Puerto Ricofree,” adding he was anIndependentista. In contrast,Berlingeri said “I want PuertoRico to be the next state ofthis country,” during his briefspeech.
“The Borinqueneers”Lorain Police Chief Cel
Rivera presented the award toMontes after describing thehistory of the 65th InfantryRegiment—an extension ofthe U.S. military mostly com-prised of Puerto Ricans. Theinfantry members served inWorld War I and II and theKorean War.
He called the Korean War
about and it brings down thebarriers,” he said. “It’s positivefor everyone,” he said.
Richard Romero, of thePuerto Rican Cultural Com-mittee, said the festival pro-vides a unique opportunity.
“It wasn’t until I grew upthat I realized diversity is soimportant,” Romero said“There is no other city in thestate that has a festival that hasso much food, and [folkloric]costumes. No other where youcan see all that without havingto get on a plane,” he said.
Several visitors said thefood is what they most appreci-ate about the festival, and manysaid the festival has been tradi-tion for decades.
“I enjoy the food, the pa-rades, the princesses and theirpretty attire,” Sylvia Billings,of Lorain said, as she sat watch-ing the Sunday Parade with her6-year-old and 9-year-old sons.“I like the bands and the ArmedForces. I like seeing people par-ticipating in Lorain,” she said.
Two local high schoolbands, local festival royalty,city council members,firefighters, and several differ-ent ethnic floats were in theparade. The food booths in-cluded: Chinese, Polish, Greek,Italian, Mexican, Puerto Rican,Vietnamese, Croatian, y más.
PRCC organizes gala event tohonor Puerto Rican heroes ofthe 65th InfantryBy Ingrid Marie Rivera, La Prensa Correspondent
I was born in Ponce, PuertoRico but I’ve lived in theUnited States since I was fouryears old. Either because I’vebeen too busy or becauseI’ve lacked the funds, I’venever revisited my country.
In my home, we may onlyspeak Spanish, eat arroz conhabichuelas often, and evenwatch las telenovelas on theUnivision Network, but thispast week put me in greatertouch with my Puerto Ricanheritage.
For this year’s Lorain In-ternational Festival of June21 - 28, 2009, the spotlightnationality was Puerto Rico.I’m still amazed how manyPuerto Ricans of Loraincame together and took ad-vantage of the opportunityto display our culture.
Our culture.Something interesting
happened.Father William Thaden,
who was invited to the Break-fast event on June 22 and theJune 24 gala event for theinvocation and benediction,said he often found himselfin “slip-ups” when referringto the Puerto Rican commu-nity. He would say “We,”even though he’s not PuertoRican. He explained thePuerto Ricans had welcomedhim so dearly that he now feltpart of the community.
Lorain City Council Presi-dent Joel Arredondo mir-rored his words when he said“I know I’m Mexican butliving in Lorain everybodyfeels they are Puerto Ricanone way or another,” he said.
Precisely the way thePuerto Rican community hasembraced so many membersof other ethnicities in Lorainemboldens the pride in myculture. The members of thePuerto Rican Cultural Com-mittee were all strangers tome when I went for my firstinterview, but by the end ofthe week I felt so welcomed;they felt like friends—likemy extended family.
MúsicaThe music brought me to
nothing less than awe.The Puerto Rican folk-
loric dances of plena orbomba and even the bolerossang by the trio “Los TresSonidos” left me speechless.I may not have grown uplistening to the folkloricsounds of the island, but hear-
ing the cuatros, the guiros,and the maracas moved meto a powerful feeling of rev-erence. I felt like those soundswere always a part of me. Iwanted to soak up all thesounds. I wanted to savorevery second of it.
Carlos I. Montes, who washonored at the gala for hisservice in the Korean Warwhile in the 65th Infantry, saidthe music of Puerto Rico iswhat he loves the most aboutthe island. He said he alsoloves “el ambiente” and thegreat camaraderie of PuertoRicans.
I told him that I – eventhough I have no clue how—that I would visit Puerto Ricovery soon.
Montes advised me tovisit the center of the islandto get the full experience andwitness the “jibaritos” work.That they are very humblebut have great love and cour-tesy for others.
I am also amazed at thestory of the first generationof Puerto Ricans to arrive inLorain. Eugenio “Gene”Rivera, a clinical socialworker in Connecticut, ex-plained that “genesis.” Mygrandfather, Antonio Rivera,was one of those PuertoRicans who traveled toLorain after serving in WorldWar II and constructed a smallhouse in an area known as“El Campito.” My grandfa-ther also worked the steelmills at the Lorain plant. Mygrandmother, María Rivera,attended the Sacred HeartChapel – the religious foun-dation for the early PuertoRicans.
The early Puerto Ricansto settle in Lorain were hardworking, family-oriented,and religious individuals,who took great pride in theirheritage – much like thePuerto Ricans of today.
Lorain Mayor AnthonyKrasienko said at the gala “Our city is so enriched be-cause of the Puerto Ricanculture.” I was enriched withthe festivities that educatedmy community and honoredmy culture.
And just like the numer-ous Puerto Ricans of Lorainexpressed this past weekendrepeatedly, I too am proud ofmy rich Puerto Rican heri-tage. I can’t wait to visit my“isla del encanto.”

El Camarada Obama
UN CRIMEN DE ODIO CADA HORA
CHICAGO — Activistas pro inmigran-tes en Illinois expresaron hoy su decepción por lo que calificaron de “pobres resultados” de la reunión del presidente estadunidense Barack Obama y 30 legisladores para abor-dar el tema de la reforma migratoria.
Entrevistados por separado, represen-tantes de la comunidad inmigrante del es-
tado, en su mayoría hispana, dijeron que el encuentro mostró a un Obama que conti-núa eludiendo el compromiso que adquirió durante su campaña con este sector de la población.
El presidente del Frente Unido Pro in-migrantes, Carlos Arango, señaló que la re-unión fue “un acto político” en el que sólo se
expusieron ideas, pero no hubo propuestas y ni siquiera se definió fecha para un nuevo encuentro.
Consideró que al nombrar Obama a la secretaria de Seguridad Interna, Janet Na-politano, como enlace con el Congreso so-bre el tema migratorio se desvía de nueva
cuenta el enfoque que se requiere para la re-forma demandada.
“Con esa decisión se vuelve a colocar el asunto en el terreno de la seguridad nacio-nal y no en el económico y de los derechos laborales como debería”, expuso el también director de Casa Aztlán.

Washington �
En Estados Unidos se cometen cada año más de siete mil 500 crímenes de odio, que equivale a casi uno por hora, según un informe de la Conferencia de Liderazgo so-bre Derechos Civiles (LCCR) divulgado.
La violencia motivada por la raza, reli-gión, origen étnico, nacionalidad, género u orientación sexual de la persona sigue sien-do “un serio problema”, particularmente entre la población latina e inmigrante, de acuerdo con el reporte.
Indicó que los crímenes de odio contra los hispanos, que se incrementaron 40 por ciento entre 2003 y 2007 según la Oficina Federal de Investigaciones (FBI), se relacio-nan a la retórica antiinmigrante en la radio, televisión e Internet así como de grupos de odio opuestos a una reforma migratoria.
El presidente de la LCCR, Wade Hen-derson, dijo en una teleconferencia que “ahora es el momento de que el Congreso
actúe con una ley contra los crímenes de odio”.
Señaló que a ese sentimiento se agrega la peor crisis económica que afecta al país y la elección del primer presidente afroame-ricano de Estados Unidos, Barack Obama, “que ha causado un incremento en la activi-dad de grupos supremacistas blancos”.
Entre los casos citados en el reporte, fi-gura el asesinato del inmigrante Luis Ramí-rez en Pensilvania por parte de adolescentes anglosajones, que lo insultaron por su ori-gen mexicano, lo golpearon y le patearon la cabeza hasta que le causaron la muerte.
Otro caso es el de un adolescente afro-americano de 17 años, quien fue golpeado en Nueva York por los jóvenes Ralph Nico-letti, Michael Contreras y Brian Carranza, que buscaban atacar a alguien de esa mino-ría racial tras la victoria electoral de Obama en noviembre pasado.
En febrero del año pasado, en Ox-nard, California, el adolescente Brandon McInerney, de 14 años, disparó dos veces a
Lawrence King, de 15 años, porque era ho-mosexual.
Michael Lieberman, consejero legal de la Liga Contra la Difamación (ADL), coau-tor del reporte, dijo que los crímenes de odio más comunes fueron motivados por la raza de la persona, seguido por la religión y en tercer lugar por la orientación sexual.
Las nuevas tecnologías y redes sociales también las usan grupos de odio para pro-pagar sus mensajes, dijo Lieberman, que se-ñaló que defiende la libertad de expresión, pero pidió una mayor capacidad de respues-ta ante los crímenes de odio.
El líder de la mayoría demócrata del Se-nado, Harry Reid, anunció un proyecto de ley para combatir los crímenes de odio.
La presidenta del Consejo Nacional de La Raza, Janet Murguía, anunció su apoyo a ese proyecto y señaló que una reforma mi-gratoria integral ayudará a reducir los crí-menes de odio que tanto afectan a los his-panos en el país.
Un crimen de odio cada horaAhora es el momento de que el Congreso actúe con una ley
Rhode Island, 3er estado en permitir marihuana para uso médico
Rhode Island se convirtió en el tercer estado del país que permite la venta de marihuana a per-sonas que sufren enfermedades crónicas, pese a las objeciones del gobernador Don Carcieri.
Los legisladores en la Asamblea General vo-taron para superar un veto del gobernador repu-blicano.
La nueva ley permite hasta tres tiendas sin fines de lucro en el estado para vender marihua-na a pacientes registrados ante el Departamento de Salud de Rhode Island. La droga sigue siendo ilegal de acuerdo con las leyes federales, pero el gobierno del presidente Barack Obama ha seña-lado que no tomará medidas contra las tiendas que cumplan leyes estatales.
Rhode Island comenzó a permitir que los pa-cientes de enfermedades crónicas poseyeran ma-rihuana en el 2006, pero nunca creó un medio legal para adquirir la droga.
California y Nuevo México son los otros dos estados que permiten vender marihuana con fi-nes médicos.
Se casa el Padre Alberto
El famoso ex sacerdote católico de Miami, Alberto Cu-tié, que desató un escándalo en la Iglesia cuando paparazzi lo fotografiaron besando en la boca y acariciando a una mujer en la playa de Miami Beach, se casó con su novia, informaron noticieros locales.
Cutié, de 40 años, se casó por lo civil con su novia, la guatemal-teca Ruhama Buni Canellis, de 35 años, en una corte de Coral Gables, ciudad vecina de Miami.
Al parecer, se casaron el mismo día que solicitaron autorización para realizar dicho proceso. Todavía se desconoce cuándo ocurrirá el matrimonio por la vía religiosa, aunque un artículo de The Miami Herald, publicado hace unos días, informaba que esta ceremonia era inminente.
Según ese reporte, quien los casará sería el obispo de la Diócesis Episcopal del Sureste de Florida, Leo Frade. “La última vez que lo vi, lo vi bien. Sigue muy enamorado”, aseguró el sacerdote episcopal. “Me encantaría casar al Padre. Yo he casado a muchos ex sacerdotes católicos”.
Alberto Cutié anunció su retiro de la Iglesia Católica Romana el 28 de mayo pasado y desde entonces ha estado ofreciendo sermo-nes, aún como feligrés, en la Iglesia Episcopal de la Resurrección, en el norte de Miami.
Arango indicó que el movimiento inmigrante del país re-quiere enfocar de nuevo sus acciones hacia el Congreso para sen-sibilizar a los legisladores sobre la necesidad de acelerar la defi-nición de una reforma migratoria, “ya que Obama está eludiendo cumplir con su compromiso”.
Por su parte, el sacerdote José Landaverde, de la iglesia Mi-sión Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, del vecindario La Villita, ase-guró que el gobierno del presidente Obama está llevando a cabo “un juego político”.
Pretende mantener engañada a la comunidad inmigrante con pequeños diálogos que no llevan a nada, pero le ayudan a eludir el compromiso que hizo de impulsar en el primer año de su gobierno una reforma migratoria, sostuvo.
Landaverde destacó que el movimiento inmigrante de Illi-nois ha cometido el error de “andar detrás de Obama” y dejar de lado el trabajo de cabildeo legislativo para convencer a sus repre-sentantes de que deben promover el regreso del tema al debate.
Por ello, anunció que durante la próxima semana encabezará un viaje a Washington con un reducido grupo de 10 cabilderos
con experiencia y ocho inmigrantes indocumentados que conta-rán sus historias ante cinco legisladores de Illinois.
“El objetivo es no bajar la guardia y contribuir con un grano de arena que si se repite en otros estados puede generar el im-pulso requerido para la reforma”, añadió el religioso, quien tiene previsto hablar con los senadores Dick Durbin y Roland Burris, y con los representantes Mark Kirk, Dan Lipinski y Melissa Bean.
Por su parte, Flor Crisóstomo, la indocumentada mexicana que se encuentra refugiada en una iglesia metodista y dirigente del grupo América Unida, afirmó que la reunión no tuvo ningún resultado que pueda calificarse de positivo.”No hubo compromi-sos, ni propuestas ni fechas. Se jugó con la confianza de la gente que gastó su dinero para ir a Washington a fin de apoyar esta reunión, la cual ya se había cancelado dos veces”, agregó.
Crisóstomo, quien está por cumplir año y medio de reclusión para evitar su deportación, expresó que pese a la falta de resulta-dos, la presión del movimiento inmigrante no se debe detener, en especial el dirigido a los congresistas por una reforma integral.
“Que no nos distraigan con leyes como la Dream Act, que no pasan y están diseñadas para atender sólo porciones del proble-ma. Con el gobierno debemos seguir insistiendo con la moratoria a las redadas y deportaciones”, dijo.

La abogada Marielo Puerta habla sobre temas de inmigración: Visa por violencia, Visa V
Sin muchas esperanzas de una reforma migratoria
Por: Isabel Flores - Lazo Cultural �
Grand Rapids, MI.- “La reforma migratoria es la última priori-dad para el Congreso en este momento. Si la situación económica no estuviera como está ahora, entonces si habría posibilidad, pero en mi opinión no habrá una reforma sino hasta el 2011, 2012 o incluso, hasta después de las siguientes elecciones”, comentó Marielo Puerta, abogada especialista en asuntos de inmigración.
Puerta lamenta ser portadora de tan malas noticias, pero “cuan-do hay un nivel de desempleo tan alto, la gente quiere echarle la culpa a alguien y en lugar de señalar a los verdaderos culpables (bolsa de valores), se les hace fácil ver al inmigrante como el enemigo. En espe-cial porque si hay una reforma, los inmigrantes obtendrán permisos de trabajo y representarán una competencia para el ciudadano ame-ricano en los pocos puestos que hay hoy en día”, agregó la entrevista-da. “Creo que antes de que las cosas se compongan, van a empeorar porque muchos indocumentados todavía tienen licencias de manejo vigentes, pero cuando expiren, ya no habrá forma de renovarla”.
Otro factor que esta afectando a la comunidad inmigrante, son las pequeñas redadas en circulo que se van expandiendo cada vez más, lo cual deja sin acompañantes a varios ciudadanos menores de edad. “El futuro se ve muy inseguro”.
Por otra parte, la abogada dijo que muy poca gente tiene cono-cimiento sobre una reforma que fue aprobada el primero de abril de 1997, llamada 212.C, la cual prohíbe entradas múltiples a este país. En otras palabras, si un inmigrante pasa un año o más aquí, de repente sale y hace una segunda entrada al país, entonces se le da una multa de 10 años al momento que quiera arreglar su estatus migratorio.
En cuanto al área de las visas, la novedad por llamarlo de alguna manera es la Visa U y la Visa V. “Lo que pasa es que aunque ya existen desde hace tiempo, mucha gente lo desconoce”, dijo Puerta.
La Visa U se otorga a las victimas de violencia domestica. “Si un inmigrante ha sido victima de violencia (hay como 20 tipos de críme-nes que entran en esta categoría), no importando si la pareja es ciuda-dana o inmigrante, las autoridades pueden realizar el patrocinio de la visa. La clave es encontrar al patrocinador que puede ser una rama de las fuerzas federales o la oficina del fiscal, juez o policía”.
La abogada señaló que aunque esta ley ya existía desde hace tiem-po, no fue sino hasta el año pasado que se realizaron los ajustes nece-sarios para dar a conocer las especificaciones a seguir. “Es importante mencionar que debe haber una investigación judicial contra el culpa-ble. En caso de que éste se pierda, entonces se puede seguir el proceso argumentando apoyo de la victima en la búsqueda del agresor”.
En cuanto a la Visa V, todos aquellos que en algún momento la tuvieron y no la han renovado porque ya son mayores de 21 años, ya pueden hacerlo sin importar la edad. “Hubo un periodo de tres o cuatro años que no se les renovó la visa a los mayores de 21 años que estaban en proceso de espera por la solicitud de un padre o una espo-sa residente; pero ahora ya se hace la renovación sin problema”.
Otra cosa interesante a mencionar en las leyes de migración es que muchas veces un crimen menor para las leyes de Michigan, pue-de ser considerado un crimen mayor para inmigración y por lo tan-to, en ese momento el inmigrante firma su propia deportación. Por ejemplo, en este Estado se puede dar un año de cárcel por un crimen menor, pero al momento de estar en la cárcel 365 días, inmediata-mente se convierte en crimen mayor para inmigración. “Si el código penal de Michigan dijera que el crimen menor es de 364 días, enton-ces no habría problema, pero un solo día hace la diferencia”, destacó la entrevistada. “Hay muchos estados que ya se dieron cuenta de este problema y ya han comenzado a realizar los cambios correspondien-tes pero aquí todavía no se dan cuenta”.

América y Cruz Azul pretenden a Damián Álvarez
Pachuca, México �
Damián Álvarez, mediocamísta argentino del Pachuca, es pretendido por América y Cruz Azul aceptó el técnico de los Tu-
zos, Guillermo Rivarola, quien añadió que en la institución están en la búsqueda de un delantero que podría ser Giancarlo Maldonado o Guillermo Franco.
“Sabemos que hay una oferta importante por Damián Álvarez que también se analizará en estos días, y veremos cómo queda. De salir, puede salir Damián y los clubes que lo pretenden son América y Cruz Azul”, aseguró el estratega
Y agregó: “Tenemos un plantel muy bueno. Eso nos da la tranquilidad de ver bien a quién va-mos a contratar, especialmente venimos a Cancún (al Draft) a contratar un delantero que es lo que necesitamos”.
Sobre sus opciones de contratación, Rivarola dijo del venezolano Maldonado que “es una de las opciones que estamos manejando, así que vamos a esperar, vamos a elegir tranquilos porque creemos que es la única posición que hoy por hoy nos está faltando”.
Sobre Franco, también fue explícito, “también es una opción, es un jugador muy interesante y queda libre de Villarreal. Es naturalizado mexicano, así que es una opción importante. Se ha hablado con él, tenemos buena relación porque fuimos compañeros en el San Lorenzo”, concluyó.

MÉXICOdel Norte
El Camarada ObamaDurante décadas, antes de la
“amenaza terrorista internacio-nal” y el “eje del mal”, Estados
Unidos vivió una larga paranoia por la supuesta “invasión comunista”. Por unos años hubo también “el peligro amarillo”, que sugería que los chinos que acababan de hacer su revolución socialista iban a invadir Estados Unidos.
La simple acusación de ser “comu-nista” o “socialista” bastaba para perder el trabajo y no conseguir otro por las “listas negras”, hechas con los nombres de los “agitadores pagados con el oro de Moscú” que “infiltraban” la sociedad gringa para “imponer el socialismo”. Un “camarada” era inmediatamente identi-ficado como “subversivo” y “agitador”.
Pero los tiempos cambian y hoy te-nemos un socialista en la Casa Blanca. O eso dicen algunos. La revista Newsweek puso en su portada en febrero que Es-tados Unidos ya “era socialista”, y el 20 de mayo el Comité Nacional Republica-no llamó a los Demócratas a “dejar de llevar el país al socialismo”, insistiendo en que Barack Obama quiere imponer un sistema de tipo soviético, con fuer-tes servicios sociales y un gobierno que intervenga en la economía. El comenta-rista radical de derecha Rush Limbaugh declaró que Obama “quiere destruir el capitalismo” y “establecer un poderoso y autoritario gobierno socialista con con-trol de la economía”.
Y las palabras y acusaciones son fá-ciles cuando la mayoría de la gente no sabe realmente qué es el socialismo. Una encuesta de abril de la compañía Rasmussen dice que 53 por ciento de los estadounidenses prefieren el capita-lismo y un 20 por ciento el socialismo, mientras que un 27 por ciento no saben qué es mejor. Otra encuesta, del Con-
servativeHQ.com, dice que un 70 por ciento de los conservadores creen que Obama tiene una filosofía “Socialista” o “Marxista”, y un 11 por ciento lo llama “comunista”. Las acusaciones se deben a los miles de millones de dólares que el gobierno le ha metido a la economía, y actos como la compra de General Mo-tors, de la que supuestamente ya todos somos accionistas y dueños.
… no ha venido a las reuniones
Obama soltó la carcajada cuando un periodista del New York Times le preguntó si era socialista. Respondió que no y que el gobierno de Bush tam-bién le entregó miles de millones de dólares a las compañías. “Son medidas extraordinarias porque los reglamentos son muy débiles y las aventuras econó-micas y financieras ocasionaron una crisis”, dijo.
Los verdaderos socialistas están de acuerdo. Nuestra buena amiga Sherry Wolf, de la Organización Socialista In-ternacional, recuerda que socialismo es un sistema donde los que producen la riqueza, los trabajadores, deben con-trolarla y ser sus dueños. “Obama solo está salvando el capitalismo rescatando bancos, hipotecas y compañías de segu-ros, mientras los trabajadores están en la calle por falta de dinero y desempleo. Obama está rescatando al capitalismo de sus propios excesos”.
Otros socialistas coinciden. El líder Billy Wharton del Partido Socialista considera a Obama como un político neoliberal comprometido con la econo-mía de mercado y las ganancias para los ricos, y lo critica por impedir que quie-
nes quieren un sistema universal de sa-lud dieran su testimonio en el senado.
El partido de los Socialistas De-mocráticos de América trabaja con los Demócratas pero los llama “el segundo partido más capitalista” de Estados Uni-dos. Su líder Frank Llewellyn, dice que Obama no hace nada para “defender a la gente del poder devastador del capitalis-mo”, lo cual debía ser el papel del gobier-no. Rechaza que Obama sea socialista, porque para ellos socialismo sería un seguro gratuito nacional de salud, no la propuesta de Obama de seguros paga-dos a las compañías actuales.
El Partido Socialista dice que el so-cialismo sería un sistema sin desempleo, con salarios mínimos de 15 dólares por hora (en vez de los $6.65 actuales), seis semanas pagadas de vacaciones por año y jornadas de 30 horas de trabajo por semana. Para la Organización Socialista Internacional el socialismo comenzaría por cancelar inmediatamente los em-bargos de casas y permitir que quienes
no tienen casa ocuparan las viviendas y edificios desocupados.
Carlos Marx definió el socialismo como un sistema donde los obreros to-man el poder y reemplazan el sistema político, económico y social de los ricos por uno de los trabajadores. En palabras simples, en vez de darle miles de millo-nes de dólares a los ricos, ese dinero se le devolvería a los trabajadores que lo generaron con servicios sociales gratui-tos como salud y educación.
Sherry Wolf sostiene que “Quien dirige Estados Unidos no está a favor de los intereses de la clase que produce la riqueza. Un presidente no puede traer el socialismo para la gente; la gente debe luchar por él y ganarlo”. Y Sherry re-mata que el señor que vive en la Casa Blanca menos puede porque “No hemos visto al Camarada Obama en ninguna de nuestras reuniones”.

MADRID, el 25 de juniodel 2009 (AP): Todo el mundosabía que España perderíaalgún día, pero pocosimaginaban que EstadosUnidos sería el verdugo.
La prensa española reflejóel jueves en sus portadas latristeza de la contundentederrota por 2-0 ante elcombinado norteamericano enla Copa Confederaciones enSudáfrica.
“Cura de humildad.Batacazo tras 35 partidos sinperder y 15 victoriasconsecutivas”, dijo el diariodeportivo Marca en su portada.“ !Qué raro es perder!”, aseguróel madrileño As.
Nadie puso un solo pero a lavictoria de los norteamericanos.
La “Roja”, flamentecampeona de Eurocopa del añopasado, no perdía un partidodesde el 15 de noviembre de2006, cuando Rumania le ganóen un amistoso.
Desde entonces, Españaigualó, con 35 partidos, elrécord de imbatibilidad conBrasil y su fútbol se convirtióen la envidia de medio mundo.
Sin embargo, la mayoría delos diarios coincidieron enseñalar que la derrota ante unequipo teóricamente inferiores un traspié del que hay tomar
nota de cara a la verdadera citacon la que sueña el país entero:la Copa del Mundo de 2010,también en Sudáfrica. Españanunca ha ganado el mundial.
“Una lección para elmundial”, señaló el rotativo ElMundo. “No habría que agitarningún debate pesimista”,afirmó El País. “Mejor perderahora que dentro de un año enel mundial”, precisó Marca.
Los periódicos aseguraronque el equipo tiene losjugadores, la juventud y el estilosuficiente para no mantener laconfianza y recordaron quefutbolistas clave en su esquemade juego, como el hispano-brasileño Marcos Senna yAndrés Iniesta faltaron en estaCopa Confederaciones porlesión.
España ha ganado los seispartidos jugados en su grupo declasificación para el mundial y,con 18 puntos, tiene pie y medioen el campeonato.
Sobre Vicente del Bosque,señalaron que hasta el momentoha sabido completar unatransición con éxito al frente dela dirección técnica, tras heredarel equipo campeón que legóLuis Aragonés.
La del miércoles, fue laprimera derrota del Del Bosquecomo seleccionador nacional.

June 25, 2009, Canton:Over 600 players andcoaches from around theworld and officials from thePro Football Hall of Fame,the City of Canton, and theInternational Federation ofAmerican Football, at-tended the welcoming din-ner Thursday evening atWalsh University.
Addressing his remarksto the players, AnthonyMuñoz, a member of thePro Football Hall of Fame,told them to take in theentire experience, “not juston the field, but the rela-tionships that will stay withyou” after playing is done.

He was selected as anAll-Pro 11 straight years andis considered one of the bestever to play the game.Muñoz was enshrined in thePro Footbal Hall of Fame in1998.
“True commitment wassomething I had to learn
and put to use in my life,”Muñoz said. “It is mostlymental, not just physical.” Hethen told how he had to re-cover from surgery that ev-eryone thought would keephim from playing in the RoseBowl his senior year as theUniversity of Southern Cali-fornia. He became commit-ted to his rehab program andwas able to help USC defeatOhio State and become thenumber one college team inthe country.
As a professional player, ifpreparing meant stayinglonger for film sessions, or strat-egy talks with his teammates,or even working out a littlemore, that is what they did.They were committed to im-proving and being preparedfor the next game. That’s thework ethic and commitmentneeded to succeed,” he toldthe players and coaches, “andit applies to all areas of yourlife – school, job and family.”
After his pro career ended,Muñoz went into broadcast-ing for seven years and thencoached football at Cincin-nati Moeller High School forthree years. Still residing inCincinnati, he and his familyestablished the Anthony
Muñoz Foundation whosepurpose is to help instill thesame character valuesMuñoz brings to his life –being engaged physically,mentally and spiritually inwhat you do. The Founda-tion sponsors scholarships,leadership development,and programs that recognizescholares/athletes.
He has also established abusiness, Muñoz Brandz,with two divisions, MuñozCorporate and Muñoz Ath-letics. Muñoz Corporateprovides corporate appareland promotional productsand Muñoz Athletics pro-vides athletic apparel andequipment.
After the dinner, theMexican National JuniorTeam presented him with ajersey, which Muñoz im-mediately put on. He stayedlong after the dinner, gra-ciously greeting playersfrom the different countriesand having his picturetaken with them.

“the often forgotten war” thatclaimed the lives of 743 sol-diers and wounded 2,318 ofthat infantry while fightingin South and North Korea inthe 1950s.
“The story of the 65th In-fantry is a story of valor andtragedy and sacrifice,” Riverasaid “It’s a story that everyPuerto Rican can share in thepride,” he said.
A notable accomplish-ment for the Borinqueneers’came in 1951 when they wereordered by the U.S. militaryto secure certain hills in SouthKorea during the Korean War;the men managed to do soand even forced the Chineseto retreat.
But by 1953, the enemygained the upperhand as theywere undermanned and un-prepared; many had to dealwith discrimination from theirsuperiors and prosecution.
Rivera said Puerto Ricanshave served in every majorU.S. military war since theAmerican Revolution andcontinue to serve today inIraq and Afghanistan.

There were boat tours tothe islands off Lake Erie andto the lighthouse.
Easter Seals, an organi-zation that helps individu-als with disabilities, was thisyear’s spotlighted industry.
The CrownThe Puerto Rican com-
munity – this year’s spot-lighted nationality – re-ceived an added recogni-tion when Puerto Rican Prin-cess Ciara Gómez wascrowned queen this year.
Gómez, 17, is the fourthPuerto Rican princess to becrown queen. But her suc-cess marks the first time inthe pageant’s history that aPuerto Rican princess iscrowned queen the same yearthe Puerto Rican commu-nity is also spotlighted. Andonly the second time thathas happened—the firsttime a princess from the samespotlighted nationality tookthe crown was in 1994 withGerman Queen DebbiePrinz.
Gómez’s court included:1st Runner-Up African-American Princess MariahSledge, 18; 2nd Runner-UpGerman Princess BriannaLindway, 18; and 3rd Run-ner-up Hungarian PrincessAmanda Buchs, 17.

“Yo lo unico que he hechoes querer a Puerto Rico. Eso hasido mi amor desde niño,”Montes said. “Si quiero aPuerto Rico, pero yo defiendoa este país cuando tenga quedefenderlo,” he said.
He said all he did was lovePuerto Rico but repeated hewould die fighting for theUnited States if necessary. Hesaid he served in both Vietnamand the Korean War.
After his speech, he said hefelt the true deservers of theaward were the soldiers whodied in combat. Montes said hehelped to bury more than 40Puerto Ricans, during his dedi-cation to bring their bodiesback to Puerto Rico—amongthem were three of his friends.
Montes, who sang thePuerto Rican National Anthemat the gala, has a strong militaryfamily.
Of his eight children, threesons fought in either the Gulf orVietnam War. Plus, he had two
brothers and a sister whofought in World War II, Viet-nam, and Korean wars. Hisuncle fought in World War I.

in World War II and the Ko-rean War.
“In December of 1951,we liberated the Marines thatwere surrounded by the (en-emy) in North Korea and Iwas there in a fox hole,” hesaid.
Lydia Esparra, emcee forthe gala who brought thecrowd to great laughter oftenthroughout the night, con-gratulated the Puerto Ricancommunity for keeping theculture and the Spanish lan-guage alive.
“How wonderful it is thatwe had two Puerto RicanAmerican heroes in our pres-ence,” she said.
Montes said the island ofPuerto Rico may be small,but its contributions to theworld have been great.
“Puerto Rico es unacosita tan pequeñita perotanto qué ha dado almundo,” Montes said“Chiquitita pero sabrosa.”

It was her first time compet-ing in the pageant.
“Watching all these prin-cesses over the years and I knewI wanted to be one,” Gómezsaid, “Even if I didn’t makecourt, I wanted to at least be aprincess.”
Gómez said winning thecompetition will give her anopportunity to be a role model,and said she’s proud of herculture for “how close we arewith our family and how in-volved we are in church.”
She has been actively in-volved with her family in theSacred Heart Chapel that spon-sored her. She plans to attendWright State University forphysical therapy after shegraduates from high school in2010.
Gómez, along with Interna-tional Puerto Rican princessesMelina Rosas and Cynthia Y.Torres, wore folkloric PuertoRican white dresses and danced
a “bomba” piece to RickyMartin’s “Pégate,” multipletimes throughout the week-end.
Other Puerto Rican Prin-cesses this year included:Samaira Collazo, CarmenMolina, and Mayrin Rosario.
One Mexican Princessparticipated this year: TelisaSoto. Wearing traditionalMexican dresses, Soto andtwo other girls performed aMexican folkloric dance atthe pageant and the bazaar.
Manuel Rodríguez, 48, ofLorain said he’s been attend-ing the festival as a traditionfor many years. He said hewas very proud a PuertoRican princess took thecrown this year.
Melissa Santiago, 23, ofLorain, said the festival isalso a tradition to her.
“I love the fact that Lorainis such a diverse community,”Santiago said “I’ve lived hereall my life and I wouldn’t liveanywhere else,” she said.
