ESPERANZA’S ‘FIESTA OF HOPE’, P. 11

CLEVELAND: MelissaAldana remembers watchingmusic students flow in andout of her home in Santiago,Chile, to take lessons fromher father, Marcos Aldana, arenowned jazz saxophonist.

The young girl pesteredher father to teach her as well.He began by teaching her toplay two notes. She was 6-years old.

Thus began a career thathas taken Aldana to stagesaround the globe — includ-ing Cleveland, where she willco-headline a show at thisyear’s Tri-C JazzFest. She’llperform at 1 p.m. Saturday,June 25, 2016, at PlayhouseSquare’s Hanna Theatre.

Aldana embraces the tra-dition of jazz while buildingher own personal sonic vo-cabulary. Her style wowedjudges at the TheloniousMonk International JazzCompetition in 2013, whereshe became the first female towin the illustrious event.

“I understand that beingfrom Chile, being young andbeing a woman makes mestand out,” said Aldana, now27. “But what I really wantpeople to see is that jazz andmusic transcend gender andage. The most importantthing is the quality of themusic and what you feelwhen you hear it.”

Aldana’s adolescence wasfilled with learning solos bymany of the jazz greats, in-cluding her father’s favorites— Charlie Parker, Cannon-ball Adderley, and MichaelBrecker. She would play theirworks over and over, hun-

dreds of times, until the soundmatched.

“I think it’s one of the bestways to teach a little kid be-cause I learned everything bylistening to the masters,” shesaid.

By her early teens, Aldanawas frequenting the Santiagojazz clubs, and by 16, she washeadlining sets at the Club deJazz de Santiago, which, at thetime, was the main hub of theChilean jazz community.

It was around that time thatAldana met Panamanian jazzpianist Danilo Pérez, who waspart of the faculty at BerkleeCollege of Music. Pérez in-vited her to play at the PanamaJazz Festival and was instru-mental in bringing her to theUnited States.

Pérez helped to arrange au-ditions for Aldana at bothBerklee and the New EnglandConservatory. She was ac-cepted at both schools anddecided to attend Berklee.

“I didn’t go to Berklee tolearn how to play saxophone,because my father has alreadytaught me how,” Aldana said.“I went to grow as a musician,be around young musiciansand learn from the veterans.”

She did just that by play-ing with fellow students andstudying under the likes ofJoe Lovano, George Garzone,Frank Tiberi, Greg Osby, HalCrook, Dave Santoro, BillPierce, Dino Govoni, andRalph Peterson. She was alsoexposed to a great deal of re-corded jazz music and citesMark Turner and Don Byas ashaving a lasting influence onher playing style.

Aldanamoved toNew Yorka f t e rgraduat-ing fromB e r k l e eand spenta few yearsfrequent-ing thecity’s fa-mous jazzclubs, lis-tening tom u s i c ,playing,meet ingp e o p l e ,and prac-ticing.

O ns t a g e ,A l d a n acaught herfirst bigb r e a kwhen GregOsby ofInner Circle Music invited herto play a weeklong residency atthe Village Vanguard. She re-corded her first album, “FreeFall,” for Osby’s label in 2010.

Since then, she has performedin famed venues such as Dizzy’sClub Coca-Cola at Lincoln Cen-ter and played at prestigious fes-tivals such as the Monterey JazzFestival, Umbria Jazz in Italy,Barcelona Jazz Festival inSpain, and Providencia JazzFestival in her native Chile.

Aldana has also shared thestage with some of the greatestcontemporary jazz artists of ourtime, including: ChristianMcBride, Peter Bernstein, Jeff“Tain” Watts, and Kevin Hays.

This past year she releasedher fourth album, “BackHome,” which has drawnpraise in numerous reviews.Her honors include TheAltazor Award of the Na-tional Arts in Chile for bestalbum and Lincoln Center’sMartin E. Segal Award.

Tickets to Aldana’sJazzFest performance inCleveland cost $25and can be purchasedthrough the PlayhouseSquare Box Office at216-241-6000 or atwww.playhousesquare.org.

COLUMBUS, May 24,2016 (AP): A law trimmingearly voting in Ohio is un-constitutional and cannotbe enforced, a federal judgeruled Tuesday in a case in-volving a series Republi-can-backed voting changesin the presidential battle-ground state.

The state’s DemocraticParty was among the plain-tiffs that sued Ohio’s elec-tions chief over the votingrules.

The challenged policiesincluded the elimination ofa week of early voting inwhich Ohioans could alsoregister to vote—a periodknown as golden week.Democrats alleged thechanges disproportion-ately burdened black vot-ers. The state argued thechanges were minor andthat Ohio residents hadmany opportunities to vote.

U.S. District JudgeMichael Watson sided withDemocrats on their golden-week claim, ruling that thecut violates the VotingRights Act and voters’ equalprotection rights.

Watson said statisticaland anecdotal evidencepresented in the case re-flects that black voters usesame-day voter registrationand early voting options athigher rates than whites.While the court can’t pre-dict how African-Ameri-cans will turn out in futureelections, he said, “It is rea-

HOUSTON, May 23,2016 (AP): A textbook pro-posed to help teach the cul-tural history of Mexican-Americans in Texas pub-lic schools is under scru-tiny by scholars, some ofwhom decry the effort asracist and not a reflectionof serious academic study.

The textbook, titled“Mexican American Heri-tage,” describes Mexican-Americans as people who“adopted a revolutionarynarrative that opposedWestern civilization andwanted to destroy this so-ciety.” It also links Mexi-can-Americans to undocu-mented immigrants, sayingillegal immigration has“caused a number of eco-nomic and security prob-lems” in the U.S. that in-clude: “poverty, drugs,crime, non-assimilation,and exploitation.”

The State Board of Edu-cation voted to includetextbooks on Mexican-American studies after ac-tivists last year demandedthe subject be formallyincluded in state curricu-lum. “Mexican AmericanHeritage” is the first text-book on the subject in-cluded in a list of proposedinstructional materials.

“Paradoxically, wepressed for the board to in-clude texts on Mexican-American studies, and weachieved it, but not in theway we were expecting,”Tony Díaz, host of NuestraPalabra (Our Word) radioprogram in Houston anddirector of Intercultural

SAN FRANCISCO, May24, 2016 (AP): Despite somenegative feedback after aMexican man allegedlykilled a woman along a wa-terfront pier, San Franciscoofficials upheld the city’ssanctuary protections forpeople who are in the coun-try without documentation.

The Board of Supervisorsvoted unanimously on Tues-day for a measure that clari-fies when city workers, in-cluding police officers, cannotify Immigration and Cus-toms Enforcement of aperson’s immigration status.Generally, the defendantmust be charged with a vio-lent crime and is someonewho has been convicted of aviolent crime within the pastseven years.

The measure, however,also grants San Francisco’ssheriff leeway to contact im-migration authorities in thelimited cases of defendantscharged with a felony if theyhave been convicted of otherfelonies in the past.

The vote comes at a timeof deep distrust between lawenforcement and minoritycommunities in San Fran-cisco. Last week, the policechief was forced to resignafter officers shot to deathan unarmed black woman,the third such death sinceDecember.

Advocates of sanctuary

SOUTH KINGSTOWN,R.I., May 22, 2016 (AP):U.S. Supreme Court Jus-tice Sonia Sotomayor hasadvised the class of 2016at the University of RhodeIsland to hold onto thememories they’ve createdand learn from their mis-takes.

Sotomayor spoke atthe Sunday commence-ment ceremony at thepublic university’s cam-pus in South Kingstown.She also received an

honorary degree.Sotomayor spoke of

the importance of whatshe called “aha” and“uh-oh” moments. Shesaid these moments pro-vide life-long lessons inasking for help to reachimportant goals.

Sotomayor is the firstHispanic and thirdwoman to serve on theSupreme Court.

More than 3,300 stu-dents received their de-grees from the school on

Sunday. URI says 57 per-cent of the 2016 graduatesare women and 43 percentare men.

protections at the boardmeeting cheered theproposal’s passage, evenwith the discretions giventhe sheriff. They say that aclear division between lo-cal law enforcement andfederal immigration au-thorities is needed to fostertrust.

The sanctuary law datesback to 1989.

The killing of KateSteinle in July 2015 andthe arrest of Juan FranciscoLópez-Sánchez put SanFrancisco’s leaders on thedefensive as critics andoutside politicians, includ-ing presumptive GOP presi-dential nominee DonaldTrump, called for a changein the city’s sanctuary law.

The sheriff at the time,Ross Mirkarimi, cited thelaw in defending the releaseof the man, an alleged re-peat drug offender and ha-bitual border-crosser.Mirkarimi, already facingtough re-election prospects,lost to a candidate who saidshe would have consideredgreater communication be-tween the city and federalgovernment.

That sheriff, VickiHennessy, fought theboard’s original proposaland said her office shouldhave more discretion. As aconstitutionally electedofficer, she does not have to

follow board orders.Supervisor John Avalos,

the measure’s chief spon-sor, said that a judge mustfind that the defendant islikely guilty of a violentfelony before the rule cankick in. That’s a higher stan-dard than a simple chargeby the district attorney’soffice, he said.

“This is actually legisla-tion that sets a clear stan-dard for how we practiceour sanctuary-city policiesin San Francisco,” Avalossaid.

Hennessy said sheworked on a compromisebecause she “felt it was bet-ter for the city to have oneunified policy and still havemore options for reviewthan what we have now.”

The ordinance allows thesheriff to share release in-formation with ICE if theperson is charged with afelony and has been con-victed of one serious felonyor convicted of three otherqualifying felonies withinthe previous five years.

Hennessey said Tuesdaythat she would not have con-tacted ICE in the case ofLópez-Sánchez because hewas not wanted on a felony.

“We reached agreementthat will serve public safety,family unity and bring ourcommunity together,” shesaid.

Initiatives at Lone Star Col-lege-North Harris, told theHouston Chronicle (http://bit.ly/244zWSq ). “Insteadof a text that is respectful ofthe Mexican-American his-tory, we have a book poorlywritten, racist, and preparedby non-experts.”

The Texas EducationAgency says it followedstandard procedure for thecall to submit instructionalmaterials for Mexican-American curriculums forthe 2017-2018 school year.

Texans have until Sep-tember to submit commentson the proposed instruc-tional materials, said TEAspokeswoman DeEttaCulbertson. She also saidthe proposed textbooks willundergo review by a com-mittee that includes teach-ers and administrators andthat committee will makerecommendations to theboard.

Ultimately, booksadopted by the elected mem-bers of the Texas State Boardof Education in Novemberbecome part of the recom-mended instructional mate-rials for statewide curricu-lums, but school districtsaren’t required to embracethem. Individual districtscan use their state money tobuy whatever textbooksthey wish.

The book “is not a textthat we have recommendednor we will be recommend-ing,” says Douglas Torres-Edwards, coordinator of aTEA-approved Mexican-American studies coursethat has been implemented

in some Houston Indepen-dent School Districtschools. “Frankly, that au-thor is not recognized assomeone who is part of theMexican-American studiesscholarship and most indi-viduals engaged in schol-arship will not recognizeher as an author.”

The book is producedby Momentum Instruction,a company that appears tobe owned or operated byCynthia Dunbar, a memberof the Texas State Board ofEducation from 2007 to2011. Dunbar, a right-wingChristian activist who ques-tioned the constitutional-ity of public schools in2008, labeled the educa-tion system “tyrannical”when she published herbook, “One Nation UnderGod,” while serving on theboard.

The Chronicle was un-able to reach Dunbar or anyof the books other authors.A phone message and emailto Momentum Instructionfrom The Associated Presswere not immediately re-turned Monday.

The Texas Board ofEducation’s members sanc-tion textbooks for use state-wide in a process that hasfor years been marred byideological fights over les-sons on subjects includingevolution, climate changeand the influence of bibli-cal figures such as Moseson America’s FoundingFathers.

sonable to conclude from thisevidence that their right tovote will be modestly bur-dened” by the law.

The state plans to appealthe decision, a spokesmanfor Ohio’s attorney generalsaid.

More than 60,000 peoplevoted during golden week in2008, while over 80,000 castballots during the period in2012, Watson noted in hisdecision.

Ohio Democratic Partychairman David Peppercalled the ruling “a win forthe voters,” who won’t haveto make two trips to registerand vote.

Plus, he said during a con-ference call, “You’re talkingabout the number of votesthat can frankly make thedifference in an election.”

The state had said thatscrapping the days helpedalleviate administrative bur-dens for local elections offi-cials while reducing costs andthe potential of fraud.

“The Court finds that thesejustifications do not out-weigh the burden imposed,”Watson wrote.

Should Watson’s decisionstand, Ohio residents wouldagain have a 35-day windowto vote early by mail or inperson before Election Day.

The judge sided with thestate on other challengedpolicies in the case, includ-ing restrictions on the num-ber of early voting locationsand rules for absentee ballot

mailings.Republican Secretary of

State Jon Husted said hewas pleased to see many ofthe existing laws upheld,but expressed disappoint-ment in the golden-weekruling.

“If it was constitutionalfor lawmakers to expandthe voting period to 35days, it must also be consti-tutional for the same legis-lative body to amend thetimeframe to 28 days, atimeframe that remains oneof the most generous in thenation,” Husted said in awritten statement.

Because of the law andother schedule changes,Ohio voters were expectedto have three fewer days tovote in person this presi-dential election year com-pared with the 2012 presi-dential election.

Pepper said he was stillreviewing the other aspectsof the decision.

The lawsuit was filedlast May, shortly afterHusted reached a deal withthe Ohio chapter of theNAACP and other civilrights groups in a separate,long-running dispute overearly voting. That case hadchallenged the early vot-ing hours that Husted setand the elimination ofgolden week.

The settlement in theNAACP case expanded theearly voting times but didnot reinstate golden week.

CIUDAD DE MEXICO, 26V 16 (AP): Roberta Jacobson,la nueva embajadora deEstados Unidos en México yuna de las diplomáticasconsideradas con mayorconocimiento deLatinoamérica, llegó el juevesa la capital mexicana paraasumir un encargo que porprimera vez será ocupada poruna mujer.

En un breve mensaje a laprensa a su arribo al país, ladiplomática se dijoemocionada y honrada por elnuevo cargo, además de queconfió que habrá una“excelente comunicación”entre Estados Unidos yMéxico.

Dijo que uno de sus deseoses conocer la “rica cultura”del país, para lo cual “tengo laintención de viajar a lo largo yancho de México para conocerlos atributos únicos de cadaregión y poder escuchar a losmexicanos de viva voz”.

Jacobson asumirá en unmomento que la migración ylos mexicanos han estado enel centro de las campañasp r e s i d e n c i a l e sestadounidenses, en particu-lar por críticas del republicanoDonald Trump, aunquealgunos creen que la nuevaembajadora buscará mostrarseneutral.

PANAMA, 25 V 16 (AP):Panamá trasladó el miércolesvía aérea hacia México a 158cubanos, concluyendo de esamanera una medida que lesfacilitó a miles de isleños eltransporte hacia CiudadJuárez, en la frontera conEstados Unidos.

El Servicio Nacional deMigración informó miércolesde la salida de los últimos dosvuelos con migrantes cubanosque se beneficiaron de unsegundo puente aéreo quecomenzó el pasado nueve demayo. La entidad dijo que elgobierno asumió por razoneshumanitarias parte del costodel boleto de los cubanos queviajaron el miércoles.

Asimismo recordó que elpuente aéreo fue acordadoentre México y Panamá concarácter temporal y tiempodeterminado.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico,26 V 16 (AP): El gobernadorde Puerto Rico perdió eljueves una batalla paraincrementar un impuesto atransacciones entreempresas y para imponer unatransición a un sistema deimpuesto al valor agregadoen medio de una crisiseconómica.

Los senadores reunieronsuficientes votos paraaprobar una iniciativa de ley

que había sido vetadapreviamente por el gobernadorAlejandro García Padilla,quien advirtió a los legisladoresque sus acciones empujarían alterritorio estadounidenses a unproblema financiero másprofundo. El proyecto de leyimpide un aumento al impuestoa transacciones entre empresasde 4% a 10,5% que entrarían enefecto la próxima semana.

García dijo que lossenadores que pasaron

sobre su veto actuaronirresponsablemente y queno asociaron ningunanueva fuente de ingresos,que tanto se necesitan.

Puerto Rico estátrastabillando en mediode un estancamientoeconómico de 10 años yenfrenta la carga de una deudapública de 70.000 millonesde dólares que García ha dichoque es impagable y necesitaser reestructurada.

alojados en Chiriquí, seprocedió al cierre definitivo delalbergue ubicado en lacomunidad de Los Planes, en eldistrito de Gualaca”, dijo laentidad en un comunicado. Laprovincia chiricana fronterizacon Costa Rica está ubicada aunos 450 kilómetros al oeste dela capital.

El puente humanitarioincluyó 22 vuelos a México yel traslado de los cubanos víaterrestre desde Chiriquí haciael aeropuerto internacional, enla capital. En este segundoejercicio fueron trasladados aCiudad Juárez a 3.161 cubanos.

En una medida similarllevada a cabo en marzo fuerontrasladados 1.301 cubanos. Entotal en los dos operativosviajaron a México 4.462cubanos.

Los migrantes cubanosquedaron varados en una zonade Panamá limítrofe con Costa

Rica debido a la imposibilidadde transportarse por tierrahasta suelo estadounidense.Costa Rica y Nicaraguabloquearon el paso a ese flujoirregular de migrantes a finesdel año pasado.

El flujo migratorio decubanos hacia Panamá datadesde hace varios años perose intensificó después de queCuba y Estados Unidosrestablecieron relaciones trasmedio siglo de hostilidades,lo que puso en duda lavigencia de la ley de ajustecubano de 1961 que facilitala migración de los isleñosque ingresan por tierra aterritorio estadounidense.

La oficina de migraciónrecordó asimismo que siguevigente el cierre temporal dela frontera de Panamá con Co-lombia con el fin de reducir elflujo migratorio irregular queafecta la región.

Trump en otros temas comomigración o comercio”, dijo aThe Associated Press AntonioGarza, embajadorestadounidense en México de2002 a 2009.

Trump, quien el juevesalcanzó el número dedelegados necesario paraasegurar la nominación de esepartido para la presidencia, haenfurecido a muchos en lacomunidad hispana porcalificar a los mexicanos de“violadores”, además de susafirmaciones de que obligaráal gobierno de México a pagarpor un muro fronterizo.

Como parte de unaestrategia para difundir entrelos diversos sectoresestadounidenses lacontribución que losmexicanos hacen a la sociedady economía de Estados Unidos,México nombrórecientemente a un nuevoembajador ante Washingtoncon una amplia trayectoriadiplomática en el vecino paísdel norte, en particular en elárea consular.

Conforme a las reglasdiplomáticas, Jacobson aúntiene que entregar sus cartascredenciales al presidenteEnrique Peña Nieto paraasumir sus funciones en pleno,aunque todavía no hay unafecha programada.

Antes de ser nominada porel presidente Barack Obamacomo embajadora en México,Jacobson era subsecretaria deEstado para Asuntos delHemisferio Occidental, puestoen el que participó de maneraprominente en lasnegociaciones con Cuba pararestablecer las relaciones

diplomáticas tras cincodécadas de distanciamiento.

Jacobson tuvo que esperarmeses para poder finalmentellegar a México comoembajadora, debido a que elsenador por Florida y exaspirante presidencialrepublicano Marco Rubiobloqueó su nombramiento,por el papel que ella jugó enla normalización derelaciones entre Cuba yEstados Unidos.

Obama la eligió en junioy la Comisión de RelacionesExteriores del Senado aprobóel nombramiento a principiosde noviembre, aunque luegovino el bloqueo de Rubio.

El ex embajador Garzacalificó a Jacobson como“una diplomáticaextraordinariamente capaz”y “la mejor de una generacióncuando se trata de AméricaLatina”.

Consideró que las tareasde la nueva embajadoraincluirán temas “perennes”de interés bilateral, como elcomercio y la migración, locual incluye el reto de ser lacara pública de EstadosUnidos en México en mediode la campaña presidenciaestadounidense y las críticasde Trump a los mexicanos.

Garza añadió que estambién de esperarse queJacobson promueva entre lasautoridades mexicanas lanecesidad de mejorar ladefensa de los derechoshumanos y la seguridad.

MEXICO CITY, May 23,2016 (AP): Any Cabrera, aveteran AP journalist whocovered many of LatinAmerica’s biggest storiesduring 33 years as a reporterand editor, died suddenlyMonday morning at her homein Mexico City.

Cabrera, 60, was the newseditor of the AP’s Spanish-language news service, basedin Mexico City. She workedwith reporters across LatinAmerica as well as some inSpain and the United States.

The American CivilLiberties Union of Ohiohas fired at warning shotat Cleveland officials overthe free speech rights ofgroups who plan to pro-test at the Republican Na-tional Convention, sched-uled for the last week inJuly, 2016. The ACLU ofOhio claims in a letter thatcity officials are delayingapproval of event permits.

The ACLU is repre-senting Citizens forTrump, Organize Ohio,and individual activistJohn Penley, all of whomare organizing events dur-ing the RNC in Clevelandthis July. The civil rightsgroup claims delays inpermit review are threat-ening the ability of orga-nizers to hold those eventsbecause necessary planscannot be finalized with-out proper, timely re-sponses from city officials.In its letter, ACLU offi-cials “strongly urge” thecity to issue those permitsby June 1 or the group willseek court action.

“Delays by the city areeffectively blockinggroups from exercisingtheir fundamental right topolitical expression,”said Christine Link, ex-ecutive director of theACLU of Ohio. “Cleve-land is using security plan-ning as a mask to suppresspolitical speech.”

The ACLU contendssuch “prior restraint” vio-lates the First Amend-ment. Citizens for Trumpand Organize Ohio eachhave been told by cityofficials no decisions willbe made until just twoweeks before the RNCconvention in July. Orga-nize Ohio expects 3,000to 5,000 marchers at aplanned protest rally,while a protest parade byCitizens for Trump is ex-pected to attract more than

100 vehicles, 100 motor-cycles and 5,000-plus par-ticipants.

“Expecting groups towait until July for a deci-sion from the city plainlydenies people access to thisevent,” Link said. “Orga-nizers need adequate no-tice to arrange transporta-tion, rent equipment, andnotify their supporters. Thecity is approaching a pointwhere people have nochoice but to abandon theopportunity to expressthemselves on a nationalstage or simply break thelaw.”

Published reports indi-cate at least six groups havefiled permit requests withCleveland city officials,which has stated no paraderoutes will be released untilcity officials hear details ofa security perimeter forQuicken Loans Arena, wherethe RNC convention will beheld July 18-21.

Some requests were filedas far back as February andMarch.

Otherwise, city leaders,citing security reasons,have been largely silent onconvention-planning de-tails as a $50 million fed-eral convention-securitygrant is spent. The ACLUcontends in the letter theconcern has been raised nu-merous times in communi-cations with the city and inface-to-face meetings.

“The city of Clevelandhas an obligation to ensurethat everyone’s constitu-tional rights are protected

during the convention,”Link said. “The FirstAmendment applies toeveryone regardless oftheir political views, andcannot be simply castaside in the name of secu-rity planning.”

ACLU-Ohio also re-cently completed a pro-test handbook entitled“2016 Republican Na-tional Convention: AC o n s t i t u t i o n a lPlaybook.” The manualgives demonstrations po-tential do’s and don’ts fortheir behavior, especiallyaround police.

Much of the playbookcovers what rights protest-ors do and don’t have un-der the First Amendment,including the lack of aright to block entrancesto buildings and callingit free speech. Potentialdemonstrators are urgedto assume they’ll be un-der observation and ex-pect police to be record-ing their activities as evi-dence.

ACLU officials saythey’ve fielded dozens ofcalls from those curiousabout their actual rights.For example, police can-not confiscate aprotestor’s phone or otherrecording device withouta warrant, unless makingan arrest. Police and fed-eral agents also can infil-trate a protest group dur-ing the convention, andeven allowed to lie andpose as civilians in personor on social media.

“Any was the calm voice ofreason on the other end of theline, the unflappable editorwho always knew what had tobe done next,” said Paul Ha-ven, the cooperative’s newsdirector for Latin America andthe Caribbean. “She wasloved and admired by every-body.”

Cabrera began working asan AP correspondent in ElSalvador in 1983 during thatcountry’s bloody civil war,and her dispatches stood outfor their objectivity, transpar-ency and balance in a pro-foundly polarized country.

After the war’s end in 1992,Cabrera was assigned by theAP to report news from the

Brazilian capital, Brasilia,including the South Ameri-can giant’s transition to de-mocracy after two decades ofdictatorship.

In 2000 she transferred toMexico City to become aneditor on the Spanish servicenews desk.

Her death was the top searchterm on the Chinesemicroblogging site Weibo onWednesday, a testimony to herfame and the public adorationshe enjoyed.

In a 1981 collection of es-says, Yang wrote with a senseof poignancy on the daily livesof Chinese intellectuals dur-ing the chaos of the CulturalRevolution, when scholars andintellectuals were forced toperform hard labor.

Her 2003 essay collection“We Three,” about her familylife with her late husband andtheir daughter, was a best-seller.

Yang was married to QianZhongshu, best known for hisnovel “Fortress Besieged,”and theirs was widely seen asa model union set against thebackground of China’s tur-bulent 20th century.

After Qian’s death in 1998,Yang embarked on the taskof compiling and editing herhusband’s unpublishedworks and remained prolificherself.

In addition to “We Three,”she published a sequel to hernovel “Baptism” at age 103.

LONDRES, 26 V 16(AP): Ha ganado el Oscarpor su interpretación deHannibal Lecter, uno de losmás grandes villanos de lahistoria del cine, pero ahoraque interpreta a un titán delteatro en decadencia en lanueva película paratelevisión “The Dresser”,Anthony Hopkins dice que“no estaba hecho para seractor”.

“Quería ser un músico,pero me desvié hacia estenegocio por error”, dijoHopkins a The AssociatedPress. “Sigo a la expectativapensando que algún díaalguien dirá ‘lo sientoTony estás en el negocioequivocado”’.

Pero la industria no tieneestas dudas. Hopkins fuenominado al Oscar porinterpretar al presidenteNixon en la películahomónima de Oliver Stone,a John Quincy Adams en eldrama sobre esclavitud“Amistad” y al leal mayor-domo Stevens en “The Re-mains of the Day”.Finalmente ganó el Premiode la Academia al mejoractor por Lecter, un asesinocaníbal y en serie de “Elsilencio de los inocentes”.

En “The Dresser”—quese transmitirá el lunes enEstados Unidos por el canalStarz—el actor galés de 78años interpreta a Sir, un actordramático cascarrabias quemonta una produccióndestartalada de “El rey Lear”y lucha contra las dolenciasde su edad.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, 22V 16 (AP): Más de mil personasse acercaron el domingo alColiseo Freeman de esta ciudadpara despedir a Emilio Navaira,el “Rey del Tejano” fallecidoel lunes en New Braunfels a los53 años.

Las puertas del lugar,escenario de algunas de susmás recordadas actuaciones, seabrieron a las 10 de la mañanay cientos de personas hicieronuna ordenada fila para dar unúltimo adiós y sacarse una fotofrente al cuerpo sin vida delídolo local. La mayoría se sentódespués en las tribunas paracantar a viva voz mientras veíanen pantallas gigantesactuaciones, reportajes y vid-eos de Emilio.

“Es un día muy especialpara mí”, dijo a The AssociatedPress Ruby Puente Losoya,quien afirmó que Emilio fue suvecino en 1989, cuando vivíaen Palo Alto, Texas, y que tocóen su quinceañera en 1984.“Nunca lo olvidaré. Él reciénempezaba y cantó junto conDavid Lee (Garza), Jay (Pérez),y Ram (Herrera)”.

Antes de lanzarse comosolista en 1989, Emilio, al igualque Pérez y Herrera, había sidocantante de Los Musicales, labanda liderada por Garza.

“Mi hijos fueron a lasecundaria McCollum, comoEmilio, y uno de ellos, SergioQuintanilla, era compañero deél”, dijo a la AP María ElbaJiménez, una anciana deMonterrey que bailaba conentusiasmo en las afueras delcoliseo. Sobre su hombroapoyaba una radiocaseteraportátil de la cual sonaba

de dos aristócratas británicos (am-bos han sido nombrados caballe-ros por la reina Isabel II).

“The Dresser” es una aadaptación de la obra de RonaldHarwood, una oda agridulce alteatro, con sus pleitos,camaradería ytransformaciones mágicas enel escenario.

Hopkins no tiene recuerdostan gratos de su propiaexperiencia en la legendariacompañía Teatro Nacional deLaurence Olivier.

“Me pareció un purgatorioabsoluto”, dijo. “Todos esosgiros interminables siendo unpapel sin diálogo, corriendocon medias arrugadas hacia elOtelo de Olivier”.

“No soy bueno trabajandoen equipo, soy un poco salvajey un poco loco, simplementequiero salir y hacer algodiferente y no podía soportar larutina. Las tardes de miércoleslluviosas en Waterloo Road mehacían pensar, ‘por Dios, quévida tan deprimente”’.

Hopkins se enfocó enpapeles de cine tras tener sudebut en pantalla interpretandoa Ricardo Corazón de León en“The Lion in Winter” de 1968.Es famoso por abandonar unaproducción de teatro de“Macbeth” de 1973 a mediatemporada, y no ha actuado enteatro por cerca de 30 años.Uno de sus últimos papeles enteatro fue en una producciónde National Theatre de 1986,precisamente en “El rey Lear”.

Recordó que no tuvo muchoéxito estaba “demasiado joven,demasiado confundido ydemasiado inestable” parainterpretar al rey caído endesgracia de Shakespeare.

“Simplemente quería salircorriendo del teatro”, dijo. “No

era la culpa de nadie, DavidHare hizo una buenaproducción, perosimplemente yo no estaba ala altura”.

El productor ColinCallender dijo que lapelícula para televisióncomenzó como un intentopara atraer a Hopkins alescenario en un nuevomontaje de “The Dresser”.Callender voló a Los Ange-les para reunirse con Hopkinsy “mientras me iba sentandome dijo ‘nunca voy a haceresto en el teatro, pero lo harépara televisión”’.

Hopkins dijo que filmar“The Dresser”—grabada enlos estudios Ealing y en elgran teatro Hackney Empirede Londres—le hizo pasarmuy buenos momentoscomo actor.

“La obra está tan bienescrita y Ronald Harwoodtoca la esencia del actor”,dijo. “Pensé ‘sí, conozco aeste tipo, sé exactamentecómo interpretarlo porque hesido eso, soy eso”’.

Hopkins interpretafragmentos de “El rey Lear”en “The Dresser” y laexperiencia le ha dado valorpara abordar una vez más latragedia de Shakespeare.Interpretará al rey en unaversión de televisión hechapor la compañía deCallender para la BBC.

Y eso le ha hecho imaginarde manera distinta su versiónpara teatro.

“Ian intenta que regreseal escenario, pero no creotener el valor para hacerlo”,dijo. “No creo, no estoyseguro, es algo que dejo quepase por ahí en mi cabeza,quizá un día”.

música de Emilio a todovolumen. “Llevaré a Emiliosiempre en mi corazón”.

La policía y personal deseguridad del Coliseo Free-man anticipaban que para las4 de la tarde llegarían cientosde personas más para elrosario. A las 3 de la tarde, elsemicírculo de un lado delestacionamiento del coliseoestaba casi repleto y, dentrodel recinto, parecían habermás de 1.000 personas,incluyendo familiares ycolegas de Emilio.

Entre éstos se destacó lapresencia del cantante tejanoRubén Ramos (“El Gato Ne-gro”), de Max Baca (bajosexto y líder de LosTexmaniacs) y delacordeonista Chente Barrera.También se había anunciadoque estaría allí Oscar De LaRosa, cantante de La Mafia,así como las actuaciones deDestiny y Rodrigo Navaira(hijos de Raulito quecantarían ̀ `Una hora más’’) yde Mariachi Campanas deAmérica (de San Antonio,interpretando ``Mundoraro’’).

El senador estatal JoséMenéndez confirmó durantela ceremonia que el Senadoestatal leerá una proclama paraEmilio y mantendrá labandera de Texas a media astaen su memoria. Otro senadorestatal, Carlos Uresti, escribióun mensaje para Emilio enTwitter: “Cántale una cancióna mi madre cuando laencuentres en la puerta delcielo. íElla amaba tu música!”.El lunes, además, habrá unamisa en la Catedral San

Fernando de San Antonio.El músico Raúl Navaira,

hermano de Emilio conocidolocalmente como “Raulito”,fue el maestro de ceremoniasideal y, aunque estabavisiblemente emocionado, nofaltaron sus habituales toquesde humor.

“Les voy a contar unahistoria que nos pasó enMonterrey, un lugar queamamos”, dijo Raulito ante elaplauso y los gritos de losmuchos regiomontanospresentes, muchos de los cualeslucieron orgullosos susplayeras de los “Rayados” delMonterrey, flamantesfinalistas de la Liga Mexicanade fútbol. “Después delaccidente, Emilio dijo tenermiedo de olvidarse de las letrasde las canciones, y yo le digo,‘íPero manito, antes delaccidente también teolvidabas!”.

Diego y Emilio IV, los hijosde Emilio, provocaron laprimera ovación de pie conuna versión acústica (ambosen guitarra) del éxito “It’s Notthe End of the World”, incluidaen “Life is Good” (1995), elprimer álbum de música coun-try de su progenitor.

CLEVELAND: About100 high school and col-lege students will be pre-sented scholarships atthe annual Fiesta ofHope luncheon on Fri-day, June 10, 2016, atthe Cleveland Renais-sance Hotel Ballroom.

Since the event’s in-ception, Esperanza hasawarded more than 1,200scholarships. Most ofthose scholarships rangefrom $1,000 to $2,500.But there is one scholar-ship of $5,000 and an-other for $10,000. Thelatter one will be awardedagain this year, becausethe past recipient hasgraduated college. Thenew $10,000 awardee isa junior a ClevelandState University. Thedonor will support thestudent until he achievesa bachelor’s degree.

“They go up on stageand they’re given a cer-tificate—kind of like agraduation, ceremony,”said Victor Ruiz ,Esperanza executive di-rector. “There will be 700to 800 people, cheeringand rallying them on.”

The recognition ofpast achievement and re-al izat ion of futuredreams means more thanjust dollar signs to stu-dents. The scholarshipmeans opportunity andpossibility to a low-in-come student, only ninepercent of whom canchase a college educa-tion due to financial con-straints. The donor gen-erosity behind Fiesta ofHope simply meansthere’s someone outthere who believes inthem and wants to helpremove barriers to thosedreams.

“A lot of them havesaid that as wonderful asthe money is, the fact thatthey have the supportnetwork is really what

makes it empowering andworthwhile,” said Ruiz. “Forme, as a spectator, it’s awonderful feeling just to bea part of their cheerleadingsquad.”

Most of the scholarshipsare awarded to students whohave gone throughEsperanza’s academic suc-cess programs which focuson increasing the Latinograduation rate in greaterCleveland.

“It’s proof that what we’redoing works. I think it vali-dates the work that we do,”said Ruiz. “Our coordina-tors put blood, sweat, andtears behind this, treat themlike their own children. Soit’s like seeing your ownchild being successful .They swell up with pride.They’re as excited as a fam-ily member. I think it vali-dates why they get up earlyevery day, work late hours,and then this is why they dowhat they do.”

Esperanza’s executivedirector stated the luncheonmeans as much to theagency’s staff and volun-teers as it does the scholar-ship recipients. He called itre-energizing to an ex-hausted group of helpers,who now must retool forsummer.

“It’s right after schoolends. It’s after the first sixmonths pulling a lot of latehours, just getting those kidsacross the finish line,” saidRuiz. “It is a great energizerto start the summer program-ming.”

But only one in five ofthis year’s scholarship re-cipients will be high schoolgraduates, representing abig departure from past prac-tice.

“The biggest differencethis year is we’ve instituteda renewal process,” saidRuiz. “So if you got a schol-arship last year, we’ve madeit a lot easier to for you to getit this year. So what you’reseeing this year is about 80

percent will be returningcollege students. This re-newal process was impor-tant so we can stay con-nected to them.”

Esperanza’s board ofdirectors recently ap-proved a new strategicplan. So the agency’sfocus will expand to theretention and comple-tion of college by Latinostudents. New program-ming soon will launchwith college students inmind.

“We’ve been so fo-cused on the high schoolgraduation rate becauseit was so low and it wasan immediate need. Nowthat we’ve been success-ful in moving the needleon that, we’re going togrow that so we’re notletting that go,” saidRuiz. “But we’re addingthis component of reten-tion and recruitment andwe are seeing it with ourstudents, in high num-bers. Latino studentstend to fare worse, notjust in Cleveland but na-tionally. This is our nextchallenge.”

The agency started to-ward those goals with theformation of theEsperanza Alumni Asso-ciation in 2013. The ideawas to create a commu-nity of past program par-ticipants and scholarshiprecipients for opportuni-ties to network, recon-nect, and volunteer. Nowthe alumni associationnumbers more than 270Latino high schoolgraduates who learnabout scholarship oppor-tunities, internships, andjobs to help them com-plete college and enterthe workforce as youngadults.

Luncheon tickets are$80 and can be pur-chased by visi t ingwww.esperanzainc.org/fiesta16.

BATON ROUGE, La.,May 26, 2016 (AP): A Loui-siana man has pleaded guiltyto a charge that he preyed ondozens of undocumentedimmigrants in federal deten-tion facilities by promisingthem legal assistance buttaking their money withoutproviding any help.

Edwin Zavala Jr., ofLafayette, pleaded guiltyWednesday in federal courtto a wire-fraud charge thatcarries a maximum sentenceof 20 years in prison and a$250,000 fine. A date for hissentencing hearing inLafayette wasn’t immedi-ately set.

Zavala isn’t an attorney,but a court filing says hereceived more than $42,000from 44 people who paidhim for legal assistance indeportation proceedings, toassist them in obtainingwork permits or to get some-one freed from a detentionfacility.

Zavala typically ceasedall contact with them oncehe was paid, without provid-ing any help, the filing says.

Texas Attorney GeneralKen Paxton’s office filed acivil lawsuit last monthagainst Zavala and his com-pany, United ImmigrationConsulting LLC, over re-lated allegations.

BATON ROUGE, Loui-siana, 26 V 16 (AP): Unhombre de Louisiana sedeclaró culpable dehaberse aprovechado dedecenas de inmigrantes sinpermiso de estancia en elpaís que se encontraban eninstalaciones federales dedetención, al prometerlesasistencia jurídica por lacual les cobró sinproporcionarles ayuda.

Edwin Zavala Jr., deLafayette, se declaró cul-pable el miércoles en unacorte federal a un cargo defraude que conlleva unasentencia máxima de 20años en prisión y una multade 250.000 dólares. No seagendó de inmediato unafecha para su audiencia desentencia en Lafayette.

Zavala no es unabogado, pero undocumento presentadoante la corte señala querecibió más de 42.000dólares de 44 personas quele pagaron por asistenciajurídica en procedimientosde deportación, paraayudarles a obtenerpermisos de trabajo o paraliberar a alguien de unainstalación de detención.

Zavala normalmentecesó todo contacto conellos una vez que lepagaron, sinproporcionarles ningunaayuda, indica eldocumento.

La oficina del fiscal gen-eral de Texas Ken Paxtonpresentó el mes pasado unademanda civil contraZavala y contra sucompañía, United Immi-gration Consulting LLC,

sobre acusacionesrelacionadas.

En junio de 2014, elDepartamento de SeguridadNacional de Estados Unidoscomenzó a investigaracusaciones de que UnitedImmigration Consultingenvió por correo montonesde cartas a inmigrantes sinpermiso de estancia en elpaís que estaban en centrosde detención del Servicio deControl de Inmigración yAduanas de Estados Unidos(ICE por sus iniciales eninglés) en Texas. Las cartas,que anunciaban en españollos servicios de la compañía,fueron dirigidas a detenidosespecíficos y tenían en elsobre su número de registrode extranjero, según eldocumento presentado elmiércoles a la corte.

“Tenemos que enseñar aEstados Unidos que loshispanos merecen teneroportunidades en este país”,decía una carta, según el actade acusación contra Zavalapresentada en marzo. “Ustedy todos los demás que hansido detenidos vinieron aeste país por una vida mejor,no para ser detenidos”.

En noviembre de 2013,un agente de SeguridadNacional llamó por teléfonoa Zavala y se hizo pasar porun familiar de un detenidodel ICE en el estado de Wash-ington, según el documentopresentado el miércoles. Elagente envió a Zavala ungiro por un pago de 840dólares para querepresentara a su familiarficticio en un procedimientode inmigración.

Después de que el agente

llamó a Zavala parapreguntar por qué nadie desu empresa se presentó enla audiencia deinmigración, Zavala dejóde responder las llamadasdel agente, indica eldocumento.

Zavala pidió dinero aclientes en otros estados.El documento dice querecibió un pago de 2.250dólares de un residente enCalifornia pero no realizólos servicios prometidos.

Paul Parsons, unabogado con residencia enAustin, Texas,especializado en ley deinmigración, dijo que otroabogado le mostró unvolante que al parecer hizocircular Zavala en centrosde detención deinmigración en el centrode Texas para publicitarsus servicios de “asesoríaen inmigración”. Parsonsdijo que notificó a ladivisión de protección alconsumidor del fiscal gen-eral de Texas sobre elvolante haceaproximadamente dosaños.

“Cuando lo vi meindigné”, comentó Par-sons. “Estos inmigrantescon aspiraciones, detenidoo no, son las personas quepueden ser engañadas conmenos esfuerzo paraarrebatarles sus ahorros”.

Un defensor públicofederal que representó aZavala en la audiencia delmiércoles no respondió deinmediato una llamadatelefónica de The Associ-ated Press hecha paraconocer su comentario.

In June 2014, the U.S.Department of Homeland Se-curity began investigatingallegations that United Im-migration Consultingmailed batches of letters toundocumented immigrantsat Immigration and CustomsEnforcement [ICE] deten-tion centers in Texas. Theletters advertised thecompany’s services in Span-ish, were addressed to spe-cific detainees and had theirAlien Registration Numberson the envelopes, accord-ing to Wednesday’s courtfiling.

“We have to teach theUnited States that Hispanicsdeserve to have opportuni-ties in this country,” a lettersaid, according to Zavala’sMarch indictment. “You andeveryone else that has beendetained came to this coun-try for a better life, not to bedetained.”

In November 2013, aHomeland Security agentcalled Zavala and pretendedto be a relative of an ICEdetainee in Washingtonstate, according toWednesday’s court filing.The agent wired Zavala adown payment of $840 torepresent his fictional rela-tive in an immigration pro-ceeding.

After the agent called

Zavala to ask him why no-body from his companyshowed up at an immigra-tion hearing, Zavalastopped returning theagent’s calls, the filing said.

Zavala solicited cus-tomers in other states. Thefiling says he received a$2,250 payment from a resi-dent of California but failedto perform the services hepromised.

Paul Parsons, an Austin,Texas-based attorney whospecializes in immigrationlaw, said another lawyershowed him a flier thatZavala apparently circu-lated at immigration deten-tion centers in central Texasto advertise his “immigra-tion consultation” services.Parsons said he notified theTexas attorney general’sconsumer protection divi-sion about the flier abouttwo years ago.

“When I saw it, I wasoutraged,” Parsons said.“These aspiring immi-grants—detained or not—are the people who can leastafford to be cheated out oftheir hard-earned savings.”

A federal public de-fender who representedZavala at Wednesday’shearing didn’t immediatelyreturn a telephone call seek-ing comment.

Have you ever read andre-read the fine print of yourhousing agreement only tofind you’re still scratchingyour head? “One of my firsttasks as a mortgage lenderis to ensure that my clientsfully understand the termsof their agreement,” saidTasha Jacobs, MortgageLender at First FederalBank. “Reviewing pagesand pages or documentscan be daunting for manyhomeowners, especiallynew ones. That is where myexpertise comes in. I takethe time to explain the insand out of mortgage docu-ments.”

Here are the top 5 termsthat Jacobs reviews with herclients:

APR: Short for annualpercentage rate, APR is howmuch your loan will cost overthe course of a year. Thisfigure is almost alwayshigher than the interest ratebecause it takes into accountthe interest charged as wellas fees or additional costsassociated with the loan.Since all lenders use the sameformula, it can be a more ef-fective way of comparingmortgages rather than just

the interest rate.Closing costs/settlement

fees: These are the costs, inaddition to the price of theproperty that buyers and sell-ers are charged to complete areal estate transaction. Costsinclude loan origination fees,discount points, appraisalfees, title searches, title in-surance, surveys, taxes, deed-recording fees and credit re-port charges. Borrowers willreview the cost twice. Thefirst time costs are shown isearly in the mortgage pro-cess on a Loan Estimate, andthen again three days beforeclosing on a Closing Disclo-sure.

Escrow: Escrow accountsare usually required by lend-ers to cover property taxes,mortgage insurance andhomeowners insurance. Af-ter an initial deposit, bor-rowers pay into the escrowmonthly as part of their mort-gage payment. The escrowaccount provides an easyway to make sure that taxesand insurance are alwayspaid.

Private Mortgage Insur-ance (PMI): PMI is an insur-ance policy that protects thelender in case of a default on

the loan payments by re-quiring the borrower topay premiums. Most lend-ers require (PMI) for loanswith loan-to-value (LTV)percentages in excess of80% (In other words, thebuyer puts down less than20% of the home’s valueupon purchase). PMI isnot required when a bor-rower has more than 20%down, and is generallyable to be cancelled atspecific points during theloan.

Points: A point is a feeequal to 1 percent of theloan amount. Borrowerscan pay a lender points toreduce the interest rate onthe loan, resulting in alower monthly payment.Depending on the bor-rower, each point lowersyour interest rate by one-eighth to one one-quarterof a percent.

5 Must-Know Terms for Homeowners

Toledo’s mayor wants tochange the operating structureof the independent Board ofCommunity Relations (BCR),redirecting control to her of-fice. Now there’s fear the BCR’sLatina executive director couldbe replaced in the process.

If that happens, LindaAlvarado-Arce would be thesecond top Latina city admin-istrator to be drummed out ofoffice since Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson was elected, leavingno Latino representation in theupper echelons of city govern-ment. The mayor did re-estab-lish the Hispanic Affairs Com-mission (HAC) last year, butthose appointments also arecontrolled by the mayor andlittle, if anything, has beenheard from the group.

“The only one that can fireme is the board,” said Ms.Alvarado-Arce. “I’m not wor-ried. I do my job. I’m about thepeople. I serve the people. Idon’t know what else to sayabout that.”

The former interim execu-tive director of the ToledoYouth Commission RosalindaContreraz was replaced byMayor Hicks-Hudson earlierthis year. Ms. Contreraz con-tinues to work in city govern-ment, but as a secretary in an-other department.

“That scenario is different.That person was civil-serviceprotected and was an interimexecutive director. That per-son had the option to go intoanother position. I’m totallydifferent,” she said.

According to Ms.Alvarado-Arce, she and thecurrent BCR sent the city lawdepartment proposedchanges to how the boardoperates—including howmembers are appointed andremoved, as well as someoutdated language in the by-

laws and Toledo MunicipalCode.

What came back from thecity law department com-pletely surprised her—codechanges that would give themayor the authority to hire andfire the BCR executive direc-tor, putting her job in directjeopardy. There’s also a sec-tion that removes city councilauthority to set her salary. Ineffect, the BCR director—andthe board itself—loses its au-tonomy.

“I feel I have to fight it—forthe people. The office has beenthere over 60-some years andserves it purpose. It’s autono-mous for a reason,” said Ms.Alvarado-Arce. “Say some-thing happens in Toledo andnobody is willing to say some-thing because they don’t wantto jeopardize their job, theydon’t want to get fired becausethey work for the mayor. Myposition is I work for the citi-zens. That’s who pays my pay-check. My dollars come fromthe citizens. I’m responsible tobe their voice.”

The BCR executive direc-tor is trying to raise the publicprofile of the effort, hoping toget some vocal support fromcommunity leaders—and To-ledo City Council—to stop it.

“The people lose a voice. Ifit goes through the way theywould like, the way the lawdepartment has it written, theywould lose a voice and theopportunity to retain outsidecounsel or anybody to advo-cate for the people,” said Ms.Alvarado-Arce. “If we were toget somebody in place whodoes not look kindly on thehistorically marginalizedpopulations, they will neverget any voice.

“I don’t think you’d everget it back again—the way thestructure is now, I don’t think

you’d ever get it back.”The BCR executive direc-

tor currently earns $65,000per year, less than a city de-partment director. Ms.Alvarado-Arce points outother mayors have tried toaccomplish the same changes,which were met with resis-tance. She’s hoping a publicspotlight will stop the effortagain.

“I do have to do it. I have todo it for the people. They haveto know what’s going on, un-derstand what’s happening,”said Ms. Alvarado-Arce. “Yes,we have to talk about what’soccurring.”

Part of the BCR’s charge,under the law, is to promote“favorable interracial and in-tercultural relationships, co-ordinate activities concernedwith eliminating discrimina-tion, and receive, investigate,seek to mediate…serious andlegitimate complaints of dis-criminatory behavior.”

The BCR executive direc-tor refused to speculate onthe reasoning behind themayor’s effort, whether it’s apolitical ploy, a power grab,or whatever. Mayor Hicks-Hudson isn’t talking.

“I have requested meet-ings. I have yet to talk to herabout it,” said Ms. Alvarado-Arce, calling it “a distractionfrom the real work that needsto be done and that we needto do.”

The mayor has the back-ing of at least one city coun-cil member, Larry Sykes, whowrote a recent guest columnin the Sojourner’s Truth news-paper outlining his stance.

“As mayor in a “strong”mayor system, she is the chiefexecutive officer for the To-ledo. While the City Councilhas legislative power, themayor has veto power,” Sykes

wrote. She directs theadministrative struc-ture and is entitled toappoint and removedepartment heads asnecessary. As mayor,she is also entitled toremove, create or com-bine departments asshe sees fit. There isnothing in the fineprint anywhere that re-quires her to maintaina committee or a boardthat she determinesneeds to be changedor eliminated. She isthe chief executive of-ficer and is responsiblefor the administrativestructure of the City,period.”

Ms. Alvarado-Arce first be-came BCR executive directorshortly after then-mayor MikeBell took office in 2010. Afterformer director JuanitaGreene retired, the board se-lected three candidates to for-ward to the mayor’s office.Bell sent her name to city coun-cil for confirmation. That isthe process currently man-dated by law.

“I’m really just a vessel tobe used to serve the people, apublic servant,” she said.“That’s all I’ve ever reallywanted to do is serve thepeople.”

The BCR had been tryingto update Toledo MunicipalCode 159, which covers theboard’s makeup and respon-sibilities. The code languagewas written in the 1990s. Ms.Alvarado-Arce called parts ofit “out-of-date.”

“It’s not reflective of ourcurrent diversity anymore.There are agencies and wordsin there that no longer exist.So we have to update it,” shesaid. “We wanted to make surethe disability population was

represented. We wanted tomake sure the LGBTQ popu-lation was always repre-sented. We want to make surethey always have a seat onthe Board of CommunityRelations. We have been try-ing to work through this andthis would have been a greataccomplishment for theboard.”

Ms. Alvarado-Arcepointed out the current BCRchairperson is an African-American female, like themayor, whom she describedas “a good leader.”

“She’s definitely goingto support having the voicesof those underrepresented,the historicallymarginalized, be heard andbe part of the democratic pro-cess,” said the BCR execu-tive director.

Ms. Alvardo-Arce ex-plained the board took its pro-posed code changes to thecity’s law department. be-cause of a good, ongoing re-lationship with its staff. As anautonomous body, shepointed out the BCR could

have sought outside le-gal counsel.

“I could have sim-ply sent it to them andnot have had this,” shesaid. “But we work welltogether. I have al-ways sent things to thelaw department. I havealways sent things up-stairs to the 22nd floor.I’ve always sent thingsto city council. We’veall worked very welltogether. I’m not surewhen, why or how allof this has occurred.”

Even if she is re-placed, Ms. Alvardo-Arce stated she wouldfinish her doctorate atthe University of To-

ledo, something she has put offbecause of her duties at the BCR.She once served as the interimdirector for the University ofToledo’s Office of Latino Ini-tiatives, a position which UTlater eliminated.

Ms. Alvardo-Arce called herPhD her “biggest, biggest goal”outside of her professional life.Her dissertation will be on thesocial justice aspects of educa-tional leadership.

“If I’m here, I still have tofinish it. If I’m not here, I’mgoing to finish it,” she said.“That’s been the biggest ob-stacle—working full-time, try-ing to give the city my all. Ihaven’t gotten it done because,yes, this job does consume a lotof me. But I love it and I wouldn’ttrade it. I did sacrifice finishingmy PhD for this position.”

Under the current circum-stances, would Ms. Alvarado-Arce be willing to stay?

“I don’t know. I love what Ido,” she said, pointing out herbackground is in social workand social justice. “I’m aboutthe people. It’s not about themoney for me.”

CINCINNATI, Ohio, 29 V16 (AP): El zoo de Cincinnaticerró temporalmente al públicola zona de gorilas después deque un equipo especial derespuesta mató el sábado a ungorila de 17 años que habíaaprisionado a un niño de 4 añosque se cayó al foso.

Autoridades del centrodijeron que el pequeño cayótras trepar la valla de la muestraGorilla World el sábado por latarde. El gorila lo recogió yarrastró duranteaproximadamente 10 minutos.

Responsables del zooapuntaron que el menor, que noha sido identificado, cayó entre

1,8 y 36 metros (entre seis y 12pies). Fue llevado al HospitalCentro Médico Infantil de Cin-cinnati, donde se espera que serecupere. Funcionariossanitarios dijeron que nopodían ofrecer informaciónsobre su estado.

El director del zoológico,Thane Maynard, dijo que elequipo de respuesta paraanimales peligrosos del parque,capacitado para hacer frente aeste tipo de incidentes, decidióque el niño estaba “en unasituación que ponía en peligrosu vida” y que necesitabanmatar al gorila macho de 181kilos (400 libras) y llamado

Harambe.“Tomaron una decisión

difícil e hicieron lo correctoporque salvaron la vida delpequeño niño”, dijo Maynard.“Pudo haber sido muy malo”.

Pero lamentó la muerte deHarambe, que llegó a Cincin-nati en 2015 procedente delZoológico Gladys Porter enBrownsville, Texas.

“Todos estamos devastadospor este trágico accidente queresultó en la muerte de un gorilaen peligro de extinción”, dijoen un comunicado. “Esta es unagran pérdida para la familia delzoo y para la población degorilas en todo el mundo”.

En el momento del incidente,en el recinto había además dosgorilas hembra pero según losresponsables solo el macho seacercó al niño.

Maynard dijo que no parecíaque el gorila estuviera atacandoal niño, pero agregó que setrataba de un animal“extremadamente fuerte” enuna situación agitada. Dijo queadormecer al gorila no lohubiera noqueado deinmediato, por lo que el menorseguiría en problemas.

El director añadió que fue laprimera vez que el equipo mataun animal del zoológico en unasituación de emergencia, y dijoque se trataba de “un día muytriste” en el zoológico.

El gorila de tierras bajas esuna especie en peligro deextinción.
