CMSD announces performance dates for
musical, new producing partner
The Cleveland Metropolitan School District will
present the 17th annual AllCity Musical on April 22 –
24, 2016 at the Ohio Theatre
on Playhouse Square.
The production of “Kiss
Me Kate,” with the music of
Cole Porter, will feature the
talents of nearly 50 CMSD
students from across the District.
“Kiss Me Kate” is a fun,
melodious, and sophisticated production best described as “a musical within
a musical.” The production
draws source material from
Shakespeare’s “Taming of
the Shrew.” The cast plays a
present-day theatrical
troupe performing a musical adaptation of the
Shakespearean classic in
Baltimore. But we learn very
quickly that
each
cast
member’s onstage life is
complicated
by what happens offstage.
Kimberly Sias, Director
of All-City Arts, directs the
production. The Musical
Theater Project joins the
Human Fund this year as
a producing partner. David
Thomas will serve as musical director for the All-City
production. Kevin Marr II
and Jessica Spurlock will
create the choreography.
Inda Blatch-Geib will design costumes and Colleen
Albrecht will design lights.
The musical is presented
with generous support from
The Helen F. and Louis
Stolier Family Foundation,
The Edwin D.
Northrop II
Fund, The
George Gund
Foundation
and
Playhouse Square.
Community partners include the City of Cleveland.
The musical will open at
7:30 p.m. on Friday, April
22. The production will
continue with a Saturday
evening showing at 7:30
p.m. and a closing matinee
performance on Sunday at
3 p.m.
All tickets are $15 and
all seating is general admission. Tickets are available

EEUU cae ante Guatemala y aumenta la presión sobre Klinsmann
GUATEMALA, 26 III 16
(AP): Estados Unidos
cometió errores de
principiante en defensa y
cayó el viernes 2-0 en su
visita a Guatemala, un
resultado que complica al
equipo
de
Jurgen
Klinsmann
en
la
eliminatoria mundialista de
la CONCACAF y aumenta
la presión sobre el timonel
alemán.
Rafael Morales abrió el
marcador a los siete minutos
en un tiro de esquina
derivado de un mal pase
atrás de Edgar Castillo. El
veterano Carlos Ruiz metió
el segundo a los 15, cuando
un saque de meta de Paulo
Motta pasó entre varios
jugadores y llegó a Ruiz,
quien se desmarcó para vencer
al portero Tim Howard en un
mano a mano.
Estados Unidos perdió por
primera vez ante Guatemala en
unas
eliminatorias
mundialistas, y además sufrió
su primer revés ante los
chapines desde enero de 1988,
una racha de 21 partidos.
Estados Unidos quedó
en tercer puesto del Grupo
C con cuatro puntos, tres
menos que el líder Trinidad
y Tobago, que superó 3-2 a
San Vicente y las
Grandinas. Guatemala es
segundo con seis, antes de
visitar el martes a los
norteamericanos en Columbus, Ohio.

Por otra parte, la oradora
principal del evento será Christine Chávez, nieta de Cesar E.
Chávez, quien ha hecho un
compromiso de por vida con
los derechos civiles, el
movimiento obrero, y la
organización comunitaria.
Nació en la Ciudad de Delano,
en el corazón del Valle Central

rodeada por el movimiento de
trabajadores agrícolas. Hoy en
día, Christine trabaja para el

La revista Latina nombró
recientemente a Christine
como una de sus principales

desde hace mucho tiempo
con cuestiones de derechos
civiles; sobre todo, su trabajo
sobre la igualdad en el matrimonio. Ha sido reconocida
por los abogados del Área de
la Bahía, por el grupo
nacional de Gays y

poner fin a la discriminación.
“Estamos muy
emocionados por la

autoempoderamiento, entre
otros, dirigido a latinas
de todas las edades y
procedencias.
Este es el sexto año que
Flores está a la cabeza de la
coordinación de dicho
evento y se encuentra muy
entusiasmado. “Siento que
cada año es mejor y más fácil
la organización porque ya
tengo contactos con los que
trabajo tanto en el comité
como en la recaudación de
fondos. Estoy muy orgulloso
de lo que hacemos porque es
muy valioso para nuestra
gente, una de las cosas más
gratificantes es ver a las
estudiantes que comparten
la información y se motivan
a seguir adelante. Estoy muy
agradecido por todo el apoyo
que recibimos de los
Christine Chávez
diferentes grupos, es una
experiencia muy grata que
dura un día pero requiere del
trabajo y organización de
todo un año”.
Nuestros objetivos de las
conferencias son para
capacitar, motivar, inspirar,
conectar y apoyar a las latinas
y todas las mujeres en su
búsqueda de avance en la
sociedad.
La Conferencia Anual del
Día de la Mujer inició en 1994
con el objetivo de destacar los
logros de las mujeres latinas
en nuestra comunidad. Desde
ese momento DDLM ha
crecido hasta convertirse en
una serie de múltiples facetas

Penta Career Center raising hellbender
salamanders
PERRYSBURG, March
27, 2016 (AP): High school
students at a northwest
Ohio vocational school are
raising hellbenders—
North America’s largest
salamander.
The salamanders have
seen an 80 percent decline
over the past 36 years, John
Navarro, of the Ohio Division of Wildlife, told The
Blade in Toledo (http://
bit.ly/1VNmOQW ) .
Navarro said there were
so few salamanders that
biologists who were looking for them couldn’t find
any. When they did find
them, he said there were
never any juveniles.
“Their numbers were
scary low,” he said.
Students at Penta Ca-
reer Center in Perrysburg are
now raising the large, lizardlike amphibians, which can
grow to longer than two feet.
Marie Kuron, 18, a Penta
senior who hopes to work in
wildlife care and rehabilitation, said working with the
endangered species gives her
a head start in her field.
“When we enter the lab and
scrub in to protect these animals from any outside germs,
I realize how serious this is,”
Kuron said. “We need to try
our best to keep this species
alive.”
The school converted a
storage room into a laboratory. Students will raise about
170 juvenile hellbenders
there over the next couple
years. The salamanders will

Labor Department announces up to $15M to
aid recovery effort following the water
contamination crisis in Flint
WASHINGTON, DC,
March 24, 2016: The U.S.
Department of Labor today
announced a National Dislocated Worker Grant for up to
$15 million to the Michigan
Strategic Fund to assist with
humanitarian and recovery
efforts resulting from the contaminated water crisis in Flint,
Michigan.
Of the $15 million announced today, $7.5 million
will be released initially to provide temporary employment
for eligible individuals to assist with the recovery work, as
well as to offer these individuals career and training services
to help them find permanent
work. Additional funding, up
to the amount approved, will
be made available as the state
demonstrates a continued need
for assistance.
In 2015, the Hurley
Children’s Hospital in Flint
began documenting elevated
levels of lead in the blood of
its patients. After this phenomenon was traced to the
water supply, the Genesee
County Health Department
issued a “Do Not Drink” advisory to the customers of the
Flint Water Treatment Plant,
which was followed by numerous state and local emergency declarations in response
to the crisis.
“National Dislocated
Worker Grants are an important way that the federal government can assist workers,
businesses and entire communities as they recover from crisis,” said U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez. “The
investments announced today
will help the people of Flint
repair the physical damage and
care for their neighbors, while
also helping put area workers
back on track to sustainable
careers in and around the community they love.”
The temporary jobs funded
through this grant will focus
on humanitarian assistance,
such as delivering water, water
filters, replacement cartridges
and lead-testing kits to Flint
residents affected by the water
contamination. Other activities may include repair, renovation and reconstruction work
on the damaged water lines,
and subsequent clean up
and recycling work. Approximately 400 temporary
jobs will be created through
these funds.
This funding will also provide career and training services to participants to assist
them in finding permanent
work. This project will allow
temporary workers to offer
critical support to the relief
operation itself, while also
providing them with muchneeded workforce development opportunities. Participants will receive structured
and soft-skill training, assistance with career planning
and connections with local
employers.
The National Dislocated Worker Grant program provides resources to
states and other eligible applicants to respond to large,
unexpected events causing
significant job losses. Grants
are awarded at the discretion of the secretary of labor
under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.

But House Speaker Kevin
Cotter, R-Mount Pleasant, said
Thursday he has “a lot of concerns” with a proposed education commission whose permission would be needed to
open some new traditional and
publicly funded charter
schools. There would be an
“inherent motivation to hamper charters” to limit how long
the district is under financial
oversight, he said.
About 36,000 students living in Detroit attend charter
academies in the city, and
26,000 go to traditional public schools or charters in the
suburbs.
Snyder, who supports the
Senate proposal, said: “I’m confident the Legislature will continue its bipartisan focus on
helping Detroit students succeed and we will get there soon.”

(FDIC) presentó los
resultados de la National
Survey of Unbanked and
Underbanked Households
realizada en 2013 y estos
son los elementos que
destacó:
El 46.4% de la población
hispana no utiliza servicios
bancarios adecuados para su
desarrollo personal y familiar. Eso se debe a diversos
factores, entre los que
destacan; que no cuentan
con suficiente dinero para
mantener una cuenta de
banco, falta de confianza a
los bancos, tarifas muy altas,
falta de identificación y
problemas con el historial
crediticio.
Es por eso que los
servicios
financieros
alternativos más comunes
son: Money Order, cambio
de cheques, envío de
remesas, casas de empeño y
préstamos de nómina (payday loans).
De acuerdo con estos
resultados, algunos de los
retos que enfrenta la Semana
de Educación Financiera
son: Facilitar el acceso al
sistema financiero y ofrecer
la asistencia necesaria a la
población migrante a través
de programas de educación
financiera diseñados de
acuerdo a la idiosincrasia y
cultura del migrante
mexicano.
Fomentar la difusión de
programas
d
e
educación
financiera.
Elevar los
índices de
inclusión
financiera
entre la población mexicana
migrante en Estados Unidos
y entre la población en
México que reside en zonas
de alta migración. De esta
manera, se empoderará a la
comunidad mexicana en
América del Norte.
La SEF permite que los
migrantes obtengan más
herramientas para fortalecer
su patrimonio, tener un
mayor acceso a los servicios
financieros y a una mejora en
la distribución del ingreso,
lo que sin duda se vuelve un
paso relevante para asegurar
su integración social y su
desarrollo económico, así
como el de sus familias en
México.
En el 2015 se contó con la
participación de 561 socios
locales y se atendió a 81,688
personas a través de 1,227
talleres, conferencias y ferias.
Este año se espera aumentar
el número tanto de
participantes, como de
asistentes.
Además, por primera
ocasión, se pone a

Four Cleveland arts institutions pay tribute to
the work of Cleveland artist Anthony Eterovich
(1916-2011)
CLEVELAND: This
spring, four arts institutions in Cleveland will pay
tribute to the life’s work of
well-respected Cleveland
artist Anthony Eterovich
with simultaneous exhibitions. The principal showing is a centennial retrospective - “A Thrilling
Act”: The art of Anthony
Eterovich (1916-2011) that will open at Tregoning
& Company, 1300 W. 78th
Street, on April 15th, 2016,
timed to coincide with the
100th anniversary of the
artist’s birth.
Honoring the influence
of jazz music on
Eterovich’s work, the John
Petrone Trio will perform
throughout the opening.
The Cleveland Institute of Art (CIA) will feature drawings by Eterovich
– a 54 year CIA faculty
member – in the CIA Study
Collection from June to
August. A preview party
for CIA Alumni at
Tregoning & Company on
April 14th at 5:30 pm will
benefit the CIA through
net sales proceeds added
to its Eterovich Scholar-
ship Fund. The Marshall
Griffith Trio will perform.
Fundamental Gestures:
Figures from Life, which
opens April 15th at ARTNeo,
1305 W. 80th Street, Suite 016,
includes two Eterovich drawings and several more
Eterovich pieces will be displayed on a feature wall.
And, rounding it out, the
Artists Archives of the Western Reserve, 1834 E. 123rd
Street, will present another
opportunity
to
view
Eterovich’s work April 20th –
May 7th. A small selection of
Eterovichs will be on display
in a Pop Up Office Exhibition.
The joint tributes to
Eterovich pay respect to a
Cleveland artist who steadfastly celebrated that city
throughout his entire life. He
studied under John Teyral and
Viktor Schreckengost at the
CIA after receiving a full
scholarship and influenced
countless students while on
faculty there for more than 50
years. His work is in the permanent collections of the
Butler Institute of American
Art, the Cleveland Museum of
Art, the Dayton Art Institute,
the Artists Archives of the
Western Reserve, and
ARTneo.
After he won first prize
in the 16th Annual National New Year’s Show at
the Butler Institute of
American Art with his
painting The Merry
Bench, Edith Halpert requested an Eterovich to
show in her famous Downtown Gallery in New York.
That exhibited painting,
Table Charade, received
a glowing review from
Howard DeVree of the New
York Times on May 6,
1951:
“One of the most ambitious canvases is by Anthony Eterovich, ‘Table
Charade’ … succeeds in
bringing organization out
of what might well have
been a too complicated
profusion of detail.”
A full color catalogue
to the exhibition has been
published, containing essays and remembrances by
Bruce Checefsky, William
Martin Jean, and George
Kozman and will be available for purchase at the
gallery.

2017 represents the
golden anniversary of
FLOC’s efforts to organize
migrant farmworkers and
give them a voice in the fields.
There will be a constitutional
convention next year, which
is held every four years. 400
to 500 delegates from all over
the country will attend. Votes
held at that convention will
guide the work of FLOC leaders in the years ahead, just as
the last convention is guiding current efforts.
“One of the resolutions
was to take on the competitive production of cucumbers
in North Carolina. That’s why
we took on the Mt. Olive
pickle company,” explained
Velásquez. “It was competing with cucumbers in Ohio.
If they buy them cheaper
down there, it puts pressure
on us losing production here
in Ohio, so that’s why we
organized the Mt. Olive
pickle company. The workers here said we had to take on
the competition. Who knows
what the next convention will
call us to do. That’s my job—
to carry out those resolutions.
Everything I do—even this
urban organizing that I do
now—has to do with resolutions that were passed at that
convention.”
Some of the other tie-ins
have to do with immigration
and racial profiling, which
led FLOC to take on negotiations with the Toledo police
department, and sue the U.S.
Border Patrol.
“This Homies program
was not just an afterthought.
I had to get permission from
the members to do what I do.
Otherwise, I can’t do it,” he
explained.

A Credit Score is More Than a Random Number
A credit score can seem like a mysterious number that has considerable impact on your
ability to borrow money, but it is important to take time to know your credit score, understand
how it is derived and how to build and protect it. Here are answers to some of the most commonly
asked questions about credit scores to better prepare you for financial success:
· What is a credit score? A credit score is a number used to represent a person’s relative
creditworthiness. A mathematical model is used to generate a three-digit number or score that
can be used as a predictor of the probability a consumer will pay back their loan on time. The
higher the number, the higher the probability that the loan will be repaid on time.
· What factors determine a credit score? According to FICO® model(s), one of the methods
used to determine credit scores, your score is determined by five factors of differing
importance:
o Payment history accounts for 35 percent of your score. This is determined by how
often you pay your payments on time. Late payments may lead to a lower credit score.
o The total amount of debt you owe represents 30 percent of your score. Less is more
in terms of a higher credit score.
o Payment history is 15 percent of the credit score calculation. The longer record you
have of making timely payments, the higher your score will be.
o New credit commitments account for 10 percent of your score. Taking on several new
debts in a short period of time can lower your number.
o And lastly, 10 percent of your credit score is derived from the types of credit used.
Having experience repaying several types of loan commitments, like a combination
of a car loan and a credit card, will help boost your score.
· What is considered a “good” credit score? “This is one of the most common questions
that I get asked,” said Tasha Jacobs, Mortgage Lender at First Federal Bank. “A credit score
of 640 or higher usually allows you to qualify for most loan products, but a credit score of 680
is typically viewed as a ‘good’ credit score.”
· What can make a credit score higher? “While the calculations for a credit score seem
complex, there are several simple things you can do to increase your score,” said Jacobs. “Keep
any revolving debt, like credit cards, below 50 percent of the credit limit. Make payments on
time, and try not to have your credit report pulled excessively.”
· How can you find out your credit score? To view a free credit report, visit
annualcreditreport.com or call 877-322-8228. It is always a good idea to review your credit
report annually, even if you are not currently seeking a loan. This will prevent any surprises
when you are ready to apply for credit.
If you want to learn more about how credit scores play a role when it comes to financing
your dreams, you can set up a meeting with Tasha Jacobs at (419) 537-9312 or by email at
[email protected].
