Across the country, naturalization applications are up
14 percent in the last six
months of 2015 compared
with the same period the previous year. That has fueled
speculation that many
Latinos are anxious to vote
against Donald Trump, fearful of the Republican
nominee’s harsh immigration
rhetoric.
But Alberto Morales,
project coordinator for the
Advocacy Alliance Center of
Texas, which leads voter registration drives along the
Texas-Mexico border, cautions that it might not translate to higher turnout.
“There is frustration,”
Morales said. “We would just
like for more of the population to come out to vote and
they’re just not.”
Because Texas is so solidly Republican, neither
Trump nor Democrat Hillary
Clinton will focus on it for
November’s election, meaning there’ll likely be little
excitement and potentially
fewer people at the polls. Still,
Crystal Zermeno, the director of special projects for the
Democratic field organization Texas Organizing
Project, said Latino voter
outreach hasn’t been a top
priority for decades.
“Very little is spent on the
field, going out there and
knocking on doors,”
Zermeno said. “And you have
to have real, authentic conversations with people. Simply showing up isn’t
enough.”
A 2014 Gallup poll
found that Texas Latinos
prefer Democrats to Republicans by a 19 percentagepoint margin. Nationwide,
Democrats enjoy a more
comfortable 30 percentagepoint advantage.
So, the state Republican
Party has staffers focused on
boosting minority turnout;

Husted cannot purge voters for inactivity,
Court Rules
CLEVELAND, Sept. 23,
2016: Today, the U.S. Court
of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (based in Cincinnati)
ruled that Secretary of State
Jon Husted can no longer
purge infrequent voters
from the rolls. The Court
agreed with the ACLU of
Ohio and Demos that removing voters does in fact
violate federal law.
“We are very happy that
the court found that Secretary Husted’s process of
purging voters in Ohio is
illegal and must stop,” said
Mike Brickner, Senior
Policy Director at the
ACLU. “We don’t believe
that any voters should be
removed from the rolls simply because they haven’t
voted in a few elections.”
The Sixth Circuit sent
the case back to the federal
district court to fashion a
remedy. “We hope that a
plan will emerge soon to
allow the tens of thousands
of voters illegally purged
from the rolls to vote in the
upcoming presidential election,” said Brickner. “It is
critical that both election
officials and voters know
the rules far in advance of
November 8th.”

bipartisan
bill to restore
drivers’
licenses to all
Lansing, Sept. 21, 2016:
Democratic Representatives Stephanie Chang,
Harvey Santana, and Republican Dave Pagel have
announced the introduction of a bill to restore drivers’ licenses for all in Michigan, including undocumented immigrants.
“Everyone deserves to
have the opportunity to
drive and obtain an ID.
When you can’t get a license, your whole life is
smaller. Taking the kids to
school is a terrifying risk.
Starting a bank account or
getting a library card is impossible. Michigan should
welcome immigrants by
bringing back drivers’ licenses for all,” said Michigan United member Celia
Martínez of Detroit.
Licenses were stripped
from undocumented drivers in Michigan in 2008.
Twelve states and Washington D.C. currently offer
licenses to all, including the
most recent additions of Illinois and California.
Providing drivers licenses to all would increase
safety on Michigan’s roadways. Properly licensed immigrant drivers will need to
pass a driver’s test, get insurance, and pay registration fees. Overall, this would
reduce accidents and increase tax revenue.

Former UN Ambassador to speak at UT, Sept. 29
The first African-American to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations
will speak at The University of Toledo 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 29, 2016 in Savage Arena.
Andrew Young, a former
member of Congress and
mayor of Atlanta, worked
closely with Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. during the
civil rights movement to organize desegregation efforts throughout the South,
including the 1963 march
through Birmingham, Ala.
Young was with King in
Memphis, Tenn., when King
was assassinated in 1968.
“Ambassador Andrew
Young’s life of humanitarian service and activism for
racial and social justice can
inspire all of us to reinvigorate our efforts as individuals and as a University and
community to achieve justice, peace and inclusion,”
Dr. Jamie Barlowe, dean of
UT College of Arts
and Letters, said.
“His presence on
our campus is both
a gift and a call to
service, particularly important in
today’s world of
social and political unrest.”
Young served
as U.N. Ambassador from 1977 to
1979. Young is the
recipient of the
U.S. Presidential
Medal of Freedom,
France’s Legion of
Honor and the NAACP’s
Springarn Medal. Young
founded the Andrew Young
Foundation to support and
promote education, health,
leadership and human rights
in the U.S., Africa and the
Caribbean.
The free, public event presented by UT’s College of Arts
and Letters marks the 10th
anniversary of the Edward
Andrew Young
Sharpiro Distinguished
Lecture Series that has included such speakers as
Toni Morrison, Robert F.
Kennedy, Jr., Elie Wiesel,
Oliver Sacks, E.J. Dionne,
Michael Sandel, Jon
Meacham and Wynton
Marsalis.
Doors open at 6 p.m. Seats
are available on a first-come,
first-serve basis.

ACLU of Ohio launches new web resource for
deaf voters
CLEVELAND, Sept. 22,
2016: The ACLU of Ohio has
announced the launch of a
voter webpage for individuals who are deaf or hard of
hearing.
This new voting resource
helps Deaf voters find answers to the most common
voting questions, including
registration, appropriate
forms of identification, and
where and how to cast a ballot in November’s general
election.
“Educating Deaf voters
on their rights is imperative,
as the voting process is geared
towards hearing people and
could easily exclude the Deaf
community,” said Mike
Brickner, senior policy advisor for the ACLU of Ohio.
“Our webpage features four
videos that discuss the im-
portance of voting and provide clear instructions about
how to navigate through the
process. We hope that it will
be utilized and shared with
Deaf voters throughout the
state of Ohio.”
Deaf voters face unique
language barriers that are not
felt by their hearing counterparts. Accessing voting information can be difficult if
those resources are not formatted for easy sharing
across social media platforms, which younger Deaf
voters are more frequently
using. The videos on the
ACLU of Ohio’s Deaf voting
rights page, which are captioned and feature a Deaf
speaker using ASL, help
voters of any background
understand how to navigate
the registration and voting
processes.
Voters can also learn
how to request accommodations from their local
board of elections, including interpreting services.
“Having appropriate accommodations for a deaf
or hard of hearing person
can be challenging, particularly if they have questions about the ballot or
filling out a provisional
ballot,” Brickner added. “If
Deaf voters know they can
ask for help and that it will
be provided, it will make it
easier for them to vote and
be a part of our democracy.”

State officials, Latino leaders to meet for
Latino summit
CHESTER, Va., Sept.
23, 2016 (AP): Virginia officials will meet with more
than 250 Latino community and business leaders
from across the state next
month to discuss education, criminal justice reform and other issues.
Gov. Terry McAuliffe will
host the state’s second Latino
Summit on Oct. 6 at John Tyler
Community
College’s
Chester Campus.
State officials and Hispanic leaders will talk about
a range of issues important to
their communities, includ-
ing education reforms and
increasing civic participation.
Virginia’s secretary of
education, secretary of the
commonwealth and commissioner of the department
of elections are all expected
to address the group.
4th Circuit, that nixed NC voter ID law, studies
Virginia’s
By ALANNA DURKIN RICHER, Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va., Sept.
22, 2016 (AP): The Democratic Party of Virginia argued before a federal appeals court on Thursday
that its ruling blocking
North Carolina’s voter
identification law should
also apply to Virginia’s,
since Republican lawmakers in their state also sought
to suppress voting by minorities and young people.
Bruce Spiva, an attorney for Virginia Democrats, told a three judge
panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that
state’s law requiring people
to show photo identification at the polls was passed
for a single purpose: to
make it more difficult for
blacks, Latinos and young
people to vote.
“The same Legislature
that passed the voter ID law
is the same Legislature that
was found to have racially
gerrymandered its districts,” Spiva added, referring to 4th Circuit’s ruling
that Virginia Republicans
packed too many black
voters in one congressional district to make adjacent districts safer for
GOP incumbents.
Much of Thursday’s de-
bate centered on how
Virginia’s law—and the facts
surrounding its implementation—differ from North
Carolina’s.
The North Carolina law
not only required voters to
produce a photo ID, but
scrapped same-day registration and shortened early voting periods. The ruling striking it down said the law targeted black voters with “almost surgical precision” and
did nothing to prevent potential voter fraud.
An attorney for the Virginia Department of Elections stressed Thursday that
the Virginia law, which a
federal judge upheld in May
after finding no evidence of
discriminatory intent, is
quite different. Attorney
Thor Hearne II said the list of
IDs Virginians can use is
“very generous” compared
to other states, in that it includes those from places like
private colleges.
Hearne noted that the
court found North Carolina
had asked for data on voting
practices broken down by
race while examining the bill.
North Carolina’s law was
also passed shortly after a
U.S. Supreme Court ruling
changed the requirement
that many Southern states
receive federal approval before changing voting laws.
Virginia’s law was passed
before the Supreme Court
case was decided.
Judge Dennis Shedd
asked whether the 4th Circuit should simply return the
case to the district court in
light of its decision in the
North Carolina case, and
questioned whether the
judge “missed the forest for
the trees” when he found
Virginia’s law constitutional.
Virginians have had to
show some form of identification to vote for decades,
but until 2012, people without an ID were still allowed
to cast a ballot if they signed
a form swearing they’re the
person they claimed to be.
A 2012 law scrapped the
affirmation of identity option, but allowed voters to
use certain non-photo IDs.
A year later, the GOP-controlled General Assembly
passed the law requiring
photo IDs.
Virginians can obtain
free photo IDs at voter registrar offices, but Democrats
claim few people know
about that option because
the state has done little to
spread the word.
ACLU calls for transparency about police
surveillance
WASHINGTON, DC,
Sept. 21, 2016 (AP): Bills
being introduced in more
than a dozen cities will
aim to force police departments to disclose the surveillance technologies
they use.
The American Civil
Liberties Union is among
the groups leading the legislative effort. Among the
cities where bills will be
introduced are the District
of Columbia; New York;
Milwaukee, Wisconsin;
Richmond, Virginia; and
Seattle.
Advocates say in the cities where police have released data about their surveillance operations, the
technology has been used
disproportionately in com-
munities of color and lowincome areas. Baltimore
is among those cities.
The groups want surveillance technology to
be acquired and funded
only with city council approval. They’re also seeking community input in
how surveillance systems
are funded and where
they’re used.

Meet the Middlegrounds: New Metropark
opens in Downtown Toledo
On September 17, 2016,
the Middlegrounds, the first
Metropark in downtown
Toledo, opened with music,
activities, and food.
Called Middlegrounds
Metropark, 111 Ottawa
Street, adjacent to the Anthony Wayne Bridge, is approximately 28 acres along
the Maumee River. The park
takes the historical name of
the property, which was the
“middle ground” between
the river and Swan Creek,
where railroads met the canal
and industries developed.
Metroparks of the Toledo
Area has cleaned the property and developed a downtown green-space with
views of the river.
Rotary Roundhouse, a
rentable picnic shelter designed to resemble a railroad roundhouse, honors
the Rotary Club of Toledo,
which donated $300,000 to
build the structure in 2012
on the occasion of the
organization’s centennial
anniversary. The new shelter will be available to rent
starting in 2017.
The new park includes a
1.2-mile, paved walk/bike
path and additional 0.2-mile
loop, foot bridges, scenic
overlooks and benches.
Metroparks purchased
the land in 2006 with grant
funding from the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration Coastal and
Estuarine Land Conservation Program. Clean up of
the site involved first removing more than 8,000 tons of
debris.
History: Once deemed
inhabitable swamp, the
“middlegrounds” has been
transformed many times.
Through the 1800s and into
the early 1900s, trains and
canal boats traversed the site,
carrying freight and passengers. Buildings went up to
accommodate the grain, lumber – and people – delivered
daily. Floods, fires and
progress elsewhere in the city
led to the site’s decay in the
1970s. By the time
Metroparks acquired the property in 2006, it had deteriorated into a dumpsite.
More than 8,000 tons –
about 16 million pounds – of
debris was removed from the
property before construction
of the park began in 2015.
Metroparks manages water
runoff from the property, the
downtown slope of the adjacent Anthony Wayne Bridge
and a portion of Ottawa Street
by channeling water through
a manmade stream into a succession of three ponds.
The system uses natural filters, including wetland plants,
to remove solids and break
down chemicals. The cleaner
water finally spills over into
the Kayak Cove before reaching the Maumee River. The
expansive wood decking used
in the park is made of Ipe (pronounced EE-pay) from a sustainable source. The wood,
also known as Brazilian walnut, is one of the densest hard-
woods available and resistant to insect damage, mold,
and decay.
Kayaks and e-Bikes for
rent at new Downtown
Metropark
Visitors to the new
Middlegrounds can now rent
kayaks and power-assisted
bicycles, or “e-bikes,” on
weekends. Starting Sept.
17th, River Lures will operate a concession at the park’s
kayak cove Saturdays and
Sundays from 10 a.m. to 7
p.m., renting single kayaks
and e-bikes for $10 per hour.
River Lures operated a
kayak and bike concession
for the first time at Farnsworth
from Memorial Day to Labor
Day. With favorable weather
and the popularity of
Middlegrounds, which
opened last weekend, the
Grand Rapids, Ohio, company decided to open a concession at Middlegrounds
now rather than wait until
spring. The concession will
remain open this fall as long
as weather permits.
Still to come: Metroparks
first dog off-leash area has
received zoning approval
and will be built near the park
entrance, along Ottawa
Street. Construction of the
fenced area will begin later
this month.

A makeover at Tri-C Metropolitan Campus
CLEVELAND: Changes
are coming to one of the
oldest buildings at the Metropolitan Campus of
Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®).
A two-year project beginning this fall promises to reshape the outdated Campus
Center building into a dynamic hub of student activity. The renovation was
launched
with
a
groundbreaking ceremony
on Sept. 27, 2016.
“This will do much more
than modernize Metro Campus,” said Michael Schoop,
president of the campus
since 2006. “It will transform our ideas about how we
use the campus to teach, to
learn and to interact with
each other.
“We’re creating a new atmosphere that will inspire,
engage and spark creativity.”
The Campus Center
project, when complete, will
leave a building unrecognizable from the hulking
structure currently standing
along East 30th Street between Woodland and Community College avenues.
Workers will peel off the
building’s outer skin and
demolish the interior, leaving only the skeletal remains
of the original frame.
Deconstruction of the structure should begin before the
end of the year.
Then comes the rebuild.
Renderings show a finished
product with a
glass exterior
gently curving
toward campus.
Windows dominate the façade
on
the
building’s
front, side and
back to reveal sweeping views
and bathe the interior in natural light.
The new design maximizes the building’s existing
on-site footprint, adding
11,000 square feet of usable
space. The roomier accommodations expand student
social areas as well as classroom and meeting space.
Plans call for the updated
Campus Center to reopen in
time for fall semester in 2018.
“Campus Center should
serve as the hub of activity
and heartbeat of Metro,” said
Cynthia Leitson, the
College’s vice president of
capital and construction.
“With this renovation, it will.”
The building’s three floors
will offer amenities such as:
• A Barnes & Noble bookstore featuring a coffee shop;
• A food court and dining
area that includes seating in
an outdoor courtyard;
• Offices for student government and Tri-C’s awardwinning student newspaper;
• Classroom space for High
Tech Academy and other college prep programs; &
• A conference hall for reception and public meetings.
Architects included unique
touches such as
“seating cubbies”
— essentially
study nooks built
into the walls —
and bench seating
along the main
staircase to encourage students to spend time at Campus Center.
“No matter where you are
in the building,” Leitson said,
“there will be an exciting
vibe.”
The Campus Center renovation will cost an estimated
$38 million. The College received $2.5 million in state
funding to put toward the
work.
The project will coincide
with a reconstruction of the
Metro Campus walkways that
carry visitors across the
grounds. Work to the plaza
areas over the next four years
will convert a concrete canvas into an urban oasis lush
with greenery.
Together, the projects will
transform a setting virtually
unchanged since Tri-C constructed Metro Campus in the
1960s after opening as Ohio’s

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 21,
2016 (AP): Legendary Mexican singer Vicente Fernández
is lending his voice to support
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and potentially drum up Latino voters.
In a video released Wednesday and paid for by the Washington-based Latino Victory
Project, the man known as the
“King of Ranchera” music
sings about working “hand-in-
hand” for a Clinton victory.
The group said Sr. Fernández
volunteered to appear in the
video, which was posted on
YouTube and on the singer’s
Facebook page .
Sr. Fernández croons that
under a Clinton presidency “we
will always have a bridge.” He is
shown leaning on a ranch fence
amid clips of galloping horses,
smiling children and a campaigning Clinton.
Sr. Fernández also sings
that “my people were hurt
that someone would offend
us.” It’s an apparent reference
to Republican candidate
Donald Trump, whose disparaging comments about migrants have angered many
Mexicans.
The singer alluded to
Trump at an April concert,
saying he would “spit in his
face” if they ever met.

In Cleveland area, track your mail-in ballot
The Cuyahoga County
Board of Elections has
adopted an innovative
electronic program called
“VoterNotify” so voters can be informed of the
date their ballot is mailed
and exactly when their
completed ballot arrives
at the Board of Elections
for processing.
So far, over 110,000
voters have submitted
Vote by Mail ballot applications for this
November’s Presidential

VoterNotify, visit the
Board’s
website:
www.443VOTE.com to
sign-up to receive important text messages and/or
email alerts. The

include “I Voted
By Mail!” stickers with each
Vote by Mail ballot, similar to the ones that are given
to voters on Election Day
who vote in person.
“We are happy to offer
this courtesy and convenient service to voters who
want to make certain that
their vote is safe and secure
and received by the Board
of Elections,” said Pat
McDonald, Director of the
Board of Elections. “We
know that some voters are
concerned that their ballot
might get lost in the mail.
This is the way they can
track their ballot and make
certain their vote is
counted.”
McDonald said he
hopes those who receive
the “I Voted by Mail” stick-
ers will wear them or display them to encourage others to do so. “Even if you
don’t Vote by Mail please
become connected to the
Board through VoterNotify
for important notices. We
are to the point where
people get most of their
news and information from
their phones and other devices,” said McDonald.
