Corte Suprema de EEUU examinará caso de deportaciones WASHINGTON, DC, 29 IX 16 (AP): La Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos atenderá la apelación presentada por el gobierno de Barack Obama contra las decisiones de tribunales inferiores que dificultan la deportación de inmigrantes declarados culpables de delitos. El máximo tribunal accedió el jueves reexaminar los fallos que anularon partes de una ley migratoria por considerarla anticonstitucional. La corte federal de apelaciones de San Francisco determinó que la cláusula de la ley sobre “crímenes violentos” es demasiado difusa. Cuando un inmigrante es hallado culpable de un crimen violento, usualmente el proceso de deportación se acelera. El tribunal de apelaciones basó su fallo en una decisión tomada en el 2015 por la Corte Suprema que anuló una cláusula similar de otra ley federal, que estipulaba condenas de cárcel más largas para delincuentes reincidentes. El gobierno sostiene que el tribunal se equivoca al igualar esas dos leyes.

Page 3 Hillary Clinton’s vision for an economy where “Our Businesses, Our Workers, and Our Consumers Grow and Prosper Together” TOLEDO, Oct. 3, 2016: In Toledo and Akron, Ohio on Monday, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton informed Ohioans that she believes “we need to build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top. But today, there are still powerful interests fighting to protect their own profits and privileges at the expense of everyone else. “Too many of the rules and incentives in our economy encourage those at the top to abuse their power and take advantage of consumers, workers, small businesses, and taxpayers. That makes it tougher for even wellmeaning CEOs to take the high road.” According to Ms. Clinton, “in recent months, we’ve seen three egregious examples of these problems. We saw a drug company, Mylan, excessively raise the price of lifesaving EpiPens without justification. We saw one of our country’s biggest banks, Wells Fargo, bully thousands of employees into committing fraud on unsus- Photo by Mychal Lilly pecting customers. And now we’ve learned the latest on Donald Trump: “In one year, he lost nearly a billion dollars; he stiffed small businesses, laid off workers, and walked away from hardworking communities; and he apparently got to avoid paying taxes for nearly two decades—while tens of millions of working families paid theirs. That’s what he calls “smart” business.” In short, in Ohio, Ms. Clinton offered her vision for an economy where “our businesses, our workers, and our consumers grow and prosper together.” Trump niega haber hecho negocios con Cuba WASHINGTON, DC, 29 IX 16 (AP): Donald Trump refutó el jueves un reporte de Newsweek de que exploró oportunidades de negocios en Cuba a finales de la década de 1990, en aparente violación al embargo comercial de Estados Unidos sobre la isla. Trump le aseguró a NH1 News de New Hampshire que “nunca hice negocios en Cuba”. “No, nunca hice nada en Cuba. Nunca tuve un acuerdo en Cuba”, agregó. Newsweek reportó el jueves que el trabajo fue realizado por un despacho de consultoría llamado Seven Arrows a nombre de Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts Inc. La publicación afirma que Trump le reembolsó al despacho 68.000 dólares en gastos de negocios por su trabajo sobre Cuba, aunque ni Trump ni la consultoría buscaron una exención gubernamental que les permitiera tales actividades. Trump criticó al reportero de Newsweek, de quien dijo que tiene una “mala reputación. En tanto, la candidata presidencial del Partido Demócrata Hillary Clinton dijo que el reporte es simplemente más evidencia de que el magnate antepone sus propios intereses a los de la nación. Aunque Clinton apoya los esfuerzos del presidente Barack Obama para aliviar el embargo y restaurar lazos con Cuba, acusó a su oponente de actuar contra los intereses del país al desafiar las sanciones. “Nosotros tenemos leyes en nuestro país” y Trump sabía de qué trataban, dijo Clinton a reporteros a bordo de su avión de campaña. La candidata agregó que “él burló deliberadamente” la ley.

Por eso la importancia de analizar la situación y ver qué podemos hacer al respecto”. Para concluir, Martínez considera que el programa DACA ha dado una presencia legal a los que han recibido ese estatus y eso les ha ayudado mucho porque pueden matricularse en diferentes universidades; aunque también es importante destacar que muchas Universidades en Michigan apoyan a los estudiantes dándoles cuotas como residentes a los que se gradúan de una secundaria en este Estado.

Pete Gerken and Bob Vásquez lies. The community’s tired of them, because they’re addicted,” said Gerken, who stated the county now has mentors meeting ex-inmates at those bus stops and take them to a shelter or other appropriate agency or service. The county commissioner emphasized the right community partnerships could provide re-entry programs to serve as an alternative to locking up Latinos and AfricanAmericans in the community. The county commissioner told the audience that jobs will be plentiful in the coming months and years, citing the auto parts supplier plants that will locate at the former Jeep plant site, now known as the Overland Industrial Park. Dana and Detroit Manufacturing Systems are promising at least 600 new jobs once their factories are built. Gerken stated there could be “as many as 1,000” new jobs eventually, paying $18 to $22 per hour, attractive enough that people would drive from as far away as Findlay and Monroe, Michigan to work there. But Gerken’s goal is to employ as many Lucas County residents at those plants as possible, securing a commitment from Dana to hire the first 500 people locally. But he emphasized those workers must be qualified to do the exact job required. Those people will be required to complete a work readiness program and earn a certificate through Ohio Means Jobs-Lucas County. Gerken promised to market that program in the Latino community through agencies such as Adelante, Inc. and FLOC. “Tell the young people to that want these jobs to not only get the training, but tell them to quit smoking weed. I’m serious. You can go get all the training you want, but you go in there and drop dirty on a sample. Put the damn weed down for 30 days. Help yourselves,” said Gerken. “We had a job fair the other day and we lost 40 percent of the applicants to failing a drug test.” Gerken also promoted a number of levies on the November ballot, citing, in particular, the LC Children Services board (LCCS) levy and the City of Toledo’s three-quarter percent income tax. He stated a rising amount of child abuse and neglect can be directly attributed to the opioid and heroin overdose epidemic. The county commissioner stated 35 percent of the agency’s staff would be laid off if the CSB [or LCCS] levy fails. Gerken also urged Latino leaders to forward the résumés of qualified candidates for county government jobs. He stated not enough Latino job candidates are stepping forward when the county has openings, particularly for senior administrative leadership positions in government. Have a Classified Ad?

Michigan State releases report on sexual misconduct cases EAST LANSING, Mich., Sept. 28, 2016 (AP): Michigan State University says its Office for Institutional Equity received more than 450 relationship violence and sexual misconduct complaints during the last academic year. The office and the Title IX Office on Thursday released the school’s first such report on complaints, findings and investigations. The Office for Institutional Equity was created in 2015 and handles discrimination and sexual assault investigations. From Aug. 16, 2015 to Aug. 15, 2016, there were 461 incidents reported under MSU’s Relationship Violence and Sexual Misconduct Policy, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, relationship violence and stalking. Of the 461 reports, 66 were formally investigated. Most of those not formally investigated were because the complainant either didn’t wish to move forward or wouldn’t follow-up. For the previous academic year, there were 201 estimated incidents. Online: http:// titleix.msu.edu/informationreports/index.html SUPPLIERS OF MEXICAN FOOD PRODUCTS 2742 HILL AVE.

Decidir no casarse, aseguró, “te da la libertad de tomar decisiones de una manera u otra”, y agregó que a ella y Russell les “gusta la opción”.

El Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN), la guerrilla que sigue activa y desarrolla conversaciones con el país, anunció que no realizará acciones ofensivas esta semana para favorecer las votaciones de la población, sobre todo rural. Medios de prensa del país también dieron cuenta de la votación en la Plaza Bolívar de Bogotá del ex presidente Álvaro Uribe, el principal dirigente de la campaña por el “no”, y según la cual no debe amnistiarse o perdonarse a los guerrilleros ni aplicarse los acuerdos alcanzados en Cuba. Muchos lugares en el exterior como Estados Unidos, Venezuela y Europa también abrieron las urnas y, aunque debido a los distintos horarios en algunos lugares las mismas ya se cerraron, no se darán a conocer los resultados sino hasta que se computen los de todo el país. Si triunfaba el “sí”, las FARC se reinsertarían como partido político. Habrá un mecanismo de verificación y abandono de las armas, con algunas de las cuales se erigirían varios monumentos. Habrá amnistía, pero también se buscará juzgar a los responsables, tanto de la guerrilla como de los demás actores, de las víctimas causadas en la guerra. El acuerdo de 297 páginas contempla además una mejor distribución de tierra, el combate a las drogas y la sustitución de cultivos ilícitos, la participación política de organizaciones populares y el resarcimiento a las víctimas, entre otros puntos. Creadas en 1964, las FARC son la guerrilla activa más antigua del continente y cuentan con unos 7.000 insurgentes. La Mesa de Diálogo para los acuerdos, iniciada en 2012, contó con el impulso de Cuba, Noruega, Venezuela y Chile. La víspera, y como un gesto de buena voluntad, las FARC destruyeron más de 600 kilos de explosivos y se comprometieron a declarar su activo monetario a fin reparar a las víctimas de la guerra. 1987 Lin-Manuel Miranda a Festival People en Español Por SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS, Associated Press NUEVA YORK, 29 IX donde servimos a nuestra 16 (AP): El Festival People audiencia, donde nuestros en Español contará este año lectores y usuarios pueden con el superastro latino del compartir el acceso que momento: Lin-Manuel tenemos con las Miranda. celebridades, es durante el El creador del megaéxito Festival de People en de Broadway “Hamilton” Español”, dijo el miércoles participará en la quinta Armando Lucas Correa, ediedición del festival, a tor en jefe de la revista, a The realizarse el 15 y 16 de Associated Press. octubre en el Jacob Javits “A nivel personal, Center de Nueva York, en dialogo diariamente con el Mes de la Herencia todos los lectores de People Hispana.

The inaugural academy will be held Oct. 10-14, 2016 at the KeyBank Public Safety Training Center at the College’s Western Campus in Parma. The week-long session will provide hands-on experience through simulations and practice drills. Drones are increasingly being deployed by public safety departments in a variety of situations, including search-and-rescue missions, evidence collection, crime and crash scene investigations and firefighting operations. “Drones can be a tremendous asset in the public safety field,” said Clayton Harris, vice president of public safety and dean of criminal justice at Tri-C. “But like any tool, it’s only as effective as its operator. Our goal is to teach first responders how to maximize the benefits of this technology.” The academy sold out soon after the College opened enrollment. The 12 participants are all public safety professionals work- ing in law enforcement, firefighting or other first responder occupations in Northeast Ohio. Harris said academy graduates will be prepared to gain federal certification as a drone pilot. Given the demand for the course, the College plans to schedule additional training sessions.

Cleveland State moving forward on plan to add campus housing CLEVELAND, Oct. 3, 2016 (AP): Cleveland State University is seeking proposals on where to build additional housing for up to 1,000 students on its campus. One of the options being looked at would replace the school’s 13,000-seat basketball arena with a smaller facility to allow for more housing. Another option would be to put the new dormitories on athletic fields on campus. Cleveland State wants to add the housing units in the next few years to meet student demand. Cleveland.com reports (http://bit.ly/ 2dxupGz) that three groups have been asked to submit proposals for the project.

La Prensa PERRYSBURG TOWNSHIP, Ohio, Sept. 29, 2016: Area residents seeking to add new life and color to their gardens and yards this fall are encouraged to attend the Landscape and Turfgrass Crew Club’s annual Fall Plant Sale at Owens Community College on Wednesday, October 5, 2016. The plant sale will occur from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. next to the greenhouse, which is near the entrance to the Owens Math/Science Center on the Toledoarea Campus. The sale will feature a wide selection of shrubs, perennials, ornamental grasses, and rare and unusual trees. Owens is located on Oregon Road in Perrysburg Township. “The Owens Community College Landscape and Turfgrass Crew Club student organization is excited to once again offer individuals the opportunity to purchase select trees and shrubs at a minimal cost for the upcoming fall planting season,” said Chris Foley, Owens associate professor of Science and Landscape and Turfgrass Crew Club advisor. “Fall is an excellent time to plant trees and shrubs, as the ground is still warm from the s u m m e r months and the soil is moist. I encourage individuals to help support the Landscape and Turfgrass Crew Club and get a head start on their fall planting projects.” All proceeds from the plant sale will help in supporting the organization’s participation in the PLANET (Professional Landcare Network) Student Career Days, which is a national horticultural and landscape competition involving colleges and universities across the country. Shrubs on hand will include the Purple Beauty Berry, many type of Hydrangea, Fothergilla and a wide assortment of many others. Additionally, over 20 different varieties of trees (many rare) will be available and will include; unusual Maples, Dogwoods, Redbuds, as well as Franklinia, Stewartia, and others. The Landscape and Turfgrass Crew Club will also sell an array of perennials, including select hostas and ornamental grasses. A complete listing of the available plants with their prices is available online at www.owens.edu/ direct/plantsale.pdf. The College’s Landscape and Turfgrass Crew Club was founded in 2005 with the mission of fostering stronger bonds among students majoring in the Landscape and Turfgrass Management program. Among the organization’s main initiatives is creating a network between alumni and current students to help in assisting individuals pursue careers within the landscape, turfgrass and related horticulture industries. The group also hosts fundraisers to support club outreach activities in the surrounding communities.

The justices agreed Thursday to review rulings striking down a provision of immigration law as unconstitutional. The federal appeals court in San Francisco said the section of the law that defines a “crime of violence” is too vague. Conviction for a crime of violence subjects an immigrant to deportation and usually speeds up the process. The appeals court based its ruling on a 2015 Supreme Court decision that struck down a similarly worded part of another federal law imposing longer prison sentence on repeat criminals. The administration said the court was wrong to equate the two laws.

Former California Gov. Ronald Reagan and former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis soon contacted Velásquez during their bids for the U.S. presidency. In addition, San Antonio elected Henry Cisneros, the city’s first Latino mayor since 1835. Velásquez realized early on that the only way for Latinos to gain political power was through the ballot box, Galán said. In 1988, he was diagnosed with cancer. He had no health insurance, and doctors gave him less than four months to live. He lasted four weeks. Lorenzo Cano, associate director of the Center for Mexican-American Studies at the University of Houston, said Velásquez influenced generations of activists who followed the idea of voting as power. “Willie Velásquez: Your Vote Is Your Voice” begins airing on PBS stations Monday.

Below is a statement that can be attributed to Mike Brickner, Senior Policy Director of the ACLU of Ohio. “It is disheartening to learn Ohio intends to resume executions after over a decade of problems, including four botched executions. Attempts to use new drug combinations or those that have failed in past lethal injections amount to little more than human experimentation. “Even worse, because of a secrecy law enacted by our legislature, Ohioans cannot have confidence that execution drugs were obtained through legal or ethical means, nor that they have been tested for efficacy or regulated in any way. “These questions will certainly be addressed by courts, but the state’s insistence to continue with executions runs counter to public support of the death penalty, which is at its lowest point in forty years. “Given all of Ohio’s problems with the death penalty and the tremendous risk we run of another botched execution, it is well past time for officials to scrap this broken system altogether.” For more information about the ACLU of Ohio’s stance on the death penalty, please look here www.acluohio.org/archives/issue/death-penalty Page 13 Invitation for Bids Interior Renovations to 7342 Kest, Sylvania, OH IFB#16-B007 Lucas Metropolitan Housing Authority (LMHA) will receive bids for interior renovations to 7342 Kest, Sylvania, OH 43560.
