Puerto Rico, que han hecho
que más de 200.000 personas

DIA hosts Migguel Anggelo for acclaimed
show “Another Son of Venezuela,” Nov. 18th
DETROIT: Brooklynbased, Venezuelan-born dynamo Migguel Anggelo
brings his acclaimed show
“Another Son of Venezuela”
to the Detroit Institute of Arts
(DIA) on Nov. 18, 2016, as
part of its Friday Night Live!
Concert series.
With his virtuosic band
The Immigrants and a pair of
sensational singers, Anggelo
will create a kaleidoscope of
vocal theatrics and poetic
storytelling that is both hilarious and touching.
Presented by Culture
Lab Detroit, the performance will take place in the
museum’s Detroit Film Theatre auditorium at 7 p.m. and
is free with museum admission, which is free for residents of Wayne, Oakland,
and Macomb counties.
Developed with and directed by Obie Award winner
David Drake and musical director Mau Quiros, “Another
Son of Venezuela” explores
the very personal immigration themes of love, loss, family and national pride, as well
as the challenges of claiming
an authentic
identity in the
United States.
By combining Latin,
pop and folk
music classics
with his and
Quiros’ original compositions, Anggelo
forges a new
music-theater
experience in
an increasingly bilingual world.
“’Another
Son of Venezuela’ sheds light
on the complexities of being
an immigrant in the United
States—an experience I know
well—and conveys that story
in a way that all of our visitors
can relate to” said DIA Director Salvador Salort-Pons.
“The DIA is a place where the
arts can function as springboard
to bring to the foreground important current issues in our
society. Music, in this case, is
a language that will help bring
a fresh perspective about immigration and foster a better
Image credit: Nico Iliev
understanding and friendly
dialogue within our communities.”
Anggelo began his career at age 13 as Pinocchio in
a South American touring
production of the Broadway
musical. He trained for a
dozen years in classical ballet, studied voice at the Conservatory of Music in Cologne, Germany, has written
music throughout all of his
journeys as an immigrant in
several countries and has released two albums.

The clerk of

kiosks so the
blind and visually-impaired could conduct
court business more easily.
That technology came at the
suggestion of a visually-impaired lawyer.
A year before, Quilter
worked with the Lucas
County Sheriff to establish
an after-hours bail program
designed to allow individuals arrested on lesser crimes
to post bail on weekends and
after normal business hours.
The program allowed the
Sheriff to address overcrowding issues at the Lucas

Quilter currently serves as
the president of the Ohio
Council of County Officials
(OCCO), which consists of
leaders from each of the
state’s county official associations—auditor, treasurer,
clerk of courts, recorder, and
others. The group meets bimonthly to discuss ways to
improve and streamline their
county operations in Ohio.
The clerk of courts stated
Bernie Quilter
his office tracks a pair of
economic indicators that
provide early trends for how
Northwest Ohio is faring—
auto sales and home foreclosures. Typically, while
one goes up, the other goes
down, indicating whether
the region is in a recession
or economic recovery.
For example, home foreclosures hit their highest
level in 2009 with 4,160,
while new auto sales dipped
the same year to 18, 997—
right in the middle of the
most recent recession.
Those numbers completely
reversed themselves in
2015—with just 847 foreclosure filings last year, but
26,770 new auto sales, the
highest level in a decade.
Quilter served for two
terms on Oregon City from
1995 to 1999, then was appointed clerk of courts. He
was elected to his first term
a year later and has won reelection three times since.
He is married with three
grown children. The clerk

suffered from the condition,
even testifying at the Ohio

restoration of respite services for caregivers.

Former south-end library to become credit union, med clinic
BY Kevin Milliken, La Prensa Correspondent
TOLEDO, Oct. 31, 2016:
Families in need of banking
and medical services will be
able to do some one-stop shopping starting next spring. The
former South End library
branch, 1638 Broadway, will
see new life as the new home of
the Nueva Esperanza Community Credit Union (NECCU), as
well as a medical clinic for
Compassion Health Toledo, a
nonprofit health care provider
affiliated with ProMedica.
State and local officials outlined renovation plans for the

“There will be some pri-

mary care physicians who will
be here as well. So it will be a
primary care focus, but there
will be family medicine as well
as ob-gyn. They will be doing
some lab draws as well,” explained Lori Johnston,
ProMedica chief information
officer and a board member for
Compassion Health Toledo,
who also stated the clinic will
keep poor families from using
the emergency room as their
primary care physician. “That’s
why ProMedica really got involved in this project.
“This is a very underserved
area. This should really help us
in terms of getting more preventive care and to help identify some of the other social
determinants that these families are really challenged
with—whether that’s food,
transportation. The more we
can deal with that in a preven-
tive way, the better off it’s
going to be for this community.”
For example, ProMedica
runs “food pharmacies” at each
of its healthcare facilities,
where families in need can
access temporary sources of
sustenance. In this case, families would simply be referred
down Broadway to a
ProMedica partner agency, the
nearby Seagate Food Bank.
Client families also would
meet with social workers to
get signed up for other services, such as Medicaid if they
qualify. Staff at both the credit
union and medical clinic will
be bilingual, to better serve
the predominantly Latino
neighborhood and any undocumented or Spanishspeaking families who seek
services.
Dr. Anne Ruch, executive
director of Compassion Health
stated the impetus for starting
health clinic began several
years ago when she was volunteering on a Lifeline medical mission and she realized
the need for healthcare among
what are some of the poorest
zip codes in Toledo. She first
saw the empty library branch
three years ago.
“I thought the architecture
of this building just looks like
someone with outstretched
arms trying to provide help for
those in need,” she said.
“I believe this is one of the
classic examples of two great
ideas that came together and a
lot of outstanding people who
care about the community who
have come together in an ex-
traordinary way to
serve people in need
and serve an area of
this city in need,”
said Sen. Gardner,
while crediting
Heritage South for
bringing the project
to the attention of
state legislators.
“I’m just excited
that the people of
this area will be
served in such an
important and profound way.”
“One
thing
about the community is they
are learning how to get things
done,” said Sen. Edna Brown
(D-Toledo). “Not only are we
taking an old, stately building
and renovating it. I got really
excited when I was told this
would be the one and only
Latino credit union in the state
of Ohio.”
Adam Martínez, a former
Toledo city council member
and board president of the
credit union, told reporters the
permanent home will allow
NECCU to “expand its footprint to Fulton and Wood counties and eventually grow into
a larger state institution.”
NECCU is the first Latino credit
union established in Ohio and
just the third nationwide.
“The credit union has some
very meager beginnings, starting out from out CEO’s car and
trying to build trust within our
community,” Martínez said.
“Since then, we’ve been able to
invest over a million dollars in
our Latino community. By having a home base here in the
Adam Martínez
South End, it really is just a
dream come true. We’ve started
this process stop-and-go over
the past several years and now
we finally feel we have a place
to call home to fulfill our mission.”
“One of the problems small
businesses face is capital. One
of the things families face, especially immigrant families, is
getting that first house,” said
Rep. Michael Sheehy (D-East
Toledo), who helped shepherd
the capital budget item
through the Ohio House.
“What a perfect combination.
We have a good health system
being set up, as well as an opportunity for capital for young
families and small businesses.”
Credit union board members Roberto Martínez and
Martha Delgado also attended
the press conference, along
with credit union CEO Sue
Cuevas. NECCU currently
operates out of a small storefront at 1232 Broadway.

La ilusión de los Indios se desvaneció en el
7mo juego
Por TOM WITHERS y ERIC NÚÑEZ, Associated Press
CLEVELAND, 3 XI 16
(AP): Superaron las
lesiones, la adversidad y las
dudas toda la temporada. El
pequeño equipo que pudo
lograrlo.
Los Indios eran un
modelo de tenacidad,
expertos en remontar.
Derríbelos, volverán a
levantarse de inmediato
como hicieron en el séptimo
juego cuando estaban en la
lona.
Pero no pudieron
contener a unos Cachorros
que estaban rompiendo sus
propias maldiciones.
La inesperada e
inolvidable temporada de
Cleveland terminó a una
Victoria—tan cerca que
resulta doloroso—de un
título de la Serie Mundial,
después de que Chicago
completara una remontada
desde un déficit 3-1 en la
serie para hacerse con su
primer campeonato desde
1908, al derrotar a los Indios
el jueves de madrugada por
8-7 en 10 innings.
“Estoy orgulloso y
contento de mi equipo”,
dijo el torpedero Francisco
Lindor, quien en su segunda
campaña en las mayores
emergió como una las
principales revelaciones de
esta temporada.
“Ellos jugaron muy bien
los últimos tres juegos y
merecieron ganar”, añadió el
jugador puertorriqueño.
“Vamos a trabajar más fuerte
el año que viene”
Los Indios simplemente se
quedaron cortos en el séptimo
juego. Su astro Corey Kluber
no consiguió su tercera
victoria de la serie, Andrew
Miller se vio como un mortal
en labor de relevo y un bullpen
fundido finalmente se
derrumbó en extra innings.
En el octavo, un jonrón de
dos carreras de Rajai Davis
salvó brevemente la
temporada. Pero este año
pertenece a los Cachorros, que
anotaron dos veces en el 10mo
ante Bryan Shaw tras un receso
por la lluvia de 17 minutos.
Cleveland
intentó
remontar de nuevo en la parte
baja, cuando un sencillo
remolcador de Davis con dos
outs puso el 8-7. Pero
entonces, Michael Martínez
falló con un rodado ante Mike
Montgomery, y todo terminó.
La campaña de los Indios
de la postemporada causó
asombro. Habían perdido por
lesiones a dos piezas clave de
su rotación abridora, el
venezolano Carlos Carrasco
y el dominicano Danny
Salazar. Además, su estelar
jardinero Michael Brantley,
solo disputó un puñado de
partidos por culpa de lesiones.
“No estoy molesto, pero
me duele. Al mismo tiempo,
estoy con la cabeza en alta
porque las cosas que hicimos
durante el año fueron
increíbles y nadie esperaba
esto de nosotros”.
Obligados a enfrentar sin
dos abridores al nuevo
entretenimiento preferido
de postemporada, estos
talentosos Cachorros,
Cleveland no logró estar a la
altura.
Ahora, la sequía de 68
años de los Indios sin ganar
una Serie Mundial se
convierte en la más larga de
las mayores.
Su manager Terry
Francona, de 57 años, logró
de algún modo que los Indios
sortearan los peligros durante meses. Sacó todo el
partido a su plantilla, en su
mayoría desconocidos para
el resto del país, pero que
ahora son un equipo digno
de seguir en los años por
venir.
“No tenemos que estar
cabizbajos”, señaló el
segunda base Jason Kipnis.
“Superamos todas las
adversidades. Sufrimos
lesiones. Nos pasó de todo y
nunca esgrimos ninguna
excusa. Estoy de orgulloso
de lo que conseguimos,
exigiendo a un tremendo
equipo a extra inning en un
séptimo inning de la Serie
Mundial. Estoy seguro que
vamos a volver”.

29th Annual Blade Holiday Parade set for
Nov. 12
TOLEDO: The 29th Annual Blade Holiday Parade,
presented by the Taylor Automotive Family, will step
off at 10 a.m. in downtown
Toledo on Saturday, November 12, 2016. According to organizers, “With
nearly 20,000 spectators and
more than 80 participating
organizations, this is one of
the largest holiday parades
in the Midwest.”
The parade will extend its
route this year through the
Warehouse District. It begins
at the corner of North Summit
and Jefferson streets, turning
left onto Adams Street and
making its way to Huron
Street, going left all the way
to Lafayette Street, left again
on St. Clair Street, and finishing at Monroe Street.
This year’s Grand Marshal will be Calysta Bevier,
an Otsego High School student who performed on
America’s Got Talent and is
a cancer survivor. After the
parade, Calysta will conduct
a meet-and-greet and perform at Kris Kringle Village
in Hensville Park. She will
sing holiday songs and songs
from her new
album.
The star
of the parade,
Santa himself, will arrive on a special float
pulled by
nine reindeer. After
the parade,
Santa will be
available at
Imagination
Station for
free photos
and to hear
children’s
Christmas wishes, courtesy of
Taylor Automotive.
More than 100 members of
the Distinguished Clown
Corps will participate. When
the parade was first begun, local business executives were
invited to be a clown for a day
to make balloons and hand out
candy along the parade route.
Today, the Distinguished
Clown Corps includes some of
the city’s top executives, and
their sponsorship helps pay for
many of the expenses associated with the Holiday Parade.
Other highlights include:
high school and college
marching bands, giant helium
balloons, Zenobia Shrine
entertainment units, floats,
equestrian units, vintage and
unique vehicles, and dance
troupes.
The Holiday Parade will
be hosted by Rick Woodell
of 101.5FM, The River. A
taped-delay broadcast of the
parade will be shown on
Buckeye Broadband Channel 69 at noon on November
24 and November 26.
Medical Mutual Awards $1 Million to Benefit
Tri-C Nursing and Health Career Students
CLEVELAND, Nov. 1,
2016: Medical Mutual of
Ohio today announced a
$1 million gift to increase
the number of scholarships
awarded to nursing and
health career students at
Cuyahoga Community
College (Tri-C®).
The donation expands
the existing Medical Mutual Nursing and Health
Careers Endowed Scholarship Fund, which was established at Tri-C in 2012
through the Cuyahoga
Community College Foundation.
Eighty scholarships
have been awarded to Medical Mutual Scholars since
just to prevent Donald Trump
from winning the White
House.
“His conversation is divisive,” said Jay Z. “He cannot
be our president”
Big Sean recalled being
in the audience eight years
ago when Jay Z hosted a similar free event for Obama’s
campaign in 2008.
Now, he told the cheering
audience, “we with her.”
At one point, Clinton’s
famous quote that she “could
have stayed home and baked
cookies” flashed on the big
screens. At another, the slogan “bad officials are elected
by good citizens who do not
vote” was blasted to the crowd.
Clinton offered her own
praise for the show. “I am so
energized after this concert
and I have to say: Didn’t you
love the pantsuits?”
the scholarship fund began.
So far, 31 of those Scholars
have graduated from Tri-C
and taken jobs helping others across Northeast Ohio.
“It feels great to know
we’re helping the next generation of nursing and health
care professionals as they
learn their craft at Tri-C,”
said Rick Chiricosta, chairman, president and CEO of
Medical Mutual. “We know
this is a winning investment
that will benefit our community for decades to
come.”
Tri-C President Alex
Johnson said the Medical
Mutual gift will have an enduring impact. The College
ranks among the national
leaders in awarding nursing
and health career degrees,
meeting the need for skilled
workers in an industry vital
to the region’s economy.
“The generosity and
commitment of Medical
Mutual to the future development of health care professionals in Northeast Ohio
is truly inspiring,” Johnson
said. “This support will
change the lives of Tri-C
students and every person
they care for during their
careers.”
The donation was announced during the
Foundation’s Presidential
Scholarship Luncheon.

Veterans to be recognized at UT’s annual
service Nov. 11
Two World War II veterans will be recognized during a special ceremony at
the annual Veterans Appreciation Breakfast and Resource Fair at The University of Toledo, where the
community honors veterans and active military for
their service.
Army Sgt. Richard Perry,
UT professor emeritus, and
Pfc. David Schwartz will be
awarded the French Legion
of Honor, the highest award
that can be bestowed by the
French government.
The special recognition
is part of the 12th annual
Veterans Day celebration
that will take place at 9 a.m.
Friday, Nov. 11, 2016, in
Savage Arena on UT’s Main
Campus. Doors open at 8
a.m.
Lucas County Sheriff
John Tharp, a Vietnam veteran who received the
Bronze Star for his service
as a combat medic, will give
a keynote address for the
appreciation event that includes a breakfast and fair
to provide the community
access to military-focused
resources.
Consul General Vincent
Floreani from the French
Consulate in Chicago will
present the honors to the
local veterans designating
them as models of French
civic service. The French
Legion of Honor is founded
on the principles of rewarding individual merit, universal recognition, and
contribution to the public
good and is awarded to
people who have carried out
actions of great value.
”It is important for the
community to come together to show appreciation
for the men and women who
have served our country, and
this year we have the great
opportunity to welcome a
representative of the French
government to join us in
doing so as they recognize
two
local
World War II
veterans with
their highest
honor,” said
Navy Reserve
Lt. Haraz N.
Ghanbari, director of military and veteran
affairs at UT.
Perry served
57 years at UT
teaching education courses
and holding
various administrative positions. He enlisted in the
U.S. Army in
1943 and was honorably
discharged in 1946 with the
rank of sergeant. He then
earned bachelor’s, master’s
and doctoral degrees from
UT and began his career at
his alma mater.
He was presented last
year with the Soldier’s
Medal during a ceremony
at UT that was awarded for
his bravery during a 1945
explosion of an ammunition trailer in Germany during which he carried injured
men to safety and removed
unexploded ammunition to
protect others. Perry also has
received a Purple Heart and
two Bronze Stars, including one for valor.
Following the annual
appreciation event, UT also
will unveil new markers at
the UT Veterans Memorial
Plaza, an outdoor area that
honors individuals and
groups who served in the
U.S. military. The new Gold
Star Memorial and a Blue
Star Memorial markers installed at the plaza pay tribute to the Gold Star families
whose loved ones paid the
ultimate price defending the
country and to those Blue
Star families who have defended, are defending, or
will defend the United
States of America.
The University has long
been recognized as a military friendly school for its
commitment to providing
exceptional service and
support to the nation’s service members, veterans and
their families.
In 2017, UT was again
recognized by Military
Times in its Best for Vets:
Colleges 2017 rankings
and by Military Advanced
Education & Transition as
a top school in its 2017

the proper way to dispose of
a flag that is no longer suitable for display, and preside
over the retirement of several U.S. flags.
Free parking for the Veterans Appreciation Breakfast and Resource Fair will
be available in lots 3, 5 and
6 near Savage Arena. A
shuttle also will transport
visitors from the event to
the Veterans Memorial

ICE should not use private prison to hold
immigrants, says ACLU of Ohio
CLEVELAND, Oct. 27,
2016: The Department of
Homeland Security (DHS)
is pursuing a contract with
the private prison company
Corrections Corporation
of America (CCA) to hold
people in the Northeast
Ohio Correctional Center
in Youngstown prior to deporting them.
“Incarcerating thousands of immigrants in a
private prison before deporting them is unjust and
allowing a corporation to
profit from it is a travesty,”
said Mike Brickner, Senior
Policy Director of the
ACLU of Ohio.
The U.S. Immigrations
and Customs Enforcement
Agency (ICE) is seeking
5,000 new beds to house
the unprecedented num-
bers of immigrants who are
in its custody. “The DHS’s
decision to partner with private prisons sends a horrible
message about profiteering
at the expense of individuals seeking asylum,” said
Brickner.
DHS’s decision to negotiate deals with private prisons is especially troubling
as just two months ago the
Department of Justice announced the end of its use of
private prisons after finding
evidence of widespread
abuse.
Following suit, DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson asked the
Homeland Security Advisory Council to review its
current policy on the use of
private immigration detention centers and evaluate
whether to eliminate the prac-
tice. Prior to DOJ’s announcement this year, the
federal Bureau of Prisons had
cancelled its contract with
CCA in Youngstown in December 2014.
“During ICE detention,
these people have been subject to abuse and mistreatment,” said Brickner.
“Incentivizing private companies to detain people for
profit only exacerbates our
criminal justice system
problems. To allow more
people to be incarcerated for
a profit in Ohio sends our
state in the wrong direction.”
We urge local legislators to
immediately call for an end
to the contract discussions
between ICE and CCA and
prevent the Youngstown
prison from becoming an
ICE detention center.

OBITUARIES
IRENE GARCÍA DE JUÁREZ
June 30, 1946 to October 22, 2016
Irene García Juárez entered into eternal rest at her San Antonio residence on October 22,
2016, at 4:13 pm after a long battle of ALS. Irene G. Juárez was born in Karnes City, TX but
subsequently her family move to Ohio. She started
school in Ohio where she attended St. Mary’s grade
school and Notre Dame High School. Irene married her
first husband, Leo, and had four boys.
Before she started her career, she worked at the
YWCA, Sun Oil Refinery, and later retired from the
Dental Dispensary of Northwest Ohio. Aside from her
career, came a lifelong passion for dancing to Tejano
music as well as bowling at the Lido Lanes in Toledo.
She was an avid sports fan who followed a variety of
sports from the Little League, into high school and
collegiate levels and onto professional action where she
closely followed her beloved Detroit Lions and Tigers
and San Antonio Spurs.
After her first husband’s death, she discovered her love
for traveling. This led her back to Texas, where she always
called home. With her beautiful hazel, green eyes and alluring smile, she attracted many friends
and her own Texas cowboy, Mario Juárez Sr., who changed her life in more ways than one.
After they fell deeply in love and married in 1998, she decided to move to San Antonio
where she enjoyed Fiesta, Tejano music, and parades. She and Mario made many trips to
casinos across the country where she was the luckiest person around.
She resided in her San Antonio home for the last 18 years, where she enjoyed cooking a
variety of meals. She especially enjoyed baking Snickerdoodles and making Waffles for all
her family and friends. Irene and Mario became known as “Grandma and Grandpa” of their
neighborhood. Irene always knew how to make everyone feel welcomed and loved. She will
also hold a special place in our Texas hearts.
She’s preceded in death by her first husband, Leo García and both parents María Hinojosa
and Timoteo Urrutia, Sister Christine Ochoa, and son Tony García.
She is survived by her second husband Mario Juárez Sr.; brother Michael (Michal) Urrutia;
sisters Mary (John) Flores and Helen (Richard) Hoffman; sons Chris Frias (Kelley), Tom (Tracy)
García, and Dan (Kristine) García; step-children, daughters Yolanda Juárez (Rey), Patricia and
Fernando Morales; sons Mario (Maria) Juárez, Richard (Alicia) Juárez, Jesús (Veronica)

and great grandchildren.
In honor to Irene G. Juárez, contributions should be made to the ALS Association.

Joaquín Castro kicked off
early vote events, urging

would do serious harm to
our economy and has
exhibited deeply concerning
behavior towards women.”
The twins also discussed
how Ms. Clinton is
“uniquely prepared for the
presidency,” while Trump is
“temperamentally unfit to
be Commander-in-Chief.”

Responding
to a mental
health crisis
BOWLING GREEN:
Most of us are far more
likely to encounter a
person in emotional crisis than one in cardiac
arrest. But, though
many people can administer CPR, very few know
how to respond to a
mental health crisis.
That’s why NAMI
(National Alliance on
Mental Illness) of Wood
County is offering Mental Health First Aid on
November 12, 2016,
from 8:30 AM to 4:30
PM, at its offices at: 541
West Wooster St., Bowling Green, Ohio.
Mental Health First
Aid teaches a five-step
plan for helping someone in a mental health
crisis and connecting
the person to appropriate help. First responders, law
enforcement, teachers, students, and all concerned
citizens are welcome to take the course, which is
taught by trained facilitators.
Just as one need not be a medical doctor to administer cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, a community
member need not be a psychologist to recognize when
someone is in emotional crisis and help him find
professional care.
The fee for the training is $12.00. For more
information or to register, please call NAMI
Wood County at 419-352-0626 or go online at
www.namiwoodcounty.org.
