•México ratifica pacifismoante primer ministrocanadiensePor E. EDUARDOCASTILLO

MEXICO (AP): Elpresidente Vicente Foxratificó el jueves ante elprimer ministro canadienseJean Chrétien la posiciónpacifista de México frente aIrak, pero advirtió queSaddam Hussein es el princi-pal responsable de resolverel conflicto en Medio Oriente.

El mandatario aclaróademás que México nodecidirá el sentido de su votoen el Consejo de Seguridadde Naciones Unidas, del cuales miembro no permanente,hasta que se presente unanueva resolución.

«Si Saddam e Irak no vana cumplir con la exigencia delos inspectores, puescambian las cosas, sin dudacambian para todo mundo»,subrayó Fox durante laceremonia oficial debienvenida a Chrétien, quienrealiza una visita oficial dedos días al país.

En rueda de prensa poste-rior a su recepción, Chrétiencoincidió con Fox y advirtióque Hussein tiene «la llavede todo esto. Si acepta y seconforma habrá paz».

Fox rechazó habermodificado el discurso deMéxico respecto a Irak y negóque haya presiones delgobierno estadounidensepara que cambie su visión,como señalaron en losúltimos días algunasversiones periodísticas.

«No hay ninguna presiónde parte de los EstadosUnidos, no hay ni siquierasugerencia alguna quepudiera representar oentenderse como algunapresión... ni ellos van a pedirni a meter presión, ni nosotroslo aceptaríamos», subrayó.

Fox elogió las ideasplasmadas en un documentoque Canadá presentó lasemana pasada en NacionesUnidas, y en el cual pideotorgar más tiempo a losinspectores de armas en Irak,al menos hasta finales demarzo próximo.

“Seguramente algunas deellas las estaremos tomandopara nuestras argumen-taciones dentro del Consejode Seguridad y para nuestraspláticas con los distintospaíses y líderes, porque sonrealmente interesantes”, dijo.

Adelante to pay trib-ute to César Chávez

César Estrada Chávez’sbirthday is March 31. Inhonor of Chávez and thevirtues he espoused,Adelante, Inc. is hosting theCésar E. Chávez Humani-tarian Award Banquet onTuesday, March 25 at theUniversity of Toledo Stu-dent Union Auditorium.

Chávez is known for hishard work and dedicationto farmworkers. He co-founded the United FarmWorkers (UFW), which at-tained many firsts under hisleadership, including:

¨ In 1966, the first genu-ine collective bargainingagreement betweenfarmworkers and growersin the history of the UnitedStates.

¨ The first union con-tracts requiring rest peri-ods, clean drinking water,hand washing facilities,banning pesticides stray-ing while workers are in thefield, and outlawing DDT.

¡Adelante con Adelante!¨ The first and only perform-

ing pension plan and first func-tioning credit union forfarmworkers.

¨ The first union contractsproviding for profit sharing andparental leave.

Chávez believed in achiev-ing his goals via non-violence.He is often quoted as saying:

“Non-violence is not inac-tion. It is discussion. It is not forthe timid or weak….Non-vio-lence is hard work. It is thewillingness to sacrifice. It is thepatience to win.”

According to VeronicaVallejo, Adelante coordinator,‘There will be numerous speak-ers and presentations at this firstyear event. Arturo S. Rodríguez,the president of the UFW andChávez’s son-in-law, will bethe keynote speaker.”

Also involved in the programwill be: Toledo’s postmaster,who will re-unveil the ChávezCommemorative stamp; Coun-cil president Louis Escobar andformer director of Adelante;Mayor Jack Ford; and JasonMartínez, of Channel 13 news.

The Chávez commemorativestamp was unveiled last Septem-ber during Hispanic HeritageMonth/Latino National Aware-ness Month, but will be re-un-veiled in honor of Chávez andthe Awards banquet.

Adelante provides Com-munity Awareness Preven-tion Project Program

Adelante Inc. has receiveda grant from the Ohio Office of

Criminal Justice Services tohelp service the South EndCommunity. The name ofthis grant is the CommunityAwareness PreventionProject (CAPP), with JoeBalderas as its Coordinator.

LatinoMix Radio hostsfundraiser baile this Saturdayat Club EscapeBy Rico de La Prensa

The program first aired onthe first Saturday in April butshifted to Sunday evenings inSeptember due to “public de-mand and economic consider-ations,” said Rios.

“The shift from Saturday toSunday was a real plus,” saidRios, “however, we now needadditional revenues from ourlistening audience to help sus-tain this vital programming.

“For this reason, LatinoMixwill be hosting a fundraisingbenefit this Saturday, March 8,from 9:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., atClub Escape, featuring threeawesome area bands—Autoridad of Detroit, La Fa-milia of Toledo, and Los CuatroVientos of Fremont.”

Mall. Admission is $10.Rios has been in the mu-

sic business for over 25 years,first as a musician, then as aproducer, promoter, andagent. He and his wife, Betty,host the popular TV show,Voces Latinas.

Miguel EstradaDr. Richard Carmona

Dear Friends.

Last Tuesday the City Commissioners of Grand Rapidsapproved the use of the Consular Identification fromMexico (Matricula Consular) as a valid identification forMexican Nationals. The agreement it is very importantdue to the large Hispanic/Latino and Mexican-Americancommunity in Western Michigan.

It is a symbol of friendship and, a humanitarian deci-sion. The Chief Assistant of Grand Rapids who deals withthis issue is Sr. Jose Reyna. Thanks so much to Sr. Reynaand the people of Grand Rapids.

Sincerely,

Antonio MezaConsul of México

WASHINGTON (AP):The White House offeredTuesday to send PresidentBush’s nominee to becomethe first Latino to sit onWashington’s federal ap-peals court to Capitol Hill tomeet with any Senate Demo-crat willing to talk to him.

Democrats have refusedto let Miguel Estrada’s nomi-nation for the U.S. Court ofAppeals for the District ofColumbia come up for a finalSenate vote after complain-ing that the Washington law-yer was not forthcomingenough about his legal opin-ions during his confirmationhearing last year.

In letters sent to SenateDemocrats, White Houselawyer Alberto Gonzalessaid Estrada was willing tocome and talk to them one-on-one to answer “appropri-ate questions” about hisrecord as he already has donewith 10 Senate Democrats.

“Estrada remains avail-able to meet with each andevery single Democraticsenator to answer appropri-ate questions about his nomi-nation,” White Housespokesman Ari Fleischersaid. “Many Democrats havenot availed themselves of theopportunity that has alreadybeen offered to meet withMr. Estrada. So this offer hasbeen made once again.”

Estrada has had some suc-cess in persuading Democratsface-to-face to support hisnomination. Sen. Bill Nelson,D-Fla., announced Tuesday hesupports Estrada after meet-ing privately with him twoweeks ago.

“While I believe Mr.Estrada could have been moreforthcoming in order to avoidthis controversy, my conclu-sion is that he is qualified toserve on the D.C. Circuit,” saidNelson. Asked Mondaywhether he would support aDemocratic filibuster to killthe nomination, he said hewould not.

Two other senators thatEstrada met with also are sup-porting his nomination, Sens.Ben Nelson of Nebraska andJohn Breaux of Louisiana.

The U.S. Court of Appealsfor the District of Columbia isconsidered the second-most-important court in the nation.Three current Supreme Courtjustices once sat on it.

Estrada lacks the judicialexperience to serve on thatcourt, Democrats contend.They also demanded copiesof confidential Justice Depart-ment memos Estrada wrotewhile working in the solicitorgeneral’s office, which repre-sents the White House beforethe Supreme Court. They saidthose writings would revealhow Estrada would think as a

judge.The Bush administration

has refused to release thememos. In addition, Repub-licans have accused Demo-crats of treating Estrada un-fairly because he is a conser-vative Latino.

Republicans lack the 60votes in the 100-member Sen-ate to force Democrats to con-firm Estrada.

Democrats urged Repub-licans on Tuesday to dropthe Estrada nomination andmove on other business likethe economy.

“As this economy wors-ens, we spend our time on thefloor totally consumed withone nomination having to dowith a circuit court nomineefor the District of Columbia,”Senate Democratic LeaderTom Daschle of South Da-kota said. “This is the thirdweek we have been on it now.Now we can resolve this mat-ter if Mr. Estrada will comeforth with the information. Butif he will not, let’s move tosomething else until he does.”

WASHINGTON (AP): Sur-geon General RichardCarmona on Thursday be-moaned a lack of Latinos inmedicine and science and saidthat affirmative action alonewould not necessarily correctthe problem.

“If Latino, black and otherminority children see Latino,black and other minority doc-tors, they will be more likelyto see the profession as anoption for them,” Carmona toldthe National Latino MedicalAssociation. “Not just doctorseither, any health profession,”he said.

After the speech, Carmonadeclined to say preciselywhether he supports the standthat President Bush has takenon affirmative action.

Bush has said that he sup-ports diversity in education,but has filed a brief with theSupreme Court opposing anaffirmative action admissionsprogram at the University ofMichigan.

“What I support is, we needto actively encourage morestudents to become scientifi-cally literate, mathematicallyliterate,” Carmona said. He said35 percent of (Latino) studentsdrop out of high school andthus “have no chance to makethat transition.”

“Affirmative action ismeaningless if you don’t havechildren that are prepared, withit or without it. The issue I’maddressing here is, our chil-dren need to be educated,” hesaid.

The Association of Ameri-can Medical Colleges has fileda brief with the Supreme Courtin support of the University ofMichigan’s admissions po-lices, along with hundreds of

other groups and professionalorganizations.

The association, which rep-resents 126 medical schools,argues in the brief that all medi-cal schools take ethnicity intoconsideration in the admissionsprocess. If schools ignored race,the percent of students fromunderrepresented minoritygroups in medical schoolswould fall from 11 percent tono more than 3 percent, theorganization said in a news re-lease about the brief.

Carmona, a high schooldropout, said he was able tobecome a doctor with the helpof an individual who took himoff the streets, noting that hesubsequently enlisted in theArmy.

Carmona, who was born inNew York and whose family isfrom Puerto Rico, said he hasencouraged diversity in the U.S.Public Health Service Commis-sioned Corps, an organizationconsisting of federal publichealth care professionals.About a third of the people inthe corps are ethnic minorities,he said.

In emphasizing the impor-tance of a diverse work force,Carmona told the audienceabout his “abuelita,” Span-ish for grandmother, for whomhe said a doctor was a lastresort. Instead, she used herbsand prayed, he said. ButCarmona said it is importantfor health care professionalsto know about such culturaltraditions.

“We are such a diversecountry,” he said. “That givesus our strength, yet we push itaside at times and ignore it asif we are all one and the solu-tions sometimes come for-ward as one size fits all, whichwe obviously know is not thecase.”

DETROIT (AP): A unionrepresenting about 160 U.S.Immigration and Naturaliza-tion Service workers in Michi-gan is demanding arbitrationon a list of grievances theysay has sapped the work force.

INS workers in Michigan demand arbitrationon grievances

PHILADELPHIA (AP):The Justice Department fileda lawsuit Tuesday against asoutheastern Pennsylvaniacounty for refusing to pro-vide Spanish-language assis-tance to its growing ranks ofLatino voters.

The federal suit also ac-cuses Berks County of vio-lating voting laws by em-ploying poll workers whoexpress “overt hostility” to-ward Latinos and activelydiscourage citizens whodon’t speak English well fromcasting ballots.

“It is a priority of this ad-ministration to ensure that allAmericans are able to vote,free of hostility, harassmentor intimidation,” AssistantAttorney General RalphBoyd said in a written state-ment.

The government’s allega-tions stem from an undercoverinvestigation during a May2001 primary. Observers saidpoll workers asked Latinosfor identification documentsthey shouldn’t have been re-quired to produce and madefrequent discriminatory andhostile remarks.

The suit follows monthsof negotiations between fed-

eral officials and the countyover its reluctance to accom-modate Spanish-speakingvoters.

The county this month re-jected a Justice Departmentproposal that would have re-quired the county to hire bi-lingual poll workers and setup a Spanish-language vot-ing information phone line,among other things.

Berks County Commis-sioner Tim Reiver said the ideaof printing bilingual ballotsand hiring translators has in-flamed the county’s English-speaking majority. “I’d say 80percent of the people are op-posed to it,” he said.

Reiver said most feel thecounty should instead encour-age its residents to learn En-glish, which he said is criticalto ending poverty. He said hewas hopeful a settlement couldbe reached before the suitcomes to trial.

About 13 percent of BerksCounty residents speak a lan-guage other than English athome, and 9.7 percent of itsresidents are Latino, accordingto the 2000 census. Federal lawrequires counties to providelanguage assistance if morethan 5 percent of voting-agecitizens speak a primary lan-guage other than English.

days were indefinitely post-poned and managers begandemanding doctors notes forsick days.

“People were sick from ex-haustion,” union presidentFrank Stanzcak told the DetroitFree Press for a story Wednes-day. “Families were being tornapart.”

INS managers said they aretrying their best to balanceworkers’ needs with their obli-gation to protect the countryfrom terrorism.

“Our main priority is thesafety and security of our bor-ders,” local INS district direc-

tor Carol Jenifer said.“We’re doing the best withwhat we have.”

She said they have re-stored automatic sick leaveand vacation time and hopeto normalize workers’schedules by hiring newemployees.

“I know fatigue has beena factor,” she said.

Because the INS work-ers are not allowed to strike,filing the grievance is thestrongest action the unioncan take. Arbitration on thegrievances is scheduled tobegin in May.

«Esta es una propuesta»del documento presentadopor Canadá, dijo Chrétien,quien añadió que el textopropone cuatro etapasdiferentes, aunque nomencionó cuáles son.

«Mientras hayaalternativas... nosotrosestaremos trabajando en esalínea de alternativas que singuerra nos lleven a lograr elpropósito de la (resolución)1441», dijo Fox.

Minutos antes, y durantela recepción de Chrétien, Foxdijo que así como Canadá,«México es un paísreconocido por su firmevocación pacifista, por sulucha en favor de la soluciónpacífica de las controversiasinternacionales».

Chrétien, por su parte,señaló que la situación glo-bal actual exige «una visiónamplia, una mente abierta yun enfoque multilateral».

HAVANA (AP): It’s hotand muggy in the dance stu-dio at Cuba’s National Bal-let, but the aspiring balleri-nas don’t seem to notice asthey twirl and execute theirmoves to the piano musicwith scrupulous precision.

Only a few of these danc-ers will chosen to be the nextSleeping Beauty orCinderella at Havana’s el-egant Gran Teatro. But allremain hopeful, keeping uptheir daily ballet classes andrehearsals.

“My childhood dreamwas to be a ballerina, like anyCuban girl” says 26-year-oldViengsay Valdes.

After slipping into herfirst ballet slippers at age 9,Valdes went on to becomeone of the few top ballet danc-ers in a country where themasses, not the elite, are thetrue classical dance aficio-nados and the ballet com-pany is among the best in theworld.

As Valdes leaves the stu-dio, dozens of girls between5 and 8 years old file into theroom in their colorful leo-tards, forming lines to awaittheir first ballet steps—andtheir first taste of the disci-pline that classical dancerequires.

“In Cuba, dancing is soimportant because it is part ofour culture,” Valdex said, re-ferring to the island’s mix ofAfrican and Spanish roots.

Funded by the island’sgovernment, Cubas classicaldance program is world-class,training dancers for a com-pany that has performed in 58countries and received about300 international awards.

Founded by Cuban’s liv-ing ballet legend Alicia Alonsoin 1948, the National Ballet ofCuba has managed to forge itsown style out of old Russianand Western techniques.

Alonso, an 82-year-oldformer prima ballerina, retainsa strong grip over the com-pany, even though she nowhas trouble moving and canbarely see.

A familiar figure with herproud, turban-wrapped headand wide mouth, Alonsoerected Cuba’s classical danceprogram from the ground,training several generationsof dancers highly sought bysome of the world’s best balletcompanies.

After having been thecompany’s director, choreog-rapher and teacher, Alonso stilldecides what the dancers willwear, who will go abroad, withwhom they will dance, whatthey will dance.

Alonso has counted on the

support of President FidelCastro and his revolutionarygovernment since the earlyyears.

“After the revolution tri-umphed in 1959, Fidelknocked on Alonso’s door tooffer the new government’shelp and he promised that hewould make (ballet) availableto all social classes,” saidMiguel Cabrera, ballet schoolhistorian.

“The government paid foreverything from the build-ing to rehearsals, salaries andballet shoes,” Cabrera added.

As a top dancer, Valdesreceives a government sal-ary similar to that of an im-portant scientist or doctor:about 600 Cubans pesos(about US$25) a month.

She has toured with theCuban ballet and as a guestwith foreign companies, giv-ing part of her foreign earn-ings to the government.

“Now my target is toachieve international recog-nition,” said Valdes. “But Iwill always be linked to thisballet and to my country.”

According to Crew-mem-ber Yvonne Ramos, “One ofthe highlights of this dynamicand diversified 4-hour pro-gram is the receipt of telephonecalls from our listening audi-

ence seeking dedications,special requests, and just plainchit chat.

“One of favorite callers isCarmen Rodríguez. We alsohave numerous listeners whoare lodged in several areajails—I am happy we can easetheir burden of incarcera-tion.”

Ramos commented on thegood chemistry of theLatinoMix Crew, stating,“our diversified backgrounds

local agencies, organizationsand the City to help reducecrime and the deteriorationplaguing the South Endneighborhood.”

“Throughout the comingyear the CAPP Board willpresent public forums to hearcommunity concerns andcomplaints, present informa-tion about protecting homesand valuables includingcrime prevention methods.Tours of the neighborhoodwill also take place to iden-tify eyesores or areas consid-

ered unsafe.“This is as an excellent

opportunity for South Endresidents to voice concernsand participate in the Com-munity Awareness Preven-tion Project,” said Balderas.

According to Balderas,“we have had poor police re-sponses to problems withinour community. For example,I once had an overnight alarmat the Sofia Quintero Centerand the police failed to re-spond.”

“Recently, two womanwere attacked by animbalanced woman at LaPaloma Bakery. AlamarPérez, co-owner of La Paloma,was on the telephone whenthis woman came into thepremises screaming and thengrabbed several pastry traysand attacked Alamar,” saidBalderas.

According to Balderas thepolice did arrive but did notfollow-up with any investi-gation or prosecution.

“Maybe CAPP will rem-edy this problem,” concludedBalderas.

A CAPP Board is beingformed with current membersincluding: Joe Balderas

(CAPP Coordinator), RobertKasprzak (Director for Heri-tage South), Sgt. Cook (To-ledo Police Dept.

ARIES: (March 21-April 20)It’s time to let well enough alone. Learn to recognize when

you’ve done all you can, and move on. Hindsight is always20-20, so learn from mistakes and decide to do better nexttime. If you exercise a little patience, your rewards will beevident.

TAURUS: (April 21 - May 21)Love is everywhere during the week. Either a current love

is rekindled or you may be in for a new attraction. In any case,the rules have changed, and even if with an old flame, therelationship is completely new. Being around positive peoplewill lift your spirits.

GEMINI: (May 22 - June 21)If the attitudes of others seem to be holding you back, it’s

time to be a little more self-centered in order to get yourselfback into the swing of what is good for you. A little separationfrom others can be a good thing. Opportunities will abound,look for them.

CANCER: (June 22 - July 23)You have a reason to be proud of your output and quality

of work this week. Work will provide you with a welcomerespite from other worries. If your attitude concerning arelationship does not seem to change, you may be looking atthe situation from the wrong view. Don’t try so hard.

LEO: (July 24- August 23)If you have been running yourself ragged, preventative

measures may be needed to keep your health up to par. Moneyis likely to be tight for the near future, but don’t let it stop youfrom making plans to get away on vacation. Your lover is anabsolute joy to you.

VIRGO: (August 24 - September 23)If you ponder over the “what if’s,” even more questions

will arise. It’s not worth putting yourself through such self-criticism. What’s done is done, and you can only resolve todo better next time. Your drive for perfection is unrealistic,for there is no such thing as perfection.

LIBRA: (September 24 - October 23)If there is a change in plans this week, make the best of the

situation. Something very promising may come of whatseems to be a missed opportunity. Your love life is gettingback on track, so take the opportunity to work out details, andgo slowly with your mate.

SCORPIO: (October 24 - November 22)Your hard work is not always noticed or appreciated by

others. Whatever you do must satisfy you first—relying onothers will keep you feeling disappointed. Sweet memoriesmay cause you to look back on the past with a sense of lossand some regret—the good old days.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 - December 21)It just might come to blows with a loved one during this

week. Give each other time to cool off before approaching thesubject in a reasonable mood. Good news about money maylighten up your mood a bit. The way you use informationpresented to you pleases your superiors.

CAPRICORN: (December 22 - January 20)Your nature insists you follow the rules, but an acquain-

tance, who is more of a free spirit, prefers spontaneity—learnfrom him. Don’t fall into the trap of judging others, rememberthat you don’t know what motivates and influences others todo what they do. Take a firm hand on money matters.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 - February 19)Your personal brand of creativity is crying out to be let

loose, allow time for this expression to take place, and don’tbe too attached to producing immediate masterpieces. If aproblem is backing you into a corner, focus your energies ondiffusing it.

PISCES: (February 20 - March 20)Keeping your feelings under wrap will create the illusion

of control. If you take the risk of expressing yourself to a lovedone, no one will care if you break down. It’s going to hurtfalling down—but you are better off jumping in, instead ofwatching from a distance.

IF THIS WEEK IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Your creativeenergies express themselves in very tangible ways. You do notbuild castles in the sky, but tend to put down roots and builduseful things, which are meant to last. Your life work willalways involve building and growing.

LAS VEGAS (AP): RoyJones hijo no necesitó correr yno quiso ocultarse, además nituvo que hacerlo ante uncampeón de los pesados que nofue rival para sus habilidades.

Jones se mantuvo casiinmóvil durante gran parte dela pelea y simplemente superóen número de golpesconectados al puertorriqueñoJohn Ruiz, al que destronó elsábado por la noche, paraconvertirse en apenas elsegundo monarca semipesadoen ganar un título de lospesados.

En un combate en el quehubo algunos destellos deacción y largos períodos deinactividad entre golpes, Jonesganó por decisión unánimedespués de 12 asaltos para ganarla corona de los pesados avaladapor la Asociación Mundial deBoxeo.

Ya para media pelea, Jonesestaba provocando a Ruizparándose frente a él, y retándolo aintercambiar golpes. Cuando Ruizlograba conectarle alguno, Joneslograba salirse rápidamente de sualcance antes de regresar con otraandanada de golpes por su parte.

Jones se convirtió en elprimer monarca semi-completoen ganar un título de los pesadosdesde que lo hiciera MichaelSpinks en 1985, ante LarryHolmes.

Spinks vio el combate desdelas butacas al lado delcuadrilátero mientras sedesarrollaba la pelea bajo unpatrón bastante predecible, conJones conectando golpes aplacer con la mano izquierda yRuiz sin mucha capacidad dehacer algo, sino empujar a surival contra las cuerdas.

Los jueces vieron ganar aJones por 118-110, 117-111 y116-112. La Associated Pressvio ganar a Jones por 116-112.
