Proudly Serving Our Readers since 1989 La Prensa Página 2 Kerry endorses LA mayoral candidate Villaraigosa mentioning Hahn’s name. By MICHAEL R. BLOOD Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES (AP): Repaying a political ally from his presidential bid, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry on Saturday endorsed LA mayoral candidate Antonio Villaraigosa at a campaign rally in the city’s San Fernando Valley. Echoing themes from his 2004 campaign, the Democratic senator said the May 17 election will reward the candidate who makes the best case for public safety, health care and education. Villaraigosa, who could become the city’s first Hispanic mayor in more than a century, is trying to oust Mayor James Hahn, a fellow Democrat. “These are the issues that are on the ballot when you vote for mayor of this city, and that’s why I’m here to endorse your next mayor,” Kerry said after embracing Villaraigosa, who was one of Kerry’s national campaign co-chairs last year. “I’m not here against anybody,” Kerry told hundreds of Villaraigosa supporters at Los Angeles Valley College. “I’m here for somebody—I’m here for a set of hopes and dreams and aspirations that we know can make a difference in the quality of our lives.” Villaraigosa, a city councilman and former Assembly speaker “will be a mayor for all the people of Los Angeles,” the senator said, never The endorsement from one of the nation’s best-known Democrats came as a welcome respite for Villaraigosa after several days of questions over fund-raising prompted his campaign to return $47,000 in donations to employees of to two Florida-based companies. Prosecutors have been investigating Hahn’s administration for months, looking into allegations that officials traded city contracts for campaign donations. In a race that has been marked by nasty exchanges over trust and character, Villaraigosa said in is remarks that politics was “too much about charges and countercharges ... too much about derision and not enough about vision.” Speaking from a podium beneath an arch of red, white and blue balloons, Villaraigosa depicted Hahn as a leader of “limited horizons” and vowed, “If you accept mediocrity, you better be prepared to live with it. I won’t accept mediocrity.” Within view from the stage, dozens of Hahn supporters carrying blue and orange campaign signs taunted Villaraigosa about campaign donations from Florida, chanting: “Antonio, mayor of Miami” and “We trust Hahn.” The county district attorney said Friday he was launching a preliminary investigation of the Villaraigosa donations, following news reports that several of the workers appeared confused when asked Antonio Villaraigosa about their checks. It is not illegal for employees, or multiple employees, from a company to donate to a campaign, but it is illegal for anyone to reimburse employees for their contributions. Hahn, long facing ethics questions regarding so-called pay-to-play contributions in his administration, pounced on the difficulties facing his rival. “The key thing for all of us is it appears that from these news reports, people didn’t seem to know they had made a contribution to somebody running for mayor, or didn’t know when they’d made it,” Hahn told reporters Saturday at a rally in South Los Angeles. “The fact that an investigation has begun is going to help get these questions answered. I think it is important that it be resolved as quickly as possible.” Kerry is one of a string of high-profile supporters behind Villaraigosa, who has also been endorsed by basketball legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson and Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Los Angeles, a Democratic icon in the city’s black community. La Prensa Newspaper Staff Culturas Publications, Inc.

Rep. Michelle Schneider, a Cincinnati Republican, last week introduced a bill that would prohibit health insurance plans for public employees from paying for abortions unless the woman’s life is at risk. It also would keep publicly owned clinics and hospitals from offering abortion services, unless for the same reason. Fellow Cincinnati Republican Tom Brinkman’s bill, introduced April 28, would ban all abortions. Brinkman acknowledged it likely would be struck down if it became Ohio law, but he wants to use it as a test case for the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that allowed abortion nationwide. The two bills mark the return of an issue that causes deep divisions among lawmakers and their constituents. Aside from the passage of a bill 486, which a judge blocked from taking effect, and a new “Choose Life” license plate, there have been few signs of the issue around the Statehouse. Brinkman’s bill changed that. He said that with the court’s current makeup, the 1973 ruling will stand. But Chief Justice William Rehnquist, 80, is fighting thyroid cancer and many court observers expect he will step down, although he surprised many by returning to the court full-time after treatment. His retirement would create an opening and antiabortion forces hope President Bush would add a like-minded judge to the court. “The goal of my bill is to pass a law that will prove to be a test case before the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade,” Brinkman said Friday. “I’m not counting on it. I’m assuming there will be some turnover.” Rep. Bill Seitz, another Cincinnati Republican and abortion foe, wonders why the state should get involved. “The Supreme Court has not changed composition,” he said. “Why should we go all that money?” The bill has not garnered the support of all anti-abortion groups. “We took a look at reality. The reality is we are far, far away from Roe v. Wade being overruled,” said Denise Mackura, executive director of Ohio Right to Life. The abortion-rights group NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio believes Brinkman’s goal might be reached, possibly not with Rehnquist’s replacement but when another judge leaves the court. “If they were to overturn Roe, then Brinkman’s bill would go into immediate effect. ... It would be much more restrictive than before Roe v. Wade,” said Kellie Copeland, the group’s executive director. Schneider’s bill has a much better chance at passage, both sides agree. It has 53 co-sponsors in the 99-member House. Brinkman’s bill, introduced earlier and with 17 co-sponsors, has not yet been assigned to a committee. Schneider, who wants all abortion banned, supports Brinkman, but her own bill came at the encouragement (Continued on p. 5) Spain to grant nearly 700,000 work permits in amnesty to illegals (AP): Unlike recent xenophobia demonstrated by members of the U.S. Congress and the Senate, the Spanish government is to grant nearly 700,000 new work and residency permits for immigrants after completing the country’s biggest immigration reform. The amnesty for illegal immigrants is expected to have a significant impact on the country’s social security system, increasing the number of registered workers by about 4 percent. “So far, we have 672,347 jobs emerging from the underground economy,” Labor Minister Jesus Caldera told reporters on Saturday, the last day to apply for the amnesty in Spain. Residence and work permits are being given to unregistered immigrants who can prove they have lived in Spain for at least six months and can show a contract from an employer offering them work for the same amount of time. Most of Spain’s immigrants are from Latin America, North Africa and Eastern Europe. The amnesty was introduced at a time when the European Union is debating the need to establish a single policy for immigration. Due to low birth rates and an aging population, the EU will need to look to immigrants to fill 20 million jobs between 2010 and 2030. Mirroring a trend in the U.S., cheap foreign labor has been a key driver behind Spain’s economic prosperity, curbing inflationary pressures, fueling consumption and helping push the country’s unemployment rate down to 10 percent from about 23 percent ten years ago. Spain has implemented six amnesty programs in the past 15 years, with the number of legal immigrants quadrupling to more than two million at present. But as the Spanish economy boomed in recent years, illegal immigration flows persisted—in the U.S., President George W. Bush has alluded to such amnesty for foreign workers, but his administration has not pushed this agenda to fruition. According to the latest data from municipal records, La Prensa Lorain & Cleveland Staff Roberta M. Rosa - Reportera Teodosio Feliciano - Reportero & Fotógrafo Rico - Fotógrafo VENTAS: Rubén Torres Lorain Field Representative 440.320.8221 Teodosio Feliciano Cleveland Field Representative 216.252-7773 ext. 2 there are about 1.4 million undocumented immigrants currently living in Spain. The Spanish government expects to grant another 400,000 residence permits to children and close relatives of undocumented workers joining the amnesty, Minister Caldera said during a visit to one of the social security offices that remained open until 9 p.m. Saturday. Undocumented workers from Ecuador led the amnesty pool with more than 21 percent of total applications, followed by immigrants from Romania, Morocco, and Colombia, according to official statistics. More than 42 percent of total applications were from female workers. Among the amnesty’s requirements, applicants had to show that they don’t have criminal records and that they have been listed on municipal registries since at least August. In Spain, municipal records are used by immigrants for healthcare eligibility. Editor’s Note: Rico de La Prensa contributed to this report. Culturas Publications, Inc., d.b.a.

The immigration measures are part of a bill to pay for continuing military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Still unresolved was how much more money to spend on border security. Congressional aides, speaking on condition of anonymity, said negotiators are still apart on provisions that would devote $4 million each to a Fire Science Academy in Elko, Nev., and environment cleanup of a former Energy Department site in New Mexico. Also in dispute was about $600 million in the Senate version of the bill to hire 1,000 new border patrol officers and other immigration agents and provide 2,000 new beds for detainees. Tentative deals have been reached to provide roughly $75 billion for defense-related costs and construction of a new U.S. embassy in Baghdad. The legislation won’t be final until the House and Senate vote on it. The House could take it up later this week but the Senate won’t vote until after it reconvenes May 9. The immigration restrictions have White House backing and could help President Bush win support WASHINGTON (AP): Two former presidential Cabinet members, including a former Michigan senator, and a 9/11 Commission leader will head a panel formed to build a national consensus on how to deal with immigration issues. The panel was created by the Migration Policy Institute, a Washington think tank. The leaders include former Michigan Sen. Spencer Abraham, who was Energy Secretary during President Bush’s first term and now a fellow at the Hoover Institution. Also on the panel is Lee Hamilton, who served as for a temporary worker program that he has said should include illegal immigrants already in the country. House Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., had pressed for the restrictions, saying they would enhance border security and were needed independent of other immigration reforms. Governors and state motor vehicle departments had opposed the driver’s license provisions as too costly. They also complained state motor vehicle officials will be forced to take on the role of immigration officers. Civil liberties and gun rights supporters opposed the measure on privacy grounds, saying they fear driver’s licenses will evolve into a national identification card. Under the legislation, U.S.-Americans applying for driver’s licenses will have to bring far more information with them to motor vehicle offices. They will be asked to show birth certificates, a photo ID, proof of their Social Security number and a document with full name and home address, according to a copy of the bill obtained by The Associated Press. It was unclear how the legislation would affect the renewal of licenses for citizens. Motor vehicle departments will be required to verify the documents and the Social Security numbers. States still could give licenses to illegal immigrants, but they would have different designs or colors to alert security officers that they are unacceptable as IDs for boarding planes or entering federal buildings. States will have three years after the bill becomes law to meet the standards or their driver’s licenses won’t be accepted by federal officers for identification. All but one of the 19 hijackers in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks had some form of U.S. identification, some of it fraudulent, the Sept. 11 Commission found. The commission recommended the federal government set standards for birth certificates and other identification documents, including driver’s licenses. Provisions that would make it easier for judges to reject asylum claims and force asylum applicants to meet a higher standard of proof also survived negotiations. However, Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., persuaded colleagues to restore appeal opportunities for asylum seekers and to limit judges’ discretion to reject an asylum claim based solely on the applicant’s credibility or demeanor. The asylum proposals have drawn heavy criticism from Democrats, some Republicans and several religious and human rights groups. Those groups—including the Southern Baptist Convention and churches in Bush’s boyhood hometown of Midland, Texas—fear the proposals could hurt people fleeing religious persecution. Negotiators also accepted a House proposal to allow the Homeland Security secretary to bypass U.S. laws to build border barriers, including the remainder of a fence on the California-Mexico border. The bill is H.R. 1268. vice chairman of the 9/11 Commission. The former House member from Indiana now is director of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington. Doris Meissner, former Immigration and Naturalization commissioner, will direct the panel. “As a nation, we need to build a broader public consensus on how to reform our immigration system, because the status quo encourages lawlessness, exploitation and economic distortions,” said Meissner, a senior fellow at the Migration Policy Institute. The panel will hold four meetings, with the first sched- uled for May 17, and issue a report. Meissner said the panel won’t issue recommendations but will issue a final report. Abraham was narrowly defeated by Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., in 2000 and then served as U.S. Energy secretary in the Bush administration. He left the administration early this year and now serves as a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution, a public policy center at Stanford University. Abraham’s wife, Jane Abraham, is exploring a potential campaign for his old Senate seat next year.

Mitch Daniels on Latino issues. Daniels announced Wednesday that he has appointed Juana Watson of Columbus to the newly created post in the governor’s office of senior adviser for Latino affairs. Watson will advise the governor on policy issues and work with the Hispanic community to improve access to needed services and bridge the cultural gap faced by immigrants. Daniels said Watson would serve as “an ambassador and point of contact for our growing—and important—Hispanic community.” Watson has founded two community centers—one in her Mexican hometown, Calnali, and “Su Casa Columbus” in her adopted Indiana hometown. She also created a not-for-profit program called Badges Without Borders that teaches police and firefighters how to communicate with Hispanics in crisis situations. Watson said she would work to break down misconceptions and improve understanding between Hispanics, particularly immigrants, and other Hoosiers. “Sometimes, Latinos feel they’re not part of this country,” she said. The number of Latinos living in Indiana jumped by nearly 12 percent between 2000 and 2003, and some of the greatest increases were in rural counties that a generation ago were nearly all white, according to Census Bureau estimates released in September.

Schneider responded that the children of rape or incest victims could be adopted. “For me, I’m a very conservative Republican. I represent a very conservative district and I believe I represent it well,” she said.

May/mayo 11, 2005 Sales booming for south of the border cervezas By LYNN BREZOSKY Associated Press Writer SOUTHPADREISLAND, Texas (AP): Few Americans can tell you about the 1862 battle commemorated Thursday on the Mexican holiday Cinco de Mayo. But they’ll probably have no problem thinking of a Mexican beer to help their southern neighbors celebrate with. Whether the blockbuster Corona or emerging brands like Dos Equis, Tecate or Modelo, it’s a familiarity that hasn’t been lost on economists. While the jury’s still out on the overall effects of relaxing tariffs under 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement, Mexican beer has clearly been a winner. Grupo Modelo’s Corona ranks seventh in U.S. beer shipments, long outranking Heineken as America’s top imported beer. And Modelo has been increasing its exports to the United States at a rate of 30 percent a year. Fomento Economico Mexicano SA, Mexico’s other main beer company, is gaining market share with brands including Dos Equis, Tecate and Bohemia. During the past decade, yearly U.S. malt beverage imports from Mexico rose from $36 million to $162 million. Beer and tequila make up 22 percent of Mexico’s $1.5 billion in food exports to the United States, and the breweries now employ 88,000 people in 11 Mexican states. Analysts attribute the success to strategic pre-NAFTA alliances with U.S. beer giants and marketing genius that seems to promise a Mexican beach in each lime-en- hanced sip. “Like everything, it started out with lack of availability, that right there gives it cachet,” said Juli Niemann of RT Jones Capital Management in St. Louis. “When you get better availability, then it becomes largely a marketing thing. Corona—who do you have marketing it? Jimmy Buffett.” Considered a working-class beer in Mexico, Corona for Americans and other foreigners was something largely experienced on vacation. Like leading American brews, it is pale and served cold, a summertime beer. In anticipation of the beers entering the U.S. market without import taxes, Budweiser maker Anheuser Busch Cos. in 1993 invested heavily in Grupo Modelo, essentially buying into the competition. That not only gave Modelo access to Anheuser Busch’s U.S. marketing and distribution know-how, but also to huge infusions of capital, said Marc Scheinman, a professor of international marketing at Pace University. Fomento Economico Mexicano SA developed a similar agreement with Belgium’s Interbrew, but last year announced it would instead align itself with Dutch Brewer Heineken. Meanwhile, the wave of immigration from the south and the population growth of Latinos in the U.S. has made for a growing awareness of all things Latino. The timing has been right for South of the Border beers to take off, Scheinman said. “Latin beer is hot,” he said. “Tequila is hot, beer is hot.” Fariborz Ghadar, director of the center for global business studies at Pennsylvania State University, agreed. “Mexican beers started by being a niche player, but have really begun to grow and become a pretty dominant position in the marketplace,” he said. “What you’re going to see in the United States is really sort of a shift ... to be more conscious of what is Spanish and what is Mexican.” As they enjoyed bottles of Dos Equis at a bayside bar on South Padre Island, Le May, 42, and Belinda Morgan of San Antonio, 34, said they liked the taste, and the vacation-time feeling, the beer delivered. “When they play Tejano music and you’re drinking it you kind of feel in the spirit, like you’re almost in México,” May said, remembering his teen-age jaunts across the border. “If you’d knocked me on the head I’d wake up amd think I was in México,” Morgan said. And it’s not just U.S.Americans who are buying into the fantasy. At the same bar, three temporary workers at a nearby port, all originally from the United Kingdom, reveled in their shrimp and Coronas and said Europeans were paying up to $7 a bottle. “It’s trendy,” 38-year-old Shaun Flower said.

Las Chivas de Guadalajara superaron el jueves 3-1 al Cobreloa, en un encuentro que definió el primer lugar del Grupo 7. Con la derrota, Cobreloa quedó en tercer lugar y eliminado. Por su parte, el campeón defensor de la Libertadores, el colombiano Once Caldas, superó 1-0 a San Lorenzo, en partido que cerró la última fecha del grupo y definió las posiciones. Guadalajara fue líder con 11 puntos, le siguió Once Caldas con nueve unidades, mientras que Cobreloa se quedó con ocho y San Lorenzo fue colero con tres. Al estar eliminado desde fechas atrás, San Lorenzo envió ante los colombianos a un equipo de suplentes. “Me voy triste por el resultado de hoy porque no esperaba perder así y decepcionado por la actitud del equipo San Lorenzo al presentar un plantel no competitivo y entregar el partido, sin profesionalismo”, dijo en los camerinos del estadio Jalisco, Gerardo Mella, presidente de Cobreloa. Mella comentó que Cobreloa nunca pudo “contrarrestar la velocidad de las Chivas”. “Nos ganó un buen equipo. Da un poco de tristeza, pero hay que reconocer que Chivas fue mejor que nosotros”, dijo Nelson Acosta, técnico de Cobreloa. “Es lamentable por lo que veníamos haciendo, porque hicimos buenos partidos en la Copa, como es lamentable lo que hizo San Lorenzo en su partido”, comentó el defensa de Cobreloa, el colombiano Sergio Vargas. “Fue importante no desesperarnos y saber esperar a que cayera el primer gol y después coronarlo una buena victoria”, dijo Benjamín Galindo, entrenador de las Chivas. “Estoy contento con el trabajo, el equipo sabía de la responsabilidad que teníamos y cumplimos”, agregó Galindo. Las Chivas se unió a los Tigres de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León y al Pachuca, como los equipos mexicanos clasificados a la segunda fase del certamen. Tigres ganó la punta del Grupo 6 con 12 puntos, mientras que Pachuca fue segundo lugar del Grupo 8, con 10 unidades. Boca Juniors de Argentina fue primero con 13 puntos. “ !Ya!” dice la primera plana del diario Récord. “Avanzan los tres equipos mexicanos. Chivas es el tercer clasificado a octavos de final de la Libertadores y pasa como líder del Grupo”, agrega. “Pasan Todos”, dice la portada de Esto, mientras que El Universal dice: “Chivas, sin... despeinarse”.

Rayos 3-3 (Winners/Ties in Bold) Gama on the move versus Tri de México Seis equipos se disputan tres cupos para la liguilla MEXICO (AP): Mientras Morelia, Cruz Azul, Monterrey, Tecos y América ya tienen sus cupos asegurados en la liguilla del torneo de Clausura del fútbol mexicano, seis conjuntos más buscarán el domingo ganar los últimos tres boletos para los cuartos de final o por lo menos asegurarse una repesca. Para no dar ventaja a ningún aspirante a la siguiente fase del certamen, la federación local programó todos los encuentros de la 17 y última fecha del torneo a la misma hora del domingo. Todos los partidos se disputarán a las 12.00 horas local (17.00 GMT). Entre los aspirantes para avanzar a los cuartos de final están: Santos Laguna, Guadalajara, Necaxa, Tigres, Toluca y Dorados. De estos equipos, Santos, Necaxa y Tigres necesitan del triunfo para asegurar avanzar, mientras que los otros tres necesitan la victoria y resultados favorables en otros partidos para aspirar a seguir en el torneo. Los bicampeones Pumas de la UNAM es uno de los siete equipos que ya no tienen ninguna posibilidad por avanzar. Los otros eliminados son Atlante, Puebla, Atlas, Pachuca, Chiapas y Veracruz. Además de los equipos que buscan conseguir los boletos para avanzar a la liguilla, el interés de la última jornada Woodville Road Barber Shop también estará en la definición por saber qué conjunto será el de mayor rendimiento. Cruz Azul fue líder del torneo desde la primera fecha hasta la 15, pero Morelia aprovechó que en la jornada 16 el equipo azul cayó ante el América y lo desplazó de la punta general. Morelia es puntero del Grupo 1 con 32 puntos, Cruz Azul es primero del Grupo 2 con 31 unidades y Monterrey domina el Grupo 3 con 27 puntos. Según el reglamento, los dos primeros de cada grupo avanzan a los cuartos de final, más los dos mejores terceros de los tres grupos. Si algún cuarto lugar tiene mejor puntuación que un tercero, se disputará un encuentro de repesca por el octavo sitio de los cuartos de final. Un ingrediente más para la última fecha será la definición del título de goleo, el cual es peleado por el argentino Matías Vuoso y el mexicano Omar Bravo. Vuoso, del Santos Laguna, cuenta con 13 goles y Bravo tiene 12. El brasileño Kléber Boas, del América, suma once goles. El chileno Sebastián González, del Atlante y el argentino Walter Gaitán, de los Tigres, tienen diez tantos cada uno.

Rosado, a sociologist by trade, is a gifted speaker, enamored with the importance of education for youth, especially Latinos. On May 9th, Rosado also spoke at the Noche Para Los Padres, where he addressed some 60 parents of many of the youth that would be in attendance at the Summit. Rosado told the parents, “Don’t be fooled by numbers. While Latinos are the largest and fasted growing minority group in the United States, they fall way behind in higher education attendance. Many drop out of high school—sometimes as high as 60 percent. This can not be tolerated.” Rosado compared the stats of Asians with those of Latinos. “Why is it,” said Rosado, “do Asians have such a high achievement rate Dr. Caleb Rosado in the United States compared to Latinos? “Asians have many of the same problems such as language barriers, recent arrival, and so forth, and yet they excel in education.” Rosado stated that the following factors contributed to this Asian accomplishments: • History of group study and parental support, honoring education in the home. “You don’t see Asians watching television at night, but studying,” stressed Rosado, who made it clear that he was angered by what he had seen in many Latino homes, where education played a minor role. • Longterm achievement as opposed to short term focus. Rosado stated that society was now informational as opposed to agrarian or industrial, with the need to have highly skilled education in the digital, global economy. “We need to take these Asian values and apply them to our Latino youth or suffer the longterm consequences,” concluded Rosado. 10th Annual Art Contest Toledo: On Saturday, May 7th, the reception for the 10th Annual Latino High School/Jr. High Art Show was held at the South Branch Library.

Miguel Contreras, head of labor federation, dead at 52 (AP): Miguel Contreras, a son of farmworkers who helped revive Southern California’s unions as head of the politically powerful Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, died of a heart attack May 6 in LA. He was 52. Contreras, whose political clout extended from City Hall to Sacramento and beyond, was credited with bringing the 345-local unions in the federation together in recent years to more effectively organize workers and pressure employers. “Miguel was a true genius of the labor movement,” said Cheryl Parisi, head of the Southern California district council for American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees. “He was a man who came from very humble beginnings and developed— through his experience with his father organizing the United Farm Workers (UFW)—great courage, great intelligence, and a wonderful way with people.’’ Tyrone Freeman, president of Service Employees International Union Local 434B, said Contreras died of a heart attack. He declined further comment, saying late Friday that he was at a hospital with Contreras’ wife, Maria Elena Durazo, leader of Local 11 for the large hotel and restaurant workers union Unite Here. Janice Wood, a county public works commissioner, said Contreras had missed several events in recent weeks because he had been ill. Her husband Jim led the federation until his death in 1996, when Contreras assumed leadership. Contreras was known as a kingmaker for both local and state politicians, and the labor federation had endorsed Hahn in his current mayoral campaign. The association is regarded as the most influential political machine in Southern California. The son of farmworkers, Contreras began working in the fields of the Central Valley outside Dinuba at age 5. By 17, he was handing out grape boycott leaflets at grocery stores during the famous UFW campaign. He eventually became a strike captain and was dispatched by legendarylaborleaderCésarChávez to Toronto. He worked with unions in Salinas and San Francisco before the international Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Union recruited him as a national organizer, taking him to Los Angeles in the late 1980s. He told the Los Angeles Times in a March profile that working with Chávez transformed him. “Mexican farmworkers were seen as nothing more than agricultural implements, to be used and discarded like you would discard an old shovel or an old hoe,” Contreras said. “He gave us a feeling of real self-worth and a feeling of breaking away those imaginary shackles you had to the grower and standing up for yourself.” Contreras was not satisfied with his accomplishments, telling the Times that he hoped for one more political success. “I have one desire left, one thing I want to accomplish: to help take someone to the White House,” he said. In addition to his wife, Contreras is survived by two sons, Michael and Mario. • A Mexican Epicurean’s Delight: El Camino Real • Honest Homemade Mexican Food • El Camino Real • 419.472.0700 • La Prensa May/mayo 11, 2005 México’s finance ministry: Economy grew about 3 percent Airing this week on Voces Latinas: Festival de Orquestas de Barranquilla, Colombia, Part II. Voces Latinas “Videos Calientes” Page 13 Channel 69 Thursday 9PM and Sunday 1PM Toledo, OH MÉXICO CITY (AP): México’s Finance Ministry said the economy grew about 3 percent in the first quarter, compared with the same period last year, with growth slowed by the Easter holidays falling in March. In a report on first-quarter public finances, the ministry said the quarter had five fewer working days than in the same 2004 period. The Easter holiday, which leads to declines in produc- tion, was in April last year. Alejandro Werner, head of economic planning at the ministry, said at a news conference Monday that by stripping out the effect of Easter, growth would have been about 4 percent year-on-year in the quarter. Gross domestic product, which measures total output of goods and services, grew 4.4 percent in 2004, including 4.9 percent in the fourth quarter. Werner said the firstquarter result was “very much in line with the 3.8 percent economic growth” that the government is projecting for 2005. The Finance Ministry said growth in the quarter was boosted by domestic demand as 103,399 jobs were created in the formal economy, and bank credit to the private sector expanded 30 percent from a year earlier.

Latino business groups are pushing hard for approval of the Central American Free Trade Agreement, or CAFTA, the most consequential trade deal since the U.S.-CanadaMexico NAFTA agreement of a decade ago. They say it will open up new markets for American exporters and provide economic and political stability to a region with close ties to many Latino Americans. But many Latino labor, human rights and immigration groups, as well as some Latinos in Congress, are working equally hard to see it defeated. “There should be a CAFTA, just not this CAFTA,” said congressman Xavier Becerra, a California Democrat, who worries the agreement will worsen the rich-poor divide, both between the United States and the region and within the participating nations— Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic. A United States House of Representatives vote on CAFTA could come as early as this month, depending on whether the Republican leadership can find the votes to prevail. House Democrats, including the 19 Latinos, are generally unhappy with labor and environmental provisions in the agreement that they say will do little to correct abuses. The four voting Republican Latinos are more likely to support U.S. Congressional aide Theresa Morris with FLOC’s Beatriz Maya, FLOC’s Pablo Jiménez, and Diputado Victor Suárez Carrera. the deal, although three are Supporters talk about from Florida, where the evening the playing field, sugar industry is mounting said Gabriela Lemus, a vocal campaign against it. director of policy for the Henry Cuellar of Texas, the League of United Latin only Latino Democrat to American Citizens announce his support for the (LULAC), the nation’s oldest agreement, said he was Latino organization.

May/mayo 11, 2005 As part of his tour, Suárez visited the headquarters of the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC). He was greeted by its president, Baldemar Velásquez, who had just come back from a rally in Washington D.C., urging legislators to amend many of the provisions in NAFTA, which, according to Velásquez, Suárez, and Kaptur, has had a devastating impact on farmworkers and blue collar workers alike, in both México and the United States. Velásquez had also urged the legislators to legalize the millions of migrantworkers, currently living in the United States. U.S. President George W. Bush has urged Congress to pass legislation allowing guestworkers to live and work in the United States legally for a period of time, but neglects to provide for the eventual citizenship or legalization of these workers, the majority of whom are Latinos. According to Suárez, with NAFTA, more than 2 million jobs have been lost in Mexico’s countryside, along with about 1 million in the manufacturing sector—the loss of jobs translates into more Mexicans risking their lives to find work in the United States. CAFTA would have the same negative impact. Suárez later spoke at Lourdes College in Sylvania, expressing many of his concerns about CAFTA and NAFTA.

Los dolientes continúan llegando a la tumba de Juan Pablo, situada cerca de la tumba que según tradición ocupa el apóstol Pedro, el primer Papa, desde que fue abierta luego de sus funerales el 8 de abril. Bush: EEUU y México miran el futuro con confianza Por NESTOR IKEDA WASHINGTON (AP): El presidente George W. Bush declaró el miércoles por la noche que Estados Unidos y México “miran el futuro con confianza” sobre la base de una “cálida y creciente amistad”. El comentario fue formulado durante un brindis ante unas 200 personas reunidas en el Jardín de las Rosas de la Casa Blanca con motivo del Cinco de Mayo, la efemérides de la batalla de Puebla en que el ejército mexicano derrotó al francés en 1862. Como en anteriores ocasiones, Bush insertó en su discurso algunas palabras en español, pero a diferencia del pasado este año se celebró por la noche en vez de la tarde, no hubo mayor referencia a México y se hizo el 4 de mayo. Bush, en un tono informal, dijo que le gustaba celebrar el 5 de Mayo porque le permitía practicar un poco su español. “Mi único problema este año es que he programado la cena para el cuatro de mayo”, declaró. “El próximo año voy a tener que mejorar mi cálculo”. En el espectáculo musical participaron los cantantes Christian Castro y Jaci Velásquez, así como el grupo Mariachis Sol de México. Bush dijo que los estadounidenses de origen mexicano están “fortaleciendo nuestro país con su patriotismo y servicio” y que miles de ellos han sacrificado sus vidas en aras de la libertad en los servicios armados. Más de 8.700 hombres y mujeres nacidos en México “lucen ahora el informe militar de los Estados Unidos”, declaró con una dedicación que hace “un Estados Unidos más seguro y un mundo más seguro”. Bush hizo el brindis antes de una cena flanqueado por los mariachis y frente a los asistentes, entre los cuales figuraban dirigentes mexico-estadounidenses y funcionarios de origen hispano de su gobierno, entre ellos los secretarios de Comercio Carlos Gutiérrez y Justicia Alberto Gonzáles. El presidente hizo incluso una broma con Eduardo Aguirre, director de los servicios de ciudadanía e inmigración del Departamento de Seguridad Interior. “Esto tipos quieren conocerte, Eduardo”, le dijo a Aguirre haciendo notar la imponente presencia de los mariachis. Aguirre cambiará, sin embargo, de empleo en cuanto sea confirmado por el Senado como nuevo embajador de Estados Unidos en España.
