Although Konop finds himself, even as a congressional candidate, as the lowest Democratic candidate on the ballot, he believes that the momentum generated by his candidacy has burgeoned to the point where he is now carrying presidential candidate John Kerry on his coattails. Key to Konop’s continued success is a number of debates with his opponent. One of the debates, to be held in Lima on Oct. 27, will be televised live. Konop said his opponent only agreed to the debate after noting the closeness of the numbers in the polls. Born in Ottawa Hills and educated in the public school system, Konop practiced law in Washington, D.C. for three years before deciding to return to Ohio to challenge Oxley. He received his undergraduate degree from Emory University in Atlanta and attended Oxford University in England. He served as a Page in the House of Representatives and has worked for Northern Ohio Federal District Court Judge James Carr and Ohio Common Pleas Court Judge Fred McDonald.

This year TV talking heads speculated whether Barack Obama of Illinois may someday become the first person of color elected President, but in 1960 there was prejudice against a Catholic candidate and some used this to obscure the real issues in the campaign. Kennedy had to respond to this and did so at a minister’s convention in Houston. He said, “I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute—where no Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote—where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference….” Kennedy went on to say he believed in a country without an official religion, one of the fundamental differences between the U.S. and countries founded earlier, and one “where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials.” What a long way we’ve come—but in which direction?—reaching 2004 when a Catholic Senator from Massachusetts is again the Democratic candidate for president. Today, the prejudice against Kerry is not so much from anti-Catholics but from the Bishops of the Catholic Church itself. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has come out strong against Kerry’s support for a woman’s right to choose. Some bishops have even declared that Catholic parishioners who vote for a pro-choice candidate will have to go to confession before receiving Communion. What the Bishops ignore is the stand of Kerry, and other Catholic politicians, on a broad range of issues important to the Catholic Church. Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois released a study, which showed that John Kerry’s Senate record agreed with the Bishops position on issues 60% of the time, the highest in the Senate. One of the issues Catholic voters should look at is whether Kerry’s high marks on a long list of issues is more important than a single—however important—issue. If Kerry stands with you on more issues than he disagrees with you on, and Bush is attacking you on everything (except one thing) that is important to you, who should you vote for? Another thing we should all look at is the shift in view on the relationship of government to religious institutions. Kennedy wanted to protect the First Amendment and its separation of church and state. Bush has broken that down by granting public funds to religious institutions. Kennedy wanted no religious organization to push its issues on the government and general population. Bush owes much to an energetic base that wants to exert religious control over government. This November the voters will decide which direction our country will go. John Martínez UAW Local 22, Michigan Latino groups call for destruction of the Terminator’s movies Latino activists on Tuesday promised to “punish” California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger—the Terminator—for his veto of legislation that would have allowed illegal immigrants to obtain drivers licenses. For their campaign, part of a broader effort to target Schwarzenegger, the rally organizers solicited the donation of movies the former actor starred in—so they can be ceremonially destroyed. Last month, Schwarzenegger vetoed a bill that would have let up to two million immigrants drive legally. The legislation’s supporters vowed to go after the governor. Schwarzenegger has said the bill ignored his requirement of key security safeguards—an identifying mark that would differentiate them from licenses held by U.S. citizens and legal residents. Leaders of Latino Move- ment USA, a pro-immigrant group which led Tuesday’s rally of several dozen people, want to galvanize a statewide movement. “We’re going to make clear that while the Latino community has long been passive, the time has come to fight back,” rally coordinator Juan José Gutiérrez said. The group wants to collect enough DVDs and video cassettes for a symbolic destruction in December. La Prensa Lorain & Cleveland Staff Roberta M.

The decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a Bush administration regulation and could affect thousands of immigrant families in which one or both parents had become legal U.S. residents and applied for the same status for their children living abroad. Under a law passed in 2000, children of legal residents, who had been waiting for at least three years for a visa outside of the United States, could get a temporary visa while waiting for a ruling on their permanent application. The law did not specify what would happen to the children after they turned 21, but Judge James Browning wrote for the unanimous three-judge panel that the purpose of the law was “to reunite families of immigrants petitioning for permanent residency until the petitioner’s visa number Political Piñata comes up.” The ruling resulted from a Southern California case of two Filipinos who entered with temporary visas shortly before turning 21 and were ordered to leave almost immediately. The ruling only applies to children whose parents applied for visas for them by December 2000. The government had no immediate comment. Migrant workers sue Ottawa County blueberry grower over conditions GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP), Oct. 2: Some migrant workers have sued an Ottawa County blueberry grower, claiming they were paid less than minimum wage, didn’t get paid for all their hours and were denied clean water and adequate rest rooms. The Michigan Migrant Legal Assistance Project is seeking class-action status for the lawsuit, which was filed Friday in federal court. If approved for classaction status, more than 3,000 people who worked at Brady Farms from 19992004 could be eligible for compensation. “We see this as a pattern,” lawyer Robert Alvarez told The Grand Rapids Press. “The grower knows or should know what happens at every level of their operation.” An attorney for the farm, Elizabeth Skaggs, said she had not seen the lawsuit and could not comment. Alvarez said the legal group earlier this year settled a lawsuit on behalf of 43 workers for $63,000. The latest complaint names owner Robert Brady, two managers and several people who recruited blueberry pickers. Alvarez said the workers were not required to fill out federal payroll forms and generally were paid in cash. The lawsuit says wages were reduced by amounts owed to crew leaders for housing, which brought the pay below minimum wage. Some of the two dozen workers who have signed up as plaintiffs said conditions in the fields were miserable. “Sometimes the bathroom was so far that it took a half-hour to walk there, and then you had to get in line because it was the only toilet,” said Esperanza Matta, 21. Leticia Infante, 22, said she knew toiling in the fields wasn’t easy, but she expected better treatment. “They didn’t have water or soap to wash our hands,” she said. “People had to (urinate) between the plants.” On the Net: Michigan Migrant Legal Assistance Project:http:// www.mmlap.com.

Esto se puede decir de Diamar Cordero. Su padre y hermano son barberos y su hermana es cosmetóloga. ¿Que remedio tenia Diamar? Ella recién gano su certificado de gerencia en cosmetología y tiene puesto de maestra en la escuela de donde se graduó. Y esto lo hace mientras cuida de su familia, esposo Edgardo y dos nenes varones. También ella trabaja en el salón de belleza Beauty Spot en el vecindario de Cleveland, Kamms Corners. Otra parte del destino consiste de superar los obstáculos que se encuentran y desarrollar buenas amistades. Su familia tuvo que mudarse de la capital de la Republica Dominica cuando Diamar tenia solo siente años. La economía había empeorado y la familia perdió todo. Un amigo familiar le invito empezar de nuevo en la isla caribeña de San Martín. Diamar dice que él era el primer barbero profesional en esa isla pequeña. Después de vivir en San Martín por un tiempo Diamar vino a Cleveland. Un hermano vivía allí y trabajaba instalando teléfonos y cable par computadoras. A Diamar le gusto el ambiente y decidió quedarse. Antes de cumplir los 18 años en 1994 Diamar se graduó de escuela superior y se fue a vivir en Nueva York con su hermano. Ya para octubre de 1995 había regresado a Cleveland. No le había gustado el ambiente de Nueva York. El destino le guardaba una sorpresa. Mientras disfrutaba del ambiente de las fiestas patronales de la iglesia católica San Rocco se encontró por primera vez con se caso. Él es su primer y único novio. Desde el principio de su vida conyugal él la ha apoyado en todo. Diamar tiene amistad especial con Sandi Papcum actual dueña de Beauty Spot. Sandi asistió a la escuela de cosmetología con Diamar y allí se hicieron buenas amigas. Al contraste con su amiga Sandi se crió en Cleveland y regreso a estudiar cosmetología después de cumplir un bachillerato universitario y tener otra carrera. Después de que ambos padres fallecieron Sandi sintió una necesidad de cambiar su manera de vivir. Al hacerse cosmetóloga Sandi trabajo para una cadena de salones de recorte de pelo. Pero al poco tiempo noto un anuncio que había un salón de belleza en venta. Lo compró e invitó a su amiga Diamar a venir a trabajar con ella. Ambos han trabajado mucho a cambiar la imagen de Beauty Spot de salón solo para doñitas a un sitio donde todas las edades y culturas son bienvenidas. Han creado un ambiente donde todos los miembros de una familia se sienten cómodos, hasta los hombres vienen a recortarse. Sandi dice que su meta es tener un salón de alta calidad con precios razonables. Sandi y Diamar han creado actividades especiales que raras veces se ven en los salones de Cleveland. Tienen días de fotos de belleza (Beauty Shots) cuando mujeres vienen a prepararse y tomar fotos “sexy”. También han tenido fiestas de belleza para los partidos de la novia el día antes de la boda. Aun Diamar tiene metas para su futuro. Quiere se cosmetóloga a las estrellas de música, televisión o el cine. Quiere diseñar joyería. Quiere ayudar a las español—parlantes recibir su educación en cosmetología y pasar el examen. El examen de cosmetología solo lo dan en inglés, ella quiere que el estado permita darlo en español. Con todo su animo y con el apoyo de su familia y amistades serán muchas las metas que esta talentosa latina llegara a cumplir. Vote November 2nd!

El profesor de antropología y paleontología revisaba su colección un día cuando notó algo que le llamó la atención: una protuberancia ósea frontal decolorada por minerales y un trozo de mandíbula que no coincidía con la de ningún cráneo moderno. Pero Solórzano halló una coincidencia perfecta cuando comparó la primera de las dos piezas con un modelo del Hombre de Tautavel del Viejo Mundo, miembro de una especie–Homo erectus—que muchos consideran antepasado del moderno Homo sapiens. Pero se cree que el Homo erectus se extinguió hace 100.000 a 200.000 años, decenas de miles de años antes de que se supusiera la presencia de seres humanos en el continente americano. Y los arqueólogos nunca hallaron vestigios del Homo erectus en las Américas. “La mayoría se mostró escéptica y desconcertada”, dijo Robson Bonnichsen, director del Centro para el Estudio de los Primeros Americanos en la Universidad A&M de Texas. “Eso no significa que no sea real. Significa que no hay ninguna evidencia comparativa”. El hallazgo de Solórzano fue detallado en una conferencia en septiembre aquí que atrajo académicos del continente y de Europa. Esa pieza ósea primitiva del Lago Chapala “es única”, dijo Bonnichsen. Es tan singular —y fuera de contexto— que ha sido mayormente ignorada mientras otros descubrimientos plantean cuestiones básicas sobre el origen de los seres humanos en nuestro continente: cuándo llegaron y de dónde. Hasta hace poco, la mayoría de los arqueólogos en Estados Unidos creía que los primeros seres humanos llegaron al continente americano hace unos 13.500 años cuando se abrió un corredor terrestre temporal en el Estrecho de Bering. El pueblo migrante Clovis—llamado así por un lugar cerca de Clovis, en Nuevo México—al parecer cazaba mamuts y otros grandes animales, dejando esparcidas puntas de flecha finamente trabajadas y otras herramientas en partes de América del Norte y, según algunos, en Sudamérica.

The same can be said for the state of Michigan, where over 700,000 Latinos live. ★ ★ ★ LEO: (July 24- August 23) The inherent fatalism that seems to follow you around may stifle any positive attitudes needed for you to get ahead. Your strength lies in your ability to move forward, so you need to work on gaining control over your negative thoughts.

We have no visuals to help us so we have to put everything we have into the vocals.” Amanda, 22, puts on a convincing performance on her debut self-titled CD on the Universal Records label. The first single, “Devuélveme la Vida,” has been getting airplay on Tejano and Latin pop stations. “Devuélveme la Vida” has the familiar you-neverloved-or-appreciated-me sentiment. Amanda conveys the pain of realizing too late one’s love and devotion has gone to someone who was never really serious. As Amanda sees it, a good singer is like a good actor. “It (singing) is like acting but it’s tougher. You (singer) have to play the role but on the record, you only have your voice. We have no facial expressions, body language or costuming to help us. “The key is to dig deep to find that emotion that will help the listener catch on to the story or feel the pain, or remember when they went through the same emotion.” Amanda has clear distinctive vocals, recalling the dulcet tones of Alicia Villarreal. But Amanda can also belt out the pain of torchy heartbreakers such as “Si te Vas,” where she contemplates a future without that special someone. “We did that song in a minor key so naturally the tone is dramatic and very sad. The theme is about that someone who is leaving you and you know they will always remain in your heart. It is a difficult situation that I think people can relate to.” Amanda is also a songwriter who’s been writing since she was 16. She wrote or co-wrote 10 of the 13 tracks on the album. Her songwriting partners included Yasmil Marrufo and Marc Durandeau, who have written and produced No. 1 singles for Ricky Martin and Chayanne. On “Hoy,” the new single to be released next week, Amanda takes the stance of an independent woman who tells her wayward lout of a boyfriend to go fly a kite. The mid-tempo tune is fueled by mariachi-style horns. The track was inspired by something that happened while she was recording the album in Miami. “We were beginning work on another song when I got a phone call. It was a disturbing call and it upset me. I felt unappreciated, which is one of the worst feelings anyone can ever have.” Like most songwriters, Amanda used that experience to help her finish the song at home. “It’s the story of loving someone but getting tired of their lies so I wrote, ‘This is the day I wake up and move on without you.’” Despite her youth, Amanda’s strengths are “her amazing voice and her attitude,” said veteran Miamibased producer Rodolfo Castillo, who has worked with Paulina Rubio and Julio Iglesias. “She has a great range as a singer, which is rare among singers. Amanda is a leader when it comes to knowing what she wants. But she is also a follower in the sense that she is open to ideas, and that is very important.” Castillo co-produced the album with Iker Gastaminza, Juan Carlos Rodriguez, Gabriel Candiani and Amanda. “As a new artist, the recording of this album was an immense step forward in my career,” she said. “I wanted to be sure that I was given some creative control and able to truly give the audience a legitimate view of who I am. “I didn’t expect to have as much say as I did but luckily the team I worked with at Universal honestly believed in my talent as a singer/songwriter and allowed me to just let the creative juices flow.” Amanda has been busy in recent weeks. Besides her continuing radio promotional tour, she also performed at the Latin Grammys Street Party in Houston with Alicia Machado, Akwid and Eliseo Robles. She is also the artist of the month at San Antonio’s KXTN-FM, where she is getting medium rotation. She will be in Puerto Rico soon to film the video for “Hoy,” and as a songwriter, she recently signed on with BMG Publishing.

Brian McBride abrió la cuenta a los 29 minutos y Edward Johnson aumentó a los 75 para los estadounidenses. A dos fechas por concluir la ronda, Estados Unidos quedó en la punta del Grupo A de la CONCACAF con ocho puntos; Jamaica y Panamá, que empataron 1-1, sumaron cinco cada uno. El Salvador, con tres, sigue en el sótano sin posibilidades. El partido marcó el debut del técnico salvadoreño Armando Contreras Palma que sustituyó a Juan Ramón Paredes. Dirigidos por el joven volante Víctor Merino, El Salvador mostró un equipo más aguerrido y por momentos puso en apuros a la zaga estadounidense. A los tres minutos, Merino burló la marca de dos defensas, pero su centro fue rechazado. Estados Unidos tuvo la primera oportunidad de anotar a los 12 minutos cuando el volante Clinton Mathis no logró enganchar en el área un centro de DaMarcus Beasley. McBride abrió el marcador a los 29 minutos y enmudeció a unos 20.000 aficionados que asistieron al estadio Cuscatlán de esta capital. McBride anotó tras recibir un pase en corto en el área de Landon Donovan y con tiro cruzado batió al guardameta Misael Alfaro. Las selecciones salieron en el segundo tiempo sin variantes y a penas los tres minutos el guardameta salvadoreño Alfaro logró contener un disparo en corto del delantero Josh Wolff. Johnson consiguió el segundo tanto para Estados Unidos a los 75 y cinco minutos después de haber ingresado en sustitución de McBride. Johnson recibió en corto de Donovan, que burló la salida de Alfaro, y marcó a placer con puerta vacía. El central guatemalteco Carlos Batres mostró tarjetas amarillas al estadounidense Cory Gibbs y los salvadoreños Víctor Merino, Ronald Cerritos, Marvin González y Isaac Zelaya. Gibbs no podrá participar en el partido contra Panamá el miércoles en Washington en la quinta y penúltima fecha del grupo. El Salvador jugará de visitante en Jamaica. Page 7 Mundial: México practicó tiro a gol ante San Vicente MEXICO (AP): México reafirmó ser amplio favorito para ganar el Grupo C de las eliminatorias de la CONCACAF a la Copa Mundial, al apabullar el 7-0 a San Vicente, en un partido que crítica consideró más bien como una «práctica de tiro». Los mexicanos suman dos triunfos en igual número de partidos disputados en el grupo. En su primer encuentro superaron de visita 3-1 a Trinidad y Tobago. México encabeza el grupo con seis puntos y con diez goles a favor y uno en contra. Trinidad y Tobago también tiene seis unidades, pero en tres encuentros. San Vicente, que también ya jugó tres partidos, tiene tres puntos. El grupo lo completa St. Kitts, sin puntos en dos encuentros. «Cascarita (práctica): 7-0», dice el titular de Excelsior, quien también comenta que el tricolor «tuvo para hacer muchos goles más». «Luce (Cuauhtémoc) Blanco genial y (Jared) Borgetti goleador, ante el indefenso San Vicente», comenta el diario Reforma, quien en su titular de su pagina deportiva dice: «Práctica de tiro». Borgetti anotó cuatro goles, Jaime Lozano hizo otro par y cerró la cuenta Sergio Santana, pero el que se lució fue Cuauhtémoc Blanco, estelar delantero que no vestía la camiseta de México desde hace 20 meses. Blanco brilló con sus pases e incluso cedió un balón de taquito para que Lozano marcara el tercer tanto de la goleada. Blanco, de 31 años, regresó al equipo nacional en «plan grande» y se «brindó como figura», dice Reforma. Por su parte, El Universal comenta que «El Tri tuvo un segundo tiempo abrumador y destrozó a San Vicente». También destaca que los mexicanos batallaron para abrir el marcador y que en el primer tiempo solamente tenían ventaja de 1-0. México viajará para devolver la visita a San Vicente el próximo domingo. Tres días después recibirá en la ciudad de Puebla a St. Kitts. Si México gana sus próximos partidos asegurará una de los dos plazas que adjudica el grupo para avanzar a un hexagonal final donde se repartirán tres plazas a la Copa Mundial Alemania 2006. El cuarto sitio del hexagonal jugará un repechaje contra una selección de Asia. Latin American Treats Galore One Size Does NOT Fit All ...

Él anunció que Lorain County Chamber of Commerce y Team Lorain County formaran un nuevo grupo llamado Lorain County Growth Partnership. Terminó su charla Molina por incluir estadísticas indicando el crecimiento de la comunidad hispana por 55% in Ohio durante la década de las noventas y que Latinos representan mas del 10% de a población combinada de los condados Lorain y Cleveland. El piensa que hay más de 46,000 votantes hispanos en Lorain y Cuyahoga. Tal grandes y crecientes números de hispanos en condados vecinos exige que para haber igualdad durante la planificación acerca del regionalismo, crecimiento inteligente y el desarrollo de centros de compras se debe incluir las perspectivas hispanas de una manera integral. Molina gives reasons for Latino inclusion By Teodosio Feliciano, La Prensa Staff Writer Juan Molina, Lorain County Children and Family Council Executive Di- rector, spoke as part of a panel on diversity and economic development at the Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University on Friday. Molina spoke effectively about cultural solidarity, Great Lakes Innovation & Development Enterprise (GLIDE), Lorain County Partnership, and the meaningful inclusion of the Latino community. In his prepared remarks, he presents the idea that culture helps a group resist social and economic subordination to a dominant majority. He feels that solidarity gives the members of minority groups the confidence to organize and take risks politically and economically. He insists Latinos must use the cultural values of respect and honor in its rise to political importance. Molina also spoke about the private/public partnership of the Lorain County Commissioners, Lorain County Community College, and Lorain County Chamber of Commerce, called GLIDE, which is located on the community college’s campus. The project is designed to help businesses grow either from an idea or for expansion. GLIDE’s services include: business idea assessments, technology and staffing support, access to legal counsel, education, business management mentoring, access to capital, and strategic business guidance. Molina announced that Lorain County Chamber of Commerce and Team Lorain County will form a new group called Lorain County Growth partnership. Molina finished his remarks by including statistics that indicate that the Latino community in Ohio grew by 55% in the 1990s and that Latinos represent more than 10% of the Lorain and Cuyahoga County combined population. He estimates that there are over 46,000 Latino voters in Lorain and Cuyahoga. Such large and growing numbers of Latinos in two neighboring counties demand that equitable planning in regionalism, smart growth and shopping center development must include Latino perspectives in meaningful way.

Lara, after the Estrella Award presentation. Pérez wins Estrella Award at Terra A Spanish radio program host from Findlay was the recipient of the 2004 Estrella Award at Terra Community College. Felipe Pérez was honored last week during an award dinner at the college. The Estrella, Award is given annually to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month. Pérez was born in San Antonio, Texas in 1930 to Gerardo and Carmen Pérez of Coahuila, México. At 15, he became “the man of the house” for his three sisters and mother when his father died. In 1953, Pérez married Herlinda Casiano and two years later, they moved to Ohio where they have lived ever since. They have seven children, 21 grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. With few organized educational opportunities, Pérez taught himself to speak, read, and write in English. He eventually obtained his GED and in 1966, began working for the State of Ohio’s Migrant Rest Center in Liberty Center. At about the same time, Pérez secured an hour or two every weekend on WFIN in Findlay to announce Latino music. Knowing the Latino community in Findlay as he did, he understood their need for a such radio program that would help break down barriers for the Spanish-speaking population. Since 1971, Pérez has been announcing dedications on WFOB in Fostoria on Saturday evenings. Pérez retired from the Migrant Rest Center in 1974 but has continued to be an advocate for the migrant population. A devote Catholic, Pérez was a member of the Guadalupe Society in Findlay for ten years. He received an award last year from the Hispanic Awareness Club of Fostoria for his years of service via the radio to the Latino community. The Estrella award was established to honor an area individual for outstanding character, citizenship and community service. The previous winners of the Estrella Award are: 2000: Narciso Rodríguez, Fremont 2001: Juan Salvador Olalde, Port Clinton 2002: María Guadalupe “Lupe” López (posthumously), Fostoria 2003: Jesus “Jesse” Zambrano, Fremont The keynote speaker for the event was Guadalupe G.

American, the largest U.S. carrier, said the lowestpriced fares require a 14day advance purchase. All the fares require buying a round-trip ticket, and nonrefundable. American said it would not require a minimum stay on any of the fares, available on its web site. The Fort Worth-based airline said the fare on a round trip between Dallas-Fort Worth and Caracas, Venezuela, would cost $956. According to American’s Web site, a similar ticket now would start at about $1,050. The reductions appeared to be similar for business-class seats bought seven or three days in advance. The fares don’t include various taxes and fees of up to $24—higher to some destinations—and seats are limited, the airline said. Cuba se convirtió en el 3er importador de “mediano” producido intención —como la del arroz de EEUU uno en California. jueves— que incluyeron una Por ANDREA RODRIGUEZ LA HABANA (AP): Pese a las restricciones estadounidenses al comercio con Cuba, la isla se convirtió en el tercer país importador de arroz norteamericano luego de México y Japón, indicaron fuentes del sector. La Habana compró este año 100.000 toneladas del grano norteamericano, explicó Pedro Alvarez, presidente de la empresa Alimport, quien firmó el jueves una carta de intención para ampliar sus relaciones con los productores de la vecina nación. Según el ejecutivo, la isla adquiere en total en el exterior cada año unas 550.000 toneladas de arroz, especialmente en Vietnam y China. Dwight Roberts, líder de la Asociación de Productores Arroceros de Estados Unidos, la contraparte en el documento de intención cubano, destacó que si sólo se computa el arroz de “grano largo”, la isla ocupa el segundo lugar, pues Japón consume exclusivamente Breves (Continued from Page 5) concepción de que los Clovis fueron los primeros. La evidencia de lo que pudo haber habido antes sigue siendo escasa, dispersa y controversial. Los arqueólogos han propuesto posibles rutas alternativas al continente—por el Océano Pacífico desde Asia o Australia, por el Atlántico desde Europa o Dafrica—, aunque la mayoría cree que lo más probable es desde el nordeste del Asia, quizás por grupos que se desplazaron a lo largo de una costa helada en pequeñas embarcaciones. Investigadores sudamericanos dicen haber hallado numerosos sitios de 10.000 a 15.000 años de antig Juedad y sostienen que los Clovis no pudieron “Creo que si las relaciones económicas siguen por buen camino, Cuba tiene la potencia de importar más de 500.000 toneladas y llegar a primer puesto”, indicó Roberts. Según las cifras de Alimport, desde el 2001, cuando una enmienda del congreso en Washington eliminó a los productos comestibles de las sanciones, la isla hizo compras por 955 millones de dólares. Considerada una mercancía que no debe ser usada como instrumento de presión política, los alimentos se venden, sin embargo, bajo fuerte condiciones como el pago en contado. Pese a ello al arroz se sumó la adquisición de pollos, huevos, frijoles y hasta chicles. Desde la apertura unas 3.500 compañías contactaron con Alimport, la única empresa cubana comercializadora alimentos, y 1.500 visitaron la isla, comentó Alvarez. Con la mayoría de las delegaciones norteamericanas se rubricaron convenios y en algunos casos cartas de cláusula con el expreso interés de las partes por luchar contra las sanciones estadounidenses a la isla. Calificados como “un acondicionamiento” por sectores políticos anticastristas en la Florida, al menos una empresa, la gigantesca distribuidora de alimentos SYSCO anunció que no operaría más con la isla. “Si SYSCO quiere venir a Cuba tendrá las puertas abiertas”, comentó Alvarez tras indicar que la decisión era “un problema interno” de la empresa norteamericana. “Alimport no acostumbra a presionar a nadie para que firme acuerdos. Sería una falta de lógica pensar que un amigo norteamericano que representa a una gran compañía o un miembro del congreso se deje presionar por un simple empresario”, dijo Alvarez. No se trata de política sino de comercio, indicó Alvarez, pues si no hubiera restricciones contra La Habana, esta tendría más dinero para comprar a Estados Unidos. haber migrado hasta el extremo del continente en Tierra del Fuego, en el extremo sur de Sudamérica, tan pronto después que el corredor libre de hielo se desprendió del Asia hasta Alaska. La arqueóloga argentina Laura Miotti coincide en que los migrantes llegaron probablemente del norte. Pero ella y otros dicen que no se han registrado hallazgos similares a lo de los Clovis en las partes de Asia de la que supuestamente proceden, y se preguntan por qué los sitios en el norte de América no parecen ser más antiguos que los del sur del continente. La evidencia de los primeros seres humanos en las Américas, aunque escasa, es fascinante. Incluye, entre otras cosas: -Una posible espátula con manchas de sangre que data de hace más de 34.000 años hallada en Monte Verde, Chile. -Posibles herramientas de piedra encontradas en Brasil con antig Juedad de 40.000 a 50.000 años. -Un informe todavía no publicado sobre restos humanos de hace unos 28.000 años cerca de Puebla, en el centro de México. Y lo que es más elocuente es que una mayoría de arqueólogos está convencida de que un segundo sitio en Monte Verde data de por lo menos 14.000 años, unos 500 años antes de que se abriera el puente terrestre desde el Asia unos 15.000 kilómetros al norte. Pero las fechas siguen siendo cuestionadas.

Smucker Co. will record a pretax loss of about $5.5 million, or 6 cents a share, in the second quarter after selling its Brazilian operations. In the second quarter a year ago, the company earned $32.1 million, or 64 cents a share. A Thomson First Call survey of analysts projects second-quarter earnings of $44.3 million, or 74 cents a share. In a press release Wednesday, the maker of Smucker’s jelly and Jif peanut butter said it sold its Brazilian operations, Smucker do Brasil Ltda., to Cargill Inc. in support of its ongoing strategic focus on North America. Cargill is a privatelyowned international provider of food, agricultural and risk management products and services. Smucker said the sale will generate cash proceeds of about $8 million. The Bra- zilian operations contributed about $11 million in sales to fiscal 2004 results while operating results were not material. In fiscal 2004, the company reported $1.4 billion in sales. The results of Smucker do Brasil will be accounted for as a discontinued operation, and all prior periods will be restated. Smucker’s stock closed at $44.61, up 10 cents in trading Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange. • The finest in Mexican dining: Mi Pueblo • 7278 Dix Hwy, Detroit • Mi Pueblo • 313.841.3315 • La Prensa Octubre 13, 2004 Registered Nurse Looking for an experienced RN to work in pleasant outpatient behavioral health care facility working primarily with children and youth.
