WASHINGTON, DC, 27de septiembre de 2011 (AP):Más de la mitad deestadounidenses entre 14 y24 años de edad han sufridoalgún tipo de acoso en línea—desde burlas hasta acoso deotros estudiantes—, según unnuevo sondeo de The Associ-ated Press-MTV.
El 55% de los encuestadosdijeron haber sufridoagresiones vía internet, 10puntos porcentuales más quela cifra registrada hace apenasdos años.
Una tercera parte dijeronhaber participado en “sexteo”(texto de tipo sexual),intercambios de fotos dedesnudos o videos deactividad sexual.
Entre los entrevistadosque tienen una relación sen-timental, cuatro de cada 10dijeron que sus compañerosutilizaron sus computadoraso celulares para acosarlos otratar de controlarlos.
Tres cuartas partes de losjóvenes admitieron queconsideraban este aspectomás oscuro del mundo enlínea, a veces llamado “abusodigital”, un problema grave.

1 de octubre de 2011 (AP): Elcomediante mexicano GasparHenaine Pérez “Capulina”, cuyacarrera incluyó numerosaspelículas de humor y múltiplesprogramas de televisión a lo largode seis décadas, murió el viernes.Tenía 85 años.
El vocero de la AsociaciónNacional de Actores, Gustavo deAnda, dijo a The Associated Pressque el actor falleció en el hospitalde la Ciudad de México dondepermanecía desde hace algunosdías. De Anda agregó que noconocía la causa precisa de lamuerte.
Henaine había sido ingresadopor una pulmonía y sufriócomplicaciones por una úlceragástrica. Su familia había iniciadouna campaña para solicitardonadores de sangre debido a lastransfusiones que se le habíanpracticado.
Capulina participó en casi 100películas y destacó en elentretenimiento mexicano debidoa su capacidad humorística, por lacual nunca recurrió a groserías oreferencias obscenas en suschistes, lo que le valió el apodo del“Rey del Humorismo Blanco”.
El Consejo Nacional para laCultura y las Artes lamentó através de su cuenta de Twitter lamuerte del actor.
De Anda dijo que los restosdel comediante serían veladosdesde la noche del viernes en unafuneraria de la Ciudad de México.
Henaine nació enChignahuapan, Puebla, el 6 deenero de 1926, hijo de uninmigrante libanés. Tras probarsuerte como cantante durante suadolescencia, en los grupos LosExcéntricos del Ritmo y el tríoLos Trincas, conoció a principiosde la década de 1950 a MarcoAntonio Campos Contreras,conocido como “Viruta”, conquien inició una prolífica carreraen la radio.
Juntos formaron un duetocómico que remitía a El Gordo yEl Flaco, por su humor y por elaspecto de ambos. El dúo alcanzógrandes éxitos en la pantallagrande con más de una veintenade filmes.
Tras una ruptura profesionalcon Campos Contreras, Henainecomenzó a forjar un camino ensolitario, haciendo películas decomedia dirigidas en su mayoríaa los niños.

en estrella de la televisión condiversos programas entre los quedestaca “El gran circo deCapulina”, que se transmitió en ladécada de 1970 y lo llevaría a serun pionero al realizar giras con uncirco que llevaba su nombre. “Elcirco de Capulina” tuvo su últimagira en 2001 y en ella compartióescena con su hijo Antonio.
El éxito del histrión trascendiólas pantallas y llegó hasta laspáginas de las historietas con “Lasaventuras de Capulina”, un popu-lar cómic semanal, que comenzó apublicarse también en los 70 yestuvo a la venta a lo largo de 15años.
Tiempo después la revistacambió su formato a uno de bolsilloy adquirió el título de “Lasaventuras de Capulinita” y siguiópublicándose hasta mediados delos 90.
No era la primera vez que elpopular comediante enfrentóproblemas de salud. En 1971 le fuedescubierto un tumor en el cerebro,lo que le llevó a someterse a unadelicada cirugía, tras la cual tuvoafecciones en la vista.
El actor se convirtió en un ídolode los niños por su programatelevisivo “Las aventuras deCapulina”, transmitido a finales de
los 80. En la emisión Capulinahizo mancuerna con el popularluchador Tinieblas (``El capitánaventura’’) y su compañeroAlushe, un duende maya.
Aunque la emisión resultóexitosa, el actor hizo una pausaen su carrera en 1991 por unaccidente que sufrió su esposaMaría Elena.
El regreso de Capulina sedemoró casi una década puesfue hasta 1999 cuando Henaineapareció en la pantalla chicacon un papel en la telenovelainfantil “El diario de Daniela”.Su participación no sólo marcósu incursión en los melodra-mas, sino que le permitióretomar su carrera musical aldar vida a Don Capu, unpersonaje que solía cantar en laemisión.
El melodrama alcanzó altosniveles de popularidad y tuvo sufinal en vivo con un concierto enel Estadio Azteca de la capitalmexicana, donde Capulina fueuna de las figuras másovacionadas.
En 2009 Capulina fuehomenajeado con una estatua quefue develada en su natalChignahuapan.

COLUMBUS, Sept. 28,2011 (AP): Ohio Democratsfollowed through Wednes-day on threats to sue over alast-minute legislative ma-neuver by Republicans thateffectively shields Ohio’snew congressional map froma ballot challenge.
In a lawsuit filed with theOhio Supreme Court, theOhio Democratic Partyasked justices to weigh inon whether lawmakers actedlegally when they addedmoney for county electionboards to the redistrictingbill as it neared approval lastweek.
Laws that call for statespending are immune fromrepeal under Ohio’s consti-tution. However, the highcourt ruled in a high-profile2009 case that a group chal-lenging then-DemocraticGov. Ted Strickland’s planto legalize racetrack slotshad a right to challenge theplan even though it was partof a state budget bill.
LetOhioVote.org, thecampaign against the slots,eventually abandoned itschallenge, but Democrats arepointing to the legal prece-dent set in the case in mak-ing their arguments to thecourt. Their formal goal isgaining an opportunity toput a repeal question beforevoters in 2012, but makinga successful case could also

The Directory was devel-oped by the Immigration Ad-vocates Network (IAN), a col-laborative effort of leadingimmigrants’ rights organi-zations, and Pro Bono Net, anational nonprofit thatworks to increase access tojustice through innovativeuses of technology, and oneof IAN’s founders. The di-

prompt a federaljudge to interveneand order themapmakers back tothe drawing board.
The moneyadded to the bill alsomeans it takes effectimmediately, in-stead of after theusual 90 days. Thedeadline for con-gressional candidates to file isDec. 7, so a map must be inplace by then.
The map, which Republi-can Gov. John Kasich signedinto law Monday, has beenwidely derided by Democratsand voter groups who say theGOP gerrymandered the linesto protect their control of Ohio’scongressional delegation.
Ohio lost two U.S. Houseseats—reducing its number ofrepresentatives from 18 to 16—because of slow populationgrowth compared to the rest ofthe country. Voter advocacygroups, such as the Ohio Leagueof Women Voters, say the newmap makes 12 of those seatssafe for Republicans.
The map squeezes six sit-ting members of Congress intothree districts, setting up po-tential primary face-offs be-tween Republicans MikeTurner and Steve Austria insouthern Ohio and DemocratsDennis Kucinich and MarcyKaptur for a district along LakeErie. It also places Democratic
U.S. Rep. BettySutton into thedistrict of Repub-lican JimRenacci.
A new Demo-cratic-leaningdistrict was addedthat containsmost of Colum-bus and its homecounty, Franklin.
The new 9th Congres-sional District stretches fromToledo to Cleveland alongthe banks of Lake Erie, andthe new 15th District is anelongated backward “C”shape that stretches over 800miles and touches parts of 13counties.
The GOP-led Ohio Sen-ate defended adding the$2.75 million in statespending to the bill. Themoney is to be used by theelections boards to makechanges associated with thenew map.
Ohio State University lawprofessor Dan Tokaji has saidthe Supreme Court ruled in2009 that only the appro-priation portion of an appro-priation bill is safe from voterrepeal, not the rest of the leg-islation.
State Sen. Keith Faber,who is an attorney, has said ifthe appropriation is neces-sary to implementation of thebill, the two cannot be sepa-rated for purposes of repeal.
rectory was developed withsupport from the Four Free-doms Fund.
Nearly 5,000 nonprofitand pro bono immigrationadvocates are members ofIAN, with access to thou-sands of immigration law andpolicy resources. The Direc-tory will assist them in con-necting clients with neededlegal services. A public ver-sion of the directory designedto help low-income immi-grants find legal assistanceon their own will be launchedthis fall.
“The National Immigra-tion Legal Services Directoryexemplifies IAN’s goal of us-ing technology to overcomebarriers and to improve coor-dination among immigrationadvocates and service pro-
viders,” said MatthewBurnett of the ImmigrationAdvocates Network.
“The Directory is a valu-able tool for overstretchedlegal and social services ad-vocates, who can now eas-ily access referral informa-tion for clients in need ofimmigration services,” saidMaria Odom, ExecutiveDirector of the CatholicLegal Immigration Network(CLINIC). “At a time ofunprecedented need, any-thing that helps advocateswork more efficiently andeffectively is hugely ben-eficial.”
The Directory will ini-tially be made availablethrough the IAN websitewww.immigrationadvocates.org/nonprofit/legaldirectory/

The Toledo Zoo has an-nounced the birth of twoAmur tiger cubs on Monday,September 26, 2011 to fa-ther Strannik and first-timemother Marta. The cubs’gender(s) have not yet beendetermined, and they are notscheduled to go on exhibituntil some time in January,2012. These initial monthsallow the cubs to becomefully mobile and have fullprotection from their initialvaccinations; weather andexhibit conditions couldalso affect the date of theirpublic introduction.
“Marta appears to be do-ing a really good job caringfor the cubs, but we remaincautious because litters tofirst-time mothers often donot survive due to poormothering skills,” Dr.Randi Meyerson, curator ofmammals, said. “So farMarta is displaying verygood maternal behavior.”Average litter size for Amurtigers is two to four cubs.
The cubs are the secondgeneration of Amur tigersborn at the Zoo. Theirmother, eight-year-old
Marta, was born at the To-ledo Zoo in May, 2003. Inearly summer 2011, thecubs’ father, eight-year-oldStrannik, arrived from theErie (Penn.) Zoo, on loanfrom the Toronto Zoo. Al-though exhibited togetherthroughout the summer,Strannik and Marta wereseparated about a monthbefore the cubs were due.The cubs will remain withMarta for at least two years.
Strannik and Marta’sbreeding was recommendedby the Amur tiger SpeciesSurvival Plan (SSP). The As-sociation of Zoos andAquariums (AZA) coordi-nates the SSP program, acollaborative breeding andconservation initiative toensure that the populationis healthy and geneticallydiverse. The Toledo Zooparticipates in more than 30SSPs.
Amur tigers, formerlyknown as Siberian tigers,are the largest tiger subspe-cies, and about 143 Amurtigers live in about 53 AZA-accredited zoos. Originally,eight subspecies existed;
three of those subspeciesare now extinct. The fiveremaining subspecies, in-cluding the Amur tiger, arecritically endangered dueto habitat loss and fragmen-tation as well as poachingof both tigers and their prey.
The Toledo Zoo is opendaily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.and is located on the An-thony Wayne Trail (US 25),four miles south of down-town Toledo. Visittoledozoo.org or call (419)385-4040. Lucas Countyresidents are admitted freeof charge each Mondayfrom 10 a.m. to noon. IDshowing proof of residencyis required.

Grand Rapids, MI, 3 deoctubre, 2011: Ante el anunciodel Presidente Barack Obamade realizar cambios en laspolíticas de deportación paradetener la expulsiónindiscriminada y enfocarse entodos aquellos con historialcriminal, la abogada MarieloPuerta, Especialista enAsuntos de Inmigración,advierte sobre notarios querecomiendan erróneamente alos inmigrantes, entregarse a
las autoridades deldepartamento deinmigración para entrar en lallamada “orden desupervisión” y de estamanera, obtener su permisode trabajo.
“Ciertamente, aquellosque han sido detenidos porinmigración y no cuentancon antecedentes penales orepresentan una amenazapara la seguridad pública,pueden entrar en un proceso
de orden de supervisión elcual les permitirá quedarseen el país y obtener unpermiso de trabajo. Sin em-bargo, esto aplicaúnicamente para las perso-nas que tienen una ordenfinalizada de deportación”,comentó la abogada Puerta,quien se encuentra bastantepreocupada por el abuso deque están siendo objeto losinmigrantes por parte denotarios que recomiendanentregarse a las autoridadespara recibir este supuestobeneficio. Por lo querecomienda mantenerseinformado y en caso de sernecesario, acudir con unabogado para obtener laasesoría correspondiente.
“Hay mucha gentedesesperada por su situaciónmigratoria que se deja llevarfácilmente por consejoserróneos; pero siempre hayque averiguar bien antes derealizar cualquier acción ydañar todavía más susituación en el país”, agregó.
Marielo Puerta explicóque con el cambio en laspolíticas de inmigración, losabogados se encuentrantrabajando arduamente parademostrar a las autoridadesque aunque pueden poner auna persona en proceso deportación, no necesariamentedeben deportarlo. “Hay genteque vive aquí desde suinfancia, o tal vez confamiliares enfermos,estudiantes, veteranos, etc.que no tienen ningún delitomás que el haber sidodetenidos cuando seencontraban en el lugar y en
el momento equivocado; esdecir, cuando migraciónarrestaba a alguien conantecedentes penales, bajoel programa deComunidades Seguras”.
Todas estas personas,ahora pueden presentarpruebas que demuestren subuen historial. En base a ello,las autoridades deinmigración determinarán sise debe deportar o entrar enorden de supervisión. “Soncomo 19 criterios que se estántomando en cuenta paraemitir un resultado. Esimportante mencionar queactualmente hay tantos casosde deportación pendientes,que la corte ya tiene citashasta el 2013, por lo que seestá pidiendo que nada másse enfoquen en aquellos conhistorial delictivo para deesa manera, poder desahogarun poco la tan apretadaagenda”.
Si se logra demostrar a lasautoridades de inmigraciónque una persona es elegiblepara quedarse en el país yentrar en la orden desupervisión, se cancela lacorte.
La abogada ha sido testigode varios casos en donde lasautoridades han permitido alos inmigrantes continuarcon su vida en este país. “Elcaso de cada persona es muyparticular, algunas sonmadres solteras con hijosciudadanos estadouni-denses; otros tienen algunaenfermedad; en fin, lassituaciones son muy diversasy lo más importante espresentar todas las pruebas
necesarias para obtenerla aprobación deinmigración y podercontar con el permiso detrabajo, bajo como sunombre lo indica, unaorden de supervisión”.
Cabe destacar que conel programa deComunidades Segurasfueron deportadas du-rante el año fiscal del2010, poco más de 392mil inmigrantes y de ellos195 mil (49.5%) teníanantecedentes criminales.La cifra de expulsadosfue la mayor en la historia, deacuerdo con información delDepartamento de SeguridadNacional (DHS).
Con los presentes cambiosen la política de inmigraciónde Obama, los gruposproinmigrantes se encuentranreuniendo todos los esfuerzospara cancelar el programa deComunidades Seguras, elcual generó todo esteambiente de intimidación ycrecimiento del racismoantiinmigrante.
Se espera que con estarevisión, los departamentosde Seguridad Interna y Justiciacentren sus recursos en ladeportación de extranjeroscriminales u otros querepresentan una amenaza a laseguridad pública o nacional,han violado repetidamente laley, ingresaron recientementede forma ilegal por la fronterao son fugitivos deinmigración.
Por otra parte y parafinalizar, la abogada recordóque aunque este año yaterminó el número de Visas U

que se les entrega a las víctimasde violencia doméstica, elprograma continúa y esimportante denunciar al agresor.“Aunque parezca increíble, ennuestra comunidad hispana hayun alto número de violencia ymuchas veces la víctima noconoce sus derechos. El hechode ser ilegal no le impide llamara la policía para protegerse y sedetenga al atacante. De hecho,si la victima coopera con lasautoridades, puede recibirapoyo para el patrocinio de laVisa U, lo cual es un poco difícilde conseguir, no cualquierpolicía en este momento sepresta a cooperar. Sin embargo,no siempre pasa eso y por fortunanos encontramos con muchasautoridades muy solidarias,simplemente hay que trabajaren ello”.
Puerta indicó que muchoscasos de violencia vanacompañados del alcoholismo,por lo que recomienda tenercuidado al tomar y si esnecesario, pedir ayuda o acudira grupos de apoyo, antes de quesea demasiado tarde.

The cultural mosaic of Is-rael will come alive whenYamma Ensemble comes toLorain County CommunityCollege’s Stocker Arts Cen-ter, scheduled for 7:30 p.m.,Saturday, October 22, 2011.
Yamma Ensemble drawsfrom the roots of ancient Is-raeli poetry to present joy-ous, vibrant and passionatemusic that blends the tradi-tional sounds of the MiddleEast and the contemporaryrhythms of the west.
To listen to Yamma En-semble is to stroll the mar-kets of Old Jaffa, to sip coffeein a café above the Mediter-ranean. Like the UnitedStates, Israel is the product ofan immigrant society and itsmusic derives from the Jew-ish communities that werescattered all over the worldas well from the first Euro-pean immigrants. These in-fluences combine to create afascinating mix between eastand west.
Yamma Ensemble is a fivemember band formed in 2004by musicians who representsome of the many differentcultural and ethnic back-grounds that call Israel home.The variety of languages,cultures, and musical stylesthey perform in concertmakes for a truly unique,entertaining, and educa-tional world music experi-ence.
The performance caps offa week-long residency thatYamma Ensemble will holdat LCCC and throughout the
When brothers George,Peter, and John Keller takethe stage at this year’sFamilyFest at Lorain CountyCommunity College, youcan be sure it will be a harmo-nious affair.
The Keller Brothers areone of three local acts thatwill perform at FamilyFeston Saturday, October 15,2011 on the LCCC campus.The event runs from 12-5p.m. The Keller Brothers willtake the stage at 4:15 p.m. toperform pop, R&B and softrock favorites.
One of the finest dramaticvocal ensembles in North-east Ohio, the Keller Broth-ers have been singing as atrio since 2010 and havequickly built a stellar repu-tation. The group sings a va-riety of genres, including op-era, a capella and popularmusic. The Elyria brothershave performed with theCleveland Pops Orchestraand auditioned for“America’s Got Talent” in
Greater Cleveland area fromSunday, October 16 throughSaturday, October 22, 2011.During their week, the mem-bers of the Yamma Ensemblewill conduct workshops withstudents, school groups, aswell as at area temples andsenior centers.
Everyone is invited tomeet the ensemble at an open-ing reception for the resi-dency week on Sunday, Oc-tober 16 from 5-7 p.m. in theBeth K. Stocker Art Gallery,which will also be celebrat-ing the close of the Artists andTeachers art exhibition.
“It’s rare for small and mid-size Midwestern communi-ties to host ensembles fromIsrael,” said Janet HermanBarlow, Director of StockerArts Center. “The music andculture Yamma Ensembleshares will be absolutely fas-cinating and different fromwhat we typically hear. Theensemble will be at LCCC fora full week and we expect thisresidency will be an engag-ing cultural and musicallearning experience for thecommunity.”
According to Barlow,LCCC does not regularlyhave the resources to hostweek-long residencies by in-ternational ensembles likeYamma Ensemble. Arts Mid-west, a regional arts organiza-tion based in Minneapolis,offsets much of the cost andhandles the coordination ofArts Midwest World Fest toursin order to offer smaller com-munities throughout the
Midwest this rich interna-tional arts experience. Itspurpose is to foster globalunderstanding and apprecia-tion through cultural expe-riences. LCCC was selectedas one of only nine Mid-western cities to host the2011-2013 Arts MidwestWorld Fest and is the onlypartner community in Ohioto be a part of the program forthis cycle.
Yamma Ensemble is thefirst of four ensembles to visitLCCC over the course ofthis two-year partnershipwith Arts Midwest. The otherensembles coming toStocker Arts Center include:Tarim, Uygur Song andDance of Western China(March, 2012), Wust el Baladfrom Egypt (Fall 2012), andCudamani from the islandof Bali in Indonesia (Spring2013).
Tickets are $15 for adults;$10 for students with a validID; and $10 for children 12and under. They will alsoperform a one-hour StudentMatinee performance at10:00 a.m. on Friday, Octo-ber 21 at Stocker Arts Cen-ter. Tickets for the StudentMatinee are $4/each. Tick-ets can be ordered online atwww.stockerartscenter.comor by calling the Stocker ArtsCenter box office at (440)366-4040.

2010 and 2011. Their secondCD, “Grandma Amore” is dueout later this year.
The brothers are lookingforward to performing on fa-miliar turf, as all three areLCCC students. George, 22,and Peter, 19 are full-time stu-dents who are active in theCollegiate Chorale, vocal en-semble, civic chorale groupsat LCCC.

“We’re brothers and we loveto sing,” George said. “We’relooking forward to performingat FamilyFest and want to makesure everyone has a good timelistening to us.”
Before the Keller Brotherstake the stage LCCC respira-tory care student WendyHoover will perform at 3:45p.m. Hoover will wow the au-dience with her powerful voiceas she sings country and popselections.
“I love to perform,” Hoover
said. “I’m excited to get onthe stage at FamilyFest.”

Ken Kovach highlights the various agencies thatserve the international and immigrant communities inCleveland.
Award winning poet andauthor Santiago “Jimmy”Baca shared snippets of histragic life and how he wentfrom being incarcerated inan Arizona prison for drugcharges to a bestselling au-thor and activist.
“I write, that is what Ido,” he said casually to anaudience of 30 people atCleveland Public Library’s‘Writers & Readers Series’on Sept. 24, 2011. He capti-vated their attention withhumorous yet heart-break-ing anecdotes from his lifeand by reading segments ofhis poetry.
Born in New Mexico toIndo-Mexican parents,Baca’s life is tales of trag-edies interwoven into les-sons that ooze from hisprose. Thomas Corrigan,president of the LibraryBoard of Trustees, saidBaca’s writing, “Contributeto the understanding ofmankind.”
Baca’s parents were mur-dered when he was five, hisgrandmother blind fromdiabetes and grandfatherdying from cancer had torelease custody of him andhis siblings to an orphan-age. He would run away re-peatedly to his grand-mother; “The beatingsdidn’t mean anything be-cause I wanted to be withmy grandmother,” he said.
He shared his struggle to
The Sixth Annual Sum-mit on the State of Interna-tional Communities inCleveland was held at West-ern Reserve Historical So-ciety on Sept. 24, 2011.Leaders representing manyethnic communities from,Greece, Hungry, Lebanon,India, Romania, Russian,Syria, Sweden, and Vietnamattended and learned aboutupdated from various orga-nizations servicing the in-ternational and immigrantcommunities.
Ken Kovach—presidentof the Board, InternationalServices Center—said thecommunity does not shareenough information witheach other and more effortmust be made to keep eachother abreast of the chal-lenges and accomplish-ments service organizationsare facing.
Recently elected presi-dent of Global Cleveland,Larry Miller outlined thestrategies the organizationplans to implement to draw100,000 new comers toCleveland in the next de-cade. “We are a small orga-nization; we will not be ableto do everything,” he said,but emphasized the impor-tance of working with ex-isting organizations for feed-back to improve and addprojects to their strategicplans.
Miller said the threeways to attract newcomersto Cleveland include: re-versing the brain-drain byencouraging employers tohire and retain internationalstudents; boomerangs en-couraging those with ties inCleveland and Ohio to re-turn and start families andbusinesses here, and attract-ing foreign talent. “One ofthe most important parts ofattraction is making surethey have a strong solid con-nection with their ethniccommunities in Cleve-land,” Miller said.
Karen Wishner, execu-tive director of Interna-tional Services Center, saidrefugees resettling in Cleve-land breathe fresh life intothe city. ISC ensures theyfind housing, languagetranslation services, enrollchildren in schools andnavigate health care. “Giv-ing someone hope is a verypowerful thing, you neverknow how it will impact
Jimmy Baca shares his experiences in writingand poetry at CPLBy Arooj Ashraf, La Prensa Correspondent
their life,” she said.Wishner said refugees have
an immediate impact on theeconomy, and their childrenregularly contribute to in-crease in standardized testscores. “They grab on tochances because they havenothing to lose,” she said.
ISC is facing financial dif-ficulty and Wishner requestssupport to continue existingprograms that impact the livesof many in the city.
Another newcomer on thescene is Worldwide Intercul-tural Network, and Vice Presi-dent Harry Weller saidorganization’s approach is tocapitalize on the energy withinthe young and mobilize thegrassroots for economic de-velopment. “There is a lot ofenergy in this town, and wecan work hand-in-glove withGlobal Cleveland to harnessthe economic power that al-ready exists,” said Weller.
WIN-Cleveland hosted itssecond event at ClevelandCity Hall with an InternationalArts Show and Bazaar featur-ing 28 artists from 13 differentcountries, music and danceperformances and tastes ofethnic foods. It will be co-hosting a mixer with Societyof Urban Professionals in Oc-tober and a holiday diversitycelebration with Mayor FrankG. Jackson in December.
The strength of the organi-zation is the diversity of itsboard, said Pierre Bejjami. “Itis very refreshing to see all ofthe cultures sitting together atthe table working together,”he said.
Ron Berger, director of theLatino Initiative, said GlobalCleveland is an answer to his
prayers; its mission is fillinga void he saw in the commu-nity for a long time. He isencouraged by the approachMiller has taken in movingthe organization forwardand said the Latino commu-nity must mobilize to helpthe organization with itsmission and address it ownneeds. The initiative is fo-cusing on getting voters reg-istered to participate in theupcoming November elec-tions.
Miller said the Latinocommunity can be an activeagent by spreading the wordabout Cleveland with fam-ily and associates overseas;encourage students to pur-sue in demand fields. Hesaid it is important to breakthe myths about Cleveland.
Global Cleveland nextseminar will be in Decemberto educate employers on re-cruiting and hiring interna-tional student, navigatingwork visa sponsorships andmore.

belong and being despised bywhites, and blacks for beingMexican, “The Chicanoswould beat me for not beingChicano enough.” Bruisedfrom multiple beatings he wasintrigued to find himself turn-ing purple, and in the excite-ment ran to his friend and pro-claimed he too was turningblack—“He told me: ‘Youcan’t be beaten black, you haveto be born black’ – It was theworst thing anyone had eversaid to me; I couldn’t escapethe one thing I wanted to bemost, which was being me.”
Baca found the one toolthat transformed him while injail—reading. He fought toearn his GED and in prisonpenned his first book. Fellowinmates turned to him to readand write their letters. An in-teraction with a notoriouslydangerous inmate firstsparked the power of educa-tion. “He said to me, ‘How cana Mexican know what’s in awhite man’s heart,’ and I real-ized language is the most pow-erful weapon man can have.”He realized the only way totransform him was through lit-eracy, and he has taken thismessage across the nation andworld to libraries, universi-ties, and prisons, conductingworkshops.
