The cockroach isn’t swal-lowing the pre-election rheto-ric.

You can be Democrat, Re-publican, it doesn’t matter. Ifyou drag out sombreros andpiñatas to court Latino vot-ers—and then forget thenation’s largest minoritygroup after Election Day—thecockroach will lash out.

But he’ll also try to makeyou laugh along the way.

The cockroach is Chicanohipster Cuco Rocha, the maincharacter in “La Cucaracha,”the only politically edgyLatino-themed comic strip inU.S. newspapers today and onein a growing number of stripsmore editorial than comic.

He’s militant, self-righ-teous and mad. And, throughnational syndication on thedaily funny pages, the cock-roach and his jalapeno-hotpolitical satire are crawlinginto millions of homes.

Creator and artist LaloAlcaraz uses the roach to lam-bast President Bush, chal-lenger “Juan” Kerry and prettymuch anyone else in between.

Cuco Rocha watches MTV“Voto Latino” shows and callswhites “gringos.” His thinwhiskers tensed, in a recentstrip the roach encounters aKerry ’04 campaign volunteersurveying ``What’s on theminds of the Latino voter.’’Looking doubtful, Cuco re-plies, ``Most Latinos areagainst the war.’’ The eageryoung aide writes down ̀ `im-migration.’’

“The parties ... have a veryshallow approach to Latinos,”says Alcaraz, a “disgruntledDemocrat” by his own ac-count. “Mariachi music doesnot make up for an actual planon helping Latino communi-ties.”

He swivels in a chair in his

SAN DIEGO (AP): Latinoleaders and pro-immigrantgroups angry over Gov. ArnoldSchwarzenegger’s veto of leg-islation allowing illegal im-migrants to get drivers licensesare organizing protests and anational boycott to disruptconvention business.

Supporters of the bill,which was approved by theDemocratic-controlled Leg-islature, said the Republicangovernor will pay a politicalprice for reneging on prom-ises to reach a compromise.They charge thatSchwarzenegger belatedlyadded a demand that suchlicenses be specificallymarked to differentiate themfrom licenses held by U.S.citizens and legal residents, asuggestion many said wouldencourage discriminationand persecution.

“If this is the posture thegovernor wants to take, thenour community is going tobe forced to kick it up anotch,” said Nativo López,president of the MexicanAmerican Political Associa-tion and HermandadMexicana, based in South-ern California.

López, who led a one-daystate boycott in Decemberover the same issue, said hewill organize a national boy-cott to drive conventionsaway from such popular des-tinations as San Diego, LosAngeles, Anaheim, and San

Francisco.Mike Wilzoch, San Diego

director of the Service Em-ployees International Union,which has 30,000 workersstatewide, said his organiza-tion likely would begin pro-tests after the November elec-tion. However, union leaderssaid they doubt a boycottwould cause Schwarzeneggerto change his mind.

Supporters of the bill arguethat allowing illegal immi-grants to have licenses wouldimprove public safety by re-quiring them to know the rulesof the road and obtain insur-ance. Opponents cite securityconcerns, and say granting li-censes would encourage ille-gal immigration.

About one-quarter of the26 million to 30 million driv-ers on state roadways each daylack insurance, according tothe Personal Insurance Fed-eration of California, whichbacked the bill sponsored bySen. Gil Cedillo, D-Los Ange-les. An estimated 2.4 millionpeople living in California areillegal immigrants.

The National Council ofLa Raza (NCLR) said Friday itwould consider canceling itsplanned 2008 convention inSan Diego if a boycott pro-ceeds, said Lisa Navarrete, vicepresident of the Washington-based umbrella group of 300organizations. The conven-tion would draw 25,000 to30,000 people, she said.

25-by-25-foot studio clutteredwith photographs, comic stripsand cucaracha prints bulgingfrom a cardboard box on thefloor. A Che Guevara posterhe’s modified with Bush’s faceabove the words “FreedumbFighter” hangs on the wall; amini Mexican flag is drapedover the sink.

Because he gets hate mailand death threats, he calls thishis secret bunker “somewherein Los Angeles.”

The Fresno Bee, which pegsits readership at about one-thirdLatino, pulled “La Cucaracha”after receiving a barrage of pro-tests from readers who consid-ered it racist to suggest a roachspeaks for Latinos.

In San Diego, where Alcarazgrew up, readers of the Union-Tribune have objected to his“pro-Hispanic immigrant”slant, and urged editors to movethe strip into the opinion sec-tion. But Chris Lavin, the edi-tor who oversees Union-Tri-bune comics, defended Alcarazand his “take-no-prisonersstyle” in a column last year.

More than 100 other news-papers, including the Los An-geles Times, HoustonChronicle and Chicago Sun-Times also carry “LaCucaracha.”

“I’m showing a non-PC, non-sugar-coated view of life,” saysthe 40-year-old artist. “It’s OKto be bicultural and bilingualand you don’t have to waterthat down for whites.”

Alcaraz says he depicts themain character as a cockroachfrom the East Los Angeles bar-rio as a means of confrontingracial stereotypes head-on.

“In México, La Cucarachais a mainstream pop icon, anidea about resilience,” he says.“Here, it’s a racist epithet. Iwanted to make the point thatit didn’t have to be.”

The boyish father of threegrew up idolizing GarryTrudeau’s unabashedly liberal“Doonesbury” strip (he jok-ingly calls his strip“Doonesbarrio”) as well as po-litical comics in Spanish.

But the lack of Latino voicesin the U.S. comic pages both-ered him, so after graduatingfrom San Diego State Univer-sity he created “L.A. Cucaracha.”What began as an alternativeweekly strip evolved into thedaily “La Cucaracha.”

It’s not the first Latino-themed comic strip. “Gordo”

was one of the earliest, runningfrom 1941 to 1985. “Baldo,”nationally syndicated by Uni-versal Press, is another.

Neither is so blatantly po-litical as “La Cucaracha,”which is continuing a trendjumpstarted by “Doonesbury.”

Trudeau’s strip won thePulitzer Prize for politicalcartooning in 1975. BerkeleyBreathed captured the sameaward in 1987 for “BloomCounty,” another left-leaningcomic.

But those were exceptionsamid funnies that often havetended to be more benign thanbombastic since the golden ageof politically charged comicswaned in the 1950s.

Partisan strips disappearedas news outlets merged, costsrose and readers turned to tele-vision for information and en-tertainment, according to RodGilcriss, director of SanFrancisco’s Cartoon Art Mu-seum. The emergence of politi-cal correctness also made apo-litical laughs more attractive.

Recently, however, thefunny pages have becomemore political. Newer stripswith a strong point of viewinclude “The Boondocks,”Aaron McGruder’s left-lean-ing, racially charged comicabout two black youngsterswho comment on the worldaround them; Bruce Tinsley’s``Mallard Fillmore,’’ featuringa rock-ribbed conservativeduck who happens to be a jour-nalist; and Scott Stantis’ re-cent entry, the right-wing``Prickly City.’’ Breathed, whodiscontinued ``BloomCounty’’ several years ago,also returned to the funny pageslast year with the Sunday-onlystrip, ̀ `Opus.’’

“We’re enjoying a renais-sance of comic strips withheavy political and socialbents that hasn’t been seensince the McCarthy era andthe Korean War,” says EdwardSewell, associate professor ofcommunications at VirginiaPolytechnic Institute.

Sewell’s contribution to aforthcoming book on thepresidential election coverscommentary in various comicstrips, not traditional editorialcartoons.

Cutting-edge comics aresuccessful because politics hasbecome a “spectator sport”perfect for the funny pages,says Greg Melvin, who edits“La Cucaracha” and “TheBoondocks” at UniversalPress Syndicate.

“People are obsessed withpolitics—look at Jon Stewart,(Jay) Leno, (David)Letterman,” he says. “Comicshad to rejoin the dialogue orbecome obsolete.”

Not everyone has em-braced the return.

“The funnies are supposedto make people laugh,” saysRich Marshall, senior editorof the Fresno Bee, which car-ried “La Cucaracha” for morethan a year before cutting it inMay.

“We expected a negativereaction from our conserva-tive readers,” Marshall said.“We didn’t expect the numberof calls from Hispanic readerswho called the strip racist.”

Alcaraz has heard the com-plaint before. He shakes his head.

“I’m embarrassed forLatinos when we’re sounironic, so unimaginative,”he says. “It’s not like ‘Peanuts’means every white person is apeanut, you know?”

THE HISPANIC/LATINO DEMOCRATIC CAUCUSINVITES YOU TO:

MEET THE CANDIDATES NIGHT &VOTER REGISTERATION DRIVE

Thur., Sept. 30, 2004, 6:00-8:00PMAT LOCAL 12, 2300 Ashland Ave.,

Toledo, Ohio

Bill Faith, executive di-rector of the Coalition onHomelessness and Housingin Ohio (COHHIO) and theOhio Voterization Project(OVP), came to Toledo lastweek to fire up local agen-cies and organizations in a“non-partisan effort to helplow-income people get to thepolls,” he told his audience.

Faith met with represen-tatives of the FrederickDouglass Center, EOPA,Lagrange Development Cor-poration, Ottawa Commu-nity Development Corpora-tion, Vistula Management,Neighborhoods in Partner-ship, East Toledo FamilyCenter, and FOCUS, amongothers, to offer his group’sassistance in the drive to in-crease voter registration andvoting among a segment ofthe populace that is typicallyunderrepresented at thepolls.

“What we’re about is em-powering the people we serveto take back their lives,” Faithsaid. “We need to get a cul-ture of voting going …”among low-income people.

Faith spent the afternoonexplaining the work and re-search his group had done inorder to determine the best

way to reach lower incomepotential voters, a popula-tion segment, he said, thattends to vote at a rate of onlyabout 15 percent of their eli-gibility.

He brought material forthe agencies to distribute, hebrought posters and tee-shirts, and, above all, hebrought the insight that re-sulted from the focus groupshis agency had organized.“People vote when they havesomething to lose more thanwhen they have somethingto gain.”

Faith advised direct con-tact and printed material thatgets the message acrossquickly about how and whyto vote. He stressed that low-income voters need to beassured that their votes wouldhave impact on programs thataffect them. For example,budget cuts to the federal2006 budget could affectSection 8 vouchers, educa-tion funding, Head Start, WICand veterans’ medical care,one such OVP flyer notes.

For those who have notvoted often, if at all, the keyis information, said Faith,about how easy and funda-mental the process is. Peopleare often discouraged from

voting, he said, by rumorsthat they need paperwork andidentification, that they needto own or rent property orthat they cannot vote if theyhave a felony conviction.

Faith did not establish agoal for voter turnout amonglow-income people thatwould satisfy his agency.There are so many activists,he noted, working to increasevoter registration and vot-ing this year that the effortsoverlap.

The OVP is focusing thiselection year’s efforts onOhio’s eight largest cities. Akick-off training event twoweeks ago in Columbusbrought in 140 people fromaround the state to start thevolunteer process to increaseregistration among the state’slow-income residents,greatly exceeding theagency’s expectations, saidFaith.

COHHIO is a coalition oforganizations and individu-als committed to endinghomelessness. The agencywas founded in 1994.

The Ohio Voterization Project reaches out toNorthwest OhioBy Fletcher Word, La Prensa Staff Writer

Judge Flores passed awaylast October 17th after a courageous battle with cancer.In honor of Judge Flores, the National Latino Peace Of-ficers Association (Toledo chapter) named its annualAwards banquet, which is scheduled for October 7th, inhis honor.

By Fletcher Word, La Prensa Staff Reporter

Local Latino and African-American elected officials spentmuch of last week questioning the commitment of the LucasCounty Democratic Party’s leadership to the unity it hailsas being sacrosanct. After a week of turmoil and confusion ended much as itbegan, some party members still wondered who was in andwho was out … and for how long. The organization’s troubles started with a report in TheBlade, that the party had revised its membership rolls of theexecutive committee—the committee that ultimately handsout endorsements on candidates for political office.By the end of the week, certain elected officials whoappeared to be off the committee at the start of the week hadmysteriously been re-appointed to the list. The uproar was actually set in motion several weeks agowhen the party scheduled and held its fall meeting for thecentral committee at the IBEW Local 8 Picnic Grounds inRossford. Prior to the meeting, at least one party electedofficial, State Representative Edna Brown, had beeninformed, by other members, that she was no longer amember of the executive committee. Nevertheless, Brownwas called by those at party headquarters, she said, to findout if she planned to attend the meeting. During the call,she was told that she was still on the executive committee.She attended the meeting. It was Brown’s impression at the time that her presencewas required precisely in order to approve the changes inthe party constitution that would enable the leadership toremove her and other non-countywide elected officials.Those other elected officials would include Toledo CityCouncil members Wilma Brown, Michael Ashford and KarenMcConnell, Wade Kapszukiewicz and Robert McCloskey,Toledo Clerk of Court Vallie Bowman-English, Toledo Boardof Education members Deborah Barnett, Larry Sykes, AnitaLópez, David Welch and Peter Silverman, and WashingtonLocal Board of Education President Lisa Canales-Flores. When reporting for Sojourner’s Truth, I called DemocraticParty headquarters on Tuesday of last week and requestedthe list of names on the newly formed committee, the paperwas sent a list that did not include any of the aforementionednames. According to a member of the new executive committeewhom The Truth contacted after receiving the list, themeeting at Rossford was held in order to remove certain

Lucas County Democrats are having trouble unifying the Party

names without giving all members the benefit of beingcompletely informed as to how or why the changes weretaking affect. But the changes, The Truth was told by thatmember, were clearly intended to remove African-Americanelected officials, particularly those who would be inclinedto support Mayor Jack Ford in his re-election bid in 2005. “As soon as we got there,” said the member, “it wasannounced that the new by-laws were ready. A voice fromthe back immediately said ‘I make a motion to accept thenew by-laws.’ My objections were ignored.” According to this member, the by-laws were passed afteronly one reading and without affording voters theopportunity to scrutinize changes—a practice the memberdescribed as “unusual.” The list The Truth received also contained several otheroddities. For example, even though initial reports indicatedthat non-county wide elected officials were to be removed,Toledo City Council members Ellen Grachek, Pete Gerkenand Frank Szollosi were still included in the newmembership rolls. Among other additions to the new listwere Ray Kest, Ford’s opponent in 2001, and former MayorCarty Finkbeiner—widely rumored to be consideringanother run for the mayor’s post in 2005 and a key supporterof the new Democratic Party Chairman Sandy Isenberg whenshe ran to unseat the former Chairman Paula Ross. Also left out in the cold were UAW officials who had beenon the committee during Ross’s tenure and who hadsupported Ford in 2001—Lloyd Mahaffey, BruceBaumhower and Kenny Smith, as well as Ford lieutenants(and City of Toledo employees) Alan Bannister and MeganVahey. Elected black officials who had been informed that theyhad been removed from the list were incensed. So wereLatinos, according to a close source of Louis Escobar,president of Toledo City Council. Escobar was kept on thelist but he was extremely unhappy with the deletions ofAnita López and Lisa Canales Flores. Said Ashford: “Currently, the new Lucas CountyDemocratic Party, led by Sandy Isenberg, has systematicallyeliminated people of color—African-Americans andLatinos—from the opportunity to make decisions in thearea of creation of jobs, distribution of wealth, and thedevelopment of a diverse political landscape. They haveno respect for people of color.” (Continued on page 15)

King and Rosa Parks) Scholar-ship Award, I pay tribute to himand the farmworkers who con-tinue to feed America.

So who was César Chávez,anyway? If I were to pose thisquestion to a group of students,chances are they would recog-nize his name, but may notknow exactly the impact hemade in our society. But formany, this labor leader was ahero who not only changedlives, but changed history. Perhaps after learning moreabout him you will look atstrawberries, tomatoes, pickles,cucumbers, lettuce, potatoes,melons, and oranges, differ-ently and wonder who helpedput those foods on your table.

César’s effective commandmade him legendary and in thesame company as great leaderslike M.K. Gandhi and MartinLuther King, Jr. His coura-geous, compassionate, andhumble demeanor helpedtransform social, economic andpolitical changes for all of us.Chávez’s life started off as asimple one, soon to be followedby a life of struggle, hardship,and endurance. Maybe this iswhat made him so successful—his ability to endure andovercome any obstacle that lifethrew his way. It is fair to saythat Chávez impacted the agri-cultural labor movement by or-ganizing and unionizing thefarm workers, fighting for theirrights, and pushing for fairworking and living conditions.

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH: Remembering labor leader César Estrada Chávez(Continued from Page 1) César Estrada Chávez was

the second child of Libradoand Juana Chávez born onMarch 31, 1927, in Yuma, Ari-zona. His parents moved fromChihuahua, México andbought a ranch, store, and poolhall near Yuma, Arizona. Af-ter the Depression the familylost their ranch and they ven-tured west, where they foundwork as migrant farm workers,picking any and every kind ofcrop imaginable. The horribleworking conditions and long,grueling days of hard work wasmaybe what prepared Chávezfor the many battles andstruggles he would encoun-ter. He learned first hand thehorrific experiences of being amigrant farm worker.

While in elementaryschool, he and his family livedin a kind woman’s yard for ashort time because theycouldn’t find nor afford hous-ing. Chávez’s least favoritefield jobs were thinning let-tuce and sugar beats with ashort-handled hoe, forcingworkers to bend over literallyall day. In his autobiography,Chávez commented, “That’sthe first thing I think of [whenI see lettuce], some human be-ing had to thin it. And it’s justlike being nailed to a cross.” Chávez attended more than 30schools where teachers wereneither friendly nor helpful,and speaking Spanish meant asmack on the hand. WhenCésar graduated from the 8thgrade, it was considered un-

usual, and he began to workfull time.

After returning from his USNavy duties in 1944, Chávezagain began working in thefields. Later he met and mar-ried Helen Fabela. When hemoved his family to Sal SiPuedes, a San Jose barrio,which literally translates to“leave if you can,” he met hisfuture mentor, Fred Ross, a rep-resentative of the CommunityService Organization (CSO). Fred Ross approached Chávezfor a meeting, wanting to makethings better for the poor Mexi-cans in the barrio. But whatwas unusual about Ross wasthat he spoke colloquial Span-ish, not the Castilian Spanishstill taught in schools today. Inan interview years later,Chávez said, “In those dayswhen a gringo wanted to seeyou, it was something special;we never heard anything fromwhites unless it was the po-lice.”

As Chávez became moreinvolved with the CSO, hebegan to realize that the dis-crimination he endured in hislife was wrong. César began torebel in his own little ways,such as making a point to sit inthe white section of the movietheater. When he was asked tomove to the Black, Mexican,and Filipino section, Chávezrefused, was taken to jail, andreceived a warning. Duringthis time it wasn’t uncommonto see signs reading, “No dogsor Mexicans allowed”.

In 1952, Chávez becameemployed at the CSO for $35dollars a week, later becomingExecutive Director of the CSOin 1958. He quit his job tobecome a full-time organizerand unionizer in the early1960s. Chávez, his wife, andeight children moved toDelano, California, andworked the grape fields just tosurvive. Starting off with$1200, Chávez started a newunion specifically for farmworkers. He met Protestantminister Jim Drake, whoworked with the Migrant Min-istry, and together they startedthe National Farm WorkersAssociation, or the NFWA,later to become the United FarmWorkers (UFW).

One of the NFWA’s firstmajor projects was the famousgrape boycott. This major cropin California was associatedwith some of the worst work-ing conditions known at thetime and the union representedthe grape workers. In 1965, theNFWA entered the grape strikeon September 16. They begana protest march on March 17 inDelano that ended on April 11in Sacramento, to demonstratetheir disappointment in thegrape growers. There were tenthousand people rallying be-hind a banner of La Virgen deGuadalupe (The Virgin Mary

of Guadalupe); she was theirreminder of faith and protec-tion for those in the union.Police tried to stop the protest,but they were powerless, andthat was when Chávez dis-covered the power of a marchand rally.

Historically, the UFW’smost successful boycotts werethe grape boycott, specificallybecause by 1974, there weremore than 17 million U.S. citi-zens who stopped buyingboth grapes and Gallo Wine. A major concern and healthfactor stemmed from pesti-cides. Thousands of migrantworkers were exposed thoughthe spraying and inhaling ofpesticides each year. Largedoses could kill an adult inminutes, while small dosescould also damage the brainand nervous system. Eventu-ally in the late 1980s the U.S.took a stand on this issue andthe Environmental ProtectionAgency deemed grapessprayed by pesticides as po-tentially hazardous.

Conditions are and alwayshave been rough for migrantfarm workers—they live andwork in surroundings few otherU.S. residents would accept.Inadequate housing and trans-portation forced workers inCalifornia to sleep on cliff sidesin dug out coffin-shaped caves

and it was not uncommon tofind tiny cardboard shacksoccupied by families. Some ofthe buses then transportedmigrants to the fields provedto be unsafe. In one incident,nineteen workers werekilled. This catastrophe pro-voked Chávez to state in aninterview, “This tragedy hap-pened because of the greed ofthe big growers, who do notcare about the safety of work-ers and expose them to greatdangers when they transportthem in wheeled coffins to thefield.”

The union knew that theymust continue to help protectand empower the poor migrantworkers. But boycotting wasnot Chávez’s only option. Fast-ing brought the UFW and itscause attention from the mediaand the general public by ac-knowledging César’s refusalto eat on account of injustice.On March 10, 1968, after hisfirst 25-day fast, Chávez andSenator Robert Kennedy madenational awareness as theyshared a piece of bread, blessedby a priest.

ARIES: (March 21-April 20)Juggle your funds to the best of your abilities; you

might consider consolidating your debts so you haveonly one payment to deal with. Any home repairs nowwill probably be quite costly. Emphasize what you havein your life that brings you enjoyment and satisfaction.

TAURUS: (April 21 - May 21)Your intuitive hunches are right on. So don’t justify

them away. Emotions that have been held in check forsome time need to be unleashed now. Allow yourself toexpress what you feel inside, striving to maintain a senseof proportion—things aren’t so bad.

GEMINI: (May 22 - June 21)Any risks concerning money this week will be well

worth the effort. Is there someone trying to hold you backunder the false impression that it is for your own good?It’s time to make those decisions on your own. If you arebeing manipulated by another, it’s time to go it alone.

CANCER: (June 22 - July 23)This week your passions may get the best of you and

anger your mate. If you are, at the very least, aware of thispossibility, it can probably forestall any unpleasantness.If stress has gotten you down, take time for a ratherchildlike activity, helping you to relax.

LEO: (July 24- August 23)Rethink the reasons for your motivation in the work-

place—you may need some alterations to previous plans.Listen to your inner voice for suggestions. Do the rightthing when watching out for others, especially familymembers. What is it you really want out of life, and howare you going to get it?

VIRGO: (August 24 - September 23)Someone needs to smooth out the rough patches

created by an argument, and you are best suited for thejob. Following the rules may make you seem cold-hearted, so have a little compassion for those around you.Don’t keep any secrets if the information can be wellused.

LIBRA: (September 24 - October 23)Keeping secrets won’t get you far this week. Your

information could make or break a situation, so don’twithhold what you know. There is a career move for youin the very near future, but it will be quite a large step totake, so embark with caution and optimism.

SCORPIO: (October 24 - November 22)Make sure to not commit yourself to something that

may stifle and hold you back. Don’t stall in your deci-sions, just say you are not ready and leave it at that. Thereseems to be some tension between you and your mate,when you kiss and make up, talk honestly.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 - December 21)You have a chance to create a solid foundation for

future security. Be careful to avoid getting caught up ingetting ahead at the expense of your peace of mind orcreating havoc within your family. Don’t jump to con-clusions with romance; take it a step at a time.

CAPRICORN: (December 22 - January 20)You seem to have a restless sort of irritability, which

may just get you into trouble. It’s important to keep youranger in check or you may find yourself cutting off thosewho are most important to you. Your current romanticpartner may surprise you with lots of attention.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 - February 19)You are doing a great job making finances stretch to

their limit, but enough is enough, and something has gotto go. If you have the authority to make the cut, go for it.Changes at work may have you feeling like you havebeen overlooked, but that is far from true.

PISCES: (February 20 - March 20)A recent investment may prove much more lucrative

than you ever expected, but getting out early may not besuch a bad idea. Be sure to take care of all the detailsthough, however insignificant they may be. If you arefeeling unmotivated, find a way to psyche yourself up.

IF THIS WEEK IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: It’s a goodtime to discuss any emotional issues with a significantother. Clear the air of any obstacles, and you may bequite surprised at how easily the conversation flows.Now that the lines of communication are open, makeevery effort to keep them this way.

asumió protocolarmente elcargo, que a través de esefuncionario México puededar un aporte a la región delo que ha logrado en losderechos humanos.

“Es un puesto que anosotros nos gustaría quefuera ejercido por unmexicano”, dijo.

Derbez no mencionó larespuesta de Rodríguez,pero el canciller dijo queen la entrevista le hizomención a que los temas dederechos humanos,democracia y seguridad re-gional “son de gran interéspara México” y que elsecretario general “reflejaclaramente” esasprioridades.

“Estamos, por lo tanto,en sintonía total yabsoluta”, declaró.

Recordó que Méxicoapoyó su elección comosecretario general nosolamente para queobtuviera el triunfo en lavotación sino “para que laOEA recupere su posiciónde prioridad en el procesode integración continen-tal”.

Dijo que Méxicoconsideraba que la OEAdebería convertirse en “unorganismo regional quenos permita hacer unaevaluación adecuada tantode la democracia como delos derechos humanos ennuestros países”.

Consideró que eranecesaria la eliminación dela

“politización” que en elcampo de los derechoshumanos existe en

organizaciones comolas Naciones Unidas, y setrabaje en un

mecanismo deautoevaluación como elque ha establecido la OEApara

la lucha contra elnarcotráfico.

Ese esquema, conocidocomo MEN, o mecanismode evaluación delnarcotráfico, estableceparámetros sobre áreasdiversas y obliga a losgobiernos a informar quéacciones están adoptandopara cumplirlos.

Según Derbez, laevaluación debería sercomplementada con“programas específicos” derefuerzo del trabajo de losgobiernos, como elentrenamiento ycapacitación defuncionarios.

Indicó que Méxicodejaría su aspiración alcargo de coordinador si esque Rodríguez pudieragarantizar laimplementación de unprograma que permita afuncionarios jóvenes de laCancillería mexicana venira la OEA por dos o tres añospara conocer “cómo sedesenvuelven lasrelaciones internacionales”en este tipo de instituciones.

Gloria Trevi con hijo

CHIHUAHUA, México(AP), sept. 22: Un juezmexicano determinó la nochedel martes retirar los cargospor violación, secuestro ycorrupción de menores contrala cantante mexicana GloriaTrevi y ordenó su salida deprisión.

Luego de más de un mes deconsiderar el caso, el juezJavier Pineda falló que nohabía evidencias suficientesen contra de la cantante de 36años y dos de sus coristas.Hubo muestras de júbilocuando Pineda falló en favorde la inocencia de la tambiénactriz.

Pineda leyó su decisiónante una celda en la corte en lacual se encontraban Trevi yMaria Raquenel Portillo. Lasegunda corista, MarleneCalderon, estaba en la sala,pero no detrás de las rejas.

Vestiga de blanco y conuna amplia sonrisa, Trevisaludó a un grupo de reporterosque esperaba entrevistara an-tes de salir de la prisión AquilesSerdán, de esta ciudad del nortede México.

“Estoy feliz, no lo puedocreer todavía, pero lo que se veno se pregunta. En la mañanay durante el transcurso del díame sentía como que estaba enuna película del oesteantigua... con la soga en elcuello esperando a que meahorcaran o que llegara el va-quero a salvarme”, dijo Trevia The Associated Press.

A pesar de las fuertes lluviasque inundaron las callescercanas, decenas de fanáticosesperaron por horas la salidade la cantante.

La madre de Trevi, GloriaRuiz, dijo no haber tenido lamenor duda de que su hijaregresaría a los escenarios.Trevi había escrito variascanciones en prisión y seesperaba que firmara un nuevocontrato en unos cuantos días,

Juez declara inocente a GloriaTrevi y ordena su liberaciónPor FEDERICO GUEVARA

dijo Ruiz.“Mis sentimientos son

enfocados en la gente” que leprestó ayuda, dijo Trevi.

El fallo puede ser apeladoen los próximos cinco días, dijoel juez.

Trevi, las ex coristas y su exapoderado Sergio Andradefueron acusados en 1998 porlos padres de Karina Yapor—una joven originaria de estaciudad norteña y quien tambiénhabía sido parte del grupo—delos delitos de violación,secuestro y corrupción demenores.

Yapor ratificóposteriormente la acusación.

En una entrevista televisivaantes de que el juez leyera lasentencia, Yapor dijo que todoindicaba que serían absueltas yseñaló que lo más probable esque apelará el fallo.

Segura de que seríandeclaradas inocentes, Yapordijo a la televisora TV Aztecaque era “una verg Juenzainternacional... una injusticiadentro de la justicia”.

Trevi, las ex coristas yAndrade han sido señaladoscomo responsables de abusarde las adolescentes que seincorporaron a su grupo pararecibir educación musical du-rante la década pasada, aunquela única denuncia formal fue lade Yapor.

Cuando las autoridadesdescubrieron que el grupo habíaabandonado a un niño enEspaña en 1998, Trevi, Portilloy Andrade desaparecieron,iniciándose una cacería portoda Latinoamérica.

Trevi fue detenida en enerodel 2000 junto con Andrade yPortillo en Río de Janeiro,donde vivieron durante más deun año luego de escapar deMéxico para evitar suaprehensión.

Los tres fueron transferidosa una cárcel de Brasilia, desdedonde intentaron evitar su

extradición. Durante eseperíodo, Trevi se embarazó ydio a luz en prisión. Exámenesgenéticos determinaron queel bebé era de Andrade.

Trevi fue extraditada aMéxico en diciembre del2002 y unos meses despuésocurrió lo mismo con Portillo.

Andrade fue extraditado afinales de noviembre del 2003y aún enfrenta un procesopenal.

A diferencia de losanteriores, Calderón fuearrestada en la ciudad deMéxico en 1999, aunquedespués de pasar un año enprisión fue liberada bajofianza.

En agosto pasado, en laúltima audiencia en elproceso en su contra, Trevihabía pedido“humildemente” al juez quela absolviera de todos loscargos.

“Pido humildemente seme absuelva de todas y cadauna de las acusaciones por lascuales enfrento este proceso.Gracias”, dijo entonces lacantante, quien también dijoque confiaba en la justicia.

NUEVA YORK (AP):Revivir el viaje enmotocicleta que marcó lavida del “Che” Guevara y unamigo fue una experienciatransformadora para losactores Gael García Bernal yRodrigo de la Serna.

“El estar en contacto conla naturaleza en el Cusco y enTemuco fue modificador. Lac o s m o v i s i ó nlatinoamericana ganóprofundidad en mí”, dijo Dela Serna, de 28 años.“También adquirí ciertaespiritualidad que no tenía”.

García Bernal, por suparte, dijo que a nivel per-sonal creció después deinterpretar al Che, y sobretodo después de vivir su viajeen carne propia.“Compartimos nuestrapropia experiencia con lospersonajes”, dijo el astromexicano de 25 años.

Para interpretar a ErnestoGuevara en “Diarios demotocicleta”, García Bernalaprendió a hablar con acentoargentino, leyó todas lasbiografías posibles del Che,su obra, lo que él leía en esaépoca, las cartas que escribióa su madre y a su novia, viajóa Cuba a conocer a susamigos, familiares yconocidos, mejoró su estadofísico y aprendió a montarmotocicleta.

De la Serna, un argentinoque encarnó al amigo ycompañero de viaje deGuevara, Alberto Granado,engordó 15 kilos, leyó todolo referente al personaje,viajó a Cuba a conocerlo,aprendió a bailar tango y amanejar la pesada moto queharía el papel de “Lapoderosa”, la Norton 500 de1939 con la que el paremprendió su recorrido deocho meses y 12.800kilómetros por Sudaméricaen 1952.

Aunque no profundiza entemas políticos, el filme

MONTERREY, México(AP), 23 sept.: La estrella popmexicana Gloria Trevi, reciénexcarcelada de una prisiónde Chihuahua, regresó eljueves a su ciudad natal pararecibir una ferviente acogidapor parte de docenas de afi-cionados y un enjambre deperiodistas que siguieron susmovimientos paso a paso.

Los vehículos trans-misores de televisión sealinearon frente a la catedral,donde Trevi y su familia seproponían asistir a una misa deacción de gracias por su libertad.

Las telemisoras trans-mitieron en directo la escenaen que Trevi solicitó unpasaporte en una oficina local.La artista dijo a la red mexicanaTelevisa que desea ir a lalocalidad estadounidense deMission, en el estado de Texas,donde su madre reside desdehace tres años.

“Quiero ver a mi madreporque está algo enferma”,dijo la cantante.

Trevi vino por avión aquídesde Chihuahua la nochedel miércoles y fue recibidapor un numeroso grupo demiembros de su familia, entreellos su hijo de dos años,

muestra cómo el viajedespertó la conciencia so-cial en los dos jóvenes al verlas injusticias soportadas porlos desposeídos en los paísesque recorrieron. Y los actoresaseguran que a ellos tambiénles cambió la vida.

La cinta narra “la historiade dos jóvenes que parten enun viaje de aventuras a travésde un continentedesconocido, y este viaje dedescubrimiento se conviertetambién en un proceso deautodescubrimiento”, hadicho su director, el brasileñoWalter Salles, quienaprendió español con elúnico fin de hacer el filme.

“Desde el inicio la ideafue ser lo más fiel posible alos libros y al espíritu deesta aventura que acabótransformando las vidas deestos dos jóvenes”, dijoSalles en una rueda deprensa, explicando que la“Diarios de motocicleta” serodó en secuencia y en lamayoría de los lugareslegítimos del viaje originalpara “vivir en la piel lo quelos personajes vivieron hace50 años”.

La producción además ledio a Granado, quien hoytiene 82 años y vive en Cuba,la oportunidad de revivir suodisea al acompañar alequipo durante el rodaje,sirviendo de gran apoyo tantopara los actores como para lapelícula. “Siempre nos dabainformaciones precisas paratrabajar”, dijo el realizador.

Para Salles, las escenas másdifíciles fueron las filmadasen San Pablo, Perú, dondemuchos residentes actuaronsin ser actores profesionales,y donde decidieron salirse unpoco del guión para hacertomas más biendocumentales.

Quizás éste también fue elsitio de mayor impacto paralos viajeros originales, ydonde ellos a su vez dejaronsu más profunda huella. Allípasaron tres semanastrabajando en el leprosariolocal como médicosvoluntarios.

“Fue increíble ver quealgunos leprosos que aúnestán vivos recordaban aAlberto”, relató De la Serna.“Se reencontraron en lafilmación después de 50

estrella de 36 años, dos cantantesde sus coros y su apoderado,Sergio Andrade, de atraer ajóvenes aspirantes a artistas a sucomitiva para luego abusarsexualmente de ellas.

El martes, el juez JavierPineda dictaminó que nohabía pruebas suficientespara declarar culpable a Treviy a sus coristas MaríaRaquenel Portillo y MarlenaCalderón. Andrade esenjuiciado por separado.

Entre tanto, el procuradorgeneral del Distrito Federal,Bernardo Batiz dijo elmiércoles que la Trevitodavía debe responder a dosdemandas penales en laCiudad de México.

Dijo que los cargos habíansido suspendidos durante laventilación del caso en Chi-huahua, y que los fiscalesestudiaban si debíanpresentarlos formalmente ensu contra o engavetarlos.

Es posible que la Trevisea llamada a declarar acercade ambas demandas,presentadas por “personasque dicen que fueronprivadas de su libertad y unaque dice haber sido víctimade abusos sexuales”, dijoBatiz.

Guevara y Granadodecidieron romper las reglasy no sólo trataron a lospacientes sin guantes, sinoque jugaron al fútbol ycompartieron con ellos comoamigos.

El cumpleaños del Checoincidió con su estadía enSan Pablo, y el joven decidióque quería festejarlo del otrolado del río, con los enfermos.Se lanzó a cruzar las aguasnadando en la oscuridad,desafiando su asma, y logrósu cometido.

Para García Bernal, lacinta lleva a una preguntaobligatoria: “¿De qué ladodel río quieres vivir?”.

De la Serna, por su parte,expresó que éste “es un viajeépico que todos deberíamoshacer”.



dignity, and for humanity.” Huelga!—Meaning

“strike” in English, becamea popular chant during theprotests. On August 26,1970, Chávez called for anationwide boycott ofChiquita bananas and theInter Harvest Company. The working conditionsunder Inter Harvest in Cali-fornia were extremely poor.It did not take long forChávez’s tactics to work,because on that same day,the company wanted tonegotiate, raising the work-ers’ wages to $2.10 per hour.His non-violence approachand methods proved suc-cessful in securing work-ers’ rights and utilizingpublic assistance programs.

Another boycott in-volved the UFW vs. BudAntle lettuce. Bud Antle,with support from the Team-sters, got a court order to liftthe boycott, and whenChávez refused, he wascharged with contempt ofcourt. Chávez’s hearingtook place on December 4,1970 in Salinas, California,with 2000 workers present. Judge Gordon Campbelltook a ten-minute recess andcame back with a verdict so

long that it was obviouslywritten beforehand. Chávezwas jailed for contempt ofcourt until the boycottceased. The Judge imposeda $10,000 fine, which waslater reduced when the courtwas reminded that $500 isthe absolute maximum forhis charge. Chávez’s reac-tion was “boycott the hellout of them!” Among his visi-tors in jail were widowsCoretta Scott King and EthelKennedy. After twenty daysChávez was released pend-ing case review. Ironically,four months later the courtruled his conviction uncon-stitutional. Si se puede (Yesyou can) became one of theunion’s famous sayings,showing Chávez and theworkers’ faith in their ownabilities and actions.

In a 1984 California unionsurvey, 83% of workers saidthat their conditions im-proved because of a directresult of Chávez and UFW’sefforts. Lettuce workers inCalifornia can now make upto $20 an hour, not includingtheir benefits, paid vacations,and access to medical plans.During César’s leadershipspan, the Union helped se-cure clean drinking water, rest

periods, hand-washing facili-ties, protective clothingagainst pesticide exposure,prohibition of spraying pes-ticides on workers while inthe fields, paid health ben-efits, unemployment benefits,and parental leave to care fora sick child or parent for thou-sands of farm laborers.

Baldemar Velásquez,founder of the Farm LaborOrganizing Committee(FLOC),which was estab-lished in 1967 and based inToledo, Ohio, worked side-by-side and supportedChávez on some labor issues.Velásquez knows first handthe toil and success of nego-tiating fair labor contractssince working with hisUnion. Campbell Company,Heinz USA Company, andMt. Olive Pickle Companyunderstand the Union’s un-relenting strength. It is by nocoincidence that Velásquezhas received the prestigious“Genius” MacArther Fellow-ship Award, México’s Presi-dential Aguila Award, hon-orary doctorate awards, andtoo many other honors tomention.

After César Chávez’s un-expected death on April 23,1993, flags in California’sstate capitol building flew athalf-staff. Since then, a stateholiday and postage stamphave been established/is-

sued. His legacy continuesthrough broadcasting, hous-ing, and educational efforts.

Reverend Richard Notterof Saints Peter and PaulChurch in Toledo, Ohioworked with the MigrantMinistry years ago and at-tended the funeral and alsoled the rosary at an all-nightvigil held for Chávez. Eventhough thousands of mourn-ers paid their respect, includ-ing Ethel Kennedy and herchildren, politicians, actorsand celebrities, the funeralwas simple and humble likethe man. Father Notter be-lieves that the UFW has con-tinued well after the laborleader’s death. Chávez’sson-in-law Arturo Rodríguezstepped into his place tocontinue the struggle.

On August 8, 1994,Chávez’s widow, Helen, ac-cepted the Medal of Free-dom from President Clintonat a White House ceremony. César’s son, FernandoChávez, stated, “My fatherchose to live a life of volun-tary poverty, and yet I be-lieve his legacy will be rich,a legacy of nonviolence, alegacy in the spirit ofGandhi, Martin Luther King,Jr., and Bobby Kennedy. Hislegacy was also that of aMexican spirit and soul. Hispeople believe that suffer-ing doesn’t cause death, but

increases strength. His abil-ity to endure any and allchallenges proved to be abig part of his triumph. CésarChávez not only impactedthe agricultural labor move-ment by creating the firstflourishing union for farmworkers, but by continuingto fight and struggle for theirrights and their dignity whilenever giving up, and in do-ing so Chávez proved to theworld that “Si se puede!”

Mi trabajo me da la oportunidad de visitar escuelas públicas en comu-nidades a través de todo el país. Yo lo he visto todo. Escuelas que sonlimpias, modernas, y seguras con todos los últimos materiales y tec-nología. Otras escuelas que son medias sucias, anticuadas, y más omenos seguras con materiales y libros obsoletos – y sin la cantidadnecesaria. He estado en escuelas en que la mayoría de los estudiantesson blancos y otras escuelas con una gran diversidad racial y cultural.

No es un accidente que los estudiantes tengan diferentes niveles deoportunidad educacional. Las personas que viven en los barrios aflu-entes tienen mucha experiencia y los recursos para hacer que sus vocessean escuchadas cuando importa. Por ejemplo, ellos se registran paravotar, van a las urnas, participan en campañas, conocen a sus represen-tantes elegidos, y se aseguran de que sus hijos consigan lo que necesi-tan en sus escuelas públicas en el vecindario. La mayoría de la genteque vive en vecindarios menos afluentes tiene el deseo y la voluntad,pero a menudo carece de los recursos y el conocimiento de como usarel sistema para lograr lo que necesitan para las escuelas públicas en susvecindarios.

El camino principal para hacer que su voz sea escuchada es el procesopolítico.

No podemos esperar, como individuos, familias, o como nación, que laoportunidad igualitaria en la educación sea una realidad. A menos quenosotros les demos a todos los niños las herramientas para ser exi-tosos, América va a haber fallado en su promesa y arruinado su futuro.Es así de importante.

Hace más de una década, en un foro sobre la decisión judicial famosaBrown v. Board of Education, Roger Wilkins, el professor de historia dela Universidad de George Mason, dijo, “Muchos afroamericanos enesta sociedad no pueden sacar beneficio de Brown u otros sueños oteorías, demandas legales o programas hasta que sus padres tengan laoportunidad de trabajar, sus familias sean estables, y haya esperanza nosólo en sus hogares sino en sus vecindarios.”

Esto todavía es verdad para los afroamericanos, hispanos, asiático-americanos, personas indígenas—para todos los americanos.Luchando por la excelencia en las escuelas públicas para todos nuestrosniños no se refiere sólo a un programa de reforma escolar. Esto debeser un esfuerzo de involucramiento de los padres y refortalecimientode la comunidad. Debe ser un movimiento político. Debe ser unaunión de personas con el propósito de asegurarse de que cada niño enAmérica tenga lo que él o ella merece.

Juntos podemos tomar un paso gigante. Vote el martes, 2 de noviembre.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP):For five years running, theUniversity of New Mexicohas been ranked among thetop 10 business schools na-tionally for Latinos.

And this year, HispanicBusiness magazine has putUNM’s Anderson Schoolsof Management at No. 6 onthe list.

“If you look at the de-mographics of UNM, howwe’re represented by womenand minorities, we offer aunique educational experi-ence,” business school deanCharles Crespy said.

Because of that diver-sity, Crespy said studentsemerge with a better under-standing of how diverse thework place will be.

“They’re better posi-tioned to work effectively,”he said.

At the AndersonSchools, 19 percent of the564 master’s in businessadministration students areLatino. The graduation ratetops 85 percent, and theplacement rate for gradu-ates is higher than 90 per-cent.

Hispanic Business ratedbusiness schools nation-wide on total graduate and

WASHINGTON (AP):Workplace fatalities in theUnited States rose slightly to5,559 last year, with the high-est number of deaths in theconstruction and transporta-tion industries. Latino work-ers continued to have the high-est on-the-job death rate, theLabor Department saidWednesday.

In 2002, 5,534 people diedon the job—the lowest totalsince the survey began in1992. The death rate came tofour deaths a year per 100,000workers in 2002 and 2003.

“American workers remainsafer than they were just a fewyears ago,” said JohnHenshaw, assistant labor sec-retary for Occupational Safetyand Health.

The construction industryhad the most deaths—1,126,followed by 805 deaths in thetransportation and warehous-ing sector.

When the number of work-ers in each industry was con-sidered, the highest death ratewas in the sector of agricul-ture, forestry, fishing and hunt-ing, with 31.2 deaths per100,000 workers. Mining wasnext, with a rate of 26.9 per100,000 workers.Construction’s rate was 11.7,and transportation and

warehousing’s was 17.5.The most frequent work-

related deaths were on high-ways—1,350 last year, com-pared with 1,373 in 2002.

Some 861 truck driversdied on the job last year, morethan in any occupation. Butlogging workers had the high-est death rate, with 131.6 per100,000. Pilots and flight en-gineers were second, with arate of 97.4 deaths. The rate fortruck drivers was 26.7.

“Transportation is a dan-gerous job,” said BretCaldwell, spokesman for theTeamsters union, which rep-resents truck drivers and otherworkers in the warehouse,parcel and freight industries.

He criticized the Bush ad-ministration for pursuing “un-safe policies,” including aneffort to increase the time thatdrivers can work—one hourmore, to 11 straight hours, anda maximum of 77 hours overseven days, a 17-hour increase.

The rules were imposed inDecember and struck down incourt. They also required driv-ers to take at least 10 hours offbetween shifts, two more thanbefore, and reduced the maxi-mum work day from 15 hoursto 14.

The union also opposes anadministration plan for a two-year exemption from U.S.safety standards for foreign-

built trucks that have previ-ously entered the United States.The move is aimed at openingU.S. roads to Mexican trucksas part of a free trade pact withMéxico and Canada.

The report said the secondmost-frequent work deathswere falls, with 691 last year,compared with 719 in 2002.Homicides followed, with 631in 2003—an increase from 609the year before. Still, work-place murders were down froma high of 1,080 in 1994.

Stress and anxiety aboutlayoffs, the transfer of jobsabroad and terrorist attacks aremaking the workplace morevolatile, said Paul Viollis,president of Risk Control Strat-egies, a risk assessment secu-rity company.

On Monday, an unarmedsecurity guard was shot andkilled at the Illinois State-house.

“We need to do a muchbetter job in the United Statesof providing a safe work envi-ronment,” Viollis said, such asemployers mandating train-ing and safety policies.

Latino workers died on thejob more frequently than oth-ers, with a rate of 4.5 deaths per100,000. Last year, 791 Latinoworkers were killed at work.Whites had a rate of 4.0 deathsper 100,000 and for blacks,3.7, the Labor Department said.

Latino enrollment, faculty,student services, retentionrate and reputation.

Those that ranked aheadof UNM included Stanford,Yale, New York Univer-sity, University of Texas-Austin and North Carolina.

Valerie Almanzar hasundergraduate degrees inpsychology and Spanishand enrolled at Andersonafter working at a salon anddeveloping an interest inbusiness.

“UNM has a strong sup-port network for Hispanicstudents,” she said. “Thereare resources, tutoring,computer labs.”

Crespy said Latinos area significant and integralpart of the student body.Many students are in-volved in the HispanicBusiness Students Associa-tion and the Associationof Latino Professionals infinance and accounting.

But those officials’ gloomproved to be premature.Forty-eight hours afterreceiving the first list ofpurged elected officials,The Truth calledDemocratic headquarters tomake sure that the list wasfinal. It was not, we weretold. We were sent a new,different, list. This new list included thenames of Ashford,McConnell, Edna Brown,Wilma Brown, Barnett,Bowman-English—six ofthe black elected officialswho had been omitted fromthe original list. This meant that allDemocratic Toledo CityCouncilmen were now a partof the executive committee… except for McCloskeyand Kapszukiewicz. The Truth spoke withDemocratic Party FinanceChairman Jerry Chabler lastFriday after examining thenew list. Chabler assured usthat the party had nointention of deliberatelyomitting anyone, althoughhe did have a questionabout whether school boardofficials were to be includedon the executive committeein the future. The new list,in fact, had inexplicably

LC Democrats are having trouble(Continued from p. 3)

excluded all school boardm e m b e r s — W e l c h ,Silverman, Sykes, AnitaLópez, and Lisa Canales-Flores—except for Barnett.“We have been workingunderstaffed and trying toget Kerry elected,” saidChabler, explaining theDemocrats’ list du jourapproach to organizing apolitical party. However, the politicalreality is that, in the longrun, the names on theexecutive committee maybe inconsequential from thestandpoint of party power. Aphrase in the newamendment describing theduties of the screeningcommittee—which forwardsrecommendations ofendorsements to the

executive committee—states that norecommendation ofendorsement will be givenuntil after the primary isheld. Last May, upon claimingthe party leadership after acontentious session,Isenberg was quoted assaying that “this party needsa leader who can put thepetty bickering aside, thefractious discord, and focuson the important tasksahead.” If the discordant tonesemanating from Democraticranks last week are anyindication, a number of theparty faithful do not believethat the new leader has yetbeen able to accomplish thatfeat.
