Rosales is juggling two careers, as he still serves his country in the U.S. Marine Corps as the Company First Sergeant for Bridge Company Alpha, located in Battle Creek, Michigan. “Parts of my responsibilities include developing, mentoring and encouraging the professional development of Bridge Company Alpha Marines through counseling, instruction, and leadership by example,” he explained. “Also, in conjunction with the Company Executive Officer, I track all accountability, training accomplishments, and other administrative information during drill weekends in order to complete reporting requirements.” Rosales also serves as an advisor to the UT Latino Student Union (LSU). At his age, his role may be as a big brother figure to many of the young Latinos. “In this role, I serve as the campus liaison for the students and help them stay on track as a student organization and in the classroom,” he said. “Being a past president of this organization, I take this role very seriously and do my best to serve the needs of the students.” In addition, he serves as a mentor to several students on campus, particularly with members of LSU and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. He stated he “works a lot off the clock, one-onone with students,” helping them adjust to the demands of college and the transition that occurs. He has a nine-year old daughter Jordan and spends what little spare time he has coaching her third and fourth grade basketball team. He also tries to “keep up with the demands of her schedule, as she’s an athlete that participates in basketball, tennis, golf and cheer.” Rosales is the youngest of four children to Robert and Rosa Rosales. He graduated from Waite High School and still lives in East Toledo. DID YOU KNOW...?

España competía con Nueva Zelanda y Turquía por uno de los asientos del grupo de Europa Occidental y otros países, el único en el que había más candidatos que plazas. Mientras Nueza Zelanda obtuvo el asiento en la primera votación por 145 votos a favor, Turquía y España no obtuvieron los dos tercios necesarios y tuvieron que ir a la segunda ronda. En la segunda ronda España consiguió la victoria al obtener 132 votos a favor sobre los 60 de Turquía. Tras el anuncio de los resultados la delegación española presente en la votación, y que estuvo encabezada por el ministro de Asuntos Exteriores José Manuel García-Margallo, saltó de alegría repartiendo abrazos y felicitaciones.

La Prensa—Michigan Página 4 October 24, 2014 Detroit Institute of Arts celebrates opening of ofrenda exhibit with exciting activities Friday, Oct. 24 Primera hispana en ser honrada en el Salón de la Fama de las Mujeres de Michigan 2014: Marylou Olivarez Colombian soprano Catalina Cuervo to perform songs from Michigan Opera Theatre’s upcoming Frida The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) will host a series of activities celebrating the opening of the museum’s ofrenda exhibit on Friday, Oct. 24, 2014. Festivities begin at 8:00 p.m. with remarks by Detroit City Council Member Raquel Castaneda-López, followed by a performance by Colombian soprano Catalina Cuervo of songs from the Michigan Opera Theatre’s (MOT) Frida, opening next March in conjunction with the DIA’s blockbuster exhibition Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo in Detroit. Afterwards, viewers will be invited to explore the exhibit. The event is open to the public and free with museum admission. The DIA will exhibit 28 ofrendas created by local artists from Friday, Oct. 24, to Sunday, Nov. 2. An ofrenda (offering) is an essential part of the traditional Mexican Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) holiday, a day to remember and honor the memory of deceased loved ones. Ofrendas consist of a collection of objects meaningful to the deceased and placed on altars as a welcome to those being remembered or honored. Participating artists will discuss their ofrendas in a public talk on Nov. 2 at 2 p.m. at the museum. Also on Nov. 2, the DIA will be providing free continuous bus transportation from Clark Park in southwest Detroit to the museum beginning at 1:30 p.m. Clark Park will host its own dis- play of ofrendas created by community members. Cuervo, who will debut in Detroit as F r i d a Kahlo, the title role in Frida, will perform a selection of three songs from the opera and give visitors an enticing preview of what’s to come in March. Cuervo has performed at numerous opera Catalina companies and festivals around the world, including the Florida Grand Opera, Cincinnati Opera, Syracuse Opera, Chicago Dance Festival and in her native city Medellin, Colombia. She has performed the role of Maria in Piazzolla’s Maria de Buenos Aires more than any opera singer in the world. Frida focuses on the turbulent life of Frida Kahlo and celebrates Kahlo’s vivacious spirit, talent, sexuality and fragility in scenes filled with wide-ranging music as complex and colorful as Kahlo’s artwork. It will open at the Macomb Cen- Cuervo ter for the Performing Arts, March 7 and 8, 2015, followed by performances at the Berman Center for the Performing Arts, March 21 and 22, 2015 and at the DIA’s Detroit Film Theatre, March 28, 2015. The opera is one of a series of regional events scheduled to complement the DIA’s special exhibition Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo in Detroit, March 12 to July 12, 2015. The exhibition will explore the tumultuous and highly productive year that Mexican artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo spent in Detroit, a pivotal turning point in each artist’s career.

Vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) are incorrectly notorious for their “Hollywood reputations.” Although they do drink blood – most commonly from livestock — these small mammals rarely kill their prey, and their teeth are so sharp that prey often don’t even feel the bite. Native to Mexico, South America, and Cen- tral America, vampire bats are remarkably adapted for this specialized feeding behavior. They rely on unusual elongated “thumbs” and heat sensors in their noses to find the best place to feed on an animal. Their powerful hind limbs help them navigate on their prey, and this even enables them to walk and run – something most other bat species cannot do. Once the meal is finished, those same powerful limbs help the bats take flight afterward. Happy Birthday Carla Soto Cruz Happy Birthday Kaniya D. Carmona Oct. 25 —We love you Carla at La Prensa. 6 yr on Oct. 6 —Love, tu papa, JD Carmona Contrary to what movies often show, vampire bats prefer blood from cows or goats rather than humans, and they pose very little threat to people. Vampire bats are social, intelligent animals who form long-term cooperative bonds within their group, grooming each other and sharing meals. Toledo Zoo offers free Climate Change Symposium on Oct. 29 On Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2014, from 9 a.m. to 12:45 p.m., the Toledo Zoo is offering a free climate change symposium in the Indoor Theatre of its historic Museum of Science. Presenters include scientists, researchers and professors from Polar Bears International (PBI), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), The Ohio State University, the University of Toledo, and Bowling Green State University. The team of presenters will discuss Toledo’s recent water crisis, climate change research and the impact of climate change on the natural world. One of the symposium highlights is a live video conference with PBI researchers in Churchill, Canada, one of the few places in the world where polar bears still roam wild. This symposium is ideal for all guests ages 12 and up, especially middle school, high school and college/university students, staff and faculty. It is free and open to the public, but space is lim- ited and pre-registration is required. Additional information is available at toledozoo.org/climate. Educational opportunities like these are just some of the reasons the Toledo Zoo is rated the #1 zoo in the nation by USA Today Travel, and among the top ten family attractions nationwide by FamilyFun Magazine.

Fueled by immigration and higher birth rates among Latinos and blacks, the U.S. population is becoming less white. These changes, however, have largely bypassed congressional districts represented by Republicans, adding to divisions between the GOP and Democrats on issues like immigration. National GOP leaders have been urging Republicans in Congress to reach out to Latino voters on immigration, well aware that Latinos are the nation’s fastest-growing group. Those calls have fallen flat among many House Republicans, who have been unwilling to advance legislation that would provide a pathway to citizenship for an estimated 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. without documentation. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama and Democrats in Congress have made immigration overhaul a priority. Demography helps explain the divide. Following the 2010 census, Republican legislators in key states redrew congressional districts in ways that favored their candidates. That helped House Republicans maintain a 33-seat majority in the 2012 election, but it left many House Republicans largely isolated from demographic changes sweeping much of the country. While the United States is becoming more diverse, most congressional dis- tricts represented by Republicans are overwhelmingly white, with relatively few minorities. “That’s not going to last forever,” said William Frey, a demographer at The Brookings Institution. “Sooner or later, demography is not on the side of those places staying isolated.” On average, Republicanheld districts are 74 percent white. Latinos make up 11 percent and blacks make up 9 percent. By comparison, the average district represented by a Democrat is 51 percent white, 23 percent Latino and 17 percent black—more diverse than the country as a whole. Nationally, non-Latino whites make up 64 percent of the country, a share that has been declining for decades. Over the next 30 years, the Census Bureau projects that whites will lose their majority status. Racial and ethnic minorities already make up about half of all children under 5. Latinos make up 17 percent of the U.S. population, a share that will continue to grow, according to US Census projections. That’s why some Republican leaders are concerned. In the 2012 presidential election, Republican Mitt Romney got just 27 percent of the Latino vote. Following the election, the Republican National Committee conducted an analysis to see what went wrong. Among the RNC’s findings: “We must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform. If we do not, our party’s appeal will continue to shrink to its core constituencies only.” In the Senate, some Republicans had embraced the immigration issue, led by Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a possible presidential contender in 2016; however, under pressure from the Tea Party, he switched his support and is now against comprehensive immigration reform. Last year, 14 Senate Republicans joined with Democrats to pass a comprehensive immigration bill that would couple increased border security with a path to citizenship for those in the U.S. without documentation. In January, House Republican leaders unveiled their principles for overhauling immigration laws. They included a proposed pathway to legal status for millions of adults who live in the U.S. unlawfully—after they pay back taxes and fines—but not the route to citizenship that Obama and many Democrats favor. Rank-and-file Republicans balked and some labeled the plan “amnesty.” But House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, never brought up a bill for a vote.

The package has been updated and is available again. http:// Multimedia: hosted.ap.org/interactives/ 2014/redistricting. With BC-US—GOP Advantage. October 23rd ‘Modern Family’ actress Elizabeth Peña dies at 55 By DERRIK J. LANG, AP Entertainment Writer LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15, 2014 (AP): Elizabeth Peña, the versatile actress who shifted between dramatic roles in such films as “Lone Star” and comedic parts in TV shows like “Modern Family,” has died. She was 55. Peña’s manager, Gina Rugolo, said Wednesday the Cuban-American actress died Tuesday in Los Angeles of natural causes after a brief illness. No other details were provided. Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, to Cuban immigrant parents, Peña’s Hollywood career spanned four decades and included roles in such movies as “La Bamba,” ‘’Down and Out in Beverly Hills,” ‘’Jacob’s Ladder” and “Rush Hour.” In filmmaker John Sayles’ “Lone Star,” she memorably portrayed a history teacher who rekindles a romance with an old flame, played by Chris Cooper. Peña appeared on such TV shows as “L.A. Law,” ‘’Dream On,” ‘’Resurrection Blvd.” and “Modern Family,” where she played the mother of Sofia Vergara’s character, Gloria. She starred in the 1980s sitcom “I Married Dora” in the titular role as a housekeeper from El Salvador who weds her employer to avoid deportation. Peña also provided her voice to Disney-Pixar’s “The Incredibles,” the “Justice League” cartoon series and Seth MacFarlane’s “American Dad.” Peña most recently appeared on the El Rey Network drama “Matador.” “She was a role model, a truly extraordinary performer and an inspiration in every sense of the word,” the network said in a statement. “Our thoughts are with Elizabeth’s family and friends during this difficult time. She will be deeply missed.” She is survived by her husband, two children, mother, and sister. Cleveland doctor turns Latina artist (Continued from Page 1 Lorain) close to home. In 1936, when Spain was involved in a civil war, her maternal grandfather disappeared in the chaos of battle for nearly a year. “Nobody knew if he was dead or alive,” she recalled. Her mother was determined to find out what happened to him, so she went to Madrid and spoke to the Red Cross. According to Dr. Pujana, her grandfather was found about a month later because of that organization’s efforts. Her mother became a donor in Spain and continually urged Dr. Pujana to get involved with the Red Cross in Cleveland. She presently serves on the MetroHealth Foundation Board, the advisory board of the Cleveland Institute of Art, the Helen Moss Cancer Research Foundation, and is a member of the Cleveland Office of Minority Health advisory committee. Her philanthropic fields of concentration include economic development, minority health, arts and culture education, and international affairs. She also has assisted El Barrio, the Hispanic Cultural Center, and other Latino nonprofits, particularly to collaborate with other organizations and funders to stay true to her roots. Dr. Pujana was born in Madrid, Spain, but spent her youth in Colombia. She returned to Madrid at age 17, where she earned her medical degree from Universidad Complutense and served as the chief resident at Veteran’s Hospitals of Madrid. Over time, she found her way to the United States—first in San Francisco, then Cleveland in 1992. She is now both a clinical neurologist and neurophysiologist with MetroHealth System of Cleveland. Dr. Pujana also teaches at Case Western Reserve University in a pioneer program that is geared toward doctors and professionals. She is a faculty member at CWRU’s Center for Global Health and Diseases in the School of Medicine. The class focuses on the Latino population and their inclusion in the medical system and process. Her personal and professional philosophy has always been “to do your best” and to “keep your spirit alive.” She has always considered it her life mission to develop the “artistic gifts” her parents gave her and to help wherever and whenever possible in honor of the lessons her parents taught her. She is married to Hugo Urizar, the president of Advanced Translation Services. She has two sons, Miro and Marco. She also has two grandchildren—a boy and a girl. She was inducted into the Cleveland International Hall of Fame in 2013.She graduated from Leadership Cleveland (class of 2005). She received the 2011 Distinguished Ohioan Award, the 2010 TIE Ohio Community Catalyst Award, the 2009 YWCA Women of Achievement Award, the 2008 Visionary Award from the Hispanic Business Association, 2003 Business Woman of the Year from Score Magazine Dr. Pujana is hoping to set an example for young Latinos and Latinas. She has encouraged her children and grandchildren to become bilingual so they can both know their heritage and be successful in a global economy. She pushes for the “academic success” of young Latinos, especially if they want to become scientists and engineers. But she also knows that “not everyone will be able to go into those careers.” But they must “train in something” and “do their absolute best, no matter what it may be.” But she believes there is a place for everyone in their future and wants to encourage them to “never lose their spirit and passion.” The entire article is also available online at www.laprensa1.com LA PRENSA SALES: CLEVELAND 216-688-9045 • TOLEDO 419-870-2797 • DETROIT 313-729-4435 • LORAIN 440-320-8221 La Prensa Octubre 24, 2014 BGSU to host Latino issues conference, book reading By Kevin Milliken, La Prensa Correspondent Hispanic Heritage Month ence will be folofficially may be over for lowed by a Latino another year, but Bowling night social and enGreen State University will tertainment, 6 to 8 still get in the act when it p.m. host its 21st annual Latino Meantime, a Issues Conference on Thurs- pair of BGSU proday, Oct. 23, 2014. fessors will read The day-long event will from their recent feature a town hall meeting works in both Enfor the community to en- glish and Spanish gage in a dialogue about the night before the immigration featuring a conference.

Brown and Ms. Kaptur both lamented the need for even more funding for other causes of Lake Erie pollution, which also contributes to algae blooms. Brown pegged the cost at properly fixing sewage overflows across northern Ohio at more than $1 billion. “We need to address the problem of combined sewer overflow better than we have. It’s an enduring problem and a persistent problem as we starve infrastructure in this country,” Sen. Brown said. “We don’t do enough on combined sewer overflow, especially in small town Ohio.” Ms. Kaptur stated there are two dozen to three dozen combined sewer overflow problems that need funding in northern Ohio alone. She lamented that it took her 15 years to successfully fight to receive funding for just one project. Ms. Kaptur also noted the absence of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from the cooperative tone of the press conference, calling on the federal agency to stop the practice of open lake dumping of dredging material. Scientists have stated the practice stirs up phosphorus that has settled along the lake bottom, contributing to the algae bloom problem along with the other possible causes. Ms. Kaptur and Rep. Bob Latta (R-Ohio Fifth District) are backing a bill that would ban open lake dumping. “That should drive the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers nuts—good,” said Ms. Kaptur. “We need to think about to deal with that dredging material. It is a major question what we do with it and the solution is not cheap, but it’s part of a broader plan Page 8 La Prensa FLOC continues to pressure R.J.

A report released Wednesday by Human Rights Watch claims that children as young as 7 are sometimes working long hours in fields harvesting nicotine- and pesticidelaced tobacco leaves under sometimes hazardous conditions. Most of what the group documented is legal, but it wants cigarette makers to push for safety on farms from which they buy tobacco. Human Rights Watch details findings from interviews with more than 140 children working on farms in North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia, where a majority of the country’s tobacco is grown. “The U.S. has failed America’s families by not meaningfully protecting child farmworkers from dangers to their health and safety, including on tobacco farms,” said Margaret Wurth, children’s rights researcher and co-author of the report. Human Rights Watch met with many of the world’s biggest cigarette makers and tobacco suppliers to discuss its findings and push them to adopt or strengthen policies to prevent the practices in their supply chains. The companies say they are concerned about child labor in their supply chains and have developed standards, including requiring growers to provide a safe work environment and adhere to child labor laws, the group said. “This report uncovers serious child labor abuses that should not occur on any farm, anywhere,” André Calantzopoulos, CEO of Philip Morris International Inc., the world’s second-biggest cigarette seller, said in a statement. “More work remains to be done to eliminate child and other labor abuses in tobacco growing.” Altria Group Inc., owner of the nation’s biggest cigarette maker, Philip Morris USA, said it wants suppliers to follow the law. But Altria spokesman Jeff Caldwell also said that restricting tobacco work to people 18 and over “is really contrary to a lot of the current practices that are in place in the U.S. and is at odds in these communities where family farming is really a way of life.” About 736,500 children under 18 were reported to have worked on U.S. farms in 2012, but there are no figures for children working on tobacco farms, according to the federally funded National Children’s Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety. Less than 1 percent of U.S. farmland grows tobacco, according to the 2012 Census of Agriculture. According to the Human Rights Watch report, U.S. agriculture labor laws allow children to work longer hours at younger ages and in more hazardous conditions than children in any other industry. With their parent’s permission, children as young as 12 can be hired for unlimited hours outside of school hours on a farm of any size. And there’s no minimum age for children to work on small farms. In 2011, the Labor Department proposed changes that would have prohibited children under 16 from working on tobacco farms, but they were withdrawn in 2012. Nearly three-quarters of the children interviewed in 2012 and 2013 reported vomiting, nausea and headaches while working on tobacco farms. The symptoms they reported are consistent with nicotine poisoning often called Green Tobacco Sickness, which occurs when workers absorb nicotine through their skin while handling tobacco plants. Those interviewed, many of whom were children of Latino immigrants but were often U.S. citizens themselves, also reported worked long hours, often in extreme heat, without overtime pay or sufficient breaks and wore no, or inadequate, protective gear. “The conditions are inhumane and they should improve them,” said 17year-old Erick García, of Kinston, North Carolina, who has been working in tobacco fields since he was 11. His parents were also farm workers, and he started working with them to help the family earn more money. Additionally, García said kids should primarily focus on school and shouldn’t be in the fields: “That’s not a place for children,” he said. Republican Kentucky state Sen. Paul Hornback, who started worked in tobacco fields when he was 10 and now farms about 100 acres of tobacco in Shelby County, Kentucky, said he adheres to federal regulations to keep his workers safe but doesn’t believe further restrictions are needed. “People get pretty extreme about trying to protect everybody from everything,” Hornback said. “It’s hard manual labor, but there’s nothing wrong with hard manual labor.” Editor’s Note: This article was published on page 2 of the May 23, 2014 issue of La Prensa but is important enough to be re-published especially in light of FLOC’s efforts to eliminate such child labor in the tobacco fields.

As the situation evolves, the CDC guidance may change. We will continue to work to keep everyone informed. The Wood County Health District has met and will continue to meet with public health partners, including the Wood County Hospital, Wood County Emergency Management Agency, BGSU and other agencies and organizations, to discuss potential scenarios and response plans. The Health District has taken an active role in seeking and sharing the latest information with our part- ners, including sharing the latest screening guidance with area physicians’ offices and the Wood County Hospital. The Health District is also working on sharing guidance with Wood County EMS, Law Enforcement and other First Responders. The CDC information states that the virus is transmitted by blood and body fluids or items that have contacted blood or bodily fluids of a person sick with Ebola. People are not able to spread the virus until they begin showing symptoms. Flu season is approaching so there will be people with fevers and some symptoms that are similar to those of Ebola but the important point to remember is that people who have traveled to certain countries in West Africa, healthcare providers who have treated Ebola patients and others in close contact with Ebola patients are at the highest risk of getting sick because they may come in contact with the blood or body fluids of the Ebola patient. There are no active Ebola cases in Ohio. Based on the current CDC guidance, healthcare workers and first responders are advised to treat people they suspect as having Ebola virus as they would with other potentially infectious diseases that are spread through body fluids such as HIV or Hepatitis. This is a good time for health care employees and first responders to review their response plans, update any screening tools, refresh blood borne pathogen training, and review proper methods of putting on and taking off personal protective equipment such as masks and gloves and to practice proper use of personal protective equipment.
