The League of UnitedLatin American Citizens(LULAC) demands an im-mediate recall and denun-ciation of one of the mostoffensive political adver-tisements in this alreadydivisive election season.

The advertisement, paidfor by the Republican StateLeadership Committee ofVirginia, uses a Spanish-speaking Chihuahua to de-humanize Ohio’s Latinocommunity and warns En-glish-speaking voters thatthey may have to learn Span-ish if Democrat ConniePillich beats RepublicanVirgil Lovitt in the race forOhio’s 28th district.

“We find the flyer of aChihuahua in a sombrerowith the words ‘Can youspeak Spanish? AyCaramba!’ extremely of-fensive and out of boundsfor any election,” saidLULAC National Presi-dent Rosa Rosales.

“What’s worse the ad-vertisement blatantly dis-

torts the truth by implyingthat Ohio voters will haveto learn Spanish if they don’tpass an English-only bill intheir state. LULAC demandsthe flyers recall and we areurging Republican officialsfrom the Republican Na-tional Committee to candi-date Virgil Lovitt himself todenounce the advertisementas offensive to Latinos andfactually incorrect.”

“In a time when Latinosare celebrating HispanicHeritage Month, it is shame-ful that a candidate woulduse these images to insultspecific nationalities in or-der to create a wedge issuefor the November elec-tions,” said LULAC OhioState Director JasonRiveiro.

LULAC National hascontacted the McCain Cam-paign and the RepublicanNational Committee andurged them to speak outagainst this offensive ad-vertisement distributed bya well-funded Republican

‘527’ political group. Ac-cording to the web siteCampaignMoney.com, theRepublican State Leader-ship Committee has raised$38,910,779 and spent$38,455,778. Their con-tributor list features hun-dreds of Fortune 500 com-panies.

“At a time when theAmerican tax payer hasbeen called upon to bailWall Street out of its fi-nancial crisis, the last thingthey want to see is thesesame companies fundingpolitical advertisementsladen with false and ra-cially offensive languageand imagery,” stated BrentWilkes, LULAC NationalExecutive Director. “Wewill be asking each andevery one of the Republi-can State LeadershipCommittee’s corporatedonors to cease support-ing the group and to de-mand that the group recalland apologize for theflyer.”

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico,Oct. 9, 2008 (AP): A ChineseMuslim locked up atGuantanamo Bay may soonbe granted an improbablewish: To move to the UnitedStates.

A federal judge this weekordered the man and 16 othermembers of an ethnic groupfrom western China freedfrom Guantanamo andbrought to his courtroom, butan appeals court lateWednesday gave the Bushadministration at least aweek to come up with argu-ments against the move.

Statements over the yearsby the Uighurs held atGuantanamo since 2002, re-viewed by The AssociatedPress, indicate they considerAmerica an ally but are an-gry they have been impris-oned for so long.

Guantanamo has beensteeped in controversy sincesuspected al-Qaida andTaliban members were firstsent to the base in Cuba inchains in January 2002. Hu-man rights groups and law-yers said people who hadnothing to do with eithergroup were swept up in theaftermath of 9/11, some soldto U.S. forces in Pakistan and

Afghanistan for bounties.The Bush administration in-sisted only the “worst of theworst” were taken toGuantanamo.

But even the U.S. govern-ment now says the Uighurs,from an ethnic group thatallegedly suffers repressionfrom the Chinese govern-ment, are not enemy com-batants.

The Bush administrationis unwilling to send themhome because they faceabuses in China, so it is try-ing to find other countries totake them. It says they’re toodangerous to “let loose” onU.S. streets because they al-legedly received weaponstraining.

In their statements to mili-tary panels at Guantanamo,the Uighurs said they leftChina to escape repressionor look for work becauseUighurs were denied goodjobs at home. They said thatif they felt hostility towardany country, it was Chinaand not the United States.

They have been held atGuantanamo alongside sus-pected al-Qaida and Talibanmembers.

“I want you to explainwhy I have been grouped in

with those terrorist people,”said Arkin Mahmud _ thedetainee who dreams ofmoving to the U.S. _ told aGuantanamo panel almostthree years ago. The Armycolonel presiding over theAdministrative ReviewBoard said his panel didn’tneed to explain whyMahmud was inGuantanamo.

Mahmud denied receiv-ing weapons training andlaughed when a soldier sug-gested he had plans to at-tack the United States. “No,of course not,” he re-sponded.

He did, however, ac-knowledge that he hadlashed out at Guantanamoprison guards.

“When a regular personis just doing his businessand ... then ends up in prison,that is frustrating and some-times you get mad,” he said.

“I would like for theUnited States to take me andI will stay there the rest ofmy life in peace,” Mahmudsaid, when asked what coun-try he would like to go to.

Rebiya Kadeer, presidentof the Uighur American As-sociation, said Uighur fami-lies in the Washington area

are willing to house the men.Brant Copeland, a pastorfrom Tallahassee, Florida,said in a conference call withKadeer and journalists thathis community is ready towelcome them _ even thoughhe hasn’t found anyone therewho speaks their Turkic lan-guage.

Mahmud told hisGuantanamo tribunal that hewas a shoe repairman andhad gone to Afghanistan insearch of his brother, who isalso among Guantanamo’s17 Uighurs. Uighurs are fromChina’s impoverishedXinjiang region borderingAfghanistan, Pakistan andsix other nations.

The brother, in a separatetribunal, acknowledged thathe had learned how to use aKalashnikov in Afghanistan.He told the panel that hesought independence for hisregion, which Uighurs some-times call “East Turkistan.”

“We need a country likethe U.S., like a powerful coun-try, to help us,” said BahtiyarMahnut, whose surname isspelled slightly differentlyfrom his brother’s in militarydocuments.

In 2002 _ after theUighurs were detained _ the

United States declared theEast Turkistan Islamic Partya terrorist organization amidintense lobbying from China.Several of the GuantanamoUighurs are accused of asso-ciating with the group.

Mahnut said China wantsto make the Uighurs look badand urged his military panelto “really look carefully” intothe issue. He also dismissedal-Qaida members as luna-tics.

“They just destroy every-thing and we’re not crazylike those people,” he said.

Abdul Razak, anotherUighur, said he left Chinabecause he couldn’t paydebts and went to Afghani-stan “to start a carpet or pos-sibly an animal skins busi-ness.”

He denied receiving mili-tary training.

“If I wanted the training Iwould get it to fight againstthe Chinese government,” hesaid, according to the tran-scripts reviewed by AP.“America has never hurt myfamily or my nationality.Why would I train to goagainst the U.S. govern-ment?”

He expressed frustrationthat his parents could not be

brought to testify that he hadgone to Afghanistan to lookfor work, adding that “myparents are probably suffer-ing now because of mydebts.”

The Air Force colonel pre-siding over the tribunal saidsuch testimony would havebeen irrelevant. Razak dis-puted that.

“My parents know whythey sent me out,” he said.“Did they send me to fight orto do business? They knowwhy.”

Chinese Foreign Minis-try spokesman Qin Gang tolda news conference this weekthat the Uighurs were terror-ists who should be returnedto face justice in China andinsisted they would not betortured.

In their appearances be-fore the Guantanamo pan-els, the detainees begged theAmerican soldiers not tosend them back to China,saying they would be tor-tured and executed there.

Mahmud said he wouldwant only his corpse re-turned.

“If I should die in here, Iwould like for you to sendmy dead body back to myfamily,” he said.

Sociedad MusicalUniversitaria (UMS)presenta al legendariovocalista brasileño MiltonNascimento con el TríoJobim en una actuación es-pecial que celebra los 50Años de la Bossa Nova, elsábado 18 de octubre del2008, a las 8p.m. , en elA u d i t o r i oHill de AnnArbor (825North Uni-versity Av-enue). Laextraordinariavoz y el genioc o m ocantautor deNascimentole hanconver t idoen uno de losmúsicos popb r a s i l e ñ o smás conocido de todos lostiempos.

Nascimento se presentarájunto con Trío Jobim, queincluye al hijo y al nieto delcompositor Antonio CarlosJobin reconocidointernacionalmente (“Lachica de Ipanema”). PauloBraga, el padre de lamoderna percusiónbrasileña que actuó y grabócon Antonio Carlos Jobimdurante más de 15 años,completa el trío. Juntos, conel invitado especial el bajistaRodrigo Villa, rendirántributo a 50 años de bossanova, la música creada porJobin a fines de los años1950 y descubierta pocodespués por los músicos dejazz estadounidenses, quese convirtiera en favorita enlos años 1960.

Nacido en Río de Janeiroen 1942, Milton Nascimentopasó su infancia en unapequeña población de MinasGerais, un estado al norte deRío. Allí estuvo expuestofrecuentemente a la música,en los ensayos de coro de suamdre, los festivales musi-cales locales, y la estación deradio local en la cual

trabajaba sup a d r e .Dotado deuna vozextraordinaria,Nascimentocomenzó sucarrera musi-cal a los 13años de edad,c a n t a n d oc a n c i o n e srománticas.Luego se unióal grupo Luarde Prata conWagner Tiso,cuya madre

era maestra de piano. En 1963y 1964, Nascimento actuócon el grupo W’s Bosy, en elcual los nombres de losintegrantes empezaban todoscon W: Wagner (Tiso),Waltinho, Wilson yWanderley, y que llevó a queMilton cambiara por untiempo su nombre a “Wilton”.

Más tarde Nascimento semudó a Belo Horizonte, lacapital de Mians Geraisdonde estudió economía. Allíconoció a músicos que seconvertirían en suscompañeros musicales alargo plazo: Márcio Borges,su hermano Lô Borges, yFernando Grant. Nascimentotocó en varias bandas y en1965 se mudó a Río deJaneiro para grabar con elgrupo Sambacana. Su golpede buena suerte llegó en 1966

cuando la cantante pop ElisRegina grabó una de suscanciones y le ayudó aganarse un espacio en unpopular programa de latelevisión brasileña. Pocodespués Nascimento actuóen el Festival Internacionalde la Canción de Brasil, quefue el lanzamiento de sucarrera musical de 40 años.Desde entonces Nascimentoha hecho numerosasgrabaciones, y ha producidodecenas de álbumesesenciales. Su álbumNascimento, de 1998 ganóel premio Grammy de“Grabación de Música delMundo del Año”.

Si bien Nascimento esmás conocido por lapromoción de la músicapopular de Minas Gerais suscanciones han emocionadoa audiencias en todo elmundo. A él se le acreditaque haya traído el sonidobrasileño a Estados Unidosdurante los años 1970,cuando grabó con herbieHancock y Wayne Shorterentre otros. Sin embargo lainfluencia de Nascimento vamucho más allá del mundode la música. Aunque sumilitancia política es menosconocida que la de suscompatriotas los músicosCaetano Veloso y GilbertoGil, Nascimento ha abogadopor los derechos de losnegros brasileños y haparticipado en las luchas porlos derechos de los nativos ala tierra.

La colaboración deNascimento con el Trío Jobincomenzó con el difunto com-positor de bossa nova Anto-nio Carlos Jobim (1927-1994), quien señaló queNascimento era el únicocantante capaz de cantar sus

canciones en sus clavesoriginales. Su relación fue tansignificativa que se haextendido a las próximas dosgeneraciones de la familiaJobim: el hijo y el nieto deAntonio, Paulo y DanielJobim, que forman el TríoJobim junto con elpercusionista Paulo Braga.Los músicos se reunieron elaño pasado en los JardinesBotánicos de Rio de Janeirodonde hicieron música enhomenaje a Antonio CarlosJobim. Su actuaciónespectacular condujo a lagrabación de Novas Bossa,

que salió a la venta el 30 deseptiembre de 2008.

TORONTO, Sept. 30, 2008(AP): Bill Maher has takenhis crusade against religionto the big screen.

Maher, who has beenpicking on organized reli-gion for years on his TVshows “Politically Incorrect”and “Real Time,” zealouslytraveled the world for“Religulous,” his documen-tary challenging the validityand value of Christian, Jew-ish and Islamic faiths.

Raised in a Roman Catho-lic household by a Catholicfather and Jewish mother,Maher decided at an earlyage that the trappings andmythology of the world’sreligions were preposterous,outdated and even danger-ous.

“Religulous,” directed byfellow doubter Larry Charles(“Borat: Cultural Learningsof America for Make BenefitGlorious Nation ofKazakhstan”), is intended toinspire similar skepticism inothers _ and perhaps get non-believers to talk more openlyabout their lack of faith.

“I’m not looking to forman anti-religion religion.That would defeat the pur-pose,” Maher said in an in-terview at the Toronto Inter-national Film Festival, where“Religulous” played in ad-vance of its theatrical releaseFriday. “It’s the nature of thepeople who are not believersthat they’re individuals,they’re individualistic. Theydon’t join and all lock armsand say, ‘We all believe thisand so it must be true be-cause we have strength innumbers.”’

The numbers Maher andCharles really hope to grabare general audiences sim-ply looking for a fun night atthe movies.

Maher, 52, who startedmocking religion back in hisearly standup comedy days,has no misconceptions that“Religulous” will shakepeople’s lifelong convic-tions to the core. He’s mainlylooking for laughs such asthose the film elicited fromthe enthusiastic crowd at itsToronto premiere.

“I was so gratified to fi-nally go to a screening withpeople last night and hearhow big the laughs are,”Maher said. “Because we setout to make a comedy. I al-ways said, my primary moti-vation was I’m a comedian,and this is comedy gold.

“When you’re talkingabout a man living to 900years old, and drinking theblood of a 2,000-year-oldgod, and that Creation Mu-seum where they put a saddleon the dinosaur becausepeople rode dinosaurs. It’sjust a pile of comedy thatwas waiting for someone toexploit.”

Charles shot 400 to 500

hours of material around theworld as Maher visited aChristian chapel for truckersin North Carolina, a gayMuslim bar in the Nether-lands, the Mormon Taber-nacle in Salt Lake City, andChristian, Muslim and Jew-ish holy places in Israel.

Maher meets with priestsat the Vatican, chats with rab-bis and Muslim scholars inJerusalem, encounters streetpreachers in London, andhangs out with the performerwho plays Christ in a cruci-fixion enactment at the HolyLand Experience theme parkin Florida.

They left Eastern religionssuch as Hinduism and Bud-dhism alone largely for bud-getary reasons, saying theextra travel and expandedscope would have made thefilm too unwieldy.

They also figured thatChristianity, Islam and Ju-daism were the trinity offaiths at the heart of Westernconflict.

Charles grew up Jewishand once considered becom-ing a rabbi but was discour-aged by his parents, who toldhim to “get bar-mitzvahed,get the checks and then getthe hell out,” he said. He saidhe now shares Maher’s posi-tion: Heavy on doubt aboutthe existence of a supremebeing, even heavier on cer-tainty that organized religionis hazardous to humanity’shealth.

“If I believe that Jesus isGod and you believeMohammed is God, then nomatter how tolerant we are, weare never going to meet,”Charles said. “All you have todo is push that one more step,then somebody’s like, ‘You’rein the way of people believingin Jesus,’ and ‘You’re in theway of people believing inMohammed,’ and the onlyanswer is to kill you.

Maher vs. God: ‘Religulous’flays organized faithBy DAVID GERMAINAP Movie Writer

“Unfortunately, that sortof thing dominates the reli-gious landscape, not theMother Teresas of the world.She becomes the aberration.... The altruistic wing of reli-gion has been minimized andthis militaristic, warmonger-ing fundamentalism has be-come the dominant pres-ence.”

Charles said he as-sembled the 100-minute filmfrom 14 hours of prime ma-terial. He has suggested todistributor Lionsgate that the14-hour cut could be editedinto half-hour segments andsold to television as a series.

Never one to soft-pedalhis own opinions, Maheropenly scorns remarks made

by Christians, Jews and Mus-lims he interviews. He hopesaudiences will laugh withhim, and that “Religulous”will stand as a testament forpeople who share his scorn.

“It is a sobering thoughtto think that the U.S. Con-gress has 535 members andthere’s not one who repre-sents this point of view, andyet there are tens of millionsof Americans who feel thisway,” Maher said.

“Comedians have alwaysmade jokes about religion.It’s a rich topic. I did when Iwas a young comedian, butthey weren’t jokes that gotright to the essence of it,which is, this is dangerousand this is silly.”

Antonio Barrios

It has been more than ayear since the Lorain Inter-national Association se-lected the city’s vibrantPuerto Rican community tobe the Spotlight communityfor the 2009 annual LorainInternational Festival & Ba-zaar to be held June 22-28,2009.

This week, a committeeof activists will be givingthe Puerto Rican commu-nity a wake up-call. “Theclock is ticking and we’vegot a lot to do in the shorttime that’s left,” says Anto-nio Barrios, chairman andco-founder of the PuertoRican Culture Committee(PRCC).

The group’s first com-munity meeting was heldon Oct. 14, 2008, at SacredHeart Chapel. “We hope toengage the Latino and non-Latino community in thiscultural celebration,” addsBarrios.

Each year the Lorain In-ternational Festival & Ba-zaar focuses upon the cul-tural heritage of one of thecity’s ethnic communities.2009 will mark the 40th an-niversary of the annualweek-long event, much ofwhich is held on the city’sBlack River Landing.

While numerous ethnicgroups make an annual ap-pearance at each annual fes-tival, it has been ten yearssince the Puerto Rican com-munity was the primary fo-cus.

The schedule of the 2009Festival will provide

Lorain’s Puerto Rican com-munity with a unique oppor-tunity to showcase its accom-plishments through an arrayof entertainment and speak-ers, explains Barrios.

Barrios said the non-profit group has alreadyreached out beyond LorainCounty to make contact withthe Puerto Rican communi-ties of Cleveland and NewYork.

He hopes to make con-nections with transplantedmembers of the NortheastOhio Puerto Rican commu-nity who are now living andworking in Toledo.

“We’ve also made con-tact with the president of thesenate of Puerto Rico andother officials from PuertoRico.

The Puerto Rican commu-nity comprises approxi-mately 20 percent of Lorain’spopulation of 70,124 mak-ing it the largest ethnic groupsin the city. Surprisingly, ithas been at least a decadesince the community wasspotlighted by the Interna-tional Association, says Bar-rios. During that decade, thecommunity has made manysignificant strides.

The community can traceits origins to the 1940s whenthe steel companies that oncedominated Lorain’seconomy began to recruitworkers in Puerto Rico fortheir mills. Unlike Toledo,where the majority of theLatino community is ofMexican heritage, the Latinocommunities of Lorain, and

to a lesser degree Cleveland,are comprised primarily ofthose of Puerto Rican descent.

In recent years, the PuertoRican community in Lorainhas begun to flex its politicalmuscles. Dennis Flores rep-resents the city’s SecondWard in City Council. Re-cently retired, Fred Lozanoserved on city council for 20years. La Prensa’s RubénTorres, likewise, served oncity council.

Ray Carrion serves as thecity’s Development Director;Richard Romero as deputysafety director in the currentadministration of MayorTony Krasienko.

This Latino representa-tion supplements Latino of-ficeholders Joel Arredondo,who is the current councilpresident, and David Flores,who has served on city coun-cil. Both are of Mexican de-scent.

According to RichardRomero, Chair of the OhioLatino Affairs Commission(formally, OCHLA), “I thinkit’s great that the Interna-tional Festival is spotlight-ing the Puerto Rican commu-nity in 2009.

“I am also proud of thefact that Lorain have tremen-dous leaders such as CelRivera, Mary Santiago, FredLozano, Mike Ferrer, JuanSilva, Rosie Reyes, NellieCaraballo, DaisyMaldonado, and VictorLeandry (just to name a few)who have talent, have builtstrong relationships, andhave a true commitment to

the Puerto Rican community.“We are one of the few

communities that still havean ethnic club, The PuertoRican Home Club. PresidentJuan Silva is truly a leaderwho wants to continue to pro-mote the Puerto Rican cul-ture in a positive light. ThePuerto Rican Home also hasboard members that workvery hard, and it is importantthat we support them. Thesuccess of the Puerto Ricancultural committee will be de-termined on how we all worktogether to put our best footforward.

“We also appreciate all ofthe support that the MexicanMutual Society has given tothe Puerto Rican commu-nity.”

Catch 22According to Barrios, the

Catch 22 of being honoredby the Lorain InternationalFestival & Bazaar committeelies in the fact that the com-munity being honored has toorganize and produce theprogram as well as foot thebill – and that even includesthe floats in the internationalparade. That’s what givesthe work of the PRCC a senseof urgency.

The PRCC has approxi-mately eight months to re-cruit new members from thecommunity as well as orga-nize the volunteers neededto work the Festival—andalso seek corporate and pri-vate funding.

“One source will certainlybe fundraisers,” says Barrios.

Lorain’s Puerto Rican community to be spotlighted in 2009 Lorain International FestivalBy Alan Abrams, La Prensa Senior Correspondent

But he is realistic enough torecognize the challenge heand the other members of thePRCC face.

“It’s a huge opportunityfor us, but we are the oneswho have to make it happen.It has to be a community ef-fort for the entire commu-nity. We have to let bygonesbe bygones and put our dif-ferences in the past. This is agood vehicle for us and wehave to make it a showcasefor our culture. We are theowners of it, and we have toshow our pride of owner-ship,” adds Barrios.

Presently, the core groupof the PRCC consists of Bar-rios, José “Pepe” Rivera,Lou Acosta, CouncilmanDennis Flores, VictorLeandry, Ray Carrion, andTito Rivera, all of whom areunpaid volunteers.

Barrios is working on sev-eral exciting possibilities forthe Festival week includingbringing a prestigious mu-seum-quality exhibition ofpre-Columbian art into theLorain public schools. “Theart represents the history ofthe original native popula-tion of Puerto Rico and is animportant part of our heri-tage. However, various is-sues such as security and in-surance will have to be re-solved before it can becomea reality,” he explains.

Barrios is also hoping tobring the current Miss PuertoRico Universe—IngridMarie Rivera Santos—toLorain, to crown thecommunity’s Festival Prin-

cess. And he would like tohave the President of PuertoRico’s Senate deliver theFestival’s keynote address.

“It is a matter of commu-nity pride. The majority ofPuerto Ricans in the com-munity are excited aboutplaying some role in the Fes-tival and seeing their com-munity spotlighted for theweek,” says Barrios.

“We will put on a greatshow,” he promises.

If you suspect child abuse or neglect, call 419-213-CARE (2273).

For more on what parents should know, visit www.lucaskids.net

Spanking isn’t against the law. But it’s not the best way to discipline your child.

Other strategies can be far more effective.

Ask yourself—is there something beyond the current situation—anxiety

about a family or school situation—that is making your child anxious?

Understand that before acting.

Give them a “time out” to settle down.

Take away privileges or a favorite toy.

Offer choices — “you can do this, or you can do that.”

Make sure your children understand why they are being disciplined.

Reassure them that you love them.

If you choose to spank your children, NEVER do so in anger. Your anger could

cause you to lose control, which could result in the child being injured. And,

while spanking is legal, injuring a child is not. It is abuse.

Even better, catch your kids being good and praise them for it.

UT Students to participate In Speed Recruitingevent Oct. 17

The University of Toledo(UT) hopes to inspire and at-tract more students from sixOhio urban communities withan innovative new scholarshipprogram that covers 100% tu-ition and general fees for aca-demically qualified studentsthat also have financial need.

Public school students inAkron, Cincinnati, Cleveland,Columbus, Dayton, and To-ledo can now attend UT forfree under the “UT Guaran-tee,” if they meet the follow-ing eligibility requirementsfor the Blue and Gold ScholarAward:

• Apply for admission byJan. 5, 2009.

• File Free Application forFederal Student Aid (FAFSA)by April 1, 2009.

• Display eligibility for aPell Grant.

• Minimum high schoolgrade-point-average of 3.0

Lawrence Burns, vicepresident for external affairs,says the UT Guarantee isabout more than just increas-ing enrollment and spread-ing the UT name. “Due totoday’s high cost of a collegeeducation, many high schoolstudents and their parentsdon’t think about it as a real-istic opportunity,” saidBurns. “We want to changethat mindset and get our ur-ban students to begin prepar-ing themselves for a univer-sity education when they’rein junior high school. We’vetaken financial need out ofthe equation.”

The UT Guarantee pro-gram is good for all fouryears, as long as its recipientsmaintain a 3.0 grade-point-

University of Toledo offers Toledo Public Schoolstudents 100% free tuition

average, complete 30 credithours each school year, andfile a FAFSA annually.
