“The fight is neverabout grapes or let-tuce. It is alwaysabout people”.These were the wordsasserted by civilrights leader CésarChávez during then e v e r - e n d i n gstruggle to attain so-cial justice forA m e r i c a ’ sfarmworkers. LikeMartin Luther KingJr., Chávez heldtightly to the corevalues of non-vio-lence, human dig-nity and courage ashe brought attentionto the plight of farm work-ers across America.
Chávez’s efforts to im-prove the treatment, wagesand working conditions forfarm workers has had aripple effect extending farbeyond the Southwest cor-ner of the United States.Ohio’s migrant and sea-sonal farm workers havealso benefitted from thesocial movement, and theycontinue to contribute toOhio’s growth and eco-nomic success. Together,Ohio’s farmers and farmworkers have made foodproduction and agriculturethe leading industries inOhio.
While the struggle for
justice for farm workers inOhio and across the UnitedStates is far from over, Chávezand his team made importantstrides toward equity andhelped pave the way for oth-ers to take up the cause.
In Ohio, the Farm LaborOrganizing Committee(FLOC), Advocates for Ba-sic Legal Equality (ABLE),and many others have ac-cepted the challenge to ad-vocate for a workforce that isvulnerable to exploitationand remains largely voice-less and invisible to main-stream society.
Mr. Chávez deserves therespect and formal recogni-tion of his contributions toAmerica, as other important
leaders in our nationhave earned. TheOhio Latino AffairsCommission wasproud to join forceswith State SenatorCharleta Tavaresduring this currentGeneral Assembly tointroduce Senate Bill11, which would for-mally designateMarch 31st, Chávez’sbirthday, as “César E.Chávez Day” in Ohio.
The states of Ari-zona, California,Colorado, Michi-gan, Nevada, RhodeIsland, and Texas al-
ready formally recognizeMarch 31st as César ChávezDay, and the State of Ohioshould also acknowledgeand honor the contribu-tions of America’s most rec-ognized Latino civil rightsleader.
César Chávez reflectsthe American values of lib-erty and justice for all, andhas left behind a legacy thatcontinues to inspire theworld. The Ohio LatinoAffairs Commission urgesOhio’s Governor and Gen-eral Assembly to formallyrecognize the contribu-tions and leadership ofCésar Chávez each year bynaming March 31st as CésarE. Chávez Day.
César Chávez Deserves Formal RecognitionBy: Andrea Magaña Lewis, Ohio Latino Affairs Commission
Honoring César Chávez
César Estrada Chávez was a civil rights activist who cofounded theUnited Farm Workers [UFW] and who came to Ohio and Michigan areasnumerous times to support the civil rights efforts of Toledo’s BaldemarVelásquez of the Farm Labor Organizing Committee [FLOC] and others.His birthday is March 31st and he died at the age of 66 in April of 1993, 25years ago.
In honor of Mr. Chávez, La Prensa and numerous groups will be hosting/promoting a 500-word essay contest. The contest deals with the question:
“How would civil rights activist César Chávez view today’s polar-ized political climate and anti-immigrant rhetoric and what would hisremedies be?”
Remedies are important in light of the nonviolent #MeToo and #NeverAgainmovements.
The contest was announced at WTOL11/FOX36 broadcasts on February26 and March 26, 2018 on “Your Day” with interviews by Amanda Fay ofWTOL11/Fox36. José Luna, Josh Flores, and Rico of La Prensa wereinterviewed.
The essays are to be less than 500 words and submitted via email [email protected] or [email protected] by April 30, 2018.Questions? Call Adrianne at 419-87-2797. In the photo are José Luna, JoshFlores, and WTOL’s Amanda Fay.

DETROIT: El pasadoviernes 16 de marzo se llevó acabo con gran éxito, laconferencia en español:“Ciencia sin Fronteras”, enel Centro de Estudios Latinosy Latinoamericanos de WayneState Unversity, en donde secontó con la presencia del Dr.Luis Flores Castillo quien esparte del equipo que ganó elpremio Nobel de Física en2014 en el laboratorio CERNde Suiza. Así como, Cristóbal“el Chico Partículas” quienganó el premio juventud 2014e hizo un excelente trabajocon muchachos en la sierra deMéxico.
Dicho evento fueorganizado por la Red GlobalMX Capítulo Detroit,conformada por distintasorganizaciones comoAPROMEX, EXATEC Michi-gan, Friends On Board yODPMM. El invitado especialfue el Cónsul de México enDetroit, Fernando GonzálezSaiffe, quien dio la bienvenidaa los invitados y dirigió unmensaje a la comunidad demexicanos en Michigan.
El Dr. Luis Flores presentóla ponencia: La ciencia delProyecto Manhattan, endonde destacó los alcances yel procedimiento para hacerciencia, mientras queCristóbal Miguel GarcíaJaimes se encargo del tema dela divulgación. “Tengo unpersonaje registrado enMéxico que se llama el ChicoPartícula y una caricaturistaestá interesada en llevar alpersonaje a un comic paradivulgar ciencia”, comentóCristóbal en entrevistaexclusiva para La Prensa.
Cabe destacar que Cristóbales conocido como el ChicoPartícula ya que durante unaentrevista, le preguntaron porsu twitter y se le ocurrió en esemomento dar ese apodo comonombre de usuario. “Soyjoven, tengo 22 años y megustan las partículas. Algunoscompañeros en forma de bromacomenzaron a llamarme así yme he quedado con eseseudónimo que ahora se
convierte en un persona dedifusión de ciencia”, agregóel entrevistado.
A los 17 años, cuando aúnestudiaba en Prepa 6 de laUNAM, Cristóbal comenzó aconstruir un acelerador departículas bajo tutela del doc-tor Efraín Chávez Lomelí, delInstituto de Física. Como suscompañeros de plantel lo veíanpasar con material que parecíadestinado al basurero y que élcolocaba con paciencia en elhueco de un tubo translúcidocomenzaron a llamarlo “el locodel pasillo”, pero cuando echóa andar su aparato yconstataron que funcionaba,dicho apodo cambió por elChico Partículas.
Todo esto pasó pocodespués de que el joven dejarasu natal San MiguelTotolapan, Guerrero para ir ala Ciudad de México a estudiarla carrera de Física en laUniversidad NacionalAutónoma de México(UNAM), en donde creó elacelerador de partículas másbarato del planeta, con uncosto aproximado de menosde mil pesos ($55USD). Dichoaparato es de poco más demedio metro de longitud,mientras que el de laOrganización Europea para laInvestigación Nuclear(CERN) tiene 27 kilómetrosde circunferencia y disponede mil millones de dólares alaño para operar.
Gracias a esto, el joven fueconsiderado uno de los 200líderes del mañana por elComité Internacional deEstudiantes e invitado a Suizapara participar en el 47Simposio de St. Gallen dondeconvivió con premios Nobel,directores de grandescompañías y dirigentes deorganizaciones como la ONU.
Posteriormente presentóun proyecto en la ONU queconsiste en recuperarcomputadoras en la zonametropolitana de la Ciudadde México y llevarlas a laszonas marginadas Guerrero,en donde enseñanprogramación a niños y
jóvenes de entre 8 a 17 años.Gracias a dicho programa, sedesarrollo un chaleco paraciclista con acelerómetro quepermite prender lasintermitentes en la espaldacuando la persona va girar a laderecha o izquierda y así avisara los conductores de los autos,que va dar vuelta la persona.
“Me siento muy contento,emocionado, fascinado y muysatisfecho de poder estar porprimera vez en Michigan, es lacuarta vez que viajo a estepaís. Cuando solicité porprimera vez mi visa no me ladieron y ahora estoy aquí”,comentó Cristóbal. “Es unplacer compartir el escenariocon el Dr. Flores”. Durante suprimer viaje internacional en2015 a Ginebra, el ChicoPartícula conoció al Dr. LuisFlores quien de inmediato seofreció para ser su tutor enSuiza y con quien trabaja desdeentonces.
El Dr. Luis Flores Castilloes egresado de la carrera deIngeniería en Computación dela Universidad NacionalAutónoma de México; tieneuna maestría en IngenieríaEléctrica con especialidad enRedes Neuronales en laDivisión de Estudios dePosgrado de la Facultad deIngeniería de la UNAM yMaestría y Doctorado en Físicapor la Universidad de Pitts-burgh, Pennsylvania. Hizo suinvestigación doctoral en elFermi National AcceleratorLaboratory (Fermilab) deEUA, sobre los tiempos de vidade los mesones B, en elcontexto de la medición de laasimetría entre materia yantimateria.
Al terminar el doctorado, seincorporó al grupo deinvestigación de la ProfesoraSau Lan Wu, de la Universidadde Wisconsin; este grupo esreconocido como uno de losmás competitivos y másproductivos en la colaboraciónATLAS (Aparato Toroidal delGran Acelerador de Hadrones)de la CERN en Suiza. El Dr.Flores trabajó primero comoinvestigador postdoctoral,
luego como Assistant Scien-tist y finalmente como DeputyGroup Leader de esteprestigioso grupo.
En la colaboración ATLAS,el Dr. Flores Castillo participóen el descubrimiento delBosón de Higgs o bienconocido como la “Partículade Dios” 2012. Es un tipo departícula elemental que se creetiene un papel fundamentalen el mecanismo por el que seorigina la masa en el Universo.A este mecanismo se leatribuye la propiedad de atraery mantener juntas al resto departículas elementales queconforman la materia visible
del Universo y es “una partecentral” del llamado ModeloEstándar de la Física, unconjunto de reglasmatemáticas que permitenentender cómo todas laspartículas interactúan entre sí.
Por su trabajo en el CERNy por su papel en eldescubrimiento del Bosón deHiggs, la Sociedad Mexicanade Física le otorgó el Premio ala Investigación Científica2012. Actualmente es ProfesorAsistente en la UniversidadChina de Hong Kong, dirige elequipo de Física de AltasEnergías de esta universidaden el CERN, y es miembro del

OBITUARIESCAROLINA RODRIGUEZ ABALOS
Carolina Rodríguez Abalos was welcomed to heaven by herhusband of fifty-seven years, Anastacio B. Abalos, parents: Juanand Rosario Rodríguez; grandchildren: Marcos Lucio and TammyAbalos; and great-grandchildren: Ashlynn and Mathias Abalos.

Born December 29, 1929, in Orange Grove, Texas, Carolinawas the oldest of eight children. Coming from humble means, shelearned early the value of hard work and the importance of faith, family and friends. She made sureto instill this in all her children. To say she was selfless and caring is an understatement.
She always went way beyond when it came to helping others, even if they were strangers. Hergenerosity at one time was recognized by the Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Detroit office ofHispanic Affairs, where she and her husband were awarded the Juan Diego award for their helpwithin the community. She was a true champion for the underdog, the unloved and the unlovely.
Carolina loved her church, and had a healthy reverence and respect for the Virgen de Guadalupe.In addition, she volunteered for many years at the annual St. Joseph’s Erie Labor Day festival. HerMexican food was enjoyed by many and helped to raise many funds for the church.
She is survived by forty-seven grandchildren, ninety-four great-grandchildren and twelvegreat-great grandchildren; siblings: Roberto (Sara) Rodríguez, Marcelino (Elena) Rodríguez,Julio (Jeannie) Rodríguez, Nicolas (Juanita) Rodríguez and Gloria Walters.Deceased siblings are Juan Jr. (Maria) Rodríguez, Nicolasa (Daniel) Ramos, and brother-in-lawRobert Walters.
Dementia has a terrible way of changing one’s life, but as her disease progressed, she waslovingly cared for by Alicia and Roy Lucio so that her final years were as good as anyone couldask for. Special thanks to ProMedica Hospice of Monroe, and the wonderful caregivers atProMedica Skilled Nursing facility in Monroe.

During the week of March11-15, 2016, farmworkers fromImmokalee, Florida and alliesfrom around the country cametogether in New York City todemonstrate against sexual vio-lence in the fields. Students andallies from Ann Arbor, Colum-bus, and Cleveland arrived onWednesday to support almost100 farmworker fasters in mid-town Manhattan.
Members of the StudentFarmworker Alliance (SFA) atThe Ohio State University andother universities are committedto supporting the fight led by theCoalition of Immokalee Work-ers (CIW) to boycott Wendy’suntil the corporation agrees tosign the Fair Food Program—aprogram that is widely recog-nized as the only human rightsmonitoring program to have suc-cessfully eliminated forced laborand sexual assault in the agricul-tural industry.
On the fifth day of the fast,over 2,000 allies joined thefasters in Manhattan to protest
in the “Time’s Up Wendy’sMarch,” which ended in front ofTrian Partners, a hedge fundinvestment firm in Manhattan.Trian was the focus of the action,because Nelson Peltz is the CEOthere and he is the single mostimportant decision-maker forWendy’s, as the company’s larg-est shareholder and the Chair-man for the board of directors.
The Time’s Up march is inunison with the #MeToo move-ment: Time is up for corporateleaders, like Mr. Peltz, whohave the power to end sexualviolence against women intheir supply chains, and yet,do nothing.
The march was in signatureCIW fashion, full of bright col-ors, music, and larger than lifepuppets. Fasters and their chil-dren led the front of the marchwhile allies brought up the rear,demanding justice with joy andconviction. We ended with abeautiful nighttime ceremonywhere fasters broke bread to-gether and celebrated another
chapter in The Campaign forFair Food narrative.
One of the most powerfulcalls and responses that endeach action goes like this:“Tienes hambre?” and thecrowd fires back “¡Qué es eso!”followed by: “Estáscansado?”—once more thecrowd roars back: “¡Qué es eso!”even louder. This chant speaksto the unwavering core of themovement; we are hungrier forjustice than for food or sleep.We will not stop showing up onWendy’s doorstep until ourdemands are met.
As we boarded the bus backto Ohio after the ceremony, theair was full of exhaustion andsatisfaction. Waking up inCleveland, students and alliesparted ways with new friend-ships and reinforced energy forthe campaign.

CLEVELAND: Threetechnology giants — Apple,IBM, and Microsoft — arepartnering with CuyahogaCommunity College (Tri-C®)on a series of initiatives aimedat attracting and training newtalent for the IT field. Thecompanies are working withthe College to help fill a glar-ing workforce need formiddle-skill jobs that requiremore than a high school di-ploma but less than abachelor’s degree.
“That is a key reason whythese partnerships are signifi-cant for Northeast Ohio,” saidMonique Umphrey, vicepresident of workforce inno-vation and dean of the Infor-
gineering and informationtechnology. Plans also in-clude areas for tutoring andother student support ser-vices.
The project will expandupon learning opportunitiesavailable at the site and ful-fill the original vision forWestshore Campus, whichopened in 2011.
The campus posted recordenrollment numbers this aca-demic year, with double-digit percentage increases forboth fall and spring semes-ters. The registration surgepushed the student popula-tion at the campus to nearly2,200.
Construction of the newCampus Center and relatedrenovations to the existingbuilding should be completeby fall 2019. WestshoreCampus is located at 31001Clemens Road in Westlake.
Voter approval of Tri-C’sbond issue request in No-
vember made the projectpossible. Approval of Issue61 raised $227.5 million forthe College to create newinstructional space, keeppace with changing tech-nology and address decadesof wear and tear on build-ings.
The Westshore expan-sion is one of several con-struction projects launch-ing this year. In January,the College held agroundbreaking ceremonyfor the new Western Cam-pus STEM Center.
Work also will begin thisyear at the Advanced Tech-nology Training Center inCleveland, the PublicSafety Training Center inParma Heights and the Au-tomotive Technology Cen-ter at Western Campus inParma.

WASHINGTON, D.C.,March 22, 2018: Congress-woman Marcy Kaptur (OH-09), Co-Chair of the HouseGreat Lakes Task Force, is-sued the following statementafter news that the State ofOhio will declare the openwaters of Lake Erie impaired.
“I welcome this long over-due decision by the state ofOhio. As I have said manytimes, anyone can look out atthe now annual progressionof green slime and tell youthat the water is ‘impaired,’”said Rep. Kaptur. “The bigquestion now is; how quicklythe state will move to meetthe reduction goals? I hopeto see strong and swift actionto reduce nutrient runoff and
other contributors to this eco-logical challenge.”
The announcement comesafter a January, 2018 move bythe U.S. Environmental Pro-tection Agency to withdrawapproval of the State of Ohio’sassessment of Lake Erie.
In November of 2016,
Kaptur and CongresswomanDebbie Dingell (D-MI)teamed up to send a letter tothe U.S. EPA urging them todisregard Ohio’s determina-tion and list the waters asofficially impaired. Kapturand Dingell reiterated thiscall last May.

Hispanic Happenings: GoldenGloves Boxing & Benefit DinnersBy Kevin Milliken, La Prensa Correspondent
WASHINGTON, DC,March 24, 2018 (AP): In ahistoric groundswell ofyouth activism, hundreds ofthousands of teenagers andtheir supporters rallied acrossthe U.S. against gun vio-lence Saturday, vowing totransform fear and grief intoa “Vote-Them-Out” move-ment and tougher lawsagainst weapons and ammo,especially automatics.
They took to the streets ofthe nation’s capital and suchcities as Boston, New York,Chicago, Houston, Minne-apolis, Phoenix, Los Ange-les, Oakland, Toledo, De-troit, Columbus, and Cleve-land, in the kind of numbersseen during the Vietnam era,sweeping up activists longfrustrated by stalemate in thegun debate and bringing inlots of new, young voices.
The photos taken in To-ledo on pages 1 and 16 in LaPrensa illustrate such “Vote-Them-Out!” mentality.
They were called to ac-tion by a brand-new corps ofleaders: student survivors ofthe school shooting in
Parkland, Florida, that left 17people dead on Valentine’sDay, Feb. 14.
“If you listen real close,you can hear the people inpower shaking,” Parkland sur-vivor David Hogg said to roarsfrom the protesters packingPennsylvania Avenue from thestage near the Capitol manyblocks back toward the WhiteHouse. “We’re going to takethis to every election, to everystate and every city. We’regoing to make sure the bestpeople get in our elections torun, not as politicians but asAmericans. Because this,” hesaid, pointing behind him tothe Capitol dome, “this is notcutting it.”
Organizers are hoping theelectricity of the crowds, theirsheer numbers and the under-18 roster of speakers will cre-ate a tipping point, startingwith the midterm congres-sional elections this fall. Tothat end, chants of “Vote-Them-Out!” rang through theWashington crowd.
Emma González, one of thefirst students from Florida’sMarjory Stoneman Douglas
High School to speak outafter the tragedy there, im-plored those of voting age tovote. In her speech, she re-cited the names of theParkland dead, then held thecrowd in rapt, tearful silencefor more than six minutes, thetime it took the gunman tokill them.
Student protesters calledfor a ban on high-capacitymagazines and assault-typeweapons like the one used bythe killer in Parkland andother school massacres, com-prehensive backgroundchecks, and a higher mini-mum age to buy guns.
¡Nunca Más!24 III 18: La “Marcha por
Nuestras Vidas”, quecomenzó desde tempranashoras en Washington, DCestuvo acompañada por másde 837 actos de protestadentro y fuera de EEUUincluyendo ciudades comoNueva York, Los Angeles,Chicago, Miami, Boston,Toledo, Cleveland, Colum-bus, Detroit, Grand Rapids, yMadrid.
