The verdict on federalsentencing guidelines,which took effect on Nov. 1,1987: they’re not helping toease racial disparities.
A 15-year study by theU.S. Sentencing Commis-sion (USSC), released lastweek, finds that Latinos andblacks still receive harsherterms than white inmates.
The guidelines were de-signed to give federal judgesa range of possible punish-ments for a given crime andmake it more difficult to straybeyond the limits.
Among the study’s find-ings: The gap between sen-tences for blacks and whites
Tejanos inthe Bushadministration
Listed are some Tex-ans who are either serv-ing in, nominated for, orrecommended for high-profile Washington jobsby U.S. President GeorgeW. Bush: EduardoAguirre, Citizenship andImmigration Services di-rector; Dan Bartlett, as-sistant to Bush and WhiteHouse communicationsdirector; Antonio O.“Tony” Garza, Jr., U.S.ambassador to México;Alberto Gonzáles, U.S.attorney general nomi-nee; Ricardo Hinojosa,U.S. Sentencing Commis-sion chairman; AlphonsoJackson, Housing andUrban Development sec-retary; Clay Johnson, Of-fice of Management andBudget deputy director;Mark McClellan, Centersfor Medicare and Medic-aid services administra-tor; Scott McClellan,White House press secre-tary; Ken Mehlman, rec-ommended by Bush forRepublican NationalCommittee chairman;Harriet Miers, WhiteHouse counsel; JamesOberwetter, U.S. ambas-sador to Saudi Arabia;Benigno Reyna, U.S. Mar-shals Service director;Karl Rove, senior adviserto Bush; Margaret Spell-ings, Dept. of Educationsecretary nominee; andPatrick Wood, FederalEnergy Regulatory Com-mission chairman.
has widened. While blacksand whites received an aver-age sentence of slightly morethan two years in 1984, blacksnow stay in prison for aboutsix years; whites four years.
The results come as the U.S.Supreme Court considers theconstitutionality of the U.S.guidelines themselves, whichhave long been the subject ofbitter controversy.
On Nov. 21, the U.S. Senateconfirmed the appointment offederal judge Ricardo H.Hinojosa of McAllen, TX asthe chair of the USSC. Federaljudge Rubén Castillo, of Chi-cago, IL, is vice-chair of theUSSC.
Hinojosa has been amember of the U.S. Sentenc-ing Commission since Mayof 2003 and received a re-cess appointment as chairby Bush on August 2.Hinojosa has served on theU.S. District Court for theSouthern District of Texassince 1983.

Al cabo de dos horas y me-dia, la mayoría de los agentesque participaron en el operativoabandonaron la zona.Aseguraron que tres de losdetenidos participarondirectamente en la organizaciónde la matanza y que por lo menosuno de ellos sería acusado deencender el fuego que mató alos federales.
Durante todo el día, losprincipales canales detelevisión repitieronconstantemente la imagen deun joven, con la cara hinchaday ensangrentada, que trataba dedecirle a un periodista detelevisión que era un agentefederal encubierto. Momentosdespués, una turba lo quemóvivo junto con otro agente.
“Hay un ambiente deanarquía en esa zona, no es elprimer hecho... y lo que falta esuna actuación de orden, deautoridad y de gobierno”, dijoel miércoles a la prensa RamónMartín Huerta, secretario deSeguridad Pública federal, a
cuya dependencia pertenecíanlos agentes linchados.
Los agentes muertos fueronidentificados como VíctorMireles, de 49 años, y CristóbalBonilla, de 27. El tercero, EdgarMoreno, continúa en unaunidad de cuidado intensivo,con problemas cardiacos yrenales.

TEGUCIGALPA (AP), 24nov: El denominado GrupoLésbico Catracho (GLC) pidióel miércoles al congreso queautorice el matrimonio entremujeres en Honduras.
“No salimos a la luz públicapor temor a ser agredidas por lapoblación y por esopermanecemos en los clósets(escondidas)”, dijo en rueda deprensa la vocera del GLC, AdelaMartínez.
“Hay gran cantidad delesbianas que no dan la cara portemor a ser rechazadas odespedidas de sus trabajos, peroestán ansiosas por formalizar su
unión con otra mujer en formalegal”, añadió.
Martínez repartió miles dehojas volantes en el PalacioLegislativo de Tegucigalpa afavor del matrimonio lésbico.
Catracho es unadenominación usadapopularmente aquí comogentilicio de hondureño.
Pero la ConfederaciónEvangélica (CE), que agrupa amás de 180 iglesias del país,exigió al gobierno que deroguela autorización legal que otorgóhace tres meses a tresorganizaciones dehomosexuales en Honduras.Entre ellas no está el GLC.
Según los evangélicos, elestado violó la Constituciónpara beneficiar a loshomosexuales.
Por su lado, la vocera de laCE Colette Patiño criticó algobierno tras considerar que lanueva disposición afecta a lafamilia, el matrimonio, lamaternidad y la infancia.
Centenares de evangélicoshan marchado cuatro veces en
dos meses por San Pedro Sula,la principal ciudad de la costaatlántica de Honduras, yTegucigalpa.
El gobierno otorgó el 17 deagosto la personería jurídica alas agrupaciones ColectivoVioleta, Comunidad Gay yGrupo Gay Lésbico, que laexigían desde hacía 15 años.
Los líderes de esasorganizaciones han advertido,sin embargo, que darán aconocer públicamente losnombres de homosexuales queocupan importantes cargos enel gobierno y el empresariado,y que son figuras de la sociedad,en caso que la legislaturarevoque la ley que los favorece.
La iglesia evangélica estáformada en Honduras por másde un millón de simpatizantes.La población hondureña es de7 millones de habitantes.
En Honduras hay más de5.000 homosexualesagrupados en ochoorganizaciones, aunque elgobierno cree son unas 600.000personas.

Dr. Roy Church of LCCC, Cónsul Miguel Antonio Meza-Estrada, and U.S. Con-gressman Sherrod Brown at recent community meeting—photo by Antonio Barrios.
On the morning ofOct.30, twenty-three civicleaders came to greet Mexi-can Cónsul Miguel Anto-nio Meza-Estrada at LorainCounty Community Col-lege (LCCC). The meetingwas organized by LCCC’sLos Unidos for the expresspurpose of opening thedoors of communicationbetween the Mexican gov-ernment and the electedofficials of Lorain County.
Los Unidos is one of thelongest standing and mostrespected student organi-zations at LCCC. Its pur-pose is to promote and en-courage Hispanic/Latinoculture at LCCC. Its mis-sion is to help mentor His-panic/Latino students toensure their goal of stayingthe course and graduating.
Cónsul Meza-Estrada isbased in Detroit MI and hisarea of jurisdiction is thestate of Michigan and thenorthern Ohio. The Cónsulhas a working relationshipwith officials in numerouscounties, including Lucasand Cuyahoga counties,and was keenly interestedin developing a rapport inLorain County.
The meeting was orga-nized to facilitate theCónsul’s presentation ofthe official Mexican Con-sular ID card—la matrículaconsular—to be issued bythe consulates in the UnitedStates.
One of the purposes ofthis new ID card is to enableU.S. law enforcement offi-cials to confirm the iden-tity of the bearer of the cardfor emergency or investi-gative matters and for sup-plying a working immi-grant with a means of iden-tification that is valid herein U.S.
Cónsul Meza-Estradaexplained that the carddoes not circumvent anylaws in the U.S., nor autho-rize illegal immigrants.
The Cónsul stressed thereliability of the ConsularID, with its embedded ho-
logram and the vital back-ground check performed bythe Mexican governmentbefore issuing any ID card.The goal is to gain generalacceptance of the card in theU.S. for purposes such as iden-tification for obtaining driv-ers licenses (a practice al-ready in many cities) and foropening bank accounts.
The Cónsul noted that,according to the Federal Re-serve in the U.S., approxi-mately 20-million dollars aresent daily to México by work-ing migrants in this coun-try—money that could beput into the local U.S.economy, allowing immi-grants to open bank accountsand wire-transfer of fundsfrom the U.S. to México.
“The major reason for thebank accounts is that mostimmigrants pay a hefty fee tosend money back home. Oncethe money arrives in México,there are not enough autho-rized banks in the rural areas,so the family of the workersfall victim to shady exchangeoperations that can easilytake advantage of the people.One common practice, forexample, is to exchange theU.S. dollar at a lower rate andpocket the difference,” saidCónsul Meza-Estrada.
LCCC was chosen as themost common ground and aneutral meeting area for theencounter. Dr. Roy Church,the President of LCCC, wasvery cooperative and openedthe doors of the college tohelp promote this historicmoment.
Dr. Church said, “Thistype of event is in line withthe college’s Vision 21 state-ment.”
Vision 21 states the someof the goals/missions ofLCCC.
Dr. Church extended aninvitation to the Cónsul tomake LCCC a focal point forhis endeavor to promote theacceptance of the matrículaCónsular in Lorain County.
The meeting was a verypositive and fruitful encoun-ter; many guests had impor-
tant issues that needed tobe address.
The Cónsul was encour-aged by the response ofLorain County officialsand citizens who got in-volved in the discussions.
The first step has beentaken. It may be a long pro-cess but everyone at themeeting seemed confidentthat the proposal is worthyof consideration.
The invited guests arethe front line contacts forLorain County. Some of themost prominent civic lead-ers attending were:

HAVANA (AP): ChinesePresident Hu Jintao and tradeleaders agreed to an array ofbusiness deals with Cuba lastTuesday as the two nationsworked to strengthen theireconomic ties.
By the time Hu flew out ofHavana Tuesday night, hehad agreed to a $500 millioninvestment in the island’s keynickel industry and attendedtalks aimed at increasing Chi-nese involvement in Cubantourism and telecommuni-cations.
Hu, who came to Cuba ona personal invitation fromPresident Fidel Castro, flewin from the Asia-Pacific Eco-nomic Cooperation forum inSantiago, Chile. He also vis-ited Argentina and Brazil onhis first trip to Latin Americasince taking office in 2003.
Earlier Tuesday, Hu wasaccompanied by DefenseMinister Raul Castro, thepresident’s younger brother,at a forum of about 400 Cu-ban and Chinese businesspeople negotiating new tradebetween the ideological al-lies.
“Cuba is one of China’slargest commercial partnersin Latin America,” Hu toldthe gathering. “We sharecommon ideals allowing usto follow our own path ofdevelopment whatever theinternational situation maybe.”
Relations between the twonations were tense during theCold War, when the Carib-bean island was strongly al-lied with the Soviet Union,but warmed after the BerlinWall fell in 1989 and Cubalost its preferential trade andaid deals with the Sovietbloc.
In a ceremony Tuesday,Castro bestowed the JoseMarti Honorary Order on Hu.He stood up from his wheel-chair, for the first time pub-licly after shattering his knee-
ARIES: (March 21-April 20)Use whatever clout you have to get some creative
changes off the ground. Friends can really come in handyduring times like this. Someone may want to flirt and tellyou pretty lies, but don’t be taken in, just enjoy theentertainment. Pay attention to your spiritual side.
TAURUS: (April 21 - May 21)Keeping your nose to the grindstone is quite commend-
able this week, to a point. Your superiors may be moreimpressed is your approach is more balanced. Learn todelegate if management is one of your goals. Both courageand integrity will do well for you.
GEMINI: (May 22 - June 21)Your hard work may have just finally brought about
completion and success. Enjoy the admiration of thosearound you; you definitely deserve it. Spend wisely onany spree you find yourself on. Don’t keep your stress toyourself; such pent up emotions will make you ill.
CANCER: (June 22 - July 23)A little self-contemplation will get your week off and
running on a positive note. You may be pleased with yourwork up until now, but want to improve in various areas.Allow a troublesome problem that has been hanging overyour head for some time; take care of itself.
LEO: (July 24- August 23)There is a fine line between having a good time and
overdoing it, and your body is likely to be the best judgeof that this week, just make sure to listen. If your currentrelationship is a bit unbalanced, playing the roles tofaithfully may cause resentment.
VIRGO: (August 24 - September 23)Money matters may not be as fruitful as you had
expected this week, after all the effort you put into thesefinancial gains, try not to let it get to you. Maybe it’s timeto make changes instead of being weighed down with somuch responsibility. Think things out carefully.
LIBRA: (September 24 - October 23)Stick with those who have loved and supported you
through thick and thin. There is someone in the immediatevicinity that is jealous of your friends and family, and willtry to drive a wedge in between you and those you love.You need to make a choice.
SCORPIO: (October 24 - November 22)A slow start this week will make it a week of catching
up. Your heart is probably not in your work and it willshow. There seems to be some contradictions about com-mitment to a romantic relationship. There are importantfactors to be weighed before making decisions.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 - December 21)There is a sense that you are walking on quicksand
during the week, and there is little you can do about it.Make any necessary sacrifices of time and energy tocorrect this uncertain situation. You and your significantother make a connection and become even closer.
CAPRICORN: (December 22 - January 20)Don’t be caught up in your own ideas and point of view
that you cease to hear what those around you are saying.Let go of the need to always be right. You may be frustratedat what seems to be your lack of progress, but take the timeto realize just how far you’ve come.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 - February 19)You will get ahead by working hard during the week.
Nothing less than your reputation is at stake, but not toworry, because your work is above reproach. Shortly youwill be riding high on the waves of success, enjoy it for youdeserve every bit given to you.
PISCES: (February 20 - March 20)A financial windfall is quite possible this week. Pros-
perity is definitely a main issue for the next couple ofmonths, so instead of whining, it’s time to take action. Asurge of inspiration will enable you to do whatever needsdoing, and be innovative with solutions.
IF THIS WEEK IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: The thoughtof being free has always been important to you, and youmay invariably dream of escaping to another location.You can also travel in your mind by reading books orrenting videos. Unusual people you meet now may turnout to be inspiring.

Castro ended his com-ments by saying Cuba had“enormous admiration forthe legendary and revolution-ary China,” a country that isnow also Cuba’s third-larg-est trading partner.
China accounts for 10 per-cent of the island’s foreigntrade, trailing Venezuela andSpain.
The presidents looked onMonday as ministers andbusiness leaders signed 16agreements for China to pur-chase nickel and invest inprocessing and explorationfor the mineral.
Under the accords, start-ing next year Cuba will pro-vide 4,400 tons of nickelannually to China.
The agreements also callfor the $500 million Chineseinvestment in a new nickelplant in Moa, in the easternregion of Holguin, Cuba’sBasic Industry MinisterYadira García told reportersTuesday.
China also allowed Cubaa 10-year extension to repayfour interest-free loans pro-vided between 1990 and1994, during Cuba’s severepost-Soviet economic crisis.
China will also donate $6million to Cuban hospitals,as well as cloth for schooluniforms worth about an-other $6 million.
China also agreed to fi-nance 1 million televisionsets for the Cuban market.

CLEVELAND (AP): Lessthan six months since hisdeath, Ray Charles may bemore popular than ever with amovie about his life, a posthu-mously released album and anew museum exhibit.
“In all truthfulness, he’salways had pretty good popu-larity. But it’s extremely warmright now. It would be moreenjoyable if we still had himhere,” said Joe Adams,Charles’ friend and businessmanager of 47 years.
“The Genius of RayCharles” exhibit opened Nov.19 at the Rock and Roll Hallof Fame and Museum inCleveland.
Charles, 73, died June 10of liver disease. His final stu-dio recording, “Genius LovesCompany,” is an album ofduets that was released thisyear.
His successes include nu-merous hit records and awards.His troubles involve blind-ness since age 7 and drug ad-dition. His life story is told inmovie “Ray” starring JamieFoxx that is now in theaters.
A wide array of performers,including Stevie Wonder,gathered in September in Cali-fornia for a tribute concert,singing Charles’ hits such as“Georgia On My Mind,”“What I’d Say” and “Hit theRoad Jack.” Bill Cosby hostedof the event, which raisedmoney for the Morehouse
College Center for the Arts inAtlanta.
“There is clearly a great dealof interest now in his life and hismusic,” Rock Hall curatorHoward Kramer said. “He issuch an icon. People are learn-ing more about him, and thefilm is enlightening them as towho he was and the complexityof his life. The level of aware-ness makes people moreempathetic.”
Charles was part of the firstclass of Rock Hall inductees in1986, but the exhibit is the firstat the museum in his honor. Thedisplay became possiblethrough contacts Kramer hadwith Adams.
Kramer said that whileCharles was living “he wasn’tinterested in reflection, becausehe was too busy working.”
Charles memorabilia is onloan from his Los Angeles stu-dio/headquarters and includeselectronic keyboards, a saxo-phone, sunglasses, on-stagewardrobe items and a collec-tion of awards. The exhibit,expected to remain throughLabor Day, also includes videorecordings of his performances.
“Ray was very gracious foranything done for him,” Adamssaid. “He fussed about it, but heloved it. This would have beenmeaningful to him, definitely.He was among the first peopleinducted into the Rock Hall,and he was very honored bythat.”
John Edward Hasse, curatorof American Music at the Na-tional Museum of AmericanHistory, said it is not unusual
for the public’s fondness fora performer to surge afterdeath. But he said the inten-sity of interest in Charlesseems especially strong.
“Ray Charles was a singu-lar, creative artist who over-came great obstacles and pio-neered in the fusion of gos-pel, blues and jazz into a sig-nature style of music,” Hassesaid. “The combination ofhis passing, the release of ‘Ge-nius Loves Company’ andthe terrific film ‘Ray’ havecombined to raise publicawareness of Ray Charles toperhaps an unprecedentedlevel.”
Part of the Rock Hall dis-play is Charles’ chess board,and Adams said the gamewas one of his passions alongwith his music.
“He was an avid chessplayer, because it challengedhis mind,” Adams said. “Hefelt the pieces with his hands.He sometimes got so in-volved in a chess game hedidn’t want to go on stage.”

COLUMBUS, Ohio(AP): The intense rivalrybetween Ohio State andMichigan has gone to thedogs—bomb-sniffing ones.
Michigan coach LloydCarr is upset that Ohio Statesubjected the Wolverines’players and coaches tosearches by drug and bomb-sniffing dogs upon their ar-rival at Ohio Stadium onSaturday.
Carr vented about thesearch to reporters on Mon-day and said he wants theBig Ten commissioner tolook into what he calledharassment by OSU fanswho watched police dogstaking a whiff of everyplayer and their personalbelongings.
“If it’s going to be thegreatest rivalry in collegeathletics, which so many ofus believe it is, then I don’tthink it is too much to say,‘Let’s have great respect foreach other. Let’s treat eachother like we would want tobe treated,”’ Carr said. “Iguarantee you that the ath-letic director at Ohio Statedoesn’t want his son treatedthe way that they treatedour players.”
OSU athletic directorAndy Geiger, OSU assistantchief of police RichardAmweg and sports informa-tion director Steve Snappall contend Michigan wassubjected to the samesearch as other opponentswho played in Ohio Sta-dium this year.
“This is all controlledby homeland security. Ev-ery team that comes in ischecked,” Snapp saidWednesday. “Every teamwas absolutely checked.Penn State was also checkedby dogs because like Michi-gan, they got there late.”
Penn State and the otherthree OSU visiting oppo-nents _ Marshall, Wiscon-
sin and Indiana _ told The(Cleveland) Plain Dealer onTuesday that their playersweren’t searched by dogsupon exiting their team bus.
Brian Siegrist, assistantdirector of sports informa-tion at Penn State, saidWednesday that playerswere not sniffed by dogsbut equipment from theteam truck was before theteam arrived at the field.
Marshall University saidits locker room was sniffedby dogs but that playersbreezed into Ohio Stadiumon game day.
Other teams weresearched “they just didn’tknow it,” Geiger said.“They were searched at theirhotel. What happened inthis case was, Michigan waslate, and therefore it wassniffed and searched at thestadium.”
Carr said an Ohio Statepolice officer told him theathletic department was be-hind the sniffing.
“He said, ‘Coach, I wantyou to know that we wereonly following orders andthey were not the ordersgiven us by our superiors.’I said, ‘Well, who decided itthen?’ He said, ‘The ath-letic department,”’ Carrsaid.
Snapp denied that theathletic department hadanything to do with thesmell test.
“Our own team ischecked in a similar fash-ion every game so it’s notout of the ordinary,” Snappsaid.
Amweg said the decisionto use dogs was made by theOhio State Department ofPublic Safety. “It was not amandate of either state orfederal homeland security,”he said.
Ohio State won the game37-21, upsetting the No. 7-ranked Wolverines.

Vargas wins in first Pro bout Last Friday, at the Toledo Sports Arena, pugilist DevinVargas, 22, knocked out his opponent Adam Smith 2 min-utes and 33 seconds into the first round. This was his firstprofessional boxing match after his 2004 Olympics debutlast summer. His older brother, Dallas, 27, followed with awin in the seventh round against Tim Bowe. Smith, a three-time Toughman champion from Young-stown, had little chance against Devin, a 2000 Start HighSchool grad. Devin led Dallas into the ring. Devin, who was also the grand marshal to this year’sThanksgiving Day Parade in downtown Toledo, hopes thathis next pro fight will be in Toledo, seeing how enthusias-tic the 3,000-plus fans were. Shown above is Devin with his father Ray Vargas, whoalso serves as his trainer, manager, and mentor.
Felicidades Devin!

Azúcar is truly an interna-tional bakery and pastry shop.
The owners opened theirbusiness this year on the first ofSeptember. They wished tobring something new to thecommunity. They decided afterverifying that there was no in-ternational Latino type pastryshop in the city.
They conceived of the ideaafter longing for the goodiesthey would eat in New Jersey.Even their baker was recruitedfrom there. They taste testedthe popularity of some of theirrecipes before opening theirnew business. The test groupresults indicated they wouldfind a good reception and sothey have since the storeopened.
Carlos feels that the time isright to open this type of busi-ness in Cleveland. He sees thatthe city is growing. He notesthat are more Latinos than everfrom Central and SouthAmerica. During the weekPuerto Ricans shop, howeverduring the weekend there is agreater diversity of clientele.Customers are even driving infrom Mentor and Akron to buytheir favorite treats.
The couple is in agreementthat while they miss theirfriends, the greater variety ofservices, activities and shop-ping there is in New Jersey thatCleveland offers a better qual-ity of life for raising theirdaughter.
Grace said, “One lives bet-
Holiday treats(Continued from Page 1)
ter with less money in com-parison with New Jersey.”
Something that Sasha,Carlos and Grace’s daughter,missed very much were hergrandparents, Luís y GraceRosero, Grace Gutiérrez’s fa-ther and mother. Alittle whileback they moved from NewJersey to help out at the bakeryand to be near the belovedgranddaughter.
Grace confesses that thebakery is called Azúcar (Span-ish for sugar) because it’s themost common ingredient inthe pastries they prepare. Butalso, “Azúcar” was the signa-ture exclamation closely asso-ciated with her favorite singer,Celia Cruz. There is a photo ofthe singer on the wall of thebakery. Check it out when yougo to taste the internationalflavor of the bakery’s offer-ings.

Carlos opina que el tiempoes propicio para abrir este tipode negocio en Cleveland. Elve que la ciudad estadesarrollándose. Nota que seencuentran más hispanos decentro y sur América que antes.Los días de semana se ven máspuertorriqueños comprando,pero para los fines de semana laclientela es mucho más diversa.Inclusive ya vienen clientesque manejan desde Mentor yAkron para comprar susgustitos favoritos.
La pareja está de acuerdoque extrañan a sus amigos y lamejor variedad de servicios,actividades y “shopping” quehay en Nueva Jersey, pero queCleveland ofrece mejorcalidad de vida para criar a suhija.
Grace comentó, “Se vivemejor con menos dinero encomparación a Nueva Jersey.”
Algo que Sasha, hija deCarlos y Grace, extrañabamucho era sus abuelos, Luís yGrace Rosero, los padres deGrace Gutiérrez. Hace pocaellos vinieron de Nueva Jerseypara compartir el trabajo de lapanadería y estar con su muyquerida nieta.
Confesó Grace que lapanadería se llama Azúcarporque esa es la ingredientemás común en las delicias quepreparan. Adicionalmente,“¡Azúcar!” es la frase masasociada con su cantantefavorita, Celia Cruz.

million from the EducationDepartment to buy severalmansions, high-priced carsand other luxuries. His wasconsidered a particularly out-rageous act because the highschool dropout rate in PuertoRico, which has about700,000 students, hovers at50 percent.
With every indictment ofa top official, including hisdeputy chief of staff, Rossellóhas pleaded ignorance.
By law, the island’s StateElections Commission is re-quired to review all the tallysheets before it can officiallyproclaim the winner and anofficial result is not expecteduntil some time in Decem-ber.
Because this race is soclose, the tally review willprobably reveal a 0.5 percentor less margin of victory be-tween the winner and loser, atwhich point the loser canpetition for a recount.

Poster from 2003 Guadalupe Relay
U.S. Latino Catholics wel-comed the arrival of an inter-national torch relay honor-ing México’s patron saint, theVirgin of Guadalupe.
Thousands lined east coastroads starting last Thursday,Thanksgiving, when the re-lay reached the state of Geor-gia, one of its largest recep-tions in the United States.
About 5,000 runners aretaking turns carrying the torchover a 3,800-mile route thatstarted Oct. 10 in México City.The relay will end Dec. 12 inNew York City, when Mexi-cans commemorate the day in1531 when, according to leg-end, the dark-skinned virginappeared to Juan Diego andleft her image on his cloak.
“It’s a big and importantcelebration to the Hispaniccommunity,” said the Rev.José Duvan González of SanFelipe De Jesus Roman Catho-lic Mission in Forest Park.
The Rev. José DuvanGonzález of San Felipe DeJesus Roman Catholic Mis-sion in Forest Park was thefirst runner to meet the torchat the Georgia-Alabama bor-der near Columbus, where hepassed it off to 75 other run-ners from the mission whocarried the flame to metro At-lanta.
About 2,000 people gath-ered for the relay festivities athis church southeast of At-
lanta.The binational relay was
started by New York City’sTepeyac Association in 2001for Mexican immigrants whoweren’t able to celebrate theholy day by making a pilgrim-age to México City’s Basilica,as many Mexicans do.
“It’s very, very big becausethey have this for improvingthe faith—two countries di-vided by distance but unitedby faith,” said Olga Rodríguez,director of Hispanic ministryat St. Michael’s CatholicChurch in Gainesville, wherethe torch relay maked a stop.
The torch crossed the U.S.border at Brownsville, Texas,on Nov. 5, and has stops inLouisiana, Mississippi, Ala-bama, Georgia, South Caro-lina, North Carolina, Virginia,Washington D.C., Maryland,Delaware, Pennsylvania andNew Jersey.
At times, runners travel withlittle fanfare through quietfarm towns and areas with smallMexican communities, butthey’re expected to have athunderous reception whenthey reach Georgia, which hasthe U.S.’s fastest-growingLatino population.
Georgia organizers saythey’re hoping to draw at least30,000 people along the relayroute and to its scheduledstops in Forest Park, Smyrna,and Gainesville. The torch
moved on to Greenville, S.C.,on Sunday.
Large processions,celebratory Masses, and color-ful fiestas were planned alongthe 280-mile route throughGeorgia, where the symbol ofGuadalupe evokes deep emo-tions in some Catholics.
“There are some tears be-cause they feel something spe-cial when it arrives here,”Rodríguez said. More than1,000 people arrived for a relayMass in Gainesville, which wasmoved to an auditorium to ac-
commodate an anticipatedlarge crowd. About 20 percentof residents in surroundingHall County are Latino.
The relay also has taken ona political significance, andorganizers this year have ral-lied for the rights of undocu-mented workers and called onMexican lawmakers to grantmigrants in the United Statesthe right to cast absentee bal-lots in their home country’s2006 presidential elections.

The story ofJuan Diego &Guadalupe
December 12th is rapidlyapproaching. This day isrevered in many parts ofLatin America, andparticularly in México, andis known as the day of theVirgin of Guadalupe. Who is Juan Diego andhow does he relate to theVirgin of Guadalupe, thepatron saint of México, acountry that is over 85percent Catholic?
The story: Little is knownabout the life of Juan Diegobefore his conversion, butbasic tradition and succinctarchaeological sources,along with the mostimportant and oldestindigenous document onthe event of Guadalupe, “ElNican Mopohua” (writtenin Náhuatl with Latincharacters, 1556, by theIndigenous writer AntonioValeriano), give someinformation on his life. Juan Diego was born in1474 with the name“Cuauhtlatoatzin” (thetalking eagle) inCuautlitlán, today part ofMéxico City, México. Hewas a gifted member of theChichimeca tribe.

Judge Ricardo Hinojosa
The verdict on federalsentencing guidelines,which took effect on Nov. 1,1987: they’re not helping toease racial disparities.
A 15-year study by theU.S. Sentencing Commis-sion, released last week, findsthat blacks and Latinos stillreceive harsher terms thanwhite inmates.
The guidelines were de-signed to give federal judgesa range of possible punish-ments for a given crime andmake it more difficult to straybeyond the limits.
Among the study’s find-ings: The gap between sen-tences for blacks and whites
Tejanos inthe Bushadministration
Listed are some Tex-ans who are either serv-ing in, nominated for, orrecommended for high-profile Washington jobsby U.S. President GeorgeW. Bush: EduardoAguirre, Citizenship andImmigration Services di-rector; Dan Bartlett, as-sistant to Bush and WhiteHouse communicationsdirector; Antonio O.“Tony” Garza, Jr., U.S.ambassador to México;Alberto Gonzáles, U.S.attorney general nomi-nee; Ricardo Hinojosa,U.S. Sentencing Commis-sion chairman; AlphonsoJackson, Housing andUrban Development sec-retary; Clay Johnson, Of-fice of Management andBudget deputy director;Mark McClellan, Centersfor Medicare and Medic-aid services administra-tor; Scott McClellan,White House press secre-tary; Ken Mehlman, rec-ommended by Bush forRepublican NationalCommittee chairman;Harriet Miers, WhiteHouse counsel; JamesOberwetter, U.S. ambas-sador to Saudi Arabia;Benigno Reyna, U.S.Marshals Service direc-tor; Karl Rove, senioradviser to Bush; Marga-ret Spellings, Dept. ofEducation secretarynominee; and PatrickWood, Federal EnergyRegulatory Commissionchairman.
has widened. While blacksand whites received an aver-age sentence of slightly morethan two years in 1984, blacksnow stay in prison for aboutsix years; whites four years.
The results come as the U.S.Supreme Court considers theconstitutionality of the U.S.guidelines themselves, whichhas long been the subject ofbitter controversy.
On Nov. 21, the U.S. Senateconfirmed the appointment offederal judge Ricardo H.Hinojosa of McAllen, TX asthe chair of the U.S. Sentenc-ing Commission. Federaljudge Rubén Castillo of Chi-cago, IL is vice-chair.
Hinojosa has been amember of the U.S. Sentenc-ing Commission since Mayof 2003 and received a re-cess appointment as chairby Bush on August 2.Hinojosa has served on theU.S. District Court for theSouthern District of Texassince 1983.

Al cabo de dos horas y me-dia, la mayoría de los agentesque participaron en el operativoabandonaron la zona.Aseguraron que tres de losdetenidos participarondirectamente en la organizaciónde la matanza y que por lo menosuno de ellos sería acusado deencender el fuego que mató alos federales.
Durante todo el día, losprincipales canales detelevisión repitieronconstantemente la imagen deun joven, con la cara hinchaday ensangrentada, que trataba dedecirle a un periodista detelevisión que era un agentefederal encubierto. Momentosdespués, una turba lo quemóvivo junto con otro agente.
“Hay un ambiente deanarquía en esa zona, no es elprimer hecho... y lo que falta esuna actuación de orden, deautoridad y de gobierno”, dijoel miércoles a la prensa RamónMartín Huerta, secretario deSeguridad Pública federal, a
cuya dependencia pertenecíanlos agentes linchados.
Los agentes muertos fueronidentificados como VíctorMireles, de 49 años, y CristóbalBonilla, de 27. El tercero, EdgarMoreno, continúa en unaunidad de cuidado intensivo,con problemas cardiacos yrenales. Los médicos dicen quesu estado es grave, pero noesperan que muera aconsecuencia de sus lesiones.
When he was 50 years oldhe was baptized by aFranciscan priest, Fr Peterda Gand, one of the firstFranciscan missionaries. OnDecember 9, 1531, whenJuan Diego was on his wayto morning Mass, theBlessed Mother appearedto him on Tepeyac Hill, theoutskirts of what is nowMéxico City. She asked him to go tothe Bishop and to requestin her name that a shrine bebuilt at Tepeyac, where shepromised to pour out hergrace upon those whoinvoked her. The Bishop,who did not believe JuanDiego, asked for a sign toprove that the apparitionwas true. On December 12, JuanDiego returned to Tepeyac.Here, the Blessed Mothertold him to climb the hilland to pick the flowers thathe would find in bloom. Heobeyed, and although itwas winter time, he foundroses flowering. Hegathered the flowers andtook them to Our Lady whocarefully placed them inhis mantle and told him totake them to the Bishop asproof. When he opened hismantle, the flowers fell onthe ground and thereremained impressed, inplace of the flowers, animage of the BlessedMother, the apparition atTepeyac. With the Bishop’spermission, Juan Diegolived the rest of his life as ahermit in a small hut nearthe chapel where themiraculous image wasplaced for veneration. Here
he cared for the church andthe first pilgrims who cameto pray to the Mother ofJesus. Much deeper than theexterior grace of havingbeen chosen as Our Lady’s“messenger”, Juan Diegoreceived the grace ofinterior enlightenment andfrom that moment, he begana life dedicated to prayerand the practice of virtueand boundless love of Godand neighbor. He died in 1548 and wasburied in the first chapeldedicated to the Virgin ofGuadalupe. He wasbeatified on May 6, 1990by Pope John Paul II in theBasilica of Santa María diGuadalupe, México City. The miraculous image,which is preserved in theBasilica of Our Lady ofGuadalupe, shows a womanwith native features anddress. She is supported byan angel whose wings arereminiscent of one of themajor gods of thetraditional religion of thatarea. The moon is beneathher feet and her bluemantle is covered with goldstars. The black girdleabout her waist signifiesthat she is pregnant. Theimage graphically depictsthat Christ is to be bornagain among the peoples ofthe New World.

DEWITT, N.Y. (AP): FredHale Sr., documented as theworld’s oldest man, died Fri-day, Nov. 19. He was 113years old.
Hale died peacefully inhis sleep at The Nottinghamin suburban Syracuse, whiletrying to recover from a boutof pneumonia, said hisgrandson, Fred Hale III. Hewas 12 days shy of his 114thbirthday.
The world’s oldest liv-ing man is now HermannDornemann, of Germany,age 111. There are 26 livingwoman older than him, ac-cording to Gerontology Re-search Group, which moni-tors supercentarians.
Born Dec. 1, 1890, Halelast month watched his life-long favorite baseball team,the Boston Red Sox, win theWorld Series again after 86years. He outlived three ofhis five children. He hadnine grandchildren, ninegreat-grandchildren and 11great-great-grandchildren.
Hale retired 50 years agoas a railroad postal workerand beekeeper, his grand-son said. He enjoyed gar-dening, canning fruits andvegetables, and makinghomemade applesauce.
“He had a routine and herarely broke it because any-one else was around,” Hale
III said. “He didn’t need a lotto be happy.”
At age 95, Hale flew toJapan to visit his grandson,Chris Hale, who was in theU.S. Navy. While en routeback to the U.S., he stoppedin Hawaii. Donned in Ha-waiian-print shorts, Haletried to boogie board.
He was born in NewSharon, Maine, the sameyear as the Battle ofWounded Knee, when therewere only 43 stars on theU.S. flag. He married hissweetheart, Flora Mooers,before a justice of the peace,
who was also his father-in-law, in 1910. She died in1979 at 89.
After retiring, Hale workedfor his daughter, Carolyn, atLord’s Lobster Pound inMaine, shelling lobsters in themorning and steaming clamsin the afternoon.
He lived in his nativeMaine until he was 109,when he moved to the Syra-cuse area to be near his son,Fred Jr., now 82. At 103,Hale was still living on hisown and shoveling the snowoff his rooftop.

life, he ate a half spoonful ofhoney a day. He set theGuinness world record forthe oldest driver. At age 108,he still found slow driversannoying, his grandsonsaid.
“He was never one ofthose ones to dawdle,” hesaid.
Hale cut the cake at his113th birthday party. OnMarch 5, 2004, the GuinnessWorld Records acknowl-edged him as the oldest liv-ing man when JoanRiudavets Moll, of Spain,passed away at age 114.
KALAMA, Wash. (AP):Bob Mahaffey’s wallet isstuffed with a host of creditcards, plastic emblems of theworld he now inhabits. Whenhe was 18 in 1945, his walletwas also stuffed with cards,but like his military rationcard, all were made of paper.
That wallet—stolen fromhim 60 years ago—recentlyturned up and with it came awave of memories.
The caller who phonedthis October was so formal,inquiring after one Robert D.Mahaffey, that the 78-year-old retired logger figured itmust be a political pollster.
“I’m Spc. Acord at CampRoberts, California,” thecaller said.
“Yeah?” Mahaffey re-members saying. “I’ve beenthere.”
“I know,” Russell Acordreplied. “I’ve got your wal-let.”
It was the wallet Mahaffeylost when he pulled in $60 amonth working his waythrough 17 weeks of U.S.Army basic training at CampRoberts, according to a re-port published in The Orego-nian newspaper.
The camp, which sprawlsacross more than 42,000acres of grassy hills and dusty
parade grounds near PasoRobles in Central Califor-nia, was one of the world’slargest military training fa-cilities during World War II,housing 45,000 troops at itspeak in 1945.
When rickety old bar-racks were demolished, work-ers routinely found old wal-lets stashed in ventilationducts, where thieves wouldtuck them after extracting thecash.
That’s what RussellAcord, 39, found this fallwhen he was working secu-rity duty at the camp. “Deepinside the duct,” Acord said,“it looked like a wallet.”
To get it out, Acord re-turned to the abandonedbuilding armed with a chairand a long stick with a wireattached to one end. Hepushed the chair under theduct, climbed up and reachedthe stick toward a square ofbrown leather. Moroccangoat leather, to be precise.
Robert D. Mahaffey was apack rat. He had stuffed hiswallet with his 1944 draftcard, gas and cigarette ra-tioning cards, driver’s andfishing licenses, old paystubs, a one-way bus ticketand paperwork that would

TRENTON, N.J. (AP):Crossing signals that lastlonger and count down theseconds remaining areamong the new effortsaround the state aimed atpreventing elderly pedes-trians from being struckby cars.
Other communities arecreating safe “islands” inthe middle of roads to pro-tect stranded walkers andsome municipalities evenhave put up signs warningmotorists when they are inareas with senior walkers.
A recent report by thestate Department of Healthand Senior Services foundthat 96 New Jerseyans overthe age of 65 were struckand killed by motor vehicleswhile walking down thestreet in 2000 and 2001.
That statistic was morethan double the 45 pedes-trian fatalities involvingNew Jerseyans under 20years old.
“The number of elderlypedestrians is going tocontinue to grow, so thenumber of these accidentsis going to grow as well,”
said Katherine Hempstead,who co-authored the reportwith Loretta A. Kelly.
Many of those seniorskilled while walking werewithin a mile of their ownhomes.
“Seniors are being in-jured and killed in areas thatthey are familiar with andclose to where they live,”Hempstead said. “In every-day life, seniors are at risk.”
The state Department ofTransportation is also meet-ing with seniors to gathersuggestions on other waysto improve roadways.
“We’ve been utilizingtheir insights and their an-ecdotes to help make theimprovements, along withsound traffic engineering,”said NJDOT spokesmanMarc La Vorgna.
The first such meetingtook place last summer atthe Palisades Park SeniorCenter in Bergen County,and looked at ways to im-prove the intersection ofState Route 93 and CountyRoad 501.
The intersection, whichthe seniors use to walk to
the grocery store, hadlight changes that wereoften too fast for them.Many of them also didnot know that signs show-ing a circle with a linethrough it meant theyshould not cross the streetthere.
Byung Lee, the direc-tor of the Palisades ParkSenior Center, says hercenter’s residents werecrossing on both the leftand right side of the inter-section, but only one sidehad a crosswalk paintedon the street.
“They’re older, andthey’re walking slowly.And they know how toread and how to go by thetraffic light. But the lineson the street, they didn’tknow that,” Lee said.
Experts say the abilityof seniors to walk aroundtheir communities is im-portant for both healthand social reasons.
“What we really wantto do is modify the trafficenvironment so as manyseniors can walk as pos-sible,” Hempstead said.
have the Army send 10 per-cent of his pay, or $6 a month,home to his mother, Reta, inKalama, Wash.
The papers were yel-lowed and so brittle theycracked at the unfolding. ButAcord had a name, a town—and the Internet.
Chances that the soldierstill lived in the same townnearly 60 years later wereslim, but Acord had to try. Hesigned on to Yahoo’s PeopleSearch option, punched inMahaffey and Kalama.
Sure enough, the littletown on the Columbia River,between Vancouver andKelso, Wash., was thick with‘em. He found Mahaffeysnamed Jo, Larry, Jack, David

and Corri. Scrolling down, hesaw it: Robert D. Mahaffey.
Acord picked up the phoneand dialed.
Last week, a packageshowed up at the mobile homeMahaffey shares with his long-time partner, Sue Sager. Insidewas an envelope and insidethat, a brown leather bundle ofhistory.
“The history of me,”Mahaffey said.
Memories flooded back:The jobs he worked from thetime he dropped out of schoolin the ninth grade until thedraft caught up with him at 18.The lonely nights in bootcamp, so far away from family.For a boy used to flopping onhis belly and drinking coldclear water straight from North-west creeks, the stuff that came

out of the Camp Roberts tapsstunk, he recalls, pursing hismustached upper lip as if hestill can taste it.
“I was raised in the treeshere,” said Mahaffey, tall andsquare-shouldered, with themuscled hands of a workingman. “There, it was hot, dry,desolate, and dirty.”
Mahaffey says he doesn’tremember having his walletstolen.
His sister, Jean Neath-amer of Kalama, however,recalled that her brother wrotehome from boot camp andasked for cash because some-one had snatched his wallet.
At the time, she told herbrother recently, she figuredhis stolen-wallet story wasjust a ploy, since he alwaysneeded money.
Spanish Made Simple: The Spanish alphabet is similar to the English alphabet—it has the a-z letters, but italso has rr, ll, and ñ. “Ch” used to be a separate letter, but it has since merged with theletter “c.” The “rr” is strongly trilled, much more than the “r.” It is a double “r” so tospeak. The “ll” is similar to the pronunciation of “ll” in “million” and has more of a “y”sound, as in yet. The “ñ” is pronounced like the “ni” in onion or the “ny” in canyon. TheEnglish word “canyon” comes from the Spanish word cañón. Both languages have thesame vowels. Note the acute accent on the “o” in cañón. Spanish accents certain vowels such as á,é, í, ó, and ú [ü is another story]. Rule 1: Words ending in a vowel (not including y) andn and s are stressed on the syllable before the last. Rule 2: Words ending in a consonantother than n or s (not including y) are stressed on the last syllable. Words not stressed byrule 1 or 2 must have the written accent over the vowel of the stressed syllable, such asin páramo, café, día, rubí, cayó, nación, and música. Accents are also used to distinguishwords spelled alike but different in meaning such as “el” (adj.) and “él” (noun).
