WASHINGTON, DC,May 2, 2017 (AP): A newreport says Black Americaheld steady and Hispanic/Latino America improvedslightly during former Presi-dent Barack Obama’s finalyear.

But the National UrbanLeague says progress maybe in danger under DonaldTrump.

Its State of Black Americareport uses an equality in-dex, with 100 percent beingfull equality with whites. Theequality index for blackswas 72.3 percent in 2016, asmall increase from 2015’s72.2 percent. The equalityindex for Latinos was 78.4percent, which is an increasefrom 77.9 percent in 2015.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,May 4, 2017 (AP): IllinoisSenate President JohnCullerton’s plan to pro-tect undocumented immi-grants from what propo-nents consider federal ha-rassment has won ap-proval.

The Democratic-con-trolled Senate voted 31-21 Thursday to approvethe “TRUST Act.” It pro-hibits local or state police

AUSTIN, Texas, May 3,2017 (AP): The Texas Legis-lature on Wednesday passeda ban on so-called “sanctu-ary cities” that allows policeofficers to ask about aperson’s immigration statusand threatens sheriffs andpolice chiefs with jail time ifthey don’t work with federalauthorities.

Republican Gov. GregAbbott has pledged to signthe bill into law, whichcould now come quickly.

The GOP-led Senatepassed the bill Wednesdaydespite objections fromDemocrats, who call thebill a “show-me-your-pa-pers” measure that will beused to discriminateagainst Latinos.

The term “sanctuary cit-ies” has no legal defini-tion, but Republicans wantlocal police to help federalimmigration agents crackdown on criminal suspectsin the U.S. without docu-mentation.

The bill allows the stateto withhold funding fromlocal governments for act-ing as sanctuary cities.

Republicans have astrong majority in the Leg-islature and shoved asideDemocratic objections topush the bill, even asDonald Trump’s efforts towithhold federal fundingfor sanctuary cities havehit roadblocks in federalcourts.

The Texas bill allowspolice to inquire about theimmigration status of any-one they detain, a situa-tion that can range fromarrest for a crime to beingstopped for a traffic viola-tion. It also requires localofficials to comply withfederal requests to holdcriminal suspects for pos-sible deportation.

“We do not want illegalcriminals back on thestreet. This is about the ruleof law. It’s always beenabout the rule of law,” saidbill sponsor Sen. Charles

Perry, a Republican fromLubbock. He dismissed theconcerns of racial profilingand harassment as“fearmongering.”

Texas doesn’t currentlyhave any sanctuary cities, butthat hasn’t stopped Abbottand Republican legislativeleaders from pushing aggres-sively to ban them.

Sally Hernández, the sher-iff of Travis County, whichincludes liberal Austin, en-raged conservatives by re-fusing to honor federal de-tainer requests if the suspectsweren’t arrested for immigra-tion offenses or serious crimessuch as murder. Ms.Hernández softened herpolicy after Abbott cut fund-ing to the county, sayingdecisions would be made ona case-by-case basis. She hassaid she will conform to thestate’s ban if it becomes law.

Republican Lt. Gov. DanPatrick said the bill “willensure that no liberal localofficial can flaunt the law.”

“There is no excuse forendangering our communi-ties by allowing criminalaliens who have committeda crime to go free,” Patricksaid.

Fierce resistance has comefrom Texas Democrats andimmigrants’ rights organiza-tions, as well as from some inlaw enforcement and top busi-ness lobbies. Opponents say itopens the door to discrimina-tion and intimidation. Manysheriffs and police chiefs inheavily Democratic areas warnthat it would make their jobsharder if immigrant commu-nities—including crime vic-tims and witnesses—becomeafraid of the police.

“We don’t want walkingwhile brown to become rea-sonable suspicion,” said Sen.Sylvia García, a HoustonDemocrat.

Abbott has long promisedto sign a sanctuary cities banbut his office did not imme-diately comment on the bill’spassage Wednesday.

Opponents are expected to

attempt suing to block thelaw.

“Finally, Gov. Abbotthas gotten what he askedfor: a hateful, anti-immi-grant bill that will tear fami-lies apart, make us less safe,negatively drag Texas intothe national headlines andresult in years of costly liti-gation at the taxpayer’sexpense,” said Rep. EddieRodríguez, an AustinDemocrat and chairman ofthe Mexican American Leg-islative Caucus.

AUSTIN, Texas, 3 V 17(AP): La legislatura deTexas aprobó el miércolesuna iniciativa de ley sobrelas “ciudades santuario”que permite a los policíaspreguntar a las personas suestatus migratorio yamenaza a los jefes depolicía con penas de cárcelsi no colaboran con lasautoridades federales.

WASHINGTON, DC, 4 V17 (AP): Los legisladoresrepublicanos aprobaron eljueves en la Cámara deRepresentantes su propuestade ley de salud, su paso másimportante para desmantelarla ley conocida comoObamacare, una de lasprincipales metas delpresidente Donald Trump.

Los congresistasconsiguieron la aprobacióntras superar sus propiasdivisiones, que hundieron lapropuesta hace seis semanas.

Vencidos, pero sin rendirse,los demócratas insistieron enque los republicanos pagaránel precio en las urnas por anularcláusulas fundamentales de laley.

CARACAS, 2 V 17 (AP):La decisión del presidentevenezolano NicolásMaduro de convocar a unaasamblea para modificar laconstitución desató elmartes nuevasmanifestaciones contra elgobierno ycuestionamientos de variospaíses, mientras la oposiciónllamó a desobedecer elproceso.

Centenares de opositoresbloquearon algunas vías deleste y oeste de Caracas conbarricadas de basura, árboles,escombros, metalesretorcidos y hasta banderasvenezolanas de variosmetros de largo que fueroncolgadas entre los postes deluz. Las protestas seextendieron a otras ciudadesdel país.

“Estaremos en las calleshasta que el Estado entiendala inconformidad con laAsamblea Constituyente”,dijo Jorge Luis Olivares, uneconomista de 55 años,mientras caminaba frente auna barricada levantada porun grupo de vecinos enmedio de una avenida quecomunica el este de la capi-tal con la localidad de ElHatillo.

“La gente desea uncambio más rápido”, agregóOlivares al asegurar que elproceso constituyente podríaextenderse por 25 meses yque los “venezolanos noestamos dispuestos a esperartanto tiempo”.

En algunas barriadas declase media y popular deleste de la ciudad decenas deguardias nacionaleslanzaron gaseslacrimógenos hacia losedificios y casas paradispersar a los manifestantes,lo que generó problemas deasfixia entre los habitantesde esas zonas.

La Fiscalía Generalindicó que durante unamanifestación que se registróeste martes en la barriadapobre de Petare, al este de lacapital, resultaron heridoscinco guardias nacionales,un jefe policial, y dos civiles.Las manifestacionescallejeras que se iniciaron a

finales de marzo han dejado29 muertos y más de 400heridos.

La mayoría opositora de laAsamblea Nacional rechazódurante una sesión especial lainiciativa del mandatarioalegando que la convocatoriaa la Constituyente es“fraudulenta” porque seaprobó sin realizar unreferendo previo, tal comocontempla la constitución.Los congresistas opositoresinstaron al resto de los poderespúblicos y los militares a queno apoyen la acción deMaduro que fue consideradacomo un “golpe de estadocontinuado”.

La convocatoria a laConstituyente fuecuestionada por Brasil, Ar-gentina, Chile, EstadosUnidos y el secretario generalde la OEA, Luis Almagro.

El subsecretario adjuntode Estado para Asuntos delHemisferio Occidental,Michael Fitzpatrick, dijo a laprensa que Washington tieneprofundas preocupacionessobre las motivaciones de laasamblea, y planteó que elproceso “erosiona aún más”la democracia venezolana.Fitzpatrick indicó queEstados Unidos se reserva laposibilidad de hablar conotros países de la región paraevaluar posibles “sancionescoordinadas”, y considerarmás sanciones individuales amiembros del gobierno. ElDepartamento del Tesorosancionó en febrero alvicepresidente Tareck ElAissami quien fue acusado denarcotráfico.

Maduro instó la noche dellunes a sus seguidores aemprender una “gran batalla”para avanzar en la elección delos candidatos que integraránla Asamblea Constituyente.Al explicar los alcances delproceso el mandatario dijoque se buscará ampliar elsistema judicial, promovernuevas formas de“democracia participativa” ygarantizar la defensa de lasoberanía e integridad de lanación.

El abogado HermannEscarrá, cercano aloficialismo, negó que el

proceso implique unasustitución de laconstitución de 1999 queimpulsó el fallecidopresidente Hugo Chávez yplanteó, en una entrevistaen la televisora estatal, quese buscará adecuar el textoconstitucional a las “nuevasrealidades”.

Pero el abogado yacadémico José IgnacioHernández dijo a The Asso-ciated Press que de acuerdocon la “fraudulenta”interpretación que realizóMaduro de la constitución,el Congreso y el resto de lospoderes no podrán impedirni controlar las decisionesde la Asamblea NacionalConstituyente.

Hernández indicó queesa situación será utilizadapor el gobierno paraconsolidar la “usurpación defunciones” del Legislativo.

El académico agregó queeste proceso le permitirá algobierno diferir laselecciones regionales,pendientes desde el añopasado, y cualquier otraelección hasta que seapruebe una nueva carta ma-gna, situación que podríaafectar también laselecciones presidencialesque están previstas para elpróximo año.

Maduro adelantó que laAsamblea NacionalConstituyente estaríaintegrada por 500 miembros,de los cuales la mitad seránelegidos por los gremios detrabajadores y lascomunidades y el resto enestructuras territoriales queno precisó.

La oposición ha acusadoa Maduro de utilizar a lospoderes Judicial y Electoralpara postergar las eleccionesy evitar una derrota ante elcreciente descontento haciael gobierno por la crisis queenfrenta el país.

voto precisamente”, dijo Ryan.“¿Vamos a mantener laspromesas que hicimos, o vamosa flaquear?”, agregó.

La propuesta enfrenta ahorauna suerte incierta en el Senado,donde incluso los legisladoresrepublicanos dicen queprobablemente requierecambios importantes.

En un comunicado, el líderde la mayoría en el SenadoMitch McConnell calificó lavotación en la cámara baja como“un paso importante” pararevocar la ley de salud deObama, y dijo que “el Congresocontinuará legislando paraproporcionar más opciones ylibertad en las decisiones deatención médica”.

La enconada lucha porderogar y reemplazar la ley desalud que impulsó el expresidente Barack Obamadominó los debates en elCongreso, incluso cuando sedisponía a aprobar la asignaciónde 1 billón de dólares paramantener el gobierno federalen funcionamiento hastaseptiembre.

Los republicanosprometieron anular la reformade salud de Obama desde supromulgación en el 2010, peroeste año—con Trump en la CasaBlanca y control pleno delCongreso—es su primeraoportunidad real de lograrlo.

No obstante, las encuestasmuestran que el público rechazalas gestiones de anulación y unalza en la popularidad de lamedida promulgada por Obama.

Los demócratas _opuestos

sólidamente a la nuevapropuesta—dijeron que losrepublicanos pagarán elprecio en las eleccioneslegislativas del año próximo.

“Si votas por esta medida,pasarás de moderado a radi-cal”, dijo la líder de la minoríademócrata en la cámara baja,Nancy Pelosi, quien advirtióa los republicanos que losvotantes van a castigarlos.

Ryan canceló en marzo lavotación sobre la medidaporque los conservadoresdescontentos decían que erademasiado débil, y losmoderados dijeron que losrecortes eran demasiadoprofundos.

El líder republicanoabandonó un segundo intentode votación la semana pasada.Hasta el martes, The Associ-ated Press contabilizaba 21legisladores republicanos encontra, uno menos de la cifraque hubiera matado lainiciativa si todos losdemócratas votaban “No”.

Durante las últimassemanas, el proyecto de leyfue modificado para atraer alos conservadores de línea másdura y a algunos legisladoresrepublicanos de centro. En unmovimiento táctico final, loslíderes agregaron un modestofondo de dinero para ayudar acubrir el seguro de gastosmédicos a personas concondiciones médicaspreexistentes, unapreocupación que ocasionóuna rebelión casi fatal entrerepublicanos en días recientes.

BUENOS AIRES, 4 V 17(AP): Las Madres de Plaza deMayo anunciaron el jueves quepedirán juicio político contralos jueces de la Corte Supremade Justicia que la vísperadictaminaron un fallo que ben-eficia a un represor condenadopor delitos de lesa humanidad altiempo que denunciarán alEstado argentino anteorganismos internacionales porconsiderar que la decisión es unretroceso en materia de derechoshumanos.

En el dictamen, la Corte leconcedió al represor Luis Muiña-sentenciado en 2011 a 13 añosde prisión por secuestro y torturasdurante un operativo militar en1976- el beneficio de una leyque computaba doble los días enprisión sin condena firme, esdecir cuando la pena ha sidoapelada. La norma en cuestión,ya derogada, nunca había sidoaplicada a condenados pordelitos de lesa humanidad, sinosolo a presos comunes.

“Creo que los jueces que hanfirmado este fallo deben serefectivamente llevados al juiciopolítico por mal desempeño”,dijo el abogadoconstitucionalista EduardoBarcesat en rueda de prensaconvocada por las Madres en lahistórica Plaza de Mayo, lamisma donde reclaman por sushijos desaparecidos desde hace40 años. Barcesat tambiéncuestionó la idoneidad de losmiembros de la Corte porprivilegiar una norma procesalderogada a favor de “genocidas”por encima de tratadosinternacionales de derechoshumanos.

Si bien el dictamencorresponde a un solo caso,serviría de precedente para otroscondenados por sus accionesdurante el régimen de 1976 a1983. Hasta marzo de este año

ascendían a 755 los sentenciados.Un día después del

controvertido fallo, las Madresrealizaron su habitual rondaalrededor de la pirámide de laplaza. A paso lento, caminabancon los clásicos pañuelos blancossobre su cabeza -queoriginariamente eran los pañalesde tela de sus hijos desaparecidos-y sosteniendo una pancarta quedecía: “Ni olvido, ni perdón, nireconciliación. 1000 años deprisión”. A los costados, variasdecenas de personas las alentarona no darse por vencidas.

La dictadura militar cobró lavida de más de 6.000 personas,según cifras oficiales, pero parafamiliares de las víctimas yorganismos de derechoshumanos, los desaparecidosfueron 30.000.

Hebe de Bonafini, líder de lasMadres, afirmó que el fallo no lasorprendió y recordó que durantela dictadura “los jueces fuerongrandes cómplices que sabíanque nuestros hijos morían y pormás presentaciones que hicimosnunca invadieron un lugar ohicieron lo que las madres lespedíamos, que salvaran a algunode ellos”.

Al respecto, Barcesat insistió:“Los que han cometido hechosaberrantes que hieren laconciencia jurídica de lahumanidad, que son crímenes delesa humanidad, merecen sertratados como lo dicen lasconvenciones del genocidio.Para ellos no hay beneficio deamnistía, ni indulto, niconmutación de pena y muchomenos una norma procesalderogada”.

Otros abogadosconstitucionalistas, en cambio,se han manifestado a favor delfallo. “El voto mayoritario respetael principio de imparcialidad enla aplicación de las leyes”, opinóJorge Vanossi. “La aplicación de

la ley penal más benigna debeser extensiva a todos los delitos,sin distinción alguna”.

El plan de acción de losorganismos de derechoshumanos también incluirápresentaciones ante organismosinternacionales, como laComisión Interamericana deDerechos Humanos (CIDH), quesesionará en Buenos Aires a partirdel 24 de mayo durante tres días.

No obstante, losrepresentantes legales de Madresadvirtieron que la Corte Supremade Argentina dictaminó aprincipios de este año que noestá obligada a acatarresoluciones de organismosregionales.

La denominada ley “dos poruno”-a una persona detenida másde dos años sin condena se lecomputaba doble cada día deprisión preventiva- fuesancionada en 1994 en mediode una grave crisis carcelaria y encoincidencia con la reforma dela Constitución a partir de la cualel país dio rango constitucionala los tratados internacionales.La norma fue derogada en 2001,cuando empezó a regir un nuevocódigo procesal.

Los jueces Horacio Rosatti,Carlos Rosenkrantz y ElenaHighton de Nolascoargumentaron que a Muiña lecabe el principio de ley penalmás benigna y que la aplicaciónde la mencionada norma “resultaextensivo a todos los delitos, sinrealizar distinción alguna”. Losjueces se basaron en un artículodel código penal según el cualninguna ley se puede aplicar enforma retroactiva salvo que seamás benigna.

Muiña, que debía cumplircondena hasta 2024, vioreducida su sentencia en ochoaños a partir de este beneficio yya goza del beneficio de lalibertad condicional.

“The law is quite clearthat employees can’t justnot show up to work whenthey’re expected, and alsothat they are not free toparticipate in political,non-work-related protestsduring their work day with-out consequences,” Yodersaid. “We therefore denyany wrongdoing and areconfident that the chargewill be dismissed.”

Paris said the workers atEZ didn’t have a regularschedule, so not showingup was never grounds to befired. He also said the com-pany had only warned of asuspension, not a firing.

The Toledo Zoo is nowhome to a koala! The cap-tivating, tree-huggingcreature has been on ex-hibit in the Aviary as ofMay 5, 2017.

The new koala,Coedie, was brought tothe Zoo through the SanDiego Zoo’s Koala LoanProgram, which hasplaced koalas in morethan 85 cities and 12 coun-tries across the globe.

San Diego’s senior ko-ala keeper, and previousToledo Zoo koala keeper,Jenny Roesler, accompa-nied Coedie on his trans-fer and stayed to help trainstaff and acclimate thekoala to his new home, anewly- renovated exhibitin the historic Aviary.

Coedie, whose namemeans “boy” in aborigi-nal, is 3½ years old andweighs approximately 16pounds. Interestingly,Coedie is the son ofMundooie, the first malekoala born at the ToledoZoo in 2000. Through itsparticipation in the KoalaLoan Program, ToledoZoo is also supporting ko-ala habitat conservationin Australia.

Koalas (Phascolarctoscinereus) are easily rec-ognized by their uniquephysical characteristics:large, leathery nose andlean yet rounded bodywith long limbs for sup-port and balance, big earsand no visible tail. An-other fun fact is that likehumans, koalas have in-

dividual fingerprints.Koalas are naturally

solitary and basically sed-entary creatures that residein eucalyptus forests andwoodlands, along the east-ern coast of Australia. Be-cause their diet of euca-lyptus leaves and a smallamount of dirt to aid indigestion does not providemuch nutritional value andtakes a long time to digest,koalas sleep between 18and 22 hours a day and areactive at night.

Eucalyptus, the onlyfood in a koala’s diet, isharmful to most animals.However, in their digestivetract koalas have a specialbacteria that breaks downthe harmful compounds,allowing one to eat one totwo pounds of eucalyptus

leaves a day.The IUCN Red List for

Threatened Species listskoalas as vulnerable withdeclining populationnumbers due to loss ofhabitat, predation fromdogs, disease and the ef-fects of climate change.Current estimates are thatmore than 80% of koalahabitat has disappearedand it is thought there areonly 43,000 to 80,000 ko-alas left in the wild.

In addition to visitingCoedie, Zoo guests canalso support koala con-servation by taking thenew Oceania Conserva-tion Tour around the Zooto learn more, purchasinga koala Zoo PAL sponsor-ship or koala merchandisein Zoo gift shops.

Michael Moore to take on Trump onBroadway this summerBy MARK KENNEDY, AP Entertainment Writer

GRAND RAPIDS, MI: Conel objetivo de cuidar a losniños y jóvenes para quecrezcan sanos, porque ellosson nuestro legado, fue creado“Niños del Sol”, un programacultural enfocado en eldesarrollo de las habilidadesde los niños de escasosrecursos, fortalecimiento dela unidad, aprendizaje de susraíces e integración con gruposdiversos.

Reyna García, fundadoradel proyecto, informa: “Tengovarios años trabajando encomités educativos tales comoorganizaciones culturales y decolaboración de Great Start,me he dado cuenta de lanecesidad que existe ennuestra comunidad de trabajaren desarrollar las habilidadesde nuestros niños. Es de sumaimportancia crear un espacioseguro para nuestros hijosdonde puedan aspirar asuperarse, porque esta sociedadnecesitará una nuevageneración de líderes”.

García destacó queactualmente hay centros quetrabajan con niños, pero selimitan a prestar apoyo en áreasde vida limitadas, por lo tanto,dejan de lado a otrascomunidades. “Considero desuma importanciaproporcionar y dar acceso a unsector más amplio para recibireste tipo de apoyo”.

Niños del Sol está orientadoa grupos minoritarios de lacomunidad y se basa en lanoción de que el arte es unaherramienta para mejorar susposibilidades de éxito en laescuela y en la vida. Esto selogrará a través de lassiguientes áreas:

• Musicoterapia. Se creamúsica donde los niñospuedan decir lo que sienten ylo que les afecta, es una músicade lucha social para queexpresen lo que sienten.

• Gastronomía. Creaciónde platillos típicos para que losniños puedan conocer la cocinaque caracteriza a los latinos.

• Escultura. Se trans-forman las experiencias enobras de arte. Se cuenta con unprofesor especializado entrabajo con niños para quepuedan expresar lo que sienten

a través de una escultura.• Pintura. Se divide en dos

partes, en la primera los niñostienen la oportunidad decontar sus historias para quepuedan estar bien ubicadoscon ellos mismos. Es decir,para que se conozcan mejor.En la segunda parte se cubrirátodo el aprendizaje referente alas técnicas. Es impartida porReyna García.

Al final del curso, que seespera sea en la primera semanade agosto, se hará unaexhibición al público en gen-eral para que puedan apreciarel resultado del trabajo que sellevo a cabo. Actualmente seencuentran trabajando consiete niños pero hay capacidadpara más, ya que la idea en estaprimera etapa del programa, escrear un grupo pequeño dealrededor de 15 niños, para vercómo funciona yposteriormente, irlo creciendo.

“Una vez que concluyamosesta primera etapa, abriremosotro grupo porque es unproyecto con una visión a fu-turo. Es importante empoderara la mayor cantidad de niñosposibles porque se vienentiempos difíciles y en lugar deinculcar miedo e intimidación,tenemos que fortalecerlos”,señaló la fundadora delproyecto.

Reyna dice queactualmente hay muchosniños que están viviendo encasa diversas problemáticascomo alcoholismo, violencia,entre otros, que afectan de unamanera u otra su vida, por esola importancia de mostrarlestambién el lado positivo de lavida y ayudarlos a sacar sutalento, no esperar a que seanadultos para poder verlosrealizados, hay que trabajar yestar con ellos desde ahora.

Originaria deNezahualcoyotl, México,Reyna García es una madresoltera cuya inspiración sonsus hijos, así como apoyar sussueños y sus metas en su vida.“Creo firmemente quenuestros hijos son el futurotanto como son nuestropresente. He trabajadoprofesionalmente comoartista visual durante muchosaños y eso me ha dado unaforma de expresión. Tengouna profunda pasión por lascausas de la justicia social.

Soy activista cultural,organizadora de la comunidady defensora de los derechoshumanos”.

En su pasión por sacar a sushijos adelante y darles unamejor alternativa de vida, deseasalpicar a todos los niños de sualrededor y a sus familias. “Estees un proyecto para ayudar atoda la comunidad, en dondese involucran no solo los niños,sino los profesores y padres defamilia. Es por eso que tambiénvamos a tener actividades paralos padres”, comentó. “Aldesarrollar el talento y prestaratención a los sueños denuestros hijos, tendremos ungran impacto en su futuro. Esonos ayudará a disminuir la tasade abandono escolar yaumentará la graduaciónuniversitaria, impactando asíla tasa de jóvenes en el sistemapenitenciario. En resumen esteprograma generará másopciones de vida para nuestroshijos”.

Niños del Sol es unproyecto cultural realizado yenfocado por miembros de lacomunidad, por lo que elarranque no ha sido nada fácil.“Nos ha costado trabajo, haymucha gente quesupuestamente quiere ayudarpero no hemos visto nada con-creto”, compartió García.“Afortunadamente ya hay unaiglesia que se acerco a nosotrosy una organización nos dio unpequeño donativo, pero sinecesitamos de más apoyo parasacar este proyecto adelante.Estamos empezando sinrecursos pero seguros de quepodremos salir adelante”.

Por el momento, algunas delas actividades se llevan a caboen un centro comunitario queha abierto las puertas alproyecto. “Hay otros lugaresque también nos estánprestando su espaciodependiendo de la actividad,por ejemplo mi hija quiere serdiseñadora de modas ytendremos ciertascolaboraciones con lugaresque nos van a dar esos espacios.Es decir, estamos poco a pocoabriendo puertas”, concluyóla entrevistada.

Para donaciones y/o realizaralgún apoyo, así como paraformar parte del programa, fa-vor de contactar a Reyna Garcíaal (616) 724 80 23.

The Mandel ContinuingScholars Program buildsupon academic initiativeslaunched at Tri-C and CSUin recent years through thegenerosity of the MandelFoundation.

CSU created the MandelHonors College in 2014 af-ter receiving a $3.6 milliongrant from the Mandel Foun-dation. The highly selectivehonors program has gradu-ated more than 400 studentssince its inception.

A year later, Tri-C estab-lished the Jack, Joseph andMorton Mandel HumanitiesCenter — the home of theCollege’s Mandel ScholarsAcademy — after receivinga $10 million gift from theMandel Foundation. Thecenter promotes the study ofthe humanities to expandcritical thinking and leader-ship skills.

The new Mandel Con-tinuing Scholars Programcreates a process where aca-demic talent nurtured at Tri-C can mature at CSU, lead-ing to graduates ready toenter the workforce and as-sume leadership positions inthe community.

The Mandel ContinuingScholars Program grant willbe administered through theCuyahoga Community Col-lege Foundation and theCleveland State UniversityFoundation. Approximately$2 million will go to CSUand $1.5 million to Tri-C.

CLEVELAND,May 4, 2017: TheJack, Joseph andMorton MandelFoundation hasawarded nearly $3.5million to CuyahogaCommunity College(Tri-C®) and Cleveland StateUniversity to create a schol-ars program connectinghigh-achieving Tri-C stu-dents with CSU’s Jack, Jo-seph and Morton MandelHonors College.

The Jack, Joseph andMorton Mandel ContinuingScholars Program forges anew partnership between theacademic institutions in acollaboration that aims to bea national model for honorsstudent transfers betweentwo-year and four-yearschools.

“Our Foundation be-lieves in the mission of Tri-Cand Cleveland State and iscommitted to supportingthat effort,” said MortonMandel, chairman and CEOof the Mandel Foundation.“These schools change thelives of students who, in turn,make an impact on the city,the region, the nation and theworld. This grant is an invest-ment in all of our futures.”

This academic pathwaywill link students from Tri-C’s Jack, Joseph and MortonMandel Scholars Academyto CSU’s Mandel HonorsCollege, offering a seamlesstransition as they continuerigorous coursework in pur-suit of a bachelor’s degree.

The program will providestudents full-tuition schol-arships and stipends; sum-mer research workshops andtraining opportunities; anda peer mentoring network

and dedicated academic advi-sors to guide students throughgraduation.

“The Continuing ScholarsProgram established with thisgenerous gift from the MandelFoundation builds an environ-ment that promises to bringout the best in some of ourbrightest students,” Tri-CPresident Alex Johnson said.“This partnership reflects asteadfast commitment to ex-ceptional academic outcomesfor the betterment of the com-munity.”

“This significant invest-ment by the Mandel Founda-tion paves a pathway to suc-cess between Tri-C and Cleve-land State,” CSU PresidentRonald M. Berkman said. “Theinnovative collaboration be-tween the institutions and thenew level of student supportwill lead to honors graduateswho will be ready and moti-vated to transform the world.”

The grant agreement callsfor the first group of MandelScholars to transition betweenthe schools this fall. Studentsmust have at least a 3.5 GPA atTri-C to be considered. Thegoal is to transfer 25 studentsper year by 2020.

Transfer students will enterCSU as juniors after earning anassociate degree at Tri-C. Onceat CSU, they will be on courseto graduate with distinctionwithin two years.

CLEVELAND, May 2,2017: Esperanza, Inc.,Cleveland’s leading advo-cate for education in the His-panic Community, has beenawarded a $52,000 grant fromthe Larry Doby Youth Fundto reduce youth violence byexpanding its middle school,high school, and collegementoring programs.

“We know that whenkids are in proximity to vio-lence – particularly in thehome – they are much morelikely to commit acts ofviolence. It is also proventhat mentoring programstruly do work in preventingat-risk youth from commit-ting violent crime,” saidVictor Ruiz, Executive Di-rector of Esperanza.“Through mentoring, weprovide the support andtools they need to handlethe challenges within theirown communities and man-age their own behaviors.”

Esperanza currently pro-vides mentoring support to230 Hispanic studentsthrough its high school andcollege programs. The or-ganization is also piloting

an in-classroom mentoringprogram at Luis Muñoz MarinMiddle School. The LarryDoby Grant will enableEsperanza to hire a full-timestaff member to directmentorship programs and toexpand its existingmentoring programs to anadditional 50 - or 280 total –Hispanic youth.

The Larry Doby YouthFund, which has raised $1million since it was createdjust six months ago by Cleve-land Indians Manager TerryFrancona, aims to curbyouth violence in Cleveland.Esperanza participants livein one of the most stressed,dangerous, and poor sectionsof the city, with 34 percent,or 3,000 children, living inpoverty. The area has thesecond highest crime rate inthe city, with 187 violentcrimes reported in a one-month period last year.

“Unfortunately, our kidswitness the effects of vio-lence and poverty everyday,” said Ruiz. “That iswhy it is so important thatwe provide a safe place forthe students to come to dis-

cuss and learn to managethese challenges. Our staffand mentor leaders are pas-sionate about helping thestudents stay out of troubleand stay in school, so theycan go on to create peace-ful, productive lives.”

In addition to providingacademic support,Esperanza’s mentoringprograms directly addressviolence, gun violence,conflict resolution, angermanagement, trauma fromviolence, domestic and re-lationship violence andhuman trafficking. Partici-pants also learn to commu-nicate and work with theCleveland police, FBIagents, and legal and judi-cial officials.

With the leadership ofEsperanza, high schoolgraduation rates for His-panic students more thandoubled, from 30 percentto 64 percent, since 2011.In addition, the graduationrate for students who par-ticipate in the Esperanza’smentoring, tutoring andleadership programs is over97 percent.
