and deal with issues such ascontraceptive use and absti-nence,” he added.

A major theme of the pro-gram is prevention. “One ofthe best ways to prevent HIVinfection is to educate—andthe younger, the better,”continued Mr. Torrence.

The Latino AIDS Projecthas a special focus on youthand has created a youth-driven program for peer edu-cation.

A multi-cultural group ofadolescents from across thearea have helped form whatthey have named A.T.T.A.C(Attack), which stands forActive Toledo Teens Aware-ness Committee.

The logo for the programis being developed by theteens as well. “They havetaken a very active role inthe creation of the project,”said Mr. Torrence.

Members of the commit-tee come from across the areabut Waite, Woodward,Libbey, and Central Catho-lic High School top the listwith 16, 10, 6, and 6 studentsrespectively.

The committee is look-ing for new teen membersand parental involvement.“We cannot stress enoughthat we want the parents in-volved. We want the peereducation to start with fam-ily, then move to friends,and branch out from there,”said Mr. Torrence.

The program teaches thatabstinence is the only wayto guarantee to not contractHIV or another STD, but thatif you are active, practicesafe sex. The program alsogives teens an active role inthe prevention of HIV infec-tion. The goal is to teach theteens to take an active role intheir own health, the healthof their family and friends,and the health of their com-munity.

Education in the LatinoAids Project includes adulteducation, education to anaging populace, and migranteducation.

Torrence and otherAdelante staff were on handat Jones Junior High Schoollast Saturday to discuss HIVawareness at the Health Fairduring Ohio’s MinorityHealth Month.

DETROIT (AP): Fears ofan ongoing war with Iraq andaccompanying anti-Ameri-can sentiment, along with theadvent of a mysterious ill-ness, SARS, appear to be cool-ing the demand for air travel,some travel agents say.

“Europe is virtually flat.It’s a region that people areavoiding,” said PamelaJohnston, spokeswoman forSite59, an online travel site.

Advance booking fortrans-Atlantic travel hasdropped 40 percent since thewar with Iraq began, anddomestic booking has fallen20 percent, according to theAir Transport Association, aWashington-based tradegroup.

Pacific bookings aredown more than 30 percentas a fatal flu-like illness calledsevere acute respiratory syn-drome sweeps through Asia.

Already reeling from the2001 terrorist attacks and apersistent global economicslump, airlines are facingeven tougher times now, TheDetroit News reported Fri-day.

As demand has slack-ened—airlines are reportingmore cancellations than res-ervations on some days—

Bush’s War, mysterious illness cools demandfor travel the nation’s carriers have been

forced to slash their prices.Some travelers are taking

advantage of the deep dis-counts. Site59 has seen a num-ber of new visitors in recentweeks, Johnston said.

“They’re all (considered)safe, far away from Iraq,” shesaid.

One was a man in his 50s

who traveled to China— itappears that the place of ori-gin of SARS is China—an-other was a woman in her 20swho had visited Hong Kongand the third was a man in his40s who had been to Viet-nam.

In Florida, a 70-year-oldwoman was hospitalized af-ter showing symptoms ofSARS following a trip to Asia,Florida state epidemiologistDr. Steven Wiersma said.

She was not in intensivecare and the sickness did notappear to be life threateningat this point, Wiersma said.

Two other Florida resi-dents, a 21-year-old womanand a 36-year-old man, wereidentified Wednesday as sus-pected SARS cases. Theywere not hospitalized butwere asked to stay home toavoid spreading the illness,Wiersma said.

To the Editor of La Prensa:

In South Toledo, a new organization called the South EndBeautification Society, or SEBS, has been formed. Adelante,Inc., Aurora Gonzalez Community Family & Resource Cen-ter, South YMCA, and the Toledo Zoo have combined theiryouth group resources to attack areas of litter and trash in theirefforts to help clean South Toledo.

This project was initiated by these different organizations,which realized that by combining their respective resourcesof youth groups that possibly, together, a difference would bemade and seen in South Toledo.

Saturday, April 12th, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., wasdecided as the kick-off date and time for this new venture. Allthe organizations, and anyone else who would care to volun-teer, will meet at 9:30 am at the South End Community Gardenlocated next to the Sophia Quintero Art & Cultural Center,weather permitting.

On March 31, at a meeting at Rambos, SEBS decided thatthe first clean-up projects are: the South End CommunityGarden, Danny Thomas Park, and the corner of South & theAnthony Wayne Trail near the Aurora Gonzalez CommunityCenter. Robert Kasprzak from Heritage South will contact thecity requesting that trucks be available to pickup the col-lected trash.

SEBS anticipates that this venture will become a successand that Toledo will respond by donating garden and lawntools that can be put to use. It is the intention of SEBS to tourthe South End area to determine and locate areas in need ofcleanup. SEBS will also help the elderly that cannot maintaintheir property.

Ninety-three BowlingGreen State University(BGSU) students along with17 students from the Univer-sity of Toledo went to courtlast Tuesday— the U.S. Su-preme Court. They traveled480 miles to participate in anational march and rally sup-porting affirmative action onthe steps of the SupremeCourt.

On Tuesday the courtheard two cases that mayprove to be watershed cases.The lawsuits, Grutter v.Bollinger and Gratz v.Bollinger, challenged the useof race in admissions to theUniversity of Michigan’s lawschool and undergraduateprogram.

The students had spentthe last six weeks preparingand raising funds for theirtwo-day adventure. The fi-nal cost of the trip was over$5400, which included twobusses, highway tolls, park-ing fees, and signs to carry.

Alexandra Hernández,president of the Latino Stu-dent Union (LSU) at BGSU,felt that the trip was an excel-lent experience for all whowent.

“It was wonderful because Inow feel like I am part of thenew civil rights movement,”she said. “It was great to see somany other students and know-ing that we all want the samething.”

The students were among5,000 to 7,000 pro-affirmativeaction demonstrators.

Bianca Hutchinson, asophomore at BGSU, was oneof the driving forces behind thetrip. She acted as a liaison be-tween the national organiza-tion Coalition to Defend Affir-mative Action, Integration andFight for Equality By AnyMeans Necessary (BAMN),which organized the rally, andthe students.

“BAMN is the organizationthat was formed in 1995 in re-sponse to the attack on affirma-tive action in the University ofCalifornia system,” Hutchinsonsaid.

She became involved withthe organization in Februarywhen Miranda Massie, the leadcounsel for the student interve-nors in Grutter v. Bollingerspoke on the BGSU campus.

“After speaking with thenational organizers (for BAMN)when Miranda Massie came tocampus, and seeing the interest

from other students, I de-cided that I wanted to go toWashington,” she said.

From that pointHutchinson worked closelywith Marshall Rose andSylvia Chandler in the Of-fice of Equity, Diversity, andImmigration Services atBGSU to bring interestedstudents together.

Chandler, an equity anddiversity officer, has been atthe university for six yearsand also took part in the tripto Washington, D.C..

“It was important becauseit could change equal accessopportunity; not only in edu-cation but also in employ-ment,” Chandler said.

Chandler was pleasedwith the amount of studentparticipation in the organiz-ing process.

“All the students jumpedon board — signing peti-tions and now raising funds.They got together and puttogether a plan,” Chandlersaid. “They really came to-gether.”

Hutchinson spoke dur-ing the rally beside civilrights activists like JesseJackson.

“It’s really cool to be a partof history,” Hutchinson said.

The court’s decision isexpected sometime in July.

games for Toledo in 2001.Right-handed pitcher

Fernando Rodney, 22, spenttime with Double-A Erie,Toledo and Detroit in 2002.Rodney, also a native of theDominican Republic, was 1-1 with Toledo with four savesand a 0.81 ERA. He struckout 25 in 22 1/3 innings.Rodney made his majorleague debut last May 3 butwas sent back down to Erieon May 7.

Rodney worked his wayback to Detroit on August13. He eventually appearedin 20 games for the parentteam going 1-3 with a 6.00ERA while striking out 10 in18 innings. Rodney ap-peared in two playoff gamesfor Toledo last fall, strikingout six batters in 3.1 innings.The 22-year-old finished2002 with Detroit on Sep-tember 26by striking out fourbatters at Kansas City.

Andres Torres, a 25-year-old native of Puerto Rico, isnow in his sixth professionalseason. A right-handed bat-ting and throwing outfielder,Torres batted .266 in115games with Toledo last yearand .200 with Detroit in 19games.

Torres had taken his gameup a notch in spring trainingand for a while appeared to

be ready to open the seasonin Comerica Park, but a 0 for14 finish to the spring endedthose dreams. Tiger managerAlan Trammell has stated thatTorres is very close to beingin the majors. But he willneed to cut down on hisstrikeouts – he had 116 withToledo last year – and im-prove his on-base percent-age so that the club can takeadvantage of his speed.

Yohanny Valera, a 26-year-old Dominican native,is a right-handed batting andthrowing catcher who waswith Toledo for 44 gameslast year. He had a battingaverage of .252 in 131 atbats. He was signed by theTigers as a free agent afterbeing waived by the Piratesorganization. Valera has alsoplayed for the Mets, Exposand Devil Rays in their mi-nor league systems.

The 2003 season beganlast Thursday with the MudHens victorious 6-1 over theLouisville Bats.

GUANGZHOU, China(AP): Un grupo deinvestigadores de laOrganización Mundial de laSalud llegó el jueves al sur deChina para investigar el origendel síndrome respiratorioagudo, y el gobierno aseguróque el padecimiento está bajocontrol.

Los diarios estatalespublicaron en sus primerasplanas artículos sobre unareunión del gabinete,encabezada el miércoles porel premier Wen Jiabao, quienrevisó las medidas paracombatir el brote. Losrotativos habían dado hastaahora una cobertura mínimaal padecimiento que hamatado hasta ahora a 46 per-sonas en el país.

«La epidemia estácontrolada», señaló la agenciaoficial Xinhua en un despachopublicado por varios periódicos.

El informe no mencionó elanuncio emitido el miércolespor la OMS y las autoridadeschinas, acerca de 12 muertesmás a causa del síndrome,durante febrero y marzo.

Algunos expertossospechan que el broteepidémico se originó en laprovincia meridional chinade Guangdong, aunque elgobierno de este país sugirióque es muy pronto para

Equipo de OMS investigaráen China origen de neumoníaatípica determinar eso.

«El hecho de que los casosde VIH y sida fuesenreportados inicialmente enEstados Unidos no significaque la epidemia fatal seoriginó ahí», dijo el ministrode salud Zhang Wenkang,citado por el despacho.

El equipo de la OMS llegóa Guangdong el jueves almediodía y fue recibido porfuncionarios chinos. Noemitió comentarios a laprensa.

Los investigadoresrecibieron el miércoles laautorización de buscar pistasdel brote. Dijeron que queríanestudiar la forma en que lospacientes han contraído elsíndrome y conocer lasimpresiones de los médicoschinos que han atendido elpadecimiento en la zona.

Una creciente apertura delgobierno chino sobre el temallega después de lascrecientes críticasinternacionales hacia susnegativas de darinformación.

Por lo menos 78 personashan muerto en Asia y Canadádebido al síndrome, y haymás de 2.200 enfermos enuna docena de países, segúnla OMS. Hasta el momentono hay cura conocida para elmal, pues los científicos nohan identificado al agentepatógeno.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico(AP): The U.S. Navy has torndown wooden barracks andobservation towers at itsVieques bombing range as itprepares to withdraw afteryears of local protests, offi-cials said Wednesday.

For decades, the U.S. Navyhas conducted training on theoutlying island off PuertoRico’s east coast in prepara-tion for international con-flicts from Korea to Afghani-stan and Iraq. The last train-ing ended in February.

The Navy says it will with-draw from Vieques by May 1,turning over the island’s east-ern third to the U.S. Depart-ment of the Interior and mov-ing training to spots in Florida

U.S. Navy begins cleanup onPuerto Rican island of Vieques

and elsewhere in the U.S.mainland.

The 17 buildings demol-ished Wednesday were tem-porary structures, Navyspokesman Oscar Seara said.

The Navy has said it willclean up munitions that re-main on its bombing range.

Activists say the bomb-ing exercises, which beganin 1947, have harmed theenvironment and the healthof the island’s 9,100 resi-dents. The Navy denies theclaims.

The training has beencriticized by the U.S.territory’s leaders since off-target bombs killed a civil-ian guard on the firing rangein 1999.

Closkey at his office lastMonday, but, unfortu-nately, there were no resolu-tions to this serious prob-lem and all of the interestedparties were unavailable forcomment by the time LaPrensa went to press.

A detailed follow-upstory will appear in nextweek’s La Prensa outliningthe numerous complaints,problems, and solutions.

ARIES: (March 21-April 20)Your strength and courage will be required during this

week to meet a personal challenge... this seems to be an innerstruggle of self worth. You may become privy to informationconcerning a financial matter, don’t take any advice lightly.

TAURUS: (April 21 - May 21)You have a lot going for you this week, so try to use that

positive energy wisely. Keep your goals ever in mind, andbe willing to wait for just the right time. Your self-confidenceis renewed and those around you will no doubt benefit. Findapproval and love from within.

GEMINI: (May 22 - June 21)It may be time to make a change in a relationship that is

eating up your time and energy - it just may not be worth theeffort. If you are overloaded at work, let a supervisor knowthat you need help. Feelings will be expressed which aresincere, so take them to heart.

CANCER: (June 22 - July 23)Stand up for yourself and don’t let anyone, friend or

family, get away with what is rightfully yours. If you are inthe market for Mr. or Mrs. Right, they may be right in frontof your eyes, so keep your eyes open. Don’t be manipulatedby guilt into doing something undesirable.

LEO: (July 24- August 23)Hard work and more hard work will give you an enormous

sense of satisfaction this week. Time seems to fly becauseyou are so wrapped up in a current project. This will lay afoundation on which success will surely be built. You willattract positive notice.

VIRGO: (August 24 - September 23)A fresh start this week may be just what you need. Your

financial situation seems to be improving steadily, thoughmaybe not as quickly as you would like. This new beginningjust may be marred by your inclination to go for glitterinstead of substance and quality.

LIBRA: (September 24 - October 23)Don’t put all your eggs into one basket this week,

especially regarding relationships. Relying to heavily onothers will only hurt and disappoint you. Motivation willtake hold of you and with a little blood flowing, yourenthusiasm will affect all those around you.

SCORPIO: (October 24 - November 22)The blues may be trying to follow you throughout the

week. There is truly an abundance of love and affectionsurrounding you from just about everywhere, so there is noreason to stay withdrawn. Do not jump to conclusions abouta coworker, things aren’t always what they seem.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 - December 21)It may be time to make that commitment to a primary

relationship, which is long overdue. If you are having secondthoughts, it is no doubt time to talk about whether or not it’sworth investing more time and energy into something,which may not be beneficial to either of you.

CAPRICORN: (December 22 - January 20)You seem to be easily influenced during the week, which

is very uncharacteristic for you. Could it be some sweet facehas you in its spell? Try to keep your temper in check whensomeone in the workplace tries to push your buttons. Noteveryone meets your high moral code.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 - February 19)Communications will be very important during the week.

Your significant other may be feeling left out and needs thereassurance that they crave, children may need guidanceconcerning educational matters, and friends need supportregarding a life decision.

PISCES: (February 20 - March 20)Protect your feelings during the week by keeping them

to yourself. If you do something nice for someone else, don’texpect to be thanked, there are things which need to be donefor their own sake. Take people for what they are, not whatyou want them to be.

IF THIS WEEK IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You may beaccused of being both elusive and shallow. And you areelusive in order to protect the privacy you consider so veryprecious. You are not shallow, but have the ability to detachyour emotions from your intellect, and tend to just skim thesurface of many things.

LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif.(AP): They died for the UnitedStates as immigrant foreignnationals, but they will beburied as U.S. citizens.

The Bureau of Citizen-ship and Immigration Ser-vices, through acting direc-tor Eduardo Aguire, signedpapers Wednesday grantingposthumous citizenship toMarine Cpl. José AngelGaribay and Lance Cpl. JoséGutierrez, who were killed incombat in Iraq.

The two Marines weregranted citizenship underPresident George Bush’s July2002 executive order that al-lows family of military person-nel killed under specific con-ditions, such as war, to applyfor posthumous citizenship.

Gutierrez, 22, of Lomita,died March 21 at the port cityof Umm Qasr, becoming oneof the first casualties of war.

When he was 14, Gutierrezcrossed into California aftertaking trains from Guatemalathrough México. The orphanfound a foster family, at-tended high school in South-ern California, and thenjoined the Marine Corps. Hewas assigned as an infantryrifleman with the 2nd Battal-ion, 1st Marine Regiment, atCamp Pendleton, Calif.

Cardinal Roger Mahonycelebrated a funeral mass forGutierrez on Monday at St.Margaret Mary AlacoqueCatholic Church in Lomitaand burial will be in Guate-mala, the Archdiocese of LosAngeles said.

Garibay, 21, of CostaMesa, died March 23 inNasiriyah, south of Baghdad.He was a native of Jalisco,

Posthumouscitizenshipgranted to twoLatinos killedin IraqBy CHELSEA J. CARTERAssociated Press Writer

México, whose family movedto the United States when hewas a baby. Garibay joinedthe Marines three years agoand was assigned to the 1stBattalion, 2nd Marine Regi-ment, 2nd Marine Expedi-tionary Brigade, at CampLejeune, N.C.

His family was awaiting thereturn of his remains. Once re-turned, the family will hold amemorial service in Costa Mesa.

Marine Maj. Brian Dolan,who has been helping theGaribay family, told The Or-ange County Register that theMarine Corps facilitated thecitizenship process afterGaribay’s mother, Simona,mentioned that it was her son’sdream to become a citizen.

“Her son died fighting forthis country, so I certainlythink it is warranted that herson gained citizenship and isburied as an American citi-zen,” Dolan said.
