Despite being a volunteer, Ms. Torres has
earned certifications to
help undocumented
immigrants to file their

for the naturalization
test, and put together a
dossier for consideration by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials. She also helps

cases (DACA), asylum
cases and waivers. Ms.
Torres also is a member
of En Camino and the
Catholic Legal Immigration
Network
Inc. (CLINIC).
She hopes more people will
step up and volunteer to help
undocumented families in light
of the continuing political stalemate on immigration reform.
“I think so—and they need
to be a bit more compassionate.
A lot of times, I get people who
are not trusting lawyers, because
they’ve seen where a lot of lawyers take their money, don’t do
anything,” she said. “We’re
nonprofit, we don’t charge fees.
We’re in it for the people and
they do relate to that. We’re a
church, we’re there and we’re
fighting for them.”
In her professional role at SS.
Peter and Paul Catholic Church,
Ms. Torres also helps to organize the annual parish festival
and special event fundraisers.
This past Mother’s Day was
perhaps the biggest one in parish history at Central Catholic
High School, as Ms. Torres was
instrumental in setting up a benefit concert with Ramón Ayala y
Sus Bravos del Norte, a Grammy
Award-winning musician, composer, and songwriter of norteño
and conjunto music, who has
been dubbed the “King of the
Accordion.” The 68-year old
musician, composer, and
songwriter was born in
Monterrey, Nuevo León,
México and has recorded more
than 100 albums and has been
featured in 13 movies during a
career that spans more than 40
years.
But she goes about that work
as quietly as she does her volunteer task as an immigration advocate.
“I don’t like any recognition. I just do it because I love
what I do. I do it from the kindness of my heart,” she said. “I
just love people. I’m here if
anyone would ever need assistance and I try to find whatever
resources I can for them.”

Hundreds rally outside of ICE
Office in Cleveland to demand
justice for families targeted for
deportation
By www.ameicasvoice.org
CLEVELAND, Sept. 23,
2014: President Barack
Obama decided to wait on
immigration policy reforms
until after the November midterm elections. But from now
until November, scores of
Ohio families—including
many with U.S. citizen members—face imminent deportation. According to its organizers, “Their lives simply
cannot wait for an election to
take place; they need action
from the Obama Administration today.”
Local leaders and members of the community organized a rally outside of the
local ICE office in downtown
Cleveland to call on the
Obama Administration to “do
the right thing and keep mothers and fathers together with
their families.” Buses of
people from Norwalk, Lorain,
Painesville, Akron, and Columbus gathered to hear stories and testimonies from families facing imminent deportation.
One of the families featured
at the rally was that of Pedro
Hernández-Ramírez and his
U.S. citizen wife, Seleste
Wisniewski-Hernández. Pedro
has lived in Lorain, OH for over
ten years and serves as the primary caregiver to his stepson
Juan, a twenty-five year-old
man with severe cerebral palsy.
After granting him a one-
year stay of deportation last
year, then denying Pedro’s
renewal request last month,
ICE finally did the right thing
and reversed their latest decision this afternoon, hours after the rally.
The reversal also came after a Sunday mass and prayer
at St. Casimir’s Church in support of Pedro and Seleste,
which marks the third time
that the congregation—many
of whom are immigrants from
Poland—has rallied to help a
Mexican immigrant facing deportation.
The cases of two Columbus women also featured at
the rally: Marinela MartínezMagaña—a mother of three
U.S. citizens who’s facing deportation after trying to pay a
traffic ticket and Esmeralda
Cornejo—also a mother of U.S.
citizen children who is required to report for deportation just after the elections –
remain unresolved. “Like
Pedro, Marinela and Esmeralda
don’t have months to wait for
the elections to be over; they
and their children need the
Obama Administration to act
today.”

Mexican Consulate brings ID services to
Wisconsin
APPLETON,Wis.,Sept.29,
2014 (AP): Wisconsin officials
are working to better serve the
rapidly growing Latino community in the state, with a little
help from the Mexican Consulate in Chicago.
A mobile version of the
Chicago-based office issued
passports and consular identification cards to hundreds of
Mexican nationals at an
Appleton church last week,
Post-Crescent Media (http://
post.cr/ZkXRU3 ) reported.
About 800 people took advantage of the services at First
English Lutheran Church
from last Wednesday to Saturday, according to Alfredo
Gómez Sepulveda, a coordinator of the consulate’s mobile program.
About once a month, the
mobile office visits a Wisconsin city to renew Mexican passports and consular identification cards, saving thousands
of people from having to take
a trip to Chicago. The consulate has served more than 9,900
Mexican nationals so far in 2014
by offering services in
Appleton, Beloit, Green Bay,
Kenosha, Milwaukee, Racine,
and Waukesha, according to
Sepulveda.
“It’s more than a three-hour
trip to Chicago and the passport
is the primary form of ID. So it’s
a service that the Chicago consulate provides ... to attend to
Mexican nationals over here,”
Sepulveda said.
The consulate also serves
Mexican nationals living in
northern Illinois and Indiana.
Gov. Scott Walker met with
Mexican Undersecretary Sergio
AlcoceronFridaytodiscussopening a consulate in Milwaukee.
“It was a positive meeting
and we’ll continue to work with
them collaboratively as we
move forward with the process,”
said Laurel Patrick, the
governor’s press secretary.
In a letter to the president of
Mexico last year, Walker used the
mobile program to illustrate the
state’s need for a permanent site.
“This mobile service is
greatly appreciated, but the
fact that the consulate in
Chicago has recognized the
growing demand for their services and has developed a
mobile consulate demonstrates the need for another
consulate in the Midwest,”
Walker told President
Enrique Peña Nieto.
Sepulveda said negotiations for a permanent office in
Wisconsin have begun and
more details may emerge next
year.
“It’s a process that’s very
advanced and there might be
more concrete news for 2015,
when there’s a very good
chance that the Mexican consulate for Wisconsin will be
opening in 2015, but that’s
still in process,” he said.
More than 6 percent of
Wisconsin’s population identifies as Latino, according to
U.S. Census Bureau data from
2013.

OBITUARIES
MARÍA ANDAVERDE
María Guadalupe “Lupita” Andaverde, 86, of Genoa, OH, died late evening, Wednesday, September 24, 2014, at the Genoa Retirement Village. She was born on March 2,
1928, in Edcouch, Texas, to Martin and Gregoria (née Villarreal) Ramirez. On July 21,
1946, in Weslaco, Texas, she married Edelmiro “Andy” Andaverde and he preceded her
in death on July 30, 2005. María attended Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in
Genoa, where she and her husband were founding members of the Guadalupe Society
of which María was a past treasurer, vice president and president.
In the 1960s María and her husband organized and were responsible for helping to
introduce the summer Mexican Masses to the migrant community at Our Lady of Lourdes
Catholic Church. María was well known for her excellent Mexican cooking throughout
the area and was often called to help cook and organize the funeral luncheons for the
Mexican community. She also catered Mexican wedding receptions and quinceañeras
for family and friends.
María was a loving wife, mother and grandmother, who enjoyed spending time with
her children and grandchildren at all family gatherings. She especially loved each and
every one of her grandchildren and will be greatly missed by them at future family events.
Some of her favorite pastimes were playing bingo, word search puzzles, watching her
novellas, watching her favorite TV program, Sabado Gigante with Don Francisco,
listening to Mexican music, and gardening for which she truly had a “green thumb.”
María is survived by her children José (Mary Lou) Andaverde, Ricardo (Grace) Andaverde,
Reynaldo “Manny” (Sandy) Andaverde, Daniel Andaverde (Cathy Clarkcone), Irma
(William) Wolph, Rene (Cinda) Andaverde, and Ludivina “Lulu” Andaverde (Clare
Cain).
She is also survived by 19 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, and one greatgreat-grandchild. Other survivors include her sisters, Ninfa Orozco and Manuela “Mela”
(Ignacio) García; brothers, Remigio (Marta) Ramirez, Victor “Tito” (Carmen) Ramirez
and Rudolfo “Rudy” (Aurora) Ramirez, along with many nieces and nephews.
María was preceded in death by her parents; husband; daughter, Mary Jane Andaverde;
grandson, Bhart Andaverde; former daughter-in-law, Sandra (Sooy) Andaverde; infant
sister, Angelita Ramirez, and infant brothers, Rene, Domingo, and Marcelo Ramirez;
sister-in-law, Gloria López, and brothers-in-law, Eduardo “Eddie” Orozco and Ernesto
“Ernie” Padilla.
RAÚL HERNÁNDEZ SR.
Raúl “Blackie” Hernández, Sr., age 84, of Toledo, OH, passed away on Saturday,
September 27, 2014, at home. He was born August 14, 1930, in Odem, TX. He married
his “Chuy,” Lola Hernández, on November 12, 1958, who preceded him in death. Those
who knew him knew what he liked including music by Fats Domino, but that didn’t stop
him from being a loyal husband, father and hardworking man. He retired in 1985 from
Royster’s
Fertilizing
Co.
Raúl was the last Tio to the families of his sisters, Trinidad Salas, María Mendiola, and
brother, Felix Hernández, all who preceded him in death.
He was also preceded in death by his son, Rudy Sr. and grandson, Thomas. Surviving
are his children, Raúl Jr. (Crystal), Paul (Laura), Norma, Valerie and Alexandra Hernández;
14 grandchildren, 29 great- grandchildren, many nephews and nieces, including, Nico
(Nicole Magaña) who will miss him dearly. Although he’s gone, we know he’s going to
Da Le Shine on that Blueberry Hill with his Chuy.

“Para nosotros era
importante ver al amante,

Ramírez, cuyos créditos
también incluyen “Zero Dark

“Yo traté de cruzar, de

contradicciones presentes en
la vida de Bolívar, el
romanticismo de su época, las
contradicciones inherentes al

Bolívar que interpreté, a ese
hombre tratando de cambiar su
mundo”, añadió.
El filme se estrenó en julio
en Venezuela, donde se han
vendido más de 680.000
boletos hasta la fecha, de
acuerdo con Ana Loehnert, una
de los productores.
Pero aunque ha sido bien
recibida, también ha sido
criticada por las licencias
interpretativas que se toma. Por
ejemplo: asume que el amor de
Bolívar no fue su célebre amante
Manuela Sáenz sino su esposa
y no muestra al prócer retratado
en cuadros, de baja estatura y
contextura delgada, sino a un
militar corpulento y de buen
porte.
Estas interpretaciones
fueron hechas conscientemente,
para dar vida al Bolívar que
querían mostrar, aseguró
Ramírez.
“No se podía tomar
decisiones creativas en base a lo
que la gente pudiera pensar. No
vas a complacer a todos, ni en
Venezuela ni en ningún lugar”,
puntualizó el actor de 37 años.
“Las decisiones creativas no se
tomaron en función de eso, ni
para avanzar ni desmovilizar
(causas)”.
Añadió que espera que el
filme, aunque no se haya hecho
con afanes políticos o sociales,
sirva para crear espacios de
reencuentro y reconciliación
entre los sectores polarizados
de su país natal, que está
viviendo un clima de violencia.
“Como venezolano, de
manera particular, desearía que
la nobleza de la historia
(contada en el filme) pudiera
abrir espacios para la discusión
sana, para el reencuentro, para
la discusión constructiva y para
la reconciliación”, dijo. “Es lo
que cualquier persona a la que
le duele y ama a su país quiere
que suceda”.
“Libertador” es una
coproducción
hispanovenezolana que costó unos 50
millones de dólares, la
producción más cara que se
haya hecho en Venezuela. Fue
dirigida por el venezolano
Alberto Arvelo y cuenta con
música original de Gustavo
Dudamel, director de la
Filamónica de Los Ángeles. El
guion estuvo a cargo de Timothy Sexton, el mismo que

said.

which featured Adelante’s programs and services.
Ms. Martínez is no stranger
to the nonprofit world. She
spent 15 years at Mercy Health
Partners overseeing its
Americorps program, which
placed anywhere from 25 to
65 paid staff at various nonprofit groups throughout the
community. She served as a
liaison with between 12 to 21
partner agencies at any given
time—the East Toledo Family Center, the Padua Center,
American Red Cross, the
Friendly Center, Frederick
Douglass Community Center,
and Toledo GROWS, among
others.
“I am accustomed to collaborating and working on
several teams at once, while
still being conscious of their
goals and missions,” she said
with a hearty laugh. “I’ve already been calling around to
let them know what I’m doing
now. They’ve already offered
help, because this is a big
challenge, a big responsibility for me. I’m certainly not
going to pretend like I have
all the answers. I value others’
experience.”
Ms. Martínez also is the
daughter of long-time Toledo
Latina activist Dolores
Rodríguez and admitted she
has learned a lot about community service from her mom,
who raised eight kids on her
own.
“My whole life my mom
has been a civil servant,” said
Ms. Martínez. “Since a little
girl, I’ve been going to this

meeting or that meeting, tagging along with her whether I
liked it or not. Service, in my
family, is extremely important—a lesson we learned from
my mom when we were very
young. We may have been
struggling ourselves, but that
was the way we were raised—
you have to help others.”
With that culture of servant leadership now instilled
and ingrained in her life, Ms.
Martínez now “takes pride” in
the opportunity to continue it
as a profession. She admitted
some of her friends and colleagues still don’t understand
the mentality she and her siblings have about volunteering their time and talent to
various causes.
“I will be out and about in
the community, talking about
the programs and the upcoming projects happening here,”
she said. “I really want the
community to know what a
special place this is.”
Ms. Martínez, 42, is a single
mom with three children—
ages 20, 14, and 4—as she put
it, “a preschooler, a highschooler, and a college student.” She hopes those lessons
learned from her own mom can
be passed down to her own
kids, as well as using her new
role to teach Latino art and
culture to a new generation of
young people.
“So we don’t lose it, so we
can preserve it, and incorporate it into other realms of life,”
she said. “Getting youth to be
proud of our culture in positive ways—proud of who they
are, proud of their roots, understanding their history, where
we come from. Get them off the
street and to develop that energy in a more positive focus.”

Toma control de tus deudas
por Jean C. Setzfand
Sea la hipoteca, las
tarjetas de crédito o los
préstamos para estudiantes
de los chicos, la deuda de
consumo representa, para
millones de personas, una
carga muy pesada. Cuando
tienes mucha deuda, se te
dificulta mucho más ahorrar
para la jubilación. En la
actualidad,
más
estadounidenses que nunca
acumulan deudas que deben
seguir pagando durante la
jubilación.
Aunque puede consolarte
saber que no eres el único con
deudas, también puedes hacer
algo para enfrentarte al
problema.
Visita
www.aarp.org/money, donde
brindamos recursos e
información sobre cómo
diseñar un presupuesto,
recortar gastos y usar tus
ahorros para cancelar tus
deudas. Mientras tanto, a
continuación brindamos
algunas maneras de comenzar.
Haz la cuenta
El primer paso es hacer
una lista de las deudas que
tienes y cuánto pagas cada
mes. Comienza con una hoja
de papel en blanco. Revisa
cada estado de cuenta y anota
el pago mensual y la tasa de
interés (algunas veces
denominado el interés
crediticio) de cada deuda.
Tus deudas podrían
incluir:
• Hipotecas. Podrías tener
una tasa de interés fija, o
tener una hipoteca de tasa
variable (ARM).
•
Préstamos
de
automóvil. El interés
crediticio normalmente tiene
una tasa de interés fija.
• Préstamos o líneas de
crédito sobre el valor
acumulado de la vivienda.
Los préstamos sobre el valor
acumulado de la vivienda
tienen una tasa de interés fija,
pero si tienes una línea de
crédito, podría tener una tasa
variable.
• Préstamos para
estudiantes. Si eres el titular
del préstamo, anota los
pagos y la tasa de interés. Si
firmastes conjuntamente
con un hijo o nieto, cerciórate
de que él o ella esté al día con
los pagos, para que tu
calificación crediticia no se
afecte negativamente.
• Tarjetas de crédito. Las
tasas de interés de las tarjetas
de crédito pueden variar
muchísimo. Pueden abarcar
desde un 0%, la oferta especial que recibiste cuando
solicitaste una tarjeta nueva,
hasta el 20% o más.
Ahora que tienes una
buena idea de la magnitud
del problema, puedes tomar
medidas para comenzar a
reducir tus deudas.
Busca la ayuda
adecuada
Si sientes que estás en una
situación más complicada de
lo que te imaginabas, es
posible encontrar ayuda, pero
ten cuidado con las estafas.
Miles de estafadores se
ganan la vida con las estafas
de reducción de deudas, así
que procede con prudencia.
Puedes comenzar a solicitar
ayuda con confianza de la
National Foundation for
Credit Counseling (NFCC,
Fundación Nacional para el
Asesoramiento Crediticio),
en www.nfcc.org. A través de
la NFCC, puedes conectarte
con un asesor que te ayude
con las deudas de las tarjetas
de crédito y demás, además
de ayudarte con el
presupuesto.
La Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (Oficina
para la Protección Financiera
del
Consumidor,
www.cfpb.gov)
está
encargada de perseguir a los
que se dedican a las prácticas
abusivas en préstamos. Una
nueva regla de la agencia te
permite recibir tu puntuación
crediticia gratuitamente si
debido
a
ella
has
experimentado
algún
problema, como por ejemplo
no haber sido aprobado para
un préstamo.
Usted puede obtener un
informe de crédito anual
gratuito de cada uno de los
tres servicios de presentación
de informes a nivel nacional
– Experian, Equifax, and
TransUnion—en
www.AnnualCreditReport.com.
Reduce la deuda de
las tarjetas de crédito
Estas son algunas maneras
de controlar la deuda de las
tarjetas de crédito:
• Llama a las compañías
de las tarjetas de crédito y
solicita una tasa de interés
más baja. Podrían estar
dispuestas a hacerlo,
especialmente si esto
significa que con el tiempo
cancelarás la deuda por
completo.
• Paga más que el mínimo
exigido cada mes. Utiliza la
calculadora de AARP para
cancelar la deuda de las
tarjetas de crédito, en
www.aarp.org/money, para
ver el impacto que tiene pagar
más que el mínimo. Busca la
calculadora para cancelar la
deuda de las tarjetas de
crédito en el lado izquierdo
de la página.
• Paga tus cuentas a
tiempo para evitar pagar
recargos por mora y tasas de
interés más altas.
• Considera consolidar
toda tu
deuda de
tarjetas de
crédito en una sola tarjeta, la
que tenga la tasa de interés
más baja. Sin embargo, ten
presente estas advertencias:
• Las compañías de
tarjetas
de
crédito
normalmente cobran por este
servicio. Cerciórate de
entender los cargos.
• Aclara la tasa de interés
que te cobrarán sobre los
saldos que transfieras a la
tarjeta, y por cuánto tiempo
permanecerá en efecto.
• Averigua la tasa que te
cobrarán por compras
nuevas.
• Si tienes varias tarjetas,
considera cancelar primero
la deuda de la que tenga el
saldo más bajo. La
satisfacción de cancelar la
deuda de una tarjeta puede
ser muy motivadora.
• Al anular una tarjeta,
hazlo por escrito y mantén
un registro de la anulación.
Evita acumular más
deuda
Puedes hacer varias cosas
para evitar aumentar tu
deuda, entre ellas salir a
comer menos, apagar las
luces, bajar la calefacción
cuando no estás en casa y
resistirte a comprar artículos
que “deseas” pero realmente
no “necesitas”.
Si dependes mucho del
plástico para pagar los gastos
cotidianos, la mejor manera
de gastar menos es pagar en
efectivo. Si no tienes
suficiente dinero en efectivo
para pagar una compra, no la
hagas. Para más ideas acerca
de cómo recortar gastos,
échale un vistazo a
www.aarp.org/money/budgeting-saving.
Si no logras tomar control
de tus deudas, considera
conseguir un segundo
empleo a tiempo parcial y
usar ese sueldo para pagar las
deudas. Una vez que estés
libre de deudas, comienza a
ahorrar el dinero que has
estado usando para cancelar
las deudas.
