WASHINGTON, DC,March 22, 2017 (AP):Donald Trump’s nomineeto lead the Labor Depart-ment said Wednesday hewon’t allow potential po-litical pressure from Trumpto influence his hiring deci-sions and regrets he let thathappen on his watch at theJustice Department (DOJ).

But Alexander Acosta,testifying before the SenateHealth, Labor, Educationand Pensions Committee,said little about what hewould do about overtimepay and other issues if con-firmed for the job. He wouldbe the first Latino memberof Trump’s Cabinet.

Ultimately, Acosta said,the president would be his“boss.”

“That’s what I’m wor-ried about,” retorted Sen.Patty Murray, the topDemocrat on the commit-tee.

The Florida Interna-tional University lawschool dean, whose careerwas touched by a politicalhiring scandal while he ledthe Civil Rights Divisionunder President George W.Bush, said he’s “veryaware” that thedepartment’s internalwatchdog criticized himfor insufficiently supervis-ing a subordinate.

“I deeply regret it,” said

Acosta.Murray asked whether

Acosta would stand up to anypolitical pressure fromTrump. Acosta’s reply: “Po-litical views on the hiring ofcareer attorneys for staffshould not be used. If I amasked to do that I will notallow it.”

Acosta declined to out-line the policies he wouldpursue. For example, hewould not say whether hewould defend the rule ex-tending overtime pay to some4 million more people thathad been blocked last yearby a federal court in Texas.Nor would he say whichother rules and regulationshe would pull back, notingthat Trump ordered Cabinetsecretaries to review them.

“I think it’s important thatwe eliminate regulations thatare not serving a useful pur-pose,” he said under ques-tioning by Sen. ElizabethWarren, D-Mass.

The committee chairman,Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., made clear he wantsdozens of Obama-era rulesoverturned, including theprospect of overtime that hesaid would burden businesses.

“One rule after another hasstacked a big, wet blanket ofcosts and time-consumingmandates on job creators,causing them to create fewerjobs,” Alexander said.

Introducing Acosta weretwo 2016 presidentialnominees, both Latino,were lost to Trump. GOPSens. Marco Rubio ofFlorida and Ted Cruz ofTexas said Acosta was quali-fied to head the Labor De-partment.

Acosta, the 48-year-oldson of Cuban immigrants,has been unanimously con-firmed by the Senate threetimes—to the National La-bor Relations Board, to leadthe Justice Department’scivil rights division and tobecome South Florida’sfederal prosecutor.

That means nominee hasreceived some screening, afact Trump and Senate Re-publicans have cited.

At the hearing, Demo-crats kept alive the name ofTrump’s first labor nomi-nee, Andrew Puzder. Thefast food CEO withdrewfrom consideration on theeve of his confirmation hear-ing after questions abouthis hiring of a housekeepernot authorized to work inthe U.S. and about otherissues. Puzder could not getenough Republican sup-port to be confirmed.

Acosta is in no such jeop-ardy. One Democrat haseven pledged for vote forhim: Sen. Ben Nelson ofAcosta’s home state ofFlorida.

LOS ANGELES, 23 III 17(AP): Puerto Rico volvió aquedarse a la orilla de la gloriamáxima en el Clásico Mundialde Béisbol.

Con sus bates silenciadosen la final, los puertorriqueñossucumbieron el miércoles 8-0ante Estados Unidos y porsegunda edición seguidadebieron conformarse con elsubcampeonato.

Y luego de cuatro fallidosintentos, el anfitrión EstadosUnidos se adjudicó el títulopor primera vez.

Marcus Stroman amansó ala ofensiva más productiva deltorneo al lanzar seis innings enblanco e Ian Kinsler bateó unjonrón de dos carreras paraliderar la contundente victoriaestadounidense.

Puerto Rico perdió porprimera vez en ocho partidosen esta edición y superar a susrivales con un marcador glo-bal de 55-26, los boricuasapenas pudieron dar tres hitsen la final que se le puso acontra corriente con el jonrónde Kinsler en el tercer inning.

Fue un desenlace igual deamargo a la de la final de hacecuatro años, cuando perdieronpor blanqueada ante laRepública Dominicana.

Pero Francisco Lindor,Carlos Correa y Javier Báez_tres jugadores cuyas carrerasapenas despuntan_ lesilusionan para futurasediciones.

“No nos sentimosfrustrados. Este es un equipojoven que en los próximos tresClásicos dará mucho de quéhablar”, dijo el managerboricua Edwin Rodríguez.

“Yo me siento muyorgulloso por este equipo ytodo Puerto Rico también poreste equipo joven, que tieneun gran futuro”, añadió.“Levantamos ese ánimocolectivo en tiempos difícilesen Puerto Rico”.

Stroman, proclamado comoel Jugador Más Valioso deltorneo, se desquitó de su malasalida en la derrota 6-5 antePuerto Rico en la segundaronda.

El derecho retiró conrodados a los tres primerosbateadores que enfrentó. Entotal, permitió un hit, recetótres ponches y concedió unboleto al emplear 73

lanzamientos.“Nos dominaron en todas

las facetas del juego”,reconoció Rodríguez. “Creoque los dos mejores equiposdel torneo estuvieron en la fi-nal y Estados Unidos nosganó”.

Para los estadounidenses,la consagración tiene unsignificado inmenso trasdecepcionantes resultadosprevios, incluyendo dosoportunidades en las quenaufragaron en la segundaronda.

Todo fue distinto esta vez.“Queríamos poner a

Estados Unidos en la cúspidedel béisbol mundial y lologramos”, expresó el primerabase Eric Hosmer.

Aunque luminarias comoMike Trout y Clayton Kershawdeclinaron participar, el man-ager Jim Leyland pudo reunirun equipo con el suficientetalento para levantar la coronaen casa.

“No tengo la intención deque se me mal interprete pero,en gran medida y hasta ahora,los otros países se tomabaneste torneo con algo más deseriedad que Estados Unidos”,afirmó Leyland, de 72 años.“Conversándolo con nuestrosjugadores, sé que van a correrla voz. Varios jugadores mehan dicho que esta es laexperiencia más grande de susvidas”

No fue hasta el séptimocuando Puerto Rico pudoconectar su primer hit anteStroman. Fue un doble de ÁngelPagán por el bosque izquierdoal abrir la entrada y Stromanfue relevado de inmediato,recibiendo una ovación de pie.

Stroman transfirió conboleto a Carlos Beltrán al abrirel segundo, pero su defensasalió a su auxilio. YadierMolina bateó un rodadodirecto al torpedero BrandonCrawford, quien inició el dobleplay. Stroman procedió aponchar a Báez para poner final inning.

En 2013, Stroman tuiteóque representaría a PuertoRico, donde su madre. Peroacabó jugando para EstadosUnidos.

“Ha sido una experienciaincreíble”, señaló el pitcher.“Y voy a volver dentro decuatro para defender el título”.

Frente a 51.565 en elDodger Stadium, EstadosUnidos descargó un ataque de13 hits en su primera final yterminó el torneo con marca de6-2.

Kinsler la desapareció porel izquierdo-central en cuentade 0-1 ante Seth Lugo,remolcando a JonathanLucroy, cuyo sencillo puso enmarcha el tercer acto.

Lugo toleró cuatro carrerasy cinco hits, con siete ponchesy cuatro boletos en cuatro in-nings. El derecho se acreditó lavictoria en sus primeras dosaperturas del certamen,incluyendo el partido anteStroman y Estados Unidos.

En ese juego, Stromanpermitió seis hits seguidosdentro de un racimo de cuatrocarreras en el primer inning ycargó con la derrota ante PuertoRico en San Diego.

Los estadounidenses sedespegaron 4-0 en el quintotras sencillos remolcadores deChristian Yelich y AndrewMcCutchen.

En medio de un ambientede jolgorio en las gradas, losfanáticos de Estados Unidosempezaron a palpitar lavictoria. Se pusieron de piecuando el local congestionólas bases en el séptimo con dosouts y festejaron más con elsencillo de dos carreras deCrawford frente a J.C. Romero,aumentando la diferencia a 6-0.

Estados Unidos añadió unacarrera más mediante unsencillo remolcador deGiancarlo Stanton ante HiramBurgos.

Un sencillo productor deMcCutchen con dos outs en eloctavo puso el 8-0 definitivo.

Rumbo al título, losestadounidenses derrotaron alos dos campeones previos: aDominicana en el cierre de lasegunda ronda y a Japón_ganador de las primeras dosediciones_ en la semifinal.

“Estos jugadores sepresentaron para rendir almáximo”, señaló Joe Torre, elgerente de la selecciónestadounidense. “Lo que másme asombró fue lo rápido quese pusieron en armonía y Jimmy(Leyland) se merecer muchode ese crédito. Es un gran grupoque entendió el significado deeste torneo”.

El invitado especial este añoes Alex Nogales, Presidente yCEO de National HispanicMedia Coalition. Nogales haabogado sin descanso por lacomunidad latina. En su cargoactual, dirige una organizaciónen defensa de los medios y losderechos civiles que trabajanpor el progreso de los latinos,para que tengan un acceso uni-versal, accesible y abierto a lascomunicaciones.

Bajo su liderazgo, laCoalición ha presentado másde 50 peticiones por negarciertas licencias de la FCC a lasradiodifusoras, así comoparticipar en boicots,manifestaciones y otrasacciones de equidad de losmedios de comunicación.Cuando los latinos en televisiónen inglés y en español fueronsubestimados por la Compañíade Investigación de A.C.Nielsen, Nogales lideró unalucha para obligar a Nielsen aabordar este déficit. Según suestimación, el bajo recuento deNielsen limitó lasoportunidades de empleolatino en la televisión de hablainglesa, así como desalentó eldesarrollo de la programacióncon temas latinos.

Fox Television, aliada deNogales en la lucha, firmó

recientemente un acuerdo conNielsen en virtud del cualNielsen comprometiócincuenta millones de dólarespara capacitar mejor a susrepresentantes de campo paraentrenar a los hogares deNielsen en cómo usarcorrectamente su equipo demedición.

Asimismo, Alex Nogales seha reunido con los principalesejecutivos de televisión porcable y televisión, instándolesa garantizar la imparcialidad yexactitud de sus historias queafectan a la comunidad latina.En una de esas reuniones, afinales de 2009, Alex se reuniócon el presidente de CNN JonKlein y le instó a mantener aLou Dobbs como un periodistacreíble o que lo despidieran.Una semana más tarde, Dobbsrenunció a CNN.

En la actualidad, Nogales seencuentra evaluando eldesempeño en la diversidad delas cuatro principalestelevisoras y entidades demedios desafiantes que utilizanun discurso de odio contra lacomunidad de inmigranteslatinos. También participa cadavez más en las políticas demedios y telecomunicacionesque afectan a la comunidadlatina, como las relacionadascon la diversificación de lapropiedad de los medios decomunicación, el despliegue yadopción de la banda ancha y laneutralidad de la red.

El costo del boleto paraparticipar en el evento es $25para estudiantes y $40 parapúblico en general. Para haceruna reservación, favor de llamaral (269) 387-4420. Mayorinformación enwww.swmchavez.org o conMiguel Ramírez de WMU [email protected] oal Tel. (269) 387-4420.

“El Departamento deSeguridad Interna secompromete a asegurar quegente que quiere participaren actividades o usarservicios ofrecidos en ciertoslugares sensibles puedahacerlo sin miedo o dudas”,dijo la portavoz RachaelYong Yow en un correoenviado a The AssociatedPress.

De Blasio anunció lasnuevas directrices, querefuerzan una política deprotección ya vigente, comorespuesta a órdenesejecutivas que DonaldTrump ha emitido parafacilitar la detección, arrestoy deportación deinmigrantes sin autorización

Hace aproximadamenteun mes, autoridades estatalesneoyorquinas recordaron alas escuelas del estado queagentes de servicios deinmigración no pueden sacara estudiantes del recinto es-colar o interrogarles sinconsentimiento de los padres,excepto si se ha cometido un

crimen. Cualquier pedidode información sobre elmenor debe consultarseantes con un abogado o losencargados del distrito es-colar, señalaron.

La presidenta delConsejo Municipal deNueva York, lapuertorriqueña MelissaMark-Viverito, dijo en larueda de prensa que lasescuelas verificaránórdenes de arresto quepresenten agentes deinmigración y que hayansido firmadas por un juez.La comisionada deEducación de la ciudad,Carmen Fariñas, dijo queno ha notado menorpresencia de estudiantes enlas escuelas debido almiedo, pero sí menosasistencia en reuniones depadres.

DEARBORN, 23 III17(AP): Rahim AlHajcried every time he readthe letters of eight Iraqissharing personal, harrow-ing tales of love, loss andhope in wartime since the2003 U.S.-led invasion.

Rather than retreat,the Iraqi-American com-poser and musician im-mersed himself in the sto-ries and emerged with acollection of songs toillustrate them.

AlHaj is touring theUnited States in supportof the resulting album,“Letters from Iraq,”which is set to be offi-cially released nextmonth on theSmithsonian Folkwayslabel.

The Grammy-nomi-nated AlHaj, who livesin Albuquerque, NewMexico, says he felt “ob-ligated to make these sto-ries” and share whatpeople have endured inhis homeland.

He spoke to The As-sociated Press from theDetroit suburb ofDearborn, where he willperform Friday at theArab American NationalMuseum.

trabajando arduamente losrepresentantes de cadauniversidad para que el festi-val sea todo un éxito. Tengocuatro años en el comitéorganizador y es muygratificante ver la acogida quese va teniendo año con año”.

“Lo más maravilloso es queparticipa la comunidad enteray no me refiero solo a los latinos,ni a la comunidad anglosajona,sino a un conjunto de gente ensu totalidad, tanto estudiantescomo adultos que vienen alfestival y hemos tenido entre800 y 1000 asistentes en total,durante los días que dura elfestival”, agregó laentrevistada, quien confiesaque el objetivo es incrementarla participación comunitariaeste año.

NUEVA YORK, 19 III 17(AP): Chuck Berry, el primernarrador y guitarrista estrella delrock, que reflejó la alegría y larebeldía de esta música enclásicos como “Johnny B.Goode”, “Sweet Little Sixteen”y “Roll Over Beethoven”, murióel sábado en su casa al oeste deSt. Louis. Tenía 90 años.

Los rescatistas convocadospor su cuidadora a la residenciade Berry, ubicada en un área noincorporada a ningún órganoadministrativo local, lo hallaroninconsciente alrededor de las12:40 de la tarde, indicó en uncomunicado la policía delcondado St. Charles en Missouri.Los intentos por reanimarlofracasaron, y fue declaradomuerto poco antes de la 1:30 dela tarde.

Val Joyner, vocera de lapolicía, le dijo a The AssociatedPress que no tenía detallesadicionales sobre la muerte delmúsico, de quien dijo era“realmente una leyenda”.

Su repertorio abarca unas tresdocenas de canciones y suinfluencia fue incalculable. LosBeatles, los Rolling Stones yprácticamente cualquier grupoque se considere de rock ‘n’ roll,pasando por las bandas queensayan en garajes hasta las quellenan estadios, tienen unadeuda con Berry.

“R.I.P. y paz y amor ChuckBerry señor música de rock ‘n’roll”, tuiteó Ringo Starr enreacción al fallecimiento. “Sólodéjame escuchar algo de esamúsica de rock ‘n’ roll...”, afirmoel baterista de los Beatles, en unacita de un éxito del cantautor.

Mientras que Elvis Presley ledio al rock su imagen lujuriosay su meneo de caderas, Berry fueel artista que estableció lafórmula de un sonidorevolucionario y una forma devida. Mucho antes del éxito deBob Dylan, Berry unió elcomentario social con el ritmo yla fiebre de la música popular.

“Cantaba buenas letras, yletras inteligentes, en la décadade 1950, cuando la gente cantaba‘Oh, nena, te amo tanto”’, observóJohn Lennon alguna vez.

Berry, ya cerca de los 30 añosy antes de su primer gran éxito,escribía canciones queconectaban con los adolescentesde la época y se manteníanfrescas décadas después. “SweetLittle Sixteen” describió elmundo de las fans del rock ‘n’roll, una incipiente e inocenteoda a las jóvenes a las queposteriormente se les conociócomo “groupies”(“admiradoras”).

En “School Day” contabalas peripecias en un salón declases (”Historia de EstadosUnidos y matemáticas prácticas;estudias duro con la esperanzade aprobar...”, dice la letra) y laliberación con el rock ‘n’ rollcuando por fin sonaba lacampana al final de la jornada.

“Roll Over Beethoven” fueun himno al poder del rock parahacer historia, mientras que“Rock and Roll Music” fue unaguía para todas las bandas quesiguieron (“Tiene un ritmo defondo, no puedes perderlo”).

“Back in the U.S.A.” fue unhonesto homenaje de un hombrenegro a su país, en una época enla que no había garantías de quea Berry lo atenderían en lascafeterías y restaurantes conventanilla para vehículos a losque rendía honores.

“Todo lo que escribí no erasobre mí, sino sobre las personasque escuchaban”, declaróalguna vez el artista.

Berry, como Dylan, podría“comunicar una abundancia degozo infantil en el

descubrimiento lingüístico”,escribió el crítico RobertChristgau en la “Historiailustrada del rock and roll” deRolling Stone. Como el poetaWalt Whitman, añadióChristgau, Berry estaba“totalmente inmerso en EstadosUnidos; los Estados Unidos deMelville y el Ford Edsel, elburlesque y los funeralespagados a plazos”.

“Johnny B. Goode”, lahistoria de un chico campiranoque toca la guitarra y cuyamadre le dice que será unaestrella, fue la cancióndistintiva de Berry, el arquetiponarrativo de los aspirantes aroqueros y una de lasgrabaciones más eufóricas en lahistoria de la música. Berryapenas puede contenerse, laspalabras salen a borbotones desu boca mientras describe losbosques de la Louisiana pro-funda, y el aluvión de guitarra,batería y teclados amplificancada grito de “Go, Johnny Go!”(“íSigue, Johnny sigue!”).

Para este tema se inspiró enparte en Johnnie Johnson, elmaestro del piano de boogie-woogie que colaboró conmuchos de los éxitos de Berry,aunque esa historia podría serfácilmente la de Berry, Presleyo innumerables músicos.

La estrategia comercial hizouniversal a la canción: Berryquería haber descrito a Johnnycomo un chico negro, pero locambió por un “chico decampo”, lo que permitió no sóloque sonara en la radio, sino quemúsicos de cualquier origen seimaginaran como estrellas.

“Es posible que uno tengatalento”, escribió más tardeBerry sobre la canción. “¿Perovendrá la fama y la luz a uno?íNo! íUno tiene que ir por ellas!”.

Johnny B. Goode solo podíaser un guitarrista. La guitarraera el instrumento bandera delrock’ n’ roll, y el claro sonido deBerry, un crisol de destelloscountry y fondo de rhythm ‘nblues, enganchó al menos a unageneración de músicos, comoKeith Richards, de los RollingStones, que una vez reconocióhaber “copiado cada gesto” desu héroe; George Harrison, delos Beatles; Bruce Springsteeno Pete Townshend, de los Who.

En 1986, Berry se hizo unpuesto en el Salón de la Famadel Rock and Roll en Cleve-land, junto a Presley, Holly,Little Richard y otros músicos.

Cuando la NASA lanzó lasonda espacial no tripuladaVoyager I en 1977, un álbumcolocado en la nave explicabala música de la Tierra a losextraterrestres. La únicacanción de rock incluida fue“Johnny B. Goode”.

Charles Edward AndersonBerry nació en St. Louis el 18de octubre de 1926. De niñopracticó un paso para caminarcon las rodillas dobladas que lepermitía pasar bajo las mesas,un preludio del “paso del pato”de sus años adultos. Su madre,como la de Johnny B. Goode, ledijo que triunfaría en grande.

Aficionado al blues, el swingy el boogie woogie, Berryestudió la mecánica misma dela música y cómo se transmitía.De adolescente le encantabadesmontar radios y volver aarmarlos. Con el manual “NickMannaloft’s Guitar Book ofChords” aprendió cómo tocarlos éxitos del momento. Estabafascinado por las progresionesy ritmos de cuerda,descubriendo que muchascanciones tiraban mucho del “IGot Rythm” de Gershwin.

Su carrera musical comenzóa los 15 años, cuando subió al

escenario en un acto escolarpara hacer su propia versión de“Confessin’ the Blues”, de JayMcShann. Berry nuncaolvidaría la ovación querecibió.

“Los ánimos de esainterpretación me ayudarondurante mucho tiempo aprogramar mis canciones, eincluso a tocarlas cuandoactuaba”, escribió en suautobiografía. “Añadía yeliminaba en función de larespuesta del público adiferentes gestos, y elegíacanciones para trabajar sobreun espectáculo que estimularaconstantemente a mi público”.

Por otro lado, tuvoproblemas con la ley queempezaron en 1944, cuando unalegre viaje a Kansas City seconvirtió en una cadena dedelitos que incluyó robos amano armada y de un coche.Berry cumplió tres años de unasentencia de 10 en unreformatorio.

Un año después de suliberación en octubre de 1947,el músico conoció y se casó conThemetta Suggs, que semantuvo a su lado pese a algunasde sus conocidas aventuras.

Berry empezó entonces aactuar con bandas locales. Para1950 había progresado, tocabauna guitarra eléctrica de seiscuerdas y grababa toscasmaquetas en una máquinarudimentaria. En la fiesta deNochevieja de 1952 en el clubCosmopolitan de East St. Louis,Illinois, Johnson llamó a Berrypara suplir a un saxofonistaenfermo en su Sir John Trio. Ledio una oportunidad y suprimera actuación comercial,por 4 dólares, recordaría Berrymás tarde.

“Estaba emocionado. Mimejor momento se convirtió enun lío. Le robé el grupo aJohnnie”, afirmó.

Influido por el líder de bandaLouis Jourdan, el guitarrista deblues T-Bone Walker y elmúsico de jazz Charlie Chris-tian, pero también afín a lamúsica country, las novedadesy el creciente públicoadolescente tras la SegundaGuerra Mundial, Berry firmócon el sello Chicago ChessRecords en 1955.“Maybellene” reconstruyó lacanción de country “Ida Red” yse colocó entre los 10 primerospuestos de las listas nacionalesde pop, un raro logro para unartista negro en esa época.

Según Berry, el dueño de sudiscográfica, Leonard Chess, sevio seducido por la novedad de“un sonido rústico cantado porun hombre negro”, unainversión de las versiones dePresley de temas de blues.

Después llegaron otroséxitos, como “Roll OverBeethoven”, “School Day” y“Sweet Little Sixteen”. Entresus otras canciones están “TooMuch Monkey Business”,“Nadine”, “No Particular PlaceTo Go”, “Almost Grown” y lasubida de tono “My Ding-A-Ling”, que lideró las listas en1972.

Berry también apareció enuna docena de películas,haciendo su característico“paso del pato” en varias cintaspara adolescentes de la décadade 1950. Richards organizó elbien recibido documental de1987 “Hail! Hail! Rock ‘n Roll”,que incluyó fragmentos de unconcierto en el teatro Fox de St.Louis para celebrar el 60cumpleaños de Berry. Allíactuaron Eric Clapton, LittleRichard y Jerry Lee Lewis, querecordó que su propia madre ledijo que el auténtico rey del

rock ‘n’ roll no era él, sinoBerry.

Artistas de la músicacountry, el pop y el rock hangrabado canciones de Berry,como los Beatles (“RollOver Beethoven’’),Emmylou Harris (“YouNever Can Tell’’), BuckOwens (“Johnny B. Goode’’)y AC/DC (“School Days’’).El primer sencillo de losRolling Stones fue unaversión de su tema ``ComeOn’’, y después grabaron``Around and Around’’ y``Let it Rock’’, entre otras.

Los riffs de Berryaparecen en innumerablescanciones de pop, desde lavoraz “Brown Sugar” de losStones hasta la balada country-rock de los Eagles “Peaceful EasyFeeling”.

Berry, abiertamenteinteresado en el lado económicode la música, fue un emprendedorcon un club nocturno en St.Louis y, en una pequeñalocalidad al oeste de allí, unafinca a la que llamó Berry Park,que incluía una casa, una piscinacon forma de guitarra, unrestaurante, casas de campo yuna sala de conciertos.

El artista prefirió no tener unabanda habitual, y en su lugarcontrataba músicos localesdispuestos a trabajar por pocodinero. Uno de los que tuvo unode sus primeros trabajos tocandocon Berry fue Springsteen.

Quemado por una industriaque exigía una parte de susingresos por composición, Berryera muy suspicaz incluso consus admiradores, como podríaver cualquiera al verleinteractuar con Richards en“Hail! Hail! Rock ‘n’ Roll”. Paralos conciertos de la película,confundió a Richards tocando

canciones en claves y temposdiferentes a como se habíanensayado. Richards harecordado que se volvió al restode músicos encogiéndose dehombros y les dijo“Improvisen”.

La carrera de Berry casiterminó unas décadas antes,cuando su Cadillac colormelocotón se averió en St.Charles, Missouri, en 1958. Elmúsico, que viajaba de Kansas aMissouri con una joven llamadaJoan Mathis, fue arrestado yencarcelado brevemente porportar un arma oculta. Un añomás tarde contrató a unaadolescente, Janice Escalante,para trabajar en su club.

A principios de 1960, susrelaciones con Mathis yEscalante llevaron a que se leacusara de violar la ley Mann,que prohibía el transporte de unmenor de edad a través defronteras estatales por“propósitos inmorales”. Unjurado formado íntegramentepor ciudadanos blancos ledeclaró culpable en 1960, perolos cargos fueron retirados

después de que el juezhiciera comentariosracistas. Tras otro juicioen 1961, cumplió añoy medio de unasentencia de tres años.

Berry siguiógrabando tras salir deprisión, y su legado fuereconocido por losBeatles y los Stones,pero sus días de crearéxitos prácticamentehabían terminado.

“Desde elestrellato/entonces caí/a esta humilde celda deprisión”, escribió Berrycuando comenzó susentencia de cárcel.

En 1979 fue acusado dedelitos fiscales y se le impusootra pena de tres años de cárcel,suspendida salvo por 120 días.Una década más tarde, lasautoridades locales registraronsu casa en una redada para buscardrogas y material pornográfico.Los cargos por pornografía seretiraron, y Berry recibió dosaños de libertad condicionalno vigilada por un delito menorpor marihuana.

Después, algunas de susexempleadas le demandaronpor supuestamente grabarlas enel baño de su restaurante. Loscasos terminaron con acuerdosen 1994, después de que Berrypagara 1,3 millones de dólares.

“De hecho parece que cada15 años cometí un gran error”,comentó Berry en susmemorias.

Aun así, recordando la letrade “Back in the U.S.A.”, dijo:“No hay otro lugar en el queprefiriera vivir, incluyendoÁfrica, que Estados Unidos.Creo en el sistema”.

N U E V AYORK, 19 III 17(AP): La cinta“La bella y labestia”, quecombina actoresreales conp e r s o n a j e sanimados, seestrenó en elprimer lugar delas taquillas deEstados Unidosy Canadá,r e c a u d a n d ounos 170millones dedólares duranteel fin de semanay estableciendoun nuevo récordpara películasfamiliares.

La película de Disneysuperó los récords previosde estrenos de cintas aptaspara todo público (PG porsus iniciales en inglés),de acuerdo con cálculosde estudios. El añopasado, “Buscando aDory”, también de Disney,debutó con 135 millonesen la misma categoría, querecomienda que ciertosniños sean acompañadospor sus padres.

“La bella y la bestia”también superó otrosrécords. Hasta ahora, esla película que harecaudado más dinerodurante su fin de semanade estreno y la que harecaudado más en marzo.Se ubica en el séptimolugar de todos lostiempos, una vezdescontado el efecto dela inflación.

El filme, a un costo de160 millones de dólares,fue el proyecto másreciente de Disney pararecrear uno de sus clásicosanimados. La nuevaversión de la película—cuyo original animadoganó un Oscar en 1991—debuta después deadaptaciones de clásicosde Disney que combinanpersonajes reales yanimados, como “Aliciaen el país de lasmaravillas”, “Lacenicienta”, “Maleficent”y “El libro de la selva”, delaño pasado. Otras películasvienen en camino, como“Dumbo”, “Mulan”,

“Aladino” y “El rey león”.“La nostalgia es un

motivador poderoso paraestas cintas”, dijo DaveHollis, jefe de distribuciónde Disney. “Lo emocionanteaquí es que hay unaoportunidad para ver estashistorias queridas de unamanera nunca antes vista,pero uno construye esosobre la base de algo que esmuy conocido”.

“Pero uno no recauda170 millones por la nostal-gia”, agregó. “Al final tienesque hacer estas películasbuenísimas”.

Esta versión de “La bellay la bestia”, dirigida porBill Condon y estelarizadapor Emma Watson y DanStevens, fue aclamada ycriticada ampliamente porincluir lo que ha sidoconsiderado el primerpersonaje abiertamente gayde Disney. Josh Gadinterpreta al compinche deGaston, LeFou, quien tieneun breve “encuentroexclusivamente gay”, comolo describió Condon, al fi-nal de la cinta.

Aunque muchas personaselogiaron el leve giro delpersonaje como un progresoque ya era hora de hacer,otros lo ridiculizaron. Unautocinema en Alabamacanceló el estreno. Despuésde que censores malasiospidieron que se editara laescena, Disney retiró el filmedel país predominantementemusulmán antes del estreno.Se prevé que esta semana seescuchen los argumentos deuna apelación.

Latinos seeking employ-ment could be in line for hun-dreds of good-paying jobs atauto parts supplier plants cur-rently under construction atthe Overland Industrial Park,site of Toledo’s original Jeepplant. A third in a series oforientation sessions was heldat Waite High School.

Toledo Public Schoolsand Lucas County Commis-sioners are teaming up toencourage Toledo highschool students who live nearthe Overland Industrial Parkto complete a WorkReadyManufacturing certificate sothey can be ready to fill thosegood-paying jobs aftergraduation.

More than 1,000 job seek-ers attended two previousseminars held at WoodwardHigh School and Scott HighSchool. Recent graduatesand adults also are eligible tocomplete the certificate pro-gram, which covers a broadrange of topics— job require-ments in manufacturing, em-ployment survival skillstraining, and other servicesto help job seekers get readyto apply.

Dana Inc. will beginmanufacturing axles for theToledo Jeep Assembly com-plex later this year, its firstautomotive parts plant in

Northwest Ohio in some time.Dana projects it will have 300workers at the plant by 2020,and could eventually employup to 600 people.

Detroit ManufacturingSystems, another automotiveparts supplier, is building asecond factory at the site andhas committed to creating atleast 140 jobs and possiblyhire as many as 300 workers.The plant will make interiorparts for the remodeled JeepWrangler, with its plant set toopen in the late fall.

Recent media reports indi-cate the Toledo-Lucas Countyport authority is negotiatingwith a third company to locateat the Overland Industrial Park,although the company is notan auto supplier.

But all three companieswill rely on state-of-the-artmanufacturing, which meansrobotics, programmablelogic controls, and otherforms of automation to workfaster and more efficiently.So the skill sets of the peoplehired need to be sufficientenough to ensure everythingruns effectively. Dana andDMS are seeking motivatedworkers who can handle thehigh-tech, advanced-manu-facturing world who possessflexibility, an ability to thinkquickly, and are always

willing to learn new skills.People who register for

the program receive a check-list they can follow to pre-pare themselves to eventu-ally take the WorkReady as-sessment. Lucas County of-ficials emphasize that com-pleting the WorkReadyManufacturing process is nota guarantee of a job, but it isa guarantee that certified ap-plicants will have a leg-upon those not willing to go theextra mile.

The WorkReady Manu-facturing certificate pro-vides an opportunity for in-dividuals to earn credentialwhich illustrates that a per-son has met the necessaryskill requirements to be suc-cessful and provides employ-ers with a method for easilyidentifying the best candi-dates for their job openings. By recognizing the certifi-cate or recommending thatapplicants obtain it prior toapplying, employers arehelping encourage workersto prove they have essentialwork skills.

There are upcoming work-shops on Wednesday, March29, 6 p.m., and Friday, March31, 2017, 9 a.m. Both work-shops will held at Ohio MeansJobs-Lucas County, 1301Monroe St., Toledo.

COLUMBUS, Ohio,March 23, 2017 (AP): Thestate has agreed to pay about$1.45 million each to twomen declared wrongfullyimprisoned for more than 16years in a woman’s slaying,the Court of Claims an-nounced Thursday.

The court said in a state-ment that it approved a settle-ment between the state andRobert Gondor and RandyResh this month. The menwere 24 years old when a manwho pleaded guilty in the1988 murder of Connie Nardiin Portage County implicatedthem as accomplices.

A Common Pleas Courtjury found Gondor guilty in1990 of involuntary man-slaughter, kidnapping andobstructing justice, and Reshwas convicted of murder andattempted rape.

Gondor and Resh contin-

ued to argue their innocenceand appealed their convic-tions. Resh was acquitted in aretrial, and the charges againstGondor were dropped. Theywere freed in 2007.

A Portage County judge’s2014 ruling in a lawsuitbrought by the two men foundthey qualified as wrongfullyimprisoned, and that rulingwas affirmed by an appealscourt.

Gondor and Resh filed forcompensation with the Courtof Claims and received partialpayments in 2015 of morethan $420,000 each for lostearnings. The men, who arenow in their early 1950s, ar-gued in court filings that theydeserved additional compen-sation for being deprived ofbuilding families and careersand suffering emotional dis-tress.

An attorney for both said

Thursday that the settlementwas “a long time coming.”

Attorney Mark Mareinsaid the two men are doingremarkably well, consideringthat they spent years in prisonfor a “murder they did notcommit.”

“But that’s in the past, andthey are moving forward,”Marein said.

A spokeswoman for thestate attorney general’s of-fice declined to comment onthe settlement.

Nardi’s body was foundon Aug. 15, 1988. TheRandolph Township woman,who was 31 years old, wasstrangled, and her body wasthrown into a Geauga Countypond.

The man who implicatedResh and Gordon as accom-plices pleaded guilty to ag-gravated murder and has re-mained in prison since 1989.

March 27, 2017: The Uni-versity of Toledo MedicalCenter is accepting new pa-tients to its new Adult Detoxi-fication Inpatient Unit on thesixth floor of the hospital.

The 10-bed unit has a dedi-cated team of nurses, socialworkers and other staff withtraining and experience indetox and behavioral health.The detox unit will help pa-tients safely manage thephysical symptoms of with-drawal associated withstopping drug or alcoholabuse and then connect themwith services to enhance theirpossibility for success in over-coming addiction. “

There is a drug abuse andoverdose epidemic in our stateand UTMC is respondingwith this dedicated unit aspart of our increased focus on

behavioral health. We want tohelp people in our commu-nity who suffer from addic-tion,” said Dr. Tanvir Singh,UTMC physiatrist who servesas the unit’s medical director.

“Addiction is a brain dis-ease just like any other chronicillness, but these patients alsostruggle with social stigma andmarginalization, which itmakes it challenging. We needto both treat the disease andconnect patients with the re-sources they need to overcomethose challenges for success-ful recovery.”

Patients will be admittedto the detox unit through re-ferrals from other units withinUTMC and through health-care providers in the commu-nity, as well as patients andtheir family members whocontact the hospital directly

for detox assistance. Patients must be in active

withdrawal from alcohol,opioids or other substanceswhen they are admitted tothe UTMC detox unit andcommit to immediately en-tering an intensive outpa-tient treatment program fol-lowing their stay in the hos-pital, which would averagethree to five days.

UTMC also plans to in-clude individual talktherapy, group therapy, so-cial work visits, physicalexercise, mental exercises,nutrition and self-careclasses with community part-ners as part of its services inthe detox unit to address thepatients’ medical and psy-chological needs.
