En julio 2002 fuécanonizado en una ceremoniapresidida por Juan

Quién era este Juan Diego?La mayoría de los
estudiosos concuerdan queJuan Diego nació en 1474 enel calpulli
de Tlayacac enCuauhtitlán, et que fuéestablecido en 1168 por
latribu nahua y posteriormenteconquistado por el jefeAzteca
Axayacatl en 1467; yestaba localizado 20kilómetros al norte
deTenochnitlán (ciudad deMéxico, D.F.).
Su nombre de nacimientofue Cuauhtlatoatzin, quepodría set
traducido como«el que habla como águila»o «águila que habla».
El Nican Mopohua lo de-scribe como un«macehualli», o
«pobreindio», es decir uno que nopertenecía a ninguna de

Letter to the EditorLatinos meet with DemocraticParty
Leadership
Strong candidates, support from the Latino community,and the
backing of the Lucas County Democratic Party havemade Toledo’s
political complexion more inclusive thanever before. We can proudly
list a growing number of electedofficials—from Juvenile Court Judge
Joseph Flores, Coun-cilman Louis Escobar, and Washington School
Board mem-ber Lisa Canales-Flores to recently elected Toledo
SchoolBoard member Anita López.
For approximately two hours on the night of December11th,
involvement, recruitment and identification of candi-dates for
elected offices were the topics of conversationamong sixteen
members of the Latino community at theLucas County Democratic
Headquarters.
Attendees were: Connie Eason, Louis Escobar, CynthiaGeronimo, M.
Pacheco, Mary Ward, Lucy Weaver, LourdesSantiago, Denise
Alvarado-Haack, Olga Vallejo, PhillipVallejo, Lisa Canales-Flores,
Anita López, Jesus Salas, ArturoQuintero, Alvina Costilla, and Joe
Balderas. Judge JosephFlores was attending a legal conference and
sent his regretsand support.
Chaired by Councilman Escobar and Connie TreviñoEason [a
community activist and co-founder of the Demo-cratic Latina
Caucus], Paula Ross, Executive Director of theLucas County
Democratic Party, offered insight to the work-ings of the “Party
Machine.”
Ms. Ross encouraged the Latino community to get in-volved at all
levels of the organization. Ms. Ross also praisedmany who have
worked with the Party in the past andemphasized that there is a
role for everyone: working oncampaigns and the cadre of
opportunities and challenges thisoffers, taking leadership roles as
precinct chairs, running forelected office, and much more.
Councilman Escobar encouraged younger people to getinvolved and
stressed the importance of Latino visibility at alllevels of the
Democratic Party. He stated, “We need to be seenand make our
presence know not only when a Latino candidateis running for
office, but also when non-Latinos, that share ourconcerns and
interests, are candidates for office.”
Connie Eason, Anita López, and Lisa Canales-Floresshared
historical information and offered first-hand knowl-edge of the
importance of an organized group that continu-ously functions and
participates in the inter-workings of theDemocratic Party.
Mayor Jack Ford addressed the group and offered hissupport and
congratulated the Latino community on ourmany political successes.
“Money is at the core of anypolitical campaign,” said Mayor Ford.
He recommended aprocess for the group to follow in raising and
distributingfunds to candidates that champion our interests and
concerns.
Questions posed to and by the group regarding the Demo-cratic
Party were: Who are we grooming as future Latinoleaders? How can we
reach out to other Latinos? What willit take to get more Latino
youth involved? Discussions willcontinue and an immediate goal of
the group is to recruit moreLatinos.
All are invited to the next Latino Democratic groupmeeting
scheduled on Saturday, January 11, 2003, at 10:00a.m., at the Lucas
County Democratic Party Headquarters,1817 Madison Avenue. Make your
voice heard. Questions?Contact the Lucas County Democratic Party
Headquarters at419. 246.9301.

WASHINGTON (AP):Many more Latino immi-grants are completing
highschool and earning collegedegrees, but the educationgap with
native-born Ameri-
cans remains wide, a Latinoresearch group reportedWednesday.
Education levels also varyby the country from which aLatino
immigrant came, ac-cording to the report by thePew Latino Center.
Those
from México and CentralAmerican countries like ElSalvador and
Honduras wereless likely to finish highschool than new arrivals
fromSouth America and the Carib-bean.
The gap with U.S.-born
residents persists in part be-cause many Latino familiescannot
afford rising collegecosts, experts said. In otherfamilies, kids
may not attendschool regularly to work,while undocumented stu-dents
find it hard to get finan-cial aid.
Meanwhile, disparitiesmay exist between sub-groups simply
because of howfar one has to travel to theUnited States, said one
of thereport’s authors, B. LindsayLowell. For instance,
undocu-mented immigrants fromMexico tend to be less edu-
Study finds more Latino immigrants graduatingfrom high school

Two years ago, Méxicoand the United States were onthe verge of a
new era in thebilateral relationship.
Presidents Bush and Foxhad assumed office with apowerful new
vision of howour two countries could worktogether, not just in
trade andinvestment, but across a widespectrum of issues. Both
lead-ers not only envisioned a newera of productive bilateral
co-operation, but actively set towork to make it happen.
Unfortunately, the brutalattacks of September 11caused this
vision to be pushedaside as the United States fo-cused its energy
on mobiliz-ing against terrorism. Now, asthat conflict appears set
to entera new chapter, it is time torenew our bilateral efforts.
In-deed, it is exactly the continu-ing threat of terrorism that
de-mands that the United Statesand México define new waysto work
together for our com-mon security.
Security starts at home.And nothing is closer to homethan the
2,000 mile U.S.-Mexican border, which oughtto be a source of
security andprosperity, instead of a sourceof bilateral irritation
and po-tential risk.
More than one millionpeople cross the border everyday—for
tourism, commerce,and work. Most of these cross-ings are legal, but
too manyare not. Hard working Mexi-cans come north to meet the
demands of U.S. companiesthat cannot otherwise findenough
workers.
The result is a Mexicandiaspora with workers thatlive, work,
raise families, paytaxes, and contribute to theircommunities in
this country,but do so largely under theradar screen of U.S.
immigra-tion authorities.
It is profoundly inMéxico’s interest, as much asthat of the
United States, thatthis situation be legalized.
A decade ago, our twocountries entered into a tradeand
investment agreement—the North American FreeTrade Agreement, which
wasdesigned to promote bothcountries’ increasing pros-perity. By
any economic mea-sure—bilateral trade, jobscreated, economic value
pro-duced—NAFTA has been anoutstanding success.
However, as our two Presi-dents recognized early lastyear, the
bilateral agenda willremain incomplete until weaddress the “people
issues”with as much imaginationand political will as we havedevoted
to the trade issues.
There are many reasonswhy we need to move ahead ona robust,
bilateral agenda thatincludes: smart border arrange-ments, a new
framework tomanage the flow of peoplebetween the United States
andMéxico, bilateral infrastructureproducts, drug trafficking,
andother key political and eco-
The dialogue about immigration stillsCommentary by Antonio Meza
Estrada* nomic issues. However, in the
current global context none ismore immediately compellingthan
security.
We live in a perilous worldand are confronted by a com-mon
terrorist threat. Whenscores of Mexicans died in theSeptember 11
attacks, along-side thousands of other inno-cent people, the
terrorists ef-fectively declared that theyrecognize no
nationalities.
Our governments haveworked together on hunting thehidden sources
of terrorist fi-nancing, on strengthening bor-der security, and on
disarmingIraq by harnessing the authorityof the international
communitythrough a consensus resolutionin the UN Security
Council.
These are important initia-tives, but we need more. Now,both
countries need an evensafer, more secure, and efficientborder. Both
countries need toassure that the rights of theircitizens are
protected whenthey travel, live, and workabroad. And both
countriesneed to demonstrate that theyremain committed to
advanc-ing security and prosperity inthe Americas through
creative,bilateral arrangements.
The question is how to pro-ceed. Closing the border is nota
viable, or practical, solutionbecause of our ever increasingand
increasingly productiveinterdependence. However,regularizing the
status ofMexican workers within a newmigration framework wouldallow
U.S. authorities to know
exactly who is in the UnitedStates, leaving less room
forterrorists to hide. It would pro-tect the rights of Mexicans
inthis country, and it wouldeliminate the corrosive ef-fects of an
undergroundeconomy that is essentiallydriven by the ebb and flow
oflabor markets on both sides ofthe border.
This approach is not onlycompatible with a securitydriven
agenda, it is essentialto it. Indeed, such an agree-ment would be
in the spirit ofHomeland Security AdvisorTom Ridge’s call for new
bor-der arrangements that can si-multaneously defend
againstterrorism and narco-traffick-ing, while promoting
healthy,mutually beneficial cross-border economic activity.
This would be an aggres-sive agenda at any time. Bor-der and
migration issues arealways intensely political.But, with the U.S.
mid termelections over, we have a newwindow of opportunity to
re-new the efforts begun by Presi-dents Bush and Fox long be-fore
September 11. The U.S.-México Binational Commis-sion, which meets
on an an-nual basis and which bringstogether eight
Cabinet-levelofficials from both coun-tries—headed by Secretary
oState Powell and Foreign Sec-retary Castañeda—can allowus to renew
those efforts.
We must not miss thischance.

Profile of the Month
WASHINGTON (AP): Le-gal and illegal immigrationsurged ahead
during the first27 months of the new century,a private analysis of
govern-ment data shows. Immigrationexperts, though, differ over
theeffect the slowing economyand fallout from the terroristattacks
has had on immigra-tion the last two years.
More than 3.3 million im-migrants entered the countrybetween
January 2000 andMarch 2002, and the nation’sforeign-born
populationswelled to a record 33.1 mil-lion, says a report by the
Cen-ter for Immigration Studies, aresearch group that
supportslimits on immigration.
Maine is among the stateswith the lowest immigrationfigures.
Maine has about35,000 immigrants, 3,000 ofwhom entered between
2000and 2002.
The report’s author, StevenCamarota, said the analysis ofCensus
Bureau data showedno slowdown from the rapidpace of the 1990s. And,
hesaid, it’s unlikely the economyor the attacks will
changethings.
“Legal and illegal immi-gration are largely discon-nected from
economic condi-tions in the United States be-cause life remains far
betterhere than in most of the immi-
grant-sending countries,”Camarota said.
But Claudia Smith, an im-migrant advocate with theCalifornia
Rural Legal Assis-tance Foundation in San Di-ego, said she believes
theeconomy may have slowedmigration.
“As long as people have towork, they keep coming,”Smith said.
“If there is no work,it gets back to México in realtime and people
adjust theirplans accordingly.”
Smith and other immigrantadvocates say tougher lawsthat started
being imposed inthe 1990s have forced illegalimmigrants to take
greater risksto enter the country, such ascrossing a desert or
beingsmuggled in a boxcar.
The U.S. Border Patrol saysapprehensions of illegal im-migrants
have dropped to theirlowest level in more than adecade, while
rescues are up.
Roberto Suro, director ofthe Pew Hispanic Center, cau-tioned
against using the dataas a barometer of any post-Sept. 11
immigration trendssince the study stopped atMarch 2002, just six
monthsafter the terrorist attacks
However, he said majorevents normally have only ashort-term
effect on immigra-tion. Afterward, “the underly-ing trend reasserts
itself—trends tied to economic fac-tors and family
reunification.”
Camarota estimates thereare 8 million to 9 million ille-
gal immigrants in the country,with roughly 1 million to
1.5million entering during thefirst 27 months of this decade.
Of the immigrants who ar-rived since the beginning of2000, about
1 million werefrom México.
Some evidence points tosmall declines in the number ofstudent
and employment visasgranted to immigrants fromMiddle Eastern
countries sinceSept. 11, in large part due tocrackdowns after the
attacks,said Jim Zogby, president ofthe Arab-American
Institute.
Other potential immigrantsmay be hesitant to come to theUnited
States amid reports ofincreasing discriminationagainst
Arab-Americans,Zogby said. The FBI saidMonday that Muslims
andpeople who are or appear to beof Middle Eastern descent
werereported as victims of hatecrimes more often last yearthan ever
before.
About 88,000 people fromMiddle Eastern countries ar-rived during
the period cov-ered by Camarota’s study.
The mission statement forCamarota’s group calls for“fewer
immigrants but awarmer welcome for thoseadmitted.” According
toCamarota, that could be ac-complished by better polic-ing the
nation’s borders andpunishing employers whohire illegals, along
with main-taining stricter guidelines overwho gets visas.

Mexico City in Jan. 1967when he was 27. Now 62 - hisbirthday
falls on ChristmasDay—he recalls that “therewere people I knew in
Mil-waukee who helped me comeover here.
“I came to the UnitedStates by myself. I found alady in
Milwaukee and I gotmarried to her,” said Sánchez.
In 1969, Sánchez movedto Toledo and in 1972 hebegan his 30-year
affiliationwith Harold Jaffe Jewelers. “Ido everything there,” he
ex-plains. “I am a jeweler. I setstones. I make rings. I dorepairs.
I am what they call acraftsman.”
But there’s even more toSánchez’s accomplish-ments. “I initiated
the Span-ish soccer league here in To-ledo,” he says. He
beganplaying in 1970 with a Ger-man team. That’s because“Back then,
there were veryfew Latin people playing onother teams.
“We used to play at theSchneider Soccer Field, atBay View Park
and at PearsonPark,” recalls Sánchez. “Be-
fore Schneider gave the park tothe city, the Toledo
DistrictSoccer Club used to only havethree fields to play on.”
Sánchez retired from activeplay three years ago. He hadbeen
playing with theOldtimers, a Latin team fromthe Latin club.
“I am still a member of theboard of the Latin SoccerLeague,”
said Sánchez, whobegan playing soccer inMéxico City when he was
13.
“I love sports and people.I’ve served with a lot of
people.Playing and joking with theyounger guys was always fun.They
made me feel young,” headded.
Sánchez and Dora, the ladyhe met in Milwaukee and mar-ried, have
seven children, 12grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
Their children are Ricardo,who is 42 and recently retiredafter
21 years in the UnitedStates Air Force. He lives inArizona.
Diane, 40, also lives in Ari-zona.
Robert, who is 39, lives inToledo.
Inez, 37, lives in La Feria,
Texas, which is nearHarlingen.
Pedro, who is 35, lives inToledo, as do twins Sharonand Shirley,
who are 31.
Sánchez first met FatherNotter when he startedstudying for the
ministry.
“He was one of my teach-ers,” said Sánchez, whospent three years
in his stud-ies for his calling. In addi-tion, he took two years
ofcontinuing education be-fore he was ordained. Hestudied theology
at theFranciscan
College in Sylvania.Were there many Latinos
among his peers? “Therewere 11 Spanish deacons,”he recalls.
Dora Sánchez partici-pated in his studies for threeyears. “It is
part of the agree-ment between a wife and ahusband,” he
explained.
Sánchez serves as Direc-tor of the Liturgy at SS. Peterand Paul.
“I am a personwho enjoys being withpeople. A lot of peopleknow me.
I enjoy talking topeople and helping people.I am here to serve,”
saysSánchez.
He also works with theministry that visits prison-ers. “For
eleven years, Ivisited Milan, and I visitToledo. It is important to
methat those who are
confined have somecomfort. I know it makes adifference—a lot of
differ-ence,” says Sánchez.
He adds that as a youth inMexico, he once found him-self in “a
bad
Environment” and un-derstands the plight of thosebehind
bars.
“I was ordained to serve,”said Sánchez.
And it is the parishionersof SS. Peter and Paul, as wellas all
those who have comeinto contact with Sánchezthrough his many
activities,who have been blessed byhis presence.

cated and don’t have to travelfar to get to the United
States.
However, those fromSouth America typicallyhave to pay more money
totravel to the country, so theywould be more likely to bemore
educated, or at leastcome from families where thecost of travel—and
an edu-cation—is not as much of ahindrance.
The center’s analysis ofCensus Bureau data between1970 and 2000
found theshare of Latino immigrantsover 25 who graduated fromhigh
school increased from28 percent to 59 percent, whilefor U.S.-born
residents it grewfrom 53 percent to 87 percent.
Those immigrants who at-tended at least two years ofcollege or a
two-year degreedoubled from 9 percent to 18percent, while for
U.S.-borncitizens it increased from 17percent to 35 percent,
Even with the disparities,“the education profile of theadult
Latino immigrant popu-lation has improved signifi-cantly over the
past 30 years,”said the Pew center’s director,Roberto Suro.
“In the coming decades,the educational compositionof the Latino
foreign-bornpopulation will begin to lookmore like that of the
Ameri-can native-born population,”wrote Suro and co-author B.
Latino immigrants graduating from high school(Continued from

Lindsay Lowell.Jim Ferg-Cadima, a legis-
lative analyst with the Mexi-can American Legal Defenseand
Educational Fund, saidthe report was overly opti-mistic. He said it
did not ac-count for factors that may limitLatino advances,
includingcollege costs or private finan-cial aid sources, which
tendto give more merit to appli-cants who are citizens.
Plus, forecasts are difficultto make because “thiscountry’s
treatment of immi-grants is always in flux,” hesaid.
Data from the 2000 censusshowed the Latino popula-tion more than
doubled dur-ing the 1990s to 35.3 million,rivaling blacks as the
nation’slargest minority group. ManyLatinos from Mexico and, toa
lesser extent, CentralAmerica, arrived in the pastdecade to take
plentiful, low-skilled, low-paying jobs infactories, meatpacking
plantsand on farms.
The influx has strainedmany urban and rural schoolsstruggling to
teach new im-migrants with little or no graspof English. Some
critics havecalled for more limits on im-migration to ease the
burdenon schools and to reduce thenumber of Latino dropouts inthe
work force.
Government estimates
place the illegal immigrantpopulation between 8 mil-lion and 9
million, with nearlyhalf from Mexico. About two-thirds of all
undocumentedimmigrants have not finishedhigh school, the report
said.
Suro said he was optimis-tic disparities would narrowas younger
foreign-born resi-dents who tend to have moreeducation displace in
thepopulation older residentswho are less educated. In ad-dition,
more immigrant fami-lies are getting their educa-tion in the United
States,where schools tend to be bet-ter than in Latin
Americancountries.
“For the immediate andforeseeable future, substan-tial benefits

Krista Kafer, an educationpolicy analyst with the con-servative
Heritage Founda-tion, said more improvementcould be made by using
En-glish immersion techniquesrather than bilingual educa-tion in
teaching students withlittle or no grasp of the lan-guage.
“It doesn’t seem as insur-mountable task in closing
thatachievement gap,” she said.

Three years ago, Fatimaapplied, with the help of aninterpreter
from BVR, for aposition with the CatholicDiocese of Toledo. The
dio-cese hired her even thoughher English skills were
stillextremely limited.
That has changed in the lastfew years. Fatima now is
fluentenough in English to have be-come her department’s
primaryword processor and is capableof handling anything requiredin
the computer area. Her En-glish is more than sufficient
fortelephone duties as well.
The rest of the family hasalso thrived, and expanded,since their
arrival in the UnitedStates.
Julio works at BasiliusTool and is also attendingOwens Community
College.He will be transferring to theUniversity of Toledo after
thissemester.
Julio, Jr., now 18, is a se-nior at St. Johns High School.He
will be in college nextyear and is considering NotreDame, Xavier
[Dayton], andthe University of Michigan.
Maria, 14 is an eighth-grader at Arbor Hills and Jo-seph, 10,
attends WhitefordElementary.
Julio speaks with awe ofwhat Fatima has accomplished.
“It took a lot of sacrifice,dedication and effort,” hesays of
his wife’s sojourn.
Those are, evidently,words that describe the wholefamily.

Lila Horton Templin,widow of social activist RalphT. Templin,
died December 5in Bluffton, Ohio at the age of104. She is the
grandmother-in-law of BaldemarVelasquez, founder and presi-dent of
the Farm Labor Orga-nizing Committee (FLOC).
Lila and Ralph Templinhad worked as missionariesand educators in
India for 15years. Ralph Templin’s ac-tivities brought him into
con-tact with Mahatma K. Gandhi,who taught Templin the doc-trine of
non-violence. Yearslater, it was Templin who ex-posed Velasquez to
theGandhian concepts. Ralphdied in 1984.
“I learned non-violence athis feet,” said Velasquez ofTemplin.
“This was back inthe mid-sixties—I graduatedfrom high school in
1965—and he turned my life around.He gave me a new outlook onlife
and taught me how to dealwith the things that made meangry, such as
the exploita-tion and oppression offarmworkers. He opened upan
avenue for me to vent myanger…and the practice ofnon-violence has
led me to amore significant, spiritualawakening.”
Velasquez recalled, “But if
Ralph was the teacher, Lilawas the practitioner. Shetaught me
how to have graceunder fire at times when peoplewould rather be
striking andlashing out at others.”
Lila Horton Templin wasborn in Malone, Iowa. Whenshe was nine,
her familymoved to a farm near Arkan-sas City, Kansas, a
half-milefrom the Oklahoma border.This was the era where onlytwo
decades earlier, land-hungry pioneers began theirrush into the
Cherokee Strip.
Following their service inIndia, Lila and Ralph re-turned to the
United States.She taught homemakingskills at the School of
Livingnear Suffern, New York untilin 1946, Arthur E. Morgan,the
former president ofAntioch College, summonedTemplin to Yellow
Springs,Ohio to work part-time forCommunity Service.
Lila is survived by her sonLawrence and his wife Orlettaof
Bluffton as well as threegrandchildren: SaraVelasquez, John of
Bluffton,and Mary Templin of Toledo.
Four great-grandchildren,two great-great-grandchil-dren, and the
legacy of herlife devoted to the further-ance of non-violence.
Lila Horton Templindied December 5, 2002LA HABANA (AP) _ El
boxeador argentino MatiasFerreira, de la categoría delos 60
kilos, fue el únicoextranjero que ganó su peleaen la primera
cartelera de lallamada Olimpiada deldeporte Cubano.
Ferreira venció alestadounidense VerguanKimbrough,
“Aproveché laexperiencia que tenía frenteal norteamericano al
que yavencí en el último mundialde Belfast, en el 2001.
Subíagresivo al ring y no le dejétomar la iniciativa”, dijoFerreira
a la AP.
“Para mí lo más difícilserá mi combate frente alcubano Mario
Kindelán,número uno del orbe de lacategoría. Voy a luchar
congarra”, agregó el argentino,quien triunfó por 17-5.
El perdedor, Kimbrough,
afirmó sentirse doblementefrustrado: “Cometí el error dequedarme
demasiado pasivoy mi rival se aprovechó. Ademásestoy frustrado
porque hubieraquerido pelear con un cubano,a eso vine a la isla
donde estáel mejor boxeo amateur delmundo”, dijo.
En la misma velada, en otrapelea de los 60 kilos, Kindelán,en
representación de Orientales,se impusó al Occidental
RaidelHernández, 19-6.
En la categoría 63.5 kilos,por Orientales, Diógenes Lunavenció
10-1 al argentino LucasMathysse. En los 67 kilos,Amilcar Funes,
tambiénargentino, fue derrotado por elOriental Yudel Jonhson,
17-1.
Pero el representante de esepaís más castigado fue
CarlosRodríguez, de los 81 kilos,contado en dos ocasiones frentea
Johanson Martínez, perdiópor decisión del árbitro.
La esperada pelea de lossuperpesados decepcionó a laafición. El
cubano LeonardoEnrich, representante deCentrales, le ganó
alestadounidense Jason Estradapor 9-6, en una pelea mediocre.
El entrenadorestadounidense José Rosariose mostró desconforme
con ladecisión de los jueces.
“El cubano tiraba en‘break’, no obedecía, el árbitrole hubiera
debido sancionar.Vinimos aquí a competir y apelear fuerte, si
perdemos en elring, está bien, pero no porfavoritismo,
notificamosnuestra inconformidad”,agregó Rosario.
Este viernes se presentarála segunda cartelera de boxeode los
Juegos Cubanos, unaalternativa a losCentroamericanos y del Car-ibe
de El Salvador, a los cualesCuba no asisitió alegando faltade
seguridad para su

que le quedaba mascerca de la iglesia enTlatilolco - Tenochtitlán,
solo14 kilómetros.
El caminaba cada sábadoy domingo a la iglesia,partiendo a la
mañana muytemprano, antes queamaneciera, para llegar atiempo a la
Santa Misa y a lasclases de instrucciónreligiosa. Caminabadescalzo,
como la gente de suclase macehualli, ya que sololos miembros de las
clasessuperiores de los aztecasusaban cactlis, o
sandalias,confeccionadas con fibrasvegetales o de pieles. En
esasfrías madrugadas usaba paraprotegerse del frío una manta,tilma
o ayate, tejida con fibrasdel maguey, el cactus típicode la región.

Durante una de suscaminatas camino aTenochtitlán, caminatas
quesolían tomar unas tres horas ymedias a través de montañasy
poblados, ocurre la primeraaparición de Nuestra Señora,en el lugar
ahora conocido
como «Capilla del Cerrito»,donde la Santísima Virgen lehabló en
su idioma, el náhuatl.Ella se refirió a él congrandísimo
cariño,llamándolo «Juanito, JuanDieguito», «el mas pequeñode mis
hijos», «hijito mío».
Juan Diego tenía 57 añosen el momento de lasapariciones,
ciertamente unaedad avanzada en un lugar yépoca donde la
expectativade vida masculina apenassobrepasaba los 40 años.
Luego del milagro deGuadalupe Juan Diego fue avivir a un pequeño
cuartopegado a la capilla quealojaba la santa imagen, luegode dejar
todas suspertenencias a su tío JuanBernardino, pasando el restode
su vida completamentededicado a la difusión delrelato de las
apariciones en-tre la gente de su pueblo.
Juan Diego muere el 30 demayo de 1548, a la edad de 74años.
Juan Diego amaba desobremanera la SagradaEucaristía, y por
permiso es-pecial del Obispo recibía laComunión tres veces
porsemana, algo completamenteinusual en aquellos tiempos.
Su Santidad Juan Pablo IIalabó en Juan Diego su simplefé
enriquecida por lacatequesis y lo definió (aaquél que le dijo a
laSantísima Virgen: «soy soloun hombrecillo, soy uncordel, soy una
escalerilla detablas, soy cola, soy hoja, soygente menuda..») como
unmodelo de humildad paratodos nosotros.

Lisa Canales-Flores, as-sistant to the mayor of To-ledo and
Washington Localschool board member, wasnot on any ballot in the
re-cent November elections.
However, in the wake ofthose elections, local politi-cians and
voters have dis-covered that there are nowmore questions than
there
were before the ballots werecounted.
Canales-Flores may soonbe in a position to throw herhat in the
ring for an openDistrict 6 seat—a seat shehas long coveted.
The elective-officedomino effect was startedby Maggie Thurber’s
vic-tory over long-time countycommissioner, SandyIsenberg, and by
Peter
Ujvagi’s victory in the OhioHouse of Representative’s race.
Then, came the announce-ment of Bill Copeland’s im-pending
retirement from hiscounty commissioner posi-tion.
At the front of the line forCopeland’s job is WadeKapszukiewicz,
District 6 citycouncilman. Should he be ap-pointed to that spot,
Canales-Flores will have a decision tomake about contacting
theDemocratic Party and askingto be considered for the posi-tion.
She has already startedthinking about it.
“I have always wanted todo it,” she told La Prensa lastweek.
“Absolutely, alwayswanted to do it. I have alwaysmade that
clear.”
What Canales-Flores hadnot counted on was the possi-bility of
having to make a de-cision about the seat so soon.
“I didn’t expect it to openso quickly,” she said. “But,
I’mdefinitely thinking about theopportunity.”
Canales-Flores has been anassistant to Mayor Jack Fordsince last
April. Prior to thatappointment, she had beenwith the National
Alliance forthe Mentally Ill (NAMI) forthree years as that
agency’smedia coordinator. Canales-Flores has been on the

The trip from Granada,Nicaragua to Miami, Floridatakes only a
few hours byairplane. If you are a Nicara-guan citizen without a
visa, itcan take weeks.
In fact, it took FatimaMartínez 30 days just to reachthe Texas
border back in1989, accompanied as she wasby four-year-old, Julio,
Jr. andfour-month-old, Maria.
Fatima, and her husband,Julio, now Toledo residents,are both
from Nicaragua.From 1979 until 1989, Nica-ragua was the scene of a
de-structive civil war and theMartínez family decided toleave their
homeland for abetter life in the United States.At that time, Julio
was attend-ing college and working fulltime and Fatima was an
assis-tant sales manager with amajor soap manufacturer.
Julio arrived in Miami firstto find housing and a job.Fatima and
the two youngchildren set out on February28, 1989 to join Julio.
OnMarch 28, they reachedMatamoros, México on theU.S. border.
Fatima found a “coyote”to guide the family into Texasand, upon
arrival, located asafe house where they stayedfor several days
until Julioarrived from Miami and leadthem on another two weektrek
to reach their new home.
In Miami, Fatima cleaned
houses and Julio worked inrestaurants and on construc-tion sites
to support the fam-ily. With their limited com-mand of English,
Miamisuited the family’s immedi-ate needs. They applied for,and
received, political asy-lum in Miami.
“We liked Miami,” saysFatima. “It was easy becauseeveryone spoke
Spanish.”But Miami was not perfect.
“The schools were not sogood and the crime rate is high,”says
Fatima. She and Julio heardabout Toledo from friends anddecided to
make the move in1997, in spite of the languagedifficulties they
would face andthe change in climate.
An additional burden wasthe lingering effects ofFatima’s 1994
automobile ac-cident. She was diagnosedwith myofacial pain
syndromeand was unable to lift over 15pounds or engage in
repeti-tive overhead reaching. Herinjuries reduced her
handgripstrength and left her withchronic pain in her right armand
shoulder and in her back.
Once in Toledo, Fatima’sgoal was to become an admin-istrative
assistant or bilingualsecretary. Because she hadbeen a secretary in
Nicaragua,shortly after high schoolgraduation, Fatima had cer-tain
office skills. Fatima wasreferred to the Ohio Bureau ofVocational
Rehabilitation(BVR) and counselor GracielaKeiser-Morris in
1999.
“[Fatima] had previouslyheld jobs involving physicalexertion
such as assembly,production, and house andoffice cleaning,” says
Keiser.“She had transferable skillsincluding excellent work
be-haviors. She already had sec-retarial skills from her owncountry
but she needed toupgrade those skills.”
The BVR provided medi-cal and clerical assessments,business
training includingcomputer skills and officetechniques, placement,
ergo-nomic equipment, physicalreconditioning and
bilingualdictionaries.
“Mrs. Martínez was easyto work with,” said Keiser-Morris. “She
was a dream con-sumer. Fatima was responsible,highly motivated and
deter-mined to succeed.”
Fatima prepared herselfduring her job search by work-ing as a
volunteer at the To-ledo Botanical Garden andperforming data entry
on week-ends through a local temp
