NUEVA YORK, 30 IX21 (AP): Gloria Estefanreveló que, cuando tenía 9años, fue abusadasexualmente por alguienen quien su madreconfiaba.
La superestrellacubana-estadounidensehabló por primera vezpúblicamente sobre elabuso y los efectos queéste tuvo sobre ella en unepisodio del programa deFacebook Watch “RedTable Talk: The Estefans”transmitido el jueves bajoel título “Betrayed byTrusted Adults”(Traicionados por adultosde confianza).
“Él era familia, pero nofamilia cercana. Estaba enuna posición de poderporque mi madre me habíainscrito en su escuela demúsica y élinmediatamente comenzóa decirle lo talentosa queyo era y que necesitabaatención especial, y ella sesintió afortunada de que élestuviera enfocando esetipo de atención en mí”,dijo la cantante.
Estefan, quien nació enCuba y se mudó a Miamicon su familia cuando erapequeña, habló alcomienzo del programa,antes de presentar comoinvitada a la primera latinaque protagonizó el realityde ABC “TheBachelorette”, ClareCrawley, para que hablarasobre su propiaexperiencia de abuso demenores a manos de unsacerdote.
The Associated Press nosuele identificar a víctimasde abuso sexual a menosque éstas acepten sernombradas o relaten sushistorias públicamente.

El equipo esta-dounidense se convirtióen el tercer ganador deeste torneo que fuecreado en el 2018 y queenfrenta a los campeonesde la Liga MX y de laMLS. Antes lo ganóTigres (2018) y AtlantaUnited (2019).
La edición del añopasado no se disputódebido a la pandemia.
Para Cruz Azul laderrota se suma a laeliminación que sufrió enlas semifinales de la Ligade Campeones de laCONCACAF y a uninicio irregular en elApertura mexicano,donde se coloca octavoluego de 10 fechas.
El equipoestadounidense se pusoal frente en una jugadade tiro libre cobrado porel argentino LucasZelayarán, quien mandóun centro al área, dondeAngulo desvió la pelotacon la cabeza y la metióal ángulo izquierdo delportero José de JesúsCorona.
La Máquina dominóla posesión de la pelotaen el primer tiempo, perono generó peligro clarosobre la meta de susoponentes.
Cruz Azul tuvo sumejor oportunidad a los46, cuando Angulomandó un centro por laderecha hacia el área,
donde el uruguayoJonathan Rodríguez nosupo definir de frente alarco y mandó su tiro porencima de la portería.
Los celestes volvierona tocar a puerta a los 51,con un disparo delparaguayo Juan Escobarque se estrelló en el poste.
El Columbus Crew,que había llegado pocoen el complemento,consiguió su segundogol cuando el argentinoMilton Valenzuelamandó un centro por laizquierda hacia el áreachica, donde Mensaharribó para conectarpotente remate de cabezaque dejó sin oportunidada Corona.

cantante comenzódiciendo que “el 93% delos niños abusadosconocen y confían en susabusadores, y lo sé porqueyo fui una de ellas”.
“Ay tía, has esperadoeste momento tantotiempo”, le dijo su sobrina.
“Así es”, respondióEstefan.
Las tres se tomaron delas manos con los ojosllorosos.
No nombró a suabusador, pero describiócómo trató de detenerlo.Dijo que el abuso comenzópoquito a poco antes deavanzar rápidamente, yque sabía que estaba enuna situación peligrosacuando se enfrentó a esehombre.
“Le dije: ‘Esto no puedesuceder, no puedes haceresto’. Él dijo: ‘Tu padreestá en Vietnam, tu madreestá sola y la mataré si ledices”’, contó. “Sabía queera una locura, porque enningún momento penséque era por mi culpa queesto estaba pasando. Sabíaque el hombre estaba locoy por eso pensé querealmente podría lastimara mi madre”.
Estefan dijo queempezó a inventar excusaspara no ir a clases demúsica. Su hija Emily lepreguntó si su abuela notenía ningún indicio de quealgo estaba pasando. Lagente no hablaba de esascosas en ese entonces,respondió Estefan.
Trató de comunicarsecon su padre, con quieni n t e r c a m b i a b agrabaciones de vozmientras él estaba enVietnam.
Grabaciones en españolde cuando tenía 9 añosfueron reproducidas en elprograma con subtítulosen inglés:
Gloria: “Yo estoy
dando las clases deguitarra, me gustan, peroestán un poco duros losestudios”.
Su papá: “Mami me dijoque el dueño de laacademia donde tú estásdando las clases de guitarraestá muy orgulloso de ti”.
Gloria: “A mí me gustanlas notas, pero es un pocoaburrido de estudiar lasnotas”.
Su papá: “Mami medice que él dijo que eresuna artista de nacimiento”.
Estefan dijo que el nivelde ansiedad era tal queperdió un “círculo decabello”.
“No pude soportarlomás”, contó, así que unanoche corrió a lahabitación de su madre alas 3 de la madrugada y ledijo lo que estabasucediendo.
Su madre llamó a lapolicía, pero los agentes lerecomendaron que nopresentara cargos porqueel trauma de tener quesubir a un banquillo judi-cial sería peor para la niña.
Tanto Crawley comoEstefan dijeron durante elprograma que no les gustaque las llamen víctimas.Crawley se refirió a símisma como unasobreviviente.
Estefan dijo que no lesadvirtió a los productoresdel programa que revelaríasu historia en el episodiodel jueves. Nadie sabía alrespecto salvo su familia,según la cantante, quienestá casada con elproductor musical EmilioEstefan desde hace másde cuatro décadas.
También dijo que,cuando su madre comenzóa indagar sobre su agresordentro de la familia, unatía confesó que él tambiénabusó de ella años atrás,en Cuba.
The Associated Press
preguntó a la publicista delprograma si Estefan podríaresponder algunaspreguntas, incluyendo siel hombre aún estaba vivo.La publicista dijo que lacantante no haría másdeclaraciones.
En “Red Table Talk”,Estefan recordó que casihizo público el abuso amediados de los 80,cuando su éxito “Conga”con el grupo Miami SoundMachine estaba en la cimade las listas de popularidadde Billboard y “estedepredador, que era unmiembro respetado de lacomunidad”, tuvo laaudacia de escribir unacarta a un periódicocriticando su música.
“En ese momentoestaba tan enojada, queestaba a punto de destaparla olla”, dijo. “Luegopensé: ‘íTodo mi éxito setornará en un tema sobreél!”
“Es manipulación ycontrol, pero eso es lo queellos hacen, toman tupoder”, agregó sobre losdepredadores sexuales, yreconoció que el miedo aque pueda haber otrasvíctimas la hacía sentir mal.
Después de presentar aCrawley y decirle que noquería sentarse en silenciomientras ella compartía suhistoria con valentía,Estefan dijo que estuvoesperando la oportunidady el espacio adecuadospara contar la suya.
“Esta es una de lasrazones por las que dijeque sí a ‘(Red) Table(Talk)”’, concluyó.“Queríamos crear esteespacio para hablar decosas importantes que,con suerte, marcarán unadiferencia para todos losque están viendo”.

QUITO, 30 IX 21(AP): La disputa por eldominio de corredoresde tránsito de drogahacia el exterior así comoterritorios decomercialización internaestarían, segúnespecialistas enseguridad, detrás de lacrisis carcelaria queatraviesa Ecuador y queprovocó una sangrientapelea entre bandas quedejó 118 muertos y 79heridos.
Los efectos de haberpermitido la formaciónprogresiva de un“autogobierno” de lasbandas delincuencialesen las cárceles le estápasando factura a unEstado “debilitado”frente al crimentransnacional que la hasobrepasado, aseguró aThe Associated Press elanalista político-militar,Luis Hernández.
El sanguinarioepisodio del martes en lapenitenciaría del Litoraltiene que ver, a sucriterio, con una “disputatáctica interna”. “Elprimer control deespacio es el territorio dela cárcel y una vezcontrolado continúahacia el exterior dondelos carteles rivalizan porel mercado por vendetas,por deudas, porincumplimiento deentregas, dinero” y esose refleja en las calles,donde se vive un“sicariato masivo”,opinó el general deEjército retirado.
La Fiscalía de Ecua-dor indicó por la tardeen Twitter que la policíajudicial y criminalísticatrabaja “en laidentificación decadáveres de las perso-nas privadas de libertadasesinadas”, aunque nodivulgó ninguna cifrasobre cuántos ya hansido identificados yentregados. TannyaVarella, Comandante dePolicía, indicó a su vezante la prensa que“podrían existir otroscuerpos dentro delcentro penitenciario otambién podrían fallecerpersonas que estánheridas”.
La policía realizó unoperativo de requisararmamento y otrasevidencias. Por la nocheactualizó la cifra devíctimas—dos más delas que se tenían al iniciode la jornada—einformó en un tuit que sedecomisaron trespistolas, 25 armasblancas, más de 400municiones, explosivosy varias dosis de droga.

NUEVA YORK, 30 IX 21(AP): La canciller de Panamá,Erika Mouynes, dijo el juevesque la pandemia de COVID-19 ha sido un “fracaso re-gional”, que América Latinano va a conseguir vacunar al80% de su población este añoy que los esfuerzos paraproducir vacunas en la regiónenfrentan obstáculos “que nolograremos solucionar en elcorto plazo”.
Mouynes denunció ante laOrganización de los EstadosAmericanos (OEA) que haypaíses ricos que han realizadoacuerdos para obtener másvacunas de las que necesitan ypidió que Latinoamérica exijaque esos acuerdos seanreconsiderados.
“No nos engañemos sobrehojas de ruta de cumplimientosimposibles para coordinar lacompra u obtención devacunas que ya han sidocomprometidas para otros.Como la región a la que peor lefue en la pandemia, debemosgarantizarnos un puesto en lamesa“, dijo Mouynes en unareunión virtual de la OEA.
“Alcemos la voz juntos yexijamos que estos acuerdospuedan ser considerados paraalcanzar una redistribuciónjusta y equitativa, de maneraque todas las regiones delmundo podamos tener accesoa la vacunacióncorrespondiente en función denuestras poblaciones. Esto esuna cuestión de ética yhumanidad”, agregó.
La región de las Américases el epicentro mundial de la
pandemia con casi 1,5 millónde casos y más de 26.000muertes en la última semana.Aunque Canadá, Chile y Uru-guay han vacunado a más del70% de su población, 10 paísesy territorios de la región aún nohan alcanzado el 20%.
Mouynes sostuvo que el“fracaso” de la región encontrolar la pandemia “es unhecho que no podemosdisfrazar ni evadir”. La cancillerindicó que Latinoamérica nova a conseguir vacunar al 80%de su población este año “ni enun tiempo corto aún porcalcular”.
“El Caribe, por ejemplo,tiene sólo el 27% de supoblación mayor de 18 añoscon un esquema completo devacunación”, indicó. “Ycuando he conversado conalgunos de los colegas del áreame cuentan que han intentadocomprarlas, pero muchosproveedores no les contestansiquiera el teléfono”.
La OrganizaciónPanamericana de la Salud(OPS) siempre ha criticado eldesequilibrio que existe en elmundo para acceder a lavacunación contra el COVID-19. Más de 1.000 millones dedosis han sido aplicadas en lasAméricas.
En la reunión del jueves eldirector general de laOrganización Mundial de laSalud (OMS), TedrosAdhanom Ghebreyesus,propuso un acuerdointernacional “jurídicamentevinculante” para afrontarfuturas pandemias.
“Pedimos el apoyo de todoslos Estados americanos paraesta idea de gran necesidad amedida que trabajamos juntospara crear un futuro más sano,más seguro y más justo paratodos”, dijo en un brevemensaje pregrabado.
El secretario general de laOEA, Luis Almagro, dijo queLatinoamérica necesita másdosis.
“No puede haber retrasos enla producción de vacunas. Estotiene que ser cada vez másfuerte, cada vez más creciente ytener políticas afirmativas quelleven adelante ese impulsoque tiene su origen en la cienciapero que la política tiene queacercar a las poblaciones“, dijoAlmagro.
El secretario añadió que hayque refinanciar a la OPS paraque tenga más dinero y quehabría que declarar a lasvacunas un bien público.
Mouynes destacó queexisten importantes esfuerzospara producir vacunas enLatinoamérica pero que “sontodas líneas de producción ysuministro con miles deobstáculos que no lograremossolucionar en el corto plazo”.
Argentina y Brasil fueronseleccionados recientementepara albergar a los primeroscentros de desarrollo yfabricación de vacunas contrael coronavirus con tecnologíade ARN mensajero enLatinoamérica y el Caribe.
La corresponsal de The As-sociated Press, GiselaSalomon, contribuyó en estanota desde Miami.
harían de la nación andinaun territorio apetecido paralas organizaciones denarcotraficantes queoperan con brazos locales.Entre ellas, una buenainfraestructura vial, trespuertos internacionalesmarítimos, dosa e r o p u e r t o sinternacionales, líneas decomunicación que no sontan extensas y eso lo haceun buen lugar de “tránsitoy embarque” de droga,consideró Hernández.
Mario Pazmiño,exdirector de inteligenciadel Ejército, coincide enque el crimen organizadotransnacional “hapenetrado en la estructuradel Estado ecuatoriano” yes más específico alseñalar a dos cartelesmexicanos que hanextendido sus tentáculosen las cárceles: el deSinaloa y el Jalisco NuevaGeneración, afirmó endiálogo con la AP. Explicaque las disputas en loscentros penitenciarios “sedesarrollan en gran partepor la actividad delnarcotráfico, por loscorredores que atraviesael país: el corredor delPacífico y el corredoramazónico”.
El problema delmicrotráfico de drogatambién se refleja en loshechos de violencia einseguridad que se viveen diversas ciudades delpaís, especialmente de lasprovincias costeras, por“altos niveles de sicariato”,dijo Pazmiño. Estamosfrente una “grave”realidad, pues al igual queen países como México seestarían formando ya enEcuador “escuelas desicariato”.
En las cárceles hay,además, un negocioencubierto, considera elexcoronel del Ejército, loque implica que “cadaobjeto que entra beneficiaa esta maquinaria del cri-men organizado”. Lasmafias se caracterizanporque “su principalaccionar es a través de loscentros carcelarios”,concluyó.
En su informe másreciente sobre la situaciónde las drogas, la agenciaantidrogas estadounidense(DEA, por sus siglas eninglés) señaló que loscárteles colombianosutilizan a Ecuador, juntocon Venezuela, como unpunto de transbordo paralos cargamentos decocaína con destino aCentroamérica, el Caribey México.
Según la DEA, losgrupos colombianosconservan grandescantidades de cocaína enáreas remotas de Ecuador
mientras se espera eltransporte aéreo ymarítimo que se llevará lamercancía. Además, deacuerdo con el reporte dela agencia, cártelesmexicanos suelen enviarrepresentantes aSudamérica, incluido Ec-uador, para coordinar loscargamentos de cocaína.
Itania Villarreal,e x d i r e c t o r aRehabilitación Social, sesuma en un diagnósticoque parte de “la pérdidade un principio deautoridad del sistemapenitenciario”. Villarrealexplicó a la AP que laspersonas privadas delibertad buscan infundirel “pánico social” paralograr “espacios de poderno solo en el territoriocarcelario, sino unpoderío de la actividaddel narcotráfico” y citó agrupos como “loschoneros”, “los largatos”,entre otros asíautoidentificados.
“Las mafias delnarcotráfico se estánapoderando de lascárceles del país”,lamentó la experta, por loque llamó al gobierno apriorizar una estrategiaintegral que ponga énfasis“no solo en los centrospenitenciarios, sino quevea lo que sucede en lascalles, a donde se hatrasladado la cultura ded e c a p i t a d o s ,encostalados”, en sumala violencia de ladelincuencia organizada,opinó.
El últimoenfrentamiento en lacárcel de Ecuador fuecondenado por la CorteInteramericana deDerechos Humanos, queen Twitter recordó que“los Estados tienen eldeber jurídico de adoptarmedidas que garanticenderechos a la vida,integridad personal yseguridad de personasbajo su custodia”. LaCIDH instó al Estadoecuatoriano a realizar unainvestigación diligente eimplementar acciones deprevención para evitaruna “repetición” y frenar“el accionar de gruposcriminales” en suscárceles.
La Policía y las FuerzasArmadas continuaban eljueves en operativos derequisa al interior de lapenitenciaría del Litoral,donde se encontraroncelulares y artefactosexplosivos, informó laPolicía Nacional. Entanto, en los exteriores delcentro de rehabilitación yla morgue, familiares delos reos esperabaninformación acerca de susallegados.

“Gov. Whitmer de-serves praise for right-fully vetoing these billsthat would have under-mined the freedom tovote. After months ofRepublicans spreadingconspiracies about the2020 election, the mostfree and fair election inhistory, they found ab-solutely nothing and

“We agree with Gov.Whitmer: these bills cre-ate barriers at the ballotbox and promote the vio-lent ‘Big Lie.’ Right now,Republicans are doing allthey can with their ‘Se-cure MI Vote’ petition,

TIFFIN: Free Appli-cation for Federal Stu-dent Aid (FAFSA®) canunlock future higher edu-cation paths and connectfamilies and students —especially first-genera-tion, Pell-eligible studentsand those facing finan-cial hurdles — with thou-sands of dollars in fed-eral financial aid. Unfor-tunately, far too many ofOhio’s eligible studentsdon’t complete theFAFSA, according to theOhio Department of Edu-cation (ODE) and theOhio Department ofHigher Education(ODHE).
Heidelberg Universityaims to change that byputting that opportunitywithin reach of students.The university recentlyreceived a $30,000 grantfrom ODE and ODHEthrough the FAFSA 22Funding Opportunity.The grant is part of the$1.8 million Governor’sEmergency EducationRelief Fund. With thefunding, Heidelberg willextend its outreach to asmany as 50 high schools,providing individual-ized, on-site and follow-up assistance in complet-ing the FAFSA.
“Heidelberg has com-mitted to being a com-munity resource, not justthrough the enrollmentof students, but as a part-ner for students who maynot know how to navi-gate the processes of col-lege admissions,” saidDr. Tony Bourne, vicepresident for EnrollmentManagement & Market-ing. “One of our goals isto see a measurable in-crease in the college ma-triculation of Ohio stu-

“This year will be a bitdifferent – but thatdoesn’t mean it won’t befun,” says Sally Binard,
also a co-chair.“What’s most im-portant is the rais-ing of funds thatwill be used to as-sist those livingwith mental ill-

dents, especially those inunderserved rural coun-ties.”
“These funds will sup-port Heidelberg’s efforts tocontinue our commitmentto opportunity for studentswith financial hurdles, en-suring they have a betterunderstanding of the truecost of higher education byreceiving a full financialaid package,” Bourneadded
The university’s Finan-cial Aid team has partici-pated in Financial AidNights for 15 years, work-ing with families on thebenefits of completing theFAFSA and assisting withthe general process of sub-mitting the form. The grantfunds will expand and le-verage the infrastructureand outreach efforts al-ready in place.
Through its FAFSAcompletion assistance pro-gram, Heidelberg’s Admis-sion and Financial Aid of-fices will connect with highschool administrators andschool counselors to pro-vide “FAFSA CompletionNights” across Ohio. Thesesessions will focus on ruralschools and are designedto link students and theirparents with resources thatwill help them completetheir FAFSA on-site.
The sessions will be con-ducted by admission coun-selors with virtual assis-tance from financial aid spe-cialists. There will be a
group presentation andQ&A, followed by one-on-one work where fami-lies can complete theirFAFSA during the event.Heidelberg also will of-fer follow-up opportuni-ties. To avoid schedulingconflicts, the events willbe planned to coincidewith existing activitieswhen parents and stu-dents are often availableand school schedules areset. Many of the highschools working withHeidelberg will offermore than one date tofamilies.

Dr. Gregory Postel
Oct. 3, 2021 (AP): AsCongress considered amassive COVID-19 reliefpackage earlier this year,hundreds of mayors fromacross the U.S. pleadedfor “immediate action” onbillions of dollars targetedto shore up their financesand revive their commu-nities.
Now that they’ve re-ceived it, local officialsare taking their time be-fore actually spending thewindfall.
As of this summer, amajority of large cities andstates hadn’t spent a pennyfrom the American Res-cue Plan championed byDemocrats and PresidentJoe Biden, according toan Associated Press re-view of the first financialreports due under the law.States had spent just 2.5%of their initial allotmentwhile large cities spent8.5%, according to the APanalysis.
Many state and localgovernments reportedthey were still working onplans for their share of the$350 billion, which canbe spent on a wide arrayof programs.
Though Biden signedthe law in March, the Trea-sury Department didn’trelease the money andspending guidelines untilMay. By then, some statelegislatures already hadwrapped up their budgetwork for the next year,leaving governors withno authority to spend thenew money. Some stateswaited several moremonths to ask the federalgovernment for theirshare.
Cities sometimes de-layed decisions while so-liciting suggestions fromthe public. And some gov-ernment officials _ stilltrying to figure out how tospend previous rounds offederal pandemic aid _simply didn’t see an ur-gent need for the addi-tional cash.
“It’s a lot of moneythat’s been put out there. Ithink it’s a good sign thatit hasn’t been frivolouslyspent,” Louisville MayorGreg Fischer said. He waspresident of the U.S. Con-ference of Mayors whenmore than 400 mayorssigned a letter urging Con-gress to quickly passBiden’s plan.
The law gives states un-til the end of 2024 to makespending commitmentsand the end of 2026 tospend the money. Anymoney not obligated orspent by those dates mustbe returned to the federal
government.The Biden adminis-
tration said it isn’t con-cerned about the earlypace of the initiative.The aid to governmentsis intended both “to ad-dress any crisis needs”and to provide “longer-term fire power to en-sure a durable and eq-uitable recovery,” saidGene Sperling, WhiteHouse American Res-cue Plan coordinator.
“The fact that youcan spread your spend-ing out is a feature, nota bug, of the program.It is by design,”Sperling told the AP.
The Treasury De-partment set an aggres-sive reporting scheduleto try to prod local plan-ning. It required states,counties and cities withestimated populationsof at least 250,000 tofile reports by Aug. 31detailing their spendingas of the previousmonth as well as futureplans.
More than half thestates and nearly two-thirds of the roughly 90largest cities reportedno initial spending. Thegovernments reportedfuture plans for about40% of their total funds.The AP did not gatherreports from countiesbecause of the largenumber of them.
To promote trans-parency, the TreasuryDepartment also re-quired governments topost the reports on a“prominent public-facing website,” suchas their home page ora general coronavirusresponse site. But theAP found that manygovernments ignoredthat directive, insteadtucking the docu-ments behind numer-ous navigationalsteps. Idaho and Ne-braska had not postedtheir reports onlinewhen contacted by theAP. Neither had somecities.
Officials in JerseyCity, New Jersey, re-quired the AP to file aformal open-records re-quest to get its report,though that shouldn’thave been necessary.City employees inLaredo, Texas, and Sac-ramento, California,also initially directed theAP to file open-recordsrequests. Laredo latertold the AP it had spentnothing. Sacramento re-lented and eventuallyprovided a short report
stating it had spent noth-ing but might put its en-tire $112 million alloca-tion toward replacing lostrevenue and providinggovernment services.
Among states, thelargest share of initialspending went towardshoring up unemploy-ment insurance trustfunds that were depletedduring the pandemic.Arizona reported pour-ing nearly $759 millioninto its unemploymentaccount, New Mexiconearly $657 million andKentucky almost $506million.
For large cities, themost common use of themoney was to replenishtheir diminished revenueand fund government ser-vices. San Francisco re-ported using its entireinitial allotment of $312million for that purpose.
Those reporting no ini-tial spending includedPittsburgh, whose mayorjoined with several otherPennsylvania mayors inFebruary on a columnurging Congress to pass“crucial” aid for state andlocal governments.
“Congress must act,and they must act soon.Our communities cannotwait another day,” thePennsylvania mayorswrote.
Pittsburgh ultimatelyended up waiting tospend the money untilthe Treasury guidelineswere released, commu-nity members had achance to comment andthe City Council couldsign off on the spend-ing plans. In the future,the city plans to use partof its federal windfallto buy 78 electric ve-hicles, build technol-ogy labs at recreationcenters and launch apilot project paying 100low-income Blackwomen $500 a monthfor two years to test themerits of a guaranteedincome program.
The federal moneyalso will help pay thesalaries of more than 600city employees
“Even though themoney hadn’t techni-cally been expended”by the TreasuryDepartment’s reportingtimeline, “the receipt ofthe money was enoughfor us to hold off on ma-jor layoffs,” said DanGilman, chief of staff toPittsburgh Mayor Will-iam Peduto.
Some officials are in-tentionally taking theirtime.
Missouri Gov. MikeParson, a Republican,opted not to call a specialsession to appropriatemoney from the latestfederal pandemic reliefact. So far, he’s publiclyoutlined just one proposal_ $400 million for broad-band.
Parson’s budget direc-tor said the administra-tion will present moreideas to lawmakers whenthey convene for theirregular session in Janu-ary. Until then, the stateshould have enoughmoney left from a previ-ous federal relief law tocover the costs of fight-ing the virus, budget di-rector Dan Haug said.
“We want to try to findthings that are going tobenefit Missouri not justnext year or the year af-
ter, but 10 or 20 yearsdown the road,“ Haugsaid. “That takes somethought and some plan-ning.”
Republican state Rep.Doug Richey, who leadsa House panel on federalstimulus spending, saidhe’s not convinced Mis-souri needs to spend allof its American RescuePlan funds.
“To the extent that wespend these dollars, weare participating in anever-increasing federaldebt or bad monetarypolicy,’’ Richey said.
Missouri was one sev-eral states that waited torequest its initial allot-ment. Five other Repub-lican-led states _ Okla-homa, South Carolina,South Dakota, Tennes-see and Texas—waited

so long that they weren’trequired to file reportsby the Treasury’s Aug.31 deadline.
Tennessee wanted tomake sure small citieswere prepared for a 30-day clock that starts tick-ing for them to seek fund-ing once the dollars ar-rive at the state, said LolaPotter, a spokespersonfor the state Departmentof Finance and Adminis-tration. A South Dakotaofficial cited similar rea-soning for the delay. Fi-nancial Systems Direc-tor Colin Keeler said it’sdifficult for small townsto take the steps neededto apply.
“The state was in norush at all,“ he said. “Thecities wanted to get theirs,but we needed to be pre-pared.”

Third Federal Savings and Loan AssociationLORAIN, Octo-
ber 1, 20201: Thecollective bargainingagreement (CBA)between the LorainCounty CommunityAction Agency(“LCCAA”) and SEIUDistrict 1199 (WV/KY/OH) (“SEIU 1199”) ex-pired on August 7, 2021.Negotiations for a newcontract were bolstered, inpart, by LCCAA’s agree-ing to SEIU 1199’s de-mand in late August tosubmit one comprehen-sive proposal. In return,SEIU 1199 agreed to sus-pend its plans to picket theplaces of employment ofLCCAA board membersand other pressure tactics.Both parties honored theirpart of that late Augustagreement.
LCCAA’s comprehen-sive proposal was submit-ted to SEIU 1199 on Sep-tember 13, 2021. By allaccounts, LCCAA’s Sep-tember 13 proposal in-cluded unprecedentedeconomic and non-eco-nomic concessions.
The parties met with afederal mediator on Sep-tember 27, 29 and 30 toreview the proposal andresume negotiations. Theintroduction of new eco-nomic concessions hascreated some movement.
LCCAA’s significanteconomic concessions in-clude:
• A $15 minimum wagefor existing employeesand new hires, increasedfrom the State of Ohio’s$8.80 minimum wage. Ifaccepted by SEIU 1199,approximately 44 currentemployees will receive anincrease in pay under theproposal.
• A wage adjustment forall current and new hireemployees of .10 cents foreach year of service. Thecurrent average tenure ofan LCCAA employee is10 years. Approximatelytwenty-five employeeshave more than twentyyears of service. Longev-ity pay has never beenoffered at LCCAA or beenincluded in any previousCBA.
• The Agency will con-vert Reserve Sick Timebalances to PTO at fullvalue. The Agency paysout 100% of unused PTOeach year.
• The Agency will addfour holidays (two full day,two ½ day) bringing thenumber of full and par-
LCCAA Contract Negotiations Focus onEconomic Issues
tially-paid holidays to fif-teen per year. The newholidays include theemployee’s birthday as afloating holiday,Juneteenth, Election Day(1/2 day) and Good Friday(1/2 day).
• The Agency will add avacation bank of two daysper year for all employeesas an expanded benefit. Ifaccepted by SEIU 199, allemployees at LCCAA willhave a vacation benefit forthe first time ever.
Between the $15 mini-mum wage and additionof longevity adjustmentsalmost all employees willreceive an immediatewage increase upon con-tract ratification.
“Each one of these newbenefits shows theAgency’s commitment tocompetitive wages, goodbenefits, and desirableworking conditions” saidJackie Boehnlein, LCCAAPresident and CEO. “Themain economic issue inpast negotiations was theemployee’s cost of medi-cal benefits. Most employ-ers cover 60% to 80% ofthe costs of health insur-ance even though they areonly required to cover aminimum of 50% by law.By contrast, LCCAA willcontinue to pay 85% ofhealthcare costs withoutany plan or benefit levelchanges.”
Some of the notablenon-economic conces-sions include:
• Relaxing the defini-tion of tardiness and tri-pling the number of inci-dents required to triggereach step of discipline.
• Inclusion of nursepractitioners for signedexcused medical absencesto give employees greaterflexibility in accessinghealthcare.
• A new unpaid, 12-week professional devel-opment leave that contin-ues employer-paid benefitswhile an employee com-pletes student teaching re-quirements for degreecompletion.
“When the COVID cri-sis hit, our funders grantedflexibilities conditioned onclear policies and contrac-tual language. The more Ilooked at the messiness of
our collective bar-gaining agree-ment, the more Irealized the re-sponsibility tomake our contracta properly work-
ing document for all in-volved,” Boehnlein said.“The Agency’s compre-hensive proposal waswritten with that end inmind. We also believethat our comprehensiveproposal goes a long waytoward meeting the needsof our employees and theneeds of every LorainCounty resident seekingour services.”
The Agency’s com-prehensive proposal didask for changes andUnion concessions, in-cluding:
• Changes in the disci-pline article ending thepreviously negotiatedpractice of removing dis-cipline from employees’files at set intervals. Thesame article included amore complete list of ter-minable offenses.
• Better defining re-porting and resolutionprocedures for sexualharassment and discrimi-nation claims updated toinclude the option to con-currently file a grievance.
• A limitation on an-nual paid bereavementleaves which has previ-ously been unlimited. AnAgency proposal to cre-ate compassionate leavefor the death of a spouseor partner, parent or childwas thoughtfully rejectedby the Union’s negotia-tion team. Consequently,compassionate leave wascompletely withdrawnfrom the Agency’s Sep-tember 13 proposal.
• The Agency’s com-prehensive proposal in-cludes section headersthroughout the contractto improve readability.The Union argues thismeans we are makingmassive changes to theentire contact. TheAgency considers thisone stylistic change to theentire contract as it doesnot create changes towages, benefits, or con-ditions of employment.
• The dividing of fourarticles into additionalstand-alone articles usingthe same exact contractlanguage to clarify whichitems are and are not re-lated.
• Similarly, some ran-domly placed article sub-
sections were regroupedor moved to other articleswith the wording left en-tirely intact and un-changed.
• The Agency removedduplication of terms andconditions, especiallythose that created ambi-guity of contractual intent.
• The Agency is alsoasking for recognition inthe Seniority article thatthe definition of seniorityis limited to time of servicesince date of hire regard-less of time in a classifica-tion or a certain location.
This is not a completelist. Those interested in thedetails are directed towww.lccaa.negotiations.net.Copies of all exchangedproposals are available onthe website for public re-view. All proposals aresubject to change and/orwithdrawal during nego-tiations.
Negotiations ended onSeptember 29 with bothparties agreeing to ex-change additional coun-terproposals in prepara-tion for October negotia-tion dates. Scheduled Oc-tober dates are October 22,26, 27, 28, and 29.

LA HABANA, 29 IX 21(AP): Cuba aprobó lasprimeras 35 pequeñas ymedianas empresas (Pyme)en cinco décadas, lo queimplica un cambioimportante en su escenarioeconómico, en el cual elEstado ha sidoprácticamente el único ac-tor productivo y mercantilde la isla.
Un anuncio delMinisterio de Economía yPlanificación en un canalde la plataforma de internetTelegram el miércoles porla noche que la instituciónmantiene para contactar conemprendedores indicó que,de las nuevas firmas, 13son de producción dealimentos, seis demanufacturas y tres dereciclaje entre otras.
“La medida da luz verdea la creación de estosnuevos actoreseconómicos, que puedenya proceder a suconstitución como perso-nas jurídicas para ejercersus actividadeseconómicas”, expresó eltexto de la dependenciaoficial.
Geográficamente estándistribuidas en 11 de las 15provincias del país y 20 deellas son reconversiones denegocios ya funcionandoen la anterior etapa, unatímida apertura a lainiciativa privada realizadadesde 2010 por elexpresidente Raúl Castro.

NUEVA YORK, 1 X21 (AP): Ganaron lalotería de visas paraemigrar legalmente esteaño a Estados Unidos.Vendieron todo lo quetenían en Cuba,renunciaron a sustrabajos y se endeudaronpara viajar a Guyana acompletar los trámit
Sin embargo, ahoraestán desesperados y sinpoder mantenerseeconómicamente.
Después de que lasvisas ganadas en lalotería que no habíansido adjudicadas aúnexpiraron el jueves, laúnica esperanza decuatro familias cubanasera que un juez en Wash-ington reservara unagran cantidad para quese mantuvieran vigentes.
Pero el juez AmitMehta los dejó abatidoscuando reservó menosde un tercio de las visasconocidas como DV-2021, lo que hace muydifícil que alguna letoque a estas familiascubanas que setrasladaron a Guyanaporque La Habana notiene embajadaestadounidense.
“ E s t a m o sdevastados, nosgastamos todo, estamosen el limbo”, expresóel viernes Antonio LuisGonzález Marrero, uncontador cubano de 30años que está enGuyana con su esposay su hijo de tres añosdesde hace dos meses.“Estamos pensando enirnos a otro país paras o s t e n e r n o seconómicamente hastaver si podemos alcanzaralguna de las visas”,dijo.
La decisión de Mehtamantendrá en vilo porvarios meses más a milesde personas en el mundoganadoras de la lotería,entre ellas las cuatrofamilias cubanas quesalieron de la isla hacesemanas y no lograronuna entrevista en lae m b a j a d aestadounidense deGeorgetown.
La pandemia deCOVID-19 ha causadoprofundas reduccionesen la capacidad deprocesamiento de visas,dijo el Departamento deEstado. La paralizaciónde los procesos
que los interesadosiniciaran el procedimientocomenzó el 20 deseptiembre y en este primer“llamado” se convidó a losque tuvieran interés de abrirsus Pymes en áreaspriorizadas comoproducción de víveres ocon bases tecnológicas —por ejemploprogramadores—. No seespecificó la cantidad desolicitudes enviadas enestos días, pero “hasta elmomento ninguna ha sidodenegada” sino quecontinúan siendoevaluadas, indicó la notaministerial.
Las autoridades dijeronque posteriormente seabrirán invitaciones paraotros rubros de laproducción o los servicios,pero no precisaron cuándo.Las empresas deberánconstituirse comoSociedades deResponsabilidad Limitada(SRL).
En agosto y tras por lomenos cinco años dehaberlas prometido, lasautoridades publicaronuna veintena de leyes queautorizan las Pymes —conentrada en vigor desde el20 de septiembre—, con elobjetivo de ayudar a saliradelante a la economía dela isla, que enfrenta unadura crisis producto de lassanciones estadouni-denses, la pandemia delnuevo coronavirus —queentre otros paralizó el
turismo— y lasineficiencia de un modelofuertemente centralizado.
Las normas tienescomo excepcionessectores en los cuales elEstado mantendrá elmonopolio como laeducación, la salud o lasfuerzas armadas, ytampoco permitió elejercicio independiente alos profesionales comoingenieros, arquitectos oabogados.
Bodegas, talleres derefacciones, peluquerías ocomercios al por menorfueron clausurados oabsorbidos por el Estadoen 1968 como parte deuna ofensiva contra lainiciativa privada quehabía comenzado altriunfo de la revolución en1959.
Los productoresparticulares y empresariosfueron estigmatizados enla isla. En 2010 Castroreconoció la necesidad deuna apertura paradescomprimir la infladaplantilla estatal y eliminarla ineficiencia de laeconomía, por lo que seabrieron permisos para“ c u e n t a p r o p i s t a s ” ,pequeños empresarios quehicieron florecerrestaurantes, casas dealojamiento para turistas,se pusieron a operar taxiso crearon pequeñasindustrias a las cuales nose reconocía comoempresas.
burocráticos ha dejado amuchos en el limbo,incluidos miles deinmigrantes que trabajanen Estados Unidos convisas temporales y queaspiraban a lograr tarjetasde residencia permanenteque expiraron también eljueves.
Respecto de la lotería,Mehta ordenó al gobiernoestadounidense que re-serve sólo unas 6.900 vi-sas de las 22.300 que nofueron adjudicadas en elaño fiscal que terminó el30 de septiembre paratramitarlas el año próximo.
El proceso judicial seinició en junio a partir deuna demanda interpuestapor personas cuyostrámites estabandemorados, incluidas lasfamilias cubanas. Podríanpasar meses hasta que sesepa a quiénes seadjudicarán esas 6.900visas.
González Marrero y suesposa vendieron su casaen La Habana,renunciaron a sus trabajosy sacaron de la escuela asu niño después de ganarla lotería. Familiares queviven en el sur de Floridales prestaron 15.000dólares para podercomprar los pasajes aGuyana.
Debido a la pandemiano hay vuelos directosentre La Habana yGuyana, por lo que llegarimplicó hacerconexiones.
“Aquí no nospodemos quedar, perotampoco podemosvolver a Cuba, allí loperdimos todo y notenemos nada quehacer”, explicóGonzález Marrero.
Lisandra Tejera, unamadre soltera de 35 añosque llegó con sus doshijos a Guyana hace unmes, vive en el mismohostal que GonzálezMarrero y se encuentraen la misma situación.
“Me siento muy tristeporque para mi es el finalde todo,” dijo Tejera. Adiferencia de GonzálezMarrero, Tejeraconsidera como últimaalternativa regresar aCuba, ya que “por elmundo no puedo ir conmis dos niños solatampoco”.
Tejera también habíavendido su casa en LaHabana y dejado su
empleo.González Marrero,
que paga 1.200 dólaresmensuales por uncuarto en el hostal,aseguró que en Guyanael costo de vida es muyalto y aún si tuvierantrabajo él y su esposano les alcanzaría paravivir y pagar por elcuidado de su hijo detres años.
De las cerca de55.000 visas que seotorgaron para todo elmundo en la lotería de2021 poco más de unmillar fueron paracubanos.
Curtis Lee Morrison,abogado de las familiasg a n a d o r a sdemandantes, dijo a APque el camino para quealguien obtenga algunade las visas reservadaspor Mehta es muylargo. Primero, explicó,debe lograr que el juezfalle a su favor en unaaudiencia de juiciosumario que no ocurriráal menos hasta marzo.Después sólo los quetengan avanzado elproceso lasconseguirán.
“Mi mayor temor esque la administración(del presidente Joe)Biden apele estaorden”, dijo Morrison.
El Departamento deEstado dijo que el sólohecho de haberresultado elegido en lalotería de visas nogarantiza una visa deinmigrante o unaentrevista.
Cuando las personasresultan elegidas parael programa de lalotería, “significa queson elegibles parasolicitar y para recibiruna visa” pero no quela hayan obtenido,explicó un portavoz delDepartamento quepidió mantener sunombre en elanonimato siguiendo lapolítica del gobierno.“Los solicitantescubanos no deberíanviajar a Guyana por unacita de visa a menosque tengan una citaconfirmada o hasta quela tengan”, agregó.
Ninguna de lascuatro familias cubanasque llegó a Guyanatenía cita con lae m b a j a d aestadounidense allí.

Beneficiaries withMedicare pay nothingfor COVID-19 vac-cines or their adminis-tration, and there is noapplicable copayment,coinsurance or deduct-ible. In addition, thanksto the American Res-
cue Plan Act of 2021(ARP), nearly all Medic-aid and CHIP beneficia-ries must receive cover-age of COVID-19 vac-cines and their adminis-tration, without cost-sharing. COVID-19 vac-cines and their adminis-tration, including boost-ers, will also be coveredwithout cost-sharing foreligible consumers ofmost issuers of healthinsurance in the com-mercial market. Peoplecan visit vaccines.gov(English) or vacunas.gov(Spanish) to search forvaccines nearby.
“The Biden-HarrisAdministration has madethe safe and effectiveCOVID-19 vaccines ac-cessible and free topeople across the coun-try. CMS is ensuring thatcost is not a barrier toaccess, including forboosters,” said CMS
Administrator ChiquitaBrooks-LaSure. “CMSwill pay Medicare vac-cine providers who ad-minister approvedCOVID-19 boosters,enabling people to ac-cess these vaccines atno cost.”
CMS continues toexplore ways to ensuremaximum access toCOVID-19 vaccina-tions.
