MIAMI, January 9, 2019(AP): With the first of histhree picks for the FloridaSupreme Court, RepublicanGov. Ron DeSantis onWednesday chose a femaleCuban-American appellatejudge to become the state’snewest justice.

Barbara Lagoa, for thepast 12 years a judge on the3rd District Court of Appealin Miami, was introduced byDeSantis at an event atMiami’s Freedom Tower.The site is highly symbolicfor Cuban-Americans be-cause so many immigrantswho fled the Cuban leaderFidel Castro were processedinto the U.S. through thatbuilding.

“In the country my par-ents fled, the whim of a singleindividual could mean thedifference between food andhunger, liberty or prison, lifeor death,” Judge Lagoa said.“Unlike the country my par-ents fled, we are a nation oflaws.”

DeSantis, who just tookoffice on Tuesday, saidJudge Lagoa, 51, has an im-peccable judicial back-ground and that her Cuban-American upbringing givesher extra appreciation for therule of law. He noted that shehas considered more than11,000 cases and written 470legal opinions.

DALLAS, Jan. 9, 2019(AP): Latino-rights activistand political pioneerRamsey Muñiz, who was sen-tenced to life without parolein 1994 on a drug convic-tion, has been released fromprison after years of intenseefforts by family and sup-porters to free him.

The Federal Bureau ofPrisons says Muñiz was re-leased from the FederalMedical Center in Lex-ington, Kentucky, onDec. 10. His trial attor-ney, Dick DeGuerinof Houston, saysthe 75-year-oldformer La Raza UnidaParty candidate for gover-nor is in poor health andspends his days in bed or awheelchair.

DeGuerin said the lifesentence was mandatory un-der federal law because the1994 felony drug convic-tion was his third. His re-lease was on compassion-ate grounds under federalsupervision.

“Of course, he’ll be athome with his wife, but italso means the prison sys-tem was tired of losingmoney” on his care,

DeGuerin said.Muñiz was a lawyer and

administrator with the WacoModel Cities Program whenthe fledgling La Raza UnidaParty reached out to him torun in 1972 and 1974 againstDemocratic incumbent DolphBriscoe. La Raza Unidasought greater economic, so-cial, and political self-deter-mination to Mexican-Ameri-cans in the state.

Briscoe was re-elected with55 percent of the vote, butMuñiz took a little over 6 per-cent of the vote. Even thoughMuñiz polled under 6 percent

“She has been the essenceof what a judge should be” thegovernor said. “She under-stands the rule of law, howimportant that is to a society.”

Judge Lagoa, who grew upin the heavily Cuban-Ameri-can suburb of Hialeah, at-tended Florida InternationalUniversity and Columbia Uni-versity law school where shewas associate editor of the Co-lumbia Law Review. She alsois a former federal prosecutorin Miami. Her father-in-law isMiami senior U.S. DistrictJudge Paul C. Huck and herhusband, Paul C. Huck Jr., isa prominent Miami attorney.

DeSantis said Judge Lagoais the first Latina appointed tothe Supreme Court, but formerChief Justice RosemaryBarkett was born in Mexico toSyrian parents and spoke onlySpanish until moving to theU.S.

“I couldn’t be more hon-ored to appoint you,” the gov-ernor told Judge Lagoa as herparents, husband, in-laws andthree daughters looked on.

Florida Senate PresidentBill Galvano, R-Bradenton,said in a statement he is confi-dent that Judge Lagoa will fitthe judicial temperament thatDeSantis laid out in his inau-gural address, which called fora more limited role for theSupreme Court.

“I share the governor’s con-

cern that in recent years thepower of the judicial branchhas extended beyond its lim-ited constitutional respon-sibility, in many cases erod-ing the authority of the leg-islative branch,” Galvanosaid. “I believe democracy isat its best when each branchof government exercisesboth authority and restraintat the appropriate time.”

New GOP U.S. Sen. RickScott, Florida’s governor thepast eight years, called JudgeLagoa a “fantastic choice”who has had a “stellar legalcareer.”

“I know she will be astrong voice for years tocome,” Scott said in a state-ment.

DeSantis has two otherSupreme Court picks due tomandatory retirements andis widely expected to tilt thecourt toward a more conser-vative philosophy.

Associated Press writerCurt Anderson contributedto this story from Fort Lau-derdale, Florida.

of the vote to Briscoe’s 61percent in 1974, it was seenas enough to decide futureclose elections.

“It kind of awakened thesleeping giant in Texas ofthe potential strength His-panic voters had,” DeGuerinsaid. He said he believed thatstrength made Muñiz a per-ceived threat to the estab-lished order.

He was arrested and ac-cused in 1976 of conspir-

ing to smuggle 6,500pounds of marijuana

from Mexico. Afterfleeing to Mexico andbeing recaptured, he

served five years in a federalpenitentiary, crushing the LaRaza Unida Party as a politi-cal force in Texas.

He worked as a paralegalafter his release, only toserve two more years inprison after pleading no con-test in 1982 to possessingcocaine. He had returned toparalegal work when he wasarrested again in 1994 nearDallas.

Since then, supportershad been campaigning forhis release, including peti-tioning President BarackObama for a pardon.

NUEVA YORK, 9 I 19(AP): Mientras los Globos deOro el domingo sedestacaron por la escasez dediscursos políticos, DonaldTrump no pudo ser obviadoel martes por la noche en lospremios de la Junta Nacionalde Reseñistas que, dio lacasualidad, se entregaronmientras el presidenteabogaba de nuevo por unmuro en la frontera conMéxico en un discursotelevisado.

La extraña coincidenciaavivó una ceremonia querara vez se ha mantenido lejosde la política. La mayoría delos ganadores previamenteanunciados que asistieron ala gala no televisada en Man-hattan—incluida Lady Gagade “A Star Is Born‘‘ y el direc-tor de “Green Book”, PeterFarrelly—hicieron algunamención a Trump y suspolíticas.

Barry Jenkins, al recibirel premio al mejor guionadaptado por “If Beale StreetCould Talk”, basado en unanovela de James Baldwin,subió al escenario justocuando Trump se dirigía a lanación desde la Oficina Ovalde la Casa Blanca.

“Literalmente en estemomento el presidente estáhablando sobre muros yfronteras. No sé cómo ocurrióesto, así que no puedo evitarhablar del presidente y defronteras y de todos estosmuros“, dijo el director de“Moonlight”. “Hay unacelebrada película (docu-mental) llamada ‘Minding

NUEVA YORK, 9 I 19 (AP):No mucho antes de las eleccionespresidenciales de EstadosUnidos en 2016, Samira Ahmedterminó el primer borrador de sunovela “Internment“, unahistoria distópica sobre lasredadas de musulmanesnorteamericanos.

Tras conocerse que DonaldTrump había ganado la elección,Ahmed recibió un texto de unaamiga que había leído elmanuscrito y temía que su obrafuera profética.

“Me dijo, ‘espero que no seasCasandra’”, dijo Ahmed a TheAssociated Press en unaentrevista telefónica reciente.

Las novelas sobreinmigrantes, como lainmigración misma, son unaparte extensa y central de lacultura estadounidense. En2019, libros concebidos antesdel ascenso de Trump llegan demanera oportuna mientras elpresidente, quien lanzó sucampaña llamando a losmexicanos “violadores”, tieneen paro al gobierno federal parainsistir en el financiamiento deun muro fronterizo. Elmandatario a menudo harechazado acusaciones de quees xenófobo y antiinmigrantes,y ha defendido sus accionesdiciendo que controlar lainmigración es importante parala seguridad nacional.

En una encuesta de Associ-ated Press-NORC Center forPublic Affairs Researchrealizada poco antes del paro, el49% de los participantesmencionó la inmigración comouno de los cinco problemas queesperan que el gobierno abordeen 2019. Solo 27% mencionó lainmigración en diciembre de2017.

“Mientras los titulares deactualidad le dan a los lectoresuna cobertura oportuna de lainmigración, la ficción ofreceexploraciones más profundas ycomplejas sobre el tema”, dijoLaila Lalami, cuya novela “TheOther Americans” llegará a laslibrerías el 26 de marzo.

Las nuevas obras de ficcióntranscurren por todos lados, deVirginia a California, yconfrontan la narrativa del sueñoamericano de asimilación ymovilidad ascendente. Entre

SAN JUAN, 9 I 19 (AP):Puerto Rico dio el miércolesotro paso hacia lareestructuración de unadeuda superior a los 17.000millones de dólares en bonosde impuestos sobre ventasemitidos por la isla, querepresentan casi la terceraparte de la deuda general enbonos del territorioestadounidense.

El organismo federal quesupervisa las finanzas dePuerto Rico informó que lostenedores de bonosaprobaron el plan después deuna votación en la queparticiparon más de 8.000 deellos, según los resultados noauditados de la votación. Elanuncio se da a conocer enmomentos en los que elterritorio estadounidenseintenta reestructurar unaporción de su deuda públicaque supera los 70.000millones de dólares mientraslidia con una recesión desdehace 12 años y con los estragostras el paso del huracán María.

Una jueza federal quesupervisa el proceso de laisla, similar al de unabancarrota, tiene programadauna audiencia sobre el plande reestructuración a partir

del 16 de enero. De aprobarse,el acuerdo representará 40 añosde pagos para el gobiernopuertorriqueño. Los tenedoresde bonos senior, que poseencasi 8.000 millones, serán losprimeros en cobrar, recibiendoel 93% del valor de los bonosoriginales. Los tenedores jun-ior, muchos de los cuales soninversionistas puertorriqueñosindividuales y que poseen casi10.000 millones de dólares,serán los últimos en cobrar ysolo recuperarán el 54% de suinversión.

La directora del organismo,Natalie Jaresko, dijo en uncomunicado que el plan dereestructuración es clave parala recuperación de Puerto Rico,pero algunos economistasafirman que el pacto podríaterminar costando más a largoplazo y que la capacidad de laisla para pagarlos podríareducirse en el futuro.

Más de 26.000 personas hanfirmado una petición en la quepiden a la jueza Laura TaylorSwain que rechace el plan, yaque les preocupa que haya másrecortes para los jubilados yempleados, reducciones en losservicios básicos e incrementosen el costo de vida en caso deque el gobierno de Puerto Rico

no pueda realizar los pagos.Los detractores señalan queel gobierno redujorecientemente el impuestosobre la venta para losalimentos preparados de11,5% a 7%, y que lainyección de miles demillones de dólares en fondosfederales para la recuperacióndel huracán solorepresentarán un impulsoeconómico temporal.

“Aprobar este acuerdo eselácamino para máse n d e u d a m i e n t oirresponsableáy llevará algobiernoáa un nuevoimpago”, señala la petición.

El gobierno de Puerto Ricocompletó en noviembre suprimer acuerdo derestructuración de deudadesde que anunció que estabaen bancarrota hace más detres años. El pacto se concretócon acreedores que poseíanmás de 4.000 millones dedólares en deuda emitida porel ahora difunto BancoGubernamental de Fomentode Puerto Rico, que emitíapréstamos y supervisaba lastransacciones de deuda de laisla pero que dejó de operar enmarzo pasado debido a larecesión.

otras está “El archivo de los niñosperdidos” (“Lost ChildrenArchive”) de la mexicana ValeriaLuiselli, que narra la historia dejóvenes inmigrantes separadosde sus familias, y “Patsy” deNicole Dennis-Benn, sobre unamujer jamaiquina que descubreque Estados Unidos no es paranada como había imaginado.

“Creo que ha habido unverdadero florecer de novelassobre inmigración”, dijo lacompradora de ficción paraBarnes & Noble SessaleeHensley, citando obras como“Searching for Sylvie Lee” deJean Kwok, sobre una familia deinmigrantes chinos. “Laseditoriales realmente se hanestado esforzando en ofrecer unagama más amplia de voces”.

La primera novela de Devi S.Laskar, “The Atlas of Reds andBlues”, sigue la desalentadoraexperiencia de una hija deinmigrantes bengalíes nacida enEstados Unidos cuando se mudacon su familia a un suburbio deAtlanta. La autora comenzó aescribir su libro antes de queTrump fuera elegido, pero sienteque su narrativa encajademasiado bien con el clima ac-tual.

“Todos estamos viviendojuntos el actual gobierno”, dijoLaskar. “Esta historia termina en2010, pero siento que las semillasde lo que sucede comenzaronmucho antes”.

Angie Kim empezó su primeranovela, “Miracle Creek”, hacevarios años. Pero al terminar elprimer borrador de su historiasobre una familia inmigrantecoreana en el centro de un caso deasesinato en Virginia, Trumphabía ganado las elecciones. Kimcomenzó a agregar,inconscientemente en aquelentonces, material sobreinmigración.

“Al principio escribí sobre elidioma y la frustración de quienesse consideran inteligentes ycultos pero que al encontrarse enun lugar donde no hablan elidioma vuelven a sentirse comoniños“, contó. “Cuando escribíalgunas nuevas escenas, en eneroy febrero de 2017, todas girabanen torno al racismo”.

Lalami ha escrito cuatro librosde ficción, incluyendo el finalistaal premio Pulitzer “The Moor’s

Account”, inspirada en suMarruecos natal. En “The OtherAmericans”, escribe sobre lamuerte sospechosa de uninmigrante marroquí en una calleen California. La comenzó en el2014, en respuesta a un problemade salud de su padre y a unareciente ola de crímenes de odiocontra los musulmanes.

“Mucha gente está interesadaen la inmigración debido a Trump;él ha generado un sentido deurgencia“, dijo Lalami, quien daclases de creación literaria en laUniversidad de California enRiverside. “Pero en lo que a mírespecta, la historia habría sido lamisma, aunque los lectorespuedan encontrarla másoportuna”.

Como señalaron variosescritores, sus historias parecencontemporáneas, pero losproblemas planteados por lapresidencia de Trump hanexistido gran parte del pasadodel país, ya sea con la reclusión dejaponeses-estadounidenses du-rante la Segunda Guerra Mundialo la Ley de Exclusión de Chinosde 1882 o la Ley de Inmigraciónracista de 1924.

“Toda la historiaestadounidense lleva a lo queestá ocurriendo ahora”, dijoAhmed.

Luiselli, autora de obras deficción y no ficción nacida en laCiudad de México, habló conniños que enfrentaban ladeportación para su libro de 2017“Los niños perdidos: Un ensayoen cuarenta preguntas” (“Tell MeHow It Ends: An Essay in 40Questions”). Empezó a escribirsu novela en 2014, “mucho antesde que Trump fuera parte de estepanorama”.

“Miles de niños han llegadosolos y sin documentos a lafrontera, huyendo a la violenciade pandillas y otras circunstanciasde violencia y abusoinnombrables. El gobierno deObama no fue particularmentecompasivo en su trato de menoresindocumentados”, escribióLuiselli en un correo electrónico,en inglés, agregando que no tuvoque hacer ninguna revisiónimportante una vez que Trumpllegó a la presidencia.

“Lo que sucede”, agregó, “esque la crisis ya estaba ahí paraentonces”.

the Gap’ de Bing Liu. Bing Liuy su familia emigraron (deChina) para acá. El presidenteno los quiere acá”.

Jenkins también citó dosde las películas más aclamadasdel año—Roma del mexicanoAlfonso Cuarón y “The Rider”de la china Chloe Zhao—comoobras brillantes hechas porinmigrantes que Trumpdescartaría. Concluyó citandoa Baldwin—“Uno solo puedeenfrentar en otros lo que puedeenfrentar en uno mismo”—ydeclarando, “No a los muros.No a las fronteras“, además deuna grosería dirigida a Trump.

La cena anual fuepresentada por Willie Geist yofrecida por la Junta Nacionalde Reseñistas, unaorganización fundada hace109 años e integrada porentusiastas, académicos yprofesionales del cine. Es unade las muchas escalastradicionales en la temporadade premios de Hollywood.Aunque tiene poco peso en lacontienda por el Oscar, es unalto más entre otros galardonesy una excelente oportunidadpara pulir discursos deaceptación que quizás nofueron usados en los Globos.

Tanto Lady Gaga (mejoractriz) como Bradley Cooper(mejor director) recibieronpremios dos días después dehaberse ido a casadecepcionados con tan soloun Globo de Oro. Cooper fuepresentado por StevenSpielberg, quien elogió sudebut en la silla del directorcomo el nacimiento de uncineasta talentoso. “Bradley

es un sobreviviente y Brad-ley es una esponja”, dijoSpielberg.

Para presentar a Gagaestuvo Stephen Colbert,quien apuntó alegrementeque “estar aquí significa quetuve que perderme el estúpidodiscurso del presidente”. Enun extenso y equilibradodiscurso de 13 minutos, Gagadijo que era muy distinta alpersonaje que interpreta ensu película.

“Sabía que aunque ellaera una mujer fuerte, sentiríalas presiones para sucumbir alo que otros considerabanque era su futuro, mientrasque en mi carrera yo hetratado una y otra vez desubvertir la influencia quehombres poderosos en mivida tenían sobre mí y crearalgo inesperadocompletamente sola“, dijoGaga. “Si me decían quefuera a la izquierda, yo dabaun giro cerrado a la derecha”.

Su coprotagonista SamElliott también fue celebradoel martes como mejor actorde reparto. El discurso delactor de 74 años, con sucaracterística modestia ycadencia, recibió la ovaciónde pie más ruidosa de la noche.

Gov. Whitmer and Equal PayOp Ed by Progress Michigan

Yet another progressive executive order from Gov. Whitmercharts Michigan on right path

LANSING, Jan. 8, 2019: Governor Gretchen Whitmer has signed an executive orderaimed at ensuring equal pay for equal work for state employees, again earning praisefrom Progress Michigan. The gender wage gap is an issue the watchdog organizationhas been lifting up for years, and it’s pleased to see progress made on this front.

The order “prohibits state agencies and departments from inquiring about a jobapplicant’s current or previous salaries until a conditional offer of employment,including proposed compensation, is made. Further, it prohibits retrieval of the sameinformation by searching public records or databases,” according to a media releasefrom Whitmer’s office.

Gov. Whitmer is wasting no time showing that equality is at the top of her mind asshe works to drive Michigan in a new direction. This executive order helps address long-term pay discrimination that has plagued our state for too long.

Women deserve equal pay for equal work, and while work remains to be done to ensuretrue freedom and equality in the workplace, the governor is showing great leadership on thisissue. This is yet another example of how women are taking the lead to make real changein Michigan to benefit every family and community across this state.

Sincerely,

Lonnie ScottExecutive Director of Progress Michigan

“BOOM FOR REAL: The LateTeenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat.” Specialguest for both the receptionand the film will be curatorCarlo McCormick.

Known today for hisoutsized role in the rise of NeoExpressionism and recentrecord-breaking auction sales,the late Jean-Michel Basquiatwas first recognized for hisgraffiti work in the Lower EastSide of Manhattan in the late1970s and early 1980s. In theemerging artistic circles there,the focus was not on creatingcontent the established artmarket could readily digestand profit from, but on creat-ing a community that stood inopposition – fostering unfil-tered, uninhibited expression.

Basquiat’s work illumi-nated the contradictions of

society – its opposing reali-ties, inequalities, injustices– through a mix of disparateartistic traditions and unre-fined, raw emotion fueledby the punk and hip-hopmovements of the time. Inonly a few years, he wentfrom supporting himselfthrough panhandling andselling painted T-shirts andpostcards while homeless,to being one of the mostcelebrated artists in NewYork, bringing the streetlevel politics of what was anunderground counter-cul-ture collective with him intothe spotlight.

Zeitgeist offers a uniqueopportunity to revisit theexplosive, pre-fame periodof Basquiat and his contem-poraries. For these creators,

CMA at TransformerStation: Raúl de Nieves:Fina, the first solo museumexhibition by Raúl de Nieves(b. 1983, Michoacán,México), will feature newwork in a site-specific in-stallation developed for theCleveland Museum of Art atthe Transformer Station.

Narrative facets of theinstallation will be in-formed by de Nieves’s ex-perience of Mexican cul-tural traditions, consideredthrough the lens of thismoment in history. Thesewill unfold in relation tothe particular architectureof the Transformer Station.As a whole, the installationwill be characterized by theartist’s ongoing interest intransforming humble ma-terials into spectacular ob-jects that alter the spacesaround them.

Mr. De Nieves, who livesin New York, traces his artis-tic practice back to his child-hood in México: at schooland alongside family mem-bers, he learned traditionalLatin American sewing andbeadwork that now perme-ate his art in multiple ways.

At the age of nine deNieves immigrated to SanDiego with his mother andtwo brothers. Later he movedto San Francisco and finallyto New York, where his mul-timedia practice, includingpainting, sculpture, and per-formance, has taken shape.

De Nieves has presentedsolo projects and perfor-mances at The Kitchen andthe Watermill Center, NewYork (both 2017), and theInstitute of ContemporaryArt, Philadelphia (2016). Hehas participated in majorcontemporary art surveys,

i n c l u d i n gDocumenta 14(2018), the 2017Whitney Bien-nial, and GreaterNew York atM o M A / P S 1(2015). His workis part of the SwissInstitute for Con-temporary Art’sinaugural exhi-

The announcementopens a new and excitingperiod in the College’s his-tory, Tri-C President AlexJohnson said.

“A mascot serves as aunifying symbol that con-nects students and alumnito their College. It’s a recog-nizable symbol that builds

engagement and a sense ofcommunity,” Dr. Johnsonsaid. “As of today, we standtogether as the Tri-C Tricer-atops.”

Students, staff and alumnichose Triceratops as theschool’s new mascot duringan online September poll thatattracted nearly 4,000 votes.With “Tri-C” built into itsname, the dinosaur seemsideally suited to representthe College.

Tri-C spent the past threemonths working with StudioSimon, an industry leader in

sports brand identity, todevelop the mascot forthe College and athleticteams. The firm hascrafted logos for wellover 100 professional,collegiate and amateurteams and leaguesacross the country.

Merchandise withthe Tri-C Triceratopslogo will be availableat campus bookstoresbeginning Monday,

New buildings open smoothly, get thumbs-upCLEVELAND, January

9, 2019: Students fromCharles W. Eliot PreK-8School moved next doorinto a brand-new buildingWednesday, and spirits wereso high that Principal IvyWheeler described what she,staff and students were feel-ing as magical. “It’s a beau-tiful space,” she said. “I’mexcited. I’m excited for fami-lies to see it.”

Eliot students, who hadbeen based temporarily inthe old Whitney M. YoungLeadership Academy build-ing on Harvard Avenue,were not the only ones onthe move Wednesday.

Students from FullertonSchool in the Slavic Villageneighborhood relocated toa new building on East 74th

Street, once the site of A.B.Hart School. And studentsfrom Whitney Young shiftedto an adjacent modularbuilding purchased for theiruse.

The new buildings arethe latest finished projectsin CMSD’s continuingmodernization program.The District, which will opena new building in theCollinwood neighborhoodfor students from Oliver H.Perry School later thismonth, has now built or fullyrenovated more than 40schools, a number that is ap-proaching half the system.

Wednesday are perfect fitsfor new instructional modelsthat have given Eliot and Ful-lerton students more controlof their learning. Both fea-ture large, interactive touchscreens in every classroomand comfortable furniturethat can be easily rearrangedfor group work. Open “ex-tended learning areas” givestudents room to work to-gether in teams, engage in“maker” activities withLegos or models and prac-tice robotics.

“We’re preparing the stu-dents for the 21st Century,”said Naimah Gooden, Eliot’smedia specialist. “It’s a con-ducive learning environ-ment.”

Treveon, an eighth-graderat the school, said the newbuilding “has something spe-cial. Where everything isplaced, the design,” he said.“The hard work the workersput in, it’s amazing.”

Both of the new buildingswill have one device for everystudent, technology that couldnot be used effectively untilnow because the schools’former space lacked or did not

have good wireless access.Fullerton Principal

Kevin Payton called hisschool’s move “a new be-ginning for students, staff,everybody.” He said thetechnology would allowstudents to “learn beyondthe classroom.”

Sixth-grade teacher GinaEaton said the new spaceleft her feeling “euphoric. Icould teach in a basementwith a candle if I have learn-ers willing to learn,” shesaid. “But it’s much easierin a bright, welcoming andopen environment.”

Paul Hoover, leader of aschool network that in-cludes Eliot and Fullerton,was pleased to see the open-ings go smoothly. He praisedteachers who went in ontheir own time during win-ter break to make sure class-rooms were ready. “Thiscame together nicely; theteachers did a great job,” hesaid. “That says a lot aboutthe staff.”

Prescription nonadher-ence is widespread and issignificantly impacting thehealth and pocketbooks ofa growing number of Ameri-cans. The CDC reports thathalf of Americans stop tak-ing their medicationswithin one year of beingprescribed.

Nonadherence leads toapproximately 125,000deaths and costs the U.S.healthcare system between$100 billion – $289 billionannually.1 For those withchronic illnesses, hospitaladmission rates increase byup to 69 percent for non-adherent patients.2

“Nonadherence is a hugechallenge for the U.S.healthcare system, espe-cially for chronically illpatients who may take morethan eight medications atone time,” says Meera Patel-Zook, Senior Director ofPharmacy at BuckeyeHealth Plan, a managedhealthcare plan for Ohioanson Medicaid, Medicare andthe Health Insurance Ex-change. “While many sim-ply forget to take their medi-cation, we also know therecan be a knowledge gap forsome patients in understand-ing how to take their medi-cation properly. At Buck-eye, we saw an opportunityto expand upon traditionaladherence programs bylooking at this issue throughour members’ eyes.”

Buckeye does thisthrough its prescriptionmanagement program,BuckeyeRxPlus, an inno-vative and customized ap-proach to improving medi-cation adherence, decreas-ing costs and creating betterpatient outcomes. Pilotedin 2017, the program targetsmembers who take 10+medications daily and/orhave a high-cost chronicdisease.

“There is so much we cangain from sitting across thetable with our members andseeing the medication first-hand and listening to themtalk about it in their own

words. The in-home assessmentis an added layer of interven-tion and insight compared withtraditional programs. It deep-ens our understanding in a waya paper form or even a phonecall can’t accomplish,” saysPatel-Zook. “Gathering anaccurate picture of eachpatient’s medication usage andchallenges is key to theprogram’s success.”

How BuckeyeRxPlusWorks:

1. In-Home AssessmentIn collaboration withExactCare Pharmacy, our rep-resentatives visit participatingpatients at home to gather pre-scription information and pro-vide a program overview. Pa-tient information is then sentto a clinical pharmacist for com-prehensive clinical review andto begin the process of verify-ing and obtaining the patient’sprescriptions.

2. Medication Reconcilia-tion

Clinical pharmacists thor-oughly review each patient’scomplete medication profileand check medications for ac-curacy, duplicate therapies,contraindications and poten-tial drug interactions. The phar-macists work with the patient’sphysicians to identify a solu-tion to any issues identified.Pharmacists also collaboratewith the patient’s Buckeye caremanagement team for follow-up, resulting in 250 referrals in2017.

3. Compliance PackagingPatients receive a home-de-

livered customized Pill Packeach month, which consoli-dates medication doses basedon the day and time they shouldbe taken. BuckeyeRxPlus alsomanages monthly refills.

4. Medication EducationBuckeyeRxPlus conducts

provider outreach with actionplans and follow-up to deterexcessive prescribing. Theprogram also offers informa-tion on quality initiatives suchas medication therapy man-agement, high risk medications

and diabetes education.Polypharmacy issues are re-solved by placing the major-ity of prescriptions with onepharmacy.

BuckeyeRxPlus WorksThe program has resulted inadherence rates close to 100percent for BuckeyeRxPluspatients. Additionally, Buck-eye has decreased inpatientstays and Emergency Depart-ment visits along with costsavings of approximately$500 per member per monthfor members participating inthe program.

“We are thrilled with theprogram’s success and arelooking at ways to expand itin the future,” says Patel-Zook. “We’ll pilot a programexpansion in 2019 for mem-bers discharging from inpa-tient care. We see a lot ofhospital readmittance due tomedication management, andwe believe our program canmake a substantial impacthere.”

Buckeye is proud to havereceived a 2018 PinnacleAward, from the Ohio Asso-ciation of Health Plans, forthis program.

Buckeye Health Plan: Innovating prescriptionadherence with a results-driven program

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8, 2019(AP): Former Obama admin-istration housing chiefJulian Castro met with Ne-vada Democrats and leadersof the Latino community inLas Vegas on Tuesday, daysahead of his planned an-nouncement of a 2020 runfor the presidency in SanAntonio on January 12, ‘19.

Castro, the Democraticformer mayor of San Antoniowho served in PresidentBarack Obama’s second term,said that as a presidentialcandidate, he’s going to betalking about improvingpublic education, equal treat-ment under the criminal jus-tice system, and addressingwhat he called the existentialthreat of climate change.

Castro told a group of LasVegas high school studentsthat two things at the top ofhis agenda if elected are: torecommit the United Statesto the Paris climate accordand work to pass universalhealth care legislation.

The next president willalso have to rebuild allianceswith foreign countries thatPresident Donald Trump hasweakened, Castro said, and“spend at least the first twoyears of their administrationtrying to clean up the mess ofan administration that hasbeen quite corrupt and is justdoing a terrible job of man-aging these federal agen-cies.”

Republican NationalCommittee spokeswomanRenae Eze, in a prepared state-ment, called Castro’s visit

“nothing more than a manda-tory campaign rendezvous foran ego-driven politician thatonly cares about advancing hiscareer, not Nevadans.” She saidCastro would “deliver emptypromises.”

Castro helped re-arrangetables and chairs to set up hisroundtable chat with about adozen students and teachers ina portable classroom at RanchoHigh School. The North LasVegas school is known for po-litical alumni, including U.S.Rep. Rubén Kihuen, and itsactive Hispanic student union,whose leaders met with Castro.

“I remember that when I wasin high school, I kind of hadmixed feelings about politicsbecause in some ways I felt likeI didn’t see what difference itmade,” Castro said. “I didn’tsee that the people in officewere doing much to help thepeople I was growing up with.”

Castro is expected to beamong the youngest candidatesin the field and the most promi-nent Latino.

On Tuesday night, minutesafter Trump wrapped up a prime-time address to the nation abouthis U.S.-México border wall,Castro told Clark County Demo-crats that the president “deliv-ered his usual lies about immi-gration.”

“The president has been ona three-year mission to scare theAmerican people on the issueof immigration,” Castro said.He added that America needs tosecure its border with person-nel and technology and needsto “harness the potential of im-migrants in the country, start-

ing with our Dreamers.” Theterm relates to the never-passed DREAM Act thatwould have provided pro-tections for young immi-grants who were broughtwithout documentation tothe United States as children.

Castro’s visit was the firstpublic one to Nevada by apotential 2020 candidate thisyear, though he and otherpotential 2020 contendersmade appearances duringlast year’s campaign season.

In August, Castro visiteda Nevada Democratic Partyoffice on the heavily Latinoeast side of Las Vegas andstumped for Democratic can-didates north in Reno, thestate’s second-most popu-lous area outside of ClarkCounty.

Earlier in the day, Castromet with Peter Guzmán, thepresident of the Latin Cham-ber of Commerce, which hasbacked candidates of bothparties in past elections.

Guzmán, a Republican,said he and Castro spokeabout how education andhealth care are areas whereentrepreneurs and business-friendly Democrats can findcommon ground.

“I was very, very im-pressed with him,” Guzmántold The Associated Press ina telephone interview. “I’mimpressed with his story. I’mimpressed that he comes fromSan Antonio and was mayorthere.”

Other announced can-didates include SenatorKamala Harris and USRep. Tulsi Gabbard.

WASHINGTON, DC,Jan. 10, 2019 (AP): Theformer head of the FederalEmergency ManagementAgency [FEMA] saidThursday that what’s hap-pening on the U.S. south-ern border is no emergency.

Craig Fugate, who ranthe national disasteragency for nearly eightyears under PresidentBarack Obama and washead of Florida’s disasteragency under a Republi-can governor, said the pushof refugees seeking asylumon the border with Méxicois not a national emergency.

Donald Trump hascalled it a crisis and isweighing a national emer-gency declaration to by-pass a reluctant Congressand fund his long-promisedborder wall. It is the issuethat has led to the extendedpartial government shut-down.

The Obama administra-

tion appointed Fugate, whoran recovery operations tonumerous hurricanes andother disasters, to managethe issue of separated mi-grant children.

“And that was a crisis,”Fugate said in a phone inter-view with The AssociatedPress. It was an issue of masscare, he said.

More terrorists come intothe United States through thenorthern border than thesouthern, said Fugate, whowas part of the Departmentof Homeland Security.

“I’ve yet to see anythingphysically stop illegal im-migration,” Fugate said. Hesaid it would be cheaper andmore effective to spendmoney to reduce crime andpoverty in areas the refugeesare fleeing from to stop un-documented immigrationthat way.

“This is posturing, blus-tering,” Fugate said. He saidTrump is essentially saying,

“If I can’t get Congress tofund it, I’m going to use myauthority to bypass Con-gress.”

Fugate said he worriesthat it continues a trend ofpresidents being more pow-erful than the legislativeand judicial branches,something he traces backto Abraham Lincoln and,more recently, FranklinRoosevelt. The SupremeCourt stopped PresidentHarry Truman from usingnational emergency pow-ers to nationalize the steelindustry, but Fugate saidhe worries that won’t hap-pen if Trump declares anational emergency to by-pass Congress.

“What happens if theysuspend the vote? What hap-pens if they suspend the Con-gress?” Fugate asked. “That’swhat happens in countrieswhere the executive branchis greater than the legislativeand judiciary.”

Former FEMA boss says southern bordersituation is not an emergencyBY SETH BORENSTEIN, AP Science Writer

ALBUQUERQUE,N.M., Jan. 7, 2019 (AP) _ Astate lawmaker is propos-ing a state holiday in honorof the late U.S. Sen. DennisChávez of New Mexicoand the late farmworkerunion leader César Chávezof California.

New Mexico Rep.Miguel P. García has pre-filed a bill that would des-ignate the first Friday ofevery April as “DennisChávez and César ChávezDay” to honor two Latinofigures who played a keyrole in Latino civil rights.

The proposal comes 17years after New Mexicovoters rejected a constitu-tional amendment to cre-ate a state holiday in honorof César Chávez.

But García said he de-cided to try again to push aChávez holiday becauseNew Mexico now has a morediverse state Legislature andhe believed the new gover-nor would be receptive.

“This is long overdue,”García said. “There are noother kinds of individualsconnected to New Mexico

quite like these gentlemenwho regularly preached civilrights and social justice.”

Tripp Stelnicki, a spokes-man for Gov. Michelle LujanGrisham, said the governorhas not reviewed the bill.Around 49 percent of thepopulation in New Mexico isLatino.

The New Mexico-bornDennis Chávez served in theU.S. Senate from 1935 to 1962and earned a reputation as adefender of Mexican-Ameri-can civil rights. During andafter World War II, he heldhighly publicized Senate hear-ings in Washington, D.C., totake testimony from return-ing Mexican-American vet-erans who were being deniedjob opportunities and hous-ing over their ethnicity.

The Yuma, Arizona-bornCésar Chávez co-founded theUnited Farm Workers ofAmerica with DoloresHuerta. The pair organizedboycotts and strikes to pushfor better working conditionsfor farmworkers. Chávezspent most of his life in Cali-fornia but galvanizedChicano students in the late

1960s and early 1970s withhis call for better farmworkerwages.

César Chávez and Ms.Huerta attracted the supportof U.S. Sen. Robert Kennedyof New York, who visitedChávez when he broke ahunger strike.

García said he didn’t in-clude Ms. Huerta, who wasborn in Dawson, NewMexico, in the holiday pro-posal since Ms. Huerta, 88,is still alive and active inmany causes. However,Garcia said he supports theidea for the state to place amarker near Dawson to markthe place of her birth.

“We need to do more tohonor our heroes allaround,” he said.

PERRYSBURG Jan. 10,2019: Plans for a 20-acredemonstration wetland onthe Carter Historic Farm,a public park near BowlingGreen, are reaching frui-tion as earth-moving andconstruction activities onthe project begin this week.

Black Swamp Conser-vancy is partnering withthe Wood County ParkDistrict on the restorationproject. The restorationarea is parallel to the drain-age ditch at the back of the80-acre farm, and will ex-pand wildlife habitat in awetlands area typical of theHistoric Great BlackSwamp. The area will cap-ture nutrients and sedi-ments from the land beforethey are able to leave theproperty and contribute toharmful algal blooms inLake Erie. When the resto-ration is complete, visitorsto the farm and park areawill be able to see a work-ing wetland up close andlearn about agriculturalconservation.

In December, the con-struction team installed anaccess drive and erosioncontrol on the grounds. Be-ginning this week, twoweeks of construction willget underway, including:

• Construction of bermsand swales around the ex-terior of the wetland resto-ration area;

• Locate and break

drainage tiles in the wetlandrestoration area;

• Excavate pools and mi-cro-topography in the wet-land;

• Build interior berms;• Install stone spillways

for water control in the wet-land;

• Prepare soil and installa-tion of wetland seed mix inthe wetland and erosion con-trol / native grass seed mix onthe berms.

In the spring, planting ofnative shrubs and trees in thenewly restored wetland willcomplete the project.

This project was financedin part or totally through agrant from the Ohio Environ-mental Protection Agency andthe United States Environmen-tal Protection Agency withGreat Lakes Restoration Ini-tiative funding.
