Otros 1.000 soldados aúnpermanecen en Irak preparandolos equipos que enviarán deregreso a España. El gobiernosostiene que estarán en el paísantes del 27 de mayo.
El anterior presidente delgobierno español, José MaríaAznar, del conservador PartidoPopular, había respaldado laguerra en Irak a pesar de la fuerteoposición de la poblaciónespañola.
España no participó en lainvasión, pero envió fuerzasposteriormente.
Rodríguez Zapateroprometió que su gobierno nuncatransgredirá ni apoyará unaviolación de las leyesinternacionales para combatirel terrorismo.
El líder español manifestóante sus partidarios que «laauténtica lucha, y la más eficaztiene que articularse con lacooperación de todos los paísesdemocráticos, todas las nacioneslibres, dentro de la seno de lasNaciones Unidas, con lacooperación de todos y no conlas intervenciones militares queno conducen a nada más que elfracaso».
El encuentro del domingocomenzó con un minuto desilencio por las 191 personasque murieron y las más de 2.000que resultaron heridas en losatentados terroristas ferroviariosde Madrid, el 11 de marzo.
Los ataques, por los que se haresponsabilizado a milicianosislámicos, tuvieron lugar tres díasantes de las elecciones generalesen las que triunfó sorpresivamenteRodríguez Zapatero.

BOGOTA (AP): Ladesaparición de Carlos Castaño,jefe histórico de los gruposparamilitares, continua siendoun misterio mientras lasautoridades judiciales ymilitares intensifican subúsqueda.
Castaño desapareció elpasado 16 de abril, en medio deversiones contradictorias queindican que está muerto o sehalla escondido con el propósitode escapar a los Estados Unidos.
Una comisión de la Fiscalíay militares adelanta la búsquedade una fosa común en la que sehallarían siete cadáveres paradeterminar si entre ellos seencuentra el de Castaño, segúnfuentes de la Brigada 17 delEjército.
La búsqueda se adelanta enla zona rural del municipio deSan Pedro de Urabá, alnoroccidente del país, en dondedesapareció Castaño despuésde un enfrentamiento entre suescolta y un grupo paramilitarque aparentemente intentabaasesinarlo.
Sin embargo, un importantejefe paramilitar, Adolfo Paz,aseguró que no es cierto que lasAutodefensas Unidas de Co-lombia (AUC) hubieranordenado asesinar al jefe político
de la organización por temor aque escapara y suministrarainformación a las autoridadesestadounidenses sobre losnegocios del narcotráfico en queestán involucrados jefesparamilitares.
«Creo que Carlos debe estarbien», afirmó Paz, en unaentrevista que publica eldominical El Espectador, en lacual reiteró la versión oficial delas AUC, de que no hubo ataquecontra Castaño sino unenfrentamiento por error entretropas amigas.
Aseguró que ni él ni VicenteCastaño, hermano del jefeparamilitar, ordenaron suasesinato como represalia porsupuestos intentos de CarlosCastaño de negociar su entregaa la justicia de los Estados Unidosque lo solicitó en extradición ysu discurso en contra de lacontaminación delparamilitarismo con el negociode las drogas.
«Las sindicaciones contra mío el comandante VicenteCastaño son perversas», aseguróel jefe paramilitar que en 1990hizo parte de un escuadrón dejefes de la mafia que cooperaroncon las autoridades para localizara Pablo Escobar, el todopoderosojefe del Cartel de Medellín, quienmurió enfrentando un escuadrónpolicial, tras una larga guerracontra el Estado que dejóalrededor de 5.000 muertos.
En contraste con lo queafirman Salvatore Mancuso, jefemilitar de las AUC, y Paz, queparticipan en la mesa denegociaciones de paz con elgobierno, otras fuentes de losparamilitares han dado diversasversiones que indican queCastaño fue asesinado despuésde que logró escapartransitoriamente del ataque del16 de abril.
Tanto el Gobierno como laFiscalía han dicho que Castañoestá desaparecido, pues no hayninguna evidencia de que estémuerto y por lo tanto los esfuerzosde las autoridades se concentranen esclarecer los hechos,buscando pistas en la zona delmunicipio de San Pedro deUrabá, en donde se afirma que eljefe paramilitar fue asesinadopor sus camaradas de armas.

NEW YORK (AP): Re-publican National Conven-tion officials announced aSpanish-language web siteat a meeting of Latino busi-ness leaders Thursday.
“The web site exemplifiesthe Republican Party’s con-tinued commitment to diver-sity,” said Bill Harris, chiefexecutive officer of the GOPconvention, taking place atMadison Square Garden start-ing Aug. 30. “Diversity is oneof our country’s strengths, it isone of New York City’sstrengths, and this August andSeptember, diversity will serveas one of the defining charac-teristics of this convention.”
The site can be accessedby clicking on the “EnEspañol” tab on theconvention’s home page.
Harris, who spoke at abreakfast meeting of the stateFederation of Hispanic Cham-bers of Commerce in mid-town Manhattan, said he hadno comment about the city’sdecision this week to deny apermit to a group planning alarge anti-war demonstrationin Central Park at the start ofthe convention.
“We are Republicans sowe believe in the Constitu-tional right of people to saywhatever they want to say,”he said. “I have every confi-dence in the security plans ofthe city of New York.”
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP):Republican groups are reach-ing out to the western part ofthe state’s burgeoning Latinopopulation, claiming theyshare similar goals and reli-gious viewpoints.
Macon County Republi-cans, who outnumber regis-tered Democrats in the countyby about 600, seek to shore uptheir numbers by pledging todevelop a Latino outreachprogram. The Republicansthere have formed a focus groupand say they will soon discusscommon issues with Latinoleaders in the community.
Buncombe County Re-publicans may follow suit. PittCounty GOP voters are alreadyahead of the game—theircounty party chairman, JavierCastillo, personifies what hecalls the natural merger of thetwo groups.
“We share family values,and we don’t like taxation,”he said. “Democrats have takenLatinos for granted in the past.”
On the national level, theRepublican National Commit-tee developed an outreachgroup in 2000, called the NewMajority Council.
“We’re reaching out topeople because they’re good,decent, God-fearing peopleand that’s the definition ofbeing a Republican,” saidFerrell Blount, chairman of thestate’s Republican Party.
The state board of electionsdoesn’t keep tabs on how many
Latinos have registered asDemocrats, Republicans, orindependent voters. ButCastillo, scouring voter regis-tration lists for common His-panic surnames, estimates that35 percent of Latino voters areDemocrats, 32 percent areunaffiliated, and 33 percentare Republicans.
“In fact, the majority of reg-istered Latino voters in thestate are not Democrats,”Castillo said.
Ricardo Velásquez, chair-man of the Hispanic Demo-crats of North Carolina,counters the claim, sayingthere are twice as many LatinoDemocrats in the state as Re-publicans.
“Hispanics vote Demo-cratic because the Democraticparty shares their issues,”Velásquez said.
He said Mexican-Ameri-cans, who make up the over-whelming majority of Latinosin North Carolina, tend to leanDemocrat, seeing the party asthe champion for worker andcivil rights. Cubans—morepopulous in states such asFlorida and New York—tendto vote Republican becauseof the traditional GOP stanceagainst Fidel Castro’s Cubangovernment, he said.
Those stereotypes areslowly eroding, said AndrewTaylor, a political science pro-fessor at North Carolina StateUniversity.
“You’ll have Republicans
reach out to them stylistically,”he said, such as in references toreligion and by sprinklingSpanish into stump speeches.
However, Taylor said, is-sues such as immigration re-form and affirmative actioncontinue to wedge rifts be-tween Latinos and Republi-cans.Some Democrats, interestgroups unhappy withminority representation onKerry campaignBy GENARO C. ARMASAssociated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP): Alack of minority representa-tion at the upper levels of JohnKerry’s presidential campaignthreatens to weaken enthusi-asm among black and Latinovoters, two core constituen-cies, some Democrats and ad-vocacy groups say.
Kerry’s inner circle—thedozen or so advisers who par-ticipate in the campaign’s mostimportant decisions—ismostly white.
Senior political adviserPaul Rivera said a core groupof seven high-ranking staffersparticipate in a daily, morningconference call to talk strat-egy and make key decisions.The group includes campaignmanager Mary Beth Cahill;deputy campaign managersSteve Elmendorf and MarcusJardotte; communications di-rector Stephanie Cutter; gen-eral election strategist JillAlper; and senior advisers Art
Collins and Rivera. Jardotteand Collins are black; Riverais Latino.
Campaign officials say me-dia consultants, pollsters andother top aides are often on thecall, including chief speechwriterBob Shrum, and Tad Devine, anarchitect of Kerry’s general elec-tion planning.
Shrum and Devine arewhite, as is John Marttila, alongtime Kerry ally from Mas-sachusetts who spent a lot oftime at campaign headquar-ters during the Iowa and NewHampshire races and is con-sidered part of the brain trust.
Campaign officials disputethe criticism, saying too muchof the focus has been on theinfluence of Shrum, Devine,and other consultants.
“Throughout the primaryprocess, we’ve had a very di-verse campaign. Now we arebuilding a general electionsystem that is diverse,” he said.
The campaign noted thatKerry has enjoyed strong sup-port from minorities duringthe primaries. Exit pollingconducted for The AssociatedPress in 18 states that haveheld Democratic primaries thisyear found Kerry easily win-ning support among whites,blacks, Latinos, and Asians.
Cahill invited anyone con-cerned with diversity to visitcampaign headquarters inWashington. “In every officein the campaign, we are look-ing to have people with differ-ent backgrounds and experi-ences and different approaches
to the campaign,” she said.Blacks and Latinos typi-
cally vote overwhelminglyDemocratic, though Republi-cans are making efforts to cap-ture a larger share of supportfrom Latinos.
Among Latinos, 61 percentvoted for Clinton in 1992,followed by 72 percent in1996. Gore captured about 62percent of the Latino vote in2000.
A campaign staff’s makeupsuggests what the WhiteHouse staff could look like ifthe candidate wins, said LisaNavarette, a vice president ofthe National Council of LaRaza, a nonpartisan Latinoadvocacy group.
The average voter may notfocus on this, she said, “but forpeople concerned about thestrength of the commitment todiversity, you would have tobe concerned.”
Census Bureau estimatesshow that in 2002, 81 percentof Massachusetts residentswere white, 7 percent wereLatino and 5 percent wereblack. Nationally, the popula-tion is about 68 percent white,14 percent Latino and 12 per-cent black.
“The Kerry campaign cer-tainly at the top definitelyneeds…Hispanics, it needs tobe more diverse,” said DavidBositis, a political scientist atthe Joint Center for Politicaland Economic Studies, a thinktank focused on black issues.“But he’s got plenty of time toaddress this.”

Answers for Living the Last Months of Life
For my family, the answer
was right in our own home.
“When my father, Marcelino, found out he had a
terminal illness, he insisted on spending his final
months at home. He didn’t want to even think about
being anywhere else.
“My family wanted to have Papi stay home, too. We
believe in taking care of our own.
“Hospice of Northwest Ohio made it possible by
sending us doctors, nurses, aides and social workers
– plus coordinating his medicines and equipment.
Hospice responded to our every needand kept my father feeling good enough to enjoy many
visits with our big family.
“Papi’s final wish was to return to his original home,
Puerto Rico, for his last days. Hospice of Northwest
Ohio arranged to transfer him to a hospice program
there, where he passed away in peace. For me and my
family, the compassion of Hospice really hits home.”

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP):More than 100 brands ofcandy sold in California, mostof them from México, havetested positive for dangerouslevels of lead in the past de-cade and little has been doneabout it, a newspaper reported.
In nearly every case, thecandy—mostly marketed toLatino kids—stayed on storeshelves and no action wastaken against the Mexicanmanufacturers, the OrangeCounty Register reported inSunday’s editions, citing stateand federal records.
The public was rarely in-formed of test results, thenewspaper found.
“Children are eating poi-son,” said Leticia Ayala, of SanDiego-based EnvironmentalHealth Coalition, a nonprofitgroup that urged the state tobetter regulate Mexican can-dies.
State officials said theylack the resources to tacklethe problem and have littlejurisdiction over Mexicancandy manufacturers.
“We have a lot more re-sponsibilities than looking forlead in candy,” said JimWaddell, chief of the stateHealth Department’s Foodand Drug Branch.
Lead poisoning can cause
Dozens of Mexican candies sold inCalifornia have high lead level
brain and nerve damage andresult in intelligence and be-havioral problems, particularlyin children. Concerns aboutlead poisoning led to a ban onlead-based house paint in the1970s and on lead compoundsin gasoline in the 1980s.
The state Department ofHealth Services has conductedmore than 1,500 tests on Mexi-can candy since 1993 andfound high levels of lead inone of every four samples, thenewspaper reported.
As many as 15 percent ofCalifornia children who sufferlead poisoning—about 3,000over the past three years—haveeaten Mexican candy, accord-ing to state statistics. About three-quarters of them are Latino.
The government did littleto release the information tothe public, the paper said.
For example, it knew ofhigh lead levels for years inChaca Chaca, a popular Mexi-can treat made from apple pulpand chili powder, but no pub-lic warnings were issued untillast month.
The Register conducted itsown tests on 180 samples pur-chased over the counter inSouthern California, an 32percent of the tests showed highlevels of lead.
The newspaper sent report-
ers to México, and reportedthat raw ingredients were care-lessly tainted with lead be-fore being shipped to facto-ries, where unsafe manufac-turing procedures were com-monplace.
Mexican manufacturerssaid they had no knowledgetheir candies contained dan-gerous levels of lead untilcontacted by the newspaper.
The manager of one candystore in San Luis Rio Colo-rado, México, told the YumaSun that he threw the sweetsaway after Mexican healthofficials told him a few weeksago that the confections poseda health hazard.
In Arizona, officials fromthe Yuma County Health De-partment sent out employeesseveral weeks ago to warnmore than 80 retailers aboutthe sweets.
The coated candies andlollipops are sold in the area,mostly in small markets in theborder cities of San Luis andSomerton.
Health officials also saythey are concerned about resi-dents who cross the borderand might buy the candies.
NEW YORK (AP): For-eign-born children are morelikely than native-bornyoungsters to suffer from avariety of ills including pesti-cide poisoning, obesity andpost-traumatic stress, accord-ing to a new report.
The report, prepared by theCenter for New York City Af-fairs at New SchoolUniversity’s Milano GraduateSchool, found that lead poi-soning disproportionately af-fects certain immigrant com-munities including Haitiansand South Asians.
Haitians make up fewerthan 3 percent of foreign-bornchildren in New York City,but they account for almost 27percent of all foreign-bornchildren with lead poisoning,according to the report.
Children born in India,Pakistan and Bangladeshmake up fewer than 9 percentof the city’s foreign-born chil-dren, but they account for 23percent of the foreign-bornchildren with lead poisoning.
“It was the most stark find-ing in that it showed that spe-cific immigrant populationsare more likely to be impactedby lead poisoning than otherimmigrant populations,” saidMia Lipsit, a program associ-ated at the center and one ofthe authors of the study.
Possible reasons why leadpoisoning rates are so high inthese communities includeexposure in the children’s
home countries and the use ofhousehold items or evenspices that contain lead, ac-cording to the report.
Among the report’s otherfindings:
_Twenty-eight percent ofnon-citizen children in NewYork City lack health insurance,while only 6 percent of native-born children in native citizenfamilies across New York Stateare without coverage.
_Latino children have byfar the highest rate of pediatricobesity in the city. Almost one-third of Latino children be-tween the ages of 6 and 11 areobese, compared with 16 per-cent of white children and 23
percent of black children._Rat and roach infestations
in the homes where many im-migrant children live contrib-ute to high rates of athsma andto exposure to toxic pesticides.
_Many immigrant chil-dren are at risk for psychologi-cal and behavioral problemsresulting from prior exposureto violence.
The report, which was pre-sented at a forum at the NewSchool on Wednesday, reliedon data from the 2000 Census,scholarly articles and othersources.

WASHINGTON (AP): Im-migrants starting Friday willpay $50 to $65 more to be-come Americans, to live as alegal resident in the country orto apply for a number of otherimmigration benefits.
The Bush administrationhas said it raised the fees, firstannounced in January, to coverthe costs of increased securitychecks on applicants and ris-ing administration expenses.But one Hispanic group saysthe increases will hit Latinoimmigrants hardest and makebecoming a citizen more diffi-cult for millions of Latino le-gal permanent residents whoare eligible to be Americans.
As of Friday, a legal resi-dent will pay $320, up from$260. For immigrants whowant to become legal perma-nent residents, the cost will be$315, up from $255. Also, mostapplicants will have to pay a$70 fingerprinting fee, an in-crease of $20.
“Congress requires us to doa fee study to determine if weare covering the cost of doingbusiness. When we did wefound we are losing $1 milliona day,” said Chris Bentley,Citizenship and ImmigrationServices spokesman.
Critics of the fee increasesay the agency should first fixproblems in the agency thathave led it to have more than 6million pending applications,because those problems could
be contributing to the higherexpenses for the agency. Theincreases, without improvedservice, will keep people frompursuing citizenship, saidLarry González, Washingtondirector for the National Asso-ciation of Latino Elected andAppointed Officials Educa-tional Fund.
An analysis conducted forNALEO estimates that about4.2 million Latinos are eligiblefor U.S. citizenship. The analy-sis was developed by JeffreyPassel, a researcher at the lib-eral-leaning Urban Institute,based on U.S. Census data.
“How ironic that we haveall these folks eligible for citi-zenship and yet we have a ser-vice agency that continues tocreate barriers to citizenship,”said González. His organiza-tion works to bring moreLatinos into elected office andthe political process, in part bypromoting U.S. citizenship.
Gonzalez said citizenshipis an issue that crosses partisanlines and promoting it shouldbe a legislative priority. Hesaid the Office of Citizenshipformed by the Bush adminis-tration is underfunded.
“Everyone wants to talkabout immigration reform andillegal immigrants,” Gonzálezsaid. “Not that those are notimportant, but at the same timewe have the issue here of peopleplaying by the rules and doingit right and we have a systemthat is broken.”

SASABE, México (AP):Luego de una declinaciónde cuatro años, lainmigración ilegal deMéxico a Estados Unidos harepuntado.
Miles de inmigrantescruzan diariamente lafrontera con la esperanza deconseguir visas de trabajobajo un programa propuestopor el presidente George W.Bush. Otros intentanadelantarse a unendurecimiento de lasmedidas de seguridadplanificado para junio.
La patrulla fronteriza deEstados Unidos dijo a TheAssociated Press que lasdetenciones, que usan paraevaluar los niveles deemigración ilegal, subieronun 25% en comparación conel año anterior, llegando a535.000 en los seis mesesque concluyeron el 31 demarzo.

Las autoridades tuvieronque emplear barras de hierropara abrir los remolques.Adentro, se encontrabanhacinados 134 hombres, 36mujeres y 19 niños, el menorde ellos de siete años,hacinados, sin comida ni agua,dijo Vinicio Portello, unportavoz de la ProcuraduríaGeneral de la República enChiapas.
Los remolques estabancubiertos con plástico parahacerlos herméticos, pero losindocumentados habíanabierto agujeros en él a fin depoder respirar, dijo Portello,de la oficina de la PGR enChiapas. Las temperaturas enel interior llegaron a los 42grados.
Portello indicó que losindocumentados ingresaronen los remolques el domingopor la noche, sin recibiralimento alguno sino 12horas después. Indicó quetenían comida y aguaembotellada y al pareceresperaban realizar un largo
LOS ANGELES (AP),April 27: An initiative thatwould bar undocumentedimmigrants from obtainingdriver’s licenses and mostpublic services failed toqualify for the ballot.
The “Save Our StateInitiative” fell about115,000 short of the
punto de cruce ilegal mástrajinado de la región, unpromedio de 2.000 personasllegan diariamente.
Hace poco, unos 300inmigrantes atravesaron unsector de alambrada de púasque había sido cortado en lasafueras de Sasabe, y seinternaron en Estados Unidoscon varios contrabandistas,que los condujeron a lo largode un sendero.
Raudel Sánchez, uncampesino de 22 años deedad, dijo que deseabaretornar a su trabajo en unahacienda de Minnesota.
Sánchez cruzó a EstadosUnidos a través de Sasabehace tres años, pero dijo quela travesía es cada vez másdifícil. El caminó tres días enel desierto y se quedó sinagua. Poco después, fuecapturado en Arizona ydeportado.
Muchos inmigrantesestán confiados en laaprobación de una propuestade inmigración de Bush, queenfrenta una enconadabatalla en el Congreso.Alrededor de un 75% de losarrestados son mexicanos, entanto el resto son deCentroamérica y de otrossitios, dijeron funcionariosde aduana estadounidenses.
En enero, Bush propusoun plan de trabajadoresinvitados que daría statuslegal a indocumentados queya laboran en Estados Unidosy a aquellos fuera del paísque pueden demostrar queles han ofrecido un empleo.
Debido a que es difícilobtener una oferta de trabajomientras están en México,muchos están cruzando lafrontera, esperandoestablecerse antes de que seinicie el programa.
viaje, quizás al centro deMéxico o incluso hasta lafrontera con Estados Unidos.
El vocero consideró quelas condiciones dentro delremolque eran «inhumanas»,y advirtió que muchosmiembros del grupo hubieransufrido asfixia si lasautoridades no los hubieranliberado.
El descubrimiento llevóa la detención del conductordel camión y de sus dosasistentes. Los tres sonoriginarios de la ciudad deMéxico, y enfrentarán car-gos por tráfico deindocumentados, señaló lafuente.
Los inmigrantes fueronllevados a Tuxtla Gutiérrez,la capital de Chiapas, y seríandeportados después a suspaíses desde la ciudad deTapachula, cerca de lafrontera con Guatemala,añadió el portavoz.
En mayo pasado, 19inmigrantes indo-cumentados murierondespués de quedar encerradossin ventilación en elremolque de un camión,descubierto en una paradacerca de la población deVictoria, Texas. Fue uno delos casos más mortíferos en lahistoria de los cruces ilegalesde la frontera con EstadosUnidos.

Immigration initiative fails to qualifyfor ballot
No existen datos exactossobre la cifra de personas queingresan ilegalmente enEstados Unidos. Pero unaindicación del aumento deltráfico es que 535.000indocumentados fueronarrestados a lo largo de lafrontera mexicano-estadounidense entre elprimero de octubre y el 31 demarzo, dijo Gloria Chavez,de la Oficina de Aduanas yProtección de la Frontera deEstados Unidos.
✔598,105 needed to qualifyfor the November ballot,organizers said Monday.
The initiative never gotthe support and funding itneeded from the Republi-can leaders. Gov. ArnoldSchwarzenegger never tooka position on it.
Republicans were hurt at
the polls for their supportof a similar initiative in1994. Proposition 187 wasapproved by 60 percent ofvoters but it was chal-lenged in court and nevertook effect. The measurealienated many Latinovoters from the Republi-can Party.

Latino stuckin jail asofficialsdecide whopays for aninterpreter
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP):A Latino, who can’t speakEnglish, has sat in a jail cellfor five months as court of-ficials try to decide whowill pay for an interpreter.
Luis Velásquez has beenin jail since November, fac-ing assault and DUI chargesafter being accused of caus-ing a car accident in whichtwo people were seriouslyhurt. Prosecutors offered the20-year-old Latino man aplea bargain seven weeksago, but he cannot take orreject it, because he can’tread it.
Velásquez also hasn’tbeen able get his bond low-ered or help his attorneyswith a defense.
He’s stuck because aJefferson circuit judge andthe public defender’s officedisagree over who is respon-sible for paying for a Span-ish-speaking interpreter.
“This is a ludicrous situ-ation,” said Leo G. Smith,an assistant to Chief PublicDefender Dan Goyette.“There’s a poor person sit-ting in jail without the helpof an attorney because thejudge won’t authorize aninterpreter. ... The case is ata standstill with him sittingin jail.”
The Administrative Of-fice of the Courts, whichmanages Kentucky’s judi-cial system, pays for inter-preters inside the court-room. At issue in theVelásquez case is who paysfor time spent outside thecourt discussing the case.
Jefferson Circuit JudgeF. Kenneth Conliffe arguesthat the public defendershould cover the cost, whileSmith and others fromaround the state say that aspecial fund controlled bythe Kentucky Finance andAdministration Cabinet inFrankfort can be used to payfor translators for indigentdefendants.
The state Court of Ap-peals apparently will haveto decide the issue.
In an unusual move, thepublic defender’s office andthe commonwealth’s attor-ney have joined forces toask the court to orderConliffe to authorize thetranslator’s payment fromthe fund.
Conliffe said he willabide by whatever the ap-peals court decides.
Velásquez arrested inNovember and indicted thenext month on charges thathe drove drunk into anothervehicle on Nov. 14. He isbeing held on a $50,000cash bond.
Growing up in the Detroitsuburbs in the era of themuscle cars, Latino artistCamilo Pardo never dreamedthat one day he’d be the de-signer that brought the1960s-era GT40 racing leg-end back to life.
An accomplished artist,sculptor, clothing and furni-ture designer, Pardo’s workhas been featured in galler-ies and shows from Monacoand Italy to the Paris MotorShow.
“I come from a family witha long tradition in art andarchitecture, said Pardo,whose family includes archi-tects in Colombia andMéxico. His mother,Roseanna Pardo emigratedfrom Bogota to New Yorkwhere Camilo was born in1963. “I am the first one ofmy family to be born in theUnited States,” he says.
Pardo’s mother eventu-ally moved to Detroit and hegraduated from RochesterHigh School in the northernsuburbs. He enrolled in theprestigious Center for Cre-ative Studies in 1981 andgraduated in 1985 as the re-cipient of that year’s Indus-trial Design Society of
America Merit Award.Ford spotted his talent
while he was at CCS andhired him immediately uponhis graduation. Pardo beginshis 19th year at Ford thismonth. He worked in Ford’sAdvance Design studio onvehicles ranging from theFord Thunderbird to the Lin-coln LS and the Ford electricvehicles. He also worked inFord’s design studios in Co-logne, Germany and Turin,Italy before returning toDearborn as design managerfor Special Vehicle Teamprojects.
Pardo is now chief de-signer in the Living Legendsstudio where every day whenhe arrives at work, he turnshis VCR on to the JohnFrankenheimer classic“Grand Prix” and watches theopening scenes and listensto the sounds of the race forinspiration. That’s no sur-prise for a man whose pas-sion for automobiles has metits match in his passion forart.
“Being an artist reallycomplements my car designs.I can’t imagine having onewithout the other. Both re-quire me to deal with propor-
tions, emotions and creativ-ity, which all lead to perfectexecution,” Pardo explains.
Pardo is keenly aware thathe is a unique role model toLatino youth. He recountshow at a recent visit to a SanAntonio high school “thekids brought in copies ofAuto Week (picturing theGT40) for me to sign, andthey even had me sign theirtee shirts.” A former teacherat CCS, he always tries tomake students more aware ofart and advises youngLatinos to go into design andart as a career path. But Pardoisn’t only reaching out tohigh school students; his re-cent and upcoming appear-ances at schools includeSouth Texas University andthe University of Architec-ture in Monterey, México.
Pardo’s personal collec-tion of classic cars includes aFerrari 308 GT and a topless1964 Thunderbird, a project
car with no convertible topand doors that are weldedshut to eliminate all gaps inthe sheet metal. To get in,Pardo just hops over the sideor climbs out by stepping onthe seat.
“If it starts raining, youjust hope you don’t catchany red lights on the wayback to the garage. If you’regoing fast enough, the air-flow blows the rain right overthe car and off the deck. Theyknew a little about aero backin the ‘60s too,” he says.
He says he is still excitedthat his work has allowedhim to meet many of the leg-endary automobile racers headmired as a youth includ-ing Parnelli Jones.
Two of Pardo’s GT40paintings hang in the execu-tive offices of Ford WorldHeadquarters in Dearbornand his painting of a 1961Lincoln Continental can befound on the walls of Ford’s
Latino artist Camilo Pardolives out his dream as chief de-signer of Ford’s GT40 conceptcarBy Alan AbramsLa Prensa Senior News Correspondent
Premier Automotive Group’sLondon headquarters.
“I still do commissions,”says Pardo, “but I am sobooked up that I only acceptthem if they are priority. I dohave prints available of mywork that are on canvas andfull size,” he adds.
Pardo said he had drawnand re-drawn the GT40 con-cept design in his mind formore than a decade. Evenwhen he was given permis-sion to do an exploratory claymodel of a modern GT40 in1999, he never really ex-pected to create a fully devel-oped concept car. He says he’llnever forget the day in March2001 when he received thecall that began the dream as-signment of his lifetime.
Pardo is single and livesin downtown Detroit in anart studio and apartmentwhere he works on his otherartistic endeavors in his sparetime.

Youngstown, OH: Nearly500 people from around thestate attended Ohio Latino ArtsConference, April 16-17. Hostedannually by the Ohio LatinoArts Association (OLAA), theevent seeks to identify, pre-serve, promote and developLatino cultural expression inOhio.
This year OLAA developeda special partnership withYoungstown State University’sFine & Performing Arts depart-ment and Latino student orga-nizationMi Gente, the NationalAssociation of Latino Arts &Culture, and La OrganizacionCivica y Cultural HispanaAmericana. This collaborationestablished a solid base of sup-port for Latino arts.
OLAA President CeciliaRoman Gerling said the two-day conference successfullystrengthened theorganization’s relationshipwith Ohio’s Latinos.
“Our vision is to be recog-nized as a national model forpromoting Latino arts,” shesaid. “We want Latino Arts toenergize and motivate you, yourfamily and your community toshare in our great cultural pastand future. As Carlos Fuentes,author of How I Started ToWrite, has stated, ‘No culture…retains its identity in isolation;identity is attained in contact,in contrast, in breakthrough.’”
