The Migration of the Monarch butterfly from the US state of Ohio to the Mexican state of Michoacan has always been special to me as I have grown up in Ohio and my mother is from the State of Michoacan.

Spanish network signs on Nov. 1
Columbus Dispatch - Columbus,OH,USA
Azteca America, a broadcasting network based in Los Angeles, will begin broadcasting Nov. 1 on its new local affiliate, WCPX-TV (Channel 48). The station is designed to give central Ohio Latinos a local broadcast voice, said Orozco, who also is the general manager and part owner of WXOL (1550 AM), a Spanish-language radio station known as RadioSol. In Ohio, Latino buying power increased 247 percent from 1990 to 2006. As a result, advertisers increasingly look to media that can reach that growing demographic. The Latino population in Franklin County was 35,526 in 2005, up about 11,200 from five years earlier, according to U.S. census data. Central Ohio is home to at least five weekly and biweekly Spanish-language newspapers, a magazine and at least two radio stations.

This article was written in the most racist hostile offensive tone of any article I read this week regarding Latinos in Ohio.

Northern Panhandle police officers take crash course in Spanish
Daily Mail - Charleston - Charleston,WV,USA
MOUNDSVILLE — Friday was graduation day for 30 law enforcement officers who took a crash-course in Spanish to address the growing number of arrests involving illegal immigrants and undocumented workers in West Virginia’s Northern Panhandle… Sheriff John Gruzinskas said there have been “increasing incidents with Spanish speaking people whether they are legal or illegal.”… Traffic stops on Interstate 70, which runs though Burgoyne’s county, accounted for most of the arrests, but he said undocumented construction workers account for more arrests now…”I think the word is traveling around that 14-mile stretch of interstate in the Northern Panhandle wasn’t the best place to be traveling if you’re an illegal,” Burgoyne said.
