In her summary ofthe project, which indicatedthe fitness centerwas an appropriate usein the downtown busiessdistrict, CommuniyDevelopment DirecorNellie Dyer notedhat having people usngthe building in theate evening and earlyorning hours may acuallybe a security benfitfor the adjacentusinesses.Commissioner Philipeisch asked for morenformation about secuitymeasures, such ashat would happen ifomeone was injuredhile exercising alone,nd asked Tileston if allhe security measuresescribed in the AnyimeFitness informaionprovided to theommission would beollowed.“Absolutely,” responedTileston, explainngthat the “panic buton”feature could besed for emergencies ornjuries, or even in thevent that a gym memerfeels uncomfortbleif non-membersre loitering around theuilding or attemptingo get in.Meisch also asked forlarification on the ageomeone will have to beo join. Tileston saidouth as young as 13 and4 can join, but mustave a parent present toxercise. At 16 years ofge, youth can join on arobationary period oforts to see if they areature enough to beorking out with adults.At the public hearingon the matter, nearbyresident Richard Kleebergclarified that hewasn’t against the projectand said he “willprobably be one of thefirst people who willjoin,” but nonethelesswas concerned abouthaving 24 hour activitywhen there are residencesacross the streetand in the vicinity.“The City of New Yorkis fond of calling itselfthe city that neversleeps,” said Kleeberg,“but in my five yearshere, I never heard ofWinters wanting to be acity that never sleeps.”Besides the added activitydowntown, Kleebergexpressed concernthat a 24-hour businessmight put added stresson the Winters PoliceDepartment. In particular,he said teenage gymmembers may attractteenage non-membersto the area and add tosecurity problems.“The concept of thebusiness is good, but not24-7,” said Kleeberg,suggesting that the gyminstead close at 10 or 11p.m. and open at 5 or 6a.m.No one else spoke atthe hearing, after whichcommission chairPierre Neu asked Dyerif Winters Police ChiefBruce Muramoto hadbeen consulted aboutpossible security problemsassociated with a24-hour business. Dyersaid Muromoto hadbeen forwarded the entireAnytime Fitnesspacket, and Tilestonadded that he’d discussedthe project withhim as well and informedhim that accidental911 calls are“very rare, if ever.”“He was not concerned,”said Tilestonof Muramoto’s responseto the gym.Commissioner WadeCowan asked how manyof the four residencesacross the street wereactually being used asresidences, as they havedual residential/commercialzoning, andDyer responded thattwo were being used asresidences and twowere being used asbusinesses. She addedthat all residences inthe area were notifiedof the project, and shereceived no letters,emails or phone calls.Commissioner BruceGuelden noted that havingmore people downtownat night means“other sets of eyes andears” to spot crimes takingplace.“It may be beneficialto have people drivingaround at 10 o’clock atnight as they go to usethe facilities,” saidGuelden.No further commentfrom the commission orpublic was raised, andCowan moved to approvethe project, withGuelden seconding.

And Ithought, “Who has needlesand thread downtown?Bingo – ClothCarousel.”I walked around thecorner and was thrilledto see that it was openand owner Jan Bawartwas there. I told her Iwas in need of emergencyassistance — didshe have a bit of threadand a needle I couldborrow, and explainedwhy. Jan did one better.“I think we can sew itHighlight oftheir yearFamilies of disabledyoung adults in Wintersmust thank The Palmsmanager Dave Flemingfor his generous andheartfelt assistance inhaving a successful Halloweendance party forWinters disabled studentsand their schoolmatesfrom the adjoiningarea.It is often difficult fordisabled young peopleto have an opportunityto mingle with theirpeers, and to find acceptingpositive safeplaces where they canbe themselves and enjoythe social opportunitiesthat others take forgranted. Saturday nightwas a joyful gathering ofcostumed revelers,dancing the night away.This will long be rememberedas the highlightof the year.Music was provided bythe most excellent DJRyan Martinez.

(God, Ilove this town…) Withina few little stitches, Iwas good to go.While Jan was mendingme, I explained thatnot only do I not have abackup pair of jeans, Idon’t have any needlesor thread or much ofanything else until I getmy house reassembled.She pulled the laststitch through, tied itoff, and said, “What aminute, I have somethingfor you.”It being Tuesday, I figuredshe had somethingshe wanted to get intothe Express at the lastminute. But no, shewent into her back shopand returned with a darlinglittle pocket sewingkit, adorned with asparkly rhinestone butterfly,and handed it tome so I’d never be button-lessagain. How delightfulis that?Jan Bawart at ClothCarousel — one morereason to love this town.A BITTERSWEET LIT-TLE STORY emergedthis week at our office. Igot an email from someonehere in town regardinga local man whopassed away named TimKehoe. She told me thatequipment. Thank you,Ryan.When we asked Daveif his venue would workout all he asked was“Will we have a lot offun?” And right he was,this group was thrilled,with ear to ear smilesand lots of dance moves.The parents and youngadults all felt great gratitudefor this singularchance for fun, social interactionand great experience.If Dave hasn’t yet gottenan award for all hedoes for the community,he certainly should.Thanks again Dave.ROY and CYNTHIAMARUBAYASHIand Adult Living Skillsclass membersThanks forsupportingeducationThe Winters EducationFoundation thanksthe businesses that participatedin this year’sAdd-A-Dollar campaign.This year theyraised over $500 morethan last year.Once again, PacificAce Hardware won theGolden Apple award byshe would be sending anobituary for this week’spaper, and asked if Icould include his photo,because I’d taken hispicture not too long agofor the “Who is This?”teaser that’s on the frontpage every week.

I opened it up,and remembered himimmediately.It wasn’t the answersto his questions that Iremembered, but his reactionwhen I asked himto be the person of theweek. Usually, I have tobeg, threaten andstrong-arm people whowander unknowinglyinto the office on Tuesdaymorning into lettingme take their picture onthe spot and ask them afew questions. Not Mr.Kehoe. When I informedhim that he wasthe lucky winner of theblank spot on the upperleft corner of the frontpage of the Express, hebeamed.He told me that althoughhe’d lived inWinters for many years,raising the most money.Lorenzo’s Town & CountryMarket came in secondand Winters TrueValue Hardware camein third.

It’s somuch happier to appearin the upper left cornerof page 1 than the upperleft corner of page 2.

That’s onemore reason to say,“God, I love this town.”OPEN GOVERNMENT. I had a conversationwith a subscriber a couple of weeksago and she told me I should watch whichbattles I choose to fight. She thought I waswrong to expose our police department’s accidentaldischarging of weapons inside the policestation. She was the first reader to ever disagreewith one of my columns, so I was reallysurprised by her comments. I told her that makinggovernment transparent, that’s the newcatch phase, was my main job in life. Someonehas to watch out for what our government is upto and report it to the people. Newspapers havefilled that roll since before Benjamin Franklinput the First Amendment into our Constitution.In California we have what is called theRalph M. Brown Act that is supposed to keepgovernment business open for pubic scrutiny.The Winters School Board is feeling the wrathof people who believe they weren’t completelyopen when they didn’t renew George Griffin’scontract. Many believe that they didn’t followthe rules; specifically they believe that theboard violated the Brown Act. If they didn’tbreak the law, they bent it over backwards.Last week the school board had their attorneygive a workshop on the Ralph M. Brown Actand I thought I would listen in. It was a casualworkshop as board members and audiencemembers asked questions to the attorney. Almostall of the candidates for school boardwere in attendance. Dan Maguire and a coupleof sitting board members were absent. RobynRominger was tardy, which I’m sure will showup on her report card.James Yarnell, the attorney, had copies of theBrown Act and the California Education Codeavailable for everyone. He had a Power Pointpresentation that went over what he thoughtwere important issues that the board shouldknow. When the question of board membersmeeting outside their official duties, like on vacationor at social events, came up, Yarnell toldthe board that they should avoid gathering as agroup. “You should avoid the perception of violatingthe act.” When Diane Beaton askedabout 3 board members going on vacation together,he said that was fine. When asked if 4board members were to go on vacation, he responded,“someone has to leave, you can’t havea quorum of the board on the same vacation.”He talked about serial meetings where eithera board member or an employee of the districtcalls, emails or talks to each member in advanceto see what they think of an issue. He saidthat one on one is okay, but there can be no exchangeof information about how the otherboard members feel. He added that there is nocase law on whether all emails are public. Herecommended to the board that they not useprivate emails for school district business andyou can’t use intermediaries to transfer knowledgeto other board members.When Board Member Matt Brickey broughtup the subject of responding to public commentsthat weren’t on the agenda, Jarnell saidit was okay to respond, or to ask questions forclarification, but it wasn’t okay to open a boarddiscussion. Brickey was told to put it on theagenda if the board wants to talk about it.I got interesting when the subject of closedmeetings came up. When members of the audiencestarted questioning how George wastreated and whether it violated the Brown Act,Jarnell literally call time-out, hand signal andall. He said he wanted to keep the conversationto the Brown Act and not past actions.When the audience asked about suing theboard for Brown Act violations. Jarnell toldthem the Education Code spells out employeenegotiations and that only the affected partycould take them to court with time lines. Headded that the court remedy was usually to askthe board to fix their procedures or the courtcould “cause their action to be null and void.”“After closed session, the board must reconvenein open session (prior to adjournment)and report any action taken in closed session,including the vote or abstention of every memberpresent. The reports may be made eitherorally or in writing.When Rodney Orosco asked what would happenif the board had violated the Brown Act,Jarnell responded by saying that the boardcouldn’t determine that they had violated theBrown Act, they would have to seek legal council.There was a lot to be learned at the workshopand I can’t cover over two hours of slide showsin this space, but I think you get the idea. I hopethe present board and future board memberswere paying attention.Have a good week.Policy for Letters to the EditorThe deadline for Lettersto the Editor is noon onMondays for publicationthat week.Letters may be mailedor hand-delivered to TheWinters Express, 312 RailroadAvenue, Winters, CA95694, or emailed tonews@wintersexpresscom.Letters should not exceed500 words.

Any size donationis appreciated.Thank you for helpingme be successful withmy project.KATE CLARKPlain EnglishI read with interestabout how test scores atthe local middle schoolhad improved whencompared with “comparableschools” but hadto stop when I read that“only one subgroup,Hispanic/Latino, missedthe growth target forEnglish language arts.”Isn’t that group about 49percent of the students?Like the line from “MyFair Lady,” why can’tthe English teach theirchildren how to speak?KATHY MEDINAPOLKINGHORNThe last word and the bottom line(Editor’s note: This is thesecond part of MargarentBurns’ column about her experiencewith breast cancer.The first half ran on lastweek’s Features page. Octoberis Breast Cancer AwarenessMonth.)In a previous column, Iput forth the propositionthat the metaphor of canceras a battle was not useful.I challenged you tofind a better metaphor.This may be it.You endure cancer.Think about these usesof the word (all definitionsin quotes are from theAmerican Heritage Dictionary):Once you hear the possibilityof cancer raised, as Idid, by Dr. Eric Mitchel aftera routine mammogram,you endure the uncertainty,waiting for appointments,a new, highresolutionmammogram.It had happened before,so I was not exactly worried,but not exactly atease.Once definitive canceris diagnosed, you endurethe treatments; you “carryon through, despite hardships:”the lack of energy,the low white blood cellcounts, the hair loss, theconstant clinic visits, theworry about the future,the worry about your family,the worry about painand nausea.For months, you “bearwith tolerance, put upwith” all of the above.And you work on puttingyourself in a good psychicspace – “It is what is is, “ asDouglas Lurie, M.D., toldme. Appreciating yourself,your friends, family,neighbors, your dog nuzzlingto go for a walk, a softbreeze.You endure. You “continuein existence, you remain,you last, like buildingsthat endure for centuries.”You are still here.A monument.For those who like actionmetaphors – cancer isan endurance race. Youare running long enoughto outlast the ability ofyour cells to do somethingyou do not want them todo.Cancer itself is neverover. It, too, endures. I amnow at a greater risk of recurrence(15%, in thesame or other breast); oflymphedema in the operatedarm (about 15%); oflymphoma of the skin (2 to4 %) due to the combinedradiation and chemotherapytreatment. Cancer isnow a chronic, enduringpossibility of my futurelife. It is a statistical probability.The great problem withstatistical probabilities isthat they say nothingabout the individual.They are fine for populationsof cities or tosses ofcoins, but they do not tellwhat will happen to me,Maggie S. Burns living in-Winters, California in Octoberof 2010. If there were100 of me, 15 of us wouldhave another breast cancer.But we could neverpredict which 15.I endured cancer, and Iam now, presumably, cancerfree. As Jeffrey Suplica,M.D., said, “Now wecan reestablish the baseline.”What does my mammogramlook like now, especiallyin the operatedbreast? We'll find out onNovember 11, 2010, a yearto the day of the lumpectomyoperation, and the firstdate that I could possiblyhave a mammogram (6months after the end of radiationtreatment is required).I feel wonderful.I have energy.During the months fromFebruary through June, Ihad no idea that I wasphysically low. The nursesalways asked if I wastired. I wasn't tired, perse. I wasn't doing much ofanything, since I had sciatica,in addition to thechemotherapy, and I waspretty immobile. But Icould do whatever I wantedto do. What I didn'tknow was that I didn'twant to do very much. Iwas fine reading, watchingsome stupid television,and maybe makingdinner or doing a laundry.Sleep didn't refresh me.I didn't wake up raring togo (not that I do anyway).One day was a continuationof the next.The only way I can conceptualizeit is thatchemotherapy knocks outour body's mitochondria.These little organelles existin every one of ourcells. They are our engines,our power plants.They manufacture ATP,the chemical that makesour muscles run, our eyessee light, and turns theoxygen we breathe intoenergy we use to move orto think. Mitochondriahave their own DNA, inheritedonly from ourmothers, so whenchemotherapy screws updividing cells, it must affectthe operations ofthese little dynamos insideevery cell of our body.Maybe during chemothere are fewer minisculepower plants producingenergy. So you don't feellike doing so much, but ifyou are not terribly sick,as I wasn't, you just feellow key. As Alborz Alali,M.D., said, “It was harderthan you knew.”In one sense, it was kindof nice. All I had to do wastake care of myself, first.The Main Man, Roy, wasalso affected by sleep thatdid not refresh. That tellsyou something about theconnection of the psycheand the soma.What is my bottom line?The physical residue ofthis eight and a halfmonth saga is a) an intactright breast that is noticeablyperkier than the leftone, but not enough to getme into a wet T-shirt contestany time soon; b)slight numbness in thebackside of my right upperarm and armpit,rarely noticeable; c) a newhairdo and color – very,See BURNS on page A-9

Winters (CA) Express, Thursday, October 21, 2010 — B-1SportsWarriors let theHuskies get away◆ Lucero rushes for171 yardsBy ERIC LUCEROExpress sportsThe Winters Warriorsvarsity football teamtried to do something onFriday, Oct. 15, that theyhaven’t done since 1994:beat the Sutter Huskies.After the first half itlooked like things couldgo either way with a 14-7Husky lead. But theHuskies took advantageof field position andturnovers in the fourthquarter and beat theWarriors 35-7.“It was a very frustratinggame,” said coachDaniel Ward. “We wereright there with them inthe first half and scoreda touchdown to tie it butit was called back. Wedefinitely didn’t get anybreaks. I just feel bad forthe kids when thingslike that happen. Rightnow we are gettingready for Orland andthen Gridley. Our goal isto get back to the playoffsand hopefully wecan face Sutter again.”Trailing 14-7 justbefore the half the Warriorsgot into the endzone on a 55 yard touchdownpass from quarterbackShawn Faulk toTony Brever. The ballwas deflected by twoSutter defenders thenfell into Brever’s hands.Brever grabbed the balland out ran the otherdefenders to the endzone for an apparenttouchdown. But the playwas called back to a supposedblock in the backat the line of scrimmage.Unfortunately for theWarriors there is noinstant replay or playchallenges in highschool and the callstood.After a stalematethird quarter theHuskies had some bigbreaks and changedtheir lead from 14-7 to28-7 in just 11 seconds.Sutter scored one moretime at the end of regulationto make it 35-7.The Warriors onlyscore came in the firstquarter when JacobLucero scored from 29yards out. Felipe Hernandezkicked the PATto make it a 7-7 game.Lucero ended the gamewith a season high 171yards on 17 carries and atouchdown. Breverrushed for 40 yards onseven carries. Zach Higginscarried the balleight times for 30 yards.Thomas Boswell had 14yards on four carriesand Faulk had fouryards on three carries.Faulk completed 8 of12 passes for 59 yards,while Higgins completedone of three passesfor 15 yards. Jared Neyled the receiving corewith four receptions for29 yards. Brever caughttwo passes for 19 yards.Higgins caught one for12. Boswell caught onefor nine yards andLucero caught one forfive yards.Fall a good time to access the creekWith the unusualwarm weather thislate in October, thebest fishing is duringthe cooler parts of theday. One thing thatPutah Creek has goingfor it is that it hasareas with a lot of treecover that keep the fish feeding allday. The downside to this is thatthese spots tend to be the hardestto access and toughest to get a cast.With more people fishing thecreek this time of the year, a lot ofthe trails are becoming easier toaccess and making your way to thetough spots are opening up. Makesure to watch out for poison oak,stickly nettle bush and thorn busheswhile out there.I had the opportunity to workwith the Department of Fish andGame this past week doing an electroshock on the creek. Our goalwas to find first-year fish, recordtheir condition and release themback into the water.The data we collected will helptrack how well the fish are reproducingand how well their habitatis surviving. The outcome was positive— we found a lot of first-yearfish.While we were out there, we alsotook notice of the bug life in thewater. There is a lot of food forthese fish, so as long as we can keeptaking steps to protect these fish,we could have a steady fishery forthe future.WHS athletes sell tri-tip to benefit Booster ClubThe athletes at WintersHigh School areraising money for theBooster Club by sellingprepared tri-tip from theBuckhorn.They began sellingroasts Oct. 18 and willcontinue through Nov. 1for pickup on Nov. 18 or19.

B-4 — Winters (CA) Express, Thursday, October 21, 2010Sciatica just onecause of back painDEAR DR. DONOHUE:Our basement flooded,and I was chosen toclean it. All that pushing,lifting and scrubbing dida number on my back. It’sbeen bothering me fortwo weeks. I never had aback problem before,but my dad used to havethem all the time. Hesaid it was sciatica. Ibelieve that’s what Ihave. How can I get rid ofit? — M.J.ANSWER: Don’t jump toconclusions. Sciatica(sigh-AT-ik-ah) is onlyone cause of back pain.The fact that your fatherhad it has little bearingon your having it. Didyour dad arrive at thediagnosis on his own?Many people do. Quiteoften, they’re wrong.The sciatic nerve is alarge nerve formed bythe intermingling ofnerve roots coming fromthe lower segments ofthe spinal cord. It and itsbranches run from thelower back through thebuttock and down the legto the ankle and foot.Pressure on the nerve atany point in its courseirritates it and producesthe pain of sciatica. Themost common causecomes from a protrusionof one of the back’s disks,which presses on thespinal cord rootlets thatcombine to build thenerve.Low-back, buttock andleg pain are the hallmarksof sciatica. Theleg pain is on the back ofthe leg or its outer side.Even though the diagnosisis a bit iffy here, sciatica— and most of theother causes of low-backpain — get better in threeto six weeks. You don’thave to completely rest.Strict bed rest iscontraindicated. Walkaround and perform thenormal activities of dailylife, but don’t lift, push orperform manual labor.Use heat or cold on yourback, whichever you findbenefits you more.Tylenol (acetaminophen)usually controlspain. If it doesn’t,one of the nonsteroidalanti-inflammatory drugs(Aleve, Advil, Motrin)can be tried. An injectionof steroids into theback takes care ofinflammation that addsto the pressure on thenerve. Surgery usuallyisn’t necessary. Thelong-term outlook isgood.If the pain hasn’t goneby four weeks, see a doctor.See the doctorpromptly if pain increasesor you lose control ofyour bladder or bowels.The booklet on backpain provides moreinformation on this commonproblem. To obtaina copy, write: Dr. Donohue— No. 303W, Box536475, Orlando, FL32853-6475. Enclose acheck or money order (nocash) for $4.75 U.S./$6Canada with the recipient’sprinted name andaddress. Please allowfour weeks for delivery.***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Iremember your oncewriting about how a personwith COPD ought tobreathe. My dad was justdiagnosed with COPD,and I would like to passthat information to him.Will you please repeatit? — S.A.ANSWER: That ispursed-lip breathing.The person puckers thelips as though going towhistle or give a kiss.Then he inhales throughhis nose andexhales through thepursed lips. Exhalingshould be more prolongedthan inhaling.This technique keeps theairways opened to allowmore air to get into thelungs and more carbondioxide to get out ofthem.“COPD” stands for“chronic obstructivepulmonary disease”: emphysemaand chronicbronchitis.***Dr. Donohue regrets thathe is unable to answer individualletters, but hewill incorporate them inhis column wheneverpossible. Readers maywrite him or request anorder form of availablehealth newsletters atP.O.

Atfirst, he was luckyenough to get a machined,stainless steel,tin-covered leg. Thenthe chopping continued.He became a radicaltriple amputee. Theout-of-control choppingcontinued until allbut the heart andreproductive organswere replaced.Frankensteinian, hewalked the earth, unrequited,and illequippedto “seal thedeal.” Imagine, L.Frank Baum could havestarted, “One morning,as Nick Chopper waswaking from an anxiousdream, he discoveredthat in his bed hehad changed into amonstrous, impotent,metallic man.” Thatsells him short, andfocuses on the wronglead. The story is aboutthe rusting, the very actof rusting and remission.Tin Man is thearchetype of a specialkind of health problem,one where the bodyattacks itself.The truth about theTin Man is that tin doesn’trust. His joints wereattacked from the inside.Like an out-of-controlimmune system, hisown body turned onhim. When one suffersfrom M.S., lupus or otherimmune complexes,it is as if the WickedWitch has enchantedthe immune system toattack itself. Limbs,joints, eyes, brain,nerves, pain centers,kidneys, liver, heart,lungs, guts, can turn torust. Sometimes a limbloses all feeling. Sometimeswe are fine foryears.The medications canbe as liberating as anew tin leg. A littleclunky, but useful. A littleproblematic, butbetter than nothing.Taking prednisone is alot like being made oftin. Like the Tin Man,one never gets tired.The downside is aplethora of side effects.When one experiencesutter despair anddependence due to illness,especially theexacerbation-remissiontype illnesses of theautoimmune system,the happy times cansoar into mania. Onelongs to feel normalagain. We seek wholenessand celebrate thepain-free times.It is hard for others tograsp the roller coasterride of our disorders.One might be foundcarousing on goldenstreets, or frozen in afield, literally unableto cry. Sometimes, onelooks perfectly fine tothe outside world. Likepolished tin, the surfaceshines, but insidethat wicked curse ischopping away.Immune problemsare like roller coasters— one can swiftly gofrom feeling peachy tofull-blown flare. It’sbest to strap in. It’s bestto ride it out in thehopes of a better day.Attitude, as demonstratedby the Tin Man,is everything.Throughout the Ozstory, the Tin Manalways fights to protectbugs and such fromharm. He even protectsthe life of a butterflyfrom being maimed forthe important castingof a magical spell. Hissuffering, loss and risingagain in tin madehim more protective ofthe fragile balance ofnature. Mr. Chopper isthe friend to all thingsgreat and small. He getsthem.To set the recordstraight on the heartproblem, Oz never gaveanything to the Tin Manbecause he had moreheart than any of them.(Jesse Loren is a poet,editor and editorialistwho lives with lupus, theshadow wolf.)Pleasedto meet youName: Theresa HillemanOccupation: Homemaker,bartender and medicalassistantHobby: KaraokeWhatʼs best about livingin Winters: “You get toknow everybody.

Winters (CA) Express, Thursday, October 21, 2010 —B-5NuestrasNoticiasFinal FelizUn final feliz tuvo elrescate de los minerosla semana pasada, antemás de un millón depersonas que miraronel rescate en vivo portelevisión, esta tragediahabía cautivado a lacomunidad mundialpor más de dos meses.Sin duda que si ustedcomo yo miro elrescate, el rostro y nombrede los mineros ya esparte de nuestrosrecuerdos. Desde lasuperficie, todos cantandoalegremente,con un ritmo que nosrecuerda los cantos deestadio, “vamos, vamosmineros, que estanoche los vamos asacar.”¿Qué aprendemoscomo país y sociedadde esta experiencia? Elaccidente ocurrido elpasado 5 de agosto nosreitera, una vez más, laprecariedad de lascondiciones de trabajoen la industria mineray el costo humano delreciente boom minero.Chile es uno de los mayoresproductores yexportadores de cobredel mundo y la mineríaes uno de los sectoresmás dinámicos y demayor inversión en elpaís. Las empresasmineras pagan excelentessalarios, quizásdentro de los mejoresdel país, pero las condicionesde trabajo y vidason extremadamentesacrificadas.Durante 17 díaslos trabajadores permanecieronincomunicados.El 23 de agosto,una sonda logró establecercontacto conlos mineros atrapados yel mensaje recibidopor el propio presidentede la repúblicaconfirmaba: “Estamosbien en el refugio. Los33.” Ese mismo díacomenzaron las complejaslabores derescate que incluíanremover más de 4,000toneladas de roca ymantener física yanímicamente establesa los trabajadores atrapados.Durante las casiocho semanas queduraron las labores deperforación, se envióregularmente alimentos,medicamentos,cámaras, revistas ypelículas a través deuna sonda. Con videoconferencias,losmineros atrapados secomunicaron diariamentecon sus familiares,quienes se establecieronen un campamentoprovisional alas afuera de la mina,intentando mantenerla calma y el ánimo.Por su parte laempresa ha sido la granausente y a comienzosde septiembre se declaróen quiebra dejandoabandonados nosólo a los “33” sino tambiéna los 180 trabajadoresque trabajabanen la mina San José. Lamisma noche quecomenzaron las laboresdel rescate, ungrupo de trabajadoresde la mina San José sereunió en la cercanaciudad de Copiapó.Y bajo un lienzo queleía sugerentemente:“Chile: ¡FuerzaMinero! Ahora a lucharpor tus derechos”,protestaron el atrasoen el pago del desahucioacordado con laempresa.Las condiciones en lamina San José no soninusuales y demuestranlas contradiccionesde un modelo dedesarrollo que ha otorgadoamplios beneficiosal sector empresarial.Tal como lo handeclarado los propiosdirigentes de los sindicatosde la minería,este hecho ha confirmadola imperiosanecesidad de que el Estadoy los organismospúblicos fiscalicen estrictamentelas condicionesde seguridad deltrabajo minero. El gobiernoha declarado quela “gran riqueza deChile no es el cobre, sonlos mineros”, esperemosahora que juntocon rescatar a los 33mineros, no se olvide laresponsabilidad deproteger la vida yrespetar los derechoslaborales de este importantey sacrificadogrupo de trabajadores.Mirando en vivo, elrescate de los 33mineros chilenos amediados de octubrede 2010, podemos decirque este hecho representaque todavía haygente buena en estemundo, y que va en contrade aquellas personasque se han propuestoque vivamos uninfierno. Mil millonesde televidentes presenciaronla salida a lasuperficie de FlorencioAvalos, el primerode los trabajadores dela mina San José, en lalejana región chilenade Atacama, que subióa tierra firme. Esa cantidadde televidentessuperó a la de la finalde la Copa del Mundo2010 en Sudáfrica,entre España y Holanda.Aquel gran partidoen el que el equipoibérico ganó la copa,fue visto por casi 800millones de personasapostadas detrás de susaparatos de televisión.Al principio, penséque tanta gente interesadaen conocer losdetalles del rescate delos mineros, podría serun hecho motivado porsimple curiosidad, talvez una curiosidad matizadapor el morbo. Alfinal de la jornada,comprendí que esa noera la razón por la quemillones de sereshumanos habían permanecidoen vilo,durante la operación.Hablé con muchas personasen los días siguientes,y un númerogrande confesó quehabía llorado al versalir de las entrañas dela tierra no sólo a Avalos,sino a muchos otrosmineros. La genteexperimentó una simpatíafuera de serie porel rescatista ManuelGonzález, de 43 años, elprimero en entrar a lamina para reunirse conlos mineros y el últimohombre en salir. Estamoshablando de televidentesno chilenos,latinos de nacionalidadesdiversas que vivenen Estados Unidos.Los chilenos, porsupuesto, pusieron lanota emotiva más alta.Sus rostros tomadospor las cámaras de lasmás grandes cadenasinternacionales, reflejabanel miedo, la incertidumbrey la esperanzacasi en cada salidaa la superficie de suscompatriotas mineros,que habían permanecidoen las entrañas de latierra durante 70 días.La humanidad tuvomomentos similares enel pasado. El 11 de septiembrede 2001, cuandoun grupo de radicalesislámicos utilizóaviones comercialescomo misiles para destruirlas Torres Gemelasde Nueva York y elPentágono en Washington,Estados Unidosdisfrutó de altos nivelesde solidaridad. Enuna enorme cantidadde ciudades se hicieronvigilias y se rezó por losmuertos. En 2004, el terremotoy posteriortsunami en el OcéanoIndico, que sacudió aIndonesia, Sri Lanka,India y Tailandia consaldo de 230 mil muertos,también estremecióal mundo. Los terremotosde este año 2010en Haití y el propioChile, provocaronigualmente reaccioneshumanitarias degrandes proporciones.La moraleja de estosacontecimientos es absolutamenteclara: enel mundo hay mucha,pero mucha más gentebuena que mala. Sóloque los malos sabenhacer mucho daño, ymucho ruido.Lenguas en internetAhora el idioma elespañol es la terceralengua más usada en lared y cuenta con 136millones de usuarios,lo que representa el 8%del total de internautasen el mundo, pordetrás del inglés y delchino. El español ocupala segunda posicióncomo lengua de comunicacióninternacionalpor número dehablantes,” ya que soncasi 500 millones laspersonas que hablan elidioma en 21 países.El español es lasegunda lengua multinacional,después delinglés, por eso el crecienteinterés en diferentespaíses, como losnórdicos o los deEuropa del Este deaprender el españolcomo segunda lengua,después del inglés.Pero también que elespañol empieza a ser“un producto culturalmuy apreciado en lassegundas y tercerasgeneraciones de hispanosbien formados yque tienen a gala conservarel idioma.”Según ese informe,los internautas latinosen Estados Unidos sonuna de las poblaciones“online” más activas, ysegún esos datos, el 47%de sus usuarios consumemás de una horade navegación al día,frente a tan sólo el 44%que dedica una hora omás a ver la televisión.“Esa situación estárelacionada posiblementecon que buenaparte de los hispanosde EEUU tiene ya unnivel de educación másaceptable, además dela tendencia a conservarel idioma.Además de cuantificarsu presencia,“El español en la red”aborda también lasconsecuencias que internettiene sobre lavida de las lenguas,las características yestadísticas más importantesde la red enlos países de lenguahispana y la situaciónde la prensa electrónicaen español. Elinforme señala que loshispanohablantes constituyenel tercergrupo lingüístico entrelos usuarios de internet,con un 8% del total,por detrás de los usuariosen inglés (38%) y enchino (22%).El inglés es la lenguacon más presencia enla red, con cerca de1.000 millones de páginas,seguido por el chino,con más de 800 millonesde páginas.Argentina, Chile yEspaña son los paísesde habla hispana quepresentan porcentajesde conexión superioresal 50% de lapoblación, siendo en elcaso español del 70%,según ese estudio. Encuanto a México, con el27,4% de la poblaciónconectada, el documentoindica que tieneun peso cuantitativobastante alto, conmás de 27 millonesde usuarios. Colombia,Costa Rica, la poblaciónhispana de EstadosUnidos, RepúblicaDominicana y Uruguaymantienen tasas deconexión superiores al30%.En la actualidadexisten 339 millonesde servidores en losdominios nacionalesen los países que sehabla español, asícomo 78 millones dedirecciones IP (el2,58% del volumenmundial) y 6.2 millonesde dominios, segúnse desprende del documento.Asimismoseñala que la presenciade la prensa digitalen español se ha duplicadoen diez años hastaregistrar 850 diarios en2009, siendo México,España y Argentina lospaíses donde se ha producidoun mayor incrementode cabecerasdigitales.Mes del cáncer de senoEl cáncer de seno cuesta la vidaa unas 45.000 mujeres cada año enEE.UU, cifra que puede reducirsee incluso salvar vidas con sólorealizarse una mamografía a partirde los 40 años, “Detectar uncáncer temprano puede curarlo yla mamografía es la mejor herramientapara salvar la vida a unamujer”, afirmó Böhm-Vélez, portavozde la campaña, “Rostros dela salud,” dirigida a la comunidadhispana. Destacó que menos del40 por ciento de las latinas enEE.UU. acuden por una mamografíacada año como debe deocurrir a partir de los 40 años.DeacuerdoconlaAsociacióndelCáncer, ésta es la principal causade muerte entre las mujeres hispanas,quienes también tienenmayoresprobabilidadesderecibirun diagnóstico cuando la enfermedadestá en estado avanzado, locual lo hace más difícilde tratar. Elcáncer de seno es un tumor maligno(canceroso)queseoriginadelascélulasdelsenoyocurreprincipalenteen las mujeres, pero loshombres también pueden desarrollarla enfermedad. No obstante,resulta 100 veces más común entrelas mujeres y la incidencia aumentacon la edad.En Estados Unidos, los cálculosmás recientes de la SociedadAmericana del Cáncer en cuantoal cáncer de seno para 2010 indicanque hay alrededor de 207.090casos nuevos de cáncer invasivode seno y que dos de cada tres mujerestenía 55 años o más cuandose les diagnosticó la enfermedad.Los datos también revelan quehay alrededor de 54.010 nuevos casos“no invasivo,” que es la formamás temprana de cáncer de seno.La probabilidad de que unamujer desarrolle cáncer invasivode seno durante su vida es unpoco menos de una de cada ocho yla probabilidad de morir es deaproximadamente una en cada 35mujeres. Böhm-Vélez, recordóque cuando se descubre tardíamentelleva a que la cirugía “seamás invasiva, más traumática, podríanecesitar quimioterapia ymuchas no van a sobrevivir.”Lástima que las mujeres latinasno acuden periódicamente a realizarseuna mamografía, lo queatribuyen a problemas con el idioma,desconocimiento de losriesgos y la falta de informaciónen español. En la actualidad, haymás de dos millones y medio desobrevivientes de cáncer de senoen Estados Unidos.Destacó que para ayudar a lalatina se ha lanzado la campañaen la web en español “www.retratosdesalud.com,” donde hayinformación sobre las mamografíasy centros de salud queatienden en español. También encontraránlas historias inspiradorasde mujeres que han queridocompartir su experiencia con laenfermedad. “La mayoría de lasmujeres que tiene cáncer demama es porque no se ha realizadoel estudio. El cáncer entre los40 a 50 es a veces más agresivo, porlo que no hay que esperar a encontrarseuna masa para acudir almedico.”
