Amanece. El canto de los pájaros saluda al nuevo día. Empieza la actividad en la cocina, mezclándose la fruta y el agua, la risa y la música, los huevos y el pan.

Las enfermeras y ayudantes se dedican a levantarnos, nos asean, visten y peinan. Para ser llevados al comedor.

Good Morning ! Good Morning ! Buenos Días ! mientras vamos tomando nuestro lugar alrededor de la mesa para compartir el desayuno. Algunos también intercambiamos miradas y sonrisas.

Una pequeña siesta nos prepara para las actividades de media mañana: jugando cartas,

Un Día en Casa Nostrarompecabezas, lotería y algunos ejercicios musculares .

Si es martes, un doctor nos visita y se interesa por saber como estamos, examinándonos y haciéndonos preguntas. Pero hoy no es martes.

Algunos vamos de paseo al malecón de Chapala, disfrutamos de un rico helado pues ya hace calor, la brisa que viene del lago nos refresca y le da textura y movimiento a la superficie. La gente y el bullicio nos entretienen mientras es tiempo de regresar, pues la comida nos espera.

Casi todos nos reunimos a esta hora, pues es la comida fuerte. Después del postre nos retiramos a otra siesta.

Mas tarde, nos reunimos en la sala para ver tele, unos caminan por el jardín y alrededor de la casa, otros prefieren leer o quedarse en su cuarto.

La cena se sirve poco antes de oscurecer, aunque algunos prefieren cenar en su cuarto, otros preferimos reunirnos en el comedor.

Después nos retiramos a nuestra habitación, a mi me gusta ver tele y a veces leer un poco hasta quedarme dormida.

En ocasiones me doy cuenta de las visitas de las enfermeras, en otras despierto con la llegada del nuevo día, porque sé que hay ojos que velan mi descanso.

A Day In Casa NostraBy Antonio CárdenasTranslated by Thomas L. Ramsey Dawn. The song of the birds salutes the new

day. Activity in the kitchen begins, mixing the fruit and the water, the music, the laughter, the eggs and the bread.

The nurses and assistants come to get us up and clean us up, dressing us and combing our hair. To take us to the dining room.

Good Morning! Good Morning! Buenos Dias! While we go about taking our places around the table to share breakfast. Some of us interchange glances and smiles as well.

A small nap prepares for the activities of mid-morning: playing cards, puzzles, the lottery and some physical exercises.

If it is Tuesday a doctor visits us and is interested in knowing how we are, examining us and asking us questions. But today is not Tuesday.

Some of us go for a walk along the malecon in Chapala, enjoying the good ice cream that is already beginning to melt, the breeze that comes from the lake refreshes and gives texture and movement to the surface of the water. The people and the bustling entertains while it is time to return as dinner is waiting for us.

Almost everyone returns at this time for dinner. After dinner we retire for another nap.

Later we reunite in the living room to watch television, some walk in the garden

and around the house, others prefer to read or stay in their rooms.

Supper is served a little before dark. Although some prefer supper in their rooms others prefer to return to the dining room.

After we retire to our rooms I like to watch television and at times read a little until I fall asleep.

On occasions I become aware of the visits by the nurses, others wake up at the arrival of the new day, because I know there are eyes watching over my rest.

Jamaica ,West Indies is an island country, located in the Caribbean Sea right underneath Cuba and the west of Haiti. It is one of the most beautiful islands in the world. It was founded by the Arawak/Taino who lived there until Christopher Columbus stumbled upon it in 1494. Jamaica means “ land of wood and water “in Arawakan. First the Spanish, then later English invaded through pirate ships the island and brought captured Africans as slaves. By 1570, majority of the population were from Africa.

Many of the African slaves revolted by burning down the plantations and escaping to the Blue Mountains or caves up in the hills. They were called Maroons. One of the Jamaican national heroes is Nanny of the Maroons, who escaped and helped other Africans escape slavery to the Blue Mountains overlooking Port Antonio, Jamaica. She established a village, called Nanny town, and conducted war revolts against Slave Plantation owners and the British. She was so fierce that the British ended up granting her a treaty, allocating land for the Maroons. The history of slavery in Jamaica was brutal.

A recent movie, “Belle” recounts the horrors of slavery when the crew of a British slave ship called the Zong, murdered over 200 slaves by shoving them overboard off the coast of Jamaica. The owner and captain of the Zong claimed insurance for lost “cargo” for the death of the slaves. In the case of Gregory v. Glbert, the English Supreme Court ruled the owner could not collect insurance due to his misdeeds in the massacre. At Black River, Jamaica, there is a plaque commemorating the murdered Africans who were thrown overboard on the Zong. The Zong massacre spurred the abolition of slavery in England. In 1833 the British government finally abolished slavery. In 1838 emancipation from slavery was enacted in Jamaica.

World renowned leaders have come from Jamaica. Some of these leaders include Marcus Garvey (writer, orator, lecturer, leader of Black Pride Movement), Boukman, (inspired , the Haitian Revolution), and

JAMAICA

by Atty. DaphneBarbee-Wooten

Claude McKay,(Author and leader of Harlem Renascence).Jamaica gained its independence from England on August 6, 1962.

Haile Sellaise I, Emperor of Ethiopia came to Jamaica in April 1962. Emperor Sellaise is worshiped by Rastafarians as the King of all Kings ,God of all Gods because Ethiopia was one of the few African countries which was never conquered by European colonialists. Although Jamaica is independent, it is part of the Commonwealth. Jamaica’s present Prime Minister is Portia Simpson- Miller.

Jamaica is known for its excellent coffee from the blue mountains, sugarcane,spices, music, beautiful beaches, unique colorful birds, ackee and salt fish, jerk roasted food and dance. At one time the island had crocodiles. The Jamaica coat of arms and flag has the motto “ out of one many people” with a crocodile on top of the crown. Jamaican people are very diverse. There are Rastafarians, who worship Jah Rastafari, also known as Haile Selaise I, Christians and Muslims, agnostics and others. There is a mixture of African, Chinese, Lebanese, Spanish, Italian, British and Canadian people living side by side.

Jamaica has some of the best world class athletic runners such as Usain Bolt and Shelly Anne Frazier-Price. Both earned gold medals and world record times in the Olympics.

Many writers lived in Jamaica including Ian Fleming, author of James Bond 007 series, Noel Coward, Louise Bennett, Evan Jones and Mutabaruka. Jamaican people are freedom fighters and freedom lovers. The culture of Jamaica has inspired DJ rap (toasting),ska, rock steady, reggae, and dance hall. World renowned musicians , such as Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, Dennis Brown, Toots and the Maytalls, Yellow Man inspire many of the younger artists today. Jamaica is one of the most beautiful island in the World. The people are wise, caring, creative and inspiring. The only negative is that it does have a few hurricanes and earthquakes but most of the people survive natural catastrophe and it makes them stronger.

Vegetarians are1. Physically weaker than meat eaters If we

look in nature, we will find that most of the beasts of burden, as well as the strongest animals in the jungle, forest, and on the farm, live on a vegetarian diet. The elephant, gorilla, cow, ox, horse, mule, camel, and bull all subsist on a diet of fruit, grasses, alfalfa, hay, oats, and corn. There is nothing inherent within a vegetarian diet that is going to make you weaker than when you are eating meat. However, a calorie/nutrient-deficient diet will make you

weaker. An increase in fruit, wholegrain, and vegetable fiber may also produce a laxative effect, which would also cause temporary weakness in some. Think if you will about the following: The carnivorous animal depends upon the flesh of an herbivore for its primary nutritional needs. The meat that carnivores eat is not derived from other carnivores. The meat that they depend upon for existence is derived from a vegetarian diet. The first parts of the animal that the carnivore eats are the stomach and other internal organs, which contain vegetable matter as well as flesh. It should be noted that the predatory carnivore always goes for the slowest and weakest members of the herd.

2. Deficient in key nutrients Any person who eats an inadequate amount of calories is going to be thin. The thin and sickly appearance of vegetarians is probably due to their unhealthy exclusive diet. The average vegetarian, however, is neither weak nor sickly. New Jump Swing Healthy Aging and Athletic Nutrition Program 39 And if I’m not mistaken, millions of dollars are being spent every year by people with the goal of losing weight so that they can look thin! Vegetarians who restrict their food intake and limit the types of foods they eat do so because of their philosophy, which may or may not be based on sound nutritional principles. Possible deficiencies in zinc, iron, vitamin B12, protein, calcium and essential fatty acids and can develop a result of an unhealthy vegetarian diet. Zinc

Most infants (especially those who are formula fed), children, and adults in the United States consume recommended amounts of zinc, according to two national surveys, the 1988-1991 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) and the 1994 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII). However, some evidence suggests that zinc intakes among older adults might be marginal. An analysis of NHANES III data found that 35% to 45% of adults aged sixty years or older had zinc intakes below the estimated average requirement of 6.8 mg/day for elderly females and 9.4 mg/day for elderly males. When the investigators considered intakes from both food and dietary supplements, they found that 20% to 25% of older adults still had inadequate zinc intakes. But they’re not vegetarians!

IronAccording to the American Society of Hematology, iron deficiency

is very common, especially among women and in people who have a diet that is low in iron. According to the society, the following groups of people are at the highest risk for iron-deficiency anemia:

1. Women who menstruate, particularly if menstrual periods are heavy

Misconceptions about Being a VegetarianFrom the book New Jump Swing Healthy Aging and Athletic Nutrition Program

by Donald “Spiderman” Thomas2. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding or those who have

recently given birth3. People who have undergone major surgery or physical trauma4. People with gastrointestinal diseases like celiac disease (sprue) or

inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease5. People with peptic ulcer disease

6. People who have undergone bariatric procedures, especially gastric bypass operations

7. Vegetarians, vegans, and other people whose diets do not include iron-rich foods

8. Children who drink more than 16-24 oz. a day of cow’s milk (cow’s milk not only contains little iron, but it can also decrease absorption of iron and irritate the intestinal lining causing chronic blood loss) “Iron deficiency remains common in the United States,” said Dr. Frank Greer, former chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Committee on Nutrition and coauthor of a 2010 clinical report. “And now we know more about the long-term, irreversible effects it can have on children’s cognitive and behavioral development. It’s critical to children’s health that we improve their iron status starting in infancy.”

The Belle character is a mixed race Beauty named Dido Elizabeth Belle the movie comes from a true story she is the daughter of a Royal Navy Admiral. She was

Raised by her aristocratic great uncle Lord Mansfield and his wife.

A belle lineage affords her many privi-leges yet thee color of her skin prevents her from fully participating in traditional activities befitting her social standing.

She falls in love with an idealistic young Vicars son bent on changing any negative at-titudes surrounding Belle.

Gugu grew up in the town of Witney. She attended the Henry Box School before mov-ing to London for drama training. She has been performing since 2004.She has been nominated for best actress during her tenure as a film, theatre and television actress and rising star.

Even though I’m among the countless fans who very strongly dislike the New York Yankees, I have to take this opportunity to talk about the positive sides of their retiring captain, Derek Jeter. He has been an imperfect player, just as all players, even stars, are. But just because he hasn’t been a perfect player, that doesn’t mean he is unworthy of the Hall of Fame or unworthy of our admiration and respect for his performance on the field and for his character. One could say that for a Yankee-hater, it’s time to give the Devil his due.

Over the years, Jeter has consistently pounded out hit after hit. Yes, other shortstops have outdone him for power (not that I expect power

A Solute To The Captain

Derek Jeter makes his patented jump throw from the hole.by Peter Greenhill

from a shortstop, having been brought up in the 1960’s), but his hit totals are impressive, 3,413 as I write this, ninth all-time and more than legends like Willie Mays, Nap Lajoie, and George Brett. Even his career WAR stats stack up well with shortstops already in the Hall of Fame, which surprised me. One of the most common ways of telling if a player is overrated is to look away from traditional stats like batting average, home runs, and RBI’s and looking toward on-base percentage, slugging percentage, and WAR (defensively, one can look at UZR or similar statistics).

Continue on next page

Mahogany/Latin Hawaii/Sports Hawaii — August, 2014 – Page 15

For many years, Jeter was overrated defensively. He often was selected to receive a Gold Glove when his defensive skills, both qualitatively and quantitatively, just didn’t measure up; as is often the case with Gold Gloves, his went to the best offensive players at his position, which was him, by traditional metrics. It was a streak of propaganda, to be quite frank. Playing in the nation’s largest media market didn’t hurt. Better players, especially on defense, were ignored when it came time for the Golden Glove. Jeter was average at best. Though he had a rough time defensively, he did produce a great many hits, topping 200 in eight different seasons and twice leading the league. His lifetime batting average is .311, higher than Hall of Famers like Hank Aaron, and his OBP is a solid .379. The criticism of his fielding was mostly about his range, which was not as wide as most other shortstops.

Often the argument in favor of Jeter’s on-field value says that he excels at what are commonly know as intangibles. For one thing, he is a great leader, composed, smart, dedicated, unselfish. Whether he makes the big play as often as people assume, an assumption they especially make because of the excessive New York media coverage to that effect, would need to be confirmed, but one quality attributed to him that statistics support is playing well in the post-season. His career post-season batting average is .308, and he has hit 20 home runs in just 650 at bats, while also stealing 61 bases. His average is even higher in the World Series at .321.

Another sense in which statistics don’t tell the true story about Jeter is the sense relating to overall character. No matter what, Jeter is polite and patient with the media, and he has done tremendous things to provide the thrills of a lifetime for sick children or special fans who dream only of meeting him. This you can easily see by googling such things on the web. He is kind to others, even rookies on other teams, he has never been in any kind of off-field trouble (in twenty years in the biggest, most active city in America). His interviews show humility and show respect for his individual and collective opponents. Considering how rare it is nowadays to find even two of these qualities in the same ballplayer, Jeter deserves our constant support and praise. One way to put it is that he is the perfect role model.

Baseball and its followers will miss Jeter once he retires at the end of this season. Wherever he has gone so far this season, he has been honored, deservedly so. His opponents respect him for his conduct and for his respect for the game. He sets a great example. Whatever he does after retiring, I’m sure it will continue. We salute Derek Jeter.

Jeter in the midst of completing a double play. Derek Jeter delivers yet another hit.
