Breast cancer awareness month….my hat goes off

dedicate this editorial to my mother who had breast cancer and was saved by the “League against Cancer” an organization of 350 Florida physicians, who volunteer their services in this fight to save lives. I ho pe this editorial will enlighten and motivate women of all ages to take early preventative measures and for those of you who can, donate time and money to the fight to find a cure for this disease. My hat goes off to all the people involved in creating and maintaining Breast Cancer Awareness Month not only alive in October, but throughout the whole year. Any women from any country should give serious attention to breast cancer. Unfortunately, it is not the standard in many countries to check women under 40. And there is not enough emphasis placed on things that we put into our bodies such as hormones, cigarettes, alcohol and non-organic products that are loaded with too many growth hormones (especially chicken) that can literally kill us. Stress has also been linked to cancer. Well, the alarming facts show that last year, in the U.S. alone, there were more than 250,000 women who were diagnosed with breast cancer, and about 40,000 died from this disease. Women under 40 years of age were diagnosed 1 in 229, and worst of all, mostly with the more aggressive type of malignant cancer. Pretty darn alarming? Obviously no woman wants to think about this, but you can prevent and fight this disease thru education and preventative healthcare. For young women especially, by the time a lump in a younger woman’s breast can be felt the cancer often is advanced and aggressive. Generally speaking, early breast cancer does not cause pain. Many women assume they are too young to get it and tend to assume a lump is a harmless cyst or other growth. Some doctors dismiss breast lumps in young

women as cysts and adopt a “wait and see” approach. Screening mammograms should be done on younger women with a family history of breast cancer and other risk factors. Annual clinical breast exams should be performed for all women beginning as early as age 20. If your mammogram shows calcifications, try to get an ultra sound, or a biopsy especially with dense breasts. A word of advice, ask for that biopsy, they need tissue to confirm as it can go unnoticed and ultimately advance to a critical stage as in the case of actress Farah Fawcett. Today we can thank many organizations such as, The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) which partners with national public service organizations, professional medical associations, and government agencies to promote breast cancer awareness, and provide screening services for those that can’t afford it. They have helped save many lives every year. The millions of dollars donated for research and science has now brought a lot of hope to those cancer cases that were hopeless. Thanks also to every celebrity who has raised their voice to increase breast cancer awareness and generate millions of dollars for free mammograms and as a result saved the lives of our loved ones. In recent years, more than 100 music celebrities have supported NBCF by contributing autographed memorabilia, recording public service announcements and helping to promote events. There are also a lot of websites devoted to information on proper nutrition and staying cancer free such as: http://www.askdrsears.com/html/4/t040300.asp. I have a wealth of information I can offer women. If you would like more information on this subject, please send your queries to Nancyholacaribe@gmail.com.

Por bolsas na maravilla la bolsa plástica. Conveniente, gratis y siempre allí. Con razón circulan anualmente más de 500 mil millones de bolsas en el planeta. ¿El problema? apenas 2% terminan siendo recicladas. En el mejor de los casos, la bolsa plástica del automercado se reutiliza en la cesta del baño antes de parar en el basurero, donde le tomará más de 180 años descomponerse en pequeñas partículas que jamás desaparecerán. Con frecuencia el destino final son los ríos y mares. Sin duda es el producto humano de mayor ubiquidad en el planeta. Y también uno de los más contaminantes. En Ciudad de México entró en vigencia esta semana una ley que obliga a los establecimientos a cobrarle a los clientes por las bolsas, y estas deberán ser biodegradables. Al igual que en otros países de Europa, se acabaron las bolsas plásticas gratis en supermercados y abastos. La idea es reducir los desechos sólidos y promover el uso de plásticos verdes. La ciudad de San Francisco maneja una propuesta más agresiva: prohibir las bolsas plásticas, regular el uso de bolsas de papel y promover las bolsas reutilizables. Irlanda cobra un impuesto de 33 cts. al uso de bolsas plásticas y desde el 2002 el consumo se ha reducido en un 90%. Las

bolsas plásticas son un problema serio. A comienzos de los 90 mi esposa viajó a Yemén, donde recién se habían popularizado. Tapizando las calles de tierra corría un río multicolor. Eran las bolsas que la gente lanzaba al suelo sin pensar; un fenómeno similar al ocurrido en India con la llegada del vaso desechable: acostumbrados a vasijas de barro, los indios toman chai en un vaso plástico, y como es costumbre, lo lanzan al piso. Imagine la postal, con vaca incluida. ¿Hay que acabar con las bolsas plásticas? Probablemente. El reciclaje se ha promocionado mucho, pero resulta poco eficiente y controversial. Las bioplásticos son la alternativa más prometedora, pero sus ventajas son cuestionadas en términos del manejo, degradación y costos. Las bolsas de papel lucen más naturales pero requieren más energía en su producción. La verdad, no hay salida fácil. La bolsita en cuestión guarda un reto complicado que involucra la conveniencia, sentido económico, sostenibilidad y tecnología. Pero algo está claro: el uso que le damos es una basura. Por ello llevo en mi carro bolsas reutilizables para las compras. Para decirle al cajero “gracias, pero no necesito mas bolsas plásticas”

Aruba Gana La Serie Mundial De La Liga Infantil De Baseball

Bienvenidos a Casa Campeones!! Aruba wins the Senior League World Series

Welcome Home World Champions!

By: Rosalie klein

ue un sueño hecho realidad para los 14 jóvenes atletas y sus entrenadores que viajaron a Bangor, Maine con otros Diez equipos de todas partes del mundo para competir en la serie mundial infantil que es la división más vieja de la liga internacional de menores, jóvenes de 14 a 16 años. Este año Aruba fue el anfitrión del campeonato Latino Americano un mes antes y los Caribeños llenaron el estadio de Santa Cruz y festejaron la victoria de su equipo que gano el titulo. Este fue el segundo ano consecutivo que los jugadores jóvenes de Aruba han recibido el honor de representar a la región en el Estadio Shawn T. Mansfield en Bangor. El Primer Ministro Mike Eman ya había condecorado al equipo cuando ganaron el campeonato Regional, un recibimiento de héroes los esperaba cuando regresaron de los EEUU el 23 de Agosto, bandas, música, y un gran grupo de espectadores los recibieron para felicitarlos. Funcionarios del gobierno los agasajaron en el salón de personas importantes del aeropuerto International de Aruba antes de que fueran presentados a sus admiradores. Luego fueron transportados con un desfile que lo llevo al

centro de Oranjestad donde fueron felicitados por todos su compatriotas. Solo tres veces en cincuenta años de la historia de estas series mundiales, equipos de América Latina han conquistado este título, 2 veces por Venezuela y 1 por Curacao en el año 2006. Casi toda la isla celebró el regreso de estos jóvenes campeones: Jermain Manuel, Ray-Patrick Didder, Jiandido Tromp, Mitchell Martes, Jose-Luis Gonzalez, Shawn Duinkerk, Milton Croes, Jr., Albertico Noguera, Richinell Matos, Abraham Taveras, Juan Carlos Moncion, Marvin Brown, Miklos Petronia, Mark Danies, Chadwick Tromp, Dwayne Luidens, y su entrenador y gerente Milton Croes, Rayborne Dider and Gregory Manuel.

t was a dream come true for the fourteen young athletes and their coaches who had traveled to Bangor, Maine with ten other teams from around the world to compete in the Senior League World Series, the eldest division of the International Little League, for youth ages 14 to 16. This year, Aruba hosted the Latin American championship playoffs one month prior and islanders packed the ballpark in Santa Cruz to cheer their team on to the title. This was the second consecutive year young Aruban ballplayers had earned the honor of representing their region at the Shawn T. Mansfield Stadium in Bangor, built with a donation by the town’s most famous resident, bestselling author Stephen King. The team had already been honored by Prime Minister Mike Eman when they won the regional championships, but an oldfashioned hero’s welcome awaited them upon their return from the U.S. on Monday, August 23, with bands playing and cheering crowds. Government officials greeted them in the VIP room of the Reina Beatrix International Airport before they were presented to their adoring public. The team was then transported by parade from the airport through the town of Oranjestad where they were hailed by their proud countrymen all along the way. Aruba’s team squared off against the undefeated Bangor All-Stars during the final game on Saturday, August 21,

with one loss on their record on their way to the finals. Aruba managed to score three runs in the first inning; the game was distinguished by a nearly perfect performance by Aruba’s pitcher, Shawn Duinkerk, who also helped win the title during the final game of the Latin American Championships. He delivered only 78 pitches throughout the entire game; the 4th and 5th innings finished with only nine pitches combined, a remarkable accomplishment by any standard. Aruba’s young athletes continued to hold their lead, with Bangor scoring only one run in the fifth inning. They clinched their total victory by scoring five runs during their final turn at bat, with a two-run homer by Chadwick Tromp helping to bring the score to 8-1, Aruba! Teams from the Latin American Division have taken home the title only three times in the fifty-year history of the Senior League World Series; twice by Venezuela, and once by Curacao in 2006. The entire island celebrated the triumphant return of these young players: Jermain Manuel, Ray-Patrick Didder, Jiandido Tromp, Mitchell Martes, Jose-Luis Gonzalez, Shawn Duinkerk, Milton Croes, Jr., Albertico Noguera, Richinell Matos, Abraham Taveras, Juan Carlos Moncion, Marvin Brown, Miklos Petronia, Mark Danies, Chadwick Tromp, Dwayne Luidens, and their coaches and manager Milton Croes, Rayborne Dider and Gregory Manuel.

he fourth Caribbean Sea Jazz Festival will take place on October 8 and 9, with a weeklong pre-heating warm-up preceding the festival. Held at Cas di Cultura, as is customary, the event has grown to full adulthood through the years. This means that worldclass performers can be attracted to the event and thus the 2010 edition will be filled with the names of enormously talented artists. Names like Issac Delgado, the salsa virtuoso, Tizer with international violin virtuoso Karen Briggs, Marcus Miller and the big band Swing Design will be the festival’s headliners without contest, but Cosy Cotton with singer Grana Louise is sure to attract a wide audience as well. Cosy Cotton is performing on Aruba for the third year now and we can tell you:

it makes the hearts of local and visiting blues fans beat faster. This band is truly something else! But the Caribbean Sea Jazz Festival would not be complete without the considerable talent of local bands like Sazon Cubano, Mystical Connection, the Muziekschool Band, El Prove Timbache, Serghio Jansen, Ivan Jansen and Data Panik, which is now getting international recognition. All of the above will get a spot in the spotlight on one of the stages at the Plaza di Cultura and they will surely impress. The weekend of the 8th and 9th October will furthermore be replete in art: paintings, installations, drawings, poetry, theater and mime belong to the list of performances that can be expected. To make the festival complete there will be a terrific food court.

Refinería de Aruba Abre Sus Operaciones

Qué pasa Aruba

Aruba Refinery to Re-open This Month

alero Energy Corp. Tiene en proyecto comenzar de nuevo sus operaciones que permanecieron cerradas por más de un año debido al poco margen de utilidad. Ahora esperan que los casi 240.000 barriles

de producción diaria les permita un margen de ganancias. La refinería fue cerrada en julio de 2009 por razones económicas pero sus empleados conservaron sus puestos mientras Valero consideraba opciones estratégicas para su refi-

nería. Estas consideraciones continuaron, pero en estos momento la condición económica ha mejorado por lo tanto comenzar y operar de nuevo la refinería se ha hecho factible según lo señalo el ejecutivo de Valero, Bill Klesse. La

refinería no puede terminar los productos de combustibles, por lo tanto lo envían a Estados Unidos para completar su proceso. La incapacidad de completar los productos fue la razón de que Valero fue incapaz de vender la refinería.

alero Energy Corp. plans to restart its shut almost 240,000 barrel-per-day Aruba refinery at the end of the month on the hopes that it will be profitable, as it had been shut down due to poor profit margins for over a year. The refinery was shut down due to economic reasons in July 2009 and employees had remained on the payrolls while Valero has reviewed strategic options for the refinery. Economic conditions improved to the point where restarting and operating the refinery has become feasible as per Valero executive, Bill Klesse. The Texan oil company has been seeking a buyer for the refinery since late 2007.

A deal in early 2008 with Brazil’s state-owned oil company Petrobras fell through after a fire at the refinery. Early this year, PetroChina, Asia’s top oil and natural gas producer, was said to be interested in the refinery, along with Colombia’s state-run oil company EcoPetrol and Petrobras. The refinery cannot produce finished motor fuels, but makes mid-stream products that are shipped to U.S. refineries for completion. The inability to make finished products is considered one of the reasons Valero has been unable to sell the refinery, according to brokers of refining assets. Purchased in 2004 by Valero, the Aruba Refinery has been

through significant upgrades since it was recommissioned in the early 1990s. The Aruba refinery processes lower-cost heavy sour crude oil and produces a high yield of finished distillate products and valuable intermediate raw material that can be marketed in the U.S. Gulf Coast, Florida, the New York Harbor,

the Caribbean, South America and Europe. Because the refinery’s product slate matches up so well with the rest of Valero’s system, the company is able to move produced raw material to its refineries in the Gulf Coast and West Coast, as well as Paulsboro, N.J., and refineries on the East Coast.

materials locally, minimize shipping, place writing materials and paper in a central location instead of handing out such individually so that only the most necessary materials are used, maintain an adequate room temperature, eliminate disposable water bottles, minimize use of disposable products (plates, cups, napkins and cutlery), use local products available per season when drawing up menus, and finally plan meetings far in advance in order to guarantee the degree of ecological choices.

Horoscope

September 2010

ARIES: 21 March - 19 April ARIES: del 21 de marzo al 20 de abril No retrocedas en tus propósitos si enfrentas situaciones raras o extrañas. Conserva tu ritmo en la marcha hacia el cumplimiento de tus objetivos. No hables más de lo necesario y cuida tu imagen pública. No te desesperes si tienes que esperar más de la cuenta para la solución de un problema que es aparentemente sencillo. TAURO: del 21 de abril al 20 de mayo Las dudas no te dejan en paz y al final de cada día sólo lograrás sentir más cansancio sin que haya ninguna solución. No pierdas el tiempo en actividades que no te dejan utilidades o en proyectos inciertos que no tienen garantía de éxitos. Saca de dentro de ti todos los resentimientos. Tendrás menos cargas y más agilidad para avanzar. GEMINIS: del 21 de mayo al 20 de junio Conocer nuevas personas te permitirá ampliar tu círculo de amistades, lo cual será muy positivo para ti. Olvídate de los reconocimientos honoríficos y exige la compensación económica que merece tu trabajo. Un buen socio, amigo o consejero será determinante en el logro de las metas inmediatas que te has propuesto lograr. CANCER: del 21 de junio al 22 de julio La fortuna te acompañará en los juegos de azar, pero debes estar más pendiente del bienestar de tus hijos y familiares más cercanos. No asumas el papel de víctima en ningún caso y menos cuando te sabes culpable de los acontecimientos que te afectan. Tu vida afectiva necesita refrescarse, trata de dedicar tiempo y voluntad para revivir tu amor. LEO: del 23 de julio al 23 de agosto Tus compromisos sociales inmediatos te proporcionarán un gozo extraordinario. Tus relaciones están signadas por la armonía y la facilidad para acercarte al sexo opuesto. Estos días son propicios para hacer más efectiva tu creatividad. Los pequeños cambios que puedas introducir en tu vida cotidiana te proporcionarán mucha satisfacción. VIRGO: del 24 de agosto al 23 de septiembre En esta etapa despliegas una mayor energía física y mental. Eso te ayudará a resolver problemas con mucha facilidad y emprender de una vez el trabajo que has ido dejando para después. La influencia lunar determinará que te sientas más feliz realizando trabajos en grupo o compartiendo momentos de distracción con los amigos. LIBRA: del 24 de septiembre al 23 de octubre Con un poco de diplomacia conseguirás todo lo que te propongas y evitarás conflictos innecesarios que sólo sirven para exacerbar el mal humor y dar paso a la negatividad. Encontrarte con un viejo amor te hará muy feliz por instantes, pero muy rápidamente sentirás la satisfacción de no haber anudado tu vida a esa persona. ESCORPIO: del 24 de octubre al 22 de noviembre Es necesario que acentúes tus niveles de autoconfianza. Evita reaccionar muy rápidamente ante situaciones que pueden ser mal interpretadas. Reflexiona y da tiempo. Todo quedará aclarado satisfactoriamente. Trata de controlar tu sensibilidad ante todo lo relacionado con la espiritualidad. Esta es una buena etapa para la reflexión. SAGITARIO: del 24 de noviembre al 23 de diciembre Preocúpate por lo que sucede en el mundo. No puedes continuar llevando una vida aislada. El no estar al día con los acontecimientos te hará aparecer ante los demás como persona inculta y poco informada. Una persona informada tendrá un mayor sentido de pertenencia a la vida, ejercita sus reflejos y responde con audacia. CAPRICORNIO: del 24 de diciembre al 20 de enero Eres el soporte de la familia, pero para desempeñar mejor tu papel tienes que comenzar por cuidarte tú. De tu fortaleza depende la estabilidad de los demás. Tómate unas vacaciones que por muy cortas que sean te permitirán despejar la mente, aclarar los pensamientos y relajar las tensiones. Lo ideal sería un día de pesca. ACUARIO: del 21 de enero al 19 de febrero Cuando sientas deseos de matar a alguien piensa que esa persona no se merece que desgracies tu preciosa vida por la miserable de él. No pierdas tiempo con relaciones inconvenientes. En el trabajo debes jerarquizar las labores para ganar más dinero. Es mejor hacer lo más productivo antes de hacer lo que más nos gusta. PISCIS: del 20 de febrero al 20 de marzo Te conviene planificar. No te lances a disparar primero y apuntar después. Tus esfuerzos producirán los beneficios deseados. Te esperan grandes y satisfactorias sorpresas con una actividad espiritual que estás por iniciar. Debes pensar o reimaginar tu futuro con un poco más de ambición y fantasía. Grandes logros de hoy, antes fueron ilusiones.

Relationships are a strong focus for you in September, dear Aries. Tending to a partner’s needs is important now, and it would be wise to put some of your own personal projects on the back burner in order to focus on a significant partnership.

20 Aruba, Curaçao y Bonaire, Septiembre de 2010

Un nuevo Curaçao Octubre 10, 2010 The dawning of a new Curaçao October 10, 2010

ada isla tuvo su referéndum. Bonaire, Saba y San Eustaquio, decidieron pasar a ser parte de Holanda. Curacao y Saint Martin, aprobaron ser cada uno independientes y, conformarse como país autónomo dentro del Reino de Holanda. Octubre 10, 2010 marca el final de las negociaciones para el nacimiento de Curacao y San Martin como países autónomos dentro del Reino de Holanda. Las leyes de consenso regulan sobre aspectos de los países que por acuerdo y negociación, deben seguir en cuanto a su relación dentro del Reino de Holanda. Este nuevo referéndum dicta desmantelar a las Antillas Neerlandesas y el surgimiento de entidades estatales nuevas para Curacao y Saint

Martin, como países autónomos dentro del Reino Holandés. La autonomía de estos países deriva del STATUUT, que fue un acuerdo de cooperación entre los países en el Reino Holandés, en 1954, producto de la negociación entre la colonia (antes de ser Curacao) y el Reino de Holanda. Al inicio del STATUUT, Aruba formaba parte de las Antillas Neerlandesas, que eran 6 islas. Luego, en 1975, Surinam se separó del Reino Holandés como país independiente. En 1986 Aruba logró su autonomía, como país dentro del Reino Holandés, quedando conformada la estructura del Reino Holandés como sigue, Holanda, las Antillas Neerlandesas (Curazao, San Martin, Bonaire, Saba y San Eustaquio). Sólo

al Reino de Holanda le corresponderá exclusivamente las siguientes leyes, nacionalidad: nacionalidad, a Curacao le corresponderá la del Reino Holandés y la de la Comunidad Europea ;Defensa Exterior y Relaciones Exteriores. Holanda no hará leyes para Curacao. Para el 10-10-10, el nuevo país Curacao será gobernado por un Gobernador, un Gabinete de 9 Ministros. El Gobernador lo propone Curacao y el Reino de Holanda lo designa. El Parlamento, será el encargado de promulgar y discutir las leyes de Curacao, estará integrado por 21 miembros, senadores. En cuanto a la nueva Constitución del Nuevo País Curazao, se observa que para que el país nazca como tal, es necesario que

fuera aprobada primero su Constitución. La Constitución es su marco fundamental, son las normas base de la construcción del país. Con el nuevo país se creará una nueva moneda, un nuevo Banco Central de Curacao y San Martin, cuales políticas monetarias serán similares a las actuales, manteniéndose la estabilidad fija en la paridad cambiaria Florín con respecto al Dólar Americano. Se mantendrá la misma política, los billetes y monedas del Banco Central de las Antillas Neerlandesas que finalmente resultará extinguida, seguirán circulando sin ningún problema, hasta agotarse su existencia. Ellos trabajarán con el dólar directamente, no va a ser con el euro.

autonomy in 1975. What does this mean? That Curacao and St. Martin will only have the following ties to the Netherlands: the nationality, the National Defense and Foreign Relations.
