I ran for Mayor to make Lawrence better because the families in thiscommunity work hard every day to raisea family run a business and build acommunity to try to improve their qualityof life For many years political inghting

unresponsive and irresponsible governmentstood in the way So for the last two yearswe have made hard decisions to change the

way things are done in Lawrence in order to be more responsive and responsible and toimprove the quality of life for all residentsIt is what the voters of Lawrence elected usto do We have worked to ght crime we

have disciplined bad employees including bad police ofcers we have forced tax

cheats to pay their taxes we have takenhard stances on land use matters wedefended the City against bad contractsand bad leases and we demand real changein the way our City does business Whenyou focus on this type of change thosewhose interests are negatively affected bythese actions (bad employees bad cops

tax cheats and unscrupulous landownerslooking to take advantage of the City) willght back against us and they most recently

did so by launching a recall effort to removeme as Mayor They do not want us to makeLawrence better

After almost three months of an effortto put Lawrence and the progress wehave made in the last two years on pausethat group of bad employees bad copstax cheats landowners looking to take

advantage of the City joined by CouncilorMaldonado and Councilor Almonte andeven former Mayor Willy Lantigua allin their effort to stop the progress havefailed in that effort The lies about myself personally and morally the lies about ouradministration and even the rumors of freeturkeys or cash for signatures did not helpthem in their negative agenda

While the Board of Registrars wasgiven a report that 4990 signatures wereveried we are certain that a majority of

these will not stand up to close scrutinyOnce we have the petitions in hand wewill begin to review them for forgery andfraud We have had many people cometo our ofce with experiences where the

people involved with the petitions lied andcajoled them into signing the recall We will be looking into this matter to insure that noonersquos rights were violated I encourage theCity Clerk to expedite the already week oldrequests for those documents Lastly we have not been perfect andwe have much left to do in our effort to

make Lawrence better However from the beginning of this effort it was clear to usthat this recall was not about my conduct personally or the way we have run thisgovernment This was an effort to stopdistract and take the focus off the realreforms that we have put in place The real

Me postuleacute para la Alcaldiacutea para hacerque Lawrence mejore porque las familiasde esta comunidad trabajan duro todos losdiacuteas para criar una familia un negocio yconstruir una comunidad para tratar de

mejorar su calidad de vida Durante muchosantildeos las luchas poliacuteticas internas ungobierno que no responde o es irresponsablelo preveniacutea Asiacute durante los uacuteltimos dosantildeos hemos tomado decisiones difiacutecilesde cambiar la forma de hacer las cosas enLawrence con el n de ser maacutes sensibles y

responsables y para mejorar la calidad devida de todos los residentes Es lo que losvotantes de Lawrence nos eligieron parahacer Hemos trabajado para combatirel crimen hemos disciplinado a malosempleados entre ellos policiacuteas maloshemos obligado a evasores de impuestosa pagar sus impuestos hemos tomado posiciones duras en asuntos del uso de

terrenos hemos defendido la ciudad contralos malos contratos y malos arrendamientosy exigimos un cambio real en la forma enque nuestra ciudad opera Cuando usted secentra en este tipo de cambio aquellos cuyosintereses se ven afectados negativamente por estas acciones (malos empleadosmalos policiacuteas evasores de impuestos yterratenientes sin escruacutepulos que buscanaprovecharse de la Ciudad) lucharaacuten contranosotros y recientemente lo hicieron con ellanzamiento de un esfuerzo de destitucioacuten para removerme como alcalde Ellos noquieren que mejoremos a Lawrence Despueacutes de casi tres meses de unesfuerzo por poner a Lawrence y el progreso

que hemos hecho en los uacuteltimos dos antildeos

incluso el ex Alcalde Willy Lantigua todosen su esfuerzo por detener el progreso hanfracasado en ese esfuerzo Las mentirassobre miacute personalmente y moralmentelas mentiras sobre nuestra administracioacutene incluso los rumores de pavos gratis odinero en efectivo a cambio de sus rmas

no les ayudaron en su agenda negativa Si bien la Junta de Registradoresrecibioacute un informe en el que se vericaron

4990 rmas estamos seguros de que

la mayoriacutea de estos no podraacuten pasar unescrutinio Una vez tengamos las peticionesen mano vamos a empezar a revisarlas por falsicacioacuten y fraude Hemos tenido

muchas personas que vienen a nuestraocina con experiencias de que las personas

involucradas con las peticiones mintieron yles forzaron a rmar los papeles Vamos a

20 antildeos despueacutes

Probablemente usted se sorprendioacute luego de ver la primera paacutegina de estaedicioacuten Es una reacuteplica de nuestra primera publicacioacuten fechada 15 de mayode 1996

Hace 20 antildeos fuimos testigos y reportamos la reconstruccioacuten de Malden Mills Despueacutes de un devastador incendio el 11 de diciembre 1995 que destruyoacute la

mayor parte de la faacutebrica su propietario Aaron M Feuerstein sorprendioacute a su fuerzade trabajo y al mundo con su promesa de reconstruir y mantener a todos en la noacuteminadurante 90 diacuteas

En ese momento el Sr Feuerstein pudo haber cobrado el seguro jubilarsetrasladarse al paraiacuteso o a cualquier otro sitio y olvidarse de la empresa pero el sentildeorFeuerstein en sus propias palabras dijo que seguiraacute luchando por la conanza y la

lealtad mostrada por sus empleados durante esta tragedia para que no se rompanTodos tenemos mucho que agradecer especialmente yo dijo el Sr Feuerstein

A menudo me preguntan por queacute quiero quedarme en Lawrence y Methuen Aquiacutetengo la mejor fuerza laboral de toda la industria textilrdquo

Manteniendo su promesa Malden Mills fue reconstruida en una faacutebrica con losuacuteltimos adelantos pero con una deuda por las nubes de $140 millones Despueacutes queel Sr Feuerstein se declaroacute en quiebra la faacutebrica pasoacute a manos de GE Capital ydespueacutes a los propietarios actuales Versa Capital

El 10 de diciembre de este antildeo Versa Capital hizo el anuncio de que trasladaraacute la produccioacuten a una planta recientemente adquirida en Tennessee y por esa razoacuten unos

200 empleados en Lawrence perderaacuten sus puestos de trabajoEsta noticia molestoacute al Alcalde de Lawrence Daniel Rivera quien dijo que hacedos semanas se le informoacute que la compra de la planta de Tennessee era solo unaexpansioacuten y ahora se da cuenta de que se le ha mentido Mirando hacia atraacutes tal vez la altruista decisioacuten del Sr Feuerstein de mantenera los empleados con sueldo durante tanto tiempo mientras que la reconstruccioacuten sellevaba a cabo dictoacute el futuro de Malden Mills

Eacutel como uacutenico propietario pudo hacer lo que hizo por sus trabajadoresUna empresa en su lugar piensa primero en sus inversionistas los trabajadores

son fungibles

20 years later

Probably you were surprised after seeing this editionrsquos front page Itrsquos a replicaof our rst publication circa May 15th 1996

20 years ago we witnessed and reported the rebuilding of Malden MillsAfter a devastating re in December 11 1995 that destroyed most of the factory

its owner Aaron M Feuerstein surprised his labor force and the world with his promise to rebuild and keep everybody on payroll for 90 days At the time Mr Feuerstein could cash the insurance retired move to paradise orany other place and forget about the business but Mr Feuerstein in his own wordssaid that he will continue ghting for the trust and loyalty shown by his employees

during this tragedy not to be brokenWe all have much to be grateful for particularly me said Mr Feuerstein I

am often asked why I want to stay in Lawrence and Methuen I have here the bestworkforce in the entire textile industry Keeping his promise Malden Mills was rebuilt into a state-of-the-artmanufacturing marvel but with a skyrocketing debt of $140 million After ling for

bankruptcy Mr Feuerstein lost the company to GE Capital who later was taken over by the actual owners Versa Capital On December 10 of this year Versa Capital made the announcement that it willmove the production to a recently acquired plant in Tennessee and for that reasonsome 200 Lawrence employees will lose their jobs This news upset Lawrence Mayor Daniel Rivera who said that two weeks agohe was informed that the purchase of the Tennessee plant was an expansion and nowhe nd that he has been lied to

Looking back perhaps Mr Feuersteinrsquos altruistic decision to keep employeeswith salary for so long while rebuilding dictated the future of Malden Mills As a sole proprietor he could do what he did A company thinks of its investors rst the workers are expendable

Auacuten hay quien piensa que internet vino

a revolucionar o maacutes bien a amenazar al

periodismo Pero a la vista de lo que hay hay

que concluir que lo que el periodismo necesita

para revitalizarse son contenidos de calidad

ya que si ya en su diacutea se pensoacute que la radio iba

a desbancar el perioacutedico y despueacutes lo mismo

pasoacute con la televisioacuten nada de eso ocurrioacute

Asiacute que es de suponer que lo deinternet hoy tambieacuten sea una etapa maacutesde transicioacuten que llevaraacute a los auteacutenticos periodistas a reconvertirse ya que unainformacioacuten de calidad se impone porquees la calidad la que permite competir no elsensacionalismo

El periodismo hoy

El periodismo del bueno tiene queactuar como un contrapoder expresar conlibertad y no ser condescendientes con los poderosos aunque sean esos poderes susanunciantes y por tanto sus sostenedores El periodismo bueno tiene que hacer por dentro una revolucioacuten para tener fuerzaaunque no genere una gran rentabilidad porque el benecio no puede ser a corto

plazo Los periodistas hoy tienen que sercapaces de analizar en profundidad lascosas antes de comunicarlas ya que nointeresa una avalancha de informacioacutensino la informacioacuten veraz bien analizada yexplicada en su contexto

Mientras maacutes lascosas cambian maacutesse quedan igual Los nuacutemeros nales del Recall nos

sorprendieron a todos se recogieron 8022rmas Al liderazgo se le dijo que las

certicaciones se haraacuten antes del 16 de

diciembre sin embargo el Departamentode Elecciones certicoacute 4990 de ellas en un

tiempo reacutecord el viernes 10 El liderazgodel revocatorio estaacute desconcertado yentiendo por queacute Esta es la ocina que en

el informe de Kopelman y Paige identicoacute

numerosos errores la mala administracioacuteny la desorganizacioacuten Estos consultoresencontraron que el departamento electoralde Lawrence manejoacute mal el proceso de laselecciones de 2014 La rma criticoacute a la Ciudad de la

falta de organizacioacuten y la educacioacutenadecuada de los trabajadores electoralesde Lawrence Hicieron recomendacioacuten deque Rivera despidiera a Rafael Tejeda Enel informe de Kopelman y Paige aparecennumerosas violaciones de las elecciones ylos procedimientos que no fueron seguidosEsta empresa presentoacute el Departamento

de Elecciones como un departamento en

ruinas y en un caos total Este informe documenta la falta decustodia adecuada de los votos la faltade seguridad de las urnas el material quese almacena dentro de cajas abultadasalegaron que el Departamento deElecciones permitioacute el acceso puacuteblico ala boacuteveda donde se guardaban los votosen la jornada electoral boletas ausentesfueron enviadas a los lugares de votacioacutenequivocados votos por correo no fueroncontados en la noche electoral y el manejoinadecuado de los votos por correo boletas provisionales y numerosos otros desafiacuteosEso fue en el antildeo 2014 Ahora es 2015 este departamento noha cambiado mucho y puedo entender la

preocupacioacuten de liderazgo con respecto al proceso de no ser imparcial y justo No esninguna sorpresa para miacute que no pudieronencontrar maacutes de tres mil electores que hansido acusados de inadecuado y mal manejode las boletas antes Ellos no contaron las papeletas en la noche de las elecciones iquestporqueacute nosotros el puacuteblico hemos de creer querevisaron maacutes de 8000 rmas en menos de

una semana Si es cierto que miraron cadarma esto se hizo en menos de 30 segundos

por cada rma iexclIMPOSIBLE

Nosotros los contribuyentes deLawrence merecemos un mejor serviciosin importar si usted estaacute a favor o encontra de la revocacioacuten El momento maacutesatroz para miacute fue cuando leiacute en la paacutegina deFacebook del personal de Rivera dando aentender que ya habiacutean ganado el esfuerzode destitucioacuten O coacutemo los nuacutemeros sesabiacutean en la comunidad cuando se suponiacuteaque este proceso sea un proceso muycondencial

Como alcalde y residente de Lawrenceestoy conmocionado y entristecido quePolartec ha hecho el anuncio que hicieronhoy Casi 200 familias de Lawrence se veraacutenafectadas por este cierre y es especialmentedecepcionante escuchar de estos planes eldiacutea antes del 20 aniversario del histoacutericofuego en la faacutebrica Es auacuten maacutes preocupanteque el CEO de Polartec Gary Smith noentregara este mensaje por siacute mismo Siento que los trabajadores y yo fuimosengantildeados porque hace apenas un mesdespueacutes de comprar un negocio similar enTennessee Polartec nos aseguroacute (la Unioacuteny yo) que no iban a hacer exactamente loque estaacuten haciendo en la actualidad Losgobiernos federales estatales y municipaleshicieron un compromiso a largo plazo paralos trabajos de fabricacioacuten en Polartec Esosignicaba que cada vez que Polartec teniacutea

llegaron a esta decisioacuten y lo que puedenhacer para luchar por cada puesto de trabajo para quedarse en Lawrence El cierre de200 puestos de trabajo que se perderaacuten eneste proceso no es algo que Lawrence puedeaceptar

La marca de Polartec se ha convertidoen sinoacutenimo de la idea de que sus productosde alta calidad son realizados por una granfuerza de trabajo y que ellos tienen y hariacuteancualquier cosa por esa fuerza laboral Estaaccioacuten perjudica su marca Por uacuteltimo es necesario que sepan queLawrence no es ajena a situaciones comoesta Si este cierre ocurre seraacute un duro golpe para la ciudad hemos sido derribados antes pero la ciudad y su gente son resistentes ynos levantaremos y perseveraremos

ldquoAs the Mayor and resident ofLawrence I am shocked and saddenedthat Polartec has made the announcementthey did today Almost 200 Lawrencefamilies will be affected by this closureand it is especially disappointing to hearof this development the day before 20 yearanniversary of the historic mill re It is

further troubling that the CEO of PolartecGary Smith did not deliver this messagehimself

I feel that the workers and I were

deceived because just one month ago upon purchasing a similar business in TennesseePolartec reassured us (the Union and I) thatthey would not do exactly what they aredoing today The federal state and citygovernments made a long term commitmentto the manufacturing jobs at Polartec Thatmeant that whenever Polartec had a need oran issue they would bring us all to the tabletogether to gure out a way forward That

did not happen this timeI am calling for CEO Gary Smith

to attend or host a meeting with myselfand Mayor Zanni the State amp Federaldelegations and representatives of theGovernorrsquos ofce to discuss how they came

to this decision and what we can do to ght

for every job to stay in Lawrence Theclose to 200 jobs that will be lost throughthis process is not something Lawrence canaccept

Polartecrsquos brand has becomesynonymous with the concept that theirhigh quality products are made by a greatworkforce and that they have and woulddo anything for that workforce This actioncuts against their brand

Lastly it should be known thatLawrence is no stranger to times like theseIf this closure happens it will be a serious blow to the city we have been knockeddown before but the city and its peopleare resilient and we will get back up and persevere

The more things

change the morethey stay the same The Recall nal numbers surprised us

all 8022 signatures were collected Theleadership was told that the certications

will be done by December 16th howeverthe Election Department certied 4990 of

them in record time by Friday the 10th Therecall leadership is bafed and I understand

why This is the ofce that by Kopelman and

Paigersquos report identied numerous mistakes

bad management and disorganization Thisconsultant found that the election departmentof Lawrence mishandled the process of the2014 elections

The firm criticized the City ofLawrencersquos lack of organization andadequate education of election workersThey made recommendation that Riverared Rafael Tejeda The Kopelman and Paige

report listed numerous election violationsand procedures not being followed Thiscompany portrayed the Election Departmentas a department in shambles and in totalchaos

This report documented the lack ofadequate custody for ballots lack of ballot box security material being stored insideoverstuffed boxes they claimed that theElection Department allowed the publicaccess to the vault where ballots were beingheld on Election Day absentee ballots weresent to the wrong polling places absentee ballots not counted on election night andimproper handling of absentee ballots provisional ballots and numerous of otherchallenges That was year 2014 Now is 2015 not much has changed

in this department and I can understand therecall leadership preoccupation with the

process being fair and just It is no surpriseto me that they couldnrsquot find over threethousand voters they have been accused ofimproper and mishandling of ballots beforeThey didnrsquot count ballots on election nightwhy would we the public believe that theychecked over 8000 signatures in less thana week If in fact they ldquolookedrdquo at eachsignature this was done in less than 30 second

per signature IMPOSSIBLE

We the taxpayers of Lawrence deserve better service regardless whether you arecon or pro the recall The most egregiousmoment for me was when I read in theFacebook page of Riverasrsquos staff hintingthat they have won over the recall effort Or

how the numbers were out in the communitywhen this process was supposed to be a verycondential process

How can we believe in this departmentwith the kind of leaks that were releasedto the community Where is the integrityin the process For godrsquos sake I knew thenumbers before the numbers were made public Although the mayor red Tejeda

hired two of his friends and claimed tohave re structured the department nothinghas really changed This department is stilla mess and Friday conrmed it

The real fun begins now that the Boardof Registrars met on Monday December14 to certify the 4990 signatures that wereveried by the Election Department By

Wednesday at five orsquoclock both groupshave the option to file their objectionsMayor Rivera already said that he wantsan investigation on forgery and fraud eventhough at this point hersquos winning

There are those who think that the

internet came to revolutionize or rather

threaten journalism But in view of what it

is one must conclude that what journalism

needs is to revitalize itself are quality content

as if already at the time it was thought that

radio would unseat the newspaper and then

so did the TV nothing like that happened

So presumably that Internet todayalso is a stage of transition that will leadto genuine journalists to retrain becausequality information is imposed it is the

Journalism todayquality that can compete not sensationalism

The good journalism has to act as a

counter to express freely and not be complacent

with the powerful whether those powers are

advertisers and therefore its supporters

Good journalism has to do a revolutionfrom inside for strength even if it does notgenerate a prot because the benet cannot

be short term Journalists today have to beable to analyze things in depth before theyare communicated and not interested ina ood of information but truthful well

analyzed and explained information

Nadie estaacute inmune a los peligrosde la inuenza o lo que comuacutenmente se

conoce como la ldquogripardquo El antildeo pasado

en su reporte de febrero el Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten y EnfermedadesRespiratorias de los Centros para el Controly Prevencioacuten de Enfermedades (CDC)informoacute que el 61 de los maacutes afectadosfueron personas entre 18 y 64 antildeos de edad Con el anterior reporte el CDCdeshizo el mito de que soacutelo los nintildeos o las personas de la tercera edad son proclives aser afectados por el virus de la inuenza

Asimismo en ese mismo antildeo en la ciudadde Santa Ana una mujer en plenitud de su juventud a los 28 antildeos fallecioacute a causa deuna gripa croacutenica El deceso de esta persona llama muchola atencioacuten pero no es un caso aislado Lo

cierto es que situaciones como eacutesta han idoincrementando con el correr del tiempo Sitomamos en cuenta un periodo de 30 antildeos ndash

entre 1976 y 2006mdash los registros de muertea causa de la inuenza incrementaron desde

3000 a 49000 personas

iquestQueacute es lo que quiere decir el datoanterior Muy simple La inuenza es

una mal que no discrimina el color de lagente el sexo ni mucho menos la edad delas personas En un momento dado todos podemos ser viacutectimas si es que no tomamoslas medidas precautorias para contrarrestareste mal De todo el conjunto de personas quevivimos en los Estados Unidos a menudolas personas con bajos recursos econoacutemicosson los maacutes afectados y los maacutes propensosa tener siacutentomas de inuenza croacutenica

Lamentablemente algunos sectores de la poblacioacuten latina han tenido que soportarlos embates de la inuenza antildeo-tras-antildeo

debido a que en sus comunidades hay pocos programas de concientizacioacuten e informacioacutensobre los peligros de la inuenza Algunos

ni siquiera se enteran de que una vacuna puede ser el arma ideal para abatirla

De acuerdo a los datos del Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten del antildeo anteriorsolo 443 de los nintildeos latinos de seis

meses o mayores fueron vacunados contrala inuenza mientras que en la poblacioacuten

afroamericana es 438 A pesar de que

485 de los nintildeos anglosajones fueronvacunados este dato todaviacutea estaacute pordebajo de las metas establecidas por elgobierno nacional Las disparidades de vacunados entreuno y otro grupo eacutetnico es maacutes visibleen las poblaciones adultas 387 de los

afroamericanos fue vacunado en tanto quelos latinos de 350 y los anglosajones

467 Estos indicadores estadiacutesticos puedesrevertirse si tomamos conciencia denuestra salud Lo maacutes importante es

reconocer que todos somos potencialesviacutectimas de la inuenza Cuanto maacutes

I ran for Mayor to make Lawrence better because the families in thiscommunity work hard every day to raisea family run a business and build acommunity to try to improve their qualityof life For many years political inghting

unresponsive and irresponsible governmentstood in the way So for the last two yearswe have made hard decisions to change the

way things are done in Lawrence in order to be more responsive and responsible and toimprove the quality of life for all residentsIt is what the voters of Lawrence elected usto do We have worked to ght crime we

have disciplined bad employees including bad police ofcers we have forced tax

cheats to pay their taxes we have takenhard stances on land use matters wedefended the City against bad contractsand bad leases and we demand real changein the way our City does business Whenyou focus on this type of change thosewhose interests are negatively affected bythese actions (bad employees bad cops

tax cheats and unscrupulous landownerslooking to take advantage of the City) willght back against us and they most recently

did so by launching a recall effort to removeme as Mayor They do not want us to makeLawrence better

After almost three months of an effortto put Lawrence and the progress wehave made in the last two years on pausethat group of bad employees bad copstax cheats landowners looking to take

advantage of the City joined by CouncilorMaldonado and Councilor Almonte andeven former Mayor Willy Lantigua allin their effort to stop the progress havefailed in that effort The lies about myself personally and morally the lies about ouradministration and even the rumors of freeturkeys or cash for signatures did not helpthem in their negative agenda

While the Board of Registrars wasgiven a report that 4990 signatures wereveried we are certain that a majority of

these will not stand up to close scrutinyOnce we have the petitions in hand wewill begin to review them for forgery andfraud We have had many people cometo our ofce with experiences where the

people involved with the petitions lied andcajoled them into signing the recall We will be looking into this matter to insure that noonersquos rights were violated I encourage theCity Clerk to expedite the already week oldrequests for those documents Lastly we have not been perfect andwe have much left to do in our effort to

make Lawrence better However from the beginning of this effort it was clear to usthat this recall was not about my conduct personally or the way we have run thisgovernment This was an effort to stopdistract and take the focus off the realreforms that we have put in place The real

20 antildeos despueacutes

Probablemente usted se sorprendioacute luego de ver la primera paacutegina de estaedicioacuten Es una reacuteplica de nuestra primera publicacioacuten fechada 15 de mayode 1996

Hace 20 antildeos fuimos testigos y reportamos la reconstruccioacuten de Malden Mills Despueacutes de un devastador incendio el 11 de diciembre 1995 que destruyoacute la

mayor parte de la faacutebrica su propietario Aaron M Feuerstein sorprendioacute a su fuerzade trabajo y al mundo con su promesa de reconstruir y mantener a todos en la noacuteminadurante 90 diacuteas

En ese momento el Sr Feuerstein pudo haber cobrado el seguro jubilarsetrasladarse al paraiacuteso o a cualquier otro sitio y olvidarse de la empresa pero el sentildeorFeuerstein en sus propias palabras dijo que seguiraacute luchando por la conanza y la

lealtad mostrada por sus empleados durante esta tragedia para que no se rompanTodos tenemos mucho que agradecer especialmente yo dijo el Sr Feuerstein

A menudo me preguntan por queacute quiero quedarme en Lawrence y Methuen Aquiacutetengo la mejor fuerza laboral de toda la industria textilrdquo

Manteniendo su promesa Malden Mills fue reconstruida en una faacutebrica con losuacuteltimos adelantos pero con una deuda por las nubes de $140 millones Despueacutes queel Sr Feuerstein se declaroacute en quiebra la faacutebrica pasoacute a manos de GE Capital ydespueacutes a los propietarios actuales Versa Capital

El 10 de diciembre de este antildeo Versa Capital hizo el anuncio de que trasladaraacute la produccioacuten a una planta recientemente adquirida en Tennessee y por esa razoacuten unos

200 empleados en Lawrence perderaacuten sus puestos de trabajoEsta noticia molestoacute al Alcalde de Lawrence Daniel Rivera quien dijo que hacedos semanas se le informoacute que la compra de la planta de Tennessee era solo unaexpansioacuten y ahora se da cuenta de que se le ha mentido Mirando hacia atraacutes tal vez la altruista decisioacuten del Sr Feuerstein de mantenera los empleados con sueldo durante tanto tiempo mientras que la reconstruccioacuten sellevaba a cabo dictoacute el futuro de Malden Mills

Eacutel como uacutenico propietario pudo hacer lo que hizo por sus trabajadoresUna empresa en su lugar piensa primero en sus inversionistas los trabajadores

son fungibles

20 years later

Probably you were surprised after seeing this editionrsquos front page Itrsquos a replicaof our rst publication circa May 15th 1996

20 years ago we witnessed and reported the rebuilding of Malden MillsAfter a devastating re in December 11 1995 that destroyed most of the factory

its owner Aaron M Feuerstein surprised his labor force and the world with his promise to rebuild and keep everybody on payroll for 90 days At the time Mr Feuerstein could cash the insurance retired move to paradise orany other place and forget about the business but Mr Feuerstein in his own wordssaid that he will continue ghting for the trust and loyalty shown by his employees

during this tragedy not to be brokenWe all have much to be grateful for particularly me said Mr Feuerstein I

am often asked why I want to stay in Lawrence and Methuen I have here the bestworkforce in the entire textile industry Keeping his promise Malden Mills was rebuilt into a state-of-the-artmanufacturing marvel but with a skyrocketing debt of $140 million After ling for

bankruptcy Mr Feuerstein lost the company to GE Capital who later was taken over by the actual owners Versa Capital On December 10 of this year Versa Capital made the announcement that it willmove the production to a recently acquired plant in Tennessee and for that reasonsome 200 Lawrence employees will lose their jobs This news upset Lawrence Mayor Daniel Rivera who said that two weeks agohe was informed that the purchase of the Tennessee plant was an expansion and nowhe nd that he has been lied to

Looking back perhaps Mr Feuersteinrsquos altruistic decision to keep employeeswith salary for so long while rebuilding dictated the future of Malden Mills As a sole proprietor he could do what he did A company thinks of its investors rst the workers are expendable

periodismo Pero a la vista de lo que hay hay

que concluir que lo que el periodismo necesita

para revitalizarse son contenidos de calidad

ya que si ya en su diacutea se pensoacute que la radio iba

a desbancar el perioacutedico y despueacutes lo mismo

pasoacute con la televisioacuten nada de eso ocurrioacute

Asiacute que es de suponer que lo deinternet hoy tambieacuten sea una etapa maacutesde transicioacuten que llevaraacute a los auteacutenticos periodistas a reconvertirse ya que unainformacioacuten de calidad se impone porquees la calidad la que permite competir no elsensacionalismo

El periodismo hoy

El periodismo del bueno tiene queactuar como un contrapoder expresar conlibertad y no ser condescendientes con los poderosos aunque sean esos poderes susanunciantes y por tanto sus sostenedores El periodismo bueno tiene que hacer por dentro una revolucioacuten para tener fuerzaaunque no genere una gran rentabilidad porque el benecio no puede ser a corto

plazo Los periodistas hoy tienen que sercapaces de analizar en profundidad lascosas antes de comunicarlas ya que nointeresa una avalancha de informacioacutensino la informacioacuten veraz bien analizada yexplicada en su contexto

Mientras maacutes lascosas cambian maacutesse quedan igual Los nuacutemeros nales del Recall nos

certicaciones se haraacuten antes del 16 de

diciembre sin embargo el Departamentode Elecciones certicoacute 4990 de ellas en un

de Elecciones como un departamento en

ruinas y en un caos total Este informe documenta la falta decustodia adecuada de los votos la faltade seguridad de las urnas el material quese almacena dentro de cajas abultadasalegaron que el Departamento deElecciones permitioacute el acceso puacuteblico ala boacuteveda donde se guardaban los votosen la jornada electoral boletas ausentesfueron enviadas a los lugares de votacioacutenequivocados votos por correo no fueroncontados en la noche electoral y el manejoinadecuado de los votos por correo boletas provisionales y numerosos otros desafiacuteosEso fue en el antildeo 2014 Ahora es 2015 este departamento noha cambiado mucho y puedo entender la

preocupacioacuten de liderazgo con respecto al proceso de no ser imparcial y justo No esninguna sorpresa para miacute que no pudieronencontrar maacutes de tres mil electores que hansido acusados de inadecuado y mal manejode las boletas antes Ellos no contaron las papeletas en la noche de las elecciones iquestporqueacute nosotros el puacuteblico hemos de creer querevisaron maacutes de 8000 rmas en menos de

Como alcalde y residente de Lawrenceestoy conmocionado y entristecido quePolartec ha hecho el anuncio que hicieronhoy Casi 200 familias de Lawrence se veraacutenafectadas por este cierre y es especialmentedecepcionante escuchar de estos planes eldiacutea antes del 20 aniversario del histoacutericofuego en la faacutebrica Es auacuten maacutes preocupanteque el CEO de Polartec Gary Smith noentregara este mensaje por siacute mismo Siento que los trabajadores y yo fuimosengantildeados porque hace apenas un mesdespueacutes de comprar un negocio similar enTennessee Polartec nos aseguroacute (la Unioacuteny yo) que no iban a hacer exactamente loque estaacuten haciendo en la actualidad Losgobiernos federales estatales y municipaleshicieron un compromiso a largo plazo paralos trabajos de fabricacioacuten en Polartec Esosignicaba que cada vez que Polartec teniacutea

una necesidad o un problema nos traeriacutea a

todos a la mesa para encontrar una forma deavanzar Eso no ocurrioacute en esta ocasioacuten Estoy llamando al CEO Gary Smith para asistir o auspiciar una reunioacuten conmigoy el Alcalde Zanni las delegacionesestatales y federales y representantes de laocina del gobernador para discutir coacutemo

llegaron a esta decisioacuten y lo que puedenhacer para luchar por cada puesto de trabajo para quedarse en Lawrence El cierre de200 puestos de trabajo que se perderaacuten eneste proceso no es algo que Lawrence puedeaceptar

La marca de Polartec se ha convertidoen sinoacutenimo de la idea de que sus productosde alta calidad son realizados por una granfuerza de trabajo y que ellos tienen y hariacuteancualquier cosa por esa fuerza laboral Estaaccioacuten perjudica su marca Por uacuteltimo es necesario que sepan queLawrence no es ajena a situaciones comoesta Si este cierre ocurre seraacute un duro golpe para la ciudad hemos sido derribados antes pero la ciudad y su gente son resistentes ynos levantaremos y perseveraremos

ldquoAs the Mayor and resident ofLawrence I am shocked and saddenedthat Polartec has made the announcementthey did today Almost 200 Lawrencefamilies will be affected by this closureand it is especially disappointing to hearof this development the day before 20 yearanniversary of the historic mill re It is

further troubling that the CEO of PolartecGary Smith did not deliver this messagehimself

I feel that the workers and I were

deceived because just one month ago upon purchasing a similar business in TennesseePolartec reassured us (the Union and I) thatthey would not do exactly what they aredoing today The federal state and citygovernments made a long term commitmentto the manufacturing jobs at Polartec Thatmeant that whenever Polartec had a need oran issue they would bring us all to the tabletogether to gure out a way forward That

did not happen this timeI am calling for CEO Gary Smith

to attend or host a meeting with myselfand Mayor Zanni the State amp Federaldelegations and representatives of theGovernorrsquos ofce to discuss how they came

to this decision and what we can do to ght

for every job to stay in Lawrence Theclose to 200 jobs that will be lost throughthis process is not something Lawrence canaccept

Polartecrsquos brand has becomesynonymous with the concept that theirhigh quality products are made by a greatworkforce and that they have and woulddo anything for that workforce This actioncuts against their brand

Lastly it should be known thatLawrence is no stranger to times like theseIf this closure happens it will be a serious blow to the city we have been knockeddown before but the city and its peopleare resilient and we will get back up and persevere

The more things

change the morethey stay the same The Recall nal numbers surprised us

all 8022 signatures were collected Theleadership was told that the certications

will be done by December 16th howeverthe Election Department certied 4990 of

them in record time by Friday the 10th Therecall leadership is bafed and I understand

why This is the ofce that by Kopelman and

Paigersquos report identied numerous mistakes

bad management and disorganization Thisconsultant found that the election departmentof Lawrence mishandled the process of the2014 elections

The firm criticized the City ofLawrencersquos lack of organization andadequate education of election workersThey made recommendation that Riverared Rafael Tejeda The Kopelman and Paige

report listed numerous election violationsand procedures not being followed Thiscompany portrayed the Election Departmentas a department in shambles and in totalchaos

This report documented the lack ofadequate custody for ballots lack of ballot box security material being stored insideoverstuffed boxes they claimed that theElection Department allowed the publicaccess to the vault where ballots were beingheld on Election Day absentee ballots weresent to the wrong polling places absentee ballots not counted on election night andimproper handling of absentee ballots provisional ballots and numerous of otherchallenges That was year 2014 Now is 2015 not much has changed

in this department and I can understand therecall leadership preoccupation with the

process being fair and just It is no surpriseto me that they couldnrsquot find over threethousand voters they have been accused ofimproper and mishandling of ballots beforeThey didnrsquot count ballots on election nightwhy would we the public believe that theychecked over 8000 signatures in less thana week If in fact they ldquolookedrdquo at eachsignature this was done in less than 30 second

per signature IMPOSSIBLE

We the taxpayers of Lawrence deserve better service regardless whether you arecon or pro the recall The most egregiousmoment for me was when I read in theFacebook page of Riverasrsquos staff hintingthat they have won over the recall effort Or

how the numbers were out in the communitywhen this process was supposed to be a verycondential process

How can we believe in this departmentwith the kind of leaks that were releasedto the community Where is the integrityin the process For godrsquos sake I knew thenumbers before the numbers were made public Although the mayor red Tejeda

hired two of his friends and claimed tohave re structured the department nothinghas really changed This department is stilla mess and Friday conrmed it

The real fun begins now that the Boardof Registrars met on Monday December14 to certify the 4990 signatures that wereveried by the Election Department By

Wednesday at five orsquoclock both groupshave the option to file their objectionsMayor Rivera already said that he wantsan investigation on forgery and fraud eventhough at this point hersquos winning

There are those who think that the

internet came to revolutionize or rather

threaten journalism But in view of what it

is one must conclude that what journalism

needs is to revitalize itself are quality content

as if already at the time it was thought that

radio would unseat the newspaper and then

so did the TV nothing like that happened

So presumably that Internet todayalso is a stage of transition that will leadto genuine journalists to retrain becausequality information is imposed it is the

Journalism todayquality that can compete not sensationalism

The good journalism has to act as a

counter to express freely and not be complacent

with the powerful whether those powers are

advertisers and therefore its supporters

Good journalism has to do a revolutionfrom inside for strength even if it does notgenerate a prot because the benet cannot

be short term Journalists today have to beable to analyze things in depth before theyare communicated and not interested ina ood of information but truthful well

analyzed and explained information

Nadie estaacute inmune a los peligrosde la inuenza o lo que comuacutenmente se

conoce como la ldquogripardquo El antildeo pasado

en su reporte de febrero el Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten y EnfermedadesRespiratorias de los Centros para el Controly Prevencioacuten de Enfermedades (CDC)informoacute que el 61 de los maacutes afectadosfueron personas entre 18 y 64 antildeos de edad Con el anterior reporte el CDCdeshizo el mito de que soacutelo los nintildeos o las personas de la tercera edad son proclives aser afectados por el virus de la inuenza

Asimismo en ese mismo antildeo en la ciudadde Santa Ana una mujer en plenitud de su juventud a los 28 antildeos fallecioacute a causa deuna gripa croacutenica El deceso de esta persona llama muchola atencioacuten pero no es un caso aislado Lo

cierto es que situaciones como eacutesta han idoincrementando con el correr del tiempo Sitomamos en cuenta un periodo de 30 antildeos ndash

entre 1976 y 2006mdash los registros de muertea causa de la inuenza incrementaron desde

3000 a 49000 personas

iquestQueacute es lo que quiere decir el datoanterior Muy simple La inuenza es

una mal que no discrimina el color de lagente el sexo ni mucho menos la edad delas personas En un momento dado todos podemos ser viacutectimas si es que no tomamoslas medidas precautorias para contrarrestareste mal De todo el conjunto de personas quevivimos en los Estados Unidos a menudolas personas con bajos recursos econoacutemicosson los maacutes afectados y los maacutes propensosa tener siacutentomas de inuenza croacutenica

Lamentablemente algunos sectores de la poblacioacuten latina han tenido que soportarlos embates de la inuenza antildeo-tras-antildeo

debido a que en sus comunidades hay pocos programas de concientizacioacuten e informacioacutensobre los peligros de la inuenza Algunos

ni siquiera se enteran de que una vacuna puede ser el arma ideal para abatirla

De acuerdo a los datos del Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten del antildeo anteriorsolo 443 de los nintildeos latinos de seis

meses o mayores fueron vacunados contrala inuenza mientras que en la poblacioacuten

afroamericana es 438 A pesar de que

485 de los nintildeos anglosajones fueronvacunados este dato todaviacutea estaacute pordebajo de las metas establecidas por elgobierno nacional Las disparidades de vacunados entreuno y otro grupo eacutetnico es maacutes visibleen las poblaciones adultas 387 de los

afroamericanos fue vacunado en tanto quelos latinos de 350 y los anglosajones

467 Estos indicadores estadiacutesticos puedesrevertirse si tomamos conciencia denuestra salud Lo maacutes importante es

reconocer que todos somos potencialesviacutectimas de la inuenza Cuanto maacutes

precauciones tomemos y maacutes medidasaplicamos en nuestro diario vivir menores la probabilidad de enfermarnos con unagripa La Dra Anne Schuchat directoradel Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten yEnfermedades Respiratorias del CDC ysubdirectora general del Servicio de SaludPuacuteblica de los Estados Unidos dice que lamayor actividad del virus de la inuenza

se maniesta en las estas de Navidad y

Antildeo Nuevo entre diciembre y febrero Deacuerdo a sus estudios el problema puedeincluso durar hasta mayo En este sentido diversas organizacionesnacionales como el CDC estaacuten en plenacampantildea contra el virus de la inuenza

Como alcalde y residente de Lawrenceestoy conmocionado y entristecido quePolartec ha hecho el anuncio que hicieronhoy Casi 200 familias de Lawrence se veraacutenafectadas por este cierre y es especialmentedecepcionante escuchar de estos planes eldiacutea antes del 20 aniversario del histoacutericofuego en la faacutebrica Es auacuten maacutes preocupanteque el CEO de Polartec Gary Smith noentregara este mensaje por siacute mismo Siento que los trabajadores y yo fuimosengantildeados porque hace apenas un mesdespueacutes de comprar un negocio similar enTennessee Polartec nos aseguroacute (la Unioacuteny yo) que no iban a hacer exactamente loque estaacuten haciendo en la actualidad Losgobiernos federales estatales y municipaleshicieron un compromiso a largo plazo paralos trabajos de fabricacioacuten en Polartec Esosignicaba que cada vez que Polartec teniacutea

una necesidad o un problema nos traeriacutea a

todos a la mesa para encontrar una forma deavanzar Eso no ocurrioacute en esta ocasioacuten Estoy llamando al CEO Gary Smith para asistir o auspiciar una reunioacuten conmigoy el Alcalde Zanni las delegacionesestatales y federales y representantes de laocina del gobernador para discutir coacutemo

llegaron a esta decisioacuten y lo que puedenhacer para luchar por cada puesto de trabajo para quedarse en Lawrence El cierre de200 puestos de trabajo que se perderaacuten eneste proceso no es algo que Lawrence puedeaceptar

La marca de Polartec se ha convertidoen sinoacutenimo de la idea de que sus productosde alta calidad son realizados por una granfuerza de trabajo y que ellos tienen y hariacuteancualquier cosa por esa fuerza laboral Estaaccioacuten perjudica su marca Por uacuteltimo es necesario que sepan queLawrence no es ajena a situaciones comoesta Si este cierre ocurre seraacute un duro golpe para la ciudad hemos sido derribados antes pero la ciudad y su gente son resistentes ynos levantaremos y perseveraremos

ldquoAs the Mayor and resident ofLawrence I am shocked and saddenedthat Polartec has made the announcementthey did today Almost 200 Lawrencefamilies will be affected by this closureand it is especially disappointing to hearof this development the day before 20 yearanniversary of the historic mill re It is

further troubling that the CEO of PolartecGary Smith did not deliver this messagehimself

I feel that the workers and I were

deceived because just one month ago upon purchasing a similar business in TennesseePolartec reassured us (the Union and I) thatthey would not do exactly what they aredoing today The federal state and citygovernments made a long term commitmentto the manufacturing jobs at Polartec Thatmeant that whenever Polartec had a need oran issue they would bring us all to the tabletogether to gure out a way forward That

did not happen this timeI am calling for CEO Gary Smith

to attend or host a meeting with myselfand Mayor Zanni the State amp Federaldelegations and representatives of theGovernorrsquos ofce to discuss how they came

to this decision and what we can do to ght

for every job to stay in Lawrence Theclose to 200 jobs that will be lost throughthis process is not something Lawrence canaccept

Polartecrsquos brand has becomesynonymous with the concept that theirhigh quality products are made by a greatworkforce and that they have and woulddo anything for that workforce This actioncuts against their brand

Lastly it should be known thatLawrence is no stranger to times like theseIf this closure happens it will be a serious blow to the city we have been knockeddown before but the city and its peopleare resilient and we will get back up and persevere

The more things

change the morethey stay the same The Recall nal numbers surprised us

all 8022 signatures were collected Theleadership was told that the certications

will be done by December 16th howeverthe Election Department certied 4990 of

them in record time by Friday the 10th Therecall leadership is bafed and I understand

why This is the ofce that by Kopelman and

Paigersquos report identied numerous mistakes

bad management and disorganization Thisconsultant found that the election departmentof Lawrence mishandled the process of the2014 elections

The firm criticized the City ofLawrencersquos lack of organization andadequate education of election workersThey made recommendation that Riverared Rafael Tejeda The Kopelman and Paige

report listed numerous election violationsand procedures not being followed Thiscompany portrayed the Election Departmentas a department in shambles and in totalchaos

This report documented the lack ofadequate custody for ballots lack of ballot box security material being stored insideoverstuffed boxes they claimed that theElection Department allowed the publicaccess to the vault where ballots were beingheld on Election Day absentee ballots weresent to the wrong polling places absentee ballots not counted on election night andimproper handling of absentee ballots provisional ballots and numerous of otherchallenges That was year 2014 Now is 2015 not much has changed

in this department and I can understand therecall leadership preoccupation with the

process being fair and just It is no surpriseto me that they couldnrsquot find over threethousand voters they have been accused ofimproper and mishandling of ballots beforeThey didnrsquot count ballots on election nightwhy would we the public believe that theychecked over 8000 signatures in less thana week If in fact they ldquolookedrdquo at eachsignature this was done in less than 30 second

per signature IMPOSSIBLE

We the taxpayers of Lawrence deserve better service regardless whether you arecon or pro the recall The most egregiousmoment for me was when I read in theFacebook page of Riverasrsquos staff hintingthat they have won over the recall effort Or

how the numbers were out in the communitywhen this process was supposed to be a verycondential process

How can we believe in this departmentwith the kind of leaks that were releasedto the community Where is the integrityin the process For godrsquos sake I knew thenumbers before the numbers were made public Although the mayor red Tejeda

hired two of his friends and claimed tohave re structured the department nothinghas really changed This department is stilla mess and Friday conrmed it

The real fun begins now that the Boardof Registrars met on Monday December14 to certify the 4990 signatures that wereveried by the Election Department By

Wednesday at five orsquoclock both groupshave the option to file their objectionsMayor Rivera already said that he wantsan investigation on forgery and fraud eventhough at this point hersquos winning

There are those who think that the

internet came to revolutionize or rather

threaten journalism But in view of what it

is one must conclude that what journalism

needs is to revitalize itself are quality content

as if already at the time it was thought that

radio would unseat the newspaper and then

so did the TV nothing like that happened

So presumably that Internet todayalso is a stage of transition that will leadto genuine journalists to retrain becausequality information is imposed it is the

Journalism todayquality that can compete not sensationalism

The good journalism has to act as a

counter to express freely and not be complacent

with the powerful whether those powers are

advertisers and therefore its supporters

Good journalism has to do a revolutionfrom inside for strength even if it does notgenerate a prot because the benet cannot

be short term Journalists today have to beable to analyze things in depth before theyare communicated and not interested ina ood of information but truthful well

analyzed and explained information

Nadie estaacute inmune a los peligrosde la inuenza o lo que comuacutenmente se

conoce como la ldquogripardquo El antildeo pasado

en su reporte de febrero el Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten y EnfermedadesRespiratorias de los Centros para el Controly Prevencioacuten de Enfermedades (CDC)informoacute que el 61 de los maacutes afectadosfueron personas entre 18 y 64 antildeos de edad Con el anterior reporte el CDCdeshizo el mito de que soacutelo los nintildeos o las personas de la tercera edad son proclives aser afectados por el virus de la inuenza

Asimismo en ese mismo antildeo en la ciudadde Santa Ana una mujer en plenitud de su juventud a los 28 antildeos fallecioacute a causa deuna gripa croacutenica El deceso de esta persona llama muchola atencioacuten pero no es un caso aislado Lo

cierto es que situaciones como eacutesta han idoincrementando con el correr del tiempo Sitomamos en cuenta un periodo de 30 antildeos ndash

entre 1976 y 2006mdash los registros de muertea causa de la inuenza incrementaron desde

3000 a 49000 personas

iquestQueacute es lo que quiere decir el datoanterior Muy simple La inuenza es

una mal que no discrimina el color de lagente el sexo ni mucho menos la edad delas personas En un momento dado todos podemos ser viacutectimas si es que no tomamoslas medidas precautorias para contrarrestareste mal De todo el conjunto de personas quevivimos en los Estados Unidos a menudolas personas con bajos recursos econoacutemicosson los maacutes afectados y los maacutes propensosa tener siacutentomas de inuenza croacutenica

Lamentablemente algunos sectores de la poblacioacuten latina han tenido que soportarlos embates de la inuenza antildeo-tras-antildeo

debido a que en sus comunidades hay pocos programas de concientizacioacuten e informacioacutensobre los peligros de la inuenza Algunos

ni siquiera se enteran de que una vacuna puede ser el arma ideal para abatirla

De acuerdo a los datos del Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten del antildeo anteriorsolo 443 de los nintildeos latinos de seis

meses o mayores fueron vacunados contrala inuenza mientras que en la poblacioacuten

afroamericana es 438 A pesar de que

485 de los nintildeos anglosajones fueronvacunados este dato todaviacutea estaacute pordebajo de las metas establecidas por elgobierno nacional Las disparidades de vacunados entreuno y otro grupo eacutetnico es maacutes visibleen las poblaciones adultas 387 de los

afroamericanos fue vacunado en tanto quelos latinos de 350 y los anglosajones

467 Estos indicadores estadiacutesticos puedesrevertirse si tomamos conciencia denuestra salud Lo maacutes importante es

reconocer que todos somos potencialesviacutectimas de la inuenza Cuanto maacutes

precauciones tomemos y maacutes medidasaplicamos en nuestro diario vivir menores la probabilidad de enfermarnos con unagripa La Dra Anne Schuchat directoradel Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten yEnfermedades Respiratorias del CDC ysubdirectora general del Servicio de SaludPuacuteblica de los Estados Unidos dice que lamayor actividad del virus de la inuenza

Como alcalde y residente de Lawrenceestoy conmocionado y entristecido quePolartec ha hecho el anuncio que hicieronhoy Casi 200 familias de Lawrence se veraacutenafectadas por este cierre y es especialmentedecepcionante escuchar de estos planes eldiacutea antes del 20 aniversario del histoacutericofuego en la faacutebrica Es auacuten maacutes preocupanteque el CEO de Polartec Gary Smith noentregara este mensaje por siacute mismo Siento que los trabajadores y yo fuimosengantildeados porque hace apenas un mesdespueacutes de comprar un negocio similar enTennessee Polartec nos aseguroacute (la Unioacuteny yo) que no iban a hacer exactamente loque estaacuten haciendo en la actualidad Losgobiernos federales estatales y municipaleshicieron un compromiso a largo plazo paralos trabajos de fabricacioacuten en Polartec Esosignicaba que cada vez que Polartec teniacutea

una necesidad o un problema nos traeriacutea a

todos a la mesa para encontrar una forma deavanzar Eso no ocurrioacute en esta ocasioacuten Estoy llamando al CEO Gary Smith para asistir o auspiciar una reunioacuten conmigoy el Alcalde Zanni las delegacionesestatales y federales y representantes de laocina del gobernador para discutir coacutemo

llegaron a esta decisioacuten y lo que puedenhacer para luchar por cada puesto de trabajo para quedarse en Lawrence El cierre de200 puestos de trabajo que se perderaacuten eneste proceso no es algo que Lawrence puedeaceptar

La marca de Polartec se ha convertidoen sinoacutenimo de la idea de que sus productosde alta calidad son realizados por una granfuerza de trabajo y que ellos tienen y hariacuteancualquier cosa por esa fuerza laboral Estaaccioacuten perjudica su marca Por uacuteltimo es necesario que sepan queLawrence no es ajena a situaciones comoesta Si este cierre ocurre seraacute un duro golpe para la ciudad hemos sido derribados antes pero la ciudad y su gente son resistentes ynos levantaremos y perseveraremos

ldquoAs the Mayor and resident ofLawrence I am shocked and saddenedthat Polartec has made the announcementthey did today Almost 200 Lawrencefamilies will be affected by this closureand it is especially disappointing to hearof this development the day before 20 yearanniversary of the historic mill re It is

further troubling that the CEO of PolartecGary Smith did not deliver this messagehimself

I feel that the workers and I were

deceived because just one month ago upon purchasing a similar business in TennesseePolartec reassured us (the Union and I) thatthey would not do exactly what they aredoing today The federal state and citygovernments made a long term commitmentto the manufacturing jobs at Polartec Thatmeant that whenever Polartec had a need oran issue they would bring us all to the tabletogether to gure out a way forward That

did not happen this timeI am calling for CEO Gary Smith

to attend or host a meeting with myselfand Mayor Zanni the State amp Federaldelegations and representatives of theGovernorrsquos ofce to discuss how they came

to this decision and what we can do to ght

for every job to stay in Lawrence Theclose to 200 jobs that will be lost throughthis process is not something Lawrence canaccept

Polartecrsquos brand has becomesynonymous with the concept that theirhigh quality products are made by a greatworkforce and that they have and woulddo anything for that workforce This actioncuts against their brand

Lastly it should be known thatLawrence is no stranger to times like theseIf this closure happens it will be a serious blow to the city we have been knockeddown before but the city and its peopleare resilient and we will get back up and persevere

The more things

change the morethey stay the same The Recall nal numbers surprised us

all 8022 signatures were collected Theleadership was told that the certications

will be done by December 16th howeverthe Election Department certied 4990 of

them in record time by Friday the 10th Therecall leadership is bafed and I understand

why This is the ofce that by Kopelman and

Paigersquos report identied numerous mistakes

bad management and disorganization Thisconsultant found that the election departmentof Lawrence mishandled the process of the2014 elections

The firm criticized the City ofLawrencersquos lack of organization andadequate education of election workersThey made recommendation that Riverared Rafael Tejeda The Kopelman and Paige

report listed numerous election violationsand procedures not being followed Thiscompany portrayed the Election Departmentas a department in shambles and in totalchaos

This report documented the lack ofadequate custody for ballots lack of ballot box security material being stored insideoverstuffed boxes they claimed that theElection Department allowed the publicaccess to the vault where ballots were beingheld on Election Day absentee ballots weresent to the wrong polling places absentee ballots not counted on election night andimproper handling of absentee ballots provisional ballots and numerous of otherchallenges That was year 2014 Now is 2015 not much has changed

in this department and I can understand therecall leadership preoccupation with the

process being fair and just It is no surpriseto me that they couldnrsquot find over threethousand voters they have been accused ofimproper and mishandling of ballots beforeThey didnrsquot count ballots on election nightwhy would we the public believe that theychecked over 8000 signatures in less thana week If in fact they ldquolookedrdquo at eachsignature this was done in less than 30 second

per signature IMPOSSIBLE

We the taxpayers of Lawrence deserve better service regardless whether you arecon or pro the recall The most egregiousmoment for me was when I read in theFacebook page of Riverasrsquos staff hintingthat they have won over the recall effort Or

how the numbers were out in the communitywhen this process was supposed to be a verycondential process

How can we believe in this departmentwith the kind of leaks that were releasedto the community Where is the integrityin the process For godrsquos sake I knew thenumbers before the numbers were made public Although the mayor red Tejeda

hired two of his friends and claimed tohave re structured the department nothinghas really changed This department is stilla mess and Friday conrmed it

The real fun begins now that the Boardof Registrars met on Monday December14 to certify the 4990 signatures that wereveried by the Election Department By

Wednesday at five orsquoclock both groupshave the option to file their objectionsMayor Rivera already said that he wantsan investigation on forgery and fraud eventhough at this point hersquos winning

There are those who think that the

internet came to revolutionize or rather

threaten journalism But in view of what it

is one must conclude that what journalism

needs is to revitalize itself are quality content

as if already at the time it was thought that

radio would unseat the newspaper and then

so did the TV nothing like that happened

So presumably that Internet todayalso is a stage of transition that will leadto genuine journalists to retrain becausequality information is imposed it is the

Journalism todayquality that can compete not sensationalism

The good journalism has to act as a

counter to express freely and not be complacent

with the powerful whether those powers are

advertisers and therefore its supporters

Good journalism has to do a revolutionfrom inside for strength even if it does notgenerate a prot because the benet cannot

be short term Journalists today have to beable to analyze things in depth before theyare communicated and not interested ina ood of information but truthful well

analyzed and explained information

Nadie estaacute inmune a los peligrosde la inuenza o lo que comuacutenmente se

conoce como la ldquogripardquo El antildeo pasado

en su reporte de febrero el Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten y EnfermedadesRespiratorias de los Centros para el Controly Prevencioacuten de Enfermedades (CDC)informoacute que el 61 de los maacutes afectadosfueron personas entre 18 y 64 antildeos de edad Con el anterior reporte el CDCdeshizo el mito de que soacutelo los nintildeos o las personas de la tercera edad son proclives aser afectados por el virus de la inuenza

Asimismo en ese mismo antildeo en la ciudadde Santa Ana una mujer en plenitud de su juventud a los 28 antildeos fallecioacute a causa deuna gripa croacutenica El deceso de esta persona llama muchola atencioacuten pero no es un caso aislado Lo

cierto es que situaciones como eacutesta han idoincrementando con el correr del tiempo Sitomamos en cuenta un periodo de 30 antildeos ndash

entre 1976 y 2006mdash los registros de muertea causa de la inuenza incrementaron desde

3000 a 49000 personas

iquestQueacute es lo que quiere decir el datoanterior Muy simple La inuenza es

una mal que no discrimina el color de lagente el sexo ni mucho menos la edad delas personas En un momento dado todos podemos ser viacutectimas si es que no tomamoslas medidas precautorias para contrarrestareste mal De todo el conjunto de personas quevivimos en los Estados Unidos a menudolas personas con bajos recursos econoacutemicosson los maacutes afectados y los maacutes propensosa tener siacutentomas de inuenza croacutenica

Lamentablemente algunos sectores de la poblacioacuten latina han tenido que soportarlos embates de la inuenza antildeo-tras-antildeo

debido a que en sus comunidades hay pocos programas de concientizacioacuten e informacioacutensobre los peligros de la inuenza Algunos

ni siquiera se enteran de que una vacuna puede ser el arma ideal para abatirla

De acuerdo a los datos del Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten del antildeo anteriorsolo 443 de los nintildeos latinos de seis

meses o mayores fueron vacunados contrala inuenza mientras que en la poblacioacuten

afroamericana es 438 A pesar de que

485 de los nintildeos anglosajones fueronvacunados este dato todaviacutea estaacute pordebajo de las metas establecidas por elgobierno nacional Las disparidades de vacunados entreuno y otro grupo eacutetnico es maacutes visibleen las poblaciones adultas 387 de los

afroamericanos fue vacunado en tanto quelos latinos de 350 y los anglosajones

467 Estos indicadores estadiacutesticos puedesrevertirse si tomamos conciencia denuestra salud Lo maacutes importante es

reconocer que todos somos potencialesviacutectimas de la inuenza Cuanto maacutes

precauciones tomemos y maacutes medidasaplicamos en nuestro diario vivir menores la probabilidad de enfermarnos con unagripa La Dra Anne Schuchat directoradel Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten yEnfermedades Respiratorias del CDC ysubdirectora general del Servicio de SaludPuacuteblica de los Estados Unidos dice que lamayor actividad del virus de la inuenza

una necesidad o un problema nos traeriacutea a

todos a la mesa para encontrar una forma deavanzar Eso no ocurrioacute en esta ocasioacuten Estoy llamando al CEO Gary Smith para asistir o auspiciar una reunioacuten conmigoy el Alcalde Zanni las delegacionesestatales y federales y representantes de laocina del gobernador para discutir coacutemo

llegaron a esta decisioacuten y lo que puedenhacer para luchar por cada puesto de trabajo para quedarse en Lawrence El cierre de200 puestos de trabajo que se perderaacuten eneste proceso no es algo que Lawrence puedeaceptar

La marca de Polartec se ha convertidoen sinoacutenimo de la idea de que sus productosde alta calidad son realizados por una granfuerza de trabajo y que ellos tienen y hariacuteancualquier cosa por esa fuerza laboral Estaaccioacuten perjudica su marca Por uacuteltimo es necesario que sepan queLawrence no es ajena a situaciones comoesta Si este cierre ocurre seraacute un duro golpe para la ciudad hemos sido derribados antes pero la ciudad y su gente son resistentes ynos levantaremos y perseveraremos

ldquoAs the Mayor and resident ofLawrence I am shocked and saddenedthat Polartec has made the announcementthey did today Almost 200 Lawrencefamilies will be affected by this closureand it is especially disappointing to hearof this development the day before 20 yearanniversary of the historic mill re It is

further troubling that the CEO of PolartecGary Smith did not deliver this messagehimself

I feel that the workers and I were

deceived because just one month ago upon purchasing a similar business in TennesseePolartec reassured us (the Union and I) thatthey would not do exactly what they aredoing today The federal state and citygovernments made a long term commitmentto the manufacturing jobs at Polartec Thatmeant that whenever Polartec had a need oran issue they would bring us all to the tabletogether to gure out a way forward That

did not happen this timeI am calling for CEO Gary Smith

to attend or host a meeting with myselfand Mayor Zanni the State amp Federaldelegations and representatives of theGovernorrsquos ofce to discuss how they came

to this decision and what we can do to ght

for every job to stay in Lawrence Theclose to 200 jobs that will be lost throughthis process is not something Lawrence canaccept

Polartecrsquos brand has becomesynonymous with the concept that theirhigh quality products are made by a greatworkforce and that they have and woulddo anything for that workforce This actioncuts against their brand

Lastly it should be known thatLawrence is no stranger to times like theseIf this closure happens it will be a serious blow to the city we have been knockeddown before but the city and its peopleare resilient and we will get back up and persevere

The more things

change the morethey stay the same The Recall nal numbers surprised us

all 8022 signatures were collected Theleadership was told that the certications

will be done by December 16th howeverthe Election Department certied 4990 of

them in record time by Friday the 10th Therecall leadership is bafed and I understand

why This is the ofce that by Kopelman and

Paigersquos report identied numerous mistakes

bad management and disorganization Thisconsultant found that the election departmentof Lawrence mishandled the process of the2014 elections

The firm criticized the City ofLawrencersquos lack of organization andadequate education of election workersThey made recommendation that Riverared Rafael Tejeda The Kopelman and Paige

report listed numerous election violationsand procedures not being followed Thiscompany portrayed the Election Departmentas a department in shambles and in totalchaos

This report documented the lack ofadequate custody for ballots lack of ballot box security material being stored insideoverstuffed boxes they claimed that theElection Department allowed the publicaccess to the vault where ballots were beingheld on Election Day absentee ballots weresent to the wrong polling places absentee ballots not counted on election night andimproper handling of absentee ballots provisional ballots and numerous of otherchallenges That was year 2014 Now is 2015 not much has changed

in this department and I can understand therecall leadership preoccupation with the

process being fair and just It is no surpriseto me that they couldnrsquot find over threethousand voters they have been accused ofimproper and mishandling of ballots beforeThey didnrsquot count ballots on election nightwhy would we the public believe that theychecked over 8000 signatures in less thana week If in fact they ldquolookedrdquo at eachsignature this was done in less than 30 second

per signature IMPOSSIBLE

We the taxpayers of Lawrence deserve better service regardless whether you arecon or pro the recall The most egregiousmoment for me was when I read in theFacebook page of Riverasrsquos staff hintingthat they have won over the recall effort Or

how the numbers were out in the communitywhen this process was supposed to be a verycondential process

How can we believe in this departmentwith the kind of leaks that were releasedto the community Where is the integrityin the process For godrsquos sake I knew thenumbers before the numbers were made public Although the mayor red Tejeda

hired two of his friends and claimed tohave re structured the department nothinghas really changed This department is stilla mess and Friday conrmed it

The real fun begins now that the Boardof Registrars met on Monday December14 to certify the 4990 signatures that wereveried by the Election Department By

Wednesday at five orsquoclock both groupshave the option to file their objectionsMayor Rivera already said that he wantsan investigation on forgery and fraud eventhough at this point hersquos winning

There are those who think that the

internet came to revolutionize or rather

threaten journalism But in view of what it

is one must conclude that what journalism

needs is to revitalize itself are quality content

as if already at the time it was thought that

radio would unseat the newspaper and then

so did the TV nothing like that happened

So presumably that Internet todayalso is a stage of transition that will leadto genuine journalists to retrain becausequality information is imposed it is the

Journalism todayquality that can compete not sensationalism

The good journalism has to act as a

counter to express freely and not be complacent

with the powerful whether those powers are

advertisers and therefore its supporters

Good journalism has to do a revolutionfrom inside for strength even if it does notgenerate a prot because the benet cannot

be short term Journalists today have to beable to analyze things in depth before theyare communicated and not interested ina ood of information but truthful well

analyzed and explained information

Nadie estaacute inmune a los peligrosde la inuenza o lo que comuacutenmente se

conoce como la ldquogripardquo El antildeo pasado

en su reporte de febrero el Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten y EnfermedadesRespiratorias de los Centros para el Controly Prevencioacuten de Enfermedades (CDC)informoacute que el 61 de los maacutes afectadosfueron personas entre 18 y 64 antildeos de edad Con el anterior reporte el CDCdeshizo el mito de que soacutelo los nintildeos o las personas de la tercera edad son proclives aser afectados por el virus de la inuenza

Asimismo en ese mismo antildeo en la ciudadde Santa Ana una mujer en plenitud de su juventud a los 28 antildeos fallecioacute a causa deuna gripa croacutenica El deceso de esta persona llama muchola atencioacuten pero no es un caso aislado Lo

cierto es que situaciones como eacutesta han idoincrementando con el correr del tiempo Sitomamos en cuenta un periodo de 30 antildeos ndash

entre 1976 y 2006mdash los registros de muertea causa de la inuenza incrementaron desde

3000 a 49000 personas

iquestQueacute es lo que quiere decir el datoanterior Muy simple La inuenza es

una mal que no discrimina el color de lagente el sexo ni mucho menos la edad delas personas En un momento dado todos podemos ser viacutectimas si es que no tomamoslas medidas precautorias para contrarrestareste mal De todo el conjunto de personas quevivimos en los Estados Unidos a menudolas personas con bajos recursos econoacutemicosson los maacutes afectados y los maacutes propensosa tener siacutentomas de inuenza croacutenica

Lamentablemente algunos sectores de la poblacioacuten latina han tenido que soportarlos embates de la inuenza antildeo-tras-antildeo

debido a que en sus comunidades hay pocos programas de concientizacioacuten e informacioacutensobre los peligros de la inuenza Algunos

ni siquiera se enteran de que una vacuna puede ser el arma ideal para abatirla

De acuerdo a los datos del Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten del antildeo anteriorsolo 443 de los nintildeos latinos de seis

meses o mayores fueron vacunados contrala inuenza mientras que en la poblacioacuten

afroamericana es 438 A pesar de que

485 de los nintildeos anglosajones fueronvacunados este dato todaviacutea estaacute pordebajo de las metas establecidas por elgobierno nacional Las disparidades de vacunados entreuno y otro grupo eacutetnico es maacutes visibleen las poblaciones adultas 387 de los

afroamericanos fue vacunado en tanto quelos latinos de 350 y los anglosajones

467 Estos indicadores estadiacutesticos puedesrevertirse si tomamos conciencia denuestra salud Lo maacutes importante es

reconocer que todos somos potencialesviacutectimas de la inuenza Cuanto maacutes

precauciones tomemos y maacutes medidasaplicamos en nuestro diario vivir menores la probabilidad de enfermarnos con unagripa La Dra Anne Schuchat directoradel Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten yEnfermedades Respiratorias del CDC ysubdirectora general del Servicio de SaludPuacuteblica de los Estados Unidos dice que lamayor actividad del virus de la inuenza

Como alcalde y residente de Lawrenceestoy conmocionado y entristecido quePolartec ha hecho el anuncio que hicieronhoy Casi 200 familias de Lawrence se veraacutenafectadas por este cierre y es especialmentedecepcionante escuchar de estos planes eldiacutea antes del 20 aniversario del histoacutericofuego en la faacutebrica Es auacuten maacutes preocupanteque el CEO de Polartec Gary Smith noentregara este mensaje por siacute mismo Siento que los trabajadores y yo fuimosengantildeados porque hace apenas un mesdespueacutes de comprar un negocio similar enTennessee Polartec nos aseguroacute (la Unioacuteny yo) que no iban a hacer exactamente loque estaacuten haciendo en la actualidad Losgobiernos federales estatales y municipaleshicieron un compromiso a largo plazo paralos trabajos de fabricacioacuten en Polartec Esosignicaba que cada vez que Polartec teniacutea

una necesidad o un problema nos traeriacutea a

todos a la mesa para encontrar una forma deavanzar Eso no ocurrioacute en esta ocasioacuten Estoy llamando al CEO Gary Smith para asistir o auspiciar una reunioacuten conmigoy el Alcalde Zanni las delegacionesestatales y federales y representantes de laocina del gobernador para discutir coacutemo

llegaron a esta decisioacuten y lo que puedenhacer para luchar por cada puesto de trabajo para quedarse en Lawrence El cierre de200 puestos de trabajo que se perderaacuten eneste proceso no es algo que Lawrence puedeaceptar

La marca de Polartec se ha convertidoen sinoacutenimo de la idea de que sus productosde alta calidad son realizados por una granfuerza de trabajo y que ellos tienen y hariacuteancualquier cosa por esa fuerza laboral Estaaccioacuten perjudica su marca Por uacuteltimo es necesario que sepan queLawrence no es ajena a situaciones comoesta Si este cierre ocurre seraacute un duro golpe para la ciudad hemos sido derribados antes pero la ciudad y su gente son resistentes ynos levantaremos y perseveraremos

ldquoAs the Mayor and resident ofLawrence I am shocked and saddenedthat Polartec has made the announcementthey did today Almost 200 Lawrencefamilies will be affected by this closureand it is especially disappointing to hearof this development the day before 20 yearanniversary of the historic mill re It is

further troubling that the CEO of PolartecGary Smith did not deliver this messagehimself

I feel that the workers and I were

deceived because just one month ago upon purchasing a similar business in TennesseePolartec reassured us (the Union and I) thatthey would not do exactly what they aredoing today The federal state and citygovernments made a long term commitmentto the manufacturing jobs at Polartec Thatmeant that whenever Polartec had a need oran issue they would bring us all to the tabletogether to gure out a way forward That

did not happen this timeI am calling for CEO Gary Smith

to attend or host a meeting with myselfand Mayor Zanni the State amp Federaldelegations and representatives of theGovernorrsquos ofce to discuss how they came

to this decision and what we can do to ght

for every job to stay in Lawrence Theclose to 200 jobs that will be lost throughthis process is not something Lawrence canaccept

Polartecrsquos brand has becomesynonymous with the concept that theirhigh quality products are made by a greatworkforce and that they have and woulddo anything for that workforce This actioncuts against their brand

Lastly it should be known thatLawrence is no stranger to times like theseIf this closure happens it will be a serious blow to the city we have been knockeddown before but the city and its peopleare resilient and we will get back up and persevere

The more things

change the morethey stay the same The Recall nal numbers surprised us

all 8022 signatures were collected Theleadership was told that the certications

will be done by December 16th howeverthe Election Department certied 4990 of

them in record time by Friday the 10th Therecall leadership is bafed and I understand

why This is the ofce that by Kopelman and

Paigersquos report identied numerous mistakes

bad management and disorganization Thisconsultant found that the election departmentof Lawrence mishandled the process of the2014 elections

The firm criticized the City ofLawrencersquos lack of organization andadequate education of election workersThey made recommendation that Riverared Rafael Tejeda The Kopelman and Paige

report listed numerous election violationsand procedures not being followed Thiscompany portrayed the Election Departmentas a department in shambles and in totalchaos

This report documented the lack ofadequate custody for ballots lack of ballot box security material being stored insideoverstuffed boxes they claimed that theElection Department allowed the publicaccess to the vault where ballots were beingheld on Election Day absentee ballots weresent to the wrong polling places absentee ballots not counted on election night andimproper handling of absentee ballots provisional ballots and numerous of otherchallenges That was year 2014 Now is 2015 not much has changed

in this department and I can understand therecall leadership preoccupation with the

process being fair and just It is no surpriseto me that they couldnrsquot find over threethousand voters they have been accused ofimproper and mishandling of ballots beforeThey didnrsquot count ballots on election nightwhy would we the public believe that theychecked over 8000 signatures in less thana week If in fact they ldquolookedrdquo at eachsignature this was done in less than 30 second

per signature IMPOSSIBLE

We the taxpayers of Lawrence deserve better service regardless whether you arecon or pro the recall The most egregiousmoment for me was when I read in theFacebook page of Riverasrsquos staff hintingthat they have won over the recall effort Or

how the numbers were out in the communitywhen this process was supposed to be a verycondential process

How can we believe in this departmentwith the kind of leaks that were releasedto the community Where is the integrityin the process For godrsquos sake I knew thenumbers before the numbers were made public Although the mayor red Tejeda

hired two of his friends and claimed tohave re structured the department nothinghas really changed This department is stilla mess and Friday conrmed it

The real fun begins now that the Boardof Registrars met on Monday December14 to certify the 4990 signatures that wereveried by the Election Department By

Wednesday at five orsquoclock both groupshave the option to file their objectionsMayor Rivera already said that he wantsan investigation on forgery and fraud eventhough at this point hersquos winning

There are those who think that the

internet came to revolutionize or rather

threaten journalism But in view of what it

is one must conclude that what journalism

needs is to revitalize itself are quality content

as if already at the time it was thought that

radio would unseat the newspaper and then

so did the TV nothing like that happened

So presumably that Internet todayalso is a stage of transition that will leadto genuine journalists to retrain becausequality information is imposed it is the

Journalism todayquality that can compete not sensationalism

The good journalism has to act as a

counter to express freely and not be complacent

with the powerful whether those powers are

advertisers and therefore its supporters

Good journalism has to do a revolutionfrom inside for strength even if it does notgenerate a prot because the benet cannot

be short term Journalists today have to beable to analyze things in depth before theyare communicated and not interested ina ood of information but truthful well

analyzed and explained information

Nadie estaacute inmune a los peligrosde la inuenza o lo que comuacutenmente se

conoce como la ldquogripardquo El antildeo pasado

en su reporte de febrero el Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten y EnfermedadesRespiratorias de los Centros para el Controly Prevencioacuten de Enfermedades (CDC)informoacute que el 61 de los maacutes afectadosfueron personas entre 18 y 64 antildeos de edad Con el anterior reporte el CDCdeshizo el mito de que soacutelo los nintildeos o las personas de la tercera edad son proclives aser afectados por el virus de la inuenza

Asimismo en ese mismo antildeo en la ciudadde Santa Ana una mujer en plenitud de su juventud a los 28 antildeos fallecioacute a causa deuna gripa croacutenica El deceso de esta persona llama muchola atencioacuten pero no es un caso aislado Lo

cierto es que situaciones como eacutesta han idoincrementando con el correr del tiempo Sitomamos en cuenta un periodo de 30 antildeos ndash

entre 1976 y 2006mdash los registros de muertea causa de la inuenza incrementaron desde

3000 a 49000 personas

iquestQueacute es lo que quiere decir el datoanterior Muy simple La inuenza es

una mal que no discrimina el color de lagente el sexo ni mucho menos la edad delas personas En un momento dado todos podemos ser viacutectimas si es que no tomamoslas medidas precautorias para contrarrestareste mal De todo el conjunto de personas quevivimos en los Estados Unidos a menudolas personas con bajos recursos econoacutemicosson los maacutes afectados y los maacutes propensosa tener siacutentomas de inuenza croacutenica

Lamentablemente algunos sectores de la poblacioacuten latina han tenido que soportarlos embates de la inuenza antildeo-tras-antildeo

debido a que en sus comunidades hay pocos programas de concientizacioacuten e informacioacutensobre los peligros de la inuenza Algunos

ni siquiera se enteran de que una vacuna puede ser el arma ideal para abatirla

De acuerdo a los datos del Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten del antildeo anteriorsolo 443 de los nintildeos latinos de seis

meses o mayores fueron vacunados contrala inuenza mientras que en la poblacioacuten

afroamericana es 438 A pesar de que

485 de los nintildeos anglosajones fueronvacunados este dato todaviacutea estaacute pordebajo de las metas establecidas por elgobierno nacional Las disparidades de vacunados entreuno y otro grupo eacutetnico es maacutes visibleen las poblaciones adultas 387 de los

afroamericanos fue vacunado en tanto quelos latinos de 350 y los anglosajones

467 Estos indicadores estadiacutesticos puedesrevertirse si tomamos conciencia denuestra salud Lo maacutes importante es

reconocer que todos somos potencialesviacutectimas de la inuenza Cuanto maacutes

precauciones tomemos y maacutes medidasaplicamos en nuestro diario vivir menores la probabilidad de enfermarnos con unagripa La Dra Anne Schuchat directoradel Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten yEnfermedades Respiratorias del CDC ysubdirectora general del Servicio de SaludPuacuteblica de los Estados Unidos dice que lamayor actividad del virus de la inuenza

se maniesta en las estas de Navidad y

Como alcalde y residente de Lawrenceestoy conmocionado y entristecido quePolartec ha hecho el anuncio que hicieronhoy Casi 200 familias de Lawrence se veraacutenafectadas por este cierre y es especialmentedecepcionante escuchar de estos planes eldiacutea antes del 20 aniversario del histoacutericofuego en la faacutebrica Es auacuten maacutes preocupanteque el CEO de Polartec Gary Smith noentregara este mensaje por siacute mismo Siento que los trabajadores y yo fuimosengantildeados porque hace apenas un mesdespueacutes de comprar un negocio similar enTennessee Polartec nos aseguroacute (la Unioacuteny yo) que no iban a hacer exactamente loque estaacuten haciendo en la actualidad Losgobiernos federales estatales y municipaleshicieron un compromiso a largo plazo paralos trabajos de fabricacioacuten en Polartec Esosignicaba que cada vez que Polartec teniacutea

una necesidad o un problema nos traeriacutea a

todos a la mesa para encontrar una forma deavanzar Eso no ocurrioacute en esta ocasioacuten Estoy llamando al CEO Gary Smith para asistir o auspiciar una reunioacuten conmigoy el Alcalde Zanni las delegacionesestatales y federales y representantes de laocina del gobernador para discutir coacutemo

llegaron a esta decisioacuten y lo que puedenhacer para luchar por cada puesto de trabajo para quedarse en Lawrence El cierre de200 puestos de trabajo que se perderaacuten eneste proceso no es algo que Lawrence puedeaceptar

La marca de Polartec se ha convertidoen sinoacutenimo de la idea de que sus productosde alta calidad son realizados por una granfuerza de trabajo y que ellos tienen y hariacuteancualquier cosa por esa fuerza laboral Estaaccioacuten perjudica su marca Por uacuteltimo es necesario que sepan queLawrence no es ajena a situaciones comoesta Si este cierre ocurre seraacute un duro golpe para la ciudad hemos sido derribados antes pero la ciudad y su gente son resistentes ynos levantaremos y perseveraremos

ldquoAs the Mayor and resident ofLawrence I am shocked and saddenedthat Polartec has made the announcementthey did today Almost 200 Lawrencefamilies will be affected by this closureand it is especially disappointing to hearof this development the day before 20 yearanniversary of the historic mill re It is

further troubling that the CEO of PolartecGary Smith did not deliver this messagehimself

I feel that the workers and I were

deceived because just one month ago upon purchasing a similar business in TennesseePolartec reassured us (the Union and I) thatthey would not do exactly what they aredoing today The federal state and citygovernments made a long term commitmentto the manufacturing jobs at Polartec Thatmeant that whenever Polartec had a need oran issue they would bring us all to the tabletogether to gure out a way forward That

did not happen this timeI am calling for CEO Gary Smith

to attend or host a meeting with myselfand Mayor Zanni the State amp Federaldelegations and representatives of theGovernorrsquos ofce to discuss how they came

to this decision and what we can do to ght

for every job to stay in Lawrence Theclose to 200 jobs that will be lost throughthis process is not something Lawrence canaccept

Polartecrsquos brand has becomesynonymous with the concept that theirhigh quality products are made by a greatworkforce and that they have and woulddo anything for that workforce This actioncuts against their brand

Lastly it should be known thatLawrence is no stranger to times like theseIf this closure happens it will be a serious blow to the city we have been knockeddown before but the city and its peopleare resilient and we will get back up and persevere

The more things

change the morethey stay the same The Recall nal numbers surprised us

all 8022 signatures were collected Theleadership was told that the certications

will be done by December 16th howeverthe Election Department certied 4990 of

them in record time by Friday the 10th Therecall leadership is bafed and I understand

why This is the ofce that by Kopelman and

Paigersquos report identied numerous mistakes

bad management and disorganization Thisconsultant found that the election departmentof Lawrence mishandled the process of the2014 elections

The firm criticized the City ofLawrencersquos lack of organization andadequate education of election workersThey made recommendation that Riverared Rafael Tejeda The Kopelman and Paige

report listed numerous election violationsand procedures not being followed Thiscompany portrayed the Election Departmentas a department in shambles and in totalchaos

This report documented the lack ofadequate custody for ballots lack of ballot box security material being stored insideoverstuffed boxes they claimed that theElection Department allowed the publicaccess to the vault where ballots were beingheld on Election Day absentee ballots weresent to the wrong polling places absentee ballots not counted on election night andimproper handling of absentee ballots provisional ballots and numerous of otherchallenges That was year 2014 Now is 2015 not much has changed

in this department and I can understand therecall leadership preoccupation with the

process being fair and just It is no surpriseto me that they couldnrsquot find over threethousand voters they have been accused ofimproper and mishandling of ballots beforeThey didnrsquot count ballots on election nightwhy would we the public believe that theychecked over 8000 signatures in less thana week If in fact they ldquolookedrdquo at eachsignature this was done in less than 30 second

per signature IMPOSSIBLE

We the taxpayers of Lawrence deserve better service regardless whether you arecon or pro the recall The most egregiousmoment for me was when I read in theFacebook page of Riverasrsquos staff hintingthat they have won over the recall effort Or

how the numbers were out in the communitywhen this process was supposed to be a verycondential process

How can we believe in this departmentwith the kind of leaks that were releasedto the community Where is the integrityin the process For godrsquos sake I knew thenumbers before the numbers were made public Although the mayor red Tejeda

hired two of his friends and claimed tohave re structured the department nothinghas really changed This department is stilla mess and Friday conrmed it

The real fun begins now that the Boardof Registrars met on Monday December14 to certify the 4990 signatures that wereveried by the Election Department By

Wednesday at five orsquoclock both groupshave the option to file their objectionsMayor Rivera already said that he wantsan investigation on forgery and fraud eventhough at this point hersquos winning

There are those who think that the

internet came to revolutionize or rather

threaten journalism But in view of what it

is one must conclude that what journalism

needs is to revitalize itself are quality content

as if already at the time it was thought that

radio would unseat the newspaper and then

so did the TV nothing like that happened

So presumably that Internet todayalso is a stage of transition that will leadto genuine journalists to retrain becausequality information is imposed it is the

Journalism todayquality that can compete not sensationalism

The good journalism has to act as a

counter to express freely and not be complacent

with the powerful whether those powers are

advertisers and therefore its supporters

Good journalism has to do a revolutionfrom inside for strength even if it does notgenerate a prot because the benet cannot

be short term Journalists today have to beable to analyze things in depth before theyare communicated and not interested ina ood of information but truthful well

analyzed and explained information

Nadie estaacute inmune a los peligrosde la inuenza o lo que comuacutenmente se

conoce como la ldquogripardquo El antildeo pasado

en su reporte de febrero el Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten y EnfermedadesRespiratorias de los Centros para el Controly Prevencioacuten de Enfermedades (CDC)informoacute que el 61 de los maacutes afectadosfueron personas entre 18 y 64 antildeos de edad Con el anterior reporte el CDCdeshizo el mito de que soacutelo los nintildeos o las personas de la tercera edad son proclives aser afectados por el virus de la inuenza

Asimismo en ese mismo antildeo en la ciudadde Santa Ana una mujer en plenitud de su juventud a los 28 antildeos fallecioacute a causa deuna gripa croacutenica El deceso de esta persona llama muchola atencioacuten pero no es un caso aislado Lo

cierto es que situaciones como eacutesta han idoincrementando con el correr del tiempo Sitomamos en cuenta un periodo de 30 antildeos ndash

entre 1976 y 2006mdash los registros de muertea causa de la inuenza incrementaron desde

3000 a 49000 personas

iquestQueacute es lo que quiere decir el datoanterior Muy simple La inuenza es

una mal que no discrimina el color de lagente el sexo ni mucho menos la edad delas personas En un momento dado todos podemos ser viacutectimas si es que no tomamoslas medidas precautorias para contrarrestareste mal De todo el conjunto de personas quevivimos en los Estados Unidos a menudolas personas con bajos recursos econoacutemicosson los maacutes afectados y los maacutes propensosa tener siacutentomas de inuenza croacutenica

Lamentablemente algunos sectores de la poblacioacuten latina han tenido que soportarlos embates de la inuenza antildeo-tras-antildeo

debido a que en sus comunidades hay pocos programas de concientizacioacuten e informacioacutensobre los peligros de la inuenza Algunos

ni siquiera se enteran de que una vacuna puede ser el arma ideal para abatirla

De acuerdo a los datos del Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten del antildeo anteriorsolo 443 de los nintildeos latinos de seis

meses o mayores fueron vacunados contrala inuenza mientras que en la poblacioacuten

afroamericana es 438 A pesar de que

485 de los nintildeos anglosajones fueronvacunados este dato todaviacutea estaacute pordebajo de las metas establecidas por elgobierno nacional Las disparidades de vacunados entreuno y otro grupo eacutetnico es maacutes visibleen las poblaciones adultas 387 de los

afroamericanos fue vacunado en tanto quelos latinos de 350 y los anglosajones

467 Estos indicadores estadiacutesticos puedesrevertirse si tomamos conciencia denuestra salud Lo maacutes importante es

reconocer que todos somos potencialesviacutectimas de la inuenza Cuanto maacutes

todos a la mesa para encontrar una forma deavanzar Eso no ocurrioacute en esta ocasioacuten Estoy llamando al CEO Gary Smith para asistir o auspiciar una reunioacuten conmigoy el Alcalde Zanni las delegacionesestatales y federales y representantes de laocina del gobernador para discutir coacutemo

llegaron a esta decisioacuten y lo que puedenhacer para luchar por cada puesto de trabajo para quedarse en Lawrence El cierre de200 puestos de trabajo que se perderaacuten eneste proceso no es algo que Lawrence puedeaceptar

La marca de Polartec se ha convertidoen sinoacutenimo de la idea de que sus productosde alta calidad son realizados por una granfuerza de trabajo y que ellos tienen y hariacuteancualquier cosa por esa fuerza laboral Estaaccioacuten perjudica su marca Por uacuteltimo es necesario que sepan queLawrence no es ajena a situaciones comoesta Si este cierre ocurre seraacute un duro golpe para la ciudad hemos sido derribados antes pero la ciudad y su gente son resistentes ynos levantaremos y perseveraremos

ldquoAs the Mayor and resident ofLawrence I am shocked and saddenedthat Polartec has made the announcementthey did today Almost 200 Lawrencefamilies will be affected by this closureand it is especially disappointing to hearof this development the day before 20 yearanniversary of the historic mill re It is

further troubling that the CEO of PolartecGary Smith did not deliver this messagehimself

I feel that the workers and I were

deceived because just one month ago upon purchasing a similar business in TennesseePolartec reassured us (the Union and I) thatthey would not do exactly what they aredoing today The federal state and citygovernments made a long term commitmentto the manufacturing jobs at Polartec Thatmeant that whenever Polartec had a need oran issue they would bring us all to the tabletogether to gure out a way forward That

did not happen this timeI am calling for CEO Gary Smith

to attend or host a meeting with myselfand Mayor Zanni the State amp Federaldelegations and representatives of theGovernorrsquos ofce to discuss how they came

to this decision and what we can do to ght

for every job to stay in Lawrence Theclose to 200 jobs that will be lost throughthis process is not something Lawrence canaccept

Polartecrsquos brand has becomesynonymous with the concept that theirhigh quality products are made by a greatworkforce and that they have and woulddo anything for that workforce This actioncuts against their brand

Lastly it should be known thatLawrence is no stranger to times like theseIf this closure happens it will be a serious blow to the city we have been knockeddown before but the city and its peopleare resilient and we will get back up and persevere

The more things

change the morethey stay the same The Recall nal numbers surprised us

all 8022 signatures were collected Theleadership was told that the certications

will be done by December 16th howeverthe Election Department certied 4990 of

them in record time by Friday the 10th Therecall leadership is bafed and I understand

why This is the ofce that by Kopelman and

Paigersquos report identied numerous mistakes

bad management and disorganization Thisconsultant found that the election departmentof Lawrence mishandled the process of the2014 elections

The firm criticized the City ofLawrencersquos lack of organization andadequate education of election workersThey made recommendation that Riverared Rafael Tejeda The Kopelman and Paige

report listed numerous election violationsand procedures not being followed Thiscompany portrayed the Election Departmentas a department in shambles and in totalchaos

This report documented the lack ofadequate custody for ballots lack of ballot box security material being stored insideoverstuffed boxes they claimed that theElection Department allowed the publicaccess to the vault where ballots were beingheld on Election Day absentee ballots weresent to the wrong polling places absentee ballots not counted on election night andimproper handling of absentee ballots provisional ballots and numerous of otherchallenges That was year 2014 Now is 2015 not much has changed

in this department and I can understand therecall leadership preoccupation with the

process being fair and just It is no surpriseto me that they couldnrsquot find over threethousand voters they have been accused ofimproper and mishandling of ballots beforeThey didnrsquot count ballots on election nightwhy would we the public believe that theychecked over 8000 signatures in less thana week If in fact they ldquolookedrdquo at eachsignature this was done in less than 30 second

per signature IMPOSSIBLE

We the taxpayers of Lawrence deserve better service regardless whether you arecon or pro the recall The most egregiousmoment for me was when I read in theFacebook page of Riverasrsquos staff hintingthat they have won over the recall effort Or

how the numbers were out in the communitywhen this process was supposed to be a verycondential process

How can we believe in this departmentwith the kind of leaks that were releasedto the community Where is the integrityin the process For godrsquos sake I knew thenumbers before the numbers were made public Although the mayor red Tejeda

hired two of his friends and claimed tohave re structured the department nothinghas really changed This department is stilla mess and Friday conrmed it

The real fun begins now that the Boardof Registrars met on Monday December14 to certify the 4990 signatures that wereveried by the Election Department By

Wednesday at five orsquoclock both groupshave the option to file their objectionsMayor Rivera already said that he wantsan investigation on forgery and fraud eventhough at this point hersquos winning

There are those who think that the

internet came to revolutionize or rather

threaten journalism But in view of what it

is one must conclude that what journalism

needs is to revitalize itself are quality content

as if already at the time it was thought that

radio would unseat the newspaper and then

so did the TV nothing like that happened

So presumably that Internet todayalso is a stage of transition that will leadto genuine journalists to retrain becausequality information is imposed it is the

Journalism todayquality that can compete not sensationalism

The good journalism has to act as a

counter to express freely and not be complacent

with the powerful whether those powers are

advertisers and therefore its supporters

Good journalism has to do a revolutionfrom inside for strength even if it does notgenerate a prot because the benet cannot

be short term Journalists today have to beable to analyze things in depth before theyare communicated and not interested ina ood of information but truthful well

analyzed and explained information

Nadie estaacute inmune a los peligrosde la inuenza o lo que comuacutenmente se

conoce como la ldquogripardquo El antildeo pasado

en su reporte de febrero el Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten y EnfermedadesRespiratorias de los Centros para el Controly Prevencioacuten de Enfermedades (CDC)informoacute que el 61 de los maacutes afectadosfueron personas entre 18 y 64 antildeos de edad Con el anterior reporte el CDCdeshizo el mito de que soacutelo los nintildeos o las personas de la tercera edad son proclives aser afectados por el virus de la inuenza

Asimismo en ese mismo antildeo en la ciudadde Santa Ana una mujer en plenitud de su juventud a los 28 antildeos fallecioacute a causa deuna gripa croacutenica El deceso de esta persona llama muchola atencioacuten pero no es un caso aislado Lo

cierto es que situaciones como eacutesta han idoincrementando con el correr del tiempo Sitomamos en cuenta un periodo de 30 antildeos ndash

entre 1976 y 2006mdash los registros de muertea causa de la inuenza incrementaron desde

3000 a 49000 personas

iquestQueacute es lo que quiere decir el datoanterior Muy simple La inuenza es

una mal que no discrimina el color de lagente el sexo ni mucho menos la edad delas personas En un momento dado todos podemos ser viacutectimas si es que no tomamoslas medidas precautorias para contrarrestareste mal De todo el conjunto de personas quevivimos en los Estados Unidos a menudolas personas con bajos recursos econoacutemicosson los maacutes afectados y los maacutes propensosa tener siacutentomas de inuenza croacutenica

Lamentablemente algunos sectores de la poblacioacuten latina han tenido que soportarlos embates de la inuenza antildeo-tras-antildeo

debido a que en sus comunidades hay pocos programas de concientizacioacuten e informacioacutensobre los peligros de la inuenza Algunos

ni siquiera se enteran de que una vacuna puede ser el arma ideal para abatirla

De acuerdo a los datos del Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten del antildeo anteriorsolo 443 de los nintildeos latinos de seis

meses o mayores fueron vacunados contrala inuenza mientras que en la poblacioacuten

afroamericana es 438 A pesar de que

485 de los nintildeos anglosajones fueronvacunados este dato todaviacutea estaacute pordebajo de las metas establecidas por elgobierno nacional Las disparidades de vacunados entreuno y otro grupo eacutetnico es maacutes visibleen las poblaciones adultas 387 de los

afroamericanos fue vacunado en tanto quelos latinos de 350 y los anglosajones

467 Estos indicadores estadiacutesticos puedesrevertirse si tomamos conciencia denuestra salud Lo maacutes importante es

reconocer que todos somos potencialesviacutectimas de la inuenza Cuanto maacutes

precauciones tomemos y maacutes medidasaplicamos en nuestro diario vivir menores la probabilidad de enfermarnos con unagripa La Dra Anne Schuchat directoradel Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten yEnfermedades Respiratorias del CDC ysubdirectora general del Servicio de SaludPuacuteblica de los Estados Unidos dice que lamayor actividad del virus de la inuenza

se maniesta en las estas de Navidad y

Antildeo Nuevo entre diciembre y febrero Deacuerdo a sus estudios el problema puedeincluso durar hasta mayo En este sentido diversas organizacionesnacionales como el CDC estaacuten en plenacampantildea contra el virus de la inuenza

Como alcalde y residente de Lawrenceestoy conmocionado y entristecido quePolartec ha hecho el anuncio que hicieronhoy Casi 200 familias de Lawrence se veraacutenafectadas por este cierre y es especialmentedecepcionante escuchar de estos planes eldiacutea antes del 20 aniversario del histoacutericofuego en la faacutebrica Es auacuten maacutes preocupanteque el CEO de Polartec Gary Smith noentregara este mensaje por siacute mismo Siento que los trabajadores y yo fuimosengantildeados porque hace apenas un mesdespueacutes de comprar un negocio similar enTennessee Polartec nos aseguroacute (la Unioacuteny yo) que no iban a hacer exactamente loque estaacuten haciendo en la actualidad Losgobiernos federales estatales y municipaleshicieron un compromiso a largo plazo paralos trabajos de fabricacioacuten en Polartec Esosignicaba que cada vez que Polartec teniacutea

llegaron a esta decisioacuten y lo que puedenhacer para luchar por cada puesto de trabajo para quedarse en Lawrence El cierre de200 puestos de trabajo que se perderaacuten eneste proceso no es algo que Lawrence puedeaceptar

La marca de Polartec se ha convertidoen sinoacutenimo de la idea de que sus productosde alta calidad son realizados por una granfuerza de trabajo y que ellos tienen y hariacuteancualquier cosa por esa fuerza laboral Estaaccioacuten perjudica su marca Por uacuteltimo es necesario que sepan queLawrence no es ajena a situaciones comoesta Si este cierre ocurre seraacute un duro golpe para la ciudad hemos sido derribados antes pero la ciudad y su gente son resistentes ynos levantaremos y perseveraremos

ldquoAs the Mayor and resident ofLawrence I am shocked and saddenedthat Polartec has made the announcementthey did today Almost 200 Lawrencefamilies will be affected by this closureand it is especially disappointing to hearof this development the day before 20 yearanniversary of the historic mill re It is

further troubling that the CEO of PolartecGary Smith did not deliver this messagehimself

I feel that the workers and I were

deceived because just one month ago upon purchasing a similar business in TennesseePolartec reassured us (the Union and I) thatthey would not do exactly what they aredoing today The federal state and citygovernments made a long term commitmentto the manufacturing jobs at Polartec Thatmeant that whenever Polartec had a need oran issue they would bring us all to the tabletogether to gure out a way forward That

did not happen this timeI am calling for CEO Gary Smith

to attend or host a meeting with myselfand Mayor Zanni the State amp Federaldelegations and representatives of theGovernorrsquos ofce to discuss how they came

to this decision and what we can do to ght

for every job to stay in Lawrence Theclose to 200 jobs that will be lost throughthis process is not something Lawrence canaccept

Polartecrsquos brand has becomesynonymous with the concept that theirhigh quality products are made by a greatworkforce and that they have and woulddo anything for that workforce This actioncuts against their brand

Lastly it should be known thatLawrence is no stranger to times like theseIf this closure happens it will be a serious blow to the city we have been knockeddown before but the city and its peopleare resilient and we will get back up and persevere

The more things

change the morethey stay the same The Recall nal numbers surprised us

all 8022 signatures were collected Theleadership was told that the certications

will be done by December 16th howeverthe Election Department certied 4990 of

them in record time by Friday the 10th Therecall leadership is bafed and I understand

why This is the ofce that by Kopelman and

Paigersquos report identied numerous mistakes

bad management and disorganization Thisconsultant found that the election departmentof Lawrence mishandled the process of the2014 elections

The firm criticized the City ofLawrencersquos lack of organization andadequate education of election workersThey made recommendation that Riverared Rafael Tejeda The Kopelman and Paige

report listed numerous election violationsand procedures not being followed Thiscompany portrayed the Election Departmentas a department in shambles and in totalchaos

This report documented the lack ofadequate custody for ballots lack of ballot box security material being stored insideoverstuffed boxes they claimed that theElection Department allowed the publicaccess to the vault where ballots were beingheld on Election Day absentee ballots weresent to the wrong polling places absentee ballots not counted on election night andimproper handling of absentee ballots provisional ballots and numerous of otherchallenges That was year 2014 Now is 2015 not much has changed

in this department and I can understand therecall leadership preoccupation with the

process being fair and just It is no surpriseto me that they couldnrsquot find over threethousand voters they have been accused ofimproper and mishandling of ballots beforeThey didnrsquot count ballots on election nightwhy would we the public believe that theychecked over 8000 signatures in less thana week If in fact they ldquolookedrdquo at eachsignature this was done in less than 30 second

per signature IMPOSSIBLE

We the taxpayers of Lawrence deserve better service regardless whether you arecon or pro the recall The most egregiousmoment for me was when I read in theFacebook page of Riverasrsquos staff hintingthat they have won over the recall effort Or

how the numbers were out in the communitywhen this process was supposed to be a verycondential process

How can we believe in this departmentwith the kind of leaks that were releasedto the community Where is the integrityin the process For godrsquos sake I knew thenumbers before the numbers were made public Although the mayor red Tejeda

hired two of his friends and claimed tohave re structured the department nothinghas really changed This department is stilla mess and Friday conrmed it

The real fun begins now that the Boardof Registrars met on Monday December14 to certify the 4990 signatures that wereveried by the Election Department By

Wednesday at five orsquoclock both groupshave the option to file their objectionsMayor Rivera already said that he wantsan investigation on forgery and fraud eventhough at this point hersquos winning

There are those who think that the

internet came to revolutionize or rather

threaten journalism But in view of what it

is one must conclude that what journalism

needs is to revitalize itself are quality content

as if already at the time it was thought that

radio would unseat the newspaper and then

so did the TV nothing like that happened

So presumably that Internet todayalso is a stage of transition that will leadto genuine journalists to retrain becausequality information is imposed it is the

Journalism todayquality that can compete not sensationalism

The good journalism has to act as a

counter to express freely and not be complacent

with the powerful whether those powers are

advertisers and therefore its supporters

Good journalism has to do a revolutionfrom inside for strength even if it does notgenerate a prot because the benet cannot

be short term Journalists today have to beable to analyze things in depth before theyare communicated and not interested ina ood of information but truthful well

analyzed and explained information

Nadie estaacute inmune a los peligrosde la inuenza o lo que comuacutenmente se

conoce como la ldquogripardquo El antildeo pasado

en su reporte de febrero el Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten y EnfermedadesRespiratorias de los Centros para el Controly Prevencioacuten de Enfermedades (CDC)informoacute que el 61 de los maacutes afectadosfueron personas entre 18 y 64 antildeos de edad Con el anterior reporte el CDCdeshizo el mito de que soacutelo los nintildeos o las personas de la tercera edad son proclives aser afectados por el virus de la inuenza

Asimismo en ese mismo antildeo en la ciudadde Santa Ana una mujer en plenitud de su juventud a los 28 antildeos fallecioacute a causa deuna gripa croacutenica El deceso de esta persona llama muchola atencioacuten pero no es un caso aislado Lo

cierto es que situaciones como eacutesta han idoincrementando con el correr del tiempo Sitomamos en cuenta un periodo de 30 antildeos ndash

entre 1976 y 2006mdash los registros de muertea causa de la inuenza incrementaron desde

3000 a 49000 personas

iquestQueacute es lo que quiere decir el datoanterior Muy simple La inuenza es

una mal que no discrimina el color de lagente el sexo ni mucho menos la edad delas personas En un momento dado todos podemos ser viacutectimas si es que no tomamoslas medidas precautorias para contrarrestareste mal De todo el conjunto de personas quevivimos en los Estados Unidos a menudolas personas con bajos recursos econoacutemicosson los maacutes afectados y los maacutes propensosa tener siacutentomas de inuenza croacutenica

Lamentablemente algunos sectores de la poblacioacuten latina han tenido que soportarlos embates de la inuenza antildeo-tras-antildeo

debido a que en sus comunidades hay pocos programas de concientizacioacuten e informacioacutensobre los peligros de la inuenza Algunos

ni siquiera se enteran de que una vacuna puede ser el arma ideal para abatirla

De acuerdo a los datos del Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten del antildeo anteriorsolo 443 de los nintildeos latinos de seis

meses o mayores fueron vacunados contrala inuenza mientras que en la poblacioacuten

afroamericana es 438 A pesar de que

485 de los nintildeos anglosajones fueronvacunados este dato todaviacutea estaacute pordebajo de las metas establecidas por elgobierno nacional Las disparidades de vacunados entreuno y otro grupo eacutetnico es maacutes visibleen las poblaciones adultas 387 de los

afroamericanos fue vacunado en tanto quelos latinos de 350 y los anglosajones

467 Estos indicadores estadiacutesticos puedesrevertirse si tomamos conciencia denuestra salud Lo maacutes importante es

reconocer que todos somos potencialesviacutectimas de la inuenza Cuanto maacutes

The more things

change the morethey stay the same The Recall nal numbers surprised us

all 8022 signatures were collected Theleadership was told that the certications

will be done by December 16th howeverthe Election Department certied 4990 of

them in record time by Friday the 10th Therecall leadership is bafed and I understand

why This is the ofce that by Kopelman and

Paigersquos report identied numerous mistakes

bad management and disorganization Thisconsultant found that the election departmentof Lawrence mishandled the process of the2014 elections

The firm criticized the City ofLawrencersquos lack of organization andadequate education of election workersThey made recommendation that Riverared Rafael Tejeda The Kopelman and Paige

report listed numerous election violationsand procedures not being followed Thiscompany portrayed the Election Departmentas a department in shambles and in totalchaos

This report documented the lack ofadequate custody for ballots lack of ballot box security material being stored insideoverstuffed boxes they claimed that theElection Department allowed the publicaccess to the vault where ballots were beingheld on Election Day absentee ballots weresent to the wrong polling places absentee ballots not counted on election night andimproper handling of absentee ballots provisional ballots and numerous of otherchallenges That was year 2014 Now is 2015 not much has changed

in this department and I can understand therecall leadership preoccupation with the

process being fair and just It is no surpriseto me that they couldnrsquot find over threethousand voters they have been accused ofimproper and mishandling of ballots beforeThey didnrsquot count ballots on election nightwhy would we the public believe that theychecked over 8000 signatures in less thana week If in fact they ldquolookedrdquo at eachsignature this was done in less than 30 second

per signature IMPOSSIBLE

We the taxpayers of Lawrence deserve better service regardless whether you arecon or pro the recall The most egregiousmoment for me was when I read in theFacebook page of Riverasrsquos staff hintingthat they have won over the recall effort Or

how the numbers were out in the communitywhen this process was supposed to be a verycondential process

How can we believe in this departmentwith the kind of leaks that were releasedto the community Where is the integrityin the process For godrsquos sake I knew thenumbers before the numbers were made public Although the mayor red Tejeda

hired two of his friends and claimed tohave re structured the department nothinghas really changed This department is stilla mess and Friday conrmed it

The real fun begins now that the Boardof Registrars met on Monday December14 to certify the 4990 signatures that wereveried by the Election Department By

Wednesday at five orsquoclock both groupshave the option to file their objectionsMayor Rivera already said that he wantsan investigation on forgery and fraud eventhough at this point hersquos winning

There are those who think that the

internet came to revolutionize or rather

threaten journalism But in view of what it

is one must conclude that what journalism

needs is to revitalize itself are quality content

as if already at the time it was thought that

radio would unseat the newspaper and then

so did the TV nothing like that happened

So presumably that Internet todayalso is a stage of transition that will leadto genuine journalists to retrain becausequality information is imposed it is the

Journalism todayquality that can compete not sensationalism

The good journalism has to act as a

counter to express freely and not be complacent

with the powerful whether those powers are

advertisers and therefore its supporters

Good journalism has to do a revolutionfrom inside for strength even if it does notgenerate a prot because the benet cannot

be short term Journalists today have to beable to analyze things in depth before theyare communicated and not interested ina ood of information but truthful well

analyzed and explained information

Nadie estaacute inmune a los peligrosde la inuenza o lo que comuacutenmente se

conoce como la ldquogripardquo El antildeo pasado

en su reporte de febrero el Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten y EnfermedadesRespiratorias de los Centros para el Controly Prevencioacuten de Enfermedades (CDC)informoacute que el 61 de los maacutes afectadosfueron personas entre 18 y 64 antildeos de edad Con el anterior reporte el CDCdeshizo el mito de que soacutelo los nintildeos o las personas de la tercera edad son proclives aser afectados por el virus de la inuenza

Asimismo en ese mismo antildeo en la ciudadde Santa Ana una mujer en plenitud de su juventud a los 28 antildeos fallecioacute a causa deuna gripa croacutenica El deceso de esta persona llama muchola atencioacuten pero no es un caso aislado Lo

cierto es que situaciones como eacutesta han idoincrementando con el correr del tiempo Sitomamos en cuenta un periodo de 30 antildeos ndash

entre 1976 y 2006mdash los registros de muertea causa de la inuenza incrementaron desde

3000 a 49000 personas

iquestQueacute es lo que quiere decir el datoanterior Muy simple La inuenza es

una mal que no discrimina el color de lagente el sexo ni mucho menos la edad delas personas En un momento dado todos podemos ser viacutectimas si es que no tomamoslas medidas precautorias para contrarrestareste mal De todo el conjunto de personas quevivimos en los Estados Unidos a menudolas personas con bajos recursos econoacutemicosson los maacutes afectados y los maacutes propensosa tener siacutentomas de inuenza croacutenica

Lamentablemente algunos sectores de la poblacioacuten latina han tenido que soportarlos embates de la inuenza antildeo-tras-antildeo

debido a que en sus comunidades hay pocos programas de concientizacioacuten e informacioacutensobre los peligros de la inuenza Algunos

ni siquiera se enteran de que una vacuna puede ser el arma ideal para abatirla

De acuerdo a los datos del Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten del antildeo anteriorsolo 443 de los nintildeos latinos de seis

meses o mayores fueron vacunados contrala inuenza mientras que en la poblacioacuten

afroamericana es 438 A pesar de que

485 de los nintildeos anglosajones fueronvacunados este dato todaviacutea estaacute pordebajo de las metas establecidas por elgobierno nacional Las disparidades de vacunados entreuno y otro grupo eacutetnico es maacutes visibleen las poblaciones adultas 387 de los

afroamericanos fue vacunado en tanto quelos latinos de 350 y los anglosajones

467 Estos indicadores estadiacutesticos puedesrevertirse si tomamos conciencia denuestra salud Lo maacutes importante es

reconocer que todos somos potencialesviacutectimas de la inuenza Cuanto maacutes

precauciones tomemos y maacutes medidasaplicamos en nuestro diario vivir menores la probabilidad de enfermarnos con unagripa La Dra Anne Schuchat directoradel Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten yEnfermedades Respiratorias del CDC ysubdirectora general del Servicio de SaludPuacuteblica de los Estados Unidos dice que lamayor actividad del virus de la inuenza

se maniesta en las estas de Navidad y

Antildeo Nuevo entre diciembre y febrero Deacuerdo a sus estudios el problema puedeincluso durar hasta mayo En este sentido diversas organizacionesnacionales como el CDC estaacuten en plenacampantildea contra el virus de la inuenza

The more things

change the morethey stay the same The Recall nal numbers surprised us

all 8022 signatures were collected Theleadership was told that the certications

will be done by December 16th howeverthe Election Department certied 4990 of

them in record time by Friday the 10th Therecall leadership is bafed and I understand

why This is the ofce that by Kopelman and

Paigersquos report identied numerous mistakes

bad management and disorganization Thisconsultant found that the election departmentof Lawrence mishandled the process of the2014 elections

The firm criticized the City ofLawrencersquos lack of organization andadequate education of election workersThey made recommendation that Riverared Rafael Tejeda The Kopelman and Paige

report listed numerous election violationsand procedures not being followed Thiscompany portrayed the Election Departmentas a department in shambles and in totalchaos

This report documented the lack ofadequate custody for ballots lack of ballot box security material being stored insideoverstuffed boxes they claimed that theElection Department allowed the publicaccess to the vault where ballots were beingheld on Election Day absentee ballots weresent to the wrong polling places absentee ballots not counted on election night andimproper handling of absentee ballots provisional ballots and numerous of otherchallenges That was year 2014 Now is 2015 not much has changed

in this department and I can understand therecall leadership preoccupation with the

process being fair and just It is no surpriseto me that they couldnrsquot find over threethousand voters they have been accused ofimproper and mishandling of ballots beforeThey didnrsquot count ballots on election nightwhy would we the public believe that theychecked over 8000 signatures in less thana week If in fact they ldquolookedrdquo at eachsignature this was done in less than 30 second

per signature IMPOSSIBLE

We the taxpayers of Lawrence deserve better service regardless whether you arecon or pro the recall The most egregiousmoment for me was when I read in theFacebook page of Riverasrsquos staff hintingthat they have won over the recall effort Or

how the numbers were out in the communitywhen this process was supposed to be a verycondential process

How can we believe in this departmentwith the kind of leaks that were releasedto the community Where is the integrityin the process For godrsquos sake I knew thenumbers before the numbers were made public Although the mayor red Tejeda

hired two of his friends and claimed tohave re structured the department nothinghas really changed This department is stilla mess and Friday conrmed it

The real fun begins now that the Boardof Registrars met on Monday December14 to certify the 4990 signatures that wereveried by the Election Department By

Wednesday at five orsquoclock both groupshave the option to file their objectionsMayor Rivera already said that he wantsan investigation on forgery and fraud eventhough at this point hersquos winning

There are those who think that the

internet came to revolutionize or rather

threaten journalism But in view of what it

is one must conclude that what journalism

needs is to revitalize itself are quality content

as if already at the time it was thought that

radio would unseat the newspaper and then

so did the TV nothing like that happened

So presumably that Internet todayalso is a stage of transition that will leadto genuine journalists to retrain becausequality information is imposed it is the

Journalism todayquality that can compete not sensationalism

The good journalism has to act as a

counter to express freely and not be complacent

with the powerful whether those powers are

advertisers and therefore its supporters

Good journalism has to do a revolutionfrom inside for strength even if it does notgenerate a prot because the benet cannot

be short term Journalists today have to beable to analyze things in depth before theyare communicated and not interested ina ood of information but truthful well

analyzed and explained information

Nadie estaacute inmune a los peligrosde la inuenza o lo que comuacutenmente se

conoce como la ldquogripardquo El antildeo pasado

en su reporte de febrero el Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten y EnfermedadesRespiratorias de los Centros para el Controly Prevencioacuten de Enfermedades (CDC)informoacute que el 61 de los maacutes afectadosfueron personas entre 18 y 64 antildeos de edad Con el anterior reporte el CDCdeshizo el mito de que soacutelo los nintildeos o las personas de la tercera edad son proclives aser afectados por el virus de la inuenza

Asimismo en ese mismo antildeo en la ciudadde Santa Ana una mujer en plenitud de su juventud a los 28 antildeos fallecioacute a causa deuna gripa croacutenica El deceso de esta persona llama muchola atencioacuten pero no es un caso aislado Lo

cierto es que situaciones como eacutesta han idoincrementando con el correr del tiempo Sitomamos en cuenta un periodo de 30 antildeos ndash

entre 1976 y 2006mdash los registros de muertea causa de la inuenza incrementaron desde

3000 a 49000 personas

iquestQueacute es lo que quiere decir el datoanterior Muy simple La inuenza es

una mal que no discrimina el color de lagente el sexo ni mucho menos la edad delas personas En un momento dado todos podemos ser viacutectimas si es que no tomamoslas medidas precautorias para contrarrestareste mal De todo el conjunto de personas quevivimos en los Estados Unidos a menudolas personas con bajos recursos econoacutemicosson los maacutes afectados y los maacutes propensosa tener siacutentomas de inuenza croacutenica

Lamentablemente algunos sectores de la poblacioacuten latina han tenido que soportarlos embates de la inuenza antildeo-tras-antildeo

debido a que en sus comunidades hay pocos programas de concientizacioacuten e informacioacutensobre los peligros de la inuenza Algunos

ni siquiera se enteran de que una vacuna puede ser el arma ideal para abatirla

De acuerdo a los datos del Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten del antildeo anteriorsolo 443 de los nintildeos latinos de seis

meses o mayores fueron vacunados contrala inuenza mientras que en la poblacioacuten

afroamericana es 438 A pesar de que

485 de los nintildeos anglosajones fueronvacunados este dato todaviacutea estaacute pordebajo de las metas establecidas por elgobierno nacional Las disparidades de vacunados entreuno y otro grupo eacutetnico es maacutes visibleen las poblaciones adultas 387 de los

afroamericanos fue vacunado en tanto quelos latinos de 350 y los anglosajones

467 Estos indicadores estadiacutesticos puedesrevertirse si tomamos conciencia denuestra salud Lo maacutes importante es

reconocer que todos somos potencialesviacutectimas de la inuenza Cuanto maacutes

precauciones tomemos y maacutes medidasaplicamos en nuestro diario vivir menores la probabilidad de enfermarnos con unagripa La Dra Anne Schuchat directoradel Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten yEnfermedades Respiratorias del CDC ysubdirectora general del Servicio de SaludPuacuteblica de los Estados Unidos dice que lamayor actividad del virus de la inuenza

se maniesta en las estas de Navidad y

Antildeo Nuevo entre diciembre y febrero Deacuerdo a sus estudios el problema puedeincluso durar hasta mayo En este sentido diversas organizacionesnacionales como el CDC estaacuten en plenacampantildea contra el virus de la inuenza

The more things

change the morethey stay the same The Recall nal numbers surprised us

all 8022 signatures were collected Theleadership was told that the certications

will be done by December 16th howeverthe Election Department certied 4990 of

them in record time by Friday the 10th Therecall leadership is bafed and I understand

why This is the ofce that by Kopelman and

Paigersquos report identied numerous mistakes

bad management and disorganization Thisconsultant found that the election departmentof Lawrence mishandled the process of the2014 elections

The firm criticized the City ofLawrencersquos lack of organization andadequate education of election workersThey made recommendation that Riverared Rafael Tejeda The Kopelman and Paige

report listed numerous election violationsand procedures not being followed Thiscompany portrayed the Election Departmentas a department in shambles and in totalchaos

This report documented the lack ofadequate custody for ballots lack of ballot box security material being stored insideoverstuffed boxes they claimed that theElection Department allowed the publicaccess to the vault where ballots were beingheld on Election Day absentee ballots weresent to the wrong polling places absentee ballots not counted on election night andimproper handling of absentee ballots provisional ballots and numerous of otherchallenges That was year 2014 Now is 2015 not much has changed

in this department and I can understand therecall leadership preoccupation with the

process being fair and just It is no surpriseto me that they couldnrsquot find over threethousand voters they have been accused ofimproper and mishandling of ballots beforeThey didnrsquot count ballots on election nightwhy would we the public believe that theychecked over 8000 signatures in less thana week If in fact they ldquolookedrdquo at eachsignature this was done in less than 30 second

per signature IMPOSSIBLE

We the taxpayers of Lawrence deserve better service regardless whether you arecon or pro the recall The most egregiousmoment for me was when I read in theFacebook page of Riverasrsquos staff hintingthat they have won over the recall effort Or

how the numbers were out in the communitywhen this process was supposed to be a verycondential process

How can we believe in this departmentwith the kind of leaks that were releasedto the community Where is the integrityin the process For godrsquos sake I knew thenumbers before the numbers were made public Although the mayor red Tejeda

hired two of his friends and claimed tohave re structured the department nothinghas really changed This department is stilla mess and Friday conrmed it

The real fun begins now that the Boardof Registrars met on Monday December14 to certify the 4990 signatures that wereveried by the Election Department By

Wednesday at five orsquoclock both groupshave the option to file their objectionsMayor Rivera already said that he wantsan investigation on forgery and fraud eventhough at this point hersquos winning

There are those who think that the

internet came to revolutionize or rather

threaten journalism But in view of what it

is one must conclude that what journalism

needs is to revitalize itself are quality content

as if already at the time it was thought that

radio would unseat the newspaper and then

so did the TV nothing like that happened

So presumably that Internet todayalso is a stage of transition that will leadto genuine journalists to retrain becausequality information is imposed it is the

Journalism todayquality that can compete not sensationalism

The good journalism has to act as a

counter to express freely and not be complacent

with the powerful whether those powers are

advertisers and therefore its supporters

Good journalism has to do a revolutionfrom inside for strength even if it does notgenerate a prot because the benet cannot

be short term Journalists today have to beable to analyze things in depth before theyare communicated and not interested ina ood of information but truthful well

analyzed and explained information

Nadie estaacute inmune a los peligrosde la inuenza o lo que comuacutenmente se

conoce como la ldquogripardquo El antildeo pasado

en su reporte de febrero el Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten y EnfermedadesRespiratorias de los Centros para el Controly Prevencioacuten de Enfermedades (CDC)informoacute que el 61 de los maacutes afectadosfueron personas entre 18 y 64 antildeos de edad Con el anterior reporte el CDCdeshizo el mito de que soacutelo los nintildeos o las personas de la tercera edad son proclives aser afectados por el virus de la inuenza

Asimismo en ese mismo antildeo en la ciudadde Santa Ana una mujer en plenitud de su juventud a los 28 antildeos fallecioacute a causa deuna gripa croacutenica El deceso de esta persona llama muchola atencioacuten pero no es un caso aislado Lo

cierto es que situaciones como eacutesta han idoincrementando con el correr del tiempo Sitomamos en cuenta un periodo de 30 antildeos ndash

entre 1976 y 2006mdash los registros de muertea causa de la inuenza incrementaron desde

3000 a 49000 personas

iquestQueacute es lo que quiere decir el datoanterior Muy simple La inuenza es

una mal que no discrimina el color de lagente el sexo ni mucho menos la edad delas personas En un momento dado todos podemos ser viacutectimas si es que no tomamoslas medidas precautorias para contrarrestareste mal De todo el conjunto de personas quevivimos en los Estados Unidos a menudolas personas con bajos recursos econoacutemicosson los maacutes afectados y los maacutes propensosa tener siacutentomas de inuenza croacutenica

Lamentablemente algunos sectores de la poblacioacuten latina han tenido que soportarlos embates de la inuenza antildeo-tras-antildeo

debido a que en sus comunidades hay pocos programas de concientizacioacuten e informacioacutensobre los peligros de la inuenza Algunos

ni siquiera se enteran de que una vacuna puede ser el arma ideal para abatirla

De acuerdo a los datos del Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten del antildeo anteriorsolo 443 de los nintildeos latinos de seis

meses o mayores fueron vacunados contrala inuenza mientras que en la poblacioacuten

afroamericana es 438 A pesar de que

485 de los nintildeos anglosajones fueronvacunados este dato todaviacutea estaacute pordebajo de las metas establecidas por elgobierno nacional Las disparidades de vacunados entreuno y otro grupo eacutetnico es maacutes visibleen las poblaciones adultas 387 de los

afroamericanos fue vacunado en tanto quelos latinos de 350 y los anglosajones

467 Estos indicadores estadiacutesticos puedesrevertirse si tomamos conciencia denuestra salud Lo maacutes importante es

reconocer que todos somos potencialesviacutectimas de la inuenza Cuanto maacutes

precauciones tomemos y maacutes medidasaplicamos en nuestro diario vivir menores la probabilidad de enfermarnos con unagripa La Dra Anne Schuchat directoradel Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten yEnfermedades Respiratorias del CDC ysubdirectora general del Servicio de SaludPuacuteblica de los Estados Unidos dice que lamayor actividad del virus de la inuenza

se maniesta en las estas de Navidad y

Antildeo Nuevo entre diciembre y febrero Deacuerdo a sus estudios el problema puedeincluso durar hasta mayo En este sentido diversas organizacionesnacionales como el CDC estaacuten en plenacampantildea contra el virus de la inuenza

The more things

change the morethey stay the same The Recall nal numbers surprised us

all 8022 signatures were collected Theleadership was told that the certications

will be done by December 16th howeverthe Election Department certied 4990 of

them in record time by Friday the 10th Therecall leadership is bafed and I understand

why This is the ofce that by Kopelman and

Paigersquos report identied numerous mistakes

bad management and disorganization Thisconsultant found that the election departmentof Lawrence mishandled the process of the2014 elections

The firm criticized the City ofLawrencersquos lack of organization andadequate education of election workersThey made recommendation that Riverared Rafael Tejeda The Kopelman and Paige

report listed numerous election violationsand procedures not being followed Thiscompany portrayed the Election Departmentas a department in shambles and in totalchaos

This report documented the lack ofadequate custody for ballots lack of ballot box security material being stored insideoverstuffed boxes they claimed that theElection Department allowed the publicaccess to the vault where ballots were beingheld on Election Day absentee ballots weresent to the wrong polling places absentee ballots not counted on election night andimproper handling of absentee ballots provisional ballots and numerous of otherchallenges That was year 2014 Now is 2015 not much has changed

in this department and I can understand therecall leadership preoccupation with the

process being fair and just It is no surpriseto me that they couldnrsquot find over threethousand voters they have been accused ofimproper and mishandling of ballots beforeThey didnrsquot count ballots on election nightwhy would we the public believe that theychecked over 8000 signatures in less thana week If in fact they ldquolookedrdquo at eachsignature this was done in less than 30 second

per signature IMPOSSIBLE

We the taxpayers of Lawrence deserve better service regardless whether you arecon or pro the recall The most egregiousmoment for me was when I read in theFacebook page of Riverasrsquos staff hintingthat they have won over the recall effort Or

how the numbers were out in the communitywhen this process was supposed to be a verycondential process

How can we believe in this departmentwith the kind of leaks that were releasedto the community Where is the integrityin the process For godrsquos sake I knew thenumbers before the numbers were made public Although the mayor red Tejeda

hired two of his friends and claimed tohave re structured the department nothinghas really changed This department is stilla mess and Friday conrmed it

The real fun begins now that the Boardof Registrars met on Monday December14 to certify the 4990 signatures that wereveried by the Election Department By

Wednesday at five orsquoclock both groupshave the option to file their objectionsMayor Rivera already said that he wantsan investigation on forgery and fraud eventhough at this point hersquos winning

There are those who think that the

internet came to revolutionize or rather

threaten journalism But in view of what it

is one must conclude that what journalism

needs is to revitalize itself are quality content

as if already at the time it was thought that

radio would unseat the newspaper and then

so did the TV nothing like that happened

So presumably that Internet todayalso is a stage of transition that will leadto genuine journalists to retrain becausequality information is imposed it is the

Journalism todayquality that can compete not sensationalism

The good journalism has to act as a

counter to express freely and not be complacent

with the powerful whether those powers are

advertisers and therefore its supporters

Good journalism has to do a revolutionfrom inside for strength even if it does notgenerate a prot because the benet cannot

be short term Journalists today have to beable to analyze things in depth before theyare communicated and not interested ina ood of information but truthful well

analyzed and explained information

Nadie estaacute inmune a los peligrosde la inuenza o lo que comuacutenmente se

conoce como la ldquogripardquo El antildeo pasado

en su reporte de febrero el Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten y EnfermedadesRespiratorias de los Centros para el Controly Prevencioacuten de Enfermedades (CDC)informoacute que el 61 de los maacutes afectadosfueron personas entre 18 y 64 antildeos de edad Con el anterior reporte el CDCdeshizo el mito de que soacutelo los nintildeos o las personas de la tercera edad son proclives aser afectados por el virus de la inuenza

Asimismo en ese mismo antildeo en la ciudadde Santa Ana una mujer en plenitud de su juventud a los 28 antildeos fallecioacute a causa deuna gripa croacutenica El deceso de esta persona llama muchola atencioacuten pero no es un caso aislado Lo

cierto es que situaciones como eacutesta han idoincrementando con el correr del tiempo Sitomamos en cuenta un periodo de 30 antildeos ndash

entre 1976 y 2006mdash los registros de muertea causa de la inuenza incrementaron desde

3000 a 49000 personas

iquestQueacute es lo que quiere decir el datoanterior Muy simple La inuenza es

una mal que no discrimina el color de lagente el sexo ni mucho menos la edad delas personas En un momento dado todos podemos ser viacutectimas si es que no tomamoslas medidas precautorias para contrarrestareste mal De todo el conjunto de personas quevivimos en los Estados Unidos a menudolas personas con bajos recursos econoacutemicosson los maacutes afectados y los maacutes propensosa tener siacutentomas de inuenza croacutenica

Lamentablemente algunos sectores de la poblacioacuten latina han tenido que soportarlos embates de la inuenza antildeo-tras-antildeo

debido a que en sus comunidades hay pocos programas de concientizacioacuten e informacioacutensobre los peligros de la inuenza Algunos

ni siquiera se enteran de que una vacuna puede ser el arma ideal para abatirla

De acuerdo a los datos del Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten del antildeo anteriorsolo 443 de los nintildeos latinos de seis

meses o mayores fueron vacunados contrala inuenza mientras que en la poblacioacuten

afroamericana es 438 A pesar de que

485 de los nintildeos anglosajones fueronvacunados este dato todaviacutea estaacute pordebajo de las metas establecidas por elgobierno nacional Las disparidades de vacunados entreuno y otro grupo eacutetnico es maacutes visibleen las poblaciones adultas 387 de los

afroamericanos fue vacunado en tanto quelos latinos de 350 y los anglosajones

467 Estos indicadores estadiacutesticos puedesrevertirse si tomamos conciencia denuestra salud Lo maacutes importante es

reconocer que todos somos potencialesviacutectimas de la inuenza Cuanto maacutes

precauciones tomemos y maacutes medidasaplicamos en nuestro diario vivir menores la probabilidad de enfermarnos con unagripa La Dra Anne Schuchat directoradel Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten yEnfermedades Respiratorias del CDC ysubdirectora general del Servicio de SaludPuacuteblica de los Estados Unidos dice que lamayor actividad del virus de la inuenza

se maniesta en las estas de Navidad y

Antildeo Nuevo entre diciembre y febrero Deacuerdo a sus estudios el problema puedeincluso durar hasta mayo En este sentido diversas organizacionesnacionales como el CDC estaacuten en plenacampantildea contra el virus de la inuenza

The more things

change the morethey stay the same The Recall nal numbers surprised us

all 8022 signatures were collected Theleadership was told that the certications

will be done by December 16th howeverthe Election Department certied 4990 of

them in record time by Friday the 10th Therecall leadership is bafed and I understand

why This is the ofce that by Kopelman and

Paigersquos report identied numerous mistakes

bad management and disorganization Thisconsultant found that the election departmentof Lawrence mishandled the process of the2014 elections

The firm criticized the City ofLawrencersquos lack of organization andadequate education of election workersThey made recommendation that Riverared Rafael Tejeda The Kopelman and Paige

report listed numerous election violationsand procedures not being followed Thiscompany portrayed the Election Departmentas a department in shambles and in totalchaos

This report documented the lack ofadequate custody for ballots lack of ballot box security material being stored insideoverstuffed boxes they claimed that theElection Department allowed the publicaccess to the vault where ballots were beingheld on Election Day absentee ballots weresent to the wrong polling places absentee ballots not counted on election night andimproper handling of absentee ballots provisional ballots and numerous of otherchallenges That was year 2014 Now is 2015 not much has changed

in this department and I can understand therecall leadership preoccupation with the

process being fair and just It is no surpriseto me that they couldnrsquot find over threethousand voters they have been accused ofimproper and mishandling of ballots beforeThey didnrsquot count ballots on election nightwhy would we the public believe that theychecked over 8000 signatures in less thana week If in fact they ldquolookedrdquo at eachsignature this was done in less than 30 second

per signature IMPOSSIBLE

We the taxpayers of Lawrence deserve better service regardless whether you arecon or pro the recall The most egregiousmoment for me was when I read in theFacebook page of Riverasrsquos staff hintingthat they have won over the recall effort Or

how the numbers were out in the communitywhen this process was supposed to be a verycondential process

How can we believe in this departmentwith the kind of leaks that were releasedto the community Where is the integrityin the process For godrsquos sake I knew thenumbers before the numbers were made public Although the mayor red Tejeda

hired two of his friends and claimed tohave re structured the department nothinghas really changed This department is stilla mess and Friday conrmed it

The real fun begins now that the Boardof Registrars met on Monday December14 to certify the 4990 signatures that wereveried by the Election Department By

Wednesday at five orsquoclock both groupshave the option to file their objectionsMayor Rivera already said that he wantsan investigation on forgery and fraud eventhough at this point hersquos winning

There are those who think that the

internet came to revolutionize or rather

threaten journalism But in view of what it

is one must conclude that what journalism

needs is to revitalize itself are quality content

as if already at the time it was thought that

radio would unseat the newspaper and then

so did the TV nothing like that happened

So presumably that Internet todayalso is a stage of transition that will leadto genuine journalists to retrain becausequality information is imposed it is the

Journalism todayquality that can compete not sensationalism

The good journalism has to act as a

counter to express freely and not be complacent

with the powerful whether those powers are

advertisers and therefore its supporters

Good journalism has to do a revolutionfrom inside for strength even if it does notgenerate a prot because the benet cannot

be short term Journalists today have to beable to analyze things in depth before theyare communicated and not interested ina ood of information but truthful well

analyzed and explained information

Nadie estaacute inmune a los peligrosde la inuenza o lo que comuacutenmente se

conoce como la ldquogripardquo El antildeo pasado

en su reporte de febrero el Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten y EnfermedadesRespiratorias de los Centros para el Controly Prevencioacuten de Enfermedades (CDC)informoacute que el 61 de los maacutes afectadosfueron personas entre 18 y 64 antildeos de edad Con el anterior reporte el CDCdeshizo el mito de que soacutelo los nintildeos o las personas de la tercera edad son proclives aser afectados por el virus de la inuenza

Asimismo en ese mismo antildeo en la ciudadde Santa Ana una mujer en plenitud de su juventud a los 28 antildeos fallecioacute a causa deuna gripa croacutenica El deceso de esta persona llama muchola atencioacuten pero no es un caso aislado Lo

cierto es que situaciones como eacutesta han idoincrementando con el correr del tiempo Sitomamos en cuenta un periodo de 30 antildeos ndash

entre 1976 y 2006mdash los registros de muertea causa de la inuenza incrementaron desde

3000 a 49000 personas

iquestQueacute es lo que quiere decir el datoanterior Muy simple La inuenza es

una mal que no discrimina el color de lagente el sexo ni mucho menos la edad delas personas En un momento dado todos podemos ser viacutectimas si es que no tomamoslas medidas precautorias para contrarrestareste mal De todo el conjunto de personas quevivimos en los Estados Unidos a menudolas personas con bajos recursos econoacutemicosson los maacutes afectados y los maacutes propensosa tener siacutentomas de inuenza croacutenica

Lamentablemente algunos sectores de la poblacioacuten latina han tenido que soportarlos embates de la inuenza antildeo-tras-antildeo

debido a que en sus comunidades hay pocos programas de concientizacioacuten e informacioacutensobre los peligros de la inuenza Algunos

ni siquiera se enteran de que una vacuna puede ser el arma ideal para abatirla

De acuerdo a los datos del Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten del antildeo anteriorsolo 443 de los nintildeos latinos de seis

meses o mayores fueron vacunados contrala inuenza mientras que en la poblacioacuten

afroamericana es 438 A pesar de que

485 de los nintildeos anglosajones fueronvacunados este dato todaviacutea estaacute pordebajo de las metas establecidas por elgobierno nacional Las disparidades de vacunados entreuno y otro grupo eacutetnico es maacutes visibleen las poblaciones adultas 387 de los

afroamericanos fue vacunado en tanto quelos latinos de 350 y los anglosajones

467 Estos indicadores estadiacutesticos puedesrevertirse si tomamos conciencia denuestra salud Lo maacutes importante es

reconocer que todos somos potencialesviacutectimas de la inuenza Cuanto maacutes

precauciones tomemos y maacutes medidasaplicamos en nuestro diario vivir menores la probabilidad de enfermarnos con unagripa La Dra Anne Schuchat directoradel Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten yEnfermedades Respiratorias del CDC ysubdirectora general del Servicio de SaludPuacuteblica de los Estados Unidos dice que lamayor actividad del virus de la inuenza

se maniesta en las estas de Navidad y

Antildeo Nuevo entre diciembre y febrero Deacuerdo a sus estudios el problema puedeincluso durar hasta mayo En este sentido diversas organizacionesnacionales como el CDC estaacuten en plenacampantildea contra el virus de la inuenza

The more things

change the morethey stay the same The Recall nal numbers surprised us

all 8022 signatures were collected Theleadership was told that the certications

will be done by December 16th howeverthe Election Department certied 4990 of

them in record time by Friday the 10th Therecall leadership is bafed and I understand

why This is the ofce that by Kopelman and

Paigersquos report identied numerous mistakes

bad management and disorganization Thisconsultant found that the election departmentof Lawrence mishandled the process of the2014 elections

The firm criticized the City ofLawrencersquos lack of organization andadequate education of election workersThey made recommendation that Riverared Rafael Tejeda The Kopelman and Paige

report listed numerous election violationsand procedures not being followed Thiscompany portrayed the Election Departmentas a department in shambles and in totalchaos

This report documented the lack ofadequate custody for ballots lack of ballot box security material being stored insideoverstuffed boxes they claimed that theElection Department allowed the publicaccess to the vault where ballots were beingheld on Election Day absentee ballots weresent to the wrong polling places absentee ballots not counted on election night andimproper handling of absentee ballots provisional ballots and numerous of otherchallenges That was year 2014 Now is 2015 not much has changed

in this department and I can understand therecall leadership preoccupation with the

process being fair and just It is no surpriseto me that they couldnrsquot find over threethousand voters they have been accused ofimproper and mishandling of ballots beforeThey didnrsquot count ballots on election nightwhy would we the public believe that theychecked over 8000 signatures in less thana week If in fact they ldquolookedrdquo at eachsignature this was done in less than 30 second

per signature IMPOSSIBLE

We the taxpayers of Lawrence deserve better service regardless whether you arecon or pro the recall The most egregiousmoment for me was when I read in theFacebook page of Riverasrsquos staff hintingthat they have won over the recall effort Or

how the numbers were out in the communitywhen this process was supposed to be a verycondential process

How can we believe in this departmentwith the kind of leaks that were releasedto the community Where is the integrityin the process For godrsquos sake I knew thenumbers before the numbers were made public Although the mayor red Tejeda

hired two of his friends and claimed tohave re structured the department nothinghas really changed This department is stilla mess and Friday conrmed it

The real fun begins now that the Boardof Registrars met on Monday December14 to certify the 4990 signatures that wereveried by the Election Department By

Wednesday at five orsquoclock both groupshave the option to file their objectionsMayor Rivera already said that he wantsan investigation on forgery and fraud eventhough at this point hersquos winning

There are those who think that the

internet came to revolutionize or rather

threaten journalism But in view of what it

is one must conclude that what journalism

needs is to revitalize itself are quality content

as if already at the time it was thought that

radio would unseat the newspaper and then

so did the TV nothing like that happened

So presumably that Internet todayalso is a stage of transition that will leadto genuine journalists to retrain becausequality information is imposed it is the

Journalism todayquality that can compete not sensationalism

The good journalism has to act as a

counter to express freely and not be complacent

Nadie estaacute inmune a los peligrosde la inuenza o lo que comuacutenmente se

conoce como la ldquogripardquo El antildeo pasado

en su reporte de febrero el Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten y EnfermedadesRespiratorias de los Centros para el Controly Prevencioacuten de Enfermedades (CDC)informoacute que el 61 de los maacutes afectadosfueron personas entre 18 y 64 antildeos de edad Con el anterior reporte el CDCdeshizo el mito de que soacutelo los nintildeos o las personas de la tercera edad son proclives aser afectados por el virus de la inuenza

Asimismo en ese mismo antildeo en la ciudadde Santa Ana una mujer en plenitud de su juventud a los 28 antildeos fallecioacute a causa deuna gripa croacutenica El deceso de esta persona llama muchola atencioacuten pero no es un caso aislado Lo

cierto es que situaciones como eacutesta han idoincrementando con el correr del tiempo Sitomamos en cuenta un periodo de 30 antildeos ndash

entre 1976 y 2006mdash los registros de muertea causa de la inuenza incrementaron desde

3000 a 49000 personas

iquestQueacute es lo que quiere decir el datoanterior Muy simple La inuenza es

una mal que no discrimina el color de lagente el sexo ni mucho menos la edad delas personas En un momento dado todos podemos ser viacutectimas si es que no tomamoslas medidas precautorias para contrarrestareste mal De todo el conjunto de personas quevivimos en los Estados Unidos a menudolas personas con bajos recursos econoacutemicosson los maacutes afectados y los maacutes propensosa tener siacutentomas de inuenza croacutenica

Lamentablemente algunos sectores de la poblacioacuten latina han tenido que soportarlos embates de la inuenza antildeo-tras-antildeo

debido a que en sus comunidades hay pocos programas de concientizacioacuten e informacioacutensobre los peligros de la inuenza Algunos

ni siquiera se enteran de que una vacuna puede ser el arma ideal para abatirla

De acuerdo a los datos del Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten del antildeo anteriorsolo 443 de los nintildeos latinos de seis

meses o mayores fueron vacunados contrala inuenza mientras que en la poblacioacuten

afroamericana es 438 A pesar de que

485 de los nintildeos anglosajones fueronvacunados este dato todaviacutea estaacute pordebajo de las metas establecidas por elgobierno nacional Las disparidades de vacunados entreuno y otro grupo eacutetnico es maacutes visibleen las poblaciones adultas 387 de los

afroamericanos fue vacunado en tanto quelos latinos de 350 y los anglosajones

467 Estos indicadores estadiacutesticos puedesrevertirse si tomamos conciencia denuestra salud Lo maacutes importante es

reconocer que todos somos potencialesviacutectimas de la inuenza Cuanto maacutes

The more things

change the morethey stay the same The Recall nal numbers surprised us

all 8022 signatures were collected Theleadership was told that the certications

will be done by December 16th howeverthe Election Department certied 4990 of

them in record time by Friday the 10th Therecall leadership is bafed and I understand

why This is the ofce that by Kopelman and

Paigersquos report identied numerous mistakes

bad management and disorganization Thisconsultant found that the election departmentof Lawrence mishandled the process of the2014 elections

The firm criticized the City ofLawrencersquos lack of organization andadequate education of election workersThey made recommendation that Riverared Rafael Tejeda The Kopelman and Paige

report listed numerous election violationsand procedures not being followed Thiscompany portrayed the Election Departmentas a department in shambles and in totalchaos

This report documented the lack ofadequate custody for ballots lack of ballot box security material being stored insideoverstuffed boxes they claimed that theElection Department allowed the publicaccess to the vault where ballots were beingheld on Election Day absentee ballots weresent to the wrong polling places absentee ballots not counted on election night andimproper handling of absentee ballots provisional ballots and numerous of otherchallenges That was year 2014 Now is 2015 not much has changed

in this department and I can understand therecall leadership preoccupation with the

process being fair and just It is no surpriseto me that they couldnrsquot find over threethousand voters they have been accused ofimproper and mishandling of ballots beforeThey didnrsquot count ballots on election nightwhy would we the public believe that theychecked over 8000 signatures in less thana week If in fact they ldquolookedrdquo at eachsignature this was done in less than 30 second

per signature IMPOSSIBLE

We the taxpayers of Lawrence deserve better service regardless whether you arecon or pro the recall The most egregiousmoment for me was when I read in theFacebook page of Riverasrsquos staff hintingthat they have won over the recall effort Or

how the numbers were out in the communitywhen this process was supposed to be a verycondential process

How can we believe in this departmentwith the kind of leaks that were releasedto the community Where is the integrityin the process For godrsquos sake I knew thenumbers before the numbers were made public Although the mayor red Tejeda

hired two of his friends and claimed tohave re structured the department nothinghas really changed This department is stilla mess and Friday conrmed it

The real fun begins now that the Boardof Registrars met on Monday December14 to certify the 4990 signatures that wereveried by the Election Department By

Wednesday at five orsquoclock both groupshave the option to file their objectionsMayor Rivera already said that he wantsan investigation on forgery and fraud eventhough at this point hersquos winning

There are those who think that the

internet came to revolutionize or rather

threaten journalism But in view of what it

is one must conclude that what journalism

needs is to revitalize itself are quality content

as if already at the time it was thought that

radio would unseat the newspaper and then

so did the TV nothing like that happened

So presumably that Internet todayalso is a stage of transition that will leadto genuine journalists to retrain becausequality information is imposed it is the

Journalism todayquality that can compete not sensationalism

The good journalism has to act as a

counter to express freely and not be complacent

with the powerful whether those powers are

advertisers and therefore its supporters

Good journalism has to do a revolutionfrom inside for strength even if it does notgenerate a prot because the benet cannot

be short term Journalists today have to beable to analyze things in depth before theyare communicated and not interested ina ood of information but truthful well

analyzed and explained information

Nadie estaacute inmune a los peligrosde la inuenza o lo que comuacutenmente se

conoce como la ldquogripardquo El antildeo pasado

en su reporte de febrero el Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten y EnfermedadesRespiratorias de los Centros para el Controly Prevencioacuten de Enfermedades (CDC)informoacute que el 61 de los maacutes afectadosfueron personas entre 18 y 64 antildeos de edad Con el anterior reporte el CDCdeshizo el mito de que soacutelo los nintildeos o las personas de la tercera edad son proclives aser afectados por el virus de la inuenza

Asimismo en ese mismo antildeo en la ciudadde Santa Ana una mujer en plenitud de su juventud a los 28 antildeos fallecioacute a causa deuna gripa croacutenica El deceso de esta persona llama muchola atencioacuten pero no es un caso aislado Lo

cierto es que situaciones como eacutesta han idoincrementando con el correr del tiempo Sitomamos en cuenta un periodo de 30 antildeos ndash

entre 1976 y 2006mdash los registros de muertea causa de la inuenza incrementaron desde

3000 a 49000 personas

iquestQueacute es lo que quiere decir el datoanterior Muy simple La inuenza es

una mal que no discrimina el color de lagente el sexo ni mucho menos la edad delas personas En un momento dado todos podemos ser viacutectimas si es que no tomamoslas medidas precautorias para contrarrestareste mal De todo el conjunto de personas quevivimos en los Estados Unidos a menudolas personas con bajos recursos econoacutemicosson los maacutes afectados y los maacutes propensosa tener siacutentomas de inuenza croacutenica

Lamentablemente algunos sectores de la poblacioacuten latina han tenido que soportarlos embates de la inuenza antildeo-tras-antildeo

debido a que en sus comunidades hay pocos programas de concientizacioacuten e informacioacutensobre los peligros de la inuenza Algunos

ni siquiera se enteran de que una vacuna puede ser el arma ideal para abatirla

De acuerdo a los datos del Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten del antildeo anteriorsolo 443 de los nintildeos latinos de seis

meses o mayores fueron vacunados contrala inuenza mientras que en la poblacioacuten

afroamericana es 438 A pesar de que

485 de los nintildeos anglosajones fueronvacunados este dato todaviacutea estaacute pordebajo de las metas establecidas por elgobierno nacional Las disparidades de vacunados entreuno y otro grupo eacutetnico es maacutes visibleen las poblaciones adultas 387 de los

afroamericanos fue vacunado en tanto quelos latinos de 350 y los anglosajones

467 Estos indicadores estadiacutesticos puedesrevertirse si tomamos conciencia denuestra salud Lo maacutes importante es

reconocer que todos somos potencialesviacutectimas de la inuenza Cuanto maacutes

precauciones tomemos y maacutes medidasaplicamos en nuestro diario vivir menores la probabilidad de enfermarnos con unagripa La Dra Anne Schuchat directoradel Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten yEnfermedades Respiratorias del CDC ysubdirectora general del Servicio de SaludPuacuteblica de los Estados Unidos dice que lamayor actividad del virus de la inuenza

se maniesta en las estas de Navidad y

Antildeo Nuevo entre diciembre y febrero Deacuerdo a sus estudios el problema puedeincluso durar hasta mayo En este sentido diversas organizacionesnacionales como el CDC estaacuten en plenacampantildea contra el virus de la inuenza

Nadie estaacute inmune a los peligrosde la inuenza o lo que comuacutenmente se

conoce como la ldquogripardquo El antildeo pasado

en su reporte de febrero el Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten y EnfermedadesRespiratorias de los Centros para el Controly Prevencioacuten de Enfermedades (CDC)informoacute que el 61 de los maacutes afectadosfueron personas entre 18 y 64 antildeos de edad Con el anterior reporte el CDCdeshizo el mito de que soacutelo los nintildeos o las personas de la tercera edad son proclives aser afectados por el virus de la inuenza

Asimismo en ese mismo antildeo en la ciudadde Santa Ana una mujer en plenitud de su juventud a los 28 antildeos fallecioacute a causa deuna gripa croacutenica El deceso de esta persona llama muchola atencioacuten pero no es un caso aislado Lo

cierto es que situaciones como eacutesta han idoincrementando con el correr del tiempo Sitomamos en cuenta un periodo de 30 antildeos ndash

entre 1976 y 2006mdash los registros de muertea causa de la inuenza incrementaron desde

3000 a 49000 personas

iquestQueacute es lo que quiere decir el datoanterior Muy simple La inuenza es

una mal que no discrimina el color de lagente el sexo ni mucho menos la edad delas personas En un momento dado todos podemos ser viacutectimas si es que no tomamoslas medidas precautorias para contrarrestareste mal De todo el conjunto de personas quevivimos en los Estados Unidos a menudolas personas con bajos recursos econoacutemicosson los maacutes afectados y los maacutes propensosa tener siacutentomas de inuenza croacutenica

Lamentablemente algunos sectores de la poblacioacuten latina han tenido que soportarlos embates de la inuenza antildeo-tras-antildeo

debido a que en sus comunidades hay pocos programas de concientizacioacuten e informacioacutensobre los peligros de la inuenza Algunos

ni siquiera se enteran de que una vacuna puede ser el arma ideal para abatirla

De acuerdo a los datos del Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten del antildeo anteriorsolo 443 de los nintildeos latinos de seis

meses o mayores fueron vacunados contrala inuenza mientras que en la poblacioacuten

afroamericana es 438 A pesar de que

485 de los nintildeos anglosajones fueronvacunados este dato todaviacutea estaacute pordebajo de las metas establecidas por elgobierno nacional Las disparidades de vacunados entreuno y otro grupo eacutetnico es maacutes visibleen las poblaciones adultas 387 de los

afroamericanos fue vacunado en tanto quelos latinos de 350 y los anglosajones

467 Estos indicadores estadiacutesticos puedesrevertirse si tomamos conciencia denuestra salud Lo maacutes importante es

reconocer que todos somos potencialesviacutectimas de la inuenza Cuanto maacutes

precauciones tomemos y maacutes medidasaplicamos en nuestro diario vivir menores la probabilidad de enfermarnos con unagripa La Dra Anne Schuchat directoradel Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten yEnfermedades Respiratorias del CDC ysubdirectora general del Servicio de SaludPuacuteblica de los Estados Unidos dice que lamayor actividad del virus de la inuenza

se maniesta en las estas de Navidad y

Antildeo Nuevo entre diciembre y febrero Deacuerdo a sus estudios el problema puedeincluso durar hasta mayo En este sentido diversas organizacionesnacionales como el CDC estaacuten en plenacampantildea contra el virus de la inuenza

Nadie estaacute inmune a los peligrosde la inuenza o lo que comuacutenmente se

conoce como la ldquogripardquo El antildeo pasado

en su reporte de febrero el Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten y EnfermedadesRespiratorias de los Centros para el Controly Prevencioacuten de Enfermedades (CDC)informoacute que el 61 de los maacutes afectadosfueron personas entre 18 y 64 antildeos de edad Con el anterior reporte el CDCdeshizo el mito de que soacutelo los nintildeos o las personas de la tercera edad son proclives aser afectados por el virus de la inuenza

Asimismo en ese mismo antildeo en la ciudadde Santa Ana una mujer en plenitud de su juventud a los 28 antildeos fallecioacute a causa deuna gripa croacutenica El deceso de esta persona llama muchola atencioacuten pero no es un caso aislado Lo

cierto es que situaciones como eacutesta han idoincrementando con el correr del tiempo Sitomamos en cuenta un periodo de 30 antildeos ndash

entre 1976 y 2006mdash los registros de muertea causa de la inuenza incrementaron desde

3000 a 49000 personas

iquestQueacute es lo que quiere decir el datoanterior Muy simple La inuenza es

una mal que no discrimina el color de lagente el sexo ni mucho menos la edad delas personas En un momento dado todos podemos ser viacutectimas si es que no tomamoslas medidas precautorias para contrarrestareste mal De todo el conjunto de personas quevivimos en los Estados Unidos a menudolas personas con bajos recursos econoacutemicosson los maacutes afectados y los maacutes propensosa tener siacutentomas de inuenza croacutenica

Lamentablemente algunos sectores de la poblacioacuten latina han tenido que soportarlos embates de la inuenza antildeo-tras-antildeo

debido a que en sus comunidades hay pocos programas de concientizacioacuten e informacioacutensobre los peligros de la inuenza Algunos

ni siquiera se enteran de que una vacuna puede ser el arma ideal para abatirla

De acuerdo a los datos del Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten del antildeo anteriorsolo 443 de los nintildeos latinos de seis

meses o mayores fueron vacunados contrala inuenza mientras que en la poblacioacuten

afroamericana es 438 A pesar de que

485 de los nintildeos anglosajones fueronvacunados este dato todaviacutea estaacute pordebajo de las metas establecidas por elgobierno nacional Las disparidades de vacunados entreuno y otro grupo eacutetnico es maacutes visibleen las poblaciones adultas 387 de los

afroamericanos fue vacunado en tanto quelos latinos de 350 y los anglosajones

467 Estos indicadores estadiacutesticos puedesrevertirse si tomamos conciencia denuestra salud Lo maacutes importante es

reconocer que todos somos potencialesviacutectimas de la inuenza Cuanto maacutes

precauciones tomemos y maacutes medidasaplicamos en nuestro diario vivir menores la probabilidad de enfermarnos con unagripa La Dra Anne Schuchat directoradel Centro Nacional de Inmunizacioacuten yEnfermedades Respiratorias del CDC ysubdirectora general del Servicio de SaludPuacuteblica de los Estados Unidos dice que lamayor actividad del virus de la inuenza

se maniesta en las estas de Navidad y

Antildeo Nuevo entre diciembre y febrero Deacuerdo a sus estudios el problema puedeincluso durar hasta mayo En este sentido diversas organizacionesnacionales como el CDC estaacuten en plenacampantildea contra el virus de la inuenza
