“Sentado frente al mar, mil besos yo le di, después le dije adiós, todo termina aquí y ella me dijo así: abrázame y verás, que el mundo es de los dos, salgamos a correr, busquemos el ayer, que nos hizo feliz: Guanaqueeeros, Guanaqueeros, me alejé de ti, sin saber porqué, y yo la dejé sola frente al mar, bajo el cielo azul de Guanaaaco…” Así rezaba una adaptada canción de Los Iracundos, que cantábamos, en los 70s, con guitarreo ya coro, quemando un neumático viejo, en las animadas fogatas de las frías noches veraniegas, en la limpia playa de nuestro querido balneario. “Sitting by the sea, a thousand kisses I gave him, then said goodbye, and it all ends here and told me: hold me and see that the world belongs to both, go out to run, look for yesterday, which made us happy : Guanaqueeeros, Guanaqueeros, I left you, without knowing why, and I left her alone on the beach under the blue sky Guanaaaco … “So said a song adapted from Sam Phillips, who sang in the 70s, with Guitarreo and choir, an old tire burning in the fires of the cold lively summer nights in the clean beach of our beloved resort.
A Guanaqueros se llega por la carretera panamericana, saliendo por La Chimba, pasando por Socos, Quebrada Seca y otros pequeños poblados; para tomar el camino de acceso, que hace unos años, era de tierra, motivo por el cual, siempre llegábamos empolvados como berlines y escupiendo un adobe. A Guanaqueros is reached by the Pan American Highway, exiting at La Chimba, through Socos, Quebrada Seca and other small villages to take the access road, a few years ago, was dirt, why, whenever we got dusty as Saloons and spitting out a adobe.
Es una pequeña caleta de pescadores, que se extiende sobre el borde oriental de los deslindes del Cerro Guanaqueros, dando sus casas en dirección norte al océano pacífico. It is a small fishing creek, which runs on the eastern edge of the boundaries of Mount Guanaqueros, giving their homes north of the Pacific Ocean. Posee una bahía de 17 Km. que incluye los balnearios de Las Mostazas, Morrillos, Las Tacas y Totoralillo. It has a bay of 17 km that includes the resorts of mustards, casks, Las Tacas and Totoralillo. Según el censo del año 2002 cuenta con 1.395 habitantes. According to the 2002 census has 1395 inhabitants. Sus primeros lugareños fueron los D iaguitas , quienes explotaron con medios artesanales los recursos pesqueros y cupríferos que dispone la localidad. His first was the D iaguitas locals, who exploded with fishing craft media and copper resources available locally. El agua es de una temperatura ideal, tibia, con una arena blanca y limpia de contaminantes. Water is an ideal temperature, warm, with clean white sand and pollutants. Es un pueblo tranquilo, que conserva las cosas simples de un pueblo rural. It is a quiet town, which retains the simple things in a rural town. El restaurante “El pequeño” ha sido, por años, el más popular, tanto como el local del suizo, que tiene los únicos juegos de billar, taca-tacas y juegos electrónicos. The restaurant “Little” has been, for years, the most popular, both as local Swiss, who has the only pool games, taca-heels and electronic games.
Si hay algo característico es el “Camping”, que año a año se llenaba de argentinos (cuando tenían el dólar 1=1), principalmente de las provincias de San Juan, Mendoza y San Luis, a quienes les resulta más sencillo y económico venir a nuestro país, que alcanzar a Mar del Plata, Santa Teresita, La Salada, Miramar, Bahía Blanca u otras playas de la costa atlántica. “Mirá, que barato, che…” If there is something peculiar is the “Camping”, which every year was full of Argentines (when they had the dollar 1 = 1), mainly in the provinces of San Juan, Mendoza and San Luis, who find it easier and cheaper to come to our country, which reach Mar del Plata, Santa Teresita, La Salada, Miramar, White Bay and other beaches on the Atlantic coast. “Look, that cheap, che …”
Nuestros días de playa transcurrían con lentitud, disfrutábamos del pescado fresco recién comprado en la caleta, nos exponíamos como ranas al sol, para quedar como zulú, para luego, comenzar a despellejarnos como serpientes. Our beach days passed slowly, enjoyed freshly bought fish in the creek, frogs exposed us to the sun, to read as Zulu, then, begin to skin like snakes. Al bañarnos, siempre era posible sentir, en los pies, las picadas de las jaibas y las machas que estaban a flor de arena. When swimming, it was always possible to feel, feet, the bites of crabs and clams that were on the surface of sand.
Guardo en mi memoria varias escenas inolvidables: las gorditas y gorditos, que todos los días, frente al camping, sudaban con los ejercicios matinales con la ilusión de bajar la pancita. I keep in my memory several unforgettable scenes: the chubby and plump, every day, as opposed to camping, sweating with morning exercises with the illusion of lower tummy. Luego, a media mañana, la llegada de los veraneantes con sus equipos de radio ensordecedores, el despliegue de toallas gigantes y de quitasoles multicolores (todos made in Taiwán), los pedantes de siempre que se instalan a jugar a las paletas justo frente a los que queremos leer tranquilos, los gritos de los cabros de porquería: “Mamá, mírame, me voy a tirar un piquero”, el espectáculo que brindan los pelícanos cuando se lanzan en picada y el canto de las gaviotas armonizado con el ruido de las olas. Then, at midmorning, the arrival of the summer with their deafening radio equipment, deployment of towels and umbrellas giant multicolored (all made in Taiwan), the pedants are installed if palettes play just off the we want to read quietly, the cries of the kids from junk, “Mom, look, I’m going to throw a booby”, the spectacle offered when the pelicans swoop and the seagulls singing in harmony with the sound of the waves . El maní tostado y confitado, los cuchuflí, el pan de nata, las palmeras, el vendedor de diarios, los chocolitos y de piña son los loly-pop, para la sed y el calor y la novedad del año para los regalones, son algunas de las típicas ofertas veraniegas. Peanuts roasted and confit, the cuchuflí, bread, cream, palm trees, the newspaper vendor, the Chocolitos and pineapple are the loly-pop for the thirst and heat and the novelty of the year for giveaways, are some the typical summer deals. Nunca olvidaré las peticiones mutuas para embadurnarnos la espalda con bronceador y al bullicioso grupo que agarra a la amiga fome, que no se quiere meter al agua y es lanzada al mar estrepitosamente, con chinita incluida. I will never forget the requests back to smear each other with sunscreen and the boisterous group that holds to the friend fome, not want to stick to water and is thrown into the sea crashing with chinita included. Todos, protagonistas y espectadores, muertos de la risa. Everyone, players and spectators, dying of laughter.
Guanaqueros tiene el encanto de un clásico balneario de clase media, en donde lo más importante está en disfrutar de playa, cielo, sol y amor, en compañía de la gente que queremos. Guanaqueros has the charm of a classic middle-class spa, where the most important thing is to enjoy the beach, sky, sun and love in the company of people we want.

A la memoria de don Fritz Willy Linderman (El suizo), quien llegó a ser un auténtico guanaquerense, dándole al pueblo un perfil característico con su famosa torre. In memory of Don Fritz Willy Linderman (The Swiss), who became a real guanaquerense, giving the village a distinctive profile with its famous tower.

More rave reviews for Super School News!

See more on: Super School News

Here are five more personal reflections from Super School News alumni.

Abigail M. (participated in 2002)

I was a fifth-grader and this was such an awesome experience! I remember all of our preparations for the broadcast. Everyday at lunch, our news team would write and rehearse and write and rehearse some more, until the big day. It was really neat to find out what made our school so unique. When we got to the PBS station for the taping, all of us were so excited to be on television. I couldn’t wait to represent my school and to see how a TV show was made. The friends I made and the lessons I learned are absolutely unforgettable. Thanks Super School News!

James C. (participated in 2007)

It was a lot of fun to work together on a team, to tour the station, and to celebrate afterwards with lunch at Gunther Tooty’s.

Jen J. (participated in 1984)

My experience at Super 6 School News inspired me to pursue a career in Television Journalism. Imagine, getting bitten by the reporting bug at the age of 10 and never letting go.

People who wonder how I got my start in the business are always amazed when I tell them about Super 6 School News. As I’ve moved from state to state and TV station to TV station, it’s the time I spent learning and news gathering in 1984 that continues to inspire me.
I remember my Grandpa telling the story of attending an Anniversary party, stopping the festivities and turning on Channel 6 to watch his granddaughter’s TV debut. I’m lucky to have that in my memory bank. He never got to see me do the news as an adult.
Thank you Super 6 School News.

Catherine M. (participated in 1995)

I was a very shy fifth grader when I was selected as a student reporter for my school’s newscast. I remember being incredibly nervous when the camera started rolling, but I had practiced my lines so many times, it would have been almost impossible to forget them. Participating in the Super School News program was a great experience and a fun way to learn and grow.

Samantha K.

I just remember having so much fun planning for the newscast. My friend Tim and I got to pick our friends to help us. Our teacher Mr. K was awesome with helping us after school with our newscast. I never actually saw our spot on T.V. I also ended up on crutches at the end of the year so I didn’t get to go to the dinner. But getting to be on T.V. in the 6th grade is still one of my biggest highlights.

[edit] Pacific cults of World War II

The most widely known period of cargo cult activity occurred amongst Pacific islanders in the years during and after World War II. First, the Japanese arrived with a great deal of unknown equipment, and later, Allied forces also used the islands in the same way. The vast amounts of war materiel that was airdropped (or airlifted to airstrips) onto these islands during the Pacific campaign between the Allies and the Empire of Japan necessarily meant drastic changes to the lifestyle of the islanders, many of whom had never seen Westerners or Easterners before. Manufactured clothing, medicine, canned food, tents, weapons, and other useful goods arrived in vast quantities to equip soldiers. Some of it was shared with the islanders who were their guides and hosts. A small number of primitive peoples were observing, often right in front of their dwellings, the largest war ever fought in history, between the most technologically advanced countries.

Missionaries and colonial authorities normally present before World War II were evacuated from combat areas, and the local villagers were deprived of any knowledgeable explanations of these widespread and large scale war activities. Very little fraternization, or at least exchange of knowledge, occurred between US troops and the remote Melanesians. Initially, relations with the Japanese Army were good, but this soon deteriorated into hostility in most regions.

With the end of the war, the airbases were abandoned, and cargo was no longer dropped. In response, cults developed within remote Melanesian populations that promised to bestow the followers with deliveries of food, arms, jeeps, etc., from their own ancestors, or other sources, as had happened to the outsider armies. In attempts to get cargo to fall by parachute or land in planes or ships again, islanders imitated the same practices they had seen the soldiers, sailors, and airmen use. Cult behaviors usually involved mimicking the day to day activities and dress styles of US soldiers, such as performing parade ground drills with wooden or salvaged rifles. They carved headphones from wood and wore them while sitting in fabricated control towers. They waved the landing signals while standing on the runways. They lit signal fires and torches to light up runways and lighthouses. In a form of sympathetic magic, many built life-size replicas of airplanes out of straw and created new military-style landing strips, hoping to attract more airplanes. The cult members thought that the foreigners had some special connection to the deities and ancestors of the natives, who were the only beings powerful enough to produce such riches. Interestingly, there are no reports of villagers mimicking the Japanese army. It was quickly understood by villagers that the white (US) tribe had won the conflict.

Ultimately, although these practices did not bring about the return of the airplanes that brought such marvelous cargo during the war, they did have the effect of eradicating most of the religious practices that had existed prior to the war.[citation needed]

Cargo cults typically were created by individual leaders, or strong men in the Melanesian culture, and it is not at all clear if these leaders were genuine, or were simply running scams on gullible populations. The leaders typically held cult rituals well away from established towns and colonial authorities, thus making reliable information about these practices very difficult to acquire.

[edit] Other uses of the term

From time to time, the term “cargo cult” is invoked as an English language idiom to mean any group of people who imitate the superficial exterior of a process or system without having any understanding of the underlying substance. The error of logic made by the islanders consisted of mistaking a necessary condition for cargo to come flying in (i.e., building airstrips, control towers, etc.), for a sufficient condition for cargo to come flying in, thereby reversing the causation. On a lower level, they repeated the same error by e.g. mistaking a necessary condition for building a control tower (i.e. build something that looks like a control tower), for a sufficient condition for building a control tower.

The inception of cargo cults often is defined as being based on a flawed model of causation, being the confusion between the logical concepts of necessary condition and sufficient condition when aiming to obtain a certain result. Based on this definition, the term “cargo cult” also is used in business and science to refer to a particular type of fallacy whereby ill-considered effort and ceremony take place but go unrewarded due to flawed models of causation as described above. For example, Maoism has been referred to as “cargo cult Marxism”,[citation needed] and New Zealand’s optimistic adoption of liberal economic policies in the 1980s as “cargo cult capitalism”.[citation needed]

The term as an adjective is perhaps best known outside of anthropology because of a speech by physicist Richard Feynman at a Caltech commencement, wherein he referred to “cargo cult science“, and which became a chapter in the book Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!. In the speech, Feynman pointed out that cargo cultists create all the appearance of an airport right down to headsets with bamboo “antennas”, yet the airplanes do not come. Feynman argued that some researchers often produce studies with all the trappings of real science, but which are nonetheless pseudoscience and unworthy of either respect or support.
