Atty. Ben Konop
(ADA, OHIO): Sitting in thecoffee shop across the streetfrom the Ohio Northern Uni-versity campus, Ben Konopcould easily be mistaken for agraduate student taking abreak from his studies. But the28-year-old political activistis a man with a mission, toregain Ohio’s Fourth Congres-sional District seat for thepeople.
Konop has been runningan uphill campaign to de-throne incumbent U.S. Rep.Michael G. Oxley in nextmonth’s election. His cam-paign received more momen-tum earlier this week with anendorsement by the Blade andthe publication by the LimaNews of a poll showing Konopnarrowing the gap amongAllen County voters to a close45-39 with a five-point marginof error.
A graduate of the Univer-sity of Michigan law school,who once worked for Rep.Marcy Kaptur, he is the son ofhighly respected Toledo de-fense attorney Alan Konop. Hisaunt is Sandy Isenberg, theexecutive director of the LucasCounty Democratic Party.
The younger Konop hasbeen successfully hammeringaway at the issue of Oxley’snon-residency in the districthe represents. Combined withserious questions raised aboutOxley’s ethics and his links tocorporate contributors thatwere extensively reported bythe Blade, the 11-term con-gressman is widely consideredto be especially vulnerable thisyear.
The sprawling Fourth Con-gressional District is predomi-
nantly rural but also includesthe cities of Findlay,Mansfield, Lima, and Marionas well as Ada, where Konopresides.
Konop said he has receivedsupport from “the growingHispanic population aroundFindlay,” who have recog-nized and supported his oppo-sition to NAFTA and other freetrade policies.
“I believe in fair trade, notfree trade,” says Konop. “I donot believe NAFTA has beenbeneficial to American work-ers and to workers in this part ofthe country,” he adds, citing alitany of job losses in the manu-facturing-based cities in theFourth District.
“Even Marathon Oil inFindlay has just outsourced200 jobs to India,” he says,pointing to continued erosionof industrial jobs. His oppo-nent is widely known as one ofthe prime supporters of freetrade in Congress.
Neither Konop’s campaignmaterial nor his web site, www.KonopforCongress.com, stresshe is running as the Demo-cratic Party candidate. That’sbecause Konop doesn’t see therace as one to be decided solelyon partisan issues.
“Whether you are a Re-publican, a Democrat, or anindependent, you deserve tohave someone represent youand your community ratherthan the corporate interests,”says Konop.
“My opponent sold out tothe highest bidder and heoperates against the interestsof everyone in the district.Chase Manhattan does nothave a presence in his con-
stituency,” he adds, Konopsays farmers in the districtare as concerned about thelack of adequate health in-surance as are other segmentsof the urban population.
Although Konop findshimself, even as a congres-sional candidate, as the lowestDemocratic candidate on theballot, he believes that themomentum generated by hiscandidacy has burgeoned tothe point where he is now car-rying presidential candidateJohn Kerry on his coattails.
Key to Konop’s continuedsuccess is a number of debateswith his opponent. One of thedebates, to be held in Lima onOct. 27, will be televisedlive. Konop said his opponentonly agreed to the debate afternoting the closeness of thenumbers in the polls.
Born in Ottawa Hills andeducated in the public schoolsystem, Konop practiced lawin Washington, D.C. for threeyears before deciding to returnto Ohio to challenge Oxley. Hereceived his undergraduatedegree from Emory Universityin Atlanta and attended Ox-ford University in England.
He served as a Page in theHouse of Representatives andhas worked for Northern OhioFederal District Court JudgeJames Carr and Ohio CommonPleas Court Judge FredMcDonald.
Ben Konop for Congress:Endorsements, polls bolster hiscandidacy By Alan AbramsLa Prensa Senior Correspondent
Forty-four years ago John Kennedy became the first Catholic elected President of theUnited States. This year TV talking heads speculated whether Barack Obama of Illinoismay someday become the first person of color elected President, but in 1960 there wasprejudice against a Catholic candidate and some used this to obscure the real issues inthe campaign.
Kennedy had to respond to this and did so at a minister’s convention in Houston. Hesaid, “I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute—whereno Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be Catholic) how to act, and noProtestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote—where no church orchurch school is granted any public funds or political preference….”
Kennedy went on to say he believed in a country without an official religion, one ofthe fundamental differences between the U.S. and countries founded earlier, and one“where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the generalpopulace or the public acts of its officials.”
What a long way we’ve come—but in which direction?—reaching 2004 when aCatholic Senator from Massachusetts is again the Democratic candidate for president.
Today, the prejudice against Kerry is not so much from anti-Catholics but from theBishops of the Catholic Church itself. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has comeout strong against Kerry’s support for a woman’s right to choose. Some bishops have evendeclared that Catholic parishioners who vote for a pro-choice candidate will have to goto confession before receiving Communion.
What the Bishops ignore is the stand of Kerry, and other Catholic politicians, on a broadrange of issues important to the Catholic Church. Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois releaseda study, which showed that John Kerry’s Senate record agreed with the Bishops positionon issues 60% of the time, the highest in the Senate.
One of the issues Catholic voters should look at is whether Kerry’s high marks on a longlist of issues is more important than a single—however important—issue. If Kerry standswith you on more issues than he disagrees with you on, and Bush is attacking you oneverything (except one thing) that is important to you, who should you vote for?
Another thing we should all look at is the shift in view on the relationship ofgovernment to religious institutions. Kennedy wanted to protect the First Amendmentand its separation of church and state. Bush has broken that down by granting public fundsto religious institutions. Kennedy wanted no religious organization to push its issues onthe government and general population. Bush owes much to an energetic base that wantsto exert religious control over government. This November the voters will decide whichdirection our country will go.

Letter to the Editor
Latino activists on Tues-day promised to “punish”California Gov. ArnoldSchwarzenegger—the Ter-minator—for his veto oflegislation that would haveallowed illegal immigrantsto obtain drivers licenses.
For their campaign, partof a broader effort to targetSchwarzenegger, the rallyorganizers solicited the do-nation of movies the formeractor starred in—so theycan be ceremonially de-stroyed.
Last month,Schwarzenegger vetoed abill that would have let up totwo million immigrantsdrive legally.
The legislation’s support-ers vowed to go after the gov-ernor. Schwarzenegger hassaid the bill ignored his re-quirement of key securitysafeguards—an identifyingmark that would differenti-ate them from licenses heldby U.S. citizens and legalresidents.
Leaders of Latino Move-
ment USA, a pro-immigrantgroup which led Tuesday’srally of several dozenpeople, want to galvanize astatewide movement.
“We’re going to makeclear that while the Latinocommunity has long beenpassive, the time has cometo fight back,” rally coordi-nator Juan José Gutiérrezsaid.
The group wants to col-lect enough DVDs and videocassettes for a symbolic de-struction in December.

GRAND RAPIDS,Mich. (AP), Oct. 2: Somemigrant workers have suedan Ottawa County blue-berry grower, claimingthey were paid less thanminimum wage, didn’t getpaid for all their hours andwere denied clean waterand adequate rest rooms.
The Michigan MigrantLegal Assistance Project isseeking class-action statusfor the lawsuit, which wasfiled Friday in federalcourt. If approved for class-action status, more than3,000 people who workedat Brady Farms from 1999-2004 could be eligible forcompensation.
“We see this as a pat-tern,” lawyer RobertAlvarez told The GrandRapids Press. “The grower
knows or should know whathappens at every level oftheir operation.”
An attorney for the farm,Elizabeth Skaggs, said shehad not seen the lawsuit andcould not comment.
Alvarez said the legalgroup earlier this year settleda lawsuit on behalf of 43workers for $63,000. The lat-est complaint names ownerRobert Brady, two managersand several people who re-cruited blueberry pickers.
Alvarez said the workerswere not required to fill outfederal payroll forms andgenerally were paid in cash.The lawsuit says wages werereduced by amounts owedto crew leaders for housing,which brought the pay be-low minimum wage.
Some of the two dozen
workers who have signed upas plaintiffs said conditionsin the fields were miserable.
“Sometimes the bath-room was so far that it tooka half-hour to walk there,and then you had to get inline because it was the onlytoilet,” said EsperanzaMatta, 21.
Leticia Infante, 22, saidshe knew toiling in thefields wasn’t easy, but sheexpected better treatment.
“They didn’t have wateror soap to wash our hands,”she said. “People had to (uri-nate) between the plants.”

SAN FRANCISCO (AP):Immigrant children of legalU.S. residents should be al-lowed to stay in the countrypast age 21 while they areseeking visas, a federal ap-peals court ruled Tuesday.
The decision by the 9thU.S. Circuit Court of Ap-peals overturned a Bush ad-ministration regulation andcould affect thousands ofimmigrant families in whichone or both parents had be-come legal U.S. residentsand applied for the samestatus for their children liv-ing abroad.
Under a law passed in
Court overturns Bush Rule ontemporary visas barringmigrant children
2000, children of legal resi-dents, who had been waitingfor at least three years for avisa outside of the UnitedStates, could get a temporaryvisa while waiting for a rulingon their permanent applica-tion.
The law did not specifywhat would happen to thechildren after they turned 21,but Judge James Browningwrote for the unanimousthree-judge panel that thepurpose of the law was “toreunite families of immigrantspetitioning for permanentresidency until thepetitioner’s visa number
comes up.”The ruling resulted from
a Southern California caseof two Filipinos who en-tered with temporary visasshortly before turning 21and were ordered to leavealmost immediately.
The ruling only appliesto children whose parentsapplied for visas for them byDecember 2000.
The government had noimmediate comment.

Lots of doctors meet high standards. But wouldn’t you rather seethe doctor that sets those standards? That’s what you’ll find at theMedical College of Ohio. MCO doctors are professors and researchers,setting the quality benchmark for the entire region. Which is probablywhy so many doctors choose MCO when they need medical care.
Find an MCO physician before you need one. Call MCO at419.383.4444, or if you are outside of Toledo call 800.556.5444.And learn the difference between a good doctor and a great one.
ARIES: (March 21-April 20)Verbalizing your feelings to a loved one could be the best
way to clear the air, providing tact is used. You are feelingquite attractive lately and that feeling is communicated toeveryone else. You are in touch with the guiding impulsesof your nature and enjoy expressing yourself.
TAURUS: (April 21 - May 21)You are very good at keeping secrets, especially about
how you feel about others. Your love relationship may notalways be as harmonious as it appears to others. Enjoyingcompanionship and the sharing of ideas is important, andyou tend to focus on the positive side of everything.
GEMINI: (May 22 - June 21)Beneath your strong, independent exterior lies a desire
for a truly fulfilling relationship. Resist in the temptation toindulge in self-destructive behavior if you become un-happy. Emotional satisfaction can also be found in renewingold friendships.
CANCER: (June 22 - July 23)Although you usually have a significant other, you do
much better on your own. Independence is your motto. Yourreal strength lies in your ever present optimism. Learn tovalue those worse moments of your life and learn from them.You have a natural athletic ability.
LEO: (July 24- August 23)The inherent fatalism that seems to follow you around
may stifle any positive attitudes needed for you to get ahead.Your strength lies in your ability to move forward, so youneed to work on gaining control over your negative thoughts.Being practical and living in the real world are your strongsuits.
VIRGO: (August 24 - September 23)Feeling dependent on others is the type of situation you
steer clear of, especially when it comes to any emotionalrelationships. Since you do quite all right on your own, avoidhermit-like tendencies. Your compassionate nature will getyou into more trouble than it’s worth.
LIBRA: (September 24 - October 23)You have a tendency to keep a lot of good things secret,
especially your accomplishments. Doing some rather unfa-vorable chores for a loved one will result in heartfelt grati-tude. You live in the present and loath dwelling on the past.Don’t whine.
SCORPIO: (October 24 - November 22)You seem to be able to handle just about anything that
may be thrown your way in regards to surprises. By puttinga lot of faith in those you love, it is a shock when someonelets you down. Keep your self-esteem intact and take time outfor yourself too.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 - December 21)Ongoing relationships are a little strained presently, and
new ones are somewhat dubious. Just wait it out and thingswill improve soon. Money is not important to you, but youenjoy having enough so you can do the things you want,without counting the cost.
CAPRICORN: (December 22 - January 20)Being quite a homebody now would be an excellent time
to capitalize on any inclinations you have in that direction.Your love life is quite intense lately. It is especially excitingthat your loved one’s emotional intensity matches or evensurpasses your own.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 - February 19)This week you need to capitalize on your powers of
persuasion and emerge a winner in a business-financialnegotiation—as well as in your love life. You seem to behappier in a relationship than you are alone. But since yourstandards are incredibly high, expect a few dry spells.
PISCES: (February 20 - March 20)Even at the best of times you have to guard against a
tendency to adopt a negative attitude toward life in generaland romance in particular. Whether you know it or not, youare very capable of getting by on your own. Being a fastthinker, you handle sticky situations well.
IF THIS WEEK IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: The main focusfor you right now is on work, meeting your responsibilitiesand health matters. Relationships are important, but youmust stand on your own two feet. Your yearly income willstart improving.
Hallazgos reavivanmisterio de origen de lavida en el continentePor JOHN RICE
MEXICO (AP): Durantedécadas, Federico Solórzanoha recopilado huesos de lasriberas del mayor lago deMéxico; huesos que él mismoha exhumado y otros que lehan traído, huesos de animalesy de seres humanos.
El profesor de antropologíay paleontología revisaba sucolección un día cuando notóalgo que le llamó la atención:una protuberancia ósea fron-tal decolorada por minerales yun trozo de mandíbula que nocoincidía con la de ningúncráneo moderno.
Pero Solórzano halló unacoincidencia perfecta cuandocomparó la primera de las dospiezas con un modelo delHombre de Tautavel del ViejoMundo, miembro de unaespecie–Homo erectus—quemuchos consideranantepasado del modernoHomo sapiens.
Pero se cree que el Homoerectus se extinguió hace100.000 a 200.000 años,decenas de miles de años antesde que se supusiera lapresencia de seres humanosen el continente americano.
Y los arqueólogos nuncahallaron vestigios del Homoerectus en las Américas.
“La mayoría se mostróescéptica y desconcertada”,dijo Robson Bonnichsen, di-rector del Centro para elEstudio de los PrimerosAmericanos en la UniversidadA&M de Texas. “Eso nosignifica que no sea real.Significa que no hay ningunaevidencia comparativa”.
El hallazgo de Solórzanofue detallado en unaconferencia en septiembreaquí que atrajo académicosdel continente y de Europa.
Esa pieza ósea primitivadel Lago Chapala “es única”,dijo Bonnichsen.
Es tan singular —y fuera decontexto— que ha sidomayormente ignoradamientras otrosdescubrimientos planteancuestiones básicas sobre elorigen de los seres humanosen nuestro continente: cuándollegaron y de dónde.
Hasta hace poco, la mayoríade los arqueólogos en EstadosUnidos creía que los primerosseres humanos llegaron alcontinente americano haceunos 13.500 años cuando seabrió un corredor terrestre tem-poral en el Estrecho de Bering.

Recording a debut albumis a daunting task for anynew artist, but pop singer/songwriter Amanda says thebiggest challenge she facedwas finding the right emo-tion.
“Each particular song islike a story and so in order tobe convincing, you have toconvey that message,” saidthe Houston-based singer ina recent interview. “And as asinger, the only vehicle isyour voice. We have no vi-suals to help us so we haveto put everything we haveinto the vocals.”
Amanda, 22, puts on aconvincing performance onher debut self-titled CD onthe Universal Records label.The first single,“Devuélveme la Vida,” hasbeen getting airplay onTejano and Latin pop sta-tions.
“Devuélveme la Vida”has the familiar you-never-loved-or-appreciated-mesentiment. Amanda conveysthe pain of realizing too lateone’s love and devotion hasgone to someone who wasnever really serious.
As Amanda sees it, a goodsinger is like a good actor.
“It (singing) is like act-ing but it’s tougher. You(singer) have to play the rolebut on the record, you onlyhave your voice. We haveno facial expressions, bodylanguage or costuming tohelp us.
“The key is to dig deep tofind that emotion that willhelp the listener catch on to
the story or feel the pain, orremember when they wentthrough the same emotion.”
Amanda has clear dis-tinctive vocals, recalling thedulcet tones of AliciaVillarreal. But Amanda canalso belt out the pain oftorchy heartbreakers such as“Si te Vas,” where she con-templates a future withoutthat special someone.
“We did that song in aminor key so naturally thetone is dramatic and verysad. The theme is about thatsomeone who is leaving youand you know they will al-ways remain in your heart. Itis a difficult situation that Ithink people can relate to.”
Amanda is also asongwriter who’s been writ-ing since she was 16. Shewrote or co-wrote 10 of the13 tracks on the album. Hersongwriting partners in-cluded Yasmil Marrufo andMarc Durandeau, who havewritten and produced No. 1singles for Ricky Martin andChayanne.
On “Hoy,” the new singleto be released next week,Amanda takes the stance ofan independent woman whotells her wayward lout of aboyfriend to go fly a kite.The mid-tempo tune is fu-eled by mariachi-style horns.
The track was inspired bysomething that happenedwhile she was recording thealbum in Miami.
“We were beginningwork on another song whenI got a phone call. It was adisturbing call and it upset
me. I felt unappreciated,which is one of the worstfeelings anyone can everhave.”
Like most songwriters,Amanda used that experi-ence to help her finish thesong at home.
“It’s the story of lov-ing someone but gettingtired of their lies so I wrote,‘This is the day I wake upand move on without you.’”
Despite her youth,Amanda’s strengths are “heramazing voice and her atti-tude,” said veteran Miami-based producer RodolfoCastillo, who has workedwith Paulina Rubio andJulio Iglesias.
“She has a great range asa singer, which is rareamong singers. Amanda isa leader when it comes toknowing what she wants.But she is also a follower inthe sense that she is open toideas, and that is very im-portant.”
Castillo co-produced thealbum with IkerGastaminza, Juan CarlosRodriguez, GabrielCandiani and Amanda.
“As a new artist, the re-cording of this album wasan immense step forward inmy career,” she said. “Iwanted to be sure that I wasgiven some creative con-trol and able to truly givethe audience a legitimateview of who I am.
“I didn’t expect to haveas much say as I did butluckily the team I workedwith at Universal honestly
believed in my talent as asinger/songwriter and al-lowed me to just let the cre-ative juices flow.”
Amanda has been busy inrecent weeks. Besides hercontinuing radio promo-tional tour, she also per-formed at the Latin GrammysStreet Party in Houston withAlicia Machado, Akwid andEliseo Robles. She is also theartist of the month at SanAntonio’s KXTN-FM, whereshe is getting medium rota-tion.
She will be in Puerto Ricosoon to film the video for“Hoy,” and as a songwriter,she recently signed on withBMG Publishing.

rector, spoke as part of a panelon diversity and economicdevelopment at the LevinCollege of Urban Affairs atCleveland State Universityon Friday.
Molina spoke effectivelyabout cultural solidarity,Great Lakes Innovation & De-velopment Enterprise(GLIDE), Lorain County Part-nership, and the meaningfulinclusion of the Latino com-munity.
In his prepared remarks,he presents the idea that cul-ture helps a group resist so-cial and economic subordi-nation to a dominant major-ity. He feels that solidaritygives the members of minor-ity groups the confidence toorganize and take risks po-litically and economically.He insists Latinos must usethe cultural values of respectand honor in its rise to politi-cal importance.
Molina also spoke aboutthe private/public partner-ship of the Lorain CountyCommissioners, LorainCounty Community Col-lege, and Lorain CountyChamber of Commerce,called GLIDE, which is lo-cated on the communitycollege’s campus.
The project is designed tohelp businesses grow eitherfrom an idea or for expan-sion. GLIDE’s services in-clude: business idea assess-ments, technology and staff-ing support, access to legalcounsel, education, businessmanagement mentoring, ac-cess to capital, and strategicbusiness guidance.
Molina announced thatLorain County Chamber ofCommerce and Team LorainCounty will form a newgroup called Lorain CountyGrowth partnership.
Molina finished his re-marks by including statisticsthat indicate that the Latinocommunity in Ohio grew by55% in the 1990s and thatLatinos represent more than10% of the Lorain andCuyahoga County com-bined population. He esti-mates that there are over46,000 Latino voters inLorain and Cuyahoga. Suchlarge and growing numbersof Latinos in two neighbor-ing counties demand thatequitable planning in re-gionalism, smart growth andshopping center develop-ment must include Latinoperspectives in meaningfulway.

Felipe Perez, right, holds the Estrella award while posing with his wife, Herlinda,far left, and keynote speaker, Guadalupe G. Lara, after the Estrella Award presentation.
A Spanish radio programhost from Findlay was therecipient of the 2004 EstrellaAward at Terra CommunityCollege.
Felipe Pérez was honoredlast week during an awarddinner at the college. TheEstrella, Award is given an-nually to celebrate NationalHispanic Heritage Month.
Pérez was born in San An-tonio, Texas in 1930 to Gerardoand Carmen Pérez of Coahuila,México. At 15, he became “theman of the house” for his threesisters and mother when hisfather died.
In 1953, Pérez marriedHerlinda Casiano and twoyears later, they moved to Ohiowhere they have lived eversince. They have seven chil-dren, 21 grandchildren, andfour great-grandchildren.
With few organized edu-cational opportunities, Péreztaught himself to speak, read,
and write in English. He even-tually obtained his GED andin 1966, began working forthe State of Ohio’s MigrantRest Center in Liberty Center.
At about the same time,Pérez secured an hour or twoevery weekend on WFIN inFindlay to announce Latinomusic. Knowing the Latinocommunity in Findlay as hedid, he understood their needfor a such radio program thatwould help break down barri-ers for the Spanish-speakingpopulation.
Since 1971, Pérez has beenannouncing dedications onWFOB in Fostoria on Satur-day evenings.
Pérez retired from the Mi-grant Rest Center in 1974 buthas continued to be an advo-cate for the migrant popula-tion.
A devote Catholic, Pérezwas a member of theGuadalupe Society in Findlay
for ten years. He received anaward last year from the His-panic Awareness Club ofFostoria for his years of servicevia the radio to the Latino com-munity.
The Estrella award was es-tablished to honor an area indi-vidual for outstanding charac-ter, citizenship and commu-nity service. The previous win-ners of the Estrella Award are:
2000: Narciso Rodríguez,Fremont
2001: Juan SalvadorOlalde, Port Clinton
2002: María Guadalupe“Lupe” López (posthu-mously), Fostoria
2003: Jesus “Jesse”Zambrano, Fremont
The keynote speaker for theevent was Guadalupe G. Lara,MSW, CSW, the Director ofthe Division of Family andCommunity Support Servicesat the Children’s Hospital ofMichigan.

Considerada unamercancía que no debe serusada como instrumento depresión política, losalimentos se venden, sinembargo, bajo fuertecondiciones como el pagoen contado.
Pese a ello al arroz se sumóla adquisición de pollos,huevos, frijoles y hastachicles.

concepción de que losClovis fueron los primeros.La evidencia de lo quepudo haber habido antessigue siendo escasa,dispersa y controversial.Los arqueólogos hanpropuesto posibles rutasalternativas alcontinente—por el OcéanoPacífico desde Asia o Aus-tralia, por el Atlánticodesde Europa o Dafrica—,aunque la mayoría cree quelo más probable es desde elnordeste del Asia, quizáspor grupos que sedesplazaron a lo largo deuna costa helada enpequeñas embarcaciones.
I n v e s t i g a d o r e ssudamericanos dicen haberhallado numerosos sitiosde 10.000 a 15.000 años deantig Juedad y sostienenque los Clovis no pudieron
Breves(Continued from Page 5)
haber migrado hasta elextremo del continente enTierra del Fuego, en elextremo sur de Sudamérica,tan pronto después que elcorredor libre de hielo sedesprendió del Asia hastaAlaska.
La arqueóloga argentinaLaura Miotti coincide enque los migrantes llegaronprobablemente del norte.Pero ella y otros dicen queno se han registradohallazgos similares a lo delos Clovis en las partes deAsia de la quesupuestamente proceden, yse preguntan por qué lossitios en el norte de Américano parecen ser más antiguosque los del sur delcontinente.
La evidencia de losprimeros seres humanos enlas Américas, aunqueescasa, es fascinante.Incluye, entre otras cosas:
-Una posible espátulacon manchas de sangreque data de hace más de34.000 años hallada enMonte Verde, Chile.
-Posibles herramientasde piedra encontradas enBrasil con antig Juedad de40.000 a 50.000 años.
-Un informe todavía nopublicado sobre restoshumanos de hace unos28.000 años cerca dePuebla, en el centro deMéxico.
Y lo que es máselocuente es que unamayoría de arqueólogosestá convencida de que unsegundo sitio en MonteVerde data de por lo menos14.000 años, unos 500años antes de que se abrierael puente terrestre desde elAsia unos 15.000kilómetros al norte.
Pero las fechas siguensiendo cuestionadas.
