Cholera kills thousands of Latin Americans who lack clean water
By Mauricio Rios Kansan staff writer
Poverty can make health conditions worse in some Latin American countries, said a representative of the League of Red Cross and Red Crescent.

Cholera is an example of the impact of poverty on health. Cholera is a social
Juan Jose Hurtado, regional health coordinator for Latin America, spoke about the devastation of cholera, a disease that dehydrates the body, to about 60 people last night at Fraser Hall.
Kansan staff writer
Hurtado, who graduated from KU in 1971 with a master's degree in anthropology, said Latin America had more refugees than any other country in January with 900 resulting in death.

comes from bacteria in water and food, especially vegetables, he said.
Cholera is an infectious disease that
A person with cholera can die from dehydration within a few hours. One symptom is vomiting. The treatment is drinking clean water.
*Cholera is an example of the impact of poverty on health.* Hurtado and other researchers
The lack of running water and adequate waste disposal are two major reasons for health problems in Latin America, he said.
"No one has calculated how much time people spend trying to get water," Hurtado said, adding that people in the city often use buckets to line lines with their buckets to get water.
"Of course, conditions of the people are terrible," he said.
Governments invest more money in the military than in health care, Hurtado said.
But multinational corporations also are a trademark, he said.
Industries are contaminating rivers
and drinking water and using insecticides forbidden in other countries, he said.
Meanwhile, cholera is spreading quickly into Colombia, Hurtadosaid.
By the year 2000, Mexico City will have 24 million people, Hurtado said. The population now is 19.5 million.
Another drawback is that the urban population in Latin American countries is growing rapidly, he said. This is particularly true because it is available for people living in cities.
Rural areas also are in bad shape, facing insufficient housing, health care and education.
"Being without water is something you have to experience to understand," he said.
Officials fight to keep Lawrence in 2nd District
Hurtado said that education could be part of the solution.
"They need to teach people good habits to protect themselves and to have safe water," he said. "No one should die from cholera."

TOPEKA — Lawrence and Douglas County officials went to Teopaka last night to convince a state legislative task force that the county should not be put into a different Congressional district.
After the last census, Kansas lost a Congressional representative because of a population decrease. The state's population to so far into four districts rather than five.
hattan.
Local government officials are concerned that Douglas County will be put into the 3rd Congressional District with Johnson County. Douglas County currently is in the 2nd Congressional District, along with Topeka and Man-
Dave Evans, Lawrence Chamber of Commerce representative, told a task force for the Joint Standing Committee on Apportionment that Douglas County should remain in the 2nd district. He said that the University of Bentley benefited from having two representatives support its interests in Congress.
A representative from the 2nd Congressional District is able to fulfill the needs of the Lawrence campus, while the representative from the 3rd District can address the concerns of the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Evans said Haskell Indian Junior College also would be helped because a large American Indian population lived in the 2nd District.
He also said Douglas County should remain in the same district because it already had changed districts after the 1980 census.
If the county is moved to the 3rd District, it could be switched back in 10 years because Douglas County and Johnson County are two of the fastest growing counties in the state, Evans said.
State Rep. Vince Snowbarger, R-Olathe, disagreed with this reasoning. He said Douglas County might not be switched again and moved to a city in this year.
State Sen. Ben Vidricksen, R-Salina, said Douglas County should be put into the same district as Johnson County because many University students came from Johnson County.
He said he opposed the argument that Lawrence and Manhattan should be in the same Congressional district because of that similar needs as university towns.
Many Kansas State University students come from the western part of the state, while KU attracts students from Johnson County, Vidricksen said.
State Rep. Joan Adam, D-Atchison, and head of the task force, said it would present maps of proposed districts to the full committee Nov. 21. The proposed maps have Douglas County in either the 2nd or 3rd district.
She said the committee hoped to have a proposal chosen by the beginning of the legislative session in January.
