Come gomi with meby Dick Duerksen, director of Mission Development

There are few garage sales inYokohama, Japan. Instead, stacksof “treasures” are placed at thecurb so that others may choosewhat they need. By evening, mostcurbs are clean, and many needyare satisfied. There is no advertis-ing in The Sentinel, no exchange of“garage sale cash,” no barteringover values. Just giving andreceiving. And smiling.

It’s not quite that way in America.We assume that everything is ofgreat value, and believe that wemust squeeze that value out beforeit leaves our possession. We standbeside the road and sell t-shirts at“3 for a dollar,” argue over thevalues of non-working chain sawsand watch strangers haul off oldcouches in the back of brokenstation wagons. We’re sellers andbuyers, each knowing we couldhave gotten “a bit more for thecouch,” or certain that “she wouldhave taken less for the couch.”

The American philosophy saysthat garage sales are the ultimatefront line of capitalism. My garagesale job is to collect the mostmoney possible from stuff that hasbecome useless to me, but mayhave residual value for you.

The Japanese philosophy isquite different. The “Gomi” processassumes that when I am not usingsomething, there must be some-one else who could use it. So, Ileave it at the curb, knowing the“right person” will come along, seethe treasure and take it home inthankfulness.

There are nice stacks on thecurbs. Carefully arranged pieces offurniture stand beside hangers ofcrisply pressed clothes. There arenon-working televisions, with notestaped to them describing theproblem and wishing the newowner good luck with the repairs.“Treasures” move freely, bringinghonor to the givers and elicitinggratitude from the receivers.

We like the Gomi way. So,Brenda and I have been leavingstuff at the curb – on non-trashdays. Some patio chairs, a box ofgarden tools, all simple things thatonce had great meaning to us, butnow would have greater value toothers. One day I watched throughthe blinds as several cars stopped,checked out the stack, took whatthey needed and motored off. Whenonly grass remained, I smiled, myheart full of satisfaction.

If you have a curb, cover it withsome of your “unused treasures,”things you can surely do without,things that could make life easierand better for someone else. Testthe Gomi crowd and see whatdisappears.

If you do not have a curb, callAMVETS. Or ring up the SalvationArmy, or one of the other organiza-tions that serve as surrogateGomiers around your home. Ourcommunities are populated with agrowing crowd of folks who coulduse some of the “too much” wehave.

The process could start atsunami of gratitude.

Did you know:• One unit of blood can help up to four people.• Every pint of blood collected by the Central

Florida Blood Bank undergoes 18 hours ofprocessing, testing and labeling. During thistesting, every pint goes through 10 screening testsbefore being transfused. Blood drawn is usuallytransfused within 36 hours of collection.

• Between two and eight units of blood are usedin a hip replacement surgery.

Just the facts...This special section has grown out of the

wake of the September 11 attacks. For thenext few months, The Times will report thefacts on biochemical agents and weapons.For this issue, the focus is smallpox.

What is smallpox?Smallpox is caused by the variola virus.

Initial symptoms include high fever, fatigue,and head and back aches. Smallpox ischaracterized with a rash, most prominent onthe face, arms, and legs. The rash starts withflat red lesions that evolve at the same rate.Lesions become pus-filled and begin tocrust early in the second week.

Is smallpox contagious?Smallpox is spread from one person to

another by infected saliva droplets thatexpose a susceptible person having face-to-face contact with the ill person. Persons withsmallpox are most infectious during the firstweek of illness.

Is there treatment available forsmallpox?

In people exposed to smallpox, thevaccine can lessen the severity of or evenprevent illness if given within 4 days afterexposure. If needed, the vaccine can beobtained from the CDC.

Is death associated with smallpox?The majority of patients with smallpox

recover, but death can occur in up to 30% ofcases.

The events of September 11 havehad a notable impact across ournation. Feelings of grief and thedisruption in our sense of safety hasbeen associated with reactions ofsadness, irritability, difficulty concen-trating, and insomnia.

The effects of the terrorist attackson our mental, emotional, andphysical functioning can be under-stood from the perspective of ourbiological stress response system.When we perceive threat of any type,a complex set of physical changescalled the “fight or flight” response isinitiated. This stress response isdesigned to mobilize the body fordefense in the face of a “life or death”situation.

In such situations, physicalstrength is needed to either escape(flight) or protect yourself (fight).Mental alertness also increases toenhance monitoring of our environ-ment for signs of danger. Whereasthis response is ideal for promotingsurvival in a life or death situation,when threat is not imminent or is of apsychological nature, these reactionsincrease one’s sensitivity to possiblethreats, creates a state of wear andtear on the body, inhibits the body’srestorative functions, and contributesto stress-related illness.

Taking control of the body’s stressresponse begins with evaluating thesource of threat. The fight or flightresponse often occurs in reaction to“psychological” stressors (excessive

demands placed on us, socialconflicts, etc.) rather than truephysical (“life or death”) stressors.The media’s excessive focus ondramatic, attention grabbing eventsamplifies our perception of threat.

Consequently, the first thing wecan do to reduce our stress re-sponse is to appreciate the strongmedia bias toward fear engenderinginformation and counteract the alarmthis creates by taking a morebalanced perspective.

In addition, it is beneficial to limitexposure to threatening informationand avoid watching the news nearbedtime as the stress responsegenerated will interfere with sleep.

Next, as the stress responsedrives you to take action, do what youcan to help (a financial or blooddonation). Engage frequently insocial/recreational activities that arehealthy distractions from stress andmaintain supportive connections withyour family, friends, and church.

Use exercise and relaxationtechniques to turn off the body’sstress response directly. Moreover,use prayer to surround yourself withthe security your faith provides andmaintain a spiritual perspective.

Finally, spend more time withyour family and establish familyroutines to give children a sense ofpredictable security. Regular use ofthese strategies will improve yourmood, enhance your performance,and promote optimal health.

Managing the threat of terrorismAmerican Spirit DayIn remembrance of theevents of September 11and in recognition ofthose currently servingour country, Administra-tion has approved aspecial American SpiritDay.

On Monday, November 12, in observanceof Veteran’s Day, all employees are encouragedto show their American spirit by wearing red,white and blue.

Also, for this day only, employees may wear ashirt which features an American flag, as part oftheir professional work attire. T-shirts arepermitted, but no jeans or shorts.
