Llico y el exceso de brillo

PERSONAJES E HISTORIAS LLICANAS
Leyendas
1. Habíamos escuchado una leyenda sobre un hermoso caballo blanco que aparecía en el mar cada cierto tiempo el cual traía abundancia de mariscos. Tratamos de comprobarlo preguntando a distintas personas en el pueblo. La mayoría nunca había escuchado nada al respecto, a excepción de una señora que nos dijo: “Aah, el burro de los choros.”
2. Alrededor del año 1800, se instaló un hotel en la orilla del mar, para acoger a las familias que llegaban en barco desde tierras lejanas. En ese tiempo la familia Mujica tenía gran poder y grandes extensiones tierras en el pueblo, al igual que la familia Veneciane. Se comentaba, según Patricio, que Don Osvaldo Mujica tenía un pacto con el diablo, siendo así muy común que penaran. Dice una leyenda que ciertas noches oscuras, un señor con chupalla llegaba al antiguo hotel montado en su caballo; entraba al bar y se tomaba unas copas. Luego salía y corría en su caballo. Nadie pudo nunca retener su cara.
3. Don Waldo trabaja actualmente en la municipalidad de Vichuquén. El nos cuenta que el pueblo llicano se caracteriza por tener actitudes piratas y villanas. Si bien él dice que nunca arribaron piratas , todos en el pueblo son piratas, dice. Cuenta Don Waldo que hace mucho tiempo un cacique llicano traicionó a su pueblo peleando a favor de los españoles y luego combatiendo contra los mapuches en el sur del país. Dice que los llicanos son villanos por excelencia.
Historias / hechos
1. Don Cisne Ojeda es un ex campeón de tiro al blanco. Su lugar de origen es Romeral, actualmente vive en Santa Cruz, y de vez en cuando visita su casa en Llico. Él dice que su tatarabuelo fue un pirata de verdad. Su casa ubicada en el cerro, una de las únicas en ese sector, tiene forma de barco. Cuentan que Don Cisne hace fiestas en su casa donde todos van vestidos de pirata.
2. La fiesta de San pedro en Llico es uno de los eventos mas importantes del año. La tradición viene de la familia Navarro, los cuales la celebraban en familia hace muchos años atrás. Poco a poco, la fiesta se comenzó a masificar y hace ya cuatro años es un gran evento típico del lugar. Consiste en una procesión donde participan todos los habitantes de Llico recorriendo en botes desde el mar hasta el “puente de la Conaf”. Luego de la procesión, se hace un gran cocimiento en la orilla del mar; este cocimiento se trata de un gran contenedor de fierro, donde se cocina para todo el pueblo simultáneamente, alrededor de 1500 porciones. El cocimiento se compone de 1 ternero, 1 chancho, almejas, choros, locos, piures, pescado de roca, papas; todo esto en abundante agua de mar y vino blanco.
3. La ex capilla de Llico llevaba el nombre de un antiguo misionero, luego fue llamada Inmaculada Concepción.
4. Durante el gobierno de José Manuel Balmaceda aproximadamente en el 1890, Llico tuvo un proyecto emblemático. En esos tiempos, en Llico se trabajan muchos cereales como el trigo y se exportaba a otros territorios transportado por barcos. El proyecto consistía en construir un gran muelle para recibir a los barcos que transportaban la materia prima. La extensión del muelle no fue suficiente para llevar a cabo el funcionamiento de los barcos; por lo que se propuso alargar el muelle 80 mts para que fuese eficiente , pero el plan fue rechazado. El proyecto del puerto en Llico terminó siendo una pasarela de paseo para los escasos veraneantes del lugar.
5. Proyecto puerto Llico:
A) Según Internet: http://www.ramalcuricolicanten.4t.com/ : Durante el gobierno de Balmaceda, hubo planes de hacer un trazado ferroviario desde Curico a la localidad costera de LLico; en donde se planeaba construir una gran base naval con conexión al Lago Vichuquén; las naves llegarían al puerto de Llico y entrarían, por un estrecho canal a las aguas del lago, en donde estaría la base. Pero un incendio en las dependencias en donde se archivaban estos documentos, hizo que la gran obra se estancara y se archivara por un tiempo. A pesar de que en Llico ya se había construido el muelle, se opto por trasladar el proyecto de la base a la octava región.
B) Según Gonzalo Domínguez, arquitecto-arqueólogo: -Durante el gobierno de Balmaceda, en Llico hubo un proyecto de la armada chilena de hacer del lago Vichuquén un refugio para la naviera chilena, en caso de emergencia o situaciones de guerra. El plan era construir el Llico una entrada para los barcos, agrandando el cauce. La idea existió hasta que el capitán de la armada dijo “ Pensar en hacer esto, es de locos. Basta con que un barco enemigo cruce la entrada, y los barcos quedan atrapados en la laguna”.-
C) Según atractivafm.blogspot.com: La historia de Chile señala que el Muelle de Llico fue construido en el gobierno de Balmaceda en hierro forjado desde donde zarparon los más importantes cargamentos de cereales a Estados Unidos en el tiempo de la fiebre del oro en California del cual hoy solo quedan vestigios, de un pasado esplendoroso.

Relato sobre Llico.terremoto.Sr Cisternas
Three quakes later, man still standing
'Life has a mind of her own'
Monique Plessas, National Post Published: Saturday, April 10, 2010
If surviving three earthquakes makes you some type of expert, then Jose "Pepe" Cisternas has acquired the designation.
He was just 14 in 1939, when his house in Coronel, Chile, came tumbling down in a matter of seconds and he pulled his adoptive mother out of the ruins.
Twenty-one years later, a 9.5-magnitude earthquake rocked Chile and triggered a tsunami. At the time, the accountant, aged 34, with a wife and two children, was living in Valdivia, and just 160 kilo-metres from the epicentre of the quake. His house survived.
Mr. Cisternas eventually returned to the town where he was born -- the small fishing village of Llico -- because it is where he wanted to die.
Then on Feb. 27, Chile was hit by an 8.8-magnitude earthquake. A tsunami swept over Llico and destroyed all but one of the houses on his street. His was the only one left standing on Avenida Central.
"I've lived through three earthquakes now," the 84-year-old man beams proudly. "I know the key is to stay calm and open your eyes and that's what I've done every time."
This week the Chilean government announced that 486 people died in the February quake and tsunami and that $30-billion worth of damage was caused.
On Monday, the government is beginning a "United Chile Rebuilds Better" program for people to apply for subsidies to rebuild their homes. Official numbers say 370,000 homes were damaged.
Small villages such as Llico were particularly hard hit. There are less than 1,000 people in Llico and more than 800 of them are now homeless and living in makeshift tents. Seventeen campsites have sprouted around town.
Mr. Cisternas was born in Llico in 1926 but was sent away to live with his aunt when he was three months old. He finally returned "home" 15 years ago. "I've travelled and worked all over this country, from north to south, but I knew I had to come back because this is where I wanted to rest my bones," he said.
The tsunami that hit on Feb. 27 might have claimed his life if a neighbour hadn't begged him to take him to the hills.
"The shaking [after the earthquake] finally stopped and I sat down to take a moment and recompose my thoughts, when a loud knock made me jump off my chair," he said. "My neighbour came to ask me to take him to the hills with my truck and kept telling me the sea was coming. He was so agitated and scared, I didn't want to have his death on my conscience and at his insistence, drove him up to the hills and stayed there with him."
During his second quake, Mr. Cisternas also lived through a tsunami, but he recalls the sea being more tempered back then. In February, it was terrifying. "This time was different: The sea was violent and unforgiving," he said.
"I don't know why my house is still standing, I only know it shouldn't be," he said, looking outside his bedroom window at the second floor of another house that sits on what used to be his driveway.
He gives a tour of his house, but not before making himself "presentable," taking off his hat and running a small black comb kept in his back pocket through his white hair. His shirt is neatly pressed and he still carries a pen clipped to his shirt pocket, still looking much like an accountant.
The house has been turned upside down. When he gets to his bedroom, he bends down to pick up a painting. Wiping the dried seaweed and sand off with his hands, he sits down on top of the debris on his bed and stares at the canvas.
"My wife, Ximena, paints these, I've been trying to find all of them and clean them before she comes home." She was away visiting family in a nearby town when the earthquake hit.
Mr. Cisternas says his anxiety spikes around seven o'clock every night and it gets worse after curfew as the silence slowly takes over the town. "I sleep alone in this big house, my windows have all been shattered and the silence is deafening. I start imagining horrific things and try desperately to find something to distract me until I can finally fall asleep."
He knows he's had people come into his house when he wasn't there. One morning his daughter brought him a steamed chicken for dinner, while he was out getting water. It was stolen from his dining room table along with a handgun. "I would never kill anyone, but I needed to know it [the handgun] was there. It was the only thing that allowed me to close my eyes and fall asleep at night."
He knows he has to leave Llico, his dream of retiring in the fishing village no longer possible. He plans on giving his house to a family who have lost everything. Then he'll move away to the city.
"You can plan all you want, but life has a mind of her own," he says. "I will be long gone from this world when Llico is finally Llico again."
