MIKE TOY Bravo, Bocas del Toro............30 SANPERE Weather Broadcast Changes Melodye Pompa reports: The weather broadcasts on single-sideband radio from NMN/NMG are apparently in the midst of change. There is a very human voice now giving the weather broadcasts, instead of “Mechanical Mike”. They also have a new schedule, which you can find at www.nhc.noaa.gov/tafb-atl.sthml. Unfortunately, the schedule posted there is not entirely accurate. The Caribbean weather comes on about ten to 15 minutes into the broadcast, and they appear to have dropped the New England portion but have not moved it to another broad- cast, as stated in the schedule. However, they are still giving information for the Around Grenada Mid-Atlantic (the Carolinas, etcetera) just before the Caribbean. It appears that this New monohull record!............13 new format will allow time slots for tropical weather warnings, position reports and forecasts. That is good news. Previously, you needed to know where a storm was in order to listen to the weather forecast for that area of the world.

Taking advantage of the effects of the green or blue Hawaiian punch, an auction was held on the beach run by Paul “Piggy” Van Beek. This raised about US$1,200. SAILS & CANVAS Donations auctioned off included a beautiful hand-painted chiffon sarong by Liza Kirwan and a delightful watercolour by Maiwenn Beadle.

Lydia Padovani de Ortiz Freddy Pagán Roberto Irizarry Edison Lluch Aidyl Toro PREFACIO Y ahora hay que ponerse de pie y quitarse el sombrero; en Alfredo (Freddy) Pagán Pagán llegamos a la máxima expresión de un Hombre Bueno. Freddy en algún momento de sus primeros años recibió el siguiente encargo de Don Luis Pagán, su señor padre, "...hijo yo quiero mucho a Percha y Haydee, mi deseo es que nunca los olvides y siempre veles por ellos..." Dicho y hecho, ese muchacho se adentró en la vida como un cohete sin nunca olvidar su compromiso, sin esperar mas recompensa que la alegría interna de respetar la voluntad de su señor padre. Sería extremadamente difícil el escribir en un libro todas las cosas que hizo Freddy por mis queridos tíos. Pepe López Madrazo, mi mentor, en una ocasión me dijo que el ser humano tenía que ser agradecido. Yo tengo que darle a Freddy un agradecimiento público de su obra, FREDDY, muchas gracias por todo lo que hiciste. Este libro lo cultivó Freddy, mi tío murió hace 18 años, Freddy recobró los originales, los transcribió, digitalizó y hasta llegó a montarlo en este último libro "Lajas, Ya no escribiré más...” FREDDY, el día que se prenda la mecha que encienda el poderoso cohete Super Titán IV, en el viaje hacia el Lajas Celestial, allí, allí te reunirás con el Gran Lajeño y Percha estará a su lado esperándote con gozo.

Uno de mis propósitos al escribirla fue presentar por escrito todos esos bonitos recuerdos que tengo de mi infancia al mismo tiempo que doy al lector una idea de lo que era la vida en Lajas (y por ende, en Puerto Rico) durante las décadas de 1940, 1950 y 1960. Otro propósito fue el poder transportarme al pasado y a mi pasado, al abrir las páginas de este libro y dar rienda suelta a mi imaginación, y gozarme al recordar aquellos tiempos tan bonitos y tan sanos que nunca jamás volverán. La presente obra, por lo tanto, no fue escrita con fines de lucro. Solo he preparado algunas copias para enviarlas a algunas personas especiales.

  • Kim (Stark) Amberg
    KIM (STARK) AMBERG My impressions about my life adventure in Puerto Rico began, in some way, even before we landed on her shores, I would say. We boarded a ship---a Navy ship, no less—in New York on the tail of Hurricane Donna. It was during this voyage that I got a glimpse of the way the Army does things. Even though there were many sick passengers due to the rough seas, the strict Army regimen prevailed in the way people were allowed to have their meals. It didn’t matter how sick someone was at his designated meal time, if he felt more capable of eating at a time that was not assigned him, he just had to wait until his next assigned time. That was the beginning of what were to be other eye-opening observations of what it meant to be in the Army’s sphere of influence. Others that began that journey with me on the ship were Cathy Sivils and Trevor Williams. One of the ways that I felt the rigor of Army life occurred every evening at dusk. I may have heard “Taps” in my lifetime, but the requirement to stop what you were doing outside and to face the flag while “Taps” played was certainly a new experience. In fairness, if we were inside our homes, that requirement didn’t hold true. The idea of Officers’ Wherry where we lived was also part of the way Army life worked on the base. It was a relatively small, remote area with Front, Middle and Back Streets and small, but adequate, concrete houses lining those streets.

  • November 2014
    A Cultural Publication for Puerto Ricans From the editor . November is Discovery Day in Puerto Rico and is when we should celebrate our roots, as opposed to America’s Hispanic Month that lumps us all together as if we were the one. Columbus discovered Puerto Rico on November 19th 1493, during his second voyage to the New World. He found an island populated by as many as 50,000 Taíno or Arawak Indians known as Taínos. They called the island "Borikén". Columbus named the island San Juan Bautista, in honor of Saint John the Baptist. Later the name was switched to Puerto Rico. Traditionally this has been a month of festive celebrations, but in recent years those that favor their native roots have balked at celebratory efforts.

    Walking Tour of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico Compiled by: Michael Scott, Salisbury University, Salisbury, Maryland ([email protected]) Stop Order and Inspiration: Accurate Communications & Orlando Mergal (www.accuratecommunications.com) Text for locations: Puerto Rico Tourism Company (eyetour.com – also shows videos of each of these sites) Orthophotography: UPR‐Graduate School of Planning, PR Planning Board, VITO Belgium, FugroEarth Data Inc. (gis.otg.gobierno.pr) 1. Plaza de la Dársena & La Casita To the west of the Marina and overlooking the San Juan Bay you’ll find one of the many enjoyable plazas that San Juan has to offer. Plaza de la Dársena is best known for its permanent crafts market usually held on weekends. The ‘small house’ or La Casita in this plaza was originally built for the Department of Agriculture and Commerce and dates back to 1937. It now functions as an information center run by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company. The plaza is also home to a statue of Henry the Navigator, Prince of Portugal. 2. Plaza de Hostos Directly in front of Plaza de la Dársena and La Casita, is La Plaza de Hostos, named after “The Citizen of the Americas” Eugenio María de Hostos. An avid supporter of the independence movement for Puerto Rico and Cuba, Hostos dedicated his life to educational causes, helping Peru and the Dominican Republic in organizing their educational systems as well as advocating women’s rights to higher education. A bust of Hostos adorns this plaza, where you can find numerous food vendors with typical fried treats and sweets, artisans, and locals playing dominos and enjoying the shade.
