semana del refugio nacional / el Refugio nacional de Vida Silvestre de Vieques celebró en grande la Semana nacional de Refugios, con una Casa Abierta, donde participaron alrededor de 500 visitantes. Las escuelas y grupos que nos visitaron fueron: escuela María M.

por: Mary Capraa Jugarel 17 de noviembre durante el medio día, se
celebró en el inn on the blue Horizon, un campa-mento de tenis para niños viequenses en honor a la memoria de Susan Wilson, quien amó a Vieques y al tenis y estaba muy interesada en alentar a los jóvenes de la isla para que lograran grandes cosas. A los nueve novatos se les habló del espíritu dinámico de Susan Wilson y su lema para jugar cada partido como si fuera “por todo el dinero del mundo”. Los jóvenes estuvieron atentos, entusiastas y demostraron cierta aptitud.
Como una grata coincidencia, todos los partici-pantes recibieron una camiseta con un logo diseñado por Susan originalmente a ser utilizado por el Club de tenis de Vieques, pero igualmente adecuado para el Campamento de tenis de Vieques.
Mark Martin, Ric gifford y Mary Capra organizaron el evento, que fue auspiciado por Duffy’s, Hacienda tama-rino, Weddings in Vieques y el inn on the blue Horizon, junto con el Club de tenis de Vieques.
Miembros del club continuarán llevando a cabo sesiones para los interesados los sábados en la mañana de 9 a 11. todos los niños de Vieques entre las edades de 10 a 16 están invitados a formar parte; todo lo que necesitan es deseo de aprender el juego y un par de tenis.

on november 17th a half-day tennis camp for viequense kids was held at the inn on the blue Horizon to honor the memory of Susan Wilson, who loved Vieques and tennis and was very interested in encouraging island youth to achieve great things. the nine novices were informed of Susan’s dynamic spirit and her motto to play as if every game were “for all the money in the world.” the kids were atten-tive, enthusiastic and showed some promise.
As a nice coincidence, all of the participants received a tee shirt sporting a logo designed by
de Vieques, y el de Culebra visitaron la escuela ecológica de Culebra, donde se ofreció a los estudi-antes de 4to, 5to y 6to grado un taller de las Arenas de Culebra. Además, nuestro Refugio participó en la actividad de Servidores Públicos que se llevó a cabo en la escuela Juanita Rivera Albert y Montesori. Agradecemos a todas las personas que nos visi-taron y estén en sintonía para más actividades.

Members of the club will continue to host sessions for interested players on Saturday mornings from 9 to 11. All Vieques kids, ages 10 to 16, are invited to take part; all they need is a desire to learn the game and a pair of sneakers.

el club rotario de vieQuesVieques tiene varias organizaciones que trabajan afanosamente para beneficio de nuestra comuni-dad, tales como Alcanzando el Éxito, el Fideicomiso de Conservación e Historia de Vieques, la Sociedad Protectora de Animales de Vieques, entre otras. Ahora, con la creación del Club Rotario de Vieques, contamos con una organización internacional de servicio comunitario de gran alcance y soporte mundial. el nuevo club se une a los 33 ya existentes en Puerto Rico y a más de 33,000 a nivel mundial - todos donando de su tiempo y talento para servir y fortalecer a sus comunidades y al mundo.
el Club Rotario de Fajardo ha prestado ayuda en Vieques ayudando al club de Vieques a establecer sus credenciales con el Distrito 7000 (Puerto Rico). Los miembros fundadores en Vieques decidieron centrar sus esfuerzos en apoyar a las iniciativas comunitarias existentes, especialmente los que se dedican a ayudar a la juventud de Vieques en su bi-enestar y desarrollo. uno de los primeros proyectos ha sido con la Liga Atlética Policiaca, una iniciativa sustentada por la Policía, en la cual 70 niños partici-pan en un programa deportivo luego del horario de clases. en apoyo al Programa y al Agente benjamín, los rotarios donaron botellas reusables, hielo y gatorade. Cada uno de los atletas tiene su nombre escrito en una botella, que además de calmar su sed, les enseña la responsabilidad personal y el reciclaje, para reducir la acumulación de basura en la hermosa isla nena.
en conjunto con los rotarios internacionales, el Club ha logrado conseguir, transportar y donar una nueva mesa de operaciones al hospital de Vieques. gracias a este donativo, el modelo actual de 30 años de edad, fue reemplazado por un equipo moderno sin costo extra. es aquí donde el alcance global de los rotarios internacionales entra en acción; proyec-tos similares se han llevado a cabo en San Juan y Haití, mediante la ayuda de capítulos de Puerto Rico.
originalmente fundado en Chicago en 1905, los Rotarios internacionales han crecido hasta llegar a ser una organización mundial muy eficaz. La Fundación es auspiciada por Fideicomisos y rotarios de todo el mundo y administra un gran fondo que se utiliza para ayudar con proyectos a nivel mundial que persiguen los objetivos del Club. La Fundación recientemente financió una de las iniciativas más importantes de salud en la historia - la erradicación de la enfermedad del polio. Rotarios de California están trabajando con rotarios de Puerto Rico en 12 proyectos, la entrega de diccionarios para escuelas, la creación de una unidad móvil de reciclaje y ayudando a equipar al Club de niños y niñas. Los
rotarios de nueva Zelanda llevan a sus rotarios visi-tantes a plantar un árbol nativo - con el propósito de crear un pequeño bosque para generaciones futuras.
Actualmente, el Club está tratando de apoyar al Club de Judo, Parque ecológico La Ceiba, Juntos y a la banda Municipal, importantes y necesarias iniciativas comunitarias.
el Club Rotario de Vieques se reúne en la espe-ranza los martes a las 7pm. Visite la página web www.rotaryvieques.com para el lugar de reunión. Los visitantes, las personas interesadas, miembros activos y donantes son bienvenidos. Mientras los miembros activos pagan sus cuotas mensuales que sirven de apoyo a las actividades del Club (en el club todo el trabajo es de carácter voluntario), el Club también necesita miembros asociados que puedan contribuir de forma regular.

the vieQues rotary clubVieques has several hardworking organizations to benefit our community, Reach for Success, the Vieques Historical trust, Vieques Humane Society and many others. now, with the establishment of Club Rotario de Vieques, we have an international community service organization with global reach and global support. the newly formed club joins 33 existing clubs in Puerto Rico and more than 33,000 worldwide - all volunteering time and talents to serve and strengthen their communities and the world.
the Fajardo Rotary Club has provided assistance in Vieques helping the Vieques Club establish its credentials with District 7000 (Puerto Rico) and Ro-tary international. the founding members in Vieques quickly decided to focus efforts on support for exist-ing community initiatives, especially those focused on helping the new generation - the youth of Vieques - in their health and development. one of the first projects has been with the Police Athletic league, a Police funded initiative for 70 children involved in an after-school sports program. Working with Agent benjamin, Rotary members donated refillable drinking bottles (and supporting ice and gatorade). each of the athletes has their name written on a bottle and, other than quenching thirst, the project highlights personal responsibility and recycling, to reduce trash creation on the beautiful isla neña!
Working with Rotary international, the Club has also managed to locate, transport, and donate a new operating table to the hospital here in Vieques. by deeding the table to the Municipality the exist-ing 30 year old model was replaced by a modern functioning piece of equipment at no extra cost. this is where the global reach of the Rotary international
organization helped; similar projects have been undertaken in San Juan and Haiti by local Puerto Rican chapters.
originally founded in 1905 in Chicago, Rotary international has since grown to be a very effective worldwide organization. the Foundation is funded by trusts and Rotary members all over the world and administers a large fund that is used to assist projects worldwide that pursue the goals of Rotary. the Foundation recently financed the single, biggest, private health initiative in history – the eradication of Polio disease. in Puerto Rico, Rotar-ians from California are working with local Rotarians on 12 projects, delivering dictionaries to schools, setting up a mobile recycling unit, and equipping a boys and girls Club. in new Zealand members take visiting members to plant a native tree – creating a small forest for future generations.
Currently the Club is trying to assist the Judo Club, La ecological Parque La Ceiba, Juntos and the Municipal band to help and support these worth-while community initiatives.
Club Rotario de Vieques meets weekly on tuesdays at 7pm in esperanza. Please check the website www.rotaryvieques.com for the meeting location. Visiting, interested, contributing and new active members are very welcome. While active members pay monthly dues to support the Club’s activities (all club work is on a voluntary basis), the Vieques club is also seeking associate members to contribute regularly.

Cinnamon: an aromatic herb
by: the green Man® Scott D. Appell
A MINI-SERIES: MEDICINAL PLANTS OF VIEqUES *It should be noted that the plants in this series are utilized by curanderos/curanderas (traditional herbal homeopaths), local midwives and spiritual healers and may not be recommended by licensed physicians.
Cinnamon (called canela in Spanish and Cinnamomum verum in botanical Latin) is a 26- to 56-foot tall tree native to southern india and Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon). it has a remarkably long history of culinary and medicinal uses dating back to China around 3,000 bC and it is mentioned several times in the bible. the leaves are glossy, dark-green and bear 3 to 5 prominent light-colored veins. it is the bark, whole or ground that people are familiar with. the spicy inner bark is detached from the outer skin and cut into short lengths which curl inwardly as the dry and are called “sticks” in the kitchen but are commercially known as “quills.”
ginger tea mixed with cinnamon is drunk for colds and flu. ground cinnamon bark is used in a poultice to aid rheuma-tism and arthritis or taken orally as a tea for digestive problems and menstrual disorders. Leaf teas (one leaf per cup) are drunk daily as a general stimulant. Cinna-mon contains potent oils like cinnamalde-hyde, eugenol (oil of cloves), linalool and camphor from the root bark. these contain proven analgesic and strongly anti-microbial properties. they kill the bacteria, fungi and viruses that cause common maladies such as mouth and gum ulcers, stomach upsets, diarrhea, food poisoning, infections of the urinary tract and thrush (fungal infections of the mouth or vagina). However, the purified and concentrated cinnamon oil available at pharmacies and health food stores should never be taken orally, it is far too concentrated to the point of being dangerous. n
CoquitoPuerto Rico’s version of eggnog but is made with coconut milk and coconut cream. And, of course, rum!
es la versión en Puerto Rico del ponche de huevo, pero se le añade leche y crema de coco. Y, por supuesto, ron.
iNGredieNTeS2 cups of coconut milk (1 dry large coconut or 2 medium ones grated and 1 ½ cup of hot water
1 ½ cup of white rum
1 cup of condensed milk
2 cans of evaporated milk
¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
PrePArATiONgrate the coconut, add 1 ½ cup of hot water, and squeeze to obtain 1 cup of milk.
Pour the milk in the electric blender, add sugar and ground cinnamon. beat on high speed for 1 minute.
Add the rum and beat for 2 more minutes on high speed. in doing so, coconut cream remains homog-enous and does not solidify in the fridge.
You do not need to take it out of the refrigerator in advance at the serving time. You just need to shake the bottle.
Pour in a bottle and keep in the refrigerator.
if you prefer it with more rum, add 2 cups instead of 1 ½. if you use coconut milk from a can, use less milk.
Tips to grow on. Consejos para sembrar.
trying to grow vegetables in Vieques can sometimes seem like a fruitless endeavor. Heat, lack of water, sandy soil, birds, insects, iguanas...all work-ing against the ever hopeful gardener. if you’ve had success with plants and veggies, please share your ideas and tips with the community! email us at [email protected] so we can post a new tip monthly.
tratar de sembrar vegetales en Vieques puede parecer un esfuerzo inútil. el calor, la escasez de lluvia, suelos arenosos, aves, insectos, iguanas…todo trabajando en contra del esperanzado agricultor. si usted ha tenido éxito en la siembra de plantas y vegetales, favor de compartir sus ideas y consejos con la comunidad. envíenos un correo electrónico a [email protected], para que podamos publicar mensualmente un nuevo consejo.
> la canela es conocida por sus propiedades anti-hongos, anti-bacteriales y antivirales. la próxima vez que quiera propagar una planta - por ejemplo una orquídea - frote las partes cortadas de la planta con una rama de canela para prevenir enfermedades. Guarde la rama con ese único propósito.
> cinnamon is known for its anti-fungal, antibacterial and antiviral proper-ties. next time you propagate a plant by dividing it - an orchid for example - rub the cut portions of the plant with a cinnamon stick to prevent disease. reserve the stick for that sole purpose.
Canela:una hierba aromática
por: the green Man® Scott D. Appell
MINI SERIE: PLANTAS MEDICINALES DE VIEqUES*Cabe señalar que las plantas mencionadas en esta serie son utilizadas por curanderos, parteras locales y curanderos espirituales y no pueden ser recomendadas por médicos licenciados.
La Canela (nombre científico Cin-namomum verum) es un árbol de 26-56 pies de alto nativo del sur de la india y Sri Lanka antes conoceda como ceilan . tiene una historia culinaria muy larga y sus usos medicinales se remontan a China alrededor del año 3,000 AC, y es mencionada en varias ocasiones en la biblia. Las hojas son brillantes de un verde oscuro y tienen de 3 a 5 prominen-tes venas de color claro. es con la cor-teza, entera o molida que la gente está más familiarizada. La corteza interna picante se separa de la piel exterior y se corta en trozos pequeños que se doblan hacia el interior a medida que secan y se les conoce en la cocina como “ramas”.
el té de jengibre mezclado con canela se toma para catarros y la monga. La canela molida se utiliza en forma de cataplasma para ayudar al reumatismo, la artritis o por vía oral como un té para problemas digestivos y trastornos menstruales. Las hojas de té (una hoja por taza) se toman diariamente como un estimulante general. La canela contiene en la corteza de la raíz potentes aceites como cinamaldehído, eugenol (aceite de clavo), linalol y alcanfor. estos contienen analgésicos comprobados y propiedades antibacterianas. Matan las bacterias, hongos y virus que causan enfermedades comunes como las úlceras en la boca y las encías, malestar estomacal, diarrea, envenenamiento por comida, infecciones del tracto urinario y candidiasis (infección vaginal causada por hongos). Sin embargo, el aceite de canela purificado y concentrado disponible en las farmacias y tiendas de alimentos nunca deben tomarse por vía oral, ya que es demasiado concentrado, hasta el punto de ser peligroso. n
iNGredieNTeS2 tazas de leche de coco espesa, (necesita 1 coco seco bien grande ó 2 medianos rallados y 1 1/2 taza de agua caliente para obtenerla)
1 1/2 taza de ron blanco
1 taza de leche condensada
2 latas de leche evaporada
1/4 cucharadita de canela en polvo
1 cd. de extracto de vainilla
PrePArAcióNRalle el coco, añádale 1 1/2 taza de agua caliente y exprima en un majador de prensa hasta obtener 1 taza de leche.
eche la leche en la licuadora eléctrica, añada el azúcar y la canela en polvo. bata a velocidad alta por 1 minuto.
Agregue el ron y bata por 2 minutos más a velocidad alta.
Al hacerlo así, la crema de coco se mantiene homogénea y no se solidifica en la nevera. no hay que sacarlo de la nevera con anticipación al momento de servirlo. Sólo tiene que menear la botella.
embotelle y guarde en la nevera.
Si le gusta más fuerte en ron, échele 2 tazas en lugar de 1 1/2. Si usa leche de coco enlatada, use menos leche condensada

it was awesome to see more recycling, fantastic to hear they are composting in some schools, and uplifting to see people using reusable bags and absolutely superfunky to see cool people bring their own cup to the bars. (Plastic cup using
humans are simply not as cool)the seed of the great green experiment was planted in the Vieques Conservation
& Historical trust by some hip girls like emily, brittany, Abby, Alicia and Melissa and two weird guys named Mark and Dan. in partnership with Vieques events we bring you simple, straightforward ways to make eco friendly choices to protect and sustain our island and our natural magic. the seed has grown from an idea to an ongoing campaign and powerful shift in awareness throughout the island to greener behavior. What an amazing island experience for all of us to participate in this green experie-ment and watch how it naturally grows into a way of life for the kids who are exposed to these ideas at an early age. the key elements are: people, balance, positive choices and a little bit of comedy.
in 2012 we concentrated on helping people make green choices to save the environment around them and the money in their pocket. in 2013 the great green experiment will grow even bigger and stronger as we nurture it throughout the year. our goal is to make Vieques a cool, green tourism destination, one with a unique culture and our unique ecotourism experiment. Keep it real and really green. the resi-dents, and by that we mean, the humans, birds, turtles, whales and all the other local Viequense creatures, will benefit from the economic development if the right choices are made for the island. Keep reading our ‘top tens’ and we’ll plant some ideas in your head. but for now and in the spirit of the happy holidays we present to you our top ten to end the year.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
era impresionante ver más reciclaje, fantástico escuchar que están haciendo composta en algunas escuelas, edificante ver a la gente con bolsas reusables y absolutamente grandioso ver a la gente trayendo su propio vaso a los bares. (Los
vasos plásticos qseres humanos que usar no son tan nítidos).La semilla del gran experimento Verde fue plantada en el Fideicomiso de Conserva-
ción e Historia de Vieques por algunas chicas modernas como emily, brittany, Abby, Alicia y Melissa y dos chicos raros llamados Mark y Dan. en unión al Vieques events, le traemos maneras simples y sencillas de llevar a cabo opciones eco amigables para proteger y mantener la magia natural de nuestra isla. La semilla ha pasado de ser de una idea a una campaña permanente y un poderoso cambio en la conciencia de toda la isla por un comportamiento más verde. Que maravillosa experiencia para todos nosotros el poder participar en este experiemento verde y ver cómo crece de forma natural en un estilo de vida para los niños relacionados con estas ideas a temprana edad. Los elementos claves son: personas, balance, opciones positivas y una chispa de buen humor.
en el año 2012 nos concentramos en ayudar a las personas a tomar decisiones verdes para salvar el medio ambiente que les rodea y el dinero en su bolsillo. en el 2013, el gran experimento Verde crecerá más grande y más fuerte a medida que lo fomentemos durante todo el año. nuestra meta es hacer a Vieques un destino turístico verde y agradable, con una cultura y un experimento ecoturístico exclusivos. Mantenerla autentica y realmente verde. Los residentes, y con ésto queremos decir, los seres humanos, aves, tortugas, ballenas y y todas las otras criaturas residentes de Vieques, se beneficiarán del desarrollo económico si toman las decisiones cor-rectas para la isla. Sigua leyendo nuestro listado a continuacion y le vamos a sembrar algunas ideas en su cabeza.

perros de terapia de vieQues
Felicitamos a los equipos de perro/dueño de Vieques quienes recientemente fueron evaluados y certificados por “therapy Dogs incorporated” (organización reconocida a nivel mundial). ellos son: gladys Alemán/ScallyWag, Cristobalina Velásquez/Anon, nancy gilbert/Ruby, y River Karmen/Canela.
Los perros de terapias los podemos encontrar de todos los tamaños y razas. La característica más importante de un perro de terapia es su tempera-mento. un buen perro de terapia debe ser amigable, paciente, confiable, gentil y de buen comportamiento, además de que debe disfrutar del contacto humano.
un perro de terapia es entrenado para proveer afecto y consuelo y puede ser invitado legalmente a visitar hospitales, asilos de ancianos, escuelas, hospicios y otras instituciones donde sus servicios sean necesitados.
La historia de los perros de terapia data de la Segunda guerra Mundial, donde el cabo William Wynne adoptó a un cachorro abandonado en el campo de batalla en la isla de nueva guinea. Smokey, este sabio y agradecido cachorro comenzó a prestar sus servicios cuando el cabo Wynne fue hospitalizado por fiebre selvática. Smokey inmediata-mente fue un éxito entre los demás soldados heridos. el Dr. Mayo (de la famosa clinica Mayo) fue el comandante que permitió que Smokey hiciera rondas y que durmiera con el cabo Wynne en su cama de hopital. el trabajo de Smokey como perro de terapia continuó por 12 años, durante y luego de la Segunda guerra Mundial.
Los efectos terapéuticos que los animales tienen en las personas actualmente son completamente recono-cidos y documentados. Los perros de terapia pueden aliviar la tensión, bajar la presión arterial y elevar el espíritu. en años recientes, los perros de terapia han sido utilizados para ayudar a los niños con problemas del habla y desórdenes emocionales.
Los Perros de terapia de Vieques y sus dueños están listos para ofrecer sus servicios voluntarios. Si le interesa saber más sobre este valioso programa, necesita que le hagamos una visita o piensa que tiene un perro que puede convertirse en uno de terapia y quiere unirse a nosotros, llame a River al 787 556 9030 o escríbanos a [email protected].

vieQues therapy dogsCongratulations to the dog/human teams on Vieques
who have recently been evaluated and certified by therapy Dogs incorporated (an internationally recognized organization). they are as follows: gladys Aleman and ScallyWag, Cristobolina Velasquez and Anon, nancy gilbert and Ruby, River Karmen and Canela
therapy dogs come in all sizes and breeds. the most important characteristic of a therapy dog is her temperament. A good therapy dog must be friendly, patient, confident, gentle and well behaved and must enjoy human contact.
A therapy dog is trained to provide affection and comfort and upon invitation may legally visit hospitals, nursing homes, schools, hospices and other institutions where their services are desired.
the history of therapy dogs dates back to WW ii where Corporal William Wynne came into possession of a young pup abandoned on the battlefield on the island of new guinea. Smokey, this wise and grateful pup, began therapy service when Corporal Wynne was hospitalized for jungle fever. Smokey immediately became a hit with the other wounded soldiers. Dr. Charles Mayo (of the famed Mayo Clinic) was the commanding officer who allowed Smokey to go on rounds and also permitted her to sleep with Wynne in his hospital bed. Smokey’s work as a therapy dog continued for 12 years during and after WW11.
the therapeutic effects that animals have on people is now fully recognized and documented. therapy dogs can relieve stress, lower blood pressure and raise spir-its. in recent years therapy dogs have been enlisted to help children overcome speech and emotional disorders.
Vieques therapy Dogs and their human compan-ions are now ready to volunteer their services. if you are interested in finding out more about this valuable program, want to request a visit from us or think you may have a potential therapy dog and would like to join, please call River at 787 556 9030 or email [email protected]

helping the humane societyVolunteering at the Humane Society is a most rewarding way to spend some of your time. It can also be challenging to fit the commitment of time into your schedule. And, to be hon-est, while it can seem romantic to help feed and clean the shelter animals, after a session or two surrounded by mountains of dog poop, it can become tedious. This is why our kennel staff are absolutely the most remarkable people, but that is a story for next time.
So, what can you do that will help the shel-ter tremendously and enable you to pick your time to volunteer? You can be a short term foster parent and/or an animal transporter.
Most of the shelter adoptions are to stateside locations, whether to individual homes or partner rescue groups. This means that the animals (mostly dogs) need a way to get there. The first step in the process is to move the dogs out of the shelter for about two weeks or so prior to their flight. This gives them time to become used to being away from the shelter and to socialize. The dogs can also be kept flea and tick free much easier if they are not surrounded by seventy dogs and a couple of horses. Perhaps the most important aspect of this job is observ-ing the dog in your home. You may be able to pick up on a behavioral issue or health issue that was not apparent while the animal was in the shelter.
The second step is to get them to San Juan International. This entails picking the dogs and kennels up at the shelter, loading them onto the ferry, loading them onto the publico, loading them into the cargo warehouse or air-line check in, completing all the documents necessary. This is a job only for the calm, cool and collected. On just about every trip something goes a bit awry. The ferry is late or a dog chews his water cup and you need two. You must have the ability to think on your feet and solve any problem that comes up. If you don’t, you end up coming home with an animal that didn’t get its chance at a forever home. The bonus for the transporters is that on many occasions there is enough time for a quick stop at Costco before head-ing back to the ferry.
The old adage of many hands makes light work is true here. The more foster parents and transporters we have, the more animals we can move. Please contact Humane Society President Janie Chadwick at 787-309-3691 for more information. Thanks for helping.

A medida que se acerca el fin del año 2012, Alcanzando el Éxito está agradecido y lleno de esperanza por muchas cosas:
en agosto, el W auspició un evento llamado “taste of the island” el cual es un evento reconocido interna-cionalmente. Chefs y patrocinadores locales e interna-cionales se superaron unos a los otros en la creación de extraordinarios platos y bebidas, mientras que las festividades y la subasta silente ofrecieron diversión y gratos recuerdos para todos. Lo recaudado fue destinado al fondo de becas de Alcanzando el Éxito, el cual ha ayudado a 70 estudiantes a continuar con su educación post secundaria a través de Puerto Rico.
Luego de ver un video en la televisión acerca de Alcanzando el Éxito, Walmart/Colgate Palmolive contactaron a RFS e invitaron a 43 estudiantes par-ticipar de un taller ofrecido en el Hotel W. Dentistas de Caguas hablaron a los estudiantes acerca de sus profesiones, y le practicaron exámenes bucales. Cada estudiante recibió una tarjeta de regalo de Walmart, así como disfrutaron de un excelente desayuno y almuerzo, y le otorgaron un donativo a RFS de $10,000.
el Departamento de la Familia en Vieques, también ofreció una serie de quince diferentes talleres relacionados al liderato, con temas como responsabilidad, valores, autoestima, no violencia, “bullying”(lo abuso escolar) y comunicación. Luego de ser completados, treinta y cinco miembros de RFS viajaron al Centro de Convenciones de San Juan para recibir su certificado de mérito, donde también disfrutaron de un excelente almuerzo.
barry nelson, veterano voluntario de RFS y Sicólogo educativo retirado de Vermont continuará trabajando con los estudiantes durante este año, enfocándose en el tema de la responsabilidad. temas tales como llegar a tiempo, técnicas de entrevistas y conciencia social serán cubiertos en talleres que serán ofrecidos por Jorge Palomares, Director de Recursos Humanos del Hotel W. Hablar inglés es otro requisito para estudiantes que desean cursar estudios universitarios. nancy gilbert será uno de los voluntarios que ha ofrecido sus servicios voluntarios a RFS.
A medida que RFS continúa aumentando su membresía, se necesitan más voluntarios y dona-tivos. Favor de apoyar a este grupo dedicado de estudiantes y voluntarios que sabe que el futuro de Vieques depende de ellos.
gracias a todos los que de una forma u otra han apoyado y han creído en RFS. Realmente ha hecho una gran diferencia. Para más información o hacer un donativo, favor de visitar el sitio web Reachfor-succes.org, o comunicarse con Carmen Portela al 787-243-1352. Les deseamos unas felices pascuas y un año nuevo lleno de paz.
As 2012 draws to a close, Reach for Success is both grateful and hopeful for many things:
in August, the W hosted a now internation-ally known event called taste of the island. Chefs and sponsors from far and near outdid each other in creating fantastic food and drinks, while the festivi-ties and silent auction offered fun and memories for all. Proceeds were given to the scholarship fund of Reach for Success, which has enabled a total of 70 students to continue their education in schools throughout Puerto Rico.
After seeing a video about Reach for Success on television, Walmart/Colgate Palmolive contacted RFS and invited 43 students to attend a workshop which was given at the W Hotel. Dentists from the Caguas talked to the students about their careers, and checked their teeth. each student received a Walmart gift card, as well as breakfast and lunch, and RFS was awarded a $10,000 grant.
the Departmento de la Famila in Vieques, also offered a series of fifteen different workshops related to leadership including subjects such as responsibility, values, self-esteem, non-violence, bullying and communication. upon completion, thirty five members of RFS went to San Juan to receive Certificate Awards in the Convention Center, where they were served lunch.
barry nelson, a veteran volunteer of RFS and a retired educational Psychologist from Vermont will be continuing his work with students this year focus-ing on the theme of responsibility. being on time, interviewing techniques and social awareness will be covered in workshops offered by Jorge Palomares, Director of Human Resources for the W Hotel.
Competence in english is another requirement for students who are pursing higher education or future career paths. nancy gilbert will be one of several volunteers who had offered her services to Reach for Success.
As Reach for Success continues to gain new members, so does the need for more volunteers and donations grow. Please consider supporting this vital group of dedicated students and volunteers who rec-ognize that the future of Vieques depends on them.
thanks to all of you who have shown your support and confidence in RFS. it has really made a differ-ence! For more information or to make a contribu-tion, please visit the web site at Reachforsucces.org, or contact Carmen Portela at 787-243-1352 .
best Wishes for a Healthy and Happy Holiday Season and a Peaceful new Year.

ayudando a la sociead protectora de animalesHacer labor voluntaria en la Sociedad Protectora de Animales es una de las formas más gratificantes de emplear algo de su tiempo. También puede ser un reto tratar de ajustar el tiempo comprometido a su itinerario. Y, para ser honestos, si bien puede parecer romántico el ayudar a alimentar y limpiar a los animales del refugio, después de una o dos sesiones rodeado de montañas de caca de perro, puede llegar a ser tedioso. Por ello, nuestro personal de la Sociead es uno de los más notables, pero eso es una historia que dejaremos para la próxima vez.
Así, ¿qué puedes hacer para ayudar al refugio y te permita escoger el tiempo que desees para ser voluntario? Puede ser a corto plazo padre/madre de crianza y/o un(a) transportador(a) de animales.
La mayoría de las adopciones del refugio son a lugares en Estados Unidos, ya sea para hogares indi-viduales o grupos de socios de rescate. Esto significa que los animales (en su mayoría perros) necesitan llegar al lugar. El primer paso en el proceso es sacar a los perros del refugio dos semanas antes de su viaje. Esto les da tiempo suficiente para acostumbrarse a estar lejos del refugio y poder socializar. Los perros también pueden mantenerse libre de pulgas y gar-rapatas mucho más fácil si no están rodeados por setenta perros y un par de caballos. Tal vez el aspecto más importante de este trabajo es poder observar al perro en su casa. De esta forma, podemos ser capaces de detectar un problema de comportamiento o de salud que no era evidente mientras el animal estaba en el refugio.
El segundo paso es llevarlos al Aeropuerto Interna-cional de San Juan. Esto implica recoger los perros y perreras en el refugio, cargarlos en el ferry, cargarlos en el carro público, llevarlos al almacén de carga o verificarlo en el mostrador de la aerolínea, además de completar todos los documentos necesarios. Esto es un trabajo que requiere personas pacientes y calmadas. En casi todos los viajes pueden ocurrir algunos inconvenientes. Por ejemplo, el ferry se retrasa o el perro mordió su embase de agua y son necesarios dos embases. Se debe tener la habilidad de pensar rápidamente y resolver cualquier problema que se presente. Si la persona no tiene la habilidad, termina regresando a casa con un animal que no tuvo la oportunidad de tener un hogar permanente. El bono para los que transportan a los animales es que en muchas ocasiones tienen suficiente tiempo para ir a Costco antes de regresar en el ferry.
El viejo dicho de que muchas manos hacen el trabajo ligero es muy cierto en este caso. Mientras más padres adoptivos y transportadores tenemos, más cantidad de animales podemos mover. Favor de contactar al Presidente de la Sociedad Protectora de Animales, Janie Chadwich al 787-309-3691 para más información. gracias por su ayuda.

h¿Qué diría si le dijéramos que a los puer-torriqueños les gusta comer comida de vikingos? ¿Y si le dijéramos que el pescado en los libros de receta de muchas cocinas
viequenses es un ingrediente que une a isabel Segunda con terranova y con las antiguas cortes de Lisboa, Madrid y Roma? Y más aún, ¿si tuviéramos que decirle que un alimento humilde y con frecuencia pasado por alto, descansando tranquilamente en la carnicería de la tienda de Morales, no sólo ha desempeñado un papel protagónico en la suerte de las grandes naciones, sino que también en uno de los capítulos más oscuros de la humanidad? ¿Hemos captado su atención? nos lo imaginábamos.
Damas y caballeros, le presentamos al bacalao.¿bacalao? ¿en serio? ¿estamos hablando de ese
pedazo feo y amarillento de pescado salado, ese que es duro como un ladrillo? De echo, sí. Quédese con nosotros y le diremos la verdad de todo ésto.
el bacalao, para los que no lo saben, es simplemente un pescado que ha sido preservado mediante el pro-ceso de salarlo y secarlo. este pescado era tradicio-nalmente el pescado de preferencia, pero cualquier pescado blanco sin grasa sirve. De echo, debido a que este pescado fue sobre pescado durante el siglo 20, no hay muchos de ellos actualmente y el bacalao que compramos en la tienda es ahora más accesible (por lo tanto más barato) que el abadejo.
Aparentemente, los vikingos fueron los primeros europeos, hace 1200 años atrás, que utilizaron las maravillosas propiedades del pescado seco, el cual curaban exponiéndolo al sol y al viento. Los temibles
marineros dependían de su notable capacidad para que permaneciera conservado por largos períodos de tiempo, en su calidad de gran alimento; en su estado de deshidratación almacena alrededor del 80% de su contenido de proteínas, y eso era exactamente lo que necesitaban esos hombres mientras navegaban en alta mar por varios meses.
600 años atrás los marineros españoles y portugue-ses pescaban en grandes cantidades en los bancos de peces de nueva inglaterra y las costas de Canadá. no llevaban carga cuando dejaban sus puertos, por lo cual sus barcos necesitaban algo para poder usarlo como lastre. también necesitaban una forma de preservar su pesca durante el largo viaje a casa. un barco lleno de sal era la ingeniosa solución. una vez llegaban a su hogar, el pescado preservado en sal era duradero y económico, lo cual se expandió por las naciones mediterráneas de europa, haciendo ricos a muchos comerciantes. La palabra bacalao (o bacalhau en por-tugués, o baccalà en italiano) se convirtió para siempre en parte de nuestro idioma.
La sorprendente longevidad y economía del bacalao, por desgracia nos recuerda que desempeñó un papel en uno de los esfuerzos más vergonzosos de la humani-dad, la esclavitud y el transporte forzoso de millones de africanos a las colonias de las Américas y el Caribe. naturalmente, pudo haber sido usado (en porciones limitadas) para mantener a los esclavos vivos en las miserables condiciones en que eran transportados al nuevo mundo. Al mismo tiempo, era transportado de europa para ser vendido y una vez llegaba a su destino, era comprado por los dueños de la plantación, quienes
les proveerían a sus esclavos obreros una ración semanal.
es difícil determinar con precisión cuándo el bacalao llegó a Puerto Rico. uno de los platos favoritos de la isla es el bacalao guisado – compuesto principalmente de ingredientes traídos a la isla desde españa, sugiriendo que el pescado salado puede haber sido introducido por los españoles cuando se instalaron en la isla. Sin embargo, el otro plato favorito, los bacalaítos fritos o buñuelos de bacalao, tiene una fuerte influencia africana. La primera clave es el uso de la fritura, forma de cocinar que llegó al Caribe a través de los esclavos africanos, pero otra clave lo es la combinación del pes-cado directamente dentro de la mezcla. esta técnica de añadir una pequeña cantidad de tan valiosa proteína al abundante masa fue utilizada por los esclavos para estirar sus raciones.
Por supuesto, el tratar de determinar sus orígenes en Puerto Rico se convierte pronto en una discusión tan irrelevante como la de “la gallina o el huevo”. es obvio que el bacalao es tan versátil y delicioso que no importa cuándo o de dónde vino, ha encontrado su lugar en cada esquina de la vibrante cocina de Puerto Rico.
h What would you say if we told you that Puerto Ricans like to eat Viking food? And what if we were to suggest to you that lurk-ing in the recipe books of most Viequense
kitchens is an ingredient that links isabel Segunda to far away newfoundland and to the ancient royal courts of Lisbon, Madrid, and Rome? And furthermore, what if we were to say that a humble & often overlooked food

History In Your Kitchen- A Salty Tale
by bruce & Johnresting quietly in the cold room at your Morales store has not only played a starring role in the fortunes of great nations, but also in one of the darkest chapters of humankind? Do we have your attention? thought so!
Ladies and gentlemen, may we present...bacalao! bacalao, for the uninitiated, is simply fish that has
been preserved by salting and drying. Cod was tradi-tionally the fish of choice, but any non-oily white fish is suitable. in fact, because cod was so heavily overfished in the 20th century there isn’t a lot of it left and the bacalao on our store shelves now is more likely to be a plentiful (therefore cheaper) fish called pollock.
Vikings were apparently the first europeans, as far back as 1200 years ago, to have utilized the amazing nutritional properties of dried fish which they cured by exposing it to sun and wind. the fearsome mariners relied on its remarkable ability to remain preserved for very long periods of time, and on its super food status; in its dehydrated state it packs an incredible near-80% protein content, and that’s exactly what those brawny oarsmen needed while roaming the high seas for months at a time.
600 years later Spanish and Portuguese sailors were heavily fishing the cod banks off the new england and Atlantic Canada coasts. they carried no cargo as they left their home ports, so their ships required something to act as ballast. they also needed a way to preserve their catch for the long journey home. A ship filled with salt was the ingenious solution. once back home, the salt-preserved cod was so long lasting and inexpensive that it swept through europe’s Mediterranean nations, leaving many a rich merchant in its wake. the word ba-calao (or bacalhau in Portuguese, or baccalà in italian) became forever embedded in our languages.
bacalao’s amazing longevity and economy would unfortunately also ensure that it played a role in one of mankind’s most shameful endeavours, the enslave-ment and forcible transport of millions of Africans to colonies in the Americas and the Caribbean. naturally it would have been used (in very limited portions) to keep the human cargo alive on the miserable crossings to the new world. At the same time it was also shipped from europe as a saleable commodity and once landed would be purchased by plantation owners who would provide a weekly ration to their slave labor.
it’s difficult to determine accurately when bacalao would have taken hold here in Puerto Rico. one of the island’s favourite bacalao dishes- bacalao guisado or Stewed bacalao- is composed mainly of ingredients that were likely brought to the island from Spain, sug-gesting salt cod may have first made inroads at the time of original Spanish settlement. However another island favourite, bacalaitos Fritos or salt cod fritters, has strong signs of African influence. the first clue is in the use of deep frying, a means of cooking that actually came to the Caribbean via African slaves, but another hint is in the mixing of the fish directly into the batter. this technique of adding a small quantity of valuable protein to an abundant starch was used by slaves to stretch their rations.
of course, trying to determine its Puerto Rican origins soon becomes an irrelevant “chicken or egg” discussion. it’s obvious that bacalao is so versatile and so delicious that no matter when or where it came from it has managed to find its way into every corner of Puerto Rico’s vibrant cuisine!
Bruce & John’s Bacalao Guisado a la isla NiñaAll ingredients including the wine are easily
available at supermarkets on Vieques. each recipe serves 2- 4, depending on your appetite. if you need to feed more, scale up accordingly!
basic Preparation of bacalao:Soak the bacalao in ample water for at least
18 hours, changing the water three times per day. Keep the bacalao covered, in the fridge, throughout the soaking process. Drain and hold the desalinated fish till you’re ready to cook it.
in a saucepan large enough to hold the cod in a single layer, cover the fish with milk and poach very gently for about 5 minutes (water is oK, too). if the bacalao is of uneven thickness trim off the thin ends and add them about half way through the poaching process. test for done-ness by flaking the fish at the thickest point- it should separate easily and the exposed flesh should look slightly under cooked and not stringy. if ready, remove and cool for use later. (it’s better to undercook rather than overcook the fish or it will become tough!)
ingredients for el guiso:6- 8 oz poached salt cod (see above), broken
into small chunks1/2 medium onion1 cubanelle (mild) pepper1 medium carrot1 clove of garlic, minced1 small can pimentos (two whole sweet red
peppers in brine)1 28 oz can of stewed tomatoes4- 6 green olives, drained, pitted and halved1 1/2 tbsp capers, drained1 tsp ground cumin (or to taste)olive oilchopped cilantro or recao for garnishPreparation:1. Chop the onion, carrot and pepper coarsely
into 1/2” dice.2. over medium heat, warm about 2 tbsp of
olive oil in a wide sauté pan. Make a coarse sofrito by adding the onion, carrot, and pepper, reducing the heat to medium low, and cooking gently till the carrots have softened but are not completely cooked through.
3. Cut the pimentos into 1/2” chunks and add to the sofrito.
4. Add tomatoes, cumin and garlic and stir to incorporate, then simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
5. gently fold in the cod, olives, and capers and gently heat the stew for another 6- 8 minutes, till the fish has warmed through but has not overcooked.
6. Serve immediately. We serve bacalao guisado with cooked rice, and we like to enjoy a nice Spanish tempranillo with it.
bruce and John have been vacationing annu-ally in Vieques for close to 20 years. While feeding their island addiction they have also learned to enjoyably feed themselves using anything and everything offered by the island’s multiple food purveyors. they write about Vieques (in season) at their blog bobo Feed (bobofeed.blogspot.ca)
Bacalao Guisado a la isla Niña de Bruce y Johntodos los ingredientes, incluyendo el vino, son
fáciles de conseguir en los supermercados de Vieques. Cada receta sirve de 2-4 personas, depen-diendo de su apetito. Si necesita alimentar a más personas, haga los ajustes necesarios.
Preparación básica del bacalao:Sumerja el bacalao en bastante agua por lo
menos por 18 horas, cambiando el agua tres veces al día. Mantenga el bacalao cubierto en la nevera, durante el proceso de remojarlo. escurra y manténgalo desalado hasta que este listo para cocinarlo.
en una olla lo suficientemente grande para poder colocar el pescado, cubra el pescado con leche y hiérvalo a fuego lento por 5 minutos (puede ser agua). Si el bacalao no tiene el mismo espesor, corte los extremos finos y los añade a la mitad del tiempo. Verifique si está cocido a través del punto más grueso, separándolo para ver si la carne expu-esta está cocida y no fibrosa. Si está listo, remueva y enfríe para luego usarlo. (es mejor cocer en vez de sobre-cocer el pescado porque se pone duro).
ingredientes para el guisado:6- 8 oz filetes de bacalao hervidos (ver arriba),
cortados en pequeños trozos1/2 cebolla mediana1 pimiento1 zanahoria mediana1 diente de ajo, machacado1 lata pequeña de pimientos morrones1 lata (28 oz) de tomates guisados4- 6 aceitunas verdes, escurridas, sin pepita y
cortadas a la mitad1 1/2 cucharada de alcaparradas escurridas1 cucharada de comino molido (o a gusto)Aceite de olivaCilantro o recao machacadoPreparación:1. Corte la cebolla, zanahoria y pimiento en
trozos de ½”. 2. A fuego mediano, caliente 2 cucharadas de
aceite de oliva en una sartén grande. Haga un sofri-to añadiendo la cebolla, zanahoria, y pimiento, baje el fuego de mediano a lento, y cocine hasta que las zanahorias estén tiernas, pero no sobre cocidas.
3. Corte los pimientos morrones en trozos de ½” y añádalos al sofrito.
4. Añada los tomates, el comino, ajo y mezcle para incorporarlos, luego cocine a fuego lento por 10 minutos.
5. Añada el bacalao, las aceitunas y alcaparras y cocine a fuego lento por otros 6-8 minutos, hasta que el pescado esté caliente, pero no sobre cocido.
6. Sirva inmediatamente. Servimos el bacalao guisado con arroz cocido, y nos gusta disfrutarlo con un buen tempranillo español.
bruce y John han visitado a Vieques por alred-edor de 20 años. Mientras alimentaban su adicción por la isla, también aprendieron a alimentarse usando productos que pueden encontrar en las diferentes tiendas de la isla. escriben acerca de Vieques (por temporada) en su blog bobo Feed (bobofeed.blogspot.ca).

El 5 de enero, los niños llenan una cajita con pasto para los caballos de los Reyes. Para mostrar su gratitud, los reyes dejan regalos a los niños en la cajita. Si tienes suerte, podrías ver a los Tres Reyes Magos montando sus caballos en Vieques durante el día de Reyes.

In order to show their appreciation, the kings leave the children gifts in the box. If you are lucky, you might see the three kings riding their horses around Vieques on Three Kings Day!......................................................................
ParrandasDurante la época de Navidad, es costumbre llevar música a las casas de las amistades. Se cantan canciones típicas de Navidad con la música de cuatro, maracas, güiro, palitos. Las amistades casi siempre obsequian, en señal de aprecio a los músicos, con comida y bebidas.
During the Christmas season, it is common to bring music to the houses of your friends, singing local Christmas songs, paired with the music of the “cuatro,“ maracas, gourd, and sticks. The friends often provide food and drinks to give thanks to the musicians. ......................................................................
Nochebuena/ Christmas EveLa Nochebuena es la víspera de la Navidad (24 de diciembre). En Puerto Rico, se celebra la gran fiesta navideña el 24 de diciembre. Famili-ares y amigos se reúnen para celebrar y com-partir comidas tradicionales tales como lechón asado y pasteles. Durante el Día de Navidad, la gente descansa de la Nochebuena.
“Nochebuena” or Christmas Eve is when the big holiday celebration takes place in Puerto Rico on December 24th. Family and friends come together for a party and traditional foods, such as roast pork and pasteles. On Christmas Day, people rest from Nochebuena.

they start their day at 5 am. they battle the heat, the glaring sun, sharks, barracuda and the pressure of the sea on their bodies as they hunt for their catch on the sea floor. they work everday weather permits to bring the provisions of the sea to land to
sell to the market, restaurants and locals. their day starts long before the pescadaria or fish market is even open but when their doors open at 9:30, the activity is constant and the energy flowing until they close at 2 or 3. eric torres and Guelymar Perez took over at the market three years ago after starting their business out of their house with one freezer and 1,000 lbs of conch to sell. now they sometimes can’t keep their freezers full enough to meet the demand for fresh fish on the island. Whenever there is something left at the end of the week they sell to the restaurant el Mako in naguabo, Pr so that nothing is ever frozen for more than one week. i showed up at the Pescadaria at 10 am and 13-15 fisherman who fish daily for their livelihood were coming and going. tourists and locals show up to put in thier orders for fish, lobster and conch. as eric is slicing a frozen hog fish or “capitan” on the slicer, tomas is filleting a 2 lb grouper for a young couple and their 2 year old child visiting from Michigan. Guelymar is tal-lying up the drums of lobster brought in by Georgie, one of our ferry boat captains who is also one of the best lobster fishermen on the island. today he has brought in 98lbs. an average day for Georgie, Guelymar says. there is someone sport fishing from the pier for the 5 or six tarpen who make a daily appearance for breakfast as tomas tosses them the remains of a fish he is filleting. it is catch and release but the tarpon weighs about 12lbs, is 3-4 ft long and puts up a tremendous fight. sergio “Papo” and Jose, Guelymar’s uncles pull up to the pier with buckets of conch and joking around about “the shark with big teeth”. they have brought in about 80 lbs of conch today and used 3 tanks of oxygen. Jose, the captain of the boat, cleans the conch and keeps track of Papo while he dives for the conch. Despite the laborous day of work, the toll on their bodies, the constant dangers and risks, there is constant joking and i’m amazed at the good nature of every-one. i can only think that is the sun, the rythm of the sea, fresh air and true work that benefits Vieques in so many ways that keeps these fishermen with constant smiles on their sunburned faces. thanks guys! stay tuned for part two in January’s issue of Vieques events.
comienzan su día a las 5am. la batalla del calor, el sol deslum-brante, los tiburones, las barracudas y la presión del mar en sus cuerpos, ocurre a medida que buscan su pesca en el fondo del mar. trabajan cada día que el clima se lo permite para traer las
delicias del mar y venderlas a los comercios, restaurantes y residentes. su día comienza mucho antes de que la pescadería esté abierta, pero cuando sus puertas abren a las 9:30, la actividad es constante y la energía fluye hasta que cierran a las 2 o 3. eric torres y Guelymar Pérez se hicieron cargo de la pescadería hace tres años, luego de comenzar su negocio fuera de su casa con un congelador y 1,000 libras de carrucho para vender. en ocasiones, no pueden satisfacer la demanda de pescado fresco de la isla. siempre que queda algo al final de la semana, se vende al restaurante el Mako en naguabo, Pr, para que no quede nada que haya estado congelado por más de una semana. Me presenté en la Pescadaría a las 10 y de 13 a 15 pesca-dores que pescan diariamente para su sustento iban y venían. los turistas y los locales hacían sus órdenes de pescado, langosta y carrucho. Mientras eric rebana un pez capitan congelado en la sierra, tomas está fileteando un mero de 2lbs. para una joven pareja y su hijo de 2 años de Michigan. Guellymar está haciendo el recuento de los drones de la langosta traídos por Georgie, uno de los capitanes de ferry, que es también uno de los mejores pescadores de langosta en la isla. Hoy trajo 98lbs. Un día normal para Georgie, dice Guelymar. Hay alguien que practica pesca deportiva desde el muelle, tratando de pescar los 5 o 6 sábalos que hacen su aparición diaria en el desayuno, a medida que tomás les arroja los restos de un pez que está fileteando. se trata de capturar y liberar, pero el sábalo pesa alrededor de 12 y mide 3-4 pies de largo y libró una tremenda batalla. sergio “Papo” y José, tío de Guelymar, colocan en el muelle cubos de carrucho y hacen bromas sobre el tiburón de grandes dientes. Hacen constantes bromas y estoy sorprendida por el buen humor de todo el mundo después de un día muy difícil de trabajo y el grave efecto que tiene en sus cuerpos el bucear a veces hasta 70 - 90 pies de profundidad. sólo puedo pensar que es el sol, el mar, el aire puro y el verdadero trabajo lo que beneficia a Vieques de tantas maneras y que mantiene a estos pescadores con una sonrisa constante en sus rostros quemados por el sol. Gracias chicos. Manténgase en sintonía para la segunda parte de este artículo en la edición de enero del Vieques events.
tomas Mulero cleans and fillets the fish with experienced precision and speed. He also performs so many other necessary jobs to keep the market humming along. the day that i was there he went run-ning off to buy a sandwich for the owner;s son who was crying that he was hungry... yelling over his shoulder “Mayo or butter??” Seems like he’s part of the family.
tomás Mulero limpia y filetea el pescado con experta precisión y velocidad. también realiza otras labores necesarias en la pescadería. el día que estuve ahí, el corrió a comprar un “sandwich” al hijo de los dueños que estaba llorando porque tenía hambre...gritando sobre sus hombros ¿mayonesa o mantequilla? Parece ser que él es parte de la familia.

Al crecer en Nueva York, comíamos langostas del Atlántico frecuentemente: las amábamos y aprendimos a sacarle cada pedacito de carne de sus impenetrables caparaz-
ones. Sin embargo, es raro encontrar rabos de langostas del Caribe (siempre congelados y muy caros) en pescaderías gourmet o en el menú de restaurantes caros. Nunca parecían ser tan buenas como sus homólogas del norte - y ¿porqué solamente se comía el rabo? Por supuesto, aquí en Vieques puedo encontrar langostas frescas (conocidas por sus deliciosos grandes rabos) en cualquier momento, a través de los pescadores locales, los cuales son verdaderamente maravillosos. ¿Tengo alguna preferencia? No la tengo, porque los considero dos mariscos totalmente diferentes (y de hecho lo son) pero muchas personas piensan lo contrario, pero ese debate siempre estará presente.
Aunque ambas especies son artrópodos marinos (animales con patas articuladas), que es lo único que tienen en común, no están estrechamente relacionados en lo absoluto. La langosta del Atlántico o Maine es originaria de las frías aguas del Océano Atlántico hasta Carolina del Sur y utiliza sus poderosas tenazas como su principal medio de defensa contra los depredadores. La langosta espinosa del Caribe solo se encuentra en las aguas cálidas del sur de los Estados Unidos, a través del Caribe hasta Brasil y utiliza sus formidables espinas para protegerse.
Por cierto, las langostas se tornan de color rojo cuando se coci-nan porque se libera un pigmento que hay en su cuerpo llamado “astaxanthin”. Cuando salga a comer fuera, siempre pida llevarse los caparazones de langosta consumidos por usted y su acompañante para que con éstos pueda hacer en su casa un caldo.
Growing up in New York City we ate Atlantic lobsters quite frequently: we loved them and learned how to wheedle ev-ery bit of edible morsel from their impenetrable carapaces.
However, rarely you could encounter Caribbean spiny lobster tails – always frozen and exceedingly expensive – in gourmet seafood markets or on the menu in high-end eateries. They never seemed to be as good as their northern counterparts - and why was there only the tail to eat? Of course here on Vieques I can get fresh Caribbean spiny lobsters –known for their large delectable tails - at any time from our resourceful local fishermen, and they are truly wonderful, too. Do I have a preference? I do not because I consider them two entirely different seafoods – and indeed, they are - but many people do take sides and that debate will forever wage on!
Although both species are marine arthropods (animals with jointed legs) that is the only thing they have in common, they are not closely related at all. The Atlantic or Maine lobster is native to the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean as far south as S. Carolina and use their powerful claws as their primary means of defense against predators. The spiny Caribbean lobster is only found in the warm waters of the southern United States through the Caribbean to Brazil and uses their formidable spines to protect them.
Incidentally, lobsters turn red when prepared because a protein-bound pigment in their bodies called astaxanthin is released with the exposure to the heat of cooking. When dining out, always ask to take your, and your dinner companion’s, lobster shells home to make stock.
