REach foR succEss

Apparently the word is out: the schools in vieques have an unbelievable drop out rate. While this may not be news to some,

it does make a good argument for continuing the work of organizations like reach for success and other organizations which are dedicated to helping the youth of vieques.

in addition to the abysmal academic standards, there is the lure of drug and alcohol use and crime. if these trends are to be improved, it is our responsibility to provide the youth of vieques with positive alternatives. reach for success has made a difference in all of the lives of its members..

rFs is an after school program which serves students ages 12-18. With an emphasis on formu-lating goals and fulfilling necessary requirements to achieve them,

Reach has enabled 65 students to further their education with the help of scholarships and an active mentoring/training program.

Workshops in english, alternative energy, psy-chology, photography, art, health care, business entrepreneurship, and hospitality have broadened the students horizons and made them aware of possible careers they didn’t know existed.

Many local volunteers like Chuck tephner and eric schmell, have helped to inspire and influence students who are interested in subjects which are not offered in schools in vieques. by working together on special projects under the capable guidance of professionals, students develop re-sponsibilty, leadership and useful skills which will become assets throughout their lives.

this year, please consider the gift of giving and making a difference. You can do so by volunteering time, or making a contribution. For more informa-tion, visit the rFs website at reachforsuccess.org or contacting Carmen Portela at 787-243-1352 or freyablock@[email protected].

......................................................

REach foR succEssAparentemente la voz se ha regado: las es-

cuelas de vieques tienen una incidencia increíble de fracasos. si bien ésto no es nuevo para algunos, es una buena excusa para continuar con el trabajo de organizaciones como Alcanzando el Éxito y otras organizaciones que se dedican a ayudar a la juventud de vieques.

Además de los pésimos estándares académi-cos, se encuentran la tentación del uso de drogas y alcohol y la criminalidad. si estas tendencias deben ser mejoradas, es nuestra responsabilidad ofrecer alternativas positivas a los jóvenes de vi-eques. Alcanzando el Éxito ha hecho la diferencia en todas las vidas de sus integrantes.

rFs es un programa extracurricular que trabaja con estudiantes entre las edades de 12-18. enfa-tiza el establecimiento de metas y el cumplimien-to de los requisitos necesarios para alcanzarlas.

El programa ha permitido a 65 estudiantes continuar con educación universitaria, con la

ayuda de becas y un programa activo de orient-ación y adiestramiento.

talleres de inglés, energía alternativa, psicología, fotografía, arte, cuidado de la salud, negocio empresarial, y hospitalidad han ampliado el horizonte de los estudiantes y les han hecho conscientes de las posibles profesiones que no sabían que existían.

Muchos voluntarios locales como Chuck tephner y eric schmell han ayudado a inspirar y han influ-ido en los estudiantes, quienes están interesados en materias que no se ofrecen en las escuelas de vieques. Al trabajar juntos en proyectos especia-les, bajo la experta dirección de profesionales, los estudiantes desarrollan responsabilidad, liderato y habilidades útiles que se convierten en activos a lo largo de sus vidas.

este año, considere el regalo de dar y haga la diferencia. Puede hacerlo a través de labor voluntaria o haciendo una donación. Para más información visite la página web reachforsuccess.org o contacte a Carmen Portela al 787-243-1352 o a freyablock@[email protected].

ViEquEs Baila 2012 – it takes a Village and the love of Vincent Tozzi for Vieques

Vieques Baila was created in 2007 by Vincent tozzi. vinny has known to his friends were talking to Maritza Peréz in 2006 and she complained that there is not a place to dance on valentine’s Day. voilá, vinny thought, why don’t we create a dance party for your birthday and celebrate the good things vieques has to offer.

vieques baila is a night that everybody enjoys. the celebration is about the good things of vieques. no cultural clash, no religious differences nor political views are shared, just dance, smiles and of course wonderful food and desserts. oh my god the desserts!- all kinds and flavors.

everything is donated except the roast pig and the DJ which are paid for by vinny. but one of the most beautiful things about this event is the generous support of the community by various groups and organizations that help throughout the year. this year’s theme is – It takes a Village (taken from Hilary Clinton’s book). the concept is self-explanatory but is a way to celebrate how the vieques community unites for a night and just celebrates. it is about caring for your neighbor, gatherings with your loved ones, your friends, and helping out the community.

so with open arms let us celebrate the upcom-ing of vieques baila and we thank vincent tozzi for his dedication, efforts and love of vieques. Hope to see you all there and of course i hope to see you dancing!

ERnEsTo pEña & w hoTEl paRTnER foR nEw muRal aT hiGh schoolernesto Peña, a local artist in vieques lent his talent to create a new mural at the High school. W retreat & spa donated the paint and materials, and the High school offered the space for ernesto Peña to bring this wall to life. the mural took a total of two months to create and is a wonderful addition to the school, sure to add enjoyment to students for years to come. see the finished mural in the Feb. issue of vieques events!

ERnEsTo pEña y hoTEl w sE asocian paRa nuEVo muRal En la EscuEla supERioRernesto Peña, artista local en vieques donó su talento para crear un nuevo mural en la escuela superior. el W retreat & spa donó la pintura y los materiales, y la escuela superior proveyó el espacio a ernesto Peña para que diera vida a la pared. La creación del mural tomó dos meses y es una maravillosa adición a la escuela, para el disfrute de los estudiantes durante los próxi-mos años. el mural terminado se presentará en la edición de febrero de vieques events.

ViEquEs Baila 2012 – se necesita un pueblo y el amor de Vincent Tozzi por Vieques

Vieques Baila fue creado en el 2007 por Vincent tozzi, vinny como lo conocen sus amigos, hablaba con Maritza Pérez en el 2006 y ella se quejó de que no había un lugar para bailar el Día de san valentín. voilá, vinny pensó en por qué no hacer un baile para su cumpleaños y celebrar las cosas buenas que vieques tiene que ofrecer.

vieques baila es solo una noche en la cual todo el que asiste la disfruta. La celebración es acerca de las cosas buenas que tiene vieques. no hay choques culturales, ni diferencias religiosas o políticas, solo baile, sonrisas, y por supuesto, maravillosa comida y postres. oh por Dios, los postres – de todas clases y sabores.

todo es donado, excepto el lechón asado y el DJ, pagados por vinny. una de las cosas más hermo-sas acerca de este evento es la generosa ayuda de la comunidad a través de varios grupos u orga-nizaciones que ayudan a los viequenses durante todo el año. este año el tema es –se necesita un Pueblo (tomado del libro de Hilary Clinton).

el concepto se explica por si solo, pero es una forma de celebrar cómo la comunidad de vieques se une por una noche para celebrar; se trata de cui-dar a su vecino, compartir con sus seres queridos, sus amigos, los animales y cómo puede ayudar en la Comunidad.

Así que, con los brazos abiertos, celebremos el próximo vieques baila y agradecemos a vincent tozzi por su dedicación, esfuerzo y amor por vieques. espero verlos a todos y por supuesto, espero verlos bailando.

It can happen if we only use reusable ........ and we keep using it.

We know there is a problem, and we know it takes a lot of ef-fort to change things, but this year 2012 let’s do everything to make vieques green.

the vieques green experiment is hoping to swirl the ongoing efforts of the agencies, businesses, and every-

body else interested into doing small changes now that will grow to big chang-es for our future. inspired by the vieques Conservation & Historical trust and a group of dynamic volunteers to first help develop quick, practical solutions to help reduce the trash we produce and team up with the organizations and people who are already doing a lot of good for our environment. We are open to ideas and collaboration and will be promoting initiatives throughout the year. Look for opportunities to support the recycling office, get involved in beach cleanups with MAntA, the creation of the vieques reusable Cup with sponsor logos and many other fresh and easy projects to make positive changes now. the super green kit to reduce plastic waste and the top ten green list can make you “greener” overnight. We are seeking the involvement of businesses and schools to ensure the changes not only make sense but also work.

We will also feature “the green corner”, a monthly column in the vieques events with news and practical information on new projects in vieques. this month’s green corner features the bring Your own Cup campaign.

new Year, new approach, new ResultsWe know we can’t fix everything but if we pull together this year we can

start a formula that could add up to something awesome. so change some things, donate some time or funds, help some programs and get involved in making trash __________ .

El Gran Experimento VerdeThe Great Green Experiment

V i e q u e s 2 0 1 2

¿ Te gustaría ver menos basura en las playas?

¿ Te gustaría ver a Vieques con menos plástico?

¿ qué tal hacerla desaparecer antes de que llegue?

Esto puede ocurrir si sólo utilizamos productos reusables... y seguimos usándolos.

Sabemos que hay un problema, y sabemos que éste conlleva un montón de cosas diferentes, pero este año 2012 vamos a hacer todo lo necesario para transformar a vieques en una isla verde.

el experimento verde es la esperanza de girar los es-fuerzos que realizan las organizaciones, empresas y todos aquellos interesados en hacer pequeños cambios, ya que van

a ser grandes cambios para nuestro futuro. inspirado por el Fideicomiso de Conservación e Historia de vieques, y un grupo de voluntarios dispuestos para ayudar a desarrollar respuestas eficaces y posibles que reduzcan la basura que producimos y colaborar con todas aquellas organizaciones y personas que ya están haciendo un esfuerzo para nuestro ambiente. estamos abiertos a ideas y la colaboración y también vamos a promover algunas iniciativas durante todo el año. busque oportunidades para apoyar a la oficina de reciclaje, para involu-crarse en la limpiezas de la playa con MAntA, la creación de el vaso de vieques reusable con logo de los patrocinadores y muchos otros proyectos nítidos y fácil de hacer para lograr cambios ahora. el súper kit verde es para reducir los residuos de plástico y los diez primeros de la lista verde te pueden hacer más verde instantáneamente. estamos buscando la participación de las empresas y las escuelas para asegurar que los cambios no sólo tienen sentido, sino también que trabajen.

también contará con “La esquina verde” todos los meses en el “vieques events” con noticias e información sobre todo lo que es noticia verde en vi-eques. este mes la esquina verde caracteriza la campaña traiga su Propio vaso (bring Your own Cup).

nuevo año, nuevo enfoque, nuevos Resultadossabemos que no se puede arreglar todo, pero si nos unimos este año podem-

os iniciar una fórmula que podría llegar a ser hasta algo impresionante. Así que cambie algunas cosas, done tiempo o fondos, ayude a algunos programas y participe en hacer que la basura___________.

What’s up?>> some bars in vieques use

over 4000 plastic cups a week

>> A lot of the trash that you see around consists of drinking containers

>> the average use of a plastic cup in a bar is about 20 minutes

>> Most bars in vieques don’t recycle plastic (we are work-ing on it. hint, hint)

>> Plastic is really just not tasty

What can you do?• bring your own plastic cup to

school, to parties, the bars and restaurants. it’s easy, it’s cool, and girls like it

• 0% waste (if you ask for no straw)

• shows your greenness

• easier and cheaper for the business

• things are tastier in them

• vieques could be trendset-ting some green fashion around the globe

• You’ll sleep better know-ing there is absolutely no chance your cup killed a turtle

10topthe greencorner

La esquína verde

diez razones por las cuales la basura no está “cool”• Mata cosas

• Nos hace ver mal y no agrada verla• Contamina el aire, la tierra y el agua que nos rodea

• Hace la basura más costosa• Nos quita las tierras

• Es mala para la salud• Nos lleva a valorar menos a Vieques

• Contribuye al cambio climático en el planeta (aceptado solamente por extraterrestres)

• Menos turismo• Apesta

Top ten reasons why trash isn’t cool• Kills things

• Doesn’t look good and makes us look bad• Pollutes the air, earth, and water around us

• Makes trash expensive• Takes away land

• It’s bad for our health• Leads to not caring about Vieques

• Contributes to climate change on earth (ok only for extraterrestrials)

• Less tourism• It smells terrible

think about it

1 pLastic cup / 20 minutes of use = 100 years in the vieques dump Plastic cups are sold by the millions at restaurants and cafés, taken to the beach (and sometimes left there), and all too often tossed in the trash after a single use! imagine...that plastic cup that you are enjoying a margarita in now and then throw in the trash bin, will be in the vieques landfill for over a hundred years – yet you used it for (on average) 20 minutes or less. if it was water that you were drinking it could be less than 30 seconds! If you flew to Vieques on a major airline, think about 1 million plastic cups used every 6 hours on flights in the US. Vieques and the earth cannot sustain this waste. it’s time to change. Find a cup that you like and stick with it! You don’t leave your house without your cell phone --now don’t leave without your reusable cup!

piensa aL respecto

1 vaso pLástico/20 minutos de uso = 100 años de vida en eL vertedero de vieques. Los vasos plásticos son vendidos por millones de restaurantes y cafeterías, llevados a la playa (y muchas veces dejados ahí), y a menudo, terminan en la basura luego de un simple uso. Fíjese...ese vaso plástico donde saborea una margarita y luego es echado a la basura, estará en el vertedero de vieques por más de cien años – aún cuando solo es usado por (un promedio) 20 minutos o menos. si era agua lo que estaba bebiendo, pueden ser menos de 30 segundos. Si usted viaja a Vieques en una de las principales líneas aéreas, piense acerca de 1 millón de vasos plásticos usados cada 6 horas en viajes en eu. vieques y la tierra no pueden aguantar este des-perdicio. es tiempo de cambiar. Consiga un vaso que le guste y no lo pierda de vista. usted no sale de su casa sin su celular – ahora no salga sin su vaso reusable.

¿Qué sucede?>> Algunos bares de vieques

utilizan más de 4.000 vasos de plástico a la semana.

>> Mucha de la basura que usted ve alrededor consiste de bebidas.

>> el uso promedio de un vaso plástico en un bar es de 20 minutos.

>> La mayoría de bares en vieques no reciclan el plástico (estamos trabajando en eso, coge la indirecta).

>> el plástico simplemente no es muy apetitoso.

¿Qué tu puedes hacer?• Lleve su propio vaso plástico

para la escuela, las fiestas, los bares y restaurantes.. es fácil, es genial, y a las mucha-chas le gusta.

• 0% de residuos (si usted no usa un sorbeto).

• Muestre su verdor.

• Más fácil y más barato para la empresa.

• Las cosas son más sabrosas en ellos.

• vieques podría ser un ejemplo de la moda verde en todo el mundo.

• Podrá dormir mejor sabiendo que no hay absolutamente ninguna posibilidad de que su vaso plástico cause la muerte a una tortuga.

new to vieques events – the green Corner, a space dedicated to stop and make us think. our actions now will affect vieques now, in a few years, and generations from now. it’s time to make a change for a greener vieques. if you have ideas and would like to write about them, please contact Mark Martin @ 787.409.3405 or Kelly thompson @ 787.435.3172

vieques ha estado sufriendo severas restricciones presupuestarias y extremo desempleo que han ocasionado miseria y verdadera depresión económica. Hay algunas buenas noticias y motivos para ser optimistas acerca de nuestra situación en el año 2012. A pesar de los esfuerzos de los gobiernos para estimular la economía, ha tomado tiempo llevar a cabo proyectos a través de las etapas de planificación y construcción. Finalmente, sin embargo, las cosas están evolucionando bien; hemos llegado al comienzo de una explosión de nuevos proyectos y programas comunitarios. La Alcaldesa evelyn Delerme Camacho tiene bajo su supervisión, millones de dólares para llevar a cabo en la isla, nuevos proyectos de construcción durante el próximo año.

vieques has been suffering from severe budget constraints and extreme local unemployment that have created economic misery and a true depression. But there is some good news and reason to be optimistic about our situation in 2012. Despite governments’ efforts to stimulate the economy from top to bottom, it has taken time to move projects through the stages of planning and into construction. Finally, however, good things are evolving: we have reached the beginning of an explosion of new community projects and programs. Mayor evelyn Delerme Comacho is oversee-ing millions of dollars in new construction throughout the island in the coming year.

We get many needed improve-ments and additional economic activities at the same time: a true win-win!

según reportado en el vieques events durante el verano 2010, la Alcaldesa Evelyn Delerme Camacho se ha sentido frustrada tratando de luchar por un mejor sistema

de transportación marítima para vieques, debido a la arrogancia y agresividad de la Junta de la AtM. ella ha llegado al punto donde piensa que una demanda es la única forma de lograr algo de justicia para nuestra isla. A través de la intervención del gobernador y algunos legisladores, ella se echó para atrás para darles la oportunidad de arreglar las cosas.

bien, un nuevo director fue nombrado y, con la ayuda de la Administración Federal de transpor-tación (FtA), un enfoque mas profesional (y de larga duración) fue adoptado y se han contratado consultores para ayudar. Desafortunadamente, los problemas sistemáticos en la AtM son tan severos que las operaciones se han desintegrado. Luego de 4 meses de un indescriptiblemente horrible sistema de transportación, la alcaldesa presentó una de-manda contra la AtM alegando incumplimiento para desempeñar sus servicios contratados y pidiendo una indemnización por daños de $1,000,000.

el sistema de transportación se supone que opera para beneficio de vieques y Culebra. La admin-istración de la AtM continúa ignorando las verdaderas necesidades de vieques. Derrochan millones de dólares otorgados por el gobierno estatal y federal.

Compran embarcaciones de pasajeros en vez de una combinación de embarcaciones de carga/pasajeros. operan con itinerarios que favorecen a sus empleados y no a los clientes (incluso acor-tando el servicio durante las festividades navideñas para que los empleados pasen más tiempo con sus familias). su sede es en Fajardo en vez de vieques, para así poder emplear mayormente a personas de la isla grande. Asignan 12 ferries a la semana para Culebra (1800 personas) y 15 para Vieques (9300). no hacen ningún esfuerzo por utilizar la ruta corta (Ceiba) porque el alcalde de Fajardo lucha por ello y su equipo no quiere ningún cambio.

Mientras tanto, nuestros negocios no pueden transportar productos, equipo o materiales debido a que el sistema está bien limitado. Los suplidores de la isla grande no envían sus camiones y empleados debido a la falta de confiabilidad de los servicios regulares que conllevan grandes horas extras y gastos adicionales. Las reservaciones anticipadas se han convertido en imposibles y cada viaje es un riesgo. Incluso nuestro servicio telefónico (PRT/Claro) se está afectando, ya que los instaladores y técnicos no pueden llegar de forma confiable. Cual-quier trabajo que requiera nuevo cableado desde los polos ha sido suspendido por meses y meses.

Cuando los negocios no pueden adquirir los ma-teriales necesarios de construcción e instalación, tienen que suspender a sus empleados. Cuando los compradores no pueden adquirir sus productos, no compran. La economía cae cada vez más. vieques sufre. Los daños reales son más de $1,000,000.

somos el rabo del perro; la colonia de la colonia. nuestros representantes son hipócritas. nunca leen nuestros emails. representan grandes áreas en la isla grande y no les importan los pocos votos que podemos ofrecerles durante la época de elecciones. esperemos que la demanda trabaje algo de magia.

evelyn y goliath

As reported in vieques events during the summer of 2010, Mayor Evelyn Delerme Camacho had become very frustrated trying to fight for better ferry services

for vieques due to the arrogance and aggressive ignorance of the AtM board. she had reached a point where she thought that a lawsuit was the only way to achieve any justice for our island. through the intervention of the governor and certain legislators, she backed off to give them a chance to set things right.

Well, a new director was put in place and, with the help of the Federal transportation Administration (FtA), a more professional (and long term) approach was adopted and consultants were hired to assist. unfortunately, the systemic problems at the AtM are so severe that the operations have disintegrated. After 4 months of unspeakably horrible cargo ferry service, the mayor filed suit against the AtM claiming a failure to perform their contracted services and asking at this time for damages of $1,000,000.

the ferry system is supposed to operate for the benefit of vieques and Culebra. but, the AtM management continues to ignore the real needs of vieques. they squander the millions of dollars provided by both the federal and Pr gov-ernments. they buy passenger boats instead of combination cargo > passenger boats. they operate on schedules that favor their employees instead of their clients (even cutting needed holiday service to allow employees more time with their families). they base themselves in Fajardo instead of vieques so that they employ mostly main island people. they allocate 12 ferries per week to Culebra (1800 people) and 15 to Vieques (9300). They won’t make any ef-fort to use the short route (Ceiba) because the mayor of Fajardo fights it, and the staff doesn’t want any changes.

in the meantime, our businesses can’t get product, equipment, or materials because the system is so constrained. vendors on the main island won’t send their trucks and employees over here due to the lack of reliability of the scheduled service leading to extreme overtime and added expenses. reservations ahead of time have become impossible and every trip is a gamble. Even our phone service (PRT/Claro) is suffering because installers and linemen can’t get here reliably. Anything requiring running new wires from the poles has been on hold for months and months.

When businesses can’t get the materials they need for construction or installation, they lay off their workers. When shoppers can’t get product, they don’t buy. the economy just spi-rals down more and more. vieques suffers! the real damages are more than $1,000,000.

We are the tail of the dog; the colony of the colony. our representatives pay lip service to us. Let’s hope that the lawsuit works some magic.

héctor Meléndez, coordinador del Programa de reciclaje de Vieques dijo: “si miras a la naturaleza puedes ver el reciclaje en acción.” su esperanza es que cada uno de nosotros saque tiempo y preste atención a la naturaleza y aprenda cómo hacer del reciclaje una parte de nuestras vidas. héctor ama el reciclaje, lo que va más allá de sus 40 horas de trabajo. rápidamente aclara que no está solo en su dedicación, mencionando que varios de sus empleados regularmente dan el 110% de esfuerzo en su trabajo. cuando le preguntamos acerca del Árbol de navidad de 40’ ubicado en la plaza, rápido nos dijo que su realización fue un esfuerzo familiar. cada año, luego de las fiestas Patronales, en algún momento durante el mes de julio, un comité de 7 personas se reúne para planificar las festividades navideñas de ese año. este año se decidió unánimemente la creación de un árbol y las decoraciones con material reciclado. cuando dijo ésto, que fue un esfuerzo familiar, él no estaba bromeando – amigos y miembros de la familia se unieron al comité de 7 miembros para llevar a cabo todas las decoraciones. cada noche que trabajaron, alguien cocinaba la cena para ellos, para que así pudieran continuar con su trabajo, muchas veces hasta la medianoche.

el árbol de 40’ contiene 5,317 botellas. esto significa que hay más de 400 libras de material que no terminaron en el vertedero de Vieques o llegaron al océano, lo cual es bien perjudicial para la vida marina. Mientras que la mayoría de este árbol puede ser roto y reciclado, en vez de ésto, vivirá nuevamente, con algunos adornos durante la próxima temporada navideña. el comité usualmente trata de crear decoraciones que se puedan usar por varios años, con algunos cambios para los años siguientes. Para poder recoger suficientes botellas plásticas, el grupo de reciclaje ofreció camisetas gratis a cambio de botellas plásticas en la feria ambiental celebrada en la plaza el pasado verano. intencionalmente, no le dijeron a las personas para qué serían utilizadas las botellas, ya que deseaban que el árbol fuera un sorpresa.

todo el trabajo para crear el árbol fue realizado en su tiempo personal, luego de horas de trabajo. el árbol y las decoraciones fueron hechas en el centro de reciclaje, con la excepción de algunas de las flores que fueron creadas por varios participantes del centro de envejecientes. al principio, el grupo de trabajo estaba sacando las etiquetas de las botellas, pero luego decidieron dejarlas para que llamara la atención el echo de que las botellas eran reutilizadas. héctor dijo: “queremos que las personas vean el ver-dadero concepto de reciclar y reusar. lo que las personas ven como basura, no tiene que permanecer como basura”.

el globo bajo el árbol representa a la tierra – y a través de la tecnología de la fotografía, el árbol ha llegado hasta el otro lado de la tierra a Japón, donde también están disfrutando de la creatividad de la gente de Vieques.

nuevamente, todo el trabajo para crear las decoraciones navideñas de este año fue realizado durante tiempo personal, con gran amor, orgullo y entusiasmo. héctor dice: “amo mi trabajo. nos divertimos.” Él es defensor de ser el cambio que ustedes quieren ver en el mundo, dándo el ejemplo correcto.

héctor Meléndez, coordinator of the recycling Program here on Vieques states that, “if you look to nature you can see recycling in action.” his hope is that we all take some time to pay attention to nature and learn how to make recycling a part of our lives. hector has a love of recycling that ex-tends way beyond his 40 hour a week job. he is quick to say that he is not alone in his dedication, mentioning that several of his employees regularly give 110% effort to their work. When asked about the 40’ recycled christ-mas tree in the plaza, he replies that it was a family effort to bring this about. every year after the fiesta Patronales, sometime in July, a commit-tee of 7 people gathers to plan the christmas festivities for that year. this past year it was a unanimous decision to create a tree and decorations out of recycled materials. When he said that it was a family effort he was not joking - friends and family members joined the 7 committee members to create all of the decorations. each night that they worked, someone would cook up a meal for them, so that they could continue their efforts on into the night, sometimes as late midnight.

the 40’ tree is made up of 5, 317 bottles. that means that there is more or less 400 pounds of materials that will not end up in the Vieques landfill or breaking down in the ocean where it is very harmful to sea life. While most of this tree could be broken down and recycled, instead it will live again, with some embellishments for the next holiday season. the committee usually tries to create decorations that can be used for a couple of years, with some additions for the subsequent year. in order to collect enough plastic bottles, the recycling group offered free t-shirts in exchange for plastic bottles at the environmental fair that was held this past summer. they deliberately did not tell people what the bottles were to be used for because they wanted the tree to be a surprise.

all of the work to create the tree was done on their own personal time, after working hours. the entire tree and decorations were fabricated at the recycling center, with the exception of some of the “flowers” that were created by some of the participants at the elderly center. at one point the construction crew was taking the labels off the bottles, but later decided to leave them on so that it would draw attention to the fact that the bottles were re-purposed. hector said: “We want people to see the true idea of recycling and repurposing. What people see as garbage doesn’t have to stay as garbage”.

the round bottom under the tree represents the earth - and through the technology of photography the tree has made it’s way to the other side of the earth to Japan, where they too are enjoying the creativity of the Vieques people.

again, all of the work to create this year’s holiday extravaganza was done on personal time, with great love, pride and enthusiasm. hector says, “i love my job. We have fun”. he is a strong proponent of being the change that you want to see in the world, by setting the right example.

“We want people to see the true idea of recycling and repurposing. What people see as garbage doesn’t have to stay as garbage”.

“Queremos que las personas vean el verdadero concepto de reciclar y reusar. Lo que las personas ven como basura, no tiene que permanecer como basura”.

Recycling Program • el Programa de Reciclaje

WHO We Are

the recycling Program has a very dedicated staff consisting of 7 at present, with 3 employees that are employed for only 6 months. The staff is comprised of Coordinator Hector Melendez, 1 driver, 2 secretaries, 2 permanent employees and the 3 non-permanent employees.

Our PurPOSe

the current Administration and recycling team, is committed to improve the recycling program and look for better ways to protect our environment. the pur-pose of law 70 is to provide feasible alternatives for solid waste accumulation at the Municipal dumps, extending the life of them, and reducing environmental contamination.

WHAT We rec YcLe

the recycling program currently collects: cardboard, aluminum, plastic, scrap metal, scrap tires, and paper. glass is not currently being recycled but they hope to do so in 2012. Tires are collected and given to people who ask for them for retaining walls. Hector and his crew built two retaining walls for two of the schools on the island. used cooking oil is received at the dump site and is being used to fuel some of the earth-moving vehicles at the dump.

WHAT YOu c AN dO

With limited staff out on the street and in the processing center, the program has a huge undertaking with little resources.

they provide service to businesses, federal, state and municipal agencies, and to the residents upon request. one obstacle to overcome is not having neighborhood recycling deposit bins where individuals would be able to sort and dump their recyclable materials for pick up. there is a plan in place with strategic sites already identified to implement this program. but it will need the support of vieques residents to make it work. A major problem is that often times trash is mixed in with the recyclables which, with limited staff and equip-ment, makes it difficult to sort. Please do not combine trash with your recycled materials.

recycling bins are now available for commercial establishments by calling Hector’s cell phone at 787/646-4180 or by calling the Municipality and leaving a message 787.741.4442. serena brosca from n. Carolina Coordinator of Keep vi-eques Beautiful has gotten 200 house-hold recycling bins from N.C. that are on their way here. Hector plans to get another 700 bins and begin a pilot recycling project in the barrios of esperanza, Florida and Las Marias.

the vieques Municipality and the recycling office are committed to pro-tecting our environment and preserving our natural resources; but it is the responsibility of the community as well. We urge you to participate in recycling programs. it takes commitment from you and all of your family. it takes dili-gence, effort and it might even take time out of your day to drive to one of our drop-off locations. or to organize your neighbors and community to establish a neighborhood drop off site. but it is a necessary step to the future health and consciousness of vieques. Please participate.

If you want to request a talk or have doubts, questions, suggestions and/or comments, please call Hector’s cell phone at 787.646.4180; serving our island and our environment.

QuieNe S SOMOS

el Programa de reciclaje tiene un personal muy dedicado que consta de 7 empleados, de los cuales 3 trabajan por 6 meses. Este equipo está compuesto por el Coordinador Héctor Meléndez, 1 chofer, 2 secretarias, 2 empleados permanentes y 3 empleados a tiempo parcial.

Nue STrO PrOPOSiTO

La actual Administración y equipo de reciclaje están comprometidos a mejo-rar el programa de reciclaje y en buscar mejores medios para proteger nuestro ambiente. El propósito de la Ley 70 es ofrecer alternativas viables para la acumulación de desperdicios sólidos en los vertederos Municipales, alargando la vida de éstos, y reduciendo la contaminación ambiental.

Que recicL AMOS

el programa de reciclaje actualmente colecciona cartón, aluminio, plástico, chatarra, neumáticos y papel. Actualmente no se recicla cristal, pero se espera hacerlo en el 2012. Los neumáticos son recogidos y entregados a las personas que los solicitan para construir muros de contención. Héctor y su equipo construyeron dos muros de contención para dos escuelas locales. el aceite de cocinar usado es recibido en el vertedero y se está utilizando como combus-tible para algunos de los vehículos que mueven la tierra en el vertedero.

Que uSTed Puede HAcer

Con un grupo limitado de empleados en las carreteras y en el centro de procesamiento, el programa tiene que llevar a cabo una enorme tarea con una gran limitación de recursos.

el programa ofrece servicios a los negocios, agencias federales, estatales y municipales y a los residentes, a petición de los mismos. un obstáculo a superar es el no tener contenedores para reciclar en los barrios, donde las personas puedan dividir y botar sus materiales reciclables para que éstos sean recogidos. Hay un plan en proceso, con lugares estratégicos ya identificados, para la implementación de este programa. Pero para que funcione, necesita la ayuda de los residentes de vieques. el principal problema es que en muchas ocasiones, la basura se mezcla con los artículos reciclables, lo cual, con un limitado personal y equipo, hace difícil la separación de los mismos. Por favor, no mezcle la basura con los materiales reciclables.

Los contenedores de reciclaje están disponibles para los establecimien-tos comerciales llamando a Héctor al 787-643-4180 o llamando al Municipio 787.741.4442. A serena brosca de Carolina del norte y Coordinadora de “Keep Vieques Beautiful” le han donado 200 contenedores para reciclaje en los hog-ares desde Carolina norte, los cuales llegaran pronto a la isla. Héctor planifica establecer un proyecto piloto en los barrios esperanza, Florida y Las Marías.

el Municipio de vieques y el Programa de reciclaje están comprometidos a proteger nuestro ambiente y a preservar nuestros recursos naturales; pero ésto también es responsabilidad de la comunidad. Le exhortamos a participar en los programas de reciclaje. se necesita el compromiso suyo y de su familia. se necesita diligencia, esfuerzo y quizás parte de su tiempo, para llevar el material a uno de los centros de acopio. Puede ayudar a organizar con sus vecinos y su comunidad un centro de acopio en su vecindario. es un paso necesario para conservar la salud futura y crear consciencia en vieques. Por favor, participa.

Si desea solicitar una charla o tiene dudas, preguntas, sugerencias y/o comentarios, favor de llamar al (787) 741-4939 o vía email a: [email protected]; sirviendo a nuestra isla y a nuestro ambiente. For Hector and his staff, recycling is not just a job...it’s also how they live. One of the

first projects for the new office was to fabricate a fish pond in front of the office that is made from a “repurposed” 600 gallon water tank. The filter was created using found objects and with instruction found on the internet.

Para Héctor y su equipo, reciclar no es solo un trabajo… es solo la forma en que viven. Uno de los primeros proyectos para la nueva oficina fue la fabricación de un estanque para peces frente a la oficina, hecho de un reusado tanque de agua de 600 galones. El filtro fue hecho usando objetos encontrados y con las in-strucciones encontradas en la Internet.

Green Construction: Tires are available for use as retaining wall as in this ex-ample that the staff built for a school.

Construcción Verde: Los neumáticos están disponibles para utilizarse como muros de contención según este ejemplo que el personal construyó para una escuela.

“Keep vieques beautiful” (Kvb) ha tenido éxito en la adquisición de 200 (18 galones) contenedores plásticos para reciclaje, a través de la Ciudad de Concord, en Carolina del norte. Kvb! pidió reutilizar estos obsole-tos contendores para vieques y con el voto unánime del Consejo de la Ciudad, los con-tenedores fueron donados generosamente.

La próxima tarea es tener estos contenedores en vieques para Año nuevo. Luego de meses de logística, Kvb! y Héctor Meléndez, Coordinador de reciclaje del Muni-cipio de vieques, logramos que los contenedores fueran enviados por una compañía de mudanzas desde Concord, nC hasta vieques, Pr vía orlando, FL. vieques pagó el 53% de los costos de envío y DVB! El 47%. La donación del contendor y los costos estimados de envío presupuestados sumaron 37% del costo de comprar y enviar uno nuevo. La Ciudad de Concord apiló, envolvió y ató los contendores en paletas de madera y están a la espera de ser recogidos. Kvb! contactará a la compañía de mu-danzas para hacer los arreglos y pagos finales del envío. este va a ser un Feliz Año nuevo de reciclaje para vieques.
