Letters to the Editor
AIDS Commission Thanks for a Wonderful Carnaval
Dear Editor:
Fun, Graffiti, Violence?
I have not experienced Carnival in Brazil nor Trinidad , two locales that I have heard are massive celebrations, boasting gorgeous costumes and choreographed dancing through the streets. My heart filled with joy when I saw on the US news this week Haitians filled with happiness, able to sway to the sounds of their Caribbean beat for the first time since the earthquake last year.

The Waste Disposal System
Those of us who follow the local news of Channel 5 and Channel 7 are aware of the critical problem that exists in Belize City with the Waste Disposal System. The city is in crisis with garbage dumped all over the place and the trucking companies are not picking it up. All fingers are pointing at the mayor and the City council because they have not been paying up to their contract with the trucking company. There is blaming here and there but the bottom line is that the people are suffering because they have a dirty city in crisis.

Los Finados
My Present visit to San Pedro (the land of my birth) is a memorable one with sentinmental memories. I visited to commemorate “Los Finados” of our departed ones which has been a tradition in our culture. Sorry to say that only senior Sanpedranos continue this tradition. My Chichi Rosa (Parental granddmother) was a resadora, so as a child, I held on to her hand so I could accompany her to all the prayers and afterwards we were graced with chocolate drinks and caprichos (sweet bread).
