Earthquake!

The worst of the quake hits in the
first 30seconds, if it hasn’t got
stronger by then you can usually
relax.

irls screamed, builders
clung to their scaffolding and worried residents ran out of their houses
when a 5.8 magnitude earthquake shook Utila at 7.48am
on the morning of Friday 24th
September.
The initial bang even the woke
the most hungover of sleepers
and took everyone by surprise,
“I nearly jumped out of my window… naked!” said a confused
Mr.G.
Although the quake, centred under the ocean 90km WNW of
La Ceiba, was strong enough to
knock items off shelves it caused
little damage on the island apart
from a few cracks in the walls.
Despite rumours of chunks falling off the public school building
it remained intact however the
hoards of frightened kids (and
teachers) were sent home immediately.
“Everyone overreacted because
they don’t know about earthquakes, we`re going to teach the
children and the teachers what to
do next time,” said Mery Duenas
who, along with the Director, was
absent on the day of the incident.
Although Utila does lie on a fault
line, earthquakes are pretty rare.
The quake was felt on the mainland in San Pedro Sula and La
Ceiba, but no damage was reported.
In the event of an earthquake try
to avoid fleeing your house in
panic, you’re more likely to get
hit by flying debris.
Instead duck under a doorway
as these are unlikely to collapse,

Las niñas gritaron, los carpinteros se abrazaron a sus techos y
los residentes abandonaron corriendo sus casas cuando un terremoto de magnitud 5.8 sacudió
Utila a las 7.48 am en la mañana
del viernes 24 de septiembre.
El sacudón inicial despertó
hasta el más “engomado” de
los dormilones y tomó a todos
por sorpresa, “Casi salto por
mi ventana… desnudo!” dijo un
confundido Sr. G.
Aunque el temblor, centrado
bajo el océano a 90 km ONO de
La Ceiba, fue lo suficientemente
fuerte para arrojar objetos fuera
de sus estantes, causó poco daño
en la isla aparte de unas pocas
rajaduras en la paredes.
A pesar de los rumores sobre
grandes bloques cayendo del
edificio de la escuela pública, el
mismo permaneció intacto, sin
embargo las hordas de niños (y
maestros) aterrorizados fueron
enviados a casa inmediatamente.
“Todos reaccionaron de más
porque no conocen de terremotos, vamos a enseñar a los niños
y maestros qué hacer para la
próxima vez”, dijo Mery Duenas, quien junto con la Directora
Maria Hortensia Bueso estuvo
ausente el día del incidente.

NEWSINBRIEF Victorious Cancer Battle
Desalination plants
The much awaited desalination plants donated by the Spanish government finally arrived safely on the island.
Drilling has begun to reach uncontaminated salt water 200m underground in order to supply the plants.
The stone laying ceremony for the new building is due to be held on
12th October.
“Everyone is welcome to attend, please come and show your appreciation,” said Mayor Alton Cooper.
It is hoped the plants will be producing water by march next year.
Katrina and Rita raise prices
Fuel and electricity prices on the Island increased at the beginning of
September in reaction to the effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Both storms caused havoc for oil platforms in the Gulf disrupting production and causing crude oil prices across the world to spiral.
At the end of the month UPCO announced a further raise in tarifs to
Lps. 5.15 / kW, due to take effect on the 5th of October.
Love sick lad in daring jet ski crossing
One devoted boyfriend was so exited about
the return of his girl that he got the dates of
her arrival mixed up. Upon discovering late
that she would be in Tegucigalpa that evening
he jumped aboard a jet-ski and speeded off
to the mainland as fast as he could.
“I made it! but boy did my a**e hurt after the
ride” he said.
And all because the lady loves...
New mission for HQTV
Johnny Hinds has begun round the clock religious broadcasting from
the comfort of his own front room.
Mr. Hinds, owner of Utilas only cable channel, will be responsible for
changing videotapes throughout the night.
He has invited all churches to come to his house and have their own
broadcast time.
“I’m on a mission from God, all churches are welcome,” said Mr.
Hinds.
Shelby McNabs popular evening news show will continue with the
recent addition of caller screening and id to help filter prank callers.
Methodist VIPs grace Utila
Methodist dignitaries Rev. Dr.
George Mulrain, Connexional President in the Caribbean and Americas
and Rev. C. David Goff, District
President, visited the Island on September 10th.
It was their first visit to the island
where they were well looked after
by Rev. Janet Corlett.
Island recycling
A new recycling initiative for the island is being
coordinated by Victor Lobo, owner of Victors
Store opposite the Bundu Cafe.
Bottles with a recycled ‘dot’ on the bottom and
paper (not cardboard) can be delivered directly to
Mr. Lobo`s store, or ask your nearest dive shop
if they collect.
Innovative new courses at BICD
Bartending (where you actually get to work in a bar) and DJ-ing courses are now available at the Bay Islands College of Diving alongside the
traditional dive courses.
D’Arcy Kelly has big plans for the new Whale Shark Research Center
at the College.
“Eventually we want to establish a dive university, providing courses
in any skill that’s useful in or alongside the diving industry.” said Mr.
Kelly.
As well as housing the ‘dive university’ the building will also provide
facilities for marine science students and researchers.
Y
oung Lejourn Hill, 9,
bravely spent the last
three years battling
leukaemia. He is now in remission and told us about
his experiences.
How did you find out you
had leukaemia?
I was getting fever and headaches, mum kept carryin me
to Ceiba but they said it was
normal. Eventually we went
San Pedro Sula, the doctor
took one look at my hands and
said I had leukaemia.
Tell us about the treatment?
I had chemotherapy for three
years, every week I had a shot,
it makes you sick for a few
days, my bones and head hurt,
I lost my hair. Twice a month I
gave a blood test but the worst
was the back test. They put a
rod into my back to take bone
marrow to see for cancer cells
every three months. I didn’t
like that.
What about school?
I couldn’t go school, I would
get sick off the other kids too
often. But I’m back now.
How did you find hospital?
I made a lot of friends in hospital but it was sad because we
would go back and they were
gone, they died.

El joven Lejourn Hill de 9
años de edad pasó los últimos 3 años luchando valientemente contra la leucemia y
recientemente la hizo retroceder. El nos contó acerca de
sus experiencias.
Cómo descubriste que tenías
leucemia ?
Estaba teniendo fiebre y dolores de cabeza, mamá lo pasaba llevándome a Ceiba pero
ellos decían que era normal.
Eventualmente fuimos hasta
San Pedro Sula, el doctor
echó una Mirada a mis manos
y dijo que yo tenía leucemia.
Háblanos del tratamiento
Hice quimoterapia por tres
años, cada semana me daban
una inyección, te pone enfermo por unos días, me dolían
los huesos y la cabeza, perdí
el pelo. Dos veces por mes me
hacían un test de sangre pero
lo peor fue el test de la espalda. Pusieron una varilla en mi
espalda para tomar médula
ósea para buscar células cancerosas cada tres meses. Eso
no me gustó.
Qué pasó con la escuela ?
No podía ir a la escuela,
me enfermaba de los
otros chicos muy seguido. Pero ahora estoy
de vuelta.
Que te pareció el hospital ?
En el hospital hice un
montón de amigos pero
fue triste porque volvíamos y ya no estaban,
habían muerto.
Un día conocí a la esposa del presidente, ella
vino y se tomó una foto
conmigo.
Dinos sobre tu recuperación
Ya no tengo que hacer más
quimoterapia pero todavía me
tengo que hacer revisar cada
mes por los próximos cinco
años.
Hay alguien a quien quieras
agradecer ?
Gracias a Dios y a mis abuelos, y al Hospital Escuela por
ayudarme.
Gracias a Lejourn y su madre
para
hablar con
nosotros y
mucho suerte para
el futuro.

Hurricanes continue to
threaten the entire region.
This stage of the season
often sees activity in our

MAYOR ALTON COOPER
Congratulations to the kids for
a fantastic show on September 15th, it was good to see the
whole town out enjoying themselves.
I would also like to give a big
thanks to Randy Cordone, a
great guy who’s given up much
of his time helping the kids
improve their baseball skills, a
real asset to the community.
And now with September
over lets all hope that October
brings us a break from the pestering flies!
▼▼
We`ve had an exciting breakthrough with the major Islandwide sanitation project. Soon all
homes and businesses will be
provided with proper sanitation
systems. Before finalising plans
technicians will visit each and
every household to talk to residents and discuss different possibilities. I ask everyone to please
co-operate with them as they are
working to try and help you.
▼▼
I would like to invite everyone to
the stone laying ceremony for the
desalination plants on the 12th of
October. As an expensive project
it would be nice for the community to show their appreciation by
attending.
Drilling for uncontaminated salt
water to supply the plants has
begun and the project should be
fully operational by March.
None of this would have been
possible without the generous
property donation of Leiscter
Jones (Mr. Slunken).
▼▼
The Cayes received new benches
and chairs for the school, with
thanks to the ongoing support of
Licenciada Olivera, Director of
Education for the Bay Islands.
Work also continued on the water pipelines, which should be up
and running at last.
▼▼
New bug spraying equipment is
on its way, we will continue to
use toxins especially designed
for delicate natural environments
like Utila.
▼▼
The Methodist school has been
blessed with twenty more computers thanks again to Dr. Hal
and Donna Beuyer.
▼▼
Roadworks will ease off as we
start getting more rain and after
a quiet September lets hope October brings a few more customers to the Islands businesses.
Your Mayor,
Alton Cooper
Felicitaciones a los niños y
jóvenes por la fantástica presentación del 15 de Septiembre.
También quisiera agradecer
grandemente a Randy Cordone,
una gran persona que ha dado
mucho de su tiempo ayudando a
los muchachos a mejorar sus técnicas de Béisbol, de gran valor
para la comunidad.
Ahora con el mes de Septiembre
finalizado esperemos que Octubre nos de un descanso de las
plagas!
▼▼
Hemos tenido un emocionante
avance que el proyecto de saneamiento para la isla. Pronto
todas las casas y negocios serán
provistos de sistemas de saneamiento adecuado. Antes de finalizar la planificación los técnicos
visitarán cada una de las casas
para platicar con los residentes y
discutir diferentes posibilidades.
Solicito la cooperación de todos
con ellos mientras ellos trabajan
y tratan de ayudarles.
▼▼
Me gustaría invitar a todos a la
ceremonia de la puesta de la primera piedra para la Planta Desalinizadora el 12 de Octubre. Es
un proyecto muy caro y será muy
gratificante que la comunidad de
a conocer su apreciación al participar de la ceremonia.
El proyecto sería completamente
funcional para Marzo.
Nada de esto podría haber sido
posible sin la generosa donación
de la propiedad por el señor
Leiscter Jones (Mr. Slunken).
▼▼
Los Cayos recibieron nuevas
mesas y sillas para la escuela,
agradeciendo al constante apoyo
de la Licenciada Olivera, Directora de Educación para las Islas
de la Bahía. También continúa el
trabajo con la tubería de agua
potable, la cual estará finalmente
funcionando.
▼▼
La Escuela Metodista ha sido
bendecida con 20 computadoras
mas gracias a otra vez al Dr. Hal
y Donna Beuyer.
▼▼
El trabajo de las calles se parará
un poco a medida que tengamos
mas lluvias y después de un silencioso Septiembre esperemos que
Octubre traiga mas clientes a los
negocios de Utila. ■

A
ndependence Day!
n
army of
residents thronged
the crossroads on
September 15th to celebrate
Honduran
Independence
day.
The kids put on an impressive
display marching through town
in an explosion of colour, singing and dancing, flaunting their
spectacular costumes.
Teams of girls with pink pompoms, little boys in suits and
shades and dizzying hula hula
girls paraded down the main
street stopping every fifty meters to perform for enthusiastic
onlookers, showing that all
those months of constant practising were worth it!
“The rascals woke me up every
morning with their banging,
but this is fantastic - what an
atmosphere!” said Ben Smith,
tourist.
After a break for lunch festivities continued with more traditional fun and games organised
by Johnny Hinds with the assistance of Tony Zelaya and
funded by the municipality.
The ever popular boxing ring
provided a stage for young
bravados to release tensions
and the seemingly impossible
greasy pole had crowds holding their breath in suspense.
“It’s twenty meters tall and
lathered in grease, the kids
that get to the top and grab the
money have got no fear.” said
Charles Connor.
The prize was eventually won
by twelve year old Efrain Jeronimó Poblonc, who claimed
the Lps. 4000 to share with his
team.
Throughout the festivities
money was fired out from
above thrilling the crowds and
garifuna dancers had people
grooving in the streets.
“It looked like it was going to
rain so we finished the games
early, unfortunately we had no
time for the traditional soda
drinking and spaghetti eating
contests.” said Mr Hinds.
A marathon was also organised
for the first time this year raising Lps. 1250 for the Centro de
Salud.
Thirty eight fit athletes ran from
Bar in the Bush to the airport
and back all competing for trophies donated by Richard Del
Ormo, mayoral candidate.
“The marathon is a good idea
but it’s a shame it was at the
same time as the traditional
games, we didn’t have as many
adults competing this year as
we usually do.” said Mr Hinds.
As the day drew to a close
families put tired children to
bed and those who hadn’t had
enough beer already headed for
the bars.

por la calle principal parando
cada cincuenta metros para
hacer su show ante el público
entusiasmado, demostrando
que valieron la pana todos esos
meses de intensa práctica !.
Los niños me despertaron cada
mañana con sus tambores, pero
esto es fantástico, qué atmósfera!” dijo Ben Smith, turista
Después de un intervalo para
almorzar las festividades continuaron con diversión más
tradicional y juegos, organizados por Johny Hinds con la
asistencia de Tony Zelaya y con
fondos de la municipalidad.
El ring de boxeo siempre popular proveyó el escenario para
que los pequeños valientes
iberaran sus tensiones y el
aparentemente imposible palo
encebado mantuvo a las multitudes sin aliento.
“Tiene veinte metros de alto y
está bien cubierto de grasa, los
chicos que llegan hasta arriba
y toman el dinero no conocen
el miedo.” Dijo Charles Connor.
El premio fué Ganado eventualmente por Efrain Jerónimo
Poblonc de doce años, que
conquistó las 4000 lempiras
para compartir con su equipo.
A lo largo de las festividades
se arrojó dinero desde el cielo
excitando a las multitudes y los
danzantes garífunas tuvieron a
la gente moviendo las caderas
en las calles.
“Parecía que iba a llover, por
eso terminamos los juegos temprano, desafortunadamente no
tuvimos tiempo para los concursos tradicionales de

September 15th is Independence day across
Central America. Until that day in 1821
Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador,
Belize, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Panama
were ruled by Spain.
In 1810 a rising tide of disaffection with the
Spanish rule erupted into riots in Mexico, the
violence quickly spread throughout Central
America and by 1821, after three centuries,
the link with Spain was finally severed.
Honduras remained a part of Mexico before
briefly becoming a member of the Central
American Federation. It declared its Independence as a separate nation on November
5th 1838.

El 15 de Septiempre es Día de la Independencia en Centroamérica.
Hasta ese día en 1821 México, Guatemala,
Honduras, El Salvador, Belize, Costa Rica,
Nicaragua, y Panamá estaban en poder de
España.
En 1810 una marea creciente de desafiliación con España desembocó en revueltas
en México, la violencia se esparció rápidamente a lo largo de Centroamércia y para
1821, después de tres siglos, los lazos con
España finalmente se rompieron.
Honduras permaneció parte de México
brevemente antes de convertirse en miembro
de la Federación Centroamericana. Declaró
su Independencia como una nación aparte
el 5 de noviembre de 1838. ■

Utila East Wind
October, 2005
Hurricane - only you can be prepared.
Many of our current habitantes were not here for
Fifi, Francelia or Mitch, if a storm were to strike
Utila here’s what would likely happen to you?
Boats will not depart or arrive during the storms,
or may even be sunk. Stores will quickly run out
of food and supplies.
Your home may vanish. Streets and roads will
be impassible. You may be seriously injured- we
only have two doctors and limited supplies.
Cell phones may not be working and home
phones will fail.
You will most likely loose your job or source of
income as businesses are damaged, destroyed or
closed. Utilities will stop due to damage to the
power lines for days or weeks, no electricity, no
water, no refrigeration. Low laying areas will be
flooded during the storm surge.
What can you do to be prepared?
Chose a “safe area or room”.
Put all your documents and important papers
into ziplock bags.
Store at least 7 gallons of drinking water per
person.
Store non-perishable foods to last for a period of
at least two weeks.
Have at least one working flashlight with fresh
batteries.
If you cook with butane have a full tank on
hand.
Have a months supply of any medicines, baby
food or supplies on hand and don’t forget a first
aid kit for minor emergencies.
Keep a supply of mosquito spray, they wont all
be blown away and there will be mucho flies.
Have an AM-FM radio handy, there will be no
cable, no t.v and no phones most likely.
If you are lucky enough to have a VHF radio
make sure your batteries are charged before the
storm. VHF may be the only means of communication, along with walkie talkies.
Don’t depend on others to help you and your
family.Don’t say you’re too poor to help yourself! I see hundreds of you on motos, scooters, 4
wheelers and golf carts with a coke in one hand
and a bag of greasy chips in the other.
It’s all up to you! And don’t blame other people
if you are not prepared. You are the only factor
in being ready for the big one.
Think! and Pray!

I Remember
There was a place…
long ago and far away,
and I can still remember,
Utila Bay.
Where down on the corner,
we would gather at night;
to see them dancing in Edward’s Hall,
and usually there’d be a fight.
I can still remember,
I remember the sight.
There was Cap`n Arch,
and his Mary L;
Monday mornings like clockwork to Ceiba,
and she was slow as hell.
I can still remember,
I remember it well.
Half a cent black candy,
a three cent bread;
with only one Lempira,
a family of four was fed.
I remember.
Five cents for a hand of bananas,
ten cents for a picture show;
if Tarzan or The Durango Kid were playing…
you knew you had to go.
A plantain trash bed,
and a chamber pot;
I remember eating Holly Hollies…
at Frank`s shop.
Barefoot boys and two-shoe girls,
The Silver Slipper and hot-comb curls;
stick-horse riding cowboys,
playing marbles with Ms. Lilly Gay,
anytime you broke the Fourth Commandment…
you knew you had to pay.
I remember…
Utila Bay.
Christmas was special,
for each girl and boy;
an apple they would give us..
and if lucky… a toy.
Two cents sugar and a three cent bun,
Mr. Spurgeon selling chicharon,
and Lisha drinking rum.
Lines of wheelbarrows,
Would form at The Well;
Stealing chickens at midnight…
Hoping no one would tell.
I remember…I remember it well.
That was Utila of a long time ago,
where those times went I do not know;
all I am left with are memories of yesterday,
but I can still remember… Utila Bay.
Got something to say? Then we want to hear it.

trained by the
US military to
shoot terrorists,
escaped into the
Gulf of Mexico in the aftermath
of Katrina as reported by british
newspaper the Observer.
“My concern is that they have
been trained to shoot, if divers
are mistaken for a spy or suicide
bomber they could fire,” said Leo
Sheridan, 72, US government
employee. ■
Storm Double
The US Gulf
coast suffered
a double onslaught at the
hands of Hurricanes Katrina
and Rita in September.
Both storms inflicted widespread
loss of life and property, causing
damage topping $30 billion dollars.
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin
was among many who criticised
the central government for its
slow response.
“Where are the choppers, food
and water and where’s the help!”
said Mayor Nagin.
President Bush admitted the
government did not foresee the
devastation “I don’t think anybody anticipated the breach of
the levees.” he said. ■
Passengers Saw
Landing Drama
140 aircraft passengers watched
their own lifeand-death drama
unfolding live on
television as their plane circled
Southern California for hours,
crippled by faulty landing gear.
“It was very scary, grown men
were crying,” said Diane Hamilton, one of the passengers who
tried to send a telephone message
to relatives in the event of her
death.
After flying for three hours to
burn off fuel the pilot did a successful emergency landing.
News broadcasts stopped ten
minutes prior to this, “we definitely thought that was it then,
they couldn’t`t show us die on
live tv,” said one passenger. ■
Bali Bombs
19
people
were killed
and over 50
injured when
the Indonesian island of Bali was the target
of a second terrorist bomb attack
on the 1st of October.
The popular tourist destination
was devastated by a previous
bombing in 2002, which left 202
dead and the island struggling to
survive as tourists were scared
off. ■

Dr John quit this month in
response to mounting pressure from those angered by
his controversial subject
matter.
“I wont compromise, I always do it my way. Its not
my problem if people can’t
take a joke” said Dr John
For the last six months his
monthly column has been
H
dissecting the community.
“Tourists might not come to
the island if they read that,
its disgusting” said Jasmine
Holmberg of Deep Blue
divers.
One enraged reader has
started a one man campaign, pressurising advertisers to boycott the paper,
describing the last article as
pornographic.
However others see a lighter side.
“Its hilarious, what will he
think of next?” said Ian Eisley
Like it or not, for many the
contentious column is the
first thing they read.

Give fish a chance and leave fancy lures at home
Barbara Kempf
S
eptember 17th was a
perfect day to go out
and spot for whale
sharks.
Just north of Black Hills, Utila’s famous sea mount, boat
captains found what they were
looking for:
A big broil of tunas, which
is a sign for loads of krill and
plankton at the surface, meant
there could be a whale shark
feeding close by.
The divers were excited and
prepared to get a glimpse of the
gigantic and peaceful fish.
But there was a big surprise: Attached to the upper lobe of the
caudal (tail) fin of the 25 foot
shark was a big fishing hook,
the fishing line wrapped twice
around the tail and a 10 ft. long
steel cable with a melon size
purple lure dragging behind it.
The kind of lure that is usually used to catch big game like
marlin.
Jules Pages, Dive Instructor,
saw the hook and
the cable, and realized the animal
needed help.
“I shouted to the
boat that we needed a knife to cut the
whale shark free.”
Dan Cain, Videographer, jumped in
the water equipped
with a diving knife,
swam up to the
shark, but couldn’t
cut through the
steel cable.
“I kept trying, but
at one point we had to return to
the dive shop because people on
the boat started to get seasick”,
he said. “We went back, picked
up knives and wire cutters and
drove out again to where we
“
thought the whale shark was.”
They found the injured animal
and for two hours tried to get
close enough.
At one point
Alex,
Dive
master, managed to get a
hold on the
wire, but had
to let go as the
shark swam
off.
“We couldn’t
hold on to the
lure, because
we didn’t know
if there were
more hooks in
there”, said Mr.
Cain, “there
was a chance somebody could
get seriously hurt, in the end we
had to give up”, he said.
His main concern was that the
steel wire could get caught in
a boat propeller and cut off the

”
whole upper part of the sharks
fin.
Incidentally the date the injured
whale shark was spotted coincided with the Roatan Fishing
Tournament which took place
from 15th to 18th September.
“I am not a large advocate of
fishing tournaments”, said
Utila Mayor, Alton Cooper.
“The participants are mostly
wealthy people who use highly
sophisticated equipment, which
leaves a very small chance for
the fish.”
He remarked that there should
be more effort put into releasing the catch and there should
be ways to conduct such tournaments more ecologically
than is currently the case.
“But I am sure these fishermen
didn’t catch that whale shark
intentionally”, he adds. “But
sports fishermen have to realize
that they are taking the bread
out of the local commercial
fishermens mouths.”
Around Utila fishermen catch
fish by using only a hand line,
a much more primitive method
and hence not that efficient,
but a lot more environmentally
friendly.
As for the whale shark in our
story, Mayor Cooper has some
good news as well: “The hook
Whale Shark
in the tailfin will deteriorate
within a few weeks.”
So hopefully the big fish will
soon be freed of its man made
parasite and continue to put big
smiles on the faces of divers
who are lucky enough to swim
with it. ■

channel up towards the shoreline
where you’ll find valleys of Hydrocorals by the thousands. The
sea fans alone are worth the trip
but mind the surge. Along the iron
shore, the depth is a mere 15ft.,
but who can resist watching the
crashing waves, penetrating colours and a chance to see some of
Utila’s rare gobies.
Back at the buoy, advanced divers
might choose to turn right where
the bottom of the wall gradually
slopes towards 80ft. At 60ft., 4
swim throughs can be found;
some as long as 30ft. in length.
Even though they run along
these sandy channels. Mind the
tight squeeze on a few of them.
Use your discretion, it’s not really about digging your way
through. You can still hit the Iron
shore for your reciprocal dive but
give yourself a little extra time to
cut across the sand patches and
coral gardens. Watch for Jawfish,
Nudibranchs and Strawberry tunicate that inhabit this area. ■
Timed breath holding, no movement, usually in a
pool. After a controlled breathe up divers lay face
down in a pool until they need to breath, when attempting you must signal regularly to a spotter on
the surface.

forgotten sport on the
island of Utila, freediving has recently been
attracting a new band of followers.
Enticed by the serenity of gliding beneath the surface of the
ocean unhindered by clumsy
equipment, freedivers aim to
A
achieve perfect balance and
control over their bodies.
“It`s total mind and body relaxation, you feel euphoric
- a natural high!” said Sharon
Queitzsch, IANTD Freediving
Instructor.
Previously freediving was enjoyed by many island residents
who took advantage of the perfect conditions to constantly
improve their techniques.
Annual competitions were
pioneered by the infamous Ted
Danger, who in 1998 managed
to coerce the record breaking freediving duo, Pipin and
Audry to Utila.
“Everyone used to have a go
for fun, some took it further
and got really good,” said
Goran Claesson, Dive Instruc-
tor.
However, enthusiasm was lost
after a tragic snorkelling accident resulted in the death of one
of the islands most renowned
and well-liked freediving participants.
Obviously, going for extended
periods of time without breathing has its safety issues and
should not be attempted alone.
The most prominent danger
is of shallow water black out,
this usually happens on ascent
when oxygen levels deplete
before CO2 levels trigger the
urge to breathe and you black
out.
That’s where spotters come in,
they watch and monitor physical reactions to hypoxia (lack
of oxygen) and are on stand-by
to provide help should anyone
lose consciousness.
By following a simple breathup before submersion, you can
maximise oxygen levels in the
body and eliminate waste CO2
enabling you to survive without air for longer.
Minimising movement that
consumes precious oxygen
supplies as well as using positive mental strength will further prolong your dive time.
Many freedivers practise yoga,
meditation and visualisation
techniques, “I like to imagine
that I am being injected into
the ocean by a syringe,” claims
Pipin Ferreras.
It has been suggested that the
art of freediving is only 10%
physical ability compared to
90% mental ability.
“This explains why women
can match the men in this
sport, we`re stronger willed”
said Ms. Queitzsch, who is
currently offering free static
apnea classes on the island.
Tempted? anyone can take up
freediving, you don’t have to
be super fit, but if you want to
really test your limits a healthy
diet and lifestyle are important.
Top free divers compete to surpass previous records, as divers
reach ever increasing depths,
they must continuously push
their bodies to the limits.
Unfortunately despite extensive safety support systems a
number of high profile divers
have lost their lives attempting
great depths.
The current record in the “no
limits” discipline is 209m held
by Patrick Musimu.
Medical experts warn it is seriously dangerous for divers to
continue to pursue records at
these depths. ■

This site must have been a favourite for divers years ago. It lost it’s
buoy and has since nearly been
forgotten. Located just past Rocky
Point, its diversity makes it Utila’s
most well rounded site. Great for
all levels of certification and training dives. Take advantage divers,
because with a little west wind,
conditions are ideal this time of
year. When the south shore is
blown out, this place is golden.
Take note of the Iron shore that
jets out toward the new buoy. This
is your best underwater landmark
for finding the boat.
The reef starts below the boat at
35ft. and is pretty consistent the
length of the wall. Sand channels
slope down from the shallows and
cut through the reef to open up
into the blue. Open water divers
should keep left and explore the
shallow reef that veers in closer
to the iron shore. Coral croppings
meet the flat sandy ocean bed at
65ft. Be sure to comb these flats
in search for stingrays. Allow
about 5 minutes to follow a sand

Range Circumtropical
Description White underside,

head and long whip like tail.
Where to find them on Utila
Eagle rays are often spotted
gracefully sailing over reefs
and sand, usually alone but
sometimes in pairs or groups.
Can be spotted all around the
island, regularly seen on the
south side, especially around
airport caves and Teds Point.
Can also be seen from docks
in the bay at night.
Did you know Spotted eagle
rays vary across different
regions, Atlantic individuals
have many more spots than
their Indo Pacific relations.
The species is currently under
review, it may turn out to be a
species complex rather than a
single species. ■

Another successful clean up
T
his
September
17th 2005 saw the
20th anniversary
of PADI’s Project
A.W.A.R.E.’s International
Clean-up Day.
You may remember in April
we held the annual Dive Into
Earth Day Clean-up, which is
also an international event.
In April all the businesses,
schools, dive shops and community, united together to
clean the islands beaches.
The cayes had a very impressive in-water clean up and the
main dock and the two main
bar docks also received a
good clean with mostly plastic cups and beer bottles being
retrieved, it all looked superb.
Only five months later as
you go to the more remote
areas around the island you
may also see the state of the
beaches has deteriorated since
last April.
Early in September I toured
the island taking photos and
trying to decide where needed
cleaning most and it is a very
hard decision!
After much deliberation Utila
Dive Center and Cross Creek
Dive Center headed to Pumpkin Hill Beach.
23 Vounteers from BICD and
the Iguana station took a boat
to Little Bite.
It was a successful day with
over 67 bags of trash filled.
An interesting study took
place as well; we had a few
people in the group focus on
one thing and ended up with
over three to four bags of just
shoes. We found 16 syringes,
luckily only one with a needle
still attached.
For the most unusual find it
would have to be a butt plug,
how this person identified
what it was I’m still unsure!
We enjoyed a hot mosquito
infested session picking up
trash.
You may ask why there is
so much trash. It is washed
onshore from the sea, where
unfortunately the practice of
dumping everything 25miles
offshore still takes place. The
U.S. coast guard regulations
(http://www.boatsafe.com/
nauticalknowhow/boating/4_
2_f.htm) state that it is illegal
to dump plastic anywhere at
sea.
Yet this is not an international
rule and 75% of what was
found at Pumpkin Hill Beach
was plastic. This may come
from the mainland, the cayes
or even Cuba, for example
last years clean-up we found
a plastic bottle from the Dominican Republic.
All the trash collected ends up
at Utila’s town dump.
When this area becomes overfilled bulldozers head in and
compact it.
You may see small amounts
of black smoke fill the sky as
the municipality burns any excess. ■

Like a turtle, this month will bring you a feeling of curiosity and contentment. Pick your path and realize it was

Sand flies getting to you? Don’t worry! This month is
going to make you forget they even exist. How does happiness, harmony and good looks sound? The next few

finding harmony in yourself. Hold your head high and
maintain neutral buoyancy.

Another year has come and gone, your birthday was one
to remember and a step forward. Use this time to reflect on
what’s important to you. You have come a long way with

The perfect person is right in front of you. Take some time

Though bad luck has come your way remember that it was

increased. Every action has a reaction, so good fortune is on

You are unsure what the rainy season is going to bring.
Don’t worry! The rain is going to make you grow. Clean

ocean. Make time for yourself.
Aquarius
Jan 20 - Feb 18
If life on the rock is bringing you down, think of those who
dream of being here. Life is always good and nobody said it
would be easy … but easy brings less reward. You are surrounded by beauty, so let it energize you. Spend time with
your friends and family and always speak the truths.

Lady luck is about to give you a kiss. Keep your eyes open
and there is no way to miss it. Opportunities are all around,
it’s first a matter of picking the one that’s best for you. Just
remember, share this luck with others, it can only bring
more.

tilas soccer league is
made up of six different
teams, the Dolphins, Tigers, Sherryl, Juventus, Calis
and the Sharks.
Right now the two best teams are
the Dolphins and Juventus, on saturday they will face each other for
the second time this season.
This time the Dolphins are bringing two second division players
from the mainland so the competition is definitely going to pick up.

on to win the championship. ■
