| 26-Jan-2005 | UPCO Price Jumps Again - by Troy Bodden “The electricity price is too high and the people of Utila want to lower it,” said Troy Bodden Sr., owner of Utila Water Sports. Many islanders agree. Lance Bodden, Dennie Bush, Agusto Reyes, Patrick Flynn, and Julio Bardo are leaders in the protest to lower the electricity price on Utila. According to UPCO (Utila Power Company) on Wednesday Jan. 26 about 10% of the islanders turned off their power in protest, hoping that UPCO would lower the price of a kilowatt hour. The lights were shut off from 9AM till 12PM. Until May 2003 , ENEE (Empresa Nacional de Energia Electrica) was the power company on Utila. It charged L.1 per KWH . When UPCO took its place it started out charging L 2.50 per KWH. Since then the price has gone up four times, “because of rising prices of fuel,” said Ricardo Flores, current manager of UPCO. The most recent UPCO price rose from L 4.05 to L5.80 per KWH because the tariff went up for the second time. “We have people to pay,” said Flores, when asked, “Why does the price have to be so high?” “They promised to buy wind generators and have not,” said Lance Bodden, owner of a bike repair shop. “They promised the people would be able to afford the electricity, and they have not yet come through with those promises.” |

Utilians Buzz Over Cruise Ship - by Destiny Cooper About 150 people from the cruise ship Windsurf visited Utila on Tuesday, Jan. 18, an arrival which had the whole island buzzing. Many Utilians are pleased while others are fearful the tourists from the cruise ship, called cruseros, will bring unwanted change to the island. "I think it's good," said Maritza Bodden , who runs a small grocery store. "The only reason people don't like it is because it's the first time it (the ship) has come and they have to get used to it." Many of the people went walking around the island sightseeing and going into local stores such as Bush's Supermarket. A few locals had souvenirs for sale like bags and T-shirts with Utila on them. Some went on jet skis and others went horseback riding. While the people from the cruise ship appeared to be enjoying themselves, a few Utilians were less than thrilled. While several local businesses hoped to profit from the sudden rush of tourists, it seemed only Utila Dive Center was able to rent snorkeling and scuba gear. Everyone who came ashore had to pay $3 per person, money that will be used for road maintenance. The cruise ship, a member of the Windstar company, is on a seven-day Caribbean cruise. The ship sails from Cozumel, Mexico, with stops in Puerto Cortes, Omoa, West End and Utila, in Honduras, and Belize City. The ship carries 350 passengers and will stop in Utila every Tuesday for the next six weeks. Some young people are optimistic about the cruise ships coming to Utila. "Change has to happen," said Chloe Chirinos, 15. "There is no sense in staying one step behind when the rest of the world is moving forward." |
| 20-Jan-2005 | Teens Try to Change Law - by Troy Bodden Many teenagers wanted to change the driving age on Utila and they failed. The law says a driver has to be 18 or older to drive, and the teenagers wanted to change the age limit to 15. Until late 2002 kids of all ages could drive motorcycles. However there was an accident involving an underaged driver named William Howell who hit a child. After the accident underaged kids could not drive anymore. Jem Williams Jr. led 24 teenagers into a meeting with the mayor at his dive shop in mid-November. They told him they wanted permission to drive motorcycles. The mayor offered to let three people out of the group speak with the governor. They spoke with him and they were rejected. Everyone was disappointed. |
