Ambergris Caye is well known forits broad range activities, visiting theruins or exploring the deep blue Carib-bean Sea. However, if you have a littlebaby, what do you do to keep that babyentertained? An amazing and wonder-ful option is to visit Sol Spa, located atthe Vilma Linda Plaza on Wednesdaysand Sundays for a full hour of playtime. Children, aged six months tothree years are welcome to a time ca-tered especially for them. The session consists of sing-a-longs,story book telling, and a play time,

where all the children take time get-ting to know each other. In an inter-view with Leya Aycock, instructor,The San Pedro Sun found out that thesesessions incorporate song and move-ment in order to achieve memoriza-tion, coordination and dexterity. “Us-ing body parts through songs helps chil-dren in labeling identification andmovements,” she explained. The classes began three weeks ago,after Leya returned from visiting fam-ily in Portland, Oregon. While thereshe attended one such class and thought

Playtime at Sol Spa! that it would be great to start classes in“La Isla Bonita.” Leya continued, “Itis really great for kids to socialize. Kidslight up when making friends and theylearn from each other. I simply wantedto provide a fun positive space for them

to interact.” Classes are held every Wednesdayand Sunday at Sol Spa and begin at 8:30a.m. A donation of $5 is required. So,bring your baby for a fun and enlight-ening play time!!!

At playgroup, children are able to interact with others and make new friends,while playing and learning as well.

Mothers bring their babies for playgroup, and they have a chance to catch upwith other mothers while their children have fun with others their age.


The tales of female buccaneers arejust as clouded by legend as their malecounterparts, or perhaps even more so.However, regardless of all the swash-buckling myths and silliness, these womenwere real criminals, who committedperhaps the most daring theft of all—seiz-ing a violent, active life from the grip oftheir oppressors. Some call her a feminist who chosepiracy as a way of rebelling against amale-dominated world; others portrayher as a tomboy who never grew up.Whatever her motives, daring AnneBonny is the most infamous woman pi-rate and was considered a plunderer,cutthroat, sailor, ransomer, raider, andgeneral menace to maritime commercein the Caribbean. In short, most piratesprobably would have considered her anasset to their trade. Anne Bonny was born in Kinsale, Ire-land in the late 1690’s. She was the daugh-ter of a penniless maid and her employer,a well-to-do lawyer who was then mar-ried. After their tryst was discovered,the two ran off to America and estab-lished themselves as respected plantationowners in South Carolina. For youngAnne, however, the rural comforts ofplantation life were far less alluring thanthe stories floating around the nearby portof Charleston, a well-known pirate haunt.Apparently bored with life on her father’s

Anne Bonny –Infamous woman pirate

licly stripped her fencing instructor with her sword, and that she severely beat aman with a chair for making a pass at her. While much of these stories are probablypure fiction, it’s no more so than the exaggerated tales of male pirates and outlaws.However, it is her exploits at sea that gained Anne the most notoriety. She not onlyraided with Calico Jack, but also with Jack’s lieutenant, with whom she developed amutual attraction. He turned out to be none other than Mary Read. The two womenrevealed their gender to each other, and may have had a lesbian romance. Eventu-ally, both were known as bloodthirsty, daring female pirates, swinging their bladesand boarding ships, fighting with even more courage than the men—as they provedin their final battle. In 1720, a former pirate turned pirate-hunter, Captain Barnet,attacked Calico Jack’s ship. Rackham and almost all the pirates were drunk, and thecannon fire was so thick the men hid below decks. Anne Bonny and Mary Readstood their ground, fighting furiously. Outraged by the men’s cowardice, Anne issaid to have shouted, “If there’s a man among ye, ye’ll come out and fight like themen ye are to be.” When this got no response, Anne and Mary shot the malepirates, killing one and wounding several—including Jack Rackham. But despiteAnne and Mary’s ferocity, the pirates were captured. All were hanged, except for Anne and Mary, who “plead their bellies,” claiming

to be pregnant because while the ever-‘chivalrous’ laws of the time gavewomen no rights whatsoever, it was ille-gal to execute a pregnant woman. Afterthe trial, Anne Bonny disappeared fromthe historical record; she may have beenhanged a year later, but apparently, shewas granted a reprieve. Patriarchal theo-ries abound: some say she reconciled andreturned to her father, others her hus-

“If you had fought like a man, you would not now be hanged like a dog.”Anne Bonny said, while she and her supposed lesbian lover, Mary Read,pleaded pregnancy to escape being hanged.

plantation, Anne was drawn to a life ofadventure. Pirates frequented Charles-ton, and before Anne was out of her teensshe had married James Bonny, a ren-egade seaman and sometimes pirate. Ap-parently, James planned to steal WilliamCormac’s land through the marriage, andAnne’s father disowned her. Legend hasit that in retaliation, Anne burned the plan-tation. The couple fled to the pirate ha-ven of New Providence, in what is nowNassau. James proved a coward and atraitor, becoming a paid snitch for thegovernor. Anne distanced herself fromhim, preferring the company of theisland’s notorious pirates and the womenand gay men who loved them. She soon became romantically in-volved with the dashing pirate “CalicoJack” Rackham (nicknamed for his loudstriped pants), who had just comman-deered a ship full of liquor from his formerboss, pirate captain Charles Vane. WhenJames Bonny objected to the affair, heabducted Anne, brought her naked be-fore the governor and charged her withthe felony of deserting him—Anne wasconsidered to be stolen property. CalicoJack suggested instead putting Anne upfor sale to the highest bidder, a ‘kinder’legal practice for divorce at the time.Despite Jack’s rather less-than-roman-tic proposal, as well as a court orderJames got forbidding Jack and Anne tosee each other, Anne ran away withCalico Jack, joining his ship’s crew, ap-parently disguised as a man. Anne proved a daring and deadlyfighter, using a sword and pistols. Thereare many tales of her violent temper,beginning with her alleged stabbing mur-der of an English serving-maid whileAnne was a teen on her father’s planta-tion. Supposedly, while on shore in NewProvidence she became such an expertfencer and troublemaker that she pub-

band, and there’s even the ridiculousmyth that she became a nun. However,regardless of her fate, one would guessthat after such a life of adventure, shecould never stand a traditional woman’sconstrained life, or even obey the law.The fact that we hear nothing more aboutAnne may speak volumes; there may benothing to tell, or there may have beensomething to cover up. Along with Mary Read, Anne Bonnyis one of the rare instances in historywhere a woman’s pirate’s life is known.The fact that they both were able to hidetheir gender to the crew is amazing; andin the end, the women’s brave battleagainst the boarders while the rest of thecrew cowered deserves respect in itself.


The Maya were some of the best as-tronomers to ever live on this earth.Their primary interests were in ZenialPassages - when the sun crossed overthe Maya latitudes. Most of the Mayacities were located south of the Tropic ofCancer, which is the northernmost pointthat the direct vertical rays of the sun willcome in contact with on a semi-annualbasis, or once every solstice. Scholarstoday are recognizing that Mayan my-thology is intimately related to the celes-tial movements of stars, the Milky Wayand certain constellations. The Milky Way is our own galaxyviewed from the inside. It is a vast col-lection of more than 200 billion stars,planets, nebulae, clusters, dust and gas.Our own sun and solar system are alsopart of the Milky Way galaxy. On clear,dark nights, this portion of the galaxyappears as a broad, milky-looking bandof starlight stretching across the sky.When observed through an entire year,this band appears to circle completelyaround us in the sky. Dark gaps in theband consist of clouds of gas and dust thatblock out light from the stars behind them.From a really dark location, the Milky

Way is even bright enough to cast shadows. The Milky Way was much venerated by the Maya, and was revered as the Cos-mic or First Mother. The star clouds that form the Milky Way were known as theWorld Tree, which were illustrated as a tall and majestic flowering tree, the Ceiba.The Milky Way was also called the Wakah Chan. Wak means “Erect” and Chanmeans “Sky”. A major element of the Tree was the Kawak monster. Glyphs of thiscreature show a sacrificial bowl placed on top of its head, containing a flint blade,which might represent sacrifice, along with the Kimi glyph which represents death.

On top of the World Tree there is a bird called the Principal Bird deity, or Itzam Ye.There is also evidence that shows the sun on the World Tree as it appeared to theMaya at Winter Solstice. During the months of winter, when the so-called “Winter” Milky Way dominatedthe sky, it was called the White Boned Serpent. This part of the Milky Way passedoverhead at night during the dry season. It is not brilliant like the star clouds thatdominate the sky north of the equator during the summer months, but observers atdark locations will easily see the glow. The Milky Way converges with the dawningDecember solstice sun in a process caused by the precession of the equinoxes. Thisinvolves the slow wobbling of the earth’s axis, which causes the stellar frame toslowly shift. To observers on earth, it causes the position of the winter solstice sun toslowly move in relation to celestial background features such as the Milky Way. The

winter solstice sun was called the FirstSun, the First Lord, First Father or Cos-mic Father, because it is the first day ofthe year, the beginning of the sun’s an-nual rebirth into increasing daylight. The Mayas followed two calendarsthat together accurately followed the sun,the moon and the stars. One intriguingpoint is that the Mayan calendar has anend date, and most agree that the date isDecember 21st, 2012. Needless to saythere is a lot of debate between arche-ologist and scholars across the world try-ing to project what is going to happen in2012, but according to Mayan astrology,on December 21, 2012, an alignment willoccur between the galactic and solarplanes, spurring a sacred union of theCosmic Mother principle (our MilkyWay’s Galactic Center) with the CosmicFather principle (the solstice sun). Inmythological terms, this event is aboutthe union of First Father with FirstMother or, more accurately, the birth ofFirst Father (the winter solstice sun - theNew World Age ruler) from First Mother(the dark-rift in the Milky Way). In otherwords, the winter solstice sun will junc-tion with the Milky Way. The Milky Wayis considered the edge of our galaxy, andsome prophesize this is going to be theend, or beginning so to speak, of the worldas we know it. According to Mayan astronomy,where the sun meets the Milky Way isexactly where the “dark rift” lies in theMilky Way. Approximately 2,100 yearsago, when the Mayan’s first devised their

Like other pre-Columbian civilizations,the Maya had a profound knowledge ofthe sky. The Mayan practice of as-tronomy was relegated to the “ilhuicatlamatilizmatini”, or “wise man whostudies heaven”. These ancient astrono-mers would map the skies from insidean observatory, using a pair of crossedsticks stationed in a window or doorwayto determine the position of a star.

Stela 5, from Izapa, is the largest and most complex stela at the site, and itdepicts an enormous World Tree that bisects the composition. The tree stretchesfrom a watery basal layer at the bottom to a celestial band at the top. A series ofmythic and quasi-historical scenes appear on either side of the tree, while thebodies of two zoomorphic beasts frame the scene on either side.

calendars, the dark-rift in the Milky Waycould be observed some 30 degrees abovethe dawning winter solstice sun. Thedark-rift is a black ridge along the MilkyWay caused by interstellar dust clouds.Anyone can see this “dark rift” if youlook at the night sky during the summeraway from any light pollution. At dawnon the winter solstice of December 21st,2012, the sun will be right in this dark-rift, and the orientation is such that theMilky Way rims the horizon at all pointsaround. The Milky Way “sits” on theearth and touches it at all points around,opening up the cosmic sky and aligningthe galactic and solar planes. Mayan leg-end most frequently explains the “darkrift” as the birth canal of the CosmicMother, to complement the Cosmic Fa-ther. When these early sky watchers dis-covered precession of the equinoxes, theyrealized that every winter solstice thecosmic birth canal was moving closer andcloser to the dawning sun. The Mayanscalibrated the process, and fixed theirCreation Mythology to the future align-ment as described. A full cycle is com-pleted in roughly 26,000 years. One must marvel at the fact that theancient Mayans were aware of this align-ment thousands of years ago and consid-ered it to be of such importance that theyreferred to it as the Creation of a NewWorld Age.

Red HeadPolly Red Head (English)Sanalo-todo (Spanish)Ix-canan (Mayan)

Scientific Name: Hamelia patens Jacq.Plant Family: RubiaceaeDescription: Semi-wood shrub to threemeters tall; leaves deeply veined, red-tinted, to 6-20 centimeters long; flow-ers bright orange-red, tubular; fruit ared berry, turning black when ripe.Habitat: Pastures, old fields, road-sides.Traditional Uses: Ix-canan, meaning“guardian of the forest” in Maya, isused to treat all skin problems, sores,rashes, burns, itching, cuts, fungus, andinsect bites - boil a large double hand-ful of flowers, leaves and stems in twogallons of water for ten minutes; bathearea with warm mixture. Dry and pow-der plant to sprinkle on stubborn soresor ulcers after bathing with plant partsas above; cover with gauze and keepclean. Make decoction (boiling plantparts with water) from entire plant anduse as sitz bath or drink as tea (threecups daily) to alleviate menstrualcramps/pain. For sting from bees,wasps or “doctor fly,” apply warmedleaf as poultice or crush fresh leavesand rub juice on sting. The fruits areedible. To make a household “iodine,” boilthree stems approximately 25 centime-ters long in three cups of water for tenminutes; add rusty nail for 15 minutes;strain off and bottle.Research Results: Tests with this plantshow a great deal of biological activ-ity, especially in the antibacterial andanti-fungal area. For example, an etha-nol (95%) extract of dried leaf yieldedin vitro activity against Staphylococcusaureus, and a water extract was activeagainst Escherichia coli, Salmonellatyphosa, Sarcina lutea, Serratiamarcescens, and Shigella flexneri(Jimenez Misas et al. 1979b). Analge-sic activity was shown in rats from amethanol extract of dried leaf at a dose

of 770 mg/kg (Esposito-Avella 1985).Anti-fungal activity against Neurosporacrassa was shown in ethanol, ecetoneand water extracts of dried stem at aconcentration of 50% (Lopez Abrahamet al. 1981).This column is NOT intended to be aguide for self-treatment of a medical

The wide variety of Red Head, with its tropical colors, has universal appeal as agarden plant, and thus is available throughout Belize.


Vultures are large, short-tailed,solitary birds of prey. They are di-vided into two groups: Old Worldvultures (family Accipitridae, 15 spe-cies) and New World (American)vultures (the voiceless, hissing fam-ily Cathartidae, six species, includ-ing the California Condor and the Tur-key Vulture). Vultures live on allcontinents except Australia and Ant-arctica, usually in open country. TheTurkey Vulture (Cathartes aura) isfound from southern Canada, throughthe United States and throughoutSouth America. The elusive natureof the Turkey Vulture has resulted inthere being very little known abouttheir general behavior and social or-ganization. The turkey vulture stands 25” to32” tall. The head of turkey vulturesis perhaps the most unique charac-teristic, being very small in size whencompared to the large body. The headand neck are red in color and lackfeathers, with the exception of a thinlayer of down. Because this speciesdoes not kill in order to attain food,its claws and feet alike have become

rather weak appendages for grasp-ing. The small, hooked beak is usedto tear flesh and is light in color.Males and females are similar insize and coloration. Compared tomost other birds vultures have a longlife span and can live up to 30 yearsin captivity. Turkey Vultures have broad,strong wings and are powerful fly-ers. At adult size, the wings cover adistance (when extended) of aroundsix feet and form a shallow “V” shapewhen in flight. The feathers arenearly black, but the lower half of thewings on their ventral surface is sil-

very white. They have the slowestwing-beat of any bird, at one wing-beat per second, and can fly up to 43miles per hour. The Turkey Vulturecan coast for hours, swaying from sideto side, as it searches for a carcass.As they soar, vultures ride on risingcolumns of warm air called thermalsto conserve energy as they covermiles of territory. The importance ofthis energy saving is a clear fact thatwe seldom see a Turkey Vulture ona windless day, when thermals do notform. Turkey vultures are scavengers,exclusively eating carrion (dead ani-mals). Most of their time is spentsoaring gracefully over the land insearch of the animal carcasses onwhich it feeds. Their keen senses ofboth smell (unusual among birds) andsight aid in the location of rottingmeat. Vultures have strong gastricjuices, and some can even digestbones. The ability to locate food andthen communicate the discovery toother individuals over fairly long-range distances accurately has yet tobe fully comprehended in the scien-tific world.

During the breeding season, malespair off with females and nest on theground under overhanging cliffs, inlogs and in caves. The female laysfrom one to three light-colored eggs.Vulture eggs hatch after a long incu-bation period and both parents sharein caring for the young. If food isscarce after the eggs hatch, thelarger chick may kill its smaller,weaker sibling. Because their diet consists of car-rion, vultures act to remove infectedcarcasses from the environment be-fore they pose a threat of disease toother animals or humans in the area.On occasion turkey vultures and otherlarge birds impact aircraft in flight,which can cause expensive damageto engines and fuselage. However,this is a rare occurrence and airportsworldwide employ methods of deter-ring birds from runways. Turkey vul-tures are fairly common throughouttheir range and are not currentlythreatened.

Because their diet consists of carrion, vultures act to remove infected carcassesfrom the environment before they pose a threat of disease to other animals orhumans in the area.

(Right) Turkey Vultures have broad, strong wings and are powerful flyers. Theyhave the slowest wing-beat of any bird, at one wing-beat per second.

The head of turkey vultures is per-haps the most unique characteristic,being very small in size when com-pared to the large body. The head andneck are red in color and lack feath-ers, similar to the Turkey, to which itis compared.

Finally, the wait is over. Conchseason is open again and we can eatall the fresh conch ceviche and soupwe want! Conch tastes great on ourplates, but have you ever thoughtabout the life of a conch before it getscaught? Conch are actually in the snailfamily, which is the largest class ofmollusks, with over 35,000 species.Mollusks are sea creatures that havesoft bodies and no true skeleton, butthe majority make a shell for protec-tion. These shells are made of cal-cium carbonate and are made by thespecial outer tissue layer of the ani-mal called a mantle. Conch have a tube-like mouth,which is called the proboscis. Theeyes are on the base of two tentaclesthat you can sometimes see stickingout of the shell. They drag themselvesalong the bottom of the ocean floorusing what is called a foot. Anyone who has even been free-diving for conch knows that they livein sea grass beds and sand flats. Theyare often found around different typesof reef. In the first year of its life,conchs live in shallow, sub-tidal ar-eas, where they bury themselves inthe bottom. When they get older, theystart to move into deeper water.When a conch is a larva, it eatsplankton. But, when it gets older itbecomes a grazer and eats algae,grasses and other organic matter.They eat with a tongue-like organ thathas thousands of tiny parts that actlike teeth.

The Queen Conch can start repro-ducing at 3 ½ - 4 years. They lay eggsin a jelly like string that is 50-75 feetlong and can have as many as 185,000to 460,000 eggs! The closed seasonfor conch is July 1st to September 30th,which is when most conchs repro-duce. The season is closed so the sur-viving conch will be able to producemore conch to eat during future openseasons. Remember that it is up to you tohelp protect our conch fishery! Allconch should have a shell that is atleast seven inches long and the mar-ket clean weight should be more thanthree ounces. No fisherman shouldbuy, sell, of have fillet or diced conchmeat other than market clean conch.If you pick up an undersized conch,throw it back so it can grow up toproduce more conch so we can eatceviche and conch soup for years tocome.

Get ready for conch season!

“What have you been doing with yourself, Willie? I haven’t seen much of youlately.” “Not too much,” Willie said, taking a sip of his drink. “I don’t get aroundquite as well as I used to so I’ve been staying home a lot doing some inventing.” “Inventing? What have you invented?” “I’ve actually invented three things that I’m going to try to get patents for,”Willie said. “I’m going to market them myself.” “What are they?” “Well, I invented a folding bottle. You can just fold it up and stick it in yourpocket and re-use it.” “Wow! A folding bottle is a great idea. What do you call it?” “I call it a fottle.” “A fottle?” I said. “Ooh, I don’t know Willie. That’s not a very appealingname. I don’t know if you could market something called a fottle.” “I invented a folding carton, too,” he said. “That’s a great idea. What do you call that?” “I call it the farton.” “Whoa, Willie,” I said. “What you name something is very important if youare going to try to sell it. I don’t think anybody is going to buy something calleda farton.” “Well, hell,” Willie said. “ If you don’t like the fottle and you don’tlike the farton you’re going to hate what I named my folding bucket.”
