Tela:
Tourists will find more reasons to flock to the North Coast
Howard Rosenzweig
Honduras This Week

Photo: Honduras This Week Archives
Like these birds on Tela Bay, tourist may soon flock here because of ambitious plans to improve hotels, beaches, streets and general infrastructure.
At one time, Tela was a major banana port, buzzing with industry and activity. The old pier and a few stately banana company buildings stand all but ignored, testaments to the glory days of Tela’s storied past. Although Tela has seemingly fallen on hard times, an awakening of sorts is in the air – this tropical North Coast town is now turning its attention towards tourism. Full Article

TO WHOM DO WE OWE A BIG ROATAN ‘THANK YOU?’
There he was, one man with one shovel, against the traffic and the elements. He was manually filling in the cracks, giant holes and crevices in front of Petro Sun, on both sides of Bo Jangles’ driveway, an amazing feat of strength and ingenuity. No heavy equipment, no massive trucks, no expenditure for materials, no building permits, no environmental impact study, just a couple hours of semi-hard work with a shovel. By Don Pearly

HEALTH Matters:
Proper first aid prevents chronic injuries
Ivonne van Leest
Sports Physical Therapist
Honduras This Week
When we go and watch our children play soccer, basketball or volleyball, there usually aren’t any (sports) physical therapists or medical professionals on hand to help out if an injury occurs. So, when an injury does occur, there we are, feeling helpless as to how to apply proper first aid. Many people think they know first aid and offer a variety of suggestions, some good and some bad. One person advises to take the child to the emergency room, another says to apply heat, while yet another says to apply cold. It can get pretty confusing. Grown-ups playing recreational sports often don’t know what to do when they twist their ankle, stumble in to another athlete or make a wrong move with their knee or back.Full Article

In “Michael Clayton,” George Clooney more than just a pretty face

Back in 1999, when George Clooney chose to leave “ER,” when it was still a ratings, critical and Emmy Award powerhouse, many questioned his bold career choice.
