Discussion about Re-Election continues
Not enough Time for Constitutional Amendment / Rally
According to the constitution, President
Danilo Medina can not be re-elected for a
second term. The President himself shows
no ambition, that he would be willing to do
so. Nevertheless, since several months there
are demands to change the constitution of
2010, or for a constitutional amendment to
allow the reelection of the popular
president.
Cesar Pina Toribio, Legal Adviser to the
Government, said recently, that there was
not enough time left to change the
constitution before elections next year.
Likewise, Cardinal Nicolás de Jesús López
Rodríguez, who was very displeased for the
“lax” approach of the President to Haitian
issues and for his opposition to the new
Criminal Law to partly permit abortions,
vehemently opposed a constitutional
amendment for his re-election.
On the other hand Gédeon Santos, a leader
of the ruling PLD party, said there was still
plenty of time for a constitutional amendment. He called for a system like in the
United States, where the president may be
re-elected once, but then never again.
On 28 January, thousands of demonstrators
gathered before the Congress in Santo
Domingo to demand for a re-election of
President Danilo Medina.
After former President Hipólito Mejía
applied as a candidate for the opposition
party PRM, now his party colleague Luis
Abinader did the same. Leading PRM
members asked Mejía to contain his own
ambitions and to support Abinader.

Less Murders due to 911
In the first six Days, more than 3,000 Calls for Noise Annoyance / Lower Murder Rate
The Vice Minister of the Presidency and
speaker of the emergency call system 911,
Zoraima Cuello, announced that in the first
six days after the introduction of the
possibility to complain on noise annoyance
to the emergency number 911, the staff on
the phones received 3,307 calls.
At a press conference, Zoraima Cuello said:
“92 percent of the calls were for noise
annoyance due to loud music, seven
percent of the complaints were for street
merchants and workshops and one percent
was for music outside the allowed time.”
In 2,442 cases, the Police Department was
informed and 37 businesses were fined and
838 speakers were confiscated by the
police.
Zoraima Cuello added: “It is good to know
for the public that all reports of noise
annoyance will be accepted from the
authorities, but it is important to clarify that
possible emergencies in the health sector
will be treated with preference by the teams
in the line of duty.”
The Speaker of the emergency call system
emphasized that the authority was in
contact with the town halls to coordinate
that these will not issue any permits that
violate the law and cause noise pollution,
especially when the election campaigns
begin, in religious activities or street parties,
which interfere in the peace and tranquility
of the citizens.
But she also made it clear once more that
911 does not accept complaints to denounce loud-speaking female neighbors, or
children who cause unnecessary noise in
the neighborhood. But the government
never allows that the peace and tranquility
of the Dominican citizens are disturbed in
residential areas and neighborhoods.
In Santo Domingo, the violence since the
introduction of the emergency call system
911 on May 30, according to data from the
Attorney General Francisco Domínguez
Brito, the rate of violent deaths fell significantly behind that in the past year. The
emergency call system had a direct and
positive impact on the homicide rate in
Greater Santo Domingo, which declined by
213 violent deaths in comparison with the
previous year.
He pointed out that the statistics showed a
significant and lasting decline in these cases
since June, which in his opinion goes with
increased surveillance, video cameras, prevention and rapid reaction of the authorities
after calls from the public.
Domínguez Brito said, in 2014 the murder
rate was the lowest for ten years, with a
reduction of 18.63 to 17.18 murders per
100,000 inhabitants.
From 2004 to 2013, the murder rate in the
Dominican Republic was at 18.63 to 25
murders per 100,000, and thus significantly
higher than last year, said the Attorney
General.
Carnaval Dominicano
Mixture of Catholic Tradition and Celebration of Independence / More German Tourists
February is the month of Carnival in the
Dominican Republic. In the strongholds of
Carnival, colorful and stately processions
with masks are held traditionally every
Sunday in February. The most famous place
for Dominican Carnival is La Vega. Almost
all national and some international stars of
rank and name are coming on the stage,
from Johnny Ventura and Miriam Cruz over
Raulín Rodríguez and Mozart la Para up to
the Colombian star Carlos Vives and the
popular Dominican comedians Raymond
Pozo and Miguel Céspedes.
In Puerto Plata it was thought whether to
move the installed stands away from the fire
station, because many elderly residents
complained about noise annoyance and
thefts. But probably the place will be the
same again this year - from next year on,
major events of this kind will be carried out
in the then finished amphitheater at the
Fortaleza San Felipe. The typical figure of
Carnival in Puerto Plata is the Taimáscaro to be seen on the cover of this issue.
Carnaval is one of the oldest traditions of
the country that produced different masks in
different regions. The most common and
popular is certainly the Diablo cojuelo
(photo). It is recorded that already in the
16th century there have been masks for
carnival celebrations in Santo Domingo.
Today Dominican Carnival is a mixture of
celebrations of independence after the Haitian occupation and the Catholic tradition,
which is why it doesn't end on Ash Wednesday as in other Catholic countries.
According to information from the Central
Bank (BC), in 2014, the Germans got ahead
of the French as the largest group of tourists
from Europe in the Dominican Republic. At
the airports of the country, 230,733 German and 229,678 French tourists arrived.
Compared to the previous year 2013, it
means a total of 16,582 more Germans,
while there came 3,076 French less.
Other important markets in Europe were
Russia (180,821), Spain (150,859), United
Kingdom (126,563) and Italy (82,000).
Overall, last year 4,465,000 tourists arrived
by plane, of which 26 per cent were of the
European Union.
LA SABIA
The Page of Health
2014, Year of Crisis
Chikungunya and Scandal in October / Only three Percent for Preventative Health Care
The year 2014 was as specified a year of
crisis for the health service by the Dominican Political Observatory (Observatorio
Politico Dominicano - OPD), an affiliate
institution of the Funglode. Primarily the outbreak of chikungunya has to be blamed for
this, on which officially 524,297 people
were contracted and some died, as well as
the scandal in October, when on one single
weekend eleven infants died the hospital
Robert Reid Cabral in Santo Domingo.
In the report published recently, Juan Pérez
Osorio of OPD-Funglode pointed out on the
poor results of the various base indicators
that showed “some of the traditional weaknesses in the Dominican health care”.
“In 2013, the Ministry of Health (MSP) spent
about 60 percent of its funds for the
medical treatment (45 percent for inpatient
and 15 percent for outpatient care), while
just three percent of the budget were spent
for the preventative health care," lamented
Pérez Osorio.
At the same time, he said, there is a
mismatch in terms of administrative expenditure (13 per cent) in comparison to
other important areas, such as the provision
of drugs for outpatients (eight per cent) and
rehabilitation (one percent); which is higher
than the average for Latin America and the
Caribbean (eight percent).

Pérez Osorio said, presently the Ministry of
Health disposes of more than five times as
much resources as before the reform of
2001. But the resources allocated by the
government funds to subsidize the part of
the population which is not covered by
health insurance, still are not sufficient.
Furthermore, the per capita expenditure for
health in the Dominican Republic is much
less than in the countries of the region with
comparable incomes.
Your Horoscope for February 2015
Month of Changes for Leo / Few Opportunities for Aries / Scorpio needs to be careful
This will be a month that is fully positive for
you; not too rich with opportunities, but
absolutely without any problems or
significant barriers. If you have your own
business, then you may be confident that
February is the best month for total
modernization. Replacing human resources,
improving technical equipment - any aspect
that you will dedicate some attention to will
receive a powerful dynamic development.
This month is a great time to test yourself
and also prove to others what you are
worth. Do not forget that many things
depend not just on you, but on the many
people around you, each of which has their
own wishes, tasks, and goals. So do not
worry if something will go astray due to
some external influences. Everything will
happen the way it should and in the end
you will certainly reach your goals.
This month will bring significantly less
opportunities than you hoped for. There will
not be a total disappointment or a truly
insolvable problem. Most likely these problems at first glance seem insignificant, but
are crucial in reality. However, falling into a
fatalistic mood now would be a big mistake.
You must keep calm and collected, breathe
in deeply, and concentrate on the current
tasks. Believe in your intuition.
This month may surprise you with a sudden
turn of events. You do not have to be afraid
of a possibly life-defining choice suddenly
arising before you. It may define your life, in
part, but the thing is that not a single option
will be fully negative. You will just have to
choose what feels more right to your heart,
a choice that will reflect your nature the
most. Do not be afraid of a sudden
separation, maybe it is for the best.
You should be especially careful to avoid
starting a chain of events that may bring a
negative outcome. You should be patient
and do not try to resolve problems in
arguments. Use your diplomatic abilities, try
to be as attentive as possible. Try not to get
disappointed, you are not the only one
having a complicated time. Collect yourself,
do not get aggressive, just try to be objective in your evaluations.
There will not be any special opportunities
this month. So concentrate on the current
tasks, but do not try to maintain your
attention on everything. If you have problems, then divide them into groups and
make decisions according to their importance. You feel that now is the time to wait,
to collect your strength and resources, to
wait for the moment when you can suddenly attack and capture any fort.
This might be a month of changes. Not
fundamental changes, but they will still
influence your life. Just be careful, as you
are not all-powerful and something may not
go according to plan. If that will happen,
then display perseverance and durability.
Remember - everything is indeed in your
hands and any problem may be resolved.
Do not be afraid of responsibility, if you
know what you do.
You have enough energy to fight and win.
The main thing is to believe in yourself and
do not give up, no matter what. You have
lost a real opportunity more than once in
the past, most likely because of your lack of
decisiveness. You cannot let that happen
now. You are moving in the right direction.
Do not turn away, even in the moments of
greatest doubts, or perhaps - especially in
the moments of greatest doubts.
This month will be rich with problems, but
also with possibilities. It is unlikely that you
will be able to use all of these possibilities.
Most of the problems will occur because of
your past mistakes, which means that you
will be able to get at least experience from
an otherwise murky situation. The results of
your work will say much more than any
words or actions in the end, so nothing will
go to waste. Be careful with your health.
You need to be especially careful with what
you say and to whom. You may even offend
your best friend by accident. Of course, he
will not say anything to you and will likely
forget about it immediately - that is why he
is your friend. However, this happening will
not reflect positive on your relationship. It’s
a trivial matter, but even more serious
situations are possible. In your relationship
you need to be more careful.
You will be capable of stabilizing relationships that have been a source of problems
since long ago. The problems that have
been worrying you for a long time now will
find a resolution. It is likely that the
resolution will be quite simple, but you were
incapable of reaching it for a number of
reasons, including stereotypical thinking.
This will be a good lesson for you, one that
will teach you to look at the world as it is.
This will not be the most outstanding month
for you. Your biggest task right now is to
maintain what you have, not to multiply it.
Imagine yourself in a sieged castle, awaiting
for upcoming support to arrive. Going into
open battle would be a serious mistake,
while planning your strength to support
yourself for the required time is the correct
decision. Calm down, focus, and find your
way out, seeing where your strengths lie.
Amara la Negra
Santaye
Pussy Ban
Wants to conquer Homeland
“El Canario”
Marries long-time Partner
The new song of Amara la Negra (“Ay, ay,
ay”) in collaboration with the rapper N-Fasis
displeased both, her fans and the CNEPR,
the National Commission for Public Events
and Radio. “Toto” (pussy) is the first song of
the controversial Música urbana, which is
blamed for often obscene texts and lyrics
glorifying violence and drugs, which was
banned by the censors in the new year.
Thus, the song (“you won the lottery when
you found my pussy”) may not be played
neither in radio nor on television nor on
public events.
“We appeal to those young people who
make music, to seek good advice to take
their careers to the best way. We are very
sorry that this young lady has no family or
friends, which could help to put her on the
best way”, said J.M. Hidalgo, chairman of
the CNEPR.
At the same time, this prohibition also
included several songs of rapper N-Fasis,
such as “La yerba y el perico” (The grass
and the cocaine). N-Fasis complained that
his collaboration with El Mayor Clasico,
“Como quiero ta”, which does not contain
any bad words, was also banned. The
people who don't like his music wanted to
do anything to block him.
Born in the southwestern province of Baní,
singer Santaye, who is produced by the
former Aventura member Lenny Santos in
the USA, now wants to conquer her
homeland with her Bachata. This year,
Santaye was nominated as the best Tropical
artist for the prestigious Premios Lo Nuestro for the second time.
José Alberto "El Canario", one of the old
Dominican Salsa stars, married his longtime
girlfriend Terely Leger in Punta Cana, with
whom he has two children. Instead of
wedding gifts the couple asked to donate
money for the children's home La Casa
Rosada, where HIV-infected children find a
home and care.
Venya Carolina
Greetings for the Queen
Bob Marley
Concert for 70th Birthday
Scorn and derision were the reactions for
the often scandalizing television presenter
Venya Carolina after her performance in
“Divertido con Jochy” where she called
Jennifer Lopez her personal friend and sent
greetings to Queen Elizabeth II who would
watch the program now.
On 6th of February, the first superstar of the
Third World, who died on 11 th of May 1981,
the Jamaican Bob Marley, would have been
70 years old. To honor his work and legacy
there will be organized the concert “Sounds
of Jamaica” in Puerto Rico's capital San Juan
on 6th of February, attended among others
by the Puerto Rican Reggae singers Millo
Torres, Don Carmelo and Gomba Jahbari,
the Jamaican Don Carlos or the Italian
singer Alborosie.

What is this Guy singing?
“Eso da pa to” by Marino Castellanos
In the eighties and nineties, Marino Castellanos was a popular Bachata singer. Then he faded from the spotlight, but
returned around 2011, albeit with his old style. Cynical and witty as ever his latest hit “Eso da pa to” from 2014.

Marino, man!
Marino Castellanos was one of the most
popular Bachateros of the older generation
in the eighties and nineties, to be
mentioned in a row with Ramón Torres or
Ramón Cordero. The demand for his kind of
Bachata was fading away, when this then
disreputable genre of music which was seen
as music for pubs and whores, was
modernized and made presentable by
artists such as Antony Santos and Luis
Vargas. Nevertheless, the music of Marino
Castellanos never was forgotten, like “El que
nada tiene nada vale” (The one who has
nothing, is worth nothing), “Qué me lleve
quien me trajo” (Shall the one bring me
back who has brought me) or “La piscina”
(The swimming pool).
Once he even worked as a security guard to
eke out a living. But producers remembered
Marino Castellanos again from 2011. His
latest hit from 2014, “Eso pa as to”, shows
that they were right, because at the moment
it can be heard at each and every corner.

In the evening of Shrove Monday a totally
drunk man staggers across the parking lot at
the railway station. A passer-by noticed how
he scans all car roofs.
“Hey, what are you doing there?,” he calls
the drunk.
“I am looking for my car,” came the
stammering answer.
“Yes, but what are you looking for on the
roofs of the cars, all of them are the same!”
The carouser answers, “Nonsense, my car
has a light on top!”
Each row, column and square has to contain
the numbers from 1 to 9. X-Sudoku must
show these numbers also on the two diagonal lines. Solutions on page 12.
A young man moves into town and is
looking for a job in a large department
store. The manager asks him, “Do you have
any sales experience?”
The young man proudly answers, “Sure, in
the place where I come from, I was always
the top seller!”
The manager likes the confident young man
and gives him the wanted job. After the first
day, the manager asks the young man,
“Well, how many customers did you have
today?”
The young man, “One.”
“What? Only one? Our sales people have an
average of 20 to 30 sales a day! And how
much did you sell?”
Young man: “210,325 dollars and 65 cents.”
Manager: “210,325 dollars and 65 cents?
What did you sell?”
Young man: “First, I sold a small fish hook to
the man, then a medium size fish hook, then
an even bigger fish hook and eventually I
sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked
him where he wanted to go for fishing. He
said, 'Up on the coast'. So I told him that he
would need a boat. So we went to the boat
department and I sold him that twin engine
Seawind. He thought his Honda Civic will
not be able to pull this boat, so we went to
the automotive department, where he took
the Pajero four-wheeler.”
Manager, “Do you mean, a man came to
buy a fish hook, and you sold him several
fish hooks, a new fishing rod, a new boat
and a new SUV?”
The young man answers, “No, no, as a
matter of fact the man came to buy a pack
of tampons for his wife. Then I told him:
'Now that your weekend is fucked anyway,
you could as well go fishing.'”

“Yes, that's a good idea, but what should I

Good Advice
A man goes to the doctor and tells him that he
hasn't been feeling well. The doctor examines
him, leaves the room and comes back with
three different bottles of pills. The doctor says,
“Take the green pill with a big glass of water
when you get up. Take the blue pill with a big
glass of water after lunch. Then just before
going to bed, take the red pill with another big
glass of water.” Startled to be put on so much
medicine the man stammers, “Jeez doc,
exactly what's my problem?” The Doctor says,
“You're not drinking enough water.”
