MARTIN’S BBQ Healthy Fast Food
Martins BBQ has been a family owned business since 1962, the founder Martin Rosado sold it to his grandson, Raul
Rosado, in 2000. And that is when he began developing Martin’s BBQ as a franchise. There are 22 locations across the island, nine of which are franchises and thirteen are still under Raul Rosados’ ownership. Aguadilla is home to two of the franchised chain. For twelve years, Martin’s BBQ has served us healthy fast food out of their store front on Rd. #2 and less than a year ago they opened up a store front on the booming restaurant lane Rd #110 outside of Gate 5. They currently provide jobs to twenty-seven residents of Aguadilla. Martin’s BBQ prides itself in good service and is committed to providing the healthiest fast food around. “We are in the fast food business, therefore there is no comparisons when if comes to other fast food restaurants, lets take the big fast food chains for instance; they don't come close to our

standard of quality, we have rotisserie chicken, made to order, broiled root vegetable, our rice is made regularly…” explained Carlos Nuñez, one of Aguadilla’s franchise partners. “And as for the road side trucks they use frozen grade C chicken.” He went on to explain that the chicken is never frozen, it goes from the farm straight to processing where it is seasoned then shipped to the 22 locations across the island and is used with in 1-2 days. Martin’s BBQ is a healthy option for a quick meal that uses local products. They even have a special menu that is 600 calories or less. Martin’s BBQ serving Puerto Rico healthy, fast food for over five decades.
Martin's BBQ ha sido un negocio familiar desde 1962. El fundador Martin Rosado se lo vendió a Raul Rosado, su
nieto, en el 2000 y él lo ha desarrollado en franquicias. En este momento se compone de 22 restaurantes, de los cuales nueve son franquicias y trece corren bajo franquicias que son del dueño Raul Rosado. En Aguadilla encontramos dos de estos restaurantes. Por más de doce años Martin’s BBQ, localizado en la cartera #2, le ha servido comida rápida y saludable a la comunidad y hace menos de un año abrieron un restaurante en el muy transitado paseo de restaurantes en la Carr #110 al salir del Gate 5. Actualmente le dan empleo a 27 residentes de Aguadilla. En Martin’s BBQ el buen servicio es primordial y están comprometidos en servirle la mejor comida rápida y saludable en esta area. “Nosotros somos un fast food pero no hay comparativa con los demás fast food, si venimos hablar de las cadenas de fast food no hay manera de que toquen nuestro producto, el pollo es asado, hecho al momento, tenemos el arroz constantemente hecho fresco, viandas hervidas…”, explica Carlos Nuñez, socio de las franquicias de Aguadilla. “En cuanto las guaguas de pollo asado, los precios son iguales que nosotros pero el pollo es congelado y de grado C”. Luego explicó que el pollo de Martin’s BBQ nunca es congelado vá directamente de la granja al procesamiento donde se sazona y es enviado a las 22 tiendas alrededor de la isla el mismo día y se utiliza en 1 a 2 días. Martin’s BBQ es una opción saludable para el ámbito de la comida rápida que utiliza productos locales. Incluso tienen un menú especial de 600 calorías. Martin’s BBQ servido a Puerto Rico comida rápida y saludable por más de cinco décadas.

THE ART OF CARLOS SANTIAGO Archeological Artifacts & Resilient Reminiscence by Alexander Rosado
Carlos Santiago's solo exhibition at the Guanica Museum opened recently and as I entered the well lit gallery space I immediately felt both a welcoming force and a surrounding almost humid sense of earthy nature as I began to notice the paintings on the walls. A furtive feeling floods me as if being suddenly transported to a collective ancestral reunion space, a shamanic cave where materials and symbols present express a desire of transferring and communicating some ancient shared dialect, visceral in spirit, and somewhat foreign in ways with respect to time. The vernacular was made understandable at a deeper level where the magic of the land, the earthen sedimented clay which life has haunted, consumed, and made its abode, maker of men, myths and collective memories, fused with the grace of Carlos memories filled the space. Gaia, Sophia, Boriquen, mother land, common spirits present in our muses – deep rooted presence felt transcending time and space. The beauty, reminiscent of pigmented archeological artifacts and findings, reflecting muted hued tones where irrepressible and resilient memories disperse and impress themselves, possessing the body of work. Carlos states the following: “I believe that the recurring theme in my work is the quest for an identity and an archeological memory. My work is a reflection of what I am and what I have been, my identity and my work go hand in hand and I can not detach myself from my identity. The elements that make my work persuasive are the drawing or draftsmanship which is our DNA in art, and my life experiences which are also unique, and I believe that we must add the character with which we embark in the work. I am a laborer of art and nothing immerses me more than when creating, in that moment the best version of Carlos Santiago comes forth.”

“I believe that the recurring theme in my work is the quest for an identity and an archeological memory....”
La exhibición individual de Carlos Santiago en el Museo de Gca abrió recientemente y mientras entré al bien iluminado espacio de sala pude inmediatamente percibir tanto una fuerza de bienvenida como un arropado sentido de naturaleza terroso casi húmedo, al tanto que comenzaba a notar las obras en las paredes. Una sensación furtiva me inunda como si fuera transportado instantáneamente a un espacio colectivo de reunión ancestral, una cueva chamanica donde símbolos y materiales presentes expresan un deseo de transferir y comunicar algún antiguo dialecto compartido, visceral en espíritu y en alguna manera extraño con relación al tiempo. El vernáculo fue hecho comprensible a nivel mas profundo donde la magia de la tierra, el barro sedimentado que la vida ha poseído, consumido, y hecho su guarida, hacedor de hombres, mitos y memorias colectivas se fusiona con la gracia
“I started out in art as a small child just like my uncles, sisters and parents, during the evenings we would watch movies and sit down to draw and paint – that was my beginning. My creative process is intense to the point that on occasions I don't even need materials to create and when I'm creating I pour all my passion onto the work. I know when the work is finished by when the work itself lets you know that it needs no more.” Personal memories and stories can be received and transmitted through the mind and senses and can be felt and perceived as happening right now. The more personal and specific the memory/story the more universal it becomes. Welcome to our archeological grounds.

PRODUCTOS MONTEMAR Preserving the island flavors
When Julitza Nieves first participated
in the Mayaguez Mango Festival in 2006, she didn’t realize she was starting a business. She crafted her first mango jam and her mother entered it in the dessert competition at the festival. She won. Three years later, Productos Montemar opened their first certified kitchen in the Camaseyes neighborhood in Aguadilla. Julitza started with and maintains the vision of a sustainable food system, bringing high quality products that use only ecologically grown fruits from the island. She even keeps it local with her sweetener, using evaporated sugar cane juice, and maintains the highest percentage possible of purity in the products.
The company believes in providing
accessible and delicious products and fresh, organic fruits to their island community, while being true to the land and maintaining the highest quality. Julitza can’t do this alone. Her partnerships with other farms allow Productos Montemar to keep a wide selection of local products. While most ingredients come from the small farm where the factory is located, she also partners with Guillermo, an organic farmer that owns two farms in Cabo Rojo and San German, where the rest of the fruits (and their delicious peanut cookies) come from. No source is too small and even the tamarinds come from a neighbor’s yard.
Productos Montemar is in a unique position of being an agricultural company and a certified artisan. They are Certified Naturally Grown, but are also licensed as artisans because of the focus on using local fruits for their products. Some of the ingredients that are a challenge to find include jobos, guava and mamey. This season you can find new kinds of products from Productos Montemar. One of the most popular is a green mango-turmeric chutney. In addition, you’ll see more no sugar added jams and juices, as well as gourmet products with flowers. Using solar dehydrators at the factory, they are introducing seasonings and dry turmeric. Look for Productos Montemar in Aguadilla Farmers Market, Mercado Agroecológico de Rincón, Mercado Agroecológico Natural de Ponce, Dulcis Vitae in Rincón and Departamento de la Comida in Santurce.

En el 2006, cuando Julitza Nieves participó por primera vez en el Festival del
Mangó en Mayagüez, no se dió cuenta que estaba empezando un negocio. Ella hizo su primera mermelada de mangó casera y su madre la ingresó en un concurso de postres del festival, y ganó. Tres años después, Productos Montemar abrió su primera cocina certificada en el Bo. Camaseyes de Aguadilla. Julitza mantiene la visión de un sistema alimentario sostenible, haciendo productos de alta calidad utilizado solamente frutas cultivadas ecológicamente aquí en la isla. Incluso hasta el endulzante es local, usa guarapo (jugo de caña de azúcar), y mantiene el mayor porcentaje posible de pureza en sus productos.
La compañía cree en proveer productos accesibles y deliciosos, frutas frescas y orgánicas, a la comunidad de la isla; simultáneamente siendo fiel a la tierra y manteniendo la más alta calidad. Julitza no puede hacer esto sola. Sus asociaciones con otras fincas ayuda a que Productos Montemar tenga una gran variedad de productos locales. La mayoría de los ingredientes vienen de una finca pequeña donde mismo se encuentra su fábrica. Su socio Guillermo, un agricultor que tiene fincas en Cabo Rojo y San Germán, le provee las demás frutas (y sus deliciosas galletas de maní). Ningún recurso es demasiado pequeño, incluso los tamarindos provienen del jardín de un vecino. Productos Montemar se encuentra en una posición única de ser una empresa agrícola y un artesano certificado. Son Certified Naturally Grown pero también tienen licencia de artesano porque se enfocan en usar frutas locales para sus productos. Algunos de los ingredientes que son difíciles de encontrar son la guayaba, el jobo y el mamey. Esta temporada Productos Montemar nos trae ofrendas nuevas. Uno de los más populares es un chutney de mango verde y cúrcuma. También verás más mermeladas y jugos sin azúcar añadida y productos gourmet con flores. Usando disecadores solares en la fábrica estarán introduciendo sazones y cúrcuma secas. Pregunte por Productos Montemar en el Aguadilla Farmers Market, Mercado Agroecológico de Rincón, Mercado Agroecológico Natural de Ponce, Dulcís Vitae en Rincón, y el Departamento de la Comida en Santurce.
TAINO MINI GOLF Putt Your Way Through a Taino Yucayeque
Taino Mini Golf is Aguadilla’s first innovative eco-friendly, family "edu-tainment" option of its kind. Never played mini golf before? One of their friendly staff members can teach you the simple putting stroke on the course or practice putting green. Taino Mini Golf can set up demonstrations at your school or work place. Mini golf is a great way to spend quality time with your family and friends since you can walk and talk together while partaking (pun intended!) in some friendly competition. After or before the game you can gather in the café area, which serves specialty pizzas, Nathan’s hot dogs, Isla Pops, milk shakes, smoothies, and other refreshments. The courses’ Taino theme is much more than a visual aesthetic of the mini golf; by incorporating information about the Taino people as well as replicas of their structures and artifacts we can gain a better understanding of Puerto Rico’s history while playing. Having a low carbon footprint was an important factor when constructing the course and clubhouse. First, they started with a 20,000 gallon water cistern that collects the rain water from the roof and the canal; which supplies all the water for irrigation, toilets, and river system, thereby only using city water for the bathroom and kitchen sinks. The clubhouse was built with the Gulf Concrete Technology system, consisting of a foam interior and a concrete exterior on the walls and roof to keeps the interior cool and comfortable and reducing the need for continual air conditioning. The entire project was designed to protect the environment by collecting rainwater from the roof, using grass-crete in the parking lot, gravel driveways and pathways in which all the water is used or absorbed on site. The lighting Taino Mini Golf installed is mostly Solar powered LED lights or conventional LED lighting so as to minimize our use of electricity. Taino Mini Golf ingeniously incorporated education with entertainment in a green building providing our community a healthy venue to spend quality time together. Kids 3 and under are free! Kids (4-12) $7 and Teens & Adults $9. Taino Mini Golf offers weekly specials Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday nights, as well as group pricing for ten or more people. Large groups need to pre book.

El Taino Minigolf
es el primero en su clase en Aguadilla. El edificio es eco-amigable, se enfoca en entretener y educar mientras compartes con tu familia y amigos. ¿Nunca has jugado minigolf? Uno de los amigables empleados le mostrará lo simple que es golpear la bola con el palo de golf en la cancha o en el lugar de practica conocido como el putting green. Incluso Taino Minigolf puede llevar demostraciones a su escuela o al trabajo. Taino Minigolf es una buena alternativa de compartir con familiares y amigos ya que pueden caminar y charlar juntos mientras participan en una competencia amistosa. Antes o después del juego pueden reunirse en el café donde ofrecen pizzas artesanales, Nathan’s hot dogs, Isla Pops, batidas, frappes, y otras opciones. La temática del Taino es mucho más que una estética visual del campo de mini golf; mediante la incorporación de información sobre los taínos, réplicas de sus estructuras y artefactos podemos obtener una mejor comprensión de la historia de Puerto Rico mientras se juega. Dejar una huella baja en emisiones fue un factor importante cuando se construyó el curso y la estructura. Primero, comenzaron con una cisterna de 20.000 litros de agua donde se acumula el agua de la lluvia del techo y el conducto, el cual suministra toda el agua para el riego, inodoros, y el sistema de río. Solamente se usa el agua de la ciudad para el baño y cocina. La estructura o clubhouse fue construido con el sistema llamado Gulf Concrete Technology , donde se usa una espuma especial en el interior y hormigón en el exterior de las paredes y el techo para mantener el interior fresco y cómodo y así reducir la necesidad de aire acondicionado. Todo el proyecto fue diseñado para reutilizar las aguas pluviales para proteger el medio
ambiente mediante la recolección de agua de lluvia desde el techo, usando grama y bloques en el estacionamiento, caminos y vías de piedra por lo cual toda el agua es utilizada o se absorbe su terreno. Para la iluminación instalamos luces LED solares o LED convencional, de modo que se minimice el uso de la electricidad. Taino Minigolf incorpora ingeniosamente la educación con entretenimiento en un edificio ambientalmente consciente en que la comunidad puede divertirse sanamente en familia o con amistades. ¡Niños menores de 3 años juegan gratis! Niños de (4-12) $7 y Jóvenes & Adultos $9. Taino Minigolf ofrece precios especiales los miércoles, jueves y domingo en la noche. También, hay ofertas para grupos de 10 o más, estos deben de llamar anteriormente. Visitalos en Facebook/tainominigolf&café, llamen al 787-658-6480 o siganlos en insta/tainominigolf para información actualizada.
Invest in Locally Owned Businesses We need to understand that these Locally Owned Businesses
are the real pillars of a prosperous, sustainable local economy. A growing body of evidence suggests that every dollar spent at a locally owned business generates between 2 to 5 times more economic benefit - “measured in income, wealth, jobs, and tax revenue”- than a dollar spent at a globally owned business. That’s because locally owned businesses spend more of their money locally and thereby pump up the so-called economic multiplier. Other studies suggest that local businesses are critical for tourism, walkable communities, entrepreneurship, social equality, civil society, charitable giving, revitalized downtowns, and even political participation. Locally owned businesses currently generate half of the private economy, in terms of output and jobs. Yet local businesses receive none of our pension savings. Nor do they receive any investment capital from mutual funds,
Invierta en negocios con propietarios locales
Es necesario entender que los negocios locales son los verdaderos pilares de una economía local próspera y sostenible. La evidencia nos surgiere que cada dólar usado para comprar en un negocio local genera entre 2 a 5 veces más beneficios al negocio, “medido en ingreso, bienes, empleo e ingresos fiscales”, en comparación con un dólar usado para comprar en una empresa global, ya que los negocios locales usan la mayoría de su dinero a nivel local lo cual estimula el llamado multiplicador económico. Otros estudios sugieren que los negocios locales son cruciales para el turismo, comunidades peatonales, el espíritu empresarial, la igualdad social, la sociedad civil, las donaciones benéficas, renovación urbana, incluso, la participación política. En términos de producción y empleo, negocios locales actualmente generan más de la mitad de la economía privada. Sin embargo, las empresas locales reciben cero de nuestros ahorros de

venture funds, or hedge funds. The result is that all of us, even stalwart advocates of community development, overinvest in the Fortune 500 companies we distrust and underinvest in the local businesses we know are essential for local vitality. This situation represents a colossal market failure.
The Multiplier Effect; Every time there is an injection of new demand into the circular flow there is likely to be a multiplier effect. This is because an injection of extra income leads to more spending, which creates more income, and so on. The multiplier effect refers to the increase in final income arising from any new injection of spending. The size of the multiplier depends upon household’s marginal

pensiones ni reciben ningún tipo de capital de los fondos de inversión, capital emprendedor, o fondos de cobertura. El resultado es que todos nosotros incluso los abogados fieles al desarrollo de la comunidad invierten excesivamente en las compañías del Fortune 500 que tanto desconfiamos e invertimos poco en las empresas locales que sabemos son esenciales para la vitalidad local. Esta situación representa un gran fracaso en el mercado.
Efecto multiplicador
Cada vez que hay una inyección de nueva demanda al círculo de flujo hay, probabilidad para un efecto multiplicador. Esto se debe a una inyección de ingresos extra, el cual conduce a un mayor gasto, lo que genera más ingresos, y así sucesivamente. El efecto multiplicador se refiere al aumento de la renta final que surja de cualquier nueva inyección de gasto. El tamaño del multiplicador depende de las decisiones marginales de la casa, llamada la Propensión Marginal al Consumo (PMC), o para ahorrar, que pasa a llamarse la Propensión Marginal a Ahorrar (PMA).
decisions to spend, called the marginal propensity to consume (mpc), or to save, called the marginal propensity to save (mps). It is important to remember that when income is spent, this spending becomes someone else’s income, and so on. Marginal propensities show the proportion of extra income allocated to particular activities, such as investment spending by local firms, saving by households, and spending on imports from abroad. For example, if 80% of all new income in a given period of time is spent on local products, the marginal propensity to consume would be 80/100, which is 0.8. The following general formula to calculate the multiplier uses marginal propensities, as follows: 1/1-mpc Hence, if consumers spend 0.8 and save 0.2 of every $1 of extra income, the multiplier will be: 1/1 - 0.8 , = 1/0. , = 5 Hence, the multiplier is 5, which means that every $1 of new income generates $5 of extra income. Es importante recordar que cuando se gasta el ingreso, este gasto se convierte en ingreso de otra persona, y así sucesivamente. Propensiones marginales muestran la proporción de ingresos adicionales asignados a determinadas actividades, tales como el gasto de inversión de las empresas locales, el ahorro en los hogares, y el gasto en importaciones extranjeros. Por ejemplo, si el 80% de todos los nuevos ingresos en un determinado período de tiempo se dedica a los productos locales, la propensión marginal al consumo sería 80/100, que es de 0,8 La siguiente fórmula para calcular el multiplicador utiliza propensiones marginales, como sigue: 1/1-PMC Por lo tanto, si consumidores gastan 0,8 y ahorran 0,2 de cada $ 1 de ingreso adicional, el multiplicador será: 1/1 - 0,8, = 1/0. , = 5 Por lo tanto, el multiplicador es 5, lo que significa que cada $1 de nuevo ingreso genera $5 de ingresos extra.
