Lotsa good folks at Ramon's. I am not big on flashy signs, but you can't forget all the good they do all the time. I love em deeply. They are a wonderful resort, and a great place to stay.

Best to chat with them. If lots of folks don't like it, at least that can be made known to them.

I'm sure the people who live and work here are great and run an efficient resort. No one here has a problem with them, its the owners. Have the Headricks ever asked the people of San Pedro if they WANTED electronic billboards all over the island? I don't believe so. If one goes in smack in the middle of town, how long will it take before there are more?

hey,The Town Board said nothing when he sprinkled his billboards from one end of the island to the other. Why not roll the dice.
I never for the life of me could figure out how he expected to get a return on the 2 million usd in advertising he spent a few years ago. The ads are at the destination.Duh?

I wouldn't be opposed to that in principle, but where will the traffic go?

He owns a sign company that makes that type of sign.
and it also can be used to spread his Born Again religious beliefs like the one at the airport.

BELIZE WATER SERVICES SAYS SAN PEDRO PROJECT COULD POSE PROBLEMS


On Thursday Love News reported on a project that the San Pedro Town
Council, headed by Mayor Elsa Paz, was carrying out on Main Street to
install a clock
. The project entails digging holes over infrastructure
that the Belize Water Services has already installed at the site. In the
previous interview on the matter San Pedro Mayor, Elsa Paz, has said that
BWS Operations Manager, Dave Pascacio had only indicated concern over
future work at the site and that the San Pedro Project would allow for
adequate space for that. Today, however, Pascacio told Love News that the
company had rejected the Council's idea to erect the clock there from day
one.


Dave Pascasio - Operations Manager, BWS
"The initial contact was made by Mr. Guerrero from the Council to our
supervisor in San Pedro, Mr. Locke. Mr. Locke then reported to me. Upon
initial review of our infrastructure in the area, I thought it necessary to
go to San Pedro and meet with the Council. I went there on Friday,
unfortunately I did not meet with Mr. Guerrero, I met with the person
financing the project and a representative from the contractor. I asked
Mr. Steve to give us some more time to further review our infrastructure,
but I objected there and then. I don't have his last name but he said he
was financing the project. I objected on two grounds, the construction
could pose a threat to our infrastructure so that's during the construction
phase, because they would have to expose our pipes, we have two pipes there
both sewer and water main. I asked Mr. Steve to give us until Monday
afternoon which was the 24th so we can put our concerns in writing. On the
24th morning I received a call stating that construction had started and
that was when I wrote to Mayor Paz stating our objections from the two
grounds; during construction our infrastructure could be damaged and after
construction because the four columns would saddle our infrastructure, our
pipes. If we had a break there we would not have enough access to maintain
our pipe if there is a break because of the nature of the soil in San
Pedro, by the time we get there is already a big hole and that would
jeopardize the integrity of the structure so it was both to look out on
their behald and our behalf."

Marion Ali - Reporter
So at no point in the conversation did you say go ahead but only to a
certain level, it was always objection from the beginning?

Dave Pascasio - Operations Manager, BWS
In my conversation with Mayor Paz I used the words catastrophic and
devastating. Those were my two words.


Marion Ali - Reporter
And her response?

Dave Pascasio - Operations Manager, BWS
"She alluded to the fact that she heard my concern but she thinks I am only
objecting for the future, who would be responsible if something happens in
the future. But then she said they would be going ahead with the project."

While Mayor Paz has gone on with the project, the Central Building
Authority has put a halt on it.
