Lights out at the creek
HAVANA, Cuba, October 28 (Reinaldo Cosano
Alén / www.cubanet.org) - Residents
of the Indalla and La Cuba neighborhoods,
outside of Palma Soriano, Santiago de Cuba
province, have been trying to get some light
around a creek they must cross to get to
the center of the city, to no avail.
The problem, a burnt-out bulb, has been
harder to overcome than would appear reasonable.
Local resident José Salazar said
the electric company at first said they
had no bulbs. "Residents pooled together
and got the dollars to buy the bulb at the
dollar store, but now the power company
says they can't install it, because they
have no fuel for the truck with the tall
ladders."
Salazar said neighbors are concerned because
there have been several reports of holdups
and drug dealing at the creek.
