 I received some sad news today. One of our old timers of the East Cape area Joe Minto of La Ribera passed away in San Diego CA today. He has bee n sick for quite awhile and I guess the old body finally gave out. He and I first came to the East Cape area almost 30 years ago and we have really seen some changes since then. I don't have any information about what kind of services will be held other than I know it has always been his wish to be cremated and have his ashes placed in the Sea of Cortez. If I hear any more details I will pass them on, Gracias Baja Fred

Cabo Pulmo Reef - We are very proud to announce that we have just been advised that SEMARNAT has revoked the permits for the mega development known as Cabo Cortez that threatens the Cabo Pulmo Reef. The developers seek to build 7816 homes, 3655 hotel rooms, a 490 slip marina, 2 golf courses, 5000 employee residences, an airport and commercial areas all right next to the Cabo Pulmo reef a UNESCO World Heritage Natural Site. This is a great victory for those of us who love the reef and believe that a sustainable tourism model is possible.

We want to thank you for all of your support. Whether you helped spread the word or helped us collect signatures, congratulations are deserved by us all. This was, above all, a collective achievement. Recognition should also be given to the accurate and timely decision by SEMARNAT, which showed a welcome sensibility to the voice of civil society. We should be filled by hope in knowing that the voice of organized citizens is capable of creating great changes, when backed up by sound science and presented in a respectful way, through the appropriate institutional channels.

Cabo Cortés, as would be the case with any person or company, has the right to request these environmental permits again, be it with the project we know, or a modified version. We trust that, if they so decide, more attention will be paid to the information they present to the public, to the voice of the local community and to the current planning instruments for the region. A huge congratulations to Pedro Zapata and the supporters of Cabo Pulmo Vivo, http://www.cabopulmovivo.org , as well as those from Agua Vale Mas Que Oro, (En Espanol: www.paredonesamarillosno.com , Google Translation into English: www.paredonesamarillosno.com,  who supported this important initiative. - Cabo Pulmo Vivo Agua Vale Mas Que Oro, 145-0050

Hola Compadres! It's that time of year again amigos . . . . Are you ready for some Football? Smokey's will once again be hosting an online football pool and anyone interested can join in the fun. The pool is called SMOKEY'S PICKEM and is being hosted on a website called www.officefootballpool.com.  The cost is $115 for the season. That's $5 per week (17 weeks / $85), a one time $10 admin fee, and $20 in the pot to be paid out at year's end to the top three players. Please note Smokey's Grill and Cantina makes NO MONEY for hosting the pool! It is also important to note that I, Smokedoggydogg am a Player who is eligible to earn money but in the three previous years of hosting the pool, I have never won a weekly payout (Ouch)!

*Admin fee covers cost paid to hosting website, and postage and money orders regarding payouts in the States, etc.

It's very easy to join and play. Here is how it works. You simply log on once a week from anywhere in the world and make your picks. You pick the winner of each game (including point spreads). You then assign each game a number between 1-16 (when there's 16 games), or 3-16 (once bye weeks begin). You want to assign the higher numbers to games you have most confidence in. If you win the game, you get the corresponding points. So, the winner is the highest scorer, not necessarily the player with the most wins. You can change your picks at any time prior to game time of first games played.

Players can also set autopick options in case they are unable to get to a computer to make their picks. Autopick options include Favorites, Underdogs, Home Teams, Road Teams, and Random. Players can also take advantage of professional game and team analyisis on the site. Feel free to "Trash Talk" to other players too.

We pay winners out weekly. For Baja California Sur players, we pay out in cash at Smokey's. Amount depends on number of players, i.e. 30 players = $150 weekly payout, 40 players = $200 weekly payout, 50 players = $250 weekly payout, etc.

Regarding the season-end jackpot, First Place earns 50%, Second Place earns 35%, and Third Place earns 15%. Again, total jackpot amount determined by number of players, i.e. 30 players = $600, 40 players = $800, 50 players = $1000,

Pool fees must be paid in full prior to first game of the season (Thurs., Sept. 9th)!

Remember, you do not have to be a professional gambler to play. In fact, my mother-in-law is usually good for a couple of wins per year and she usually just lets her grandchildren make her picks! You are welcome to invite any friends or aquaintances who may be interested in playing. For Baja California Sur players, pool fees can be paid at Smokey's Grill & Cantina. To join, follow the instructions below. Pool Rules are posted within the pool itself but I'll post those again via a poolwide e-mail
