As always, if you're here in the East Cape and can be an "on-site" reporter we welcome all reports and photos if and when it's possible.
Which brings me to another topic, be sure you sign up for the BPE so you can receive an email each time I send out a new BPE.   This is especially good if there is a storm or if something important happens here in Paradise.
To sign up, send an email to bajaponyexpress3@gmail.com or on the Main/Home Page there is a signup window.
Thanks, Cheryl

We are really progressing in making our paradise a lot more secure for everyone.  
We have been successful in obtaining a commitment of ten additional municipal police officers on a semi permanent basis. We are working on making this assignment permanent and have obtained high level support from officials at all levels. This commitment of additional police personal to Los Barriles is significant and was one of the groups primary goals.  We have also had discussions as to what the American community could do to help the police.  One suggestion is to build kiosks at strategic locations, manned by police.

The Santa Maria homes association has committed $2,200 dollars for both our attorney's bills and the building of a community substation at the intersection of the dirt road and the paved road.

The Los Barriles Security Panel is working very hard and spending a lot of time and their own money to help make this happen.  We appreciate the support you have all sent our way with emails.  Now...it is time to ask for monetary support as well as costs are mounting.  If we can get each of you to donate $50 or more it would be a great help.  

So....please make arrangements as soon as possible to pay our attorney directly, whether it be through Dennis or however you need to do it.  We appreciate your support to help us all keep our paradise crime free.

I am looking for a store that sells retractable screen doors - the kind that roll into a canister. I don't have enough clearance for a regular door to open. They sell them and Lowes in the states but I haven't been able to find a place that sells them down here.  Does anyone know of a store that carries them?  Thanks

I am replying to the person wanting to know about airport transportation

Without a dog, I always take the bus . Leaving Los Barriles ask the driver to drop you off at the airport turnoff. Walk drag luggage one mile and you are at the Ak Air terminal 3/4 mile to the other. If you are in a rush flag down one of the myriad taxis going by. When coming in I usually catch a ride with one of the car rental shuttle  50pesos is appreciated and gets me to a northbound Aguila stop. Never waited more than an hour and must be at the stop before 7pm. Cheers Scott

=========================

Hello all,

We feel that we are making a lot of progress regarding our security issues.  We have had several meetings with government officials, all of whom seem to really want to stop the burglaries.  The officials we have met with so far represent the Federales, State (Ministerial) and Local (Municipal) police.  We hope to meet with the Mayor (I believe she is referred to as the President) of La Paz County, which is the county that Los Barriles is in.  Hopefully, this will occur next week.

Our last meeting was with the official that is instrumental in determining if we can have more police officers assigned to Los Barriles.  He answers to the Mayor.  We hope to hear of more officers in our area soon, as this official indicated would be the case.

There have been arrests and some stolen property has been recovered.  We will keep you informed when we have further developments.  Our attorney has organized a call list for everyone, which is attached.  We will try to keep this list updated as officers come and go within a few months in some cases.  Print it out, read it and use it!

It is very difficult to answer individual emails from everyone...please be patient and we will try our best to keep you updated.

TO ALL YOU PEOPLE LOOKING TO GET SOUTH DAKOTA LICENSE PLATES FROM THE MAN IN THE GRINGO GAZETTE,  KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU ALSO NEED A SOUTH DAKOTA DRIVER'S LICENSE TO MATCH THOSE  PLATES.  THAT IS THE LAW HERE IN MEXICO AND THE U.S..

=========================

We would like to thank the person that put the information about Sebastien Aguirre at MG2 Tecnologia in the BPE. We called him last week about our Dish Network problems, and he came out that day and spent about 3 hours redoing all the wiring and fixed our problem, we now get all the stations we should and better reception. Sebastien, Patricia and Marco were professional and friendly. The technicians speak perfect English and we would highly recommend them. He can be contacted at info@mg2.com.mx
