Thanks for the heads up on the federal police giving tickets on the
outer belt down in San Jose. I made sure to drive 90 km/h while
driving on it yesterday and passed multiple police cars with radar
guns. Lynn

Rotary Diabetes Screening: Diabetes is the Number One killer in
Mexico! This year, our local Rotary club has elected to address this
problem by providing education and screening of members of our
community. Our Rotary club is fortunate to have as one of our
members, Rotarian Char Wenger to chair this Rotary project. Rotary
will be conducting a diabetes screening after the parade on November
20th at the elementary school. We will be handing out educational
material to those in our community. Many thanks to Char and
co-chairman, Barbara Fowler for their work on this important
project.

RE: Police Activity on The East Cape
The Federal Police are checking US and Mexican vehicles for proper
registration and actively looking for stolen US vehicles. The
Federal Police DO have very sophisticated computer links that allow
them to investigate serial numbers and the vehicle history right on
the spot. Many of the federal patrol cars now have radar. Radar nets
are frequently seen on the La Paz-Todos Santos highway, the Cabo-San
Jose corridor highway and the airport toll road.
Make sure you have your current registration, tags, passport and
valid US driver's license with you when you drive on the federal
highways. If you have US plates you may not lend your vehicle to a
Mexican friend unless they have a valid US driver's license, if they
do not and they are stopped the vehicle will be confiscated.
The Federal Police are very well trained, professional and
respectful, but they are also firm and know what they are doing. If
you treat them with respect you should have no problem. - Artosan

Re: the comment on Federale Police giving tickets on the toll road
between San Jose and the airport. The same thing happened to a
friend late to pick up an arrival. He was told 10km over and due to
being late paid the "reduced" fine. It's a sad state when the
Federals start doing this, I've always told visitors "they are
professionals and don't stoop to such actions." Guess that's not the
case. Spread the word this is not an isolated case. - Gus,
grasslandcattleco@gmail.com , Todos Santos
-----------------------------
Adding to the article last week on the Federal Police, I've been
stopped twice and threatened to pay fines for driving my personal
car with US plates while possessing a Mexican drivers license.
I went to their office on the highway a mile from the airport and
spoke about this matter to the commandante. He said as long as
the license was current and the same name was on the current
registration, it was legal and no infraction should be enforced.
Unfortunately, the officers at the airport are not honoring this law
and merely going for the bribe. If you are going to the airport,
take your passport, since this seems to quell their desire to demand
your money. I think there is a certain element in the force,
who are bent on intimidating foreigners in order to fill their
pockets with extra spending money since many other incidents are
being reported...cover your bases and only drive cars with your name
on the registration and drivers license. With all the problems we
are having with tourism, its a shame they still continue to harrass
visiters and some locals in order to line their bolsas.. information
is power and we need to know our rights. - Chris,

down a roll of sponge strips. Unpacked from the shipping box these

they could be stuffed into the corner of your suitcase or even

The whole body is represented in the feet. The feet represent the
water energy, which goes
deep and seeks out the foundation of things. The feet are the most
negative pole of the entire
body and because of this fact many negative energy blocks are found
in the feet. The pain
and discomfort in this area could be manifesting or warning of
chronic health conditions.
Sensitivity and pain on the feet are reflections of congestion in
corresponding areas of
the body. By stimulating and reflexing certain points on your feet,
the body can be restored to its
natural healthy state.
Now taking appointments starting December 16, 2009.
