A.L.M.A. would like to thank all of the community volunteers, both Mexican and extranjeros, who made the first Ministry of Health, DIF and A.L.M.A. spay and neuter clinic here in Los Barriles a great success. As we say in Spanish: "Juntos hacemos la differencia - Together we make a difference!"
====================================

     The Rotary Club Los Barriles Cabo Este has just completed the first stage of our Diabetes screening program. During the City Celebration this last month our Rotary Club focused our efforts on helping identify, educate and treat local residents with their issues related to Diabetes. Our local Rotary club has received an international grant of $30k with help from four US Rotary clubs and Rotary International.
     With Diabetes as one of the major health issues in Mexico we felt it appropriate to focus our attentions on prevention and education. During the City Celebration we set up at the Concha a screening booth where we performed glucose screening, blood pressure checks and educational material disbursement. During the event we screened over 110 people including the Mayor and Police department.
     The results of the days efforts were, of the 110 people screened 41% of them had elevated levels of glucose in their system and 33% had high blood pressure. We are continuing to work with those identified on education and treatment.
     Our next public screening will be in April, but is you know of anybody that should be screened now have them proceed to the Amerimed Clinic and ask for the free screening. We hope to impact not only people that currently have Diabetes but through education and dietary changes our goal is to have a long term impact on reducing this disease. If you would like to know more about our local Rotary Club, our projects or how you can become involved, visit our website or just ask a Rotarian.

Four person teams will compete on the beach at the Lord of the Winds. Whether your are an experienced Booce Ball tosser or just somebody that wants to have a good time join us for this event. If you have a team then sign up as one or if you want to be assigned to a team that is great also. The cost of the Tournament is just $10 including pancake breakfast and awards.

THUMBS UP - ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS

a.  TREE SPRAYING

  (1)  The spraying that was conducted in Los Barriles last week was targeting the whole community and was free. In my neighborhood the foreman asked me to point out any other trees which may be in my neighbors' yards. These trees were also sprayed. The insect HLB (huanglongbing) attacks only citrus trees and has been found in San Jose. The State Department for the Health of Vegetation has completed their canvas of this area I believe. But you are asked to report any suspicious infestation on your citrus to them at 613-13-22651

  (2)  Our citrus trees were sprayed last week and now I see lots of green leaves on the ground!  Is anyone else having this problem?  Cheryl  bajaduck@bajaduck.com

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today's bird is the Gray Thrasher. This bird is endemic (only found in) Baja, Mexico. He is in the family called Minidae, which includes the Northern Mockingbird. This family is noted for their loud and varied songs and mimicry (hence the family name). In our area this bird is the only bird that has a long decurved bill and spotted breast. He is a slender bird, about 10 inches long (robin sized) with short rounded wings. Sexes are alike and ages differ slightly. The bright yellow eyes separate him from other Mimidaes. He spends much of his time on the ground, digging with his very long bill for insects, grubs and seeds. The spots on his breast are unusual in that they are trianglar shaped. Although usually silent and sulky, he often perchs high to sing. The nest is a bulky cup of twigs at low to mid-levels. Eggs are laid in spring or summer, 2 to 4, bluish-white to greenish blue, mottled with brown. He is quite common and seen often.....John Spencer, La Ribera
