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

Did you read the article in the new/current issue of East Capers on page 30? Dr. Sergio Rendon wrote it and it is very informative...all about diabetes, the causes and process....the very last thing he says is: MOVE YOUR BODY....did you know that MOVEMENT is a biological imperative? much like drinking enough water and eating nutritious food....here in Los Barriles we have many wonderful exercise teachers who offer a variety of classes...check out Kelly’s and Brigitte’s classes at the Palapa near the elementary school...or the array of fun and healthy classes at the Yoga and Pilates Studio near the highway... for more info; jackie1@gorge.net
====================================================

Want your children or grandchildren to remember their Baja vacation in Los Barriles? Have them participate in Baja Marionettes puppeteer workshops for all ages.

Contact Kay/Director at bajamarionettes@yahoo.com  or call US phone: 541-234-4426 or MX phone:         624-142-8158. We come to you from a traveling stage. Thank you for your consideration. Kay

Via the VentanaView - our neighbors to the north

Slugs can kill your dog.
     Our golden retriever almost died. After the storms last week slugs were all over the beach. After our walk it took about an hour and the dog started getting paralyses in his legs. Luckily we noticed and we took the dog straight to Dr. Thomas Revolution 1910. In La Paz 612-117-6118 who kept him over night with an IV. We also used omega fish oil 3-6-9 and acupressure to help.
     The dog could not walk for several days and still is moving slow, but much better. So please don't let your dog near them. And if you see slugs on the beach please bury them for the dogs. Careful don't touch them. That would be AWESOME! Thank you. Trigg & Vicki
=========================================

FISHING REPORTS - Local's fishing reports do NOT need to be signed.  Just tell the TRUTH!

Example #1:  30 miles  north caught 2-40lb dorado and one 5' wahoo. 
Example #2:  Charter boat  went south.  Skunked but saw 2 huge pods of dolphins & one whale.


QUESTIONS

a.  Have a problem with my Suzuki ATV starting. Sounds like it is in the starter or celluloid. Need someone to do repair. Last time used a great shop in La Paz but cannot remember the name or location. Is there someone local or does anyone know the shop in La Paz. He also sold ATV's but not Suzuki I think. Contact frpeter@verizon.net

b.  Hi.....I have noticed several times while walking the last 4 days on the beach a Seagull with a badly injured wing...I didnt want to frighten it, so didnt approach it, but it cant fly...it is still lively ( and alive! to my amazement ) Do any of you folks know of someone in the area or a vet, who might be interested in helping this bird heal...it is staying pretty much on the beach in front of Los Palmas Hotel Cortez...Please let me know if you can help....Kaaren Soby ( in Richards former place, now Casa Hyldava)   Kaaren  flowerpaintersoby@hotmail.com   phone # is:624 141 1317
