Thank you to Baja Shakespeare for giving the East Cape Guild the opportunity to hold a 50/50 raffle.  Thanks to all those in the audience who bought tickets and a great big thanks to the winner, Dick Rudolph from Todos Santos, who donated his winnings back to the Guild.  This is one of the fundraisers that will help the Guild to award scholarships to local high school kids who work hard and get very good grades.  This enables these students to stay in high school even if their parents cannot afford the tuition and transportation.  Thanks to this wonderful, supportive community!!
=====================================

I just got word from Maggy that her fish market behind Faylas has opened again.  Maggy says that she has fresh fish, shrimp, and scallops.  If it is anything like it has been in the past, she will have good quality seafood at reasonable prices.  Turn between Faylas grocery store and Freddies tire shop and go straight up the hill about 2 blocks.  You will see her shop on the right near the top of the hill.

As previously reported there have been fatalities in dogs this season in the El Sargento / La Ventana area. It was suspected that the dogs had ingested a poisonous substance. Based on  presenting signs and the progression of those signs a substance called tetrodotoxin which is commonly found in puffer fish was suggested. The problem was that no one had seen their dog chewing on a puffer fish. A new event has now occurred in the last 48 hours which seems to elucidate the problem more clearly. A group of 6 young dogs were taken to the beach around 7:00 AM. The person that was with them observed them chewing on dead sea slugs that had washed up on the beach recently following several days of high wind and waves.  The slugs were taken away from the dogs, their mouths rinsed with sea water and all the dogs were removed from the beach. Approximately 3 hours later all the dogs but one were showing signs of toxicity(salivation, vomiting, diarrhea, intense abdominal pain). All the dogs were taken to a veterinarian in La Paz. At this time 4 of the dogs have died, one is still being treated and one showed only very mild signs and is doing well.
An internet search reveals that sea slugs can sometimes have very high levels of tetrodotoxin in their skin (the same toxin is present in puffer fish and a number of other marine animals) and there are known cases of fatality in dogs from sea slug exposure in other parts of the world.
The toxin is very potent that even small amounts can be fatal. Dogs should not be allowed to chew on any marine animals on the beach.

Exvotes(Retablos)and other Paintings
by
SEDDON WYLDE
I will be showing my new Exvoto Paintings at the Arts Festival
in Los Barriles on April 3rd.
This Mexican Folk Art is a tradition of giving thanks to
someone (usually a Saint) for a miracle (milagro).
My theme this year is animals! For example, the Rooster tells
the hen they must give thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe for the
miracle that the farmer is a vegetarian. This painting is sold but come see
what the cow, the dove, the whale and the goat have to be thankful for!
I will also be showing my small watercolours and some paintings by Jeff Heintzman.
