(Sorry,  I had problems getting this issue out but lets hope people show up in the morning, Cheryl)    
On behalf of the faculty, administration and parent body of Cycete, Santiago, (our high school) we are asking the East Cape Community for contributions( see below) towards the construction of “THE STAGE” for graduation ceremonies (July 2nd will be the first), theatrical and musical productions,  student assemblies, and outside speaker presentations.   Each student has contributed 1 cement block or 10 pesos towards the student body contribution. This request fell into my lap today while at Cycete, Santiago, with my son, a junior (class of 2012) after conversing with Professora Raquel( English teacher), one of the spear headers, (or because she speaks English and so do I)!!!!!  
With most of the North American community north for summer, and the lateness of this announcement, whoever is able and willing, we would love donations of pesos, dollars,  and cement, will be greatly appreciated.

THE TW0 WAYS TO DONATE!
       1. Road Runner Cafe Saturday June 25th.  Cheryl (BPE)has offered to join us Saturday morning, June 25th, along with Professora Raquel, my son Franck and other students and me, (BetsyinBaja), to meet, greet, and accept donations at the Roadrunner Cafe, from  8:30 to 11:30.  We will have a model concept of the “Cycete Stage” to view for anyone interested in seeing a visual, construction in progress as I write.  
       2.  Stop by Armando Molina’s or Tony Tamayo’s hardware stores, purchase a bag or bags of cement in the name of Cycete, Santiago,  The bags will be held for the school to pickup.  

Donations for example 1 bag of cement is $125 - $145 pesos per bag.

     Presently Cycete, Santiago has projected “The Stage” in 3 phases due to funding.  We will keep you informed of the progress as our goals are reached.
     Being a MOM and living in the East Cape Community full time for 5+ years with a son who entered local Mexican school in Los Barriles, grade 7, and will graduate a year from now, I am reminded with events like this, that we are in Mexico, life is different here, expectations, planning, procedures,  “manana”  is not as most of us know.  It is the way here, families, kids, students, church, life etc. adjectives of life... happy, stressless, proud, confident.  We, North Americans, have chosen the East Cape Community to become our home for a reason, and love it.  Mine was to offer my son the opportunity to see the world in other eyes( his own), we are living this view NOW!
Thanks to All of YOU who consider making a small (or big) contribution to “THE STAGE” at Cycete, Santiago.  Betsy Rudigoz   betsyinbaja@gmail.com
==========================================

     I want to let everyone know about the dangers of a plant that is common in many yards...based on my first hand experience. Pencil Euphorbia, (Euphorbia tirucallii), known locally as Dados de Ninos, is highly toxic.
     E. tirucallii - the well known Pencil Euphorbia - A most dangerous Euphorbia and one of the most readily available plants, even in supermarkets. Latex from this plant has been the cause of death, blindness and severe illness. The latex produces excruciating pain and severe inflammation if it gets into a cut on the skin or on to the eyeball. It produces a more intense irritation of the eyeball than of the skin which may result in ulcerations on the eyeball.
     I gingerly handled this plant, never even touching the sap (latex), and later touched my face and rubbed my eye. Even with the limited contact with the plant, I had a terrible reaction. The burning in my eye was so excruciating I thought I might lose my eyesight. My husband rushed me to the Amerimed Clinic in Los Barriles where they flushed my eye until they could identify the plant. With the help of Lynn Mirassou and Betsy O'Leary enough information was gathered so that Dr Rendon could contact an ophthalmologist in La Paz for the appropriate treatment. I am very grateful for this team effort. Thankfully the treatment was successful and I am recovering.
     I had no idea that this plant is so toxic. If you have this plant in your garden, please handle it carefully, avoid the milky sap, wash your hands after contact, and make certain that children do not touch it. Many people place this plant in front of their home on the street. Now I know why the cows won't eat it.

ANTS!!!

a.   I have had great success using Gene Grillo who sprays with an organic non-toxic spray. He sprayed all around my house in April and I have not had any ants in the house since then, including those fast runners. The cost of my job was $60. He also has an organic termite spray that has a life of 10-40 years depending on conditions. gcgrillo@gmail.com 624-121-6804 Holly Burgin   burgin.holly@gmail.com

b.  I heard you can mix Karo syrup with boric acid, put it into bottle caps on the counter.  Also, sprinkle cinnamon. Cheryl

c.  To get rid of those teeny ants I use baby powder and push it in edges of the floor or counter and it works great.   Chili powder can work too but it can also stain.   Sharon
