East Cape Arts Association Abandons Art Center Project
LOS BARRILES, Mexico – October 19, 2011 – The East Cape Arts Association announced today that they are abandoning the Colina del Sol art center project. After careful consideration of the current global economic situation, the Association’s board of directors has determined that sufficient fund cannot be raised to move forward with the project.
The board would like to thank all those who contributed and worked on this project. Carlos Estrada from Colina del Sol deserves a special thanks for his willingness to donate the land for the art center and for his continued support.
Any monies raised for the art center project will be returned. All monies received by the Association in future will be used for the children’s art programs. For more information about the East Cape Art Association projects and how to help visit their website at: www.eastcapers.com

Yesterday I was reminded about a quick cure for Bee Stings. I opened the screen door and felt this excruciating pain at the tip of my index finger. I looked at my finger and there was a stinger stuck in it. I immediately searched the house for and old copper penny and applied a little moisture to it and pressed it on the wound. Within minutes the total pain was gone. New pennies I understand do not have copper in them so they don't work as well. So save those old pennies. They still have some use besides buying things. Jorge Loco
===========================================

I know most of you who donated to David Goodman this summer didn't know him. As I had written, I only met him a couple weeks before he died and that was because he had taken pictures of the Costa Brava fire. Linda Schwartz sent me his picture to share. Thank you Linda.

THUMBS UP - ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS
 
In response to the couple who had trouble getting their pet thru the airport. We had the same issue. We got our certificate at local vet, they gave us the 2 copies, not the original. Gal at airport was very insistent that we needed original. Finally she made up another document, and let us go thru. We were also asked about the quantity of dog food we had with us. After the security baggage check, there were two ladies who reviewed our certificate before letting us push the green button. Strange, as last time no one even glanced at our dog. Diane Wright
