BOAT OWNERS BEWARE!!
Last night at 4 AM, Aug. 1, banditos boarded two pangas at anchor about 500 yards north of Verdugo's trailer court. Fortunately, one boat was equipped with an alarm system that scared them away before any damage was done. Unfortunately, thievery is on a sharp rise in this area and we all should consider all deterrents available. For information regarding a good source of marine alarm systems feel free to contact Lance Emory at 624 100 0292 in Los Barriles.

As of Thursday afternoon, Armando has not had the surgery to correct fracture of right knee and leg. It has been postponed until Friday evening. He was rather heavily sedated when I spoke to him, but he said he was not in pain.
The ongoing saga of blood donations continues. There is a very persistent Off Road Racer in the US named Mike who is gallantly perusing the correct avenues of donating blood in the US and having it sent down to La Paz for Armando. He has been met by many obstacles and yet he refuses to throw in the towel. So far, he has found out that all blood donated in Mexico has to be tested for Malaria. The US does not have a Malaria problem so a test is not required. So, now he is seeking some Mexican medical authority to declare in writing that they will accept the US blood without testing it for Malaria and PRE-CLEAR it in customs. I think you can all see where this could end up, with the blood just sitting somewhere in obscurity, waiting, while it's viability slips away. But Mike is a persistent man, and I do not think he will give up. If the blood does not get here in time to be used for Armando, then it will at least credit his blood bank "account". So thank you, Mike and Tessa. This will be a valuable lesson that could save one of us in the future. When it gets figured out, I hope the information will be shared on the Pony. Maybe Char has some insight into this matter.
Now, I am sending out another request to the amazing East Cape community. Armando has a broken clavicle, arm and hand, and two broken legs. He will not be ambulatory for quite a while. And with a broken arm, crutches are out of the picture. He asked me today if I could bring him a wheelchair when I return next week to Los Barriles. Before I undertake that assignment, shopping around in Las Vegas in 110 degree heat, and dragging one down in my little car, I am asking if anyone in the community, please, could loan him one for 6-8 weeks. It would have to be adult size, and have foot/leg supports. Nothing fancy. Please ask around to your neighbors who may not read the BPE. Maybe one is sitting around in a bodega waiting for the user to return in the winter. If you have one available, please let me know as soon as possible.
     Again, I thank you all for your encouraging words and prayers to Armando and his family. He has received all the messages you have sent me and he and Paulie are overwhelmed by your show of support and kind words.

Desperately seeking shelter: Mama and 3 pups found along side the road near La Capilla need temporary housing. A walled or fenced terrace that will keep puppies in and coyotes out would be great. A loving home would be even better. If you can help please contact Pam 124-8083, info@amigosdeanimales.com
We also have three kittens that need foster care or permanent homes. With so many of our volunteers in the states, our foster homes are maxed. If you're here for the summer, please consider caring for an animal for a while.

The Asociacion de Artes would like to invite you, to the Cursos de Verano Exhibition on Saturday at the Concha, 6:00 p.m.. Cursos de Verano is a summer school program that Francis Olachea has organized for several years, and it is a three week course that teaches, sports, English, arts and crafts, cooking skills, dance, yoga, and more to the Primary School children. We have contributed to this program over the years with financial help as well as volunteers. We are very proud to announce that this year, we were able to provide Francie with volunteers, as well as the entire budget for this year's program. This also allowed all 100 children, to participate without having to pay the 100 peso fee per child, that was required in the past. We would also like to thank the Ruiz/VanWormer Famly for their donation of the group colored t shirts, which they generously provide each year. Also, a big shout out to the Gals at the East Cape Recycling, and some of our locals for the great donations of bottles and jars, for some of our craft projects. Come join us for some fun, and to show your support for the kids, volunteers, and to Francie for organizing this program. The Asociacion de Artes thanks our wonderful community here on the East Cape, for your donations and participation in our events, which helps fund these programs. See you there!
