This is a message from Ranger: I've been visiting my sister and brother-in-law, Sherry and Pete Kelly, for several weeks and have enjoyed meeting many of you around town and while playing drums and 'zydeco tie' at Roadrunner on Wednesdays. What you probably don't know is that I'm Executive Director of the World Sweeping Association, representing many of the contractors who clean streets and parking areas in cities and towns around the U.S. and the world. So, in that capacity I wanted to encourage everyone to turn out on Monday morning from 8 to 11 to help clean up Los Barriles.  My assistant, Regina, also joined me here this past week but had to leave today. So, to get a head start on things we picked up all the garbage from the mid-section of Buenos Aires Arroyo up to and including the waterfall area today before she left. It was fun and looks lots better going up and coming back. Please grab anything we missed next time you go up. Looking forward to helping on Monday; see you there!

Friday we devoted the day to an adventure in La Paz to register with Seguro Popular.   First step was Immigration where we presented our Passports along with our new Temporary Resident Cards and obtained our CURP numbers.  Next stop was the old hospital on Nicolas Bravo. We found the office on the second floor of the new wing.  Look for the door on the right.  We had a nice chat with the young gal under the window who spoke perfect English.  That office will determine an "economic means test"; how much you will be charged for the Seguro Popular medical insurance.  Their policies range from 3 months to years.  A wife may apply under the husbands name.  If you are indigent, its free but if you have "means", there will be a charge. You will be asked a variety of questions to make that determination including "do you have a refrigerator?"  At the Seguro Popular office, you will need copies of the CURP form, Passport, FM3 - we included copies of utility bills, etc.  I did not include any prices since they will vary depending on their assessment.

Note - If you are retired Military, remember your Tricare or Tricare for life will pay up to 80% for urgent care.  We have done just that.

Thanks to all who volunteered and worked tirelessly to make Bocce Ball 2013 such a success.        East Cape Guild members, their spouses and many friends all worked together to share the work involved to make this event happen.  Thanks to all 88 players and  attendees who contributed to make this a really fun afternoon. (total 140 +/-)   A big thanks to Dave and Cheryl Dondlinger who hosted the event and brought Bocce Ball back to its beginning on Looney Loop.  Well done everyone!  All profits from this event go the  East Cape Guild's scholarship fund, providing educational benefits to the students of the East Cape since 1998.  Carlene Lokey & Kay Barbour

                       
                               Congratulations!    2013 Bocce Ball Winners

THUMBS UP - ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS- This category must have name and/or email address.

a.  just to confirm - I went into Terminal 1 to double check and all USAirways flights are arriving/departing in Terminal 2 -  4/20/2013

b.  We recently had Edward (Ward) Barnes install a solar panel system at our home in Hermosa Vista.  The experience from proposal to completed project was nothing short of outstanding.  And our first CFE statement after installation took away any doubt that we had made the right decision to go solar and to “Go Barnes.”  The equipment showed up when Ward said it would, the duty estimate was accurate and there were no surprises in the final billing. He started and ended the project on time, and was always available to answer any question (and I had plenty!) and to reduce the technical verbiage to an understandable level. He worked on the project every day--a practice all too uncommon--and so was able to handle any obstacles that popped up.  I wouldn’t change a thing...and I haven’t always been able to say that about our Baja projects!   Ed   

c.    MOSQUITO DISCUSSION

       1)  Mosquito nets & products: As seen in the Gringo Gazette:    http://www.trampamosquito.com/productos.php  | Phone: (376) 76 55 973

          2) the post in BPE 1456 speaks to mosquito control/Dengue, offering instructions for creating a trap.The link below demonstrates a considerably more effective method

d.  Found out the not so fun way last night that if you ever get a bug that crawls into your ear, olive oil will kill it quickly. Googling while one is on you ear isn't an easy task :) local doctor says this is a common thing here FYI.

e.  Need some car parts picked up in La Paz or Cabo area..624-132-6893  if you could help me get these items!  tanyagosurf@yahoo.com

f.  Via the Ventana View:  In regards to the BofA card users:  Santander is a sister branch of BofA and there are no charges whatsoever at Santander's ATMs.  There is one across the street from Soriana.  It might be safer to use your card there.  And you can resolve any problems with your card at this branch as well. ~L
