Los Barriles Dog Show Report
Thank you to everyone who came to support the first Los Barriles Dog Show. We were so happy to see so many of you enjoying the amazing antics, skills and talents of our lovely Baja doggies. This was the for whole community, and we’re delighted that our dogs can bring together and unite us in laughter and enjoyment. We would like to thank the Delegado Ramiro Hirales Silva for opening the show, Matilde from the Directora de Cultura Municipal La Paz, The Schutzhund Association from La Paz, the Van Wormer family for trusting us to hold the show on their beautiful lawn, and our many sponsors who were slightly confused at the start as to what this was going to look like! http://www.bajakennelclub.com/sponsors/  A big THANK YOU to all the volunteers, and particularly Tracey from The Barkery for her agility training and on-going patience, and of course we have to mention our great double act Theresa and Duke for their up-beat, humorous and often bi-lingual commentary.

1. Dogs on the day – we have over 135 dogs register for the show which we think is amazing! There were also ‘spectator dogs’ but we’re not sure about this number. We estimate that there were around 500 spectators throughout the day.

2. Photos – you can see lots and lots of photos at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Baja-Kennel-Club/712151628838490  or for the professional photos, go to Lori Makabe’s site at http://1609218630.pictology.com/.  (Click on Los Barriles Dog Show 2015. Then put in password show15. Then click on ‘view all images’). These high quality photos are simply stunning, and Lori will be making a donation to the dog show for any that you buy.

3. T-shirts – you can still buy the eye-catching designer t-shirts that were specially designed for us. All you need to do is email kjrjones2007@hotmail.com  with your size. They are $200.00 pesos.

4. Lost items – we found a blue chair back and a pair of glasses. Email me if you think they are yours. emma@bajakennelclub.com

5. Certificates – if you didn’t collect your certificate, then please let me know and we will try to arrange to get one to you.

6. Volunteers’ Thank You – we will be having a volunteers’ thank you drinks at Lazy Daze on Thursday, and a mini presentation to give the proceeds of the show to the neutering and spaying groups.

7. Monies raised - The condition of the donation is that there are two additional spaying and neutering clinics this calendar year in Los Barriles. Any left-over monies will go towards additional clinics and emergency neutering and spaying events.

Hopefully we will see you all next year – so everyone get training and practicing now!

Baja Night Sky #77 -- March 19, 2015: 1) Venus, with Mars hiding a fist below, is the bright evening "star." Jupiter is high in the east. NASA just announced that Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, likely has more water than Earth's oceans. You can spot 4 of the 63 moons using binoculars. Also in the east, Leo the Lion is chasing the hunter Orion westward. In a couple of months you can tell Orion goodbye as Leo & its bright star Regulus dominate the spring sky. To find Leo, look for the backward question mark forming the lion's mane. New moon and the first day of Spring arrive tomorrow, Friday, March 20. Take note of where the sun rises/sets on Friday for a good approximation of true east/west.
2) For reasons not completely understood, there are more fireballs, super bright meteors flashing across the sky, around the Spring Equinox than the rest of the year. So with weather warming up and clearer skies, now is a great time to find a dark sky location nearby, invite some friends over, and enjoy the evening watching the Baja Night Sky.
3) Thank you, Rodrigo and crew from Rancho Sotol, and the guests who attended a Baja-Night-Sky stargazing party at the Rancho's enchantingly beautiful dark-sky location high above El Sargento. Weather was perfect for a tour of the night sky and its many Greek & Native American legends, spotting faint Messier objects with binoculars, and recounting the great supernova of 1054, recorded in petroglyphs by Baja Indians. Contact info@ranchosotol.com  if you are interested in another stargazing night, or have ideas for a new event at the Rancho. Also visit www.ranchosotol.com  for an online tour.
4) After the dark-sky event, several long-time residents commented that the drive back into light-polluted El Sargento and La Ventana was a shocker. They had forgotten the great dark skies we used to have. Bringing them back will be difficult, but they would attract people who enjoy visiting Dark-Sky locations. Click on the links below for resources about the impact of light pollution, and how to retro-fit or make first-time installations of dark-sky light fixtures that will enhance the ambiance and value of both residential and commercial property. http://www.darksky.org/assets/documents/idabrochure.pdf
