c.  Safety on the East Cape:  Response #1:  Do you think a meeting of concerned citizens with new Mayor might help. I for one am concerned for break ins etc as we are gone for 6 months at a time. We will not return until April. We always got the same story in the past that the police have no money for gas etc etc but not even responding to a complaint is bad. Just a thought.
(#2)  Police checkpoint was set up in Buenos Aires arroyo tonite (Friday). Gentleman in front of me on a side by side was asked to wear his seat belt.  Another behind me on a quad was asked to wear a helmet.  Appears to be an emphasis on vehicle safety.  Police were very polite.

DISCUSSIONS – ANSWERS – ANNOUNCEMENTS

a.  Courtesy the Ventana View – Our neighbors to the north:   Last year on the road in La Paz between Sorianas and the auto wrecker many gringos were pulled over by a guy on a powerful green sport bike impersonating a police officer. He is back but the bike is a darker color. I was pulled over last Saturday 1 block east of Sorianas on Colosio. He said I went thru a flashing yellow light and asked for my drivers license and said I would have to pay a 2000 peso fine at the police station on Monday. I offered 500 but he would only accept 1000 pesos as my drivers license had expired. It was a mistake to pay him. He wore a dark blue jumpsuit, helmet and mask over his nose and mouth which made him impossible to identify. Nowhere on his bike or uniform was the word police. The lawyer who helped me yesterday to get a Mexican drivers license told me to remember 2 things. Never give a policeman money and never give him your drivers license. Carry a clear photocopy of both sides of your license and give that to him. Beware of this guy. Anyone else who got stopped can send me an email to jrosene@shaw.ca and I will add up the number of other victims.

b.  I was asked if we had an emergency (911) number to call the local police here on the East Cape.  The incident was someone, probably  high on drugs or drunk,  but nevertheless, middle of the night yelling outside  this person’s house..  Frightening to say the least.

c.  Baja’s January Morning Skies will be moonless through Saturday, Jan.19, from 5:15 to 5:45am, and provide the year’s best chance to see the smallest constellation (Southern Cross), nearest star system, largest globular cluster, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th brightest stars, and a near conjunction of Venus and Jupiter. Sunday, January 13, will also have the latest sunrise of the year at 7:05am. Read more here.

d.  Making way for new stock. Baja Beach Boutique is offering 20% discount storewide and up to 50% discount on select items this Saturday 12th January.Find us in Plaza del Pueblo, opposite the barrels at the entrance to town. 10am – 3pm. bajabeachboutique@gmail.com

e.  Many people ask us how to test their Internet Speeds. We recommend “Ookla” based sites as they use reliable speedtest servers here in Mexico resulting in more accurate results. Check out ours at: http://toronet.mx/speedtest/

f.  I’ve had several emails about security on the East Cape.  I am willing to open up discussions regarding police assistance in time of an emergency, numbers to call, how to start up neighborhood watches, etc. Chime in with info & suggestions. 

QUESTIONS

a.  I was stopped by what looked like a cop while riding my quad in town.  In Spanish he told me I must wear a helmet.  I’ve lived here 20 years and this is new to me.  Anyone else?  (answer to the BPE is OK)

b.  Wanted:   5th wheel capable Truck and driver to move 35′ RV 14 miles.  Las Barracas north to La Ribera.   bajawill@gmail.com

b.  We’re fortunate that his passion runs deep for our East Cape communities as new Mayor Luis Lucero took the helm in Los Barriles at the end of November.

He comes with great previous experience, having served twice as the ‘Sub Delegado’ of his home community on the north end of the jurisdiction. He loves the environment, the beaches, the mountains, the desert and the people that populate them. He will be at Recycling’s first Movie Night on January 10 to meet his English-speaking community and share a bit about his initiatives. Also, Wednesday afternoons from noon on he is available at the Delegation building to meet with anyone who would like to see him. His number is 612-15-91878, he’s on WhatsApp or you can make an appointment with his assistant at the Delegation building. Welcome Delegado Luis!

EVENTS

a.  From Delegacion de Los Barriles, re:  Los Barriles 300 race, date change.
Because the hotel occupancy of the barrels and buenavista is “Topada” for another event not related to the start of the championship desert series 2019 Championship, it has been determined to change the date of the competition for the weekend of 9 And February 10, delaying a week the start of the serial with the already traditional race “The Barrels East Cape 300”.
Probaja has always wanted the logistics of runners and equipment to be the most appropriate, and in front of the fact of hotel demand for the end originally planned (2 AND 3 February) this would have complicated a lot, it’s by This, thinking of the teams themselves and their logistics, that we are taking this decision.
Waiting for your understanding, we reiterate the date of the award 2018 for Friday, February 1, at 6:00 pm in the casino bellavista, of La Paz, date that will be perfect for Saturday 2 February the teams take the tour of the first competition of the serial 2019.  Help us share this information, please

DISCUSSIONS – ANSWERS – ANNOUNCEMENTS

a.  Home Security: (1)  Add the Amazon Alexa/Echo products to your security options.  When I leave the house I say: “Alexa, Away Mode”.  The Alexa begins to play a random voice track that simulates people talking with a TV playing in the background.  The Echo Show has the ability to display Wyze Cams and Nest Cams on the screen.  Remember, internet bandwidth can be a limiting factor on live streaming displays.  thecomputerguy@usa.com

(2)  With the increased number of robberies, it’s time to think security cameras. I use a variety and the cheapest with a high degree of reliability are the Wyze Cams with internal recording on a micro SD card. They are not waterproof but can be placed inside the house, in a water free area (under eaves, etc) or even front windows. Mine are programmed to record on motion which makes it easier to locate recorded issues. The SD card can be inserted into a computer for easier reading. The Wyze Cam Pan will actually track motion through 350 degrees. If you have a strong internet, the cameras can provide alert notifications and remote camera access. I use the Wyze Cam Pan from Amazon for $38 and the 64 GB sd card for $12. Wyze Cams can be programmed for shared access.  thecomputerguy@usa.com

b.  FOUND- a set of keys (7-10) while walking in the Buenos Aires Arroyo yesterday. Contact Evelyn at La Playa restaurant to identify and recover.

DISCUSSIONS – ANSWERS – ANNOUNCEMENTS

a.  Yet another robbery on New Year’s Eve, home near the cemetery, between 6 and 9 PM. They went through all the rooms-took a little money, a charger cord, jewelry box and every key they could find. They tried to get into our Subaru, but with the wrong key and only got it stuck in the door. Because they couldn’t get the car, they left behind the good stuff—TV etc. My advice: Find a truly secure place to hid all of your keys. They pilfered through old purses, hanging baskets, drawers, baskets and even eyeglass cases.

b.  My casa was broken into on New Years Day in Los Barriles- Palo Blanco neighborhood. They ransacked my kitchen, garage, guest casita and laundry room, cut through the metal doors to get in. All my tools, paddle boards and my truck ( 1995 Dodge Ram 2500 blue ) was stolen. They left a mess. Police were notified. Please keep an eye out for my truck!  Any information or encouragement appreciated. Very sad about this.  4thbouvier@gmail.com

DISCUSSIONS – ANSWERS – ANNOUNCEMENTS

a.  Bandidos in La Ribera.  We had visitors about 5 am this morning.  A tall kid walked in and walked around the porch, and knocked on the door.  Was there about 5-10 minutes, then took a portable plastic table, a package of ant powder, walked out and grabbed an empty flower pot on the way out.  Security lites didn’t seem to bother him.  I thought a drunk going home from a party.  Wrong.  They came back, three of them, and stole my motion detectors.  I called the cops while they were here, but they no-showed.  I expect they’ll be back. (99)
