DISCUSSIONS – ANSWERS – ANNOUNCEMENTS

a.  Via the Ventana View – El Triunfo:  https://www.theventanaview.com/la-ventana-stories/eiffel-chimney-mining-museum-el-triunfo/

b.  Infected Seco Palms:    I, too, had the scale on my palms.  I tried a lot….but what worked was to spray and wash by hand each frond with a solution of dish detergent in water.  Just enough detergent like you would use for washing dishes.  It’s a labor of love, and you may have to do it twice.  After the first time, wait a few days or a week and do it again.  After that, if you can find a good sprayer, you can just spray and not do the hand washing, unless you see a new outbreak.  A master organic gardener told me we have a “plague” in Baja ……so it may return.  But, at the first sight of it, just the spraying, without the hand labor, should be enough.

b.  https://baja.ca/

c.  I am building a new business/Youtube channel about health, provisionally titled, Healing for the Rest of Us. If you have a related business, or any other business that you’d like to discuss in a local mastermind group, please contact me.  These would be confidential meetings in private.  There could be some synergies.

Missing Person – Via the Ventana View

Last seen December 18, 2018 heading up the Sierra de la Laguna trailhead.
Max’s 1994 whit Ford van is parked at a near by ranch and was seen getting into a grey car with another couple. The only description we have of the couple is that the woman is thin and wearing red tennis shoes.

This text was copied from The Baja Western Onion:  Have You Seen Max Watson? (from the Baja Western Onion Facebook Group) This is Max Watson and his family has not seen or heard from him since Dec 18, when he texted that he was hiking to El Picacho on his own.
He drives this white Ford Econoline van, 1990s vintage with Oregon plates. If anyone has any information, please contact his stepmother Jacki Sterner at jacki.sterner@gmail.com or +1 503-539-9653.

DISCUSSIONS – ANSWERS – ANNOUNCEMENTS

a.  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. Luis was truly the heir apparent for this position, highly endorsed by his constituents from El Cardonal to San Bartolo and especially by his predecessor, Delegada Francie Olachea. He comes with great previous experience, having served twice as the ‘Sub Delegado’ of his home community of El Cardonal. 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!

DISCUSSIONS – ANSWERS – ANNOUNCEMENTS

a.  Unknown sources have piled high their boxes into the Recycling Storage & Transfer space behind the DIF building and to the south of Tio Pablo’s. This is a Storage & Transfer Space only and not meant for recycling. If you have used this space for your boxes, please refrain from doing so. If you know who may be adding their boxes, please advise them also to stop. If you should know who may be doing so, we would appreciate an email to Recycling Comadres, lynn.holly.theresa@gmail.com. Working forward with purpose so we can all imagine a green earth. The team at East Cape Recycling & Environmental Education

b.  A big thank you for an incredible job done well goes to our newly retired Mayor Francie Olachea. Francie worked tirelessly, passionately and with great heart for Los Barriles while she served our community over the past three years. She passed the torch at the end of November but not before setting a high bar and new standard for future mayors to follow. She cared for kids, worked with the schools, made sure the summer program was funded. She advocated for old folks and for those in need and all the while balancing the demands of a staff of 25 and a big jurisdiction that stretches from north of El Cardonal to the south mountain pueblos of El Coro and Corral Falso up past the basurera and to San Bartolo as well. She wore out tires on her personal vehicles constantly driving to La Paz to make sure the jewel of Los Barriles and her extended communities were getting the attention and allocations they deserved. It’s from the heart that Francie served and we’re so much the better for it. She’s due our thanks and recognition and also now, a nice rest. East Cape Recycling & Environmental Education would especially like to say thanks for being such a great partner and making us proud to have worked together.  Theresa

DISCUSSIONS – ANSWERS – ANNOUNCEMENTS

a.  Watch out !  17 years of driving the Baja up and down many times each year and we have never had a problem until last week.  Pulling an open box trailer & heading south we stopped at the military inspection point a few miles north of San Ignacio around 7 pm.  We were asked to exit the SUV and were immediately separated with one of us on each side of the vehicle being questioned by an officer, showing our drivers license, never asking for our passports but were asked an unusual amount of nonsense details over and above the norm. Meanwhile 3 other military personnel were going through everything in the vehicle. They never removed a suitcase or box instead opening everything inside a very heavily packed vehicle (with lightly tinted windows). When it seemed like the officers questioning us could not think of any other questions, one of the 3 inspecting personnel would get something, a prescription out of our shave kits, aspirin, Benadryl even lightbulbs we had brought down and step way back from the vehicle, call us over with our back to the car an ask the most unimportant details or questions about the item. The practice was repeated multiple times by each of the three and as soon as one of us were not busy, one of them would instantly call us over to explain details about another item. This went on for 10 min with each person going through the car having some item and calling us away from the car to discuss it. Never once did they look in the trailer, nor did we see them look in the console or glove compartment. When we finally left my friend checked the small zippered binder that he had his cash, paperwork and passport in, glanced in and saw his US dollars as well as his pesos so he thought all was good. Later that night when we stopped at the motel, he discovered a large amount of money missing ($2,000 USD!) from his binder. We then started going through each suitcase, box and bag only to discover many items of value were missing.  Yes, we should have pulled the cash out with us to begin with. Up to this point we had not even been asked to exit the vehicle at any of the stops.  You can’t remove everything of value and keeping us both distracted and away from the vehicle we should have known something was not right.  Beware drivers!!  This was a blatant, sophisticated and choreographed robbery from five men two whom were officers with loaded assault rifles.  Wow!

(2) note by the same author as above:  I just had friends stop yesterday afternoon at the same checkpoint and she said she told them she could not exit the vehicle due to a leg/hip injury. The gave her some  @?!@  about it but she ended up staying in the car while her husband was questioned at the rear of the vehicle.   It’s just sad and I have always seen the marines as above this type stuff. I should have stayed on my toes and not dropped my guard. Won’t happen again.

(3) Sent to me today by a traveler.  It is a photo but I could not copy to the BPE so here is typed copy.  Also, this is what I referred to in yesterday’s BPE but I omitted the above article!

Dear Traveler, Do you think you received the right attention? If you notice or was object of a dishonest misonduct report immediately to the commander in chief of this military point. Call to 615-157-0610 and 615-157-1001 or report to: 40zm@mail.sedena.gob.mx.  Have a good trip

(4)  Unbeknownst to most travelers in Baja, you have the legal right to tell the soldiers at every stop that only one person at a time (una persona a la vez por favor) may search your car. I lock all doors, and open them one at a time and watch closely. I’ve been doing this for years, they always respect my request.

b.  Do Not Use Your Remote Control Door Lock In Parking Lots We shopped at Costco last Thursday and parked in the handicapped parking. A man was on his cellphone on the sidewalk in front of the truck and we locked the truck with the remote. We returned to find the truck locked but two items were missing. We are sure he was using a code reading app on his phone, unlocked the doors, took what he wanted and relocked the doors. He was smart, he didn’t take my ipad and we did not realize the theft until we unloaded the truck here in LB All parking lots are vulnerable and this type of theft is going to explode because it is so easy. Be careful.

c.  Via FaceBook from the Delegation of Los Barriles:  Attentive aviso:  La Municipal delegation, will remain open on Monday 24 with schedule from 8:00 am-12:00 pm, Tuesday 25 closed, resuming work on Wednesday 26 with normal schedule, for your attention, Thank you, happy holidays.

d.  Banking tip from a former banker.  When dealing with a cash deposit, count the money out on the counter in front of the teller and the camera before pushing it through the window.  Make $100 piles, if it is a large deposit.  Everyone sees.  No Tom Foolery.

Since this happened I have heard about several other cars that had things taken out of them during recent nights.  doreen.bryant@gmail.com

c.  Yesterday we went to pay our fido at Banorte bank behind La Comer in San Jose, I had the correct amount of $464.00 dollars. I gave the money to the teller and the money disappeared behind the desk, one minute later he shows me the 4 dollars and gives me back $404.00 telling me that $60 dollars are missing. So I paid $60 more. I asked for the supervisor, therefore together with the Teller they counted the money at his station with the machine. Then they tell us that everything is correct. Of course everything was correct because the original $60 dollars were in the teller’s pocket to buy a Christmas present. I do not believe I’m the only one who was robbed by this guy, Let me know.

DISCUSSIONS – ANSWERS – ANNOUNCEMENTS

a.  The Amazon Echo series of devices has a very useful skill that many have overlooked.  Yes, they do work down here!  When we leave for the evening or a day trip, we tell the Echo (aka Alexa) “Away Mode”.  The Echo will begin to play random voices in conversion that often have music or TV playing in the background.  It really sounds as if someone is in the house.  Okay, I’m a Geek and have no real life, I often find those conversations somewhat interesting.  In addition, I use Nest Cams that send an alert to my phone along with a photo if someone enters my area.  When I’m gone for longer periods, I set the Cams to record to the “Cloud” so that I can review footage from anywhere I may be.  Wyze Cams are much cheaper and record to an internal SD card that can be reviewed or played for the police. The Wyze Pan Cam (scans and moves to track images) is under $40, a 32 Gig micro SD card is under $10.  Here is a clip of how well our Wyze Cam works: https://youtu.be/Apr5BWfjl8Q     thecomputerguy@usa.com

b.  BREAKINS….MORE INFO:

(2)   (Sat 12/15) shortly after 1 pm a young clean cut looking Mexican man came to our house looking for work (clean our yard)  However He walked past our door heading toward the back yard but looked in the kitchen window & saw Pete where he was sitting at our desk.  He turned around and I met him at the door where he asked for work.  After he left Pete read the notice about the guy in Buenos Aires earlier.  He was dressed in black pants that sound like the ones described, and a grey shirt.  He did have a black backpack. I told him that we had a yard man.   He quickly left and went on his way.  Just information.

(I’m wondering if we’ve scared this guy/guys away?  Anyone with more info, please send to the BPE)
