DISCUSSIONS – ANSWERS – ANNOUNCEMENTS
a. The first 500 pictures taken of the entertainment at Festival de Artes are now available at www.eastcapearts.com You can find the photo gallery on the home page and the Festival de Artes page. More photos and video to come!
b. The auction for New Creations Orphanage has come and gone but the feel good memories will last a long time. My heart is full with immense gratitude for all of those who offered items and services, for the volunteers who gave their all, for LaPlaya who gave their all, for the Lack Family who gave their all and of course for the 200+ who attended, and supported the event. It was a huge success. Final numbers still to be determined, as some winners are still expected to claim their treasures, so if this is you, pls come to the Wine Shop – Wed-Sun 12-6 PM. Will post final numbers raised asap. Approx.$10k USD. Thank you, gracias, danke sehr, merci, arigato….in any language. Great job to all who made this happen. We are each rewarded as well as the recipients. Make it an outrageous year ahead. Serbyou in 2020
c. Feel Good News! Our Fiona does it again!
d. Shake down on the beach Tuesday, went fishing, launched off looney loop like always, when we came back in our Mexican friend was backing the trailer down and a policia on a quad stopped him, told him no vehicles on the beach, wanted money, needless to say didn’t get it, finally left after about 15 min. Was a policia estal, may not be spelling that correctly. (OK unsigned)
e. Via the Ventana View: While there are more than 325 distinct hummingbird species in the world, La Ventana/El Sargento is home to only four. Ninety-nine percent of our hummers are Costa’s hummingbirds, but we also get the odd Anna’s and Rufous hummingbirds and there are special habitats with rock nettle in our area where one can see the endemic (only found here) Xantu’s hummingbird. Here are some interesting factoids about hummers. Weighing less than a nickel, they have about 1,000 to 1,500 feathers, the fewest number in the bird world. They can fly in all directions, flapping their wings between 50 to 200 times a second and reaching speeds of 60 mph in a dive. With the passing of each minute, their heart beats 1,200 times and they take 250 breaths. Their eggs are the tiniest in the bird world, smaller than a jelly bean. While hummers lick our provided sugar water at the rate of 10 to 15 times per second, they do need to eat small insects and spiders for protein. david.bird@mcgill.ca (I’m guessing if they’re in La Ventana we have them also?)
e. Via the Ventana View: A wonderful story of some local people:

EVENTS
a. Recycling Day is TODAY! You may bring your prepared recyclable materials to East Cape Recycling between 9-11am and a smiling volunteer will direct you to the proper area for each material. Please check our website for directions and what we accept: www.eastcaperecycling.com
NOTE: We are having a SPECIAL collection of clean, ordinary white plastic grocery bags! Annette Kaiser will be there gathering the bags for “Mats For Homeless Children”. Please bring all the clean bags you have been saving for this wonderful project.
If you can stay for an hour and BE one of our smiling VOLUNTEERS, wear a hat, gloves and close-toes sturdy shoes. We LOVE volunteers, new and veterans…we cannot exist without you! Thanks for your support for a cleaner, safer community and beaches! lynnmirassou@gmail.com
b. Semana Santa here in Los Barriles is April 18th – 20th. This is a celebration/festival of sports for the Holy Week. There are volleyball tournaments and other fun and games for everyone – this year with more of a festival atmosphere. One new addition this year is a boat light parade. This ‘light parade’ is April 18th at approximately 8pm. Mayor Luis is inviting everyone to get out their paddle board, kayak, zodac boats, tin boats or canoe and decorate it up with lights and join the parade along the shore. There will be a prize for the best decorated/lite boat….. so get your thinking caps on! Think of the festival of lights boat parades like in Seattle, Newport Beach and Lake Havasu…without the yachts!!! The ‘festival’ grounds are from Don Pepe to Costa Brava. There will be live music before the boat parade. Parking available on the beach – in a marked area. Watch for details on FB and the BPE. Posters are around town with more details too. Get planning your lite entry!
c. This is International Dark Sky Week, an event to help individuals protect the wonders of the night sky. Almost 20 light pollution reports have been posted so far from the Cape Region by concerned citizens. The data shows the night sky is darker in El Sargento and La Ventana as a result of new shielded LED street lights. However, it also shows that some porch and security lights are making stargazing impossible for nearby neighbors. Read about what you can do to make you and your neighbor’s night sky darker here.
