Sunset in Puerto Vallarta

welcome

Welcome to Puerto Vallarta

and Riviera Nayarit Here is some advice to make your trip a little easier and more enjoyable. TIME ZONE: The entire state of Jalisco is on Central Time, as is the southern part of the State of Nayarit starting from Guayabitos in the north. BUSES: A system of urban buses with different routes can bring you from one end of the bay to the other and all the spots in between. Current fare in Puerto Vallarta is $7.50 pesos per ticket and passengers must purchase a new ticket every time they board another bus. There are no “transfers”. TAXIS: There are set rates within defined zones of town. Do not enter a taxi without agreeing on the price with the driver first. Price is per trip not person. MONEY EXCHANGE: Although you may have to wait in line for a few minutes, banks will give you a higher rate of exchange than the exchange booths (caja de cambio). You will need your passport. Better yet, use your bank card to withdraw funds from any ATM machine. Note that ATM’s in the banks are the safest to use and generally charge lower fees. DRINKING WATER: For the 18th year in a row, Puerto Vallarta’s water has been awarded a certification of purity for human consumption. The quality of the water tested at the purification plant varies greatly from what comes out of the tap at the other end. So do be careful. If you want to be doubly sure, you can pick up bottled water just about anywhere. EXPORTING PETS: Falling love with the street dog outside your hotel or a puppy on the Malecon doesn’t mean they can’t come home with you. The process is fairly inexpensive and only takes a day or two. You need a certificate of health from a local vet among other things. The time of year that pets can travel in the cargo section of the plane may be your biggest challenge. For the most up-to-date information contact the Puerto Vallarta SPCA at spcapv@gmail.com. COMMON SENSE: Just as you wouldn’t walk around your hometown drunk and beligerent, it is not acceptable to do that here. While Mexicans are a forgiving bunch, basic politeness is appreciated. For the guys, peeing in public is a major faux pas and if you are caught, can get you tossed in jail or an expensive fine. Pay attention to your surroundings. Pay your bills. Be courteous. And have fun! DRINKING AND DRIVING: First off – just don’t. The consequences are not worth it. Taxis are cheap and plentiful. Fines are as much as 10,000 pesos. You can be taken to jail and your vehicle impounded. There are many checkstops on the weekends and you will be asked to blow if they suspect you have been drinking. LEGAL SYSTEM: Not knowing the law is not an valid excuse in Mexico or anywhere. If you find yourself caught in a legal situation be aware that guilt is presumed until your innocence can be proven. This is a very difficult lesson to learn if you are visiting from the United States or Canada in particular. Immediately contact your consulate for assistance.

Calling in Mexico Calling phones in Mexico can be tricky as it is different than in the US or Canada. There are different codes you need to use depending if you are calling landlines or cellular phones and if they are local or long distance. Long-distance calls from within Mexico For national long-distance calls (within Mexico) the code is 01 plus the area code and phone number. For international long-distance calls, first dial 00, then the country code (for the U.S. and Canada the country code is 1, so you would dial 00 + 1 + area code + 7 digit number). Calling Cell Phones (from a land line) If you are calling from a landline within the area code of the Mexican cell phone number dial 044, then the 10 digit number including area code. Outside of the area code (but still within Mexico) dial 045 and then the 10 digit phone number. Cell phone to cell phone only requires the 10 digit number. Phone Cards Phone cards (“tarjetas telefonicas”) for use in pay phones can be bought at newstands and in pharmacies in denominations of 30, 50 and 100 pesos. Pay phones do not accept coins. When buying a phone card for pay phone use, specify that you would like a “tarjeta LADA,” because pre-paid cell phone cards are also sold in the same establishments. Calling Toll-Free Numbers Some toll free numbers work from Mexico to the US and Canada, but many do not. You need to dial a different prefix. To call the following toll free prefixes, dial as follows: 800 numbers Dial 001-880-then the number 866 numbers Dial 001-883-then the number 877 numbers Dial 001-882-then the number 888 numbers Dial 001-881-then the number

e were coming back from Oceanfest at B Nayar when the storms began. We were bussing because the car is in the shop, (Yes, still!) and, since we were in search of tacos, decided to walk the 10 blocks home. In minutes the roads were flooded and we were as wet as we could possibly be. Jumping in puddles, dodging the big wakes from the trucks and buses, daring each other to stand under the drain pipes, we were like two giant kids at a water park. For those of you that follow along you'll know I moved into my latest house (number seven in five years) in December and so haven't had to deal with any major storms yet. Well, this Sunday's storm sure let me know where the leaks are: every doorway - there are five. Amazingly the roof held tight. We had so much water fall in just a few hours (7.5") that my yard and drainage couldn't absorb it and

ultimately it ran off the lawn/patio/ service area into my house. Every room filled with water. There was no fighting Mother Nature this time. We moved everything we could out of the way, hopped up on the bed with bunnies, a cat and the dogs to watch Netflix while we waited for it to pass. A modern tale of Noah's Ark. You'd think the floors would be cleaner, alas the water left a fine silt everywhere. But that lawn I've been wrestling with? It's lush and green. In fact, the whole garden is alive, things I thought would never come back are pushing out new green shoots. The joys of summers in the jungle.

Adorable Dog In The Spotlight... QUINN

ust look at the smile on this little boy!!! Quinn is the happiest little guy. He is just a year old, 35 pounds and a Labrador mix. He is quite socialized and loves his humans and other dogs. Quinn is very playful and enjoys his long walks. He is very well behaved and good on leash. Quinn would be a wonderful addition to any family. He has been neutered, dewormed and is current on all his vaccines. Now he just need to find his forever family. If you think this little boy would be the perfect companion for you, contact us at spcapv@gmail. com for an application.

Before the excitement of the storm, Carlos and I had gone to BNayar for the Oceanfest event. There were SUP events all day off the beach, a DJ kept the vibe chill, a gorgeous mermaid enthralled the children with her pretty hair and amazing tail. In all there were over 300 people enjoying the beach club facilities at BNayar while learning a little more about ocean conservation. Flippers off to Wayne and Penny of Timothy Real Estate Group for a well organized and enjoyable event. This coming week are the 'birthdays' for Canada and the US. There are a number of special events being held around town. Check your local bar for live music and specials. The Marsol Market and Three Hens and a Rooster Markets are still running every Friday and Saturday, respectively. See pages 12 and 13 for more details. That's it for me this week. Just a reminder to pick up litter whenever you can and support local businesses, it's in these slower months that every peso truly counts. Keep it local. Safe travels, Madeline

ome and spend a rewarding afternoon cuddling the animals at Puerto Vallarta’s SPCA Sanctuary. Our dogs and cats are awaiting “forever homes” and your help is needed to jump start their socialization. The goal is to get these animals adjusted and ready to interact in the real world. The majority of the SPCA animals either come from extremely abusive situations or they have been abandoned. Your love and attention can make up for that sad history. During your visit, you can interact with the animals and even take a dog (or two or three) for a walk. During the low season (May through October), reservations to visit the sanctuary need to be made in advance. To make a reservation, contact us at spcapv@gmail.com.

Canada to Lift Visa Requirements for Mexico

he Government of Canada has made it a top priority to re-establish and strengthen our relationship with one of our most important partners, Mexico. To this end, Prime Minister Trudeau today announced Canada’s intention to lift the visa requirement for Mexican visitors to Canada beginning December 1, 2016. Lifting the visa requirement will deepen ties between Canada and Mexico and will increase the flow of travellers, ideas, and businesses between both countries. Closer collaboration between Canada and Mexico on mobility issues will also help encourage travel between the two countries while preventing any increase in asylum claims or other irregular migration. Officials plan to meet regularly to promote these mutual interests. Canadian officials are working with their Mexican counterparts on final details to ensure a successful visa lift.

Until November 30, 2016, the visa requirement is still in place for Mexico and – until it is lifted – Mexican citizens must continue to apply for a visa to visit, study or work in Canada. Mexicans can apply online for a visitor visa on Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s website, or can use the services of one of the Visa Application Centres in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey. Visitors are generally allowed a six-month stay from the day they enter Canada. If the Border Services Officer authorizes a stay of less than six months, they will indicate in the visitor’s passport the date by which they must leave Canada. After the visa requirement is lifted, Mexicans wanting to work or study in Canada will still need to apply for a work or study permit prior to their arrival in Canada. Mexican citizens should also be aware that – once the visa is lifted – they will need an Electronic

B Travel Authorization (eTA) to fly or transit through Canada. Applying for an eTA is a simple, inexpensive (CAD$7) process that takes just minutes to complete online. The eTA is electronically linked to a traveler’s passport, and is valid for five years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. All visa-exempt foreign nationals – except for U.S. citizens – need an eTA to fly to or transit through Canada. Additional information will be provided to Mexican citizens in advance of the visa lift, including details on when Mexicans travellers can begin applying for their eTA. www.pm.gc.ca

oth butterflies and moths belong to the order of Lepidoptera. I think of moths as the cryptic nighttime cousins of the sun-loving butterflies; many species of moths rival the colouration and beauty of the most exotic butterflies. Giant Silk Moths or Atlas moths are members of the Saturniidae family, of which there are many very large and showy species. A number of species of Rothschildia occur throughout Mexico, looking much alike but with small variations. The species featured has a wingspan of 10-11 cm. They have a short adult life since they emerge from their cocoon with no mouthparts. Their only focus is to find a mate and reproduce. Females will remain quite close to their emergent site and produce a “come thither” pheromone that the males, with their sensitive feathery antennae can scent for long distances. Females are said to active from 11 pm till 12:30 am and males from midnight till 2:30 am. They use oak trees and possibly other plants on which to lay their eggs. I photographed this species at Mt Alban, Oaxaca, in early August, but they can be found in the Jalisco region as well.

ow, what a week! Vallarta’s first knockdown, drag-out, monster tormenta hit late Sunday night. Everything unplugged, cats terrorized, easy to bail by the daylight provided by the lightening. While I was wringing out rags and towels, trying to calm my kitties (and me) I realized just how much metal is in my house…handrail on the staircase, window sills, door frames and lightening. Did I mention prayer? Last week in this column, I wrote about seeing the last performance of “El Grito” at La Estacion, home of Ramiro Daniel’s Theatre group called Boa Viagem. Ramiro and his troupe were off to Lagos de Moreno for a state-wide competition and guess what? They won! He won! She won! The play, written and directed by Ramiro won for Best Screenplay and Best Director. Ana Karenina Nuñoz won Best Actress for her amazing portrayal of one extremely pissed off Mexican.

AND, the play won Audience Choice and Best Work. Ramiro directed another play in this extremely important competition called “El Hombre Ajeno” that I saw at the Centro Cultural Cuale Theatre with my dear friend Alain Perreault. “Ajeno” starred Cesar Bravo and Beto Mora. Both were nominated for Best Actor with the prize going to Cesar (who starred in Equus and was a delish Snow White in Princesas Desesperadas; the latter also directed by Ramiro!). I urge everyone in our expanding ex-pat community to run and see any and all productions by Boa Viagem. They are in Spanish, yes (Hey! It could be Portuguese!). Good practice AND (I know I keep using the same analogy over and over but…) not knowing Italian would never keep an opera buff away from Puccini, okay? So, go, fumble along like I do and rejoice in this richness of talent that is home grown and thriving! One last thing, if Ramiro Daniel was directing movies instead

of plays, he’d be picking up Academy Awards; THAT’S how good this theatre group is. I sat down last week with Roberto Castellon in his newest/oldest restaurant on Basilio Badillo. If you have spent any time – in the past 20 or so years – in Vallarta you have seen Roberto and/or eaten in one of his restaurants. Roberto’s Original Puerto Nuevo is back: Opened in 1988 across the street from where he is now, it is evident that this new/old place is finally all about Roberto bringing the freshest seafood to Vallarta’s tourists and residents. The décor is stylish without being fussy (paintings done by ex-pat Steve Fischer) and the food is not limited to the sea – the steaks look amazing. To go along with fresh local sea bass, shrimp, lobster, calamari, and more, is handmade pasta, a kid’s menu, a special ten-item summer menu coming up with everything on it UNDER 100 pesos. This menu includes special fresh water or soda and will be available from 12:30 to 4:30; you can sit outside or be cool in the A/C. Roberto is keeping his Restaurant Week $229 peso menu going until the end of July. You can also rent the entire place that will seat 40 people comfortably on each level. While I was enjoying a shrimp bruschetta, Roberto was telling me about recently reuniting with a couple he used to serve at his first Puerto Nuevo restaurant across the street more than 20 years ago. They saw him first standing outside, not believing their eyes, then, they saw his sign, recognized the logo and fairly flew across Basilio Badillo to chat. Not ten minutes after our conversation did Tricia and her husband from Saint Louis come in for dinner! We all enjoyed their reunion and Roberto’s superb food. Good to see an old friend not just “back in business” but doing what he does best in his adopted city of Puerto Vallarta. Stop in and say hello or hello again to Roberto, even if it’s just for a drink to cool off while you’re shopping. But stay and eat! Both Canada and the U.S. celebrate their respective countries July 1st and the 4th. Parties are everywhere. Go, have fun, eat, party and if you drink don’t drive. Walk, bus it or take a taxi, please. That’s it From Here.

The Art of

Starting Over

Rhonda Zarate

rhondazaratelifestyle@gmail.com

t is my goal to discover every single coffee shop in Puerto Vallarta, drinking one cup of coffee at a time. Coffee is my drink of choice, my daytime wine. I adore coffee. We have a daily affair; I love hanging in coffee shops, soaking up all the smells, sounds, and the overall atmosphere. I plan on seeing the world one cool coffee shop at a time. Yes, everyone has their goals and dreams, mine is to become a coffee connoisseur. The other day I came across, the coolest of all cool coffee shops, Vallarta Art Cafe. My kind of hidden jewel. Located at the start of the Malecon, in downtown Puerto Vallarta, beside the Rosita Hotel looking towards the ocean, this might be one of the grooviest shops I have stumbled upon yet. What I did not know, is that I would leave with a lot more than the best cup of coffee ever. I would leave with the piece of mind, knowing that no matter what happens in life, one can always land on their own two feet if they believe that to be the truth. What you might not know about me is, I am on the mission to find my happy; in whatever form it takes. I am also very curious about what other people’s happy looks like. I asked the owner of Vallarta Art Cafe, how on earth did she ever end up with this little piece of heaven? Her grace was mesmerizing as she puttered around the quaint shop filled with things for sale, all the while the aroma of the special coffee filled the air. She stopped and pondered my question. She then began to share with me the journey she and her husband had been on, to get to this destination. She was a Flight Attendant for over 25 years with Mexicana Airlines. One day she was employed with security, benefits and the next day she was unemployed. All her security disappeared overnight. No more pay cheques or benefits at all. Poof! Her life as she had known it was gone. Who thinks an airline will close their doors from one day to the next? She lost her income, pension, sense of self and became very unemployable in a matter of a

day. She explained to me that in Mexico City if you are a woman over 35 years old, you’re done as far as finding employment, regardless of what experience you might have. A The art of rediscovery and the notion of starting over was a process of self-discovery for her. She needed to decide what made her heart happy and what was the next chapter going to be for her and her husband. So what did they do, they made sweet lemonade out of sour lemons. They shifted gears and narrowed down what their hearts wanted. Their choice was a quieter life filled with the wonders of nature, ocean, and harmonious living. Voila Puerto Vallarta! A bonus to relocating here was their family had now grown to include seven dogs. This alone would have been such a challenge to take on in Mexico City. Now that all the dust has settled, and life is a peaceful flow, I asked her what is some piece of advice she would give to her younger self? Her quick response was simply, “I would tell myself never to be afraid to start over again, that is it never too late to reinvent yourself. Starting over can be fun.” Her story inspired me as so many others have. I feel so blessed to be in the presence of such a strong, intelligent and remarkable woman. Her story imprinted on my heart. I found such comfort in her parting words. We all have been dealt with ups and downs in our lives. It is never too late to start over! Life is meant to be a harmonious flow. If you feel like you are swimming upstream all the time, maybe it is time for you too, to look at starting over with your grand new adventure?

Homework: Start keeping track of your days, see if you have more happy days than not so happy days. If you’re happy more than not, great you’re doing things right. However, if you’re feeling blue on a continuous basis, it’s time to shake things up! It may be time for you to make some significant changes in your life. What would you tell your younger self?

Paradise Being fair to and the wrongly Parenting incarcerated Leza Warkentin

know I talk a lot about the foibles and drama of life as a teacher. This is because I am part of the human race. Humans are different from other mammals in a few different ways, but I think the biggest difference is this: our ability to make deliberate, conscious decisions about the direction of our lives and then complain about them in order to bring attention to ourselves. But as a matter of fact, I love my job. And, as a kindergarten teacher, there’s one day a year where I start getting sentimental. Every June I haul out the blue gowns, dust off (and attempt to flatten) the caps, and sigh nostalgically over the changes that happen to a six-year-old in ten short months. This makes sense if you think about the fact that a year is a sixth of a kindergartner’s life. A year is a big deal. These days I hear a lot about the education system needing an overhaul and about teachers who are so burned out from the policies and standardized testing that they just don’t care anymore. Of course, I have only worked in Canada and in Mexico, so I don’t know every teacher’s experience. I know that there are places where teachers are worked to the point of burning out. I have read enough and seen enough to know that the gifts of many an educator are not being utilized the way they could be, thanks to a reliance on the data and test scores in many schools and districts. Fortunately I work in a school that puts children first, and we do not burn ourselves out teaching to tests. We do work really hard, but we work hard in the career we chose, which is educating young minds. But I haven’t come across many teachers who just didn’t care. I am surrounded by these people every single day and I can tell you that caring enough will rarely be the problem. Your child’s third grade homeroom teacher cares enough to stay after school and during recess to make sure his students understand a new math concept.Your daughter’s first grade teacher cares

Caring Enough

C. Christopher Dalton

tax@orlandogotay.com

enough to eat lunch with her every day, because your little girl is new at school. And her teacher knows that first grade teachers still have major social currency, and that everyone will soon be surrounding her table telling corny knock-knock jokes. Your son’s high school math teacher cares enough to coach basketball on the side, on top of his full course load. He believes that sports can make the difference between getting a scholarship to a prestigious university or falling into apathy and your extra bedroom until he’s thirty-five. Your child’s kindergarten teacher cares enough to have high expectations for her students’ behavior, and helps them understand that there are real-life consequences when they don’t meet them, even though it would be so much easier to just let it go. Your children’s teachers care enough to lose sleep over your kids. They stay awake wondering if they should have said something differently, or if they should have asked another question, or if they did everything they could have done today. They lay there wondering what the key is to opening up that quiet little boy with no friends, or how to reach that little girl who has the potential but not the confidence. Your children’s teachers care enough to understand that they can make all the difference, for good or for not so good, with just one word, or one action. Every day they care enough to search for just the right word for that one child. And do it all over again for the other nineteen in their care. By June your children’s teachers are very very tired, and maybe that’s hard to understand. After all, our work is not a physical labor where we are digging ditches in the hot sun or carrying bricks on our shoulders. But we carry the lives of your children in our hands, and it’s not one we will ever carry lightly. It’s a privilege and it’s a joy to carry them so close to us for those ten months. And when we pass them on to other hands, it is with the caring that we will never set aside.

here are few things that, in my mind, could be more damaging and catastrophic than being wrongly accused, convicted and incarcerated for a crime one did not commit. As I was looking into the subject, I was shocked to learn that on average, the wrongly convicted person spends about twelve and a half years behind bars. The National Registry of Exonerations reports that from 1989 to 2012, there were 873 exonerations and “almost all are tragedies”. The federal government, the District of Columbia, and 30 states have compensation statutes of some form. These try to compensate by making cash payments of various kinds to those former inmates. Ostensibly, this would also help them reenter the society from which they were improperly taken away. One of them may be your neighbor. Besides the statutes I just described, some former inmates sue the government that prosecuted them and win civil awards for the wrongful incarceration. Some of these payments are substantial and can easily go in the six-figure range, and civil awards can be million dollar payments. As it turns out, those payments (and awards) were subject to federal income tax, like any other income. But the IRS

just issued guidance implementing recent changes in federal law, providing for the exclusion from federal tax, of payments made (and civil lawsuit awards) in favor of the wrongly incarcerated. In some instances, the federal exclusion may also operate as an exclusion from state income tax as well. “Wrongful incarceration” includes reversals of conviction on appeal, pardons that decree the innocence of the person, and others. To qualify, persons must prove they have received payments on account of the wrongful incarceration, and of course, have included them on prior federal income tax returns. If the money was taxed in prior years, the person can file amended returns to get refunds on the tax paid. A special provision ending in December 2016 allows refunds even from old years that are normally closed to refunds. It is far better not to find oneself in this situation, but this special tax benefit lessens the burden.

His love of things Mexican has led him to devote part of his practice to the tax matters of U.S. expats in Mexico. He can be reached at tax@orlandogotay.com.

Fun on the Riviera Nayarit Cat Morgan www.rivieranayaritfun.com Cat@RivieraNayaritFun.com

ola a todos! It has been another fun week on the Riviera Nayarit. The first annual Ocean Fest at B Nayar Village Resort in Bucerias was a successful event with over 300 people in attendance enjoying the festivities. As with every event there are always a few glitches, especially with a first time event, however, everyone had a great time in the Surf Mexico competitions and games. I will have the winners lists next week! The kids really loved the art tent with Mike Danielson, Katrina Liana (from the Marina Riviera Nayarit) and Pita. The evening ended with a big downpour a bit early, as once again Mother Nature steps in and has the last word. Penny Isabel stated, “We are very excited about next year’s event and what this event could

become.” A HUGE thank you to John Pounder, JLDigial.Net, for the awesome photos!! LOVE them. The American Independence Day on the Fourth of July is just around the corner and a there are some celebrations happening at two of my favorite Bucerias restaurants you may want to check out. Esquina 22 Bar and Lounge in Bucerias is celebrating their second year’s anniversary on July 2nd. Congratulations to Arturo and Alain on their success! Esquina 22 celebrates its 2nd anniversary with live music with Ricardo Cruces and duo Cheko & Alex from Luna Rumba …what a sweet treat! The music starts about 7pm. Alain states, “Thanks to the loyalty of the locals and tourists

alike. Arturo and I are very proud to offer quality menu items, great value in a very cool atmosphere where we wish that every customer feels like home.” And when Alain says “cool atmosphere” … yes he is talking about the great ambiance of Esquina 22, but they also have AC upon request if it’s not already on. Stop by and celebrate with them and beat the heat at the same time. Mark’s Bar and Grill is also celebrating the 4th of July. Chef Jan Benton always focuses on the quality of the ingredients in anything she is creating. They also bake all of their breads in the special bread oven, including the burger buns. Pancho at the bar is the best! They serve fresh squeezed orange juice in all of their drinks. My fav is Panchos Mia Tai! YUM>> Stop by to check out the daily summer specials as well. Thanks for tuning in this week. As always, if you have any questions or comments please email me at Cat@RivieraNayaritFun.com. Spread your love

around to all of the restaurants and shops during the summer months. Please check out our FBook page and give us a LIKE and stay updated on events

Life

In La Cruz PHOTOS: John Pounder

By Cindy Bouchard

official photographer for Oceanfest most recently. My other work is on marine electrical and electronic systems, although, I’m concentrating more on photography these days.” John enjoys most meeting new people and seeing spectacular properties and yachts. He says business is very good, “the marine electronics business grew so quickly that I have had to limit the projects that I can take on. The photography business is growing at a nice pace.”

first met John on a friend’s boat where he had done a great deal of mechanical work. We were invited on the sea trial voyage and he was busy testing, so I didn’t get a great visit, but I did learn that very day how John’s a ‘salt of the earth’ kinda guy, and we’ve been friends ever since. Before “retiring” John owned a custom electronics installation company in the Los Angeles area specializing in home theater systems, lighting controls, and home automation. John met his beautiful and spunky Liz in 2002. They left the US on their boat in 2006, cruising the Sea of Cortez and mainland Mexico for a few years. Arriving at La Cruz in 2010 and needing a safe place to spend hurricane season on their boat before continuing further south; they spent two more winters cruising Manzanillo, Zihuatanejo, and Barra de Navidad. John and lovely Liz returned to La Cruz in the summers, and then in 2012 they never left.

I put quotes around “retired” above because John is far from retired. Every day he’s either helping others with their boats or taking photos. When I asked John about his work he said: “My photography biz is focused on real estate and yachts with interior, exterior and aerial images from the drone. I also enjoy photographing the many sailing races and regattas in the Bay. I was the event photographer for the Laser World Championships in 2016, which was hosted by the Vallarta Yacht Club. I also provide photography for many local events; I was the

When John and Liz sold their boat (a 60' Trawler, power boat) they bought a ‘perfect, in my mind’ run-a-bout; a 21’ Center Console. John uses that boat when he’s taking photos on the water as the ‘press boat’ and when he and Liz want to get back onto the water. These days he’s into fishing and enjoys scuba diving. John got involved in the community thru friends, and environmental awareness would top his list of causes. If he could wave a magic wand, John’s wish for La Cruz de Huanacaxtle in five years would be that there were no homeless animals, there would be better environmental awareness and improvements in education, oh and an In & Out Burger; and I agree!! John’s proudest about building and then selling his business, allowing Liz and him to go cruising and live aboard their boat while still young enough to enjoy it. John says he recommends La Cruz to others; • For a vacation there’s so much to do; fishing, boating, music, restaurants and on top of all that the town is lovely and the people so friendly. • To move here: All of the above, plus affordable real estate, medical care and a convenient and an airport which is very important for grandbaby visits.

New Assisted Living Home Opening in Bucerias Marilyn Moxin - Bucerias Tercera Edad

n the winter of 2013 we agreed to provide assistance to needy members of Club Tercera Edad in Bucerias in exchange for the senior women making craft items to sell at the weekly markets. The monies raised at the markets provided for medication and health care for the club’s needy members. We soon recognized there were countless needy seniors who are not members of Club Tercera Edad. One of our volunteers advised us he could provide for the needs of the club members at which point we decided to expand our horizons and reach out to non club members to provide assistance where needed. At that time we became a registered Mexican charity, Bucerias Tercera Edad A.C. We soon became aware of instances of elder abuse and the lack of everyday comforts many of the Mexican seniors are faced with. While we recognize that there is tremendous poverty in Mexico, we also recognize that many children do not care for their aging, ailing parents. It is simply not acceptable that a senior woman should sleep on cardboard placed on a dirt floor. Further it is not acceptable that this woman’s children would sell a bed we could donate for her comfort. In view of our observations of the lack of care and comforts afforded the needy elderly population in and around the Bucerias area we feel these pioneers deserve proper care that can be afforded through an assisted living home. Our hearts flutter when Elana refers to the walker we donated to her as her car and tells us she was able to attend church for the first time in 2 years by using the walker and resting on the seat along the way. This same woman now has a comfortable bed to sleep on and new sheets to cover the bed. Sr. Alvarez is now more mobile with a walker to replace the old crutches he used to get around on his seve-

rely enlarged and arthritic legs. The smile on this man’s face when he received the walker was heartwarming and conveyed his appreciation. This man has eight children and only one with a limited income visits her father. While we still continue raising funds to build an assisted living home in order to provide the local aging population with the comforts they so deserve, we continue to solicit donations of wheelchairs, walkers, beds, clothing, blankets and other household donations from Canada and from local tourists to provide an interim solution. May 1st 2016 we decided to rent a house in Bucerias, Calle Juan Escutio 55, which has 5 bedrooms with a bathroom attached to each. The home Casa de la Paz, will house 10 residents of which 8 will be needy Mexicans and 2 ex-pats. Casa de la Paz offers: • 24/7/365 care with trained staff in a home like atmosphere with a very large secure garden area, • Physical and Occupational Therapy • Dietary Care • Adult Day Care • Doctors and Dentist on call, on a voluntary basis, residents will supply their own prescription drugs as well as diapers. By Canadian or American standards our financial needs are small but fund raising in Mexico is not an easy task. We raise funds through sales at craft markets, fund raising dinners and donations and are seeking assistance to meet our goal of the $150,000 American dollars required to build our own home through service clubs and corporate donations. Canadian and American tax receipts can be issued. We would love to have you visit our home, for more information call Jim at (322) 100-7544 or Bruno, Administrator, (322) 231-6994.

VALLARTA SHOPPI

Marsol Market by the Pier

xclusivity is a wonderful thing, especially in retail and in Puerto Vallarta where so much that is for sale is made in…(gulp) CHINA! Artisan Markets

are so important – not just to (hopefully) make a living for the artist but to sustain and encourage culture and enrichment in any and every environment. Puerto Vallarta has been home to

INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP CLUB

Investing in Puerto Vallarta

Members of IFC raise hundreds of thousands of pesos each year from Home Tours, lectures and social events. The club invests part of that money in the community of Puerto Vallarta by supporting many local charities including the library, orphanages, a daycare for disabled kids and schools in poor areas of the city. www.ifcvallarta.com 322-222-5466

some extraordinary artists – painters, sculptors, writers, actors, musicians – you name an art form and we will have a living example wandering among us like normal folks. In the summer, during the rains, most Artisan/ Farmer’s Markets close because they are outside (and, no, not just because the tourists/snowbirds go home). One can keep the sun off with a tent but the intensity of our rain ‘showers’ make being outside in June not an option. So, there are indoor Markets with the same quality of goods but with less crowding, more space to wander and take your time and ask questions – should you have any – of the artist/creator of the products.

Day Pass 50% off PRESENT THIS COUPON

A case in point: Ricardo Mazcal, fourth generation herbalist/healer/chemist/ naturopath who, every Friday morning, packs up his envelopes full of magical remedies and boxes of creams and lotions and sets up in the Marsol Hotel vast lobby to wait for his clientele to arrive for their fresh batch of natural products he makes every day. Ricardo’s “magic bags of herbs” are selling like crazy. Two of these a day is all you need nutritionally (when mixed with 2 liters of water). Period. Super for keeping your energy levels from crashing and burning or if you are on the run and can’t stop to eat. Ricardo’s creams obviously work!

Three Hens and a Rooster Market News

ith Canada Day and the Fourth of July looming and throwing a party for all your friends seemed like a good idea at the time but you will need some food! Too hot to cook or – heaven forbid – to BAKE…Three Hens has delicious answers: Mark Hughes, our fabulous Brit Pie Guy, has these specials for this Saturday only: Three meat and pastry pies for only $200 pesos AND/OR three quiches for $100 pesos. (The cheese and broccoli are highly recommended) and for dessert (come on all you Canadians!): butter tarts. There are fruit pies as well but there are BUTTER TARTS! Right next door to Mark is Peter Hardy who has an abundance of bread, boiled and baked bagels and cinnamon buns. Any Canucks vaguely recall ‘Cinnabons’, famous throughout Alberta? These are right there. While we are on baked goodies – Pat Wagner is adding to her colourful wine bags (only $40 pesos each!), gorgeous hand-done pillows, clothes and art work with peach bread, zucchini bread and

carrot cake. Peach jam and strawberry jam, pickled salads-in-a-jar and peanut butter cookies a la Betty Crocker originals!

Dean Martin – Singer, Actor, Comedian By Fred Jacobs

ean Martin was born Dino Paul Crocetti in Ohio on June 7, 1917, to Italian immigrants. Dean took up the drums as a hobby as a teenager but found the classroom not his thing. Dean dropped out of high school in grade 10, because “he thought he was smarter than his teachers.” After quitting high school, Dean worked odd jobs including being an amateur welterweight boxer under the name "Kid Crochet." Of his twelve bouts, Dean said: "I won all but eleven." Dean also got involved in illegal activities, including being a bootlegger and driving liquor across state lines during prohibition, being a bookie and working as a card dealer in local gambling joints. At the same time, Dean sang with local bands, calling himself "Dino Martini." He got noticed by Cleveland bandleader Sammy Watkins, who hired him as the band's featured vocalist. Dean began touring with Watkins in 1938, and in 1940, he changed his name to Dean Martin. Throughout the early 1940s, Dean was still just an average singer, but he did find work with various bands, mostly getting away with his looks and personality. Martin got a big break but flopped at the Riobamba nightclub in New York. But the flop led to a win, as he followed a young Frank Sinatra in 1943, and it was the setting for their meeting. The same period he met and married his first wife Betty, they had four children together but divorced in 1949. In 1944, he was given his 15-minute radio program entitled Songs by Dean Martin, broadcast from New York City. In 1946, he signed a contract and recorded four songs with Diamond Records.

In 1964, Dean recorded his blockbuster hit, “Everybody Loves Somebody,” which even beat the Beatles to become No. 1 on the charts for one week. Dean was gaining a following, but his career was still not taking off. During a club engagement in 1946, Dean met Jerry Lewis, and the two began joking around with each other during their respective acts. They teamed up in 1947, with Martin playing the straight man to Lewis's clown. NBC broadcast a

regular 30-minute radio program featuring the pair in 1949, and they made their television debut in the Colgate Comedy Hour in 1950. The immensely popular Martin and Lewis team ended up on the big screen making 16 films together between 1949 and 1956. After ten years as a team, Martin and Lewis split up due to

creative and personal differences. Fans looked at them as being a married couple almost, and when the breakup occurred, it was like a divorce. It shocked people because they thought Martin and Lewis would go on forever. The personal feud lasted 20 years, and the two never spoke the whole time. It was not until Frank Sinatra secretly arranged Dean to show up unannounced on the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon in 1976 that the two were reunited. After “the breakup”, Dean returned to his solo singing act, with success, including gigs in Las Vegas. It was in Vegas that Dean started mixing onstage with a group of close friends who were members of the legendary Hollywood clique known as the Rat Pack. The group, which included Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford, WAS the high life; booze, women and the bright lights of Vegas and was a natural fit for Dean. Often, when one of the members of The Rat Pack was scheduled to give a performance, the rest of the Pack would show up for an impromptu show, causing much excitement among audiences. Rat Pack members almost always sold out their shows, and people would come pouring into Las Vegas, sometimes sleeping in cars and hotel lobbies when they could not find rooms, just to be part of the Rat Pack experience. It truly became a phenomenon. The Rat Pack soon branched out from Vegas to the big screen. The Rat Pack starred as an ensemble cast in the caper film “Ocean's Eleven” (1960), “Sergeants Three” (1962) and “Robin and the Seven Hoods” (1964). In all, Dean appeared in a total of 51 films in his lifetime, including “Some Came Running”

New Birdwatching Signage Installed In San Pancho

he new signage offers locals and visitors information regarding the biodiversity of native birds along four different routes: the San Pancho estuary, the Ahuacatal Las Calabazas stream, Las Clavellinas and the Capomo trail. The San Pancho Bird Observatory (OASP by its acronym in Spanish) sent out a press release announcing the installation of second-generation informational signage in the different birdwatching routes in San Pancho, the Cultural Capital of the Riviera

Nayarit. “These signs have helped raise awareness with the locals regarding the importance of maintaining a rich biodiversity of birds in the area and raising the standards of the ecotourism infrastructure, as well as promoting birdwatching as a community-based resource for the sustainable conservation of birds and their habitats,” read the OASP release. This unique signage is cutting edge and paves the way for the Riviera Nayarit to be included as a birding destination on a global,

sustainable level. The new signage offers locals and visitors information regarding the biodiversity of native birds along four different routes: the San Pancho estuary, the Ahuacatal Las Calabazas stream, Las Clavellinas and the Capomo trail. This project took place thanks to the support and sponsorship of over 20 businesses, civil associations, NGOs, and local and international partners that have lent their efforts to the sustainability of the destination.

(1958) with Shirley MacLaine and Frank Sinatra, “Bells Are Ringing” (1960) with Judy Holliday, “Rio Bravo” (1959) with John Wayne, “Airport” (1970) and “Cannonball Run” (1981). In 1964, Dean recorded his blockbuster hit, "Everybody Loves Somebody," which even beat the Beatles to become No. 1 on the charts for one week. It became the theme song for his television variety series, “The Dean Martin Show”, which ran from 1965 on NBC for eight years. Next came “The Dean Martin Comedy Hour”, which ran from 1973/74. The central part of Dean's TV character was his comedic portrayal of life as an alcoholic lush, which many people never realized was just an “act.” Next Dean produced and hosted “The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast” which ran as a regular “special” on NBC-TV from 1974 to 1984. In all, it was a series of 54 shows, where Martin and guests would periodically "roast" a celebrity. These roasts were patterned after the roasts held at the New York Friars' Club. The specials became wildly popular for getting truthful digs at the guest of honor’s personal and professional life. In all, Dean was married three times and had eight children. His last marriage ended in 1976, and he spent the next 20 years a happy bachelor. Dean Martin died of acute respiratory failure on Christmas morning in 1995, at the age of 78, in Beverly Hills, California. While Dean was a star, he seemed happiest just to make people smile, whether through his music, acting or comedy. He succeeded in that.
