welcome

Welcome to Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit

A

t the Tribune we want you to have the best experience possible while you explore Puerto Vallarta, the Bay of Banderas and Riviera Nayarit. Here are some helpful tips for traveling. TIME ZONE: The entire state of Jalisco is on Central Time, as is the southern part of the State of Nayarit starting from San Blas 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. If you’re going further than San Pancho, head to the main bus terminal to catch a ‘Pacifico’ bus. Current fare is 7.50 pesos 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. Make a note of the taxi number in case you leave something behind. Drivers typically do not carry change.

UBER: New in 2017 to Puerto Vallarta, Uber is still experiencing some growing pains particularly in the state of Nayarit. Uber is about 25-50% cheaper than a taxi, but this is subject to change. The benefits of using Uber are set fares and the ability to follow up directly with your driver if there is an incident or you leave an item behind. MONEY EXCHANGE: Typically a bank 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. Note that ATM’s in the banks are the safest to use and charge lower fees. DRINKING WATER: While Puerto Vallarta’s water has been

awarded a certification of purity for the past two decades, the quality of the water tested at the source 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 in love with the street dog outside your hotel is easy to do and it’s also easy to bring them home with you too. The process is inexpensive and only takes a day or two. You need a certificate of health from a local vet among other things. 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 belligerent, it is not acceptable to do that here. While Mexico is a tolerant culture, basic politeness is appreciated. Don’t pee in the streets. Don’t flash your money or expensive gadgets. Pay attention to your surroundings. Know where you are going. Pay your bills (and don’t forget to tip). And have fun! DRINKING AND DRIVING: First off – just don’t. The consequences are not worth it. Taxis or Ubers are cheap and plentiful. Fines are as much as 12,000 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 a 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. Immediately contact your consulate for assistance.

CALLING IN MEXICO Calling phones in Mexico can be tricky. 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 (U.S. and Canada 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, the 10 digit number. 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 newsstands and in pharmacies. Pay phones do not accept coins. When buying a phone card for pay phone use, specify that you would like a tarjeta LADA. CALLING TOLL-FREE NUMBERS Some toll free numbers work from Mexico to the US and Canada, but many do not. Those that do work are often not toll-free. 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

f you’re reading this on a Thursday or Friday there’s still time! Starting at midnight on Friday evening Banderas Bay heads into Ley Seca (Dry Law) for the upcoming Sunday elections. No alcohol can be sold for 48 hours from Friday Midnight to Sunday Midnight. Occasionally there are exceptions for all-inclusive resorts but for the most part – don’t expect to find readily available booze this weekend. The caveat here is that alcohol can’t be sold but there is nothing from stopping you from bringing your own into most establishments. In fact Mordidas (Manantial 375, Col. Buenos Aires, Puerto Vallarta) posted that they are going to be serving set-ups or all the fixings needed to make a drink, you just need to bring your own poison. All of this is a lead up to what is the largest election in Mexican history. In addition to new state and municipal positions the presidency is up for grabs this Sunday. With so many seats available, the political landscape is likely going to look very different and though for most of us it will be business as usual, I would exercise a bit of extra caution during these coming days as emotions are running high. On Wednesday, July 4th there are a number of Independence Day Celebrations happening around the bay. We put together a list for you

in case you’re looking for some red, white, and blue festivities. We also continue to expand our live music calendar and events calendar. If you have an upcoming event remember our deadline is every Friday. The best way to be included is to add your listing to our online calendar at www.vallartatribune. com and we’ll take it from there. The rains have started to come with more force and frequency. If you haven’t already, please take a moment to pick up the plastic garbage on the streets so it doesn’t run into the spillways and rivers, ultimately heading to the ocean. With the weather we have been

P

laya Destiladeras – An 8km long beach that sits on the north side of the bay, just past La Cruz and before you get to Punta de Mita. This wide flat beach has near perfect fine white sand and shallow waters. This weekend the bathwater ocean was as clear as glass and a beautiful

aqua colour. The beach offers a huge gated parking lot as well as an onsite restaurant with separate bathrooms and showers. There are tables, chairs and umbrellas for rent ($200 pesos for a table, 4 chairs and an umbrella for the day) or bring your own, there is plenty of space. There are a handful of venders selling fresh fruit, baked

seeing larger than normal waves, particularly in the afternoons. Never turn your back on the ocean. Be safe. That’s it for me this week. Safe travels, Madeline

goods and grilled fish and shrimp on a stick. You can also get a new hammock, beach blanket, sarong or other souvenirs. Getting There: You can take any bus that says Punta Mita on the front. From La Cruz take the old highway (left at the fork) and continue to just past highway marker km 9. From the parking lot it’s a short slightly sloped walk along a well-designated path. You can’t miss it.

Mexico: Alcohol ban, or La Ley Seca, enforced during this election weekend By Allison Jackson

I

f you’re in Mexico this weekend bring your own alcohol. In the states of Jalisco and Nayarit, La Ley Seca, or the dry law, will be in force from midnight Friday to midnight Sunday for the Mexican elections. On occasion tourist destinations are exempt but as of Nearly 80 million people are eligible to vote for the country’s president, mayors, governors and lawmakers, and the government wants them to be sober and compos mentis when they do it. The law dates back to the Mexican revolution at the beginning of the 20th century and bans the sale of booze up to 48 hours before a major election and on the day of the vote, though some areas are now exempt from the restriction. Elections will be held Sunday. People across the country are stocking up on tequila, beer and

wine in preparation for the ban, which applies to bars, restaurants, supermarkets and liquor stores, according to Notimex. Establishments caught breaking the law will be fined and their premises shuttered, according to the Federal District Commercial Establishments Law. Some Mexicans -- known for their twisted sense of humor -have joked that given the quality of the presidential candidates in this year’s election alcohol might be just the incentive they need to get them to the polling booth. Twitter was buzzing with reminders to Mexicans to buy their grog today, lest they go thirsty this weekend. One Internet user called Guillermo Baez joked that he was planning to vote in the popular tourist city of Mazatlan on the east coast where the law is not enforced.

Estimated occupancy of 80% as Vallarta Readies for the Summer Holidays • The holiday period runs from July 7 to August 20 and occupancy is estimated to be as high as 80% with an economic benefit of approx. 730 million pesos.

Mexican airline Volaris offers free flights for separated children

R

eporting on the same period of 2017, it is expected that at the end of summer holidays, the occupation percentage will fluctuate between 77.50 and 80 percent. The report indicates that the strong summer season will be between July 7 and August 20, and according to occupancy estimates, the daily percentage will vary between 70 and 85 percent, although there will be days expect4ed to exceed 90 percent, especially in July when we expect ahigher number of visitors. Economic income for this period is estimated between 728 and 730 million pesos, with an average daily income of between 12 and 18 million pesos, although the busier days are expected to exceed 20 million pesos. The municipal office reported

that both authorities and providers of tourism services are ready to receive and serve the more than one million of vacationers who will arrive at this destination this summer. There are tourist information booths set up in different parts of the city and on some beaches with trained staff to provide attention and guidance to visitors.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) Mexican airline Volaris said on Friday it was offering free flights to reunite families separated by the “zero tolerance” immigration policy of U.S. President Donald Trump. “It hurts us to see these children without their parents and it is our vocation to reunite them,” Volaris said in a statement. The airline said it would work with authorities in the United States, Mexico and Central America to offer free flights on its pre-existing routes to reunite children with their parents. According to its website, Volaris flies to over 65 locations across Mexico, the United States, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. After facing an uproar at home and abroad, Trump bowed to intense pressure on Wednesday and signed an order ending the separation of children from their

families while parents were prosecuted for crossing the border illegally. This week, four major U.S. airlines asked the federal government not to use their flights to transport migrant children away from their parents. Some of the over 2,300 children separated from their parents since mid-April have been flown to states far from the border area between Mexico and the United States, where their parents are being charged in immigration courts, according to media reports. There have been some cases of immigrants being deported without their children. On Thursday, El Salvador demanded a seven-year old boy be returned to his father who was deported back to the Central American country this week. Reuter.com

Banxico raises interest Puerto Vallarta to Celebrate 2nd Annual rate to 7.75% in move Mango Festival Saturday July 7th anticipated by markets By Dennis A. Rike

It’s ‘a complex panorama’ for economy, internally and externally

T

he Bank of México increased its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points today to 7.75%, the highest level since December 2008. The rate hike is the second this year after the central bank, also known as Banxico, raised its key rate by the same margin in February. The decision, taken unanimously by the Banxico board, was widely anticipated by financial markets. “It is forecast that the economy will continue to transit through a complex panorama, both externally and internally, which makes it particularly important that, in addition to pursuing a prudent and firm monetary policy, measures are adopted that encourage greater productivity and sustainably consolidate public finances,” the bank said in a statement. In its final monetary policy announcement before the July 1 presidential election, Banxico also said it would not hesitate to make further moves if necessary. Inflation decreased slightly in May to an annual rate of 4.51% compared to 4.55% in April but Banxico said that some previously identified upside risks have begun to materialize, meaning that the downward trend is likely to slow or stagnate. “In particular, there has been a greater depreciation of the exchange rate and pressures on the price of gasoline and LP gas associated with increases in their international benchmarks. If these factors persist, the rate of decline in inflation would be affected,” Banxico said. With regard to the United States’ recent decision to impose tariffs on Mexican steel and aluminum imports, Banxico said it expected that the duties would only have a short-term and limited impact on inflation. However, if monetary policy was not modified, the tariffs too could contribute to a slowing of convergence towards the inflation target of 3%, the bank said. Marco Oviedo, chief economist for financial services company Barclays in Mexico, told the

newspaper El Financiero that he expected that today’s interest rate increase would be the last adjustment for the year before a downward adjustment is made next year. Oviedo also said that he expected inflation to remain stable at around 4%, which he noted was above the central bank’s target and therefore would obviously “keep Banxico on the prudent side.” Benito Berber, a strategist from Japanese financial company Nomura Securities, said that future monetary policy decisions will be heavily dependent on the prevailing exchange rate and inflationary pressures. The peso has declined 12% against the U.S. dollar during the course of the second quarter of this year but rallied slightly to gain 0.85% this afternoon and is currently trading at around 20.2 to the dollar. The currency has come under pressure this year due to uncertainty about the future of the North American Free Trade Agreement and the outcome of the July 1 presidential election. Presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador has a commanding lead in the polls and according to an analyst from Exotix Capital, it’s likely that the peso has already priced in the “near certainty of an AMLO victory.” However, Rafael Ellis added that “a period of heightened volatility” for the peso is expected “between AMLO’s likely election victory on 1 July and inauguration day on 1 December, since it will be during that period that investors will get to know AMLO’s likely cabinet.” Original: MexicoNewsDaily

Did you know? Ask any Mexican to name his or her favorite fruit, and

chances are the answer will be el mango. From very early spring until late summer, mangos are everywhere: stacked into symmetrical monotones (“mountains”) in the markets, sold in the street on sticks, with the flesh cut to resemble flower petals, or in large glass jars in a spicy vinaigrette. Additionally, mangos are also used in cooking, especially in la nueva cocina, Mexican nouvelle cuisine. In the months from October to February, when fresh mangos are largely unavailable, they are well represented by a huge variety of prepared juices and drink mixes, gelatin, candy, fruit leather, sauces and pickles, both bottled and canned. But such was not always the case. Mangos, like another Mexican favorite, rice, are indigenous to Asia, especially India, where they have been so basic a part of the diet for 4,000 years that the Sanskrit word for mango, am, means “provisions.” From India, the fruit spread throughout the Far East, and was first brought to Mexico in 1775 by the Spanish galleons that regularly crossed back and forth from the Philippines to Acapulco. A century later, they were introduced to the Gulf coast area from

the British Antilles through the port of Veracruz, an area that is famous for the mango variety most prized by Mexicans, the manila. The word mango is an adaptation of the Tamil name for the fruit, mang-kay. Sinaloa, Nayarit, Jalisco, Michoacan, Veracruz and Chiapas are Mexico’s most important mango growing and exporting states. Mexico has been the biggest exporter of mangos worldwide for several years, being only slightly edged out by China some years. (India is the world’s largest producer of the fruit, but consumes a great deal of it nationally.) The most widely grown varieties in Mexico are the manila, a small, flat, green-to-yellow mango with a point called a beak at one end; the criollo or petacon, a large, sweet, round, reddish-orange version of the fruit; the Tommy Atkins and the Kent, very large, highly perfumed fruit, sometimes growing nearly to the size of small melons. These last two are called “Floridas” by Mexican mango growers, after the US state where they were first developed. For more information contact Dennis2rike@hotmail.com or 322-138-8891

Vibes & Vices:

116 Pulpito

AJ Freeman

cosmiccapt@gmail.com

AJ Freeman is an adventurous spirit, serial friendmaker, and general enthusiast. He lives his everyday life hoping to demonstrate the nearly infinite potential for discovery and wonder on this small wet rock orbiting a dim yellow star in the backwoods of the Milky Way.

A

t least in English, there are things that have the right name, and there are those that do not...one of the biggest examples of a miss in that area was in naming the singularly bountiful and animated planet we live on “Soil” or something like that. However, along with the “corkscrew” and “speaker” in the category of naming successes is the concept known as “happy hour,” a custom observed far and wide in The Species. Sure, the good ones are more than 60 minutes long, but I’m open to a bit of poetic license and the first part is more important anyway. These etymological reflections were swimming beneath my hair dye as I found my way on Olas Altas toward 116 Pulpito, an inviting little establishment located at--you know what, google it. I got a tip that the gastropub was offering happy hour specials on featured drinks as well as a 20 peso tapas menu from 6-11pm on this day, and so I was compelled to investigate. The Vibes: Contemporary philosopher André Benjamin once noted that “you could plan a pretty picnic, but you can’t predict the weather,” and that was certainly the case

on the evening of my visit. Rainy season in PV is notorious for its unpredictability, and while the sky was clear and calm on the way downtown, the weather had taken something of a dreary turn. The mild inconvenience did little to negatively impact the atmosphere at Pulpito. If I can be meta for a moment, I spoke of my enjoyment of outdoor dining, and with plenty of sidewalk seating and a more than capable awning along with a direct ocean view from my table, I surely wasn’t going to let a little rain ruin my day. Neither, apparently, did the established clientele of 116 Pulpito. While I enjoyed my first caipirinha at the street table in near-solitude, the surrounding outdoor tables quickly filled up as the intimate interior dining area steadily overflowed with patrons. Spirited games of Table Tetris unfolded in the background as large parties were accommodated and late-coming guests came looking for dinner, sometimes waiting up to half an hour for seating. Clearly this was a place you should either arrive at early or plan on staying in a while...I, displaying my masterful foresight in such

affairs, had planned to do both... and indeed I did.

 The Vices: The tapas themselves were a diverse and colorful collection of fancy toast points available in multiple preparations, from the pictured shrimp and crab salad variety, topped with a boiled egg and veggies to essentially form a tiny salad with extra croutons, to a particularly interesting type bearing what appeared to be a chorizo pig in a blanket. I certainly feel like I got my dollar’s worth with every bite.

For my main meal, I noticed that Pulpito also offered pizza made to order with a wide range of ingredients, and after reviewing the options over a couple of Tequila Mules--less Moscow and more Mexico City--I decided to commission a tribute to a recently departed hangout in the

June 28 - July 4, 2018 www.vallartatribune.com

form of a salmon, bacon, onion, tomato, and bleu cheese combination that in my mind, is called the “Patio.” The host made something of a quizzical look at me as I reeled off my order in my clunky Spanish, but he was patient enough to let me butcher his native tongue for over four hours and in any event brought me what I wanted...besides, in fairness, it is kind of a weird order. At least it sounds that way... the saltiness of the meats was balanced well by the freshness of cherry tomatoes, plus onions make practically everything better. It was almost like the one at the jazz lounge, only this place wasn’t closed forever. A few spritzes of the spray-bottle balsamic (an inspired implementation on their part, to be sure) and well over half the pie disappeared into my memories. I waited out the rain with a Bohemia, got the rest to go, then headed back to Versalles to adjust my sleep cycle for a soccer game this week...not a bad way to spend a rainy day at all. The Verdict: 116 Pulpito is a surprisingly active streetside bar and restaurant serving up an appealing array of Monday munchies along with their regular menu just a few steps from the seaside. You won’t always get a perfect sunset, but that can hardly be blamed on the staff...maybe I’ll catch you there. 116 Pulpito (Pulpito 116), Old Town facebook.com/ cientodieciseispulpito/

International Congreso

O

ftentimes, the local English-speaking population is not aware of the large amount of “congresos” that are held here. What is a congreso? Well, translated of course it is ‘congress’ but it would be considered a symposium, an international meeting, and gathering and of course, there are literally thousands of these, held worldwide. There have been international symposiums here in Puerto Vallarta for plastic surgery, orthopedic specialties, dermatology among many others. Physicians and other professionals arrive from all parts of the world to attend. Not only is this a positive nod to the Puerto Vallarta Medical community but as well, to Puerto Vallarta as an international destination. From July 3, 2018 through July 7, 2018, Puerto Vallarta Will be the host to the “XX Congresso Internacional de Cirugia para la Obesidad y Enfermedades Metabolicas”. The 20th International Symposium of Surgery for Obesity and Metabolic Diseases. There will be featured speakers (physicians) from North and South America, physicians/ surgeons who are outstanding in their field, covering a wide variety of topics relevant to bariatric and metabolic surgery. As many know, Dr. Armando Joya is a leader in the field of bariatric surgery, having performed literally thousands of surgeries. He

has changed the lives of countless people, myself included. During this particular upcoming event, Dr. Joya will be performing approximately ten “live” surgeries which means the actual surgery will be broadcast and transmitted to closed circuit screens for the people attending the congress. The coordination of this, including programming the patients, surgery staff, technical details from the operating room, operating nurses, admissions department, nursing personnel, among a zillion other details is not an easy feat! But it is being handled by Dr. Joya’s team and staff at Hospital San Javier Marina and we are completely confident it will be an outstanding few days! Dr. Joya has performed these live, transmitted surgeries in the past. A story that I will never forget is the time that in a room filled with highly respected surgeons, from around the globe, as a surgeon from somewhere in South America looked on, he said “watching Dr. Joya’s hands doing a surgery is like watching someone perform a symphony.” I am very proud to be part of his team.

June 28 - July 4, 2018 www.vallartatribune.com

I am the preschool coordinator and nursery teacher at the American School of Puerto Vallarta. I am also both unsurprised and not a bit sorry that this list of my favorites is mostly about places to eat. If you can live in Vallarta without appreciating some of the good eatin’ around here, you have to be at least half Vulcan.

A Parent in Times of Crisis

R

ight now my daughter is downstairs having a birthday sleepover with her three best friends. On the one hand, it’s music to my ears, because she truly comes alive with those three girls she’s known since nursery school. All the attitude, the silliness, the eye-rolling we are privileged to witness on a daily basis finally has context in the company of these dramatic, vivacious, LOUD, beautiful pre-teen females. On the other hand, I’m just dead-tired and beginning to question my very sanity. But I figure I am like most parents throughout history who want their kids to be happy and thus suffer a million inconveniences for their sake. Since I am not sleeping anyway (Twilight: the movie, volume way up, with squealing intervals when Edward and Bella show physical affection of any kind), I begin to think about this idea: Most of us suffer a million inconveniences for our children. We drive hundreds of miles for lessons and school and friends. We plan parties and fold laundry. We slog through the grocery store at 9pm because we forgot to buy Valentine’s Day for the party tomorrow. But do we know, really know, what it means to suffer for them? Do we know what it’s like to leave our homes in the dead of the night, hearts pounding, our kids’ faces muffled to our chests so no one will hear their frightened questions? Do we know what it’s like to just run, not knowing to where, not knowing to whom, but just running for our very lives? Do we have any idea of what it’s like to hold the lives of our children in our hands and make a split-second decision that could lead to their deaths? The closest I’ve ever come to this kind of horror was when Hurricane Patricia passed by our little

bay in the fall of 2015. Some people were being evacuated and other people were evacuating themselves, because we were told it was going to be bad. Like, the worst. We had a small window in which to decide if we were leaving or were going to stick it out at home. Several friends of ours took to the highways and spent most of the storm in their cars in nose-to-nose traffic. Others were taken to shelters and rode it out with hundreds of frightened families. We weighed all the odds and stayed at home, Gil and I doing some serious praying and deep-breathing exercises. Fortunately, the storm fizzled out over the mountains and we were just fine. But I learned a few things that during that awful day and I hope I never un-learn them. I know what it’s like to watch over my children and wonder if they would wake up the next day with a roof over their heads. I know what it’s like to realize you may need to run with no real destination. I know what it’s like to have your child ask you if it’s going to be ok, and you really aren’t sure. I am not great at the art of debate. I, like most classic introverts, need a bit of time to think, and then come up with a great viewpoint about three hours later. No one has time for that. But, for me, I don’t think it’s about debate or politics. It’s about children, and it’s about parents’ fear and desperation. If you can put yourself in a mother’s shoes, and spend a minute feeling her fear for her child, then there is no debate. There are only hands reaching out to help. There is only compassion and kindness. You can help by supporting groups that help families in real refugee crisis situations and make sure they are represented properly. You can volunteer in your own community and help families in need where you are. Anything that promotes a better world for our children is exactly what you can do.

Y

ou’ve heard of the phoenix rising from the ashes, right? And every time a door closes another opens? Good, so we’re all on the same page. These two aphorisms are alive and well at the old location of Three Hens Market at Venustiano Carranza 466. “Qulture” will open next month if the complete overhaul of the space is finished by then. What you will find is an artist’s hub with a gallery, a cooperative store, working studios for more than a dozen local painters, sculptors, workers in glass, leather, jewelry, and more. All the studio space is completely sold out thanks to Jim Lee and his exciting vision. Also coming up will be a bistro and a bar likely with live music and fun, unpredictable things like pop-up dinners, fashion shows, events, concerts, wine-pairing-parties, cooking classes and other goodies. Stay tuned for the soft opening date and more information on “Qulture.” Last week’s Tribune featured the Desperate Princesses on the cover. From their beginnings in April 2014 and 51 performances later, the tiaras are put next to the heavily glittered high heels for a long-deserved rest. Their final sold-out performance last weekend moved the ‘girls’ into heady territory: the largest gros-

sing show in Spanish in Vallarta’s history and second in ticket sales at Incanto only to “Well-Strung.” All but five or six performances in their four-year run were not completely sold out: an amazing track record. And, they won the People’s Choice award this year for Best Play at Lagos de Moreno and best costumes all built by Cesar Bravo who played Snow White. Another outstanding season closes with words from Perro Bravo Producer, Alain Perreault, “The audience was interactive to the point that I think this play has moved to cult status.” Amen. I did get to lunch at the Canuck Café last week with my good friend Bill Makley from Vallarta Cowork. Exciting times for him and his wife Marcia – off to Europe after a family reunion. Have a blast you two! Over Canuck comfort food, we mourned the loss of El Patio de mi Casa, Bill and Marcia’s favorite place in Vallarta. I have been watching the slow, quiet de-structuring of the bar – light fixtures coming down, hummingbird feeders too, and the sign is gone. The door has closed. At Teatro Vallarta, this coming Saturday, the last day of June at 7 pm, “Flores a Lorca” starring “La Boquita” features music and dance of Spain. Go - you will be delighted by the performance. Be kind always and love the one you’re with, From Here.

The easiest way to furnish your home

J

ust over ten years ago, my husband and I purchased our home in Riviera Nayarit. This was our dream come true since we had both always wanted to live by the ocean. We bought a pre-construction condominium unit. As we waited for our new home in Mexico to be completed, we started thinking about how to furnish it. As our possession day neared, we excitedly booked our airfare to come down for a week with the intent of getting our home all furnished and outfitted. Looking back and with the experience I now have, I realize how naïve I was. Luckily, there are more resources available today than there were ten years ago. One thing that is new that has made it easier and more cost-effective to decorate your home in Mexico is the emergence of furniture curators.

B

eachfront Bargain! This charming second floor unit features an enormous covered terrace overlooking the beach, bay, pool and gardens! The well maintained complex features 24 hr. security, tennis court, covered parking and two spectacular beachfront pools surrounded by tropical gardens. Maintenance fee includes all above plus electricity, water, gas, 2 maid services

per month and all common area maintenance and building insurance. The super location is quiet and peaceful, but an easy flat walk takes you to the bustling marina boardwalk within minutes. Sold fully furnished in a charming Mexican style, this home is a perfect option for full time residents, retirees, investors or rental income. boardwalkrealtypv.com/ properties/villas-pacifico-521/

According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, a curator is one who has the care and superintendence of something; especially: one in charge of a museum, zoo, or another place of exhibit. The use of the verb curate traces back to the 14th century. It is only recently, however, that this word was adopted by other areas such as music, design, digital media, fashion, and furniture. How do curated furniture groupings work? Although I like to think I have a good design eye, I enjoy seeing how others put together individual pieces of furniture and décor. I love seeing how they achieve a design style, whether it be beach house chic, contemporary Mexico, or mid-century modern. Everyone has unique tastes that can help you generate some great ideas for your home. New social media apps such as Pinterest are perfect for inspiration. Most of the furniture curators on these social media apps are a

combination of professionals and amateurs who love home design. I encourage our customers to use these types of apps to send us images of the look and feel they want in their home in Mexico. Based on their desired look, we source their furniture and décor to achieve it. Another new trend is the addition of furniture curators who work with manufacturers to develop their own lines. A great example is the Scott Brothers. Drew and Jonathan Scott are probably best known for their hit TV show, “Property Brothers” that has aired in over 150 countries and averages about 2 million viewers per year. They recently brought their design style to Coaster Furniture who have been distributors of furniture and decor in North America since 1972. Their design philosophy blends heirloom industrial and modern aesthetics with exciting materials, textures, finishes, and colors to create unique signature looks. Another curator whose name some may be familiar with is Donny Osmond. He and his wife Debbie have designed a collection of furniture and décor that offers a casual, comfortable point of view. Their living room and dining room groupings encourage family togetherness with its warm, welcoming style. These new stylish curators make it easy and affordable for us to furnish and decorate our homes in Mexico.

n this video series, we will examine the one of the most asked questions I hear on the Lesson Tee, “How can I hit my driver further?” Enjoy this eightpart series on adding distance! All the videos and tips can be found online at www.vallartatribune.com When it comes to distance output and the inefficiencies in your swing the finish can tell you a bunch about what happened before. Your finish is the final byproduct of how the body and the club interact thus whenever you see a full balanced

finish by a player you know that he or she has done all they can in the area of distance output. There is a great little test to show you if you have a solid finish or not. Hit a shot and hold your finish and you should be able to draw a straight line down from your nose, through your sternum, down to your forward knee, and into your ankle. If this line is curved one way or the other it tells the player that they have some inefficiency that they must address. You must always possess a full and balanced finish, if you do not, then you have a power leak and this is costing you distance!

Carol Smith, President has put her full support

behind all efforts to assist R.I.S.E. rjdalgliesh@gmail.com R.I.S.E. was founded in 2001 by Carmelite nuns to provide a secure, clean and loving environment for children who are either homeless or at risk in their own home. The children range from newborns to mid-teens and they receive an education, healthy meals, medical and dental services, psychological help and speech and hearing assistance, if needed. They have a salaried staff that assists with the care of the children and presently have the capacity for 50 children. The amount of time a child stays at R.I.S.E. depends on their parents’ situation. It is always our hope to rejoin the children with their family once their family complies with government regulations. R.I.S.E. depends on private donors for support, so your donation of money, goods, or services is critical for us being able to provide care for the children.

“Que no se culpe a nadie de mi muerte”

‘Lady Zen’, and July 4th at Incanto!

A A Litter Free La Cruz By David Albert djabroker@yahoo.com

T

he idea with the first generation of signs is not to force businesses to be personally responsible to clean their streets, but to provide a platform for many signs that would become a subliminal message to all who patronize the businesses. The areas targeted are restaurants from La Manzanilla, in the village, to Tacos Junior by the OXXO across from the La Puntilla strip mall. The second generation of signs are not specific to any business but are placed at strategic corners throughout town. These signs will be placed on Coral from the secundaria by Cetmar to the

primaria. This street has the most foot traffic of children, who hopefully will see trash and put it in its place, “Ponga la Basura en su Lugar!” Other streets to focus on are Marlin, Delfin, Atun and Albatross. These are heavily pedestrian trafficked, and would help with north and south traffic from the highway to the Marina. Likewise, signs will be placed strategically on the mountain-side lateral. As the restaurant association has given permission for their logo placement on the signs, we hope the marina will also be involved. See the latest businesses who have pledged to support a Litter Free La Cruz. Contact David if you’d like to be involved.

ward-winning director Ramiro Daniel (‘Princessas Desesperadas’) returns to Incanto with his stage production of ‘Que no se culpe a nadie de mi muerte’ (‘Let no one be blamed for my death’) starting June 30 - July 28 at 8:30pm. Written by Humberto Robles and starring actor César Trujillo (as Aurora from Princesas Desesperadas), it is the tragic/ comedic monologue, presented in Spanish, about a woman waiting for a phone call to stave off her pending suicide. Will a phone call finally convince her to give up the idea of taking her own life? Ramiro Daniel has an artistic past that spans more than 15 years, with beginnings in the municipal theatre group of Puerto Vallarta. He has directed plays for Arkos University, Perro Bravo Productions and for his own theatre company, Boa Viagem. Daniel has directed thirteen plays including ‘Princesas Desesperadas’, that recently won awards for Audience Favorite and Costume Design. Others include, ‘La Muerte Chiquita’, ‘Un Hombre Ajeno’, and ‘El Grito’.

Dreaming Together Concert

D

reaming Together is a musical journey by the more than 100 voices of the Coro Gay Ciudad de México, directed by Horacio Mendoza, the New York City Gay Men’s Chorus, directed by Charles Beale and the Puerto Vallarta Gay Men’s Chorus, directed by Alfonso López. This concert, under the stage direction of Fernando Gómez Pintel, celebrates pride and diversity and unites two nations with the power of music. This union was celebrated for the first time in 2017 with the two choruses from New York City and Mexico City. The men from

Mexico sang with the chorus from the United States in three sold-out concerts at the Skirball Center for Performing Arts in New York City. A year later, the two choirs meet again on July 6 and 7 in Mexico City at the Teatro de la Ciudad Esperanza Iris as part of its 100-year celebration and in conjunction with pride month. Then on Sunday, July 8, the Gay Men’s Choir of Puerto Vallarta joins the other two choirs for this concert at Teatro Vallarta. Prepare yourselves for energetic and lively choral renditions of ABBA, Stephen Schwartz, Lady GaGa, RuPaul, Mexican traditional music

and Broadway hits, all in tenor, baritone and bass vocal parts. Dreaming Together advocates diversity and celebrates differences in a realistic tone. According to one of the founders of the Coro Gay Ciudad de México, Oscar Urtusástegui, this concert “tries to shout to the world that despite inequality we are a fraternity that defines us as a society and makes us break through differences”.

“Constitucion” By John Warren

A

s you wander around the “old Town” (Col. Emiliano Zapata), sooner or later your path will cross or follow the street known as “Constitucion”. By walking a few steps south of the river you’ll find Tortillaria Gloria, which sells half a kilo of steaming hot tortillas for only eight and a half pesos and a few steps further on is a fishmonger that has the best shrimps and fish in town and supplies many of the restaurants in this area. On the corner of Constitucion and Lazaro Cardenas is a great place for a brew and a pizza, the Los Muertos Brewing Company and in the block between Carranza and Badillo are the Banderas Bay Trading Company, a jumbled emporium of every conceivable piece of furniture and decoration, and the art gallery of Kathleen Carillo, one of my favourite local, professional artists. South of Basilio Badillo, Calle Constitucion loses some of its charm. Some cities name streets after its nation’s most important document and Puerto Vallarta is one of them. I doubt if there are any streets in Canada called “Charter of Rights and Freedoms Boulevard” but, on the other hand, one of the most important streets in the USA is Washington D.C.’s Constitution Avenue. Different strokes for different folks! To someone even mildly interested in the origin of PV’s “Constitucion” there is a good story attached to it. There have been three Constitutions adopted by the Mexican people in the last two hundred years. The first one, in 1824, was a result of the Mexican War of Independence in which Spain’s control of the country was unceremoniously cut and the victorious Mexican patriots decided to install one of their leaders, Agustin Iturbide, as Emperor and did so on 19th May 1822. That didn’t work as well as they had hoped and he abdicated, ten months later, on 19th March 1823 and fled to Europe. The first constitution was proclaimed on 4th October and Mexico became a republic, taking the name of United Mexican States, establishing Catholicism as the official and unique religion and providing equal citizenship rights to all to all races. It was replaced by a new constitution in 1857. The second constitution of Mexico of 1857 was very liberal in the world of the mid-nineteenth century and was bitterly opposed by conservatives and the Catholic Church. Among its provisions it established individual rights such as the

freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, freedom of the press and of assembly, and the right to bear arms. The church was ticked off because of the provisions to provide education that was free of dogma and the removal of many of the church’s institutional privileges. This document was in effect for sixty years, until 1917. The current “Political Constitution of the United Mexican States” is one of the results of the Mexican Revolution that lasted from 1910 to 1920 and was approved by the Constitutional Congress on 5th February 1917; a hundred and one years ago. It was this document that has caused ex-pats to provide Mexican banks and attorneys with so much work and revenue because Article 27 states “Under no circumstances may foreigners acquire direct ownership of lands or waters within a zone of one hundred kilometers along the frontiers and of fifty kilometers along the shores of the country.” Some of the more important provisions are Article 3 which established the basis for a free, mandatory, and secular education, Article 27, which laid the foundation for land reform and Article 123, which was designed to empower the labour sector. In Europe, the Mexican constitution of 1917 served as a model for the the Russian Constitution of 1918 and the Weimar Constitution of 1919 in Germany. Since 1917 there have been a number of amendments to the constitution including one in 2005 in which the use of capital punishment was banned throughout Mexico and an amendment to Article 4 was passed in 2011 stating that “Every person has the right to adequate food to maintain his or her wellbeing and physical, emotional and intellectual development. The State must guarantee this right.” There are many statements and policies in the Mexican Constitution that govern life in Mexico and it is a very important document. It’s too bad that the street here is so unimpressive. Constitution Day (Día de la Constitución) is one of Mexico’s annual Fiestas Patrias (public holidays), commemorating the enactment of the Constitution on 5 February 1917.

L

ove begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home.” Mother Theresa. Let me introduce you to people who make a difference to children and their families in our tiny pueblo of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle. Fiona Clark teaches at the primary school. Children inspire Fiona; her mission is to open their eyes to a bigger (and hopefully better) world, “They can shape their own future!” She especially

loves teaching the five to nine year old age group. Bringing the world of nature, art and culture into the mundane subjects inspires Fiona; children want to learn! Carmen Tapia is an educator, volunteering originally at the primary school and now at the Kids Club in La Cruz; her mission is to teach children RESPECT for themselves first, to others, and to the environment. “Children are the future citizens of this world. They need to be prepared to take better care of themselves and our planet as we have neglected both. “The ‘greatest feeling’ is “When children are so empowered by

Our children are our future and one of the basic responsibilities is to care for them in the best and most compassionate manner possible. Nelson Mandela their own improvements that they carry themselves in a very different way, very sure of themselves; their character is transformed. I know in my heart that I’ve positively impacted their life forever.” One child wrote Carmen a letter; “I come to school every day because you are here” She’s kept that! Carmen says; “Children

should not have to pay for adult mistakes. They are innocent.” Jason Foster Barnes works with children with the mission that they feed on new experiences with no inhibitions or prejudices; they are the future generation on this planet. He says, “What is sown today is tomorrow’s harvest.” One of Jason’s passions

is working with children to learn rugby. He says “Five to thirteen are the best ages to start training kids to play rugby.’ He’s inspired by the smiles on kids’ faces when they realize that everything can be achieved. There’s a little girl in town who participated at a past summer camp and to this day when she sees me in the street she has a big smile on her face and yells RUGBY as a way of saying hello to me”. Mayra Franco is Coordinator at the Summer Camp. This year her daughter, Fiona, will be teaching art and recycling. Myra has fun with the children believing there’s lots to learn from them; the way they solve problems and their easy way, always smiling and having fun with simple things. Mayra and her team work with children three to twelve years old. Her ‘greatest feeling’ working with children was when some children saluted her saying “Hola maestra”. Barb Sihota a teacher in Richmond BC inspired her students to create heart artwork which she brought to La Cruz, hung on the classroom wall and then taught the kids here to create similar artwork for her to take back for the Richmond children. It was a LOVE and peace exchange. Barb’s inspired to make a difference spreading joy. One of my favorite things was hearing a twelve-year-old girl say, “I love all the people in this class. I love them all in different ways, but I love them all! Joe Scopazzo, a former soccer/futbol coach in Canada has started a futboI club for the primary school with 100 kids signed up! He enjoys spending time with children; watching them have fun and teaching them an activity is very rewarding. All kids young and old love to kick a ball around.

SPCA of Puerto Vallarta By Janice Gonzalez

Y

es, it is so tough sometimes being a volunteer!!! But we do it all for love of the sweethearts we rescue. I personally had a very tough go of it recently (she says tongue in cheek). I had the wonderful privilege of taking seven of our most gorgeous puppies to their forever families in Seattle. The hardest part, of course, was giving them away! All the new families were so happy to greet us and pick up their new babies at the Seattle airport late last Tuesday evening. Please spread the word to friends that this is the easiest way you can help us whenever you visit Puerto Vallarta from

the Washington (USA) area or British Columbia (Canada) or Alberta (Canada). We take care of everything and just need our rescues to be accompanied by a ticketed human. A special shout out to the Alaska crew as well as the ground crew in Santa Ana, CA where we cleared Customs before going on to Seattle. Alaska radioed ahead so someone was in baggage claim to assist me with all the crates (five!!). Everyone from the “porter” to Customs to TSA were incredibly kind and helpful. Best experience I have had yet transporting our rescues. Thanks to you all! Remember…if you can be an angel on your next return please contact us at

spcapv@gmail.com. We opened our sanctuary in January of 2012 on the outskirts of Puerto Vallarta. We are a no-kill shelter and can house up to 130 animals at once. We rescue and find permanent homes for over 250 animals each year. We offer one tour per week during the summer months, either Tuesday or Thursday, and special

arrangements are necessary. Contact us at spcapv@ gmail.com. To see our animals available for adoption, visit our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/spcapv. There are photos as well as individual albums of our rescues which include a bit of their background. Please be aware that our adoption fee within Mexico is $2,000 pesos. Contact us at spcapv@ gmail.com to obtain an adoption application.
