THIS WEEKEND…..

JANUARY 2019

DISCUSSIONS – ANSWERS – ANNOUNCEMENTS

a.  This afternoon found a key in my ignition of my CanAm quad.  Hadn’t used the quad in three days. Obviously someone jumped over our gate/fence to see if they could steal it before trying to get through our automatic gate. We have a coded ignition so it wasn’t stolen. Live on the road near the communication tower in Agua de la Costa. Keep a watchful eye. This never happened in 10 years.

b.  ATTN: there was a serious kiting accident. You could be next.  If you need blood, your friends must provide it.   Please register with me to be a donor in case of emergency.   kay.mundt@gmail.com

c.  DISCUSSION – paying taxes:  (1)  Your last issue stated:  “A recent post in BPE mentioned that the “Inapam” discount for property taxes is not allowed in La Ribera. This is the actual case —     The Inapam discount can only be used when the three early filing discounts expire. That is end of March.”  I’m in San Jose and paid my taxes yesterday. I received the 20% for payment in January and 30% more for the Inapam discount.  Why would the payment of taxes be any different in La Ribera?
(2)  Wednesday I paid property taxes in La Ribera and successfully received the 50% Inapam discount.  Bring your original card plus 2 copies front and back.  There were no questions or problems whatsoever.

DISCUSSIONS – ANSWERS – ANNOUNCEMENTS

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

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

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

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

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

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

QUESTIONS

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

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

Historian Iris Engstrand presents newly released book highlighting life of early Baja California explorer and astronomer, Joaquín Velázquez de León

El Triunfo, Baja California Sur, Mexico:   On Saturday, January 12, 2019 at 1:00pm join University of San Diego Emeritus Professor, Iris Engstrand who will read from her recently published, second edition book, Joaquín Velázquez de León: Royal Officer in Baja California, 1768-1770.   Professor Engstrand’s reading will be held in the tea room of the Museo Ruta de Plata located on Calle Municipal, El Triunfo, BCS.   Copies of the Professor Engstrand’s book will be on sale at the museum gift store and she will be available after her talk for a book signing.

Originally published in 1976, Engstrand’s second edition book published by Editorial Museo Ruta de Plata brings to life the unique colonial era, expeditionary efforts of Velázquez de León, an officer who served the Spanish Crown in Baja California’s Cape Region as well as his historic role in documenting the 1769 Transit of Venus from peninsula’s first colonial settlement at Real de Santa Ana.    Engstrand’s book also highlights Velázquez de León’s testy relationship with Manuel de Ocio, Baja California’s first entrepreneur.

According to Engstrand, “the new edition of Joaquín Velázquez de León: Royal Officer in Baja California–1768-1770  brings together an analysis of the 1769 Transit of Venus with a recreation of the Transit in 2012. New illustrations in an affordable publication give the reader an unparalleled opportunity to understand the accomplishments of Spain in science and mining in Baja California during the late eighteenth century.”

About Professor Iris Engstrand:
Iris Wilson Engstrand is a Professor of History Emerita at the University of San Diego who received her B.A, M.A and Ph.D. in history from the University of Southern California.   Engstrand has written a numerous books and articles focusing on some of the earliest explorations of Baja California.  Dr. Engstrand’s academic honors include USD’s distinguished University Professorship; the Davies Award for Faculty Achievement; and fellowships from the Fulbright Commission, American Philosophical Society and the Huntington Library.

About the Museo Ruta de Plata:
Located in the historic mining town of El Triunfo, Baja California Sur, México, the mission of the Museo Ruta de Plata is to bring the history of La Paz’s Ruta de Plata region to life through exhibits and expanded community development promoting mining heritage tourism.  The Museo Ruta de Plata is open daily except Tuesdays from 10am to 5pm.  Admission to the museum is 75 pesos for BCS residents, 100 pesos for non-residents and 60 pesos for seniors.
Editorial Museo Ruta de Plata is a literary project of the museum that aims to increase public awareness of Spanish and English literature highlighting the mining heritage of Baja California Sur from 1700 to 1930 with an emphasis on the historic mining districts of the Municipality of La Paz.

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