  1. the building on the Ajijic pier brought much angst to the local residents. The rich man's answer was that the building was put together with screws and not nales so therefore NOT a permanent structure. It is good to be rich and have rich friends. The municipality has shown fear of the voters by not issuing business licenses at that location, lately.
  2. All you have to do is view Google Maps of the lake shoreline. Where there are rectangular outcroppings into the shoreline, it is painfully obvious how much natural shoreline has been stolen. 90 degree angles do not exist in nature only man made..
  3. I don't know, but, like everything else it is a lie that tRump had anything to do with Project Warp Speed. It is surprising that he could remember the 3 work phrase. I hope this isn't too political just stating the facts as I see them to a prior post.
  4. Of course I am passing this along to Hector and the gov. The White House is working on a plan to start offering Covid-19 vaccine boosters to some Americans as early as October. With a stockpile of at least 100 million doses at the ready, the first boosters are likely to go to nursing home residents and health care workers, followed by other older people. Officials envision giving people a third dose of the same vaccine that they originally received. Scientists are still debating whether the extra shots are needed, but administration officials said they could not afford to wait to figure out the logistics of providing boosters to millions of people. This week, the F.D.A. authorized third doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for certain people with weakened immune systems and the C.D.C. recommended them.
  5. DIF Ajijic is starting a food program for the elderly. handicapped, poor... This article is from Laguna Seminario Newspaper, one of our best, Sofía Medeles (Ajijic, Jal.) - Members of the Little Chapel by the Lake Presbyterian Church –located in Riberas del Pilar-, in conjunction with the San Antonio SA Children's Association, invite people to collaborate in the preparation and distribution of food, as part of the activities of the new community dining room in DIF Ajijic. The proposal is for students who are in service, as well as for people who like to join in supporting. The preparation of the food is done in Little Chapel by the Lake –which covers the three days of the dining room, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday- and the distribution is in Ajijic, as the starting point of the delegation's DIF. For more information, or to join the volunteer service, call 33 1744 5812.
  6. reports are the young people are lining up for the shots.
  7. The state coordinator had no answer. He has to consult the Servants of the Nation.
  8. Chapala EXPAT Liaison · Recently, I have been feeling a tension in the community regarding Covid immunity for seniors. Dad Harry gave me the study on expiration/ decline of vaccine effectiveness. Today, 3rd of August, I went to the Director of the municipal clinic Dr. Enrique Gutiérrez and presented him with the study. Dr Gutiérrez called the state coordinator in Guadalajara and asked if he was aware of the Sinovac which was used for the 60+ and apparently now with the 18 – 29 has an effective life of 6 months. Would the state be doing anything to remedy this situation? The state coordinator shared Dr Gutiérrez’s frustration with the Servants of the Nation not giving them any advance notice. Often, less than 24 hours’ notice is received by municipalities of vaccinations being given. To know anything about several months ahead of time is probably impossible, but, they would try. In another vein the Chapala Municipal Clinic is doing covid tests and issuing official documents for those who need antigen to fly. The cost is $900p. The clinic is located in the area behind Sorianas.
  9. JOSUE JOEL PASTOR GUZMAN from Ajijic Jal (Photo Person with Disability) Needs food support and is the tutor of MAYRA SABINA PASTOR GUZMAN who studies High School in Ajijic and who needs a Scholarship and a Lap Top or computer to continue with her On Line Studies. She was born on February 19, 2008. She will enter the 1st year of secondary school in the school year that begins next month. If you can help either, please PM me.
  10. thanks, parking was always an issue when trying to patronize them!
  11. I have been told people prefer to work here because the pay is HIGHER than in Guadalajara.
  12. they act like they are the second coming. My bad!
  13. Hector was aware of the problems people were experiencing. But, these are the Saviors of the Nation and NO ONE has authority over them, sadly.
  14. The Jocotepec numbers must be the Community hospital on the Carretera. There are three "Hospitals in the Chapala municipality, but, they are all private.
  15. I have already talked to Hector and asked him to go to the Mayor and Dr. Ibarra, Director of Municipal Clinic about us seniors who have gotten the Sinovac and whose immunity will be running out in September+/-. We are going to need a booster! I will speak to him today about the denials. For your godson, I would make up a lease in Spanish that he can show his residency with you. If Hector has any Ideas I'll report back!
  16. Chapala EXPAT Liaison Published by Hector España Ramos · 33m · Comment as Chapala EXPAT Liaison Yesterday we had the Bombero drone dedication. My heart is full with pride with what our community has accomplished! As my dad Harry, who calls himself Beggar in Chief says, with all the new tourists coming to our lake and mountains, Chapala is not only the biggest lake in Mexico, but, the safest! Mayor Moy and Chief Eduardo thanked the community for stepping up and Jim Miller for volunteering to train our operators. Jim is licensed by the US FAA to be a drone pilot. No such licensing exists in Mexico. Chapala is now the only Mexican municipality besides Guadalajara and Puebla to protect its' people with the kind of asset. The drone has a camera that can monitor operations from the station and allow the Bomberos to evaluate their performance. It has an infrared camera that can find people through clouds and smoke. The drone has a flood light and loud speaker. A supplementary package has provided a smart computer controller, extra propellers, extra batteries, a back pack to transport the shock proof case into the bush, and a 3 station charger. The drone can only be used by the Bomberos for civil protection. At a future date, press and donors will be invited to a simulated lake rescue using the drone. All press outlets will likely be having more detailed related reporting this coming week! We note that many of the donors were repeat donors from our other projects. We love you and thank you for having confidence in us to accomplish what we set out to do. Your friend Hector España Ramos!
