Mayan Hotel plans for the East Cape are put on hold
Thomas Alley submitted the following August 26th letter that he received from Daniel J. Melcher, Snell Real Estate, San Jose del Cabo: "You might have heard but in case you have not, the Mayan Palace backed off their proposed $850,000,000 project on the East Cape until the present Baja Sur government is out of office. At least that's the reason they claim in media. It seems somewhat valid as the present government seems to be the least ept of all the inept in recent memory. I'm sure you can find something regarding it online. The governor here, Narcisco Agundez, will be out of office in May of 2011. It's our opinion that this media coverage was simply a tactic of the Mayan to apply pressure on the powers that be in Mexico City . Of course from that perspective we see the Mayan's announcement as a positive factor." Lianne and Beau Bryan celebrate the birth of their first born May 23rd
On Friday, May 23 at 5:55 am Clinton Rodney Bryan was born to parents Lianne and Beau Bryan, at Lizzy and Davidīs in San Jose del Cabo. We had a very successful water birth, attended by our midwife Kristen Graser, good friend Kamala, Lianneīs mom Sherry, and of course Beau. Clint was seven pounds,six ounces, and twenty-one inches long. We are all very healthy and happy, thrilled actually. Our sincere thanks to all of you who have encouraged us, wished us well, attended our babyshower, and helped us achieve the birth of our dreams. Please check out the photo taken this morning at 4 days old. Love to all, Lianne & Beau Lost Dogs of Zacatitos featured in 'People and Lifestyles'

The East Cape Recycling Center - serving not only Los Zacatitos but other nearby coastal communities - needs your support in the form of donations going towards recycling costs, transportation, and covering transport of recycled materials and plastics to La Paz. A culture of recycling takes time and Los Zacatitos promises to be one of the new examples of community efforts working in the East Cape. Your on-site Saturday donations will make all the difference and assure the continuation of this valuable service! Until alternatives are found, Terri Evenson and Gene Crain
are still the primary resources for recycling glass. Their
volunteer effort and out of pocket expenses have resulted in a steady
stream of clear & amber glass sent to the Los Cabos 'Glass
Factory'. Note: if you deposit glass (or plastics), please
wash out the containers before dropping them off!  Household (unsorted) garbage pick-up ($5 per large
bag) is now available on Wednesdays - after 2:30 p.m..
We encourage you to sign up if you have not already done so. This
service can only be viable for the operators if enough people sign
up. Contact Johnny Ortega at e-mail JohnnyOrtega@hotmail.com

"This is a photo of our mural that the children ages 4 to 6
at the La Playita kinder painted to PROMOTE AWARENESS TO PROTECT
OUR ENVIRONMENT. This painting is one of 2 thus far where we are working
with the children to educate and introduce recycling. The words read
LOS NINOS CON CORAJE, SOMOS EL FUTURO, THE COURAGEOUS CHILDREN, WE
ARE THE FUTURE. "We have a serious problem with the San Jose del Cabo landfill
burning sending toxic smoke into the air near our home. It is continually
being updated as our grassroot movement evolves. Our goal is to introduce
recycling/ sustainable living to the Los Cabos area, thereby sending
less waste to the landfill." Terri Evenson Crain (Mural

Ecological Urgencies: Meeting between residents and Mayor Rene Nunez Cosio held on Tuesday May 6th
Click here for Gene Crain's account of the kiosk display and more photos of meeting and newspaper articles. The
meeting with Mayor Nunez Cosio was remarkably frank and wide
ranging and covered a variety of ecological and recycling concerns.
The urgency of having a meeting had been underscored by the recent
April 25th dump burn and toxic smog event. Issues of immediate and
long-term consequence were presented by a number of speakers. Gabriel
Olvera of the Ecological Department was there, as well as Real
Estate agents - brokers Steve Deutch and Jim Hart, both
of whom have long standing interests and relationships with Los Zacatitos
and the East Cape. Educators from the kinder at La Playita attended
as well as representatives of a number of organizations. Approximately
20 people were joined by 5 mayoral officers and 5 media reporters
for this one hour meeting. Municipal Dump burns again spewing toxic smog at Los Zacatitos April 24-25th
