Ocean Safety - The USP group (Union para la Seguridad en las Playas)
wants to thanks the Delegado that will make and instal (From La Pastora to Los Cerritos) the 14 beach signs we designed . Also thank you very much to lifeguard Bob and Jaime Dobies for other 6 signs they create and donate. Cris Gafford, Pam Alani and Richard Rutowski donated the money to buy the metal posts, painting and cement. We will start by installing 2 signs this Sunday at 5:00 P.M. at La Cachora and La Poza. Next week we will put the other 4 at Punta Lobos, Las Palmas and Los Cerritos. Please come to help if you like!
Also we want to thank Sergio Jauregui and Doctora Oliva for the free first aid lesson they gave last week. Many surfers where there. It was really helpful. After putting signs at all the beaches and a throw-ring in Cerritos, the next step is having lifeguards at Cerritos. It seems that Cerritos Beach Club will hire lifeguards next month. That is great. Anyway, we are planning to have a lifeguard training for local people in nNvember or December this year with lifeguards instructors from Imperial Beach, California. The idea is that the Cerritos Beach Club could hire them in the near future and maybe we also find a way to put some lifeguards in other beaches.
If you want to know more or want to help, please come to our next meeting Tuesday 18th at 5 PM at La Esquina, or contact - Paula Angeloni, ballenatito [-at-] yahoo.com.mx, 044-612 1610232, Todos Santos
House Burglary in Cerritos - Well, after 10 years, our home (Rancho El Gran Escape) was added to the many around us as another victim to the ongoing thievery problem. Sunday the 9th, at 2 pm, we were at the beach in front of our house for no more than 30 minutes. As a rainstorm rolled in we returned home quickly. However, not quick enough. Our place had been hit that fast. Got all of our cash, two men's watches; one a gold Rolex presidential with diamond bezel, other a Tommy Bahama rose gold palms with leather band, all of wife [-at-] s jewelry,various necklaces, earrings, rings, watches, 2 digital cameras, Canon and Nikkon, Honda gas generator 2000, various tools. Will pay $1000.00 to anyone leading to return of Rolex watch, no questions asked. Local police did question a known thief from Pescadero, but claim he had items from another robbery, not ours! Any info contact Jordon or Judith at 6121495066. Thanks!!! - Jordon Cameron, two40jordi [-at-] hotmail.com, 6121495066, Todos Santos

Looking For Love - I am a gorgeous young female who has been looking for love in all the wrong places but I have learned the error of my ways. My foster mother has made sure I won't be fooling around any more. I have sown my wild oats and am ready to settle down with a kind, loving family who will truly appreciate me. I am a pretty big girl, maybe 40 pounds but I don't overeat. I am soooo gentle and willing to put up with all kinds of combing, brushing and probing. The funny thing is that I actually look fierce and brave and people walking by are afraid to come into the yard where I am staying. My foster mother seems to think that is a good thing. I will soon be tested for those unpleasant diseases that some of us homeless folk get, and I am certain I will have a clean bill of health. Oh - and I also get along with other dogs - which was very surprising in a good way to my foster family. Please call or email if you would like to meet me. - Maryann, maryann [-at-] bajawesternonion.com, 612-159-2309
