News and Events, Questions and Answers

Good News From Escuela Pacifica! - Escuela Pacifica (EP) is proud to announce that they have received their accreditation! The process was challenging, but well worth it. Today EP has 16 students with a variety of language abilities from 2nd to 6th grade, who are happy and engaged in their excellent learning environment. This year Jaqueline Pavia-Espinosa brought her 29 years of sound and thoughtful teaching experience to EP and is in charge of the morning curriculum, which is taught in Spanish. Serena Saltzman, experienced in child education and a degreed linguist, continues to be in charge of the afternoon curriculum taught in English. The school has added music and physical education, both taught by degreed educators, and has continued its art program with a new instructor.

EP understands education goals, assessment and the unique needs of each student. The language environment of EP promotes and prepares students at an early age to assimilate into our culture while at the same time offers excellence in education. The EP children are learning and thriving, which make EP parents happy! Congratulations to the parents, volunteers and educators who have made this wonderful program possible! Please celebrate with us at our Holiday Party/Open House from 4-7pm on Fri., Dec. 17th. - Escuela Pacifica, info [ -at- ] escuelapacifica.org, 612-157-6080

Get Out Your Pen And Paper - because next Sunday, the nineteenth, is the Open Reading for Dec. We are looking forward to our veteran and new readers; original work under five minutes. Galleria Todos Santos, 4 PM. - Scotty Mclemore, scottybcs [ -at- ] hotmail.com, 612 10 34504

Short-term Internet - Any ideas on getting short term internet service while staying in Pescadero? I have friends that have the Telcel service with the little plug-in thing, but I only need 2-3 months of the service. Thanks. - Brad Geisler, bradandsoniag [ -at- ] gmail.com

Jeep Dealership? - I need to have my Jeep serviced. Anyone know if there is a Jeep dealership in Cabo or San Jose? Thank you! - , KeithASheldon [ -at- ] cox.net, 612 143 7392

Tips And Taxes - In your last issue there was a note about restaurant taxes and tips. I just spent Thanksgiving at our home in Todos Santos and found the restaurant tips and taxes bewildering. I was told that all restaurants need to have their prices in pesos and they must include the IVA tax. Nevertheless I was very disturbed when our party of six was charged an additional 29% in tax and tip at a particular restaurant. This was especially annoying because the management allowed us to be harassed by a cat that kept wanting to sit on my lap and lay on my feet.

Some restaurants did have the tax included in their price, others added it on and only the one I mention above mandated that we pay an 18% tip. Needless to say I will not be returning. It would be helpful if everyone could follow the same system. it is disturbing to think you have spent $200 dollars only to find that you have an additional $100 dollars added on. What started out as an affordable meal turned into an unfortunate and unwelcome surprise that left a bad taste in our mouth. Nevertheless I don't want to complain too much because am so glad that Todos Santos is blessed with so many exceptional restaurants. - Bitsy Thomas, bitsy.thomas [ -at- ] gmail.com

Wanted - Kiln - Looking for a Kiln. In my regular life I make wall sculptures in fused glass and metal. However, coming to La Paz for six months, I wasn’t able to bring my kiln or my glass supplies. However, I’ve just been offered a grand sounding supply of glass by someone who’s moving on from this art form. So, I’m looking for a kiln to borrow or rent for the remaining four months of my visit here. A glass kiln (with the heating element in the top) would be ideal, but I can work with a ceramic kiln as well.

Lost Dog Found Near El Sol 2 - I recently found a lost dog from the Las Tunas area. He obviously has an owner/owners as he has been neutered and seems well fed. No collar but very friendly. I will e-mail you photos if you contact me. He is young but full grown, brown and white with big ears, a long tail and short legs. He probably is about one foot tall from his shoulders to the floor. A classic Mexican mutt! Very sweet dog. If he is yours please call or e-mail. Thank you, David.

Kitty Needs A Home Of Its Own - My name is Ashley and my foster parents picked me up off the highway in Buena Vista last March after I was hit by a car. After a trip to their Vet we learned that I'm about 5 years old and that my hip was broken in 4 places. I recovered at their house in Pescadero where they have 3 inside cats that aren't happy to share their space with me. I am very mellow and would love a place of my own with a family that doesn't have any other pets. I have luxurious black fur and gold eyes. My foster parents will be happy to send you a photo upon request. Please make my holiday wishes come true. I promise to become your best friend! - Roxanne Rosenblatt, caboroxy [ -at- ] yahoo.com, 612-130-3162, Pescadero
