1 GRINGO North VOL. 2 ED. 15 SEPTEMBER 21 TH, 2015 NO BAD NEWS Priceless.com Dump Dogs Get A Still Worse Day The lady doggies will be greatful, the men dogs, not so much There s a sad place up the hill on the other side of the highway, not too far from the Baja Animal Sanctuary. It is a common place for people to dump unwanted dogs, and since it is near the city dump, maybe people think that s the appropriate place to dump dogs? The BY OPHELIA PAYNE city dump? I have yet to find anyone willing to cop to this dastardly act of abandonment, but it is a fact of life. Somebody s doing it. The social structure of the dog community is defined by who is accepted by the pack of previously dumped dogs and who is not. The dogs that are not accepted have no place to g o b u t down the hill to the Baja Animal Sanctuary. Jaime Victorio lives and works at the shelter and is director of operations, The Sanctuary, or BAS as it referred to, was founded by Sunny Benedict way back in 1997 and now has 400 barking, tail wagging residents. They even have some cats. The BAS tries to turn no one away. BAS is supported by donations with long standing funding from people in the community as well as adoption events in San Diego. Their need is great. Robin Gunther is the driving force behind spay and neuter in Baja and holds monthly free and low cost sterilization clinics, greatly reducing the number of strays in our community. She was looking for a place to hold her September spay and neuter, so she called Jaime asking for the use of BAS and heard an earful from Jaime about the long line of dogs walking towards him from the dump. BAS was full but Jamie began taking them anyway to ease the pain of these poor dogs. BAS only adopts out spay and neutered animals so their facility was offered to Robin for her sterylization clinic. Together these two people put together the September program of spay and neuter of Baja dump dogs. The dump is overrun with dogs reproducing more like CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 The Lowdown On SENTRI Passes It s not easy to get, and they are quick to yank it away It was a Monday afternoon and the border lanes were long, but the SENTRI lane looked like it would be a breeze. It s my first time driving in the SENTRI lane, and I confidently rolled up to the booth. I handed my Global Entry (GE) card (A Trusted Travelers program which includes SENTRI) to the Customs Border Protection (CBP) officer, and my buddy handed BY NICOLE MAC INTYRE over his passport. Do you have a Global or SENTRI card, sir? the CBP officer asked my buddy. No, he replied. Screetch to a stop. Nearly an hour passed while we cooled our heels, until finally a border officer approached to explain, You re in violation of SENTRI program rules because the passenger in your vehicle does CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 We might have to resort to crossing like this if Sentri doesn t lighten up a little

2 2.COM September 21 th, 2015 Forbes visits Baja. The Mexican edition of Forbes magazine visited our cool state for four days, recently, digging up stories for the magazine. The tourism office took them around the state to see the main attractions we have to offer, like downtown Tijuana, the wine valley of Ensenada, a hot air balloon ride, and several art galleries and restaurants. Geeze! They treat these people like they re royalty and you would think they would throw a bone to this poor writer, but no! We are dust on their shoes. We don t even get so much as a bus ride, much less a balloon ride. In other tourist news Our chief of tourism, Oscar Escobedo, announced that Baja has Subscribe!! or we ll throw the kitty under the bus Go to page 4 Que Pasa in Baja?

And did Forbes bring us any of those people? No! And did the GG keep all those people informed and entertained? You bet we did! Santiago and I are pretty tired of being chopped liver around here. Binational Police Intelligence. Baja Public Security Chief Daniel de la Rosa met with the directors of the LA CLEAR (Los Angeles Regional Criminal Information Clearinghouse) in order to establish intelligence systems to combat crime on both sides of the border. De La Rosa said Baja has been cooperating extensively with U.S. authorities in the matter of bad Gringos and that 925 foreign criminals, who were trying to hide in Baja, have been captured since Erick Bundle, director of LA CLEAR, and De La Rosa agreed to work together in order to bring down organized crime of all kinds, especially drug cartels and groups dedicated to gun and people trafficking. FYI Foreigners, (that s you, Bunky,) wanted in the United States and found and detained here, go right back to the States on the next plane or car, with no court appearance and no extradition hearing. It s all up to local authorities if they want to get rid of them, and they always do. They only allow Mexicans to fight extradition. Mexico doesn t want your garbage. Ensenada wins.

Besides that, brewers from Baja took home a total of 16 medals. Jose Estrada, head of the Baja brewers association, said this only confirms that Baja is producing quality beer. The Cerveza Mexico event was held at the World Trade Center of Mexico City, with around 150 participants from professional and amateur breweries. All the beers are graded by international judges certified by the Beer Judge Certification Program. How do you apply for that job? We wouldn t mind studying for that certicication. But they probably don t take us chopped liver for students. More tourism police. Ensenada just reinforced their tourism police with three new cops added. The local police chief said that in response to the growing number of tourists visiting Ensenada, more cops were needed. We have heard a lot of complaints from business owners downtown regarding their concern about the number of people approaching nice tourist families pushing drugs, our top cop said. Another common complaint is the pushy retail store clerks who come out on the street and accost passers by, imploring them to come in. the problem is it happens every 10 feet, and these guys won t take no for an answer. By the time a tourist is half way down a block they re sick of it, and get rude, causing the clueless, (are they really?) store hustlers to get rude right back. My feeling is they know they re being dicks, they just do it to amuse themselves. Same thing happens in Lobster Town. It s not good for tourism and nobody seems to care. San Quintin wants a Guinness.

3 September 21 th, 2015.COM 3 Mariachis And Folk Dancers To Benefit Kids This is one of the more interesting charity benefits. These performers are at the top of their game World class mariachis and famous folk dancing troupes will perform for us in support of the Boys and Girls Club of Rosarito in early October. This great tradition was started only five years ago and it has been expanding every since. It now is able to attract the best performers in the finest traditions of Mexican culture. The Rosarito Boys & Girls Club serves children 6 to 16 of working parents, who are at risk of falling into anti-social conduct for lack of adult supervision, by establishing an after school care center BY TOM EMANUEL The festival this year will start with workshops teaching kids ten years old and up the fundamentals and the niceties of mariachi music and of folk dances. Supporters have already donated more than 100 musical instruments to the The Boys and Girls Club, including everything from guitars, to violins, to tambourines and even a harp. The club also boasts a piano on which children can bang out their favorite tunes. Over 200 kids are expected to attend these workshops and the goal is to have an instructor for each class of 15 kids. Rosy Torres and the staff of The Boys and Girls Club are just glowing with excitement as they prepare to host the stars of their culture. The Mariachi Divas, a well known troupe from L.A., and the winners of two Grammies, are coming again this year. Also, the Mariachi Nuevo Tecalitlan from Jalisco who are practically worshipped throughout Mexico, will be here. (But then the patron saint of narcos is practically worshipped, too,) Also flying in from Mexico City to add star power to the festival will be Rigoberto Alfaro. He is a famous master of the musical arts in Mexico. He has been a performer, guitarist, composer, arranger, artistic director, and music teacher to entire generations of musical performers The Boys and Girls Club of Rosarito Beach is patterned after the Boys & Girls Club of America and is a non-profit organization that gets no help from the government through out Mexico, and in many other Latin countries as well. He has been a living foundation of the Mexican musical world for more than 63 years now. The festival will also feature Ballet Folklorico Tapatio. They have troupes in Oceanside, California, Tucson, Arizona and in Jalisco, Mexico. But the festival does not only sport Mariachi groups and dances performed by folk dancing troupes, it also will feature Martinez other types of music that people in Rosarito love. There will be banda, norteno, and rock music. In addition, the Baja Cowboys will perform. The festival will run for four days, September 30th through October 3rd, at the Rosarito Beach Hotel. The workshops for the youngsters will take place over three days on September 30th and October 1st and 2nd at the Boys and Girls Club. There will be classes for four levels of achievement.

Living in Baja for 12 years. Maintenence manager. First of all, I would lower income fight poverty and hunger. Every Mexican should have food and a decent place to live. 2. Raúl Lerma Car- or apartments for all the people. I would help young students with scholarships which would be a good way to end the problem of cash, so they could afford it and enjoy the extra classes. At the same time give them opportunities to work with dignity. So, with my power puters and opportunities to learn another language, like French, German, and English. For the women, I would give them better good education, security and healthcare for all the citizens. I would find a way to create more jobs, so the poverty would end taxes to 8%. The rich people would pay more. The richest and the investors should pay at least 10%. Also, I would write and reform a law so that no children are kept from receiving an education. I would flood the technology field with more resources, and not allow brilliant minds to go work in other countries. Instead, I would pay them a good salary, so they could continue their studies and research with more enthusiasm, and so our nation would have more industry. And the most important subject: razco. Living in Baja for 17 years. High school student. I would tell the people what I would like to do and ask them to help me. Do not increase taxes and pay a good salary for every worker, no matter if it is a man or woman. Do not let children work at all. They have the right to be a child, with quality education, to have a good future, helping the country with their knowledge and later working in excellent factories or industries. So people would have more work. I would build more paved streets, better street lights, and build decent houses children on the streets. 3. Edgar Santos. Living in Baja for 11 years. Gas station attendant. I would support all the junior and senior high school students, so they would not turn away in contempt. Out of every 50 students who start school, only about 20 finish their studies. I would give them the best teachers and professors, and I would increase activities such as photography and painting, so they would have more interest in staying in school. Also I would lower the enrollment fees. That way, the students would have a little bit of as a president, I would ask companies to make space for the graduates to start practicing what they are studying. 4. Lorenzo García. Living in Baja for seven years. Manager at a lighting store. I would support the working class, those who work in factories, in the fields, in agriculture or production, the places where our resources come from. I would give them a good salary, so they could work with enthusiasm. I would look very closely at the children in elementary and junior high school, to make sure they have com- treatment with no exceptions, like any other human being. I would make reforms that would not cause damage to poor people. 5. Rafaél Imperial Herrera. Living in Baja for 13 years. Palapero (builder of palm tree roofs). I would make the women (like an obligation), wear skirts instead of pants. They are not men. They should be absolutely feminine. Mostly the teachers should have to be an example for the students. Now, they dress like if they were going for a carnival contest. That is why there are so many young single mothers. I would demand My government would give much more help to the rural areas. They are the basis for food in our country. 6. Guillermo García. Living in Baja for nine years. Attorney. Honestly I would not want to have that injunctive. Whatever I would try to do, like a supreme commander, people would never be happy. So I think I am a better father, better husband, and a better professional just the way I am today, helping the people around me, without so many stupid and sick laws.

4 4.COM September 21 th, 2015 Did Anybody See These Little Carts With Mexican Flags? It s for the holiday, and we don t even want to know that you don t even know which holiday this is As in any other country our Mexican flag is a big deal for us. But more so here. We would not wear the bandera of the country holiday as a swmming suit for crying out loud, and we don t understand how you can desecrate your flag like that. BY ALEJANDRA SARACHAGA We even have to memorize an oath to the flag and the meaning of its colors when we are in elementary school. These carts with patriotic memorabelia, (OK, cheap trinkets), have come over from the mainland for the The current Mexican flag was officially adopted in 1968, but the basic design has been around since Our flag has changed betty s Authentic American Burgers Simply stated - the real deal KM 28 on the Free Road. Almost across the street of the purple motel. Ph. (661) Closed Mondays 13 times since then. Kinda like our constitution, it s a fluid thing. White meant the purity of the Catholic faith, red for the merging of Spaniards and indigenous, and green for the independence from Spain movement. But when Benny Juarez became president he changed the meaning because he also established a law which made the country secularized, meaning that no religion will be official and schools should not teach religion. He did this because the Catholic church was meddling in politics and had backed the wrong man when Juarez rose to power. So Juarez clipped the churches wings. At that time the colors came to be green for hope, white for unity and red for the blood shed by the national heroes. All this is to emulate Padre Miguel Hidalgo, the father of independence, who grabbed a Virgin of Guadalupe banner, waved it around like crazy and yelled out Viva Mexico, and calling for independence. So here is where the carritos are explained. You could buy all kinds of holiday paraphernalia off those little carts that spring up around town at this time of year. Those are little carts, or Carritos. Hung on these green, white, and red carts you will find Mexican flags of course, in all sizes and for all purposes, to decorate your house, your office, your car, or yourself. There are also whistles, trumpets, stickers, and even dresses for little girls. There are Mexican dolls, bobby pins, and the image of St. Jude and the Guadalupe Virgin decorated with the colors of the Mexican flag. Green, white and red, pay attention! There are also clappers, fake mustaches, necklaces, earrings, pinwheels, key chains, and more. And the prices are fair; they go from 20 pesos all the way up to 350 pesos for the biggest flag.

Two illegal taps into the gasoline pipeline in Oaxaca last weekend have resulted in environmental and economic damages for farmers and ranchers in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. One tap was followed by a spill that spread over a five-kilometer stretch, reaching a river and affecting at least 18 farms and ranches, where cattle are drinking contaminated water.

Producers and farmers in both towns say they reported the smell and possible contamination of the creek, but they claim that Pemex representatives took their sweet time to respond. Pemex personnel, however, allege that their slow response was due to the locals impeding their access to the compromised pipeline, demanding reparations before officials could even start mopping up. Says ranch owner Leticia Salas Bernal: They [Pemex] are the ones who contaminated, they should be the ones to clean up. But the clean-up should not last a week because the creeks and rivers remain polluted months after the spill, affecting my pasture and farm lands. Whoa, Nellie, it was the gas thieves who are responsible, did you ever think of dropping a dime when you saw them cruise into your range? Of course not. Just 20 minutes away from that spill, another illegal tap into the pipeline was detected, spilling 90,000 liters of gasoline into the Boca del Monte lagoon, After two days of work, Pemex personnel were able to retrieve 48,000 liters. The rest sank into the environment and was stolen by all the neighbors who piled on. Mexicans love their Facebook. Mexicans are among the world s most social population. CEPAL, the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, found that as of 2013, 78% of Mexican Internet users participated in social media networks, which was even more than in the US/Canada, which claimed only 65%. Based on Facebook users, Mexico is in 5 th place overall, at 44.4 million users. (The U.S. leads the way with million users but we re three times the population). Facebook was found to be the most popular network (145 million users), followed by ShareThis, Linked In, Twitter and Taringa. Latin America/Caribbean users also spent more time on individual sites, averaging 17 minutes per site visit, although the U.S. and Europe led the world with their monthly total of hours spent online. Other sites of interest to Latin Americans were news and e- commerce sites, but online banking was at the bottom of the list. Well, that makes sense, many Mexicans are still hiding their savings under the mattress, afraid of another devastating devaluation of the peso. Mexicans are learning to fly. Travel by air continues to grow in Mexico at the expense of the bus lines, whose fares in many cases are higher than those of the airlines. 20 years ago, just 0.9% of Mexicans traveled by air, a figure that has risen to 1.8%, according to estimates by the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation.

Too many Mexicans were arriving on vacation, taking a look at the generous social benefits and choosing to remain and going on the dole. Every Mexican official since then has complained about this, even to the point of straining diplomatic relations. But the need for obtaining a visa remains.

They are hoping to do even better this year because their dream is to build a brand new expanded clubhouse in the next couple of years.

Ensenada, the only deep-water port on the Baja Peninsula, has been named Mexico s first green port. A green port is on that is environmentally conscious. As if ports had a conscious. The green certification has been given to Ensenada because we comply with national and international laws regarding environmental management and port sustainability. And we keep emission of pollutants to a minimum. We re not saying we don t emit any, but we do keep them to a minimum so you hardly notice. The certification program is operated by ECO Sustainable Logic Chain, a foundation that develops environmental management tools for ports all over the world. Oh oh. We see a conflict here. So the company that gives out the gold stars is also a company that can be hired to get a port qualified for a gold star. Hmmmm... To qualify for this gold star, a port must prepare an environmental policy, describe how environmental management is implemented and provide an overview of environment aspects of the port area. And guess who can do all that for the port s management? Yup. We re not saying we don t deserve it, we re just saying what if we didn t hire this company to help us out? Would we still have earned our star? Just asking., as the weather. Salsipuedes and Todos Santos Island are both producing limits of calico bass and yellowtail plus bonito and barracuda.

San Quintin Rocky Cairnes and friends get together every year for a combo surf/fish trip to celebrate the life of their fishing buddy who passed away. Last year they honored him by crushing the tanker seabass and this year they honored him with a 50 pound wahoo. Captain George spotted three fish while throwing iron from the bow; he quickly changed to trolling rapalas and marauders and had a double hook-up one fell off and the other was boated. Fish were in clean, 74-degree water at the 240 Rock, commented Captain Kelly Catian. Plus there were some large dorado in the area.

Red Hat Society Sabor de Baja 2015 Is Another Success Althouogh it was hotter than hell, it was sold out. Tents next year. That s a must Bo Bendana and Dennis Sein, owners of Mi Casa Supper Club, pulled off another successful finale to summer. Participanting restaurants in the Sabor de Baja event were set up and ready for the sold out crowd and they were enthusiastic in describing their offerings. The event was hotter than last year and we re not just talking about the weather. 300 whiteattired guests wined and dined on the talented concoctions of 20 chefs from 20 wineries/ breweries. This year s judges were TV host, chef, and author Porter Brooks; author and food blogger Anita Lau; Michelin-star chef and restauranteur Drew Deckman; food blogger Michael Gardiner, and an enologist (wine guy,) from Valle de Guadalupe, Marco Antonio Amador. BY REN DRAKE HILL First Place was awarded to Sabor first-timer Latitude 32 and chef Mareos Martin for his Mayan black ceviche, made with recada negro, habanero oil, red onion and cilantro. The paired wine was Cassiopea 2014 Sauvignon Blanc from Vinos el Cielo. Second place was given to Savieros chef Brito and his Risotto in wine sauce with sundried tomatoes and crispy deep-fried lamb chicharon. Vincola Regional de Ensenadas provided the 2014 Nebiollo surcorojo/cabernet blend pairing. Third place went to La Caza Club and Chef Aviles with his sautéed pig s collar taco, with arugula, fig, goat cheese and almonds.

The People s Choice was awarded to Navio and Chef Rodriguez with a sublime Bluefin tuna tostada, paired with Legado Seis 2014 Sauvignon Blanc. I found it harder to judge wines against one another this year as so many were blends of two to five grape varieties. I m a conservative imbiber (not that I m voting for Carly Fiorina), but I drink less than one bottle of wine per week. Pairing 15 to 20 wines (and beer) is 7 to 10 glasses of wine, or one glass for every three or four bites of food. This could have been a recipe for disaster; the hottest day of the summer, with no shade, and four hours of all-the-wine-onecan-drink,before we all drive home. They might think about shade tents white tents, to keep with the theme. Guests shouldn t be toppling over before the fourth booth. This year tickets sold out three weeks before the event. If you missed out (or even if you didn t) the 2016 Sabor de Baja and White Attire Party will be August 31, so mark your calendars for early ticket purchase now.

10 10.COM September 21 th, 2015 Quinceaneras Godparents Needed We ll explain what that is A quinceanera is the Mexican equivalent of a Sweet 16 party, or Bat Mitzvah, or coming out party, but on steroids. Think of it less as a birthday party, and more like a wedding and reception. This isn t merely a birthday party, but the most important day in a young woman s life, as she leaves her childhood behind and becomes a woman eligible for grown up, er, activities. Many families save for many years so they can provide their daughters with the Quinceanera of their dreams. However, year olds and 15 families here in Rosarito Beach are in despair because they just couldn t save the money to grant their daughters those dreams. Everyone, individuals and clubs, are invited to participate in the solution they came up with. Normally, each girl celebrates her own personal quinceanera where she gets all the attention, but to save costs, 15 girls will share their big day with each other and throw one big party with a limit of 30 guests each. This is in addition to their sponsoring godfather and godmother they are looking for. That s a big party of 495 people. Are you ready to become a godparent? The party will be held this coming February 16 which sounds like a long way off, but there is much to do, and anyway, all the girls have to turn 15. Many items have already been donated, including the dresses BY REN DRAKE HILL and hair/make-up services. Other items needed include (for each girl), a bouquet, a crown, personal cake, jewelry, high heel shoes, and other personal items, plus table and room decorations. Each girl will select the color/theme for her table. Also needed are a photographer, videographer, band, DJ or live music; food and drink, and a venue that will hold 500 people.

Trottier explained that thanks to the visa rule the Canadian government has saved CAD $500 million annually in refugee processing costs, choosing not to go into how much in social benefit costs Canada has saved. Mexico steps up to the plate. It was a big step for Mexico when President Enrique Peña Nieto announced in September last year that the Mexican military will participate in international peacekeeping operations conducted by the United Nations. Yesterday, that big step materialized in a rather small way: turns out a total of two soldiers will join a UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon in November. Mexico goes English. Mexico will be a bilingual country within 10 to 20 years, the new Secretary of Education has forecast. Aurelio Nuño Mayer said the federal government is working on the creation of a national English program in order to reach that goal. English is the language through which we can all communicate; it is a tool and a fundamental part of professional development and modernization, he said. Kids are supposed to learn it now, but they don t, largely because the teachers don t know it. Estimates of the number of Mexicans who speak or understand English run between 2% and 5%, a situation that represents a great cost to the country s competitiveness internationally, said Mayer. This brings me to one of my favorite jokes. Question: what do you call a monolingual person? Answer: American He expressed alarm earlier this year that teaching English was not a priority in a country whose major trading partners are English-speaking. He cited some figures to make his point: 80% of basic education graduates those who complete primary and secondary levels have no knowledge of English at all, and in only 48% of Mexico s universities is English a mandatory course. Nor do businesses allocate any resources for training staff in English. It is a subject that has been abandoned not only by the government, but by the private sector as well. He observed that workers who can speak English can earn 28% to 50% more than those who do not. Mother of all tamales.

Social media was flooded with images of the surfers for a day or two but they were found safe and sound just a couple days later. It turns out their truck got stuck in the mud because of heavy rains in a deserted area with no cell phone reception but they managed to get to a nearby ranch where local people fed them and gave them shelter for a night and helped them get their truck out of the mud.

If you don t have your valid visa with you, you are asked, (required, actually), to fill out new paperwork, which could compromise your current residency status. And even cars going south are more closely watched now, with some being stopped and you better be able to pony up your Mexican paper work. And walking? Don t walk in without it, for sure, for sure. In most cases, a color copy of both sides of your temporary or permanent residency card will suffice. Carry it! Always, when you re border hopping. In other border news, Mexico s National Immigration Institute, in their infinite wisdom and in order to make border crossings easier and faster, has made it possible to buy the 180 day (6 month) FMM traveler s visa online. Purchase may be made by credit or debit card and then you can print out a document to show as proof of payment at your border crossing of choice. Once it s been approved and you printed it out, you have 30 days in which to initially use the document which is stamped upon entering Mexico the first Ph KM 57. La Fonda Exit time.

However, you can check the box at the bottom of the instructions to bring up the form, which is easily translatable if you know even rudimentary Spanish. (Uno mas cerveza does not count).

Up until very recently Mexican senoras would wear nice dresses, and you would rarely see them in pants. Now they nearly all nearly all the time wear pants. Here, they re even decked out in jeans and T shirts at a fund raising bake sale. When this cultural change happened, it came in a rush. Gosh, are we Gringos responsible for this?
