Greetings 5,308 El Sayulero Readers,
I am not sure switching to bi-weekly issues is giving
the El Sayulero editors any extra summer fun time. This edition seems to be double in size compared to a normal
week. Part of the extra news comes
from a few new writers joining our staff. Astrid Vanya is going to be sharing what Sayulita looks like from a kid's
view while Octavia Jolley and Daniel Brewer have started a Nature column
dedicated to focusing on the plant and animal life in our area. Welcome new contributors and thanks for
all your great El Sayulero input.
Speaking of animals:
There have been a lot of jellyfish in the Sayulita Bay lately with
smaller ones washing up on the beach.
Make sure not to pick up any of the shiny dime-size transparent "jewels"
you might see on your next beach stroll.
If you wondered what all the shouting was about all over
Mexico yesterday afternoon, here you go: Mexico beat number one
ranked Italy (2-1) in the World Cup pre-match. Mexico plays South Africa Friday, June 11, at 4PM in the
first official game of the 2010 World Cup.
Not-To-Miss-Events
Saturday Morning (June 5): Punta
Sayulita Beach Cleanup
Saturday Afternoon (June 5): CVIS
Surfathon
Monday evening (June 7): Fundraiser
for Juan Carlos at Don Pedros.
On a final note, one of our readers forwarded me a great news article about what so many of us already know to be true.
Mexico's border town drug wars continue to have zero effect on the
peace, safety, and tranquility of most of the country. Especially coastal villages like
Sayulita!
Thanks for reading Ian Hodge General Editor: ElSayulero.com Ian HodgeDueno: ElSayulero.com |
Salsa Night Fundraiser For Seriously Injured Local Sayulita Boy
|  By: Lindsay Walter
Almost two years ago, on August 11th 2008, a young local boy was
seriously injured in a car accident outside Sayulita. Juan Carlos
Fierro Olea who was two years old at the time suffered a massive head
injury. The right side of his head caved in and left Juan Carlos with
serious brain damage. On Monday June 7th Don Pedro's salsa night will also be the fundraiser event for Juan Carlos and his
family. All ticket sales for Salsa Night will be donated to the family
and there will be a collection box set up at Don Pedro's for additional fundraising. More > Hace casi 2 anos, el día 11 de agosto 2008, un niño local se

Love Sayulita? I Do.
|  By: Andrea Villarrubia
You've all heard me wax poetic about what a great family town Sayulita
is - whether to vacation or to live - but it's been a little while so I
thought I'd wax from a different perspective. Apart from my most
important job of being Maximo's Mama, and my (of course) very important
responsibility of writing a certain column, my job that pays the bills
is my wedding planning business. More>
Ojalla no estan cansados a escucharme cantando las alabanzas de
Sayulita una y otra vez. Bueno, sí o sí, ha sido un poco tiempo así que
pensé a cantarlos de nuevo, de una perspectiva diferente. Aparte de mi
trabajo más importante de ser mamá de Máximo, y mi (por supuesto)
responsabilidad muy importante de escribir esa columna, mi trabajo que
paga las cuentas es mi empresa de organización de bodas. Mas>

Why We Live Here (The Surfer's Version)
|  By: Justin Henderson
My family is heading back to Seattle, Washington for a month this
summer, to see our US friends and do some business. And to experience
some ersatz version of our previous American life. You remember, the
way we once lived. We moved here a year ago in July and haven't been
back to the U.S. since, so it'll be an interesting time, I'm sure. More >
Mi
familia se dirige de regreso a Seattle, Washington, para un mes este
verano, para ver a nuestros amigos EE.UU. y hacer negocios. Si quiere disfrutar de una versión sucedánea de nuestra vida americana anterior. ¿Te acuerdas, la forma en que una vez vivieron. Nos

por lo que será un momento interesante, estoy seguro. Mas >

How Commitees Are Formed At GPS
|  By: Grupo Pro Sayulita - Eric Rudd
When someone discovers a need and steps up to the plate and generates
interest in that area, usually a committee is formed. For example, Mike
Beck realized that no one had a defiberillator in Sayulita, in case
someone has a heart attack. So after discussions and research, Grupo
Pro Sayulita voted to buy one and to loan it to Dr. Moy, who is making
it available to anyone for free! One day, that defibillator will save
somone's life, and it will only be because Mike stepped up to the
plate. Since then, Dr. Moy has taken over the committee. More >
Cuando alguien descubre que una necesidad y los pasos hasta el
plato y engendra interés en esa área, generalmente un comité es
formado. Por ejemplo, Seña de Mike se dio cuenta de que nadie tuvo un
defiberillator en Sayulita, en caso de que alguien tenga un infarto.
¡Entonces después de que discusiones e investigue, Grupo Pro Sayulita
votó de comprar uno y para prestarlo al Dr. Moy, que hace disponible a
cualquiera para libre! Un día, que defibillator guardará la vida de
somone, y sólo será porque Mike ascendió al plato. Desde entonces, el
Dr. Moy ha tomado el comité. Mas >

Sayulita Inspirations: Fish Tales
|  By: Maria Zache
Here, fishy-fishy! A six-inch, trout-shaped fish had swum up next to me
and was very intent on finding out who or what I was. I had taken our
kayak out on our little lake (in the northern U.S.) and beached it by
some reeds and cattails in a sandy area, waded around and now was
sitting in the water which was an extremely comfortable temperature,
considering it was only Memorial Day weekend. More >
Aquí, a pescado, a pescado! Un niño de seis pulgadas, con forma de
pescado la trucha había nadado a mi lado y estaba muy decidido a
descubrir quién o qué era yo. Yo había tomado nuestro kayak en nuestro
pequeño lago (en el norte de EE.UU.) y varada por algunos juncos y
espadañas en una zona de arena, se metió en todo y ahora estaba sentado
en el agua que estaba a una temperatura extremadamente cómodas,
teniendo en cuenta que sólo Memorial Día de fin de semana. Mas >

Jicama and Coconut Oil, Did ya Know?
|  By: Josh and Shelly
We can't really say there is such a thing as a bad fruit or vegetable.
There is a discussion to be had about how much sugar vs. fiber is in
your produce, but we will save that for another day. This week we've
choosen to increase our community's Food IQ by shedding some light
on Jicama and Coconut oil. Two misunderstood and under-represented
vegetables (coconut meat is fruit while the oil is considered veg). More >
Realmente no podemos decir que hay tal
cosa como un mal fruto o vegetal. Hay una discusión que se tenía sobre
la cantidad de azúcar de fibra en su contra es producir, pero dejaremos
ese tema para otro día. Esta semana hemos elegido para aumentar nuestra
comunidad de la Alimentación IQ por arrojar alguna luz sobre jícama y
el aceite de coco. Dos incomprendidos y con representación hortalizas
(pulpa de coco es la fruta mientras que el aceite se considera veg). Mas >

Cool Treats To Beat The Heat
|  By: Astrid Vanya
Today seemed really hot and I wanted a cool sweet treat. Here in
Sayulita there are lots of delicious snacks, like Helado, Paletas, Agua
Frescas and Respados. Helado is ice cream, Paletas are yummy popsicles
and Respados are shaved ice. I decided I wanted to go to my favourite
ice cream place, Wakika. Wakika sells ice cream, popsicles and
aguafrescas (sweet fruit drinks.) It's owned by my friend Duilio's
family. More >

Nature Corner: Sayulita Plant Life
|  By: Octavia & Daniel
As you have been cruising around Sayulita lately, you may have noticed
a big tall tree with brillant yellow flower clusters standing alone
amongst an open field or hidden within other tree species. It looks as
if there is no greenery, just these showy flowers mounted upon a light
colored trunk, lighting up the landscape with its color. This is the
magnificient Primavera tree, which turns out to be the material of
choice for many windows and doors on our homes here in Sayulita. More >

Pet of the Week: "Milly"
| 
This dog's name is Milly. Her grayed muzzle
and deeply lined brow show her age. So does her wrinkled mouth, which opens to
reveal soft pink gums but very few teeth. Milly's teats droop low - nearly
dragging on the ground following her most recent pregnancy, and her calloused
hind betrays a lifetime lived on the street. The hundred or so puppies Milly has birthed
and raised during her life have taken a toll on her body. She is currently
being treated for both breast cancer and a vaginal tumor. As she lives out the
final three or four years of her life, Milly will require a monthly pill to
treat her developing heart condition. It is finally Milly's turn to live in
comfort and companionship. Help care for
Milly just like she has cared for so many puppies. The cost of Milly's
immediate medical care is estimated at around MX$7,000 (600 USD). Sayulitanimals asks you to help fund Milly's medical costs. And, even more
importantly, we are looking for a loving, dedicated person to adopt Milly when
she recovers from her treatments and to live her final years in dignity and
respect . You can make a donation to Milly's medical
care via PayPal at www.sayulitanimals.org or www.spcapv.com. Please specify that the donation is for Milly. To find out more about
adopting Milly, please contact Sara Briner of Sayulitanimals or Janice
Chatterton of the SPCA de PV at janice@haciendasanangel.com.  El nombre de este perro es Milly. Su hocico gris y arrugas profundas frente mostrar su edad. Lo mismo sucede con su arrugada boca, que se abre para revelar las encías blandas de color rosa, pero muy pocos dientes. tetinas
de Milly baja caída - cerca arrastrando por el suelo después de su
embarazo más reciente, y su posterior callosas traiciona toda su vida
vivió en la calle. El centenar de cachorros Milly ha dado a luz y se crió durante su vida han tomado un peaje en su cuerpo. Actualmente está recibiendo tratamiento para el cáncer de mama como de un tumor vaginal. Como
ella vive los últimos tres o cuatro años de su vida, Milly requerirá
una píldora mensual para tratar su afección cardíaca en desarrollo. Por último, es a su vez de Milly a vivir en comodidad y compañía. Ayuda para Milly cuidado al igual que ella ha cuidado de tantos cachorros. El costo de la atención médica inmediata y Milly se estima en alrededor de MX $ 7,000 (600 USD). Sayulitanimals te pide para ayudar a financiar los gastos médicos de Milly. Y,
más importante aún, estamos buscando una persona amorosa, dedicada a la
adopción de Milly, cuando se recupere de sus tratamientos y para vivir
sus últimos años con dignidad y respeto. Usted puede hacer una donación a la atención médica de Milly a través de PayPal en www.sayulitanimals.org o www.spcapv.com. Por favor especificar que la donación es para Milly. Para
saber más sobre la adopción de Milly, por favor póngase en contacto con Sara Briner de Sayulitanimals o Janice Chatterton de la SPCA de PV en
