Dear Sir,
What became of Surgery Host, the medical services provider that came to Lakeside with such a flourish a couple of years ago? I searched for them but gave up when I discovered that they had closed shop locally and withdrawn to Guadalajara, only to subsequently disappear from there too.
This is an open letter to the Lakeside community from jeweler Daniel Jackson Garcia, who together with his teenage nephew Miguel Angel Rivera Echeverria sustained extensive burn injuries from a gas explosion and fire that gutted the Ajijic workshop where they were working on January 21.
Dear Sir,
The recent article covering the concerns and plight of the Huichol people is thought provoking. The main concern cited is mining exploration by a Canadian company in their traditional lands. The problems of the Huichols are listed as poverty, hunger, marginalization and drought, to which could be added poor health care and lack of educational opportunities.
Dear Sir,
I know that the Jalisco Philharmonic Orchestra has not yet made a decision on their next music director. I am still very interested in the position and I am confident that a majority of the orchestra would be happy with this decision. We have worked together on every type of program imaginable, from ballet and opera to Stravinsky and Berlioz, from Marquez to music for the Juegos Panamericanos. That is a wide range of styles and genres to have at one’s command, especially with facility and conviction.
Dear Sir,
WalMart in San Antonio Tlayacapan is preparing to install a sign. It will be 15 meters from the parking lot to the top of the sign. The sign itself will be 7.5 meters x 2.25 meters. You can see the huge base prepared for the sign behind the bus stop at WalMart on the carretera.
Dear Sir,
This letter is in response to the public coverage of erroneous stories recently circulated about the Love in Action Children’s Center. It has been falsely reported that Love in Action Children’s Center, located in Chapala, Jalisco, has been involved in practices associated with the alleged illegal Irish adoptions of Mexican children.
Dear Sir,
I for one am relieved the Community Awards have been postponed. I was thrilled when I heard I had been nominated, but much less so when I saw I was ‘competing’ with Moonjeen King and her community centre in Tepehua. How do you choose between needy, battered women and needy, battered animals? They all desperately need our help.
