GOOD NEWS FOR MAZATLAN AND MEXICOGood news for 2016: two weeks before the New Year, top US and Mexican officials have signed a “landmark agreement” opening up the skies between them. “The new agreement will benefit US and Mexican airlines, travelers, businesses, airports and localities by allowing increased market access for passenger and cargo airlines to fly between any city in Mexico and any city in the United States,” announced US Secretary of State Kerry and Transportation Secretary Foxx, and Mexican Transportation Secretary Ruiz Esparza. Mazatlan should benefit significantly from this accord.

The existing agreement, which dates from 2005, generally permits up to two airlines of each side to serve most U.S.-Mexico city pairs, with a three-carrier limit for 14 specific destinations, including major tourism sites as Acapulco, Cancun, Cozumel, Mazatlan, Huatulco, Puerto Vallarta and San Jose del Cabo. The new agreement will do away with those limits and allow an unlimited number of carriers to serve any U.S.-Mexico city pair. It is expected to become effective on Jan. 1, 2016.

WeLCoMe toWelcome to Mazatlán, the Pearl of the Pacific, where the average temperature hovers around 82°F/28°C, the sun shines every day, and outdoors is the place to be. The activities this city has to offer will appeal to everyone. Here in the Sea of Cortéz, Mazatlán’s coastline beckons you to stroll along its numerous beaches, or its 10 kms of Malecón—seawall, or to hike to El Faro—lighthouse, the first highest natural lighthouse in the world.Beaches – All beaches in México are federal property up to high tide lines, and thus, public. Most of our beaches have lifeguards for your protection and warning flags that indicate by their color the condition of the water. Swimmers should know:BEACH SPORTS—try them all: para sail, kayak, boogie board, sail on a catamaran, jet ski, banana boat, shore fish, swim, body surf, play beach volleyball...or laze the day away under a palapa. Do as much or as little as you want. In the area of the Golden Zone: Playa Sábalos: Sábalo beach is on the north side of Valentino’s nightclub (castle like structure). Playa Gaviotas extends from Hotel Playa Mazatlán to El Cid Mega Resort. In the area of the Hotel Zone, you will see three islands rising offshore. Las Tres Islas: Wolf, Deer and Bird islands. Deer Island (center) has a small beach with great tide pools for snorkeling and can be accessed by boat cruises or catamaran.Isla de la Piedra – Stone Island is located at the southern end of the city and is actually a

península, but is easily accessible by taking a water taxi from the harbor This is a laid-back destination where you can walk, horse ride, or rent an ATV to explore the miles of undeveloped beaches, or hang out in one of the several open-air restaurants.Olas Altas means high waves.Located in Centro Histórico Old Town, Olas Altas is the starting point for the Malecón, the city’s seaside walkway and continues for 10 kms, up to Valentino’s. Shops, galleries and restaurants offer art, silver, souvenirs and great food.Playa Los Pinos: Between the Marine House and Fisherman’s Monument. Local fishermen sell their daily catches here in the early

morning or late afternoon.Playa Norte: North of Playa Los Pinos,

Playa Norte is a popular site to watch locals play beach baseball

and soccer.Playa Marlin: Along Avenida del Mar. Fresh seafood is served at beach side restaurants.Punta Camarón: The rocky point next to Valentino’s is a favorite with experienced

surfers who love this area’s biggest crashing waves.

North Beaches: Playa Bruja and Punta Cerritos—take any of the

buses marked “Cerritos” and you will find these more isolated beaches. Popular with surfers, it is also a great area for relaxing with good open-air restaurants serving delicious seafood.

SIGHTSEEING —Mazatlán is proud of its rich history, as evidenced by the many monuments throughout the city that have

become landmarks to us all. The Fisherman’s Monument is the most prominent, located on Avenida del Mar and Gutiérrez Nájera. The Sinaloan Family, looking towards the future, is located near Valentino’s and was a gift to the city from our famous artist, Antonio López Sáenz, at the turn of the century.El Centro – Downtown is the original Mazatlán where you will see neo-classical architecture and the European influence of this port’s early settlers. Take a Sábalo Centro (green) bus that travels from the north of the city, to downtown. Visit the Cathedral, Central Market and Plaza Revolución.Centro Histórico –Old Town—Walk a little further south and west of Plaza Revolución and you will find Plazuela Machado and the Ángela Peralta Theater in Centro Histórico, the restored historic center of the city which now extends to many streets with new shops and restaurants. If you continue walking west, toward the sea, you will come to the seaside area known as Olas Altas, Mazatlán’s original tourist zone. Here you can visit the Archaeological Museum, the Museum of Art and art galleries. If you are here on the first

Friday of the month between November and May, enjoy The Art Walk where you can tour the studios of local artists. Further along Olas Altas, you can watch clavadistas—cliff divers, diving from the rocks, into tidal pools.

ACTIVITIESShop the Golden Zone: Handicrafts, silver jewelry, leather clothes, huarache sandals, handmade gold and silver jewelry, Mexican zarapes, hand-painted pottery, talavera flatware, fine wood sculptures, Mexican blankets and so much more are available in the shops of the Golden Zone.Restaurants & Nightclubs: Enjoy a different restaurant every night from local, succulent seafood to hot & spicy Mexican plates, to international fine dining. And the nightlife never ends. Happening clubs for those who like to party long and late, and romantic dance floors for easy listening and dancing. They’re all here. Sport Fishing: The local waters are teeming with Swordfish, Sailfish, Marlin, Tuna and Dorado. Farther north is the best fresh water bass fishing in México.

BEACH FLAGSBeach flags are important and should be adhered to, as they explain how dangerous the waters could be. Remember this safe tip:

Red Flag: Indicates a high hazard from swimming and/or currents.

Gree Flag: Indicates a low hazard with calm conditions. Still exercise caution.

Yellow Flag: Indicates a medium hazard from moderate swimming.

White Flag: Indicates the presence of jellyfish. Extremely caution.

Hello my friends, it is my second month in beautiful Mazatlan.On the deck is where I do my school work. How cool is that? Not in a stuffy classroom. Nothing but sun and blue sky.

After school we went to a baseball game, the Mazatlan team kicked butt:) Venny the mascot was really funny. He danced his heart out.

There is never a dull moment here, two weeks after that we went to the Malecon to a friends place to watch the light up and had fireworks that evening. There were red waterproof ones, they sat on the water and then went up like fireballs they were really spectacular, you don’t see those in Canada.

Here in Mazatlan it is so beautiful, I could live here for ever, also once a month they have the art walk in Old Centro. Which we went to see, it was amazing, there were jewelry, pictures, paintings, sculptural figures, bead work and drawings.

On Friday December 11th we went and seen the Salvation Army kids christmas concert, they danced and sang with huge smiles on their cute faces. After the concert my papa made them laugh by playing rock

paper scissors with them. I was able to get a picture with them. It was a fun night.

I hope you folks had a Feliz Navidad and all the best in the New Year.

If you have any comments or questions sent me an e-mail to: [email protected]

Once you fall in love with Mazatlan and realize that it’s the place you want to spend the rest of your life, or at least eight months a year, you might want to think about seriously studying the local language. It’s true that a norteamericano can get by just fine here without a word of Spanish, but even a vocabulary of fifty words will open doors and windows and make day to day life more fascinating. Add another word or two here and there and next thing you know you’re conversing with all kinds of people.

Modern studies show that the best way to learn a foreign language is by making the lessons fun and interesting, as opposed to the old fashioned memorize and regurgitate method. The great linguist and explorer Sir Richard Burton felt that the fastest way to learn any dialect was in bed with a native, but the more prudent or prudish among us might opt for less extreme measures. In his defense, it should be mentioned that Sir Richard did not have the internet options available to us in this, the 21st century. With a simple laptop, you have access to all the idiomatic tools necessary to tackle a foreign language alone in the comfort of your hammock.

So, start your day with a rousing Youtube version of La Bamba, with the lyrics running by on the screen. Learn them. Familiar songs like Que Sera Sera and Tequila are also good

for expanding your vocabulary, and since you already have them subliminally embedded in your mind, all it takes is a little repetition and you’re dominating those words!

Then, it’s time for some advanced research. Find something you like, whether it’s soap operas (telenovelas), sports, old movies, nature documentaries or cartoons. Get it in Spanish or better yet Spanish subtitles, then vice versa, and enjoy it superficially while the deeper meanings sneak their way into your subconscious.

My addiction to Scrabble has helped me a lot in the pursuit of the language of Cervantes. Playing online with complete strangers, nobody

knows I have a terrible gringo accent. Nothing emblazons a word in your mind like when you lay it on a triple word score for a few dozen points.

In English-speaking countries, it is widely held that the Bard’s tongue has more words than Spanish, due to the influx of Greco-Franco-Germanic-Roman influences. Twice as many

w o r d s , at least. However, the land of Castille maintains that in actuality, Spanish has mas palabras. Having personally investigated the matter (“It must be true, I read it on the internet”), I have come to the conclusion that they’re both right, depending on how you tally up the words. If you count standard dictionary listings, sure, English has more, no doubt. But these dictionaries only feature the major verb forms, then sub-list the rest, and Spanish verbs each have dozens of variations. If you’re playing Scrabble, there are more acceptable words in Spanish, especially those useful, short ones that start with a V.

Anyhow, my point is, there are many fun and easy ways to sugarcoat the learning experience so that you make progress without losing that feeling of being on vacation. Ciao for now!

That magical time of year is nearly upon us again, and I can feel the pulse of sparkles behind my eyes. I’m feeling romantic; even dreamy over this beautiful little town they call Mazatlán.

Carnaval week is coming early this year, February 4-9, and this town does it just fine. Actually fine is an understatement. A few years ago, I went to the fireworks with a friend who had not yet seen this delightful display. That alone excited me, a chance for me to witness a virgin watch the most incredible sky show I have ever seen. I took her to the perfect place to stand, a magical spot in the street where one can get the full energy burst within, a mystical experience.

The Carnaval fireworks re-enact a naval battle that took place in 1864 when the French attempted to invade Mazatlán, but of course failed. In this simulation, there’s a Mexican naval frigate floating off shore that shoots fireworks toward land. From there, the attack is answered with fireworks in retaliation. This show is not sparse in lighting up the sky. At times the battle becomes intense with both sides firing at each other. To enhance the show, it’s choreographed perfectly with beautiful music that can be heard a mile away. Additionally, the scene is augmented with a laser show.

Until last year, you were allowed to stand right under the bright explosions. Every year, I would see sparks land on someone, but never saw anyone actually get hurt. I would see the fiery balls hit buildings, but never heard of any damage. The town did, however, install wall barriers last year to make this dramatic experience less dangerous. My story took place prior to these barriers.

…Fade to the past…Standing in our selected real

estate, we were in it! Just above our heads was the mid-point of the battle where the fire met. My friend turned to me, her expression cannot be explained, when she cried, “We are in the battle, I feel like we’re in it!”

She was right, my heartbeat was racing, my insides elated. The thousands of people around me were going through the same emotions. This went on for over 30 minutes without a moment to catch my breath.

This year, like all the others, will not disappoint any of us. Mexico will win the battle again; we will all feel

a national patriotism, while we begin to walk down the street in search of our cars. Warning, the rest of this story is not so exhilarating…

To get home, you must first walk down through a mob of folks, a thick grouping of humans pushing you along. The key is to have patience. Take it slow, and try to stay at the edge of the street. You follow my instructions, and all will be well for you to tell your grandchildren this wonderful story of the night you were part of the 1864 battle of wits when Mexico beat the French.

I hope you were able to visualize this experience. I highly recommend it for anyone’s bucket list. In closing, I realize there are many wonders of the world, but am thrilled that I have one in my back yard. I will do it again this year and the one after that. Sometimes, you put up with a hassle to experience a mind blowing event. This is one of those times. --Ahhh

MONEY BanksMost banks are open from 9am to 4pm Monday-Friday and some are open on Saturdays. Because of frequent changes with all the banks, it is best to check with them for their current policies. Not all banks will exchange foreign money to pesos. There is usually a daily minimum if they do and will require a passport.

Casa de Cambio (exchange bureau)These businesses are open longer hours than banks, usually do not have long lineups as banks often do, and they offer comparable exchange rates (though banks may offer a slightly better rate). Check around to see where you will receive the best exchange rate (the exchange rate is usually posted prominently outside the bank or casa de cambio).

ATMs in MéxicoThe most convenient way of accessing money while traveling is to withdraw Mexican pesos directly from your credit card or debit card. It’s safer than carrying cash and the exchange rate offered is usually very competitive.

Purchases Goods and ServicesBusinesses may accept a maximum of $100 USD in cash per transaction, with no restriction on the number of transactions per customer. However, many businesses are choosing to not accept US dollars at all. Likewise, many airlines within Mexico will only accept Mexican pesos and credit cards for payment of fees (such as baggage

fees). The most convenient way to pay for purchases is to use a credit card or withdraw Mexican pesos from an ATM. It is not advisable to carry large amounts of cash.

TippingTipping in either dollars (bills only, no coins) or pesos is acceptable, though pesos are usually more practical for the recipient. The amount you tip is at your discretion and should be based on the quality of service you received. At restaurants, 10 to 15% is standard. Check to be sure the tip is not included in your bill. Bellmen usually receive 10 pesos per bag and maids receive $15 to $30 pesos per day. It is not necessary to tip taxi drivers unless they have rendered special services. Tour guides and delivery people should be tipped. Youth and elderly who bag groceries do not receive a salary, but rely on tips. $2 to $10 pesos is standardized depending on how many bags you have.

DRINKING THE WATER Purified water and ice are available in all restaurants, bars and lounges. Purified water can be purchased in all supermarkets.

HEALTH Pharmacies are generally staffed by knowledgeable people. Many will deliver and some are open 24 hours.

POSTING MAIL The post office is located downtown, across

the street from the main plaza & the other one inside the Central Bus Station.

DELIvERY Check the food delivery policy with your hotel. Some allow the delivery to the lobby, others request that you wait outside the door of the lobby.

TAXES A national consumer tax of 16% known as an IVA is tacked onto most purchases, although it is generally included in most restaurant menu prices. Hotels charge a 18% tax.

TRANSPORTATION Always negotiate the price of the ride before entering a taxi. If you are not satisfied with the price, just step back and wait for the next one. In case they charge you more,

you can report to their terminal with the license plates. The following charges are fairly standard throughout Mazatlán — Taxis (red & green): from downtown to Golden Zone $60-$80 pesos. Pulmonias: from downtown to Golden Zone $70-$90 pesos. Aurigas: (red pick-up trucks) $80-$100 pesos (8 person capacity) Green Bus (air conditioned): $10.00 pesos (gives change) White with Yellow or Green stripes: $7.50 pesos (gives change).

DRIvING IN MAZ The speed limits in Mazatlán are 40kph in the city, 20kph in school and hospital zones and 90kph outside urban areas.Watch out for unmarked topes, or speed bumps. Some are fairly high and can cause severe damage to your vehicle.

touriStinformationn Dial the number 066 to notify the municipal police. Ask that a policeman and a police accident investigator come to the scene to make a report. n Do not remove the vehicles that are involved in the accident.n Go with the accident investigator to the corresponding police station.n You have the right to call your vehicle insurance company representative to discuss the accident with the judge and the accident investigator to determine who was at fault.n If someone is injured, no matter how slightly, the

person alleged to have done the injury must present himself at the State DA’s Office.n If no one is injured, the parties of the accident can go before a judge to make an agreement concerning payments for the repairs, thus avoiding going to the State DA’s office.n Always write down the name of the Officer(s) and the number on the back of the vehicle who come to the scene.

IMPORTANT INFORMATIONTHIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU NEED TO REMEMBER IN CASE

OF BEING IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT

DIAL 066 OR 080FOR EMERGENCY ASSITANCE

DO NOT PAY OR OFFER TO PAY DIRECTLYAll fines are to be paid at the main office station, if you feel you have

been wronged by an officer(s), you MUST report and make an official complaint so that the police department can take action.

METHOD1. Preheat oven 350 F (180°C) Grease and flour a 9 inch baking pan.Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside. Cream butter and sugar until light. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Mix in vanilla, lemon zest and yogurt. Alternately, to the batter, add flour mixture and milk. Spread half of the batter into the prepared top. Cut

the strawberries in half, lengthwise; placing them on top of the batter. Cover berries with the remaining batter, some of the berries will show thru, which is OK. Spread prepared crumb topping over the cake top. Bake for about 45 minutes, cake will be golden brown. Test by inserting toothpick and it is clean. Cool in pan on rack. Just before serving, dust cake with powdered sugar.

This coffee cake recipe is easily adaptable to be used with any mixture of berries or fresh fruit.When making this cake, north of the

border, I like to use a combination of blueberries and strawberries. You can also use pieces of papaya, bananas cut into 1 inches thick pieces, sliced peeled peaches etc. After transferring half of the batter to the

baking pan, spread fruit on top of the batter, when using strawberries, cutting them in half, placing them cut side down. For ease in preparation, make the crumb topping first and set it aside, so it will be ready to finish the cake. In Mexico, Do not use Mexican Brown sugar for the crumb topping, as that brown sugar is grainy, does not dissolve. Substitute white granulated sugar.

INGREDIENTS For the crumb topping

INGREDIENTS Strawberry Coffee Cake Batter

METHOD For the crumb toppingCombine all ingredients, mixing to form crumbs. Spread crumbs on top of cake batter.

Try this delicious Strawberry Coffee Cake for Christmas.

It is not uncommon for most people to feel like they might have over done it during the Holidays with the binging, the heavy drinking, the late partying and the altered eating schedules. Fortunately, cleansing your system from such excesses is simpler than you think.

Fruits make for a powerful detoxing tool by themselves helping the organism go back to its normal state. Their high water content and high mineral and vitamin doses t o g e t h e r with antioxidants and fiber content help with getting rid of toxins and other unhealthy substances from our body, specially citrus fruits like lime, lemon, orange and such.

Greens are very important because of the high chlorophyll content, a component that purges and restores mainly the digestive system.

Garlic and onion are two types of food with high restorative power. Let’s not forget those enzymes work as cleansers and diuretics, which is why

it has amazing health benefits to throw them into every meal as much as possible. A hearty and delicious onion soup is a great way to balance your organism after days of binging.

Infusions are another resourceful way to getting rid of what your

body doesn’t need and the best part is that in Mazatlán you can find all sorts of therapeutic herbs and teas at the local market so you won’t get bored easily of drinking this heavenly elixir.

Green tea is the rock star of infusions due to its variety of properties but feel

confident to ask the person in charge of the stall to recommend something for your specific needs.

What better way to start a brand new year than taking back control of your health and body? It’s easy

and a perfect way to boost your self-confidence by increasing your levels of dopamine and serotonin pampering and nurturing yourself while at it.

Ready for a healthy kick off? HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!

“green tea is the rock star of infusions

due to its variety of properties.”

Meat aside By Adriana Toledo

Happy and Healthy New Year 2016!

Fruits are a powerful detoxing too

Dear Love Doctors:My son in law is nice but is not overly friendly. He is self centered and non talkative. We have found the trick is to engage him in conversation around his interests. For example if he is interested in car’s our conversation focuses on car’s. Do you think we are approaching this situation in the right way?

Dear Concerned:Yes that is the right way to approach the situation. By keeping him engaged in something he is interested in he can be part of the conversation and social interactions.

Dear Love Doctors:My spouse collects guns and they frighten me to death. When I tell him his guns frighten me he gets angry. I fear that a gun that’s loaded might unintentionally kill someone in our family. What can I do? Frightened.

Dear Frightened:Get a security system for your home and make sure your husband’s weapons are not loaded and the ammunition is stored in a separate place that is locked. Be very much worried if your spouse is impulsive.

Dear Love Doctors:What kind of “tools” should we have in a marriage tool kit? Looking for the right tools for a harmonious relationship.

Dear Looking for Tools:A trigger phrase is “Hey honey, we have to talk”. Do not hide or run from these types of phrases. A spouse should always be able to discuss issues. The most frequent questions we get are about money, kids, in-laws, use of time and health. It is self defeating to create a chasm – a NO NO “Not that subject” waste land. We recommend the following guidelines be used.1. Have a regular “Can we talk” time. Ours is twice a week. Make sure you

honor that as a prime commitment.2. Know your attitude is vital. Do not come with the attitude “this is really not a problem so why is my spouse so bent out of shape?We employ the attitude “If one thinks there is a problem, THERE IS! Before either of you verbally respond, write out a brief response. Usually after a half hour or so and a coffee/ tea break, solutions can be found.Focus on the problem – NOT each other. Remember couples are team mates not adversaries. Deal with the issue at hand. At times the past does impact the talk but DO NOT re-hash the past. Listen-Listen-Listen! Give full attention when the other is talking. DO NOT interrupt! Hang in there...the problem may take more than one session.

Notice the Good, Laugh Loud, Love Often!

We have read your paper every month for the last nine years that we have been living in Mazatlan for the winter. You have helped us get to know and enjoy this lovely city, and your articles and editorials seem to always promote making the city a better place. We are now living in Cerritos. Years ago the beach was pretty deserted, now it is very busy, and with new construction everywhere, is becoming even more so. We are concerned about the cars, trucks and all-terrain vehicles that race up and down the beach on the weekends. We wonder if your

paper could call attention to this issue, and perhaps raise awareness of the problems it causes, and encourage steps towards a solution?

The cars access the beach from the large vacant lot south of the Quintas del Mar condos and villas. We live at Quintas del Mar, and we have seen them racing up and down the beach every weekend since we arrived three weeks ago. Last Saturday, by the end of the day, there was not any part of the beach that was above the water line that was not covered by tire tracks. They drive fast, even when there are people walking and children playing on the beach. They drive during and after sunset, even when it becomes difficult to see if there are people on the beach. Worse yet, there are still turtles laying eggs on the beach. We have seen a couple baby turtles making their way toward the ocean, and we wonder how many more have been killed, or the eggs destroyed, by vehicles on the

beach. Aren’t the turtles endangered and protected by law? Isn’t the safety of beach goers more important than the money made by renting out all-terrain vehicles? Aren’t the environment and beautiful beaches of Mazatlan worth preserving for all to enjoy?

Last weekend, after the cars drove into our beach space, in front of our building, a staff member from our building stood on the beach with a phone and called the transit police. The vehicle drivers went away, but came back five minutes later, the police did not come. I have seen the police cars near the beach before, but not on Saturday night. I wonder if it is possible for them to do something on the weekends, to keep the cars, trucks and all-terrain vehicles off the beach? They are degrading the beautiful environment and endangering everyone on the beach. Do we have to wait until someone gets hurt before this is stopped?

Jorge Corral is a man with a mission: to bring the sport of kings to the masses of Mazatlan, especially young people. And as Golf Director of Mazatlan’s fabulous Estrella del Mar golf resort, he is uniquely positioned to do so. Much more than a beautiful golf course (the best in the region, designed by the acclaimed RT Jones, Jr), Estrella del Mar features almost six kilometers of pristine, landscaped beachfront, a gated residential community, a world class hotel, two restaurant/bars, swimming pools, tennis courts, a soccer field, exotic birdwatching, even a baby turtle shelter. The prices are amazingly accessible for such luxury, whether it’s a day on the links, a weekend at the hotel or a lifetime investment. Secluded from noise and stress, located just ten easy minutes from Mazatlan’s international airport, Estrella del Mar is truly the jewel of the Mexican Riviera. It is hard to imagine a more beautiful place to play golf.

When Jorge extolls the benefits of getting young players involved in golf, he is speaking from experience. A golf scholarship to USC opened the door to eight years of international travel as a professional, visiting major courses all over the world. He notes that the game builds character, develops

qualities of individual motivation and concentration, and teaches valuable lessons about effort and success. He is working with Estrella del Mar owner Leovigildo Carranza to introduce kids to the sport at an early age, sponsoring free golf programs for kids, involving both public and private schools, showing that golf is not just a “rich man’s game”, or even just a man’s game,

as Mexico’s former world champion Lorena Ochoa has proven. Girls as well as boys will be encouraged to take part in the training programs, learning about technique, strategy and above all, love of the game. Unlike most sports, golf is something you can play all life long, but of course the younger you start, the better your chances of mastering it.

Estrella del Mar also hosts top

tier events. The upcoming Mazatlan Open, May 23-29, will be the third in as many years, starting in 2014. The Mazatlan Open has attracted up to 144 professionals from 25 countries, and this year it will be broadcast worldwide on the Golf Channel. Jorge mentions with pride that Estrella del Mar is associated with the PGA TOUR, which in the entire world of sports is the number one donor to charities.

Visit Estrella del Mar on Facebook, or better yet, visit it in person for one of the most pleasant days of your life!
