Dear Editor;
Do you or any of your readers know what the police will
do if I cannot produce a valid/current drivers' license?
My license expires next week and I cannot get it renewed
without proof of insurance per family back home in CA.
My car is covered by a Mexican insurance plan and I
will not leave Mexico until late July at which time
I plan to buy US coverage.
Any suggestions will be helpful.
Gratefully,
Kathy Parisotto

Dear Kathy,
We don’t have a solution for you right now, but
perhaps one of our readers will contact you with some
information. In the meantime, keep a low profile, drive
carefully, and good luck.
The Ed.
This is for Anna,
I know they say you go to restaurants
and get nothing free. But how do you explain your trip
to El Nogalito and say there is only one restaurant?
You basically drove past Chanos restaurant
on the way up to restaurant El Nogalito. There are small
signs coming up the road from the highway with arrows
pointing which way to go. It sits right on the river
and is very peaceful with fish swimming right below
the restaurant. The prices are much cheaper. They serve
a wide variety of excellent seafood fixed anyway you
like. The setting is very different from El Nogalito
but very special in its own way.

Dear Ken,
I stand corrected. But you must
realize that part of the article -including the paragraph
that reads “To reach the one and only restaurant,…”-
was written by my colleague, Ana Luz. I should have
been more careful with what I kept and what I discarded
from her writings.
Thank you for pointing out the
error and I will certainly make a point of going to
visit Chanos as soon as I get the chance.
Anna
Dear Editor,
I saw the reader letter in the current
issue of the Tribune (No. 316). I have not received
any emails with questions. Please assure your readers
that I would answer any questions I could by email,
although specific medical advice may be difficult to
provide without seeing the patient.
Any reader wishing to contact me
directly can reach me by email at arceinpv@hotmail.com
or at gvarce@hotmail.com or call for an appointment
at the office or my cell phone (322) 294-2009. I do
plan to resume my articles in a few months, but they
require time and research to do properly and I will
be working on them over the summer.
Sincerely,
Dr. Gustavo Arce, M.D.
Dear Editor and Contributors,
I am hoping that someone at the Mirror
will find this story worthy of writing and I think it
would be very interesting to the people in Puerto Vallarta.
Do you remember when Alaska flight #261 crashed in the
ocean on its way to Seattle in January 2000, there were
many well known
people on that flight and one couple was the Rev. Joe
Knight and his wife Linda, who had be doing a tremendous
amount of work to improve the lives of the families
that live in the dump in Magisterio, just outside of
PV. After the crash their story received an enormous
of coverage on TV and all the newspapers in Seattle,
Washington and it touched the hearts of many.
One person in particular was Sonya
Saavedra, an employee of Alaska Airlines and had taken
that very flight home on several different occasions
due to her love of Vallarta and its people. She wanted
so desperately to continue the good work the Knight's
had started and when she heard that their son Jeff,
who was also a minister, was going to do just that,
she started a campaign to raise money by asking for
donations from other fellow Alaska/Horizon Airline workers.
See www.childrenofthedump.org and
www.perdonamistad.com .
What transpired is truly amazing
- the first year anniversary she collected $1,800. USD
and when she handed the money to Rev. Knight he blessed
it and prayed to God to triple the money so that they
could do greater work with the "Children of the
Dump." The following year she raised $10,000. USD
and on the 3rd year anniversary her and her colleagues
raised almost $16,000. USD, which was just donated last
month here in PV.
Upon her return to Seattle someone
at King TV (Channel 5) heard about the event and decided
to do a follow-up story for the "Evening Magazine
Show" that is viewed every night at 7:00pm.
Sonya, her 3 assistants and the TV
people will be arriving on flight 198 at 2:45pm and
returning on May 4th, and they will be staying at the
Playa Los Arcos hotel. They will be filming at the dump
on the 29th and 30th of April, in attendance will be
Pastor Saul (222-2572).
It would be a wonderful story for
your magazine especially when there are so many people
looking for heartfelt stories during these troubled
times. You also have a large contingent
of NW visitors and residents who live here and are familiar
with Channel 5 and Alaska/Horizon Airlines, who by the
way, are donating 100 T-shirts for the School of Champions.
People like Sonya, whose hard work,
dedication and tenacity sometimes go unnoticed, deserve
their moment of glory.
If you need any further information
please contact me on 222-7017, Dolores Brittingham.
