Purgatorio & Lake Chapala

Dear Sir,

I’m confused about the new Purgatorio dam. The recent Reporter article states that the new dam “would significantly reduce extractions from Lake Chapala,” but gives no explanation of how, why or by when.


On behalf of Manuel Renteria

Dear Sir,

On behalf of Manuel Renteria (injured in the hit-and-run accident on June 2) and the Cruz Roja International Volunteers we want to thank all of you for your much needed cash donations for Manuel’s pain medications and food. He has severe pain in his ribs, legs and back. He is on crutches and unable to work at this time.

Religion & morality

Dear Sir,

Metro area needs more churches, archbishop says. (Reporter, June 1, 2013). I can understand why. The church needs more immoral people.

Driving over speed bumps

Dear Sir,

This letter is addressed to those drivers who find themselves driving over the “speed-strips” (mini-topes) which were recently installed in San Antonio Tlayacapan and Riberas del Pilar.

Scorpion scares

Dear Sir,

As the industrious farmers of Chapala plow the ever-expanding areas of dry lake shore for new plantings, our attention necessarily turns to the scorpions this activity sends into our homes.

Rosary broadcasts

Dear Sir,

At 7:30 a.m., Monday through Saturday, I am subjected to a recitation of the rosary boomed into my home from loudspeakers atop the Catholic church in San Antonio Tlayacapan.

Wonderful police

Dear Sir,

On Monday, May 13, at about 12:40 p.m., I returned from a trip to my bank to find a robber in my house. As bad as the situation was, the police who arrived were totally professional, compassionate, and helpful, as were the wonderful neighbors who gathered on the street to hug me, bring me cold water for my gassed eyes and generally offer their support.
