SOMETHIN GOOD FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Rocky Point's graffiti clean up organization held a meeting las Thursday at the Chamber of Commerce down town...Rosie Glover translated, and I'm waiting on the results of the meeting! I'm sure it was a success...check back for updates on this here in a few.

Here's the initial email about the meeting:

I think that we probably have all noticed that lately the graffiti problem has gotten much worse in Rocky Point. To address this problem, Eloy Gonzalez has put together an Anti-Graffiti strategy.

Other than just focusing on the problem, Eloy is doing a great job of looking for solutions. All interested parties are encouraged to attend a meeting tomorrow, Thursday, at CANACO (the Chamber of Commerce office behind the park on Fremont & Benito Juarez ). Representatives of the Mayor's office will be there, as will several of the civic organizations and television, radio, and print media. The meeting is scheduled for 7pm.

There will be a translator and everyone is encouraged to attend.

I appreciate you getting this out to everyone on your mailing list. I look forward to seeing a good turnout tomorrow!

P.S. Eloy Gonzalez can be reached at eloy_glez_glez@hotmail.com

ROCKY POINT REAL ESTATE DEALS - DAN MONROE STYLE

Here is what I've received from Dan Monroe on his "steals and deals":

Well it is the notorious Opalo 705 coming right back atcha. Sellers wanted me to let you all know that the price for this gorgeous, fully furnished, turnkey rental ready condo has just been reduced again. Opalo is once again the lowest priced 2 bedroom condo in Las Palomas. As you can tell, these sellers are quite motivated to move this property. This condo has been under contract 3 times and has fallen out for various reasons.

Price is now reduced to: $265,000

BRING IT!!

***If you have any questions regarding this property or any others listed here, please email me directly: myaann_roland@yahoo.com and I will get you in touch with the right realtor!***

WHAT NOT TO DO IN ROCKY POINT, CNT'D

Remeber that I owe you pictures from the outta control mom at S.W.I.M the other night? Well, here they are in all their hideous glory for your entertainment:

FROM PHYLLIS...

Hello all – as we have a Mixer coming up Wednesday at SWIM at Bella Sirena (see attached flyer), we will not have softball this week.  Also, being Father’s Day was yesterday, I did not send out anything for practice for all our Dad’s!

 

So, please plan on playing on June 25^th arriving at 5:45 PM to warm up and then playing at 6PM.

You are invited to join us at SWIM and should be lots of fun!

STELLAR!

Astronomers find 3 "Super Earths!" They say that Earth-like planets aren't so uncommon...if they aren't so uncommon, surely some of these planets are able to sustain life! 

Sort of scary, huh? We're totally not alone! I mean, sheesh - the closest plant is ONLY 42 light years away. Remember that a light-year is the distance light can travel in one year at a speed of 186,000 miles a second, or about 6 trillion miles.

They could be here in no time. Yikes.

COWBOY STADIUM UPDATE

Remember that crane accident in Cowboy Stadium? Well, here is an update sent in by Amy in San Antonio...

"Saturday morning update: 
Wes had to be put back under sedation and on the ventilator last night b/c he was so worn down from yesterdays activities.  All the nurses and Drs. say that he is one STRONG boy.  He is very muscular and they are having a tough time controlling his body.  He had a peaceful night.  This morning they have already tried to decrease the sedation, HE OPENED HIS EYES!!!  However, he became extremely violent and they were forced to immediately start the sedation again.  My dad said that this is joyous b/c this is the first time he has opened his eyes, but devastating b/c he doesn't know what is going on and it is evident that he is extremely frightened.  He was biting down on his ventilator tube and was turning beet red.  Dad is very upset and is not handling this part very well.  Pray for him and mom.  Our prayer today is that Wes will have peace today and understand that he is not in trouble while in restraints but that it is for his own well being.  Also pray that when they do wake him up again that he will begin to follow commands."

Her poor 14 year old son that she said could not leave was totally mortified that his mother was acting so foolishly...

METABO IN JAPANESE MEANS FAT

Wow! Japan does it again:

"Under a national law that came into effect two months ago, companies and local governments must now measure the waistlines of Japanese people between the ages of 40 and 74 as part of their annual checkups. That represents more than 56 million waistlines, or about 44 percent of the entire population.

Those exceeding government limits — 33.5 inches for men and 35.4 inches for women, which are identical to thresholds established in 2005 for Japan by the International Diabetes Federation as an easy guideline for identifying health risks — and having a weight-related ailment will be given dieting guidance if after three months they do not lose weight. If necessary, those people will be steered toward further re-education after six more months."

CLOSE TO HOME

Yesterday, a crane crashed at Cowboy Stadium in our home town of Arlington, TX. Unfortunately, someone close to us was involved!

One of my besties, Amy Sweeney, just sent this to me:

"Please pray for us.  My brother, Wesley Harlow, was the man critically hurt at the cowboys stadium today.  He was care-flighted to Baylor Hospital and we have been given a high security status.  The media is everywhere!  He is still listed as critical and they are telling us at this point his injuries are still considered life threatening.  They say the next three days will be the most critical and will help us know what we are facing.  He had severe head trauma, internal injuries, collapsed lung, multiple facial fractures, and eye trauma.  He is not awake and they have him in a drug induced paralyzed state.  We have been given open access to see him whenever we want, so that is helping us.  However, it is horrible to just stand there and stare at him and feel completely helpless.  PLEASE PRAY!!!  My Mom and Dad made it here safely from Houston and have set up camp at the hospital.  At this point, pray that his brain injuries will heal and that he will have no ill effects.  Also pray that there is no sight loss from the eye damage. 

Thanks for thinking of us and especially Wes!"

UPDATE:

"This is from Mitch (Burleson C.O.P.S. member) & Gillian Duck.  This update was at 2:31am today.  I have since talked to Mitch less than an hour ago and he wanted me to let everyone know that the radio station is reporting that Wes is deceased BUT HE IS NOT DECEASED!!!!  At this time they don't need us to do anything EXCEPT PRAY for them that everything will be okay!!  Mitch is keeping me posted and I will continue to keep you posted as I get updates.  If you have any other questions, feel free to email or call me."

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers today!
