THANKS TO ALL OF OUR SUPPORTERS FOR CONTINUING TO BELIEVE IN
OUR PURPOSE
YES, Thanks to all of you that have congratulated us and have sponsored us
throughout the years, we are especially
grateful for your support this year, a year
that many of us noticed as a particularly
“lean” year. There were times during this
last year that we thought the town that
we have grown and loved must have simply lost its drive to say to world “WE ARE
OPEN”!!!
We know a lot of our supporters and
Mazatlan business comrades felt the
crunch this past year and many even had
to close their businesses or at least close
for a month or more just to make ends
meet. It makes our appreciation and our
thanks to you that much more deserved.
We appreciate you and know that it is
only because of the sponsorship and support by real people and companies that
we have maintained 21 years of business.
We all remember the good old days of
Mazatlan, when families of all cultures
used to meet here for vacation and have a
great respect and knowledge for each other. There has been some talk that those
times may be returning soon. Many venues have been reporting that new ventures
such as: Hilton Hotel, Sears, Costco, WalMart Superstore, new franchise restaurants, two to three new hotels and condo
complexes are coming our way in the very
near future. There is also talk of additional
airlines and routes planning on coming to
Mazatlan. Plus they’re fixing the Malecon
again to a new level of internationalism.
I’m not sure exactly what they mean by
“a new level of internationalism”… but I’m
hoping it goes along with international hot
dog and taco carts! We all know about
the new road from Durango that is almost
completed and is absolutely spectacular,
but there is also a proposal in the works

beach to Culiacan. Wow…
Now from my perspective we need to
push them to fix up the Golden Zone and
the North Golden Zone to the El Faro Hotel, as well as finish the beach entrance
in middle of the Golden Zone, but we’ll
talk more on that later... (Hint: people and
tourists will need to get from one end to

Welcome to Mazatlán
W
elcome 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 on 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 second highest
natural lighthouse in the world.
Beaches – Our beaches all have lifeguards for your protection, and warning
flags along the beaches indicate by their
color the condition of the water. Swimmers should know:
BEACH SPORTS—try them all: parasail,
kayak, boogie board, sail on a catamaran,
jet ski, banana boat, shore fish, swim,
bodysurf, 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
(castlelike 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 peninsula but is easily accessible
by taking a water taxi from the harbor
(20 pesos return) 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 Historico 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 Fish-erman´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 beachside
restaurants.
Punta Camarón: The rocky point next to
Valentino´s is a favorite with experienced
surfers who love this area´s big 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 horse riding and
has a relaxing atmosphere 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 Gutierrez Najera. The Sinaloan Family, looking towards the future, is located near
Valentino´s and was a gift to the city
from our famous artist, Antonio Lopez
Saenz, 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 Historico –Old Town—Walk
a little further south and west of Plaza
Revolución and you will find Plazuela
Machado and the Angela Peralta Theater
in Centro Historico, 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 Archeological Museum,
the Museum of Art and art galleries. If
you are here on the first Friday of the
months 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.
ACTIVITIES
Shop the Golden Zone: Handicrafts, silver jewelry, leather clothes, huarache sandals, handmade gold and silver jewelry,
Mexican zarapes, hand-painted pottery,
talavera dishes, fine wood sculptures,
Mexican blankets and so much more
are available in the shops of the Golden
Zone.
Restaurants & Nightclubs: Enjoy different
restaurant every night—from local, suc-
-Anonymous
culent 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 Mexico.

203 years of independence, with a grand fiesta in the Plazuela Republica,

response that dates back to 1810, when Father Miguel Hidalgo cried out to
colonial rule. Today, the mayor calls out something relevant to the history,
and the crowd yells VIVA! after each call out. If you decide to join this

with instructing affluent young minds by

get in compliance with the new mandatory healthcare mandates. And while I’m
proud to see Washington leading the
way toward a saner marijuana policy, it’s
also dismaying to note that legalizing it
doesn’t exactly cause the price to plummet to the level of alfalfa. Then there’s
the high cost of beer drinking. No matter

you’ll be broke either way, so you might

How to Carry Things
-Winston Churchill
September 2013
Control Técnico de Plagas
del Pacífico S.A. de C.V.
Dr. Steven Backman
W
hen carrying or
lifting things there
are 2 things you
MUST know. Last week,
research from the United
States indicated that a big
reason that woman
have health problems
from the feet to the neck is carrying
purses. Normally when someone
carries something on a shoulder, you
would think that it actually lowers
that shoulder. However, your body
compensates and the shoulder with the
object is actually elevated. This applies
for carrying bags (grocery) over the shoulder as well. The study showed that not
only is the shoulder elevated but the body
inclines 6 degrees to the opposite side. If
a purse was carried in the crook of the
arm with the elbow bent, the body bent 9
degrees to the opposite side. If a person
carried a purse in the hand with the arm
parallel to the body, the body bent 12 degrees to the opposite side. This walking
imbalance can create all kinds of pains
from the feet to the neck. The study was
of purses but it really applies to anything
we carry; luggage, grocer
bags, backpacks,
canvas bags etc.
The
second
thing to be
aware of is
a concept in
physics called
torque.
Basically, if you carry
something next to
your body, your body
thinks you are carrying
an item with the weight
of the item. If you carry
something away from
your body, you must multiply the weight
of the item with the distance from your
body. This is now the weight that is being applied to your body. I have simplified the concept but it is why we open
doors away from the hinges as opposed
to where the door connects to the wall.
If you take a 10 pound object and lift
and put it in front of your stomach
feel the 10 pounds and it´s effect
on your body. Now hold the same
object with your arms parallel to the
floor. You will immediately understand torque. Torque stresses our
body on a daily basis. The average
weight of the head is 7 Kg., and if we
have poor posture (ears in front of
the shoulders instead of over them)
we are exerting torque on our necks
and upper backs. If you have any
stomach that is not flat, if you bend
at the waist instead of bending your
knees, you are applying torque to
7
your lower back.
In an ideal world, which does not exist for
your body, you would bend your knees
to pick things up. Try to maintain the 3
curves you have in your spine. Lift the
item near your body and directly in front
of you. You would carry the item with
your elbows bent 90 degrees with the
item right in front of you. This is the ideal
carrying position. If we could do this from
childhood we would have a chance to reduce many of the injuries that we have all
experienced. Good Luck.

orado fishing is going great right now
out around Mazatlan. The fishermen have
caught a whopping 282
Dorados, ranging in size
from 15 to 60 pounds.
Our boats have been
catching anywhere from 1 to 15 fish, with
lures and bait both working well. The
best catch results for Dorado were found
around 3-5 miles offshore. Ninety percent
of fishing charters caught Dorado, making it our number one sports fish again
this September.
Yellow-fin tuna catches were also good
at Mazatlan, with thirty-five percent of
Mazatlan anglers finding tuna in the 20
to 30 pound class, giving us a total of
107 fish.
Fishing the inshore waters around
Mazatlan produced red snappers, yellow
snappers and skipjacks.
The Dorado and Yellow-fin tuna fishing
was far superior to Marlin
catches. Striped marlin
gave a fair showing,
and they were found in
diverse locations.
Marlin weights were from
110 to 160 pounds and
dead bait was what they
preferred. There were a
few stray sailfish to be had
also; these took lures and
dead bait.
Just forty two percent of
charters found billfish, despite an overall catch success rate of ninety percent
for all species combined.
We were a bit surprised
at the lack of blue marlin, but hope they
put in an appearance in time for the
upcoming October fishing tournaments.
No boat caught more than one billfish in
a single day.23°12’N 106°25’W

BANKING
Most 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. At press time,
these are their policies: BANCOMER does
not exchange cash to pesos. From 9am
to 2pm, they will cash travelers´checks
with your passport up to a $1,000 maximum daily. BANAMEX will cash travelers’
checks from 9 am to 2 pm daily to a maximum of $450 with your passport. They will
also exchange US and Canadian dollars
for pesos. BANORTE will only accept dollars and travelers’ checks for deposit (pesos) in an account. HSBC does not cash
American or Canadian dollars to pesos,
nor cash travelers’ checks. SANTANDER
only cashes travelers´checks if they are
deposited into your account. They do not
cash American or Canadian dollars. SCOTIA BANK does not cash travelers´checks,
but will cash US and Canadian dollars to a
maximum of $300. Debit card and credit
card cash advances are available 24 hours
daily at ATMs only. Please note the Bank
of Mexico has increased the fee of withdrawals at ATMs ranging from 17 to 36
pesos. To avoid hassles, exchange American or Canadian cash (no coins) at a casa
de cambio—money exchange. You may
get a lower exchange rate, but you will
get pesos.

MONEY EXCHANGE
Several casas de cambio can help you
change dollars (and occasionally other
currencies) for pesos. Casa rates are
sometimes not as good a deal as the
banks (usually by a few cents) but they are
generally open longer hours with much
shorter lines. Some hotels offer exchange
services.
PHONING HOME
Although hotels can assist with long distance calls, dialing direct can be expensive. Call collect or bill the call to a calling
card for the best rates. Dial 090 to reach a
TELMEX international operator and ask for
an English speaking operator. When calling cell phones, dial 044669 before the
number. Most phones work by using LADATEL cards, which can be purchased at
various supermarkets for 30 or 50 pesos.

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
Francisco Madero Herrera
Businessman and Philanthropist Extraordinaire
1929 – 2013
It’s rare for one man to be a successful entrepreneur
of multiple businesses in a variety of commerce – all
the while maintaining the loyalty and respect of his
employees – and respect of businessmen throughout
his community, state and country.
But that was the case with esteemed Mazatlan businessman Francisco “Pancho”
Madero Herrera who died July 30 at the age of 83.
Senor Madero – a genius in knowing how, when and where to start a business –
and with whom to partner – surrounded himself with trusted employees whom
he treated so well, most regarded him more like a friend than an employer.
It was that profound combination of business savvy that, by the time of his
death, enabled him to employ over 500 people in more than 20 businesses and
for him to be praised throughout the community as, “there will never be another
equal to him in business or in friendship.”
Yet, for all his financial successes, Senor Madero was an uncomplicated gentleman who thought more about how to help others – especially life’s poor and
innocent – and the value of family.
And it was his down-to-earth attitude and approachability that endeared him
to the entire Mazatlan municipality – in every facet of life. He operated his
holdings from a small, unassuming office, preferred to visit over coffee – and a
good cigar, lived humbly with discretion, often wearing a simple while shirt and
casual trousers.
Born in Mexico City in 1929, he married Natalia (Talita) Rodriquez Garcia in 1956
and went into business with his wife’s father, Rodolfo Rodriquez Arnold, owner of
Gas del Pacific.
In 1964, he created Sinaloa’s first television station. Founder of Grupo Alerta,
some of the companies that are part of his consortium include Gaspasa, Chosa
Ceramicas, Hotel Aguamarina Mazatlan, Ford Automotriz Baja Cal, VW Popul Auto
de Mazatlan, Canal 7 Mazatlan, Canal 3 Culiacan, Canal 2 Los Mochis and Ciudad
Obregon.
Senor Madero served on the board of directors of the Catedral de la Inmaculada
Concepcion and oversaw its capital renovation campaign.
He served as president of the board of directors of Father Tovar’s Home for Boys,
Hogar San Pablo and was instrumental in its sustenance and growth over the
years. Often there several days each week, he truly cared about the welfare and
future of each boy and made that known by his presence in their lives and financial backing of the orphanage.
Senor Madero is survived by his wife of 56 years, son Rodolfo Gerardo and
daughters Natalia Sofia and Maria Veronica.
It’s impossible to sum up in one tribute the total greatness of Francisco Madero
Herrera – who spent his entire life improving life for others. On behalf of the entire
Pacific Pearl staff, we join this community in mourning the loss of Senor Madero,
his work ethics and kindness towards others. And, most important, we offer our
sincere condolences to his family, to whom he was immensely proud and lovingly
devoted.

How to Behave in the
Presence of the Elderly
-Robert Bloch
Bette Shwartz
T
here are many “little
insults” which are
innocently offered as
expressions of concern,
but often result in negative responses on the part
of “we elderly receivers.”
They tend to damage
our self-image. Given enough of them,
our health suffers, and without a doubt
shorten our reasonably contented life
span. One example is someone asking
how old you are, a subject I pursued
in the May/June 2013 issue of Pacific
Pearl; another is “..because we care
for you” which usually follows as an
apology after we elderly have been cautioned against doing something which
any five year old child knows he should
or shouldn’t do.
It is familiar to all of us as one of the
illustration by Ignacio Osuna Garcia
lessons taught to us by our parents. “It
is snowing outside, so put your boots
on!” “Did you remember to shut the
refrigerator door?” “Eat your oatmeal,
it’s good for you!”
One winter evening a group of us
were sitting around at Puerto Viejo in
Centro Historico, having a glass of vino
tinto. It was cool and there were a
few complaints about the wind. I was
quite comfortable, but suddenly one
of the women pulled off her scarf and
handed it to me, cautioning me that I
really needed to keep my head warm.
I declined and graciously thanked her;
but the others murmured things about
agreeing with her and assured me they
were trying to keep me from catching
cold because “we care for you.”
What message did I get? Well, dummy
me! Here I am 90 years old so I don’t
remember how to take care of myself!
How did they think I got to be this age,
anyway?
So, while I am thankful there are still
people who “care for me,” I had felt I
had been scissored out of the group
photo, placed in my own little album,
and left on the coffee table for visitors
to thumb through.
I asked my Mexican friends if there
was anything equivalent to “we care
for you” in their culture. “No,” they
answered. “We care, of course, but we
show it, we never say it. It’s part of being a Latin.”
All my Mexican friends squash me with
big bear hugs and caution me to lock
my door, watch the stairs, and stay out
of the sun. I never let them think I mind
because I know they are just making
suggestions. When my Mexican friends
point out things I need to do for myself,
they know that I am either going to do
them or I’m not. Secretly, I don’t mind
because I really didn’t understand their
Spanish, so I can go on doing what I
was doing.
There are several other “little insults”
that fit into the category of “caring.” For
instance, how would you feel if someone asked if you needed help blowing
out the candles on your birthday cake?
Or offered to cut your meat for you?
My grandmother used to say: “Don’t
need it, don’t want it and don’t treat me
as though I were addlepated.”
I am, of course, grateful that people
care, as opposed to people who have
no sense of sympathy or consideration.
This is especially true where many of
today’s young people are concerned. A
friend of mine had to hobble along with
a walker for awhile and one day, as she
was walking along Olas Altas, she came
up to a group of girls who were taking
up the entire sidewalk as they put on
their skates. Not one of them moved
aside for her and she had to walk into
the street to pass by them.
One twelve-year-old was puzzled to
learn that I have a computer and a printer, but then giggled with complete understanding because I don’t know how
to download music into my ear. You
see, it isn’t that I am a “computer illiterate.” When I bought my first computer
many years ago, the programs came
with big manuals. As the years went by,
I was left with “help” keys that really
didn’t help me at all to get a complete
picture of all the bells and whistles.
So, because of my impatience I confess
I am outdated in today’s cyberworld.
I think my real world wisdom is not.
After all, we graduated from college
without Google and Wikipedia? How
many of you can say that?
Those “...we care for you” declarations
are just negative reminders that we are
old, implying we were never ever as
smart as today’s “care” giver. Actually,
we should be the ones reminding them
to wash their faces, brush their teeth
and put a condom in their pocket!

Drink your Vitamins
If the drug industry came up with a
chemical that could cut your risk of rheumatoid arthritis in half, you can bet your
joints they’d patent it and charge you a
knee and an elbow for it.
Luckily, that chemical already exists and
it’s been off-patent and available generically for a few thousand years. And odds
are, you’re taking it right now -- especially
if you’ve been following my advice,
because this time-tested “drug” is plain
old booze.
Now, a new study of 34,000 Swedish
women finds that those who enjoy more
than three drinks a week are 52 percent
less likely to get the painful joint condition than party-pooping teetotalers.
that causes the inflammation specifically
linked to rheumatoid.
It’s not just rheumatoid and it’s not just
women. A steady booze habit comes
with more benefits than I can list here.
Men and women alike who drink have
a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, dementia, and diabetes, just to name a few.
Moderate drinkers even live longer, too.
And some people have the nerve to call
this a guilty pleasure? Drink up -- and
don’t feel guilty about it at all.
Guilt-free,
William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.
“Men and women alike who
drink have a lower risk of heart
disease, stroke, dementia, and
diabetes, just to name a few”
No mystery behind this one. Rheumatoid
is an autoimmune disorder in which the
immune system turns on its own body,
but “vitamin booze” can actually get the
immune system to behave itself (and not
just when it comes to rheumatoid, which
is why alcohol is one of my all-time favorite cure-alls).
In addition, rheumatoid goes hand-inhand with inflammation -- and a moderate drinking habit is one of the best ways
to slash overall levels of inflammation as
well as inhibit production of the protein
