[News Boquete] IRENE HAINES UPDATE, MONDAY 29 JUNE

Irene is doing a LITTLE bit better today.  She had a slight setback over the weekend, but has overcome that.  She is still has the ventilator tube, but the ventilator itself was turned off when I saw her and she was breathing on her own.  Her heart rate is just where it should be.  She still is seriously ill, but doing a little better today.

On the other hand, I was asked to stop in Administration where I was told that Irene's current balance is $22,669.34.  This does NOT include medications or other charges -- this is just for the bed.  Her ICU bed costs $500 per day.  While she does have insurance, it is hospital policy to require the patient share be paid while she is still in hospital. 

The hospital told me that they need a MINIMUM of $5000 by Tuesday (tomorrow) or they will have to transfer Irene to the public hospital.  Medically speaking, I don't want to see her transferred until she is out of the Intensive Care Unit.  I will be at the Tuesday market receiving any donations and will go directly from there to the hospital business office.

I know this is a huge sum, and it scares me, too.  But I love and respect Irene enough to ask -- again -- for your help.

Brandy Gregory

[News Boquete] Five Ways Criminals Size You Up as a Potential Victim

An event like the recent burglary of our good friends Rich and Dee and the tragic missing of their dogs, affords us an opportunity to once again think about our own security and how we can keep ourselves safe and healthy in Panama.

We all protect our health in many ways - wear our seatbelts, brush our teeth, eat healthy food, get exercise, go to the doctor and so on. We consider this prudent preventative maintenance for a healthy life. But becoming a crime victim is one of the most health-threatening events we can experience, right up there with a serious car accident or a heart attack. Even if the burglary is not violent, the mental trauma is devastating and leaves scars that can last a lifetime. 

So doing a little "preventative maintenance" to improve our personal/home security is a very good idea. Below is a short excerpt from the material I use in my security seminars. With a basic understanding of how crime works we can easily protect ourselves from becoming victims - without being paranoid or living in a prison.

It begins with understanding how the bad guys size you up as a target. 

1) No perimeter defense

This is the number one security failure that makes you attractive to criminals. If they can just walk up to your house, and check out what you have inside, how many people live there and watch you going to bed from outside your bedroom window, you are all set up to become a victim. 

Motion sensor lights and all kinds of perimeter alarms should be your first priority in improving your security. Modern motion sensor alarms are wireless, easy to install, don't require wiring or power and are very reliable. 

Your perimeter defense should maximize deterrence - advertise your security and convince the bad guys to just move on. If the bad guys can see that you have well placed and believable security cameras, whether they work or not, motion sensor lights, a visible alarm siren, etc., they are very likely to just move on down the road. An effective deterrence can prevent crime at a fraction of the cost of brute force defenses like impenetrable walls or heavy duty window bars. 

2) Easy entry/exit

If they can walk right up to your house and examine  doors, windows, bars etc. they will find a weak point that allows them to easily get into your house. Even though it is a little more work, window bars can easily be pried open with a simple car jack so that one person can wiggle in. After that, he opens a door from the inside and your stuff is on the way to David or beyond. 

Eliminating this weakness involves everything from perimeter deterrents and alarms to installing double-key deadbolts on entry  doors, as recommended by all security experts. The new electronic deadbolts give us yet more options for securing entry doors. 

3) Desirable valuables in plain sight

Amazing as it may seem, some people live in houses with big picture windows and no curtains. If a criminal (or a yard worker) can see into those windows, either from close proximity or from a road, then your house is nothing but a display case of desirable merchandise. The shoppers will come to visit when they have knowledge of what you have available for the taking.  

Same goes for the interior of your house. If maids, gardeners or other workers can see that your valuable stuff is easily accessible, there is a strong possibility that one of them will, at some time, sell you out. 

4) Easy to predict occupancy - beware of workers in the area!

This is the number one way to become a crime victim! A worker on a job site near your house observes your movements for a day or two. When he knows there are two people in the house and they go on shopping trips together, the stage is set. He makes a cell phone call to the burglar in waiting and before you get back from PriceSmart, your stuff is gone - for Rich and Dee, including their dogs. If there are workers in the area, even for only a day, you cannot safely leave your house unattended!

There are a number of things you can do to reduce predictability and make it appear that the house is occupied, thus reducing the threat of break ins. 

5) Lack of any visible defense

When a burglar drives by your house, what do they see? No fence - no gate - no security lights - no cameras - no signage - no bars. Looks good. Let's come back when they leave and make a hit. To them, it says you don't really own your property and are not worthy of respect, just as muggers identify their victims by the way they walk and dogs attack people they know know are afraid of them.

You may have the world's best alarm system for detecting a break-in and calling your cell phone, but by then it is too late. Once inside the house, they know that nothing is likely to happen for at least ten minutes, plenty of time to do the job. Do everything you can do to keep them off your property and away from your house.

[News Boquete] Berkey Water Purifiers...Healthy Living starts with clean water

 

Berkey Water Purifiers

                                                          The gold standard in personal water purification.

 

Here in Boquete we are fortunate to have crystal clear spring water. No chemical treatments, no flouridation...just delicious clean mountain water BUT this water then runs down into pvc piping which is usually laid on the surface of the land. We have all seen so many times little "fountains" squirting up along the side of a road. Cause for possible contamination and now that water is questionable.

Take control and provide yourself and your family with sanitized healthy water.

 

·        Ideal system to have on hand in the event of a natural disaster such as blackouts, floods, earthquakes as well as   local or national emergencies when tap water is not available.

·        No electricity is needed to purify water. No chemicals or additives are used.

·        Any water at all (except seawater) can be sanitized. So if your water system is down due to a power outage you can   collect any water and run it through the berkey filters and you will have water for all of your needs.

·        You are in complete control of your own water source.

Big Berkey System: 2.8 gallons of water  $285.00

Royal Berkey System: 3 gallons of water  $315.00

 

Visit me, Stacey Singer, at Berkey Water System distributor at the Tuesday Morning Market. I am in the Hex Room from 9:00 until 11:30. 

Or contact me at 6866-9399 Or email me at info@airoasispanama.com.

[News Boquete] Expat Study (including Boquete) With Surprising Results Released

The research study "Expats: Expectations and Reality" is ready for free download.  Readers of News Boquete will find the study to be especially interesting because so many of you participated in the survey we used to create it.

​

The study reports expats' responses to everything from why expats moved overseas, to did they achieve what they were looking for, to fears (both real and unrealized), happiness, stress, lifestyle, advice, comments, and everything in between, including stories and a good amount of humor. 

• Expats will find it fun reading and also to see if you agree or disagree.  (If you took the survey, you may even find your own comments or those of your friends.) 

• People considering moving overseas will find it a "must read."  The study reveals the good and the bad about moving overseas, and the real expat experience as told by real expats.  (Spoiler alert: there are lots of things you probably didn't know and that will surprise you.)
  

We want everyone to benefit from the study, so if you represent a business or a non-profit, you are free to use all or part of the study in your presentations or to give out to anyone you'd like, subject to the Rights to Distribute on page 13.

 

If you find the study useful, please share it!  Anyone can download the study free of charge at:
