[News Boquete] Forget learning Spanish learn to speak dog


Hello Boquete Dog lover,
my name is Alex Bornemann, founder of K9Boquete. Many of you may know me from my work with animal rescue, dog training or other canine activities. If you have not heard of me, even better, I love getting to know other dog lovers in and around Boquete.
I am a certified Dog trainer and behaviour specialist and have been living in Boquete for 5 years. So far most of my work has been with rescue groups and through private lessons as I am never in Boquete for too long at a time. I am happy to announce that I will be offering a set of group lessons in basic obedience. The lessons will start Sunday February 2nd and will be held once a week for 7 weeks in Volcancito, Boquete for a total cost of 70$. The planned time of instruction is from 10 am until 11 am but I am willing to adjust to students' needs.
During the course you will learn how to effectively communicate with your dog through obedience training. We use reward-based motivational training to help you bring out the best in your best friend. Classes include practical exercises such as come back when called, walk on a loose leash, sit-stay, down-stay, place (boundary-stay), and behavior solutions.
You can find more information on myself and my services at www.k9boquete.com and you can contact me to sign up or to receive more information at info@k9boquete.com or through whatsapp at +507 6320 4047 if the schedule does not work for you or you are looking for tailored solutions, send me an email as well and I'll be happy to assist in any way possible.
Thank you very much and have a great day.

  Moderator: Joanie Feuerstein

Tuesday, February 4 – Dr. Bill McGraw will speak about GMOs

 

What is a GMO anyway? Find out as Dr. Bill gives a detailed and informative description which will set the record straight as he presents just the facts. We are on the verge of a great turning point in the history of genetic modification as for the first time in the United States and elsewhere, we will be consuming a GMO animal grown for food production...Salmon. Did you know that it happened for the first time just up the road at the Boquete trout farm? The idea of using a GMO for food actually has its origin way back in 1972. Dr. Bill will cover all the important points along the way as well as the current perspectives. 

  Moderator: Diane Schramm

Tuesday, February 11 – Boquete Health and Hospice The BHH Healthy Living Series presents Falls Prevention Awareness

Falls are the number one reason people end up in the emergency room. The facts about falls are alarming - and probably surprising:

·         One in three adults over the age of 64 falls each year.

·         Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries in Florida residents over the age of 64.

·         Every hour there are 2 deaths and 251 emergency room visits in the US because of a fall.

·         20 - 30% of older adults who fall sustain serious injury.

·         Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injury, fractures and hospitalization in older adults.

·         Even falls without an injury can limit one's mobility and/or cause a fear of falling.

Come to the BHH presentation on Falls Prevention Awareness to see what you can do to avoid a fall.

Presenter:  Merl Will-Wallace

 

Tuesday, February 18 – Dr. Paul Myers – Geologic of Living in Caldera River Valley – "Living safely in Boquete's rapidly evolving Landscape".   

 

Immigrants attracted to Panama by its ideal climate often remain naively unaware of its unique hidden hazards, many of which can be avoided by knowing the "warning signs" and making wise decisions.  This talk focuses on hazards with a geological connection; volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, and mega-floods.  In general, all of these can be mitigated by living on stable high ground with a sustainable, potable groundwater supply.  

I will show you how to recognize the warning signs using visual examples (slides) from the Boquete area.  

 Moderator:  Sheila Strunk

Tuesday, February 25 - Salvadores de Animales – (SALDEA) – Pet Adoption Service – A talk by members of the group: Diane Englerth, Dilia Luciani, Jeri Siegel and Mary Taft.  This talk has been rescheduled from December.

Moderator: 

Tuesday, March 3 – Dietary Myths That Just Won't Die but may Kill  You – Dr. Ted Harrison.

Does fat make you fat? Are carbs good or bad? Is red meat unhealthy? Will salt give you high blood pressure? Is there any diet that actually works? Should I be taking vitamins? Dr. Harrison will discuss a dozen or so dietary controversies and examine both the evidence and the "fake news".

Dr. Harrison is board-certified in regenerative medicine and emergency medicine.  His practice, Rejuvacare PC, is located in Port Angeles, Washington.

 

Tuesday, March 10 – Quantum Theory for the Layman – Mike Petersen – For more than 100 years, the world of the quantum has been portrayed as being totally weird and mysterious. Richard Feynman, who won a Nobel prize for his work in Quantum Mechanics in 1967, was quoted as saying, "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, then you don't understand quantum mechanics." Well, if a Nobel prize winner says that, what is the layman to do?  Come to this talk, that's what!The quantum world will be explained in terms you can understand, and without using mathematics.

Mike Petersen has a B.S. in mathematics and has loved science, especially cosmology and Quantum Mechanics ever since he can remember. He was a volunteer speaker at more than one planetarium covering topics like Relativity, the Big Bang and more.

[News Boquete] U.S. Embassy - Voting Information


Registering to Vote and Submitting a Ballot

 

Registering to Vote and submitting a ballot is fast, easy, and can be done from anywhere in the world!

 

Start by confirming your voter registration with your state.  Some states require absentee voters to register annually so you may need to re-register.  Go to FVAP.gov to connect to your state's voter portal to register to vote, request a ballot, and more.  Once you confirm your registration, follow a few simple steps to vote in the 2020 U.S. elections:

 

1.   Request Your Ballot: Most states provide the option to request ballots through their state election portals, which you can easily access via FVAP.gov.  You can also choose to complete a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA). The completion of the FPCA allows you to request absentee ballots for all elections for federal offices (President, U.S. Senate, and U.S. House of Representatives) including primaries and special elections during the calendar year in which it is submitted.  FPCA forms that are correctly filled out and include a signature and date are accepted by all local election officials in every U.S. state and territory.  FVAP's easy online assistant can assist you with completing the FPCA. 

Whether you request your ballot through your state's portal or the FPCA, we encourage you to select the option for receiving your ballot electronically (by email, internet download, or fax) when available.  This is the fastest way for you to get your ballot and ensures you have it in time to return a completed form before your state's deadline. 

 

2.   Receive and Complete Your Ballot:  States are required to send out ballots 45 days before a regular election for federal office and states generally send out ballots at least 30 days before primary elections.  Most states allow you to confirm your ballot delivery online.

 

3.   Return Your Completed, Signed Ballot:  Some states allow you to return your completed ballot electronically and others do not.  If your state requires you to return paper voting forms or ballots to local election officials by mail, you can do so through international mail, professional courier service, or through U.S. Embassy Panama's diplomatic pouch.  The diplomatic pouch provides free mail service from embassies and consulates to a U.S. sorting facility.  You will need to place your ballots in postage paid return envelopes or in envelopes bearing sufficient U.S. postage, in order for them to be delivered to the proper local election authorities.

If using the diplomatic pouch, ballots can be dropped off to the American Citizens Services section by Ave. Demetrio Basilio Lakas, building #783, Clayton, Panama City from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Please note that all visitors to the Embassy are subject to security screening and you will not be permitted to bring electronic devices, including cell phones, inside the facility.  Please note that it can take up to fourweeks for mail to reach its destination if sent by an embassy or consulate via diplomatic pouch.  All overseas U.S. citizens are advised to submit their forms and ballots accordingly. 

 

Researching the Candidates and Issues:  Online Resources.  Go to the FVAP links page for helpful resources to aid your research of candidates and issues. Non-partisan information about candidates, their voting records, and their positions on issues are widely available and easy to obtain on-line. You can also read national and hometown newspapers on-line or search the internet to locate articles and information. For information about election dates and deadlines, subscribe to FVAP's Voting Alerts (vote@fvap.gov). FVAP also shares Voting Alerts via Facebook (@DODFVAP), Twitter (@FVAP), and Instagram (@fvapgov).

 

Learn more at the Federal Voting Assistance Program's (FVAP) website, FVAP.gov.  If you have any questions about registering to vote overseas, please contact U.S. Embassy Panama City, Panama at Panama-ACS@state.gov.

[News Boquete] First Clinic, Activities, Amazon Smile and More😻


First Clinic, Activities, Amazon Smile and More😻

The first clinic of the year for Amigos de Animales is coming up on Sunday January 26. As a reminder, our clinics are always on the last Sunday of the month, January through October.

Some statistics: last year we spayed or neutered 2287 animals, 1161 dogs or 50.8% and 1126 cats or 49.2%, bringing our total animals to over 17,000 sterilized since 2005.

To kick off the year and to make sure all our volunteers are ready for the year, we held an information and training session on Wednesday January 15. Everyone was welcomed to Animales and it was noted that 2020 is the 15th year of our clinics and service to the community of Boquete. Then Ruby gave a brief history of the clinics and emphasized the importance of safety and cooperation between the vets, the volunteers, and those who trust us with their animals.

We gave an overview of how the process works and then each station lead spoke about their position and how it fits into the whole system. There are twelve stations that an animal goes through for the clinic, each one of them is vital for the safety and good outcome of that animal. That is why we want to make sure that all our volunteers are prepared and ready to work at whatever area they are in.

Over the next couple months we will look at the stations and how they work in the overall picture and make Animales the outstanding team that it is.

Appointments: Magaly is our appointment secretary and she is always working with the people who wish to register for the next clinic. Note that we do not make reservations or give out times, once a person comes to the clinic on Sunday, it is strictly a first-come/first served basis. But they must first register!

HOW TO REGISTER

Pre-Registration and Data Input: Andy Mitchell spoke about the new registration procedure and all the information that we have been able to access since he computerized the clinic. We can now see who brought the animal in, how much they paid (not everyone can afford our already low costs), where the animal came from, male-female, the age of the animal, which vet worked on what animal and other pertinent information.

Once a registration number is confirmed at the Registration desk, Cary Trantham, enters in their number and begins the tracking of that animal for the entire clinic. Cary takes their money and they are given a tag which identifies that animal from beginning to end.

NEXT MONTH WE WILL LOOK AT OTHER STATIONS IN THE PROCESS


COMING EVENTS

Calendar – 2020 might have just begun, but we are already thinking about 2021. Please contact Alicia if you would like to have your precious pet be a star in our popular calendar. Also, we need someone to secure the ads that provide the extra revenue for the calendar. Let Alicia know.

The next clinic is Sunday January 26. Registration for that clinic is currently closed. We will let you know when we are open for the February 23 clinic.
To volunteer, contact Alicia at akcleavenger@hotmail.com

There will be a short training class for all Recovery volunteers on Saturday the 25th beginning at 10:30.

From the Panama Insider

Boquete Needs You!
By Nanette Witmer 

 
Expats in Boquete feel compelled to give back to the community.
© Declan Aylward

In Boquete, most expats get involved with some form of volunteering. As a new expat, you'll likely feel compelled to engage, and spend some time each week giving back to the community... Topics of conversation at any expat gathering will undoubtedly include events in the volunteer community, and who is doing what.

Many organizations benefit from expats' expertise—skills expats built up in their previous careers can be of great assistance. No matter what your background or interests, you can make a big difference in Boquete by donating your time. Here are some ideas of the kind of volunteer opportunities that exist...

If you love animals, there are several places where you can put your fondness for dogs and cats to good use...

Amigos de Animales is an organization that offers regular spay and neutering clinics. They are always looking for volunteers in different capacities—such as to check in the animals, get the animals ready, give injections, assist the vets, and help with recovery. Training classes are provided and all are welcome. Surgeries are usually performed on the last Sunday of each month.

If you are ready to foster a dog or a cat, check in with Salvadores de Animales, Inc. They house dogs and cats that are not ready for adoption but would benefit from a foster home. These animals may be too young to be adopted out, need time to gain weight, or may need to recover from illness or trauma. They are also looking for volunteers to help with fundraisers, grant writing, legal support, and animal transport.
