Community and Athletic Complex in Los Barriles By: Ken Phillips
Todays Funny’s A woman goes to the doctor worried about her husband’s temper. The doctor askes “what is the problem”. The woman says “Doctor, I don’t know what to do. Every Day my husband seems to lose his temper for no reason, and it really scares me”. The doctor says “I have a cure for that. When it seems, your husband is getting angry, just take a glass of water in your mouth. Don’t swallow it, just swish and swish it around in your mouth until he calms down or leaves the room”.
Over the past several years there has been talk about a future Community/Athletic complex. We know talk is cheap, but this rumor is finally on the way to becoming a reality. The property is approximately 16 1/2 acres and consists of two parcels; one for community buildings and the other for the athletic fields. Thanks to the hard work of our mayor Francis Olachea and the La Paz Municipal President Armando Martinez Vega, the property has been deeded to the community of Los Barriles. The preliminary plans of the park have been drawn up (subject to change) and will be submitted to President Armando Martinez Vega, who will then submit them to the Governor of Baja. If approved by the Governor, it will be placed in the budget for funding. The complex is located off the "by-pass road" on the north-side of where the current soccer field and baseball fields are located. This is just the beginning of a long process to complete the complex. It will require lots of money and volunteers to finish the job. When accomplished, the new athletic complex will give our neighbors a place to play, enjoy the arts, and gather for meetings. This is a huge undertaking for our community and if you are interested in helping (either financially, or by volunteering time) contact Ken Phillips at bajadays@aol.com. Future updates will be provided as available.
Two weeks later the woman comes back to the doctor looking fresh and reborn. The woman says “Doctor, that is a brilliant idea! Every time my husband started losing it, I just swished and swished with the water, and he calmed right down. How does a glass of water do that?” The Doctor said “The water itself does nothing, it is keeping your mouth shut that does the trick”. My husband says the above would help him too…!!??!!…
“The doctor will be with you in a few minutes. He’s trying to figure out what disease goes with your insurance.”
