Big Rains in Sayulita
By Colin Barnett

Last Sunday & Tuesday nights' storms were particularly spectacular, people were outside taking photos and on the phone to friends, "Wow did you catch that one!"

The river is now running steadily - what is the book on the one-legged pedestrian bridge lasting the summer - Calle Gaviotas has turned into a mud wrestling venue, Calle Pelicano "The New Malecon" has been dammed- just where does all that mud & sand covering Revelucion come from? - and on the north-side of the river the hillside dirt roads are all torn up, and Calle Las Palmas has as much water flowing down it as the Rio now ain't that a surprise!

Domingo y martes por la noche 'tormentas son especialmente espectaculares, la gente son fuera tomando fotos y el teléfono a sus amigos, "Wow ¿de captura que uno!"
El río está ahora funcionando de manera constante - lo que es el libro en una de las patas puente peatonal duradera el verano - Calle Gaviotas se ha convertido en un lugar de lucha de lodo, Calle Pelicano "El Malecon nuevo " se ha embalso -justo donde hace todo lo que el barro y arena que cubre Revelucion viene? -- Y en el norte y el lado del río la ladera caminos de tierra son todas asoladas, y Calle Las Palmas tiene la mayor cantidad de agua que fluye hacia abajo como el de Río ahora que no es una sorpresa!

New Sayulita Basketball team
By Lindsay Walter

The Sayulita basketball team "Los Jaibos" was formed two months ago, although there has been a desire from the current players to create such a team for a very long time. Not long ago, there was nowhere for players to practice and it seemed as though in order to join a basketball team you'd have to go to San Francisco (San Pancho.)

In May of this year a teacher at the primary school, Jose Reyes Parra, let players use the basketball court at the school after hours for practice. Since then, more and more team mates have joined including a few players from San Francisco. "Los Jaibos" now consists of 12 players in total and the team captain, Jose Luis Chavez, has signed the team up to play for the Municipal open league, which includes teams from the Bay of Banderas and Puerto Vallarta. Once a week, the team goes to Puerto Vallarta to play in a tournament which will last from now until the end of the year.

"Los Jaibos" players have mentioned that they have received a lot of support from local businesses including Don Pedros, Sayulita Investment Realty, Las Alas Blancas, Las Hamacas and Choco Banana. These sponsors have helped with the cost of uniforms and the necessary equipment in order to continue representing Sayulita in the Municipal league. The team players appreciate support from the community and they hope the town continues to encourage more activities and sports groups for people of all ages in Sayulita.

El equipo Sayulita de Baloncesto conocido como "Los Jaibos" se formo hace solo 2 meses, aunque los jugadores querían un equipo del pueblo desde hace mucho tiempo. Antes de formar el equipo, los jugadores no tenían donde practicar y parecía que la única opción para jugar era ir a San Francisco (San Pancho) para integrarse a un equipo.

En Mayo de este año uno de los maestros en la primaria, José Reyes Parra, dejo que los jugadores utilizaran la cancha en la escuela ya que estaba cerrada por la tardes. Desde entonces mas personas se han unido al equipo incluyendo jugadores de San Pancho. En la actualidad el equipo consiste en 12 jugadores que están buscando a mas personas que quieren unirse a ellos. No hay límite de edad. El Capitán del equipo, Jose Luis Chaves registro "Los Jaibos" en una liga abierta que incluye equipos de Bahía de Banderas y de Puerto Vallarta. Una vez a la semana van a Puerto Vallarta a jugar en un torneo que durara hasta finales del año.

Los jugadores de "Los Jaibos" comentan que han recibido mucho apoyo de varios negocios locales incluyendo Don Pedros, Sayulita Investment Realty, Las Alas Blancas, Las Hamacas y Choco Banana. Estos patrocinadores han ayudado a costear los uniformes y el equipo necesario para continuar representando a Sayulita en la liga municipal. Los jugadores agradecen el apoyo de la comunidad y esperan que el pueblo siga generando nuevas actividades y deportes para la gente de todas edades en Sayulita.
