    Proving kinship is done all the time. For example, our friend Irene Haines who died in Panama without a will but clearly wanted her sister to inherit everything. The sister had to submit birth certificates for both her and Irene showing the same parents. She also had to submit a divorce certificate for Irene to show there was no spouse. Then there is the advertisement asking for other related parties to come forward. It's not foolproof but it's the best system we have. Remember when Howard Hughes died and all of a sudden, lots of relatives came out of the bushes.

    A friend who has consignment items at Casa Decor went by to check on them yesterday. She found the place locked up tight and she is believing they have closed their doors for good. Anybody have any information on this? If it's the case, everybody who has an item in the store will have a difficult time getting it back (or getting paid).

    I have a sneaking suspicion that people ignore the arrows in the street because it makes no sense to not allow left turns at that intersection. I have to confess that I have ignored the airrows quite frequently. Also, having a "no left turn" sign or painting on the street is a lot more effective than just the lack of an arrow. Reminds me of when I got a ticket in David for making an illegal left turn. I said to the policeman, "but officer, there's no sign prohibiting a left turn." He knowingly turned to me and said, "Ah, but there's no sign permitting it." Got me there and I paid the $75 ticket.

    I agree with Keith. If the insurance company can no longer deny coverage to holders who violate the terms of the contract, the premiums for all of us will rise.

    To find Radio Chiriqui and listen to the new English language show on the internet is much easier than the above writer made it out to be. Simply go to www.radiochiriqui.com, scroll down and on the right side you will see "103.3 en vivo" . Just click on that and you're listening to live radio.

    The radio show was great -- especially Rudy the naughty wonder dog.

    I thought Cubans were also one of the restricted nationalities but I might be wrong. Sounds similar to what is being argued in the US Supreme Court starting today.

    Just on the news this morning (May 30), Panama strongman Manuel Noriega is dead. From AOL News: Panama dictator Manuel Noriega, ousted in US invasion, dies at 83 Elida Moreno May 30th 2017 5:48AM X PANAMA CITY, May 30 (Reuters) - Former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega, who spied for the United States before his drug trafficking and brutality triggered a U.S. invasion to oust him in 1989, has died aged 83. President Juan Carlos Varela announced Noriega's death on Twitter late on Monday, and said his passing marked the closing of a chapter in the Central American country's history. Ruling Panama from 1983 to 1989, Noriega was a longtime collaborator of the Central Intelligence Agency and a useful U.S. ally in a region that was prone to leftist insurgencies.

    Remember that one of the people who lost thousands in the safety box caper has been threatened with a slander suit on the basis she spoke about her situation to friends before she filed a denuncia. Also, news.boquete has been threatened by the same people with a legal suit because it disseminated an email defaming this business. It remains to be seen if any of these law suits were actually filed. As of today, they haven't been served. Scary, scary stuff.

    First of all, Dr. Angulo's office is adjacent to the SENADIS office on the upper floor. Second of all, I consider myself an above average black jack player. Having been booted out of two Las Vegas casinos for card counting puts me into that category.

    Bud, it might be easier for people if you said the entrance to the Brencan building is across the street from the Slot Casino and next to a parking lot. The parking lot used to be $.50/hour but it's now $1.00 an hour. Still worth it.

    UNACHI is the initials for the Autonomous University of Chiriqui which at one time was a branch of the University of Panama. It is generally acknowledged to be the best university in Chiriqui and the only publicly funded school. All of the others are "for profit" and generally are more interested in the check clearing than flunking anybody out. I just noticed a large billboard in the field across from the new gas station under construction in front of Skateworld. It apparently is the location for a future UNACHI campus. UNACHI currently conducts some classes at night at the local high school in Alto Boquete but the offering is limited. It would be a real blessing to Boquete when this campus is completed.

    Just an FYI. There are two programs coming up at the Tuesday Talks at BCP that might provide some answers. On June 6, I have JR Pazo, (with Health Alliance Panama and We Care Pharmacies) who is in charge of all things medical for U.S. veterans in Chiriqui. And, on July 25, I have Irma Castillo Smith from Keep it Simple Panama to introduce a new health insurance company starting to do business in Chiriqui. I understand this company will insure the older population we have here. I guess we all have to understand that we use more medical (and insurance) resources as we age.

    Saw the fireworks last night about 7 or 7:30 PM while eating dinner at Restaurante Baru.

    I was saddened to hear of Smith's passing after suffering injuries in a motorcycle accident. Condolences to his wife Lisa. Smitty and Lisa reside in Panamonte Estates.

    Personally, I enjoy the articles sent out by Chuck Bolotin. They're both entertaining and occasionally informative.

    This is a matching set that's been heavily used. They probably would need to be re-covered. If you choose not to recover, one cushion on the sofa needs to be repaired.. The Boquete Handicap Foundation are selling these. Despite the photos, they are a matching set. We want $70 for the love seat and $35 for the sofa or $100 for the set. You can stop by the Handicap Foundation in Alto Boquete (just north of the new social security clinic under construction) to view these.For more information, email pjbarrett@aol.com

    Before I start I must say that I love the library and how it contributes to the community. But there is a major thing that makes me see red every time I pass by and see all the cars parked along the street. The library took a perfectly good through street and blocked it off with flower pots. It sits there being totally useless. Could they not have used it for parking? If not for parking, let the cars continue through it to and from Main Street. They say they are keeping it for special events. In the many years the library has been open I've only seen a couple of special events utilize this space. If they were planning a special event, then block it off and let the population use it for travel or parking the rest of the time. I think it's quite arrogant of them for doing this.
