    Sent to Rodny Direct members yesterday
     
    First of all, we want to wish every one of our members, new and old, and everyone in the Boquete community, a great Christmas and New Year. 
    We have been blessed with a relatively quiet 2016 crime scene in Boquete. However, Christmas is prime time for robbers and burglars, so we need to pass on some important information for your safety.
    Thanks to the Panamanian grapevine, I have learned that Panama City gangs are organizing to attack both Panamanian and expat homes in Chiriqui over the Christmas - New Years holidays. The police are well aware of this problem and are beefing up their defenses. You need to do the same.
    We know, for example, that the gangs are recruiting local youths to act as spotters - to identify vulnerable residences and watch the activities of the residents. When you leave for that Christmas party, the spotter calls it in and you come home to find your Christmas big screen gone. 
    Be very aware of who might be watching your house and especially who sees you coming and going. No car in the driveway is a dead giveaway that all the owners are gone. 

    Return of Slim to Las Brisas
    Some of you might remember earlier this year that a very thin robber entered an occupied house in Emerald Drive through a one foot square opening in otherwise very secure burglar bars. Subsequently, several burglaries were attempted, apparently by The Slim Gang. Alert residents spotted and photographed some presumed gang members and their activity dropped off. 
    Last weekend, Gwen Manning, one of the first and most stalwart members of Rodny Direct, had her house attacked at 1:30 in the morning while she was home and awake, packing for a trip. She found a very tall, thin robber, dressed all in black, reaching through her burglar bars and using a long stick to fish out her purse (empty). 
    Gwen is no shrinking violet and is well prepared. She immediately grabbed her community alert walkie-talkie and summoned help. You can read the rest in her attached report, which is excellent, detailed and a model for a crime report. She has agreed to let me publish it for the benefit of the community.
    The key to being safe in your house is knowing when anyone enters your yard or approaches your house. Security lights, simple perimeter alarms and controlled access are all effective ways of making sure you are never surprised.
    Be safe and have a merry Christmas,

    For immediate release
     
    Rodny Direct Member Services announces:
     
    Health Discount Benefits for Rodny Direct members and their families
     
     
    Hospital Mae Lewis is offering Rodny Direct members a 20% discount on all hospital services, such as room rates, MRIs, ultrasounds, CAT scans, X-rays, lab work and more. It costs you nothing above your normal $80 annual Rodny Direct membership. 
     
    This 20% discount is valid for all Rodny Direct members regardless of pre-exiting conditions or age. There is a 22% discount on the list price of medications. The discounts include the normal jubilado discount. But for those who are not jubilado, the full 20% is in effect. 
     
    These discounts at Mae Lewis hospital begin January 1, 2017 and will be reviewed as to success in April 2017. Mae Lewis reserves the right to cancel the program on May 1, 2017. However, if the program succeeds as we expect, it will be continued thereafter.
     
    You may know that Rodny works closely with Irma Castillo Smith from Keep It Simple Panama to put this program in place and help manage hospital issues. Her consulting fee is $25 per hour, discounted to $15 for Rodny Direct members with the first hour free. Irma can also work for you as an advocate to obtain discounts from physicians who are not currently part of this plan. 
     
    Rodny is not authorized to publish the Mae Lewis price list, but if you need prices for procedures, call Irma or Gloria. They have all the current information.
     
    This discount program is the first that we are announcing. It is possible because of your power as part of the Rodny Direct membership group. It costs you nothing above your normal $80 annual Rodny Direct membership. 
     
     
    Summary:
    Hospital Mae Lewis - All hospital-provided services are discounted for Rodny Direct members - including pharmacy, MRI and CAT scans, room rates etc.  No additional charge to RD members Covers your entire family under your $80 per year Rodny Direct membership Class A facilities, English-speaking staff No age or pre-existing condition restrictions In association with Keep It Simple Panama, your personal medical advocate if you so desire Simple, secure, professional online registration - no paperwork or Spanish contract to sign

    Necesitamos alertar a todos los residentes de Alto Boquete sobre la actividad confirmada de una banda de robo que opera en este sector. Según los informes, han sido responsables de más de 6 robos de viviendas de propiedad panameños en la zona. La policía está investigando, pero necesita su ayuda.
     
    Si ve algo fuera de lo común, por favor llame inmediatamente a la Policía Nacional al 104 o 720-2145. Su  información será confidencial.
     
    Se sospecha que la pandilla está usando una camioneta con equipo de jardinería en el vagón. Creemos que están utilizando esto como una fachada para identificar las casas que pueden ser robadas mientras los dueños no están. Si usted ve este pick up sospechoso, o se acercan a ofrecerle servicios de jardinería, o cualquier otra cosa sospechosa, tome una foto del pick up y la placa. Y llame al 104 o 720-2145
     
    En particular, usted necesita obtener cédulas de cualquier trabajador en su propiedad. Y tenga precaución de personas tatuadas que pueden pertenecer a pandillas. Esto es muy importante.
     
    ¡Gracias de antemano por tu ayuda! Los ciudadanos alertas han impedido muchos casos como estos en el pasado.

    One of the great strengths of the Rodny Direct Helpline service is its association with the Panama Helpline in Coronado. Both organizations use the same professional database technology and are inter-operable so that one system can back up the other. 
    Last Friday, October, 29, Rodny, doing night backup for Panama Helpline, received a call at 10:42PM from a member who reported a robber attempting to break into their home. With their Coronado resident ID, Rodny was able to call the Coronado police and direct them immediately to the scene of the crime in progress. The robbery was foiled and once again demonstrates the robustness and value of the Rodny Direct Helpline system.

    I want to announce that as of January 4, 2015, my contract with Alto al Crimen has be terminated by mutual agreement. I will no longer be answering the old hotline phone number, nor will I use the old database maintained by AAC.
     
    The end of this contract allows me to provide much improved service to our community in 2016.

    Rodny Direct Fast Facts
    How long has Rodny Direct been in business?
    My helpline service started in 2010 - five years ago. I have established close working relations with police, bombers, tow trucks, ambulances etc. not only in Chiriqui but throughout Panama. When I call, they respond.
    What is in your personal profile and how private is it? 
    Your personal profile contains any and all information that might be important to keep you safe in an emergency - from doctors and medications to family contacts, lawyers and even your pet sitter if you desire. 
    Privacy for your personal data is of the utmost importance. Only you can log in, view and change your personal information. Rodny only accesses your information as necessary when you experience an emergency. It is stored in a secure, encrypted online database, not on a personal computer. 
    How can you provide 24-7-365 service?
    I have a close working relationship with the Panama Helpline in Coronado which also used the methods I have developed. We can back each other up and together provide service for a large part of the country.
