Mayors Of The Californias Meet In Ensenada For First Binational Forum
ENSENADA, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO---Government officials from California and Baja California met last week in this port city for the first Binational Forum of Mayors of the Californias.
Shared interests, dependence and friendship of the two areas were the main themes.
The Thursday and Friday session at the historic Riviera cultural and civic center was inaugurated by Baja California Governor Jose Guadalupe Osuna Millan, who noted that Mexico was the primary trading partner for California.
Representatives of Baja’s five cities as well as ones from Santa Ana, West Covina, Signal Hill, South El Monte, Redondo Beach, Fullerton, El Centro and Duarte were among those attending.
Panels focused on topics including the border crossings, tourism, shared culture, history, family ties and economic interests.
Mexicali Mayor Rodolfo Valdez Gutierrez called for improvements to make border crossings faster, stating that current waits are “damaging the economic capacity we have as a region”
Rosarito Beach Mayor Hugo Torres spoke of the importance of promoting more understanding and cooperation among cities in the closely-linked region, and asked California mayors to share their impressions of Baja at home.
“Please go back and tell people what you saw.” he said, noting that some stories about Mexico’s crackdown on organized crime have created the false impression that Baja is not safe for visitors.
Torres since taking office in December of 2007 has been a strong proponent of binational cooperation and understanding between the U.S. and Mexico.
Cooperation between all regional cities was a common theme. “We need to work together, we need to trust in each other,” said South El Monte Mayor Blanca Figueroa.
Added Ed Wilson, vice mayor of Signal Hill: “I am not Hispanic but I consider myself part of the California family.”
Steve Diels, mayor pro tem of Redondo Beach, suggested increasing air transportation between the two Californias while noting: “It is very obvious that we are linked, that we must work together.”
Diels also noted that both Californias have challenges they are facing: “I would like to report to you that we also have problems in L.A.”
Ensenada Mayor Pablo Alejo Lopez Nunez and Santa Ana Mayor Pro Tem Claudia Alvarez were among those who called for ongoing meetings and other actions including possibly forming a binational league of cities with expanded membership.
“We have to get organized,” Alvarez said. “There is much work to be done.”

Rosarito Beach Tourism Hits Summer High
ROSARITO BEACH, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO---Tourism hit its summer high here this past weekend with hotels recording 65 percent occupancy on Friday and 93 percent on Saturday, city and tourism officials said.
The occupancy figures topped even Fourth of July weekend, which was the best weekend of the year to that point.
“It has been a challenging year for tourism so we’re very encouraged to see this ongoing rebound,” Mayor Hugo Torres said of the popular resort city 30 miles of south of San Diego, where the economy is largely dependent on tourism.
Convention & Visitors Bureau President Laura Wong praised both private and government promotional efforts for helping bring about the rebound. Businesses also have been offering some exceptional deals to attract visitors.
A slow U.S. economy has contributed to the decline, but Torres and others say publicity about violence among rival drug cartels and authorities as the Mexican government cracks down on organized crime has been the main factor in the decline.
“But as time passes, people have realized the scattered violence in Mexico does not affect them nor is it anything they will even see,” Torres said.
“Tourists are not targets. In fact, our visitors are safer and more secure than ever, and they’re passing that information on to friends and relatives who in turn are coming to visit us and having a wonderful time.”
Rosarito’s estimated 14,000 expatriate residents also have helped greatly in getting the positive and accurate message out about the attractions and benefits of the seaside city, the mayor said.
“We look forward to an even stronger rebound as more people realize this,” he said. “We still have ground to gain to reach our past level of tourism and repair the economic damage that has hit many of our businesses and residents.”
Rosarito last year started a special Tourist Police Force, city office for tourist assistance and created an ombudsman to help visitors with any problems.

SEMBLANZA DE CARLOS CUEVAS
El 1º de Diciembre de 1990, ante un público latino que lo aplaude extasiado y nostálgico en Las Vegas, Nevada, gana la fase internacional del Festival OTI y desde entonces no ha parado de trabajar incansablemente, cantando por convicción y no por moda el bolero por todo México y varios países de habla hispana, respetando este género musical e interpretándolo como es, sin deformar su esencia, aunque eso sí, con un toque actual, porque todo tiene que evolucionar y actualizarse.
En su afán de difusión del Bolero, ha hecho giras Internacionales a Nicaragua, El Salvador y Guatemala, sumándose a estas las realizadas en diferentes puntos de la Unión Americana, como los Ángeles, Oakland, San Francisco, San Diego, El Paso y Houston, Texas, y Chicago, además de haber sido invitado por Armando Manzanero para cantar en Madrid, España, en el teatro Lope de Vega, al inicio del Siglo XXI.
También se ha presentado en Sevilla, durante la Feria Internacional, así como en Cádiz.
De sus más grandes satisfacciones ocurridas durante 1995, Carlos Cuevas ha señalado a los duetos que realizó con Armando Manzanero y con Julio Iglesias, pero, sobre todo, el haber cantado con Plácido Domingo en Acapulco el 30 de Diciembre de ese año, logrando una extraordinaria actuación, al grado de que al final de su recital, fue buscado amablemente por el primer tenor del mundo para felicitarlo.
Para Carlos Cuevas, el bolero no es solamente una manera de cantar, es un ritmo latino especial y es la expresión misma del sentimiento romántico hispanoamericano, que sabe hablar del amor y el desamor con la veneración y el respeto a la mujer, al hombre, y a la vida misma.
Entre las dos fases, la Nacional y la Internacional, IM Discos (Ignacio Morales) lo firmó como artista exclusivo y así comenzó su carrera discográfica en plan grande y desde entonces Don Nacho y Carlos hacen un dueto formidable para realizar discos.

Fourth Of July Brings Rosarito, Best Tourism Figures Of 2009
Fourth of July brought this seaside city 30 miles south of San Diego its best tourism of 2009, with hotel occupancy at 70 percent on the holiday and some near capacity.
“This is encouraging to us and indicates some comeback, although we remain well below years past and need more gains,” said Rosarito Beach Mayor Hugo Torres.
Concerns in the United States that Mexico’s crackdown on drug cartels has made the area unsafe for tourists have been a main cause of the decline in tourism this year. Most Rosarito visitors come from the U.S.
“But time has shown emphatically that our visitors are not at risk,” Torres said. “We have had no major incident.”
“Our frequent visitors and thousands of expatriate residents are among those who have helped us convey the fact that Rosarito is safer and more welcoming than ever. We know that more needs to be done to convey that message.”
The drop in visitors has had a harsh effect on the economy of the city, which is significantly dependent on tourism.
“We believe that in part because of some unbalanced stories, some people remain uneasy about visiting Baja,” Torres said. “But we hope that responsible U.S. media will join with us in conveying the message that the area is safe.”
“It was so good to see our hotels, restaurants, shops, spas and other attractions busy again,” he added. “Not only are people secure here, they’ll find extraordinary bargains this year.”
Rosarito under Torres’ leadership in the past 18 months has created a special Tourist Police Force, city office for tourist attention and special ombudsman to assist visitors.

Rosarito esta mi Corazon!
I am a 70 yr. old female and I have Lived full time in Rosarito for almost 6 years by myself with 2 dogs and a cat and feel safer here than the US. Where else can you live when someone comes to change your tire who is a stranger and suddenly all your neighbors come to visit. Do I feel protected you better believe it. The cost of living is much better, perfect weather 98% of the time, clean white beaches, I can walk to town, Know my bank manager, pharmacist, etc. Fresh food we can trust. I can go on and on. I love Rosarito the rich social life I have. Do I go out at night of course, do I use common sense of course just like anywhere else in the world.

Hooked on Baja
I have been in love with the Baja peninsula, especially the area between Playas Tijuana and Ensenada, since my first visit to the region in the 1950’s. The unparalleled primitive beauty of Baja’s volcanic coastline and the adjacent seas beyond offer visitors a rare opportunity to temporarily escape from the frustration of modern existence, and peacefully reflect upon the things in life that are truly important.
Many have ultimately chosen to live the rest of their lives here. The strong, family oriented Mexican culture is warm, friendly and welcoming. It also stands in stark contrast to the mindlessly materialistic and socially depreciating culture north of the border.
It pains most of our longtime American residents in Baja deeply when U.S. media interests unscrupulously magnify the inter-drug cartel conflicts that are currently being dealt with summarily by Mexican military and police authorities. Their sensationalistic content falsely insinuates that it is not safe for travelers to visit Baja Norte; a magical place where they could otherwise collect a multitude of blissful memories to be carried with them for years to come.
