In addition to the vet's time and labor, stitches and gloves have also been generously donated, so all that will be charged is c2,500 ($5) per animal to cover the cost of anesthesia, antibiotics, and syringes. For anyone who can't afford the c2,500 (example for those bringing in stray animals), the Foundation will also cover those costs.

Please contact Katja by calling (506) 2643 4012 or sending her an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and let her know how many animals you will be able to bring to be operated. This is an excellent opportunity that members of the community should take advantage of, especially with strays as the operations normally cost in excess of c20,000 (~$40) to perform.

The National Surf Circuit (CNS) moves to Palo Seco de Parrita Jan 16th and 17th

Second CNS Tournament For the first time ever, the Circuito Nacional de Surf DayStar (CNS), will have a tournament at the beach Palo Seco de Parrita, which will take place on January 16 and 17. Called the Torneo LimeCoral, this will be the second date of the 2009-2010 season, and it will be a 4-star event awarding 1,500 points to the winners in each category. Palo Seco de Parrita is one of the two new beaches in the Circuito — the other being Cocoles in Limon, which is the next date.

Palo Seco de Parrita is a beach break that is often welcoming surges during the year, including the one expected during Torneo LimeCoral. The contest, which will take place in front of the facilities of Aparta-Hotel La Isla, is set to unite the best surfers from the zones of Parrita, Esterillos and Quepos, who may not often frequent the Circuito championship.

For this date, the Municipality of Parrita contributed a generous amount towards the Circuito DayStar, with organization towards tourism in the zone frequented by surfers and non-surfers both.

In agreement with Hannia Sibaja of the Municipality, there has been an order for the Commission of Support for the Torneo LimeCoral, including the maintenance of about 1,000 vehicles expected. In addition, the public will be able to participate in different activities during the Circuito, including volleyball and beach soccer for mini-championships. There will also be food and drinks for sale on the beach, and access to the bar and restaurant at Aparta-Hotel La Isla.

For those that don't know, Palo Seco is a beach that is about 30 minutes south of Jaco Beach (towards Hermosa Beach and Quepos) and is located right before the town of Parrita.

From what I have heard, the CNS is expecting a good turnout for this tournament and there is supposed to be all the necessary services on site and ample parking. If you're in town and like surf, definitely go check it out, Palo Seco is a beautiful and mostly untouched beach that you will surely not be disappointed in seeing!

We'll have news, photos and updates on the tournament results as the come in, stay tuned!
