Two Montini Catholic High School seniors, Charles Norgle and John Golumb, were recently appointed by Downers Grove Mayor, Martin Tully, as new members of the Downers Grove Village Board and Commissions.
As part of the Downers Grove Youth in Government program, each year high school juniors, interested in experiencing government first-hand, are invited to apply for membership. Approximately twelve students are chosen to serve on one of five commissions - Health and Human Services, Community Grants, Community Events, Environmental and Transportation and Parking. After applicants are chosen, the village attempts to pair the students with the appropriate commission based on their interests. Once appointed, the young members are considered full voting members of the Village Council.
Senior Charles (Chuck) Norgle was honored to be appointed as Youth Commissioner to the Community Events Commission. "As a Youth Commissioner, I am definitely part of the process," said Mr. Norgle. "I am able to voice my opinion and I also cast a vote in the final decision making." Mr. Norgle admits he is very impressed with the program, especially with the fact that the village seeks out a young person's perspective when making decision affecting the community.
One event Mr. Norgle was involved with this summer was the revival of the Downers Grove Criterium Bike Race. He will also be involved in reviewing other community events including art festivals, parades, firework shows and the Downers Grove Heritage Festival. "Our commission addresses the concerns of the downtown businesses, the public, and sponsors," explained Norgle. "We try to keep everyone happy to make sure the proposed event benefits the village as a whole."
In addition to his interest in government, Mr. Norgle is a member of the National Honors Society at Montini. He was a member of Montini's basketball and track teams in 2011, and has been a member of the football team (captain in '11, 12' and '14) throughout his years at Montini. He also enjoys volunteering at DuPage Pads, providing services to the homeless.
Mr. Norgle says that one of the perks of working on the Community Events Commission is that often times he is the first to find out about all of Downers Groves community events. "It has really been interesting."
John Golumb was happy to be appointed to the Transportation & Parking Commission as part of his involvement in the Downers Grove Youth in Government Program. As part of the commission, Mr. Golumb is involved in hearings and votes regarding local transportation laws.
Like Mr. Norgle, Mr. Golumb will also give a teen's perspective on topics involving transportation, and will provide feedback on village discussions and recommendations.
In addition to his interest in government, Mr. Golumb is involved in many activities at Montini, including cross country and baseball. He is also a member of the Math Team, Sancti Futuri (Future Saints Club) and the Boys Club.
Adult commissioners typically serve a three year term. Mr. Norgle and Mr. Golumb will serve for one year with their term expiring on August 31, 2015.
"We were very happy to hear of Mr. Norgle's and Mr. Golumb's appointments to Downers Grove's Village Commissions," said Montini President Jim Segredo. "They are both positive role models in their school community, here at Montini. We have no doubt that they will have the same effect on their local community throughout their involvement in the Youth in Government Program."

In case relating to assault on professor Nath; CID begins probe into Sabharwal's death
None has come forth as witness so far: Chief Minister State Government trying to suppress facts: Sabharwal's son
Ujjain: Three persons, including two ABVP leaders, surrendered before the police here on Wednesday in connection with manhandling of a college professor here.
In another case, the Criminal Investigation Department began a probe into the violence that led to the death of Professor H.S. Sabharwal.Madhya Pradesh ABVP president Shashiranjan Akela and its secretary Vimal Tomar, who was seen in TV footage to be threatening Madhav College Professor M.L. Nath, surrendered at the Dewas Gate police station. The case related to manhandling and throwing of mud at Prof. Nath on August 26, city Superintendent of Police Rajesh Mishra.
Sanjeev Jain, a worker of the NCP's outfit Disha Kisaan Sangathan, also surrendered in the same case, he said.
The trio were produced before a court and sent to judicial remand till September 7.
The CID started its probe into the death of Sabharwal, also a professor of the college, by conducting a spot inspection and interrogating shopkeepers near the college.
However, the police are yet to make any arrest in connection with this case.
NSUI protest
Earlier in the day, 23 NSUI workers protested the rounding up of around some Congress workers for violence at the college, Inspector-General of Police Anil Kumar said.
District Congress president Batuk Shankar Joshi claimed their names had featured in a list of offenders submitted by the college principal, and thus "it was decided to ask them to court arrest."
The NSUI workers were later booked on the charge of arson and violence at the college, Mr. Mishra said.
With these arrests, eight persons were apprehended. Five of them were earlier released on bail, he said.
Apart from booking students in two cases for arson and attack on Prof. Nath, the police had registered a case against unidentified persons for the death of Sabharwal.
Additional Collector Ravindra Singh, who was conducting the magisterial inquiry into the death of Sabharwal, also visited the college.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan said that so far no one had come forth as witness in the case relating to Sabharwal's death.
But the professor's son, Himangshu, said that as per the FIR lodged by college peon Komal Singh Sengar, the latter wrote "I and many others have seen them (attackers). We know the attackers by face but not by their names. They beat up the professor with the intention of killing him."
Describing the Government action (in ordering a probe) an "eyewash aimed at sheltering the main accused in the incident," Mr. Himangshu demanded a CBI probe into the matter.
Alleging that the State Government was trying to suppress facts in the case, he said "officials are trying to create a Bihar-like situation in the city."
He also accused the police of exerting pressure on Mr. Sengar to "change his stand."
On the other hand, Mr. Sengar, who was being treated for some complications at a hospital, expressed fears that he might be implicated by the police in the murder case.
However, a police official refuted the charge and claimed that the peon was giving conflicting statements.
Opposition Congress, led by its chief Subhash Yadav and Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly, Jamuna Devi, staged a day-long dharna in front of the Chief Minister's residence demanding a CBI inquiry into the Madhav College violence. PTI, UNI
ABVP demand
New Delhi Staff Reporter reports:
Denying any role in the death of Professor Sabharwal, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad on Wednesday demanded an independent inquiry to determine who was responsible for his death.
Claiming that the professor's post-mortem report indicated that he died due to the injuries sustained after he fell from his two-wheeler, the ABVP asserted that it had no hand in the incident.
"The clipping that news channels have been broadcasting is that of our members gheraoing the Principal of Madhav Mahavidyalaya and not of Professor Sabharwal. Professor Sabharwal had collapsed at the college gate when the students gheraoed him. None of our members was involved. We condemn the incident that led to Professor Sabharwal's death and offer our condolences to his family," said Sunil Bansal, AVBP North Zone organisation secretary, at a press conference here.
Pointing out that the activists were upset after the elections were scrapped in the college, Mr. Bansal said: "Elections were to be held on August 26. But on the day the nomination committee was to be elected, the elections were scrapped. The National Students' Union of India forced the authorities to cancel the elections as the ABVP was going to win. The members then went to meet the Principal and gave him a memorandum.''
Admitting that ABVP activists were upset after they heard that the elections had been cancelled, Mr. Bansal said:
"They were angry and that is why they took the stand. However, they were not involved in the incident that led to the death of Professor Sabharwal. He didn't have any injuries on his body consistent with being beaten up. Professor Sabharwal had already had two coronary bypass surgeries and had asked the college not to put him on election duty. But they never listened."

Longtime readers of the Chicago Sun-Times are familiar with Roger Ebert's "One-Minute Reviews." These are capsule reviews (roughly 75-150 words or so), condensing his responses to current movies. As any writer knows, the short versions can be harder to write than the full-length ones.
Why not fold documentaries into my list of the "Best Films of 2011?" After all, a movie is a movie, right? Yes, and some years I've thrown them all into the same mixture. But all of these year-end Best lists serve one useful purpose: They tell you about good movies you may not have seen or heard about. The more films on my list that aren't on yours, the better job I've done.
That's particularly true were you to depend on the "short list" released by the Academy's Documentary Branch of 15 films they deem eligible for nomination. The branch has been through turmoil in the past and its procedures were "reformed" at one point. But this year it has made a particularly scandalous sin of

Marie writes: Did you know that the world's steepest roller-coaster is the Takabisha, which opened earlier this year at the Fuji-Q Highland Amusement Park in Yamanash, Japan? The ride lasts just 112 seconds but is packed with exciting features including seven twists, blackened tunnels and a 43m-high peak. But the most impressive thing about Takabisha is the 121 degree free-fall, so steep that it's been recognized by the Guinness World Records as the steepest roller-coaster made from steel!
Marie writes: this past Monday, the Chicago Sun Times updated "Movable Type" - a program used to create blogs. Roger's journal for example. Other newspapers might use "Word Press" instead; same idea though. Any-hoo, it's hosted on the "new" server at the Sun-Times and as is customary, you have to login to use it. It's online software. Meaning you're totally at the mercy of any freakiness that might be going on.I mention this because there was indeed some weirdness earlier (server choked) and that, plus the fact Movable Type does things differently now, put me behind schedule. So I don't really have anything for the front page. I can go look, though! Meanwhile, just continue reading and if I find anything interesting, I'll let you know....Ooo, clams...
Q. The casting of the original "Gone With the Wind" created a world-wide frenzy among movie fans. Who should star in "Scarlett," the TV miniseries? A. I hope they choose a real actress, and not one of the transparent TV beauties with a high Q rating. True, most of the top movie actresses refuse to work in TV, but given the high profile of this project and the $8 million already paid for the rights, this should be the sort of project designed to change their minds.

The message from park rangers, amateur metal detectors and regular fisherman at California's Lake Perris is unanimous: The water is lower than they've ever seen it.

Just when we thought craft beer couldn't get any zanier, we learn that Oregonians want to make it with treated wastewater.
Clean Water Services of Hillsboro says it has an advanced treatment process that can turn sewage into drinking water. The company, which runs four wastewater treatment plants in the Portland metro area, wants to show off its "high-purity" system by turning recycled wastewater into beer.

Ask Northern California sheep rancher Dan Macon what this drought is doing to his pocketbook and he'll break it down for you real quick.
"It's like if you woke up one morning and lost 40 percent of the equity in your house," he says. "Our primary investment in our ranch is in these sheep and we just sold 40 percent of our stock."

The past few years have been California's driest on record. Forecasters predict that punishing droughts like the current one could become the new norm.
The state uses water rationing and a 90-year-old water distribution system to cope until the rains come. The system is a huge network of dams, canals and pipes that move water from the places it rains and snows to places it typically doesn't, like farms and cities.

Imagine flushing the toilet and watching sand come up. That's what happened to Pam Vieira, who lives south of Modesto, Calif. Her water well has slowed to a trickle, and you can see the sand in the tank of her toilet.
"Sometimes we have brown water," Vieira says. "Sometimes we have no water."
Vieira is one of as many as 2 million rural California residents who rely on private domestic wells for drinking water.
Some of those people are among the hardest hit by the state's severe drought, as wells across the state's Central Valley farm belt start to go dry.

California's historic drought is partly to blame for the recent rise in West Nile virus infections, public health officials say. There have been 311 cases reported so far, double the number of the same time last year, and the most of any state in the country.
West Nile virus is spread by mosquitoes. They contract the virus when they feed on infected birds, then spread it to the birds they bite next. A shortage of water can accelerate this cycle.

Much of the American West is suffering from extreme drought this year. California is running out of water and wildfires have raged through Washington, Oregon and Idaho. But there is a bright spot out West — or, rather, a green spot. In New Mexico, unusually heavy late-summer rains have transformed the landscape.
It's a remarkable sight. The high desert is normally the color of baked pie crust; now, it's emerald.
Kirt Kempter, a geologist who lives in Santa Fe, says this transformation is far from ordinary.
The drought-stricken Colorado River Basin is drying up faster than was thought, according to a recent study.
NASA and the University of California, Irvine used satellite data gathered over a nine year period to track changes in the mass of the Colorado River Basin that has been experiencing severe drought since 2000.
The scientists looked at monthly measurements between December 2004 and November 2013. They found the basin lost nearly 53 million acre feet of freshwater, that's nearly double the volume of Lake Mead, the nation's largest reservoir, during that period. The study said about 41 million acre feet of that lost water was groundwater.
The basin provides water to millions of people in seven Western states: Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. It also supplies water to roughly four million acres of farmland.
This Fall, a local river conservation group is keeping a close eye on the Fryingpan River. This follows last year's drought that brought the levels on the river down.
Water has always been a source of conflict in the arid West, but in recent years the conflict between agriculture and growing cities has escalated as both entities compete for this limited resource.
For this week's iSeeChange report, we looked into the recent flurry of rain and some snow, and what, if anything, it might tell us about the coming winter.
In late July, a massive dust storm in the Saharan Desert of Africa moved across the Atlantic, making for an interesting start to the hurricane season, or you could say a boring one.
Last week the Almanac saw a lot of talk about mushrooms – Steve Smith said they seem to be popping up in larger numbers than usual – Marilyn Stone wondered what factors affect mushroom numbers – and Amber Kleinman asked whether it's possible to grow puffballs in a yard.
Though we're barely a week into August, some signs of fall have started to appear in western Colorado.
In early July, Colorado designated 14 counties "primary natural disaster areas" due to agricultural losses caused by the recent and ongoing drought. Several of those counties are in the San Luis Valley in south central Colorado. Farmers there are now eligible for low interest emergency loans, but as KGNU's Maeve Conran reports, that may not be enough for this agricultural hub, which is facing a long term water crisis that could permanently affect the entire valley.

Colemira. A Culinary Eclogue Poem by William Shenstone
Nec tantum Veneris, quantum studiosa culinae.
Insensible of soft desire,
Behold Colemira prove
More partial to the kitchen fire
Than to the fire of Love.
Night's sable clouds had half the globe o'erspread,
And silence reign'd, and folks were gone to bed;
When love, which gentle sleep can ne'er inspire,
Had seated Damon by the kitchen fire.
Pensive he lay, extended on the ground,
The little Lares kept their vigils round
The fawning cats compassionate his case,
And purr around, and gently lick his face:
To all his plaints the sleeping curs reply,
And with hoarse snorings imitate a sigh:
Such gloomy scenes with lovers' minds agree,
And solitude to them is best society.
'Could I,' he cried, 'express how bright a grace
Adorns thy morning hands, and well-wash'd face,
Thou wouldst, Colemira, grant what I implore,
And yield me love, or wash thy face no more.
'Ah! who can see, and seeing not admire,
Whene'er she sets the pot upon the fire?
Her hands outshine the fire and redder things;
Her eyes are blacker than the pot she brings.
'But sure no chamber-damsel can compare,
When in meridian lustre shines my fair,
When warm'd with dinner's toil, in pearly rills,
Adown her goodly cheeks the sweat distils.
'Oh! how I long, how ardently desire,
To view those rosy fingers strike the lyre!
For late, when bees to change their climes began,
How did I see them thrum the frying-pan!
'With her I should not envy George his queen,
Though she in royal grandeur deck'd be seen;
Whilst rags, just sever'd from my fair one's gown,
In russet pomp and greasy pride hang down.
'Ah! how it does my drooping heart rejoice,
When in the hall I hear thy mellow voice!
How would that voice exceed the village bell,
Wouldst thou but sing, 'I like thee passing well!'
'When from the hearth she bade the pointers go,
How soft, how easy, did her accents flow!
'Get out,' she cried: 'when strangers come to sup,
One ne'er can raise those snoring devils up.'
'Then, full of wrath, she kick'd each lazy brute;
Alas! I envied even that salute:
'Twas sure misplaced-Shock said, or seem'd to say,
He had as lief I had the kick, as they.
'If she the mystic bellows take in hand,
Who like the fair can that machine command?
O mayst thou ne'er by Æolus be seen,
For he would sure demand thee for his queen!
'But should the flame this rougher aid refuse,
And only gentler medicines be of use,
With full-blown cheeks she ends the doubtful strife,
Foments the infant flame, and puffs it into life.
'Such arts as these exalt the drooping fire,
But in my breast a fiercer flame inspire:
I burn! I burn! O give thy puffing o'er,
And swell thy cheeks, and pout thy lips, no more!
With all her haughty looks, the time I've seen
When this proud damsel has more humble been,
When with nice airs she hoist the pancake round,
And dropt it, hapless fair! upon the ground.
'Look, with what charming grace, what winning tricks,
The artful charmer rubs the candlesticks:
So bright she makes the candlesticks she handles,
Oft have I said-there were no need of candles.
But thou, my fair! who never wouldst approve,
Or hear the tender story of my love,
Or mind how burns my raging breast-a button-
Perhaps art dreaming of-a breast of mutton.'
Thus said, and wept, the sad desponding swain,
Revealing to the sable walls his pain:
But nymphs are free with those they should deny;
To those they love, more exquisitely coy.
Now chirping crickets raise their tinkling voice,
The lambent flames in languid streams arise,
And smoke, in azure folds, evaporates and dies.

GSA, Treasury officials decry House committee budget shortfalls
Top officials at the Treasury Department and the General Services Administration say budget cuts being considered by House lawmakers - and that have since adopted by the House Appropriations Committee - would erode their agencies' missions.

Will DoD's 2014 sequestration plan jolt Congress into action?
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel put the ball in Congress' court this week when he released details of how the Pentagon would manage billions of dollars in cuts if sequestration continues into fiscal 2014 and beyond. But, there's not yet anything close to a winning strategy in Congress to avert or replace the automatic budget cuts.

Sequestration snarling 2014 budget process

Patrick McFarland, the inspector general of the Office of Personnel Management, confirmed to a Senate subcommittee Thursday that his office has been investigating USIS, the government's largest contractor for background-investigation services, since late 2011. He said at least 18 security clearance investigators have been convicted of falsifying investigations since 2007. McFarland said there may be "considerably more" fraud that hasn't been uncovered due to "alarmingly insufficient oversight" of the security-clearance process.

The Space
Playa Chiquita is an idyllic beach village, ideally situated on one of the most picturesque stretches of the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica. This quaint location could not be more convenient for travellers, whether bound for an eye opening experience of nature, wildlife, culture or just pure relaxation. The village is located on the edge of the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge, a protected nature reserve which is home to numerous species of animals, birds and plants. It is also only 4 miles/ 6km South of the happening town of Puerto Viejo, the epitome of a laid back Caribbean place, a melting pot of cultures and a great place for contracting tourist services.
At Casas La Selvatica we offer two comfortable homes, immersed in nature and surrounded by wildlife, yet only minutes away from a lovely beach, good grocery store and restaurants. The setting is ideal for couples or families wishing for more than a hotel room within easy reach of countless low ecological impact recreational activities (wildlife watching, coral reef snorkelling and scuba diving, jungle zip-line treks, river rafting, etc.). Our property and the surrounding area are home to an incredible array of wildlife: you will most likely watch howler monkeys in their search for food, toucans or sloths, right from the comfort of your porch. The house is located minutes away from a couple of the best surfing beaches in the Caribbean. Your bilingual host is available to assist with information about the area, bookings for activities/tours and offer detailed attention to your comfort throughout your vacation.
Casa Grande has two bedrooms, one bath and two dens, comfortably accommodating up to five people. There is a fully equipped kitchen and a large outdoor dining area.
If you seek serenity, while enjoying the convenience of a picture perfect beach and services within a few minutes walk, this is the place for you.
We proudly offer the following, along with your accommodation:
- wireless high speed internet
- on site English/Spanish speaking host available to provide information, assist with activities booking, etc.
- coffeemaker, blender and kettle
- safe for secure storage of your valuables
- high quality towels and bedding
- complimentary laundry service provided by our caretakers for vacations of minimum 7 days; for shorter vacations, the service is available for $5/load (washing, drying and folding)
- hammocks on the porch
- use of cell phone with a calling card for international calls available at nearby grocery store
- bike rentals available at nearby grocery store (3 min walk away).
We would love to customize your vacation according to your needs. If you are celebrating a special occasion or would like to pleasantly surprise a loved one, we can provide additional services as required (tea lights, bottle of wine, local handmade organic chocolate, etc.) or arrange for a romantic dinner or spa package before your arrival.
Thank you for considering Casas La Selvatica and the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica as your potential vacation destination. You will discover a fascinating country, with amazing nature and wildlife, a vibrant culture and will get re-connected with the meaning of pure life.

Guest Access
Full house.
Interaction with Guests
This is a self-contained home located on a property which hosts another vacation rental home as well as a caretaker suite. Guests enjoy full privacy. Host (who lives directly across the road from Casa Grande) is present at check-in, check-out and visits daily for assistance and information.
The Neighborhood
Playa Chiquita is an idyllic beach village, ideally situated on one of the most picturesque stretches of the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica. This quaint location could not be more convenient for travelers, whether bound for an eye opening experience of nature, wildlife, culture or just pure relaxation. The village is located on the edge of the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge, a protected nature reserve which is home to numerous species of animals, birds and plants. It is also only 4 miles/6km South of the happening town of Puerto Viejo, the epitome of a laid back Caribbean place, a melting pot of cultures and a great place for contracting tourist services.
Getting around
A rental car is not necessary, but if preferred, an outdoor parking lot is available. Public transit is readily accessible: direct buses from San Jose, Limon, Puerto Viejo, Cahuita and Manzanillo stop 3 minutes walk from the house. Taxis are abundant in the area. Bikes are a great way to get around!
Other Things to Note
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. What is this area like?
As most travel guides describe it, the Southern Caribbean is the right combination of picture perfect beaches, spectacular wildlife and proverbial laid-back attitude, spiced-up with a surprisingly active music and restaurant scene. The area is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, offering countless low ecological impact activities. This part of the country enjoys a lower level of development when compared with the Pacific Coast, and might catch by surprise unsuspecting travellers expecting all inclusive or high end resorts. While this type of accommodation options are also available, they are not prevalent, hence the true laid back attitude of locals and travellers alike.
2. How do I get there? Is a car needed?
A rental car is not necessary. You can get here from San Jose by public transit, door-to-door minivan service, driving a rental car or by private transfer (we can arrange that for you!). Most travellers choose the public transit, which is convenient, reliable and inexpensive. As a rule of thumb, if your intention is to get here on the bus, you will have to chose flights landing in San Jose no later than 2pm to catch the last bus of the day to Puerto Viejo. Similarly, if you want to leave Playa Chiquita on the day of your flight, you will have to catch a flight departing no earlier than 2pm. For flights outside these windows, you will need to spend the night in San Jose. Please inquire if you have any specific questions about transportation.
3. What is the weather like? Do the houses have air conditioning?
'The only thing that is constant is change"...this could not be more true about the weather in this part of Costa Rica. Overall, this is a tropical rainforest environment, with not so distinct dry and rainy seasons. One can expect that the average daily temperatures will be around 30C (85F) and 20C (70F) at night throughout the year. The amount of rain varies, however most precipitations come in torrential showers followed by sunshine. There is significant humidity in the air at all times.
Similar to 98% of vacation homes owners in the area, we did not find air conditioning necessary. The houses are built with air vents for natural ventilation. The average nightly temperature of 20C (70F) is comfortable for a restful sleep. For the occasional hotter evening, ceiling/wall fans are available in every room.
4. What is there to do? What activities are available?
Most travellers come here to enjoy the beaches and to explore the amazing flora and fauna of the surrounding rainforest. The area is also popular with surfers and yoga practitioners. It is a perfect spot for a romantic getaway, as well as a a very convenient location for a family vacation. Some of the most popular activities are snorkelling the coral reef, zip-line canopy tours and jungle hikes, river rafting, visiting the nearby wildlife rescue center (located within walking distance from La Selvatica) or night time turtle watching, to name only a few. On a rainy day, you can browse through our book collection, play a board game (chess, checkers and few other games are available), catch up on your emails or make travel plans using the free wi-fi internet, or watch a DVD from the collection available at Casa Grande.
5. Do I need local currency?
The local currency is the colon (plural colones). As an easy reference, 1 USD equals approximately 500 colones. US Dollars are widely accepted in most tourist areas all over Costa Rica. From our own experience, we found that what works best is to use our credit cards to withdraw colones at ATM's. You can do this as soon as you land at San Jose airport, while waiting for your checked baggage – there are two ATM's right by the baggage carousels. It is probably safest to withdraw just enough cash for the first few days of your trip (for example the equivalent of $150-$200) and avoid carrying to much cash on you while travelling. Once on the Caribbean, you can use the ATM's in Puerto Viejo and Cahuita. You can also withdraw cash from your credit card directly from the bank tellers (you must have your original passport with you). Credit cards are increasingly more accepted by tourist businesses, however it is safe to always have some cash on hand. The next door grocery/mini-department store where you will probably shop for most food, beverage and other needs accepts all types of credit cards.
6. Are there jungle creatures around?
Our homes are located in the rainforest, in a lush environment also home to howler monkeys, toucans, sloths, lizards, frogs, snakes, spiders, bats, ants and many other neat creatures. Some of these could be watched right from the comfort of your porch! We try to blend in as much as possible with the natural environment and to be passive and respectful observers of the surrounding wildlife. We are fortunate to have a rather limited mosquito population.
7. Is La Selvatica the right place for me?
We offer two homes. Casa Grande is a good option for people who enjoy larger living areas, and also for families with children. Guests of Casa Grande enjoy a large porch, complimentary use of bicycles and laundry service (provided by our caretaker). We found that our homes are especially attractive to travellers willing to embark in an eye-opening experience of nature, wildlife, different culture and holistic relaxation. We offer two cozy self catering vacation homes in a spectacular rainforest/beach setting. We do not offer services similar to those found in high-end hotels or all inclusive resorts, nor do we intend to compete for their guests. The area is enjoyed by independent travellers and it is probably better suited to travellers not adverse to being in occasional and relative close proximity with geckos, spiders, humming birds, agoutis or any other creatures which inhabit the nearby rain-forest. This area is NOT a bug-free zone.
8. Are there restaurants and shops nearby?
La Selvatica is located within 2 minutes walking distance from the main road which treks along the coast. This means we are also within few minutes walk from a couple of grocery stores, a handful of good restaurants, a couple of yoga centres and a few other shops. You can shop nearby for most basic necessities. For more choices, there are plenty of shopping options in Puerto Viejo. Another great shopping option for local produce and plenty of other goods is the Saturday market, taking place weekly in Puerto Viejo.
8. Is the area safe?
The area is at least just as safe as most places. Like most other places, the Southern Caribbean and Costa Rica can be enjoyed with no worries, when common sense safety procedures are employed. Petty theft is not uncommon. The local business owners community is very active in promoting safety for tourists, and this should not be interpreted as an indication that the area is unsafe. Our property is fenced in (gates locked at night by guests). Both our houses have lock-boxes and guests are encouraged to store all valuables there, when not in use. We also advise our guests to bring a couple of passport copies to carry with them, while their original passports are safely stored in the lock-box. We have a caretaker on-site and a resident dog, for added security. Always take only the minimum with you when going to the beach, especially if you anticipate spending lots on time in the water. It is best to take a special trip to the beach for taking photos, then leave the camera in the lock-box and enjoy your worry-free day at the beach!

Casas La Selvatica Vacation Rentals
Playa Chiquita, Costa Rica
Cute and beachy apartment just off the main road that runs from Puerto Viejo to Manzanillo. Easy to access the grocery store and bike rental (2 minute walk). From Casa Grande, all the amazing beaches and restaurants in the area are within a 15-20 minute bike ride. Extremely friendly and accommodating host! Great location!
We very much appreciated the house at Casa (email hidden) is very well located near Playa Chiquita (less than 10 min walk) and having a small supermarket nearby is very convenient. The tropical style of the house makes you feel on holidays immediately. We had very good contacts and warm welcome by our hosts.
We did not meet the owners, but the care taker, Rodrigo, was very helpful and friendly.
The home is just as presented. My only advice is to make sure you understand where Playa Chiquita is. I thought it was closer to Cahuita. If your goal is to snorkel and hike at Cahuita, this is probably not the best location. If you want to relax on beautiful beaches, this is a great place to be.
Hello Daniel & Jeff...
We spent a wonderful days in La playita, Casa Grande is an amazing place to state. Stunning and lush vegetation all around, beaches at walking distances and the home itself bright, big and well decorated.
We recommend to anyone to stay in Casa Grande Jungle&Beach..
Thanks guys for your help
Andres & Nacho
I did not get to meet the hosts, but I did meet the groundskeeper, Rodrigo-- buena persona! He was so nice. I actually did not stay on this property because I was traveling with a large group and booked several houses to accommodate everyone, but Daniel and Jeff were excellent about understanding our situation and I couldn't be happier with the experience. They kept communication open and honest and showed concern for their property which no doubt has been what keeps this house in such great condition! I did visit it and the members of my group who slept there two nights all loved it. It's a little bit of a walk from the beach, but considering you're also walking distance from a pulperia and a mercado, an ice cream shop, and bike rentals, i don't know what more we could have asked for!
We stayed at Casa Grande for a week and it was paradise. It seemed like a long drive from San Jose airport, but it was worth every second and more. The house was exactly as advertised and very charming. We had coffee in the hammocks every morning, ate dinner at the rustic table on the porch on the nights when we cooked at home. Playa Chiquita is a quick walk away, and the most perfect beach I have ever seen. I lived in a sarong, bathing suit, and no shoes, and everything was perfect. Jeff and Daniel were great at communicating, our onsite hosts were wonderful, and I can't wait to go back.
The reservation was canceled 66 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Our journey south was meant to be a temporary escape from the dark and rainy Canadian West Coast, in search of sunshine and warmth. After a brief search for a potential destination and keeping in mind that we desired nothing of an all inclusive resort, we quickly realized that one can have it all... in Costa Rica (Rich Coast)! As so many times before, we chose the off-beaten (email hidden)e Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica was awaiting to be discovered! What a great surprise: not only did we get some rays and experienced the vibrant culture, but it all came with the most spectacular backdrop. The surroundings were magical! Lush green rain-forest filled with beautiful flowers, and wildlife otherwise only known to us from colourful atlases. There was a positive energy which we just could not get away from. After this first impression, a spark led to a dream and the dream became a plan...With the much appreciated help and support from our friends and families our new journey started in Dec 2009! Come join us and enjoy pure living...
Pura Vida!
Jeff and Daniel

Have been coming here for years, have never been let down. Without fail, every person I've referred to this place has loved it too. The wait staff is friendly and attentive and never make you feel rushed. The same people have worked here forever, which tells me they are treated well. We often take advantage of the dinner special and it's enough food that we end up taking our dessert to go. I really like their pasta dishes, fish n chips, and the chickpea salad. My husband swears by the taco burger and French onion soup. We enjoy the bread pudding for dessert. The inside feels a little crowded, so I recommend eating in the outdoor space out back, if the weather allows. Have never had brunch here but people seem to love it.

My wife and I decided we would go for my birthday. I kept hearing about these pancakes. I told my wife I'm having the pancakes.She looked at me like I had four heads. We also ordered the goat cheese and spinach omelet with a couple of mimosa to wash it down with. Needless to state, but I'm gonna state it. This place is a gem. The pancakes live up to the hype. They ARE the best anywhere. Crispy outside, fluffy buttermilk inside.The omelet, hands down, the best in the city. Mimosa's were top notch. I decided to have a Bellini. Blew me away. The only draw back . . . the wait. But, hey, the place is a bistro setting. It's a small place. If it were bigger, a lot of the intimacy would be lost. So, grin and bear it. The experience is worth the wait.

YUMMMMMM. Definately going back to get more. Didn't try anything else neither did I want to.

I have read all the reviews about Luluc so I had to try this small restaurant on Smith street. we went for lunch on a weekday,we' were immediately seated. The wait to have our order taken was so long that we considered getting up to leave. We ordered the pancakes and we each had coffee. The pancakes I am so sorry to say tasted no better than what I make at home ,nothing special. The coffee was not even hot and we were never offered a refill. Our bill came to somewhere around $24.00 . My advice is save your time and money.

i had a very nice experience been treated with respect and with a delicious food.
Posted by Debbie on 06/26/2011
Cafe Luluc has decent food, and the entree prices are very reasonable (average $15-20), but the waiters do everything they can to run up the bill. We had mussels and hummus for appetizers, both of which were so-so. Entrees for a group included lamb shanks, pork chops, and steak, all of which were good. We had banana splits for dessert which were pretty good. My biggest complaint was the waiters came back to the table every 2-3 minutes to pour more wine, and bring new wine to the table without us asking. Eventually, we just told them no more wine. Besides the prices of six bottles of wine, constantly having waiters swarming around the table made it impossible to really enjoy the dinner. Not a horrible restaurant, but with the vast selection of restaurants in Carroll Gardens, Cafe Luluc can be skipped.

my husband and i are now kicking ourselves that we've been overlooking this place for so many years. we were skeptical because the menu and the prices didn't seem to match up (reasonable prices for dishes that are normally expensive in other bistros). tried it last night and everything was stellar. even the caesar salad was unusually excellent, and that's a dish that is often overlooked in kitchens. we also had the lamb shank with wild mushroom risotto and the grilled duck breast with honey thyme polenta and sauteed spinach -- everything beautifully cooked and the flavors so well balanced. service was a little slow, but otherwise really great. i normally don't review a place until i've been there a few times, but i know we'll be going back to luluc again.

Ozzy Explains Why Now Is The Time For Sabbath Reunion
The Black Sabbath reunion has certainly had its share of complications, but as far as Ozzy Osbourne is concerned, the relationships between the members of the band are better than ever.
The Black Sabbath reunion has certainly had its share of complications, but as far as Ozzy Osbourne is concerned, the relationships between the members of the band are better than ever.
According to a poll by the British Phonographic Industry, Black Sabbath is the most important British hard rock band. 3600 hard rock and metal fans participated, and Sabbath garnered 45 percent of the vote. In a statement, Ozzy Osbourne and company say, "We are honored and flattered to be acknowledged in a poll like this which is voted for by the fans. We thank you."
Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler is ready to spend some quality time in the studio. A band Facebook posting states that Butler "is all set to record some more bass tracks on the new album today."
Black Sabbath's 2012 reunion tour may not have turned out exactly as planned, but the year is closing out with a welcome treat for diehard fans: a box set collecting new vinyl pressings of the nine albums the band released between 1970-78.
One year ago Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath released his memoir, 'Iron Man: My Journey Through Heaven and Hell With Black Sabbath.' The hard cover book came just before his lymphoma diagnosis, leaving the full story untold. That will change this fall when Iommi releases the paperback version.
Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi was one of seven honorees at an L.A. fundraiser on Halloween for the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund.
Iommi, a cancer survivor, talked about how the diagnosis changed his outlook on life, figuring his days were numbered, but with the support of his wife and Sabbath bandmates, it gave him the strength to fight it and win
With a new album, a tour of Australia and now a headlining gig at a Japanese version of Ozzfest, 2013 is looking to be a big year for the reunited Black Sabbath. In a new interview, Ozzy Osbourne said that he can't wait to perform in Australia with his old mates for the first time in nearly 40 years.
The reunited Black Sabbath has announced that their new album with (most) of the original group, will release it in April. In addition, the band has announced a string of Australian tour dates.
The announcement of the Australian tour (their first since 1974) has to come as good news in the wake of guitarist Tony Iommi's battle this past year with cancer, which forced the group to curtail most of its touring plans
Ever since they reunited this summer, we've known that Black Sabbath have also been working on 15 new songs for an upcoming album. Today we learned that the band plans to release the album next spring.

About the Owner
My partner and I fell in love with this property over 15 years ago while we were both teaching in Gainesville, FL. We remodeled it for our weekend use since we only less than two hours away. We have been offering it as vacation rental since 2001. We now live in Miami Springs, and plan to retire in Flagler Beach in the future. I welcome your inquiries through this website, or by phone, or e-mail. I will respond quickly. Although we no longer live close to Flagler Beach, we visit often, and we have a local caretaker who attends to maintenance of the property and to the needs of our guests.

Perfect for beach lovers and golfers :)!!
Thanks again,
Great Location and cozy Beach House
A little slice of heaven steps from the beach
Great Beach Vacation
We love to know that our guests have a great time in cozy Casas de la Playa and make every effort to accommodate your needs.
Great times!!!
We really enjoyed our stay. The unit was as described, neat, laid back beach house decor and had everything we needed including extra chairs for the deck and lots of towels:) This area is perfect for a quiet getaway and the beach itself was perfect. It was not crowded, tons of shells and sealife. Our kids had a blast!
The local area is very laid back but action is not too far away (if your looking for it). We went to black hammock for an air boat ride and saw a ton of gators and the kids really enjoyed the dolphin experience at Marineland.
I would recommend your place to anyone who enjoys a real beach vacation and not a resort town. The kids say thanks for the big bowl of fruit and we say thanks for the memories!
Very nice place !
From the Owner
"We have come to Flagler Beach since the early eighties. We love the quaint and tranquil evironment, without franchises, or high-rise buildings. This is a wonderful beach community with the flavor of old Florida beaches, unrushed, friendly, and the beach is never crowded. Often you can look in both directions while sitting on the sand, and see no one, or one or two people in the distance. On weekend, a few more people show up. Almost everything is walking distance, if you like to walk, or a very short driving distance with ample parking everywhere."
Activity and Interests
The most attractive aspect of Flagler Beach is its peacefulness and small beach community charm. There are no franchises on the beach, nor high rises. There are several small local restaurants and cafes with excellent food, a couple of galleries, some nice bars, and a friendly neighborhood.
Marineland is 10 minutes north, and Daytona Beach is 20 minutes south. Historic St. Augustine is a half-hour drive away, and Orlando and Disney are within an hour's drive. Major airports are within an hour and a half drive.
The sunrises are fabulous at this time of the year. Sit and relax on the porch, or take a chair across the street to the beach. The ocean water temperature is cool this time of the year, and the sun is bright and warm. At night sit and contemplate the constelations and the planets from anywhere, the balcony, the beach, or walking around the neighborhood! This is an ideal place for moon lovers, and star gazers. Fish from the beach, or from the nearby pier. Bring your own bicycle and enjoy riding around this small community!

Well I just had chain link fence put around my yard. I thought they were done as of friday. so the section bordering my beergarden i mulched and planted hops. Had 5 of the 12 rhizomes had shoots poking through. 3 of em were over 2" already. well the wife forgot to mention that she added something to the fence job, i came home 2day to see a 350lb fence buildin bastard standin on my hops plants. all that had shoots are broken......I know they are tough, Im sure they will grow back, but can I cry now?
There is no crying in Brewing!!
is that Baseball!! Oh, hell; I forget!! Time for another Stout!! Ahhhhhhh!!!!
They will grow back, unless the fence building 350 lb bastage is a permanent fixture!
no thank the beer gods. asked the wife they gone so the 350 bastage is not permanent. I did however fix what I could of the mess he made and then sprinkle some the haus pils over each aflicted spot annointing them with beer 2 be goodness.
I'll cry with you, some bustard something broke my centennial last year! But it grew back I know what your feeling though the next 2 weeks will be trying no doubt.
Hang in there run to your nearest home brew stat. The hop front will improve.
Hearing that hurts my heart.
I planted 3 rhizomes last fall against the neighbors privacy fence ( with his permission) he took down the privacy fence 2 days ago. I cant even remember exactly where hey are now.
350lbs is nothing compared to the 3500 aphids that land on the plant later on. Good luck.
It sucks. I had frost and other things kill my sprouts the first year and second year. A cut worm got one of them. They will grow back. Maybe a bit of a late start, but they will catch up.
My dog just dug up one of mine - probably due to the Moo-Naure that I just dug into the soil. Time to build a fence.
Sweetcel: "try this, it was dry-hopped with a lot of climax."
