Sofía Medeles (Ajijic).- Romario Ibarra González, 27 years old, Daniel Parra, 19 years old, and Carlos Amador Uribe, 29 years old are part of the Chapala National Team that will compete in the third edition of the Jalisco Cup 2022. They are all inhabitants of the magical town of Ajijic.
This year the teams compete for a trip to Paris, France, for first place, and a trip to Colombia for second place.
The Jalisco Cup is a state tournament created in 2019. More than 130 teams participate from different municipalities and regions of the state. Each year the winners have won trips abroad.

Javier Sanchez, “Chapala’s most reliable goalkeeper” saved the last penalty kick from the Jocotepec team, winning the game for Chapala.
Jazmín Stengel (Chapala).- Many nerves and few goals. The Copa Jalisco 2022 River Classic match on Sunday, May 8th, between Chapala and Jocotepec was an intense 80 minutes. The match, which ended scoreless, was decided in a penalty shootout in favor of Chapala.
The Chapala team, playing at Juan Rayo Municipal Field, had the home pitch advantage. They took advantage of the strength of their offense to launch constant attacks on Jocotepec’s goal.
They kept up the tension and rhythm of the offense with lots of corner kicks, grazing the goal, without managing to cross the goal. One example was an acrobatic «chilena» move by defender Carlos Ibarra; it flew over the crossbar, despite being an excellent counterattack.
Chapala dominated the game for almost half an hour until the Jocotepec team found a couple of holes in the defense to slip through. Once they got going, they put constant pressure on the Chapala team. Heightened tensions on both sides almost resulted in blows. After a couple of scuffles between the players, the referee decided to penalize both teams, issuing yellow cards to both Chapala’s goalkeeper Javier Sánchez, and the Jocotepec forward.
With the score at zero at the start of the second half, the tired players were still in top form. Jocotepec dominated the first few minutes, with constant ball passing between the danger areas, as well as a series of corner kicks and crosses. One example was a scissor kick by Jocotepec’s Jaime Nava, who headed the ball straight into the goalkeeper’s net.
This prompted Chapala’s technical coach, Iván Guízar, to make changes, reinforcing the offense, and supporting Rafael «El Ratón» Amezcua and Ricardo Vázquez in their plays. The changes paid off and the Chapala team managed to tie up the score.
The strong attacks on both goals continued relentlessly, increasing the crowd’s stress. They shouted «we want a goal» almost every minute. The shouting only stopped when one Jocotepec player was forced to leave the field due to a strong blow to his left shoulder.
The intensity of the match’s final moments abated a little, but the long serves and attempts to score continued until the final whistle. Chapala won the match in a penalty shootout. Javier Sánchez, known as Chapala’s most reliable goalkeeper, saved the last penalty kick, giving Chapala the victory with a 4-3 score.
Chapala remains the undefeated leader of the Southeast 5 Table in round five. With four games played, they have three wins, and one draw (no losses). This season they have scored ten goals for, and only two against, a difference of eight goals; eleven points in total. They are followed by Concepción de Buenos Aires, and Jocotepec, who have nine, and ten accumulated points, respectively.
The winner of the 2022 Jalisco Cup River Classic gets three additional points. In case of a tie, one point is counted for each team, and the second point is decided in penalties. The losing team receives no points.

Some members of my family were athletes at a very young age. In a rather poor and lower middle class environment, sports got the youth ahead and was considered a healthy activity. But when you don’t have a professional trainer or a trained nutritionist or even a notion of the proper preparation for an athlete, this activity can be dangerous.
Why do I say that? Because over the years I have realized that the vast majority of people who venture into the magical world of exercise have no idea how important proper hydration is. They always tell us «drink water» and we drink water: from a jug or from the plastic bottles sold by different brands. These waters do not hydrate, or at least not in the right way. According to the Nutritionist Marcela Torres, specialist in Functional Medicine and Epigenetics, there are two types of hydration: cellular and intracellular. When we drink water that goes through many treatment processes, the water loses its natural minerals, which allows it to go through the outside of the cells leaving the body very quickly. Instead, natural spring waters, or those that go through mineralization processes, reach the inside of the cells being absorbed and used by our entire body.
To say that we are 75% water is simplistic, reducing a much more important process to something almost irrelevant. In reality we are SUBSTRATES, liquids that go through chemical processes that only the organism knows how to produce, measure and combine. Blood, plasma, lymph, cerebrospinal fluid and others are this 75% that are mentioned so much. We depend on a precise and refined production and distribution of nutrients, minerals and proteins so when we are healthy, we are in harmony. In the famous book “La Enfermedad Como Camino” (Illness as a Path) by the Germans Thorwald Dethlefsen and Ruediger Dahlke describe the disease process as a lack of harmony, not only organic but also mental. I will add that our quality of substrates depends on the adequate consumption of nutritious food, water with all its properties, the type of thoughts we have, physical activity and proper rest. This makes us achieve balance to live in fullness.
Did you know that you can make your own moisturizing serum at home? The formula is very simple:
One liter of water
Lemons to taste
A pinch of Himalayan pink salt (or sea salt)
A pinch of baking soda
A moderate amount of agave syrup as a sweetener.
If the person is hypertensive, he/she should consult his/her doctor. Adequate hydration is the cornerstone of the organic balance of all beings on the planet. Do not do intense physical activity if you have not hydrated properly. Some of the symptoms of lack of hydration can be irritability, mental confusion, disorientation, headaches and insomnia. Consult the hydration quantity tables provided by Wikipedia taken from medical publications of important institutions. Health with water, dear reader.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20)
Calmly meditate on your decisions so as not to make mistakes and review your expenses, which are somewhat out of control. Venus, the planet of love, enters your sign and your desires, love dreams and romances can begin to be fulfilled.

CANCER (June 22 – July 22)
The stars affect the issue of friends. Be careful, some of them may disappoint you, but you will have others to rely on.

It is the time to implement the initiatives you have in mind because things can go very well. You will have magical days.
LEO (July 23 – August 23)
Although lunar energy can hinder some success that you thought you had at hand, you will solve the problems that arise and you will end up succeeding. Going unnoticed goes against your nature. Venus is very well aligned with you so you will shine with intensity. Some pleasant surprises will help you forget the bad moments of the past.
VIRGO (August 24 – September 23)
The Moon can make your professional life and communication difficult. However, you will be clear with your words to avoid misunderstandings that could harm you. Your daily affairs can become complicated, so pay special attention to what interests you to follow the course you want. If you want to ease tensions, you will have to make good relations and agree on changes.
LIBRA (September 24 – October 22)
Solar energy is very regenerative and can bring new airs to your life or a very positive change of direction. The good aspects you receive from the planet Mercury favor communication. Therefore, your best strategy to overcome difficulties is to try to talk and clarify things. You can have new experiences that take you away from the routine.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 22)
Do not let yourself get entangled in situations that you can not control or waste energy on issues that are not your responsibility to solve. The time has come to focus on you and to focus your efforts on what is really important to you. The Moon opposite your sign helps you to free yourself from an issue that is stressing you and puts a smile back on your face.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 – December 21)
The stars affect your work and can cause problems to resurface that you thought were already solved. Don’t give up because your efforts will soon bear fruit. In the following days you will have the planet Venus very well aspected and if something worries you about love it is a good time to solve it and regain your smile.
CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
Life can get complicated, but it will be only momentary. You are receiving very positive astral energy and something important that you long for is about to happen. Take the initiative and accept the challenges that life can bring because you will give the best of yourself and success will be yours. Show your feelings and let yourself be loved.
AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 19)
The Moon affects the family environment and there may be some tension, but you will live happy moments and life will compensate you with more than enough. Look to the future with optimism because with the genius you have and your rebellious personality there will be no obstacle you can not overcome. You will find happiness by being supportive and altruistic. Avoid acting selfishly.
PISCES (February 20 – March 20)
Be cautious with your words and beware of misunderstandings, as the Moon affects communication and you may find it difficult to understand those around you. Fate offers you the opportunity to experience new situations, far from your comfort zone. Master your fears and take the plunge because you have the protection of Jupiter in your sign and what happens will be positive for you.

Las selecciones de Chapala y Jocotepec, se enfrentaron con intensidad en el Campo Municipal Juan Rayo, el domingo 8 de Mayo. El clásico ribereño concluyó con un empate a ceros.

Héctor Ruiz Mejía.- La Orquesta Filarmónica de Jalisco (OFJ) se presentó por primera vez en el municipio de Jocotepec.
La asistencia fue un éxito. Cientos de ciudadanos abarrotaron el templo del Señor del Monte para escuchar el primer concierto de la OFJ con la directora invitada Mariana Martínez, de la gira fuera de la Zona Metropolitana de Guadalajara (ZMG) que visitará las 12 regiones de Jalisco.
Noé Reynoso Hermosillo, director de Cultura del municipio, compartió que los 368 boletos que repartió el Ayuntamiento para el recital se agotaron, además, hubo gente de otras delegaciones o municipios que asistieron, poco menos de 500 en total, por la limitante del cupo del lugar.
“Esto, aunque era un evento municipal, fue más un evento regional, porque vino gente de Ocotlán, de Guadalajara, de Jamay, vinieron de la Manzanilla, también de Tizapán”, comentó Reynoso Hermosillo.
Esto también, sin contar la gente que no alcanzó lugar y quienes no pudieron estar todo el evento completo, en contraste con aquellos afortunados, que por una hora y diez minutos, disfrutaron de las interpretaciones más conocidas de Mozart y Bottesini.
“Deberían traer este tipo de eventos más seguido, me encantó, me encantó ver tanta gente disfrutando de verdadera música, entusiasmados por conocer algo fuera de Maluma”, comentó una de las asistentes al musical.
Por su parte, Reynoso Hermosillo se mostró satisfecho por los resultados de la primera presentación de la orquesta en el municipio y aseguró que había intenciones de traerla desde antes, “era muy costo”, además se rehusaban a presentarse fuera de la ZMG.
Este fue el primer concierto de la Filarmónica de Jalisco, de una gira “extensa”, comentó Noé Reynoso, la cual recorrerá las 12 regiones de Jalisco como parte de la estrategia de descentralización de la cultura de la Secretaría de Cultura de Jalisco.
