Soft water and a benefit to the environment Submitted There are a number of reasons why it’s good for your health to use Culligan water treatment solutions in your home—not the least of which being the environment.

Culligan’s soft water and drinking water solutions offer a number of environmentally friendly bene¿ts.

• Reduce the chemicals you use around the house. Sinks, faucets, tubs and showers come cleaner with fewer harsh chemical cleaning products.

• Use less energy.

Culligan’s products are energy ef¿cient and the Culligan Bottle-Free coolers are Energy Star rated.

• Minimize dirty water discharge. Your dishwasher and washing machine will use less detergent and soap.

• Clean up land¿lls.

Your family will drink fewer single-serve bottles of water, saving thousands of bottles from ending up in land¿lls.

• Recycle. Culligan recycles or reuses 5-gallon water bottles, which saves even more land¿ll space, emissions and oil. **************** Social Commitment Culligan is committed to delivering environmentally friendly products and solutions that minimize the impact on the environment while bringing bene¿ts to its customers. Some of its recent innovations in this area include the Culligan High-Ef¿ciency series of water conditions and Culligan’s Energy Star rated Bottle-Free coolers that

help businesses reduce the use and disposal of plastic bottles.

Culligan participates in disaster relief programs globally and locally. Culligan International has partnered with Convoy of Hope in Haiti to provide clean water in an eco-friendly way, using portable ¿ltration systems instead of plastic water bottles.

In Japan, Culligan provided bottled water to residents affected by the tsunami. The local Culligan Man participates in his community, supporting local events, providing water in an emergency and leading in local water issues.

Soft water can reduce the chemicals you need for cleaning and can minimize dirty water discharge.

Water Day matters A billion people around the world still don’t have access to safe drinking water, while we Canadians are busy running our dishwashers half-empty, watering our gardens with drinking water, and ignoring dripping taps for weeks at a time.

Fresh water is becoming an increasingly rare commodity around the world. Overseen by the United Nations, World Water Day, to be held on March 22 this year, is the perfect occasion to think about all that is at stake. This year’s theme is “Water and Food Security”.

Fresh water is as essential to life as fresh air.

Even though 70 percent of our planet is covered with water, only 2.5 percent of it is not saltwater. Unfortunately, this precious resource is abused and wasted. That is even more worrying

when we consider that the world’s population continues to grow, leading to an ever-increasing demand for fresh water year after year. If the world continues to consume water at the same rate, two-thirds of the global population will be without drinkable water by 2025.

To lessen the impact of water shortages, many countries have organized action plans for its conservation.

These action plans have a direct and favourable impact on the environment, but to overcome this unprecedented crisis the general population must also get involved. By reducing our daily consumption we can conserve fresh water supplies and at the same time protect the fragile balance of ecosystems, without which all life forms are threatened.

IT PAYS TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

HARD AND SOFT WATER. Dishwashers alone can't keep glasses spot-free if you have hard water. But a Culligan® Water Softener gives you spotless glassware while cutting operating costs as well as salt and water usage, saving you money on monthly bills!

Coroner releases name of snowmobiler killed in avalanche The BC Coroners Service has conÂżrmed the identity of the snowmobile operator who died in an avalanche southeast of Sparwood on March 9, 2012.

The deceased is Steven Burke Hall, aged 33, of Birchcliff, Alberta.

Mr. Hall was one of a party of six snowmobilers riding in the South Corbin Road area on the afternoon of March 9. Three of the party had stopped for lunch.

The other three, including Mr. Hall, were continuing uphill when an avalanche struck.

Investigation into the case continues.

The BC Coroners Service expresses its sympathy to the family and friends of Mr. Hall, and also our appreciation

to the avalanche technicians, search-andrescue teams and volunteers who worked so diligently on the rescue and recovery efforts.

The BC Coroners Service would also like to take this opportunity to encourage all users of B.C.’s back country to heed the recent avalanche warnings issued by the Canadian Avalanche Centre. The centre states that the risk of avalanches in much of B.C. is now high.

The warning includes the mountains of the South Coast Inland, the Columbia Mountains from near Prince George in the North to the U.S. border in the south, and B.C.’s South Rockies.

Premier outlines her job plan for province

Gregarious Gardener

Premier Christy Clark released today the sixmonth progress report for ‘Canada Starts Here: The BC Jobs Plan’, which clearly outlines the steps taken by our government to promote economic investment and job growth in British Columbia.

“Six months ago we put in place a plan to focus on job creation, protection and promotion. And today I am pleased to report on the accomplishments we have delivered,” said Premier Christy Clark.

“We clearly set out our objectives to British Columbians in our ‘Canada Starts Here’ jobs plan and our government has worked hard to not just talk the talk. Today’s report measures our performance and identi¿es the work we still need to do. I am proud of the progress we have made, our continued economic growth and the number of new jobs added to our economy. Our government remains focused on the priorities of B.C. families: jobs, economic growth and opportunity.”

‘Canada Starts Here: The BC Jobs Plan’ builds on our government’s solid foundation of prudent ¿scal management to attract investment and open new markets for B.C. products and services, and to create jobs for British Columbians.

As part of the plan, B.C. is making smart investments in infrastructure and is working hard to ensure British Columbians have the right skills for tomorrow. According to the latest data, we are see real results from our focused efforts. British Columbia has added 39,900 net new jobs to the economy.

This report to British Columbians measures our results, identi¿es what we have accomplished and where we still have work to do.

This update on also serves to keep our government focused on British Columbian’s number-one priority: to grow and protect jobs.

Speci¿c achievements made during the last six months include: * In less than six months, four mines have begun construction, received key approvals or permits or had operations extended.

The backlog of notice of work applications for mines has also been reduced by almost twothirds. Our government

is committed to eight new mines and the expansion of another nine mines currently operating in British Columbia by 2015. * The National Energy Board has approved a 20-year export licence for the Kitimat lique¿ed natural gas (LNG) facility - the ¿rst of its kind in Canada. This is a big step toward the jobs plan’s goal to bring at least one LNG pipeline and terminal online by 2015, and another three in operation by 2020. * $50 million has been committed toward terminal, road and rail improvements at the Deltaport container facility. Another $15 million was invested to support road and rail utility infrastructure expansion at the Port of Prince Rupert. Our government also committed $5 million to improve border infrastructure and information systems. * We established the

Major Investments Of¿ce, dedicated to working with investors proposing large projects with the potential to create large numbers of jobs. * Regional Work Force Table forums have been held in various locations throughout the province, as well as Regional Economic Investment Pilots in Campbell River, Barriere-McBride and the North Fraser region. * The Immigration Task Force has been established and has toured the province, seeking advice and input from communities and employers about their ongoing support for immigration and the role immigrants will play in ¿lling the forecasted one million jobs openings over the next decade. * The BC Jobs and Investment Board has been put in place, providing objective analysis and recommendations on the jobs plan’s progress.

* Ensuring British Columbians are trained for the jobs of tomorrow is a key piece of the BC Jobs Plan. Over $500 million is being invested annually for labour market

and training programs, targeted to meeting regional and industry labour market needs. A trades training confersee Premier page 6

Nutrition and Sprouting Did you know that gardening seeds have arrived at Top Crop Garden, Farm & Pet and not only can they be used for growing, but sprouting and eating as well? We have wheat, barley, alfalfa, lentils, mustard, radish, cow peas and last but not least cat grass seeds – all of them available for the home sprouters.

Just by soaking the seeds overnight and then rinsing them three to four times per day for the next few days, they come ‘alive’ and are a wonderful addition to any meal. Since March is nutrition month, we thought it was the best time to talk about sprouts and sprouting.

Sprouts contain nutrients, enzymes, and plant compounds that can help combat coronary artery disease. Green leafy sprouts contain high levels of anti-oxidants that enhance protection against the effects of aging. Sprout for optimal health and to fight cancer! A substance called phytoestrogen in alfalfa and red clover sprouts may help to prevent breast and prostate cancer. Also, radish sprouts have been identified as having extremely high anticancer potential. Research from Germany has shown sprouting wheat kernels decreases gluten proteins while increasing folate.

Some tips on individual types of sprouts: Alfalfa sprouts contain “saponins” - organic compounds that lower bad LDL cholesterol and stimulate the immune system, in fact they are supposed to contain over 450% more saponins than the unsprouted seed.

When eating pea sprouts not only do they taste like you are in the garden, eating fresh peas, but sprouting increases the availability of zinc and magnesium.

Our hard red winter wheat can be made into wheatgrass and then eaten in salads or juiced.

Wheatgrass juice is a powerful detoxifier, alkalizes the blood, neutralizes toxins, and contains beneficial enzymes and is sweet to eat. Barley grass, while not as sweet as wheat, has good protein, fibre and amino acids.

Arugula sprouts have a very strong peppery taste and feel. This is not a mild tasting sprout.

It should be added to other sprouts, raw sprouted soups and raw salads, but should not be used as a base for soups and salads.

Sprouts of broccoli have recently been found to contain large quantities of inducers of enzymes that protect against carcinogens.

Levels of these inducers are 10 to 100 times larger than found in broccoli heads.

We also want to give our four legged friends the best of care, so we offer already sprouted cat grass and cat grass seed. Letting your cat or other pet eat the grass provides several benefits. Cat grass adds fibre and vitamins to your cat's diet, vital to the overall health of your pet. It can also help eliminate hairballs and satisfy your cat's craving for greens.

The International Sprout Growers Association compiles research findings and in-depth articles about the nutrition and health benefits of sprouts. See www.isga-sprouts.org to read more.

Till next time... happy sprouting.

ence was also held on Dec. 5, 2011, attracting more than 160 leaders from training and education, business, labour, government and trade organizations. * As part of opening new markets with Asia Paci¿c, the Province embarked on the BC Jobs and Trade Mission to China and India in November. The trade mission established 60 business deals and

partnership agreements across six sectors, including transportation, seafood, LNG, mining, post-secondary education and forestry.

Now that much work has been done to re-orient government toward jobs creation, the next six months will concentrate on sector strategies for forestry, mining, agrifoods, transportation, international education and technology.

“The jobs plan has three key pillars -open-

ing markets, particularly with the Asia Paci¿c, strengthening our infrastructure to get goods to market, and working with employers and communities to encourage job creation, said Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation Pat Bell. “I’m encouraged to see that in the ¿rst six months’ progress is being made on all these fronts, and am eager to see the results of the next six months.”

College of the Rockies has been an awesome place to begin my post-secondary education. It is especially great because of the small class sizes and one-on-one time with the instructors. The East Kootenay Scholastic Distinction Scholarship saved me thousands of dollars in tuition.

Everyone should apply for scholarships!

Local RCMP constable to speak on cyber-bullying at college Submitted by the Cranbrook CFUW In their ongoing education efforts in the East Kootenay, the Cranbrook Canadian Federation of University Women Club is hosting a lecture at the College of the Rockies on April 19th.

Guest speaker, RCMP Constable Lisa Schlatter, will be speaking on Cyber bullying, a new but truly devastating form of bullying seen in the schools around the world, even in Cranbrook area schools.

Schlatter said, “Cyber bullying is the use of new technologies such as the internet, networking sites, and test messages to intimidate or harass an individual.

It is unique in that it is anonymous and can be harsh as there is not face to face contact. No one can see the reactions to the messages and it is hard to convey emotions through cyberspace.

With technology being everywhere and

accessible by all, it is far reaching. Anything posted on the internet cannot be removed. It is a permanent record.

Cyber bullying is a real and effects youth more

than most people realize.”

This is such a worldwide issue, programmes such as “Law & Order” have done episodes on the damaging effects of

cyber bullying.

The Cranbrook Club of the CFUW encourage parents, siblings, victims, grandparents to join them in learning what we can do as

individuals and peers to stop, to understand and to overcome cyber bullying.

Questions and concerns about all types of bullying will also be on the agenda.

RECEIVERSHIP AUCTION

The lecture will be held at the College of the Rockies, Lecture Theatre Room #250 on April 19th, 7pm sharp. Donations will be gratefully accepted

at the door for ongoing East Kootenay Projects by the RCMP and the Cranbrook Club of the CFUW.

YOUR CITY....WORKING FOR YOU! Public Safety Responsibility of All This Winter

Improving the safety of the public is behind the City of Cranbrook campaign asking residents and businesses to help keep your streets and sidewalks clear of snow and ice this winter.

“Regularly clearing ice and snow from your sidewalks and driveways will allow much easier access to your property by the fire department, RCMP or paramedics should an accident or other emergencies happen.” says Cranbrook Fire and Emergency Services Chief Wayne Price.

Residents are also encouraged to avoid pushing or blowing snow from their sidewalks, driveways and any windrows back into the street, after the City plows have been by. Clearing snow is not just the responsibility of the City Public Works department, which does the best they can with the resources available to keep the community moving during the winter months. Responsibility also lies with each resident and business owner to help clear around their home or business.

“During and following major snowfalls, our snow removal operation runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and operates with a small fleet of vehicles; four salt/sand trucks with belly plows, two graders and two loaders.” says Public Works Director Joe McGowan. “With this schedule and the equipment we have, it is reasonable to expect most areas of the City to be cleared within 3 or 4 days of a snowfall, depending on the amount of snow and how fast it comes down.”

City of Cranbrook Snow Removal Policy

As this winter season approaches, we want to remind you of the City of Cranbrook current Snow and Ice Control procedures to better understand why the City clears snow the way it does. The policy in place clearly identifies four levels of priorities for streets for City crews to follow:

STREETS Classification “A” – FIRST PRIORITY

Major streets, hospital zones, roads that access emergency service facilities, roads with severe grades and transit routes will be cleared first. In some instances, snowfall is heavy enough and continual during the plowing process, that once these routes are cleared crews need to start them over again. That often causes a delay in getting to other areas of the City.

SIDEWALKS

Sidewalks also have a priority system, but do not get cleared until the streets are in good enough condition that Public Works can shift personnel to snow clearing on select public sidewalks. As personnel are freed up from roadway snow removal, the City’s practice is to run one and sometimes two machines on sidewalks, beginning in the downtown core. Residents are responsible for clearing windrows in front of their properties; the City does not clear those.

Residents are encouraged not to clear windrows from their properties into the streets; instead move the windrows onto your yard or the boulevard. It is also important to remember that by policy of the City of Cranbrook, Public Works does not clear Rotary Way. For a complete look at the Snow Removal Policy, please visit our website.

Free Community Sponsored Family Swim – Saturday March 17, 2012

Blue Sky Realty Ltd. The Cranbrook Aquatic Centre will hosting another community sponsored family swim on Saturday March 17, 2012 from 4 to 5pm. It will be free for families to swim at this event, compliments of Blue Sky Realty. This is a new initiative by the City of Cranbrook Leisure Services department. Are you or your business interested in sponsoring a family swim? Please contact our aquatics coordinator at 250-489-0224.

Deer Feeding Prohibition Bylaw

Under this bylaw, no one is to provide deer with food by intentionally leaving food, food waste or other attractive edible material intended for the sole purposed of feeding deer. For example, leaving out a bale of hay, a bag of apples or other compostable food scraps on a residential lot or property where these items are not consistently being grown or produced for human consumption would be seen as an infraction to the bylaw. Visit our website and click on ‘Bylaws’ for more on all of our City bylaws.

ders n i m e R Regular

Classification “B” – SECOND PRIORITY

This includes collector streets, the central business district and school zones.

Classification “C” – THIRD PRIORITY

This includes other residential streets within the City whose immediate need for snow and ice control is not as important.

Vehicles can move around with limited congestion at suitable speeds.

Classification “D” – FOURTH PRIORITY

The remaining streets, drives, crescents, lanes and alleys where traffic volume is relatively low. Traffic is able to proceed at lower speeds in these residential areas.

City Hall will be closed Friday April 6 and Monday April 9 for Easter.

City Hall will reopen on Tuesday April 10 at 8:30am.

3 Facts You Need To Know About...

New Resource Roads Law 1. When a forest company no longer needs a resource road, it will decommission the road unless the Crown can afford to carry on maintenance and assume the legal liability of damage to person or property.

2. Bill 26 amends the Occupiers Liability Act to limit the liability of a maintainer of a resource road and of the Crown, so that forest companies and the Crown will be encouraged to not close roads.

3. This change does not impact policy of road closures for wildlife management or other environmental purposes and this change is not part of the yet to be passed Resource Roads Act.

Province contributes to local, provincial sports hosting events Submitted The Province continues to help build local economies through sport by contributing more than $200,000 to support sport hosting events across British Columbia, announced Ida Chong, Minister of

Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

Forty-six grants have been awarded to successful applicants who applied to Hosting BC in December. These grants are helping a wide range of events, from the 2012 Victoria International Rugby

Sevens, to the Sledge Hockey Shoot Out. Events will take place in communities ranging from Aldergrove and Prince George to Port Alberni and Dawson Creek.

One of the events that received a grant is the IPC Coupe NORAM

Cup for para-alpine skiing hosted in Kimberley to the tune of $7,500. “Hosting BC funds help provide to communities right across B.C. the opportunity to attract visitors from Canada and the world, and that supports the

development of local businesses in sectors such as tourism, recreation and hospitality.

Sport plays an important role in the health of B.C. families and our economy,� said Ida Chong, minister Community, Sport and Cul-

tural Development.

Hosting BC supports large sporting events and helps build B.C.’s reputation as a premier event hosting destination. Since 2004, close to $3.7 million in Hosting BC funding has been awarded to sup-

port 462 events in more than 45 communities throughout the province. In 2010-2011, more than 100 events were funded in more than 30 communities.

Dining Guide An informed dining choice expectations.

A pub and its lively atmosphere is the ideal place to enjoy a good meal. Loud music or the sound of televised sports events will mean you can have lively conversations without disturbing the other customers. For a romantic evening, or for serious conversations, a restaurant with a quieter atmosphere and filtered lighting would be a more appropriate choice.

Choosing the atmosphere is as important as the food when you decided to dine out.

A FAMILY MEAL If you’re going out with the children, the ideal choice would be a family restaurant with a playroom or some other kind of entertainment, such as placemats to colour.

Here you can eat quietly without the children getting impatient.

NEW RESTAURANTS Of course it’s always reassuring to choose a well-established restaurant that has a good reputation.

However, discovering new restaurants, which frequently offer an innovative culinary experience such as fusion cuisine, vegetarian meals, raw food dishes, etc, can make a nice change.

LIMITED BUDGETS Even if you have a limited budget for eating out you’ll always be able to ¿nd somewhere that suits your needs. To save money, keep in mind that many restaurants offer weekday specials or menus that can be shared. If you avoid ordering appetizers or aperitifs, it will not only result in a smaller bill but you’ll also be able to eat out more often!

Total Pet has a friend just waiting for you.

There is a new place in Cranbrook for your pet. Opened on March 3, Total Pet is located at #9-12th Ave North.

Across the road from Andres Electronics and across the parking lot from Safeway. In the old Benjamin Moore location.

This large 6,000 square foot location offers a full line of small animals, aquarium Âżsh, reptiles, food and supplies for all types of animals. “We chose Cranbrook for a few reasons. We have a great deal of experience operating in communities like Cranbrook,â€? said Richard Gibbons, president of Total Pet Group. “Cranbrook is a shopping hub for a number of the surrounding communities. We opened a store in Castlegar about two years ago and having a truck continue past Castlegar after dropping there provides a great deal of efÂżciencies for us. We also felt that the Cranbrook market was under serviced in the

Pet specialty area. Our ability to purchase our building allows us to commit to the community for the long term.�

Total Pet Group started in 1976 and has re-

to buy in very large volumes and get the best deals on products. Total Pet stores range in size from 5,600 square feet to 10,860 square feet.

Harmony, from the KCA, shows her recently shorn hair which will be used to make wigs for chemotherapy patients.

Harmony, a student from Kootenay Christian Academy, wanted to do something for the cancer society. Harmony had her long blonde hair cut and gave 12 inches to make a wig. Harmony loves her new haircut and is happy that her cut hair could be used to

make someone feel good that does not have any hair. Harmony is a sweet girl with a big heart. She helps out at Relay for Life in the concession stand. KCA believes in teaching students about serving others, and Harmony is putting this into practice.

FUNDING FOR STUDENTS, NOT FOR WAGE HIKES. The BCTF is demanding a 15 per cent wage hike and other benefits that would cost $2 billion and raise taxes for BC families. Virtually all other public sector unions have settled for no wage increases.

It’s unacceptable that schools are disrupted and that students and their families are inconvenienced over an unreasonable salary demand in difficult economic times. The union is making claims and demands that simply don’t add up.

BCTF CLAIMS AND DEMANDS

FACT

The union wants more paid time outside the classroom – sick leave for teachers on call, expanded bereavement and discretionary leave.

The government wants more time for teacher training and to ensure that Pro-D days really are for professional development.

The union says all teaching positions should be selected on the basis of seniority.

The government supports seniority but qualifications must also count so that math teachers teach math, and science teachers teach science.

The union says that teachers who perform poorly in evaluations will be dismissed – ‘one strike and you’re out’.

The government wants to support teacher improvement through a standardized evaluation process.

The union says that government refuses to negotiate.

There has been over a year of negotiations and 78 full bargaining sessions.

The union says that class size limits have been eliminated.

Class size limits will remain in place on all grades across BC.

The union says that BC has 700 fewer special needs teachers.

2100 new teaching assistants have been hired since 2001. And, with a new $165 million Learning Improvement Fund, we will hire more.

It’s time to focus on what matters most in education – BC’s students. That’s why we are focused on per-student funding which is at an all time high, not on wage increases.

We all want to do more to make BC’s education system even better. It’s the driving force behind BC’s Education Plan that teachers, parents and students are helping to shape.

Teachers care about their students. Parents care about their children’s future.

OBITUARY

Sarah Loeppky 1919-2012 Sarah Loeppky made her transition from this Earthly realm on 11 March at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. She passed on peacefully with her son and daughter-in-law at her side.

Sarah was born in Rheinland, Saskatchewan (near Osler) on September 2, 1919. She grew up there as the youngest of 14 children of Johann A. and Anna Martens. She married Gerhard (George) Loeppky in 1938 and they farmed near Osler until 1967. They moved to Saskatoon, where George worked for the City of Saskatoon until 1983. She and George enjoyed retirement, gardening and socializing. George passed on in May of 2000 and Sarah moved to Cranbrook, BC in 2009 to be near her son, Jack, who moved there in 2007 from the USA. Sarah had a very special relationship with garden plants and farm and pet animals and they provided her with her most cherished activities and memories. She was an excellent cook and loved to bake bread and pastries. These were enjoyed by her family up to her final days.

She is survived by her son, Jack, daughter-in-law Robyn Rader and grandchildren, Kris and Ninya Loeppky, their mother, Janet By, and step grandchildren Samuel and Delaney Montoya. As the last survivor of 14 children, some 20 nephews and nieces also survive her, most residing in Saskatchewan and British Columbia. She also leaves numerous close friends at West Portal Manor in Saskatoon, where she lived from 2000 to 2009, and other friends at Joseph Creek Village Senior’s home in Cranbrook.

Her family is most appreciative of the special care given her by the staff at Joseph Creek Village and Drs. DeBeer and Pieterse of the Tamarack Medical Clinic in Cranbrook for making her last years with us comfortable.

According to her wishes, a memorial service for Sarah will be held in Warman, Saskatchewan at Martens Warman Funeral Home at a later date, with burial in Rheinland, Saskatchewan to follow. Any donations in her memory can be made to the SPCA in Cranbrook, BC or the Saskatoon SPCA. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

Making a difference for unwanted animals one pet at a time

Citizens of Progreso waiting to have their pets seen by visiting veterenarians.

by Dennis McDonald

While reputation

Mexico’s continues

to crumble – thanks to widespread reports

of gangs, corruption, drugs and violence – one group, including a handful of Cranbrook residents living there, are working to make life better in the sometimes beleaguered country.

And they’re starting at ground level – literally – with hundreds of furry four-legged friends.

In short, good things are happening.

This is the story of a former Cranbrook cop and a teacher (The McDonalds,a retired banker and a realtor, (Vic and Debbie Ritchie) snowbirds, living in the town of Progreso, Province of

Yucutan, Mexico I was greeted by ¿ve barking dogs from an obvious variety of parenthoods. All had been street dogs, rescued and adopted by Dan and Cindy, two of the many Canadians living permanently in the beautiful seaside ¿shing village called Progreso.

All but the smallest dog stopped barking and started wagging their tails as soon as they heard me say hello in English. The little guy settled down quickly after Dan walked to the gate to greet me.

We all trooped back to the tastefully refur-

bished beach house that Dan, Cindy and the dogs call home and all ¿ve dogs sat quietly in a circle waiting their turn to gently eat creame cheese from Cindy‘s ¿ngers She said they have to learn to be gentle before they can be adopted. I wanted to learn more about how and why two Canadians have become such a driving force in the dog rescue - spay and neuter program in only threeand-a-half short years.

Dan said when they ¿rst came down from Toronto they noticed the large dog and cat population being fed quite

well by the holidaying Mexican people living in their beach front summer homes, but after they left in the fall and before the ‘Winter Snow Birds’ descended from the USA and Canada, those cats and dogs were forced to compete for food in the garbage they were able to ¿nd and claim as their own.

Many turned to skinny shadows of their previous selves, many others just were not able to survive. Cindy said “The average lifespan of a dog in the street is two years. Most die in puppy-hood.”

Cindy got involved with the spay neuter clinics put on by Planned Pethood organization which was founded by a Veterinarian, Dr. Jeff Young from Colorado. Dr. Jeff , as he is known by everyone, established a franchised Planned Pethood in Merida led by Dr. Tony., Dr. Nelson & Dr. Liliana. His goal is to use his network to transfer knowledge and expertise in low cost Spay and Neutering techniques to other groups which, I am told, he funds, with the expectation that they will pay him back and then give back to their communities through free spay and neutering clinics. “ One unsterilized female dog and her off springs will produce 4 000 dogs over a seven year span. One unsterilized female cat and her off springs will produce 20,000 cats in 4 years.”

Cindy hooked up with two other local advocates, Maura Garcia Lezama, a Mexican teacher and passionate animal rescue believer and with Lydia Saleh, President’s of AFAD Progreso and Merida respectively. Through these two amazing women, Cindy became involved on the planning committee of the large clinics with Planned Pethood. AFAD is a non pro¿t animal shelter that has been in existence for over 15 years and one of the two main partners to Planned Pethood - the other is Sanctuario Evolucion.

Cindy’s background included several years in Canada in the non pro¿t sector with organizations such as the Girl Guides of Canada, the United Way and several hospital Foundations.

Events organizing are part of her past. see Difference page 27

Sue McDonald takes time with a young puppy that was treated and adopted.

Cindy also became part of a 多ve person steering committee to create YAPA, (Yucatan Auyda para Animales - Yucatan Help For Animals) an English speaking voice for volunteerism and communication for the animal rescue world here in the Yucatan.

They formed and coordinated the English speaking contingent for the Progreso campaign consisting of about 100 volunteers, half Canadian from New Brunswick, Quebec, Sas-

katchewan to Alberta and British Columbia, and half American from Tennessee, S. Carolina, Colorado, California, Florida. There were also over 100 volunteer Mexicans from the local High School, the University and the Merida Veterinary School. The Progreso clinic has the largest partnership of Mexican and English speaking volunteers of any other clinic.

The 16 to 20 Veterinarians and their assistants came from Mexicalle, San Miguel de Allande, Mexico City, Cancun, California, Slovakia,

Colorado (via Chad, South Africa), and Dr. Jeff and his crew from Colorado. All Vets and their assistants volunteered their time and paid their own air fare.

Local volunteers and donations provided food, shelter and transportation for the vets. ( Last year Cindy and Dan paid for a bus to transport the Vets from Merida to Progreso.)

Many of the Canadians also offer their homes to the Vets and Techs to stay in while in Progreso and donated all the meals and refreshments for them.

One volunteer, Leslie Beare and her group called Team Leslie brought in over 100 street dogs in a catch and release program in which she personally fed the animals for two months to gain their con多dence allowing her team to touch and care for them, eventually leading to their capture, sterilization and release back to their neighbourhood.

Over a four day period in Merida the Vets performed 1,200 sterilizations and in two days in Progreso, they did another 750 bringing a

new total of procedures performed to 1975 over six days. Over 32 puppies were adopted in the 多rst day of the Progreso clinic. On the very last day of the clinic after six days standing on their feet - this Veterinarian team performed surgeries on a record 415 animals. Not one registered animal was turned away.

Proof positive that there are good things happening in Mexico.
