Basamos este aviso de alerta en el hecho de que de los seis candidatos que solicitaron ser considerados para la posición, tres de ellos ya se han postulado en contra de McGovern y han perdido gracias al buen juicio de los votantes del Distrito E. Segundo, también fue basado en la cantidad de empleados del departamento escolar que vino a favor de que no escogieran a una persona minuciosa como la que están tratando de reemplazar. Eso quiere decir que el Superintendente Escolar Wilfredo T. Laboy quiere desesperadamente que escojan a alguien que no entre en discordia con él por la forma en que despilfarra nuestro dinero. Queremos recordar a los concejales que si los votantes del Distrito E seleccionó aparatosamente a Amy McGovern no una vez, sino tres veces, fue porque no le tienen confianza a Laboy y quieren que quien reemplace a McGovern sea tan meticulosa como ella y quizá más aún. ¡Concejales de Lawrence, por favor, no se conformen con otro cuño de aprobación!

No importa cómo lo llamemos, no importa dónde lo encontremos, la vida que lleva es valiosa. Al igual que las ardillas y los pájaros, los gatos salvajes no son sociables y, por lo general, pelean por la supervivencia en la calle. Pero, ¿de dónde vienen los gatos como éstos? Nacidos en la calle, estos gatos que no son esterilizados finalmente forman colonias y establecen su hogar en cualquier parte donde puedan encontrar alimento. Los machos merodean a las hembras; las hembras quedan preñadas. Y el ciclo de procreación continúa. Para ayudarlos, Alley Cat Allies cuenta con un plan económico que no sólo reduce las poblaciones de gatos salvajes, sino que mejora y prolonga la vida de los miembros de la colonia. Se denomina Trap, Neuter, and Return (o TNR, que significa atrapar, esterilizar y devolver). Así es, devolver. Para conocer más sobre este probado método compasivo e ingenioso de control de la población, o realizar una contribución, ya sea de dinero o tiempo, visite www.alleycat.org. Es la mejor solución a la hora de cuidar a los gatos salvajes. COLABORE CON TRAP, NEUTER, AND RETURN
