Dear Sirs,
Just curios regarding Col.Magisterio. It seems this might be the same Colonia that had a charity once called “Children of the Dump” and subsequently is now know as “School of Champions” and if this be the case it might be interesting to obtain further information. I had contacted someone called “Art” with a (gmail address) and a friend and myself arranged to meet him at Sams and after 40 minutes he was a ‘no show’ so we left.
He was given a Cell No and therefor had no excuse not to call. A subsequent Email to him resulted in no response ! We were given to understand from friends who had made donations.....there was some kind of a power struggle happening ? So if anyone knows the ins and outs, this would be appreciated as we are offering to volunteer and one of us is totally fluent in Spanish. Thanks.
Robin.
Hello Robin,
The folks involved in this project are “wintering” tourists from Manitoba, Canada and are not associated with “Children of the “Dump” to the best of our knowledge. Lyse and Phil gave us permission to give out their e-mail address to anybody genuinely interested in participating to help their cause.
Here is their e-mail lysephilrioux@hotmail.com
I´m glad we have received so many e-mails in response to the article and once again want to thank Lyse and Phil as well as our readers for showing so much compassion.

Dear Editor,
Nice to see the change to a serif font on the editorial page.
While san-serif fonts are easier to read on a screen, serif fonts are better on paper. Also, a persons reading speed is faster with serif fonts.
When are you going to change the rest of the paper to serif fonts?
What happened to the Sudoku puzzle?

Hello TJ,
I appreciate your observation as well as your keen eye. The Sudoku was omitted in the last issue due to lack of adequate space. It will be back in this week.

Dear Editor,
Thank you for you comprehensive and illuminating article, ‘Let’s Talk Trash Again, March 6th. Those of us who live south of Old Town see the garbage containers over-flowing on a regular basis. At my last count, driving for 8.5 kilometers on Route 200, there were fourteen full waste sites, one large brown Christmas tree and an enormous amount of papers, bottles, etc., strewn about.
Not only is the uncollected garbage an eyesore, but the litter that’s collecting is a disgrace. Puerto Vallarta had once been called “one of the cleanest cities in the world.”
In the U.S. some cities have allowed private companies to advertise with their logos and the slogan ‘this mile maintained by the ABC Company.’ They send out employees to pick up the trash for their portion of the highway. They get free publicity, we get clean roadways. Is this a possibility here?

Hello Barbara,
I certainly hope that this would be a possibility here in Puerto Vallarta, that´s an excellent idea. Ronald Walker, the contributor of the article is very active in promoting a more “ecological conscience” in the community. His website http://www.grupoecologico.com is very comprehensive and even has a Recycling Directory with address and phone numbers of the respective Centers for plastics, batteries, metals and so on.
The Tribune applauds Mr. Walker for his efforts and will continue to publish his articles as we receive them.

Hi,
I work at Elements Realty Group at 39 Lazaro Cardenas, Bucerias and so many times customers ask for a copy of the Tribune. Can we get some dropped off here? Or is there somewhere I can go to pick some up? They are so popular.
Thanks very much,

Hello Teresa,

Dear Editor
Well, the Tribune continues to push the controversial HCG diet but being a balanced publication, I feel for each “article” touting the product and its purveyor, you should also publixh the opposing view:
The Mayo Clinic’s view of the hCG Diet:
Caloric Intake
Mayo Clinic nutritionist Jennifer K. Nelson says it’s the strict, semi-starvation diet that accounts for weight loss in dieters who receive hCG injections or take hCG supplements, -- not the effects of the hormone itself!
The hCG diet cuts your calories drastically to between 500 and 800 a day in what amounts to being a “semi-starvation diet.” This is between 1/4 to 1/2 of the calories that are normally recommended for good health, Nelson points out, and with so few calories consumed, rapid weight loss is practically guaranteed.
End Results
If you follow the hCG regimen, complete with a strict diet that’s extremely low in calories, short-term weight loss is the end but not the final result. Nutritionist Nelson indicates that you’ll probably regain the weight you lost on the hCG diet after you complete it.
A healthier way to lose weight permanently is to acquire better eating habits and add physical activity into your lifestyle.

Hello Luigi,
Thank you for your comment, I´d like to point out that this is a paid advertisement from Dr. Lee, not something that the Tribune is “pushing”. The Tribune is indeed impartial and therefore, when space allows, will print all opposing views to any issue or article as long as they are not a mere rant and rave but rather well founded, articulate and non-offensive.

Dear Editor
In your recent article headed AMIGOS DE MAGISTERIO 2011 there was not
any form of contact via e-mail or phone to connect with Lyse or Phillip
Rioux for people to help with this necessary situation, so could you please
supply me with this.
Thanks you so much (the papers great by the way, you are doing a very good
job)
