EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS FOR YOUR PETSJust as we prepare for the unexpected we must consid-

er for the needs of our animal companions. The elements for their safety and security fall into three areas: (1) Planning and preparation for an event; (2) Protection and manage-ment during an event and (3) The subsequent safety, secu-rity and support needed to insure their survival during that period of time as your community mobilizes and regroups. Pet emergency kits are suggested for their minimum needs:

Provide an emergency container (33 Gal. Unit on wheels - Keep away from building or adjacent to garage)

Maintain food, water and nutritional supplements for at least two weeks. They may drink from pools that are safe.

Maintain a first aid kit with bandages, gauze rolls, an-tiseptic, pain medication thermometer, scissors and eye drops with back-up medication to sustain your pet until ser-vice become provided.

Maintain separate leashes in your kit for dogs, cats, rep-tiles and other small animals. Keep muzzles for dogs that may become aggressive when emotionally upset or have anxiety because of the event.

Collars - Identification tags, which are always worn on the pet, with pet name, your name, address, telephone number, and ICE In Case of Emergency number preferably out of state - A separate tag can also indicate medication and dosage. A Micro-chip imbedded under the skin by a vet. Also, maintain extra pictures in case your animal gets loose during an event so that you can give it to authorities and emergency volunteers assisting in the recovery period.

Records - Keep a photo copy of vaccinations given in emergency kit. Maintain a plastic zip bag with a current picture, veterinary medical visits, including; veterinarian’s name, office address, and phone number. Also, include a letter authorizing any one you designate to take care of the animals.

Include scooper and plastic bags to pick up waste, kit-ty litter/ boxes etc. Maintain a 5/gal. Container with lid to store waste in a plastic bag until trash services are re-in-stated by your community.Keep extra towels, blankets and favorite toys in the emergency container.

Your Pet is a special member of your family, provide for them as you would yourself and be prepared. They depend on you.

BIG Trouble!

A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessively mischievous. They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew that if any mischief occurred in their town, their sons were probably involved.

The boys’ mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The clergyman agreed, but asked to see them individually.

So the mother sent her 8-year-old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon.

The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, “Where is God?”

They boy’s mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there with his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed.

So the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone, “Where is God?”

Again the boy made no attempt to answer.

So the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy’s face and bellowed, “WHERE IS GOD!?”

The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.

When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, “What happened?”

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, “We are in BIG trouble this time, dude...

God is missing--and they think WE did it!”

No Fishing!

A couple went on vacation to a fishing resort up north. The husband liked to fish at the crack of dawn; the wife preferred to read. One morning the husband returned after several hours of fishing and decided to take a short nap. The wife decided to take the boat out.

She was not familiar with the lake so she rowed out, anchored the boat, and started reading her book. Along comes the sheriff in his boat, pulls up alongside and says, “Good morning, Ma’am. What are you doing?”

“Reading my book,” she replies as she thinks to herself, “Is this guy blind or what?”

“You’re in a restricted fishing area,” he informs her.

“But, Officer, I’m not fishing. Can’t you see that?”

“But you have all this equipment, Ma’am. I’ll have to take you in and write you up.”

“If you do that, I will charge you with rape,” snaps the irate woman.

“I didn’t even touch you,” growls the sheriff.

“Yes, that’s true ... but you have all the equipment ...”

Moral: Never argue with a woman who knows how to read!

THE NEW “ROADS” ARE PAVED!! Phase two has completely

been repaved with a new im-proved base that will last many years into the future.

Thanks to all the residents for your patience and help during the renovation of the access “roads” ,

We believe that there is a “cat” epidemic going on in Spanish Ranch #1 MHP. Cats are becom-ing a huge problem and a chal-lenge.

If you have cats as pets, KEEP THEM INDOORS PLEASE.

Here is an Interesting article about sewer systems and what goes down the toilet:

Increasingly popular bathroom wipes — pre-moistened tow-elettes that are often advertised as flushable — are being blamed for creating clogs and backups in

sewer systems around the nation.

Wastewater authorities say wipes may go down the toi-

let, but even many labeled flush-able aren’t breaking down as they course through the sewer system. That’s costing some municipali-ties millions of dollars to dispatch crews to unclog pipes and pumps and to replace and upgrade ma-chinery.

The problem got so bad in this western New York community this summer that sewer officials set up traps — basket strainers in sections of pipe leading to an oft-clogged pump — to figure out which households the wipes were coming from. They mailed letters and then pleaded in person for residents to stop flushing them.

“We could walk right up, knock on the door and say, ‘Listen, this problem is coming right from your house,’” said Tom Walsh, senior project coordinator at South & Center Chautauqua Lake Sewer Districts, which was dispatching crews at least once a week to clear a grinder pump that would seize up trying to shred the fibrous wipes.

The National Association of Clean Water Agencies, which rep-resents 300 wastewater agencies, says it has been hearing com-plaints about wipes from sewer systems big and small for about the past four years.

That roughly coincides with the ramped-up marketing of the “flushable cleansing cloths” as a cleaner, fresher option than dry toilet paper alone. A trade group says wipes are a $6 billion-a-year

industry, with sales of consumer wipes increasing nearly 5 percent a year since 2007 and expected to grow at a rate of 6 percent an-nually for the next five years.

One popular brand, Cottonelle, has a campaign called “Let’s talk about your bum” and ads show-ing people trying to wash their hair with no water. It ends with the ta-gline: “You can’t clean your hair without water, so why clean your bum that way?”

Manufacturers insist wipes la-beled flushable aren’t the prob-lem, pointing instead to baby and other cleaning wipes marked as nonflushable that are often being used by adults.

“My team regularly goes sewer diving” to analyze what’s causing problems, said Trina McCormick, a senior manager at Kimber-ly-Clark Corp., maker of Cotton-elle. “We’ve seen the majority, 90 percent in fact, are items that are not supposed to be flushed, like paper towels, feminine products or baby wipes.”

Wastewater officials agree that wipes, many of which are made from plastic, aren’t the only cul-prits but say their problems have escalated with the wipes market.

Vancouver, Wash., sewer offi-cials say wipes labeled as flush-able are a big part of a problem that has caused that city to spend more than $1 million in the last five years replacing three large sewage pumps and eight smaller ones that were routinely clogging.

To prove their point, they dyed several kinds of wipes and sent them through the sewer for a mile to see how they would break up. They didn’t.

Those labeled flushable, engi-neer Frank Dick said, had “a lit-

tle rips and tears but still they were intact.”

The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, which serves Montgomery and Prince George’s counties in Maryland, has also spent more than $1 million over five years installing heavy-duty grinders, while the Orange County, Calif., Sanitation District, in a single year recorded 971 “de-ragging” maintenance calls on 10 pump stations at a cost of $320,000.

Clogging problems in Wauke-sha, Wis., prompted the sewer authority there to create a “Keep Wipes out of Pipes” flier. And Ocean City, Md., and Sitka, Alas-ka, are among cities that have also publicly asked residents not to flush wipes, regardless of whether they are labeled flushable.

The problem got worldwide at-tention in July when London sew-er officials reported removing a

15-ton “bus-sized lump” of wrong-ly flushed grease and wet wipes, dubbed the “fatberg.”

The complaints have prompt-ed a renewed look at solving the problem.

The Association of the Nonwo-ven Fabrics Industry, the trade group known as INDA, recently revised voluntary guidelines and specified seven tests for manufac-turers to use to determine which wipes to call flushable. It also rec-ommends a universal do-not-flush logo — a crossed-out stick figure and toilet — be prominently dis-played on non-dispersible prod-ucts.

The wastewater industry would prefer mandatory guidelines and a say in what’s included but sup-ports the INDA initiatives as a start. Three major wastewater associa-tions issued a joint statement with INDA last week to signal a desire to reach a consensus on flushabil-ity standards.

“If I’m doing the test, I’m going to throw a wipe in a bucket of wa-ter and say it has to disintegrate,” said Rob Villee, executive direc-tor of the Plainfield Area Regional Sewage Authority in New Jersey.

Nicholas Arhontes, director of facilities support services in Or-ange County, Calif., has an even simpler rule for what should go down the toilet.

“Only flush pee, poop and toilet paper,” he said, “because those are the only things that sanitary sewers were really designed for in the old days.”
