Delgado was a university student in Veracruz when he first met the Starkells nine years ago. Jeff Starkell, who had come that far with his brother and father, had just returned to Winnipeg, convinced that to continue the canoe trip would be suicide.

Their first attempt at crossing the Gulf of Mexico had nearly killed the three of them. They were grounded in Veracruz for three months, waiting for spring to bring calmer waters to the gulf and in the meantime, were searching for someone to replace Jeff.

Most Mexicans assumed Don and Dana were crazy when they said they had paddled to Mexico from Winnipeg, Delgado laughs. Did he believe them? “Their skin was black and their hair white. It was incredible, but yes.”

Delgado befriended the duo, rescuing them from their stifling, ant-infested hotel and bringing them to live in his boarding house. There, the Starkells learned Spanish and Delgado learned English, and a strong bond developed.

For so many months, Dana explains, he and his father had come to block out everything that didn’t relate to their survival. Now Gabby, as he calls himself, was part of that survival. He helped them get needed supplies, translate for the various immigration officials, and keep them out of trouble in a different country.

For Gabby, the Starkells were the first Canadians he had ever met. Their trip sounded fantastic and more and more he began to think about joining them.

At the time, Delgado says, he was struggling to overcome what was the start of a drug habit. “I was a little bit into drugs. Life was not going well.”

Gabby looked at the Starkell challenge as an opportunity to turn his life around, and build his self-esteem.

July 15, 1970 was the celebrated event when Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh , rode a carriage from the CNR (Canadian National Railways) station in Winnipeg down wide Broadway Street. In the following carriages were both Prince Anne and Prince Charles. Their eventual destination winding straight down Broadway Street was the Manitoba Provincial Legislative Building. At the Legislative Building , underneath the famous Manitoba Golden Boy, the Queen was to be in attendance to make a speech commemorating the very date on which Manitoba entered the Confederation of Canada , then part of the “British Empire”.

Along that very route it was estimated that some 100,000 people ( fully 1/10 or 10 % of the population of the whole far flung province of Manitoba), to cheer on the Royal Family. Arriving on the grounds of the Provincial “Lege”, the party received a full 21 gun salute, where the Queen and her entourage were greeted yet fully another 15,000 persons.

    Join the new Manitoba Lotteries MS Walk which takes place this April and May 2009 across the Province of Manitoba Canada.   This event has been reenergized  and will enable Manitobans to help MS .   The website is www.mswalks.ca .  Or you can simply call the toll free phone number 1-800-268-7582 to register by phone. 

      It is either well known by suffers of MS and their family or sometimes less well known both in and outside of the province that Manitoba and the Saskatchewan areas seem to have among the highest incidence of MS in the world .  Furthermore statistical studies have shown and demonstrated that within a generation , new imigrants and their families are up to the same values of prevalence and incidence .  Why now one seems to know or is sure.  It appears to be something environmental – but just like the location of the ebola virus – no one is sure why .  Some think it could be well water .  Yet this does not explain the incidence of MS among members of the aboriginal commmunites.

        According to a report in the CBC ( the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation):

Canada has one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis in the world, according to an international survey.

The 2008 Atlas of Multiple Sclerosis showed MS strikes 133 people out of every 100,000 in Canada, the fifth highest rate among countries surveyed between 2004 and 2005.

Prevalence was higher in the United States, Germany, Norway and Hungary, according to the World Health Organization and the Multiple Sclerosis International Foundation, which published the report.

Some people with MS experience little disability during their lifetime. But up to 60 per cent are no longer fully able to walk 20 years after onset, which has major implications for their quality of life and costs to society, the report said. Symptoms appear around 30 years of age on average.

“The Atlas of MS reveals how these implications impact women more than men, by at least two to one, at an age when they are starting a family and developing a career,” said Dr. Benedetto Saraceno, director of the WHO’s department of mental health and substance dependence.

Canada has been a leader in terms of diagnosing, treating and working to improve the quality of life of people with MS. But keeping people with MS employed remains a challenge, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada said.

Canadian women are more than three times more likely to get multiple sclerosis than men, according to a major study published in November 2006. Among those born in the 1930s, about two women contracted MS for every one man, at a ratio of 1.9 to 1. For those born in the 1980s, the incidence has grown to exceed 3.2 cases for every one case among men.

Why the sudden increase in the neurodegenerative disease, which attacks the brain and spinal cord, causing inflammation and damage that can lead to paralysis and sometimes blindness?

We don’t know. We don’t know what causes MS. We don’t know what cures MS. The whys and wherefores of this mysterious disease have bedevilled scientists, health-care workers and victims for nearly 200 years.

Recent speculation about the cause has ranged from genetics to environment to vitamin deficiencies to even the birth control pill.

Health officials consider a country to have a “high” rate if they have more than 30 cases per 100,000.

The incidence among the provinces varies, from a high of 340 cases for every 100,000 people in the Prairies to a low of 180 cases per 100,000 in Quebec, according to a 2005 study by researchers at the University of Calgary.

Those aged 15 to 40 are most at risk. One out of every two Canadians know someone with MS.

People who live closest to the equator have the lowest incidence of MS.

However, that doesn’t explain why the disease is nearly absent among Canada’s Inuit in the High Arctic and among indigenous people in North America and Australia, or why it is rarely found in Japan.
Study suggests MS is environment-based, preventable

The study on the rising incidence of women with MS was done by a team of researchers led by George Ebers, a professor of neurology at the University of Oxford. It appears in the November 2006 issue of the journal Lancet Neurology.

The higher incidence of MS among women may not be bad news, according to the researchers — because it may help to shed light on what causes the disease.

“What is going on here is something presumably that is preventable,” said Ebers, who was the lead author of the study.

“We just need to find out what it is in the environment. Because it has to be in the environment: your genes don’t change over two generations, three generations.”
Higher estrogen levels, less sunlight blamed

There has also been speculation that because MS is generally more prevalent in colder climates far north of the equator and far south of the equator, it may be due to vitamin D deficiencies.

The body produces the vitamin in response to sunlight and so vitamin D levels fall off in colder countries and in winter because the sun’s rays aren’t intense enough.

Because of the rising incidence of MS among women and because it seems to have started in the 1960s, many others have speculated that the cause may be connected to higher levels of the hormone estrogen due to the introduction of the birth control pill.

But Ebers, who spent 22 years at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ont., before going to Oxford, rejects these factors as likely explanations.

“I think one of the things one thinks of here is either that it’s going to be something in the environment or it is going to be an environmental interaction with genes.”

It can well be said that both Winnipeg and the Province of Manitoba , Canada  have a remarkable history as well as historical record.  Indeed both can be said to have had a thriving and prosperous historical growth and record of their growth.

Whether this is the result of geography , its placement on the map , or the placement as the keystone to the growing west of Canada or to the potential of the true northern Canadian regions , none of this can be disputed.
