Mr.
Gutierrez
emigrated from Cuba as a child.
“He learned English from a
bellhop in a Miami hotel, and later
became an American citizen,” said
the President in his remarks.
“When his family eventually
settled in Mexico City, Carlos took
his first job for Kellogg as a truck
driver, delivering Frosted Flakes to
local stores.
Ten years after he started, he was
running the Mexican business.
And 15 years after that, he was
running the entire company.At

Congress Approves $2.43
Million for I-25 Projects in
Colorado Springs
Congress gave final approval to
more than $16 million in funding,
including $2.43 million designated
to Colorado Springs, for Colorado
highway projects when it approved
the 2005 Omnibus spending bill
last Saturday, U.S. Senator Wayne
Allard (R-Colorado) announced
Wednesday.
“This is great news for every
Coloradan who uses these roads.
It will make our roads and
highways smoother and safer,”
Senator Allard said. “I requested
funding for these projects because
they are high-priority items for the
Colorado
Department
of
Transportation. Work will now
proceed on schedule.”
In Colorado Springs, $1.688
million will go toward the
reconstruction of Interstate 25, as
well as an additional $750,000 for
ongoing maintenance.
Funding for these specific
projects is being provided in
addition to Colorado’s share of FY
2005 highway funding under
TEA-21 (the 1998 Transportation
Equity Act for the 21st Century).
That share is expected to total in
excess of $400 million.

CSU – Pueblo Announces Toll-Free Number for Problems with Public
High Altitude Balloon Benefits Because of Computer System
Launch Date
A toll-free number is now open that helps lower income referrals and other information.
The Colorado Space Grant
Consortium at Colorado State
University-Pueblo will launch a
high altitude balloon to a height of
approximately 100,000 feet, or 21
miles. The launch will take place
on campus at 8 a.m. on Saturday,
December 11. The public is
encouraged to attend and witness
the launch.
Two teams of students from
McClelland Middle School have
designed, built, and tested
payloads to be flown on the
balloon. The students, known as
Junior Space Engineers, have
devised science experiments that
will be carried to the edge of space
and will collect valuable data
during this two-hour flight. In
addition, two payloads designed
by CSU-Pueblo and Metro State
College of Denver students will fly
on the same balloon. The total
weight of all payloads and tracking
equipment will be less than 20
pounds.
The wind is expected to carry the
balloon in an easterly direction
toward Kansas. By tracking the
balloon with radio beacons, the
students will be able to give chase
and recover their payloads.
If weather conditions - such as
wind, rain or snow - prevent
launching the balloon on the
morning of December 11, the
launch will be rescheduled for
Sunday, December 12.

AARP Testifies on Benefits of Medication
Education
The American Association of
Retired People (AARP) testified
on the benefits of the state of
Colorado implementing an
evidence based prescription drug
list (EBPDL) in front of the Joint
Budget
Committee
on
Wednesday, December 1.
AARP Legislative
spokesperson Mike McGuire
stated, “This is a win-win
proposition for the state of
Colorado, consumers and
physicians. We’re very pleased
that the Committee members are
open to learning how the state
can realize considerable savings
in the cost of prescription drugs
while ensuring patients are getting
the most effective medication.”
A recent audit of the state
Medicaid system showed that the
state could potentially save $12
million dollars by utilizing
anEvidenced Based Preferred
Drug List. The EBPDL is not a
new concept; it is already
implemented or in the process of
being implemented in all but six
states. There is an educational
web-based component, which will
allow both physicians and
consumers to research the
medication and learn about how
well a drug works as well as
possible side effects. Also,
implementation of an EBPDL
takes into account that
medications
cannot
be
considered “one size fits all”
and therefore AARP supports
the ability of a physician to
choose the medication, which
will workbest for their patient.
“This is a concept that makes
a great deal of sense. Physicians,
pharmacists
and
consumerssupport this concept.
The state audit found the state
would benefit. Forty-four states
have tried itor are currently in
the process of implementing it.
This isan idea whose time has
come,” McGuire concluded.
GUEST EDITORAL
Gonzales: Attorney General for the Country
or for Bush?
Guest editorial by Domenico Maceri
George W. Bush has said a number of times that he admires judges like Antonin Scalia and
Clarence Thomas because he believes their judicial philosophy centers on of the strict interpretation
of the law. His appointment of Alberto Gonzales as US Attorney General reveals the opposite.
Gonzales has a long history of stretching the law for political purposes, particularly to help his
friend who nominated him.
The role of Attorney General is to be the nation’s chief enforcement officer. Given Gonzales’
history of friendship and activist interpretation of the law raise serious concerns about his balanced
approach in serving the country and his friend.
Bush and Gonzales grew up in different circumstances. Bush is the son of privilege who studied
at the best schools not because of his great intellect but rather his position in society. Gonzales, on
the other hand, is the son of poor migrant Mexican farm workers. He attended college because of
his ability and eventually graduated from Harvard Law School.
Although Gonzales has been effective in providing “practical” legal advise to Bush, his service to
justice for those at the low end of the economic ladder is another story. In Texas, Gonzales wrote
memos to advise Governor Bush in death penalty cases that reached his desk about granting or
denying clemency.
Although these memos were considered to be protected by the Attorney-Client Privilege, journalist
Alan Berlow was able to obtain copies under the Public Information Act. His analysis in an article
published in the Atlantic Monthly reveals a pattern of superficial summaries, which provided Bush
little information about the special circumstances of the cases. Often, the convicted individuals
had had weak defenses at trial and in one case a retarded man was executed.
For someone who grew up poor and knows first hand how the lack of opportunities may lead to
disadvantages in law, one has to wonder about Gonzales’ commitment to justice for all including
the underdog.
Gonzales’ most recent and serious concern is his stretching the law to support Bush in his fight
against terrorism. Gonzales has described the Geneva Convention as “obsolete” and “quaint.”
In his role as White House Counsel, Gonzales has helped craft the legal arguments that “enemy
combatants” could be held without the right to see a lawyer. In 2002 Gonzales also put forth the
argument that international torture laws did not apply to Al Qaeda and

$2 Million Grant Put to Good Use
In 2001 Otero Junior College
was awarded a U.S. Department of
Education Title V grant for
Hispanic Serving Institutions
(HSI). The five year grant, in the
amount of approximately $2
million, was the largest federal
grant ever received by OJC. The
college is one of five Hispanicserving colleges in Colorado.
There are only 200 colleges in the
nation who have the designation
of being Hispanic-serving
Institutions.
Pat Malott, controller at OJC, cowrote the grant with Gary Ashida,
vice president of administrative
services. According to Malott, the
Title V grant was written to
improve teaching techniques and
course delivery at the college. It
also addressed the need to focus
more on the education of Hispanic
students in the college’s service
area.
The Title V grant has two
primary goals. Those goals include
enhancing student success and
supporting academic services. To
accomplish those goals, grant
funds have allowed OJC to add
three new staff positions.
Those positions include an
academic counselor whose
primary focus is to recruit and
assist minority students. A second
position funded by the grant is a

Job Posting Bilks Tens of Thousands
This is a scam that may make
you think twice about the
legitimacy of an employment offer
before you accept it. Recently a
number of people in southern
Colorado responded to an ad in a
local paper advertising for an
office manager.
Upon responding to the ad they
were quickly hired, but just as
quickly found themselves the
victims of a scam.
Here’s how it works. A company
calling itself White Chapel
Displays Inc. out of Mount Laurel,
New Jersey advertises for an office
manager or branch manager. The
job seeker calls the 800 number
listed in the advertisement and is
quickly hired on as a “district
branch office manager” to help
keep track of inventory for this
“decorating” company.
The catch comes when White
Chapel Displays says the new
“office manager” needs to look for
office space and make appropriate
“big item” purchases to get the
local business up and running. The
newly hired office manager is sent
a cashier’s check totaling almost
$5000 and is asked to write checks
on this money to pay for the
services needed. A courier is sent
to pick up the checks from the
office manager’s home.
Before the office manager’s
bank can determine that the check
is fraudulent, the payments have
been made and the office manager
is out all of the money. In both
cases White Chapel Displays sent
the “office managers” two checks
totaling nearly $10,000, both of
which were fraudulent. The
company then disappears.
The cashier’s checks are sent
from a non-existing address in
New Jersey. The cell phones used
by White Chapel Displays trace to
Miami, Florida. The website
referred to by the company links
to a company out of London.
According to police
investigating this scam, the
website appears to be legitimate
and is likely a company
unknowingly used in the scam.
This scam ran in the Colorado
Springs’ “Gazette” and the
“Milwaukee Journal” and has
claimed victims in both Colorado
and Wisconsin.
Local police in both states as
well as the BBB of Southern
Colorado are investigating this
scam.
Reminders when applying for
employment:
- Beware of companies asking you
to write checks to cover their
business expenses. Once you write
a check you are responsible for the
funds and there is no recourse if
the company turns out to be
fraudulent.
- Before seeking employment with
an unknown company, call the
BBB at 719-636-1155 or 866-2061800 to check it out! You can also
log onto BBB’s national website
at www.bbb.org for information on
companies in other states.

But Social Security also provides
protection for workers and their
families if the worker is disabled
or dies. These are very important
benefits. If a qualified worker dies
with a spouse and minor children,
Social Security makes monthly
payments to each family member.
The children’s benefits end when
they turn 18. If a worker is disabled
and cannot work, Social Security
pays benefits until the worker is
no longer disabled or reaches the
age for old age benefits.
To qualify for old age benefits,
the government requires 40
“good” quarter-year increments of
work. If the worker has paid into
the system over a ten-year span,
he or she will generally meet this
requirement. Here again, there are
benefits to marriage: a spouse who
has been married to a worker over
a qualifying period of 40 quarteryears of work qualifies to receive
benefits in his or her own right.
These benefits are roughly onehalf the amount of the worker’s
benefits, but are subject to
reduction if the “non-worker”
qualifies for a pension through
some state pension plans, like
PERA in Colorado.
This is a thumb-nail sketch of a
complicated system. For more

Question:
What are the advantages for
people who get married when they
are older? What happens with
Social Security, etc.?
Answer:
When older people marry, there
are many financial issues. In many
cases, each spouse has children by
a prior marriage whose rights to
inherit are affected by the
marriage.
To understand all the rights of a
spouse and the tools available to
alter these rights to fit your
particular situation, you should
seek legal advice.
We think of the Social Security
system as a resource we rely on
for a part of our old age income.

Pasos fáciles para mantener a su familia saludable
Con la escasez de vacunas contra
la influenza, los padres de familia
están en busca de respuestas sobre
cómo mantener a sus niños
saludables durante la temporada de
influenza. Como protección inicial
los padres pueden tomar una serie
de pasos para prevenir que los
niños adquieran esas indeseadas
enfermedades y deben prepararse
por si sus niños se enferman.
Mientras que la atención de la
nación está centrada en la
influenza, muchos padres
confunden la palabra “flu” con las
diarreas y vómitos que acompañan
al rota virus.
El flu es una enfermedad
respiratoria contagiosa causada
por el virus de la influenza el
presenta síntomas tales como
fiebre alta, dolor de cabeza, tos
seca y dolor de garganta.
Los niños que tiene el flu son más
propensos a la deshidratación si es
que están tomando pocos fluidos.
Aun más prevalerte en los niños
de seis meses de edad a cinco años
de nacido es el rota virus, el cual
se caracteriza por vómitos,
diarreas, fiebre y dolor en el
abdomen.
Cada año se diagnostican más de
tres millones de casos, de acuerdo
con el Instituto Nacional de las
Alergias y las Enfermedades
Infeccionas, pero contrario a la
influenza, al rota virus, no existe
una vacuna actualmente contra el
rota
virus.
”Los meses de invierno pueden
ser una época de confusión para
los padres. Las familia y parientes
y para quienes cuidan a niños ya
que hay tantas condiciones que
pueden afectar a los niños, tos,
resfriados, diarrea, fiebre”, dijo el
Dr. Mathuram Santosham,
profesor de pediatría y salud
internacional de la Universidad
John Hopkins en Baltimore. La
buena noticia es que los padres
tienen el poder de enseñar a los
niños a que practiquen medidas
defensivas para reducir su riesgo
de infección y mantenerse
saludable en esta temporada de
festividades.”
Pasos sencillos, tales como el
lavarse las manos con frecuencia,
el cubrirse la boca al toser, la nariz
al destornudar y el usar loción
desinfectante ayudan a combatir el
contagio del flu y el rota virus.
Los gérmenes y las bacterias se
quedan en las manos y es fácil
esparcirlas así ya sea en la casa,
en la escuela o en el área de juegos.
El mantener pañuelos de papel a
mano, el usar pañales desechables
para los infantes y el enseñarles a
sus niños como contener un
destornudo puede ayudar a la
prevención de enfermedades entre
amigos y familiares. Para los
parientes, es importante tener los
suministros necesarios para
combatir de lleno el flu y el rota
virus.
Para los niños en guarderías, es
importante que los padres y las
personas que los cuidan sigan la
siguiente guía desarrollada por el
Centro
de
Control
de
Enfermedades y la Academia
Nacional de Pediatras. Un infante
o niño pequeño con diarrea debe
permanecer en casa hasta que se
haya recuperado del todo.
Además, el uso de pañales
desechables es una manera más
efectiva de evitar esparcir
cualquier clase de gérmenes.
Asegúrese que los pañales sean
descartados en un basurero limpio
y cerrado. Mantenga las
superficies limpias, tal como
mesas y en particular áreas donde
se preparan o se ingieren
alimentos.
Uno de los retos principales con
los niños que tienen el rota virus
es el peligro de deshidratación. El
tomar fluidos y el asimilarlos es
extremadamente importante
cuando hay vómito y diarrea.
Cuando se pierden cantidades
excesivas de electrolitos y fluidos,
esto puede llevar a una seria
condición, la deshidratación.
El dar a los niños una solución
oral con electrolitos formulada
para ellos, en particular cuando se
observan los primeros signos de
vómito y diarrea, puede ayudar a
evitar el riesgo de deshidratación.
”La bebidas que por lo general
encontramos en casa, tal como las
bebidas formuladas para
deportistas, las gaseosas y los
jugos contienen una gran cantidad
de azúcar, lo cual reduce el nivel
de agua de los intestinos y del resto
del cuerpo, empeorando la diarrea
y aumentando el riesgo de
deshidratación”, dijo el Dr. Robert
Murria, director médico de la
división de productos Abbott’s
Ross. “No puedo hacer suficiente
hincapié sobre la importancia de
mantenerse bien hidratados
durante un episodio de diarrea y
vómito.
Las bebidas tal como
Pedialyte(R) son una excelente
fuente para la re-hidratación ya
que
están
formulados
específicamente para niños
jóvenes”.
Para prepararse para la
temporada de flu y rota virus, los
padres de familia deben tener los
siguientes medicamentos a mano
para sus niños:
— Acetaminofén en una dosis
apropiada para su niño,
— Pedialyte(R),
— Los remedios para el resfriado
que su doctor recomiende
— Loción desinfectante para las
manos, Jabones individuales,
Termómetros, Toallas, pañuelos y
pañales desechables

En la víspera del Día de Acción
de Gracias, los pioneros del medio
ambiente Juan Martínez y Andrew
Anderson entregaron al grupo de
rock mexicano Maná el Green
Award durante la ceremonia de
entrega de galardones de Música
Latina Alternativa de la revista La
Banda Elástica.
“El trabajo de Maná me gusta
mucho porque no es normal que
un grupo roquero se interese en
cosas del medio ambiente, pero me
alegra que lo hagan porque
necesitamos la ayuda de todo el
mundo”, dijo Anderson.
Ganador de discos de platino, el
grupo Maná es un líder del
movimiento medioambiental
desde 1995 cuando establecieron
la Fundación Selva Negra. La
banda donó a la Fundación un
dólar de cada boleto de su gira
vendido en Estados Unidos,
recaudando así $185,633. Entre
sus proyectos se encuentran
plantar árboles en países
latinoamericanos que han sufrido
la deforestación, financiar y
supervisar proyectos de protección
a las tortugas marinas en peligro,
y cabildear a gobiernos para que
protejan a otras especies
amenazadas. Los miembros de la
banda
también
se
han
desempeñado como embajadores
de buena voluntad en las Naciones
Unidas.
Describiendo la labor de Maná,
Martínez dijo: “Al final, todos
regresamos a la tierra, sin importar
los ingresos, la raza o el grupo
social. Traer a la luz pública los
temas medioambientales es un
proceso que lleva mucho retraso.
En el fondo, a todos nos preocupa
el medio ambiente, y verlo durante
una ocasión como los Premios de
Música Latina Alternativa es
prueba de ello”.
Martínez y Anderson forman
parte del Consejo Asesor Juvenil
(CAJ) de Outward Bound
Adventure, un equipo de 30
jóvenes urbanos que inspiran a sus
amigos y vecinos a través de la
educación de la naturaleza,
actividades y excursiones. Los
esfuerzos de CAJ reciben el apoyo
del Sierra Club a través de su
programa Inside the Outdoors, el
cual ofrece a los jóvenes urbanos
la oportunidad de recibir una
excelente educación sobre los
entornos naturales.
Durante la ceremonia de entrega
de premios, los miembros de CAJ
distribuyeron información sobre la
naturaleza a los asistentes. “Este
fue uno de los eventos más
sorprendentes que he visto; ver a
todo tipo de personas asistir a un
buen espectáculo y hablar con ellas
sobre lo que defendemos y lo que
hacemos”, dijo Christian Ramírez,
un participante de CAJ.
Martínez, líder de CAJ y vocero
de Inside the Outdoors, es un
creyente convencido en el
programa y la prueba viviente de
su efectividad. Creciendo en uno
de los barrios más peligrosos de
Los Angeles, Juan vivía rodeado

Colorado-Oklahoma Play for Big 12 Championship
The Colorado Buffaloes (7-4, 44 Big 12), Big 12 North Division
champions for the third time in
four years, will be gunning for
their second conference crown this
Saturday, December 4, against the
No. 2 Oklahoma Sooners (11-0, 80 Big 12) in a 6:07 p.m. mountain
time kickoff at Arrowhead
Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
Oklahoma is the designated
home team for the game; Colorado
will wear its away white jerseys.
ABC will televise the game
nationally, with Brad Nessler, Bob
Griese and Lynn Swann to call the
action, while Sports Radio USA
will broadcast nationally as well
with Eli Gold, Gino Torretta and
Tim Neverett behind the mikes.
The game is the finale of an ABC
tripleheader (following Virginia
Tech-Miami, USC-UCLA), and
there is a chance the kickoff could
be delayed for up to 5 minutes, so
plan accordingly. Colorado will
return to the postseason bowls as
well after a one-year hiatus, but the
Buffs could be playing anywhere
from Arizona (the Fiesta Bowl
with a win) to California, Texas,
Louisiana or Florida. Destinations
can’t be determined until it is
known whether the conference
gets one or two BCS bids.
Colorado will be looking to snap
an 8-game losing streak to Big 12
South teams in this game; the
streak started in 2002 with a loss
to Oklahoma in Norman.
Colorado is currently playing the
nation’s 21st toughest schedule
according to NCAA
calculations; 11 Big 12
schools are currently in
the top 53 (seven in the
top 22, including Texas
A&M at No. 1 and Baylor
at No. 4); the other,
Missouri, is No. 87
(Oklahoma is in at No.
22). CU’s website,

Right Before Our Eyes Calls 40 Million
Latinos to Action
A new book from The Tomás Rivera Policy Institute - Right Before Our Eyes: Latinos Past, Present &
Future - written by former Pulitzer-Prize-winning reporter Robert Montemayor provides an up-to-date
examination of the widening role of Latinos in American life. And it presents a specific call to action to the
40 million Latinos in the United States to wield economic and political power proportional
to their growing influence.
The book paints a vivid picture of the Latino population as a growing economic, political
and social force in the U.S. The book also underscores the Latino political clout. Hispanics,
the author notes, possessed eight to 10 million votes and represented the critical swing
vote in six states.
At 40 million strong, Montemayor points out, Hispanics now account for 13.7 percent
of the U.S. population - larger than the population of African Americans and Asian
Americans - and their purchasing power of $700 billion, if viewed as a country, would
rank ninth in the world just behind Canada and ahead of both Mexico and Spain.
However, Montemayor emphasizes that while Latinos are viewed often as one
homogenous
group with a
common link of
the
Spanish
language they
are as divers and
f i e r c e l y
individualistic
as any of the
European clans
who have settled
in the U.S.
“For centuries
we have lived
quietly, almost
invisibly, while
our numbers
have grown
exponentially,”
he
writes.
Among other
i s s u e s ,
Montemayor
addresses
L a t i n o
Leadership.
Politics, Media,
Education,
Economics and
Health Care.

2004 Nissan Titan: Power, Innovation and Value
The Titan is Nissan’s first entry
into the full-size truck market,
joining the full-size Nissan
Pathfinder Armada sport utility
vehicle (SUV), which went on sale
in October 2003.
Both the Titan and the Pathfinder
Armada are manufactured at
Nissan’s
$1.43
billion
manufacturing facility in Canton
Mississippi.
Every 2004 Titan features a
powerful 305-horsepower/379 lbft torque-rated 5.6-liter Nissan
Endurance V8 engine, standard 5speed automatic transmission and
a wide variety of available
innovations such as a High-Utility
Bed with Utili-track channel tiedown system and standard WideOpen rear doors on all King Cab
models.
Properly equipped, Titan can
tow up to 9,500 pounds and offers
class-leading 4x4 specifications
such as front and rear Active Brake
Limited Slip traction control
(ABLS) for unparalleled offroading, standard Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS) and
class-leading rear axle ground
clearance.
The Titan is offered in two body
styles: Titan King Cab with its
innovative wideopen rear doors
that open 168
degrees for easier
passenger and
cargo access to the
rear compartment,
and Titan Crew
Cab, with four
full-size doors and
a generous cabin
that offers best-inclass
overall
interior room,
headroom and
legroom.
Both the King
cab and Crew Cab
are available in a
choice of 2-wheel
drive and 4-wheel drive and in
three trim levels, XE, SE and LE.
“Titan enters the highly
competitive, incentive-laden fullsize truck segment with not only
unique product attributes but with
a unique pricing philosophy,” said
Jed Connelly, senior vice president
sales and marketing, Nissan North
America.
“We are pricing Titan with
realistic MSRPs (Manufacturer’s
Suggested Retail Price) that we
believe will be closer to the actual

2004 Truck of the Year. Also,
Smart Money magazine selected
Titan over its competitors for its

Bush, Fox Discuss Immigration and Border Security
Bush committed to stalled proposal that would help undocumented workers
During a brief joint public
appearance as they met on the
sidelines of an Asia-Pacific
summit here, Fox said he hoped
to meet with Bush in Washington
in 2005 and hammer out “some
form of agreement.” But Bush did
not publicly commit to pushing his
proposal through the reluctant
Republican-held US Congress,
and made it plain that his top
border issue was security.
Fox did not mention immigration
reform, saying instead that
“Mexico wants to fulfill its
responsibility to make its economy
grow, make it stronger, to have
more jobs in Mexico. That is our
first priority.”
Bush called in January for a
sweeping overhaul of US policies
that would allow undocumented
workers to get temporary visas to
hold jobs that US workers have
shunned, but would not lead to
citizenship.
“We need to make sure that
where there’s a willing worker and
a willing employer, that that job
ought to be filled legally in cases
where Americans will not fill that
job,” he said Sunday.
Mexico, the country of origin for
roughly half of the eight to 12
million illegal immigrants thought
to be living in the United States,
has expressed frustration that the
September 11, 2001 attacks
virtually banished immigration
changes from Bush’s agenda.
“I explained to the president that
we share a mutual concern to make
sure our border is secure. One way
to make sure the border is secure
is to have reasonable immigration
policies,” the US president said
here.
Bush and Fox did not discuss Iraq
reconstruction; reports that AlQaeda hoped to sneak nuclear
materials into the United States
through Mexico; Cuba; a specific
timetable for passing the US
immigration changes; or a precise
timetable for their next meeting, a
senior US administration official
President and
Laura Bush are
pictured with
Mexico’s
President Fox
and his wife
Marta Sahagún
said.
But they did discuss possible
replacements for Organization of
American States Secretary
General Miguel Angel Rodriguez,
who quit in October, said the
official, who briefed reporters on
condition he not be named.
Contreras Named Vice President of
Scripps Newspaper Operations
Mark G. Contreras, an
experienced newspaper executive
with an extensive background in
management, advertising sales,
marketing and distribution, has
been named vice president of
newspaper operations for The E.
W. Scripps Company, effective
Jan. 4.
Contreras, who comes to Scripps
from Pulitzer Inc., will oversee the
day-to-day operation and strategic
direction of the Scripps newspaper
division, which includes 27 daily
and community newspapers and
related businesses. Contreras
succeeds Stephen W. Sullivan,
who earlier this year announced
plans to retire on Dec. 31.
“Mark Contreras is an
enthusiastic, results-oriented
newspaper executive who inspires
top performance at every level of
the organization,” said Richard A.
Boehne, executive vice president
for Scripps. “He has a proven track
record of building strong, local
newspaper franchises and
demonstrates a thorough
understanding of the newspaper
business and the industry trends
that affect it. He adds a depth of
talent to the Scripps management
team.”
Contreras, 43, has been at
Pulitzer for five years serving as a
senior vice president with
oversight responsibilities for
Pulitzer Newspapers Inc. and
Pulitzer’s 50 percent interest in the
Tucson Newspaper Agency.
Pulitzer Newspapers Inc. is
headquartered in St. Louis and
operates 12 daily newspapers, 65
weeklies and shoppers and several
e-media businesses in eight states.
While at Pulitzer, Contreras led
the company’s acquisition team.
During his tenure, Pulitzer
Newspapers Inc. acquired two
daily newspapers and 19 weeklies.
He also worked with newspaper
publishers on new product
launches, including two Spanishlanguage publications in
California.
Before joining Pulitzer,
Contreras was president and
Attorney General Cont. from page 2
Taliban fighters captured in
Afghanistan.
Many people believe that these
positions about limiting legal
rights have led to the scandal at the
Abu Ghraib prison, which gave
America a gigantic black eye
around the world.
As Attorney General, Gonzales
will have a strong impact on the
legal system of the country. The
impact on the country from the
Supreme Court Justices will be felt
much longer after Gonzales’ term
as Attorney General will have
expired.
One can endure sorrow alone, but it
takes two to be glad.

Use Sensible Scents to Help Create Healthy Home Environments
With the Holiday season upon
us, the use of candles and various
air fresheners to help create a
warm and inviting home
environment will undoubtedly
increase. According to a recent
survey by the National Candle
Association, 79% of consumers
use candles when entertaining or
on holidays. While candles are
unsurpassed in their ability to
create ambient and inviting
atmospheres, many of the candles
on the market today are made with
paraffin, a petroleum based
ingredient, and these candles can
release soot and other pollutants
into the air. When researchers
tested several scented air
fresheners, they found that the
chemicals used to make them
contributed toxins to the indoor air.
“Consumers don’t realize that
many of the products that we have
traditionally depended on to
freshen the air in our homes
contribute to polluting our indoor
environments,” explains Tracey
McGoughy, President of Au
Naturale
Aromatherapy.
McGoughy offers the following
tips to help consumers create safer
home environments by using
natural alternatives to traditional
scenting methods.

You can find pure essential oils at

3. Use fresh evergreen wreaths
and garlands where possible.

Drape an aromatic natural
evergreen bough or garland across
the mantle, doorway, or along the
dinner table. For a decorative
touch, hot glue or wire, pinecones,
holly berries, or fragrant lemon,
eucalyptus, or bay leaves to the
garland.
4. Add a drop or two of
aromatherapy grade essential oil to
a pan of boiling water to help
freshen and disinfect the air.
5. Live potted plants like
lavender, rosemary, and bay laurel
will not only make your home
smell heavenly, you can also use
them while cooking. Transplant
the potted plants to your outdoor
garden when spring arrives.
6. Pomanders are economical
and easy to make decorations.
Create fragrant pomanders by
inserting whole cloves into
oranges or lemons. Attach a pretty
ribbon to the top of the pomander
for hanging.
7. To create a warm and homey
holiday environment, place 2
cinnamon sticks, a handful of
whole cloves, 2-3 bay leaves, the
peel of 1 orange and 1 lemon, and
a dash of vanilla or 1 whole vanilla
bean into a saucepan with enough
water to cover ingredients. Allow
to simmer on low heat and add
water as needed during the day to
refresh the aroma.
8. Place a few drops of essential
oils like pine, fir, orange, cedar,
lavender, clove, or cinnamon leaf
into an aromatherapy diffuser or
lamp ring. Be sure to extinguish
the heat source once enough heat
has been produced to release the
aromas into the air.
9. A scented room and linen
spray can be made by combining
4 ounces of water in a spray bottle
with one of the following essential
oil
blend
suggestions:
•4 drops of sweet orange essential
oil, 4 drops of lemon essential oil,
and 2 drops of peppermint
essential oil.
•5 drops of eucalyptus essential
oil, 3 drops of pine essential oil,
and 2 drops of lemon essential oil.
•5 drops lavender oil and 5 drops
of geranium essential oil.
10. Make your own potpourri by
harvesting fresh flowers from your
garden or purchasing them dried
from online or local sources.
Adding a few drops of a
complementary essential oil to the
potpourri mix will help to freshen
and prolong its fragrance.

295 Million Americans Have
No Health Care
(PRWEB) Most places say 4050 million Americans have no
health care. But the actual truth is,
every American has no health care.
We do not have a health care
system in the US. What we have
is a Symptoms and Disease Care
System. There is absolutely no
system of helping people become
healthy.
It has been assumed since the
inception of the medical system as
we know it that the absence of
symptoms and disease will leave
people with health. But there is one
fatal flaw with this theory. It
assumes that symptoms and
disease are a thing.
You see, nature works mostly on
the principle of thing and no thing.
Light is the thing and darkness is
the absence of light. Sound is the
thing and silence is the absence of
sound.
Health is the thing, and
symptoms and disease are the
absence of health. But the medical
symptom and disease care system
has had that mixed up for the last
100 years. They think symptoms
and disease are the thing, and once
you treat away the symptoms and
disease, you will be left with
health. This simply is completely
wrong.
If there are shadows in a room,
the only way to get rid of them is
by increasing the light. No matter
how many ways you can measure
and quantify shadows, you cannot
sweep them under a rug, cut them
out of the room, or invent some
chemical to get rid of the shadow.
The only thing you can do is turn
on the light.
Health is the thing. And no matter
how many ways you can measure
and quantify symptoms and
disease, the only way to get rid of
them is to add health into your
body.
A system that added health into
your body would then be called
health care. The medical
symptoms and disease care system
does nothing to add health back
into people’s life. All medication,
all surgery actually decreases your
health. It may temporarily cover
up a symptom, but does nothing
to add to your health.
There is a way to give every
American health care, at almost no
cost. Almost no cost to the
government or the individual
people. The old saying that the best
things in life are free is so true.
Health is free. You can do many
things for free that actually add to
your health.
Dr. Jamie Fettig, the worlds
leading authority on life, health
and bazuji, will give you a story
of epic proportions that is
guaranteed to enlighten and fill
your readers with useful
information they can immediately
begin using to increase their
health.

Steps to Avoid Holiday Overeating
Watch out—the annual stuffing
season is upon us! If you’d like to
stuff the turkey and not yourself
this year, check out these tips from
weight control innovator Bill
Curry to rein in that waistline
without feeling deprived:
1. Form an intention ahead of time
to eat only when you are
physically hungry. Remind
yourself of this promise when you
sit down to eat.
2. Place moderate portions on your
plate. Don’t worry about not
getting enough. There’ll be days
of yummy leftovers to enjoy.
3. Savor your food — SLOWLY.
Try to take at least 30 seconds to
appreciate each bite. This
increases your meal satisfaction
with less food.
4. As you eat, periodically pause
and monitor your level of hunger.
Ask, “Am I still hungry?”
5. When you no longer detect any
feelings of hunger, simply STOP
EATING.

VA Emphasizes Healthy Eating
Holiday seasons are usually
marked with festive meals and
decadent desserts.
However, medical studies
suggest that healthy eating and
good nutrition are essential
components in helping prevent
illnesses like cancer, heart disease,
diabetes, and high blood pressure.
Dr. Rick Samaha and Dr. David
Stern, two Philadelphia VA
Medical Center researchers,
completed a nutrition study earlier
this year, published in the New
England Journal of Medicine, that
noted the differences between a
low-carb and low-fat diet.
The VA researchers found the
ideal approach may lie less with
the proportions of fat and
carbohydrate in the diet and more
on the quality of foods.
”One reason for the apparent
failure of low-fat diets is that
people tend to make up for lower
fat intake by eating more junk
food,” they wrote.
The following are some healthy
eating tips to keep in mind during
upcoming holiday parties:
- Choose healthy snacks whenever
possible, such as vegetables, fruits,
or pretzels. Have fruit for dessert.
- Share with someone else if eating
high-calorie
desserts.
- Request that salad dressings and
other toppings be served on the
Simple Steps to Keep Families Healthy
With the flu vaccine shortage,
parents are searching for answers
on how to keep their children
healthy during this flu season.
As the first line of defense,
parents can take a series of simple
steps to prevent their children from
getting these unwanted illnesses
and to prepare themselves if their
children become sick.
While the nation is focused on
the flu, many parents confuse the
term “flu” with the diarrhea and
vomiting due to rotavirus
infection.
The flu is a contagious
respiratory illness caused by
influenza virus that causes
symptoms such as a high fever,
headache, dry cough and sore
throat. Children with the flu are
more prone to dehydration if fluid
intake is poor.
More prevalent than flu in young
children from six months to five
years of age is rotavirus,
characterized by vomiting,
diarrhea, fever and abdominal
pain.
More than three million cases of
rotavirus are diagnosed every year,
according to the National Institute
of Allergy and Infectious Disease,
and, unlike the flu, there is no
vaccine currently available for
rotavirus.
”The winter months can be a
confusing time for parents,
families and caregivers, since there
are so many conditions that affect
children - coughs, colds, diarrhea,
fevers,”
said
Mathuram
Santosham, M.D., a Professor of
International Health and Pediatrics
at The Johns Hopkins University
in Baltimore.
“The good news is that parents
have the power to teach and
practice defensive measures to
decrease the chance of infection
and keep their children healthy this
season.”
Easy steps - such as frequently
washing hands, covering mouths
and noses when sneezing, and
using hand sanitizer - all help
combat the spread of flu and
rotavirus.
Germs and viruses like to stay on
hands and can easily be spread whether at home, at school or on
the playground.
Keeping tissues nearby, using
disposable diapers for infants, and
teaching your children how to
contain a sneeze can help prevent
spreading illnesses among friends
and family members.
For parents, it is important to
stock up on the necessities to fight
the flu and rotavirus head-on.
For children in daycare, it is
important that parents and
caregivers follow guidelines
developed by the Centers for
Disease Control and the American
Academy of Pediatrics. An infant
or young child with diarrhea
should be kept home from daycare
until fully recovered.
In addition, using disposable
diapers is a more effective way to
curtail the spread of any germs.
Ensure that diapers are disposed
in clean and securely closed
containers.
Keep surfaces clean, such as
countertops and tables, especially
where food is prepared or eaten.
One of the primary challenges
for children who have rotavirus is
the threat of dehydration. Getting
fluids down and keeping them
down is extremely important when
vomiting or diarrhea occur.
Excessive amounts of fluid and
electrolytes can be lost and lead to
a serious condition called
dehydration.
Giving an oral electrolyte
solution formulated especially for
children at the first signs of
diarrhea or vomiting can help
reduce your child’s risk of
dehydration.
”Common household beverages
like sports drinks, soda and juices
contain large amounts of sugar
which can draw water into the
intestines and away from the rest
of the body, making diarrhea
worse and increasing the risk of
dehydration,” said Dr. Robert
Murray, M.D., Medical Director
with Abbott’s Ross Products
Division.
“I cannot stress enough the
importance of staying wellhydrated during an episode of
diarrhea and vomiting. Drinks
such as Pedialyte (R) are an
excellent source for re-hydration
since it is formulated specifically
for young children.”
To prepare for the flu and
rotavirus season, parents should
stock medicine cabinets with the
following items for their children:
— Acetaminophen in a dosage
form appropriate for your child,
— Pedialyte(R),
— Cold remedies your doctor
recommends
— Hand sanitizer, individual
soaps, thermometers, disposable
tissues, towels and diapers.
side when ordering at restaurants.
- Choose clear broth soups
(bouillon, vegetable, French
onion) over heavy cream soups
(cheese,
clam
chowder).
- Try sparkling water, seltzer, or
diet soda instead of high calorie
beverages like alcoholic drinks
and eggnog.
- Eat slowly and savor the flavors
of the food. Go back for seconds
only
if
still
hungry.
- Avoid the trap of eating more
junk food because it’s lower in fat.
- Avoid over-eating holiday
desserts like candies and cookies.
- Eat vegetables with high fiber,
such as celery, which is healthy
and helps make you feel full.

OJC/CDS Building Wins Architecture Award
Cont. from page 1
“convincingly superior design
achievement.”
According to Faleide, there were
123 projects submitted this year
for these awards, with only seven
receiving recognition. The theme
of the 2004 awards was “Edges of
Integration.” In their request for
submissions, AIA Colorado
described this year’s theme as
follows: “We see the practice of
architecture evolving quickly. The
specifics of how we work are
being affected by so many external
forces - technology, the
environment,
economics,
demographics, etc. Today’s
architecture is about change - how
we recognize it, how we imagine
it, and how we make it a part of
our work.”
As winner of the Honor Award,
the OJC/CDS Head Start School
in Center reflects Faleide’s ability
to create enduring spaces that
blend tradition and progress.
“The Head Start School’s design
competed with many other
projects across the state of
Colorado, including projects that
were much larger and much more
expensive,” said Faleide.
“This makes it clear that jurors
who grant these awards look solely
at the quality of the design, without
consideration of budget. It also
confirms a belief that drives my
work; budget constraints actually
encourage good design because
they require the architect to create
new solutions to old challenges,”
he said.
Based in Denver, Faleide
Architects has established a
reputation over 30 years for
creating designs that enhance
clients’ quality of life where they
work and live. In addition to being
highly respected by his clients,
Ron Faleide has also been
regularly acknowledged by his
profession. Most recently, he
received two awards from the
AIA’s Colorado chapter and one
from the AIA’s Denver chapter.
The firm’s clients include
corporations, schools, churches,
restaurants, banks, the U.S.
government, and owners of fine
homes and affordable housing.
Jim Rizzuto, president of Otero
Junior College complimented
Faleide for his great vision in
designing the building. “It is
without a doubt a structural asset
that we can all be proud of for
many years to come,” said
Rizzuto.
The Migrant and Seasonal Head
Start School that Faleide designed
provides services to over 100
children a year whose parents are
migrant or seasonal farm workers.
The $800,000 facility was funded
by the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services.
The facility contains four
classroom cells and administrative
offices. The facility was built as a
cooperative partnership with the
San Luis Valley Farm Worker
Housing Corporation and is
located at the corporation’s Tierra
Nueva Housing complex in
Center.
Jim Rizzuto stated that the
completion of this project
symbolizes the ability of various
federal, state, local and private
entities to work together to provide
services and complete projects that
will benefit communities. “By
working together, we have been
able to provide services to the
migrant community, as well as
others in the San Luis Valley, in a
cost effective manner,” said
Rizzuto.
Migrant and Seasonal Head Start
programs are funded directly
through the Department of Health
and Human Services in
Washington, D.C. Programs are
charged
with
providing
comprehensive educational,
health, and social services to
migrant and seasonal farm worker
families and their young children.
Since 1974 Otero Junior College
has been one of 24 Migrant and
Seasonal Head Start grantees
nationwide.
The college administers Migrant
and Seasonal Head Start facilities
through their Child Development
Services organization in the
counties of Otero, Prowers,
Crowley, Pueblo, Rio Grande,
Saguache, Alamosa, Conejos and
Costilla.

REGIONAL NEWS
Adams State President Joins Business Exchange With China
Adams State College President,
Dr. Richard A. Wueste, and his
wife, Jerrilyn, will share their
expertise about American business
practices in China this week, on a
visit sponsored by the Chinese
Association of Science and
Technology (CAST). A family
business based in Littleton, Co.,
CAST promotes the enhancement
of mutual understanding and the
development of cultural,
educational, social, and economic
ties between the U.S. and China.
The Wuestes will arrive in
Shanghai this Wednesday, then
travel south to spend five days in
Wenzhou, concluding with two
days in Beijing. They will make
presentations at a Professional
Exchange Conference in
Wenzhou, and meet with business
people there and in Beijing. Prior
to coming to Adams State last
spring, the Wuestes were partners
in their own business-consulting
firm.
“Wenzhou is probably the most
entrepreneurial area of China,” Dr.
Wueste noted. “While the
population is not particularly well
educated, they are very successful.
But now businesses are facing
issues with succession and
growth.”
He will discuss the human
resource considerations of these
problems, while Mrs. Wueste will
focus on U.S. small business
development support programs.
Adams State College will have a
manned booth at the conference
that will provide information
regarding Extended Studies,
exchange programs, and course
offerings.
This is the latest in a series of
exchanges CAST has sponsored in
cooperation with Adams State,
according to Mary Hoffman, ASC
Director
of
Community
Development. She was among a
small group coordinated by CAST
that visited China in 2001 to advise
on business privatization. The
following year, a Chinese
delegation toured the San Luis
Valley as part of a trip to Colorado.
And just last week, Wang
Xiaobing, the vice president of
Tangshan Jianlong Industry Co.,
Ltd., spent two days on the Adams
State campus as part of a 50-day
tour of western American cities
and colleges.
He and Wendal Wang from
CAST also talked with the
Wuestes about Chinese customs
and expectations , to prepare for
their trip to China.
“What we’re hoping will happen
with CAST and the Chinese
government is to get to the point
where we have more Chinese
business people coming to the San
Luis Valley to learn and contribute
and develop more opportunities
for business arrangements,” Dr.
Wueste continued. “There is real
potential for the exchange of
professors and students, building
on the good work that Mary
Hoffman has already done. In
certain areas of China, we have the
capacity to become a household
name. They’re looking for
educators who are real, especially
in the areas of free enterprise.
Adams State’s business faculty
possess a wealth of professional
experience with a variety of major
corporations.”
It’s all part of the Asian style of
conducting business, Hoffman
explained, which values the
gradual establishment of
relationships based on trust. “It’s
a long process, but when we build
on
these
international
relationships, we can all benefit –
culturally and economically,” she
said.
