Can anyone help save or move this
Historic landmark?
Drinking too much water
can kill you
By Alison McCook
Near the Historic Santa Fe Trail, south of the Arkansas River, once known as Mexico, in
Las Animas, CO, sits an abandoned Columbian School of ‘high artistic value’, exquisite
craftsmanship, and a spanish Patio, surrounded by a covered arcade
and colonnade of brick arches.
Budget cuts will harm Hispanic
American students
by Joe Belew, President, Consumer Bankers Association
While teaching at a school for
Mexican-American children, a
young Lyndon B. Johnson became
troubled by the realization that the
majority of his students were too
poor to pursue a higher education.
Having been forced to drop out
of college himself because of a
lack of funds, LBJ recognized that
if a white male in that era had
difficulty paying for college, then
poor Hispanics had no chance.
When he became president of
the United States years later, he
sought to ensure that everyone had
access to money for college,
regardless of their socio-economic
background. In 1965, he signed the
Higher Education Act (HEA) and
established
the
federally
guaranteed student loan program.
Now in its 40th year , the privatepublic partnership that is the
guaranteed loan program has
proven to be one of the
government’s greatest success
stories. More than 50 million
students have used the program to
pay for college, and the percentage
of the entire population with a
degree has risen from 8% to 25%
since HEA’s inception.
Regrettably, Congress is
looking to reduce federal support
for the program at a time when the
government should be formally
recognizing
its
many
accomplishments. Proposed cuts
could exceed $14 billion and
undermine the stability of the loan
program, now called the Federal
Family Education Loan Program
(FFELP).
This threatens to make student

Smoke-free laws improve public health
Heart attack rates in Pueblo,
Colo., dropped by nearly 30
percent after the city passed a
smoke-free ordinance, according
to a new study released today at
the American Heart Associations
Scientific Sessions, a premier
peer-reviewed conference, in
Dallas.
The study validates previous
scientific evidence that indoor
smoke-free laws can dramatically
reduce heart attacks and means
that 108 fewer people had heart
attacks in Pueblo in an 18-month
period.
Pueblo is a community of about
104,000 located 110 miles south
of Denver. The city passed its
smoke-free law in 2003, restricting
smoking in almost all businesses
and indoor areas open to the
public, including bars, restaurants,
bowling alleys and bingo halls that
are within city limits.
Only one other study to date has
evaluated the impact of smoke-free
laws on public health. As a result,
physician researchers from Pueblo
and Denver sought to replicate a
ground breaking 2003 study done
in Helena, Mont., that showed
restrictions on public exposure to
secondhand smoke caused a sharp
decline in heart attacks.
A goal of the Pueblo study was to
see whether the Helena study's
findings were unique to that
community or if they could be the
basis of broader evidence that links
smoke-free ordinances to a
reduction in heart attack rates.
The Pueblo study affirmed that
such laws can cause a dramatic
improvement in public health,
within even the first few months.
Pueblo's study reinforces the
Helena findings based on similar
but improved methodology,
including a sample size three times
larger than the one used in Helena.
Researchers evaluated the
number of heart attacks in Pueblo
during a three-year period from
January 2002 to December 2004.
This time frame covered the year
and a half before the city's SmokeFree Air Act was passed on July
1, 2003, as well as a year and a
half afterward.
In the year and a half before
Pueblo's smoke-free ordinance
went into effect, 399 heart attack
patients were admitted to the city's
two primary hospitals. In the year
and a half following enactment of
the ordinance, the number of heart
attack admissions dropped to 291,
representing a 27 percent
decrease.
The study didn't distinguish
between
smokers
and
nonsmokers,

in a Medicare prescription drug
plan,
including
monthly
premiums, deductibles, copays
and drug coverage of several
prescription drug plans to include
the TRICARE pharmacy program.
Medicare prescription drug
coverage plan options will vary by
location.
For nearly all TRICAREMedicare beneficiaries, under
most circumstances, there is no
added value in purchasing
coverage. The exception is for
beneficiaries with limited incomes
and assets who qualify for
Medicare’s low-income subsidy.
These beneficiaries may benefit by
enrolling in a Medicare
prescription drug plan.
TRICARE is considered
creditable coverage, meaning it
pays on average as much or more
than a standard Medicare
prescription drug plan. If
TRICARE-Medicare
beneficiaries decide not to enroll
in a Medicare drug plan during
the open enrollment periods, but
change their minds later, they
may do so without paying the
late enrollment penalty.
For more information about
coverage, beneficiaries may call

Hispanic and Latino labels are inadequate
by Eduardo Montalvo [email protected]
For many years there has been a debate about which name defines us better as a group. Some
believe the best word to use is “Hispanics.”
In fact, this is the most common name used by government agencies, media and politicians, but
for others this is inappropriate. Instead they prefer to call us “Latinos.”
In my opinion, both words are inadequate. These names were imposed on us by others, not by
ourselves. They have been given, not chosen.
“Latino” comes from Latin America, a name promoted by France, back to the dawn of the 20th
century, to try to increase its political influence in the South American region. It was a plot to
make us think we were caught up in some sort of brotherhood: the “Latin Language League.”
Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese are in fact Romance languages, with Latin being the
common root. But we can’t be considered as “colleagues” for only this reason.
“Hispanic” is related to Hispania, the name the Romans gave to their provinces in the Iberian
Peninsula. This name has been associated with the countries conquered by Spain and Portugal in
South America. That is why it was adopted to describe people coming from south of the US
border.
I became a Hispanic once I stepped into this country. Before, I didn’t know about the existence
of such a thing. It’s absurd to try to put us all together in one category, one group.
It is impossible to define the vast diversity of cultures, races and traditions that exist in Central
and South America with just one word. There are more than 20 countries in the region that speak
Spanish, and we are a kaleidoscope of races. White, Indian and black together create a mosaic of
colors and features that comprise a very intricate masterpiece of cultures and traditions.

habilidad de calcular a cuánto
mercurio de metilo han sido
expuestos por comer pescado. La
primera calculadora de mercurio,
en ingles, fue hecha pública por el
TIRN en marzo del 2004.
“Estamos emocionados de hacer
disponible a nuestros amigos

recurso de salud pública”, dice Eli

del

Semejante a la calculadora de
mercurio en Inglés, la nueva
calculadora en Español utiliza
datos de la Administración de
Drogas y Alimetos (FDA en
ingles) que muestra los niveles de
mercurio
en
pescados
comúnmente consumidos y
permite rápidamente a los usuarios
determinar si estan comiendo
demasiado pescado contaminado.
Por exemplo, una mujer de 115
libras (52 kilogramos) que come
un filete de 8 onzas (627 gramos)
de pez espada (swordfish), sería
expuesta a niveles de mercurio que
son 600% de lo que se considera
seguro por el FDA y EPA. La
calculadora se puede utilizar
también como un instrumento
preventivo, permitiendo a los
consumidores escoger una dieta de
pescado de mercurio bajo que sea
segura para ellos mismos y sus
familias.
El FDA, como el Estado de
California, advierte a las mujeres
en edad de tener hijos y a los niños,
evitar pescado con niveles muy
altos de mercurio: tiburón, pez
espada, caballa o sierra (king
mackerel), y lofolátilo o blanquillo
(tilefish). Las agencias de salud del
gobierno aconsejan también a las
mujeres y los niños reducir su
consumo de atún. <http://

El Mercurio de Metilo, la forma
orgánica de mercurio encontrada
en muchas especies de pescado, es
una neurotoxina poderosa que
puede causar daños al sistema

Portable Mexican landscapes tour Colorado’s cities this fall/winter
Longing to get to the beach this
winter? Yearning for an ecoadventure experience of a
lifetime? Wait no more. The
Mexico Tourism Board will be
bringing the luxurious warmth
and thrilling adventure of
Mexico to destinations along the
Northeast, from Oct. 19 to Dec.
10.
The Mexico Mobile Displays
campaign reached over 2.2
million people last year and is at
it again, visiting a total of 18
locations in just eight weeks
throughout the United States and
Canada this year.
Creating an immense media
stir and popularity among the
travel industry, the clear glass
buses, called Promobuses, will
feature a variety of themes, from
impressive seaside spa displays
to eco-adventure tourism scenes.
The beach-spa buses will be
filled with sand, palm trees. The
eco-adventure displays will
highlight Mexico’s abundant
flora and fauna.
This year, the warmth of
Mexico will be making its debut
in Colorado with two pit-stops;
Denver (Nov. 2 - 17) and
Colorado Springs (Nov. 18 - 27).
Visitors will also learn about
Frontier Airlines’ new bi-weekly
seasonal flights to Acapulco,

son bendiciones en forma de buena
salud o cosas materiales.
• Cuando somos negativos y
mandamos pensamientos de
inconformismo, lo que recibimos
son problemas o pérdidas que nos
privan de las cosas materiales.
Lo que debemos hacer es no
enfocar nuestros pensamientos en
cosas tristes sino más bien
enfocarlo en lo que tenemos de
bueno. Al hacer esto vamos a
utilizar nuestra energía en
encontrar la manera de tener cosas
y motivos por los cuales estar aun
más agradecidos.
Una vez en la semana de
Thanskgiving venía de regreso a
California después de impartir una
conferencia de Superación
Personal. En mi vuelo de regreso
me toco estar al lado de una señora
joven, comenzamos a entablar
conversación y me contó que su
hijo de 10 años tenia leucemia y
que solo le quedaban unos pocos
meses más de vida. Me describió
todo lo que estaba sufriendo a
causa de la enfermedad de su hijo
y se me puso la carne de gallina.
También me contó que antes de
esterarse del mal de su hijo, ella
era una persona desagradecida y
que siempre se quejaba porque
creía que su vida era simple y
aburrida. Me dijo con una tristeza
impresionante que si pudiera
retroceder el tiempo, apreciaría su
vida y seria la mujer más feliz de
la tierra. Me puse a pensar en las
personas que andan quejándose de
la vida todo el tiempo, como
valorarían lo que tienen ahora, si
estuvieran en la situación de esta
señora. Realmente, el ser humano
no aprecia lo que tiene hasta que
lo pierde.

Mexicana de la Industria de la
Construcción
(CMIC),
Nezahualcóyotl Salvatierra, dijo a
la prensa que más de 1,460
empresas afiliadas a este
organismo “están listas para
sumarse a los esfuerzos
gubernamentales y de la sociedad
para reconstruir” las zonas
devastadas por los dos ciclones.
La península de Yucatán, el
principal polo turístico de México,
donde queda el balneario de
Cancún, fue golpeada el pasado 21
de octubre por Wilma, el peor
huracán en la historia del país,
mientras que a comienzos de ese
mes Chiapas y otros estados del
sur
mexicano
resultaron
severamente afectados por Stan.
Salvatierra señaló que las
compañías de la CMIC podrán
construir o reconstruir viviendas a
bajo costo, como una forma de
ayudar a los lugareños más pobres:
“Las casas serán construidas con
materiales de calidad y en zonas
seguras”, afirmó el líder
empresarial.
La CMIC participará asimismo
en la reparación de los hospitales,
escuelas, autopistas, calles y
hoteles dañados por los ciclones en
Cancún y otras localidades del sur
y el sureste de México.
Salvatierra dijo que se contratará
como obreros a las personas que
perdieron sus viviendas, o a los ex
trabajadores de los hoteles y otros
lugares turísticos que se quedaron
sin empleo tras el paso de los
ciclones.
El dirigente empresarial se
abstuvo de precisar cuántos
puestos de trabajo se generarán en
total con el plan de reconstrucción
en Chiapas, el estado más dañado
por Stan, y la península de
Yucatán, pero calculó que habrá
cinco empleos directos y siete
indirectos por cada vivienda o
habitación de hotel que se reparen.
Salvatierra, quien participó en
una conferencia de prensa con el
portavoz de la Presidencia de la
República, Rubén Aguilar, afirmó
que el plan anunciado por la
CIMC, la mayor cámara de su
ramo en América Latina, ayudará
a impulsar el sector de la
construcción, que representa un 5
por ciento del Producto Interior
Bruto de México.
Aguilar dijo el miércoles que el
Gobierno
del
presidente
mexicano, Vicente Fox, mantiene
su pronóstico de crecimiento
económico de un 3.5 por ciento

para 2005, pese a los daños
causados por los huracanes Wilma
y Stan en la infraestructura y los
estratégicos sectores agropecuario
y
del
turismo.
El portavoz presidencial formuló
la declaración al responder a
expertos mexicanos y extranjeros,
que calcularon que los daños de los
huracanes podrían causar una
desaceleración de la economía en
el último trimestre de 2005.
No obstante, los especialistas
señalaron que la caída en los
últimos tres meses se compensaría
con la prevista reactivación de los
primeros tres meses de 2006,
cuando esté en auge la
reconstrucción.
México ha captado en los
últimos cinco años más de 10 mil
millones de dólares por inversión
nacional y extranjera en el renglón
de turismo, la tercera fuente de
divisas de México, después de la
venta de crudo y las remesas que
envían los residentes en el exterior,
especialmente en Estados Unidos.
Las autoridades mexicanas no
han precisado el monto de los
daños causados por Wilma en la
península de Yucatán, ni por Stan
en el sur del país, donde se cría
ganado y se cultiva café, maíz y
otros productos de consumo y
exportación.
La aspirina como ventaja para
mujeres posmenopáusicas
“Ya se sabía, y ahora lo hemos
demostrado de nuevo: la terapia
con aspirina salva vidas”, dijo
Jeffery S. Berger, M.D., autor
principal del estudio y becario de
postdoctorado en cardiología de
Duke University Medical Center,
en Durham, N.C. “Las mujeres
con enfermedad cardiovascular
deben tomar aspirina, a menos que
exista alguna contraindicación,
como hipersensibilidad o
intolerancia gastrointestinal”.
Una revisión de datos
correspondientes a casi 9,000
mujeres con enfermedad
cardiovascular demostró que, de
manera sustancial, las mujeres
tomando aspirina tuvieron un
menor riesgo de muerte
cardiovascular y de muerte total
(de cualquier causa), en
comparación con las que no
tomaron aspirina.
Los investigadores analizaron a
8,928 mujeres con enfermedad
cardiovascular. Las participantes
ya se habían inscrito en el
Women’s Health Initiative
Observational Study (WHI, por
sus siglas en inglés), un estudio
multicéntrico y longitudinal de
93,676 mujeres con entre 50 y 79
años de edad.
Entre las 8,928 mujeres con
enfermedad cardiovascular
estable, el 46 por ciento reportó
que tomó aspirina, con 30 por
ciento de ellas tomando una dosis
de 81 mg, y 70 por ciento tomando
325 mg. A seis años y medio de
inscripción, 956 de las mujeres
habían fallecido.
Durante 6.5 años de
seguimiento, 8.7 por ciento de las
participantes
murió,
en
comparación con el grupo que no
consumió aspirina. En el grupo
tomando 81mg, tanto como el
grupo tomando 325mg, se observó
una reducción de 17 por ciento en
mortalidad total, y una reducción
de 25 por ciento en la tasa de
muerte por enfermedades
cardiovasculares.
Ambas dosis se asociaron con
una reducción no significativa de
11 por ciento en ataques
cerebrales, sin ningún efecto sobre
infarto del miocardio, y una
reducción no significativa en
eventos. Comparado con la dosis
de 325mg, el tratamiento con
81mg no se diferenció de manera
significativa en su efecto sobre
mortalidad total, eventos
cardiovasculares, o cualquier otro
criterio de valoración.
“Este ensayo no fue aleatorio, y
por eso, no pudimos demostrar una
relación entre causa y efecto”, dijo
Berger. “La aspirina fue asociada
con una reducción importante en
mortalidad, sin embargo, no
podemos concluir que la aspirina
causó la reducción”.
Varios estudios previos han
demostrado que la aspirina puede
reducir
problemas
cardiovasculares fatales y no
fatales en pacientes con
enfermedad cardiovascular. A
pesar de este efecto protector,
menos de la mitad de las mujeres
participando en el estudio tomó
aspirina de manera regular, dijo
Berger.
“Por desgracia, si se analiza los
datos relacionados con la aspirina,
se encuentra que las mujeres no
han estado bien representadas en
muchos estudios” dijo Berger. “No
existen datos concluyentes que
establezcan una dosis óptima o el
efecto del uso de aspirina en las
mujeres”. “Eso fue sorprendente
y decepcionante.
Muchos estudios han
demostrado que una dosis de 81
mg es tan eficaz en la prevención
secundaria
de
eventos
cardiovasculares como lo es la de
325 mg.
Y está bien claro que cuanto
mayor es la dosis, tanto mayor es
la probabilidad de sufrir efectos
secundarios. No sabemos por qué
tantas mujeres tomaron la mayor
dosis”.
“Independientemente del
tamaño de la dosis, la reducción
en la tasa de muerte fue igual, y
ese dato, en mi opinión, es el más
importante del estudio”, dijo
Berger. “Basándose en este
estudio, es difícil concluir que una
dosis de 81 mg es mejor que una
de 325 mg, pero sí parece que es
tan eficaz como la de 325 mg”.
Berger también señaló que, dado
que
sólo
mujeres
posmenopáusicas participaron en
el estudio WIH, los resultados

NEGOCIOS-BUSINESS
Small Business dynamo powers Colorado
By Jim Henderson, SBA
They are everywhere. Drive
down almost any street, in any city
and town in Colorado and you will
see them.
Retailers and
manufacturers, wholesalers and
contractors, one-person shops and
significant employers. They are
small businesses, and they are the
dynamo that powers Colorado’s
economy.
The Office of Advocacy of the
US Small Business Administration
recently released its latest
Colorado Small Business Profile
and what it shows may surprise
some people, but others of us have
known it all along. Without its
small business owners, Colorado’s
economy would not be nearly as
strong as it is today.
The report shows that in 2004 an
estimated 142,943 or 97.7% of the
state’s employer firms were small
businesses.
And that number does not even
include the thousands of nonemployer one-person firms
scattered across the state. These
businesses generated a sizeable
amount of economic activity. In
2002, small firms (those with
fewer than 500 employees)
employed 51.3 percent of the
state’s non-farm private sector
employees.
What is even more remarkable is
that from 2001 to 2002 (the latest
data available) firms with fewer
than 20 employees saw net job
gains of 13,690 while firms with
more than 500 employees actually
lost jobs.
The diversity of its small
business owners helps create
integrated communities that make
the state stronger. In 2002 (latest
figures) women-owned firms
totaled 135,224, an increase of 18
percent from 1997, and they
generated $16.4 billion in
revenues.
Moreover, there were 24,054
Hispanic-owned firms, an increase
of 15 percent from 1997; 7,067
Black-owned firms, an increase of
43 percent; and 10,917 Asianowned firms, an increase of 25
percent. Clearly small business
ownership is drawing more and
more of the state’s residents into
the economic mainstream.
Main Street is where the state’s
citizens go to work, so
policymakers should consider just
how programs, rules, and
regulations will affect the state’s
job-creating small businesses.
According to Advocacy
research, just complying with
federal regulations costs the
nation’s smallest firms $7,647 per
employee each year. That is 45
percent more than the peremployee costs of their larger
counterparts.
The uneven burden of
regulations on small business is
not only a problem at the federal
level. Because state and local
regulations can also fall
disproportionately on small
businesses,
Advocacy is encouraging states
to pass laws requiring their
agencies to consider the impact of
regulations on small business.
To find out just how small
business friendly the state’s
regulatory process is and what
policy makers can do to improve
the climate for small business and
unleash the job-creating and
community-building power of
entrepreneurship,
visit
< w w w. s b a . g o v / a d v o / l a w s /
law_modeleg.html>
Small businesses are dynamic,
creative, innovative, job-creating,
and they are powering the state’s
economy.
Take a look around. There they
are, in every city and every town.
They are providing jobs, growth,
and economic opportunity for all
of Colorado. So next time you are
in a store, shop, or warehouse
along with your purchase you just
might want to say “thanks.”

Xcel Energy Seeks to Amend Recent
Electric Price Filing
Due to recent decreases in
natural gas prices nationwide and
a desire to lessen the impact of
higher energy costs for the
upcoming winter season, Xcel
Energy announced today that it
would seek to amend a recent
Colorado electricity filing and
reduce its overall impact by $41.5
million.
In its filing today, Xcel Energy
is seeking to reduce by 35.8
percent an Oct. 5 Electric
Commodity Adjustment (ECA)
filing, which at the time was for a
$116 million increase. Both ECA
filings seek to recover costs
associated with rising generation
fuel and purchased energy costs,
primarily from natural gas. Xcel
Energy still projects an increase in
the ECA of $74.5 million
The amended filing, if
approved, would result in an
increase in electricity rates of
$10.17 for typical residential
customers using 625 kilowatthours a month, less than the $15.80
increase originally filed.
Residential customer bills now are
expected to be $63.06 a month, or
19.2 percent higher then an
existing bill of $52.89.
The amended filing would
result in an increase of $20.58 for
typical small-business customers
using 1,265 kilowatt-hours a
month, less than the originally
filed $31.97 increase.
Typical small-business customer
bills would be $123.22 a month,
or 20.1 percent higher than the
existing bill of $102.64.
“Our filing today is good news
for Colorado energy consumers, in
that we now believe the impact of
future natural gas prices on
electricity production will be less
than what the market was showing
last month,” said Fred Stoffel,
Xcel Energy vice president for
policy development.
“The filing also shows the
highly volatile nature of the natural
gas marketplace and the extreme
difficulties associated with trying
to predict where prices will go,”
Stoffel added.
“Our filing today shows that
Xcel Energy is attempting to pass
along any price reductions to its
customers as quickly as possible.”
The Colorado Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC) has not yet
ruled on the original ECA filing;
Xcel Energy had requested that the
new rates go into effect on Nov. 1.
Xcel Energy was required to make
the Oct. 5 ECA filing because
recovery costs were greater than
those allowed for under the CPUC
tariff.
The filing today was not required,
but would better reflect current
market prices.
Xcel Energy is proposing to set
the amended ECA rate for
residential and small-business
customers at $0.04330 per
kilowatt-hour, up from the
$0.02703 per kilowatt-hour
currently in rates.
In addition, Xcel Energy’s
hedging strategy for electricity
production from natural gas-fired
generation reduced cost by
approximately $5 million each for
November and December.
Lower natural gas prices in
recent weeks can be attributed to
four factors: national storage
levels have been maintained at
near the five-year average, despite
a severe loss of production from
the Gulf
Coast region; production is
returning and natural gas
processing plants are coming back
on-line in the Gulf Coast region;
recent weather forecasts do not
project significant periods of
colder-than-normal weather this
winter; and Hurricane Wilma is
not greatly affecting natural gas
production.
Xcel Energy encourages
customers to explore ways to
conserve energy and lower their
electricity and natural gas bills, by
visiting Xcel Energy at
xcelenergy.com or by calling 800895-4999 for a free copy of “60
Simple Ways to Save Money on
Your Energy Bill.”

Cejudo brothers take it to
the next level at the OTC
It was an offer they couldn’t
refuse. One not extended to many,
but only those rare and selected
few whose unique and unusual
skill and talent have already
marked them with its beginning
glow of perhaps one day becoming
great.
It was the opportunity to live and
train year-round at the Colorado
Springs Olympic Training Center,
the chance to take to the mat and
learn on a regular basis from the
nation’s senior-level elite—
established veterans whose own
raw potential and years of “been
there, done that” collegiate and
international
wrestling
experiences had also long ago set
them apart. And all of this, the
recognition and offer alike, before
either one of the Cejudo
brothers—Angel and Henry— had
even turned twenty.
“They’re very, very talented—
both of them,” confirmed national
developmental coach Dave (Doc)
Bennett. “They show talent that
you don’t see in the average
individual.”
Angel, an undefeated four-time
Arizona state high school
champion, compiled a 150-0
career record while competing for
Maryvale High School in West
Phoenix. He is a 2002 ASICS/
Vaughn Junior freestyle national
champion and finished first at 60
kg/132 lbs in both this year’s FILA
Junior National Championships
and FILA Junior World Team
Trials freestyle competitions. He
was a 2005 Junior World Team
freestyle member, placing twelfth
in
the
Junior
World
Championships.
He has been a full-time Colorado
Springs Olympic Training Center
resident since 2004 and is
currently enrolled in Pikes Peak
Community College.
Younger brother Henry is also a
full-time Olympic Training Center
(OTC) resident and last year, at the
age of seventeen, became the
wrestling program’s youngest
member to date. He is a two-time
Arizona state high school
champion, winning his third state
high school championship title as
a junior last season while
competing for Coronado High
School in Colorado Springs.
Wrestling only half of the season
last year due to Colorado state high
school transfer-eligibility rules, he
went 23-0, recording 152
practice-sustained injury, he was
unable to compete in this year’s
2005 competition.
At 55 kg/ 121 lbs., he placed
third in this spring’s FILA Junior
National Championships freestyle
competition and first in the FILA
Junior World Team Trials freestyle
event. As a 2005 JuniorWorld
Team freestyle member, Henry
finished fifth in the Junior World
Championships held in Vilnius,
Lithuania.
Henry currently maintains a 3.0
grade point average at Coronado
Angel and Henry Cejudo
takedowns, 14 falls, and 9
technical falls. He currently claims
a 101-3 record.
Henry is also a three-time
ASICS/ Vaughn Greco-Roman
champion and two-time freestyle
champion, winning double
national championship titles in
2003 and 2004 as a Cadet and
Junior respectively. Due to a
High School where as a senior he
will finish his high school
wrestling career while continuing
his full-time residency status at the
OTC.
“Our goals and aspirations here
(at the OTC) are to produce
Olympic and world champions,”
shared Bennett. “The earlier we
can get a head start on it, the better
off we are. If you look at the
Russians and the rest of the people
in the world, when these top-notch
athletes show up on the scene,
they’re usually quite a bit younger
than ours because they don’t have
the Division I (college) situation
in a different style of wrestling.”
“When I took this position a few
years ago,” continued Bennett, “I
started out the process of trying to
locate one kid each year that was
younger—just coming out of high
school—(looking) to bring them
here for at least a year before they
go to college and see if we could
begin to develop the athletes a little
younger, a little earlier rather than
waiting until they’re out of college
to get them going along the lines
of thinking internationally. When
the Cejudos came along, they were
brothers, so we thought why not
take both of them.”
“We have our own training
center,” he added, “and as part of
that, we have a resident program
in both men’s and women’s
freestyle and in Greco-Roman.
There are about twenty athletes (on
the average) in each style that we
keep here on a full-time basis.
Men’s freestyle has twelve athletes
that are given room and board.
They actually eat, sleep, stay, and
train right here. Then in addition,
we have six to eight spots that are
off-campus residents. They’re
provided meals, but they have to
provide their own room.”
“They’re seeing the best that we
have to offer,” stated the OTC’s
full-time resident freestyle coach
Terry Brands, referring to the

Writer, producer of ‘La Bamba’ to
perform, speak at PCC
Pueblo Community College will welcome a
renowned composer, musician, singer and actor to its
Pueblo campus on Friday evening, Nov. 18, when
Daniel Valdez will speak and perform in Hoag Theatre.
“An Evening with Daniel” will showcase the musical
talent of entertainer Daniel Valdez from 6:30 to 8 pm.
He will perform an acoustic set of Spanish and famous
tunes and also will share his experiences as an
entertainer.
Valdez appeared in the movie “Zoot Suit” for which
he also wrote the original music. He and his brother,
Luis Valdez, wrote and produced “La Bamba,” a movie
based on the life of singer Ritchie Valens. Daniel Valdez
also had roles in the feature films “Which Way is UP?”
and “The China Syndrome,” and appeared in and wrote
songs used in the movie “Born in East LA” More
recently, he co-starred in “Selena Forever.”
In 2003, he served a 10-week residency at Stanford
University where he taught theatre. Most recently, he
performed at the Smithsonian in commemoration of the
40th anniversary of the UFW Delano grape boycott.
Valdez is no stranger to Pueblo. He has performed for
local school students and faculty here, and last August
entertained music lovers of all ages at the Colorado State
Fair. The event is free and open to the community, and the audience will have the opportunity to meet
Valdez at a reception that will follow the performance. The event is sponsored by PCC’s Diversity Activities
Committee. For more information: Derek Padilla: 549-3032
US-born latinos missing from Nielsen sample
AIM Tell-A-Vision Group (AIM
TV), the pioneering company
producing culturally relevant
television for U.S.-born Latinos
announced an initiative to
convince Nielsen Media Research,
Inc. to change its current language
stratification
method
of
monitoring U.S. Hispanic
viewing.
AIM TV contends the current
methodology of Hispanic audience
measurement is skewed towards
foreign-born Hispanics who prefer
Spanish language television and
that a more accurate measurement
weighted by nativity (the location
of one’s birth, i.e., U.S. Born or
Foreign Born) is needed.
AIM TV claims the impact of
Nielsen’s outdated statistical
model is far reaching, resulting in
little English language television
targeted to the nation’s largest
minority and fewer roles in general
for Latinos in front of and behind
the camera.
They cite a recent Screen Actors
Guild report on diversity, where
Latinos represented less than 6%
of all primetime characters on TV

of marketers targeting U.S.
Latinos’ valuable market share.
According to recent U.S. Census
data, the vast majority of Latinos
are U.S. born (60%) but only make
up a small percentage of Spanish
TV’s audience (Tomas Rivera
Policy Institute, Rincon &
Associates, Pew Hispanic Center).
Yet consistently the top Nielsen
rated programs for U.S. Hispanics
are on Spanish language television
garnering Spanish TV outlets over
90% of Hispanic targeted TV ad
dollars by leading the industry,
advertisers and Wall Street to
believe that Latinos prefer Spanish
language television.
Nielsen’s current methodology
uses Language Stratification (e.g.,
Spanish Only, Mostly Spanish,
English/Spanish Equally, Mostly
English and Only English) and
AIM TV states there are
substantial issues with this
methodology as indicated by the
2004 Rincon & Associates’ Latino
Television Study.
AIM TV contends there are
several research studies that
indicate language preference is
subjective, unreliable and difficult
to measure.
Furthermore, this methodology
takes Nielsen’s Hispanic sample
(just over 1,100) and divides it into
five smaller, more unstable
samples.
AIM TV points to solid research
that confirms that nativity is the
number one factor that determines
television viewing patterns of
Latinos (Spanish TV or English
TV).
Latinos born in the U.S. watch
mostly English language TV and
foreign born Latinos watch mostly
Spanish language TV. Based on

Special Olympics brings Christmas to California
It was Christmas in California
when Latin Music’s biggest stars
performed at A very special Latin
Christmas – Una noche de paz
concert at the Theatre at
Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim. The
concert was to benefit the Special

AIM TV contends that Nielsen
should weight their sample by
nativity to match U.S. census data
(U.S. born 60% / Foreign born
40%), creating a sample divided
into two larger objective sections
rather than five smaller subjective
groups.
“Nielsen can accurately pinpoint
the number of Mexicans,
Peruvians, and other nationalities
in their Hispanic sample.
Why can’t Nielsen account for
U.S. Born Hispanics, which is by
far the most important factor when
determining television viewing
habits?” asks Robert G. Rose,

AUTOMUNDO
New M-Class defines
SUV trend
The all-new 2006 M-Class is
characterized by an aggressive
wedge shape complemented by
sweeping front fenders, dramatic
shoulder lines and a sharply angled
windshield.
The interior is completely
redesigned to provide more
comfort, more features and more
user-friendly space.
First M-Class started an
industry trend
When the Mercedes-Benz MClass first arrived eight years ago,
the new sport utility vehicle started
a trend that inspired the entire auto
industry to shift toward more
luxurious car-like SUVs.
Launched as the only sport
utility in its class with four-wheel
independent suspension, the
original M-Class was one of the
first to be designed from the
ground up, rather than being based
on an existing truck platform.
The first-generation M-Class
also won a number of automotive
awards, including the prestigious
North American Truck of the Year.
The new SUV is 5.9 inches
longer, 2.8 inches wider and 0.2
inches lower on the road than its
predecessor, with a 114-inch
wheelbase that’s 3.7 inches longer
as well.
Beneath its sleek exterior is an
all-new unit body platform as well
as a double-wishbone front
suspension and a newly-developed
four-link rear suspension that
deliver impressive on-road driving
performance and comfort.
New and useful technology
abounds in the 2006 M-Class,
including a standard seven-speed
automatic transmission, an
effective full-time four-wheeldrive system and optional features
such as height-adjustable
AIRMATIC air suspension.
A revised four-wheel traction
control system now incorporates
functions such as a downhill
driving aid and Hill-Start Assist.
A choice of two high-torque
engines
The new generation M-Class will
be available with a choice of V6
or V8 power. Under the hood of
the ML350 is a new 3.5-liter, fourvalve-per-cylinder V6 engine
delivering a class-leading 268
horsepower and 258-lb.ft. of
torque. The ML500 powered by
is a five-liter V8 engine with 302horsepower and 339-lb.ft. of
torque.

While pumpkin desserts may have the spotlight, often, pecan pie steals
the show.
Thoroughly sweet and rich, a slice of pecan pie is where you find the
gentle crunch of wall-to-wall pecans suspended in a dark syrup. The
unique consistency of a perfect pecan pie is owed to a great corn syrup,

A Picture-Perfect Turkey
(NAPSA)-The first step to roasting a picture-perfect turkey, say the experts, is to start with a quality
roaster. Here are some tips to help you choose one:
• Avoid flimsy disposable pans. Instead, choose a heavyweight
roaster with strong
handles.
• Dark-colored roasters
absorb the oven’s energy
and evenly distribute it.
•
Porcelain-on-steel
roasters provide an even
heat distribution for
uniformly
cooked,
beautiful turkeys. Most
hardware and retail stores
carry a line of speckled porcelain-on-steel roasters called
Granite Ware.
• Roast your turkey at a constant 325° to 350°F. A 16 to 24
pound turkey takes approximately 12 to 15 minutes per pound.
• Add water or broth to the pan to baste with and to keep the
meat moist. Baste every 30 minutes.
• Use a meat thermometer to insure thorough cooking. The
deepest portion of the breast should read 170° F, the thigh,
180° F.
• Once finished, let the bird rest for about half an hour so the
juices settle before carving.

Chronotherapy helps lung
cancer patient on the road
to recovery
Margaret Olszowka was
diagnosed with lung cancer on
New Year’s Eve, 2002. The
prognosis was very grim: her
disease had advanced to Stage 4
and was inoperable.
Doctors at a very well known
university hospital told her there
was nothing they could do for her.
They didn’t even offer
chemotherapy as an option; she
was told she had months to live.
However, instead of giving up, she
decided she was going to fight the
disease, and ultimately found her
way to cancer specialist, Keith
Block, MD, where she received
chronotherapy as part of her
treatment plan.
Today, she is doing very well and
enjoying her two children and six
grandchildren. She wants the
world to know about the role
chronotherapy played in her
survival in the hopes of helping
other cancer patients.
What is chronotherapy?
Chronotherapy takes into
account how our body’s natural
rhythms impact our ability to
process medications. Patterns like
sleeping, menstrual cycles, even
our physical response to the
changing seasons, are different for
everyone. In the old days we called
these biorhythms. Today, doctors
are finding that understanding a
patient’s biorhythms, and
coordinating the timing of their
medical treatments to these
biorhythms, can profoundly affect
the outcome of their treatments.
This is called “chronotherapy.”
“Every drug has an optimal time
when it is least toxic and most
effective,” says Keith Block, MD,
editor-in-chief of the peerreviewed journal Integrative
Cancer Therapies, and Clinical
Professor, Department of Medical
Education, at the University of
Illinois College of Medicine at
Chicago (UIC), and at the
Department of Pharmacology. For
cancer treatment, this is
determined by several factors,
including
the
biological
uniqueness of the particular drug
being given, the time when the
specific type of cancer cells divide
the most, when the normal healthy
cells of the patient generally divide
the least, the patient’s circadian
clock and individual rest-activity
cycles, and even the time zone the
person resides in.”
According to Dr. Michael
Smolensky, co-author of the book
The Body Clock Guide to Better
Health, “When cancer medications
are given in a chronobiological
manner, patients may be able to
tolerate higher, more potent doses
than would be possible otherwise.”
“This method of administering
chemotherapy is revolutionary and
has demonstrated in large
randomized trials its potential to
improve survival,” states Dr.
Block. ”We have found that often
patients receiving chronotherapy
reduce what would have been
recurring side effects of nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue.
This is important because the
debilitation caused by chemo can
cause patients to reduce or even
stop treatments that could
otherwise help them win their
battle with cancer.”
Chronotherapy is being widely
researched around the world:
There are over 62,000 references
in PubMed (the National Institute
of Health’s archive of biomedical
and life sciences journal articles)
about chronobiology (how biology
is affected by timing) and over 500
scientific articles specifically
about chronotherapy. The National
Cancer Institute’s Office of Cancer
Complementary and Alternative
Medicine (OCCAM) devoted an
entire web cast for doctors on
chronotherapy.
So why isn’t chronotherapy
used more widely?
One of the main problems has
been logistics – figuring out how
to deliver chemotherapy in exactly
timed doses. “Portable infusion
pumps may hold the answer,”
explains Gerald Sokol, MD, an
oncologist with the division of
oncology in FDA’s Center for
Drug Evaluation and Research.
Dr. Block has brought
technology to the US that
administers chemotherapy via a
pump designed to precisely time
up to four channels of infusion
simultaneously to the individual
needs of a patient. Highly portable
and small enough to fit in a fanny
pack, patients are able to maintain
full mobility, play sports, and
enjoy a full night’s sleep – while
receiving their specifically timed
cancer therapy.
How to enjoy the holidays without the extra weight!
It seems like just as soon as those
holiday carols start playing in
elevators, our weight starts
climbing up and up.
You know it’s coming.
Everywhere you turn, there are
sweets and treats and indulgences:
next to the checkout register, in the
breakroom and on desks at work,
and on every end table and
countertop at every home you
visit.
When you’re not having
something waved under your nose,
you’re rushing around with the
shopping and errands and
preparations, probably not taking
the time you need to get a proper
meal.
But then during the holiday
season, big, abundant, sit-down
dinners are likely to make their
way into the schedule of even the
most harried and hurried among
us.
With all that to contend with,
many people find the temptations
too much to bear, and simply give
up on healthy eating altogether
during the holidays. But don’t
surrender! If you recognize going
in that these challenges will be
there, and arm yourself
accordingly, it needn’t be the fight
of your life just getting through to
January.
A defensive attitude
Perhaps the most important
attitude adjustment is to be sure
that you’re thinking of yourself not
as a person who is trying to lose
weight or even someone trying to
avoid junk.
If you’re trying to eat better and
get healthy, then think of yourself
as a person who eats well and
makes healthy choices. Successful
people do what successful people
do. When you walk in to work first
think in the morning and you’re
faced with a plate of frosted candycane cookies, just recognize that
healthy-eating people such as
yourself just don’t eat that sort of
thing for breakfast. Smile, nod and
keep walking.
It also helps to be forearmed with
a few defensive thoughts to call up
in case someone brings that plate
of cookies right over to you. Think
of what motivates you to be eating
better and getting healthy to begin
with. We have our patients write
these out on index cards and keep
their top motivations with them for
quick reference in moments of
temptation.
And if someone is particularly
insistent about trying to ply you
with sweets or goodies, be ready
with a polite way to decline. You
might want to try a few out in
advance, just so you’re ready and
skilled with the “no, thank you,”
defense.
But don’t say, “I’m dieting.”
That’s only going to invoke
sympathy and good-natured
encouragement to live a little.
Remember that you’re trying to eat
better because you want to live a
little longer.
Avoidance strategies
When you’re faced with that big
sit-down meal at Grandma’s, plan
in advance to NOT get so full that
you’re uncomfortable. Sure, the
food is delicious and evokes all
sorts of wonderful nostalgia, but
you don’t need to overeat to enjoy
the memories. Chew slowly, savor
each bite, really appreciate those
special dishes. It’s a much better
way to enjoy them than doing the
stuff-and-suffer.
And start by taking small
servings to begin with. Many of
us were raised to “clean our
plates,” and we feel obligated to
finish whatever is served, whether
or not Mom is watching. But if
you’re full, stop. That mountain
of mashed potatoes isn’t Mr.
Everest, and you don’t have to eat
it just “because it’s there.”
And ask for small servings or
serve yourself in small portions to
start with. If you’re truly still
hungry, you can go back for more.
That way, you won’t be jam
packed with something that was
just filler, leaving room for
seconds of the really delectable
dishes.
Another trick to help slow the
overeating at holiday parties is to
try for buffet serving rather than
putting all the food on the dining
table.
We actually recommend this to
patients year round, so that when
they’re at home, they fill the plates
from the stove and bring them to
the table. That’s because repeated
studies have shown that if the food
is within arm’s reach, we’ll eat it.
But if we’ve got to go and get it,
we are less likely to have more.

In March 2001, a 19-year -old
Marine died from drinking too
much water after a 26-mile march,
during which he carried a pack and
gear weighing more than 90
pounds. Although he appeared fine
during the beginning stages of the
8-hour walk, towards the end he
began vomiting and appeared
overly tired. He was then sent to
the hospital, where he fell into a
coma, developed brain swelling
and died the next day. It is unclear
how much water he drank during
the march, but Marines were given
a “constant emphasis” on drinking
water before and during the
activity, Gardner writes in the
latest issue of Military Medicine.
In an interview with Reuters
Health, Gardner explained that
drinking too much water is
dangerous because the body
cannot excrete that much fluid.
Excess water then goes to the
bowel, which pulls salt into it from
the
body,
diluting
the
concentration of salt in the tissues.
Changing the concentration of
salt, in turn, causes a shifting of
fluids within the body, which can
then induce a swelling in the brain.
The swollen organ will then press
against the bones of the skull, and
become damaged.
The researcher added that
previous cases of water toxicity
have been noted in athletes who
consume excessive amounts in
order to avoid heat stroke. In
addition, certain psychiatric
patients may drink too much water
in an attempt to wash away their
sins, or flush out poisons they
believe have entered their bodies.
In 1998, the Army released fluid
replacement guidelines, which
recommend a certain intake of
water but limit it to 1 to 1-1/2
quarts per hour and 12 quarts per
day.
It takes a while for these
guidelines to get “permeated out”
to everybody, Gardner admitted. In
the meantime, he suggested that
bases take notice of the mistakes
of others, and “not wait for
somebody to die from (water
toxicity) again,” he said.
“Y ou can’t prevent everything
bad from happening,” Gardner
noted. “But when it does, you have
to learn from it.”

ambiente y su salud”,or, “The
Environment and Your Health,”
will focus on a different issue
every month.
For the first month in this series
the key issue is asthma. In this
new page, EPA offers general
information about the disease, its
environmental triggers, asthma
FAQs, and environmental health
studies of Hispanics and asthma.
In future months EPA will have
similar pages on other
environmental health issues of
special concern to Hispanics such
as lead poisoning prevention,
radon, carbon monoxide,
particulate matter, and mold,
among others.
This new Webpage presents
information both in Spanish and
English. It is part of the agency’s
overall efforts to educate
Hispanics, researchers and health
care providers on how
environmental health issues affect
the
different
Hispanic
communities throughout the
nation. To view this new page, “El

COMMUNITY NEWS
Cejudo brothers Cont. from page 8
Cejudo brothers’ steady stream of
senior-level workout partners.
Partners for both brothers
include Sammie Henson and Tony
DeAnda with Chris Bono and
Jared Lawrence providing added
practice opportunities for Angel
during camps and personaltraining visits. Michigan State’s
Nick Simmons is also an
additional partner for Henry as is
resident-athlete Bill Zadick for
Angel.
“There are two ways in life you
can learn things,” said Bennett.
“One is by personal experience.
The other one is wisdom. Wisdom
is when you can learn from the
experience of others. Here, they’re
able to learn on a daily basis from
athletes that have already been
through things that they haven’t
even been through yet.”
Because he’s still in high school,
Henry commutes to school each
day.
“He misses the morning
practice, because he’s at school,
and we excuse him for the high
school team (practices and
meets),” noted Bennett. “He goes
back and forth between the two.”
Henry has no trouble at all
alternating between the two
different programs and styles.
“Whichever wrestling room I’m
in, I’ll stay focused and do what I
have to do,” stated the younger
Cejudo. “Like people say, a true
champion finds a way to win, so
whichever style you throw at me,
I just wrestle.”
“They got a good break,”
acknowledged Brands, “but they
created that break. There aren’t
very many people at their level that
would give up their home
environment, girlfriends, friends,
stuff like that to come out to
Colorado and start totally new.
There’s not too many kids in this
country that would do that.”
For Angel, the father of a
recently turned one-year-old
daughter named Genesis, the
prolonged separation from his
Arizona-based family proved
exceedingly difficult.
“I didn’t have a dad around,”
shared the eldest Cejudo. “I didn’t
want the same for my daughter, but
I had to do what I had to do for a
year, even though it was killing
me. Them (Genesis, her mom
Angela, and stepbrother Adrian)
moving up here, it’s going to be a
lot better.”
Aside from the obvious on-and
off-the-mat challenges, there were
others that awaited the Cejudos as
well. “The biggest adjustment
they’ve had I think is they’ve had
to learn how to live a structured
life,” stated Bennett. “They’ve had
to learn how to budget their time,
how to meet commitments that
Vine Deloria Jr. Cont. from page 20
Deloria was the author of more
than 20 books, including “God is
Red,” “We Talk, You Listen,”
“American Indian Policy in the
Twentieth Century” and “Singing
for a Spirit.”
“ ‘Custer Died for Your Sins’ is
perhaps the single most influential
book ever written on Indian
affairs,” Wilkinson said in 2002.
“At once fiery and humorous,
uplifting and sharply critical,
‘Custer ’ received a broad
readership nationally and lived up
to its pointed subtitle, ‘An Indian
Manifesto.’ “
Born into a distinguished
Yankton Sioux family, Deloria
served in the Marines and then
graduated from Iowa State
University and earned a master’s
degree in theology from the
Lutheran School of Theology in
Chicago and a law degree from
CU-Boulder. He taught at the
University of Arizona from 1978
to 1990 before joining the CUBoulder faculty.
In 1964 he became executive
director of the National Congress
of American Indians, the largest
intertribal organization. “This was
a crucial era for Indian people,”
Wilkinson said. “They faced
desperate economic conditions,
political and religious repression
on the reservations, and the
infamous termination policy of
Congress.
“Deloria plunged into his new
job, writing op-ed articles, giving
inspiration to Indian country,
building coalitions, and, on
Capitol Hill, fighting confiscatory
bills and proposing reform
measures. His leadership at NCAI
and in the ensuing years marked a
turning point in Indian policy.”
In 2002, Deloria received the
Wallace Stegner Award, the
highest honor presented by the
CU-Boulder Center of the
American West.
The inscription on Deloria’s
award, given to people who have
made a sustained contribution to
the cultural identity of the West,
read as follows:
“Always grounded in the stories
told by the plains and ridges of
your Sioux homeland, and guided
by your vision of a vibrant tribal
sovereignty, you have become a
hero for the ages in Indian country
and far beyond, you have changed
the West and the world through
your activism during the
termination crisis, your spirited
leadership ever since, your vast
and influential writings, and your
encompassing mind and matchless
courage.”
Memorial arrangements were
pending. Contributions, in lieu of
flowers, are suggested to the Vine
Deloria Scholarship Fund, c/o The
American Indian Scholarship
Fund, Attn: Rick Williams, 8333
Greenwood Blvd., Denver, CO
80221.
they’ve made without excuses.
They’ve had to learn how to
structure their lives, and that’s
something they didn’t know how
to do when they got here. They do
now.”
“They went from being the two
best kids in the wrestling room at
all times to being the two new kids
on the block,” said Tracy Greiff,
long-time friend, supporter, and
former Arizona wrestling coach.
“Because of that, now they’ve got
something to prove.”
“They’re very coachable,” noted
Brands. “They’re open to
suggestion. They’ll do whatever it
takes to win. I think at 55 kg and
60 kg, these guys are as good as
this country has,” he added. “It’s
going to take development. It’s
going to take an awful lot of hard
work, but that’s what wrestling’s
about.”
“It’s a tough sport,”
acknowledged Angel. “You learn
as you go. You always have to be
training. You can be No. 1, but
there’s always going to be
someone behind you. You can
never be done,” he continued.
“That’s what keeps you going.
That’s what motivates you.”
“It’s fun when you win, and it
sucks when you lose,” added
Henry, “but either way you learn.
You learn when you win. You learn
when you lose.”
“They’re not just learning
technique, but they’re learning
strategy as well,” supplied

Felipe Atencio
In loving memory of our Ta Ta, Felipe Atencio. August
12, 1923 - Nov 18, 2004. It has been a year since God
called you home. No more pain or hurt, worries. We love
you and miss you deeply. Your little dog Rachel and Louise
is with you, and other loved ones, your family, friends, and
relatives. Especially your wife was the love of your life for
57 years.
Has sadly missed you and never forgotten you!
Guest Editorial
labels are inadequate Cont. from page 2
I am against these
classifications. I am neither
Latino nor Hispanic. These
names label us; they are used to
describe us, not define us.
It’s time to start to understand
that a Peruvian is quite different
from a Salvadorian, and a Puerto
Rican has nothing in common
with a Chilean. We can’t continue
to believe we are one indivisible
group of people simply because
we speak a common language.
This is ridiculous.
Is an American equal to an
Australian or a Britain just
because they speak English?
We have the right to selfdetermination as a group as well
as individuals. I resist being
pushed into the narrow and racist
concept of “Hispanic” or
“Latino.” Yes, it’s true; I was born
in a South American country, and
it’s also true that I speak Spanish.
And even more, I like to eat rice
and beans, but these reasons are
not enough to stereotype me.
I came to this country to raise
my children in a better
environment and to fulfill my
dreams. I came here motivated to
become what I want: Myself.
For some people if you are
“Hispanic,” you are obligated to
be a proud member of the largest
minority in this country. It’s like
a curse. You can’t even intend to
be different; you are condemned
to be what they are forever.
I dare you to be different. I dare
you to act differently. I dare you
to think differently about what
you are “supposed” to be. We
have to assume the responsibility
of our own lives. We have to
develop our individual capacities
instead of relying on a group.
Let’s have the courage to raise
our heads over the crowd to be
able to see beyond the outline of
the group. Dare to be yourself.
Don’t be afraid to be alone,
because you won’t be. Every day,
more and more people are daring
to be all they can be. They
succeed not because of their
origin or heritage but because
they dared to be themselves with no ethnic labels. For more

Budget cuts Cont. from page 1
loans less available, since nearly
85% of all US schools and colleges
use FFELP.
The timing could not be more
inopportune for Hispanic
American students. Within the
next 10 years, one in every five
high school graduates will be
Hispanic. Not only will the
majority of these students be first
generation Americans, many will
be the first from their families to
have the opportunity to attend
college.
There are concerns that financial,
cultural and informational barriers
may prevent many talented young
people from viewing college as a
viable option. The continued
upward mobility of the Hispanic
American
community
is
contingent upon overcoming these
barriers by ensuring that there is
enough financial aid to fund
everyone’s higher education while
also raising awareness that anyone
can get the student loans they need.
There has been substantial
investment in FFELP by lending
institutions to develop services and
outreach programs benefiting
Hispanic American families.
Bilingual materials, college
preparation seminars, financial
planning counseling, classroom
workshops, presentations for
community-based organizations
and special scholarships have all
been created to let students know
that college degree are not out of
their reach. Tragically, the
continued development of these
outreach programs may be at risk.
The US needs to maintain an
educated society to remain the
world’s economic, technological
and scientific leader.
Because the Hispanic American
population is growing at an
accelerated rate, every effort must
be made to see more Hispanic
Americans in positions to assume
leadership roles in all aspects of
US industry.
Curtailing financial aid
programs would hinder the

uneasy in conversation.
Road rules
And finally, there are a few other
simple defenses you can employ
that will serve you equally well at
a holiday party or if you hit the
drive through in the midst of your
shopping:
Hold the sauce – You can knock
100 calories or more off most
sandwiches or salads—not to
mention that pile of potatoes—by
skipping the special sauce,
dressing, or gravy.
Skip the soda – A wide array of
sodas on the buffet table may look
hospitable, but regular soda will
add hundreds of calories to a meal.
A nice glass of ice water goes
beautifully with any holiday meal;
unsweetened ice tea or diet sodas
are a decent second choice.
Don’t supersize – Stick to
reasonable-sized
portions.
Holidays are a great time for
appreciating the abundance in our
lives, but we can do that without
upgrading to the supersize meal,
either in the drive-through or at
Grandma’s holiday buffet!
Through Thick & Thin
Remind yourself that you don’t
have to eat everything you’re
served, that you can take small
servings and have more later, and
that it’s okay to say no, even if
more is offered. Holiday dining
should be a pleasure, not an annual
experience in extreme eating.

smokers and those impacted by
secondhand smoke.
“We're adding to a growing body
of evidence showing that indoor
smoke-free environments have the
potential to rapidly improve a
community's overall health, while
drastically reducing the number of
people having heart attacks,” said
Dr. Christine Nevin-Woods,
director of the Pueblo City-County
Health Department. “With so
many communities around the
country considering smoke-free
laws, this study provides important
knowledge that people can be
healthier if secondhand smoke is
removed from public places.”
Nevin-Woods collaborated with
several other researchers on the
Pueblo heart study.
“We already know that tobacco
smoke does harm to nonsmokers,
most
notably
to
their
cardiovascular systems,” added
Dr. Mori Krantz, a cardiologist and
director of prevention programs at
the Colorado Prevention Center,
who led the scientific analysis of
the Pueblo data. “This study
further validates the argument that
limiting exposure to deadly
tobacco smoke can save lives.”
Each year, more than 440,000
Americans die from smokingrelated illnesses. About 53,000
people die from the effects of
exposure to secondhand smoke;
49,000 of these are nonsmokers
who die from coronary heart
disease.
“Colorado has a long history of
being one of the healthiest states
in the nation,” said Karen
DeLeeuw, director of Colorado's
State Tobacco Education and
Prevention Partnership. “Citizens
living in communities that support
reducing exposure to secondhand
smoke are now further protected
from the devastation of a heart
attack.” The study's researchers
included Dr. Nick Alsever, an
endocrinologist and vice president
for medical affairs at Parkview
Medical Center in Pueblo; Dr. Carl
E. Bartecchi, clinical professor of
medicine at the University of
Colorado School of Medicine;
Krantz; and Nevin-Woods.

brainpower, an ever-increasing

Cuts would signify a
disinvestment by the government
in the education of a significant
segment of the population.
Since FFELP has consistently
continued to improve its services
and become more efficient, it is
troubling that Congress would
even consider making major
changes to something that has
worked so well.
Students have equal access to
funds for school, customer
satisfaction is high, the program
has been relatively free from fraud
and abuse, and default rates are at
record lows.
In addition, the flexibility of
FFELP has allowed it to easily
accommodate a student population
that has grown in size and diversity
without becoming overburdened.
In many ways, FFELP has gone
above and beyond everything for
which LBJ had hoped when he
first saw the need to help his poor
Mexican-American students.

Vine Deloria Jr., renowned author
and American Indian leader, dies at 72
Former University of Colorado
at Boulder Professor Vine Deloria.
Jr., author of “Custer Died for Your
Sins” and an extraordinarily
influential American Indian leader,
died Sunday, according to
colleagues and friends. He was 72.
“Vine was a great leader and
writer, probably the most
influential American Indian of the
past century — one of the most
influential Americans, period,”
said Distinguished Professor
Charles Wilkinson of the CUBoulder School of Law, a
renowned expert on American
Indian law.
Vine Deloria. Jr.
“He was also a wonderful human
being, brilliant, bitingly funny and
profoundly
warm
and
compassionate, always willing to
lend a hand or lift a spirit.”
“Vine Deloria was the most
important American Indian
intellectual, writer, speaker and
man of action,” said CU-Boulder
Professor Patricia Nelson
Limerick, a nationally renowned
historian of the American West.
“If they gave a Nobel Prize for
advocacy of indigenous people’s
rights, he would get it first.”
Deloria earned a law degree at
CU-Boulder in 1970 and taught at
CU-Boulder from 1990 until 2000.
He was affiliated with the
departments of history, ethnic
studies, religious studies, political
science and the law school. “He
was a respected scholar, a fine
gentleman and during the time he
was in this department he
contributed greatly to our
development as a discipline,” said
Adjunct Associate Professor
Albert Ramirez, chair of the ethnic
studies department. “We will miss
him greatly.”
Limerick recalled bringing
Deloria in as a guest speaker to a
capstone course for CU-Boulder
history majors on “Colonialism
and Imperialism in Africa, the
Middle East and the American
West.” She said the class, in
which Deloria described to the
students his involvement in the
campaign to reclaim American
Indian’s rights, was “one of the
best things to ever happen on this
campus.
“Did I kick myself for not
tapeing that class? Yes,” said
Limerick. “Am I kicking myself
even more today? Yes. “I know a
lot of remarkably productive
thinkers and writers, but the
extended, productive achievement
of Deloria was breathtaking.
Writing for scholarly and popular
audiences, seeking out the full
scope of documents of Indian
treaties and agreements, speaking
in the most dynamic and engaging
manner, and drawing on
extraordinary skills in political
negotiation and litigation: such a
package of expertise and skills
probably is not going to hit the
planet again.” Cont. on page 18
