CTU Cuts Ribbon on Pueblo Campus
Colorado Technical University
officially opened the doors of its
Midtown Center campus in Pueblo
Thursday, August 4 with a ribboncutting ceremony for the entire
community.
CTU Pueblo students, members
of the first classes to be held at the
new campus, cut the ribbon and
welcomed all into the new, stateof-the-practice learning facility.
Praising Pueblo as the “Home of
Heroes,” CTU Pueblo President
Greg Mitchell paid tribute to all
students at the Pueblo campus.
“What these students are doing
today at Colorado Technical
University is not only building the
future for themselves and for their
families,” Mitchell said.
“They are building the future of
Pueblo. We’re very proud to send
them soaring to meet their

The BBB reaches out to our soldiers as they
reach American soil
The Better Business Bureau of
Southern Colorado, along with
many area businesses are deeply
grateful to the men and women of
our armed forces who have been
overseas fighting for our freedom.
We want our military to know we
are here to serve you and your
families. Our mission is to ensure
that local businesses act with
integrity and ethics.
We also report and investigate
companies that do not abide by our
standards. Sadly, it is these
companies that prey on those of
you who are either new to the area
or who have been away, serving
our country.
Here are a few scams to watch out
for:
• Advance fee loans: legitimate
lenders never guarantee you’ll get
a loan before you apply.
• Be wary of “work at home”
schemes, such as stuffing
envelopes, reading books, or doing
medical billing though the internet.
These companies entice you with
promises of lucrative jobs, but in
reality, you end up paying them.
• Avoid payday loans. They charge
extraordinarily high fees. There
are better borrowing sources.
• Identity theft has become a huge
problem. Do not give out any
personal information such as your
social security number or bank
account numbers unless it is a
company you have done business
with.
If you believe your identity
may have been stolen call the
Federal Trade Commission’s
hotline at 1-877-IDTHEFT.
And here are some solutions:

operates an autoline for all
branches of our military to protect
themselves against fraudulent
dealers and practices.

Care & Share food bank asks for
community help
Care & Share Food Bank is
drastically low on emergency food
supplies. This lack of food at Care
& Share means fewer meals for
hungry families across southern
Colorado served by agencies such
as the Marian House, Boys & Girls
Clubs, Silver Key and the
Salvation Army in Pueblo.
As of August, the Marian House
Soup Kitchen will receive 500
fewer pounds of emergency food
each month because of this
shortage.
Food donated during “Stamp Out
Hunger,” Care & Share’s last food
drive, is almost expended. The
need for emergency food rises in
the summer at the same time that
donations drop off.
This summer, the problem is
compounded by a number of
factors. “This year’s summer food
gap is particularly bad,” says Gary
McDonald, Care & Share’s
President and CEO. “The number
of folks just walking into Care &
Share to drop off a few bags of
groceries is lower because we
moved and are not yet on the radar
screens of families along the
Powers corridor.
The bigger problem is the
continued demand on food
pantries because the state is still

Después de 14 días en órbita, en
los que siempre estuvo presente el
fantasma de la tragedia del
Columbia , ayer a las 7:12 (hora
del centro de México), el
transbordador Discovery aterrizó
con éxito en la base militar
Edwards, en California.
Tras dos intentos fallidos de
descenso en la base original, el
Centro Espacial Kennedy, en
Florida, la Administración
Nacional de Aeronáutica y el
Espacio (NASA) ordenó a la
tripulación que aterrizara en
California ante las condiciones
meteorológicas desfavorables en
Florida de donde había partido con
siete astronautas el 26 de julio.
Millones de personas en el
mundo respiraron aliviadas frente
a las pantallas de televisión, al
presenciar el aterrizaje de la
misión que representó el regreso
de la NASA a los vuelos
espaciales, tras dos años y medio
de pausa después de la explosión
del Columbia cuando ingresaba a
la atmósfera el 1 de febrero de
2003.
Como un reconocimiento a los
siete tripulantes que entonces
perdieron la vida fue celebrado por
Bill Parsons, director del programa
de transbordadores, el retorno de
la nave: “Hoy rendimos homenaje
a la tripulación del Columbia .
Trajimos al Discovery de vuelta
sano y salvo”.
“Felicitaciones por un vuelo de
pruebas realmente espectacular”,
dijo a los tripulantes del Discovery
el astronauta Ken Ham desde el
centro de control de la misión en
Houston,
mientras
el
transbordador se detenía en la
pista. “Bienvenidos a casa,
amigos”, añadió.
En Cabo Cañaveral, la NASA
descartó enviar nuevas misiones al
espacio hasta que resuelva la falla
que causó el desprendimiento de
cinco trozos de material aislante
durante el despegue del Discovery.
“Vamos a tratar de volver este
año al espacio, pero la seguridad
es primero”, dijo el administrador
de la NASA, Bill Parsons.

El Paso County Clerk and
Recorder’s office reports that
Election law violation cases
continue to be prosecuted due to
a cooperative effort with the El
Paso County District Attorney’s
office.
Recently, one individual who
was charged with voting twice in
the November 2005 Presidential
Election pled guilty to a
misdemeanor, while another
charge of declaring a false
residency (a felony) was
dropped. The sentence included
a $5,000 fine and a one year jail
sentence (both of which were
suspended), along with a
requirement of 48 hours of
community service and 12
months probation and $198.50 in
court-related costs.
According to Robert C. “Bob”
Balink, El Paso County Clerk &
Recorder, “It is important to note
that only one of the two ballots
cast by this young women was
counted…the vote here in El
Paso County.”
Two others cases, both
involving felony forgery charges
arising from fraudulent Voter
Registration Drive activities, have
been working through the legal
process.
Today, one individual who
worked for the “New Voters
Project” and was charged with
multiple counts of election fraud
pled guilty to one charge of forgery
(a Class V felony), and was
sentenced to 2 years probation,
200 hours of community service,
and was ordered to pay $322.50
in court-related costs.
“Election fraud undermines our
democracy, and we take the matter
very seriously. The El Paso
County Clerk & Recorder Bob
Balink is extremely diligent in
reporting these offenses and
providing
supporting
documentation, which facilitates
prosecution,” said District
Attorney John Newsome.
Another case involving 19 counts
of forgery by an individual
associated with “ACORN” is
pending further court appearances.
ACORN is an acronym for the
“Association of Community
Organizations for Reform Now.”
Balink continued, “We are
very pleased that District
Attorney John Newsome is very
willing to investigate all
instances involving potential
Election fraud. These are Illegal
actions that threaten one of the
most basic activities of this great
nation, the right to vote, and the
need to ensure fair and honest
elections.
Most of the activity involving
voter registration drives is
legitimate and helpful to many
electors, But, it still baffles me
that people would pass along
personal and confidential
information to a stranger who
has the potential to misuse that
information..”
Citizens with questions
regarding voter registration
drives or any other aspect of
elections are encouraged to
contact the El Paso County
Election Office at 719-575VOTE (8683) or via e-mail at

Sand Creek Massacre named National Historic Site
US Senator Wayne Allard (RColorado) said that legislation
designating the Sand Creek
Massacre site near Eades, in
southeast Colorado as a national
historic site, has been, “Signed,
sealed and delivered to the people
of Colorado,” after President Bush
signed the bill into law.
“I am proud to have introduced
this bill and pushed it through the
Senate so swiftly. It is fitting that
we commemorate the Native
American tribal members who
were killed at Sand Creek in a
dispute with the US Army in
1864,” Senator Allard said. “This
is the right thing to do.”
The bill designates the 2,400
acres as a national historic site,
which will be overseen by the
National Park Service in
partnership with the Northern and
Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho
Tribes. The legislation allows for
land that is acquired from willing
sellers to be placed in a tribal trust
in order to facilitate long-term
legislature. Rizzuto emphasized
that the establishment of the
College Opportunity Fund does
not provide any additional funding
for higher education.
“The funding is the same state
support students have always
received. Historically the support
has been part of a student’s tuition
amount, but it has never been
reflected on students’ tuition bills.
Instead, institutions have shown
only the student’s portion of tuition
on the bill.
Now colleges are required to
show total tuition cost on a
student’s tuition bill and then
reduce the total tuition by the
stipend amount,” he said.
Students will not automatically
get their stipend when they enroll
in a Colorado college unless they
sign up for the College
Opportunity Fund.
To sign up, students may access
the site through the OJC website
at: www.ojc.edu or by accessing
www.CollegeInColorado.org and
click on the College Opportunity
Fund logo located on the
homepage.
The process is simple: Type in
the student’s name, Social Security
number and date of birth in the
appropriate boxes and click on the
“submit” button. Students only
have to sign up once, even if they
transfer to a different in-state
college. For more information
about signing up for the College
Opportunity Fund, contact Otero
Junior College at (719) 384-6831.
The Student Services Center at
OJC has dedicated a bank of
computers in the Student Services
lobby for use by students signing
up for COF.
Specific questions concerning
the College Opportunity Fund can
be emailed to: [email protected]
College Opportunity Fund
In about two weeks the State of
Colorado will begin funding
higher education through a new
process called a student stipend.
The stipends will be
administered through the College
Opportunity Fund (COF) and
establishes a new way to provide
tax support for undergraduate
higher education. Area students
who are currently in college, or
who plan to enter college in the
next few weeks, still have time to
sign up for the Colorado
Opportunity Fund (COF) before
they begin classes. Failure to sign
up for COF will result in higher
tuition for in-state students.
The stipend is not financial aid
— students should apply
separately for those funds.
While Colorado has long
subsidized the cost of college for
its residents, the funding has
historically been directed to
colleges in the form of enrollment
funding. According to Jim
Rizzuto, president of Otero Junior
College, the new funding formula,
passed into law last spring, serves
a dual purpose.
“The new funding formula
shows all Colorado residents that
college is possible with the help
of the state subsidies and it also
releases some state colleges and
universities from the revenue
limitations of TABOR - the
Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights,” said
Rizzuto.
“If a college meets Tabor’s
criteria of receiving 10 percent or
less of their revenues from the
state’s general fund they could
potentially be relieved of the Tabor
limitation that restrict the
percentage of tuition increases.
The stipends will be considered
cash funds rather than state funds
for Tabor purposes. To accomplish
this, state funding will first go to
the student, and then be transferred
to their in-state college of choice.
There are some limiting factors for
students attending private in-state
colleges,” Rizzuto explained.
Once the College Opportunity
Fund is activated in fall 2005,
students will be able to go online
and see the total dollars the state
contributes to their college
education and then direct those
dollars to the college they are
attending. Students will be able
to monitor the number of credit
hours for which their stipend has
paid.
To be eligible to receive the
stipend, students must first sign up
online with the College
Opportunity Fund. Those who do
not sign up will be liable for higher
tuition rates, similar to the rates
paid by out-of-state students.
A student only has to sign up
once; however, the student will
have to authorize payment of the
funds each semester to the college
they are attending. Those funds
will not pass directly into the hands
of the student; instead, payment
will be sent to the student’s college
in their name. The
value of the stipend
is a per-credit-hour
amount that will be
determined
annually by the

dealing with delays in issuing food stamps.”
Thirty thousand people each year experience physical
hunger in southern Colorado. Another 100,000 are at
risk of hunger.
Care & Share is taking steps to offset the low number
of donations by purchasing extra cases of food. This,
however, is not a permanent solution.
Care & Share is asking for the community’s help to
fill their warehouse before the holiday season by
extending an offer to the public to visit their new
warehouse, located at 2520 Aviation Way, Suite 130,
and drop off their donation in person on Friday, August
12, from 8 am - 5 pm. Most needed items include cereal,
canned soups, canned fruits and vegetables, pasta, chili
and rice.
Contributions by both individuals and organizations
make a significant impact on hunger relief efforts in our
community.

& Share, please contact Gary McDonald, Care & Share
President and CEO at (719) 528-1247.

“I supported similar legislation
in the 108th Congress which
passed in the Senate, and am glad
we moved this through the
Congress this year,” Senator
Allard said. “This legislation will
benefit all of Colorado, mark our
history and protect a site that is not
only historic but also sacred to the
descendants of the individuals who
were killed there.”
Congresswoman Marilyn
Musgrave introduced companion
legislation in the House. Both
measures were approved last
week.
Similar legislation
introduced by former Colorado US
Senator Ben Campbell and
Senator Allard was approved by
the Senate last year, but failed to
gain final approval in the House
before the session ended.

Si usted vive con una persona
con enfermedad de Alzheimer o

brindarle una mejor calidad de

Los implantes dentales pueden
ayudar a quienes usan dentadura
postiza a comer sus alimentos
preferidos de nuevo, a reír
espontáneamente y a sonreír con
seguridad.
“Los implantes fijan las
dentaduras a la mandíbula con
tornillos de metal así que es
garantizado que no se mueven, a
diferencia de las dentaduras
convencionales, las cuales
permanecen en el lugar mediante
succión,” dice la Dra. Kathia Steel,
una dentista y profesora auxiliar de
cirugía de UT Southwestern
Medical Center.
Con el tiempo el uso de las
dentaduras convencionales puede
ir deteriorando el hueso de la
mandíbula por la falta de
estimulación y por la succión. Los
implantes dentales, los cuales se
ven y se sienten como dientes de
verdad, dan estímulo al hueso y
ayudan a soportar las fuerzas
aplicadas al hueso de la
mandíbula, previniendo así la
pérdida del hueso.
Las dentaduras con soporte de
implante pueden ser permanentes
o removibles. Las removibles se
fijan al implante mediante
ligaduras especiales y son fáciles
de poner y quitar. Las dentaduras
permanentes son parecidas a un
puente y se unen a los implantes
con tornillos.
“Mucho del éxito del tratamiento
de implantes dentales depende de
mantener sus nuevos dientes
limpios y libres de sarro. Al igual

Mi-Jack Conquest Racing listo para la carrera en Denver
Los pilotos de Mi-Jack
Conquest Racing, Nelson
Philippe y Andrew Ranger
tienen inmensos deseos de sumar
puntos este fin de semana
cuando compitan en el Centrix
Financial Grand Prix de Denver,
en la que será la novena ronda de
la Serie Champ Car.
En la carrera pasada –un
evento impresionante disputado
en las calles de San José-,
Philippe corrió entre los mejores
durante todo el fin de semana,
consiguiendo un sexto lugar, que
es hasta el momento la mejor
posición de clasificación que ha
logrado en su carrera en la
categoría. Sin embargo las cosas
no se dieron como el equipo
esperaba y Philippe tuvo que
retirarse -a causa de la rotura de
una manguera de aceite
provocada por un circuito cuya
superficie era muy irregular-,
cuando marchaba entre los cinco
primeros
“Realmente Nelson tuvo un
buen fin de semana en San José,
y ahora está trabajando muy bien
con el equipo, así que esperamos
que pueda mantener el impulso y
lograr un buen resultado final en
Denver”, dijo el copropietario de
la escudería, Eric Bachelart.
La carrera en Denver marcará
el primer año de Philippe con
Mi-Jack Conquest Racing y el
piloto francés siente que nunca
ha trabajado mejor que ahora con
la escudería, cuya sede está en
Indianápolis.
“Denver es uno de mis lugares
favoritos para correr porque el
trazado en muy técnico y el
evento, en si mismo, es
realmente divertido”, dijo
Philippe. “Tengo grandes
recuerdos de ese lugar porque
allí fue mi primera carrera con
Mi-Jack Conquest, el año
pasado, y fuimos rápidos de
inmediato pese a que estábamos
corriendo con un chasis Reynard.
Este año tenemos un coche muy
bueno en circuitos callejeros y
hemos tenido un buen fin de
semana tras otro, así que
definitivamente vamos en
ascenso. El equipo y yo
esperamos mantener el impulso y
lograr ese resultado que todos
queremos.
En San José aprendimos que
tenemos lo que se necesita para
estar allí, así que nuestra meta es
nuevamente estar entre los cinco
mejores”.
Para Ranger, sin embargo, el
evento en San José es uno que él
prefiere olvidar, ya que un
contacto acabo temprano con su
jornada y le impidió sumar
puntos en la batalla por el título
al Novato del Año.
“Realmente queremos que este
fin de semana Andrew se
concentre en sumar algunos
puntos, porque ha cometido un
par de errores en las últimas
carreras que lo han perjudicado
en la puntuación”, dijo
Bachelart. “El ha mostrado que
es muy rápido y que puede poner
el coche al frente, pero tiene que
mantenerse alejado de los
problemas y terminar”.
Por su parte, Ranger espera
que el evento en Denver le
permita retomar la buena forma
que tenía a principios de
temporada, mientras se prepara
para disputar la carrera frente a
sus compatriotas canadienses en
dos semanas.
“Para nosotros, cuando restan
seis carreras en la temporada, es
el momento de movernos y
cerrar la diferencia en la carrera
de los novatos y volver a
meternos entre los diez mejores
del campeonato”, dijo Ranger.
“Después de toda la adversidad
que hemos encontrado
recientemente, este fin de
semana nuestra meta principal es
llegar a la línea final y sumar
cuantos puntos sea posible.
Esperamos poder mejorar
nuestro desempeño en
clasificación y evitar tener que
pelear para ir avanzando
posiciones durante la carrera,
algo que en un circuito callejero
es difícil. La otra motivación
para querer lograr un buen
resultado es el hecho de que la
próxima carrera es en Montreal y
me gustaría mucho llegar a mi
‘casa’ con una nota alta”.

Energy Outreach awards nearly $75,000 to SE Colorado
Energy Outreach Colorado will
distribute $74,236 in August to
seven emergency assistance
organizations
throughout
southeast Colorado to help seniors
and families with children who are
concerned they will be unable to
pay energy bills due to the state’s
record-breaking heat wave.
“All too often, families in need
feel forced to sacrifice comfort and
safety
during
extreme
temperatures because they can’t
afford to heat or cool their homes,”
said Skip Arnold, executive
director, Energy Outreach
Colorado.
“This can be particularly
dangerous for the elderly and small
children.”
A record-breaking heat wave
descended on Colorado in July.
Colorado Springs-area residents
endured 17 days of temperatures
that reached at least 90 degrees,
more than twice the average for the
area in July.
Farther south in Pueblo, the
temperatures during the third week
of the month soared into the triple
digits, in one day climbing as high
as 108 degrees.
Hot weather is a significant
safety issue for the elderly and
small children.
Of the nearly 105,000 Colorado
households that have received
assistance so far this year from
Energy Outreach and the Colorado
LEAP program, 64 percent include
children. Twelve percent include
seniors.
Energy Outreach is the only
statewide organization raising
money and distributing funds yearround to help these families in
need pay unaffordable energy
bills.
“Energy poverty is a year-round
crisis in Colorado,” said Arnold.
“Many of the families we help in
the summer still are trying to pay
off past-due winter heating bills,
and higher electricity bills from a
month-long heat wave just add to
the problem.”
Across the state in August,
Energy Outreach Colorado will
distribute $528,000 to its network
of 90 crisis assistance sites. In
total, the organization plans to
distribute about $3 million to its
network this year – Nov 1, 2004 Oct 31, 2005.
Energy Outreach also
contributed $3.15 million to the
Colorado LEAP program this year.
Colorado residents can help
neighbors in need pay energy bills
and avoid shutoffs by making a
tax-deductible donation to Energy
Outreach Colorado through its
website
–
www.EnergyOutreach.org
Also on the website are tips for
staying cool at home during the
summer without turning on an air
conditioner, which can be costly.
Neighbors also are encouraged
to check in on seniors and families
with children to make sure they’re
coping well and staying safe
during summer’s extreme
temperatures.
About Energy Outreach
Colorado
Energy Outreach Colorado is the
only non-profit organization in the
state that raises money to help lowincome Coloradoans afford home
energy. Its programs include
energy bill payment assistance,
energy efficiency upgrades for
affordable housing and energy
efficiency education.
Since its inception in 1989, the
organization has distributed more
than $49 million to fund these
programs.
Buyers not on vacation in sizzling resort
market
(NUE) - The phenomenal real
estate boom of the past several
years has not been confined to
sales of primary residences alone.
Sales of second homes also have
ratcheted up dramatically as
vacationers and investors look to
snap up these properties amid the
lure of low mortgage rates and
rapidly increasing home values.
According to a study conducted
by the National Association of
Realtors, 2.82 million vacation
home purchases were made in
2004, up 16 percent from the
previous year.
With the rising demand, prices
also escalated; the price of a
typical vacation home increased
21 percent from 2003 to 2004,
about twice the rate of appreciation
for the overall home market.
In addition to vacation homes,
sales in the second-home market
were bolstered significantly by
those searching for steadily
appreciating investments. Nearly
25 percent of all homes purchased
in 2004 were done so for
investment purposes - a 14 percent
increase from 2003.
Against this backdrop, real estate
firms are recognizing the
importance of understanding and
servicing this influential group of
homebuyers.
“Second-home buyers represent
a vital and growing part of the
overall market,” said Brenda
Casserly, president and chief
operating officer of ERA Real
Estate.
“These discerning buyers have
extremely specific and often
widely varying needs, and real
estate firms looking to lead in this
segment must continue to provide
these consumers with an efficient
mix of one-on-one and Web-based
services and resources.”
ERA Real Estate has been an
industry leader in this area with its
established Resort Properties
International program. The
program features a team of trained
resort experts who can instantly
access key resources from around
the world and provide specialized
information on second-home
properties across all price levels
and comfort needs.
ERA Real Estate also recently
launched Resorts.ERA.com, a
Web site designed specifically to
meet the needs of second-home
buyers. Visitors to the site can
search for properties categorized
by state or other criteria, such as
waterfront locations, ski resorts
and golf club communities.
Through the site, consumers can
connect with sales associates who
specialize in the resort and secondhome market, and access links to
state and local resources as well
as market trends. For more

Sen. Salazar calls for investigation of VA issues
United States Senator Ken
Salazar last week continued his
push for Washington to keep its
promise to America’s veterans by
calling for a federal investigation
of a surprise $1 billion shortfall in
health care funding for the
Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
“Our men and women in
uniform put their lives on the line
every day as part of a compact with
the government that we will
provide for them when they return
home. That promise needs to be
assured. I want answers as to how
this shortfall failed to be
anticipated,” Sen. Salazar said.
In a letter sent on July 27 to
David Walker, Comptroller
General of the United States by
Sen. Salazar and Sens. Richard
Durbin (D-IL), Patty Murray (DWA), and Daniel Akaka (D-HI),
the Ranking Member on the
Committee on Veterans Affairs,
they requested that the nonpartisan
Government
Accountability Office (GAO)
conduct an investigation into the
VA’s process for estimating patient
load.
The letter requested the GAO
examine several aspects of the VA’s
budget process and the surprise
shortfall, as well as recommend
fixes, including:
• The decision-making process
that led to the FY 05 shortfall;
• The strengths and weaknesses
of VA’s process for monitoring
health care demand, including its
models for long-term care, mental
health care and prosthetics;
• The strengths and weaknesses
of the VA’s two-year budget
process; and
• The strengths and weaknesses
of VA’s process of communicating
budget issues to Congress.
“America’s taxpayers and
veterans both deserve hard
answers about how the
Administration wound up in such
a mess to begin with. Hopefully,
this investigation will tell us where
the problem started so we can
move swiftly to correct it,” said
Sen. Salazar.
In late June 2005, the Department
of Veterans’ Affairs acknowledged
a surprise $1 billion health care
funding shortfall for FY 05 and
admitted it had borrowed from
construction funds as well as next
year’s budget to fill the gap.
Thanks in part to the efforts of
Sen. Salazar and his fellow
members of the Veterans Affairs
Committee,
included in the
I n t e r i o r
Appropriations bill
passed by the Senate
on July 29 was an
extra $1.5 billion for
the Department of
Veterans Affairs for
veterans’ medical
services.
There are 26.5
million veterans in
the United States,
including 433,000
in Colorado and
100,000 across the
Nation that have
returned home from
service in Operation
Iraqi Freedom (OIF) or Operation
Enduring Freedom (OEF).

High temperatures inflate air conditioner prices
As we reach the dog days of
summer, there have been reports
that many people are looking to
purchase air conditioners, but
supplies are limited and even
contractors who install the systems
are behind schedule.
The Better Business Bureau of
Southern Colorado recommends
that you don’t wait until summer
to purchase an air conditioner.
“Summertime is not necessarily
the best time to buy one,” says
Rebecca Herrera, director of
operations at the BBB.
“Not only are the prices going
to be higher, but you may be
inclined to pay a contractor more
to get it installed just because you
are desperate to get relief from the
heat. It’s like anything else: supply
and demand.”
Here are some quick tips from
the BBB of Southern Colorado
about looking for an air
conditioning contractor:
• All air conditioning installers are
not equal.
Make sure you get references
from the contractor and then check
them out.
• Make sure you are clear about
what the project involves, as well
as what it will cost.
Get an estimate in writing so you
aren’t sideswiped by any
“unforeseen” charges.
• Contact your local regional
building office to make sure the
company is properly licensed and
insured.
• Call the BBB of Southern
Colorado at (719) 636-0511 to
check the contractor’s status.
The Bureau maintains reliability
reports on more than 23,000
businesses in our area.
We can tell you if a company
meets our standards, has a
satisfactory rating and even
provide information about the
number and resolution of
complaints that have been filed
against a particular business.
BBB reaches out to our soldiers Cont. from page 1
Call us at (719) 636-1155 to get
the numbers.
• If you have any doubts about
doing business with a group,
organization, charity or company,
you can speak to a representative
from 9 am - 3 pm. Through our
automated system, you may
receive a reliability report 24 hours
a day.
• You can always go to our
national website at www.bbb.org
or our local website at
www.bbbsc.org to view company
reports or to get additional
information.
Carol Odell, CEO of the BBB of
Southern Colorado says, “We are
thrilled to welcome back our
soldiers.” We want them to know
that while they have been overseas
protecting Americans, we have
been working here at home to
protect them against unsavory con
artists and scams.”
The BBB continues to develop
programs specially aimed at
helping the military community
and the special challenges they
face. If you or your dependents
need any assistance, please call us
or email us at the BBB of Southern
Colorado. We are here for you.

DEPORTES
Moose or Elk? Don’t mistake the two
By Holger Jensen
Introduced to Colorado 24 years
ago, moose are thriving in many
parts of the state and elk hunters
should know the difference
between these two ungulates. A
hunter who mistakes a bull moose
for a bull elk can be fined more
than $11,000.
This is a mistake that should not
be made, being that the animals are
vastly different in size, color, horn
shape and habits. The Shiras
moose is the smallest of four subspecies and much smaller than an
Alaska moose but a mature bull
still weighs 1,200 pounds, about
twice as much as the average bull
elk. Moose are dark brown and
appear almost black. Elk are light
brown — a bull can be almost
golden — with a pale yellow
rump.
A moose has a very large, long
nose and a “bell” under the throat,
compared to the relatively narrow
snout of an elk. A mature bull also
has broad, flat antlers with paddles
unlike the pointed antlers of an elk.
But the antlers on some young bull
moose have not flattened out yet,
so hunters need to look over the
entire animal before pulling the
trigger.
The largest member of the deer
family, moose have adapted to a
variety of habitats. They favor
abundant willows along streams
and ponds, but “ridge runners”
also forage in areas of lodgepole
pine, oakbrush, aspen, spruce fir
and even sagebrush — in other
words where elk can be found.
They act very differently,
however, when approached by
humans. Typically, moose will not
flee like elk at the sight of a hunter.
Despite these readily apparent
differences, every hunting season
brings a number of illegal moose
kills. Circumstances vary from
mistaken identity by hunters to
blatant poaching. And the
common denominator in most
accidental kills is the absence of
optical aids, such as binoculars or
spotting scope, to properly identify
the species.
The Division of Wildlife stresses
that the accidental killing of a
moose does not necessarily lead to
prosecution and may not count as
part of the hunter’s bag limit if he
or she reports the incident
promptly and takes care of the
meat. Officers will conduct an
investigation to determine if the
kill is accidental — i.e.
unintentionally taking wildlife that
is not due to carelessness or
negligence — and a hunter who
field dresses the animal will be
looked at more favorably than one
who doesn’t. However, anyone
who shoots a moose legally or
illegally and takes only part of the
animal or walks away and leaves
the carcass to spoil will be
charged.
The first moose to reach
Colorado, 12 from Utah, were
planted in the North Park region
near Walden in 1978. There are
now more than 2,000 moose in the
state and they can be found just
about anywhere. Moose have an
uncanny ability to wander where
least expected. They have been
spotted near Cripple Creek, Salida,
Westcliffe, Gunnison, Hayden,
Steamboat Springs and Summit
County. One was seen near the
Eisenhower Tunnel on heavily
traveled Interstate 70 and another
made its way into downtown
Craig.
The Colorado Wildlife
Commission began issuing a
limited number of moose hunting
licenses in 1985. In the first six
years, when the number of licenses
ranged from three to seven, there
were more illegal or accidental
kills of moose than the legal
harvest. But the number of moose
hunting licenses increased
substantially in 1992 and the kill
ratio has gone up exponentially
since then. This year 156 moose
licenses are being issued for the
three moose seasons — archery

Carta de Javier Duran
Querido primo:
Tras enviarle el pésame al
admirado Alejandro Sanz por el
fallecimiento de su padre, amigo
y maestro, comprendí mejor la
clase de personas que él y su ex
(Jaydy Mirchel) son. Estuvieron
juntos en todo momento, durante
el sepelio. Tras la separación, dada
a conocer públicamente por ella
esa misma semana, se consolaron
mútuamente
y
siguieron
guardando silencio sobre su vida
privada.
Aunque no faltó quien le
preguntó a Jaydy por Lena, con
muy mala uva y muy poco respeto.
Ya sabes que el nombre de
Alejando y el título de “Lena” van
unidos en su lanzamiento y
equivale al famoso dilema de qué
fue primero, la gallina o el huevo.
Es decir, el nombre de Alejandro
Sanz ligado a la producción, ha
sido un factor esencial para su
triunfo, pero Alejandro no se
habría subido a la carreta si no
hubiera habido calidad y talento en

encargándose de arreglos, etc.)
hasta que llegó el momento de la
“independencia” y de “Lena”.

ya se hablaba de romance.
— Y yo no hago más que repetir
que es mi padrino.
Un
superpadrino de lujo, imagínate,
¡Alejandro Sanz!
Escuchó mis temas, me presentó
al presidente de la compañía
Warner, que me firmó contrato, y

— ¿Cómo surgió el chisme del imágenes de amistad, pero ya letras muy importantes: “Ven y...”,

2006 Impala builds on
reputation through
strength and refinement
Hispania News had the opportunity to see and learn about the new
Impala for 2006. The countryside outdoors of Nashville provided
a scenic and pleasant experience. The visit to the Country Music
Hall of Fame was value added and most appreciated.
The Impala has been a mainstay with Hispanic auto buyers; you
will be pleased with the 06 editions.
Quiet strength exemplifies the
new 2006 Chevy Impala – an
inherited attribute that is blended
into a sporty sedan that offers
stylish design, captivating
performance and surprising
details, including the latest version
of the legendary small-block V-8
in the Impala SS.
The new Impala competes in the
mid-car segment, delivering
enhanced
premium-quality
features and attention to detail,
including innovative flip-and-fold
flat rear seats and revised
suspension systems that deliver
comfortable, quiet and more
confident ride and handling
characteristics. These new
ingredients improve on an already
popular recipe for driving
satisfaction.
“Strength is an assuring
attribute of the
2006 Impala that
supports its
c o m f o r t ,
features and
captivating
performance,”
said Ed Peper,
Chevrolet
g e n e r a l
manager. “The
I m p a l a
competes in the
largest segment of the industry and
the ’06 model – with all of its
enhanced comfort, performance
and safety features – will help
Chevrolet assert a leadership role
there.”
including more than 290,000 in
2004 – an 8.4 percent increase over
2003 – Chevy’s flagship sedan has
cultivated a growing family of new
and returning customers. The ’06
model builds on the qualities on
which those customers have come
to rely by adding new features
and enhancing others.
Standard and available
safety features include
ABS, traction control and
side-curtain roof rail air
bags on Impala. A new
family of premium-feature

variable valve timing to optimize
performance and economy, is

Design
The ’06 Impala has a new look,
both inside and out, that conveys
sophistication and exudes big-car
roominess. On the exterior, large
headlamps have a premium,
jeweled appearance with three
independent lighting units. These
details complement other highquality attributes, such as tight
tolerances between body
components and substantial
“grab”-style door handles, to
provide an overall feeling of
solidity. Also, new, flat-blade
windshield wipers are used to
provide consistent pressure on the
glass, which helps eliminate
streaking and wind noise.
The Impala SS receives a distinct
front-end appearance that is
separate from other models. It
includes a dual-split grille with a
SS-signature black-diamond
crosshatch pattern. At the rear, a
rear spoiler is standard on LTZ and
SS models, and is available on LT.
The Impala SS also receives bright
exhaust tips.
Inside, the ’06 Impala is packed
with useful features, including

and-fold flat rear seats. The
forward-flip rear seat cushions
create a covered storage area
beneath the seat when the cushions
are down and offer convenient
grocery bag hooks when the
cushions are flipped forward. The
seat back also folds down flat to
create a generous pass-through
from the trunk.
All of Impala’s available seating
features cleaner, simpler and more
tailored appearances. Available
Nuance leather-covered seating
surfaces feature premium deck
seams around their perimeter and
French seams on the center
sections. The seats also have
firmer cushions and increased
lumbar support that provide more
comfort, especially during long
drives.
The Impala also has an all-new
instrument panel design that wraps
around into the door panels and
has a double-hump design that is
reminiscent of early Corvettes.
Impala LS, LT and LTZ models
have a wood-trimmed appearance,
while a sportier, brushed sterlingappearance trim is available. The
Impala SS comes standard with a
“techno”-metallic pattern trim
panel, with the wood-trimmed
appearance as an option.

• Glove box is 20 percent larger

There also is a new family of
audio systems. The three systems
feature new, simple-to-operate
radios that are compatible with the
enhanced Generation 6 OnStar
system. The base CD-radio
includes a six-speaker system. An
uplevel MP3/ CD-radio is
configured for XM Satellite Radio,
with a two-line, 32-character
reconfigurable display and the
capability to select between AM,
FM and XM stations without
having to reset the band. (XM

the 48 contiguous states. Service
fees apply.

An uplevel ICDX radio adds an indash six-CD changer. Impala also
offers a premium Bose audio
system. All radios include a
standard auxiliary input jack for
external devices such as an iPod
or remote cassette player. Located
in the lower right-hand corner of
each radio, the input allows for

the hard work of growing and
getting ready to be born. You’re
supposed to gain some weight
during pregnancy; there’s a whole
other person in there! Trying to
avoid long-term weight problems
for mom shouldn’t be done at the
expense of the baby.
But a long-term study out of
Sweden showed that’s not where
to focus the effort anyway.
Overweight women apparently
don’t gain more weight during
pregnancy than healthy-weight
women, they just seem more likely
to keep what they do gain for
longer.
The 15-year study of more than
500 women was somewhat
comically titled the Stockholm
Pregnancy and Women’s Nutrition
study, or SPAWN. The SPAWN
study gathered data about the
relationship between weight and
pregnancy and maternal and child
health.
The women in the study were
classed as either overweight or
normal weight before pregnancy,
and then classed as low,
intermediate or high weight
gainers during pregnancy, and
finally, as low, intermediate or
high weight retainers at one-year
after the birth.
They checked the women again
after 15 years to see what their
long-term weight outcome was,
and it seems the best indicator of
whether a woman would have
long-term weight problems was
not whether she was heavy or not
before her pregnancy, or even how
much weight she gained during her
pregnancy or pregnancies.
Rather, it was whether or not
she’d lost her excess pregnancy
weight within the first year after
the baby’s birth that had the
strongest correlation with long-
term excess weight. After that
one-year window of opportunity,
the chances of a woman ever
returning to her pre-baby weight
dropped off dramatically.
And that was true across the
weight classes, and no matter how
much the women gained during
the pregnancy, though women who
overgained during pregnancy,
even if normal weight to start with,
were also more likely to keep the
weight long-term.
But the more a woman took off
in her first year following
pregnancy, the more likely she was
to be of healthy weight years later.
Is it any wonder the celebrities
who trade on their looks and their
healthy image invest a lot of
money in personal trainers to help
them drop their baby weight as
quickly as possible? Long-term
weight retention could mean the
end of a career.
Not that they’re the only ones
who promptly drop their post-baby
weight. I see many women who
come in for guidance with weight
loss within just weeks of the
baby’s birth, and I often marvel at
their determination. Having had
three babies, I remember being
wiped out just by caring for the
new baby and dealing with the
sleep deprivation, let alone trying
to take on a new diet and exercise
regimen.
But many more mothers fall into
unhealthy patterns of inactivity
once there’s a baby to be looked
after.
And having grown
accustomed to eating a little more,
some women don’t cut back to an
appropriate eating-for-one level
after birth. The study shows that
getting back into healthy habits as
soon as possible is key to avoiding
that lifelong burden started by a
pregnancy gain.
Of course, weight is like most
health problems in that prevention
is easier than a cure. If you’re
overweight and contemplating
getting pregnant, think about
bringing your weight down
beforehand. Because of the
serious risks to the baby that are
associated with maternal obesity
or diabetes, it’s best to be at a
normal weight before you get
pregnant.
But at any weight, it’s critical
during pregnancy to eat
particularly well, but that doesn’t
mean to eat a whole lot more.
Because while a pregnant woman
literally is “eating for two,” it’s
important to remember that one of
those two is a really, really tiny
one.
Get plenty of fresh vegetables
and good, low-fat dairy. The extra
300 calories a day a pregnant mom
should be eating could easily be
accounted for with a morning
snack of yogurt and fruit, or by
adding three glasses of milk to the
daily intake.
And as soon afterward as you’ve
started to normalize your schedule
and get some good sleep, start
getting your exercise and get right
to work getting rid of that baby

Grants awarded to help low-income, first-time mothers to become better
parents
Grants totaling $8,301,543 have
been awarded to Colorado Nurse
Home
Visitor
Program
participating agencies throughout
Colorado to permit experienced
registered nurses to continue to
visit low-income, first-time
pregnant women and to assist them
in acquiring the skills and support
and knowledge they need to
deliver health babies and to be
effective parents.
The 2005-2006 grants for the
program, also known as the NurseFamily Partnership, include
$7,051,543 from the state’s
Tobacco Settlement funds, with an
additional $1.25 million match
coming from Medicaid funding to
provide continued support for the
Nurse-Family Partnership.
The Tobacco Settlement funds
were earmarked for the program
by the Colorado Legislature during
its 2005 session.
The program, which began in
2000, is based at the Colorado
Department of Public Health and
Environment. It is a voluntary,
evidence-based, prevention
program that has been proven to
improve the health and well-being
of low-income, first-time mothers
and their children through nurse
home visitation services.
Currently serving over 20,000
families in 20 states, several
independent studies have weighed
the costs and benefits of
implementing the program and
concluded that over time, the
program will return $2 - 4 for
every dollar invested.
Douglas H. Benevento, the
executive director of the Colorado
Department of Public Health and
Environment, said, “This is an
important program for Colorado.
New and continued funding will
allow the department to continue
supporting our local health
agencies and partners in delivering
these types of programs that help
keep our communities strong.”
During the grant period, which
began on July 1, 2005 and will
continue through June 30, 2006.
2,167 families in 50 Colorado
counties will be served by the
program.
Esperanza Ybarra, the program
director explained that the
program sends highly educated
and experienced registered nurses
to visit low-income, first-time
pregnant women and assist them
in acquiring the skills, support and
knowledge they need to deliver
healthy babies and be effective
parents.
Women participating in the
program receive education and
counseling on healthy lifestyle
changes, self-sufficiency and
parenting.
Since the program began, the
Nurse-Family Partnership in
Colorado has achieved the
following outcomes:
• 23 percent reduction in cigarette
smoking during pregnancy;
• 38 percent reduction in family/
domestic violence;
• 90 percent child immunization
rate;
• The number of women who got
Update your child's immunizations
Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment officials
have reminded parents and
guardians to make certain their
children have had all the
immunizations required for their
age group before they return to
school this year or are enrolled in
preschool or school for the first
time.
Douglas H. Benevento, the
executive director of the
Department of Public Health and
Environment, said, “Parents will
help give their children a healthy
start to the new school year by
making certain they are up-to-date
on their immunizations.”
He explained that
immunizations prevent children
from getting serious infectious
diseases, such as whooping
cough and the measles and
encouraged parents to schedule
an appointment with their
health care providers to have
their children immunized.
“For individuals who do not
have health insurance and who
want to have their children
immunized, they can call the
department’s Family Healthline to
obtain a list of public health clinics
offering free and low-cost
immunizations. The number for
individuals living in the Denver
metropolitan area is (303) 6922229, or outside the metropolitan
Denver at 1-800-688-7777,” he
said.
A new Web site, launched in
July, also is available and contains
clinic locations and an
immunization schedule that
parents can download and take
with them to their doctor’s office.
The schedule helps track a child’s
immunizations.
The Web site address is

married during participation in the
program increased from 19 percent

• Fewer babies in the program
were born prematurely than the
Colorado rate. The statewide rate
for premature births is 9.6 percent
as compared to 9.1 percent for
program participants.

How to buy a home with a low Down Payment
If you’ve been dreaming about
buying a home but don’t have
much money saved up, you can
still make your dream a reality.
How to Buy a Home With a Low
Down Payment from the Mortgage
Insurance Companies of America
and the Cooperative State
Research, Education, and
Extension Service of the US
Department of Agriculture covers
how you can qualify for a low
down payment mortgage with
mortgage insurance.

to work at a comfortable pace.
• Take time to get the right tools.
It’s much harder to do a job
correctly if you don’t have the
right tools.
For example, if you have a paint
job on your list, you may want to
check out the latest paint sprayers,
which release less paint at a lower
pressure so that the user has more
control and wastes less paint.
Wagner Spray Tech’s Control
Spray High Volume Low Pressure
(HVLP) is designed for applying
materials such as stains, sealers,
wood preservatives, enamels and
other light-bodied materials-not
latex paints.
It’s a handy tool for homeowners
who want to finish decks, railings,
play sets, shutters, lawn furniture
and small projects around the
house that do not require the high
pressure of a latex paint sprayer.
• Don’t hesitate to ask for help if
you need it.
One of the smartest moves a doit-yourselfer can make is to ask for
help when it’s needed.
Go to the hardware store and
admit that you need some free
advice.
Take a free clinic to get some
pointers. Sometimes all it takes is
a more efficient tool or a new way
to view the project.

creates “dual equal” valve timing
adjustments.
The ’06 Impala SS reinstates
small-block V-8 power, with the
all-new 5.3L all-aluminum V-8
that features fuel-saving
Displacement on Demand
technology (DOD).
Developed exclusively for frontdrive applications, the 5.3L engine
produces 303 horsepower (226
kw) and 323 lb-ft (438 Nm) of
torque, with DOD helping to
reduce fuel consumption by up to
8 percent in certain driving
conditions.
DOD technology enables fuel
economy gains by reducing the
number of cylinders engaged in
the combustion process. A
sophisticated engine controller
determines when to deactivate
cylinders, allowing the engine to
maintain vehicle speed in lighterload conditions such as highway
cruising.
All of Impala’s engines are
matched with the Hydra-Matic
4T65-E electronically controlled
four-speed
automatic
transmission, which is renowned
for its smoothness and durability.
A strengthened version is
equipped with the 5.3L engine to
handle the V-8’s torque.
Safety plus crash avoidance
Impala offers standard sidecurtain air bags, which provide
optimum head protection for
outboard passengers. The side
curtain air bags are mounted in the
side roof rails and deploy down to
the lower edge of the windows
from the A-pillar to the C-pillar.
Impala’s other safety features
include:
• Standard frontal dual-stage air
bags
• Improved four-wheel-disc brake
system with all-new front brakes,
improved rear brakes and
increased brake boost quieter
operation, longer pad life, and
more resistance to brake pulsation
• New ABS system includes

kw) and 214 lb.-ft. (290 Nm) of
torque* – more standard power
than previous models and, in fact,
more power as a base engine than
some key competitors’ base
engines.
Vehicles in the United States
equipped with the 3.5L engine are
compatible with E85 ethanol fuel,
allowing the vehicle to run on any
combination of gasoline and/ or
E85. In Canada, the E85compatible 3500 engine is
optional.
Standard in LTZ and available in
LT models is a 3.9L V-6 built on
the same architecture as the new
3.5L V-6.
It uses variable valve timing and
a variable-length intake manifold
to help produce 242 horsepower
(180 kw) and 242 lb-ft (328 Nm)
of torque.* The 3.9L engine offers
more power and usable torque,
with 90 percent of peak torque
available from 1800 to 5800 rpm.
The V-6 engines have an all-new
cylinder block casting and new
cylinder heads, sharing only valve
lifters with any previous GM
engine. The 3.5L V-6 and 3.9L V6 share more than 80 percent
common parts, with the 3.9L V-6
achieving increased displacement
with a longer-stroke crankshaft.
The 60-degree “V” configuration
is naturally balanced, ensuring
drivetrain smoothness and
eliminating the need for costly
balance shafts.
The adaptation of variable valve
timing with the Impala’s V-6
engines is a first for cam-in-block
engines. The system incorporates
a vane-type camshaft phaser that
changes the angular orientation of
the camshaft, thereby adjusting the
timing of the intake and exhaust
valves to optimize performance
and economy, and help lower
emissions. It offers infinitely
variable valve timing in relation to
the crankshaft. The cam phasing

Roque: - Porque he utilizado arena natural en este cuadro y los colores
También he utilizado arena para mostrar las costas de Venezuela.
En la mayoría de mis cuadros siempre utilizo movimientos del mar,
utilizo arena para mostrar las costas.
P: - Este par de cuadros forman la obra?
Roque: - Son piezas independientes porque cada una tiene un centro
de interés pero también pueden utilizarse en forma conjunta.
P : - Cómo se llama este cuadro y en que se inspiro para pintarlo?

Venezuela. Yo crecí cerca de la
costa y extraño mucho el tener la
costa cerca para disfrutar las cosas
que hacia cuando era un
muchacho.
P: El usar la arena lo pone en

venezolana?.
Roque : Si! (rotundamente
afirmativa la respuesta)
P: Por que en este cuadro uso
mucho color rojo?
Roque: - Este cuadro es un
recuerdo de Puerto Escondido, en

Roque: -Se llama “Fiesta” me inspire en el día viernes en Venezuela.
Venezuela hay un lugar donde la
arena es roja y por eso lo he
llamado “Un amanecer en Puerto

Es como celebrar nuestras culturas. Por eso lo llame: “Pintando la
vida celebrando la cultura”
P: - Como es el proceso durante la creación de una de sus obras,
como elige los colores?
Roque: - Lo más importante para mí es que los colores puedan comunicarse entre
ellos y que puedan comunicarse con lo que estoy sintiendo en ese momento en que
voy a pintar. Si los colores no hablan entre ellos definitivamente no son los colores
que van a ir en la pieza.
P: - Colores que hablan... Que cree que le dijeron esos colores a la gente que
eligió este cuadro en la muestra. ?

mis sentimientos yo las veo de esa
manera y creo que la gente pudo
ver que yo quiero expresar mis
sentimientos a través de una obra
abstracta, una memoria de un
paisaje venezolano. Un paisaje
realista mostraría a partir del verde
y marrones todos los colores que
la naturaleza nos ofrece pero en mi
arte yo expreso mis sentimientos
con los colores que yo estoy
sintiendo en ese momento.
P: - Cree que pintaría de la misma
manera estando en Venezuela?
Roque: - Creo que seria diferente
porque tendría todas mis memorias
mas vivas porque ahora son
recuerdos que tengo
P: - Hay un poco de nostalgia?
Roque: - Hay nostalgia porque
extraño Venezuela, eso es algo que
sentimos todos los extranjeros
cuando vivimos fuera de nuestra
tierra sentimos nostalgia y
extrañamos todas esas cosas que
añoramos, familia, amigos...
Logros en la comunidad
P: - Que los incentiva a
perseverar con este arte?
Carla: - Lo primero que podemos
mencionar es que gano el “People
choice award” esto fue algo que
lo motivo mucho. El hecho de que
entre 100 piezas de 100 artistas
diferentes la gente misma
escogiera su obra como la que más
les gusto, el cuadro más original
y diferente.
Como artista fue el empuje que
lo motivo para seguir adelante.
Roque: -Algo importante que debo
mencionar es el hecho de descubrir
un talento porque es un logro
descubrir un talento y usarlo. Otra
es que la gente de Univision vino
a mi casa para hacerme un
reportaje y estuve en un segmento
llamado “Orgullo Hispano” eso
fue otro empuje que me ayudo a
seguir adelante, a seguir pintando
y luchando por nuestro arte.
P: ¿Qué repercusiones tuvo en
su vida social el haber sido el
Orgullo Hispano de Univision?
Roque: - Fue muy importante para
mí que Univision haya reconocido
mi trabajo y el haber salido por
televisión entre tantos hispanos
que viven aquí en Colorado. Fue
muy importante para mí que ese
medio me reconocieran como
artista y muchas personas después
de ese segmento me reconocieron
también como artista y me
hicieron lindos comentarios acerca
de mi arte.
P : - Cómo reaccionaron las
criticas?
Carla: -Con respecto a las criticas,
hemos mandado un portafolio a
una galería reconocida de arte
contemporáneo en Santa Fe, NM
y ha regresado con muy buenos
comentarios y eso es algo muy
difícil de lograr.
