Defense (DoD) to consider and
evaluate relocation of some of the
chemical weapon stockpiles
located at various sites across the
United States.
The DoD also directed the
Army to investigate and develop
alternatives along with relocation
options. According to the DoD
directive, the major focus of the
evaluations is to develop
alternatives to achieve an April
2012 deadline for the complete
destruction of the US chemical
weapons stockpile.
As of January 12, 2005, the US
Army Chemical Materials Agency
(CMA) operations had resulted in
originally declared US stockpile.
The Army currently stores
chemical weapons at eight sites
across the country including
Pueblo, Colorado.
DoD should keep faith with
Pueblo community.
Congressman Salazar released
the following statement in
chemical weapons stockpile:
“For decades, the Pueblo
community has served as good
stewards for almost 10% of our
nation’s chemical weapons
stockpile. As part of this
commitment, we built a
partnership with the Department of
Defense to build a facility and
destroy the stockpiled weapons.
This was a project in which the
community and the military could
work together to do what was in
the best interest our state’s
homeland security and improve
our local economy.

A child or teen killed by gunfire every 3 hours
The horrific death toll from
gunfire in the United States
included 2,867 children and teens
in 2002, nearly eight deaths a day
and 55 a week, according to a
report released today by the
Children’s Defense Fund.
Firearms are the second leading
cause of death among 10 - to 19year olds, second only to motor
vehicle accidents. There were 71
victims under 5 years old. From
1979 through 2002, firearms have
killed a total of 95,761 children
and teens in America.
CDF published the latest
figures today in “Protect Children,
Not Guns,” an annual report that
analyzes data from the US Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention. The report covers
2002, the most recent year for
which national figures are
available. CDF analysts broke
down the data by state, race, age
and manner of death. All the
figures are available on the CDF
website
at
www.childrensdefense.org.
Among the young people lost
to gun violence in 2002 were 581
Hispanic children and teens,
including 34 who never reached
their 10th birthdays. The total
number of Hispanic victims
increased 12 percent compared
with the previous year. From 1990
through 2002, firearms killed more
than 10,000 Hispanic children and
teens.
CDF President Marian Wright
Edelman called for an end to the
killing and urged political leaders
to take action. “Why are we as a
nation so silent in the face of this
slaughter of children?” she asked.
“At this critical time when the
President and our elected leaders
in Congress are making budget
and legislative decisions, it is more
important then ever for parents,
faith leaders and citizens to raise
a moral voice in favor of choices
that protect children.”
In September, President Bush
and Congress allowed the federal
Assault Weapons Ban to expire
after 10 years, making it legal for
Americans to buy rapid-fire
military-style firearms that are
engineered to kill large numbers
of people in seconds. The number
of children and teens who died
from gunfire increased each year
until the ban was put into effect in
1994. During the ban, the number
of deaths of children and teens
decreased steadily. In 2002, the
annual toll in those age groups was
50 percent lower than in 1994.
“Since 1979, nearly 96,000
children and teenagers have died
on the killing fields of
Americamore than twice the
American battle deaths in
Vietnam,” Edelman said. “But
where are the demonstrations
protesting the senseless loss of
these children? Why did the
President and Congress let the
Assault Weapons Ban expire when
these deadly firearms are designed
only to kill human beings, not to
hunt? Why is the NRA able to
block the collective will of more
than two-thirds of Americans, who
favor common-sense gun safety
laws?”
The report calls on all
Americans to take concrete steps
to keep children safe, including
advocating for more stringent gun
control measures. “Every day in
this country we lose at least eight
children to the epidemic of gun
violence,” said Edelman. “The
rate of gun deaths in this country
is higher than any other
industrialized nation, and there is
a reason for that. It is time to stop
promoting the gun industry and
start protecting our children.”
“Protect Children, Not Guns”
and other gun-related information
can be downloaded at the CDF
web
site,

CTU plans Pueblo campus
Colorado Technical University
(CTU), an institution of higher
learning has announced that it
plans to open a campus in Pueblo,
Colorado.
At ceremonies on January 21 at
the Pueblo Convention Center,
representatives from CTU said the
university would pledge $1 million
in scholarships for students who
attend the Pueblo campus, to be
located at Midtown Center. The
campus is expected to open in the
early spring, with enrollment
starting soon.
“We are very pleased and
excited to have the opportunity to
provide Pueblo residents this
opportunity to take a vital step in
their career development,” said
David O’Donnell, CEO of
Colorado Technical University.
“We’re honored to serve Pueblo
because its residents are wellknown for their work ethic and
pride in their community.”
CTU will provide the
scholarships to students at the
Pueblo campus based on their
needs and those of the Pueblo
community, O’Donnell said.
Examples may include the $1,000
Military Appreciation Scholarship
awarded to military personnel and
their family members; the Destiny
Scholarship, a $3,000 award given
to high school students entering
CTU; and the $15,000 Doctorate
Scholarship awarded to students
earning their Doctorate of
Management or Computer
Science.
At the January 21 reception, cosponsored by the Pueblo Chamber
of Commerce, the Latino Chamber
and the Pueblo Economic
Development Corp., O’Donnell
provided signed applications and
checks to join the three
organizations.
John Vigil of the Latino
Chamber applauded CTU’s longstanding tradition of striving for
diversity in education and
employment.
“One of the many ways we
listen to our community is through
direct involvement, directly giving
back to our community,”
O’Donnell said. “CTU also forms
industry advisory boards in our
communities to work closely with
employers in the private sector to
develop and refine industrycurrent curriculum.”
Colorado Technical University
was founded in 1965 in Colorado
and specializes in creating
customized
professional
development for the employees of
some of America’s major
corporations, including FedEx,
USAA, MCI and Oracle. In
addition to the planned campus in
Pueblo, CTU features a campus in
Colorado Springs, two campuses
in the Denver area, one in Sioux
Falls, SD, one in Kansas City, MO,
and CTU Online, an extensive
online learning environment. In
40 years, more than 40,000 people
have attended Colorado Technical
University; CTU’s current student
body numbers more than 10,000.
For the initial phase of its
campus at Midtown Center, CTU
plans extensive renovation of
10,000 square feet to provide
classrooms and labs equipped with
industry-current technology for
communications and learning
success. Campuses in the CTU
system offer a wide range of
undergraduate, masters and
doctorate degrees and professional
certificate programs with
curriculum designed to support
today’s leading career fields.
Program availability differs by
location.

oficiales del Pentágono.
Las estadísticas muestran que
los soldados de origen mexicano
tienen la más alta representación
en las ramas con más
vulnerabilidad a bajas: Los
infantes de marina (marines) y las
tropas del ejército.
Un total de 13 mil 324 soldados
están enrolados en el cuerpo de
infantes de marina, lo que
representa 7.8 por ciento de los
170 mil 762 infantes registrados
por el Departamento de Defensa.
De la misma forma, los

3.6 por ciento de las tropas del

En contraste, los soldados de
origen mexicano tienen su menor

Apenas el 2.8 por ciento de los

prioritario establecer nuevos
mecanismos que permitan una
migración entre nuestros países,
que sea legal, segura, ordenada y
respetuosa de los derechos de las
personas.
Reconoció
las
expresiones públicas recientes del
Presidente Bush sobre la
importancia que este tema tendrá
durante su segundo mandato.
Por otro lado, el Presidente Fox,
comentó a su homólogo
estadounidense, sobre su reciente
visita a Baja California, donde
apreció el dinamismo y el gran
potencial económico de la región
fronteriza. Asimismo, reiteró el
compromiso del gobierno
mexicano para contribuir a
consolidar una frontera segura y
moderna. Los Mandatarios
conversaron sobre la importancia
del reciente proceso electoral en
Iraq y su deseo de que contribuya
a la pacificación y estabilización
de ese país. Finalmente, los

Boy Scouts of America (BSA)
está anunciando Fútbol y
Exploración (o Escultismo), un

y exploración y, en particular, para
los jóvenes hispanos entre 7 y 11

económica, cultural y personal son
bien conocidos por años,” dijo el
Presidente de Florida FTAA, Inc.,
Jorge L. Arrizurieta. “Estos
vínculos y el éxito del NAFTA

tanto para Estados Unidos como
para México. Esta visita servirá
para fortalecer aún más nuestros
lazos y ayudará a que el gobierno

En el año 2003, México fue el
noveno socio comercial de la
Florida de entre 50 países, con un
volumen que representó 2.4 mil
millones de dólares. Esto significa
un incremento del año anterior,

opera con las mismas directrices
y requerimientos que otros
programas para los Cub Scouts, y
los jóvenes podrán ganar
distinciones de Puma, Cachorro de
Tigre, Lobo, Oso y por lealtad,
entre otras.
“El fútbol es una parte integral
de la cultura de los latinos”, dijo
Frank Ramírez, director asociado
de la división Scoutreach, y co-jefe
del programa Fútbol y
Exploración. “Combinando el
fútbol con el programa de
exploración, los jóvenes y sus
familias ya no tienen que elegir
entre dos actividades valiosas cuyo
impacto positivo sobre los jóvenes
es inconmensurable.”
Los padres también participan
en el programa Fútbol y
Exploración como voluntarios y
entrenadores de fútbol. El
programa provee carteles de
‘Tiempo con la Familia’ para que
los niños y sus padres usen
mientras trabajan juntos en casa
para promover su avance como
Cub Scouts y sus destrezas en el
fútbol. La literatura del programa
Fútbol y Exploración se publicará
en español e ingles. Además, la
mayoría de las prácticas y juegos
del programa son eventos
familiares. El programa Fútbol y
Exploración
provee
una
oportunidad para que todos en la
familia aprendan una mejor forma
de vida a través de la exploración
y desarrollo personal.
“Fútbol y Exploración permite
a BSA llegar a este grupo de la
comunidad
que
necesita
servicios”, dijo Roy Williams,
Principal Ejecutivo Scout de BSA.
“El programa ayudará a los
jóvenes a aprender el fútbol y
mantener un nivel continuo de
actividad física, así como a
aprender los valores para toda la
vida que se aprenden en el
programa de exploración”.
Los Boy Scouts probaron el
programa en Denver en junio de
este año, y los niveles de
participación resultaron ser
significativos con 250 ‘cachorros’
de 14 escuelas de educación
primaria. Además, el concilio
local tuvo un 75 por ciento de
incremento en la asistencia de los
hispanos en el encuentro de
reclutamiento en agosto. Hoy,
Fútbol y Exploración se está
estableciendo en toda la nación,
con programas en más de 65
concilios locales de Boy Scouts.
El programa provee fútbol y
uniformes de Cub Scouts a través
de Sporting Essentials, una
compañía autorizada por la
División de Suministro de BSA.
Sirviendo a más de 5 millones
de jóvenes entre 7 y 20 años de
edad con 309 concilios en los
Estados Unidos y sus territorios,
Boy Scouts of America es el

SBA helps small businesses create more jobs
The US Small Business
Administration is changing its
Historically
Underutilized
Business (HUBZone) program to
help small businesses create more
jobs in economically distressed
communities.
“These pivotal changes to the
HUBZone program expand its
reach dramatically and will create
more jobs and economic growth in
economically depressed areas for
small businesses, and stimulate
growth in the nation’s economy,”
said Administrator Hector V.
Barreto.
Under recent legislation, a
small business applying for
HUBZone certification no longer
needs to be owned and controlled
exclusively by US citizens.
Now, the level of required
ownership by US citizens is 51
percent.
Also, agricultural cooperatives
have
joined
community
development corporations and
Indian tribes as entities that can
participate in the HUBZone
Program.
Tribally owned small
businesses also have new options
regarding
the
HUBZone
employment requirement, one of
four basic eligibility criteria. A
tribal business can choose to meet
the 35 percent residency at the
time of application or wait until the
firm actually receives a HUBZone
contract. If this latter option is
chosen, the business will be
required to ensure that 35 percent
of those working on the contract
reside in a reservation area
controlled by the tribe, or an
adjoining HUBZone.
Another change permits a rural
county to qualify for HUBZone
status if its local unemployment
rate is high relative to either the
state’s annualized unemployment
rate or the national unemployment
rate. Previously, the only
comparison was permitted against
the state level.
Finally, small businesses that
either were terminated or are
facing imminent termination from
the HUBZone Program because
the areas where the firms are
located are no longer considered
to be economically distressed will
retain the ability to participate in
the HUBZone Program until the
results of the next census data
collection, scheduled for 2010, is
analyzed and released to the
public.
The HUBZone program was
created in 1997 because of
legislation sponsored by Sen.
Christopher Bond (R-MO) and has
more than 11,000 participants.
The program provides certified
firms an opportunity to compete
for federal contracts and provides
local employment in distressed
communities.
The program boasts an online
application that allows small
businesses to determine whether
they are located in a HUBZone,
apply for HUBZone certification
and check on the status of an
application at any time during the
review process.
For additional information on
the changes to the HUBZone
program, visit the Web site at

SBA extends deadline for size standards comments
The US Small Business
Administration has extended the
deadline by 60 days for advance
comments from the public on key
issues relating to its small business
size standards, the rules used by
the SBA and other federal
agencies to determine whether a
business is small.
The SBA extended the deadline
in response to requests from the
public. Many had asked the
agency to allow more time to
submit comments, given the
importance of the issues affecting
small businesses.
Last month, The SBA published
a notice of the comment-seeking
process in The Federal Register.
The notice, an Advance Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking, didn’t
propose any specific changes to
the agency’s size standards.
However, before SBA
considers a different approach to
restructuring its size standards, it
is seeking comments on a number
of general issues that were raised
by the public in response to the
March 2004 proposed rule that
was later withdrawn.
For more information, read the
advanced notice at SBA’s Size
Standards’ Web site: http://
www.sba.gov/size/anprm.html, or
visit Federal eRulemaking Portal:
http://www.regulations.gov.
Comments for this advanced
notice were originally due by
February 1, 2005. The new
deadline has been extended to
April 3, 2005.
Comments, which should be
identified by the code RIN 3245AF22, can be sent by the following
methods:
E-mail:
[email protected].
Include RIN 3245-AF22 in the
subject line of the message.

Allard introduces legislation to stop chemical weapons study
U.S. Senator Wayne Allard (RColorado) introduced legislation
in the Senate Wednesday to stop
the U.S. Department of Defense
from conducting another study on
the feasibility of transporting the
chemical munitions at the Pueblo
Chemical Depot to another site out
of state to be destroyed, rather than
destroying those weapons on the
site.
Co-sponsors of the Allard bill
include Senators Ken Salazar (DColorado), Mitch McConnell (RKentucky), Jim Bunning (RKentucky) and Senator Richard
Shelby (R-Alabama).
“It is extremely disturbing to me
that the Pentagon wants to study
the possibility of relocating the
Pueblo’s chemical weapon
stockpile after the Pentagon
assuring Senator Salazar and
myself last week that such an
option was unrealistic, not to
mention illegal,” Senator Allard
said.
“Studying whether to relocate the
stockpile is an incredible waste of
time and scarce defense dollars.
The money should be used to help
pay for the rising cost of disposing
of these weapons, not a
meaningless intellectual exercise,”
added Senator Allard.
Two Pentagon officials met with
Senators Allard and Salazar on
January 18 to discuss the
department’s decision to delay the
destruction of the chemical
weapons stockpile at Pueblo, and
assured the senators that the
chemical weapons would not be
transported out of Colorado.
But the next day the Department
of Defense said it would conduct
a three-month study on the
feasibility of transporting the
stockpiles out of Colorado,
Kentucky and Indiana to
operational sites in other states, at
a cost of nearly $150,000, despite
the fact that the Department of
Defense has conducted three
Homelake Soldiers and Sailors home
listed as endangered
Colorado Preservation, Inc. will
issue its eighth annual list of
Colorado’s Most Endangered
Places.
The list identifies five additional
Colorado locations considered to
be under threat.
Included in the list is the
Colorado State Veterans Center at
Homelake.
The center was established in the
San Luis Valley in 1989 as the
Soldiers and Sailors home to
provide a peaceful place for aging
and displaced Civil War veterans.
This continuously operated
complex is the oldest veteran’s
center in Colorado and contains
more than eighty structures
including a cemetery laid out in
concentric circles surrounding a
commanding 1912 monument
dedicated to veterans of the Civil
War and Spanish-American War.
Veterans of the Civil War up to the
war in Iraq are buried there.
Lack of maintenance and a high
water table have led to serious
problems in many of the historic
buildings.
The chapel was recently closed
because of safety concerns. The
attached post office may soon
follow. The two-storey 1898
administration building stands
vacant.
The complex is one of the few
veterans’ centers in the country
designed with residential cottages,
but the 1914-1942 homes, sill used
by resident veterans and their
families, are in need of care. The
cemetery is near capacity.
In 2002, the Colorado State
legislature passed a statute to
establish the center as a repository
for all unclaimed military
memorabilia, This, in addition to
a considerable archive of military
artifacts already collected, has
supporter envisioning a significant
public display.
The Endangered Places Program
has helped save six previously
endangered sites. Colorado
Preservation, Inc. is a statewide
private non-profit organization
support4ed through memberships,
donations and grants.

similar studies over the last two
decades which concluded such a
plan would be impractical.
Currently, it is against the law to
transport chemical munitions
across state lines. “I have already
been told by Pentagon officials
that the study is going to conclude
that the transportation of chemical
munitions across state lines is not
practical,” Senator Allard said. “If
that is the case, why do the study?
Why waste $150,000 to study the
feasibility of an option that is
against the law and has already
been determined by the Pentagon
to be impractical.”
“With the Department wasting
money on meaningless studies, it’s
no wonder that this program is
over-budget and behind schedule,”
Senator Allard said.

Dos Américas tour joins
music of Argentina and the
United States
Jose Paredes was a promising young composer, winning an
international composition competition even before he graduated from
college. Soon after, though, he abandoned music for a spiritual life.
Now, his music is being heard for the first time in the United States
thanks to Argentinean guitarist Alejandro Dávila and Cañon City
composer/ guitarist Jim Bosse.
The US premier of Paredes music is part of the Thursday Night
Recital Series concert
held February 10 at the
Louisa Performing Arts
Center at The Colorado
Springs School, cosponsored by the
Colorado
Springs
Guitar Society.
The concert will
begin at 7:00, but you
will want to arrive early
to hear a pre-concert
recital by The Colorado
Springs Guitar Society
Ensemble, led by Mike
Zimmerman in the
theater lobby. Tickets
are $15 for adults, $10
for students and senior
citizens and are
available at the door or
by calling 475-9747 x110.
The duo, known as Dos Américas, has performed Paredes music at
numerous venues in Argentina, including the prestigious Encuentro de
Guitarristas guitar festival in Junin de Los Andes. “Paredes music is
beautiful,” says Bosse. “Complex arpeggios and dissonance make it
sound very modern, but it is still wonderfully melodic and respects the
traditional dance forms of Argentinean music.”
In addition to the Paredes pieces, Dávila and Bosse will also perform
music by Walter Heinze and Astor Piazolla, Argentinean composers
most Americans are not familiar with. Jim Bosse wrote and arranged
several pieces from the American half of the program, including

earned raves not only for the
beauty of her voice, but for her
insightful songwriting and
intelligent vocal styling.
Cathie Ryan is “firmly in the

Los Angeles Times called her “one

place in the modern world,”
according to the Boston Globe.
In the past 7 years, Ryan has
released three critically acclaimed
CDs on Shanachie Records:
“Cathie Ryan,” “The Music of
What Happens,” and her latest, the
award winning “Somewhere
Along the Road.” In 2004, Cathie
wrote her first film score for the
award winning Irish short, “News
for the Church.”
Ryan is featured on over thirty
compilations of Celtic music
including “A Woman’s Heart - A
Decade On,” which features
Ireland’s most highly respected
singers and songwriters.
“There is nothing like a live
show, being with an audience,
sharing the music. That is the best
part of being a singer,” according
to Ryan. She tours the United
States and Europe with stellar
traditional musicians who add

vocals and bodhrán playing.
On this tour, the Cathy Ryan

April 26, 2005.
Also appearing will be Téada
a group that in just three short

intangible to separate them from
the rest, and if there is a better new
band on the Emerald Isle, then they
must be very, very good,” an
article in the Edinburgh, Scotland,
Evening News said.
Having first come to attention
through an appearance on the
innovative Irish television series
Flosc in 2001, Téada went on to
undertake highly successful tours
of the United States, Finland and
Germany throughout their initial
two years as a band.
Cathie Ryan and her band will

Acura 2005 TL strong
and exciting
Acura now offers three stylish
sedans, the TSX, the class-leading
TL performance luxury sedan and
the all-new RL.
Since its introduction in 1995,
the TL has been a top-seller in an
extremely competitive segment.
Introduced last year the TL
performance luxury sedan has
been Acura’s top-selling model
each month since. The TL quickly
became a dominant force in its
segment, competing head-to-head
with BMW, Lexus and Audi.
“We have strong entries in each
of the segments in which we
compete, and this gives us the
strongest lineup in our history,”
said Dick Colliver, executive vice

and it’s paid off with recordbreaking sales and extremely
strong brand recognition among
driving enthusiasts.
The TL comes equipped with a
270-horsepower engine, a driveby-wire throttle system and an
available close-ratio 6-speed
manual transmission with limited
slip differential.
For 2005, passenger’s seat
weight sensors and driver’s seat
position sensors are applied to the
TL’s front airbag system.
Inside, the TL comes equipped
with
an
array
of
groundbreaking technology. The
Acura/ELS Surround Premium
8-speaker Sound System with 6disc, CD, DVD-Audio and DTS
changer, AM/FM Tuner and
Dolby cassette delivers a new
level of audio fidelity.
The TL also features the

Who’s Who organization honors OJC faculty
The organization of National
Academic Affairs named five
Otero Junior College faculty
members to their honor roll of
2004 Who’s Who Among
America’s Teachers. Students who
have found these teachers to be
exceptional in their ability to teach
nominate the recipients of this
award. The OJC honor roll
included: Jean Armstrong, Tamra
Collins, Deena Fransua, Ed
Stafford, and Abel Vialpando.
Jim Rizzuto, president of Otero
Junior College, summarized the
significance of the Who’s Who
award. “The connection these
faculty members have forged with
students has made a significant
impact and difference in those
students’ lives. We are extremely
proud of our five faculty members,
and hope this award will continue
to inspire and motivate them to
continue opening new doors to the
future for their students.”
Listed among the five OJC
recipients is Abel Vialpando, a 30year faculty member at the college.
Vialpando teaches English,
Spanish I, II, III, IV, and special
topics in language. Tera Lucero,
a former student in his English and
Spanish class, nominated him.
Vialpando is one of over a
dozen OJC faculty members who
got their start at Otero Junior
College by earning an associate’s
degree before completing higherlevel degrees. Vialpando received
his associate’s degree at OJC in
1964, a bachelor’s degree from
Southern Colorado State College
(CSU-Pueblo), and a master’s
degree from Interamerican
University in languages. He hopes
to complete a doctoral degree in
languages in the future.
Vialpando’s passion for
language is evident in his neverending quest to study new
languages and develop new
learning opportunities for students.
In addition to being highly
proficient in English and Spanish,
Vialpando is also fluent in French
and German. He taught French at
OJC for 10 years until the class
was discontinued in 1988. He has
also studied Hebrew, Polish and
Italian. He is currently learning
Russian, Japanese and Arabic, all
with the help of international
students and faculty on campus at
OJC. “I would like to see the
development of a foreign language
department at OJC. The world is
becoming a smaller place and I
think it is critical that American
students learn more languages,” he
said.
Over his 30-year tenure at OJC,
Vialpando finds his motivation for
teaching by watching his students
gain basic skills, confidence and
self-reliance. “I try to be a role
model for my students.
By showing them that I am

Meth crawls the landscape of America
The methamphetamine
epidemic in the United States is
not just a problem in rural
America. It’s so prevalent that a
Google News search on
methamphetamine turns up over
5,000 articles in just the last thirty
days.
The drug has crawled its way
onto the doorstep of nearly every
city in the country and it is so
insidious that it would be hard to
exaggerate its negative effects on
addicted individuals, families and
communities. In fact, a recent
article released by the Rueters
news agency calls it the ‘devil’s
drug’.
Meth lab busts have soared to
well over 1,000 per year in
multiple states and the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA)
reports that treatment admission
rates for this class of drug have
increased more than five times
across the country in the last
decade.
“We have definitely seen an
increase in people seeking help for
meth addiction,” reports Gary
Smith, the Executive Director of
Narconon Arrowhead.
As one of the nation’s largest
and most successful drug
rehabilitation and education
programs, approximately 25
percent of their current clients are
in
treatment
for
methamphetamine.
“Since people come to our
program from across the country,
the increase isn’t isolated to one
area or region,” Smith adds.
Narconon Arrowhead’s proven
track record of successfully
rehabilitating meth addicts makes
them a diamond in the rough, as
most programs have a very
difficult time effectively treating
them. Smith credits their success
to the drug-free rehabilitation
methodology they use that was
developed by American author and
humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard.
The easily obtained ingredients to
manufacture meth (also known as
crank, crystal, ice) and the
mobility of the labs make it
difficult for law enforcement
officials to track down a high
percentage of potential busts.
Even when these labs are tracked
down and the manufacturers
arrested, the toxic chemicals used
in the process are hazardous and
cost thousands to be properly
disposed of.
Information provided by the
White House Office of National
Drug Control Policy (ONDCP)
indicates that methamphetamine
users and manufacturers take
irresponsibility and neglect to the
level of endangerment.
In 2003 more than ten percent
of meth lab-related incidents in the
United States involved children,
most of whom had been directly
or indirectly exposed to the highly
toxic chemicals used to
manufacture the drug. Drug
Endangered Children (DEC)
programs have been developed to
coordinate the efforts of law
enforcement, medical services and
child welfare workers to ensure
that children found in these
environments receive appropriate
attention and care.
In an effort to curb manufacturing
of the debilitating substance
several states are seeking to pass
legislation that makes the main
ingredient
found
in
methamphetamine,
pseudoephedrine, harder to obtain.
Oklahoma, for example, already
has a law in effect that restricts
sales of over-the-counter cold
medicines that contain the drug
and requires consumers to sign for
the purchase.
The plan has even gone to the
U.S. Legislature in the form of the
Combat Meth Act, where the idea
is to put pharmacy items
containing pseudoephedrine
behind the counter and to provide
more resources to law enforcement
officials.
While the problem still grows,
there are hundreds of former meth
addicts that are now living healthy
lives again because of Narconon
Arrowhead.

the Narconon program, visit
www.methamphetamineaddiction.com
today or call 1-800-468-6933.
Chemical stockpile options Cont. from page 1
already invested an estimated $15
million dollars a year just to store
the chemical weapons, accepting
the risk to their neighborhoods
because of the expectation that the
construction would create more
than 1,000 jobs.
In fact, the DOD would have
been the largest employer in the
region. The surprise nature of the
announcement to eliminate the
project was a breach of partnership
and understandably upset the
community.
“Moving the weapons stockpile
increases
the
risk
of
contamination, accident, or
security threats. We need to
eliminate the threat to our
neighborhoods and communities,
not increase the risk by moving
volatile chemical weapons across
hundreds of miles.
We need to take care of the
problem, not transfer it to another
community to be dealt with at a
later date.
And we need the DOD to keep
its promise to create jobs in
Colorado.
“Earlier in the week, I had
invited the DOD to come out and
meet with the community residents
and provide an explanation to the
people most affected by the
decision.
I will work with our US
Senators to encourage the DOD to
reconsider and reaffirm their
commitment to quickly and safely
eliminate Pueblo’s chemical
weapon stockpile.”

St. Mary-Corwin announces appointments
Jacquelynn Sharp has joined
St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center
as director of cardiovascular
services.
In this role, she is responsible
and accountable for planning,
developing,
implementing,
coordinating and evaluating all
aspects of cardiovascular services
to ensure growth of the overall
program by focusing on delivery
of high quality, cost-effective,
comprehensive care and excellent
customer service.
Anthony D’Amico joins St.
Mary-Corwin as its new
administrative director. In this
role, he is responsible for the
administrative direction of the
cancer service line, which includes
the radiation oncology department,
administrative and support
services associated with the
Cancer Center, the inpatient
oncology unit, the ambulatory
infusion center, and will work
closely with all other services
within the hospital which relate to
cancer care.
Dr. Camille Azar has also joined
St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center
as gastroenterologist.
Azar earned his medical degree
from Faculty of Medicine of St.
Joseph University in Beirut,
Lebanon.
He completed an internal
medicine residency at Long Island
College Hospital in New York in
1991, a gastroenterology
fellowship at the University of
Toronto in Canada in 1993.
St. Mary-Corwin receives
level II designation
The Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environment
(CDPHE) has designated St.
Mary-Corwin Medical Center as
a Level II trauma center.
Achieving formal designation
confirms that people severely
injured who are brought to St.
Mary-Corwin receive care that
meets the highest standards
developed for trauma centers.
Designation is the CDPHE
Trauma Program’s process of
evaluating a hospital against state
standards for quality care, trauma
resources and capabilities. The
process required an extensive onsite review by CDPHE personnel
of St. Mary-Corwin’s trauma
services.
“St. Mary-Corwin was
operating as a trauma center,”
explained Renee Elwell, trauma
nurse coordinator, “but the level II
designation by the State of
Colorado required taking the final
steps in improving the regional
response and care delivery to the
critically ill or injured patient.”
Flight For Life Colorado, the
nation’s oldest air ambulance
program, is also often involved in
responding to the region’s trauma
injuries.
“The addition of Lifeguard 4
demonstrates St. Mary-Corwin’s
commitment to trauma victims in
the area,” said Elwell. “The rapid
transportation provided by the
helicopter can make all the
difference, especially to people
involved in rural trauma.”
Trauma, which focuses on
injuries severe enough to cause
death or disability, is one of the
nation’s most expensive health
problems, costing more than $400
billion annually.
Trauma injuries are the number
one cause of death and disability
nationally among people ages 44
and younger.

improve myself and my
knowledge, I hope they will try to
do the same in their lives.”
Vialpando and his wife Flora
have five grown children. In his
free time, he enjoys participating
in the Mariachi Choir and playing
the guitar.
A second OJC faculty member
to receive the coveted Who’s Who
Award for 2004 is Tamra Collins.
Collins began teaching in the
Business Technologies department
at OJC in 2000.
Collins grew up in the Cheraw
community, 10 miles north of La
Junta. After graduating from
Cheraw High School, she attended
Fort Hays State University where
she received her bachelor’s degree
in business. She is currently
working on an MBA degree that
she plans to have completed this
coming July. Before coming to
OJC, Collins taught computer
science for K-12 in WaKenney,
Kansas. She also taught business
at Rocky Ford High School.
Former student Amanda
Beirman from Manzanola
nominated Collins for the Who’s
Who Award. “This is a special
award for me because I enjoy
being able to help students on a
daily basis.
When Amanda nominated me
for the award, it was an affirmation
to know that I do make a difference
in some of their lives,” said
Collins. Collins and her husband
Jim have two children; Jennifer,
age 18 and Tyler, age 15. The
family lives on a farm, near
Cheraw, where they raise sheep
and goats.

Mother Nature has long known the value
of grouping things together.
Saving money is just one of the benefits of a new Wells Fargo Package.SM
We put the accounts and services that you use most – checking, savings, credit cards, for
instance – into one convenient package.That makes them more practical than they would
be if used separately. And, depending on the package you choose you can get lots of extra
benefits such as free Bill Pay, free Wells Fargo checks, even extra discounts on loans and
lines of credit, and more. Still, one of the best things about a Wells Fargo Package is that a
Wells Fargo banker will sit down with you and help you build the one that’s right for you.

Due to legislative changes the
2004 PTC rebates will be issued
in equal installments throughout
the year.
The date the rebate is approved
will determine when the first
payment is issued. To ensure that
the first payment is received in
April it is recommended that the
PTC return be filed in January or
early February.

Dean
Flemming lives in
the
artists’
commune
of
Libre that he
helped establish in 1968 in the Wet
Mountains of southern Colorado.
In his Recent Paintings series
reflects Flemming’s immediate
wilderness surroundings and
consists of large scale, semi-
abstract landscapes. Each painting
holds within it the energy created
by his long and loose, vibrantly
brush strokes that comprise this
series.
Orlin Helgoe: Prairie Wander

world particularly evident in his
depiction of the prairie, a place that

contemplation and spiritual
rejuvenation. In the mid 1970s,
Helgoe’s vision simplified into
landscape sketches of the Pikes
Peak area, and many
of his familiar prairie
symbols disappeared,
with the exception of
the floating blue
circle.
Tony “The
Bricklayer”
Perniciaro was born in
1917 in Brooklyn,
New York. A working
class
SicilianAmerican, Perniciaro
in the late 70s found
his way to Pueblo,
where he lived until his death in
2004. Perniciaro was an untrained
artist who started as a poet,
eventually integrating drawings
and color into his politically- and
socially-charged
poetry.
Perniciaro’s drawings and writings
are an impressive mix of naiveté
and sophistication.
Another outsider artist was
Jesus (Jessie) Montes of Cañon
City. He creates bold pieces of two
and three-dimensional art using
corrugated
paperboard
(cardboard).
In Jessie Montes: Ridges and
Grooves, his portraits of famous
people are striking in their
likenesses, while his landscapes,
design pieces and threedimensional sculptures are
intensely creative and exciting.
Ivy Carter worked as a librarian
and teacher while honing her skills
as a mixed media artist. In her A
Beautiful Mind series, she has
cultivated an “artistic vision” from
a strong personal and psychic
reaction to her experiences, which
she then translates
into
artistic
expression.
And for a bit of
international flavor
there will be some
etchings by one of
the Grand masters.
Rembrandt loved
etching as much as
painting, and his
genius extended to
every
subject:
p o r t r a i t s ,
landscapes, biblical,
beggars, musicians,
monks and more.
His scope was so
vast that he can be
considered
a
watershed for all
printmaking that has ensued. In
Rembrandt: The Moreschini
Collection, Dr. Moreschini
assembled an important and
comprehensive collection of
etchings by Rembrandt and his
studio.
