Colorado schools named
Blue Ribbon achievers
Luis Miguel, el conocido cantante mexicano, ofreció un concierto en la ciudad de Denver el pasado 4 de
Octubre en el Magness Arena con un lleno casi total. Como parte de su gira con el nombre de: “México en
la Piel 05-06 tour”, Luis Miguel deleitó a sus fans por espacio de más de 2 horas. Enmedio de luces, una
pantalla gigante y sus músicos, apareció el llamado “Sol de México” y con buen humor saludó a la gente
y cantó canciones viejas y nuevas, entre ellas el tema de su gira “México en la Piel” acompañado de
mariachi. Al concluir el concierto, se despidió de sus fanáticos, quienes no dejaban de gritar para que
saliera nuevamente y después de unos minutos, Luis Miguel volvió a salir para seguir cantando por un rato
más. Sin lugar a dudas, sigue siendo uno de los cantantes favoritos, no sólo de los latinos, ya que el
lugar estaba lleno de personas de todas partes del mundo.

Four schools in Colorado have
been named No Child Left Behind
Blue Ribbon Schools of 2005, US
Secretary of Education Margaret
Spellings has announced.
The following schools in
Colorado will receive an award
certificate as part of the Blue
Ribbon Schools program for the
progress they have made under No
Child Left Behind:
• Abrams Elementary School,
Fort Carson
• Bradford Elementary School,
Pueblo
• Liberty Common School,
Fort Collins
• Maple Grove Elementary
School, Golden
“The achievement gap is closing
and that is great news for every
student,” Spellings said. “These
Blue Ribbon Schools are an
example of what teachers and
students can achieve.
For the first time, we are
insisting on results and
accountability in return for our
federal investment in education.
In the three plus years since No
Child Left Behind was signed into
law, we’ve learned a new equation:
‘Accountability plus high
expectations plus resources equals
results.’”
The No Child Left Behind Blue
Ribbon Schools program
recognizes schools that make
significant progress in closing the
achievement gap or whose
students achieve at very high
levels. This year, 295 schools will
be recognized as Blue Ribbon
Schools.
The schools are selected based on
one of three criteria:
• Schools with at least 40 percent
of
their
students
from
disadvantaged backgrounds that
dramatically improve student
performance on state tests;
• Schools whose students
regardless of background, achieve
in the top 10 percent of their state
on state tests;
• Private schools that achieve in
the top 10 percent in the nation.

Catholic Charities offers
Nurturing Parenting
Program in Spanish
Catholic Charities is pleased to
announce that they are one of the
newest agencies in Colorado to
offer the Nurturing Parenting
Program for Spanish speaking
parents of infants and toddlers.
Catholic Charities is excited to
be among the sixteen agencies in
Colorado to offer this innovative,
thoroughly researched curriculum
to the Pueblo area through the
funding of the Colorado Children’s
Trust Fund.
The Spanish Nurturing
Parenting Program is a familycentered program for both parents
and children ages birth to 5 years
designed to build nurturing skills
and increasing unconditional love
within a family. Parents will learn
skills to raise their children with
enjoyment and confidence. The
courses teach participants about
the developmental processes of a
child, the importance of offering
children choices, and showing
children they are loved and
respected. Research has shown
that the program helps parents to
be more empathetic and nurturing
caretakers.
Catholic Charities will start
serving the Pueblo area with the
Spanish Nurturing Parenting
classes starting November 9, 2005.
Classes are held on a weekly basis
and snack will be served to all
participants and their kids. The
atmosphere will be light, fun, and
educational.
If you are interested in
participating in the program,
please contact Karen DeHerrera at
719-544-4233.

BBBSC recognized for excellence
At the recent meeting of the
International Assembly of Better
Business Bureaus in Las Vegas,
NV, the Better Business Bureau®
of Southern Colorado received
“2005 Outstanding Bureau
Awards” for excellence in several
categories.
First, the Bureau won an award
in the category of “Outstanding
Investigations” for its work
uncovering a travel-related scam
involving a company called
Vacation Properties International.
As a result, the persons responsible
for this crime were arrested by the
US Attorney’s Office in CA.
Next, the Bureau’s local
consumer affairs television
program, The BBB Eye was
named the winner of a “Special
Project” category. The BBB Eye,
which airs numerous times
monthly on Adelphia Cable
channel 2, is now planning its
second season.
The BBBSC was also named
runner-up for the John Myers
award, which recognizes the “best
of the best” of the Better Business
Bureau System. Carol Odell, CEO
of the BBBSC,
accepted these awards on behalf of
the Bureau at an awards ceremony
held Sept. 20.
OJC hosts business leaders from Peru
Otero Junior College recently
had the opportunity to host four
business leaders from Peru who
are visiting Colorado as members
of the Rotary International
Foundation’s Group Study
Exchange team.
According to Sally Cope, a
member of the local Rotary Club,
the team will be touring Colorado
through the end of October
learning about technology,
communications, health care, and
business management. “For over
40 years the Rotary Foundation
has been sponsoring the Group
Study Exchange program in an
effort to foster professional
development, international
understanding, and cross-cultural
friendships among nations,” said
Cope. “The local Rotary Club put
together a tour of our area that we
felt would showcase our business
and technology leaders as well as
allow the team members to
experience some of our history and
culture,” she said.
Mark Allen, director of the OJC
Computer Center, provided the
team with a tour of the college’s
Computer Network Center,
demonstrated the use of PICTEL
technology in the video conference
room, spoke about the college’s IP
based phone system, and gave a
brief
overview
of
the
SmartStations®
and
SmartBoard® utilized in many of
the college’s classrooms.
“The team members were familiar
with a lot of our communication
technology, including our IP
phone system,” said Allen.
“While most modern
communication technology is
available to them, their biggest
obstacle in developing a
communication infrastructure
throughout their country lies with
the fact that a large part of their
country is mountainous with rough
terrain.
The costs associated with laying
fiber and establishing networks in
those regions are extremely
expensive. As a result, some
regions of their country do not
have access to up-to-date
technology,” said Allen.
The team’s leader, Francis
Nagle, is a member of Rotary in
A team of business leaders from Peru

Préstamos para Pequeñas
Empresas Alcanzan Quinto
Récord Consecutivo
Los negocios pequeños
americanos recurrieron a la
Agencia Federal para el Desarrollo
de la Pequeña Empresa en busca
de financiamiento comercial en
cifras récord en el año fiscal 2005,
y obtuvieron 97,891 préstamos a
través de sus dos principales
programas, lo que constituyó un
récord por quinto año consecutivo.
La cifra es más del doble de la
cantidad de préstamos que la SBA
respaldó en el año fiscal 2000.
“Esta es una noticia fantástica
para los negocios pequeños y nos
complace mucho los resultados
que tuvimos en nuestros dos
principales programas en el año
fiscal 2005”, dijo el administrador
de la SBA, Héctor V. Barreto.
“Esta tendencia de crecimiento
positivo significa que la misión del
Presidente de proveer un entorno
económico en el que los
empresarios puedan tener éxito
está funcionando. Demuestra
también que los negocios
pequeños continúan siendo la
fuerza motriz de la
economía
y
creando empleos”.
“También es
algo positivo para
l
o
s
contribuyentes”,
agregó Barreto”.
“El año pasado el
costo
de
operaciones del programa 7(a) fue
de $100 millones”, dijo Barreto.
“Este año, modestos honorarios
que se les cobraron a los
prestatarios y a los prestamistas
nos permitieron encarar la
extraordinaria demanda de estos
préstamos sin tener que recurrir al
apoyo de los contribuyentes. Nos
da mucho orgullo que estos
programas tan efectivos en materia
de costo han sido una ganancia
total tanto para los negocios
pequeños como para los
contribuyentes americanos”.
La SBA garantizó 88,912
préstamos mediante su principal
programa, el 7(a), para un total de
$14,000 millones, un aumento de
23 por ciento en la cantidad de
préstamos comparado con el
anterior año fiscal. Los negocios
pequeños utilizan estos préstamos
principalmente para capital de
trabajo.
En el programa de Compañías de
Desarrollo Certificadas, conocido
también como el 504, se hizo
8,979 préstamos por un total de
$4,900 millones. La cantidad de
estos préstamos hechos bajo el
programa 504 aumentó en 16 por
ciento comparado con el anterior
año fiscal. Los préstamos se
utilizan para comprar o rehabilitar
bienes inmuebles tales como
terreno, edificios, maquinaria y
equipos. Los grupos minoritarios
recibieron $5,800 millones en
financiamiento 7(a) y 504, lo que
representa 31 por ciento de todo
el dinero, y un aumento de 26
porciento en comparación con el
año anterior. Las mujeres
recibieron $3,300 millones en
financiamiento 7(a) y 504, lo que
representa 17 por ciento de todo
el dinero, y un aumento de 27 por
ciento sobre el año anterior.
Tanto las mujeres como los
grupos minoritarios registraron
también aumentos de dos dígitos
en la cantidad de préstamos en
comparación con el año anterior.
Los préstamos a Afro americanos
aumentaron en 41 por ciento.
Para los hispanos, el aumento
fue de 19 por ciento, y de 17 por
ciento para los asiáticos. Los
préstamos a mujeres se
incrementaron en 39 por ciento
sobre el año fiscal 2004.

La segunda entrega de los
“Premios Juventud”, la ceremonia
de la cadena Univision que celebra
las preferencias de los jóvenes
hispanos en Estados Unidos, fue
vista por una audiencia récord de
todas las edades.
El espectáculo musical de tres
horas de duración, repleto de
celebridades internacionales,
captó más televidentes que su muy
exitosa primera entrega el año
pasado, y clasificó como el
segundo especial más visto por
hispanos este año, en cualquier
idioma, superado únicamente por
el “Premio Lo Nuestro a la Música
Latina” de Univision, el cual
siempre arrasa en los ratings.
El dinámico y muy original
show de “Premios Juventud” les
ganó a todos los demás premios
más establecidos como los Oscar,
los Golden Globe, los Billboard y
los Latin Billboard, obteniendo un
impresionante rating de 23.5
puntos en hogares hispanos y
captando una audiencia de 4.8
millones de televidentes.
Con un rating de 12.8 entre
televidentes hispanos jóvenes (12
a 34 años), la transmisión casi
triplicó la audiencia hispana de los
MTV Video Music Awards 2005.
Entre adolescentes, los 9.6 puntos
de rating de “Premios Juventud”
representa un aumento del 50%
sobre el programa del año pasado.
Demostrando el poder de
atracción que tienen los especiales
de Univision, los “Premios
Juventud 2005”
elevaron a la cadena a la posición
#4 durante el horario estelar entre
todos los adultos 18-34, no
importa el idioma, en la primera
noche de jueves de la temporada
nueva.
Reconocimiento para empresas hispanas
por Lolbé Corona
Son parte de las 500 mejores
compañías hispanas del país,
según una revista. Las aplaudieron
en papel y ahora lo harán en vivo
y a todo color.
Las 11 compañías
locales que estuvieron
incluidas en la lista de las
500 mejores empresas
hispanas de Estados
Unidos de la revista
Hispanic
Business
recibirán
un
reconocimiento este
jueves en el Museo de
Arte de San Antonio.
El reconocimiento les
será entregado por la
propia
Hispanic
Business,
General
Motors y la Cámara Hispana de
Comercio de San Antonio
(SAHCC) por formar parte del
listado dado a conocer en junio.
Hispanic Business publica la lista
desde 1983. El primer año incluyó
400 empresas, pero con el tiempo
el número ha crecido hasta 500.
“La idea del directorio es mostrar
la evolución y el desempeño de las
compañías hispanas a través de su
crecimiento y de sus ingresos”,
dijo
Cynthia
Márquez,
investigadora de la revista.
Las empresas del listado tienen
ingresos anuales desde $5 millones
hasta $50 millones o más.
Para elaborar el directorio,
Hispanic Business comienza la
investigación de las compañías en
enero y analiza su rendimiento y
estados financieros, según
Márquez.
La revista considera a los negocios
que
son
propiedad
de
estadounidenses de origen
hispano. Otro requisito es que 51%
o más de sus empleados también
sean hispanos.
“Siempre hemos estado entre los
primeros 10 lugares y para
nosotros es un reconocimiento
muy importante”, dijo Ernesto
Ancira, presidente de Ancira
Enterprises, que ocupó el octavo
lugar, el más alto entre las
empresas locales (ver tabla).

Cistitis Intersticial: Lo que usted debe saber
La cistitis intersticial (CI) es una
enfermedad crónica, seria y
debilitante que aflija a casi un
millón de personas en los Estados
Unidos. ¿Ha oído usted de ella
alguna vez? Si usted respondió no,
usted no está solo. CI es tan
común como la enfermedad de
Parkinson; sin embargo pocas
personas han oído de ella.
CI es una condición inflamatoria
crónica de la pared de la vejiga que
causa frecuencia urinaria, urgencia
y dolor. No se sabe la causa. A
diferencia de la cistitis ordinaria o
infección de las vías urinarias, CI
no es causada por bacterias y no
responde a la terapia antibiótica
tradicional. CI puede afectar a
personas de cualquier edad, raza
o sexo. Sin embargo, afecta
mayormente a las mujeres. Y,
aunque en el pasado muchos
médicos desecharon los síntomas
de sus pacientes como “solamente
en las cabezas”, es importante
notar que la CI no es una
enfermedad psicosomática, ni es
causada por tensión emocional.
¿Cuáles son los síntomas de la
CI?
Los síntomas de CI pueden
variar desde ligeros hasta severos.
CI puede afectar virtualmente cada
aspecto de la vida del paciente, y
puede
incluir
cualquier
(cualesquiera) o todos de los
siguientes:
Frecuencia urinaria:
Frecuencia de la micción por día
y/ o por noche (que puede alcanzar
cada 15 a 20 minutos, día y noche).
En casos incipientes o levísimos,
a veces la frecuencia es el único
síntoma. En los casos severos, los
pacientes
pueden
serles
imposibilitados de salir de casa.
Urgencia urinaria: La
sensación de tener que orinar
urgentemente, que también puede
ser acompañada con dolor, presión
o espasmos.
Dolor: Se puede sentir en la
región pélvica, o en las áreas de la
vejiga, la uretra o la vagina.
Frecuentemente se asocia el dolor
también con las relaciones
sexuales. Los hombres con CI
pueden sufrir dolor testicular,
escrotal, y/ o perineal y
eyaculación dolorosa.
Algunos pacientes con CI se
quejan de dolor de músculos y de
articulaciones,
migrañas,
reacciones alérgicas y problemas
gastrointestinales además de los
síntomas más comunes de CI
descritos arriba. Parece que la CI
tiene una asociación aún no
aclarada con ciertas otras
enfermedades crónicas y
síndromes de dolor como la
vestibulitis vulvar, la fibromialgia
y el síndrome de intestino irritable.
¿Cómo se diagnostica la CI?
Para hacer un diagnóstico de CI,
primero se debe excluir otras
enfermedades, tales como
Consejos para el uso de
sedante
Muchas personas recurren a la
melatonina, un suplemento que se
vende sin prescripción y que ha
sido asociado con el sueño, pero
no debe ser usada como un sedante
a largo plazo, dice el experto en
sueño Dr. John Herman.
“La melatonina no es una píldora
para dormir,” dice el Dr. Herman,
profesor de psiquiatría de UT
Southwestern Medical Center y
director de la Clínica de Trastornos
del Sueño del Children’s Medical
Center Dallas.
“Sin embargo, en algunas
personas puede tener efectos
sedativos por un breve periodo de
tiempo.”
La melatonina, una hormona
secretada por la glándula pineal en
el cerebro, ayuda al cuerpo a saber
cuándo es hora de dormir y hora
de levantarse. Es el segundo
estímulo más poderoso para
reajustar nuestros relojes
biológicos, siendo la luz la
herramienta más efectiva, dice el

infecciones de las vías urinarias
(IVU) o cáncer de la vejiga. Luego
se practica una cistoscopia con
hidrodistensión (un procedimiento
usado para mirar directamente en
la vejiga después de distenderla)
bajo anestesia general o regional.
Una cistoscopia en la oficina
puede no revelar las pequeñitas
hemorragias, y además puede ser
demasiado dolorosa para que el
paciente con CI la aguante. Es
necesario distender la vejiga bajo
anestesia general o regional para
ver las glomerulaciones (las
pequeñitas hemorragias) en la
pared de la vejiga, las cuales son
las marcas características de esta
enfermedad, y están presentes en
90 por ciento de los pacientes con
CI.
Cinco a 10 por ciento de los
pacientes con CI tienen úlceras en
la pared de la vejiga, las cuales se
llaman úlceras o parches de
Hunner. Diez por ciento de los
pacientes con CI no tienen ningún
indicio cistoscópico de pequeñitas
hemorragias o úlceras; sin
embargo, se necesita darles
tratamientos contra la CI para
mejorar sus síntomas.
¿Cuales tratamientos están
disponibles corrientemente?
Una combinación de estas
terapias puede ser necesaria para
tratar CI con éxito:
• Modificación de la dieta.
Muchos pacientes con CI han
averiguado que eliminar ciertos
alimentos y bebidas, tales como
los que son condimentados o
acídicos, y los que contienen
cafeína, alcohol o dulcificantes
artificiales, puede ayudar a aliviar
los síntomas.
•
Elmiron® es el único
medicamento oral aprobado
específicamente
para
el
tratamiento de CI.
• Los antidepresivos tricíclicos,
los cuales a menudo son
beneficiosos a causa de sus
propiedades contra el dolor,
además de sus propiedades
anticolinérgicas.
• Los antihistamînicos, tales como
la Hidroxizina (Atarax®,
Vistaril®), también pueden ser
beneficiosos, especialmente para
los pacientes con alergias además
de CI.
• Otros medicamentos orales que
pueden ser beneficiosos incluyen
medicamentos antiinflamatorios
no
esteroides
(AINE),
antiespasmádicos, drogas que
relajan los músculos, y si el dolor
es severo, analgésicos opioides.
Se puede usar las instilaciones
vesicales para aliviar los síntomas
de CI, inclusive:
•
RIMSO-50
[DMSO
(dimetilsulfóxido)]
un
medicamento antiinflamatorio de
prescripción que se da por
instilación vesical. Se puede
mezclar el DMSO con otros
agentes inclusive el bicarbonato,
los esteroides y los anestésicos
locales para formar un “cóctel”
vesical.
Otros tratamientos para la CI
incluyen:
• Aparato para la estimulación
eléctrica transcutínea sobre el
nervio (TENS siglas en inglés),
acupuntura y acupresión, masaje,
bodywork, yoga, biofeedback,
relajación miofascial, disminución
de la tensión nerviosa,
representación en la mente y
regímenes de ejercicio moderado
han sido beneficiosos para algunos
pacientes.
• Implante para estimulación de
los nervios sacrales - Este aparato
para implantación quirúrgica es
aprobado por la FDA (las siglas en
inglés para la Dirección de
Alimentos y Medicinas) para uso
en la incontinencia de urgencia,
además de la frecuencia y la
urgencia urinaria. Actualmente es
un tratamiento experimental para
los pacientes con CI.
• Cirugía, la cual se reserva
solamente para los casos más
severos (menos de 5 por ciento de
la población de pacientes).

Loans to Small Businesses post Fifth Consecutive Record
Small businesses turned to the US
Small Business Administration for
commercial financing in record
numbers in fiscal year 2005,
securing 97,891 loans through its
two main small business loan
programs, setting a loan volume
record for the fifth consecutive
year.
The figure is more than double
the number of loans made in FY
2000.
“This is fantastic news for small
businesses and we’re very pleased
with the results our two main loan
programs showed in FY 2005,” said
SBA Administrator Hector V.
Barreto. “This positive growth
trend means that the President’s
mission of providing an economic
environment
in
which
entrepreneurs can succeed is
working. It is further evidence that
small businesses are continuing to
power the economy and create jobs.
“It’s also a positive thing for the
taxpayers,” Barreto added. “In FY
2004 it cost $100 million in
government dollars to operate the
7(a) program. In FY 2005,
modest fees paid by the lenders
and borrowers have allowed us to
meet the extraordinary demand
for these loans and dollars without
taxpayer expense. We’re proud
these cost-effective programs
have been a win-win for small
businesses and the American
taxpayer.” The SBA guaranteed
88,912 loans through its flagship
7(a) program for a total of $14
billion, a 23 percent increase in the
number of loans compared to the
previous fiscal year. Small
businesses use these loans
primarily for working capital.
In the Certified Development
Company loan program, also
known as the 504 program, 8,979
loans were made for $4.9 billion.
The number of loans is up 16
percent compared to last fiscal
year. The loans are used to buy or
rehabilitate fixed assets such as
land, buildings and machinery and
equipment.
Minorities received $5.8 billion
in 7(a) and 504 financing,
representing 31 percent of total
dollars, an increase of 26 percent
over the previous year.
Women received $3.3 billion in
7(a) and 504 financing,
representing 17 percent of total
dollars, an increase of 27 percent
over the previous year.
Women and minorities also
registered double digit increases in
the number of loans over the
previous fiscal year. Loans to
African Americans were up 41
percent. For Hispanics, the
increase was 19 percent and for
Asians it was 17 percent. Loans
to women were up 39 percent over
FY 2004.

Under No Child Left Behind,
schools must make Adequate
Yearly Progress, or AYP, in
reading and language arts and
mathematics.
Each state sets its own academic
standards and benchmark goals not the federal government because each state knows best
what goals and criteria are most
appropriate for its school districts.
The No Child Left Behind Act
is the bipartisan landmark
education reform law designed to
change the culture of America’s
schools by closing the
achievement gap, offering more
flexibility to states, giving parents
more information and options and
teaching students based on what
works. Under the law’s strong
accountability provisions, states
must describe how they will close
the achievement gap and make
sure all students, including those
with disabilities, achieve
academically. Secretary Spellings
has also undertaken a number of
initiatives to ensure that students
displaced by Hurricane Katrina
can continue their education and
achieve academically. The Bush
Administration is proposing up to
$2.6 billion in funding to affected
elementary, secondary and post
secondary institutions in the Gulf
Region as well as schools taking
in displaced students.

800 Number refers Small Businesses to Katrina and Rita contracts
Small business owners will have
increased opportunities to
participate in federal prime and
sub-contracting rebuilding efforts
in the areas affected by hurricanes
Katrina and Rita.
The US Small Business
Administration has partnered with
the US General Services
Administration and other federal
agencies to provide a toll-free
number, 1-800-FED-INFO (800333-4636), to help small
businesses learn about hurricane
relief efforts, contracting and
rebuilding opportunities.
A customer service
representative from GSA will field
the calls and direct callers to the
appropriate SBA district office
representative.
The SBA has designated
personnel from each district office
to respond to these inquiries and
make referrals to the SBA’s
procurement
center
representatives and others as
necessary.
“As part of the unprecedented
rebuilding effort following the
devastation by these hurricanes,
we want to make sure small
businesses have the opportunity to
seek federal contracting dollars,”
said SBA Administrator Hector V.
Barreto.
“We are pleased to partner with
GSA and other federal agencies to
make interested small businesses
aware of all possible contracting
opportunities.”
“The National Contact Center,
operated by GSA under the USA
Services program, has responded
to over 190,003 calls and e-mails
via 1-800-FED-INFO (333-4636)
and FirstGov.gov from citizens
seeking information about
hurricane recovery activities since
Katrina first impacted the Gulf
Coast,”
said
Associate
Administrator of GSA’s Office of
Citizen
Services
and
Communications, M.J. Pizzella.
“I am proud that GSA’s contact
center will serve as a resource for
small businesses to learn about
contracting opportunities and I
look forward to working with SBA
and the federal interagency
community to do whatever is
necessary to rebuild the Gulf
Coast.”
SBA recommends Deferment Relief
in wake of disaster
The US Small Business
Administration urged 7(a)
participating lenders, 504 program
Certified
Development
Companies and microlenders to
provide deferment relief for
borrowers with SBA-backed
business loans in the primary
disaster areas affected by
Hurricane Katrina and contiguous
parishes/counties.
The declared disaster areas may
be found online at <http://
www.sba.gov/disaster>, and then
go to the hyperlink titled
“Hurricane Katrina SBA Disaster
Notices and Fact Sheets.”
SBA Administrator Hector V.
Barreto made the appeal as he
announced that the agency will
provide relief to certain borrowers
with SBA-serviced loans,
including SBA microlenders, with
existing SBA loans in those areas.
“Small businesses are the
backbone of our economy and will
play a fundamental role in the
recovery of the Gulf Coast
region,” said Administrator Hector
V. Barreto. “We at the SBA are
committed to providing them with
the help they need to get back on
their feet, and a deferment can go
a long way toward that goal. We
strongly encourage our lending
partners to follow suit and try and
accommodate
borrowers
adversely affected by the events of
Hurricane Katrina.”
Effective immediately, the SBA
is providing an automatic 12month deferment of principal and
interest payments for SBAserviced business and disaster
loans that were in regular servicing
status on August 29, 2005, in those
primary
counties/parishes
designated as federal disaster
areas. Interest will continue to
accrue on the loans involved.
Borrowers are being notified of
the automatic deferment on their
monthly payment notices. After
this automatic 12-month
deferment period, SBA will
review borrower circumstances on
a case-by-case basis to determine
the nature and extent of further
relief that may be appropriate.
Borrowers located in counties
contiguous to the primary
counties/parishes in the disaster
areas who have suffered an
adverse impact because of the
disaster may also be eligible for 12
months of principal and interest
deferments on SBA-serviced
business and disaster loans, but
these deferments will not be
automatic in those areas. Instead,
these borrowers can ask the SBA
for a deferment, and the agency
will evaluate those requests on a
case-by-case basis.
SBA loan servicing personnel in
those areas will respond to
requests from borrowers
experiencing difficulty in making
their loan payments and process
requested deferments of these
payments.
SBA staff in district offices and
servicing centers will advise
lenders of the need to
accommodate
borrowers
adversely affected by Hurricane
Katrina.

The music and celebrity filled 3

than its highly successful first
outing to become the second mostwatched special of the year in any
language among Hispanics,
surpassed only by Univision’s
perennial ratings blockbuster, the
“Premio Lo Nuestro a la Música
Latina” Latin music awards.
Beating all other more
established awards shows such as
the Academy Awards, the Golden
Globes, and both the Billboard and
Latin Billboard Music Awards,
“Premios Juventud” and its fastpaced, hip and unconventional
style scored an impressive 23.5
rating
among
Hispanic

4.8 million viewers. Posting a 12.8
rating among young Hispanic
viewers age 12 - 34, the broadcast
also attracted nearly three times
the Hispanic audience of the 2005
MTV Video Music Awards.
Among teens, its 9.6 rating
represents a +50% increase over
last year’s telecast.
The Southern Colorado Theatre
Company in collaboration with
CSU-Pueblo are proud to bring
back to the Pueblo stage for a

last year’s hit musical revue, Blues
In The Night.
The universal language of the
blues wails out full and strong in
this dynamite “dramatic revue’
that tells of the sweet, sexy and
sorrowful experiences three
women have with the lying,
cheating snake of a man who does
them wrong.
The Night reunites the powerhouse

Be car care aware
Soaring fuel prices have
motorists scrambling to find ways
to save money by using less gas.
Sure, you can simply stop driving
as much, but for many consumers,
that’s not an option. But there are
two ways all of us can stretch our
precious gasoline dollars.
One strategy is to change how
we drive, and the other is to
perform simple and inexpensive
vehicle maintenance. Taking these
steps will not only save gas money,
but will improve a vehicle’s safety
and dependability.
The Car Care Council offers
these gas-savings maintenance
and driving tips:
• Check your vehicle gas cap.
About 17 percent of the vehicles
on the roads have gas caps that are
either damaged, loose or are
missing altogether, causing 147
million gallons of gas to vaporize
every year.
• When tires aren’t inflated
properly, it’s like driving with the
parking brake on, and can cost a
mile or two per gallon.
• A vehicle can have either four,
six or eight spark plugs, which fire
as many as three million times
each 1,000 miles, resulting in a lot
of heat, electrical and chemical
erosion. A dirty spark plug causes
misfiring, which wastes fuel.
Spark plugs need to be replaced
regularly.
• An air filter that is clogged with
dirt, dust and bugs chokes off the
air and creates a “rich” mixture –
too much gas being burned for the
amount of air, which wastes gas
and causes the engine to lose
power. Replacing a clogged air
filter can improve gas mileage by
as much as 10 percent, saving
about 15 cents on a gallon.
• Aggressive driving can lower gas
mileage by as much as 22 percent
on the highway and five percent
on city streets, which results in
seven to 49 cents per gallon.
• Sitting idle gets zero miles per
gallon. Letting the vehicle warm
up for one to two minutes is
sufficient.
• Gas mileage decreases rapidly
at speeds above 60 mph. Each
mph driven over 60 results in an
additional 10 cents per gallon. To
maintain a constant speed on the
highway, cruise control is
recommended. The Car Council
is the source of information for the
“Be Car Care Aware” campaign,
educating consumers about the
benefits of regular vehicle
maintenance and repair. For more

AAA Colorado recommends a “Don’t Leave Home Without It”
winter driving kit
AAA Colorado suggests the
following items to carry in your
car during the winter driving
season:
• Flashlight with extra batteries
• Flares or reflective triangles
• Jumper cables
• Cell phone/ with extra batteries
• First Aid kit
• Rags or paper towels
• Rolls of quarters, dimes and
nickels
• Gallon jug of water
• Non-perishable food items
• Blanket and extra set of clothes
• Window washer solvent
• Non-clumping kitty litter
• Ice-scraper, snow brush and
snow shovel
• Tire Chains
Charge!! - Cold weather is hard
on batteries. At zero degrees, a
car’s battery loses about 60 percent
of its strength. At a comparatively
mild 32 degrees, a battery is 35
percent weaker. A load test
performed by a qualified
technician will help determine
whether a car’s battery is strong
enough for winter starts.
Get a Grip - Make sure your car is
equipped with tires that are
properly inflated and have enough
tread to be able to handle your
region’s winter weather. For most
motorists, all-season tires are
adequate. In more northern or
mountainous regions, switching to
snow tires may be necessary.
See and Be Seen - Driving with a
snow-covered
windshield,
windows, side-view mirrors or
lights invites a crash. Clear
windows, mirrors and lights with
an ice scrapper, brush or spray deicer. Make certain windshield
wipers and defrosters are in good
working order and that windshield
washer fluid reservoirs are filled
with no-freeze windshield washer
fluid.
Slippery When Wet - At or just
about 32 degrees, a thin layer of
water can cover the ice, causing
extremely slippery conditions.
The distance needed to stop on ice
at 32 degrees is twice as long as at
zero degrees.
Keep Your Engine Cool - Mix
cooling system antifreeze with an
equal portion of water for
maximum protection. Have a
repair facility check the level of
protection with a hydrometer.
Key Solution - Frozen door locks
can be overcome by carefully
heating the end of a key with a
match or lighter. A squirt of deicer spray is another quick method.
Air It Out - Don’t start your car in
a closed garage or idle your engine
for long periods with the windows
closed. Carbon monoxide, present
in exhaust fumes, is almost
impossible to detect and can be
fatal when breathed in a confined
area.
Finish Up - Road salt, slush and
grime are especially hard on a car’s
finish. To help prevent rust and
paint damage, keep cars washed
and waxed. A full- or self-service
car wash makes the job easier
when temperatures are low.
AAA Colorado recommends
using the following safe winter
driving tips especially for light
trucks, vans and SUV’s:
• Know whether your vehicle is
equipped with ABS brakes, and
learn how to use your brakes
properly, especially in slippery
driving conditions.
• Practice driving in an empty
parking lot or other open space to
get used to the brakes, steering and
overall handling.
• Review your owner’s manual
regarding handling characteristics
and four-wheel drive operation
and performance.
• Check the tire tread depth and
make sure air pressure meets
recommended PSI.
• Remove snow and ice off your
vehicle, particularly your windows
and front and back lights, before
driving.
• Drive slower during winter
storms when visibility is reduced.
• Guard against all-wheel-drive
overconfidence. Remember, your
vehicle’s owners manual is your
best guide for understanding the
features available in your vehicle
such as tire pressure and size, load
limits, etc.

The mind-body connection: complexity in weight loss
You cant eat your way into
healthy thinking, but you can
probably think your way into
healthy eating, which in turn,
actually could make your thinking
healthier; if only you could figure
out where to start.
There was a time when people
regarded the physical body as a
system quite separate and distinct
from the mental realm. The
conventional wisdom of cultures
throughout the world typically
acknowledge and honor a
connection
between the mind
and body, but in
the realm of

Pioneering scientists say that
other systems in the body are also
connected in this way, together
creating a virtual telephone
network of transmitters and
receptors, and that’s changing the
way we look at how our thinking
and habits influence disease,
including obesity.
Diseases that used to be studied
just within their own body system
are
looked
at
more
comprehensively now. Diabetes
was traditionally considered to be
a disease of the endocrine system.
But its now also understood as an
autoimmune disorder, an immune
system attacking itself, that
typically results from specific
lifestyle choices.
Is it any wonder then that the
treatment of obesity is so
complex? There are powerful
forces at play in a problem that
used to be reduced to a simple
Formula: To much in, not enough
out. With emotional influences on
behavioral choices resulting in
physical changes that cause
physiological adaptations, how
could anyone think, "It's a simple
problem?"
That doesn’t mean you have to
become
a
psychoneuroimmunologist in
order to drop a few pounds. But if
you have struggled futility with a
excess weight and the health
problems associated with it, you
can take some real encouragement
from the advancing scientific
understanding of the challenges
you live with.
Because if physical activity can
change your brain chemistry,
affecting how you think and feel,
and thoughts can affect your
body’s responses, then there’s real
hope that you can train your body
to train your mind, and vice versa.
The whole nine yards
Its all one wonderful machine,
and comprehensive bariatric
weight-loss treatment takes that
into account. Even the most
nutritionally sound dietary plan
cannot be effective in producing
lasting weight loss if its not
coordinated with developing new
thinking and habits. Obvious,
right?
Yet anyone who’s ever dieted
knows that’s easier said than done.
But what if you could reprogram
your neural pathways so that your
body automatically supported your
new thinking, and your thinking
automatically defaulted to
healthier dietary choices?
And what if that could happen
without all the constant emotional
struggle? What if you could just
lose your taste for the sweets you
crave today? What if exercise was
your automatic answer to sadness,
instead of chocolate?
It can be done, but its no simple
matter of developing a menu.
That’s why bariatric specialists
have to approach obesity from all
fronts.
We work with patients to
discover their motivations and
values. We can consider the
chemical imbalances that may be
present and how best to address
them, whether with activity or
medicine or diet or a combination
thereof.
We can explore the importance
of defining and refining goals, of
learning self-nurturing habits and
healthy new routines, of
cultivating an attitude that
maximizes the mind-body
connection to its best effect.
People are so surprised when
they learn they can control
cravings, eat better and enjoy
exercise, but for most of us these
things have to be learned.
At some point, we learned that
eating chocolate can alleviate the
blues. There are solid chemical
reasons for how it does that, and
its a lesson that sticks in our bodies
as well as our minds. Although
tough to overcome, we can teach
our bodies new lessons.
As science and medicine get
better at deciphering the ways our
minds and bodies work together,
bariatric treatment develops better
and better strategies for teaching
those lessons. And when you see
that, you almost can’t help but feel,
and think, and do, better.
Through Thick & Thin
If you maximize the potential of
the mind-body connection, you’ve
got a powerful tool working in
your favor. If you dismiss or
ignore it, you’re handicapped
before you even start.

getting a grip on the physiology
underlying
the
profound
connection between our minds and
our bodies, and coming up with
ways to help us not only
understand it, but use it effectively
to improve our health and habits,
including the habits that have led
to the national obesity crisis.
Mind-Body Interplay
Disease and stress research in
particular have yielded vast
evidence of the inter-related nature
of our minds and bodies, showing
how people who endure highpressure lifestyles can experience
both acute and chronic health
problems because of it.
But our daily lives are full of
simpler examples of the mindbody connection, and its not
always a problem: consider how
certain words can make you blush;
a sad scene in a movie or song can
bring you to tears; a phone call or
email from a special someone can
make your heart go pit-a-pat. Your
thoughts are affecting your body
chemistry and creating distinct
physical responses.
And obviously, it works the other
way, too, when what your body
experiences produces responses in
the brain. A particular smell can
stimulate a nostalgic memory.
Tickling and rough-housing a
grumpy child will often cheer him
right up. These are such familiar
examples that its hard to imagine
anyone ever disputed the
connection.
But what science has been able
to prove in the last couple decades
is just why, neurologically, that
tickling works to cheer the child.
Its not merely that you’ve
distracted him from whatever got
his goat. In truth, both laughter
and physical exercise cause the
release of mood-elevating
chemicals in the brain. Laughter
really is the best medicine, and
you’ve just given him a double
dose.
On the other hand, research has
proven that a stimulus such as
anxiety, a feeling, can trigger the
release of nerve-fiber chemicals,
which then tell the immune system
what to do to help protect the body
in a time of emotional stress.
No body (part) is an island

CSHP offers discount mammogram
In recognition of National Breast
Cancer Awareness Month,
Colorado Springs Health Partners,
PC, is repeating its low-cost
mammogram program again this
year.
Women without full insurance
benefits may receive a routine
mammogram screening for only
$65. “It is vitally important that
women receive mammograms for
early cancer detection,” states
Michael Fox, MD, radiologist with
CSHP. Annually, CSHP performs
approximately
8,000
mammograms. “This is the fourth
year CSHP is offering the low-cost
program,” adds Fox.
Breast cancer remains the
leading cause of death for women
between the ages of 35 and 54
according to the American Cancer
Society. “We recommend a
mammogram every one to two
years for women ages 40 - 49 and
every year for women between 50
- 70, depending upon risk factors,”
adds CSHP radiologist Pio Hocate,
MD.
Women interested in the
program may contact CSHP

bills,” said Randy Chitty, chairman
of the Propane Education &
Research Council’s (PERC)
Homeowner Subcommittee. “A
few small changes before and
during the cold weather season
really can make a big difference.”
Energy Saving Tips Consumers
Should Pursue Now:
1. Inspect and tune-up your
residential heating system
regularly. A heating system that
runs well is more efficient and will
save you money.
2. Invest in a furnace thermostat
timer that lowers your home’s
temperature when you are not at
home. You can cut annual heating
bills by as much as 10 percent per
year by turning your thermostat
back 10-15 percent for eight hours
per day.
3. Protect against drafts by
caulking and weather-stripping
around windows, doors and other
openings such as ducts, fans and
vents.
4. Install flow-restricting
showerheads. You can reduce hot
water usage by up to 50 percent
without affecting shower pressure.
5. Consider switching to a propane
water heater. Over time, propane
water heaters can cost up to onethird less to operate and they
recover hot water twice as quickly
as electric water heaters.
6. Discuss payment plan options
with your propane retailer. Many
retailers have budget payment
plans that will help you spread
your projected annual cost of
propane over many months,
lowering the costs of seasonally
higher bills.
Energy Saving Tips Consumers
Should Follow Throughout the
Cold Weather Season:
7. Change your furnace filter
monthly. Clean filters will increase
efficiency. If on a monthly
payment plan, use receipt of your
monthly propane bill as a
reminder.
8. Run washing machines, clothes
dryers and dishwashers with a full
load.
9. Turn down your water heater
from the standard 120 degrees to
115 degrees. You could save more
than 10 percent on your water
heating bill.
10. Increase your water heater’s
efficiency by draining it every six
months to remove mineral
deposits and sediment.

Dear Editor,
There have probably been more words written about Referenda
C&D than any other ballot issue in recent history - so many that
most people seem to be totally confused, turned off and angry.
While the pro side tries to make it understandable with too much
verbage, the opponents call it a tax increase and a license to spend.
Here are a few simple points.
1. Referendum C is not a tax increase. There is no change in tax
rate. It allows the state to keep the money it raises from the present
tax rate for five years only. At that time there will be a tax decrease.
2. When opponents talk about increases in state spending since
1999, they neglect to mention our net gain in population of 180,000
or the net increase in inflation of 9.66%.
3. The state of Colorado ranks 7th highest in national income and
3rd lowest in tax burden.
4. Colorado ranks 48th in per capita investment of tax dollars for
higher education. If no changes are made to TABOR there will
be no public funding of higher education by 2010. This forces
many students to leave the state to learn and work elsewhere
limiting the state’s ability to create a highly educated proficient
work force to guide our economic future.
5. We have significant problems with infrastructure including of
roads and bridges. In spite of huge recent highway improvement
projects, we have even more to do to relieve growing congestion.
6. Our health and safety net support systems are tapped to the
limit due to significant decreases in funding from all governmental
entities. The private sector can only take up part of the slack and
Colorado ranks 43rd in charitable giving.
I am a lifelong Republican who believes that government should
be accountable, efficient and lean. I also believe that the private
sector plays a vital role in building a strong community. But I
also believe each of us, in our individual lives and for the greater
good of the many, has a responsibility to make careful investments
in our state that will enable it to grow in healthy ways for the
future of our children and grandchildren. These investments
should include both private giving and carefully spent public funds.
I urge people to vote yes on C and D.

Letter to the Editor
Letter To The Editor,
Budget issues are not interesting.
The problem with Referenda C & D is they are complicated. Most
of us do not want to learn about public financing until it changes
our family’s quality of life.
The truth and some good analysis about C & D are finally
available. As the Gazette has stated, this is not a permanent fix.
They did an excellent job of analyzing this difficult subject. After
weighing the facts, they confirmed we need this budget correction
now. C & D do not change TABOR.
We want what’s best for our community, state and nation. While
I am proud to be a Republican, sometimes we fall into a trap and
don’t do what is best.
This budget problem is no surprise; our legislators didn’t solve
it. Now some are against this much better than nothing temporary
solution. When voters pass issues that conflict with each other,
like Amendment 23, TABOR and Gallagher, the unintended results
must be corrected. When C & D passes, hopefully our legislators
will determine the necessary permanent fix.
Legislators from both sides of the aisle are working hard to pass
C & D because they believe, like me, it’s the right thing for us to
do. Please vote YES on C & D.

This year’s Colorado Springs Veterans’ Day Parade is
Saturday, November 5, 2005 at 9:30 a.m., downtown
We are looking for
INDIVIDUAL veterans to
participate in this year’s Parade.
These are veterans that are not part
of a formal, organized group like
the American Legion or the VFW.
This is a unique feature of our
City’s Veterans’ Day Parade: we
include individual veterans in
addition to our many wonderful
veterans’ groups.
Individual veterans need to sign
up by calling the Parade Office at
(719) 282-3862 no later than
Saturday, October 22.
We will then have them meet at
the Acacia Park Hotel the morning
of the Parade where we will
divided them into groups
depending on when they served
(i.e., World War II, Korea,
Vietnam) and load them into
National Guard Vehicles
accordingly.
In the past, we’ve had enough
individual veterans to fill 10 large
military vehicles - veterans from
historic military events like the
Normandy Invasion and the Battle
of the Bulge, but over the past few
years, many of our regular
participants have moved to
warmer climates, gone into
nursing homes, or have passed
away.
From the feedback we’ve
received, all the individual
veterans that have participated
have had a wonderful time riding
in the Parade. Please don’t hesitate
to call if you’d like further
information.
