Along with establishing more
Latino services, Aponte has
increased the Spanish language
circulation in the district’s libraries
by 6 percent.
Although Aponte regrets that he
will miss the ribbon cutting of the
new Briargate and Fountain
José Aponte, the Executive Director
Aponte, whose two sons reside
in California, will be leave on
March 25. He sees the transition
as a personal decision motivated
by a great professional
opportunity.
Aponte assumed the directorship
in Colorado Springs in January
2003. He leaves behind an awardwinning district, ranked eighth in
the United States. The district
includes 11 libraries and two
bookmobiles. In California,
Aponte will oversee 32 libraries
and two bookmobiles.
He is the first Hispanic to serve
Branch Libraries, he looks forward
to being closer to his family. “We
have found the distance from our
sons to be too great to navigate at
this time,” he commented.
Aponte will stay connected to the
Pikes Peak community, continuing
to monitor the recently developed
5-year Strategic Plan until a new
director is found.
“If I had one wish for the
community of Colorado Springs it
is that they have success recruiting
a library director of my skills of
better. They deserve nothing less,”
he said.
El distrito dos de escuelas mejorá
su estado de acreditación
Los oficiales de Harrison distrito
dos de escuelas y el Departamento
de Educación de Colorado (CDE)
tuvieron una rueda de prensa para
anunciar el progreso hacia
restablecer el distrito a un estado
de acreditación completa.
“El propósito de la guardia del
estado de acreditación es para
identificar las preocupaciones y
ayudar a un distrito en dirigirlos,”
dijo el comisario ayudante Dr.
Gary Sibigtroth, hablando del
parte del CDE.
En sus comentarios, oficiales
locales y del estado enfatizan la
importancia vital de dirigir la
diferencia de éxito que separa
niños de pobreza y de color que
los de más. Mientras alabar el
progreso actual, ellos reconocen
cuanto más hace falta hacer.

New look for visitors’ bureau
The Colorado Springs
Convention and Visitors Bureau
unveiled its new advertising
campaign for 2005, as well as a
new website and brand identity
new branding direction for
Colorado Springs’
official destination
m a r k e t i n g
organization.
“People are seeking
a
memorable
experience when
they travel; they
want
to
do
s o m e t h i n g
memorable while
they’re here,” said
Terry Sullivan, the Bureau’s
President and C.E.O. “We have
built a web site around
experiencing Colorado Springs
and our advertising will promote
and reflect that.” Colorado
Springs’ new branding includes a
name change to “Experience
Colorado Springs” with a new
logo,
and
the
website
www.ExperienceColoradoSprings.com
and design have been
changed
to
coordinate. The new
advertising campaign
includes messages
directing the reader
to the website.
In keeping with
changing
travel
trends, much of the
tourism industry is
responding to meet
these new needs. The International
Association of Convention and
Visitors Bureaus is helping rebrand Convention and Visitors
Bureaus around the world. They
are working with their members
to encourage strategies that
make their messages relevant to
the traveling public. For
example, many in the industry
are beginning to move away
from the nomenclature
“Convention and Visitors
Bureau” and move toward
names that include a call-toaction and a friendly pitch to
visit the destination.
The creative development and
strategic planning for the new
direction for the CVB was
coordinated by Elizabeth
Youngquist, Director of Public
Relations and Marketing for the
Bureau, in cooperation with
PRACO, a Colorado Springs
advertising and public relations
agency, specializing in tourism
marketing.
A good friend remembered
Over 600 members of the Southern Colorado community in
Trinidad and a few outsiders gathered at the Faith Christian
Fellowship Church, to memorialize Chico Martinez. Chico
tragically passed away far too early at the age of 55.
His brother Bill served as master of ceremonies. I could not
forget the last time I saw Bill, which was when he conducted
a memorial service for another family member. Not that long ago I witnessed Bill, at that time
Father Bill, conduct his father’s, Col. Tom Martinez’s funeral mass. So professional was he at
that profound moment, I knew he would be prepared to handle his brother’s service. He did so
masterfully.
Chico was remembered by the many people he helped in the Trinidad area who spoke of his
love of his culture, horses and music. In his honor musicians including the Coca Family from
neighboring Aguilar, Freddie Jacques from
Alamosa, Ernestine Romero of New Mexico
and Cheryl Martinez performed. All paid their
respects to a fellow troubadour.
We were told of Chico’s favorite song, not a
Spanish song, not country song, his favorite
song. As we listened to “It’s a Wonderful
Life,” it summed up his love of life, his respect
for family and love of everyone he met. For
Chico, there were no strangers.
We send our condolences to his mother, his
wife, his siblings and his many children and
grand children.

COMMUNITY NEWS
Healing through reformative justice
Foster Parents
Needed!
by Wayne Young
The Colorado Springs
Restorative Justice Action Group
in conjunction with the
Cynergetics Institute and the
District Attorney’s Office of the
4th Judicial District held a
community forum in Colorado
Springs on Friday, March 25
entitled Putting the Pieces
Together.
Over 150 people attended the
morning gathering to discuss
restorative justice, a criminal
justice system that places the
victim and the community at the
center of the process. Facilitated
by Jack Ruszczyk, Chief Probation
Officer for the 4th Judicial District,
the participants included members
of faith groups, businesses, the
judiciary, mental health and the
public.
In the opening address, former
Colorado Springs mayor Mary
Lou Makepeace outlined the key
principles of restorative justice.
“Restorative justice pays attention
to the needs of victims who are left
out, lack understanding and
receive no healing or restitution,”
she said.
The forum also examined how
traditional forms of punishment do
not encourage the offender to take
responsibility for his or her
actions.
“Prison is full of people who do
not think they are responsible,”
said Pat Robinson, mother of Kay
Robinson who was murdered in
1979. “Every murderer is going to
get out, is going to be somebody’s
neighbor and I want them to be the
best they can be.”
Mark Carey, President-Elect
of the American Probation and
Parole Association (APPA) gave
the address.
Another failing of the current
justice system is that it does not
adequately prepare offenders to
reintegrate, according to Carey.
“The traditional punitive
punishment system does not work
in all cases,” he explained. “Crime
is a wound, justice should be about
healing. Punishment by itself
doesn’t restore.”
John Newsome, District Attorney
for the 4th Judicial District that
covers El Paso and Teller
Counties, in the closing address
echoed the need for alternatives.
“Something’s not working,” said
Newsome. He noted that of the
43,000 county court cases and
6,000 felonies that the DA office
prosecutes annually, the majority
of offenders are repeat
“customers.”
Carey acknowledged that while
some criminals are too dangerous
Keynote speaker Mark Carey,
President-Elect of the American
Probation and Parole Association
(APPA), suggested that the
number of repeat offenders is a
primary indicator that the current
system can be improved.
“67 percent of offenders released
from prisons are re-arrested. That
is two out of every three. 40
percent of the prison population
are revocations and the community
by and large does not feel any
safer,” he said.
Carey argued that a restorative
system emphasizes accountability
and would reduce rates of reoffending. He defined a restorative
justice system as one that treats
crime as an injury against another
party. The repair of that injury is
the primary obligation of the
offender through a process that
involves three parties: the victim,
the offender and the local
community. The victim is central
in deciding how the harm should John Newsome, District Attorney
for the 4th Judicial District
be repaired.
Salvation Army gets new leadership
The Salvation Army has
appointed Majors Donald and
Ronda Gilger as El Paso County
Coordinator and Associate
Coordinator. They will oversee all
Salvation Army work in Colorado
Springs and El Paso County. They
replace Majors Joe and Eileen
Hoogstad who retired in January.
Majors Don and Ronda Gilger
were most recently stationed at
Intermountain
Divisional
Headquarters in Denver where he
was the Divisional Secretary for
Program and she was Secretary for
Women’s Ministries. They have
been Salvation Army Officers for
21 years. Their first appointment
happened to be in Colorado
Springs, and they are glad to be
back.
“I requested to come to Colorado
Springs,” said Major Don Gilger.
“The [Salvation] Army is so
vibrant and growing here,
something I wanted to be a part of.
It’s the perfect community and
very supportive of The Army’s
work. And it’s such a beautiful
area!”
Since their first stay in Colorado
Springs, the couple has served in
and need special attention, they
remain the minority. The majority
of offenders, he said, need
productive forms of punishment to
help repair the damage they
inflicted and to develop skills that
will help them reintegrate into
society when released.
“Punishment needs to be
productive. Retribution should
answer: Does it increase learning,
does it involve those with a stake,
is it dignified and does it
strengthen community,” Carey
explained. Examples suggested
include working with Habitat for
Humanity, repairing low-income
homes, training dogs for the blind
and graffiti removal.

about restorative justice should

Remesas de migrantes
han financiado avances
democráticos
Felipe Aguirre, coordinador de
la organización ProVoto, con sede
en California, Estados Unidos,
consideró que con el sufragio de
mexicanos en el extranjero se daría
continuidad a los avances
democráticos registrados en el
país, los cuales, subrayó,
prácticamente
han
sido
financiados desde el exterior con
las remesas de los migrantes.
Al señalar que habrá senadores
como Diego Fernández de
Cevallos que analizarán el tema
“con lupa”, indicó a La Jornada
que sería muy importante que se
aprobara la medida, porque “daría
unidad nacional a los mexicanos
que radican en Estados Unidos,
país donde padecemos un
apartheid político”.
ProVoto es una agrupación de
alrededor de 50 mil mexicanos
residentes en California, que desde
la década pasada promueve el
derecho constitucional de votar y
ser votado. Aguirre comentó que
dicho proyecto se ha venido
esbozando desde la década de los
90, cuando el entonces gobernador
de California, Pete Wilson,
encabezó campañas contra los
migrantes, principalmente los sin
documentos, como la iniciativa
187.
Recordó que en 1999 se presentó
en la Cámara de Diputados un
proyecto similar que fue aprobado
por una diferencia mínima de
votos, pero que en el Senado de la
República la “mataron” los
legisladores Eduardo Andrade y
Dionisio Pérez Jácome, con los
mismos argumentos que ahora
esgrimen quienes se oponen a la
propuesta: el costo y la soberanía.
El coordinador de la
organización ProVoto refirió que
el proyecto actual, aprobado en la
Cámara de Diputados, es producto
del trabajo de tres legisladoras: la
priísta Laura Martínez, la panista
Ruth Hernández y la perredista
Ileana García.
“Se pusieron de acuerdo
integrantes de los tres partidos para
promover las modificaciones, a
partir de que hace un año
coincidimos en una reunión en
Arizona con motivo de la
militarización de la frontera y las
agresiones de los ‘cazadores’
contra los migrantes”, explicó.
“El proyecto presentado, donde
se incluye votar para Presidente en
2006, no está completo, porque
falta la posibilidad de participar
como candidatos y elegir también
a nuestros propios diputados y
senadores”, indicó.
Luego de establecer que entre
los votos en contra se encuentra el
de un diputado sobrino del ex
gobernador oaxaqueño José
Murat, Felipe Aguirre previó que
será difícil que la Cámara de
Senadores rechace la iniciativa por
la cantidad de votos que la
respaldaron, aunque habrá
legisladores, como Fernández de
Cevallos, que seguramente le
pondrá objeciones.
Premio Lo Nuestro 2005, el especial más
visto en español
Con 6.3 millones de
televidentes en sus casas y un
público de más de 12,000 fanáticos
gritando en el estadio American
Airlines Arena, totalmente lleno,
la entrega del “Premio Lo Nuestro
a la Música Latina 2005” de
Univision compitió directamente
con la mejor programación de
estreno en horario estelar de las
cadenas televisivas en inglés,
transmitida para los “sweeps” de
febrero.
El especial de tres horas de
duración de Univision, “Premio
Lo Nuestro”, captó un total mayor
de televidentes entre 18 y 34 años
de edad (hispanos o no-hispanos)
que ABC y FOX, y un total mayor
de televidentes entre 18 y 49 años
que FOX.
Ray Rodríguez, Presidente y
Director Ejecutivo de Operaciones
de Univision Communications,
declaró: “Nos causa una gran
satisfacción que Univision haya
captado más televidentes que
algunas de las Cuatro Grandes
cadenas en inglés, pero éste ya no
es un caso aislado. De hecho,
desde el inicio de la temporada,
por casi 100 noches en horario
estelar, Univision ha clasificado
entre las 4 primeras cadenas del
país entre todos los adultos de 18
a 34 años de edad.
Con
programación fantástica como
Premio Lo Nuestro y nuestras
novelas de horario estelar,
Univision está comenzando a
comprobar que es competencia
feroz para las Cuatro Grandes
cadenas en inglés. Esta tendencia
nos entusiasma mucho”.
La decimoséptima entrega
anual del “Premio Lo Nuestro a La
Música Latina” fue transmitida en
vivo por la cadena Univision el
jueves 24 de febrero, 2005, 8:00 11:00 pm hora Este (7 - 10 pm
Centro/ Montaña).
“Premio Lo Nuestro 2005” fue
el especial más visto en la historia
de la televisión en español; atrajo
por encima de un millón de
televidentes más que el
espectáculo del año pasado.
“Premio Lo Nuestro” captó
45% más Adultos Hispanos 18-49
y 32% más Televidentes Hispanos
2+ que el Superbowl. Los ratings
de “Premio Lo Nuestro” fueron
más altos que los ratings
combinados de los premios
Grammy, Golden Globes,
American Music Awards,
Grammy Latinos y Latin Billboard
Awards entre Adultos Hispanos
18-49.
NASCAR llega a México
Los preparativos para la tercera ronda puntuable de la Serie NASCAR
Busch en el Autódromo Hnos, Rodríguez los próximos 5 y 6 de marzo,
la Telcel Motorota 200 presentada por Banamex, avanzan sin
contratiempos. “La semana entrante iniciamos el montaje de la pista,
lo que incluye la preparación de las suites, el centro de medios, la torre
de control, etc.” comentó Federico Alamán, director del evento y agregó
“el operativo para cruzar la frontera con el contingente de casi 100
traileres de NASCAR está listo, será muy impresionante ver como
llegan a la Ciudad de México”.
Sobre la participación de los volantes mexicanos señaló “Vamos a
tener a 10 pilotos nacionales en la carrera, todos ellos son de primera
calidad, les tenemos mucha confianza de que hagan un buen papel en
la competencia, sabemos que será una experiencia nueva para ellos y
una muy emocionante para el público, en especial cuando tomen la
bandera verde los 43 autos que califiquen”.

operating this program on a zerosubsidy rate, ensuring long-term
stability of the program without
requiring a taxpayer subsidy. Last
year the SBA backed a record
number of loans to women,
minorities and veterans. This year,
we project another record for the
program with up to $16 billion in
loan guarantees available to small
businesses at no cost to the
American public.
In Colorado, the SBA has
approved 48 percent (486 vs. 720)
more 7(a) loans through early
February 2005 than in the same
period a year ago.
Loans under our 504 program,
used mainly for the purchase of
real estate and capital equipment,
are up 16 percent in FY05 over the
same period in FY04. Loans to
African Americans and women
under 7(a) and 504 are up 57
percent and 51 percent
respectively. Loans to Hispanics
are up 16 percent and to AsianAmericans, loans are up 20
percent. We estimate that in the
first three months of the current
fiscal year, SBA programs
facilitated the creation or retention
of 168,000 jobs.
The numbers continue to
astound some. But they shouldn’t.
Recognizing that small businesses
are critical to growing our
economy and creating new jobs,
President Bush’s agenda creates an
environment for small businesses
to flourish. His agenda combines
not only government actions and
programs, but the effective
implementation of tax and
regulatory policies.
Let’ s take tax reform. In 2004,
25 million small-business owners
received tax relief totaling about
$75 billion dollars, an average of
$3,000 each. The President
reduced marginal income rates
across the board, benefiting more
than 90 percent of small businesses
that pay taxes at the individual
income tax rates. He raised the
amount that small businesses can
expense for new capital
investments from $25,000 to
$100,000, reducing their cost of
purchasing new equipment and
other investments. And the
President has made tax relief
permanence a top priority to help
small businesses and their
employees keep more of what they
earn.
To reduce the cost of doing
business in America, the President
is working to ensure that small
business owners and workers have
access to high-quality health care
and are protected from frivolous
lawsuits. Just last Friday, the
President signed legislation
curbing abusive class-action
lawsuits. On the regulatory front,
actions taken by the President’s
administration have saved
American small businesses more
than $30 billion since 2001 by
reducing the complex maze of
federal regulation and paperwork.
On the international scene, the
President
has
expanded
opportunities across the globe for
American small businesses by
completing free-trade agreements
with 11 countries. Here at home,
the Bush Administration is
working to ensure that small
businesses can compete fairly for
their share of federal government
dollars. And they’ve been
successful. In FY 2003, small
businesses received $65.5 billion
of prime federal contract dollars,
exceeding the 23 percent
government wide goal. Earlier this
month small businesses received
more great news when the
Administration announced an
additional $15 billion in
government
contracting
opportunities for small business.
Small businesses are vital to
American prosperity and,
thankfully, they are flourishing. In
part it’s because the President has
taken steps to reduce taxes,
encourage investment, remove
obstacles to growth and provide
opportunity. And in part because
American entrepreneurs are
innovative, resilient, tenacious and
determined to achieve the
American dream.
Hector V. Barreto was a small
business owner and is now the 21st
Administrator of the Small
Business Administration.

DEPORTES
Nuggets acquire Najera, Flores, first-round pick from warriors
The Denver Nuggets have
acquired F Eduardo Najera, G Luis
Flores and a future first-round
draft pick from the Golden State
Warriors in exchange for F Rodney
White and F Nikoloz Tskitishvili,
team General Manager Kiki
Vandeweghe announced.
“This move helps us in many
ways,” said Vandeweghe. “I’ve
known Eduardo from my time
with the Mavericks and I know
what a tireless worker he is.
He brings energy every single
day. Luis is an intriguing young
player who adds depth to our
backcourt, and we were also able
to add another first-round draft
pick. We want to thank Rodney
and Skita for all they’ve given us
the last few years and wish them
the best of luck in the future.”
Najera, 6-8, 240, has appeared
in 42 games this season, averaging
4.2 ppg and 2.8 rpg. Originally the
38th overall pick of the 2000 NBA
Draft by the Houston Rockets, he
played his first four seasons (200004) with the Dallas Mavericks.
He has played in 250 career
games, averaging 4.8 ppg and 3.7
rpg. He has also appeared in 39
career playoff games, posting
averages of 4.8 ppg and 3.1 rpg.
Flores, 6-2, 200, has played in
15 games this season, averaging
2.1 ppg. The rookie scored a
season-high eight points against
the Nuggets on Feb. 5 and has shot
.481 (13-27) from the field on the
year. He was selected by the
Houston Rockets with the 55th
overall pick in the 2004 NBA
Draft and was traded to Dallas on
draft night. The Mavericks then
traded him to Golden State on Aug.

NASCAR comes to Mexico
Preparation for March 5-6
Telcel-Motorola 200 presented by
Banamex is under way, which is
first points-race held outside the
United States for the NASCAR
Busch Series. The race will take
place on the 2.518-mile course at
Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez,
in México City.
“Next week, we will start to set
the track, including the preparation
for the suites, Media Center,
Control Tower, etc.” said Federico
Alamán, Event Director. “The
logistics to cross the border with
almost 100 NASCAR transporters
is ready and it will be very
impressive to watch them when
they get Mexico City.”
“We are going to have ten local
drivers in the NASCAR race, all
of them are first class, we think
that they are going to do well in
the event, we know that it will be
a new experience for them and a
thrilling experience for the fans,
mainly when the 43-car field takes
the green flag,” Alamán said.
The race will be held at the
Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez
a 2.786-mile road course located
approximately 15 minutes from
the center of Mexico City. The
original track was built in 1963 for
Formula One events. The Formula
One circuit raced at the facility
from 1963 to 1970 and then
returned to race there from 1986
through 1992.
Racing has a rich tradition in
Mexico. CART first raced at the
facility in 2002. The three-day
attendance for the 2003 CART
event was 402,413, with a crowd
of 221,011 on race day.
In June 1950, NASCAR Founder
Bill France Sr. teamed with Curtis
Turner to drive in the first Mexican
Road Race. The 2,178-mile race
was run from El Paso, Texas,
across Mexico to Guatemala.

a local male strip show – whose
dancers venture down to their Gstrings – is a hit with the local
women, the cash-strapped factory
workers figure they can cash in big
time if they go The Full Monty.
Four-time Tony Award winning
writer Terrence McNally adapted
the screen hit for the stage and
added his own brand of American
comedy to the story.
“The show is about friendship,
about being a parent,” said
McNally. “It’s also about an image
obsessed society that says you
have to look like Brad Pitt. This
show says quite the opposite. It
celebrates everybody for exactly
who they are.” To help the story
feel closer to home, McNally
moved it to Buffalo, NY from
Sheffield, England, where the
original movie took place.
Composer and lyricist David
Yazbek, winner of the 2001 Drama
Desk Award for his music,
explains: “The Full Monty is a
sports story. It’s not about
stripping. It’s a bunch of guys who
get together and form a team.
There are ups and downs, and, in
the end, they win.”

April is national car care month
(NUC) - The Car Care Council
is dedicating an entire month to
reminding drivers of the
importance of being “car care
aware.” National Car Care Month,
a nationwide effort to focus
motorists’ attention on the
essentials of vehicle care and
maintenance, will take place in
April.
During National Car Care
Month, many repair facilities and
auto parts stores join local
businesses, civic groups, radio
stations and others to sponsor free
vehicle checkups. The events are
held in parking lots at shopping
malls, schools, businesses and
other highly visible locations.
“The industry has embraced
April as an ideal time of year to
conduct National Car Care Month
activities,” said Rich White,
executive director of the Car Care
Council. “In April 2005, we plan
on
conducting
more
comprehensive vehicle checkup
events and promotions that will
provide consumers with more
information about preventive
vehicle maintenance.”
Nationwide results from last
year’s checkups underscore the
continuing need for vehicle
maintenance education. The
results showed that 87 percent of
all vehicles needed repair or

maintenance; 34 percent had low
or dirty engine oil; 27 percent had
inadequate cooling protection; 25
percent needed new belts; 24
percent had dirty air filters; and 26
percent had low or contaminated
brake fluid.
The Car Care Council is the
source of information for the “Be
Car Care Aware” campaign,
educating consumers about the
benefits of regular vehicle care,
maintenance and repair.

Satellite TV keeps truckers trucking
(NUC) -For the past five years,
truck drivers Robert and Peggy
Daniels have used KVH
Industries’ TracVision antennae —
which can pick up more than 300
channels of live DirecTV
programming — to stay
entertained and informed while
they are on the road.
Over those five years, the couple
averaged more than 300 days on
the road each year and hauled
cargo more than 1.2 million miles.
Until they found TracVision, they
had trouble finding a satellite TV
system that could withstand their
life on the road.
“We tried several other systems
in the past, and after six to eight
months, they would just selfdestruct from the vehicle
vibrations,” said Robert Daniels.
“But with the TracVision, there
were no component failures.”
The couple initially invested in

Be earth-friendly:
get your car serviced
regularly
Regular vehicle maintenance and sensible
driving habits will help the environment and save
you money in the long run, according to the pros
at the National Institute for Automotive Service
Excellence (ASE).
Well-maintained vehicles pollute less, last
longer and command greater resale values. Follow
these tips from ASE to become a more savvy and
environmentally conscientious car-owner.
• Keep the engine running at peak performance.
A misfiring spark plug can reduce fuel efficiency
as much as 30 percent, for instance. Replace filters
and fluids as recommended in the owner’s manual
to keep your vehicle in peak condition.
• Keep tires properly inflated and aligned to reduce
the effort required by the engine — and gasoline
consumption.
• Find a good technician. Ask friends for
recommendations or check the reputation of the
repair shop you are considering by contacting your
local consumer group.
Check the technicians’ credentials as well,
including ASE certification. ASE-certified auto
technicians have passed one or more national
exams in specialties such as engine performance
and air conditioning.

HIV drug resistance a growing concern for doctors
Nearly half of all HIV-infected
patients in the United States
develop resistance to one or more
of their medications, experts say,
making the epidemic of drug
resistance a growing concern.
“Unlike other chronic illnesses,
HIV is unforgiving,” said Dr. John
G. Bartlett, an expert in infectious
diseases and professor at Johns
Hopkins School of Medicine,
speaking at an American Medical
Association briefing.
“Once the virus becomes
resistant to one drug, we can never
use that drug again. The challenge
for physicians is to stay ahead of
the virus with new drugs and
newly available combinations of
drugs.” There are various reasons
for the development of such
resistance. One key reason is that
when patients either miss or skip
a dose of their medication, it gives
the virus a chance to multiply and
mutate, allowing it to grow
increasingly resistant to the drugs
designed to fight it.
“As the virus mutates, the drugs
lose their ability to prevent the
virus from reproducing,” Bartlett
said. “The drug-resistant virus
reproduces unchecked and the
viral load [amount of virus] in the
body increases.”
In fact, a new study published
in the Feb 1, 2005, issue of the
Journal of Infectious Diseases
showed that adherence to the
medication regimen had by far the
greatest impact on the
development of resistance.
Patients who missed less than 5
percent of their medications did
not develop resistance over the
course of the 30-month study.
“Adherence is not just
swallowing pills, but swallowing
them at the correct times and with
the
appropriate
dietary
requirements,” Bartlett said.
“A treatment goal for
physicians is to find simpler drug
regimens that can be taken less
frequently to make it easier for
their patients to follow their
treatment plans,” said Dr.
Kimberly Y. Smith, assistant
professor of medicine at Rush
University Medical Center in
Chicago.
“The trend has become using
fewer pills with less frequent
dosages,” Smith said. “Although
the ideal regimen would be one pill
per day, regimens that include two
to four pills per day are currently
very popular and seem to be welltolerated.”
New laboratory tests also have
been developed that help predict
which medications may become
Secondhand smoke a problem for children
A recent survey looked at
children’s exposure to secondhand
smoke
and
found
that
approximately 3 million children
6 years old and younger still are
exposed regularly to secondhand
smoke in their homes.
Administered by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency,
this study of more than 14,000
households showed that exposure
to secondhand smoke occurred
more often in lower-income,
lower-education households. The
survey also found that smoking by
visitors accounted for less than 1
percent of exposure.
Parents, on the other hand,
accounted for 90 percent of the
secondhand smoke to which
children were exposed.
Exposure to secondhand smoke
is a serious health risk, and
children, whose bodies are still
developing, are the most
vulnerable.
Children who are exposed to
secondhand smoke are more likely
to have asthma attacks, respiratory
tract infections and ear infections.
In addition, exposure increases the
risk of Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome in children under 1 year
old.
Even though progress has been
made, the numbers are still
alarming. In an earlier study, EPA
estimated that exposure to
secondhand smoke increases the
number of episodes and severity
of asthma symptoms in up to 1
million children each year.
The agency also estimated that
secondhand smoke is responsible
for 150,000 to 300,000 lower
respiratory tract infections in
infants and children under 18
months old.
This results in 7,500 to 15,000
hospital stays each year. A number
of other studies, including one by
the California EPA in 1997,
support EPA’s earlier findings.
If secondhand smoke is a problem
in your home, take these steps to
help reduce your child’s
exposure.
• Do not smoke in your home or
car. Do not permit others to do so,
either. Moving to another room
or opening a window does not
protect your children from
exposure because smoke stays in
the air and on your clothes.
• Take the Smoke-free Home
Pledge. It gives you and others the
incentive to make and keep your
home and car smoke-free. You can
pledge online at EPA’s Web site,
www.epa.gov/smokefree, or
through a special hotline at (866)
SMOKE-FREE. Either way, you
will get a free Smokefree Home
Kit with decals, magnets and
coasters to reinforce your
commitment.
• Learn more.
Go to www.epa.gov/smokefree

maintaining a smoke-free home is
so important for your children.

1-in-5 workers 55 years plus in 2002
In 2002, about 33 percent of
working Coloradans were age 45
or older, an increase from 24
percent in 1994, the U.S. Census
Bureau said today. The share of the
Centennial State 24 percent in
1994, the U.S. Census Bureau said
today. The share of the Centennial
State’s workers who were age 65
or older increased slightly over the
period, from about 1.9 percent to
2.7 percent. The analysis of
Colorado’s older work force is the
result of a new program called
Local Employment Dynamics
(LED) that was created in a
partnership between the Colorado
Department of Labor and
Employment and the Census
Bureau.
The unique partnership allows
employees at both the state and
federal levels to work together to
get critical information into the
hands of people who can benefit
from it. The report, A Profile of
Older Workers in Colorado [PDF],
has been generated from the
partnership and highlights the age
composition of the state’s work
force, job gains and losses for
older workers by industry,
industries in which older workers
are concentrated and their job
stability and earnings.

trends develop each quarter within

the characteristics of workers
involved in the changes,” Census
Bureau Director Louis Kincannon
said. “These indicators give insight
into Colorado’s economy and how
dynamic its communities are.”
Some highlights from the
Colorado report:
- In 2002, industries in which more
than 1-in-5 workers were 55 or
older included local and suburban
transit, membership organizations,
educational services, real estate
and insurance agents/brokers.
- Workers 65 or older were most
likely to be employed in 2002 in
the service industries of eating and
drinking places, business services
and health services. Special-trade
construction was also an important
source of work for this age group.
- Workers age 55 and over in the
rubber and plastics manufacturing
industry had a low turnover rate.
Workers in the local and suburban
transit industry had a high turnover
rate.
- Among industries in 2002 that
employed more than 1,500 people
age 65 or older, engineering,
accounting and research workers
had the highest average monthly
earnings ($3,528).
The LED program consists of
individual partnerships between
33 states, the District of Columbia
and the Census Bureau. Reports
prepared jointly with the partner
states on a variety of topics will
be released over the upcoming
months. The Department of Health
and Human Services’ National
Institute on Aging, a component of
the National Institutes of Health,
funded the reports on older
workers.
In addition, quarterly work force
indicators on such subjects as job
creation and new hires are
currently available for Colorado
and several other partner states for
selected years, age groups and
geographic areas, as well as for
men and women, at http://
lehd.dsd.census.gov.
Because the statistics come from
a variety of sources including state
administrative records, they are
not directly comparable with
statistics from household surveys
such as the decennial census long
form, the American Community
Survey and the Current Population
Survey.
Industries are organized by the
Standard Industrial Classification
system. The LED program also
produces data using the North
American Industry Classification
System. As in all data-estimation
processes, the results are subject
to error arising from data
processing or incomplete records.
The Census Bureau uses a variety
of procedures to minimize such
errors.

there are no restrictions on food

carbohydrates pack more of a
nutritional punch, they have more
staying power than simple carbs
such as table sugar or honey.
Break a Sweat: Exercise is a

plan. Exercising in the morning
enhances your metabolism when
it’s naturally most sluggish. Plus,
you’ll release endorphins, natural

COMMUNITY NEWS
Get the most from homeowner’s insurance
(NAPSA)-For a growing
number of homeowners, having an
insurance policy that offers
protection in the event of a natural
or other home disaster is an
essential
part
of
any
comprehensive insurance plan.
However, the specifics of each
policy-in terms of coverage and
the homeowner’s responsibilitiesare different.
Homeowners need to know what
they should do when filing a claim,
prior to a disaster occurring.
Especially true in today’s
economic
environment.
Consumers need to realize that
simply being a policyholder may
not be enough because many
homeowners don’t read or fully
understand their policies until it’s
too late.
At the same time, many
homeowners are scared to file a
claim unless the damage is
catastrophic, frightened that
reporting a claim will result in
higher premiums, deductibles or
even making them uninsurable.
The section of a policy usually
called “Duties After Loss” can be
especially
important
for
homeowners to understand.
The typical Duties After Loss
clause often includes the
following:
1) Report the Loss-Typically, the
standard homeowner’s insurance
contract requires that a
homeowner notify the insurer
within 48-72 hours after a loss
occurs.
2) Mitigate the Loss-This requires
that homeowners take action to
protect their property from further
damage.
If a court has to review the
matter, the homeowner’s efforts
will often be reviewed in light of
what’s known as the “reasonable
man theory.”
Under the same set of
circumstances, what would a
reasonable man have done?
For example, if a policyholder
suffered a loss in which water
saturated
a
carpet, would it
be reasonable for
the homeowner
to tear out the carpet, replace it
with marble and expect the
insurance carrier to pay for it all?
In most cases, probably not,
particularly if the carrier did not
get a chance to inspect the damage.
One of the first steps a
homeowner can take after a
disaster strikes is to call a
professional disaster restoration
company, such as ServiceMaster
Clean. Such specialists can help
homeowners mitigate a loss and
begin the claims process and the
road to recovery.
3) Testify Under Oath-Insurers can
ask that you testify under oath to
substantiate all facts of the loss.
To learn more about how to
mitigate your damage after a loss
or to find a ServiceMaster Clean
franchise, visit the Web site
www.servicemasterclean.com.

School District
Two improves
accreditation
status
Officials of the Harrison School
District Two and the Colorado
Department of Education (CDE)
held a joint press conference to
announce progress toward
restoring the district to full
accreditation status.
“The purpose of accreditation
watch status is to identify concerns
and assist a district in addressing
them,” commented Assistant
Commissioner
Dr.
Gary
Sibigtroth, speaking for CDE.
In their remarks, both state and
local officials stressed the vital
importance of addressing the
achievement gaps separating
children of poverty and color from
others. While praising the progress
made to date, they acknowledged
that much more needs to be done.

excellence in the Latin music industry. All of the night’s winners in
the music genres of Pop, Tropical, Regional Mexican, Rock and Urban
were chosen by the public through votes placed via http://

compiled by the prominent industry publication Radio & Records.
“Premio Lo Nuestro” is the highest-rated television special among
Hispanics in the US, watched by more than five million Hispanic
viewers, and beats all other English or Spanish language TV specials,
including the Super Bowl. Year to year, it consistently out delivers
other awards shows, including the Academy Awards and Golden Globes
in all key Hispanic audience demos.
