was the last time that David Green
tasted the thrill of victory until July
23rd, 2005 when he took the
checkered flag in the running of
the ITT Industries Systems
Division and Goulds Pumps Salute
to the Troops 250 presented by
Dodge.
Green, who had been strong all
day and running in the top five,
was able to pass Clint Bowyer with
just two laps to go lock up the win.
“This came at a great time and
is a good way to turn things
around,’’ said Green, who started
14th in a Ford. “It was there the
good. I knew I had him in a lane
he didn’t want to be in, and when
we got to turn three, it was do or
die.
It played out really well in our
favor at the end, and the key was
not having any cautions.’’
Green and Bowyer had a similar
battle at the Federated Auto Parts
300 in Nashville, Tenn., last
month when Bowyer got the best
of Green. This time around,
Bowyer didn’t have the tires to
hold off Green.

“For too many years, internet

Senator Salazar said.
“Parents know that our kids can

SHARE Colorado
SHARE Colorado, a nonprofit
organization, is a monthly food
distributor that offers grocery
packages at half the retail price
to everyone. Every package you
buy for yourself helps to put food
on the table for another family
in your community.
SHARE has 20 host sites
located throughout the Colorado
Springs area. To order from
Goodwill Industries Share
located on 2320 W. Colorado Ave.
on Aug. 11th from 7:30 - 8:30 am
and 3:30 - 4:30 pm. Or for more
information please call 719-2103244 or order online at
www.sharecolorado.com Anyone

Even those who can afford to
spend more for food are being
good stewards by simply being
more frugal. Because SHARE is
part of Catholic Charities, the
minimal profits in each SHARE
package sold goes to help
support other programs within
Catholic Charities, such as the
Samaritan House. And if you’re
really not interested in
participating we do take
donations for what we call a
sponsored SHARE package.
These SHARE packages go to
help families that cannot afford
to order from our program.

The Salvation Army–Emergency
Disaster Services Sending Out an SOS!
First Responders and Support Volunteers Needed Immediately
The Salvation Army
Emergency Disaster Services
( E D S )
Department is
currently seeking
first responders
and
support
volunteers to help
in major disaster
situations.
EDS is an onsite
support
service
that
provides meals
and supplies to the victims, fire,
police, and other first responders,
making sure front lines are
equipped to engage any
emergency situation. EDS also
offers counseling, pastoral care
and follow-up longterm care to help
disaster victims get

quickly as possible.
The Salvation
Army will train
volunteers
immediately in
emergency disaster
response which
includes necessary

electives.
Experience in mobile disaster
relief, counseling or emergency
services is helpful in various
areas, but not required. EDS
first responder teams are on
call on a rotating basis
throughout the year. Members
have flexible schedules and are
able to be on location for 1-2
days.
EDS support volunteers
assist in collecting, sorting and
delivering supplies to disaster
areas and acting as relief for EDS
first responders.
The Salvation Army needs you
today! Please call us at 636-5266
or visit us at www.TSACS.org

School Crosswalks Take Priority
CAB workers to hit the streets applying crosswalk materials August 10.
The City’s Traffic Engineering
Division will take approximately
14 workers from their desk jobs
at the City Administration
Building into the field for a lastminute push to finish applying
long-life pavement markings to
school crosswalks.
The City has nearly 440
school crosswalks on their highpriority list, and wants to
complete them before school
begins in late August. A contractor
was hired to complete the project,
but scheduling problems left the
work to be done by City workers.
City crews are currently working
Monday through Saturday to
complete the work, and CAB
workers joining them could mean
the high-priority crosswalks are
done by the time school starts.
The crosswalks are being coated
with a thermal plastic material that
is brighter and expected to last
four times longer than regular
paint.
Thanks to Pikes Peak Rural
Transportation Authority funds,
the City will be able to use
thermal plastic material on all
crosswalks. These markings will
only need to be applied every
two to three years, as opposed
to every six months to a year for
regular paint.

“Estoy consciente de que

Es sólo con el fin de proteger
vidas inocentes”, sostuvo.
También reconoció la probabilidad
de que policías disparen de nuevo.
Unos 40 amigos y parientes del
brasileño participaron ayer en una
vigilia frente a la sede de la policía
de Londres para expresar su
repudio a lo sucedido.
“Ellos tenían que matar a alguien
para mostrar a toda la gente que
están trabajando y dejando al país
seguro”, se quejó Alex Pereira,
primo de Menezes.
Bajo la lluvia, con banderas de
Brasil y carteles que rezaban
“Cinco balas en nuestros
corazones” y “Disculpas no son
suficientes”, los amigos no podían
explicar por qué Menezes escapó
de la policía.
En Gonzaga, Brasil, María,
madre de Menezes, dijo estar
“totalmente furiosa con la policía.
¿Cómo pueden matar a
trabajadores?” Luego agregó:
“Esto es un dolor que nada nunca
va a curar”.
Con una foto de su hijo con el
torso desnudo y una gorra en la que
se lee “Londres”, el padre de
Menezes, Matzinhos, afirmó que
le había dicho a su hijo que podía
ser peligroso vivir en Inglaterra,
pero que el joven electricista no
hizo caso a sus preocupaciones.
“No hay violencia”, le había

Plaza Sésamo DVD aprovechable en Español
Ventura Entertainment, el
distribuidor independiente líder en
programas en DVD, y Sesame
Workshop, la organización
educativa con fines no lucrativos
que produce programas que
incluyen Sesame Street, ha
anunciado que han llegado a un
acuerdo para estrenar en DVD
Plaza Sésamo, la serie en español
de Sesame Workshop.
Esta será la primera vez que en
los Estados Unidos se ofrezca en
DVD uno de los más importantes
programas de televisión para niños
en español.
De acuerdo con las condiciones
del pacto, Studio Latino, división
de Ventura, ha obtenido los
derechos de distribución de 10
títulos de Plaza Sésamo por
múltiples años.
Los primeros títulos, “¡Vamos a
Cantar!”, una colección de
canciones favoritas de temporadas
anteriores, y “Me Gusta Ser Yo”,
que les enseña a los niños las
partes del cuerpo en forma
divertida, están programados para
salir a la venta en noviembre de
2005, seguidos de otros títulos
durante 2006.
“Sesame Workshop tiene el
compromiso de educar y pugnar
por el bienestar de los niños.
Estamos muy complacidos con la
oportunidad de continuar con
nuestros esfuerzos al ofrecer Plaza
Sésamo en DVD por primera vez”,
dijo Heather Hanssen, Directora
de Desarrollo de Negocios de
Video de Sesame Workshop.
“Nuestros actuales aficionados
tendrán la oportunidad de gozar de
los programas en DVD y de
aprender en forma divertida, al
igual que los nuevos televidentes.
Tenemos la seguridad de que la
experiencia
de
Ventura
Entertainment para introducir
DVDs de alta calidad en este
mercado nos permitirá llevar Plaza
Sésamo a muchos más hogares en
este país”.
Los estrenos llegan en perfecto
momento para el creciente
mercado latino de EU.
De acuerdo con el
Departamento del Censo de los
Estados Unidos, la mitad del
crecimiento en la población del
país de 2003 a 2004 se debe a los
latinos, que con sus 41 millones
ya constituyen la séptima parte de
la población total.
A los latinos se les acredita el
mayor número de nacimientos
entre grupos étnicos en EU, con
más del 22 por ciento de los niños
nacidos en el país, de acuerdo con
el Centro Nacional de Estadística
de la Salud.
“La audiencia del
entretenimiento casero en español
en los Estados Unidos está
creciendo rápidamente y no ha
encontrado el servicio que merece.
El compromiso de Ventura
Entertainment de distribuir Plaza
Sésamo es una medida importante
en nuestro esfuerzo por llegar a
este importante mercado,” dijo
Eric Doctorow, Chief Operating
Officer de Ventura Entertainment
Enterprises.
“Nos complace el poder
colaborar con Sesame Workshop
para ofrecer esta valiosísima serie
de televisión en DVD a las
familias de todo Estados Unidos.”
Todavía activa después de
décadas de su debut en 1972, Plaza
Sésamo es la serie de televisión
para niños de mayor longevidad en
México.
El programa se difunde en casi
50 países y llega a 35 millones de
hogares en México y el resto de
Latinoamérica. Plaza Sésamo
tiene 10 años en Estados Unidos y
llega al 92 por ciento de los
hogares latinos.
“El gran éxito de Plaza Sésamo
al expandirse de Latinoamérica a
este país es prueba de la
creatividad del programa y del
poder de la marca,” dijo
Concepción Lara, Vicepresidente
Senior de Desarrollo de Negocios
y Mercadotécnia de Studio Latino.
“Nuestra colaboración con
Sesame Workshop en estos
programas servirá para confirmar
a Studio Latino en la posición de
distribuidor líder de programas en
español.”
Con esta adquisición, Ventura
Entertainment continúa su
estrategia y compromiso de
reforzar su amplio portafolio de
productos de gran importancia
para sus estudios internos:
UrbanWorks, StudioWorks, Studio
Latino y Ventura Select.

tales como Dragon Tales y Sagwa,

como

producciones en multimedia en
Sud Africa, Egipto y Rusia.

de las letras y los números y los
ayudan a comprender mejor el

Funding proposed to fix stalled Pueblo Depot construction
A technical problem with the
Fiscal Year 2006 Department of
Defense budget that could have
stalled progress at the Pueblo
Chemical Depot for another year
has been corrected by a bipartisan
amendment.
Co-sponsored by Senators Ken
Salazar (D-CO), Wayne Allard (RCO), John Warner (R-VA), Carl
Levin (D-MI), Jim Bunning (RKY) and Mitch McConnell (RKY) the amendment specifically
addressed the problem, ensuring
that $51 million dollars will be
available to be spent in FY 2006
for construction, planning, and
design work at both the Pueblo
Chemical Depot and at the
Bluegrass, Kentucky Chemical
Depot site. Under the Chemical
Weapons Convention, the
chemical weapons stored at these
sites must be destroyed by 2012.
“We need to start construction at
the depot as quickly as possible,”
Senator Allard said. “This
technical change was needed so
that we can get the ball the rolling
as fast as possible.
This will give the managers of
the program greater flexibility so
they can better utilize their
resources to reach our goal of
safely destroying these weapons
and meeting the 2012 treaty
deadline.”
Senator Salazar stated, “This
amendment is an essential step
forward for the destruction of the
tons of chemical weapons still
stored at the Pueblo Chemical
Depot. I hope this is another
indication that the Pentagon
recognizes the urgency this
situation demands – an urgency the
people of Pueblo and all of
Colorado are right to expect.”
Without the amendment from
the six senators, the Department of
Defense would not have been able
to spend funds under the
appropriate accounts. Their fix,
which moves money from the
Research, Development, Test and
Evaluation (RDT&E) budget to
the Military Construction
Senator Allard secures $123.32 million
US Senator Wayne Allard, (RColorado) has secured $70.6
million for improvements at Fort
Carson, and an additional $52.72
million for other Colorado Springs
military installations in a 2006
military construction funding bill
approved Thursday by the Military
Construction Appropriations
Subcommittee, of which he is a
member. “I continue to work in the
Senate to ensure that Fort Carson
remains one of the premier
military training centers in the
nation, and this funding
strengthens that position,” said
Senator Allard, a member of the
Senate Appropriations Committee.
“This shows the subcommittee
continues to assign a high priority
to seeing that Fort Carson has the
infrastructure and facilities it needs
to continue providing first-rate
training to our men and women in
uniform, and make sure they have
the resources they need to carry out
their missions,” said Senator
Allard, a member of the Senator
Appropriations Committee.
“This funding will be
particularly helpful as thousands
of soldiers are transferred to Fort
Carson as part of the BRAC
process.”
New funding for Fort Carson
improvements approved by the
subcommittee includes:
• $14.6 million to continue work
on a troop deployment facility (at
Peterson Air Force Base)
• $25 million for the barracks
complex
• $28 million for the Combined
Arms Collective Training Facility
• $2.5 million for two urban
combat training centers, one for
regular troops and one for Special
Forces.
Other Colorado Springs area
military construction funding
provided by the bill includes:
• $12.8 million for Peterson Air
Force Base West Gate Force

• $13 million for the US Air Force

Undocumented workers exposed
to asbestos in Denver Area
Undocumented workers who did
demolition work for Service
Management Incorporated (SMI)
between 1997 and 2000 in the
Denver area, may have been
exposed to asbestos, the Agency
for Toxic Substances and Disease
Registry (ATSDR) announced.
Many of the workers were
recruited from Valle de Santiago,
Guanajuato, México.
Those who lived with former
workers also may have been
exposed by workers bringing
home asbestos fibers on their
clothes.
Breathing in asbestos fibers can
cause lung diseases. Symptoms of
the diseases can take 10 - 20 years
or longer to appear.
Workers and their families who
think they may have been exposed
to asbestos should see their doctor
or healthcare provider, avoid
smoking, secondhand smoke and
get a flu shot every year.
ATSDR has a toll-free line, 1877-461-0204, where workers,
their families and health care
professionals can get health
information on asbestos exposure.
The call is free, confidential and
bilingual (Spanish or English).
ATSDR recently trained local
doctors in Colorado to prepare
them for seeing workers and their
families who may have been
exposed to asbestos.
ATSDR, a federal public health
agency of the US Department of
Health and Human Services,
evaluates the human health effects
of exposure to hazardous
substances. The agency also
determines how hazardous a site
is and recommends actions that
need to be taken to safeguard
people’s health. Established by
Congress in 1980 under the
Superfund law, ATSDR conducts
public health assessments and
consultations at each of the sites
on the EPA National Priorities
List, as well as other sites when
petitioned.
Headquartered in Atlanta,
Georgia, ATSDR is staffed by
more than 400 health professionals
including environmental health
scientists, epidemiologists,
physicians,
toxicologists,
engineers and public health
educators.

Commander praises swift
response to VA budget
shortfall, calls for long-term
solution
American Legion National
Commander Thomas P. Cadmus
said he is encouraged that
Congress and the administration
acted swiftly to cover a recently
revealed $1 billion shortfall in this
year’s VA health-care budget.
However, the leader of the world’s
largest veterans organization
added that emergency spending
bills are merely a
short-term fix to a long-term
problem.
“Timely, compassionate care
must be delivered to the heroes of
past wars and to today’s newest
veterans - 85,000 and counting who have come home from Iraq
Care Delivery for Our Nation’s
Veterans. They must change the
funding formula. VA health-care
funds must be assured. This is
about human lives.”
On Wednesday, the Senate voted
96-0 to add $1.5 billion to this
year’s drained VA health-care
system. VA Secretary Jim
Nicholson on Thursday presented
Congress a proposal to add $975
million in emergency spending to
cover the shortfall.
Also Thursday, Rep. Steve Buyer,
R-Ind., chairman of the House
Veterans Affairs Committee,
praised The American Legion and
other veterans organizations for
providing what he said was a
“more accurate” assessment of
VA’s budgetary needs than VA’s
own projections. “We all work
from the same data,” Cadmus said,
adding that the Legion also
benefits from having hundreds of
field representatives who work
closely with VA on the local level.
“We know firsthand that VA’s
health-care system is under-funded
and that care is now being
rationed. VA health care is not a
partisan issue.
No American, Democrat or
Republican, veteran or not, wants
rationing.” In the 108th Congress,
Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., then
chairman of the House Veterans
Affairs Committee, and ranking
Democrat Lane Evans of Illinois,
both introduced bills for assured
funding of VA health care. Evans
introduced a similar measure in the
109th Congress.
Cadmus said VA must now make
a priority of collecting some $3
billion in unpaid bills from
insurance companies and other
third-party payers. Also, he added,
veterans must be permitted to use
their Medicare benefits at VA
facilities.
“The American Legion looks
forward to working with the
administration and Congress to
better meet the health-care needs
of America’s veterans,” Cadmus
said.
“Our mission is shared. Our
mission is sacred. And it is
growing ever more critical as the
war against terrorism presses on,
producing more wartime veterans
who need us.”
and Afghanistan and now entrust
their care to VA,” Cadmus said.
“It’s unfortunate the 2005 VA
health-care
budget
was
miscalculated, but it’s not
surprising. These shortages are
becoming annual events because
the current discretionary funding
formula used to set the budget is
inherently flawed.

(NAPSA)-Here are some golf
facts that would make the cut in
any reminiscing tournament.
• Among Gene Sarazen’s
achievements and contributions to
golf was his invention of the sand
wedge.
• Walter Hagen, in the 1920s, was
the first professional to make a
living playing golf rather than
teaching it as a club pro.
• Phil Mickelson may be the most
successful left-handed golfer ever,
but he’s right-handed in everything
else he does.
• Today, purses on the PGA Tour
routinely exceed $5 million. Quite
a difference from Nicklaus’ first
paycheck on Tour: $33.33 at the
1962 L.A. Open.
• Before the 1930s, clubs were
identified by names. Instead of a
3-wood, 5-iron or 9-iron, you
would have used a spoon, a mashie
or a niblick.
• Dr. Cary Middlecoff, an Honoree
at this year’s Memorial
Tournament, gave up dentistry to
play golf and won 37 tournaments,
including the Masters and two
U.S. Opens.
• Of the last 10 U.S. presidents,
nine have been golfers; only
Jimmy Carter was not.
• Jack Nicklaus grew up idolizing
Bobby Jones, who won the 1926
U.S. Open at Scioto Country Club,
a course in his hometown of
Columbus, Ohio, where his dad
introduced him to the game.
These facts were discovered by
the Royal Bank of Scotland Group
through its support of Jack
Nicklaus and the game of golf.

AUTOMUNDO
Replace the cabin filter and breathe Clean Air
When you’re driving your car,
truck or SUV with the windows
closed, do you find yourself
sneezing or coughing, and your
eyes watery and itchy? The source
of your discomfort very well may
be the usual environmental
villains: pollen, mold spores,
bacteria, smoke, road dust and
exhaust chemical residues. And
one reason you may be noticing
their irritating and harmful effects
more when you are driving is that
the cabin air filter in your vehicle
is dirty and needs to be replaced.
Cabin air filtration systems were
first introduced in the 1939 Nash.
Nash has long since disappeared
from the automotive scene; and for
years there was little interest in
adding cabin filtration systems to
vehicles. Things changed when
European automakers began
installing them in their cars in the
mid-1980s to address poor air
quality and its harmful effects on
drivers. American automakers
soon followed, beginning with
cabin filtration systems on the
Ford Contour and Mercury
Mystique. By the end of 2000,
more than 16 million vehicles
were built with cabin air filters in
the United States. Since then, the
range of models offered with cabin
air filters has grown steadily.
Today, approximately 55 percent
of all new vehicles sold in the
United States have cabin air
filtration systems installed as
standard equipment or an available
option.
Types of cabin filters
Two basic types of cabin filters
are in use today and are available
from manufacturers like Bosch.
One type is the particulate filter;
the other is an activated charcoal
filter. The particulate filter is a
multilayer design composed of a
pre-filter, an electrostaticallycharged microfiber layer and a
cover layer. Each layer is made
with a mold-resistant filtration
media that serves to ensure
maximum performance and
durability.
The pre-filter is composed of a
special non-woven media
designed to capture larger
contaminating particles, including
pollen and mold spores. The
electrostatically-charged
microfiber layer attracts and holds
elusive smaller-size particles from
smoke, bacteria, and other
contaminants. The cover layer is
constructed of a non-woven filter
media that adds stability and
protects the microfiber layer from
damage. It also provides an
additional barrier against harmful
contaminants.
The activated charcoal filter has
all of the features of the particulate
filter, plus an activated charcoal
layer that absorbs harmful gases
and their odors. And like their
distant cousin, the home furnace
filter, automotive cabin filters
often feature a pleated design. The
pleats provide greater surface area
for higher filtration capacity, and
the more pleats, the greater the
filtration capacity.
Know when to replace filters
Of course, cabin filters must be
relatively clean to deliver such
benefits. Some signs that indicate
it’s time to replace the cabin filter
are when the vehicle’s heating/ air
conditioning system is exhibiting
reduced air flow, or when you
smell a stale, musty odor coming
from the air vents. Service
technicians recommend replacing
cabin filters every 12,000 to
15,000 miles or once a year in
order to ensure good air quality for
you and your passengers.
“A clean cabin filter is essential
to maintaining good air quality in
your vehicle,” says Rob Backode,
senior product manager for
automotive filters for Robert
Bosch Corporation, one of the
world’s largest suppliers of
automotive parts and systems.
“Your vehicle’s cabin filter serves
the same purpose as your furnace
filter in your home. Cabin filters
trap a wide range of irritating and
harmful particulates, and by
preventing particulate from pollen,
dust, smoke and other outdoor
sources from entering and
contaminating the interior air
space of your vehicle, cabin filters
assure cleaner, fresher air for you
and your passengers.”
Clean cabin filters also serve to
protect the HVAC system’s
downstream components, such as
the blower motor. Yet as much as
85 percent of all original
equipment cabin filters in service
today have never been replaced.
Replacing a cabin filter yourself
can be accomplished in as little as
five minutes. “Changing the cabin
filter is as easy as changing the
furnace filter in your home,” says
Backode.
Cabin filters are generally
located under the vehicle’s hood,
inside the glove compartment or
under the dashboard, and most are
within easy reach for quick
replacement.
The next time you slide behind
the wheel of your vehicle, think of
all the hours you spend driving
with the windows rolled up. Then
think about the air you’re
breathing, and remember: You can
be breathing a whole lot easier
simply by replacing the cabin
filter.

Hyundai continúa su escalada en el índice de atención al Cliente
Hyundai subió ocho niveles y
registró la segunda mejora más
grande año tras año, entre todas las
marcas del estudio JD Power and

Sustituye el filtro de aire de la cabina y respira aire limpio
Cuando manejas tu automóvil,
camión o SUV con las ventanillas
cerradas, ¿estornudas, toses, y
sientes lagrimeo y picazón en los
ojos? La fuente de tus molestias
podría ser responsabilidad de los
usuales villanos del medio
ambiente: polen, esporas de moho,
bacterias, humo, polvo del camino,
y residuos químicos del
escape del motor. Y una
razón por la cual estás
notando mucho más sus
efectos irritantes y dañinos
a la hora de conducir es
que el filtro de aire de la
cabina de tu vehículo está
sucio,
y
necesita
reemplazo.
El sistema de filtración
de aire fue introducido por
primera vez en el mo-delo
Nash de 1939. Hace muchos años
que Nash desapareció de la escena
automotriz, y por algún tiempo no
se mostró demasiado interés en la
instalación de ese sistema en otros
vehículos.
Pero las cosas
cambiaron cuando los fabricantes
europeos de automóviles
comenzaron a instalarlos en sus
creaciones a mediados de los años
ochenta, para resolver el problema de la deficiente calidad del
aire, y sus efectos dañinos en los
conductores. En breve, sus
homólogos estadounidenses
siguieron el ejemplo, comenzando
con sistemas de filtración de aire
en los modelos Ford Contour y
Mercury
Mystique,
respectivamente. A finales del año
2000, se construyeron más de 16
millones de vehículos con filtros
de aire para la cabina en los
Estados Unidos. Desde entonces,
la gama de modelos con ese
sistema
ha
aumentado
constantemente. En la actualidad,
aproximadamente el 55 por ciento
de losvehículos nuevos vendidos
en los Estados Unidos cuenta con
sistemas de filtración de aire, ya
sea instalado de fábrica, o como
opción disponible.
TIPOS DE FILTROS
En la actualidad se utilizan dos
tipos básicos de filtros,
distribuidos a través de firmas
fabricantes como Bosch. Uno de
ellos es el filtro de partículas, y el
otro, un filtro de carbón activado.
El primero consiste en un diseño
multicapas compuesto por un prefiltro, una capa de microfibras
cargadas electrostáticamente, y
otra de recubrimiento. Cada una
de dichas capas está hecha con un
medio filtrante resistente al moho,
que contribuye a garantizar el
máximo
rendimiento
y
durabilidad.
El prefiltro está compuesto por
un medio especial sin urdimbre,
creado para captar partículas
contaminantes de gran tamaño,
como el polen y las esporas de
moho. La capa de microfibras
cargadas electrostáticamente atrae
y retiene partículas elusivas de
menor tamaño, como humo,
bacterias y otros contaminantes.
Finalmente, la capa de
recubrimiento está construida con
un medio de filtro sin urdimbre
que añade estabilidad, y protege la
capa de microfibras. Además, es
una barrera adicional contra los
contaminantes dañinos.
El filtro de carbón cuenta con
todas las características del filtro
de partículas, además de una capa
de carbón activado que absorbe los
gases perjudiciales y sus olores. Y,
al igual que su primo lejano, el del
aire acondicionado y calefacción
del hogar, los filtros de aire para
la cabina del automóvil poseen con
frecuencia un diseño plisado. Los
pliegues permiten un área mayor
de superficie, para una mayor
capacidad de filtración, por lo que,
a más cantidad de dichos pliegues,
mayor será la capacidad.
SABER CUANDO SUSTITUIR
LOS FILTROS
Por supuesto, los filtros de aire
deben estar relativamente limpios
para brindar sus beneficios. Entre
las señales que indican el
momento de reemplazarlos
figuran: cuando el sistema de
calefacción/ acondicionamiento de
aire comienza a perder fuerza en
el flujo de aire; o cuando se
advierte un olor rancio y a moho
que sale de los conductos de
ventilación. Los técnicos de
servicio recomiendan sustituir los
filtros cada 12,000 a 15,000 millas,
o una vez al año, para garantizar
de garantía del vehículo. La
satisfacción general se basa en seis
categorías de servicio: entablar
servicio, consejero de servicio, la
experiencia del cliente en el
distribuidor, la entrega del
servicio, la calidad del servicio y
el servicio de uso fácil.

‘Food for Shots’ program rewards
immunization
Colorado Access has joined the
Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment’s
statewide
immunization
campaign, which was kicked off
earlier this month to increase the
number of Colorado children
immunized, by launching its own
new program that gives Colorado
Access members food gift
certificates when they get their 2year-olds fully immunized.
As the state’s largest Medicaid
and Child Health Plan Plus
(CHP+) health plan, Colorado
Access recognizes that a
disproportionate number of lowincome children do not get fully
immunized. Colorado Access’
new program, called Food for
Shots, aims to change that.
“Medicaid average immunization
rates lag behind commercial plans’
immunization rates approximate 3
to 8 percentage points,” said Shira
Belman, MD, Colorado Success
Associate Pediatric Medical
Director and Instructor of
Pediatrics for The Children’s
Hospital. “Since Colorado Access
serves close to 50,000 Medicaid
members and 15,000 CHP+
members in the state, we felt
compelled to find a way to
improve this.”
The result: All Colorado Access
members who turn 2 this year and
have up to date immunizations will
receive a $5 grocery coupon to
King Soopers, Loaf and Jug or
City Market. A drawing of all the
names will be held Dec. 15, 2005,
and one grand prize winner will
receive a $250 grocery gift
certificate.
EMT Basic class to be offered in Rocky Ford
Otero Junior College will be
offering a 15-week course in
Emergency Medical TechnicianBasic (EMT-B) training in Rocky
Ford starting on August 22.
The class will meet every
Monday and Thursday evening
from August 22 to December 15
from 6 to 10 pm at the Gobin
Building. The class will also meet
one Saturday a month from 8 am
to 4 pm.
Three years ago, OJC received
certification from the Colorado
Department for Public Health and
Environment to become an official
EMS-Division training center.
Over that three year time period,
the program has trained 140 EMT
Basic students and 13 EMT
Intermediate students. In an effort
to offer EMT training to as many
area residents as possible, OJC has
held classes at locations in Las
Animas, La Junta, Ordway,
Fowler, and Manzanola. The class
that is scheduled to start on August
22 will be the first class offered in
Rocky Ford since the program
began.
Throughout the 15-week course,
students will follow a curriculum
that will prepare them to take the
Colorado EMT-Basic written
certification exam and the
Colorado EMT-Basic practical
exam. Both exams are given at
OJC at no charge. Students who
complete the required coursework
and pass the exams will qualify to
be registered through the National
Registry of Emergency Medical
Technicians as a Certified EMT
Basic. This certification is valid
throughout most of the United
States.
According to Brandon
Chambers, lead instructor for the
upcoming course, the curriculum
will focus on preparing students to
have competency skills in six
different areas. Those skills begin
with patient assessment and then
progress to the management,
immobilization,
and
administration skills that an EMTBasic might be called upon to
perform in an emergency situation.
The Colorado Department of
Labor predicts that the demand for
emergency medical technicians
and paramedics in Colorado will
grow by 4.9 percent a year through
2012. The agency reports that the
average hourly wage for those
with an EMT certification is close
to $15 an hour. Employment
opportunities, most commonly
associated with EMT Basic
positions in metro areas, include
working for ambulance services,
fire departments, and hospitals.
Rural areas; however, often utilize
those with EMT certifications as
volunteers for rural fire
departments and ambulance
services.
Heather Dittburner, is one such
volunteer. Dittburner has been a
volunteer with the La Junta Rural
Fire Department since 2001. She
is now certified as an EMT
Intermediate, a higher level
certification that allows her to do
Advanced Life Support (ALS)
procedures on the scene.
“I have been working as an EMT
for five years and I don’t think I
could ever stop working in this
profession,” said Dittburner.
“Most of us who have trained and
are working in the field, have a
passion for the work that is hard
to explain to other people. When
the call comes in to respond to a
scene, a whole different level of
energy takes over. Your mind
begins to systematically assess the
situation and all the training you
have had becomes instinctive
action and reaction,” she
explained.
Heather Dittburner, a graduate of
the OJC EMT program, will be an
assistant instructor for the EMT
Basic class to be held this fall in
Rocky Ford. In addition to the
academic curriculum Dittburner,
and lead instructor Brandon
Chambers, will be providing
students with many hands-on
experiences in the class to prepare
them for scenarios they will
encounter once they become
certified EMTs.
Dittburner, a graduate of the
Otero Junior College EMT
Intermediate program in 2004, will
be an assistant instructor for the
fall class to be held in Rocky Ford.
She has had an additional 40 hours
of training to certify her to teach
in the program.
“One area that I will concentrate
on is providing a lot of hands-on
experiences for the students. They
will get to role-play numerous
scenarios, so that they will have
some experience and know how to
respond to many different
situations that they may encounter
as a new EMT,” she said.
Dittburner is a wife, and mother
of three, an employee of the
Arkansas Valley Regional Medical
Center’s radiology department,

Colorado State University at
Pueblo launches its new Legal
Nurse Consultant Training Course
(LNCT) beginning September 10,
2005.
This exciting new curriculum
prepares medical professionals to
serve as expert advisors on
medical issues to law firms, health
care providers, insurance
companies,
governmental
agencies and risk-management
departments. The six-day live
lecture program teaches legal
concepts related to the health care
industry. Also included is the role
a Legal Nurse Consultant (LNC)
would play in litigation, perhaps
as an expert witness in medical
malpractice, toxic torts, product
liability, personal injury, emotional
distress, wrongful death and other
types of cases.
Any RN or other medical
professional interested in forensic
testimony and medical-legal issues
will benefit from the course.
LNC’s are frequently hired by
attorneys to provide critical
assistance in the preparation of
their cases.
According to the American

Consultants
(AALNC),
responsibilities of LNCs can
include conducting client
interviews, locating and obtaining
evidence, preparing chronologies
of medical events and correlating
them to case allegations, assisting
with depositions and trials,
developing and preparing exhibits,
researching and locating expert
witnesses, and serving as an expert
witness at trial.

and a nursing student at OJC.
Dittburner says her goal is to
become a Registered Nurse and
eventually a paramedic. “I want
to learn as much as possible about
emergency medicine. I love
it…and it’s really hard to explain
just why,” she said.
Other former students, who are
now working as EMTs, echo
Dittburner’s description of the
profession.
Margaret Koch, who recently
completed the OJC practical
nursing program, went through
EMT Basic training two years ago.
In addition to working for the
AVRMC and continuing her
education to become a Registered
Nurse, Koch volunteers with the
La Junta Fire Department where
she is on-call about 50 hours a
month.

Information About Mortgage Trends And Practices In Colorado
Since the mortgage industry is
unregulated in the state of
Colorado, some mortgage brokers
can (in theory and principal) get
away with more legally than in
states that have regulation. They
may attempt to add subtle charges
that may be overlooked by the
consumer. It is common
knowledge that having state
regulation in the mortgage
industry doesn’t necessarily
guarantee that fraud, theft,
misrepresentation, or malpractice
won’t happen during the process.
State regulation of the mortgage
industry just means that the
consumer has more legal options
and alternatives via governmental
intervention if something happens.
Even than, the average consumer
generally has to provide the burden
of proof that something was
INTENTIONAL and malicious on
the behalf of the mortgage broker
and/ or lender. A common defense
(among others) provided by the
mortgage industry is that the
consumer did not question a
certain charge or fee during the
closing process when given the
opportunity to do so and signed the
documents anyway.
Sometimes, the broker may not
thoroughly explain and the
consumer may not totally
understand what the charges and
fees may represent. Some of the
charges and fees may be duplicate,
unnecessary or irrelevant to the
mortgage process. In connection
with items payable in connection
to the loan, yes it is standard and
common to include such items as
an appraisal fee, underwriting fee,
charges for taxes/ insurances, a
title fee, and a credit report fee in
addition to a few other necessary
items. Mortgage brokers may
charge a “loan origination fee” and
a yield fee which both contribute
to their commission payment.
Technically, a broker can make
the judgment call to charge a
“processing fee” to assure that they
get paid regardless if consumer
officially closes on mortgage, The
thing to keep in mind is that if the
Two heads are

English and Spanish
consumer closes on a house, there
shouldn’t be a processing fee to
begin with because the loan
origination fee should include any
and all processing fees to begin
with. So, the consumer can be
“double charged” right off the bat.
I have seen loans in which a
consumer is charged a processing
fee, a broker fee, and a
presentation fee. All 3 of these
items are sugar coated ways of
billing for the same service.
Technically, the consumer was
subtly charged 4 times for the same
service. Bear in mind that the
above mentioned items are the
reason why a loan origination fee
is charged to begin with. The
bottom line is that a mortgage
broker can not charge more than
6% in terms of certain fees and
charges in connection to a loan.
This is NOT including such items
such as APR, interests, taxes,
insurance, etc…
As we all know, it can be very
time consuming and difficult to
thoroughly read every line of every
page (which can be several dozen
pages or so). It does not
necessarily help the consumer that
the documents are practically (for
the most part) written by someone
in the legal field. I would
recommend that your listeners
thoroughly investigate every
mortgage broker/ lender with the
local BBB in addition to the
various governmental entities
before they (the consumer) decides
to do business with them. It may
minimize if not totally eliminate a
lot of the grief and financial burden
that may result in the aftermath.
Most mortgage brokers/ lenders
should have a final and official set
of the mortgage documents a
couple of days before the closing.
I would encourage anyone and
everyone to request a copy of those
documents for review. It will allow
the consumer the necessary time
to thoroughly review the mortgage
documents word for word
BEFORE they sign anything. It
will also allow the consumer to
question and edit anything. Please
do not be shy or embarrassed to
question anything because only the
consumer can protect their own
interests. The mortgage broker
does not necessarily protect the
consumer’s interests.
If anything, please review the
documents with someone who is
knowledgeable with the mortgage
process. The consumer has the

facilities, housing and other
amenities needed to do the job.”
“I couldn’t be more excited
about the prospect of having the
4th Infantry Division returned to
Fort Carson where it belongs,”
Senator Allard said. “As one of our
nation’s – and the world’s – most
lethal, modern and deployable
units. The 15,000 man ‘Ivy’
Division has had a long, proud
history and has proven itself time
and time again in battle. We in
Colorado are honored to once
again have such a distinguished
unit stationed at the Mountain
Post.”
One brigade of the 4th Infantry
Division, 4,000 soldiers, already is
stationed at Fort Carson. In
addition, the Army announced
plans earlier to permanently
station the 2nd Infantry Division
soldier 2nd Infantry Division has
been temporarily stationed at Fort
Carson since returning from
Korea, and will be re-designated
as a brigade of
the 4th Infantry
Division.
“The addition
of 8,000 more
soldiers at Fort
Carson will not
come without
significant
challenges,”
Senator Allard.
“You can count
me to continue
to fight for the funding required to
ensure these soldiers and their
families receive the housing,
schools, and support facilities they
need to thrive in Colorado. We
must ensure that the quality of life
deserve to have is available to
them at Fort Carson.”
“We must also provide these
soldiers, who are going to be
putting their
lives on the line
for
their
country, with
state-of-the-art
facilities they
can use for
training and
preparation for
deployment,”
Senator Allard
said.
Earlier this
month Senator Allard secured
$70.6 million for improvements at
Fort Carson, including $14.6
million to continue work on a
troop deployment facility (at
Peterson Air Force Base), $25
million for the barracks complex,
$28 million for the Combined
Arms Collective Training Facility
and $2.5 million for two urban
combat training centers, one for
regular troops and one for Special
Forces. This funding is in addition
to the $26 million Senator Allard
obtained for the construction of
new barracks at Fort Carson in the
2005
Supplemental
Appropriations bill enacted in
May.
At the same time, the Pentagon
announced it is moving the 3rd
Armored Cavalry Regiment to
Fort Hood in Texas.
“The Brave Rifles of the 3rd
Armored Calvary Regiment are
among the finest soldiers in the
Army and are an integral part of
the Colorado Springs community,”
Senator Allard said. “I was
saddened to learn that they will be
leaving Fort Carson.”
