As the big wheels turn, Bill Cundiff and Glen Spencer of Four Corners Antique Power Club explain the action of the steam engine that was used to pump water from a deep well in New Mexico. The engine was part of the antique tractor display at the Four States Agricultural Exposition held March 15-18 at the Montezuma County Fairgrounds. Although attendance at this year’s expo appears to be down, expo board President Dusty Beals said that, overall, the event was a success.

Expo grows ag Four States Agricultural Exposition ends 30th run

By Brandon Mathis Journal Staff Writer

Despite smaller crowds and gate receipts than last year, the Four States Agricultural Exposition was no burr in Montezuma County’s saddle.

Even though numbers were low, the crowds were happy and vendors had terrific sales, said ag expo board President Dusty Beals.

“We had such good weather every day but Sunday; I think that a lot of farmers stayed in their fields to get some work done before that storm hit,” Beals said.

Even though visitors were down from last year, Beals said every bull and heifer in the bull barn sold — 18 animals in all.

“The bull consignors left happy,” he said.

It’s still too soon for the hard numbers, but based on the success of vendor sales, programs like the Ag Adventure and the

The debate over the four- versus five-day school is evolving.

What began as a movement to challenge the Montezuma-Cortez Re-1 School Board’s decision to return to a five-day school week is morphing into a demand for a better understanding of problems facing the district.

Despite a full agenda planned for the board, it was the dominating discussion at the March 20 board meeting.

More than 100 people appeared to address the school board and present them with a set of questions, according to Becky Brunk. Brunk is one of the organizers of Montezuma County Lanier Advocates for Education, a group of teachers and parents formed to oppose the transition back to a five-day school week.

The group wanted answers from the school board, but many left the meeting dissatisfied.

“All we did was look at this set of questions together and try to

At this year’s Four States Agricultural Exposition, youths in the 4-H and FFA livestock judging competition didn’t just learn about animals.

They learned about life.

During the contest, more than 60 young judgers must examine animals, record their observations, memorize them, then present them to a judge of their own later in the day. The contest is more about being animal savvy and learning how to recognize quality livestock.

Mancos High School sophomore Kyle Cox said it’s hard because the animals are so close to each other.

deaths Harriet Goetz Holly Harriet Goetz Holly was born June 7, 1923, in Boston, Mass., the daughter of Robert Charles Frederick and Antoinette (Graves) Goetz.

She passed away March 20, 2012, at the age of 88.

Harriet Goetz married John Hugh Holly on June 8, 1954, in Beaufort, S.C. She lived all over the world, including Brussels, Switzerland, and West Point. Her father was the military attaché to Belgium who advised U.S. diplomats during the Disarmament Conference in Geneva and then went on to become chief of staff at West Point during World War II. Harriet settled in Boca Raton, Fla., for 56 years with her dear husband, John “Jack”

Holly, but her roots were of a European c h i l d h o o d , a New England education at Miss Holly P o r t e r ’s School in Farmington, Conn., and the Army life of her father. She grew up on Army posts, including Ft. Sill and Ft. Leavenworth.

Harriet remembered parades at West Point with thousands of cadets, lined up perfectly straight and brilliant in their plumed hats, many of whom never returned from World War

II. “It was a regimented life, but it was a privileged life. It was what I knew. It never leaves me.” In later years she made quilts and donated them to wounded soldiers. “After all, I’m one of them,” she once said. “I was an Army brat.” Harriet enjoyed quilting, knitting, growing orchids, and years as a dressmaker.

Harriet was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Antoinette Goetz, her husband, John Hugh Holly, and a sister, Antoinette Logan.

Surviving Harriet are her daughters, Heather Holly of Crested Butte, Colo.; Christmas Holly of San Diego, Calif.; and Pamela Morrell of Mancos; her son Wil-

June Lee Smith liam (and Donna) Holly of Boynton Beach, Fla.; her two grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Harriet also expressed her appreciation for her extraordinary friends and caretakers at the Vista Mesa Assisted Living and Hospice of Montezuma County.

A private family Celebration of Life Service will be held at a later date in Simsbury, Conn. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Paralyzed Veterans of America Assoc., 801 18th St. Northwest, Washington, DC 20006.

Arrangements are under the direction of Four Corners Funeral Chapel, Cortez.

Lillian A. Hammond Lillian A. Hammond (Mom, Mommy, Sweeney, Lil, Grandma, Great-grandmother) left peacefully Monday, March 19, 2012, to be with our Lord Jesus Christ. Lillian was a lover, a wonderful chef, a dedicated Christian, and she enjoyed serving others.

Lillian was born in Mancos in 1934 to Frank and Mary Eppich (Koenig). She grew up with eight siblings learning the skills of farming, ranching, riding, sewing, and cooking. Lillian is survived by her sisters Helen, Dorthy, and brother Bill.

After high school, Lillian moved to Denver to be with her sisters and wait for her heartthrob Hugh to return from war in Korea.

While waiting for Hugh, Lillian worked at Public Service Company in the billing department and as a clerk at King Soopers. Hugh returned from Korea, and shortly thereafter Lillian and Hugh were married

on Sept.

26, 1954.

Lillian loved her husband H u g h , whom she was married to for Hammond 58 years, and their three sons Greg, David, and Joe and their families. Lillian also adored their seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

Lillian was especially happy to spoil her granddaughters after raising three ornery boys.

Lillian and Hugh were so dedicated to each other that, years ago, they decided to have “together forever” engraved on their headstone. Lillian loved her family so much, she held on for days to pass until she heard from all her grandchildren, and in order to be surrounded by her husband, three sons

and their wives.

Lillian was a wonderful cook and baker, and made sure everyone had more than enough to eat. Lillian prepared food at home, and for school cafeterias, church socials, and fundraising bake sales. She also shared food and snacks at school activities, grandkids’ sporting events, in care packages, with friends and neighbors, and delivered meals-on-wheels with Hugh. Lillian also sorted donated clothes for Mary’s Closet, and washed, dried and mended garments to help those in need. After Lillian’s sons graduated from school, Lillian returned to King Soopers and continued serving others as a cashier until she retired.

Lillian also enjoyed having fun, playing softball, dancing the night away with Hugh, playing cards with the wild ladies’ pinochle group, bowling,

snow tubing with her sons, fishing, camping, and traveling with friends and family.

Lillian was a jewel, a giver, a lover, spiritual, and a foundational role model.

Before Mom left us, she blessed us with a beautiful memory — she opened her eyes one last time so we could gaze into her loving and comforting blue eyes.

We love you, Mom! A visitation was held on Friday, March 23, at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Fort Collins, and was followed by a rosary and the Mass of Christian Burial.

Memorial contributions can be made to Pathways Hospice and the Alzheimer’s Association in care of Allnutt Funeral Service, 650 W. Drake Road, Fort Collins, CO 80526.

Please visit www.allnutt. com to view Lillian’s online obituary, sign the family guest book and send your condolences.

Graveside inurnment services for longtime Cortez resident June Lee Smith will be held at 10 a.m. Monday, March 26, 2012, at the Cortez Cemetery. Pastor Marvin Graves will officiate.

On Sept. 25, 1944, June married Benjamin F. Smith Jr. in Bakersfield, Calif. They enjoyed 63 years of marriage before his death in 2007. June loved working on her home and gardening. In her younger years she enjoyed riding horses.

Cortez city council

Municipal government deserves citizens’ attention

T

he Cortez City Council election is Tuesday, April 3.

Voters who have signed up for permanent mail-in ballots should have received them this week; the rest will have to visit their polling place to choose among the six candidates competing for four seats.

Two of them are incumbents: Tom Butler was elected in 2010, and Karen Sheek was appointed to fill a vacancy in October 2011. Both have earned re-election. They have proven themselves willing to research complex issues and seek information and opinions from citizens. Butler’s perspective from his law-enforcement career and as a retiree who chose to relocate here, and Sheek’s as a retired educator who now owns a business, and as a parent who raised her children here, provide valuable depth to the council. Sheek, especially, is very active in the volunteer community.

The other four candidates have much to contribute as well.

Shauna McLaughlin also has business experience. Currently a branch manager for Mancos Valley Bank, she is in a position to understand the economic forces at work in the area. As a native of the area, she also understands the trajectory of Cortez The issue: history. She is already a member of Municipal the hospital district board.

Dave Chisholm, the owner of Mr. election.

Happy’s, is a relative newcomer who also has built a successful business in Cortez. In this era of political Our opinion: division, it’s refreshing to hear him Butler, Sheek, call himself a peacemaker, although the city council is perhaps less likely and then than some other elected bodies to need those skills. a choice.

Both Ty Keel and Richard Solano have served the city government in various ways, Keel on the parks & rec advisory board and Solano on the golf course advisory board and, more recently, on the Planning and Zoning Commission. That service demonstrates both a willingness to work and an understanding of at least some aspects of city government. Keel, a teacher, has spent most of his life in Cortez; Solano, a federal corrections officer, has lived here for three years.

Current council member Donna Foster is term limited, and Betty Swank, although eligible to run again, also is retiring from the council. They deserve the community’s thanks for their time and energies.

So do all the candidates, including the two who will not win election. Recognizing the value of a well-run city government and being willing to contribute to that effort are evidence of good citizenship.

The city has a history of being run very well. Often the issues facing the council aren’t terribly exciting, and sometimes they seem important only in hindsight, but last year’s recall effort demonstrated (again) that the decisions made by the council are important to the community. Streets and utilities, parks and recreation, growth and zoning, the ability to attract businesses and new residents to the area — all of those roles depend on steering a steady course through dozens of votes that together, shape the future of Cortez. Those are all good reasons for Cortez citizens to vote. Talk to the candidates. Ask hard questions and pay close attention to the answers, and then take responsibility for shaping Cortez .

Funding equipment, training, quick response The Cortez Fire Protection District is requesting a 3.5-mill increase in its funding because we are unable to continue providing our community with the level of service we currently provide with the funds we are receiving.

Four years ago, the chief of the volunteer department came to the board and informed us that we were having great difficulties in providing basic services under the volunteer system. Soon after, the district hired a paid chief to set up a system to ensure a responsive, highly trained and certified, quick-responding fire and rescue service. Today the district has a full time chief, assistant chief and three firemen in the station 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

All of this was done with no increase in funding from the taxpayers in this district, but rather by using some of the reserve funds that were in place and the funds that were being paid to the volunteer department.

The district does currently have ap-

over $1.8 million. The six years I have been on this board, it has increased more than $650,000 dollars. The 2012 budget for the pension fund also shows an increase in value. As for it being underfunded, I would have doubts of that since from the year 2000 to 2008, George McCutcheon was on the board and he voted 3 times to increase the retirement benefit for an additional increase in payout of over $150 per month.

You, the taxpayers of this district, now have a choice to make: to go forward with a more responsive, better trained group of professional firefighters, or return to less. The decision you make is important. It affects all of us. Please do what is best for our community. As a citizen and business owner in this community, please join me in voting “yes” for the 3.5-mill increase.

proximately $1.5 million in reserves that are allocated in four separate funds.

The building improvement fund has a balance of $300,000, the fire equipment fund has a balance of $275,696, the apparatus replacement fund balance is $350,000 (actual cost of a new fire engine is approximately $500,000) and the operational contingency fund is $600,000.

readers write Not knocking volunteers, but times have changed Editor: I have never written a letter to the editor, but as a Montezuma County resident since 1969, I feel compelled to make some comments concerning G.W. McCutcheon’s letter printed in the Journal on Saturday, March 17.

The duties of the fire protection district have changed since it originated over 100 years ago. The residents in our community are currently largely retired people, thus the need for the fire department to have well-trained firefighters/EMTs, paramedics on duty 24/7. Also, I have done some

research concerning operating the large fire truck. The drivers must be certified to operate a truck by a qualified instructor, otherwise in case of an accident where the fire truck were to be involved in a fatal crash, the fire department would be liable.

Personally, I feel more comfortable knowing the fire department is currently known as first responders and have recently been averaging 8 minutes per call outside the city limits. They also are averaging 4 minutes per call inside the city limits. This kind of response was not and could not happen with strictly volunteer firemen.

I certainly am not “knocking” the volunteers as they have all done the best they could, but times have changed, and I feel it is important for the needed mill levy to pass. It does not raise the average household taxes enough that you will even notice it. A $150,000 market value home would only increase our taxes by $41.79 a year. You can go to the fire department and ask for yourself, as I did.

Farm bill partnerships reap many benefits

Ranching and farming is tough business. Families who’ve worked the land for generations to raise our beef or grow our food do so on thin margins. Especially in today’s volatile economy, it’s a struggle for growers to stay economically competitive while remaining good stewards of our state’s land and waters.

That’s why Congress must act swiftly to reauthorize the Farm Bill in 2012. The Farm Bill is one of the nation’s most successful and powerful drivers of on-farm conservation and innovation. More than ever, for producers to reduce risks and remain competitive, they’ve got to make sure they’re operating as efficiently as possible.

But for many farmers and ranchers, investing in new irrigation upgrades — not to mention stream habitat improvements — is often cost-prohibitive.

The Farm Bill’s little-known but highly effective Title II conservation programs—EQIP, AWEP, CCPI and others—play a key role. For more than 75 years, they’ve helped fund

infrastructure modernization and conservation projects that benefit agricultural operations while helping protect stream health and wildlife habitat.

Moreover, in the West where balancing water use and conservation can make for some tough decisions, these projects foster good-faith collaboration among landowners, agencies, conservation groups and other partners and leverage resources in a way that serves diverse needs.

For example, in Delta County near Cedaredge, Trout Unlimited is working with a rancher and the Natural Resource Conservation Service to improve several antiquated diversions that block trout from accessing habitat. The rancher will receive improved operational systems and the fish will get healthy stream flows. It’s a win-win.

In southwestern Colorado, irrigators in the Montezuma Valley and Mancos River areas have used Farm Bill projects for many years to improve on-farm irrigation infra-

Guest Column Don Schwindt Family Farm Alliance Drew Peternell Trout Unlimited structure and to enhance wildlife and stream habitat. The largest part of those farm program dollars has been available as part of the Colorado River Salinity Control Program which has strong support not just in Colorado, but across the other six Colorado River Basin states as well.

With these Farm Bill projects, family-run farms and ranches gain a surer economic footing through more efficient and profitable operations. Wildlife and wetland habitats have been improved and stream flows have been enhanced. Taxpay-

ers get shovel-ready projects that put people to work and improve our food supply. Rural communities are strengthened. What’s not to like?

Farm Bill conservation programs work for America. They grow strong partnerships that address diverse needs, from operational efficiency and cost savings to water quality and food security. And they send a healthy economic ripple through hard-strapped rural communities.

We neglect our nation’s agriculture economy at our own risk. Nationally, the median age of farmers in America has never been higher, and the percentage of farmers under age 50 continues to plummet.

Only 6 percent of our farmers are younger than 35. The next Farm Bill must provide programs and create policies that can attract and retain young farmers for the future of American agriculture.

The 2012 Farm Bill is an opportunity to build on existing Farm Bill successes and bring additional resources to conservation partner-

ships in the Colorado River Basin region. As members of the House and Senate agriculture committees, Rep. Scott Tipton and Senator Michael Bennet have a unique opportunity to ensure Farm Bill programs endure as a wise investment in the future of our rural economy. We applaud Rep. Tipton and Sen. Bennet, along with four other members of the Colorado congressional delegation, for their recent letter expressing strong support for Farm Bill reauthorization. We urge our delegation to continue to show leadership on this critical issue.

Don Schwindt of Cortez is a board member of the Family Farm Alliance, which works to ensure the availability of reliable, affordable irrigation water supplies to Western farmers and ranchers.

Drew Peternell is director of the Colorado Water Project for Trout Unlimited, whose mission is to conserve, protect and restore North America’s coldwater fisheries and their watersheds.

Tracy Porter joins Peyton Manning in Denver ENGLEWOOD (AP) — The Denver Broncos have agreed to terms with freeagent cornerback Tracy Porter, who picked off one of Peyton Manning’s passes in the New Orleans Saints’ win over the Indianapolis Colts in the Super Bowl three years ago.

Now, both will try to win a second Super Bowl together in Denver.

Porter spent his first four seasons in New Orleans, collecting seven

interceptions, 37 pass deflections, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He also started six playoff games, and the highlight of his career is a 74-yard interception return for a TD in the Super Bowl that denied Manning another championship.

Also Thursday, freeagent receiver Andre Caldwell signed with the Broncos 48 hours after Manning’s arrival.

Dove Creek baseball wins first game of season over Utah border rival

By Bobby Abplanalp Journal Sports Editor

Three first inning errors put the Bulldogs behind big.

The Dove Creek baseball team cleaned up its act on the diamond after that.

After trailing Utah rival Monticello 5-0 after two innings, it was all Dove Creek from there.

The Bulldogs hit well and got a complete game on the mound from pitcher Dalton Randolph. Dove Creek scored eight unanswered runs on the way to an 8-6 win in the first game of a doubleheader at McAndrew Field on Wednesday afternoon.

“I was proud of them,” Bulldogs coach Ken Soper said. “I thought we hit the ball good. We hit .321 for a team. That was the least amount of errors we made all year. I was pretty pleased.”

The home doubleheader for the Bulldogs was moved to Cortez, because the diamond in Dove Creek was still covered in snow. Monticello won game two, 11-6.

“Even though we lost the second game, we faced a much faster pitcher,” Soper said. “We did make a few more errors. Still, it was less

The Buckaroos added a run in the top of the seventh, but could get no closer, resulting in the final margin. Randolph pitched a complete game in the win.

“That’s what the team needed after a bad last year,” Soper said. “A win helps their confidence quite a bit.”

Davis and Krafka each hit 3-for-4 with two RBIs. Ogas went 2-for-4 with a RBI. In the second game of the doubleheader, the Buckaroos led throughout to earn a split. It was the opening games to Monticello’s season.

Thanks to loyal following, Tebowmania transcends MARK LONG AP Sports Writer Florida graduate and lifelong Gators fan Mike Beattie followed every development of the Tim Tebow trade. After it finally ended, his wife turned to him and said, “Do we have to start rooting for the Jets?”

“I guess so,” he responded.

And there it is: the definition of Tebowmania.

Many of the same people who adored Tebow during his four years in Gainesville, Fla., followed everything he did in Denver. And now that the quarterback has been traded to the New York Jets, they almost certainly will do the same. Even if it is the hated Jets.

“He transcends cities and teams,” said Randy Echevarria, president of the Jacksonville Beach Gator Club. “It just doesn’t matter to Tebow fans.”

And there are legions of them — and it’s a group that’s ever growing.

His flocks of fans have as much to do with his faith and image as his football skills. A devout Christian, Tebow has been a role model since his days at Florida, when he led the Gators to two national championships and captured the 2007 Heisman Trophy.

Between mission trips overseas, prison ministry, hospital visits, charity work and fan events, Tebow has become one of professional

sport’s most compelling — and polarizing — athletes.

His ardent supporters praise his good deeds and eagerly point out that he has won football games at every level since Pop Warner. He became must-see TV last season while winning seven of his first eight starts, many of them in come-from-behind fashion, and converted nonbelievers.

Sales of his jersey ranked second in the NFL in 2011, behind only league MVP Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers, and could be found at stadiums thousands of miles from Denver. His every move drew attention, none bigger than his sideline prayer that set off the “Tebowing” craze.

But Tebow critics also lurk around every corner, waiting for him to fail. They mocked his unorthodox throwing motion and his paltry completion percentage (46.5), and dissected every in-game facial expression from coach John Fox and executive John Elway.

The bottom line, though, was Tebow got attention from people everywhere.

“He’s humble, works his tail off, is quick with a smile and has a larger-than-life personality,” Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said. “He’s just a good person, and he stands for all the right things.

“Religiously, no matter what side you’re on, you realize he’s a good human being who represents his faith and

his family in the right way. He always represented the Gators in the right way, and he’s a guy that Gator fans will always love.”

No doubt many Broncos fans feel the same way.

Valda Edson, a 13-year-old girl from Parker, Colo., was having trouble dealing with news of Tebow’s departure from Denver. So she decided to write him a letter.

“I don’t know too much about football, but I know for sure you’re an amazing player,” she wrote. “Whichever team you end up on I will root for you. ... I hope you go to a great team and win. I’m so glad you came to the Broncos.

Denver got a taste of Tebow.

Just to let you know, I will always cheer for you. Love you.

I hope to meet you someday.”

With Tebow on the move, fans in Denver are making a last dash for memorabilia.

Eric LaBeaux, who works at Sportsfan in Littleton, Colo., said the sporting goods store sold every remaining Tebow jersey this week.

“It’s amazing,” he said. “I’ve been a Broncos fan since the ‘80s. I’ve watched their good and bad. I wasn’t a huge fan, per se, but I like what he did for the community. In our store, he’s made us a mint.

You don’t get sports guys like that anymore — upstanding.”

He’s going to make money for stores in the Big Apple, too.

At the Jets Shop in midtown Manhattan on Thursday, a steady stream of customers stopped by hoping to

buy Tebow jerseys. The store didn’t have any premade ones yet, so many fans took advantage of a sale on personalized apparel to make their own Tebow jerseys.

And that’s before he had even picked up a playbook.

Amid pressure from fans, Tebow took over as Denver’s quarterback following a 1-4 start last season. He led the Broncos to the playoffs for the first time in six years.

In the postseason, Tebow threw the game-winning touchdown pass on the first play of overtime to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-23.

Denver lost the following week at New England, 45-10.

Although he energized the team, Tebow’s long, looping delivery led to some accuracy issues. And with his eagerness to run, he’s hardly the prototypical pocket passer.

His fans don’t care.

“It’s interesting that people keep saying he can’t play in the NFL and yet teams are lining up to get him,” Echevarria said.

Indeed, Tebow’s hometown Jaguars and the St. Louis Rams showed interest. Many figured he would be lock to land in Jacksonville, where his fame surely would boost sluggish ticket sales and make the team relevant nationally for the first time in five years.

But in the end, Tebow went to the Jets in exchange for fourth- and sixth-round draft picks. The Broncos also received a seventh-rounder in return.

Shorter week would need state approval From Page 1A find an organized fashion to present them to the board,” Brunk said. “But nobody felt like these things were answered at that point.”

School board President Tim Lanier said there was a large amount of frustration in the room.

“It got a little heated, but it was respectful,” Lanier said during a telephone interview Thursday.

Although there was overwhelming feedback in favor of staying on a fourday week, the board decided to go with a five-day schedule, which originally set the grass-roots group in motion.

Brunk said that it’s not just about the five-day week, but the community’s grasp on the information the board uses to base its decisions.

Despite the growing movement that opposes the five-day week, Lanier

said the board’s decision is final.

“The group wants us to change our minds,” Lanier said.“The board is not going to change. We’re already building schedules for next year.”

Not all of the members in the crowd are centered on the four-day week, but many of those who spoke out were, Brunk said on Thursday.

Sheri Noyes isn’t hung on the four-day week, but wants to know where the money will come from.

“Just show us how you can do this,” Noyes said.

“Add another day?”

Noyes said many parents are ready to transfer their children to other districts.

Lanier admitted that board members were able to address some of the group’s concerns, but not all of them.

“We answered some of their questions, and some we didn’t,” he said.

“We’re not getting much

back at this point,” Noyes said.

Lanier said the school district is two years into a five-year plan for improvement, and with little progress with student achievement the district might lose its state accreditation.

Colorado Department of Education Commissioner Robert Hammond would need to approve the fourday week schedule, Lanier said. Based on information the CDE has provided, Hammond’s approval isn’t likely for Re-1.

“There was a lot of dialogue both ways,” Lanier said. “People are frustrated, especially with the high school. We’re just not meeting the state’s expectations.”

Brunk said Montezuma County Advocates for Education asked for a future time to be set to meet again with the board after they have time to consider their views, but it may not be as soon as they would

like.

Few details have been released in the circumstances surrounding Hayes’ death.

Although a public file containing procedural documents surrounding the case is available for viewing, documents detailing the incident remain sealed to the public by judge’s order.

According to documents in the public file, Hampson was treated for a wound to the hand after the incident. Investigators sought Hampson’s medical records to see if the wound on the hand was consistent with a straight-edge razor. The handle of such a razor was found at the scene of the crime, but a blade was not recovered.

The hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday at the 22nd Judicial District Court in Cortez.

In a prior hearing, District Attorney Russell Wasley said it appears Hayes died from a wound to the throat.

A special prosecutor from Denver is assisting the local district attorney’s office in prosecuting the first-degree murder charge.

Baptists sacrifice for 40 days of Lent

By JEFF BRUMLEY The Florida Times-Union JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — At almost 7 feet tall, the Rev. Clifford Johnson admits he likes to eat — a lot.

Except now. Now, Johnson and many members of his Northside Jacksonville church are in the thick of their 40-day Lenten sacrifice of things like TV, soda, Facebook and chocolate.

“It’s hard for me because I am a big guy, and I like to

eat,” said Johnson, a former college and NBA basketball player.

All of that is normal for clergy and lay people participating in Lent, the 40-day sacrificial season designed to prepare Christians for Easter. But there is one fact that makes Johnson and his congregation different from most others observing Lent: They’re Baptists — and theologically conservative ones at that.

Rather than rejecting

Lent as something “too Catholic” or because it isn’t mentioned in the New Testament, Johnson said Zion Hope Missionary Baptist Church recognizes the spiritual value of the season.

“We don’t want Easter to be a one-day event,” Johnson said. “We want people to enjoy the journey so Easter will be more meaningful and powerful in their lives.”

Historically, Lent is associated mostly with the Catholic Church. The practice

dates back centuries and, in part, was viewed as a time to prepare converts for their entry into the church.

The practice was abandoned by many Protestant denominations after the Reformation and remains for many of them an unbiblical practice.

But not by all. Orthodox Christians never rejected Lent, and most Mainline Protestant groups, like the Episcopal and Methodist churches, and some Presby-

Jesus gave love and forgiveness I am a reader. It hasn’t always been that way. But sometime in my senior year of college, I discovered the joy of a good book.

Of course, I have my favorite types of books. I love a good hard-boiled detective novel. I pore over Bible commentaries. I enjoy sports books. Last week, I checked out from the library a historical novel, a fantasy, and a rough, tough cop book, all at the same time. I sometimes worry what the librarians must think of me.

Over the past couple of years, I have especially enjoyed a great many biographies. But I must tell you, I cheat. I always read the last few chapters first. I am curious to see what happened to the horse Seabiscuit. I want to know about the last days of Harry Truman, or FDR or even Babe Ruth.

Just recently I read two books that deal exclusively with the last days of two important figures in American history: Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant.

In “Lee: The Last Years and Grant’s Final Victory,”

The Word Moved Into The Neighborhood Steve Nofel historian Charles Bracelen Flood focuses on how these two formerly bitter opponents both worked for redemption, reconciliation of the country and forgiveness in their last days.

Of course, as we are approaching the celebrations of the last days of Christ on Earth: Good Friday, Easter and Ascension, I cannot help but think about how Jesus’ love, reconciliation and forgiveness, and salvation all came to a climax during his last days.

In fact, I am bold to say that the last days of Jesus Christ is nothing but the story of love, reconciliation and forgiveness, and salvation.

From the triumphal entry we celebrate on Palm Sunday, until his final instruc-

tions to “Go out to all the world,” Jesus was focused totally on our salvation because of his Divine love for us.

He allowed the crowds to proclaim him Messiah.

How could he stop them?

The rocks and stones themselves would have sung out! During that last week in Jerusalem, he taught and demonstrated what the true Messiah — Savior — really is. He taught and healed, he called out hypocrites, he forgave, he loved, and loved some more.

Then at the Last Supper, which we celebrate on Maundy/Holy Thursday, he gave himself to us forever for the forgiveness of sins.

He commanded us forever and always to eat and drink, and remember we are forgiven sinners.

Later that night, when he was desperate for “the cup of suffering to pass” he perfectly obeyed God and allowed himself to be arrested, beaten, and finally led to Calvary.

At the cross on that first Good Friday, he died for us.

In that moment of death, he took upon himself all our iniquities and reconciled humanity with God. He saved us from ourselves.

Then three days later, Jesus made our salvation complete. On the first Easter, he rose from the dead, leading the way for all who believe in him to be saved and raised forever to live with him in glory.

But he didn’t stop there.

The risen Christ stayed around for 40 days before he ascended into heaven. In that time, he taught the disciples and us to go out in his name and teach and baptize and be ministers of healing and reconciliation, and show the world his love.

Those of us who are Christ followers — Christians — must live, not just in our last days, but in all our days like him, for love, reconciliation and forgiveness. We are to follow him and lead others to the Good News of salvation and eternal life in him.

terians, have kept it.

But less known is that some Baptists and other evangelical groups do observe Lent — and many of them have done so for years.

However, sometimes they do so individually.

Jacksonville resident Donteacia Seymore said she has participated in Lent in previous years, even though her Baptist church doesn’t encourage it. Instead, its members usually participate in a “Daniel Fast,” in

Why We Should Pray

I

t is possible to live a virtuous life by simply adhering to the universal rules of morality which every moral philosophy and religion dictates: Be honest, respect other’s property, help each other when they are in need, etc. But it is not possible to live a godly life without prayer,

for without prayer we lack that openness to the experience of God which is required if we are to be true Christians. God’s grace is abundant, but it cannot be given without being asked for; grace must be freely asked for and freely given. This can only happen through sincere and heartfelt prayer. Over and over again we see throughout the Bible that God’s chosen ones come to him on bent knees with prayer and supplication. The godly call upon God in their time of need whereas the godless rely upon their own strength. Prayer, at bottom, is nothing more than a spirit of openness to what God is telling us, but it is also a conversation, with us asking God for help, and thanking Him for his many gifts to us.

“Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.”

Soper will coach Colorado’s South team From Page 1A tez due to snow covering the Bulldogs’ diamond in Dove Creek. Coach Ken Soper and his Bulldogs earned their first win of the season in the doubleheader at Cortez.

Meanwhile, that evening in Dove Creek, when the second game of the double header was going on, the Dolores County School Board met.

A packed crowd of residents filled the Dolores County School Board meeting room to hear a decision on Soper’s coaching fate for the 2012-13 football season. Soper has coached Dove Creek baseball and football for 50 years, 47 as the head man for each sport.

Soper won’t return for a 48th season as head football coach. The board voted 6-1 against Soper in what was called a “personnel issue.”

“I don’t know what they meant — whether they thought that the coach should be from within the school, teaching and that,” Soper said.

“Well, that can’t be it, because if they offer you baseball, it’s the same deal. I don’t know what they mean.”

Linda Yellowman voted in favor of Soper, saying the coach deserved at least one more year due to all his dedicated years of service to the Dove Creek school. Soper’s 305 Colorado high school football victories are two shy of breaking the all-time state record.

Emotional friends, family, and former players and students voiced their opinion on the decision.

“He’s the only coach I ever had in high school,” said Greg

Buffington, who played for and later coached with Soper.

“He probably taught me more about life than he did about sports. He taught me everything I know about sports. The life skills and the coaching experience — I mean, our whole family generation after generation has played for the man.

He’s a family friend.”

Mike Mulligan, whose three sons played football for Soper, also spoke in the coach’s defense.

“I think they’re making a big mistake,” Mulligan said.

“You can’t replace a man like that. He’s dedicated and loyal to this community, and always has been. I’m not saying the coaches coming in aren’t adequate, but they’re not Soper. My grandkids played for Soper. My kids played for Soper. Now he’s not going to be there. It’s just such a disappointment.”

Word reached the longtime coach after the second game against Monticello.

“I wasn’t shocked, because I kind of figured the board would go that way all along, even though they kept postponing it,” Soper said. “Talking to us and that, I just felt we were kind of talking to a blank wall. It didn’t change their decision, and I didn’t think it would. I thought they had their mind made up all along.

It wasn’t a big shock.”

Soper appreciated all the community support.

“To me, that’s one good thing that came out of all this — knowing how much support I have, and knowing now who my really true friends are,” he said.

board member Travis Randolph said Soper can remain the head baseball coach, if he chooses. When asked why Soper would be allowed to coach baseball, but not football, Randolph replied: “It’s a different game.”

Soper met the idea of just coaching baseball with mixed feelings.

“It depends,” he said.

“When I had a meeting with them (the board), I got the impression that I could take it, but it would only be for one year. If it’s just for one year, I don’t know why I want to prolong this for another year.”

Dolores County schools Superintendent Bruce Hankins officially announced DCHS wrestling coach Shane Baughman as the new head football coach. Baughman will be assisted by DCHS track and field coach Jason Fury, and current assistant coach and board member Josh Hankins, who was absent from the meeting. Baughman was a football assistant of Soper’s for 10 years. He has no high school football head coaching experience.

“They put in a head coach that has no (head) experience,” Soper said about Baughman. “He didn’t have time (recently) to be an assistant, but now he’s got time to be a head, which I don’t understand.”

Soper, 73, hasn’t decided if he will take another head

high school football job in Colorado. But the coach will think about it.

“I’ve been a Bulldog for 50 years. It’s tough to be something else,” he said. “At the same time, if they don’t want me, it makes it (a decision) that much easier to go somewhere else.”

Soper is a member of three football halls of fame. The first induction was from the Colorado High School Coaches Association (2001), then the National High School Athletic Coaches Association (2003), and the Colorado High School Activities Association (2008). Soper was named to the second class of the Colorado Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame, also known as the Colorado Dugout (2011). Soper has led the Bulldogs baseball team to two Class A-West state championships in 1975 and ’77. He has won 23 baseball league titles at Dolores County and Dove Creek High School.

Soper will coach the South team in the Colorado All-State 6-man/8-man North-South football game in June at Otero Junior College in La Junta. He will coach Dove Creek senior Chance Johnson’s final game.

It is the 11th time Soper has been selected to coach a Colorado All-State game in both 11- and 8-man football.

Senate targets war on drugs

judge

Cortez FFA earns 4th place From Page 1A “We evaluate other people’s animals, and we give a set of reasons of how we evaluated them. And we’re being evaluated,” Cox said during the contest March 16 at the Montezuma County Fairgrounds.

“It’s a fun contest.”

Students are divided by age. Juniors are ages 8 to 13 years old, and seniors are 14 to 18 years old. The young animal scientists form small teams to examine heifers, swine, sheep, bulls and steers.

They had three minutes for each kind of animal, looking for things like market value or quality of leanness. As part of the competition rules, they judge in silence.

Beth LaShell is a professor of animal science at Fort Lewis College in Durango who also works with Colorado State University. She said the competition is a good way to introduce students to improving organizational skills and public speaking as well as learn about agriculture.

“We’ve worked with kids that struggled in school and after learning to be more organized and take notes and have a time frame to so something, then we see improvement,” LaShell said. “There’s a little independence. No one is helping them and they’re making their own decisions, and I like that independence part of it.”

The seniors even dress their best, sporting ties and blazers or dresses with cowboy boots.

“I think they act a little different when they’re in blazers,” LaShell said.

According to LaShell, Montezuma and La Plata counties team up for competitions, and have for nearly 20 years.

She also said there are significant scholarship opportunities that can be awarded for livestock judging.

“The scholarships are very important, and we try to get scholarships to the kids,” LaShell said. “There are a lot of junior colleges too, so just like playing volleyball or basketball or anything else, there are programs that put them through school.”

Montezuma-Cortez High School agricultural science teacher Amanda Ramos agreed. She also said the students are getting valuable

Journal Denver Bureau DENVER — Politicos from the left and right moved Wednesday to reduce sentences for narcotics possession, saying the country needs a new approach to the war on drugs.

“Most people — left, right, center — recognize that we’re not winning the war on drugs,” said Sen. Shawn Mitchell, R-Broomfield.

Mitchell is one of four sponsors of Senate Bill 163, introduced Tuesday.

It would reduce the charges for possession of less than four grams of most drugs from a class 6 felony to a misdemeanor. Simple possession of more than four grams would be reduced from a class 4 felony to a class 6, bringing shorter sentences.

Methamphetamine possession would have a lower threshold of 2 grams to qualify as a misdemeanor, because the drug is so addictive and such a societal problem, said Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, another one of the sponsors.

The House sponsors are Rep. Claire Levy, D-Boulder, and Rep. Don Beezley, R-Broomfield. The four rank among the ideological leaders of their parties, and they said they expect the bill to pass and be signed into law.

A study by the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition showed that 60 percent of people doing time on drug charges were sentenced for possession, at a cost of nearly $10 million per year.

The bill directs any savings from prison costs to go into drug treatment programs.

Democratic sponsors said that the war on drugs has saddled too many people with felony convictions, which Steadman called “a sentence to life without employment.”

“Addiction is something a person can overcome.

Felony convictions are much more difficult to deal with. We don’t need to keep on making more people into felons,” Steadman said.

Attorney General John Suthers has not taken a position on SB 163.

“I think they’re getting skills they can use no matter what,” Ramos said. “Communication is highly desired, and this is just another way for them to practice that and develop confidence while speaking in public.”

Ramos added that livestock judging is a good way to build a foundation for agriculture.

One of Ramos’ students, Landin Wilson, said the hardest part for him is to memorize his reasons, but it was a good learning experience for

him. He said he’ll never look at livestock the same.

Occupational therapists help people move Many people are aware of the benefits of physical therapy, in part because it’s so widely used to help patients recover from a variety of injuries and many surgeries, including knee and hip replacements which are both very common in our aging population. But there is another type of rehabilitation therapy that has been around for almost 100 years and it’s widely used to help individuals regain and maintain their independence.

“Occupational therapy began in the early years of World War I,” said Gloria Thatch-Woody, a registered occupational therapist at Southwest Memorial Hospital. “Back then they were called reconstructive aides and helped servicemen recover using craft activities to help get their injured parts moving again,” said Gloria.

April is National Occupational Therapy month.

Practitioners of this type outhwest of rehabilitation — commonly referred to as ealth otes OTs — are educated and trained for at least four years. Many hold master’s and doctoral degrees. OT assistants hold associate degrees.

“We provide customized treatment programs to improve the ability of individuals to conduct their daily living activities,” Gloria said. “The ultimate goal is to maximize independence. That’s the bottom line for everything we do.”

Occupational therapists were instrumental in moving the Americans with Disability Act forward back in 1990. The profession is practiced worldwide.

In her role as an OT, Gloria works with patients who have suffered work-related and sports-related injuries.

“We help people who have had injuries like fractures or sprains of the hand or arm, and we also see patients who have carpal tunnel syndrome from working on the computer for long periods,” she said.

Older people who suffer significant falls often are prescribed OT by their doctors.

“They get up to go to the bathroom at night and become disoriented and fall,” she said.

One service that Gloria can provide outside the hospital are in-home evaluations designed to help prevent accidents such as this, and also to show people how to adapt their environment to ensure that they maintain their independence.

“People are happier in their familiar environment,” she said. “We can teach them how to use a walker in the home, using a basket on the front of it so they can cook their breakfast, put the food in the basket, and roll it to the table or sofa to eat.”

Occupational therapy also can help someone who has been in an accident, is recovering from major surgery, has severe arthritis, or who has had a stroke or other neurologic event that has diminished ability to regain the skills to feed themselves, get dressed without assistance, and attend to personal hygiene.

“Just imagine having to wait for someone to come feed or dress you. The goal is always the same: function and independence to live life to its fullest,” Gloria said.

With patients who are recovering from strokes, part of the goal of occupational therapy is to encourage the brain to heal.

“Stroke patients sometimes can’t see out of one eye, but the eye is fine. It’s the brain that doesn’t work correctly,” Gloria said.

Exercises that retrain the brain can help them regain their ability to use both eyes.

Macular degeneration is another common vision problem in the elderly, and occupational therapists assist patients in figuring out what aids they need to remain as independent as possible, even with very limited eyesight.

“We use table magnifiers and larger items and bright colors to help them compensate,” Gloria said.

‘Loner’s Clan’ Journal/Sam Green

Dolores teen Suzanna Fitzgerald publishes 1st book

By Reid Wright Journal Staff Writer

Just days before her 19th birthday, Suzanna Fitzgerald spent the day at the Cortez Public Library signing copies of her first published novel, “Loner’s Clan,” which she started writing two years before.

“It’s a fun book,” Fitzgerald said. “It’s about people and relationships as well as excitement and mysterious worlds. It’s meant to lift people up when they read it and feel inspired about the world, not dragged down.”

A fantasy/adventure story, the 332 page novel was

written for young adults, but can be enjoyed by older readers as well, Fitzgerald said.

The book is about a band of shapeshifters, or “loners” who rescue a community of refugees from an oppressive empire.

“The loners find this band of dying villagers and they decide that they are going to save them and take them even deeper north into the mountains where nobody’s ever gone before,” she said.“They have some trouble at first because they think differently and kind of get on each other’s nerves a bit. They end up meshing together, working

it out, taking a stand, deciding they have to fight the Empire.”

Fitzgerald said she drew inspiration for characters names from studying the Gaelic language.

The novel is the first in a two-part series. Fitzgerald said she is already part way through writing the sequel.

The author said she has numerous story ideas in her mind and has written a dozen books — “Loner’s Clan” being the first to be published.

Initially rejected by a publisher on another book, Fitzgerald said she found a friend in Tate Publishing, which caters to new au-

thors.

Fitzgerald recently moved to Dolores from Holbrook, Ariz., where she was homeschooled on a ranch.

At the age of 6, Fitzgerald won a writing contest for her age class, the author’s father, Mike Fitzgerald said.

“She knew words came out of books when she was little,” he said. “She learned to read, and she just knew she wanted to write.”

The book is available online through the publisher’s website: www.tatepublishing.com.

Rico tulips arrive with spring Hello, dear readers! The storm is over and I am sitting near a warm, sunny window. The scene outside is a brilliant white with that San Juan blue sky.

We received, unofficially, less than a foot of snow. Last Sunday it was wintertime again and we watched the howling wind blowing the snow at a sideways angle. But all is well. The snowstorm gave us close to an inch of precipitation, because it was heavy and wet.

Our tulip heads are peeking out of the snow to announce that Tuesday, March 20, was the first day of spring.

Good news! The Dolores County School Board determined that it will be possible to keep our elementary school open this coming year. That is a biggie. Hereafter, the situation (student numbers, etc.) will be evaluated yearly, as usual, to keep the school open.

We as a community love our sweet school, and it means a great deal to us that we have children that need this establishment.

Southwest Open School has won The Salvation Army 2011 Bell Ringing Challenge. For several years, The Salvation Army has presented a traveling trophy to the group or organization that put in the most Bell Ringing hours. In 2010 we presented a challenge to the Southwest Open School. We asked them to compete against the other organizations already participating in our bell ringing campaign. We did not have high hopes, as we were asking teenagers to give of their time! These students not only participated; they went above and beyond. This left us wondering how to challenge the SWOS students as they presented their own challenge with their “We will show you” attitude. Showing us that they are not just teenagers, but young adults showing pride

in their school.

In 2011 The Salvation Army brought this challenge to the Cortez Middle School. This challenge had brothers Dilton Padilla (SWOS) and Dyllan Padilla (CMS) competing against each other. The students at CMS took the challenge with the same drive and determination and once again showed us that students can make a difference. Although CMS did not win, they put in a lot of hours and did come close to winning the trophy.

We would also like to acknowledge the students from Dolores that gave of their time and thank everyone who participated in our bell ringing campaign. Your time and efforts are greatly appreciated. We hope to see you again this year.

Fiftyfour of our cases were new ... representing 129 people who have never come to the Good Samaritan Center before. Many cried in relief. One elderly gentleman cried just to have someone to talk to as his wife is dying of cancer. Medicine has eaten his food. Fifteen had their job hours cut back.

Nine were laid off. Eleven have had their wages garnished because of overdue school loans or medical bills. One fellow owns his own construction business.

Two were teachers. “Who is my neighbor?” Ever wonder about that? One little boy insisted his mother come to the center for food.

The school had a food drive and he knew where the food was going.

So, we had 237 family cases representing 879 people, and 81 single cases (people living alone). Since the beginning of 2012 we have given out approximately $26,720 in food.

Fire academy Trot out healthy turkey tetrazzini learns lessons

By ALISON LADMAN

For The Associated Press

By JOANNA DODDER NELLANS The Daily Courier

PRESCOTT, Ariz. — Kneeling beside the body of one of the firefighters who perished in Arizona’s 1990 Dude wildfire, the legendary late Paul Gleason made a promise to help prevent such deaths in the future.

Gleason, a Zigzag Hotshot crew superintendent at the time, then came up with a simple acronym that every trained wildland firefighter in this country knows and remembers today. LCES stands for lookouts, communication, escape routes and safety zones.

Lookouts watch out for wildfire behavior changes, communication lets firefighters on the ground know about approaching hazards, and escape routes help firefighters get away from dangerous situations and into safety zones.

To honor the Prescottbased Arizona Wildfire and Incident Management Academy’s 10th year of passing on such lessons, the academy is placing a special emphasis on “Lessons Learned” this year and embarking on its own strategic plan for the future.

Academy coordinator Tony Sciacca said he came up with the “Lessons Learned” idea because it’s also the 10th anniversary of the creation of the Wildland Fire Lessons Learned Center in Tucson.

“I wanted something meaningful this year, and I wanted to remind young firefighters that people have made the ultimate sacrifice,” Sciacca said.

Academy Incident Commander Pete Gordon and Sciacca, both veteran wildland firefighters from Prescott, have learned many lessons throughout their long wild-

land firefighting careers.

Unfortunately, Sciacca was present on that fateful June 26, 1990, day when six members of the Perryville state prison firefighting crew made the ultimate sacrifice in the Dude Fire a day after it ignited near Payson.

The Prescott Hot Shots and Sciacca, their foreman who was training as a safety officer, were among the eight crews in Walk Moore Canyon fighting the blaze near the Perryville crew that day.

Firefighters on the line had noted a few raindrops. Then came a strange calm right before the downburst hit and a fireball rolled into the canyon, fueled by 40- to 60-mph winds.

Firefighters ran for their lives on the line of cleared vegetation created by a bulldozer, their designated escape route. Some of the Perryville crew members were unable to outrun the flames.

They deployed their fire shelters, but some still died.

A Central Yavapai Fire District water tender also was at the bottom of the canyon and got out just in time.

Cliff Pearlberg, the state’s agency representative on the Dude Fire who now is a public information officer for state fire, said he remains haunted by the deaths. He remembers stopping his vehicle to cool his face with water from the creek when the fire weather changed.

“I learned that when you feel the air go still and you feel a couple raindrops and it just don’t feel right, look out,” Pearlberg said. “Look out. Check your weather. Talk to someone who can see the fire.”

Thankfully, wildland firefighting lessons usually come from much less tragic circumstances than the Dude fire.

Foodies probably don’t like to admit it, but nearly everyone loves a good casserole.

Trouble is, casseroles don’t have a lot of love for healthy diets. Especially when you reach back to the `60s, an era of classic casseroles — like turkey tetrazzini — that were made all the more delicious with the help of gobs of heavy cream, butter and cheese.

So without sacrificing the “creamy” comfort of the dish, we set out to make a delicious casserole minus the guilt.

As with traditional versions of this dish, we started out with leftover turkey. Be sure to use the leaner turkey breast and trim off any skin or fat. If you don’t happen to have cooked turkey handy, a rotisserie turkey breast or chicken from the grocer are fine.

We also kept the mushrooms, though we opted for fresh ones over the canned variety favored back in the day.

We threw in some chopped red bell pepper and chopped asparagus, too. Color in vegetables adds more than just eye appeal; different colors are indicative of different nutrients.

So the more color, the better.

But the real heavy hitters in this casserole are the white pasta, cream sauce and cheese.

The pasta was an easy fix.

Associated Press/Matthew Mead

A plate of Turkey Tetrazzini casserole is shown.

Using whole-grain pasta adds lots of fiber and nutrients. The cream sauce was another matter. We used fat-free half-andhalf as our base, but you also could substitute fat-free evaporated milk. Thickened up to a creamy consistency, without the use of half a stick of butter, we were off to a good start.

Lastly, instead of using a cup or more of shredded cheese, we used just a bit of assertive Parmesan. Then we topped it all off with seasoned panko breadcrumbs for a nice crunch.

TURKEY TETRAZZINI Start to finish: 45 minutes (30 minutes active) Servings: 8 12 ounces whole-grain

spaghetti, broken into 2-inch pieces 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced 1 clove garlic, chopped Salt and ground black pepper 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces 1 red bell pepper, cored and diced 2 teaspoons onion powder, divided 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika, divided 1/4 cup dry sherry 3 cups cubed cooked turkey breast 2 cups fat-free half-and-half 3 tablespoons instant flour (such as Wondra) 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley Heat the oven to 400 F. Coat a large casserole dish with cooking spray.

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the mushrooms and garlic, then season with salt and black pepper. Saute until the mush-

rooms are well browned and release all their liquid, about 10 minutes. Add the asparagus and red pepper and cook for another 4 minutes.

Stir in 1 teaspoon of the onion powder, 1 teaspoon of the paprika and the sherry. Cook for 1 minute, then remove from the heat. Add the turkey and set aside.

In a small saucepan over low heat, bring the half-and-half to a simmer. Whisk in the instant flour, then bring to a boil. Cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the Parmesan.

Season with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, stir together the panko, garlic powder, parsley, remaining 1 teaspoon of onion powder and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of paprika.

To assemble the casserole, stir the cooked spaghetti and the cream sauce into the skillet with the turkey and vegetables.

Spoon this mixture into the prepared casserole dish, then sprinkle the seasoned panko over it. Spritz the top of the panko crumbs with cooking spray and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden.

help

OT field grows rapidly From Page 1B Occupational therapy is used with individuals who have mental health and behavioral issues. Patients who suffer from schizophrenia, manic depression and Alzheimer’s disease are offered exercises designed to help them focus on a single activity.

“Sometimes it’s something as simple as a coloring book or a puzzle. We have them do activities with another person if they tend to be isolated in their own minds,” Gloria said, adding that patients who have post-traumatic stress benefit from learning to think about something other than their own fear.

Gloria recommends many types of adaptive devices

Woody when needed. In addition to helping individuals choose the right type and size wheelchair or scooter, she often suggests simple devices that make a big difference such as a curved spoon and a bowl

that’s specially designed to help people with limited upper body ability feed themselves. A long arm gripper is another commonly used device.

“I use one myself to reach items on high shelves in the kitchen at my home,” said Gloria, who added that many of the devices in use today were designed by people with disabilities.

Occupational therapy is a rapidly growing field and a rewarding one, too.

“I’ve been an OT for 32 years, and what nourishes me is never on my paycheck,” Gloria said. “It’s the relationship I’m permitted to have with the people I work with. Seeing them get better when many of them didn’t have any hope and

were afraid of being totally dependent on other people — that’s what drives me.”

Occupational therapy requires a doctor’s order, and is covered by most insurance plans and by Medicare for a certain number of treatments. Gloria will be at the 9 Health Fair in Cortez on Saturday, April 21, and community members are invited to stop by her booth with questions.

Know the symptoms of ovarian cancer Editor’s Note: Hundreds of Ann Landers’ loyal readers have requested that newspapers continue to publish her columns. These letters originally appeared in 1999.

Classic Ann Landers

Dear Ann Landers: I feel compelled to respond to the letter from “M.J. in Sarasota,” who decided to have a hysterectomy to make absolutely certain she would never get ovarian cancer. She still needs to be careful. I was diagnosed with fibroid tumors in 1988. Even though there was no family history of ovarian cancer, I decided not to take any chances and had a complete hysterectomy.

Eight years later, I was shocked to discover I had Stage III ovarian cancer. Many women do not realize that malignant cells in the ovaries can spread through the surrounding tissue. Even if the ovaries are removed, ovarian cancer can still develop elsewhere. It is important to continue watching for signs of the disease. I am enclosing a list of the symptoms of ovarian cancer, and I hope you will print it for all the women in your reading audience. -- Shirley in Orlando, Fla.

Non Sequitur

Dear Shirley: Thank you for educating my readers today. According to the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance, a national education and advocacy organization, ovarian cancers occur in one out of 55 women at any age. Most women are diagnosed when the chance for survival for five years is about 20 percent. Early detection improves survival rates. Symptoms are subtle at first but become more persistent and identifiable as time goes on.

Any woman who experiences the following symptoms for more than two or three weeks should see her doctor and ask for a combination pelvic/rectal exam, a CA-125 blood test and a transvaginal sonogram:

-- Bloating, a feeling of fullness or gas.

-- Frequent or urgent urination.

-- Nausea, indigestion, constipation or diarrhea.

-- Menstrual disorders or pain during intercourse.

-- Fatigue or backaches.

Blondie

For more information on ovarian cancer, contact the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance, P.O. Box 33107, Washington, D.C. 20033 (www.ovariancancer.org), or assess your risk at the Women’s Cancer Network website (www.wcn.org). For a free brochure, call the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition at 1-888-OVARIAN (www.ovarian.org).
