I know people who eat them like candy and go for the 1,000 mg tablets by prescriptions.

According to drug authorities, taking these pills can increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes and heart failures. They are called NSAIDS and no matter who you are, the evidence is mounting that taking them in excess over an extended period of time can be dangerous to your health.

The risk can run from 10 percent for usage or up to a 50 percent risk for the stronger dosages. They can also cause stomach bleeding, so just be careful of what and how many of these little pills one takes.

They don’t say anything about coffee consumption, and every casino has an abundance of complimentary coffee to warm our minds, bodies and hearts. The verdict is uncertain about coffee, whether it is good or bad for one’s health, but drinking it for more than 50 years, I have seen no harmful side effects.

Central City Nuggets

Going Green

Quiz: How green are you?

We may think that we are doing our part to protect our environment and save Mother Earth, but just how green are we actually? Making more green choices should be our goal.

Every green step we take to honor the earth and each other is worthwhile.

Take the quiz to test your greenness.

1. Do I try to repair instead of replace?

Whether it’s a piece of clothing or a broken household item, do you do our best to extend its life by repairing it?

2. Do I borrow and lend? You may call it simple neighborliness to borrow and lend. There’s simply no reason to buy, store and maintain our own infrequently used household items. When was the last time both you and your neighbor needed a posthole digger or folding chairs at the same time?

3. Do I shop for used items? There have been times when buying good quality used items was not possible, but now there are thrift stores, garage sales and consignment shops where one can purchase quality, slightly-used merchandise. Also consider buying used items from ebay.com and Amazon.com or looking for used things locally on Craigslist.com. If you can avoid buying many new things, that‘s a green win for your wallet, your home and the environment. Think of the energy and materials saved by buying used instead of new.

4. Have I learned to be creative and recycle my old things into new uses? Upcoming holiday craft shows present a wonderful opportunity to see how others have created beautiful jewelry, household and yard decor from old discarded things. It’s also a great place to purchase one-of-a-kind gift items that will be appreciated for their fine craftsmanship and uniqueness.

October 6 - 19, 2015

5. Do I safely dispose of hazardous household wastes? Old paints, chemical cleaners, prescription drugs, overthe-counter medicines, motor oil and electronic equipment should not be thrown in a trashcan or flushed into the sewer.

Most communities offer drug take-back programs—check with your local pharmacy. Find local stores or recycling centers in your area that will accept and dispose of these hazardous wastes.

5. Do I examine my needs vs. my wants? So often the urge to buy the latest electronic gadget or something new is just a fleeting impulse. Ask yourself, “Do I really need these things? “ If so, perhaps you can find a good used version instead and kill that gotta-have-it-now desire that causes harmful carbon footprints.

6. Do I make green food choices that help save the environment and also my heath? Eating less meat and more whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables may help your health as well as the environment.

Growing the animals for butchering requires lots of valuable food, water and energy. Buying seasonal food from a farmer’s market helps reduce costs of shipping and packaging. Be selective and buy organic foods that ordinarily would have the highest chemical loads. No need to buy organic if the fruits and vegetables have a thick protective skin or rind which blocks out harmful pesticides.

22 receive one chair for every 1,200 points earned, up to three chairs.

$1000

7. Do I recycle or donate nolonger-used items, like eyeglasses, clothes, and furniture? Many optical companies have a donation box where you can toss in your old eyeglasses for recycling for the poor. Call a local charity if you want someone to pick up your large donations.

Hopefully, you scored well on saving energy, reducing waste, and living moderately to preserve our planet for present and future generations.

In fact, just a few years ago, a group of ghost hunters waited for the phantom to appear on Halloween night and chased the woman into the woods where she disappeared into the ether.

No one seems to know why the mysterious mourner comes to visit on April 5 or how it is possible that she faithfully makes these bi-annual visit—even after 130 years.

Trail’s End

Columbus Day still inspires controversy Colorado was the first to make Columbus Day a state holiday

Over the past few years, controversy over Columbus Day in the United States has escalated to the point where some cities and even states have changed the name of the holiday to Indigenous People Day. Perhaps the most ignored holiday on the calendar, when it is noticed at all, Columbus Day nevertheless inspires mixed feelings. Many of us who grew up in less enlightened times still have nostalgic memories about the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria and sailing across the ocean blue with Columbus in 1492. Others, not so much.

Granted, Columbus is hardly an appropriate role model for children.

Yes, he was a man of his times, but that’s hardly an excuse. He took hundreds of slaves, tortured and murdered natives and stole their gold.

Even his followers hated him. When he finally reached the mainland on his third voyage (he first landed in the Bahamas and never set foot in the United States) he built a settlement in what is today Venezuela.

After vigorous protests by his own colonists, the Crown sent him back to Spain in chains, taking away his authority, titles and a large chunk of pilfered loot. Although he regained some of his wealth, his honors were never

restored.

Misguided to the end, he died believing he had discovered a shorter route to Indonesia,

By Rosemary Fetter which a felcallieanne_9@msn.com low Italian named Magellan disproved not long after.

Even so, the holiday really has little to do with the man himself. Before the 1920s, a feminized Columbia was a symbol of U.S. independence and freedom from foreign rule, an answer to Great Britain’s Britannica. Many states have cities named Columbus, and the U.S. capital is the District of Columbia. Although some critics might maintain that Columbus set a precedent, making him an appropriate American icon, the explorer has been a part of our national heritage since the beginning.

As early as 1792, New York City held the first official Columbus Day Parade. At the request of prominent Italian-Americans, F.D.R. declared Columbus Day a national holiday in 1937 and Nixon created a federal holiday in 1971 Italian American immigrants, whose assimilation into this country was never smooth, saw Columbus as an inspiration. More than 5.3 million followed him to the New World before

Columbus “discovering” the New World, a popular image that has been debunked by revisionist historians.

1978, most of them between 1900 and 1920.

When Italy became a nation in 1870, a mass exodus from the southern regions followed. As northern Italy became the center of government, implementing laws favoring northern economic expansion, heavy burdens were placed on the agricultural south.

In one of history’s greatest migrations, the country’s population was reduced by one-third as emigrants scattered around the globe, most of them to North and South America.

In Colorado, the first Italians in

the region were Charles and Antonio Garbarino, two brothers from Genoa who joined an 1859 caravan of goldseekers and later settled in Golden and Georgetown. In 1872, Sicilian sulfur miners began moving into the gold camps of Central City, Black Hawk and Georgetown, and a decade later into the coalfields of northern and southern Colorado. Between 1880 and 1895, thousands came west to work on the railroads, the vast majority unskilled laborers from the provinces of Calabria, Sicily and Basilica. Some entered the country under the infamous “padrone” system and became virtual slaves to their sponsors. Nearly one in four immigrants eventually returned to Italy, while some spent the rest of their lives in the United States without ever learning to speak English.

Although many immigrants strayed no further west than Chicago, a large contingent moved west, where they were more easily accepted since just about everyone was a newcomer. In Colorado, miners imported as cheap, disposable labor became a threat when they began organizing for an eight hour workday and safer working conditions. Italians figured prominently in the state’s bitter labor wars during the early part of the Twentieth Century.

By 1910, 40,000 Italians represented nearly 14 percent of Colorado’s population, making them the largest foreign-born group next to the Germans. Many worked in the steel mills of Pueblo, where in 1907, the first Columbus Day Parade in the nation was held. That same year, Colorado became the first state to make Columbus Day a legal holiday.

In Denver, truck farmers originally

settled in the South Platte River Bottoms, then in North Denver and Highlands. Farmers disposed of their fresh fruits and vegetables at the City market, located on the banks of Cherry Creek between Arapahoe and Welton streets. North Denver was known as “Little Italy” until the 1940s, when the community began to disburse.

The first Italian Denverites were Maria and Angelo Capelli, northern Italians who operated a saloon and boarding house known as the Highland House at 15th and Platte. When Colorado officially instituted Columbus Day, Denver Italian-Americans staged a gala celebration organized by the Capellis.

The city’s Columbus Day dispute dates back to 1990, when the Federation of Italian American Organizations announced plans to revive the march after three decades. Following protests by members of the American Indian Movement of Colorado in 1991, the parade was cancelled until 2000.

Over the last 15 years, demonstrations (most of them peaceful) have varied in intensity. In 2007, police arrested 83 Columbus Day Parade protesters, including American Indian Movement activist Russell Means, after fake blood and dismembered baby dolls were poured along the parade route.

Subsequent protests have been more peaceful.

This year’s parade starts on Oct. 10 at 10 a.m., with several hundred marchers expected to participate.

Floats, bands and dancing groups gather to celebrate what has been called ‘the highlight of Colorado Italian Heritage Month.” Perhaps the controversy would be diffused if it was renamed the Italian Heritage Parade.

color. The traditional cut for the stone is the cabochon, that is, a soft, round cut which minimizes damage to the stone and highlights the gorgeous color.

Mexican Fire Agate has a redbrick to brown base with a beautiful color play (reds, purple, gold, greens and blues) similar to opal. The colors are in thin bubble-like layers that are incased in the agate. The colors result from interference between light rays traveling through these thin layers (we see the same effect when looking at the rainbow colors at the surface of an oily puddle of water). The fire agate seems to glow inside like an opal. The fire agate is found mostly in the American Southwest and Mexico.

In ancient times the beauty and durability of agate prompt man to use it in both practical and ornamental forms. it was believed that agate had unique properties that protected the wearer from dangers and promoted strength and healing. It is believed that it can remove curses and spells and helps to eliminate bad luck. Many believe that agate has a calming effect during times of stress.

Artists and writers have used this agate to enhance creativity.

The word “agate” comes from the Greek name for a stone originally found in the Achates River in Sicily. Agate is the birthstone for the Zodiac sign of Gemini. Mexican fire agate is mined in Calvillo and Chihuahua, Mexico.

The word “opal” was derived from the Roman word “opalus” “to see a change of color.” The opal was popularized around 100 BC and prized above all other precious gemstones believing the holder to be charmed with good fortune. Some say that the Mexican fire opals bestow courage, stamina, willpower and energy to the wearer. Their force, it is said, disperses old, long outdated effects on the psyche and conveys a profound sensation of warmth, peace and harmony. This fire opal is the lucky stone of those born under the sign of Aries.

Play of color, body color and transparency are the three criteria, which determine the price of the fire opal. The more transparency and “fire” it has, and the more intense the deep red of its body color, the more valuable it will be. The rarest and thus the most highly esteemed, is the intense red-orange fire opal from Mexico with its strong play of

It is in Mexico that the finest fire opal deposits in the world are found. The rock strata containing these opals runs through the Mexican highlands, with many extinct volcanoes. Mexico and Brazil are the two primary sources for the fire opal, although deposits of them do exist in other nations as well. Several beautiful specimens are kept in the National Museum of Mexico. Several years ago in an agate mine in Southern Brazil, fire opals colored yellow to orange were discovered. They distinguished themselves by their beautiful color and the sheer size of the raw stones - some of them as big as a man’s fist. The fire opal is mined in open-pit mines and exported all over the world, with some mines also cutting and polishing their raw stock while others send it to market

Mexican Fire Opal are unique opals are also called “cherry opals” because of their orangy-red color and play of fiery colors throughout. They are some of the few opals that can be faceted. The Mayas and Aztecs loved these gemstones and liked to use them in mosaics and for ritualistic purposes.

They called this opal “quatzalipyollitli,” the “stone of the bird of paradise.” Yet, one day, the gemstone knowledge of Mexico’s natives, which had been handed down from generation to generation, somehow disappeared until the year 1835 when the fiery treasures hidden in he Mexican highlands were remembered. Work was gradually started again on the mining of these opals. Today the fire opal is regarded as the national gemstone of Mexico.
