Quail Run Sports in Kiowa offers longer ranges

By Ben Wiebesiek [email protected]

The Elbert County 4-H Shooting Sports Program competes in a variety of events that require different courses for their practice sessions.

But recently completed renovations at a Kiowa facility will allow the 4-H group to practice at one place.

The Colorado Firearms Training School announced Feb. 7 the comple-tion of improvements to the school’s training facility at Quail Run Sports.

John Kuhl, owner of Colorado Fire-arms Training School, said he is happy to instruct the 4-H members, and he believes they will benefi t from the reno-vations.

“Before we can actually start compet-ing and trying to get the kids to shoot at competition level, we have to get their rifl es zeroed, making sure that they’re exactly tuned in to the 100 yards, which is where the kids need to be shooting at,” Kuhl said. “The improvements are going to greatly improve the shooting sports program because we’ve been hav-ing to travel from one place to do some classroom coaching and to do some minor sighting in, and then traveling to a different range to do the long-range stuff. So now we can do all at one loca-tion.”

Kuhl said the process of upgrading the facility took a year and a half.

“That’s including the planning and

Kathy Weber says lung cancer is not a ‘smokers’ disease’

By Shanna Fortier [email protected]

Kathy Weber is setting out to change the image of lung cancer.

“It’s not a smokers’ dis-ease anymore,” she said. “Anyone with lungs can get lung cancer.”

She should know: The physically active Kiowa wife and mother, a lung cancer survivor, never smoked.

According to the Inter-national Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast and prostate cancers combined. One of the least-researched cancers, Weber hopes that by sharing her story she can help raise money for study of the disease.

Experts say research is critical because doctors often fi nd lung cancer in later stages when it is less treatable. New advances can hold great promise for

screening, early detection and personalized therapies.

Weber, 48, a neonatal nurse practitioner, was training for a fi gure body-building competition in the spring of 2014 when her shoulder started hurting. The pain made it diffi cult for her to do push-ups. She

went to her physical thera-pist, John Graham, who when he couldn’t fi nd any-thing wrong suggested a chest X-ray and ultrasound of her lymph nodes.

“I thought he was cra-zy,” Weber said. “I felt great and was back to training hard ... ”

But she trusted Graham, so she went for the scans.

“I was a healthy, very ac-tive, nonsmoking female with no family history, who thought she had a tumor in her chest because her PT said so,” Weber said.

This photo has special meaning to Weber because her aunt also is a lung cancer survivor. “For us both to be standing there is a blessing,” Weber said. Courtesy photo

Hilltop neighborhood would include 54 lots if rezoning is approved

By Chris [email protected]

Nearly 450 people near a proposed 256-acre development on the eastern edge of Douglas County have signed an online pe-tition urging the Douglas County commis-sioners to reject a rezoning request, saying they fear losing their way of life.

“This is being done so a few developers can make large profits without regard for land and water preservation and the local citizens,” said Tina Huston, who lives near the proposed development and is helping lead the opposition.

CJ Kirst, who works for Tahoe Consult-ing LLC and is representing the project on behalf of Derrick Myers of Parker-based 303 Investments LLC, said his client de-clined to comment.

The application for what’s being called

the “Hilltop” development — submitted by 303 Investments LLC in July — requests the rezoning of 256 acres from an “agricul-tural-1” designation to “rural residential.” If approved, the proposal would create 54 separate lots for new housing due north of the intersection of Hilltop Road/County Road 158 and Delbert Road.

The Douglas County Board of County Commissioners was originally supposed to consider approval of the proposal March 8, but the developer has asked for a continu-ance until April. The date for the Douglas County Planning Commission meeting to review the proposal was changed from Feb. 8 to April 4, said Kati Rider, a community development planner for the county.

A “rural residential” designation would allow for a density of one home for every five acres of land.

Those who have signed the petition say they are concerned about an increase in traffic, possible depletion of groundwater resources, the plan’s perceived incompat-ibility with the county’s comprehensive master plan and overdevelopment of land.

Rider said she does not know the pro-posed construction timeline. If rezoning is approved, the “next step would be for them to submit a subdivision preliminary plan for review by the county,” she said of the developer.

A community meeting Dec. 30 at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center drew 15 people who shared their concerns. Kirst attended but the property owner did not.

“He let us talk,” said Huston, who cre-ated a Facebook page called “SOD Douglas County.” SOD stands for “stop overdevelop-ment.”

Ten pages of the county’s staff report on the Hilltop development contain responses from the landowner to neighbor concerns, Rider said.

Praying Hands Ranch, a nonprofit equestrian therapy organization across the street from the proposed project, also opposes the plan. The Hilltop site is sur-rounded by land designated as “agricul-tural-1,” “large rural residential” and “rural residential,” and borders Elbert County.

Huston said she has spent hundreds of hours researching county development guidelines and taken time away from her career to help the opposition campaign. She has been “emboldened” by what she has found, she said, and “we stand a good shot at beating this.”

“People are scrambling and spending their time fighting these battles and we shouldn’t have to be doing this,” she said.

The Douglas County Planning Com-mission will review the submittal at 7 p.m. April 4 at the Philip S. Miller Building in Castle Rock and decide whether to recom-mend approval or denial of the Hilltop project.

The state engineer’s office, which as-sesses potential impacts on groundwater during the development review process, said the water supply for the Hilltop neigh-borhood can be “provided without causing injury.”

To view official documents related to the project proposal, go to douglas.co.us and type in the development’s project number, ZR2015-025.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) St. Valentine’s Day magic rules the entire week for romantic Rams and Ewes. Music, which is the food of love, is also strong. The weekend offers news both unexpected and anticipated.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your aspects favor the arts -- which the Divine Bovine loves, loves, loves. Also, for those looking for roman-tic love, Cupid is available for requests. After all, his mother, Venus, rules your sign.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Loving commit-ments continue to grow stronger. Ditto bud-ding relationships. A recent move to help start up a new career-linked direction soon could begin to show signs of progress.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Single Moon Children might be eager to take that proverbial chance on love. But your more serious side will feel better if you take things slowly and give your moonstruck self more time.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a love fest for Leos and Leonas this week. Paired Cats might expect to be purr-fectly in sync. And with matchmaking friends, single Simbas search-ing for romance shouldn’t have too far to look.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) More un-derstanding on both sides can work miracles in restoring ailing relationships to health. Make the first move, and you’ll be closer to your much-wanted reunion.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Accept the fact that you are worthy of being loved, and you’ll find proof in what is revealed to you over the course of the week. Also accept a compli-ment offered with great sincerity.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Plan-ning to take a new direction in life is exciting. And so is a new awareness of someone’s spe-cial affection. Expect a slow and mostly steady development of the situation.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Although you might still feel you weren’t treated quite right in a recent matter, all that will work out in time. Meanwhile, enjoy the week’s special qualities and potentials.

Monthly Adult Lecture Series

The Parker Cultural and Scientifi c Commission sponsors talks on topics that impact Colorado and Douglas County residents. The intent of these talks is to increase the understanding of how science and technology address issues facing the commu-nity. RSVP required; call the PACE Center box offi ce at 303-805-6800. All lectures begin at 6:30 p.m. and are free and open to the public. Thursday, March 3, Human Viruses and Vaccines: Who wins the race? Guest speaker is Dr. Sonia Flores, professor of medicine, University of Colorado Denver. Viruses are small bags of RNA or DNA surrounded by a protein shell. Viruses are responsible for many serious, often deadly, diseases including AIDS, Ebola hemorrhagic fever, hepatitis, the fl u and chicken pox. How can viruses cause so much trouble? What makes us so vulnerable to them, and what makes them spread? Lecture will focus on the biology of known human viruses and how they have evolved to escape our own defenses, and will conclude

with a discussion of how vaccines trigger an immune response that will recognize the virus as a threat and neutralize it before it can cause disease. Thursday, April 7, What Does Your DNA Have To Say? A general discussion on big data and biology with guest speaker Dr. Michael Edwards, assistant professor of medicine, University of Colorado Denver. The information contained in our DNA can be used to trace ancestry across the planet, to convict someone of murder or to predict the potential for a terminal disease later on in life. This lecture will attempt to summarize the state of genetic analysis and to explain how all this information will completely change the way we do science and medicine in the future. Thursday, May 5, Living with Wild-life. Mary K. McCormac, education and watchable wildlife coor-dinator (Northeast Region), will lead a discussion on how and why human-wildlife confl icts happen, how to minimize potential problems, and how to protect wild animals, people and pets.

Colorado faced the same problem last year

By Donna Bryson Associated Press

Colorado offi cials are carefully reviewing tax returns after seeing an increase in fraud, meaning taxpayers might have to wait longer than usual for refunds, a spokeswoman said Feb. 10.

The state Department of Revenue faced a similar challenge last year and responded by mailing paper checks to addresses on record instead of directly depositing some refunds.

The procedure — costly in terms of time as well as money — was prompted by an increase in stolen identity in-

formation used to fi le fraudulent tax returns.

The federal Internal Revenue Ser-vice and other states are seeing similar problems, said Verenda Smith, deputy director of the Federation of Tax Admin-istrators, an information-sharing and lobbying group for state tax offi cials.

In recent years, identity thieves have become more sophisticated, and state revenue authorities have begun discuss-ing the problem more openly, she said.

“You don’t want to be the fi rst one to say, ‘You won’t get a fast refund,’” Smith said. “But taxpayers came to recognize this was to protect them.’’

In Colorado, revenue department spokeswoman Ro Silva said some paper checks will be issued this year, as was the case last year. In some cases in

which fraud is suspected, the refund process will be halted and the taxpayer will be asked to provide additional infor-mation.

Taxpayers who get checks will receive a letter directing them to contact the de-partment if they have not fi led a return or were not expecting a refund.

Taxpayers who fi le a correct and complete return in February should expect a refund in 21 days under state law, Silva said. This year, however, some returns could take up to 60 days longer to process.

“Detecting refund fraud has become the new normal,’’ Silva said, asking taxpayers to be patient. “It’s part of what our society is dealing with.’’

“Last year, about 85 percent of Colo-rado taxpayers fi led electronically, a

method that is convenient for them and the revenue department, Silva said, not-ing the department had no plans to limit electronic fi ling.

She and Smith would not elaborate on all the steps being taken by the fed-eral Internal Revenue Service and states for fear of tipping off criminals.

Smith said prosecuting such crimi-nals can be diffi cult. Many are not in the United States, and they can be hidden behind multiple layers of their own computer security devices.

Instead, she said, tax authorities con-centrate on stopping fraud.

Taxpayers can help by taking steps to protect their identities, including creat-ing strong passwords for fi nancial and other computer accounts and changing them often.

Make the right choice. Drop your unwanted items at a charitable organization, not along the stream bank.

It is shocking to see what people dump into our streams and open space. Not only is this unattractive along our natural

stream corridors, this is a direct threat to fish, wildlife, recreation and our drinking water supplies. If you have

something that you no longer want, consider donating it! Many charitable organizations rely on donations of unwanted items. Otherwise, please coordinate with your trash collector

to dispose of unwanted items properly.

QUIET DESPERATION

One of the toughest situations that ever happens to any traveler, especially someone traveling frequently on business, is when they have arrived at the airport too late and miss their fl ight. Whether it was traffi c, weather, or just plain old bad planning and tardiness, upon arrival they fi nd that the airplane has taken off without them.

Has that ever happened to you? It has happened to me too, and for all of the rea-sons mentioned above.

So here’s the thing, we may have been late for that particular fl ight, but usually there is a later fl ight that same day or a fl ight out the next morning. It’s late, but in most cases it’s never really too late.

There have been so many times when I have found myself in conversations with friends, family members, customers, busi-ness owners and salespeople. And over the years I can’t tell you how many times I have heard someone say, with a bit of disappoint-ment and too much “quit” in their voice, “I missed my opportunity, it’s too late.”

Too late for what?Maybe it is too late for someone with a

quitter’s mentality or for someone who only sees what’s behind them and not what’s in front of them. But it’s never too late for any-one who looks at each and every situation and only sees potential and opportunity.

It’s also never too late for anyone who has

had a dream, a vision or a goal to accom-plish something. How many stories have we heard or read about where someone has learned a new lan-guage, went back to school, jumped out of an airplane, started playing an instrument, opened a business or any number of other amazingly fulfi lled dreams?

I remember a time when I was coach-ing a young salesman.

We were debriefi ng a meeting he had just held with a prospective customer and he was completely dejected. As I asked more about what happened he shared that he had made some rookie mistakes, made his pre-sentation too soon, and didn’t even ask for the business. He said, “It’s too late, I lost this one.” Then I asked him if he knew for sure that the prospect had made a decision to go with another vendor. He shared with me that they had not and that there were a few more vendors left to make their presentation. I encouraged him to reach back out, share his concerns about what he did wrong, and

just be honest and sincere in asking for one more chance. In the end it wasn’t too late; the prospect allowed him to come back in, and he actually won the business.

How many relationships, even marriages, ended because someone thought it was too late? Is it really too late to do the little ro-mantic things that used to be done, too late to show a little more affection, too late to say “I love you,” too late to forgive, or too late to be forgiven?

You see, it really is never too late, not un-less we allow it to be. We can turn away from the airport and just not take that trip, we can give up on any prospective sale or opportu-nity, and we can choose to walk away from a relationship, we can do any of those things if that’s what we really want. But if we choose not to, all we have to do is change our think-ing from “It’s too late” to “It’s never too late.”

How about you? Is it too late for you or are you just getting started? I would love to hear all about what your next pursuit will be at [email protected]. And when we look at life at any point as if we were just getting started and it really is never too late, it will be a better than good week.

‘Too late’ same as caring too little

I ran over a phone book with my snow-blower this morning.

I really wish I hadn’t.Shredded pages went everywhere.Here’s what happened.Someone left a new phone book on my

front porch on the night of a recent snow-storm.

The snow continued to fall, and it bur-ied the book.

So I didn’t see it.The sound was horrifi c. I thought I

might have run over a rabbit.The book

should never have been left on the porch in the fi rst place.

Years ago I asked all of them to stop deliver-ing phone books to me.

I hadn’t used one in 10 years or more, and I was getting two, three or more each and every year.

Who uses phone books? Maybe some

computer holdouts.Of course, at one time I did use them.

But things have changed.I am not even listed.I was kind of pleased when I saw my

name in one for the fi rst time.But then I became the target of solici-

tors. I would have all of them lined up and hit repeatedly with socks full of manure.

I still get unwanted calls. I can block up to 30 numbers, but that’s it.

I am concerned about the upcoming campaign calls, but I have my Swear Word Dictionary next to my phone for that and them.

Anyway this got me thinking about other things that I — or we — have phased out, and I came up with a long list.

Travel agents.Door-to-door salesmen and women.Johnny Cash was one.Table radios.But if you are looking for one, let me

know. I can recommend the best.

Or just watch “Big Fish.”There’s one in Albert Finney’s bedroom.Turntables — although there are still

lots of vinyl lovers.I know that by the time I croak, I will be

completely out of touch with new tech-nologies. I still have a land line.

The new thing in automobiles is a sen-sor that brakes the car all by itself if you are about to run into someone.

It further encourages distracted driv-ing.

One of my favorite memories (age 10) was a cross-country train ride.

I get the urge about once a year to do it again.

But who has the time for that anymore?Watches, maps, encyclopedias and dai-

ly newspapers.Remember when you could pick up a

free paper newspaper at a gas station?Fortunately new technologies haven’t

replaced everything.Like blue jeans and coffee cups.And bowling shirts, like the ones that

pro bowlers wear, are just as ugly as ever.A friend of mine used to say, “Good

things change and bad things get worse.”Film is on its way out. Not fi lms. Rolls

of fi lm.You used to have to buy rolls of black-

and-white or color fi lm and then take the exposed rolls to a drug store or Photo Mat, and wait, sometimes days, for your (12 or 24) prints.

Hand-written letters are a goner. When was the last time you received one? So are typewriters.

Do you have an address book?I will have to wait until the snowstorm

melts entirely to pick up all of the pages and bits of pages, because many of them were scattered in the rocks.

There were footprints in the snow, but I fi gured whoever it was had simply seen the 19 “No Solicitors” signs on and next to my front door and left.

It was eerie, like the climatic snow scene in “The Invisible Man.”

It startled me, and it was and will be a mess to clean up, but I am thankful it wasn’t Bugs Bunny.

Snowblower reveals that someone blew it

Investors are not happy. But according to the volatility index, they are not panicked ei-ther. This could be the most orderly correction we have ever seen. The markets seem to drift based on whatever news blows in. One day it

is China, the next oil. Sometimes it is Europe or the dollar. Last week it was earnings. Regard-less of how we got here, the end result is the same … losses in every equity category.

This feels like 2011 all over again. However, most investors when polled did not recall the economic turmoil in that year, or the 18 percent correction in the equities market which all started with Greece. Maybe inves-tors thought a country

the size of Georgia could not impact us signifi -cantly, but the contagion that spread around the world affected every country. Luckily it was not very long-lived.

Since that downturn, we have not experi-enced any signifi cant pullbacks until last Au-gust when we had a very brief 12 percent de-cline that was over in a few weeks. Now we are seeing much more volatility based on concerns from analysts around the world.

Some think this is the payback for over fi ve years of easy money. We shook our heads in 2011 when Greece could not cut expenses, re-duce pensions or pay their debts. Now we are not thrilled with the idea of doing the same in this country. Our largest pension, Social Secu-rity, is not giving a cost of living increase this year. This coupled with declining investment income will put many retirees on a reduced budget.

The quantitative easing (QE) provided by the Federal Reserve Board allowed us to get out of recession in 2009 and fueled the stock

Markets are testing investors’ patience

market to over a 200 percent return during the following fi ve years. Now that QE has been removed, stocks are being repriced based on current economic conditions.

The next most common concern among the Wall Street gurus is that the economy’s growth rate is a paltry 2 per-cent. Business and consumer spending should take up the slack when QE ends, but with years of no wage increases, con-sumer spending is down. Business spend-ing is also lower as the last three quarters of earnings showed declines.

Commodities, in particular oil prices, have been blamed for most of the nega-tive days on the stock market. However, this could be a result of the rising dollar, declining demand in China, and higher inventories.

China’s slowdown has had signifi cant impact on Europe and emerging markets. It was just a matter of time that the credit crisis in the U.S. in 2008 and in Europe in 2011 made its way to the far corners of the globe. The increase in interest rates here at home was like rubbing salt in the wound. This caused the Chinese govern-ment to devalue the yuan to offset our ris-ing dollar.

There are plenty of reasons for market declines. However, there are plenty of pos-itive factors that will pull investors back in when the price is right. This includes a falling unemployment rate, nationally to 4.9 percent and in Colorado to 4.2 percent. This is considered full employment. Jere-my Siegel stated in his recent commentary that it is diffi cult to have a recession when everyone is working.

More good news is that there may be little reason for another interest rate hike in the next few months. This should allow for more borrowing, including Wall Street mergers and acquisitions while rates re-main low and stable. This should also help fuel growth at the right price.

Jerry Webman, chief economist for Op-penheimerFunds, will provide detailed commentary on market conditions and the election impact at our March work-shop.

Rangepermitting process. The actual renova-tions took us about two or three months,” Kuhl said.

He estimates that the renovation ef-forts moved more than 500 cubic yards of dirt, which was moved to create 15-foot-tall berms.

“This surrounds the entire shooting range for safety,” Kuhl said.

Bailey Turco, 15, is a member of the Elbert County 4-H Shooting Sports Program, and she said the improvements will give her more options for competi-tions.

“So I’ve been in 4-H for six years now shooting .22 (caliber) all six years, and at last year’s state fair I was nominated to go to nationals in the .22 venue,” Turco said. “In nationals I’ll be shooting up to 100 meters. Previously I didn’t have the range facilities to shoot that far but now with the range at Quail Run, I have the chance

to shoot pretty close to that distance.”Before the Quail Run improvements,

Turco said she has been able to shoot at longer distances on private ranges.

“Now I’ll have the chance to shoot any time I need to here,” she said. “I really, really enjoy shooting high-powered rifl es, so that gives me another chance to shoot at the longer distance with the guns I enjoy shooting most.”

Kuhl emphasized good fi rearm train-ing requires much more than just the physical structures of the training range.

“For the youth, it’s so important. It transcends so much more than the shooting sports,” Kuhl said. “The skills the kids learn here go with them their entire life. How to deal with people, how to deal with situations that they’re going to come into contact with their entire life. Teaching respect. When you go to com-pete at the state fair, or at county fairs around the state. The kids are constantly getting compliments at how professional, and how polite, and how much they volunteer to help out at other shooting venues.”

Kuhl recognized Jerry and Annette

William, the owners of Quail Run, for their efforts to provide a good area for 4-H members to become educated with fi rearms.

“Quail Run donates all the time and all the supplies and all the shooting materi-als they need to compete,” Kuhl said.

The 350-acre facility, located at 6852 Quail Run Circle, Kiowa, now offers three outdoor fi ring ranges:

Range 1 (Handgun, Small Bore Rifl e) - Offers eight fi ring lines with adjustable targets and seven fi xed steel targets for distances up to 25 yards.

Range 2 (Handgun, Small Bore, Shot-gun) - Offers 20 fi ring lines for distances up to 50 yards.

Range 3 (Handgun, Rifl e, Shotgun) - Offers eight fi xed bench fi ring lines with distances of 25, 50 and 100 yards.


Survivor QUICK FACTS • Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide.

• On a per-death basis, lung cancer receives 7 percent of the funding that breast cancer receives.

• Not only smokers get lung cancer. For example, in the U.S., about 31,000 people die each year from nonsmoking-related lung cancer — about the same number as die from prostate cancer.

• Other causes of lung cancer include radon gas in homes (20,000 deaths a year), work-place exposure, secondhand smoke, cancer treatments and genetics.

• Lung cancer does not have to be fatal, as groundbreaking new treatments aim to alter

lung cancer survival rates.

• Unlike most cancers, which have witnessed steady increases in survival rates, advances have been slow for lung cancer, for which the fi ve-year survival rate is about 18 percent.

• More than half of lung cancer cases are diagnosed in late stages, which only have a 4 percent (fi ve-year) survival rate.

• In 2012, the tobacco industry spent more than 40 times more on tobacco advertising and promotion in the U.S. than the National Insti-tutes of Health spent on lung cancer research.

Research and promising developmentsNew immunotherapy (using the body’s own im-mune cells to attack cancer cells) shows great

promise for patients with advanced, non-small-cell lung cancer.

Evidence suggests that quitting smoking mea-surably improves patient survival.

Screening with low-dose CT may reduce lung cancer deaths by 20 percent compared to standard chest X-rays among participants with a smoking history of 30 pack-years who were current smokers or had quit within 15 years. Pack-years are calculated by multiplying the average number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day by the number of years a person has smoked, according to the National Cancer Institute.

RAISING MONEY FOR THE CAUSE Kathy Weber recently returned from a trip to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii. The trip to the Jan. 31 NFL all-star game was her prize for raising $10,000 during the Team Draft Lung Cancer Survivors Super Bowl Challenge, in which she raised money on behalf of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer.

Team Draft is an initiative of the Chris Draft Family Foundation, created by former NFL

linebacker Chris Draft and his late wife dur-ing her yearlong struggle with Stage IV lung cancer. The Super Bowl Challenge recruits lung cancer survivors to raise money to fi nd new ways to combat the disease.

“I never expected to win,” Weber said, adding that she joined the challenge two weeks before the deadline. “I’m overwhelmed and humbled by the response I got from col-leagues and peers to support me.”

The ultrasound was normal. But the chest X-ray showed a tiny pulmonary nod-ule.

About a week later, a doctor told her the nodule might be a fungal infection. But be-ing in the health care industry herself, We-ber said this diagnosis didn’t make sense to her. She didn’t have any other symptoms.

A second opinion from the radiology de-partment at Castle Rock Adventist Hospital, where she works, said the nodule looked cancerous.

“I went from needing my shoulder looked at to now having cancer,” Weber said. “How could this be?”

She was diagnosed with Stage 1a adeno-carcinoma and in July 2014, she had the right upper lobe of her lung removed.

After spending six days in the hospital with a chest tube, doctors sent Weber home with the advice to walk to help her recovery, which she described as “scary at times, yet so rewarding.”

The morning after being discharged, she set out for a walk along her driveway, which is long and has an incline. She made it down just fi ne. But walking back up was another story.

“I literally could not breathe,” she said. “I wondered how this was all possible — I was still in shock. Just one week prior I was run-ning up this very driveway, doing sprints. Now, I was doubled over, wheezing and gasping for breath.”

But Weber pushed. Each day, she took a few more steps.

Two weeks after her operation, Weber

was walking two miles a day.“Every day, I was aware of each breath

and learned to love the sound of my harsh, wheezy breathing,” Weber said. “Each

breath became my new motivation and strength.”

With the help of her trainer, Dave Fujii at American Pro Gym, Weber competed in her

next fi gure bodybuilding competition 10 months after her surgery.

“As crazy as it sounds, I feel like I just needed to do it to feel normal for me — to bring me back to feeling strong and whole,” Weber said. “My competition was a way for me to regain some control. I had lost a lot of muscle mass, but was happy with my re-sults and the reward of getting on stage.”

Weber attributes a large part of surviving lung cancer to early detection, which she believes was possible because of her physi-cal health and strength.

Although she still struggles with breath-ing during workouts, Weber continues to train hard and hopes to compete again next summer before her 50th birthday.

“I’ve got to have a goal,” she said, “to keep pushing toward something.”

Telemedicine allows doctors, specialists to remotely treat patients across Coloradofrom a single location

By Mike DiFerdinando [email protected]

On some days, Dr. Robert Pratt sits in his Denver-area home in front of a tab-let as he diagnoses patients for possible

strokes at up to 15 different HealthOne affi liated hospitals.

Today, Pratt, a neurologist, is calling into the emergency room of Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, where a de-cision on whether to administer a poten-

tially lifesaving clotting drug to incom-ing patients has to be made within an hour of arrival.

screen, he zooms cameras in and out to focus on different parts of the body. He turns them right and left. He can fl ash images and words on the screen in the ER to gauge different neurological re-sponses. He can order tests and prescribe medications instantly. If needed, an on-site nurse or doctor can lend a hand, but Pratt can handle nearly all of his exami-nations on his own.

“When we fi rst started using it people used to be like, ‘Wow, I’m on TV,’” said Pratt, who added the technology allows him to be at bedside virtually. “We would get reactions like that. But now, people are perfectly comfortable.”

Pratt and the team at Sky Ridge’s emer-gency room are part of a growing trend of doctors and medical facilities offering patients telemedicine services.

With robotic cameras controlled through computer software programs and other technological tools, doctors can reach patients in remote or rural ar-eas who otherwise wouldn’t have access to a certain specialist, like a neurologist.

“The old way was, you got on the phone and talked to someone,” said Dr. Adam Barkin, medical director of the emergency department at Sky Ridge. “You had to describe everything. This is a much better way because this allows the consulting physician to do their own observation ... The key is to get that neu-rologist on camera within that fi rst three minutes.”

Though the technology has been around in different forms for nearly a de-cade, in recent years, increased comfort with technology and online video chat-ting has opened up a new world of pa-tients who are not only comfortable with — but would sometimes prefer — an on-line appointment, Pratt said.

Efforts to fi nd patients to talk to were unsuccessful because of the emergency and neurological nature of how technol-ogy is currently being used.

Care and convenience Samantha Lippolis, telehealth direc-

tor of Centura hospitals, said Centura uses telehealth technology in outpa-tient settings as well as such emergency situations as strokes, and including pul-monary, cardiology, concussion man-agement, sleep clinics, urology, genetic counseling and pre- and post-surgical consultations.

Centura facilities also use the technol-ogy for critical care for doctors who can’t be on call 24 hours a day but can visit the hospital virtually to make rounds.

Although telemedicine is largely lim-ited to rural areas and specialist consul-tations and exams, Centura hopes to ex-pand its use in coming years.

“If you’re in south Denver and you wanted to see a specialist that is in Thornton, that could easily take you an hour-and-a-half in traffi c,” Lippolis said. “We are giving it to patients as a choice and a convenience, and it’s up to them whether they want to see a doctor in per-son or if they would prefer to not have to drive. We really see it as a way to offer pa-tients choice and convenience.”

According to Lippolis, health insur-ance laws only allow for reimbursement of telemedicine for patients in rural ar-eas or in situations where they otherwise wouldn’t be able to see a specialist.

Passed in 2015, House Bill 1029, spon-sored by Rep. Perry Buck (R-Windsor) and Joann Ginal (D-Fort Collins), requires in-surers to reimburse health care providers for telehealth services in counties of all sizes. Previously, Colorado law had re-quired reimbursement only for counties

with 150,000 residents or less.“Last year, legislation was passed (in

Colorado) that all commercial payers, non-Medicare, will be required to reim-burse for telehealth services in urban areas beginning in 2017,” Lippolis said. “What we all expect is that now we can offer telehealth to patients as a conve-nience.”

Neurologists are zebrasAccording to Amy Maxe, service line

director of neurosciences at Littleton Ad-ventist Hospital, Centura has cameras at facilities throughout the state.

The facilities with cameras don’t have neurology coverage in their hospitals or their communities. Littleton Adventist provides the neurologist for all of these facilities remotely.

“It started as telestroke, and that’s the majority of the patients that we see,” Maxe said. “But it could be a seizure pa-tient or something else. The other thing that we are starting to use it for is tele-neuropysch evaluations.”

As the technology advances, doctors treating patients not only across the state but also from across the country will be-

come more commonplace, Pratt said.A patient in California will be able to

see a specialist in New York without leav-ing his or her hometown.

“As long as I can get a good Internet connection I can work,” Pratt said. “Med-icine and treating patients is the same, regardless of what state you are in.”

But doctors must be licensed in each state they practice, Pratt said.

From a nursing perspective, telemedi-cine is helpful because it allows nurses to diagnose a patient in a more comprehen-sive manner, said nurse D.J. Sasso, assis-tant vice president of neurosciences and cardiovascular services at SkyRidge.

“In some of the rural areas that only have nurse practitioners or PA (physi-cian’s assistant), they utilize this technol-ogy as quick access to a physician,” Sasso said.

Another benefi t to telemedicine, health professionals say, is cost savings.

According to Rebecca McBride, the telehealth program coordinator for Cen-tura Health, the typical cost of a machine is between $20,000 to $30,000 — a frac-tion of the cost of hiring a full-time spe-cialist.

“I think telemedicine is the next fron-tier of where medicine is going to go, es-pecially for the rural hospital or a critical care hospital that doesn’t have certain specialists,” Barkin said. “You’re going to see more and more about telemedi-cine on a regular basis with our behav-ioral health patients, too. We actually do remote assessments for psychiatric patients that need evaluations. Just like how neurologists are rare, like zebras, not every hospital can have psychologists or behavioral specialists.”

Manning’s future not clear amid victory rally

By Donna Bryson and Pat GrahamAssociated Press

From the top of a fire truck, Von Miller thrust the Super Bowl trophy into the air again and again as the Denver Broncos convoy made its way through streets lined with blue-and-orange-clad fans.

Behind Miller, the Super Bowl MVP, stood Peyton Manning and DeMarcus Ware. Behind them, the architect of this team and Hall of Famer John Elway.

Fittingly, the group traveled the route, which was a bit longer than a mile, in fire truck No. 18 — Manning’s number. Will he be back with the Broncos?

A question for another time. Because Feb. 9 was parade day and a million fans — according to an estimate from the Denver mayor — showed up to cheer on the Super Bowl champions after beating Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers 24-10 on Feb. 7. The supporters held up signs and screamed “Thank you, Peyton!” at the top of their lungs as they soaked in the sun while basking in the glow of the Broncos’ third Super Bowl title — and the first in 17 years. Fans packed in tightly along the route, while others watched from balconies, rooftops and even the branches of trees as the players rode by on a series of fire trucks.

Backup quarterback Brock Osweiler signed footballs and threw them into the crowd as he

rode by on another truck, while Annabel Bowlen, the wife of ail-ing Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, took a seat next to Miller.

Pat Henderson and Melanie Novak usually cheer together at the stadium, where they met at a Broncos game a decade ago in a part of the stands they proudly described as the rowdy south section. During the season, “it’s our responsibility to all the Broncos nation to help the team by yelling,” Henderson said. The task on Feb. 9, she said as she stood with Novak along the parade route, was a bit differ-ent: “To have fun and represent

Denver.”The parade followed an

outdoor concert by a trio of Colorado bands, including Big Head Todd and The Monsters, near the City and County Build-ing and the Colorado Capitol. The sea of fans went crazy on the sunny morning as the music started. The smell of marijuana hung over the park, even though smoking pot in public is illegal in Colorado.

School took back seatPeople gathered for hours

before the concert and parade. Classes were in session, but

school-age kids mingled in the crowd. Denver schools offered students excused absences if their parents let officials know.

Once on stage, Manning acknowledged his teammates and the crowd, but he said noth-ing of his plans for the future. “Everybody has really stuck to-gether this year. That’s why we’re here where we are today, and it’s great to be with all these great fans,” Manning said.

Judy Ayce drove nine hours with her 81-year-old mother, Dorothy Ayce, from the Chinle Navajo reservation in Arizona for the parade, arriving at the Denver home of Judy Ayce’s niece late Feb. 8. On the morn-ing before the parade started, Dorothy Ayce’s wheelchair was parked against a barricade. A plastic bag of drinks and snacks dangled from the chair. The family was ready to spend the day celebrating.

“We brought our mats. We brought our food. We brought blankets for Grandma,” Amanda Ayce said.

Judy Ayce, speaking in Na-vajo, asked her mother whether she was there for all the Bron-cos, or especially for Manning. “Peyton,” was the answer.

“She just likes watching sports, and she’s followed him for years,” her granddaughter said.

Celebrants couldn’t waitFans in Denver began cel-

ebrating on the night of Feb. 7 as the clock ticked down on the Broncos’ win in Super Bowl 50. That crowd became unruly at times, but officers for the most

part watched from the side-walk. Police reported a handful of arrests, mainly for criminal mischief.

On Feb. 9, the mood was light. Even some people stuck in traffic near the parade route honked at fans dressed in Broncos jerseys walked on the sidewalk toward the event.

Some kids had an impromptu snowball fight — making mis-siles out of remnants of snow from a week earlier when the city received about a foot of fresh powder — while several adults painted their faces for the occasion.

Although many took the day off, Gary Baca, chief of security for a downtown building along the route, was working. He wore a bright orange tie with his white dress shirt, and took a moment to survey the crowds he said were sending a message to the Broncos.

“I want them to understand that we as fans truly love them,” Baca said. “The love deep down is genuine.”

It meant the world to long-time Broncos linebacker Randy Gradishar, the centerpiece the team’s famed “Orange Crush” defense from the late 1970s.

“I can see why Broncos fans are charged with being the greatest fans in the country,” Gradishar said. “It’s great to see all the excitement and enthusi-asm.”

Miller, who was wearing a cowboy hat, couldn’t agree more. A chance at a Super Bowl repeat?

“I think so,” Miller said. “Back-to-back, right?”

What Every Knee Arthritis Sufferer Should Know About This Often Successful Medical Treatment

The Advanced Medical Treatment Every Knee Arthritis Sufferer Needs To Know - Before Thinking About Knee Replacement Surgery

El Paso County - If you suffer with knee arthritis pain, you have probably already tried many treat-ments... especially count-less pain medications. Experienced doctors understand that, even though pain medications such as anti-inflammatory pain pills are part of the recommended early treat-ment plan for knee arthri-tis pain...they are rarely the answer. In most cases they have minimal results (if any) and have a laundry list of potential side effects. Some being serious and even life threatening.

Are There Any Better

Options? Thankfully, advance-ments in science and tech-nology come extremely fast. And now there is a very good option for knee arthritis to help relieve the pain. An option that a lot of knee arthritis suffer-ers have never heard of...and even worse... have not been properly informed about. Before we get into the actual treatment, please understand this... Osteo Relief Institute is a real medical clinic that has treated thousands of knee arthritis suffer-ers. Patients travel from all over the country to be treated at their clinic be-cause they want the best medical treatments avail-able. What you are about to discover is a REAL medi-cal treatment. Not a mira-cle cure you see on info-mercials or on the internet. Know this fact: There is no cure for arthritis. But there is this treatment that... when performed correctly and with the proper technology... has already helped thousands

Advanced Imaging Allows Doctors To Pin-Point Treatments And Relieve Knee Arthritis Pain

Science rescues knee arthritis sufferers? Research shows joint injections done without advanced imaging misses the joint about 30% of the time. Now doctors can put lubricating fluid directly into the arthritic joint that may alleviate pain and restore function to many.

HOW IT WORKS: With The Proper Advanced Imaging And Technology Joint Cushioning and Lubricating Medication is Placed Precisely In The Arthritic Knee Joint To Relieve Stiffness And Pain

of knee arthritis sufferers - possibly just like you. Even if you have heard of this treatment - or even tried it without good re-sults - please read this. You will find out why it may not have worked for you and how you may be able to get much better re-sults.

What is ThisTreatment?

This treatment is called viscosupplementation. And it has gained quite a bit of popularity in recent years and it has gotten mixed results for a couple of reasons. But before we get into that, here’s what you need to know about viscosup-plementation. When you have arthritis, you suffer a decrease in the cushioning and lubricating fluids in your knee. In oth-er words, your knee joint basically “dries up.” The lubricating fluid that decreases is called “synovial fluid.” Pharmaceutical com-panies (with the help of scientists) can now make natural synovial fluid gel-like compounds that, dur-ing viscosupplementation treatments...doctors can precisely introduce direct-ly into the knee and other joints. This helps replace the lu-bricating fluid to the knee joint - allowing it to move more freely and smoothly and often decreasing or even eliminating the pain.

What ResultsCan Be

Expected? Like all medical treat-ments, the results vary and can not be predicted. But many knee arthritis suffer-ers get dramatic results. It is not uncommon for pa-tients to either postpone knee replacement surgery for years... or even perma-nently cancel it.

But There Is A BIGProblem

The key is the treatment must be EXTREMELY PRECISE. If the injection is slightly off, the medica-tion will not get into the knee joint and the treat-ment will not work. That’s why the experts at Osteo Relief Institute use advanced digital im-aging so they can see the medicine going directly into the knee joint during the treatment. Research shows that doctors performing joint injections without imaging miss the joint as much as 30% of the time. If you have tried visco-supplementation without this special digital imaging without good results - this may be why. That’s why Osteo Relief Institute takes it even one step further. They do not just use one step process of advanced imaging during treatment - they use two in their “double confirma-tion” process. This is to ensure patients get the best possible results.

AnotherImportant

Factor Viscosupplementation medications also come in several different brands and chemical make-ups. Just like all medications, some people respond bet-ter to some than others. While many doctors only use one brand, the experts at Osteo Relief Institute use several and great effort is taken to figure out what the best one for YOU is. One last thing: The experts at Osteo Relief In-stitute have found that the earlier you start Viscosup-plementation the better. This is most likely be-cause the longer you wait - the more joint destruction takes place. That’s why Osteo Relief

is now seeing so many pa-tients as young as 45. Summary: If you have knee arthritis pain and have not tried Viscosup-plementation, you should look into it as soon as pos-sible. If you have tried it with-out good results, you may still be able to get great results with the proper im-aging and specific medica-tion

Who Should Try This

Treatment? Not everyone is a can-didate for this treatment. But if you are, there is a good chance you may re-lieve some... or possibly all of your pain. You are a potential candidate for this treat-ment if you have knee pain and have not gotten good results from anti-inflammatory medication or other common arthritis treatments. Especially if you have already tried viscosupple-mentation without good results. The best way to tell if you are a good candi-date for this treatment is to be screened by one of

the doctors at Colorado Springs, CO.

What To Do NextIf You Are In Pain:

Your Invitation Osteo Relief Institute offers a limited number of complimentary knee arthritis treatment screen-ings every month. These screenings are a way for knee arthritis sufferers to get some of their ques-tions answered and see if they are a candidate for this treatment. If you would like a complimen-tary screening, just call 719-323-6612 and tell the scheduling specialist who answers the phone, “I would like a complimen-tary knee arthritis screen-ing.” The screenings fill up fast every month. If you do not call in time to get one this month, the spe-cialist will schedule you for next month. This screening is no cost and no obligation. This treatment is cov-ered by many insurance plans and Medicare.
