Page 2 SouthPark 2 TIMES January 2006Staying Safe in Colorado’s Cold TemperaturesWinter isn’t just a time to stay indoorsand wait for spring. Not only are theretons of great Colorado activities to do inthe wintertime — like making snowmen,sledding, ice skating and skiing — but itcan actually be good for you to go outsideand get some fresh air.People don’t “catch” a cold orflu virus because they are out in coldweather. They catch these virusesby touching contaminated surfaces.People tend to be inside and aroundeach other more often when it’s coldoutside and that’s why there’s anincrease in illnesses during the coldweather season. Here are a fewtips for keeping your familysafe in the cold weather:Avoid cotton clothing — it won’tkeep you very warm. Stick with wool orother fabrics. Wear long underwear, aturtleneck, a sweater and a coat. Addmore layers depending on the temperature.Waterproof pants and jackets aregreat top layers because they don’t let thewetness seep into the other clothing. Thecold-weather ensemble wouldn’t be completewithout warm socks and boots tokeep your feet dry and a hat to keep yourhead warm.One thing many people forget aboutin the winter is protecting your kids’ faceswith sunscreen. Even though the idea of asunburn in January can seem odd, snowcan reflect up to 85% of the sun’s ultravioletrays.There’s no set amount of time childrenshould be allowed to stay out in thecold. However, when being cold becomesunpleasant, it’s time to go inside.Sometimes, though, kids may just needsome dry gloves. It helps to have an extrapair of gloves or mittens tucked into theirIt is the dull man who is always sure,and the sure man who is always dull.—H.L.

It leaves theskin white and numb. After bringingyour child inside, removeall wet clothing because itdraws heat from the body.Frostbite occurs mostly on fingers,toes, ears, noses and cheeks.The area becomes very cold and turnswhite or yellowish gray. If you noticefrostbite, take your child immediately tothe nearest hospital emergency room.These health tips are brought to you byCentennial Medical Plaza.

January 2006 SouthPark 2 TIMES Page 3Safety Tips. continued from page 29. Another Safety Point: Someone just told me that herfriend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, andshe called the police because it was late and she thought it wasweird. The police told her “Whatever you do, do not open thedoor.”The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawlednear a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to thestreet and get run over. The policeman said, “We already have aunit on the way, whatever you do, do not open the door.” He toldher that they think a serial killer has a baby’s cry recorded anduses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someonedropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it, but havehad several calls by women saying that they hear baby’s criesoutside their doors when they’re home alone at night.Please pass this on and do not open the door for a cryingbaby. The “Crying Baby” theory was mentioned on America’sMost Wanted when they profiled a serial killer in Louisiana.—Taken from the InternetSome Glimpses of Life in 1906• President Theodore Roosevelt held office after winningreelection in 1904.• The average life expectancy was low 50s for men, low60s for women.• The Ford Motor company introduced the Model N automobile;it sold for $500.• The first voice was broadcast by radio.• The Chicago White Sox defeated the Chicago Cubs in theWorld Series.• Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaiiwere not yet in the Union.• One of the first patents for an apparatus for treating air,“an air conditioner,” was issued to Willis Carrier.• The first bubblegum came on the market but it was not asuccess because it was too sticky.

Main Street, Littleton“I Have A Dream”by Martin Luther King, Jr,Delivered on the steps at the Lincoln Memorial in WashingtonD.C. on August 28, 1963. Source: Martin Luther King, Jr: ThePeaceful Warrior, Pocket Books, NY 1968An edited portion of the speech:. . . I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up andlive out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to beself-evident: that all men are created equal.” I have a dream thatone day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves andthe sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down togetherat a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even thestate of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat ofinjustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedomand justice. I have a dream that my four children will oneday live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color oftheir skin but by the content of their character. I have a dreamtoday.I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor’slips are presently dripping with the words of interpositionand nullification, will be transformedinto a situation where littleblack boys and black girls will beable to join hands with little whiteboys and white girls and walk togetheras sisters and brothers. I have adream today. I have a dream that oneday every valley shall be exalted, everyhill and mountain shall be made low,the rough places will be made plain,and the crooked places will be madestraight, and the glory of the Lord shall berevealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. Thisis the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith wewill be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope.With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discordsof our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With thisfaith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggletogether, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together,knowing that we will be free one day.This will be the day when all of God’s children will be able tosing with a new meaning, “My country, ‘tis of thee, sweet land ofliberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim’spride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.” And ifAmerica is to be a great nation, this must become true. So let freedomring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Letfreedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedomring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Letfreedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado! Letfreedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California! But notonly that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Letfreedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee! Let freedomring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. Fromevery mountainside, let freedom ring.When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every villageand every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will beable to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black menand white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, willbe able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual,“Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are freeat last!”

Not only will yoube more comfortable, but your visual system will work betterbecause the more your eye is covered by your eyelid, the moremoisture it gets, yielding greater depth of focus.”Carmel MyersYour SouthPark 2 ResidentInsurance AgentOne stop for all your insurance needsBus: 303-996-5291Main: 303-337-4433Cell: 303-241-6455Fax: 303-337-5434Carmel Myerscmyers1@farmersagent.com6970 S.
