MINIS The Gem Advisor By: Scott McQueen

Fire Opal

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about fire opals is the size of the raw stones. Some are as large as a baseball, which increases the variety of ways they can be utilized.

Their color is also distinctive. Fire opals have a warm, expressive orange color that varies from yellow to light red, and from time to time, a slight tinge of brown. They can also have a flashy play of color, something typical of opals.

The price of a fire opal is determined by three factors: the play of color, the body color and the level of transparency. The more transparency and ‘fire’ it has, and the more intense the deep red of its body color, the more valuable it will be.

JANUARY 2013

Fire opals are said to appeal to people who are active and who bear a positive approach to life. Perhaps it is their fiery color that helps their owners experience the beauty of life and discover joyfulness in daily living.

CATCHING UP WITH CASTLE ROCK

By Tiffany Grizzle

The Castle Rock Recreation Center

“A New Year – A New You!”

That’s enough to make me want to chuck my new year’s resolutions at someone. Lately, I’ve identified more with,

“I really don’t think I need buns of steel. I’d be happy with buns of cinnamon.” ~ Ellen DeGeneres Realistically, I know that a personal pity party about my need to get back on the exercise train will only last a short time, then reality will come charging down the tracks. My layover in Slackersville was not all my own doing. I had some minor surgery recently and I’ve been heavily restricted on what I am permitted to do during my recovery. What I realized is, it’s one thing to be lazy by choice, and it’s an entirely different story when someone else tells you what you can’t do. I’ve never been more motivated to get back to it, yet I’m not quite able to dive in just yet.

For some, it’s injury; for others, it’s simply trying to figure out how to fit exercise into their schedules and in what form it needs to be to actually want to fit it in.

JANUARY 2013

The Castle Rock Recreation Center has 84,000 square feet of options that leaves little room for excuses NOT to go. The best advice the staff of the Rec Center can give all of us trying to get back to it is, find something you like and ease into it. Jumping in full throttle almost guarantees you won’t stick with it. Doing too much too quickly, you run the risk of injuring yourself and will most likely be so sore and miserable, you may never want to go back. The Rec Center offers everything from Pilates to martial arts, yoga to boot camp and everything in between. You can work cardio on the state of the art equipment, do interval weight training or try the aquatic exercise programs. Senior fitness classes are also offered.

If those all sound like, “been there, done that” and your interest has not been piqued, perhaps the addition of the new Body Pump programs is just what’s needed to reinvigorate your workouts. Body Pump classes utilize free weights, Body Combat incorporates martial arts fundamentals into the work out and the newest addition, Body Attack, is centered around sports inspired cardio. Each of these classes, as with all classes, can be scaled to fit all fitness levels.

CASTLE ROCK MAGAZINE

To provide incentive for sticking with it, Castle Rock Recreation Center is launching a quarterly program on January 12th for their Body Pump, Body Combat and Body Attack classes. Each time you attend class, you’ll scan a QR code with your phone and at the beginning of the second quarter, both the participant with the most hits for attendance and the instructor with the highest attendance to their classes will receive some great prizes.

The first step in trying to incorporate exercise into your lifestyle, or even change up your existing routine, is just giving yourself permission to do it. Allow yourself the freedom to try new things and face new challenges. The sense of community at the Rec Center isn’t just running into people from your neighborhood in the gym, it’s really getting to know people from your community. Instructors expect to see you – want to see you, in class. Positive peer pressure can be a valuable tool. Friends you’re sure to make at the Rec Center will likely share your “I’ll go if you go” mentality.

Some may harbor misconceptions that a community recreation center is somehow inferior to corporate gyms. The Castle Rock Rec Center, like those gyms, has state of the art equipment, certified instructors, and countless fitness classes to choose from. The Rec Center also has great educational classes, fantastic sports programs and is completely open and accepting of all ages, fitness and participation levels. You really are going to be working out with your neighbors and the Castle Rock Recreation Center prides itself on that real community feel.

I know, getting back to it, I may not be getting anything of “steel” right away. The saying, “That’s not sweat, it’s my body crying” comes to mind. But I do know that taking some time for myself; finding something to make my mind and body feel better will be well worth it. Instead of “New Year, New You” how about just “New Year, try something new?” Castle Rock Recreation is waiting for you.

The Castle Rock Recreation Center is located at 2301 Woodlands Boulevard. For more information, visit them online at www.crgov.com or call 303-660-1036.

FOCUS ON HEALTH

By David Kanze, DO

What Kind of Doctor is a DO? “What’s a DO?” I have been asked this question hundreds of times. It is usually followed by: “Are you like a chiropractor or are you like my regular MD?” The answer to these questions is yes and no. A DO, or Osteopathic physician, attends four years of college to obtain a bachelor’s degree, four years of medical school to obtain a Doctor of Osteopathy degree, and three to eight years of specialty residency training. DOs are fully licensed in all fifty states to prescribe medications, and practice medicine, surgery, and obstetrics, just like MDs (allopathic physicians). The main difference that sets DOs apart is that they are also trained to utilize their hands to perform manual manipulations, similar to chiropractors. Osteopathic physicians are different, however. The Osteopathic goal is not simply to fight disease; but to find the health in the body. In fact, its founder, Andrew Taylor Still, MD, DO stated: “It is the job of the Osteopathic physician to find the health, anyone can find disease.”

So, what does this mean to you, the patient? It simply means that if you come in with a headache, your head may not be the problem. Your neck or shoulder or foot may actually be the true cause of the headache! A DO examines your entire body to provide the best care for you, whether that be with manipulation, medication, modern technology or a combination of these. Jim Jealous, DO said: “Osteopathy is using one’s hands to engage a therapeutic process governed by the Health of the patient.”

For more information on DOs and Osteopathy, please visit www.centerosteopathicwellness. com or www.osteopathic.org.

JANUARY 2013

Osteopathy is based on four tenets: 1. The body is a unit of mind, body and spirit.

2. The body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing and health maintenance.

3. Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated.

4. Rational treatment is based upon the above.

The Things We Can Learn From a Produce Sticker

Y

ou know those little stickers you peel off produce and can’t seem to get in the trash because they stick to your finger? Next time you peel one off your apple or avocado, don’t be so quick to shake it off; take a look at it.

There is a lot of information packed into that little sticker. You’ll see a bar code and a few words and numbers. Fruits and vegetables have an identity code, or a Price Look-Up code, just like other foods you buy. These were established in 1990 and contain either four or five numbers making claim to their identity.

One important piece of information that can be deciphered from these little stickers is if that piece of produce has been grown conventionally, or grown organically. Unless it is labeled ‘organic’ you cannot be sure it hasn’t been sprayed with chemicals, or know that it isn’t genetically engineered (genetically altered by scientists to produce bigger or faster growing produce. In other words, they contain genes and/or DNA that would not naturally be in them). Genetically modified foods are also called GMOs, or GM foods.

Here’s a way to know how your produce was grown: l Conventionally grown produce (sprayed with pesticides, weed killers and chemical fertilizers and are possibly genetically engineered) have PLU codes with four digits and begin with the number 3 or 4. (Example: 3111 is conventionally grown red fleshed papaya.) l Organically grown foods (without the use of chemicals) have PLU codes with five digits and begin with the number 9. (Example: 93111 organically grown red fleshed papaya.)

Currently there is no way of knowing if the produce you are buying has been genetically modified. It is not labeled. There is a PLU numbering system in place whenever, and if ever GM produce is required to be labeled.

The PLU code will contain 5 digits and begin with the number 8 (source: www.huffingtonpost.com).

JANUARY 2013

The majority of Americans polled say they would avoid GM foods, if they knew which ones they were. There is much controversy between the public and the Food and Drug Administration if the FDA should require agribusiness industries to identify products that contain genetically altered organisms. California’s Proposition 37 did not pass recently, which would have required food producers to inform consumers of GM content. Many big food companies in America have not supported this labeling. In fact, $44 million was spent on ad campaigns that won them the right to not label their GMO food (Source: Maria Guadagno, Dec. 7, 2012). Labeling GM foods would decrease their sales and therefore affect their bottom line.

Nearly fifty countries around the world, including Japan, Australia and Europe consider GMOs unsafe for public consumption and have restrictions or bans on the production or sales of GMOs. (Source: www.nongmoproject.org). America has one of the highest levels of GMOs in their food chain with up to 85% of its pre-packaged and processed foods coming from genetic engineering. (Source: www.naturalnews.com). We, unfortunately, should assume that most of our food, at least partially, has been genetically altered.

CASTLE ROCK MAGAZINE

According to The American Academy of Environmental Medicine, “Several animal studies indicate serious health risks associated with ingesting GM foods,” including infertility, immune problems, allergenicity, accelerated aging, faulty insulin regulation and changes in major organs and the gastrointestinal system.

With a little information we can take some measures to avoid ingesting products with GMOs: 1. Read produce stickers/labels and choose produce that begin with the number 9 and are certified 100% organically grown.

2. Buy locally grown produce/food from farmers’ markets, a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm, or a local co-op. GMOs are generally used by large multinational corporations who buy direct from large farms.

3. Grow your own produce using non-GMO seeds.

4. Become familiar with the most common GM foods and buy these foods organic - corn, soy, canola, rice, sugar beets, zucchini, squash, papaya and alfalfa. Ninety five percent of soybeans grown in America are genetically modified. Many packaged foods contain soy and therefore, more than likely, contain genetically altered organisms. According to a 2010 New York Times article, 80% of Hawaiian papaya is genetically engineered.

5. Purchase 100% grass-fed beef (as opposed to corn fed beef - the corn may be GM.).

6. If GM salmon is approved by the FDA, avoid it. AquaBounty, a U.S. company, is publicly seeking approval for a genetically modified animal that’s being raised to be eaten by humans. Genetically altered salmon would grow twice as big and twice as fast as nature made salmon, but are not natural to the environment, or to our digestive systems. Human safety and environmental impact are to be considered. (Source: The Denver Post. Dec. 9, 2012).

7. Look for products with the Non-GMO Project Seal. The NonGMO Project is a non-profit organization with a mission of protecting the non-GMO food supply and giving consumers an informed choice.

This is North America’s only third party verification for products produced according to rigorous best practices for GMO avoidance. Visit www.nongmoproject.org for a list of non-GMO foods.

8. Equip your iPhone with the new app “ShopNoGMO,” or download non-GMO lists from www.NonGMOShoppingGuide.com.

Although helpful with pre-packaged products, these resources will not help you identify GM produce.

All this wealth of information began with a little produce sticker.

Maybe they’ve been trying to stick to us for a reason – so that we’d pay more attention.

HELPING YOUR COMMUNITY

The reason I wish to attend the Forum is because of my passion for the neonatal (critically ill newborn) field of medicine. My sister and I were born just over 3 months premature. We were born needing urgent medical attention to address our countless problems. Many expected us not to survive through it all, but through the work of the neonatal staff and God’s Grace, we made it through. To this day I admire the work of those in the neonatal discipline

and I wish to repay them by directly giving back what was given to me.

I wish to serve as a neonatal physician in the neonatal intensive care unit.

The National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine would help me reach this goal.

My family and I have already been working hard to fund my trip to the Forum; however, we cannot get there alone. We are in need of sponsorship from local business owners. If you are interested in helping, please visit my website: kylebwolfe.com.

JANUARY 2013

My name is Kyle Wolfe. I am a sophomore at Douglas County High School. I have recently been accepted to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine. This will take place over a 10 day period during the summer of 2013 in Kansas City.

It is recognized as the nation’s foremost program in pre-medical education that high school students can participate in. Such an opportunity would serve as a vital start down a medical career path.

The Language of Flowers: A Novel

by Vanessa Diffenbaugh

Victoria Jones struggled in the foster system until her emancipation at age 18.

Now on her own, she doesn’t have anywhere to go and is unable to trust or get close to anyone. Her one comfort in life is her love of flowers and the language that is conveyed through them. Her talent is recognized by the owner of a local flower shop and she is given work doing what she loves. Victoria meets a reminder from a painful part of her past and must decide whether to let him in her life. As she is trying to learn to trust others, as well as herself, Victoria must come to terms with a terrible secret from her childhood.

PAM: The Victorian language of flowers was popular during the 1800’s. People would convey their feelings through the delivery of specific flowers; each with their own meanings. I found this intriguing and was excited to read more about it.

Becky, had you read about this before?

BECKY: Before reading this story I had a few basic thoughts about the meaning of flowers but I was completely unaware of the vast messages that can be sent with a flower or two. From this point forward, I will think twice before sending a bouquet of flowers!

I also enjoyed learning about the different flowers and plants that were discussed in this story. I looked a few of them up on the Internet so I could have an accurate picture in my mind while reading. This story starts in the present and looks back into Victoria’s past. Which time-frame did you enjoy or connect with the most?

JANUARY 2013

PAM: I really enjoyed the way the author switched between the two timeframes with each chapter of the book. Although I didn’t feel that I truly connected with either part, I enjoyed the different characters in the present.

Becky, which part of the story did you prefer?

BECKY: I felt a greater connection with the young Victoria and the story of how she came to be the jaded teen that we meet at the beginning of this book. I wanted to protect and love the young character but found myself shaking my head with frustration at the older Victoria. Although I understand why she became the person she did, I found it very difficult to like this character in the present tense of this story. Often I have a vivid picture in my head while reading, were you able to visualize this story as it unfolded?

PAM: I felt the same frustration with the older Victoria, Becky. I wanted to read the story, but at the same time I wanted to cover my eyes because I was worried about what she would do next! The author gave 11 CASTLE ROCK MAGAZINE

me a vivid picture of the story, especially of the flowers, the farms, and the surroundings. Were you able to form a picture with the author’s descriptions?

BECKY: Indeed! I think that she had quite a challenge to bring so many different flowers to life without giving excruciating detail. There are some wonderful female characters in this story. Which one do you think had the most impact on Victoria’s life?

PAM: I loved Renata’s character and the acceptance and support that she offered. However, I think Elizabeth had the largest impact on Victoria’s life. When she went to live with Elizabeth as a little girl, she realized how life could be for her and that she could have a home. After a tragic mistake (I will stop there so I’m not a spoiler for our readers who haven’t read this book), Victoria is put back into the system until she turns 18. However, she continues to learn about the language of flowers that Elizabeth taught her and she yearns to reconnect with her. Becky, which female character do you think was most powerful in Victoria’s life?

BECKY: Elizabeth brought a different connection to Victoria’s life than she had previously felt and had the most impact on her young life. However, she also wounded her deeply so her impact was both beautiful and destructive. Although it was a small character in the book, I like Mother Ruby. I think that she was the first person that actually challenged Victoria to mature, which ultimately had the biggest impact on her adult life. I like how this book brought a very important issue to light. Children in the foster care system are emancipated at the age of eighteen. They have no family support to help them with the transition to adulthood. Prior to this book, had you heard about this tragic issue?

PAM: I had not heard about this sad issue until reading this book. Right after I finished the book I read an article about it in a magazine. Interesting that I would encounter this subject in two ways at the same time. There is definitely a need for these young people as they become “adults” and move from the foster care system. It’s amazing the different issues that we have discovered through reading, Becky. What topic will we be exploring next month?

BECKY: Next month we will explore Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese.
