Mountain Water & GardeningBy Jackie Daoust, CCCWP Watershed Program Assistant

Irene Shonle, the CSU Extension Director for Gilpin County presented at the CCCIA Hall on Tuesday, January 17th. She covered a variety of topics, such as the new rain barrel law and restrictions on private wells and gardening. Irene’s entire PowerPoint is posted on CCCCWP’s website www.cccwp.org under “meeting minutes”. We had an assortment of interest for this event, from gardeners to Coal Creek Canyon residents interested in learning about regulations on the use of their well water and tips for mountain gardening. Most private wells drilled on or after 1972 on properties less than 35 acres are permitted for household-use only, meaning that water cannot be used to irrigate gardens, livestock, or any other outside use. The theory behind this restriction is that household use only consumes 10% of the water, and the rest returns to recharge the aquifer, whereas outdoor irrigation consumes a much larger percentage of the water even if your well is permitted for outdoor watering, you might want to protect it in drought times.Irene also presented the attendees with creative suggestions to work with the well water restrictions such as swales, berms, rain gardens, and direct downspouts to gardens. These are all ways to retain water on your property for

gardening, but these techniques also allow the water to eventually return and recharge the aquifer. Further, House Bill 16-1005 (2016) allows rain barrels to be installed at single-family households and multi-family households with 4 or fewer units. Any number of rain barrels can be used with a combined storage of up to 110 gallons. The collected water can then be used for outdoor purposes, including watering gardens or washing your car. This will truly change the way many mountain gardeners can collect water in Colorado.Furthermore, Irene discussed how the USDA introduced hardiness zones in 1960 based on the average minimum temperature. The typical zones in the mountains of Colorado are: Zone 3 -30°to -40°, Zone 4 -20°to –30°, and Zone 5 -10°to –20°. These zones can help gardeners predict what are the best and most successful kinds of plants for that region. She recommended gardeners pay attention to what zone they are in in order to choose plants that will thrive.There are many other details in Irene’s PowerPoint that discuss how to be a successful gardener by understanding your property and the microclimates that exist on it. Please check it out for all the details. Thank you to everyone who attended this exciting workshop! If you have any questions for Irene please contact her at Irene Shonle, Ph.D., Director/Agent CSU Extension Gilpin County, 303-582-9106, [email protected].

Park and Rec Update by Linda Martin, President Big news for February. Big, BIG news. We have two things to shout to the District about, except that one of them has to be shouted in a whisper, at least for the moment. We have received word from the Open Space Advisory Council that we will indeed be recommended for a grant from Jeffco Open Space for a turf baseball field at the K-8 School. The Board of County Commissioners is expected to bless this grant when they meet this month. If they give us the word, then we will ramp up that whisper to a reverberating yell. After that, it is expected that the Jefferson County School District will also make official their acceptance of the donation of a turf infield and outfield, clay dirt for the bases, and an entire perimeter fence. If we can, we will include dugouts, too. At that point, we will begin construction. This project will be a lot quicker than the soccer field, because we are using a turf product that does not need to be filled with crumb rubber, and the excavation will be minimal. We will be working with Academy Sports, the same company that did the first field. We are super excited (in whispers) and can’t wait to make this dream a reality for our community. A big whispery shout out to Jeremy King, our newest Board member, for bringing the idea to the Board with enthusiasm and integrity. The other BIG news is that on Saturday, February 18th we are hosting a big ol’ party at the Hall. 7-10 pm. We’ve hired an outstanding (& local!!) DJ and we are planning some fun surprises. We are calling it Big Ol’ Party and YOU are invited! We want to give everyone a reason to come out in the middle of winter (what does the groundhog know

about mountain living, anyway?) and have some FUN!! The event is BYOB, potluck finger foods are suggested and we will have a $5 cover to pay the DJ and rent the Hall. This is not a fundraiser. It is just pure opportunity. We hope you’ll help us spread the word widely within the Canyon. The more, the merrier! We also want to give a big shout out (this is a NOISY article!) to our sponsored clubs and classes: The next Sky Watcher meeting is Sunday, February 26th at 6:30 PM. Come see a great presentation by our local Sky Watcher Anna Waltemath. Anna will give a presentation on Archaeoastronomy – the astronomy of ancient civilizations. If the skies are clear, we’ll get out the impressive telescopes of the group. Kathy Bremers is teaching her Watercolor Painting class each Thursday at the Hall from 9:30-12. There is a $15 supply fee, come and join other like-minded folks, regardless of your ability level! The CCC Homesteaders Club will meet the second Thursday of the month. Come see what they’re learning this time! Thank you to Cheryl Walker for teaching us how to knit last month! What a terrific class! If you are interested in getting involved with the CCC Park and Rec District, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us! We meet the first Wednesday of the month at 6:30 in the Back Room of the Hall. You can email us at [email protected], call us at (303) 642-0273, “like” us on Facebook, and/or visit our website at www.cccparkandrec.org. We love to talk to people about what we do and why we do it. Health, Joy,

Emergency Preparedness Roundup – Let’s Talk ResiliencyBy Justin Bukartek, Boulder Office of Emergency ManagementResilience is the ability of a community to prepare for and respond effectively to stress. Some of the stresses will come on suddenly, like the 2013 flood, wildfires, violence or illnesses. Others take their toll over time, such as economic hardship, social inequality, or the declining health of a community and its members. In either case, resilient communities not only bounce back from these challenges but also “bounce forward”, preserving the quality of life today and improving their legacy for future generations.The most telling attribute of a community’s resilience in the aftermath of a disaster is the strength of relationships within the community itself. In other words, if you want to know whether a community can survive and thrive in

the face of extreme weather events or disasters, you should look at the strength of relationship within the community before considering the strength of the storm, the extent of damage sustained, the demographics of neighborhoods, socioeconomic status of residents, or the investments made in infrastructure. In fact, people in more socially connected communities are five times more likely to survive a disaster than people in less neighborly areas. Regardless of the type of emergency we may face, it is important to know your neighbors. When a widespread disaster is underway, formal emergency response services are likely to be overwhelmed and many regular services may be interrupted, including transportation, utilities, medical care, and the availability of food and shelter. Our neighbors will be the ones there to offer us immediate assistance and support.Building relationships and a sense of community in our canyon can go a long way in increasing the resiliency of our residents. Here are just a few ideas in taking that leap forward in engaging your fellow canyon residents to build and maintain these important relationships.

EARTHWATCHAn Overview of Climate Change by Jody Dickson Climate change is defined as when average long term weather patterns in a region are altered for extended periods of time (think decades or longer). These changes can be in average temperatures or amounts of precipitation. They come about due to an increase in the total amount of energy that is kept in the earth’s atmosphere. Naturally occurring greenhouse gases act like a blanket around Earth, trapping heat (energy) in the atmosphere by letting sunlight in, but not letting heat out into space. This change in energy spreads out around the globe mostly through ocean currents, wind and weather to affect the climates of different regions around the globe. Historically, climate change is naturally occurring and caused by things like volcanic eruptions, as well as changes in the Earth’s rotation or sun’s intensity. However, what scientists are observing now is that human activities are amplifying the natural greenhouse effect. Human activities such as cutting down carbon-absorbing forests, burning fossil fuels, heavy industrial production, and some agricultural practices result in the creation of greenhouse gases. It is the speed at which

things are changing that is making scientists believe that current climate change is largely being caused by human activities. There have been times in history where the earth has had higher average temperatures, but the change to those temperatures never has happened this fast. The speed in which climate change is happening will impact Earth’s ability to adjust to the change. Even small changes in average temperature can translate to large and potentially dangerous shifts in climate and weather. The polar ice caps are melting, and sea levels are increasing. At current rates, they are estimating that the Arctic Ocean will be ice free during the summer by 2040 and that the sea level will increase by 1 – 4 feet by the year 2100. Climate change can result in extreme weather events like floods, droughts, stronger hurricanes and wildfires. We are no longer able to forecast weather based on past models since conditions like these have never existed before. Meanwhile, it is estimated that over 1 million species are facing extinction due to disappearing habitats and changing ecosystems. These changes also impact our sources of food and water. As water supply shifts or disappears from particular areas, agricultural production is affected. What can we do about climate change? There are some basic things like changing lightbulbs, eating less meat in our diet, being conscious about energy efficiency in our homes and thinking more carefully about our travel options. Our individual actions do add up, but we need significant collective action on climate change with a focus on changing social, economic, and political infrastructure. We are going to need laws that restrict emissions on an industrial scale. Due to the scale and longevity of the impact, it is more about mitigating losses at this point. However, we still have a LOT worth protecting. It is worth the effort. Please write your politicians, talk to the

companies you buy things from, and discuss climate change with your friends and neighbors. The time is now.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WildAware - on the Road by Jan WaddingtonWhen a photo of a Bobcat trotting along Lillis Lane showed up on Coal Creek Canyon Facebook, I was reminded how often wildlife takes advantage of our plowed roads - much easier walking than through deep snow. Great for animals, not so much for drivers. Especially hazardous as we move from blinding sunlight into deep shade. Bobcats were also seen on Nadm, Camp Eden, and in the lower Canyon. A coyote was seen at Rudi Lane/Skyline intersection.Mule Deer - Bucks with nice racks, and does with young of the year - in groups too small to be called herds, were seen looking for any bits of forage and resorting to evergreen needles when nothing else could be found. A moose was photographed, but the site was not noted. Then, ‘Moose - the Twig Eater’ was shown on PBS, detailing the difficult life of moose in Minnesota and Jasper National Park in Canada. Especially applicable to our moose was the laid back ears meaning viewer was too close, and the need for sodium - sometimes salt licked off cars. This has happened here.Later this month, bluebirds will be showing up as flocks move north, and some Great Horned Owls will already be sitting on eggs. Ah! Signs of Spring.

Thanks for staying in touch and call Jan (303-642-0926) with any wildlife questions or sightings, or post on Coal Creek Canyon social media giving a general location.

(WildAware is Jan Waddington’s report on wildlife in Coal Creek Canyon. She is also a volunteer for Colorado Parks and Wildlife Bear Aware program and reports her hours to them quarterly. When necessary Wildlife Officers are contacted at 303-291-7227 or after hours at 303-239-4501. They have the ultimate responsibility for wildlife in Colorado.)

SURVIVORS IN CHAOS RESOLUTIONS MB Reith See, I broke tradition a bit by talking about Resolutions for the February edition of the 2017 Coal Creek Mountain Messenger. But as I was putzing around this longish New Year’s Eve Weekend starting the 30th and ending the 2nd, I was deep breathing for health. Ah hah! Get February column done. Hopefully of some import or interest come February issue. Caught a bit of a cold, swear at the store before Christmas cuz I knew no one sick recently sick or anywhere close enough to have provided this virus germ whatever for my personal enjoyment. My husband joined the merry cold crew a few days after Christmas. So sorry. However, he doesn’t get stuff often or “bad”. Me, on the other hand: cuz of a very stupid destructive habit called nicotine addiction and in the worst form: tobacco and worse: menthol. Believe the warnings if you are smoking them nasty tubes. I had to get antibiotics and steroids to avoid ER trip Doc said. I said I’d have to be unconscious. But got the RX. Thankful it works so well. I am not Yul Brynner or any number of folks you have seen talking about QUITTING SMOKING CIGARETTES. I am just your friend and neighbor of about 30 years. Granted I did stop about 2000, and completely end of January 2002. 35 years smoking. Not what you call heavy,

but average. Now been nicotine free for about 15 years. Completely stopped smoking cigarettes. NOW one pays the price. With rare exception. For those of us with COPD it is challenging to do just one thing: BREATHE. Especially at altitude if you are in the higher altitude of Colorado in general, and the Rocky Mountains in particular. I always say I would be darn near perfect if I hadn’t smoked those cigarettes! My health except for that is above average. UNTIL I get any type of cold. THEN it gets more difficult than ever to breathe. It’s important to breathe. If you think it can’t happen to you? Wait. This column evolved as I was checking my oxygen content-what a cool little easy machine that is. Since I got it a bit ago I now know exactly what triggers ANY difficulty breathing. I ALWAYS say in these columns: YOU know your own body better than anyone else. Listen to it. Don’t ignore it. Have you heard that one saying: People spend their youth gaining wealth at the risk of their health. Then they spend their older years spending all that wealth trying to recoup better life sustaining health. Guess what? It cannot be done. You must work on good health from the beginning of your life. First hopefully with good nutrition and habits when you are growing up. And if that didn’t happen? It is never too late to try to improve. Middle aged baby boomer reporting here. It’s just like everything else. Take one thing at a time and try to remove part of it from your life. I removed 1-2 tsp

sugar from coffee? Lost 20 pounds over 1 year! Seriously! Add in one thing at a time to improve your life. At any age you can do this. Start a routine walk. You just have to want to make a constructive change and then do it. One step at a time. No, it isn’t always fun. (Giving up bread, or most of it. Really hard) I could say that about many addictions besides nicotine. I have been blessed with not getting hooked on a myriad of destructive addictions, as unfortunately so many in our world are. The results are devastating for all having to be involved. Keep trying on your own to break cycles, addictions, destructive behavior. If you can’t and want to? THINK. You owe it to yourself. We are ALL WORTHY of happiness and blessed. Just have to open your eyes. You need to be the best person you can to survive this world feeling good. And able to help those you love and care - for to do the same. Loving and helping others is the best medicine to give yourself. But you have to be strong. Yet you have to make decisions for yourself, not for others. A couple of tricks for quitting nicotine: Me and my friend quit at about 50 years old. We said for the first year we would have our next cigarette when we turn 80! After a while we decided we probably won’t even want to if we are around. My Dad told me he was waiting like for a break to have his next one. It worked for him after about 35 years. Helped a bit but he left EARLY at 67. Quit smoking cigarettes. It is the #1 thing you can do for your health, your finances, your loved ones, your

clothing, I could go on. I waited for a guy to return in his little biz from back door where he was having a cig. He said to me, he wanted to quit but he LOVED smoking. I said I thought I did too. But I LOVE QUITTING even more!I hope one person can find reason here to quit! There is nothing good about cigarette smoking. I’m ok if you want to smoke, but hope you stop! Peace!

The next Sky Watchers meeting is: Sunday, February 26th – From 6:30 to 9:00 PM (Note: This is a new time 6:30 PM & a Sunday)At the Coal Creek Canyon Community Center (CCCIA Hall), 31528 Highway 72 (Coal Creek Canyon Road), Golden, CO 80403

Come see great presentation by our local Sky Watcher Anna Waltemath on February 26th! Anna will give a presentation on Archaeo-Astronomy – the astronomy of ancient civilizations. Anna is a recent graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder in aerospace engineering, and will be working for Lockheed Martin at Buckley Air Force Base in Denver.

R.J. Smith will show some of his astrophotography images taken through the big new telescopes, 20” Planewave CDK Telescopes on Paramount Taurus 500 mounts, at Sommers-Bausch Observatory next to the Fiske Planetarium on the University of Colorado at Boulder campus where he works.

Leonard David will also give his usual brief update on current international space exploration missions.

OUR JANUARY MEETINGOn January 15th, our local Sky Watcher Carolyn Collins Petersen gave another great presentation entitled “The Comic Story Behind Earth’s Oceans”. She explored some of the ideas about how Earth’s oceans came to be in the early history of our planet. She also spoke of the ocean worlds in our solar system on Pluto, Ceres, Europa and Enceladus. She also explored what happened to the oceans on Mars and possibly even ancient Venus. It was an evening of

FEBRUARY’S NIGHT SKIES By John WilliamsWinter’s Fun Asterism We played in the night sky with summer asterisms but if we bundle up against the cold nights in Coal Creek Canyon, we can find fun in the winter sky as well.

Asterisms are easy-to-recognize patterns. They can be part of a larger constellation or even stars from different constellations. One thing is for certain; asterisms make a great starting point for leaning the constellations. Finding the patterns make a great way to enjoy the dark nights especially with children, whose abounding storytelling abilities make them naturals at finding fun patterns in the dizzying array of stars.

We’re going to start off simple. Find the Big Dipper, climbing its way around Polaris on the northern horizon. The dipper is an asterism inside the constellation Ursa Major. It’s easy to see why ancient astronomers found a bear outline in these stars. Another easy one – find the Belt of Orion. Those three stars lead to the rest of the great hunter; one of my favorites.

Flying low in winter’s western sky is the Great Square of Pegasus. Just below this huge square and to the south look for a circle of stars. That’s the head of Picses. Mars and Venus sit right next to the Circlet after sunset.

And lastly, another fun asterism is back in Ursa Major. As the bowl rises in the north, look farther east for three fairly bright sets of two stars heading north to south. This regular pattern of stars form the paws of the giant bear. Stretch your imagination just a bit further and imagine the footprints of a gazelle. Called the “Three Leaps,” Arabic star lore describes a gazelle (drinking at “The Pond” of Coma Berenices) frightened by a lion that then sprang off leaving the three sets of wet prints in the night.

Last month, we explored the romantic meanings of star names. If you followed on a star map, you may have noticed that many of them formed a circle around the sky, centered on the bright red giant, Betelgeuse. Sky watchers call that asterism the Winter Hexagon.

February’s PlanetsAs mentioned before, Mars and Venus sit close together near Pisces in the western sky. As the month progresses, Venus slips farther from Mars after sunset. Jupiter rises early and is high in the sky if you awake before dawn. I noticed Saturn is now high enough to be picked out of the brightening morning sky. February’s Full Moon, known as the Full Snow Moon or Full Hunger Moon, occurs on February 10th.__________________________________________________________________________________________

Keep looking up!

Change of Scenery by Jody DicksonI’m starting this month’s article with a little story. I happen to live off of Camp Eden road. Like most people I presume, I drive down in the morning, and in the evening I drive up. Over the last month, I recognized that I kept noticing the lights on at night at fire station #2. I kept thinking that something was going on. I know the firefighters train there occasionally, and there are department meetings once a month. However, it was unusual to see the lights on that often. This felt like every time I came home that the lights were on at the fire station. While the lights would catch my eye at first, as I got closer there didn’t seem to be any of the equipment out nor any extra vehicles parked in the lot. There were no signs of anything going on, so what was up with the lights? Maybe the department installed new lights? Maybe they had a new policy to leave them on?It took me a few weeks of this before I realized that what had changed was my view! As part of our larger grant-funded treatment projects, the forest to the east of the fire station building was treated in the last few months. On that side of the project, we pretty much have only been removing the standing dead, but there was SO MUCH of it. (I think the

Through the remaining living trees, I can see the fire department building and its lights! The forest itself is physically transformed. It looks healthy and alive. I’d love to hear from others about their experience of what they have noticed. Let us know what you think and have noticed as our forest changes with a little care by sending an email to [email protected]

Approaching Saws SeasonThere is still a lot going on in preparation for the 2017 season. We are finalizing dates for our chainsaw skills and safety class and our forest/fire ecology education series. We are planning some tours for ourselves to see some larger treatments done by others in nearby forests. So far, we have interest in hosting Saws & Slaws events in the following neighborhoods: the Lane/Pine, Lyttle Dowdle, Chute/Gross Dam, and Sylvan. We would love to do a project on Fischer Road or in the Wondervu neighborhood, too. If you live near one of these communities and would like to participate in the work (as a volunteer or as a worksite), please contact us. If you would like to see a curbside chipping event in your community, please let us know that too. Curbside chipping is an easy way to rid yourself of piles of slash!Meanwhile, the work of organizing a standalone organization continues. We could still use some help with any and all of

these efforts. If you are interested in designing and driving what Saws & Slaws does in the near future, please let us know how you can help. Just email [email protected] or call Jody Dickson x3568.Firewood for SaleThrough some extra work done at the end of December and early January, at press time, we are caught up on our firewood deliveries. We have a few people that have requested follow up orders or need to be topped off. Needless to say, if you are interested, now is the time to get your order in. We’d love to have all the wood delivered before the spring snows come. We work about twice a month preparing and delivering firewood. We still have big goals to fill and a lot of winter left, so please consider buying firewood from us. Cords of bucked (NOT split) wood are available at $150 per cord. If you are interested in purchasing a cord or multiple cords, please contact Jody Dickson, [email protected], x3568 Let us know if you are interested in being part of our firewood crew (bucking, hauling, and occasionally splitting) Thank you, again, for your support!We look forward to working with you in 2017! Please feel free to contact us on our Facebook page or via email ([email protected]) if you are interested in participating in any capacity. This is important work, and we’d love to have you be part of it. Thank you!

Is Your Passport Ready To Travel? Don’t Get Stranded. Important Info You Should KnowDo you own a U.S Passport? Renew It Now! This is the message from many Travel Tour Companies and the State Department. Back in 2007 it was required for U.S Citizens to get a passport to travel out of the Country. But now all those passports are going to expire in the next couple years, causing a possible backlog and maybe some delays. But they say they are ready. Avoid the rush says the State Department. Just a note: Its over 125 million at least, maybe more. plus don’t forget all the new people applying for passports.

U.S. Passports are only good for 10 years, For Children only 5 years. So check those expiration dates. If you need to renew, DO IT NOW!

Did you know most countries you may be travelling to, Do Not Except Any passports that are expiring within 6 months of travel. Sorry you will be denied boarding from the airlines at the gate causing major headaches for you. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months or more beyond the travel date.

More important . . .In January 2018 The Real ID Act goes into effect. In some states you will be required to show and alternate ID, as in a military ID or a Passport. This will be for boarding Domestic U.S. flights and International flights. The TSA has started to warn people now.

So either get a passport now or get yours renewed a.s.a.p. That way you can avoid some major hassles in the years to come. How much is a passport? For a new one $135 Most can renew passports by mail for $110. For Children under the age of 16 $105. Prices are valid as of Jan 2017.

So my advice to you is get your passport ready to travel. For more info please go to travel.state.gov

A Carefully Crafted Email By Linda Martin, Director of Wee Creekers I have the most amazing job in the world. I get to play with kids, have fun, and, more importantly, I get to see the actual influence that Wee Creekers has on our small community. If you are watching Creeker graduates make their way in the world, then you know how proud I am! It is extremely rewarding. But it has its tougher moments, too. Here is an email I needed to write a few years back to the parents of a little guy who was still using the pacifier pretty heavily at age 2. If business was all I cared about, I would not have sent it. The fact is, I am passionate about kids and I dare to meddle even when it could lose me a customer. Happily, this plea did not. Dear Parents of “Johnnie”, I think it’s time to talk about the pacifier. Let me first say that Johnnie is doing awesome and we absolutely adore him! You guys are great parents and it really shows. I don’t know if either of you were Pacifier Babies and I don’t wish to pass judgment if you

were. I was a thumbsucker and had a blankie that I carried everywhere until I was 5. We moved out of state and my blankie didn’t make the move. It wasn’t until I was 19 that I realized that it was planned that way (I was re-devastated). I also don’t know what your intentions were when you started using the paci when Johnnie was a tiny baby. I used one with my kid, too. Lots of parents do. Hey, it works! Chances are, you intended to use it and then stop using it at some point along the path, perhaps never dreaming that your kid would be the walking, talking toddler with a pacifier in their mouth. But, again, I don’t really know and at this point I don’t think it matters. The point is, here you are, and here he is, and there’s the pacifier. As a passionate advocate for children, I really must take the opportunity to let you know why it might not be such a good idea. As a businesswoman, I should keep my mouth shut, not risk offending you, and continue to take your tuition money. But that’s not who I am so here goes! One thing that Johnnie is learning from being attached to the pacifier is... Addiction. That’s right. He is now a pacifier addict. Eventually he will have to give it up. If

Happy Mountain Kids….

It’s what we do!

The Baby Room is Now Open!!

you wait long enough, he will remember the addiction and also the “recovery” (which is brutal and likely the reason you haven’t gone there yet). It becomes more and more hard-wired each month. It will predispose him to having an addictive personality and he will likely struggle with vices, mainly oral vices like smoking, drinking, and/or eating excessively. It’s a problem but luckily, it’s one that can be avoided. I know this to be true and am living proof. Sadly, mine wasn’t avoided. I was 6 when I stopped sucking my thumb. I smoked for 20 years, age 15-35. I drank excessively for plenty of years and I continue to fight addiction, only now it’s chocolate. Society is more approving but the daily struggle for me is quite real. My childhood was otherwise normal and lovely. My parents were together, my brothers were great, my life was idyllic. But addiction plagued me at an early age. Another issue is the physical development of Johnnie’s mouth muscles and teeth. Both of these things have already been affected and I don’t know if the damage is done or not, but orthodontically, he is at risk. His teeth are probably not where they were intended to be. The small infant’s job is to suck. Their development depends on it. The toddler’s job is to eat solid food and talk. These require different muscles and he is not exercising the right muscles when he has a pacifier in his mouth. The last concern I have is a social/emotional one. When a child is given a pacifier to put in their mouth, they

are effectively hushed. An unintentional message that is inadvertently given is “We don’t want to hear from you”. Now, I know that you guys love Johnnie dearly and would never want to convey such a message to him but it is there underlying, nonetheless. I know how hard it has become to ask him to go without. I know you know that it is only getting harder with each day. But I implore you to do the right thing and allow him to grieve the loss of a beloved addiction so that he can recover from the ill effects to the best of his ability. You can choose to go slowly, but I would recommend ripping the proverbial bandaid off and getting through 2 solid days of Hell and then it’s done. Whatever you choose to do, here is a requirement from me. No more pacifiers in the Toddler Room. Period. Please pull it out in the car so that he may arrive without it. I know he will come in upset but he will recover instantly because he is used to not having it here. Thank you, best of luck, and I hope I have not upset you too much. --Linda.

GLAUCOMA TESTINGBy Golden Vision Clinic, P.C.

During the visual analysis, Dr. Baron performs the following tests for studying any potential of glaucoma:

TEST FOR PERIPHERAL VISION: This is done, routinely, to check the patient’s peripheral field of vision. If loss occurs, it happens so slowly that one is rarely aware of any vision loss.

INTERNAL EYE EVALUATION: This is also done, routinely, with a special instrument called an ophthalmoscope, which evaluates the structure of the interior of your eyes. In glaucoma, the internal eye pressure increases and pushes on the optic nerve head. This area is carefully studied with this instrument, to make sure all is as it should be.

ANGLE OF OUTFLOW: In order to keep your internal ocular pressure within normal limits, the angle of outflow (like a sink drain or a safety valve) must be open and clear. Details of this area are studied with a powerful microscope.

TONOMETRY: This test is performed on all patients over thirteen years of age, routinely, and others, when indicated. Our office utilizes an non-contact tonometer, which is quick

and painless. It measures the actual pressure within your eye and gives us a digital readout, which is then compared with normal pressure ranges.

GOLDMAN TONOMETER: If the pressure within your eye is high or questionably high, we use the Goldman tonometer to re-check it. This very quick and accurate method for measuring pressure is used with a powerful microscope and special dye. The reading will also be compared with normal pressure ranges.

(* Special tests performed when necessary)

*VISUAL FIELDS STUDY FOR GLAUCOMA: Our computerized, peripheral visual field instrument has a specific program which evaluates the areas that are damaged by high eye pressure from glaucoma. This instrument painlessly maps out your peripheral field of vision, in order to measure its quantitative and qualitative extent. It can reveal even very small amounts of damage resulting from glaucoma.


*FUNDUS PHOTOGRAPHY: A picture of the internal eye is taken and kept on file for future comparisons.


*PACHYOMETRY: This instrument measures the corneal thickness to accurately calibrate your eye pressure reading. (* Special tests performed when necessary)

*GONIOSCOPY: A special procedure to look into the eyes drain to determine if it is open or closed or any unusual variation of open. (* Special tests performed when necessary)

*DIURNAL VARIATIONS: The pressure in your eye varies throughout one day, hopefully within the normal ranges. If the pressure changes greatly throughout one day, your eye may not be able to withstand this continual increase and decrease of pressure. We are able to determine these variations by measuring your pressure three times in one day (9:00 a.m., noon, and 5:00 p.m.). (* Special tests performed when necessary)

Do not drink alcoholic beverages or excesses of any liquids during this day.
