I have always lived in district 3, not Denver and Manitou like my opponent has. I love my community and am not the candidate who believes "what is good for the city is good for district 3". District 3 has specific strengths and challenges a...nd needs someone who knows the neighborhoods and the issues. I have been preparing for this seat for 2 years by becoming educated and developing strong relationships with community leaders and citizens. I am the candidate who has met with experts, gone on tours, sat in meetings, read materials, participated on boards, and has consisently shown interest in City Council for years. Council is not a consolation prize because another seat couldnt be won. If you want someone with strong leadership, common sense, belief in good business practices, and is ethical, your only choice is LISA CZELATDKO.

Scientists believe that eating purple fruit may help ward off age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s, heart problems, and cancer.  The chances of getting multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease may also be reduced by consuming blueberries, blackberries, blackcurrants or plums, according to a study by the University of Manchester.  Researchers say one or two of the recommended five daily portions of fruits and vegetables should be purple fruit.
A substance in purple fruit helps fight the harmful effects of iron, which can damage cells if it makes its way through the digestive system in the wrong form.  Polyphenols, which make blueberries and other fruits purple, are able to grab iron and keep it out of harm’s way.  Green tea contains a similar compound, as does curcumin, the key ingredient of the curry spice turmeric.

Thanks, Wendy! The Fountain Farmer's Market is great -- every Tuesday afternoon right in front of City Hall.

Speaking of healthy, the Fountain Farmer's Market has asked me to spread the word that there's only two weeks left!!! Two weeks! Then it's canned and jarred food till spring!

Great article in the Denver Post about revamping school meals—article focuses mainly on Denver, but the effort is statewide. One of the culinary boot camps took place at D11 in June with Chef Andy Nowak (mentioned in the article, and on the Board of Advisors for Operation Frontline). Here’s to getting nutritious, freshly made food back into our schools!
