R o b M i r a b e l l i B o a r d C e r t i f i e d P e d i a t r i c D e n t i s t By Greg A Bruns Last year, we had a huge “pink” issue. It was our fi rst year supporting the Arizona Institute for Breast Health (AIBH) and the Pink Light Bridge. We actually won an award from the Andrew E. Shapiro Cancer Foundation for our coverage and support of breast cancer in 2010. It was a nationwide review of community newspapers for their breast cancer coverage throughout the year. We had no idea we were going to be judged for this category when we created the issue, and were very surprised to take fi rst place out of 2000+ other community newspapers. I’m very proud of this achievement and my team, because they are all instrumental in this success. This year we wanted to step it up a little, but not for the Shapiro award; more for the generally held belief that improvement begets success Thumbing through this issue, you might be thinking to yourself, enough with the pink already! I can appreciate that. Maybe the pink hasn’t touched you yet. Maybe you’ve gotten lucky and have snuck around the statistics of 1 in 8 women contracting some form of breast cancer. The pink colored ribbon was chosen back in the fall of 1991 by the Susan G. Komen foundation, to give moral support and represent women and their struggles with breast cancer. Pink ribbons were distributed at a “race for the cure” in New York, and the idea stuck. The root of the lapel ribbons comes from the HIV/AIDS movement, which was a nationwide concern at that time as well. The red ribbon idea was conceptualized from the yellow ribbons that gained popularity in 1979 with the Iran Hostage situation. All of these ribbons - regardless of color - are incredible indicators of how compassion and support can propagate quickly. I’ve become familiar with the pink in a couple different ways, most notably when two women close to me were diagnosed and went through the subsequent pain and fear of a biopsy, lumpectomy and radiated medicine. They are doing well now, but the fear of it coming back will always be there, regardless of the statistics of success of Continued on page 20

Page 15 October 2011 Common sense helps make Halloween holiday safe By Ritu Sadhu, M.D. A little common sense goes a long way in keeping Halloween fun and safe for you and your family. Here are some tips: Decorations For children, offer up paint or markers (washable, of course) to decorate pumpkins instead of carving them. If you use candles inside carved pumpkins, keep the jack-o-lanterns in a safe spot, away from trick or treaters and pets. Better yet, pick up battery-operated, fl ameless candles instead. It’s easy for a pumpkin to get knocked off even a sturdy table. Look out for the little ones, and make sure they don’t trip on cords on their way to treats. Costumes While it’s not fun to be a pirate without a sword, consider foam accessories. Even plastic points can be dangerous and cause harm, especially to eyes. Use makeup instead of masks, as masks limit vision. But, try the makeup a day or two ahead of time, in a small spot, to check for a possible allergic reaction. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also has issued a warning about serious risks to eyes when using decorative contact lenses distributed without a prescription and without proper fi tting by an eye care professional. The FDA has received reports of corneal ulcers. If left untreated, corneal ulcers can lead to infections, scarring, blindness and eye loss. Pick fl ame-resistant fabrics and wigs. Adding a little re fl ective tape to costumes and bags will make your children and you more visible at night.

By Christina Sampson For the fi rst time ever, Goodwill stores throughout the Valley are offering brand- new accessories ranging from hats and eye-patches to tutus and wigs in addition to their usual inventory of Halloween costume inventory. “We’ve been going through quite a few of them,” said Sandy Notbusch, the head cashier at the Goodwill on Indian School and 16th Street. The cashier added that the sparkly, pink fairy wings were especially popular with little girls and that classic masks were also popular. And she’s not worried about running out before Halloween, either. “I think we have a pretty good inventory,” she said.
