LARSON NEWSPAPERS
Just think, the simple act of
walking can help find a cure for
breast cancer.
Sedona's Christy Harper is
going to walk 60 miles to help
find a cure for
the disease
she was diag-
nosed with
two years ago.
Harper is a
breast cancer
survivor. She
will walk in
the Phoenix
Christy Harper Susan G.
Komen 3-Day
for the Cure on Friday, Saturday
and Sunday, Nov. 12, 13 and
14.
"The more attention we get
for breast cancer, the more
we get for research. We're
getting so close to a cure,"
Harper said.
Harper walks six miles with
her three dogs every day, and
has set her goal for 20 miles a
day over the three days. Walking
with her will be her son-in-law,
Greg Ayers. He is the one who
challenged Harper to do the
walk.
"My daughter Cassie and Greg
live in Phoenix. I'll be staying
with them," Harper said. "We'll
be bused to different locations
to walk: Gilbert, Scottsdale and,
of course, one day in Phoenix so
more people can participate."
The Susan G. Komen 3-Day
for the Cure is a 60-mile walk
for women and men who want
to make a personal difference
in the fight to end breast cancer.
Participants collect a minimum
of $2,300, raising both funds
and awareness through their
efforts.
Komen's sister, Nancy G~
Brinker, promised Komen she
would do everything in her
power to end breast cancer
forever. In 1982, Brinker
launched the global breast
cancer movement. It is the
largest grassroots network of
breast cancer survivors and
activists, and has become the
largest source of nonprofit funds
dedicated to the fight against
breast cancer, according to the
Susan G. Komen foundation.

The Russians just saved a little
piece of Sedona's Western film
history.
For-decades, "The Call of the
' Canyon;" the 1923 silent film
that kicked off Sedona as a set
location for more than 60 movies,
was considered lost forever.
However, on Oct. 21, Vladimir
Kozhin, head of management and
administration of the president of
the Russian Federation, presented
"The Call of the Canyon" and
nine other digitally preserved
copies of "lost" sileht films to
the U.S. Library of Congress in
Washington, D.C.
The films are the first install-
ment of an ongoing series of
',lost" U.S. films the Russians will
give to the Library of Congress.
The ,films were digitally
preserved by Gosfilmofond, the
Russian Federation's state film
archive, and donated via.the
Boris Yeltsin Presidential Eibrary
in St. Petersburg, Russia.
"This is really exciting stuff,"
said Janeen Trevillyan, with the"
Sedona Heritage Museum. "We
heard rumors about this film
being somewhere, including
Russia. But we just thought it had
been lost."
Before the invention of home
movies and television, once a
film finished a theatrical run, it
was of little profitable use to a
studio and seen as a mere storage
problem.
Early films were notoriously
diffibult to safely store because
the nitrate reels could become
brittle and slowly degrade into
a highly flammable powderl

1920s and 1930s from improp-
