Harper wants to do something bold

first, and she said there will
be thousands of people there.
When she signed up, one
question was whether Harper
wanted to stay in a tent on one
of the cots Participants only
walk during daytime hours.
"i don't do tents. Besides,
I wanted to stay with my
grandchildren Regan, 4, and
Kane, 2," she said. "We're
taking themwith us. They're
excited to do something with
grandma. They probably won't
last too long and will go home
with mom."
When Harper found a lump
in her 'breast, she immediately
went to have a mammogram
performed. The lump did not
show up. Six months later,
Harper noticed the lump was
bigger. She went for another
mammogram, and again the
lump evaded detection.
"We found that every time
they compressed the breast
the lump moved back and
out of the viewing field for
the mammogram. So they
gave me an ultrasound and
the lump showed up," Harper
said.
Harper's grandmother and
sister also had breast cancer.
A family history of the disease
is one of the risk factors. Her
sister is alive and well after six
years, so Harper is hopeful.
She called the process of
surgery and therapy a journey.
"I was bald for almost eight
months, My hair came back
dark and curly," Harper said.
"Like my sister and many
others, I want to have a lot
more success stories about
breast cancer -- me one of
them."
Harper's husband, Anthony
Harper, said he is amazed at the
number of women he knows
who would rather not know if
they have breast cancer.
"But it's getting better
with all cancers. You hear
the success stories," he said.

SEDONA RESIDENT CHRISTY HARPER walks her dogs near her
home Saturday, Oct. 30, while getting in shape for her upcoming
participation in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure walk in
Phoenix beginning Friday, Nov. 12.
Harper is a five-year cancer
survivor. He had lymphoma.
"It's important to detect
early and keep checking," he
said.
Christy Harper is collecting
pledges for her walk and
would appreciate any dona-
tion. Her goal is $5,000.

According to statistics,
without a cure one person will
die of breast cancer every 13
minutes in the United States.
More than 1.3 million women
will be diagnosed with breast
cancer globally this year, and
every year after.
"That's why I'm walking
so far -- to do something
bold about breast cancer. I
hope everyone will share this
incredible adventure with me,"
Harper said. "I know these are
tough times, but even pennies
add up."

Trevillyan requested copy of film

of professor Alexander Vershinin
and the staff of the Boris Yeltsin
Presidential Library for their
collaboration and cooperation
in making this cultural recovery
effort possible."
According to the Library of
Congress' Packard Campus for
Audio-Visual Conservation, as
many as 200 silent and sound-era
movies produced by U.S. movie
studios may survive only in the
Gosfilmofond archive.
Located outside Moscow,
Gosfilmofond is the Russian
Federation's primary film archive
of artistic, feature, documentary
and animated films. Established
in 1948, its collections includes
more than 55,000 motion
pictures, and it is the largest such
archive in the world. It is admin-
istered by the Russian Ministry
of Culture's State Committee for
Cinematography.
As Gosfilmofond holds related
materials such as scenarios,
film posters, photographs, press
clippings, set designs and the
personal papers of directors,
actors and film critics, it is also a
center for film research.
What makes the return of "The
Call of Canyon" so remark-
able, Trevillyan said, is the film
survived in a vault through the
turbulent years of World War II,
the Cold War and the collapse of
the Soviet Union.
Trevillyan has already spoken
with a Library of Congress
loan curator and filed a formal
request asking for a copy of the
film to be sent to Sedona as soon
as possible.
"It's going to be several months
before they can inspect the file
that they have been given, check
it for accuracy, corruption, make
sure it is what it is, completeness,
all that kind of stuff," Trevillyan
said.
Once the film is verified
and on its way home back to

Library of Congress.
Sedona, Trevillyan said she'd
like to partner with the Sedona
International Film Festival and
the Zane Grey West Society to
screen the film for audiences
here.
According to Trevillyan,
author Zane Grey wrote the
novel in Oak Creek Canyon
although sources are unclear at
which location.
A recent book, "Arizona's
Little Hollywood," claims journal
entries show Grey wrote the book
in Califomia and Oregon.
As the author, Grey kept
creative control of the film rights,
even though that was unusual for
films of the era. He had it shot in
Oak Creek Canyon.

After the board recently voted
to end longevity pay, discussions
of a buyout surfaced.
SFD Governing Board
member Liza Vernet prepared
packets detailing all public action
regarding longevity pay. She said
the board discussed it at almost
every meeting since Feb. 24.
Vemet said longevity pay costs
the district less than $60,000, and
when the board passed its budget
it 'lowered its contingency by that
amount making it possible to rein-
state longevity pay.
Cutting the benefit constitutes
a cut in wages, Vemet said, which
the board claimed it wouldn't do.
Graves made the motion to
restore longevity pay, seconded by
Vernet, stating he'd like to bring it
back and then allow the new board
to take action after it is sworn in.
