We arc here. basically. to thank you for your continued s upport of the Englewood High School Homecoming Parade. We are the only traditional high school in the area and this homecoming event has been going on for a long time. We know there arc budget c utbacks and all that and I know it is expensive to do this, but we would like 10 thank you for your support in carrying o n thi s tradition . He said I am here if you have any questions for me . Counci l Member Bradshaw said I think it is a very worthwhile thing .

We appreciate your coming and we will enjoy the parade. (b) Rachel Lord, pa.st president and member of Associated Rcflexologists of Colorado, and Adrianne Fahey, dm1m trauvc Secretary o f American Reflexology Certification Board, were present to discuss information provided by the rnencan Reflexo logy ertification Board which sets the national standards for Reflexologists. M Fahey said I am pa.st president and secretary of the Associated Reflexologists of Colorado and the current Administrative Secretary for the rnerican Reflexology Certification Board. M Lord td I guess I am going 10 be the first speaker on reflexology . I would like lo tell you a lilllc bit about my bac kground . I have been in the medical profession for many , many years both in Western and Alternative medicine. I was an 1ntens1ve care nurse at Swedish Medical Center for 15 years and now I have a holistic health clinic over on old Hampden. I pracu e massage therapy there . reflexology. herbal medicine and I also teach reflexology classes to prepare students for c mfi auon from the American Reflexology Certification Board. That Board is a Certification Board that sets the standards fo r cduca11on of reflexology in the country. So, the real reason I am here is lo talk about. .. one, the difference between r fle,ology and massage therapy. so that you can understand that. and the second reason , that you have already alluded 10, is the need for the e,empuo n or separation of reflexology from the present ordinance that is in place for massage therapy in the Ct1> th.it 1s the reason. Just so yo u understand what reflexology is ... reflexology is the application of pressure in a very ,pe,1 hc ,-,1) to the hands. feet and external ear. II is us ually done for the purpose of eliciting the relaxation response. The rel,; ..111 n re ponsc make phy 1olog1cal changes in the body, which allow for healing to occ ur in the person. So, it is a very IX'"'"" thing It I ampler th a n massage therapy. II only requires the removal of your s hoes and socks. And that is it. That 1, ~ ood defimuon of u So. we arc aski ng for an exemption o f that from the massage ordinance. There is a lot o ut there to b.1, 1h.11 up The men ,;n Ma age Therapy Association is one of the main organizations for massage therapy in the rnuntn and the al,o strongly recommend that any State or municipality considering licensure, make reflexology exempt twm II lhe) ha,e a model ode proposal and it is called Exemption 3.05 and that says, "ask for exemption for persons who re,1r...-11he tr mampulauon o f the soft tissue of the body. to the hand, feel or ears and do not hold themselves out to be a ,_.. e 1herap1 1 or do massage therapy." So. that is pretty much the definition of what a rcflcxologisl is . So, even the JI• ,n.;J l~ge orgamza uo n 1s asking for a separation and au understanding that they arc not the same. Within the rctl ,, ,Iv ) pro e ,on 11self there 1s really a hierarchy of organizations that work together and they go from a Stale, to a '\ r 11,.> n lnttrnauonal le ve l. On the State level there is the Associated Rellexologi sts of Colorado, which I am a past nt of Jnd , 1> dnanne. They work along with the National Association, which is the Reflexology Association of \nJ b.-t"ccn the ,,..o of them. there is a lot of communication and an intention to make the public more aware of nJer 1 >(,d b peo ple and also 10 create a safe environment for reflexologisls to practice in. There is an ..-1Jll<1n. "ell. ,-hic h is having an loternational Convention in Amsterdam right now, as we speak. , >k>s~ 1 r p.,pul,11 in other countrie and it is a very well respected profession. There is also the American \ Ccr11fi.-th>n Board , ,-h,ch Adrianne is going 10 talk about. whic h sets the standards for education. And then RCT . "h1ch 1s another organization. that even accred its its schools and teachers. So, you can see that ' ... .. • • - 0 Englewood City CouncU September 19, 2005 Page3 (J the profession itself is really trying to self-regulate and make it a respected profession in the community and make it so that people have safe practice ... that they arc not hurting anybody and the public is protected and yet reflexologists, as well, feel that they can proudly practice what they do. Ms . Adrianne Fahey said thank you Rachel. There is just one thing I want to comment about what Rachel said, she said that the American Reflexology Certification Board sets educational standards ... we do not. ACARET , which stands for the American Commission for the Accreditation of Reflexology Education and Training, is the organization that has the mission of setting the educational standards for reflexology . The American Reflexology Certification Board is simply an organization that was formed in 1991 and started testing in 1992 and their aim is to certify the competency of reflexoloty practitioners. We have a test. .. there are three prerequisites for testing . Number one is that an individual be II least 18 years of age or older; number two, they have a high school diploma or the equivalent and number three, that they have al least 110 hours of hands-on, in-class instruction through certification, if available. Now, most reputable reflexolosy 11:hools have al least a 200 hour program of which 110 hours of that is hands-on, in-class instruction on reflexoloay. She said I jUII WUlled to tell you a little bit about the comparisons between the massage national exam versus reflexolosy national exam . Our i a three-part examination. We have a written portion, comprised of 300 questions, which are all muhiple choice and.'or true/false . There is a practical portion, which the National Massage Therapy Auociation does not have ... they do noc have a practical. .. we do, it is a 30 minute practical, where an individual is asked to work on a proctor's feet. They are asked to work specific reflex point areas . They are asked general questions that a first time individual mipl ask of a pnclilioaer, when they first come for a reflexology session ... they ask general quc&tions about the reflexoloay field in aenenJ . And then. there is a documented portion, where they have to go out and work on 30 people, three times each for a IOCal of 90 SCS&ions . They have to document those on ARCB forms according to our standards . And, they have to pus all three portions of this ICSI in order to be nationally certified through ARCB . She said I also would like to talk about IIOOIC of the lepl pruedcnts. You received some handouts prior to this meeting tonight . One was relative to the Henderson. Nevada ReflexoloaY Code. There have been 32 states that have enacted statewide massage laws and of those states, 8 of them have exe~ for reflexolosy from those laws and there are actually two states in the United States that have aeparatc reflexolosy laws ... they are North Dakoca and Tennessee . Tennessee is more of a registration license, but North Dakota has its own edul:ational standarda, requirements and that sort of thing. Municipalities and counties are also exemptina reflexo~ from the masuae law . San Diego , California is one and Gwinnett County, Georgia is another. So, some are catablilhi• separMe ordinances and some are exempting reflexology from the massage law . So, wc arc respectfully rcqucllina either an eXC1llpCIOII or,• ,o.i DOied in your discussion group , a separate ordinance for reflexology, because it really is different from -,e. We are also requesting this, because it is one of the safest modalities out there . I did talk with the Allociaad Body Work and ~ae Profess ionals in Evergreen. They provide liability insurance to body workers . The ABMP. • tbcy 11e uo-and die IMA Group , are the two leading liability insurers , insuring a lot of these different body work modalibea. I llappened IO tall: IO them the other day and I asked them if they had had any claims against any refleJ1olopsts. Ddlble. in die i-..:e department over there , said that in the two years she has been workina there , lhc has never beard of aa,o-who 11M filed a liability claim against a reflcxologist. So , for those reasons, wc either would respectfully reci-t aa ellnlpCIOII or, if you see fit. to have a separate ordinance for reflexology . We thank you very much for your time and llllerllion. Mayor Garrett sai d thank you very muc h. He sai d as you probably heard at our Stlldy Se ion. we are bav,111 the fiMnCe gro up look at a se paration between ma ssage therapy and rcflellology , so that will be o•ou11.

I said no Dave, our graduates don 't duck tail and run, you stand and we will stand with you. He did and to make that long story short, condense it into 5 minutes, he not only got his license through the Board of Massage . After examining his credentials, the State said go to the Massage Board of the State o f Delaware and tell them to give you a massage technician license. He did, they examined his credentials, as the State had. and based on the credentials from the Modem Institute of Reflexology, he is now able to practice legally in the State of Delaware. So really watch out for the wrong schQO)s and try to protect them. Ours was good enough to get him under the wire ... it also set a precedent all across the United States for people who have the credential from our school. That is all you have to do is go to the massage board, if there is one ... in Colorado there isn't ... and you can get them to issue you a massage technician license, based on your credentials from Modem Institute. Now all of our graduates can practice if they have a massage law. without any problem, as a massage technician ... doing reflexology. Gwinnett County, you heard about that fr o m Ms. Fahey, that was one of our graduates down there that ran into a massage law with Gwinnett County. Gwinnett County. you all heard about that .. .it is notorious ... with the runaway bride, wetbacks as they call them down there and a couple of other incidents ... the black guy that killed a bunch of people. Well, Gwinnett County called our graduate to task and they required that s he be a massage therapist. I told her to stand her ground and pray and she did. She ended up sending the Board a lot of information. The whole story is on my web site, so write this down ... since I only have 5 minutes my website will finish my story, so get your pencil out.. .. www.reflexologyinstitute.com. By the way, as you heard from Adrianne, they ended up changing the law and making a special exemption for reflexologist in Gwinnett County, Georgia ... so she is now a practicing reflexologist. And incidentally, the National Certification Board for Musa,c Therapy and Body Work said she could take the test based on her credential. She didn't have to go through all those extra scudies. since we don 't teach massage therapy and it was really a blessing. I am going to leave this packet of pages from my website coveri ng some of these vital topics, for people that don't want to take the time to do it. Also, I have a little packet on our sc hool , what a student goes through to get signed up, legally, in the State ofColorado ... we have a contract ... 1 privlle occupational school, and you understand all that . So I assume my time is up and if it isn't, I'm going to quit early and leave a good taste in your mouth . Remember www .reflexologyinstitute.com. We stand for not just reflexology, but full spectrum reflexology and it will tell you on the website what that is all about. Thank you. Mayor Garrett said thank you very much . Council Member Woodward said may I ask, where is your school? Mr. Brinkerhoff said mine is II 7063 Wat Colfax . We have a 3000 square foot facility. O ur program is primarily home-study . We don't want to make reflcxolol}' too complicated ... let's keep it simple. You can be out barefooted and walk on the rocks and get thc umc lhllla I'd do IO you 1n o ur clinic, for all practical purposes. So, this is what I tell people. Let's just keep it simple. So if you -ID .-Y -· I'll work on you or you could put on your socks and walk in the gravel driveway. Incidentally, I had a lady come 1a ud I worked on her back, her back pain went away ... relaxation is .great, but a lot of things go on with reluabon .. Side benefits . And so the next thing, she called to tell me her back pain was coming back. so I said find a gravel dnve,..ay and she did. Call me tomorrow, I said, and s he did. I s· :d how do you feel, did you walk an hour like I told you IO, wllll COClll>II IOCb on the grave l driveway. She said yes, but I ended it in five minutes, my back pain went away and I said s.nce the pavel dnveway was so far away, did you bring some rocks home? He said you see I am trying io help you undenlaad. reflc~ 1111'1 complicated . Let's not make a big mountain o ut of a molehill .

This would be my first c harity event and I can think of no better reason for me to go out and make people laugh than for money for people who have no re ason to laugh . I thank you for your time and I will answer any questions you like. Council Member Woodward said David, when is your event? Mr. Baker said we do not have anything set right now. Thi s was brought to me about four days ago, actually, when I contacted a member of the City Council. I am not real sure who I did talk to, but I was invited to this meeting tonight to speak before you all . Thank you very much for letting me come. Mayor Garrett said you could call the City Manager's office at 303-762-2310. Mr . Garrett said ask for Carol as she does a lot of our event stuff and she could probably help you. Mr . Baker said does it sound like a good idea for you guys? City Manager Scars said Carol McGuigan is her name, but you could probably talk to Mike Flaherty, our Assistant City Manager. We have a lot of employees who arc very interested in doing an event with Red Bird Farms. We have done some o ther things for 9 -11 and we are trying to put some things together and could work with you to be part of that whole thing . Mr. Baker said the reason why I was getting the Englewood School District together is because my shows arc good for all ages. I don't talk nasty or do any bad stuff. Kids really find nothing more funny than to listen to the stupid things I did as a child, trying to figure out adolescence. So, if we could make this a joint effort, it would mean so much to me, because it would make Englewood look good. I'm from South Carolina, but I have never lived in a city where I have felt more at home than I have in Englewood. I have been here since March. Thank you so much for your time. (c) Robert Mc Vay, 3462 South Grant, said I just want to find out about a rumor going around that the City is going to buy up all the old houses and put in a shopping mart. Everybody has asked me why, and I don't know, so I thought I would come and find out whether it is true or not. Mayor Garrett said would this be the 3400 block of South Grant? Mr. Mc Vay said yes . C o uncil Member Bradshaw said it is not true. Mr. McVay said not true? Mr. Garrett said we haven't talked about it. Mr. Mc Vay said okay, well that is what I wanted to find out. Everybody has been asking me, since I'm a block captain and I said · I don't know. So I said I would have to come down and find out. Thank you very much. Co unc il Member Woodward said 1 was out in the community this weekend and I had the same question asked of me. I said I am not aware of it and, being on Council, I would expect to be aware of something like that, but I have heard nothing of this . I do n't know where this rumor started. Mr. Mc Vay said I don't either. Mr. Woodward said as far as I know there is abso lutely no truth to it. M ayor Garrett said that is from the City's perspective.• There could be some private individual out there that could be doing something, but not the City. Co un ci l Me mber T o masso said is it the Masonic Project , where they arc redeve loping the Masonic Lodge into the condos and the offices? M s. Brads haw said th at wo uld be 3500. Mr. McVay said yes, the 3500 bl ock. However, Counci l Member Barrent ine said, if you c ut any deals, or sign any contrac ts, would you let us know ? Mr. Mc Vay said I would gladl y ... l 've bee n the re since 1948 and I don't wa nt to move either. Thank you very muc h . Coun c il Me mbe r Brad sha w said John just bro ught up a point. .. go ahead . Cou nci l Me mber Moo re said we recentl y had a property here that was talking about multi -family housing or setting up an apartme nt ... I be li eve that was in the 3400 block of So uth Grant , wasn't it ? Mr. T o masso said that was Logan. Ms . Bradshaw said no, no yo u guys, it is the lo t o n Grant and Girard and they ha ve lowered the price. Now it is for sale at rhe ba rgai n price o f $279 ,000.00. But, Mr. Mc Vay, I think there is someone who wants to develop that corner lot that has been fo r sale for a lo ng time , a nd the City has nothing to do with that. (d ) A lice Hanna, 4420 South E lati Street, said I am the c urrent President o f E nglewood Unleashed . s ucceeded G reg Ka iner . I j ust wanted to follow-up on the d isc ussion that we had at the Study Session. First of all I wanted to thank Ci ty Cou nci l, the Parks and Recreation Commiss io n, the Parks and Recreatio n Depart{llC nt a nd the C ity Manager's t ... • • Englewood City CouncU September 19, 2005 P1ge6 (J office, because it has been three years of constant discussions and meetings and the Council meetings and I know this is an issue that we all want to resolve and move forward and get something on line for the future . I want to talk a little bit about the water study and the stewardship issue. I know I am kind of recapping on what was discussed at the Study Session. But, Englewood Unleashed started a year ago, exactly for this reason ... to be a steward of the community ... the off-leash community. One thing that was interesting, about that water study, is that they did all these reviews, but there was not another formal off-leash organization that adopted any of these off-leash parks. So, I think one of the crucial ways for this to be a very positive community event, is to have Englewood Unleashed work hands-on with the community and the City to work on this in the future . We did discuss the red, yellow, green light system and we have talked with the Parks and Recreation Department about that extensively, and I think that is a very good idea. There arc a lot of people who have gone to Denver parks and they have seen this in effect and it works, because the City at any time can go ahead and say "listen guys, you need to pick up after yourself, we arc going to yellow and if you don't do it within this time frame, we arc going to shut you down and you can't come back and enjoy this park until we actually do have compliance". You know we all arc water drinkers as well and I don't have bottled water, so I want clean water ... so I think this is an issue that concerns all of us . It is not just that we want an off-leash park, but we want a clean off-leash park. We also don't want to go to an off-leash park that is dirty. Already, we have monthly cleanups at Jason Park. Many people here participated in a brunch and off-leash park cleanup yesterday. You know some people don't pick up after their dogs, but we do self-enforcement. If you come there with your dog and your dog goes to the bathroom and no one is picking it up, there arc lots of people who have no qualms about telling you to pick up after your dog. The City doesn't provide the poop bags ... so we actually bring the poop bags to the park. We constantly have an e-mail list and we send out e-mails telling people that they need bags and also just to make sure that they do clean up after their dogs. We would actually like to come to some resolution on this issue. I know there was discussion at the Study Session, but I am not quite sure what the next step is. I don't know if you need to actually vote to go forward with this, but if you do, I would really appreciate it if you could clarify, so that we can start soliciting donations . We have several corporations that arc interested in donating, but they really don't want to until they know that we are going forward with this. We also have several fund raising events that we planned, but we can't really promote it unless we have a park to dedicate the funds to. We also have people who have not joined Englewood Unleashed, because they have been seeing this going on for three years and this is a lot of talk and we have been working back and forth, but they really want some results. I think there will be a lot more excitement in the off-leash community, because it will be something positive. We already have about 75 members right now, plus a lot of people who arc involved, butjUSI not as official members. So, I would ask for a vote, if possible, to go forward with Belleview and l appreciate all your time and efforts in this regard . Thank you . Mayor Garrett said thank you very much. He said as a clarification this Council has appropriated SS0,000.00 in the 2005 budget for various activities ... which we did last year. We have spent approximately $30,000.00 of that to do two different studies . Council said, basically. by consensus ... no, not by consensus ... but, Council said to go forwud and spend the rest of the $20,000.00 for 2005 on a series of items, which I don't have in front of me. But that included things up 10 that water quality and the silt and the seeding. In the budget, cum:ntly, there is SS0,000.00 allocated to this project from Open Space Funds in the budget for 2006. In a few seconds we will open up a Public Hearing on the 2006 Proposed Budact . We then will have a discuss ion on Saturday on the 2006 Budget and then it will go to readings on the first and third Mondays in Octo ber. If it goes through the process and stays a part of the budget, then it is part of the budget that we have approved for 2006. That is bas ically the process. Counc il Member Woodward said we have moved forward with the balance of the funds for 2005 to move forward with the work . Counc il Member Wolos yn said a s I asked during the meeting, I guess that means you can begin immediately. 8.

(Sec Agenda Item 9 -Consent Agenda.) 12 . General Discussion (a) Mayor's Choice (i) Mayor Garrett said in your packet, A & A Tradin' Post, which has been in Englewood for 50 years, has requested that we pass a proclamation recognizing that fact. I think it would probably be a good idea and would suggest that we do that at the next Council meeting. Ms. Bradshaw said is that in time for their celebration? Mr. Garrett said theirs is on the s• and our meeting is on the 3n1 _ Ms. Bradshaw said okay. good. Mayor Garrett said they asked me to come and help facilitate the festivities. Council Member Woodward said that is a place that has been around town, well before I came here, but it is always the place that you can go to find that odd little thing. I think they arc a great pan of the community. So. Mayor Garrett said. we will have the proclamation on October 3n1. (b) Council Members' Choice (i} Council Member Barrentine: I . She said I was a little confused by some of the conversation that was going on. You said that. by consensus, wc had agreed to go ahead and stan on this ... on doing the dog park. Mayor Garren said I retracted that. Ms. Barrentine said I am against, and have been in the past, and still am. about things being done in Study Session and if that is what is going to happen. that it be brought to a vote here . We arc appropriating for some property, potentially, not only in this year's budget. but also next year's budget...for what could amount to $130,000.00 and I think it is important for that to be voted on. It was my understanding that we were moving this over into the budget discussion, but if that is not the case. then I think that we should vote on whether we move forward on staning this project. Mayor Garrett said I withdrew the consensus remark immediately, because I knew that was not the case. Ms . Barrentine 0 said then Olga followed it up with the comment that it would just start. Well. Mayor Garrett said, the $20.000.00 was a prior appropriation from the 2005 budget, so, basically, Council said what wc had talked about with Parks and Recreation and the other party ... that they would not usc·that money until Council gave the go ahead , even though it was already appropriated in the 2005 budget. The $50,000.00, for the 2006 budget, is in the budget and if the budget is approved . with it in it , then it is in there and that will be presented to us at the two Council meetings in Oc1 o ber. Ms. Barrentine said that is not with the understanding that it would be used to do the dog park. That was with the understanding chat we would go ahead and at least stan the studies and that a decision would be made after the studies came th rough. And no w that piece has happened , but the second pan hasn 't. I do understand what you arc saying, but if you have tak e n back that consensus remark and we are not automatically going forward with it until we do the budget piece, then I apolo gi ze . Ma yo r Garrett said the $50,000.00 for next year is in the budget and it depends on how the budget passes, if it is in it or not and if the budget pa sses or not. He said is that okay? Ms . Barrentine said okay and thank you. Mayor Garrett said I apol ogize for the consensus remark , ii was a slip . Ms. Barrenune said o ka y . Well , like I said , when we are committing funds , not only for this year, but for next, it is important fo r th ose things not 10 be so mething that is done in Study Session and those votes just need to happen . 2 . he sa id I wanted 10 thank the reflexology people for coming and giving us additional information . I certainly learned a great dea l. I'll try the rock thing , but I w1mted to thank Shirley for seeing this through . I appreciate the educauon . th a nk yo u. t ... .. • • Englewood City Coundl September 19, 2005 Page 10 (ii) Council Member Woodward: I . He said KEB held their second weekend of their Household Hazardous Material Roundup this weekend, on Saturday. In addition to doing that, this weekend we collected for the Red Cross. So, as people came in we were able to collect some money that, hopefully, l will be able to take down to the Red Cross office, either tomorrow or Wednesday, for Katrina in the name of Keep Englewood Beautiful, the City of Englewood and the City of Littleton. 2. He said, with regard to Katrina and the things the City is doing and some of the items of concern reprding donations, it was suggested to me by a citiz.cn that we may be interested in identifying a Sister City in Louisiana or in Mississippi and finding that particular city and working with them specifically to do what we can to help them. I am just throwing that out as a suggestion. 3. He said, again, I just want to acknowledge Englewood Unlcubcd for what they did for the Humane Society in delivering stuff for Katrina relief. l have an e -mail here indicating that they pve 30 bap of large dog food, 4 C8ICS of wet dog food, 10 cases of cat food ... item after item after item and it is just very complimentary of the thinp that they have done in the community over the last ... little more than a year that they have been in elliatencc. That, I think, is the 11tcwardship that I'm talking about, when I'm talking about an off-leash park. Thank you. 13 .

Recognition of SchNluled Publk Comment (a) Serafin Garcia. landlord for the property at 2893 south Broadway. said my wife, Terry Rinaldo and Grant from the Magnet Inn. and Yirgu from M D Liqoors are with me . They arc both tenants in the buildings we own there . We are here because of a problem that they are having with a tree . I believe that Terry's daughter has written to the Planning Dcpanmcnt and got a response that nothing could be done about the possibility of removing that tree, "'h,ch ts obstruct mg two awnings that are right in that tocation. We have SOl!lC pictures that will better give the details, JUSt for the record . That tree. I believe. was planted there around 5 or 7 years ago when the beautification program was brought up for Englewood. The two awnings. that are there presently, were partially paid for with the same funds from the Ctty or the Beauttfi ca tt on Planning Board or whatever it is. So. we have a situation today that, while the awnings helped a lot. the obstruct;on is also caused by the City . And we are here to sec what cu be done about removing that tree from there . I believe that Terry or both of the tenants will have some words to say about the matter. Ma)Or Garrett a ked if he had anything else . Mr . Garcia said no, unless you have some questions that I have to answer . Mr Garrett sa id what we will do 1s we will turn this over to Public Works . Ladd in traffic, and the City Manaacr and he "'111 get a report back to Ctty Council on the situation so we can beuer understand and we will be in COlllaCt with you.

Mr . Garcia said thank you. I believe that some people here have something to say about it and maybe they will give you a little more information. Mayor Garrett said it will be in the next portion . They have signed up to speak in the next session, so we will hear them in a second. Thank you very much . 7 . Recognition or Unscheduled Public Comment Todd Erickson, 4175 South Lipan Street, said I have been a resident of Englewood for the past eight years and the Denver metro area for about 34 years. I would like to state that if you would like to listen to the comments of the people involved with the gentleman that you just heard from first to keep the continuity of the discussion, we would be willing to wait until that discussion is over. Mayor Garrett said it is your choice ... you were the first to sign up so you can make the choice. Mr. Erickson said I think it might help you to have the discussion continued rather than break it up into two separate items. so we will be glad to wait until they arc finished. Mayor Garren said thank you sir, wc will come back to you . (a) Clifton Sizemore, 6831 South Downing Circle in Centennial, said we don't want to destroy that tree ... it is a beautiful tree. My wife and I arc more than willing to take and put a planter out there, we will pay for it, we will maintain it, we will do anything, but it is just that if you arc going north on Broadway, you cannot sec our place of business and it docs hurt us. I have had friends that I' vc told where wc arc located at and they come down and they can 't sec it and they go home and the next day I sec them and they say well we couldn't find the place. It is just a IRC and I don't want to kill the tree, don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful tree ... it really is. I sec what the City of Englewood is doing, but the thing is, I don't think the City of Englewood wants to hurt my business. I really don't. We pay our taxes and everything and I would just like the tree to be removed and put something out there that doesn't hide my business . That's all . I thank you very much for your time. Mr . Sizemore thanked Mr . Erickson. Mayor Garrett said thank you very much. (b) Todd Erickson said thank you for the opportunity to speak to you today . On my right is Shirley Fri e nd , s he is a business owner in the City of Englewood. She is in the Hawthorne Bocanical building on South Broadway. Shirley has asked me to speak for her today because she is quite shy and gets very flustered when talking in public . I have been her attorney in the past and my wife is also one of her cl ients . Today I am speaking not as her att orn ey . but as a friend and someone worried about her business. Shirley has been a business owner in the City of Engle wood fo r the pas t s ix and a half years . She docs reflexology and body work in the Hawthorne Botanical building. And rig ht now s he has a pro blem and she is looking for your help. A few weeks ago Shirley was visited by a detective fro m Eng lewood aski ng fo r her M assage Therapy License. which she did not have . She docs not consider herself a mas sage th e r apist a nd was quite concerned when the detective visited her. Upon understanding that she may be in vi olati on of the Code. s he hired me to help her get the licensing requirements and meet the City Code. Shirley docs reflex o lo gy and body wo rk . which. if you arc not familiar with it. which I was not, is the practice of moving muscles bac k into pl ace when they have come unaligned ... as opposed to massage therapists who work with the muscles th emsel ve s . The training for massage therapists and the !faining for reflcxologists and body workers arc completely differe nt . They do n't go to the same school s. they don't talk the same language and there is 001 a lol of interaction ... ! mea n 111 s two separate professions. Anyway. once Shirley found OUI that she was possibly in violation of the Code, she stancd th e process to become licensed in Englewood. For the past six and one half years Shirley has 001 onl y been a bu sine ss o w ner here in E ng le wood, but has been a very valuable member of the business community. She is a member o f the C ha m ber of Comme rce . She has received awards from the Chamber of Commerce and as wc were walking around wa iting fo r th e meeting to start. she mentioned that the Council room. where you were holding the Study Group carher ... he d idn 't know how many times she had been in there doing charity and Chamber of Commerce cvcnlS for free . She has worked wuh many c hanlics in Englewood. including evems at the Malley Center. the RccrcatJon Center and here ID the C it y building. She moved 1010 Englewood as a bus inc person in 1999, felt very welcome and accepted and has done a muc h as s he can to become part o f the communit y. She donate a great amoun1 of bmc to Inter Faith Communi ty Services . local school and the Ya ffe House. whi h 1 1 place for fanul y members to suy while ocher fam1l ) members are ID St. Anthony Hospital. She has also been invo lved m fund raisers for the C hamber. the E ng lewood ' .. • • -= Englewood City CouncU September 6, 2005 Page4 Education Foundation, Inter Faith Community Services and the Veterinary Referral Services ... a building over by the Spons Authority building . Shirley estimates that about 50% of her clients live and work in Englewood and this includes a number of City employees ... she knows a number of them at all levels of the City government. What Shirley is asking for is not a license to practice in Englewood, what she is asking for is a resolution that would allow her time to come within the City Code and continue her business in Englewood and continue serving her clients in the City of Englewood. She has spent approximately $8,000.00 on her education, has between 3000 and 4500 hours of experience and education. Unfortunately the education she has received has been from massage teachers who are not accredited by the City or accredited by the State, because they are not massage therapy teachers, they are reflexology and body work teachers. So, she is caught in the middle and she would like to stay in Englewood. She would like to continue her bus iness. She would like to come into compliance with the Code. She is very apologetic that this situation has come up. She wants to remain in Englewood as a valuable member of the community, but she does need a little time to come into compliance with the City Code. What she asks for is a waiver of the business license requirement for six months, so that she can get the necessary accredited education and continue in Englewood. She is now available for any questions you may have. Mayor Garrett said thank you very much . Generally this is the portion where we listen to what people are telling us and asking us . If, during Council Members Choice, one of the Council Members has anything they need to comment on. they will . Just so I understand, what you are saying is you would like a waiver for a six monlh period and at that point in time all the applicable provisions of our City Code would be followed, is that correct? Mr. Erickson said yes. Mayor Garrett said thank you very much, that is what we needed to know. 8 .

She said I am here this evening to try to correct some language that was in some prior motions that we had involving. specifically. approval to apply for two loans ... one from Mile High Housing Funds and o ne from Colo nial Bank. In each of those resolutions the way the language was interpreted by the Accou ntin g Department, it allowed us to sole ly use the funds only for the redemption costs and not for reimbursing any other costs that might be associated with the redemption ... as l stated before, possible eviction or any of the rehabilitation and it also did not allow us to reimburse ourselves for some of those past•expcnses that we had on -the pnor foreclosures that we had earlier in the year. So thi particular resolution just corrects the language so that those funds can be used to cover the foreclosure costs and reimburse us for the past ones.

General Discussion (a) Mayor's Choice Mayor Garren did not have any matters to bring before Council. (b) Council Members' Choice (i) Council Member Barrentine: I. She said I want to thank Fire, Police and the Hazmat Team for responding to a spill in the alleyway between Pearl and Washington in the 4200 block and then to thank Public Works for going out there and scraping that. While it wasn't identified as hazardous. I did, before I left on my vacation, take a trip down that alley and it was extremely bad. So, I appreciate that Public Works went out there and scraped so they could get rid of that smell. 2 . She said I did have some questions about what you arc facing for your business at Hawthorne Botanical. If I could ask, what is necessary for you to come into compliance ... what arc you looking to accomplish in the next six months? Ms. Friend said I can take a course that would take me four to six months to complete this and it is a State accredited school. Ms. Barrentine said okay. What is it about the requirement that you arc not matching up with? Ms. Friend said the classes that I have taken were not taught by State accredited teachers. Ms . Barrentine said for massage therapy, but you have some kind of registration or license or certification for reflexology then? Ms. Friend said no, but I have been taking classes for eleven years. Council Member Moore said is there a license that the instructors have that recognizes reflexology? Ms. Friend said they are certified by the schools that they teach for ... one owns her own school. The other one is a school out of California. Ms. Barrentine said okay, so it is not the money for the license, you would actually have to now go out and get trained as a massage therapist in order to get licensed in Englewood to do reflexology? Ms. Friend said right. yes. Ms. Barrentine said for what you have been doing for this entire time? Have you done that for the entire time in that business? Ms . Friend said the reflexology? Yes . Counci l Member Bradshaw said she was previously at Broadway Hair Company. Ms. Friend said yes. which is across from Flood Middle School. Counc il Member Woodward said is thi s full time. the reflexology, is that a full time profession right now? Ms. Friend sa id yes si r. He said and your business premises, is that something that you own or that you rent? Ms. Friend said I rent. Mr. Woodward said okay . Ms . Barrentine said I have a concern that if they arc very separate professions, the11 were you not able to make what you believed was a good enough case that this was not massage therapy? Ms. Friend said I just felt it would be easier to compl y with City Codc ... if I am given the six months . But. Mr . Erickson said. the City Code has a very broad dcfinnion of a massage therapist . Anybody who uses their hands to manipulate musc les on a person is considered a massage therapist. even though the training for a massage theraplSl and for a reflexologist and body work.er are completely different. It is possible that she fits under the maiSlge therapy dcliniuon and that ,is why she is seek.ing the license now . so~ 1 no question. ' • • -- Englewood City Council September 6, 2005 Page8 0 . Ms. Barrentine said well then is it possible that we could amend the definition of massage therapy enough to include reflexology , so that she wouldn't have to become a massage therapist in order to become a rcflexologist'I Mr. Erickson said the problem is that the reflexology teachers that she studied under arc not State accredited for massage therapy , because, again, they arc two separate types of body work. So, even if the reflexology that she docs fits in the definition , she would still have to find accredited teachers that arc State acc1edited . The State docs not accredit reflexology tcachcrs ... thc State accredits massage therapists . Ms. Barrentine said so accredited reflexology teachers do not exist? Mr. Erickson said exactly ... State accredited. They arc accredited from the schools that they teach for and the type of reflexology that they do, but they arc not recognized by the State as massage therapist teachers. Mr. Woodward said so you arc coming to us to be in compliance, not because there was a complaint filed or somebody has come to you and said you were not licensed or anything like that? Mr. Erickson said no ... actually, she had an incident with a customer who was not happy with her. The customer contacted, I believe, it was licensing, a detective came out and talked to Ms. Friend and told her she was not in compliance. Mr. Woodward said okay. Mr. Erickson said so then she started the process to become licensed . Mr . Woodward said okay and approximately, during a week or a month, how many clients do you have? Ms. Friend said I generally sec between 15 and 25 people a week. Mr. Woodward said okay . Ms . Barrentine said may I ask what the nature of the complaint was? Ms. Friend said she told me I had made her sick and she waited four months before she came in . Ms. Bradshaw said that's confidentiality, is it? Ms. Friend said well it may be. Mr. Erickson no, as long as the name is not disclosed. Beth Minnick said I own Hawthorne Botanical Company and Shirley has been renting space from me. The woman in question had called me ... after several times on the phone .. .I finally reached this woman on the phone and to be real honest. I didn't know what she was upset about, because at o.-,z point in the conversation it was pan of my staff and it sort of kind of filtered through . Ms . Barrentine said how many complaints have you had regarding her business? Ms. Minnick said one. just the one, and Shirley has been with me for three years now and I've never had a complaint ... only wonderful kudos. Mr. Woodward said but you have worked six and a half years in Englewood? Mr. Erickson said yes. that is right. If I may interrupl with I personal note, my wife has seen Shirley for two years and m} wife s uffers from dail y migraines. She has been in the hospital a number of times because of them. Since she has tarted with Shirley. and my wife has seen many massage thcrapiSts. but since she has seen Shirley, she is the only person that has helped my wife with her migraines . Mr . Woodward said so reflexology is mainly working with pain management, is that correct? Ms . Friend said it is good for man y things ... relaxation 1s another important piece of reflexology. Council Member Wo losyn said I would just like some mformauon from staff on what other municipalities, or the State m general. does with reflexology. Obviously. there arc reOcx o logists throughout the State. That would help me. Maybe that could be a Council request. City Manager Scar said Frank Gryglewic:r. i here. M . Barre ntine sa id I agree . I wo uld like me additional information. but I also would not like to see us try to push people ... put uarc pegs mto round hole . If you really arc noc I massage therapist, then we .-i to try to sec how we could work with that. without gening you licensed man 1dd111onal profession. that you have no illleleSI and then going ba ·k nd d mg reflexo logy.

Bradshaw said I also think it was a broad brush that we painted when we had the inundation of all the massage parlors in Englewood in the 1980's and they were doing other things than m ss agc . So, we painted this broad brush of Jegi.~lation and I think it is time to revisit that and look at it again. Ms. Barrentine said nobody could have known, at that time, how popular massage therapy and a lot of al1emativc medicine , acupuncture and things, would become. And they arc, as I understand. Thanks for the infonnation. Mr . Woodward said do you have an order currently to stop doing what you arc doing? Mr . Erickson said yes. Ms . Bradshaw said so you cannot work? Mr . Erickson said that is correct. If she works. she is in violation of City Code. Ms . Bradshaw said I think that is unconscionable, you guys. l think we need to do something about that. Mr . Woodward said I would propose that until we have some feedback from the Council Request that we allow her to continue working at her profession. Ms. Barrentine said I think that would be a good compromise. Mayor Garrett said I think our City Attorney would like to comment. Assistant City Attorney Reid said the problem is that in our ordinances, we don't have any provisions for waiving the ordinance. We don 't have any provisions for temporary licensing of any sort and any proposal, such as you have suggested, would have to be addressed in Council with an ordinance to make a special exception for this person to excuse them from the requirements of the ordinance, which everyone else in the world is required to comply with . So, it would be a special legislation for this particular person, which would have to go by ordinance. I would like to note, as part of this, that this has been going on for awhile ... Ms . Friend first came to us seven years ago ... she has had seven years so far to do this .. .I'm not sure that two more months is going to make that much difference about your concerns. And I understand your concerns, but it is going to have to be addressed and your short term Council ReqllCSI may be able to be addressed as part of that. Director Gryglewicz said I did provide Council with a chronology and background information. I think Ms . Friend fust applied seven years ago and knew she couldn 't comply at that time. We didn't even know she existed out there until the complaint came up . Mr . Erickson said may I address that? Ms . Friend did not apply seven years ago. She got information about doing business in Englewood, did not feel that she fit the defirtition of a massage therapist. because she did noc do massage therapy work. she did not go to massage therapy school and none of her instructors were massage therapists. Like you sai d. it was a square peg in a round hole situation, we believe, and until the detective visited her, she did noc believe that she was doin g massage therapy work . Ms . Barrentine said I have to admit that. we have had another case, at least since I've been here. that was addressing this and was not wanting to be included . If there is a defirtition concern and she doesn't fit, as a reflexologist, into what we are doing , then she wouldn't need to be in compliance . So, rm not quite sure that we don 't have some other options to ta.kc a look at it. Ma yor Garrell said I think we looked at the State standlard as something we can look to, to say look. this is how we kn ow so mebody has done what they need to do in order to do a certain type of profession. We have evolved .. .! don't know whether Statutes, or whatever. define what educational requirements are 1-ied to perform this service and the type of things yo u have to do. vcrsu acupuncture and some other things. and that is jl&Sl something I think we have to exp lore . Ms . Barrentme said no~ and I totally agree afier having set on the State Licensing. I tocally ap-ee with you. but since what we are questioning is whether she even falls within the defirtition or noc and somebody who bas been domg business in the City for as long as she has ... I'm noc so sure that we need all that process in order to allow her to co ntmue 10 do busine ss. while we decide whether she even falls witlun the definauon . As istam Ctty Attorney Reid said the li censing officer has made the determanallOll lhal she falls witbtn Ille definaooe and as Bev sa1d ear he r. 11 i II pretty broad definition But tba1 gctS back to, I am SUR, that we will be able IO ll''e ~ the information as a re uh of the short term reqUCSl. ' ... .. • • Englewood City Council September 6, 2005 Page 10 ·• • 0 . Ms . Bradshaw said so what you are saying is that, legally, we cannot allow her to work. Ms . Reid said you cannot waive the requirements of the licensing ordinance without an ordinance. Ms. Bradshaw said well two months is a lot better than six months as far as somebody's employment. but. .. because I was ready to move to suspend the requirements .. .! can move it, but it won't do any good? Ms. Reid said I would not recommend it, as your legal counsel , because it is not the way you make exceptions to the ordinances. In order to change an ordinance you have to do it by legislation. Ms. Barrentine said I am not talking about changing the ordinance I am talking about deciding whether somebody fits within an ordinance that we've already got, which is in question. While I understand that the licensing officer made a determination at that time, it obviously wasn't something that they had gone out and determined within all that perio<1 either. So, it is up to us to come up with those definitions as to whether somebody falls within that as well and what we meant by the ordinance. Mayor Garrett said let me ask a question. If the licensing officer makes a decision, what is the next appeal right of a person who has been denied a license? Ms. Reid said I am not up on that right now ... Mr. Gryglewicz do you know that? She said I can look it up . It will take me about five minutes. Mr. Gryglewicz said my understanding of reflexology is it fell within the definition of the massage therapist and she did not ha,e the required 500 hours and the certificate. She was denied the license and we use that to protect the public. So we are fairly strict about it, because there has been a history of abuses of people doing massage . They, at times, were doing other things, so we are fairly strict on it. I think it has served the City well . We haven't had a lot of problems here, because we are very strict. Ms . Barrentine said well Frank, in all fairness and it has been mentioned several times in beating around the bush, that the ordinance wasn't originally put in to make sure that we had the absolute highest quality massage therapists available in the City. lt was to make sure that we didn't have people sleeping with their clients for money. So I think that that is part of what we were ... Mr. Gryglewicz said actually we wanted to make sure that they had some form of qualification and the qualifications we have are not super rigid . I mean they require a certificate and 500 hours of classroom instruction, and we have insurance requirements and some of the other issues that. I think have as I said, served the City well. Ms. Barrentine said we have different insurance requirements for massage therapists? Mr. Gryglewicz said yes, we ha ve insurance requirements for massage therapists. Ms . Barrentine said different than wbal we have for business owners? Mr . Gryglewicz said we don't have any in particular for business owners. Mr Erickson said if I may say. the insurance requirement is a general liability policy of at least SI ,000,000.00. Ms . Reid said if I may ... 5-l -9D -Provides for an Appeal : "Any license holder agrievcd by a final decision of a Licensing Officer shall have the right 10 appeal 10 an independc111 hearing officcr appoi'*lll by the City. A wrinen appeal must be fi led with the City Manager wi thin ten (10) days of the final decision by the Licensing Offtcer.r She id I don·, know when your final decision was Frank.

Barrentine said I don·1 want to s kin the law and I know that she doesn't either.

Ms . Bradshaw said it took us 18 months to put the current massage issue ... that whole title, in place. It took 18 months when we did it the first time and that was a broad brush . I think it needs to be changed . I think it needs judicious study . Mr . Moore said can we do an ordinance that grants us some discretionary authority on a temporary basis, so that it is not this one case? I mean, if we want to look at three or four of these, as nccdcd, we would have the option to do it. Ms . Barrentine said so we could do something, as these come ,up, and I know certainly when I sat on the Nursing Board there were a lot of people who felt that they wcrcn 't involved in that licensing, so I understand what you arc talking about with this , so we could give them some period of time until that decision is made . lsn 't tbcrc any vehicle that we could use for that? Ms. Reid said not at this time . Council Member Tomasso said what happens is, if you apply for a license and you arc denied the license, there is no appeal process? Ms . Reid said I would have to do some research, but my gut reaction would be that !his appeal would be for someone who is denied a final decision by thc Licensing Official and his final decision was that she didn't have a license and she didn't qualify to get a license ... that she didn't have thc education or the olhcr requiremclllS to get a license . So I would say that that applies to her as part of the appeal process ... that that would apply to her, but I have not done the research on it. And this has not come up before . Mr . Moore said if I may add , thc problem here is not that there is an appeal. The law is doing exactly what it was intended to do . I am hard prCJlsed to believe that you can read this definition and ever conclude that this is permissible . Thi s was a broad stroke and it did its job. So setting the appeals process here isn't going to help us . We, the Council. wrote it to prevent this. Ms . Barrentine said but in all fairness it fits under there . I just had my nails done and what they did, when they put lotion on my hands. they rubbed my arms and stuff. and that fits under !hat definition as well . So, 1 lhink , depending on !he time and circumstances when people go in there, they can interpret it how they want . Mr. Moore said fingernails arc not soft tissue. I don 't think . Ms . Barrentine said no. but my hands, they arcn't real soft beca use I have worked out and when I had a pedicure. they still massaged part of my legs and my feet. When they did all that stuff and I read that definition ... it fits within !here and they did a really good job. Mr . Erickson said there is a pan of the ordinance that states !here arc some exceptions and I believe a ~SI is included in that . so there were certain professions that the Council understood did massage as part of their se rvice ... hairdr~•scrs, cos metologists. and trainers for professional teams. So lhcrc were some cxceptlOIIS made . Mr . Eri ckson sa 1nicall y. if you read the law, it say s you arc not allowed to perform a nmuae.

Ms. Bradshaw said I was on the Council when we passed that in the 1980's ... the ordinance against massage parlors, because we were being inundated with them. We were being inundated with book stores . We would have hearings with three or four hundred people coming down telling us what a good masseuse these different people were . I lc11ow that I did not even think of reflexology. That wasn 't part of it. Mayor Garrett said clearly the definition includes it, which means to me, from a legislative penpective, that we have to deal with that issue and we should look at it in a very thoughtful way, but as quickly as possible. I am just reluctant to sort of create blanket exceptions . Ms. Barrentine said I do want to say, I think that there ue times when the City needs to step in ... not to make a decision on this, because I don't feel that I am making a decision. I think that I am just voting to allow somebody to continue doing something that they have done for all this period of time ... that the City's change include this business in there, the license and definition of what you do, to at least allow you to be able to function and cam a living until we do this and I hope wc do it in a timely manner . But I am not making a decision on it, I am just wanting you to be able to continue doing business until we do decide. Mayor Garrett asked if there were any other comments . Council Member Tomasso said I have been lobbied by several other businesses to support Shirley and I feel that having her train for an occupation that she is not involved in, and to get a license in that occupation, is a questionable standud. And I feel that we have someone thai has been in business in the City for seven years and the City has just discovered her doing business in the City , I think it is a problem that the City has created by not discovering who is doing business in the City ... what is going on in the City . It takes seven years to find a business that is located on Broadway. I think there is a problem there ... that part of the responsibility is the City's ... as the City has not discovered what is going on. Mr. Moore said if I may ask, does that mean you uc going to v(J(e yes? Mr. Tomasso said yes. I am going to VO(e yes . Mr. Moore said if I may interject, what was the oath I took when I cntaed office ... tom the laws of the City? I don 't have a choice on interpretation in this matter and if we, as Council, in the ~ , VOie yes, we are not following the law making process.

There was a fire this weekend at a house near Floyd and Race. l would like to see if I could find out about response time and then actually follow up on a point that I think Bev raised recently. Which, in light of that response, I would like just a little information about the adequacy of fire coverage in that portion of the City. I presume we have studies that support that we don't need a station over there, but I would like to see some of that information, particularly in light of the Denver Seminary Development and the addition of all those bodies. (iii) Council Member Bradshaw said I want to thank Dave Henderson. We went out and looked at the Wolf Camera, because we arc working on the trail. Dave Henderson and Larry Nimmo met me out there to try to figure out how we can construct the bike trail to get it under Broadway, so there is a safe crossing there instead of having people come up to street level. Those guys were extremely responsive and we arc still following up on the big meeting that we had about the properties that are causing a problem with the South Suburban Park Foundation, so we are still pursuing those. But. while we were doing that. ihcrc were some weeds planted ... not weeds, they were volunteer trees, elm trees , that wr.re coming up through the fence and they were pushing people off the sidewalk and out on to Broadway. Dave said he would get those trimmed and I went by that afternoon and they were gone. So the prompt response on the part of Dave Henderson and Public Worlcs on trimming those volunteering trees was incredible. So. the City can work fa , . So just tell those guys thanks. (iv) Council Member Tomasso said I would like to thank the City for putting on a wonderful FunFcst. It was a wonderful day and we had the opportunity to watch the race the KEB put on. It was a really fun event. It was a really nice day. Thank you. (v) Council Member Woodward: I . He said I want to second what Bev was talking about with Pubiic Works. My experience with them is their response time is immediate and they usually get things done in a very satisfactory manner. I really appreciate it and I think ci u zcns appreciate it also. 2. He said the other thing that I would just like to mention was FunFcst was fun up until about 3 o'clock when the rain tarted comi ng and ihc people started leaving. Thank you.

We take great pride in continuing this school and community tradition. We are Englewood's only traditional high schoo~ and we have been here since 1913 . This year's parade will begin at 2:00 pm on Friday, September 30th. The route of the parade has differed very little over the past thirty plus years. An attached map details the route of this year's homecoming parade. A letter to local businesses has been prepared by the students and the distribution process has begun . EHS officials met with Mr. Nicholas Johnson and Mr . Ladislav Vostry, both of the Department of Public Works for the City of Englewood, to discuss future routes and times of the homecoming parade. They voiced their concerns about blocking off a section of South Broadway, especially after 3 :00 pm . With respect to their concerns, we will do our best to be onto East Mansfield Avenue by 3 :00 pm this year, and look at starting the parade at an earlier time in the years to come. We would like to thank the City of Englewood for their continued support in upholding and supporting this school, community, and city tradition. Without your support and cooperation, we would not be able to continue this Pirate tradition.

The American Reflexology Certification .Qoard is independent testing agency for the field of reflexology. ARCB is a legally constituted, non-government entity incorporated under California law as a non-profit corporation and is IRS tax exempt. It has been set up precluding self- interest and ~rivate financial gain to serve the reflexology fi~ld and pubhc ~af~ty . ARCB's primary aim is to accomplish this t?I:ough certt~mg the competency of those reflexologists pract1cmg professionally who meet certain basic standards. A : second objective is to act as a national registration board for certified practitioners . what ARCT> isn't. The American Reflexology Certification Board is not a ffiliated with any school or educational program. It does not accredit schools or instructors . Nor does it endorse any specific curriculum, training program, or instructor. ARCB is also not a membership association. what is the histor.Y of ARCT>? As ea rly as 1986 in an article "Consider the Profession" in Reflexions, Jan/Feb/Mar issue, reflexologists began di.sc ussing the need for a certifying board within the p ro_fess ion. Then on January 20, 1989 Larry aemmons of Chic~go sent o~t an invitation to leaders in the field to join him m developmg some kind of accrediting board to test professio n al reflexologists . This began the work towards a certificatio n program. Under development for several years '."-RC B w~ formally founded in March 1991 with legal mco rp o rat.Ion . Nationally known educators were invited to partici pate in the study guide development as well as test • The first certification test was given in Los Angeles, California on January 12, 1992. ~ is ARCb governed'? The corporate by-laws and a seven-member board of directors who serve without compensation govern ARCB. The directors come from across the United States. All are practicing reflexologists on either a full or part-time basis . More extensive information on the current directors begins on the next page. In its organization and the implementation of its program ARCB follows the guidelines set by the National OrMoization for Competency Assurance (NOCA). ARCB is working towards NOCA approval. How arc Directors selected? Candidates for Director are nominated and elected to join the Board. Nominations include such considerations as background, skills, temperament and geographical location. Those reflexologists having their own school, method, charts, .-,having authored a technique book or video arc not eligible 9serve as a director do to the possibility of a conflict of interest. what is involved in being a Director? Being on the American Reflexology Certification Board is a serious commitment~ It involves a firm belief in the certification process as part of professionalism, the donation of a sizable amount of one's time, as well as financial support through uncompensated attendance at meeting.,, conference calls, and other acdvities . How long do Directors serve? A Director holds office for five yean and may stand for ~ reelection upon expiration of his/her term serving only one · additional consecutive term. A Director is free to resign at any time. &Jard Histor.!j The seven original directors included: Larry aemmons, Christine Issel, George Balut, Bill Runquist, Dr. Simon Wilder D .P.M., Jim Waters (a businessman who represented the public) and Lorraina Ward. Dr. Wilder resigned shortly after incorporation due to illness. Jim Waters resigned because of business pressures and Lorraina Ward to develop her own school. Tom Gardiner and Billie Scott replaced Wilder and Waters in the Fall of 1991. Patricia Peters R.N. replaced Ward in the Spring of 1992. Peters left the Board in Summer 1994 and Laura Laroche was selected to fill the vacancy she left. February 1995 brought the resignation of Billie Scott. Barbara Mosier replaced Billie. Larry aemmons left to enter the ministry. Robb Drury replaced him in 1996. Robb began a Master's Degree program and has since been replaced by Ko Tan (l 999). Bill Runquist retired from the Board and was replaced by Wendy Coad in 1998. Laura Laroche submitted her resignation in the Spring of 1999 to pursue publication of a book on credentialing in the somatic practice field and has been replaced by Alexandra Ferguson. Barbara Mosier resigned in the fall of 2000 and was replaced by Jean Lambert. Ferguson resigned in 2002 and Elizabeth Treanor replaced her to become the public member.

Geoqe, or Warren, Ohio, started in reflexology in 1977 in private practice after training with the International Institute of Reflexology. For the past fifteen years he has been teaching nationally and internationally. Through his teaching he has developed several instructional aids. GeoflC has sened as an officer with the Ohio Association of Reftexologists and as director of the International Council of Reftexologists. Due to his extensive lecturing schedule he restricts his reflexology practice to family and friends during the brief periods when he is home. Thomas Gardiner. Tom has three master's degrees and worked as an outpatient therapist in a chemical dependency program near Detroit, Michigan. Tom began studying reflexology in 1982 and has been working with it ever since. He used reflexology with clients at the hospital where he worked and now uses it when appropriate with his private counseling clients. He teaches reflexology in adult ~d community education programs and in the local commuruty {'1lcae. Tom has shared his work on reflexology and ~temical dependency at several conferences. Christine hsel. Christine, who holds a Master's Degree, began her career in reflexology in 1976 and has continued her training by SbJdying with the leaders in the field .

She has a part-time practice in s.:ramento, California. t • ·• • Jean Lambert. Jean is from Youngstown, Ohio. With a · Master's degree in Communication Psychology, Jean has professionally worked in health care and spirituality all qf her adult life. She became involved in reflexology in 1997 · because someone told her she had "healing hands" and she realized how complementary therapies could make a . difference in people's lives. At the present time, Jean has a very small practice while employed as a senior vice president for Sisters of Providence Health System. Wendy Coad. Wendy is originally from Saskatchewan, Canada. She came to New York City as an artist and bas a Master's Degree in Fine Arts.

She also creates and advocates regulatory alternatives and developes and presents training programs for companies . • " If" ... • • .~w is ARCf> forming communication link.s within the field and the larger communit:t,? To correct misinformation about reftexology published in popular magazines ARCB responds by writing letters to editors. It also has developed a website, answers queries from writers, students and the public regarding all aspects of reflexology as well as the certification program. It refers the public to its certificants. ARCB publishes Re.iexology Today, a semi-aMual newsletter, to keep certificants up-to-date on the latest information. ARCB is dedicated to bolstering all facets of the reflexology field including within the legislative arena. In 1991 ARCB worked with reftexologists in North Dakota to pass the first reflexology law in the nation. Today it continues to act as legislative consultant to reftexologists in many states in conjunction with legislative proposals in their areas. ARCB offers a "Legislative Packet" and 61 page booklet " Sample Law/Ordinance packet" on legislative options and other considerations before writing a state law or local ordinance. These arc available to certificants and non-certificants for a small fee . e ARCB's desire is to help where it can within the reflexology field as long as its status as an unbiased, independent ~ting agency is not compromised. No matter what other assistance is asked of ARCB, the improvement of the testing program is its first priority and will remain the focus of its on-going work. ·- The American Reflexology Certification Board's main purpose is to protect the public and promote the advancement of the field through the recognition of competent · reflexologists who practice on a professional basis and choose to be recognized as meeting basic national standards. The ARCB promotes Reflexology and its certificants through a national referral service. It supports certificants through publication of a bi-aMual newsletter and other business related materials . The ARCB works for the growth of the entire field by encouraging the ongoing development of Reflexology associations and related professional organizations .

Before screwing reflex tip into the threaded shaft of hand piece make sure threads are aligned. CAUTION: DO NOT CROSS THREAD brass threads on reflex tips in your attempt to put on a new tip. If threads are overly tight and won't screw in easily after several turns ... do not force threads with wrench. 2 or 3 threads will hold just fine. Let them wear themselves in slowly. 2. When tips are new the threads may be tight so DO NOT FORCE TIGHf THREADS BY USE OF TIP ITSELF. This could result in tip separating from the brass screw to which it is anchored. Use a 3/8" open end wrench to screw threads of reflex tip onto shaft of hand piece by positioning wrench on large hex brass nut. CAUTION: DO NOT OVER TIGHfEN NUT WHEN IT MEETS SHAFT. OVERTIGHTENING COULD RESULT IN SHEARING (BREAKING) OF THE TIIREADS FROM THE NUT. This would present the problem of removal of the sheared screw from the shaft (a job for a machinist). 3. lfthreaded screw turns into position without the need ofa wrench DO NOT GIVE FINAL TIGHTENING BY USING THE TIP ITSELF . USE A WRENCH TO SNUG THE NUT AGAINST THE SHAFT. Likewise, when removing reflex tip be sure to use wrench to loosen. Be sure to nun in correct direction so as not to further tighten screw and putting screw in danger of twisting off(shearing) of hex nut. 4 . In case reflex tip separates from screw due to improper installation or from heavy use it can be reglued with epoxy purchased at most drug stores. 5. In case wooden tip splinters due to dropping instrument on floor there is a spare reflex tip included in kit to replace broken one. Simply replace by using small amount of epoxy and push new reflex tip into place on screw after securing screw into shaft of hand piece. Do not discard valuable brass screw if tip breaks, but recycle same. 6 . New replacement tips with brass screws are available for $10 each. Replacement heads (wooden) are S 1.00 each.

It is a combination of ReftexoCure techniques which may include the use of experimental devices to create stimulation ( sedation or tonification) cl energy points on the feet, hands, ears or other specified points along the body zones/meridians . ReftexoCure may involve: steady or alternating finger or probe pressure , machine percussion, intra or ultra sound, coherent/noncoherent pholon (light) radiation, magnetism, piezo or microamp electrical current, heat, ice, and/or foot & hand joint rellexocure alignment technique . These types of stimulation can trigger the electrical, photobiok>gic, magnetic and chemical aspects of the body's self-healing pro- cesses provided that the body is in a state of cellular hydration, electrically conductive and nutritionally sufficient. AS a recipient ct ReflexoCure by who is a student/graduate of the MODERN INSTITUTE OF REFLEXOLOGY (state approved and regulated under HEALTH OCCUPATIONS, CIP 12.0405 Mas- sage), I hereby understand and accept (by my signature below) the following contraindication/aftereffect data: 1. I understand that the stimulation cl reflex/meridian points within my feet, hands, or ears is intended as a signal for the brain to discharge a "direct anent of repair and rega ieralion'. This concept postulatea that the negative DC charge travels through the perineural sheath of the motor nerves to the point cl dysfunction in order to help rectify the eleclrical potential ( creating a change of polarity from positive to negative) so that self-healing can begin. I also accept the clinical evidence cl radiant light energy will produce a SYSTEMIC EFFECT throughout the body which may include: synthesis and repair of DNA/RNA, increase of collagen and ATP production, stimulation of rwve growth and sprouting, neo-vascularizalion, alleviation of lymphatic COi igestion, activation of enzymatic reactions, reduction of scar tissue/adhesions and enhancement of the immune system (with no long range side41fects). 2. I further understand that my student/graduate practitioner does not perform alopathic medicine, but is committed to a Wholistic (holistic) approach to wellness. I agree not to construe anything said or diagrams rafaTed to by my student/ graduate practitioner as a diagnosis, treatment, or prescription for disease of any kind . 3. I further understand that the effects of stimulation to the rellex/meridian ... coud result in unanticipaled l9ldlons such as: dislodging of blood clots or spurs, br.eakage of bones, bruising of tissues, or expansion of foot aim. I hawl no reason to believe that I am likely to experience these reactions, but should they occur I wit not hold my student/ graduate practitioner responsible or liable. 4 . I further understand that there may be some physiological responses which are sometimes related to the self- healing process such as: nausea, dizziness, diarrhN, muscle sorenNS, or depression, all of which may occur naturally due to corrective adjustments within the corporeal body. 5 . I further understand that alleviation of pain is not synonymous with "'9CCMlrY"from any suspected dysfunctions ;ind I will therefore refrain from any excessive activity that might cause further injury to myself. 6. I have provided the name of my own physician on this form so that he/she can be contacted should I require any emergency surgery. In particular, I un derstand that if I have kidney stones or gall stones too large to pass out through the body without surgical intervent100 I wiH contact my physician immediately, or request that my student/graduate practitioner do so on my behalf. 7 . I further acknowledge that physical death could occur at any lime ll?8lt from my own antlcipetion or 8Xf* :talli N ,, and so might also happen during or following treatment. Hence I her9by give notice to al my family mernben that I hold my student/graduate practitioner entirely blameless in such an -i. 8 I also aff,rm that I am not aware of or have been diagnosed as having any condition that might create lw.th. ... ling respon ses by the application of stimulus to the reflex ~meridians of my feet. hands, or ears .

It has helped that MIR was approved by the Col orado Department of Higher Education under CIP 12 .0405 Massage ; but the IN STITUTE is working to attain a new Certified Instructional Program which will give ReflexoCure its own identity . The U.S . Department of Labor issued the CIP 51.99 99 as a transitional code to the International Institute of Advanced Reflexol - ogy in 1997 , but the US Department of Education will not issue the new CIP Code until 10 Reflexology Schools have gained State Occupational Approval. MIR has worked to help many ReflexoCurists overcome obstacles erected by agenc ies to prevent their practice . One alternative pathway to becoming an avocation al Refl exoCuris t is to pract ice as an Ordained Minister of Foot Re- ffexology . The Home Study Lay Ministry Package is available from the Institute as a stand alone course . However, MIR graduates who qualify spiritually can obtain an ord in at ion certi ficate from the Institute upon graduation at no extra cost.

Mlnwi, DN, DR Dodor d N,prap,/hy follJder & T tlllCher Modem Institute d Rellexology ·• • • INTRODUCTION My objectM as President of the Modem Institute of Reflexology is to p,epare you to be a leader in the reflexology profession. MIR's training in both ancient and modem techniques is the most progressive in the United States. The Colo- rado Department of Higher Education, Division of Private Occupational Schools has approved and regulates the FULL SPECTRUM REFLEXOLOGY Program. M.I.R. is listed by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) as a training provider. FULL.SPECTRUM REFLEXOLOGY gives you the freedom to chooH the archetypaUlnstinctive/lntuitlve reflex stimulus techniques which you deem to be the best suited for your personality and body-type. You have been given IH1on 11 11 an Introduction to our program. The remaining eleven lessons will delve into I) finger pressure, 2) hand-held percussion instruments 3) intra-sound tools 4) micro-current stimulation 5) foot exercises 6) ice/heat 7) cold laser 8) foot joint miaoalignment, and 9) essential oils as a means of reflex stimulation. Each lesson has an audio tape to guide and inspire your study . Five (5) video tapes will demonstrate the various techniques and tools along with anatomy of the lower extremities. You will discover that the FULL-SPECTRUM REFLEXOLOGY Method will accelerate health improvement 100% to 1000% over hand techniques alone . This efficiency means you can help more people in less time. I reformattad Dr. WIiiman'• course bmd on my INmlng experience so that you too can progress at your own rate as you study at home. Some of you will be able to digest the Home Study in as few as three months because of your health care background; while others may take six months or a year. I studied and practiced 9 months before attending a 2 day seminar condudad in August of 1967 by Eunice Ingham Stopfel, founder of the National Institute of Reflexology. The PROFESSIONAL LEVEL CERTIFICATE Is avallable to those who complete the Home Study. An additional 150 hours of practice Is required to attend the 12 hour class. Frequent practice II eaential If you wish to become a polished profN· lional. Therefore , you are required to administer ReflexoCure to 20 different individuals for a total of 100 hours as a p,erequisite for certification of completion of Home Study. Why? Because practice will improve your skiU. Book learning isn't enough to become proficient in the FULL-SPECTRUM REF~OLOGY Method . Keep recipient records on the MIR Student ReffexoCUl8 Doctmenfa. tion folms because you need them on medical and Insurance caaea to document your work . Otherwise your MIR Reflexologist Log Book will be adequate for non- insurance cases and will meet the requinlments of MIR. I look forward to receiving your open book questions.

I reconcile myself that the rewards will not always be material since some who seek me out will be broken with no money, but I will daily receive & accommodate myself to each inquirer without prejudice because I acknowledge the uniqueness of the individual. I will therefore seek to discover the interior beauty of each recipient that I have been called to discover and bring forth. My purpose prescribes that I seek to relax the emotionally anxious, revitalize the weak in body, restore the mentally confused, and rejuvenate the spiritually downcast in order that they might begin to choose the pathway that leads to life with a renewed vigor of body, clarity of mind, and perception of 6pirit. Likewise, I willingly accept the challenge to maintain my own health and truly live my profession, because example is the greate5t teacher. In the course of a reflexocure treatment I will ob6erve and listen with restraint ... in order to properly perceive and respond to the need of my recipient with words that might revive their confidence and renew their faith. When intuition and conscience indicate renewal, I can then take courage that the recipient might once again be motivated to take responsibility for himself. My professional philosophy continues to mature as I seek to treat others as I desire that they should aloo treat me. And above all , with the help of my Heavenly Father, I will embrace every opportunity to demonstrate love to my enemies by a prayerful offer of a ReflexoCure treatment.

Our study of the ancient Egyptian doctors starts 4,500 ~rs ago. They were among the first to study the human body scientifically. They became mas- ters at setting bones, caring for wounds and successfully treating many Illnesses. Egyptian artists preserved the history of surgery, anatomical observation and medical treatments through their meticulous record keeping. Ed and Ellen Cue of Los Angeles, whlle on tour of Egypt In 1979, discovered a pictograph on the wall of the tomb of Ankhmahar which is located in Saqqara. This is known as the tomb of the physician and has been dated by Egyptologists at 2330 B.C. This is the third oldest recorded history of hand and foot Reflexo- Cure to date and gives the modem day practitioner a consciousness of its roots and a sense of connection with one of the oldest health care professions in the wor1cl. points under their anns. In the artist's painted illustration (on left) of the original pidograph, we can see the physicians pressuring the Great toe (spleen/pancreas and liver meridians) and thumb (lung meridian) of their respective patients; while the patients them- selves are putting pressure on a gallbladder and heart meridian Pain was an indicator of a problem according to the hieroglyphic translation made by the Papyrus Institute in Cairo. The patient says to the physician: "Don't let it be painful.· The modem ReflexoCurist has some patients with the same re- quest; while others embrace the pain; knowing that the best results are due to a strong "current of injury". The reply of the physician shows consideration of the patient ; working within his pain tolerance level: "I do as you please.· A patient must be educated to the benefits of the pain created by pressure on a point. As we consider the early origins of ReflexoCure, I wish to present in this lesson some modem day considerations that must be adopted into the practice of this ancient healing art. The Egyptians used ReflexoCure to diagnose and treat their patients, but since we ReflexoCurists are not licensed as AMA allo- pathic medical physicians, we are not allowed by law to diagnose; so avoid this temptation . You might make an intuitive archetypal assessment and say that sensitivity indicates congestion of the interstitial space between the cella In the organ or body area related to the meridian or reflex zone under treatment. In the Egyptian illustration we observe one of the doctors stimulating the LiYer Well Point on top of the big toe . This finger pressure technique sends an electri- cal signal called a "current of injury" to the brain . The bnlil responds by dis- charging a "cu rrent of repair and regeneration• which helps clear the intlnitltal space of excessive water and blood proteins that may be congesting organs. I have 1,een using ReflexoCure a good deal longer than most Amerlcan6 experimenting with this oriental therapy. In my experience it can effectively Improve a person'6 well- 1,elng & often re- stores health in condltlon6 5uch as low back pain, o5- teo & rheumatoid arthriti5, and a whole ho6t of 5pl- nal problems tliat resiet conventional approachee.

It Is of Interest to me that the medical apec:lallst had • prac:tlcal trade as well as his therapy practice (stone carver/ReflexoCurist) in ancient Egypt. Many mod-' em ReflexoCurists combine their practice with anotheroca.ipatlon (auto mechanic/ ReflexoCurist). This way the practitioner is not under financial pressure to wring .. his total support from the sick, who so often have already spent their fortune seeking a cure elsewhere. However, when your practice begins to thrive, you .. could then consider the practicality of going into a full-time RetlexoCure practice. /, THIS IS THE TRUE JOY IN LIFE, THE BEING USED FOR A PURPOSE RECOGNIZED BY YOURSELF AS A MIGHTY ON E; Dr.~ Amoe, 111.D.

Scientific experiments, conduded with isolated human cells died in 1933 at taken from the body of a person, have indicated that these individual cells exhibit Kiah-sien, China. primary perception due to their measurable response to spontaneous reaction of the host. These single cells function in groups that form tissues: 1) connective, 2) epithelial , 3) muscle, and 4) nerve. Cells vary in life span. Many cells have a short life span and divide to replenish themselves about every 10 to 30 hours . Cells in the lining of the stomach die after a day and a half, white blood cells after 13 days, and red blood cells after 100 days . Certain muscle cells reproduce themselves only once every few years . Brain cells have been shown to regenerate themselves. Some have lived 256 years and more in this modem age (Health & Long Life, by B. Jensen , p. 72). A SECOND BRAIN: The Enteric Nervous Synm. Once dismissed as a simple collection of relay nerve ganglia within the stomach and intestines, the enteric nervous system is now recognized as a complex, integrative brain in its own right. This complex web of microcircuitry is driven by more neurotransmlt· ters and neuromodulators than can be found anywhere else in the peripheral nervous system . These allow the ENS to perform many of its tasks in the ab- Page14•Leuon1 I ' D •· • ·• • . ' . sence of central nervous system (CNS) control. (Michael D. Gershon, Columbia U. of Physicians and Surgeons, Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, New Yorlc.) The ENS Is remarkably braln .. lke, both structurally and functlonllly. Its neuronal elements are not supported by collagen and Schwann cells, like those in the rest of the peripheral nervous system, but the glla that resemble the astro- cytes of the CNS. Scientists are now researching how neurons of the gut medi- ate behavior (Ibid, Gershon). Certainly the 80 called "gut feeling" can give spe- cific direction to the main brain (via the vagus nerve connection) by what is other- wise called "Intuition". MIR Research & Development CUnlc has confirmed the dynamic effect of percussion stimulation to the "belly reflex area" as the means for attaining "miraculous cures" ... sometimes In just one treatment. Uwr cells begin mitosis (cell division) If part of the llwr II remowd and continue until the organ has regained Its full size. The spleen, In contrast to the liver, Is a true example of regeneration. If a surgeon leaves a few cells In place following removal of the spleen, ltwlll actually regenerate Itself through a process known as redlffarentlatlon. In future lessons we will study In detail how reflex stimulation triggers the "cummt of repair and regenerat1on• which helps bring healing to the body at the cellular level. The main substance of our body is water ... 70 to 85 percent water. Two thirds Is Inside the cells and is called Intracellular fluid or ICF . Example: cytoplasm.

In the upper left comer you can study both a lateral and medial view of the bone structure. You will be expected to name au the bones of the feet and understand pronation, supination, and bunion for the 500 Hour Professional Cer- tificate As you consider the complex structure of our feet and how important they are for balance and mobility, It is hard to understand why they receive so little attention. When you break Into a run, your IOW9r extremllles .,. subjectN to five or six times your total body weight -a force in some cases equal to I ton. The remarkable strength of the foot is developed around 28 fragile foot bones by tough, rope-like tendons and ligaments. The resilience and spring of the foot are enhanced by the arches, which run both crosswise and lengthwise of your foot. Everybody begins 1119 with flat fNt. The ligaments and muscles in the foot strengthen the bones in the middle of the foot as a child begins to walk. The formation of the arch is usually complete by the age of 16 but some people remain flatfooted all their lives. However, they are able to function perfactly well as has been observed in the case of some Olympic athletes . The best protedlon against foot defonnity, according to Dr. Sinon Wilder, is a lifetime habit of walk- ing barefooted and wearing property fitted shoes. M a Mnsory organ, the foot receives lnfonnallon through nerw l9C8ptors in the skin, muscles, tendons, and bones. It must process pressure and stretch as bits of information necessary for stride or locomotion, just as the eye has to process light as bits of information necessary for vision. When driving, the sight of a traffic light turning red evokes an immediate response . The foot reaches for the brake pedal. This is an integration of the eye seeing the stop light and the foot making a proper response. A movement is made possible by organized packets of information from the sensory organs which was learned through expe- rience , training, and observation. Leaming to walk Is a formidable tuk for a baby that muat be .....,.. slowly over many months . The first steps are an exercise In hard knocks. From wiggling on his stomach, the infant progresses to crawling on hands and knees (this is a necessary stage which patterns the brain for learning). Then he care- fully pulls himself upright, but at the slightest misstep, he topples. Only after a period of trial and error does he leam to make the right moves . Though he does not realize it, the tottering baby is learning an elaborate series of muscle contractions aimed at keeping his center of gravity balanced CNer the leg that is supporting his weight. The contractions are orchestrated by a center in the brain called the cerebellum (See page 13 of your Anatomical Charts). The arms , too , play a key role in keeping the body upright and in balance - especially during running or fast walking. The sensory signals which are aealed as the heel strikes the ground produce action in muscle groups . We can this the ' .• • • striae mechanism (See Hiss chart on page twelve).

I first met Dr. Brinker- hoff when I took my wife in for a health assessment and treatment. His knowl- edge of anatomy was impressive, his ability to assess disease unusually accu- rate, and his mode of treatment awesome. I was so impressed with his air- powered Percus-0-Matic machine that I bought one (now replaced by Dr. RHey's Ultra Massager aka DRUMmet'). When Dr. Brinkerhoff asked me to serve on the MIR Advisory Board I took the normal precautions of checking on his competency as a Doctor of Reflexology. I arranged for an International Institute ReflexoCurist, who was a personal friend of mine, to secretly visit him as a patient Following her visit my friend reported back to me as arranged. She was extremely impressed with both his knowledge of reflexology and his manual as well as instrumental techniques. • Low Level Laser '7iomodulatlon com'7ined with Manuel Joint Alignment i6 a powerful com'7ination that le taught '7y M.I.R. which I endorse as a podiatrist. I am thrilled that IIIR la now tNchlng the Hlu tac:hnlque of foot joint micro- alignment ReflexoCure technique since I too practice this method . Very few in i: my profession understand how to correct foot aberrations outside of surgery and orthosis . I contributed some aulatance to Dr. Brinkerhoff In his effort to develop a procedure of foot joint reflex alignment technique on patients while they are re- clined in a LAFUMA treatment chair. I must report that he is now successfully teaching MIR's students this new foot joint reflex alignment technique via video #3 and Tutoring. Such an accomplishment has made this style of joint reflex work on a reclined patient uniquely his own . ReflexoCurtsta need to understand that not all sensitive .,.... are neces- sarily reflex points that need stimulation. Pain could be something other than a reflex indicator of distant dysfunction. It could be a local problem such as Morton's neuroma , plantar fasciitis , a t or, a plantar wart, osteochondritls, a rnalposi- tioned joint , a cyst , arthritis , a com or callus caused by a joint that is misaligned, however so slightly . All these things you will leam as you progress through MIR's FULL-SPECTRUM REFLEXOLOGY Program . I am pleased with the continual updating of the coune with new data such as identification of a reflex area which corresponds with scientific research on the "Second Brain". The multitude of benefits and quick recovery experienced by recipients of PERCUSSION TREATMENT at M.I .R. Research & Development Clinic in Denver appears to be asaociated with activation of the "Second Brain• and its effect on behavior of associated organs. Relearchers think this •gur network of brain cells may be the source for ooconscioua decillona which the primary brain later claims as conscious decisions of Its own .

While on tour in the Transcontinental Classroom in October 2000 Dr. Brinkerhoff stopped in Bethel. CT to investigate some information he had received from a student about a percusaor machine. When Zachary first laid eyes on the above PERCUSSIVE MASSAGER he realized this machine was a deacendant of the original percussor used by Dr. Riley pictured in a historical photo taken in 1924 . After only 3 days of testing, the PERCUSSOR showed the same effect within the anatomy of the ·Second Brain• as the old POM 'jackhammer'. The Riley mactme is now the heart of M.I.R.'s training program because it enables a student to get professional results on his first treatment without excessive noise. The response of the "Second Brain• to reflex stimulus by the new and improved OR. RILEY'S MASSAGER was the key indicator of its efficacy. This is the tool Zachary had been looking for since he 5'W it pictured in Dr . Riley's book Zone Reflex back in 1968.

Idaho, by a genUeman with his wife ln-ann. The husband looked up at me sitting In my mobile clinic studying a book and asked If I could bring healing to his wife. When I inquil'8d about her problem he replied : "The physicians can, diagnose her problem. I've spent all of my money In search of a cure, but with no success. Can you help mywtter I could 11• his concern and her desperation, so I invited them to step up into the mobile clinic for an appraisal. It didn't take long to find an extreme sensf. tlvlty on the reflex to the pituitary-hypo- thalamus, located In the center of each big toe. AB I continued to work this en- ergy point the lady IUddenly began to per- spire profusely . I remember seeing sweat drip off cl her nose and chin, saturat- ing her blouse. After forty-five minutes of handwoftt I told them, , think thafs enough for today ... I don, want to overdo the treatment.· This loving husband knew IOfflllhlng good had happened and opened his wallet to pay , but I told him to wall "Let's wait.

Two days laW they l'llurned, both smlHng, Ind his WW. was waHclng und er her own power. She stepped up into the truck without assistance to receive her second ReflexoCure treatment AB they laughed and visited with me that day I wondered at the change in her countenance .

' X HEAL TH HINT: H20 WHY RECIPIENT MAY NOT RESPOND TO REFLEXOLOGY Water In combination with sodium and other rnttalllc minerals are the con- ductors of the electrical system In your body. When the cells of the body lose their conductivity through dehydration and mineral loss, negative DC electrical charges created through MIR's ReflexoCure will not be adequately conducted through the perlneural sheath. Just like the electrical wires which carry the cur- rent to the light bulb, so the perlneural sheath which surrounds the motor and sensory nerves (whose cells are fully hydrated with saline water) condud these currents to and from the brain to every cell and corresponding body part Just 5% dehydration In the brain will came a person to begin to hallucl• nate. Remember, only pure water, sea salt, herbal teas, fresh vegetables and fruits will properly hydrate your cells. Any fluid containing caffeine will ad as a diuretic upon the kidneys: coffee, tea, some juices like watennelon, and certain soda pop (In Hunza they use rock salt in their tea to ad against the cafflne ). Dr. Cartar Included Brinkerhoff'• vital Information on Wmr lht Conductor in her '94 edition of BODY REFLEXOLOGY, Healing At Your Finqe,tiDs. Dr. Cartar hu long trnphallad the need to consume large amounts of purified water following ReflexoCure in order to flush out loosened debris ( crys- tals, mucus, etc.). She says that failure to do so can result in impedance of the lymphatic system . Result: muscle, headache, and fatigue, etc. Dally consumption of pure wmr and wise UN of ... ult (hallla) Is the first information you should look for on the recipients questionnaire. Although water drinking is important, a person who has attained perfect health through a mucu- sless diet will not need large amounts of water. Most of his water will come from fruits high in water content. The body in a perfect state of health is not burdened with the need to deal with excessive mucus in a decayed state of fermentation and toxins, hence, no need for high volumes of water to flush the system . (CAUTION : (1) Weak kidneys could be a contraindications for high water consumption, (2) the combination of excessive water drinking and low salt diet can result in systemic weakness and even physical death .) 1-""" I l I . l \ ~ The averaee mixed 5tarch eater could not 5tand 6uch a mucu5 formlne diet with- out 5alt 6ince it 15 a very eood mucu5 di660lver.

A patient came to Dr. Brinkerhoff for Rtfltxocure treatment who drank only four ounces of water each day. He had absolutely no response on the first treatment. During the ensuing week he had increased his consumption to three glasses of water a day and re- ported many noticeable benefits following his second RetlexoCure treatment. Water is critical for people whose system has become dysfunctional from mucus congestion and dehydration . Zachery I<.

How did you become a doctor of reflexology? What IN the dlff9Nnt levels of attainment In the pro- fession? ANSWER: The word "certified" Is beginning to mean men In the profession at this time: as schools go beyond issue of credentials that previously ranged from the Digits' 12 hours of classroom; to Dr. Wlttman's one day 12 hour seminar; to some two day seminars. Some massage schools now have up to forty classroom hours of reflexology train- ing; Laura Norman has three levels of training that runs around eighty hours; while another school in the state of Ohio has a six hundred hour program. The Victorian School of Reflexology and Herbal Studies (located in Australia) is planning to develop a 1200 hour program . Here in the USA, in the year 2005, two new certification boards for reflexology have been established . This is an Zachary Btlnkethoff & Larry Clemmens visit at Denver '93 National Carfetence about his accepting a Doctor of Reflex- ology Diploma from MIRCCB . important step towards the creation of reflexology as a vi-~----~ able profession . The good news Is that both the Reflexology Certification Board (RCB) in Oxford, MA and the Reflexology and Acupressure Certification Board in Las Vegas, NV accept the Modem Institute of Reflexology certificates of comple- tion for national certification at either a Prac:tltioner level of 250 hours or a Master Reflexologist level of 500 hours. MIR Director of Studies, Zachary Brinkerhoff, has been granted certified reflexology instructor status which carries the respon- sibility of proctor in the testing process for applicants of national certification. Since both certification boards have acknowledged and accepted MIR's doctor level diploma, the Institute will continue to offer the advanced 10,000 hour expe,- riential Doctor of Reflexology Certificate which is issued through the MIR Cre- dential Confirmation . This prestigious diploma may be awarded on experience alone ; which is in harmony with a 10 ,000 hour experiential qualification for an instructor in occupational schools in the state of Colorado. Whatever the level of academic requirements lauded by any reflexology school in the world ; the M.I.R. experiential programs will remain in place ... supported by both the RCB and RACB now and in the foreseeable future . The INSTITUTE is grounded on the philosophy of INTUITIVE-EXPERIENTIALISM: Nothing is learned except through interpretation of experience through intuition . The wondly wile and the intellectual "book wonn" will find a new dimension in the learning experi- ence here at M.I.R. This is the school for the average citizen to learn a trade with OPEN BOOK QUESTIONS on all written tests ; the emphasis being placed on development of intuition through practical experience . So you can feel right at home here with the INSTITUTE . Here you will find a bright Mure of profeaional advancement with emphasis on experience , so you can 'earn' as you continue to 'learn '.

For 15 years she was on the faculty of the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine as Associate Professor and Vice Chairman of the Department of Or- thopedic Surgery. She was also chief of Orthopedic Surgery at San Francisco General Hospital and is recognized worldwide as an AIDS expert. M.I.R. has chose to feature Dr. Day in this first lesson due to her conversion to God's remedies rather than modem medical busi- ness.

It is this excessive decayed mucus that provides a ban- quet for all kinds of microbial vermin which are simply acting as scavengers. Likewise with Dr. Thomas A. Edison's prophecy con- cerning the doctor of the Mure: Dr. Day has become that true doctor of which he prophesied . Therefore we embrace her as a true colleague ... one who is seeking to uplift humanity from the morass of Ignorance regard- ing the true pathway to health, spiritual life and the re- sultant manifestation of joy ... JOY!!! As a physician who developed cancer herself, Dr. Day was well aware that phy- sicians are more afraid of cancer than patients are , because doctors know that chemotherapy and radiation actually cause cancer. In her video, CANCER DOESN'T SCARE ME ANYMORE, she will help people with cancer or other chronic diseases to understand why you don't need to fear such an event, but rather embrace It as a challenge. She explains all the confus- ing medical jargon that spews from the doctors mouth in order that you won't feel intimidated by them . By following the orderly system of evaluation that she pre- sents , you can then make calm , intelligent decisions about the best treatment methods for your particular disease or situation. The extremity of Lonaine's situation was certainly an opportunity for God to get a hold of her life. "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good , to those that love God and to those that are the called into his purpose." And tum she did ... from Agnostic to a daughter of the Sovereign Creator who was pleased to reveal His Beloved Son in her. "The popularly accepted concept? Seeing -is Believing! '111 believe It when I see it!' But when It comes to getting well, that's backwards. Leaming to trust God and believe His healing promises when the outlook appears hopeless re- quires faith that only God can give . When we finally believe -then we will see!" said Dr. Day. • A return to the Garden of Eden Diet is a way of eating that is a must if you want to get well and stay healthy!" she declares on one of her videos . The vegan (vegetarian) diet she recommends excludes meat , chicken , fish, milk products , eggs , refined grains , sugar and all other processed foods . That leaves fruits , vegetables, whole grains and legumes ... certainly a step in the right direction. "Adam and Eve ate everything raw and so should we. I average about 90/10 in my eating," she said . "I prefer to sprout my grains and seeds." (That way a dried grain would qualify as fresh and raw and certainly healthier.) We will discuss and establish Dr. Days Commandments for Health , Peace and Recovery in the next 11 lessons .

(The addition of the new Rer,ex- 0-Massager replaces the DRUMmer for students who need to make the smaller Home Study investment of $1,450.00. Operates on 48 settings.) Dr. Wittman would be pleased with the new machine shown to right. Zachary Brinkerhoff, DR, M.I.R. President, learned to be open minded and experimental from Eunice Ingham Stopfel who trained him to use in- struments for creating reflex stimulus. He was cer- tified through The Ingham School of Commssion Massage in 1967 which was then located in Roch- ester, NY. He has continued in the tradition of Ors . Wittman & Ingham through the purchase of the IN- STITUTE which, under Zachary's leadership, be- came the first state approved occupational school of reflexology in the United States. He recently con- verted Dr. Riley's old spinal percussor into a Re- flexoCure machine with 8 spe- cialty probe tips. "We have ex- panded its use beyond the spine to include the feet, hands and other selected meridian points on the body with our newly de- veloped reflex probe tips.• Also, Zachary's research into radiant energy validated the INSTITUTE's use of radiant in- frared energy lamps.

The la ser to which she referred was a phase in the re- s earch of hoth co herent and noncoherent light sources applied as a reflex stimulus technique on vo lunteers over a 12 year period at the Modern In- sti tute of Reflexology Research & Development Clinic. The fruit of thi s long-range enterprise was the develo pment of the Photoluminescent Reflex Beamer 111-3b shown in this brochure.

"I wanted t o be faithful to the foundation laid by Dr. Fitzgerald' Group {Ors . Bowers, White. Lust. and Riley) which included the marriage oflnfrared Ray Lamp with Zone Therapy.

In Ger- many, that great doctor , d'Arsonval was using Physio-Therapy and gening relief fo llowing the use ofret1ex knowledge which, in effect was what was later termed Zone Therapy by Ors. Fitzgerald and Bowers. While researching in Crerar Library at Chi- cago a most fortunate circumstance that changed the cour e ofmy life occurred . Mr. F. F .

I was cured of my sciatic pain after only one lreatmenl' aid and Bowers, and before I realized it, I was signed up to become Director of Research at his factory. Burdick had a Chicago office in the Stewart Building and while doing some work there, Dr. Bowers came in. He showed me sufficient to make me an advocate for Zone Therapy . He was immensely interested in the possible combined use of infra red rays and Zone Therapy, and wrote Dr. Whit e in Los Angeles about my work. "This resulted in a most earnest invitation from Dr. George Star White to come to his Clinic and sec the combination at work together, the following January. I was right on the pot January 20 . Dr . Bowers was al- rea dy there and oo n followed by Dr . Fitzgerald and many oth er repu - tab I e physicians who were inter- c ted in the welfare of patient s -not in the heft of their purses."

Low Level Laser activatio n of acupuncture points -had long been rec gnized as more effective than nee- ·• • • dling, so Low Level Laser and Light Emitting Diodes were adopted into the Full Spectrum of tJ- INSTITUTE's reflexology techniques. MIR Clin. cians observed that laser excitation offoot, hand and ear reflexes was working synergistically with the nega- tive DC electrical activity produced by finger/wooden probe pressure or percussive machine reflex tech- niques. Treatment outcome appeared to produce a deeper level of equilibrium along with improved symptom-reduction and shortened treatment time. As laser exposure times were increased from 50 to 300 to 1000 and finally 3,000 joules/treatment ... it be- came apparent that the rate of symptom relief was fur- ther accelerated. New research data presented at the 1998 Congress of the World Association for Laser Therapy (WAL n led MIR Clinicians to realize that the application of light energy was aeati.ng a SYS- TEMIC EFFECT that included (but went beyond) photon bombardment of specific reflex/meridian points which targeted selected body parts.

Zachary had noticed during the preliminary interview that all the complaints the Driller had annotated on his medical history form were located on the right side of his body. As the treatment progressed a simple deduction showed the reason why the left side of his body was in a perfect state of health . It was obviously due to daily percussion from the hydraulic line against the bottom of his left boot. "Do you ever put y our right foot over on that line?" asked Zachary . "If you could do that y ou wouldn't need to come see me any more. Save yourself some time and money." "Well," explained the Driller, "When I'm not feeling good ...

Dr. Clement Wittman founder of the Modern Institute of Reflexology. The origins of MIR Research and Development Clinic were laid by Clement Wittman in 1953 when he was certified by Eunice Ingham Stopfel and began his professional practice. The Percuss-0-Motor was held in high regard in the '50's, and Reflexologist Wittman purchased several units. He eventually developed a proficient foot reflex percussive technique that lasted about 10 minutes. After 25 years of heavy use his POM began to falter, but the McShirley Company had ceased production; there were no replacements available. McShirley's shutdown led to Clement's design and development of the Percuss-0- Flex machine ( 1800 1PM) which not only replaced his old Percuss- 0-Motor, but it became an FDA appro.ved over the counter item. He made it available lo reflexologists for professional use as well as for lay people in self- treatment.

Drs. Wittman and Brinkerhoff never met face to face , but because their interests ran parallel when it came to machine percussion techniques; they discussed progressive development of percussion or reciprocal type stimulus via telephone on numerous occasions. When Brinkerhoff once told Wittman that he had raised his treatment level to 3600 impacts a minute, he replied, "I believe anything above 1800 1PM is vibration ... not percussion. However, I can't argue with your good results!" Brinkerhoff eventually produced the Percus-0-Matic 'jackhammer' ... as it became http ://www .retlexologyinstitute.com/clinic _ history.php ,~, = M.I.R.CLINIC Updatl': 9/11 /05 ~ PERCUS-0-MATIC PROTOTYPE Shown in his Lakewood , CO , "Home Clin ic" in 1987 .

"Through our study and observation here at MIR Research & Development Clinic I eventually came to understand the three major mechanisms of action involved with reflex stimulus; all of which produced the same end result: elimination of the blood proteins and excessive water from the space between the cells; which block access of oxygen to the cells and thereby produce what was identified by Dr. Guyton as the anaerobic"de!llh !i~te". Now I understand bow so many people appeared to be cured in just one reflexology treabnent," stated Zachary. Below we see four sarcoma cancers on the leg of an Amish patient of Marcel Poiron, DR. This was accomplished at the Canadian Institute of Modem Body Reflexotherapies through the hands of Dr. Poiron who administered a combination of Reflexology using the Percuss-0-Flex machine and Herbal Bitters.

Two of Reflexology's arch skeptics challenged the Modem Institute of Reflexology on a syndicated SHOWflME TV program: Penn & Teller: Bullshit. MIR President Zachary Brinkerhoff, who represented Reflexologists on the show, has been asked to respond to the 13 questions raised by both QuackBuster Stephen Barrett, MD, and Comedian Penn Jillet!e who both appeared on the nationwide TV program in order to humorously (Penn laughingly succeeded) bash reflexocure aka reflexology. Here are Zachary's answers: r.r,J -I · ~.'1 .. It •rf~ ~ Dr. Barrett steers the QuackWatch flagship and appeared on the TV show as an "expert witness". Their mascot is a Duck shown to the left (similar to his , brother duck to the right) holding a magnifying glass, wearing a detective's hat and a stethoscope hanging around it's neck. Doesn't it seem strange that the Official QuackBusters would choo.ae a Duck as Quac#rBuarer their emblem? Is something quaclty Web Emblem. going on with these QuackBusters? Maybe the team at QuackWatch is seeing their own image reflected from the surface of the magnifying glass (QuackGlass?) through which they examine and judge others? Will the real Quack ... I mean Duck ... please stand up? Penn and Teller is a Las Vegas comedy team hired by SHOWflME to humorously "expose" the quackery of "alternative medicine" They covered the gambit with a series of tongue-in-cheek half hour programs that proved very popular with a segment of the USA population. Numerous reruns and a set of DVD's for the market followed. Maybe some candid answers will help settle some of the hostile controversy generated by the show where uninformed remarks against reflexocurists aka reflexologists were liberally pouml out.

Dr. Barrett'• 'QuackWatch' ••YI "Quackery entalh the u1e of metbodl that are not aclentlftcaUy accepted". Are your theorem and reflH techniques 1clentlflcally accepted? (I.QJO()..QU11&e) The Profession of Reflexology (ReflexoCure) hu a hypotheses that is grounded in a long history of positive therapeutic results. Therapeutic heat lamps, percuaaion machines and probes advocated by M.I.R. have been utilized with great success by the pioneers of our profession since the ~ 1200'..s. In the USA there is a procedure for 'grand fathering' health procedures or devices that have been commonly accepted; which protects them from new legislation that would impose unnecessary medical regulation. Aspirin and Infrared Lamps (still used by physical therapists) and percussive massager machines are three out of hundreds of items that are now public domain. Since our Photoluminescent Reflex Beamers fall within the very broad spectrum of INFMREQ light energy; and Dr. Riley's Percussion Machine was reclassified by the FDA to an over-th~ter massager; these instruments have also been deemed safe foruse by the general public (as with aspirin) without a prescription. That doesn't mean, however, that the three are without dangers if improperly used. I do declare that "scientifically accepted" medicines are killing people right now. Statistics released to the public on 6/1/03 list iatrogenic disease as the nwnber three killer in the USA. This is a disease induced by misapplied prescription drugs. And it is physicians who have prescribed them. Over 200,000 a year die from drugs ... just in hospitals. Someday the FDA (who at one time said the 'science' behind the medical research was 'accepted1 may have to pull more drugs from the 'shelf'; because the 'science' behind them will have been proven to be faulty. Evidently the 'QuackWatch' term "scientifically accepted" is not definitive. That claim can be misleading on both sides of the fence. It appears the so-called science of pharmaceutical companies is oft times deceitful. It seems we may have to begin to watch out for ourselves or die prematurely. Looks like it's going to 'boil down to' survival of the cautiously skeptical and those who pray. As long as modem medicine fails to employ the scientific concept set forth by the International Lymphatic Society regarding the overload and resultant dysfunction of the lymphatic system as the primary causative factor of disease; their remedies and techniques will continue to fail because of a misdirected focus .

Then follow your own conscience. You'll be glad you did . I have communicated with QuackBuster Barrett s ince th e Penn & Teller TV show about his many comments. He couldn't remember exactly what or when or in relation to whom he said anything during his interview with SHOWTIME. I-le fell into the "I think" defensive mode when responding to my many questions. Barrett is a semi-retired psychiatrist who has tak en it upon himself to expose medical fraud . "I think" his failure to nail a homeopathic manufac turer for· false advertising in a California Court cost him some money and brought a rebuke from the ruling judge in the case. The judge evidently put the burden of proof agains t the manufacturers accused by QuackWatch, upon Barrett himself. He hadn't shown any scientific evidence in court to prove his accusation that homeopathic remedies are a fraud. However, he require that same evidence of proof from others to validate their therapy. I think the judge made a good gesture in behalf of alternative medicine by throwing Barrett's case out of court. The burden of proof should be upon the accusers. Innocent until proven guilty, right? Conclusion : I don't "think" QuackBuster Barrett even knows what Modem Institute of Reflexology's newly unfolded postulate ofreflexocure (reflexology) is all about. I haven't yet discussed it with him. 2. Does M.I.R. Research & Development Clinic expose their findings to review by other scientists? QuackBuster Barrett says you do not! ( tO_!QJLQf p~~ QuackBuster Barrett spoke in general terms which lumped Reflexology under Alternative Medicine. He has not specifically investigated M.I.R ., so he really doesn't know the facts as they relate to us . The truth is that I recently submitted an abstract on the PHOTO-SYSTEMIC-EFFECT to the educational board of the North American Association of Laser Therapy for inclusion into the 2003 Conference. It was rejected. Dr. Juanita Anders, Ph.D., president of NAAL T, explained the three reasons the board rejected it (I didn't use the word THEOREM; I employed the word MUCOUS; and recommended that believing prayer should be offered to all patients). These objections were considered, the paper corrected and the abstract resubmitted for final evaluation.

Dr . West states that bi oelectric currents cre a ted by reflexocure activity can effectively deal with th is congestion : the causative fa ctor of all pain & disease .

Uniform Services University Hospital : Here Dr. Anders teaches and conducts la ser research with her Diabetic Model : Fat Sand Rats . .It was her research that observed the systemic effect that M.I.R. was able to further document and present in an abstract for publication into the NAAL T record . Dr. Anders in her critique also pointed out what she liked about our clinical observations; especially the "two markers" of the "sedation-effect"; as evidence of the moment of photon saturation ; which is involved in creating and then observing the PHOTO-SYSTEMIC-EFFECT; using an artificial light source. Dr. Anders has volunteered her time to review all our clinical observations after compilation into a abstract. "In NAAL T the clinicians and scientists need to learn to work together for the common good of the organization," she exclaimed over the phone in her conversation with me.

QuackBuster Barrett's 'QuackWalch' says the cru e le st form of quackery is false hope given to lhc seriou sly ill when death is inevitable. Are renexologists guilty '! (to to p o f page) The average re ll exocuri st (rellexologi st) is not going to try to save someone in a ho s pice that has gone th ere to die . Most will administer their gill to help the dying come to grips with the reality of meeting their Maker and getting their affairs in order. The general consensus indicates that patients in the agony of a bad death experience finds that reflexology (retlexocurc) soothes and relaxes them; reduces severity of pain ; and occasionally will help restore the dying to life . I myself, however, will nol IUrn anyone away from reflexoc ure treatmenl that has a desire to get better; regardless of th eir condition . Every time I was tempted to refuse someone because of their degenerate slate; I later was glad that I hadn't !urned them away; when they repaired. I have had people with cancer die; yet I have seen others pronounced healed by their doctors; when no trace of lhe existing cancer could be found . I've seen degenerated vertebrae problems in retired citizens recover 95%; after only six months of daily self-help and a few professional treatments. I have seen cataracts regress that were scheduled for surgery; to the joy of the patient. Yes, the list is endless. But not every person gets a recovery. Why? Not every person will experience recovery from their problem because there are many variable factors involved; which in some cases require a change of lifestyle. Laws of health have many times been broken. Even Jesus told people he had healed to "go and sin no more lest a worse thing come upon you." Many people will get a reflexology (reflexocure) treatment and begin to feel 'human' again; but if they don't eliminate the CAUSE OF THEIR DISEASE; their progress will dwindle to a trickle; and they will soon become discouraged . People must be willing to clear their conscience and get right with their Creator. They must forgive others and ask forgiveness from those they have wronged . They must begin to pray for those who have despitefully used them or they will never get well; much less be ready for the death experience. As a renexocurist I remind the patient : The Creator heals; I help. In 1959 a surgeon named Dr. Lipscomb, MD, likewise told me after exploratory spinal surgery; for attempted correction of a lesion which caused my paralysis: "Son, I have done all that I can do, God will have to do the rest." (ZAchary's response: Hey bud, what does this god have 10 do with my surgery? You are supposed lo fix me!!! You are a medical doctor. You have failed lo do yo11r job!) We would all do well to realized that there is a law of 'sowing and reaping'; the consequences of which cannot always be reversed. And yes, there is a Sovereign Creator to whom we are accountable. Doctors, reflexocurists, and any of us in the health professions are limited; by our own shortcomings and the patients inability to obey their own conscience. 4.

But the probl e m with QuackBuster's Baratz and Barrett is that their numerous lawsuit s against cutting-edge Holi sti c hea lth care practitio.ners are man y times unfounded . Their numerous failures to get a conviction with thei r "expert witness" testimony says a lot. Maybe Barrett's QuackGlass is warped a little? Let me clarify that the MIR Website doesn't promote 'nontoxic' items, but it is a good idea to generally avoid toxic substances when you have a choice; whether it is a natural herb or pharmaceutical drug. We believe a person should follow their 'natural' instincts and obey the Creators natural and spiritual laws according to their conscience. We occasionally use the word 'Wholistic' in the context of dealing with the whole person: Spirit, Soul and Body. And we don't refer to the results of reflexocure (reflexology) as being 'miraculous' unless a miracle does occur as a result of treatment that included believing prayer. We define the norrnal results of reflexology (reflexocure) as a SPONTANEOUS HEALING which is under girded with a scientific, anatomical, physiological process clearly defined in our Home Study Course. SPONTANEOUS REMISSION is another term we use to describe the end result of reflexology's (reflexocure's) mechanism of action advocated by Dr. Samuel West of Orem, Utah . 5. Stephen Barrett. MD, of 'QuackWatch' defamed you on Penn and Teller: Bullshit. He Hid your reference to 'buUdJng the Immune 1y1tem' wu not a valid support of reflexology and caUed you a 'Quack'. (to top of page) Lymphatic Sysfem? nect to Immunity? R.n.xology CrNf9S bloelectrtclty? Hmmmmmm. Eighteen years ago Mayo Clinic Newsletter published an article by Jarvis: "10 Ways to Identify a Quack ." The first thing on his list was "a claim to build the immune system." That may have flown with the public back then, but since the advent of AIDS the public appreciates the immune nstem more than ever. It has become common knowledge that if you have your spleen surgically removed (major part of your immune system) you are subject to every little bug that comes along; and could easily die from a chronic infection. I want to be fair with QuackBuster Barrett here: there may be area's of our body that the immune system isn't involved in protecting. However, defense against cancer cells are likely to be part of the innate immune response, such as neutrophil s, macrophages and natural-killer cells (Nature Reviews Cancer, Spontaneous regression of advanced cancer: by Emma Greenwood). Under the subject of THEOREM we have examined how the electrical energy created by reflexocure (reflexology) helps to clear the interstitial congestion that smothers the immune structure known as the lymphatic system. What I meant in my TV statement about "building the immune system": rellexocure procedures will increase the funct ion of any congested tissue cell group; by helping them to unload the excessive water and blood proteins (mucous) which builds up in the space between the cells. Removal of this congestion by activation of the lymphatic vessels is neces.'!Bry in order for th e cells to gel oxygen and begin lo perform their function again . The immune system can't function with this blockage in the interstitial space; anymore than you can wash dishes with a grease filled sponge; or breath through a nose cl osed oIT with sinuses that are bulging with excessive mucus (that is feeding a http ://www .rcllexologyinstitute .com/foq_rellexulogy .php 1'.i!!C :inf 12 •, BadTalk1ng the immune system can get a OuackBuster into trouble in these days of medical enlightenment. I think the Quack Talk is on the other side of the fence . If you let your Immune system run down : you may die from the onslaught of cancer OI' with a bacteria that has become resistant to your "scientific " antibiotics.

(to to p of pa ge) ""'°' contrlbutlng factor ...• ,,.. .. 1 Hmmmmmm. I really can't figure out where QuackBuster is coming from on thi s one. A perso n that ha s a buildup of tension in the body kn ows it . They feel an internal pressure . This produces what is called stress. Pain itself is associated with stress. Stress is a medically recogni zed problem that is treated with various prescnpt1on drugs ; surgeries; psychiatry; Priestly counseling; and even reflexology. Dr . Coodlcy at the University of California says: "Stress is a major contributing factor in I 00-/e of all disease; and nobody is immune." Who is Barrett trying to kid about an indefinable"stress"? If a person is out of step with their own COfllcience; they will be burdened by guilt. Guilt will produce poisons that create the seedbed of stress and disease aymptoml. If a pcnon is anll'Y it will also release poisons in their body; which will likewise cause the pores in the capillaries lo dilate. Dilated capillary pores will lel excess waler and blood proteins into the space between the cells. If this isn'I drained off by the now constricted lymphatic vessels; the buildup of this mucoid debris and rapidly polluting waler will block oxygen to the cells; and death will begin lo Id in to that area of congestion. The death state can produce severe stress symptoms: hyperventilation; hot or cold sweats; tremors; dizziness; headache; nausea; vomiting; seizure and ultimately death itself. People that experience stress are being gripped by the death state at the cellular level. Full Spectrum Reflexology addresses this problem al its root: Excessive water and blood proteins (•lmilor to PWllh""'i" or egg white) in the interstitial space. How? By creating neptive direct current and piczo/static electricity which you create by simply walking barefooted on the beach or anvel driveway ; or artificially simulating the Kl by application of Dr. Riley's Massager or dynamic ReflexyCurc probe preaurc to the bottom of the feet. This newly generated bioclcctricity in tum breaks the sodium/blood protein congealed state; which has been flooding the space between the cells. Now these liberated protein particles and contaminated water can flow into the reactivated lymph vessels; for purification in the lymph nodes and return to the blood stream. Oxygen can enter the cell once again. Now normal function returns to the cells. Guess what? Pain and stress caused from oxygen deprivation and cell death disappears . You're cured? How long will it lut? Only until you restart the cycle by poisoning yourself again with negative emotional attitudes. 7.

Following publication Bill told me: "As we continued to refine the data some of the result!! were running as high as 95% effective."

Flocco's study was the issue. There are many studies around the world besides Flocco's that show benefit. But what is the probable harm of reflexology (reflexocure)? The best measure of literal harm (outside of gross neglect) is the ability to obtain malpractice liability insurance. If a practitioner of 'anything' can obtain viable insurance to cover probable 'harm' to the patient, then this is his assurance to the FDA, the public, the medical profession and the recipient of the therapy's margin of safety. All students of the Home Study and teachers at M.I.R. Clinic are covered by a student blanket Malpractice/Liability insurance policy which is underwritten by a top insurance company.

(!..o Jop of page) Any device that has not been approved by the FDA has to be labeled as an "Experimental Device". We are simply giving full disclosure before treatment. Some people ask about the device, but most don't. They seem to have a trust from the fir st moment of encounter. That old 'first impression'. Others who didn't like the full disclosure statement have simply handed me the clipboard, stood up from the couch, and walked out th e door. In 36 years I have had about 12 people walk out on me. After reading the FULL DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT you will appreciate why that number is so low . It is specifically blunt. (Dr. Riley's Ultra Massager aka the DRUMmer was a11 approved medical device for cleari11g /u11gs . but to be sold by the INSTITUTE the FDA had to reclassify it as a11 over-th e- coulller massage device.) Technically, probes are no more experimental than a pebble or rock or stick someone might step on in the course of walking bare footed. In reality probes are an archetype reflex stimulus technique and therefore outside of FDA approval requirements. 13.

Not today, because you are grossly dehydrated . The treatment wouldn't do you any good in that condition. Gradually increase your water consumption from 2 to 8 glasses of water a day between now and your appointment. Call before you come in." One week later she called, "I am healed!!! You were right!!!

He was an inventor who devised hi s own techniques to treat rectal disease : hemorrhoids, polyps, fistulas . Driven by his own need for a cure of a chronic condition of hemorrhoids, inventor Brinkerhoff designed a rectal speculum which . opened the rectum to the Alesander W. Brinkerhoff, MD light of day. He then ' used herbal compounds to inject into the hemorrhoid; which caused it to shrink and disappear. He treated one hemorrhoid a month and guaranteed a cure or you didn't pay. ·No CURE NO PA y• WU his claim that resounded throughout Ohio and the surroundina states. Dr. Brinkerhoff was an Ohio pioneer of the I 800'1 who had no formal education. He wu self educated and had over 30 patentedr,;,inventions. Most everyone in the 1860'1 had a problem of the rectum (much strain &om manual labor and clearin1 the land for fannin1); and nearly everyone wanted a cure.

But he turned the table on them and showed them to be the quacks that they were. Within 6 yean be had given 80,000 treatments without a death and had become wealthy fiom sales of his patented herbal medicinm and inlb'Uments. The medical fraternity finally accepted hia syatcm of treatin1 hemorrhoids. Medical doctors were soon applying hia techniques in every state of the Union and by the I 880'1 Dr. Brinkerhoff (u he wu a1ao recopiz.ed in the press) had become one of the most hiply respected residents of Upper Sandusky, Ohio.

Even a cursory reflexocure treatment I have given has produced powerful results as part of short presentations made before smalt classes at beauty collepe or maaap therapy counes. Often a 15 NCODd treabnent to the hypothalamus/pituitary reflex has relieved headaches and pain in the neck or back within minutes. Based on the information presented in this Website it is reuonable to usume that a treatment given to a supposedly h~thy penon could be considered an act of preventive medicine. Therefore every treatment is laced with some degree of value to the recipient. Useless treatments? How m? If a penon just wants to be pampered or find relaxation ... could that be considered a useless medical treatment? If a chiropractic adjustment simply makes me feel better ... and I am willing to pay ... what is the harm? Does it do harm to "pop" the bubbles in the synovial fluid in my joints? I think not ... unless I have a tendency to osteoarthritis which could be auravated by continual distention of the joints. But what about those series of 20 to 30 to 40 treatments? Are they really necessary? In some cases I would say yes and in others, no. As a reflexologist I would assign reflexology self- treatment to be done every day. If a chiropractor would reconunend reflexology it could cut a series of chiropractic treatments from 50 to just 5 .... in some cases. But each case has to be taken on an individual basis. I have given up to 20 treatments in series with -excellent results which could not have been obtained in S sessions. The problem with most people? They are not consistent with their daily self-treatment at home. Most ReflexoCurists (Reflexologists) and Chiropractors are independent contractors who rely on clientele to pay the overhead. Repeat business is necessary to make a profit. The more overhead ... the higher the rate and/or the more repeat business you need to cover your debt. I run a business but I don't string people out for IO or 20 treatments unless necessary or if they are loaded with money and need to spend it. Neither do I make a profit in my clinical business because of the high overhead which I justify due to shared rental expenses with the INSTITUTE. http://www.ref1exologyinstitute.com/faq_ref1exology.php ('age 11 ,,t 12 9/19/2005 .,.

As she prepared to pay her bill for the treatment and the instruments, she stated that she wanted to make a deal with me. "I wan to geev you money for 10 trement ", she said . "You geev me good deal!!!" It was a long drive from Loveland. Her husband had to bring her. I thought about the situation and responded: "You have tools to help yourself. Go home and use your new BEAMER V-S; and use the Kl stimulator (Nicole's RcflcxyCurc probe). You can do it yourself. Save your money for children. If you need me to help, then you should come back."

These sources have demonstrated that reflex/meridian point activation triggers the photo-bioelectric aspects of the body's spontaneous healing/wellness processes. (See THEOREM below which describes reflex mechanism of action.) M .I.R . Research & Development Clinic has been able to consistently demonstrate spontaneous healing. These most often occur in clinical reflex applications when photo- bioelectric Qisequilibril!!ltlequilibrium is activated in the human body by use of: steady or alternating finger/probe pressure; linear percussion machines; ice/heat; intra/ultra sound; noncoherent/coherent (Low Level Laser) light; magnetism; piezo/microamp electricity ; vacuum cups/boots; and foot joint micro-alignment reflex technique procedure (note: a believing prayer of faith offered by Dr. Brinkerhoff was an adjunctive choice accepted by 50°/t, of recipients which he personally treated). Hence, reflexology may be considered a vital aspect of the newly emerging INTEGRATIVE MEDICAL MODEL. This manifestation of spontaneous healing has been shown. to be longer lasting if: (a) the body is brought into a state of norm~I cellular hydration; (b) maintains nutritional sufficiency; (c) given moderate exposure to sunlight; (d) receives daily reflex stimulus and (e) a clear conscience is maintained on the part of the recipient by adherence to the directive of the Sovereign Creator to Jive in peace by treating others as you desire that they treat you. A few leaders in the USA Reflexology profession associated with the ~RCB have challenged the INSTITUTE to differentiate between the Full Spectrum style of Reflexology (which uses both ancient and modern tools) and the so-called "Orthodox USA" and "British Style" (which requires that the practitioner use "hands only" in a professional Reflexology session). This definition page is the INSTITUTE's answer to their request. M.I.R. is in agreement with the pioneers of the USA reflexology profession (Fimi_erald, Rij~y. Ingham, Carter & Wittman); that probe, percussion or radiant energy devices are many times critical to the creation of sufficient levels of the regenerative photo-bioelectric disequilibrium/equilibrium interaction; especially by lightweight practitioners treating some of their more robust heavyweight recipients. The INSTITUTE has chosen the term Full Spectrum Reflexology Method to describe the fruit of 36 years of pioneering research into effective reflex stimulus (sedation/tonification of the body electric) by Zachary Brinkerhoff (Dr. Eunice lngham-Stopfel's enthusiastic student). Zachary has described his learning process over the years through a postulate that he recently posted on this web site: INTUITIVE EXPERIENTIALISM Cl/cir l!_e,:e to en1JJll nowt --------------------·-·· ------------- The dynamic photo-bioelectric effect of the Reflexology Mechanism of Action is best understood in light of the: http://www.reflexologyinstitute.cont/reflex_ def. php ,.::., .LOllY Updatrd: 4 /1.J/05 Dr .

The original scientific research which revealed thal excessive BLOOD PROTEIN AND WATER leakage into the space between the cells due to generalized increase in capillary penneability (resulting from trauma "shock" or poisoning) was made among three medical schools right here in the USA. The basic discoveries (made between 1930 & 1961) were the result of cooperation between Arthur C. Guyton at Mississippi School of Medicine; H. S. Mayerson, al Tulane School of Medicine; and Cecil K. Drinker, Harvard School of Medicine. (C. S. Wesl, Golden Seven Plus One, 1982, LCCN 81-86099.) The lnlernational Society ofLymphology was founded in 1966 by lhe US Government and US Army when lhey broughl lymphologists from all over the world to meel with Dr. H .S. Mayerson of Tulane Medical School at a meeting in New Orleans. The objective of the ISL wwi lo pursue the findings of Mayerson and his colleagues; thal the intrusion of blood proleins and excessive waler inlo the space between lhe cells musl be syslematically removed by the lymphatic vessels in order to keep these same cells in the "DRY STATE"; the condition necessary for optimum heallh.

The stasis of the "blood proteins and water" in the interstitium will "alter" the "DRY STATE." Excessive capillary _ penneability (porosity) may prevent absorption of oxygen by the cells. They observed that this condition (caused by trauma or poisoning) could cause death "in about 24 hours" or even less; if the lymphatic system was unable to clear the interstitium and prevent lhe onset of osmotic shock (rupture o f cell walls). l1a1111 In 1981 Dr. Samuel fn• TluH cell ca11lll•fl West was invited to ·~~-·,rt·t~·.; ~-•r· ~~1·· Ta·~;.··· prese~t his 31 ~t~p ll • ~.X . -• I equation descnbmg . ~ " o .-,..,. the "DRY \ ~ I , 8{ 8 ,!.._ -l ST ATE" (postulated : ti.:-'r" t 1'(f;/ _ impossible/or p eople http ://www .re fl exolo gyin s titute .com/reflex _ d ef. php Fr.

Dr. West's equatio n was unanimously accepted and he was encouraged by th e committee to start the International Academy of Lymphology (IAL); in order to get this information disseminated to th e people of the world . (Ibid., West.) Rebounding and deep breathing have been shown by West to be powerful lymphatic vessel activators; as have electrical defibrillators used in emergency rooms. Here defibrillators are used for reactivating the heart; which can become erratic or even stop beating due to oxygen depravation; caused by the blood protein-water congestion and the resultant osmotic pressures in the space between the cells. Sufficient electrical shock closes the dilated pores and instantly activates the lymph vessels. Life returns as blood volume is restored and oxygen is again able to access the cells. A drummer hammers his drumheads; like Riley's DR~Mmer hammers the feet. Likewise, the dynainic hammerhead of Dr. Riley's Ultra Massager aka the DRUMmer has demonstrated its ability to generate massive static/piezo electricity and the negative direct current of injury; especially when applied to th e Kl Meridian Point as pictured in diagram shown above. The DRUMmer, in conjunctio n with the Photoluminescent Reflex BEAMER's creation of both thermal-electricity from heat and photo-bioelectricity from light waves, have (like the medical defibrillator) demonstrated their ability to close the dilated pores and activate the lymphatic system, i.e., dissolution of edema, etc. When excessive blood proteins and water are allowed to remain in the interstitium; this congestive mixture will continue to grow and undergo degenerative changes. The albumin (blood proteins) will begin to congeal and take on the glue-like appearance that is similar to that of egg whites (see pictures to right); while other blood components along with metabolic waste products and dead cells will become contributing factors to this oxygen deprived emulsified anaerobic swamp of fermenting mucold debris. The manifestation of outward symptoms produced by the interstitial disease state are progressive: I) first latent or hidden; 2) then progressing to the acute stage where pain becomes a "pain"; 3) and finally the chronic or degenerate stage where cellular tissue groups begin to become anaerobic ( cancer potential is high) and die.

You loo can make your own wooden reflex probes. S ince 19 S2 The purpose of a probe in reflexology applications is to act as an extension of your thumb or finger. A wooden probe has some advantage over steel because it will resonate the vibrations of crystalline debris as it is broken up in the subcutaneous tissues. Mildred Carter agrees that the probe may be necessary for some reflexology practitioners either to preserve their finger joints from injury or to reach into the deeper r.--tlexes. She says, "My REFLEX PROBE acts as a strong finger for those who have tired, sore or weak hands and fingers . It gives added endurance so that you can extend a treatment and double the benefits of improving circulation so the body can heal itself." The question of recipient injury from the misuse of a probe has been raised by some hands-only professionals, but a little common sense will go a long way to help prevent any unnecessary tissue damage. Mildred herself has REFLEX PROBE given us some guidelines in her MHdred's wooden probe. writings: "The REFLEX PROBE is beneficial for working deep reflexes, and for those hard-to-get-at areas, such as between toes (and fingers), and the spot where the toes meet the foot (and fingers joi11 the palm)." http://www.reflexologyinstitute.com/retlex _probes. php l'agc I ot7 ,=, =a REFI.EJtOlOOY Updated: 08/18/05 Native Wooden Probe Iris Bird Bear Obes Is a full-blood Indian of Mandan and Hidatsu Nations localed in Newtown, ND .

Slowly rotate the PROBE in a rolling, circular motion. • Use the rounded end to reach in between - toes and fingers. Also use the gentleness of the rounded end on very sore reflex areas. • Gently rotate the PROBE on a tender reflex button for a few seconds, then continue on to other reflex areas. When you return to the tender button later, you will probably notice that a lot of the tenderness is gone. • The smaller end of the PROBE can be used to reach deeper reflexes such as the pituitary gland reflex in the thumb and big toe. And where the skin is thicker such as around edges of the feet, and heels of the hands . • Another method is to press your PROBE into a reflex button and pull downward (a technique taught by Eunice Ingham). Use this technique around the heel area where skin tissue is harder. Marshall Mike Mulqueen is tutored by Dr. Long at MIR Clinic.

The Terry Olson and Bill Flocco PMS study was published in Obstetrics & GynecolOBY in December 1993.

He was excited about Flocco's BIi Flocco & Zachary' published study which had opened the meet again In 2004 at door for Ear Reflexology to finally RAA Confentnce. gain acceptance in the professjon. So he stood behind Bill's effort to dispel the objections of some reflexologists concerned about infringement into the profession of acupressure. Bill initially presented the study in 1994 at the charter conference of Reflexology Aslociation of America held in St. Louis, Missouri. He stated, •since publication of the PMS study we have continued to analyze om data and found it was better than we originally thought. Some of om results were as high as 95% effective." This percentage is in agreement with Chinese studies which also show reflexology u 95-o/o effective. Flocco set up the use of only the finger and thumb in bis PMS control study protocol. He uaed these hmnan appendages to probe, find and create the needed pressure on the targeted ear, hand and foot reflexes. Why not the more accurate SS Acupressure probe for the ears? Well, Bill is a hands-only reflexologist so he is morally and ethically limited in choosing the study's reflexology stimulus applications. BIi Flocco. However, his IIIIIOCiate Terry Olson, Ph.D. does employ an electropuncture machine with a fine bnss probe for ear point activation in bis own studies and practice. Bill's associate, Dr. Olson, also teaches the use of this closed- loop direct current machine in his Ear Electropuncture Classes. MIR likewise teaches the use of direct current microamp reflex stimulators in the Full Spectnun ReflexolOBY Method. MIR's approach includes all viable techniques in ear reflexology: finger probe pressure, stainless steel probes, microamp & pie7.0 electricity, low level laser, infrued lamps, and the touch of believing prayer with the finger or palm upon the auricular of both ears simultaneously.

Kim stockpiled two dual POF's and several single units to assure future supply of this instrument which is the heart of her reflexology program. Kim has bu ilt a viable practice by which she is able to support herself and is presently purchasing a home in the Daytona, FloFida area . Reflexologist Kling uses various probes in History: Dr. Clement T. Wittman, DN, DR T1tERE IS ONE TH I NG STRONGER THAN ALL THE ARMIES tN T ltE WORLD, AND Tl-I A T IS AN I DEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME. V 1c 10R I l uo:, --------------· =~---=== Dr. Wittman, founder of lhe Modem Institute of Reflex o logy , experienced reflexology from the moment of birth by the hands of his Mother Beth Willman . He had a wonderful example in the "woman with the steel fingers" as she was described by her palients . In 1952 he earned certification with Eunice Ingham Stopfel and continued hi s fledgling practice while attending the Nalional College of Naprapathy in Illinois. Following graduation he opened a clinical practice in Oak Park, Illinois where he blended fool reflexology with naprapathy in order to effectively treat the infirm who sought him out. New & Improved Dr. Wittman'• Reffex-0-Messeger Wittman started using the Percuss-0- Motor early in his career through the example of his parents who both used this machine that was recommended by Dr. Fitzgerald. Like Zachary .!!r.inkerhofJ, he saw a need to supplement finger pressure and thumb walking in order to save the thumb joints. The solenoid powered percussion machine filled that bill. "Between Dad, Mom and myself we had 80+ years of experience utili zing the old Percuss-0-Molor Machine. When the original POM machines we had wore out, I had lo design a new model (using solid state circuitry instead of radio lubes) since the McShirley company had gone out of business," related Clem . The new and improved Percuss-0-Flex gave a smooth drummer-like action just like the old POM . It was finally perfected and presented to the public through the American Institute of Reflexology. Wittman changed the name to Modern Institute of Reflexology when he registered the school with the US Government in 1981. He had been conducting one-day seminars across the USA in order to train those who aspired to become professionals such as Kim Kling by utili zing his new POF drummer type percussive machine. Dr. Wittman's inlensive I-Day ( 12 hour) seminar was designed lo enable the aspiring professional to : I .

WILSON MIZNER Comments from an MIR Student From: kris [mailto: lkr@comcut.net) Seat: Friday, April 01, 200S 6:57 PM To: footdocs@reflexologyinstitute.com Subject: a new students' thanks Dear Zach, I enrolled in your home study about a month ago and I wanted to let you know (and any others that might be wondaing if this could be the right school for than) what my fint impressions are. I have just completed Leaon 4 ... and my feelings can best be described by any one of the following words: Wow! Excellent! Exciting! Tremendous! (You get the idea I think.) I bad been looking for a reflexology school for close to one year. It needed to fulfill several requirements. I) quality of edu,cation (both content and preaentation). 2) incorporate or resonate with my own phil090phical values . 3) be affordable and convenient. Out ,,r all the research I did on the Internet, snail mail, and telephone ... there were only two (2) schools that I felt were right for me. One was over 2,000 miles away and out of my budget (by the time I added the expensive of travel and temporary living arrangements). The Modern Institute of Reflellology also looked good on their Website, but ... a home study school? hmmm ... was not too sure about that. I know I am a good student, but what if I had questions? (And I al •·;:tys do .) http://www.reflellologyinstitute.com/reflex _ wittman .php Pal!c111f<; 9/19/2005 .. Modem Ins titute of Reflexology After studying your extensive Web description of the In stitute, I made a phone call to speak with someone at the front de sk ... the person whose job it is to sign you up before you can change your mind. Instead, I got your voice mail. So, I left my nam e and number. You are the one that called me back ... that very evening (and had to leave a message on my voice mail). Anyway, when we finally made the connection, I cautiously ell pressed some of my doubts about a home study course . I was surprised and impressed when you did not try to "sell" me on enrolling. You thought my educational level might be above the home study presentation and suggested that the experienti al Freelancer Professional Program might he better suited to qualify me for a professional certificate . Then you graciously advised me to take more time to further review the 200 pages of MIR 's Website, and to deeply ponder/pray about what I truly wanted for myself. You encouraged me to wait for my iMer intuitive answer that would surely come with such an effort. I took that advice to heart. The following Monday I found my C0111Cience and enrolled in the Home Study Course. JUlt one week later UPS delivered three big boxes. I wu overwhelmed and bepn trembling with excitement. Zach. this is an outstanding coune that I would recommend to anyone who bu set high expectations for their education .

MIR is out there on the front lines making it possible for their students to have access to 21st century science.

"Eunict: Ingham Stopfel was my teacher; both through her book Stories the Fee l Can Tell (1965 edition, see photo to lefl) and at her training seminar inside the Brown Palace Hotel, Denver, CO, 1967," relayed Zachary Brinkerhoff. "She was very thorough and helpful in the classroom setting; she was always assisted by her faithful husband Fred Stopfel; who literally adored her and attended to her every demand. When I was having difficulty finding the pituitary point with my thumb on the great toe, she place a pencil in my hand; then progressed to show me how to use the ERASER as a PROBE. 'There, isn't that mu ch easier?' she exclaimed. 'May I urge you to remember, if at first you don't succeed, try. lly again . Do no/ discredit Zone Therapy because you do not get immediate results; no sooner than you would expect to play s11ccessfully on the piano without first a knowledge of the proper chords and where and how to place the thumb and fingers on the respective notes to produce the harmony desired.' 'Do no/ feel discouraged or discount any one method because it fails to give relief in every condition; even the medical profession with all its skill and learning is compelled lo acknowledge defeat in some cases. let us all manifest a spirit of meekness and admit that we are only an instrument for good in the healing art; and when a patient comes to us for help, if the condition is one that can be relieved by some drugless method, more power lo us if we are proficient in the various forms of such, that we can administer that which is fitted for the particular case under our care and attention. Remember no one method is complete in itself for the relief of every patient. 'When an adjustment of some vertebra is necessary to relieve a particular nerve impingement, see that the patient is given the _ attention of a physician skilled in that particular art of healing. If surgery is required, as we all know to be true in some cases, see that the patient is given the care of a surgeon, the best that can be had for his particular case.' (Zone Therapy: Its Application to the Glands & Kindred Ailments, by Eunice D. Ingham, copyright 1945.) "I was impressed. I never forgot my lesson in creative thinking. Eunice taught me lo think outside the lines and I have been utilizing and developing unique tools and instrumentation to assist in reflex stimulus ever since.

GREEN PASTURES ofPulm23 We are so prone to feel that what is wrong in our life is not in ourselves, but in the external setting of our lives . Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick said in a radio sennon, 'Not all th e water in the seven seas can sink a ship unless It gets inside.' It is from within, the desire we have to get well in terms of hope, vision and courage, that will influence the functioning of our glands . We try to fool ourselves and place the blame for our illness on external things, on the pastures where we happen to be feeding . Instead, it is what we cause to happen in the functioning of our glands within the body, through the type of thinking we have done, that will make the pastures grow greener; and not something on the outside, barring accident. Let us then look for the green pastures right where we live, move and have our being. For the green putura are within ourselves, in our way of thinking, our mode oflife. TI1elC are the green pastures where David the Psalmilll uid, 'He maket/r me to lie down. ' That continued success may attend your efforts, both now and in the years to follow , is my sincere desire. Faithfully yours, EUNICE INGHAM STOPFEL (Zone Therapy & Gland Reflexes Revised, I 95 I.) Zachary wants to acknowledge the inspiration that Dr. Eunice Ingham Stopfel, DR, has been to him to this very clay. It i, his wish that he and the staff at M.I.R. can pus that enthusium for reflexology (that so stirred Dr. Stopfel) on to you.

Staff discussed the status of these projects with City Council at the December 13, 2004 Study Session. RECOMMENDED ACTION Public Works is requesting Council approval of a Resolution authorizing f.nglewood's applications to the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) for the following three projects: • Bike/Pedestrian Bridge over the Platte River at Dartmouth Avenue • Bike/Pedestrian Bridge over the Platte River at the Englewood Golf Course • South Broadway Streetscape from Tufts to Belleview These three projects were previously submitted in 2003, but not included in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED Applications for Federal Transportation Funds are solicited by the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) every two years. This application requests funding for years 2007-2012 . Projects must implement the improvements contained in the 2020 Regional Transportation Plan and meet the specific eligibility requirements for the funding category requested . Projects require a minimum of 20% in local matching funds. DRCOG, in cooper13tio n with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), is charged with preparation of the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). TIP prioritizes regional projects for Federal Transportation Funds available through the uSafe Accountable Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Act-Legacy for Users" (SAFTEA-LU). Congress adopted this program in August, 2005 to replace the former Transportation Efficiency Act of the 21" Century (TEA-21 ). These three projects were applied for in the previous TIP cycle for 2005-2010, but were scored below the cut-off for funding. DRCOG requires a re-submittal for the projects to reaffirm our local matching funds . • • DRCOG and COOT have stated that they are committed to funding the South Broadway Streetscape Project. We are including this project in our application to insure it is not dropped. (. The Bike/Pedestrian Bridge at Dartmouth scored just below the funding level in the previous TIP Cycle and is on the approved waiting list. We are hopeful that this project will move forward and be included in the 2007-2012 TIP . Englewood has received approximately $1,400,000 in Federal Funds through ISTEA since 2003 for three sidewalk projects, one bike trail, and one traffic signal project FINANCIAL IMPACT Cost breakdowns for the projects are as follows: ~ Bridge over Platte River at Dartmouth Avenue Bridge over Platte River at Englewood Golf ~ourse South Broadway Streetscape from Tufts to Belleview Total Cost $670,000 $724,000 $968,000 Local Match $235,000 $144,800 $269,000 Local matching funds for the Bridge at Dartmouth Avenue are available in the Open Space Fund. Matching funds for the Bridge at the Golf Course could be available in the Open Space Fund. Matching funds for the South Broadway Streetscape are budgeted in the City's Multi-Year Capital Fund .

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION Date : Agenda Item : Subject: Sep tember 19, 2005 East Tank Repair of the South Clarkson Reservoir Initiated By: Staff Source: Utilities D epartment Stewart H . Fonda, D irector of Utilities COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION On August 21, 2000, Council approved the roof rehabilitation of the 6-million-gallon reservoir by A BCO Contract ing in the amount of $77 ,3 2 5. On November 4, 2004, Council approved the bid award for tank repairs of the two Clarkson Street 3-million-gallon reservoirs by RN C ivil Construction in the amount of $201 ,173 . RECOMMENDED ACTION At th ei r Sept ember 13 , 2005, meeting. the Englewood Water and Se w er Board recommended C oun c il approv e, · S... 3-millio ........ altal,215. BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED Construc tion o n th e eas t Clarkson Street 3-million-gallo n cov ered reservoir, localed two blocks east o f th e inter-sec tion o f Clarkson and Sunset Ridge in the City of Greenwood Village, was started in 1952 as d w at er st o rag e facility for tr eated w aler for the City of Englewood. The tanks prov ide fire protec t io n and bac k-u p w ater during power outages for Englewood's Zone 1, which encom~es 60% of the City. The east storage reservoi r was p revio usly overha uled in 1993. St orage reservoir maintenance mandates a thornugh inspec tion every five years . In January 2003, CDM did an e,ct ensive inspect- tion of the two 3-million·gallon tanks, res ulting in repairs on the east tank roof slab. CDM has also recomme nded that the concre te roof and ven ting be repaired on the west tank and the vat.es and ha tches be replaced on both tanks . The concrete on these tanks has deteriorated, and if left unrepaired, will become more extensive. West tank roof slab was repaired in 2004 and valves ,, ere replaced in 2004. The work will include repai ring c racks i n th e base slab, removing and installing portions of a new roof slab, repai ring e,cpansion joints, applyi ng roof seale r, replacing two access hatches, ladder and grating ins talla tion and repairing concre te columns on the eas t tank. Replacement of the altitude valve with a butterfl valve is required in order to isolate the two 3 mg reservoirs from the one 6 mg reser\-oi r and miscellaneous painting. ' • • Requests for Bid were received from five ven.dors for the east Clarkson Street Reservoir Roof and Valve Modifications. One response was received: Premier Spec. Contractors $261,285 John Rehring of CDM reviewed the bids and recommends Premier Spec. Contractors be awarded the contract in the amount of $261,285. FINANCIAL IMPACT The engineers estimate was $265,000. The original 2005 budgeted amount was $150,000 based on estimates from a 2003 report. A bid opening was held September 1, 2005, and Premier Spec. Contractors was the lowest, acceptable bidder in the amount of $261,285. Extra funds are available in the Utilities' fund balance; $300,000 is available because the storage tank modifications that were budgeted for the Zuni and Sherman water tanks are not necessary and the pump valve and actuator replacement project bid was $60,000 less than what was budgeted.

COM completed a brief review of the one bid received from Premier Specialty Contractors, Inc. for the above referenced project. This letter lists the actions taken to complete this review. COM completed the following items to evaluate this firm's capability to complete this prqect: • Evaluated the copy of the bid documents submitted to the Qty of Englewood on September 1, 2005. • Verified the total from the Bid lte1n1 equal.a the Total Bate Bid amount. • Contacted each ol the three references listed. • Discussed the bid amount with Premier Specialty Contractors, Inc. The bid package included the required Bid Bond and reference information. Based on the evaluation of the bid form received, it is our opinion that Prmder Spedalty Contractors, Inc. submitted a responsive bid. One minor arithmetic error wu found in Bid Item no. 7, which increased the Total Bue Bid by $600.00 to $261,885.00. The following summarizes the findings from discussions with the three listed referelas: • Two Owners and two Contractors used u references provided positive feedback an Premier Specialty Contractors, Inc. and Kent Cottle. ,.,. . ._.,.,.------~-·-·-..................... ___ __ t ... .. • • Mr. Bill McCormick September 8, 2005 Page2 • Premier Spedalty Contracton, Inc. has been In business for about 48 years.

They completed a $20,400 project for the Oty of Thornton in 2004. • The projects referenced were all completed on a schedule to the Owner's and Contractor's satisfaction. • Both Ownen, i.e. Breckenridge Sanitation and Oty of Thornton. would me the services of Premier Specialty Contractors, Inc. again. In fact. both have already used them for additional contracts. • Premier Specialty Contractors, Inc. was a subcontractor to Stanek Constructors on a Sl 14,400 contract for Mesa WTP concrete repairs (project completed in March 2005). Stanek was very satisfied with the specialiud concrete repair work done by Premier Specialty Contactors. • Premier Specialty Contrac:tors, Inc. was a suba>ntractor to Western Summit Construction on a $34.500 contract for Capital Hill Basin No. 2 (project c:ompJellld in March 200t). Western Summit was satisfied with the concrete ,ea1ing work performed by Premier Specialty Contactors. As part of this evaluation, COM completed the attached Bid Evaluation <J,ecklilt and noll!d the items that are applicable to this project. Allo, prior to the bid opening, COM' 1 Gary Grimes completed an opinion of probable construction cost for the Clarkson Street Relervoir Improvement Project. Thia estimate (a copy ii attached) tr>taled $265,119.00 and ii therefore comparable to the bid received by Premier Specialty Contractors, Inc.

Initiated By: Staff Source: Utilities Department Stewart H . Fonda, Director of Utilities COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION None. RECOMMENDED ACTION The Utilities staff recommends Council approve,~AiQligp,Jl}e~d.fQr~Sra\CIU.Discharge Pump Valve and Actuator Replacement to Genesee ·suifders~ Inc. In lfie amount of $188)00. BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED ( In 1980 the Allen Filter Plant high lift pumps were upgraded and installed to meet requirements for a pump to stop and start against a closed valve, a system that was initially installed by PARCO. This system has a large hydraulic oil tank and air pressure tank with individual lines running 7 high-lift pumps. Due to aging equipment, there are increasingly imminent chances of a hydraulic leak occurring and contaminating the clear well, necessitating a system replacement. Valves are wearing out and not sealin& which can cause the pumps to run backwards, which in turn would refill the clearwell and potentially cause flooding. ( The proposed system will incorporate new valves and an actuator system that will be a combination of electric and hydraulic actuators that uses a small quantity of food-grade oil that will be self.contained on eac h actuator, minimizing a clear well contamination if a leak should occur. The proposed system w ill incorporate seven high-lift pump valves and actuators in the pump room at the Allen Filter Plant.
