FOX31 confronts dentists with a dark side

Wednesday, November 7th, 2012, 4:38pm

DENVER — A Denver dentist accused of re-using dirty needles on 8,000 patients and practicing while high on prescription drugs may not be the only dentist with a dark side operating in Colorado.

A review of public complaints against Metro Denver dentists has uncovered a disturbing trend whereby dentists with suspended licenses or questionable backgrounds are still practicing medicine, and the state is doing little to stop them, a FOX31 investigation has found.

The complaints list includes Dr. Stephen Stein, who made headlines in Colorado when authorities discovered he had been reusing needles — potentially exposing some 8,000 patients.

Leopard suspected of eating 15 people in Nepal

Kathmandu, Nepal (CNN) — A ferocious leopard may have killed 15 people in Nepal in a 15-month span, its latest victim a 4-year-old boy that the creature dragged away into the jungle to eat.

The head of boy was found in the forest a kilometer from his home Saturday morning, said Kamal Prasad Kharel, the police chief of the Baitadi district, an area about 600 kilometers (373 miles) west of Kathmandu.

The grisly discovery, which came after teams of people searched for the child, marks the 15th victim in the past 15 months in that remote district in western Nepal.

The police chief suspects that a single man-eating leopard is responsible for the deaths. If not, there are at most two of the man-eating creatures around, he believes.

CASTLE ROCK, Colo. — Even on the darkest of days, there is a ray of sunshine and a ray of hope at the Sunshine Seven Ranch in Castle Rock.

Curtis and Emily Graves are opening their ranch and sharing their story to help others in the community who are suffering from tragedies like they have.

The ranch is named for the seven family members Curtis and Emily have lost in tragic car crashes. Curtis lost his wife and three teenage children in a multi-car pile-up during a blizzard in Wyoming in 2006.

Emily lost her husband and two of her four daughters in a freak car crash in Idaho in 2008.

Emily said, “what I miss most is the memories we didn’t get to have. My girls were still quite little. The pictures don`t ever change. I just miss them. I miss touching them and kissing them and seeing them and loving them and what could have been, what they would be doing now.”

Superstorm strands Colorado high school students in NYC

Sandy’s wrath left some Colorado high school students stranded in New York City.

Two area high schools competed in an international mock trial competition that ended Sunday.

But while the competition is over, the Big Apple isn’t done with them yet.

The monster storm shut down the flights for seven students and three chaperones from Rock Canyon High School in Highlands Ranch and nine students and two chaperones from Glenwood Springs High on the Western Slope.

They can talk a good game.

They even walked away with trophies.

But their words proved powerless against a superstorm of historic proportions.

“We were supposed to come home yesterday (Monday) afternoon. Now, all the airports are closed. We hope to get out by early Thursday morning,” says Glenwood Springs student Andrew Schied during a group interview on Skype.
