Nov 20, 2009 - Colorado Springs Community Investment Campaign Earlier this month, Colorado Springs voters sent a strong message and overwhelmingly said no to a property tax increase. Now, city leaders are challenging taxpayers, business leaders and even high school students to help save some city services and programs that are set to be cut. Colorado Springs City Council member Darryl Glenn announced Thursday the kick-off of a community fund-raising initiative in support of the proposed service reductions in park and recreation and transit services. "We're trying to create a new revenue stream because the pressure on the general fund is beyond this year. You're looking at next year and the year after with some of the same fiscal challenges. This is an opportunity for people who want to contribute, they can do that," said City Council member Darryl Glenn. Colorado Springs residents have varied responses to the campaign. "I think that, asking people to donate to thing that are part of the community that we've already paid taxes for... is kind of hard," said Jennifer Thayer. "I would love to be able to give money to the city to keep the parks open and keep more police on the streets to stay safe," said Tom Andrew. Donations should be payable to the Pikes Peak Community Foundation for the benefit of the "MY Community Investment Campaign." Donors are encouraged to specify whether their donation is for the benefit of Park and Recreation, Transit or a specific program within the Department of Parks and Recreation and Transit. How to Donate: On-line: http://www.ppcf.org Mail: Pikes Peak Community Foundation 730 N. Nevada Avenue Colorado Springs, CO 80903 For more information, call 389-1251 http://www.ppcf.org |

Nov 17, 2009 - National Memory Screening Day - Free Memory Screenings The incidence of Alzheimer’s disease is rising dramatically as the American population ages. In the US, the number of people aged 85 and older will rise two-fold, to 8.9 million. Age is the greatest known risk factor for Alzheimer's Disease. The Alzheimer's Foundation's "National Memory Screening Day" offers free, confidential memory screenings at community sites nationwide, including in southern Colorado. The CU Aging Center will be offering a brief screen of memory and psychological functioning at the Center from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on November 17, 2009. Time requirement is about 30 minutes and personalized feedback (and recommendations, if necessary) will be provided by a licensed psychologist. The CU Aging Center is located at 1436 N. Hancock Ave. Phone contact is (719) 471-4884. A screening also will be held inside the K-Mart store in the pharmacy department at 3020 N. Nevada Street, Colorado Springs, Colorado, 80907. The Time of the Screening: 9:00AM-1:00PM Phone Number: 719-473-3822 Experts say if you have memory concerns, burying your head in the sand doesn't help you or your family. It's important to be proactive, and screenings are a great starting point to find out what is really going on and can lead to the care you might need—and the support your family might need. For more information see the local link: http://www.uccs.edu/~agingcenter/index.html Also, for information on the national effort to raise Alzheimer's awareness, and help people get the help they need earlier than later, click on the link below. http://nationalmemoryscreening.org |

The Summit County Rescue Group were able to locate and fly the victim to a hospital, but the accident just serves as another reminder about the dangers of avalanches, even early in the ski season. Already this season slides have been reported in Rocky Mountain National Park and on Independence, Loveland and Jones passes.
