  • El Paso County Community Assets for Youth Development Introduction
    El Paso County Community Assets for Youth Development Introduction The number of suicides among youth under age 18 in El Paso County has increased in recent years; 7 in 2014, 14 in 2015 and 15 in 2016. El Paso County Public Health aims to address this issue by focusing on prevention and early intervention efforts in the community. These efforts often focus on promoting protective factors. A protective factor is defined as something that can lower the likelihood of a negative health outcome. Protective factors such as connectedness, resiliency, problem-solving skills, conflict resolution, and non-violent ways of handling disputes, can protect youth from suicidal thoughts and behaviors. This document identifies assets in our community including collaborations, programming and resources that promote protective factors for youth. This is a living document. Any agency or service listed here is not necessarily endorsed by El Paso County Public Health, but is provided solely as a resource for public and community partners.

  • RMFI Annual Report 2020
    Rocky Mountain Field Institute 2020 Community Impact report Photo by Riley de Ryk Letter FROM The Director Dear Friends and Supporters of RMFI, It goes without saying that 2020 was a year like no other. Yet, despite all of the challenges we, and the rest of the world, had to overcome, we, above all else, remained grateful. Grateful that we were still able to operate; grateful that we were able to employ nearly 30 people and do so safely; grateful that so many sought and relied on nature for mental, physical, and emotional well-being; and grateful that we accomplished incredibly impactful stewardship projects at a time when our public lands needed them most. We could not have accomplished all that we did without your generosity, support, and steadfast commitment to RMFI. We sincerely appreciate each and every one of you who collectively make the work that we do possible. Thank you. When the pandemic hit in March 2020, we were faced with tremendous uncertainty as to whether we’d even be able to have a field season. But, the more we spoke with our key land management partners, the more it became clear they needed our staff and our expertise out on the ground. We immediately set out to develop COVID-19 operating procedures and guidelines to keep our staff and community safe and then got to work. Slowly, we began introducing volunteer opportunities into our schedule and when it was all said and done, we ended up having the biggest and most impactful season to date. Some important project highlights and accomplishments include finishing a new

  • The Enemy in Colorado: German Prisoners of War, 1943-46
    The Enemy in Colorado: German Prisoners of War, 1943-46 BY ALLEN W. PASCHAL On 7 December 1941 , the day that would "live in infamy," the United States became directly involved in World War II. Many events and deeds, heroic or not, have been preserved as historic reminders of that presence in the world conflict. The imprisonment of American sol­ diers captured in combat was a postwar curiosity to many Americans. Their survival, living conditions, and treatment by the Germans became major considerations in intensive and highly publicized investigations. However, the issue of German prisoners of war (POWs) interned within the United States has been consistently overlooked. The internment centers for the POWs were located throughout the United States, with different criteria determining the locations of the camps. The first camps were extensions of large military bases where security was more easily accomplished. When the German prisoners proved to be more docile than originally believed, the camps were moved to new locations . The need for laborers most specifically dic­ tated the locations of the camps. The manpower that was available for needs other than the armed forces and the war industries was insuffi­ cient, and Colorado, in particular, had a large agricultural industry that desperately needed workers. German prisoners filled this void. There were forty-eight POW camps in Colorado between 1943 and 1946.1 Three of these were major base camps, capable of handling large numbers of prisoners. The remaining forty-five were agricultural or other work-related camps . The major base camps in Colorado were at Colorado Springs, Trinidad, and Greeley.
