Soldiers with the 4th Engineer Battalion’s Headquarters and Headquarters Company, Forward Support Company, 62nd Sapper Company and the 569th and 576th Mobility Augmentation Companies will deploy later this month to provide route-clearance operations for Multi-National Division — Baghdad. “This is no easy task, but I will tell you the battalion is ready and able to complete its mission,” Col. Edward M. Daly, 43rd Sustainment Brigade com- mander, told Family and friends attending the casing ceremony. “They are trained; they are ready. There is no doubt they are going to lead from the front.” The colonel noted soldiering is a tough business, one that takes a toll on loved ones. “I know it can be very lonely,” Daly told the Families. He reassured them that “the service and sacrifice of the American Families is vital to the success Lt. Col. Kevin Landers, left foreground, 4th Engineer Battalion commander, and Command Sgt. Maj.

  • Suicide Stuns Discovery Canyon Again
    Suicide stuns Discovery Canyon again Young Life leaders provide support, but critics question Christian group’s connection BY DEBBIE KELLEY [email protected] — CAROL LAWRENCE, THE GAZETTE Young Life staff associate Jessica Mycoskie, center in black jacket, says a prayer with students and parents Thursday while remembering a Discovery Canyon Campus student who took his life this past weekend. Young Life representatives handed out hot chocolate and helped the students cope. Another family from Discovery Canyon Campus will bury their child on Saturday, one week after he took his life. Henry Rodriguez, in the backstretch of his junior year of high school, was a gregarious guy, say those who knew him. A rugby player and outdoors lover, the 16‐year‐old had no qualms about crowd surfing — having his body jutted over many outstretched arms — or eating a raw sweet potato, just because. “I was confused more than anything,” Matt Chaudhary, a junior at Discovery Canyon Campus in northern Colorado Springs said Thursday about the death. “Henry was always the strongest kid I knew. Strong mentally, physically, spiritually. It was really hard news.” Although The Gazette does not typically name those who commit suicide, Henry was the sixth Discovery Canyon Campus student to commit suicide in the past 13 months. And at least half, including Henry, were involved with Young Life. CAROL LAWRENCE, THE GAZETTE The nondenominational worldwide Christian youth organization was founded in Six Discovery Canyon Campus students have committed suicide in the last 13 months. At least half, including the most recent this past 1941 and is based in Colorado Springs.

  • 2010 High School Graduates Enrolling in Colorado Public Higher Education in Fall Term 2010
    2010 High School Graduates Enrolling in Colorado Public Higher Education in Fall Term 2010 Summary Following C.R.S. 23-5-127 and beginning in Fall term 2010, the SASID (State Assigned Student Identifier ) began being collected in higher education enrollment data. From this point forward, a direct link exists between student history in K-12 and enrollment in public higher education in Colorado. This report summarizes a high school graduating class and their enrollment in higher education. Of the 2010 high school graduates, 46.3% enrolled in a public or reporting private institution in the state. The majority of these students (64.7%) enrolled in a four year public institution. The majority of the students enrolling in higher education were also female (53.0%) and White, non-Hispanic (64.0%). Source of Data Colorado Department of Education (CDE) High School Graduates, Spring 2010 and Department of Higher Education (DHE) Fall Term Enrollment, 2010 (SURDS) Data Limitations High school graduate file does not include late graduates, those graduating after May 2010 Higher education enrollment data collection is limited to public institutions and only a few private institutions. Enrollment in colleges out-of-state or the majority of in-state private, vocational or occupational colleges is not included in this report. Student identifiers submitted to higher education data system are matched by the colleges and universities using a matching process on several student characteristics. This matching process yields, on average, a 90 percent match. The remaining percentage would be included in enrollment data, but would not able to be matched to the high school graduate file.
