J, Zecha The blessing and dedication of the new $8,500,000 Penrose Hospital, Colorado Springs, on Tuesday. Sept. 15, by Archbishop Urban J. Vehr climaxes more than 67 years of works of mercy and charity performed in Colorado Springs by the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati at the hospital. The beautiful hospital, which is one of the largest single Catholic building projeeta in the history of the state, is dignified in its design and embraces simplicity. It is situated at the north end of the city and faces Cascade Ave­ nue. in the 2200 Mock, between Madison and Jackson Streets. Formerly known is the Glockner Penrose Hospital, it has been staffed by the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati since April 1, 1892. The new hospital replaces an older structure, part of which is the original tuberculosis sanatorium founded in 1889 as a private institution without any religious affiliation by Marie Wynne Utockner Crotty, who launched the InstituUon at the request of her husband, Albert Glockner, who died of tuber­ culosis as a young man. 12‘Story, 325~Bed Instilufion The addition of the name Penrose was made in 1947 as a tribute to the beneficence of Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Penrose, founders of the El Pomar Foundation. The new structure, known simply as Penrose Hospital, is a 12-story, 325-bed institution. (A penthouse seclion occupies what would be a 13lh floor.) It was designed by Fisher, Fisher, and Davis of Denver. Lembke. Clough & King of Albuquerque, N. Mex., and Colorado Springs were the construction con­ tractors. The cost of more than ^,500,000 includes construction and complete furnishings. The ultra-modern building embraces completeness and flexibility, and has been constructed to provide the most mod­ ern scientific advances in medical and nursing facilities. The new hospital has a dark red brick base, white stone facing, aluminum windows, and horizontal brick spandrels between floors. It harmonizes with the existing Cancer Pavilion, formerly known as the Penrose Cancer Clinic, and the Margery Reed Memorial Nurses' Home, which adjoin it. The painting of the rooms on individual floors has been given precise care with colors emphasizing a tight and “cheerful look." Mouittoxns Provide Bacirground Pike’s Peak and a mountain range provide a thrilling back­ ground for the hospital. The Corpus Christi Parish plant, on the opposite side of Cascade Avenue, adds to the beauty of the area. Entering the front doors of the Penrose Hospital through an impressive archway, one is immediately struck by the beauty of the foyer abd main lobby. The traditional "Institution look" cannot be found at Penrose. The only so-called decorations in the entire hospital are found in the main lobby. They are the striking liturgical screens, hand made by Edgar Britton of Colorado Springs, who also' b responsible for the beautiful crucifix that adorns an outside wall of the hospital. They are Beiutlful crucifix dominates southwest facade of Penrose Hospital. called the “faith and hope” screens, showing the outstanding implements of the Passion of Christ. "Faith" signifies the faith of the patient when he enters the hospital and “hope" expresses the hope of recovery. Two pictures of Mr. and Mrs. Penrose’ in the lobby are the only wall decorations in the hospital. Besides the lobby, the first floor of the new building in­ cludes reception desk, gift shop, public waiting rooms, admission offices, four interviewing rooms, complete administrative and business offices, private office of Sister Cyril, administrator of the hospital; the medical staff room, dietary unit, emergency room, cafeteria, a complete kitchen, and the education wing (with rooms for resident doctors extending to the second floor —four apartments for married doctors and 11 single unit doctw rooms); a library and a reading room.

    The Art of Quotation. Forms and Themes of the Art Quote, 1990–2010. An Essay Nina Heydemann, Abu Dhabi I. Introduction A “Japanese” Mona Lisa? An “improved” Goya? A “murdered” Warhol? In 1998, the Japanese artist Yasumasa Morimura staged himself as Mona Lisa.1 Five years later, the British sibling duo Jake and Dinos Chapman ‘rectified’ Francisco de Goya’s etching series „The Disas- ters of War“ by overpainting the figures with comic faces.2 In 2007, Richard Prince spoke about his intention in the 1990s of having wanted to murder Andy Warhol.3 What is it in artists and artworks from the past that prompts so many diverse reactions in contempo- rary art today? In which forms do contemporary artists refer to older works of art? And what themes do they address with them? This paper is an extract of a dissertation that deals with exactly these questions and analyses forms and themes of art quotes.4 Many 1 In the series „Mona Lisa – In Its Origin, In Pregnancy, In The Third Place“ Yasumasa Morimura raised questions of his Japanese identity and hybrid sexuality based on Leonardo da Vinci’s masterwork. 2 Jake Chapman quoted in the Guardian: "We always had the intention of rectifying it, to take that nice word from The Shining, when the butler's trying to encourage Jack Nicholson to kill his family – to rectify the situation".

  • 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.

  • FUN FACTS from the BROADMOOR • Count James
    FUN FACTS FROM THE BROADMOOR • Count James Pourtales, being a man of vision who developed the concept of building a casino on the property that is now called The BROADMOOR, came to the United States from Prussia. • Pourtales built Cheyenne Lake to enhance the beauty of the land but fourteen days later the lake mysteriously emptied itself, so at great expense the excavation was filled with clay. Today, the lake remains one of The BROADMOOR’s most enduring features. • Spencer Penrose made his vast fortune in real estate, gold mining and ore processing in nearby Cripple Creek, Colorado and Bingham Canyon, Utah. Penrose also developed a foundry for ore extraction from his copper mines in Utah. • The name Broadmoor was in use by the late 1800’s and was unusable. This issue was resolved by raising the “a” in Broadmoor, thus making the name unique and it was copyrighted. (There is also “urban legend” to this story that surrounds Penrose riding his horse into the lobby of the Antlers hotel, owned by General Palmer’s estate, and offered to purchase it. He was declined. The legend goes that he raised the “a” as a putdown to the Antlers.) • The New York firm Warren and Wetmore designed The BROADMOOR, the same architects that designed Grand Central Station. • Frederick Law Olmsted’s firm, most famous for designing Central Park, designed The Broadmoor’s grounds • The friezes that decorate the exterior of The BROADMOOR were designed and executed by famous artist Paul Deneville. • On the Mezzanine of the Main Building, in the Center Lounge, see if you can spot the intentional error in the man dancing on the ceiling—look at his feet! • When The Broadmoor was being constructed, gold tailings from the processed ore from Cripple Creek was used in making the cement for the main structure of The Broadmoor.
