  • 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.

  • 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.
