Ski Bum Carves Out Opportunities for the Disabled
March 11, 2008 12:17 PM
When the National Sports Center for the Disabled opened at the Winter Park resort in 1970, it didn't get an office with a mountain view -- or even a window. Founder Hal O'Leary worked in a broom closet, organizing ski lessons for children and adults with disabilities. Now 70 years old, he's still helping people sweep down the mountain and he's built the center into a global force in disabled athletics. The center's full-time instructors teach more than 30 thousand lessons annually and help train most of the U.S. disabled ski team's members. Nancy Greenleese has the profile of a ski bum who has carved out new opportunities for the disabled.

Plans for Spring's New Skate Park
December 4, 2007 5:46 PM
Trinidad, Colorado, population 10,000, has a world renowned skate park, rated in pro-skateboarder Tony Hawk's top ten. So why, many skaters wonder, does Colorado Springs, with over 35 times as many people, lack a professionally built skate park? Well, that's set to change. The city is planning a new 40,000 sq foot skate park, and this one will be built by people who know what they're doing. Colorado College student Kate Dawson has this report on what people want.

Federal officials say that in the next decade, about 12 thousand new natural gas wells will be drilled in the San Juan Basin of southwestern Colorado. A two-state task force is developing strategies to keep all the new energy development, plus a growing population, from making air quality in the area worse.

Preble's Mouse Still On Endangered Species List in Colorado
November 1, 2007 6:10 PM
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has reversed its controversial assessment of the Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse, and now says it deserves protection under the federal endangered species act. That's bad news for developers, who say federal protection of Prebles habitat along the Front Range is costing them billions of dollars in lost opportunities. Two years ago, Fish and Wildlife said new research proved that the mouse was so genetically similar to other, more common mice, that it could be removed from the endangered species list. That decision brought criticism from some rodent scientists, and now the agency is reversing its decision.

Kids of Deployed Troops Get Their Own Summer Camp
August 2, 2007 5:18 PM
With U.S. Troop deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan now well into its
fifth year, American military families are being stretched to their
limits. Tens of thousands of troops have already done two yearlong
combat tours, many have done three. Long deployments to dangerous places
can be especially hard on children of soldiers. A national program aims
to give these kids a chance to take a week off from their worries at
special summer camps for military kids only. Last week, we visited the
first one in Colorado.

And if you're not careful, you might just run into someone at a cocktail party who has made it their personal quest to climb each one - worst case scenario is they'll have pictures or even a video handy. But one Fourteener-head from Aspen is running into trouble trying screen his home movie about climbing and skiing all of Colorado's big, gnarly mountains. The Forest Service says he needs a permit to do so, and won't give it to him. Aspen Public Radio's Kirk Siegler has the story. [LISTEN] []
