     Flying High
     http://www.alle-kiskitoday.com/articles/1832
     
     Extracurricular activities such as sports and music are  worth
     more  than  the  mere particulars of a given activity.  Within
     these  exiting programs youth gain essential life  skills  and
     hone  their character. These practices cultivate in them  such
     admirable qualities as diligence, perseverance, mental  focus,
     and  even  humility. Such labors rarely go  unrewarded.  Those
     that work the hardest, last the longest, and overcome the most
     are  often  singly and publicly praised for their efforts  and
     performance. Read the story online and watch the video.

     History of the American West

     Over  30,000  photographs,  drawn from  the  holdings  of  the
     Western  History  and Genealogy Department  at  Denver  Public
     Library,  illuminate  many  aspects  of  the  history  of  the
     American West. Most of the photographs were taken between 1860
     and  1920.  They  illustrate  Colorado  towns  and  landscape,
     document  the  place of mining in the history of Colorado  and
     the  West,  and show the lives of Native Americans  from  more
     than  forty tribes living west of the Mississippi River.  Also

     Division,  ski  troops based in Colorado  who  saw  action  in
     Italy.
