Pictured: Moment singer George Michael was airlifted to hospital following rush-hour crash on the M1 in new road drama
- The M1 near St Albans, Herts, was closed for an hour and the air ambulance took him to hospital
- The 49-year-old was a passenger in a Range Rover when it crashed
- Crash happened on the M1 near the junction for the M25 at 5.50pm last night
- He was airlifted to a specialist trauma centre with a suspected head injury
- Singer is still in hospital receiving treatment for 'cuts and bruises'
George Michael is used to delivering show-stopping performances when he takes to the stage.
But on Thursday, the stage was the M1 near St Albans, Hertfordshire, which was closed after the singer was involved in a crash in his Range Rover during rush hour.
Michael was recovering last night after being airlifted to hospital with a head injury following the accident.
Worry: The M1 is brought to a standstill as George Michael is checked after a crash in his Range Rover
An ambulance crew was so concerned at
the 49-year-old's condition that a helicopter was summoned, and the
motorway was closed for half an hour while it landed to take Michael
Although the ambulance service said he suffered a head injury, Michael was well enough to be discharged from hospital last night.
No other vehicle was involved in the incident, which happened just before 6pm near the junction with the M25.
His spokesman Connie Filippello said: 'George Michael was a passenger in a vehicle involved in a traffic accident, no third party was involved. He is being treated for superficial cuts and bruises but is fine. We have no further comment at this time.'
Singer George Michael, pictured ahead of his sentencing for driving under the influence of drugs at Highbury magistrates court, was injured in a car crash last night
The singer, who has enjoyed a successful solo career since finding fame in the 1980s duo Wham!, is banned from driving.
Three years ago he was jailed for eight weeks for crashing a Range Rover into a shop in north London while under the influence of drugs.
In July 2010 George Michael famously crashed his Range Rover into a shop in north London.
the following September he received an eight-week prison sentence.
He was also given a five-year driving ban after he pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of drugs and possessing cannabis.
The star had earlier been banned from driving for two years and sentenced to 100 hours of community service in 2006.
He had been convicted of driving while unfit through drugs after he was found collapsed in his Mercedes.
He was also disqualified from driving for five years, having served a two-year ban imposed in 2006 when he was convicted of driving while on drugs after being found slumped in his Mercedes.
Speaking at the singer's home in Highgate, North London, last night, Michael's boyfriend Fadi Fawaz, 39, said: 'He is perfectly fine. Of course I was worried, but I have spoken to him and he is good.
'He suffered a few bruises but there is nothing to worry about. I have no idea what happened, I wasn't there.'
Hertfordshire Police said: 'The exact circumstances of what happened are unclear at this time, and until further investigations have been carried out it would be inappropriate for us to comment further.'
An East of England Ambulance Service spokesman said that a 49-year-old man 'sustained a head injury and following treatment, stabilisation and immobilisation by land and air ambulance crews, he was flown to hospital for further care'.
Only 18 months ago, Michael – real name Georgios Panayiotou – spent a month fighting for his life in an Austrian hospital after a severe bout of pneumonia. He fell ill while preparing for a concert in Vienna, and needed a tracheotomy to keep him breathing when he slipped into a coma.
The singer, pictured performing on his Symphonica: The Orchestral Tour, is still being treated in hospital for 'minor cuts and bruises'

Brand New Group Classes!
Announcing a brand new partnership, one that I am VERY excited to tell you about!
Starting in August, I will be teaching Introduction to Drop Spindle Spinning to small groups at the most wonderful Neighborhood Fiber Company. [who, by the way, are celebrating TEN years of being in business! More about that in a moment.]
These classes are small group classes that feature my highly successful, tried-and-true curriculum that has made the more doubtful spinning newbie into a budding fiber artist. Your class fee covers three hours of instruction, plus a drop spindle and fiber – everything you need to get started spinning a lovely yarn! More info and the sign-up page is here: http://neighborhood-fiber-co.myshopify.com/products/intro-to-drop-spindle-spinning?variant=22924995270
Also, I will be joining Karida and company at Neighborhood Fiber Company on July 23rd, 2016, for their big ten year anniversary party, where I will be demonstrating spindle spinning and answering your questions about spinning. There will also be demos from Ann Weaver [steeking!], Astrid Albert [weaving], and Freda Mohr [crocheted jewelry], and Letta Moore [candle making]. And of course there will be refreshments and also custom/dyed to order yarns as well as previews of new colorways! Definitely stop by, it will be an amazing time. https://www.facebook.com/events/644674452351877
Book a One-on-One Class!
One on one classes are offered on an on-demand basis, within a selected schedule that offers options for weekday or weekend sessions. Small classes allow students may get the most out of their time with their teacher. Current class offerings are Intro to Spinning on a Spinning Wheel, or Spinning Textured Yarns. You may also purchase a block of time for open tutoring in any spinning subject; please make sure to specify what you are interested in when you book your class.
You have some options as to where classes can happen! I am currently a traveling teacher; I usually teach in coffee shops, Panera, or a comparable location. Drop me an email or call and we'll chat about places near you!
I use Appointy for booking classes online – if you have any questions or issues, please let me know. You will be asked to make an account, but it is free and easy. You can click on the button to the right to see the current schedule availability and choose a date, or you can click the button below to go to the Appointy page to do the same.
About rescheduling and cancellations:
Full refunds will be given for any classes cancelled by the instructor. Class sessions canceled due to weather conditions will be rescheduled.
Students who withdraw from a paid class more than 48 hours before the start of the class will receive full credit toward a future class. Students who cancel with less than 48 hours notice forfeit their class fee unless they reschedule. Rescheduling is encouraged; however, rescheduling a class with less than 24 hours notice will result in a $10 fee. I work hard to prepare for classes, so I encourage students to be prompt and treat their time accordingly. [as I will yours!]
Currently I have the option to schedule Intro to Spinning on a Drop Spindle and Intro to Spinning on a Wheel classes listed, as well as private classes that are designed to your needs. To develop a private class just for you, I encourage you to call or email Christiane to discuss your wishes.
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Phone: 443-991-6007
About the Introduction to Spinning on a Wheel Class:
I teach spinning with a spinning wheel using your wheel or mine; I provide fiber, and detailed instructions, book recommendations, and website references for students to take home. I spend time educating the students about the general history of spinning, and I explain the differences in fibers and preparation [and I bring a ton of various fibers as visual/textural reference]. I cover different styles of wheels and how to maintain one, and a bit about yarn construction – then I get the students spinning. I'll introduce plying and explain how to skein, measure, and set the twist in yarn. Students will leave with yarn that they can knit or crochet!
Upcoming Events!
Starting in 2016, you will be able to shop with Threeravens Fiber Studio at the Baltimore Farmers Market & Bazaar every month from April – December! We will be vending and demonstrating fiber arts during select dates throughout the market season. We are very honored and excited to be a part of the biggest farmers market in Baltimore!

This weekend, hundreds of bird enthusiasts flocked to a quiet southside Berkeley neighborhood to catch a glimpse of a beautiful North American breeding bird that has never before been sighted in Alameda County.
The colorful Painted Redstart was still in the Elmwood neighborhood this morning, flitting between three large trees located on three adjacent streets.

EXCLUSIVE – 'I have to protect the one thing I can't live without': Tony Stark shows his sensitive side as he opens up to Pepper Potts in Iron Man 3
Up until now he has been portrayed as the cool executive with a heart of steel.
But an exclusive clip from Iron Man 3 shows that Tony Stark, played by Robert Downey Jr, has a change of heart following the devastating events that occurred in The Avengers.
Realising that life will never be the same again, Tony's relationship with Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) steps up a notch as he reveals she is now his number one priority.
Scroll down for video
Struggle: Tony Stark turns to Pepper Potts for support in exclusive clip from Iron Man 3
Speaking in the emotional clip Tony says to Pepper: 'You experience things and they are over and you can't explain them.'
He continues: 'The only reason I haven't cracked up is probably because you moved in, which is great. I love you. I'm lucky.
'But honey I can't sleep. You go to bed and I come down here, I do what I know, I tinker. Threat is imminent and I have to protect the one thing I can't live without. That's you.'
Tough: Robert Downey Jr's character has a lot to come to terms with in the new film
Iron Man was last seen in the 2012 film The Avengers, when he teamed up with Captain America, the Hulk and Thor to stop Thor's adoptive brother Loki from subjugating Earth.
But fans of the Marvel films will know that things didn't go quite according to plan for the superheroes.
At the end of the film as they rallied in defence of New York City they soon realised they would be overwhelmed as wave after wave of Chitauri descended upon Earth.
The one thing: Tony tells Pepper that she is the one thing he can not live without
Vow: He tells her that all that matters now is protecting her
After intercepting a missile Stark's suit ran of power and he fell back through the portal but fortunately the Hulk saved him from crashing to the ground.
Now realising that the threat is so much bigger than he ever thought the exclusive clip shows a previously unseen sensitive side to Tony.
Unsurprisingly he is left traumatised by the events that happened in New York and opens up to Pepper about how he is feeling.
Understanding: Pepper embraces Tony offering him the support that he needs
Recognising that things will never be the same again he tells her that she's his number one priority and he needs to think about her now.
This is of course quite a change of heart from the Tony fans of the film are used to and a massive shifting point in their relationship.
And his vow to protect her couldn't have come at a better time as super villain The Mandarin, played by Ben Kingsley, threatens her and his best friend James Rhodes (Don Cheadle) as he unleashes a new campaign of terror.
Concerned: Pepper is moved by what Tony is telling her if not a little surprised by him being so open
Distressed: Tony is a far cry from his usual calm and collected self
Speaking at the recent London premier Robert told reporters he enjoyed wearing the Iron Man suit for the third film in the series.
'I can't say if wearing the (Iron Man) suit gets easier but... we had a great time. We shot most of this movie in North Carolina and we had the best summer there,' he added.
The 48-year-old actor has thus far refused to confirm if he will make another movie in the successful franchise but director Shane Black is confident Robert will return for at least one more outing as Tony Stark/Iron Man.
Iron Man 3 opens in UK cinemas on April 25 and in the US on May 3
No rest: He reveals he is unable to sleep while dealing with what has happened
Unexpected: Pepper is taken off guard by his sudden outpouring

Screwdisk makes some endorsements
FROM: Screwdisk, Senior Executive VP Sales & Acquisitions, HellCorp North America
TO: Scumbucket, Associate Tempter, District 17-B (Upper Delaware Valley and environs)
RE: primary elections and related topics
My dear nephew:
I remember when you were but a wee imp, always sticking your hooves in your mouth, lashing the household pets with your tail—so nauseatingly cute! No doubt you still recall the little rhymes your teachers taught you back then, in the early days of your training, when your horns were just coming in. This was always one of my favorites: Read more
Breeding eagle update
A question that has been on my mind—and probably on the minds of a few other people—is how the unusually warm late winter and early spring would affect breeding eagles in the region. Nature's timing of breeding and migration events (called phenology) occurs at approximately the same time each year for any given species, but can be influenced to some extent by weather conditions.

A tale as old as time…
While April showers cause many to think of the proverbial May flowers, the first thing that springs to mind for me is the plethora of high school musicals that pop up throughout the Upper Delaware River region. In a perfect world, I would be able to see them all, since I really love seeing the kids strutting their stuff, aided and abetted by the student musicians, stage crews, costumers and lighting technicians of the future.

HAWLEY, PA — Heather Maloney takes the stage for the first time at Harmony Presents on Saturday, April 16 at the Hawley Silk Mill, 8 Silk Mill Dr.
"Maloney gives the term 'singer-songwriter' serious weight again.

Responsible spring foraging
This year spring is early, and so are all the hopeful things that come with it: the ruffled blooms of red maple, the merry buzzing of bees and the courtship calls of woodcock, peeper and fox. Also coming soon to the Delaware Valley's forest floor are the wild edible delights everyone from gourmet chefs to home cooking enthusiasts go crazy for each spring. Ramps, fiddleheads and morels—to name just a handful of favorites—are anticipated a full two weeks early this year. Read more
A question of values
Climate scientists and economists have developed some pretty good models for calculating the economic impact of climate change and the cost of delayed action. A 2014 meta-analysis of 16 peer-reviewed studies by the White House Council of Economic Advisors projected that the cost of mitigating climate change increases by 40% for each decade of delay in meeting greenhouse gas reduction targets.

Cloudy, with a chance of meatballs

I'm a lonely sensor. I spend all day telling the world how I'm feeling, but none of the other sensors seem to care. I want to be connected. I want to build relationships with other sensors to be more useful for my human. I want my human to understand that when my friends next door are too hot for a while, I'll soon be flaming. And when all my friends go outside without me, I may be left behind. Don't just log my data; use the relationship graph. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Ryan Boyd, Engi...

Enterprise IT has been in the era of Hybrid Cloud for some time now. But it seems most conversations about Hybrid are focused on integrating AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google ECM into existing on-premises systems. Where is all the Private Cloud? What do technology providers need to do to make their offerings more compelling? How should enterprise IT executives and buyers define their focus, needs, and roadmap, and communicate that clearly to the providers?

1 dead, 3 hurt in crash on U.S. 90 in Suwannee County
Published: Monday, October 29, 2012 at 3:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 29, 2012 at 3:53 p.m.
A Live Oak man was killed Monday morning and three others were injured in a three-vehicle accident on U.S. 90 in Suwannee County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
John Charles Fuhrmann, 54, was traveling east on the highway approaching 159th Road at around 7 a.m. when his 1996 Ford Escort struck the rear of a 2004 Nissan Maxima that was stopped on U.S. 90 waiting to turn left onto 159th Road, the FHP reported.
Fuhrmann's vehicle spun into the westbound lane and collided with a 1997 Mercury Marquis being driven by Gregory Thomas Jones, 25, of Live Oak.
Fuhrmann was pronounced dead at Shands at Live Oak Hospital. The driver of the Nissan, Shayla Weaver, 19, of Live Oak, received minor injuries, as did Jones and his passenger, Victor Jones, 29, of Live Oak. All three were treated at Shands at Live Oak, the report stated.

It is not a Tom Cruise movie trailer without him running it, so MovieClips combined some of his best running scenes for one epic montage video. So watch him run like he has never run before. Wait, we have seen him run that way before. We just have never seen him run for that long.
You know, now I am beginning to think, they cast the wrong Tom in Forrest Gump.
Tom Cruise is on The Tonight Show tonight and Jimmy Fallon challenged him to a Lip Sync Battle. Cruise started it off with The Weeknd's Can't Feel My Face. The NBC late night host showed us that he has moves like Jagger as he mouthed The Rolling Stones' Undercover of the Night. Joel Goodsen shocked Fallon by side sliding his way over to the mic to Bob Seger's Old Time Rock'n'Roll. Did he do it? Nope, he did the coming of age duet, Meat Loaf's Paradise in the Dashboard Light. That wasn't the last duet of that night, Fallon ended the battle with The Righteous Brothers' You've Lost that Loving Feeling.
So who was the top gun in this mission impossible? Maveric of course!
BTW when did Cruise become a brunette Owen Wilson?

So many celebrities have cooking shows and it looks like Katie Holmes wants her own. Today she shared a video on how to make the perfect grilled cheese sandwich and things got dicey for her. So much so, I think it chopped her chances of joining the Food Network. Although for me that is a dish I want to see served.

President Obama Visits Baton Rouge After Criticism That He's Late
President Obama tours Louisiana's communities affected by the flood that damaged over 60,000 homes and killed 13 people.
There were 46.2 million people living in poverty in 2010, which marks a four-year high and the highest number ever recorded, according to a recent report from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Across multiple ethnic groups, America's poorest continued to grow over the past two years. In 2010, 10.7 million African-Americans were reported as the poorest of the poor, up from 9.9 million in 2009. The number of Latinos living in poverty increased to 13.2 million in 2010 from 12.4 million. Whites accounted for 19.6 million people in 2010, an increase from 18.5 million the previous year. Asians reported no change in the number living in poverty (1.7 million) between 2009 and 2010.
Regionally, the South was the only region to show significant increases in both the poverty rate and the number of people living in poverty — 16.9 percent and 19.1 million in 2010 — up from 15.7 percent and 17.6 million in 2009. In 2010, the poverty rates and the number of people living in poverty for the Northeast (12.8 percent and 7.0 million), the Midwest (13.9 percent and 9.1 million), and the West (15.3 percent and 11.0 million) showed no change from 2009.
President Obama tours Louisiana's communities affected by the flood that damaged over 60,000 homes and killed 13 people.
The only person that can send Gatlin home without the gold medal? A young man from Trelawney, Jamaica, whose last name literally means to run.

A trailer hitch adapter makes it easy to use a 2'' hitch accessory with a 1 ¼" receiver. Hitch mounted bike racks, and cargo carriers designed for a 2'' receiver hitch can be used with an adapter.
Service was good. We got a larger truck for the same price with extra miles due to not having what we needed and also the location had to change. I just didn't like to have to drive all the way to Coldwater 2x since we had nobody available to drive out vehicle back when we did the pickup. Truck was not as clean as I would have liked there was a small amount of change in the cubby in the dash that was not ours and it was sticky which tells me it was not cleaned out from a prior use. Aside from that overall good experience.
I have rented this same type of trailer twice now. It is extremely noisy when empty. Maybe be more accommodating for lower vehicles. I have a Kia Sorrento. I use a straight hitch and its barely off of the ground. Overall it comes in handy.
Staff is very friendly and pleasant to work with for rental and storage needs. Thank you.
Terry at the storage bin helped make my moving experience a step easier for me. He was always available to contact when I had a question, I had to change my rental date and he worked with me to make it very stress free.
Nothing wrong with the location itself but the customers service of u-haul itself was so disappointing. I will not use U-haul in the future.

The powers of Lord Henry Permanent Love spell cast are really great, having been helped by this man, I recommend his permanent spell cast to all that has fallen off hope of getting back their long lost lovers.
Hi Everybody, Am Isabel Claire Pascal, 32yrs, I have had a breakup some few years back with my ex husband, it really hurt me much until about 2 years later when I met with James my current husband now. When I started the relationship with James, all seemed to be going well and romantic until after I gave birth to our son some months ago. Suddenly James behaviors changed, he started sleeping out, I heard rumors that he was in a relationship with one of his senior work staff and when I confronted him about it he hit me twice, and finally he packed out of our home and threatened to file for a divorce on the next month. All this made me felt bad, because I have passed through heart break and divorce and I don't want to suffer such again. I complained to my friend who told me about Lord Henry's Spells. I thought of giving a try immediately because the conditions was becoming unbearable, I searched his website: www.permanentspellcast2.wixsite.com/permanentlovespell and contacted him on his email: firstname.lastname@example.com he replied back to me immediately with words of encouragement that really eased my pains, he told me what to do which I really did and ordered his Love spell, I was shocked when my husband returned home after some few hours after the spell cast as promised by Lord Henry. He asked for forgiveness and canceled the file for a divorce. Am so happy and grateful to Lord Henry of Permanent Spell Cast for helping me. To you that are reading my story, I just want to let you know that there is still more hope than ever. And to those who are also in same case as I was, kindly contact Lord Henry for Help now on firstname.lastname@example.com … email@example.com … firstname.lastname@example.com .. Or on www.permanentspellcast2.wixsite.com/permanentlovespell
After the election, what will be the public response to a likely re-introduction of the stormwater enterprise fee and finding $12-$15 added each month to their utility bill?
"Doesn't seem likely though with elections around the corner."
Reference by local elected officials to the fact that an "issue will not be dealt with until after the election" - - or "Some council members may not want to act on this as elections are coming up" related to different issues.
What is the primary goal:
A) Being in office, or
B) Taking care of the public business while IN office, every year?
Critical needs and decisions need to be made four years out of four. Not three.
IE: the matter of addressing how stormwater will be funded.
Water does not run downhill on election years?
Or funding for adequate numbers of police officers:
"But, Suthers said, "I would be shocked if the City Council had the appetite to do it before the election, and I wouldn't blame 'em."
- - - John, maybe you should!
Wrong. That is not why they are short on funds. Look at the facts before you spout your pseudo libertarian gibberish. Administration funding does not come from the same pot as capital improvements. As far as labor overhead look at the comparison of D11 with similar size districts and you will find a model of fiscal responsibility. It's time the D11 teachers end their $ 500,000 a year subsidy to the residents of D11. Subsidies of the 1000 plus employees using an average of $500 a year of their own hard earned money to adequately educate the children of this district.
Rick, a 5 year moratorium can be a 5 minute moratorium if they want it to be. Doesn't seem likely though with elections around the corner. Thankfully Joel, all of these take a vote and while I know you are cynical about the election process, it is still the law of the land. My guess is that an initiated referendum is not likely.
Citizens have responded often their preference would be an 'Independent Board" But would not the voters turn down a measure creating an 'Independent Board' if the appointments were to be made by the mayor and or a combination of the mayor and council?
If I am not mistaken, the 'five year moratorium' on further council discussion on the matter can be shelved by the next council - - driving special interest group desire to 'stack council' in the next election.
Working to totally block Colorado Springs Forward candidates from getting elected might be the most effective means to hopefully gains four years with a stable council focused on overall community needs.
Council can't stop the effort. Having a referred measure may have been stopped, but initiated measure effort is still available and will likely be used. The investment in getting a governance change will likely reap great benefits for whoever purchases the change.
Make it beer. I'm coming! Not a 'Banana Meeting' - chili pepper meeting.
Mr. Miller, Council has, as I understand it, stopped efforts on governance changes at CSU. I do not and have not ever worked for CSF and am not working on any changes at CSU. Out of that business, though still a concerned citizen like you. If you want to get a cup of coffee and catch up, happy to sit down some time.
The buck stops...absolutely right, Kevin. No accountability. Contracting solely at the strong mayor's discretion with no oversight, city attorney completely as an instrument of the strong mayor, a powerless and impotent City Council only acting at the request of the Mayor's staff and the Mayor's financiers. The buck does definitely stop. The only thing you didn't get in 2011 was Utilities, but I'm sure you and CSF are working that one hard right now....even as Utilities will fund the philanthropic and altruistic projects of your clients. At that point we ought to just put a name change for the City on the ballot as well.
Everyone sees these things through their own lens and filters. I did get paid, a lot less than my regular job paid. So take that as you may. The money spent for PR is a fraction of what I have personally seen that company give to more easily identified local philanthropic efforts. But I understand why some see less than altruistic motivations; I did not then nor do I see them now. And now we have a Mayor where the "buck stops" and we will be better off for it. That's why I invested my time and energy.
Cockroaches scurrying...
Kevin Walker...I'm sure that $800K spent on PR (and your consulting services)had nothing to do with those 75K votes. Who spent that money and who is benefiting manyfold?
Joel, I know what my motivation was. So straight face it is. There were 75,000 yes votes so I can't vouch for all of them.
Gary, Sign me up for your . As you apparently don't know or want to forget, there is a single purpose rule for most elections, certainly for citizen initiatives. That means changes to the Charter that involved more than just the Manager to Mayor, such as adjusting Council duties and changing Utility Governance, etc., were not allowed. We made this well known and said that more changes are needed so bring them on!
The city does not have the power advantage. The land in question is being used for a pipeline that will deliver the water that Mr. Jenkins needs to develop Lewis Banning ranch, it mainly benefits him, though we all paid for it, tax payers paid 825 million for a pipeline to serve Mr. Jenkins property, and somehow he feels wronged! Lewis Banning Ranch is in a flood plain and will require around a billion dollars in infrastructure to make it safe for development, this is why it has not been developed yet. The Colorado courts recently ruled that Mr. Jenkins is responsible for paying those costs, unless city council changes its incorporation status, in which case the tax payers will pay the billion dollars instead. Any guess how that's going to go down? The developer cartels own the mayor and city council; so,its not the city with the power advantage. The land was likely not worth 2 million, but,
$320,000 in attorneys goes along way to getting your way.
The moment Jesse leaned in through the window of Rogers vehicle and (presumably) tried to grab Rogers gun he made it a self defense act on Rogers part. Rogers is not legally obligated to leave an area just because someone he is in conflict with is there. Why didn't Jesse leave when he saw the gun? Maybe Jack Rogers is getting away with murder, but Jesse Garcia made it easy for him.
Kevin: The reason for the "strong mayor" was power not necessarily holding elected officials accountable.
What happened with the change from manager to elected mayor was a complete bastardization of the city charter, our constitution.
How did this happen? Simple. When a group of individuals, not familiar with the nuances of city charters, decided to change the charter they forgot that the charter is intertwined. Pulling out the manager portion and replacing it with the mayor's portion did not change the charter's effect in the rest of the sections.
In other words, were the council's duties changed to reflect the change? No they weren't. Council's duties remain the same with the same authority as before the mayor portion was added.
How do we know this? Per the charter, each change made to the charter must be voted on by the citizens of the community. There was only one change voted on-manager to mayor and nothing else. If the appropriate changes to the charter were made there would have been at least 3-5 changes requiring a vote.
As for the segment of the population that wants to sell CSU, the charter changes required will need to be made before a sale can be completed which will relieve the city and council of their responsibilities. Notice, I didn't say mayor because the mayor does not have oversight of CSU. The charter was never changed.
As of now, the city charter, our constitution, is not worth the paper it's printed on. It will take 2-3 years to clean it up and the most difficult task will be educating the public. Staffing a charter review committee with members of CSF, the RBA, HBA, will only make matters worse. We need citizens from all sectors of the community to take 2-3 years out of their lives to do the grunt work required to make the city charter whole. Do we have any volunteers?
Here is the text of the Wall Street Journal article. I've omitted the accompanying photos.
We are indebted to Mr. Carlton and the Wall Street Journal for recognizing the importance of The Broadmoor Land Swap/Strawberry Fields in the context of rapidly mounting nationwide concern over the privatization of public lands. This issue will not go away.
"COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—A new conservation battleground is emerging in crowded cities, where proposals to convert municipal parkland to other uses have provoked public furor.
Here at the base of the Rocky Mountains, a citizens group in August filed a suit to overturn a deal approved by the city in May to trade 190 acres of historic North Cheyenne Cañon Park to a private resort controlled by Denver billionaire Philip Anschutz. As part of the deal, the city gets access to land in more remote terrain.
"This should not become a theme park for the rich," Sue Spengler, a nearby resident, said as she surveyed a pine-fringed meadow in the park known as Strawberry Hill.
Officials of the The Broadmoor resort said the park is used by few people, and said the opposition was motivated by neighbors who largely want to keep Strawberry Hill for their own use, such as for walking dogs. "The group that is opposed to this is small in number but loud in voice," said Jack Damioli, president and chief executive officer.
Municipal parks have long faced threats from new roads and other infrastructure development, but conservationists say cities are under added pressure to sell or trade them because of population growth on limited land.
Of 54 cities responding to a survey earlier this year by the Trust for Public Land, a conservation advocacy group, 14, including Dallas, Phoenix and Detroit, reported they were facing the loss of parkland; 18 said they had lost a total of 688 acres over the past five years.
Officials of the Trust for Public Land said there has also been an increase in organized opposition to park transfers fueled by social media.
"In the past, you would have one park defender with one voice," said Adrian Benepe, former New York City parks commissioner and a director of Trust for Public Land. "Now because of the internet that defender potentially has a huge voice."
In Memphis, Tenn., a grass-roots movement sprang up in 2014 to oppose a decades-old practice of the city allowing the Memphis Zoo to use a stretch of grass in Overton Park as a parking lot.
The group organized protests over Facebook , including a standoff last March when some lovers of the 110-year-old park held their arms out to police to be arrested. In July, the city council voted to restrict parking there, prompting cheers from residents packed into the meeting.
In Tulsa, Okla., residents are trying to overturn a sale by a city public trust of nine acres of 67-acre Helmerich Park to a real-estate developer. That part of the park, on a bank of the Arkansas River, is slated for a shopping center and was sold by the Tulsa Public Facilities Authority trust for $1.5 million in August last year.
Officials of the authority said that part of the park, which was first acquired in 1991, was never developed for recreation. But former Mayor Terry Young and a group of other residents who filed suit in state district court in July 2015 to invalidate the deal said the park is held in trust for the public and can't be sold. The trust countersued in November, asking that a judge affirm its sale.
With the cases pending, opponents of the deal have held protest rallies and peppered local elected officials with emails and calls asking them to reconsider.
"Once you lose open space, you don't get it back," said Mr. Young, now 68.
The Colorado Springs issue started in 2014 when city officials approached The Broadmoor over gaining easements to use portions of the resort's 5,000-acre property to help connect a popular hiking trail that the resort bisects. The resort turned its attention to adjoining Strawberry Hill, after discovering the city might one day open it to downhill bicycle racing and disrupt the solitude for guests, said Mr. Damioli, the resort president.
"We want to keep the land as pristine as possible," he said.
The two sides agreed to a swap: Strawberry Hill for the resort, in exchange for access to about 500 acres of forest land for the city. The resort agreed to continue allowing public access on all but a nine-acre meadow of Strawberry Hill, where it plans to host barbecues and horseback riding for guests.
"It's an absolute no-brainer for the city of Colorado Springs," Mayor John Suthers said in an interview.
Some conservationists support the exchange. "At the end of the day, we end up with more acres of park, open space and more miles of trail," said Susan Davies, executive director of Trails and Open Space Coalition, a local conservation group.
But some residents reacted with outrage when the city council approved the exchange, saying Strawberry Hill is part of a city park residents in 1885 voted to preserve.
"You're going to have the wealthy elite having lavish parties in the center, with the plebes looking in from the perimeter," said Dana Duggan, a media consultant who helped organize opposition to the deal.
Among other concerns by the residents is that much of the property being traded by the resort is far less accessible than Strawberry Hill.
"The bottom line is we get a bunch of junk and we trade a valuable piece of property," said Michael Chaussee, a local resident and real-estate investor.
City officials declined to comment on the litigation."

If taxpayers are going to fund anything for the reservoir then it should be made for public access. There is not a lake in this area and it would be great for nearby communities to have one close by.
