Today I read an article called Glider Plane missing south of Salida.It was about a glider that was released at about 1000 feet and neve returned or made any contact to anyone. They set out with 11 planes to search a total of 11000 square miles to find him. This matters because even though you think you can make it you never know when it could be your last flight.

After the illness fofr 25 or 30 years when they are in there late 40's then they become heavy smokers and get very ill because of cardiovascular disease and can die.

This week I read an article called Olympic group kicks around move from Colo. This was the proposal plan to move the olympic training center to a bigger location for more office space and new residences. They are fine with the location now but are looking for their future needs. They employee 400 people a year and have 125,000 vistitors a year. This matters because this is a huge part of colorado springs.

Today I read an article called A-Basin Opens Today First In Us. This is about how after a short summer or only 129 days Arapahoe Basin is first to open in Us for 2 consecutive years. Last year they beat loveland by 1 day. This year by almost a month. This year they went up there yesterday and saw more dirt than snow. This is important because it is a huge part of people life and everyone likes to go skiing or snowboarding. This is also important because we like to open first because we ski alot because we live in colorado.

This week I read an article called Healthy Change for Childrens Hospital. I was talked about how this weekend childrens hospital made it big move to a bigger and better location. The new location is 1.44 million square feet and 73% larger than the old location. This is important to us because they are thinking about us and making more space for everyone in the world. THis relates to society because with all the new technology they want to be able to use it in a bigger space.
