Colorado Springs Airport (COS) announced Wednesday it has purchased a ten-acre parcel of land from Colorado Springs School District 11. The land, which is located to the east of the airport on Peterson Air Force Base, was originally dedicated to the school district with the intent of building a school, prior to the airport being built in 1993. Due to the location of the runway of the new airport, the school district could no longer make use of.

Colorado Springs Airport has purchased a 10-acre parcel of land from Colorado Springs School District 11. The land is east of COS on Peterson Air Force Base.
The airport is working with the base to possibly use the land to meet the needs of the installation and help maintain compatibility with airport operations.
âWe are very grateful for the partnership COS has with Colorado Springs School District 11 and the future possibilities of this land,â COS Director of Aviation Greg Phillips said.
The land was originally dedicated to District 11 with the intended purpose of building a school. This was before 1993, when the new Colorado Springs Airport was built.

Josh Carrier, a former Colorado Springs Police Department officer, lost his bid for a sentence reconsideration when Judge David Gilbert issued an order March 3.
Carrier was accused of hundreds of incidents involving young boys that took place while he served as a school resource officer a decade ago. The case led to a payout to victims by Colorado Springs School District 11 and the city of roughly $11 million.

Gilbert s ruling denies a reconsideration, saying, The Court has seriously considered the option of some adjustment that would provide Mr. Carrier an earlier opportunity for treatment and parole but does not feel it would adequately recognize the widespread damage caused by Defendantâs actions.
A former Colorado Springs police officer convicted in 2012 of sexually abusing 18 boys at a local middle school will not receive a reduced sentence, a judge ruled Wednesday.
Joshua Carrier, 39, will remain incarcerated with a 70-year-to-life sentence in the attacks on students at Horace Mann Middle School, where Carrier was a volunteer wrestling coach and former school resource officer, according to a five-page ruling by 4
th Judicial District Judge David A. Gilbert.
“The court has seriously considered the option of some adjustment that would provide Mr. Carrier an earlier opportunity for treatment and parole but does not feel it would adequately recognize the widespread damage caused by (the) defendant’s actions,” Gilbert wrote.
This is not justice in any way
I am angry, saddened and upset over the news that Krystal Kenney will likely be released early and maybe even in the next week or two. She might not have swung the bat like Patrick Frazee did, but her complicity in the young woman and mother’s death is well-known. She could have saved Kelsey’s life by contacting the authorities about the repeated requests to assist in Kelsey’s demise.
I do not believe Kenney has remorse except for herself because she is in prison. I would like to think she will live the remainder of her life with sorrow for her actions or more importantly lack of action, but she clearly has no conscious because if she did she would have changed the trajectory before Kelsey was bludgeoned to death in her home.
