Jared Corey Kushner (born January 10, 1981) is an American investor, real-estate developer, and newspaper publisher who is currently senior advisor to his father-in-law, Donald Trump, the president of the United States. Kushner is the elder son of the former real-estate developer Charles Kushner, the son of Jewish immigrants from the USSR, and is married to Ivanka Trump, President Trump's daughter and fellow advisor. As a result of his father's conviction for fraud and incarceration, he took over management of his father's real estate company Kushner Companies, which launched his business career. He later also bought Observer Media, publisher of the New York Observer. He is the co-founder and part owner of Cadre, an online real-estate investment platform.

During the 2016 Trump presidential campaign, Kushner helped develop and run Trump's digital media strategy. On January 9, 2017, he was named as a senior White House advisor.
Early life (1981–2007)
Kushner was born in Livingston, New Jersey, to Seryl Kushner (née Stadtmauer) and Charles Kushner, a real-estate developer.[2] His paternal grandparents, Reichel and Joseph Kushner, were Holocaust survivors who came to the U.S. in 1949 from Navahrudak, now in Belarus.[3][4] Morris Stadtmauer was the maternal grandfather of Jared Kushner.[5] Kushner was raised in a Modern Orthodox Jewish family.[6] He graduated from the Frisch School, a Modern Orthodox yeshiva high school, in 1999. He was an honors student and a member of the debate, hockey, and basketball teams.[7]
Kushner enrolled at Harvard University in 1999. Journalist Daniel Golden has alleged that Kushner was accepted due to his father's donations and history with the school.[8][9] He was elected into the Fly Club, supported the campus Chabad house,[10][11] While an undergrad, Jared bought and sold real estate in Somerville, Massachusetts, as a vice president of Somerville Building Associates (a division of Kushner Companies), returning a profit of $20 million by its dissolution in 2005.[12][13][14] Kushner graduated from Harvard in 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in government.[15][16]
Kushner graduated from New York University in 2007 with dual JD/MBA degrees. He interned at Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau's office, and at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP.[17]
Business career (2006–2017)
Following his father's conviction for fraud in 2005 and subsequent incarceration, Jared Kushner took over the management of his father's real estate company.[18] As of 2019[update], Kushner's net worth is estimated at about $800 million.[19]
Kushner was a real-estate investor, and increased Kushner Companies' presence in the New York City real-estate market.[20]
Kushner Companies purchased 666 Fifth Avenue in 2007 for $1.8 billion, the most expensive single property purchase in US history at the time.[21]
Kushner Companies purchased the office building at 666 Fifth Avenue in 2007, for a then-record price of $1.8 billion, most of it borrowed.[21] He assumed the role of CEO in 2008.[22] Following the property crash that year, the cash flow generated by the property was insufficient to cover its debt service, and the Kushners were forced to sell the retail footage to Stanley Chera[23] and bring in Vornado Realty Trust as a 50% equity partner in the ownership of the building.[24] By that time, Kushner Companies had lost more than $90 million on its investment.[25] He was the face of the deal but his father Charles Kushner pushed him to do the deal.[26]
On August 18, 2014, Kushner acquired a three-building apartment portfolio in Middle River, Maryland, for $38 million with Aion Partners. In 2013–2014, he and his company acquired more than 11,000 units throughout New York, New Jersey, and the Baltimore area.[27] In May 2015, he purchased 50.1% of the Times Square Building from Africa Israel Investments Ltd. for $295 million.[28]
In May 2015, Kushner purchased a majority stake of One Times Square for $295 million.[28]
In 2014, Kushner, with his brother Joshua and Ryan Williams, co-founded Cadre (now RealCadre LLC), an online real-estate investment platform. His business partners included Goldman Sachs and billionaire George Soros, a top Democratic Party donor.[29][30][31] In early 2015, Soros Fund Management financed the startup with a $250 million credit line.[29][32] Kushner did not identify these business relationships in his January 2017 government financial-disclosure form.[29][33]
Peter W. Kaplan and Kushner, September 2008
In 2006, Kushner purchased The New York Observer, a weekly New York City newspaper, for $10 million,[34] using money he says he earned during his college years by closing deals on residential buildings in Somerville, Massachusetts,[35] with family members providing the backing for his investments.[36]
After purchasing the Observer, Kushner published it in tabloid format.[37] Since then, he has been credited with increasing the Observer's online presence and expanding the Observer Media Group.[38][39] With no substantial experience in journalism, Kushner could not establish a good relationship with the newspaper's veteran editor-in-chief, Peter W. Kaplan.[40] "This guy doesn't know what he doesn't know", Kaplan remarked about Kushner, to colleagues, at the time.[40] As a result of his differences with Kushner, Kaplan quit his position. Kaplan was followed by a series of short-lived successors until Kushner hired Elizabeth Spiers in 2011.[41] It has been alleged that Kushner used Observer as propaganda against rivals in real estate.[41][42] Spiers left the newspaper in 2012. In January 2013, Kushner hired a new editor-in-chief, Ken Kurson. Kurson had been a consultant to Republican political candidates in New Jersey.[41]
According to Vanity Fair, under Kushner, the "Observer has lost virtually all of its cultural currency among New York's elite, but the paper is now profitable and reporting traffic growth ... [it] boasts 6 million unique visitors per month, up from 1.3 million in January 2013".[43] In April 2016, the New York Observer became one of only a handful of newspapers to officially endorse United States presidential candidate Donald Trump in the Republican primary, but the paper ended the campaign period by choosing not to back any presidential candidate at all.[44][45]
Kushner stepped down from his newspaper role in January 2017 to pursue a role in President Donald Trump's administration. He was replaced by his brother-in-law.[which?][46]
Politics (2016–present)
Jared Kushner had been a lifelong Democrat prior to his father-in-law Donald Trump entering politics.[47] He had donated over $10,000 to Democratic campaigns[48] starting at young age of 11. In 2008 he donated to the campaign for Hillary Clinton and his newspaper the New York Observer endorsed Barack Obama over John McCain in the US presidential election.[49] After expressing disappointment with Barack Obama, however, he endorsed Republican U.S. presidential nominee Mitt Romney in 2012 via the New York Observer.[50] In 2014 he continued to donate to Democratic groups,[49] but he then continued his "ideological conversion" by joining his father-in-law Donald Trump's nascent US presidential campaign in the field of the Republican candidates in 2015.[55] Kushner had no prior involvement in campaign politics or in government before Trump's campaign.[56]

From the outset of the presidential campaign of his father-in-law Donald Trump, Kushner was the architect of Trump's digital, online, and social media campaigns, enlisting talent from Silicon Valley to run a 100-person social-media team dubbed "Project Alamo".[57] Kushner, together with Paul Manafort and Brad Parscale, hired Steve Bannon's firm Cambridge Analytica to support the Trump campaign.[58] Kushner has also helped as a speechwriter, and was tasked with working to establish a plan for Trump's White House transition team.[59] He was for a time seen as Trump's de facto campaign manager, succeeding Corey Lewandowski, who was fired in part on Kushner's recommendation in June 2016.[60] He had been intimately involved with campaign strategy, coordinating Trump's visit in late August to Mexico, and he is believed to be responsible for the choice of Mike Pence as Trump's running mate.[57][61] Kushner's "sprawling digital fundraising database and social media campaign" has been described as "the locus of his father-in-law's presidential bid".[62]
According to former Google CEO Eric Schmidt (who worked on technology for Hillary Clinton's campaign), Kushner's role in the 2016 election was its biggest surprise. Schmidt told Forbes, "Best I can tell, he actually ran the campaign and did it with essentially no resources."[63] Federal Election Commission filings indicate the Trump campaign spent $343 million, about 59 percent as much as the Clinton campaign.[64]
On July 5, 2016, Kushner wrote an open letter in the New York Observer addressing the controversy around a tweet from the Trump campaign containing allegedly anti-Semitic imagery. He was responding to his own paper's editorial by Dana Schwartz criticizing Kushner's involvement with the Trump campaign.[65] In the letter, Kushner wrote, "In my opinion, accusations like 'racist' and 'anti-Semite' are being thrown around with a carelessness that risks rendering these words meaningless."[66]
Presidential transition

During the presidential transition, Kushner was said to be his father-in-law's "confidant",[67] and one of Donald Trump's closest advisors, even more so than Trump's four adult children.[68] Trump was reported to have requested the top-secret security clearance for him to attend the presidential daily intelligence briefings as his staff-level companion, along with General Mike Flynn, who already had the clearance prior to his resignation.[69]
Kushner was reportedly an influential factor behind the firing of New Jersey governor Chris Christie as head of the transition team, as well as the dismissal from the Donald Trump transition team of anyone connected to Christie.[70][71] An anonymous source familiar with the transition told Politico, "Jared doesn't like Christie... He's always held [the prosecution of his father] against Christie."[72] Kushner told Forbes that the reports that he was involved in Christie's dismissal were false: "Six months ago, Governor Christie and I decided this election was much bigger than any differences we may have had in the past, and we worked very well together... I was not behind pushing out him or his people."[73]
Kushner during the April 2017 Syrian missile strike operation
On January 9, 2017, Kushner was named Senior Advisor to the President[74] (formally, "Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor"[75]). He consequently resigned as CEO of Kushner Companies, and as publisher of the Observer.[76] Kushner's appointment was questioned on the basis of a 1967 anti-nepotism law.[77] On January 20, 2017, the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel issued an opinion stating, "The President may appoint relatives to his immediate staff of advisors."[78][79] Kushner was sworn in on January 22, 2017.[80] Kushner operated on a temporary security clearance for more than a year,[81][82] with access to classified information, until he was granted permanent access in May 2018.[83] On February 27, 2018, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly downgraded Kushner's interim security clearance to "secret" status, along with other White House staffers working with interim security clearances.[84][85][86] He worked in the White House based on an interim security clearance[87] until May 2018, when he passed a comprehensive background investigation.[88] The New York Times reported in February 2019 that in May 2018 Trump ordered Kelly to grant Kushner a top-secret clearance, which Kelly contemporaneously documented in an internal memo. Trump had asserted in January 2019 that he had no role in directing officials to grant Kushner the clearance.[89] Kushner's office is physically the closest to the Oval Office.[90]
Trump put Kushner in charge of brokering peace in Israeli–Palestinian conflict, as well as making deals with foreign countries, although in what way he is in charge is unclear.[91][92][93] On August 24, 2017, Kushner traveled to Israel to talk to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu[94] (with whom Kushner has longstanding personal links and family ties, causing Palestinians to distrust him[95][96]). He then traveled to Palestine to meet President Mahmoud Abbas in an attempt to restart a peace process in the Middle East.[94]
Furthermore, after Donald Trump became President-elect, Kushner and his wife met with Japanese Prime Minister and other Japanese officials, while his wife was conducting a licensing deal between her namesake clothing brand and a Japanese government-owned company.[97] His wife sat in on a meeting between her father, then-president-elect Donald Trump, and Japan's prime minister, Shinzō Abe.[98]
Kushner with President Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in March 2017
In late March 2017, Jared Kushner was also given the new role of leading the "White House Office of American Innovation",[99][100] where Kushner reportedly has been focusing on improving governmental efforts with regard to Veterans Affairs, information-technology contracting, and the opioid crisis.[101] Kushner was involved in the sale of $100+ billion of arms to Saudi Arabia, and during a meeting with Saudi officials at the White House, he called Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn Hewson to ask for a lower price on a radar system to detect ballistic missiles.[102]
Kushner's business activities in China have drawn scrutiny for mixing government with business.[103][104][105] Kushner's investments in real estate and financial services have also drawn controversy for conflicts of interest.[106][107] In May, the Wall Street Journal reported that he had failed to disclose all required financial information in his security clearance applications, including that he owes $1 billion in loans.[33][108]
Abbe Lowell, the lawyer of Kushner, in a statement admitted that Kushner used private e-mail for official White House business. No classified or privileged information was used on this account. Kushner's father-in-law repeatedly criticized his opponent Hillary Clinton for her personal e-mail usage in her role as Secretary of State.[109]
In an HBO/Axios interview released in June 2019, Kushner denied that President Trump was a racist. When asked whether birther conspiracy theories about President Obama (which Trump pushed extensively for a number of years) were racist, Kushner did not answer, saying instead twice, "Look, I wasn't really involved in that."[110][111] In the interview, Kushner spoke about how great the United States was for accepting his grandparents as refugees, "It's a great reminder of how great this country is."[111] In the same interview, he defended the Trump administration's decision to drastically reduce the number of refugees accepted by the United States (the lowest level in 40 years).[112]

FIRST STEP Act
Kushner helped to spearhead creation of the Formerly Incarcerated Reenter Society Transformed Safely Transitioning Every Person Act (FIRST STEP ACT, H.R. 5682) and its endorsement by the House Judiciary Committee on May 9, 2018.[113][114][115]
Russian investigation
Main articles: Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections and Trump Tower meeting
Kushner's contacts with Russian officials have come under scrutiny as part of the larger federal investigation into Russian interference in the election.[116] Kushner has said he had four meetings with Russians during the 2016 campaign and presidential transition, and that none of those Russian contacts were improper.[117]
In June 2016, an agent of Emin Agalarov reportedly offered Donald Trump Jr., Kushner's brother-in-law, compromising information on Hillary Clinton from the Russian government if he met with a lawyer connected to the Kremlin.[118] A meeting took place on June 9, 2016, and included Kushner, Trump Jr., and Paul Manafort, who was then chairman of the presidential campaign, who met with Natalia Veselnitskaya at Trump Tower.[119] According to Rinat Akhmetshin, who was also present at the meeting, Veselnitskaya claimed to have evidence of "violations of Russian law by a Democratic donor", and that the "Russian lawyer described her findings at the meeting and left a document about them with Trump Jr. and the others".[120] The Democratic National Committee cyber attacks were revealed later that week.[118]
Between April and November 2016, Kushner had two undisclosed phone calls with the Russian ambassador, Sergey I. Kislyak.[121] (In May 2017, Kushner's attorney Jamie Gorelick told Reuters that Kushner had participated in "thousands of calls in this time period" and did not recall any with Kislyak.[121]) In December 2016, Kushner met with Kislyak.[122] That month, U.S. intelligence officials who were monitoring Kislyak reportedly overheard him relaying to Moscow a request from Kushner to establish a "secret and secure communications channel" with the Kremlin using Russian diplomatic facilities. Kislyak reportedly was "taken aback by the suggestion of allowing an American to use Russian communications gear at its embassy or consulate – a proposal that would have carried security risks for Moscow as well as the Trump team".[123][124]
Also in December 2016, Kushner met with Sergey N. Gorkov, a trained Russian spy who then headed Vnesheconombank (VEB), a Russian state-owned bank.[122][125][126] Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer said that Kushner met with Gorkov briefly as part of his role in the transition, and as a diplomatic conduit to the State Department.[127] However, VEB has stated that Gorkov met with Kushner on a private matter concerning his family's real estate corporation, Kushner Companies, even though VEB has been under international sanctions since July 2014.[128]
In July 2017, Kushner appeared before both the House and Senate intelligence committees in closed session as part of their investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.[129] He also released a public statement.[130] In October 2017 the Senate Judiciary Committee requested numerous documents from Kushner. Kushner's attorneys gave the committee many documents on November 3, but the committee followed up on November 16 with a request for many additional documents it said had not been produced.[131]
In early November 2017, Kushner was interviewed by investigators from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office. Reportedly the interview focused on former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.[132] On December 1, Flynn pleaded guilty to one count of lying to the FBI, as part of a plea bargain. Bloomberg reported that Kushner is most likely the "senior member of the Trump transition team," mentioned in Flynn's plea documents, who is said to have ordered Flynn to contact Russia.[133]

Mueller is investigating meetings between Trump associates including Kushner and George Nader, an emissary representing the crown princes of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia. In August 2016, Nader offered help to the Trump presidential campaign.[134] In December 2016, Nader attended a New York meeting between the United Arab Emirates officials and Kushner, Michael Flynn and Steve Bannon.[135] Mueller is also investigating Kushner's possible ties to Qatar, Israel and China.[136]
Kushner and Gen. Joseph Dunford, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, with Iraqi Defence Minister Erfan al-Hiyali in Baghdad on April 3, 2017
On January 18, 2017, Kushner requested Top Secret security clearance,[122] using "Standard Form 86 (SF86): Questionnaire for National Security Positions".[137][138]
The request omitted dozens of pertinent contacts with foreign officials, including the meetings with Kislyak and Gorkov.[122] Failure to disclose pertinent contacts can cause security clearances to be declined or revoked, and an intentional failure to disclose can result in imprisonment.[139] Kushner's lawyers said that the omissions were "an oversight",[140] and that "a member of [Kushner's] staff had prematurely hit the 'send' button" before the form was completed.[137]
By July 2017, Kushner had resubmitted his SF86, this time disclosing contacts with foreign nationals.[139] This was the first time that government officials were made aware of the June 2016 Trump campaign–Russian meeting and Kushner's role in it.[139]
On September 15, 2017, Carl Kline, the director of the personnel security office within the Executive Office of President Trump, recorded Kushner as having an interim Top Secret/SCI security clearance.[89] Kushner and his wife were among at least 48 officials granted interim clearance giving them access to sensitive compartmented information (SCI): detailed accounts of intelligence sources and methods.[141][142]
In February 2018, all White House staff holding interim Top Secret/SCI security clearances, including Kushner, were downgraded to Secret clearances, and Trump said that he would not intervene to grant Kushner a permanent security clearance.[143] That day, White House sources said that part of the reason Kushner had not yet been granted permanent security clearance was that he was under investigation by Mueller.[144]
On May 23, 2018, Kushner received permanent Top Secret security clearance.[145][146]
In January 2019, Trump told the New York Times that he had not intervened to grant Kushner's security clearances.[89][147] On February 8, 2019, Kushner's wife Ivanka also denied that Trump had intervened to grant her or Kushner's security clearances.[148][149][147] However, on February 28, 2019, CNN (citing three anonymous sources) and The New York Times (citing four anonymous sources) reported that Trump had intervened to order the granting of those clearances.[89][147][150] Reportedly, this is the first time a U.S. President has intervened in such a way.[144]
Kushner with Ivanka and Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman in May 2017
Kushner has a younger brother, Joshua, and two sisters, Dara and Nicole.[151] He married Ivanka Trump in a Jewish ceremony on October 25, 2009. They had met in 2005 through mutual friends.[152][153][154] Kushner and his wife (who converted to Judaism in 2009[155]) are Modern Orthodox Jews, keep a kosher home, and observe the Jewish Shabbat.[156][157][158] They have three children, a daughter born in July 2011[159] and two sons born in October 2013[160] and March 2016.[161] In 2017, federal disclosures suggested Kushner and his wife had assets worth at least $240 million, and as much as $740 million.[106][162] They also have an art collection, estimated to be worth millions that was not mentioned in the financial disclosures initially,[163] and enjoy visiting art studios.[164] The United States Office of Government Ethics has said that the updated disclosures comply with the regulations and laws.[165] When asked about his father-in-law President Donald Trump, Kushner told CNN's Van Jones: "He's a black swan. He's been a black swan all his life."[166][ambiguous]

Andrew Romanoff, who as the president and CEO of Mental Health Colorado wholeheartedly supports Eagle County Ballot Issue 1A, wanted to make sure during a recent interview that I was very clear on one thing: adequately funding badly needed mental health services locally and across Colorado doesn't mean we'll see an end to our current gun-violence epidemic.
With the worst mass shooting in U.S. history so fresh in everyone's minds – 58 killed and more than 500 wounded at a country music festival in Las Vegas on Oct. 1 – Romanoff says funding for mental health and substance abuse services, however, is a matter of life and death.
Most gun deaths in the United States (about two-thirds of the annual average of around 33,000) are suicides, and it's typically the most lethal way to end one's own life. That was the case with Romanoff's cousin Melissa, who shot herself to death in the backyard at a family New Year's Day celebration in 2015.
Romanoff wants communities across Colorado to figure out funding mechanisms for bringing badly needed mental health services to underserved areas like Eagle County, where so far this year there have been 10 suicides – already more than all of last year. And yet there are no in-patient mental health beds for a county of more than 53,000 people.
And while even the peaceful resort town of Vail has its own example of a mass shooting perpetrated by a mentally ill man (Richard "Rossi" Moreau at the Sandbar restaurant in 2009), Romanoff doesn't want mental health funding entangled with the gun control debate. Nor does the former Democratic speaker of the house of the Colorado Legislature want Republicans to think the epidemic of mass shootings can be solved solely by funding mental health services.
Last spring a student left notes threatening violence and suicide at Battle Mountain High School in Edwards. Thankfully, the threats never materialized, either because of the ensuing law enforcement presence that cast a pall over end-of-the-year and graduation festivities or because the student was identified and kept from acting on what was clearly a desperate cry for help.
I have two sons at Battle Mountain, but I have no idea what the resolution was. While bag check and other security measures were communicated quite well in the days leading up to the specific date detailed in the notes, I always felt there was not nearly enough emphasis on counseling.
Not just for the student who made the threats, but for other students and parents who were impacted by the very real possibility of a Columbine-style school massacre right here in our formerly and obviously quite fictitiously safe and serene mountain-resort valley.
This school year started with absolutely no mention of last spring's troubling incident – no update on how or if it was resolved – and no more write-ups in the local paper of record, the Vail Daily. They did a great story on teen suicide prevention in July, using the Netflix series "13 Reasons Why" as a news hook, but even that article failed to mention last spring's threats.
I'm bringing all of this up again not just to criticize the lack of communication and open dialogue on mental health issues but also to underscore the stigma attached to such issues, especially in a resort area dependent on tourism and adverse to big-city, bad-news stories.
I also believe it's perhaps the best reason yet to vote for Eagle County Ballot Issue 1A to tax recreational marijuana sales and fund local mental health and substance abuse services – and a reason no one is really talking about. There have been 10 suicides in Eagle County so far this year, but there could have been an 11th.
And it might have been the most tragic of all, because our valley's youth – in my opinion – is not getting nearly enough help coping with all the stress of adolescence. We have an intense party culture in the Vail Valley, and parents are stretched very thin dealing with a lack of affordable housing, skyrocketing health insurance costs and one of the state's highest costs of living.
I interviewed several experts on these factors in articles I wrote on 1A for both Colorado Politics and Atlantic Media's RouteFifty.com, and they all shared invaluable insights into why we should care about the fact that we have zero in-patient beds for people in need of mental health and substance abuse services – requiring transport to Grand Junction, Denver or Pueblo.
Eagle County Public Health and Environment director Chris Lindley is an Iraq War combat vet who "saw some terrible things" that deeply impacted soldiers returning to the states. He's good at recognizing people on the verge of snapping, and he has some tips on talking about and recognizing mental illness.
So sweeping an incident like what happened at Battle Mountain last spring under the rug isn't necessarily the right move.
"We miss so many of those signs because we're scared to have that conversation in this country," Lindley added.
If you need more recent reminders, there was a "subject in crisis" incident at a home in Eagle Ranch earlier this month, and a Gypsum woman hung herself in the Garfield County Jail just a couple of weeks ago. Could these folks get help right here locally and hopefully head off trouble before police or the coroner are involved? We won't know until we fund some local beds.
The 1A tax, which is only on recreational marijuana sales and starts at 2.5 percent and caps out at 5 percent, would fund social detox with six beds, a crisis stabilization unit with six beds, a mental health walk-in clinic and other behavioral health services the community needs. It would raise up to $1.2 million a year and does not go toward an actual facility. The county is in talks with local health care providers about a capital campaign to pay for a building in Edwards.
The only real criticisms I've heard so far against the tax is that it unfairly singles out marijuana buyers and picks on a product that is already heavily taxed. But when I voted for legalization back in 2012, capturing that tax revenue was one of my biggest motivations.
Don't kid yourself into thinking no one was smoking pot prior to the 2012 vote. It was just all black market and untaxed. I've written extensively about how to deal with the unintended consequences of legalized marijuana, and the horse is out of the barn when it comes to the sale and taxation of pot. We ought to direct those funds to something as meaningful as mental health.
Even if U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions aggressively starts cracking down on states that have legalized marijuana, it seems unlikely his administration will outlast the court challenges that would ensure. The genie is out of the bottle when it comes to legalized pot.
I've also read that our local hospital should exclusively shoulder the financial burden of funding mental health services, and I don't disagree that Vail Health should be heavily involved. But my understanding is that that the local nonprofit not only endorses 1A but is also deeply involved in discussions about building a comprehensive facility in conjunction with Mountain Family Health Centers. The building would also serve to expand our federally qualified low-income health clinic that's bursting at the seams in its current location in Edwards.
We are all literally in this together, and we need to talk openly and connect as much as we can about mental health and substance abuse issues impacting so many of us here in the Vail Valley.

Home » Fishing Reports » Brook Trout Fishing in 2011 – It's Time!
The weather forecast for last Friday was for a warm day, into the 70s. So I started watching the temperature each day in anticipation, planning to take the day off to try to catch some brook trout in Shenandoah National Park for the first time this year. Friday's weather ended up being similar to Thursday's, but a little warmer and with wind gusts to 30 mph. Minus the wind, it would have been ideal. For the middle of February, it still was. No one can complain about a sunny, 70 degree day in the last few weeks of winter even if it means your rusty casting skills are going to be tested by that stiff breeze. I decided to head out around 8:00 and drive to a stream in the park that I had never fished before.
Three things are unfortunate for each and every one of you who reads this. The first is that this is a stream I rarely hear mentioned, and since I've discovered it is a great stream, I will not name it. No stream in the park is such a big secret, though. Everyone knows that just about every stream there has at least some brook trout. So get a map, find the blue lines and head out there. That's what I do, with the occasional hint from a few books and reports found among those who do the same. I had been eying this stream on the map for a while, but without confirmation of what's there and knowing that a poor fishing spot means an entire day "wasted" (as wasted as a bad day of hiking and fishing can be), I've just never checked it out. Coupled with what looked like some questionable access on the map and some roads that seemed more like suggestions, I wasn't sure what I would be driving into. But I figured now was the time to see. Worst case was I'd be outside sunning myself in the middle of February.
The second unfortunate thing for you is that you were not out there on Friday. No one was out there. Maybe you convinced yourself to save those vacation days for April and May, when the fishing is no doubt at its best in the park. Maybe you thought stiff winds smothering your casts wasn't worth it. Maybe you figured since it's a three day weekend, you'd head up there on Monday, the Presidents' Day Holiday, because you know many have to work and won't be out there trampling on your favorite spots. Whatever the reason, I saw no one all day once I got inside the park boundary. That's not unusual, but it still amazes me.
The third unfortunate thing is that you missed out on some great dry fly fishing in the afternoon. Despite the breeze, I found enough sheltered spots and enough will and technique to get a size 14 Adams where I wanted it to go most of the time. Cutting the wind with a big dry fly and having fish take it, even if they were a little slow, in FEBRUARY, 70 degrees, everyone else is at work… mana.
The stream was right at 40 degrees when I got there. By the time I left it had probably hit 43, according to my very hard to read thermometer. Definitely at least 42. That small warm up seemed to be all it took to get the brookies hitting dry flies drifted over their snouts. Since I wanted to explore this stream a bit, I had first walked upstream a few miles, then turned around and targeted some pools and runs that I then fished upstream in short segments. In the first several pools I had no luck. Then finally a good sized brookie hit my fly. It was a fat male still colored nicely, and as I lazily hoisted him he flipped off back into the pool. Awesome! I ended up not catching as many fish as I would in April or May, but these were all decent fish, similar to the one pictured which was the last one I caught and the slimmest.
As is the case every time I fly fish, I learned or re-learned a few things. It's been months since I've fished a small mountain trout stream, and I think the reason it took me a while to land the first one was impatience. I was not fishing out every pool thoroughly. On a warm winter day, it seemed even more important to give the fish a few looks at the fly rather than one or two drifts like you'd expect in the prime time of spring. The ones I caught were taken after I floated the fly by several times, and the takes were slow, not the lighting fast strikes of spring, summer and fall. The desperate little creatures must think something like this: "Man, I'm sick of winter… Hey, was that a fly floating by? Ain't it a little early? There goes another. Didn't realize I was hungry. And there goes — I'm snaggin' it!" So once I slowed down and methodically fished every seam and pocket I was successful.
I also tried another dry fly floatant, Gink. This stuff works really well. I treated the fly when it was bone dry, and until it was taken and slimed, all it needed was a good shake to restore its high-floating ways. I've got another dry fly floatant to try next time. The stuff I've been using most recently, Loon Aquel, is also good. I would have to try both side-by-side to really compare them. There are so many dry fly floatants and I've only tried a few. Most are silicone, so maybe they're all actually the same. I don't really know for sure.
Anyway, the season is upon us. Winter is revisiting for the next few days, but spring is coming quickly. Get ready.


Are you looking for the perfect child care center or preschool for your little one? You're in luck — it's open house season. Open house events can be incredibly helpful, but they can also be overwhelming. Instead of getting caught in the whirlwind of way too many things to look at in way too short of a time period, plan ahead and think about what to bring, what to ask, and what to look for. Here's how to get ready for a child care center or preschool open house.
Read up ahead of time.
Some child care centers post their policies online, and some might even post a link to their center newsletter. Read what you can before you go to the open house so you have an idea of what the center is like.
Consider these questions to ask at a preschool open house.
Think about what matters most to your family when it comes to choosing a center for your child. Here are some questions to pose to center staff.
What type of curriculum do you follow?
Do children have daily opportunities to choose their own activities?
Is time set aside for small group activities each day?
What credentials do the teachers and directors hold?
Is there a regular nap time?
How do you handle mealtimes? Do you provide breakfast, lunch, and snack?
Does my child need to know how to use the toilet?
How do you approach behavioral issues?
Can I get involved? Are there volunteer opportunities?
Do you offer extracurricular or enrichment activities?
Right now, you might be most interested in the infant room, but a few years down the road, the preschool classroom will be important, too. Get a feel for it all! Pop into each room and speak with each teacher.
Do you see separate areas dedicated to enriching activities, such as art, music, and yoga? Do the classrooms have materials in foreign languages? Does the playground have a garden area full of seasonal vegetables and herbs? Keep your eyes peeled for interesting center features.
You're going to see and hear many different things throughout the short open house period — things you'll want to remember later! Bring something to take notes with, such as a paper and pen or a phone or iPad. The center might also allow you to take pictures, which can help you keep track of the details, like what the playground and enrichment areas look like, how the classrooms are set up, and more.
Choosing a child care center is a big decision, but attending an open house event can help make your choice a bit easier.
Editor's Note: Find a center or preschool open house near you!


Each February, PS ModCom produces a free, self-guided exhibition at the Palm Springs Central Library themed on an architect of historical significance. The Library assists this effort with providing lecture space for talks or presentation of films to small audiences. Thousands of library visitors and tourists take in this exhibit as an Official Modernism Week Event.


We seek to capture the simplest of details from the romantic ruffled petals of a garden rose, to the intricate designs of the winding curving edges created by natures vines.
The name April means "to open", which could be a reference to the opening or blossoming of a flower as is common during the month of April. A wedding also signifies an opening to a new chapter in life and it is an honor to participate in the details of these chapters, helping to bring your vision to life, while bringing joy and beauty to your day.
Your wedding day should reflect your individuality and capture all the emotions leading up to this moment and those that are sure to follow. We would love to be a part of helping to bring your vision to life on this perfect day.
"She sprouted love like flowers, Grew a garden in her mind, And even on the darkest days, From her smile the sun still shined."

The Toronto Children's Chorus is a children's choir based in Toronto. It was founded in 1978 by Jean Ashworth Bartle. The group has close to 500 members aged 6 to 30.

History

In 1982, the choir won first prize at the International Eisteddfod in Wales. Other awards followed, including first place in the prestigious Let the Peoples Sing Competition in 1993 and numerous 1st places in the CBC choral competition.

The Toronto Children's Chorus has performed at Carnegie Hall (1994), the Kennedy Center (1995), the Kimmel Center (2002), Royal Albert Hall (2002), Sydney Opera House (1999), Salzburg Cathedral (2006) and the Stephansdom (2006). The Chorus was also honoured to serve as Artist-in-Residence for international children's choir festivals in Tuscany, Italy (1995) and Sydney, Australia (1999).

In August 2007, Elise Bradley, a New Zealand conductor and teacher previously based in Auckland, became the new Artistic Director of the organization.

Levels

The TCC consists of five main groups: Preparatory Choir, Training Choir I, II and III, and the Toronto Children's Chorus (main choir). In 2012, the Toronto Youth Choir was founded for those who have graduated out of the Main Choir. In the 2019/20 season, the TYC had 65 choristers aged 16 to 30. Children as young as 5 or 6 can audition for the youngest choir, then begin moving up in the training choir levels until they reach the Main Choir. In the Main Choir, there are also several subgroups, including the Cantare and Chorale ensembles. Within Cantare are Apprentices, Senior Apprentices, and full Cantare members. Within the Chorale choir are Chorealis, Chamber, and the Choral Scholars. The Chamber choir is the group that tours, sometimes joined by members of Chorale.

When Rebecca Greene Udden first read Maxim Gorky's play Enemies, "the thing that really struck me about it was the disconnect between the factory owners and the workers. What resonated was the whole 1 percent versus the 99 percent."
Set in a factory in 1905, Maxim Gorky's Enemies shows a Russian society as more than just landed gentry and peasants, but also the increasingly disgruntled middle class.
Factory workers are demanding changes of the two owners, one of whom is sympathetic to them; the other maintains a hard line. The militia is called in with calamitous results.
"It's a great actors' piece. There's lots of characters in it," says Udden, the director of this production and artistic director of Main Street Theater. It was precisely for that reason that the University of Houston couldn't tackle it by itself, she says, and Rob Shimko, director of the UH School of Theatre & Dance suggested it to her. Besides the large cast (which does include some UH students), there are a number of "mature roles," in the play, she says.
Gorky's work is not well known in the United States, other than for his play The Lower Depths (1902). His plays are often compared to those of the much more famous Chekhov in terms of themes. In and out of exile from Russia for many years, Gorky (whose real name was Alexei Maximovich Peshkov) eventually returned for good in 1932 when Stalin was in power. He died in 1936.
Performances are scheduled for September 16 through October 15 at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays at Main Street Theater – Rice Village, 2540 Times Boulevard. For information, call 713-524-6706 or visit mainstreettheater.com. $36 to $45.


Are you putting things off until later? Do you find yourself rushing to complete tasks at the last minute? Procrastination is very unhealthy. It can create unnecessary stress that could have been avoided. Everyone has their own unique reason for why they procrastinate. There are times when we procrastinate because we are dealing with a difficult situation. The easiest solution at the time is to put the task off until later. Procrastination can become a way of life, if you don't make an effort to break that habit. It is not the norm for most individuals, but we all deal with some level of unnecessary delay. For example, you could say that you will take out the trash later when you could take it now. It isn't major, but it still qualifies as procrastination. It is important not to prolong things unnecessarily. If you procrastinate all the time, you may find it very difficult to handle unexpected events that may occur in your life. Individuals who truly understand the importance of time will try minimize their procrastination. Tomorrow isn't promised to you, do what you can today.
