Sedgwick County and the city of Thornton are the newest Colorado members of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities. They join 20 other Colorado counties or localities that are also members, including places like Carbondale. The city’s age-friendly efforts have included repairing sidewalks and placing benches around the city to provide rest stops for walkers.

AARP Executive Vice President Nancy LeaMond released the following statement in reaction to House Budge Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s FY2015 budget proposal:
You’re walking your dog on a fine spring day, enjoying the exercise and the warmer weather, when your dog spots another dog walking straight toward you. Your dog begins to bark, pulls at the leash, lunges for the other dog, acting as though he’s ready for a fight. What do you do?
