For the first time since this artificial metric was introduced


Red alert:  This afternoon, October 8, 2020, at 21:41 p.m. GMT, the Larimer County risk "needle" for coronavirus edged into the "high" category.  Whether or not this is an actual emergency ("this is a test, this is only a test, of the Emergency Red Needle System") remains to be seen, meaning don't tune into local AM 1470, now or ever, because that frequency is only used to ad nauseam promote Elk Fest and dialing before your dig.  

Did Wendy Koenig-Schuett know she was going to be elected mayor during a pandemic?  She claims "no", but all signs on the Magic 8 Ball point to YES, as the outbreak hit our shores in February 2020, and she was elected in April 2020.  Unless she was in a coma, or doesn't understand the nature of transmission.  Whether or not she is capable of governing during a pandemic is another question.  Was a former railroad construction worker the best qualified to finish the job on the Panama Canal?  No, that required an Army engineer.  So is there anything in Generalissimo Koenig's background that would necessarily indicate she is the best person for this job as hospitals start to refill?  Well, how many mayor's chats have prepared the public for this inevitability?  The current odometer reads "Zero".  But I'm sure some are in the offing.  In the spring of 2024, right before she files for re-election.

The Estes Park Economic Development Corporation (EPEDC) is patting itself on the back because "the award for 'Small Community of  the Year' was presented" to them by the Economic Development Council of Colorado (EDCC) "on behalf of a town that sets its sights on building a more resilient, inclusive, and vibrant community and economy after recovering from the devastating Colorado floods in 2013." How has the following economic development been beneficial to Estes Park? The Estes Park Event Center, completed in spring 2014, has not brought all the big events expected from outside of our community.  It is not profitable. The Estes Park Medical Center (i.e., Park Hospital District) did not have the money to build the EPMC/Anschutz Wellness Training Center within the two years specific in the "Contract for Sale of Lot 4" to John Cullen, owner of the Stanley Hotel (i.e., Grand Heritage Hotel Group, LLC).  Since the money was not raised, according ...

I'm always fascinated by the question of why Marie Cenac entered local politics

Image
Trustee Cenac is very anti-government involvement in constituents' problems, which is interesting, since she takes up one of the precious six seats on the town board, which is ostensibly a local government entity, organized to protect and serve the local taxpayers. If you go back through any noise ordinance discussion over the past six years, you will find, without fail, when she buzzes in to talk (and she never feels uncompelled to share this laissez faire opinion), that she constantly and consistently lectures the audience on where they choose to live determining whether they have any right to complain. This is known as victim blaming - If you are raped, it is because of the way you dress, if your business is vandalized by a customer bent on destruction, it is because your windows aren't strong enough to withstand getting hit with a large rock, and, God forbid, if you can't tolerate 14 straight hours of 100+ decibel noise, it is because your ears are pansies and you pic...

Okay so I'll say it

Jeez we have a bunch of milquetoast pretend journalists in town. The guy who was arrested locally a few clicks back, Keaton M.A. Krell, is the same guy who sexually assaulted a bunch of underage females in Linn County, Kansas, and, brazenly, got away with it. The airtight connection is through his wife or ex-wife or whoever star pupil and non-profit wunderkind Candace Krell is. But even then, c'mon, how many folks named Keaton M.A. Krell are running around diddling little girls? Get some cojones, POR (paper of record) and POR (podcast of record). You did the work (sort of) now publish the findings. Stop hiding behind the town as an excuse to avoid going to press - the PIO and TA aren't going to give you anything because they are scared of their own shadows. For the low IQ crowd and too easily unconvinced: Note how Candace Krell used to give her home address on LinkedIn as Estes Park, Colorado Here's another big whoopsie And this And this And this
