Kirby H. has responded that she was sick and didn't want to spread germs. That she did arrive at the forum, shortly after Sybil Barnes (who arrived late), and stood at the back of the room because she was concerned for other people's well-being. In two years, the story will morph into her being the only one who attended the forum, having to run it extemporaneously because Town Clerk Williamson was standing at the back of the room puking her guts out. How about not coming and exposing a room full of oldsters to fomites from a respiratory illness? How about telling a cub reporter "Hey, I was sick, I don't need the publicity, I was sitting (or standing, who knows how sick someone is when they are certainly not sick enough to avoid engaging in conversation with others at the conclusion of the event, and why do we need young trustees who are constantly ill, talk about a bad sign) in the back sick and probably not your best witness to the events that unfolded, and ther...

Kirby H. was asked by the T-G cub reporter Will Oster via email on January 3 to essential do his job for him (because he was too lazy or too distant from Estes Park to attend), asking our talking trustee to essentially "cover" the candidate forum for him, the hour-long presentation held in the town hall on January 2. Kirby H. was not in attendance, at least she was not in the building at the time the event started at 6:00 p.m., and not seated in any of the rows provided for people in attendance at any point during the presentation. She was seen standing in the back of the room at the end, and may have been there for 15 minutes prior to the event officially ending, but she never made her presence known (unlike Frank Lancaster, for example, or Travis Machalek) and who in the hell stands in the back of a room to "participate" in an event unless they are spying or scared? Would you elect a trustee who spent every board meeting hiding in the bushes outside? And then,...

Here is part of what I sent to the T-G yesterday, well before deadline (I also sent them an earlier email with an exact tally of which trustees were in attendance, plus any spouses, and a head count of who was in the audience and who picked up candidate packets): In any event, if Kirby doesn't respond and you need the nuts and bolts of what happened, Town Clerk Williamson spoke first for the first thirty minutes with a Power Point presentation outlining the qualifications needed to become a candidate (18 years old, residence in town for at least one year), the petition candidates need to circulate to get on the ballot (10 signatures of voters who live in town), how your name can appear on the ballot, the important deadlines if you want to be a write-in candidate or want to withdraw, the lot drawing for order on the ballot, the date the ballots go out, the date of the LWV forum, the day of the actual election, etc., and then spent more time talking about campaign laws and funding a...

The Stanley has sold, or found someone to swallow their debt, or something. I have no idea who will actually be in charge of the Stanley from February 2024 forward after yet another breathless, provocative, and completely unintelligible announcement from John Cullen. Regardless of the size and scope of the project, Master Cullen is always talking about running out of breath and having to physically move mountains and somehow surviving a 4-vessel coronary for every undertaking he undertakes (while barely avoiding the undertaker) - I wonder if just preparing to eat a healthy breakfast causes him similar exertion and oh so much drama? Whatever, we common folk can't begin to imagine the complex world of high finance: chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://17565969725349410953.googlegroups.com/attach/698388a530a43/Iconic%20Stanley%20Hotel%20to%20sell%20to%20Arizona%20nonprofit%20%E2%80%93%20BizWest.pdf?part=0.1&view=1&vt=ANaJVrGviozE9XrHOQAB0wcaqzvjVtI...

This should be the headline, although when the Trail-Gazette finally publishes something in two weeks, the first draft in the online version will likely read (similar to their ongoing inability to clearly state who won the recent school board election without putting the English language in a headlock): Major Kwanvig in the majority under no longer despite with which to

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

Back when the Nature Conservancy was pretending to have to lobby the town board for vendor space in the Estes Park Visitor's Center, one of their selling points was that once they were in place, a real live expert on Rocky Mountain National Park would be available to answer visitor questions. Previously, they contended, or our town administrator contended, all questions related to Rocky Mountain National Park had to be deferred, because the volunteer staff wasn't qualified or authorized to answer them. Everyone who attended this sham hearing knew the town board would unanimously approve the Nature Conservancy becoming the sole vendor in the one place that gets ths highest guaranteed traffic every day of the year, so I hope they had to provide some type of sexual favors to staff, because otherwise this was an empty exercise all around, and the town bent over once again without having any feelings of self-worth to show for it: I entered the Visitor's Center today, and th...
