Congratulations to the newly-elected trustees

Throughout the campaign, I have only had good things to say about the campaign and the preparation of our newly elected board member Kirby Nelson-Hazelton.

If you don't believe me, you can check it out yourself at the Colorado Switchblade on-line, an interview that was conducted two weeks ago.

So do not in any way construe this as sour grapes or a gotcha post.  I'm not forwarding these photos on to the town or state, I don't care one bit, it was a free and fair election and Kirby Nelson-Hazelton got more votes than the incumbents, which is impressive in its own right.  I only want to know where I can get those free yard signs next election.

 

This is from the town website.  It is not something I dug through the trash to get, it is right there if you search "election" and order the results by most recent.  I am not claiming it means anything more than a declaration that no money was declared expended during the reporting period 3/15/22 to 4/1/22

    Hi John - I emailed this to you as well, but here is a link to my finance report for period 1/5/22-3/15/22: https://dms.estes.org/weblink/ElectronicFile.aspx?docid=194077&dbid=0, which includes the yard signs. They were unfortunately not free. :)

    You can find this on the same page you found my report for 3/15/22-4/1/22, which is www.estes.org/candidates. It's linked as the "March 15, 2022" report.

      Thanks for the quick response Trustee Nelson-Hazelton. I didn’t know you could switch back and forth between forms, but I have an appointment with the Town Clerk next week and hope to learn more about campaign finance so I don’t have to campaign in perpetual fear next time - take the free Post lunch, turn down the free Post lunch, take the gift watch, turn down the gift watch, etc.

Getting Hostiles

Image
According to the IMDb website, some portion of the movie Hostiles was filmed in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Does this look like Pagosa Springs? The movie is gorgeously shot, and the locations are breathtaking.  Being somewhat familiar with Pagosa Springs, though, I'm having trouble matching any of the exteriors with anything within a 10-mile radius of Pagosa Springs. According to IMDb The railway station at Chama, New Mexico served as the stand-in for Butte, Montana.  Chama is about 50 miles away from Pagosa Springs, and Pagosa Springs definitely sent some of its own down to Chama to serve as extras, one of whom is currently pedaling coal from the Chama location on Ebay. A big-budget movie filming in a community of 2000 is generally a newsworthy event.  Filming of Hostiles took place in the summer of 2016, and Pagosa Springs' newspaper of record, the Sun , made no mention of stars Christian Bale, Rosamund Pike, Wes Studi, or director Scott Cooper hanging out at P

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

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
