How many ways can people screw up when trying to bend the landbase to their will? The following story by Pam Zubeck of the Colorado Springs Independent starts to add them up. Bring your calculator. By Pam Zubeck @PZubeck Tamarisk’s frothy branches of pink and green embellish creeks and river banks — a haze of […]

Stay in school, kids. Or if not, stay out of government. Because when you misunderstand fundamental notions like ‘sustainability’, you can make stupid decisions. The Castle Rock government’s ignorance of such a basic concept, left unchecked, would wreak damage on the Front Range’s land base in and near the municipality. At the May 5 Town […]

After several days of warning signs growing clearer, Peter Cudlip’s Alberta Development agents today began the first of a two-day mass killing of the prairie dogs on the site of the planned Promenade Mall. A Denver television station was on hand for much of the carnage, and Fox31 Denver posted this video: “Poisoning of prairie […]

Fox 21 Denver reported on the meeting: http://kdvr.com/2015/03/03/castle-rock-approves-mega-mall-after-heated-hearing-over-prairie-dogs/ As with the last session, many activists and lovers of […]

What’s wrong with this picture? It didn’t take much research to uncover the disingenuousness of Mayor Donahue’s comments at the February 17 Castle Rock Town Council Meeting. At that gathering, Donahue summarily dismissed nearly 25 testimonials (1½ hours of public comment, i.e.) opposed to the construction of the Promenade Mall, muttering comments about ‘jobs’ and […]
