Original post of Feb. 4, 2012:
(See one of the related stories that's out there in the blogosphere here)
(whisper...whisper...whisper...lol....wonder how long it will take Rick Carroll to realize he's being punked by not looking deep enough into Mulcahy's details before he writes a flamer...whisper...whisper.....oh, what tangled webs are woven when one is a reporter who just keeps waving red flags in front of really ticked off consumers...whisper...whisper...whisper....here's to the little guy...let freedom ring....whisper...whisper...whisper....)
'SandBox Nanny' to Lee Mulcahy:
"Now, Lee. avatars in commentary everywhere know how much fun you're having with the strategy you have chosen to handle the Art Museum case. But don't you think it's time to grant an interview to the press and reveal the formal ban letter you received from the museum? You know, that one that everybody but the press has seen that specifically states you cannot attend their functions, etc. etc. yet they took your $600 bucks plus as a member at the same time?
Seriously. It probably won't help Rick out at all but Chad Abraham over on the Aspen Daily is a nice guy and his coverage of the local area crime and justice beat is the best around. Even Chad is sounding a little confused today: "Lawsuit: Man's ban from future museum site unconstitutional"
'Nanny' is asking you to think about this. The Kaplan libel suit is the seriously concerning to Skico and the community at large suit and the Aspen Art Museum is also serious because they are way off base and out of line with any measure of common sense. But to keep these reporters running around in circles is is a little bit harsh, wouldn't you say?
For what it's worth, here's a suggestion.
Call a press phone conference and let them have at you. Ask whatever they want. One time shot only. Maybe invite Richie Cohen and a few others. Or, if you have your public stocks built yet and are ready to place yourself in them on the Hyman Mall; hold the press conference right before somebody like Richie locks your head down.
Just try to not toy with them for too long, OK? It's important to always at least try to place nice in the SandBox."

SandBox Comments: Aspen Times/Bruno Kirchenwitz "Tax dollars at work"
And then there are those out in the public commentary that have spent the last few years pushing away the denial of local governments and power brokers to the point that when they speak up, the entire valley listens.
Who needs the Steve Skinners and SandBoxBlogs of the world when we have Bruno Kirchenwitz?
Bruno Kirchenwitz:
"...If we want to retain the “good” teachers, why were all the teachers rewarded with those ill-conceived bonuses? Because the union says there is no objective way to economically discern between the good and the not so good.
I do hope all those generous taxpayers learn this union lesson well and remember when it comes hat in hand the next time, begging “for the children.”

SandBox Comments: Aspen Daily News "Flying Tomato a cash cannonball"
How many actual reads per day do you think SandBox gets on all local and regional tourism, government and law enforcement news?
Where do you think those reads come from?
How many times per day, after someone in a significant position of power within those three news arenas reads SandBox for the day; do others pound away at that post and take a look for themselves as word spreads?
Dozens. We may be read by others in clandestine ways, a 'guilty obsession' if you will; but we are read. Especially the public comments.
Our local newspapers used to enjoy that notoriety until they began to censor and ban content.
Why is that statement above important on a post up of Steve Skinner's column today?
Because of the way he wrote what he has to say.
Brilliantly done, Skinner pounds a square peg into a round hole by using words. Forcing, simply by the honesty of his words, local governments and power brokers to pay attention with focus aimed at our valley wide tourism marketing and how we spend public funds.
In reality, not disinformation or preconceived perception; what/who is 'SandBox Nanny'?
Why, she's nothing more, in reality, than a pen name and third-party persona that posts and comments on a news aggregate blog. That is all 'she' is. 'SandBox Nanny' is spinning a story in a certain number of words or less. Is it her life story? In reality and the genre of spin and stories told, she is a pen name and third-party persona.
Who is Steve Skinner, in reality? Why, he is nothing more than a guy who happens to write an opinion column for the Aspen Daily News. Will his opinion change as life goes on? Maybe. If so, his column will change. Steve Skinner is spinning a story in a certain number of words or less. Outside of that, he is the same average, everyday person as you are.
Reality, is that both have something to say to the consumer of local news and both provide an outlet for the folks to join in the dialog. When they say what they have to say, most often their words are aimed at public figures and entities in positions of trust. In the case of 'SandBox Nanny' she's simply rounding up content and putting it into the kind of perspective that keeps the door open for individual thought.
From the very well done work of Skinner today, up on the Aspen Daily, it appears that those consumers are listening. Are they listening to both entities?
Probably so.
What do you think?
Would it 'less painful' for those tourism, government and law enforcement entities to hear same, similar or highly likely far more brutal honesty from the folks writing in to their own publications? Probably not. At least entities like SandBox, the Aspen Daily and so many other independent media probably hope not. After all, their very existence and success is based on Independence and voices raised in the power of free speech.
But if folks could go directly to the source of their angst, at least our local media would be dealing with reality instead of continuing to try to pass the buck of responsibility for all their ills off on to individuals like 'SandBox Nanny' and opinion columnists like Steve Skinner.

Steve Skinner:
"...This reminds me of how wonderful a tourist economy can be. People come in from all over. They are in a great mood, on vacation and ready to have as much fun as possible. They fill the hotels and restaurants, rent gear, hire taxis, fill the liquor stores and boutiques and then — perhaps best of all — they leave.
Over the past few decades, Aspen got off track by inviting people to buy property here, not just showing them a world class time. Instead of sending them home with memories, we sent them home with timeshares, deeds for land and a piece of the dream. “OWN ASPEN,” one real estate ad crowed.
Despite compromising over the years, Aspen still has some great tourist juice and other communities in the valley could learn a thing or two about what attracts people to come and spend money.
Tourists really like to have something to do. Maybe a concert, a festival, a fair, a bike race, a car show, a drinking competition, weed expo, whatever. Just being in proximity to these kinds of activities has created our “bedroom communities” and now many of them (us) are looking for ways to create jobs and stimulate the bedrooms. None of this will be necessary if SkiCo keeps bringing acts into town like the Flying Tomato.
A family of four from out of state was visiting for the X Games. They were staying in Rifle and spent time at Ski Sunlight, the Glenwood Hot Springs pool, Fatbelly Burgers in Carbondale and, of course, Buttermilk Mountain. They left the area on Monday with plenty of swag, a family vacation in the bag and a strong desire to return for more frolic, maybe in the summer...."

SandBox Comments: Eagle County Times "School Board – Update – January, 23rd 2012"
Hey! ECT guys!
Love the new look.
Really like the expanding out into the somewhat dark side of news aggregation and guest writers. Welcome.
Can hardly wait to see you move "at the Speed of Thought" through that realm. Sort of feels to 'Nanny' like the old Tonto and Kemo Sabe debate:
"Tonto: Kemo Sabe! What you do?
TLR: I think Silver can make it, Tonto. Can't you, old boy?"
We KNOW the ECT guys can make it.
Another terrific (and a lot more hard work to put out) op-ed piece from that very special lady, Marty Lich.

SandBox Comments: Colorado Statesman "Hickenlooper tosses COIN into economic development pool"
Hick's doing a very good job, even all the red out here thinks so. So far, he's walking the talk. His latest addition to his Bottom-Up Economic Development Plan is COIN (Colorado Innovation Network). There's a little bit of dissent but not much. Overall, the concept is sound, the idea is terrific and the execution clearly viable.
"Gov. John Hickenlooper announced on Monday the creation of a statewide initiative designed to bring together inventors and entrepreneurs with an aim of increasing the number of manufacturing jobs in Colorado while boosting the state’s reputation as a hotbed of innovation.
Pointing to areas around the country that combine cutting-edge research with market-shaking entrepreneurial zeal — from California’s Silicon Valley to comparable corridors in Massachusetts and North Carolina — Hickenlooper said it was time for Colorado to do what it can to join those ranks.
The state, he said, has “The Colorado advantage — we are almost perfectly poised to be a center where (there is) that kind of acceleration of taking a new idea and translating it into new jobs....”

SandBox Comments: Intellectual Conservative "Interference of the Tortious Kind This Way Comes"
"Politicians who interfere with the building of the oil pipeline are really committing tortious acts, even though they suffer immunity as members of Congress.
Politicians are wicked beasts. Some people believe this is due to their lack of a moral compass. The truth however is that these heinous creatures do indeed have a moral compass. However it operates on a reverse polarity from reality and points as far away from true north as possible. This causes them to predictably do what is exactly the wrong thing in any given situation except by some sheer preponderance of luck brought on by the proper alignment of the planets in the solar system...."
