I love Hallowe’en. I love the scary decorations, haunted houses, and especially trick-or-treating. When I was a child I made my own costumes, built around the most hideous mask I could find. Confession: I trick-or-treated until I was a senior in high school – scrunched down to try and blend in with the kiddies – but the neighbors caught on …

Hi all, Sydney Freeland, a filmmaker who visited Parker last month as part of the Native Visions film festival, is looking for funds to finish her feature film Drunktown’s Finest. Sydney has a $30,000 goal set on Kickstarter, with various incentives offered in return for your help. So go check it out! The movie is about life on the reservation …

Our country began in debt. In 1776, the most important task facing the Founders was to win the Revolutionary War. If they had lost, the leaders would have been executed for treason. As Benjamin Franklin said “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately,” As we have all seen over the past decade, wars cost money, …

If I had a buck for every call, email, text message or comment where someone asked a variation of the question, “What’s up with Parker Live?”, I could buy my own comedian to follow me around and distract me with mirth from the horribleness of dealing with our hosting company over the past few days.

Everyone goes through times in their lives when things just don’t seem to work right at all. The situation goes from bad to worse and you can end up feeling pretty low. I wonder if that could be true of seasons and months as well? The other day I was wondering about how it would feel to be October and …

Watch as I try to stop a ‘girl’ jumping off a building. (This is the result of not being able to sleep and staying up until 5am, a decision I’m now regretting. As I watch this now, I realize there’s no point to it at all, which is why I’m sharing it with you on Parker Live.)

I had it all planned out I tell you, and it was a thing of beauty. I knew exactly what I was going to do in August and what I was going to write for this column as well. But then a little something came up that I hadn’t planned and knocked all my plans into a cocked hat. That …

Vote for Linny by clicking HERE. A friend of the Parker area since she rode her horse through the town on her way across America a few years ago, Linny Kenney is now a frontrunner in Martha Stewart’s American Made competition. Linny first appeared in Parker in 2010 with her horse Sojourner. She came on my show on KLPZ 1380am …

Though the Founding Fathers never called their vision for our country “the American Dream”, the idea stems from the Declaration of Independence and is embodied in the phrase “all men are created equal” with the right to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” When they spoke of Liberty, they didn’t mean just religious or political liberty, they also meant …

That’s right: Parker Live’s extended outage over the weekend was caused by too many people wanting to check the site for updates on Friday afternoon. In the rush for information about the APS power outage, Parker Live servers blew up and – because it was affecting other websites hosted on the same server – our hosting provider InMotion pulled Parker …
