Estes Park, School Board Candidates, Speak Up this weekend's community meet and greet.The candidate talks start at approximately (14:37) in the podcast, followed immediately by the interview with the Teachers' Union Representatives (31:55), followed by an in-depth sit-down interview with two candidates: Gaining Personal Insights into Estes Park School Board Candidates (41:55).Greetings and salutations, Switchblade listeners and substack readers! Welcome to a special edition where we dive into the ongoings and future plans for the Estes Park School District through the lens of candidates vying for a spot on its Board of Education. This is the first of a three-part series where we dissect and analyze the stances, visions, and thoughts presented by candidates and representatives from different entities tied to our school district.Brenda L. Wyss: Advocating for Academic Improvement and Mental HealthIn our recent candidate forum, Brenda Wyss introduced herself as a dedicated parent and a professional in local government, having lived in Estes Park for nearly a decade. Though she lacks formal teacher training, her stint teaching English in Japan and extensive tutoring experience have provided her with relevant educational insights.Brenda expressed concerns regarding academic achievement within the schools, highlighting the indispensable yet not all-encompassing role of state testing as a measure of educational success. The alarmingly high number of students battling mental health issues is something Brenda seeks to address by endorsing the new strategic plan's focus on wellness. Her vision involves equipping students with strategies and resources to navigate their mental health challenges effectively.Brad Shocat: A Focus on Quality Over QuantityBrad Shocat, a parent to two boys in the district and spouse to a high school teacher, comes forward with an engineering and MBA background. He brings forth a pragmatic perspective, believing that the district is currently spread too thin, trying to achieve too many objectives at once. Brad proposes a narrower focus, zeroing in on a few pivotal areas to ensure quality and effectiveness in implementation. This, he argues, is crucial, especially considering that current math and English scores indicate significant room for improvement in the basic academic foundation of students.Both candidates were concerned about scores, indicating that only a third of the students are passing math and roughly two-thirds in English. There's a shared belief between Brad and Brenda that strategic, focused improvement is needed across the board.Addressing Teacher Retention and HousingA hot topic that emerged during the forum was the challenge of teacher retention, which is intertwined with the issue of affordable housing in the district. Brenda hinted at the need to address the problem directly and aggressively to attract and maintain quality teaching staff, albeit recognizing budget constraints and her limited ability to promise specific outcomes.Both Brenda and Brad expressed their intention to promote greater collaboration between the town and schools. They pointed towards the need for the school district to utilize better local resources, volunteer organizations, and philanthropic entities to meet its various needs.Union Endorsement and TransparencyThe candidates were also endorsed by the Estes Park Education Association (the teacher union). To secure this endorsement, they underwent a rigorous vetting process, including responding to an extensive list of questions and participating in an interview with a panel of teachers.Transparency and active participation are the common threads in Brenda's and Brad's campaigns. They are willing to engage in various forums, including the upcoming League of Women Voters forum and another at the proposed charter school location. The aim is to provide comprehensive insights into their thoughts, plans, and values and ensure the public is informed and engaged.On the Charter School ProposalInterestingly, the charter school proposal from the last election became a focal point of the conversation, with both candidates officially documenting their opposition to it. Brenda is keen on supporting and enhancing existing institutions without diluting public school funding. Similarly, while acknowledging the validity of questioning and exploring options like a charter school, Brad aligns with the community's dominant voice from the previous year, which opposed the charter school, especially in light of declining, not increasing, student enrollment.In the second part of our series of interviews in today's podcast episode, we sit down for an enlightening dialogue recently featured on "The Colorado Switchblade," two representatives from the Estes Park Teachers Union peeled back layers, revealing the depth and complexity of thoughts, concerns, and hopes harbored within the educational community as a potentially pivotal school board election looms on the horizon.Andrew Virdin, a high school English teacher and president of the Estes Park Education Association (EPEA), and Glenn Case, the EPEA secretary and treasurer, articulated a collective feeling of utmost importance encircling the impending election. The conversation underscored the universal sentiment that this election could carve out the future trajectory of education in Estes Park, revealing patterns and challenges that parallel other regions.A Pivotal Election Amidst a Politicized LandscapeThe election is enveloped by a heightened politicization of school boards, a phenomenon that does not exclude Estes Park. Verdon and Case elucidated the criticality of the situation, flagging concerns about candidates potentially being disengaged from the actual work and environment within the schools. The burgeoning fear is that this disconnect could curtail the effective translation of policy to practice, potentially hindering the advancement of educational quality and equity within the district.With a lens on political hedging and the infiltration of externally funded candidates, Verdon emphasized the necessity of "rolling up sleeves" and diving into the educational trenches, becoming attuned to the authentic needs and challenges faced by schools, educators, and students alike.Teachers: The Silent Stakeholders?Despite being fundamental stakeholders, teachers find themselves in a complex predicament, maintaining a careful balance between political neutrality and active civic engagement. The dialogue sheds light on the subtle pressures and concerns that teachers navigate, ensuring that their political stances or affiliations do not inadvertently seep into the educational space, thereby maintaining an unbiased student environment.Case illuminated this by noting, "There are other teachers who very much feel like the expectation is that they're entirely a neutral voice in that classroom space and that they don't ever let any kind of political opinion come through."The Call for Civic EngagementIn a notable plea resonating through the interview, both representatives advocated for a robust electorate turnout, regardless of individual political alignments and anticipated election outcomes. A unified hope emerged: that candidates who engage significantly and adhere appropriately to the civic process will move forward, ensuring a future where educational policies are molded with genuine involvement and understanding of the educational realm.Charter School Propositions and Community Decision-MakingThe need for community involvement and thorough decision-making processes was amplified through discussions on charter school propositions and administrative decisions. The Estes Park educational community, encompassing teachers, administrators, and committees like the District Action and Accountability Committee (DAC), has actively evaluated and discussed educational propositions and initiatives.In Virdin's words, “Whatever the community decides, I'll stand by that,” echoing a commitment to community-driven decision-making and a veiled hope that the upcoming election will mirror the collective will of an actively engaged electorate.Forward MotionAs the Estes Park community inches closer to a seminal moment that could very well shape its educational future, the call for active, involved, and informed civic participation has never been louder. The forthcoming chapters will reveal how well the electorate responds to this call, determining the future course for educators and students alike in Estes Park.Behind the Campaigns: Gaining Personal Insights into Estes Park School Board CandidatesIn the final segment of today's episode of "The Colorado Switchblade," listeners were offered a window into the lives, motivations, and perspectives of two candidates vying for a spot in the crucial upcoming Estes Park School Board election. Engaging in an in-depth dialogue, the candidates unpacked their journeys, passions, and visions for the future of Estes Park schools.A Commitment Beyond Politics: Meeting The CandidatesIn an atmosphere where the local intertwines with the political, the candidates opened up about their respective paths, which led them to throw their hats in the ring for this pivotal election. One candidate expressed a decade-long relationship with Estes Park, sharing experiences from teaching English in Japan to fervent volunteering in local schools, all underlined by a steadfast passion for education. Another brought forward a blend of technical and managerial expertise, an MBA and engineering background, and a palpable commitment to being a hands-on parent and community member.Fusing Personal Experience with Policy: Housing and EducationThe housing crisis in Estes Park is not just a talking point for these candidates; it's a lived reality. One shared a personal journey of grappling with housing affordability, culminating in building a home with Habitat for Humanity and, eventually, delving into a career focused on affordable housing in nearby Boulder. The infusion of personal and professional insights into housing challenges offers a promising bridge between understanding community issues and advocating for policies that can drive change. The proposed connection between stable housing, community sustainability, and school enrollment was a poignant touch, revealing the interconnectedness of local issues.Vision for Educational Enhancement: Business and Administrative ExpertiseNavigating through the nuances of school administration, Brenda Wyss radiated spirited support for the current superintendent, citing a history of competent and compassionate educational administration. Meanwhile, Brad Shocat, leveraging a robust business background, hinted at ensuring impactful and cost-effective strategies to be implemented in the district, aiming to align and amplify the teachers' hard work already being put in.The Path Ahead: A Blend of Administration and InvolvementWith a unified acknowledgment of the significance of the upcoming election, the candidates shared glimpses of their visions for Estes Park schools. From exploring innovative solutions like guaranteeing preschool spots for district employees' children to being unwavering supporters of the existing educational leadership, the candidates illustrated a readiness to think both within and outside of conventional policy boxes.In an election underscored by tangible and aspirational community needs, the candidates presented themselves as political entities and as parents, professionals, and community members deeply intertwined in the fabric of Estes Park's daily life. The ongoing dialogue fostered a platform where personal experiences, professional expertise, and policy perspectives melded, offering listeners a holistic view of the candidates stepping forward to shape the educational future of Estes Park.Jason Van Tatenhove is the author of the non-fiction book ‘The Perils of Extremism.'

In this episode, I delve into the journey of A.J. Piplica, CEO of Hermeus, a hypersonic airplane company. A Star Trek-inspired fascination for aerospace, nurtured during his time studying at Georgia Tech and working at NASA, guided Piplica into his first professional role at Spaceworks Engineering. It was here he got an opportunity to lead Generation Orbit (GO), a subsidiary focusing on hypersonic aircraft.Intriguingly, the seeds of Hermeus were sown at GO, where Piplica worked closely with Glenn Case, Skyler Shuford, and Mike Smayda, the future co-founders of Hermeus. They left the secure but limiting confines of GO to embark on a daring venture — Hermeus, betting on an audacious dream with six months of self-funded effort. Their journey involved facing skepticism, refining their business pitch, and navigating through a challenging investment landscape.Their resilience paid off when Khosla Ventures, despite early setbacks, funded them to build a prototype engine. After demonstrating their technology's capabilities, the team managed to secure significant funding during a difficult pandemic-hit period, fuelled in part by contracts from the Air Force. The funding was used to build Chimera, their first full-scale engine capable of transitioning from an afterburning turbojet to a pure ramjet.As Hermeus continues to grow, Piplica stresses the importance of hitting regular milestones, bridging funding gaps, and maintaining operations and growth. The process, he shares, involves a steep learning curve about government contracts, building lasting relationships, and responding promptly to shifting mission requirements. The vision is clear: to develop hypersonic technology that can cover large distances quickly, operate in contested environments, and rapidly adapt to changing mission needs.

Independent musician Glenn Case is back, this time on an album discussion episode! After winning the PLAY DISC Request Lottery at the end of last episode, Glenn agreed to join us for the discussion on The Dismemberment Plan's 1999 album Emergency & I. OVer the course of our conversation, we discuss... Glenn's occasional correspondence with Dismemberment Plan frontman Travis Morrison, including Morrison's reaction upon learning we were doing this episode Jon and Harrison's difficulty in trying to identify any preceding influence that might explain this album The multiple songs on this album that have odd time signatures, and the one where it was most noticeable ("Is there such thing as seven-and-a-half over four?") The relationship between computer coding and writing these types of songs The early articulation of the idea of "emotional labor" in "Memory Machine" Some discordant vocal melody choices and how they lead to "breakthroughs" as the songs evolve The album's themes of loneliness, struggle, isolation, desperation... The human condition Comparing the hormonal libidinous "Girl O'Clock" with Joe Jacksons' hormonal libidinous "Pretty Girls" Harrison finds an unlikely point of comparison in an anime (who had that on their Bingo card?)

Dale announces that he will be going on the CigarTourism.com 2012 trip to Nicaragua/Honduras. If you want to join Dale on the trip, sign up now before all the seats are gone! A few places on the Dominican Republic trip are also still available. There are two contests this month: 1) Enter guest host Craig Schneider's Esencia Contest by sending in your review or "experience" of smoking an Esencia cigar to theshow@cigarmedia.tv.

Factory: Plascencia Cigars in Esteli, Nicaragua Wrapper: Honduras Connecticut Binder: Nicaragua Filler: Esteli, Condega Comes in 6 sizes: Corona 5.5x42 Robusto: 5x50 Toro: 50x46 Churchill: 48x7 Torpedo: 6.5x52 Gordo: 6x60 What else have you been smokin' Dale? Saint Luis Rey Double Coronas 49 x 194 (7.6”) - It is officially fall now, and I think of smoking Habanos more this time of year then any other. Don’t know why, just seems like the Cuban flavors fit the season. I pulled out this Prominentes vitola to enjoy during a pre-season hockey game. Maybe one of my favorites in this size, the cigar is medium bodied, smooth and quite complex. A mild sweetness is apparent throughout the cigar, complimenting the floral, coffee, leather and other earthy flavors. With rich aromas, a great draw and producing a lot of smoke, this cigar is a fantastic companion when one is looking for a 2 hr mini vacation! Master by Carlos Torano Torpedo 6.25” x 52 - After featuring this cigar recently on DWCR, I can’t get enough of these excellent cigars! I find them medium bodied and full flavored with great balance. The room aroma is magnificent, sweet and rich. On the palette, a myriad of flavors can easily be picked out, and all are savory & delish! Caramel, cedar, cocoa, spice and an occasional whiff of citrus. Very smooth and easy to smoke, but also holds one’s interest. Wrapper is Ecuador Habano, binder is Esteli Nicaraguan and the filler is Esteli & Jalapa Nicaraguan. Add the easy-on-the-wallet price of under $6 and you have a real value cigar! What else have you been smokin' Bob? Kristoff GC Signature Series - This week I was afforded an opportunity to try one of these new smokes from Glenn Case thanks to Tom at Duque Cigars in Indialantic, FL. I was excited to try this smoke because as you may recall, I was a big supporter of his earlier efforts to break into the value priced cigar world with tasteful cigars. Unfortunately, by 2010, the Kristoff line of cigars had become distasteful examples of contract manufacturing. It has been that long since I got the courage to try another Kristoff product. And so it was that I looked forward to this stogie as I sat down to enjoy a fine NFL game. Strangely enough, the cigar and NFL experience were eerily similar in that both suffered from a lack of balance, bad taste and inconsistency. For the NFL, this was exemplified by the Jags vs Carolina game that was a war of the worst and it just hurt to watch such a poor example of professional football. In the case of the GC Signature, the experience began hopefully with smooth flavors of leather, chocolate and sweet spice. By the midpoint however, the flavor had begun to degrade into a rather sour, almost acrid flavor base and although the original flavors of leather and chocolate remained, the sweet spice was replaced by the flavor of slightly over-ripe fruit, verging on rancid. This did not turn out to be a very good cigar, similar to the football being played by Jacksonville and Carolina. Joya de Nicaragua Antano Dark Corojo Doble Fuerte - A full bodied cigar that fits my needs first thing each day with a great cup of coffee. I prefer the Pelogroso (5x44) but have also enjoyed the Azarosa (4.5x52). The cigar comes in 3 other sizes as well: El Martillo (5.5x54), La Pesadilla (4.75x60) and the Poderoso (6x54). This cigar epitomizes the “power” cigar with its rich, deep and dark flavor profile that is not nicotine heavy but still packs a whallop. A creamy Nicaraguan puro that performs magnificently. What's My Band? - The Carlos Torano Master Robusto provided by Liz. Palio Cutter Contest: The September winner of a silver Palio cutter is Dan Lawson from Louisana. For October's contest, we are looking for photos of you and your friends enjoying cigars. Send your entry to theshow@cigarmedia.tv. Please include your mailing address with your entry and type "Palio" on the subject line. Do you have a suggestion for the unbanded cigar of the week? Every week Bob and Dale include an “unbanded cigar” segment in their show in which they smoke a cigar without any markings and give their honest opinions. Bob then opens a sealed envelope and discovers the cigar’s name and manufacturer. If you have suggestions for the "What's My Band?" segment, please send them to liz@cigarmedia.tv. Do you have a Cigar Review? If you call and leave a cigar review on the herf line and it is played on the show, you will receive a DogWatch Cigar Radio patch! You can reach the Herfline at 321-594-4373 - or cigar.radio on Skype. You can also send email to theshow@cigarmedia.tv.

Will the 48 minute special interview episodes ever end? Hopefully not any time soon if I continue to get the opportunity to interview folks like John Benjamin! This really is a unique episode for Case No Point. John grabbed an acoustic guitar and decided to play songs live, rather than using the studio versions. I think that approach worked very well here. ROCK! Glenn Case
It's another 48 minute special interview episode, and this time I'm not the focus! Yay! Ken Mahru is a dear friend, and one of many songfighters visiting Spokane for the 9th annual Songfight Live show. The first day of Songfight Rock and Rocker is going to take place later today as I type these words, or Friday, July 17th for those of you who are reading this in a future that I have yet to experience yet. Click here to view the event's website. This episode features music by multiple musical projects that Ken has been involved in: Ken's Super Duper Band 'n Stuff Explino! The Seamus Collective Berkeley Social Scene ROCK! Glenn Case
See, I didn't make you wait long for the next episode at all! Mere moments, in fact! The bad news is that this 48 minute double bonus edition of the podcast is all about me! Oh snap! Steer clear from this episode if you don't want to go into Glenn Case overload. Regardless, you should make sure to listen to episode 6. Great music to be heard, and none of it involves me.
