Boulder Colorado Dateline:

Police Blotter:last night while we were at Band on the Bricks with the Boulder channel 1 I was talking with some of your officers and it was pointed out to me that the media often avoids covering "violent crimes," in favor of "bear treeing," that the newspapers, specifically the Camera don't give a true picture of some of the crimes that go on here, such as sex assaults, fights, knifings and home invasions; that the reporters will over look a serious incident to report on something frivolous concerning police work. I would like to run a police blotter on Boulder channel 1 with a synopsis of a weekly crime report. Can we get that from Boulder police department in a pdf form.? Kind of a police digest of crime reports. We don't have the staff to go through every police report on a daily basis. But your reports must end up typed and in pdf form at some point. I think this community deserves a true picture of what is going on here. Most of us wonder around thinking that we live in a summer resort town with no crime.........It seems this is changing? Perhaps not........but I think there is high interest in reading crime reports, trends etc.

I love the way Russia prosecutes a war. They just roll up on a country and kill everyone in sight until they conquer. This war in Georgia will be over in about a week. America on the other hand has pent the past 7 years trying to conquer two desert third world nations with oil and heroin. We spent nearly 3 trillion dollars and are no closer than the day the invasions began. So what's my point.?? Well, we need the oil and we love heroin, so why haven't we killed everyone in Afghanistan and Iraq and taken it all ?? What is the business of "rules of engagement", "winning the hearts and minds" Why are we tippy toeing around not trying to upset the Mullahs? Why haven't we wiped Islam off the face of the earth and replace it with Christianity.?? Where's the oil we were promised. ??Where is the heroin so dear to Boulder.?? In addition I hope we don't end up in a fight with the Russians over Georgia. The are "not nice" and have nukes. They are on the move

The University of DRUNK Colorado spent over 5 million dollars of a Woods Johnson Foundation grant from 1994 to 2003 to teach CU students how to drink responsibly. They hired an "alcohol czar" who had zero credentials. ( just like what the city did with public access TV over the past three years...but I digress) Meanwhile CU ranked #1 in every college drinking poll in the world; named 5 times the # 1 party school in the USA, had record DUI arrests, more fraternities and sororities shut down because of drinking than any school in the big 8 or 12, had record drinking deaths and birthed the 4/20 pot smoke in day at Ferrand field.Boulder has more bars per capita than any city in Colorado by a multiplier of 4 equaled only to Glasglow Scotland which has the highest alcoholism rate in the world. Most university cities with a College alcoholism rate like Boulders have on campus detox and rehab programs. Not CU.Why not? IU at Bloomington and UCLA opened campus detox centers in the mid 1970's when they were just behind CU with drinking problems according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). (I actually wrote an guest opinion on this very topic for the Colorado Daily in 1977.) 31 years later CU hasn't moved an inch in recognizing the problem. There is no detox at CU. There's no specific alcohol treatment program. There are only incoming freshman with drinking problems to ad to the flow. Groovy.

FLASH EV 22 BCM DEAD; REPORT OUT

Here's what's new. Boulder city council cut funding for BCM and channel 22 http://www.bouldercommunitymedia.org/ last week. They are both dead. A city report out today shows BTV, BCM and the entire mess created by council was a disaster: http://www.ci.boulder.co.us/files/City%20Council/WIPS/2008/08-07-08/2a.pdf

Brett Parnes BCM board chair will be disbanding BCM and creating a new organization which will operate Public access and ed access without council interference. finally.

Boulder City Council confronted by Seth Brigham Last Night

Seth Brigham , local writer access host and activist, confronted the Boulder City council last night at their closed study session. Seth stood up when the council was considering funding for only Educational access television . Brigham shouted out" Where's the peoples access" As he approached the podium the Mayor pictured here in his Nazi uniform, said, "One more step forward and I'm calling the police". Seth kept demanding the corruption of PEG funds by Shaun McGrath stop and that the public access channel be returned to the citizens of Boulder.
Seth had spoken to McGrath earlier in the day and McGrath was unwilling to admit he had lead the charge to betray all of Boulders Public Access producers. So Seth confronted McGrath at city council. The city is illegally withholding voter access fees and Channel 54 in order to keep Seth and others ( me) silent from criticizing the government a basic tent of Public access not to mention the first amendment. Seth was escorted out of the city council chambers by city staff. Good job Seth for standing up for all of us.

A Brief History of Public Access TV in Boulder

This is a good time for this council to fully address the issue of PEG designated funds, it's original intention, the roll of Public Access channel 54, councils involvement when the charter says hands off, how we lost public access and why council is now controlling Educational access; and bringing back public access. A Brief History of Public Access cable television in Boulder 1985--1995 Boulder Cable ran public access in a studio at their 33rd &walnut facility. There was limited access so the city decided to negotiate a better franchise deal in 1995 . 1995-1996 Public Access TV moved from Boulder Cable to channel 63 at the university. Access producers dropped off tapes at the city front desk once a week. An edit bay was set up at channel 8 for access producer use. The city formed an access commission. needs assessment and came up with CATV which had the exact same contract that BTV had. The franchise fee increase from 3% to 5% with the additional 2% designated for Public Access TV. Comcast kicked in an additional 250,000 dollars and built the wing on the dairy center for public access. They kicked in an additional 10,000 dollars and wire the build in fiber optics for Cable and digital television know that it was coming in 2009. The voters also voted for .25 cents per cable subscribe per month to go toward capital improvements. (approx. 75,000 annually) Look on your cable bill....it says "public access fee" not educational access.The city budgeted $350,000 annually for Public access channel 54 at the Dairy. 1996-1999 CATV 54 public access went along smoothly for 3 years with enormous success . Paul Congo was the ED.1999-2000 Paul Congo left . A new board came on and a new ED with no public access experience. The new crew turned the place upside down , suspended 5 producers and all holly hell broke out and it landed in city council chambers. The council suspended CATVs contract. Hearings were held. The ED and most of the board resigned. 2000 -2001 A new board was appointed and Andy Bergey with 5 years at CATV and a total of 15 years public access experience was appointed to the new board. Ron Secrest and city attorney Jerry wrote a new contract with CATV with two crucial changes: They changed the intended designated funds to non designated ( with out a public hearing oi councils knowledge) The took out the clause " a free Speech Forum " (This is considered illegal since federal law states that once a public access facility is designated a free speech forum it cannot be changed. ) This gave city council control over public access. All of this was changed with out councils knowledge or public hearings. The budget was cut at CATV to 250,000 2001-2003 CATV BUDGET WAS CUT TO 200,000 the 5 full time staff was cut to 3. Including community out reach.CATV operated smoothly. 2003-2005 CATV budget was cut to 150,000. The entire staff was let go except for Andy Bergey and two part time staffers.Access hours were cut from 9:00am til 10:00 pm 7 days a week. to 5 days a week 3-9. Public access producers started to complain to city council about the budget cuts. Guy Erricksen and Donna Marek complained about CATV. I complained about city council. The council got completely fed up and disbanded CATV entirely, closed the dairy facility and shut the whole thing down. The city manger had recommended a small budget and council probably would have gone along with it if there weren't so many complaints and emails( not unlike today) 2005-2006 The city council decided to form another study group and came up with an idea of their own. Change public access into a PBS style community station where they could control the content. So they hired Tony Perri and appointed Shaun McGrath to head up the advisory board. Public access became an after thought and the producers rebelled even more loudly than they had the two previous years. Producers were this time banned, services were terrible, Shaun McGrath was embattled. Council had dove head long into public access. BTV was a disaster. 2007 A new board was appointed in the late summer with Brett Parnes as the chair. Brett was the previous CATV board chair with another 12 years access experience from Florida. He quickly brought BTV 54 back to it's public access roots in compliance with the city contract. ( which never mentioned anything to do with city councils vision) the city attorney had side stepped it. The city mangers office and city attorney had become frustrated with council when they decided to involve themselves with public access TV. Their recommendation in 2005 was to give CATV a budget from 45,000 to 150,000 and let it's board operate it as a grass roots facility at the dairy. In the fall of 2007 it was decided by the BTV board that Tony Perri would step down as ED and Alan Ohashi would take over. The finances, non profit structure, records , policies at BTV were a mess. Tony remained as a producer. they had to keep him since city council was enamored with him. He was there guy and he put non controversial content on channel 54. It wasn't access but council loved it.( similar to channel 22) Brett Parnes meanwhile reinstated all banned producers, formed a new non profit and whipped the slate clean. I went back on the air with jann Scott live during the elections with out any problems at BTV. We all reconciled and access went on.Until Shaun McGrath hit the roof. He apparently was not told of the reconciliations and he wanted blood. specifically mine. So he went after me and BTV with a vengeance and spent 11/2 hours in a council tirade on October 7th and killed public access TV then and there...with councils full support except for Chrystal. 2008 Channel 54 is now a blue screen. BCM, the new company formed by Brett and board ran Channel 54 and channel 22 with a 70,000 dollar budget in 2007. They could do it now. But full scale war has broken out again with the city council over the shutdown of Public access TV Solution: Could just assign channel 54 back to BCM and their problems with public access and dissident producers would go away. Whether or not you fund it. Both channel 22 and 54 should be given to the BCM board. Council should then forever stay out of public access. refer all complaints to the board and not involve itself. Public access is messy. Let it be.

Daily Camera letter: City council Blows it ! Enviromental DOOM!

Posted by Camera Staff
Jann Scott: Boulder City Council and the environment
Posted July 16, 2008
The city council in Boulder not only have this intense desire to manipulate the press, free speech and public debate, their arrogance is only surpassed by their incompetence. Take our environmental crisis for example. At a recent city council meeting a dozen or so scientists came forward and told them point blank that their environmental impact study looked like it was developed by Dick Cheney. I have done numerous TV shows on melting ice caps, gasoline consumption. greenhouse effect and it's cause of the current world economic collapse. Your city council in true form put their collective head in the sand. They are in shock; frozen with fear, unable to move. Your elected officials are in denial and won't act. Boulder should be leading the way in environmental legislation, but instead we are leading the way to oblivion. We consume 500,000,000 gallons of gasoline a day. If we all drove cars that got 28mpg or better that number would drop by 30%. The green house effect would be reversed. The price of oil would drop back to $30 per barrel and New York city won't be under water because the north pole melted this summer. But it all has to happen by the end of this year and no later than 2012. The EPA, NOAA, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore and most enviro scientific organizations have been issuing this alert for two years now. What is our city council doing about it?? Nothing. They try to silence me from sounding the alarm. There is a certain segment of our Boulder Daily Camera culture who also don't want this issue discussed. They always chime in like good bad fans when ever I bring up the end of the world. Does this remind you of the 1930's. You can see my documentaries on council and the environment here www.jannscottlive.com

JANN SCOTT LIVE - APRIL 2008 (00:02:50) http://www.jannscottlive.com/index.php
Welcome to Jann Scott Live the video blog news of the future. In Boulder on the C.U, campus the World Affairs Conference took place and to suprise all the subject matter was aimed at aging boomer leftists. What about the Kids?? WHY? Loyd Benson...

Also some other talked about shows on The World Channel 1 Networks are Boulder World News, Cosmic Pete's Hottub Monologues and Boulder Public Access Producers Conference. http://www.jannscottlive.com/index.php

Gasoline prices skyrocket: Boulder does nothing

The Boulder city council, city manager and city attorney intentionally misled the public and cable subscribers who voted for additional cable fees just to see me on channel 54. A few cranky malcontents convinced the city to go criminal by misappropriating our fees. Then the city lied and said it was tax payer money which it's not and in typical Boulder Land grab fashion your elected officials got away with theft. In the process they shut down the first amendment and moved us closer to a communist state. The developing attitude of government control over citizen media can be seen in the letters blog section of the Daily Camera. They are a little scary.But if you'd like a little free speech fun, I can be seen 24/7 pounding our city government mercilessly on http://www.jannscottlive/

" so this is what channel 54 turned into? ...This is where all of the producers went? ..It is a disg race what the city did to you and everybody. The city has changed. This isn't the Boulder we have known and loved...... A bunch of new comers came here and ruined everything. Took away our basic freedoms. ...... So now we have nothing on cable? I am 58 years old I don't use a computer. I used to watch you on TV...... Oh you're on channel 5 too. But what about our channels??...... Channel 22?? whats that? Never heard of it." And so it goes.

Boulder city council parade 4th of July

Jarred Polis stopped by for an interview. I am doing a special show with interviews of all of the Boulder candidates running for state and federal seats which will play on Boulder channel 1 in a few weeks. He indicated that our city council was out of step with the urgent need to global warming now...rather than later which is what they plan.

Ran into Alan Ohashi at Band on the Bricks . He was videoing Hazel Miller? For educational access.?? Notice BV 22 is never out in public at events, with a tent, or banner, or anything. They are like a secret closed society similar to Boulder city council.

I was on the mall last Thursday taping http://www.jannscottlive.com/ in a show called "Now how do you like that Chevy Suburban soccer mom??" I am there every Friday at 1:30 during the summer for live tapping's of this short blog.

I talked to the Camera editorial board jann in bike helmetthis week and they invited Rob, me and Seth to write a joint op-ed about how Shaun McGrath , city council and their hand picked goons thwarted free speech, public access, mis-used PEG funds, tried to silence us all, and then allowed a corrupt Tony Perri and Alan Ohashi make off with all of our PEG funds

equipment. Interested??
This would come as BCM is trying to get more of our money to run a EV 22 for Shaun's Approval but with no provision for public access. justice ss Mayor McGrath looking like Himler

Members of Rocky Mountain peace and ss Center are going to start attending my live taping of JS Live with poster that call Shaun McGrath a War Criminal.......apparently he voted to support the war in Iraq and they don't like him either.
Jann Continues to bash the boulder city council on Live TV in front of court house: over melting polar caps, Boulder air pollution, rising taxes, denial of bill of rights, cat leash law. and much more. Children chime in condemning the city government. http://www.jannscottlive.com/index.php

BVSD Watch Dog group denied access to EV 22

We had our Boulder Channel 1 booth http://www.boulderchannel1.com/ at the Farmers market today ( as usual). ....... I was standing there ...talking to people, when business man Al Baldocci of http://www.bvsdwatch.org/content/view/60/53/ stopped by. Guess what? He said the BVSD Watch Dog group were denied access to channel 22. WTF. ?? This is a critical group to the educational process in Boulder and since they are critics of BVSD they are denied access?? That is the third group this month who have come up to me and offered this information. The other were the Columbine Schools mothers who are critical of how Columbine is run and they have done a film about it which we have put on The boulder Educational channel. http://www.boulderchannel1.com/education/index.php .
As you may recall, Shirley Scovil started recording BVSD meetings for CATV public access channel 54 back in 1997. She would give critical comment by the bvsd watch dog group. The school board went crazy at criticism....so they cut a deal with the city council to stop the criticism by having channel 8 air school board meetings and eliminating Scovil. But it was an access citizen producer who started covering education in the city to begin with. Now that is totally co opted by EV 22 Tony Perri and Alan Ohashi and city council. But that does not stop the unrest. Critics of the governing bodies cannot get access to any of the channels.........because they are censored by The Boulder City Council. I find two key issues when I meet people at public forums: 1 is that they hate Shaun McGrath and the city for cutting Public Access and especially for McGrath tirade toward me. Baldocci wants McGrath removed from office because of it. The other is that channel 22 is seen as more censorship.
The second is that I receive unanimous support from the community at large for shining a harsh light and criticizing the City for every dumb thing they do.......but especially my continued blasting of them over access. I am telling you I am a reflection of what the people are saying. I am viewed as ultimately a wake up to Council and school board supression of free expression.
Channel 22 needs to choose sides.

Janns' Family: A Fourth of July Story

Great Grand father Scott( 5x times) died at the battle of Bunker Hill. He fought with one of Washington's blue coat militia regiments. Annabell his wife picked up his musket and continued the fight against the British. She lived and that's how I came to be. Yankee stock from Connecticut. Rebels all. Fought the Tory's. Great Great Grandfather fought with the Union Army against the South. My Grand Father fought with Pershing. My father fought with Patton's 3rd Army and was killed in a Sherman Tank in the battle of the Bulge. Fortunately, he knocked up my mother with me before he died. My oldest brother was killed in Korea. My second oldest brother was killed in Vietnam in 1963 as a navy corpsman advisor. My sister was killed in an airplane crash in 1968.
I was denied entry into the military under the Sullivan law in 1969. My mom was the only one left in the family and she was hospitalized til her death with Multiple Sclerosis. After college I joined the Central Intelligence Agency in 1971 and was stationed in London attached to the US Embassy with a cover as a foreign correspondent with International Times. I didn't want to be the only Scott to never have served his country. London was a safe place and the CIA was recruiting crazy bastards like myself to fight the cold war. All combat zones were off limits to me. The US government didn't want to see an entire family wiped out in 20th centuries wars. I had survivors guilt to say the least. Service with the agency was fast and lose. No rules and complete diplomatic immunity. My job was spying on young communists and eventually IRA terrorists who started bombing London during the" Christmas offensive of 1972. " This sent me to Belfast and finally into a combat zone which I was not trained for. I found myself on the streets of Belfast caught in fire fights between British special forces and IRA regulars in the biggest campaign of the war. I was there as a war correspondent for IT so the agency took advantage of my situation. Being American and all I was considered neutral by the Irish. I was a non combatant until one afternoon I was pinned down in a cross fire ...laying in the gutter (my favorite place) tangled in barbed wire with my photographer dead by my side, bullets bouncing all around when out of the smoke crawled Captain Egan a US special forces operative.
" Mr Scott" he said " I'm here to get your ass out of this shit. " Then he became pinned down.
It looked like everybody was trying to kill us. "We can't stay here" he said. " We are going to have to fight our way out." He handed me a 1911 model .45 and two extra clips. " They did train you on this at Langley " . he stated "Yep" I replied, It wasn't true. But I did have my dads WWII 45 at home in Connecticut and I had become expert shot as a teen Eagle scout.
Captain Egan was armed to the teeth . With a scoped m 16 he started picking off rooftop snipers who were no more than teenagers themselves. He was a regular John Wayne . " Get up! get the fuck up and start shooting. Lets go " he said. We started to move toward the British lines behind us. Glory. I had joined my ancestors in combat. It didn't end there. This was my baptism into fire. CIA had somehow forgotten the Sullivan law and I was now fighting illegally for 28 days on Irish soil.But with DPI the laws of illegal foreign intervention didn't apply to me. They don't apply to anyone who is sent abroad to fight secret wars and to uphold the forigein policy of the United States government with extreme prediudice. Most sane people hate war. But I have to admit I loved it. And if I died there I would have been happy. Probably why I drank. Some say I have a death wish to this day. I don't know about that.
I have one son who fought as a Marine in Iraq. Life goes on. In Boulder Colorado I have taken to performing talk TV sequences in front of the court house this time of the year. It seems we are about to lose the planet to global warming and inept government planning. Looks like Rachael Carson's book Silent Spring is coming true. To come now is the horror of economic and civil collapse world wide. What is so weird is that everyone has gone into a state of frozen shock . I try to be a wake up call to all of it.
God help us all.

This weeks show on Downtown Boulder Mall

We taped Jann Scott Live http://www.jannscottlive.com/index.php on the Boulder Mall Yesterday from 1:30 til 2:30. JVon from Boulder Vidcast showed up with Camera and crew. KGNU radio also showed for an on the street interview about my new street theater version of Jann Scott Live. The boulder Mall is the perfect place for "street theater television" Everyone wants to play. We did parodies on that stupid Tony Perri "Ev 22 for you done by kids" : our version with kids and adults " The Boulder City Council Sucks "......very funny ....they're sure to hate it and love me even less.....But a lot and I mean a lot of local folks came by to express their support.........Aaron Smith was there and recorded it all........One Popular topic this week is The Boulder City councils proposed "Cat ordinance"............oh boy do people hate that! And it is a clear example of just how stupid our current city council is. So Look for us next week near the band stage and court house.....Friday at about 1:30........Next week I'll interview Jared Polis, the Boulder rich kid Internet genius running for Congress.....come on by. A aron b&w Jared at Never never land

Front Range Bloggers

Tonight I went to a meeting of the Front Range Bloggers at The Cup. About 20 Boulder bloggers showed up...both writers and videographers. The times they are a changing. The media is now the Internet. We used to have public access meetings of Video Active in the 80's to discuss public access TV. Now everyone has their own video blog , website and control. Not just one channel but 1000.s of channels. No government interference. No censorship.
What a nice friendly supportive group. We have entered the new millenium.

Dog Gone
Dear Jann,
I want to thank you for taking the time to help our escape artist dog, Nellie. It was terrifying to see her standing in the intersection with all that traffic. I want to assure you that we are trying our best to keep her from getting out, although so far she has outsmarted us. Controlling the front door can be a bit challenging with four kids from two to sixteen years, but we are determined to find a way to keep her safe.Thanks again for your concern.
Deirdre Quinlan
