olorado Arts Net has always been a labor of love staffed by three people: me, myself and I. Although we have occasionally had disagreements, we get along pretty well and manage to work things out. Now the three of us are hoping to do some faraway travel and intensive photo-art of places and things beyond the scope of tourism, from April thru June, 2011. So if the website hasn't grown slowly enough, it will slow to a crawl for a few months. If anyone has any complaints, you are welcome to have your money back. Oh wait, everything is free. Any backlogged link requests will likely be linked later. And strong priority is still given to those who link C.A.N. first.

Kelsey Grammer Haunted by Colorado Memory.... and others
 On July 1,1975, 18 year old Karen Elisa Grammer was abducted from her place of employment, a Red Lobster restaurant, beaten, raped, butchered and left to die after a failed robbery of the restaurant. Freddie Glenn, Winslow Watson and Larry Dunn were charged in the crimes. Dunn testified against his partners, resulting in their convictions. The most savage portion of the attack occurred in a dirt alleyway adjacent to a trailer park in Colorado Springs, where the men took turns raping her. Glenn reportedly slashed the victim's throat and plunged a knife into her back. The men then fled. She crawled some 800 feet to the door of a manager at the trailer park and left a trail of blood leading to the doorbell button. But she was unable to ring it before she bled to death.
The murder still haunts Karen's brother who is actor Kelsey Grammer, probably best known for his beloved roles in the Cheers and Frazier TV sitcoms. Grammer, then a young acting student at Julliard School, learned of the death after several days trying to call his sister beginning on July 4th, and then calling police to discover the shocking news. He has recounted that it crushed him and their mother and destroyed their grandmother. On July 27, 2009, Glenn came up for a parole hearing in the Colorado Dept. of Corrections. (Click "Inmate Locator" to see his mug and stats). Grammer attempted to appear at the hearing but his flight from New York was canceled by rain. Nonetheless he made an impassioned plea, and Glenn remains behind bars where he has been since age 19. He had been sentenced to death until the death penalty was overturned. Glenn also brutally murdered two young men in 1975. In a letter to the Parole Board, Grammer stated "Surely a man who has killed so many must never take a single breath as a free man." Glenn comes up for his next parole hearing on July 01, 2014. Prior to all this, in 1968, at age 13, Grammer also lost his estranged father in a murder that occured on his front lawn in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Additonally, two half brothers were killed by sharks while scuba diving.
- Consulted Denver Post, Wikipedia. Internet Movie Database, AskMen.com, and Find a Grave. (2009 August 20)
Footnote: The FindAGrave article on Karen is interesting but excruciating to find from their site. "Just Google "Karen Elisa Grammer".

Cybersquatter Posing as Colorado Arts Net
Original Colorado Arts Net "Molested" by Local Poseur
Colorado Arts Net is NOT affilliated with the apparent copycat web site of Denver resident Fredric Wiebe. His site is known by the identical name of "Colorado-Arts.net" and appears to mimic our site by offering arts listings with phrases similar to our menu. Furthermore, the poseur site also links to seedy porn sites, something not provided on the genuine original Colorado Arts Net. (Click here to see Fred's site). The latter site has, in our opinion, been infringing upon and damaging our directory's name and goodwill to the arts community for many years. Fred's home page is titled the same as ours. But Fred's web address has a dash in the URL and ours does not. Fred's web site links a substantial amount of adult themed content including "outcall services" and "hot housewives" and "topless nightclubs" along with other non-arts generalities including house cleaning and pool parlors. All of this is listed on Google as "Colorado-Arts.net" (with dash). Thus Fred appears to be plagiarizing our good name to promote his crap. It thereby confuses audiences and distorts and degrades our name through search engine visibility.
The real Colorado Arts Net has been online since 1996 and has been registered as the domain name ColoradoArts.net since year 2000. The Internet whois registry indicates that Fredric Wiebe (pronounced "wee-bee") did not register the domain name "Colorado-Arts.net" (with dash) until 2004. By that time, our name "Colorado Arts Net" had been widely known and publicized since 1997, a period of seven years.
We are curious to learn more about Fredric Wiebe and wish to know if anyone may have had any problem similar to ours. We are also seeking to determine if this is the same person as Fredric Wiebe (DOB 8/8/1946) who, according to 1991 Denver Court records, was arrested for Colorado criminal code "18-3-405" (aka: sex assault on a child by one in a position of trust). No verdict is shown on the online version of the court record. Colorado Arts Net makes no claim regarding Fred's guilt or innocence in the matter at this time. We also do not make any judgment against legitmate adult web content or links. Such content has its rightful place (for adult viewers). But please don't call it "Colorado-Arts.net".
The genuine original Colorado Arts Net (without the dash) is a link directory intended to network regional arts as a goodwill venture benefitting all ages including children (with parental guidance recommended). We do not publish links of prurient or pornographic interest in this web site. We might link bellydancers and the occasional art nude photographer or erotic artist in the genuine context of arts. But we don't link "hot housewives" or outcall services because they are not "arts" in our view and are not suitable for our target audience.
See"History of CAN" for more details about the evolution of Colorado Arts Net.
Once again, we are asking Fredric Wiebe and anyone else concerned, to immediately cease and desist usage of the Colorado-Arts.net domain name (with dash) and not use any name essentially identical to ours, for any purpose that might be wrongful. Anyone with info on Fredric Wiebe, please contact (the real) Colorado Arts Net, right here.
