37 year-old Doug Schwab is an idea man. Throughout the years, his entrepreneurial spirit, wild creativity, and limitless imagination have produced countless ideas that turned into wildly popular products and services and made a lot of people very wealthy. Ever heard of a little thing called FaceBook? Unfortunately for Schwab, he first heard of it when he was describing his idea for keeping your friends and family updated on your life and activities via a web interface to a group of potential investors. Other great ideas he had just a little too late include:
- E-Buy, an auction site where people can sell their stuff to anyone in the world
- Where Would Jeeves Drive?, a “search motor” where people can simply type in an address and get driving directions as well as listings for local businesses (you may have seen his WWJD? t-shirts and bracelets before the Cease and Desist order)
- Gators – a line of cheaply made and chafing footwear
Stapleton residents have had about enough of Park Hillians using our pools, parks and open space. Stapleton residents essentially do not like paying higher taxes for a nice neighborhood, just to have others come in and use facilities their hard earned tax dollars paid for. As a last resort a senior committee will consider invading Park Hill to stop further encroachments on the unique and sheltered lifestyle we all want to maintain. A recent meeting sponsored by the Stapleton Coalition to keep Park Hill in Park Hill had well over 500 attendees. Many people complained that overcrowding at our pools and our Rec Center are easily attributed to the migration of Park Hill residents using these “Stapleton Facilities.” 
A recent study conducted by the University of Colorado Hospitals shows that married women in Stapleton are in fact as irrational as married women in the rest of the world. This controversial study flies in the face of Stapleton wives who believed they were a little more rational than other women, but it does confirm what Stapleton dads have been thinking for years.
“The big issue here is the transplant issue,” says Doctor of Psychiatry Greg Halsor. “None of these women were born in Stapleton, and all moved here. It is possible that the next generation of Stapleton women will be more rational, but there is no evidence suggesting that just living here will make you more rational.” 
People have been working hard to capitalize on as well as support the Stapleton community with different concepts, web sites, and ventures. In fact, a new site or business focused on Stapleton pops up almost weekly. A few will make it, but many will simply fade away.
Resident Scott Marshall may just have one that succeeds in the long term. Scott launched StapletonNaps.com on August 30th. The concept is to help Stapleton residents get some much needed rest in their time of need, but at someone else’s home. “I thought of the idea when I was coming back from the mountains from a guys trip,” says Scott. “I drove back early, and realized that if I went home, their was no way my wife and kids were going to give me the opportunity to sleep. So I called my friend Jay and asked him if I could use his basement for a couple hours. He said it wasn’t a problem, and I had a phenomenal nap. Everyone should get to experience that.” 
You may recall the above email ad that was sent a couple weeks ago to you by Stapleton MCA. It turns out that resident Jim Farrell was having a disagreement with his wife, Karissa and entered a photo of her into this contest.
Jim thought that the photo would get a couple chuckles from the staff and then get discarded. To his surprise her photo labeled, Playful Basset Hound, was chosen as July’s Dog of the Month to be featured in the calendar.
