What is it?

It is an app for your mobile device or desktop computer to help you keep up with the latest Tri-Lakes area news. It automatically updates lists of recent OCN items. Click on items of interest to view those items in your browser.
Use the dropdown menu to select from the following categories:
- Posts
- Podcasts
- Comments
- Monument Articles
- Palmer Lake Articles
- D38 Articles
- Fire District Articles
- Water & Sanitation District Articles
- Columns (e.g., Arts, Books, Gardening, History, Letters, Library, Snapshots, Weather etc.)
The first three categories (posts, podcasts, and comments) are mutually exclusive. The remainder of the categories are lists of recent posts addressing specific topics. Items in the list of Posts are also included in the lists on specific topics.

The highlighted number at the top is the total number of unread items. When you click on an item, a green check mark is added to that item and the highlighted number is decreased by one.
For each category in the dropdown, the number of unread items is displayed in parentheses.
In the first screenshot, there are currently 25 unread posts and 84 unread items across all nine categories.
In the screenshot at the left, all the items have been marked as read.
If you scroll to the bottom of any of the lists, there are buttons to check for new items, mark all items as read, and mark all items as unread.
