Next Opportunity To Weigh In On Stanley Park Master Plan Oct. 2 The Town of Estes Park is continuing its efforts to update the Master Plan for Stanley Park. Community Services Director Rob Hinkle commented, “Stanley Park’s facilities serve as a special gathering place for our community and it’s important that we carefully plan for the use of remaining spaces to best serve Estes Park.� To date, the design team has studied the site and gathered extensive input from the community survey, public comments and stakeholder/neighborhood meetings, listening to the needs and challenges of its users. As the process continues, the community is encouraged to attend an Open House Oct. 2, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Estes Park Museum, 200 Fourth St. The project team will share and discuss the preliminary Master Plan site design sketches.

Hinkle continued, “Our hope is to create a master plan of ideas that address community needs and concerns, so we can turn opportunities into reality.� The plan will evaluate current facilities, propose options for future development of community amenities, and outline infrastructure requirements – all based on the needs of the community and organizations like the Town’s Events Complex and Museum, the Estes Valley Recreation and Park District, the Rocky Mountain Performing Arts Center and the Estes Park School District.

Stanley Park includes the land under the Town’s former Senior Center, the Estes Park Museum, the Estes Park Event Center and the Fairgrounds, plus the ball fields and recreation areas east of Community Drive. It is bordered by U.S. 36 to the north, Fourth Street to the west, Lake Estes to the east and Manford Avenue to the south. The land was bequeathed to the Town by F.O. Stanley and two other families. The Town leases approximately 27 acres to the Estes Valley Recreation and Parks District, which is an active partner in this master plan process. Currently there are several master plans for sites within Stanley Park, including one created by the Recreation District, one for the Museum and former Senior Center and one for the Fairgrounds. The current planning effort will look at the site in its entirety, including the existing master plans, and coordinate planning across the entire site.

For more information on the project and outreach opportunities, please visit www.estesparkeventscomplex.com/sta nley-park-master-plan or contact project lead principal Shanen Weber at 720-573-6502 or shanenw@dcla.net. To receive Town news in your email inbox, visit www.estes.org/subscribe.

Town And County Prepare For Comprehensive Plan Update In 2019 The Town of Estes Park and Larimer County are planning the upcoming public process to rewrite the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan, with the majority of the public process expected to occur in 2019 and 2020. The current Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan establishes land use, community design, growth management, mobility and circulation, housing, scenic and environmental quality, economy, and intergovernmental coordination policies for the Estes Valley. The Town and County share a goal of updating the current Comprehensive Plan with a new plan that includes 21st century goals and policies, drawing extensively from the ideas of community members. Useful elements in the existing plan may be retained or updated. The first outreach component is expected to be a survey announced in late September 2018.

Trustee Norris, chair of the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee, commented, “We want the updated Comprehensive Planning to be built on the hopes and dreams of the entire community, striking a balance to meet the needs of all residents and guests.” He continued, “It’s so important that everyone takes time to help us rewrite this plan, because it will chart the course for the future of the Estes Valley.”

The Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee convenes with a primary goal of setting the framework for the process to help guide staff and the consultants hired to facilitate the process.

The advisory committee consists of Town and County staff and elected offi-

cials. Members are Trustee Ron Norris (Chair), County Commissioner Tom Donnelly, Trustee Marie Cenac (Alternate), Planning Commissioner Robert Foster, Larimer County Planners Michael Whitley and Matt Lafferty, and Community Development Director Randy Hunt. The committee generally meets twice monthly, with meeting agendas posted at www.estes.org/ comprehensiveplan. The next meeting takes place Sept. 19 at 10 a.m. at the Estes Valley Community Center, 600 Community Dr. Residents are welcome to observe the meetings; time is reserved at the end of each meeting for public comments.

The Estes Valley model for land-use regulations is unique in Colorado. The Town of Estes Park and Larimer County partnered in the mid-1990s to develop the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan, a unified vision for land-use planning in both the incorporated and unincorporated areas of the Estes Valley. In 2000, they jointly established the Estes Valley Development Code. It is expected that much of the Estes Valley Development Code will be revised in conjunction with a rewritten Comprehensive Plan.

The Planning Commission reviews development and subdivision proposals within the entire Estes Valley, though the final decision-making authority lies with the Larimer County Commissioners and Town Board for their respective jurisdictions. For more information, please contact the Town’s Planning Division at 970-577- 3721 or planning@estes.org.

Free Residential Slash Collection Dates Announced

To help prepare for the coming wildfire season, the Estes Valley Fire Protection District is hosting two slash drop-off events. From 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 13th and Sunday, October 14th, property owners within the fire district are encouraged to bring slash to the Town of Estes Park property located at 640 Elm Road. The site entrance is on the right-side of Elm Road, just past the turn off to the Waste Management Transfer Station.

Appropriate materials (outlined below) can only be accepted during the designated times within the gated area. Please note that if guidelines are not followed, the Fire District may not be able to host future slash drop-off events.

Slash consists of tree trimmings, small tree trunks and shrubs that have been removed to create or improve defensible space around structures.

Materials accepted: • Branches/tree trimmings • Small tree trunks • Shrubs (no root balls) NOT acceptable: • Pine needles, cones and other small yard debris • Stumps • Flood debris • Material from businesses/commercial sites EVFPD extends thanks to the volunteers working these events and to the Town of Estes Park for providing the drop-off location and assistance with moving materials.

Start improving the defensible space around your home now! Fire fighters ap-

preciate all the work property owners do to reduce wildfire hazards before there is an immediate threat.

Once a wildfire threatens an area, there isn’t time to do this important mitigation work. Here are some actions you can take to create a Firewise home with surrounding defensible space.

• Thin continuous tree and brush cover around all structures.

• Clean out gutters and roof areas where pine needles collect.

• Clean pine needles and other debris from under decks and in corners of structures.

• Mow grass and weeds around structures.

• Prune tree branches to eliminate the possibility of fire reaching the branches.

• Remove any small tree or shrub from under large trees to eliminate a ladder for fire up to the tree branches.

• Stack firewood at least 30 feet away from any structure.

• Post reflective house numbers at the edge of the road so they are clearly visible both day and night.

• Make sure the driveway is at least 12 feet wide and all tree branches are cleared to a height of 14 feet to allow emergency response vehicles safe access to all structures.

To have a Residential Firewise Risk Assessment completed for your property, please contact the Fire District at 970577-0900. Learn more at www. estesvalleyfire/wildfire Join our Facebook page at Estes Valley Slash Collection for updates.

coming Manager/Executive Director, the program has grown from offering two programs to seven with the intent of providing restorative services to the entire community with a focus on prevention.

hardware stores.

So far this year over 1,500 tall paper yard bags of weeds were collected!

Next Drug Collection Scheduled October 27 Police encourage safe disposal of unwanted prescription and over-thecounter drugs On Saturday, Oct. 27, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. the Town of Estes Park Police Department will offer Estes Park’s Drug Take Back Day to collect unused, unwanted and expired prescription and overthe-counter drugs for safe disposal — no questions asked. “Now is a good time to mark your calendar and start collecting everything you want to get out of the medicine cabinet,” commented Officer Gregg Filsinger, who manages this free service for the community. The collection will be held in front of Rocky Mountain Pharmacy, located at 455 East Wonderview Ave. in Upper Stanley Village. Police officers will collect the drugs, which will remain in the custody of law enforcement officers until they can be incinerated.

Estes Park’s Drug Take Back Day is part of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s national campaign to provide a safe way for people to empty their medicine cabinets of unwanted and potentially harmful prescription drugs. To

find participating collection sites in other communities, visit www.dea.gov.

Misused and abused prescription drugs containing controlled substances can lead to cases of accidental poisoning, overdose and addiction.

The most recent National Survey on Drug Use and Health indicates that prescription medicines are the most abused drugs by Americans, next to marijuana. Seven of the 10 drugs most commonly abused by teenagers are prescription medicines and three quarters of teen prescription drug abusers obtain the drugs from family and friends — often from a home medicine cabinet. Ridding homes of these substances greatly reduces the potential for abuse and accidental poisoning.

Items which cannot be accepted at the Drug Take Back Day collection sites are needles and sharps, mercury thermometers, oxygen containers, chemotherapy/radioactive substances, pressurized canisters, marijuana and illicit drugs. For more information, please contact Officer Gregg Filsinger of the Estes Park Police Department at 970577-3868 or at 970-586-4000.

Last time I went camping, we packed up our stuff halfway through the weekend, cried “Uncle! ” and went home. When the sky decided to take the ice bucket challenge right over our tent, we quit having fun. We threw up our hands, threw in the towel—which immediately got soaked in the downpour, and drove through the deluge toward home.

You read about it here, on page 9, in October 2012.

Someone asked me recently how long it had been since I’d gone camping. I excluded that meager attempt at wilderness sleeping in my calculations and determined it had been about 17 years since I’d slept out in a tent with no facilities or running water nearby.

This would lead many to believe I am not a fan of living temporarily in a tent. WRONG. I love to camp! So when my friends invited me to join them for a camping weekend near the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness Area, I had no choice—I had to go.

We left Boulder Friday afternoon, thinking we’d beat the after-work exodus, but apparently everybody else had the same idea because traffic crept oh-so-slowly out of town.

Where were all these people going? Same place as us? What if there wasn’t any room for us when we got to our campsite because everyone else beat us there? We drove all this way! Finally the congestion eased up at about Conifer, and from there we made good time to the campground. But we had no reservation! What were we thinking?

Our worries were for naught. The small campground was practically deserted. A fellow camper had already snagged site #8, Ron’s favorite, so we selected #10 instead and decided it was just as good. It was far enough away from the gravel road we drove in on that we wouldn’t get covered in dust nor be awakened by late-night arrivals. The site was relatively flat, close to the privy but not too close, and the campsite on either side was unoccupied. What more could we ask for?

I’ll tell you what more. The cable that connects the fuel to the camp stove, that’s what.

We thought we’d packed everything we needed, and then we got to the campsite three hours away, only to discover we couldn’t fire up the camp stove because the fuel cable was back on the workbench in the garage.

It was getting dark, we were hungry, and all we had for dinner was a dehydrated mix that needed boiling water to become a recognizable, edible meal.

Ron carried our pot full of liquid over to #8 and asked the camper there if he’d be willing to let us heat our dinner on his stove. Fortunately #8 was a nice guy and soon Ron came jogging back up toward our campsite with enough warmth in the pan to feed us for the night, and a new best friend.

But what about coffee in the morning?

Could we pester #8 again? We decided to

forfeit the silver teapot and set it over the campfire to heat our water. The rest of the weekend we had hot coffee and hot meals, but one really blackened teapot that will forever-more be used only on camping trips.

That was the extent of our misfortune on the perfect weekend for camping near Buffalo Peaks (except that the lantern that Ron solar-charged in his office back in Boulder was still there, fully charged and a threehour drive away). We hiked, we lounged, we worked crossword puzzles, we read, we napped, we listened to the natural world speak to us through birds and squirrels and babbling waters and winds in the trees dropping golden aspen coins softly upon us. We talked and ate and looked with awe at the stars blending into infinity in the black sky overhead. We had no use for cell phones.

When we retired for the night our clothes and our hair smelled like campfire.

We made zzzzip sounds as we opened the tent door and talked about how someone should invent a silent tent zipper that functioned the same way a Ziploc baggie does.

We rustled into our sleeping bags, we dropped our voices to just above a whisper, and soon we were dreaming like we don’t dream at home.

Sunday morning, we climbed out of our bags into the 10,400-ft cold, drank the most delicious coffee ever—that I would have rejected for its nondescript taste back home, put out the fire, packed up the tent, packed out our trash, and slowly drove away so we wouldn’t disturb the other campers.

By the time we reached Kenosha Pass, we were back amongst the crowds. The number of cars parked in every direction from the trailhead was remarkable—as far as the eye could see. It reminded me of a hike I led to Emerald Lake recently. The trail was so congested, there was no way I could stop to provide interpretation for the hikers and since we had to hike single-file to avoid running into the traffic heading the other direction, we couldn’t chat as we hiked. There was a mob at the lake when we got there. That reverence we used to sense when we reached an awesome destination was gone, replaced by whoops and hollers and people climbing trees. There was no pleasure for me in that hike.

In contrast, my first camping trip in 17 years was euphoric. We were fortunate to know of a campground that was away from the crowds, we ruined a teapot but gained a sense of resourcefulness, and best of all: our cell phones were rendered useless.

Estes Park Health And EVRPD To Co-Host Fall Blood Drive To allow for easier access to give blood, Estes Park Health and Estes Valley Recreation and Park District(EVRPD) have joined together to co-host a blood drive on September 24 in the community rooms at the Estes Valley Community Center from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The UCHealth Garth Englund Blood Center will be overseeing and handling the donation process.

The new location at the Estes Valley Community Center provides 1,800 square feet of space for the blood drive, ample parking and easy access for donors.

To donate, a person must be at least 18 years old (or 17 with a parent’s permission) and show a photo identification.

New donors must weigh at least 120 pounds and be in good health. Prior donors must weigh at least 110 pounds.

Process for donating blood The donation process takes 30-45 minutes. This includes the time needed to fill out health history and consent forms.

The actual drawing of blood – a pint – takes five to 10 minutes.

Before you go to the community center, please make sure you’ve eaten something.

When you enter the donation site, staff members will guide you through the

process and answer your questions. If at any time during the donation process you feel light-headed, please tell a staff member.

The entire process takes about 45 minutes. This includes time to complete your health history and sign consent forms.

Among the questions for your health history, you will be asked about medicines that you take. Most medicines are okay.

You will also be asked about behavior that is considered a risk for HIV or hepatitis exposure.

The rest of the process includes having your temperature and blood pressure taken, and a finger-stick test called hematocrit that checks your volume of red blood cells.

Your arm is cleaned with a sterile disinfectant swab. A needle is inserted into a vein on the inside of your elbow. The actual blood withdrawal takes five to 10 minutes. When you are done, a wrap is put on your arm.

There will be room for you to rest for a short time afterwards and enjoy a snack.

For more information about the blood drive or if you have questions, please contact Lisa Taylor at info@eph.org.

Estes Park Health Receives Accreditation From DNV-GL Healthcare Accreditation is a way for a healthcare organization to meet regulatory standards established by The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Not only meeting regulations, but also demonstrating the organization’s commitment to high levels of performance and patient care by driving Continuous Quality Improvement. Accreditation programs directly impact the clinical outcomes by improving the structure and process of care which ultimately help in delivering safe, high-quality patient care.

Estes Park Health has received accreditation from DNV GL-Healthcare.

DNV GL’s innovative program begins with initial accreditation, then following a three year program integrates ISO 9001 compliance to further develop quality standards to the international level.

Estes Park Health is committed to patient safety, well-being and quality. Accreditation moves us to a new level. “We have been looking forward to taking this next step by receiving this accreditation,” says Lyda Gardiner, Director of Quality, Risk and Case Management, BSN, M.Ed., B.Ed., B.Sc. “We believe the DNV GL program is more closely aligned with

leading quality and patient safety practices that will facilitate growth in our organization. Accreditation with DNV GL sets a higher bar, beyond the basic requirements, for hospitals to put a greater focus on national best practices in all areas of care and services.” Estes Park Health is one of the six Critical Access Hospitals in Colorado that have received DNV GL accreditation.

ISO 9001 is the preeminent quality management system used by people-intensive businesses around the world.

A growing number of U.S. hospitals are embracing ISO as a way to identify, standardize and then continually improve upon the most successful approaches to patient care, billing and other critical aspects of running a modern hospital.

“We want hospitals to succeed and we don’t believe accreditation should be an inspection just looking for faults,” says Patrick Horine, president of DNV GL – Healthcare. “Our entire approach is predicated on innovation and continuous improvement.”

Cheley Camps Support Estes Park Health’s Proposed Urgent Care Center

Estes Park Health (formerly Estes Park Medical Center) is planning an Urgent Care Center on the corner of US Highway 34 and Steamer Drive across from Stanley Village.

Urgent Care Services will not replace Emergency Care Needs Walk-in Urgent Care services are not intended to replace Emergency Department care at Estes Park Health. If someone has a life-threatening condition, is unconscious, having trouble breathing, has a serious injury or may be having a heart attack or stroke – always call 911.

If someone is experiencing non-life threatening illnesses like minor infections, minor wounds, minor burns, strains, sprains, minor sports injuries, fractures, animal bites, cuts, skin conditions, colds, influenza, fevers, headaches, stomach aches, sore throats, coughs and ear infections; an Urgent Care visit would be a more appropriate and less expensive option than an Emergency Department visit.

If you believe the Estes Park Health Urgent Care Center would benefit our community, please email your name as a supporter to EphUrgentCareProject@gmail.com by September 26, 2018.

Benefits for the Estes Valley In a letter of support for the Urgent

Care Center, Executive Director of Cheley Camps, Jeff Cheley, identified some benefits for the Cheley Camps that our community could also experience. First, the option to use Urgent Care for nonlife threatening conditions could reduce health care costs and would be a more appropriate level of care than Emergency Department visits. Secondly, people paying for their own health care could get timely and effective early treatment at the less expensive Urgent Care Center instead of avoiding care because of emergency care cost.

The Estes Park Health system serves the entire Estes Valley and Rocky Mountain National Park.

Hurricane Florence Relief Opportunity At Autumn Gold Festival This Weekend

At the Autumn Gold Festival this weekend in Bond Park, you can walk into and experience life in a large relief tent designed for an extended family displaced by disaster. Rotary International (which encompasses Estes Park’s three Rotary Clubs) has partnered with ShelterBox USA to provide large relief tents, tools and sundries to distraught people all over the globe. Like Autumn Gold’s antique car show, band music, tasty beer, wine & brats, the ShelterBox relief tent is truly exciting. It withstands up to 70 MPH winds and contains a solar light, filtered watering system, blankets, cooking utensils, a stove, a basic tool kit, a children’s activity pack and other essen-

tial items.

Currently, 85 million people are displaced by hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes and conflict. In Iraq and Syria, Shelter Boxes were delivered to families devastated by ISIS attacks.

In New Orleans, 27,000 Shelter Boxes were deployed to families whose homes were demolished by Hurricane Katrina.

Many more were sent to the victims of Hurricane Sandy in New York & New Jersey as well as to victims of multiple tornadoes in the Midwest. When the waters recede, Rotary International & ShelterBox USA will deploy thousands of boxes to those affected by Hurricane Florence.

Since its founding in 2000, ShelterBox USA has responded to more than 200 natural disasters and humanitarian crises in almost 90 countries, providing vital aid for well over 1 million people. “Providing shelter is far more than just providing a tent. It’s helping a community start on the right path.”– Chris Warham, CEO, ShelterBox USA. Sponsoring a standard Shelter Box costs about $1,000. Donations will be welcomed.

I have been messing around on this darn computer for days trying to figure out flights to New Orleans, and a rental car to see my sister in Larose, LA. I’m trying to figure out how to meet up with my granddaughter in Lafayette LA, drop off rental car and drive to Houston with her to visit daughter, Theresa, then fly home to Denver. I somehow got messed up with Hot Wire and got a 6 a.m. flight from Denver to New Orleans on Frontier Airlines. I had to cancel that (no refund) and book a better, but more expensive flight on Southwest. Where oh where did customer service go? Just try to get someone on the phone!

Amidst all of that I found out a good friend of mine is down with the flu. Off for a flu shot before I go to see her and take a “goody” dish. She was rather distraught that she could not celebrate her Jewish holidays and didn’t feel up to cooking. Well now that could not be tolerated. I decided that maybe a Noodle Kugel would be appreciated and easily digested. This is a dish enjoyed by many but a particularly favorite Jewish recipe.

Evidently that was a perfect choice as she called back that night and raved about it and how she would like my recipe. Coming from Alice, that was quite a compliment.

Sweet Noodle Kugel Preheat oven 450 degrees then half hour of baking, lower to 350 for about 1 hour. (mine took 30 minutes at 450 and then 50 minutes at 450).

Well-greased 9 x 13 pan 12-16 ounces of extra wide egg noodles 2 cups sour cream 1 cup small curd cottage cheese

8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, room temperature 6 eggs, room temperature 1/4 cup butter 1 cup or a little less sugar 1 cup raisins

Topping 1 Tbs. cinnamon ½ cup sugar Cook noodles to al dente’. While pasta cooks, plump raisins in 2 cups of hot water, then drain. Drain noodles and return to pot. Toss in a ¼ cup butter. Place sour cream, the 2 cheeses and eggs, and cup of sugar in food processor. Process until smooth. Can have a few small lumps. Pour mixture into pot with noodles and mix well. Fold in the raisins and pour all into prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mix over top. Bake at 450 for 30 minutes, Lower oven and turn pan and bake 30 minutes and then turn pan again and bake until center is firm and noodles are golden brown and crunchy.

Whenever I get all this trip planned and completed, I will share my adventures with y’all. But now, I do not even know the exact dates. I may just drive and take my dog, Sunshine. If I must leave her because I finally get tickets to fly, she will be happy at Marie’s hospital boarding. The staff is great and good with the animals. She gets all excited when we pull into the parking lot.

‘NOW I ARE ONE’…AND ‘THERE’S NOTHING MUCH I CAN DO’…SO WRONG! If you’ve been reading my articles in the last few issues of EPNews, you will recognize parts of the above title as recent themes of my sharing. The subjects were designed to set the stage for sharing information about changes that are taking place at the church I serve, changes that will make it possible for us to be of greater help to the Estes community and visitors we serve from across the nation.

First of all, of course, as I shared last week, ‘I are one’…one of those older folks living and serving in Estes Park. I’ve served as a pulpit minister in several states for over sixty years…loving each day and every area where I have served. However, I know that the time comes when each of us must ‘decrease’, and another ‘increase’. So, like Elijah in the Old Testament, and Paul in the New, for several years I’ve been ‘mentoring’ men, with the intent that one of them would come to work with us, taking over some aspects of the work here. Gabe Bruyere is that man. Please watch for him (I’ll have his picture next week) and make him feel welcome and help him enjoy the blessings that I have enjoyed for the past eight years…and will continue to for the foreseeable future. Gabe comes, having served in the National Guard for many years, while preparing himself to teach and preach God’s Word. You will love Gabe, Rachel and their two small children, as we do.

Now that leads me to the second statement from our title. I addressed that erroneous belief that many older people hold, that since they are growing older ‘there isn’t much that they can do’. That is so-o-o-o wrong! And certainly that will not be seen in my future activities. In the recent article, I listed many things that older folks can do: “I can: share my bread with you; sit an hour with you; share a joke with you; even share reverses with you; share my flowers, my books, even my burdens, with you; share my songs and my mirth with you; laugh with you; share my hopes, even my fears, and shed some tears with you; share my friends, my life and prayers with you…as on our way we go.” One of my joys in Gabe’s coming is that I will have much more time to do all of the above…each of which I relish. All these things I am blessed to do at my McDonald’s ‘perch’ most mornings. So, please drop by and let’s share some of those special times.

But some other suggestions! I’ve officiated at countless weddings and funerals during those sixty years. I recently did a wedding in Northglenn, and, as I usually do, I encouraged each couple attending to hold his / her spouse’s hand and mentally ‘renew their vows’, along with the marrying couple. Several couples asked if they could come to Estes to have their own ‘renewal’. I look forward to being ‘freed up’ to assist couples in the strengthening of their marriages and families, by workshops and counseling.

Tips To Keep Bears Alive & Wild This Fall - It’s All On Us!

By: Kris Hazelton There have been reports of bears getting into homes and vehicles in the Estes Valley in the last several weeks. This time of year, bears are busy trying to fatten up for their winter hibernation and they need to consume 20,000 calories a day! Human-bear conflicts are a fact of life in Colorado, but with some simple actions, residents of bear country can help to significantly reduce those conflicts.

The biggest issue in conflict situations is the availability of human sources of food -garbage, pet food, livestock food, compost piles, bird feeders, chicken pens, etc. Bears have a phenomenal sense of smell and can pick up odors of food sources from miles away.

Bears receive a big calorie reward if they get into something like pet food, or bird seed or leftover pizza, and once they get a taste they quickly become habituated to human food and conflicts start. When that happens, things usually don't go well for the bear.

Once black bears have discovered a food source they may defend it and can become dangerous. Those types of situations can be dangerous and it is undesirable to have wild, unpredictable animals in close proximity to people.

Bears will go to the areas with the best food availability, and it's best that they find their food in the wild. If food sources in town are limited, bears will likely spend more time in wild lands in their quest to fatten up.

Watch and Enjoy The Elk Rut In Safety! thumb is "give them room, use your zoom. Keep you dog leashed and quiet. Do not allow them to bark, lunge at or chase wildlife. Elk view your dog as a predator.

Never block traffic. "Elk jams" are a danger to everyone - blocking traffic creates all kinds of potentially dangerous situations. Be sure to pull completely off the roadway, out of the way of through traffic.

Estes Valley residents play a major role in keeping bears wild, we can help by being conscientious and not leaving any types of food available to bears. Without the public's diligence in reducing human sources of food, we have limited success in avoiding and reducing conflicts.

Please, follow these tips to keep bears out of trouble and to reduce conflicts: • Obtain a bear-resistant trash can or dumpster. Keep garbage in a well-secured location; and only put out garbage on the morning of pickup.

• Clean garbage cans regularly to eliminate food odors. If you don't have secure storage, put food scraps and items that might become smelly into the freezer. Then put them in the trash on pick-up day.

• Don't leave pet food or feeding bowls outside.

• After you barbeque, make sure to clean your grill, each and every time.

• Attract birds naturally to your yard or garden with flowers and water features.

• Tightly secure any compost piles. Bears are attracted to the scent of rotting food.

• Clean-up thoroughly after picnics in the yard or on the deck. Don't allow food odors to linger.

• Keep the bottom floor windows of your house, front and back doors and garage doors closed and locked when you're not at home.

Lock car doors.

• Never intentionally feed bears or other wildlife. It's illegal and dangerous.

“A Hubble Story” At Next Astronomical Society Meeting A Hubble Story is the subject of this month’s Estes Valley Astronomical Society (EVAS) meeting. EVAS in conjunction with The Estes Park Memorial Observatory is offering a free public lecture on Saturday, September 22nd, 2018 at the Estes Park High School Auditorium.

The goal of EVAS is to promote amateur astronomy and education in the Estes valley.

Our speaker will be Dr. John M.

Grunsfeld an astronaut and scientist with extensive experience as a leader in space and science missions and national space policy. He has served as a NASA astronaut, Associate Administrator, NASA Chief Scientist and deputy director of the Space Telescope Science Institute, managing the science program for the Hubble Space Telescope and the

3, the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, repaired the Advanced Camera for Surveys and the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, as well as a number of maintenance activities. These Hubble spacewalks are considered the most

forthcoming James Webb Space Telescope. Grunsfeld is a veteran of five Space Shuttle flights and eight spacewalks including to the Hubble Space Telescope and Russian space station, Mir. His research is in the field of exoplanet studies and the search for life in the Universe.

The Hubble Space Telescope story has been a fascinating study in public policy, engineering, ethics, and science. The Hubble is perhaps the most productive scientific instrument ever created by humans. In May 2009, a team of astronauts flew to the Hubble Space Telescope on space shuttle Atlantis. On their 13-day mission and over the course of five spacewalks they completed an extreme makeover of the orbiting observatory.

They installed the Wide Field Camera-

challenging and daring efforts ever of people working in space.

Now, still going strong in orbit, the Hubble has a full complement of instruments capable of performing state-of-the-art observations from the near infra-red to the ultraviolet end of the spectrum. Scientific results from the repaired instruments hint at a bright scientific future for Hubble and will be presented in the talk as well as a narrative of

the adventures on orbit.

Because of the expected crowd, this month’s open house will be held in the auditorium of the Estes Park High School and not at the observatory. The high school is located at 1600 Manford Ave. The doors will open at 7:00 p.m. and the meeting will start at 7:30 p.m.

The presentation, including a question and answer period, lasts about an hour.

Information about the meeting can be found on the observatory website at: www.AngelsAbove.Org or calling the observatory at 970-586-5668.

Help The Elk Stay Untangled Time to stow away your swings, hammocks, volleyball nets, tomato cages By: Kris Hazelton

The elk rut in the Estes Valley is underway and the Colorado Parks and Wildlife now urges us to please look around our homes, yards and businesses for items that the elk may get tangled up in.

Just last week a large bull got his antlers caught in the ropes of a swing-set swing.

The bull walked by and tried to spar with the swing, causing the entanglement.

Passers-by called Colorado Parks and Wildlife to get help and a wildlife officer arrived and drug immobilized the bull and freed him. Luckily, this story had a happy ending but if help doesn’t arrive quickly enough, elk have been known to struggle so hard that they fracture their skulls and tragically die in these entrapments.

When bull elk are pumped up with testosterone, anything that moves can be of interest. Swings, hammocks, volleyball nets and tire swings blowing in the wind pose a challenge for the elk and they will approach these items and try to spar with them. This can be a very dangerous practice as their antlers can easily become entangled in these items we have all around our homes and yards.

The CPW is urging all residents to bring these items in for the fall, to avoid any encounters such as the entangled elk shown on this page.

Lets make sure to look over our yards

and bring in anything that might pose an entrapment hazard for our resident elk with which we share our beautiful mountain community.

Also, the CPW wants to remind everyone to enjoy watching the elk rut, but please do so at a safe and respectable distance to the animals. Even though it is fun and educational to watch this display remember, these are wild animals, in the

midst of their mating season. The bulls are concerned with one thing, and one thing only, mating with as many of the females in their harem as they can.

The elk don’t care who or what is in their way, their goal is to pass down their genes to their offspring. It is extremely dangerous to get too close to these wild animals.

Avoid potential accident, injury or death by always viewing from a safe distance. If

an animal is carefully watching you and appears "jumpy," you are way too close.

Avoid eye contact and back away. Raise your arms to make yourself look larger.

For photographers, a good rule of thumb is "give them room, use your zoom.”

Never attempt to touch or feed wildlife, it's dangerous and illegal. There's a reason it's called wildlife.

Brainstorming With The Estes Park STEAM Class

By: Ellie Bergsten

The Estes Park High School STEAM class (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) entered the Lexus Eco Challenge. There are two contests in the challenge, one to improve the land and water, and one for air and climate.

On September 12, 2018 they invited Scott Esser an ecologist for the RMNP (Rocky Mountain National Park), Taylor Bobowski who runs the Estes Park Environmental Center, and Debra Callahan the water quality manager for the Town of Estes Park. These experts helped the

STEAM class brainstorm for the challenge, and talked about concerns they see with the air and water in Estes Park.

Then as a class they decided to educate people about Recycling in Estes Park, and how it can be improved, for the first project concerning land and water. For the second contest, air and climate, they are looking into solar charging stations for their school. The STEAM class has begun working on the land and water challenge. They plan on meeting with other experts to get information on how recycling in Estes works, and what needs to be improved at a later date.

John will be hosting a fellow Estes artist whose home is under construction, ceramic artist Karen McPherson.

When a ceramic artist is building a new home, a common response is to wonder how to fill/embellish/decorate the home with clay. And what colors and textures do we choose to live in? These inquiries have led to a deep investigation of blues (cobalt), greens (chrome and copper), and rich red iron. Some of the many outlets for these colored slips and glazes are ceramic sticks, knots, tiles and earthen blocks of clay.

Mathew Klickstein, co-author of Springfield Confidential will be at Macdonald Book Shop September 29th, from 1:00-4:00 p.m.

If you are a Simpsons fan, this is the book for you! Springfield Confidential: Jokes, Secrets, and Outright Lies From a Lifetime Writing For The Simpsons is like a Simpsons episode in book form: it’s smart, fast-paced, and stuffed with hundreds of jokes, some of them funny.

An international sensation, The Simpsons is the longest-running animated sitcom of all time, and Mike Reiss, a four-time Emmy winner, is one of the few writers and producers, who has worked on the series since its very first episode. Authors Mathew Klickstein and Mike Reiss shares stories, scandals, and gossip about working with America’s most

iconic cartoon family. They explain how the episodes are created, and provide an inside look at the show’s writers, animators, actors, and celebrity guests.

Reiss reminisces about the making of perennially favorite episodes, dishes on what it’s like to be crammed in a room full of funny writers sixty hours a week, and tells what he’s learned after traveling to 71 countries where The Simpsons is watched (ironic note: there’s no electricity in many of these places). Mike also answers a range of questions from Simpsons fans and diehards including: • Where is Springfield located?

• What is the secret of The Simpsons’ success?

• The toughest question of all: Why are all the characters yellow?

Visit with author Mathew Klickstein and get your signed copy of Springfield Confidential at Macdonald Book Shop on Saturday, September 29th, from 1:004:00 p.m. "D'oh!"

Happy Birthday!

“The Riverside” Band To Play At Masonic Lodge September 24 The Riverside is a band of friends from California founded by husband and wife duo, Jacob and Lorien Jeanson. Winners of the 2017 Popular Vote Contest at the Red Ants Pants Festival, the band was honored with opening this year’s main stage.

Whether performing on a street corner, in a house concert, or standing in the middle of a cow pasture at a MT music festival, the band strives to bring back the love of raw, live performances. Circled around one or two large microphones, the band relies on one another to find balance in their sound. With roots deep in folk music, their stringed instruments and vocal harmonies allow them to paint multiple landscapes and tell their stories, which they hope will help you with your journey down life’s winding river.

Truly a band you won’t want to miss, please join us for The Riverside Monday, September 24 7:00-8:30 p.m.

Estes Park Masonic Lodge 1820 S St. Vrain Ave, (Hwy 7) Estes Park, CO

Suggested donation $20 per person all proceeds go to band.

Please bring your own drink (alcohol is permitted).

After their performance, the band members will be excited to meet and talk with people.

We can get it for you.

That’s a message we emphasize every day. Whether it’s a hot new title not yet on the shelves, or a classic from the past you can no longer find, we are happy to get items you seek. That includes books, audiobooks, digital books, CDs or movies. You can let us know in person, or through the simple click of a form on our website.

We’re now happy to offer that same service for our local book clubs. Want to request multiple copies of a title for your next discussion? You can tell us with one click. Book club participants—as well as readers looking for recommended books—are encouraged to visit our popular new web resource at estesvalleylibrary.org/bookclubs.

An important library objective is to, “Bring readers together in shared literary experiences. ” Book discussion is one of the most fulfilling ways to enhance learning while making new friends. For years, we’ve supported local clubs with our numerous Book Club-in-a-Bag kits (hint: these are some of the most talkedabout and intriguing titles of recent years). They check out for six weeks, complete with 12 copies of the book.

Starting now, we’ll include one large print copy as available. When choosing titles for discussion, these are a great place to start. And we’ve got new titles debuting this season (read on).

You told us that you wanted more personalized service in making your shared literary experiences come to life, so for those titles not in our collection, the Book Club Request alerts us to your upcoming needs. We’ll assemble books from around the State, including the

Colorado State Library’s vast collection of book club kits.

As we explore the best ways to serve and support our many local book clubs, we’d like to hear from you. If you’re a book club leader, we hope you’ll take a few moments to complete our Book Club Survey, now linked on our website through October 7. Your responses will inform us in how you choose your book titles, the formats you prefer, and future titles of interest.

Conversations with book club leaders helped us identify the newest Book Club in a Bag kits now on the shelves. These kits, complete with 12 copies, have just been added: -“A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” by Betty Smith. “A profoundly moving novel, and an honest and a true one. ”—New York Times -“Our Souls at Night” by Kent Haruf.

“The story speeds along, almost as if it's a page-turning mystery. ” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch -The Children Act” by Ian McEwan. “A finely written, engaging read. . ..

Poignant, challenging, and lyrical. ” — Huffington Post -“A Prayer for Owen Meany” by John Irving. “Irving is an abundantly and even joyfully talented storyteller." — New York Times Whether you’re in an active group, looking to join a book club, or thinking about starting one, we’ve got the resources to make it easy—so you can relish in the joys of reading with friends and neighbors, and enjoy a greater sense of community.

Meeting Notices A Tribute To Ray Young It’s perfectly okay to change keys mid-song, as long as you modulate.

Make mistakes.

Laugh at yourself when you do. Every note is not right in life, but there are no wrong notes on the piano.

If it feels good, play it.

You absolutely have to feel it.

There’s no faking in George Gershwin said that life is like jazz, and Ray Young taught me everything I know about jazz.

First of all, you have to improvise.

Think ahead and on the spot at the same time. If you forget where you are, if you lose your way; it’s okay—keep playing, ask for help. Listen, really listen to the people around you, and play something that compliments what they’re playing.

Take turns having your moment to shine. Support your bandmates when it’s their turn, make them sound the best they possibly can. And when it’s your turn—go for it. Don’t hold back. Show the world what you can do.

Timing is everything.

jazz.

On behalf of the countless students who played music or sang with Ray across the many years of his service at the Estes Park schools, I hope I speak with their voices when I say: In the soundtrack of our hearts, there is a very clear and distinct piano melody playing; reminding us that rhythm, listening, tempo, wrong notes, working together, never giving up, and…playing, are all part of living.

We are forever thankful and enriched by making music with Ray, and we will miss him always.
