Historic Stanley Home Foundation Continues Progress The Town of Estes Park Trustees gave final approval to the Historic Stanley Home Foundation’s Special Review on August 28, 2018. The Foundation appreciates the unanimous support of our plan by the Town Community Development Department, Planning Commission and Trustees.

This approval insures that the Foundation has permission to pursue its mission to purchase, renovate, preserve and operate the 1904 Rockside home of F. O. and Flora Stanley, to serve as a cultural center for local history education.

Our volunteers and supporters know full well that unless the Stanley Home is purchased by our Foundation, it will face the probability of physical alteration, moving the home, building additional homes below it or even demolition and replacement. We must be sure it is saved.

What was once an entirely new organization in October, 2016, has grown as a

tax-exempt, non-profit corporation. It is served by a Board of Directors of seven, a Community Advisory Group of twenty-one and a First 500 supporter list of over 550 citizens who know the importance of this home.

Preparations are underway to begin the process of securing funds to purchase the site. Securing this home for the enjoyment and education of our town and visitors is a grass roots effort of citizen pride, to insure that the numerous acts of good citizenship by F. O. Stanley will long be remembered.

Please play a part in this accomplishment. Much additional information will be shared in coming months. Please contact the Foundation office with any questions you may have. Our email address is stanleyhistorichome.org and our website can be found at www.historicstanleyhome.org.

Search Continues For Ryan Albert In Rocky Mountain National Park Last Tuesday marked day four of the search for Ryan Albert in Rocky Mountain National Park. On Monday, the search included a dog team from Larimer County Search and Rescue, which was able to cover some of the lower elevations of the search area. Monday’s efforts did not include teams on the upper mountain due to hazardous weather conditions including snow and ice.

On Tuesday, four technical teams reached high elevations in the Longs Peak area including Chasm View, the Keyhole, the Cables, Ledges, Boulderfield and Peacock Pool. No clues have been found.

On Tuesday, the teams faced extreme conditions including waist-deep snow drifts, decreased visibility, cold temperatures, ice covered rock, avalanche hazards, wind and falling snow throughout the day. This caused slow moving travel with slips along the way. There was a winter weather advisory beginning that night in the Longs Peak area with three inches of snow expected and seven inches of snow on Wednesday. Based on the continued decreasing conditions that teams experienced, accompanied by

Wednesday’s forecast, the search teams had to take a pause in the efforts. There were no teams in the field on Wednesday. The safety of the search teams continues to be the priority for those managing the search.

The projected forecast for Thursday seemed to show a bit of improvement which should allow teams to once again get back out to continue their search efforts.

On Friday, October 5, Rocky Mountain National Park rangers were contacted by the Denver Police Department, who had been notified by a family member that Albert of Marlton, New Jersey was overdue. It was believed he was attempting Longs Peak on Thursday, October 4. Albert’s rental car was found at the Longs Peak trailhead on Friday afternoon.

Albert was last seen leaving the Denver area early Thursday morning, October 4, wearing dark clothes and a backpack.

Information received on Saturday indicates that Albert intended on climbing Longs Peak via the Keyhole Route.

Park rangers would like to hear from anyone who has been in the Longs Peak area since Thursday, October 4, or who may have had contact with Albert regarding his planned route on Longs Peak. Please call (970) 586-1204.

October Is Conflict Resolution Month Civil Discourse: Are We Beyond Hope? (Part II) To better equip citizens in resolving conflict, Melissa Westover, Executive Director and Manager of Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership, will address different aspects of conflict and give helpful ideas and resources regarding conflict management through weekly articles during October. Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership offers two programs to assist citizens of the Estes Valley in conflict resolution. These programs are Restorative Community Mediation for low level disputes and Facilitated Conversations for groups and individuals looking to resolve conflict in a less formal setting. For more information regarding these programs contact Melissa at mwestover@estes.org or 970-577-3829.

By: Melissa Westover, Executive Director and Manager of Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership Last week we discussed underlying issues that impact our ability to engage in civil discourse. We learned that values and how they are prioritized, based on current needs, can cause us to clash and send us down a slippery slope. Additionally, we learned that our responses often feed the divide through the cycle of emotional response, assumptions, judgment, mistrust and broken relationship. These issues are more internal and individual in nature. However, we also have external barriers that have great impact. In conflict resolution we call these structural issues. Structural issues are circumstances that we did not create. Instead they occur as a part of overarching structures that we function within. Following are just a few external barriers to consider.

One often ignored barrier that has deep impact is history. Though we may not have been around when certain events took place, the harms and conflicts of the past still haunt us. This is difficult because there is nothing that can be done to change the past. Last week we talked about when the United States was politically and physically divided during the Civil War. In 1865, 153 years ago, congress passed the 13th amendment abolishing slavery. No one presently living was alive, yet the issue of slavery continues to plague us. Many want to forget the past and try to 'move on from here.' To others forgetting the past feels like an insult and further minimizes their struggle.

Everyone brings their past experiences with them. So, if we are interested in civil discourse we must acknowledge the role that history (both long ago and recent) plays. Historic harm has deep consequences and requires continued commitment for repair.

A more contemporary dynamic is the advent of technology. There are a few of us that remember hand-written letters and house phones. Now we have a plethora of options for communication and our access to information is instant.

Anyone else remember World Book Encyclopedias? Though most of us love our technology, a downside exists. Communication through text, email or social media allows us to hide behind our screens. Thus, people will say things through technology that they would not say in a face-to-face meeting.

Facebook has become a popular avenue for stirring up controversy. And though a good healthy conversation can be beneficial, doing it in the context of social media robs participants of physical presence. Participants do not have the benefit of experiencing the nonverbal side of communication such as voice inflection and body language. (Emoticons don't cut it). This leads to major gaps in communication. When gaps exist, we tend to fill them with assumptions that may or may not be accurate. Though civil discourse can take place through social media, it pales in comparison to sitting across the table from a living, breathing person.

In observing how folks enter a public forum discussion, it becomes evident that most come unprepared to engage in civil discourse. What most come prepared to do is to 'win'. The reason for our approach is because our societal structure is built around debate and competition. A debater hopes to persuade others to come to their way of thinking. Our justice system is primarily adversarial.

This is not a judgment on debate or competition or even the judicial system, only an observance as to how these dynamics affect our ability to engage in civil discourse. Most of us have 'hills we will die on' regarding our values and beliefs. Yet with some adjustments, even those who are opposed in these important areas can engage in civil discourse.

Let's examine a definition that I'd like to use as a point of reference for this discussion. Dr. Kenneth Gergen defines civil discourse as, "Engagement in communication to enhance understanding (italics mine). It neither diminishes the other's moral worth, nor questions their good judgment; it avoids hostility, direct antagonism or excessive persuasion; it requires modesty and an appreciation for other participant's experiences." Hmm, it looks like civil discourse means much more than polite or socially acceptable conversation. It says nothing about coming to agreement. But it does indicate that coming into a situation in the spirit of curiosity and respect is necessary.

Even in light of the barriers we face, I remain optimistic. I believe in people's ability to change. Though some lack the will to change, I know there are plenty of people who are willing to shift and can assist in turning the current tide. For those who are interested in leading that charge, next week's article will give some practical ideas to help prepare for engaging and participating in civil discourse.

Voter Education Opportunities Provided By The League Of Women Voters The November election is just around the corner and ballots will be arriving in your mailboxes beginning October 15.

The League of Women Voters has held several informative meetings to both educate the voters on the ballot issues and to provide them the opportunity to meet several of the candidates running for office. The League’s last educational meeting of the election season will be on October 18 when the candidates vying for the US House of Representatives will be participating in a Candidate Forum conducted by the LWV of Estes Park at the Town Board Meeting Room from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. All four candidates running for the office will be in attendance and include Peter Yu, Republican, Joe Neguse, Democrat, Roger Barris, Libertarian, and Nick Thomas, Independent.

Please mark your calendars to join us.

Prior to the forum, the candidates will be meeting with local students at the Estes Valley Library from 6:00 – 6:30 p.m. Any students who which to meet the candidates are welcome to join in.

Besides hosting local events for citizens to learn election information, the League of Women Voters, through the work of League volunteers across the country, also offers VOTE411.org, a one-stop-

shop for election related information.

This innovative voter resource provides nonpartisan information to the public with both general and state-specific information. Just enter your address to build your ballot. With our voters’ guide you can see the races that will be on your ballot, compare candidates’ positions side-by-side and print out a “sample ballot” marked with your preferences. All statements and videos are posted directly by the candidate, unedited by the League of Women Voters and do not express the views of the League.

In addition, Ballot Issue Pamphlets, prepared by the League of Women Voters of Colorado are available in several public locations throughout town including the Estes Valley Library, Town Clerks’ Office, Good Sam’s, Crossroads Ministry, and the Estes Valley Community Center. The LWVCO has prepared this pamphlet as a public service to promote civic responsibility by providing nonpartisan information about the issues that citizens will be asked to vote on in the November 6, 2018 election.

If you should have any questions, please contact us at contactus@lwv-estespark.org

RMNP Announces Winter Pile Burning Operations Fire managers from Rocky Mountain National Park plan to take advantage of the forecasted winter weather conditions to burn piles of slash generated from several fuels reduction and hazard tree removal projects. Slash from these projects has been cut and piled by park fire crews and contractors during the last two years and is now dry enough to burn.

When fighting the Fern Lake Fire in 2012, firefighters were able to take advantage of previous and existing prescribed fire and hazardous fuels treatment areas that provided a buffer between the fire and Estes Park. Prior hazard fuels projects were instrumental in stopping the fire from jumping Bear Lake Road.

Pile burning operations will only begin when conditions allow. The piles are located in a variety of locations on both the east and west sides of Rocky Mountain National Park. The locations on the east side of the park include the Deer Mountain area and along Bear Lake Road between Hollowell Park and Bierstadt Trailhead. Some piles are also located on the west side of the park in the Kawuneeche Valley.

The fuel reduction projects are de-

signed to reduce significant accumulations of forest fuels that can generate extreme or problematic fire behavior adjacent to urban interface. By reducing the potential fire behavior, the wildland fire risk to firefighters and the public is significantly reduced.

However, these projects are not designed as a stand-alone defense against wildfires nor are they guaranteed to hold a wildfire in the worst of conditions. Please do your part and complete wildfire mitigation on your property. To learn more about wildfire mitigation around your home visit www.firewise.org Safety factors, weather conditions, air quality and other environmental regulations are continually monitored as a part of any fire management operation. Prescribed fire smoke may affect your health. For more information see https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/wood-smoke-and-health.

For questions about this project or information about Rocky Mountain National Park please call the park’s Information Office at (970) 586-1206 or visit www.nps.gov/romo

It is the 21st century and natural disasters are growing ever more common on this planet of ours—our one and only life source.

We’re witnessing—or experiencing— the hazardous consequences of: • earthquakes (a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust, causing land mass convulsions), • volcanoes (the spewing of hot lava and deadly ash from deep within the earth’s core), • tornadoes (a forceful column of wind that tosses aside everything in its path as it collides with the earth), • hurricanes (a twister that forms over the ocean, often heaving dangerous amounts of water over the land. In the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, these devastating storms are called hurricanes.

In the Northwest Pacific they are called typhoons and over the South Pacific and Indian Ocean they are referred to as cyclones. No matter what they are called, they are catastrophic.), • tsunamis (the displacement of a large volume of water—monstrous walls of water—caused by undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions), • heat waves (a period of excessively high temperatures), • drought (a prolonged period of hot, dry winds and shortage of rainfall resulting in parched soil) • avalanches (a mass of snow and ice careening down a mountainside) and landslides (an avalanche made up of earth, rock and sometimes mud), and those that hit closest to home: • blizzards (winter storms of heavy snow and powerful winds), • floods (a seemingly ceaseless overflow of water that covers land not usually under water), and • wildfires (large infernos usually started in wildland areas often caused by lightning and drought).

With each news report of an impending adverse occurrence, I am intensely aware of my own vulnerability. Next time will I be the victim? Will my family pull through, my neighbors rebuild? I am extremely fortunate because so far

I’ve survived all the storms I’ve had to face (really, just the Flood of ’13). But so many souls haven’t.

The loss of life and property has impacted communities around the globe and the demise continues to pummel us harder, faster, deeper and wider.

This is our earth, the only place we have to live. She is convulsing, spewing, colliding, heaving, tossing aside, careening, burning. These “acts of God” are angry, violent events that seem to be growing more ruinous, increasingly intense, and deadlier with every new season.

I view these tragic events as messages from our planet to shape up or soon we will all be kicked off. She can eradicate us all if she wants to, and I wouldn’t blame her if she did. Then she can start fresh and hope for better next time. It’s happened before and is bound to happen again.

We can’t win against these incidents, each one seemingly worse than the last.

So what do we do?

This is what I do: (aside from making an effort to walk when I could drive, compost, avoid using plastic, etc.) I find a quiet place outdoors, I sit still and I listen.

I perceive this planet’s anger in the messages she is sending us: hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires. She’s trying to reach us—to get us to pay attention.

I hear our lovely Earth cry out for help.

I see her wilt in the heat and witness her tears in the rain. I sense her attempts to cleanse herself through fire and wind and water. I know she is begging us to change our ways and begin caring for her as she cares for us.

I apologize to this fragile planet we call home, I do my small part to try to heal her (although I commit my share of offenses), and with a heart more than halffull of hope, I look for the sun to shine between parting clouds.

Free Residential Slash Collection This Weekend

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.-12:00 noon this 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 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 appreciate 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.

Fine Arts Guild Brings Objectivity Dance Theatre To EPHS This Weekend The Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies is proud to present Objectivity Dance Theatre, October 13th at 7 p.m. and October 14th at 2 p.m., at the EP High School Auditorium. Please join us for this one-ofa-kind show that mixes contemporary ballet, circus artistry, and physical theatre. Movement artists Jennifer Aiken and Peter Davison astonish audiences and reveal shared aspects of life through their movements with objects, and each other. Davison, winner of the Ballet Builders New Choreography award in 2009, joined with Aiken to explore their shared love of dancing with objects and a desire to create something new. Together, they formed Objectivity Dance Theatre in 2015, and have been treating audiences to their unique layering of virtuosity, dance, imagery, and humanity ever since. Aiken is a Colorado native who has been dancing and performing since the age of five, while Davison began his career as a teenaged juggler on the streets of L.A. This performance is unlike any other, yet accessible to all audiences, young and old alike. The per-

formance is free to Fine Arts Guild members, $15 for adults, $12 for seniors, and $10 for children under 18. Tickets are available at Macdonald Book Shop, at the door, and online at www.fineartsguild.org.

Scare Up Some Fun At The American Legion Haunted House By: Laurie Button

Ghosts, ghouls, and frightening creatures of the night have taken up residence in the lower level of Joseph J. Duncan American Legion Post 119.

Thrill-seekers are invited to venture into “Haunted House 2018” from 7 to 10 p.m.

Friday and Saturday nights Oct. 12-13, 19-20, and 26-27. Admission is $15. A special Kid-Friendly Day is slated from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 28th with admission just $5.

Local resident Kovo Mendoza is the artistic director and consultant for the Legion’s second annual Halloween event.

He’s been working “full speed ahead”on the design since July. A theater major in college, Mendoza utilized his experience in stage production, lighting, and sound to create a frightening and entertaining experience for people of all ages. His enthusiasm is fueled by a life-long fascination with Halloween. Before assisting with the Legion’s project, Mendoza was the creative force behind the “Scary Hayrides” at the Elkhorn Lodge.

The 2018 design includes more rooms and hallways than last year’s Haunted House—sixty feet more to be exact. This will make the experience much more intense and intimate for those who enter the 35 x 35-ft. space. Several dozen Legion members and area residents have helped with the construction to turn

Mendoza’s vision into reality. In addition, local businesses, organizations, and individuals have purchased the personalized tombstones that greet everyone as they enter the Post.

So, what can people expect this year?

“I’m concentrating on creating illusions that will leave you disoriented,” said Mendoza. In recent years he’s visited more than twenty different haunted houses in Colorado both to have fun and gather new ideas for his own project.

The Legion festivities will include a snack bar, bake sale, as well as games for children to play and win prizes while waiting. The more adventurous attendees will find themselves testing their skills at a paint ball booth in a shed outside the building.

The cost?

Twenty-five shots for $6.

For the hungry at heart, dinner will be served each of the three Friday nights.

October 12th is Steak Night; the 19th will feature All-You-Can-Eat Spaghetti and Meatballs; with Beef Stew and Dumplings on the menu October 26th.

This is the Legion’s largest fundraiser of the year with proceeds going toward operating and building maintenance costs. Joseph J. Duncan American Legion Post 119 is located at the corner of Highways of 7 and 36 in Estes Park. Call 970-586-6118 for more information.

I really enjoyed my time in New Orleans with friends. After that, I rented a car and drove to Larose, LA. Larose is a little town on Bayou LA Fouche and the Intercostal Canal. My sister has lived there for so long she sounds like a Cajun. She is 96 years old. I am much younger as I was the caboose and as my mother used to say, “I was an accident, but a pleasant one.” I then drove to Lafayette, LA to meet a granddaughter to go with her to Houston.

All was going along “splendidly” until the Lafayette airport where I could not figure out how to return the rental car.

This is a rather small airport. Finally, I noticed an Avis garage and asked where the Enterprise return was. “Oh, just follow that road (more like a dirt path) and you will see the parking lot,” the nice man tells me. This I did and parked the car in the Enterprise lot. I did not see any sign of an office so surmised that some form of bus would pick me up… right? There I sat for 39 minutes until another car arrived and I asked the driver what I was supposed to do, “Oh you have to walk over there into the airport and find the Enterprise desk to turn in your car” the gentleman told me.

Thank goodness he came along or I think I would still be sitting in the Lafayette airport parking lot. All went well after that little “hiccup” as Elizabeth, my granddaughter, arrived and picked me up and away we went to be

with my other daughter in Houston. She just moved to a new home and I helped her unpack and we had a wonderful time visiting.

Houston was very hot and humid.

Going from there to here is quite an adjustment. Now we are supposed to have snow. What is better than a good bowl of chili on a cold snowy night? Not in Houston but here is Estes, chili sounds great.

Homemade Chili 2 lbs. ground beef 8 slices of bacon cut into small pieces.

1 (29 ounce) can tomato sauce 1 (29) ounce can kidney beans, drained 1 (29) ounce can pinto beans, drained 1 medium diced onion 1 can of green chilies with liquid 1 stalk diced celery 1 large can of diced tomatoes 2-3 tsp. cumin 3 Tbs. chili powder (less or more to taste) 1-1 ½ tsp black pepper 2 tsp salt or to taste 3 cups water Cook bacon in large skillet until crispy. Remove bacon and drain the pan, leaving about 2 Tbs., of fat. Brown meat, breaking it up into small pieces.

Drain meat and place into a large pot.

Combine all ingredients and add to meat along with the bacon. Bring to simmer and cook for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. When chili has thickened to your liking, serve with grated cheese or sour cream. Fresh chopped onions are also a nice addition. Adjust seasoning to taste. This could be cooked in a crock pot but only add 2 cups water. At the end, I like to add a slurry of corn meal and water to lightly thicken and give it a good taste.

This could also be served over spaghetti as is done in Cincinnati.

Top Guides To Tie Favorite Trout Flies The Alpine Anglers October meeting will feature two of the area’s top fly fishing guides demonstrating how to tie the flies they rely on when fishing local streams.

Frank Drummond was a lead guide for Estes Angler and Laughing Grizzly Fly Shop in Longmont. He has a penchant for the small streams of Rocky Mountain Park and enjoys showing visitors how to catch the fish. As a guide, he likes flies that are effective—but quick and easy to tie. As Brush Creek Cane, Frank also crafts beautiful cane fly rods that are highly sought after in the region.

Matt Schaffer has been guiding in the area for five years and has taught many fly tying classes. Matt likes to show the fish something a little different, so he brings imagination and innovation to his tying. Matt also guides hiking and snowshoeing trips throughout the winter through Kirk's.

The meeting is Wednesday, October 17 at the American Legion Hall in Estes

Park. A social hour starts at 6:30 p.m., and the program will begin at 7:00. The public is invited. Come learn from some local experts.

It’s My Privilege.

“Dr. K,” as he’s affectionately known, still remembers his rst delivery, a refugee mother, like it was yesterday. And because he’s often there for a mom’s prenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum care, he’ll probably remember your delivery, too.

What’s more, our nurses back him up with excellent bedside care, often at a 1:1 nurse-to-patient ratio. Personalized, highly attentive care—just what you want on your family’s biggest day.

WHAT ‘PARADISE IS…WHEN ‘PARADISE’ ISN’T When I first moved to Estes Park one of the first things I bought to show my pleasure at being here was our famous bumper sticker: ‘Another Ho-hum Day in Paradise’. Most of us living here believe that the word, ‘Paradise’, tells it like it is when discussing where we live. Our majestic mountains, our constant intermingling of wildlife with people, our still-green forests, currently changing with the seasons, all herald the wonder of the world we are blessed to live in. I get choked up when I hear the Lazy B crew (or Merle Haggard) ask “Have you ever lived in Colorado?” and suggest that “If God doesn’t live in Colorado, He must spend an awful lot of time here!” And that certainly is my thought as I view our ‘Paradise’. No wonder millions of people flock here to share all the richness that we experience all year long! And I firmly believe that most of them go home from here thankful that they received a wonderful welcome from those of us who live here, and look forward to the time that they can return.

Because we want it to be as wonderful a place as it can be, we are constantly trying to make it more enjoyable and more accommodating so that their…and our… experience can be as good as it can be. As a result, decisions are constantly being made by our local boards and elected officials to consider and try to determine what is best for all concerned, us and our visitors, so we can joyfully say: ‘Welcome to Paradise!’

As we know, ‘Paradise’, is a Biblical term. It was used when Jesus promised the thief on the cross: “Today you will be with me in Paradise!” Paul reported about ‘a man (himself?) who was caught up into Paradise’ and saw things he couldn’t describe to others anticipating going there. ‘Paradise’ is used to describe that wonderful eternal home to which God wants to welcome His people. From all of that, and accompanying descriptions, we know that it is a wonderfully beautiful place…even better than our ‘Paradise’. So, that is ‘what’ true ‘Paradise’ is…the setting to which we are invited.

However, there is much more to the ‘Paradise’ that God calls us to. It’s not just the beauty of the setting, it’s the beauty of the spirit of those there. That’s why the Bible is clear that there are some people who will not be found there. ‘Love’ will be obvious everywhere there. Paul describes that ‘love’ as being ‘not just word and tongue’, (verbally expressed) but ‘in deed and in truth’ (action). Elsewhere he says: “Love is kind, love is patient.” In the true Paradise love will be everywhere…no animosity, no hate.

Another characteristic of that Paradise is ‘honesty’ and ‘truthfulness’. No liars will be found in God’s Paradise, rather: “All liars will have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone… which is the second death.” In a list of things that God ‘hates’, two of the seven relate to this. “God hates a lying tongue!” “God hates a false witness that tells lies!” Another that God hates, those “who spread strife among brothers”.

When is Paradise not a paradise sharing qualities like the real paradise?...when it lacks love and truthfulness among its inhabitants. As we live in a city and area that has so many decisions being made and so many projects being contemplated: housing projects, recreational projects, service projects, and the like, we need to remember that, as we individually and collectively weigh and take our stand, love and truth must be paramount. We would do well to apply a formula I saw recommended by a billboard in Montana. It says: “Before you speak: ‘Is it true? Is it kind? Is it loving? Is it necessary?’”

May our ‘paradise’ here reflect the beauty and spirit of that ‘paradise’ there. Bob

Another Great Season Of Noxious Weed Removal The Estes Land Stewardship Association (ELSA) along with the Town of Estes Park (TOEP) hosted four very successful Weed Drop-off events this past season in June, July, August and September. 1,726 tall yard bags of weeds were collected with 579 folks in attendance which is fewer bags of weeds than last year’s record of 2,329 bags with 636 folks in attendance. The good news is that several individuals indicated they were identifying and digging immature weeds earlier to avoid bagging, and they were seeing improvement in their property after a couple of years of persistence. Volunteers served over 100 hours on-site for these four events. Awareness and educational materials from ELSA are showing positive results in the Estes Valley. Last year ELSA distributed 1,000 Fourteen Very Unwanted Weeds in the Estes Valley weed booklets and this year we have distributed almost 1,500. The weed booklet is also available at the TOEP website www.estes.org under Departments, Public Works, Parks. ELSA hosted a display of noxious weeds at the Estes Valley Library during the month of July. Thanks to EP News for also pub-

lishing the weekly ELSA Weed Alert articles from May thru September, and featuring articles for these events. There has been an increased interest in being good stewards of one’s property! Weed booklets are available year around at the Estes Valley Library.

We encourage all HOAs and POAs to make booklets available to their members, and encourage weed management in their neighborhoods. Estes Land Stewardship Association (elsa. weeds@gmail.com) meets the first Thursday of the month (January through November) at 9:30 a.m. in the George Hix Room at US Bank.

Education Funding-Amendment 73 From the LWVEP

There is every reason to be concerned about the state of education in Colorado.

For the last nine years, Colorado’s education system has been under-funded.

By 2015, we are below the national average by $2783 per student. Colorado teacher salaries are among the lowest in the USA. Too many of our teachers cannot afford to live in the community where they teach. Over 1/3 of the Colorado school districts have instituted a 4-day week. For most of these, it has been an economic decision. Colorado gained over 9,000 students from 2009-10 to 2010-11, and reduced the number of teachers by 500. Rutgers Education law School gave Colorado an F for effort on school funding.

While it is true that money does not necessarily determine a great education, still it is difficult to do so without sustainable funds. When under-funded, teacher salaries suffer, class size increases, class choices evaporate, and student extra curricular activities become limited. www.governing.com/govdata/education-data/state-educationspending-per-pupil-data. html (2016) Amendment 73 dictates that decisions on spending Amendment 73 funds must be made locally.

In 1980, Colorado exceeded the national average spent to educate students – by $232 per student. The Gallagher Amendment in 1982 and TABOR in 1992 limited Colorado’s ability to tax.

The amount per student began to fall. In 2000, when Colorado per student spending was about $700 below the national average, the citizens passed Amendment 23, which set a minimum amount of $6546 per student and mandated an annual raise by inflation plus 1% in an effort to regain lost funding. It also created

a State Education Fund supported by income tax and required legislative increases to education spending. By 2009 the amount was $7077 per student, only $1400 less than the national average.

With Gallagher and TABOR, Colorado did not have the funds to meet all of the necessary programs for the State of Colorado. The Colorado Legislature applied a negative “budget stabilization factor” to the per student rate, undercutting the minimum cost of education established

by Amendment 23.

School Superintendents from Districts across Colorado collaborated to address a better way to fund our schools. 170 of the 178 Colorado School Superintendents agree that Amendment 73 is the best answer.

Under current law, the residential assessment rate is the inconsistent result of a complex matthmatical formula.

More houses, people, and students do not increase property tax collected.

There are problems with Gallagher that still need to be addressed, but here is an opportunity to remove Education from that equation. F or education only: Amendment 73 will lower the nonresidential assessment rate by 5%, from 29% to 24%, and it will set a standardized residential assessment rate at 7%, lower than the current rate of 7.2%, but more importantly, it will no longer “float.”

Property taxes will be more predictable.

To provide additional money for schools, the Amendment would create a graduated income tax. The increased tax (over and above the existing 4.63%) would be used solely for education. CCorporations would pay an additional 1.37% in tax. For personal income: the first $150,000 would remain at 4.63% as it is now. The tax rate increase on the next $50,000 would be 37/100 of 1% (or a maximum of $185). Five percent of Colorado’s residents would pay higher rates on incomes over $200,000.

The “budget stabilization factor” reduced the Estes Park school budgets by $791 per student for 2018-19, and Amendment 73 would have increased OUR school funding by $1666 per student for a total of $1,800,000. The League of Women Voters of Estes Park urges you to use the tax calculator at www.casb.org/Page/754 to calculate the effect of the changes to tax on your income and property valuation. Then consider your personal values and decide if the benefits to education from Amendment 73 are worthy of your vote.

Laura Davis Completes Decorating Utility Boxes

Laura’s two boxes, behind Kirk’s Fly Shop and Wynbrier Home, along the Riverwalk, were completed on September 25th, 2018.

Local artist Laura Davis is one of five Estes Park artists chosen in 2018 by the Town of Estes Park Decorating Utility Boxes Program. Artists responded to a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Art in Public Places in April 2018. The boxes were primed by the Town, and in July were ready for the creative transformations to begin.

EP News published an article in early September with photos of the completed

and in progress boxes. At that time Laura Davis had just begun working on hers and no images of her boxes were included in that article. The deadline for completion was September 30th, 2018.

Laura would like to thank Candace of Wynbrier Home for allowing her to park her “portable studio”/SUV, in the Wynbrier parking spots for the duration of the project.

“This was a really fun project. I appreciate the opportunity to share my work in such a public venue.

Since the boxes were next to the Riverwalk there was a great deal of positive feedback. My favorite was a little girl who asked if this just came out of my head... I said yes, pretty much!”

Diabetes Cooking Classes Start Oct. 18

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a nonprofit dedicated to promoting preventive medicine, is offering a cooking class designed to help local residents with type 2 diabetes avoid complications from the disease and reduce or eliminate the need for medications.

Food for Life: The Power of Food for Diabetes Nutrition and Cooking Class teaches participants how food choices can prevent and treat type 2 diabetes and arms them with practical cooking skills for making healthy and delicious meals. People who have type 2 diabetes, or concerns about developing diabetes, and their friends and family members will benefit from the class.

“Research shows type 2 diabetes can be controlled and even reversed with a healthy plant-based diet,” says Susan Levin, M.S., R.D., the director of nutrition education for PCRM. “A vegan diet can help people with diabetes control blood sugar more effectively than the standard diabetes dietary regimen.”

The class, designed by physicians, diabetes educators, registered dietitians, and professional chefs, offers an easy-to-follow dietary approach based on scientific research. Population studies and clinical research show that a low-fat, plant-based diet is effective at improving blood glucose levels, promoting weight loss, reducing cholesterol, and lowering the risk of diabetes and other chronic diseases.

Local instructor Chazz Glaze will cover important diabetes-nutrition topics and

guide students through the preparation of tasty and easy-to-prepare recipes. Participants will watch a 30-minute DVD featuring Neal Barnard, M.D., speaking on the role of meal planning, as well as inspiring interviews with people who reversed their diabetes with a vegan diet. They will also enjoy food samples of the recipes prepared in class.

The class details are as follows: Thursday, October 18, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.—How Foods Fight Diabetes Thursday, October 25, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.—The Power of Your Plate (and Grocery Cart) Thursday, November 1, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.—Understanding Type 2 Diabetes and Recognizing and Treating Low Blood Sugar Thursday, November 8, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.—Designing a Diet for Maximum Weight Control Students will leave the class with delicious recipes, information on how to switch to a vegan diet, and additional diabetes resources, including information on online webcasts and group support. Participants are strongly encouraged to work with their health care team to safely make dietary changes.

For more information about the Food for Life Diabetes Nutrition and Cooking Class program or to register for the classes, please email Chazz at aveganwithaltitude@gmail.com or call (970) 3640040 (if no answer, please leave a voicemail).

Democrats In The Estes Valley Focusing On Voter Education For many months the Estes Valley branch of the Larimer County Democrats has been focusing on educating local voters regarding candidates and issues appearing on the 2018 Mid-Term Election ballot.

Those ballots will be mailed by the Larimer County Clerk and Recorder to registered voters during the week of October 15 through 19. There are many ballot issues in 2018, so to get a sneak peek at your specific ballot, please check out the Clerk’s website at: www.larimer.org/clerk/elections/current-elections/2018.

Then choose “Voter Specific Sample Ballot” on the menu. That will direct you to the Colorado Secretary of State website. Follow the instructions through County, Town, and Address. Depending on your residence address, your ballot may be slightly different than your friends.

Be informed and prepared for your vote! There are many ballot issues and various resources to help you. In addition to the State’s “blue book” that was

recently mailed to voters, you may want to check at the local Library.

We also have information on candidates and their positions regarding important voter issues at our local office at 158 South St. Vrain Avenue in Estes Park. We also have information on local voter services. Our office hours do vary based on availability of our volunteers.

The hours for current and upcoming dates are posted on our office door.

Your vote is the only way to make sure your voice is heard in this election. To protect yourself and your voting rights, we recommend that you check your registration status at GoVoteColorado.com. If you are not registered, you may be able to do so at that website, or you may need to register with the local Voter Service/Polling Center in Estes Park As a final note, we have yard signs available for many Democratic candidates and some issues. For more information, email Vicky Henry, Democratic PCP Coordinator, at DemsVHenry@yahoo.com.

Final Show Of Ghost Town Lecture And Award-Winning Documentary This Saturday, October 13, the Historic Park Theatre will host the final 2018 presentation of the multimedia lecture Ghost Towns of the American West, followed by the last screening of the Best

film had the most successful turnout of any 2013 independent event held at Landmark’s Esquire Theatre in Denver; and, in 2014 it gave the 225-seat Historic Park Theatre its first sold-out show

Documentary Award-winning film Ghosts of the West: The End of the Bonanza Trail. Both were shot on location in ghost towns and mining camps throughout Colorado and the western United States.

The lecture portion of the program draws from twenty years of research, and includes tales of the rise and fall of Old West towns accompanied by both historical and contemporary images. The presentation is based in part on the documentary film and its follow-up, currently in production, and a book, currently in preparation. At its April debut for the Niwot Historical Society, more than 200 people packed the hall beyond capacity: every seat was filled not long after the doors opened; all standing room along the back and side walls up to the projection wall was taken soon after; and, the last to arrive before start time could only watch from outside the entrance. The October program at the Park Theatre will be the last opportunity to see the lecture before it moves to Chautauqua in April 2019.

Ten years in the making, the film Ghosts of the West: The End of the Bonanza Trail has been enormously popular with audiences ever since its test screenings at the Park in 2012; box office lines and capacity crowds, including sold- out events, were common sights throughout its theatrical road show. The

since 2007’s The Bourne Ultimatum.

Motion picture and television executives, academics, and film critics honored the film with a Best Documentary Award in 2013.

According to one of the on-screen experts, the old hotels and saloons hold an almost magical appeal that draws people in, their eyes lighting up at the very sound of the words “ghost town.” Audiences have resoundingly agreed, rating the film a 4.5 on a scale of 1 to 5 with supporting written comments such as: “This is something that begs to be viewed more than once;” “Outstanding research and script;” “Loved the cinematography;” and “Haunting.”

Writer-Director/Speaker E. S. Knightchilde will present both the lecture and the film, and will answer questions about the entire project after each program. Visit HistoricParkTheatre.com for information and tickets. The lecture begins at 2 p.m.; tickets for adults, seniors, and children 3-11 are $8, $6, and $4 respectively. The movie begins at 4:30 p.m. with tickets priced at $10, $8, and $6. A special combo offer is available until October 12 for $15, $12, and $9. Information about the lecture as well as the film’s trailer, gallery, and production info can be found at KnightSkyPictures.com, the production company’s official website.

Opportunity Zones: A New Investment Vehicle For Estes Park By: Paul F Mueller, CPA Mueller Pye & Associates CPA LLC

The Tax Reform bill passed in December 2017 created a new investment vehicle called Opportunity Funds. These Funds are intended to help spur economic development in low-income and underdeveloped communities and are referred to as “Qualified Opportunity Zones”. Practically the entire Estes Valley is designated as a Qualified Opportunity Zone.

Although new and untested, Opportunity Funds offer very valuable tax benefits to investors including: • Deferral of capital gains; • Reduction of capital gain through a basis adjustment; • Permanent capital gain exclusion from investing in an Opportunity Fund.

These funds may have great appeal for both real estate developers and passive investors.

What Is an Opportunity Fund?

Opportunity Funds were created by the recent Tax Cut & Jobs Act to encourage real estate development and redevelopment in Qualified Opportunity Zones.

Zone applications were submitted earlier this year by Governor Hickenlooper. At this time, there are 126 approved Zones in Colorado (including the Estes Valley), with a total of 8,762 Zones nationwide.

To achieve Opportunity Fund status, the fund must invest at least 90% of its assets in property located within a Zone or Zones.

What Are the Tax Benefits of an Opportunity Fund Investment?

As mentioned in the introduction, there are several tax benefits of an Opportunity Fund: 1. An investor who realizes a capital gain has up to 180 days to reinvest the proceeds in an Opportunity Fund in order to defer having to pay current income tax on the capital gain.

2. If the investor holds their Opportunity Fund investment for at least 5 years, they can increase their cost basis by 10% of the deferred gain.

3. If held another 2 years (7 years in total), they can increase their basis by another 5% of the deferred gain.

4. If the investor still holds the Fund investment on December 31, 2026, they have to recognize the remaining 85% of the gain and pay tax with their 2026 tax return.

5. If the investor continues to hold the Fund investment beyond 2026 and for a minimum of 10 years total, then any

gain on the appreciation of the Fund investment becomes tax-free.

Some commentators have referred to Opportunity Funds as an alternative to Section 1031 or "like-kind" exchanges.

What Property Qualifies for an Opportunity Fund?

Most business property located in an Opportunity Zone will qualify. In fact, it might be easier to mention the property that doesn't qualify. Nonqualified property includes golf courses, country clubs, massage parlors, gambling facilities and stores that sell alcoholic beverages.

The use of the property must originate with the Fund, or the Fund can purchase existing property if the Fund substantially improves the property. In order to be a substantial improvement, the Fund must improve the property during the first 30 months of ownership by an amount equal to or in excess of the original cost basis. For example, if the Fund purchases a tract of vacant land for $75,000, the Fund has 30 months to invest at least another $75,000, perhaps by constructing a building.

Where Do I Find an Opportunity Fund?

Finding an Opportunity Fund may be an investor’s biggest challenge. The US Treasury has been slow to issue rules and guidance, so there are many unanswered questions. This environment has dampened the creation of Opportunity Funds, which can either be developed by a private individual seeking to defer a capital gain from a current sale of property, or managed by an investment group for investors seeking a diversified portfolio of property holdings.

One such fund currently available is the Virtua Opportunity Zone Fund I, LLC, and more are likely on the way.

Beautiful Juliet Needs A New, Forever Home Do you have room in your home and your heart for a wonderful, new pet?

Juliet is about three years old. She came from a home with several other small dogs and her owner was unable to care for her. She is a little scared of bigger dogs and probably would not do well with cats.

She is a sweet girl though, and enjoys walking, snuggling and playing. She will need a family that can keep her groomed as she came in severely matted.

Deliberative Engagement: The Cure For “Wicked Problems” What is a “wicked problem?” Locally, it’s where we find ourselves on opposing sides of an issue, where we’re passionately making our case and no one on the other side seems to be listening. This Wednesday—with your participation— we’ll explore how to face wicked problems while charting a course to an even better Estes Valley.

We’re pleased to welcome a guest with deep insights into how communities work through tough issues. Our special guest is Dr. Martín Carcasson, Director of the Center for Public Deliberation at Colorado State University.

Mark your calendar for “Tackling Wicked Problems: the New Public Participation” on October 17 at 6 p. m. at the Estes Valley Community Center at 660 Community Drive. Register now at estesvalleylibrary.org.

Wednesday’s special event weaves together themes of Conflict Resolution Month and this season’s One Book One Valley. This year’s featured book is “Why Won’t You Apologize?” by bestselling author Harriet Lerner, currently being read and discussed community-wide.

Don’t worry if you haven’t read the book. Wednesday’s program is a standalone event—not a book discussion. All that’s needed are a few hours of your time and an open mind. Even better, invite a friend, neighbor, student or family member to join you.

For well over a decade, Dr. Carcasson has been carefully studying how citizens interact with one another. His research and related practices show that there are tangible ways to move from false polarization, to collaborative problem-solving in the public sphere.

“A revolution is beginning to occur in public engagement,” he says, “fueled by the growing distrust and cynicism in our communities, the increasing limitations of more traditional communication models, problem-solving processes that are no longer up to the task, and the growing realization that we can do much better.”

Wicked problems have something in common. They harbor such strong, competing values that quality communication seems impossible. To move beyond this, Dr. Carcasson will offer us the model of “deliberative engagement,” which brings people together by improving our shared conversations. In the process, we discover genuine opportunities for more inclusive civic action that influence local public policy.

Public libraries, he says, are among the places where these conversations can occur. Indeed, that’s a key Objective within the Library’s Strategic Plan: to “Engage community members in current affairs and decision-making.” The library is passionately impartial about how to improve the community we serve. The library’s role isn’t to take a stance on issues, but to provide a neutral place where issues can be discussed, guided by effective civic dialogue.

We are grateful to our partners this season, including the League of Women Voters, Town of Estes Park, the Estes Park EDC, and Estes Valley Restorative Justice.

Please join us this Wednesday, as we take first steps toward more effective community conversations, where divergent voices are engaged in collaborative and effective problem-solving.

Encourages A “Yes” Vote On Ballot Issue 6A To The Editor: As we now look towards the November 6 election one issue I believe is paramount to the safety of our community is Issue 6A. 6A preserves funding for the Estes Valley Protection District through retention of the Tabor overage as a result of the Gallagher formula combined with increased residential valuations within the District. It is not a mill levy increase, nor does it change the status of our fire department.

Our exceptional volunteer force of fire-

fighters need the retained revenues to continue to have the equipment, administrative, training, inspection, and planning support to insure they go home to their families after every incident.

Your YES vote on 6A maintains a budget that reflects our commitment to safety for our volunteers and our community. It is an investment we can be proud of.

Sincerely, Susan L. Doylen Estes Park, Colorado

A Note Of Thanks From The Ray Young Family Dear Friends, My father, Ray Young, always said how the small town of Estes Park continuously made him feel loved and that everyone here was like family to him.

All through his illness, and up to his passing and beyond, his faith in all of you proved to be so justified.

There was so much that had to be done as his health deteriorated, and it would have been impossible to get through those times without people offering their guidance, their emotional support, and overall kindness. You never know how ill-prepared you are in times like that untill you experience it. Your generosity was our saving grace... from volunteers to help with his care, the generous lodg-

ing offered when my family was here and all of you who said you'd be there for us.... and were.

For me personally, the weeks between his passing and the memorial service were the most difficult I have ever experienced; a time when everything could have crumbled, but didnt because of your constant outpouring of love and support.

I knew my dad had touched so many people, but all of you returned that love tenfold to my family.

Thanks to you, my dad lived an even more beautiful life.

Our sincerest gratitudeMichael Young and Family.

James Birch Thomas 1939-2018 James Birch Thomas, a gifted writer, compassionate banker, and beloved husband and father, died Oct. 4, 2018, at his home in Estes Park, Colorado after a long illness. He was 79.

A man known for his quick wit and sense of humor, Jim was born in Mound City, Missouri, on March 26, 1939, the second son of Mary Elizabeth Birch and Bruce Henry Thomas.

During World War II, Jim moved with his parents to Park Merced in San Francisco, while his father was at sea with the U. S. Navy. Following the war, the family moved, first to Kansas City (Missouri) and then to Omaha (Nebraska), where Jim attended Central High School. A highlight of Jim's high school years was meeting the jazz trumpeter Louis Armstrong after a concert at Omaha’s Peony Park.

A voracious reader, Jim showed an early talent for writing. Inspired by his mother’s journalistic career at the Toledo [OH]-Times, Jim joined the staff of his school newspaper and later spent a summer working as a reporter for the Laramie Daily Boomerang in Wyoming. He matriculated at the University of Nebraska in the fall of 1957, and served as the president of his fraternity's (Beta Theta Pi) pledge class.

At the beginning of his senior year, Jim travelled to Paris to study at the Alliance Français, an endeavor that was cut short by his mother’s sudden death.

It was during these years that he developed a life-long love for the works of Mark Twain (particularly, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn), Herman Melville (Moby Dick), Willa Cather (My Antoniá), and William Shakespeare (Hamlet).

After graduating with a BA degree in English in 1963, Jim switched gears, working briefly for the Wells Fargo Bank in San Francisco before enrolling in law school. In 1965, he married Nancy E. Pickering of Scarsdale, New York, and earned his Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from the University of Nebraska in 1967. After his graduation, the couple moved to New

York, where Jim worked at the Corporation Trust Company.

Jim and Nancy moved back to Nebraska in 1970, settling in Omaha where Jim practiced law for ten years. When his father became too ill to manage the family banking business, Jim moved his own family back to his birthplace to take over. The Exchange Bank of Mound City had been founded by Jim’s great-grandfather in 1885; Jim was the fourth generation of the Thomas family to serve as bank president. He cared deeply about his employees, and, despite droughts and floods that ravaged Missouri crops over the next thirty years, Jim never once foreclosed on a farm. In Mound City, Jim was active in the Kiwanis Club and served as treasurer and president of the State Theater Board.

After having summered at the YMCA of the Rockies for 25 years, Jim and Nancy purchased a summer home in Estes Park in 2000. When Jim retired from banking in 2007, the couple became full-time Estes residents.

Jim is survived by his wife of 53 years, one son, Lawrence P. Thomas, of Estes Park and Mound City, daughters Jennifer Thomas Gravois [Scott] and Wendy Thomas Russell [Charles] of Long Beach, CA, five grandchildren, and one great grandchild. He is also survived by his brother Lawrence Bruce Thomas [Jann] of Omaha, and two brothers-in-law, Dr. James H. Pickering [Patricia] of Estes Park and Rev. Thomas F. Pickering [Marilyn] of Lakeland, TN, nieces and nephews.

In accordance with Jim's wishes, no funeral service will be held. Memorials in his honor can be made to the Mound City Public Library (207 E 6th St., Mound City, MO 64470) ; the State Theater Arts Council (P. O. Box 11, Mound City, MO 64470); Operation Jump Start (3515 Linden Ave., Long Beach, CA 90807); or the Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc. (200 Fourth St., Estes Park, CO 80517).
