Land Trust and Partners Plan Another 5,000 Acres Of Land Conservation For over 30 years, private property owners and local governments have partnered with the Estes Valley Land Trust to voluntarily conserve nearly 10,000 acres of land in the Town of Estes Park and unincorporated Larimer and Boulder counties. A new draft plan published by the Estes Valley Land Trust and partners envisions another 5,000 acres of conserved land, additional outdoor recreation opportunities and a strong local economy.

With more than 20,000 acres of land across the valley still available for development, without a plan, the valley could change dramatically. “Colorado’s Front Range continues to grow and visitation to the Estes Valley is increasing; many wonder if there is a tipping point where the special qualities of the Estes Valley are lost,” said Jeffrey Boring, Executive Director, Estes Valley Land Trust. “We hope this plan will bring people together, remind us of how special the Estes Valley is, and help create future conservation opportunities.”

The coalition behind the plan is diverse, representing conservationists, land managers, recreationists and the business community. The plan focuses conservation efforts on lands that protect the most iconic scenery, lands that are critical for wildlife habitat, or are historically significant and new sustainable outdoor recreation opportunities, like hiking trails and improved access to Arapaho and Roo-

sevelt National Forest.

It also reflects Larimer County’s conservation goals. “The Estes Valley is a priority conservation area and we're excited that this plan will help crystalize a vision to protect important ecological, cultural, and historic resources while balancing demand for outdoor recreation,” said Zac Wiebe, Larimer County Planning and Natural Resources Specialist.

The draft Open Space and Outdoor Recreation Plan is available for public review and comment until September 3, 2020. The plan can be found on Estes Valley Land Trust’s website, https://evlandtrust.org/ and comments can be made directly on the plan via the website.

The Open Space and Outdoor Recreation Plan is funded by a grant from Great Outdoors Colorado and matching funds from the Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Estes Park Economic Development Corporation and the Estes Valley Board of Realtors.

About the Estes Valley Land Trust Founded in 1987 by Estes Park residents, the Estes Valley Land Trust is a nationally recognized land conservation organization that has preserved nearly 10,000 acres of land and some of the most iconic landscapes in the Estes Valley. More than 400 members support the Estes Valley Land Trust annually and additional information can be found at

Salud Family Health Centers - August Is National Immunization Awareness Month Routine vaccination is an essential preventive care service for children, adolescents, and adults (including pregnant women) that should not be delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In light of COVID-19-related reductions in people accessing vaccination services, it is important to assess the vaccination status of all patients at each visit to avoid missed opportunities for vaccination and ensure timely vaccine catch-up. All vaccines due or overdue should be administered according to the recommended CDC immunization schedules [cdc.gov] during that visit, unless a specific contraindication exists, to provide protection as soon as possible as well as minimize the number of healthcare visits needed to complete vaccination (cdc.gov2020).

We all need immunizations (vaccines) to help protect us from serious diseases.

To help keep our community safe, Salud Family Health Centers is proudly participating in National Immunization Awareness Month.

Immunizations can prevent serious diseases like the flu, measles, and pneumonia. Adults need to get immunizations just like kids.

National Immunization Awareness Month is a great time to remind family and friends to stay up to date on their immunizations. Regular immunizations

are an essential preventive care service for children, adolescents, and adults (including pregnant women) that should not be delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

It's important to know which immunizations you need and when to get them.

Everyone age 6 months and older needs to get a flu vaccine every year. Other types of immunizations work best at specific ages or life stages. Talk to a doctor or nurse to make sure that everyone in your family gets the immunizations they need.

Salud is providing public testing for COVID-19 at our Estes Park clinic on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8-11am.

You do not need to be a Salud patient or make an appointment for this test. Please visit our website, saludclinic.org, for more information.

The Estes Park Salud Family Health Center is located at 1950 Redtail Hawk Drive. To schedule an appointment call 970-484-0999 or 303-MYSALUD. At Salud Family Health Centers, we provide quality, affordable primary health care services to keep you and your family healthy. We serve all members of the community regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. Salud accepts Medicaid, Medicare, CHP+, and most private insurance plans.

Variance Update Larimer County Department of Health and Environment (LCDHE) has been notified by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment that Larimer County’s variance will remain in place. Cases of COVID-19 have stabilized over the past two weeks, and the goal is to reduce the rate of cases. Monitoring the case count and other indicators will continue for the next few weeks to determine if the positive case rate remains stable.

It is always LCDHE’s intent to keep businesses open. A spike in cases could mean that the variance is revoked or ratcheted back. LCDHE contact tracers are seeing an increase in community spread, meaning that many positive cases are unsure how they became infected with COVID-19. This is concerning and reminds Larimer County that now is the time to be diligent.

On July 17, Larimer County received a letter from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment that cases had risen enough to put the local variance at risk and require a mitigation plan.

Larimer County was required to create a mitigation plan to show how the county would decrease and stabilize case counts.

This plan was submitted on time on July 20. The plan required strong community education and outreach, enforcement and compliance plans for face coverings, social distancing, and following the re-

quired guidelines for businesses.

“I appreciate our unified efforts to suppress the spread of COVID-19 in Larimer County,” says Tom Gonzales, Public Health Director for Larimer County. “We have regrouped and stabilized our case rate. But we must all continue to take this seriously and be diligent with handwashing, face coverings and social distancing.

We must continue to slow our cases to keep NOCO open at our current capacity.”

Test result delays continue to be a challenge for the necessary contact tracing required to keep case numbers low in the community. Larimer County is exploring other local lab options to help with testing turnaround and allow for quick contact tracing. Contact tracing is the process of identifying, assessing, and monitoring people who have been exposed to COVID-19 and to prevent onward transmission.

Information about COVID-19 is constantly changing, and the public health response adjusts as more is learned about this virus. While there is plenty of news and media information available, LCDHE is encouraging Larimer County residents to view the latest credible information on COVID-19 at www.larimer.org/coronavirus or www.CDC.gov/coronavirus.

Additionally, residents are encouraged to follow LCDHE’s Facebook and Twitter accounts at @LarimerHealth.

Monitored Weed Drop-Off August 22 Are your mature weeds ‘in the bag’?

Now is the time to remove mature weeds that contain seeds that will be next years and many more years weeds.

The next Monitored Weed Drop-off will be held Saturday, August 22 from 9:00 a.m. to noon, located north of the Waste Management transfer station at 666 Elm Road.

Estes Land Stewardship Association (ELSA) volunteers will be on hand to answer weed questions ata-distance and direct traffic flow. You will unload your bags into a loader bucket that will deposit them into the dumpster. Bring in your weeds in paper yard bags for free disposal – no slash, pine needles, trash, yard waste or dirt.

Please remove/shake off dirt from plant roots. Unauthorized drop-offs at this location (w/video surveillance) are considered theft of services. Weeds and trash can be disposed of yeararound at Waste Management for a fee.

No bags of non-weed materials will be accepted at this event. Paper yard bags are available for purchase at local hardware stores.

These events are being made possible with the support from Estes Land Stewardship Association, Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Estes Valley Land Trust, and donations.

An additional Monitored Weed Drop-off is scheduled for September 26.

Free Twenty ObNoxious Weeds in the Estes Valley Identification and Management Guide weed booklets are available yearround at the Estes Valley Library, Ace Hardware, and True Value Hardware.

Sunrise Rotary Inducts New Member On Tuesday, August 11th, 2020 Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary inducted Terri Martin into the club as a new member. Terri moved to Estes Park three years ago from Bridgeview, Illinois and became actively involved in the Estes Valley community.

While she attends several charity events, she also works part time at the White Orchid.

Terri said, "I joined Sunrise Rotary because I love this community, and I want to be more involved in supporting it."

Although Terri became an official member this week, she has devotedly given her time to the Autumn Gold committee since 2019. In fact, last year Terri sold numerous Autumn Gold $100 raffle tickets from which the proceeds went to scholarships, Community grants and other Rotary projects.

Sunrise Rotary club appreciates Terri’s participation and is delighted to have her as a new member.

Save The Date: Labor Day Arts & Crafts Show And Autumn Gold Festival 2021 Due to the Larimer County restrictions associated with COVID 19, the Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary Club will cancel this year’s Labor Day Arts & Crafts Show and Autumn Gold: A Festival of Beer, Brats & Bands. Sunrise Rotarians believe it is in the best interest of the community to reschedule these popular events for the Fall of 2021.

The Labor Day Arts & Crafts show will take place in Bond Park on Labor Day weekend: September 4-6, 2021. Autumn Gold: A Festival of Beer, Brats & Bands will occur in Bond Park on September 25 & 26, 2021.

These two events are Sunrise Rotary’s signature fundraisers which enable the club to annually award over $20,000 in community grants and $12,000 in scholarships to promising EPHS graduating seniors.

Without the generosity and support

from sponsors, Sunrise Rotary could not award these funds.

Therefore, Sunrise Rotarians would like to express their gratitude to the many sponsors who have supported these two celebrated events over the years. Thank you, sponsors, for empowering Sunrise Rotary to serve the Estes Valley community!

Rotarians understand that this is a trying time for Estes Valley families, small businesses, non-profits, and corporations, and the club aspires to continue its mission of serving the local community and the world through its motto: “Service above Self.”

For more information on the Labor Day Arts & Crafts Show and the Autumn Gold Festival, please visit the Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary website: portal.clubrunner.ca/5242.

A lot of us have taken up meditation as a regular exercise since the big undesirous virus forced us into social deprivation. Meditating is supposed to bring a sense of peace, calm and clarity. With our planet spinning on a slow-motion tilt-a-whirl, we can all use a healthy dose of each: peace, calm and clarity.

There are a variety of techniques for meditating. We can focus on our breathing, pick a mantra and repeat it in our heads, or simply empty our mind so we can escape the barrage of thoughts that pester us all day like an annoying little brother. I’ve settled on the empty-my-mind approach, which sounds easy enough (my mind is rather empty as it is), but in reality the no-think technique is difficult to achieve.

I sit comfortably in a wingback chair, put my feet flat on the floor, lift my shoulders back and rest my hands comfortably in my lap. I roll my head from side to side to get out all the snaps, crackles and pops, and then I set the timer and close my eyes.

Slowly I breathe in. Piece a’ cake, I think, I’m doing this without having any thoughts. Breathe out. Ahh. I really like this. I feel peaceful. Calm. A sense of clarity.

Breathe in. Did I remember to set the timer? I open one eye to peak. Yep. I close my eye. Breathe out. Thank you for this beautiful day.

Breathe in. Is it ok to have thoughts of gratitude while meditating? Breathe out.

Breath in. Can it be true that there are almost 2,400 different species of bacteria in my belly button? (Answer: yes.)

Breathe out. I wonder how many people have innies versus outies. (Answer: 90 percent.)

Breathe in. Other mammals have an “in-betweeny”—neither an innie nor an outie. (Because the mother cuts it with her teeth. Humans let it dry up and fall off, leaving a cavity, which is a scar.)

Breathe out. Even whales have belly buttons.

Breathe in. Each year, thousands of people get belly button plastic surgery.

Breathe out. I wonder what it’s called.

Breathe in. It’s called umbilicoplasty.

Breathe out. Oh geez, I need to stop thinking.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Peace. Calm. Clarity.

Breathe in. Belly button lint. Where does it come from? Breathe out. From clothes. Men have it more because it gets caught in their belly hair.

Breathe in. No kidding. Breathe out. I wouldn’t kid you about something like that.

Breathe in. Americans prefer a vertically oriented, oval belly button.

Breathe out. Horizontal belly buttons are more desirable in Asian cultures because they’re associated with good fortune.

Breathe in. Who’da thunk. Breathe out. Stop thinking.

Breathe in.

Breathe out. Peace. Calm. Clarity.

Breathe in. But what about “I Dream of Jeannie?” Breathe out. Well, since you asked: in the 1960s women weren’t allowed to show their belly buttons on TV. Barbara Eden’s genie get-up never revealed her navel. The belly button ban was in effect until 1983 but it wasn’t enforced.

Breathe in. Until 1983? Unbelievable!

Breathe out. The navel was considered too lewd.

Breathe in. So did Adam and Eve have belly buttons? Breathe out. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Breathe in. Michelangelo painted the two with navels on the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling. Breathe out. But they were considered ‘vulgar errors, ’ Other artists avoided the issue by covering up the couple’s midsections with long hair, arms, or foliage.

Breathe in. In Japan the belly button is believed to be the most important body part because it is located in the center of the body. In Shibukawa, Japan, they hold a belly button festival every year, because Shibukawa is in the center of the country. It’s called the belly button of Japan. Breathe out. Sort of like Lake Bierstadt in Rocky Mountain National Park. It looks like the belly button of that park.

Breathe in. Is that the timer going off?

Breathe out. Gosh, that time went fast.

The lazy days of August are flying by before I even have a chance to realize that it is August. I am busy with trying to keep up with yard work. I had the yard all mowed and cleaned of winter debris only to now have lots of pinecones along with rodents to eat them. Seems like we are having a deluge of all kinds rodents this year along with various ways to control or eliminate them. I have bait traps for the mice and voles. They work well. I have heard of people using a bucket to catch the mice and having a neighborhood contest to see who is most successful in catching them. I can keep the small bait traps in my dog Sunshine’s grassy yard. She ignores them and the voles go back into their holes to die. Before I discovered the traps, the voles were destroying the expensive Kentucky bluegrass that I water, fertilize and have mowed just so Sunshine doesn’t get dusty or muddy and has a safe place to play. Do you think she may be coddled?

With the time spent in the yard, walks with Sunshine, house cleaning and all the other “busy” things I do I sometimes really do not want to cook. Can you believe that! I have an insta-pot, a pressure cooker, and a slow cooker so I am always looking for good recipes to use at least one of them…other than recipes for pot roast or stew. I found a new recipe for mac and cheese that is easy and good. It originally was from Southern Living online. It can be a side dish or a main dish for four.

Now, who does not love mac and cheese? I added a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to sauce it up and parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. You could do this dish in the oven, but the kitchen stays cooler using a slow cooker.

The recipe calls for elbow macaroni. In New Orleans we were able to buy the oldfashioned long macaroni. I always buy some when ever I visit my old hometown.

Macaroni and Cheese (the easy way)

1-16 oz. package of elbow macaroni 1 ½ cups heavy cream 1 (12 oz.) evaporated milk (not condensed milk) 4 large eggs ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes (optional of more to taste) ½ cup melted butter 1 ½ tsp. salt ½ tsp. black pepper 4 cups grated cheddar cheese. (sharp or extra sharp) divided ½ cup or more of freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Cooking spray Cook pasta according to directions and drain. Stir all other ingredients together except the parmesan cheese and ½ cup of cheddar. Spray six quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place macaroni mixture into prepared container. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses. Cook covered on high three hours; reduce cooker to low and cook another hour.

My daughter and husband from Houston are coming for a week’s visit and I am so looking forward to their arrival this Friday. They are being incredibly careful as they are flying and want to be sure they do not bring the virus to me. “Mother, we will take off our clothes in the washroom and wash them. And then we will shower before we settle in for our visit.” I do not know what Sunshine will think of these two naked people running around the house! How our life and habits have changed due to this pandemic.

I did finally go to Mass on Sunday. It was strange to see all the pews wrapped in plastic and parishioners scattered and separated. But I am glad I was able to attend and feel safe.

That is my sincere wish for all of you.

Stay safe and well.

All of the political ads we’re currently being bombarded with renewed my interest in a man from our nation’s past. While his name won’t be familiar to most, George Creel played an important role in a presidential election more than a century ago. Creel is credited for coming up with Woodrow Wilson’s best-known campaign slogan in his 1916 bid for reelection: “He kept us out of war.” So, who was George Creel? In short, he was an American journalist, politician, and author. World War I scholars know him best as chairman of the Committee on Public Information (CPI).

In April 1917, a week after the United States entered WWI, President Woodrow Wilson created the CPI, an agency designed to release government news, maintain the nation’s morale, administer press censorship, and develop propaganda. The agency accomplished its goals through contributions to magazines, newspapers, ra-

dio broadcasts, posters, and press releases. Wilson named Creel to lead the committee, and he immediately created 37 distinct divisions, among them the Division of Pictorial Publicity, Four-Minute Men Division, News Division, and the Censorship Board.

The Division of Pictorial Publicity was manned by many of the country’s most talented artists.

During the war they created more than 1,000 paintings, posters, cartoons, and sculptures intended to promote patriotism, create interest in the war effort, and instill a degree of fear.

Through the Four-Minute Men Division, it’s estimated 75,000 volunteers spoke across the nation on topics including the draft, rationing, bond drives, and victory gardens. They talked in places like movie theaters and fellowship halls for four minutes, which was how long it took to change a movie reel. Between the efforts of

the News Division and Censorship Board, Creel and the CPI were able to control the flow of official war information provided to the public. While Creel maintained his intent was to portray facts without bias, even he eventually admitted much of the news may have been slanted.

Under his direction, the agency was responsible for repressing material that contained dangerous or unfavorable ideas to avoid any possibility of demoralizing the public. In the process, the agency trampled upon the First Amendment rights of American citizens, due in part to the CPI’s success in instilling fear through war propaganda. In addition, the government linked any opposition to the war effort to treason. It was not uncommon for individuals who expressed anti-war sentiment to find quasi-governmental enforcement agents at their front doors “requesting” them to repress their thoughts.

Creel and his agency were criticized by many for exaggerating details of events and for hiding bad or unflattering news about the war through censorship of the press. A prime example of the agency’s selectiveness was its handling of news about the Spanish Flu epidemic. Very little if any information about the severity of the illness was shared in the press.

In retrospect, to that point, the work of the CPI is regarded as the greatest public relations effort in history. It was

a huge, multifaceted campaign the likes of which had never been attempted before.

The effort clearly illustrated the power of mass persuasion and social influence and created a lasting effect on the field of public relations.

It would be easy to stop writing about George Creel at this point, but his work with the CPI is just one facet of his fascinating life story.

Creel was born in Lafayette, Missouri on Dec. 1, 1876, the son of Henry and Virginia Creel. His father came from a wealthy slave-owning family, was college educated, had served in the Virginia legislature, and had been an officer in the Confederacy. But after the Civil War, Henry had a difficult time adjusting to life after moving to Missouri to become a farmer. He squandered his inheritance and fell prey to alcoholism. The stability in Creel’s early life was provided by his mother who supported her family by running a boarding house in Kansas City.

When that enterprise failed, the Creels moved to Odessa, Missouri.

Creel would later write in his autobiography that “I knew my mother had Continued next page...

March 1919, Creel moved to California and began writing books. In 1934 he decided to reenter the world of politics and ran in the Democratic primary for governor. He lost in his bid to fellow author Upton Sinclair.

The following year, thenpresident Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Creel to head the National Advisory Board for the Works Administration (WPA). In 1939 Creel was selected to represent the United States as its commissioner for the Golden Gate International Exposition held in San Francisco. He was also instrumental in helping Mexico establish its own Ministry of Information and Propaganda. more character, brains, and competence than any man that ever lived.” The love and respect he felt for her led him to be an early and staunch supporter of women’s suffrage.

Creel didn’t graduate from high school, but nonetheless was hired by the Kansas City World as a reporter in 1898.

Shortly thereafter he was fired by the newspaper for refusing to write an article that would have publicly embarrassed a prominent businessman after the man’s daughter eloped with one of the family’s employees.

Subsequently in 1899, Creel continued his career as a journalist when he and a friend decided to publish their own newspaper, the Independent.

Creel used the paper to promote political reform as well as the rights of women and labor. In 1909 he sold the publication and moved to Denver where he worked for the Denver Post and later as an editor with the Rocky Mountain News.

As he had in Kansas City, Creel continued to be a proponent of reform. At one point, Denver’s Mayor Henry Arnold appointed him to be police commissioner, but Creel’s aggressive campaign to rid the city of crime upset many and he was fired from that post.

After his work with the CPI ended in

Creel died October 2, 1953 in San Francisco. He is buried in Independence, Missouri.

As the November election looms closer, it’s important for each of us to carefully examine every issue and base our decisions based upon fact and the values we hold dear. Most of all— whichever “side” you may be on—take every campaign ad with a grain of salt.

George Creel taught us that information and the media can be manipulated—something as true today as it was a century ago. This fall let’s prove that we can make the right choices for our nation’s future.

Encouragement For The Rio Grande Valley Medical Workers By: Estes Park resident, Susan Porr

There is a disaster in the Rio Grande Valley, along the Texas border with Mexico. My daughter, Laura, is Lead Pastor at one of the United Methodist Churches there, and she shares this story: First, the COVID-19 pandemic is hitting especially hard in this impoverished area. In so many cases, multiple generations live in the same house, and the houses are often very, very close together. The abuelita and abuelito (grandmother and grandfather) live with their children and grandchildren. That is typical of the love and intergenerational care families share in this community. However, one doctor at Mission Regional Medical Center (MRMC) says that he fear that many such families will lose at least one member to COVID. Then, there was a domestic violence case where two local police officers were shot and killed. The loss hit the community very hard.

Finally, Hurricane Hanna went directly over the area, dropping 13" - 15" of rain and flooding it out. The Valley Region is the broad, flat flood plain for the Rio Grande River. Many of the poorest families live barely above sea level. Because the water can’t drain on such flat land, it stands there. Nothing dries out, and it provides a rich area for mosquitos and mold to breed.

Many residents lack resources to bring in contractors to dry their flooded homes and begin cleaning up and rebuilding. Even though relief efforts began the day after the hurricane blew through, the churches, grocery stores, Red Cross, and other providers can’t supply all the help required. (The damage from 2017s Hurricane Harvey along the Gulf Coast is still being repaired.)

I spoke with MRMC staff. They have been short-staffed. One of the nurses said she now regularly works up to 100 hours/week. Although she took off Monday through Wednesday immediately following the hurricane to work on damage to her home, on Thursday she was back at work in the ICU. The staff has converted surgical recovery rooms into ICU’s. They now use four where they previously needed just one. They have created negative pressure rooms which help isolate the infections. They run out of ventilators and have to use CPAP machines for patients needing breathing support.

Many of the workers - dietitians volunteer coordinators - support the COVID-19 effort.

And they are so very dedicated. Despite their dedication, they find themselves breaking down in tears from the enormity of the tragedy they are working to alleviate.

So, here is my question: Would you consider sending cards of support to these workers? They spoke of how they could use encouragement, and this is a way we can help.

Send the cards c/o MRMC Staff c/o First United Methodist Church 4200 N McColl Rd McAllen, TX 78504.

The church, working with the hospital, will distribute the cards to the staff there. If you’d rather send them to other First Responders, just put that in the address area. The church will get them to Fire and Police.

For those of you who pray, your prayers are greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much, Susan H. Porr Note: Mission Regional Medical Center released the first patient who has recovered from COVID on August 10, 2020.

The National Popular Vote Continues The Long Fight For Voting Rights By: Jan Gehlhausen

Congressman John Lewis was a legend and icon for his many accomplishments including his long standing activism on behalf of voting rights.

Among his many keen observations was this: "The vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democracy." We should take a moment upon his recent passing to reflect on the progress we've made over his lifetime and, most importantly, what we must still accomplish.

In front of every Colorado voter this fall will be an innovative way to expand the voting rights of every Coloradan and American. It is called Proposition 113 or the National Popular Vote. The Estes Park League of Women Voters supports it and encourages all Coloradans to vote Yes. When enacted, the National Popular Vote will make sure every vote for President matters, every vote is equal, and every voter across the country is relevant in each presidential election. The National Popular Vote will change the way we elect our President to ensure the candidate who receives the most popular votes throughout the country will win.

It treats the race for President like a truly nationwide election - because that's what it really is - by making sure every vote for president from every state is counted towards each candidate's grand total. It is through this simple change that we can make sure the presidential candidate who gets the most popular votes throughout the country will actually win the election.

This should sound familiar because it is the way we elect every other officeholder across the country. Colorado has statewide elections for Governor,

Attorney General, Secretary of State, and Treasurer. Every Coloradan's vote counts equally no matter where in the state that person lives, and the candidates who receive the most votes win that election. It is well beyond the time that these same principles apply to the presidential race as well.

That is why the League of Women Voters, a trusted non-partisan voice for education and inclusion in the political process, has supported a direct election of the president since 1970 and the National Popular Vote since 2006. We believe more voters will participate when they know their voice will matter and their vote will count.

We know the current way we elect our President does not do that and it harms our democracy.

Proposition 113 is on the ballot this fall as a referendum after the Colorado legislature and Governor Polis entered Colorado into the National Popular Vote interstate agreement in 2019. Colorado is one of fifteen states plus Washington D. C. that has become a part of it, and once enough states sign on the National Popular Vote will be the way we elect our President. Voting Yes on Proposition 113 means we would approve the decision made by our legislature and Governor and remain a part of the National Popular Vote.

Congressman Lewis once said, "The right to vote is precious and almost sacred, and one of the most important blessings of our democracy... We must ensure every vote and every voter counts."

The Estes Park League of Women Voters believes one of the best way to make that statement a reality is to support Proposition 113, the National Popular Vote.

How Can You Prepare For The “New Retirement�?

A generation or so ago, people didn’t just retire from work – many of them also withdrew from a whole range of social and communal activities. But now, it’s different: The large Baby Boom cohort, and no doubt future ones, are insisting on an active lifestyle and continued involvement in their communities and world. So, what should you know about this “new retirement?�

And how can you prepare for it?

For starters, consider what it means to be a retiree today. The 2020 Edward Jones/Age Wave Four Pillars of the New Retirement study has identified these four interrelated, key ingredients, along with the connected statistics, for living well in the new retirement: • Health – While physical health may decline with age, emotional intelligence – the ability to use emotions in positive ways – actually improves, according to a well-known study from the University of California, among others. However, not surprisingly, retirees fear Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia more than any physical ailment, including cancer or infectious diseases, according to the “Four Pillarsâ€? study. • Family – Retirees get their greatest emotional nourishment from family relationships – and they’ll do anything it takes to help support those family members, even if it means sacrificing their own financial security. Conversely, retirees lacking close connections with family and friends are at risk for all the negative consequences resulting from physical and social isolation. • Purpose – Nearly 90% of Americans feel that there should be more ways for retirees to use their talents and knowledge for the benefit of their communities and society at large. Retirees want to spend their time in useful, rewarding ways – and they’re well capable of doing so,

given their decades of life experience. Retirees with a strong sense of purpose have happier, healthier lives and report a higher quality of life. • Finances – Retirees are less interested in accumulating more wealth than they are in having sufficient resources to achieve the freedom to live their lives as they choose. Yet, retirees frequently find that managing money in retirement can be even more challenging than saving for it. And the “unknownsâ€? can be scary: Almost 70% of those who plan to retire in the next 10 years say they have no idea what their healthcare and longterm care costs will be in retirement.

So, if you’re getting close to retirement, and you’re considering these factors, how can you best integrate them into a fulfilling, meaningful way of life? You’ll want to take a “holistic� approach by asking yourself some key questions: What do you want to be able to do with your time and money? Are you building the resources necessary to enjoy the lifestyle you’ve envisioned? Are you prepared for the increasing costs of health care as you age?

Have you taken the steps to maintain your financial independence, and avoid burdening your family, in case you need some type of long-term care? Have you created the estate plans necessary to leave the type of legacy you desire?

By addressing these and other issues, possibly with the help of a financial professional, you can set yourself on the path toward the type of retirement that’s not really a retirement at all – but rather a new, invigorating chapter of your life.

“IF I WERE A RICH MAN...”

Perhaps you remember these words from a famous movie and Broadway show entitled 'The Fiddler on the Roof. In a song, Tevye suggests to God what many in this time of pandemic fully understand, that he realizes that there are many poor people and that while it is 'no shame to be poor, it is no honor either'. Therefore, If God would make him rich, here are things that would happen: 'he wouldn't have to work hard'; 'he would build a big, tall house with rooms by the dozen';' he'd fill his yard with all kinds of chicks, turkeys, geese and ducks'; 'he'd see his wife looking like a rich man's wife'; 'the important men in town would come to him for advice'; and, finally, and potentially the most important thing, he would have more time to pray and learn God's Word'. So, after considering Tevye's proposal, what would yours be 'if you were a rich man'?

Perhaps this seems to be a foolish question in a time when so many have lost so much. However, it merits our consideration because so many harbor the hope that 'lots of money' will solve all their problems. There are many during this time who are taking undue advantage of the governmental aid that is direly needed by truly needing and deserving people. Others have stepped up scamming efforts to take advantage of already deprived and suffering people. The Bible warns those 'who would be rich...' and will certainly hold every person accountable for the way they gain and use their money.

So, let's take a moment to remind ourselves of some general principles about 'stewardship' of God's material things. First of all, it is good to remember that money falls far short of being a 'cure-all' for all man's needs. Someone has stated it this way: "Money can buy: medicine...but not health; a house...but not a home; food...but not an appetite; a bed...but not sleep; companionship...but not friends; a diamond...but not love; a good life...but not eternal life." There are so many who have learned these truths the hard way.

Years ago, Paul Simon wrote a song describing the enviable lifestyle of a very rich man, Richard Cory, son of a banker and owner of the local factory, where people worked and noticed and envied his lavish lifestyle. The song summed it up: 'He had everything a man could want: power, grace, and style.' Naturally, then, people dreamed: 'Oh, I wish, that I could be Richard Cory.' The song ends, after dwelling on all he had, "So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read: 'Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head'."

Second of all, we need to be reminded of the 'uncertainty of riches' as the Bible describes it. There are two very 'uncertain' things to be considered when thinking about money, both being very evident during this time in our nation's history. One is 'money' itself.

Millions of people were 'rocking along' feeling quite secure in the level of their assets: they had jobs, they had a 'settled' home environment, they had manageable car and other payments, they had a little 'set aside for a rainy day', and then 'trouble came'. God's writer, James, says. "Don't say. 'Today or tomorrow we will do this or that...you don't know what a day will bring." And many have learned how true that is as they apply for unemployment benefits, their family's stimulus check and food stamps. As Tevye says, 'It is no shame to be poor’, but it certainly presents its challenges.

A second thing that can fail in our discussion about 'counting on riches' is 'life itself’. Jesus once told a story about a man who 'looked at his bumper crop, so abundant that he was going to have to build more bins to store them in. He smiled: "I have goods that will last me for several years. I will eat, drink, and be merry." But it was not to be. "Tonight you will die. Who will inherit what you will never get to enjoy?" We've certainly seen it during the pandemic. While we are told that poorer people are at greater risk for the virus, people in all wealth levels are dying from it I remember a poem about a man who wasted his health to gain great wealth, then wasted his wealth in efforts to regain his health. It ended with: 'Now with neither health, nor wealth, there isn't much to say, excepting 'let us pray'. The best thing we can do is 'trust in treasures in heaven', moths, rust, thieves, nor a pandemic can affect them, and we'll receive a good return.

Five Fun Facts About…Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrels By: Dawn Wilson

This week’s featured animal is a frequently seen critter in Estes Valley, the golden-mantled ground squirrel.

Since I featured our three local chipmunks last week, I thought the goldenmantled ground squirrel deserved a little attention this week. These animals are very similar in appearance to chipmunks and are often confused for their better-known cousin. The easiest way to identify chipmunks from the golden-mantled ground squirrel is to look for the stripes from the eyes; golden-mantled ground squirrels do not have stripes but rather have a white circle around the eye. Goldenmantled ground squirrels are also a little larger but that can be hard to identify without having the animals next to each other.

1. The golden-mantled ground squirrel hibernates much of the year, typically going into an underground burrow in October and not emerging again until May.

2. These small mammals are named for the golden colored mantle over their head and shoulders that resembles a cloak.

3. To keep its fur clean, the goldenmantled will roll around in dust and dirt, and uses its claws and teeth for preening its fur.

4. Golden-mantled ground squirrels can be found throughout Rocky Mountain National Park and a few in Estes Park. Look for them near their favorite types of burrows under downed trees or large boulders.

5. Unlike most ground squirrels, the golden-mantled prefers to live alone after living the beginning of its life with its mother and siblings.

There are a few trends emerging from last month’s gathering. There are also trends emerging from conversations with neighbors and friends. Bottom line is: a lot of organizations need help and a lot of people want to help. But how? Doing what?

The Nonprofit Relief Fund has now given away $51k to local organizations.

The greatest request we have received from organizations is general help replacing lost income due to COVID. Fundraisers and otherwise regularly generated income is down for most organizations. About $23k of the Nonprofit Relief Fund grants, or about 45% or the money raised and donated, has Town employees and Philanthropy Committee helping build a home for Habitat for been put to keeping the lights on, the Humanity.

Canada thistle Cirsium arvense This aggressive thistle reproduces by deep and extensive roots and seeds, and can form large stands that are diffi‐ cult to manage. Flowers are smaller than other noxious thistles, 1/2" ‐ 3/4" across, and are pink to light purple, rarely white. Leaves and stems have painful spines.

Plants may grow to 4' tall. To manage: Cut flowerheads and seedheads to suppress seed production; bag and dispose. Herbicides are necessary for eradication. Hand‐ pulling and mowing encourages new plants to grow from remaining roots, and requires persistent management.

Mountain Bikers Get Ampted At Estes Park Center Approximately 45 mountain bikers and volunteers gathered at YMCA of the Rockies Estes Park Center Saturday, Aug. 8 for Pedals and Prosthetics, an event to inspire camaraderie, confidence and commitment to an active lifestyle.

Ampt Biking put on the event to offer adaptive athletes an opportunity to get together, share their stories and experiences and put in some mountain bike miles. The Estes Park Center donated space and mountain bikes to help make the event possible.

Ampt Biking is located in Estes Park and is an outreach with the purpose of encouraging and empowering amputees through biking, according to its website.

With the event, Ampt Biking founder

Matthew Beall, is fulfilling what he considers his calling. Beall is a congenital amputee, meaning he was born with his disability. During the event, he told participants that though he was always very active growing up, he never wanted to be different from other kids. “Later I learned it was OK to be different.”

When he started mountain biking in 2008 he discovered that mountain bikers are like a big family. “I really noticed the camaraderie and felt much less isolated,” he shared. “That’s what I wanted to do with Ampt – to reach out to all those people who are isolated because of their amputation and bring them together to be part of the family.”

At the event at the Estes Park Center, mountain bikers of all levels got together to learn from one another. Some were trying the sport for the first time and started out just riding in the parking lot. Others were shuttled up hill and enjoyed the property’s newly built trails winding down through forests and past streams. Others took the challenge to ride up to the top of the property and earn the ride down.

Over lunch, they had the opportunity to share their own stories and hear from others who remain active and competitive, despite their injuries.

One of those who shared his story with

the group was Mike Schultz, owner of Biodapt, a company that designs and manufactures prosthetics for adaptive athletes as well as veterans. Schulz was a professional Snocross racer and was competing in a championship in 2008 when he lost control of his snowmobile and hyper-extended his knee when he hit the ground feet first at 45 miles per

and Paralympic Games.

“My advice to you,” he told the Pedals and Prosthetics participants, “is to latch onto something that makes you smile – mentally and physically – and take that as far as you can go.”

Beall is hoping to make the event an

hour. After a few complications, his leg had to be amputated just above the knee.

“As a professional athlete, it was devastating,” he said.

But he decided he wanted to continue as an athlete and began to design a prosthetic for himself that would allow him to get back into competition. Since then he has won gold medals at the X Games

annual one at Estes Park Center and then take it beyond Colorado to benefit as many amputee athletes as possible. “I am just so grateful to everyone at YMCA of the Rockies who helped us put this event together,” he said. “It is so important for these athletes to get together, share their stories and see what is possible.”

Family Book Club And Read-Aloud: Lafcadio The Lion Families are invited to share the joy of reading and discussion through the library’s next Family Book Club and Read-Aloud, hosted on Zoom. This month’s featured book is “Lafcadio: the lion who shot back”, a classic by author Shel Silverstein.

First published in 1963, “Lafcadio” is a whimsical tale of self-discovery and marshmallows. The story asks, “Is a famous, successful, and admired lion a

happy lion? Or is he a lion at all?”

Written and drawn with wit and gusto, Shel Silverstein’s modern fable still speaks to all ages. This was Silverstein’s first children’s book, and it launched his career as a bestselling children’s author and illustrator. He went on to publish children’s poetry classics like “Where the Sidewalk Ends” and “A Light in the Attic.”

Children’s Librarian Chase Chauffe will present a live two-part read-aloud of “Lafcadio” on Wednesday, August 19 and on Friday, August 21 at 1:30 p.m.

Participants are then invited to join the book discussion on Saturday, August 22 from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Anyone who has not read the book is still encouraged to join the Saturday discussion.

All events are online via Zoom.

Participants may register now at estesvalleylibrary.org, and stop by the library for a complimentary copy of the book.

2020 offers all of us the opportunity to celebrate not only the passage of the 19th Amendment but also the achievements of women over that last 100 years. Celebrations are planned nation-wide, in every state and in local communities. A number of local organizations and community leaders, under the leadership of Jean McGuire, have formed a committee to coordinate the local celebration under the title, “100 Years: A Celebration of Women.” As a part of the festivities, we plan to collect stories about Estes Valley women in the form of paragraphs. Submission period: now to August 26. Maximum length: 200 words, A story about any woman with a connection to Estes Park. These paragraphs will be collected by the Estes Valley Library. They will then appear in the local newspapers and 100 will be chosen to be published as a booklet for November release.

Submit your paragraphs digitally (preferred) to chomanwendell@estesvalleylibrary.org or hard copy to the front desk. Here is the next of the submissions.

The Story Of Ruby Bode

The Story Of Donna Shavlik By: Jean McGuire

Donna Shavlik, a tour de force, along with her accomplished husband Frank, have been members of the Estes Park community since 1998.

Donna and Frank have supported a number of local non-profits in the community.

Donna encountered resistance to women’s equality early in her professional life. She enrolled in CSU intending to major in botany—until a male faculty member told her, “Girls don’t do that.” From formative experiences such as this, Donna went on to make significant contributions to the advancement of women’s equality.

Donna studied at CSU and the University of Kansas and spent some time as director of student activities at the Colorado Women’s College, now the University of Denver Women’s College. She also worked for universities in Delaware and Alabama. From 1973-1997, Donna was on the staff of the American Council on Education (ACE), Office of Women in Higher

Education (OWHE), and served as director for the last 15 years. ACE and OWHE worked with Congress and other stakeholders to develop and implement Title IX. Donna also focused on the advancement of women into senior leadership positions in higher education and devoted herself to developing state and national-level mentorship and networking programs for women.

The American Association of University Women named Donna to their “Women of Distinction” honor roll in 1989. In 1997, in recognition of Donna’s tireless efforts on behalf of women’s equality and leadership, ACE established the annual Donna Shavlik Award to honor an individual whose leadership advances women in higher education. In 1998, Donna was the first recipient of the Myra Sadker Equity Award for Women Leaders in Education. In 2015, Donna was the first recipient of the League of Women Voters of Colorado’s Eva Fifkova Legacy Lifetime Achievement Award.

The Story Of Muriel MacGregor And MacGregor Ranch By: Steve Mitchell

Today the 1,200-acre MacGregor Ranch is an example of a working, turn-of-the-century, high altitude ranch thanks to the foresight of Muriel MacGregor and the efforts of a group of dedicated volunteers. Born in 1904, Muriel grew up on the ranch where she played with her dog Tiger and rode her Shetland pony Zephyr.

Muriel was one of the first woman lawyers in Colorado, earning a law degree from the University of Denver in

1934. When her parents Donald and Maude MacGregor died in 1950, Muriel worked the ranch homesteaded in 1873 by her grandparents Alexander and Clara MacGregor. But bills mounted and the cows broke through fences, causing conflicts with neighbors. When Muriel died in 1970, her will directed that MacGregor Ranch be left in trust for charitable and educational purposes. The Muriel L. MacGregor Charitable Trust was formed in 1978.

As the Middle School principal, Ruby Bode was always willing to do whatever it would take for the students to learn, grow, and succeed, not only in the classroom, but also out in the world. Whether it was organizing a day of community service activities for the entire school, or sitting with three or four students in her office making sure that they kept up with their work while she did hers, Ruby was always working for the benefit of the students.

Ruby also recognized that good teaching is the key to good learning.

Instead of the meaningless comment

“You’re doing fine,” which is the feedback many other administrators might give to teachers, she gave detailed feedback that would help teachers to improve their practice. One time she rearranged her schedule so she could support a struggling teacher by working one-on-one with that person, planning lessons and co-teaching the class, then still worried whether she could have done more. She also created a system for the teachers to go observe each other and leave feedback, knowing that teachers can learn from other teachers.

Ruby’s efforts helped many teachers to improve, and therefore help the students to improve.
