At its Sept. 10 regular meeting, the Estes Park Town Board set an election date of Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2019, for voters to decide on a citizen-initiated ordinance to permit the operation of a limited number of marijuana facilities within Town limits. Registered voters within town limits may vote in the mailballot election, and a simple majority will determine if the ordinance is adopted. Ballots will be mailed the week of Nov. 18. The complete proposed ordinance with petitions and Statement of Sufficiency are available at www.estes.org/petitions. For more information, please contact the Clerk's office at 970-577-4777. Election updates will be posted at www.estes.org/elections.

Mayor Todd Jirsa commented, "The Town's role at this time is to simply carry out the election, supporting the wishes of the voters and the democratic process.

We encourage interested citizens to form issue committees to campaign, whether in support of, or opposition to, the ordinance." Any individuals who intend to raise funds to campaign for or against the initiated ordinance are required to register as an issue committee with the Town Clerk's office.

In accordance with Colorado Revised Statutes Title 31, the election timeline is based on the date the signed petition was submitted by the petitioners (July 31) and subsequently, the date the Town Clerk issued a Statement of Sufficiency for the petition (Aug. 28), which must be within 30 days of its submission. Within 20 days of the Statement of Sufficiency, the Town Board has only two options. It may either adopt the ordinance as submitted, or refer the ordinance to the voters at a municipal election. Since the board did not adopt the ordinance, the ordinance was required to be referred to the registered electors of the municipality at a regular or special election held not less than sixty days and not more than one hundred fifty days after the final determination of petition sufficiency.

The election may not be held within 90 days of a regular Municipal Election (April 7, 2020) or within 32 days of the General Election (Nov. 5, 2019). The special election cost is estimated at $20,000 excluding staff time.

If approved by voters, the initiated ordinance will allow the operation of retail

If you are heading to Rocky Mountain National Park, you'll definitely want to get your hands on this hiking guide. Written by professional photographer and avid outdoorsman who has spent the last 15 years hiking every trail in the park, this guide covers everything you need to know to have a safe and amazing experience in one of our nation's most beautiful national parks.

"The Rocky Mountain Conservancy, which since 1931 has served as the philanthropic steward of Rocky Mountain National Park, recommends Erik Stenland's book. His message is very much our own." - Jim Pickering, RMC Board President Erik Stensland was born in Minnesota and moved with his family to Montana where he developed his deep love for the mountains. After several years working in the Balkans for a nonprofit initiative, where Erik met his wife Joanna, they decided to return to the United States and settled in Colorado with their son, Luke.

Erik quickly became intimate with

Rocky Mountain National Park and opened his own gallery in Estes Park in 2007. Erik has authored several books including Wild Light: A Celebration of Rocky Mountain National Park. This book is the result of work spanning over a decade of exploring and photographing this unique wilderness.

Two new books that Eric has published are Memories of Rocky Mountain National Park and Photographing Rocky Mountain National Park. Memories is a paperback version of Wild Lights but includes all new photographs that have never been published in book form before.

Photographing Rocky Mountain National Park is a landscape photographers guide on how to photograph Rocky Mountain National Park. These two new additions are available at the Trail Ridge Store and will be available for the photographers signing.

Every person on the planet is getting older. Not a single one of us can escape the phenomenon, which begins the day we are born. The number of years we exist on the planet doesn’t have as much to do with how far over the hill we are as our attitude about those years. We can grumble and complain about aches and pains or we can get moving, stay engaged, and celebrate every little thing, from a kiss on the cheek to finding an earthworm in the garden.

Most people I know are handling the aging process well. Me? I wish there were a marching band I could be a part of but think about it—have you ever seen an adult marching band perform at a football game? Why don’t adults have marching bands, I’ve often wondered? Playing pennywhistle in an old time fiddle band is a fun substitute. I also dream of playing soccer like I did when I was in my 20s. Pickleball is a nice alternative.

No matter how positive we are about gaining seniority however, we simply can’t grin and bear it every single solitary day. It simply isn’t possible. By nature, we are bound to have a down day every once in awhile.

I had one of those recently. My get-upand-go got up and went. I was feeling like life was passing me by; I wasn’t accomplishing anything and wasn’t learning anything new.

To snap out of it, I decided to take notes of everything I learned that day. Here are the results of that experiment: • I learned two new words: prolixity, which means long-windedness (nothing will age us more than hanging with someone cursed with prolixity), and plinth, which is a heavy base supporting a statue. (It’s one of my new favorite words. Need a day brightener? Walk around saying plinth. Plinth. Plinthyplinth-plinth-plinth. See? I bet you feel better already.)

• As I was looking through old recipes from the Minnie Garland Mitchell Wood family cookbook, I came upon one that called for Milnot. I’d never heard of it so I googled it, of course. First marketed in 1912, Milnot is canned evaporated milk with the animal fat removed and replaced with vegetable oil. “Filled milk” was popular before refrigeration was widely available because of its long shelf life. Not exactly sweetened condensed milk nor straight evaporated milk, Mil-

not has its own character that fluffs up like whipping cream when you beat it with an electric mixer. Supposedly it is still made today so I am on the hunt to find it and use it to make Uncooked Fruit Cake. (Or something else. The recipe I found calls for marshmallows, graham crackers, candy orange slices, sugar, dates and whipped Milnot. My teeth hurt just thinking about it.)

• Dan the Banjo Man sent a message the day I was blue, suggesting I learn about malapropisms. That’s when you mistakenly use a word that sounds a lot like the word you meant to use. One example is attributed to a former politician: “He was a man of great statue.” Politicians are notorious for using malapropisms—especially politicians with prolixity.

• At a festival commemorating the origin of the Santa Fe, California and Oregon Trails, someone asked how old the harmonica is. Nobody in the group knew but we all assumed it went way back, like so many folk instruments. But when I researched it, I discovered the harmonica, or mouth organ, was invented in 1821.

That’s relatively new in the musical instrument world.

• On my Day of Discovery, I came upon this quote by Molly Ivins. “I am not antigun. I'm pro-knife. Consider the merits of the knife. In the first place, you have to catch up with someone in order to stab him. A general substitution of knives for guns would promote physical fitness.

We'd turn into a whole nation of great runners. Plus, knives don't ricochet. And people are seldom killed while cleaning their knives.”

• Lastly, why didn’t anyone ever tell me how easy it is to replace an air filter in an automobile? After my brother-in-law sent a You Tube video of a 10-year-old girl explaining how to do it, I went ahead and made my own day by replacing the air filter in my car. Piece of cake. It took all of about 30 seconds and I saved a bunch of money.

There’s only one alternative to getting older. Generally speaking, it’s better to be over the hill than under it.

Help Hurricane Dorian Survivors – How You Can Help

The devastation is real. The devastation will be long term and the beautiful people of the Bahamas need our help.

If you’ve ever been to the “real Bahamas,” the communities beyond the resorts and casinos, you will find incredibly friendly people living a life not many Americans have ever experienced. The island setting is beautiful but the economy and living conditions paint a very different picture. Jobs are scarce, a gallon of milk will cost the locals $10.00 and the infrastructure such as power and clean water are inconsistent at best. This describes Abaco Island before Hurricane Dorian.

The reported death toll is 45 but the local Bahama press reported the estimate could be more than 3000.

An organized response from the Bahamian government has been slow and very much disorganized. Yet the need is immediate and the help can come from you directly into the hands of a family in need.

Carol Beard, at the Farmhouse Market here in Estes Park, who with her husband has been visiting the Abaco and

Eluthera Islands for 19 years doing missions work with the Bahamian & Haitian communities. Beard has established an “on the ground” team that is distributing gift certificates to the refugees who have landed in Eleuthera Island from Abaco and Freeport. Beard says, “These families have lost everything as well as access to money, jobs and basic living essentials. With our contacts, anyone can purchase these gift certificates for the hurricane survivors by calling “The Market

Place Grocery Store, in Rock Sound, Eleuthera +1 242-334-2254. These certificates will be in their hands without any delay and also without any organization taking any portion of the funds.

100% of the donations will be given to the survivors of Hurricane Dorian.

The majority of the people sent to Eleuthera arrived with only the clothes on their backs. They lost their jobs,

homes, food, vehicles and not to mention family members and loved ones.

We have heard reports that babies have been in the same diapers for six days.

“People are confused right now, people are angry, people are tired," McKenzie said. "We eat everything in this boat [referring to the mail boat] because there wasn’t no food. I had to leave my wife, my children, so many people laying on the ground in the moldy house."

Please join us in giving immediate and practical support to the survivors of Hurricane Dorian.

If you would like to help the ease the suffering of these survivors you may contact the following: Market Place Store, Meridian Hwy, Rock Sound, The Bahamas, Phone: +1 242-334-2254.

Thomas Sands – Owner Chandra Sands Jasmin Rahming If you would like more information you can talk to Carol Beard Friday-Sunday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Farmhouse Market 423 W. Elkhorn Ave. here in Estes Park.

Is this your lucky day? Friday the 13th is supposed to be a day of bad luck. This superstition has two origins. One originates from the story of the Last Supper where there were 13 present, Jesus Christ and the twelve disciples; Judas making up the 13th member attending.

Therefore number 13 is considered an unlucky number whereas 12 is considered a very good number. Another theory is that King Louis IV chose that day Friday the 13th, to arrest many of the Knight Templars and have them burned at the stake. It was a “rigged” operation but certainly absolved him from a lot of debt. The leader of the knights called out a curse on all attending. So, beware of black cats crossing your path or walking under ladders today. I think it is a lot of bosh and humbug myself, but I will be extra cautious, just in case.

The recipe I am giving you today came about because I had two cucumbers and had to take a salad to a potluck function. Theresa and Ed came from Houston to visit for Labor Day weekend. I bought far too much food for their visit and am still either eating or freezing most of it, and cucumbers do not freeze very well!

I searched the web for some new ideas and ones that I could use things I already had in my pantry and refrigerator.

The salad turned out rather tasty, but I did change it to my taste. I found it needed a bit of “pepping up.” I still think you could cut down on the olive oil. I also added the sugar, red pepper flakes and lemon juice. I think I did a few other things from the original. I only had to buy tomatoes and red onion. Oh well, hope you like it, it makes a bunch. * I salted the cucumbers and let them sit awhile, rinsed them and squeezed them dry in a tea towel (dish cloth).

Feel free to make your own changes.

Italian Cucumber Summer Salad 8 oz. of elbow pasta or bow or any small pasta of your choice, cooked.

One carton of cherry or grape tomatoes, cut in half 1/4-1/2 cup hard salami, cut in bite size pieces One large can of whole black olives, 6 oz.

1⁄2 tsp. or more to your taste of red pepper flakes 1⁄2 cup olive oil, next time I would use a little less.

1-2 tsp. dried basil 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 1-2 Tbs. lemon juice (or more to taste).

3 cloves fresh garlic pressed through a garlic press or 1 tsp. garlic powder 1-2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. black pepper 2 cucumbers, * prepared as above 1⁄2 red onion, sliced thin 2 tsp. sugar Mix the oil, vinegar, basil, salt, peppers, sugar, lemon juice, garlic together.

Place tomatoes and onion in this dressing and allow to soak a little. In large bowl mix all ingredients and taste to adjust seasonings. I allowed the salad to chill a day before adjusting.

If the picnic is cancelled because of inclement weather I am going to be eating a lot of salad for a very long time.

Maybe I will start tonight just in case.

Now that the Scottish Festival is over, Sunshine can stop protecting me every time the cannons boom. She would perk up her ears, bark and come stand or lay by my side. Was she protecting me or was it the other way around?

Maha, Christian and bartender Dylan show off some Avant Garde ales.

Enjoy An Old World Experience At Avant Garde Brewing Company Avant Garde Aleworks LLC opened in Estes Park on July 4, 2019 with owners Mark and Christian Newendorp and Maha Jaya.

Christian and Maha conceived the idea for Avant Garde brewery while working at Bart’s Liquor. The two closely followed the trends of beer at Bart’s and decided to try their hands at home brewing.

Maha said they are the second brewery in the world to have one of these.

Their current taplist includes the following beers: English Style Stout Single Hop Pale Ale French Style Saison West Coast IPA

Christian and Maha brewed intensely for a year and a half, three times a week to perfect their craft. Maha said, “After pulling off many of the styles that we were purchasing in the store, we decided to really go for it as a business!�

Christian is a graduate of EPHS and has a degree in Petroleum Engineering and a homebrewing background.

Maha said he grew up brewing and fermenting anything with sugar with his family in the Ozark mountains. He added, “We loved making wild berry wines with ingredients found in the local woods.�

Their brewing focus at Avant Garde is primarily ales of Old World Europe with an emphasis on Belgian and French styles. Maha said, “I have traveled and lived in both places, so Christian and I decided to bring the flavors and aesthetics we love from there, back to the Rocky Mountains.

At Avant Garde they have five fermentation vessels upstairs and seven in the lower level. They are extremely proud of their automatic, state of the art, pneumatic brewing system.

A really unique aspect of their brewing process includes a round, clay vessel in the lower level of the building, called a “Clayver.� This vessel is used to age white wine in Switzerland but Maha and Christian brought this one in to age their pilsners. The clay deposits from the clayver enrich the beer with minerals.

Wee Heavy Scottish Ale Belgian Golden Strong Biere De Garde Belgian Style Quad Coming soon are the Dubbel, October Fest, Belgian Saison, Keller Pils and Irish Red. Each of their beers are carefully crafted and placed in wax-sealed bombers, 32 ounce cans or may be enjoyed in their tap-

room.

They also offer a variety of snacks to enjoy with your brew, including their big Bavarian pretzel and they have crowlers of beer to go. “Avant Garde Aleworks offers a very unique space in Estes Park. We designed and built our space from a blank slate� said Maha. He added, “We drew our inspiration from Europe, from our modern edgy interior to our Old World style courtyard. Furniture was flown in from France and our unique fountain design is based on a fountain we’ve seen at the Opera House in Denver.�

Maha used to design sound studios for a living and wanted the inside of the brewery to have a state of the art sound system. He engineered the interior of the brewery so that it features crystal clear sound.

Perfect for evenings when they feature music in the tap room or for their upcoming Obscure Cinema nights in the

brewery.

In the future, they plan to continue progressing their brewing techniques to offer a truly unique experience. They have been enjoying bringing in musical talent to their patrons, and will continue being a hub for local artists and musicians who draw inspiration from their space.

Maha said, “Our goal is to provide a completely unique Old World experience at Avant Garde. In the two months we’ve been open, things have been great!

We strive to bring creative and unique twists, while adhering to ancient aging methods. We look forward to serving you, and hope you will make Avant Garde Aleworks a part of your mountain escape.�

Avant Garde Aleworks is located at 920 Dunraven Street, Estes Park, 970-5912700. Check it out!

Next Monitored Weed Drop-Off September 28

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

The next Monitored Weed Drop-off will be held Saturday, September 28 from 9:00 to noon located north of the Waste Management transfer station at 666 Elm Road, behind the new recycling center.

Estes Land Stewardship Association (ELSA) volunteers will be on hand to answer weed questions and unload your bags. Bring in your noxious weeds in paper yard bags for free disposal – no slash, pine needles or cones, other yard waste, trash, or dirt. Please remove/shake off dirt from plant roots. Unauthorized drop-offs at this location are considered theft of services. Weeds and trash can be disposed of year-around at Waste Management for a fee. Only bags of noxious weed materials will be accepted at this event! Please do not bring non-noxious weeds; this will jeopardize hosting these costly events in the future. 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 (ELSA), Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Estes Valley Land Trust, and donations. To date 1,771 bags have been collected at the June, July, and August Monitored Weed Drop-Offs & Roundup. Free “Fourteen Very Unwanted Weeds in the Estes Valley Identification and Management Guide” weed booklets are available year round at the Estes Valley Library and at Town Hall Public Works Office, and at the Farmers Market during the summer months.

Electronic versions are posted on the Town of Estes Park website: www.estes.org/weeds. ELSA meets the first Thursday of the month at 9:30 a.m. in the George Hix Room at US Bank.

For more information about ELSA contact: elsa.weeds@gmail.com

Patriots For Peace Meeting September 18

You are invited to join the Estes Park Patriots for Peace in celebrating the International Day of Peace with an International Feast for Peace on Wednesday, September 18th at the Estes Valley Public Library from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The Patriots for Peace is a transpartisan, inclusive organization dedicated to “building a culture of peace at every level of society.”

We invite you to bring a potluck dish with an international flair. To further our dinner conversations we suggest also bringing an artifact, photo or story to share which reflects a moment of mutual cultural understanding and good will.

The Day of Peace and Feast of Peace are the culmination of the “Eleven Days of

Global Unity,” a campaign of We the World, to unite and amplify the efforts of people, organizations and movements working for the common good, accessed at WE.net.

These programs were developed in partial response to the terrorist attacks of 9/11/2001.

Looking forward in our program planning, we will be focusing on the “Peace Literacy” work espoused by Paul K. Chappell, a West Point graduate who served seven years in Iraq before leaving the service to develop his peace advocacy work.

Chappell has written a series of books about “The Road to Peace,” which will be the basis of our next several meetings. He is an international peace educator and serves as the Peace Literacy Director of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation. His website is www.peacefulrevolution.com. We encourage any interested community members to find out more about Chappell by visiting his website, reading his books, or joining us in our next meetings as we explore and develop our ideas about “waging peace.”

I love to receive calls requesting me to assist in a wedding of a young couple committed to a life-time together. I remember one of that nature. A father called to ask me to perform a wedding for his daughter and her fiancĂŠe. It would be conducted in downtown Denver on a Saturday afternoon‌not my favorite place or time‌but I was honored to be asked and happy to officiate. It turned out to be one of the most enjoyable weddings I ever conducted. One reason for that was that I was the only caucasian in the crowd of 300 that gathered. However, I was graciously accepted and the ceremony went beautifully. We knew that it was going to be a fun wedding, when, as the young ‘flower girl’ came down the aisle, joyfully dropping flower petals with great pomp and circumstance she was followed by an even younger ‘ring bearer’, who, thinking it was his ‘job’, ceremoniously picked up each of the petals, as the audience roared with laughter. The wedding went beautifully right down to the ‘jumping the broom’ tradition and the ‘unity sand’, instead of a ‘unity candle’. The memories of that joyous occasion will be with me always, as well as the joy of seeing that couple as they move through life.

Much less welcome was a phone call I received more recently to tell me of a man’s wife of 52 years having passed away and to see if I would officiate at her memorial service. We laid out some tentative plans, setting the stage for a wonderful celebration of the life of a dear Christian wife, mother, and grandmother, and Sister in Christ. Like so many other such occasions I am always blessed to be a part of celebrating the successful completion of a ‘race well run’. Like most memorial services we always enjoy the sharing by family members and acquaintances of the memorable and happy times they shared with their loved one. The Apostle Paul writes, “We sorrow not, like those who have no hope.� So, while their loved one will dearly be missed, we rejoice with the family the life successfully lived.

At times like this, as I think about the many good things that will be shared at the service, whether the service is a wedding or a memorial. Family members are greatly encouraged and blessed by having a good group of well-wishers showing up to honor their ‘union’ or to share their ‘loss’ with them. However, those are not the only times we need to encourage them. Garrison Keillor, well-known radio speaker on the Prairie Home Companion Show once made this observation. “They say such nice things about people at their funerals that it makes me sad to realize that I’m going to miss mine by just a few days.� Contrast that belated sharing of ways one has blessed the lives of others with a celebration held to honor one still living, who, after hearing all the complimentary and touching things that were said, commented: “It felt like I was awake at my own funeral.�

A handwritten poem, by an anonymous author, said it so well: “In this world today, while we’re living, some folks say the worst of us they can. But when we are dead and in our caskets, they always slip some lilies in our hand. Won’t you give me my flowers while I’m living, and let me enjoy them while I can? Please don’t wait ‘till I’m ready to be buried and then slip some lilies in my hand. In this world is where we need our flowers‌a kind word to help us along, If you can’t give me flowers while I’m living, please don’t send them when I’m gone.â€?

Let’s give people ‘lilies’ while they are with us so that those we give when they are gone will be coming from sincere hearts. At the same time, this might be a good time to consider our own lives and give thought to what we would want people to be able to say about us at‌or before‌our memorial service. Perhaps we would do well to write our ‘obituary’ as we would like it to appear someday. We might enjoy more ‘lilies’ that way!

“I Still Believe” Russ Taff In Estes Park September 21 To Tell His Story Have you or someone you loved battled addiction? Most who have walked this lonely road experience much pain and a good dose of shame. Can you imagine being a gospel singer and struggling with a secret addiction? This is the case with Russ Taff. Over Russ’s illustrious career he has collected six Grammys, 18 Dove awards and has been inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame three, (yes three) times! Yet underneath all the success Russ suffered from childhood trauma that led him toward alcohol as a means of dulling the pain.

Russ’s father was a fire breathing Pentecostal preacher and an alcoholic. His mother was verbally and physically abusive. He was repeatedly told he was no good, worthless, a waste of space. Russ carried this pain with him as he became more and more successful. After years of cycling through sobriety and relapse, Russ finally dealt with the childhood trauma that continued to haunt him.

He’s been sober for over a dozen years now.

A couple of years ago, he and his wife Tori were asked to allow their story to be told through a documentary. Last October the movie “I Still Believe” was released in theaters for a one night showing. Since that time Russ and Tori have been traveling the country showing the film and answering audience questions.

“We just wanted to get the conversation going,” said Russ. “So many people in the church have these deep struggles, our hope is that they come out of the shadows and seek the help that they need.”

“We have been shocked at the number of people who have come to these events and told us their stories of pain around addiction.” Tori said, “The only difference between us and them is that we have a microphone. ” Estes Park residents and visitors have a

golden opportunity to attend one of these events September 21, 6:00 p.m. at Estes Park High School. Ticket cost is

$10, though no one will be turned away.

For advance sales call 970-481-9820.

HyperWHATia? Hyperphagia! Your Actions Can Save The Life Of A Bear Each fall, bears eat, eat, eat as they get ready to sleep, sleep, sleep. This period of massive caloric intake is called hyperphagia. Bears can consume up to 20,000 calories a day! Their quest for calories has begun and we would like to remind you about some important facts: 1. Black bears have big appetites. They are mostly vegetarian but they aren’t picky - anything slightly edible will do. They consider our trash, their food.

2. Black bears are nosey. They are curious and follow their noses to food. Bears can smell food five miles away!

3. Black bears are busybodies. They can be active anytime, anywhere, day or night.

4. Black bears are smart. They learn quickly to identify food, packaging and containers. Once bears find an easy meal they’ll be back for more.

5. Black bears are naturally shy. They usually avoid people, but once conditioned to human food, they may become aggressive.

6. People’s actions can alter bear behavior. Bears that eat human food (and trash) are drawn close to homes and businesses and may become problem animals.

Estes Park has increasing numbers of bear activities and incidents. This summer Estes Park Police have noted increased bear incidents, primarily due to trash management. Multiple bears frequent the town after dark, particularly the commercial area downtown.

These close calls present a safety hazard for our residents and guests. The increase in incidents is likely the result of our past actions. We can do better!

Estes Valley CAN be a great place for people, bears and other watchable wildlife.

We want a healthy bear population so that we all can continue to have memorable wildlife experiences, and we want bears in their natural environment where they can be seen...from a safe distance.

Bears are intelligent, resourceful and amazing animals. As the calendar is rolling through the end of summer with fall in sight, bears will be entering the stage of hyperphagia when they need to eat up to 20,000 calories a day to get ready for hibernation.

People need to be especially cautious with their garbage and food attractants.

Giving bears easy access to food allows them to become comfortable in an area. If they find food they can become aggressive and will act to defend it. A bear protecting its food source can be very dangerous.

Get in the habit of being bear-responsible. It’s like recycling — at first it’s a little extra effort, but soon it becomes a better way to live. And you can be proud you’re helping to make Colorado a better place for people and bears.

Help protect Colorado’s bears by taking the following steps to bear-proof homes and personal property: Keep Bears Out Close and lock all first floor windows and doors when you leave the house and at night before you go to bed.

Install sturdy grates or bars on windows if you must leave them open.

Keep car doors and windows closed and locked if you park outside. Make sure there’s nothing with an odor in your vehicle, including candy, gum, air fresheners, trash, lotions and lip balms.

Close and lock garage doors and windows at night and when you’re not home; garage doors should be down if you are in the house but not outside.

Install extra-sturdy doors if you have a freezer, refrigerator, pet food, birdseed, or other attractants stored in your garage.

Remove any tree limbs that might provide access to upper level decks and windows.

Replace exterior lever-style door handles with good quality round door knobs that bears can’t pull or push open.

Get Rid of Attractants Don’t leave trash out overnight unless it’s in a bear-proof enclosure or container. Be sure to research all local ordinances and regulations if vacationing.

Clean your trash cans regularly.

Don’t store food of any kind in an unlocked garage, flimsy shed or on or under your deck.

Don’t leave anything with an odor outside, near open windows or in your vehicle, even if you’re home. That includes scented candles, air fresheners, lip balms and lotions.

Clean-up thoroughly after picnics in the yard or on the deck, cleaning your grills after each use. Don't allow food odors to linger.

Only feed birds when bears are hibernating, generally Nov. 15 - April 15. If you want to feed birds when bears are active, bring in liquid or seed feeders at night or when you leave the house.

If you have fruit trees, pick fruit before it gets too ripe. Don't allow fruit to rot on the ground. Electric fences provide good protection for small orchards.

When camping do not leave coolers, food or pots/pans out when you're not in camp. Place them in a locked, hardsided vehicle.

Teach Bears to Remain Wild If a bear comes close to your home, scare it away. Loud noises like a firm yell, clapping your hands, banging on pots and pans or blowing an air horn sends most bears running.

Utilize electric fencing, unwelcome mats and scent deterrents like ammonia to teach bears that your property is not bear-friendly.

If a bear enters your home, open doors and windows and ensure it can leave the same way it got in. Don’t approach the bear or block escape routes.

Never approach a bear. If a bear won’t leave, call the EPPD non-emergency number at 970-586-4000.

If a bear presents an immediate threat to human safety, call 911.

Northern Colorado Owl Program To Be Given At The Event Center Scott Rashid, Director of the Colorado Avian Research and Rehabilitation Institute or CARRI; and the author of Small Mountain Owls and The Great Horned Owl and in-depth Study, will be giving a presentation encompassing Northern Colorado’s 12 species of owls. The program will be held on September 24th at 6:00 p.m. at the Estes Park Event Center.

Tickets are available at www.carriep.org During the program, Scott will discuss many fascinating aspects of these seldom seen predators. For example, the diminutive Flammulated Owl, winters in Mexico and migrates to Northern Colorado in the spring, to nest in cavities and feed upon moths and other insects.

Also, the Barn Owl nests in large nest boxes and other man-made structures, and feeds upon voles and other small mammals; and a Barn Owl family will consume over 600 small mammals in a nesting season; and a pair of adult Barn Owls can raise as many as 14 owlets in a single year.

Furthermore, the seven-inch Northern Pygmy Owl; that weighs only two ounces, is only active during the day, and frequently captures birds and animals twice its size. The Great Horned Owl is one of the earliest nesting species in North America and frequently begins nesting in Northern Colorado in February (March, in Estes Park and RMNP).

Also, the Great Horned Owl has the most varied diet of any owl nesting in Colorado. It has been documented feeding upon insects, bats, mice and voles,

rabbits, chickens and turkeys and even other owls and hawks.

Owls do not build their own nests. The small owls nest in abandoned woodpecker cavities and/or nest boxes and some of the larger ones nest in abandoned nests of hawks, ravens, magpies and crows.

Owls are anatomically unique among birds, yet some owls are anatomically unique among owls. For example, most of the owls fly silently, so that their prey does not hear them approaching; yet two owl species do not have a silent flight. Most are cryptically colored, which aid them in remaining camouflaged during the day; yet one is not cryptically colored at all. Most owls see well after dark, yet one owl does not see any better after dark than you and I do; and still some owls migrate in the fall and some remain on their territories year-round.

The owls that will be discussed that evening are the Barn Owl, Burrowing Owl, Great Horned Owl, Long and Short-eared Owls, Northern PygmyOwl, Eastern Screech Owl, Flammulated Owl, Northern Saw-whet Owl, Boreal Owl, Eastern Screech Owl, and the Snowy Owl; which occasionally winters in Northern Colorado.

The program is open to all ages and tickets are only $10.00. You can purchase ticket at www.carriep.org The price of all ticket sales will go directly to help pay to rehabilitate inured birds in the Estes Valley.

The Fine Arts Guild Of The Rockies Presents: ¡Ojaleo! World Class Flamenco Dance And Music people and cultures through music as a way to build community and express our common humanity.” Sandra has toured nationally and internationally exploring Irish, Old-time, Bluegrass, Swedish folk, and Flamenco genres.

Andy Aixel Vargas Varela 12th Grade

Congratulations to Andy Aixel Vargas Varela, the Estes Park High School Student of the Week for September 13, 2019.

When Andy is not in school, she enjoys hiking and playing volleyball with her family. She is really into make-up and loves helping others.

Andy’s favorite quote is “Let your

smile change the world, but don’t let the world change your smile.” This quote appeals to her because she says, “Sometimes you just have to smile through the hard times and not let things affect you.”

After high school, Andy plans to go to cosmetology school and open her own salon.

Bank of Estes Park Student Legacy Award: In addition to being awarded the Student of the Week, each winner will be given the opportunity to nominate the school program of their choice for the chance to win $500. At the end of the school year, one such nomination will be randomly selected, and that school program will be awarded the $500 Bank of Estes Park Student Legacy Award, in that student's name.

Sept. 14 Full Moon

The Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies is excited to bring world renowned musicians and dance to Estes Park on Saturday, September 21 from 7-9 p.m. ¡Ojaleo! is a performance group based in the front range with roots in music and dance around the world. Singer Marisa Perez is a native of Seville, Spain and grew up in a family of singers. She really embraced Flamenco and her roots, however, when she moved to Colorado in 2002. Having studied and performed with many masters of the genre, Marisa has captivated audiences around Colorado and New Mexico, as well as her native Spain, for almost two decades.

Guitarist Steve Mullins’s musical accomplishments are too long to list, with his original compositions featured in such diverse settings as TV commercials, documentaries, NPR, silent movies, and even dancing horse shows at the National Western Stock Show. Steve is a professor of World Music at CU Boulder and the University of Wyoming. A selfproclaimed, “instrument nerd,” Steve loves the art of instruments, stating, “I love the subtleties of their sound, their scale lengths…and the adjectives and metaphors used to describe this elusive thing called ‘tone.’” Rarely is the connection that music creates so apparent, as when listening to and watching Steve Mullins perform with others. Having played all across Europe and the US, Steve brings his vast talent to Estes Park from well-known groups such as the Colorado Music Festival Orchestra, the Boulder Philharmonic, the Longmont Symphony, Denver Brass, Flamenco Denver, Fiesta Colorado, and Barbelfish Balkan Band, among others.

Sandra Wong knew she loved the violin at an early age, but her world was turned upside down when she discovered fiddling in her early 20s. Since then, Sandra has focused on “connecting with other

sion. No one does this with more ease and grace than Salli Gutierrez. Salli has been dedicated to the art of Flamenco for many years. She continues to study with the masters in Spain, and is a wellrespected teacher and performer, herself. Salli communicates her love of movement through Flamenco with incredible elegance, putting her own personality into her dance, and captivating audiences all over the US, Spain, and Mexico. She also leads cultural trips to the Flamenco heart of Spain, sharing her love of Spanish culture, food, art, and language.

Admission is free! The event takes place in Performance Park on W. Elkhorn Ave. Lawn chairs/blankets are encouraged. Donations are accepted for our scholarship fund for two graduating seniors who plan to major in the arts.

Last Nine, Wine & Dine For The Season Set For September 18th

epnews.com

Learn How To Transfer Wealth To The Next Generation

Calling all golfers-this is your last chance to participate in Nine, Wine & Dine this season.

Sign up at the 18 hole golf course front desk for Wednesday September 18th.

Check in is at 3:00 and the prize fee is only $3.00 per player. Players can use their golf pass and cart pass, otherwise the regular fee is $30.00 plus the $3.00 prize fee. Players who are having dinner after nine holes at Smokin’ Dave’s must sign up at the front desk to ensure a reservation with the group. Four prizes will be awarded at the dinner. See you there.

According to The Williams Group, a financial advisory firm, 70% of intergenerational wealth transfers will fail in the second generation. A study by Jay Zagorsky at The Ohio State University found that one third of the people that receive an inheritance have negative savings within two years.

Why do these transfers fail, and how can you ensure that yours does not? Join Estes Park Health Foundation on September 17 at 2 p.m. for a free seminar titled “How Successful Families Approach Money” to learn more. Presenter Jae Shin holds the CIMA (Certified Investment Management Analyst) certification and is a Regional Investment Consultant and Vice President with T. Rowe Price. He’ll talk about the challenges of effectively communicating with family members about money and how to overcome these challenges.

“In this presentation, I’ll provide a framework for families to have more honest and transparent discussions with their loved ones,” Shin said. “This framework is based on effective techniques around communication styles, defining vision, and education.”

“In addition to investment vehicles, there are crucial conversations that facilitate the transfer of assets among family members,” said Kevin Mullin, Executive Director at Estes Park Health Foundation. “It’s important to offer a free forum with no solicitation for community members to learn about their options and discuss their concerns.

Leaving an effective legacy in the Estes Valley Community lifts us all up.”

RSVP at GivetoEPH.org/seminar to reserve your space at this free event located at the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies.

The Estes Park Health Foundation increases community awareness of Estes Park Health, and develops, manages and distributes funds to assist EPH in fulfilling its mission. To learn more about our initiatives or to volunteer, contact us at GiveToEPH.org or 970-577-4370.

Estes Park Light and Power Sparks Students Interest

By: Pamela Frey

On September 9th and 10th Estes Park Light and Power took some time to teach our students about high voltage electricity. Greg, Tyler, Austin, and Charlie all shared their experience with our science classes. They used their demo trailer to show the dangers associated with high voltage electricity and showed our students the safety precautions they take when working with high voltage power lines. Our students learned that our power company is replacing and upgraded existing infrastructure and is also responsible for putting in the high speed internet that will

be in town. They also take care of anything that causes a disruption in our power. Aside from seeing a really cool electric arc, and learning quite a bit about electricity, our kids also got to see Charlie climb an electric pole. As a school we really appreciate the time this crew took to teach our students. They not only talked about electricity, but also a possible career pathway for students once they graduate. Our linemen, groundmen, and journeyman work in pretty extreme conditions to make sure we have electricity. We really appreciate their hard work and them taking the time to share their experiences with us.

Famed Wildlife Photographer Calls The Old Gallery In Allenspark Home His work has been in the Denver Museum of Natural History and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.

He’s been ranked among the top five wildlife photographers in North America.

And you can find him and his photographs at The Old Gallery in Allenspark, just 20 minutes from Estes Park on Highway 7.

Weldon Lee is one of 19 artists featured at The Old Gallery in Allenspark. While The Old Gallery became a nonprofit center for community, the arts and visitors in 2008, he’s been associated with The Old Gallery since 1988. “I was associated with it before it was The Old Gallery. It was once a mechanic’s shop and ATV Rental facility and a different art gallery,” Weldon said.

He got his first camera when he was in third grade. While he never studied formally, he read everything about photography that he could get his hands on.

“And I shot. A lot,” he said with a smile.

“I love to be outdoors in the presence of my wild brothers and sisters; mammals, birds, reptiles, insects … you name it.

My number one goal is to connect with my subject, and when that happens, miracles often occur.”

“His images of wildlife are break taking,” said Vicki Dyas, Artist Coordinator at The Old Gallery. “His commitment to wildlife brings a fresh perspective to his

photography.”

While Lee has traveled the globe to the world’s most exotic locations photographing wildlife, he calls Allenspark home. “I moved to Allenspark in 1990 and I used to live in a one room log school house built in the mid 1890s.

Henry David Thoreau’s writing has been a great influence on my lifestyle,” he said.

He has published four books: Watchable Birds of the Rocky Mountains, A Guide to Photographing Rocky Mountain Wildlife, Bears of North America and Rocky Mountain Wildlife. His images have appeared in Mature Outlook, National Wildlife, Backpacker, National Parks Magazine, Bird Watcher’s Digest, Outdoor Photographer and Petersen’s PHOTO graphic. The American Bald Eagle Foundation honored Weldon as the 2010 Photographer of the Year. You can learn more at www.weldonlee.com.

When asked what he likes about The Old Gallery in Allenspark, he said, “I’ve been here so long, it feels like home.”

The Old Gallery is located at 14863 Hwy. 7 in Allenspark. Visitors and area residents enjoy concerts, classes, lectures, yoga and more there.

For a complete list of artists and events at The Old Gallery visit www.theoldgallery.org.

OPEN HOUSE, SAT. 11–2PM New construction, 3+ bedrooms, 2.5 bath, 2 car attached garage. One level living, room for 4th bedroom or office. Great room with fireplace, hardwood flooring. Lower level family room, patio and deck. $679,000

Dollar Lake Highlands, 3 Building Lots to Choose From End of road location bordering Roosevelt National Forest, beautiful panoramic snow cap views of Rocky Mountain, remarkable privacy and seclusion. Well installed in two lots. 4 to 6+ acres $300,000- $350,000

2019 Collector Holiday Ornament Available For Purchase

The Other 9/11 The Quaker/ Unitarian group meets each Sunday morning at the US Bank meeting room (363 East Elkhorn Ave.).

Quaker silence is from 10-10:30. Social time is from 10:30-11. Presentation and discussion is from 11-noon.

September 11, 2001 is a date seared into our collective memory. But there was another 9/11 in 1851 that was very important in our nation’s history. This

week’s discussion led by Judy Brannon and Randy Maharry is entitled “The Slave Riot and Murder at Christiana.” It chronicles the events when abolitionists disobeyed the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.

All are welcome to attend and listen to this most interesting presentation. If questions; contact Randy Maharry at 515-229-8299.

Since 1986, the Town of Estes Park employees' Helping Hands Committee has created commemorative annual holiday ornaments for purchase by the public. The proceeds from ornament sales are used to provide high school senior scholarships and assistance to local families in need. The 2019 ornament features a photo of a black bear taken in Rocky Mountain National Park by Kris Hazelton.

Ornaments are available for $14 each at several Estes Park locations: Estes Park Town Hall at 170 MacGregor Avenue, the Estes Park Visitor Center at 500 Big Thompson Avenue, and Peaks Hallmark in Upper Stanley Village. A limited number of ornaments from previous years are also

available at Town Hall.

Ornaments may also be ordered by mailing your request and payment (no cash) to the Town of Estes Park Helping Hands Committee at P.O. Box 1200 in Estes Park, CO 80517.

Please calculate your order total to include shipping costs. Shipping for one ornament is $6.00, shipping for two ornaments is $6.50, shipping for three ornaments is $12.50, and shipping for four ornaments is $13. Payment with a card is an option; however, additional fees will apply.

For more information or to pay with a card, please contact Kim McEachern at kimmceachern@estes.org or by calling 970-577-3567.

Heartfelt Thank You to Ride-A-Kart!

Two Acclaimed Writers Are Coming To Town

Partners Mentoring Youth would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to RideA-Kart, Don and Gary Coleman, and their wonderful, hardworking staff, for hosting an organization-wide activity for our youth and volunteers on Sunday, September 8, 2019. They have been hosting us since at least 2007! Everyone enjoyed the Grand Prix Go-Karts, Bumper Boats, Krazy Bumper Cars, Casey's Silverstreak Miniature Railroad, Cascade Creek Mini-Golf (two 18-hole mini golf courses), and the Batting Cages. The Coleman's generosity allows for all attending through Partners Mentoring Youth to come to play for free and is always a fun time! Like many businesses

in town, they are very supportive and generous to many organizations.

Their website is: www.rideakart.com They are located at 2250 Big Thompson Ave Estes Park, CO 80517. Their phone number is 970-586-6495 or you can email them at eprak@beyondbb.com They are open seasonally May through September from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Check with them for their exact opening and closing dates.

Also special thanks to Big Horn Restaurant for their in kind donation allowing everyone to have extra tickets for the Grand Prix Go Carts on Sunday also!

September is a glorious time in Estes Park, with all the sunshine and the crisp hints of fall. And for a few days next week, our town will be the hub for writers of the American West.

We will all be beneficiaries of this gathering with an opportunity to spend two evenings meeting and hearing two very accomplished authors. We’d love to save you a seat for both.

It’s being made possible thanks to the Western Literature Association (WLA) Conference going on at the YMCA of the Rockies. The WLA has kindly invited the Estes Valley community to take part in their keynote events.

First up: on Wednesday, September 19 at 7 p.m. is Colorado-based author Laura Pritchett. Laura’s writings are rooted in the natural world and inspired by Western settings. Her collection of linked short stories, “Hell’s Bottom, Colorado,” won both the PEN USA Award for Fiction and the Milkweed National Fiction Prize.

That was followed by a succession of popular novels like “Sky Bridge” and “Stars Go Blue,” which garnered more literary accolades, including the High Plains Book Award. Laura is an engaging speaker, and if you’ve not yet read one of her books, come join us, and you’ll soon be inspired to delve into her writings.

The very next evening, on Thursday, September 20 at 7 p.m., we’ll enjoy a talk

by Kathleen Dean Moore, one of today’s most prominent writers. Kathleen blends environmental and philosophical themes, with numerous essay collections and one novel to her credit.

Her book “Wild Comfort: the Solace of

Nature” tells of her journey through a series of personal losses to find healing in the comfort of wild rivers, ancient forests, and windswept plains. The “Shambhala Sun” called it “nature writing at its most lyrical.”

Both free programs take place in the YMCA’s Assembly Hall building. Be sure to register now at estesvalleylibrary.org.

These authors write books that are worth talking about—and we’ll have two opportunities this month to do just that.

Join us at the Library for a discussion of “Wild Comfort” on Tuesday, September 24 at 6:30 p.m. That’s followed by a book discussion of one of Laura Pritchett’s nonfiction works, “Great Colorado Bear Stories” on Thursday, September 26 at 6:30 p.m.

Register for either or both discussions at estesvalleylibrary.org and we’ll have complimentary copies of the book(s), which you can begin reading right away.

Just having one of these authors come to town would be a big story. To have two in the same week is a bounty. You’ll find many of their books on the library’s shelves. Or think about getting yourself a personal copy you can have autographed that evening. Stop by Macdonald Book Shop to browse their great selection—and they’re happy to special-order any titles not in stock.

It’s always fulfilling when we as a community can come together to personally meet the writers who are shaping our literary landscape. Be part of these special events and join your friends and neighbors in the joy of books and dialogue.

Parkinson’s Support Group Meeting The next meeting of the Parkinson’s Disease Support Group will be held Tuesday, September 17 in the Wasson Room at the Estes Valley Library, take the elevator to the second floor. Monthly meetings are always held on the third Tuesday of the month from 2-3:30 p.m. All affected by this progressive neurological disease are welcome to attend to bring their own experiences, strength and hope and come together for the good of the group. Questions, comments? Call Linda Hanak at 970-443-8146.

World Class Music Comes To The Old Gallery In Allenspark

Estes Park, Colorado

COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING

Gathering

Why would one of the world’s premiere string quartets perform in a tiny mountain town? You’d have to ask Dave Pinkow, board member of The Old Gallery in Allenspark, a nonprofit center for community, the arts and visitors.

“For several decades, the Takács Quartet performed regularly at the Stanley Hotel and Hempel Hall, under the sponsorship of the Chamber Music Society of Estes Park. That tradition was ended by the epic flood of 2013.

“We’d always dreamed of getting them to play in Allenspark. We were thrilled when they agreed to perform at The Old Gallery,” Pinkow said. He is the Community Host for the event and a former CU music faculty member.

The famed quartet will be performing at The Old Gallery in Allenspark on Saturday, Sept. 14 at 4:30 p.m. This is their fourth appearance at The Old Gallery.

The quartet consists of Edward Dusinberre, violin; Harumi Rhodes, violin; Geraldine Walther, viola and András Fejér, cello. Members of the Takács Quartet are Faculty Fellows at the University of Colorado Boulder where they have helped develop a string program with a special emphasis on chamber music.

The quartet is known to play with a unique blend of drama, warmth and hu-

mor, that combines four distinct musical personalities and brings fresh insights to the string quartet repertoire.

The quartet has been the recipient of three Gramophone Awards, a Grammy Award, three Japanese Record Academy Awards, Disc of the Year at the inaugural BBC Music Magazine Awards and Ensemble Album of the Year at the Classical Brits.

The ensemble performs regularly in venues like the Aspen Music Festival, but they have grown to love performing for audiences along the Peak-to-Peak Highway.

Tickets are $50 in advance and are available at The Old Gallery and theoldgallery.org There are a limited number of tickets available for this event and it’s usually a sell-out. If tickets are available at the event, they are $60. The concert starts at 4:30 p.m., with wine and light snacks available as well.

The Old Gallery is located at 14863 Colorado Highway 7, next to the Allenspark Fire Station. Carpooling to the event is encouraged as parking is limited at The Old Gallery. Fortunately, overflow parking is available east of the Gallery on the Highway 7 right of way and in the parking lot just on the other side of the Fire Station.

Bob Brunson An open house to celebrate Bob Brunson’s life will be held at the American Legion Post 119 in Estes Park on Saturday October 5, 2019 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Memorial contributions may be made to Rocky Mountain Conservancy in care of Allnutt Funeral Service 1302 Graves Avenue Estes Park, CO 80517.
