It's my honor and privilege to be writing this article as your new Town Administrator. I have lived in the Estes Valley since moving here with my wife, Ashley, in 2015. We love the small-town feel, the unparalleled access to worldclass outdoor opportunities, and the joy we get from showing off the community to our friends and family. Long story short, there is nowhere we would rather be.

Over the course of my career in local government management, I have settled on a simple guiding philosophy: Local governments have a moral obligation to be excellent. I believe this is true for three reasons. . .

Residents and businesses don't choose to do business with the Town. Indeed, they are often compelled to engage with us, as is the case with building safety regulations, land use regulation, and water and power service.

Unlike most organizations, local governments do not fold or disappear if we perform poorly or provide sub-standard products or services.

We have significant impacts on the everyday lives of our residents.

After serving four years as your Assistant Town Administrator, I recognize I am entering this role at a critical juncture in Estes Park. While we are starting from a position of strength, we also face significant challenges in the form of dramatically increased visitation, continuously increasing costs of living, and deep-seated concerns about the future of our community. Addressing these complex and interlaced challenges must take priority. Everyone in our community -- with all of the values and

philosophies they represent -- must work together on pragmatic solutions.

Many of these challenges have a strong nexus with ongoing conversations about land use planning and regulation in the Estes Valley. I encourage everyone to engage both the Town and the County in conversations about the future of land use planning for our community.

Next will be a Comprehensive Planning process. This is a cornerstone document for the future of our community. It touches everything from balancing development with quality of life, to how we balance the benefits and impacts of heavy visitation to our Town.

I would like to close with a few comments on the Town organization itself. I am pleased to report that the Town’s financial status is strong. Underlying economic activity continues to grow, with a corresponding increase in sales tax revenues that can be used to provide key services to residents.

Progress is steady on the rollout of a broadband utility, and we actively pursue large grants to enable key stormwater and transportation infrastructure improvements. While these new services and projects are exciting, the maintenance of our existing infrastructure and services is of equal importance. I am confident in the ability of our talented and dedicated staff members to continue to provide excellent municipal services.

As your Town Administrator, I am always available to discuss how you think the Town government can be excellent.

Keep Safety In Mind When Watching Elk This Fall Each September and October, thousands of visitors are drawn to Estes Park to watch herds of elk gather in the valley for their mating season or “rut.”

With this popular activity comes the responsibility for everyone to be safe and respect these majestic animals.

During the rut, the male “bull” elk are irritable, aggressive and extremely dangerous to onlookers who get too close. Estes Park Police Chief Wes Kufeld commented, “It's time to ensure you are being safe around wildlife, especially those that can hurt you, like elk. Watch from a safe distance, respect their space, give them plenty of room to move and don't block their paths. As individuals, we each have a responsibility to ensure our own safety.”

Chief Kufeld explained that the Estes Park Emergency Communications Center receives numerous calls about elk issues daily. The most common reports are people getting too close to the elk and “elk jams,” caused when drivers park their vehicles in the way of traffic in order to watch the elk. Do not block traffic when viewing elk from your vehicle – park completely off the roadway.

The Police Department provides the following reminders for safe elk viewing: • Elk are wild animals and can cause serious injuries or death.

• Keep a safe distance. If you cause the animal to move, you are too close. This is important to consider even in vehicles, as bull elk will charge a car during the rut.

• Keep pets secure. Estes Park municipal code requires pets to be on a leash at all times.

• Elk know no boundaries. Respect private property when viewing.

• Keep these tips in mind every spring during elk calving season, when female “cows” become protective and

can be extremely aggressive.

The Estes Park Police Department and the Police Auxiliary periodically assist with wildlife education and may provide “safe viewing” tip cards when they are on the scene of a wildlife viewing opportunity. The Police Department enforces wildlife laws including laws against feeding or harassing wildlife, or allowing one’s pet to harass wildlife.

The Blue Door Inn was purchased by Peck in 2017. Following the purchase, he completed a full remodel of all interior rooms, switched all lights to LED to save energy, installed new irrigation that runs off of a well, and installed all new landscaping including trees, shrubs, and flower pots. The property offers many

amenities to guests, including a variety of games, evening cookies and s’mores by a campfire, and live music on the weekends. To learn more about the Blue Door Inn, visit www.bluedoorinnestes.com.

The designation of an “Estes Bright Spot” recognizes a business, organization or private residence that places emphasis on beautifully maintained landscapes, floral displays, environmental efforts, heritage preservation, and arts and culture.

This Week In Mrs. Walsh's Garden Three-leaf sumac, Rhus trilobata, is a tough, drought tolerant, 5' to 6' tall, native shrub with small, chartreuse spring flowers that appear before the foliage, and red summer ripening fruit that is a source of food for birds. The "trifoliate" leaves turn shades of orange, yellow and red in the fall. The leaves have a very strong scent when crushed. The aroma is medicinal or bitter, disagreeable enough to some to have gained the plant the

common name skunkbush. The flexible young stems have been used in basketry

by Native Americans, accounting for one of the plant's lesser-known common names: basketbush. It is drought resistant and will grow in a wide range of soil types. Mrs. Walsh's Garden is located on West Elkhorn Avenue, across the street from Performance Park. Admission is free and it is open from dawn to dusk.

Celebrate Pinktober: Honor A Cancer Warrior At Estes Park Health According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, breast cancer is the second most common form of cancer found in women, and about one in eight women in the United States today will have breast cancer at some point in their lives. If discovered early, women have up to a 90% chance of survival, whereas survival drops to about 15-20% if found in later stages. In order to increase rates of early detection, Estes Park Health Foundation is raising $355,000 to bring 3D mammography capabilities to Estes Park Health in 2020.

October, or Pinktober as many now call it, is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

During this time, Estes Park Health is raising awareness of early detection in a few ways. One is to create a tribute wall in the lobby of Estes Park Health where people can donate $20 to have a pink ribbon inscribed in honor of a cancer warrior. Pink Ribbon Tributes will be displayed in the hospital lobby for the month of October, and 100% of funds donated will go toward the purchase of 3D mammography equipment for Estes Park Health’s Diagnostic Imaging Department. Visit GivetoEPH.org/pinktober to make your tribute today.

Next Mayor's Chat Is Thursday, Oct. 3 Estes Park Mayor Todd Jirsa invites community members to join him for a Mayor's Chat Thursday, Oct. 3 at 4 p.m. at Ten Letters, 240 Moraine Ave. Mayor Jirsa holds regular Mayor's Chats, generally during the first week of each month, with varied dates, times and locations throughout Estes Park.

Estes Park Health is also sponsoring a provider talk at the Estes Valley Community Center on Wed., Oct. 16th from 1-2 p.m. Presenters will discuss the importance of regular mammograms and breast exams as well as field questions focused on breast cancer awareness and education. The talk is free and everyone is welcome. Contact Lisa Taylor at ltaylor@eph.org to reserve your spot.

Did you know that most insurers fully cover mammograms every one-two years for women aged 40 and over? If you’re not insured, Patient Financial Services at Estes Park Health is happy to meet with you and discuss your options.

Give them a call at 970-577-4530, and Estes Park Health’s Diagnostic Imaging Department will have educational takeaways and a lot of pink around their clinic during the month of October. Call 970-586-2317 to schedule your mammogram.

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 Pet Association

Estes Park Health To Partner With B. E. Smith On CEO Search The Estes Park Health Board of Directors has selected the healthcare executive search firm B. E. Smith as their partner to identify the next Estes Park Health Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

B. E. Smith was recently named Modern Healthcare’s top healthcare executive search firm for 2019 based on the total number of candidate placements. This was the fourth year in a row and eighth time in 11 years that they were at the top of Modern Healthcare’s rankings.

BE Smith is part of AMN Healthcare, which successfully placed 983 Senior Healthcare Executives across 47 states in 2018. As a measure of their confidence in their ability to successfully match candidates with organizations, they provide a three-year guarantee on their CEO placements, and more than 90%+ of their placements have remained in their position beyond the guarantee period.

Mick Ruel, Vice President of Executive Search, will be leading the B. E. Smith team effort. He is the practice leader in rural and Critical Access Hospital executive search efforts within the firm.

B. E. Smith was selected after a search that started with a list of 38 national healthcare executive search firms. This list was reduced to 11 firms based on recommendations from multiple sources

and reviews of their on-line information. Of the eleven, seven were asked to submit proposals for the CEO search, and reviews of the proposals resulted in three finalist firms. The finalists were asked to respond to 23 questions and were interviewed. Based on this competitive process, B. E. Smith was selected as the best firm to work with Estes Park Health on the search for their next CEO. The next step will be an onsite visit by the B. E. Smith team to understand current Estes Park Health culture and the needed CEO attributes. They will meet with the search committee, physicians, the Board, Estes Park Health management groups, key stakeholders in the community, and have an open forum with all staff for their input on what is needed. The result will be an Executive Position Overview describing the Estes Park community, Estes Park Health, and the CEO position.

All candidates for the CEO position, whether from inside Estes Park Health or the result of the nationwide search, will go through B. E. Smith and experience the same evaluation process.

Please send any questions about the CEO search to info@eph.org.

The next Monitored Weed Drop-off will be held this 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.

This past week marked the official beginning of autumn. Is anyone ever ready for the arrival of this most golden of seasons? I don’t speak for everyone, but for me and a lot of summer dawdlers, it’s way too early and we’re not mentally prepared. Brisk mornings, warm afternoons and cool evenings that draw down the dark of night.

They’re here and there’s nothing we can do about it. (Oh, that darkness! Each day the sun takes a little longer to rise and shine and next thing we know, we’re turning on the lights to make coffee in the morning.

And then the twilight doesn’t slowly descend upon us as we settle in for the night, it races to cast a gloomy dusk over our evening dinner hour. Bah!) All summer we enjoy week after week of sunny warmth and then one day something changes. It’s a feeling in the air. A nip, some say. Is it a smell? Does the breeze shift directions? Is it the temperature? The angle of the shadows? We can’t say exactly but whatever it is, it has come and now the color of the sky at sunrise matches the golds and rusts of the leaves starting to turn. We will still have bright, toasty afternoons but they aren’t the same. They’ve picked up speed. These fall days are horses headed to the barn.

It is fall and there’s no going back.

With an “if-you-can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” attitude, I decided to see what late season fare I could buy at the farmers market, thinking that might help me feel a bit friendlier toward the uninvited season. I found just the thing: butternut squash.

Even the sound of it says “autumn. ” So I bought the biggest one I could find.

I was feeling happy about my heavy, bellshaped, tawny squash until I got the thing home and set it on the counter. What was I supposed to do with it? Historically I’ve not been a big squash fan. My limited experience involves Butternut’s cousin, Pumpkin. I’ve carved pumpkins and made pumpkin pie with puree from a can. That’s it. So what was a beginner squash chef to do with this rather hefty handful of fruit?

I did what I usually do when I have food I don’t know what to do with. (Is there one iota of proper grammar in that sentence?) I made soup.

Squash soup. (Did you know there is a British cordial called squash? It is a non-alcoholic fruit-flavored syrup, sometimes with elderflower and ginger added in. It is mixed with bubble water or with alcohol to make a cocktail. This is not the squash I used to make soup, although it does sound interesting.)

(There is also a World Squash Federation but it has nothing to do with this mis-

shapen-football thing I was about to chop up and toss into the blender. The WSF is all about the racquet sport called squash.

Completely different.)

Squash soup recipes are endless. Some call for leeks, others call for onions. Some go the garlic route, others—ginger, and others beg for thyme. Some opt for sour cream and others call for chicken broth.

You can find carrots, celery, apples or apple cider, all in squash soup. As with most soups, if it’s in your fridge, it can go into your pot.

There’s another recipe that suggests adding Parmesan and sage to whipped cream and dropping a dollop of that in the center of the soup. I like that idea. But the best recipe, in my opinion, is the one that calls for sweetened whipped cream on top with a dash of nutmeg. That sounds reminiscent of the pumpkin soup we’ve had at the Baldpate in the past. I haven’t seen it in some time so I don’t know if it’s still offered, but it was a special treat if we happened to be there the night it was being served. Like the whole wheat bread. I would pay full price just to eat a slab of that, smothered in butter. But it hasn’t been on the buffet line the last three times I’ve been there. Good thing their homemade bleu cheese dressing is always available. It’s delish!

At the farmers market, in addition to the squash, I bought a garden mix of lettuce, several tomatoes (the best sandwich ever is a bacon/lettuce/tomato—if and only if— the tomatoes are truly homegrown. Ideally they’re grown in the intense heat of the Midwest but those tomatoes aren’t available everywhere), and corn on the cob. (I should have known better. It was too late in the season for corn on the cob. But it sounded like a nice side with soup and salad.)

The only appropriate dessert to round out this meal are some sliced Palisade peaches straight up. They need nothing added to them. No sugar nor any superlative can enhance what they are. Palisade peaches are perfection.

It doesn’t sound like it but I do like autumn. It’s my favorite season. I just don’t like what follows too closely on its heels. In the words of a one-line poem I wrote and repeat every fall: I hate to see my favorite season come.

I have finally been able to come home from Houston. I was supposed to fly back last Thursday but Houston was flooded from Imelda (storm). One could not get to the airport and many flights were cancelled. Even the Uber drivers were not working. But it just gave me a little more time with my daughter, granddaughters and Benjamin, my twoyear old great-grandson. I had a grand time.

When I went to pick up Sunshine from Marie’s hospital and boarding facilities, she almost knocked me down. She has not left my side all day. She does not want to go for a ride, which she usually loves to do, afraid I may leave her again.

epnews.com

I know for a fact she is loved and well treated at Marie’s; she even spends most days in Marie’s office.

She is just so much my buddy and companion.

Of course, coming home late last night there was nothing to eat in the house.

Dick Life, Quentin Wedan, Loren Shriver, Richard Erbe and Wes Te Winkle. Quentin Wedan, owner of the Lazy B presents Post 119 Commander Loren Shriver with a check for $4,100.

Lazy B Community Fundraiser Gives Donation To American Legion, Post 119 On September 12th the Lazy B Chuckwagon and Show held their 2nd annual community fundraiser event. The theme this year was a "Salute to Veterans," with profits from the evening supper and western show going to the local American Legion, Post 119. Great community support, including attendance by the Estes Park Car Club, resulted in a near sold out show. With staff members and the Wrangler band volunteering their time and donating all tips, the event raised $4,100. The money will go directly toward the "2nd Century Campaign" which is intended to raise funds for much needed repairs at the local venue in Estes Park. The American Le-

gion exists to serve the community atlarge as well as the veterans and their families in the community, and a critical part of this ongoing service is having a facility that can continue to be used for a wide range of social events and gatherings. The Estes Park community has a great track record for coming together to support local organizations and community efforts such as this. The entire team at the Lazy B is proud to be part of the effort to support the American Legion and their ongoing commitment to serve our community.

Museum Program This Saturday: Estes Speaks This Saturday, September 28, at 2:00 p.m. learn from the locals at the Estes Park Museum during the fall series, Estes Speaks.

For the first of four oral histories, staff will be sharing the 1984 interview with Ron Brodie (1908-1987). The audio from the interview will be presented with accompanying images from the collection to visually represent the context of the Ron Brodie recording. Interviewed

by Mel Busch, Sam Gates, and Betty Hedlund, Ron Brodie reflects on his time in Estes Park primarily describing the people and times of Estes Park in the 1940s and 1950s. Transcripts of the interviews will be provided. Program attendees will be invited to share stories related to oral history interviews after each program which will be moderated

by Museum staff.

Coming to Estes Park in 1931, Ron Brodie was only 18 years old when he was asked to run the Honor Brite grocery store on Elkhorn Avenue. He opened Brodie's Supermarket five years later and became ingrained in the Town.

Mr. Brodie served the Estes Park com-

munity as a Town Trustee, Mayor, the Estes Park Volunteer Fire Department, the Light and Power Committee, and the Estes Park Sanitation Board. Through all his civil service, residents remember his kindness and generosity overseeing his supermarket most fondly.

Starting in the late 1970s, Museum and Library staff began gathering interviews from local individuals. Interviewing has continued up through the 2013 flood and a series in 2014 with prominent local climbers/mountaineers. With a variety of topics and eras spanning across more than 150 interviews, the Museum has taken the platform to let those who experienced history tell it themselves.

Please join us as we explore the collection.

The mission of the Estes Park Museum is to conduct activities that preserve, share and respect the unique history of Estes Park. For more information, call the Estes Park Museum at 970-586-6256 or visit the Museum's website at www.estes.org/museum.

Restorative Justice Wins Library Community Partnership Award

On Sept. 20, the Colorado Association of Libraries awarded the Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership (EVRJP) for its partnership with the Estes Valley Library beginning with the October, 2018 Conflict Resolution Month. Accepting the award on behalf of the Estes Park Police Department and EVRJP was EVRJP Manager and Executive Director, Denise Lord. She was accompanied at the recognition by Library Director Claudine Perrault.

In accepting the award, Lord explained the original goals of the partnership, as both organizations asked: "Is it possible to find common ground? And if so, how?" Lord went on to explain, "That's what our organization and the Estes Valley Library set out to do. And in October of 2018, Conflict Resolution Month provided a platform for this effort."

As noted in the award nomination, each organization drew upon its strengths. The Library offered its politically-neutral setting and its focus on literacy. EVRJP drew upon its expertise in professional facilitation and mediation, and its 16-year track record of problemsolving through collaboration.

Out of this partnership came a variety of community programs with regional experts in the topic of healthy community dialogue. Hundreds of people shared in reading and discussing a featured book with conflict-resolution themes. As the nomination noted, "During the capstone program of the series, Senator Linda Newell said that of all the Conflict Resolution Month activities across Colorado, the Estes Park model set the standard for the most engaging project of 2018."

Lord elaborated, "Our partnership helped enhance cooperation, encourage understanding and strengthen relationships in our community -- opening up the door for all to consider a more humanistic approach to engagement. And we are grateful for the Estes Valley Library, as it has truly helped us to build and restore our community one relationship at a time."

This partnership will continue in 2019, as Mayor Todd Jirsa has proclaimed October 2019 "Conflict Resolution Month."

Coming soon are announcements from EVRJP and the Library on Conflict Resolution programs throughout the month of October.

He is a lab/shar-pei mix and good on a leash. All the volunteers love spending time with sweet Freddy!

We also participate in town events, including the Estes Park Rotary Duck Race Festival, the EVICS Be Ready Fair and the Town of Estes Park Safety Fair, to raise awareness of the Salud Family Health Center and to foster good health for all.

Back in 1999 a professional golfer named Payne Stewart, along with five companions boarded a twin-engine, $2.4 million Learjet which left the runway at 9:19 A.M. There were two pilots, and all seemed fine when they checked in with the air traffic controllers a few minutes later. But for unknown reasons, the pilots apparently lost consciousness shortly before they were to turn west toward Dallas, and when they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be raised by air traffic controllers, two Air Force jets went to investigate.

No one was at the controls. There was no movement in the cockpit, and the windows were fogged, suggesting depressurization of the cabin, having become chilled by stratospheric air some 45,000 feet above the earth. One of the Air Force pilots commented: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very helpless feeling to pull alongside another aircraft and realize that the people inside that aircraft are obviously unconscious or in some other way incapacitated and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing I can do to help from my position, even though I am only about one hundred feet away.â&#x20AC;? Eventually, when one of its two engines finally ran out of fuel, the plane roller-coastered through the clouds, heading for its inevitable, final destruction.

One air safety investigator said that airplane depressurization can be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;very insidiousâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. He explained that it can deprive the crew of its ability to know what is happening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could be one of those things where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling good, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling happy, and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a clue whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on.â&#x20AC;?

Picture humanity on a runaway airplane, on a collision course, with only limited time remaining. Picture people so caught up in their pleasures and pressures and pursuits that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize the urgency of their plight.

We hear a lot about Climate Change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No problem!â&#x20AC;?, say some, and then notice the decline of glaciers and the other indications from our natural environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No problem!â&#x20AC;?, we hear some say, when talking about the economy and then look at the increasing natural debt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Problem!â&#x20AC;?, society says, when they talk about the moral values of our nation and then decry the increasing crime rate, high and climbing addiction rates, the many incidents of manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inhumanity to man, and the list goes on as our society â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;roller-coasters to its inevitable, final destruction.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We see it often in the lives of our young peopleâ&#x20AC;Śusually after-the-fact.

Perhaps you watched the documentary recently about Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber that took well over a hundred adult and children lives when he parked his fertilizer truck in front of the office building in downtown Oklahoma City. The documentary showed how totally oblivious most everyone was of his plans and preparationsâ&#x20AC;Śuntil the explosion occurred. Think back further to the attack on Pearl Harbor. I heard a Honolulu tour guide point out where the attack came from and the reason why our military were not alarmed and fortifications ready to defend our base and people when the attack came. Remember the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;asleep at the wheelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attitude our nation seemed to have the day the planes hit the Twin Towers on 9/11. The reminders go on.

Our message to each of us is to be alert to our own lives, to those of the young people who grow up in our homes and the society they are growing up in.

Jesus had some good advice for us: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.â&#x20AC;? Good advice for a nation, for a family, for an individual. May God help us to do so.

It is a long journey from Cornwall, England to Estes Park but the pasties (pass-tees) are here! A pastie is a round piece of dough filled with savory meat and vegetables. It is folded in half to make a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dâ&#x20AC;? shape with a crimped edge.

Traditionally eaten by tin-miners in Cornwall, it is an easy hand-held sandwich. The women at St. Bartholomewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Episcopal Church are currently busy in the kitchen making pasties that are so delicious that you will want to savor every morsel.

Order your pasties by calling the church office at 970-586-4504. Regular pasties and gluten-free pasties are now available and can be picked up at St.

Bartholomewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (880 MacGregor Avenue) on Wednesdays from 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.

Pasties are sold in a package of six for $20.00 or six gluten-free for $22.00.

Please pay by cash or check. If you pay by check, please write your check out to St. Bartholomewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Episcopal Church and write Pasties in the memo.

Please Help Keep Our Bears Wild & Alive!

Welcome to Estes Park! While here, please keep in mind that you’re vacationing in black bear country and that brings with it some responsibilities.

Rule one is simple: keep your food, your pet’s food and everyone’s garbage out of bears’ paws. Do not feed bears, accidentally or intentionally.

Rule two is just as simple: there is no excuse for breaking rule one. It is illegal and it will make trouble for not only you, but for bears who will pay the price for your irresponsibility, sometimes with their lives.

Problems can be completely avoided if you imagine that every moment you are in Estes, there is a bear hiding behind a tree somewhere. You can’t see him, but he can see you. And he's waiting for you to do something for him to score a meal.

Bears have great noses for sniffing out food and trash. Don't leave food outside.

That includes picnics, barbecue grills, pet food bowls or even dirty dishes.

Don't leave food in a car or even a house if a bear can smell it and find a way in.

Garbage belongs in bear-proof trash bins. Never leave it out overnight in regular trash cans or lying around outside to be cleaned up tomorrow. If a bear proof trash bin is full, find another, don't leave anything outside of the bin.

Like the famous Yogi bear, Estes Parks bruins also are "smarter than the av-erage bear" To get a picnic basket or any other smelly, tasty treat, however small, they will climb through windows and break into homes. They will break into cars. They can make a big mess doing it.

Bears can not only smell where food is, they have strength and perseverance to remove barriers between them and food.

EP News Kris Hazelton

People need to be very vigilant. Always close and lock the windows and doors in your cars and home!

If a bear gets labeled "a problem bear," it will be trapped and killed by wildlife officials.

We humans cause this and then bears pay the price. If everyone coming in to Estes Park realized all the problems and drama we've gone through trying to keep our bears wild, we are sure they'd want to do the same and keep our bears safe!

Do the right thing, please help keep our bears wild and alive! We thank you and the bears thank you too!

But, we did it! It’s really a blessing. We will be dedicating this game in Dave's memory/honor and we’d love for the community to come out and show their support for David Hocker and our team!

Please come cheer us on!”

Rocky Mountain Conservancy Celebrates 2019 Conservation Corps Season In 2019, the Rocky Mountain Conservancy – Conservation Corps joined in celebrating 25 Years of National Service alongside other AmeriCorps programs nationwide. Twenty-five years ago, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) was formed to administer AmeriCorps and other service programs across the country. The Conservation Corps is an AmeriCorps program providing members with job training and educational services, while supporting environmental stewardship outcomes through on-the-ground conservation work with the National Park Service and U.S. Forest Service.

Throughout the 2019 season, the Rocky Mountain Conservancy-Conservation Corps crews exemplified the AmeriCorps mantra to “Get Things Done” through their conservation service work in public lands. The Conservation Corps supported five crews hosting a total of 34 AmeriCorps members. Each crew ranged from six to ten AmeriCorps members with one-two members serving as a crew leader.

These crews served in Rocky Mountain National Park and the surrounding Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forests. Crews completed trail maintenance and restoration, vegetation management, campground improvements, and historic preservation. Within Rocky Mountain National Park, crews maintained more

than 50 miles of trail, helped construct a bog bridge through a marshy area above Jewel Lake, managed 39 acres for invasive species, fortified five campsites to prevent erosion, restored facilities at Moraine Park Campground, and helped preserve several historic structures.

Beyond Rocky Mountain National Park’s boundaries, three crews helped to maintain 80 miles of trail, rebuild the Young Gulch Trail, construct a wilderness bridge along the Cascade Creek

Trail, build check steps below Isabelle Glacier, and much more! All of this work helps to improve trail corridors, stabilize trail surfaces, protect surrounding ecosystems, and ensure a safe and enjoyable visitor experience!

Throughout their on-the-ground service, AmeriCorps members received onthe-ground job training from conservation professionals, developed leadership skills through mentorship opportunities,

gained an understanding of public land management by attending field classes, and improved their resumes through workshop sessions. Additionally, members received the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award upon successful completion of their service term to support future educational expenses.

Suicide Prevention Training October 16 Please join Communities That Care as we host the Alliance for Suicide Prevention with a Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) Training on Wednesday, October 16th from 2:00-3:30 p.m. at the Estes Valley Library. The QPR mission is to reduce suicidal behaviors and save lives by providing innovative, practical, and proven suicide prevention training.

Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying "Yes" to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor. For more information, please visit the QPR Institute Website. Please RSVP at http://bit.ly/estesqpr. We are using these RSVPs to anticipate room set up and the amount of food we need to order. A pizza lunch from Poppy's with vegetarian options will be provided. If you have additional dietary needs please feel free to bring a brown bag lunch.

Communities That Care (CTC) is a

community process for preventing health and behavior problems among youth, including the use of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. CTC works to identify the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risks in order to effectively prevent problems before they occur, and build upon our local strengths that support youth engagement, community bonding, and positive health outcomes. Committed community partners are working on three main goals: Ensuring Estes Valley community members are knowledgeable about risks for substance use and promote healthy choices and resiliency among youth.

Creating and ensuring opportunities are available and accessible for families in Estes Valley to achieve sustainable economic success.

Partnering with community organizations to host widespread education and disseminate information regarding risks of substance use with the goal of community-enforced policies to protect youth and decrease access to substances.

Edward Jones Investments And Friends Clean Up Lake Estes Shoreline

Recently the Edward Jones Investments office of Derek Vinge, sponsored a clean-up day in town. The group (along with a couple of furry friends) gathered at Stanley Park to clean up the Lake Estes shoreline. Special thanks to Nolan Oberg of the Rec. District for arranging for gloves &

trash bags for the group; as well as the Rec district team coming and picking up the bags that same afternoon.

The group effort did yield plenty of garbage as seen in the photo; however the overall sentiment from everyone was that they were pleased with how little there was overall.

Leaving Your Job? What Happens To Your 401(k)?

If you’re in the early stages of your working life – or even in the not-so-early ones – the chances are pretty good that you will change jobs at some point.

When that happens, you’ll probably leave a few things behind – but will one of them be your 401(k)?

Of course, you wouldn’t really forget about your 401(k). (It does happen, however – over the period from 2004 through 2013, more than 25 million people left at least one 401(k) or similar plan behind when they left their job, according to the U. S. Government Accountability Office.) But you will have to do something with your account.

Essentially, you have four choices: • You can cash out your 401(k). It’s your money, but if you take it out before you reach 59 ½, you will owe federal income taxes, plus any applicable state and local taxes.

Also, you will likely be charged a 10% penalty for early withdrawal. Perhaps even more important, if you liquidate your 401(k) when you change jobs, you’ll be reducing the amount you’ll have left for retirement.

• You can leave your 401(k) with your old employer. If your former employer permits it, you can leave your 401(k) intact, even after you move to a different job. This might be appealing to you if you like the investment choices in your account, but you won’t be able to make any new contributions. Plus, you won’t face any immediate tax consequences.

• You can move the money to your new employer’s 401(k). You can consolidate your old 401(k) with one offered by your new employer, if allowed. You won’t take a tax hit, and you might like your new

plan’s investment options. And you may find it easier to manage your funds if they’re all held in one place.

• You can roll your 401(k) into an IRA. You don’t need the permission from any employer – old or new – to move your old 401(k) to an IRA. Your money will continue to grow on a tax-deferred basis, and an IRA offers you a virtually unlimited array of investment options – stocks, bonds, mutual funds and so on.

You can make either a direct or indirect rollover. With a direct rollover, the administrator of your old 401(k) sends your money directly to the financial provider that holds your rollover IRA. No tax is withheld because you never actually take possession of the money.

With an indirect rollover, you’re technically withdrawing the money and moving it to the IRA provider yourself.

(You’ve got 60 days to make this transfer.) You will face a withholding of 20% of your account’s assets, but you may be able to recover most of this amount when you file your tax return. Still, for the sake of ease of movement and avoidance of all tax issues, a direct rollover may be more advantageous.

Which of these options is right for you? There’s no one “right” answer for everyone. You’ll have to consider several factors, and you’ll certainly want to consult your tax professional before making any decision. But in any case, do whatever you can to preserve – and hopefully grow – your 401(k) assets. You’ll need these resources to help fund the retirement lifestyle you want and deserve.

This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

Estes Valley Model Railroaders Meeting

The next Estes Valley Model Railroaders monthly meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 2 at 6:30 p.m. in the Hondius Room at the Estes Valley Library. Anyone interested in model trains, the history of trains, riding trains, etc. is always welcome to attend.

This month’s program, by Chris Gabel, noted military and railroad historian, is

entitled “The Great Railroad War.” Chris will analyze the role that railroads played in the American war effort for World War I. The presentation will address domestic railroads, including the role of the United States Railroad Administration, as well as the military railroads in France. Special emphasis is given to the locomotives and rolling stock that moved the civilian and military wartime traffic.

The October gathering will include a brief business meeting and then our presentation. If you are only interested in the program, please feel free to come at 7:30 after our club meeting and just in time for refreshments and socializing before the program.

There's a young man who comes to Community Corner Cafe most Friday nights during the season. He has a steady job and a place to live. He says he looks forward to these evenings because the food is better than he can cook at home and he can sit and visit with others from our community he wouldn't otherwise come in contact with.

The reason a middle-aged woman comes to Community Corner Cafe isn't because she can't afford a hot meal. She could probably pay for all the food they serve for a whole year. As a widow, she comes for the camaraderie, fellowship and feeling of community. The good food is just a bonus.

An older gentleman is in failing health and has started getting Meals on Wheels.

He enjoys visiting with the drivers who bring his meals during the week but, when he's feeling up to it, he likes to venture out to the Community Corner Cafe to be seated at a table with others, be served a hot, delicious meal and maybe take home his left-overs to eat during the weekend.

There are even young families who come for a chance to eat out without having to spend a fortune. Many of the older adults (grandparent types) love interacting with the children because, too often, their own grandchildren live far away.

Community Corner Cafe is set to begin their 10th season at Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran Church at 2000 Ptarmigan Trail, just north of the Salud Clinic.

Meal service begins on Friday, October 4 and runs through the month of April with hours from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The menu, which is posted during the season in the newspaper, usually consists of a single main entree, side salad, dessert and beverages.

All of this is not served cafeteria style but delivered to your table by enthusiastic volunteers. Everything is free. No donations or offerings are solicited.

The purpose of the Community Corner Cafe is to bring people together to share a meal, perhaps meet someone new and experience the wonderful, caring community that is Estes Park. We'd love to have you join us. Everyone is welcome!

Van Der Kamp is an accomplished artist, working in fused and stained glass for more than 40 years. “It started as a hobby and for the past 15 years I have been able to devote more time to it,” she said. She even added a kiln to her workshop so she can produce fused glass embellishments for her original stained glass designs. She creates wall art, original décor for the home and jewelry.

Van Der Kamp is one of 19 artists that call The Old Gallery in Allenspark “home.” Her work has been featured there since 2015. “We bought our own cabin in Allenspark in 2011 and consider ourselves ‘half-timers,’ as we spend a few weeks here every month year round.

Our cabin became more of a home when we became involved in the community through volunteering at the Community Cupboard Food Bank at The Old Gallery,” she said. “There, we could express our desire to help the residents in need and we have made lasting friendships with the other volunteers.”

Van Der Kamp has a Bachelor of Arts degree in applied art and graphic design.

To improve her understanding and explore the possibilities of fused glass and

uniqueness by using pieces and parts of the glass that express scenes and colors from nature and patterns of weather.

Nature, mostly the Rocky Mountains, is my inspiration.”

She added, “My nature-inspired art is showcased beautifully in the warm environment of The Old Gallery.” Her work has also been featured at the Lonetree Art Expo and The Depot Art Gallery in Littleton.

She will be at The Old Gallery on Sunday, Sept. 29 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

“I love to volunteer there and talk to visitors about the area and my art.”

The Old Gallery is a nonprofit center for community, the arts and visitors. It’s housed in a 1940s log structure that received a $1.2 million renovation in 2015.

The Old Gallery is located at 14863 Hwy. 7 in Allenspark, just 20 minutes from Estes Park. Visitors and area residents enjoy concerts, classes, lectures, yoga and more there.

Library Friends & Foundation Program Recounts Air Crash Survival Story The Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation will honor donors and supporters at its Annual Membership Meeting and Reception on Friday, October 4 from 6 to 8 p.m.

Library Friends & Foundation members provide a margin of excellence that enables the library to be a community-builder, literacy center, and champion of hometown youth.

The after-hours gathering will begin with a wineand-cheese reception to thank supporters. Attendees will then gather for a brief business and nominating meeting. Special guest Gary Coleman will lead the featured program, recounting his firsthand experiences as one of the survivors of an air crash incident. Coleman’s story is told in the book, “Miracle on Buffalo Pass: Rocky Mountain Airways Flight 217” by Harrison Jones.

Coleman is a longtime Estes Park resident and owner of Estes Park Ride-AKart. He was first officer on Flight 217 when it crashed on December 4, 1978.

He narrowly survived the accident. The idea to revisit this story came a few years ago from Coleman’s daughter, Kelly.

“When Kelly contacted me and began telling the story,” says author Harrison

Jones, “I was intrigued and knew there were many questions that needed to be answered. Kelly introduced me to her father, and Gary and I connected on so many levels right away.” They all visited the crash site near Steamboat Springs in October of 2016, leading to many more months of collaboration for the book’s completion.

The author interviewed many passengers, medical personnel, Rocky Mountain Airways employees and others who had insights into the crash. “I have interviewed more than thirty individuals who have graciously told their story for publication,” says Jones.

The October 4 event is a special reception open to the membership of the Library Friends & Foundation, and advance RSVP is required. Anyone who is a currently a member may RSVP to Sarah Walsh at swalsh@estesvalleylibrary.org.

Anyone who is not currently a member is invited to join by clicking the “Give” link at estesvalleylibrary.org, or by purchasing a membership at Cliffhanger Used Books, located next to the post office. New members should then RSVP to Sarah at the above email address.

2019 Collector Holiday Ornament Available For Purchase 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.

Celebrating Our Community; Celebrating Library Love By: Diane Shriver, President, Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation

It’s time to say “thank you” to all who keep our great local library going strong throughout the year. Your membership in the Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation elevates our quality of life by elevating our library from good to great.

We’re celebrating library lovers with a wine-and-cheese reception at the annual Membership Meeting on Friday, October 4 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the library.

You’ll meet the Friends & Foundation board members in a festive setting—and we’ll share results from the membership questionnaire.

Our guest speaker is Gary Coleman, a longtime local resident with an amazing firsthand story of survival, recounted in the book “Miracle on Buffalo Pass: Rocky Mountain Airways Flight 217.”

To attend, current Friends & Foundation members must RSVP in advance.

New members are very welcome too— and must purchase their memberships before October 4 and RSVP to swalsh@estesvalleylibrary.org.

Have you visited our nonprofit store lately? Cliffhanger Used Books, located next to the Post Office, is a convenient place to buy or renew your Friends membership.

In 2019, your generosity is making it possible for the library to advance its key Strategic Goals. Donor support finds expression in many popular everyday services.

Your support makes possible the Focus on Early Literacy for the youngest members of our community. We’re able to fund storytime kits for checkout, early literacy music workshops, afterschool

programs and the award-winning Summer Reading Program.

Your support enables Lifelong Learning. One example: the Library’s Makerspace and its equipment and programs.

What is your favorite Makerspace offering? Have you used the new Laser Cutter or Silhouette Cameo Cutter? There are fall programs to connect you with these creative tools made possible by our donors.

Your support enables a Greater Sense of Community by funding the library’s key book discussions and literacy programs. Among those is One Book One Valley, the annual all-community reading event.

The next One Book One Valley takes place this January, funded by the Friends & Foundation. You can be there for the unveiling of the book at Cliffhanger Used Books on Friday, November 8 at 5:30 p.m. There’s still time to read all four finalists before the big reveal. Will your book be the one chosen? Suspense is such fun!

Your support allows the library to deliver materials on a personalized basis.

That means matching collections to your needs and interests. Case in point: the Friends & Foundation are underwriting the new Lucky Day Collection.

Lucky Day books are bestsellers and hot titles you can find on any given day: no wait, with a one-week checkout. I have now personally discovered and enjoyed three Lucky Day titles.

So much to do. Next: join us at the annual meeting on October 4, as we raise a toast to literacy, civic spirit, and the pursuit of some of our community’s finest goals.

Finding Common Ground Through Spacious Dialogue

October is Conflict Resolution Month, and the Estes Valley Library is collaborating with the Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership for a series of programs that ask, “Is it still possible to find common ground? And if so, how?” The first program in the series welcomes Dr. Elizabeth Parks for a presentation titled “Creating Spacious Dialogue” on Monday, September 30 from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

When understanding breaks down

and relationships begin to deteriorate, listening can be the solution to improving communication. Dr. Parks, author of “The Ethics of Listening: Creating Space for Sustainable Dialogue,” will discuss how our engagement with the listening process is informed by—and responsive to—culture. She will share strategies on how to move beyond listening that only benefits the self toward ethical listening that is both expressive and inclusive.

Dr. Elizabeth Parks is Assistant Professor of Communication Studies at Colorado State University. In a review of “The Ethics of Listening,” communications consultant Laura Janusik wrote: “Just when you think you know what listening is, Parks comes along and provides a fresh perspective. Her work in identifying 10 listening values that transcend cross-cultural discourse is both contemporary and relevant.”

Monday’s program will be held in the meeting room at the Estes Park Museum. To register, visit estesvalleylibrary.org.

A full roster of this season’s Conflict Resolution Month programs can be found in the Library’s Fall Programs & Services Guide, available at the library and at locations around town.

Learn About Recycling On Facebook By: Lisa Hutchins

Love it or hate it, you’ve got to admit that Facebook does have its uses. And right now the League of Women Voters of Estes Park’s Community Recycling Committee is making excellent use of Facebook through its new group, Estes Recycles.

Got a recycling question? We’ll answer it! Have a great recycling idea? Tell us!

Discovered something nifty about recycling? We want to know!

Estes Recyles is here to educate the public about recycling and showcase recycling efforts by EP individuals, businesses and organizations. We’re searching for information about all recycling avenues within reasonable distance to the Estes Valley. We’re sharing recycling success stories, answering questions, encouraging the reuse and reduction of consumer goods, and supporting community services that promote the three Rs: reduce, reuse and recycle. If you have a FB account and “like” our group, you’ll get notifications of new Estes Recycles posts in your news feed. And if you want to post in our group—something we definitely encourage—you’ll need to become a member. To join, go into Facebook and enter “Estes Recycles” in the top bar search function. Once the Estes

Recycles name comes up in a box, click on the “join” button. You’ll receive a Facebook message from the administrator once you’ve been added to the group, usually within 24 hours. Our group page is the place to see recycling news, announcements, updates and upcoming events, such as Crossroads Ministry’s Donate a Coat campaign, going on through the end of the month.

What you’ll find in our group is free, high-quality, up-to-date information about recycling in our community, as well as a way to share information with others. What’s more, our committee members have done the recycling research so you don’t have to (although we welcome your discoveries). All this with no screaming, no rants and no negativity.

Estes Recycles already has over 150 members since its recent inception a few weeks ago, and we’re aiming for at least a thousand—or more. So “like” our page and be a part of the awesome Facebook page that’s showing how the EP community can become a friend to the Earth.

Lisa Hutchins is a professional writer based in Estes Park. She’s an administrator for the Estes Recycles Facebook Group and edits the Estes Valley Watershed Coalition newsletter. Contact her at myapasas@gmail.com

Norma Irvine Norma’s life was defined first by faith, and then by family. At a young age Norma came to the point where she trusted Christ as her savior. Her relationship to Jesus Christ was the central pillar of her entire life. Because she loved her savior she gave her time and talents to various ministries like music, Sunday School, small group Bible studies, and regular participation in worship services.

Following Bob’s death Norma’s health slowly declined, and her mobility declined as well. What did not decline was her love for Christ, his church, and her friends and family.

Norma’s children wish to express their deep appreciation to Dr. Erika Norris for her excellent care for Norma, especially during these last Estes Park resident Norma Irvine passed away in her residence at Good months.
