EPMC Reminds Community Of Cold & Flu Season Precautions Temporary precautionary limitation on visitation now in place at EPMC and PPLC for visitors and patients As the northern hemisphere dips deeper into the winter months, cold and flu season swings into full effect. No community is immune to these annual outbreaks, and in order to ensure the health of patients and residents, Estes Park Medical Center and Prospect Park Living Center remind locals of the following guidelines: 1. No one with any kind of cough, cold, or flu symptoms should visit EPMC or PPLC. 2. Children under the age 13 should refrain from visiting EPMC or PPLC. 3. Healthy hospital and living center visitors are encouraged to use the hand sanitizer available in the lobbies at the

hospital, ER, and PPLC upon arrival and departure.

4. Visitors to PPLC are required to wear masks at all times.

Since the number of flu cases is currently up among the population, people with cough, cold, and flu symptoms are encouraged to call before coming to the clinic. “With the latest technology, we may be able to help our patients, safely and effectively, from the comfort of their own homes,” states Dr. Martin Koschnitzke, Chief Medical Officer, at EPMC. As a last reminder, anyone having difficulty breathing or shortness of breath should go directly to the Emergency Department or call 911.

Canoe the Sheenjek ALASKA’S ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE

January 12 6:30 pm Tucked into a remote corner of northeast Alaska, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is a place where wilderness can be experienced on an epic scale, encompassing over 19 million acres. It is a place of discovery and adventure; a place for solitude; a place to be self-reliant and close to nature. There are no manmade trails, parking lots or visitor centers.

In 1956, a party of five conservationists went on an expedition in the Sheenjek Valley to explore and campaign to protect this pristine area of Alaska. In the summer of 2017, Stan Havlick and Mike Fallon visited Last Lake, the most northerly destination of the 1956 party before canoeing over 100 miles of the Sheenjek River, which was inspired by their friend, 95 year old Bob Krear, a member of the original expedition.

Join Stan and Mike as they share some of their tales and photos of this historic adventure.

You may also enjoy viewing the DVD, Arctic Dance and reading the insightful book “Two in the Far North” by Mardy Murie. Stan, who has lived and traveled on all seven continents, will also devote a portion of his program to answering your questions about the wonderful world of travel.

Paving The Way To The Future: Estes Park Museum Collections & Research Facility

The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc. is raising $1M to build a new Museum Collections & Research Facility. The building will house more than 30,000 locally historic artifacts with research space for the general public and staff to examine, study, and process archives and artifacts. One avenue to fundraise for this important community resource is through the sales of paver stones etched with text and art. The eight by eight inch pavers can be designed and purchased by individuals, families, groups, organizations, and business owners with a lasting quote or memory.

Congratulations and thank you to John and Eve Barber who purchased multiple etched pavers and are actively supporting the Estes Park Museum Friends to build the much needed Collections & Research Facility.

"We want to honor my grandparents

and Estes Park pioneers Roy and Hazel Baldwin, including the efforts of Roy Baldwin at the Estes Park Area Museum during its earliest days. Through our own volunteer work with the Museum, we have seen how great the need is for a better place to store the Museum's irreplaceable artifacts. The new Collections facility will also improve access to individual artifacts as need for them arises.”

– John and Eve Barber If you are an individual, group, or organization interested in supporting this special project, please visit the following website to review the facility plans and download a paver order form: www.estesparkmuseumfriends.org/collections-and-research-building.

Mike Johnston, Candidate For Governor In Estes Park January 21 Mike Johnston, Colorado Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate for the 2018 election, will be in Estes Park on Sunday, January 21, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. to meet with voters and answer questions about his run for Governor. This event will be held at Elkins Distilling Co., 1825 North Lake Avenue, Estes Park. It is free and open to the public.

Mike was born and raised in Colorado, and has a significant Mike Johnston background in the education field. During high school and college, Mike was involved in community service activities, including volunteering at a homeless shelter and mentoring youth in a housing project.

He has a Master’s in Education Policy degree from Harvard and a law degree from Yale Law School. Besides teaching experience in the public education system as well as teaching education law at the University of Denver Law School, Mike has been an education policy advisor to politicians, including President Obama.

In 2009, Mike began his formal political career by serving in the Colorado State Senate. After eight years in the Colorado State Senate, Mike was term

limited, and in January 2017 announced his intention to run for Colorado Governor.

During his terms in the Colorado State Senate, Mike sponsored various progressive legislation, including in-state tuition benefits for children of military families, “Jump Start” to assist with economic development in Colorado’s struggling rural communities, full-day kindergarten with additional literacy support programs, community policing programs, tax credits for alternative fuel vehicles, civil unions legislation and protections, and professional development for teachers and school leaders, among others.

Mike is the first gubernatorial candidate to announce a plan for 100% renewable energy by 2040, and has proposed a plan called “Colorado Promise” that supports two years of debt-free education or skills training in return for service to the state such as trail repair, or fire mitigation and flood prevention work.

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com I heard from astute reader Bill U. this past week. He shared a Facebook link that showed a newspaper clipping that came from a tweet extracted from a book about words. The Elements of Eloquence by Mark Forsyth. We just don’t know what we know, ya know? I could paraphrase the article, but I might get some of the words in the wrong order, so here it is in perfect shipshape: Ever wondered why we say tick-tock, not tock-tick or ding-dong, not dong-ding; King Kong, not Kong King? Turns out it is one of the unwritten rules of English that native speakers know without knowing.

The rule, explains a BBC article, is “If there are three words then the order has to go I, A, O. If there are two words then the first is I and the second is either A or O. Mish-mash, chit-chat, dilly-dally, shillyshally, tip top, hip-hop, flip-flop, tic tac, sing song, ding dong, King Kong, ping pong. ” There’s another unwritten rule at work in the name Little Red Riding Hood, says the article. “Adjectives in English absolutely have to be in this order: opinion-size-age-shapecolour-origin-material-purpose noun. So you can have a lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife. But if you mess with that word order in the slightest you’ll sound like a maniac.”

That explains why we say “little green men” not “green little men” but “Big Bad Wolf ” sounds like a gross violation of the “opinion (bad) -size (big) -noun (wolf) ” order. It won’t though, if you recall the first rule about the I-A-O order.

That rule seems inviolable: “All four of a

horse’s feet make exactly the same sound.

But we always, always say clip-clop, never clop-clip.”

This rule even has a technical name, if you care to know it—the rule of ablaut reduplication—but then life is simpler knowing that we know the rule without knowing it.

If you’re like me, you are now going to spend the next hour trying to think of an exception to the rule. Good luck with that.

I tried, and came up with blinkity-blank, but it was a useful exercise because it kept me from doing something foolish like writing my column.

Ablaut reduplication, eh? That’s when you repeat a word with either an altered consonant (hurly-burly) or an altered vowel (pitter-patter). After that we go back to that rule about opinion-size-age-shape-colororigin-material-purpose, except when we use the I then A then O rule. Clear as mud, right? Easy peasy.

Some people like to solve math problems.

Others like to work the daily Sudoku in the paper. Me? I’m all about ablaut reduplication. Although I do ask, are we really reduplicating? Seems redundant, but nobody asked silly old me. Whatever it’s called, I love this stuff!

Ooo, eee, ooo ah ah. Ting, tang, walla walla bing bang!

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com One of the presents I received at Christmas was a new computer from my daughter Theresa, and son-in-law, Ed. Now I must learn Windows 10 and a new feel for a new keyboard. It is also wireless, so the mouse is rather silent, and I am not too sure when it clicks. Oh well, it is fun to learn new things. The other children also deluged me with wonderful things, so I have a lot of objects to play with or learn how to use. I can’t list them all in the space I have in this column but as time goes on, I will share with y’all what they are and why I was given them.

All in all, I had a wonderful time during the holiday season. We had a wedding in Houston, my oldest grandson married a lovely girl and all my family attended. There were various parties before and after the wedding. Marie, Nathan, Lexi, and I then drove to New Orleans for a day and on to Grand Isle for New Year’s Eve and day. How much better can it get? My son-in-law swears that we bring harsh weather. Now how can he say that, just because it froze and snowed on the island in the Gulf of Mexico. No fishing that trip.

Then we come home to the cold and freezing little paradise of Estes Park. But let me tell you, 28 degrees here is not near as cold as 30 degrees in Louisiana.

Anywhere that the temperature is at freezing calls for a good hot soup or chili. I had my friend Lori over the other night to watch a movie and eat chili. I

was going to make Cincinnati style but decided on doing a longtime favorite of my family’s and Mother’s. Although she is long gone, this recipe is dedicated to her. In a few days it will be my birthday and I would not be her if not for her.

Easy Chili-My Way 6-8 servings 1-1/2 lbs. ground beef, not more that 80% fat.

1 chopped onion 1 chopped red sweet pepper 2-3 cloves garlic finely chopped 1 -15-16 oz. can chili beans 1-15-16 oz. can diced tomatoes with garlic and basil 1-15-6 oz. Rotel tomatoes with chili peppers ½ tsp salt. Adjust later for taste 1 tsp. cumin 1 tsp. oregano 1 Tbs. chili powder. Adjust later for more heat, but I only used 1 Tbs. as the Rotel and beans are hot.

1 package of Jiffy cornbread mix or make your own.

Sauté meat with a little bit of oil. Using the grease from the meat, add red pepper and onions and fry until tender, Place in slow cooker and add all other ingredients. Cook on high for 2-3 hours until meat and vegetables are tender and cooked. I did about 2 hours. Heat oven to 400 degrees.

Place chili in a greased baking dish.

Make the cornbread and carefully place over the chili. Bake about 15-17 minutes or until the cornbread is done. Serve with cornbread on bottom and chili on top.

Hope you enjoy our family recipe.

Cincinnati style is the chili served over spaghetti with onions, beans and grated cheddar cheese on top. It is called Chili 5 ways and the beans are not in the chili but served on top. There are numerous chili parlors in Cincy, serving chili. Chili one way is with only spaghetti, as you add ingredients, it becomes chili 3 ways, etc. Just a bit of trivia for y’all.

In reading the Estes Park News, I was saddened and shocked at so many people who had died, many were friends of mine. My prayers, thoughts and condolences go out to the families.

Registration Open For Nonprofit Workshop Assessing organizational effectiveness using the Nonprofit Self Study How do you know if your nonprofit is on track? Do you need help preparing for your annual retreat? Would you like to develop objectives for the next one to three years? A self study may be just the thing your organization needs. A self study is a tool used by organizations to ask and answer the question, “How are we doing?”

Ideally, an organization conducts a self study from time to time to assess its strengths and weaknesses, and to identify specific areas where it may need to improve.

On Thursday, January 18 from 2:30 – 4:30 p.m., Board members and nonprofit staff are invited to learn more about using this amazing too and how you can benefit from completing your own self study. The workshop will be held in the Fellowship Hall of the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies.

The presenter, Bob Dickeson, is a local nonprofit consultant, President Emeritus of the University of Northern Colorado and developed The Nonprofit Self Study – a self-assessment tool for improving organizational effectiveness. The workshop will cover the following:

• What exactly is a self study?

• Why should organizations conduct a self study?

• Who in the organization should conduct the self study?

• What can you do with the results of a self study?

Get Your Tickets For Handstands For Quinn This Saturday Night!

Handstands for Quinn is a benefit for Quinn Brett, who took a 100 foot fall on El Capitan in October and suffered a severe spinal injury that's led to paralysis from the waist down.

Every penny raised goes directly to Quinn's recovery fund. The benefit will take place this Saturday, January 13, 5:0010:30 p.m. at The Ridgeline Hotel.

Quinn is an integral part of the Estes Park and climbing community -- she works as a climbing ranger each summer, rescuing injured hikers and climbers from the backcountry in Rocky Mountain National Park, and she's been inspiring outdoor enthusiasts for more than a decade with her mindboggling ascents around the world.

Her friends here in Estes have organized this one of a kind fundraiser and are bringing the world's best climbing film festival to town to benefit her. Every sin-

gle part of this effort is entirely volunteer and donation based-the film from REEL ROCK, the venue, the organization by her friends, and all the amazing experiences, art and outdoor gear donated by so many generous companies and organizations.

Your ticket will cover...

REEL ROCK Film-This is Estes Park’s premiere of the REEL ROCK film festival, now in it’s 12th season. Four films about inspiring athletes pushing their limits.

HOW ABOUT A 2018 OF ‘GREATNESS’?

Several years ago, I was handed a book by a dear friend. He said, “Read this and let me know what you think about it.” The book, ‘Good to Great’ was written by a Boulder researcher, Jim Collins and his team, publishing their findings in a book that instantly became a ‘best-seller’. Their discoveries were especially well received by the business world, because his study compared ‘great’ corporations with those that had settled for being just ‘good’. They then detailed the characteristics that result in their ‘great’ status.

The book was given me when we and our wives were on vacation so I didn’t start it right away, preferring to enjoy the Hawaiian sights instead. However, when we got home I could hardly lay it down. It made so much practical sense. However, the thing that intrigued me most was that Collins’ principles mirrored things that Jesus had taught in His ministry. In coming weeks, I hope to focus on a few of those things that contribute to and set the stage for ‘greatness’. However, before doing that, we need to ask ourselves whether we ‘want’ to be ‘great’ in the various aspects of our lives. Collins hit a nerve when he stated: “The greatest enemy of ‘greatness’ is ‘goodness’”. He notes, rightly, that most people and organizations, being content with a level of ‘goodness’, are not driven to strive for ‘greatness’. We can look at most aspects of lives and see that this is true.

Consider our ‘marriages’. Most couples seem ‘content’ with their relationships. We say: ‘we communicate’, ‘we do things together’, ‘our intimacy is fairly satisfying’, etc. and do little to try to discover ways of strengthening those aspects of our relationship. If we have so many ‘good’ relationships, why do so many marriage break up? One expert says all marriages fall into four categories: one-sixth are ‘Vitalized’ (great); one-third are ‘Congenial’ (good / okay); one-third are ‘De-vitalized’ (just hanging in there)’; one-sixth are ‘Combative’ (resulting in emotional, psychological, even physical abuse). As you consider your relationship, how would you rate it? How would your mate?

Reba McIntyre sang a song entitled: “She never did say so to daddy.” It depicted a wife who, after years of being taken for granted, left her husband a note, informing him that she was ‘done’ and was leaving to find happiness she had long been deprived of. I trust that you and your wife / husband share often about how each feels ‘we are doing’. As a marriage counselor, I have free ‘inventories’ you can use to assess where you are. During this Spring I hope to conduct a free ‘Marriage Enrichment’ workshop that can help. I hope you will consider attending it when you see it offered.

Consider our ‘parenting’. Most parents probably feel that they are doing a ‘good’ job of raising their children. Are you satisfied with how you relate to, guide, and train your children? It amazes me how often, when children are caught breaking the law, their parents are surprised. “They are such good kids, they would never do that!” In the Old Testament a prophet saw a woman he knew and sent his servant to ask about her family. The servant asked: “Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with your child?” She responded, “It is well!” Then, breaking down in tears, she shared that, in truth, it was ‘not well’, her son lie dead! If you, and yours, are asked: ‘Is it well with your family?’ how would you and they answer? Would it be the truth?

So, my desire in 2018 is to challenge us to move from ‘good to great’ in our homes and all aspects of our lives. If you have comments, questions, call Bob - 720-530-6446.

Cheley Camp, a private working ranch at the headwaters of the Fish Creek Watershed, has gone through some dramatic improvements since the 2013 flood. Improvements were made possible through the efforts of Estes Valley Watershed Coalition by spearheading grant applications and soliciting private donations that allowed the restoration efforts at Cheley Camp. EVWC staff worked tirelessly with its partners, sponsors and consultants (2Dot Consultants, Urbani Fisheries, EST Inc., the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, and Cheley Colorado Camp) to deliver restoration solutions that serve as an example for future projects within the community.

The project constructed six beaver dam analogues to recreate and enhance the pre-flood natural environment, while reconnecting the creek to the floodplain

Dances Of Peace At Estes Park Yoga You are invited to join us at Estes Park Yoga At 4:00 Saturday, January 20th, for the Estes Park Dances of Universal Peace, which will be led by Jyoti with flute, guitar and drum accompaniment.

Participate in meditation through movement and song, or you are welcome to enjoy the healing music, singing and meditation sitting on the side.

The theme of the first song starting the New Year is about being open for new experiences as we travel along this bridge of life, followed by a song from the Taoist tradition, “Be In the World and Not of It.�

A dance beloved around the world comes from Hawaii, “E Malala,� honoring earth, sky, sea, and stone, the sacredness of our planet From “The Book of Peace� by Sufi teacher and originator of the DUP, Murshid (Teacher) Samuel L. Lewis, we will dance “In Unison.� These interfaith practices build harmony and community and can be a source of support in facing life challenges.

The dances are by donation, no one denied joining. Please refrain from wearing fragrances, and bring water. Some dances are exuberant!

The second dance of 2018 will be held on Saturday, February 17th Estes Park Yoga, Park Place Mall 2nd floor, 145 E. Elkhorn Ave. Estes Park Colorado. For more information: 970-586-3254.

the water surface elevations by one to two feet. Brook trout have been observed in several of the ponds and beavers are beginning to construct new dams on their own.

Restoration of the stream and floodplain on the upper headwaters of Fish Creek created resiliency by improving the ability of the watershed to attenuate flood flows and reduce erosion for the protection and benefit of those downstream. This project improved water quality and aquatic habitat and the re-establishment of beaver ponds increased wetlands for the slow release of water during times of drought.

Seeking Potential Scholarship Providers For EPHS Graduates Dear Potential Local Scholarship Provider, It’s that time of year again to begin putting together our local scholarships! Below is the scholarship information.

Please take a look at the information and if you are interested in offering a scholarship this year, contact Hannah Heckerson at the number below.

Once the school receives all scholarship information, they will give each senior an application packet including instructions and all scholarship information. It is the students’ responsibility to put together their application packets and get them turned into the correct folder. Students have four weeks to turn in their applications. The folders will be available for scholarship providers to pick up from the high school on March 9th, 2018.

There will be a Donor Meeting on April 11th held at the Estes Park High School Library from 3:30 – 4:15 p.m. Similar to last year will be the process of coding student names with numbers. This is in an effort to protect student information.

The numbers instead of names will be shared at the Donor Meeting and you will have access to the numbers given to the student names you have provided. To allow time for coding, by April 6th at noon, please submit your tentative recipients and up to two back up recipients to EPHS. Students will be randomly assigned a number code. At the Donor

Meeting, the number code of your tentative recipients and back up recipients will be shared with a representative from your group. Shared with the entire Donor Group will be a list of each organization and the numbers representing their tentative recipients. You can double check this with the numbers of your students and also gauge if some numbers show up more than others. If no tentative recipients are submitted by April 6th, student names will not have time to be adequately coded and therefore not available to be shared at the Donor Meeting.

By April 18th at noon, please submit the list of your final recipient to me at EPHS. This will allow me to invite the proper students in time for the Awards Ceremony.

Following are a list of dates to mark on your calendars: • January 31st Revisions of scholarships due to the counseling office • February 7th Scholarship packets will be given to all seniors • March 7th Students applications are due to the counseling office • March 9th Application folders will be available for organizations to pick up at the High School • April 6th Names of tentative recipients due to High School if wish to take part in Donor Meeting • April 11th Donor Meeting at the High

School Library 3:30 – 4:15 p.m. • April 18th Final Recipient Names due to High School • May 16th Scholarship Award Ceremony and Appreciation Reception 6:009:00 p.m. in the EPHS Auditorium • May 25th EPHS Graduation Ceremony at Estes Park Event Center 7 p.m.

Please note we are hosting a special night to award the recipients their scholarships on May 17th. We will inform the recipients of the event, but will surprise them with which award they are receiving. Your organization will have the opportunity to talk about the scholarship and why the recipient was chosen. This will be followed by an Appreciation Reception so Donors and Recipients have the chance to interact. I will also include a list of all local scholarships in the graduation ceremony program. If you have any questions or concerns about the process, please do not hesitate to contact me. Estes Park High School truly appreciates your organization for its generosity and commitment to the students in our community.

With Gratitude, Hannah Heckerson, M.Ed., NCC, LPCC, School Counselor, Estes Park High School, phone 970-586-5321 ext.

Last Chance To Register Your Child For Mad Science Club’s Winter Session: Weather And Natural Disasters

Estes Outreach is pleased to continue its partnership with educational based re-tail store, Wild Child, to offer a Mad Science Club for area youth ages 7-12 years.

Scientists will explore the wacky, wild, and sometimes funny side of science.

The winter session will focus on Weather and Natural Disasters: what is a tsunami, how does a volcano affect the Rocky Mountain landscape? Scientists will keep a lab book where they journal their predictions, sketch their observations and draw conclusions.

This town is full of scientists researching important issues facing our parks, forests, and the town itself. This class is a natural extension of our strengths. The

Mad Science Club's goal is to develop stronger science observation and inquiry skills through practical applications.

The instructor for this class is Wild Child owner Erin Hunt, certified teacher and librarian. She has an MA in Educational Technology and an MLS (Master's of Library Science). She currently teaches at Estes Park Options.

Mrs. Hunt has a pas-sion for teaching kids the wild side of science, and a special interest in keeping young girls engaged in STEAM subjects.

Class will be held at Wild Child, 1751 N. Lake Ave., Wednesdays, January 17 February 7 from 3:30—5 p.m. The cost is $46/4 weeks; cost includes all materials.

For more information and registration, visit EstesOutreach.org

Spanish Language Classes Start January 23

Aubrey Kinley 10th Grade Congratulations to Aubrey Kinley, Student of the Week for January 12, 2018.

At EPHS, Aubrey is the Secretary of the FFA chapter and is the manager for the boy’s wrestling team.

She is also a student leader of FCA. Outside of school she enjoys almost everything outdoors. She loves riding her horse and

roping, hunting, fishing and riding dirt bikes. She teaches Sunday School at her church and in the summer months, she volunteers at a Christian guest ranch.

Aubrey’s favorite quote is “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11. This Bible verse reminds Aubrey that God has got it under control and her job is just to love others as He loves us.

After high school, Aubrey hopes to become either a ranch manager and start her own cattle ranch or become an interior designer so she can work alongside her Dad.

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.

Estes Outreach continues to offer a robust Spanish language series for the community. Classes have a conversational focus, with as much language and cultural immersion as possible. These classes meet the needs of locals who enjoy traveling, lapsed Spanish students who want to brush up on skills, people who work with native Spanish speakers, and more. The cost for this series is $100/per person for twelve weeks of instruction.

José Almeida is a native of Ecuador who has taught Spanish for 30 years (21 years in Japan). José is currently the School District Family and Cultural Liaison and has been teaching Adult Education Spanish classes through the Outreach program for the past eight years.

He is an enthusiast for language and cultural education. There is a devoted, reg-

ular core to these classes that welcomes new students and those that want to get their feet wet with trying. Come join in!

Join Habitat For The Ground Blessing Of New Lyons Development

Habitat for Humanity of the St. Vrain Valley invites the community to share in the Ground Blessing of its new Park Street Development in Lyons on Saturday, January 13th at 3:00 p.m. It will take place on site at the corner of Second Avenue and Park Street.

Three duplexes will be built in the Park Street Development. These homes will provide the first affordable housing to be constructed in Lyons since the 2013 flood destroyed approximately 70 homes in that community. Priority for homeownership will be given to residents who were displaced by the flood, allowing them to return to the town they love.

Three future homeowners have already been selected with the next round of selections scheduled to begin January 15th.

Construction of the infrastructure necessary for the new homes is underway.

Habitat will begin using volunteers on site in the spring for construction of the new homes.

Some financial support for this project will come from the Disaster Recovery funding provided by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Colorado Department of Housing, and from private foundations. Yet there is still a substantial need for additional funds in order to complete the project.

“We can build only as fast as we can raise

funding from the community and as we have volunteers to build the homes,” stated John Lovell, Director of Development for St. Vrain Habitat. “We will be reaching out to corporations, churches, and foundations to help support this work, but it is the residents of Lyons and the surrounding communities that will help make this project a reality.”

Habitat for Humanity builds safe, decent housing. Costs are contained through the use of volunteers, managed and overseen by a professional construction crew, to build the homes.

Homeowners are chosen based on need and ability to repay a low-cost mortgage that is based on the actual cost of the home. Each adult that will occupy the home contributes at least 250 hours of “sweat equity” during construction.

For information on volunteering contact Rebecca Shannon at rshannon@stvrainhabitat.org or 303682-2485, ext. 102. For information on the homeowner application process contact Erin Minaya at eminaya@stvrainhabitat.org or 303-6822485, ext. 104. To make a donation to Habitat’s work visit www.stvrainhabitat.org and click the orange “Donate” button in the navigation menu on the right side of the home page.

great opportunity for students to learn more specifics about areas that they are interested and it will be a great time to make connections and get any lingering questions that students may have answered.

You want to help out but you are unable to make a commitment from 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m.?

Please let us know what times you are able to commit from. If you can only do the morning for the career fair or only the afternoon with 8th graders we would still be honored to have you!

program. May there always be a next one. In addition to songs by Melissa Westover, Scott Anderson, Bob Gunn and Valerie Dascoli, the usual soloists for the Oratorio Society’s more classical concerts, some new participants will include Robert Howard, posing as Papgeno from Mozart’s Magic Flute, as well as Kathye and Stan Osborne playing flute and piano respectively in their rendition of The Ashokan Farewell. This was the mournful yet hopeful theme behind Ken Byrne’s Civil War Series on PBS twenty-five years ago. As a new offering, Nancy Bell will sing the lovely Solveig’s Song from Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite. However, because so many who attended the fund-raiser for Crossroads in November asked to hear it again, Nancy will sing one selection that will not be new to her fans. She will conclude the concert with Eva Cassidy’s arrangement of “Over the Rainbow.” What a hopeful way to begin this new year!

Of course, these talented singers could not perform without support. The talented supporting pianists will include Margie Patterson, Verlene Thorp and Diane Roehl. Once again, the Peak to Peak Committee is very grateful to Bob Gunn for gathering all of the singers and accompanists for this program and to its faithful patrons who make Estes Park a musical mecca even in the middle of the winter. This committee will offer a reception after the 3:00 concert so that everyone can express their appreciation to the singers before they go home singing their songs in their hearts.

Mercy Seasons Justice Revenge? Retribution? Or restoration?

Gentle reader, please ponder these questions: How do you personally repair harm done to others? How might a community address injurious behavior to restore trust? How do we shape a “good” society? How might we impel adolescents to intentionally design their lives for the betterment of humanity?

“To have justice in our community, we must first have community in our justice.

Restorative Justice includes individuals accepting responsibility for their actions and attempting to right the wrongs they have done.” Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership (EVRJP) Annual Report, 2003 The Code of Hammurabi was blunt: “an eye for an eye.” The King James Bible offered corporal guidance: “He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.” In “Measure for Measure” Shakespeare posed a philosophic perspective: “They say best

men are moulded out of faults, and, for the most, become much more the better for being a little bad.”

Lifting a line from Virgil, Alexander Pope in 1732 encouraged early intervention in the lives of the young: “’Tis education forms the common mind. Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined.” In 1833, Tennyson argued for benign intercession from leaders who were “Discerning to fulfil this labor, by slow prudence to make mild a rugged people, and thro' soft degrees subdue them to the useful and the good.” Robert Kennedy in 1968 reminded us, “All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong and repairs the evil.”

This condensed narrative of ethical evolution (eye, rod, moulded, twig, soft degrees, yield) raises questions: how might communities engender a restorative (not retributive) culture? What worthy behaviors might adults model for the young?

“The mission of the Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership is to provide a community based alternative for addressing non-violent offenses. We provide opportunities for victim healing, hold accountable those who commit the offenses, and rebuild and repair relationships, in order to enhance community safety and cohesion.” EVRJP, 2003 EVRJP arose from a 2002 Community Group Conference convened to address inappropriate juvenile behavior on the Riverwalk; people were frustrated but sensed jail time wasn’t the best response. Richard Guest, Lowell Richardson, Amanda Nagl, Earl Matson, Frank Shavlik and others helped establish Restorative Justice practices in the Estes Valley.

Richard: “We hoped to reempower victims and restore them to the extent possible to their condition ante-crime. The retribution society focuses on offenders; in Restorative Justice we focus on the victim(s), searching for appropriate responses in which the offender can make changes to become more social.”

“Restorative justice personalizes crime by having

Friday, January 12, 2018 victims and offenders mediate a restitution agreement to the satisfaction of each, as well as involving the community. Offenders take meaningful responsibility for their actions, seizing the opportunity to right their wrongs and redeem themselves.

The approach is based on a theory of justice that considers crime and wrongdoing to be an offense against an individual or community, rather than the State. ” (Wikipedia) Estes Park’s Restorative Justice Manager is Melissa Westover. A volunteer in 2008, she has been Manager since 2013. “Our mission is to restore community one relationship at a time. Quick solutions aren’t necessarily the best; trust builds slowly. Restorative practices take time and may be better. This is an opportunity to resolve issues and move forward.

It’s a shift in the way we treat each other.

The benefit is huge, but it really is one relationship at a time.”

Today this joint venture between the Town of Estes Park Police Department and EVRJP encompasses two full-time staff and fifty-five volunteers (more are welcome) managing seven different programs, including Community Circles (re-entry after incarceration), Restorative Community Mediation (conflict resolution of neighborhood issues), and Girls Circles and Boys Council (for students ages 9-18). In 2017 Estes Park Schools became a restorative practices district. EVRJP has worked with individuals aged ten to eighty-seven.

When devising a restorative contract with an offender, EVRJP seeks to create a system of repair that is S. M.A. R.T. :

specific, measurable, achievable, relevant to harm and timely. This is not done quickly—resolutions may take up to six months. I recently participated as one of ten individuals, including the offender, his parents, school district officials, the police and community members. We invested two hours in a structured process that culminated in a contract intended to repair harm done to individuals and the larger Estes Valley community. The offender took responsibility and is currently fulfilling his contract.

Program Coordinator Denise Lord: “I love that I get to interact and work with so many people. It has helped to embed me in the community in a way I never could before. Wherever I go I know someone in Estes Park and feel connected. I get to work WITH people, as well as coordinating circles and leading trainings. We seek positive relationships among peers and adults that will result in good decision-making, increased engagement with school, improved school attendance, greater student satisfaction and retention to graduation.”

Melissa Westover will serve as chair for Colorado’s State Restorative Justice Council through 2018, advocating for principles of respect, responsibility, repair and reintegration. “There’s such a healing component in our work, and I want it to continue to grow. It’s all about getting people in the same room and talking it out, one relationship at a time.”

Thank You From Bright Christmas To The Editor: Bright Christmas celebrated our 33rd year of helping families in need in the Estes Park area on Dec. 13th. We assisted 130 families and their 290 children with gifts, food and more. We gave several dozen new bicycles to kids who asked for them; many were purchased by the family sponsors or through funds donated to Bright Christmas. Helmets are available to the kids from the Estes Park Mountain Shop. Every family received boxes of food, cleaning supplies and items for a Christmas dinner. Through a partnership with Plum Creek we can help provide specially priced high quality shoes and boots to children who need them.

Once again, this community overwhelmed us with support. Most of the families were sponsored for gifts by community businesses, service groups, churches or individuals. The BIONIC program at the high school helped with gifts for children for a third year. An ongoing partnership with the Knights of Columbus provided dozens of new gifts to be used by Bright Christmas, extras were donated to Crossroads for families who missed the Bright Christmas program. Quality used bedding was received from the Elizabeth Guild, Castle Mountain Lodge and Aspen Winds.

Food for the families was purchased from Country Super Market at a generous discount and Claire’s on The Park donated food items for the families. The Big Horn Restaurant helped us collect boxes to put the food in. Estes Park Rent All donated the use of tables and Waste Management donated the use of two dumpsters. The Merry Martha’s knitting group provided warm scarves and hats.

A huge thank you goes out to the Recreation District for allowing us to use

the Hangar Restaurant and clubhouse for our distribution site and to the staff of the golf course who provide set-up, food sorting, box packing, and gift loading for the families. Our partnership with Crossroads Ministry helps us identify families in need, and we in turn can help provide gifts for more families in need through them. A very special thank you to Eva Banuelos of Crossroads for her help with the project. Master Graphics donates almost all our printed items, the YMCA gave us 30 family memberships, Mama Rose’s and Poppy’s fed our volunteers. Kind Coffee kept us supplied with hot coffee. MedX and Master Graphics served as drop off points for the gifts and other donated items. We are thankful for the many businesses in town who offer a generous discount to sponsors shopping locally.

Estes Park News and the Trail Gazette are supportive in promoting our program to the community and families in need.

In 2017 we were also able to supply nearly 100 children with new school supplies and add to the school supply stock that the schools have for students.

We are also available for emergency needs to children of local families.

This community is so unique in that they truly care for those who are less fortunate. Because of this caring, and the hundreds who volunteer time and donated resources, Bright Christmas exists.

Bright Christmas is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization. Your donations are deductible and may be sent to PO Box 2981, Estes Park, CO 80517.

Sincerely, The Board of Directors Estes Park Bright Christmas, LTD

Donald Lickfett Donald Lickfett, age 81, passed away at his home in Estes Park, on January 7, 2018.

He was born in 1936, in Madelia, MN and had lived in Estes Park, since 1996.

Don is survived by his wife, Gloria, of 58 years and five daughters, Sue and Sally of Tucson, Sarah, of Reno, Janet of Eagle, and Julie of Bend. He has ten grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

Don graduated from Madelia High School in 1954 and he got his bachelors degree at St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN. After college, he spent a year in the National Guard. He and Gloria were married in 1959.

After several years working with his father in the family business, Lickfett Elevator Company, in Madelia, Don and Gloria began a new adventure. In 1973, they bought a motel in Loveland, Colorado and made the move with their five little girls. After ten fulfilling years in Loveland, Don and Gloria bought their second motel in Frisco.

Their life in Frisco helped them to real-

ize their love for the mountains.

Upon retirement in 1996, they built a home in the mountains of Estes Park.

For the past twenty years, Don was very active in the Estes Park community.

He served on the Salvation Army board, volunteered for Meals on Wheels and Crossroads and worked as a volunteer in Rocky Mountain National Park.

Most meaningful to Don, were the various jobs he was able to do for his church.

A memorial service will be held on Monday, January 15, at 11:30 a.m., at Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran Church, 2000 Ptarmigan Trail, Estes Park, CO, 80517.

As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be sent to: Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran Church c/o Allnutt Funeral Service, 1302 Graves Ave. Estes Park, CO 80517.

Hospice of Estes Valley, c/o Allnutt Funeral Service, 1302 Graves Ave. Estes Park, CO 80517.

Recycling Update By: Judi Smith In a country that is ecologically disintegrating at the federal level, it is nice to know that our local enterprises are entrepreneurially, going the extra mile to assist Estes Valley residents in finding new and beneficial ways to dispose of things they no longer want or need.

We have a brand new Planet Partner, Plum Creek Shoes, who now accept free trade-ins – even if you do not buy your new shoes in their store. Shoes, boots, slippers, sandals, heels or sneakers, simply bring them to the store. If the shoes are in wearable condition, they will be passed on to the Elizabeth Guild. If not wearable, like mine were last week, they are given to appropriate recyclers in the valley who can part them out and recover the raw materials.

Of course, our grocery stores, both Safeway and Country Market, are an immense help in corralling those flimsy plastic bags that otherwise blow in the wind and get caught on our hillside shrubbery or the antlers of our elk.

Country Market returns the grocery or gift bags to their manufacturer who reprocesses them, minimizing both the energy and the resources needed to create bags from scratch. Safeway actually includes grocery and gifts bags, ziplock bags, bread bags, produce bags and other forms of plastic film. Just put them in the container by the west entrance door. We all know it is better to use the reusable bags, but the problem is persistent. At the League of Women Voters Spring Recy-

cling Meeting, Monday evening March 26, at the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies we will attempt to address ways we can minimize the proliferation. Come and add your voice to the solution.

Tim Stolz from Bestway Painting reports that they have removed 63,820 pounds of paint and stain (about 7,252 gallons) from the environment during 2017. If you have old architectural paint, solvent, stain, deck cleaner and other similar products, contact Tim to arrange for pickup. TEStolz@hotmail.com or 970-518-4001. What is useable will supplement his stock and what is not will be recycled at the Haz Mat Center for Larimer County. This saves you a trip down the mountain carrying hazardous material and the service is free! Tim also provides collection at the Estes Recycles Day events. Watch for date in upcoming columns.

Mike McCleery, whose business is called Scrap Haulers, has a similar service. He collects microwaves, pots and pans, metal utensils and small appliances. This service is also free as the valley recycler will cover his costs. Along with electronics, paint, and paper shredding (plus Freecycle Estes), we are considering adding scrap metal at the spring event. I could use some public feedback on this. Do you think the collection would be helpful to you?

The next meeting of the LWV&CRC is February 7, 10 a. m., in the Wasson Room at the Estes Valley Public Library.
