Elusive Pine Marten In Rocky Mountain National Park The pine marten is a member of the weasel family. Males are about two feet long, with an eight inch tail, and they weigh about 1 1/2 pounds. Females are a bit smaller than the males, and weigh half as much. Martens are mostly nocturnal, and generally solitary. They make dens in log or tree hollows, squirrel nests and burrows. Their habitats are forests of spruce, fir or lodge-pole pine.

Their preferred food is the chickaree or pine squirrel; as well as nesting birds and voles and they also like to munch on plants and insects.

Themed in step with the brand tagline, "Connecting Our Community," the event featured an official brand reveal and "fiber lighting" ceremony, informational exhibits, user resources, demonstrations and more guided through a trail path for guests to enjoy.

Other tie-ins included a past to present dialogue, visuals and setting to honor the Town's innovative history.

"Founded from cornerstones of community vitality and connectivity, Trailblazer strives to meet the needs and values of our customers," said Kate Rusch, Town of Estes Park Public Information Officer. "Since the service's inception, Town developers stayed tuned to local

residents' perspectives to ensure the community voice and values remain at the forefront."

Downtown Water Main Upgrade Begins Mid-October Work area includes Rockwell Street, the Post Office parking lot, Ivy Street and West Riverside Drive The Town of Estes Park's Water Division will begin upgrades to a water main downtown in mid-October. The project will be completed in phases to occur through January 2020, tentatively, causing rolling closures of parking areas and traffic lanes along Rockwell Street, within the Post Office parking lot, Ivy Street and West Riverside Drive. The water main upgrades are necessary to increase fire protection capacity to the core of downtown, including installation of three new hydrants. The upgraded main will also provide better flow for water customers located on the north end of the distribution system.

Beginning Oct. 14 the eastern half of the Post Office parking lot will be fenced off as a working zone through the first two phases of the project. The western half of the lot, near the Post Office and businesses, will remain open.

Phase one of the main replacements will tentatively take place Oct. 21 - Nov. 15. This phase will include the closure of Rockwell Street from Moraine Avenue to the northwestern entrance to the Post Office parking lot on Rockwell Street. Both the northwest entrance to the Post Office lot and the western en-

trance to the Riverside lot will remain open until work crosses the intersection into the Post Office lot, at which time there will be a rolling closure of these entrances. Sidewalks may also be closed for safety reasons. Traffic Control signage will be in place.

Phase two will tentatively take place Nov. 18 - Dec. 13. It will continue the closure of the eastern half of the Post Office parking lot, as well as the southeastern entrance at Ivy Street. The northeastern entrance to the parking lot on Rockwell Street will remain open with the exception of two days while work crosses Rockwell into the Post Office parking lot. This will allow access to the USPS drop boxes on foot. Sidewalks will remain open.

Phase three will tentatively take place Dec. 16 - Jan. 31. This phase will require the closure of the northbound lane of Ivy Street and West Riverside Drive to Crags Drive. Short duration full street closures may be required. Also closed during this phase will be the sidewalk and parking spaces along West Riverside Drive and in the West Riverside parking lot. Detour signage will be in place.

A project map and regular project updates will be posted to www.estes.org/waterprojects. For more information, please contact the Water Division at 970-577-3608.

Project Announcement Rumble Strip Work Starts On US 36 PROJECT OVERVIEW The Colorado Department of Transportation and Surface Preparation Technologies have scheduled rumble strip construction along US 36 in Larimer and Boulder counties. The project will include centerline mill work and pavement markings.

Rumble strips are an effective measure for reducing roadway departure crashes. The noise and vibration produced by rumble strips alert drivers when they leave the travel lane. Centerline rumble strips reduce head-on collisions and cross-over crashes; shoulder rumble strips reduce run-offthe-road crashes and warn drivers when they have drifted from their lane. Surface Preparation Technologies LLC is the contractor for this $365,000 project.

PROJECT SCHEDULE Work is scheduled to begin October 7, 2019. Crews will install centerline rumble strips and restripe all existing center lines along a 30.6-mile stretch of US Highway 36 (excluding the town of Lyons). Construction will take place between milepost marker 1.684 near Estes Park and milepost marker 32.060

north of Boulder. The project will take approximately two weeks to complete.

Normal working hours will be from 7 am to 7 p.m., Monday-Friday. No weekend work is planned, however; Saturday work may be necessary, if delays are encountered.

TRAVEL IMPACTS • Motorists can expect single lane closures with delays from 5 to 10 minutes.

• No single lane closure will exceed two miles, but there may be multiple closures set up allowing the work convoy to continue while the previous closure is removed.

If you have questions or concerns, or if you would like to be added to our public outreach contact list to receive construction updates, please contact us! We invite you to visit the Public Information Plan Project Story Map at CDOT US 36 Rumble Strip Map and the CDOT project website at https://www.codot.gov/projects/us36-rumble-strip-construction-fromboulder-to-estes-park.

Stanley Home Museum And Education Center Capital Campaign Reaches $1.3 Million The Historic Stanley Home Foundation started its Capital Campaign in January 2019. Recent significant gifts have brought the total funds raised to more than $1,300,000. This brings the campaign to 67% of the total campaign goal.

The campaign will continue through the end of 2019 to secure the necessary funds to purchase the Stanley Home and the 4.4 acres surrounding it. The Foundation is asking all who wish for this home to be saved to make a pledge or donation now to be certain that the home will be available to this and future generations of local citizens and visitors.

Over 300 donors have become Charter Members of the organization through their participation in the Campaign.

Recognition of each and every donor will rightfully be accorded to honor their show of community pride.

The campaign must be completed by

the end of this year to enable the many volunteers of the Foundation to shift their attention to the preparation of the home and our processes to begin public tours of the home in the summer of 2020.

Please join your friends and neighbors in honoring the legacy of F.O. and Flora Stanley and their contributions to our community. This is an effort that must succeed now, as it will very likely never be repeated. This mission must be accomplished now.

Please visit our website at www.historicstanleyhome.org, email us at stanleyhistorichome@gmail.org or call Tom Shamburg at (970) 590-9468 with any questions you may have and to donate or pledge your support.

Much has been accomplished by the supporters of The Historic Stanley Home Foundation since its formation in late 2016. We thank you in advance for joining us in fulfilling this mission now.

Next Drug Collection Scheduled For October 26 Police encourage safe disposal of unwanted prescription and over-thecounter drugs On Saturday, Oct. 26, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. the Town of Estes Park Police Department will offer Estes Park’s Drug Take Back Day to collect unused, unwanted and expired prescription and over-the-counter drugs for safe disposal — no questions asked. “Now is a good time to mark your calendar and start collecting everything you want to get out of the medicine cabinet,” commented Officer Gregg Filsinger, who manages this free service for the community. The collection will be held in front of Rocky Mountain Pharmacy, located at 455 East Wonderview Ave. in Upper Stanley Village. Police officers will collect the drugs, which will remain in the custody of law enforcement officers until they can be incinerated.

Estes Park’s Drug Take Back Day is part of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s national campaign to provide a safe way for people to empty their medicine cabinets of unwanted and potentially harmful prescription drugs. To

find participating collection sites in other communities, visit www.dea.gov.

Misused and abused prescription drugs containing controlled substances can lead to cases of accidental poisoning, overdose and addiction.

The most recent National Survey on Drug Use and Health indicates that prescription medicines are the most abused drugs by Americans, next to marijuana. Seven of the 10 drugs most commonly abused by teenagers are prescription medicines and three quarters of teen prescription drug abusers obtain the drugs from family and friends — often from a home medicine cabinet. Ridding homes of these substances greatly reduces the potential for abuse and accidental poisoning.

Items which cannot be accepted at the Drug Take Back Day collection sites are needles and sharps, mercury thermometers, oxygen containers, chemotherapy/radioactive substances, pressurized canisters, marijuana and illicit drugs. For more information, please contact Officer Gregg Filsinger of the Estes Park Police Department at 970-577-3868 or at 970-586-4000.

The charge(s) are merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

On September 21 at 8:25 p.m. police placed additional charges against a 30 year old Estes Park male who was initially charged in connection with the graffiti that had been found around town. Last week the male was charged with criminal mischief, unlawful possession of a controlled substance and theft and this week, an additional charge was added which was unlawful possession of a schedule two substance. The male remained in the Larimer County Jail.

On September 23 at 4:26 p.m. police were called to a disturbance at 950 Big Thompson Ave. On scene they arrested a 40 year old transient female and charged her with a violation of a restraining order and they transported her to the Larimer County Jail.

On September 28 at 10:29 p.m. police were called to a physical disturbance in progress at 3501 Fall River Road. Upon arrival they arrested a 55 year old male from Arvada, CO and charged him with third degree assault and domestic violence against a 53 year old victim. The male was transported to the Larimer County Jail.

10 Years Of Celebrating Philanthropy In Estes

By: Karen McPherson for the Nonprofit Resource Center

The 10th annual National Philanthropy Day celebration is a month away, November 14th at the YMCA of the Rockies.

Let’s travel back in time to re-discover why this town celebrates philanthropy and how it all began.

The first event was hosted by the Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center (EPNRC) board as a way to acknowledge the tireless efforts and impact of local nonprofits. It simply started as a way to say thank you. Really, the first year was probably thrown together in a month’s time. The board made all the food and baked all the goodies.

The first event was held at the Hondius Room, the second year at the Estes Park Hospital boardroom, and then the third year out at the YMCA of the Rockies (originally at the Willhome building, but, starting in 2015, Assembly Hall). It has grown from a gathering room at the library to a packed house of over 400 people each year.

The Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center was founded as a community wide call to help the growing number of local organizations with grants, board structure, networking and resources. But nonprofits do not exist as islands. They need volunteers and donors. It is key that those supporters understand the critical role they play in philanthropy, and the support they provide to nonprofit organizations. The categories of time (volunteering), talents (serving on a

board, advising), and treasure (donating money and resources) were informally called out as a way for community members to understand the various ways one can be a philanthropist. When people feel valued and understand how they fit into the philanthropy pie, they are inclined to continue to give their time, talents, and treasure and share the importance of their social impact with friends.

Awards started the second year as a way to publicly honor the town’s dogooders. Each year, award are presented for Katie Speer Philanthropist of the Year, Business Philanthropist of the Year, Enduring Service, and Youth Philanthropist of the Year. This year’s event will feature a Hall of Fame celebrating the last 10 years of award recipients.

The original board tapped into National Philanthropy Day as an existing program that is celebrated across the country. The YMCA of the Rockies has donated thousands and thousands of dollars in event space and food over the years to support this event; they give this huge gift to our community. The Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center staff and volunteer subcommittees continue to produce this annual event.

Nominations are now open for the November 14th event; please consider nominating someone that has an impact on our community.

RSVPs to this event can be made online at epnonprofit.org.

Imagine five siblings—a couple of rambunctious boys, a couple of innocent girls, and a little one—at home while their mother is having coffee at the next-door neighbor’s house. The youngsters decide that while the cat’s away, it’s time to play.

One of the brothers leads his siblings to the kitchen where he reaches into the forsaken territory of mom’s purse and pulls out a Petri dish. Four sets of eyes grow big.

The boy takes the lid off and as his brother and sisters watch, pokes his finger at the clear gelatin. They each follow suit, rubbing and swirling their fingers in the slick, slimy gel. The lid goes back on, the dish is slipped back into the purse, and the kids disperse, assuming they will never be caught.

Imagine the mother’s surprise when she finds the Petri dish a day later with green fuzzies growing in it. Four sneaky siblings, busted!

I hope her plan had been to teach her children about the bacteria growing on their fingers by having them touch the gel and then seeing what grows there. The lesson was learned but she didn’t get to be the instigator of the fun experiment. While rearing five children, she is probably used to such disappointments.

Back in the kitchen on another day, the older boy climbs up on the kitchen counter, reaches high to open the cupboard above the refrigerator, and grabs a box labeled Groats. He climbs down from the counter, pours the mystery food into a bowl, and his siblings gather around to see what groats are. To children who are used to eating Chef Boyardee Spaghetti-Os and Campbell’s alphabet soup, the unfamiliar groats look like mealy worms. (Groats are the hulled kernels of various cereal grains such as oat, wheat and barley. Steel-cut oats are simply sliced-up groats.)

“Gross!” the innocent girls chime in unison.

“Groats!” the brothers chortle. They leave the box, bowl, and groats for their mother to deal with when she finds the disorder later.

This simple memory came to mind when a friend told me about one John Brinkley, who claimed to be a medical doctor in the first half of the 20th century. He implanted

goat testicles into male patients who hoped for increased or restored virility. (I heard this gross goat story and it reminded me of groats. Goats. Groats. It’s an obvious transition. Do I need to explain further?)

This goat gland transplant “doctor” Brinkley was a fraud with no medical degree yet he achieved national notoriety and great wealth, continuing his practice for almost 20 years, based in the little town of Milford, Kansas. He ran hospitals in several states (and ran from several states that wanted him behind bars), operated while intoxicated, and was sued more than a dozen times for wrongful death. He promoted his eclectic procedure as a cure for more than two dozen inflictions, from dementia to emphysema to flatulence. He was a bigamist, marrying one of his wives after only four days of courtship. Yet he was revered by hundreds of thousands, running for governor of Kansas twice and almost winning once. (Almost. Thank goodness voters did not elect a swindler into public office. Imagine the folly!)

The owner of the Los Angeles Times newspaper invited Brinkley to California, promising to make him the most famous surgeon in America if he could successfully transplant goat testicles into one of his editors. (I wonder if the editor had a choice in the matter. Fortunately for him, the operation was deemed a success.)

Brinkley was so enamored with the money and potential patients in LA that he almost moved his practice there. However, the California medical board refused his application for a license.

Eventually his gross goat gland gaff caught up with Brinkley and he died nearly broke due to the large number of malpractice, wrongful death and fraud suits brought against him.

It is hard to believe people were so gullible a hundred years ago. Are we any different today?

By the way, did you know the word gullible is not in the dictionary? Go ahead, look it up.

October 10th Is World Mental Health Day October 10th is World Mental Health Day, a public observance day to raise awareness about mental health issues that affect people all over the world. It also gives mental health workers, doctors, nurses and other professionals a chance to dispel mental health myths, reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues and to help people recognize when they or their friends and family members may need to seek treatment.

One in five adults experiences a mental illness in any given year. Those problems can contribute to the onset of more serious long-term conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. Approximately one-half of chronic mental illness begins by the age of 14. Unfortunately, long delays sometimes decades - often occur between the time symptoms first appear and when people get help.

It is critical to learn to recognize early symptoms of mental illness and talk with a doctor about any concerns. Early

identification and treatment can make a difference for successful management of a condition.

Great Pets Looking For New, Forever Homes!

Freddy is a very sweet, lab/shar-pei mix who is still looking for his perfect, forever home. He is a handsome guy, about four years old and house trained. Freddy is good with other dogs and kids. He is good on a leash and all the volunteers love spending time with him.

Freddy is currently living at Dr. C's Animal Hospital of the Rockies, please call (970) 586-4703 to get an appointment to meet either of them.

Mochachino is an adorable, five month old tortoiseshell colored kitty who came to Estes from St Croix. This island girl is sweet and friendly.

Paws is about two years old. She starts out a little bit shy but gets over it and is happy, fun and affectionate. She is a big gal but we think that makes her even cuter!

Sweet Scotty is five months old. He is friendly, happy and playful and may have some Siamese in his blood.

Marbles is about seven years old. She is a very sweet girl who gets along fine with dogs, but we’re still not sure about cats.

Mochachino, Paws, Scotty and Marbles are currently living at the Pet Lodge at the Animal Medical Center on Manford Avenue. Call 586-9282 for more information or to meet any of them.

Make sure to “Like” and follow the Estes Park Pet Association Facebook page to see other animals that may not be pictured this week.

All pets are offered through the Pet Association of Estes Park, a non-profit organization that works to find homes for stray and abandoned pets, control dog and cat populations by funding sterilization programs, educate members of the community, especially young people, about the humane treatment of animals and the responsibilities of pet ownership; and promote community involvement in the use of pets as therapeutic agents (e.g., in nursing homes).

The Estes Park Pet Association is your local humane society. You can make a tax-deductible donation to the Pet Association by sending your check to P.O. Box 4342, Estes Park, CO 80517.

One For The Foxes ~ An Evening Of High Energy Traditional & Original Irish Music Coming To Estes Park Monday, October 7th, 6 to 9 p.m.

FREE! Greg Miles & Erika Metzler (m&m productions) along with Nick Smith of Lumpy Ridge Brewing Company are so happy to bring another astounding music experience to Estes Park, this Monday evening, October 7th from 6 to 9 p.m. at Lumpy Ridge Brewing Company.

Greg & Erika stumbled upon the trio last Sunday at the Gold Hill Inn and were so taken by the incredible talent & heartfelt musicianship of the trio that they wanted to bring them to Estes Park for the rest of you to discover & enjoy.

The show is last minute—the band starts journeying home on Tuesday.

Dave Curley, Tadhg Ó Meachair & Joanna Hyde form an exciting and dynamic transatlantic trio that presents a rousing blend of Irish and American folk music, having already won over audiences on both sides of the ocean. The group is made up of Dublin's Tadhg Ó Meachair (Goitse), Galway's Dave Curley (SLIDE) and Denver, Colorado's Joanna Hyde (The Hydes), and features a mix of Irish and American folk music and song – both traditional and newlycomposed – presented in an energetic and engaging manner. Their performances strike a tasteful balance between the stories found in ballads across both sides of the Atlantic and the respective instrumental music traditions of these places. Award-winning instrumentalists

each in their own right, Dave, Tadhg & Joanna take a unique twist on the diverse strengths of their individual backgrounds, weaving between traditional melodies, their own compositions, and songs from the broader folk canon.

Through a shared deep-rooted passion for Irish traditional music, this trio highlights the vital role of Irish traditional music as an origin of many American folk musics, and explores how those styles can interact with one another in a manner both eclectic and grounded.

Catch the dynamic trio for this one night only performance before they head back to Ireland. The music is being provided by Lumpy Ridge Brewing Company~it’s free to the public, so plan to drop in for a pint, along with delicious fare from Roaming Rations. Liesl is serving a variety of British Isles foods~Scotch Eggs, Shepherd’s Pie, Irish poutine~fries, Irish aged cheddar, brisket, Thurman’s Stout gravy and Bangers & Mash ~elk bratwurst, mustardy mashed potatoes & a delicious onion gravy.

Special thanks to Jason & Joann Miller at Rustic Acre for providing superior lodging, and to Gary & Kris Hazelton at EPNews for always helping to get the word out.

We hope to see a great, welcoming crowd on Monday evening at Lumpy Ridge Brewing Company!

A dear friend passed away a couple of years ago. His wife was recently going through some of his favorite papers and came across the following list of things that “I really need to know‌â€? In the tradition of another list, “All I ever needed to know I learned in Kindergartenâ€?, it has suggestions for life worth pondering. I think you will agree with this anonymous author. • Plan ahead. If wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark. • Stay fit. When you’re 600 years old, someone might ask you to do something great. • Don’t listen to critics. Do what has to be done. • Build on higher ground. • For safety’s sake, travel in pairs. • Two heads are better than one. • Speed isn’t always an advantage. Cheetahs were on board, but so were snails. • If you can’t fight or flee‌float. • Take care of your animals as if they were the last ones on earth. • Don’t forget that we are all in the same boat. • Stay below the deck during the storm • Remember that amateurs built the ark and the Titanic was built by professionals. • If you have to start over, have a friend by your side. • Remember the woodpeckers inside are often a bigger threat than the storm outside. • Don’t miss the boat. • No matter how bleak it looks, there’s always a rainbow on the other side.

As I read this list there are several of the messages that I think are especially important to remember. The first one, of course, is so crucial. ‘Planning ahead’ is so vital to the accomplishment of any goal. So many of us operate on the basis of ‘spontaneous’ decisions. As a result, these tasks that are so poorly thought out, usually end in some kind of disaster.

The second one that stands out to me is the avoid being governed by critics. Any truly great project usually meets with stringent opposition and criticism.

When we ponder the life of Christ and the many good deeds that He did we can’t keep from noticing the religious leaders and others that dogged His trail, continually finding fault. I heard recently of a baseball umpire that got tired of heckling and abuse from the father of one of the young players. He walked over and handed his mask and whistle to the surprised father and said, “You don’t like the way I do it. You do it.� The father immediately declined, shut his mouth and peace finally came. This also needs to be considered when we badmouth our politicians and others who tackle things we never would.

Thirdly, we can learn much about the value of ‘traveling in pairs’ and ‘having two heads involved’ and ‘having a friend by our side’ in planning and efforts. Solomon reminded us long ago that ‘two are better than one’ and we see that in the thinking and interaction of a loving husband and wife, as they make decisions for their family and in a national policy-making group like our federal government. Perhaps in so doing, we will make decisions that bless all.

Now, you pick out and amplify your favorites from the list above. Feel free to visit with me at McDonald’s or on my cell phone and share your thoughts. (720-5306446 Bob Lewis

One local vendor who is returning for the fifth year is a new member of Chapter IY, Lorraine Atterbury, a former Frontier Airlines flight attendant. “It has always been my vision to help women feel beautiful. I never knew how I could accomplish this goal,” says Atterbury. “Then, in 2013 when the floods hit Estes Park, the road to my home was washed away. I was not able to get back for two weeks due to the road closures. During that time I met a wonderful lady who taught me how to do basic glass work. I knew this was my calling and how it would accomplish my vision. The glass was so beautiful and I was so excited to start making jewelry that women would enjoy.

It has been a pleasure to have return customers over the past few years, and I enjoy seeing them wear my jewelry.

I do not have a background or history in art, so I always tell others to never say never. I think we all have talent within us. I am so grateful this has come into my life. I create each piece of jewelry designed to bring out the beauty in all of us.” Come to Treasure Ta-

bles and see, admire and purchase Lorraine’s and the other artisans’ beautiful crafts. Everyone has a story. It will allow P.E.O. to help other women achieve and be able to use their talents.

Mark your calendar now for this fabulous one-day sales extravaganza: Saturday, October 12th from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Pavilion in Stanley Park Fairgrounds.

P.E.O. Chapter IY greatly appreciates your support. Follow us on Facebook @TreasureTables to view some of the beautiful items that will be for sale.

You’ll find the perfect handcrafted gift for yourself or others. Co-chair Suzanne Miller says, “Look for Treasure Tables posters around town and invite your friends and family to come with you. It’s a great pre-Christmas buying opportunity for everyone.”

The Wandering Wildlife Society Thanks You! On Monday night, September 23, the Estes Valley Watershed Coalition held an inauguration of its new Wandering Wildlife Society. Thanks to the support from the Hazeltons at Estes Park News and the Ridgeline Hotel, the event was a huge success with our numbers exceeding capacity. The Ridgeline sprang into action, bringing additional chairs, accommodating everyone. Thank you, Ridgeline!

With drinks and hors d’oeuvres in hand, attendees visited with those in our

Wildlife Network: Ann Schonlau of the Bear Task Force, Scott Rashid of the Colorado Avian Research and Rehabilitation Institute, Kathleen Spencer of Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, Nick Mollé of Nick Molle Productions, Chase Rylands of Colorado Parks & Wildlife, and Kenzie Schmitt of the Estes Valley Land Trust. Each brought fascinating artifacts and information about species or interests they represent.

Three speakers highlighted the

evening. Nick Molle, Emmy-nominated local filmmaker whose films appear on PBS, showed clips from his most recent film, “The Nature of the Beasts.” His empathy for wild ones and concern about human’s impact on them were woven throughout the film, making us realize that we as caretakers of the land must learn to leave a very light footprint--in the national park, and in our personal environments as well.

The other speakers echoed that message. Koren Nydick, Ecologist and Chief of Resource Stewardship with Rocky Mountain National Park, presented scientific data resulting from ongoing research in the park, from elk and moose migrations to beavers’ potential benefits to a healthy water table.

She showed historic photos of Frank Theis in bear costume with CPW District Wildlife Manhow vegeta-

tion is changing over time, and urged all of us to take heed, learn more and educate others. The environment is changing, and we humans continue to play a significant role in the unfolding drama.

Chase Rylands, District Wildlife Manager of Colorado Parks & Wildlife, taught us lessons about wildlife that we who live among them should know. Do not train bears to break into your cars or homes by leaving doors unlocked, especially when sweet smells may emanate.

Do not feed wild animals because they learn they don’t have to hunt but can rely instead on garbage and bird feeders--and kitchens.

Chase became one of us in the Wandering Wildlife Society when he became our “bear,” thanks to the WWS co-founder Frank Theis who loaned him his bear head. Frank is one of our two Board Members of the Estes Valley Watershed Coalition who greets participants in their critter suits. He was not alone, but was accompanied by his beaver friend and fellow board member, Jay Blackwood. Thank you to Mr. Beaver and Mr. Bear.

The Wandering Wildlife Society is off to a good start. To those who attended our fascinating inauguration, we thank you for joining us as caretakers of the wildlife habitat we all share. To those who may want to learn more, please join us for our monthly Wildlife Talks or visit our website at www.WanderingWildlifeSociety.org to learn more about how to join!

Congratulations to Sydney Lewelling, the Estes Park High School Student of the Week for October 4, 2019.

At EPHS, Sydney is on the mountain bike team, the girls soccer team and she is involved with the school plays and musicals. She maintains a 4.0 GPA and has earned her varsity letter in both mountain biking and soccer.

When Sydney is not at school she enjoys reading and playing with her cats.

Her favorite quote is “It takes nothing to join the crowd. It takes everything to stand alone” by Anonymous. She likes this quote because she said, “It reminds me to stand up and be myself, even if it is difficult.”

After high school, Sydney doesn’t have any definite plans yet, but she is thinking about going into the medical field.

St. Bart’s Prepares for Holiday Bazaar – Order Your Pasties Now! 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 “D” shape with a crimped edge.

Traditionally eaten by tin-miners in Cornwall, it is an easy hand-held sandwich. The women at St. Bartholomew’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.

Bartholomew’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. Half-pint chutney jars are also available for $7 a jar. If you would like regular pasties with chutney, the price is $26 and gluten-free pasties with chutney are $28. Please pay by cash or check. If you pay by check, please write your check out to St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church and write Pasties in the memo.

Order your pasties now because St. Bart’s sold-out last year! Also, mark your calendars for Saturday, November 23rd, for the annual Holiday Bazaar.

More information to follow.

The world has become more conscious of the prevalence of violent, weather initiated incidents (hurricanes, tornados, floods, fires) and the scientific relationship to global warming. We also have become more cognizant of the rise in the Earth’s temperature contributed by our disposal systems and by the all too consistent tendency to value convenience over ecological protection.

When I was a child, I was taught to shower after an ocean swim to rinse off the salt. Today – that ocean water contains plastic and is detrimental to the lives of sea creatures. In an attempt to curb the constant flow of plastic into our ocean water, most nations are banning the use of one time plastics. Various laws will eliminate (from various geographical locations) flimsy shopping bags, take-home boxes, disposable beverage cups, cutlery, Styrofoam coolers and egg cartons, straws, and, in some cases, nonrecyclable plastics of other types. (By no means the only example, the European Union’s action will result in packaging options offered by the many manufacturers.) As a part of meeting their Paris Accord pledges, countries around the globe are seeking to make a difference.

And then, there is the United States.

However – despite the hesitance of the USA to address the rising oceans, climate changes, and pollution, 10 states have stepped in and recognized the importance of improving our ecological presence and regaining our political position on the world stage. (Most of these, but not all, merely ban single use plastic bags but it’s a start.) Adversely, 17 states have passed legislation banning plastic bans by local municipalities, although eight of these have legislation pending to overturn these preemptions.

Fifteen towns in Colorado have attempted to ban some form of single use plastic. A majority of these have become law, but new attempts, among them Denver and Fort Collins, have failed due to the 1993 Colorado Preemption, Sec-

tion 7 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, 25-17-104: which reads, ”Local government preemption. No unit of local government shall require or prohibit the use or sale of specific types of plastic materials or products or restrict or mandate containers, packaging, or labeling for any consumer products.”

What can we do about this? Well, besides encouraging our Colorado State legislators to propose and pass a law limiting the single use plastics in the State (The above law does not apply to State politics.), we can stop using such products ourselves.

1) Estes water is phenomenal! Do not buy little bottles of water. Carry your own reusable cup.

2) Keep an assortment of reusable bags in your car. Return to your car if you forget them. Or carry out a few things by hand and tell the clerk before they fill a bag. And, if you must take a single use bag (plastic or paper) – keep it and reuse it.

3) Forego single use plastic baggies.

There are excellent silicone options. No, they are not inexpensive. However, they are dishwasher safe and, long term, cheaper than rebuying.

4) Buy some small terrycloth towels and quit continually repurchasing paper towels.

5) Buy a head of lettuce as opposed to that plastic bag – actually cheaper!

6) Buy hardware by box (paperboard) or by each – from the bins at the hardware store. That’s a “six-pack” of ideas, but I am sure you can find others. When you think of something unique, feel free to share it on the Facebook: Estes Recycles page.

The next LWV & Community Recycling Committee will be November 5th at 10:15 a.m. in the EV Library Wasson Room. The topic for the League of Women Voters October Program is “Tabor, Gallagher, and Proposition CC” at 10 a.m. on Oct. 23 at the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies.

Meet And Greet For Democratic Larimer County Commissioner Candidates In Estes Park On October 13

The Estes Valley Dems are hosting a meet-and-greet event for the Democratic Candidates for Larimer County Commissioner in Estes Park on Sunday, October 13, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Library’s Hondius Room. This meeting is open to the public and will include the Democratic candidates currently declared for Districts 2 and 3.

So far there are six candidates on the Democratic ticket for these Commissioner seats. For District 2 the candidates are Bill Wright and Deborah Shulman. Candidates for District 3 are Myles Baker, Kim Akeley-Charron, Jody Shadduck-McNally, and Karen Stockley.

Estes Park and the Estes Valley area are in District 3. However, all Larimer County Commissioners run “at-large” so all registered citizens of the County vote on all the Commissioner seats. Each candidate must live in the specific District they will represent.

We anticipate that each candidate will have time to introduce themselves, answer questions covering specific Commissioner topics, and then be available to speak more informally to audience members.

Please come meet your candidates for these very important County positions.

For more information, email the Democratic PCP Coordinator at DemsVHenry@yahoo.com.

Finding Common Ground: Next Steps In The Journey One year ago, we invited the Estes Valley to join together in a Conflict Resolution Month series of programs. This year, we get to add a new descriptor to that same invitation: “award-winning!”

That’s right: as you may now know, those 2018 local accomplishments have since been honored statewide by the Colorado Association of Libraries (CAL). Specifically, CAL recognized the Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership (EVRJP) for facilitating a model program of library collaboration, bringing meaningful and transformative opportunities to our community.

Long before the award was announced, you’d already told us you wanted to build upon the insights and ideas that began last October. Good news: we scheduled five opportunities to come together in exploring those important questions. We ask: In a time when so much seems to divide us, is it still possible to find common ground? And if so, how?

The next program is this Monday, October 7, featuring a screening of the film “Risking Light” at 7 p.m. in the Town Board Room. What would you do if life circumstances brought you face-to-face with the individual who had destroyed your life? This documentary confronts that question by weaving together the stories of three people from different faiths and backgrounds who have somehow found a way to forgive the unforgivable.

Unable to attend? You can watch the DVD from the Library’s collection. This 2018 film is unrated by the MPAA. Knowing this is the kind of movie that viewers will want to talk about, we’ll host

a follow-up conversation on Thursday, October 24 at 10 a. m., facilitated by EVRJP. Register for the movie screening and/or the discussion at estesvalleylibrary.org.

From a powerful movie to a powerful book: on Tuesday, October 15 at 10 a.m., we’ll be discussing “The Gift of our Wounds.” The book recounts the unlikely friendship between two men—one a Sikh and other a former White supremacist. Together, they embarked on a mission to fight hate.

Register now and you can pick up a copy of the book to begin reading in advance. Thanks again to EVRJP for facilitating this important discussion.

This month’s finale program offers the robust experience of an all-day workshop, one that you’d otherwise have to drive to the valley for—but it’s right here in Estes Park. Save the date of Wednesday, October 30 for “When Cultures Meet”, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Susan Stewart, an instructor with Power and Systems, leads this upbeat workshop to demonstrate how to decrease tension, appreciate diverse perspectives, strengthen interactions, and create organizations and communities where commonalities and differences are both appreciated.

We are grateful to work with EVRJP on this year’s series, and we thank the Town of Estes Park for the Proclamation that made Conflict Resolution Month official. Moreover, we thank you for your participation, which is making our community stronger through deliberative civic conversations.

Singing To Fill The Food Bank The Crossroads Concert

Nancy Bell and Bob Gunn By: Doug Fox

It’s not every day you get a chance to hear great music while also feeding hungry people. That’s exactly what you can do when you attend a free concert benefiting Crossroads Ministry of Estes Park.

The concert is October 12th at 2:00 p.m. at Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, 1700 Brodie Ave. in Estes Park.

“We’re really like a public assistance office that’s not operated by a government entity,” explains Crossroads Executive Director Brian Schaffer. Crossroads’ biggest draw is the food pantry, but it also runs the Meals on Wheels program, provides financial assistance for rent, housing, utilities, medical bills, and prescriptions for those in need. “The average family relies on us for maybe six months. I think we’re kind of a stop gap to help them through a challenging season. ” The biggest need is cash.

“We raised about $5,000 last year,” says Crossroads Concert Producer Bob Gunn. “This is the fourth year we have done this and each year the amount raised gets a little larger. I hope that trend continues this year. The concert itself is totally free of charge, but people make donations during the intermission and upon entering or leaving the concert.”

The Crossroads Concert is “definitely is in our top five of financial funding events,” says Schaffer. The largest is a special evening of wine and hors d'oeuvres at the Dunraven Inn (coming up Oct. 27th). It raises about $50,000.

Music therapist Nancy Bell will be singing “Taylor the Latte Boy” and “All That Jazz.” Nancy is an extraordinary singing talent who also knows first-hand about what it takes to make a good latte.

She worked for a while as a barista at the Starbucks store in Estes Park.

"Taylor the Latte Boy" is a song about a customer at a coffee shop who fantasizes about the guy serving her a latte. "I think it's a feeling that many of us can relate to -- wanting to be noticed so much that

Christi Florence

reality gets distorted," explains Bell. "I really like the character. She's innocent.

It doesn't come from a place of ego. She really believes this barista is in love with her as she is in love with him."

Bell is a music therapist who plays guitar and sings to people from all age groups. "It's people in hospice, people at Harmony going through rehab for drug or alcohol addiction, or older adults with some form of dementia. Even those zero to five years old," says Bell. But she can see on a daily basis the power of music to communicate, especially for those suffering from dementia. "It engages people. Music starts and they are engaged and it shows they are present.

As a music therapist I get to see the best of people. And at Harmony people being willing to share and feel, and that's profound.

The musical "Chicago" presents her with a new challenge in the song "All that Jazz." "It's something totally different than what I've done before," says Bell. "That's important to me -- to do different types of music and not be known for just one style. It's just fun and it really has expanded me by forcing me to create my own choreography. It's something totally different for me, to be moving about while singing. I have so much more respect for those who do this for a living."

Bell and Bob Gunn also will team up for a duet on “From a Distance. ” The marvelously talented vocalist and actress Christy Florence will sing the very difficult aria “Queen of the Night” from Mozart’s “The Magic Flute. ” Christy has been featured in all of the past Crossroads concerts. "She has this fabulous soprano voice and we are delighted to have her back again this year to dazzle our audience once more," said Gunn. "Many may recall her starring role as Eliza Doolittle in the local production of 'My Fair Lady' a few years ago."

Also on the program are Scott Anderson and Melissa Westover who team up for a duet from the Broadway musical

Wicked. The Estes Valley Chamber Singers will perform four numbers: "Africa," "Let it Go," "You Raise Me Up,"

and "Be Still My Soul."

Other singers and musicians also are being lined up for the show -- more on that in future releases.

It promises to be an afternoon of beautiful music by some of the finest singers in the Estes Valley.

“When people give to a nonprofit to help provide services, not always do they receive something in return for their donation," says Crossroads Executive Director Brain Schaffer. "But through this benefit concert, people are coming to a high quality musical performance. And when they donate, they’re not only helping Crossroads, they’re also, in return, receiving something of value.”

Mark your calendar now for Oct. 12th at 2:00 p.m. at the Presbyterian church.

Special Movie Screening of “Risking Light” This Monday 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?” This Monday, the community is invited to a special onetime screening of the 2018 movie, “Risking Light,” which tells the remarkable stories of three individuals who have survived tremendous anguish on a pathway to unexpected compassion.

The screening will be held in the Estes Park Town Board Room this Monday, October 7 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to register in advance at estesvalleylibrary.org.

Is forgiveness possible after experiencing deep physical and emotional trauma? That’s the challenging question posed by “Risking Light” as it rotates among three stories from across the globe. As a child, Debra Hocking was taken from her biological family and placed in an abusive foster home. Later, she discovered this removal was part of an Australian government plan to eradicate Aboriginal Tasmanians. Kilong Ung

was enslaved by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia and has vivid memories of the hard labor he was forced to endure.

And Mary Johnson suffered the devastating loss of her only son, who was killed by a teenager named Oshea Israel.

“Risking Light” follows the path each person takes as they go through the healing process. Johnson, for instance, forms an unlikely bond with Israel, which helps her recover in unexpected ways, while Ung visits Cambodia with his family and confronts his anger. The movie was directed by Emmy-Award winning producer Dawn Mikkelson. The film is unrated by the MPAA. While there will not be a formal audience discussion after Monday’s screening, viewers are invited to attend a facilitated discussion about the movie on Thursday, October 24 from 10 a.m. to noon. Participants may register at 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.

Gordon Pedersen Gordon Pedersen passed away September 14, 2019 at his home, looking at Lake Estes and Longs Peak surrounded by his family after battling cancer.

A happy, casual celebration of his life will be held at his home on 2031 Mall Rd., Saturday October 5 from 1 until 4 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Mt. Calvary Church or The Estes Park Volunteer Fire Department in his honor, in care of Allnutt Funeral Service 1302 Graves Ave. Estes Park 80517, they helped him on numerous occasions!

Driver Safety-Just One Valid Reason To Vote No For Marijuana Dispensaries In Estes Park To The Editor: Now that we are nearing the end of the tourist season in Estes Park, we enjoy getting our roads back again from the heavy congestion. On one level the congestion on our roads from tourists makes us aware of how lucky we are to live in a beautiful mountain town that attracts millions of out-of-town visitors.

Like the bumper stickers say ‘”Estes Park. Just another ho hum day in paradise.” We have to be on the alert when visitors tend to stop in the middle of the highway to watch elk crossing the road as they snap pictures. Dealing with a lot of drivers whom we hope are alert is one thing, but dealing with impaired drivers whether from alcohol or marijuana is

more of a concern than ever.

Marijuana is the drug most often linked to drugged driving. Because driving is such a common activity, it’s easy to forget how you really must stay alert to stay safe. While it may seem like your body goes on automatic when accelerating or changing lanes, your brain is actually in high gear. Drugs and alcohol interfere with the brain’s ability to function properly.

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the main active ingredient in marijuana, affects areas of the brain that control your body’s movements, balance, coordination, memory, and judgment.-Center for Disease Control.

Photographer Captures Meditative, Surreal Experiences In Imagery

Kathy Banich lives on the edge of Roosevelt National Forest, sharing both time and space with the neighboring wildlife.

You’ll often find her there with her camera, silently watching birds, mammals, and insects around her. Photography has been her passion since childhood, she’s only made it her craft since 2014.

“That’s when I started to share and promote my images,” she said.

The self-taught photographer is one of 19 featured artists at The Old Gallery in Allenspark, a nonprofit center for community, the arts and visitors just 20 minutes south of Estes Park.

“I consider myself a lifelong student in the trade of photography,” she said. “I’m continuously inspired by others’ work and consequently find myself experimenting with various techniques and tools to continuously expand my knowledge and abilities as a photographer.”

She loves to be out in nature with her camera. “The respect, trust, patience and final reward of witnessing and photographing, thus archiving a second in time whereas the world is still and it’s just me and my subject is a meditative, surreal experience,” she said. “Photography is my method of immersing myself with Mother Nature and fueling my heartfelt appreciation for the beauty and wonderment around us—that we too often overlook in this crazy world we live in.”

Banich joined the roster of artists at The Old Gallery in May. “I’m so grateful for The Old Gallery,” she said. “It’s a gallery dedicated to community and local artists. From the moment anyone steps foot into The Old Gallery they will feel a sense of inclusion, acceptance and overall warmth,” she said. “I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to share my work there.”

Her work has also been displayed at Gilpin Arts in Central City, the Glass Tipi in Ward, the Dairy Arts in Boulder, Gilpin Library, Nederland Library, The Art House in Nederland and the Great Frame Up in Longmont.

“My fascination of nature and wildlife ignites my photographic passion,” she said. “The ability for a tree to emerge from a solid boulder; the nurturing, protective nature of mammals with their young; the air shows conducted by hummingbirds—I’m enamored in the study of comparative psychology.”

The Old Gallery is located at 14863 Hwy. 7 in Allenspark. It’s a 1940s log structure that received a $1.2 million renovation in 2015. Visitors and area residents enjoy concerts, classes, lectures, yoga and more there.
