Coming To Estes Park October 15-Jena Griswold, 2018 Secretary Of State Candidate Jena Griswold is returning to Estes Park, her hometown, to speak about her campaign for Colorado Secretary of State in the 2018 election. This event is on Sunday, October 15, from 4:005:30 p.m., in Room 202 of the Estes Park Town Hall. It is free and open to the public.

Jena grew up in Estes Park, is a lawyer and small business owner, and has been active in politics in Colorado and Washington D. C. She worked on voters’ rights matters in Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign, and served as D. C. liaison for Governor Hickenlooper to obtain federal recovery dollars for Colorado after the 2013 floods.

Jena is a registered candidate for Colorado Secretary of State for the 2018 election on the Democratic ticket. The Secretary of State serves a pivotal role in Colorado state governance by administering Colorado laws for voter registration, campaign finance, business and commercial statutes for profit and non-

profit businesses, secured transactions under the UCC, regulation of lobbyists and notary publics, plus laws regulating charities and fundraising.

As Secretary of State, Jena’s emphasis will include protecting Coloradans’ voting rights and voter privacy. This is especially important with the recent Department of Homeland Security disclosure that Colorado’s systems were targeted by hackers before the 2016 election. In addition, Jena plans to increase transparency for the public by “making it easier to see big money’s role in our elections.”

As a small business owner herself, Jena understands the importance of making the Secretary of State’s office “a

resource center for new businesses and entrepreneurs” in Colorado, while continuing to safeguard the public’s right to know.

Please come to meet Jena and hear about her vision for Colorado. Jena also will be available to answer questions from the audience. For more information on Jena, check her website at www.jenaforcolordo.com.

Room 202 is accessed through the back door of the Town Hall, next to the library parking lot. Doors open at 3:30 p.m. Elevator access available.

This event is sponsored by Estes Valley Indivisible, working to bring candidates to you.

Estes Park Veterans Monument Update!

What a great picture! Our construction sign and a front end loader beginning the work on the monument! We have most of the materials on site or on the way. It is exciting to see the pieces come together. The committee felt confident in the funds raised and the funds still coming in to authorize the work to begin. We are planning a dedication for the afternoon of November 11, Veterans Day, at 2:00. Please put that date and time on your calendar as we are looking forward to a meaningful time of reflection on the meaning of military service and what veterans of each generation have given to the country. Barring much

more snow, that date is very achievable and we will keep you posted as the date gets closer. Go take a look at the site and be a sidewalk superintendent to see if you can figure where the centerpiece eagle will be and the benches for peaceful reflection. The location is just west of the Estes Park Visitor Center. As we have been publishing, anyone who gives $1,000 or more will be honored on a bronze plaque to be placed at the monument. There is still time to participate!

Questions about donating? Call Gary Brown, 970-586-2021 chairman of the committee.

Communicate, Communicate, Communicate-Part 2 October is Conflict Resolution Month.

To better equip citizens in resolving conflict, Melissa Westover, Executive Director and Manager of Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership, will address different aspects of conflict and give helpful ideas and resources regarding conflict management through weekly articles during October. Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership offers two programs to assist citizens of the Estes Valley in conflict resolution. These programs are Restorative Community Mediation for low level disputes and Facilitated Conversations for groups and individuals looking to resolve conflict in a less formal setting. For more information regarding these programs contact Melissa at Mwestover@estes.org or 970-577-3829.

As mentioned last week, communication, though easily defined, is a complex topic. One reason is because each of us is unique in differing backgrounds, relationship history, culture, personalities, experiences, etc. In light of these various dynamics, each of us develops individual ways of perceiving information. We nat-

urally develop a filter that allows us to grasp and navigate the world around us.

These filters can serve us well and they can also take us off track.

We communicate even when we are not talking. If I’m at work, sitting at my computer furiously typing, I could be communicating that I’m busy working. If I’m on my cell phone, I could be communicating that I’m wasting time, being lazy, and not working.

These above mentioned perceptions may or may not be true, but most would make some assumption based on those perceptions, influenced by individual filters.

Henry Winkler (The Fonz, to us older folks) once said, “Assumptions are the termites of relationships. ” Henry is right on. If not properly managed, assumptions can and do erode relationships. In nearly every conflict negative assumptions are made about the other party.

These assumptions, whether accurate or not then become the filter we use to view our interactions with this party. We become self-protective, because we think

they have the ability to harm us and will if given the opportunity. Thus the assumption moves toward a belief or judgment. Once this move is made, it is not difficult to understand how assumptions progress toward those relationship eating termites.

Depending on the strength of the relationship, we can often find out right away if our assumptions are correct or not. We can do this by just asking for clarification. As an example, a supervisor might say to me, “I noticed that you’ve been on your cell phone quite a bit, is something going on that I can help with? ” Approaching the phone issue from this perspective allows for conversation without accusation, (based on an assumption) to take place. Conversely, though we cannot always control what others might assume about us, we can take actions that might mitigate assumption errors. I might say to my supervisor, “You’ll see me on my cell phone a lot today because my child is sick and I’m checking on her. ” When conflict is taking place it is difficult to step away from the emotions surrounding the situation, but if we can, we might save ourselves some pain, anguish and even embarrassment. If you don’t have the ability to do this, perhaps a friend or family member could help to gain some objectivity. It’s important to distinguish between what is factual and what is an assumption. An example of a fact: Landlord has not received rent for two months. An example of an assumption: The tenant is not paying their rent because they are not budgeting responsibly. Usually we come to conclusions like this based on partial facts that may or may not be related. In doing mediation work, I can attest that this happens all the time. What I can also tell you is that both parties gain clarity and nearly always learn something new through the communication process utilized in mediation.

As human beings, we are not going to stop assuming, so what might we do to keep ourselves in check? A couple of ideas have already been mentioned above; ask clarifying questions and work to distinguish between fact and assumption. The final and perhaps best practice is to assume the best. Another way to say this is to give folks the benefit of the doubt, until further information is provided. Believe it or not, most people are not out to get us, but sometimes they make mistakes. Sometimes they are afraid, sometimes they are having struggles no one knows about. A bad choice does not make someone a bad person. If that were the case, we would have nothing but bad people on this planet! Assuming the best saves us from negative emotional turmoil and allows us to keep an open mind to other possibilities. It also can save relationships from those pesky termites!

Next week we’ll continue addressing the topic of communication by discussing the silent but necessary side of communication: Listening.

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com Three years ago last month, the Flood of ‘13 severely damaged a little corner of paradise on the west end of Elkhorn Ave. called Mrs. Walsh’s Garden. At that time I served on the garden’s advisory board, along with landscape architect Joan Sapp and Merle Moore, current chairman of the Park’s Advisory Board. The garden has come back to life, and Merle uses this space today to tell us about it:

cultivation and utilized in landscaping, both in our Town and our personal gardens.

With the transfer of ownership to the town, maintenance of the garden has now come under the purview of the Town’s Division of Parks. Due to the garden’s specialized collection of native plants, a once-ac-

I wonder how many Estes Valley gardeners noticed the newspaper announcement and on-site celebration accompanying the Town’s recent acquiring of the property at 322 West Elkhorn Ave., known as Mrs. Walsh’s Garden.

Originally, the land purchased by Judy Lamy in 1996 was intended to become “a garden/park accessible to the public ” Eventually, the property was transferred from the Community Foundation Trust (the real estate receptacle of the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado) to the Town of Estes Park. This exchange brought with it a restrictive covenant that defines the future use of the garden. It states: “The Property shall only be used as a demonstration xeriscape garden for native plants that are indigenous to the Rocky Mountain region.”

Since the garden’s inception, day-to-day planting and maintenance have been the responsibility of Joan Sapp, local landscape designer and an experienced high altitude gardener. Under Joan’s care as Garden Manager, Mrs. Walsh’s Garden has developed into a local, easily accessible and invaluable resource for learning about our native plants. Perhaps even more importantly, Joan has demonstrated that native plants may be successfully brought under

tive advisory committee is being re-formed to assist the Parks Division staff with plant selection and development of appropriate cultural techniques. The advisory committee will also pursue educational opportunities that will encourage greater use of the garden.

Following three years of post-flood, severely reduced activity in the garden, I am very encouraged to see the immediate effects of the Parks Division’s improvement of pathways and re-activation of the waterfall/pond feature. I have no doubt the transfer of Mrs. Walsh’s Garden to the Town of Estes Park is a very positive step in building upon the legacy of Judy Lamy’s gift, enhancing the garden’s value to all who visit it.

The Community Foundation Trust will continue to be steward of the endowment fund that provides for development and maintenance of the garden in perpetuity.

Income from the endowment will insure the garden is well cared for and will allow for development of enhanced educational opportunities for residents of the Estes Valley and other visitors to the garden.

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com I am sad to report that there has been demise in my household. My Cuisinart food processor of 34 years has bitten the dust. I feel like that insurance commercial about the car named “Brad.” At first I thought the only thing broken was the lever on the bowl so I ordered a new bowl. Which I could only find on eBay as the manufacturer had discontinued that product. After 34 years I guess they didn’t think anyone still had that model! I was so happy when the new bowl arrived.

Upon trying to lock it in place, I found that the bowl was not the only thing at fault. The main base had a component broken off of its stand. Back to Google I went and just ordered a whole new Cuisinart. I figured that after thirty-three years it deserved to die. Same thing happened last year to my Maytag washer and dryer, dead after 30 years. Wish I could plan on my new things to last just half that time.

Cecelia had given me some lovely carrots from her garden so I was going to make carrot muffins. I have a wonderful grater for the processor that grated very, very fine. It did not come with the machine but you can buy it as an extra. (I hope it fits the new machine.) Luckily I had just finished grating the carrots when old “C” took its last grind and died.

When my new one arrives I will break into my happy dance just like the commercial. Bet there are some improvements since I bought mine.

3 eggs 1 1/2 cup sugar 2 tsp. vanilla ¾ cup vegetable oil 1 cup sour milk or buttermilk 1 cup flaked coconut 2 1/2-3 cups of finely shredded carrots, loosely packed 1 cup raisins soaked in rum or bourbon (soaking liquid is optional) On 8 oz. can pineapple chunks, drained and cut into smaller pieces In one bowl combine all wet ingredients.

In another bowl combine the dry ingredients. Mix the wet into the dry and fold in the raisins, coconut and carrots. Bake one hour or until done. Start checking in 50 minutes. Cool before frosting with cream cheese frosting.

Frosting 2 sticks of butter 8 oz. cream cheese, both at room temperature 1 tsp. vanilla ½ tsp almond flavoring 2 tbs. or more milk to thin 3 cups powdered sugar.

Cream the butter and cheese. Slowly add the sugar and flavoring. Thin with milk.

These get better the next day as all blends together. Some call for crushed pineapple but I like discovering bits and pieces.

Don’t Let The Holidays Wreck Your Weight & Health Sign Up for Healthy Cooking Classes at Salud and Jumpstart Your New Year’s Resolution to Get Healthy Interactive Program Teaches Participants About Foods to Kickstart Weight Loss and Health Salud Family Health Center, together with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a national nonprofit organization that promotes preventive medicine, particularly good nutrition, and supports higher standards in research, is offering a cooking course designed to help local residents lose weight and improve their health through proper diet and nutrition.

“Losing weight has never been easier,” says Susan Levin, M.S., R.D., the director of nutrition education for PCRM. “Participants can expect to lose a pound a week without counting calories. Many experience significant health benefits, including lowered cholesterol and blood pressure, elimination of chronic pain, and increased energy.”

The Rx for weight loss and health? It’s a low-fat vegetarian diet. Load up on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, Levin says; they’re naturally low in fat, chock-full of fiber, and filled with immune-boosting antioxidants and phytochemicals. These

All Invited To Thanksgiving Gathering Sitting in the window of a downtown Estes Park store is a proud pumpkin elegantly decorated with the words: “We gather to give thanks. ” This year, we are reminded that the Estes Park Thanksgiving Community Gathering is about just that. We come together to give thanks for this wonderful community of kind and caring people. We come together to give thanks for the beauty and majesty that surrounds us in the mountains and valleys of this town. We come together to give thanks for the peace and provision that has been graciously lavished upon us here in this place. We, indeed, gather to give thanks.

Last year, the 16th Annual Thanksgiving Community Gathering was a celebration of the best of Estes Park. Over 130 meals were delivered on that special day. A total of approximately 600 meals were served to our community by 80 volunteers in the gymnasium of Mountain View Bible Fellowship. The event is sprinkled with wonderful entertainment and a bake sale that is second-to-none.

Steve Misch and Larriane Darling, founders of TCG, said “It was an absolute amazing "gathering" this year thanks to all of the volunteers and guests. It was the smoothest, calmest and most successful Thanksgiving event

ever. We are humbled by the volunteers’ commitment, huge hearts and passion for service. We are grateful for all the folks who choose to celebrate Thanksgiving with us. ” To all of those who make this Community Gathering possible, we extend our sincerest appreciation. Please plan to join us as we look forward to number seventeen in 2017. The Thanksgiving Community Gathering (TCG) is now a 501(c) (3) charitable organization and all donations are tax deductible.

Families in need have been “adopted” by other families, businesses, churches, clubs and individuals for Christmas gifts. With the funds that are donated, we purchase food, cleaning supplies and personal care items for each family.

Bright Christmas values the many community partnerships that contribute to our program, including Plum Creek Shoe stores, Estes Park Center (YMCA of the Rockies), and the Estes Park 18 Hole Golf Course staff and facilities.

This is an anonymous program and only your children’s first names will be known to the sponsors.

All applicants will be required to submit qualifying documents to be considered for eligibility for the program.

Please be prepared to provide us with copies of 1. Residency- a utility bill with your name and local address on it or lease/rental agreement copy 2. Income verification- for all employed members of the household 3. Current personal identification If you are interested in “adopting” a family with children for Christmas gifts, please call us. We will gladly match you up with a family that need help with a brighter Christmas. Please contact Jean Austin at 970-635-3302 or Nancy Gregg at 970-481-4390 or send an email to brightchristmas.ep@gmail.com to become a sponsor and for more information.

If you would like to donate a new gift to be used for any child, please drop it off at either Master Graphics or MedX.

Learn To Tie Flies At “Bugs And Whiskey” With Alpine Anglers As the snow begins to fly and the winter winds pick up, join Alpine Anglers for an evening of fly tying, instruction, camaraderie, and local cocktails at “Bugs and Whiskey.” On Wednesday, October 18th at 6:30 p.m., the Alpine Anglers Chapter of Trout Unlimited will be hosting local fly-fishing guide, rod builder, and fly tier Frank Drummond at Elkins Distilling Co. Frank will demonstrate how to tie four unique effective flies for Colorado trout fishing: the I.O.B.O. (ItOughta-Be-Outlawed), ½ I.O.B.O. (a Frank Drummond Original), Dale’s Midge Larva, and the Flip Flop Ant. Frank identified these flies based on

their success at catching trout in and around Estes Park.

Winter is a great time to refill your fly-boxes lightened by a summer of fishing, so whether you are a first-time tier or experienced at the vice, this event is for you.

All materials will be provided for participants, including vises. If you have your own vise, feel free to bring it along!

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from a local expert tier to develop and hone your tying skills for the winter

months. If the event alone is not enough, Elkins Distilling will be serving delicious local cocktails.

Trout Unlimited is a national nonprofit committed to protecting cold water fisheries. On the local level, projects are managed by smaller chapters, like Alpine Anglers, comprised entirely of volunteers dedicated to protecting the watersheds and fish habitats in their area. To learn more about Alpine Anglers and Trout Unlimited, visit alpineanglers.tu.org, find us on Facebook, or contact alpineanglers.tu@gmail.com.

Work Begins On Alluvial Fan Trail In Rocky Mountain National Park Construction is beginning on a new accessible pedestrian trail in the Alluvial Fan area between the existing east and west parking lots with a new bridge across the Roaring River. The construction is expected to last through next fall.

While construction is taking place, there will be closures in the sections where the park’s trail crew is working. The crew will first complete the trail leading from the east parking lot to the bridge crossing.

Then, the crew will complete the trail from the west parking lot to the bridge crossing. Finally, the crew will complete the bridge connecting the two trail sections. Areas of the trail will close or open according to this project schedule. Some parking spaces will be closed in the Alluvial Fan east or west parking lots, when needed for the staging of equipment and

supplies.

The Alluvial Fan was created as a result of the Lawn Lake Dam break and major flood in 1982. In 1985, an asphalt trail and pedestrian bridge was built in the Alluvial Fan because it had become a popular visitor attraction. A major flood event in 2013 destroyed the bridge and trail.

The project is being funded by $200,000 in federal funds as part of the Centennial Challenge program and is being matched by $200,000 from the Rocky Mountain Conservancy (RMC), the park’s nonprofit partner, who will also provide in-kind services from the RMC – Conservation Corps.

For more information about Rocky Mountain National Park please visit www.nps.gov/romo or call the park’s Information Office at (970) 586-1206.

The Estes Park Patriots for Peace would like to thank Mayor Todd Jirsa, and the Town Council for joining us in proclaiming the International Day of Peace at our last meeting, 20 September. We are also sincerely thankful that Mayor Pro Tem Wendy Koenig attended the meeting in person to read the proclamation. The Proclamation invites people to celebrate the International Peace Day “in whatever way is meaningful to them, including the Global Feast for Peace, a moment of silence at twelve noon, ringing of bells, planting of Peace Poles, service to others, engaging youth in peacebuilding, and other peace education events.”

Our group also exuberantly joined Steve Kaplan and Shirl Lawrence—aka “Great Blue”— in performing and learning two peace songs with global themes. Chef Chaz Glaze provided the main course with an international flair at our buffet table, supplemented by many delicious dishes brought by our members. As part of the festivities, guests feasted in honor of the Global Feast of Peace, a concurrent world-wide event for some 3,500 organizations representing some fifty five million peace activists of all kinds.

The Estes Park Patriots for Peace is a transpartisan, inclusive organization whose mission includes promoting “a culture of peace” at all levels of society. Next month presents several opportunities for activists. The first will be instead of the regularly scheduled October meeting: we are looking to support the League of Women Voters Recycling Committee on Saturday, 21 October at their recycling event at the Community Church of the Rockies on Brody Avenue from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Visit recycleestes.org (and coordinator Judi Smith) for more specifics. We encourage our members to donate materials or volunteer time to this project. The second discussion opportunity will be at the Big Horn Restaurant at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, 27 October, featuring a conversation with one of the founders of our group, Mary Ellen Cuthbertson-Garrett. A third discussion opportunity exists in the Estes Valley Library’s One Book, One Valley program; issues around the topic of the immigration experience are part of our group’s focus on social justice, and this year’s book, The Distance Between Us, by Reyna Grande is a most timely selection.

So What Is Colorado Whiskey?

By: Howell Wright I really hope you were able to attend the first annual Whiskey Summit in Estes Park last Saturday. If you did not you missed a great party! There were between 150 and 200 examples of great Colorado (and New Mexico, Wyoming, Texas and Utah) distilled spirits available for tasting. Of course most of these were from Colorado and that had me addressing statements like “I had no idea Colorado made such outstanding whiskey.”

This was a great conversation starter and my response was that we have close to 80 craft distilleries in Colorado producing really great distilled spirits. Another question was “Can I find Colorado whiskeys in most Colorado liquor stores? The answer there was a cautious yes. There are a few sourced products whose labels lead you to believe that they are Colorado products when they actually are not.

Here is the bottom line: “If the label says it was distilled in Colorado you have a Colorado product. Caution, just because it has the word Colorado on the label does not tell the full story.

In one case, (I will let you search out the case in point) at your liquor store you see a bottle with the word, Colorado, on the bottle side panel, embossed so prominently that a blind person could read it as if it were in Braille. Next, in the same lettering, are the words “made with pure Rocky Mountain Water.” To really seal the deal, you see and feel the words “Elevation 5,675.” Being a world traveler, you immediately equate that altitude to Denver “the Mile-High City.”

All this seems pretty conclusive, and to top off your inspection you read “Bottled by WYZ Whiskey, Denver, Colorado.” You make your purchase, get home, and sit back to enjoy your fine example of Colorado whiskey. You nose the whiskey, get the big spice and fruit aroma-- apple with cinnamon and clove--then you take a tipple and taste the sweet grain, cinnamon spice and apple notes. Add a finish of cinnamon toast, raisins and soft caramel sweetness. It goes down well and you say, “These Colorado folks sure do know how to make a fine whiskey.”

I would say you have been bamboozled in a major way!

In this example, you failed to notice the fine print that explains that WYZ Whiskey actu-

ally is distilled and aged in Indiana. There is no way for you to know that it is shipped in bulk to Denver, where it is blended with a small amount of fine local single malt (about, 2%) and cut to 42% ABV with Rocky Mountain or, to be more precise, Denver water.

So, what is Colorado whiskey?

To over simplify whiskey making, you can divide the process into distillation and maturation (aging). Distillation cooks and distills three ingredients--grain(s), yeast and water-to produce a spirit. You can argue the importance of where the grain comes from and the source of yeast and water used; but my thinking is that if you distill in Colorado then it is a Colorado product. If it is distilled in Indiana it is an Indiana product. Some spirits are not matured and are called white dog, new make, or moonshine (the latter term should be used only for illegal spirits, but that is another discussion).

Maturation has its own set of scientific rules. Beyond how long the product is barrel aged, there is debate about barrel size and whether to use a new white oak barrel or one that has been used multiple times. Or even where on the tree the barrel staves are cut.

The geographic location of maturation also is an important aspect of a spirit’s final taste.

The barometric pressure, altitude, humidity and temperature affect the quantity and quality of the spirit. Where exactly the barrel is stored in the maturation building can affect the outcome.

Before purchasing your bottle of XYZ whiskey if you had looked closely you would have realized that XYZ, as fine a drinking whiskey as it may be, is not a Colorado whiskey. Adding a bit of true Colorado whiskey to the mix, cutting it with Colorado water, whether it be from a mountain stream or a municipal source, and bottling it in a Colorado town or city does not, in my humble opinion, make it a Colorado whiskey.

Your mission this next year is to search out true Colorado spirits and begin the adventure. Compare them with the big boys made in Kentucky, Tennessee, Scotland or Canada and I bet you will begin to realize that the new distilleries in Colorado have done their homework and are producing big time flavors.

See you along the whiskey trail and next year at the 2nd Annual Whiskey Summit.

Parkinson’s Support Group Meeting The next meeting of the Parkinson’s Disease Support Group will be held Tuesday, October 17 at the Estes Valley Library in the Hondius Room. Monthly meetings are always held on the third Tuesday of the month from 2-3:30 p.m.

WHERE’S YOUR ‘CHEERS’ PLACE? Many of us remember an old TV series entitled, ‘Cheers’. It was about a group of people who frequented a local bar to share each other’s lives and have a ‘cool one’. You can probably remember the ‘Cheers’ theme song. It contained real insight into the value of close relationships. It went like this: “Sometimes you wanna go where everyone knows your name and they’re always glad you came. You wanna go where you know that everyone’s problems are the same. You wanna go where everyone knows your name.” There is much wisdom in the words of this song. Mainly, all need a relationship place.

Solomon once wrote: “Two are better than one. For they will receive good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up the other, but woe to him who is alone when he falls and has no other to help. If two lie together they keep warm but how can one keep warm alone. And though one might prevail against another, two will withstand one. And a threefold cord is not easily broken.” Certainly this echoes what a song writer once touted that “People who need people are the luckiest people in the world.” Poet John Donne shared the same: “No man is an island, complete unto itself.”

We all need relationships with others. So my question to you is, “Where’s your ‘Cheers’ place?”

Many, of course, will find their ‘Cheers’ place where those in the TV series found theirs… the local bar. This has been helpful psychologically to many, we are told. It seems that once a person gets a ‘few under his / her belt’ they tend to ‘loosen up’ and share things that usually stay hidden from others. I’m told something similar happens in beauty salons, that hair dressers are excellent at eliciting personal secrets and struggles. Even more often are local coffee shops where people tend to congregate and share. McDonalds is one such place in Estes Park. We see groups of people that regularly get together, sharing their ideas and lives with others who are similar to themselves.

One of my sons is a policeman in the Denver area. He does a great deal of DUI enforcement patrolling, making numerous ‘stops’ when someone is driving erratically or showing signs of inebriation in other ways. Usually, during the ‘stop’, he will, if the person is found to have a high BAC, along with issuing the ticket, ask them if they have a ‘support system’ or ‘group’. When asked what he means, he will remind them that they deeply need a ‘group’ that helps them to deal with their ‘urge to drink to excess’. This often leads to a discussion of their need to get with a social group, like Alcoholics Anonymous’, or with a spiritual group, like a local church, so that they will have ‘support’ when they are about to ‘fall’ like the person described by Solomon. One thing that these two types of groups tend to provide, is places where: “Everyone knows your name, and they’re glad you came.

And they know that everyone’s problems are the same.”

This is true also, with many other types of ‘helping groups’. As a part of our local ‘Grief groups’, I know how much like a ‘Cheers’ situation they provide, and how much heIp they can be. I encourage you, whatever your situation is, to sure that you have a group like one of these described so that you will not feel, or be, ‘alone’. Remember, when creating the world, the one thing that God said ‘is not good’ in His creation work, was man without peer support. “It is not good for the man to be alone!” He said. It is no better today. Make sure that you search until you find that ‘Cheers’ environment for yourself. If you need help in doing so, be sure to ask for help. It is available.

(No class on November 24.) The cost for the sixweek series is $44 for members of Estes Park Senior Citizens Center, Inc. or $58 for non-members. There is a minimum of six participants required for the series.

Instructor Laurie Grace Wood describes tap dancing as having musical instruments on the bottom of your feet. In this series, students will learn the basics of tap dance and an entire dance full of Broadway-style tap choreography. According to Laurie, tap dancing helps develop leg, foot, and hip strength as well as

overall balance and posture. Tap dancing also promotes musicality, memory, self-expression, confidence, performance qualities, and huge amounts of joy! Students new to tap are welcome to wear tennis shoes or can purchase a pair of their own tap shoes.

Laurie will discuss and educate students on tap shoe options during the first class.

Laurie Grace Wood has been dancing since she was seven years old. She went on to train, perform, and become an entertainment dancer and choreographer for more than 18 years, working for Disney/ MGM Studios, SeaWorld, community theatres, universities, pageants, and corporations. She also completed degrees in Modern Dance and Business Administration at the University of South Florida.

Kirtan At Estes Park Yoga October 13

On Friday, October 13, 2017, Estes Park Yoga will be hosting kirtan from 6:308:00 p.m. This event is open to the public; donations will be accepted.

What is kirtan? The practice of kirtan comes to us through the same channel that brings us yoga: the ancient Vedic traditions that have been kept alive in India. Yoga is aimed at calming, strengthening and balancing the body, mind and spirit. Similarly, the practice of kirtan is designed to bring our mind, body and spirit into a unified and connected state

through chanting divine names accompanied by music. By joining with others in singing the names of the divine with simple melodies, our minds are brought to a calm, meditative state.

No experience is necessary to join this practice; musical experience or ability is not required. Rather, the community is invited to join with open minds and hearts in the hope that kirtan, or singing meditation, could be beneficial in creating peace and calm in our lives.

Estes Park Yoga is located at 145 East Elkhorn Ave, Suite 200, Estes Park, CO in downtown Estes Park. All are welcome to join and participate in the varied offerings that EPY provides to support individual and community health and wellness. http://www.estesparkyoga.com.

The Chamber Singers and all the other vocalists come on stage doing ‘Do You Hear the People Sing.’ It should provide a nice, dramatic ending for the show.�

It will be a concert featuring some of the finest singing talent in the valley. “Astonishing musical talent,� says Gunn. “Some of them are former professional musicians, but a lot of them are pure amateurs that just happen to be very talented and very disciplined about their approach to music. And I am very fortunate in that I have become friends with enough of them that I am able to talk them into doing this. And I don’t have to talk them into it. I don’t have to twist their arms because this is something they all believe in and they want to do.�

This is the second year Gunn has put together a Crossroads Concert. Last year’s effort was a success, he says. “Going into that concert I didn’t really know what to expect in the way of donations.

It is purely voluntary. We are not selling tickets. We will gladly accept donations and there will be an opportunity when you arrive and when you leave and during the intermission to make a donation.� Last year, the concert raised about $3,500 -- money for the hungry, homeless, and dead broke who look to Crossroads for a road back to normal.

Great Pets Need New Forever Homes

Vida is 11 months old. She is energetic and would make a great hiking or running partner. Vida can settle very nicely and does great with children and other dogs. She is a happy, friendly girl that needs a bit of manner work but she is smart and eager to learn. She is house trained and wants to meet everyone.

Kemah is three years old, she waited in Texas for a forever home for a long time and joined us here in Estes Park. She is deaf but she is hardly different than other dogs. She would do best with a dog buddy as she loves to play with other dogs and communication with a deaf dog is a bit easier when they follow along with a hearing dog. Kemah is not a high energy dog but does enjoy an active home without small children. She could be a great running partner or enjoy a yard to play in just as well. She is a little shy at first but will be an incredibly lovable friend.

Stop down to the Pet Lodge at the Animal Medical Center on Manford Avenue to meet any of these great pets or call 586-9282 for more information.

At the Animal Hospital of the Rockies this week there are two adorable kittens, Crosby and Stills. They are sweet little guys, with lots of energy and love to share, stop in and meet them.

Dr. C also has two budgies (parakeets) up for adoption, this pretty pair comes with a cage for just $25!

The Animal Hospital of the Rockies is located at 453 Pine River Lane or call (970) 586-4703 for more information about the kittens or the parakeets.

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.

For more information, contact Carolyn Fairbanks, President of the Pet Association at (970) 586-5121.

EVICS Art Gala Fundraising Efforts

Put on your “mountain formal� attire and come enjoy friends and wild, whimsical, unique pieces of art for your home or workplace, created by local children and area artists. An adult event, to support young children in Estes Park, guests will enjoy enhanced food favorites reminiscent of childhood, photos in the Wild Things photo booth to commemorate the evening, and adult beverages from Rock Cut and Lumpy Ridge breweries and Snowy Peaks Winery.

The 2nd Annual Art Gala supports the work of Estes Valley Investment in Childhood Success (EVICS). John Lynch, local woodcrafter and artist is rewarding event donors with a one of a kind gift. The first 50 guests of the evening, who purchase or donate $100 or more, will receive a beautifully handcrafted bird house ornament as a thank you.

There will also be a matching gift challenge! Several generous community members have combined resources to

create a $10,000 matching challenge. This means the first $10,000 donated will be matched, dollar for dollar, potentially resulting in a $20,000 donation to EVICS. All donations to EVICS stay in our community and provide direct support to families, young children, and critical early childhood services. EVICS provides childcare and preschool scholarships to families in need, resources and training to early childhood programs, and vital parent education through the accredited Parents as Teachers Program. Without support from EVICS many young families are not able to live, work, and raise young children in Estes Park.

This year, thanks to community support, EVICS celebrates providing over $200,000 in childcare scholarships since the program began in 2006.

The EVICS Art Gala will be held Friday, November 3, 5- 8 p.m. at Trout Haven Event Center, 810 Moraine Avenue! For more information, or to donate art, please contact EVICS at 970-586-3055 (www.evics.org), or email: cbangs@evics.org.

The Story Of Semilla At The Historic Park Theatre Jerry and Leonor Kennell invite interested members of the community to a free showing of Semillas de Paz (Seeds of Peace): The Story of Semilla Latin American Anabaptist Seminary. The event is set for 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, October 18 at the Historic Park Theatre. This 37minute film documents the founding and development of a Mennonite Seminary, based in Guatemala City, teaching peace, conflict resolution and community building to over 700 adult church and community leaders annually from nine

Music with titude al

Latin American countries. The Kennells and Nick Mollé, who directed and edited the film, will be available for questions and discussion at the end of the showing.

Written by Jerry Kennell, with interviews and translation by Leonor Kennell and the creative, cinematography and editing expertise of Nick Mollé Productions, the film documents a centuries long history of systemic resource extraction and oppression, resulting in a deeply

rooted culture of violence and poverty in Central America. At the height of violence in the 1980s, a group of Central American church leaders discover the peace and nonviolence position at the heart of Anabaptist theology. They decide to make it their own. The result is a vibrant institutional community that has impacted violence and fostered community health in remarkable ways.

Estes Park residents Jerry and Leonor Kennell began serving part-time as North American ambassadors for Semilla in October 2014. Since then, the Kennells have visited Guatemala, and other locations served by Semilla, seven times. They have led learning tours for North Americans and assisted with institutional planning, program development and public awareness.

In October 2016, a generous grant from Schowalter Foundation, Inc., Newton, Kansas provided funding for the creation of this documentary. In April of 2017, the Kennells, along with Nick Mollé, Sean Doherty and John Goerner, traveled to Guatemala to do the filming. Production and editing were completed in the studios of Nick Mollé Productions.

There is no admission charge for the event. Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase at the theatre. Cash contributions will be accepted to help with costs for services of the theatre. For more information, contact Jerry Kennell at (970) 217-6078 or by email to jstu1952@gmail.com.

Middle School Gourds And Games

One year ago, staff at Estes Park Middle School decided to put on a fall festival and invite the families of Middle School students to celebrate the season and beginning of the school year together. Held at the Middle School, the Gourds, Games, and Grub Family Gathering, was a rousing success. Over 300 people attended, and enjoyed food, crafts, games, and an overwhelmingly positive sense of

community. It was easily one of the most memorable events of the school year, and one that staff quickly decided to do again.

Estes Park Middle School is excited to announce the 2017 Gourds, Games, and Grub Fall Family Gathering. For the second year in a row, EPMS and The Hub are partnering to host an evening of fun and games.

Walking tacos, drinks, and dessert will be served, and activities will include: face painting, smashing pumpkins (zorb balls), cornhole in the cornhall, selfie station, balloon animals and more! Come join for an evening of fun!

“The Distance Between Us” Being Read

By EP High School Classes One Book One Valley: Voices from Estes Park High School. As part of this year’s One Book One Valley, hosted by the Estes Valley Library, author Reyna Grande will be visiting local high school students on Friday, October 13. This opportunity will help connect generations to the community conversation. Several classes at the Estes Park High School are reading “The Distance Between Us.” To help offer insights into the happenings at the high school, Levi Carpman, student in the school’s Publications class, has written this article.

By: Levi Carpman, student at Estes Park High School

The Distance Between Us is a memoir about the childhood of Reyna Grande, the events surrounding her family’s immigration from Mexico to the United States, and her journey toward earning a higher education and finding her love of books and writing.

Several classes at Estes Park High School are participating in the reading of the book, including one class who is reading it in Spanish.

“Many of our students are from Mexico, so they understand this journey, ” said English teacher Tracey Williams.

The curriculum through which the book is being taught is based on making connections to other events in the world and the lives of the students.

“After each chapter, they do worksheets and try not only to answer questions about certain characters in the book, but they also try and see how they can connect, even if they think there are no connections. ” said Williams.

On Monday, October 23rd, the library will be hosting an immigration simulation for the community. Registration for

“La distancia entre nosotros” Lectura para las clases de preparatoria Por Levi Carpman, estudiante de la escuela preparatoria de Estes Park

“La Distancia entre nosotros” es una historia sobre la infancia de Reyna Grande los acontecimientos que rodean la inmigración de su familia de México a los Estados Unidos, y su viaje hacia la obtención de una educación superior y encontrar su pasión por los libros y la escritura.

Varias clases de la escuela preparatoria de Estes Park están participando en la lectura del libro, incluyendo una clase que lo está leyendo en español.

“Muchos de nuestros estudiantes son de México, por lo que entienden este viaje”, dijo la maestra de Inglés Tracey Williams, quien está leyendo el libro con sus clases de ingles 3.

El currículo a través del cual se enseña en libro se basa en hacer conexiones con otros eventos en el mundo y las vidas de los estudiantes.

“Después de cada capítulo, hacen hojas de trabajo e intentan no sólo responder a preguntas sobre ciertos personajes del libro, sino que también intentan ver cómo pueden conectarse, incluso si creen que no hay conexiones", dijo Williams.

El lunes 23 de octubre a las 6 p.m., la biblioteca estará patrocinando una simulación de inmigrantes para la comunidad. Para inscribirse en uno de los eventos, o para encontrar más información acerca de los eventos, vaya al sitio web estesvalleylibrary.org.

Free Dictionaries For Third Graders

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com

Library’s Second Floor: Taking A Big Step Forward By: Mark Riffle, Technical Services Librarian

Recently, eighty Estes Park third graders joined in the halls of the Elementary School with their teachers and members of the Estes Park Kiwanis Club to receive their own dictionary.

The Kiwanis Club is honored to help out in this way knowing that deepening reading skills at this age is key to moving forward with overall learning success. Besides excellent 3rd grade level

word explanations, the dictionaries are full of interesting information, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, a short bio of each president, data on every country in the world and state in the US., data on the planets, and even the alphabet in braille and sign language. Special thanks goes to our Safeway store for providing a shiny red apple for each child to go along with their dictionary.

Beginning Sunday, the Estes Valley Library facility is going to become just a bit smaller, and just a bit cozier. Fortunately, it’s only temporary, and it paves a path for an exciting 2018 and beyond.

Following several years of gathering community feedback and planning for the future, the second floor renovation project is about to begin.

The Library’s second floor will be fully closed to the public beginning this Sunday, October 15. Renovations are planned to take two months, with the second floor re-opening in mid-December.

Good news: most second-floor services will be available on the first level. Public computer access, along with printing, document scanning, and photocopying, will temporarily move downstairs. Wi-fi access will remain available. And our friendly second floor staff will be available to assist.

A few services will be unavailable during the closure. Access to the small study rooms, as well as the Wasson Meeting Room, will be unavailable. The microfilm reader and the microfilms of historic newspapers will be unavailable.

The rare books case will also be inaccessible.

We know the closure poses a temporary strain, but we look forward to the many benefits when the construction is completed. And those improvements are many.

Our popular small study rooms will grow from the current two to four, offering additional space for student collaboration, tutoring sessions, Book-a-Librarian appointments, and for those needing a quiet place to focus or Skype for a job

interview.

As libraries become busier with activities, it’s important to create quiet places for reading, study and reflection. After renovations, the second floor will also have a comfortable and relaxing quiet area, complete with its own fireplace to enjoy.

A “maker space” room will debut upstairs in 2018—a place to nurture creativity and innovation. Arts and crafts are a primary emphasis--including those ‘lost skills’ that might not be available to learn anywhere else. A second priority is the use of tools—including technology, such as 3D printing and digital design.

On some days, it might just be the perfect place to sew or paint or build a puzzle. We’ll be seeking your creative ideas in the coming months.

The maker space, when not in use for library programs, will also serve as a much-needed third meeting room space that can be used by the public for clubs and organizations.

Finally, our computer and technology set-up will become much more adaptable to the needs of any given day. Computer classes, for instance, will no longer require the closure of the public computers as they currently do.

None of this would be possible without visionaries. We especially wish to thank the donors to the Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation, including several generous individuals who have made significant contributions to this project.

We look forward to celebrating them in 2018.

We’ll be raising some dust in the next couple months, but the benefits will be many. We look forward to keeping you posted on the progress along the way.

Dances Of Universal Peace You are invited to join us at Estes Park Yoga at 4:00 p.m. Saturday, October 21st for The Estes Park Dances of Universal Peace which will be led by Jyoti, accompanied by guitarist, Yusuf from Columbus, Ohio and Deborah on drums. Our opening dance, “We Circle Around” will help us center our thoughts in a receptive state of being. Later, a guest leader and friend, Svetlana will lead the exuber-

ant dance, “Haida.” We will also be welcoming guest dancers attending a workshop that weekend with teacher, Kendra Howard from Planet Motion Dance in Boulder. November 18th, and December 16th are the scheduled dances for the rest of the year. Estes Park Yoga, Park Place Mall 2nd floor, 145 E. Elkhorn Ave. Estes Park Colorado.

Estes Park Educators Encourage “Yes” Vote To Lessen Teacher Turnover The Estes Park School District faces funding challenges. A major result of these funding challenges is teacher turnover—among the highest in the state. We have great teachers and want to keep them.

With state funding limited, the opportunity falls to the citizens of Estes Park to provide the resources that will help all of our students reach their potential. The leaders of the Estes Part Education Association, the group representing the great educators in Estes Park Schools, are backing (3A), the mill levy override to

support our public schools and students.

We understand that we are asking more of district taxpayers, but we know the benefits of adequately resourcing our schools with quality staff. We see the harm done when great teachers leave our district and students for better-paying positions in other districts.

We believe the voters of Estes Park share our vision: our community…our schools…our kids…our responsibility.

Please Vote YES on (3A) Estes Park Education Association: So every student thrives!

Traits Of A Great Board To The Editor: Great Boards are strategic versus tactical. They teach, coach, and mentor versus manage. Their role is macro versus micro, focused on strategic direction versus being task masters. They formulate policy versus work procedures. They provide leadership to the CEO and Leadership Team through listening, dialoguing, collaborating, and identifying resources, while being grounded with strategic outcomes as their North Star.

They empower great organizations to do great work!

Great Boards work to develop the leadership to achieve strategic objectives.

They represent the view of the stakeholders, in the case of the Estes Park Medical Center, our staff, community, and networks. They select the CEO and measure performance, with the responsibility to recognize, reward or correct. Finally, they provide oversight in decision-making and accountability. The Board is ultimately responsible. Those are some of the traits of a Great Board.

For 26 years, I have supported development of cultures, organizations, leadership, and board capacity in a field called Organizational Development. The Interim Board selected in May 2017 by the Larimer County Commissioners has the potential to be a Great Board, but will soon reorganize as the interim period closes. Batey, Dickeson, Miller, Muno, and Pinkham have experienced an exhilarating learning curve, and applied the traits described above with respect, collaboration, and constructive decisionmaking.

Dr. Bob Dickeson and I were charged, with the Strategic Planning Committee, to create a strategic direction, a badly needed North Star for EPMC. We are in a

very pivotal moment with publicly held hospitals being acquired, significant competition among medical services along the Front Range, federal programs mired in political drama, a community with 6500 residents and 4.5 million visitors, and a promising futuristic wellness concept that has the potential to be transformational for the Estes Valley.

Given these dynamics, EPMC has contracted with experts to objectively assess service lines, markets, financials, and government policy, as well as to create scenarios, staffing and capital plans, and pro forma financials. In 2018, with facts and scenarios in hand, the Board and Leadership Team will engage community stakeholders to create a long-term Vision, Mission, Strategic Plan, and Values for EPMC. Leaders realize there are opportunities in the midst of chaos. We must strategically seize the moment to ensure EPMC provides the public with safe, high quality services of value, interdependence with strategic relationships, and longterm sustainability for the good of our community. Great Boards are guided by Great Strategic Plans that serve the stakeholders.

We encourage all to vote in the November 7th election. We also ask for your support to elect an aspiring Great Board with broad competencies and passion to do well for the people of the Estes Valley, and who will support the leadership and dedicated staff of EPMC. Please vote for Batey, Begley, Miller, Muno, and Pinkham. We invite you to join us at our next Board Meeting on Tuesday, October 31st from 1-5 p.m.

Thank you, Monty G. Miller, EdD, MBA Treasurer, EPMC Interim Board

Barbara Foiles Barbara was born in 1927 in Highland Park, IL. She became an avid hiker after spending childhood summers at her family cabin adjacent to Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. At 16 she enjoyed climbing Longs Peak using the cable route.

Her love of the mountains drew her to CU in Boulder where she met her husband, Les, of 70 years and earned a combined degree in chemistry, zoology, mathematics and German in 1949. She and Les married in 1947 and moved to Downers Grove, IL where they raised three daughters and a myriad of cats and dogs. She baked bread weekly, sewed the girls clothes, was an accomplished knitter, loved being involved in Girl Scouts, sang in the church choir, became a lifelong birder, was passionate about her rose and flower gardens, and read close to a book a day.

Every summer she and Les packed the girls in their car and traveled the 1,000 hot miles through Iowa and Nebraska back to her beloved cabin and hikes in the park. In 1969 Barbara returned to school and earned her microbiology

degree. She worked and taught as a microbiologist at Hinsdale Hospital for many years until she retired. Soon after, she and Les moved permanently to Estes Park near the cabin.

Barb loved documenting her achievements. She became an ardent weaver, joined the Estes Weavers Guild, and hiked often, alone, and with the hikers club. She kept notebooks logging all the details of her weavings, investments and hikes. She and Les summited Longs Peak when they were 70 and Barb continued to hike into her 80s.

She is survived by her husband, Les, her three daughters, Pamela, Holly and Kim, her seven grandchildren, her brother Jim and sister Pat. She was predeceased by her sister Connie. A memorial service will be held in her honor at the Community Church of the Rockies Friday October 20th at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Rocky Mountain Conservancy in care of Allnutt Funeral Service 1302 Graves Avenue Estes Park, CO 80517. Please visit www.allnutt.com to leave a message for Les and the family.

While at Colorado University he joined the Air Force R.O.T.C. and proudly went on to serve his country in the Air Force as a commissioned officer spending two years at Pusan, Korea attaining the rank of Captain before being honorably discharged from active duty at Floyd Bennett Air Base in Brooklyn, New York.

Mr. Schroeder then returned to Kirkwood, MO and became the Creative Director of the Men's and Children's Division of Brown Shoe Company and also taught High School Business and Advertising in the Kirkwood and Lindbergh School Districts.

He later moved from Kirkwood to Ste. Genevieve, MO to enjoy the beauty, culture, and history of the "oldest city West of the Mississippi" and there he purchased a home overlooking the Mississippi River and the town of Ste. Genevieve. In that same year he pur-

chased a mountain home in Estes Park, Colorado where he was residing at the time of his passing.

He enjoyed travelling and did so extensively throughout the world. His favorite place to visit was the Island of Kauai, in the Hawaiian Islands, where he spent four months each summer over a period of five years.
