Philanthropy Award Winners Announced November 15 The Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center (EPNRC) is planning Estes Park’s National Philanthropy Day event November 15th, 4-7 p.m. The Assembly Hall at the YMCA of the Rockies fills to capacity at 400 and the event fills. So...who goes and why?

This is a thank you party, a time to recognize all the philanthropic work put forth in our community. The event brings together volunteers, donors and staff for nonprofits, Give Back businesses, and government and service organizations.

These various sectors and diverse ways of giving are the healthy ecosystem of giving in our community. (This will be represented at the event by a Forest of Philanthropy. Think...highly creative team with chainsaws and glue guns.)

There is no solicitation to contribute time, expertise, or money. Everyone already has!

There is a cocktail hour from 4-5 p.m. (libations graciously supplied by Snowy Peaks Winery and Rock Cut Brewing) when people mix, mingle, and wander around to learn more about the work that is being done by roughly 50 nonprofit and service organizations repre-

sented at the event (there are about 150 in this town!). Then, everyone sits for a brief program and the awards ceremony.

Community members representing all walks of life have been nominated for four awards: Katie Speer Philanthropist of the Year, Business Philanthropist of the Year, Youth Philanthropist of the Year, and Enduring Service Award.

“It is remarkable to see all the people who care so deeply about this community. We have been a couple times; people are generally amazed at the level of generosity in the room.” Robin Harding, Estes Valley Land Trust (EVLT) Board President and EVLT Champion for the Leave a Legacy Campaign.

This annual event is held at the YMCA of the Rockies. They graciously donate staff time, everything from table clothes to twine wraps on the centerpieces, a giant space and craft supplies to foster the Forest of Philanthropy, amazing food for the whole house, innumerable behind the scene support mechanisms, and the space to help make this celebration happen. If you would like to attend this event, please do so! RSVP is required; the room (and the mood) is already half full. RSVP at www.epnonprofit.org.

Watershed Coalition Benefits From Donated Sunrise Rotary Raffle Tickets

Karen Monks and Dawn James accept the $5,000 check.

The Estes Valley Watershed Coalition (EVWC) kicked off its inaugural membership drive with a $5,000 check from the Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary (EVSR).

Karen Monks, Executive Director and Dawn James, EVWC Board President, gratefully received the check from Mike Louk, Sunrise Rotary President-Elect, on Tuesday, October 23.

As part of its weekend Autumn Gold Festival, the Sunrise Rotary held its annual raffle on Sunday, September 23, in Bond Park. Karen was extremely surprised and pleased when the winning ticket was drawn and emcee Gary Brown announced that the Watershed Coalition had won! That morning a supporter had donated twenty raffle tickets to EVWC. The Watershed Coalition’s future is focused on three fronts: thinning damaged and overgrown forests to protect water quality from forest fire ash; additional waterway restorations; and maintaining completed restorations. Maintenance includes monitoring, weeding, protecting new vegetation, and replanting as needed.

By joining the Watershed Coalition, you become an environmental steward of the Estes Valley. Your donation will sustain EVWC and fund its projects to

limit damage by future floods and forest fires. Memberships range from $25 to $1,000. Benefits include newsletters, educational and social events, volunteer opportunities, and more. Visit www.EVWatershed.org/donate.html.

The Estes Valley Watershed Coalition, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit formed in the aftermath of the devastating 2013 flood, restored fourteen highly-damaged areas along Fish Creek, the upper Big Thompson River, and Fall River. The goal was to make those areas resilient to future floods in a natural way. An example is the beaver dam analog system along Fish Creek on the Cheley Camp property. Soon after the pseudo-dams were built, the beavers moved in and continued construction. This dam array will be a buffer zone in future floods.

The Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary donates to worthy nonprofits in the Estes Valley. EVSR’s primary fundraisers are the Estes Park Labor Day Arts and Crafts Show and Autumn Gold—A Festival of Beer, Brats, and Bands. Both events are held in Bond Park every September. http://portal.clubrunner.ca/5242

Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership Hosts “Better Together” Dinner Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership (EVRJP) will be hosting its annual Better Together Dinner on November 18, 2018 at Mama Roses Restaurant located at 338 E. Elkhorn Ave., beginning at 5:30 p.m. Attendees will be treated to wonderful cuisine and have the opportunity to learn more about Restorative Justice.

This year’s theme will highlight a few partnerships EVRJP has formed with other organizations to promote restorative practices and restorative principles throughout the community. The meal is offered free of charge to attendees and contributions to EVRJP will be accepted. EVRJP is grateful for the continued generosity of Rob and Julie Pieper in providing this meal. To RSVP, call Melissa Westover at 970-577-3829 or email at mwestover@estes.org. Seating is limited.

EVRJP was founded in 2002 to offer an alternative for youth who find themselves in the criminal justice system. In lieu of a court sentence, offenders who are willing to accept responsibility, are offered the opportunity to repair the harm their actions caused by completing a contract formulated in a Community Group Conference. Conference attendees include, the offender, parents, victim, involved officer, community members and EVRJP volunteer facilitators. If the offender completes the contract, no criminal conviction will appear on their record. Since 2006 adult offenders have also been accepted to participate in this process.

In 2006 EVRJP began offering the Community Circles program. This program provides support and accountabil-

ity for people re-entering the community following incarceration. The one-year program provides structure in addressing common struggles formally incarcerated people face.

In 2014 EVRJP and the Estes Park School District began partnering to provide more proactive programming for students grades 4-12.

Girls Circle and Boys Council are curriculum-based programs offer opportunities for students to build resilience, and grow in developing and maintaining relationships. Additionally, Student Support and Accountability Circles offer high school students who may benefit from additional assistance, helping them to become successful in school and out.

Also, in 2014 EVRJP launched conflict resolution programming, beginning with Restorative Community Mediation.

Mediation is a process that allows two parties to come to an agreement to resolve a dispute. The process is conducted by two neutral volunteer mediators. Also offered is Facilitated Conversation, which is a process best used with groups of people to either head off conflict or engage in conflict resolution. This process is also conducted by two neutral volunteer facilitators. EVRJP also provides one-on -one coaching for citizens to assist them in resolving their own conflicts.

EVRJP is able to offer services because of a unique partnership between the Estes Park Police Department and a 501c3 board. To learn more, go to www.estes.org/restorativejustice

Estes Park Salutes Veterans Each year we pause to honor our veterans for the service that they have given to our nation. Here in Estes Park, all are invited to join American Legion Post 119 and the Estes Park Veterans Monument Committee on Veterans Day, Sunday November 11, 2018 in a commemoration and expression of gratitude to our nation’s Veterans.

Start the day with a hearty breakfast at Post 119, from 7-10:30 a.m. on the corner of Highways 36 and 7 in Estes Park.

With the exception of the World War II years, Post 119 has served a Veterans Day Breakfast every year since 1928.

That breakfast is free for all Veterans and only $5 for all others thanks to the generous donations from local businesses.

Breakfast will be cooked by Post 119’s Sons of the American Legion, and served by Cub Scout Pack 8 of Estes Park with assistance from the Post 119 Auxiliary. The menu includes scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, pancakes, toast and the SOS (hamburger gravy on toast) of military tradition.

At 2 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, a ceremony is planned at the Estes Park Veterans Monument just west of the Estes Park Visitor Center. Veterans from all branches of the Armed Forces, through times of war and times of peace, are forever honored through this site.

This year, the ceremony will include a

special tribute to John McCain, the American statesman, Vietnam Veteran, and former POW who died this past August.

Special recognition will be given to the 100th anniversary of the Armistice, i.e. the ending, of World War I. The program will be led by Daniel R. Scace (Retired Brig. Gen. United States Air Force/Connecticut Air National Guard), and will include a reading by Capt. Dick Life (US Navy retired) of In Flanders Fields, with a reflection on the symbolic role of poppies to commemorate our fallen soldiers.

The American Legion is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization that was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic Veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness.

Estes Park’s Post 119 was chartered in 1920 as the local branch of that national organization. Veterans and their family members are encouraged to join and support this worthy organization. The Estes Park Veterans Monument Committee is a group of volunteers who raised funds and directed the construction of the monument for its unveiling on November 11, 2017.

We hope that all of you will join us for the breakfast and the ceremony on Sunday November 11, 2018.

well as their bios.

Estes Park resident and Air Force retiree Dan Scace will discuss the “Band of Brothers” tour he and his wife Tami took in September and October, at the November 14th Estes Park Aviation Club Internationale meeting. The tour was led by the National WWII Museum in New Orleans and follows the path of “Easy” Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne from their training base in England all the way to the Eagle’s Nest on the German-Austrian border. Easy Company, aka the “Band of Brothers,” was portrayed in the 2001 American war drama miniseries “Band of Brothers” which is based on historian Stephen E. Ambrose's 1992 non-fiction book Band of Brothers.

The presentation includes pictures and memories of the tour along the path of these incredible soldiers. Dan and Tami

were moved deeply by the beaches of Normandy, visits to our American cemeteries in Normandy, The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, the tour of Dachau Concentration Camp, and the way grateful European nations

honor our veterans every day.

Dan is a 1972 graduate of the United States Air Force Academy and a command pilot with over 4,000 hours of fighter aircraft time in the F-4 Phantom II and the A-10 “Warthog.” The public is invited to the Aviation Club meeting, Wednesday, November 14th at 6:30 p.m. in the Estes Valley Library Hondius Room for this free program.

“Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Almost six decades ago I eagerly walked to cast my first vote, and was appalled that someone had posted placards for a candidate within 100 feet of my polling place. Why was this happening in America? Where were the police? That an individual would so brazenly violate the law was, for me, perfidious.

Voting was sacred! The memory still rankles.

Next Tuesday in villages, towns and cities across this country, from Maine to Hawaii, Alaska to Florida, millions of Americans will vote for individual candidates and various issues. Additional millions, like me, have already submitted ballots. The shape of the Senate, the House, numerous Governorships, countless state and local offices, rests, as it should, in the hands of the people. Will we see a red tide or a blue wave? Stand by.

Voting today is relatively painless. Use dark ink to fill in circles next to specific names and difficult-to-read paragraphs; fold the ballot, slip it into the privacy sleeve before inserting it into the official envelope; seal, sign and date it; drive to the drop-off location and complete your civic obligation. Easy peasy, and your single choice might determine a close electoral contest.

Yet consider how voting has evolved over the past 230 years. I recently finished Jill Lepore’s THESE TRUTHS, a 600-year sweep through American history. Lepore reminds readers that voting has been, well, complicated. Early in the Republic only propertied white men could vote; it has taken generations and many lives to obtain the franchise for ALL Americans. Sadly, some in power contrive impediments to voting, but too many people have struggled too long to secure the vote, which must be held inviolable and easily accessible for all. In my view the more people who vote, the stronger our Democracy can become, pursuing the greatest good for greatest number.

I believe in fairness, and don’t like it when soccer players feign injury; when self-centered drivers cut ahead instead of staying in line; or when people in power use “the insolence of office” (thank you, Mr. Shakespeare) to favor some while denying others access or opportunity. Life isn’t always fair, but it doesn’t need deliberate bending, stretching or breaking rules.

In our travels this year (24 states) Lizzie and I met many people across

America. Overwhelmingly they were happy, generous, engaged in building families, shaping careers, creating art, grateful to be seeking life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Like you and me, these people are descendants of native-born Indians, imported slaves, refugees and immigrants. Peremptorily closing borders to those seeking a better life denies ideals on which this country was founded.

Over two centuries the American experiment has weathered civil war, financial collapse and external threats; new arrivals have strengthened, not weakened, America.

Aspirations and ideals that have impelled me to vote since I turned twenty-one, and for which I continue to vote, include: a desire for fairness in elections and honesty from candidates; inclusion over tolerance; principle before profit; a welcoming spirit in our multicultural country, celebrating rich diversity; reduction of fear through diminished economic inequality; free early childhood education for all; better K-12 schools, with an emphasis on critical thinking; sensibly welcoming refugees (my great-great grandfather came from the West Coast of Ireland and encountered a “No Irish Need Apply” mentality) ; politicians who think more of the next generation than the next election; genuine equality of opportunity; less stridency in public discourse; extending the franchise as far as possible (all of us need to pull on the oars) ; human and civil rights elevated to sacrosanct status; a sense that we inhabit one planet, with commensurate environmental action to heal the planet (my children and yours deserve better than today’s apocalyptic predictions offer them). All this and more is possible through hard work and consent of the governed, using reflection and choice as governing principles (thank you, Mr. Hamilton) instead of accident and force. For what future will you vote?

History will appraise our choices in this election cycle. Will she find us wanting, or will she nod approvingly?

At the end of THESE TRUTHS Jill Lepore calls on us to reignite “the glowing fire of our ideals.” This begins with YOUR vote. Whether or not candidates and issues you prefer hold sway next Tuesday, two years from now the Presidential election offers another opportunity to vote your principles.

Quota Club’s AED Donation To Estes Park Police Dept. Saves Two Lives!

Here is some great news for your day!

Remember the AEDs the Estes Park Quota Club donated to the Estes Park Police Department earlier this year?

Thanks to funds from the club as well as many generous donors, Quota Club was able to equip each and every EPPD car with an Automatic Electronic Defibrillator! The EPPD reported to Quota this

week that there have been TWO lives saved by these AEDs in the past two weeks! Wow, what GREAT news, AEDs do save lives! Thank you, EPPD!

Current Volunteer Needs At Crossroads You may be surprised to learn that it takes about 80 volunteers per week to achieve our mission here at Crossroads Ministry – “to practice Christian love by providing basic human services for residents in need in the Estes Valley.”

We are so fortunate to have so many members of our community volunteer with us-but we always have a few needs, and here’s a list of most needed volunteer positions right now: • We have two openings for drivers to assist us with food collection from Safeway and Starbuck’s on Friday and Saturday mornings. This takes about an hour and can be done anytime between

6 a.m.-9 a.m.

• Meals On Wheels Route Driver-most drivers take one route that requires one day a week, for about an hour.

• Food Re-Packager-assists in re-packaging high quality prepared food into promptly frozen family sized heat and serve meals for the clients.

You can find details on these and other volunteer positions on our website crossroadsep.org. Please contact us by email or at 970-577-0610 if you’re interested in any of these volunteer opportunities – and we’d love to invite you out to tour our facility and talk about volunteering with Crossroads.

So, you need shorter wait times for surgery, a full-time surgeon with accreditation in sports medicine, and a full range of orthopedic services, including total joint replacement. Good thing we have Estes Park Health and people like Dr. Florence to help you go the distance.

Museum staff, Mikaela Fundaun, Scott Thompson, and the noon Rotary Club of Estes Park viewed the paver stone at a recent meeting.

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

Congratulations and thank you to the Rotary Club of Estes Park for purchasing a stone and actively supporting the Estes Park Museum Friends to build the much-needed Collections & Research Facility.

"Rotary was really excited to partner with the Museum on such a worthwhile and needed project. It was important to

support the community be it through Scholarships, Duck Race and through Community Grants given to worthwhile organizations like the Estes Park Museum. We look forward to continuing this partnership with the completion of the new Collections and Research Facility." - Scott Thompson If you are an organization, individual, or family and are interested in supporting this special project, please visit the following website to review the facility plans and download a paver order form: www.estesparkmuseumfriends.org/collections-and-research-building.

Storm Mountain Holiday Bazaar This Weekend

Our 10th Annual Storm Mountain Holiday Bazaar is rapidly approaching! We have a number of local artisans displaying beautiful handmade items that would make wonderful holiday gifts. We started the Storm Mountain Bazaar in 2008; a group of local crafters looking for an outlet for their products. Being in a rural area, marketing is more challenging than in a town. All of our items are hand crafted and good quality and you have the fun of talking to the crafters and learning about the process of creating the items. Most of the crafters also take special orders, so you can get exactly the colors/size/etc. that you want.

The wide variety of hand crafted items will include quilted, knit & crocheted items, jewelry, soaps, herbal salves & lo-

tions, pottery, painted glasses, felted wool mittens and clogs, antler and leather crafts, honey, decorations, wood switch plates and candle holders, cards, hand carved signs, pet items, decorated purses, steam punk lamps and more treasures!

Now that US 34 repairs are (mostly) done, we have moved our bazaar back to the first weekend in November; dates and times this year are Saturday Nov. 3, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Sunday Nov. 4 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Other than the year of the flood (no road) we’ve held the show every year. We are located in the Big Thompson Canyon Association Building, a fun historic log structure, at 1479 US Hwy. 34, 1 miles east of Drake. We hope to see lots of familiar faces stopping in; some people make this an annual event. Look for many fall and winter items as well as holiday items for Thanksgiving and Christmas items.

We will be hosting a bake sale this year with all proceeds benefiting our local volunteer fire dept. We are officially part of Loveland Fire Rescue Authority, Canyon Battalion but funds for additional equipment and other operational items are always welcome!

We try to make sure this is a fun community event, not just a shopping event.

Free cookies and cider, crafts people happy to share information, fun historic log building – and hopefully good weather!

If you have any questions please contact Deb Green at www.facebook.com/peacefulridge or deb@peacefulridge.com.

St. Bart’s Prepares For Holiday BazaarOrder Your Pasties Now!

annuAl

Christmas It is a long journey from Cornwall, England to Estes Park but the pasties (pass-tees) will be here soon! 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. Bart’s Episcopal Church are currently busy in the kitchen making pasties that are so delicious that you will want to savor every morsel.

Pre-order your pasties by calling the church office at 970-586-4504; the pasties are available now. Purchase and pickup can be arranged. Pasties are

sold in a package of six for $20.00 or six gluten-free for $22.00. However, the gluten-free pasties will not be available until after November 7th.

Checks (please make your checks out to ECW) or cash are accepted.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 17th, for the annual Holiday Bazaar from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church (880 Macgregor Ave.) where there will be a silent auction.

Then stick around for the luncheon from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. where you can enjoy these delectable imports from England for only $12.

‘YOU’VE GOT JELLY ON YOUR HANDS!’ I’ve always enjoyed the Peanuts comic strip, as well as the Peanuts-gang movies that Charles Schultz produced. One of the reasons for their popularity, I suspect, is that his characters are recognizable in people we deal with. One of my favorite strips depicts Linus in the kitchen, eating a jelly sandwich. As he finishes his sandwich, he notices, seemingly for the first time in his life, the hand that has been holding the sandwich. He becomes very impressed with that hand, so much so that he drops his security blanket and admires his other hand. He begins to imagine what these hands could do. He imagines that with these hands he could be great: the CEO of a large company, a great leader, an athlete, a surgeon, a great writer…even President.

Excited by his discovery and the potential he visualizes possible, he runs into the next room where his sister Lucy is watching television and shouts, “Lucy! Lucy! Look at my hands!”

Lucy looks at his hands, then bluntly chides him, “They’ve got jelly on them!”

We all have people in our lives whose main focus seems to be the ‘jelly on our hands’ and are quick to point that out to us. In one of my favorite books, “Renewing Your Spiritual Passion”, Gordon MacDonald talks about different kinds of people we deal with in many segments of society. He groups people into five camps: VRP, VIP, VTP, VNP and VDP. He celebrates people in our world who are ‘Very Resourceful People’, people of vision who, he says, ‘excite our passion’.

The ‘Very Important People’ are those who, though not that visionary, ‘catch the VRPs passion’ and, thus, excite others as a result. The ‘Very Trainable People’ are those who ‘learn the passion’ of the VRPs, and carry that excitement and passion to others and other generations. The ‘Very Nice People’ are that large multitude who simply ‘enjoy the VRPs passion’. (He thinks that many church audiences fall into this camp.) They love the excitement of their leaders, but take very little responsibility in sharing it with others. The last group, the ‘Very Draining People’ are those people who ‘drain our passion’. We often become excited about things but then run into a ‘VDP’, and soon lose that excitement and joy, because of their negativity and cynicism. They are the ‘You’ve got jelly on your hands!’ people in our circle of relationships. We see many during this election season as people ‘shoot down’ ways candidates (‘VRP’s) set forth to improve our world and our community.

I hope that each of us find ourselves among the ‘VRPs’, the ‘VIPs’ or the ‘VTPs’ that MacDonald describes. However, if we are, we will run into those who threaten to ‘drain’ our passion and excitement. How do we deal with such? If you have people around you that like to focus on the ‘jelly on your hands’ rather than your real potential and positive ideas and ideals, refuse to let them draw you down to the ‘low expectations’ they have for you. Steven Covey writes: “Opposition is a natural part of life. Just as we develop physical muscles through overcoming opposition – such as lifting weights – we develop character muscles by overcoming challenges and opposition.”

Some have failed to see this, failing to respond appropriately. We see people all the time who have given up on sunny dreams of fulfillment and success, settling into, what one writer has called, ‘the twilight world of ‘could-have-beens’ and lost dreams.

How should we treat the ‘VDPs’ we know. Andrew Somers advises: “Treat every person with kindness and respect, even those who are rude to you. Remember that you show compassion to others, not because of who they are but because of who you are.”

May God help us to share positive visions of the ‘Linus’s and move on to the greater things in our lives that bring glory to God and blessings to our world.

(Bob)

MacGregor Ranch Table Setting Takes Two Top Awards

The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation hosted a Colorado Creative Table Setting fundraising event in late October. One table received first prize in the formal category and took the People’s Choice award as well. Ginny Hutchinson from the MacGregor Ranch designed a setting for two using the ranch’s “flow blue” china to create a beautiful combination which impressed

both the judges and the people who attended the show.

For a list of the other winners and photographs of their tables, please go to our website: www.estesparkmuseumfriends.org and click on: Colorado Creative Table Setting on the left. There is a list of our generous sponsors there as well, and we thank everyone for making this occasion so memorable.

Nick Smith, Lumpy Ridge Brewing Co. “Olli’s virtuosity is manifest in surreal complexity and technical perfection, leaving us slack jawed in delight and amazement.” ~Dr. Guy and Leslie Van der Werf “One of the delights of living in Estes Park is being able to go to the oldest continuously operating movie theater in the United States and witness indescribably beautiful music created by Rhythm Future Quartet, and particularly guitarist Olli Soikkeli. Olli's skills take music to a

new level; it seems impossible that fingers and hands can move so swiftly, yet there he is, pushing the boundaries of entertainment. I'm sorry I will be out of town on November 4, or Lizzie and I would be in the Park Theater audience, again enraptured by his inspiring virtuosity. ~Robert Burkhardt, Eagle Rock, Founding Head of School

With over 100 different beers being poured by the brewers themselves from over 30 Colorado breweries, festival goers are sure to walk away having learned something new about their favorite beer from the people who created it.

The Fall Back Beer Festival also coincides with the American Homebrewers Associations Annual Learn To Homebrew Day. To help celebrate, a number of AHA sanctioned homebrewing clubs will be present and brewing for everyone to watch.

With seminars from beer industry experts, demonstrations from equipment fabricators, local hop farms, giveaways from local homebrew supply shops, and

The Spitfire Grill Is Looking For Singers/Actors

Calling all singers, experienced actors, and people who have always wanted to sing or act but never tried it! The Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies is excited to announce our annual, community musical: The Spitfire Grill. Based on a page from an old travel book, a feisty parolee follows her dreams to a small town in Wisconsin and finds a place for herself working at Hannah’s Spitfire Grill. The grill is for sale, but there are no takers for the only eatery in the depressed town, so newcomer Percy suggests to Hannah that she raffle it off. Entry fees are one hundred dollars and the best essay on why you want the grill wins.

Soon, mail is arriving by the wheelbarrow-full and things are definitely cookin’ at the Spitfire Grill.

This charming musical features Appalachian style music and singers with a country/folk style are encouraged to au-

dition along with musical theatre lovers.

Performances are March 8th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 16th, and 17th, with rehearsals starting January 14th. Auditions will be held November 4th, from 2-4 p.m. and November 5th, from 7-9 p.m. at the Hempel Auditorium, at the YMCA of the Rockies. Prepare one song that best shows your vocal and acting abilities. Please email director, Denise Stookesberry at: dstookesberry@gmail.com for an audition time.

Performing in a musical is a great way to beat the winter blues and make new friends in the community. For details on roles, music, schedules and more, please visit the Fine Arts Guild website at: www.fineartsguild.org or visit our Facebook page.

Ecological Innovation

By: Judi Smith

I have previously written about the middle school students who, after investing some 50 hours in experimentation, discovered the correct formula to extract active carbon from styrofoam. They won the Lego League Global Innovation Award, aced the Lexus Eco Challenge, and also achieved the winning slot in Google’s STEM contest. Their Styro-filter is nearly ready for market release. As the kids themselves put it, they could convert “an environmental problem into an environmental solution,” solving a lack of clear drinking water and an overabundance of discarded expanded polystyrene.

The young are energetic and enthusiastic. They are experimenting with the choice of a career. They are looking forward to making a mark in the world.

And many are very conscious of the ecological state of our planet. The result is many young ecological innovators who are making a difference.

The Lexus Eco Challenge encourages this pursuit, providing not only funding but scientific mentors to the finalists and to the winners. First two rounds concern Land-Water and Air-Climate Challenges. Eight middle school teams and eight high school teams proceed to the final (invitation only) competition.

In the 2017-2018 Lexus Eco Challenge the middle school winners also developed a filter, but this time to prevent microfibers from escaping laundry facilities into our waterways, one way synthetic fibers, including plastics, enter our oceans. Then, in the finals, the competitive team expanded their experimentation to include plastic glitter and presented these issues to the community.

Once patented, their filter will be marketed to laundromats.

This is a major issue for today’s world and tomorrow’s generations. All #3, #6,

and #7 plastics are difficult, if not impossible, to recycle. (Larimer County makes no attempt to do so.) Leaving buried plastics to decompose does not necessarily eliminate them. Although this is most obvious in the ocean, these microplastics have now been found in humans! Several attempts have been made to cleanup the ocean, mostly by the young and adventurous. Vacuums such as the solar-powered floating Bluebird Marine apparatus (designed for the open seas) or the Seabins (designed to operate in port), or even Boyan Slat’s pipeline in construction, can make some difference. However, in the long run, and the sooner the better, we must change the world culture to use less plastic and to control what happens to it after use.

On the other end of the age spectrum, retirees often find themselves at the helm of innovative developments resulting in a second career of an environmental nature. Mailman Russ Finch and his wife, after his retirement, built a geothermally heated, submerged greenhouse and discovered a second career raising tropical fruits 12 months a yearin Nebraska. Fact: eight feet below the Earth’s surface, the temperature is a consistent 50-60 degrees, year-round, day and night. More exciting, he has posted instructions on line for anyone’s use.

Tapping this energy through a circulating air system, omits the necessity of non-renewable heat.

Adults, teens, and children – remember that Tuesday is Election Day! Voting takes place now until 7 p.m. Nov. 6. Students practice vote at school, library, or Community Center. Adults have mail-in ballots and, though it is too late for the post office, can return them to the County Drop Box (or to the Voting Center in Town Hall). Same day registration is possible for US citizens.

Dia de los Muertos, un Evento para Todos

Dîa de los Muertos An Event for Everyone On Thursday, November 8 from 5 to 8 p.m. community members are invited to the Día de los Muertos (“Day of the Dead”) celebration. The annual festivities will take place in the commons area of the Estes Park High School and is free and open to the public.

The Day of the Dead is an ancient tradition from Central and South America.

It is an especially beloved holiday in Mexico when families honor their ancestors. The Mexican-American community of Estes Park comes together annually to celebrate and they welcome everyone to participate with them. It is a wonderful exchange of culture and integration that educates students and their families about Mexican customs and has been a successful event for four, consecutive years. In Mexico, Day of the Dead is celebrated from October 31 to November 2, however in Estes Park, the event is conducted a week later to let children and families rest from the excitement of Halloween.

Day of the Dead is a happy occasion. It is a way for parents and grandparents to educate their children about their deceased family members and ancestors.

They do this by telling stories, playing music, and eating traditional food. Another custom is to exhibit photographs and favorite belongings of the deceased

in an ofrenda or altar. Traditionally, ofrendas are exhibited in the home and gravesites are cleaned and decorated with bright flowers, marigolds in particular, to lead a bright path for the spirits of their ancestors to visit one day of the year.

Special food is prepared, such as pan de muerto. In addition to the sweet bread, the community celebration in Estes Park will offer a feast of delicious Mexican food. Preparations have been thoughtfully made by a team of parents who enthusiastically wish to share their traditions with their families, the school, and greater community of Estes Park.

In addition to excellent food and festive decorations, a lively Mariachi band, Sol de mi Tierra, will perform throughout the evening. The whole event is an authentic representation of Latino culture and community.

Special thanks to the organizing committee of dedicated Latino parents, District Community Liaison Jose Almeida, Estes Park School District, Village Thrift Shop, Town of Estes Park, Estes Valley Library, Estes Park Elementary PTO, Families for Estes, El Mex-Kal Family Mexican Restaurant, Chelitos Mexican Restaurant, Poppy’s Pizza and Grill, and La Cocina de Mama.

El jueves 8 de noviembre de 5 a 8 p.m. todos los miembros de la comunidad están invitados a la celebración del Día de los Muertos. Esta festividad anual se llevará a cabo en el área de la cafetería de la escuela preparatoria de Estes Park, es gratuita y está abierta al público.

El Día de los Muertos es una antigua tradición de la parte sur y central de México y también es una celebración importante en muchos países del mundo. Es una fiesta especial en México y el día cuando las familias honran a sus antepasados. Este es el cuarto año que la comunidad, especialmente la comunidad mexicana americana de Estes Park se reúne para esta celebración y dan la bienvenida a todas las personas que se vengan a esta fiesta. Es un maravilloso intercambio de cultura e integración que educa a los estudiantes y sus familias sobre las costumbres mexicanas y esperamos que tenga el éxito de los años anteriores. En México, el Día de los Muertos se celebra del 31 de octubre al 2 de noviembre, sin embargo, aquí en Estes Park, el evento se lleva a cabo una semana más tarde para que los niños y las familias descansen de la emoción de Halloween.

Día de los Muertos es una feliz ocasión.

Es una forma en que los padres y abuelos pueden educar a sus hijos sobre los familiares y antepasados fallecidos. Lo hacen contando historias, tocando música tradicional y comiendo comida tradicional. Otra costumbre es exhibir fotografías y pertenencias favoritas de

los fallecidos en una ofrenda y hacer un altar. Tradicionalmente, las ofrendas se exhiben en el hogar y las tumbas se limpian y se decoran con flores brillantes, en particular caléndulas, que forman un camino brillante que guie a los espíritus de sus antepasados en su visita anual a este mundo.

La comida de este festejo es especial, ej. el pan de muerto. Este año igual que los anteriores, la celebración comunitaria en Estes Park ofrecerá una deliciosa comida mexicana. Los preparativos han sido cuidadosamente realizados por un equipo de padres que desean con entusiasmo compartir sus tradiciones con sus familias, la escuela y la comunidad de Estes Park.

Además de excelente comida y decoraciones festivas, tendremos una animada banda de mariachis, Sol de mi Tierra, que amenizará la fiesta de 6ª 8 de la noche. Habrá también información comunitaria y continuaremos honrando a nuestros ancestros con “La Pared del Recuerdo” que enfatiza el carácter inmigrante que ha formado nuestro país.

Un agradecimiento especial al comité organizador de padres latinos, al Enlace Comunitario del Distrito José Almeida, al municipio de Estes Park, al Distrito Escolar Estes Park, Village Thrift Shop, Biblioteca del Valle Estes, al PTO de la escuela primaria de Estes Park, Familias por Estes, y los restaurantes locales Poppy's, El Mex-Kal, Chelitos y La Cocina de Mama.

Peak To Peak Concert To Feature Mary And Barry Hannigan On the next Peak to Peak Concert, Mary Hannigan and Barry Hannigan will perform a program of works for flute and piano. The concert is Saturday, Nov. 10, at 3:00 p.m. at Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran Church, 2000 Ptarmigan Trail, Estes Park.

A reception will follow the concert.

These concerts are proudly sponsored by the Oratorio Society of Estes Park: for further information go to www.osep.info. Checks made out to OSEP are tax-deductible. Tickets are not required for the concert, but a donation is suggested.

The program includes five works for flute and piano: Michel Blavet’s Sonata La Lumagne, Saint-Saens’s Romance and

solo CDs for Black Canyon Records.

Hannigan received Bucknell University’s highest award for inspirational teaching.

His students have earned graduate performance degrees in piano at schools such as Peabody, Eastman, and the New England Conservatory Mary Hannigan-“Some in the near-capacity audience were moved to tears” is Robert Miner’s description of flutist Mary Hannigan’s playing at a performance on the Simply Grand series at NPR affiliate station WVIA in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. Notable performances include Market Square Summerfest in Harrisburg with the Ying Quartet, the national convention of the Music Teachers National Association, and the Mc-

Odelette, Debussy’s Syrinx, and Yuri Levitin’s Sonata. There are also two works for solo piano by Chopin: Nocturne, Op. 48, No. 1 and Ballade in G Minor, Op. 23.

Barry Hannigan was recently awarded Emeritus status at Bucknell University, where he retired as the Ellen P. Williams Professor of Music. He made his New York debut in Carnegie Recital Hall in 1984 and has since received rave reviews in major cities across the United States.

Paul Moor of Musical America wrote: “…he absolutely bowled me over…with his extraordinary proficiency. ” Hannigan made his European debut at the Edvard Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway, and has subsequently performed in Russia, England, China, Ireland, Norway, and New Zealand. He has appeared as guest artist at a host of American universities, such as UCLA, Yale, Cornell, and the Universities of Oregon, Colorado, Illinois, Arizona State, and Texas.

Dozens of his performances have been aired on National Public Radio affiliate stations across the U. S. He is the recipient of many awards and prizes, including those from the Ford, Belin, Surdna, and Presser Foundations. Hannigan has recorded for Opus One, SEAMUS, Seesaw Music, SCI, and Radio Telefis Eireann in Dublin, and has released four

Graw-Hill Young Artists Showcase for radio WQXR in New York City. She has recorded for S. C.I. and performed widely across the United States as soloist, concerto soloist, and chamber musician. She is a member of two performing duos: one with her husband Barry and one with harpist Rebecca Kauffman. She has been a member of the Harrisburg Symphony since 1984.

Ms. Hannigan recently retired from the faculty of Dickinson College, where she performed for many years with that college’s faculty wind quintet. A former faculty member of the Rocky Ridge Music Center in Colorado, she performed for the Music in the Mountains series for many years.

Ms. Hannigan’s students have won recognition at the national and state level on many occasions: a former student holds the piccolo position in the Chicago Symphony; others have been selected as masterclass performers for the National Flute Association Convention and have performed on National Public Radio’s “From the Top.” Several different students have won first flute in all-state band in Pennsylvania.

Ms. Hannigan holds a Master of Music from Rutgers University and received her B. A. cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, from Colorado College.

“The Post” At Reel Mountain Theater: Free Admission Thursday With Library Card

Based on a pivotal moment in American history, the acclaimed 2017 film “The Post” will be presented in a onenight-only screening at the Reel Mountain Theater in Stanley Village on Thursday, November 8 at 7:00 p.m. The screening is being sponsored by the Estes Valley Library as part of its continuing series of News Literacy programs.

Movie-goers who present their library card will receive free admission to the program.

Set in 1971, the movie tells the story of the “Washington Post” as its publisher and editors wrestle with the consequences of printing the Pentagon Papers to reveal a massive cover-up involving the government and Vietnam. The characters weigh their duty to inform the

public with the risks of potential jail time and financial ruin. “The Post” is both a journalistic thriller and homage to the safeguards of a free press.

“The Post,” rated PG-13, was directed

by Steven Spielberg and stars Meryl Streep as the Post’s publisher, Katharine Graham, while Tom Hanks plays the role of editor Ben Bradlee.

Meals On Wheels Is Rolling Along!

We are in our first year of operating the Meals on Wheels program and it has been very rewarding for us. Our volunteers are delivering hot nutritious meals with loving care that sweetens the relationship with those who receive them.

Over 70% of our neighbors who receive meals are 80 years of age and older. It’s so heartwarming to hear the stories from our coordinator, Michelle Purdy. She told me about a special lady that was in the hospital for a period of time and once released she was unable to come to the door for her meals, so the delivery driver would enter the house with her permission and carry the meal to her where she was seated.

Within a couple weeks she had gained her strength back and one day she was waiting at the door for the driver that was delivering her meal. She was overjoyed to open the door and let him know how the meals had helped her gain back her strength, and that she was back to

where she was before the pneumonia took over her body.

It’s amazing to watch the bonding of two people come together when neighbors choose to help each other in their time of need. Our Meals on Wheels program provides a vital service to our community and we are committed to keep this rolling. $100 a month will provide a hungry neighbor with 20 meals.

It doesn’t seem like a lot, but it is when you’re on a fixed income. We have individuals right now who can’t prepare meals for themselves nor can they cover the cost of our meals, but we are making up the difference and providing them from the funds that we have been given.

Would you consider sponsoring a person with monthly meals for $100? Find out more on how you can partner with us on this at www.CrossroadsEP.org or write a check payable to Crossroads Ministry and mail it to PO Box 3616, Estes Park, CO 80517.

In my lifetime the norms of our American society have changed. We are more self-indulgent, display fewer manners, accept lower standards of behavior and education, use more profane language (I’m guilty) and seem to have less concern about others’ well-being. I guess if I could combine all our social ills into one word, it would be RESPECT, or rather, the lack thereof.

We, the smartest animals on the planet, with reasoning abilities and interpretive feelings, seem to screw up everything.

Today, more than ever, we do not seem to respect our environment, authority (police or parental), how we present ourselves to others and their rights or beliefs.

When I was a kid and I misbehaved in school, I was punished by my teacher and then my parents. Today in our sue society, the disciplined youth (if they are disciplined) plead their case to their parents, who point accusing fingers at the teacher authority and threaten the school administration with a lawsuit.

Respect for authority and personal accountability go out the win-dow.

When I finished school and started work-ing, I put my best foot forward and tried to show my potential employer how I would benefit his operation. Today, the applicant’s approach is “where is my private office, what is my vacation schedule, and here are my salary demands.”

Since living here, I, like most of this paper’s readership, go hiking in our marvelous mountains. What happened to packing out what you packed in? How many times have I picked up cans and trash on trails at makeshift campsites?

Maybe it is the fact that the wife and I find less used trails. What happened to caring for our environment? It is loaned to us to enjoy while we inhabit this life.

We as a nation have implemented rules and regulations to protect our one and only planet. Other developed countries throughout the world have done so too.

Our present administration has allowed commerce and profit to supercede the deli-cate balance of nature. The disheartening part of this scenario is that it just might be too late to save Mother Earth. I for one, think our native Indians, uneducated as they were, knew that the very existence of earth depended on the proper stewardship of its resources.

The Indians respected nature and its abundance. Modern society has disregarded the needs of nature for our own over-populated needs. I am guilty, I did my share with fathering three offspring, owning six vehicles, traveling extensively while burning up fossil fuels. As a former Florida resident, I needed my home and auto to be air conditioned.

When I was in school, there was a dress code for students and teachers. We all had to present ourselves with decent at-

tire: no shorts, low-cut tops, baggy pants, no exposed underwear. In brief, we had to have a presentable appearance. When we looked good, we felt good and behaved well. We respected ourselves, which made it easier to respect others.

As a kid, I had the privilege of being raised on an integrated back street. People with pride and respect for one another lived on that street. They were black, Polish, German, Irish, Italian, Hungarian and a couple “Heinz 57s’ like me. Certainly, the economics were different on our street, but the respect for each other was always there. It did not make any difference as to color, nationality or religion, each resident was respectful of their neighbor. It was a united neighborhood.

Today, it seems we have more division in our society. We have mass media, owned by biased factions who promote specific doctrines. We have megachurches that have developed their own agenda even in the political arena, which our forefathers tried to guard against. Our values have changed so political campaigns can be won on emotion instead of issues. Respect for the opponent has gone by the boards.

Now let’s talk maturity. For my money, maturity is not biological but intellectual. It is not how or what you think, but how you express yourself to others and how responsible you are for your own actions. Just be-cause you have passed many decade anniversaries does not mean you are mature. When, at any age, you can look in the mirror and honestly critique yourself and admit your shortcomings as well as your strengths, then you are on you way to maturity. When you can convey your feelings to others without emotional bias and take responsibility for your mistakes, then you demonstrate maturity. We all are in charge of our own destiny. We make ourselves happy; we control our fears and actions, not others.’ Mature people understand that it is not someone else’s’ fault when they themselves fail. Mature people take responsibility for their actions and do not blame the teacher, the police or their parents for their actions.

Mature people understand that for every action you take, there is a consequence, be it good or bad. Mature people know that you reap what you sow.

Positive begets positive, negative begets negative.

Mature people are respectful of others’ thoughts and actions. Would it not be great if we were all mature individuals dealing with each other respectfully?

But then again, it might be a very boring world if we did not have any conflict. Gee, if there were not conflict, I would not have had to pay those enormous legal fees for my divorces!

Estes Park Golfers Raise $3,200 For Estes Valley Junior Golf Program

The players in the 24th Annual Golf Marathon head towards hole number five at th Estes Park 18-Hole Golf Course just as the morning sun starts to hit the course.

Five golfers from Estes Park—Mark Miller, Austin Logan, Tim Hull, Brad Doggett and Rene Archambault—spent Tuesday, October 23, 2018 playing golf at the Estes Park 18-Hole Golf Course, one of two courses managed by the Estes Valley Recreation and Park District. And it thankfully didn’t snow on them; the original date for the marathon, on October 16, was postponed a week thanks to several inches of fresh snow on the course.

But the men weren’t going to let a few flakes on the greens ruin their chance to raise money for the Estes Valley Junior Golf program, the goal of the marathon.

“We have bad weather more often than

not for this event,” said Mark Miller, Manager of Golf Services. “Postponing a week wasn’t a big deal.

We were happy to see the snow melted away and the weather stayed playable for today so we could do this for the kids.”

But these men, all members of the Estes Park Men’s Golf Association, didn’t play just one round of

golf. Their goal was to start at sunrise and play until sunset.

“We played 450 holes,” said Mark Miller, Manager of Golf Services.

“We finished the day at about 3:30 p.m. after five complete rounds because we maxed out the potential pledges.”

The men started playA golfer takes a swing out of a bunker during the 24th Annual Golf Marathon at the Estes Park 18-Hole Golf Course.

ing the 24th Annual Golf Marathon at 7:30 a.m. below colorful morning clouds. The air was hovering around 37 degrees and the elk were filling the air with their bellowing bugles.

These experienced golfers—all have been playing golf for twenty years or more—finished their first round of play in 90 minutes. They were cruising through the 18 holes of the Estes Park Golf course, which typically takes about three to four hours to complete.

Donors could make bronze, silver or gold pledges. Pars, birdies and eagles (golf lingo for the number of strokes it

takes to complete a hole on the course) were each worth a various amount— from five cents to 75 cents each. One donor even offered up the challenge of a $500 pledge for the first hole-in-one during the marathon. Although Austin Miller came close three times, he unfortunately didn’t achieve the challenging honor. The men did, however, have one eagle, 75 birdies and 283 pars to max all of the pledge amounts.

In total, the men raised $3,200 for Estes Valley Junior Golf, a program dedicated to providing golf programs that are safe, affordable and enjoyable for children ages 6 to 17, and to deliver these programs with a high level of professionalism and expertise. Through these programs, participants may also receive safe golf equipment at no charge with the hope of upgrading the equipment as the child grows.

“Golf is a great sport for children,” said Mr. Miller. “It teaches important life skills, such as self-discipline, high selfesteem, character, etiquette, sound values, positive relationships and good sportsmanship.”

“We would also like to send out a big thank you from all of us who played, to all who pledged, and to the golfers that let us play through all day,” said Mr. Miller.

If you are interested in making a donation to the Estes Valley Junior Golf program or would like more information about getting your child involved in Junior Golf, contact Mark Miller at mark@evrpd.com or 970-586-8146.

The Deal Of The Century-Yes On 6A To The Editor: You hear it often, the wail of the siren going through town. You see it often, flashing lights on top of those big red trucks. Someone, somewhere, needs help. The Estes Valley Fire Protection District (EVFPD), professionally staffed by volunteers, is on the way. Now we need your help!

Due to legislation beyond our control, The Gallagher Amendment is taking away funding from our fire department.

Ballot issue 6A is an attempt to mitigate this issue by stabilizing fire district revenues. Look at your tax bill. A $500,000 home currently pays roughly $70 per year to the fire department. The residential assessment rate for EVFPD is 1.9%, the next lowest in Larimer County is 7.6%. The EVFPD is the Deal of the

Century!

We have been volunteer firefighters for a combined 62 years in the Estes Valley.

Each year we have seen our skills and abilities grow. When you vote yes on 6A, you are ensuring this progress does not stall. You are ensuring that your volunteers will have the skills, training, and equipment necessary to perform in the event the next emergency is yours.

Vote YES on 6A. Sincerely, Jon Landkamer, Asst. Chief Rick Spear, Captain Justin Kearney, Captain Nathan Meulener, Lieutenant Jason Hennig, Lieutenant EVFPD

To The Editor: Mental health affects us all. Based on demands it places on our first responders, in emergency rooms, and in our classrooms, it is an issue that is already costing area taxpayers millions of dollars each year. For our neighbors in need – at least 65,000 in Larimer County, including about 1,300 in Estes Park – there is a lack of sufficient access to services. On average, one in five county residents confronts a mental health issue at any given time.

For the first time in its 43-year history, the nonpartisan Community Foundation of Northern Colorado is taking a stance on a ballot initiative. We are the community’s foundation, serving hundreds of local donors and distributing over $12 million into our community last year; but being nonpartisan doesn’t require us to ignore the inefficient and ineffective use of taxpayer dollars. We believe it’s time to facilitate a regional solution to

deliver cost-effective mental health care to reach those at risk before they are in crisis.

Larimer County’s vision is three-fold: first, address mental health issues before crisis stage with preventative programs; second, a new mental health facility during crisis stage; and third, provide recovery programs for post-crisis treatment. Please support ballot issue 1A. The status quo is simply too costly in terms of both dollars and lives. On November 6, we get the opportunity to make an impact and give our county the tools to address local mental health concerns and reduce the need to outsource care across county lines.

We urge you to get engaged in your community and vote.

Dear Editor, The mid-term elections are upon us.

We stare at a lengthy ballot from each side of a deeply divided country. We are more than simply “Right” and “Left”.

There are divisions within sides: I abhor the very idea of abortion, but I am staunchly against the repeal of Roe vs.

Wade. I am an advocate for the environment but I find myself buying muffins in plastic containers. The divide crisscrosses at so many angles.

But within all the angles I see wisdom, kindness, generosity and love.

So what does all this have to do with the mid-term elections? Here’s what I think: regardless of the “side” we think we’re on, we all “pledge allegiance to the flag and to the Republic for which it stands.” That includes all of us.

It would follow that our votes should benefit everyone, that the basics of “life,

liberty and the pursuit of happiness” should be available to all: • Clean air and water both now and for future generations • Universal health care • Education that opens possibilities for each and every child • Living wages • Decent housing • Freedom from religious, racial and political scape-goating • A tax system that lifts up all citizens, not primarily the very rich • A country that is true to its deeplyheld human values Please be sure to vote. It has never mattered more.

Thank you.

Sincerely, Louise Olson Estes Park resident

Thoughts On Jon Kefalas For County Commissioner To The Editor: Elections for county commissioners rarely attract much attention due in part to the county's mundane responsibilities such as roads, jails and budgets.

The recent vote by county commissioners to approve the rezoning application for the mountain slide should provide the exception to this pattern.

For this reason I urge Estes Valley residents to vote for John Kefalas for county commissioner in this upcoming election.

I have know John for over fifteen years during which time he has represented with transparency his Ft. Collins constituency first in the State House and most recently in the Senate. During these years John has grappled with the state’s Rubik’s cube of roads, education, health care and other thorny issues. This experience alone makes John a worthy candidate for county commissioner.

But it is John’s ability to both listen and

to hear that makes John such an asset for the Estes community. The recent vote by our commissioners is a clear reminder of the distinction between these two attributes. To listen is easy. To hear requires replacing preconceived notions with an open mind, with empathy and with an eagerness to learn.

It is time the Estes community is served by commissioners that represents all of our interests, not just the interests of a few. It is time we have commissioners that honor our challenge to manage growth while preserving the essence of our community. It is time we have commissioners who can put aside their predilections in order to hear what our community is so clearly saying.

Do yourself a favor. Do us all a favor.

Vote for John Kefalas for county commissioner. We deserve someone of his caliber.

Urges a “Yes” Vote On Amendment 73 To The Editor: On November 6th Estes Park citizens will have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our public school students. It is incumbent upon us to embrace this chance to support Estes Park students as well as students across the state by voting yes on Amendment 73, (A73) Funding for Public Schools.

• Only 11 other states spend less per pupil than Colorado • Colorado ranks among the ten worst states in high school graduation rates • Among the top ten states with the highest graduation rates, seven spend considerably more per student that Colorado It seems only logical that a correlation exists.

In our state with its robust economy, our spending on public education is more than $2,000 per student less than the national average. Colorado students and Estes Park students deserve better.

Since our public schools are funded with taxpayer dollars how else can we increase funding other than a tax increase? So the question becomes who will see an increase on their state income tax?

Nearly 92% of Coloradoans will have absolutely NO increase in their state income tax. The burden will fall on those with taxable income of more than

$150,000 annually and on large corporations. An Estes Park resident with taxable income of $150,000 or less will not pay any additional income tax. An Estes Park resident with a taxable income of $200,000, for example, will see a tax increase of about $185.00. To determine your tax liability under A73 go to https://cosfp.org/impactcalculator.

Overall, A73 will raise about $1.6 billion in revenue for our public schools.

The Estes Park school district could see up to about $1.8 million in new funding. That will make a difference in our local school district.

Arguments against A73 don’t hold water. The main objective, suggesting that A73 will have a negative impact on other property taxing districts is simply not true, according to an analysis by the law firm Lewis Roca Rothgerber Christie LLP in Denver.

And finally, Larimer County Assessor, Steve Miller, who opposes A73 stated in this newspaper on Friday, October 5th “Amendment 73 would increase income taxes in Colorado by $1.6 billion. Those tax dollars would go into a separate fund and would not be available for any purpose other than PreK-12 education.”

That sounds like an endorsement to me. I urge you to vote yes on Amendment 73.

Voting For John Keflas For Larimer County Commissioner To The Editor: I do not know when John Kefalas started sending information to his constituents which I have never been. But since April 2012, I have read and collected his regular legislative reports to learn about how Colorado makes laws. I have learned more than that. I have discovered that John Kefalas is thoughtful

and hard working. Or maybe he is hard working and thoughtful.

Please vote for him for Larimer County Commissioner so that I can be his constituent.

narily helpful. Indeed she was indispensable.

During my days pouring over family papers-a period of time, which lasted well over two years- Gladys, was an invaluable ally. As I discovered early on, she knew where “the stuff ” was: the diaries, the letters, photographs, and other documents out of which this book has finally emerged.”

After 30 years at MacGregor ranch, Gladys retired and enjoyed traveling spending time with her family.
