Watch For Wildlife On Or Near The Roads

Now that we’ve endured the time change, it’s time to remind motorists to be particularly cautious to avoid wildlife-related accidents on our roads as daylight hours get shorter.

The fall time change happens to be right in line with peak mating season for some of our wildlife, especially deer.

Bears are also still actively looking for food and the calories needed before hibernation. Animals are on the move this time of year, most actively between dawn and dusk. With shorter daylight hours, that makes wildlife harder to see right when people are making their daily commutes. Just last week a young deer was mortally wounded when a vehicle was driving too fast in the downtown area of Estes Park and sadly, police had to put the young deer down.

The Colorado Department of Transportation sees an average of 3,300 reported wildlife collisions each year, and notes more car accidents involving wildlife occur in November than in any other month.

The following precautions are good advice all year long, but particularly at and around the change back to daylight standard time: • Slow down. Swerving at high speeds increases the danger of an accident.

Moderate speeds maintain a driver’s reaction time and allow an appropriate response to animals on or near roads.

• Stay alert, particularly while driving

between dusk and dawn. This is when deer and other wildlife are most active and more likely to be crossing roadways.

• Scan ahead and watch for movement and shining eyes along roadsides. If you see one animal, you should expect it will be accompanied by others.

• Obey traffic signs, particularly wildlife warning signs. Though incidents can happen anywhere, transportation authorities attempt to reduce the number of incidents by posting signage and lowering speeds in areas where wildlife are active.

• When animals are seen on or near the road, slow down or stop, tap your horn and/or flash headlights. This warns the animal to avoid the road and alerts other drivers to the potential hazard.

• Always wear seat belts. Unfortunately, not every collision is avoidable, and the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration states that the risk of serious injury and death in a crash is reduced by half when seat belts are worn.

• Keep your dogs leashed. Too many times unleashed dogs discover and chase wildlife into the roadway where they are hit by vehicles.

• Drivers involved in a wildlife/vehicle collision should report the accident.

Take Time To Celebrate Memories Of A Loved One With Estes Park Health Hospice

5-11 PM SATURDAY, DECEMBER

15

LIVE MUSIC BY: AIN’T FROM HERE ALL NIGHT HAPPY HOUR

A Holiday Party you won’t want to miss at the Ridgeline Hotel!

LEARN MORE AT: RIDGELINEHOTEL.COM/HOLIDAY18 101 South Saint Vrain Avenue, Estes Park, CO 80517

The holiday season can be a difficult of time for people who have experienced the death of a loved one. Holidays are usually a time of joy, family togetherness and thankfulness. However, if you are grieving, the holidays can also bring times of emptiness, isolation and intense sadness.

Estes Park Health Hospice Care invites you and your family to a “Time of Remembrance” to honor your loved one on December 1 at 2:00 p.m. in the Good Samaritan Chapel-Estes Park Village (1901 Ptarminga Tr.). The Hospice Care Team will be available to help the Estes Valley community remember those who have passed over the last year and those we continue to grieve. This event is free and open to families and individuals who would like to honor a loved one.

The full sense of the loss of a loved one never occurs all at once, and the onset of the holiday season can shine a light on how much your life has changed. Taking time to be with others and sharing memories is a reminder that you are not alone.

More about Estes Park Health Hospice: Hospice is not a place, but is high-quality care that enables patients and families to focus on living as fully as possible despite a life-limiting illness. It is essential

that people understand that hospice and palliative care is not giving up, it is not the abandonment of care, it is not reserved for the imminently dying. Hospice is a successful model of personcentered care that brings hope, dignity and compassion when they are most needed.

One of the most common regrets we hear from hospice patients and their families is the delayed decision to choose hospice care. It is essential to understand the need of individuals and families to fully understand the options when approaching end of life. Nearly 30 percent of Medicare beneficiaries receive hospice care for seven days or less, a period considered too short to take full advantage of the many services the hospice interdisciplinary team offers Every year, nearly 1.5 million Medicare beneficiaries receive care from hospices in this country. Hospice provides pain management, symptom control, psychosocial support, and spiritual care to patients and their family caregivers when a cure is not possible. More information about home health care, hospice, palliative care, and advance care planning is available. Call 970-586-2273 or visit us on our website eph.org/hospice.

Crossroads Extends Sincere Thanks store, we had enough turkeys for everyone and a few extra to distribute from now until Christmas. Safeway put together food boxes for us that included turkey breasts and all the sides for a hearty meal.

We included these with all the other items that each shopper could choose from to take home. A special takeaway was homemade Crossroads Ministry of Estes Park would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who made Thanksgiving Blessing a grand success this year!

Families and individuals came through our front door and were greeted by loving neighbors who were there to assist them in gathering their food items for Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone left with their cars full of food and their hearts full of love.

Turning words into action is what touches the heart of the giver and receiver. It was amazing to watch the personal interaction going on during this event. It was like a big family reunion!

We definitely couldn’t have pulled this off without generous people who dropped off food items and cash donations to help us purchase everything that we needed. Between the Food Bank of Larimer County and our local Safeway

bread baked by Antonio’s pizza!

One last shout out is for First Colorado Realty who loaned us their box truck so we could pick up all the turkeys. Our community has done an outstanding job of making sure every family in Estes Park enjoys a delicious dinner with their family this Thanksgiving. Team work makes the dream work!

Top Sellers Recognized The Cub Scout popcorn sale is complete once again! In August, the local Cub Scouts began knocking on doors, setting up booths and opening up their online sales pages in our community to kick-start the annual popcorn fundraiser.

They began the season with a sales goal of $22,000. All of the boys worked hard to sell, and the pack is proud to announce that they smashed their goal with sales of $28,975!

The Annual Popcorn Sale is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Cub Scout Pack, and all proceeds are used to help fund summer camp, badges and awards, and Scouting activities such as the

Pinewood Derby.

Beyond financial responsibility, there are many other positive lessons that the Scouts learn. Popcorn sales are also designed to teach salesmanship skills, communication skills and budgeting.

This sale even helps shape a Scout’s future through higher education. Scouts who sold enough popcorn to qualify for a college scholarship that will continue to grow through their popcorn sales.

The Pack would like to extend a big thank you to everyone involved in helping them reach their goal. Including parents, leaders, Estes Park Safeway, the Country Supermarket and everyone who purchased this delicious product.

Also thank you to Dairy Queen for donating the celebratory cakes.

‘THIS THANKSGIVING, AND ALL YEAR LONG, BE YE THANKFUL!’ A Colorado man introduces us to two people he knows. Perhaps you know them.

“I know a man with a well-paying job – a prestigious position, with generous bonuses and plenty of recognition. But he has forgotten to be thankful. He lives in a large new home – on a cul-de-sac, with a big yard, in a nice neighborhood. But has forgotten to be thankful. He drives a fancy new car, and has lots of extras, does lots of things. But he has forgotten to be thankful. He travels to big cities, on big business trips, and plays golf with big people. But he has forgotten to be thankful. He dresses in nice clothes and wears nice shoes. But he has forgotten to be thankful.

He enjoys good health, stays fit, plays sports and eats at nice restaurants. But he has forgotten to be thankful. He is a man who wants for nothing…except he has forgotten to be thankful.

I know a second man with a loving family, a caring wife, obedient children, and a friendly dog. He’s very thankful. He has a low-paying, labor-intensive job, with no bonuses and / or recognition. But he’s grateful to be working. He drives a borrowed truck, and can’t afford to do extra things. But he’s indebted for the good will. He travels around town from job-site to job-site, and has forgotten how to swing a golf club. But, that’s okay. He works in jeans and boots. He gets too dirty to wear a tie or jacket. He’s very appreciative. He enjoys good health – some small aches and pains, but nothing serious. Rarely eats at a restaurant. But he’s very thankful. He goes to a loving church, has lots of good friends and meaningful friendships. He’s thankful to God for His blessings. He has had help in many ways, from many people. He’s grateful. He’s a man who wants for nothing, because, as he will tell you, he has everything. He’s very thankful.

This Thanksgiving season I am thankful that I knew the first man because he introduced me to the second man.” (Joe Eberle) I hope that in our dealings with everyone…and with God…our thankfulness is evident.

It should be so obvious in our homes….with our spouses and children. I heard about a woman whose counselor advised her to ‘be open’ about her feelings with her husband, recommending that she and he sit down, take a piece of paper, write their honest feelings, and then read them to each other. Her husband agreed that would be a good idea. He started writing immediately and, after reflecting a bit, she began. She told how she often felt ignored, not listened to, taken advantage of, over-worked, and on-and-on, all blaming and accusatory. Finishing her writing she looked at him. He was still writing. From time-to-time he would look up thoughtfully, and then write some more. After a long time, he finally put down his pen. She shared what she had written first, as he sat, listening intently, often wiping tears from his eyes or cheeks, as she ‘unloaded’ her sentiments. Finally, it was his turn. He began, “I love you, love you, love you. I love you so much for the many years we have had together. I love you so for bringing our children into the world and always being there for them. I love you, love you, love you for the many years of meal-preparation, clothes washing, and all other chores you do. I love you for loving my parents and helping them so much during the years they were alive, often so sickly…I love you, and I thank you”…on and on.

This time it was she who wiped the tears from her eyes and cheeks and wished she had written so differently.

This Thanksgiving season which of the first two men, and which…the wife or the hus(Bob) band, are you most like? The Word of God says: “In everything give thanks.”

Free Lecture Dec. 1st At Estes Park Memorial Observatory Program on: “The Library of Babel and the Very Large Numbers of Science” by John Ensworth The Estes Valley Astronomical Society (EVAS) in conjunction with The Estes Park Memorial Observatory is offering a free public lecture Saturday, December 1, 2018 at the Estes Park Memorial Observatory. Normally our public lectures are on the 4th Saturday of the month but this months’ lecture is moved to accommodate our speaker. The goal of EVAS is to promote amateur astronomy and education in the Estes valley.

The scientist and the layperson alike try to grapple with infinity. It shows up at the edges of science and math every day. We have to deal with it. But can humans really visualize the infinite? Can we get a gut feeling for even just the very, very large? John Ensworth will take you to the fictional Library of Babel, based on the short story by Jorge Luis Borges of the same name, and use it as a tool to expand your perception of the very large. He will compare the size of the (finite but large) library with physical and mathematical values science has found exist in reality. How far can your mind go… grasping the vastness of what is?

John Ensworth is currently the Principal Investigator of the NASA SMD Independent Education Product Review at the IGES, which is a non-profit organization formed, in part, to conduct independent reviews on all Earth and space science education products produced by

or created for NASA (www.strategies.org). His position is the one responsible for conducting these reviews and helping with NASA education and outreach efforts through the Web (nasawavelength.org/) and at large education conferences (i. e. NSTA, NCTM, and the ASP) that introduce the products that are scientifically accurate and appropriate for the educational audience they are intended for. In the 90s Mr. Ensworth was a masters’ student and a PhD candidate in meteorology at the University of Oklahoma. He teaches physics and mathematics at a number of online universities. He earned undergraduate degrees in physics and astronomy, and geography and meteorology with an emphasis in math and computer science. You can view a webcam of his backyard observatory (Cherrywood Observatory) in Longmont at /bikerjohn.com/webcam_page1.htm.

The observatory is just north of the high school at 1600 Manford Ave. Park in the teacher’s parking lot between the high school and the observatory. The doors will open at 7:00 p.m. and the meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. The presentation, including a question and answer period, lasts about an hour. After the presentation, weather permitting, we will look through our 16 inch dome telescope at various celestial objects.

Information about the meeting can be found on the observatory website at: www.AngelsAbove.Org.

Diane & Bennett Gardner 614 Meadowview Drive Bennett and Diane have been in their home for just over a year. The couple started coming to Estes Park for vacations over the past 15 years, fell in love with the area and decided to retire here. This home is their retirement home and the perfect vacation spot for their children and grandchildren.

Their ranch style home was built in 1987 and sits on a one acre parcel of rural land with a great view of Hermit Park.

Th home is 2,000 square feet with three bedrooms, two baths and an open concept. They have beautiful beetle kill pine ceilings in the living room and sunroom and the home has two fireplaces. There are antiques throughout and every room has its own unique style and feel. Ninety percent of the photos adorning the walls were taken by Ben. Since moving in, Diane and Ben have added a fencedin yard and they planted twenty-two trees, including Blue Spruce, Pinon and Austrian Pine.

All holiday decorations in the Gardner home span three generations, old & new in each room! Diane loves to collect Christmas and has her parents first nativity set that is 69 years old as well as her mother’s first Christmas ornament that is 85 years old!

The Gardners have had elk at their back door, bears all over their property as well as rabbits, a marmot family living under their shed, chipmunks, coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions and all manners of birds!

Diane said, “There is no place quite like this to be living in God’s wonderful creation. There just aren’t enough words to tell how full our hearts are!”

Molly & John Nosbisch 901 Black Canyon Dr. The beauty, small town atmosphere, and outdoor activities called Molly and John to Estes Park. Five days after the 2013 flood they moved into a duplex they had built and six months later they were full time residents after living in Omaha, NE for 43 years. After four years of living in the duplex the couple wanted a home in an established neighborhood and John’s only major requirement was that it was within walking distance to downtown.

They moved into their current home in June of 2017 and quickly began an extensive renovation.

The home was built in 1986 that sits on a one acre corner lot with partial views of Longs Peak, the Mummy Range, and Lumpy Ridge.

The style is a mix of antique, modern and traditional.

The home has 13 rooms in 3,500 sq. feet of living space with a moss rock fireplace and large windows to let in natural light. When choosing wall colors Molly wanted soft greys, blues, and some greens. Molly enjoys drawing, painting and decorating and they converted the first floor laundry room to a small art room so she is able to satisfy her desire to create.

Molly has been fortunate to inherit antiques from family and uses her grandmother's antique china and silverware on holidays and special occasions. Molly said, “Inherited family antiques enhance and add character to our home by the priceless memories passed down from generations of beloved ancestors.”

Their Christmas decorations have come from a variety of sources. Molly’s most prized is a small manger set that was given to her by her aunt. Her Christmas Village was given to her by her mother, one building each Christmas. They hold a special place in Molly’s heart.

They have numerous elk and deer pass through the yard and have had a bear stop by. Nearly every morning this fall they have been visited by three tom turkeys.

John often likes to say, “It's just another ho-hum day in paradise.”

Sherie and Larry Strong 2716 Nimbus Drive Sherie came to Estes Park in 1976 for a convention at the YMCA and decided she wanted to live here. The couple came back for their honeymoon in 1979, returned for 18 years on vacation and moved here November of 1997.

Their home was built in 1994 and is a three story, wood frame with cedar siding and three decks. The home has a flagstone “courtyard” entry to front of home. All three floors offer stunning views across Moraine Park to the Mummy Range.

The four bedroom, 3 ½ bath home is an open concept with kitchen, dining and living room, 12 rooms, tongue and groove ceiling in the living room and a gas freestanding Vermont Castings Stove.

The Strongs named their home “The Sanctuary” and say it is a “connecting” place. Sherie said, “Our home is enjoyed the most when it full of people socializing, laughing, singing, praying and building friendships.”

Sherie has a sewing/quilting studio in one of the bedrooms (she owned Cottage Bliss for 17 years) and a prayer room in the loft. Music is a big aspect of their home and the den downstairs serves as a place to make music with friends. Larry’s den reflects his interest in horses and his love of the cowboy life. The home has numerous Early American antiques including 1898 Cabinet Grand Emerson piano, Amish family heirlooms and items from Sherie’s Amish and Mennonite heritage, family antiques, a Black Forest Cuckoo clock, extensive English Chintz china collection and teaware (Larry’s heritage is English), an extensive knife collection, numerous handmade quilts and framed needlework created by Sherie and her mother.

Holiday decorations include a 10 foot tree in the living room, decorative garland throughout, holiday china setting on dining room table and buffet, various wreaths and nativity displays in each room to honor Jesus’ birthday.

Elk, deer, wild turkeys, many bird species, bobcat, mountain lion and moose, have all been spotted in the neighborhood.

Linda and Dennis Fromholzer 880 Black Canyon Drive Dennis is an avid hiker and RMNP was calling and Linda grew up in a small town in Oklahoma so returning to the small town of Estes Park was of great interest to the Fromholzers. They moved here in August of 2017.

The house was built in the early 80s and has gone through several renovations. A spiral staircase was replaced, rooms changed their original purpose and walls were modified to make it more open.

The 4,000 sq. ft. house is located in the Black Canyon Hills where a ponderosa forest provides shelter for all types of wildlife. It has a traditional/cabin style that is furnished with many Craigslist/resale items which includes a DIY glass etching of wildlife scenes that surround the office. The great room has a view of Longs Peak and the dining room has the original wood paneling that provides a “homey” feel. Their large deck is great for entertaining.

Dennis is a professional musician playing the organ and piano and is excited to play Christmas music during the Holiday Home Tour. Linda enjoys being a homemaker and has always had a “creative” side whether it is cooking, weaving rugs, fiber art, sewing etc. Many items in the home are handmade with love. Linda started collecting nativity scenes over 20 years ago and her collection has grown to 120 at last count. Many nativity scenes are from around the world, received as gifts and/or loved by others. They are in the form of all types of media (metal, fiber, wood, puzzle, glass, ceramic, etc.), of all sizes, and can be found up high and down low throughout the house. A fun nativity game awaits you on your tour. An unexpected collection of jolly snowmen can be found in the kitchen.

Elk camp out in the yard and deer & turkey are common visitors. An occasional bobcat passes through and neighbors have spotted bears but the Fromholzers haven’t see them yet. They occasionally hear a pair of great horned owls hooting to each other at night.

Debbie and Curt Lanham 3201 Thunder Mountain Lane Debbie came to the Y Camp with her family all her life.

Curt fell in love with Debbie and Estes Park in 1973 and they have vacationed here every summer. Curt took a job in Fort Collins in 1990 and moved their three kids and Debbie to Colorado at that time. Estes Park became their home when they built a vacation home here in 2011. In 2015 they enjoyed transforming the house from a vacation home to their full-time residence. They now feel blessed to live here.

Their house is 4,800 square feet evenly divided on two floors with great mountain views. It has an open floor plan with a great room that encompasses the family room, dining room and the kitchen. They love to cook and put special attention in the size and design of the kitchen. In the summer they love their screened in porch and then look forward to the woodburning fireplace in the winter. The six bedrooms are easily filled when the grandchildren come to visit.

The couple loves to entertain and have hosted two weddings here. When family comes to visit, they can easily have a group of 25 or more for dinner.

Both business and leisure travel has always been an important part of their live and when you enter the front door you are greeted with a collection of masks that they have compiled from around the world.

Over the kitchen cabinets are a collection of “Department 56� houses nestled in lit greenery. Their home has three Christmas trees. The main tree in the family room is decorated with a mixture of modern ornaments and family heirlooms. The stone fireplace is decorated with lit greenery, lanterns and a few antlers they have picked up over the years. The table on the screened in porch is set with holiday dishes for those unexpected warm Colorado winter days.

Being located adjacent to the elk corridor, they are blessed with elk, deer, bear, moose and other wildlife throughout the year.

Now that you are looking at all those leftovers and wondering what to do with that big old turkey carcass, Thanksgiving is just a day in the past and Christmas is staring you in the face. We are just so busy during these holidays with all the shopping, decorating, writing notes of remembrance and Christmas wishes and baking goodies galore. Or at least that is how most of my coming month will be.

My first and foremost concern is how to get that huge pre-lit artificial tree down from the attic along with all the ornaments collected throughout the years. Nathan is always so helpful with that, as is Lexi. They both are of an age that when decorating the tree, not an ornament was broken last year. That is more than I can say of when my own children helped. Each year at least one or two ornaments bit the dust.

For many years I would place my collection of dolls under the tree. That has become quite a chore and I hesitate to do it this year. It is nice though, so I will have to think hard on that. These are dolls from my childhood and my sister’s.

I must have about 30 dolls of all shapes and sizes. Lexie loves them so maybe I will do it again this year.

I made a rather easy pecan chocolate cookie bar the other day for my Mahjongg group and I think I will make some more for Christmas treats. You never know who will drop in or ask you over for a visit. Something sweet is great to have on hand. These keep well in the refrigerator on even on the counter. But take them out of the fridge and let them come to room temperature before serving or they are rather hard.

I am calling them nut bars as the next time I am going to use chopped mixed nuts. You could also just use almonds or walnuts.

How Much Do Feelings Weigh?

A professor of philosophy walked into her lecture hall with a glass of water in hand. The hall was filled with antsy students who were eager to finish up class before heading home for Thanksgiving break. As she wound her way through the aisles, the professor raised the glass of water where everyone could see it; most of the students anticipated the predictable “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: “How heavy is this water?”

The students all went completely silent for a moment as they started thinking it through, then began calling out answers ranging from eight to 20 ounces. One astute student asked, “Does the glass matter?”

The professor replied, “The absolute weight doesn't matter; it depends on how long I hold the glass filled with water. If I hold it all up for a minute or two, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, my arm will probably start to ache. If I continue to hold it for a day, my arm will go numb and feel paralyzed. The weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”

She continued, “The stress and worries that you carry around in life are like that glass of water. Think on them for a minute or so and nothing happens... keep thinking about them for a bit longer, and they begin to hurt. And, if you think about them and hold them up all day long, you will feel paralyzed—incapable of doing anything.”

Remember to put the glass down.

Thanksgiving is a time of both letting go and picking up. Each year we have the opportunity to let go of past misunderstandings and mistakes. We also have the opportunity to find clarity and practice gratefulness. The longer we focus on what is truly important, the more we feel relief at putting down our glass of worries and finding joy in today.

I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Birthday, Roland!

We love you very much!

Love from your family and friends xxx ooo

vided 1 Tsp. vanilla 1 1⁄2 chopped mixed nuts (or pecans or any nut of your choice.)

1 1⁄2 cups semisweet chocolate chips Grease 13 x 9 pan. Line pan with parchment paper, letting ends extend up the to edge. This will help you lift bars out of pan. No need to grease paper.

Beat flour, 1 cup brown sugar and 1⁄2 cup butter until blended. Mix will be slightly dry. Press into prepared pan, firmly. I use the bottom of a measuring cup.

Sprinkle nuts evenly over crust. In sauce pan, melt remaining butter and sugar and bring to a boil. Stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved, 1 minute.

Add vanilla and quickly pour over pecans. Bake 15- 20 minutes. (15 is what I did) Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over hot pecans. When chips begin to melt; spread over entire dish. Cool completely and remove with help of parchment paper. Cut into squares and store in airtight container(s).

Please remember to use butter as this gives the bars such a good taste. I used to substitute margarine in many of my recipes as it was cheaper but now, I use only butter. It really isn’t that much more expensive in the long run and it is better for you.

I received a voice mail message from one of my readers asking how to quickly ripen an avocado to use that night in a salad. I was at a bridge tournament and could not answer in time. Sorry. When in doubt, one can always Google something. To answer her question, you can use the microwave. Slice the avocado in half, remove seed and place cut side down on a plate in microwave. Try 15 seconds on high, test and continue until skin give slightly. This is only an emergency method and takes away from the flavor. To ripen in a day or two, place in a bag with an apple.

Newcomers Believe In Estes Park 2100 Fall River Road, #2

NEW

The Estes Park Newcomers Club is expanding its emphasis on community outreach throughout the Estes Valley this holiday season. Santa and his merry Newcomers elves will be busy all over town!

In partnership with several local organizations, the club has mobilized its members to support three major service initiatives during the holiday months this year - a canned food drive, sales of handmade quilted items, and production of a series of festive holiday-themed events throughout town.

“During our board’s planning workshop held this past summer, we sought to identify how the club’s program offering could be expanded to serve the interests of our growing base of members,” said Bob Fulton, President of the social club. “One theme that drew a lot of focus was to organize community service opportunities for the club membership.

“Our board would later vote to expand the club’s community outreach activities, demonstrating support for our new home and helping this vibrant small mountain town that has given us all so much.”

Canned Food Drive Supports Crossroads Ministry In partnership with Crossroads Ministry, Newcomers gathered canned food and boxed goods that were in turn distributed to Estes Valley families, so that they may prepare a hearty holiday meal.

“Supporting Estes Park’s own Crossroads Ministry during the holiday season is a long-standing tradition of the Newcomers Club,” states Sherry Unruh, immediate past president of the club, and one of the members who spearheaded the canned food drive this year.

“In particular, we strive to keep the Crossroads pantry stocked for holiday meals. Their reserves can get mighty low during the winter months, so we encourage all members to help those that need a lift,” adds Ms. Unruh.

Group Raises Money for The Hospital Foundation The Trail Ridge Quilters share a love of quilting and a passion for serving others.

This Newcomers Club special interest group meets weekly at Estes Park Health and has been hard at work for more than 30 years making quilted items that are sold to the public. All proceeds go to the Estes Park Health Foundation to purchase items that directly benefit and enhance daily patient care at EP Health.

The group’s monies have purchased a variety of items from temporal thermometers to digital scales to colonoscopy

equipment and so much more.

“Why do I make items and then donate them rather than keeping them for myself or family?” ponders Jeanne Allen, quilter and Newcomer alumnus. “It’s a great way to use my quilting skills to benefit myself and other patients who use our local medical facility.”

Jeanne adds, “There is the added benefit of getting together with the other quilters and chatting as we work on our projects. For me, it’s a win-win situation.”

Public sale of the group’s handmade items will take place on November 24, 2018 at the Holiday House Sale from 9:00 a.m.–1:30 p.m. at the Ridgeline Hotel, 101 S. Saint Vrain Avenue. The Holiday House is an annual event sponsored by the Elizabeth Guild. You are sure to find something you love for yourself or to give as a gift!

“We Believe in Estes Park” Makes Its Debut We Believe in Estes Park is a new community outreach initiative of the Estes Park Newcomers Club.

An innovative concept, We Believe delivers a rich “Santa Claus” experience at nearly a dozen events this holiday season. Each event includes appearances

by Santa and Mrs. Claus, along with a group of merry elves, nutcrackers and North Pole creations to create a classic and merry holiday experience!

Proceeds raised through those events benefit local non-profit organizations.

“With a retired professional Santa and Mrs. Claus within our membership, the idea of centering this new effort on the spirit of the holidays was an easy choice,” adds Mr. Fulton. “By joining with the Town of Estes Park and other non-profit partners, we can help ring in the spirit of the holiday season for everyone in the Estes Valley.”

“Children, families and seniors within our community will receive direct support through these efforts. Even homeless pets in the area benefit!”, continued Mr. Fulton.

The club tapped one of its newest members, Barb Prentiss, to lead the effort. In early fall, she formed a planning Newcomers continued on page 40.

Last week, four hundred do-GOOD-ers gathered at the YMCA of the Rockies for National Philanthropy Day. Thanksgiving week is an especially fitting time to share the sentiment of the event with our community: gratitude and “stronger together”. Estes Park is unusual in its concentration of philanthropists: young, retiree, silent warriors, clubs, business owners, faith based groups, and large nonprofits to name a few. All of these community members—and their interests and missions—contribute to Estes’ healthy philanthropic ecosystem.

The evening is embellished with opportunities to see and celebrate good works. Attendees walked through the Forest of Philanthropy, an installation of facts and figures that represented the accomplishments and inter-connectivity of our philanthropic community. Cocktail hour allowed people to visit over 40 different organizations (from new nonprofits in town to pillars of our giving community) to see what was new and what irons were in the fire for the coming year. One of the greatest sources of impact at this event were the stories told

about each of the nominees—20 this year—being celebrated for giving their time, talent, and treasures.

The first of four awards was Business Philanthropist of the Year. This award recognizes a business that has had a significant impact on the Estes Valley community in the previous year (August 2017 – August 2018).

The award went to Estes Park Village Thrift Shop.

Community Blessings Abound!

Editor: We live in an amazing town, where community support, service to others, and celebration are on regular display.

This past weekend was no exception; here are just three examples that make me more thankful than ever to live in Estes Park.

Friday: Community members came together to raise money in support of Greg Miles, who incurred costly medical expenses after an injury. Greg's gifts to the Estes Valley are legend; local businesses, artists and musicians responded in kind, donating services and artwork to help one of our own. Thanks!

Saturday: An enthusiastic crowd stood to applaud at length the stunning EPHS production of "Cabaret," which triumphantly recreated 1930s Berlin, under Alan Denney's leadership. When high school students study antisemitism, the rise of fascism and the Holocaust, and then perform these issues on stage, they develop critical thinking skills through

service. Bravo!

Sunday: Community members gathered to celebrate Eileen Flaherty, who has led Salud Family Health Centers for more than twenty-five years and will retire in December. Eileen and her team at Salud have helped improve the health and lives of thousands of Estes Valley Residents. Well done!

Thanks to all who give to Estes Park; who understand that voluntary action is glue that builds community; who cheerfully help neighbors; who create music and art to enhance our lives; who give generously to others in need. This includes, but is not limited to, First Responders, Bell Ringers, Catch The Glow marchers, Blue Santa, Oratorio and Chorale singers, Village Band, and so many more. Day after day, week after week, conscious acts of community are blessings that make Estes Park such a great town.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Giving Thanks By: Judi Smith

This seems an appropriate time to thank all of the individuals and organizations that contributed to the Estes Recycles Day events. I have chaired the event committee three times and now plan to give someone else the chance to contribute their skills in my stead.

(Please contact the committee through RRRcyc2se@gmail.com to volunteer.)

While I, as event chair, was quite visible, the actual leadership for this event is provided by a steering committee that exceeds the boundaries of any one organization, involving representatives of the League of Women Voters and Community Recycling Committee, the Rotary Club of Estes, the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies and Bestway Painting. Over the past two years this committee has included (at various times) Diane Burkepile, Joanie Crockett, Steve Kaplan, Howard Lauren, Sandra Life, Cherie Martin, Jean McGuire, Tara Moenning, Michael Moore, Ranee Morrison, Alice Reuman, Tim Stolz, Liz Zornes and myself. This committee not only works for the day, but provides the publicity, the funding, and the organizational skills for the event. They decide event timing and stations, location, traffic pattern, kitchen operation, budgets and all other aspects of the event. Without these willing volunteers such recycling activity would, at this time, not be possible in the Estes Valley.

I also must thank the for-profit organizations who work pro bono for the day: Rocky Mountain Dumpsters (electronic station), Smith Sign Studio (event signs), Bestway Painting (paint station), and particularly to Jeff Sessler (metal station) who stepped in at the last minute. Prizes for the last two art contests have been provided by Bestway Painting, Reel Mountain Theater, the Taffy Shop, and the Historic Park Theatre. The Donut Haus and Safeway contribute donuts to the event kitchen (for volunteers). And, of course, we must thank the Trail Gazette and the EP News who do a wonderful job of supporting the event!

The student poster design contest is be-

holden to EP High School and Middle School, the members of the Estes Park Sign Association who serve as judges, and, of course, to the students who participated. Without participation we have nothing. We appreciate Jim Austin for his efforts to corral OCC. The Town of Estes donates the use of cones and barriers (Public Works), tables and chairs (Events), and advice on traffic control (Police Dept.) to assist in a smooth-running operation. Also, thank you to the Mayor for the Proclamation Ceremony announcing the awards for the art contest and to Kate Rusch for all the questions I am sure she must answer. We are indebted to them for their assistance.

It was truly a glorious day on Oct. 13, the snow stopping in time to melt sufficiently and not resuming for two hours after completion. Hot chili, coffee, tea, and cocoa warmed the 50+ volunteers who turned out for the day, largely from Rotary Club of Estes, League of Women Voters, Community Recycling Committee, Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary and Patriots for Peace. Anyone wishing to join the “party” is welcome.

Finally, I must thank the individuals and organizations who choose to responsibly recycle. Working together, we removed 3,443 pounds of electronics, 883 gallons of paint, 8,500 pounds of shredding, plus all the metal collected by our last-minute savior. Whether mandated by law (electronics, paint) or left to individual ethics, trash has become a major world crisis, globally. As more and more countries become aware of the detriment of overtaxing landfills, we will see, hopefully, more suitable options for disposal, more equitable packaging, and more responsible citizens.

Whether you use the event or not, thank you for what you do to preserve the environment.

Contact Judi Smith at RRRcyc2se@gmail.com with questions and comments. The next LWV & CRC meeting is 10 a.m. Wed. Dec. 5 at the EV Library (Wasson Room). The next LWVEP event is 10 a.m. Wed. Dec 12 at the EV Library (Hondius Room) “Land Use and Planning in the Estes Valley.”

Heroes In Our Community To The Editor: I want to thank first of all our Estes Valley Fire Protection District and Fire Chief David Wolf and John Jerome, along with police officers Chad and Robin, for arriving at my home at 3:40 a.m., when I reported a house fire. This is something no one wants, but if it happens to you, they are true heroes. The fire chief told me that if they hadn’t arrived, my home could have blown up in 15-20 minutes!

Then to help me re-build, I want to thank Best Way Painting, Tim and his new handyman Jim, were there first thing in the morning, he always answers his phone no matter time or day. He is reachable and always calls you as prom-

ised, no waiting, and his crew is dependable. His ads he puts in the paper, they do bathrooms, they do fence covers, etc., well they also saw wood for you, as I was running out of wood to heat my house. I’ve been without heat since last Tuesday, November 13.

Also thank you to Mountain Home Heating and Plumbing. Mark was also out to see the damage and they were fast to help order a new furnace. This is not a paid written advertisement, but a very grateful homeowner for some exceptional heroes we can be proud of.

I thank each of you, words cannot truely express.

Cynthia Deats Longtime resident of Estes Park, Cynthia Deats, passed away November 13, 2018, surrounded by her family.

Cyd, as many knew her, was born April 30, 1953, in Nebraska to James F. Banker, Sr. and Joan C. Cook. She and her family moved to Estes Park during the summer of 1966. Cyd graduated from Estes Park High School in 1971.

She married Steve Deats in the fall of 1974.

Her children, Erin Deats Tice and Dan Deats, and grandchildren, Mae and Austin Tice, were her greatest joy, Cyd enjoyed golfing, reading, hiking and creating stained glass, but above all, she loved spending time with her family. Cyd’s strong work ethic took her through several careers with prominent community employers including the Trail Gazette, Estes Park Bank, Park National Bank, Estes Park School District and retired from the Town of Estes Park as the Deputy Town Clerk.

She is preceded in death by her father, mother and brother, Patrick Banker. Cyd is survived by her husband, children and grandchildren as well as her siblings: James Banker and wife Dodi of Estes Park, CO; Sharon Schone and husband Dennis of Rapid City, SD; Barbara James of Lakewood, WA; and Patrick’s wife Amy of Centennial, CO. All who knew her loved her.

A Rosary and evening Vigil service will be held November 27th at 7 p.m. at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church. A funeral mass will be celebrated at Our Lady of the Mountains Church Wednesday, November 28th at 10 a.m. Memorial contributions may be made to the Quota Club of Estes Park in care of Allnutt Funeral Chapel, 1302 Graves Avenue, Estes Park, CO 80517. Please visit www.allnutt.com for service updates and to leave a message to Steven and family.

Arleigh Ashton On Friday, November 9, 2018, Arleigh Ashton peacefully passed away at her Estes Park home just shy of her 87th birthday.

Born in Green Bay, Wisconsin, she lived most of her life in Boulder Junction, part of the great Northwoods of Wisconsin. She shared many interests with her husband of nearly 69 years, Dick, including fishing, boating, snowmobiling and cross country skiing.

They were also involved in the town's historical society. Arleigh and Dick moved to Elizabeth, Colorado in 2004 to be closer to their daughter Kathie and son Scott. Perhaps the adventure of a lifetime was when they moved to Estes Park, Colorado in 2013 in the midst of historic flooding.

Arleigh was a very caring, strong, energetic and creative woman who rarely left things undone.

She lived a life we all strive for, happy and fulfilling and she had the gift of love throughout her long life. She will be deeply missed by those she leaves behind.

She is survived by husband Richard Ashton, daughter Kathleen (William) Fitzgerald, son Scott (Linda) Ashton, grandchildren Quint (Tasia) Ashton and Chantel Wood, as well as great grandchildren Sunny Ashton and Tyler and Kate Wood. Arleigh was preceded in death by two of her sons Mark and Gary Ashton. Burial will be in Boulder Junction, Wisconsin. Please visit www.allnutt.com to leave a message for the family.

• e budget for the ambulance maintenance alone is $52,000.00 annually. Two of the five, ambulances have over 200,000 miles on the odometer.

• 31% of the ambulance calls are for transfer of patients to hospitals out of the Estes Park area.

• e cost of a new fully equipped ambulance will be approximately $230,000.00.

Unlike many places, our ambulances are not supported by tax dollars. e Department of Emergency Services, through Estes Park Health, purchases these ambulances with the help of community funds and money set aside by the medical center for capital purchases. is

year, Guy Beasley FP-C, Director of EMS has obtained a Grant for $86,000.00, toward the purchase of a new ambulance and the hospital will match that amount. e remainder of the funds for this project will need to come from private donations.

It has always been the goal of the Estes Park Quota Club Foundation to keep our ambulance fleet strong and to help raise the additional funds needed for this endeavor. is is where we need your help!

Please take a moment to donate to the "ESTES PARK QUOTA CLUB FOUNDATION AMBLANCE FUND" and mail it in the envelope provided.

Donations to Estes Park Quota Club Ambulance Fund go directly toward the purchase of this 2019 ambulance. e Quota Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization, so your donation is tax deductible.

Now is the time! Won't you please help us, help our Community?

Newcomers continued from page 33. team and began to develop a concept.

The team started by working directly with the Town of Estes Park to develop ways to enhance their planned holiday events. Upon reaching an agreement with the Town, the group focused their energies on three key community events - the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony, photos with Santa the morning after Thanksgiving, and adding to the classic Santa float during the Catch The Glow Parade, featuring a large contingent of merry elves and festive holiday characters to lead Santa down the parade route.

Planning efforts then shifted to other opportunities, bringing the team’s creative energy and enthusiasm to partner with several local non-profit organizations.

And so... “We Believe in Estes Park” was born.

The result - Santa and his Newcomers Elves will be busy spreading holiday cheer to children, families and seniors across the community with the Estes Valley Library, the American Legion, the Estes Park Pet Association, the Lion’s

Club, and Estes Valley Recreation and Parks District.

The Estes Park Police Department has generously donated the use of their small cabin during the We Believe production.

The small structure located in the parking lot outside police headquarters has been transformed into the “We Believe Inn” - the home for Santa and his helpers during several photo-op events that are open to the public.

All funds donated during those photo sessions benefit Estes Park Explorer Post #911, a community program co-sponsored by the police department.

The Estes Park Newcomers Club invites all residents and visitors to join in these festive holiday celebrations…because we all “Believe in Estes Park!”

The Estes Park Newcomers Club is a social organization formed in 1965 to help new residents learn about this amazing mountain community and make new friends. The Club has an active membership of over 250 residents and hosts a wide range of events and activities for its members.

More information about the Estes Park Newcomers Club can be found at the Club’s website: www.EstesParkNewcomers.org.

The remaining events featuring the We Believe in Estes Park production include:
