epnews.com Whaddaya know about our neighbors to the north? No .. . not Wyomingers, or whatever they’re called. North! Real up north!! North of the border, the border where we stop and produce some identification to get across. It’s a big place – over 3.8 million square miles. Heck, even with Alaska and Hawaii our U.S. size is only slightly over 3.6 million.

Canada! The French handed the name down to us, or at least to our present northern neighbors, the current Canadians, but they didn’t invent it. Got it from the Hurons, who were an Iroquoian tribe.

So at least the name was native born.

That’s more than you can say for “America” which, I read, seems to have come from some German feller named Waldseemuller. But that just makes us wonder where he got it. (Even that it came from him is open to debate!)

We know all about 1492, the desire to get to the spices, silks, and jewelry of India and the countries of the Far East, and that Italian feller who, as did others, figured he could get to the East by going West but bumped into the Americas, et cetera et cetera. Actually our “European” history began centuries earlier when Norsemen reached Greenland and possibly North America, but any settlements which were created by them failed to survive.

Columbus wasn’t the only feller from Genoa, Italy. There was Giovanni Caboto, who worked for the king of England (which is why history books call him John Cabot) and whose discoveries in 1497 and ’98 of Newfoundland and Labrador entitle him to be considered the first European explorer of North America, and gave England a claim to northern America. Then the three voyages of Jacques Cartier beginning in 1534 established a French claim in what today is Canada.

Now before we go any further – a ONE question quiz. (Hopefully we’ll remember to put the answer at the end of this column.) If you go from Lower Canada to Upper Canada, in which compass direction do you go?

OK! Sixteen years before the landing of the Pilgrims in what we would come to call NEW England about 125 men (and women) from France landed near what is now Nova Scotia. You’ve probably figured that that means “New Scotland,” but it happens to be a province of Canada, not Great Britain. We in the U.S. have states; Canada has provinces!

To summarize seventeenth century Canadian history – and, because of brevity risk the wrath of any Canadians reading this article – both England and France made claims to lands along the north Atlantic coast. The English were primarily interested in fishing, and in 1585 even destroyed a Spanish fishing fleet off the coast of Newfoundland. (Of course, later further south they would be establishing what would become the thirteen American colonies.) Like the English the French had significant economic interests in mind. French Canadian settlers were seen by their government back in Europe as a source of income primarily through the trade in animal pelts obtained from native American tribes. Fur-

thermore they did not attract many settlers because this was not a land to be farmed, to produce a surplus of crops.

The first half of the 18th century was one of near constant warfare between France and England. By mid-century the fighting ended with the British victorious. And the Brits were pretty smart! In Canada they took charge at the top, and left the folks below to take care of themselves. French law and the French language were maintained in the French speaking part of Canada when in 1774 the British Parliament passed the Quebec Act. So, speaking perhaps tongue in cheek, if and when you go to that part of our northern neighbor you might want to bring along a pocket French-English dictionary. And now you know why BOTH the French and English languages are found on Canadian postage stamps.

Canadian history has to include some reference to what we call the American Revolution. Not all the folks in the thirteen colonies sought independence from Britain. Many of those who did not, and their number will never be determined, left the new country for other English speaking areas. Some went to the British West Indies.

A surprising number went to Canada.

One estimate is that some thirty-five thousand made their way to Nova Scotia, the Detroit area –- Detroit is, of course, a French word – and what is known as Upper Canada. It appears that immigration into French Canada peaked near the end of the 1600s. Therefore, by the time of the American Revolution few of the French Canadians had reason to consider Europe their “home.” We know that was true of the vast majority in our thirteen original states.

Which raises an interesting observation for “us Americans.” Here in the “States” we are Americans. Canadians will tell us so. They call themselves “Canadians.”

Our United States grew with additional states, but in Canada all remained under the political control of the British Parliament. Top officials – governors -- were appointed by that Parliament. They in turn would appoint legislative assemblies over which, in contrast to our practice, they had complete control. They could dissolve these legislatures, control finances, and veto bills. Overruling these governors, however, was the British Parliament.

The preceding just touches on the beginning of Canadian history, In 1866 delegates from the then three Canadian provinces met with British officials in London to discuss turning Canada into a confederation. Out of those meetings came the British North America Act. It did not grant complete independence to Canada, but it put Canadians in control of their own destiny: The Dominion of Canada!

More? Hopefully at some time in the future. Oh yes –the quiz question! Going from Lower Canada to Upper Canada?

You go SOUTHwest! Why then the names? You probably quickly figured it out – altitude above sea level!

Special District Elections To Follow Town Board Elections By: the League of Women Voters of Estes Park

Following the Estes Park Town Board elections to be held on April 5, five Special Districts will have openings on their boards and have recently posted a “Call for Nominations� public notice for elections slated for May 3, if needed.

The Estes Valley Recreation and Park District will have three board member openings, each serving a four-year term.

The Park Hospital District will have three board openings, each serving a four-year term and one board member opening serving a two-year term. The Upper Thompson Sanitation District

will have two board member openings, each serving a term of four years. The Estes Valley Fire Protection District will have two board openings, each serving a four-year term and the Estes Park Sanitation District will have two board openings, each serving a four-year term.

For those interested in running for one of these positions, self-nomination and acceptance forms can be obtained at the office of the Special District you are interested in serving. Candidates need to live within the Special District they are applying for. The Districts cover a much broader area than the Town of Estes Park, but you should check with your

Public Meeting On Trails Master Plan February 18 The second of three public meetings to review updates and continue the development of a trails master plan for the Estes Valley will be held Thursday, Feb. 18 from 4 p.m.-7 p.m. in Estes Park Town Hall.

Partner organizations in the trails master plan effort include the Town of Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Valley Land Trust, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, U.S. Forest Service, Larimer County, Bureau of Reclamation and YMCA of the Rockies.

The planning process aims to connect existing trail systems, evaluate new trail opportunities, and plan for safe facilities that will enhance bicycle and pedestrian mobility. The final trail plan, expected to be completed in early June, will ensure that new trail and facility development preserves and protects wildlife and natural habitat areas, serves youth and families and is complementary to recreational use on adjacent public lands.

Public outreach will continue to occur until mid-March through a number of outlets, including public meetings, news media, the EVRPD website, surveys and online engagement. The purpose of the upcoming open house is to present the master plan work that has been accomplished to date, including maps of conceptual trail connections.

To take the most-recent surveys, receive updates and provide feedback, visit

the project web site, www.estesvalleytrails.com. Surveys will be open until March 15, 2016.

district on all eligibility requirements.

The deadline to submit a Self-Nomination and Acceptance form is close of business on February 26, 2016.

Each of the Special Districts serves our Estes Valley and is funded by either a mill levy (Park Hospital District, Estes Valley Recreation and Park District, and the Estes Valley Fire Protection District) or through user fees or service charges (Upper Thompson Sanitation District and Estes Park Sanitation District). We strongly encourage citizen participation in local government and serving on one of these boards is a great opportunity to help shape the future of our community.

I played soccer my entire life – well, since second grade. I started with ballet, moved to a brief stint with softball, and then settled with soccer. It became my passion and so much of our lives (I say “our” because my parents’ worlds also revolved around it, thank you Mom & Dad) was done with soccer in mind. There were practices, games, club teams, tournaments, pasta dinners, skills training, team building, on- and off-season conditioning, tryouts, countless re-readings of Mia Hamm’s “Go For The Goal”… Besides academics – and sometimes, in place of academics – soccer was my top priority through elementary, middle, and high school.

I have scrapbooks full of photos (action shots on the field, team candids, official Senior Night pictures), favorite quotes (“train hard and you’ll not only be hard, you’ll be hard to beat”), dried and pressed four-leaf-clovers I stumbled upon during long summer day camps (one day, I found three!). I remember championship games at state tournaments, grueling speedwork and conditioning during preseason, and multiple concussions but not even one broken bone. The thing I remember the most, though, is the sense of family I felt with my team.

Girls’ soccer was popular and competitive in suburban Chicago. Playing on a club (or “travel”) team was the norm and our high school conference was one of the best in the nation. That meant that I

played with consistent and dedicated group of girls from the start of my career through my senior year of high school.

We spent hours each day, several days each week, most weeks out of the year, training and playing together, learning how to be a team. We had sleepovers and team pool parties, summer barbeques and smoothie dates after particularly hard practices. Their friendship, support, commitment, and sacrifice for our team, our unit, was the best memory of all those years I have playing center defensive back.

That concept of being a team, of being part of something bigger than just you, feels really good. I was reminded of it this past week while watching the Super Bowl (with a great crowd of Estes Park locals!) and then while attending the Broncos championship parade in Denver on Tuesday. Being surrounded by people who want the same end goal – and who cheer on and commit to helping that goal become reality in any way they can, regardless of the role they play – makes us feel supported and encouraged. While I miss my “soccer girls,” I have enjoyed being a part of this team: the Estes Park community. Oh, and Broncos Nation, of course.

Kirby Hazelton and her husband Jordan live in Estes Park with their dog Harley.

epnews.com We are a month and a half into the new year and deep in the bluster of winter.

More snow is predicted in the next few days despite the fact that we’re already peeking around the corner for the pickme-up of spring—still months and months away, doggone it.

I’m not sure which one, but either Calvin or Hobbes said from the confines of their comic strip box, “I like these cold, gray winter days. Days like these let you savor a bad mood.” We all have them from time to time. Yes, the cold, gray winter days, but I’m talking about bad moods.

It used to be that being in a bad mood made me grumpy. “Dad-gummit,” I would say. “Another bad mood. Being crotchety is making me downright testy!”

But I’ve come around. I’ve figured out that when a bad mood uses its cold feet to push me to the wrong side of the bed, I might as well enjoy the confounded heck out of it.

For those who need further clues in the crabby department, here’s what I’m talking about: A bad mood is the perfect excuse to get out and do something for yourself. This past week for example, with the hint of the surlies coming on, I decided to buy myself a bar of soap. Not that I needed it—I have a basket full of soaps in the cupboard above the commode. I collect them from places I’ve stayed during my travels. Round bars, square bars, big bars, tiny bars. Soap.

Soap. Soap. I had soap. But I’ve been lusting after a Zum Bar ever since I first caught a waft from the Indigo Wild store display a year and a half ago. I needed to buy a Zum Bar because I already had soap. It was important that the irascible me take the frugal, I’m-not-worth-it me to the store to treat myself to a sexy bar of soap.

I bet there were two dozen scents to choose from. I looked left, I looked right.

I picked up a bar of soap and held it to my nose. I breathed deeply. Ahhhh. If it had smelled any more natural, I would have felt naked. I held a few more

scented bars to my nose, one at a time, and then I had to walk away to clear my palate. Several times I did this.

You’d think this selection process might have added to my grumpiness quotient, or drawn attention from the guy stocking shelves nearby, who might have called security because some crazy lady kept leaving aisle 7 and then coming back, leaving, coming back. Having a security guard show up to help me with my soap selection would have definitely made me more peevish. But the stock boy was in a hurry and didn’t notice me so security wasn’t alerted. I was left alone to imagine my mood after showering with each of the scents. I felt luxuriously pampered, there in the beauty aisle between the deodorant and the cotton balls and all I’d done was sniff soap. I settled on two Zum Bars—lavender mint with purple and green swirls, and grapefruit—with a more subtle color scheme of mauve and tan, swirled together like caramel sauce on dulce de leche ice cream.

After a few showers with my Zum Bar goat milk soap, my whole bathroom smells delish—organic and fresh (by the way, Zum rhymes with bum). And I’m not in a bad mood anymore. My soap’s brought good juju and now I skip to my Lou. Now I believe in Lucy and Ricky. I believe there was definitely room for Jack on that floating door. I believe that spurs should jingle, jangle, jingle. I believe the Stones got it wrong when they said, “You can’t always get what you want.” I believe in never eating airport food. Except McDonald’s chocolate dipped ice cream cones. I believe in your mom. I believe in not wasting a single ounce of soap. I believe in good, good, good, good vibrations.

I believe in me. Grumpy free.

February Estes Park Archives Program

The local "Native American model" for this campy Clatworthy autochrome, staged for public consumption and the prevailing tastes of less-enlightened audiences of the time, was only recently identified.

Photograph courtesy Mark Jacobs

Estes Park's most prominent photographer in the 1920s and 1930s was Fred Payne Clatworthy, Sr., whose career was launched by a visit of Republican presidential candidate Charles Evans Hughes to the Stanley Hotel 100 years ago, in 1916.

Clatworthy's natural color photographs of the traveling party earned the admiration of Hughes, which opened doors at headquarters of the National Geographic magazine in Washington, D.C., where Hughes served on the board of the National Geographic Society, and launched Clatworthy on an annual winter lecture tour to the major cities along the Atlantic seaboard, where he introduced audiences to the scenic wonders of the West.

At these lectures, Clatworthy projected true color images onto a large screen, using a high-powered projector and specialized photographic plates. The plates were known as autochromes, delicate glass panes coated with a thin layer of dyed potato-starch grains, invented and manufactured by the Lumiere brothers in France.

Ultimately, until autochromes were replaced by the less technically demanding color film manufactured by Agfa and Kodak in the late 1930s, Clatworthy became the most adept American photographer in the autochrome field. Clatworthy himself claimed he took more than 10,000 autochromes in his lifetime. Despite their fragile nature and Clatworthy's exacting standards, which may have led him to destroy suboptimal plates later in life, a large number of Clatworthy autochromes

survive. In fact, over 2000 Clatworthy autochromes are currently divided between large institutions and private collections, and it seems likely others are held by Clatworthy collectors unaware of their significance.

This summer, photo-historian Mark Jacobs of Madison, Wisconsin, the largest private collector of Clatworthy autochromes, will visit Colorado and reintroduce the Front Range to these jaw-dropping images, which are nearly impossible to display and, prior to the advent of advanced scanners, difficult to accurately reproduce.

In order to take full advantage of Mr. Jacobs visit, the Estes Park Archives will, over the coming months, give previews and primers related to the autochrome process and Clatworthy's travels. Early Estes Park newspapers are one previously untapped resource to help identify and date these autochromes, many of which are unlabeled. Clatworthy was his own best press agent, and routinely updated the Estes Park newspapers on his whereabouts, either to give a program or to obtain more pictures.

The first Estes Park Archive program introducing Fred Payne Clatworthy, Sr., and the autochrome process will be held at 250 Moraine Avenue on Saturday, February 20 beginning at 1:00 p.m. No reservations are necessary, and, as with all Archives programs, there is no charge to attend. Estes Park residents as well as first-time visitors are cordially invited. Please call 970-215-2111 for more details.

Free Tax Assistance Free tax preparation assistance is being offered by AARP Tax-Aide from now through April 14th at the Estes Valley Library. This program is primarily for taxpayers with low- to middle-income with special attention given to persons age 60 and older. Appointments can be made by calling 586-8116.

“Legendary Locals” (Part II Of IV): “The Dannels Family And Estes Park” On Friday, February 19 at 2:00 p.m., Steve Mitchell will present for the second time in a series of programs through May called "Legendary Locals of Estes Park." His book of the same title, scheduled to be published in April, 2016, explores the history of the unique individuals and groups, both past and present that made a memorable impact on Estes Park. All of the Legendary Locals programs in the series are free and no reservations are required to attend. Drive by the Dannels Fire Station and you may ask who is Dannels and why is his name on the Fire Station? The quality of the workmanship and stonework is apparent in hundreds of homes and dozens of businesses built by H.D. Dannels and Sons. Henry Dannels ran an Allenspark saw mill and later helped build the Crags and Stanley Hotels. Henry and Josephine Dannels moved to Estes Park in 1936 where he served on the Town Board for 20 years. For their son Bernie Dannels' high school graduation present, his parents gave him a carpenter starter kit and made him a business partner.

Once Henry stepped off the Board, Bernie stepped on and served for 12 years on the Town Board, known as the "Plaid Mayor."

Bernie's wife Glenna was also an important figure in Estes Park. After starting the art program in Estes Park schools, she opened Spectrum in 1969.

Spectrum was a gallery, studio and school wrapped into one. At its peak, the gallery featured more than 400 Colorado artists.

The Legendary Locals program series will take place at 2:00 p.m. on the following dates: February 19: “The Dannels Family and Estes Park” March 18: “Lennie Bemiss, Harriet Burgess and Estes Park History” April 22: “A Pair of Tims” - Tim Asbury & Tim Mayhew (in the Tebow Room at

“Single Women Homesteaders In Estes Park” Program On February 20 On Saturday, February 20 at 2:00 p.m. Marcia Hensley the author of “Staking Her Claim: Women Homesteading the West” will present on the stories of real female homesteaders of Estes Park. Tourists were not the only people attracted to the Estes Park area in the early years of the twentieth century. Drawn by the beauty of the mountains, as well as by their hopes for a better life, numerous single women took advantage of The Homestead Act as a way to become owners of mountain property. Challenged by the climate and scarcity of suitable farming land, they found creative ways to support themselves and to prove up their homestead claims. This presentation will discuss why approximately 12 percent of homesteaders at the turn-of-the-century were single women, focusing on Author Marcia Hensley Homesteader Ana Wolfrom Dove on the steps of her homestead cabin.

the colorful stories of four independent women who wrote about their homesteading experiences near Estes Park: Anna Wolfrom Dove, Katherine Garetson, Esther Burnell, and Amanda Blocker Byrd.

This is a free program and no reservations are required to attend. The Estes Park Museum conducts activities that preserve, share and respect the unique history of Estes Park. For more information, call the Estes Park Museum at 970-586-6256 or visit the Museum’s website at www.estes.org/museum.

Dr. Bergland Running For Park Hospital District Board Of Trustees Dr. Bert Bergland, DO, board-certified family physician with 40 years of medical practice experience, and a long-time resident of Estes Park, is announcing his candidacy for Park Hospital District trustee. Given his lifetime of interest and years of service to EPMC, Dr. Bergland believes he can offer insights and direction many others have not and cannot.

With his primary focus on patient care, his dedication to patient advocacy, and particularly on emergency care, he has a knowledge and insight that is unique and critically needed if EPMC is to financially survive and grow. As a critical element in the region, EPMC must be made stronger and more viable.

Dr. Bergland has a long and compelling professional and personal history associated with the medical center and Estes Park. Since first coming permanently to Estes Park in 1979 to open his medical practice, Dr. Bergland has dedicated himself to the initial development and growth of EPMC. Serving as Chief of the EPMC Medical Staff, Director of EPMC Emergency Services, and as a member of the Board at a time when Elizabeth Knutson Memorial Hospital was in its infancy, he is one of the visionaries who led it through its first, decisive and determinate years of development.

Major contributions in which Bergland played a decisive and influential role in the growth and maturing of the hospital included the building of Prospect Park Nursing Home, the original Family Clinic construction, the retirement homes, the expansion of the hospital clinical lab, birthing center, and the inception of the specialty clinic concept.

However, the accomplishment for which Dr. Bergland is proudest is his principal, founding role in creation of the paramedic EMS system, and advancement of emergency medical care at EPMC, taking it from a very basic oneambulance operation in 1979, to an advanced life support, paramedic staffed emergency medical service, and the precursor of the present day, high-quality emergency service we have today. As one of the first such rural systems in Colorado, the EPMC EMS became a model for such rural systems state-wide. Today, the EPMC and Hospital District offer the highest quality, professional, advanced rural EMS services comparable to the best anywhere in the nation.

“To see the current paramedic EMS system, the result of what we initiated 37 years ago, is one of the singularly most gratifying accomplishments in my 40year medical career,” remarks Dr. Bergland. “Our current ED and EMS staff, along with the EMS capability of our fire service, is one of our greatest community assets, and deserves our gratitude and strong support.”

In addition to his prior hospital board trustee 4-year term in the 1980s, Dr. Bergland has been a member of the Park National Bank Board of Directors, Medical Director of Harmony Foundation, a member of Harmony Foundation’s Board of Directors, Medical Director for RMNP, Larimer County Deputy Medical

Examiner, physician member on multiple professional medical peer review boards in Colorado, was founder of High Country Medical Clinic at Aspenwood Professionals, and PriMed-plus Urgent Care Center in Colorado Springs.

Dr. Bergland was also a board member of SOPA (precursor to EPIC), and the Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies. He performed in over two dozen Fine Arts Guild productions, has been a member of St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, Rotary Club, Mountain Men, Uncommon Connection, and Oratorio. He and his wife, Marti, raised three children in Estes, one of whom was born at EPMC in 1983.

“When I first served on the Board of Trustees three decades ago, I viewed myself an advocate for patients. My attitude has not changed. What we as benefactors of this hospital district need most is someone who has as his first priority and primary focus the best interests of the individual patient, someone who can view our present and future needs from a medical provider perspective, keeping in mind the threat to personal medical care by the juggernaut of corporate driven ideology and government intrusion that has increasingly tainted the doctor-patient relationship, and endangers quality care at every turn. Medical care has always been and always will be a personal interaction, not with an institution, not with insurance companies, not with government, not with large medical care corporations, but with one doctor, and one patient at a time. The EPMC exists to benefit this personal relationship between doctor and patient, without which EPMC has no justification to exist. Every decision made by this Board must focus on that personal nature of medical care, and make each decision based on what is best for individual patients, rather than what is best for the institution.”

Bergland continues, “I strongly believe that if such focus is maintained, the hospital cannot possibly fail. If, on the other hand, focus is on nothing but financial and edifice growth first, failure is inevitable. I would sincerely appreciate and humbly ask for your vote and support.”

Know The Answers By Heart February Is American Heart Month By: Kerrie Hill - EPMC

The statistics are alarming! Cardiovascular disease is the leading global cause of death, accounting for more than 17.3 million deaths per year, a number that is expected to grow to more than 23.6 million by 2030.

Coronary heart disease is the nation’s single leading cause of death. Heart disease is the number one cause of death among American women. American Heart Month is designed to raise awareness about heart disease and the importance of knowing the warning signs of a heart attack and signs of cardiac arrest.

A heart attack occurs when the blood supply to part of the heart muscle (the myocardium) is severely reduce or stopped be-

cause one or more of the heart’s arteries is blocked. The process usually begins with atherosclerosis, the buildup of fatty deposits (plaque) inside artery walls. The plaque can rupture, causing a blood clot to form and block the artery. If the blood supply is cut off for more than a few minutes, heart muscle cells suffer permanent injury or die.

Know the warning signs. Some heart attacks are sudden and intense, but most start slowly with mild pain or discomfort. Of ten people affected aren’t sure what’s wrong and wait too long before getting help. The following are signs that can mean a heart attack is happening: • Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that last more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.

• Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.

• Shortness of breath. Unusual or different or more severe than normal • Other signs: These may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.

If you or someone you are with has chest discomfort, especially with one or more of the other signs don’t wait longer than five minutes before calling for help – CALL 911.

“Calling 911 is almost always the fastest way to get lifesaving treatment,”

said Mike Bielmaier, Director of Emergency Medical Services at Estes Park Medical Center. “Our Emergency Medical staff can begin treatment when we arrive – up to an hour sooner than if someone gets to the hospital by car.

Don’t drive! Stay alive! Driving yourself or a loved one to the hospital is dangerous because it is essentially “distracted driving.” If you lose consciousness behind the wheel, others will likely be injured. If your loved one loses consciousness or goes into cardiac arrest while you are driving, you will likely cause an accident trying to help or get pulled over. If you “just drive faster” you will reduce the likelihood of survival by not providing CPR. EPMC ambulance staff is trained to revive someone whose heart has stopped.

Patients will be able to get treated faster in the hospital if they are transported by ambulance.” “Heart attacks are definitely one area where we can have a

huge impact on and usually have a positive outcome in the end.” Early Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation within the first three to five minutes after collapse, plus early advanced care can result in high (greater than 50%) long-term survival rates.

AED’s or Automated External Defibrillators are computerized devices are used

by EPMC’s ambulance crew. They are attached to the victim and the equipment analyzes the victim’s heart rhythm, determines if a defibrillation shock is needed, then prompt the rescuer to “clear” the victim and deliver a shock.

The ambulance crew is here to help.

Even if that means checking you over and helping you make care decisions.

There is never a charge for a “checkup.”

Lifestyle changes such as those listed below are important in maintaining your health and lowering the risk of heart problems. See your doctor and learn your risk factors and what to do.

Risk Reduction for heart attack and stroke: What you can do on your own: • Don’t use tobacco • Be physically active • Eat healthy foods • Watch your weight • Avoid excessive alcohol What you can do with your physician’s help: • Schedule regular checkups • Control your cholesterol • Keep tabs on your blood pressure

Save The Racquetball Court To The Editor: Estes Park has one racquetball court. It is on the lower level of the Rocky Mountain Health Club. We have been informed that because a small percentage of the membership use it, the court will be re-purposed.

Next to the racquetball court there is a squash/half basketball court. It is also scheduled to go away.

That "small" percentage of us who play chose the RMHC because of those courts. My family has paid memberships for 7+ years, and although we use the court only once a week (less in the summer because we are outside) having them is very important. Playing racquetball has great therapeutic benefits and is easily less expensive than marriage counseling – making a joke, here, folks.

Actually, we are the ideal health club members (similar to those who sign up for a year's membership in January but don't go after early-February), because we do a variety of things to stay healthy.

Cross training I think they call it. We do weights and the treadmills (when it is not comfortable to run/walk outside), but we would rather be outside or take yoga with Liz or play a game like racquetball (softball in summer) than stay on a repetitious routine of dreaded exercise.

This means we pay but use the club in an ancillary way...less wear and tear on the facility, if you will. We pay for the variety so that we are more likely to keep working out. Staying healthy is a priority in our budgets.

Unfortunately, we are hearing that the

owner's bottom line is the issue. We just don't believe that putting in more machines or moving the spin class to the courts will automatically add to revenues.

In theory perhaps it seems that more machines in more places will increase the number of people because there are more places for people to use machines.

Simple logic... well, maybe not. We think that Estes folks who pay for memberships care about the quality of their lives, including their exercise lives. And variety is an important component of quality.

We hope that the new owner will figure out a way to keep what is ONLY available at RMHC. One court could be repurposed while the other remains. Or a court could be used for a class in the morning and open to racquetball players in the afternoon.

The bottom line can be reached if creativity and accommodation are part of the equation.

More does not mean better. There is no reason to choose RMHC if it has nothing unique and so "therapeutic" to offer.

We are hopeful that there is an intelligent solution.

A MORE IMPORTANT EVENT THAN THE SUPER BOWL? It was Super Bowl weekend. Our Broncos were playing…and would eventually win. On Saturday I met a man whom I would have expected to be in Santa Clara for the big game. Rex Walker attended most of the Broncos home games and had season tickets and, on most weekends, would have probably attended the championship game. But this weekend was different.

When I voiced my surprise at seeing him he said, simply, “I had a more important event to attend.” What could be more important than being at the Super Bowl Game when your team is playing for the NFL championship? The Boy Scout Pinewood Derby at the YMCA! Rex had grandchildren competing in the Derby and, as a result, it was the ‘more important event’ because of them and what scouting is doing for them and others. And what’s that? I needed to be reminded too!

Since I was attending this ‘most important event’ too, Cody Walker, who is very active in scouting in the Estes Park area, asked me to lead a prayer for the ‘race day’. Prior to that prayer we all stood at attention to watch the ‘Presentation of the Colors’ by one of the troops and to listen to these young men and involved parents recite the Boy Scout Oath and Law. It reminded me of a time long ago when I was a Cub Scout and how blessed I had been by that experience.

I was moved as I listened to the Oath and the Law that stated the ideals that these boys and family members espoused for themselves and society. I thought how wonderful it would be if all of us, including national and community leaders, would hold and exemplify these same ideals. I thought it might be appropriate to put these qualities on a ‘checklist’ to evaluate candidates currently running for political office, both locally and nationally. We could likely very quickly eliminate some whose faces and names we are being bombarded with in preparation for the upcoming elections. But, back to scouting, Wes Kufeld, Estes Park’s Police Chief and a Life Scout will address “Scouting as a solid foundation for leadership”. I urge all aspiring to prepare our youth for leadership to hear his message.

In the meantime, let me share with you the Scouting Oath and Law, and encourage us to strive harder to adopt these values for ourselves and our children. Read them…perhaps repeat them…as possible goals that you will strive for in your daily activities and life. They say: “On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law”, which says: “A scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Reverent.” The Oath adds: “I will do my best to help other people at all times, to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.” What great goals for every young…and older …life!

How we wish, as we note news events of our day, that every person, young and old, in our society would commit to these qualities. Ralph Waldo Emerson once noted: “The true test of a civilization is not the census, the size of its cities, the crops, but is the kind of person the country turns out.”

Judging by the scouts I saw at the Derby, I think, where they are concerned, we are ‘passing that test’.

Like to explore scouting for your children? Contact Cody Walker or one of Estes Park’s scouting families and they will be happy to show you how.

Make Your Gift And Eat It Too: Charitable Gifts With Life Income Bob and Mary recently retired and moved to Estes Park from Wisconsin.

Bob was a successful middle manager and Mary taught school. Years ago they had purchased and managed a little rental property in their home town. It was now fully depreciated and too far away to manage well. They would have a huge capital gain tax bill if they sold. Bob and Mary were charitably minded.

They learned from Estes Valley Legacy about a charitable remainder unitrust. They placed the property in the trust. The trust sold it completely free of capital gain, avoiding $75,000 in taxes. They received a charitable deduction with the potential of saving them $96,000 in income taxes over as much as six years. And they will receive annual income of $37,500 for the rest of their lives.

When Bob and Mary are gone, their favorite Estes Valley charities will share a little over $1,000,000, distributed from the remaining principal of the trust.

The story is fictitious, but the numbers are real.

And you can learn how any highly appreciated asset, whether stocks or real estate, can be turned into a current tax advantage, life time income and, ultimately a gift to charity.

Estes Valley Legacy presents, Make Your Gift and Eat it, Too!-Charitable Gifts that Include Life Income, Wednesday, February 24, 6:30-8:00 p.m. in the Hondius Room at the Estes Valley Library. For more information, contact Jerry Kennell, administrator of Estes Valley Legacy at estesvalleylegacy@gmail.com or (970) 480-7703. Estes Valley Legacy includes 11 local nonprofit organizations and is a program of Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center.

Ride The Rockies Rolls Out 2016 Route For 31st Annual Tour Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park on the route.

The Denver Post Ride The Rockies Bicycle Tour presented by ViaWest is excited to announce the route for its annual summer event. The 2016 ride will take place over six days from Sunday, June 12 to Friday, June 17.

The 31st edition of Ride The Rockies will showcase the communities of Carbondale, Aspen, Copper Mountain, first-time host Grand Lake, Estes Park and Fort Collins. Beginning in the heart of the Roaring Fork Valley and concluding on the scenic Front Range, cyclists will cover 403 miles and ascend nearly 30,000 vertical feet. Keeping to tradition, the course will feature some of Colorado’s most scenic and breathtaking views and travel some of the state’s most iconic roadways. Highlights will include Independence Pass, Fremont Pass, Tennessee Pass, Vail Pass, Ute Pass and high alpine Trail Ridge Road through Rocky Mountain National Park.

“In 2015 our cyclists hailed from all 50 states and 11 countries,” said Chandler Smith, Tour Director. “We’re truly an international event with deep roots in Colorado’s communities.”

“Ride The Rockies is an unforgettable experience for the participants, volun-

teers and host towns across the state,” said Jason Carolan, Chief Technology Officer of ViaWest. “We are proud to be a part of a tradition that gives athletes the opportunity to experience the beauty of our state and the hospitality of our people, all while giving back to the community.”

Local hotels, restaurants and retailers in each host community benefit from an estimated $250,000 in economic impact every day of the tour. Increasing this impact, The Denver Post Community Foundation, in partnership with Wells Fargo, will award a $5,000 grant to a nonprofit organization in each host town.

For over three decades, Ride The Rockies has showcased some of the state’s most beautiful regions, a stewardship made possible by countless volunteers, loyal sponsors, dedicated partners and gracious host communities.

Registration Cyclists must register for the event online at ridetherockies.com. Applications will be accepted February 7 – February 28. Applicants will be noti-

fied of their standing on March 4.

Training Resources Ride The Rockies is a non-competitive event but training is strongly encouraged. Training information is available online and training packages are available through Carmichael Training Systems.

Prologue The 2016 Ride The Rockies Prologue Experience will take place Friday, June 10 – Sunday, June 12 in Aspen, CO. Fifty participants may bypass the lottery and ride, wine and dine with cycling celebrities. The prologue ride will cover 47 miles with an estimated 3,632’ elevation gain, touring Pitkin County and the Roaring Fork Valley.

Charitable Contributions Proceeds from Ride The Rockies and its ancillary events benefit The Denver Post Community Foundation that serves to improve and enrich the lives of those in our community by raising and distributing funds to metro-area and Colorado nonprofit agencies serving the areas of arts, youth, education and human services.

This Saturday & Sunday Is “Rails In The Rockies” Model Railroad Train Show The 19th Rails in the Rockies Model Railroad Train Show sponsored by the Estes Valley Model Railroaders, will be at the convention center in the Rocky Mountain Park Inn, located at the junction of Highways 36 & 7, 101 S. St. Vrain Ave. (Hwy 7).

The show will take place this Saturday, Feb. 13 from 9-5; and Sunday, Feb. 14, from 9-4. Admission for adults is just $5, youth 12 & under are free with adult.

This will be an exciting event for the entire family.

Outstanding model railroad layouts cover 16,000 square feet of exhibit space.

Notable are the popular LEGO layout that changes yearly, layouts of various scales that represent railroad history from across the country, unique layouts

by Colorado modelers, and several layouts devoted to children.

Children may run a train themselves at the children’s interactive model exhibit.

Other children’s activities include a Seek and Search game of the railroad exhibits, with prizes on completion, and a drawing for youth (16 and under) that will give away four train sets this year.

For train enthusiasts, the show provides interactive

clinics on how to make model railroad items, from track layouts, to scenery, model building, model weathering, and tree construction.

Model trains, accessories, posters, railroad art and memorabilia may be purchased from 30 vendors.

The show site is comfortable and accessible. Parking is free. Food is available onsite. If desired, there are rooms in the hotel on site.

Don’t miss Rails in the Rockies!

Girl Scout Cookies Are Here!

Girl Scouts Have Carloads Available For Immediate Purchase! right?

When girls participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, they get more than new adventures. They develop important life skills—goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics—that will set them up for success beyond anything they can imagine. In each level of Girl Scouting, cookie business badges and financial literacy badges are The Kickoff has taken place, the cookies delivered to the troops and the girls, and Estes Park Girl Scouts are eager to get the sale off to a great start this year. Four troops from Brownies through Cadettes will be selling cookies all over town - booth sales, individual sales, special events, to family and friends.

What kind of cookies do we have this year? Savannah Smiles, Trefoils, Samoas, DoSiDos, Tagalongs and the all-time favorite Thin Mints are featured this year. In addition, Toffee-tastic, the gluten-free specialty are still available on a limited basis. The cost is $4.00 per box, and the gluten-free cookies are $5.50 per box. Think about it – you can “bundle” your cookies by buying 5 boxes for $20.00. That’s about the price of lunch most days,

available to earn.

When you buy Girl Scout Cookies, you help fund new adventures and lifechanging opportunities for girls—from trips to our nation's capital to community projects, summer camp, and charitable donations. The more cookies you buy, the more you help today’s girls develop into tomorrow’s leaders.

At last Sunday’s Cookie Kickoff event, Estes Park’s Girl Scouts got a chance to sample all the different types of cookies, play Cookie Twister, design and decorate a Cookie Booth Tri-Fold display and create cookie boards to wear and wave to attract attention to their sales.

They also got a chance to learn how to make change, how to count money and good practices of goal-setting and financial management.

When I asked the girls what

their goals were for this year’s sales, most of them said they were still thinking about the totals they were going for. But, nearly all of them could look at the attractive awards that were given out for all the various levels of sales. From cute hats, stuffed animals and beach gear to “cookie credits” that can help girls attend camp or Destinations or special events, there was no lack of incentive for girls to be out and about in a once-a-year selling frenzy.

Almost all of the girls mentioned, too, that they were hoping to obtain cash donations from folks which are used to purchase cookies for a wide variety of “Hometown Heroes,” such as the Fire Department, nursing home, church groups, needy families, or other nonprofit groups that benefit all of us.

In the weeks to come I’ll be bringing you more information about Girl Scout cookies in general as well as the history of the cookie program and maybe even a recipe or two that you can make to transform your cookies into magical delicacies, just like on the cooking shows!

Please look for the girls and their leaders to be out and about at various locations throughout the next month or so.

If you don’t see a smiling face or aren’t contacted directly, please contact Estes Park’s Cookie Chair, Breeyan Edwards at 970 646 6555. And thanks for supporting Girl Scouts.

“He explained that there is a school right here in Denver,” she said. “After some careful consideration, I decided to just go for it. And a few weeks later I found myself enrolled in the World Wide College of Auctioneering.”

Auctioneer school was pretty strenuous,

The school offered instruction from many different areas of specialization including livestock, automobiles, real estate and benefit fundraisers. Repine also received instruction on auction law and online auctions.

“All of the instructors were leaders in their specific auction professions,” she said. Since finishing school Repine has started her own auction business: "The Mountains Are Calling Auction Services."

High School Sports Medicine Class Is A Community Effort ical center provided lunch for our students as well as shirts and water bottles. They had one last activity, which was being able to visit with medical professionals about their career pathways. Students were able to ask specific questions and get a better idea of what it takes to become different medical professionals. The five areas of focus were Emergency Medical Services, Nursing, Pharmacy, Physicians, and Therapists. Our students walked away from this experience very excited.

By: Pamela Frey

This year will be the third year that Sports Medicine has been offered at Estes Park High School and each year it has gotten a little bigger and better. So much of that is thanks to the amazing community support for this program. The class originated as an outreach class that was held after school hours. This year is the first year we have been able to offer the class in the normal school day.

One of our partners for this class has been Estes Park Medical Center. For the last three years they have put together a sports injury simulation for our students. This starts in the high school gym with a simulated sports injury. Students get to work side by side with profession-

als to help stabilize and transport patients to the hospital. Once they arrive at the hospital, they travel through each department just like a patient would. While we were in the Emergency Room, Dr. Meyers and Dr. Florence along with many of the nurses in the emergency department explained what they would be doing for patients and why. Students

Jorge Perez 12th Grade Congratulations to Jorge Perez, Student of the Week for February 12, 2016.

In addition to his classroom activities, Jorge enjoys soccer and baseball, and he is the Vice President of Interact Club and Vice President of the Environmental Club.

Outside of school, Jorge enjoys doing things with his friends like bowling, going to youth group, watching movies or going to games.

After high school Jorge plans on going to go to UCCS in Colorado Springs which he has received a $10,000 scholarship to attend.

Jorge’s favorite quote is "A person's a person, no matter how small" because he says, “It reminds me that every individual should be respected.”

Reel Mountain Theater has also graciously donated two movie passes to our Student of the Week!

were able to see x-rays and brain scans that represented the mock injuries of the patients brought in. After the ER, students were able to see where the CT scan and MRI’s take place. Next, students were shown what goes on in the operating room and they got a great demonstration of what has to happen to make sure the operating environment is sterile. After the operating room, students moved on to visit with nurses about inpatient care after surgery. Finally, students were able to see some of the activities in physical therapy that are used to help patients recover.

After the simulation was over, the med-

“I'm very grateful to have had this opportunity,” stated EPHS senior Regina Pierce. “It's exciting to be interested in medicine, get a sneak peak into what real medical professionals do, and leave the simulation even more interested.” The rest of the semester is also filled with community experts sharing what they know with our kids. Curt Weibel, one of the founding experts of the class, will be presenting this Friday on concussion and head trauma in sports as well as a variety of other topics throughout the semester. Other experts involved are Bryon Holmes from MedX presenting on lower back, hip and groin injuries as well as icing and some physiology; Janet Bielmaier for CPR certification; Theresa Oja for impact concussion testing; EPMC EMS for scenario training; Ravit Michener for massage therapy; Jennifer Sauers and Annie Slack from Mountain Top for physical therapy; Melissa Roberts for acupuncture; Jacqui Chiplin for lower body and posture massage therapy; Dr. Florence for orthopedics; Scott Bockelman for chiropractic care; Dr. Taylor as a foot specialist; Dr. Dumont for athletic training and sports physiology; Terry Chiplin for athletic training; and Monica Annicks and Linda Luzania on pharmacy and the effects of medicine on the body.

There are many community partnerships involved in order to make this high school class happen. Teaching and training from experts in the field provide the students with a genuine learning experience, which may give them a foundation for future career pathways as they go onto college and/or into the work force.

Brandon Wood

Danielle Hermon Wood

Haley Dove

Anyone who does not like to have his or her heartstrings tugged should avoid the next Peak to Peak concert on Saturday, February 13 at 2:00 p.m. at Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran Church (SMLC), 2000 Ptarmigan Trail. The four professional singers (who are also professional heart-string tuggers), Haley Dove (soprano), Malcolm Ulbrick (baritone), Brandon Wood (tenor), and Danielle Hermon Wood (soprano), with their excellent pianist, John Boggs, are calling their pre-Valentine’s day concert, “Love Is in the Air.” Love will be in the air, and just in time.

The first five songs, all on the classical side, begin with Haley Dove, as Pamina, in Mozart’s The Magic Flute, rejoicing to hear that Tamino is in love with her. Haley’s passion for expressing a character’s depth and emotion has allowed her to perform principal roles with CU Opera in main stage productions as well as opera scenes. Now she will project that passion at SMLC. As Pamina, she offers sympathy and hope to Papageno, who longs for a wife, the role sung by Malcolm Ulbrick. Together they reflect on the joys and sacred duties of marital love. Danielle Hermon Wood and Brandon Wood will sing the next duet, which depicts another married couple, Rosalinde and Einstein, singing The Watch Duet, from Strauss’ Die Fleideramaus.

The fourth song in this set, is Malcolm’s beautiful rendition of Horace Tabor’s Warm as the Autumn Light, which is a response to Baby Doe’s Willow Song from The Ballad of Baby Doe, a favorite slice of Colorado’s history. The whole ensemble will finish this classical set with Verdi’s Bella figlia dell' amore, the quartet from Rigoletto.

The entire quartet is remarkable, but

Danielle and Brandon Wood bring the greatest wealth of national and international experience in opera and other venues to this local concert. Danielle has performed as a backup singer for Sting in his SiriusXM Radio Concert and has performed leading roles with regional opera companies throughout the United States. She was a featured soloist in Japan and Singapore, and her voice was heard on commercials for Sprint. She is also the Music Director at Bixby School in Boulder. Locally, Danielle has performed with the Longmont Symphony and was last seen in The Old Gallery’s production of Side By Side By Sondheim, where she not only was a featured performer, but she also directed and produced the pro- John Boggs Malcolm Ulbrick duction. Danielle is now the Artistic Di- Town. The grand finale will feature the rector for the Allenspark Performing whole quartet, singing Somewhere from Arts Company at The Old Gallery.

As we applaud our local authors in February, we’d also like to give everyone a teaser for what’s coming next. In March, look to the library to discover your roots with Buzzy Jackson’s ‘Shaking the Family Tree’ on March 12. Copies of this delightful telling of one woman’s genealogical quest are now available at the library to pick up, read and share.

We genuinely hope that you will love all of the titles that have been selected to read, love and share as a community in 2016. Our vibrant team of library staff and volunteers have thoughtfully considered, explored, and researched to seek out a variety of books that we hope will make the library’s 100th birthday a year to remember and a great year of reading together.

Glass Recycling Single streaming, while very helpful in resolving space issues for home owners, created some contamination issues. No matter how careful we may be, glass gets broken. When single streaming first began, glass was kept separate from other mixed recyclables and the broken glass did not reduce the recycling value to the processor. But, if the glass is mixed into other recyclables, the pieces of splintered glass may be too small to isolate. Worse, when glass shards puncture cardboard, neither the glass nor the cardboard can be redeemed. Such infiltration stops and often breaks expensive machinery.

So the result is an unintended, and considerable, donation to the landfill.

Today, in Estes Park, glass is collected with other materials: • We set out our recyclables or take it to the “mixed bin” at the Transfer Station.

• The recyclable bin is emptied into the recycling truck.

• The truck drives down the winding canyon road.

• The recyclables progress to a Recycling Center with a sorting machine.

• The sorting machine buffets, drops, and puffs as it sorts the load into “like” materials.

• Contaminated materials are redirected to the landfill.

• Only unbroken glass can be recycled.

A good description is provided on the City of Loveland Recycling site: • The City of Loveland has learned only

30% of the glass bottles and jars collected from curbside bins are recycled. As glass is collected, hauled and unloaded, much of it gets broken. At the sorting center, unbroken glass is recovered and shipped to a plant that makes new glass containers. The broken glass, however, is screened from the other recyclables. Contaminants imbedded in this broken glass cannot be sufficiently removed to meet the specifications of bottle makers. This glass ends up being used at landfills for daily cover material or is dumped as trash.

Colorado now offers other options: The Loveland Recycling Center (Hwy 34) and the EcoCycle system in Boulder County (Hwy 36) both recycle glass jars and bottles deposited in designated separate bins. Recycled glass can be processed far more inexpensively than the cost of creating new glass.

Due to the prevalence of single streaming, Colorado bottling companies have found it difficult to secure enough recycled glass for their operation. Momentum Recycling and Clear Intentions plan to resolve this issue in two ways. Momentum’s new facility is equipped with sophisticated optical equipment used to remove contaminates from the glass shards recovered from single stream recycling.

Clear Intentions approach is to isolate and recover glass before it faces single stream contamination. The proposal, if they can make it profitable for all concerned, would include curbside pickup for heavy users and a collection point for households in Estes Park.

Todd David Sedelmeier Todd David Sedelmeier, former resident of Estes Park, Colorado passed away as a result of a motorcycle accident, in Cabarete, Dominican Republic, on January 11, 2016, at the age of 39.

Todd is survived by his parents, Steve Sedelmeier, of Dacono, Colorado, Donna Merle of Fort Collins, Colorado; siblings Heather Christensen, Aaron Sedelmeier (Katie), and Chad Sedelmeier, all of Fort Collins, Colorado; grandmother Betty McArthur of Las Vegas, Nevada.

He has many aunts, uncles, cousins, inlaws, and also nieces and nephews who deeply loved Todd as well. He is preceded in death by George Sedelmeier (paternal grandfather); Viola Newkirk (paternal grandmother); George McArthur (maternal grandfather).

Todd was born on September 12, 1976, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the third of four children. He moved as a child with his family to Colorado in 1982. He lived in various places along the front range area growing up, and finished high school in Estes Park, Colorado in 1993. He became a certified airplane mechanic at the age of 18, in Phoenix, Arizona, and began working at Flagstaff, Arizona’s Pulliam Airport.

After a number of successful years, he changed fields, and worked in the construction business in Flagstaff for a period of time where he made many friends. He met Stephanie Gariano there in 2006, and they were married in 2008. He lived with her in Virginia and California, and then moved with her to the Dominican Republic to pursue and build his online business in personal and business development consulting.

People around the world came to know, love, and appreciate Todd. He had a lifelong passion for music, and could belt out the tunes with the best of them, and recently discovered the thrill of singing for the public.

He always had natural athletic ability, and usually did well at whatever sport he tried. When he was a young teen, he discovered he especially liked, and had a talent for the game of pool. He discovered a passion and talent for expressing himself through painting in the last few years.

He loved the people and places of the Dominican Republic. He spent a great deal of his adult life pursuing spiritual interests, and strongly desired to assist others on a spiritual level, both in business, and in the lives of his loved ones and acquaintances. He was the sort of person who lit up rooms, and lifted people with his wit, humor, and sincere interest in others. He loved his friends and family passionately. They remember him fondly for his care, insight, gentleness, humor, genuineness, adventureseeking and funloving spirit.

Todd loved greatly, worked hard, and played hard.

The family would like to especially thank Stephanie Gariano, Bruce Muzik, Dan and Debbie Sedelmeier, extensive members of the McArthur clan, Anne and Patrick Gariano, Jr., Logan Derrington, and family and friends too many to name, that have assisted us and Todd in countless ways.

He had many very special people in Cabarete, too. Thank you all for your care, effort, and dedication.

Marian R. Loehndorf Marian Ruth Loehndorf, 83 died on February 8, 2016 in Gig Harbor, Washington after a short illness.

She was born on December 14, 1932 in Waukesha, Wisconsin to Walter McKinley Longley and Allie Oleson Longley.

Marian grew up on a farm just outside of Palmyra, Wisconsin. She was always a bit of a daredevil and loved walking the high beams in the barn and climbing to the top of the windmills, much to her mother’s dismay. As a youngster, she loved to ride the cows and swim in the cow tank. (the cows still came for a drink while they were in the trough cooling off). Marian worked hard on the farm and enjoyed helping her dad feed and milk the cows and deliver baby pigs. She also liked to drive a team of horses or their tractor out to work in the fields.

As a young girl, Marian had to walk two and a half miles to attend classes in a one room schoolhouse (grades 1-8) with no electricity and only a wood stove for heat in those cold Wisconsin winters. She was the only one in her grade for three years.

Later in life, her family moved to Waukesha, Wisconsin where she met Vern Loehndorf, the man she would marry on October 8, 1949 in Dubuque, Iowa. Vern was in the Air Force and the couple moved around frequently until Vern got a job with the airlines. They lived in Wichita Falls, TX, San Antonio, TX, Shawano, WI, Downers Grove, IL and Wauconda, IL. The couple had five children and Marian was happy to be a stay at home mom and wife of an airline pilot.

Flying was the family passion and several of their children also learned to fly.

Not wanting to be left out, Marian took flying lessons so she could join in the aviation conversations, even attaining her Commercial Pilot’s license, flying cross country and making the family very proud!

Marian was a fun and loving wife and mother with a great sense of humor. She was completely dedicated to her family and loved nothing

more than having family home to visit. She said, “Watching your children’s triumphs and achievements is very rewarding, to see them do well in school, sports, their jobs, makes you as a parent, proud of them. To have them as friends when they are adults is the best feeling in the world.” She was a great cook, artist and crafter and enjoyed creating delicious foods and beautiful works of art as well as crafts she loved to give to family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Vern who died on February 3, 2011 and a daughter in law, Frankie Loehndorf who died November 6, 2012.

She is survived by her five children, Steve (Teresa) Loehndorf of Beaverton, OR, Mike Loehndorf of Milan, MI, Gary (Silvana) of Gig Harbor, WA, Kris (Gary) Hazelton of Estes Park, CO and Tracy (Jon) Fessler of Simi Valley, CA. She is also survived by her grandchildren Derek (Robyn) Loehndorf of Rosemount, MN, Jessica (John) Hutchison of Lake Oswego, OR, Ryan (Dustin Thompson) Loehndorf of Seattle, WA, Scott Loehndorf, Milan, MI, Amy (Ben) Eades of Anderson, Indiana, Renee (Craig) Berry of Alexandria, Virginia, Dustin (Brooke) of Boise, ID, Stephanie (Jesus) Romero of Sycamore, IL, Stacie (John) Hassler of Batavia, IL, Kylie (Nathanael) Romig of Glen Haven, CO, Jordan (Kirby) Hazelton of Estes Park, CO, Chloé (Andrew) Libby of Estes Park, CO and Paige Fessler and Kevin Fessler of Simi Valley, CA. She is also survived by 17 great-grandchildren; Grayson Loehndorf, August and Sawyer Hutchison, Emma and Taya Eades, Madison & Wyatt Romero, Abram, Rowan and Jane Hassler, Theodore and Heidi Romig, Peyton Libby, Elsa and Genevieve Berry and a Romig and Libby great-grandbaby on the way.

A Celebration of Life will be held at an upcoming date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society in Marian’s name as she was a breast cancer survivor.

Your presence we miss, your memories we treasure, loving you always, forgetting you never.

Cleo And Raja Need New Forever Homes!

Cleo is a Cattle/Pharaoh hound mix, she is a great size at 25 pounds, she is still a little shy but is house trained and about a year old. She is afraid of cats. Cleo will be ready for a new forever home as soon as she is spayed.

Raja is a four month old male cat. He is a friendly, happy, social kitty who enjoys playing and likes to be with people. He doesn't seem to mind dogs.

Both of these pets can be found at the Estes Park Pet Lodge at the Animal Medical Center on Manford Avenue or call 586-9282 for more information.

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

You can make a tax-deductible donation to the Pet Association by sending your check to P.O. Box 4342, Estes Park, CO 80517. For more information, contact Carolyn Fairbanks, President of the Pet Association at (970) 586-5121.
