Fraud Alert From Larimer County Sheriff’s Office The Larimer County Sheriff ’s Office has recently received reports of a new telephone pitch that scammers are using to extort and defraud residents. The scam begins with an unsolicited phone call in which the caller identifies themselves as a law enforcement official and demands money. Citizens are told that they have outstanding arrest warrants for missing jury duty with specified bond amounts and must pay with a PayPal pre-paid card to avoid arrest.

The individual(s) making these telephone calls state they are with the Warrants Division of the Larimer County Sheriff ’s Office making them seem credible. No law enforcement agency will contact a citizen via telephone and demand immediate payment to avoid arrest.

These criminals tend to target the more vulnerable population which often includes senior members of the community. DO NOT send any money if you receive a telephone call like this.

Immediately hang up and contact your local law enforcement agency to report the attempted scam.

Information regarding current and past scams is available on the Larimer County Sheriff ’s Office website at http://larimersheriff.org/site-page/frauds-and-scams.

Anyone with information regarding this incident or any crime is asked to call Larimer County Sheriff ’s Office at 970416-1985 or Crime Stoppers at 970-2216868 where you will remain anonymous and possibly be eligible for a cash reward.

Next Drug Collection Scheduled September 26 Police encourage safe disposal of unwanted prescription and over-thecounter drugs On Saturday, September 26 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. the Town of Estes Park Police Department will offer Estes Park’s tenth Drug Take Back Day to collect unused, unwanted and expired prescription and over-thecounter drugs for safe disposal — no questions asked.

This free service will be held at Rocky Mountain Pharmacy, located at 453 East Wonderview Ave. in Upper Stanley Village.

Police officers will collect the drugs, which will remain in the custody of law enforcement officers until they can be incinerated.

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

This campaign has been brought back by the Drug Enforcement Administration, after previously being suspended.

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

Misused and abused prescription

drugs containing controlled substances can lead to cases of accidental poisoning, overdose and addiction. The most recent National Survey on Drug Use and Health indicates that prescription medicines are the most abused drugs

by Americans, next to marijuana.

Seven of the 10 drugs most commonly abused by teenagers are prescription medicines and three quarters of teen prescription drug abusers obtain the drugs from family and friends — often from a home medicine cabinet.

Ridding homes of these substances greatly reduces the potential for abuse and accidental poisoning.

Items which cannot be accepted at the Drug Take Back Day collection sites are needles and sharps, mercury thermometers, oxygen containers, chemotherapy/radioactive substances, pressurized canisters and illicit drugs.

For more information, please contact Officer Gregg Filsinger Jr. of the Estes Park Police Department at 970-5773868 or at 970-586-4000.

epnews.com The first of these two columns on Theodore Roosevelt appeared in the EP News at the end of July. Remember? It began when the Republican Party power wielders had to select a vice-presidential candidate to run with President William McKinley when in 1900 the latter sought re-election. They settled on the governor of New York, Theodore Roosevelt. Why Roosevelt? In brief, to get him out of the way! A Republican? Of course, but not one of them. And the best way to get rid of a politically successful potential rival was to reward him. In this case --- with the Vice-Presidency of the United States.

The heavily favored McKinley (and Roosevelt) won the election.

But on 6 September 1901 while attending the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, New York President William McKinley was shot by an anarchist while attending the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, New York.

What kind of President was McKinley? He had sought no significant changes but rather followed the leadership of Congress, as had many of his predecessors. This would not be Roosevelt’s view of a President’s role. That role was to do whatever needed to be done “that the needs of the nation demanded,” unless, of course, it was forbidden by law. Roosevelt went to Buffalo, where the dying President lay. There, when McKinley died, he was sworn in as President.

Roosevelt began his Presidency by calling for the regulation of banks, railroads, and the financial trusts. He created a new government agency, the Department of Commerce. He sought legislation to increase the size of the armed forces, to reform the civil service, and to promote irrigation, conservation, and the merchant marine. All this was but a partial list of what Roosevelt hoped to accomplish.

Sentiment around the country called for more. Financial giants controlled many state legislatures, and where they could not prevent the passage of certain laws they often could prevent their enforcement. Corporations which did business across state lines were an elusive target for attempts at regulation. Great banking establishments --- Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Morgan --- not only had become “super profitable” but in the process ruined people who had invested in local and smaller enterprises.

As for Roosevelt, he proceeded with care and it worked to his advantage. His popularity steadily increased. In 1904 he could run for election under his own name --- no longer for vice-president. In the end he would win the presidency by over two and a half million votes --- back in the day when there were far fewer voters! As one historian has put it “He became President in his own right.” He won big! Upon learning the election results Roosevelt wrote to his son Kermit, “.I have the greatest popular majority and the greatest electoral majority ever given to a candidate for president.”

It was not a peaceful climb to the top for Theodore Roosevelt.

One writer referred to his presidency as a crusade. He had his opposition --throughout his presidency. Mining and timber interests heatedly opposed him.

Those were the days, at least in several states, when U.S. senators were chosen by state legislatures, and not by public vote.

One such vocal opponent of Roosevelt was bearded Senator William Clark of Montana. Elected by his state legislature?

Well, that’s what history says, BUT by accident in my reading I found Senator Clark’s address. Elected IN Montana?

Maybe! However, his home address was on New York City’s Fifth Avenue!

It appears from the literature that some members of the Republican Old Guard were cool about nominating Roosevelt for election in 1904.

(Remember: he wasn’t elected or nominated in 1900! Party bosses chose him for the vicepresidency to get him out of the way!) Roosevelt brought both personal strengths and limitations to his presidency. Some writers have referred to him as a moralist. When, after carefully weighing a problem he reached a decision, that was it. He created the first wildlife refuge, expanded the national forests and designated several national monuments, including the Grand Canyon.

Judging from much that was written and said about him, and much was written, Roosevelt was a man of many tastes and many skills. A lengthy quote from a two volume history of the country provides examples and useful detail: “[H]e could lasso a bucking steer, turn out an historical essay, hunt lions, run a political convention, play tennis, lead a regiment, and hypnotize an audience with equal facility.” The authors continue; “[H]e could hold his own in the company of cowboys, ward politicians, Methodist clergymen, newspaper reporters, foreign diplomats ….” [Morison and Commager].

One feature of early twentieth century America was a growing effort at encouraging people to trade city life and its less than desirable features such as crime and poor sanitation for life in the country.

Newspapers and magazines promoted moving from cities back to the countryside. Roosevelt established a Commission on Country Life to improve rural conditions and thereby encourage a back-tothe-country movement. The Union Pacific Railroad distributed brochures entitled “Free Government Lands” to encourage easterners to come and settle the west.

In sum, Roosevelt had little success in battling the extremely wealthy and wellentrenched trusts. Certainly he was popular, but his popularity often failed to be supported by meaningful policies which might have made a difference. This could be said, for example, of railway regulation.

Estes Park Archives Hosting Free History Programs This summer, the Estes Park Archives has been hosting free history programs at 250 Moraine Avenue every evening from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Throughout the month of August, we have been focusing on identifying collectible items from the earliest decades of Estes Park, beginning on Sundays with the 1870s, Mondays the 1880s, Tuesdays the 1890s, etc.

This Saturday, August 22, for example, we will highlight some treasured photos of Rocky Mountain National Park from 1920sera National Geographic magazines. Local photographer Fred Payne Clatworthy is identified as the contributor of most of the National Geographic "natural color" photos from the 1920s, beginning with a national park feature in June 1920, but who was responsible for the black and whites, or for later autochromes that weren't credited?

Programs are free, and parking is generally available at this time of the year on either side of the street. Both first-time visitors and long-term residents, summer or year-round, are welcome.

Mayor Bill Pinkham chats with attendees at the Town's 17th Annual Volunteer Recognition event.

The Town Recognizes Its Dedicated Volunteers The Town of Estes Park held its 17th annual Volunteer Appreciation Event yesterday at the Estes Park Event Center. The event honors the many volunteers that assist the Town in various departments, serving Estes Park's residents and guests. The theme of the event was "We Can't Spell Success Without U" which was highlighted through Scrabble themed decor. In 2014, volunteer hours totaled 43,407.

There were 511 volunteers for the year across 15 groups within the Town. The value of these hours worked to taxpayers is $1,089,515.70.

Volunteers have fun with the photo booth.

The Scrabble theme was carried throughout the event, including the volunteer gifts.

Mayor Bill Pinkham and Town Administrator Frank Lancaster hold the symbolic check to show the total value of the 43,407 hours was equivalent to a $1,089,515.70 savings to the Town of Estes Park. Courtesy photos

Provide Feedback On Proposed Changes To Short-Term Vacation Rental Regulations Town to host second forum on September 11 As short-term vacation rentals continue to thrive in the Estes Valley, the Town of Estes Park is considering amendments to the Estes Valley Development Code and Estes Park Municipal Code to more effectively manage these rentals. The Town is hosting the second of two public forums on Friday, September 11, 2 - 4 p.m. in the Town Board Room of Town Hall, 170 MacGregor Avenue.

At the first public forum in May, approximately 90 community members participated in small-group discussions about how to more effectively manage vacation rentals. The purpose of this second public forum is to share what was learned from the first meeting,

how that input has informed the refinement of policy options, and obtain input on the refined options. Following the meeting, staff will prepare policy options for review with the Town Board of Trustees and the Larimer County Board of County Commissioners. Feedback from the September 11 meeting will also be summarized and provided to the boards, and made available on the project website www.estes.org/vacationrentals.

For more information about the vacation rental regulation public process please visit www.estes.org/vacationrentals or call 970-577-3725. Sign up to receive Town news and/or agendas at www.estes.org.

epnews.com My little Honda Accord has 113,577 miles on the odometer and 15 years under its belt.

My friend Jani in Des Moines had a vehicle with twice that mileage. His Toyota truck had 226,000 miles on it before he sold it. Now his neighbor drives it and it’s 25 years old!

Keith P. from VA and his family all drive Hondas. “We haven't named our Hondas but in about 2006 I named our family the ‘House of Four Accords.’ I was then driving an '83, our daughter had an '88, my wife Carol drove a 2000 and son Scott's was a 2001. All four were purchased used. Combined mileage of the four in 2006 was nearly 500,000 miles!

“We still drive the 2000. We donated the '83, Scott's 2001 was totaled at about 310,000 miles when hit for the third time, and the '88 was on the road until last year when the cost of repairs finally exceeded four monthly car payments. I now drive a CRV, but we’re still in accord with Honda.”

Susan A. is driving a new Subaru, which she named SueB2. SueB1 is soon to become her grandson’s first car. Since 1990 all of her vehicles have had names, which were: “Big Willie (a big SUV, named after the Venus of Willendorf) and Little Willie (the next SUV, slightly smaller). One died of old age (Fords will do that), the other was totaled.

There was Rachel Car-son, the Prius, Penelope the Perfect Plymouth, a mini-van we drove to death and finally killed by taking too much stuff and too many people on a river trip to Alaska, and Charlotte the Chalet, our pop-up camper.”

Jeannie L. has been naming her vehicles since the ‘80s: “The car I named first was a company car. Lulu had not been properly maintained till I received her. I named her in the belief that there is a relationship if a car has a name. If there is a relationship then the car would not break down as we travelled through Iowa! Lulu definitely had some idiosyncrasies but she always got me home to Omaha. Many days we drove 500 hundred-plus miles. Since our relationship worked so well I have continued to name our vehicles. There was Ruby, our red VW Jetta, ‘A boy named Sue,’ the Suzuki X-90, our first truck, Hoss, and our current truck, Little Joe. “I learned from a car salesperson how to know if a car is a boy or girl. If the vin number ends in an even number, it is a girl. Odd numbers denote a boy. This is, of course, to find the right name for the vehicle! Scott rolls his eyes at all this. But in belief there is success!”

Marise M., my hiking friend from San Antonio said: “Red Flash was my first car. It was a red 1955 Ford sedan, not flashy at all, that my father proudly presented to me when I graduated from college in 1965. It had some rusted out places in the floorboards and the driver’s door needed a hefty shoulder-thrust to open from the inside, but it did have automatic shift. It was a very loyal car, and took me and a girlfriend on an excursion from Delaware to Quebec City and further north into the woods somewhere near the North Pole without breaking down. But that same friend was using the car when I was away, and the Red Flash refused to start for her. After about 2

years I got a newer car, so I tried to sell it. But it wouldn’t start at all, even for me, probably because of hurt feelings.

It had to be towed away to the junkyard at a cost of $50, likely more than the car was worth, except to me.”

Nancy H., a KS transplant from CO, shared this: “I have a Subaru Impreza which I love, so I named it Ozma because it is a true princess of a car. If you loved the Oz books you know that Ozma ruled Oz after the Wizard went back to Omaha. I came down to earth with a thud, though, when my very own children said ‘Who's Ozma?’ and then went back to their iPads.”

Chuck R. from Omaha remembers this: “My mother’s Oldsmobile when we were growing up was Nellybelle, which she named after the famous jeep on The Roy Rogers Show from the 1950s. Now my daughter is going off to college in my mother’s long-loved/rarely-driven little red car. My daughter promptly named it Shirley, to honor grandma.”

My friend Carol D., formerly from CO and now in Portland, OR, said: “I had a 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser whose second owners gave the perfect name: Sherman, because it was the only car in Big Elk Meadows that made it through the muck and washed-out road that the 2012 flood left. Think Sherman tanks.”

Carol L., who moved from Estes to AZ, remembers this: “Only one of our childhood cars had a name and that was a very old Chevy my parents bought for my mom. It was at least 10 years old and well used when they bought it for $100 in the mid ‘60s. The front bumper fell off in the driveway when one of my brothers touched it. It was dubbed ‘The Old Crate’ by my siblings and me.

“Lola was the name of one of our Volvos because she seduced us into taking her home from the dealership ("whatever Lola wants, Lola gets..."). Our last 4Runner was ‘Moose’ because it was a beast-of-a go-anywhere, doanything SUV, but still gentle! After our doanything ‘Moose,’ our new Lexus seemed a bit of a Molesley, the kindhearted but often inept footman on Downton Abbey. Hopefully ‘Molesley’ the car will ignore the inept behaviors of his namesake!”

Lastly, Craig “Loomis” L. originally from Loomis, NE, tells this tale: “For a time, I had a streak of cars named after women. It started with Sharon the LeBaron; then Loretta the Barretta. When I purchased my Mercury Sable, it if course was Mabel the Sable.

“Years ago, I went to a ‘Business After Hours’ at a Lexington, NE car dealership. (Free wine.)

I saw an Oldsmobile Aurora. ‘Laura the Aurora’ I thought. I left before anyone could fill my glass again, otherwise......she was almost mine.

“Today, it is a Chrysler 300. Dang it, anyway.”

Are you looking for activities to get your child unplugged? As a parent, you want your son to be a well rounded, selfreliant, responsible and caring individual. Scouting has these same goals in mind. Since 1910, scouting has been weaving lifetime values into fun and educational activities designed to assist parents in strengthening character, good citizenship, and physical fitness in their youth. Scouting is family values and fun at the same time. With all the negative influences in today's society, scouting is there to provide your son with a positive peer group, along with a program that is fun and adventurous and helps him to "BE PREPARED" to shape his own future. Scouting is for all boys ages 7 to 17!

Estes Park Cub scouts Pack 8 and boy scouts Troop 8, would like to invite you to come check out what scouting is all about on Sunday, August 30. We will meet at 2 p.m. in the small shelter at Stanley Park, next to the playground.

Food For Life: Kickstart Your Health Cooking Course Starts August 27

Interactive Program Teaches Participants About Foods to Kickstart Weight Loss and Health A brand new Food for Life: Kickstart Your Health Cooking course will be held on Thursdays, August 27 to September 17 & Thursday, October 1 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Salud Family Health Center, 1950 Redtail Hawk Drive, Estes Park.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a national nonprofit organization that promotes preventive medicine, particularly good nutrition, and supports higher standards in research, is offering a cooking course designed to help local residents lose weight and improve their health through proper diet and nutrition.

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

The Rx for weight loss and health? It’s a low-fat vegetarian diet. Load up on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, Levin says; they’re naturally low in fat,

chock-full of fiber, and filled with immune-boosting antioxidants and phytochemicals. These foods will naturally tame your appetite and boost metabolism.

The challenge, Levin acknowledges, is not only to teach people which foods are good for them, but also to show them how to make the foods taste good. Each class centers on important nutrition topics as local cooking instructor Chazz Glaze guides students through the preparation of tasty and easy-to-prepare recipes.

The class details are as follows: August 27, 5:307:30 p.m., Power of Your Plate September 3, 5:30-7:30 p.m., Let’s Go! September 10, 5:30-7:30 p.m., Getting in Gear September 17, 5:30-7:30 p.m., Breaking the Food Seduction October 1, 5:30-7:30 p.m., Keys for Natural Appetite Control There is a suggested donation of $10 per class (five classes total). To register, please call (970) 235-1586 or e-mail aveganwithaltitude@gmail.com.

Women’s Equality Day 2015

August 26, 2015 marks the 95th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution giving women the right to vote throughout the states. During these 24 hours we are reminded to reflect on how far women have come since 1920, as well as how much remains to accomplish.

"Suffrage" derives from the Latin, suffragium, meaning vote or political support. The 19th Amendment was the culmination of a long struggle by generations of women. They believed that the right to vote was the main hurdle in the way of achieving social and economic equality. Ninety-five years later we know that was not the only hurdle. Today women still are denied basic pay equity and face gender discrimination in the workplace.

How did the 19th Amendment become law when only men could vote? After the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, seventy-one years of women organizing, lobbying, marching, and even going to prison finally paid off. In June 1919 the proposed amendment passed the U.S. House of Representatives 304 to 90 and the Senate 56 to 25. Next it had to be ratified by 75% (36) of the then 48 states.

Thirty-five states had ratified when it was Tennessee's turn. Twenty-four year old legislator, Harry Burn, had opposed women's suffrage, but on August 18, 1920, he famously decided to listen to his mother. Phoebe Burn was a strong supporter of women's suffrage. She urged her son to vote to ratify the amendment. Surprising his colleagues, he prevented a 48-48 tie by voting in favor, and Tennessee became #36. This cleared the way for the amendment's official adoption eight days later.

The 19th Amendment reads: "The right of citizens of the U.S. to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the U.S. or by any state on account of sex."

The League of Women Voters was founded by Carrie Chapman Catt in 1920 during a convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, six months before the 19th Amendment was ratified. It began as a "mighty political experiment" designed to help 20 million women carry out their new responsibilities as voters. Women were encouraged to use their new power to participate in shaping public policy.

Over the years, the League has developed a reputation for studied positions on many critical issues and for providing voter education They also have been diligent in protecting the right and privilege of all citizens to vote. Although the League retains their historic name, men are encouraged and welcome to become members.

The League has always been nonpartisan, neither supporting nor opposing candidates or political parties at any level of government, but always working on vital issues of concern to members and the public. The Estes Park chapter is proud to continue this long rich history.

Dave Roever-Vietnam Veteran To Speak In Estes Park From the jungle waterways of Vietnam where he was injured, to the forward operating bases of the current war zones, Dave Roever shares his inspiring story of triumph over tragedy!

Roever will speak on Sunday, August 23rd at 10 a.m. at Summit Church. Summit Church meets in the Estes Park High School Auditorium.

In July 1969, while serving as a Brown Water Black Beret with the U. S. Navy in Vietnam, Dave Roever was severely burned when a white phosphorus grenade exploded in his hand. He was thought to be dead. But due to his faith in God and the faithful love of his wife Brenda, Roever survived, undergoing numerous surgeries at the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas.

Barely having left the hospital, Roever began his speaking career in Texas, and from there has traveled all over the U.S.A. and to many nations. As he shares his riveting story with pathos and humor, listeners laugh as they cry, and find hope to overcome their own tragedies.

In a moving ceremony on November 1, 2003, thirty-four years after his initial injury in Vietnam, Roever was awarded the Purple Heart by the U. S. Department of the Navy, as well as other service medals. In April 2012, Mr. Roever was awarded The Outstanding Civilian Service medal by the U. S. Department of the Army.

Today Roever is a multi-generational speaker in many venues, including public schools; business, youth and men’s conventions; churches; television shows; and military installations all over the world.

Roever speaks to public school students, sharing the story of his life, addressing the problems of low self-esteem, substance abuse, violence, etc., and encourages a healthy life style. Adults he meets today frequently say they have never forgotten the impact on their lives when they heard him in high school.

Since the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, Roever’s work with the United States military has expanded signifi-

cantly. His work includes military academies, hospitals, and installations both on U.S. soil and in hot spots on other continents. He is no stranger to the war on terror, having done seven tours in the Middle East, supporting troops in Afghanistan, Iraq (five tours), Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Mr. Roever spoke on September 11, 2014, to US troops in Afghanistan for the last 9/11 commemoration ceremony during the war. Dave Roever connects in a profound way, instilling hope for the future.

Weaving together all the aspects of his amazing life, Dave and his wife Brenda co-founded Eagles Summit Ranch Colorado near Westcliffe, as well as Eagles Summit Ranch Texas, near Junction.

Dave and an outstanding team help to restore hope and train today’s wounded warriors and promising young leaders in areas of specific focus such as public speaking and emotional recovery after devastating injury, restoring hope and helping them to fulfill their destinies.

Mr. Roever’s passion to help others never stops. The work of Operation Warrior RECONnect continues to expand. Programs are now held at the ranches for the Mothers of Fallen Heroes, as well as for Vietnam veterans.

Millions have been uplifted by his remarkable story. You are warmly invited to hear him speak. Bring a friend! www.DaveRoever.org

GET TO A BETTER STATE. CALL ME TODAY. ®

F. O. Stanley sitting on the porch of his home in Estes Park In case you missed it, on Wednesday, August 26 at 2:00 p.m. performer Kurtis Kelly will step back into the role of the legendary Mr. Stanley. Stanley, who built the Stanley Hotel and Fall River Hydroplant, reflected in 1928 that no visitor to Estes Park "has had a more varied experience than I have had. For twenty-six consecutive years I have been a summer visitor to Estes Park. This has given me an opportunity to watch its growth; to see the village grow from one having only two cottages to having several hundred cottages; to see the hotels increase from four to some 25; and the time required to go from Denver to Estes Park reduced from an all-day`s journey to a comfortable ride in an automobile in two and one-half hours."

Thank You Community Thrift Store!

Dear Editor, It is with great gratitude that Life Choices Pregnancy Center of Estes Park thanks The Community Thrift Store of Estes Park for its generous contribution to our annual baby bottle campaign. The $1,500.00 will provide free pregnancy tests, free ultrasounds, STD testing and education for our local mothers and children. Thank you for your generosity!

Kimberly West, Center Director Stephie McDonald, Advocate Coordinator, Life Choices Volunteers

In addition to his hotel business, Mr. Stanley, along with his twin brother, gained national fame as developers of an early and popular form of dry-plate photography, and later as developers of the Stanley Brothers steam- powered automobile, which held the land-speed record in 1906. Stanley was also a maker of fine violins and operated a violinmaking firm with his nephew, Carleton Stanley. Kelly’s performance will explore these many achievements of Stanley’s long and varied life. This program is identical to the one offered on August 9.

The event takes place outdoors at the Historic Fall River Hydroplant located at 1754 Fish Hatcher Road. Cost is $3 for Museum Members and children or $5 for non-members; cash or check only please. No reservations necessary.

Community Radio Station KREV Needs Our Help

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Paul Saunders, General Manager of KREV, your non commercial FM station for the Estes Valley. We now have a long term location at last for our transmitter

and antenna at 1180 Woodstock Drive in the middle of Estes Park.

We have been offered studio space by RMDAS next to our transmitter that

would open an opportunity for more community programs and more participation by the community for the community at a very central location. The station budget is covered by donations and underwriting. We have never had a fund-raising marathon. However, with this new opportunity, we must ask for your support with a donation to cover rent of the new studio. Our budget is modest. We operate with all volunteer staff, but we did acquire new computers and new software to improve our au-

tomation that has been running 24/7 for 13 years. Because our Boulder Valley Credit Union account is substantially now low, we must ask for your donation as soon as possible to help make the move in September to keep KREV 104.7 FM, the only community station left in Estes Park, the best radio station operated by your neighbors. Can you help?

Please mail your tax deductible donation to KREV, 1509 Fish Hatchery Road, Estes Park, Colorado 80517. Thank you, Paul Saunders, General Manager For more information, call (970) 577-1312.

ARE YOU A ‘DREAMER’, A ‘DECIDER’, OR A ‘DOER’?

I’m sure that you have seen these three different types of people. First of all, there are ‘dreamers’. We see them in many arenas and they are vital for growth. Henry Ford wanted his people to prop their feet up and dream some fresh dreams because only then would his business move forward. However, just being a ‘dreamer’ does not guarantee success. There comes a time when those ‘dreams’ must be moved toward reality by being acted upon by a ‘decider’.

Someone…perhaps the ‘dreamer’…must make a decision to move forward with it if anything good is going to result. However, we realize that even that is not enough. There must come a time when that person becomes a ‘doer’. In a recently published book entitled, ‘Five Frogs on a Log’, the author tells of five frogs sitting on a log. The author says “four decide to jump off, how many frogs are left?” He quickly points out that there were still five frogs on the log, since there is a great difference between ‘deciding’ and ‘doing’, or, in this case, ‘deciding’ and ‘jumping’.

I want to use this means to say ‘thanks’ to some people we know that exemplify all these success-bringing qualities. Since my move to Estes Park I have come to deeply appreciate Mel and Phil Tulin. We’ve visited often on many subjects, spent time in hospitals together… them visiting me, me visiting them, we’ve laughed together, shed tears together, prayed together...supporting and encouraging each other. I will miss them when they move East this week…and know that many in Estes will also, especially as you reflect on the things they have done for us and our community while here.

Since I had been aware of some of the ‘tourism-encouraging’ ideas they had ‘dreamed’, ‘decided’ and ‘did’ through the years, I pressed them for a list of some of the promotions they had led to help bring tourists to Estes Park and to bring Estes people closer together.

They reluctantly put together a list, not knowing that I would share it.

Mel and Phil: (1) started the free Enjoy Estes Park website, (400 businesses joining); (2) Started the Great Outdoors Series at the library; (3) Wrote Seeing Through October Eyes weekly articles for EPNews; (4) Started Enjoy Estes Park Blog; (5) Started Estes Biz website; (6) Organized TGIFs at different cafes, with people meeting and networking on the 1st Friday of each month; (7) Savor Estes Park brought in over 16,000 people for $3.00 ‘sampler plates’ with 27 restaurants serving; (8) ‘Wooden Nickels’ with 126 businesses involved; (9) ‘Scarecrows on Main Street’ with over 100 businesses participating; (10) Stanley Steamer fundraisers; (11) Virtual Kiosks around town; (12) 41 give-away weekends, with 60+ businesses contributing; (13) Contributed to the Arts movement; (14) Started 1 hour retail and restaurant deals for Estes Park; (15) Lecture program at Baldpate Inn and children‘s program at Lily Lake; (16) Organized a Visionary Action Committee to help improve Estes Park; (17) Organized and led hiking and photography Meet Up group; (18) Started the 7522 Radio and Podcast Network (over 500,000 listeners), now to be called 7522 Beach / Mountain Radio from the shores of Cape Cod and the Rocky Mountains. (19) Broadcast 50+ music concerts from Estes.

So, ‘thanks again’ to Mel and Phil for all you’ve done for me and us, and God bless your ongoing efforts in your new home in the Cape Cod area. For us here, let me encourage us to show that same kind of commitment to building up those things that make Estes Park great (Bob) and to sharing our ‘paradise’ with others.

Award-Winning Ghost Town Documentary To Benefit Historic Park Theatre

The Estes Park Film Festival will screen “Ghosts of the West: The End of the Bonanza Trail,” a documentary shot on location in the ghost towns and mining camps of the Old West, at the Historic Park Theatre this Saturday, August 22 at 2 p.m. The special event benefits restoration work on the 102 year-old theatre.

Ten years in the making, the film has been enormously popular with audiences ever since its test screenings in 2012. Box office lines and capacity crowds, including sold-out events, have been common sights throughout its theatrical road show. Motion picture and television executives, academics, and film critics honored it with a Best Documentary Award in 2013. At a benefit

screening last September, the film gave the Park its first sold-out show since 2007s “The Bourne Ultimatum.”

On-screen expert Ron Ruhoff helps explain the subject matter’s wide appeal at the very start of the film: “Just the thought of visiting an old town with those false-fronted buildings and their open doors and windows... There's something magical about it – about the Old West...”

Audiences have resoundingly agreed, rating the film a 4.5 on a scale of 1 to 5 and providing written comments like: “This is something that begs to be viewed more than once;” “Loved the narration;” “The score is magnificent;” “Outstanding research and script;” “Loved the cinematography;” “The film touched my heart;” “Haunting;” “Awesome!” “Perfect!”

The program will begin with the multiaward winning short film, “Not for Today, But for All Time...,” and conclude with a Q&A session with the filmmakers. Tickets can be can be purchased online at historicparktheatre.com or in person at the theatre box office and Park Theatre Café during normal operating hours. All ages, all seats are $9. The trailer, gallery, and production info can be found at ghostsofthewestmovie.com, the film’s official website.

“Love, Loss And What I Wore” Next Production Of Repertoire Theatre Company

It’s that time again, it’s flamingo time! The Longs Peak Rotary Club is once again hosting a month long, fun, fundraiser here in the Estes Valley. This event is to raise funds to support their service projects for our community.

To “flamingo” someone’s home will cost you $25.00! Being “flamingoed” is when bright, pink flamingos are placed in the unsuspecting victim’s front yard or place of business. For flamingo removal, the homeowner or business must call the “flockers” who will remove the birds and send them on their way!

Now… if you want to protect your property from the birds you can purchase “Anti-Flamingo Insurance” for only $25.00 and have an “Insured” yard sign placed in your yard or business. When you decide to join in the fun and flock a friend, you can also purchase flamingo insurance for an additional $10. It is highly likely that the birds can and will return to a favorite spot!

This event runs through the month of September. To help give the birds a place to roost, contact Rotarian Tom Washburn by calling 970-699-6351, or email longspeakrotary@gmail.com or mail Tom at PO Box 3061 Estes Park, CO 80517.

Now the fun begins!!

Helping The Inn Of Glen Haven

Courtesy photo

Recently, members of the Estes Valley Historical Preservation Foundation and Tim Buck, owner of Trail Ridge Printing gathered together to present checks to Tom and Sheila Sellers, owners of the Inn Of Glen Haven to help them rebuild and remodel.

The Inn of Glen Haven was originally constructed as a one room general store in 1919. In the early 1960s, the building was remodeled and turned into a bed and breakfast. Tom and Sheila Sellers purchased the Inn of Glen Haven in 1998 and restored the inn to reflect the romantic atmosphere an Old English country inn. Holidays are a special time at the Inn when Tom and Sheila celebrate the 12 days of Christmas from December 26 to January 5th, a time when

many locals and guests loved to come enjoy a wonderful holiday meal in a great atmosphere. The Inn holds many fond memories for many who have been lucky enough to dine there.

The September 13, 2014 flood destroyed what Tom and Sheila had worked so hard to achieve. The couple is now busy rebuilding the Inn and needs help to re-open their doors.

The Estes Valley Historical Preservation Foundation would like to give a heartfelt "thank you" to the Old Church Shops for offering a space to help raise funds to donate to the Inn of Glen Haven. Also, to all that donated for the rebuilding and restoration of the Inn - a big "thank you.” Watch for the opening of the Inn of Glen Haven.

The Estes Park Repertoire Theatre Company is in initial rehearsals of its next production, “Love, Loss and What I Wore.” Light rehearsals started a couple of weeks ago on the 24th play in the six year history of EPRTC. The play will be presented at the Masonic Lodge Studio Theatre on October 16, 17, 18, 23, 24 and 25.

“Love, Loss and What I Wore” was written by Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron. It is based on the book by Ilene Beckerman. It was first produced in New York in 2009 starring Tyne Daly.

“Love, Loss and What I Wore” is presented in a Readers Theatre mode. The actors will sit on stage on stools with scripts in hand. It is a play of monologues and ensemble pieces about

women, clothes and memories covering important subjects like prom dresses, mothers, buying bras, hating purses and “why we only wear black.”

There are seven actors and 28 scenes in the play. The actors are: C.J. Jensen, Lonnie Erskine, Carissa Streib, Jean Might, Sara Maypole, Carolyn Wills, and Christann Higley. Christann Higley and C.J. Jensen are co-directing the production. Each of the actors will play several parts in the production. Readers Theatre requires strong character development since there is no physical movement on stage. Early rehearsals have been funny and impressive. The cast is having a “ball” building this play.

Those of you who loved our production of “Hot Flashes” will truly enjoy this work. We will update our progress in future releases. Join us in October.

The CARRI Barn Owls Have Nested Twice In 2015

Barn Owl eggs.

Photos and story by Scott Rashid

As many of you know, the Colorado Avian Research and Rehabilitation Institute, or CARRI has had a camera on a Barn Owl nest for the past two years. In April this year, a male owl arrived inside the nest box and was quickly followed by a female. The pair raised seven owlets (young owls), all of which have fledged (left the nest and are on their own).

As of August 15th, the female owl has laid her second clutch. She is now on five eggs that have yet to hatch. The first egg should hatch about August 24th. You can watch live at www.carriep.org. Then click the nest cameras link at the top of the page.

What we have found though our Barn Owl research is that the Barn Owl may be the most beneficial bird in North America, and possibly the world. By monitoring our camera we have documented that the male Barn Owls delivers between five and 14 voles and mice to

the female every evening. The Barn Owls are in their nest for up to five months. If you do the math, you can conservatively calculate that a family of Barn owls will consume five voles/mice per evening. There are roughly 30 days per month. That is 150 vole/mice per month. Then multiply that by five monthsâ&#x20AC;Ś that is roughly 750 voles/mice that the family consumes in a nesting season. That is free rodent control.

In 2014, members of CARRI had placed 10 nest boxes for Barn Owls and had one box occupied with Barn Owls.

That family raised seven owlets. In 2015, we had six of the 10 nest boxes occupied

by Barn Owls and raised 27 baby Barn Owls. Those owls took an immense number of voles and mice this season.

The bad news for Estes Park residents is that Barn Owls are not found at our elevation. However, the good news is that we have an owl here in the Estes val-

ley and RMNP that is just as good at catching voles/mice as the Barn Owl is. Our owl is the Long-eared Owl. The Long eared Owl looks somewhat like a miniature Great Horned Owl. Researchers in Europe found that the Long-eared Owl will feed entirely upon voles if there are enough for the family, and boy do we have voles up here!

The Long-eared Owl prefers dense patches of pine, spruce and or juniper near large openings where they can hunt for voles. This fall members of CARRI will be constructing and placing nest structures for Long-eared Owls. We will be putting another article in this paper later in the year about this.

In the meantime, anyone who has areas on their property with dense pine,

spruce, fir or juniper, near large meadows, might be a candidate for one of the Long-eared Owl structures. FYI-Longeared Owls are extremely nervous birds and do not do well when people disturb their nests. If a single person comes near the owls during incubation, the owls often abandon their nests.

In the meantime, please feel free to watch the Barn Owls live at www.carriep.org, then click the nest camera link at the top of the page.

“Miniatures,” will be done by Lani Vlaanderen and William Hook.

Lani Vlaanderen is a native of Colorado and her work is known for simple shapes, values and brushstrokes. Lani’s creative side was inherited from her mother and other artists in her ancestral past. It wasn’t until mid-life though that she was able to realize her passion to paint, taking classes at the Art Student’s League of Denver with Kim English for whom she became the monitor for four years and then studying with Richard Schmid in Loveland for six years. These two mentors have been her major influences.

Her love of animals and the outdoors has influenced her choice of subject matter but she also creates beautiful landscapes, still lifes and figure paintings. “It is the light that I paint,” she says.

“Late Light” by Jason Sacran.

“Paint is like liquid light from which I strive to create visual poetry.”

William Hook has painted professionally for more than 30 years. It was through the influence of his father and grandmother, a professional photographer and architect respectively, that art became second nature to him. In 1976 he received his BFA from the University “Longs & Meeker at Dawn” by Scott Ruthven 8x10 Oil. of New Mexico; he then studied at the Mark Akins – Littleton, CO Universita Italiana Per Straniere in PeMelissa Arthur, Louisville, CO rugia, Italy.

Magician/Comedian At Library After School Program The Estes Valley Library’s Youth Department will sponsor ‘First Thursday’ after school programs throughout the year for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. The purpose of the program is to spark interest and stimulate a desire to learn. After school programs feature a variety of topics and many support the Estes Park School’s S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering Arts and Math) education.

Magician and comedian Scott McCray will perform on Thursday September 3rd at 4:00 p.m. in the Hondius Room. Scott is a naturally gifted magician, comedian and entertainer and has been enchanting audiences all across the West for nearly 30 years. His amazing magical feats, sharp wit and legendary showmanship have helped him become a favorite at events in Colorado and surrounding states. For his younger audiences, Scott has a never-ending assortment of “groaner” jokes, hilarious gags and astounding tricks that not only amuse

kids, but also allows them to participate in the act. Space is limited. Register on the library’s online calendar.

Students in kindergarten through fifth grade are also invited to the library’s ‘Make it Monday’ after school program on Monday, September 28th for Roller Coaster Science.

Students will learn about the simple physics of building a roller coaster.

Participants will work in groups to create a roller coaster with foam pipe insulation, masking tape, and cardboard. They will then roll marbles down the track and continue to add, subtract and modify their track to create more complicated coasters. Space is limited and students may register on the library’s online calendar.

If you would like more information about the library’s after school programs, contact Kerry Aiken or Melanie Kozlowski at youthservices@estesvalleylibrary.org.

Our Wonderful World: “The Jewels Of China” The Estes Valley Library’s “Our Wonderful World” will be exploring “The Jewels of China” on Monday night, August 24th at 7:00 p.m. at the Park Village Playhouse. Please join long-time resident Betty Hull for a fascinating tour through China, following the footsteps of her grandfather. As a young Swedish immigrant, he joined the US Navy and was immediately sent to serve on a gunboat during the infamous Boxer Rebellion at the turn of the last century.

Begin in Shanghai with a relaxing afternoon at the picturesque Yuyuan Gardens before embarking on a leisurely trip up the Yangtze River; visit the wonderful pandas at Chongoing, and spend an unforgettable day at Xion amid the magnificent Terra Cotta warriors. Travel on to Beijing to immerse yourself in the For-

bidden City; walk on the Great Wall, closing your eyes to breathe in the history, and then fly south to sail up the Lee River to drink in the scenery of the famous mountains near Guilin. Finally, finish your tour with a very interesting visit to Hong Kong.

“Our Wonderful World” is an opportunity to celebrate the personal stories of those who have explored destinations near and far. The Library offers a special thank-you to the Webermeier family and the staff of National Park Village for their generosity in providing this year’s event space.

For more information on this adventure series, visit the Estes Valley Library at estesvalleylibrary.org or call to speak with a librarian at 970-586-8116.

Field Bindweed • White to pink bell or trumpet-shaped flowers, ~1” across • Stems prostrate on ground or climbing on other plants or structures • Arrowhead-shaped leaves alternate along the stem

Why should you be concerned about it?

Field Bindweed invades large areas, and as a perennial may crowd out all other plants (as in Prairie Dog communities along state highways). The plants resist eradication because of deep and spreading root systems and seeds that last up to 50 years. The invasive weeds can be seen along S. St. Vrain Rd between Peak View and Carriage Hills, and along the bike and pedestrian trail that parallels S St. Vrain. Field Bindweed is known to scientists as Convolvulus arvensis.

Beginning Meditation Class Mary Jo Heyen to offer free classes in meditation training The Town of Estes Park’s Senior Services Division is working with local meditation and archetypal dream teacher, Mary Jo Heyen, to offer free beginning meditation classes at the Senior Center, 220 Fourth Street. For six Thursdays, beginning September 17th, from 10:30-11:15 a.m., Mary Jo will offer basic meditation training. Advance registration is required for Mary Jo Heyen each individual class and participants can attend one or any number of classes. Call or stop by the Senior Center to register.

Each class will include clear and simple instructions for developing your own meditation practice, a guided meditation as well as silent meditation. No special skill is required. However, experienced practitioners who would enjoy sitting with a group and can offer some of their own insight and teaching are also welcome to attend.

Mary Jo asks, “Would you like to learn some of the basics that go into developing your own meditation practice? Or perhaps you would like the support of fellow practitioners and explore questions that arise as you begin to ‘follow your breath’? Join us..”

Mary Jo reflects on the value of meditation, “Including meditation in our lives we begin to clear our minds and open

our hearts. Meditation gently offers us many opportunities. It can help us to manage stress and to be more centered.

Whatever our age we can deepen our ability to be truly in the present moment, be present with whoever is with us, and to be with whatever is going on around us. The ‘whatever is’ may be a wonderful experience, some joy, or it may be some form of suffering, physical pain, or emotional pain, such as grief or loneliness. All of who we are is welcome as we sit in meditation.”

She continues, “All traditions teach some form of this inner training that works with the mind and the heart...to promote well-being, compassion and a larger sense of our inter-connectedness. Whether through meditation, centering, contemplative prayer, mantra, chant, dance or other meditative practices we begin to experience our life from a place of presence and awareness versus a place of reaction and anxiety.”

For more information about Mary Jo’s background and training in meditation visit the ‘About Me’ section of her website www.maryjoheyen.com.

For more information, please contact the Estes Park Senior Center at (970) 586-2996 or visit the Center at 220 Fourth Street, Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Please visit the Senior Services website at www.estes.org/seniorcenter.

Flowers Not Feeders Winner

PREVENTION Cut Field Bindweed at the base and bag flowers. It can take years to kill off the weeds this way, but at least they don’t spread!

Field Bindweed spreads with pulling and other disturbances. Mites and chemical application provide alternative control methods. Put flowering and fruiting weeds in paper lawn bags. Drop off weed-filled paper bags for free disposal on Mon, Weds, and Fridays from 8-4 at 666 Elm Street, up the road from the Recycle/Transfer Station. If you mow, please use an attached mower bag to collect and dispose of clippings so that weeds aren’t spread.

For help identifying weeds on your property, call Marcia @ 586-6092 or George @ 586-5022. For more information and to report weeds out of town limits, please call the Larimer County Natural Resources @ 498-5769 or CSU Extension @ 491-7568.

To report weeds within town limits, contact Linda Hardin @ 577-3723.

Recycle Your Aluminum Cans!

Submitted by: Jana Larsen, League of Women Voters of Estes Park & Community Recycling Committee Did you know that an aluminum can takes 200 to 500 years to Bodee decompose in a landfill? However, the great news is that recycling just ONE aluminum can saves enough energy to run your television for three hours!

And, a recycled aluminum can will be back on the grocery shelf in approximately 90 days! Obviously, recycling ALL your aluminum cans is worth your effort to reduce what would be sent to the landfill and is a huge step that YOU can take to make a significant effort toward being ‘Green.’ Just remember to rinse out your cans and DO NOT flatten them!

For more information on recycling tips and suggestions, please visit our website www.recycleestes.org and like and share our Facebook page and join our Facebook group Recycle! - as Ambassador Bodee, The Recycling Dog, reminds…ONLY YOU CAN RECYCLE!

Melinda Sychla from Estes Park won the hummingbird flower basket last week at the Farmer's Market. The basket was purchased by Bears Are Us from Gulley Greenhouse in Fort Collins. This is part of the "Flowers Not Feeders" program, an educational outreach by Bears Are Us, to encourage flower baskets to attract hummingbirds rather than hummingbird feeders and bird seed which may attract bears to your neighborhood.

As William Shakespeare tells us, “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."

Estes Valley Victim Advocates is becoming Estes Valley Crisis Advocates.

Will we change or remain the same but with a new name? Mary Mesropian, the Executive Director, said, “I hope we will hold on to the things that make us unique in the community and I also hope we will grow and add new and vital services that help people recover from crime and serious trauma.”

Supporting the community of Estes Park and the surrounding Estes Valley area since 1988, Estes Valley Victim Advocates started as an all-volunteer victim assistance program of the Estes Park Police Department. Volunteer advocates were recruited, interviewed and trained and a group of eight advocates began working in March 1989. At first Estes Valley Victim Advocates worked under the aegis of Alternatives for Battered Women in Loveland. A year later this group of advocates was strong enough to stand alone. A volunteer director coordinated the program from her home. The Victim Assistance program operated under the direction of the Estes Park Police Department until 1997 when the program became incorporated. The Victim Assistance program became Estes Valley Victim Advocates, Inc., serving the entire Estes Valley including Glen Haven, Allenspark, Drake and all areas in between. In February 2007, Estes Valley Victim Advocates began offering safehousing for victims of domestic violence.

Over $500,000 was raised through a capital campaign to purchase the safehouse building.

Today, an Executive Director is responsible for the day-to-day workings of the agency, fund raising and grant writing as well as coordination of the volunteer advocate program. A Counselor, Administrative Assistant, Bilingual Outreach Coordinator, Safehouse Manager and 2 safehouse evening advocates round out the staff. “It would be nice to have a paid Volunteer Coordinator one day so I can spend more time on financial development,” says Ms. Mesropian, “We can no longer depend on government grants as we have in the past.”

The new Estes Valley Crisis Advocates will continue providing crisis advocacy at the time of the incident, prevention and education for the community, individual counseling and support groups as well as safehousing for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. As we look to the future of Crisis Advocates, other programs like specialized trainings on PTSD and Trauma Informed Care and more teen and children’s programs are hot topics in the office. Being known as the trauma experts in the community is one of our goals. And continuing to provide all our services at no charge is essential to our mission.

For information on our program and how you could become a part of Estes Valley Crisis Advocates, either as a volunteer, crisis advocate or board member, please call Mary at 577-9781 or email director@estesvalleyvictimadvocates.org.

“Geosciences of Dwarf Planets – Pluto Update” by special guest speaker Dr. Suzanne Metlay is the subject of this month’s Estes Valley Astronomical Society (EVAS) meeting. In conjunction with her talk, the Estes Park Memorial Observatory is offering a free public open house/star night this Saturday, August 22, 2015. The goal of EVAS is to promote amateur astronomy and education in the Estes valley.

Dwarf planets are small worlds with atmospheres and maybe fluids interacting with their rocky/icy surfaces. Let’s look at the geology and meteorology of Ceres and Pluto using the latest data and images from the Dawn and New Horizons missions.

We’ll discuss systems interactions and what this might mean for other dwarf planets in and beyond our solar system.

Suzanne Metlay is full-time faculty in Geoscience Teacher Education at Western Governors University, a fully online non-profit university founded in 1997 by 19 governors of western states, including Colorado. Previously, Suzanne taught astronomy and geology at Front Range Community College in Longmont and Fort Collins,

was Operations Director for Secure World Foundation in Superior, and served as Education Programs Manager at CU- Boulder’s Fiske Planetarium.

Suzanne has a BA in History and Science from Harvard University and a PhD in Geology and Planetary Science from the University of Pittsburgh. She was awarded the Antarctica Service Medal from the Department of the Navy and National Science Foundation for fieldwork conducted as a participant in the Antarctic Search for Meteorites (ANSMET) in 1991.

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 new 16 inch dome telescope at various celestial objects.

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

I just returned from a wonderful jam packed four days in Washington, D.C. I went with Marie and family but stayed with my granddaughter and grandson in-law. He is a Major in the Air Force and in charge of the weather for the President. The first day was spent mainly getting there and visiting but the second day was full of exercise. We rode a commuter train into the city and walked the mall. Now that is not a shopping mall, it is the mall of all the memorials of our country. We walked and saw everything from the Washington Memorial, the Vietnam Wall, the Lincoln Memorial to around the lake to the Jefferson Memorial. In total, it was about seven miles not counting walking to dinner and to and from the train station. Needless to say we were all sweaty and tired but happy we did it.

The next day we drove in and did the Smithsonian American History Museum and the National Archives Museum. We also walked to the White House and the Capital. To see all there is to see in Washington would take at least a month.

But it was thrilling to be in the presence of the original stars and stripes flag that inspired our National Anthem that flew over the battlements. We also enjoyed viewing of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and all of the other documents leading up to our Revolution and the founding of our country, it was awe inspiring. I felt so much love for our country when seeing all of these things. To top the visit off, we got to go to Camp David. Just to think that we walked in the footsteps of presidents from Franklin D. Roosevelt to the present President Obama, it blew our minds. We even bowled at the bowling alley where the President bowls with his family. I could go on and on. If any of y’all get the chance to go to our nation’s capital please do so, you will be glad that you did.

After all of that about Washington D.C., I thought that it would be appropriate to give a recipe that is always served in the Senate. It is a tradition and

served in a big brass kettle. Mr. Paul C. Johnson, head of services in the Senate dining rooms many years ago, gave this following recipe. I have made it many times but I do add a little garlic, dash of cayenne and thyme.

The Senate’s Bean Soup serves 10-12 1 ½ pounds of small navy (pea) beans 2 quarts of hot water ¾ pound smoked ham hocks 1 large onion, chopped.

2 cloves of garlic, chopped ½ tsp of dried thyme Dash of cayenne Butter Salt and black pepper Wash beans in hot water in a colander until they turn a nice white. Add them to pot with hot water and ham hock, thyme, garlic and cayenne and boil slowly about 3 hours or till tender up here at high altitude. This is where I use a pressure cooker for about 35 minutes and I also soak my beans overnight.

Braise onion in butter till a light brown and add to soup. Season with salt and black pepper and taste immediately before serving.

I know that we are still in summer but this soup would be nice on some of our coo, fall nights.

I am still so into my trip that I could just go back tomorrow to see and explore some more.

I did have a sorrowful event before I left. My little mini dachshund of 16 years had to be sent to doggie heaven. I came home to such an empty house. I know that anyone of you that has had that experience knows what I am going through. Our pets mean so much to us.

But I had him for a wonderfully long time and have many happy memories of him.

New Year At Estes Park Schools A Look At The Year Ahead From School Superintendent Sheldon Rosenkrance It is with pleasure that I welcome you to the 2015-16 school year. I hope that everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable summer. I am excited to have joined such an excellent team and look forward to carrying on the strong traditions of excellence and pride demonstrated by Estes Park School District. As the superintendent I am honored to be here as we embark on another school year and strive to achieve the mission of learning in an ever-changing world.

I would like to express my appreciation for all the hard work done during the summer months. Thanks to all who have helped prepare for the students to return this fall. We are excited about the resurfacing of the track, the addition of the Exercise Learning Center in the Middle School and the new playground equipment for the primary grades. I thank all that were involved with planning, donating and completing these fabulous additions to our school for our students.

After 26 years as a professional educator, my statement of core beliefs is still “a work in progress.” The experiences that I have in my own life, both professional and just life in general, as well as the never-ending opportunity for growth and learning, influence my thinking and refine my belief system. I know there is much more to do and areas to be addressed. As a leader, it is important for you know what I stand for. Whether you agree or not I want my beliefs to be clear, consistent, future focused and articulated on a regular basis.

I believe ......

Students are what we are about ....

The best interests of students must always come first. As educators, we have a moral obligation to build and sustain the best schools possible. Our schools need to be safe, orderly, and supportive for all students, as we are responsible for the welfare of each and every one of them.

Our students need and deserve the very best we have to offer them so that they will someday reach their full potentials and realize their dreams.

Excellent Education for Every Student in Every Classroom Everyday The fundamental purpose of the district is to ensure high levels of learning for every student. We must be relentless in our pursuit of success for all students.

If we are to achieve success for all stu-

dents, teachers must first work to build relationships with their students; for without strong and caring relationships, it is nearly impossible to inspire our students to achieve their highest potentials.

All means all; Every means Every; Success for ALL. Student learning is the priority in all we do The single most important thing school leaders can do to consistently focus the organization on student achievement is to frequently remind those who teach and work in the school district that this is our charge. In addition to this frequent and consistent articulation of the district’s core purpose, leaders must model this in our words, actions, and decisions as well. Our schools should cultivate in our students a desire for life-long learning, self-direction in their learning, critical thinking, and care for others.

Good teachers and good schools do make a difference Exemplary teaching is the key to improving student learning. Exemplary teaching is the key to moving all children toward high standards of learning.

Exemplary teaching is what can make a real difference for all children, regardless of race or socioeconomic status. To develop and sustain exemplary teaching, we must equip teachers with a variety of strategies to meet the needs of individual students and their diverse learning styles. Nearly all teachers that I have encountered over the years are dedicated and caring people, who want what is best for their students. Our school district is committed to providing support, training, encouragement, and resources to help them to be at their very best for the students under their care.

Much of the future of Estes Park will be the product of our choices we make now.

What we do today matters –we will shape the future intentionally or accidently.

Students in the Estes Park School District are currently performing reasonably well on the high-stakes tests that have been identified to assess their achievement. Our school district is comparable to many in the state. The emerging challenge, however, is to not only elevate struggling students to standard, but provide opportunities for students who have already met the minimum standards to stretch themselves to the highest levels of achievement. The name of the game nowadays is continuous improvement.

Continuous improvement is not about hurrying, but rather a steady, focused, and persistent approach to school improvement. We should never cease “looking for a better way” to educate our students.

We are in the business improvement for all ......

This notion is not exclusive to our students. We must also endeavor to cultivate knowledge, nurture skills, and develop leadership capacity in the adults throughout the organization and our community. We must challenge others to

reflect, analyze, question, and explore possibilities on a frequent basis. We must model and promote the ideal of a “learning organization.” Many of the problems and challenges that wil emerge in the future are much too complex in nature to rely upon a “select few” for solutions. We must cultivate knowledge and leadership throughout the system.

“Leaders are more powerful role models when they learn that when they teach” R.M. Kantor The Professional Learning Community Our schools are striving to become Professional Learning Communities. A Professional Learning Community (PLC) ensures that all students learn. We use the following questions to keep teaching efforts focused on meaningful learning and measurable results: • What is it that we want children to learn?

• How will we know they have learned it?

• How will we respond when a child experiences difficulty in learning?

• How will we respond when they already know it?

In a moment of shared challenge... we also have shared solutions...

Estes Park school and community has

had experienced too many shared challenges over the past few years; but the have also provided and continue to provide shared solutions.

Our professional experience is fraught with problems and challenges, and we have become experts at coping. The most influential and resilient leaders tend to view problems as "opportunities." When confronted with a seemingly impossible problem, exemplary leaders find ways to turn problems into opportunities to improve the school for our staff and students.

Passion and compassion...

Those who bring passion to their work will naturally foster passion in others around them. This energy, within a compassionate environment, inspires others to new heights and enables us to build and sustain a climate that is both productive and desirable.

As a learning community, we have shared problems.... We also have shared solutions. The future is our business; we prepare students for their future ... and ours.

Sincerely, Sheldon Rosenkrance Superintendent of Schools "Let us put our minds together and see what life we can make for our children." Sitting Bull

Shalibo Receives Community Excellence Award From The Old Gallery Every year there are people who go above and beyond in serving the communities of the Peak to Peak area. In 2014, the board of directors at The Old Gallery in Allenspark created the Community Excellence Award to recognize these individuals.

This year’s recipient was Don Shalibo, a retired construction professional from Michigan who donated more than $100,000 of his time to supervise the $1.3 million renovation of The Old Gallery, a Center for Community and the Arts in Allenspark.

“Don was involved in every step of the process, from initial design meetings and negotiations, to creating clean-up teams, helping with budgeting and financing and literally being on site every day during construction. We simply couldn’t have done it without him,” said Gregg Rogers, president of the Board of Directors for The Old Gallery.

Shalibo and his wife Marilyn have had a home in Allenspark for more than 30 years, and have spent many summers there. However, during the renovation project, they remained in Allenspark for the entire year so he could supervise the

project. “Winters are quite different here, and this was a tough one,” said Shalibo.

The first recipient of this award was Allenspark resident and Allenspark Excavators owner Dan Crane, recognized for his exceptional service during the flood of 2013. “When roads were washed out and area residents were stranded, Dan went to work clearing roads and driveways and rerouting water flow. He prevented Highway 7 from washing out near St. Malo Retreat, and rescue nine people who were stranded on Coyote Ridge, said Rogers.

The award is presented by The Old Gallery at its annual Gala, which raises funds for the center. The recipient can be a member of the community at large and is not limited to volunteers of The Old Gallery.

The Old Gallery is located at 14863 Colorado Highway 7, next to the Allenspark Fire Station.

The recent renovation project is being funded by a Capital Campaign, donations and grants. Additional donations can still be made at www.theoldgallery.org.

Estes Park CROP Walk For The Hungry

“We walk because they walk.” This is the motto of CROP, fundraising arm of Church World Service.

Who are “they?” They are the 854 million people who go to bed hungry every night. They are people like you and me, but because of poverty they must walk to accomplish the most basic tasks of life.

They walk for food.

They walk for water, which is often not clean.

They walk for fire wood.

They walk to escape violence.

They walk to seek shelter.

They walk to farm their fields.

They walk to take what they grow or make to market.

They walk to find employment.

They walk to go to school.

This is why there is little obesity in the third world, but it’s also why life is so hard.

I went to Malawi two years ago to help with the Marion Medical Mission to install pumps in shallow wells to provide clean water, and I saw people walking everywhere for everything.

There were very few cars or trucks, and bicycles were a prized possession. I saw men using their bicycles the way we might use a wheelbarrow, walking their bikes with stacks of scrap lumber six feet high on the back rack of the bike, making their way into town to sell it for firewood that would be used to cook food.

“We Walk, because they walk,” for everything. They walk not for exercise or recreation, but to live.

Join me in the Estes Park CROP Walk for the hungry on Sunday, September 20, 2015 around Lake Estes. Get a sponsor sheet and sign up your friends and relatives to sponsor you. Sponsor sheets can be obtained from the following churches: The United Methodist Church of Estes Park, Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church and the Presbyterian Community Church of Pinewood Springs. We’ll look forward to meeting you at the walk.

Nothing Shines Like Brass!

The Estes Park Music Festival presents a free public concert featuring the Denver Brass with Steven Taylor, vocalist, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Rocky Mountain National Park. Thank you to Barb Marshall for sponsoring this concert in “Celebration of the Arts” in Estes Park.

The concert will take place on Monday, August 31, at 7:30 p.m. at the Stanley Hotel Concert Hall. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Look for the new parking lot adjacent to the Concert Hall.

The Denver Brass presents a musical palate as diverse as the culture of the western US to present a sound experience that makes an impression long past the final chord of the concert, much as RMNP leaves indelible memories in the minds of its many visitors.

The Denver Brass was founded in 1981

by Kathy and Chuck Brantigan as an allnew, one-of-a-kind brass chamber ensemble which would be in the forefront of performance, entertainment, commissions and education. Recipient of the 2008 Mayor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts and voted Best Local Band in Denver on Channel 7’s 2010 “A-list, the Denver Brass is a style-melding band of 14 professional musicians. They are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life of audiences in Colorado and around the world by presenting fresh and exhilarating shows that feature all musical styles.

One of just a few professional large brass ensembles in the world, The Denver Brass enjoys a success directly linked to its universal appeal. People from every background find inspiration in its diverse

programming – classical, jazz, Broadway, Latin, and new sound sensations created by brass with bagpipes, steel drums, hand bells, fiddlers, voices and a variety of distinguished soloists. The Denver Brass and The Denver Brass Five are heard by more than 60,000 people at more than 150 performances annually, and through 25 CDs on the Klavier, Centaur, Delos and Denver Brass labels. The ensemble has more than 30 recordings and is heard daily on radio stations throughout the world.

The Denver Brass is also unique in the world for its cohesive and enthusiastic team. Musicians are selected not only for exceptional technical and creative skills, but also for their integrity, dedication to community and support of fellow musicians and mission. They enjoy and guard their close relationship with one another.

Their passions range from great music, to skiing, Colorado history and solving the world’s problems over a great glass of beer or fine wine.

Russell Lee Robinson September 15, 1951 - August 12, 2015 Russell (“Shorty”), a well known and respected individual for the past 33 years in Estes Park, passed away Wednesday evening, August 12th at Estes Park Medical Center due to complications from colon and intestinal cancer. He had no known family other than the many friends and companions here in the Estes Park community who watched over him, adopted him, and helped care for his needs.

Born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1951, he remained an avid Kansas City Chiefs and Royals fan until his last day, and probably beyond. Known for his “RED KC” attire on any given day of the year, especially on game day without exception, Russell would always take a good ribbing from other team fans, but never give up hope that KC would win the next one.

In 1982, Russell took a Greyhound bus ride and landed in Denver, Colorado. We heard he might have had an Aunt living there at the time. Sometime in the early summer months of 1982, the owner of the Old Plantation hired him and Russell worked there for many years, thus started his new home in Estes Park. Russell always talked of the pies being baked there at the Old Plantation. For the next 25 years Russell worked, helped and contributed to many of the business establishments in the Estes Park community. He was always faithful, prompt, courteous, respectful, and thankful to all he met that helped him.

About 2007, Russell announced “he retired,” and took up more enthusiastically the “KC sports” scene. During all football or baseball seasons, you could find Russell glued to a seat at Lonigans or the Wheel watching any game that was on, but never missing a KC game.

Occasionally, he would make a bet, and usually won a big pool. He might hold

a record in Estes for the most football pools won by an individual.

Russell’s other enjoyments were going to football and baseball games in Denver and the occasional trip to Blackhawk, from which, Russell always said he won! He also enjoyed listening to music, certainly Motown, Blues, and the Classic Rock. Sometimes you might even catch him humming a tune.

In 2010 he was diagnosed with colon and intestinal cancer, and underwent extensive surgery and treatments. For the last five years Russell was a super trooper showing exceptional, resilient character, fighting through his health and life hardships without a whimper or complaint until his last day.

We all loved Russell, helped care for him, and enjoyed his quiet humor, his respectful character, and his company for all the years he was with us. We will always remember the stories about him and the ones he shared with us. Thank you to all those persons who touched his life, helped care for him, and were his friend. Russell Robinson will be missed and always remembered.

A life celebration will be held at Lonigans, 110 West Elkhorn Ave, Estes Park in honor of Russell on Tuesday, August 25, 2015 from 6:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. All who knew Russell are welcome to share stories, memories and gather as friends. We will have music, and all drinks will be half price. We would ask folks to bring a potluck food dish to share.

Donations will be accepted for EPMC, Crossroads, and Salud.

Any questions, info or other help, please contact Dave Callahan at Lonigans, email: daveanddebbie@lonigans.com, cell: 970-556-1368.

Hugh Beckham Memorial Service As many of you know, Hugh loved living in the mountains and always said he would do whatever it took to live out his life there, however, when it became difficult for him to breathe at that elevation, we chose to move back to Wichita. Before we moved, he chose a special place where he wanted his ashes to be scattered. Hugh’s daughter Meredith, my twin sister Merrilyn, and I will be coming to Estes Park/Glen Haven to bring Hugh’s ashes to be scattered per his request. August 28th would have been his

83rd birthday and I thought that was a perfect time to have another celebration of his life. I plan to play a DVD of the service held in Wichita followed by an opportunity for those of you whose lives were touched

by Hugh to share your memories. We extend a heartfelt invitation to you to join us and we hope to see you there. We realize that this is a busy time for those who live in the Estes Valley, so if you can’t stay the entire time, please come anyway.

Garbage Garage Education Center Field Trip Recently, the League of Women Voters of Estes Park & Community Recycling Committee sponsored a field trip to the Garbage Garage Education Center in Larimer County. Joined by representatives of the Committee, community members and Mr. Ron Norris, Estes Park Trustee, car-pooled to the Garbage Garage to learn about trash and recycling in Larimer County.

We were greeted by an employee of the Garage, and being educated trash/recycling visitors, we were left on our own to plunge ourselves into the mysterious world of trash…in other words, we didn’t need the typical introduction to trash and recycling, its presence in our lives, and the crucial need to do something about it!

The first thing seen when entering the Garage is ‘The Mountain of Trash’ - that being the extremely visual display of trash…what a family of four would generate…if they did not recycle. Overwhelming to say the least…the display takes over the whole space of the Garage.

With interactive ports for information for the ‘hopeful’ tips for how this “mountain” could be modified and, therefore, be minimized, one is led to suggested adaptations on what a family of four could do to change their family trash profile.

Our group navigated the Garage individually; we took notes, we viewed the impressive displays, and the kids with us raced around, pushing buttons for dioramas and playing with trucks and coloring and enjoying the many kid-friendly activities available for the younger visitors. Of note, there were other moms and kids possibly having an educational visitation at the same time we were there…dare I think they were there to teach their kids the importance of recycling?

I, as the PR person of the group, made sure I gathered as much information as I could from the educational displays and the many handouts available throughout the Garage, and I was enthralled with the presentation in a factual…yet still ‘easy-to-understand’ exhibit - what an amazing concept this is…to be able to get concise information in a contained environment…literally, an old garage… how to change our lifestyles in an effective way with easy modifications that lead to significant impact in our environment…in our county…in our cities…in our towns…in our neighborhoods…in our homes…in our beautiful Estes Park - one of the most beautiful destinations in the world..

The person we have to thank for this is our own Mr. Frank Lancaster! He was

the creative and driving force behind this venture and there is a plaque there thanking him for his efforts. What a friend to the environment and Estes Park he is, and he deserves extreme respect and accolades for his efforts in developing this Education Center.

Of course, as the PR representative reporting on our field trip, I questioned my fellow visitors for their observations and comments for their ‘takeaway‘: Don Holmes….”It’s so overwhelming so many things I didn’t know about!”

Gunnison Berg (age 5)…”Everything it’s so amazing!” (Later that week, his mom, Kristen Berg, contacted me because Gunnison wanted to change his comment…”The baler in the Recycling Garage was the coolest!” …and his mom adds, “Yep, he played ‘Baler in the Garage’ with his Legos for the rest of the day - obviously, an impression was made!”

Kristen Berg…”The Mountain of Trash is horrifying - the visuals were very illustrative!”

JoAnn Batey…” I am still very impressed by the “Reusable vs. Disposable” Display from my earlier visit to the Garage…I was very inspired to go home and make some big changes in my purchasing and home habits…what I buy and don’t buy; cloth napkins…lifestyle changes are so very crucial!”

Judi Smith…” I wish more people would make use of this information…all here…in addition to what we promote as part of our activism through The League of Women Voters of Estes Park & Community Recycling Committee!”

Randy Maharry…”This exhibit is so very well done and more should see it!”

Ron Norris….” This is a great exhibit for kids and families… the importance of reducing and recycling…and I am so proud of Estes Park’s role in this facility and, of course, Frank Lancaster’s leadership in this effort.”

Me, Jana Larsen…. “What they said!”

The Garbage Garage Education Center is located at the Larimer County Landfill at 5887 South Taft Hill Road, in Fort Collins, Colorado 80526.

Call or email to schedule your tour at 970-498-5772 or to rwatson@larimer.org., or car-pool with us for our next community field trip.
