Accessory Dwelling Unit Regulations

A long-discussed topic that could help workforce housing shortage There's an old saying in public policy that "Sometimes you have to go slow to go fast." Well, sometimes things go SO slow they seem fast. A recent proposal to reconsider regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) is one of those issues. First, some background...An ADU is a separate living unit in a single family home. It can be a mother-in-law apartment, or an apartment in a basement or over an attached garage. ADUs are currently prohibited in the Estes Valley Land Use Code. These units could provide affordable housing for both seasonal and year-round workers and could help families afford a home by providing rental income. In this case, new draft regulations have only been proposed for ADUs that are attached or enclosed in the primary home -- not standalone cottages. Last week, the Estes Valley Planning Commission considered proposed code change to allow long-term rental of these housing units, and we heard comments that the Town is rushing into this with little consideration and transparency. Let me provide even more background...The issue of whether to allow ADUs or not has been discussed for

years. The first time I recall serious discussions was in 2012, when I was serving as the Larimer County Manager. At that time the Planning Commission, Board of County Commissioners and the Town Board could not agree on the details of new regulations and ultimately, the issue was dropped. In the meantime, the workforce housing crisis continued to grow. The issue of ADUs was raised again during the August 12, 2014 Town Board study session, as Staff continued to respond to the Board’s publicly adopted Strategic Plan to “Serve as a catalyst to develop housing solutions for all segments of our community. â€? A key option presented at that meeting was to consider: “Regulatory options could include revising the development code to remove regulatory obstacles such as prohibition on renting ADUs or allowing for ‘grandfathered’ density, increasing density allowances (support rezonings), allowing additional market rate units where workforce housing is included, or requiring workforce housing with new developments. â€? In 2015, the Town invited a team of key housing professionals and municipal leaders from the Colorado Association of Ski Towns (CAST), to present a brief overview of housing issues. Estes Park has a great deal in common with other CAST communities. Many are mountain resort towns which have been addressing their own serious issues with workforce and affordable housing for some time. CAST includes many mountain towns, like ours, which are not ski towns, such as Ouray and Glenwood Springs. The conclusions from the CAST report included: “If nothing changes then it’s likely Estes Park will: • Continue to be the oldest community in Colorado (2010 average age of residents was 51 years old) ; keep losing families and middle-income workers; increasingly become a town for second homeowners; and experience population growth primarily from retirees who made their living in other parts of the state (or other states). • Continue to have a shortage of workers, rely increasingly on in-commuters to fill jobs, impair the operation of local businesses, decrease the year-round tax
and revenue base attributed to locals, and compromise the visitor experience (your primary economic driver)." The 2015 CAST recommendations included ADUs as an important issue that needs to be addressed. Among CAST communities, most encourage and give incentives for ADUs. Estes Park is alone in prohibiting these types of rental units within existing homes. The 2016 Housing Needs Assessment sponsored by the Estes Park Housing Authority, with the support from Bank of Colorado Bank of Estes Park, Economic Development Corporation, Estes Park Board of REALTORSŽ, Estes Park Medical Center, Estes Park School District, Forward Estes Park Foundation, Rocky Mountain National Park and the Town of Estes Park, addressed the need for ADUs as number 4 of 11 key housing plan recommendations. This plan was presented in well-attended public meetings held by the Housing Authority and the Town earlier this year. ADUs were also identified in the May 2016 Housing Summit meeting -- a priority recommendation of the Housing Needs Assessment to pursue: Adopt Accessory Dwelling Unit Regulations for Workforce Rentals Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are often allowed and incentivized in mountain towns where land is limited and preserving community character is important. These units: • Typically provide long term rental housing for moderate/middle income families. • Rent for rates higher than charged by apartment projects, since private rents cannot be controlled in Colorado, and the attractiveness/location of the units enables them to command higher rents. • Contribute to the affordability of the primary residence by providing a source of income In other words, one accessory dwelling unit enhances the affordability/availability of two units. • Fit well within existing neighborhoods in terms of architecture and scale, often only need one parking space given their small size and location, and can be designed to be compatible with various neighborhood configurations through attached and detached designs.

EPNEWS.COM Continued from previous page • Add to attainable housing at no cost to the Town; however, Town incentives increase effectiveness. Most recently, the Town has heard from many employers who are very concerned about the impact of the upcoming closure of U. S. 34 for reconstruction. They have commuting employees who express an intention to quit and find work down in the valley. In an attempt to retain employees, employers are seeking affordable housing options to allow some of their employees to stay in here in Estes Park. Regarding discussion of new ADU regulations -- "fast" is in the eye of the beholder, but this discussion has been going on for well over five years. In the meantime we, as a community, have failed to meaningfully address the issue of workforce housing as it continues to
get worse. Whatever the future of ADUs is to be, that will be decided by your representatives on the Planning Commission and elected officials on the Town Board and Board of County Commissioners. This issue has been on the public plate for half a decade, and our housing issue is not going to get better on its own. It’s one potential solution to help address a big problem. The better question is not, "Why is this happening so fast?" but, "Why is this taking so long while the housing problem continues to grow?" For more information on the proposed ADU code amendments and a tentative review schedule by the Planning Commission, Town Board and Board of County Commissioners, please visit www.estes.org/EVDCAmendments.
As School Begins, Police Chief Kufeld Reminds Drivers To Be Aware Of School Zones & Crosswalks Estes Park public schools are back in session this week, which means more pedestrians and cyclists along Estes Park roadways. Police Chief Wes Kufeld reminds drivers to obey speed limits and school zones and pay special attention to pedestrians at crosswalks. Chief Kufeld commented, "We all need to share the road and take responsibility for the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists in our community." He continued, "While our police officers are actively enforcing the reduced speed limits, we rely on drivers to be fully aware of their surroundings. Preventing a tragedy is our top priority." School zones are clearly marked with signs indicating speed limits. While some signs advise drivers of a reduced speed limit when children are present, other signs flash a yellow light to advise drivers of reduced speed limits. Exact times vary, but signs generally flash on school days between 7:30 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. and from 3 p.m. until 3:45 p.m. Side street lights near the school flash up to 10 minutes longer. During these
Page 3
times, the speed limit in the school zone along Highway 7 is reduced to 25 miles per hour while side street speed limits are reduced to 20 miles per hour. Fines for speeding in a school zone are doubled. Even when school is out of session, drivers must watch for pedestrians at crosswalks, which are marked with lines on the roadway and bright yellow signage. Vehicles are required by law to stop for pedestrians at marked crosswalks. Fines are doubled for disregarding a school zone crosswalk. Chief Kufeld commented, "People tend to forget about the numerous crosswalks on Highway 7." Along Highway 7, crosswalks are positioned just south of U.S. 36 and at the intersections of First Street, Manford Avenue, Graves Avenue, Morgan Street, Lexington Lane and Pine Knoll Drive. Kufeld continued, "Please be cautious and keep a watchful eye out for pedestrians crossing streets, at driveways and at intersections."

Colorado Parks And Wildlife Introduces Bear Aware Videos Colorado Parks and Wildlife announces the release of four bear aware videos to educate the public about how to deal with bears in Colorado. As Colorado’s human population continues to grow, there are more people living and recreating in bear country. The potential for conflict will inevitably rise, but there are actions humans can take to mitigate bear break-ins, conflicts or run-ins on the trail. Bears have an extremely keen sense of smell and excellent memories. Once they have learned about a reliable source of food, they will often return. Once this occurs, it requires significant diligence on the part of people to keep these food-conditioned bears from coming back and creating conflicts. “CPW is committed to teaching the public about bears on every channel available to us,” said Kristin Cannon, district wildlife manager for Boulder. “While we have many great wildlife-related videos on our website and YouTube channel, we felt we were overdue on showing the public how to live in or visit bear country. Hopefully these videos will help Colorado natives, newcomers and visitors learn the tools to providing a safe and bear-friendly community.” All of the new videos are available on CPW’s easy-to-remember bear Web page at:cpw.state.co.us/bears or they can be found on the CPW YouTube channel: Bearproofing Your Home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Thv _eYXs0XU Solving Your Bear Problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftrY 2UZTw6k Camping & Hiking In Bear Country: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIJecAN_yOw What to Do if You See a Bear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB

wildlife and that we can all work together through common sense decisions to protect these beautiful creatures for future generations,” said Larry Rogstad, area wildlife manager for Boulder/Broomfield/southern Weld counties. “Wildlife officers are generally called on to intervene at the end of a long process. The bottom line is that by living mindfully the public has the greatest opportunity to lower risk to wildlife as we share an ever smaller world.” For more information on living with bears in Colorado, visit: www.cpw.state.co.us/bears

For a long time there was only one place I would take Estes Park visitors to have a cinnamon roll: the Glen Haven General Store. We made a breakfast picnic of the experience, packing the coffee and milk, tablecloth, plates and cups, sturdy forks and knives, and a washcloth for clean-up afterward. We would pick up our breakfast from the General Store, drive further down the road to our favorite picnic tables, enjoy the sweet, doughy rolls just out of the oven, and play by the river for a bit before heading back to Estes. We still enjoy a breakfast outing to the Glen Haven General Store, especially since we know what Steve and Becky Childs have been through to get the building back on its foundation after the flood and reopen for their loyal customers. Their big rolls are the same as they’ve always been. They are served warm and topped with a goodly amount of creamy frosting. But the best part about going to this one-horse town for cinnamon rolls is the ambiance: the great, wide, out-of-doors. The picnic tables down the way were washed out by the flood, but you can still sit at the tables in front of the General Store to have your breakfast. You can watch the hummingbirds dart about the bountiful hanging flower baskets, observe the steady stream of customers coming and going, hear the cowbells ring as the screen door opens and closes, chat with bicyclists as they fuel up before tackling the steep switchbacks ahead, and you can anticipate the stunning panorama of Longs Peak and its mighty companions as you summit the last switchback on your drive back (in your car) into the Estes valley. (The stoic service at the General Store is part of the experience. I think it’s all for show.) There are other cinnamon roll options in Estes Park these days, and since I’d reached my limit of Donut Haus donuts for one week and I’d paid my traditional visit to the Glen Haven General Store, it was time to check out a couple of the other sweet bread alternatives. I’d heard good things about Cinnamon’s Bakery, 920 W. Elkhorn Avenue. We drove west on Elkhorn, through downtown, then kept going and kept
going, until we finally pulled into Cinnamon’s parking lot and were met by owner Carol Fixter as she was leaving. She told us they close at 10:00 a.m. or when the rolls are sold out, whichever comes first. We’d noticed a line out the door earlier in the day at Scratch Deli and Bakery so that’s where we went instead. Located in that funny wedge of intersection at Spur 66 and High Drive across from Marys Lake Road, Scratch’s actual address is 911 Moraine Avenue. When we got there at 10:15 a.m. there were three cinnamon rolls and little else left on the baked goods tray atop the deli case. The rolls were so big we bought one and split it, sitting at one of the few tables in this tight-fitting establishment to eat it. The roll was very tall and although its frosting was smooth and deliciously buttery, the sturdy bread begged for even more butter. And cinnamon. We noted that Scratch is known more for its bulging sandwiches than for its breakfast fare. We went back to Cinnamon’s the next morning at 8:30 a.m. and got what we’d come for. The moist, yeasty rolls were smaller than Scratch’s and were loaded with cinnamon from top to bottom— but not too much. They were just right, really. The pecan rolls, which turned out to be my favorite, were laden with nuts and oozing with brown sugar goo. There were a few tables inside the building and several more outside but we opted to take our rolls to Sprague Lake to indulge, which may have had something to do with their five-star rating. Cinnamon’s pecan rolls were so good we ended up going back a third time to buy half-a-dozen to take to my parents in Lincoln, NE. It seemed right, as that’s where Carol first learned the recipe. There are other alternatives for cinnamon rolls in Estes Park, but going to three bakeries and one donut shop in the span of 10 days was enough. My sugar buzz has yet to subside.

Ideas And Inspirations On Display At Table Settings 101
The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation is hosting an open-house event called Table Settings 101 on Friday, September 2 at 2:00 pm. This special one-hour event, which is free and open to the public, will feature a variety of displays of creative table settings, with ideas on how best to utilize and arrange the tableware that many of us save for special occasions. The September 2 event takes place at the Estes Park Museum. Table Settings 101 is a prelude event to the first-ever Colorado TableSettings competition, scheduled for October 2123 at the YMCA of the Rockies. That weekend, participants will be provided space to arrange their own unique table settings around the theme, “High Country Celebrations—Past and Present.” The public is invited to attend as spectators. Those planning to participate as table setters are asked to register their entry form by October 1. The informal Table Settings 101 event on September 2 will offer those considering an entry the opportunity to gain a sense of the style and set-up that might lead to a winning arrangement. Snacks and refreshments will be served, and Museum Friends board members will discuss the specific details of the competition and the registration process. Individuals, families, groups, businesses, and
children alike are all invited to consider entering, and the event will feature winning categories for all these levels of entry. This October’s Creative Colorado Table Settings event is a fundraiser for the Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, which provides vital support for the Museum. Registration forms are available at the Estes Park Museum (200 4th St.) and online at http://estesparkmuseumfriends.org/creative-colorado-tablescapes/ (No registration is required to attend the September 2 open house event at the Estes Park Museum). The public is encouraged to watch for continuing announcements on this event—and to like it on Facebook at Creative Colorado Table Settings. Table setting contests have become very popular gatherings in recent years throughout the U.S. The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc., is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting the Museum through fundraising, publications, volunteerism, special projects and events.

The devastating flooding Estes Park experienced in 2013 caused extensive damage to the garden, forcing it to close. After a massive effort to remove debris, control erosion, and reestablish the garden as well as to protect the slope and rock wall, Mrs. Walsh’s Garden is now open to the public once more. Established primarily to build a demonstration xeriscape garden, Mrs. Walsh’s Garden showcases native plants that are viable in the Rocky Mountain area and the Estes Valley’s altitude and climate. Mrs. Walsh’s Garden was originally owned by Judy Lamy, who wanted to honor her grandmother who had once lived in the Estes Valley near where the garden now sits. Judy generously gifted Mrs. Walsh’s Garden to the Community Foundation in 2010, as well as a endowment fund now housed at the Foundation to support
its maintenance. In preparation for its reopening, new trees have been planted, new benches purchased, and new signage was erected. This effort to restore and reconstruct the garden will continue for years to come to ensure the enjoyment and safety of visitors. Mrs. Walsh’s Garden is open to visitors from dawn to dusk daily. About the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado The Community Foundation is a nonprofit, public foundation working to build permanent endowments for the benefit of charitable causes and organizations in Northern Colorado. It manages more than 400 individual charitable funds and over $90 million in assets. It serves a unique leadership role by bringing people and resources together around important local issues. More than 45 local nonprofit organizations have their endowments housed with the Community Foundation, and many individuals and businesses have established donor advised funds.

Today I can feel fall in the air. The birds have returned to my feeder as a lot of the summer flowers have lost their seed. There are still some left like my Columbines which are still in seed but the majority of food is gone. The choke cherries are in full production though. I have seen people picking them along the road going into Glen Haven. I had a dear friend, who once lived here, that made choke cherry jelly every year. I told her, “Girl, that takes a lot of picking.” Myrna always said: “But it is so worth it.” After she shared a jar with me, I could understand her enthusiasm. I must confess that I never took up the challenge but depended upon her generosity for a jar every year. I had forgotten all of this until the other day when another friend emailed me about how abundant the cherries are this year. Mack and Audrey are another couple who have fallen under the spell of making choke cherry jelly. The following is the email with their recipe. “The cherries are ready in most places and they look almost black in color. This year has been very good, because we have had rain at just the right times. Pick the cherries. Wash and cull 11 cups of cherries. Place cherries in stainless steel pan and cover with water to one inch above the fruit. Bring to a slow simmer and simmer for one hour. Cool covered until cool enough to handle. Work cherries through a colander using a pestle. You can line the colander with cheesecloth if wanted. This will eliminate the small amount of pulp that comes through the colander. You should get about six cups of juice. In a large sauce pan, 4 qt. is best because of foaming. Place: 3 c. cherry juice ½ c. lemon juice (Real Lemon) ½ c. apple juice 1 package pectin Heat and stir to boiling and then add 6
Genealogical Society Meeting September 8 At Estes Valley Library The Estes Park Genealogical Society will meet on Thursday, September 8th at 4 p.m. in the Hondius Room of the Estes Valley Library. Merle Moore, long time member of the Estes Park Genealogy Society will lead and facilitate a sharing workshop.

Those present at the meeting may share their programs and ask the owner of different programs to do a look up for them.
c. sugar and one pat of butter (about 1 t.). Heat to a rolling boil, or boiling you cannot stir down and boil for 4 min. Remove from heat and let stand for a few seconds. Skim off foam (we save foam for toast for breakfast). Pour the hot jelly into hot jars (keep jars ready in oven at 250 degrees). Use gloves. Close with sterilized lids, and rings. Turn upside down and place on newspapers. After 5 to 10 min. turn right side up and let cool. The yield should be 7 half pint jars. I hope some of you tried my recipe for shrimp and grits. Nathan even cooked them with Marie’s help. I am having New Orleans guest for the Scottish Festival and I plan on serving that recipe one of the nights. I can do a lot of it ahead of time so it will be a fairly quick and easy dish to finish. Sunshine is still up to her puppy tricks. I could not find my lipstick that I had placed on the kitchen counter. I looked everywhere. Guess who was wearing red? She looked so silly I could not get angry, I just laughed. Luckily she had taken it out on the deck so I did not have lipstick all over the rugs or walls. I could afford to laugh, Heaven help her and me if she had painted the house red.

Dear Editor, "Team Small But Mighty" of the 2016 Estes Park Relay for Life would like to thank everyone who participated in this year's Relay, and especially the wonderful people who contributed to Team Small But Mighty's" success as the 2016 top fundraising team. We couldn't have done this without the kindness and generosity of our contributors. Relay for Life is an important fundraising event for the American Cancer Society. This year "Team Small But Mighty" is grateful to have contributed almost $20,000 to the total raised in Estes Park. This money, as well as monies from other Relays across the nation, goes directly to the American Cancer Society to expand and deliver more programs, research and services to people fighting cancer. More than 1 million people in the United States get cancer each year. More people than ever are surviving cancer and thriving after treatment today. The number of survivors is growing however, there is more work to do to find a cure for this dreaded disease. Thank you to all the contributors to 'Team Small But Mighty's" Letter of Hope. Your generosity helps to create the fuel for the American Cancer Society's mission and the "Hope" that mission brings to all of us. Most Sincerely, 'Team Small But Mighty" Sue & Jerry Bergeron Stacey & Robin Harding Wendy Schuett

America did not want the war on terrorism, just as Americans did not want any war in our history. Yet, here we are 15 years since the images of the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon and the Pennsylvanian countryside were seared into our memory. The ability to remember important dates often escapes each of us in our busy lives. One date can never be forgotten and that is September 11, 2001. Members of the American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary and Sons of the American Legion in Estes Park urge you to attend the annual September 11th Remembrance Ceremony, our community’s commemoration. Our own community’s first responders will lead a special time of remembrance: Estes Park Police, Captain Eric Rose; Estes Valley Fire Protection District, Fire Chief David Wolf; Emergency Medical Services Director Mike Bielmaier; and
Legion Post 119, Commander Terry Rizzuti. Their reflections will be heard at the American Legion Hall, 850 N. St. Vrain Ave., Estes Park starting at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 11th. More than 3,000 innocent men, women and children lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001, when four hijacked airliners were used as weapons of mass destruction. We must remember those who died, and we must remember that even today brave Americans are engaged in the war on terrorism. Our men and women in uniform understand that America’s freedom has always been purchased by the blood of patriots, as do generations of veterans before them. Plan now to pause and remember Sept. 11th with our first responders at the American Legion Hall at 4:00 p.m. It’s the right thing to do. American Legion Post 119 Honor Guard, Sharyn Gartner

Update About The Community Corner Café
Season seven for Community Corner Café (C-3) is just around the corner and we wanted to share some exciting happenings. C-3 is a Free Meal, served Friday nights, (4:30-6:30 p.m.) at Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran Church. Over the past six seasons we have shared 27,304 meals with the Estes Park community. More important than the good food, is the fellowship and friendships that have developed over the years. Over 30 different service groups help prepare and serve the meals. It is a fun night building community and the meal is free. Generally we serve every Friday night from Oct. 1 to April 30. All are welcome to come. We are hoping to make some significant changes in the layout and operation of the kitchen to enhance all operations. A
building permit has been approved and bids received. We are still in the process of raising funds to meet some additional requirements from the Sanitation District (a grease trap) and the Fire District (a fire suppression hood). Construction is estimated to take 4560 days but cannot start until the funds are in hand or pledged. This means that the Café may be delayed a week or two starting this fall. Every effort is being made to complete the remodel process in the shortest amount of time. We look forward to sharing a new space with all guests and will keep the updates coming. If you would like to help support these remodeling efforts we invite you to make a financial contribution. Any amount is greatly appreciated. Checks are tax deductible and should be made out to Community Corner Café, with the notation Kitchen Remodel. They can be sent care of Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran Church, 2000 Ptarmigan, Estes Park, CO 80517. For further information you can contact Kelly or Gary Brown at 970-586-2021.

THE SAINTS ARE CIRCULATING A few weeks ago I relayed the story about the statues in a cathedral being melted down so the silver could be used to pay a nation’s bills. Cromwell said it was time for the ‘saints to be put into circulation’. I issued a challenge to us that we…God’s ‘saints’ of today…be more evident as we circulate in our society. It has been refreshing to see the many athletes in the 2016 Olympics in Rio that have ‘let their light shine’ so that people could see their good ‘works’…victories and lifestyles…and glorify God, as they did. As I read the testimonies of these noble athletes I was reminded of a time we were blessed to be on the Big Island of Hawaii when the Ironman Triathlon Championships were being run. As we prepared to help pass out Gatorade to bike riders we learned that a returning champion, Chad Hawker, was going to speak at a school there. We knew that Chad, early in his life, had suffered a brain tumor. Since our grandson had suffered a brain tumor we wanted to interview Chad…a world champion…to get encouraging words to pass on to our grandson, to assure him that a brain tumor did not mean limited success…he, too, could be a ‘champion’. We got more than we bargained for. Chad was a strong Christian and he was very open about his Christian faith, even starting an Ironman Prayer service the day before each race, for any Ironman participants to attend who felt a need for devine help and protection during the race. He invited us to join him there. We were thrilled to walk into a large room filled with people who wanted to participate in the devotional and the prayer time that Chad would lead. After a moving worship experience involving these great athletes, Chad took us around and introduced us to the previous Ironman‘s female champion and others who had been in previous races and shared Chad’s Christian faith. He continues to speak to groups and lecture about how God has impacted his life and contributed to his success. In the same way that these athletes were open about their faith, so many from the 2016 Olympics were vocal about their dependence on and praise of God and Christ. Gold medalist swimmer Simone Manual in her victory speech said, “All I can say is all glory to God!” David Boudia and Steele Johnson, Silver medal winners in men’s synchronized diving, expressed their faith in these words: “We both know that our identity is in Christ. God’s given us a cool opportunity and we’re glad we could come away with a Silver medal.” The US women’s 100 and 400 meters relay winners were seen praying after each victory. Medal winner Michael Phelps reminds people that he was a ‘train wreck’ before God intervened. Katie Ladecky (swimmer), Usain Bolt (runner), Gabby Douglas and Simone Biles (gymnasts), and Kevin Durant (basketball) gave God glory. It was not only seen among medal winners. When two runners, Nikki Hamblin and Abby D’Agostino tripped and fell, an injured D’Agostino helped Hamblin up and they finished the race together. She said later: “This whole time here, God’s made it clear that my time here was to be about more than race performance—as soon as Nikki got up, I knew that was it.” She said, “We pray, not that God will favor us with victory, but that we will be aware of His presence and have the grace to do what He would have us do.” I am proud of all who have honorably and successfully represented our nation, and even more proud of those who have openly honored our God and their faith.

Facing Your Fears: Straight Talk About The Dying Process Estes Valley Home Health Care and Hospice to present free program The Town of Estes Park’s Senior Services Division and Estes Valley Home Health Care and Hospice are collaborating to offer a free program on Tuesday, September 6 from 1:00-3:00 p.m. at the Estes Park Senior Center, 220 Fourth Street. Space is limited; please call or stop by the Senior Center to sign up. “Facing Your Fears: Straight Talk about the Dying Process” is a 45-minute film that speaks directly to the lay caregiver about the natural changes that may accompany dying. Nancy Bell, Social Worker, and Brenda Fox, Chaplin, will introduce the film and follow it with an interactive discussion about topics related to end-of-life care. According to Nancy, the film has proven to be a valuable resource and support for individuals and families. It answers questions, addresses some of the practical issues of caring for a loved one who is dying, and also speaks beautifully to the mystery of
this sacred and powerful time for families. The intension of the film and discussion is to minimize fear around this topic and provide a sense of empowerment and peace.

Learn About The Five Moons Of Pluto at EV Observatory Program The Five Moons of Pluto is the subject of this month’s Estes Valley Astronomical Society (EVAS) meeting. EVAS in conjunction with The Estes Park Memorial Observatory is offering a free public open house/star night on Saturday, August 27, 2016. The goal of EVAS is to promote amateur astronomy and education in the Estes valley. Our speaker for this public star night will be Dr Suzanne Metlay from Western Governors University. Her talk will be about the “Five Moons of Pluto.” Charon and the other moons of Pluto have been revealed by the New Horizons spacecraft to be fascinating worlds. Using the latest imagery from NASA, let’s explore the dark deposits of Mordor near Charon’s North Pole, and then take a look at the red crater on Nix. Styx and Kerberos have their own surprises too! Investigate the family of objects orbiting our solar system’s first known dwarf planet as professional geoscientists struggle to explain what we see and why it’s there. Let’s celebrate the success of the New Horizons mission as this wellengineered marvel continues on to its next encounter in the Kuiper Belt and let’s reflect on what we may yet learn. Suzanne Metlay is full-time faculty in Geoscience Teacher Education at West-
ern 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.

Look To Your Library: Honoring Our Past - Continuing Our Legacy One hundred years ago, the trailblazers came to the valley. They gathered people, mossy rocks & 292 books and they built a library. The Estes Valley Library was created 100 years ago by adventurous, tenacious women. These women started planning the library in 1914. They had a mission. By 1916, they resolved to have the very first library in the Estes Park School. The initial plans for a building were, of course, daunting for the times. While the funds were raised to purchase land, the school became a more viable option for getting started. Florence Bond was the first librarian. The Womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club defined the next 50 years of the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. They raised $5,000 to build and furnish a small stone and stucco building in Bond Park, which opened in 1922. Florence Bond retired in 1941 after serving the library for 25 years. From the 1940s through the 1960s, the library continued to have a member of the Womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club at the helm. Ora Carr served as the librarian for 24 years. The Bond Park library location was expanded thanks to the generosity of Eleanor Hondius and her son Pieter Hondius, Jr. The library was thriving and growing thanks to the fortitude and dedication of these two women and the Womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club. The next three decades brought many changes to the library with different directors and librarians working to im-
prove the library collection and programs offered. In the fall of 1988, voters approved a library-taxing district. This support from the community allowed for the continued development of library services and paved the way for a new building in 1991. Less than 10 years later, there was a successful vote allowed for the construction of a second floor. With strong community support, the library leapt into the new millenium with exciting technology and new opportunities to learn and grow as a community. Our current director, Claudine Perrault, arrived in 2005. Since her arrival, the library has taken great strides to meet community needs including remodeling the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room, advancing technology services, initiating a One Book Community Read, and passing an integral bond issue to sustain essential library services and keep the library as a vibrant center of the community for the future. Just as it was 100 years ago, there continues to be trailblazers and forwardthinkers engaged in ensuring that the library continues to reflect the determination of our founders. At the heart of the library history, there is a common thread â&#x20AC;&#x201C; unmatchable community support and tenacious library leaders who have always known how to make the library thrive. It is more than a history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is a legacy.

“climate change is the canvas on which the history of the 21st century will be painted.” All of the material of this book comes from peer-reviewed scientific literature. Each chapter describes the consensus of the climate change prediction models being run throughout the world. As we will see in Chapter 6, the models suggest it is possible that unless we sharply reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, the earth’s temperature could rise to levels not seen in 55 million years by the end of this century (2100)! The message is clear: We must replace fossil fuel energy with wind and solar energy and quickly. To do otherwise is to leave the mess we have created to future generations! Each session will be led by Dr. Paul Newendorp, who has an environmental education background. Feel free to call Connie Dedon (586-4078) for questions and availability of books. All are invited. Bring friends, neighbors, and anyone who would like to go in depth into this profound topic.

Plein Air Rockies Premiers Saturday At The CAC Gallery Quick Draw and Auction to be held 8:30 Saturday morning in Riverside Plaza The largest and most comprehensive art event in Estes Park is coming to fruition this Saturday. Plein Air Rockies, a Festival of Outdoor Painting, featuring 28 local and visiting artists, will exhibit the best of the work they have completed over the past two weeks at a gala opening and awards ceremony starting at 5 p.m. at the Cultural Arts Council fine art gallery. Also on August 27, the most exciting event of the two-week paint-out the Quick Draw and Auction - will take place beginning at 8:30 a.m. in Riverside Plaza. “This has been an amazing event,” said Barb Boyer Buck, executive director of the CAC. “We've been hosting some of the top plein air artists from all over the United States for the past two weeks.” CAC is the local nonprofit which produces Plein Air Rockies every year. Artists were juried in from all over the country based on past examples of their plein air work and invited to Estes Park to paint the beautiful Colorado Rockies for this competition.
Since Aug. 13, participants have been spotted within a 50-mile radius painting “en plein air” (in the open air), braving quickly-changing mountain weather conditions. The group is painting as many pieces as they can complete and then each artist will choose the best three created to enter into the competition. “More than $11,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded,” Boyer Buck said. The 2016 Plein Air Rockies exhibition will continue at the gallery through September (with a special First Friday celebration on September 2 featuring plein air demonstrations) and be refreshed in October for the Fall Colors show. “Those works from participating artists who wish to return to paint for two weeks in September will be added to the existing exhibition for Fall Colors which opens Oct. 7 at a First Friday celebration.” The first chance to see the results of this year's plein air competition is to purchase a VIP ticket for the preview show, held from 1-3 p.m. August 27. “This an opportunity for collectors to have a first chance to see, first chance to buy,” Boyer Buck explained. The ticket price is $100 and will apply to the purchase of at 2016 Plein Air Rockies painting. “Later in the
evening, the gala opening and awards ceremony at 5 p.m. is free and open to the public,” Boyer Buck said. “Attendees are encouraged to vote for their favorite piece for the People's Choice award by 6:45 p.m.” The winner of this will be announced with the rest of the awards at approximately 7:15 p.m. Participating artists will also choose a favorite among the collection to designate Artists' Choice. But art lovers don't need to wait until the afternoon to join in the fun. On Saturday morning, the most exciting part of Plein Air Rockies kicks off in Riverside Plaza at 8:30 when participating artists hear the whistle, signaling they have 90 minutes to complete a painting. “For the Quick Draw and Auction, we will have a

fly-fisherman in the river as a model; or, the artists may choose to paint any scene in the immediate environment,” Boyer Buck explained. After the 1.5 hours is up, painters put down their brushes and deliver their artwork to the tent to be judged. International artist Lani Vlaanderen of Drake will be the 2016 Quick Draw judge and will determine first, second, and third place winners before the auction starts. “We expect the auction to be underway by 11 a.m. at the latest,” Boyer Buck said. “But bidders need to give themselves time to check in and get a bid card.” The auction is open to anyone who wishes to participate, and the public is also welcome to watch the artists compete in this fast-and-furious paint-out competition. The Plein Air Red and Plein Air White wines created by Estes Park's Snowy Peaks Winery will be auctioned off as well. Auctioneer Rachelle Repine will conduct the auction. This year's Plein Air Rockies artists are: Janet Anderson, Denver; Cliff Austin, Boulder; Olena Babek, Hartland, Maine; Bonnie Bowne, Fort Collins; Lon Brauer, Granite City, IL; Michael Clark, Denver; Jenifer Cline, Loveland; Linda Dellandre, Montgomery, TX; Carol Devereaux, Dallas, TX; Mary Frankel, Estes Park; Cathy Goodale, Estes Park; Gary Gore, Palmer Lake; David Harms, Denver; Kathleen Hudson, Lexington, KY; Neal Hughes, Moorestown, NJ; Jane Hunt, Boulder; Kathleen Lanzoni, Boulder; Larry De-
Graff, Estes Park; Donna Lyons, Grand Lake; Erich Neubert, Dana Point, CA; Dennis Rhodes, Evergreen; Richard Russell, Blanding, UT; Scott Ruthven, Fort Collins; Jason Sacran, Fort Smith, AR; Will Spear, Fort Collins; R. Greg Summers, Overland Park, KS; Cecy Turner, Estes Park; and, Virginia Unseld, Black Hawk. “We couldn't have done any of this without the support of the Estes Park community and our corporate sponsors,” Boyer Buck said. “Rob and Julie Pieper of Poppys' and Mama Rose's have graciously donated the food for the opening reception and Amy Hamrick at Kind Coffee is contributing coffee for our artists the morning of the Quick Draw. Candice Mohr of Snowy Peaks has once again created an amazing set of red and white wines to honor the festival and to serve at our receptions.” Other sponsors include the many Estes Park residents who have hosted an artist during this time, Rick Martinez of AVT Productions who has donated his time to be the festival's official photographer; and, several generous cash donors who wish to remain anonymous. Corporate sponsors include Jack Richeson & Company, Blick Art Materials, Colorado Fine Art Supply, Judson Air Outfitters, Southwest Art Magazine, Plein Air Magazine, and Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine. “And of course, a special thank-you to our local newspapers - the Estes Park Trail-Gazette and the Estes Park News for their in-kind contributions for publicity purposes,” Boyer Buck said.

Dave Kindig, car builder, designer, Goodguys Trendsetter award winner, TV star and all around Goodguy will be at the Goodguys 19th Colorado Nationals, September 9-11 at the Ranch Events Complex in Loveland. A couple of years ago, Kindig It Design was catapulted into the car TV scene with their wildly popular show, Bitchin’ Rides on Velocity Channel. Kindig, a die-hard car guy, along with his wife, Charity, created their business, Kindig-It Designs and built a one stop, complete custom shop where autos are turned into spectacular works of art. Dave, whose engineering degree comes from Hot Wheels and Legos, along with his team, turn out creations and some of the most unique and creative designs on the planet. Dave began designing cars at the age of five, and has spent his life designing and creating some incredible rides! His first build, a custom Volkswagen, was the beginning of an amazing career for sure. Dave previously worked for High Performance Coatings in Salt Lake City, UT and was able to travel the US and meet car builders and designers. His first design job was for Arizona Speed and Marine designing their 1999 Chevrolet Silverado ASM/SS which was featured in Truckin’ Magazine. From there, his design career took off and he began designing for custom car builders and magazines. Soon after, he departed High Performance Coatings and with only $4,700, a lot of determination and a dream, he started what is now known as Kindig-It Design.
Kindig-It Design now is a 27,000 sq ft. shop with state of the art metal fabrication/paint facilities and in-house upholstery. Kindig-It’s crew has won Utah’s Finest seven times at the Salt Lake City Autorama, numerous awards at Goodguys events and most recently, won the GM Design award with a ’37 Chevy Coupe at the SEMA Show. Their projects have been featured in numerous magazines that have received worldwide notoriety. Dave Kindig is a self-made, hard working guy, who wakes up each day knowing that he’s going to help build someone’s dreams. To meet Dave, Kevin and the rest of the Kindig-It crew, stop by their display at the 19th Colorado Nationals. They are available for autographs and will have several of their builds on display.

Community Bible Study Classes Start September 12 & 13
PRICE New REDUCED Price
There are lots of bible study classes in the Estes Valley but there’s nothing quite like Community Bible Study. It’s a nondenominational study of God’s word that includes reading, home study questions which are discussed in small groups, and a teaching session. “There are two Community Bible Study classes in Estes Park, which is amazing when you think of the size of our little town, especially in winter,” says Robbi Telfer, Teaching Director of the Evening Class. “Both classes meet during the school year, with breaks for Christmas and the annual school Spring Break.” The Evening Class is coed, and meets from 5:30-7:00 p.m. every Monday evening starting September 12 at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church, 920 Big Thompson Ave. (Highway 34). Hearty snacks will be available so that people can come straight from work and not starve. The Day Class, which is for women and children, meets from 9:15 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday mornings starting September 13 at Mountain View Bible Fellowship on Highway 7 at Peak View Dr. “The day class has a wonderful children’s program. It’s not just baby-sitting – the kids study the Bible too,” says Katie Soliday, Teaching Director of the Day Class. Both classes this year will be studying the Old Testament books of Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers. The course is called, “From the Red Sea to the Jordan River.” “It is the story of God’s redeeming love. How He enters history and accompanies
His people,” says Telfer. “ It’s full of pictures, really, of what our own stories look like, how God’s redeeming love is not only with us, but living in us, living through us, through His Holy Spirit.” Some people say, “It you’re studying the Old Testament, count me out -- too old, too bloody, too confusing.” But Telfer says, “They miss so much if they don’t read and study the Old Testament. God hasn’t changed. The God of the Old Testament is the God of the New Testament. Sometimes we have to look a little deeper to see Him, but there’s nothing wrong with looking deep. What we see when we look deep into the Old Testament is ‘the deep, deep love of Jesus,’ as the old hymn says.” “I am amazed at how very relevant this study is for our lives in today's world,” says Soliday. “The Journey from the Red Sea to the Jordan shows us an all-powerful God rescuing His people from an evil dictator. What a hero! Then it goes on to show us how to be grateful and live in the freedom He gives. If you have any concerns about what our future may hold, you need to meet this rock-solid, allpowerful God of Moses!” So, mark your calendars now: Community Bible Study starts Sept. 12 & 13th. The registration fee is $35 for the entire year. Study guides are given to each person. Scholarships are available. For more information on the Evening Class, contact Robbi Telfer at 586-5260 or Linda Wold at 577-8585. For the Day Class, call Allison Ingram at 481-6413 or Katie Soliday at 586-9576.

Recycling Update By: Judi Smith
In the state of Colorado, it is against the law to “throw out” electronics into the landfill. This means that television sets, central processing units (CPUs), computer monitors, peripherals, printers, fax machines, laptops, notebooks, ultra books, net books, electronic tablets, digital video disc (DVD) players, video cassette recorders (VCRs), radios, stereos, video game consoles and video display devices with viewing screens greater than four inches diagonally cannot be placed in your trash can or taken to the local Waste Transfer Station. Such e-waste can contain hazardous material the could contaminate the soil and the ground water after long term burial. Spent electronics also contain valuable resources which should be captured and recycled by qualified personnel. Therefore, in 2013, Colorado elected to prohibit landfill disposal for all entities, residential and business. With today’s ever changing upgrades, any electronic equipment, from phones to the latest desktop or notebook, to say nothing of audio equipment and TVs, is already passé by the time you open the box. So, when you are done with it, what do you do with it? First, regardless of impending disposition, clean the equipment of all personal information. Then, you have only three choices: 1) Give it away to someone who can still use it (if it is still useful), or 2) Take it to one of the E-waste centers in the valley, or 3) save it
for the Oct. 8 E-cycling in Estes Park – but do not throw it out in landfill or recycling bin. While electronics can be taken to any center that passes them on to a certified recycler, Colorado is structured so that things labeled “hazardous waste” must be taken to the assigned landfill determined by geography. They cannot (by law) be contributed to the landfill, nor to the usual recycling streams and, in general, they are not welcomed by other Haz-Mat centers. They include things that are toxic, flammable, corrosive, and explosive plus those that prove to be irritants to skin, eyes, mucous membrane, or the respiratory system. Similar to their Recycling Transfer Station, Larimer County takes household hazardous waste for free but charges businesses. A list of likely materials and instructions for each category is available at www.larimer.org/solidwaste/haz.htm Colorado became a PaintCare state in 2015. By law, paint is no longer eligible to disposed of in the landfill (or in traditional recycling), but Larimer County Landfill also serves as a PaintCare location. Household paints, such as latex, can be delivered to any PaintCare location for sharing or recycling. There are limitations on size and on exact type of paint. For more details see www.paintcare.org The next meeting of the LWV & Community Recycling Committee is 10 a.m., Sept. 7 in the Wasson Room at the EV Library. Anyone with an interest is welcome to join us.

If you want to hear world class classical music, you usually have to head to Boulder or Denver. But this Friday, you just have to head to The Old Gallery in Allenspark, a tiny hamlet of 528 people located 20 minutes south of Estes Park on Highway 7. The famed Takács Quartet will perform there on Friday, August 26. The quartet plays with a unique blend of drama, warmth and humor, combining four distinct musical personalities to bring fresh insights to the string quartet repertoire. It consists of Edward Dusinberre, violin; Károly Schranz, violin; Geraldine Walther; viola and András Fejer, cello. They will perform an all Ludwig Van Beethoven Concert, including Quartet in F-Major, Op. 18, Nr.1, Quartet in F Minor, Op.95 and Quartet in C-sharp Minor, Op. 131. Dave Pinkow, a previous board member of The Old Gallery and a member of the steering committee for its Food Bank
which distributes food and supplies twice monthly, knows the members of the group. “All it took was a phone call to set this up. We’re just thrilled,” Patterson said. Tickets are $30 for adults, $25 for seniors 65 and older and students with ID. Tickets are available at The Old Gallery and Distant Harbors in Allenspark and Macdonald Book Shop in Estes Park. The event is presented by The Old Gallery and the Peak to Peak Concert Series. The Old Gallery is located at 14863 Colorado Highway 7, next to the Allenspark Fire Station. Carpooling to the event is encouraged. Parking is available on Highway 7 or in the parking lot next to the Allenspark Transfer Station. The Old Gallery recently completed a renovation project, which is being funded by a Capital Campaign, donations and grants. Additional donations can still be made at www.theoldgallery.org.

underlying cause of death for 3.5 million children each year? That is about one third of all child deaths in the world. Upper arm circumference is one measurement of malnutrition. An average five year old’s upper arm is about seven inches around. A severely malnourished child’s arm would be less than three inches around. Factors contributing to this malnutrition are many--droughts, disasters that decimate crops, lack of clean water, poor sanitation and hygiene and rising food prices, to name a few. Taking part in the Estes Park Walk for the Hungry is a way to say “”I care about the hungry, I am a citizen of the world as well as America, I am my brother’s keeper” Eighty-five percent of all funds received by Church World Service is used for meeting the needs of the truly needy for food, shelter, clean water and other relief resources, thus making our dollars go further.

At Estes Park Elementary School, Math Is In Our Path
To start this school year, the Board of Education installed vinyl strips of math equations with multiplication on a set of stairs on the 3rd Grade wing of the Elementary School. The idea was to put math in an unsuspecting, yet highly viewed area for the students and get them more excited about learning. Educators and administrators alike strongly believe that repetition and visualization helps students with their math fluency. Equipped with adhesive backed vinyl strips, handy dandy vinyl squeegees and some light coaching, the Estes Park Board of Education took on the task of
installing the math stairs on the morning of August 15th, 2016. The vinyl strips were printed by local business, Unink, owned and operated by Aaron Petrie. With the successful project under way and the first installment completed, they were able to say, move over flash cards, hello, colorful stairs. As part of a new initiative where “The Board Gives Back,” this project is a message from the Board of Education, as well as the administration team and staff to say, “This aspect of learning is important to us and we want to give it the spotlight it deserves.” The third grade hallway was the first in the series of two installations, with the Kindergarten wing of the school to be completed in the next year or so. The Board of Education gathered information from the teachers in each grade group on what they would like to see used in the
application. Multiplication was used for the older students, whereas the younger K-2 teachers opted for more a more simple approach of numbers listed out in different sequences. One of the main reasons for doing this was to open the opportunity of learning by “play” through different number based math games for the students. Teachers are already planning how to include the math stairs into their lesson planning and they
are very excited to use them as a learning
tool. The hope is that the math stairs will inspire teachers and students alike to constantly keep math problems and equations in the forefront of their thinking. By engaging the students’ with these fun colorful stairs, they are more likely to remember the problems and quiz each other on them. Additionally, the goal is to provide a great way to keep students visualizing math and have them constantly reminded of their math facts. The project has sparked conversations about other innovative ways to include learning in what is viewed as otherwise a mundane or unutilized space. Thinking outside of the classroom helps to keep the students minds working and developing. At the Estes Park School District R-3, the Board of Education, Administration and Staff will continue to brainstorm and bring education and learning to a higher level. The Board of Education is made up of the following members: Cody Walker, President Laura Case, Vice President Eric Adams, Treasurer Jason Cushner, Secretary Jonathan Hodde, Director All five board members have children in the District and are enjoying being an integral part of bringing innovation through instruction to the forefront of learning.

Successful Summer Hoops This summer was exciting for the Middle School Ladycat basketball feeder program. Seventeen girls dedicated themselves to weekly practice time and games in Fort Collins. Most of these hoopsters have been playing for the past two years, putting in the time it takes to find success on the court. The 6th grade girls team ended their summer season with an impressive 6-1 record. Skill improvement and teamwork were highlights and according to coach Dave Kiser; “Time in the gym is translating into wins.” Players included Kenzie Carnell, Amelia Goodwin, Maia Kinley, Maya Kiser, Brita Ostrich, Lydia Pita, Anna Roberts-Briggs, Rienne Steckline and Bree Wilkerson. In addition, the 7th grade girls team ended the summer with a record of 2-4. Many of the games were close and the final record was not at all indicative of the progress and improvement that the team made over the season. Coach Travis
Machalek stated, “We are extremely proud of how far the team has come and the continuing level of dedication these ladies have shown to the sport. These girls have a bright future and we look forward to continuing to watch them grow as people and as basketball players.” Players included Sawyer Collinet, Abby Kamprath, Molly Larson, Sydney Lewelling, Kaelyn Payne, Hailey Rasmussen, Kadynce Shotts and Bella Walker. Special thanks to all the coaches including Katherine Ellerman and the dedicated parents who take the time from their busy schedules to get athletes to practice and games. These efforts make all the difference! Opportunities to participate in the Ladycat basketball feeder program (2nd-5th grade + Middle School ages) are coming in October. Contact Marcie_Kiser@estesschools.org with any questions.

Three Centenarians And One Centenarian Plus Five Eleanor Whipple
Eleanor Whipple Three centenarians Virginia Webb, Mary Callowich, and Eleanor Whipple.
The year 2016 is a big year at the Good Samaritan Society – Estes Park Village. We have celebrated the 100th birthday of three residents and the 105th birthday of one more. The general feeling of all of the ladies is that life is short and you must live it
to its fullest. Sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself is not on the agenda for any of them. They are truly an inspiration. Please enjoy these very brief snippets of the lives of each of these ladies.
Mary Callowich

Eleanor Whipple Ph. D., D.H.L. was born in Bellingham, Washington on June 7th, 1916 to encouraging parents who provided her with a strong Christian background. Her father authored seven books about his childhood visits to Heaven. Eleanor's parents introduced her to nature, exploration and camping which became her interests outside of work. She joined the Girl Scouts when she was thirteen. In 1939 she conducted a daily vacation camp for underprivileged girls. The camp began with five counselors and fifteen girls a week and grew over several years. Eleanor holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Washington and a Ph.D. from The University of Santa Barbara in Educational Psychology as well as an honorary doctorate degree in Humane Letters given by the same University. This was given to recognize her development of Trinity College of Graduate Studies in California where she was president for twenty years. Eleanor believes that Sociology and Christianity should not be considered separate, but

instead combined to council those in need. She believes that “eating well, exercising and loving people” is the key to living a long life. Plus her faith in God is, in her words, “pretty steady.” Eleanor’s son lives in Switzerland with his wife. However, distance didn’t stop him from attending his Mother’s 100th birthday celebration. Eleanor was so happy to have so many people at her party and thanked each of them one at a time as she walked around the dining room. She came to Good Sam in August 2013 from Colorado Springs. Eleanor is delighted to be living in the Christian environment of Good Sam which is similar to that of Trinity College. She believes the staff are “very special people.” Eleanor is always available for a hug when your day might not be going well. Her smile can brighten your day. When told that she has had a wonderful life, she corrects the statement by saying, “I am having a wonderful life.”
Virginia Webb with his car. Her first recollection of Richard was that he was “tall and handsome.” After high school Virginia and Richard both attended Denver University. She graduated in 1936 with a degree in Speech and Dramatic Arts. She always wanted to be an actress and a singer when she was growing up. She sang at the Brown Palace in Denver on several occasions. Richard and Virginia courted for many years often taking walks in Elitch Gardens. He studied at several different universities including Purdue University. They married in 1941 over his Spring Break in Virginia’s parent’s house. They Virginia Webb have one son who lives in Estes Park.

Virginia worked with his electronics business through the years handling the financial responsibilities. They retired to Estes Park in 1985 and moved into a twinhome at Good Sam in 2005. After losing Richard in 2009 Virginia moved into the apartment building. Virginia became the first friend to many new residents over the years. She enjoys meeting new people and “showing them the ropes.” She loves to play Bingo and loves to win even more. On her 100th birthday over 80 friends and family members helped her celebrate her big day. Virginia offers these words of wisdom; “The secret to a happy marriage is to try to be agreeable,” and “the secret to a long life is to be happy.” “Love every day and record only the sunny hours and let all the rest disappear and you’ll have a good life.”

saying, “Go West Young Man, Go West.” Both education and employment opportunities led them to Trinidad, CO. Frances worked at the First National Bank while her husband taught at Trinidad State Junior College. They took a trip to Alaska in their travel trailer when their son was a boy. Her son caught the Alaskan fever and moved there as an adult. Though he now lives in Estes Park, his two daughters still live in Alaska. Both were able to attend their grandmother’s 105th birthday luncheon. After losing her husband in 2005 Frances moved to Good Sam so she could be closer to her son. She became active in daily life at the Village right away. She and a few other ladies started a crafting club. They made several projects for different holidays that are still being used. She was the “Queen of Bingo” for quite a few years. She had perfect attendance as well as winning the most games each year. A tradition started early on that if you won a certain amount at Bingo you would have to bring treats the following week. Frances would make homemade peanut brittle which all enjoyed. She was also one of the first Wii bowling participants. In 2012 Good Sam held their own Summer Olympic Games and Frances had the top score and won the gold medal. Frances believes that the key to living to be 105 is “taking care of yourself, eating right and living right.”
