There's lots of talk these days about flood mitigation, resiliency, floodplains and flood insurance. As we approach the two-year anniversary of the September 2013 flood, there are still major issues facing our community. Like most towns in the west, Estes Park was built along river corridors. Our downtown includes three rivers which all come together in the core downtown area: the Big Thompson, Fall River and Black Canyon Creek. Outside of downtown, many residential and accommodations properties are adjacent to rivers and streams, including Fish Creek. The riverside ambiance is a wonderful asset. However, as we saw in 2013, these rivers can also have devastating effects on people and property.

Since the flood we have learned that Estes Park is at greater risk of future flood events than we previously thought.

The 30 plus year-old FEMA flood studies for the Town significantly underestimate flood risk today. Many more homes and businesses than previously thought are at risk of property damage and economic loss from future flood events. Eventually FEMA will revise the regulatory floodplains to more accurately reflect flood risk. Unfortunately, without deliberate action in the form of mitigation, many homes and businesses adjacent to rivers and streams will be placed in regulatory floodplains.

Why is this important to understand?

Flood insurance rates, particularly for properties in floodplains, are increasing

dramatically because FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has become insolvent and Congress has required the NFIP to become actuarially sound. In some cases flood insurance premiums may rise in excess of $10,000 per year per property.

These increases could have a devastating effect on many of our small businesses located in river corridors and on our community as a whole, but there are actions the Town and property owners can take now to mitigate flood risk. Mitigating flood risk can reduce property damage and economic loss, reduce the number of properties placed in new regulatory floodplains, and can lead to less dramatic increases in flood insurance premiums.

The Town has a three-pronged approach to floodplain management consisting of (1) Regulation, (2) Response and Recovery, and (3) "Planning, Mitigation, and Resiliency”. Regulations establish minimum standards for work in regulatory floodplains to protect not just your property, but help to ensure the actions of your neighbors do not negatively impact your property. Flood Response and Recovery focuses on protecting property and lives during and immediately following a flood event.

“Floodplain Planning, Mitigation and Resiliency” involves developing and implementing plans and projects to reduce flood risk. The goal of these plans and projects is reducing damage from flooding, helping remove properties from the future regulatory floodplains, and reducing the costs of flood insurance.

As a community we need to act now to reduce flood risk.

The Town has already initiated a number of floodplain management projects including: developing and updating

Floodplain management is a complicated issue and one of the biggest facing the Estes Park community at this time. It's not a question of ‘if we will have another flood’, it is ‘when we have another flood, will we be ready?’ As a resident, you can take action to reduce flood risk by floodproofing your home or business, and participating in the Estes Valley Watershed Coalition, the downtown plan public process and public meetings regarding floodplain management. It is important to educate yourself on the issues and how they may affect your property, your business, your family and your community.

Watch for more information about floodplain management this fall and in 2016.

Hazardous Fuels Reduction Work Continues In Rocky Mountain National Park The reduction of hazardous fuels is a significant preventative management tool used in preparation for managing wildfire near structures and communities. As seen with the Fern Lake Fire, previous reduction of hazardous fuels aided firefighters in stopping the fire within the park when it made its more than 3 mile run on the morning of December 1, 2012. Ultimately, these projects are done to protect life and property and enhance the safety of firefighters and their ability to manage fire within the park.

Fire Management staff at Rocky Mountain National Park are nearing completion of the 150 acre Eagle Cliff fuels reduction project and will start work on four more fuels reduction projects later this year. The upcoming projects include 40 acres in the Sprague Lake area, 40 acres around Bear Lake and Glacier Gorge parking, 210 acres in

between Mills Creek and Glacier Creek, and up to 900 acres around the base of Deer Mountain.

Work will include removing dead trees, the lower limbs of remaining trees, ladder fuels, dead and down logs, and the removal of select trees adjacent to infrastructure. Resulting woody materials will be piled on site and burned in the following winters or may be used for firewood permits depending on location.

These projects are not designed as a stand-alone defense against wildfires, nor are they guaranteed to hold wildfire in the worst conditions. Please do your part and complete wildfire mitigation on your property. For more information on Firewise standards visit www.firewise.org.

For more information about Rocky Mountain National Park please call the park’s Information Office at (970) 5861206.

Man Sentenced To Two Years In Prison For Assault In RMNP On June 30, 2014, National Park Rangers, with assistance from an officer with the Estes Park Police Department, responded to an incident in the Upper Beaver Meadows area of Rocky Mountain National Park. A suspect, later identified as 36 year-old Adam Harvey from Bancroft, Nebraska, was located, arrested and charged with Assault, Resulting In Serious Bodily Injury. The victim was a 64 year-old man. His name and home town will not be released. The victim was alone, enjoying the night skies, when he was approached and brutally assaulted by Harvey.

Following an investigation by National

Park Rangers, the US Attorney's office prosecuted Adam Harvey, resulting in the recent sentencing of 26 months in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release. He is in custody, and was remanded at the hearing’s conclusion.

According to Chief Ranger Mark Magnuson, “While Rocky Mountain National Park, visited by over 3.4 million annually, is statistically a safe place for park visitors, serious crime does occur. When a crime like this happens, we work hard to ensure that the victim is afforded justice.

We are pleased that Mr. Harvey will be held accountable for the assault.”

Brian Herwig Announces Resignation Today, the Park Hospital District Board of Directors received the resignation of Brian Herwig, Chief Executive Officer of Estes Park Medical Center. He was appointed as CEO in September 2013.

During his tenure, Herwig emphasized quality patient care, customer and patient satisfaction, fiscal responsibility, and initiated and completed many short and long-term goals. He worked diligently alongside a community task force, employees, and other volunteers to help secure the passage of the vote for the Wellness Center. In addition he established a strategic plan for the medical center to become a Top 100 Critical Access Hospital. The Park Hospital District Board of Directors still holds that vision.

We thank Mr. Herwig for his work and dedication to exceptional patient care. .

The Park Hospital Board of Directors will work closely with the leadership staff

on an interim basis to ensure continuity of quality care to the community and direction to the medical staff. Diana Van Der Ploeg, President, Park Hospital District Board of Directors, will temporarily assume the CEO duties until such time as the Board can determine our future path with selecting an Interim CEO and developing the search process.

Moving forward, the Park Hospital Board of Directors remains committed to providing the Estes Park community with highquality care in a financially responsible manner. Efforts will begin to identify an Interim Chief Executive Officer for the Medical Center. “We are confident in our ability to identify a candidate who will provide the leadership, energy, enthusiasm and excitement necessary to lead Estes Park Medical Center into the future, while continuing to deliver excellent patient care,” said Diana Van Der Ploeg, President, Park Hospital District Board of Directors.

The Dedication Of Rocky Mountain National Park

The formation of Rocky Mountain National Park didn’t happen by chance. It became a reality because many people were working together to propose, promote, and persist in encouraging members of Congress to pass legislation to make it happen.

These special individuals were from many backgrounds and with various exceptional talents. When the day of the dedication came, it truly was something to celebrate.

This now famous photograph shows five of the many individuals who could celebrate that day for a job well done. So who were these people and what made them outstanding?

From the left to right, Enos Mills was a self-taught naturalist who came to Estes Park as a young man. He led interpretive hikes into what was to become Rock Mountain National Park. Mills was an early advocate for the establishment of the national park after a chance meeting with John Muir, a conservationist, from California. With tireless effort Enos traveled to Washington, DC to lobby for the necessary legislation. Even with the efforts of others, he has been called “The Father of the National Park” for his work to make his dream become a reality.

Standing next to Enos Mills is F.O. Stanley. Coming to Estes Park in1903, at the age of 53, Freelan Oscar Stanley was seeking the clean air and dry climate to cure tuberculosis. He and his twin brother, Francis Edger Stanley, were recognized as gifted entrepreneurs, carving concert quality violins at the age of 12. They later established the first company to commercially make violins. Together they developed the first practical dry photographic plate process that was later sold to Eastman Kodak making both brothers wealthy. Perhaps they are best known for their improvement of the steam engine and its use in a vehicle aptly named the Stanley Steamer. When F.O. came west for his health, he was determined to drive his Stanley Steamer to Estes Park from Lyons. Even though the road was only a wagon trail, he made the trip in record time. In 1909, he built a luxury hotel on a hill above Estes Park, providing for his guests electricity and running water.

As excitement mounted for the establishment of a national park, Stanley worked quietly behind the scenes, working with Enos Mills to promote the idea.

The next person to the right is Edward Taylor. Though he was born and raised in the Midwest, Edward Taylor came to Colorado as a young man. He started his career as a high school principal before attending law school. He practiced law for several years before being elected to the

Colorado senate. Taylor went on to be elected to the United States Congress and supporting legislation affecting Colorado agriculture. The bill to create Rocky Mountain National Park was shepherded through passage by Taylor until President Woodrow Wilson signed it on January 26, 1915.

Standing next to Edward Taylor is Mary Belle King Sherman, a well-educated woman from Chicago. In her affiliation with Federated Women’s Clubs, she promoted the establishment of children’s gardens at schools throughout the country.

She felt that children would be healthier with outdoor activity. Using her influence with the Federated Women’s Club, she worked for the idea of the creation of Rocky Mountain National Park.

She spoke to women’s clubs in Colorado and other states to cultivate support for the national park. Mary and her husband, John, a newspaper editor in Chicago, owned a summer home in the Estes Park area. At the dedication of the park, Mary and the Estes Park Women’s Club served light refreshments to those attending. During her service as the chairperson of the Conservation Committee, she supported the creation of six national parks and became known as the “National Park Lady.”

Governor George Carlson, a newly elected governor of Colorado, attended the dedication. He was noted for his sincere and unassuming way. His governing style brought a halt to lawlessness and the passage of a workers’ compensation law.

A key person in the establishment of Rocky Mountain National Park who is not shown in this photograph is James Grafton Rogers. A man of many talents, he was an attorney, educator, author, statesman, musician and composer. There were others who marched forth the idea of the creation of a national park. Rogers was, perhaps, one of the more realistic of those park advocates. Earlier he had founded the Colorado Mountain Club. It brought together others, who were anxious to see the area set-aside. Rogers was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed long treks in the wilderness and who climbed many of Colorado’s fourteeners. Using his skill as an attorney, he drafted bills that were sent to both houses of Congress.

Though there were many other individuals who were important to the establishment of Rocky Mountain National Park and we may never know all of them, these five talented people stand out as principles in the story of the creation of Rocky Mountain National Park.

Dukie-Lost And Found A Happy Reunion Last Thursday evening our Dachshund Dukie was lost at Lake Estes. We were frantic as it was just about to turn dark and all of us local residents know how dangerous it is for a small dog to be all alone, with the wildlife in the area. We searched the entire evening and all the next day but he was gone! We reported the incident to local law enforcement and the local pet shelters, even putting it out in social media in case anyone found him.

What makes this so much more heartbreaking is that we lost our other Dachshund to a bobcat just 18 months ago. We rescued Dukie from a high-kill shelter last October.

Needless to say, we were devastated.

Sadly, after two days with no word we lost hope and thought Dukie had moved

on to a better place.

Lo & behold we received a call on Saturday evening from the Estes Park Police Dept. letting us know that the Larimer County Sheriff officers had sited him near the power plant. We didn’t drive but we flew to the power plant and were miraculously reunited with our little guy.

Dukie had gone 48 hours without food, shelter or protection. Needless to say, he was hungry, very tired and extremely happy to see us.

We would like to extend a special thank you to the Estes Park Police Department for dispatching our report and especially to the Larimer County Sheriff Officers who found Dukie!

Our family is once again complete!!

epnews.com I betcha every one of us has at least one mystery key laying ignored in the corner of a desk drawer or buried in a whatchamacallit thingamajig doohickey basket on top of the dresser. That key has been there for years, we have absolutely no idea what it goes to—and—we don’t dare throw it away.

Sometimes I do know what the key is for. I have a plastic emergency key that went to a car that was totaled in 2013, a house key to a home I don’t live in anymore, and another key that opens a recycling dumpster at the site of a former employer. These keys are no longer of any use to me but I simply cannot get rid of them.

In addition, I have an aluminum key on a keychain with a tiny Tupperware bowl perfect for a pika taking tufts of tundra to a potluck picnic. I’ve had this key for as long as I can remember and I have no clue what it opens, but I keep it because of the miniature container—complete with lid!—on the keychain. (It will hold about seven aspirin. I’ve never seen another one since I got this as a promotional gift maybe 40 years ago.)

Every so often I’ll be rifling through a bin, toolbox or glove compartment and I’ll find a key. (By the way, I actually do keep a pair of gloves in my glove compartment. Well, mittens anyway. They are hand-knit mittens my sister bought during the year she lived in Russia. They’ve kept my hands from turning numb-cold many a morning when I’ve had to scrape my car windows after an unexpected— and always too soon—first-of-the-seasonfrost.) Usually when I uncover a random key, it looks vaguely familiar but the fog doesn’t lift to reveal the unidentified lock so I toss the key back into the bin, box or compartment, to be rediscovered again next time. I know that if I threw it away I’d remember what it went to the moment I watched the garbage truck pull away from my curb, chewing up my garbage and crunching on that key.

Not everyone has as much trouble letting go as I do. (This is a statement not just about old house keys but about life. I admit it. If I can’t dispense of the key to

my banana-seat bike lock, how can I expect to let go of the college beau who once had the key to my heart? This is a problem and I’m working on it.) While it might be convenient to just throw useless keys in the trash—if you have the wherewithal, the fact is that some 400 million keys are thrown away each year. Cowabunga!

Fortunately, keys can be recycled. Toss them into the scrap metal bin and they’ll get melted down. Or get crafty and make them into wind chimes or jewelry (except earrings, unless you want to have earlobes like those people you used to see in National Geographic magazines while you were looking for naked body pictures when you were a kid). You could glue them on a picture frame as adornments, make them into Christmas tree ornaments, use them as zipper pulls (on your backpack, silly, not on your jeans, unless you are particularly fond of that oversized-zipper-pull-hanging-from-your-fly look). Some people sew keys into the hem of curtains or outdoor tablecloths to weigh them down. (Any person who successfully attempts to keep an outdoor tablecloth from flapping in the wind in Estes Park deserves to be awarded the key to the town). Better yet, you could bend them and attach them to a board on which to hang—keys! Or you can always try selling them on eBay. One man’s trash…

I want to take a moment to imagine the mountain we could build if we gathered together all of the loose, useless keys that surface in our homes periodically, but I’ve become a bit preoccupied trying to find my keys. The real ones I use every day.

They’ve disappeared—again.

(One last thing to set the record straight: I may have trouble letting go of some significant people and events in my life but I am so over my college beau. I let him go waaaaaay last week.)

Did you know that malnutrition is the 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 seven inches around. A severely malnourished child’s arm would be less than 3 inches around.

Factors contributing to this malnutrition are many: drought 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 brothers’ keeper.”

Eighty-five per cent 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. Twenty-five per cent of all Estes Park CROP Walk receipts will to go to Crossroads, our local food pantry and relief resource.

Won’t you be a walker or sponsor a walker in the Estes Park Walk for the Hungry?

Rocky Mountain Conservancy Announces $3.6 Million Land Protection Campaign For RMNP Effort will permanently protect 40 acres on east side of park The Rocky Mountain Conservancy (Rocky Mountain National Park’s nonprofit partner) announced today that it is spearheading a fundraising effort to acquire the largest remaining privately-held property within Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP). The organization will raise $3.6 million to fund the purchase of this commercially-zoned parcel known as Cascade Cottages. The Trust for Public Land is also a partner in this effort to acquire the property for the park.

The current owners, honoring the wishes of their grandfather, offered to sell the property to Rocky Mountain National Park before placing it on the open market. The National Park Service has identified this acquisition as the park’s highest priority and the signature project of Rocky Mountain National Park’s centennial in 2015.

“Opportunities to make a significant difference to a park that’s been around a long time don’t come along every day. On the occasion of the park’s 100th anniversary we have a wonderful opportunity to acquire the largest remaining privately-held commercial

property within the park boundary,” said Vaughn Baker, Park Superintendent.

“We can think of no greater, or more meaningful, gift the Conservancy and its supporters could give to the park on its 100th birthday. We are forever

grateful for the generous support of our partners, members, and donors in this ambitious undertaking. Together, we will make the park 40 acres larger, and create a legacy for the park’s next 100 years,” said Charles Money, Executive Director

for the Rocky Mountain Conservancy.

The Rocky Mountain Conservancy is undertaking the acquisition of Cascade Cottages in partnership with the Trust for Public Land (TPL). TPL has a long, successful history of placing lands of high ecological or historic value into the public domain. TPL has negotiated a fair market price for the property with the landowners and has secured the purchase through an Option Agreement. TPL is prepared to buy and hold the property until the fundraising campaign is complete and the property can be conveyed to the National Park Service.

"With the Cascade Cottages acquisition, we have a rare opportunity to protect a special place for wildlife and people. Together, we will ensure that the millions of people that visit Rocky Mountain National Park each year will have the opportunity to experience the park’s natural splendor without the threat of new private development within its boundaries," said Jim Petterson, Colorado State Director, of The Trust for Public Land.

The purchase and acquisition cost is $3.6 million. Of this, the Conservancy has identified over $500,000 from within its own resources to launch the campaign and leverage initial gifts. As of today, the organization has raised almost

$1.5 million.

It is expected that the campaign will have a two- to threeyear horizon with the transfer to the park taking place in 2017.

Also assisting with this effort, the Larimer County Open Lands Program offered a challenge grant of $50,000 to the Estes Valley Land Trust (EVLT) and the Town of Estes Park to provide a collective donation of $100,000 to Rocky Mountain Conservancy for the purchase of the property. EVLT and Estes Park both have readily agreed to match this amount.

About the Cascade Cottages Property Cascade Cottages is the last, significant, privately-held commercial operation within Rocky Mountain National Park.

Situated within one mile of the Fall River entrance to the park, the property’s 40 acres is divided by Fall River Road, with roughly half the land on the north side of the road and half on the south. The north side is undeveloped and provides valuable habitat to a variety of wildlife, including the iconic bighorn sheep. The south side is developed with more than a dozen rustic cabins and multiple gravel lanes spread along a series of cascades in the Fall River. The cabins are currently rented during the summer, catering primarily to short-term vacationers.

The entire Cascade Cottages parcel is surrounded by land that is currently under the protection of RMNP and in a highly visible and well-traveled part of the park. Each year, the hundreds of thousands of visitors that enter or leave the park by way of the Fall River Entrance pass through the property. This stretch of Highway 34 is part of a designated All American Road (there are only two such roads in Colorado and only 20 All American Roads in the U.S.). Additionally, the popular Aspenglen Campground is nearby, just to the east of the parcel. Horseshoe Park, a favorite elk and bighorn sheep viewing area, is immediately around the next bend to the west. Fall River, which marks the property’s southernmost border after meandering its way through Horseshoe Park, offers trout fishing opportunities for anglers.

The Conservancy, with the support of its project partners, the community, and its donors and members, is working hard to raise the $3.6 million needed to place this unique parcel within the public domain.

There have been a few reports of bears getting into homes and vehicles in the Estes Valley in the last several weeks. This time of year, bears are busy trying to fatten up for their winter hibernation and they need to consume 20,000 calories a day! Human-bear conflicts are a fact of life in Colorado, but with some simple actions, residents of bear country can help to significantly reduce those conflicts.

The biggest issue in conflict situations is the availability of human sources of food -garbage, pet food, livestock food, compost piles, bird feeders, chicken pens, etc. Bears have a phenomenal sense of smell and can pick up odors of food sources from miles away.

Bears receive a big calorie reward if they get into something like pet food, or bird seed or leftover pizza, and once they get a taste they quickly become habituated to human food and conflicts start. When that happens, things usually don't go well for the bear.

Once black bears have discovered a

food source they may defend it and can become dangerous. Those types of situations can be dangerous and it is undesirable to have wild, unpredictable animals in close proximity to people.

Bears will go to the areas with the best food availability, and it's best that they find their food in the wild. If food sources in town are limited, bears will likely spend more time in wild lands in their quest to fatten up.

Estes Valley residents play a major role in keeping bears wild, we can help by being conscientious and not leaving any types of food available to bears. Without the public's diligence in reducing human sources of food, we have limited success in avoiding and reducing conflicts.

Please, follow these tips to keep bears out of trouble and to reduce conflicts: • Obtain a bear-resistant trash can or dumpster. Check with local authorities or your trash service to determine what types can be used where you live. Keep garbage in a well-secured location; and only put out garbage on the morning of pickup.

• Clean garbage cans regularly to elimi-

Then put them in the trash on pick-up

day.

• Don't leave pet food or feeding bowls outside.

• After you barbecue, make sure to clean your grill, each and every time.

• Attract birds naturally to your yard or garden with flowers and water features.

For those who use bird feeders, suspend them high above the ground so that they're inaccessible to bears; clean up beneath them every day and bring them in at night, • Tightly secure any compost piles.

Bears are attracted to the scent of rotting food.

• Clean-up thoroughly after picnics in

Page 13

the yard or on the deck. Don't allow food odors to linger.

• If you have fruit trees, pick fruit before it gets too ripe.

Don't allow fruit to fall and rot on the ground.

• If you keep chickens or other small livestock, build a secure enclosure and bring the animals inside at night.

Clean up pens regularly to reduce odors.

• Keep the bottom floor windows of your house, front and back doors and garage doors closed and locked when you're not at home. Lock car doors.

• Never intentionally feed bears or other wildlife. It's illegal and dangerous.

• When backcountry camping, use bear containers at campgrounds and when possible, lock food and trash in vehicles.

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 acquired new computers and new software to improve our automation 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 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.

On Wednesday, September 2 the Town of Estes Park and the Shuttle Committee will host a Rider Appreciation Day to Celebrate 10 years of free shuttle service, offering visitors and residents convenient, environmentally responsible transportation. Refreshments will be served at the Visitor Center, 500 Big Thompson Avenue, from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Shuttles transport riders to 63 stops throughout Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. Operating daily from June 27 through September 13, shuttles make it convenient for residents and guests to leave their vehicles at a lodging facility, Park-n-Ride lot, or at home, and travel around town during the busy summer season.

The Estes Park Free Shuttles started in 2006, in conjunction with Rocky Mountain National Park on a three year trial basis. That year there were two Town shuttles running along Elkhorn Avenue west of the Visitor Center and Big Thompson Avenue going east. The Brown Route, serving campgrounds and the YMCA, was added in 2007. The Silver Route began with the completion of the Park-n-Ride facility at the Fairgrounds in 2011. In 2013, the Town added the Elkhorn Express trolley and the Gold Route (downtown only). 2015 represents the tenth year of service and the total number of passengers served is

expect to eclipse 500,000.

The Shuttle Committee was formed to help develop the free shuttle services for the initial trial period. They spent time researching other shuttle services and communities to build this system. The

Shuttle Committee continues to work with Town staff to obtain feedback and brainstorm for new ideas with members representing local businesses and residents.

Also in 2015, the Rocky Mountain National Park Hiker Shuttle will depart from the Estes Park Visitor Center traveling to the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center and into the National Park stopping at the Bear Lake Park-n-Ride. For operating days and times for the RMNP Hiker Shuttle, please contact 970-5861206 or visit www.nps.gov/romo The 2015 full service season ends on Sunday, September 13.

Do We Not Bleed?

We'll find a new way of living We'll find a way of forgiving Somewhere . . .

(Steven Sondheim, 1957) A national question reeking of aberrant disproportion has long festered in America: why is the death rate from police encounters two times higher for unarmed African-Americans than for unarmed white Americans? Too many names haunt our consciousness, including (in the past year) Walter Scott, Eric Harris, Freddie Gray, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice and Sandra Bland. How many more must we mourn?

I am inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to people working in dangerous professions, because milliseconds matter when lives are at stake in stressful situations. But as John Adams said when defending British soldiers in 1770: “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” Here are sobering global facts: Four fatal police shootings occurred in England 2010-2014; in the same period Albuquerque (1/100th the size of England) had 26 fatal police shootings.

China, four times larger than the USA, recorded twelve killings by law enforcement officers in 2014. From 2013-2014 German police killed no-one.

Why can’t Americans behave more civilly?

Tom Stoppard’s play ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD opens with ninety-two consecutive coin tosses that come up heads. The protagonists (R&G) marinate in passive acceptance of this improbable pattern, not questioning its validity or implications. They are apparently unaware or unable to raise questions that might elevate them from hapless pawns to conscious actors. The coin tosses of our lives rarely follow such a skewed pattern, but when they do sensors should be on full alert.

Was it coincidence that eight AfricanAmerican churches burned in ten days following the Charleston murders two months ago? Few of those

events were random vicissitudes—most were conscious acts of terror by presumed sane Americans to whom Black lives do not matter.

Six weeks after that unfathomable slaughter at Mother Emanuel A.M.E. Church, a community theater near Charleston produced WEST SIDE STORY and reenacted on stage the senseless violence we humans are capable of inflicting on one another. Audiences stood to cheer the young interracial cast through eyes moist with cathartic release (full disclosure: my daughter Eileen was a Jet-ette in the show). It is intensely sobering to stand in

front of Mother Emanuel, where flowers, messages, signs, displays and aching faces of passersby near the wrought metal fence eerily recall Saint Paul’s Chapel (adjacent to the World Trade Center) after 9/11.

Most of us can bear others’ misfortune with equanimity. When Moslem Uighurs suffer under Han Chinese in Tajikstan, few American notice. How many remember or care about the Rwandan genocide, when almost one million Tutsis were killed by the Hutu majority twenty-one years ago? We are not alone in our ethical malingering; it depends on whose ox is gored.

During the first five years of my life the Nazi holocaust mass-murdered six million Jews. The number almost overwhelms the mind as incomprehensible.

Today, decades after the end of World War II, the world Jewish population is approaching what it was on September 1, 1939. Think for a moment about our inhumanity as a species, and the lives, loves, talents, aspirations and potential lost forever in those six million precious lives. It has taken seventy-five years for Jews simply to regain 1939 numbers.

United States Public school enrollment reached a milestone in September 2014, when students of color outnumbered white classmates. Our country’s population will tip irrevocably by 2042, when white Americans will be permanently in

the minority. What are we to expect after hundreds of years of slavery and institutionalized discrimination against people of color by a power structure not designed for their benefit?

Estes Park Chief of Police Wes Kufeld: “There is a deep-rooted anger that arises from not being treated equally. Unfortunately it had to come to this and it’s going to take a long time for the country to repair the harm. I don’t want Estes Park on the map as a negative place for visitors, and I am incredibly picky at who gets to police in this town. We want communityoriented people. We don’t want people with baggage. What I try to do is get well-rounded people of high character who are family-oriented, problem solvers, wise speakers and good on their feet. It’s a lot easier in a small community because we have the relationships and we get more involved in our neighborhoods to advance quality of life issues. That builds trust over time.”

Just a few years ago curses were uttered, heads turned and frustration was palpable in movies and at public events when a cell phone rang. Today those noises are essentially a thing of the past, as the social contract now assumes putting phones on mute. There is a simple lesson here as there was with seat belts and tobacco: large groups of people can adopt behaviors that make us safer and more respectful of others. We can be taught to do the right thing. I live in hope that a time will come when communities and the police who serve them work together so that no American mistrusts police, and no policeman abuses an American.

Can we find a new way of living? Can we reduce the needless killing? It begins by finding a way of forgiving.

Learn from the families and friends of the Charleston victims. Their compassion challenges Americans to foster humility and embrace inclusion. Scott Peck once defined evil as “lazy, habitual ignorance.” Instead of succumbing to that darkness, we can embody America’s promise by cultivating our capacity for moral imagination and celebrating life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in a country where all are treated equally.

NOT WITH MY LIFE I WON’T Last year many of us were touched by the story of Brittany Maynard, a 29-year-old terminal brain cancer victim who moved to a different state so that she could legally end her life… could ‘die with dignity’. Her life ended on November 1, 2014, just as she planned and orchestrated.

Her struggle and death fanned the flames of the debate about the rightness and wrongness of suicide where such medical conditions exist.

The extenuating circumstances of Brittany Maynard’s illness and choice, should not be used to try to justify the taking of one’s own life for the other reasons that people give. I’ve often heard the question asked, “What happens to a person after they take their own life? Can they hope to go to heaven? They’ve committed the sin of murder (self-murder) and cannot repent of it.” No one is in a position to determine the eternal outcome of anyone’s demise…by suicide or by natural causes of some kind…except God Himself. So none of us should presume to do so. However, the possibility that such a person may not find the peace he was looking for, must certainly be considered. How much better to let our life run its full course and make the very most of every day!

Nevertheless, suicide is a very common thing in our society. In visiting recently with a funeral director in a nearby community, he confided that, despite the fact that the month was less than half over, he had already had to deal with seven suicides. How sad…for him, for the persons whose lives were ended, and for the many extended family members and friends. The question wrestled with by most involved is, “What could I have done to have helped avoid this? Why didn’t I sense the problem(s)?”

This question faced a correctional institution in our state recently, criticized for the number of suicides that had occurred in their facility. “Why hadn’t they sensed that these people were suicidal and done something to prevent it?” As I read the criticisms leveled against the facility, I wondered how the number of suicides in that facility would compare with those confirmed suicides among people in normal society. The statistics were clear. Our ‘normal society’ suicides are rapidly closing in on those among that jail population…and this was just ‘confirmed suicides’, not even considering the many ‘suspected’, including ‘suicide by Cop’, deaths. So the question for all of us is why is it so difficult to see when something like this is going to happen so we can try to prevent it?

A poem written over 100 years ago perhaps can help. Edwin Robinson wrote: “Whenever Richard Cory went down town, we people on the pavement looked at him: He was a gentleman from sole to crown, clean favored, and imperially slim.

And he was always quietly arrayed, and he was always human when he talked; But he fluttered pulses when he said, ‘Good morning,’ and glittered when he walked.

And he was rich – yes, richer than a king – and admirably schooled in every grace; In fine, we thought that he was everything to make us wish that we were in his place.

So on we worked, waiting for the night, we went without meat, and cursed the bread.

And Richard Cory, one calm summer night, went home and put a bullet in his head.”

This poem gives us insight into the difficulty of dealing with this problem, whether in a jail cell or in the normal population. How often people who seem to ‘have it all together’ will show that such was not the case, but no one knows it until it is too late.

The best thing that each of us can do is to realize just how important we are to others and to God, and use everything we can to help others feel that way too. (Bob)

Elks Foundation Helps The DeCapio Family

By: Kris Hazelton

Last week, Rich Stolte 1st VP with the Colorado Elks Foundation, along with Joyce Bonanno and Larry King from the Fort Collins Elks Lodge 804 presented a check in the amount of $2,000 to Leah, Scott and Enzo (Lorenz) DeCapio to further help the family with recovery from the 2013 flood.

The Elks Foundation had previously given Leah and Scott another check in April 2015 from the Meister Foundation from Fort Collins Elks Lodge 804 for $10,000 which the couple used to help pay family medical expenses.

After the flood, Glen Haven resident Rich Stolte helped locate the DeCapio family who lost their home, art studio, car and gallery in Glen Haven. Leah who was home during the flood had to be rescued via a tyrolean traverse (zip line) over the water, even carrying her dogs and chickens to safety on the zip line.

Because Leah and Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home was not in a designated â&#x20AC;&#x153;flood plainâ&#x20AC;? they did not have any insurance to help them rebuild and the family had to relocate their home and business to Nederland, CO. The mission of the Elks Foundation is to help build stronger communities.

They fulfill this pledge by investing in communities where Elks live and work.

They provide tomorrow's leaders with lifelong skills; honor the Elks' pledge to never forget our veterans; help the state Elks associations accomplish their charitable objectives; and fund projects that improve the quality of life in local Elks communities.

The Elks Lodge was proud to have the opportunity to help the DeCapio family in their time of need. In times of crisis, it has long been a pattern for the Order of Elks to ease the pain of others by providing the necessary relief.

80 Years Loved!

Happy Birthday Mary!

(Mom, Grandma and Great Grandma)!

With love from, Renz, Robyn, Jeff, David, Becky, Micah, Josiah, Zachary, Daniel, Joshua, Stephen, Melody, Jack, Shane, Austin, Faith, Shauna, Craig, Taylor, and Jordan!

Rock Cut Brewing Co. Tapped To Open Labor Day Weekend By: Kris Hazelton

Tracy Goodemote and Matt Heiser are excited that their new craft brewery, Rock Cut Brewing, Co., is nearly set to open.

Tracy and Matt are long time friends who met in college in St. Louis many years ago. They both settled in Estes Park with their families and the two got together and enjoyed homebrewing beers in their spare time. Matt and Tracy have been homebrewing for about six years, always dreaming of the day they could open their own neighborhood brewery.

Craft brewing has become a big thing in Estes Park. At Rock Cut Brewing, Co., Tracy and Matt are passionate about their beer and they’re excited to offer well-crafted brews. At their new brewery, they won’t offer food, other than bar snacks at this time, but they feel that lets them focus on what's important - beer! Patrons are welcome to bring food into Rock Cut and enjoy one of their craft beers while you eat, socialize or play a game. There will always be at least one brewer on hand at all times, to talk about the beer-making process or answer any questions their guests may have.

This summer, Matt and Tracy got all of their equipment in place and worked hard getting everything setup

Matt displays some of the hops used in the beer making process.

and hooked up.

The beer making process is quite fascinating and Tracy and Matt have this down to a science. The beer starts out in the mash for an about hour at 145-155 degrees and the temperature used makes a big difference in the sweetness and alcohol content of the beer.

The beer then moves to the kettle to boil, most brews boil for ninety minutes to enhance flavors and this is where the hops are added and the caramelizing of the sugars take place. Once the boil is over, the hops settle in the kettle and this is the first stage of clarifying the beer.

Next comes the cooling of the beer when cold, pure, Estes Park water takes the beer from boiling to mid 60 degrees in just 45 minutes.

The beer then goes into the 230 gallon capacity fermenter for anywhere from five days to two weeks to ferment. This is where the yeast is added. The fermenters are double walled, chilled vessels which maintain constant temperatures as the beer ferments.

Once fermentation is complete, the beer then goes to the bright tank to clarify and receive carbonation. After that, a new beer is “born!”

Tracy and Matt taste the beers as they go along through the process. According to Tracy, “We are out to make a tasty beer. We focus on quality, that is what will set us apart from the others. Consumers are becoming more educated, and are tired of drinking standard American lagers from big companies, they’re looking for more taste and quality which is good for the industry, good for craft brewers and good for the consumer.”

One of the first beers Tracy and Matt decided to brew was an altbier. Matt said, “Perhaps our favorite

The tasting room features a beautiful, handmade wooden bar.

recipe has been an altbier style that we've brewed many times.

This is the first beer we’ve brewed at Rock Cut Brewing Company. Altbier is a German style brown ale, the alt literally translates to "old" in German, and traditionally altbiers are conditioned for a longer than normal period of time with a great balance between malt and hops.

They also now have a porter and a hoppy IPA brewed and ready for beer lovers with plans on brewing many more styles.

Next up in the brew room, they are working on an American wheat and an ESB, an English style pale ale that will be ready for the Scottish/Irish Highland Festival Sept. 11-13. ESB stands for “extra special bitter” known for its medium to high hop bitterness, flavor and aroma.

Matt says opening their own brewery has long been a dream of theirs and Tracy said, “We’ve always said, someday, we’ll do this and now, here we are! About eighteen months ago, the Town changed regulations to allow a brewery to exist without offering food and that opened the door for us and we couldn’t be happier!”

A special Grand Opening will be held at Rock Cut Brewing Co. on Labor Day weekend so watch for details on day/time for you to come down for a unique beer experience.

Matt Heiser

State of the art brewing equipment.

Rock Cut Brewing Co. is a beautifully decorated space with a bar made out of gorgeous handmade wood and there’s a large window to view their brew room.

Matt and Tracy invite individuals as well as groups to meet at their brewery, Matt said, “We want it to be a place where locals can come in and be a part of the community, a local gathering spot.”

The Estes Valley Library’s “Our Wonderful World” will be travelling across the globe for an African adventure on Monday night, August 31st at 7:00 p.m. at the Park Village Playhouse. Please join long-time resident Bob Brunson for the captivating photo journey “Africa in Wildlife – Long Necks and Zebra Stripes.”

Bob Brunson grew up on a farm, west of Leavenworth, Kansas loving the Boy Scouts and all wildlife. This was where his desire to explore began. Eighty-two years ago, in 1933, Bob and another Boy Scout, Bill Clark attended the movie, Simba, by Osa and Martin Johnson of Chanute, Kansas. The move inspired Bill and Bob to declare then and there that they would go to Africa someday. The next year, Bill moved to California and likely never fulfilled that declaration.

Bob however, never lost his will to experience Africa.

Almost fifty years later, in 1982, while working in the deserts of Algeria, Bob had has chance to journey south to Kenya. One year later, he returned to Kenya to explore again, this time with his camera in tow. The book, Golden Shadows, Flying Hooves, by George Scahller, inspired Bob to tell a story of the animals of Kenya through photographs.

With the help of his son, David along with Mark Riffle from the Estes Valley Library, Bob’s story came to life. “Africa in Wildlife – Long Necks and Zebra Stripes” is the photo journal of this adventure.

“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 970-5868116.

Patrick “Screwball” Francke who now lives in Estes Park wrote an autobiography of his life. In his 20s, Francke, whose youthful antics had already by then gotten him christened with the nickname "Screwball," became a driver for his uncle Benjamin "Benny the Hat" Sparano.

Francke got mixed up in bookmaking, loan-sharking and collecting for his uncle.

From Patrick, “My autobiography is about my life involved with gambling, sex, alcohol, drugs, prison, loansharking & court trials. My father was a cop, my mother a housewife. I am the middle of three sons. My uncle is Benny (The Hat) Sparano, the man who sued the HBO Sopranos show. In this book, I talk about my 15 years as a fugitive, surrendering in 2009. My life now includes writing this book to defer other want-to-be wiseguys from this lifestyle. I began a Remembrance charity softball game to honor all

the guys who died from my hometown area due to drugs, suicides, cancer, murders and accidents. Wasted talent is the epitome of a lifetime spent watching over my shoulder.”

Patrick will be doing a book signing on Wednesday, September 16 from 5-6 p.m. at Cable’s Restaurant. Come down and meet Patrick and get your copy of The True Sparano’s Story. Paperback versions are $30 each, hardcover are $40 each.

Fifty percent of the proceeds will be donated by Patrick to a local children’s charity.

Patrick would like to thank the Estes Valley Recreation and Park District for giving him a job umpiring softball games this season. He had a wonderful time umping and says he fell in love with Estes Park and the people who live here.

Patrick will be returning to the east coast for the winter months but hopes to be back in Estes once again in the future.

Poison Hemlock is highly toxic to humans and livestock when consumed.

The weed is non-native. The scientific name for Poison Hemlock is Conium maculatum. Poison Hemlock has been on the east side of Pole Hill along Highway 36, and south of The Other Side; the plants are fruiting now.

PREVENTION Pull and bag flowering Poison Hemlock; wearing gloves and careful handling is recommended. Mow to a short stature to decrease chance of poisoning. Put flowering and fruiting weeds in paper lawn bags. Drop off weedfilled 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 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.

Bottle Caps, Foil, and Cartons Submitted by: Jana Larsen, League of Women Voters of Estes Park & Community Recycling Committee What does one do with bottle caps? They’re plastic - can they Bodee be recycled? The answer is ‘NO’ - referring to the Plastic Rule: if it is in the shape of a bottle, tube, or tub, it can be recycled. Otherwise, throw it out.

What about foil? The answer is ‘YES’ - flatten it out and wipe off any food residue. What about milk and juice cartons? The answer is “YES’ - throw out the lid; rinse out the carton but DO NOT flatten it. These are all simple actions that YOU can take toward reducing municipal solid waste in Larimer County.

Remember the 3 R’s: REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE! For more information on recycling, please visit our website at www.recycleestes.org.; join our Facebook group Recycle! and like and share our Facebook page. As Ambassador Bodee reminds: ONLY YOU CAN RECYCLE!

Uncertainty, Vulnerability And Change In The Rocky Mountains Have you ever wondered how various birds, plants, and mammals have and will be affected by the changing climate of the Rocky Mountains? Join the Rocky Mountain Conservancy for a day-long educational adventure about how this change in the climate has affected Rocky Mountain National Park, and the ecosystems that it is composed of. On September 5 from 8:30 – 4:30, instructor Dr. Timothy Kittel will delve into ecosystems from the montane all the way up to the alpine tundra where he will discuss the vulnerabilities, ecology, and inhabitants of these various landscapes.

Dr. Timothy Kittel received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Davis in Ecology and has over 30 years of experience working in global change science.

Currently working at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research out of University of Colorado Boulder, Dr. Kittel is primarily focusing on the effects of climate change in Rocky Mountain biodiversity, and the uncertainties that it brings.

Climate Change in the Rockies will begin at the Rocky Mountain Conservancy Field Institute Building – located at 1895 Fall River Road – with a brief safety overview and introduction by Dr. Kittel. A majority of the course will be spent in the field, discovering and discussing the changes and uncertainties that are evident among the life zones. With these experiential learning opportunities, participants will be immersed in the content of this course while obtaining vast amounts of knowledge from an experienced instructor. This exploration will include few short distance walks in order to reach the destinations that reflect the content of the course, and provide unforgettable experiences with incredible views.

If you are interested in learning about the uncertainty, vulnerability, and change we see or may see for the Rocky Mountains, or wish to find out more about other classes that are offered, please contact the Rocky Mountain Conservancy Field Institute at 970-586-3262 or visit rmconservancy.org.

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, 5:30-7:30 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.

Student Sends Teacher A Very Special “ank You” Kevin Perz was a student in Marilyn Mecham’s food class at Parkway Central High School in Chesterfield, a St. Louis suburb, in 1976. Almost forty years later, the former Missouri teacher received a phone call from Kevin. He was calling to say “thanks” for everything she did for her students and to let her know he was going to send her something.

Two days later a note arrived in the mail with this message: “I enjoyed your class so much. You gave your students latitude and respect. In turn, you were showered with respect and appreciation. You were the B-E-S-T teacher EVER!!”

Along with the message was a check for $10,000!

It turns out that Kevin had been trying to contact Marilyn for several years and finally reached out to his high school’s alumni association for some assistance.

“I was so appreciative to have somebody spend all that time looking for me to tell that I meant so much in his life,” she told ABC. I'm wondering, if you were to reach back into your past and recall an important person who made a big impact in your life, who would it be? For just a moment imagine you are able to speak with them, what would you say?

If you want join in the flocking fun, yet protect your home, it is $35.00 to flock a friend or business and purchase an insurance yard sign to prevent your home from being flocked.

The birds are headed to Estes Park the first week in September and need some places to land when they arrive and will be staying the entire month!

World Traveling Comic Comes To Allenspark For Rocky Mountain High-Larity

It’s not every day that Allenspark area residents can catch a show by a worldtouring comedian. Spanky, The Laff Guru is performing a benefit at The Old Gallery in Allenspark on Saturday, August 29 at 8 p.m., with proceeds benefitting this center for community and the arts.

Spanky is an award-winning performer and author, twice voted the “Comic of the Year” and once the “Campus Performer of the Year.” He has taken his unique style of humor to more than 1,000 colleges and comedy clubs; performing in all 50 states and; 32 countries, as well as more than 50 TV shows, including Showtime, Good Morning America, and The Late Show.

Spanky has been vacationing in Allenspark for several years, visiting friends that knew him before he began his career as a comic. Allenspark weekend residents Holly Bea-Weaver and Steve Weaver worked with Spanky, a.k.a.

Steve McFarland, when he was a graphic designer at the Dallas Times Herald.

“Spanky practiced a comedy routine in his garage for two years, before ever performing it for anyone,” Bea-Weaver said.

“He debuted his routine at the “Funniest Man in Dallas” competition, and ended up winning, and then went on to win “Funniest Man in Texas.” He left graphic art behind and has been a touring comic ever since.” Steve Weaver added, “No matter how many times we’ve seen him over the years, his routine is hysterically entertaining, and constantly changing.

No one will leave his show disappointed.”

“Spanky was also nice enough to recruit a Denver area comic to join him at Rocky Mountain High-Larity at The Old Gallery,” Bea-Weaver added. Hypnotic Comic “Rusty Z” will open the show. He is one of the few hypnotist/comedians in the country and has been featured on A&E and Comedy Central.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for those 15-18 years of age. No children under 15 can attend. Tickets are available at The Old Gallery and Distant Harbors in Allenspark, Macdonald’s Bookshop in Estes Park and through brownpapertickets.com The Old Gallery is located at 14863 Colorado Highway 7, next to the Allenspark Fire 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.

Inaugural Open Mic Scheduled For Renovated Old Gallery Open Mic fans have a beautiful newly renovated venue for a stage, thanks to a $1.3 million Capital Campaign at The Old gallery in Allenspark.” We’re excited to host the first Open Mic in this newly renovated space this Friday from 7-9 p.m.,” said organizer Skip Shook. “We ask attendees to bring a snack to share, but no alcohol. There will also be pizza for sale by the slice.”

Those who have already signed up to perform include local favorite Bob Smallwood, Allenspark folk/blues artist Brad Bishop and Allenspark blues harmonica artist Marc Kreiwaldt. Mark

Lorenz will also provide stand up comedy. “We invite other acoustic artists to perform, and hope community members will join us for a wonderful opening night in The Old Gallery, Shook concluded.

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.

Community Bible Study Begins September 14 & 15

Fund-Raising Events Sponsored By Presbyterian Community Church Of The Rockies (PCCR) The Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies’ (PCCR) World Mission Golf Outings are being held soon, and entries are being taken now for these two events. Although the outings are sponsored by PCCR, players who are not members of the church are most welcome.

The traditional golf outing, coordi-

in México and Guatemala. Her husband, Omar Chan, serves as facilitator for Presbyterian Border Region Outreach.

Omar is a co-worker with the six border ministry sites that previously comprised Presbyterian Border Ministry, as they refocus their mission and ministries.

Amanda and Omar have two sons: Ethan Alejandro and Kenneth Matteo.

• Luta and Rev. Jeremy Garbat-Welch.

nated for over 10 years by Dr. Tom and Barby Nichol and other church members, is scheduled for the 9-hole Lake Estes Golf Course on the morning of Saturday, September 5, starting at 9:00 a.m.

This year, there’s also a new event: a mini-golf outing to be held on Monday evening, August 31, at the 18-hole miniature golf course located at Estes Park Center/YMCA of the Rockies, starting at 7:00 p.m.

Both outings are being organized and coordinated by Dave and Sue Thomas, former Presbyterian Church (USA) mission co-workers, who have returned to their Estes Park home after serving with PC (USA) in Mexico for eleven years.

Proceeds from both outings will support two couples who are among PC (USA)’s 160 denominational mission co-workers around the world: • Amanda Craft and Omar Chan. As Regional Liaison for México and Guatemala, Amanda Craft facilitates PC USA) support for partner programs, relationships and activities, and implements Presbyterian World Mission’s strategy. She supports PC (USA) mission personnel in both countries by sharing information, mentoring/guiding, and encouraging missiological reflection.

Amanda also facilitates and seeks to strengthen healthy and effective relationships between PC(USA) congregations and presbyteries and their partners

ment of Community Health Evangelism, uniting people for evangelism, community health and discipleship. From their home base in Malawi, Luta makes periodic visits to the other four countries to help partners learn from one another. Jeremy is a trained chaplain and is exploring opportunities to become a co-worker with the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian, which has expressed interest in chaplaincy training. Luta and Jeremy have one son: Jathniel.

Both outings are for golfers of all ability levels, so practicing for hours on the putting green or driving range is not necessary! The primary goal of both outings is to have some fun while helping to support PC(USA)’s denominational mission co-workers. Entry fees for the traditional golf outing are only $40/individual; $75/couple; $150/team of four players; and $20/children aged 9 to 18. Entry fees for the mini-golf outing are just $10/individual; $18/couple; $20/children aged 9 to 18; and no fee for children under age 9.

New place, new time A new time and a new place are some of the exciting changes affecting the start of Community Bible Study classes beginning September 14th and 15th in Estes Park.

The Evening Class starts Monday Sept. 14th at a new time, 5:30 p.m., and at a new location – Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church, 920 Big Thompson Ave (US 34).

“Back in 2002, those of us who started the evening class felt the Lord would raise up a class to serve the working folk of Estes Park. But as the years went on, and as people retired, we did not attract additional workers. We soon became a class of mostly retired people, with many snowbirds,” explains Teaching Director Robbi Telfer.

“We believe the Lord would have us return to that original vision of reaching working people as well as our faithful retired people. So, after months of prayer and discussion, we have decided to change the time for the evening class to run from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., still on Mondays,” added Telfer. “Although this goes over the dinner hour, it has the advantage of being early enough that people can come to class right from work.

For those who come hungry, we are planning, on a trial basis, to provide a snack of sandwiches and power bars or such. Coffee, tea, and Atomic Fire Balls will be available as before.”

Moving the class to Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church should make it easier for working people to attend. It’s an easier and more central location for people to get to on their way home from work.

Telfer emphasized how much CBS appreciates Rocky Mountain Church for hosting the Evening Class for almost ten years. “It has been a privilege to meet in your facility and we are grateful for the support and welcome we have felt from you,” Telfer told Pastor Jess Mahon.

“Moving our meeting to a new location also has wonderful Kingdom implications,” said Telfer. “Jesus told the disciples that when the world observed the unity of believers, it would know the Fa-

ther had sent the Son (John 17.21). Our presence at Our Lady will be a visible testimony to that unity in Jesus' Name. Both Father Joe at Our Lady and Pastor Jess at Rocky Mountain Church, where we met for almost ten years, are very excited by and sup-

portive of this Kingdom vision.”

The Day Class will continue to meet on Tuesday mornings from 9:15 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. at Mountain View Bible Fellowship at the corner of Peak View and Highway 7. The Day Class is primarily for women and registered children (ages 0-11). It starts September 15th. The Evening Class is for men, women, married couples and teens.

Both the Day Class and the Evening Class this year will be studying the first book in the New Testament, Matthew.

“I am so excited for our study of the Gospel of Matthew this year,” said Day Class Teaching Director Katie Soliday.

“Matthew shows us repeatedly that God desires a personal relationship with His people through His call and devotion to His disciples. He reveals the depth of His love through the plan of salvation that culminated in Christ's death and resurrection. Through many fulfilled prophecies, Matthew tells the story of an ever faithful God who has a plan and keeps his promises. Therefore we can trust Jesus' promises including His presence with us and eventual return at the end of the age. God brought purpose and hope to the Roman world through Jesus Christ and will bring purpose and hope to our world through the same Jesus and indwelling Holy Spirit. Isn't that exciting?”

Estes Park CBS Classes meet on a weekly basis with time off at Christmas and during Spring Break and wrap up by the end of April. 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.

Great Hymns Of Faith Concert

On Sunday, August 30th at 2:00 p.m., the choirs of the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran Church, and the Estes Valley Chamber Singers, along with the Highland Brass Quintet, will present a program of some of the most loved hymns of the Christian church in the sanctuary of Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, 1700 Brodie.

Throughout history composers have found hymn tunes to be the source of great inspiration. The three choirs will sing a wide variety of pieces based on tunes that have been an integral part of the Christian worship experience for most of our lives. The Highland Brass along with organists Larry Gillum and Phyllis Eggers will also play pieces free of the restraints of texts, which enables the composers to take these hymn tunes through a series of modulations and other musical treatments.

The program will open with the mass choirs, piano, tympani, and brass performing, “Hymn of Creation,” by Dan Forrest.

Dan has written a new composition based on the text of the traditional hymn tune, “I Sing The Almighty Power of God.” Dan is an up and coming young composer, and while not composing in the current classical tradition, his music is still well crafted and exciting.

The Presbyterian Church choir, directed

by Rich Dixon, will sing three arrangements, “Assurance” (Blessed Assurance) by

Ken Berg, “Just As I Am” and “I Need Thee Every Hour” both by Rich Dixon.

Shepherd of the Mountains choir, directed

by Loren Johnson, will sing, “Peace Like a River/Amazing Grace” and “Holy Manna” arranged by Joel Raney and “Walkin’ to Jordan” arranged by Jay Althouse.

The Estes Valley Chamber Singers will sing, “Beautiful River” (Shall We Gather at the River” by W. Hawley, “Deep River” by Matthew Culloton, and “O Day Full Of Grace” by F. Melius Christiansen.

“Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” will be heard twice in this program. First, the Highland Brass will play an arrangement

by Rich Dixon. This arrangement is a more introspective view of this piece. Later in the program, organist Larry Gillum will improvise a more joyous rendering of the tune “Nettleton.” The Highland Brass Quintet will also play, “Just a Closer Walk With Thee,” an arrangement by Don Gillis.

One cannot hear this piece without visualizing a slow moving funeral precession in New Orleans.

Phyllis Eggers, organist for the Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran Church, will play a piece based on the, “Doxology,” and the program will close with the mass choirs, brass, tympani, piano and organ in a great arrangement of “Holy, Holy, Holy”

by Dan Forrest.

The program is free. Circle Sunday, August 30th at 2:00 p.m. and come join us for a great afternoon of wonderful music.

Dorothy Leiper Dorothy Leiper of Estes Park died on Friday, August 21, 2015.

Dorothy M. Swiontek was born to Walter and Monafae (Cassell) Swiontek on July 3, 1931 in Valparaiso, Indiana.

Dorothy married Robert Leiper on December 27, 1951 at the United Presbyterian Church in Hammond, IN. She worked for J.C. Penney as a Merchandising Assistant in Waukegan, IL for fifteen years, retiring in 1989. In 1993 Dorothy and Robert started visiting Estes Park and working during the summers; they became permanent residents in 1998. She was employed at the K.O.A. Campground in Estes Park until 2008. Dorothy was a Deacon at Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, was the President of the Women’s Board as well as serving with the Stephen Ministers. She also

enjoyed being a part of a knitting club, reading, watching the hummingbirds and wildlife, but was especially proud to show off pictures of her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Dorothy is survived by her sons David Leiper (Mary) of Freeport, IL, Mark Leiper (Lois) of Loveland, CO and Steven Leiper of Gurnee, IL; seven grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; two nephews and one niece.

Clofa Hebert Clofa Berard Hebert died August 25, 2015 at Prospect Park Living Center in Estes Park, CO. Clofa was preceded in death by her husband Sidney Joseph Hebert, and her parents, Anicet and Aurelia Berard, five brothers, Anicet Berard Jr., Blanc Berard, Savie Berard, Felix Berard and Adolph Berard. Four sisters preceded Clofa, Lona Broussard, Louise DeBlanc, Anne Lafosse and Rube Gabarino.

Clofa is survived by her three children: daughter Leslie VanHess and husband Carl of Estes Park, Colorado. Two sons, Bert Hebert and his wife Tammy of Nederland, Texas. Gary Hebert of Houston, TX. Clofa has three granddaughters, Tina Ptaskiewicz, Cherice Cowan, and Hilary Saylor. Clofa has one grandson, Richard VanHess. Clofa’s six great grandchildren are Elaine and Nate Ptaskiewicz, Aidan and Amelie VanHess, Tommy and Jude Saylor. Clofa is also survived by her two dear sisters Eunie Berard and Aurelia Guirard, both of St. Martinville, Louisiana. Clofa also has a number of nieces and nephews Clofa was born June 16th, 1917 in St. Martinville, Louisiana. Clofa played basketball in High School and had stories to tell us about playing in the state championship game in Baton Rouge.

Clofa was proud to serve in the WAC’s during WWII. She also worked for General Motors in New Orleans during the Second World War. After marrying Sidney Hebert in 1947, Clofa moved to Port Arthur, Texas where she lived for 50 plus years. Our

mother belonged to St. James Catholic Church. She was active in the Altar Society and taught CCD for a number of years. She also belonged to the NCCW. After Sidney’s death Clofa worked at Woolco Dept.

Store. Her favorite job was being a Senior Aid. She loved visiting the folks at the nursing homes and going to the Senior Center in Port Arthur.

At the age of 86 our Mom moved to Estes Park, Colorado. She lived independently for nine more years. Clofa moved to PPLC at the age of 95. Our Mom made many friends there and she loved playing Bingo. Our family would like to thank everyone at PPLC who took such wonderful care of Clofa. No words can express our gratitude. Towards the end of Clofa’s life, hospice stepped in and helped out with care.

More love and compassion was shown to our Mom. Thank You, Hospice.

Clofa was funny, positive and never dwelt on the negative things in life. We all think it was her positive determined attitude that kept her in the world with us. She taught us self-confidence and how to look “on the sunny side.” What greater gift can you give your children?

She told us that she is hoping Sidney will meet her at the pearly gates. I’m sure her hopes come true.

We want to thank everyone who made visits, dropped off lemon drops and brought Clofa communion.

Clofa’s funeral Mass and interment will be in Port Arthur, Texas. Donations to PPLC or Hospice in Estes Park would be appreciated by Clofa’s family.

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 Friday, August 28, 2015 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at Parish Hall at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, 880 MacGregor Ave., Estes Park, CO 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.
