Keep Our Bears Safe Bears are being seen frequently in the Estes Valley. It is critical to the bears existence that we keep our trash and bird feeders stashed away so they won’t be tempted to feed on them. See more tips on page 15.

DIGITAL NEWS at www.epnews.com

Celebrating Colorado Cities & Towns Week What did you do this week? Did you wash your hands? Take a shower? Drink a glass of water? Turn on the lights? Watch TV? Drive somewhere in Town? Walk on a trail or sidewalk? Enjoy the flowers in Town?

Ride a shuttle? Use the parking garage?

Visit the Museum? Attend an event at the Events Complex or Bond Park? Throw something in a trash can or recycling container downtown? Enter a building in town knowing it is safe to occupy? See a police officer on the street or in your neighborhood? Can you imagine living without any of these services? If you did any of these things, you’ve been touched by the Town of Estes Park.

Now in its fifth year, Colorado Cities & Towns Week, Sept. 11-17, 2017, is an opportunity for municipalities to connect with residents and highlight the vital services provided by their city or town, as well as acknowledge outstanding municipal employees and volunteers Municipal government is the level of government closest to most citizens, and the one with the most direct daily impact upon its residents. It is truly government of, by, and for the people – the people who are making the decisions about the community are your neighbors, business owners, and community leaders. Although our local Town government has a daily impact on our lives, many folks don’t know all the areas where our quality of life is enhanced by our local Town employees.

The Mission of the Town of Estes Park is to “provide high-quality, reliable services for the benefit of our citizens, guests and employees, while being good stewards of public resources and our natural setting.� Town employees are dedicated to this mission and to providing you with high quality services all year long. They touch our lives in many ways and at many levels. Sometimes it’s a light touch, such as when you’re downtown and smile at the flowers and landscaping. Sometimes it’s a heavier touch, such as when the police officer gets the

drunk driver off the road. And sometimes it’s a helping hand, such as during the flood and the fires when Town staff worked non-stop to help the community when we needed it most.

It’s not just about the direct services either. It’s easy to forget the Town is one of the largest employers in the Estes Valley, providing good jobs, and helping to support families. Town employees volunteer and give back to the community in many ways. We have Town employees who are coaches in the schools, Scout leaders and active in their churches. Town employees support United Way and the Town has a Philanthropy Committee that organizes internal Town events that support local non-profits. There are Town employees who are foster parents and who volunteer their time to many of the 100 or more non-profit organizations in town.

It takes more than just paid employees to have a vibrant, healthy community. Did you know that there are approximately 450 volunteers that serve our community through the Town of Estes Park each year?

Volunteers serve on Town boards and committees and through public facing roles such as at the Museum, Ambassadors for the Visitor Center, Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership and the Police Auxiliary. Volunteers assist with many of the Town-sponsored events throughout the year.

The staff and volunteers of cities and towns help America run, each and every day of the year. They protect us and add to our quality of life so that we can turn on the faucet, flip the switch and safely drive down the road without a second thought.

Send us your photos of something you appreciate about Estes Park, whether a Town service or not. Email photos and captions to townadmin@estes.org by Sept.

17, then look for your photos with the hashtag #loveestespark on our Facebook and Twitter pages!

Daily News Headlines at www.epnews.com We’ve reached the end of August, our eighth month of the year. BUT whoa, it’s now September which, if you remember the Latin you didn’t learn in school (but Yours Truly had to) means seventh month. Hmmm, it’s true in French also!

(Yeh, and October means eighth, and so on.) So much for non-English languages.

But as we bid August good-bye let’s just recall the five U. S. Presidents born in that month. (Boy, if we had that many born every month just think how many more names school kids would have to learn!)

For starters we have Benjamin Harrison, our 23rd chief executive, and grandson of William Henry Harrison who was our ninth President. Now, how many other presidents can make that claim about one of their grandparents? Harrison was born on 20 August 1833. The place – North Bend, Ohio. The Republican Party was formed in 1856, nearly a quarter century after his birth. He would become one of its early members. With the start of the Civil War he joined the Union army, and he moved up through the ranks eventually becoming a brigadier general.

Following the war Harrison became politically active, surviving several unsuccessful efforts at election to public office before winning a seat in the U. S. Senate.

When in 1888 the Republican Party suddenly found itself without a prominent candidate for the Presidency after its presumed favorite James Blaine withdrew his name, it settled on Benjamin Harrison to run against incumbent President Grover Cleveland. (Pardon the digression, but I remember a political verse about Blaine. It went like this: “Blaine Blaine, James G. Blaine; the continental liar from the State of Maine.” Hmmm, political poetry back then! Why not!)

The 1888 election has been considered by some historians as the most corrupt presidential election in our history. Harrison clearly lost the popular vote, but he won the only votes that really count --those in the Electoral College ---- and became our 23rd President. And if you’d like a tidbit from our history, Harrison was preceded in the White House by Grover Cleveland. When, after his four year term, he ran for re-election, Harrison was defeated by...Grover Cleveland, the only time thus far in our history when a President would be elected to serve two NON-consecutive terms!

Let’s turn to a second President-to-be born in August. We’ll start with the date August 10, the year 1874, and the place West Branch, Iowa, by which time Harrison was 41 years old. Herbert Hoover lost both his parents before he was ten and was then raised by relatives in Oregon. When still in his twenties he went to China to organize relief efforts for Americans caught there during the 1900 Boxer Rebellion. He provided similar assistance in Europe during World War One. Following that latter war, during which

he played a major role in getting food products to American troops in Europe, Hoover was appointed head of American agricultural assistance to Europe. Then back home he served as Secretary of Commerce to Presidents Harding and Coolidge, and played a major role in projects such as the St. Lawrence Seaway and what became the...what else!! Hoover Dam. The Republican Party nominated him for President in 1928, and he won in a landslide, to become our 31st President.

How about our 36th chief executive!

Lyndon B. Johnson was born 27 August 1908 in Stonewall, Texas. He became President on 22 November 1963. Many of us remember that date, for it followed the assassination of President John Kennedy. Johnson would later be elected in his own right, and served until 20 January 1969.

And there’s our 42nd President! William “Bill” Clinton was born on the 19th of August in 1946 in the optimistically named community of Hope, Arkansas. The city’s name was appropriate for it was a time of prosperity and economic expansion.

With his father passing away he was raised by grandparents.

At age seventeen he participated in an American Legion program which included an invitation to the White House and meeting with President Kennedy.

That clearly made an impression, and helped shape his future. In 1978 he became the youngest governor in the United States. Fourteen years later he became President.

Still another August birth, this on the 4th of the month 1961, and in Honolulu, Hawaii. Something else out of the ordinary? Plenty! This future President grew up with no father, the latter having left the family when his son was but a child, and eventually returning to Kenya.

Raised primarily by grandparents the son would graduate from Columbia University in New York City majoring in political science, and then move to Chicago where he became a community organizer working for low income families.

In 1988 that son – Barack Obama – entered Harvard Law School, and eventually completing study there briefly joined a Chicago law firm. He returned to Harvard where he edited the Harvard Law Review. Marrying in 1992 did not slow his career. No need to recount it here in any detail. Returning home in 1996 he was elected to the Illinois State Senate, and then in 2004 to the U. S. Senate. It would take more than one column to detail his accomplishments. They would include receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, being elected U. S. President and then being re-elected. Born on the 4th he would become our 44th chief executive. Hmmm, the numbers match!

Time to bring this to a close. This is all for now.

Town Offices Closed For Labor Day The Town of Estes Park municipal offices will be closed Monday, Sept. 4 in observance of Labor Day. Offices will resume normal operating hours Tuesday, Sept. 5.

Did You Know You Can Choose To Switch To 100% Renewable Energy At Your Home Or Business Today?

Through the Renewable Energy Purchase Program (REPP), Estes Park Light & Power customers can sign up to purchase 100% carbon-free renewable energy either in 100 kilowatt-hour blocks or to cover their entire electric consumption. The Town of Estes Park has committed to purchasing renewable energy for all municipal buildings for the past seven years.

What is the Renewable Energy Purchase Program (REPP)? This program enables residential and commercial power customers to purchase energy from clean, renewable sources. When you participate in the REPP, you are supporting an alternative to fossil fuels. With the purchase of renewable energy certificates (RECs), you are buying the renewable attributes (i. e. environmental benefits) of a specific amount and type of renewable energy generation. The purchase of RECs helps reduce conventional electricity generation in the region where the renewable generator is located. With every block you purchase, and with every new customer that participates, more renewable energy will be used to power the grid. Your REC purchase helps build a market for renewable electricity. It also has other local and global environmental benefits, which may include emitting little or no regional air pollution or carbon dioxide.

Where does the REPP energy come from?

Renewable energy is purchased from Platte River Power Authority, Estes Park's wholesale electricity provider. Platte River acquires renewable energy from a variety of sources, including: Silver Sage Wind Project, owned and operated by Duke Energy. Platte River has purchased a power agreement through 2029.

Medicine Bow (Wyoming) Wind Project, owned and operated by Medicine Bow Wind, LLC. Platte River has purchased a power agreement through 2033.

Other potential sources of renewable energy: Short term purchases of renewable energy from other sources may be made when the supply of energy from the Silver Sage and Medicine Bow wind projects is not enough to cover demand.

Some renewable supply may be sourced as unbundled Renewable Energy Certificates from other regional wind generation.

Refer to the current Product Content Label to see the current mix of renewable energy sources. For comparison, the current average mix of resources supplying Estes Park nonrenewable subscribers includes Coal (69.6%), Natural Gas (. 5%), Hydroelectric (19.1%), Renewables (8.8%), and Unspecified Purchases (2%). This resource mix was provided to Estes Park by Platte River Power Authority for the year 2016.

Estes Park's Renewable Energy Purchase Program is Green-e Energy certified, and meets the environmental and consumerprotection standards set forth by the nonprofit Center for Resource Solutions.

How much does the REPP cost? For residential customers, REPP energy is sold in 100 kilowatt-hour (kWh) blocks; the cost is added to your regular utility bill. The current cost per block is $2.89. You can buy as many REPP blocks as you need for your specific energy requirement. The average home in the United States uses 909 kWh per month.

[Source: US EIA, 2013] Your bill will increase according to the number of REPP blocks you purchase. For commercial customers, there is a 500 kWh per month minimum required.

How do I sign up for the REPP? Customers can sign up for the REPP by completing the form in the brochure and mailing, faxing, or dropping it off in person at the Light & Power Department at Town Hall. For more information, please contact Reuben Bergsten, Utilities Director at 970-577-3583 or via email at rbergsten@estes.org, or Susie Parker, Utilities Administrative Assistant at 970-577-3588 or via email at sparker@estes.org.

What is the time frame of the agreement?

Customers signing up for the REPP commit to purchasing renewable energy for a minimum of one year, starting the month after signing up for the program. Enrollment will continue until the customer cancels their participation. For example, if a customer signs up for the REPP in January it will go into effect in February and the commitment runs through at least the following January.

There is no fee for canceling within the year commitment.

For complete details, terms and conditions, please visit www.estes.org/repp.

September Is Emergency Preparedness Month The Board of Larimer County Commissioners Tuesday proclaimed September, 2017 as Emergency Preparedness Month in Larimer County at their regular Administrative Matters meeting.

National Preparedness Month is a national effort each September from Larimer County and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to encourage Americans to be prepared for emergencies year-round in Larimer County.

Coinciding with Emergency Preparedness Month is the High Water Ready Program, beginning on September 9, 2017 to educate community members on the risk of flooding with public events in Larimer County, Loveland, and Fort Collins.

To encourage preparedness and community connectivity, Larimer Connects is holding three preparedness workshops, “How to Prepare for Everything.” Session 1 is at noon, October 14, 2017 at The Ranch in Loveland; Session 2 and 3 are at noon on November 4 and December 2, 2017 at The Grace Place Auditorium in Loveland.

Also, save the date to attend the upcoming Emergency Preparedness and Family Safety Expo, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., October 7, 2017 at The Ranch in Loveland. “In addition to being better prepared, these events are a great way to strengthen our communities,” said Larimer County Commissioner Steve Johnson.

US 34 Big Thompson Canyon To Close October 2, 2017 Winter full closure brings construction to the home stretch Colorado Department of Transportation and Kiewit Infrastructure Co. will continue construction in the Big Thompson Canyon this winter with a full closure of US 34, beginning Oct. 2. Canyon residents will be issued access permits for travel at specified times each day.

As October nears, CDOT and Kiewit are working to finalize all the logistics of this large-scale closure, but there are some details that the local communities can plan for at this time. Public meetings and permit distribution opportunities will be held Monday, Sept. 11, at Estes Park High School and Wednesday, Sept. 13, at Namaqua Elementary School in Loveland where more information will be available about upcoming work and the closure. Both meetings will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. Information will also be posted to the project website in early September.

The canyon will close from just east of mile point 66 (just east of Mall Road) to mile point 83 (the Dam Store) to through traffic on Monday, Oct. 2, and will re-open (weather dependent) just prior to the Memorial Day weekend 2018. During this closure, there will be several work zones spread out over about 12 miles of the canyon. As work progresses, sections of the road will be reopened, providing more flexible access to canyon residents.

The work near the landslide at approximately mile points 72 to 74 (just west of Waltonia) will require a full closure for several months, with no access, even during the allowed travel times. Canyon residents headed to Estes Park will need to use County Road 43, and all others without permits (including oversized vehicles) will need to use the US 36 detour. Once the work in this area is complete, canyon residents will be able to travel through this section of US 34 during the allowed travel times.

During the closure, residents and property owners in the canyon will be allowed access with their permit each day from 6 to 8:30 a.m. and again from 4 to 7 p.m. (Monday – Thursday). Friday through Sunday, the afternoon open hours will be extended to 4 to 8 p.m. Additional information regarding comments from the last round of public meetings will be released as it is finalized, and at the upcoming public meetings.

Permits will be distributed to canyon residents (all properties off of US 34 from the Dam Store to Mall Road, and on County Road 43 to Glen Haven). These permits, which will be broken up into different areas based on property location in the canyon, will be distributed at upcoming public meetings and during specified office hours.

More information on these dates, times and locations will be released in the coming days.

CDOT understands that canyon residents living within the closure boundaries will need access at times other than the morning and afternoon openings. With this in mind, the team has developed a plan to

provide a Resident Scheduling Service (RSS). Separate from the permitting process, the RSS service will provide coordinated access in and out of the canyon, outside of the morning and afternoon openings, for residents living within the closure area. Step-by-step instructions for this service will be explained at the September public meetings.

County Road 43 residents will be provided permits, but will not qualify for the Resident Scheduling Service because they do not live within the closure limits. These residents will always have access in and out of their home on CR 43 to US 36. Permits will be used to access US 34 directly into Loveland during regular morning and night openings.

Due to the significant volume of commuters, CDOT determined, through careful analysis, that they will be unable to provide permits to commuters during this closure.

When there are additional opportunities to open the canyon to resident travel or public travel, announcements will be made via the project website, email and the hotline recording.

All drivers can plan to access the canyon on Thanksgiving (Thursday, Nov. 23) and again from Saturday, Dec. 23, until Tuesday, Jan. 2. Pilot cars will direct traffic through the work areas, but permits will not be necessary.

Emergency responders, snow removal and Thompson Valley and Estes Park school buses will continue to receive priority access during the closure.

CDOT is also working with the post offices, parcel delivery companies, and the various service providers that need to access the canyon to provide coordinated access during the full closure.

Although the canyon will open prior to the Memorial Day weekend in 2018, there will still be traffic impacts for work such as asphalt paving and guardrail installation throughout the summer. Additional river restoration work, work on access bridges and other off-corridor work that has less impact on US 34 traffic will likely continue into the fall and winter of 2018.

Project background: US 34 Big Thompson Canyon’s roads and bridges were heavily damaged during the 2013 floods with many homes damaged and over 100 air lifted evacuations. The canyon and its residents also suffered from flooding in 1976. As a result of these two events, CDOT studied the hydraulic flow of the river in the canyon and its impact on the road and bridges along its path while looking for safety improvements and resiliency solutions to prevent/protect against future flood events.

An Easy Way To Help The Elk Stow away your hammocks, volleyball nets, swings By: Kris Hazelton

The elk rut in the Estes Valley is underway and the Colorado Parks and Wildlife now urges us to please look around our homes, yards and businesses for items that the bulls may get tangled up in.

Just this week a large bull got his antlers caught in a child’s swing. The swing was hanging outside and while the homeowner was away, a bull happened by and tried to spar with the swing. Imagine the shock when the homeowner came home to find the bull with their swing hanging from the bull’s antlers.

This is too common an occurrence in the fall when bulls try to spar with anything that moves.

When bull elk are pumped up with testosterone, anything that moves can be of interest to that bull. Swings, hammocks, volleyball nets and tire swings blowing in the wind pose a challenge for the elk and they will approach these items and actually spar with them. This can be a very dangerous practice as their

antlers can easily become entangled in these items we have all around our homes and yards.

The CPW is urging all residents to bring these items in for the fall, to avoid any encounters such as the entangled bulls shown on this page.

According to CPW Wildlife Managers, they anticipate they will have to drug immobilize several elk this season that will get tangled in a fence, a piece of playground equipment, even lawn furniture.

This kind of entrapment is totally preventable, just take a walk around your home and yard and look to see what an animal might get caught up in.

Sometimes, elk are able to be rescued from entanglements by drug immobilizing them and then freeing them from whatever they are caught up in. Often times though, the results are tragic and the bulls die.

Lets make sure to look over our yards and bring in anything that might pose an entrapment hazard for our resident elk.

Do it today, your actions could save the lives of these beautiful creatures.

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com On the Flattop trail there is a sign which Ken TeSelle, my predecessor at the Y, quoted regularly while explaining the Y’s “safety first” policy to hikers before their day on the trail. The sign reads, “Mountains Don’t Care. ” The mountains don’t care if you’ve run out of water after spending hours trekking their flanks. They don’t care if lightning makes your hair stand at attention, if the hail hurts when it ricochets off your shoulders, if you’re knees are complaining or your head aches or your feet are throbbing.

And the mountains certainly don’t care if you take one single misstep that knocks you off balance and you fall, hitting your head on your way down and never getting back up again. We are reminded much too often that the mountains really don’t care.

These hard, cold, merciless mountains that snatch life away from us in an instant are the very same majestic, wondrous mountains that fill our hearts with indescribable elation and awe. Their beauty causes a catch in our throat and tears to sting our eyes. They stir something deep within that is too big to be named, yet others with whom we’ve shared these mountains know and understand what that something is.

Conversely, Ken TeSelle cared deeply for the Rocky Mountains. He’d been exploring them since he was a boy, when his family came out to Estes, camped at Glacier Basin campgrounds, and he hiked up (or, from the stories I’ve heard, ran up) Emerald Mountain regularly. For decades, Ken respected the power of the mountains and took the necessary measures to be safe when he hiked. Despite his every effort, the mountains took Ken from us, folding him into their everlasting, rugged embrace.

In the last year, we have lost three former YMCA of the Rockies hikemasters: Maggie O’Malley Luck, Dave Jacks and last week, Ken TeSelle. All three were especially positive people who had a magnetic presence.

Ken was our supervisor for seven years. Although hikemaster Devon Colegrove was not under Ken’s tutelage, he has been influenced by Ken’s mark on the Y’s hiking program. After Ken took his last breath on Mount Lady Washington last Wednesday, I asked Devon if I could share his recent Facebook post, apropos under the circumstances. He gave his permission: I often wonder why we go to the moun-

tains.

In the past month five people have died attempting to climb Capital Peak (considered Colorado's hardest 14er), a former hikemaster passed away hiking in the park, a teenager died while soloing the First Flatiron, and another man fell and died attempting the Grand Traverse in the Tetons.

Another man had to be rescued off the Petit in Rocky Mountain National Park last week after falling 15 feet and breaking both ankles.

Why do we attempt recreational activities that we know could easily kill us? I'm humbled, to say the least.

I view the mountains as a place of enlightenment and learning, a place of overwhelming beauty. I could never write down all the lessons they have taught me over the past four summers. Does enlightenment and extreme joy have to come at such a high cost though? Aren't there easier ways to learn and grow? I often wonder.

I imagine the pain of finding someone's car at a trailhead and knowing that person would never have guessed that was the last time they would ever drive. That image keeps replying over in my head; the sorrow, the pain, the questions that will never be answered.

I know I won't stop hiking and climbing mountains. Despite the death and pain, there is something inside each of us that tells us that "it" won't happen to us. I guess that's a survival instinct. Otherwise none of us would get in a car again. We have to assume the best.

Be safe out there. Judge your abilities honestly, be wild, and I'll see ya on the trails.

There are people counting on you to come back to your car.

Last week, Ken did not return to his car parked at the Longs Peak trailhead. But despite what the signs say, I believe the mountains do care, and they will lift his soaring spirit so we may feel close to him when we hike their rocky trails.

“We are now in the mountains and they are in us, kindling enthusiasm, making every nerve quiver, filling every pore and cell of us. ” ~ John Muir You may let The Thunker know what you think at her e-mail address, donoholdt@gmail.com. © 2017 Sarah Donohoe

Your News Is Digital at www.epnews.com I know my daughter-in-law loves me but sometimes I have my doubts about her joking with me. I spent my entire last week-end cooking zucchini. You ask why? Cecelia has a lovely garden but somehow a zucchini was overlooked and like “Topsy” in the old children’s story, it grew and grew. She lovingly (?) brought it me to prepare. Here is a picture of the monster that I was challenged to prepare. I fixed enough zucchini bread for an army and then I made casseroles with the rest of the 10 pound giant. My friend Susan suggested I use some of it to make a dish similar to the old Black-Eye Pea yellow squash recipe but use the zucchini. It turned out fairly tasty but next time I will mix the two as I think the zucchini is a little too bland.

Here is the recipe but using both yellow squash and zucchini or just use the yellow.

The group’s first stop was Once Upon A Hive, located at 145 E. Elkhorn Avenue.

Owners Jason & Monica Coffman were on hand to welcome attendees and show them around the store. Once Upon A Hive started seven years ago as a shop on Etsy, as a result of their hobby of making beeswax candles (which can be difficult to find in the marketplace). As their business grew, they decided to open a storefront here in Estes, first in the Gaslight Shops on Moraine Avenue. They moved to the Old Church Shops on West Elkhorn and then once more to their current space inside the Park Place Mall.

Everything in the shop is made by Jason and Monica, from scented beeswax candles (the jar size burns for 40-50 hours!), to their newly added line of small woodworking projects, to a body line (that includes lotion bars, lip balm, and foot balm). Jason walked the group through the process of making a beeswax candle – from creating the stencil and mold to the final product – and Monica explained her role as quality control, design, packaging, and more. Many of the candle scents are based off of our local environment, including “Rocky Mountain National Park” and “Summer in Estes Park,” and they have even partnered with Elkins

Tips When Living With Black Bears 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.

Commemoration Of The 50th Anniversary Of The Vietnam War

American Legion Post 119 in Estes Park is participating in a nationwide commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War with a ceremony and dinner to pay tribute to those who served in the U. S. Armed Forces during that period.

The Legion invites all citizens and visitors to join in this commemoration as we recognize the valor of a generation that served with honor, and express the gratitude of a Nation for that service. A special invitation is extended to all Vietnam-era veterans and their loved ones to attend this event. Justin Brandenburg, Outreach Specialist from the Boulder Veterans Center, will lead the observance which will include a pinning ceremony to honor Vietnam-era Veterans. The ceremony will be followed by a

steak dinner prepared and served by the Sons of American Legion Post 119 that, thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, will be complementary for all Vietnam veterans. (Please bring verification of your service, in the form of a Legion membership card, a DD-214, or other documentation.)

The dinner charge for non-Vietnam-veterans and family members is a modest $18 per plate.

The event will take place on Friday September 8, 2017 at the American Legion Hall in Estes Park. The ceremony begins at 5:00 p. m., and the dinner follows at 5:30 p. m.

Please join us for this important occasion. Contact the Legion at estespost119@hotmail.com or 970-586-6118 with questions, or to let us know you are coming.

The American Legion is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization that was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. Estes Park’s Post 119 was chartered in 1920 as the local branch of that national organization. It is located at 850 N. St. Vrain Avenue, at the corner of Highways 36 and 7. Veterans and their family members are encouraged to join and support this worthy organization.

The Monitored Weed Drop-off was held August 26. Over 221 folks attended, 185 vehicles, and 974 large yard/paper bags of weeds were collected. Many folks brought plants to be identified and consulted with ELSA volunteers on site. Each car was given a paper bag for future weed collection and a weed booklet if requested. The last Monitored Weed Drop-off will be held September 23. Thanks to all who made this event a success – Estes Land Stewardship Association volunteers, Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado Department of Agriculture, Estes Valley Land Trust, Ace Hardware, EP News, and individual ELSA donors.

To better insure the continuation of these events, we strongly advise citizens to only deposit bagged weeds during the day and hours of the Monitored Weed Drop-off. Illegal dumping of materials at this site during other times would have adverse effects.

Will You Love Me & Give Me A Home?

Jasmine is one year old and very loving, gentle and sweet and enjoys belly rubs.

Sweet Kemah is about three years old, she is house trained, good with cats and loves to play with other dogs, however she is deaf. She is afraid of fast movements so a home without small children would be best. Kemah runs five miles at the lake every morning and really enjoys that. She is also kennel trained and is an

â&#x20AC;&#x153;easy to loveâ&#x20AC;? kind of girl.

Olivia is a two year old Himalayan mix.

She is scared of children and dogs but loves to be pet and loved on. Her owner died and she needs a new forever home.

Harleigh is a one year old loving sweet kitty. She does well with other cats and is just as sweet as can be.

Last but not least, there are six budgies (parakeets) up for adoption, in a variety of pretty colors, both males and females.

Stop down to the Pet Lodge at the Animal Medical Center on Manford Avenue to meet any of these great pets or call 586-9282 for more information.

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

Table Settings 101: September 15 At The Estes Park Museum

Village Thrift Shop Everything Ev thi you needd - andd more!!

Within every tableware piece that has been shared or handed down through the family, there is a story. Celebrating those stories, as well the creative ways to display these items—whether vintage or contemporary, formal or informal—is the inspiration behind a special event happening this month at the Estes Park Museum.

The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation is hosting Table Settings 101 on Friday, September 15 at 1:00 p.m. This special one-hour program, 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.

Table Settings 101 is a prelude event to the second annual Colorado TableSettings competition, scheduled for October 27-29 at the YMCA of the Rockies. That weekend, participants will be provided space to arrange their own unique table settings around the theme, “Happy Birthday, Estes Park: 100 Years, Past and Present.” Those not entering a table setting are encouraged to attend as spectators.

This month’s informal Table Settings 101 event at the Museum will offer anyone considering an entry their opportunity to gain a sense of the style and setup 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, businesses, and children alike are all invited to consider entering, and the event will feature photographs from last year’s winning entries.

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.

Full information and entry forms are available at the Estes Park Museum (200 4th St.) and online at http://estesparkmuseumfriends.org. Entry fee is $20 for individuals and $30 for groups. The registration deadline is October 23. (No registration is required to attend the free September 15 open house event at the Estes Park Museum).

Business sponsorships are being sought for this year’s fundraiser. Anyone wishing to learn more about sponsorship is encouraged to contact Museum Friends board member Barb Cole at 970-5861811 or email info@estesparkmuseumfriends.org The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc., is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting the Museum through fundraising, publications, volunteerism, outreach, and special projects and events. Membership information is available by visiting www.estesparkmuseumfriends.org

Finn Tierney 12th Grade Congratulations to Finn Tierney, Student of the Week for September 1, 2017.

School activities Finn enjoys are cross country, wrestling and swimming.

Outside of school he volunteers for the fire department and he likes hunting, fishing, backpacking, weight lifting, trail running, swimming and snowboarding.

Finn has earned his varsity letter two years in a row in all three of his sports.

He is the cross country team captain for the second year, and made all-conference on the team, as well as all-regional and is on the school cross country record board. He earned an academic all state honorable mention

and is on the honor roll.

Finnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite quote is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more you seek uncomfortable, the more you will become comfortableâ&#x20AC;? by Coner McGregor. He loves this quote because he trains and pushes himself to his limits so he will always be prepared when the time comes.

After high school Finn plans to attend Western State Colorado University to study outdoor recreation and leadership. He plans to enlist in the Navy Special Operations program.

Finn is excited for his senior year and is ready to give his maximum effort in academics and in sports (and to have a lot of fun!)

Bank of Estes Park Student Legacy Award: In addition to being awarded the Student of the Week, each winner will be given the opportunity to nominate the school program of their choice for the chance to win $500. At the end of the school year, one such nomination will be randomly selected, and that school program will be awarded the $500 Bank of Estes Park Student Legacy Award, in that student's name.

National Philanthropy Day in Estes Park is a community wide event that celebrates the wonderful giving nature of our community. This year we will be celebrating 100 years of Enriching Estes with a Giving Heart. Philanthropy comes in all forms, donating money to charitable causes, volunteering time assisting one of the over 100 nonprofits in the valley, or sharing a special talent that can make a huge difference in someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life.

The Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center is proud to organize this communitywide event sponsored at held at the YMCA of the Rockies on Thursday, November 9 from 4- 7 p.m.

A big part of the evening is to recognize those who have made an impact during the past year. We are currently seeking nominations in four award categories: Youth Philanthropist of the Year, Business Philanthropist of the Year, Enduring Service and the Katie Speer Individual Philanthropist of the Year.

The individual philanthropist of the year is the most nominated category as there are so many who truly enrich Estes with their giving hearts! This award is intended to recognize an individual or group who has made a significant impact on the Estes valley community in the previous year (August 2016 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; August 2017) through philanthropic activities.

Employees of institutions that do philanthropic work are not eligible for this award for work performed in the course of their regular job duties. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award nominees and previous yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipient were an inspiration to us all and included Cynthia Krumme, Wayne Park,

Craig Soderberg, Kristen Berg, Connie Dedon, Steve Smersh, and Dr. John Cooper. This week we will highlight the 2016 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Katie Speerâ&#x20AC;? Individual Philanthropist of the Year Award recipient, Kristen Berg.

Kristen has been the president of Families for Estes for the past four years, volunteers at the elementary school, and works for EVICS. In the past year, Families for Estes has positively impacted almost every young family in the valley.

They held two free family events, partnered with the Senior Center for four Families and Seniors Together events, and hosted an annual Teddy Bear Clinic at the hospital to take the fear out of doctor visits. FFE provides baby bags for every baby born in our hospital, containing everything a new family needs. FFE contributed funds to the new bike park.

The Pumpkins and Pilsners fundraiser in October is their sole source of funding.

Kristen works tirelessly to secure donations and volunteers, plans meetings, keeps the website and Facebook page updated so young families can be aware of all events they might enjoy, and plans events. If you see an event in this valley for young families Kristen and FFE had something to do with it.

More information and nomination forms may be found at www.epnonprofit.org. Award nomination deadline is Friday, September 29.

For additional information or questions, please contact Jill Lancaster, Executive Director, Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center 970-480-7805; director@epnonprofit.org or visit our website www.epnonprofit.org.

Board Governance Roundtables Starting September 14 The Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center is offering a unique opportunity for nonprofit organizations this fall - a 5 month series of roundtable discussions focused on the Ten Basic Responsibilities of Nonprofit Boards.

Roundtables are free to all nonprofit leaders in or serving the Estes Valley with a special emphasis on encouraging board member attendance. Is your board aware of their basic responsibilities? Do you need a quick check up? Do you even know what you don't know? Come and learn, discuss, and network with others and build a stronger organization.

The first session will be held on Thursday, September 14 from Noon – 1:30 p. m. at the Estes Valley Library and will focus on Mission and Building a Competent Board.

“We are excited to provide this opportunity because volunteer board members need more than enthusiasm for a cause, passion for a mission, or good intentions.

To be effective, they need to understand and perform all of their governing responsibilities, ” stated Jill Lancaster, EPNRC Executive Director. “It is our belief that by participating in live discussions around this issue, nonprofit leaders will take away real-life examples of how to LIVE and model great board governance. ” Thanks to a generous grant from the Village Thrift Shop, every organization will receive the highly acclaimed BoardSource book and workbook “Ten Basic Responsibilities of Nonprofit Boards. ” All Lunch & Learn Roundtable Discussions are held on Thursdays from Noon – 1:30 pm in the Hondius Room at the Estes Valley Library. Each roundtable discussion will be facilitated by leaders in the field – those with experience in that particular topic.

Please note, more than one person per organization is encouraged to attend.

The objectives of this program are to provide local training and discussion on the Ten Basic Responsibilities of Nonprofit Boards to ensure that our community’s organizations have the resources, leadership, and oversight necessary to carry out their missions and other vital activities; build capacity for our community’s nonprofits; and, encourage networking, problem solving and resource building. Specifically to train board members and other nonprofit leaders in the area of governance.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;HEIGH HO, HEIGH HO, ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S OFF TO WORK WE GO!â&#x20AC;?

As Labor Day approaches, a day set aside to honor labor and give a small break to those in the working world, it seems fit to consider the great blessing available to most: the privilege of work. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Blessing?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sadly, surveys show that over 70% of people quizzed say they dislike, even â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, their job. We see this reflected in such things as â&#x20AC;&#x153;TGIFâ&#x20AC;? (Thank goodness itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Friday); bumper stickers like: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in no hurry. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just going to workâ&#x20AC;?; and symptoms like: calling in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or just failing to show up.

This failure to enjoy oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job is sad, since there are many benefits gained from being employed. Besides income gained, a job often brings a sense of self-esteemâ&#x20AC;Śa feeling that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m neededâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Jesus shared a story about a landowner who went out to hire men to work for him. After his first and second â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hiresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; he went out again and asked men, â&#x20AC;&#x153;why stand you here idle?â&#x20AC;? Their response? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because no one has hired us.â&#x20AC;? One senses that these men felt unneeded and unwanted.

Few working-age people feel good about themselves when they are unemployed. Small wonder, then, that many out-of-work people let that sense of low self-worth drag them into less noble, even criminal, activity. This is so true among many young people. We currently know that over one-fourth of our youth of high school and college age are not in school nor working. With that being true, small wonder that drug abuse and crime are the direction taken by so many.

In the midst of all that, we all need to examine our thoughts about our jobs. Are we thankful for them? Do we â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;find fulfillmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in our work? Wise Solomon says that one of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;giftsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;work diligentlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;find enjoymentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in our work. This makes sense since, when God placed Adam and Eve in a perfect setting in the Garden of Eden, He told them to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;care for itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. So, even in a perfect world, work was a part of the plan. Jesus once said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Father works and I workâ&#x20AC;?, indicating that they both intend for us to do likewise.

But, sadly, many do not pursue and seize job opportunities, choosing rather to have others or society provide for their needs. One recent report told of a young woman who proudly claimed that she was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the family bread-winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; because she gives birth to out-of-wedlock babies, one after another, resulting in Social Services stepping in and hiring her mother, at a large sum per child, to care for the babies. Such costs our society dearly and, unfortunately, sets the stage for children raised in this way to propagate that same spirit for years to come. The loss incurred, besides being financial, is that many children grow up lacking that sense of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;self-worthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; so vital for happiness.

So, what should we do? Solomon urges, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might!â&#x20AC;? Give it all youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got. When we do we will â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;find fulfillmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and a sense of value. Others will see that we feel blessed to have the job and enjoy what we do. After modelling it, we need to teach our children a good â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;work ethicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, with chores early on and reinforcement as they do them. We can also encourage others we see doing such. In Estes Park Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come across 'Lemonade standsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, manned by small children. Even if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not thirsty Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to stop and buy a drink to reward their efforts. We can do the same for others as well: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tippingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appropriately; saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thank youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; often, showing people we appreciate their labors and, hopefully, making their work more enjoyable and rewarding.

As we approach the holiday, I wish you happy â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Laboringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Days! (Bob)

Heartfelt Thanks For Help With Nathan Weberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fundraising Efforts

On behalf of Nathan Weber, we would like to extend gracious and heartfelt appreciation to the following business that allowed Nathan to place donation jars in their places of business: Mountain Home Cafe, Rambo's Longhorn Liquor, Plum Creek Shoe Store, Moose Creek, Reel Mountain Theater, Big Horn Restaurant and NotchTop Bakery & Cafe.

Anyone who knows Nathan Weber knows heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an awesome kid that has taken the lemons life has given him and done his best to make lemonade. You see, Nathan was fighting an unnamed demon for a long time...a demon that was debilitating and deforming his feet and ankles.

That demon is now attacking his hands

and it has a name - Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (CMT).

Charcot Marie Tooth is a disease of the peripheral nerves that control muscles (unlike the muscular dystrophies which affect the muscles themselves). CMT is slowly progressing, cause of loss of normal function and/or sensation in the lower legs/feet and hands/arms. CMT is currently incurable.

Nathan had one surgery in April of 2017 to correct bones in his left foot and is scheduled to have surgery on his right foot October 30, 2017.

Medical bills have been in the tens of thousands.

These donations have helped with the cost of medical bills.

With the correction of the bones in his left foot, it has enabled Nathan to walk freely without crutches or cane since he was nine years of age. He just celebrated his 17th birthday.

Please help him in this lifelong battle by visiting www.youcaring.com/nathanweber-710768 Please educate yourself about this genetic disease.

Thank you, Brian & Vicki Weber, Garry & Melinda Bloom, Floyd & Virginia Denton

You only hear the best

when you come to the Festival in Estes Park. â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an inexpensive undertaking.

The Festival pays all of the groupsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; air travel expenses, room and board, ground transportation, and even insurance in some cases. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thousands and thousands of dollars.

One non-musical group performing at the tattoo is the Commanding Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mounted Color Guard from the First Infantry Division at Fort Riley, Kansas. It is one of only seven equestrian units in the U. S. Army. It will put on a dazzling exhibition of horsemanship that dates back to frontier days in America.

The First Brigade Band from Watertown, Wisconsin also brings history alive as it plays with antique musical instruments that date back to the Civil War. Check out which way the horns face. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be surprised.

There will be Celtic rock music, folk music, an Irish dancing competition, a bagpiping competition, jousting competition, and an athletic competition, such as the caber toss. Some describe that as throwing a telephone pole end over end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how those guys get it up in the air let alone throw it, â&#x20AC;? says Durward. He says a lot of the elements of the competition are the basis for the modern Olympics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The shot put meant throwing a cannon ball, a shot. The hammer throw: the guys who worked in the quarries had these huge 16-pound hammers.

Who could throw it the farthest? The farmers walk was to see how far you could carry 600 pounds of iron. The Scots are just so competitive. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing anything, by gosh, I can do it better. â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

The Longs Peak Scottish-Irish Highland Festival runs Sept. 7-10. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the pa-

rade of clans through downtown Estes Park on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free.

The Tattoo is Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night at 7:30 p.m., Sept. 7-9 at the Fairgrounds Arena.

Give Wildlife A Brake In The Estes Valley Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to remind motorists to drive safely in wildlife-prone areas. In the Estes Valley at least four elk or deer have been hit by vehicles just in the last few weeks.

This is a tragedy for both humans and the animals.

Just by being aware while driving, you can help prevent damage to your vehicle and/or help save the life of an animal.

Slow down, be aware and save lives.

A large deer, elk or moose can cause great damage to a vehicle, and more importantly, to motorists. We want to continue to remind motorists to drive carefully, in wildlife-prone areas and elsewhere.

Wildlife zone driving safety tips First and foremost, slow down! Keeping your speed in check gives you a better chance of stopping in time if an animal darts into the road. Obey all speed limits, traffic signs and regulations.

Watch for wildlife in and near the road at dawn, dusk, and in the first few hours after darkness. Keep in mind that where there is one animal, there are probably othersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;young animals following their mother or male animals pur-

suing a female.

Wear seatbelts and limit distractions while driving.

No texting and driving.

Heed animal warning signs.

Be alert for the potential of wildlife, particularly where wildlife warning signs are posted.

Actively scan all sides of the road as you drive and look for any signs of wildlife.

One potential sign of wildlife is glowing or red eyes that become visible as vehicle headlights bounce off the eyes of animals.

Adjust driving speeds if necessary to help reduce the chance and impact of an animal collision.

Remember that many accidents are not due to colliding with wildlife but are the

result of driving into another car or truck in the opposite lane while trying to avoid colliding with the animal.

The elk rut has begun and the mule deer rut will start in a few weeks. The animals pay way more attention to each other at this time and not the traffic so we must be diligent in watching for them.

Use your vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high beams at night to view the roadway ahead when there is no oncoming traffic.

Bailey Ash 12th Grade Congratulations to Bailey Ash, Student of the Week for the first week of school.

School activities Bailey enjoys are volleyball, diving, cheer and being a member of Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA).

Outside of school she loves hiking, gymnastics, reading, traveling, horseback riding, coaching and volunteering. Other fun facts about Bailey is that she can do a back flip and she has broken seven bones throughout her lifetime.

Bailey maintains a 3.8 GPA and is a varsity captain. She earned a high SAT score and is taking four AP classes. She

is a member of the Sports Medicine Academy and an All American Athlete and an Academic All-State recipient.

Bailey’s favorite quote is “Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in most” from the movie, Secondhand Lions. She loves this quote because she thinks it is so important to believe in something.

After high school Bailey plans to go into either pre-med or athletic training out of state, possibly at Boston or UNH.

Bank of Estes Park Student Legacy Award: In addition to being awarded the Student of the Week, each winner will be given the opportunity to nominate the school program of their choice for the chance to win $500. At the end of the school year, one such nomination will be randomly selected, and that school program will be awarded the $500 Bank of Estes Park Student Legacy Award, in that student's name.

Recognized as one of the most successful folkrock duos of the 70s, Michael Brewer and Tom Shipley have remained true to their original form and fresh in spirit.

Still as passionate as ever, they continue to blend guitars and voices and perform for audiences 40 years after their trademark vocal harmonies and intertwined acoustic guitars carved a unique niche in America's soundboard.

"One Toke Over the Line" became a huge hit single, but that was small measure of the impact Brewer & Shipley had on people who listened to the tremendous range of their music. Album buyers understood that these men were designers, not pop music knock-offs, and as prolific as they were, they didn't write songs to any formula.

Each album, from Down in L.A. to Heartland, was a meticulously woven tapestry of fabric they had invented one song at a time.

The duo landed three singles on the billboard charts and had the pleasure of working with such notables as Mike Bloomfield, Leon Russell, Jimmy Messina, Elton John, The Eagles, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel and Bonnie Raitt.

They have performed in some of the great music venues, including Carnegie Hall, The Troubadour, The Roxy, and Arrowhead Stadium.

Brewer & Shipley have recorded albums for four different labels-- A&M Records, Buddah/Kama Sutra Records, Capitol Records, and their own One Toke Productions. They received the Folk Alliance International "Spirit of Folk Award" and were inducted into the Kansas Music Hall of Fame and the Missouri Music Hall of Fame.

Accomplished musicians who have created timeless music spanning 40 ears, 50 states and many countries: Brewer & Shipley ... two guys, two guitars, two great voices still blending as one.

Their melodies and underlying lyrical themes of personal freedom and traditional songs of love still resonate with longtime fans while continuing to draw new ones.

Tickets for the Sept. 7th concert are only $25 in advance, $30 day of the concert.

Get tickets by going to www.historicparktheatre.com or you can buy them at the box office. Check out parktheatre@comcast.net for more details.

Historic Park Theatre & Café is located at 130 Moraine Avenue, Estes Park.

Hike With A Naturalist

There’s no better way to spend a Saturday in Estes Park than by getting outside to enjoy the majesty of Rocky Mountain National Park. On Saturday September 9th, join the Rocky Mountain Conservancy-Field Institute for our “Hike with Naturalist” to Bridal Veil Falls, and ex-

plore a hidden gem in our own backyard while avoiding the crowds of Bear Lake and Trail Ridge Road.

The moderate six-mile hike will depart from the quiet Cow Creek Trailhead. As the trail meanders along Cow Creek, hikers will be treated to expansive views of Lumpy Ridge, pristine meadows, and autumnal aspen stands. Wildlife viewing opportunities are sure to be plentiful, as the area is frequented by elk, deer, and birds of prey. After three miles, hikers will reach the grand finale: the thundering twenty-foot Bridal Veil Falls. Best of all, our expert naturalist will be present every step of the way to answer questions and provide background on the area’s history, geology, and wildlife.

For more information on our “Hike with a Naturalist” or to register for the September 9th hike, call (970) 586-3262, or visit us online at www.rmconservancy.org/events.

“The annual John Denver Tribute in Estes Park is one of the most gratifying concerts that I perform, and I am proud to keep Denver’s music, memory and messages alive through this event,” Fitch said.

The concert will once again be held in the Walter G. Ruesch Auditorium at the YMCA of the Rockies, which was remodeled just last year. Seats may be reserved on-line. Doors will open at 4:00 and the opening act, Dahlby and Nadine, will begin at 5:00. The John Denver tribute will begin at 6:30 p.m.

“I am proud to perform with a topnotch band that interprets John Denver’s songs with both fun and reverence.” Fitch said. “I’ve been playing with these fine

musicians for several years now: renowned Denver fiddler Johnny Neill; Chris Kennison, playing pedal steel, dobro and banjo; drummer Jeff Kennison, Chris’s brother; my sister, vocalist Melinda Morris; her son Eamonn Morris, performing on bass and cello; and Mark Rashid, joining us on lead guitar.”

Advance reserved tickets are available at Macdonald Book Shop, the Estes Park Visitor Center or on line at www.estesparklionsclub.org. Doors will open and tickets will also be available at the Ruesch Auditorium beginning at 4 p.m. the day of the show.

Lions Clubs International are 1.3 million men and women in 201 countries and geographic areas. They conduct vision and health screenings, build parks, support eye hospitals, award scholarships, assist youth, provide help in time of disaster, foster international relations and much more. And Lions Clubs’ cultural and environmental programs help us to understand, celebrate and protect our planet and its inhabitants.

Enjoy An Afternoon Of Wine And Novel Music Snowy Peaks Winery welcomes Sharon Glassman, author and musician, for a live concert Friday, September 1, 4:30-6:30.

Glassman is the author of “Blame It On Hoboken” the audiobook featured on Snowy Peaks Winery’s Book Club Wine, Oso Rosé.

The Book Club Wine was created to give book lovers easy access to the main ingredients for a great book club meeting – a bottle of wine and a fun audio book that busy readers can take with them and listen to when they just don’t have time to read. On each bottle of Oso Rosé, readers will find a code that connects to a free download of “Blame it on Hoboken,” a charming audio novel with 12 original songs, dozens of actors and lots of fun

sound effects. Set in Sinatra’s hometown, it is a quirky, modern version of the tale of Cupid and Psyche. This mood-boosting audio novel is brought to you in short episodes, with recaps to help you keep track of the plot.

Sharon Glassman will be performing songs from the audiobook with her duo, The Jamesons, at Snowy Peaks Winery on Friday. The Jamesons Duo is an acoustic Americana band with a sunny bluegrass twist and a really fun Kentucky-meets-NYC vibe. They have always been fan favorites in previous shows at the winery. There is no cover charge. The performance is planned for the winery’s back patio, but if the weather turns wet or windy, come listen upstairs with us.

American Legion Post 119 Needs Help With Halloween Haunted House

Fine ladies and gentlemen of Estes Park. I am thrilled (and chilled) to announce that it’s almost time for our second annual Haunted House at the American Legion Post 119. This year we extended our calender to fill every Friday and Saturday in the month of October! For those of you who were able to join us last year, you know how much work, creativity, passion, and absolute fright that we put into our wonderful project. Already our designs and creepy characters are rapidly and enthusiastically coming together. In fact, I just returned from Los Angeles from a horror convention to brush up on the latest scares, makeup, and monster acting classes. For those who may be interested in becoming a scare actor, I will

be approaching this as an acting 101/improv course and you will have fun. We are also in need of background team members to help with hidden rigs and scares. Each night is like a tiny little play with phenomenal, Hollywood quality sets. We will have four weekends to fill in October so we have plenty of room for folks to play and scare the bejeebies out of people.

Our enire staff, which includes designers, construction workers, costume design and creations, scare actors, food, and, most importantly, advertising is 100% volunteered and donated. We are a group of folks with a passion for aiding our American veterans and our Legion that is always home and open to the community. In order for us to bring a project that is great up to one that is astounding we are reaching out to our beloved community for financial aid to help our cause. Any donation is appreciated and a Go Fund Me link is being set up for anyone who is willing to help with our budget. Contact Justice at warrenjustice@yahoo.com for information about the Go Fund Me link.

As an entertaining and creative incentive we are also selling tombstones! There are different price levels and stone sizes.

We provide the headstone and you provide your imagination and art. This is really a fantastic way for businesses to advertise and donate. Each donation made will get a form for a tax write off.

Call 970-586-6118 for more information or to sign up to help out!

The Ladies Auxiliary of the American Legion and our veterans thank you kindly.

Guatemala Charity Golf Tournament Summit Church and Food for the Hungry have partnered together and are seeking sponsors and players to participate in its Charity Golf Scramble on Saturday, September 16, 2017. The tournament will be held at the 9 Hole Golf Course, 690 Big Thompson Avenue, Estes Park, Colorado, with a 10:00 a.m. shotgun start.

Cost per golfer is $50 for individual ($35 for pass holders), $160 for a team, which includes green fees and lunch following the tournament.

Various levels of sponsorship are available for businesses and individuals.

Sponsors also will be acknowledged in the tournament brochure, and thank you letters sent to local news outlets. Those interested in sponsoring or in playing can contact Ron Little (970-370-3448 or 970-586-4792).

This fun event raises funds to support the goal of helping a small, extremely poor community in Santa Cruz, Guatemala. Specifically, the funds raised

will provide support for the “Child-Focused Community Transformation” partnership with Food for the Hungry and Summit Church in Estes Park, Colorado.

This will help reach a goal of $10,000 to complete the following projects February 23 - March 3, 2018: health education, agricultural experience planting a garden, a Bible story program for the children of the community, and construction of an education classroom in Guatemala.

Tournament will include lunch sponsored by Brownfields, prizes and a silent auction.

Golf carts can be rented from the pro shop. The format is a four person 9-hole scramble in which you can sign up as a single, with one or more players, or as a team of four.

Some of the Silent Auction prizes consist of four hours of a guided tour for two with the Estes Park Guide Mike Caldwell, several condos for two nights, tickets to the Bronco-Raider game, October 1 and much more! Should be a great day but we need your help!

Additional Glass Recycling Bin Added

Congratulations Estes Park residents!

You’re doing such an outstanding job of recycling glass that we needed an additional container.

Clear Intentions has picked up 15,820 lbs of glass since we started the project in Nov 2016.

Unlike glass put into the single stream bins at the transfer station none of this glass ends up in the landfill. 100% of the glass collect at the Fairgrounds is recycled into new glass or used by artists, and all of the glass stays in Colorado.

Friday, September 1, 2017

Real Estate Sales V Property Management V Vacation Accommodations

We are extremely proud to be one of Clear Intentions highest volume collection sites.

Our free residential bins are made possible by the businesses here in Estes Park that participate in Clear Intentions Valet services. A big thank you goes out to Snowy Peaks Winery, The Other Side Restaurant, The Barrel, and Elkins Distillery.

We appreciate their commitment to recycling.

We are also thankful to the town of Estes Park for allowing the bins to be located at the Event Center parking lot on Rooftop Way, a convenience for us all.

If the two bins are full please do not leave glass outside of the containers, as it will attract bears. Rising out your empty glass bottles will also help keep the bears away.

Good job residents of Estes Park!

Many thanks for your continued efforts in keeping Estes Park green.

Genealogical Society Meeting Sept. 14 The Estes Park Genealogical Society will meet on Thursday, September 14 at 4:00 p.m. in the upstairs Wasson Room of the Estes Valley Library. Carol Stetser of the Larimer County Genealogical Society will present “Maybe They Teleported: Finding Those Elusive Passenger Lists.”

Passenger lists are some of the most sought-after records by genealogists; even non-genealogists are interested in finding out in which ships their ancestors “crossed the pond. ” However, passenger lists can be very difficult to find due to name misspellings, poor handwriting and sloppy indexing.

This presentation gives a brief history of what passenger lists can be found for what eras and details some techniques that help researchers find their ancestors’ passenger lists. It also gives some hints on going “beyond” passenger lists to add context to ancestors’ emigration stories in the form of newspaper articles, pictures and more.

Carol is an avid genealogist whose love for genealogy is a natural outgrowth of

Those who practice yoga will say that it makes them calmer, more relaxed, and able to sleep better. But what is actually happening in the body to give these results?

Yoga includes moving the body in coordination with breathing consciously and focusing the mind. As we practice, we positively influence the endocrine system to release “happy” hormones such as dopamine, endorphins, oxytocin, and serotonin.

Dopamine, associated with the reward system, boosts during a vigorous session of movement that increases cardiorespiratory output. Endorphins are linked to happiness and are known for creating a sense of euphoria. Researchers documented a ‘yoga high’ after participants performed breathing and movement exercises followed by meditation. Oxytocin is a hormone that increases through an act of touch, for example a hug, but was also shown to increase in students who practices in community yoga classes. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that influences mood and behavior. Low levels of serotonin are linked to fatigue, depression, and anxiety. Studies have shown that consistent yoga practice increases serotonin, countering these negative feelings.

In addition, yoga is associated with lowering cortisol, the hormone that is pres-

ent during stress. Cortisol activates the fear center of the brain and shrinks the area of the brain that manages self-control and discipline. In 2005, German researchers found that subjects’ saliva contained less cortisol after one 90- minute session of yoga. In another study in 2013, researchers reported findings to support that yoga may act at the hypothalamus by its ‘antistress’ effects (reducing the cortisol), to bring about relief in depression.

Yoga also changes the brain. Using MRI scans, researchers Chantal Villemure and Catherine Bushnell of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland detected more gray matter—brain cells—in certain areas of the brain in people who regularly practiced yoga, as compared with control subjects. Larger brain volume was seen in the areas of the brain involved in directing attention, processing visual stimuli, dampening stress, and mentally mapping the body. The study individuals practiced physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation, elements typical of most modern yoga.

Estes Park Yoga offers a variety of yoga classes designed for the absolute beginner to the advanced yogi. In addition, a free mindfulness mediation class is offered every Monday night at 7:15 p.m.

Local Artist Displays Drawings Inspired By Yoga

Estes Park artist, Patricia Henriksen Greenberg will be exhibiting her new drawings titled, "Y amas & Niyamas" at the Estes Park Medical Center, 555 Prospect Avenue, September 1st through September 30th. The work will be displayed on the 2nd floor balcony gallery.

Patricia has attended weekly yoga instruction with Peggy Donohue for many years. A sequence of classes based on the guiding ethical and moral principles of yoga practice inspired her to create this series of ten large drawings.

The five Yamas describe one's outward behavior toward others. These include being truthful, doing no harm and not stealing. The five Niyamas are directed inwardly and emphasize selfdiscipline and self-restraint. They include contentment, self-observation and devotion.

Both Yamas and Niyamas have specific physical postures called Asanas. They also have specific hand gestures called Mudras. The Mudras are what captured her imagination and prompted her to

create these pieces. Each drawing becomes a self-portrait because the hands depicted in each are her own.

As she began to research and think about these pieces many additional ideas came to mind. She became interested in the mµnes themselves and therefore included the beautiful Sanskrit calligraphy for each principle. Patricia realized that the Y amas and Niyamas are very similar to "The Golden Rule," i.e. "Do Unto Others as You Would Have Them Do Unto You." This led her to think about the spiritual practices of people around the world. She has identified a representative wording of The Golden Rule for ten of the world's religions. She used symbols which she thought appropriate for each of them.

Each drawing also includes elements of nature. An animal, a sky creature, a water creature, a snake or reptile, a flower and a tree are all represented in each piece; most are real, some may be mythological.

In addition, each drawing has been assigned a spiritual Number and Geometric shape. There is a specific color scheme for each work of art. And finally, Patricia represented the seven energy centers of our bodies, called Chakras, in a vertical design on each drawing.

When the actual drawing process was complete, she embellished every one with ribbons, beads and decorative papers. After two years dedicated to this project, she hopes to have created a serene visual and spiritual experience for all. Stop in and see this exhibit.

Are You A “Hardworking” Investor?

This weekend, we observe Labor Day, a celebration of the American worker. You work hard your whole life with the hope that your efforts will ultimately allow you to achieve your financial goals, such as a comfortable retirement. But for that to happen, you may need to apply some of the lessons of the workplace to your efforts as an investor.

So, what are these lessons? Here are a few to consider: • Be consistent. The most successful workers are the ones who show up, day after day, and strive to overcome the inevitable obstacles that crop up. As an investor, you, too, need to be consistent in your habits – which means you should keep investing in all types of markets. If you take a “time out” every time the market drops, you might end up missing opportunities when the next rally begins.

• Be flexible. When good workers see that something is not going well, they change what they’re doing. And when you invest, you also may need to make adjustments. If an investment has consistently underperformed, or if you have too many others very similar to it, or if it just doesn’t meet your needs anymore, you may be better off by selling it and using the proceeds to invest elsewhere.

This doesn’t mean you should constantly be buying and selling — in fact, you’ll likely be better off by purchasing quality investments and holding them for the long term. But you need to be flexible enough to make the appropriate moves at the appropriate times.

• Be informed. The best workers are those who regularly update their skills and acquire knowledge that helps them

do their jobs better. As an investor, you should also keep learning – about the investment world in general and about new opportunities for you to explore.

And you should always understand what you are investing in – and why. Even if you work with a financial professional, you need to inform yourself about every aspect of your investment portfolio – after all, it’s your money and your future.

• Be farsighted. Good workers not only know what they’re doing – they also can visualize the desired outcome of each task. And, of course, people who are in charge of a particular endeavor, or who are responsible for the fortunes of a business, have a clear view of what they want to accomplish, even if the achievement of that goal is many years in the future.

When you invest, you also need to see where you want to go. If you can constantly keep in mind your long-term goals – such as the type of retirement lifestyle you desire – you will likely find it easier to stick with an investment strategy that’s appropriate for your needs and risk tolerance. Conversely, if you lose sight of your destination, you might be more prone to taking short-term detours, which could work against you.

Labor Day reminds us to appreciate the skills and dedication of all workers – and as an investor, you can put these same attributes to good use.

United Behind Those Funny Eclipse Glasses By: Kurtis Kelly, Communications Specialist It’s hard to believe. Only eleven days ago, we were transfixed by a coast-tocoast solar eclipse phenomenon. Since then, we’ve all been following news of catastrophic Hurricane Harvey. Our hearts and thoughts are with all those affected—many lives, many livelihoods, and many libraries.

For now, however, we’ll time travel back to that much happier late-summer natural event.

Monday, August 21 began with lots of sunshine. And lots of anticipation. Our library, like some others in the region, had incorporated solar eclipse activities into our program plans long before we knew the full magnitude of the national and regional excitement that would build around this event.

Back in June, we anticipated we would have an abundance of solar eclipse

glasses to give away. By early August, we watched as demand quickly began to exceed supply. For a few days we tried a ticketing system, reserving glasses to try

and honor the many requests. There were some hiccups in our system, and we’d have done some things differently in retrospect. But in the end, and with the partnership of the Estes Park Memorial Observatory, we came upon a system that worked quite well: on-site sharing of glasses.

As that sunny morning began, at both sites—the Library and Observatory—we didn’t quite know how many people to expect. Dozens? Hundreds? In the end, well over 800 people gathered at both locations. And a joy it was to share this special lifetime event with friends, family, neighbors, and brand-new friends.

Once attendees understood the limited availability of glasses—and that “sharing was caring”—we found attendees were happy to watch a bit of the eclipse, then circulate glasses among friends. After all, even the most ardent stargazers knew to watch a while, then give those eyeballs a rest.

Sun tea and cookies added to the festivities at the Library. And Observatory watchers took turns at filtered telescopes that offered views of sunspots and solar flares.

And despite late-morning clouds that billowed up, observers saw several great moments of the sun-rimmed moon within the captivating moments of near totality.

It was an extraordinary phenomenon that brought us together locally and from coast to coast. Those solar glasses served us well. But now, is there anything to do with all the leftovers?

The answer, happily, is ‘yes’. The Library is serving as a Designated Drop-Off Site to collect eclipse glasses for donation to Astronomers Without Borders. That organization will send the glasses to South America and South Asia for school students to safely view eclipses in 2019.

Bring your leftover glasses to the Library

by September 11.

Looking back, Solar Eclipse Day was a delightful day made brighter as celebrated through community.

Radon Awareness Program Radon is a naturally occurring, odorless, invisible, tasteless gas that is dispersed in outdoor air, but which can reach harmful levels when trapped in buildings.

Radon comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. The

risk of developing lung cancer comes from breathing radon gas that seeps undetected into your home from the soil through foundation cracks, dirt floors, loose fitting pipes, slab joints or block walls.

Every house is different.

Only individual testing can determine if your home may have a radon problem. Measuring radon levels in your home is simple and inexpensive. Plan to attend the radon awareness program on September 12, 2017, at the Estes Valley Library, Wasson Room, from noon to 1:00 p. m. to learn more about radon and receive a shortterm radon test kit to test your home.

Community Bible Study Classes Starting Up Class. “One of the joys of the Day Class is seeing all the children who eagerly come to 'their Bible study'. And that's what we desire for every person involved. Come to 'your Bible study.' Corinthians is a perfect book for the times as we learn individual accountability within the body of Christ - or, in easier terms, how can I get along with all these crazy people without losing my faith. The answer is simple; be

“We’ve been given the mind of Christ and God expects us to use it, ” says Robbi Telfer as she discusses the upcoming start of classes for Community Bible Study in Estes Park. CBS will be studying 1st and 2nd Corinthians this year.

“These are the letters of Paul to the people of Corinth, ” says Telfer, Teaching Director of the CBS Evening Class. “The similarities between pre-Christian Corinth and the world today are striking.

Paul has really given us a key as to how we’re going to live in this world and that is to think with the mind of Christ. It’s kind of a ‘what would Jesus do’ situation.

How would He have responded? It’s a course that has good application for our lives. It gives us a new way of coming at something, a new perspective on how to respond. ” The Evening Class is coed and meets

from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. every Monday evening starting September 11th at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church, 950 N St. Vrain Ave. Hearty snacks will be available so people can come straight from work and not starve. New this year is a Remote Core Group at Good Samaritan Village.

It will give residents there a chance to attend a bible study and they will have earphones for those who are hard of hearing. The Day Class, for women and children, meets from 9:15 a. m. to 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday mornings starting September 12th 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

like Jesus.

The working out is hard and that's why we will be following Paul's guideline to the Corinthians. ” The registration fee is $35, but class coordinator Linda Wold quickly adds, “We don’t want anybody to be deprived of studying God’s word because of money. We do have a generous scholarship program. If you can’t afford that $35, still come. It’s not a problem. ” CBS is a nondenominational study of God’s word that began in 1975. CBS came to Estes Park in 1992. It’s 25-years old this year. “It’s a global movement, ” says Associate Evening Teaching Director Jan Evans. “While we’ve seen steady growth in the U. S., we’ve seen amazing growth outside of the U. S.” He says the worldwide adult attendance is over 365,000 people with another 129,000 students, youth, and children studying the bible. “It’s just an amazing movement that God is using to teach his word around the world. ” Class members come, spend about ten minutes in an opening session, then

break into small core groups of men and women (separately) to answer and discuss their home study questions, then gather back together again for a teaching.

“Our ultimate goal is transformed lives through the study of God’s word, ” says Evans. “As a nondenominational study, we focus on what unites believers in Christ, not on denominational differences. We also avoid discussing divisive issues such as politics, outside books, movies, and personalities. ” Telfer says, “You have the opportunity to sit down with God’s word and really listen to what he’s saying to you. And if you think you don’t know how to do that, then coming to CBS is very helpful.

There are questions you can study. You look and see what the bible passage says, and then you talk about how that impacted the people back then and how it

impacts your life now. ” “All of our studies of God’s words are solid truths,” adds Senior Leader Linda Hardgrove. “They’re very practical for everyday living and we have a lot of fun.”

The CBS leaders stress you’re welcome at any time. If you can’t make it to the first day of classes go ahead and come later. And you don’t have to be a bible scholar to enjoy it. They say even if you’ve never cracked open that old family bible lying around the house, get it and come anyway. You’ll find answers to a lot of life’s problems.

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.

Ken received his Bachelor’s Degree from Nebraska Wesleyan University and a Master’s Degree in Social Administration from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH. On August 21, 1965 he married Audrey (Hietbrink) in Holland, NE.

on many committees and the Church Session. He was also active in the Rotary Club of Estes Park.

He was a Hikemaster at the YMCA of the Rockies, a member of the Estes Park Medical Center Foundation Board, and a volunteer at Rocky Mountain National Park. He is survived by his wife, Audrey, of Estes Park and two sons, David, and Michael (Mary Beth), and his beloved grandchildren MacGregor, Quinlan, and Nicholas (Cole) whom he adored.

Paul Treakle, 74, inventor, explorer, artist, poet, author, entrepreneur, magician, and businessman, of Drake, passed away on August 22, 2017, into his next great adventure.

He was a man who could climb a tree faster than most young people, hold a thoughtful conversation about anything from science to philosophy and spiritual matters, and was always there to offer a helpful hand to all. Even in retirement, he continued to work for the parks, create new inventions, travel the world, chase treasure, and make friends with

all he came across.

Paul is survived by his daughters, Carol Treakle and Angel (Samuel) Young; Brother, Tom Treakle; grandchildren, Joshua Bresette, Sarah (Jason) Kunkle, Aubrey (James) Schrader, Dustin and Amanda Tippit, Nicholas Young; and a large loving extended family.
