Are you interested in or do you have employees interested in shared Vanpooling service from the Loveland / Fort Collins area to Estes Park and back during the Highway 34 shut down?

VanGo now has permission to proceed through Highway 34 during construction.

A meeting about this will be held next Monday, Sept. 19, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. at the YMCA of the Rockies Ponder Chapel located within the Legett Christian Center on Longhouse Way. What is a Vanpool? Vanpools consist

of individuals who usually live near each other, travel to adjacent employment centers, and have similar work hours. The participants pay a monthly fare to share the operation, fuel, maintenance, and in-

surance costs of daily commuting.

Members of the group volunteer to drive. The drivers take the vehicle home at the end of the work day and may use the van for limited personal use.

If you are unable to attend this meeting, for more information, contact Shane Armstrong, VanGo Coordinator at 970-221-6859 or sarmstrong@nfrmpo.org. The website www.smarttrips.org includes a commuting cost calculator that can be used to help you estimate how many hundreds of dollars a month you would save as a VanGo participant.

There was a popular song about 30 or 40 years ago – or was it 50 or 60 (giving away your writer’s age and antiquity) – whose words in one verse went something like the following: “The Lord above made liquor for temptation To see if man could turn away from sin, But with a little bit of luck, just a bit of bloomin’ luck When temptation comes you’ll give right in.”

You remembered it? Well, welcome to the old timers club. You don’t remember it?

Well, then you can’t tell me what was the name of the musical in which it appeared.

(But, come to think of it, not all songs come from musicals, so . . . .)

Now, what was this column supposed to be all about? Oh yeh! Yours Truly does remember that. It’s time for our quadrennial circus known as the Presidential Election.

And we’ll even capitalize it because of its supposed importance. Now all we need are some presidential(like) candidates.

A woman President? Why not? Why has it taken so long? Can anyone honestly say that over the centuries men have proven smarter than women? Any male making such claim is probably living evidence that the answer is “no.” Evidence? Think of what women have contributed in painting, in literature, in countless arts. So why not in politics? Well, in a few countries some already have. Without checking it out Yours Truly suggests you look up the names of current national presidents in, for example, Latin American countries.

Yeh! And now we have one candidate who already knows what it’s like to live in our White House. That’s where her partner was – as President!!!

How many past Presidents of these United States can you name? Betcha you can name George, Abe, and several others.

Speaking (or writing) only for myself, it would take a while to recall the names and order of even the most recent half dozen.

Maybe that’s just a sign that the years are taking their toll. But there’s a woman “running” now. Oh, I probably won’t vote for her, and I won’t vote for Mister Trump either, although he was appealing until he started campaigning – or was that just talking. Neither has anything in her or his record to justify my support. Listening to them on TV doesn’t gain them any points here. Hmmm, and I haven’t yet made an effort to get the names of so-called “third party” candidates. Can’t think of one of the latter I ever voted for at the national level.

But, you’re probably thinking, that’s just throwing your vote away.

On the other hand I don’t think of it that

way. EVERY vote sends a message. And those in the political biz know that. They know that in a nation, and with a population as large as ours, you can’t in person be everywhere. But we have TV to compensate. Granted that you can’t shake hands with a voter over the television – but you can reach her or him. (Unless like some of us they turn you off in favor of a baseball or football game!!!)

Is there a dearth of columns in print about the major candidates? Or is it really that I just don’t bother to do more than skim them – the columns, not the candidates – and thus forget who they were promoting.. That’s not meant as a criticism.

Maybe Yours Truly is just bored reading all the palaver. (Now there’s a good word to add to your “never use” vocabulary,) And this year’s campaign did get off to a very early start. Then candidate faces and voices show up on TV as their “handlers” try to get them the necessary publicity that hopefully will in November turn into votes. Want publicity? Television is a grrreat medium for getting it . .. even if it misses the 150 folks sitting at a high school football game or watching other TV programming.

Let’s not overlook third party candidates, even though our system militates against their getting much of the publicity accorded Democrat and Republican office seekers. Maybe that’s a good thing, at least in the sense that faces and voices of mere publicity seekers and extremists are less likely to fill up our TV screens. Yet, in a nation as large as ours there must be – and ARE -- many excellent “would-be national” public servants who, because of their talents, DO even now contribute at local, county, and state levels as office holders and volunteers.. Yours Truly would bet that the majority of them would shake their heads if asked would they be interested in running for national office. Discouraging some who might be interested is the hard fact that running for public office can be a very expensive matter.

But there are those who do run for public office, and fortunately or otherwise they sometimes do get elected . .. and that often means leaving family behind and going to serve in far off places like Washington, D.C.! Now here’s one who did at least get into print when questioned while campaigning. Asked about his background he responded: “I don’t know who my grandfather was. I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be. ” Recognize the statement? Or guess at the speaker? None other than . .. Abraham Lincoln.

Help The Elk Stay Untangled By: Kris Hazelton

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

Last year, a large bull got his antlers caught in a “sky chair” (a type of hanging chair with ropes and canvas). The chair was hanging outside and while the homeowner was away, a bull happened by and tried to spar with the chair. Imagine the shock when the homeowner came home to find the bull trapped in their chair. The homeowner quickly called Colorado Parks and Wildlife to get help but by the time a CPW officer was able to respond, the elk had struggled in this entrapment for so long he had fractured his skull and he died of his injuries.

Tragic.

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 Article and all photographs

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 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 animals shown on this page.

According to Rick Spowart, CPW Wildlife Manager, he has had to drug immobilize several elk already this season who have gotten tangled in a fence and a tomato cage.

Rick said, “This is totally preventable, just take a walk around your home and yard and look to see what an animal might get caught up with.” Rick has seen more than his share of elk

Stow away your hammocks, volleyball nets, tomato cages

ESTESPARKNEWS.COM

entanglements, some animals he is able to save 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 with which we share our beautiful mountain community.

Also, the CPW wants to remind everyone to enjoy watching the elk, but please do so at a safe and respectable distance to the animals. Please remember to be careful around the bull elk this fall,

they can be very unpredictable as they are more concerned with each other than they are with humans or automobiles.

Give Blood-It’s Safe, It’s Simple, It Saves Lives By: Kerrie Hill, EPMC A single donation of blood from you can help one or more patients. This is possible because whole blood is made up of several useful components. These components perform special functions in your body and in the body of patients who receive your blood. The various blood components are Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Plasma and selected Plasma Proteins. Red, plasma and platelets can potentially be separated from your donated volume of blood and transfused into a specific patient requiring that particular component.

Blood is needed every minute: • To replace blood lost because of accidents or diseases • To treat shock due to injury • For major and minor surgeries including open heart surgeries, transplants, etc.

• For burn victims • For patient suffering with anemia • During child birth for the mother • For exchange transfusion for new born infants.

• To make blood derivatives which are used to treat medical problems Why is so important to donate blood?

For donors it is a few moments of your day, but for patients in need, it may save their life. Donations are also the only way of obtaining blood. Each donation from a donor may help up to three people. Because each blood donation provides three different blood components, each has its own role in helping patients. The need for blood is constant and transfusions of blood and blood components are an essential part of healthcare today.

Sooner or later, virtually all of us face a time of when blood is needed. Too often that time is often unexpected. Estes Park Medical Center is pleased to partner with Garth Englund Blood Center in facilitating the gift of blood donation on September 26, 2016 from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Estes Park Medical Center – Longs and Meeker Conference Rooms.

The general guidelines for donating

blood are as follows: • Individuals must be healthy and be at least 17 years old • New donors must weigh at least 120 pounds and be in good health. Prior donors must weigh at least 110 pounds.

• Individuals must not have donated blood in the last eight weeks (56 days) or a donation of double red cells in the last 16 weeks (111 days) • Healthy means that you feel well and can perform normal activities • If you have a chronic condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure, "healthy" also means that you are being treated and the condition is under control.

Other aspects of each potential donor's health history are discussed as part of the donation process before any blood is collected.

Before you donate: • Get a good night’s sleep • Have a good breakfast or lunch • Eat iron rich foods – red meat, fish, poultry, beans, iron fortified cereals, raisins, etc.

• Avoid fatty food before donating – tests for infections done on all donated blood can be affected by fatty materials that can appear in your blood for several hours after eating fatty foods. When this occurs and required testing cannot be performed, the blood may need to be discarded.

• Be sure to bring personal identification.

Blood is the part of life that is given to those who need it by those who have the resource to satisfy the need. Emergencies occur every minute. The need for blood donations is great, but the rewards are many. Your blood donation may be even more special than you realize! For more information, call 577-4390.

Attention Home Schooling Families The League of Women Voters of Estes Park is hosting a Junior Election this Fall to allow younger residents a chance to voice their opinions on who should run our county, state, and country.

Larimer County Commissioners Approve Larimer SCFD Placement On November Ballot On September 6, the Larimer County Commissioners passed a resolution to place the Larimer SCFD question to the voters on the November ballot.

The Larimer SCFD will provide increased access and enhance the quality of programs in Natural History, Natural Sciences, Visual Arts, Performing Arts and Cultural History. Once approved by voters, the Larimer SCFD will create a 6.7 million dollar revenue stream for eligible non-profits to increase Science, Arts, Nature and Culture programming in our county and make it more accessible to everyone with projected “roll over dollars� or an economic impact of over 70 million-annually. Providing a further economic benefit for Larimer County, the SCFD will create in excess of 600 jobs throughout the county.

Over 25 years ago, the Denver SCFD was accomplished through a legislative solution with unanimous bipartisan support in both the House and Senate. The initiative has been wildly successful and proved to be immensely beneficial to the region’s residents and visitors. According to the organization, Americans for the Arts, the Denver SCFD has been so suc-

EPNEWS.COM “Dare to be bare.”

This could be the motto for the growing bicycling movement taking hold in Estes Park.

Our motivated bicyclists could embrace the World Naked Bike Ride campaign that is sweeping the country and in turn, attract even more tourists to join the four million+ who are making a parking lot of the Beaver Meadows entrance station.

The entire staff of Visit Estes Park could retire because we wouldn’t need them to promote our fair town any longer. Word would spread like wildfire that Estes Park is a bareas-you-dare community. We could invite visitors to participate: “Altogether, come see all of us,” our billboards could say.

Of course, our happy bicyclists (happy because they are saving the earth by burning calories as they pedal rather than burning oil behind the wheel) would need to strip down to the bare minimum to be authentic. But that’s the whole idea—take it off and take off!

It would be the most exhilarating experience—for cyclists and spectators alike—since the bike riders removed their training wheels!

The first World Naked Bike Ride, an annual, one-day event, was held in Spain in 2004 and by 2010, there were rides held in 74 cities in 17 countries. The ride is not designed to promote social nudity as much as cycling. But the nudity doesn’t hurt. (Ride organizers say that riding in the buff is not a pain in the a**.

So in all manners of speaking, riding in the raw doesn’t hurt. And Estes Park could actually benefit from the exposure.) The goal of the WNBR organization is to “highlight the beauty, power and individuality of the naked human body with an aim of promoting bodypositive values, self-awareness, simple healthy

Page 9

living and independence from consumerist, toxic, oildependent and car culture paradigms that are killing us.”

Now that’s a mission statement that will knock your socks off (and a whole lot more)!

During organized rides, clothing is optional; some riders wear masks to hide their identity while others wear skivvies (to hide their identity?), and still others are in their birthday suits. Three thousand riders showed up for the eighth annual, 12-mile nude ride in Philadelphia recently. Some sprayed or splashed on body paint while others invited artists to make a canvas of their bare figures.

Even in Colorado (in Boulder, of course, and Denver) people have been divesting themselves of their clothes and pushing their pedals au naturel. Estes Park is a little behind.

But we can catch up. Although the organized World Naked Bike Rides are held in the summer months, our ride and accompanying events would need to be held in the three summer weeks we have in Estes Park.

Can’t you see it? A parade squeezed in between the rodeo parade in July and the Scottish/Irish parade in September. A bare-back bike race, a nudes-only plein air art exhibit, a running of the bares fundraiser. It would bring a whole new meaning to the “bears” that bring notoriety to Estes Park. No buts about it.

Upper Thompson Sanitation Board Delivers Value To The District By: Chris Bieker, District Manager One of the highlights of my work as I begin my 30th year as an employee of Upper Thompson Sanitation District (UTSD) is collaborating with the board of directors. The board members are fully vested in the success of the District, work as a team, and responsibly lead the District as we provide wastewater collection and treatment service to the Estes Valley. The board is tasked with governance and has the authority to manage, control, and supervise all business affairs of the District. The board also provides immense value and support to me.

The board has certain duties that no one else in the District can perform and

are called upon to be responsible longterm visionaries. The board establishes the structure, sets the direction, and strategically plans for the future of the District. The board members hold the District accountable on behalf of the community and demand a high standard of wastewater collection and treatment service. Additionally, the board members must work alongside their neighbors, community leaders, and other boards to meet common community goals.

The District’s board of directors consists of five members. These individuals bring a respect for diversity of perspectives and styles. Current board members are:

Chairman, Jack Reed, was first appointed to the board to fill a vacancy in August 2007, and served until the board election in May 2008. He was again appointed to fill a vacancy on the board in September 2010 and has served continuously on the board since that time. Jack was elected Board Chairman in October 2015. Jack has a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering and a 36-year electric utility background, retiring in 2000 as Vice President of Operations from FirstEnergy’s Pennsylvania Power operating company. He and wife, Jacquelyn, moved to Estes Park in 2003. “Although my background was primarily in the electric utility field, all public service utilities share the same challenges,” Jack noted, “and I enjoy working with the other board members to arrive at economic solutions to the challenges we face.” For

UTSD, these challenges include: • Operating and maintaining an expensive, complex, and continuously aging plant and collection system infrastructure; • Planning for additions and modifications to that infrastructure to be in a position to both serve a growing full and part-time customer base, and meet the requirements of an ever changing regulatory environment in the most economically feasible manner; • Establishing a long-term financial plan to fund timely implementation of plant and collection system infrastructure additions and modifications, while providing safe, reliable customer service at the lowest possible cost; • Hiring, developing, and retaining a highly competent staff/workforce, and providing that workforce with the training, tools, and support they need to accomplish the required work. UTSD’s staff offers efficient, cost effective wastewater collection and treatment service to the Estes Valley.

Secretary, Ron Duell Sr., brings a wealth of experience and valuable historical insight to the board, having worked for UTSD for 23 years beginning in 1979. Ron started his career at the District as the Lines Superintendent and was promoted to District Manager in 1989. Ron retired from UTSD in 2002 and began his service on the board in 2010. Ron has been committed for over 29 years to the District and the Estes Valley.

Treasurer, Chris Eshelman, was elected to the board in 2008 and has served three terms. Chris is a long-time Estes Park resident and a graduate of Estes Park High School. He owned and operated a successful excavating business for 17 years, and is now the Water Plant Supervisor for the Town of Estes Park in charge of operations of the Town’s two water treatment plants. “As a board member, I would like to see one new sanitation entity formed from the two districts that exist today. Combining the Districts provides value to the Estes Valley as both sanitation districts are faced with the challenge of maintaining aging infrastructure and increasing regulations.”

Chris stated, “Delaying consolidation results in increased debt and duplication of projects if we continue to operate as two independent Districts.”

Upper Thompson Sanitation Board Delivers Value To The District Director, Kent Bosch, holds a Bachelor of Science degree in History and Education and a Juris Doctor degree.

Kent’s professional career was with the FBI serving as a special agent, legal advisor, technical advisor, and fitness advisor. He moved to Estes Park in 2003 and has served on the board of directors since 2012. In addition to his board responsibilities, Kent also serves on the board of directors of the Special District Association of Colorado, allowing the District to stay informed of current impacts of both state and national policies.

Director, Mike Kearney, was raised in Estes Park and graduated from Estes Park High School. He has successfully owned and operated an excavating company in Estes Park for 29 years. In 2008 Mike was elected to the board and served until 2011. He was reappointed to the board in October 2015. Always a generous community member, Mike provided notable excavating services and support of the Estes Valley community in the aftermath of the 2013 flood.

The job of the board is to formulate and adopt District policy, set the direction of the District, make decisions, establish strategic goals and objectives, and be an advocate for the District. As it leads, the board seeks my recommendations and allows the staff and me to play an active role in moving the District forward. It is my job to maintain and advance the operations of the District and implement those policies, strategies, and directives that are approved by the board of directors. A diagram of District leadership would closely resemble the hourglass shape. The top of the hourglass is the board of directors who set forth the course of action for the District. The task of implementing the action plan is funneled to the district manager – the middle of the hour glass. The district manager then executes the policies of the board and plans the short, medium, and long term work program for the staff. The foundation of the hourglass is a competent staff who carry out the work program, and operate and maintain the facilities and infrastructure. I am proud to say the aforementioned group effort works well at UTSD. It is important that our community knows who is serving the District in a

governance role because the directors are both residents and leaders in the community. They provide local control and are truly voices for and of the constituents of the District. The board is an internal organizational entity which operates on a platform of trust, honesty, and transparency. The directors lead fairly and work to be proactive, rather than reactive, and focus on solutions.

They treat everyone with dignity and respect, and welcome all community members to board meetings. This board demonstrates creative thinking and foresight in planning to meet future wastewater sanitation needs of the Estes Valley. Estes Park is fortunate to have an effective board of directors leading the District.

At Upper Thompson Sanitation District our goal is to nurture a culture of participation and continuing education.

We encourage the community to attend our board meetings, tour the facilities, and familiarize themselves with this integral local asset. Board meetings are held the third Tuesday of every month at 4:00 p.m. Please join us! The board convenes at the administration office located at 2196 Mall Road in Estes Park.

Don’t Miss Chain Station At The Fine Arts Guild Of The Rockies’ “FarewellTo-Summer” On September 17th

The Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies' summer grand finale in Performance Park on September 17th features the ever popular rockin' Chain Station. Chain Station is a four-piece, high-energy, get 'em out on the dance floor string-band from the Front Range of Colorado's Rocky Mountains. Members include Alex Thoele on guitar, James Weatherly on banjo, Jarett Mason on mandolin and Jon Pickett wielding bass.

Frequently seen at local and regional festivals and events such as Pumpkins and Pilsners and the Estes Valley Library's Centennial Celebration and in other familiar hangouts such as the Rock Inn and Oskar Blues, Chain Station always draws a great crowd.

Denver's Marquee Magazine writes about Chain Station's album Dancin’ With The Law.

“Dancin’ With The Law is a big leap forward for the group, and the recording fits alongside albums by some of Colorado’s other, more established modern bluegrass bands. While the group isn’t all button-down traditional (they still know how to have fun); their tight picking, great harmonies and solid songwriting make the band, and for that matter the album, appear to be much more mature and developed than many acts twice their age.”

The Fine Arts Guild invites residents and visitors to Performance Park to enjoy the talented, beloved Chain Station on September 17th at 7 p.m. Performance Park is located at 417 W. Elkhorn in Estes Park. The concert is free. Donations for EPHS music scholarships are gratefully accepted.

Recipients of the 2015 Business Philanthropists of the Year Award were Kris and Gary Hazelton, owners of Estes Park News along with former Mayor Bill Pinkham and Chuck Levine.

Photo by Marsha Hobert

The businesses in the Estes Valley are amazing in the many ways they give back to the community. Donations of goods and services, employee volunteerism, sharing of time and talent all go a long way in supporting many worthy causes locally. We need your help in recognizing these outstanding businesses. Please consider nominating a deserving business for the “Business Philanthropist of the Year” Award to be presented at the National Philanthropy Day in Estes Park celebration on Thursday, November 10. This fun, inspiring event takes place at the YMCA of the Rockies from 4 – 7 pm. To nominate, please visit www.epnonprofit.org.

A big part of the evening is to recognize those who have made an impact during the past year. A business’s expression of philanthropy can come in many forms – donating prizes for the Duck Race, coordinating a businesswide employee community service project, providing goods and services for silent auctions, sharing and donating professional expertise, etc. Last year’s award recipients were an inspiration to us all. Previous recipients include Amy Hamrick, Kind Coffee; Rob & Julie Pieper, Mama Rose’s and Poppy’s; Rocky Mountain Park Inn and Safeway. This week we will highlight the 2015 nominees and recipient of the Business Philanthropist of the Year Award.

Marsha and Ken Hobert, Owners Hobert Office Services Marsha organized the Mountain Rivers Jubilee that helped raise $51,000 for Glen Haven after the flood, and she has continued to raise money for Glen Haven’s recovery efforts and Mountain Strong for Nonprofits. Hobert Office Supply happily donates design and printing to multiple nonprofits, and continues to inspire with their many acts of kindness.

Eddie Martinez, Store Manager Safeway of Estes Park

Through the year, Safeway donates much-needed food to Crossroads, the Allenspark food pantry, and Ravencrest Chalet. In 2015, Safeway made a donation of 645 pounds to the Larimer County food bank. They happily allow students to sell cookies and solicit donations at the store, and are generous with poster space for community events.

Paula Steige, Owner - Macdonald Book Shop Paula offers countless services to the whole community.

She holds events celebrating local authors, sells tickets to community events, chooses superb selections for our pleasure and intellectual growth, and provides a charming center that enhances the work of the Library and other gathering places. Paula doesn’t work directly for any one nonprofit. She has quietly supported us all for decades.

Recipients of the 2015 Business Philanthropists of the Year Award were Kris and Gary Hazelton, Owners – Estes Park News. If there’s any event that needs a volunteer, you see a Hazelton. If there is an organization that needs support, an event needing publicity, it’s in the Estes Park News. Kris and Gary lead by example. They show us how to make time to participate, and they make everything fun. They inspire us to get out and get involved.

This year’s awards will honor outstanding community philanthropists in the following four categories: Individual Philanthropist of the Year, Youth Philanthropist of the Year, Business Philanthropist of the Year, Enduring Service Award (philanthropy over time.) More information and nomination forms may be found at www.epnonprofit.org. Award nomination deadline is Friday, September 30.

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.

The New Faith And Reason Roundtable Begins Monthly Meetings On Wednesday September 21st at 9:30 a.m., in the Senior Center of Estes Park, the New Faith and Reason Roundtable will begin its’ monthly meetings. Previously the Religion and Philosophy Group, a separate group, met like this and established a 20 plus year tradition of lively discourse. A new group has started up with similar aims. A previous posting mistakenly said they are starting up again, with our new name. We apologize for the mistake. The New Faith and Reason Roundtable begins on its’ own.

Please feel invited to join us as we meet the third Wednesday of each month to discuss a variety of chosen topics, to view videos, or to consider prescribed readings on a variety of philosophical, religious, spiritual, environmental, or ethical and social subjects.

Topics are chosen by various participants and visiting guests and will be announced monthly in local newspapers and group emails where the topic is described and sometimes preliminary readings are suggested and attached, or available for review prior to the meetings.

Please join us and enjoy lively consideration of these “hot topics.

The Senior Center of Estes Park is located at 220 4th Street (next to the Museum). Free coffee and tea are available.

The Senior Center offers a delicious lunch and welcomes attendees to partake.

For further information please contact James Poppitz at 970-586-7704 or jgpbuilds@yahoo.com.

New Faith & Reason Roundtable First Meeting Topic “The Spiritual But Not Religious Movement” Please join us as we consider the topic “The Spiritual but not Religious Movement” and dig into this provocative subject. Two short articles are suggested.

One, defining the phenomena and, one, criticizing it, can help kick off the discussion. They can be easily viewed by typing the following links into your browser: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiritual_b ut_not_religious http://bustedhalo.com/features/spiritual-but-not-religious-not-so-fast/2 If you need assistance, please feel free to contact James Poppitz at by email at jgpbuilds@yahoo.com or 303-324-7235.

Copies of the articles will also be available before, and at the meeting for reading.

What are the real differences and similarities in these somewhat united; however, more often, separate concerns?

Why does religion take so much criticism and spirituality gets off so easy? Do people too easily take the “feel good” way out? Do the orthodoxies and dogmas of the “church” drive us to the “inner” options? Why are church affiliations going down, or changing fast, throughout the world?

The meeting takes place on Wednesday September 21st at 9:30 a.m., in the Senior Center. Help us respectfully consider all sides to this “story of our times.” Engage in lively consideration of these and related issues.

Program On Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

By: Bishop Ken

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, accepted and sought out as a Scientist in his lifetime (in the areas of geology and paleontology) and wrote what would become 20 volumes of articles, abstracts, essays, and books. His legacy also includes nearly 20 volumes of other materials that define his work as a visionary, poet, theologian, philosopher, and

prophet. Today hundreds of people search the later writings for understanding of his material as it affects their daily living.

I am initiating a study of the later articles and essays and am organizing a meeting to discuss them. The cost of $5.00 per session will cover the printed materials from Teilhard's inventory for each meeting. We will study and discuss his insights and therefore, the group will be limited in size. Should several individuals request a "chair," I will organize more than one gathering.

Please call Bishop Ken at 303-815-3219 for a reservation in the study group or to obtain more information about the event. To understand Teilhard, there will be several gatherings.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASSOCIATE WITH EXCELLENCE As I sat in Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix last weekend I scanned a copy of the USA Today newspaper. In the sports section I read an article designed to clarify why the New York Mets had signed Tim Tebow, the former Bronco football player, to a minor league baseball contract.

General Manager Sandy Alderson was asked why he would sign a 29-year-old player who hadn’t played baseball since high school. Alderson explained that they had seen things in Tim that could be developed in their instructional league and minor league system and could possibly result in a stint in the majors.

That, however, was not the only reason he gave for the signing. He stated: “This is our players’ opportunity to associate with excellence.” He explained that Tebow was not signed to sell tickets and increase attendance to minor league games in which he will play or sell sports merchandise. He said that his main reason, besides Tim’s baseball skills, was: “Our 18 and 19 yearold kids who show up in instructional league next week are going to get a chance to associate with one of the greatest athletes of recent years.” He mentioned qualities like faithful fulfilment of commitments and Tim’s personal values and diligent work ethic as qualities that he wanted young players to be exposed to and associate with. The reporter summed up his interview with the GM Alderson in these words: “This is all about having one of America’s beloved role models representing the Mets organization and hoping that his aura can rub off on their prospects.”

I couldn’t help thinking about how this featured person and article contrasted with so much that we have heard recently about people whom we ought to be able to hold up as role models for our people, young and old. I think of Olympic swimmers whose ‘aura we might have wanted to rub off on others’ but, instead, forfeited that by embarrassing themselves, the USA, and Brazil by their out-of-control antics. I think about professional football players who have tainted their ‘aura’ by raising doubts about their loyalty to the United States, and their regard for military men and women and other dedicated public servants. Their endorsing companies and supporters have obviously determined that these have forfeited their right to be seen as those who represent their companies in a positive way and have withdrawn such sponsorships. I remember hearing that often people in the spotlight are, at first, described as ‘he/she will be great’, only to make decisions that cause people to muse ‘he/she could be great’, and end up with the sad pronouncement ‘he/she could have been great.’ I think this will be the verdict of some of those we are seeing right now as they use their ‘time in the sun’ to set a precedent that we do not want our ‘18 and 19 year-olds’, or anyone else, to follow.

However, we must not only focus on those referred to in this article. We each need to ask ourselves, “Is ours an ‘aura we want to rub off on others?’ Are people around us being encouraged to strive for excellent qualities?” Jesus reminded us that we are the ‘light of the world’ and the ‘salt of the earth’. We are here to have an influence. Will that influence tend to lead others in good directions? One writer reminds us that ‘no man is an island’, that we will influence others for good or ill. Which will it be with us? Bob

The Honor Guard of American Legion Post 119 is honoring the lives of our own Estes Valley Veterans and Sons of Veterans, as well as drawing attention to Friday, September 16, 2015, as National POW/MIA Recognition Day. Americans are asked to pause and reflect on the sacrifices made by the military men and women who are imprisoned (POW) or unaccounted for (MIA) as a result of the military service.

American Legion Post 119 is located at 850 N. St Vrain Ave. in Estes Park. Visitors are welcomed and encouraged to experience a table that occupies a place of dignity and honor within our Post. It is set for one, symbolizing the fact that members of our armed forces are missing from our ranks. The table is small, symbolizing the frailty of one prisoner.

It’s covered with a white tablecloth, symbolic of the purity of their intentions to

respond to their country’s call to arms.

The single rose in a vase signifies the blood they may have shed in sacrifice.

The red ribbon represents an unyielding determination for a proper accounting of our comrades who are not among us.

A slice of lemon on the plate reminds us of their bitter fate. The salt on the plate reminds us of the tears shed. The glass is inverted because they cannot toast with us, and the chair is empty because they are not present. The lit candle is the light of hope to bring them home to the open arms of a grateful nation. The American Flag reminds us that many of them may never return and have paid the supreme sacrifice to insure our freedom.

The Honor Guard of American Legion Post 119 implores: “Let us remember and never forget their sacrifice.”

Terry P. Rizzuti, Commander American Legion Post 119

One Big Celebration, One Very Big Birthday By: Sarah Walsh, Estes Valley Library Development Director

It was truly a night to remember.

The Estes Valley Library turns 100 in 2016. While we’ve been celebrating all year, the Centennial Hoedown on August 27 was designed as our grandest event.

And what a treat it was to share the Library’s centennial moment with my daughter. We delighted in seeing local families of all ages coming together to laugh, dance and honor the Library as the heart of our community.

Estes Park Woman’s Club’s past president, Shirley Neely-Turpin, enthusiastically summed up the evening: “The Centennial Hoedown was a wonderful party. The food was fabulous, the drinks divine, the music was marvelous, and the people who put this all together did it perfectly! The Woman’s Club was honored to be recognized at this memorable event.”

The Library’s history is intrinsically woven with our local Woman’s Club, for they were the trailblazers who

founded our first library back in 1916— then operated it into the 1960s.

Also honored for a lifetime of extraordinary public service was Dr. James Pickering, Estes Park’s Historian Laureate. Pickering expressed gratitude for the recognition, while emphasizing that it will be a community-wide spirit of stewardship that will carry our library into its second century of service.

Exemplifying that very spirit are Bob and Ludie Dickeson, whom we thank for their $25,000 challenge grant to plan for our library’s future by building our vital financial endowment.

Our local business community is also an integral part of that spirit. We thank Snowy Peaks Winery, Kind Coffee, the Estes Park News, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Odells, and Colorado Hats for their generous donations to support the Centennial celebration.

A Centennial toast to Chain Station and to James Davis for their festive musical performances at the party. Thank you to the YMCA for the lovely setting, to Marsha Hobert and Estes Park Photo Booth

for memorable photos, to Kerry Aiken and Rocky Mountain Wildflowers for beautiful table decorations, to Smokin’ Daves for the delicious BBQ, to Estes Park Pie Shop and Stephanie Carruthers for the scrumptious desserts. And a resounding thank you to Kirby Hazelton for planning the Library’s “Hoedown of the Century.”

On the cover of the Library’s latest Events Guide is a photo of Pieter Hondius, Jr. from 1922. He was gathering lichen-covered rocks for

the façade of the first library building in Bond Park. Pieter joined his mother, Eleanor E. Hondius, as the Estes Woman’s Club raised $5000 to build and furnish our first library. Just as Pieter was surrounded by the first library lovers of our community, I hope my daughter remembers the importance of the library Centennial celebration. May all of the children of the Estes Valley benefit from the commitment our community makes to value the past and future of our library.

1940s, and its goal is to return the fruits of their labors to areas of need in the greater Allenspark area and beyond.

The group meets weekly throughout the year to learn new skills and create items to be sold. Proceeds go toward scholarships and a list of philanthropic causes.

The group also maintains the site of the historic Allen cabin, the original homestead in Allenspark, as well as the Bunce School. The Bunce School holds a Historic Designation from the State of Colorado and County of Boulder, and is recognized by the National Register. It is one of two rural log schoolhouses remaining in Boulder County and is located near the Kelley House, the location of the Fall Festival.

“This festival truly captures the spirit of our small mountain community,” McDonald said. “It’s also a lovely drive to Allenspark during the fall, when all the leaves are turning. We have a growing moose population, in addition to herds of elk, and we see them often.”

On a recent Sunday afternoon, Estes Valley Legacy inducted 23 founding members to the newly created Fall River Society. The event, an ice cream social hosted by Harmony Foundation, had important implications for the future of nonprofits and their services in Estes Park.

During the induction ceremony, Jerry Kennell, administrator of Estes Valley Legacy, and Jill Lancaster, executive director of Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center, with assistance from Sami Park, grandson of Sally and Wayne Park, presented members with certificates as well as paperweights made of stones from the Fall River, painted by Estes Park Elementary School students. Sami’s participation symbolized the appreciation of a younger generation for the forward thinking philanthropy of Fall River Society members.

Estes Valley Legacy is a collaboration of 15 Estes Valley nonprofit organizations that have pooled resources to educate donors, providing confidential counsel and assistance to encourage legacy giving. Legacy gifts are charitable support given through a donor’s estate at the time of death. These gifts are often larger, and sometimes transformative for the organizations that receive them.

The Fall River Society recognizes donors who have publicly stated that they have included one or more member nonprofits of Estes Valley Legacy in plans for their estate. The members in-

ducted in this first annual ceremony include: Alice and Keith Burkholder; Sue Steele and Mike Conley; Raymond E. Cushing (in memoriam); Miriam E. Felsenburg; Susan K. Harris; David and Mary Hemphill; Leo Weber and Deborah Hughes; Jerry and Leonor Kennell; Cynthia Combs Krumme; Frank and Jill Lancaster; Denise and Michael Moore; Sally and Wayne Park; Dee Robinson; Suzanna Simpson; Janet and Rick Taylor; Sarah Walsh; and Kay L. and Robert J. Williams.

Member organizations of Estes Valley Legacy include: Bella Fortuna Inc.; Boys & Girls Clubs of Larimer County; Crossroads Ministry of Estes Park; Crossroads Ministry of Estes Park Endowment Foundation; Estes Park Medical Center Foundation; Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center; Estes Valley Community Fund, CFNC; Estes Valley Crisis Advocates; Estes Valley Investment in Childhood Success; Estes Valley Land Trust; Estes Valley Library Friends and Foundation; Harmony Foundation; Rocky Mountain Conservancy; The Estes Park Learning Place; and YMCA of the Rockies, Estes Park Center.

Estes Valley Legacy is a program of Estes Park Nonprofit Resources Center.

are proud of our student athletes and the effort they put into representing our community, the school district, and their teams.”

The Boosters are asking businesses to submit a photo of their staff in purple to ProudBobcatBoosters@gmail.com by 6 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 16, so the groups can be featured in homecoming coverage.

Recycling Update By: Judi Smith

Here is one more attempt to eliminate one-time use “convenience” items from our day to day lives – at least some of the time. We are so dependent on the ease of single use items we have failed to notice the cost, not only to the Earth but to our own pocketbooks. It is easy to overlook the expense of something you purchase in large quantities and use bit by bit. So, look over this list. Choose one item. And experiment to see, for example, how much it costs in time to get up and change the channel versus the cost of the batteries that provide this service.

A – How did paper towels become so prevalent in our kitchens? When we finally bought some white terry cloth bar towels, I was amazed at not only the financial savings but at how much more absorbent cloth is than paper. I already knew this, but habit dissolved that cognitive connection. Oh, we still have paper towels in the kitchen, but use them far less frequently. So I tear off one corner of the towel in the morning to spread oil for cooking eggs. I cannot seem to break that habit but now, bit by bit, I only take the minimum to fill the need. Drying hands, wiping up spills, cleaning the counters these are done by the bar towels. And a saucer on the countertop, not disposable paper towel provides a place to rest the spoon.

B-Paper and “wash and dry” cleaning cloths deserve their own mention here.

Microfiber cloths attract so much more dust than paper ever will. Bar towels (or better yet, old t-shirts) work very well

for cleaning. (We launder them separately from kitchen and bed linens.) A good spray bottle filled with your favorite cleaning solution works wonders.

Keep the bottle filled and ready, the difference in time absorption is almost nonexistent. And the (monetary) savings are amazing!

C – Billions of single-use cups are thrown away each year in the USA. Other countries do a much better job of being waste conscious. We purchase these cups (full) at, mostly, coffee shops and fast food counters. All too many of these are made of polystyrene (“styrofoam”) which, created to be indestructible by water, will remain in the landfill for generations. Some fast food restaurants will allow you to use your own cup. Most coffee shops offer a discount to those who buy or bring a “real” cup and many offer space for “regulars” to store a cup on premise.

These three suggestions are just a start.

Next week we will add water bottles, shopping bags, and coffee pods to the list. Every day, we purchase things, especially packaging, that has no permanent position in our lives. If we each change one habit, the world would be a better place.

For those who are interested, the next Community Recycling Committee meeting is 10 a.m. October 5 at the Estes Valley Library. The Freecycle Estes event will be October 8 and the plan this year includes electronic recycling on that same day. Watch this newspaper for future updates.

Dean Harris Dean Allen Harris slipped away peacefully in his sleep to be with our Lord on Tuesday, September 6, 2016.

Dean was born in Flint, Michigan on March 31, 1930, and he grew up in Chesaning, Michigan on a farm.

His parents were Mabel and Fred Harris. He attended the University of Michigan for his bachelors and master’s degrees. He received his doctorate degree in audiology at the University of Oklahoma.

Dean worked in audiology at Walter Reed Army Hospital, as well as serving as Chief of Audiology at the Veteran’s Hospital in Dallas, Texas. He founded and directed the graduate program in audiology and was a tenured professor at Southern Methodist University for 17 years. He had a renowned career in the field of Industrial Audiology and was nationally respected as a consultant and trainer by his many clients across the nation. He married his partner in life, Ginger (Lyne) Harris, in 1977.

They were blessed to live in Estes Park for the last 25 years.

Dean is survived by his wife and by his children, Kerry (Harris) Keena; Denise (Pulley) Hicks and son-in-law, Rick Hicks (all of Fort Collins, Colorado) ; and, ‘extra’ son, Jim Kaster

(Austin, Texas). His sons Scott and Matt Harris are with him in heaven. One cherished grandson, Caden Harrison Keena (Mansfield, Texas) also survives Dean. As well, Dean is survived by his sister, Jane (Skaryd) Schurr, and brother-in-law, John Schurr; and by his step-brothers Bill (Dora) and Roger (Marie Jo) Broughton.

Dean was beloved by his nieces, Susan, Barb and Katie and many other family and friends.

In his lifetime, Dean was a Mason, a Rotarian and an active member of the Episcopal Church. He loved watching University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and Broncos football and enjoyed playing all types of games. His service will be at 11:00 a. m. on Friday, September 16th at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, with burial at Estes Valley Memorial Gardens at 2:00 p.m. Donations in lieu of flowers may be made to: St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, the YMCA of the Rockies, or the Alzheimer’s Association by contacting these charities directly or mailed to Allnutt Funeral Home 1302 Graves Ave. Estes Park, CO 80517.

Legal Notice EARLY NOTICE OF A POTENTIAL IMPACT TO A FLOOD HAZARD AREA AND WETLANDS The Colorado Department of Local Affairs is considering committing CDBG/DR funds, under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended or Title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, to undertake a project known as the Cheley Camp Reach Project. The specific elements of this proposed action are to restore the riparian corridor within this reach of Fish Creek and to create a more resilient stream. This project is considered a high priority project in the Master Plan for Resiliency for Fish Creek.

The Cheley Camp Reach is at the southernmost end of Fish Creek Road and runs through a ranch property with a single owner. Innovative restoration practices would be used to provide a more resilient stream while mimicking pre-flood conditions. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has not defined a regulatory floodplain for the Cheley Camp Reach of Fish Creek within Larimer County. Although there is not a current regulatory floodplain on the FEMA maps, this reach has been identified as an area that will be mapped and become regulatory through the State Colorado Hazard Mapping Program. The proposed action, if implemented, would impact a Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) designated 100-year Flood Zone. The project would also impact a riverine wetland associated with Fish Creek, a freshwater emergent wetland, and a freshwater forested/shrub wetland.

The purposes of this notice are to: (1) inform the public of this potential consequence; and (2) request comments concerning: (a) potential adverse impacts of the proposed project on the SFHA and wetland, and (b) alternative sites or courses of action that might avoid or reduce these impacts.

Details concerning the proposed action are available for examination/copying at the Estes Valley Watershed Coalition office, 1191 Woodstock Drive, Estes Park, CO 80517, weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the proposed project to Crystal Andrews, Environmental Specialist, 1313 Sherman St., 3rd Floor, Denver, CO 80203 or crystal.andrews@state.co.us. All comments must be received no later than October 1, 2016.
