Bull Elk Attack Forces CPW To Euthanize Animal By: Kris Hazelton

An incident happened last week that was very unfortunate and it is a great reminder to all of us to be careful around the elk this time of year as they are in the midst of the rut (breeding season).

At A 7:24 a.m. a m Thursday, Thursday a September 14, ay 14 a woman was observing some cow elk and she heard someone yell behind her to watch out for a bull that was fast approaching her from behind. The bull knocked her over and she was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Then, at 8:11 the same morning, a woman was jogging along the trail near Performance Park and she noticed some cow elk near the trail. She made a wide pass around them and after coming around the curve encountered the same bull who knocked her down and injured her. (Both women were treated for their injuries and released).

Colorado Parks and Wildlife were notified and they came out to check on the situation and had no choice but to put this aggressive bull elk down so no others could be hurt, or possibly even killed by this bull.

CPW is saddened by this unfortunate situation. The bull was ear tagged and known to CPW as an aggressive bull in other situations such as the incident last summer on the 9 Hole Golf Course when this particular bull was seen goring another bull to death. He was also known

than not, a herd bull elk attending to his harem of cows will false charge anyone who gets too close and send them running for the protection of the nearest tree, structure or vehicle. However, on rare occasions such as this, bulls decide against the false charge and people are

for other charging incidents involving people.

This sad situation reminds us that the elk are indeed, wild animals and they are unpredictable, especially during the rut.

As sad as this story is, CPW has the public's interest and safety in mind regarding these animals and they had no other choice than to put this bull down.

People must always remember to keep a safe distance between themselves and elk so that the elk are relatively undisturbed, and that people remain relatively safe. Unfortunately, there are always a number of people who are either unaware of or choose to ignore this common sense safety measure. If the animals you are observing appear jumpy or nervous, you are too close. Most problems that occur between the public and elk usually come about when people try to get too close to get a better photo or video or worse yet, a selfie. More often

injured.

Please let this be a lesson to us all to never approach the wildlife! For all photographers and videographers, give them room, use your zoom. Observe animals from a safe, respectable distance—safe for you and safe for the animals. You can get “close� by using binoculars, a spotting scope, or a camera with a telephoto lens.

Please, please, enjoy watching the rut, it's exciting and interesting to watch to be sure, but please do so from a safe viewing area. Situations can change VERY rapidly when watching the rut and rival bulls will run very quickly to chase off another bull or to herd more females into their harem. You never, ever want to be in a situation where you are between two rival males or between a bull and his herd. Keep your distance, and PLEASE be safe around these animals. Our wildlife depends on it.

The Estes Park in Bloom steering committee presented the “Business Bright Spot� award to Claire’s on the Park Sept.

15. The committee presented a traveling sign for the property, a window cling and a framed certificate of recognition to general manager Ryan Banker. The designation of a “Business Bright Spot� recognizes a business that places emphasis on beautifully maintained landscapes, floral displays and a tidy store front.

Claire’s on the Park is the seventh business to receive this designation in 2017, joining Hotel Estes, River Spruce Cabins, Wildflower Mercantile, Patterson Glassworks Studio & Gallery, The Studio Fine Art and Framing and Elements of Touch Wellness Spa and River Retreat. The committee will award the final “Business Bright Spot� of the season Sept. 29.

Claire’s on the Park is located at 225 Park Lane, and has been owned and operated by Claire Ray for 37 years.

They are celebrating their 25th anniversary at the Park Lane location this year.

Claire plants and maintains the front gar-

den, making revisions each season. The garden includes bright perennials and a meandering trail, which also serves as a pleasant spot for patrons to wait for a table. The garden also features herbs which are often picked and incorporated into the menu. Three years ago Claire brought on Executive Chef Bill Brink who has made many changes to the menu, including a focus on locally sourced food free of additives and hormones.

Claire’s is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. To learn more about Claire’s on the Park, visit\ www.clairesonthepark.com.

Each fall, bears eat, eat, eat as they get ready to sleep, sleep, sleep. This period of massive caloric intake is called hyperphagia. Bears can consume up to 20,000 calories a day! Their quest for calories has begun and the Estes Valley Bear Education Task Force would like to remind you about some important facts: 1. Black bears have big appetites. They are mostly vegetarian but they aren’t picky - anything slightly edible will do.

They consider our trash, their food.

2. Black bears are nosey. They are curious and follow their noses to food. Bears can smell food five miles away!

3. Black bears are busybodies. They can be active anytime, anywhere, day or night.

4. Black bears are smart.

They learn quickly to identify food, packaging and containers. Once bears find an easy meal they’ll be back for more.

5. Black bears are naturally shy. They usually avoid people, but once conditioned to human food, they may become aggressive.

6. People’s actions can alter bear behavior. Bears that eat human food (and trash) are drawn close to homes and businesses and may become problem animals.

Estes Park has increasing numbers of bear activities and incidents.

This summer Estes Park Police have noted increased bear incidents, primarily due to trash management. Multiple bears frequent the town after dark, particularly the commercial area downtown.

These close calls present a safety hazard for our residents and guests. The increase in incidents is likely the result of our past actions. We can do better!

Estes Valley CAN be a great place for people, bears and other watchable wildlife. We want a healthy bear population so that we all can continue to have memorable wildlife experiences, and we want bears in their natural environment where they can be seen...from a safe distance.

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com When we were kids sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast, we were encouraged to read the back of the cereal boxes. This was just one of the ways Mom tried to keep us from pestering each other in all the typical ways brothers and sisters do.

(Me: “Mommm! Ned’s slurping. ” Mom, busy making lunches for all of us: “If no one’s getting hurt, I don’t want to hear about it. ” Me: “But he’s slurping really loud! ” Mom: “Don’t pay any attention to him.

Read the cereal box. ” Ned: “BUUURP! ”) Those were the days when we ate Cap’n Crunch, Cocoa Puffs, Frosted Flakes, Frankenberry, Fruit Loops, Lucky Charms, Sugar Pops, Sugar Smacks, and Trix (are for kids) …are you noting the key ingredient in each of these?

Sugar. The first food we put into our bodies every morning was sugar. That’s why we pestered each other in all the ways siblings do.

Those cereal boxes are the reason I’m a label reader today. Cereal boxes and lunch bags. After Mom made our sandwiches, divvied up chips into baggies and included a Little Debbie for dessert, she drew stick-figure scenes on all five of our brown paper lunch bags—along with our names—and lined them up on the kitchen counter for an easy grab-and-go as we headed out the door for school. She did this for umpteen years, from when Ned started grade school until Janet graduated from high school about 20 years later. Elementary in style, Mom’s notes shared an encouraging sentiment and were quick little reminders that she loved us.

Today I read candy wrappers, the recipes on cake mix boxes, toothpaste tubes, the stickers on fruit, (oranges with the #4012 sticker on them are the best) and the list of ingredients on every food package I lay my hands on.

My favorite quotes these days are on Luna bar wrappers, called “whole nutrition” bars, whatever that means. They have uplifting little ditties on their labels that make me want to buy another one just for the quote:

“This day leads to awesome.”

“Be with someone who makes you happy.”

The teaboxisms from Celestial Seasoning are also full of wisdom (the lush, whimsical artwork adorning each box is equally pleasing) : “He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened.” Lao Tzu “When the well is dry we know the worth of water.” Benjamin Franklin “One that would have the fruit must climb the tree.” Thomas Fuller “The problem with doing nothing is not knowing when you’re finished.” Benjamin Franklin “I do not like that man. I must get to know him better.” Abraham Lincoln “That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet.” Emily Dickinson “Bread and water can so easily be toast and tea.”

Anonymous “One morning I was sitting at my kitchen table, staring into space. It was one of those windy days when the sun keeps coming out and going in. All of a sudden, a sunbeam crossed my kitchen table and lit up my crystal salt shaker. There were all kinds of colors and sparkles. It was one of the most beautiful sights I’d ever seen! But you know, that very same salt shaker had been on that kitchen table for over fifty years. Surely there must have been other mornings when the sun crossed the table like that but I was just too busy getting things done. I wondered what else I’d missed. I realized that this was it, this was grace.” Martha McCallum, age 84.

These quotes give us a nudge to pause and contemplate life as it is and as we can make it. We need a little of that every day. But the most meaningful messages ever were Mom’s lunch bag notes with stick-figure art. They said “I love you” best of all.

Come To The Jerrypalooza!

One of the great things about living in the Estes Valley is that when one of our “homies” needs some support, the community rallies! And that is exactly what will be happening with the Jerrypalooza celebration on September 30 at the American Legion Post 119 on the corner of Highways 7 and 36. Jerry Schrag has been a resident of Estes Park, a staff member at Upper Thompson Sanitation District, and part of the local music scene for decades. Earlier this summer, when Jerry was struck with unexpected medical bills beyond his

insurance coverage, local musicians decided to hold a fundraiser to help pay those bills. The band Tahosa is leading this event, and they are joined by the bands Night Owl and Midnight Trampoline for an eight hour (2 p.m.

– 10 p.m.) celebration of fall, of life, and of Jerry Schrag.

Expect to find plenty of live music, food, fun, prizes, hugging and kissing at this great event! No cover charge, but please bring your generosity to donate to this worthy cause. This special event is open to all!

Another great conductor, Victor Borge, said, “Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.� Thank you, Vicki, for bringing laughter to an otherwise mundane job.

Estes Park had its own Toscanini in the Elkhorn intersections this summer – Community Service Officer Vicki Bachtell.

Sometimes people roll down their windows, honk, and cheer, according to Bachtell, who also notices little kids on the sidewalk imitating her. “There are so many wonderful people, � she says, “but sometimes it can be a challenge to keep a level head when irritable people yell and take out their frustration on the uniform. �

According to Bachtell, CSOs receive a week of training that includes CPR, First Aid, and what she calls, “The scariest part – responding to accidents. � She says her first thought is,

“Is anyone hurt?�

When asked how she musters up the energy for an eight-hour shift, two hours per intersection, she said, “I just flip a switch in my mind and make it work. I don’t think about it. I just do it.� She admits that she usually has, “a song stuck in my head. �

Rock Cut Brewing Company has announced that it plans to attend the 36th annual Great American Beer Festival (GABF), at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver on October 5-7. This will be Rock Cut’s second appearance at the festival after attending for the first time last year.

GABF was designed to bring together the brewers and beers that make the U.S. the world’s most diverse brewing nation.

Since its conception in 1982, GABF has been growing and evolving along with the American brewing community. It represents the largest collection of U.S. beer ever served, in the format of a public tasting event plus a privately judged competition. Rock Cut will be active both in the public tasting, with a booth for attendees to sample their brews, as well as in the competition, where they’ve submitted four beers for judging. “It’s a thrill enter the competition,� said brewery coowner Matt Heiser. “GABF medals are some of the most prestigious and well-known beer awards in the world.

For our beer to even be considered is a great opportunity for public exposure.�

Breweries are given an extensive list of beer styles and categories, and can choose which of their beers they think has the best shot at winning. Over 9,000 beers are collected in late August and judging occurs in the time leading up to the festival. “We’ve entered the Altruism, our German-style Amber; the Loch Gneiss, our Scottish ale; the Smoky Brunette, our smoked brown ale; and the Funky Portal, our Brettanomyces-fermented New England IPA,� Heiser added.

For those more interested in the partak-

ing side of the festival, attendees will have the choice of over 3,800 beers from more than 800 breweries around the country.

Rock Cut will be serving five beers at their booth, including the Smoky Brunette, Loch Gneiss, and Funky Portal.

They’ll also be pouring the East Portal (New England style IPA) and Les Deux Oreilles (saison). “We’re honored to represent Estes Park at GABF,� commented brewery co-owner Tracy Goodemote. “We love showing beer drinkers from around the country that Estes Park is not only a great place to vacation, but a great place to find craft beer.�

Great American Beer Festival tickets are

currently sold out, but often can be found on resale websites. Rock Cut Brewing Company is located at 390 W. Riverside Drive in Piccadilly Square in Estes Park. The taproom is open daily (even during GABF): Monday-Friday at 12 p.m., Saturday & Sunday at 11 a.m.

More information, including a current draft list, can be found on their website at www.rockcutbrewing.com or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/rockcutbrewing.

Tenkara Talk With Trout Unlimited

Fly-fishing is all about simplicity. The beauty of being on the water, reading the river, and trying to match the hatch are unparalleled. To keep with the simple beauty of the sport, a new style of flyfishing is breaking into the tradition, tenkara fishing. When tenkara fly-fishing, the fisherperson uses only a rod, line, and fly. The reel is removed from the equation. This provides a very connected experience, great for beginners trying to get into the sport and experts looking for a new slant on their old hobby.

To learn more about tenkara fly-fishing, join Alpine Anglers for an evening with Adam Omernick, founder of Tenkara Rod Company and passionate tenkara fly-fisherman. Adam has been fishing since the age of five, both fresh and saltwater, and is passionate about sharing his experience and knowledge with others.

He moved to Northern Colorado in 1999 and picked up fly fishing from the book

“The Art and Science of Fly Fishing.” He is an International Federation of Fly Fishers Certified Casting Instructor and spends most weekends either teaching fly fishing to beginners or guiding the waters of Colorado.

The event will be on Wednesday, September 27th from 6:30-8:00 p.m. at Elkins Distillery in Estes Park (1825 N. Lake Ave., Estes Park, CO 80517). Admission is free. Come early to meet other local anglers and enjoy a drink and some food from local establishments.

Trout Unlimited is a national non-profit committed to protecting cold water fisheries. On the local level, projects are managed by smaller chapters, like Alpine Anglers, comprised entirely of volunteers dedicated to protecting the watersheds and fish habitats in their area. To learn more about Alpine Anglers and Trout Unlimited, visit alpineanglers.tu.org or contact alpineanglers.tu@gmail.com.

Cancer Care Already Benefiting From Paint Estes Pink Donations

Friday, September 22, 2017

Page 19

Thanks to all who participated in Paint Estes Pink — donors, Crowns for the Care contestants, our business community, and volunteers on the Paint Estes Pink community committee — Estes Park Medical Center can better serve individuals who need oncology care.

The 2017 campaign focused on raising funds to purchase two new infusion (IV) pumps for administering treatments like chemotherapy. Donations totaled more than twice what was needed for that equipment, so Medical Center leadership and Oncology Department staff are addressing other priorities to enhance cancer services and continue to meet the growing demand for cancer treatments in Estes.

The new pumps were immediately ordered and are already in use. The next priority was to obtain three patient transporters and those have been ordered. Additional equipment needs for oncology patient care and comfort are still being considered. “We are so grateful for the community’s support,� said Erin Wooley, Director of the Medical/Surgical Department at EPMC. “Those generous gifts are already helping us better meet patient needs. I wish I could thank each individual donor personally.�

To learn more about Paint Estes Pink, contact Kevin Mullin at 970-577-4306 or kmullin@epmedcenter.com.

Psychology Of Nature The Science Of Awe

Of course nature makes us feel better, calm, happy, awestruck, and just more “clear-headed,� but why?

Thanks to a growing interest in how nature influences our mental and physical health, there is new research offering up explanations.

Discover: • How nature experiences affect our nervous system. • How our brain’s neurophysiology changes during a nature experience, simultaneously stimulating us but also making us more calm. • How nature influences happiness, humility, curiosity, innovation, thoughtfulness and gratitude. • What governments are doing to promote well-being through natural spaces

including allocations of money and other resources.

LESSONS FROM A SHEEPDOG I’m a ‘softie’ when it comes to animals, especially pet dogs. It started back when I heard the song about ‘Old Shep’. So, when I read Phillip Keller’s Lessons From a Sheep Dog’, I was touched. He tells about a border collie he bought to help herd sheep on his Canadian ranch.

The dog was cheap because it was unpredictable and ill-tempered. Keller hoped that the animal could serve until he could get a better one.

When he got the dog to the ranch, it was soon evident that the dog had been badly neglected or abused by previous owners. It was nervous and filled with suspicion and fear. Keller spent days trying to gain his trust. He talked to the dog often in a gentle voice. He always approached the dog slowly, trying to get close enough to pet it, or at least, to get it to eat. Nothing worked. The dog refused to be drawn closer or to drop its guard and, even worse, it refused to eat. After a week of this, Keller realized the dog was going to starve to death unless he relaxed his efforts and turned the dog loose. So he released the dog. It quickly disappeared over a nearby hill and was gone.

Keller assumed that he had seen the last of the animal, but continued to put food and water out. Daily he scanned the horizon, hoping to see some evidence that it was still alive and nearby. One day, to his delight, he spotted the dog watching him from a distance. He spoke softly to the dog hoping to build trust. The dog quickly vanished. The next day it appeared again, and later Keller noticed some food had been eaten. Each of the following days, the same happened, seeming to show that the dog was overcoming his fear and suspicion. Then the seemingly impossible happened. One morning as Keller sat on a large rock, watching his grazing sheep, he saw out of the corner of his eye, a familiar form approaching from the back. He sat motionless, his hands behind his back. Suddenly he felt a cold, wet nose on his hand. He slowly turned. The dog stayed. He put his hand on the dog’s head. Still he stayed and Keller noticed his tail start to wag.

From that time on, the bond was sealed and the dog became Keller’s constant companion, always by his side, showing unwavering devotion. He became an extension of the rancher himself, working the sheep with almost uncanny instinct and precision.

The story reminded me of a poster in a bedroom in a friend’s house in Wyoming. It shares these insightful words of advice: “If you love something and it goes away, let it go. If it returns to you, it belongs to you. If it doesn’t, it probably never did.”

Keller’s story and the poster remind me of another story. This time it was about a boy who went to his father and asked to receive his inheritance early. A loving father gave it to him and, in essence, ‘let him go’. Like the dog in Keller’s story, he ran away, leaving his father to wonder if he would ever show up again. Then, one glorious day, that ‘watching Father’ was thrilled to witness a now-starving and finally alert to what he had been missing, son ‘coming home’… home, to receive all the blessings that had just been waiting for him to return to enjoy. That story Jesus told, reminds us that our Father does not force His affections and blessings upon us. But they are waiting there for those who return, showing unwavering devotion and love to Him who blesses. Is that you?

Laurie describes tap dancing as having musical instruments on the bottom of your feet. In this series, students will learn the basics of tap dance and an entire dance full of Broadway-style tap choreography. According to Laurie, tap dancing helps develop leg, foot, and hip strength as well as overall balance and posture. Tap dancing also promotes musicality, memory, self-expression, confidence, performance qualities, and huge amounts of joy! Students new to tap are welcome to wear tennis shoes or can purchase a pair of their own tap shoes. Laurie will discuss and educate students on tap shoe options during the first class.

Estes Park EDC Receives International Excellence In Economic Development Award The Estes Park Economic Development Corporation won a Silver Excellence in Economic Development Award for its General Purpose Website, a project in the category of General Purpose Website of the International Economic Development Council (IEDC).

The honor was presented at an awards ceremony on Tuesday, Sept. 19, during the IEDC Annual Conference, which was held Sept. 17 - 20, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. “On behalf of the IEDC board of directors and Excellence in Economic Development Awards Advisory Committee, congratulations to the Estes Park Economic Development Corporation. Not only did they work to provide a necessary service to their community; but also, their participation in the awards program sheds light on their stellar projects which other communities can now use as a benchmark, � said Michael Langley, FM, the CEO of GREATER MSP, Minneapolis–St. Paul, MN, and 2017 IEDC Board Chair.

The website communicates the community's economic development priorities, reflecting a regional strategy that was based on extensive stakeholder interviews and 790 e-survey responses.

The survey research represents about 7 percent of Estes Valley's population.

More existing and potential businesses are reaching out for assistance looking to do business in the Estes Valley.

Since inception of a marketing plan and social media content calendar 12 months ago, they have seen 75% growth in Twitter followers to 269 followers. Facebook has 53% growth in page likes to 368 likes, a 120% increase in page views and a 425% increase in post likes.

The website enhances the credibility of our e-newsletters and the open rate for the newsletters is 46.08% while the industry average open rate is 1.2%.

Newsletter signups on the website has seen 57% growth month over month. “This website would not have been possible without the support and input from our Board of Directors, Stake-

holders and community� said Adam Shake, Estes Park EDC Director of Communications and Business Development. “We would especially like to thank Town of Estes Park Public Information Officer Kate Rusch, Town of Estes Park Police Operations Captain Eric Rose and Larimer County Workforce Center Business Training Coordinator Mike Kohler for their individual contributions to the website. �

Jon Nicholas, Estes Park EDC President and CEO stated that “I am grateful that this website was built completely inhouse. While many organizations rely on outside consultants and website designers, Adam Shake brought the technical expertise and ability to build a website on a Squarespace platform that incorporates responsive design and offers high quality information and business services to our Estes Valley businesses on a variety of devices.� “The awards process is a thorough, non-biased and multi-layered process.

These are extraordinary accomplishments for all winners, and an overall great effort by all participants. We look forward to next year’s awards competition, � Langley said.

Storm Mountain Holiday Bazaar September 30 & October 1 Our 9th Annual Storm Mountain Holiday Bazaar is rapidly approaching! We will again have a number of local artisans displaying beautiful handmade items that would make wonderful holiday gifts. We started the Storm Mountain Bazaar in 2008; a group of local crafters looking for an outlet for their products. Being in a rural area, marketing is more challenging than in a town.

All of our items are hand crafted and good quality and you have the fun of talking to the crafters and learning about the process of creating the items.

Most of the crafters also take special orders, so you can get exactly the colors/size/etc that you want.

The wide variety of locally hand crafted items will include quilted, knit & crocheted items, jewelry, soaps, herbal salves & lotions, pottery, painted glasses, felted wool mittens and clogs, antler and leather crafts, honey, decorations, wood switch plates, candle holders, cards, hand carved signs, pet items, decorated purses, steam punk lamps and more treasures!

The dates have changed some over the years but we had settled on the first weekend in November, to avoid crafter conflicts with other craft shows and to try and beat the worst fall weather. Other than the year of the flood (no road) we’ve held the show every year. Our sale last year and again this year has been moved much earlier in order to beat the closing of US 34; dates are Saturday September 30, from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Sunday, Oct 1, from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. in the Big Thompson Canyon Association Bldg. (a fun historic log building), 1479 US Hwy 34, 1 mile east of Drake. The early dates are a bit of a challenge for crafters, in getting the word out and preparing products much earlier than usual, in some cases crafters are still working summer jobs.

We hope people will come through the

canyon, see some fall colors, and stop in to shop. Look for a few more fall craft items (Halloween perhaps?) as well as the usual Thanksgiving and Christmas items.

A serving of chili and tortilla will be available for $3; larger quantities can also be purchased to take home. This is the fourth year we have offered the chili. A resident who is a firefighter and his wife organize the chili (he cooks it, authentic firefighter chili), get donations from stores, and donate all the proceeds to our local fire dept. We are officially part of Loveland Fire Rescue Authority, Canyon Battalion. Funds for additional equipment and other operational items is always welcome! All proceeds go to Station 9 VFD on Storm Mountain.

We try to make sure this is a fun community event, not just a shopping event.

Free cookies and cider, crafts, people happy to share information, fun historic log building – and hopefully good weather!

If you have any questions please contact Deb Green at www.facebook.com/peacefulridge or deb@peacefulridge.com.

Estes Park Area Weavers Guild Meeting September 28 The monthly meeting of the Estes Park Area Weavers Guild will be held Thursday, September 28, 2017 in the Hondius Room of the Estes Valley Public Library at 12:30 p.m. Fiber artist, Becky Margenau, of Fort Collins will be the speaker.

Becky made traditional quilts and large wall hangings for many years, but has more recently switched to smaller projects and fast piece applique, usually mountain or other western landscapes. She embellishes her pieces with embroidery stitching and beading to create mini landscapes. In addition for about 20 years she has been creating Temari balls (Japanese thread balls). This ancient craft had almost disappeared, but has recently made a comeback thanks to the Temari Association and the Internet. To make a Temari she wraps thread around a ball !

and then stitches intricate designs onto the surface. Becky will show her artwork plus materials that she uses, answer questions and inspire artists.

Visitors are always welcome and refreshments will be served. For more information on the Estes Park Area Weaver’s Guild contact Gray Rueppel at 586-2978.

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.

She was born in a barracks, which had been converted to a maternity hospital when the American military made the wise decision to bring families to Japan to show the Japanese its commitment to peace. As her father rose to the rank of Lt. Col. before his retirement Cynthia lived in over 14 places, ending up in Tulsa, Oklahoma by the tenth grade, where she and David first met. The Krummes were together almost fifty years before his death.

The partnership with Peterson Air Force base marks an important milestone for the three-year old non-profit. Since its inception a goal has been to partner with organizations where the program could become institutionalized as a standard response to grief and loss experiences. In the future Loving Spirit will be working to offer its facilitator training to the US Air Force Chaplain Corp so that the free workshops can be given anywhere that Air Force personnel are deployed.

Joining Spencer in delivering the twoday workshop will be Estes Park residents Sally Park, and John and Cindy Minier.

Because the workshop will be given on a secure military base, only Air Force personnel stationed at Peterson Air Force Base and their families will be able to attend.

Loving Spirit will offer another workshop in Estes Park on November 11th and 12th at the Estes Valley Library that will be open to the public.

Registration is now open for both workshops at www.lovingspirit.info/workshops .

Auditions For “Relationships” A Readers Theatre Presentation Estes Park Repertoire Theatre Company invites interested persons to audition for “Relationships” - a Readers Theatre program consisting of various scripts exploring the humorous nature of categories such as Children, Space Travel, Aging, Crime and Adam and Eve. Readers Theatre is sometimes described as “Theatre of the Imagination” or “Theatre of the Mind.” It occupies a niche somewhere between a speech and a play, with emphasis on suggestion and vivid reading that places the action primarily in the mind of the audience member.

The scripts, which are held during the performance, are either adapted from various forms of literature such as prose, poetry and drama or created as original dialogue specifically for Readers Theatre presentations. One of the dynamic aspects is the reader's ability to interpret and perform written material making it seem as if the action takes place in the midst of the audience.

Readers Theatre allows the reader an opportunity to participate in the “performing arts” without the anxiety associated with “memorizing lines.”

Open auditions for “Relationships” are scheduled for Monday, September 25th and Tuesday, September 26th at 7:00 p.m.

The performances will be as follows: Friday, November 10th at 7:00 p.m.

Saturday, November 11th – No Performance due to Veterans Day – please join us for the commemoration activities!

Sunday, November 12th – at 7:00 p.m.

Friday, November 17th at 7:00 p.m.

Saturday, November 18th at 7:00 p.m.

Sunday, November 19th at 2:00 p.m.

All auditions and performances will be held at the American Legion Post 119 at 850 N. St. Vrain Ave. Anyone wanting additional information or unable to attend one of the scheduled audition dates can contact Jeff Miller at 501-840-2015.

We look forward to seeing you!

Famed Takács Quartet To Perform At The Old Gallery In Allenspark In just a week, one of the premiere string quartets in the world will be performing in the neighboring town of Allenspark, a short 20 minute drive up Highway 7.

What? On Saturday, September 30, you have only to head to The Old Gallery in Allenspark to hear the famed Takács Quartet, which has been the recipient of three Gramophone Awards, a Grammy Award, three Japanese Record Academy Awards, Disc of the Year at the inaugural BBC Music Magazine Awards and Ensemble Album of the Year at the Classical Brits.

The quartet consists of Edward Dusinberre, violin; Károly Schranz, violin; Geraldine Walther, viola and András Fejér, cello. Members of the Takács Quartet are Faculty Fellows at the University of Colorado Boulder where they have helped develop a string program with a special emphasis on chamber music. The quartet is known to play with a unique blend of drama, warmth and humor, that combines four distinct musical personalities and brings fresh insights to the string quartet repertoire.

The Takács Quartet has a lengthy tradition of performances in Estes Park and the mountain communities of Colorado.

Though it is not surprising that the ensemble performs regularly in venues such the Aspen Music Festival, they have grown to love performing for audiences along the Peak-to-Peak Highway. For a couple of decades, under the sponsorship of the Chamber Music Society of Estes Park, the ensemble performed regularly at the Stanley Hotel and Hempel Hall—a tradition that was ended by the epic flood of 2013.

Fortunately for Allenspark, Dave Pinkow, Board President of The Old Gallery and a former CU music faculty member, was contacted by a member of the quartet who expressed an interest in

resuming their performances in nearby mountain communities. “The Old Gallery is a perfect place, and many of us had been dreaming of their performing at TOG for some time. Now, for a third year, the Takács Quartet has graciously agreed to perform at The Old Gallery--they love the acoustics here and the intimacy of the venue. We’re just thrilled, ” Pinkow said.

The quartet will perform the Quartet in D Minor, Op. 75, No. 2 by Franz Joseph Haydn, Quartet No. 11 by Dimitri Shostakovich and Quartet in F Minor, Op. 80 by Felix Mendelssohn.

Tickets are $35 and are available at The Old Gallery and Distant Harbors in Allenspark and at brownpapertickets.com. There are a limited number of tickets available for this event, and it is recommended that people purchase tickets in advance.

Construction Of Estes Valley Community Center Surpasses 50% Completion the EVRPD recreation office. This will allow for continuation of site improvements and start the landscaping of the property. The construction site will continue to be closed to the public and every effort will be

Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVRPD), provider of numerous recreational and community activities in Estes Valley, reached a major milestone on the construction of the Estes Valley Community Center (EVCC).

With the guidance of Adolfson and Peterson Construction, the EVCC is now more than 50 percent complete.

“We are excited to reach this milestone in the lengthy process of building a stateof-the-art, multigenerational facility for the community members and visitors to Estes Park,” said Teresa Jackson, Manager of Community Center Operations. “The community center was a long-time coming and it is exciting to see the building take shape after many years of planning.”

As part of reaching this point in the construction process, the construction trailer will be moved to Stanley Park near

made to keep the construction trailer out of the flow of traffic during events and

activities at Stanley Park.

Advancement in the building now includes the installation of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, commencement of dry wall installation, placement of window panes, installation of some retaining walls, and painting the outside of the building. Even though reaching this milestone took almost a year, the remaining construction will move along very quickly as the workers finish closing up the building and finalizing the interior features and architecture.

Along with the building of the community center is the remodel of the aquatics center, which will become a part of the center. This project is progressing with an anticipated opening date of early November. The scaffolding has been removed in the pool and there are now very clean beams and a fresh coat of paint throughout the pool area.

A new sound system has been installed along with new acoustic panels, new light fixtures and new ceiling fans.

In addition to the remodel of the pool, the new community center will also feature: • Cubz Den, a children’s play area with Rocky Mountain themed wildlife, a river painted on the floor, and a cabin where kids can play • AquaClimb KURVE, a deep water solo climbing experience for all ages • a natural color palette with modern tones for everything from wall paint to carpeting to tiles in the locker rooms • a golf simulator featuring wellknown courses, such as Pebble Beach and St. Andrews For more information about the new community center, visit evrpd.com or call Teresa Jackson at 970-586-7556.

About the Estes Valley Community Center: The new Estes Valley Community Center is a 70,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility scheduled to open in February 2018. The center is

envisioned as a comprehensive, multigenerational destination with a robust schedule of classes, a multipurpose gymnasium, indoor walking and jogging track, lazy river with interactive play features and slide in a natatorium, group fitness facilities, large community room with kitchen, golf simulator, senior center area and drop-in childcare.

About Estes Valley Recreation and Park District: Estes Valley Recreation and Park District is a quasi-municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of Colorado. Established in 1955, the organization’s goals are to plan, direct, organize and implement recreational programs, manage facilities and provide public park and recreation opportunities for residents and visitors of the District, an area that encompasses 320 square miles.

David W. Hodges Jr. David Wayne Hodges Jr., 90, died peacefully surrounded by family on Wednesday, September 13th, 2017 at the Estes Park Medical Center following a brief illness.

David leaves behind his wife of 72 years, Betty (Bateman) Hodges; his five children, Steve Hodges, Davi (Hodges) Kramer, Valerie (Hodges) Tankard, Brett Hodges, and Bethany Hodges along with twelve grandchildren and five great grandchildren; and many close friends and extended family.

Born in Tulsa, the family moved early on to Bartlesville, Oklahoma. David was the son of Wayne and Dorothy Hodges. In his early years, David helped his dad with Empire Express Delivery Service and subsequently at the Tulsa World and Tribune as a paperboy.

David met Betty in high school and after graduating from Bartlesville High, they married and David enlisted in the U. S. Navy to serve as an aircraft gunner and mechanic in World War II. After the War ended, David and Betty moved to Stillwater, OK where David attended and graduated from Oklahoma State University (Oklahoma A&M at the time) with a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Statistics. After graduating, David went to work for IBM for 34 years in and around Kansas City and Topeka as a Branch Manager until he retired in 1983.

Never one to stay still for long and let the dust settle, David was a member of various community improvement or-

ganizations including Rotary Club International. After retiring from IBM, David joined the International Executives Service Corps and toured the world assisting and mentoring international entrepreneurs in business growth and development.

After spending 23 years in Oskaloosa, Kansas, David and Betty retired to Estes Park Colorado in 1999, where the family has vacationed annually since 1960. Although he enjoyed success in business throughout his life, David was most proud of his children and their relationships with one another. David instilled a love and appreciation of music into his children and grandchildren. He and Betty would often gather the children around and play whatever instrument was handy and all sing together.

An enthusiastic sportsman, he began the annual family pheasant hunt trip to South Dakota with family friends through five generations (and still going!). David also enjoyed hiking with his children, grandchildren, and many family dogs over the years.

In accordance with his wishes, David will have a “hootenanny” send-off filled with music, family and friends at a later date.
