Senior Citizens Are Vital To Our Community Last month I wrote an article about Accessory Dwelling Units and how they could help with the housing crisis Estes Park is currently facing. A recent letter to the editor stated that I bemoaned the fact that “Estes Park continues to be the oldest community in Colorado (2010 average resident age was 51 years old).”

Actually, there’s no bemoaning here.

That was a direct quote from the Colorado Association of Ski Towns housing report, not from me personally, and it is just a statement of fact. The author continues on to imply that I don’t care about seniors or support seniors in our community. Ironically, the Town has recently been accused of caring only about seniors and ignoring the needs of younger families. Perception is always in the eye of the beholder.

The fact that our average age is increasing faster than the general population is concerning, but this demographic fact should not be interpreted to mean that the Town government (or I, personally) think we have too many seniors in our community. The concern is that we have too few families and middle-income workers who provide the services we all enjoy. And at my age, I’m closer to the former than the latter.

Estes Park has an amazing mix of seniors and retirees in our community, with a breadth of experience and skills that contribute enormously to the quality of life of everyone who lives here. We have university presidents, educators, leaders

from industry, government, military and professionals who have decided to make this place their home. Estes Park has well over 100 nonprofits served by hundreds of volunteers, many of whom are seniors and retirees. Some of the busiest folks I know claim to be “retired,” yet they work long hours -- some in a second career, some in part-time jobs, and some as volunteers.

Estes Park has so much to offer people who have left their previous vocations to live here in the mountains. We have excellent health care, outdoor recreation opportunities, service and social organizations and amenities like wonderful restaurants and shops.

A healthy vibrant community needs diversity in its population, including diversity in age. I would have the same concern about the health of our community if we were the youngest municipality in the state, lacking the richness of contributions, experience and knowledge from our senior population. A healthy community has young people just starting off in life, filling many of the part-time and seasonal jobs. And we need working-age professionals and trades-people to fill the jobs of police officers, teachers, nurses, chefs, landscapers and construction workers.

This is not, and never has been, an “us versus them” situation. It’s simplistic to try and reduce our demographics to these terms because everyone is intertwined in supporting the community and

making it what it is and building the quality of life we have. Having a community that supports seniors as well as younger families and other workers, ensures that the services we all enjoy continue to be provided. Without the community infrastructure to support our daily lives, Estes Park will become a less and less attractive place to retire, and that infrastructure is not sustainable without a strong, diverse and vibrant workforce.

A healthy community has playgrounds that are full of noisy toddlers and children; high schools with teenagers involved in sports, music and theater; Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts; young adults biking, hiking and enjoying the nightlife; young parents starting their families; middle age working empty nesters; active retirees; and, octogenarians or older with rich stories and wisdom that only come with experience.

As we continue to work as a community to meet crucial needs such as workforce housing and lack of adequate child care, and as we work to attract and retain our young people and families, remember this is not an “either/or” discussion - it is an “and.” This isn’t about getting young families instead of seniors; it’s about attracting, retaining and improving the quality of life for young families AND our seniors. Diversity is truly the spice of life, and that includes age. Let’s keep Estes Park spicy.

The Colorado Department of Transportation and Kiewit Infrastructure Co. will host an open house at the Estes Park High School on Tuesday October 4th focused on the upcoming full closure of US 34 that begins Monday, Oct. 17.

Members of the project team will be available at topic-specific stations to address questions. Guests are encouraged to stop by any time between 6-8 p.m. Please note that at this meeting CDOT will not be giving a formal presentation. The purpose of this gathering is to make sure residents and nearby communities are prepared for the full closure and have the opportunity to ask specific one-on-one questions with project representatives. The Open House stations include: • Construction Package 1: All major blasting activities

• Office of Economic Development Business Grants • Closure information • VanGo registration • Permit Eligibility • Big Thompson Watershed Coalition • Drake design options • City of Loveland – Viestenz Smith Park Updates • Construction Package 2: Road and river work from Loveland to Drake • Emergency Responders From Oct. 17 until Memorial Day 2017, the canyon will be closed to through traffic.

The 3-mile closure will be east of Mile Point 80 and west of MP 77. To reach properties in the canyon, and travel between Estes Park and Loveland drivers should use the detour on US 36 and Colorado High-

way 66.

The only through access on US 34 will be for canyon residents and emergency services through a permit process. Residents will obtain permits and will be allowed through the canyon from 6 to 8:30 a.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. only. This permit distribution process is currently underway.

US 34 Big Thompson Canyon’s roads and bridges were heavily damaged during the 2013 floods with many homes damaged and over 100 air lifted evacuations. The canyon and its residents also suffered from flooding in 1976.

By Kris Hazelton

The annual elk rut has begun and the bull elk are already busy bugling, gathering their harems of females and challenging one another for breeding rights.

The elk are amazing and wonderous animals that are fun to watch but remember, these are wild animals competing for dominance and the bulls are especially “pumped-up” at this time of year.

Never block traffic. “Elk jams” are a danger to everyone – blocking traffic on single lane roads creates all kinds of potentially dangerous situations. Be sure to pull completely off the roadway, out of the way of through traffic.

Never, ever imitate an elk call or bugle during the rut. This can endanger you and the elk.

Please respect private property. Elk know no boundaries and are found all around town. If they are in a private homeowners yard, please watch the animals from a public area.

Never get between two bull elk. Situations can change very rapidly during the rut and you never want to be caught in between two rival animals.

Don’t ignore the cows, they can still be dangerous, any time of year, not just during calving season.

Remember – elk are wild animals. Be aware and be respectful.

View quietly from a safe distance. Never attempt to touch or feed wildlife, it’s dangerous and illegal.

Keep dogs leashed and quiet and when photographing, use your zoom, give them room.

Watch And Enjoy Elk Rut In Safety!

Avoid potential accident, injury or death by always viewing from a safe distance. If an animal is carefully watching you and appears “jumpy,” you are way too close.

Avoid eye contact and back away.

Raise your arms to make yourself look larger. For photographers, a good rule of thumb is “give them room, use your zoom.”

Keep you dog leashed and quiet.

Do not allow them to bark, lunge at or chase wildlife. Elk view your dog as a predator.

Town Encourages Public Participation In Budget Process The Estes Park Town Board will review the proposed 2016 Town budget during study sessions and public hearings in October and November. Study sessions are scheduled for Fridays Oct. 14 and 21 and will take place 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the Town Board Room of Town Hall, 170 MacGregor Avenue.

Budget public hearings take place during the Nov. 8 and 22 Town Board meetings. The public is encouraged to attend and comment at these public hearings, which take place at 7 p.m. in the Town Board Room. The public is encouraged to attend study sessions, although public comment is not part of the process until the Nov. 8 and 22 Town Board meetings. One exception is the Community Service Grants discussion, scheduled for Oct. 21, when public comments are encouraged.

Each October study session will include presentations on different funds within the Town government. The Oct. 14 study session will focus on General budget matters, Employment Compensation and Benefits, Transfers, Medical, Fleet, Information Systems (IT), Vehicle Replacement, General Fund Revenues, Executive, Legislative, Administrative Services, Employee Benefits, Judicial, Finance, Community Development, Cultural Services including Senior Center and Museum, Light and Power Fund, and Water Fund. The Oct. 21 study session will focus on Community Service Grants, Community Services including Visitor Center, Events (including the Multi- Purpose Event Center), and Transportation, Police, Facilities, Engineering, Streets, Trails Fund, Parks, Open Space Fund, Conservation Trust Fund, Community Recreation/Senior Center Fund, and the Community Reinvestment Fund.

Each year, the process begins with creating a budget schedule in April.

Next, departments review their budgets and potential needs for the following year. The departments then meet with the Town Administrator and Finance Director to begin assessing their needs.

Strategic planning meetings are held in June with the Mayor and Board of Trustees to determine priorities and give guidance in budget preparation. The Finance Director, working with the Town Administrator, then crafts the draft budget to be reviewed with the Town Board during the October budget study sessions. After the budget is approved in November, it is printed and submitted to the State of Colorado by the end of January.

The budget process requires Town staff and its elected Town Board to make difficult decisions to balance the Town’s limited revenues with the cost of providing its core services, as well as to consider the ever-growing demand for expanded public services. Although fewer than 6,000 residents live within Town limits, millions of guests also rely on the Town’s services. The Town keeps property taxes low for its residents -just 2.3 cents per dollar of property taxes paid in 2016. Instead, sales taxes drive the Town’s general fund revenue so that visitors can share the tax burden and support services like streets maintenance, parks, police services and many more.

Town of Estes Park financial information, including budgets and the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, are available at www.estes.org/finance.

Next Drug Collection Scheduled October 22 Police encourage safe disposal of unwanted prescription and over-thecounter drugs On Saturday, Oct. 22, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. the Town of Estes Park Police Department will offer Estes Park’s Drug Take Back Day to collect unused, unwanted and expired prescription and over-thecounter drugs for safe disposal — no questions asked.

This free service will be held at Rocky Mountain Pharmacy, located at 453 East Wonderview Ave. in Upper Stanley Village. Police officers will collect the drugs, which will remain in the custody of law enforcement officers until they can be incinerated.

Estes Park’s Drug Take Back Day is part of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s national campaign to provide a safe way for people to empty their medicine cabinets of unwanted and po-

tentially harmful prescription drugs. To find participating collection sites in other communities, visit www.dea.gov.

Misused and abused prescription drugs containing controlled substances can lead to cases of accidental poisoning,

overdose and addiction. The most recent National Survey on Drug Use and Health indicates that prescription medicines are the most abused drugs by Americans, next to marijuana. Seven of the 10 drugs most commonly abused by teenagers are prescription medicines and

three quarters of teen prescription drug abusers obtain the drugs from family and friends — often from a home medicine cabinet. Ridding homes of these substances greatly reduces the potential for abuse and accidental poisoning.

Items which cannot be accepted at the Drug Take Back Day collection sites are needles and sharps, mercury thermometers, oxygen containers, chemotherapy/radioactive substances, pressurized canisters and illicit drugs. For more information, please contact Officer Gregg Filsinger Jr. of the Estes Park Police Department at 970577- 3868 or at 970-586-4000.

EPNEWS.COM “It is essential!” a friend said in her e-mail to me. “Without it you will be considered a bore! A gorgon! An ice queen! You must start using the exclamation point!!!”

“Please, no,” I replied. “Not the worn out, juvenile, exclamation point,” I said. And then, to emphasize my point, I wrote, “I refuse!”

All these years I have done my best to avoid using the exclamation mark because I don’t want to cry wolf. Use it all the time and it loses its oomph, its heft, its impact; it becomes simply a period with a stem. I restrain myself, selectively finalizing a sentence with the punctuation of exclamation, so when it does show up, you know I mean it.

In the Middle Ages, before the printing press, those who copied text used it to end a sentence to indicate joy. (In Latin, the word io meant “hurray.” Gradually the i moved above the o, then the o shrank, and there we go. !.) It didn’t show up all over the page, and certainly not in multiples, back in the days when it was a symbol of wonderment.

It took centuries before the exclamation mark had it own dedicated key on manual typewriters. Until the 1970s, one had to type a period, then backspace and type an apostrophe. It’s no wonder ! was inserted sparingly: typing the three-step punctuation—called a bang—slowed a speedy 60words-a-minute to a crawl. (On today’s keyboards you couldn’t do that if you wanted to. I tried.)

Once our modern computer keyboards gave the exclamation point its own key (shared with the number 1) it became easier to use so it showed up more frequently on the page and screen. But then, because there it was, again and again, it became commonplace—almost invisible. So people started using two to get their point across.

Then three, then four, and now sometimes a typist falls asleep with her finger on the top row, far left key!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(One study shows that women use exclamation points, especially multiple exclamation points—called excitability markers— far more often than men do. Surprise, surprise.)

So here I am, happily holding back my exclamations until they are absolutely necessary and using the quite functional period instead.

Come to find out, I’m doing it all wrong.

By reserving my precious exclamation

point for special occasions (it is an exclamation after all), I’ve become a punctuation snob. Uh, I mean !

According to recent studies, those who finish a sentence with a period are considered insincere or standoffish, especially when texting. Punctuation belongs in the office where there is a level of convention and formality. We may be conversing with our boss and we must impress her.

Plus, what we put on the written page is associated with permanence, ergo, it needs the finality of a dot.

Texting, and to a lesser extent e-mailing, is used socially. We whip out our phones for the more casual exchanges and what pop up on our screens are abbreviations, slang and exclamation points.

“Last night was fun. Let’s get together again soon.” does not have the ring of sincerity as “Last nite ws fun! Lets get 2gthr again soon!!” That’s what linguists say, anyway. And to come off as bona fide, we’re not supposed to use the period either. It is considered deliberate, even curt.

“Want to go to Ed’s for lunch?”

“Fine.” is polite. End of discussion. Period.

“Fine” is agreeable. Open-ended.

“Fine!” is jovial. Yippee!

For those of us who are trained in the use of grammar and like to think we know when to use a semicolon, this is difficult.

Sure, I had fun last night and of course I’d like to go to Ed’s for lunch. But I just want to have a glass of wine, not get drunk. (No offense to those who have adapted to modern conversation techniques. I admire your ability to accept change. I’m a rules follower so it’s difficult to give up something I’ve worked hard to get “right.”)

I like the exactness of historically correct punctuation. I don’t want to use more than one exclamation point at the end of a sentence. I want it to mean something when I use it. But I certainly don’t want to come off as stone-hearted or anal-retentive. So what should I do? I will continue to explore. Experiment! Trial and error!!!!!!

And we’ve only scratched the surface.

What next?!

It’s Official! The Estes Valley Community Center Is Now Under Construction Adolfson and Peterson Construction, the general contractor for the much-anticipated project, began preliminary tasks such as establishing safety fencing and mobilizing heavy equipment this week.

Grading and other aspects of earthwork associated with the facility site plan are expected to begin early next week.

While site work is being performed, plans for the building will continue to be refined by the project’s architect of record, Ohlson Lavoie Collaborative. After gaining key development-review approvals from the Town of Estes Park in July and August, progress on construction documents has shifted into the final phases of development, with completion expected in late October.

Offerings of the 65,000 square-foot facility will include, among other things, multigenerational community space, including senior services, library resources, child care facilities, family and youth amenities, indoor gardening space, meeting rooms and gathering spaces. In addition, the facility will incorporate recreation space, including an indoor walking track, aquatics facilities, multipurpose gymnasium space, group exercise/fitness areas and locker/family changing rooms.

Construction of the $26.5 million facility will occur for approximately 15 months; the project address is 660 Community Drive (within the Estes Park School District R-3 campus). The com-

munity center will adjoin the existing aquatics center, which will be partially renovated in conjunction with the construction of the new facility.

The long-awaited project is the result of a successful Nov. 3, 2015 election, in which Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVRPD) voters approved a pair of supporting measures – Ballot Issues 4C and 4D. Ballot Issue 4C will provide up to $200,000 annually (for a limited, 10-year duration) to augment funding available for the operation and maintenance of the community center. Ballot Issue 4D has provided over $21 million in bond-sales revenue for constructing the facility. Additional funding from Ballot Measure 1A, which Town of Estes Park voters approved in April of 2014, will be also be used to offset project construc-

tion costs.

Due to the complicated nature of the venture and the limited staffing and resources available to administer the project effectively, soon after the election EVRPD pursued the hiring of an owner’s representative to manage the major aspects of the plan. Windsor-based RLH Engineering Inc. was hired late last year to serve in that capacity. The anticipated completion date for the community center is December 2017 or January 2018.

Correspondence and questions regarding the Estes Valley Community Center should be directed to Tom Carosello, EVRPD Executive Director, (970) 5868191 Ext. 6 or tomc@evrpd.com. More information on this project is also available at www.evrpd.com.

Sunrise Rotary Gives EPHS Cheerleaders Something To Cheer About Did you go to the football game? Did you see the cheerleaders? Why were they in Bobcat shirts instead of uniforms?

What’s going on?

Unknown to most students and residents in Estes Park, only weeks ago, the Estes Park High School cheerleading program was on the verge of collapse.

According to Athletic Director, Jeff Collins, “Once such a program collapses, it can be so difficult to revive, that doing so can take many, many years.”

Last year’s coach had resigned and moved out of state at the end of the season last Spring, and the program has suffered from coaching dysfunction ever since as multiple coaches didn’t work out. The last one resigned without notice just as school was beginning (though all but a handful of cheerleaders had already quit the squad by that point), placing the future of the entire program in question. Jeff Collins worked frantically to find a coach, to prevent the collapse of the program, knowing that every day that passed by decreased the likelihood of success. Three local women stepped up to try to help save the program by splitting the coaching role into three pieces--Brandi Applegate (cheerleading), Julie Bunton (dance), and Brittany Peterson (middle school teacher, with availability to attend all activities and events).

All three have waived the bulk of the funds that are usually paid to the cheerleading coach, in an attempt to help save the program. But coaches only matter if

gram. They have spent the last several weeks practicing double time, learning the basics, playing catchup, and perfecting cheers.

Of course, uniforms had to be ordered since over half of the squad was new, but they take up to 6 weeks to arrive. So the Bobcat Booster Club jumped in to help, providing matching shirts that the cheerleaders are using until uniforms arrive. But uniforms are nearly $300 each, and over half of the squad was new, and had therefore missed out on the opportunity to fundraise—leaving each new cheerleader (the majority of the new squad) with the whole bill. The Booster Club again stepped up, offering a loan to any cheerleaders who needed Marsha Groome from Sunrise Rotary presents Jeff one—but of course, the Collins (EPHS Athletic Director) a check for $1,900 for loan would have to be rethe cheerleading squad. Photo by Tony Bielat paid. students would step up and join the Enter, Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary squad…

Club… Once the club became aware of what had transpired, and of the efforts to Despite the former dysfunction, and despite being off to a very late start, thir- keep the program viable for the current squad, the current student body, and futeen students (12 girls, and 1 boy) have ture years, it wasted no time. Within a very courageously raised their hands, and have “stepped into the gap,” to meet day of hearing about the unique challenges facing the squad, it offered to dothe challenge head on, to save the pro-

nate $1,900 to the cheerleading program—approximately half the cost of uniforms. This tremendously generous donation will allow the cheerleaders to focus on catching up, rather than worrying about the financial burden of participation.

So, when you volunteer for, support, or even just attend an event sponsored by Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary Club, or when you donate to it, you are accomplishing many worthwhile things—not least of which, is that you personally helped save the EPHS Cheerleading Program. According to Brandi Applegate, “There are just no words for how meaningful this donation is for the squad— obviously financially, but also just knowing that the community is behind them, supporting them during a difficult period of time while they work so hard to get the program where it needs to be.”

So if you see a Rotarian, pat him/her on the back, and say thank you for making a tremendous difference in our community. If you see a cheerleader, even if he/she is in a Bobcat shirt instead of a uniform, or a used uniform that doesn’t match because it was borrowed from former cheerleaders, or even if the cheers aren’t quite competition level yet, please take the time to give them a thumbs up, and tell them how great they are doing, and how much you appreciate their saving the cheerleading program for our little town of Estes Park. Go Bobcats!

Estes Park’s 16th Annual Thanksgiving Community Gathering

In 2001, Larraine Darling and Steve Misch teamed up to provide Thanksgiving dinner to locals that wanted to share Thanksgiving with their community. The first few years the Thanksgiving Community Gathering was held at Notchtop Café. In 2005, it moved to Mountain View Bible Fellowship. In the following years, this event has grown to include musicians and face-painters.

Fifteen years later, the event has grown to serve over 600 meals at Mountain View Bible Fellowship with an additional 130 meals delivered to the community.

We do this with over 80 volunteers and 42 turkeys.

This year we are proud to announce that we have been approved as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. All do-

nations we receive now will be tax deductible.

Anyone that would like a Thanksgiving meal delivered, please contact Steve Misch. We will be delivering meals beginning at 11 a.m.

If you would like to donate to our homemade goodie table, donations can be dropped off at Mountain View on Wednesday November 23rd.

We look forward to see you all on Thanksgiving, The Thanksgiving Community Gathering committee.

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

Fire Management staff at Rocky Mountain National Park have completed 75 acres of cutting and stacking on the Mill Creek to Glacier Creek Fuels Reduction Project this summer. These piles are scheduled to be burned this winter as conditions allow. Work will continue on this project through the fall and into next summer with an additional 123 acres remaining to be completed on this project.

Last fall, 229 acres of cutting and stacking was completed on the Deer Mountain Fuels Reduction Project near Deer Junction. These piles are also scheduled to be burned this winter as conditions allow.

An additional 368 acres along the park boundary north and east of Deer Mountain are scheduled to be cut and stacked

starting this fall and completed next summer. Other upcoming manual fuels reduction projects include; 40 acres in the Sprague Lake area, and 40 acres around Bear Lake and Glacier Gorge parking.

Work will include removing dead trees, the lower limbs of remaining trees, ladder fuels, dead and down logs, and the removal of selected trees to increase canopy spacing. Resulting woody materials will be piled on site and burned in the following winters or may be used next year or in upcoming years for firewood permits, depending on location.

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

HOW DO YOU PROTEST? We hear a lot about ‘protests’ these days. I’m sure each of us has formed some opinions about and attitudes toward such. I thought it might be ‘timely’, if not necessarily ‘desirable’, to touch upon the subject. If you are sick of hearing and reading about them you won’t be pleased with another mention of them, so feel free to move on. Check in with me next week. I promise I’ll try to do better. However, maybe it will be good to think about how we would, or probably do, ‘protest’…even if it is just against ‘protestors’.

One of the ‘protests’ I was reminded of recently was one I saw in the ‘Despicable Me’ children’s movie (which I love). Agnes, the littlest of the cute girls in the movie, has just lost her unicorn doll. When her replacement request is denied, Agnes ‘protests’. She, with great fanfare, holds her breath, promptly keeling over…with one eye open to see if her ‘protest’ is working. It does, and she gets her way…and her unicorn.

Is this similar to what is happening in our day and world? An NFL player ‘sits’ during the patriotic activities before his game. Then…perhaps after noticing that there were limited repercussions…a lost endorsement and a few negative comments from around the nation… others joined in the ‘protest’ by kneeling or thrusting fists skyward, during those nation-honoring activities. Other athletes in other sports have been ‘inspired’ to follow suit and others have been pressured or encouraged to do the same. Thankfully, many seem to be asking: “What positive good will it do?” or, “How will I know that it has accomplished its purpose?” Those are good questions! If I wanted to ‘protest’ Global Warming, the AIDS or abuse of drugs epidemics, or rampant violence in our cities, how would I know I had accomplished my purpose? Richard Sherman of the Seahawks implied that we don’t and won’t, because “People are not listening!”

Could it be that there are some almost ‘unwinnable’ wars, like those above…and injustice? Man’s ‘inhumanity to man’ started when Cain, Adam and Eve’s oldest son, killed his brother Abel early on in history. Will current ‘protests’ make all people put down their weapons and quit committing robberies, murders, and other mayhem? Will they prevent unnecessary deaths of citizens or police? Or will they encourage people to move on to the next level of protests, such as we are seeing in Charlotte and Baltimore and other cities? This is the way many ‘protest’. How well I remember the Watts riots!

In the midst of such ‘protests’ it is refreshing to listen to the words of one notable athlete who was asked his position on such. Cam Newton, who refused to ‘protest’ hits our Denver Bronco players laid on him recently, was asked about his position on this subject. He said, “We are all different and have the right to feel any way we want to…I’m an African American. That’s black and proud to the day I die and I try to make an impact in my community as much as I can.

How are you making a difference? It all goes for nothing if we don’t all police ourselves and love one another no matter what the race is! We all have to do better and be held accountable for our actions…police included. I’m not here to talk about race, I’m here to talk about what’s right!!!

And we all have to do what’s right, no matter our race, age or gender!” Good advice! Thanks, Cam! Bob

New Great Courses Series: The Age Of Rembrandt The Town of Estes Park’s Senior Services Division is pleased to offer a Great Courses Lecture Series entitled Dutch Masters: The Age of Rembrandt.

Video lectures will be taught by Professor William Kloss, an Independent Art Historian.

Local resident Lois Sumey will facilitate discussion. The 18-week course will be held on Mondays beginning October 10 from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. at the Estes Park Senior Center, 220 Fourth Street.

The course is free and open to the public. Participants may attend any or all sessions; no registration is required. Stop by the Senior Center for a complete list of each week’s course topics.

According to Professor Kloss, Holland in the 17th century was home to the most remarkable concentration of artistic talent and accomplishment in modern history. From this tiny land came the great masters Vermeer, Frans Hals, Jan Steen, Pieter de Hooch, Rembrandt, and other memorable artists. To this day, these compelling pictures take our breath away—an unrivalled heritage of portraits, still lifes, landscapes, marine paintings, and profoundly observant images of everyday Dutch life that continue

to grace museums throughout Europe and America.

This 36-lecture course will introduce participants to the art of 17th century Holland. Trace the development of the renowned, independent school of painting and the great seafaring nation that produced the new society that would be reflected in that new art. Professor Kloss will show the works of more than 100 artists and more than 450 masterful paintings. Painting by painting, participants will see how each artist’s technical choices about composition, lighting, color, or brush stokes contribute to a work’s overall impact and statement. The course concludes with the achievements of Holland's greatest and most versatile genius, Rembrandt, whose range of work, including his remarkable etchings, claims the final seven lectures.

This DVD lecture series is produced by The Great Courses, a twenty-six-year-old educational company dedicated to producing engaging audio and video lectures by professors from leading universities.

For more information, please contact the Estes Park Senior Center at (970) 586-2996 or visit the Center at 220 Fourth Street, Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Please visit the Senior Center website at www.estes.org/seniorcenter.

October Activity Line-Up At The Estes Park Museum Miner Bill and The Blue Mist: Remembering an Estes Park Legend at The O'Connor Pavilion at 1700 Fish Hatchery Road, Estes Park on Saturday, October 1 from 2 - 3:30 p.m.

Bizarre three-toed claw-marks etched on trees. A reclusive mountain miner and a strange blue haze breaking through the clouds. These are few of the elements of what is perhaps this valley's most famous fireside legend.

Storyteller Kurtis Kelly will perform a special re-telling of "The Legend of the Blue Mist" in a campfire setting. Since the story was first told in the 1940s, thousands of Estes Park area visitors have been intrigued and entertained by "The Blue Mist" at campfire gatherings, often at places like the Fall River Lodge, Steads Ranch, and at the livery of the YMCA of the Rockies. It was local cowboy-wrangler Bill Robinson who created the legend, utilizing the central character of William "Miner Bill" Currence (ca.

1868-1951), a real-life figure from the area's history. Today, many remember Robinson as a master storyteller - some were there to hear him tell the story firsthand. While Robinson created "The Blue Mist" as a fictional tale, it is framed with references to local history as well as allusions to the natural yet strangely sudden weather phenomena that occur near mountain valleys and ridges.

Joining Kelly for "The Blue Mist" program is local musician and songwriter

Steve Smersh. Interspersed within the narrative of the story, Smersh will perform his original song trilogy, inspired by the legend of "Miner Bill". Especially suited to the campfire setting, the music interludes will feature the songs "Top of the Canyon," "Miner Bill's Cabin," and "The Boat that We Row." Smersh will reflect on the legend that became the inspiration for his trilogy.

The program will take place at the picnic grounds behind the Historic Fall River Hydroplant on Fish Hatchery Road, and the event is sponsored by the Estes Park Museum. Cost is $5 for Museum Members and children or $7 for non-members. No reservations are necessary; admission can be paid for in cash or check on the day of the program. Attendees should plan to bring jackets or rain gear to prepare for any weather changes during the outdoor event.

Marshmallows for roasting by the fire will be provided. Parking is available behind the picnic shelter, signage will guide drivers. For those who may have difficulty walking down a hill to the picnic area, some parking is available in the lot by the Hydroplant, located at 1754 Fish Hatchery Road.

Meet Me @ The Museum with the Museum Director on Monday, October 3 from 1:30 - 2:30 p.m.

Join Estes Park Museum Director Derek Fortini as he revisits the 20092010 temporary exhibit Rocky Moun-

tain Elk: A Local History.

The presentation will explore elk as a specie, how the local population was decimated in the late 1800s, and how they were reintroduced to Estes Park in 1913 and 1915.

Meet Me @ The Museum encourages all of us to be curious about the history of Estes Park. Museum staff includes the community in their local history findings and current projects. Get involved with the Museum staff 's topic of choice by participating in Meet Me @ the Museum events.

The Story of Culturally Modified Trees in Rocky Mountain National Park: Can you imagine being so hungry you would eat the bark off of a tree? Program on Saturday, October 29 from 3 - 4 p.m.

Starvation is just one of the explanations for the Culturally Modified Trees (CMTs) found in Rocky Mountain National Park and throughout Colorado. These trees were peeled or modified, primarily by Native Americans, in the seventeenth through the early twentieth centuries. The inner and outer bark was used for a variety of purposes including food, medicine, building materials, and to construct objects such as trays and baskets. The pitch and sap were utilized medicinally as adhesives and for waterproofing baskets and other objects. The pitchy wood from the peeled areas on these trees was used as a fire-starter.

Wooden slabs were also pried from peeled trees to make items such as cradleboards and saddle frames.

Other CMTs were blazed or delimbed along trails. This presentation will describe the importance of CMTs to archaeologists researching the protohistoric/historic period in Rocky Mountain National Park and throughout Colorado.

Marilyn Martorano is the principal archaeologist of Martorano Consultants LLC in Longmont and has over 40 years of experience in cultural resource management in the Rocky Mountain region. She is a Registered Professional Archaeologist and received the 2015 Colorado State Archaeologist’s Award for her work with CMTs. Located at 200 Fourth Street, the Estes Park Museum galleries are open through October 31 on Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. The mission of the Estes Park Museum is to conduct activities that preserve, share and respect the unique history of Estes Park. For more information, call the Estes Park Museum at 970-586-6256 or visit the Museum’s website at www.estes.org/museum.

The winning team included Carol and Jim Nussbaumer and Dianne and Norm Tempel, with a “best ball” score of only 17 strokes for nine holes!

A Big, Heartfelt Thank You To Baby Bottle Campaign Supporters

Every year from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day, Life Choices Pregnancy Center holds a baby bottle campaign to raise funds for men, women and children in the Estes Valley.

The funds raised by our participants finance obstetrical ultrasounds, pregnancy tests, education in schools, post abortion counseling and healing classes. We also provide layette boxes for new mothers as well as clothing and diapers for children under 12 months old.

This year we were so blessed to have twelve churches participating as well as three businesses! Way to go Estes Park!

The following churches participated this year; Allenspark Community, Christian Church, Estes Park Baptist, Mountain View Bible, Mount Calvary Lutheran, New Covenant, Our Lady of the Mountains, Park Fellowship, Rocky Mountain, Saint Francis of Assisi, Summit and United Methodist.

The following businesses participated this year; Aspen Winds on Fall River, Reel Mountain Theater and Smokin’ Daves BBQ! Thank you kindly for sowing into our ministry.

The winner of the 2016 Baby Bottle Campaign goes to; Our Lady of the Mountains with a grand total of $2,521.71 given to Life Choices! Our Lady of the Mountains really rocked it.

Close runners up were Rocky Mountain Church in 2nd place and Christian Church of Estes Park in 3rd place. Outstanding!

Pictured below is Father Joseph Cao who was born in Vietnam of Catholic parents in 1964. He is the second oldest of eight children. Growing up in Vietnam, he was taught by the Dominican Sisters and at the young age of seven, he felt Jesus speak to his heart about becoming a priest.

In 1975, Joseph and his family (his mom, grandmother, and the six kids at that time) were forced to flee Vietnam and boarded a fishing boat owned by his uncle and headed out to sea. The 20-foot boat held 60 people on board many of whom were women and children. Everyone was packed in like sardines and were even shot at but thankfully nobody was injured.

After several days on the sea, they ran out of food and water while experiencing extreme weather conditions. After five days, they were rescued by an American cargo ship.

The cargo ship took the refugees to the Island of Guam, where they stayed for two weeks before relocating to a refugee camp in Arkansas. It was there that they learned English.

Later Joseph attended college in Denver where he earned a degree in electronic engineering but he knew this wasn’t his calling and God had another plan.

Joseph attended Conception Seminary College in Missouri for two years and then transferred to Mundelein Seminary near Chicago. Joseph then completed his seminary formation in 2000 and was or-

dained a priest for the Archdiocese of Denver on July 1, 2000.

Father Joseph’s first assignment was as a priest at St. Mary’s in Littleton. Over the last thirteen years, Father Joseph has been the lead pastor of St. Joan of Arc in Arvada.

Today Father Joseph serves as lead pastor of Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church located at 920 Big Thompson Ave. Welcome Father Joseph!

Next in line is Nancy Almus, who hails from Michigan and has lived in Estes Park for two years. She was a former special education teacher and bookkeeper.

She currently attends Our Lady of the Mountains, volunteers at church, the Newcomer’s Club and Life Choices.

Nancy is one of Life Choices very valued laundresses, decorator, donor and all around amazing part of our team!

Pictured next to Nancy is Joanne Knight who is the new pastoral assistant for Our Lady of the Mountains Church.

She and her husband Michael live in Drake and have been members of the parish since 2012. Joanne was born in Wichita, KS where she attended Wichita State University and earned a BS in social work. She worked in the field for 19 years and retired to raise her three sons. Later, Joanne worked in several medical offices and recently worked as a surgical coordinator for the Estes Park Medical Center.

Joanne was very excited when she received the call to serve OLM as the pastoral assistant. The parishioners have welcomed Joanne warmly and I personally love working with her too! Welcome Joanne!

Claire Kreider attended Penn State University and earned a BA in physical sciences and worked as a computer support specialist for 24 years on campus. She also served as a network administrator for two years in a parochial school. She and her husband have lived in Estes Park for a total of 12 years. She has been a member of OLM for 12 twelve years and volunteers for funeral ministry, helps facilitate Bible studies, a

women’s study and served as a data entry and all around volunteer at Caring Pregnancy Center and Life Choices for 8 ½ years.

Claire was very instrumental in transitioning our data during our very intense and difficult transition from Caring Pregnancy to Life Choices. She is also a donor and all around volunteer!

Pete McKellar has lived in Estes Park for 15 years and attends Rocky Mountain Church. He has a master’s degree in Biblical counseling and spent 10 years working in organizational management and an additional 10 years as a counselor. He serves as a client advocate who meets with our male clients and couples. He fills a very important niche in our ministry.

This year Pete managed our baby bottle campaign where he met with several churches, shared our mission, organized our campaign and brought new churches into the fold. Pete is a huge blessing in our ministry and our very first male advocate! Thank you Pete!

Thank you to all our churches and volunteers who made our campaign so successful this year. We couldn’t have done it without you!

FreeCycle Estes And Electronics Recycle October 8 Both FreecycleEstes and a local E-Cycle are scheduled for Saturday, October 8th, at the Estes Park Fairgrounds. Look for the Freecycle in the Portastall near the Grandstand and the E-Cycle in the nearby parking area. Donations to the Freecycle begin at 8 a.m., and free shopping at FreecycleEstes is from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. The E-Cycle will be available from 9 a.m. until the dumpster is full.

The E-Cycle, which has been requested

by Estes Park residents, is an extra effort of the League of Women Voters and Community Recycling Committee. In case you are unaware of this fact, it is illegal to put electronics in the trash in Colorado. These items contain toxic substances that can contaminate our groundwater. Because it is labor-intensive to disassemble electronics due to hazardous materials, there is a cost to recycle your electronics. If this is a concern to you, think about this before you buy a new electronic item. When it’s outlived its usefulness, you will have to pay to throw it away safely.

We are indebted to Rocky Mountain Dumpsters for ferrying the E-Cycle materials to CHaRM in Boulder, which is a state-licensed recycler.

At Northern Tier High Adventure in Ely, MN, Scott canoed and portaged over 125 miles with his fellow crew members from Estes Park. Scott also has earned 53 merit badges.

One of the requirements of an Eagle Scout is to demonstrate leadership with a meaningful Eagle Scout project. Scott chose to build a Church Community Fire Ring at Our Lady of the Mountains.

Creativity At The Library Thirty years ago at the public library, kids were playing with books, puppets, puzzles and manipulative toys while adults browsed through books, magazines and music. New state-of-the-art library buildings offered lovely meeting spaces with gigantic projection screens for presentations and movies, and craft rooms for kids with adorable little tables and teeny tiny sinks. During story times the glue and paint came out and children had some of their first opportunities to “create.”

There were always experiments underway, librarians were helping children explore various aspects of science by doing experiments, and the first public Internet computers were appearing. In those days, library patrons were somewhat at a loss as to what to do with those computers, and librarians began to show them.

Libraries and librarians were on the cusp of incredible technology changes that would impact everyone.

Even before these new innovative (at the time) library buildings were constructed, creativity was already a part of the public library role. We don’t think about it much, but consider the inclusion in library collections of books on cooking, painting, landscaping, computing, and creative writing. Libraries have always worked to fuel and nurture community creativity through collections, programs, and activities. The very first libraries, often private and created by the wealthy, for the wealthy, always included

Fall Gold

the curiosities of the world, from which their owners and their close friends could learn.

Creative thinking in libraries isn’t just for kids; it’s for adults as well. Trends in public libraries are sending us towards creating formal spaces just for creative expression and learning. The “maker” trend has put a catchy label on these designated spaces. These spaces have inspired expanded adult learning beyond the basics of computer classes, tax information, and writing workshops. At many libraries across the country, you’ll find knitting classes, painting and home brewing workshops, and much, much more. If you can think of a creative learning idea, your public library will very likely entertain the idea of bringing that wish to fruition.

During September, at our very own Estes Valley Library, we’ve shared with you the tip of the iceberg when it comes to creative programs. There were creative opportunities for all ages this month, from painting art tiles, to LEGOs, to a virtual reality workshop and an Avant Garbage fashion day ... and we are just getting started.

As the Estes Valley Library begins a second hundred years of library service, we invite you to join us in reimagining our public spaces and our programming, with an eye to cultivating that creative person in all of us. Gather, Learn and Grow at Your Estes Valley Library.

Complacency A Risk You Can’t Afford One of biggest risks to your financial stability is plain and simple complacency – that smug feeling of satisfaction that everything is going to be just fine.

When the bills are getting paid, the job feels secure, economic indicators are pointing toward growth, there’s plenty of food on the table and a little money left over for some fun - it’s hard to think about the “what ifs” that may be lurking in the future.

Although many are still struggling, as a county we’ve recovered from the great recession of 2008-9. We should expect that we’ve learned the hard lessons of our financial mistakes and taken steps to protect ourselves. After all, the “good times” are exactly the “best time” to work toward a more secure financial future.

But has financial literacy improved since 2008? Sadly, studies show it has not. American Consumer Credit Counseling ranks the U.S. 14th on the global list of financially literate countries (behind Israel, Canada, Australia, Singapore, and much of Europe). According to the study, only 57% of Americans receive a passing grade on basic concepts needed for personal money management. Over half of Americans are stumped by the simplest financial questions.

Are schools providing more access to personal financial education? The Council for Economic Education’s 2016 Survey of the States shows minimal growth in personal finance education requirements in recent years, with little improvement in economic understanding among high school graduates.

Are we better prepared to meet financial emergencies? Sadly, a resounding

“no!” The Federal Reserve Board’s most recent survey to “monitor the financial and economic status of American consumers” asked respondents how they would pay for a $400 emergency. The answer: 47% said they either would cover the expense by borrowing or selling something, or they simply could not come up with the $400 at all. That’s a very slim emergency fund for the “what ifs” of everyday life.

Are we saving for our future dreams?

College education for our children? A new car or home? A comfortable retirement? Again, the answer is “no!” Evidence suggests that over half of those retiring today have less than $50,000 in financial assets to support them through a possible 30-year retirement.

Millennials are saving earlier than prior generations, but most are putting away far less than the recommended 10% of one’s salary.

The bottom line: there is important work to be done during the good times.

Improving our financial knowledge and putting plans into place that will protect us when the next downturn or disaster happens (whether personal or nationwide) is a task for the present. While times are good, avoid complacency.

Take time to build for your future safety and peace of mind.

Your Library is offering a full array of free financial education classes this fall, with the Beginning Series, “Money Matter I and II,” starting September 28 and continuing with the core five-part series – covering everything you need to know about managing your money – beginning Thursday, October 20th.

Avoid complacency- check the calendar at estesvalleylibrary.org and register for one or more of the classes today.

Protect Your Property With A Year End Tax Deduction With cooler weather approaching, you may be more inclined to perform work outside around your home. While you are at it, consider taking measures to mitigate the risk around your home or property from wildfire. Although fires have not been as prevalent locally as in past years, it always remains a risk.

Since 2008, the State of Colorado has provided an income tax deduction to property owners for undertaking this type of work. The deduction is available each year through 2024 and is the lesser of 1) $2,500, 2) owner's taxable income for the year, or 3) 50% of the owner's out-of-pocket expenses.

The types of costs that qualify include: Creating or maintaining a defensible space around structures

Establishing fuel breaks Thinning of woody vegetation to reduce risk to structures Chipping, removing or prescribed burning of woody fuels To qualify, the property must be located in Colorado and within a "Wildland-Urban Interface Area." Most areas along the Front Range, particularly the foothills and mountains will qualify.

Contact your local fire department or fire protection district to make sure.

Be sure to keep receipts as the Department of Revenue may request copies along with proof of property ownership.

For more information, contact Mueller & Associates, CPA at (970) 667-1070.

We are located at 1182 Graves Ave, Unit C-1, Estes Park, CO.

Leonard Arnold Leonard Joseph Arnold, 69, passed away at his home in Westminster, Colorado, on September 15, 2016, after a valiant fight with lung disease.

Leonard was born in San Diego, and grew up in Colorado Springs, graduating from Wasson High School in 1965. In 1969, he married his high school sweetheart, Judy Keeton. They celebrated their 46th wedding anniversary two weeks before his death. After high school, he attended Colorado State University, and graduated in 1970 with a degree in Construction Management. He began his career at GE Johnson Construction in Colorado Springs in 1970, achieving the position of Vice President before leaving in 1979 to work for Hensel Phelps Construction in Greeley. During most of his years with Hensel Phelps, Leonard led the Work Procurement group, proposing and obtaining contracts for many large design/build projects such as the Denver International Airport, Denver Convention Center and Elitch Gardens. After leaving Hensel Phelps as a Vice President in 1994, Leonard started his own firm, Elk Ridge Consultants. He built an upscale condominium development along the Estes Park Golf Course, and single family homes in the Estes Valley before moving his focus to building facilities for charter schools along the Front Range. With his friend Teri Oates, he assisted the schools with arranging financing, finding locations, and managing the design and construction process as an ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative. Some of his projects include Woodrow Wilson Academy, Flagstaff Academy, Highline Academy, Crown Pointe Academy, Lincoln Academy and Global Village Academy. Although Leonardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s professional success was important to him, his heart truly belonged to the world of auto racing.

He began building stock race cars during high school, and then developed an interest in vintage racing.

He restored many cars, selling some to other enthusiasts and racing some himself in the Rocky Mountain Vintage Racing association. His professional world and his racing world met in 1990, when Hensel Phelps Construction was chosen to build the track for the Denver Grand Prix IndyCar event in downtown Denver.

There he met a young driver who would change Leonardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus to building a race car that would set the record time to the top of the mountain in the International Pikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peak Hill Climb. Leonard built a

team and openwheel car, driven

by Paul Dallenbach, that set the overall world record in 1993, with seven division wins, and two overall victories through the years. After developing lung disease, Leonard was no longer able to attend the race, due to the altitude, but continued supporting his friends Kevin Kidwell and Spencer Steele by building custom carbon fiber body pieces for their Hill Climb team until the week before his death.

Leonard adored his three grandchildren, Brennen, Declan and Eva, and enjoyed taking them on road trips such as fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, attending Lego conferences in Seattle, and exploring cities like Kansas City, San Diego, Minneapolis and Branson. He was a big part of their lives, and he will be deeply missed. Leonardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generosity, big heart and Christian spirit touched many people throughout his life. He was the first to offer help when a rival race car team had a problem the night before a race â&#x20AC;&#x201C; often pitching in to help make repairs, donating parts, and always freely offering his wealth of knowledge. He was known for finding work for people who needed it, and sticking with them as a mentor. He sometimes quietly made rent payments, sent Christmas gifts to families having a tough year, hired attorneys for legal help, paid medical bills and arranged car repairs. He especially had a heart for the homeless, and gave generously and often with a word of encouragement.

Memorial contributions may be made in Leonardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name to Cold Weather Care, a program in Adams County that houses, feeds, comforts and supports the homeless in area churches from October-April. Information about this essential program can be found at https://coldweathercare.org.

Leonard is survived by his wife, Judy Arnold, his daughter and sonin-law Alyssa and Christopher Ericksen, and grandchildren Brennen, Declan and Eva Ericksen, of Westminster, Colorado, as well as his sister and brother-in-law Patricia and Ronald Oldham of Bemidji, Minnesota.

A Celebration of Leonardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held on Wednesday, October 12 at 11:00 a.m. at Northern Hills Church, 5061 E. 160th Ave. (Highway 7) in Brighton, Colorado.

Ella Belle Coyle Ella Belle Coyle, 91, died on September 17, 2016 after a brief stay in Prescott, Arizona.

Ella Belle was born October 25, 1924 in Madison, South Dakota, but moved to Denver, Colorado in 1947, where she resided most of her adult life.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 67 years, Wilbur (Bill) Coyle, and her daughter, Nancy Maureen Karr. She is survived by her daughters, Linda Coyle Sims, Muriel de Ganahl and her husband Clay de Ganahl; her grandchildren, Natasha Ryan, Amy Coulson, Jessica Herstek and her husband Mark Herstek, Claire Sims, Christopher Sims, and Katherine Sims; as well as her great-grandsons Josiah Coulson and Maximus Herstek.

Ella Belle attended college at the University of South Dakota and worked throughout her life as a professional secretary in a variety of settings. The Coyles spent several years in Washington, DC where Ella Belle worked for the Department of State. Her exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail led her to be invited to Geneva with the American contingent to the SALT talks during the 1970s.

Her children and grandchildren knew that good manners and impeccable grammar were important foundations

upon which she built her career. Her notorious Christmas lists written in shorthand remain a mystery to this day.

Ella Belle and Wilbur loved the Colorado mountains and owned a cabin in Estes Park while the girls were young. They retired to Estes Park in 1989, where Ella Belle was involved in Newcomers, Friends of the Library, the Children’s Center, PEO, and enjoyed a unique group of friends called The Tacky Birds (you know who you are).

Ella Belle cannot be summed up by this mere list of accomplishments, however. She was a woman of strength and character who was a passionate partner and loyal friend. She thought of life as an opportunity for growth, and tackled challenges head-on. She thought deeply about the meaning of life and believed in the power of love.

She danced, laughed, explored, wondered, and marveled at mysterious coincidences: seeing in each of us the image of God. There will be a memorial service for Ella Belle’s family and friends on Saturday, October 22, 2016 at 10 a.m. in the Dannen Chapel of the YMCA of the Rockies, Estes Park, Colorado. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Maggie’s Hospice, 314 North Alarcon, Prescott, AZ 86301.

Judith Schreiber Estes Park resident Judy Schreiber died on September 21, 2016, at the Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland. Judith Ann Schreiber was born on May 28, 1940, in Sioux City, Iowa, to Eugene G. Coombs and Nancy (Wilcox) Coombs. Not long after, they moved to Wichita, Kansas, where Judy grew up and attended school, graduating from Wichita East High School in 1957. She received her undergraduate and masters degrees from Wichita State University and earned her Ph.D. in chemistry from Arizona State University. Judy married Ken Schreiber on May 10, 1975, making their home in Ransom, Kansas. Ken owned a tax business where they both worked as tax preparers until they retired and moved to Estes Park in 2003.

Judy was a member of St. Aloysius Catholic Church in Ransom, KS, and Our Lady of the Mountains after moving to Estes Park. She was very active in

music at both churches.

She loved the Denver Broncos, model trains, and Cheley Camp, but most of all, she loved spending time with her grandson Bryson. Judy is survived by her daughter Anne (Craig) Dewey of Estes Park and her grandchildren Bryson and Emma. She is also survived by her brother Russ Coombs of Cinnaminson, NJ. She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband Ken, and her brother Gene.

A Memorial Mass was held on Monday, September 26, 2016, at 10:00 a.m. at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church in Estes Park. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Judy’s name to the Kansas Specialty Dog Service in care of Allnutt Funeral Service, 1302 Graves Avenue, Estes Park, CO 80517.

See www.allnutt.com to send a message to Judy’s family.

Dorothy Schanhals We would like to announce the passing of Dorothy Mae Schanhals in Haxtun, Colorado on Sept. 21, 2016.

Dorothy was born in Fort Morgan, Colorado on July 6, 1925 to Alec and Marie. Dorothy was preceded in death by her mother when she was ten. Growing up in the depression her father lost the farm and went on the road as part of the great migration to California. Dorothy stayed in Colorado and was raised by her grandparents in Windsor, Colorado on the Greenwald family farm. That is where she met Reuben (Duke) Schanhals and was married in 1943 at the age of 17.

Dorothy graduated from high school in Windsor and went on the road to be with Duke in California, New York and Virginia. At the end of the war, Dorothy and Duke landed in Estes Park where they lived from 1945 until 2007. Many remember Dorothy working in the Gartner Haus on Hwy. 34 and various retail shops in Estes Park. She loved people, her infectious smile and laugh was contagious. Dorothy was a Den mother, Girl Scout helper, and in the 840 club at the American Legion. She was one of the ladies in the clown suits for Santa Claus at the annual American

Legion Christmas holiday event. Bible study, children’s ministry and Vacation Bible School were her passion. Dorothy and Duke were members of the Community Church of the Rockies. Dorothy was always doing something for the community she loved.

After Duke passed in 2006 she stayed one more year in Estes Park but had to move to the assisted living in Loveland where many of her friends would come and visit. Dorothy moved back to Estes Park in 2011 and resided at the nursing home there until the flood of 2013 and we moved Dorothy to Haxtun in the spring of 2014. Dorothy passed away in the arms of those who loved her. She is survived by her daughter Kallee Peterson, son Jeff Schanhals, grandchildren Jonah Daley, Rebeccah Gurule, Aaron Schanhals, Jared Schanhals, and five great grandchildren. She was loved by many others in her travels between nursing homes, she made friends easily, all of whom were glad to see her every day and her passing leaves an empty spot in our hearts. Together again with her beloved Duke.

We will celebrate Dorothy's life in the privacy of our home.

Craig Lee Duell Craig Lee Duell, a longtime Estes Park resident, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, September 20, 2016, in his home with family by his side. Craig was born on September 1, 1961 in Greeley, CO to Lloyd Edwin and Georgia Lee (Lockard) Duell, who moved the family to Estes Park a short time thereafter. He graduated from Estes Park High School in 1979 with a passion for sports and an established reputation for athleticism. Craig enlisted in the United States Air Force as an Aerial Delivery Specialist. Buck Sergeant Duell’s expertise was critical in the Air Force’s ability to successfully resupply the U.S. Special Forces fighting in Afghanistan. Craig remained in close contact with several of his service mates and frequently attended reunions in Altus, Oklahoma.

Upon his return to Estes Park he met his soon-to-be wife Shauna Joyce Edwards, daughter of J. Renz and Mary (Jessen) Edwards. The two were wed on June 7, 1986, at St. Bartholomew’s Church. They had two sons, Taylor Lloyd and Jordan Renz, who grew to share their father’s passion in sports and hunting. In time, Craig’s involvement with his children’s athletic careers would lead to his being one of the main advocates for Estes Park High School’s baseball and wrestling programs. His other interests included hunting and training hunting dogs for various excursions with his family. He and his sons also shared time restoring classic muscle cars including their 1970 Plymouth Road Runner and 1964 Ford Mustang.

Craig’s non-military career resided largely in excavation where he honed his skill for building and creating structures through employments with Nytes, Gavell, and Fairbanks excavat-

ing companies. His success and expertise in excavation was also shared by his brother Dale, which ultimately led to the formation of Duell Excavating. The familyowned business provided various earth-moving services to individuals and businesses throughout Larimer County and the eastern slope. Craig’s sociability, charisma, and welcoming nature were ever-present in his business relations and personal life.

His impact on his family, friends, and the Estes Park community are lasting and he will be truly missed.

Craig is preceded in death by father Lloyd and survived by mother Georgia, wife Shauna and sons Taylor and Jordan in addition to his four siblings: Marilyn with three children December, Haley with husband Ryan and child Lorelei, and Jared; Jim with wife Lisa; Carol with husband Marc and two children Aaron and Allison; Dale with wife Shaleen and two children Alexandra and Trevyn. On the Edwards side, he is survived by Shauna’s father Renz and mother Mary and her two siblings: Robyn with husband Jeff and four children David with wife Becky and three children, Micah, Josia and Zachary; Daniel, Josh and Stephen; Melody with husband Jack and three children Shane, Austin and Faith; and Aunt Phyllis Edwards.

A celebration of Craig’s life was held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 29, 2016 at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church located at 880 MacGregor Ave. in Estes Park, CO. Memorial contributions can be made to the Ben St. John GoFundMe.com account established online under “Craig Duell's Memorial Service Cost.”

Rev. William Shirey The Rev. William C. Shirey of Estes Park, CO died September 14, 2016 after a short illness. Bill was born in El Reno, OK in 1929 to George J. and Lovell Hays Shirey in Chickasha, OK. His parents moved the family to El Reno, OK shortly thereafter. Bill spent his school years in the public schools there, graduating in 1947.

Bill had a very strong work ethic, beginning at an early age delivering newspapers, selling magazines door-to-door and many other such jobs. His years as a Boy Scout (earning the Eagle Scout award) influenced him further. The fact that his two older brothers and two brothers-in-law all served in World War II undoubtedly prompted his decision to enlist in the Oklahoma National Guard in 1946. When the 45th Infantry Division was mobilized for active duty in Korea, Bill, having attained the rank of Master Sergeant, went with them.

When he returned from Korea, he continued in the Guard, later receiving a commission as a Second Lieutenant. At that time he also continued his education, graduating from El Reno Junior College, then furthering his education at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma. In 1954 he received a Bachelor of Arts degree, and then went on to earn a Juris Doctorate from The University of Oklahoma Law School in 1956. He received his license to practice law in 1956 and kept his license current until his death.

After marriage to Shirley L. Flippen in 1956, they moved to Wichita Falls, TX, where he was employed in the Land Department of The Texaco Company.

From there he was transferred to the Dallas office.

In 1961 he was accepted at Seabury-

Western (Episcopal) Seminary in Evanston, IL. Upon graduating with a Bachelor of Divinity in 1964, he was ordained a deacon, then a priest in the Episcopal Church. He served churches in Arlington, TX; Lawton, OK and Mt. Pleasant, Daingerfield, and Gilmer, TX. Bill retired from the Oklahoma Army National Guard in 1989, as a Colonel, having had the privilege of serving as State Chaplain those last years. He proudly served his country for 34 plus years.

Upon retirement from the Church in 1990, he and his wife and daughter, Carolyn, moved to Estes Park, CO. Bill often assisted at St. Bartholomew’s. A continuing joy for him also was serving at St. Timothy’s Church in Pauls Valley, OK. Locally, he had been a volunteer in Cross Roads Ministry, Crop Walk, and Estes Park Medical Center.

Bill is survived by his wife, Shirley and daughters and Kathryn and her husband, Dr. Evan L. Bragg and Carolyn Shirey and her husband Michael T. Dever; granddaughter Elizabeth Bragg, grandson Christopher Bragg; sister, Margaret Moorman, brother James W. and his wife Judi Shirey; and many loved nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers George J. and Robert H. Shirey and his sister, Mildred Lorensen.

A Requiem Mass was celebrated by the Rev. Seth Richmond assisted by the Rev. Edward Morgan and the Rev. Paul Garrett at St. Bartholomew’s on September 20, 2016. After inurement in the Church Yard, an Honor Guard from Ft. Carson, CO concluded the service with a twenty-one gun salute and the presentation of the flag.

May he rest in peace and light perpetual shine upon him.
