Three orphaned black bear cubs taken from inside the Estes Park city limits are getting a new lease on life at Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s Frisco Creek wildlife facility near Del Norte in the San Luis Valley.

The three cubs were orphaned last Thursday after their mother was euthanized for attempting to break into a home on Ponderosa Drive in Estes Park. It was the sow’s third reported residential breakin of the summer; she had also caused damage at a local business in her search of food.

That sow become known in the town as “Scarface� because of wounds sustained on her snout two years ago when she touched a power line. Due to her comfort being around people, she was deemed a threat to human health and safety. “She had become habituated to people and had associated humans with food,� said Kristin Cannon, area wildlife manager for CPW. “She posed a safety risk to the public and we felt compelled to act to protect the community. We also hope that by removing the cubs from this situation, they will not repeat the behavior of their mother and will have a higher chance of survival over the long term.�

The rehabilitation center now plays an important role in the development of these cubs. The cubs are isolated from people to deter habituation. The Frisco Creek Center also prepares these cubs for winter hibernation.

Frisco Creek has been very successful in the rehabilitation of black bear cubs. In 2017, the center rehabilitated two orphaned cubs taken from Hermit Park Open Space just east of Estes Park. “They came from near Estes Park and they were returned to the same area later that year,� said Michael Sirochman, Frisco Creek wildlife facility manager. “We are not taking them away. We are not putting

them in a zoo. We are not killing them.

We are successfully returning them to the wild, once they are ready to be self-sufficient.�

In a typical year, the facility receives 1520 black bear cubs that they prepare to survive a winter’s hibernation on their own. Sirochman said the process of rehabilitating these three cubs begins with keeping them away from people. “To prevent habituation, we are very strict about keeping people away from the bears. We also have the enclosures set up with visual barriers,� he said, so the

good and I’m going to go eat them.’ �

The staff puts whole berry bushes or rose hips in their pens so the cubs actually pick the berries off and get poked by the thorns, making it a realistic experience. They are also fed fish provided by the Monte Vista Fish Hatchery.

However, the bulk of their diet is made up of a nutritionally complete commercial bear formula to make sure the cubs are getting all necessary nutrients to grow.

The minimum target weight that facility staff would allow a cub to be released for hibernation is 60 pounds for a female, 70 pounds for a male. Most cubs they release are somewhere in the 90- to 110-pound range. “This time of year, since we are in hyperphagia, they are really keyed in on food,� Sirochman said. “They want to spend a lot of their day eating and this commercial feed is just so packed full of calories that they can really get a lot more nutrients in a short amount of time than they could in the wild. So they grow very quickly.�

How quickly? Sirochman said these cubs will probably put on 3040 pounds by the end of September. “Visually, they are very healthy cubs,� he said of this trio. “Some of the cubs we get have been orphaned for weeks without mom and they are starving. These went straight Courtesy CPW from mom to us so there was no lag time for them to get hungry.� cubs cannot see the working staff. “We Just like the other set of orphaned cubs will have two pens adjacent to each other from Estes Park last summer, the success and when the bears hear us, they generrate of the facility in getting cubs through ally will retreat to the farther pen, just to their first hibernation on their own has get away from the sound of humans.

getting into trouble after release, which is somewhat telling. They don’t seem to be getting into trouble any more often than a wild bear would get into trouble.”

And that is the goal here with these three orphaned cubs. Do what can be done to get them to be self-sufficient without having to go into town to look for food.

When released, these cubs will have white ear-tags on them to signal they are rehabilitated cubs. This does not count as a first strike against them, so if they get into trouble in the future, they won’t be euthanized on that first offense unless they pose an imminent threat to human health and safety, such as by breaking into a home.

“They are going to hibernate all winter, they are going to turn their fat into all the energy and water they need,” Sirochman said. “One of the things a little bit of the research I’ve seen has shown, is that the longer they can go between the release and encountering humans for the first time, the greater the likelihood that they will respond like a wild bear that wants to avoid people.”

As for the city of Estes Park, Cannon stressed the importance of its residents being bear aware to help prevent future conflicts.

“It is imperative that the residents of Estes Park work to secure their garbage and houses to make town less appealing to the cubs and other bears,” she said.

Tips To Keep Bears Alive & Wild This Fall-It’s All On Us! By: Kris Hazelton

There have been a few reports of bears getting into homes and vehicles in the Estes Valley in the last several weeks.

This time of year, bears are busy trying to fatten up for their winter hibernation and they need to consume 20,000 calories a day! Human-bear conflicts are a fact of life in Colorado, but with some simple actions, residents of bear country can help to significantly reduce those conflicts.

The biggest issue in conflict situations is the availability of human sources of food -garbage, pet food, livestock food, compost piles, bird feeders, chicken pens, etc.

Bears have a phenomenal sense of smell and can pick up odors of food sources from miles away.

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

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

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

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

Please, follow these tips to keep bears

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

• Clean garbage cans regularly to eliminate food odors. If you don't have secure storage, put food scraps and items that might become smelly into the freezer. Then put them in the trash on pickup day.

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

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

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

• Tightly secure any compost piles.

Bears are attracted to the scent of rotting food.

• Clean-up thoroughly after picnics in the yard or on the deck. Don't allow food odors to linger.

• If you have fruit trees, pick fruit before it gets too ripe. Don't allow fruit to fall and rot on the ground.

• If you keep chickens or other small livestock, build a secure enclosure and bring the animals inside at night. Clean up pens regularly to reduce odors.

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

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

Meet The Estes Park Police Department “Auxiliary Unit” By: Estes Park Police Captain Corey Pass

We all see the officers in the gray shirts working throughout the community, but do you really know who they are? These are the proud volunteer members of the Estes Park Police Department's (EPPD) Auxiliary Unit. This unit is made up of volunteers from all walks of life -- from flight attendants to physicians; from bus drivers to engineers, we have them all.

In May 2000, the EPPD initiated formation of a volunteer unit in an effort to increase the department's capabilities. At this time there were four citizens working as volunteers, performing such tasks as working the front desk, answering the telephones, and distributing mail. The first members of the Estes Park Police Volunteer Unit were those citizens already volunteering their time as well as several additional volunteers who had been recruited after participating in the Estes Park Citizens Police Academy.

Fast forward to 2018 and the Estes Park Police Auxiliary Unit is 20 members strong. The unit mirrors that of our fulltime staff in that they have their own Commander and three Sergeants helping to lead the charge. As the Captain who manages the department's Community

and Information Services Division, I am fortunate to oversee the work of these dedicated volunteers. The mission of the Auxiliary Unit is to enhance the individual and collective safety of the community by assisting the EPPD. The Auxiliary Unit provides increased police visibility and helps to further the goal of a positive police-community relationship for the Town of Estes Park.

Each year this group of volunteers donates nearly 5,000 hours to our community by assisting with special events, conducting regular community patrols to educate and help enforce our wildlife protection ordinance, providing fingerprinting services, front desk services, the Blue Santa program, the Citizen's Police Academy, and any other needs we identify in the community. There is no way that we could continue to provide the level of services that our community has come to expect without the service of these fine men and women. They are a pleasure to have on our team.

If you are interested in learning more about the Estes Park Police Department's Auxiliary Unit please feel free to contact me at 970-577-3828. The Police Department is actively seeking to increase the membership of this valuable unit.

Watch And Enjoy The Elk Rut In Safety!

All l photo ll t s Kr to Kri ris is & Gary r Ha ry H zelt lto lt ton, n EP EPN PNE NEWS W By: Kris Hazelton, Estes Park News

EN RO LL TO DA Y

The annual elk rut is in full swing and the bull elk are busy bugling, gathering their harems of females and challenging one another for breeding rights.

• • • • •

WWW.GOALAC.ORG Free Public ONLINE High School Free Credit Recovery Program Free College Credit Opportunities Work force certificate opportunities Computer & Internet provided CHANGE YOUR WORLD

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.

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.

Never block traffic.

"Elk jams" are a danger to everyone blocking traffic creates all kinds of potentially dangerous situations. Be sure to pull completely off the roadway, out of the way of through traffic.

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 or a bull and his harem.

Don't ignore the

cows, they can still be dangerous, any time of year, not just during calving season.

Enjoy watching the rut but please 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.

There's a reason it's called wildlife.

Estes Park Health Plans To Address Community’s Need For Urgent Care Estes Park Health (formerly Estes Park Medical Center) is planning an Urgent Care Center on the corner of US Highway 34 and Steamer Drive across from Stanley Village.

Why does the Estes Valley need an Urgent Care Center? Improving access to affordable health care for our community was identified as one of the highest priorities in Estes Park Health’s 2018 Strategic Plan. The plan for expanded urgent care would be a key part of addressing that community need.

Currently, the only option for walk-in health care after the end of Physician Walk-in Clinic hours (8:00 a. m. to 5 p. m. Monday through Friday and 8:00 a. m. to noon on Saturday) is the Emergency Department. This is an expensive option if only urgent care is needed. A number of insurance companies are not paying emergency department fees for conditions that only require urgent care.

While the Estes Park Health Emergency Department is well prepared to deal with true emergencies that involve life-threatening conditions, the planned Estes Park Health Urgent Care Center would deal with less severe, non-life threatening conditions that still need timely treatment.

Nationally, urgent care is growing as a timely and cost effective health care option positioned between standard physician clinic visits and emergency care.

To address the needs of the Estes Valley for urgent care, the planned hours for the center would 8 a. m. to 8 p. m., seven days a week from May to October. The planned hours would be shortened from November to April.

Why place the Urgent Care Center across from Stanley Village? After exploring a number of potential locations, the proposed site collaboration with Alarado Business Park is the best option.

There is not enough parking or interior space for an Urgent Care Center at Estes Park Health’s current campus at 555 Prospect Ave. The proposed site would have sufficient parking and interior

space, and have the easy access and high visibility needed for success. In addition to serving the urgent care needs of the Estes Valley, this location is also expected to address the urgent care needs of the annual visitors to our community.

Estes Park Health is committed to addressing the access to affordable health care needs of our community, and a component of the strategy would be the services planned for the proposed Estes Park Health Urgent Care Center.

This time of year is glorious! The aspen trees are changing into their best golden gowns for their moment of fame on the red carpet. (They are dressing up so early this year!) Bull elk are proudly exhibiting their 6- and 7-point trophies and trumpeting their intentions. Crisp, alpenglow mornings evolve into warm, windless days (with “sunshine spread as thick as butter on country bread” ~James Whitcomb Riley). These soft, sepia days then transform into cool, still nights with white diamonds glittering against the velvet black sky. (“i who have died am alive again today, and this is the sun's birthday; this is the birth day of life and love and wings: and of the gay great happening illimitably earth. ” ~e e cummings) The wondrous autumn season is when things start to slow down (maybe only a teensy bit, but still…) and we are able to steal a few moments for repose. When those moments surface, there is no place better for some private time than in a hammock.

Sometime this past summer a hammock appeared in my friends Joan and Stephen’s back yard. It hangs from a wooden bow called a Roman arch, and is as much art as it is a functional piece of furniture. Although it doesn’t look like the hammocks from my past, it beckons with a similar allure. Sublime slumber! (“So what could I do but laugh and go? ” ~Richard Le Gallienne) The first hammock in my life was my grandparents’, a sling suspended from posts on a metal-bar frame that stood under huge shade trees in Iowa. We kids entertained ourselves by trying to get in and stay in this floppy fabric pouch. I got flipped out of it many times, landing hard on the ground as it somersaulted above me. Back then the hammock was for play—a fabric jungle gym—not a place for relaxation.

My hammock of 10 years ago was made of

thick woven rope that we stretched between two trees in the front yard. I loved the heavenly sleep that overtook me in that rocking cradle—until the squirrels nibbled at the rope to the point that it frayed and broke (not while I was in it). I always intended to repair the cord but eventually the hammock was discarded. <Sigh> There is no nap like the one that overcomes you in a hammock. Once you manage to get yourself into the loosely pendulating* sack—and there is no graceful way to do this—you have to wiggle and squirm a little to settle in. But then the airy bed slows to a gentle sway, your heart rate eases, your breathing deepens, your eyes get heavy, and you can’t move if you try.

The sleep that comes in a hammock is so much more than the dozing you might do on a couch. It is cavernous sleep you sink into and when you awake, you are lost for a second, groggy, looking up into the trees or the clouds in a daze.

You slowly come ‘round from your stupor, rested and revived. And then you have to get your body out of the undulating berth. But because you have regained a happy outlook on the day from your time in a hammock, you see this as a humorous predicament. There is no better way to end a nap than with a good laugh. (“And if you laugh last, you laugh best. ” ~Girl Scout camp song, learned at Camp Chippewa Bay, New Auburn, WI, where the hammock hung from mighty oak trees.) *pendulate: a word I made up for this column meaning swinging slowly like the pendulum of a clock.

Fine Arts Guild Of The Rockies Presents Paper Moonshine September 15th Gypsy Indie Folk as you’ve never heard it before!

Ever heard of Gypsygrass? Come check out Northern Colorado’s Paper Moonshine and treat your senses to their unique blend of Gypsy jazz, bluegrass, and Americana. Paper Moonshine obliterates labels, following the advice of the great Louis Armstrong: “If it sounds good, don’t worry about what it is, just go and enjoy it.”

The concert takes place September 15th at 7 p.m. in Performance Park.

Originally a Djangoera jazz group, the band has added more styles over the years to become what it is today: virtuosity meets danceable; old meets new; and traditional meets edgy. This group will have you tapping your feet, dancing in the aisles, and wondering why this hasn’t been a genre before now.

Admission is free! Donations are accepted for our scholarship fund for a graduating senior who plans to major in the arts. Lawn chairs/blankets are encouraged.

Elizabeth Guild Presents $65,000 Check To Estes Park Health Foundation Jan Kilgore of the Elizabeth Guild presents a check to Kevin Mullin of Estes Park Health Foundation.

The Elizabeth Guild continued its generous support of Estes Park Health by presenting a $65,000 check to Estes Park Health Foundation at their Annual Elizabeth Guild Tea. This year’s funds will go towards the Emergency Capacity Campaign and employee scholarships for continuing education.

The Emergency Capacity Campaign is an initiative to upgrade cardiac monitors in Estes Park Health’s Ambulance Fleet as well as purchase trauma stretchers for the Emergency Room.

The Elizabeth Guild is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that owns and operates two thrift stores in town-The Elizabeth Guild and Lizzie’s Boutique. At the annual tea, Jan Kilgore, Treasurer of Elizabeth Guild, reported that 6,300 volunteer hours were completed at the Guild last year and presented the check to Kevin Mullin, Executive Director at Estes Park Health Foundation. The tea was held in the newly remodeled dining room at Estes Park Health Living Center,

and Zach Schmitz, Nursing Home Administrator at Estes Park Health, reported that residents are pleased with the upgrade to the dining room as well as new beds purchased for residents last year by Estes Park Health Foundation.

“We’ve received so much positive feedback from both our residents and guests,” Schmitz said. “Visitors have said the dining room has a more intimate, relaxed feel, and the new beds have been a very popular upgrade.”

Both stores are located in the West Park Center. The Elizabeth Guild is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at 443 W. Elkhorn Ave, and Lizzie’s Boutique is open Wednesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at 453 W.

Mental Health Matters By: Alice Reuman, guest columnist

On July 24, the Larimer County Commission voted unanimously to place a proposal on the November general election ballot for imposition of a 0.25% county-wide sales and use tax for the purpose of providing services for mental health and substance use disorders for residents of Larimer County. It is critical that this measure succeed.

Here’s why.

Nationally in the US, it is estimated that about 21% of all adults experienced a mental illness in the past year. According to the Pew Research Center, 46% of Americans have a family member or close friend who has been addicted to drugs, a form of mental illness. Indeed, the US Surgeon General says “Mental Illness is more common than cancer, diabetes or heart disease. ” But it is estimated that 60% of people with mental illnesses go untreated.

Right here in Larimer County, where 14% of Larimer County residents have reported 8 or more days of poor mental health in the previous 30 days, over 65,000 residents – including children, youth, veterans, friends, family, and neighbors – go without the mental health care they need.

But poor mental health and addiction cost all of us in so many ways: reduced and lost earnings, absenteeism, reduced productivity, increased crime, homelessness, higher suicide rates, chronic physical illnesses, reduced public safety, costly hospitalizations, increased incarceration, and many others.

We know that over-reliance on hospitals and jails is both the most expensive and the least effective way to treat mental illness. In Larimer County, for example, a 2015 study showed that 9 of 10 “frequent utilizers” of the county jail had a substance use problem and nearly half had mental illness. Arrests in Estes Park contribute to these statistics. Nor is frequent hospitalization the answer – one trip to an emergency room costs approximately $2500 per visit and the ambulance trip to get there approximately $1200.

What is the answer? Treatment! Based on studies done in several states, including Florida, New Jersey, Oregon, and South Dakota, the National Institute of Health estimates that every dollar spent on addiction treatment programs yields a return of between $4 and $7 in reduced health, crime, criminal justice costs, and impaired work.

While behavioral health problems are

widespread, solutions are local. Larimer County has implemented some good programs. For example, Larimer County’s Alternatives to Incarceration for Individuals with Mental Health Needs (AIIM) program has reduced jail bed days among this population by 60%.

Just this year, Larimer County received a grant for a Co-Responder Program teaming a mental health professional with police officers to de-escalate situations that could result in a trip to jail or an emergency room.

But it’s not enough! What is needed is to expand and improve current behavioral health services delivered locally throughout the County. Unlike a similar past initiative on the same topic, advocates for this initiative actively engaged with and sought solutions from local mental health professionals and residents. Based on the League of Women Voters of Colorado’s position on mental health, the League of Women Voters of Estes Park urges you to vote YES in November to increased funding for mental health services in Larimer County.

Friends....five years ago the Great Flood of 2013 swept through Larimer and Boulder Counties, killing people and destroying homes, businesses, roadways and infrastructure.

The cost of the 100-year flood was in the billions. Here is the column I wrote at the time.

Patrick woke us at 11:30 WEDNESDAY night. “The garage is flooding.” And so it began.

It had rained that morning, so I deferred my run until late in the afternoon, when Irish clouds hung low on the mountains; going around the lake was like walking on the Cliffs of Moher, with droplets gently tapping my face. Wisps of mizzle curled down the folds of Lumpy Ridge; mist spilled over the top of Mount Olympus; Prospect Mountain was enshrouded in puffy grey fog. Four Korean tourists asked me to take their picture as they enjoyed an innocent walk around Lake Estes. Little did we know…

Lizzie and I raced to where Patrick’s room was now threatened by water pouring from the sky and gushing down the slope behind the garage. We grabbed brooms and swept vainly at the flowing deluge. For hours, like Sisyphus pushing his rock, the three of us toiled ineffectually: too much water had been unleashed and we couldn’t keep up with the volume. We dug a diversion ditch behind the garage. We dug deep holes for bailing buckets on the slope side. They filled almost as fast as we emptied. Robotically, we kept sweeping and bailing. The rain persisted, endlessly, implacably.

There was nothing but rain, full buckets, sweeping brooms, shovels, more rain, wet clothes, blisters, soggy shoes, more buckets, darkness, occasional fiveminute breaks, more rain, sweeping, buckets, fatigue, hunger, and no end to time. Dawn finally came, grey and cold.

THURSDAY was a blur. We were groggy from lack of sleep; the downpour continued. Lizzie and Patrick went out for sandbags. We lost phone capability.

On 9NEWS we learned the magnitude of the “Biblical” downpour: Highways 34 and 36 out of commission; Glen Haven a loss; Lyons shattered; Longmont sundered; Boulder inundated. Trail Ridge Road the only way out of town? It was hard to absorb.

We kept bailing as the day lengthened and the rain refused to wane. Lizzie devised a nightwatch: two-hour individual shifts. Pat’s girlfriend Andi joined us, and we four worked late into the night as a team. Sleep, bail, dig, sweep, bail, dig, take a short break, sweep, bail, dig.

Lizzie took the midnight shift and I slept till 4:00 a.m. The rain had abated by then, and bailing was now manageable.

The worst was past.

Doug Frisbie and Eileen Flaherty came over FRIDAY morning for our sporadic internet access, as they had no way of communicating with their daughters.

epnews.com

We built a fire and spent much of the day watching TV and alerting friends across the country that we were safe.

Shelley Chew came by to borrow sandbags (none were left at the stores) and send e-mails and texts to loved ones.

Patrick and I drove out to look at the damage. The golf course was under water. Brown sludge and detritus clogged streets. Thick debris choked Lake Estes on the south side of the causeway.

Wapiti Meadow was a lake. Fish Creek road was sloughing off chunks as a torrent undercut the roadway. We were reminded that “the mountains don’t care;” they sit, implacable and solid, battered indifferent veterans, witness to centuries of dynamic elements, seemingly heedless of hot, cold, wet or dry weather.

In the afternoon Everett Bowles and Josh Brown come by. They had been out looking for trouble, which they found on Peak View Drive, where Everett designed a temporary diversion dam to keep homes from flooding more. They were beaming with pride at having been helpful to others.

We go to Doug and Eileen’s for dinner.

Despite an excellent meal, our usual animated conversation is muted, eroded by fatigue and the immensity of what Estes

is enduring.

There is still no mail or phone service on SATURDAY. We text friends and watch more grim reports on television.

Over 500 people are unaccounted for in Boulder and Larimer counties. We drive out again to survey damage, and see: a woman, face drawn and grimacing, stolidly carrying belongings from her home to a pickup truck; soaked carpets piled on sidewalks outside for trash collection; neighbors with shovels chatting across backyard fences, pausing as they dig diversion trenches; sump pumps draining basements and yards; intermittent choppers; pickup trucks with bales of hay, wheelbarrows and shovels; everywhere we hear the sound of gurgling water streaming downhill to the already glutted lake.

At Safeway we encounter the omnipresent Walt Hester, taking notes and shooting pictures. Inside there is no bread and slow lines at the pharmacy; power drinks and water are on display; cereal boxes are disappearing and milk is vanishing fast; a few melons, decimated juice shelves, meats (chicken and beef) going quickly; long lines and full

carts at checkout. A clerk tells me a truck will come daily now, and they are working hard to keep up with panic shopping.

I step outside and sit on the curb, eyes closed, to take a moment in the sun. A noise next to me sounds like sobbing, and there is a woman in tears, shaking, pushed beyond her limits. “Can I help?”

“I just can’t take it any more,” she says.

We talk. Her husband works in Longmont. Her office in Estes is flooded. She doesn’t deserve this.

The merchants and workers in town; what will they do? How will they survive? Route 34 gone for a year or more?

Route 36 inoperative for at least six months? Nobody knows. The town meeting on SUNDAY may provide some answers.

We wake to restored telephone service and a queue of voicemails from friends across the country. Walking to the Town Meeting I see Amy Hamrick, alone, in waders, slowly shifting sandbags outside Kind Coffee. It hurts my heart. Other merchants along Elkhorn Avenue are similarly engaged as I trek towards the Municipal Building. Their grit moves me.

An overflow crowd fills the auditorium and spills out to the atrium. Again, I hear bits of conversations.

“You open?” one restaurateur ask another. “We opened this morning.

Limited menu.” People confer about water in their houses and compare notes.

The town meeting begins: Mayor Bill Pinkham, town administrator Frank Lancaster and essential services are there: local police, county sheriff, the schools, NPS, sanitation, etc. All deliver consistent messages: We are in this together. We must stand together. People need to help each other. Heed warnings about not crossing roads. Beware of water—you don’t know what’s underneath.

Announcements are made: A meeting for evacuees at 1:00 p.m. today at Mountain View Bible Fellowship Church….

Hwy 7 is compromised and unpredictable; emergencies only… A “no flush/boil water” mandate is in effect for upper Fish Creek…. Dumpsters will be placed around town for household trash…. Mail is over in Grand Lake; use blue boxes for outgoing…. No FedEx or UPS….. Free shuttle service to DIA leaving at 2:00 p.m. today…. Winterize now.

FEMA is coming, but they will leave, and winter is long… 911 works, mostly.

Don’t call dispatch unless it’s important…

After the meeting Lizzie takes two Chinese girls who work with her at Ponderosa Lodge to sign up for the free shuttle to DIA. She then helps them get their final paychecks and transports bicycles for them. Like so many in Estes,

she’s a good Samaritan, finding a need and filling it.

Charlie Dickey organizes a downtown Community Watch, beginning MONDAY morning. I take the 9:00 a.m. shift and walk slowly down the emptiness of Elkhorn. Paula Steig is at Macdonald Book Shop, where a green placard adorns the door. Karen and Todd Jirsa are in front of Village Goldsmith, shoveling out mud. It is oddly silent, and in every direction I see sandbags, mud and closed shops, each with a green, yellow or red placard. Few people are out. The sadness of it aches.

Elkhorn Avenue is a maze of traffic cones, road barriers, straw bales and police tape. Blinking lights and beep-beep backup blasts of bobcats punctuate the eerie stillness as town road crews use shovels, brooms, elbow grease, front-end loaders and dump trucks to scrape up and remove the caked mudsilt. The National Park Service hotshot fire crew is attacking Riverwalk Plaza and the parking lot by Casa Grande with shovels.

Their speed and indomitable energy generate hope as merchants resolutely continue the cleanup.

Frank Lancaster is once again calm, poised, reassuring, professional and avuncular at the town meeting; he induces trust, as do all members of the emergency response team. Store manager Eddie Martinez reports that Safeway trucks are coming over Trail Ridge Road with supplies: food, gasoline and drugs. I blink. Tractor-trailers over Trail Ridge?

The overflow crowd is again polite, attentive, cooperative, tired. Each speaker is applauded. Mayor Bill Pinkham, who stood through Sunday’s meeting, now sits exhausted; I can only imagine how hard he has worked during the past 96 hours, and on how few hours of sleep he is functioning. And how many other first responders share the same status?

It took the Red Cross representative five hours (normally one suffices) to drive from Fort Collins to Estes Park. He commends citizens and town administration alike for the spirit and competence with which all have responded to this critical situation.

What we did for ourselves and for others during the past week is what you do when you live in a small town. As Frank Lancaster said, “We are all in this together.” Estes will rise again, as it has in the past. We face a hard winter, but spring, renewed hope and rebirth are as ineluctable as the reappearance of Rocky Mountain Bluebirds. Tourists will return to an even stronger Estes Park. There are not enough ways to thank the town and the people who live here, the people who did not quit, who answered this trial and were not found wanting.

Estes Park. Mountain strong.

Colorado tough.

“AND NOW I ARE ONE!”…THOUGHTS ON GROWING OLDER I walked into a shop in Pasadena, California to visit a friend who owned it. The shop specialized in selling reptiles. That’s right, pythons, rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, etc. On his wall was a sign that said: ‘Last month I could not even spell ‘herpetologist’ and now I are one’. Sam loved his snakes and ran a thriving business.

I think of that when I think of other things that many fear, like some fear snakes. One of those things that we often fear is ‘getting older’. I came across a book entitled ‘Geezerhood’. I could think of someone saying, “Last week I couldn’t even spell ‘Geezer’ and now I are one.” The word applies to many of us in Estes Park, doesn’t it? As I sat in McDonalds recently I looked toward the back of the restaurant and all I saw was ‘white hair’ or ‘no hair’. I glanced around and the same was true whatever direction I looked …and I knew what I would see if I looked in a mirror. Many of us ‘fit the bill’.

So what does that say about us? Physically, the body has put on the brakes. We ‘huff and puff’ instead of ‘motoring up the hill’. We like to ‘sit’ more than ‘stand’…to ‘watch’ more than ‘do’…and to quit counting birthdays. Mentally, our brain doesn’t work like it used to. We don’t remember…names and facts…like we used to. Emotionally, we wrestle with fears and feelings we vowed once would never occur in us: being negative and critical, maybe even ornery on occasion; being reluctant to let younger people do things for us; feeling unwanted and ‘in the way’; feeling guilty over previous mistakes and wrong decisions; feeling forgotten, unloved, lonely and passed by; threatened by sounds, night driving, speed, financial uncertainty, and disease; resisting the need to adjust and adapt. We tend to think back over days when we were so very efficient, capable, needed, and fulfilled. We wonder if our twilight days can be of any worth.

When we begin to harbor these thoughts we need to consider the achievements of people who did great things in their declining years. In the Bible we have people like Abraham who is most noted for what he did after 80. Caleb was 85 when he chose to conquer ‘the mountains and the giants’.

Samuel, in his old age, established the ‘school of prophets’ that impacted Israel for centuries. Paul, in his last days, wrote letters of encouragement that still bless us today.

In the secular world we have abundant examples. At 89 Albert Schweitzer headed a hospital in Africa. At 94, Bertrand Russell was active in international peace drives. At 90, the painter Pablo Picasso did 347 of his greatest works. At 82 Winston Churchill wrote a History of English Speaking people. At 81 Benjamin Franklin contributed to the adoption of the U.S. Constitution. And, one of my personal favorites, Ray Kroc, from age 60 to 84, built McDonalds into a chain that sold billions of hamburgers.

So what’s our excuse? Many of us have experienced our ‘three score and ten’ however, we must maintain a great attitude toward growing older. I like the birthday card that showed an old man looking at a cake collapsing under a load of candles. The card read: ‘Don’t feel bad if you can’t blow out all your candles’ (inside) ‘Just BEAT ‘em out with your cane.” We need to remember--- God has decided to let…help…you live this long. Your old age is not a mistake, an oversight, or an afterthought. God has blessed you with this time to use for Him and others. So, we pray as David did, “God, teach us to number our days, so that we may present to Thee a heart of wisdom.”

Step Into Your Creative Space The Great Courses® Lecture Series: Master Works of American Art A nation’s identity is expressed through its art. Great painters capture the essence of a culture’s brightest hopes, deepest anxieties, and most profound aspirations.

In this course, you will see the diversity and range of American art and the enormous talent of those who created it. Join Professor William Kloss, Independent Art History for the Smithsonian Institution, as he reveals the vital and vibrant tradition of American art in this fascinating DVD lecture series.

Decision Reached On Fall River Entrance Improvements In RMNP The Director of the Intermountain Region, National Park Service, has signed a decision document that will enable Rocky Mountain National Park to implement improvements to the Fall River Entrance Station, including the addition of a fast-pass lane for use by pass-holding visitors as well as employees and emergency vehicles. The Fall River Entrance is one of two major entrance stations on the east side of the park and is located on U.S. Highway 34, just inside the park boundary.

In addition to the new fast-pass lane, the selected alternative reconfigures the existing entrance and exit lanes, replaces all existing buildings with newly constructed ones having updated equipment and systems for ventilation and technology, improves the accessibility of all entrance facilities, and adds new parking spaces and pedestrian paths.

Initial public scoping for the project occurred in the summer of 2017, including a public meeting held in August. It will be several years until the construction begins.

Arts And Crafts Festival This Weekend In Bond Park Are you ready? It’s here! The 43rd Annual Fine Arts and Crafts Festival will be at Bond Park this Saturday, September 15, 9 a.m.-6 p.m. and Sunday, September 16, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. A silent auction will be available each day.

The Guild welcomes over 100 artists, some of whom have participated in previous festivals and others new to this

You may be familiar with the wonderful creations of jewelers, Anne Vogt, Michele Throne, Neil Herman, Sherry Jones, Mark Jimenez, Jennifer LeseaAmes, and Betsy Bracken, but they always have new pieces with which to tempt the jewelry lovers among us.

Sarah Ocasek and Baca St. Onge work with fused dichroic glass, but each uses the medium in a unique way. Jackson Avila and Bill Inverso both use wood, but very differently and Jean Abendschein and Terry Kreuzer use repurposed/recycled metal in their creations.

Susie Larsson, Lisa Davin and Laurey Gilbert all use small beads but very differently and Wendy Witchner’s use of

Peggy Anton and her one of a kind jackets and coats, Debra Street’s hand painted silk items, Nina Paul’s and Deborah Brawley’s adult and children’s wear and Dinah and Chris Lee’s hand painted shawls, scarves, jackets and dresses which they also design. If you’re looking for warm mittens, scarves and hats, visit Laurel Astor for items made from recycled wool sweaters and Linda George’s hand knits.

Rod Anderson is back with his whimsical jewelry boxes and puzzles, Gerald Brown has rocking chairs for adults and children alike, and Cecil Hayes, Tracey Detweiler, and Jessica Moore offer a variety of wood products including cutting

from colored lights and reflections of light on water, and Dave Maes does some interesting black and white images with selective color.

Painters offer a wide variety of subject matter captured on paper, board, canvas, and upcycled surfaces such as corrugated tin and street signs, using india ink, water color, acrylic paint and gels.

Mixed media artists combine paint, paper, plaster, metal leaf, pine branches, hand dyed fabric and other materials to create a wide variety of unique works of art. Robyn Hannah creates horses, elk, moose, buffalo and big horn using handdyed fabric for bodies and smooth pine branches for legs, Paul Peng returns with his bonsai and Brent Nilson and Jon Person have beautifully handcrafted knives.

Metal artists Hill Brin, Jim Swanson, Dave and Judy Hedblom and Tim Herbst offer a wide variety of products from Hill’s birdbaths and mirrors to Jim Swanson’s pewter leaves and Tim Herbst’s aluminum and Dave and Judy Hedblom’s copper wall art.

There are many others too numerous to name, including

Some of the familiar ceramic artists who will return are Lane Dukart with his architectural tiles and ceramic wind chimes, Daniel Marshal with both functional and decorative ceramics, and Gina Sabaliauskas with her whimsical jewelry boxes and candle houses.

oxidized copper and silver metal and wire with antique button accents makes her jewelry unique.

Patriots For Peace Meeting Sept. 19

The Estes Park Patriots for Peace invite you to attend our next meeting, Wednesday, September 19 at the Hondius Room in the Estes Valley Public Library from 5:30-7:00 p.m. We are a transpartisan, inclusive group promoting peace at all levels of society. The meeting will be a potluck celebration of and a discussion about both the International Day of Peace and the Global Feast for Peace on the next day, Friday, 21 September. We will be discussing themes regarding the “11 Days of Global Unity,” which began on Tuesday, September 11.

The “11 Days of Global Unity” event is sponsored by the “We Are the World” and “Shift Network” international communities of peace activists. The recur-

ring themes of focus are as follows: Unity, Interdependence, the Environment, Freedom, Disarmament, Human Rights, Economic Justice, Women, Children and Youth, Health, and Peace. Beginning this week on September 11 (and as part of a United Nations response to the 2001 terror attacks on that date), this event features daily online seminars about the topics by leading scholars and advocates regarding these issues. Anyone can receive these informative and inspiring teleconferences by registering for free at either of the following web addresses: WE.net or theshiftnetwork.com. When you register, you will be able to access the full speaker schedule, and get access to the earlier talks (even earlier years) if desired.

In order to come together as members of the human family, you are invited to bring a celebratory dish to share, and/or a song, poem, bell to ring, piece of art, etc. to express your hope and vision for global peace.

When: THIS Wh T Sunday, September 16th (10 TH (10a-5p) 5 )

Hunger Walk This Sunday, September 16th The Estes Park Walk for the Hungry will be Sunday, September 16 and start at 1:00 p.m., going around Lake Estes. We will gather on the South Side of the Estes Park Visitors’ Center.

Walker sponsor sheets may be picked up at the following churches: First United Methodist of Estes Park, St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran Church, and from Don Holmes at Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church or Peter Vanderveen, walk coordinator, at 970586-0578.

The walk is sponsored by Church World Service’s CROP Walks, a venture to address world hunger needs. Twenty five percent of walk receipts will go to Crossroads, our local pantry and emergency assistance program that helps people in need. Emergency assistance is particularly important here in town in the winter months, not only because of weather conditions, but also because many seasonal workers in the local tourist industry, which is important to the local economy, have reduced work

hours in the off season. We depend on them to keep the local businesses operating, so we need to support them when work is less available.

The other seventy-five per cent of receipts from the walk goes to address the needs of national and international hunger through emergency relief and self-help programs.

In many parts of the world, people rely on what they can raise or grow themselves for the major part of their daily needs. Church World Service has many programs which teach people how to improve their food production of plants and animals through improved agricultural methods and conservation of limited water supplies. They also make available new or improved varieties of animals and vegetables that increase nutrition and production.

Church world Service programs proved a hand up, not just a hand out.

We hope you will consider taking part in the Walk for the Hungry and strike a blow for those in need, locally and around the world. If you can’t walk, perhaps you will consider sponsoring a walker.

“The Riverside” Band To Play At Masonic Lodge September 24

The Riverside is a band of friends from California founded by husband and wife duo, Jacob and Lorien Jeanson. Winners of the 2017 Popular Vote Contest at the Red Ants Pants Festival, the band was honored with opening this year’s main stage.

Whether performing on a street corner, in a house concert, or standing in the middle of a cow pasture at a MT music festival, the band strives to bring back the love of raw, live performances. Circled around one or two large microphones, the band relies on one another to find balance in their sound.

With roots deep in folk music, their stringed instruments and vocal harmonies allow them to paint multiple landscapes and tell their stories, which they hope will help you with your journey down life’s winding river.

Truly a band you won’t want to miss, please join us for The Riverside Monday, September 24 7:00-8:30 p.m.

Estes Park Masonic Lodge 1820 S St. Vrain Ave, (Hwy. 7) Estes Park, CO Suggested donation $20 per person, all proceeds go to band.

Please bring your own drink (alcohol is permitted).

After their performance, the band members will be excited to meet and talk with people.

Mid-Day Mindfulness Meditation At Natural Dreamwork Center

Mid-Day Mindfulness Meditation by Mary Jo Heyen, Natural Dreamwork Practitioner will take place at the Natural Dreamwork Center.

In response to requests for longer sittings I will offer an additional monthly meditation group held at my dreamwork center here in town. This group will support experienced practitioners who seek deeper and longer periods of silence, and will be conveniently offered during the lunch hour.

This is in addition to the monthly meditation group that I facilitate at the Estes Valley Community Center, which supports a beginning practice and focuses on developing one’s own meditation practice.

Including meditation in our lives we

begin to clear our minds and open our hearts. Meditation gently offers us many opportunities. It can help us manage stress and become more centered.

Whatever our age we can deepen our ability to be truly in the present moment, be present with whoever is with us, and with whatever is going on around us. The ‘whatever is’ may be a wonderful experience, some joy, or it may be some form of suffering, physical pain, or emotional pain, such as grief or loneliness. All of who we are is welcome as we sit in meditation.

The group is facilitated by Natural Dream/Meditation teacher Mary Jo Heyen and will meet the third Wednesday of the month from 11:45-12:30, at the Natural Dreamwork Center, 960 Comanche Street. Seating is limited and advanced registration is necessary.

Chairs will be provided or you may bring your own meditation cushion.

The fee is $5.00 You can reserve your space by e-mailing me at mjheyen@gmail.com or visit www.maryjoheyen.com.

Magician Dave Elstun Performs At Reading Event For Teens & Adults

Popular magician Dave Elstun will be giving a brief magic performance as part

of the “Explore New Genres” event at the Estes Valley Library. The event encourages teen and adult readers to expand their literary horizons by learning about some of the popular titles in the current fantasy genre, with special focus on the book “A Darker Shade of Magic”

by V. E. Schwab.

The program takes place on Friday, September 21 from 4 to 5 p.m. at the library. To register, visit estesvalleylibrary.org. A limited number of advance copies of the book are now available for those who register.

Dave Elstun is a premiere magician from the Denver area who has been entertaining fans of all ages for nearly 40 years. He has worked in movies, television, and radio, as well as performing at many Denver Broncos events and Colorado fundraisers.

Photographer Joel Carosi Featured In September Library Exhibit This month’s Art at the Library exhibit features works by local photographer Joel Carosi. The works are located on both floors of the library through September 28.

“I want to create images as close as possible to the true beauty of the natural world around me, ” says Carosi. “However, the beauty of nature’s creations is difficult to represent in a photograph. ” When setting out into the field to create a picture, Joel aims to vividly expose the entire range of tones and colors in an image and bring out minute details in the shadows and highlights. He tends to shoot a very large field of view, sometimes 360º, and has even created entirely spherical photos. All the photos from a

shoot (which have numbered well over 100 at times) are layered, stitched, blended, and merged seamlessly into one grand tapestry.

“I owe my love of photography to my grandfather Lou Tomon, who would bring my siblings and I to McConnell’s Mill State Park in Portersville, Pennsylvania. This is where I developed a love of the outdoors, and photography, as Lou would always have his camera with him. I feel very blessed to have the health, skills, and opportunities to explore and experience some of the most divine natural wonders the planet has to offer.”

OPEN HOUSE SUN. 1–3PM

Celebrating The Library’s FutureAnd The Pursuit Of Dreams This Thursday, we celebrate an essential group of people: the local library lovers who are our donors and our caring supporters. Library Friends & Foundation memberships provide a margin of excellence that enables the library to be a community-builder, literacy center, and champion of youth. And we welcome an author, adventurer and mountaineer who also happens to be a longtime resident of our community.

On September 20 at 6 p.m., the Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation is hosting its annual reception for all its members to gather together for a festive evening with wine and cheese—and a very brief nominating meeting—followed by a presentation from someone who has an extraordinary story of survival and resilience to share.

Our special guest author and speaker is Jean Muenchrath, a longtime Rocky Mountain National Park ranger who has traveled much of the planet and explored some of its most beautiful and rugged mountains.

Jean’s talk will especially focus on to a true survival story that’s the subject of her recent book, “If I Live Until Morning.”

Set against the backdrop of California’s John Muir Trail, Jean, after having skied 200 miles, found herself facing death amid a mountaineering accident on Mount Whitney. Broken and bleeding on the highest peak in the continental U. S., she vowed to realize her greatest dreams—if she could live until morning.

Live she did, but not without a treach-

erous five-day ordeal, followed by a daunting recovery. Her journey toward physical and emotional healing would ultimately take her to the Himalayas, where she befriended Tibetan lamas.

Their ancient wisdom guided her on that elusive path toward her greatest dreams.

In this very week when so many of us have been reflecting on the fifth anniversary of the Colorado floods, Jean’s story is one that invites us all to remember how the strength of will and determination can transform tragedy into triumph.

This Thursday’s event is a special reception open to the membership of the Library Friends & Foundation. If you’re a current member, simply RSVP online at estesvalleylibrary.org.

If you’re not a current member—you can join online, or contact me with any questions at swalsh@estesvalleylibrary, or call 970-586-8116, ext. 835.

It’s important to note that the library will be closing at 5:00 p.m. this Thursday to allow the annual membership meeting and reception to take place in our facility.

We thank the library’s Board of Trustees for making it possible for us to use the building for this special event. It seems only fitting that we can celebrate the library—and make plans to fund its future—in the very setting that inspires us.

We hope to see you this Thursday as we raise a toast to literacy, civic spirit, and the pursuit of our community’s greatest dreams.

Thank You To First Responders To The Editor: On Friday morning a man washing windows at my house fell about 20 feet off my house on the pavement. It was a terrible accident and I called 911. I live on Sierra Sage lane and we had several trucks that arrived immediately and they were followed by the ambulance. They took great care with the man and assessed the situation and took him to the hospital. After the ambulance left several firefighters stayed behind and helped with everything. One climbed up to the window and broke out the rest of the glass so it would not fall later. Another cleaned up the glass on the pavement

and another one bleached the blood and used my hose to wash the driveway. I didn’t even notice until later that they even put my hose back in the garage and put the broken glass in a wastebasket by my trash can. These people are angels.

The man was transported from Estes to another hospital, but I think they saved his life. They were very competent and kind. I would like to thank every one of them from the bottom of my heart.

These people are a special group.

God bless each of you and your families.

Randy (Randog) Brown Randy (Randog) Brown was born on May 8, 1959 in Coventry, Connecticut and he died September 4, 2018.

He lived in Estes Park from 1978 until now. He built houses all around the Estes Valley and the front range. He touched many people’s lives in all the years. We hunted and fished and rode horses and canoed, so many

miles.

From all of us at the Jumpin’ Star Ranch Tribe, our medicine runs with him while he walks the good red road.

There will be a memorial and potluck gathering for Randy at the Wheel Bar at noon, this Sunday, September 16.

Aho Mitackiasin (Sioux), thank you for all my relations, Buffalo (Bruce P Anderson)

Carl Burgener Carl Burgener, a long-time resident of Estes Park, died peacefully on August 26 at the age of 102.

He was still living at home and remained fiercely self-sufficient under the watchful eye of his daughter, Carolyn Lavallee.

Attracted by the mountains his family had come to love on summer vacations, Carl moved west from flat-land Illinois in 1973 as a freshlyminted retiree seeking a change of pace and a change of scenery. In Estes Park he and Helen, his wife of 67 years, built a new home that would remain his residence for 45 years.

Carl’s life was always defined by a strong work ethic, so a leisurely retirement was never in the cards. Many in Estes Park knew him by his avocation as a piano tuner, a skill he practiced well into his nineties, keeping pianos in family households, the Stanley Hotel and the YMCA in perfect pitch.

Both Carl and Helen were active in their church, Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies (PCCR), and supported, with their time and resources, a variety of volunteer, environmental and charitable organizations.

Born the youngest of five children on March 23, 1916, Carl grew up on a small family farm near Olney, Illinois.

He was raised by his older sister after his mother perished in an influenza epidemic. An excellent student, academic pursuits gradually supplanted farming as a career, and Carl was the first in his family to attend college. At Illinois Wesleyan University, he distinguished himself academically, earned a degree in Physics and attracted the attention of his future wife. In 1939 he began his teaching career while pursu-

ing a Master’s degree at Columbia Teacher’s College in New York City. In 1942 Carl and Helen married before he entered WWII as a naval aircraft navigator and instructor.

Following the war Carl took a position in suburban Chicago as a high school physics teacher that would define his life for the next 26 years.

He was a favorite among his students and highly regarded by his colleagues. In addition to physics, he taught photography, served as head of the science department and was active in the teachers’ union.

In 1957 Carl was invited by the University of Illinois to participate in the development of an innovative new physics course for high school students. He enthusiastically accepted the challenge and spent nights and weekends designing and fabricating the novel lab equipment that would be required for the new curriculum. Carl was always dedicated to increasing his knowledge and spent many summers honing his teaching skills at institutes sponsored by DePaul University, Case Western Reserve University and the University of Connecticut. Among his many talented students were two who would later be awarded Nobel prizes.

In addition to his daughter Carolyn, he is survived by his son Arnold Burgener and daughter-in-law Melinda; grandchildren Jeff, Greg and Jocelyn Lavallee; and four great grand children.

A memorial service will be held on September 29 at 3 p.m. at PCCR. Please visit www.allnutt.com to leave a message for the family.

Jack and Kay spent many summers at their mountain cabin in Riverside and were summer members of the Allenspark Community Church. They moved to Estes Park as full-time residents in 2009.

During his career Jack was active and held leadership positions in many civic organizations including the Credit Union of Johnson County (Mainstreet Credit Union), the John Austin Cheley Foundation, Fire Board District OneJohnson County, Shawnee Mission Chapter of American Red Cross, Johnson County Charter Commission, Johnson County Retired School Personnel, State Legislative Committee for Kansas Retired Teachers, Johnson County Mental Health Association, Johnson County Christmas Bureau,

and Johnson County YMCA. He was a member of Village Presbyterian Church in Prairie Village, KS where he served as an elder. Jack received numerous honors including induction into the Kansas Teachers Hall of Fame in 1988.

In 2002 he was recognized by the Kansas Senate for giving 40 years of his life as a teacher and for his many community contributions. He received the Patron Award from the Shawnee Mission Education Foundation in 2008.

Jack had a tremendous influence on the lives of his students, colleagues, friends and family. He lived a life of service and always had time for others.

He will be remembered for his wonderful sense of humor, positive attitude, patience, gratitude, compassion and ability to offer wise counsel when asked. He lived life to the fullest and enjoyed following KU basketball as well as the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals, playing bridge, fishing, camping, traveling and spending time with family and friends.

PCCR Update On Golf Outings

Winning team in PCCR’s traditional golf outing, held on Sunday, September 9, at the Lake Estes 9-hole course. L to R: Lanty McCartney and Charlie Hanchett.

The Mission & Outreach Committee of Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies (PCCR) held two fund-raising golf events on Sunday, September 9: a traditional golf outing and a miniature golf outing.

Seventeen golfers played in the 9-hole “best-ball scramble” at the Lake Estes course, and many other non-players

contributed financially to support two mission co-worker couples who serve in PC(USA) World Mission.

The winning team, with a score of 28 strokes, included Lanty McCartney and Charlie Hanchett. Two other players in their foursome were unable to participate, so McCartney and Hanchett were allowed extra strokes. Each member of

the winning team received a $25 voucher to be used at one of the two EVRPD golf pro shops, plus a fold-up duffle bag from Marsha Syphers at iii.

Prizes were also awarded to: • Jan Alderman, for women’s longest drive on hole #7 ($50 prize from Estes Park Team Realty) • Terry Taylor, for the men’s longest drive on hole #4 ($50 prize from Thorp Associates) • Rod Unruh, for being closest to the pin on hole #6 ($50 prize from Estes Park Team Realty) • Carl Orser, for the longest putt (using a driver to putt!) on hole #9 ($50 prize from Thorp Associates) That evening, perfect weather prevailed so that five foursomes could play in the mini-golf outing at Estes Park Center/YMCA’s mini-golf course. The winning team included Denise Moore, Carol Nussbaumer, Michael Moore and Dave Thomas (substituting for a team member who couldn’t be there), with a team score of 33 strokes on the par-50 course! Each member of the winning team received a $20 gift card from Mountain Home Café. Each member of the second-place team received a $15 gift certificate from Colorado Homestead.

Net proceeds of the two golf outings will be divided equally between two

PC(USA) mission co-worker couples: Luta and Rev. Jeremy Garbat-Welch, serving in Africa; and Rev. Sara Armstrong and Rusty Edmondson, serving in Peru (Rusty Edmondson played in both golf outings this year!).

Special thanks to: • the Mission & Outreach Committee and the PCCR Session for their support of both outings • All the non-playing contributors • Traditional golf outing: Estes Valley Recreation & Park District for assistance and for $25 vouchers for each member of winning team; Thorp Associates for sponsoring the men’s longest drive on #4 and the longest putt on #9; Estes Park Team Realty for sponsoring the closest to pin on #6 and the women’s longest drive on #7.

• Mini-golf outing: Estes Park Center/YMCA of the Rockies for complimentary use of their miniature golf course and for hot chocolate; Mountain Home Café for $20 gift cards for the winning team; Colorado Homestead for $15 gift certificates for the second-place team.

• Both golf outings: Marsha Syphers of iii for merchandise prizes; Rev. Michael Moore, Terry Brigham and Carolyn Hull of PCCR; Estes Park News and Estes Park Trail-Gazette for publicity.
