Rabies, Canine Distemper Cases Prompt Warnings From Colorado Parks And Wildlife After receiving reports of rabies in skunks out of Larimer County and canine distemper from raccoons in Adams County, Colorado Parks and Wildlife reminds residents of the importance to get their pets vaccinated and to always avoid touching any wildlife.

In Larimer County, a number of skunks did not head into their dens for the winter and the incidences seen from those that had contact with dogs were positive for rabies.

Larimer County officials have seen more than a dozen positive rabies incidences this year.

Wildlife pathologists at CPW’s health lab have a raccoon carcass taken out of Brighton that tested positive for the canine distemper virus (CDV). Officials advise the public to treat any sick raccoon in Adams County with the presumptive diagnosis of CDV until the summer when CPW will restart surveillance.

“We see these cases every year, so it is important that the public is aware of these diseases and also knows what to do,” said CPW Area Wildlife Manager Crystal Chick. “You need to protect your pets and make sure they are vaccinated. Keeping your pets on a leash and not allowing them to interact with wildlife helps protect them as well as our wildlife.”

Key points for residents on disease and animal interactions: - Make sure your pets are up-to-date on their vaccinations.

- Keep your dogs on a leash when walking them.

- Do not let pets interact with any wildlife.

- Do not let wildlife frequent your backyard.

- Avoid keeping water and food bowls outside to limit possible contamination.

- Teach kids not to touch any wildlife.

- The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) is responsible for managing human and domestic animal health concerns for rabies virus transmission, and all cases with human or domestic animal expo-

cination following exposure may prevent infection in humans (called “post-exposure prophylaxis”).

Rabies | What to look for: - Aggression, no fear of humans - Bats or skunks out during the day - Disorientation, lethargy - Difficulty walking - Excessive salivation Canine distemper is a neurological disease and although distemper is not transmitted to humans, dogs are susceptible to the disease if they have not been vaccinated. Because there is no treatment for the disease, prevention is the best method of control. Dogs with distemper can also transmit the disease to raccoons, which could in turn pass it to other raccoons or pets.

Town IT Support Specialist Barbara Jo Limmiatis with EPNRC staff Alison Rivers, Karen McPherson and Laurie Dale Marshall.

Town Donates Used Computers To Local Nonprofits The Town of Estes Park recently donated 10 used computers to local nonprofits Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center (EPNRC) and the Estes Valley Crisis Advocates. The laptops and desktops met their useful life in government service, but have the potential for many more years of service by the nonprofits.

EPNRC Director Laurie Dale Marshall commented, "Having the tools necessary to meet the needs of our constituents and stakeholders is vitally important to nonprofit organizations. We simply wouldn't be able to reach others with our services if not for the partnerships within the community and the Town of Estes Park steps up time and again to help nonprofits do just that." She continued, "Offering quality, used computers to our nonprofit not only allows us to do our good work, but offsets our budget, allowing funds to go directly to the consumers we serve."

Town Information Technology Manager Alan Fraundorf commented, "The computers were available due to the impending end of life of Windows 7 -- Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or support for computers running Windows 7 after January 14, 2020."

With the size and complexity of the Town's network, Fraundorf explained the Town's need to minimize risks to its infrastructure and citizen data, by updating or replacing all computers currently operating Windows 7.

Fraundorf continued, "The Town of Estes Park recognizes the important role that outside entities play in meeting the needs of the Estes Valley community and prides itself on supporting local nonprofits by donating gently used equipment when possible." Financial policies allow the Town to donate un-

needed property for other public purposes to extend its useful life. Donating computers to local nonprofits is also a more cost-effective and environmentally sound approach than destroying or recycling the machines.

Crisis Advocates Director Diana David Brown commented, "Our staff is so very excited to have this upgraded computer system for our staff and clients. The new computers provide faster and more efficient tools to meet the various needs of our clients and organization."

More computers may be available later this year. Estes Valley nonprofits may express interest in computer equipment by contacting Laurie Dale Marshall at EPNRC, who is coordinating with the Town on this project. Marshall may be contacted at 970-480-7805 or director@epnonprofit.org.

Spring Weather Brings The Reminder To Be Bear Aware In Colorado

Colorado Parks and Wildlife photos

Keeping trash secured is a major responsibility for being bear aware in Colorado. Human-bear conflicts are most often due to people's careless treatment of trash and food. You can help save bears' lives by being Bear Aware. Photo credit: DJ Hannigan

The official start to spring brings the annual reminder from Colorado Parks and Wildlife that bears are emerging from their slumber and beginning the search for food. Residents and visitors to bear country statewide need to do their part to help conserve our wildlife by working to reduce the chances of human-bear interactions.

Improper food storage and forgetting to lock a vehicle resulted in a Breckenridge resident's car being destroyed in just the first week of April.

"We stress it every year, small behaviors by people can make a huge difference for bears," said Tom Davies, district wildlife manager in Summit County. "We need people to keep cars and garages locked, keep attractants out of reach and properly use and lock bear-proof trash cans.

food ranging from garbage to bird feeders to dog food and whatever they can find in open garages," said Frank McGee, area wildlife manager for the Pikes Peak region. "That is why we asked Manitou Springs to pass an ordinance to mandate bear-proof trash cans.

And we believe it's working. We're making a similar effort with Colorado Springs."

In the spring, bears should find natural food sources when they emerge from hibernation as new plants and grasses begin to sprout. Bears are omnivores and primarily eat vegetation such as grasses, forbs, berries, acorns, and seeds – food sources that span their waking seasons.

But if natural food becomes scarce, or if human-provided food is easy to access, bears will begin looking in residential areas for their next meal.

Though most human-bear interactions occur in the late summer months, a late frost or prolonged dry weather could lead to localized natural food failures, pushing black bears to be more persistent in their search for human-food sources. Being bear aware not only protects your home and property, but it can also save a bear’s life.

“Our area staff worked hard this winter to get some rehabilitated orphaned cubs back into the wild and give them a second chance at life in the wild,” said Kristin Cannon, area As bears begin to emerge in Colorado, en- wildlife manager for Area 2, covering suring trash is properly stored, food and sup- Boulder and Estes Park. ”The hard reality is that most orphaned cubs lose plies are not left in cars, and taking down their mother due to humans being birdfeeders help keep bears from seeking careless with trash and feed.

Do your part to keep wildlife wild by being Bear Aware.

Clean all garbage cans regularly to keep them odor free. The scent of ammonia can deter bears.

Take down all bird feeders by April 15 – bird feeders are a major source of bear/human conflicts. Birds don't need to be fed during the spring and summer.

Hang feeders again in mid-November.

Don't leave pet food or stock feed outside – never provide food sources for any wildlife.

Keep garage doors and windows closed and locked, especially between dusk and dawn.

Don’t leave attractants such as snacks, food wrappers, gum, or even scented hand lotions in your car; and always lock vehicle doors.

Use bear boxes or bear-proof containers for food and scented items when camping.

Don't leave food outside while camping.

If bear boxes aren't available local all food in a vehicle.

Review CPW’s Bearproofing Your Home Fact Sheet and conduct a home audit to be sure you are not attracting bears to your property.

Talk to your neighbors and kids about being bear aware.

Bearproo ng Your Home

Help Keep Bears Wild

Only people can prevent conflicts with bears. Please do your part to protect your home and property, and prevent conflicts with bears.

Keep Bears Out n Many bears that enter homes do so through an unlocked or open window or door. Close and lock all bear-accessible windows and doors when you leave the house, and at night before you go to bed. n If you must leave downstairs windows open, install sturdy grates or bars. Screens don’t keep out bears. n Keep garage doors and windows closed and locked at night and when you’re not home. Don’t leave your garage door standing open when you’re not outside. Install extra-sturdy doors if you have a freezer, refrigerator, pet food, bird seed, or other attractants in your garage. n Keep car doors and windows closed and locked if you park outside. Make sure there’s nothing with an odor in your vehicle, including candy, gum, air fresheners, trash, lotions and lip balms. n Bears are great climbers — remove any tree limbs that might provide access to upper level decks and windows.

n Don’t store food of any kind in an unlocked garage, flimsy shed or on or under your deck. n Don’t leave anything with an odor outside, near open windows or in your vehicle, even if you’re home. That includes scented candles, air fresheners, soaps and lotions.

Teach Bears They’re Not Welcome n If a bear comes into your yard or close to your home, do yourself and the bear a big favor, and scare it away. A confident attitude plus loud noises like a firm yell, clapping your hands, banging on pots and pans or blowing an air horn sends most bears running. n If a bear enters your home, open doors and windows and make sure it can leave the same way it got in. Don’t approach the bear or block escape routes. n Never approach a bear. If a bear won’t leave, call your local CPW office. If a bear presents an immediate threat to human safety, call 911.

Visit www.wildlife.state.co.us/bears for more information or call your local Colorado Parks and Wildlife Office.

n Replace exterior lever-style door handles with good quality round door knobs that bears can’t pull or push open. n Put on talk radio (not music) when you leave home; the human voice startles most bears.

Please Do Your Part to Keep Bears Wild

Get Rid of Attractants n Bears follow their super-sensitive noses to anything that smells like food, and can follow scents from up to five miles away. n Don’t leave trash out overnight unless it’s in a bear-proof enclosure or container. Obey all local regulations. n We recommend feeding birds only when bears are hibernating. If you want to feed birds when bears are active, please review the Attracting Birds, Not Bears fact sheet on our website. Š JOHN DERYCH

Used Bookstore Ribbon-Cutting And The Thrill Of A “Cliffhanger”

The official ribbon cutting

Community members gathered last Tuesday morning for the official ribboncutting celebration to commemorate the opening of the Used Bookstore operated by the Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation. Coinciding with a national initiative called Library Giving Day, the event included the reading of a Town Proclamation acknowledging the importance of local library services to be able to meet the learning and cultural needs of Estes Valley residents.

The celebration included the unveiling of the literary-themed name chosen for the store: Cliffhanger Used Books. The name is inspired to convey the excitement of a page-turning suspense yarn, with a whimsical nod to our elevated local geography. The name will also give the store a unique identity to help in its future marketing efforts and in the ability to list specialty and collectible books through online sources.

Monday will be able to explore newly-received items before the general public.

This month, anyone can become a member simply by purchasing a Rotary Duck Race ticket at the used bookstore.

The Library Friends & Foundation expresses its gratitude to the large team of volunteers who have been working since January to help with the set-up and renovations to the building.

Thanks also goes to Kind Coffee and Snowy Peaks Winery for helping sponLocated at 191 West Riverside Drive in sor the Ribbon-Cutting Day celebration.

Estes Park Archives “Summer Of 55” Program

Individual buildings up and down Elkhorn Avenue in the 1950s, including the Sherwood Hotel (center). Photograph courtesy Estes Park Archives

A home movie surfaced on the market recently with six minutes of footage of a vacationing family in downtown Estes Park, labeled "Summer 1956". Yet the Sherwood Hotel was plainly visible on a pan down West Elkhorn, and the Sherwood Hotel burned to the ground on Valentine's Day 1956.

This color footage captures the vibrancy of downtown Estes Park businesses in a way no newspaper photographs or chrome postcards of the era can. So it is important to establish exactly when it was taken, to place the images in their proper context.

Join the Estes Park Archives this Saturday, April 13 at Molly B's Restaurant on 200 Moraine Avenue to view the converted video and learn about efforts to contact the photographer's family for additional information.

Based on businesses pictured, we have assigned a working date of "summer 1955" to the footage, but would appreciate anyone with a knowledge of vintage automobiles to attend, and confirm or correct our suspicion. We will explore other potential dates using available Vacationlands from the 1950s, as well as Trail Vacation Editions.

The program is free and begins at 10:00 a.m. sharp. All are invited, even those visiting Estes Park for the first time. Plenty of parking is available across the street. Call 970 586-4889 to make reservations or for additional information.

Three months ago we lost one of America’s most beloved poets, Mary Oliver. I’ve appreciated her work for years but when I learned of her death, my interest in her poems was renewed and now, after more exposure to her verse, I have grown to not just like, but adore her poetry.

(She is one whose name sounds best when both first and last are included, together, as if one word. MaryOliver. MarkTwain. Not Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

He’s just Longfellow.)

Mary Oliver’s poems address the common details of the everyday on one page (her dog chewing on a book) while a turn of the page leads us to consider humanity’s affect on the environment (the sky, wildlife, trees, water). Overarching all though, is her deeply heartfelt celebration of nature, her radiant observation of the smallest of beings (grasshoppers) and the vast entity to which we pray (God?).

As promised last week, here is the Mary Oliver poem, “When I Am Among Trees, ” which I included in my Brooklyn Art Library Sketchbook, A Walk in the Trees.

When I am among the trees, especially the willows and the honey locust, equally the beech, the oaks, and the pines, they give off such hints of gladness.

I would almost say that they save me, and daily.

I am so distant from the hope of myself, in which I have goodness, and discernment, and never hurry through the world but walk slowly, and bow often.

Around me the trees stir in their leaves and call out, “Stay awhile.”

The light flows from their branches.

And they call again, “It’s simple, ” they say, “and you, too, have come into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled with light, and to shine. ”

each other? Who is this I’ve been living with for thirty years?

This clear, dark, lovely whistler?

Lastly, because death came to Mary Oliver in January and she proposed the experience to be one of curiosity and wonder, and because this poem gave us the perfect words, “When it's over, I want to say all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms, ” here is “When Death Comes”: When death comes like the hungry bear in autumn; when death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse to buy me, and snaps the purse shut; when death comes like the measle-pox when death comes like an iceberg between the shoulder blades, I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering: what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness?

And therefore I look upon everything as a brotherhood and a sisterhood, and I look upon time as no more than an idea, and I consider eternity as another possibility, and I think of each life as a flower, as common as a field daisy, and as singular, and each name a comfortable music in the mouth, tending, as all music does, toward silence,

and each body a lion of courage, and I am discovering that often, the more familiar a poem becomes to my ear, the more something it grows in my heart. A Mary Oliver prose precious to the earth. poem that is now one of my favorites is “The Whistler” because my affiliate Joe has When it's over, I want to say all my life memorized it and recites it often: I was a bride married to amazement.

I was the bridegroom, taking the world All of a sudden she began to whistle. By into my arms. all of a sudden I mean that for more than thirty years she had not whistled. It was When it's over, I don't want to wonder thrilling. At first I wondered, who was in if I have made of my life something parthe house, what stranger? I was upstairs ticular, and real. reading, and she was downstairs. As from the throat of a wild and cheerful bird, not caught but visiting, the sounds warbled I don't want to find myself sighing and and slid and doubled back and larked and frightened, soared. or full of argument.

Finally I said, Is that you? Is that you whistling? Yes, she said. I used to whistle, a long time ago. Now I see I can still whistle.

And cadence after cadence she strolled through the house, whistling.

I know her so well, I think. I thought. Elbow and ankle. Mood and desire. Anguish and frolic. Anger too. And the devotions.

And for all that, do we even begin to know

I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.

Adopting A Duck For $20 Could Mean Winning $5,000 Or A Trip!

Resorts near Yellowstone, Yosemite, Glacier National Park await winners By: Rita DuChateau If the Fall River is emerging from the ice, the Estes Park Rotary Duck Race Festival must be just around the bend - and thousands of little yellow rubber ducks must be getting ready for their race downriver on May 4.

The day of the race is always exciting for spectators who gather for the famous Duck Drop, visit Participating Organizations’ displays, enjoy live entertainment, and wait for the little swimmers to cross the finish line. But as everyone knows, the most awaited moments of the Duck Race Festival are those spent at the Prize Boards, scanning the names of hundreds of winners to see which rubber ducks earned prizes, large and small.

The 2019 Duck Race Festival is encouraging Duck Adoptions with a major cash prize and three getaway packages with accommodations donated by Delaware North Parks and Resorts and trip expenses provided by the Estes Park Duck Race. Major prizes include: • Grand Prize $5,000 cash. Generous corporate sponsors make this possible, and one lucky Duck Adopter will win the cash prize.

Glacier National Park is a mere 25 miles away, offering an abundance of recreational opportunities. The package includes access to all amenities: continental breakfast, stand-up paddle boards, kayaks, bicycles; a guided trip to Glacier National Park; and a round of golf.

2018 winners give trips 5 stars

Patsy Nevill and her sons visited Florida and the Kennedy Space Center Last year’ winners report that their Complex and Cape Canaveral. She stays at Delaware North properties were memorable and exciting. Two of the recipients recently returned from their adventures. Winners of two other trips are using their vouchers this month.

Trip prizes are valid for a year.

Karen Archer won the trip to Yellowstone in winter and visited with her daughter.

“All the details were just perfect and the cabin we stayed in was so cute and comfortable,” Archer said. “The snowbanks in town were about 10 feet tall so it was truly a winter wonderland.

The snow cat tour to Old Faithful was wonderful and we had picked the best weather day of our trip to go. Learned so much about the geology, flora and fauna of the park and saw tons of bison. We also met so many nice people on the coach from all over the U.S. We saw “Captain Marvel” at the IMAX and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the grizzly bears and wolves at the sanctuary. So as you can tell, we were so thankful to have won this wonderful trip from last year’s Duck Race in Estes Park. A great big thank you to all your wonderful volunteers and to you for all the organizational help setting this up for us.”

thanked Rotary for arranging the trip.

“I would like to thank Delaware North, too, for coordinating all the tours and the lunch with an astronaut.

Everything was so interesting. What a wonderful experience for me and my sons,” Nevill said.

You can hear all about her trip if you stop by the club’s Duck Adoption Sales table at Nicky’s on Race Day. The Rotary Club of Estes Park enhanced each trip donated by Delaware North with $1,000 for transportation costs.

Estes Park Patriots For Peace Meeting April 17 As a transpartisan, inclusive organization dedicated in part to “building a culture of peace at all levels of society,” the Estes Park Patriots for Peace are pleased to invite you to join us for our next meeting in the Wasson Room of the Estes Valley Public Library on Wednesday, April 17 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. (Please note the slight time change). We will focus on learning from the high school seniors who have applied for our “Peacemaker” scholarship. They have been invited to share their efforts and experiences as Peace-

makers and how they plan to continue those efforts following graduation. Light refreshments will be served.

We also thank Mary Barron, Restorative Practice Coordinator in our local school district for her knowledgeable and engaging presentation at our March meeting, where she explained in helpful detail how the Restorative Practices

Model is being integrated into the schools. We are encouraged by the adoption of this program into our schools, as it parallels our own organization’s mission in so many ways.

Our group continues to support the broader Restorative Justice Model in our community, and is grateful to the many individuals and organizations whose participation is having a positive impact in our lives.

Additionally, we are happy to announce our next Sweet Peace Jam, a scholarship benefit do-it-ourselves concert and potluck feast to be held Saturday, May 18 at

the EVPRD Community Center, 4-9 p.m. in the Chiquita Room. The venue and routine will feature more “jamming” together and less “performing” for others than last year, but the music, food and camaraderie may well be just as wonderful as before.

Finally, we hope you can have the satisfaction of waging peace by being kind to our home planet in whatever “spring cleaning” may be right at this time.

There are thousands of ways and 365 days to celebrate Earth Day every year.

We believe the people in our community are fortunate to have so many opportunities to do just that.

Updates From UC Health Timberline Medical Center It is with great pleasure - and a bit of sadness - that I write this tribute to two of the most dedicated physicians who have served our Estes Park community.

This month, Dr. Paul Fonken will be decreasing his clinic hours so that he may dedicate more time to his passion of volunteering overseas, and Dr. Bruce Woolman will be retiring from his many years of service to our community. We humbly send these two professionals off to new chapters in their lives and wish them luck and happiness in all of their new endeavors.

Together, they have served the community for 47 years and have cared for thousands of patients during their time here at UCHealth Timberline Medical Center. They will both leave a tremendous legacy through the many lives that they have touched.

Dr. Woolman started his medical career in 1980. Initially, he served in the military for 20 years before moving to Estes Park. While here, he served as chief of staff at Estes Park Medical Center – now Estes Park Heath - and was

well loved by many patients at UCHealth Timberline Medical Center. He has always been very passionate about being in the medical profession and caring for his patients the best way that he can. He has supported their care and given them the strength to move forward with their illness. He also has been a trusted provider and will be missed greatly by the staff and his personal patients that he has cared for over the decades. For those that know him they would agree about Paul W. Fonken, MD how much of an avid Denver Broncos fan he is. We hope he can celebrate success with the Broncos in the future by continuing to attend every home game.

Brian Schaffer, Executive Director of Crossroads, said “Over 260 enCourtesy photo thusiastic supporters came together at Hyde Chapel to enjoy a night of John Denver songs performed by Brad Fitch.

F.O Stanley’s Life: Inspiration To Action For Civic Leaders And Community Members Planning is underway for training programs to accomplish a key part of the Historic Stanley Home Museum and Education Center’s mission. Examples from F. O. Stanley’s life will be used as inspiration to action on contemporary challenges for civic leaders and community members.

Among the Inspiration to Action themes are: Effective Civic Engagement: Stanley identified community needs, worked effectively with others, and then became an active participant in addressing those needs. He played a significant role in many projects that were of direct benefit to the Estes Park community. These included major infrastructure projects like road improvements from Lyons to Estes Park (which he helped improve twice), the first water company, the first hydroelectric plant, the first fish hatchery, and Estes Park’s first bank. Later he would be a part of establishing the Town’s first country club and golf course as well as playing an important supportive role in the creation of Rocky Mountain National Park.

Innovator/Entrepreneur: From the age of nine, F.O. and his twin F. E. Stanley started a series of business ventures.

They identified opportunities and then took advantage of them, from first making and selling wooden tops to playmates, crafting and selling wooden loom

parts to local weavers, then making sap buckets for the local maple sugar business. After teaching for eight years, F.O. Stanley started a business selling school supplies, later joining his twin in the Stanley Dry Plate Company, then worked with his twin to build a steam automobile and create the Stanley Motor Carriage Company. Later, he built the Stanley Hotel (11 buildings in all--a tremendous and unprecedented achievement considering the time and place), and developed and manufactured the Stanley Mountain Wagon to transport visitors to and from Estes Park.

Education Advocate: Although he left teaching after eight years, Stanley continued his support of education throughout his life. A graduate of Herbron Academy in his native Maine, Stanley served as Board of Trustees President for 26 years. Among his many gifts to Hebron were a powerful telescope for its observatory, Stanley Arena (the first covered ice hockey facility in an American preparatory school), Stanley Infirmary, and $200,000 to build a new and badly-needed gymnasium.

Stanley is also reported to have supported a number of students’ higher ed-

ucation by funding their tuition.

Supporter of the Arts: Growing up, the Stanley family emphasized the value of education including the arts, music, and poetry. At age 11, Stanley made his first violin under the guidance of his greatuncle, and then taught himself to play it. He also composed music for the violin and continued making violins of concert quality throughout his life. F.O. and his wife Flora loved classical music and had music rooms in their homes. The Stanley Hotel included both a music room and a music hall with concerts that were open to the people of Estes Park.

Philanthropist: Stanley donated land to the Town of Estes Park for a new school, and later donated 52 acres of land that became the Stanley Fairgrounds.

Persistence to Overcome Adversity: Stanley’s life included a series of challenges, from the fire that destroyed his first business producing school supplies to repeated bouts with tuberculosis. The recurrence of tuberculosis in 1903 was responsible for his arrival in Denver Colorado for treatment and resulted in his eventually spending all of his summers in Estes Park. When problems arose, he solved them. Faced with adversity, Stanley persisted and found a way to effectively deal with the challenges.

Audacious Foresight: At a time when the roads into the Estes Valley were suitable for travel only by horse or oxcart, Stanley imagined that, as his living in the area had helped restore his health, the valley could become a major tourist destination for others. He took bold and coordinated action to realize his vision. As the pedestal inscription beneath Stanley's statue in front of the Stanley Hotel reads: "The Stanley legacy in Estes Park . .. is far larger and more enduring than any of the historic structures that bear his name. It is a legacy that extends to community and region and to the dreams of a remarkable man who through ingenuity, courage and persistence found ways to harness the emerging technological forces of the twentieth century to make those dreams a reality."

Please join us in preserving and celebrating the life and accomplishments of F. O and Flora Stanley by supporting the mission of the Historic Stanley Home Foundation to purchase, renovate, preserve and operate Rockside, the F. O. Stanley home, as the Historic Stanley Home Museum and Education Center.

To learn more or find out how you can be a part of this important effort, please visit the Historic Stanley Home Foundation website at www.historicstanleyhome.org or Like Us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/historicstanleyhome. You can also call Tom Shamburg at 970-590-9468 for more information.

Struggling to Control Blood Sugar Levels or Lose Weight? Diabetes Cooking Classes Start April 25

Chazz Glaze

Learn How a Healthy Diet Can Help with Type 2 Diabetes and Weight Management The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a nonprofit dedicated to promoting preventive medicine, is offering a cooking class designed to help local residents with type 2 diabetes avoid complications from the disease and reduce or eliminate the need for medications.

Food for Life: The Power of Food for Diabetes Nutrition and Cooking Class teaches participants how food choices can prevent and treat type 2 diabetes and arms them with practical cooking skills for making healthy and delicious meals.

People who have type 2 diabetes, or concerns about developing diabetes, and their friends and family members will benefit from the class.

“Research shows type 2 diabetes can be controlled and even reversed with a healthy plant-based diet,” says Susan Levin, M.S., R.D., the director of nutrition education for PCRM. “A vegan diet can help people with diabetes control blood sugar more effectively than the standard diabetes dietary regimen.”

The class, designed by physicians, diabetes educators, registered dietitians, and professional chefs, offers an easy-tofollow dietary approach based on scien-

tific research. Population studies and clinical research show that a low-fat, plant-based diet is effective at improving blood glucose levels, promoting weight loss, reducing cholesterol, and lowering the risk of diabetes and other chronic diseases.

Local instructor Chazz Glaze will cover important diabetesnutrition topics and guide students through the preparation of tasty and easy-to-prepare recipes.

Trout in the Classroom and Estes Valley Watershed Coalition Celebrating Earth Day

WHEN SECONDS COUNT...

YOU CAN COUNT ON US! Trout in the Classroom (TIC) is a conservation-oriented, environmental education program for elementary, middle, and high school students. Through the school year, students: ● Raise trout from eggs to fry; ● Monitor tank water quality; ● Engage in stream habitat study; ● Learn to appreciate water resources; ● Begin to foster a conservation ethic; ● Grow to understand ecosystems Most programs end the year by releasing their trout in a state-approved stream near the school or within a nearby watershed. During the year each teacher tailors the program to fit his or her curricular needs. Therefore, each program is unique. TIC has interdisciplinary applications in science, social studies, mathematics, language arts, fine arts and physical education.

The 2019 Polar Bear Plunge was held at Trout Haven Resorts on March 2 with a great turnout, despite the weather. The first annual fundraiser was held to start a Trout in the Classroom (TIC) program in the Estes Park Elementary School.

Community members and local business

teams took the plunge to raise the money for two state-of-the-art aquariums that are now installed in the third grade department. Starting March 12, students will be working with a fisheries biologist to hatch and raise rainbow trout, with in-depth lessons in trout ecology at each life stage.

Third graders were chosen as the beneficiaries of this project because the TIC program aligns with the Colorado Department of Education's third grade standards for learning, but the program is going to grow to other grade levels as well as the middle and high schools as the program evolves. This year, third graders will be learning about the rainbow trout's life cycle, habitat selection, temperature-dependent growth and development, and general trout ecology.

They will also be doing dissections, which is always the favorite lesson. We are partnering with the Estes Valley Watershed Coalition to do a field trip to streams that are scoured and streams that have been restored after the 2013 flood to identify good trout habitat and demonstrate the benefits of freshwater conservation and restoration.

Once in awhile you will come across a humorous statement about the resurrection of people from the dead. Several years ago, a friend invited me to fly in his small plane to Cabelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Sidney, Nebraska to shop. After a delightful flight, we exited the plane and entered the airport office. A poster on the wall caught my eye. Someone had neatly penned these words: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in the resurrection of the dead, you should be here at closing time!â&#x20AC;? I wondered if the employees of the airport chuckled at the poster like I did. And I never forgot it.

Unlike that poster, however, most people take the resurrection seriously, especially as we approach this next week when millions will be celebrating the resurrection of Christ from the deadâ&#x20AC;Śand all the implications that it has for our own life after death. As EPMC Hospice volunteers, we visit caregivers as they care for loved ones, whose departures are imminent. Sometimes we meet with survivors in our grief groups who deal with recent losses. We know that few of these would take the resurrection of the dead lightly. Ponder grieving families you know who lost someone after a courageous battle with some disease.

Next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus on the resurrection of Christ will bring words of hope and encouragement.

Author Tony Campolo tells of an experience that shares and instills such hope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I belong to a minority church in West Philadelphia. One Good Friday there were several of us preaching back-to-back.â&#x20AC;? He shared how good he felt about his message and the receptivity of the people toward it. However, that quickly vanished as he heard the next speaker. He writes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;He started his sermon real softly by saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It was Friday, but Sunday was cominâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;! It was Friday and my Jesus was dead on the tree. But that was Friday, and Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cominâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; As the audience warmed up to those words, he continued: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It was Friday and Mary was cryinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; her eyes out. The disciples were runninâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in every direction, like sheep without a shepherd. But that was Friday, and Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cominâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Now the audience was really getting into it and he continued: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It was Friday. The Pharisees were struttinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; around laughinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and gloatinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. They thought they were back in charge of things. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it was only Friday. Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cominâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. It was Friday! And on Friday, those that oppress the poor and make people suffer were in control. But that was Friday! Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cominâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;!â&#x20AC;? By the time he came to the end of his message all of us were so worked up we could hardly wait to respond. At the end of his message he just yelled at the top of his lungs, â&#x20AC;&#x153;ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S FRIDAY!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And all five hundred of us yelled back with one accord, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;BUT SUNDAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S COMINâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Tony continues, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Good News! That is the word that the world is waiting to hear. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to go out and tell the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people. When they are depressed, or feel they can never love again, or when they have lost their faith and feel that they can no longer expect great things from God, we must tell them that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;SUNDAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S COMINâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;!â&#x20AC;?

I hope all of us share in Tonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confident testimony: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, because to all who are on the brink of despair, I can yell at the top of my lungs, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Friday, but Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming!â&#x20AC;?

And you and me? Are we excited that, after all the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fridaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; we will experience, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coming?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I certainly hope so. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tell the world.

Stream Rehabilitation Work On Fish Creek Receives Statewide Award

The award was accepted by (left to right) Jim Bunker, Project Superintendent for Tezak Heavy Equipment Company, Mario Jimenez, Project Manager for Tezak Heavy Equipment Company and Jim Daugherty, Board Member for Estes Valley Watershed Coalition.

The Colorado Contractor's Association has recognized one of the projects of the Estes Valley Watershed Coalition as one of the excellent water related projects in the State of Colorado.

The project, known as the Middle Fish Creek Project, was completed in late 2017 to repair damage caused by the 2013 flood. Major work was done on a number of reaches of the Fish Creek between Country Club Drive and Little Valley Road. The Middle Fish Creek Project was one of 14 stream repair projects completed by the Estes Valley Watershed Coalition.

The general contractor on the project, Tezak Heavy Equipment Company, submitted the project for the award. The re-

pair work was designed by Otak.

The first step in the renovation work was to remove large amounts of sediment left by the 2013 flood. Then the stream's floodplain was re-graded to a natural stream basin shape. Energy dissipation was achieved through a system of riffles, pools, and steps. Features were added that function similar to a small beaver dam. Natural vegetation was planted as the final step in the repair work.

The Colorado Contractor's Association annual 2018 H20 Award was given to the Estes Valley Watershed Coalition, Tezak Heavy Equipment Company (the construction contractor) and Otak (the design engineer).

Tucker Johnson 12th Grade

Sunrise Rotary Club Donates To Help Build New Homes In Juarez, Mexico Tuesday, February 19th was a very special day for the Estes Park Sunrise Rotary Club, for this was the day when our Rotary Club handed over a check for $2,500 to our sister Rotary Club in Fort Collins, The Rotary After Work Club, who is in the process of supporting the building of shelter homes at the Colorado Early College High School for the homeless down in Juarez, Mexico. The class at the school is a construction trade

class where the students learn the basic construction skills to become certified construction workers and become a much-needed commodity in the homebuilding trade. Upon completion of the homes, they are then sent down to Juarez and reassembled on site by another Sister Rotary Club, Club Rotario Campestre. To date this project has provided 41 homes for the homeless at the Juarez site.

Congratulations to Tucker Johnson, the Student of the Week for April 12, 2019.

At EPHS, Tucker enjoys being a member of the football and baseball teams. He has lettered in football three out of four years he’s played and lettered in baseball every year since his freshman year. He has also been team captain for both the baseball and football teams.

During his free time, he likes to do anything outside, especially fishing, riding his dirt bike and playing sports. He loves Hawaii Five-0 and just about any kind of juice.

Tucker’s favorite quote is, “Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard” by Tim Notke. This quote appeals to him because he says,

“With determination and a strong work ethic, everyone can be victorious.”

After high school, he plans to attend college and pursue a degree in criminal justice or marine biology.

Grateful For Rocky Mountain Health Club - Finding My Place In Estes Park By: Ellen Benes

Moving to a new town can be daunting. Luckily, I don’t mind change and I welcome adventure. Having never before set foot in Estes Park, I pulled into my new driveway at the end of May 2015. I quickly took to life in Estes Park. I had a wonderful new job and friends to help introduce me to life in the mountains. Even with everything I had, I felt like I was missing something. It took until the fall of 2016 for me to find Rocky Mountain Health Club. I had never been comfortable or motivated in a normal gym setting, so I needed something different.

The environment, exciting classes, and caring staff at RMHC were exactly what I had always been looking for in a gym.

It is a relaxed and comfortable environment full of wonderful people of all different backgrounds and fitness levels. It felt like home. The addition of the Heavy Bag and Functional Fitness rooms took my gym experience to a whole new level.

When Cardio Bag classes (Krav Maga based striking plus so much more) began, I dived right in and attended every

class that I could. I was being pushed mentally and physically every time I went to class. I was hooked. I quickly realized, with the guidance of gym owner and instructor David LaSalle, how much I loved to hit and to my surprise, that I was actually pretty good at it. After months of ignoring requests for me to help teach Cardio Bag classes, I pushed past the fear and I did it. Helping others learn made me realize that I had finally found my “thing.” Never in my life have I been so committed to my fitness or eager to improve my skill set.

Flash forward to 2019. David and I are now certified StrikeFit® Instructors and the only gym in Colorado with this cer-

tification. We are taking the original Cardio Bag class that many people know and love, to a new level.

We are eager to share this incredible class with more and more people. It is not only an amazing and unique workout, but it helps build important life skills.

I will be forever grateful to Rocky Mountain Health Club for improving all aspects of my life. I have made new

friends, learned new skills, improved my fitness and best of all, I found my place in Estes Park.

Check out Rocky Mountain Health Club on Facebook or online at www.RMHC.com for details and the current class schedule. Call 970-657-6333 for a personal tour.

Heritage Bigfoot Map of Estes Park (self guided tours) Celebrities to meet and greet James “Bobo” Fey Bobo was born and raised in Manhattan Beach, CA, and has been interested in the bigfoot mystery for as long as he can remember. Every choice in his life centered around his chances to see a sasquatch– surfing in Northern California, going to college in Palo Alto, and even touring as a roadie with the band Sublime allowed him to visit bigfoot habitats & interview people across the country about the elusive creature. In 2001, he saw his first bigfoot while on an investigation with researcher John Freitas. Today, Bobo makes his living as a commercial fisherman, always keeping his ear to the ground for bigfoot sightings and collecting dozens of reports each year.

Dr. Jeff Meldrum Trained in the anatomical sciences with an emphasis in physical anthropology, Dr. Meldrum teaches human regional

and sectional anatomy, evolution, and primate studies at Idaho State University.

He has published extensively on the evolutionary history of the South American primates and has described several new extinct species. His interests in the footprints attributed to an unrecognized North American ape, commonly known as sasquatch, came into focus when he literally crossed paths with an enigmatic set of tracks in the mountains of southeastern Washington State. He has conducted collaborative laboratory research and field work throughout the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West, as well as in Canada, China and Russia, and has been heard on NPR’s Science Friday and Radio West, and seen on The Today Show, National Geographic, Discovery, History, SyFy, AnimalPlanet, and more.

He was a featured scientist in Scientific American and the national AAAS webpage. His book, “Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science,” has been described as the best discussion of the legendary primate available. He edits online refereed journal The Relict Hominoid Inquiry (www.isu.edu/rhi).

The Estes Valley Economic Strategy Matters – Workforce and Education By: Adam Shake

In November 2015, Estes Park EDC and the Town of Estes Park completed the Estes Valley Economic Development Strategy in partnership with their consultant, Avalanche Consulting. The strategy contained research and the results of extensive community outreach to present a set of recommendations to help implement a vision for sustaining both our economic vitality and quality of life.

The Economic Strategy contains a playbook for progress, and is meant to guide future discussion on strategic priorities.

We created a report on meetings to share with Avalanche Consulting for their review. Avalanche Consulting will be back in Estes Park on April 22nd and 23rd to meet with Estes Park EDC and community stakeholders to present a report card on our progress. Those meetings take place on: April 22nd: 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. in the Estes Valley Library Hondius Room (Business Owners

and Entrepreneurs) 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. in the Estes Valley Library Hondius Room (CommunityWide Engagement) April 23rd: 8:30 to 9:45 a.m. in the Town of Estes Park Town Board Room (CommunityWide Engagement) 10:00 to 11:15 a.m. in the Town of Estes Park Town Board Room (Capacity Building with Business Groups) The first of this series of columns looked at Infrastructure. In this column, we’d like to share some information about our Workforce and Education meeting. The three major topics of discussion were workforce housing, education and childcare. These themes helped the consultant, Avalanche consulting, organize their recommendations for strategic action.

The Estes Valley Economic Development Strategy, under the heading Workforce & Education, states that “The Estes Valley attracts, retains, and trains a skilled workforce that is supported by a mix of housing options and multigenerational community resources. High demand for housing and limited supply have raised housing costs over the years to the point that home ownership is out of reach for many residents and workers, particularly in middle-income professions. These limitations have created distinct challenges for local businesses and institutions when trying to attract and

retain talented employees critical to community health – including nurses, police officers, and even young, skilled professionals. High costs and limited availability of housing, alongside inadequate childcare options and other concerns, lead many working professionals, particularly those with families, to seek new employment opportunities in other communities, creating high turnover and costs for local businesses.”

The Estes Valley also needs to invest in the future workforce by establishing education programs that prepare local students for jobs in the community and attract the best and brightest from around the country and world to new opportunities.”

Successes There have been a number of workforce housing projects approved since 2018 in the wake of code changes designed to incentivize workforce or attainable housing. Some are under construction, and there are also projects likely to file in 2019. As a resort community, we have focused our efforts on multi-family and workforce-oriented housing, and major organizations are becoming engaged.

Educationally, there are a number of specific programs being developed in the Estes Valley to serve the vocational needs of Estes Valley high school students. The Estes Park School District is implementing the CareerWise program in the fall of 2019. https://www.careerwisecolorado.org/theprogram/why-it-works/ In reference to child care, Estes Park EDC was asked to organize and sponsor a Childcare Services Committee, bringing together key stakeholders to begin strategic work on improving access to child care. With active help from the committee, we raised over $40,000 for a Childcare Needs Assessment, partnering with EVICS as fiscal agent for the project. We completed the Childcare Needs Assessment in February 2018. Estes Early Childhood Education formed in 2018, and is putting the pieces in place for de-

veloping a childcare center plan and conducting a capital campaign to fund it.

Challenges Not every workforce housing project is still going forward. The 70-plus acre Fish Hatchery Road property owned by the Town of Estes Park was put on hold in the summer of 2018 and seems unlikely to proceed based on substantial infrastructure costs. As well, the Dry Gulch property and Twin Owls Motor Lodge rezonings did not move forward as planned.

When it comes to education and childcare, challenges appear to center on the theme of greater alignment and communication among key stakeholders as well as funding for childcare facilities and skilled caregivers.

Opportunities The meeting participants also identified new possible opportunities that reflect current community needs like: 1. A source of dedicated and continuous funding for all these causes.

2. Better stakeholder communication and messaging as well as long term strategies.

3. The ability of employers to assist employees with workforce housing, educational and childcare programs.

4. Round trip transportation to/from Ft. Collins, Loveland… and the Estes Valley and within the Estes Valley for work as well as access to services.

We thank all the participants and the facilitators for helping us efficiently gather and present information from a wide variety of projects. Accordingly, we also thank James Carr, Russ Nehrig and Susan Thomas who volunteered as facilitators. All three work with Restorative Justice and are available to facilitate meetings.

Part three of these articles will provide an update on the status of Business Climate. To see the full report on the Infrastructure meeting, please visit www.estesparkedc.com

OSEP Presents A Musical Travelogue Of Europe

By: Doug Fox

Germany, Spain, France, and England all have an influence on the spring concert of the Oratorio Society of Estes Park. The concert is April 26 and 27 at Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies.

"It is a kind of a European travelogue in a lot of ways," says conductor and music director Robert Charles Howard. "We're starting with Beethoven's Egmont Overture." It was written during the Napoleonic Wars in the early 1800s and became the unofficial national anthem of the Hungarian revolution in 1956.

That is followed by George Friderick Handel's Concerto for Harp in Bb with guest harpist Kathryn Harms of Boulder.

Harms teaches harp and performs professionally throughout Colorado and New Mexico including appearances with the New Mexico Philharmonic, Boulder

Philharmonic, Fort Collins Symphony, National Repertory Orchestra, and the Ars Nova Singers.

The OSEP orchestra then touches on France and Spain with Georges Bizet's Carmen Suite. "It's like hopping to two countries at once because Bizet is French and you get the Spanish content," says Howard. The Carmen Suite, he says, should have strong audience appeal.

The first half of the concert is orchestral; the chorus sings in the second half.

"The Coronation anthem called Zadok the Priest by George Friderick Handel has been played at every coronation in England since it was written in 1727 for

the coronation of King George II," explains Howard.

That is followed by Mozart's Regina Coeli, Queen of Heaven. Two quartets are featured including Karen Johnson, Kristi Fjare, Scott Anderson, Jim Docter, Jane Stuart, Mark Richards, and Robert Gunn.

Howard says Mendelssohn's Psalm 42 is "an extraordinarily beautiful lyric piece with a kind of nature theme to it."

The concert concludes with John Rutter's Te Deum Laudamus.

"It's a lot of different styles," says Howard. "It's adventurous for the orchestra and the chorus because you get to present different kinds of styles and music. It's an interesting task for the players and the singers to try to get to the heart and try to represent all those different viewpoints -- different styles, different places, different times chronologically. I think that makes it an interesting and colorful palate for the audience."

The concert is Friday, April 26 at 7:00 p.m. and repeats on Saturday, April 27th at 2:00 p.m. at Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, 1700 Brodie Avenue in Estes Park.

Admission is free. Donations are gratefully accepted at intermission and at the

MEADOW TOWNHOME VACATION RENTAL

Local Experts Have Advice For First-Time Homebuyers Critical life choices. These three words can sound a bit intimidating. But really, they’re the choices that involve some of life’s happiest decisions.

A critical life choice can be: Where do we choose to live? What do we choose as a career? Where should we invest our savings? Even choosing between a dog or a cat can be a critical life choice.

You’ve told us in surveys and feedback that you want the library to offer programs on critical life choices, so we’ve made that a priority in our Strategic Plan. And that’s the motivation behind an exciting program next week: Advice for First-Time Homebuyers. We’ve invited local experts to help you in your journey toward home ownership and answer your questions.

Home ownership can be one of life’s greatest dreams come true. Join us for the workshop this Tuesday, April 16 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Simply register at estesvalleylibrary.org.

While this session is especially for firsttime buyers, second-time buyers seeking a refresher are invited too. Along with anyone who is just giving thought to home ownership sometime in the future.

It may help you decide if the time is right to buy, or if renting makes more sense for now.

Best of all, Tuesday’s panelists are local experts with local insights. They are familiar with the unique opportunities and the unique challenges of today’s active local real estate market.

They also have firsthand knowledge of special programs for first-time homebuyers, including down-payment assistance programs and attainable home ownership developments right here in Estes Park.

We’ll be joined by: Naomi Hawf from the Estes Park Housing Authority; Rich Flannery of Mortgage Solutions of Colorado; Michael Clark of Premier Members Credit Union; Elfriede Leicht of Colorado Housing and Finance Authority; and Barb Bibler of Premier Members Credit Union.

And don’t forget the many helpful resources you’ll find in the library’s collection, like “Nolo’s Guide to Buying Your First Home” by Ilona Bray and Joe Breckner’s “Buying the Best Home.”

When you settle in to that new space, you can save money and take pride in the improvements you make. Books like these can be your guide: “Spend-a-little Save-a-lot Home Improvements,” “1001 Home Details,” “Sage Living: Decorate for the Life You Want,” and “52 Weekend Decorating Projects.”

If, by choice or circumstance, your new home is charmingly cozy, we’ve got resources on maximizing your spaces and the popular trend toward small-cabin and tiny-home living.

We hope Tuesday’s workshop will be a valuable step in your path to finding your dream home. The library is here to help with your life’s critical choices— and everything in between.

month from 2-3:30 p.m.

All affected by this progressive neurological disease are welcome to attend to bring their own experiences, strength and hope and come together for the good of the group. Questions, comments? Call Linda Hanak at 970-443-8146.

Choices By: Judi Smith

The world has certainly changed since I was a kid, swimming in an ocean that contained nothing but salt and sealife.

Even in the 1980s, we were skipping some Florida beaches that simply looked too cluttered with trash to be good play spaces for our children, simultaneously telling ourselves that Colorado was too far away to contribute to recovery. Not quite true. This is (and therefore was) a world-wide problem.

I can remember returning “pop” bottles to the grocery store when two bottles equaled one comic book. Today, where there is still bottle return, a comic book could require at least 140 bottles. A Pocket History of Bottle Recycling” from the Feb 27, 2013 issue of The Atlantic states, “Their loss of value is not just a result of technological and material improvements, but also of social, economic and political choices by consumers, corporations and policy makers (or, as we too often call it, ‘the market’).” This is all too true in a much broader sense. While we, as a society, generally consider the market (for any product) to be determined by the price, the truth is that if we, as consumers, apply our choices appropriately (or, for that matter, inappropriately), we control “the market.” If we only buy eggs in cardboard cartons, then styrofoam cartons will disappear. If we do not buy plastic #3, #6, and #7 – there will be no incentive to create them.

And it goes to follow, if no-one buys recycled goods, then there is no incentive to collect and recycle. When China quit accepting our garbage mixed in with recycling, the market for recyclables took a serious hit. (In January 2018 they cut acceptable contamination levels from 50% to 5%. In January 2019, they quit importing recyclables from the United States.) As a direct result of the depressed market for contaminated recyclables, many government owned recycling programs are restricting their intake, increasing fees, and resorting to laws and mandates to control rising costs.

These may be necessary, but we must make sure they address environmental costs as well. Recycling has never been free. Whether the funds come from taxes, appear on the water bill, or are collected by user fees, there is a financial cost to be covered. Most communities are instituting a PAYT (pay as you throw) plan for recycling to encourage reducing

waste and many are mandating penalties for contamination (fines or simply skipping collection of the entire bin).

There are several proposals throughout Colorado for laws restricting availability of one-time plastics. However, in 1993, Colorado passed a law that prohibits municipalities from banning or otherwise restricting plastic sales. That law, initiated by a desire to improve recycling, had unintended consequences.

Who knew then how much trouble an over abundance of plastic could cause?

Who imagined, then, that anyone would ever want to ban such a useful material?

Today, we have choices: 1) public single stream recycling at the (county operated) EP Transfer Station (or the soon to open Residential Recycling Station). 2) curbside single stream recycling from Waste Management or Doering Disposal, 3) source separated glass recycling (near the Event Center parking), 4) source separated metal collection from Front Range metal recyclers (who buy metal but we must deliver or use a private metal hauler) and 5) our local thrift shops who are a great solution for what is clean and reusable, Then add to that all the Planet Partners who collect a single product for reuse or recycling. More choices come with more complexity.

Upcoming LWV events include April 23 Proclamation for Estes Recycles Day and Awards for Poster Design Contest (6:30 p.m. approx. Town Hall). April 24 (10 a.m., Estes Valley Library Hondius Room) for the RMNP Update, and again on April 24 “Pizza and Politics” for Junior Election (6 p.m. Estes Park High School Library). Estes Recycles Day is June 8.

What The Recall Petition Has Taught Us Dear Estes Park, The recall petition of Mayor Todd Jirsa and Trustee Cody Walker has taught us some sad things about Estes Park.

The civil discourse used by the petition gatherers leaves a question as to what the petition is really about. Some potential signers are told it is going to stop the alpine coaster, but that is not true. If you have to mislead people into getting signatures, where is the integrity? These two men are accused of lying, and yet, the recall petition folks have no problem doing it themselves.

Micromanaging is rampant in Estes Park. We elect officials and need to let them do their job. Yes, we should pay attention, but it seems everyone with an opinion wants to be in charge. We live in an amazing place, there are better ways to spend time than micromanaging.

Children are pawns. Perhaps without even realizing it, when parents use their children to push their own narrative,

they teach bullying to the next generation.

The rhetoric used by the people pushing to recall good men has spawned dangerous acts by others, many of which have not been made public.

The people pushing for a recall have judged and found guilty two men in a society that has always presumed innocence. This recall is an embarrassment to our town and the two local business owners who are serving our town with integrity.

We support good men and oppose this recall.

Sincerely, Michelle Hurni John Davis Bill Howell Judy Howell Mack Hunt Judy Hunt Gordon Slack

Dear Nonprofit: You Have A New Planned Gift Estes Valley Legacy is a collaborative of fifteen Estes Valley nonprofits that encourage planned giving to local nonprofits. Together, the group has a goal of establishing or uncovering 100 planned gifts

by November 2019.

This program is managed by the Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center, which provides leadership and administrative support. Each nonprofit has a designated champion (advocate) and the group has an experienced planned giving educator. Consultations with the educator are free and confidential. Most people give to two or three organizations (be they all local or distributed between local and national organizations). Below is an example of an email correspondence that went out twice this week, notifying a few fortunate nonprofits that they have received a planned gift.

Dear Local Nonprofit, John and Sue Smith have become members of the Fall River Society, a group that has designated a planned gift to a local nonprofit. There are now 36 members of the Fall River Society! We just received their membership information indicating that they left a planned gift to your organization. Do you know John and Sue Smith?

Best, Estes Valley Legacy Dear Estes Valley Legacy, Yahoo! YES, we know them! She is a regular supporter. But I did not know about the gift. This came directly from

the meeting with Kent (planned giving educator) back in January, so be sure to thank him, too. What is the appropriate protocol for us to acknowledge and thank them? This is amazing news!

Local Nonprofit It is a Publisher Clearing House moment when nonprofits get notified of a planned gift. Planned giving can be extremely easy and does not always involve a will (or a lawyer). For example, designating a nonprofit as a beneficiary—or partial beneficiary— on your life insurance or on your investments is a simple sign off on paperwork. If you have questions or wish to talk to a planned giving educator, you can connect with Estes Valley Legacy at estesvalleylegacy@gmail.com The Estes Park Health Foundation is one of the fifteen members of Estes Valley Legacy. In an effort to provide a deeper dive into estate planning (and probate, in this case), they are hosting Carl Robicheaux, an attorney in Estes Park, for a workshop on April 17, 1:30 p.m. Mr. Robicheaux has practiced law for 31 years and is licensed in Colorado, Louisiana and Connecticut.

He can provide answers to your questions regarding wills, trusts, powers of attorney and advanced directives, also known as living wills. This workshop takes place at the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, 1700 Brodie Avenue, Estes Park. For info on this Estes Park Health Foundation event, call 970-577-4370 to RSVP, or email psavelsberg@eph.org.

Thanks For Wonderful Community Wellness Night At EPHS Dear Estes Valley Community, I wanted to express our sincere gratitude to the volunteers and attendees of Community Wellness Night 2019. This event is organized by Estes Park School District’s Social/Emotional Learning Team. This team is comprised of myself (District Mental Health Clinician), Lazlo Hunt (Student Services Director), Mary Barron (Restorative Practices Coordinator), Teresa McCorkin (District Psychologist), Kara McNamara (High School Counselor), Lindsey Hodges (Middle School Counselor), and Shannon Ritchey (Elementary School Counselor).

Community Wellness Night began in 2017 and we are excited to continue to grow this evening of community, wellness, and education. We began the event with a resource fair and complimentary food catered by Estes Park High School’s ProStart Team. We then were lucky enough to host Aaron Huey, founder of Fire Mountain Treatment Center in his keynote address of “The Decisions Teens Make and Why: Brain Development in the Information Age.” Attendees expressed what a dynamic speaker Aaron was while also being able to provide tangible tips for parents that they could utilize as soon as they got home from the event. Then, we hosted a wide variety of breakouts on various wellness topics such as: “Up in Smoke: Trends in Teen Vaping”, “Understanding and Supporting Your Elementary-Aged Child(ren): Recognizing Trauma and Resources for Overall Growth, Healing, and Success,” “How to Talk to a Loved One You are Concerned About,” “Summer Strategies Creating a Successful Summer with Your Teen,” and more. Physical, social, and emotional wellness are an extremely important part of our global outcomes for our students. Our community partners

and volunteers are key resources to help families with this work outside of school. In these times, the adage “it takes a village” rings truer that ever. It was humbling to witness the dedicated efforts of this year’s volunteers.

Regarding The Stormwater Proposal Trustees-City of Estes Park, I have noted quite a bit of consternation about the stormwater proposal, even in the paper. Once again I’m sending this note that I am absolutely opposed to the storm water system. It just won’t work.

In regard to the stormwater proposal, I am adamantly opposed to this proposition.

Identifying it as a fee is nothing but nonsense...it’s truly a tax. This tax is for the betterment of only the downtown property owners and not me or any of my fellow neighbors.

Celebrating #42 On April 15th To the Editor: On Monday, April 15th millions of Americans will take part in that annual ritual of filing their federal income tax returns. Another significant event that took place on that day more than 70 years ago will be overlooked by most of us, save for those attending major league baseball games where every player on every team will be wearing jersey number 42.

It was April 15, 1947 when Jack Roosevelt Robinson trotted out to his first base position at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn wearing jersey number 42, and became the first black player in major league history. Robinson went hitless in three at bats, reached base on an error and then scored the winning run as the Dodgers beat the Boston Braves 5-3.

As a major leaguer, Robinson proved his worth over a ten year career which included being named to the National League All-Star team 6 times, the Most Valuable Player Award in 1949, a 1955 World Series Championship and induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962; his first year of eligibility Jackie Robinson will be remembered in baseball parks around the country on April 15 not only for his exploits on the field but also for his courage and determination as one of America’s great civil rights leaders.

Few people could have handled the pressure and endured the abject degradation and outright hatred hurled at Robinson during that rookie season of 1947. Branch Rickey, owner and President of the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, was determined to break the color barrier in major league baseball. He needed a pioneer, a man who could keep his cool, withstand the verbal and physical abuse that was sure to come, and still play the game at the highest level. He

found that man in Jackie Robinson.

The resistance began immediately.

Some of his own Brooklyn Dodger teammates said they wouldn’t play with Robinson on the team. That is until manager Leo Durocher told them Robinson would help them get to the World Series and make them a lot of money and if they didn’t want to make a lot of money he would trade them. They played. The St. Louis Cardinals threatened to strike if Robinson came to St. Louis to play but Commissioner Happy Chandler told them any striking player would be suspended. They played.

None of this was new to Robinson.

While serving in the US Army and a decade before Rosa Parks refused to move to the back of the bus in Montgomery, Alabama, 2nd Lt. Jackie Robinson, an officer and a gentleman, boarded an Army bus and refused to move to the back as ordered by the bus driver. This incident resulted in Robinson being court-martialed for insubordination. An all-white panel of military officers later acquitted him.

Robinson was considered by many to be opinionated, stubborn and combative. I doubt that Robinson himself would have disagreed with that characterization. He said, “I had to fight against loneliness, abuse and the knowledge that any mistake I made would be magnified because I was the only black man out there. Many people resented my impatience and honesty, but I never cared about acceptance as much as I cared about respect.”

Jackie Robinson died from complications of diabetes and heart failure on October 24, 1972; he was only 53 years old. Jackie Robinson didn’t just make baseball better, he made America better.

To call it a fee is nothing but a sham.

As I have stated before all of you, it just will not work. There are environmental considerations that have not been taken into account.

Potentially, the two main river/ tributaries-are going to be turned into dead rivers!

Deepening and channeling the rivers

will lead to nothing but silt –build up — thus lacking of proper environment for the trout that live there. The areas concerned will become dead zones or indeed the Los Angeles River.

I urge you to summarily defeat this project immediately.

Important Information From The Elizabeth Guild To The Editor, Always with an “attitude of gratitude, we are thankful for those who shop and donate at The Elizabeth Guild and our upscale shop, Lizzie’s. In our effort to be frugal and to bring the most dollars to Estes Park Health, we must stress that by using us as your dump site you are hampering our efforts.

We do not like spending money and volunteer time to get rid of your trash.

Outside our stores is a brand-new sign stating what items we simply cannot take because we simply cannot sell them – whether because of space, sanitation or legal liabilities. If your item is listed on the sign, do not leave it.

If you have any questions about what we can or cannot take, call and ask. Our

number is 970-586-7205, and our manager, David, is always available to help you and may even suggest where your items will be most appreciated, if we are unable to accept them.

Estes Park does have a transfer station for items you cannot sell, donate or give away. Waste Management is located at 680 Elm Road. You can call them at 970586-5740.

This problem has prompted us to install security cameras, and anyone dumping mattresses, televisions, trash, etc., will be prosecuted.

Thank you, Susan Henshaw President, Board of Directors, The Elizabeth Guild

Agrees With Connie Phipp’s LTE To The Editor: Connie Phipps’ letter of April 5th is right on. I would like to add a few thoughts for our town leaders.

Heavy storms happen and residents, property owners and town leaders must be prepared to deal with same.

Town leaders have a responsibility, to all citizens, to have plans and money ready to deal with all of the natural storms.

Town budgeted monies are what they

should use to cover cost of these storms.

Citizens and businesses provide tax income which is in the town budget already….a fixed budget is what should be used to cover costs of storm fix. Not putting the burden on the tax payer with the proposed “tax.”

Improper or unneeded projects should not draw down money that is there for storm expenses.

Thank you, Art Blume

Anita J Davis, beloved wife and mother, dedicated teacher, devoted caregiver, caring friend, creator of arts and crafts, sweet and kind soul.

Born in Minnesota August 27, 1929. Died in Estes Park, Colorado, April 7, 2019. She is preceded in death by mother Alta and father Walter Wooldridge, sister Joyce, husband Robert and son Russell, who died from childhood leukemia.

She is survived by daughters Laura Davis (Thomas Beck) of Estes Park, Colorado and Susan (Tom) Hess of Grand Junction, Colorado A memorial service will be held at Applewood Valley United Methodist Church in Golden, CO on May 19 at 1:00 p.m. Memorial contributions to Applewood Valley United Methodist Church or to Leukemia & Lymphoma Foundation. Full obit at www.allnuttestespark.com.

Anita Jean Davis was raised in Rochester and Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her father was a farmer, and her mother was an accomplished wife, cook and mother. After a severe accident in which he nearly lost his leg, the family moved to Minneapolis, where her mother ran a boarding house and father worked as a security guard at a canning plant. In those times, young Anita covered security duty for her father when he was ill; the local policemen kept an eye out for her to ensure her safety. Anita met her future husband Bob in church youth group. The group’s outdoor activities included hiking and canoeing.

A love for outdoor adventure carried on throughout their lives, as did their active participation in the church.

Anita completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Education. She and Bob graduated from college at the same time in 1951

and married a week later.

Their life adventures took them to Michigan, Idaho and Pennsylvania before settling in Colorado in 1969.

Like every task she pursued, Anita took the job of raising her three children very seriously, showering them with love, kindness and gentle yet firm discipline. She concurrently taught full-time, pursued a Master’s degree in Special Education and raised and managed her family, all with dedication and grace. She was a devoted teacher of special education and K-6 in the Jefferson County School District for nearly 20 years.

Anita was an equal partner with Bob in the Davis family travel adventures, organizing the supplies for camping – first by tent, and subsequently tent trailer, VW camper and small RV. Her lifelong pursuit of organization might explain her daughters’ love of checklists.

Anita was very active in the Methodist Church, especially women’s groups.

Anita will be remembered for her sweet and gentle demeanor. Her kindness was remarkable: putting the interests of others before her own, providing dedicated and loving caregiving for her husband of 66 years, and acting upon her concern for others.

Many thanks to the caring staff at Good Samaritan Society- Estes Park Village for their thoughtful and compassionate care of Anita during the past year. They welcomed Anita into their family with open arms and generous hearts. Good Samaritan’s staff made her last year with us the best it could be. Many thanks as well to Estes Park Home Health and Hospice, whose compassionate care is much appreciated.

Francis “Frank” Costello Francis “Frank” Charles Costello, a longtime biology professor at City University of New York who touched many lives, died April 5 at his farm in Berthoud, Colo. He was 90.

Born in Newark, N.J., on February 21, 1929, to Francesco “Frank” Costello and Anunciata “Nancy” Anfuso Costello- both of whom emigrated from Sicily-he grew up in Travis, Staten Island, N.Y. He served two stints in the Marine Corps from 1946-47 and 1950-52.

Frank earned Bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Fordham University. He served on the faculty of City University of New York, Bronx Community College, for 35 years, including 27 years as chairman of the biology department. He also taught at New York University, The College of New Rochelle and Pace University.

He married Joan E. Boyle on October 8, 1955, and they lived most of their lives in Hillsdale, N.J., before retiring to Estes Park, Colo., in 1998. He was a founder in 1963 of one of New Jersey’s first environmental commissions in Hillsdale, aimed at raising awareness of ecology and the conservation of our natural world. Hillsdale still holds an annual Maple Syrup Festival that he initiated during his tenure. He shared his love of nature with his wife and four children while traveling across the country, visiting all 50 states and numerous national parks. He gave his time to various organizations throughout his life — on the board of the Estes Park Medical Center, serving on the Travis Volunteer Fire Department, and

volunteering at Longmont United Hospital and for the U.S. Forest Service, to name only a few. As a professor, he instilled a love of biology in several generations of students. Frank was known for his passionate lectures infused with a theatrical enthusiasm for the sciences and an ever-present sense of humor. He understood the transformational power of education, especially in the economically challenged neighborhoods of The Bronx. He was preceded in death by his wife of 59 years, Joan.

Surviving are a son, Timothy Costello (Kathryn) of Irvine, Calif.; daughter Monica Costello (John Mossman) of Berthoud; son Francis X. Costello (Bonnie) of Westwood, N.J.; and daughter Mariclare Suomi of Beverly Hills, Calif., along with nine beloved grandchildren. A viewing is scheduled for Friday, April 12, from 4 to 7 p.m. at Howe Mortuary in Longmont, Colo., followed by a funeral Mass on Saturday, April 13, at 10 a.m. at St. Francis of Assisi Church in Longmont. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to Grace’s Basket, a nonprofit founded by Frank’s daughter Mariclare (named for her young daughter who is now eight years cancer free) that is committed to helping families whose children are receiving treatment at Mattel Children's Hospital, UCLA Pediatric Hematology/ Oncology Department. gracesbasketfoundation.org/.

Janet Helen Banks, known to her family and friends as Jan, was born February 23, 1933 in Gunnison, Colorado, the daughter of Robert and Julia (Enyeart) Oversteg. She lived in a homestead cabin on a cattle ranch until 1939. She attended school in Durango through her first semester of her junior year. At that time, she moved to Estes Park and graduated from Estes Park High School with the class of 1951. After high school she attended the Denver University school of nursing and graduated with the Children’s Hospital class of 1954. Upon her graduation she moved to Fort Collins. Jan worked as a registered nurse in doctors offices in Estes Park, at the CSU Health services department, and at the Larimer County Hospital. Jan was forced to retire from nursing in 1966 due to the advancement of multiple sclerosis. Jan lived in Fort Collins until 2015 when she moved to Good Samaritan Nursing facility in Loveland, Colorado where she

lived until her passing.

She was active member in the Fort Collins Community. Jan was a member of the Fort Collins Multiple Sclerosis Association Chapter 1962, involved with Care-a-Van transportation services, served on the local allocations committee of disabled resource office volunteers, and volunteered with the Fort Collins Convention and Visitors Bureau, Larimer County Genealogy Association and St. Luke’s Thrift Shop.

She was an active Republican and member of the Children’s Hospital Alumni Association and St. Luke’s Episcopal Church.

She is survived by her children: Jon A. Banks and wife Kate, their children: Alexandra and Cameron; Kurt R. Banks and his ex-wife Cindy, their children: Jacob, Daniel and Andrew; Dirk D. Banks and wife Heather; nieces, Mona Totman, Karen Deline and Linda Oversteg; nephew, Eric Oversteg.

Robert “Bob” Volker Robert “Bob” Volker, a long-time resident of Estes Park, passed away at the age of 90 on Friday, March 22, 2019.

He was twice a husband, father to three kids, a life-long teacher, quick with a joke, and an uncommonly good and kind man. He enjoyed travelling to the West Coast but always loved returning to his home in Estes Park.

Bob’s life-long hobbies were aviation and architecture, and he was a skilled craftsman as well. His passion for over forty years was researching 1930s-era military aircraft, particularly the Boeing P-12 and P-26 fighters. He shared his collection of original negatives and rare photographs with other enthusiasts, contributing to numerous others’ collections and publications.

Robert was born in Mount Clemens, Michigan on February 6, 1929 and was the first of three children born to Charlotte Allison and Harold Volker. In 1942 the family moved to Auburn, Washington where he graduated from Auburn High School in 1946. During WWII he worked at the Boeing Renton factory helping build B-29 Superfortresses. After high school he returned to Mount Clemens where he met Eleanor Smith. They were married in 1952 while both were earning teaching degrees from Eastern Michigan University. After graduating in 1953, Eleanor began her first career as a special education teacher and Bob began teaching high school biology in Trenton, Michigan. In August of that year he was drafted by the U. S. Army and served as a Technician Corporeal until June 1955, stationed at Camp Sendai, Japan with Company D, Fourth Signal Battalion.

He returned from the Army and resumed teaching high school science classes for the Trenton School system.

Bob was an exceptional teacher and conveyed his enthusiasm and love for learning to students for the next thirty

years. His main subjects were biology and physiology, but his goal was to teach critical thinking and prepare students for careers in all branches of science.

He had high expectations of his students and worked hard to see them succeed. He had a talent for explaining complex subjects in a calm and clear manner, and often relied on his dry sense of humor to keep things fun and interesting. In 1960 they moved across the river to Grosse Ile, MI where they raised three children. In 1975 Eleanor began her second career in real-estate and became a well-liked and successful realtor. Between 1974 and 1975 both Bob and Eleanor had bouts with cancer. Bob’s cancer did not return, but Eleanor fought cancer for the next decade and passed away in 1985 at the age of 55.

After Bob’s retirement as Science Department Head for the Trenton High School, he and son Steven moved to Estes Park in 1985. In the years that followed he met Patricia Hanson and they were married in 1990. He adored Patty and enjoyed helping with her many hobbies. They shared a common love for travel and enjoyed countless adventures over the next three decades.

Bob is survived by his wife Patricia N. ; son Michael R. and granddaughter Sophia; son Steven F.; daughter Julie A. Miotke and her husband Kris of Dublin, OH; sisters Elaine Penney and Verna “Mickey” Phillips; stepson Joel Hanson and his wife Tammy of Aiken, SC; and stepgrandson Kyle Hanson. Bob was preceded in death by his wife Eleanor Smith Volker and his stepdaughter Donay Hanson. A celebration of life will be held at the Good Samaritan Society-Estes Park Village on Saturday, April 13, 2019 at 3:00 p.m. Please visit www.allnuttestespark.com to leave a message for the family.

Holy Week At Shepherd Of The Mountains Lutheran Church Holy Week, second only to Christmas, is a highpoint of the church year at Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran Church (SMLC), at 2000 Ptarmigan Trail. The members and Pastor Ron Bockhaus have been anticipating their observance of the passion, death and resurrection of Christ all through the six-week season of Lent. Now it is time to share their joyful enthusiasm with the public: Christ is born; Christ has died; Christ has risen; He is risen, indeed. Allelujah!

Christ began his final journey to the cross as he rode a humble donkey through a multitude of His followers, even children, who waved their palm branches over Him and sang “Hosanna” on the road to Jerusalem.

Everyone who attends the SMLC’s Palm Sunday service at 9:00 a.m. on April 14th will not only have his or her own palm branch to wave, but will also hear SMLC’s own child songstress, Amy Schwartz, delivering her enthusiastic “Sing, Hosanna” with choir accompaniment.

The Maundy Thursday service at SMLC, beginning at 7:00 p.m. on April 18th, re-enacts the Last Supper, which Christ shared with his disciples two centuries ago. He still celebrates that supper with his followers today. On that longago night, he also showed them one example of humble service to others by washing off the disciples’ feet of the dust from their pedestrian travels. Some of His followers at SMLC will remember His admonition to be servants as they wash each other’s feet; others will ask for His healing power as they receive the pastor’s prayer and healing balm in a special ceremony.

The public is also invited to SMLC’s Good Friday service on April 19th at 7:00 p.m., a service to closely observe and remind themselves of Christ’s suffering and death on the cross, the painful sacrifice He was willing to give for all of humanity, “…For all have sinned and fallen short.”

SMLC has also joined with the rest of the Ministerial Alliance in offering two of the most important services in celebration of Holy Week: A community Good Friday Service on April 19th at 12:00 noon at the United Methodist Church on Fish Hatchery Road and an Easter Sunrise Service at 7:00 a.m. at the Lake Estes Marina. Together, Pastor Ron Bockhaus and Pastor Tom Towns will lead the reading of the scriptures, the prayers, and the singing of the traditional hymns at these services. In past years, many birds at the marina have been known to sing along.

All of this leads up to the culminating event of this Holy season: the celebratory Easter Worship Service at SMLC on Sunday morning, April 14th at 9:00 a.m.

Amid the garden of lilies and other spring flowers on the altar, Dave Scott will accompany the choir in a call to worship entitled This Is the Day. This certainly is the day to celebrate the miracle of Christ’s resurrection from the dead, giving all believers eternal life. Just one trumpet, just one scripture reading, just one choir, just one organist, just one pastor’s message, or just one congregation singing with all its heart cannot begin to express the joy if this Easter Day. Christians all over the world will be celebrating it together. “The tomb is empty; Christ is alive!”
