Safety Checkpoint On West Side Of Rocky Mountain National Park Over Labor Day Weekend To help ensure a safe and enjoyable stay for park visitors, Rocky Mountain National Park rangers will be increasing Law Enforcement Patrols and conducting a Safety Checkpoint on Friday, August 30. Rangers will be looking for traffic violations, safety violations, and impaired drivers. Park staff members are committed to safety and safe driving in the park. With more than 100 miles of roads, Rocky’s unique driving conditions can be extremely challenging due to high traffic

volume, rapidly-changing weather conditions, and wildlife on roadways. Visitors are reminded that federal law requires the occupants of vehicles to wear seatbelts when driving on all park roads. The checkpoints are being conducted in cooperation with local law enforcement agencies. For more information about Rocky Mountain National Park please visit www.nps.gov/romo or call the park’s Information Office at (970) 586-1206.

Citizens Submit Initiated Ordinance To Allow Marijuana Facilities Petition protest period through Sept. 9; Town Board tentatively to consider petition Sept. 10 Citizens have submitted petitions for an initiated ordinance to permit the operation of a limited number of marijuana facilities within Town limits. The Town Clerk issued a notice of petition sufficiency to the petitioners Aug. 28. In accordance with C.R.S title 31, a voter protest may be filed through Sept. 9 with the Town Clerk for failure of any portion of a petition or circulator affidavit to meet the requirements of the title. The content of the ordinance is not grounds for protest. The petitions and notice of sufficiency are available for review at www.estes.org/petitions. For more information, please contact the Clerk’s office at 970-577-4777. If no protests are received by the Town Clerk, the Town Board would consider

the petition at its Sept. 10 meeting. The board’s options would be to adopt the ordinance as submitted, or refer the ordinance to the voters at a special municipal election, requiring a majority vote of registered electors to approve the ordinance. If approved, the initiated ordinance would allow the operation of retail marijuana cultivation facilities, retail marijuana stores, medical optional premises and medical marijuana centers allowed in the Commercial Outlying and Commercial Heavy zoning districts with a 1000-foot setback from schools. The Town would establish administrative rules outlining the application and licensing process. If approved, a separate election would be held to impose sales and excise taxes on revenues from marijuana facilities.

Funding Available for Projects Addressing Forest Health, Wildfire Risk Wildfires are both natural and inevitable – including in wildland-urban interface settings where millions of Coloradans live. These fires can be particularly destructive in areas where forests are unhealthy, unmanaged and unnaturally dense. For those interested in taking action, but who have lacked the means, funding is now available to help address this risk. The Colorado State Forest Service announced today that it is accepting proposals from Colorado HOAs, community groups, local governments, utilities and nonprofit organizations seeking funding to restore forested areas, improve forest health, and reduce wildfire risk on non-federal land in the state. Approximately $1 million in total funding is available. The Forest Restoration and Wildfire Risk Mitigation Grant Program helps fund projects that strategically reduce the potential wildfire risk to property, infrastructure and water supplies and that promote forest health through scientifically based forestry practices. The competitive grant program is designed to reduce risk to people and property in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) and support long-term ecological restoration. Applications must not only promote forest health and address the reduction of hazardous fuels that could fuel a wildfire – such as trees and brush near homes – but also utilize wood products derived from forest management efforts. The state can fund up to half the cost of each awarded project; grant recipients are required to match at least 50 percent of the total project cost through cash or in-kind contributions. Projects can be located on private, state, county or mu-

nicipal forestlands. Program funds also are allowable to fund the purchase of equipment that directly supports and expands on-the-ground opportunities to reduce hazardous fuels. Applicants must coordinate proposed projects with relevant county officials to ensure consistency with county-level wildfire risk reduction planning. Follow-up monitoring also is a necessary component of this grant program, to help demonstrate the relative efficacy of various treatments and the utility of grant resources. The CSFS will work with successful project applicants to conduct project monitoring and conduct site visits to assess effectiveness and completion of projects. Additional emphasis will be given to projects that: are identified through a community-based collaborative process, such as a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP); are implemented strategically across land ownership boundaries; are conducted within a priority area identified in the Colorado State Forest Action Plan; utilize the labor of an accredited Colorado Youth or Veterans Corps organization; and include forest treatments that result in the protection of water supplies. Applications must be submitted electronically to local CSFS Field Offices by 5 p.m. MST on Oct. 23, 2019. A technical advisory panel convened by the CSFS will review project applications and make funding recommendations. The CSFS will then notify successful applicants next spring. Applications and additional information about the Forest Restoration and Wildfire Risk Mitigation Grant Program are available at CSFS Field Offices and online at csfs.colostate.edu/ funding-assistance.

First Human West Nile Virus Cases In Larimer County This week the Larimer County Department of Health and Environment (LCDHE) confirmed the first cases of West Nile virus in Larimer County residents in 2019. The cases resided in Wellington and Fort Collins, and neither were hospitalized. Human case reports usually peak in August and September. West Nile virus risk is increasing across the county, particularly in the southeast part of Fort Collins. It is a good time to remind people to protect themselves from West Nile virus by taking steps to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. That can easily be done by using an effective repellent or staying indoors when mosquitoes are biting. Trapping mosquitoes to monitor for West Nile virus risk began in June in Larimer County. West Nile virus is a viral infection which is spread to people by bites from infected Culex mosquitoes. Symptoms can range from none at all to severe illness. About 75% of people who are infected do not show symptoms; about 25% will develop West Nile fever. Less than 1% develop the more severe neuroinvasive form, which can lead to hospitalization, critical illness, chronic disability, or even death.

LCDHE works with local cities, a mosquito abatement company (Vector Disease Control International), and Colorado State University experts to monitor and assess the risk to Larimer County residents throughout the summer. West Nile virus can be prevented. In addition to community efforts, such as larviciding, reducing water where mosquitoes can breed, and spraying for adult mosquitoes, individuals can use the 4 D’s to help prevent West Nile virus: • Defend – Use an EPA-registered mosquito repellent that has been proven to be effective against West Nile virus-carrying mosquitoes. DEET, Picaridin, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus and IR3535 are good choices. • Dusk to Dawn - Avoid exposure during peak Culex mosquito feeding times, from dusk through dawn. • Dress - Wear long sleeves and pants to keep mosquitoes from biting. • Drain – Remove standing water in your yard or garden to minimize mosquito breeding areas. For more tips on what you can do to prevent West Nile virus, visit Larimer.org/westnile

The charge(s) are merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. On August 19 at 10:57 p.m. police stopped a 49 year old male driver from Avondale, AZ in the 400 block of E. Wonderview for driving without headlights. Upon further investigation, the driver was found to be driving under the influence of alcohol and he was issued a summons for DUI, DUI per se and driving without headlamps and was later released. On August 22 at 11:30 a.m. police arrested a 26 year old female from Estes Park who was found to be wanted on multiple warrants. The warrants were: from Larimer County-failure to appear on a theft charge, failure to comply on criminal impersonation charges and DUI charges. From Estes Park PD-failure to comply on a protection order violation, from Boulder County-failure to appear on warrants for

possession of a controlled substance/drug paraphernalia and theft. After the arrest, the female was transported to Larimer County Jail. On August 23 at 11:09 p.m. police cited two males from Estes Park, ages 19 and 21, for open alcohol containers in public in the 1000 block of Weist Drive. They were each issued a summons and released. On August 24 at 10:12 p.m. police were called to a noise complaint in the 100 block of Moraine Ave. The business at this address was issued a citation for unreasonable noise. On August 24 at 11:19 p.m. police stopped a driver in the 1300 block of N. St. Vrain. Upon investigation, the 28 year old Estes Park male was found to be wanted on warrants out of Arapahoe County for failure to appear for driving without a license, having ficticious plates and no proof of insurance. He was later released on a PR bond.

This Week In Mrs. Walsh's Garden Western chokecherry, Prunus virginiana var. demissa, is a medium-sized, deciduous shrub or small tree with simple, ovate to elliptical leaves with finely-toothed margins. Clusters of fragrant, white to cream colored flowers are produced in May/June along drooping, densely packed, 2-5 inch flowering stalks. It typically grows in thickets in wooded and shrubby native habitats where adequate moisture is present in the soil. In August/September small 'cherries' appear initially being green but ripening to red, dark-red and almost black. Although the fruits have a very bitter taste and should not be eaten raw, they can be properly cooked

to make jelly and syrup, or left for hungry birds. Mrs. Walsh's Garden is located on West Elkhorn Avenue, across the street

from Performance Park. Admission is free and it is open from dawn to dusk.

HyperWHATia? Hyperphagia! Your Actions Can Save The Life Of A Bear

Photo by Dawn Wilson dawnwilsonphotography.com

Each fall, bears eat, eat, eat as they get ready to sleep, sleep, sleep. This period of massive caloric intake is called hyperphagia. Bears can consume up to 20,000 calories a day! Their quest for calories has begun and we would like to remind you about some important facts: 1. Black bears have big appetites. They are mostly vegetarian but they aren’t picky - anything slightly edible will do. They consider our trash, their food. 2. Black bears are nosey. They are curious and follow their noses to food. Bears can smell food five miles away! 3. Black bears are busybodies. They can be active anytime, anywhere, day or night. 4. Black bears are smart. They learn quickly to identify food, packaging and containers. Once bears find an easy meal they’ll be back for more. 5. Black bears are naturally shy. They usually avoid people, but once conditioned to human food, they may become aggressive. 6. People’s actions can alter bear behavior. Bears that eat human food (and trash) are drawn close to homes and businesses and may become problem animals. Estes Park has increasing numbers of bear activities and incidents. This summer Estes Park Police have noted increased bear incidents, primarily due to trash management. Multiple bears frequent the town after dark, particularly the commer-

cial area downtown. These close calls present a safety hazard for our residents and guests. The increase in incidents is likely the result of our past actions. We can do better! Estes Valley CAN be a great place for people, bears and other watchable wildlife. We want a healthy bear population so that we all can continue to have memorable wildlife experiences, and we want bears in their natural environment where they can be seen...from a safe distance. Bears are intelligent, resourceful and amazing animals. As the calendar is rolling through the end of summer with fall in sight, bears will be entering the stage of hyperphagia when they need to eat up to 20,000 calories a day to get ready for hibernation. People need to be especially cautious with their garbage and food attractants. Giving bears easy access to food allows them to become comfortable in an area. If they find food they can become aggressive and will act to defend it. A bear protecting its food source can be very dangerous. Get in the habit of being bear-responsible. It’s like recycling — at first it’s a little extra effort, but soon it becomes a better way to live. And you can be proud you’re helping to make Colorado a better place for people and bears.

We used to stand in line at the post office and look at the faces on the Most Wanted postings and wonder how often those villains got caught. (Answer: almost 95 percent of the fugitives appearing on the FBI’s Top Ten list are captured.) It wasn’t that long ago that Osama Bin Laden was on that list, and Ted Bundy, following other notorious pre-FBI bad guys of yore like Jesse James, Billy the Kid, John Dillinger and Bonnie and Clyde. Today we don’t see the baddest of the bad posters tacked up on the post office bulletin board. The list is still maintained and you can ask to see it at the post office counter but they may or may not have a copy. (The post office took down their clocks too. My hunch is the USPS realized they were doing more harm than good when customers were made aware—via bright red lights on a black background—how long they’d been standing in line.) A more reliable option is to look up the Most Wanted on the FBI website. Instead, the post office walls are papered with posters marketing a wide variety of faces, from Broadway stars and Olympic athletes to Hollywood composers, American Indian dancers, astronauts, former U. S. presidents, the yellow smiley face, and Tweety Bird. These significant, historic figures are the faces that appear on U. S. Postal Service postage stamps. They’re the current United States Postal Service’s most wanted… merchandise. In 2018 a new stamp was issued called World War I: Turning the Tide, a Forever stamp paying tribute to the soldiers of World War I. The stamp depicts an American infantryman (informally called a doughboy) holding the U. S. flag, presumably with 48 stars. (The last two states to join the union were New Mexico and Arizona in 1912, until 1959 when Alaska and Hawaii rounded us out at 50.) There is barbed wire in the background, airplanes in flight and the smoke of war rising from the battlefield behind him. To the average admirer of postage stamps, the soldier may appear to be an anonymous serviceman. But to me, the man in uniform looks very much like a young man I hired to be a hikemaster at the YMCA of the Rockies last summer.

Behold and lo, the GI depicted on the Turning the Tide stamp was modeled by one Estes-Parkson-for-a-summer Winston Ernst, hikemaster extraordinaire and the most amicable, gentle, kind soul I know. How did peaceful Winston end up on a stamp depicting a war where some 8.5 million soldiers and additional millions of civilians were killed? He didn’t know what he was modeling for. The stamp’s art director, Greg Breeding and the artist, Mark Stutzman had been selected by the USPS to design a postage stamp to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of what was called “the Great War.” But the stamp’s concept had to remain a secret. When a friend of Winston’s was asked to model (for what, he didn’t know), he declined the invitation because he didn’t want to shave off his beard. He suggested they contact clean-shaven Winston. Winston thought that no matter what he would be modeling for, it sounded interesting, so he agreed to pose for Stutzman. Now Winston is on a Forever stamp, his image traveling on envelopes and packages across the globe. Winston Ernst is Forever. For the Turning the Tide stamp, artist Stutzman painted with airbrush on illustration board to evoke the propaganda posters used during World War I (see the “We are saving you” example here). The outcome is effective. Although the U.S. didn’t see action until the last year of the war, hundreds of posters were created to communicate patriotic themes, to boost enlistment, to support those serving overseas, and to emphasize the importance of buying bonds to support the war effort. The Turning the Tide stamp looks just like one of those posters. Next time you’re at the post office look for the Turning the Tide poster on the wall and ask for the stamps. That way we will guarantee my friend Winston stays on the Most Wanted list at the post office.

Exhibition And Sale Of Works By Lyman Byxbe At CABINtique Carey Stevanus & Dave Tanton will present a joint exhibition and sale of the works of Lyman Byxbe at CABINtique – 521A S. St. Vrain Ave., August 30th, 2019 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. 75 etchings, aquatints and color images will be for sale, and a number of Byxbe’s more rare works including items from Byxbe’s one man show at the Smithsonian in 1937 will be displayed as well. Byxbe first came to Estes Park as a summer visitor (as have so many), and by 1930 had a booming business, which included etchings of resident's cabins for Christmas cards. By the mid-thirties he was garnering national attention. He was elected to the Chicago Society of Etchers. He had a one man show of sixty-some items at the Smithsonian in 1937-38, and his reputation was made. Byxbe, moved to Estes Park for good shortly thereafter. He had a shop on Elkhorn Avenue in downtown Estes Park for many years. The majority of his available work is small etchings he produced for the tourist trade, which he sold for very little saying "I have set my prices according to their pocket-books." These are quite valuable today, especially the larger examples. He did oil paintings and watercolors as well, but these are much more difficult to find. Byxbe worked primarily in aquatint, drypoint and etching (and various combinations of these techniques). He also executed works in mezzotint, conté crayon, oil, pencil, and watercolor, though these are relatively rare. His studio also produced hand-colored photographs. Subject matter was primarily scenes in and around the Estes Park area, although his earlier works include a few portraits, and subjects from Omaha and other locations in the Midwest (these are quite rare, but worth the hunt). David Tanton-David was born in Fort Collins and grew up in Estes Park. He knew Byxbe, and stopped in his gallery many times over the years. After high school David left Estes Park and forged a 30 year career in Southern California. He began to collect Byxbe prints, and soon had a large

collection of important works, many of which are seen in the catalog David spoke often with the original author of the Byxbe catalog, Bob Crump to add new prints to the catalog and increase the appreciation of Byxbe’s work. After Crump’s death he worked with the Crump family to secure his archives for the Estes Park Museum, and subsequently edited the second, and now the third edition of the Byxbe catalog. Carey Stevanus-Carey Stevanus has lived in Estes Park for 26 years and quickly became interested in the history of the town and it’s pioneers. After first discovering Fred Clatworthy’s photographs she began collecting the works of many local photographers and artists including Byxbe. She opened her store, CABINtique in March of this year and has sold many pieces from her own collection. She has discovered how many people are collectors of Byxbe’s work and asked Dave if he would be interested in holding an event at the store featuring some of his Byxbe collection for sale. Carey hopes to feature the works of other local artists in the future. For more information, you may call CABINtique at 970-586-5750.

Within every tableware piece that has been shared or handed down through the family, there is a story. Celebrating those stories, as well the creative ways to display these items—whether vintage or contemporary, formal or informal—is the inspiration behind a special event being hosted by the Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation. Table Settings 101 will take place on Sunday, September 15 at 2:00 p.m. at the Estes Park Museum. This special one-hour program, which is free and open to the public, will feature a variety of displays of creative table settings, with ideas on how best to utilize and arrange the tableware that many of us save for special occasions. The program is a prelude to the fourth annual Colorado TableSettings competition, to be held November 15-17 at the Stanley Hotel. That weekend, participants will be provided space to arrange their own unique table settings around the theme, “Books and Movies, Then and Now”. Participants may choose from several entry categories. Those not designing a setting are nonetheless encouraged to attend on November 16 or 17 to browse the panorama of unique settings. Table Settings 101 at the Museum on September 15 will offer anyone considering an entry their opportunity to gain a sense of the style and set-up that might lead to a

winning arrangement. Snacks and refreshments will be served, and Museum Friends board members will discuss the specific details of the competition and the registration process. Individuals, families, businesses, and children alike are all invited to consider entering, and the event will feature photographs from previous year’s winning entries. November’s Creative Colorado Table Settings event is a fundraiser for the Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation. Full information and entry forms will available on September 15, as well as online later this season at estesparkmuseumfriends.org. No registration is required to attend the free September 15 program at the Estes Park Museum. Business sponsorships are being sought for this year’s fundraiser. Anyone wishing to learn more about sponsorship is encouraged to contact Tara Moenning at tara@aspenbrookinvestments.com. The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc., is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting the Museum through fundraising, publications, volunteerism, outreach, and special projects and events.

New Epic System For Estes Park Health Starts November 9, 2019 Patients will notice a change in how their bill looks Estes Park Health will soon be delivering on another strategic initiative. In order to remain strong, independent, and community-owned, the Estes Park Health Senior Leadership Team recognized the need to move the financial, human resources, and frontline and ancillary clinical departments to one platform. The platform that was chosen is the Epic system (epic.com). What is Estes Park Health trying to achieve with the Epic conversion? Excellent patient care and superior patient safety are our primary goals. This is all about providing the best and safest care to our patients, our community, and our visitors. Internally, Epic will provide a unified database (more than 250 million patients have a current electronic health record in Epic) so that providers can see the full continuum of care for every patient, and use that information to provide the safest, highest-quality care to result in the best patient outcomes. This is a great improvement over our current multisystem environment, where not all patient data resides in a single database.

Externally, we will have access to the national Epic continuum of care that shares over 2.3 million patient health records per day. This is where state, regional, and national “interoperability” comes into play – Estes Park Health will have secure access to a much broader collection to patient information through this huge connected network. In summary, we will have a more complete picture of every patient for whom we provide care. We can provide the best and safest care when we have access to the full picture of medication history, allergies, prior treatments, diagnoses, procedures, and more. Since most of our patients who transfer out of EPH move to Epic facilities, the Epic connection further serves the quality of care for that patient almost anywhere that patient might go. Your bill will look different Currently, the billing system Estes Park Health uses sends out a separate bill for every service (encounter) a patient receives at Estes Park Health. This is called “encounter billing”. Hospital charges and physician charges are separate bills and could arrive at different times. With the new billing system pro-

vided by Epic, patients will receive one bill for services (encounters), and this is called “guarantor billing.” Another new element in the billing process is that patients will receive a statement letter after receiving services at Estes Park Health. The statement will list the charges a patient owes to Estes Park Health, but NOT the charges being processed by the patient’s designated insurance. Patients will still receive separate bills from providers that are contracted by Estes Park Health, but NOT employed by Estes Park Health. For example: Contracted hospitalists who provide inpatient services, or radiologists who read diagnostic images read at a different facility. Educational sessions are being offered to help you understand the new billing system Estes Park Health wants every patient to have an exceptional experience from the moment you enter the door until your final bill arrives. So, we are offering some educational opportunities to the community to learn more about the new billing process and ask questions about billing. The classes will be held at the Estes Valley Library, 333 E. Elkhorn Ave, Estes

Park: • September 12 from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. • September 25 from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. • October 10 from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. • October 23 from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. The Estes Park Health Director of Patient Financial Services (Laurie Johnson) will cover the new billing process and answer some frequently asked question like: Why does it take so long to get my bills sometimes? Can I still pay for encounters separately if I would like? I cannot pay my bill, what should I do? I have a payment plan for previous encounters, can I add new encounters to that? Will I be able to combine my old separate bills with new ones after November? Can I add bills after November 9th to my existing bank loan? Estes Park Health has patient financial professionals on staff daily to answer your billing questions. You can reach Patient Financial Customer Service at 970577-4530 and Patient Financial Counselors at 970-577-4327 (last name A-L) and 970-577-4528 (last name M-Z).

EstesVolunteers.org: Connecting Our Community

Local volunteerism is the power behind long-lasting growth and strength in our community. Nonprofits and volunteers have voiced a desire for a unified location to post (and respond to) volunteer opportunities. In response to this need, the Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Cen-

ter introduces a new, dynamic online platform for volunteer opportunities and nonprofit events in our community, EstesVolunteers.org. This platform will be the driving force for volunteer engagement, voluntourism, and impacting change in our community. Nonprofits

and other agencies in Estes have begun posting their volunteer opportunities and special events online in hopes of increasing the variety of ways for locals to get involved. EstesVolunteers.org is powered by the Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center and paid for by a grant from Village Thrift Store. EstesVolunteers.org allows nonprofits to list events, ranging from educational opportunities to fundraisers and community gatherings. Volunteer opportunities currently listed online include Habitat for Humanity’s call for help building affordable homes, the Estes Park Education Foundation’s Pumpkins and Pilsners

event, and the Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary’s Autumn Gold event. Events currently listed on the online calendar include: Creating Spacious Dialogue, a Conflict Resolution Month presentation, The Restorative Justice’s annual fundraising dinner, and National Philanthropy Day. Users can go to EstesVolunteers.org to respond to these needs and opportunities. EstesVolunteers.org will launch at an Open House on September 10 at the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, 8 a.m.-noon. EPNRC staff will be on hand to help community members register (it is so easy…). Nonprofits are encouraged to register their events and opportunities ahead of this Open House at EstesVolunteers.org.

Fall Dog Training Course Fall is here and all training seems to have gone out of the window as quickly as summer did! Is your four-legged friend paying more attention to elk duds than you? Are you wondering when she got so big? Did he always jump on every stranger and why won’t he listen when you beg him to stop? When did she start chewing on the remote control?

Salud Family Health Centers September Is Pain Awareness Month

What is the most common cause of disability in the United States today? The answer is pain, but if you didn't know, you have plenty of company. Surveys have shown Americans have little understanding of pain and its treatment. Salud Family Health Centers is proudly participating in Pain Awareness Month to raise awareness and educate people about chronic pain. Chronic pain can be defined as pain that persists most days or every day for six months or more. Nearly 100 million Americans experience chronic pain more than those who have diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined. Chronic pain is one of the leading causes of long-term disability in the United States. Pain is a warning sign that indicates a

problem that needs attention. Good communication with your health care provider is vital to getting the help you need to live well in spite of your pain. Your health provider can help you explore pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods to manage pain. The Estes Park Salud Family Health Center is located at 1950 Redtail Hawk Drive. To schedule an appointment call 970-484-0999 or 303-MYSALUD. The website address is www.saludclinic.org At Salud Family Health Centers, we provide quality, affordable primary health care services to keep you and your family healthy. We serve all members of the community regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. Salud accepts Medicaid, Medicare, CHP+, and most private insurance plans.

This went through the mind of a dear friend of ours as he gazed at the woman standing at the door. Dr. M. Norval Young, a longtime friend and Pepperdine University President, had been invited to meet â€˜someoneâ€™ housed in a high-scale hotel. The door was opened by Mother Teresa, great â€˜doerâ€™ of good among the poor. She, like M. Norval and Helen Young, was getting a rest from their draining service to others. She invited them in and shared about her work feeding the poor in India. She concluded: â€œIâ€™m just so glad that I get to feed the poor!â€? They talked about Jesusâ€™ words: â€œInasmuch as you have done it unto them, you (she held up the five fingers on one hand to emphasize Christâ€™s next words) â€œhave done it unto me.â€? Dr. Young left that meeting thinking: â€œGoodness exudes from Mother Teresa. Her gentleness and love for people are not just good qualities to have; they radiate from the lives she touches. She simply does what she can and her goodness is multiplied by others trying to emulate her.â€? We can too! Another â€˜Heart-lighterâ€™, Helen Keller, honored on a special day by the Tennessee State Legislature, confided that, in her youth she wanted to do great thingsâ€Śbut physical handicaps made that impossible. So she decided to do small things in great ways. And many people do that in our society each week, donâ€™t they? Volunteers donate millions of dollars to meet the needs of people in hospitals, schools, hospice and nursing homes, addiction centers: needs that could not be met otherwise. Each week dedicated teachers, first-responders, and others arise to meet the needs of those requiring special help and attention. â€œInasmuch as they do it unto themâ€? (Remember the five fingers), they do it unto Him!â€? But all of us are needed, arenâ€™t we? The Youngs tell of a trip to the Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. They were thrilled to see the spirit of love and camaraderie that was felt everywhere. However, it was never felt more than when, after a thrilling program, each person was asked to open the small packet handed to them as they entered and each removed a small flashlight. Suddenly the stadium lights were turned off. After a moment of complete silence and darkness, there came a loud â€œAH!â€? and each turned on his flashlight. Suddenly the entire stadium was aglow with that which each person provided. From darkness to lightâ€”not due to one person flipping a switch on some giant stadium floodlights, but because each person turned on his / her tiny, individual light. A similar thing happens at the close of Neil Diamond concerts when the lights go out and he begins to sing: â€œTurn on your heart-lights!â€? At that point every person in the audience turns on whatever small light he / she may have: lighter, cellphone, flashlight, and soon all the darkness is dispelled and light is shining everywhere. Goodness always dispels the darkness of this world. And the process always begins by individuals like Helen Keller, Mother Teresa, and millions of others who â€˜turn on their heart lightsâ€™ by sharing time, energy, and concern by countless acts of love. Dr. Young ends his book, â€˜Living lights and Shining Starsâ€™, with these words. â€œOnly when we become shining stars ourselves will we begin to convert our self-destructive society to a self-preserving one. Only when mothers and fathers become proactive in doing good will families become good places for children to grow up. Only when we once again allow public-school teachers to teach goodness, morality, purity, and right, will children learn to be good, moral, pure and right. Only when we carefully elect good people into government positions will we see consistently good government, good laws and a good country in which to live.â€? â€œTurn on your â€˜heart light!â€™â€? (Bob Lewis)

This is the third year for Post 911 and many students from last year will be returning for another year. What do they say about Post 911? â€œItâ€™s super fun, interesting, and definitely worthwhile.â€? Some students may choose careers as first responders. For others, the experience with Post 911 will have proved valuable when applying for post-high school education and employment. How do you learn more about this unique opportunity? There will be an information session for students and parents in the High School auditorium on September 4th from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.

Rain or shine, even with work on Brodie, the Estes Park Woman’s Club Garage Sale is a go! This Saturday, August 31, you will be able to access the Presbyterian Church of the Rockies, 1700 Brodie Avenue, from Community Drive. Please obey all traffic control signs and any traffic control personnel,

Congratulations to Jennifer Johnson, the Estes Park High School Student of the Week for August 30, 2019. At EPHS, Jennifer has participated in athletics all four years of her student career, playing both volleyball and basketball. She has been on the varsity team for three years and has lettered in both sports, twice. She ended her junior year with a 4.05 GPA. This past summer, Jennifer and a fellow classmate remodeled the woodshop into a student lounge, now called the BAM (business) Student Lounge. This is the first student lounge at EPHS, and it will give the students a place to unwind and relax. Outside of school, Jennifer loves pure relaxation. She usually uses her free time to relax, hang out with her friends and catch up on “her TV show.” Jennifer’s favorite quote is “Let’s just take our chance.” She likes this quote because it reminds her that life is too short. She said, “It tells me that I need to take all opportunities that come to me.” After high school Jennifer plans to attend college to major in business or an-

2019 Ballot: Tabor And Proposition CC Dems Host Speaker In Estes Park On

The Estes Valley Democrats are hosting a discussion of Colorado’s TABOR amendment and the related Proposition CC that will be on our November 2019 Colorado ballot. This presentation with be on Sunday, September 15, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Library’s Hondius Room. This meeting is open to the public and features guest speaker, Carol Hedges, Executive Director of the Colorado Fiscal Institute, a non-profit organization focusing on public policy for Colorado’s fiscal health. Understanding TABOR, its impacts on Colorado, and the resolutions contained in Proposition CC will be important in understanding what is at stake for your vote on this ballot issue in November. TABOR was adopted in 1992 and has since resulted in severe restrictions on funding services and public investment in Colorado, including education and transportation. One example of the impact on education funding restrictions is that, as of last year, Colorado’s per pupil funding of education ranked us 39th out of all 50 states. When originally passed, the broad scope and negative impacts of TABOR were not fully understood. TABOR’s re-

quirements are so complex that today it would not even be allowed to appear on the state ballot as a single measure. It affects all taxing districts and governments in the state, no matter how small. Some of our governmental entities already have taken independent steps to eliminate or change TABOR’s revenue cap restrictions at their levels. Currently, that includes 51 out of Colorado’s 64 counties, 230 out of 274 municipalities, and 174 out of 181 school districts. Proposition CC would apply elimination of restrictive TABOR caps to Colorado state government as a whole. Some of the advocates for eliminating TABOR caps include educational groups and associations across Colorado, Colorado Contractors Association, state and municipal Chambers of Commerce, Colorado Hospital Association, Colorado Municipal League, various county commissioners, and various former Republican and Democratic elected representatives. Our guest speaker, Carol Hedges, has a long history studying the intricacies of TABOR and its impact on Colorado. Her background includes a law degree from the University of Kansas and a degree in Public Affairs from Emporia State University. She has worked for the National Governor’s Association. In 1996, she joined Governor Romer’s Administration and eventually worked as policy director. Carol later joined the Bell Policy Center where in 2003 she was primary author of an in-depth analysis of the impact of TABOR on Colorado entitled “Ten Years of Tabor.” In 2013, Carol and another associate created the Colorado Fiscal Institute to focus on making tax and budget policies support equity and widespread economic prosperity. Please join us for this interesting and timely presentation. For more information, email Vicky Henry, Democratic PCP Coordinator, at DemsVHenry@yahoo.com.

Cyber Conflict And Geopolitics At Next Great Decisions Meeting Cyber conflict is a new and continually developing threat, which can include foreign interference in elections, industrial sabotage and attacks on infrastructure. Russia has been accused of interfering in the 2016 presidential elections in the United States and China is highly committed to using cyberspace as a tool of national policy. Dealing with cyber conflict will require new ways of looking at 21st century warfare. Is the United States prepared to respond to such threats? Join us to discuss this important topic on September 3rd, right after Labor Day, at 11:30 a.m. in the Hondius Room at the Estes Valley Library. See you there!

Practice Makes Perfect

By: Judi Smith

We, in the United States of America, universally believe that each and every citizen has a right to his or her own opinion and the right to express that opinion. After attaining legal voting age, he or she also has a right to vote, both on ballot issues and for candidates who support his or her personal opinion. That is the essence of representative democracy. But with that right comes responsibility, the responsibility to study and prepare for the vote as well as the responsibility to respect the opinions of those who disagree. It takes skill to collect and evaluate information, form an independent opinion, and yet keep an open mind toward new information and re-evaluation. This is a skill we want our kids, both children and teens, to learn. The Junior Election program began in 2016, to give our students, K-12, both district and home-schooled, an opportunity to practice voting. Now a collaboration of the Estes Park School District, the League of Women Voters, Youth in Action, the Estes Valley Library, the Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center, and the EPRPD Community Center, we provide not only opportunities to vote, but also face to face experience with candidates and elected officials. Wednesday, October 2nd, ten Colorado elected officials, five executive and five legislative, have been invited to participate in forums. It is hoped that this will help define the variety of governmental jobs. Half of those invited have already accepted, subject, of course, to emergen-

cies or impending votes that require them to be elsewhere. Home-schooled students are invited to join their in-district counterparts to ask questions directly of those whose schedules allow for attendance. Teachers, parents, and other individuals may observe-but no questions or comments may be offered by adults. The middle school forum is scheduled for 12:45-1:45 p.m. The high school forum is 2-3 p.m. Both are in the HS Auditorium. Questions? Email FindlaterSmith@gmail.com The school curriculum in Estes Park often uses experiential learning to create memorable projects that students tend to retain into adulthood – as evidenced by graduates who remember, for just one example, lessons in personal genealogy – a family research project. Junior Election hopes that the voting in November, December, April, and May will generate family discussion as well. Estes Park welcomes teenagers at Town Hall meetings and other events that determine the destiny of their town. Although student votes do not count in the final analysis until the age of 18, the younger generation offers a unique perspective and insight into the future of our civilization. By the 2020 election, today’s HS seniors will be instrumental in electing the President of the United States. By 2024, all current high school students will be eligible to vote as adults. In the 2026 election bid by US Senators elected in 2020, today’s 6th grade students could be the deciding vote. Practice makes perfect.

Rocky Mountain National Park Proposes Changes In Camping Fees Rocky Mountain National Park staff are proposing a change in current campground fees. Campground fees are based on comparable fees for similar services in nearby campgrounds. Park staff are proposing an increase for summer camping from $26 to $30 and winter camping from $18 to $20, per site, per night. Park staff are proposing a flat rate at group sites at Glacier Basin Campground. Currently the fees are $4 per person, per night. The proposed flat rates would be as follows: small group site (9-15 people) $40; medium group site (16-25 people) $50; and large group site (26-40 people) $60. Camping is very popular in Rocky Mountain National Park. There are five campgrounds open during the summer, which includes 570 sites. The park’s three reservation campgrounds, Moraine Park, Glacier Basin and Aspenglen, normally fill up six months in advance. The park’s two first-come, first-served campgrounds, Longs Peak and Timber Creek, fill up quickly. Timber Creek Campground, located on the west side of the national park, normally fills up last. Moraine Park Campground remains open during the winter, with 77 sites

available. The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA) is the legislation under which the park currently collects entrance and amenity fees, including camping. This law allows national parks to retain 80 percent of the fees collected for use on projects that directly benefit visitors. The remaining 20 percent is distributed throughout the

visitors throughout the Bear Lake Road corridor and to and from Estes Park; renovation of all restroom facilities throughout the park’s campgrounds; extensive hazard tree mitigation near facilities such as campgrounds, parking lots, road corridors, housing areas and visitor centers; and hiking trail enhancements including maintenance and reconstruction on much of Rocky’s 350 miles of trails. “Camping is very popular in Rocky Mountain National Park. We want to keep our campground fees affordable and provide visitors with the best possible experience,” said Darla Sidles, Park Superintendent. “We feel that our proposed campground fee change is an inNational Park System.

Learn How To Transfer Wealth To The Next Generation

According to The Williams Group, a financial advisory firm, 70% of intergenerational wealth transfers will fail in the second generation. A study by Jay Zagorsky at The Ohio State University found that one third of the people that

receive an inheritance have negative savings within two years. Why do these transfers fail, and how can you ensure that yours does not? Join Estes Park Health Foundation on September 17 at 2 p.m. for a free seminar titled “How Successful Families Approach Money” to learn more. Presenter Jae Shin holds the CIMA (Certified Investment Management Analyst) certification and is a Regional Investment Consultant and Vice President with T. Rowe Price. He’ll talk about the chal-

lenges of effectively communicating with family members about money and how to overcome these challenges. “In this presentation, I’ll provide a framework for families to have more honest and transparent discussions with their loved ones,” Shin said. “This framework is based on effective techniques around communication styles, defining vision, and education.” “In addition to investment vehicles, there are crucial conversations that facilitate the transfer of assets among family members,” said Kevin Mullin, Executive Director at Estes Park Health Foundation. “It’s important to offer a free forum

with no solicitation for community members to learn about their options and discuss their concerns. Leaving an effective legacy in the Estes Valley Community lifts us all up.” RSVP at GivetoEPH.org/seminar by 9/10 to reserve your space at this free event located at the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies. The Estes Park Health Foundation increases community awareness of Estes Park Health, and develops, manages and distributes funds to assist EPH in fulfilling its mission.

Habitat Starts New Home In Estes Park Habitat for Humanity of the St. Vrain Valley has begun construction of its 15th home in the Estes Valley. The first week of construction saw tremendous progress due to two teams of volunteers. A group of employees from BJBC Quality Carpentry and 10 AmeriCorps NCCC members worked with the Habitat construction team to complete the framing, walls, and roof of the home in just six days! The home is being built in partnership with Diana Rascon. Diana has been a resident of Estes Park for 18 years and has two children. She works at the Estes Park Health as a Supervisor of Environmental Services. Diana will contribute 250 hours of “sweat equity” in the construction of her home. When construction is completed, Habitat will sell the home to her at cost with an affordable mortgage which is then reinvested by Habitat to build more homes. “We’re excited about the opportunity to engage the Estes Valley community in addressing the affordable housing crisis,” said David Emerson, Executive Director of St. Vrain Habitat. “This is just the start of many volunteer days that will make a huge difference to Diana and her family.” “Volunteers on the build site do not need any construction experience to have an impact. The Habitat staff will train and guide volunteers on how to do any task safely,” stated Rebecca Shannon, Outreach and Volunteer Manager. “We want to engage individuals, churches, and the local business community in the work of Habitat.” Individuals who want to volunteer can go to St. Vrain Habitat’s website for Estes Park at www.stvrainhabitat.org/estes-park and click on the ‘Volunteer Now’ button to see the days when construction is scheduled. Those interested in bringing a group to volunteer should contact Rebecca Shannon at 303-682-2485 or email volunteer@stvrainhabitat.org.

Explore Your Neighbor’s Creative Space The Studio Tour is just two weeks away: Friday and Saturday, September 14 and 15 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. both days. The Studio Tour’s primary goal is education. Visit one of seven studios and expect to see test tiles and failed (or almost there) experiments. Artists bring finished winners to market and galleries; this is a chance to step inside the workshop and ask questions, touch, and try—so much of the creative process is what if, how, and why? Monte Michener is back for the second year. In his spacious studio you find a large collection of driftwood. From this pile of curves, lines and textures he creates life-size sculptures and wall hanging busts of mountain animals. These animals are very much alive—forcing their way through the wall, nestled quietly in the woods, and calling out one to the other. He is best known for his horses, many of which are installed along the river behind Elements of Touch Wellness Spa and the big slide. Michener also uses

wood to create furniture, and abstract year in a third location! This year, she painting (which, not surprisingly, has a will be in Susan Anderson’s studio.

Colorado Parks And Wildlife K9 Samson Receives Donation Of Body Armor

related agencies throughout the United States. The non-profit was established in 2009 to assist law enforcement agencies with this potentially lifesaving body armor for their four-legged K9 officers. Since its inception, Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. provided over 3,400 protective vests in 50 states, through private and corporate donations, at a value of $5.7 million dollars. The program is open to dogs actively employed in the U.S. with law enforcement or related agencies who are certified and at least 20 months of age. New K9 graduates, as well as K9s with expired vests, are eligible to participate. The donation to provide one protective vest for a law enforcement K9 is $950.00. Each vest has a value between $1,744 – $2,283, and a five-year warranty and an average weight of 4-5 lbs. There is an estimated 30,000 law enforcement K9s throughout the United States. For more information or to learn about volunteer opportunities, please call 508-824-6978. Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. provides information, lists events, and accepts taxdeductible donations of any denomination at www.vik9s.org or mailed to P.O. Box 9, East Taunton, MA 02718. Samson, a Belgian Malinois, is certified with the National Police Canine Association for handler protection, fugitive apprehension and various wildlife species odor detection, is working hard to help protect Colorado’s natural resources and all of those who enjoy them. Samson's handler, Ian Petkash, is the wildlife officer for the Lake George District.

Wendy Roberts Receives Award As “Environmental Educator Of The Year” In Utah Former Estes Park resident, Wendy Roberts, daughter of Jay and Penny Roberts, was recently honored with a prestigious award: the 2019 Vern A. Fridley Formal Environmental Educator of the Year. This award was awarded by the Utah Society for Environmental Education (USEE), and the awards presentation was held on August 9th at Rowland Hall in Salt Lake City. Wendy was a teacher in the Estes Park schools for several years in the early 2000s. She began with her student teaching, followed by working as a private tutor and substitute teaching. After she was hired full-time, she taught classes in ESL, Alternative Education, and science to enhance her experience.

She moved from Estes Park to Liberal, Kansas, where she taught 8th grade physical science for two years at the Middle School level. She then moved on to Ogden, Utah, where she now teaches at the DaVinci Academy of Science and the Arts, a public charter school. At DaVinci Academy, she teaches High School Biology, Advanced Placement (AP) Biology, AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination, a college prep program for 7th-12th grades) and also includes electives such as Botany, Zoology, Aquatic Biology, Wildlife Biology and Current Issues in Science in her curriculum. Previously, she had taught Chemistry and Earth Systems. This year, she has added to her job description the role of Instructional Specialist for the teachers of 7th-12th grades and professional development training. Wendy has also worked extensively with the Great Salt Lake Institute at

Westminster College; she instructs teachers how to use the Great Salt Lake in their science curriculum and how to take students on field trips there. She has worked the entire water cycle into field trips by traveling from the top of the watershed to the entire length of the Salt Lake, showing students the magic and wonder of this unique environment. In addition, she has worked through the Utah State University to acquire Master Naturalist certifications in Mountains and Wetlands. Alex Porpora, Executive Director for USEE says, “We are so proud to acknowledge this year’s environmental education awardees and their contributions to our community. These individuals are role models and inspire me to do the work we do at USEE.” Further she reports, “Our mission is pro-

moting excellence in environmental education by providing support, resources and networking opportunities to Utah’s community of educators. Our vision is an environmentally literate society committed to a sustainable future.” One of Wendy’s current environmental science students was also honored at the USEE awards ceremony, as one of Utah’s “5 under 25” for her work with air qual-

ity legislation at the city and state levels. celebrating Wendy’s outstanding accomWendy says she was more in awe of her plishment. The future will continue to be student’s recognition and levels of dedibright and will reward her over and over cation than her own award. At the as she works to further her personal and awards ceremony, Wendy said, in sumprofessional goals. mary, “My mom was my greatest inspiration. She made me look at things (in the surrounding environment) and then she told me that I needed to tell everybody else. Yes, I make my students hug trees and I make my administrators stop buying plastic bottles.” She attributes her love for the outdoors and education to her years of working with the Girl Scouts, primarily at Meadow Mountain Ranch near Allenspark. It’s easy to see how that Girl Scout background has translated to the level of “master teacher,” as evident in her success which is now reaching beyond her own school and into the broader Utah community. Join her parents in Wendy and students/kids doing outdoor science activities.

In just a few weeks one of the premiere string quartets in the world will be performing in the neighboring town of Allenspark, a short 20-minute drive up Highway 7. That’s right. On Saturday, September 14, you have only to head to The Old Gallery in Allenspark to hear the famed Takács String Quartet, which has been the recipient of three Gramophone Awards, a Grammy Award, three Japanese Record Academy Awards, Disc of the Year at the inaugural BBC Music Magazine Awards and Ensemble Album of the Year at the Classical Brits. The quartet consists of Edward Dusinberre, violin; Harumi Rhodes, violin; Geraldine Walther, viola and András Fejér, cello. Members of the Takács Quartet are Faculty Fellows at the University of Colorado Boulder where they have helped develop a string program with a special emphasis on chamber music. The quartet is known to play with a unique blend of drama, warmth and humor, that combines four distinct musical personalities and brings fresh insights to the string quartet repertoire. The ensemble performs regularly in venues like the Aspen Music Festival, but they have grown to love performing for audiences along the Peak-to-Peak Highway. For a couple of decades, under the sponsorship of the Chamber Music Society of Estes Park, the ensemble performed regularly at the Stanley Hotel

and Hempel Hall—a tradition that was ended by the epic flood of 2013. Fortunately for Allenspark, Dave Pinkow, the Community Host for the event at The Old Gallery and a former CU music faculty member, was contacted by a member of the quartet who expressed an interest in resuming their performances in nearby mountain communities. “The Old Gallery is a perfect place, and many of us had been dreaming of their performing at TOG for some time. Now, for a fourth year, the Takács Quartet has graciously agreed to perform at The Old Gallery—they love the acoustics here and the intimacy of the venue. We’re just thrilled,” Pinkow said. Tickets are $50 and are available at The Old Gallery and theoldgallery.org There are a limited number of tickets available for this event and it is recommended that people purchase tickets in advance. The concert starts at 4:30 p.m. There will be wine and light snacks available, as well. The Old Gallery is located at 14863 Colorado Highway 7, next to the Allenspark Fire Station. Carpooling to the event is encouraged as parking is limited at The Old Gallery. Fortunately, overflow parking is available east of the Gallery on the Highway 7 right of way and in the parking lot just on the other side of the Fire Station.

En Plein Air Demonstration & Discussion At The Old Gallery In Allenspark

You’ve seen them on the side of the road, by a mountain stream and in the midst of golden aspens. They are in front of an easel, fixated on the landscape with paintbrush in hand. They are the En Plein Art artists who work try to capture nature in its finest, on the spot. If you’ve ever wondered how they do it, you’ll want to go to The Old Gallery in Allenspark on Sunday, September 1, when Patty Dwyer is the Artist in Residence. She’ll be doing a Plein Art demonstration and providing insights and information about how to set up and paint outdoors. “I am primarily a landscape painter. I live to be outdoors and painting 'en plein air' is the absolute best way to savor the colors, textures, sounds, smells of the outdoors,” she said. Dwyer is one of 19 artists featured at The Old Gallery in Allenspark, a nonprofit center for community, the arts and visitors on Colorado Highway 7. Her work has been featured at The Old Gallery for the past two years. She is inspired by light, color, texture and courage. “Light is the essence of every successful painting. Color creates the atmosphere within the light,” she said. “Impressionists use color to create

energy and movement. I'm a tactile person. I love using texture and bold strokes to help the light refract and play when it hits my canvas.” Dwyer grew up in the lake country of Minnesota, with beautiful, brutal winters and wonderful summers and autumns. “I grew up in a home filled with art supplies and creativity,” she said. “As my life evolved, my passion for art increased. I’ve actively painted my entire life.” She has a degree in Marketing and Advertising from Arizona State University and attended the University of Denver and University of Northern Colorado for her Masters degree in Art. She is a nationally recognized artist and has shown in New Mexico, Utah and throughout Colorado. She has a studio in Littleton and teaches art classes, both private and group, in oils, soft pastels, watercolor and acrylics. You can view her work at www.pattydwyerartist.com. When asked what she likes about The Old Gallery in Allenspark, she said, “I love the atmosphere and the importance the center plays in the local community.”

Featured Therapist At The Dao House Claudia Devyani from Brazil is returning to the Dao House from September 6 - 13, 2019. Claudia is a trained yogini by Yogi Amrit, as well trained as a shaman at the Four Winds Society.

Applying insight from her well rounded spiritual studies, Claudia, a student, a teacher a therapist is here to help you detox and feel youthful. Additionally, her Essence Detox method includes full body mud smearing, guided hikes and meditation in nature, fire ceremony, nutrition, gratitude mandalas and much more. To make your appointment call 970586-4094 ext 1.

She will be at The Old Gallery from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. as the Artist in Residence on Sept. 1. She also believes art takes courage. “Courage is believing in your abilities, bouncing back after a set back and never giving up on your dream,” she said. “With the support of my dearest husband, I have the great fortune to paint and teach art fulltime.” The Old Gallery is a nonprofit center for community, the arts and visitors, lo-

cated at 14863 Hwy. 7 in Allenspark. It’s a small mountain hamlet close to but far removed from the millions of visitors who come to Estes Park each year. “Allenspark is really special.

No Wait For Popular Books: It’s Your “Lucky Day” By: Peggy Moore, Patron Services Supervisor

Imagine walking into the library on any given day and finding dozens of today’s bestsellers and hottest titles. No waiting lists. No hassles. Make your selection, take it home, and you’re quickly immersed in a great book. That’s the fun and joy of a new wellspring of books called the Lucky Day collection—packed with up-to-the-moment popular titles. A few minutes of browsing—and voila! You’re holding a book that readers are talking about. It’s your “Lucky Day.” Here’s how it works: titles in the Lucky Day collection can be found along the book display wall in the easy-to-browse brightlylit library atrium. These are books that tend to have longer waiting lists because they’re new and indemand. To keep them moving quickly from reader to reader, they check out for seven days—instead of the usual 21 days. These books are an excellent option for fast readers. It’s not possible to place holds on Lucky Day books—that way, once they get returned, they go immediately back on the shelves for the next person to enjoy. Super speedy service! But don’t worry, it’s still possible to place holds on those same titles in our regular collections. The new collection has been extremely popular since it launched last spring— we’re almost up to 500 total check-outs. Recently, one of our regular patrons no-

ticed a Lucky Day title and remarked, “Wow—that’s a book I just put on hold for my wife. And she’s 9th on the list. ” We explained the new program: no holds, no wait. He canceled the hold and happily went home with the book in hand. It was his Lucky Day! This collection celebrates the thrill of discovery: you just never know what might be found—it’s constantly changing from day to day, and hour to hour. How do we choose what titles to buy? It’s based on a Holds Ratio formula. We run regular reports to identify books that have waiting lists—then we buy extra copies (whether for Lucky Day or the regular collection). Reducing your waiting time for books is a strategic priority of the Library’s Board of Trustees. It’s all been made possible by generous people like you—who support the Library Friends & Foundation with your contributions and your purchases at Cliffhanger Used Book Store. The Lucky Day collection is one of the many ways the Library Friends & Foundation serves our community by nurturing literacy through the joy of books. A final note: Lucky Day books kept past seven days do incur a $1 per day late charge—simply to assure the books keep circulating. It hasn’t been a problem for most readers, and they tell us it’s well worth it just to have those popular books in hand. Stop in the library soon…your Lucky Day awaits!

Lavona Slack Long time resident and business person Lavona Slack died at her home Sunday, August 25, 2019. She was 92 years old. Lavona Ellen Graham was born December 30, 1926 in Fannin County near the community of Hudsonville, TX. Her parents were James Mattison Graham and Sarah Addie (McConnell) Graham. In her earlier days, she was a model for Nieman-Marcus. Lavona moved to Estes Park in 1960. On March 4, 1964 she married Lowell Slack at the Community Church of Estes Park which is now the site of The Old Church Shops in downtown Estes Park. Lavona joined Lowell in running the original Taffy Shop downtown and the two were involved in Estes Park social and civic activities.

The couple traveled extensively throughout the world. Memorable trips were aboard the Queen Elizabeth II and earlier this year to Ireland. Lavona was preceded in death by Lowell and daughter Thana Kurrle and son in law Buzz Kurrle, her parents, three brothers and two sisters. She is survived by her brother Dillard Graham, nephews Tom Wright, Jim Wright, Nolan Graham, Neal Graham and a niece Nila Manning. Lavona’s life will be celebrated on Sunday September 29, 2019 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at her home at 850 So. St. Vrain Avenue. Memorials may be made to American Legion Post #119 in care of Allnutt Funeral Service 1302 Graves Avenue Estes Park, CO 80517. See www.allnuttestespark.com.

Amy Ellen Mitterer Amy Ellen Mitterer, 54, passed away on August 20, 2019 with her Mom, Dad and sister beside her. Amy was a long-time Estes resident starting when she was a little girl. Hiking with Grandma Betty Hedlund of Estes was always a summer highlight. Amy grew up in Arvada, Colorado and graduated from Pomona High School in 1983. She received her Bachelor’s in Journalism at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. After her fun college days, Amy moved to Estes and worked at the Estes Park Specialty Clinic, State Farm Insurance and then 12 years with the Town of Estes Park. Amy’s beautiful smile, heart and quick wit greeted folks at the front desk of the town offices. Amy lived with Multiple Sclerosis and was often seen zipping around in her

snazzy wheelchair with flashing wheels and cruising about on her handcycle. Fiercely independent, Amy lived in the family’s cute little pile of logs on Highway 7. She retired in 2010, and in 2012 moved into the Prospect Park Living Center. In 2017, Amy moved down to Westminster, Colorado to be close to her family. Amy lit up any room she came into and loved all of her dear friends in Estes Park. Amy is survived by her parents Al and Fran (Hedlund) Mitterer of Arvada, Colorado, her sister Gretchen Mitterer and her husband Dan Myers of Littleton. A celebration of her life will be held in her beloved Estes Park in late September. Donations in her memory may be made the National MS Society (900 S. Broadway, Denver, CO 80209).

Cheryl Lynn Wilkerson Thomas Andrew Sheehy

Thomas Andrew Sheehy, 89, longtime Estes Park resident, died at home on August 24, 2019. Cremation has taken place. Grandpa Tom was born June 24, 1930 in Newton, IA to Clarence and Waunita Sheehy. He graduated from South High in Denver, enlisted in the Air Force, discharged in 1952 and then received his Bachelor’s Degree in business from the University of Colorado in Boulder. There, he met his wife of 38 years, Lyn Sheehy. Lyn passed away in May of 1995. Tom spent most of his professional career in the finance office at CU Boulder. The Sheehys moved to Estes Park in 1979. He was a charter member of Rocky Mountain Church, Safeway greeter and distributor of donuts. He had three children, son Matthew and his wife Vicky of Aurora, CO, son

Pat and his wife Debbie of Eagle, CO, and daughter Kathy and her husband Chris Moody of Estes Park, CO. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Alaina Sheehy of Orlando, FL, Justine Niesman and husband Tyler, of Edwards, CO, Tiffany Lyn Johns and husband Darin, of Colorado Springs, CO, Leesha Tohlen and husband William of Grapevine, TX and Christopher Moody of Dallas, TX. A Memorial Celebration will be held Sunday, September 1, at 4:00 p.m. at Rocky Mountain Church, 451 Promontory Drive, Estes Park CO. The family requests memorial contributions be made to Rocky Mountain Church-memo: India, to support Estes Park Partnership Transforming an Indian Community.

On August 26, 2019, long-time Estes Park resident Cheryl Lynn Wilkerson passed away. Cheryl was born in Dallas, Texas on January 20, 1953 to Harvey and Carolyn Hicks. After marrying Elton Wilkerson in 1972, Cheryl and Elton moved to Estes Park where they raised their two children and owned and managed the Carriage House, which operated in the Park Place Mall. After a brief hiatus, Cheryl reopened the Carriage House and also managed several retail shops in downtown Estes Park until her retirement in 2017. Cheryl loved her family more than anything and was a devoted mother, mother-in-law and grandmother. She shared her quick wit, incredible sense of humor, playful spirit and selfless attitude with everyone who knew and

loved her. Cheryl will be fondly remembered by her children Kelly and Courtney Wilkerson of Estes Park and Julie and Jeremy Huff of Clay Center, Kansas. She will also be missed by her grandchildren Daniel Scarbrough of Golden, CO, Peyton and Bree Wilkerson of Estes Park and Lane, Lacey and Lisa Huff of Clay Center, KS as well as by her former husband, Elton Wilkerson of Loveland, CO. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, August 31, 2019 at noon at the Overlook Chapel at the YMCA of the Rockies. Memorial contributions can be made to Estes Park Home Health Care and Hospice in care of Allnutt Funeral Service 1302 Graves Avenue Estes Park, CO 80517. See www.allnuttestespark.com.
