Town Seeks Comprehensive Plan Public Engagement At Farmer’s Market Town staff is still available to discuss and hear input for the new Comprehensive Plan, a process which is now underway. Planning staff will share a table with Public Works staff, who are already seeking input on the seasonal paid parking program and transit. Stakeholders may provide input, pose questions, and hear answers on all these matters with a single stop; guests are encouraged to park in the parking structure.

The Town’s table will be located in the eastern-most grassy area of the Visitor Center, near the parking lot. Staff will be present at the table on the following dates from 8:30 – 10:30 a.m.: · September 16 · September 30 The Farmer’s Market table is only one of many ways the public can engage with the Comprehensive Plan and with staff and citizens at work on the Plan. Public meetings are already underway by the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CompPAC) bi-monthly every second and fourth Thursday morning via Zoom. Please see www.estes.org/boardsandmeetings for agendas and login information. The Town also has a dedi-

cated website for the Comprehensive Plan at www.engageestes.org; this site is actively under development but in the near future will provide opportunities for providing input, including surveys, and engaging in discussion.

The Estes Park Comprehensive Plan is intended to present a vision of the future of our community, guiding landuse decisions to achieve that vision, and to lay the foundation for a new Estes Park Development Code. The comprehensive planning process also serves an important role in balancing competing private demands on land through the creation of rational development rules aimed at ensuring the greatest benefit to all stakeholders in greater Estes Park.

The Plan will include valley-wide components that may be adopted by Larimer County; Larimer County is an active participant in the planning process.

For more information, please contact the Town of Estes Park Community Development Department at 970-5773721. More information on the Comprehensive Plan itself is available at www.estes.org/comprehensiveplan.

Learn With The League Come to Learn with the League, and bring a friend!

Join us for our first general meeting for the 21-22 year. We will be in-person and outdoors for the meeting and learning event on September 22 - it's open to all, and free.

We will be at the large shelter house in Stanley Park (between the basketball and tennis courts) from 10 a.m. - noon.

From Community Drive, turn just south of the baseball field, go straight ahead, and park in the large lot by the playground.

Our guest speaker will be Eric Waples, presenting a talk on The Filibuster.

Eric is a long-time teacher of history, government, and constitutional law, as

well as Headmaster of Fountain Valley School from 1987 to 1995. He has visited privately with Supreme Court Justices, and has a vast knowledge of US politics and the US Supreme Court.

Since retiring in Colorado, he often teaches and gives presentations. He is the speaker for the 'Supreme Court Discussion' series at the Estes Valley Community Center.

And, for a sneak peek at the next Learn with the League: we will host Jane DeDecker, whose sculptures include Washington, DC's 'Every Word We Utter', and the upcoming Estes Park Women's Monument. Mark the date on your calendar now: October 20.

TOUR THE The charge(s) are merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

On August 30 at 7:59 p.m. police were called to the 200 block of E. Riverside Drive where they arrested a 39 year old transient male and charged him with felony stalking. He was later transported to the Larimer County Jail.

On August 30 at 9:28 p.m. police stopped a 42 year old male driver from Pleasant Hill, IA at Highway 36 and Community Drive. He was found to be driving under the influence and was

charged with DUI, DUI per se, careless driving and possession of an open container or marijuana in a motor vehicle. He was later transported to the Larimer County Jail.

On September 1 at 11:20 p.m. police stopped a 21 year old male driver from Estes Park in the 700 block of North St. Vrain. Ave. for a defective vehicle, headlight out. He was found to be wanted on a warrant out of Longmont Police Department and was arrested after EPPD issued a summons for driving while license revoked.

On September 11, Patriot Day gives all of us time to reflect on the devastating terror attacks that took nearly 3,000 lives. We commemorate those who we lost and give thanks to the brave first responders who put their lives on the line. Take a moment Saturday to consider what we stand for as a nation and how we can work together to make the world a better place for all.

S TA N L E Y H O M E M U S E U M If these walls could talk, they would tell you a compelling tale of mountain life in early Estes Park through the eyes of the influential Flora & Freelan ("F.O.") Stanley and the domestic help who maintained their house, property, and way of life.

To enter the door of the Stanley's 1904 Colonial Revival home is to pass through a frame into a painting, one with a time and life of its own Be inspired as you take a step back in time with a guided tour of the original mountain home of the Stanleys.

Advance reservations are suggested and tickets can be purchased online at www.StanleyHome.org.

The full tour experience lasts two hours, with each tour beginning at the Estes Park Visitors Center. A well-marked shuttle will pickup guests from the east parking lot (near the electrical vehicle charge stations), at the top of the hour.

9-Hole Golf Course Price Increase In order to implement critical improvements, offset rising utility costs and better support the golfing community, the Lake Estes Golf Course is proposing to modify rates for the 2022 season. Proposed rate changes would include modest increases in green fees ($4.00), carts ($2.00), and season passes ($36.00 $65.00).

The 9-hole course has not experienced a rate increase in five years, and with ever-increasing operating expenses, the modifications are necessary to offer an improved customer experience while continuing to operate at a profit. The rate modifications will allow for multiple necessary improvements at the 9-Hole.

Planned improvements include, but are not limited to: necessary building maintenance, improvements in merchandise offerings, a newer, more efficient cart fleet, and updated rental equipment.

Since the golf course is located on U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Land, any pro-

posed rate change requires the opportunity for public feedback and consideration at the federal level. Feedback is welcomed and can be provided via letter, email, or in person. Letters can be sent to: Estes Park Golf Course 1480 Golf Course Rd Estes Park, CO 80517 Emails can be directed to Director of Golf Operations, Austin Logan. Austin can be reached via email at: austin@golfestes.com In person feedback can be provided at the golf course when managers are on site, or they can be provided at an Open House during the September EVRPD Board Meeting.

Further details can be provided to interested parties by contacting golf course managers Austin Logan or Aaron Tulley.

Estes Park EDC Investor Spotlight: Tom Carosello Tom Carosello was born and raised in northeast Ohio. He graduated from Ohio State University in 1994 with a degree in Journalism and minor in Marketing and Public Relations. Upon graduation he began working for a newspaper reporting on sports and local government in Flagstaff, Arizona. There he pursued his love Tom Carosello of sports, coaching little league baseball and football. After ten years, Tom moved to Pagosa Springs, where he transitioned to working on grants to support the community. In 2005, he worked in recreation administration and became the Recreation Director in 2007 for eight years.

Tom moved to Estes Park in 2016, assuming a new role as Recreation Director for the Estes Valley Recreation and Park District. Its mission is to enrich lives with quality recreation. Their vision of accomplishing that mission is to facilitate and support healthy, active lifestyles for all ages, abilities, and income levels.

They maintain strong and effective relationships with business partners for the Town of Estes Park, the Estes Park School District and the Bureau of Reclamation. While COVID-19 impacted the community center (including a half mil-

lion dollar loss), it boosted outdoor facilities like the marina and golf course with record numbers.

Tom’s favorite part of Estes not only encompasses the stunning mountain views, but the tight knit community. Local residents have a knack for resiliency, whether its flood recovery efforts to wildfires, he appreciates seeing the town come together for the greater good.

He builds strong relationships with both visitors and the local community. His presence on the Estes Park Economic Development Corporation (Estes Park EDC) Board of Directors creates more awareness of local issues and how to support the town.

He sees economic development as a way to cultivate a balanced community and address fundamental matters such as limited childcare and housing availability. Broadband is a strong step forward in attracting young professionals and new families to the area as remote work surges in light of COVID-19. Tom wants to highlight his gratitude to the community during the pandemic as locals continued to utilize outdoor facilities to support the district. Even though they are a tax based district, 70% of their income is reliant on fees and services. Tom wants to hear from the community on how the District is doing; he is available by cell phone at 970-3821356 for comments or concerns.

Estes Park Health Foundation Awarded $200k Grant Estes Park Health Foundation was awarded a $200k grant from Lienemann Charitable Foundation toward the purchase of a new MRI machine at Estes Park Health. The grant will be paid over four years.

“Support from the Lienemann Charitable Foundation for this $1.1 million project is a critical component of this campaign,” said Kevin Mullin, President at Estes Park Health Foundation. “EPH Staff perform an average of 5-6 MRIs each day at Estes Park Health. The current machine is 14 years old and experiences a significant amount of downtime due to required repairs. The new MRI machine gives scans in half the time of the current machine and is wider and quieter, which makes for a more comfortable exam for patients. We are so grateful to our friends at the Lienemann Charitable Foundation for their ongoing partnership.

MRI is used to diagnose disease/injury, assess how a patient responds to treatment, and is the preferred method to

view soft tissue and organs. MRIs are employed for brain injury, cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, eye problems, inner ear problems, damage to joints, bone infections, neck pain, low back pain, and for suspected damage to the liver, pancreas, or kidneys. Quick access to MRI is critical for suspected stroke patients. If you’re interested in donating, visit www.GivetoEPH.org/MRI. The Lienemann Charitable Foundation is a private foundation founded in 1967.

The purpose of the foundation is to provide funding to impact people’s lives and make a difference in the communities where they serve.

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. To learn more about initiatives or to volunteer, contact them at GiveToEPH.org or 970-577-4370.

My 86-year-old mother has been living with Alzheimer’s since 2013. She tries to talk but we can’t make out a word she says. Except when I hand her a napkin she says something resembling, “Thank you” and when a little burp slips out she says a muffled, “Excuse me.” The polite part of her brain has not been affected.

But she can’t say what she’s thinking, she can’t tell us what she needs, we don’t know if she is thirsty or if she’s in pain or if she’d like to sit outside for awhile.

Because Alzheimer’s can be hereditary, I am signing up for every study I can to help eliminate the ruthless disease and I’m working on a way to donate my brain to Emory University’s Goizueta Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) when that time comes. Meantime, we watch as Mom slowly—and now more rapidly—fades away.

My mom had a stroke or a TIA last Friday. (TIA is an acronym for something way too long to try to pronounce here.

It’s a mini-stroke.) Since then she hasn’t had the strength to eat or drink much of anything and spends most of her time in bed with her eyes closed. She’s not asleep the whole time, but she’s certainly not up doing jumping jacks. Her body has betrayed her and I suspect her sweet spirit is growing weary trying to come to a truce. She’s plumb worn out.

Now the waiting has begun. It could be days or it could be weeks. No one can say for sure. That’s the way it is at the end of life. There is no formula to apply that will result in an exact prognosis.

And so we wait.

No medical professional can predict what’s going to happen. A year ago last February she had a stroke that we thought would do her in. But she spent a few days in bed and then she was back to her happy self, with only a slight droop in her smile. Since that time she has lost the ability to get out of her wheelchair or communicate verbally, but that’s the Alzheimer’s preying on her brain, not because of her stroke. Her brain was once again violated a week ago and she was knocked down a bit harder than last time.

Will she rally? Are our tears for naught? Are we premature in saying our

goodbyes? Or is it appropriate to be counting weeks and days— or even hours, until she is released from this eight-year torment? “When will it happen?” we ask the hospice nurse. She can’t say.

“Should we come?” my brothers and sisters ask, far away with families and jobs and COVID to deal with. My answer is the universal “I don’t know” that comes with approaching death.

I spend my days with her, singing the Girl Scout songs she’s loved since youth and reading aloud the poetry she read to her kids as we snuggled at her side before bed. I show the photo album of Dad and Mom’s 50th wedding anniversary at YMCA of the Rockies and wonder if she recognizes any of us. I lie down next to her in bed and squeeze her hand. She squeezes back. I weep and hope she can’t see my tears, dampening the mask that hides most of my face. I hold up the iPad so my siblings can talk to her on FaceTime and WhatsApp. It is far from satisfying for them but the best we can do under the circumstances.

“It’s ok to go,” we have each told her.

This is the process of dying, I think to myself. The waiting, the wondering, the tears, the smiles. I’m told I should consider this unique time a gift. And I do.

But I also know my mom would have wanted her journey to take wing long before she reached this merciless slog of helplessness and anguish. She had wanted to plan her last breath, had researched how to do that, but like in the book Still Alice by Lisa Genova, she lost the ability to follow through before she had her plan in place.

As we receive the mixed blessing of each dichotomic moment, we sing, we recite poetry, we talk, we weep, we reminisce, we blow kisses from afar, we hold our breath and then we breathe. We take hands, we squeeze, we give permission and we wait to let go.

Group Dedicates Carolyn Patch Fairbanks Dog Park

A group of animal lovers assembled last Saturday to witness the re-naming of the dog park to commemorate the work Carolyn Fairbanks, former President of the Pet Association and her dedication to helping and loving animals in the Estes Valley and beyond, throughout her life.

Local Realtor® Mike Richardson spearheaded the concept a few months ago, which happened to align with a signage project at Stanley Park. He remarked, “Thanks to the Rec District for letting us re-name the dog park to honor a special lady. The turnout was amazing! A big

thanks to Mindy Stone for helping me put this event together, and also to the Estes Park Pet Association for all they do.”

The sign is in a new format which was approved by the EVRPD Board a few months ago. Tom Carosello, EVRPD’s Exective Director commented, “EVRPD would like to thank staff members Lisa VonBargen and Michael Barringer for their efforts toward expediting this initiative, as well as Mike Richardson for suggesting this honor and coordinating the logistics to see it to fruition.”

Seven Nations Celtic Rock Band To Perform At Autumn Gold Festival

Home Sweet Home Dog Trainer For the Love of Dogs

Private Training at your Home or in Estes 3 Sessions $100

Call or Text Judy Wood at 970.699.1856 www.HomeSweetHomeDogTrainer.com

The Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary Club is excited to announce that the Seven Nations Celtic Rock Band will be the opening act at Autumn Gold: A Festival of Beer, Brats and Bands on Saturday, September 25th at 11:00 a.m.

Seven Nations will also perform at the Historic Park Theatre that evening and Sunday evening (September 26th) at 8:00 p.m.

There is no admission fee for the Autumn Gold Festival in Bond Park, so you can listen to Seven Nations for free!

While you’re at the festival dancing in the grass, have a brat and a beer (or wine). Walk around, and see the classic cars displayed at the Autumn Gold Classic Car Show; then, vote for your favorite one. The kids will enjoy the face painters, the bouncy house and all the family-friendly games. If you are feeling

lucky, you can buy a $100 raffle ticket for a chance to win the grand prize of $10,000!

Seven Nations is a Celtic Rock Band that is world renowned, as it has performed at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, a New Year’s Eve performance at Scotland’s Royal Mile for some 40,000 people, and at the New York City Marathon. Seven Nations has also played many times in Estes Park during the Scottish Highland Festival, but this time they are ecstatic to be playing at the Autumn Gold Festival in Bond Park and then at the Historic Park Theatre at 8 p.m. each night of the weekend of September 25th and 26th.

Seven Nations is a major sponsor of the Old Historic Park Theatre, as the band has played there five times before.

EPNRC Publishes List Of Nonprofits

The Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center connects, supports, and inspires nonprofits to execute their mission. The organization not only connects nonprofits to each other, but they also connect nonprofits to the community.

A comprehensive list of nonprofits in and in-service to the Estes Valley is now listed online. There are roughly 70 nonprofits registered in the 80517 area code.

Another 20 nonprofits are housed down valley but serve the Estes Park community. Each organization is listed with their name, mission statement, contact information and BBB Charity Accreditations (if achieved).

The Nonprofit List is a compilation of the Town of Estes Park Community Resource Guide, data pulled from the Secretary of State, and Partnership Network meetings, which brought new and farther reaching nonprofits that serve Estes Park.

This list is, in part, a response to regular questions fielded by EPNRC: What nonprofits are in Estes? I want to donate to a nonprofit that works in this community, what are my options? I want to start a nonprofit that does “x”, is there a nonprofit that already does that?

This list is a valuable resource for nonprofits looking to connect with new partners. It is also a resource for individuals to find help and discover agencies that do work they find meaningful—because they want to donate money, volunteer, or offer their skills to a board of directors.

Some philanthropic entities or quasigovernment agencies in town may not have 501(c)(3) status, which allows individuals to make tax-deductible contributions. The list includes the Foundations that support those organizations (Estes Park Health, the American Legion, Salud, the Recreation Center etc.).

EPNRC is here to make “doing good in the neighborhood” easier and more efficient. Please visit epnonprofit.org to learn more and view the List of Nonprofits.

Expectant Mom’s Group Starting Up This Fall

EVICS Family Resource Center is eager to offer our first Expectant Mom’s Group this fall. Beginning Tuesday, September 7th and 21st, this group will meet the first and third Tuesday of each month at 4:00 p.m. Group will meet in person, with masks and may move to virtual meetings. Everything from informal social gatherings to expert led educational courses, this group provides support and community for new, expectant, and pregnant mothers.

We know that support throughout pregnancy and the “fourth trimester”

shows to have a huge impact on the mother's wellbeing. Creating a community of support around a mother decreases the chances of depression, builds a strong bond with the child, and is just plain fun to get to know other women in this stage of life and motherhood!

We hope to see you at the EVICS Family Resource Center Office located at the 1182 Graves Ave, Unit A, September 7th & 21st at 4:00 p.m. Interested or want more information? Join our email list and reach out to carlie@evics.org. We look forward to hearing from you!

Trail Ridge Quilters Raise Money For Hospital

Drew Webb, board member of both the Newcomers Club and EPH Foundation; quilters Judy Anderson and Jeanne Allen; Kevin Mullin, President, EPH Foundation; Newcomers Club President Debbi Stalder; Group Leader Donna Bryson; quilters Jane Rising and Kris Halac.

The Trail Ridge Quilters, an interest group of the Estes Park Newcomers Club, raised $4014 for the Estes Park Health Foundation during the group’s July online quilt sale. This diligent group of quilters produces a variety of quilted and fabric creations that it sells to raise funds in support of our local hospital and its patient care services to Estes Valley residents. Donna Bryson, leader of Trail Ridge Quilters, says that the group is pleased that their work helps their friends and neighbors in the community, and thanks them for their continued support.

The group is excited to announce its next sale on November 6, 2021 to benefit the Estes Park Health Foundation. They are hopeful that the sale will return to an in-person venue, so that supporters and quilt lovers can see up close and touch these hand-made, unique home crafts.

The quilters continued to meet via zoom during the pandemic shut down, and created over 125 new items.

Just in time for Holiday gift-giving and decorating, the November 6 sale at a location to be announced, will feature the usual “hot sellers”, including: all sizes of quilts in many designs, wildlife-themed quilted items like wall hangings, table runners, hand and kitchen towels, aprons, purses and bags, pot holders, hot bowl cozies for microwaved foods, and more. Of course there will be an abundance of Christmas-themed items, such as the very-popular tree skirts, table toppers, cloth ornaments, and Advent calendars, along with children’s toys, cloth infant books and so-cute baby doll-sized quilts.

Please mark your calendars now for this fun and charitable event on November 6!

Five Fun Facts About… The American White Pelican By: Dawn Wilson

This week’s featured animal is the American white pelican.

As summer winds down, the American white pelican is one of the last birds to leave Colorado. Although white pelicans typically only make Estes Park a stopover on their migration during the spring and fall, they take up summer residence on Shadow Mountain Lake in Grand Lake and on many of the lakes near Fort Collins, Loveland, Longmont, and many other

Front Range communities. Colorado is also the southernmost state where the migratory white pelicans breed; a nonmigratory colony breeds along the Gulf Coast. Here are five addition facts about this large white bird.

1. American white pelicans are one of the largest birds in North America.

Their wings can reach a wingspan of nine feet and the bird can weigh more than 30 pounds.

2. The bill of an American white pelican can hold up to three gallons of wa-

ter.

3. When people think of a pelican, the brown pelican of coastal communities typically comes to mind first. The American white pelican, however, prefers fresh water and spends more of their time on interior bodies of water during the summer, sometimes visiting their brown pelican cousins along the southern coasts in winter.

4. The word pelican comes from the Greek term “pelekys, ” meaning “ax,” a reference to the bird’s large, flat beak.

American white pelicans nest in large colonies usually on an island or remote shore of a freshwater lake.

An American white pelican cruises across one of the ponds in early morning light at St. Vrain State Park in Longmont, Colorado.

5. Unlike its brown pelican cousin that dives for its food, the white pelican scoops its food, preferring mostly fish, from the water.

Dawn Wilson is a professional and award-winning nature photographer who lives in Estes Park year-round. You can see more of her work, join one of her Rocky tours, and purchase prints at DawnWilsonPhotography.com or follow her on Instagram: @dawnwilsonphoto.

An Easy Way To Help The Elk Stow away your hammocks, volleyball nets, swings By: Kris Hazelton

The elk rut in the Estes Valley is underway and the Colorado Parks and Wildlife now urges us to please look around our homes, yards and businesses for items

any encounters such as the entangled bulls shown on this page.

According to CPW Wildlife Managers, they anticipate they will have to drug immobilize several elk this season that will get tangled in a fence, a piece of playground equipment, even lawn furniture.

Watch And Enjoy The Rut In Safety!

By: Kris Hazelton

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

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

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

Raise your arms to make yourself look larger. For photographers, a good rule of thumb is "give them room, use your zoom. Keep you dog leashed and quiet.

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

that the bulls may get tangled up in.

Just this week a large bull got his antlers caught in a child’s swing. The swing was hanging outside and while the homeowner was away, a bull happened by and tried to spar with the This kind of entrapment is totally preventable, just take a walk around your home and yard and look to see what an animal might get caught up in.

Sometimes, elk are able to be rescued from entanglements by drug immobilizing them and then freeing them from whatever they are caught up in. Often times though, the results are tragic and the bulls swing. Imagine the shock when the homeowner came home to find the bull with their swing hanging from the bull’s antlers.

This is too common an occurrence in the fall when bulls try to spar with anything that moves.

When bull elk are pumped up with testosterone, anything that moves can be of interest to that bull. Swings, hammocks, volleyball nets and tire swings blowing in the wind pose a challenge for the elk and they will approach these items and actually spar with them. This can be a very dangerous practice as their antlers can easily become entangled in these items we have all around our homes and yards.

The CPW is urging all residents to bring these items in for the fall, to avoid

die or need to be euthanized.

Lets make sure to look over our yards and bring in anything that might pose an entrapment hazard for our resident elk.

Do it today, your actions could save the lives of these beautiful creatures.

NEVER get this close!

Or this close!

predator.

Never block traffic. "Elk jams" are a danger to everyone - blocking traffic creates all kinds of potentially dangerous situations. Be sure to pull completely off the roadway, out of the way of through traffic.

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

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

Enjoy watching the rut but please remember - elk are wild animals. Be aware and be respectful. View quietly from a safe distance. Never attempt to touch or feed wildlife, it's dangerous and illegal.

There's a reason it's called wildlife.

TIRED OF FACING ‘UPS’ AND ‘DOWNS’ OF LIFE WITHOUT THE HELP YOU NEED? The past couple of years have been, for almost everyone in our nation…even our world…a period of ‘ups’ and ‘downs’…and for all, mostly the latter. There really seem to be very few areas of life: financial, health, educational, cultural, relational, environmental, and the list goes on, where there have been many ‘ups’ and, mostly, tremendous ‘downs’, taking its toll on everyone in our world. How many people in our nation today, could say that they are ‘better off’ than they were a couple of years ago? (I can, because I was dealing with cancer two years ago, today I am cancer free! But not everyone is so blessed.) So, how do we handle those ‘ups’ and ‘downs of life?

The Bible has the answer! Its pages are filled with true accounts of men and women who were tremendously blessed with ‘Ups’, while being no less challenged by ‘Downs’! Let me remind you of a few. We remember a man named Elijah who was engaged in a ‘contest’ on Mount Carmel with the prophets of a false god, Baal. Elijah enjoyed an ‘up’ experience’ of joy, when God showed undeniably that Elijah was the true prophet, and God the true god, by bringing fire from heaven to burn up his sacrifice. It wasn’t long, however, until Elijah is ‘down’, even asking for God to take his life…before more ‘up’ experiences with God’s help. We remember the account of three Hebrews…Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego…who were enjoying some years of good things (‘ups’) in Babylon, when they found themselves suddenly thrown into s fiery furnace (Daniel 4). But, they were able to handle that ‘down’, with the help of ‘One like unto the Son of Gods’, Who was with them and kept them unscathed during the intense fires. In the words of the Statler Brothers, “They didn’t bend! They didn’t bow! They didn’t burn’!” How about us?

We can all be like that! None of us will have lives of uninterrupted ‘ups’, with no ‘downs’. The question is, how do we handle both?

To help our community to wrestle with that question, we, at the Church of Christ which meets at 1470 Fish Creek Road, are hosting a special day on September 26. We are inviting the members of the Estes Park community to visit our morning worship at 10:30 and be encouraged by a lesson from God’s Word. Following our dismissal, every person will be handed a special ‘ticket’ (invitation) to drive immediately to the Mustang Mountain Coaster parking lot where we will enjoy lunch together, supplied by our members, and then enjoy an afternoon of free ‘ups’ and ‘downs’ on the Mustang Mountain Coaster to symbolize our recognition that this is just like our lives…we will have our ‘ups’ and our ‘downs’, but we will also know that, just as the tracks and the seat belts of the coaster will guide and protect us on our way ‘up’ and ‘down’ the mountain, so our God is there to guide and protect us in our ‘ups’ and ‘downs’ in life. Please join us, with your family and as many guests as you want to bring, to that special day. The Coaster is reserved for us that day. Of course, as always, as Christians we stand ready to help you with your ‘ups’ and ‘downs’ on an ongoing basis as well.

One of the things that will be special about that day is that, as someone in our community observed, “From the top of the Coaster mountain, you have the best view of Estes Park that money can buy!” Even so, through regular study of God’s Word and faithful attendance to worship with God’s people, you will have the best view of the greatest ‘up’ of anyone’s life…a view of and preparation for heaven. So, mark it on your calendar: 10:30 AM – WORSHIP with the Church of Christ on Fish Creek RD 12:30 PM – DINNER at the Mustang Mountain Coaster 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM -- FREE COASTER RIDES for participants Please come and join us on our special day. If you have any questions feel free to call Gabe Bruyere (307-760-6431), me, (720-530-6446), or the office (970-586- 4793). May God’s riches blessings rest upon us all as we face life’s ‘ups’ and ‘downs’!

We Succeed By Working Together By: Robin Harding, Former Vice President, Estes Valley Land Trust Board of Directors

This is the third article in an eight-part series that covers the Estes Valley Land Trust’s recently adopted Core Values. More information about the land trust’s Core Values can be found at www.evlandtrust.org.

Like most of the residents that call Estes Park home, I wasn’t born here. I grew up in in the Mississippi Delta, where land is as flat as it gets. I fell in love with Estes Park when I came here as a 12-year old Cheley Camper. As a child, I was captivated with the mountains and knew that someday I’d return…for good.

Almost 50 years later, I moved to Estes Park permanently.

Of course I’m still captivated with these mountains and they’re just like I remember them as a Cheley Camper. I joined the Estes Valley Land Trust to ensure these mountains and the surrounding lands remain open and natural for generations to come.

As a member of the Board of Directors, I learned that the land trust succeeds by working with private and public landowners, donors and volunteers and to truly make a difference and conserve more land in the Estes Valley, we need to be a more collaborative organization.

In Mississippi, I owned an advertising agency and we took a very collaborative approach to our work. Back then, we re-

ferred to the T. E.A. M. acronym, or Together, Everyone Achieves More. All staff, the account executive, creative director, copywriter, graphic designer, photographer, cinematographer and IT specialist worked together. The melding of ideas resulted in a better final product.

That’s the same approach the Estes Valley Land Trust takes today, but on a community-wide scale. Hermit Park Open Space is a great example of succeeding by working together.

Hermit Park is owned and managed by Larimer County and was preserved through a joint effort between the Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Great Outdoors Colorado and the Estes Valley Land Trust. The 1,362-acre park simply wouldn’t exist without these organizations and dozens of individuals working together.

And Hermit Park is there for us all, forever. You can hike, bike, horseback ride, camp or picnic at Hermit Park Open Space and more than 70% of the park is designated for wildlife and prohibits development. This was truly an innovative and collaborative project and I’m excited to see what the land trust and their partners come up with next.

About the Estes Valley Land Trust Founded in 1987 by Estes Park residents, the Estes Valley Land Trust is a nationally recognized land conservation organization that has preserved nearly 10,000 acres of land and some of the most iconic landscapes in the Estes Valley. More than 400 members support the Estes Valley Land Trust annually and additional information can be found at evlandtrust.org.

Catholic Church Hosts Golf Tournament Book Discussion: A Famous Novelist’s Secret In “The Wife”

Estes Valley Crisis Advocates and the Estes Valley Library are co-hosting a monthly book discussion series, open to everyone. This month’s featured book is “The Wife” by Meg Wolitzer.

The three-part book discussion will

take place in-person on three consecutive Wednesdays from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.: September 16, 23, and 30. Participants should sign up in advance at estesvalleylibrary.org.

Meg Wolitzer’s novel “The Wife” has been called “acerbically funny” and a “rollicking, perfectly pitched triumph.”

It tells the story of the long and stormy marriage between world-famous novelist Joe Castleman and his wife Joan, and the secret they have kept for decades. As Joe is about to receive a prestigious award, his wife Joan, who has spent forty years subjugating her own literary talents to fan the flames of his career, finally decides to stop. Of the book, “Newsday” wrote, “Deft and passionate, it raises questions about misguided aims and the deals we make with ourselves and others to reach them. ” The conversation will be led by an advocate for Estes Valley Crisis Advocate.

Visit the Events link at estesvalleylibrary.org to sign up. Once signed up, participants will receive information on how to access the book

Some locations are right off the highway; others are up a dirt road. The Studio Tour is a great way to see work in progress, wild starts, and misfired ideas. Finished work will also be available for sale.

Many of the artists in this event are inspired by our natural environment, it is hard not to be enamored with the Rocky Mountain ecosystem. Three artists in particular render realistic to interpretive drawings, paintings, and sculptures that mimic feathers, landscape, flowers and more.

This charming 2 bedroom 1 bath cabin is conveniently situated between Estes Park and Allenspark. The open floor plan includes a wood burning rock fireplace and spacious eat-in kitchen.

Patricia Greenberg creates pencil drawings that are highly detailed. The process is meditative, slow, and the final work is hyper realistic.

Fine artist Patricia Greenberg draws in a quiet room under a bright light, sometimes with a magnifying lamp. The work is exact, intensely accurate, almost meditative. It is hard to even believe it is a drawing! She renders her drawings on coquille paper, which has a textured surface of tiny scallops. Her subject matter includes portraiture and flora and fauna. Her original drawings will be exhibited. Reproductions of her work and sets of small picnic plates (reproduced from her drawings) will also be available. Her home is at the base of Old Man Mountain.

Deedee Hampton is a storyteller and cultural commentator; she loves humor, irony, color and beauty. Her studio is a playful library full of clay, glass, metal, paint, wood—all materials she uses to create paintings, totems, and metal embossed idioms. You may know Deedee’s Spirit Animal paintings from the utility boxes she painted near the post office and the banner hanging from the Estes parking garage. Deedee will be showing small clay figurative garden & house plant totems, unique mosaics for the garden made of

Red Barn and Night #2, Karen Barnett’s large abstract landscape paintings.

Karen Barnett creates intensely colored abstract paintings and plein aire pastels.

Some of the work is abstract—it might be described as large blocks (or fields) of color with expressive lines and marks, whereas some of her work is representational—you know you are in a forest or looking down the valley floor. She also has a long history of working in ceramic wall tiles, usually set in showers, as backsplashes, or entire walls. Her home overlooks the Estes Valley from the north side, just past Eagle Rock school.

Printed maps are now available at Kind Coffee, Lumpy Ridge Brewing, and Bird & Jim Restaurant. Information on artists, examples of their work, and an interactive map can be found on epstudiotour.com.

This event is founded and funded by artists. Realtor Heidi Riedesel, Aspen Brook Vacation Rentals, Dr. Daniel Rauk, the Estes Arts District, Bird & Jim Restaurant and Kind Coffee provide additional support. Viva Creative Culture!

Ranking Your Goals: A Smart Move Like most people, you may have several financial goals. But can you reach them all?

It would be simple if you had great wealth. But you’ll likely need to rank your goals in terms of their importance to your life and then follow appropriate strategies to achieve them. By doing so, you may end up getting pretty close to covering each of your objectives, in one way or another.

When prioritizing your goals, consider following this process: • Identify goals as “must have” or “nice to have.” Making sure you don’t outlive your resources is a must-have goal, so you need to be as certain as possible of achieving it. On the other hand, a nice-to-have goal might be something like buying a vacation home. If you don’t attain the money needed for this goal, you do have room to compromise, perhaps by scaling down to a smaller home in a different area or just renting a place for a few weeks a year. Having this flexibility can provide a psychological benefit, too. Since this goal doesn’t have an either-or outcome, you won’t have to feel that you failed if you don’t get the big vacation home – instead, you can still enjoy the results of your investment efforts, even at a more modest scale.

• Put “price tags” on your goals. You need to know what your goals will cost.

Even if you can only make an estimate, it’s essential to have some figure in mind.

As time goes by, you can always revise your projected costs. To arrive at these price tags, you may want to work with a financial professional who has the tools and technology to create hypothetical illustrations and scenarios.

• Follow an appropriate strategy. The nature of your goals and their estimated

cost will drive your investment strategy.

So, for example, using the must-have goal mentioned above – the need to avoid outliving your money – you’ll want to balance your growth objectives with your comfort with risk, as well as maintain an appropriate withdrawal strategy when you’re retired. However, for a nice-to-have goal, such as your large vacation home, perhaps you don’t need the same urgency – consequently, with part of your portfolio, you might be able to take more risk in hopes of greater returns. And if you fall short, you can always go with Plan B – i. e., the smaller home or the rental experience.

But if your "nice to have" is closer to a "must have" in this area as well, you might want to focus less on achieving greater returns and instead look at ways of adjusting your budget to save more.

• Monitor your results. As you pursue your goals, whether must have or nice to have, you’ll want to check your results regularly. If you think you’re not making enough progress toward your desired goal, you may need to make adjustments. But don’t overreact to short-term swings in the financial markets or in the value of your portfolio, or take on an inappropriate amount of risk. When trying to reach your goals, you can alter your path, but it’s usually not a good idea to change directions altogether.

The decisions involved in identifying, prioritizing and achieving your goals can be somewhat involved. But by following a well-designed process, you can help yourself get to where you want to go.

The Rotary Golf Tournament Is All About Estes Park Kids.

Help Us Make Their Future Bright!

By: Dale Bonza

Class is in session at Estes Park high school and the close to 90 seniors who make up the Class of 2022 are hoping to make it their best year ever. They look forward to graduation next May and then to their next step in life – college, trade school, a career.

The Rotary Club of Estes Park is working to give them a boost in the form of scholarships when they graduate to be sure they don’t miss out on the opportunity for further education and to leave their mark on the world. You can help by joining us for our yearly golf tournament.

Golf Tournament Mark the date - Saturday, Sept. 25 – for this fun and important Rotary fundraiser. The event will begin at 9:30 a. m. with a shotgun start at the 18-hole Estes Park Golf Course.

The $125 fee includes green fees, cart, lunch from Smokin’ Dave’s BBQ and a participation gift. In addition, $25 of the fee will benefit the scholarship fund for Estes Park High School Seniors.

A drink cart will be available thanks to the generosity of Bank of Colorado.

To register for the tournament, download forms posted on the Estes Park Rotary Club website at www.rotaryclubofestespark.org Golf Tournament Page. Registration and sponsorship forms are also available at the Estes Park 18-Hole Golf Course.

Anyone who would like to be a sponsor or donate prizes or any golfer with questions should call Pete Sumey 970-4434644 or Ron Gordon 979-586-0370 or email rgordon@frii.com.

• Named Scholarship $2,500 • Diamond Sponsor $2,000 • Gold Sponsor $1,000 • Silver Sponsor $ 500 • Bronze Sponsor $ 250 • Tee/Green Sponsor $ 125 • Fairway Sponsor $ 75 • Goodwill Sponsor $ Any amount To make a donation to the scholarship fund, send your check made out to Rotary Club of Estes Park Foundation at PO Box 1365. Estes Park, CO 80517.

This is the 24th year that Rotary is hosting a golf tournament to help raise the money for scholarships. The 2020 tournament had to be canceled due to Covid, and that meant we did not raise our usual $17,500 last year. We still gave scholarships! We really need the community’s help to make up for it this year!

What can you do?

• Be a sponsor – our main source of income.

• Give a merchant prize to encourage golf registrations, which this year add $25 per player to the fund.

• Sign up to play in the tournament –

and bring your friends.

• Make a donation to the Rotary Foundation Scholarship Fund.

Let’s not let our high school students down.

Covid made for a tough year, but this year Estes Park is even tougher!

When Lois Rentz took a stained glass class with her mom during high school, she never expected it to light a passion that would last over 40 years. “That class led to glass blowing in college and ultimately glass fusing for the past 20 years,” said Rentz. And yes, she still has that stained glass project she made.

Rentz was influenced by her mother, who had an artistic flair. “She could do anything. She could sketch and paint and make clothes. I remember doing little projects with her as a child,” she said. “I think art has always spoken to me.”

Rentz minored in art in college while earning her Bachelor Degree in Business Administration. But, like many artists, after college Rentz focused on her career as a paralegal and raising three children

with her husband. “I would do a few projects while they were in school, but they were few and far between.”

Once her children were older, she signed up for a class in fused glass with Connie Sanchez at the Stained Glass Warehouse in Englewood. “Connie really became a mentor to me. She had classes that were reasonably priced and had all the tools and equipment you needed to set up your own studio. I bought my first kiln from her,” she said.

Rentz now has three kilns in the studio her husband built and outfitted for her this year. It has grinders, saws, tools and everything she needs, with each tool having its own dedicated power circuit.

“When my husband built it for me, he said he knew he’d end up seeing less of me,” she said with a laugh. Now retired, she spends time in her studio most days.

“I love working with glass. It’s very relaxing for me and helps me de-stress. It’s just a fun artform for me.”

Rentz is a featured artist at The Old Gallery in Allenspark, a nonprofit center for community, art and visitors. The beautifully renovated 1940s log structure is home to 28 accomplished regional artists. She joined The Old Gallery this year and finds its’ roster of artists inspiring. “There are so many versatile artists there. The gallery has that old-timey history but it’s also very modern. It’s a great place to find art.”

Many of Rentz’s pieces have a Mid Century Modern flair. “I’ve done a lot of research into Mid Modern design, and it often included cats. I can incorporate them into my designs doing playful things. They can be elongated or fat or sneaky. It’s fun.” She is also available for commissions. “I recently did a project for a woman’s 80th birthday featuring columbines, hummingbirds and specific mushrooms that she forages. Her friends commissioned it for her and it was a lot of fun to do.”

She will be doing a fused glass demonstration at The Old Gallery from 1:30-4:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 25 as part of “Follow The Yellow Leaf Road,” an Art Drive featuring four dif-

ferent art galleries. Featured galleries include Art Center of Estes Park, The Glass TIPI in Ward, The Old Gallery and Gilpin County Arts in Central City.

Several of her glass art pieces can be found on display at the Winot Café in Niwot through the month of September, along with the work of six other artists.

The Old Gallery Artists Co-Chair and Glass Artist Sally Van Der Kamp said, “Lois and I share a passion for glass, and I can appreciate all of the time she spends perfecting her craft. Her passion is evident in the variety of fused glass art she produces. Her love of color, imagination, and mastery of the kiln shows in every piece she creates.”

The Old Gallery is located at 14863 Colorado Highway 7 in Allenspark, and is open from 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. daily. It is only 20 minutes from Estes Park and Lyons.

Artist Wants To Make People Feel Like They Need To Go Outside She remembers always drawing and painting as a child, but never pursued art except for one free form art class in college. Her focus was on her career as a respiratory therapist and being a single mother. “I was very busy working and taking care of my son. I just didn’t have time for art. When I decided I was burned out in the medical field, I rediscovered my love of art.”

She now paints in her studio almost every day, often forgetting what time it is and when to eat. “I’m just immersed in it. I have the time to devote to my art and the more I do it, the more creative I get and the more ideas come to me. The gates have just opened,” she said.

She moved to Allenspark last winter, but has always lived an adventurous life.

Mary Jeanne Stapleton Overly Mary Jeanne Stapleton Overly was born in Toledo, Ohio on July 28, 1932. Mary passed away peacefully at the Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland, Colorado on Sunday, August 29, 2021.

Her children and her husband, Jack, were at her side.

Mary always wanted to see new places and learn new things. She often talked of exploring Toledo on her bicycle as a young girl and later traveled extensively throughout the United States and overseas.

Mary graduated in 1954 with a degree in education from Mary Manse College, a private women’s Catholic college. She met Jack Overly in 1950 when she was an entering freshman at Mary Manse. They dated throughout their college years and were married June 19, 1954 - two weeks after her graduation.

They celebrated 67 years of marriage this past June.

Jack’s vocation with a national department store chain took them to various areas across the country; from Toledo, Ohio to Fremont, Ohio; Cincinnati, Ohio; Augusta, Georgia; Pueblo, Colorado; Yakima, Washington; and Monument, Colorado. Along the way, Mary taught handicapped and special education children in Fremont, Ohio; Colorado Springs, Colorado; and Yakima, Washington. In 1976, Jack and Mary purchased a company in Yakima, Washington which specialized in commercial interior design, space planning, and furnishings causing them to return to Yakima, Washington. After retiring from teaching, Mary created a religious education program for handicapped adults in Yakima and worked with that program as long as they lived in Yakima.

Over the years, they often visited Estes Park, Colorado. In 1987, they built a house in Estes Park and moved there permanently after Jack retired in 1992. After the move, Mary gave of her time to many things that were important to her. She taught religious educa-

tion for children at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church, where she also served as a lector for several years. She served on the Library Foundation Board and helped sort books for the annual library book sale. She also spent many years as treasurer of her homeowner’s association. Mary's family was always her priority, and she was a caring, devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, always putting others before herself.

Mary loved to dance. She and Jack danced together on their first date and for many years after. They taught country western dancing with their dance club for several years while in Yakima.

In Estes Park, they were long-time members of the Friday Niters dance club. She was also noted as a pie baker by family and friends and when living in Pueblo, Colorado she won a blue ribbon at the Colorado State Fair for her delicious apple pie. She loved the mountains, but also the ocean and could spend hours watching the waves on the Oregon coast and in Hawaii. You could always find her at Jack’s various music performances.

Mary is survived by her husband Jack, her daughter Patricia (Mark), her sons Dennis (Molly), Michael, Scott (Marilyn), her grandchildren Lisa (Ben), Jason, Connor, Rye, Ashlynn, Amanda, Jessica and Tyler, her brother Jim (Diana), along with beloved nephews, nieces, and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Rita.

A rosary will be held for Mary at Allnutt Funeral Home in Estes Park on Friday, September 17 at 2:00 p.m. A celebration of life service to honor Mary will be held at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church on Saturday, September 18 at 11:00 a.m.

Memorial gifts may be sent to Crossroads Ministry and Healing Waters of Estes Park.

Paul Romig (“Pastor Paul”) Paul Ralph Romig (“Pastor Paul”), age 76, went to be with Jesus on Wednesday, September 1, 2021. Paul had been recovering from Covid, but the Lord had other plans. On October 28, 1944, Paul was born in Denver, CO, to Marjorie Sahm and William Romig.

He grew up in Virginia with a couple of years in Costa Rica in the early 1950s.

Paul graduated from Virginia Tech (“Go Hokies!”) with a degree in Political Science and the University of Virginia with a Masters of Elementary Education. He started his career in Northern Virginia as an elementary school teacher. Paul served in a thirteen-year-long principalship in the mid-’70s through much of the ’80s. During this time, he met a beautiful kindergarten teacher, Ellen Schaffer. Paul loved Ellen’s laughter, outgoing personality, and her daughter, Christy.

Paul and Ellen were married on June 28, 1975, and Paul adopted Christy.

Their family began to grow with the births of four sons: Timothy, Matthew, Nathanael, and Jonathan. The Lord used a challenging season to teach Paul he could not control life. He read the Bible and came to faith in Christ on March 28, 1987. The following year God called his family to move to Estes Park to care for his recently widowed mom.

The Romig family began attending First Baptist Church (later renamed Mountain View Bible Fellowship), where Paul served as the Custodian, Children’s Pastor, and Associate Pastor for a total of 27 years. Paul later served Rocky Church as a greeter and Elder.

In retirement, Paul enjoyed spending time with and supporting his children in their various activities and accom-

plishments. He loved working out with Nathanael, driving the Green Jeeps in Rocky Mountain National Park, walking his dog CB, studying his Bible deeply, and loving Ellen and his 17 grandchildren and greatgrandchildren dearly.

Paul is preceded in death by his parents William and Marjorie Romig, his brother William “Bill” Romig, and his dogs Webster, Clancy, Pepper, Sophie, Kaylie, Taffy, and Brandy.

Paul leaves behind Ellen, of Estes Park, Co., his beautiful bride of 46 years; his beloved daughter Christy Hamby, of Warrenton, Va.; his four boys he is so proud of, Timothy and his wife Joy of Wyoming; Matthew and Heather of Berthoud, Co.; Nathanael and Kylie of Estes Park, Co.; and Rev. Jonathan and Monica of Chelmsford, Ma.; his precious grandchildren Aaron, Kara, William, Mary Elizabeth, Maggie, Katie, Raymond, Richard, CeCe, Theodore, Heidi, Marilla, Hannah, Elijah, and Evangeline, and wonderful great-grandchildren, Kaden and Kalani. His family misses him greatly but rejoices he is enjoying Jesus forevermore.

Rocky Mountain Evangelical Free Church (451 Promontory Dr., Estes Park) held a celebration of life service at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, September 6th, Labor Day. In lieu of financial donations to the family, donations can be given to Rocky’s children’s ministry. Please make checks to “Rocky Mountain Church” with the memo “Rocky Kidz Ministry” (address above) or donate online: rockymountainchurch.com/give.

Tom Gootz Tom Gootz 68, passed away peacefully at his home in Estes Park on September 8, 2021, where he resided since 2010. Tom was born to Eleanor (Kells) and Donald Gootz on December 6, 1951 in Albany, New York. Tom received his Bachelor of Science degree from The State University of New York at Albany. He earned his Ph. D. in medical microbiology from Creighton University in 1981. After completing post doctoral studies at the University of Washington, Tom joined the Anti-infective research Division of Pfizer Pharmaceuticals in Groton, Connecticut where he worked as a discovery scientist for 27 years. He had over 100 peer reviewed publications and presentations and was an established research scientist in the field of antimicrobial research, with several patents. He served on the editorial board for the journal “Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy.” During this time, he used his scientific training to study the natural world and became involved in open space preservation.

He served as President of the Deep River Land Trust in Connecticut for six years. He was a director of the Association for Responsible Development in

Estes Park, where he tried to advocate for a balance between development and the preservation of undeveloped areas for the benefit of people and wildlife.

Tom was also an avid golfer, interested in nature photography from his travels around the world, and used his images to teach about wildlife preservation in his writings and lectures. Tom spent considerable time over his career reading and learning about the natural world and was deeply committed to teaching others about wildlife and wild places, particularly regarding the threats to our environment coming from climate change. In 2014 Tom published a book with the Friends of the Estes Park Museum, entitled “Transformation in Rocky Mountain National Park: Effects of Climate Change and Human Intervention.” The book covered issues of local interest regarding the ecology of Rocky Mountain National Park. Tom’s death was preceded by those of his parents and brother, Victor Gootz of Nassau, NY. He is survived by his friend Irrina Johnson, sister-in-law Patricia Gootz of Nassau, NY, several cousins, and his former wife Maureen Gootz of Estes Park.
