You can make a significant difference right out of the gate in 2019 by donating blood. Estes Park Health and Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVRPD) have partnered together to give you an opportunity to be a community hero. Blood supply continues to remain at critically low across Colorado. 5 Reasons to Donate Blood 1. Every 3 seconds someone needs blood. An average of 40,000 units of blood are needed every day in the U.S. 2. 20% of blood recipients are children. 3. Giving blood is easy. It will only take 40-45 minutes. 4. You can save two lives. Your single donation has the possibility to save three recipients. 5. You can help people in your home town. Blood donated will be used in Northern Colorado. The January 14 Blood Drive will be in the community rooms at the Estes Valley Community Center from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The UCHealth Garth Englund Blood Center will be overseeing and handling the donation process. The Estes Valley Community Center provides 1,800 square feet of space for the blood drive, ample parking and easy access for donors. To donate, a person must be at least 18 years old (or 17 with a parent’s permission) and show a photo identification. New donors must weigh at least 120 pounds and be in good health. Prior donors must weigh at least 110 pounds. You can use this link to sign up for a donation time: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0548a4a82fa1fc1estes2 You can also call Garth Englund Blood Center at 970-495-8965, or visit Estes Park Health’s Facebook Event page and use the link to set your appointment. Process for donating blood The donation process takes 30-45 minutes. This includes the time needed to fill out health history and consent forms. The actual drawing of blood – a pint – takes five to 10 minutes. Before you go to the Community

Center, please make sure you’ve eaten something. When you enter the donation site, staff members will guide you through the process and answer your questions. If at any time during the donation process you feel light-headed, please tell a staff member. The entire process takes about 45 minutes. This includes time to complete your health history and sign consent forms. Among the questions for your health history, you will be asked about medicines that you take. Most medicines are okay. You will also be asked about behavior

that is considered a risk for HIV or hepatitis exposure. The rest of the process includes having your temperature and blood pressure taken, and a finger-stick test called hematocrit that checks your volume of red blood cells. Your arm is cleaned with a sterile disinfectant swab. A needle is inserted into a vein on the inside of your elbow. The actual blood withdrawal takes five to 10 minutes. When you are done, a wrap is put on your arm. There will be room for you to rest for a short time afterwards and enjoy a snack.

Kachina, Little Kitty, Parakeets And Larry Need New, Loving Homes

Do you have room in your home and your heart for a new pet? This week there are two beautiful kitties, some pretty parakeets and an adorable dog available for adoption. Kachina is a dilute tortie who is about three years old. She is very loyal and doesn't mind a busy household. She is fine with other cats and dogs but may like to keep all the attention to herself. She is very playful and adventurous. Little Kitty, aka, Emma, is about two years old. She is loving and friendly and good with other cats and friendly dogs (but we aren’t judging her for that). These cute cats are currently living at the Estes Park Pet Lodge at the Animal Medical Center on Manford Avenue. Stop down to meet her or call 586-9282 for more information. Larry is from Mexico and came to our country with a few other female dogs. He really likes the girls but needs a proper introduction to male dogs. He is about six years old and is mostly shy and submissive but if someone greets him in a friendly way, he wants to be their best friend. Larry is getting used to all kinds of new

Budgies

things so more exposure to things will be ideal for him. He is housetrained, good on a leash and has a fabulous smile. Five beautiful young budgies (parakeets) are also available for adoption. Cost to adopt them is just $25 and a cage is included. The budgies and Larry are currently liv-

Kachina

ing at the Animal Hospital of the Rockies, 453 Pine River Ln. Call (970) 586-4703 for more information or stop down to meet these cute little birds. Make sure to “Like” and follow the Estes Park Pet Association Facebook page to see other animals that may not be pictured this week. All pets are offered through the Pet Association of Estes Park, a non-profit organization that works to find homes for stray and abandoned pets, control dog and cat populations by funding sterilization programs, educate members of the community, especially young people, about the humane treatment of animals and the responsibilities of pet ownership; and promote community involvement in the use of pets as therapeutic agents (e.g., in nursing homes). The Estes Park Pet Association is your local humane society. You can make a tax-deductible donation to the Pet Association by sending your check to P.O. Box 4342, Estes Park, CO 80517. For more information, contact Carolyn Fairbanks, President of the Pet Association at (970) 586-5121.

In my world, one of the best little jolts of joy I get is that first hint of coffee that wafts under my nose in the morning. Like seeing the magnificent Continental Divide spread across the horizon as I drive over the hill and into Estes Park, I never, ever tire of it. Normally I make my own coffee as soon as I get up. I prepare it the night before so all I have to do is hit the on switch and within minutes I catch that initial toasty, roasty whiff. The rich, deep aroma warms me from the inside out even before I pour a cup and take a sip. I’m not waxing poetic when I say it almost makes my toes tingle. Drinking a full cup of coffee is nice, but the very first suggestion of java in the air and then the very first sip from the steaming cup are the best. That initial taste of browned-and-buttery-with-a-hint-ofsweet-and-bitter assures me that everything’s going to be ok. One morning at a time. What makes this little a.m. pleasure a luxury is when somebody else makes the coffee and I get to awaken to that luscious nutty bouquet filling the morning air. I experienced this while I was at my sister’s home in California for Christmas. My brother-in-law made coffee early each morning before the sun was up. Joy to the World! All I had to do was follow my nose, pad to the coffee maker and pour my cuppa. What a treat! This morning I received a wake-up call of a different sort, however. Over breakfast with friends I learned that not everyone shares my crush on coffee. Karen is repulsed by the smell and cannot tolerate even being near a coffee shop. These would be the very same coffee shops I am lured into by aromatic invitation. To make the situation worse, Karen’s husband Dan drinks coffee with every meal. Karen and Dan have been married for 50 years. Dan didn’t drink coffee much when the couple was married in 1969. But coworkers would bring goodies into work and he liked to have coffee to go with the sweets. Then he started buying coffee on his way to work. By 1983 Dan was percolating coffee at home. The smell was offensive to Karen. “I compare it to someone who smokes in the house. The odor permeates everything. So I asked him to make his coffee somewhere else.” Dan took his coffeemaker to the landing halfway downstairs. “I held my breath when I walked by,” Karen said.

When they moved, his coffee brewing got relegated all the way down to the basement. “I hate to admit it after all these years but I actually prefer it that way, ” Dan said. “It’s kind of my man cave down there. ” “I threaten her when she gets ornery, ” Dan said. “I tell her I’m going to move my coffee into the kitchen.” Fifty years these two have been married. They met in a non-Euclidean geometry class at Albany State. Their casual conversations in the bleachers at a baseball game include not only batting averages but binomial coefficients and Isaac Newton’s law of universal gravitation. And they’ve been this way for 50 years! Dan and Karen are planning to move into a one-level villa later this month. There is no basement; no man cave. What will Dan do? His plan is to brew his coffee in the storage room off the garage. When Dan told me his stratagem, Karen panicked. “Does it have a door [that you can close to keep the odor from drifting]?” she asked. Then she answered her own question: “It’s going to have a door!” But Dan’s new coffee corner/storage closet, on the other side of the garage, won’t have heat. “You’ll just have to hold your hands around the coffee pot,” Karen said without concern. How has this couple managed to remain married for 50 years? What kind of give and take has there been? Dan had to give up coffee in the kitchen, Karen said. And he brushes his teeth multiple times a day so he doesn’t have to sleep in the other room. On the other hand, Karen has put up with years of Dan’s banjo playing. (Me: “What’s the difference between a banjo and a HarleyDavidson?” Karen: “You can tune a Harley.”) Then again, Dan pointed out, Karen plays the bagpipes. (Me: “What’s the range of a bagpipe anyway?” Dan: “Twenty yards if you have a good arm.”) Again I ask, what is the secret to Dan and Karen’s successful marriage? In a household that has a coffee-drinking banjo player and a bagpiper with an overly sensitive sniffer, it can only be one thing: a sense of humor. You may let The Thunker know what you think at her e-mail address, donoholdt@gmail.com.

Mountain Shop Extends Thanks The Estes Park Mountain Shop would like to extend a heart-felt thank you to the community for their support of the Hoover family on December, 8. The many words of encouragement, messages of hope and financial support were a welcome bright light during this

challenging time, and the copious outpouring was much appreciated. We are constantly amazed at the generosity and selflessness of our neighbors, and it is truly an honor to be part of this community – thank you, again, from the bottom of our hearts!

Bestway Painting’s Paint And Stain Recycling Statistics For 2018 1700 Brodie Ave, Estes Park Across from High School football field

www.pccrusa.org Sunday Worship Service at 10:00am Communion served first Sunday of each month - open to all Join us for fellowship and refreshments before and after service each Sunday Children always welcome By: Timothy Stolz

Maybe, just maybe, we are beginning to get some control over the huge volume of unwanted paint and stain that exists in our community. Our free community recycling service started March 15, 2017. In 2017, our greater Estes Park area participants recycled 7,252 gallons or 63,820 pounds (32+ tons) of paint and stain. Our 2018 numbers are down from 2017. In 2018 our concerned citizens and businesses recycled another 6,136 gallons or 54,003 pounds (27 tons). That’s a total of 13,388 gallons; 117,823 pounds (just less than 59 tons) for our 21-month total. While we are not certain, the smaller

total for 2018 could be a function of less recyclable paint and stain in citizen storage in the just-completed year. We hope these data indicate that is the case, and we encourage everyone to empty your unwanted paint and stain stockpile with us. Remember, these are hazardous wastes. Never discard them in your sink or toilet! Fish and other wildlife will suffer! You may take advantage of this free service by calling Timothy Stolz 970518-4001 for pick-up. Small volume drop-off is available at our shop at 343 South Saint Vrain #12. Look for the signage. Just think, the planet we save could be ours!

Monthly Health and Wellness Classes using Essential Oils to be Offered in Estes Park New to the community, Rachel Talady of Rachel Talady Integrative Nutrition Health Coach LLC, is excited to reach out to the community of Estes Park and share her knowledge and love of essential oils. Rachel has been teaching essential oil classes and working with others who want to improve their health naturally for over two years. Essential oils are

becoming a norm in most households but people are still concerned about the safety, uses and options available. Rachel is teaching her first class on Immune and Respiratory Health on Monday, January 7th at 5:15 p.m. in Raven's Roast Coffee Shop, 157 W. Elkhorn Ave. Estes ParkThis first class will cover how to use essential oils to prevent colds and flu, help relieve congestion, respiratory issues and how to recover from these issues quickly without the side effects of over the counter medicines. She is also available to work with people one on one for those who are looking for a more personal consultation. Class topics will vary month to month and many classes will allow the opportunity to create an essential oil product to take home for a small fee. All classes are free and open to the public. Rachel says, "Essential oils have changed my life and the lives of so many others which is why I am passionate to share my knowledge with those who are open to natural solutions." Essential oils have been in use almost as long as the earliest recordings of human beings. The plant kingdom has provided powerful extracts and essences that have long been prized for their enhancement of beauty, medicinal, spiritual, aromatic and therapeutic value. They are the root of today's pharmaceuticals. Rachel has been studying herbs and nutrition for years and attended the Institute for Integrative Nutrition where she became a certified health coach before she decided to make her primary focus educating others on the benefits of essential oil usage. She also is taking new health coaching clients who are ready to make healthy changes to their lifestyle. If you would like more information about this topic, would like to schedule a private consultation, or would like information on Health Coaching with Rachel, please call Rachel Talady at 507450-7653, or email racheltalady@gmail.com.

Some articles are harder than others to write and those written for this time of year are usually among those. How many â€˜New Yearsâ€™ articles have been writtenâ€Śeach with the desire to motivate each reader to do something a little better than in the past. We call them â€˜resolutionsâ€™ and we usually see them as â€˜promisesâ€™ or â€˜determinationsâ€™ that we make that will change something about the way we live in coming months. Quite often these are centered around a desire to change some habit that we have acquired in the past: too much eating, too little exercise, too much time spent on social media, or the use of some substance. It seems to be the general consensus that such resolutions will be broken almost before they are made. So, what can I write that might challenge each of us to make some change for 2019 that will last longer than reading this article? A most-widely read and popular writer of recent times is Erma Bombeck. Her books and articles have touched countless lives. So what advice might Erma give us to help make 2019 a better year? I donâ€™t recall any that were focused on thatâ€Śhowever, there was one sharing that will, perhaps, stimulate us. It was written after Erma was diagnosed with cancer and learned that her death was imminent. As she looked back over her life she wrote an article entitled: â€œIf I Had My Life to Live Overâ€?. Perhaps her musings as she reviewed decisions she had made and her past life, will be helpful as we view our past years and make some determinations for the coming year. Hopefully, at the end of 2019 we wonâ€™t look back with some of the regrets that seemed to rest in her mind. So which of these can â€˜ring a bellâ€™ with you and make your life a little better as you live this New Year? Erma wrote: â€œIf I had my life to live over: â€˘ I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I werenâ€™t there for the day. â€˘ I would have burned the pink rose-sculpted candle before it melted in storage. â€˘ I would have talked less and listened more. â€˘ I would have invited friends over to dinner despite my stained carpet or faded sofa. â€˘ I would have eaten the popcorn in the â€˜goodâ€™ living room and worried less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace. â€˘ I would have taken time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth. â€˘ I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed. â€˘ I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains. â€˘ I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more watching life. â€˘ I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldnâ€™t show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime. â€˘ Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I would have cherished every moment, and realized that the wonderment growing inside of me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle. â€˘ When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, â€˜Later. Now go get washed up for dinner.â€™ â€˘ There would have been more â€˜I love youâ€™sâ€™. More â€˜Iâ€™m sorryâ€™sâ€™. â€˘ But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute, look at it and really see it, live it, and never give it back.â€? Thanks, Erma. Now letâ€™s have a great 2019! Bob

Estes Park Quota Club Foundation Ambulance Fund It is again time to rally together for a new ambulance for Estes Park Health, formerly Estes Park Medical Center, and the Emergency Medical Services Team (EMS). î ˘e entire community and all of our visitors count on an ambulance being available when there is a need. Did you know? â€˘ Five ambulances are in service at all times, answering calls that cover a 1000 square miles. î ˘e EMS answer calls from Allenspark, Big Elk Meadows, Estes Park, Glen Haven, Pinewood Springs, and Leî‚? Hand Fire District. â€˘ î ˘e budget for the ambulance maintenance alone is $52,000.00 annually. Two of the five, ambulances have over 200,000 miles on the odometer. â€˘ 31% of the ambulance calls are for transfer of patients to hospitals out of the Estes Park area. â€˘ î ˘e cost of a new fully equipped ambulance will be approximately $230,000.00. Unlike many places, our ambulances are not supported by tax dollars. î ˘e Department of Emergency Services, through Estes Park Health, purchases these ambulances with the help of community funds and money set aside by the medical center for capital purchases. î ˘is

year, Guy Beasley FP-C, Director of EMS has obtained a Grant for $86,000.00, toward the purchase of a new ambulance and the hospital will match that amount. î ˘e remainder of the funds for this project will need to come from private donations. It has always been the goal of the Estes Park Quota Club Foundation to keep our ambulance fleet strong and to help raise the additional funds needed for this endeavor. î ˘is is where we need your help! Please take a moment to donate to the "ESTES PARK QUOTA CLUB FOUNDATION AMBULANCE FUND" and mail it in the envelope provided. Donations to Estes Park Quota Club Ambulance Fund go directly toward the purchase of this 2019 ambulance. î ˘e Quota Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization, so your donation is tax deductible. Now is the time! Won't you please help us, help our Community?

The Estes Valley Democrats will hold their first meeting for 2019 on Monday, January 7, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. at the Libraryâ€™s Hondius Room. Our meetings are open to all Democrats and Unaffiliated voters interested in keeping informed. Plus if you are not registered to vote or need to update your registration, please come for information to help you through that process. The January meeting agenda will cover 2018 voting results in the 8 Estes Valley Precincts that encompass Estes Park addresses, Pinewood Springs (including Highway 36 canyon locations), Big Elk Meadows, Pole Hill locations, Drake (including Highway 34 canyon locations),

and Glen Haven. Nationwide turnout of all voters for this mid-term election was 47%, which seems low but which actually was a 50year high for mid-terms. Official 2018 results for Colorado statewide turnout was 66.06%, which placed us among the top states for 2018. Official turnout for Larimer County was 71.2%, and for our 8 Estes Valley Precincts turnout was an official average of 73.6% over all eligible voters and affiliations. We will discuss analyses showing our results by specific precinct and by affiliation. (Spoiler alert: you will see some amazingly high percentage turnouts in targeted affiliated groups in our Precincts thanks to the efforts of our many volunteers.) Also on the agenda will be a continuation of discussions from our November 18 post-election meeting concerning feedback from the 2018 campaign and planning for 2020. For more information, you may email Vicky Henry, Democratic PCP Coordinator, at DemsVHenry@yahoo.com.

Tucker joins us January 14 and 15, answering questions about wills, powers of attorney, revocable living trusts, and the probate system.

From sewing machines and 3D printers to the smartphones in our pockets, the Makerspace allows opportunities for the staff to help the community navigate the world of technology and creativity.

Clay Rose’s ability to tell stories that seamlessly cross genres from folk, to punk, to klezmer, to country has won him an array of awards. These include: Best Music Video at the Mile High Horror Film Festival 2012, for “Don’t Be Afraid; It’s Only Death” by The Widow’s Bane, Gasoline Lollipops’ Best Country Band Award, by Westword Magazine 2015 and 2018, as well as Colorado Daily’s Best Local Band award for 2015, 2016, and 2017. In 2017, Rose released two full length albums with Gasoline Lollipops, made his Red Rocks debut, completed an extensive tour through Belgium and the Netherlands, and was commissioned by Wonder Bound Ballet Company in Denver to write a full-length ballet using all original music written for his other band, The Widow’s Bane.

former, songwriter, teacher, recording artist, bandleader, live-looper, producer and educator with four solid decades of experience as a music industry professional. Based out of Lyons Colorado, Arthur Lee Land renders a modern eclectic fusion of electrified americana and acoustic driven roots rock. At the heart of “Arthur Lee Land" is the creative songwriting collaboration of Arthur and his non-performing lyricist and wife Carol Lee. Arthur has developed, curated and hosted the Kinfolk Revival Workshop stage, beginning in 2015, at the Northwest String Summit outside Portland, Oregon, where you can find him ecstatically collaborating with many of the countries finest musicians. Arthur was musical director for legendary folk-rock icon Donovan in a special performance on his Sunshine Superman 50th Anniversary Tour featuring members of Elephant Revival and Railroad Earth. Using his lifetime of talent, he was honored to be the musical director for a Grateful Dead Tribute at Red Rocks Amphitheater, highlighting over 20 Colorado artists including his Trio for Film On The Rocks in 2016 In the fall of 2014 Arthur joined Great American Taxi, a Colorado Jam band with a long history. Tim Carbone of Railroad Earth produced the band’s latest album, Dr. Feelgood's Traveling Medicine Show, released in February 2017 with five songs penned by Carol Lee and Arthur. Arthur Lee Land has been a much loved staff member as the guitar instructor at the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Song School on Planet Bluegrass in Lyons, CO since 2003. "There's an element to songwriting that I can't explain...that dividing line between

nothing and something that happens within a song, where you have absolutely nothing, and then suddenly you have something. It's like the origin of the universe." –Nick Cave Cost: $185 Workshops (two full days) & ticket to Listening Room Performance by Clay Rose & Esme Patterson Lodging, Continental breakfast included. • $100 two nights lodging in a double queen/dbl occupancy.

Annika Throne 12th Grade Congratulations to Annika Throne, the Estes Park News Student of the Week for January 4, 2019. At Estes Park High School, Annika enjoys being a part of the choir and Major 13. She is Vice President of the Thespian Society and enjoys performing in musicals and plays. She is a proud member of the National Honor Society and maintains a 4.09 GPA and tells us she has gotten straight Aâ€™s her whole life. She has earned three letters in academics and choir and one letter for cheerleading of which she said, â€œFrom when I used to be athletic.â€? Outside of school she loves traveling the world, consuming enough coffee in a week to fill a pool, service work and obsessing over Penn State football. Annika wears Birkenstocks in all weather and considers herself to be a professional avocado critic.

Annikaâ€™s favorite quote is â€œKindness is a language that the deaf can hear and the blind can seeâ€? by Mark Twain. She loves this quote because she believes that love and kindness never go unnoticed and they can makes a change in the world. After high school she plans to attend Penn State University and major in international studies with a focus in non-profit management.

Bank of Estes Park Student Legacy Award: In addition to being awarded the Student of the Week, each winner will be given the opportunity to nominate the school program of their choice for the chance to win $500. At the end of the school year, one such nomination will be randomly selected, and that school program will be awarded the $500 Bank of Estes Park Student Legacy Award, in that student's name.

Natural Dreamwork Workshop January 11 Who Are Those Guys? “That Curious Sometimes Crazy Cast of Characters Who Come to Us Every Night in Our Dreams” Join Natural Dreamwork Practitioner, Mary Jo Heyen, for a workshop exploring the many characters who come to us each night in our dreams. The workshop will take place Friday, January 11th from 10:00 a.m. 12:00 p.m. at the Estes Valley Community Center. Using her dream primer, “Who Are Those Guys?” as a guide, participants will explore their own dreams (bring along one-two written dreams) as they learn some helpful techniques for discovering who these curious dream characters might be and more importantly, what it is they want to for us to know about them and about ourselves.

Mountain Brokers

Advanced registration is required by calling the Community Center at 970586-8191. The workshop materials fee of $10.00 includes a copy of “Who Are Those Guys?” and can be paid by cash or check to Mary Jo the day of the workshop. Contact Mary Jo with questions and more information at mjheyen@gmail.com or www.maryjoheyen.com. Editorial Review for “Who Are Those Guys?” “Mary Jo Heyen is on a remarkably honest spiritual journey. She knows for herself the high places and the low, so that when she speaks of dreams it is not from books but her own personal experience. Her writing is clear and her teaching is valuable. Treat yourself to this sweet treatise on dreams.” -Rodger Kamenetz , author of “The History of Last Night's Dream” and the international bestseller “The Jew in The Lotus.”

CMS Planning And Development To The Editor The Town Trustees and County Commissions are beginning discussions about whether or not to continue the joint Estes Valley Planning Area. This is a decision which will affect the lives of everyone in the Estes valley for the next 20 years, so it is important for all citizens to pay attention and let our opinions be heard by our elected officials. The current Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA), which created the valley-wide Estes Valley Planning Area over twenty years ago, expires in a little over a year. Meanwhile, the community is starting the process of crafting a new Comprehensive Plan for the Estes Valley. It makes sense for the trustees and commissioners to decide whether to continue with a valley-wide planning area, or go back to separate Town and County jurisdictions, before we proceed with a Comprehensive Plan for our future. If our elected representatives decide to extend the existing IGA, we will continue to treat the entire Estes Valley as the area to be included in planning for the economy, housing, development, open space, recreation, and transportation. We have continued to expand valley-wide services in our community, including education, fire protection, utilities, the hospital, library services, recreation and parks, child services, victim advocates, open space preservation, and environmental stewardship. The County and Town have numerous IGAs

and Mutual Aid agreements in place, including for cooperative police services. If they decide to go back to two planning areas, we will be preparing a Comprehensive Plan for the area within Town of Estes Park town limits, not the entire valley. They will be creating an Estes Park Planning Commission, which will not review development plans outside of town limits. Given the current level of valley-wide services and governance, it seems very regressive to go back to separate planning areas. There is very little undeveloped land left in the Estes Valley. This puts tremendous pressure on future development, and almost every proposal is controversial. It is difficult for the citizens of both the County and Town, and all of the elected and appointed officials and the Town and County staff. There is no changing this situation, and all we can do is manage it as best we can. The Comprehensive Plan is the vehicle we rely on to guide us through these issues in a positive and proactive way. We should be inclusive in our planning approach by continuing with an IGA for a valley-wide Comprehensive Plan and keep the joint Estes Valley Planning Area. I am a member of the Estes Valley Planning Commission, but these are my private, personal, and professional views, not those of the Planning Commission. Sincerely, Frank Theis

Team Small But Mighty Thanks All For Support Of Team & ACS Dear Editor, “Team Small But Mighty” of the 2018 ACS Relay for Life would like to thank everyone who participated in this year’s Relay - especially the wonderful generous people who contributed to “Team Small But Mighty’s” success.

Wayne’s Wisdoms Here are some things I have found to be true in my 77 years on this planet. Some are original, some borrowed from others. Most are meant to help maintain one's sanity. • I will live until I die. • You have to value someone's opinion before you get upset over it. • Life is what happens from your birth to your death, regardless of your plans. • There is no Heaven or Hell, this life is hell and how you deal with it determines whether you have some heavenly times. • You are known by the company you keep. • You are in charge of your own happiness. • Life is worth living if you see it that way! • All of life is cyclical. When you are having bad times, you know that the good times are around the corner. • A happy wife is a happy life. • When confronted with obstacles and plans gone astray, fall back and accept that things happen the way they are supposed to. • Life is great if you don't weaken. • Love transcends all other emotions. • Think with your head, not with your heart. • Base your opinions on truth, not heresy. • Most people can count their true friends without taking their shoes off. • Heed history and you'll see the future. • Fearful people can be manipulated

easily. • I'd rather deal with an intelligent, motivated individual than an educated, lazy, entitled buffoon. • Give me someone with common sense and I'll teach them the rest. • It's easier to be happy with money in your pocket. • Sperm and egg unite and you have a miracle. • Old wives tale: if a new baby has a strong suck, they have a good brain. • Life is attitude, commitment and communication. How you feel when you get up in the morning sets your attitude for the day. If you make a commitment to accomplish something, you will. Good, honest, sincere conversation earns you good, honest, sincere conversation in response. • What goes around, comes around. I've lived long enough to witness this truth. Goodness begets goodness, badness returns badness. • Show me the one in charge of a company and I'll show you how good that company is. • Maturity is taking responsibility for one's action. Age has nothing to do with it. • Experience what you can while you can. • Love your neighbor, he might own your mineral rights. Wouldn't it be great if we all loved one another? On second thought, it would be boring. Here's to boring days - love, peace and prosperity!

A Few Last Recycling Thoughts For 2018 By: Judi Smith

Waste haulers pick-up two kinds of trash in the Estes Valley, garbage and single-stream recycling. Service is available either curbside or at the Transfer Station. The garbage, for a fee, goes to the Larimer County Landfill, which is expected to expire in 2025. Haulers pay an equivalent fee for single-stream recyclables. Materials collected in singlestream recycling must eventually go to a Material Recovery Facility (MRF). MRFs take in single stream recyclables, sort them using an electronic conveyor belt system, and sell them to remanufacturers who sell their finished product to a plant or artist creating new products. By making use of these leftovers, this cyclical system diminishes the amount of raw materials which must be taken from the Earth. Source-separated collections bypass the MRF sorting equipment and often go directly to the remanufacturer. This is true of both the office paper bin at the local Transfer Station and of the Clear Intentions Glass recycling in the parking lot for the Estes Park Event Center. MRF sorting apparatus often has limitations as to size, shape or color, resulting in a confusing labyrinth of what is “recyclable.” What is recyclable in one location may not be in another. This means the rules at the Larimer County Recy-

cling in Fort Collins may be different from the Estes Park Transfer Station, also run by Larimer County, which will also differ from Loveland Recycling, Timberline Recycling (Fort Collins), and Ecocycle (Boulder County Recycling). It is easy to say something is, or isn’t, “recyclable,” but the actual use of that term may depend upon either recent developments, or simply the MRF used by the recycling yard. The single-stream system means one bucket for all acceptable recyclables, but requires more knowledge on behalf of the customer. More and more haulers are turning to multi-stream recycling because unknowledgeable individuals contaminate single-stream with items the MRF does not accept. For example; at our local Transfer Station, which is run for Larimer County by Waste Management, they accept plastics #1-#7, but currently only recycle #1, 2, 4, and 5 and these must be shaped like bottles, jars, jugs, tubs or clamshells. Other plastic items, such as toys, styrofoam blocks (not cups or peanuts), flatware, laundry baskets, toothbrushes, etc. can be recycled at other venues, or, even better, offered for reuse through the thrift shops. The world wide Paris Accord on climate change was initiated by the United States in 2015. The United States left the Paris Accord in 2017, citing among other reasons, concerns that China was not doing enough. In an effort to reduce their greenhouse gases, China dropped the contamination point on acceptable recyclables from 50% to ½%. U.S. waste collection companies and MRFs were left without the usual avenues for disposal and are just now finding domestic alternatives. However, as these opportunities are located, our recycling prospects can only improve. Use RRRcyc2se@gmail.com to contact me directly. The next Community Recycling meeting is January 2nd (10 a.m. Estes Valley Library, Wasson Room). The next meeting of the League of Women Voters is January 23rd (10 a.m. Estes Valley Library, Hondius Room).

Mary Kathryn “Kay’ Leili December 9, 1931December 13, 2018 Mary Kathryn "Kay" (Begey) (Cribari) Leili departed from this world on December 13, 2018 at home and surrounded by loved ones. She was a remarkable woman. She was loved, and is deeply missed. She made a rich and significant impact on the world. Mom, Grandma Kay, Aunt Kay, (mostly just Kay), was a force of nature. She has been compared to a hummingbird: a small and powerful woman, always in constant motion. Kay's story began in Parsons, Kansas where she was born on December 9, 1931 to her parents, Frances and Maxine Begey. She was the third of four children, predeceased by a brother, Ken Begey and a sister, Jean Dearing. Her youngest brother, Greg Begey lives in Joplin, MO. After high school, Kay went to nursing school where she earned her RN degree. She then moved to Denver, Colorado and worked in various hospitals in the area. She met Charles "Charlie" Cribari in Denver and the two married after a whirlwind romance. Charlie and Kay then moved to Pueblo, Colorado where they worked and raised a family of ten children. Kay was a hard worker who held high standards for a job well done. She could bake like no other. Her pies were especially renowned. Additional guests somehow found their way to Kay's large table — especially when she made her famous fried chicken or meatballs. No matter what, she always made room. She gardened all summer and canned all fall. Kay almost never sat down. She had more energy than any ten people, orchestrating the family activities, cooking, cleaning, sewing and providing for her large

family. Kay moved to Estes Park after Charlie passed away after 32 years of marriage. She loved fishing, the mountains and fishing in the mountains. Estes Park provided these in spades. In Estes Park, Kay continued nursing and fishing, surrounded by wildlife in the grandeur of Rocky Mountain National Park and the Big Thompson River. Her home was rarely quiet or empty, often filled with at least a few of her children and 13 grandchildren. Kay met and married Rudy Leili in Estes Park. They traveled, lived in the mountains, and enjoyed family and friends throughout their 27 years together. Kay and Rudy lived in Hahns Peak, Loveland, and Fort Collins, Colorado before returning to Estes Park. Kay leaves a significant legacy of children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, friends, neighbors and patients. She will be greatly missed by her husband Rudy, all of her children Christine (Kenneth) Wilson, Catherine Cribari, Francine (Edward) Adams, Charles Cribari, Regina Murray, Mary Girodo, Pueblo, Colorado, John (Christine) Cribari, Julieann Cribari, Karen Cribari, Karla (Robert Root) Cribari, two step children, Mark (Deborah) Leili and Doreen (Mark) Glorioso, 13 grandchildren, five step grandchildren, and 21 great-grandchildren. There will be no formal memorial service. Instead, it was Kay's wish that family and friends would take time to connect and remember her with stories about her life. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to a local charity that is meaningful to you, to the American Cancer Society, to the Estes Park Hospice, or to your local hospice organization.

Janis Mae Lindsay Estes Park resident Janis Mae “Jan” Lindsay, beloved wife, mother, and friend, died December 24, 2018 in Loveland, CO. Janis Mae White was born, raised, graduated from high school, and married in Kansas. She completed two years of her college education at Colorado Women’s College (CWC) in Denver, CO, and two years at Kansas State University (K State) in Manhattan, KS, earning an undergraduate degree in Home Economics. She was a proud and loyal member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority at K State, and of PEO in her later Denver years. Jan taught junior high Home Economics for several years, but elected to concentrate on being a wonderful wife and mother, rather than pursuing a full time career as a teacher. She excelled at playing the marimba, a talent she demonstrated to win the titles of Miss CWC and Miss K State in the late 1950s. She was the first runner up in the 1959 Miss Kansas Pageant. Jan had the opportunity to showcase her marimba talents for a variety of audiences including a performance for President and Mrs. Eisenhower when Ike was hospitalized in Denver in the late 1950s. She played “Home on the Range” for Ike, who was from Kansas, and “Ave Maria” for Mamie. Jan excelled as a junior high girls Home Economics teacher, particularly with students that may have been behind academically. She received high praise from moth-

ers whose daughters really enjoyed, as well as responded to, her teaching style and methods. She loved making friends. Jan was a friend to a wide range of people. She had a special talent for learning the needs and interests of the people around her and made a genuine effort to respond in kind. Few could resist her efforts to become their friend. Most importantly, Jan concentrated on being the best wife and mother she could be. It was in these endeavors, that she succeeded beyond belief. Jan is preceded in death by her parents Hugh and Gladys White, and by her brother and sister David and Sharon White. She is survived by her husband of 58 years Pete Lindsay, by her brother Myron White, by her children Mark Lindsay and Charlotte Maybury, and by her grandchildren Melody and Christopher Lindsay. Remembrances and open houses in honor of Jan’s life will be held Sunday, January 13, 2019 at the Lindsay’s home in Estes Park at 931 Old Ranger Drive from 2:00-4:00 p.m.; and on Sunday, January 20, 2019 at Charlotte’s home in Golden at 1151 Ninth Street from 3:00- 6:00 p.m. Donations may be made in her name to the Estes Park Health Foundation (Estes Park Medical Center Foundation) at www.eph.org or in care of Alluntt Funeral Service at 1302 Graves Ave, Estes Park, CO 80517. Please visit www.allnutt.com to leave a message for the family.

Maureen J. Garrity Maureen J. Garrity, Ph.D, 70, passed away surrounded by friends, on Sunday, December 23, following a long and courageous fight with breast cancer. She was born June 23, 1948, in Bakersfield, CA, the daughter of Joan and William Garrity. Throughout her career, Dean Garrity was an exemplar of professionalism with a long-standing record of dedication to the well-being of students. For her efforts, she has been recognized at the CU School of Medicine with various awards, including the Chancellor’s Teaching Recognition award in 2013, the Faculty Professionalism Award in 2016, and nationally with the 2014 Association of American Medical Collages (AAMC) Group on Student Affairs (GSA) Exemplary Service Award. She was particularly impactful in supporting student-led programs on social determinants of health, leadership and community service. In 2016, honoring her longtime commitment to the University of Colorado School of Medicine and its medical students, the Maureen Garrity, Ph.D Endowed Scholarship Fund was established. After retiring in 2017, students gathered to pay tribute to her by showcasing numerous programs that would not have occurred without Dean Garrity’s vision and encouragement. Maureen was active with the AAMC/GSA for a number of years, serving as Western representative to the Committee on Student Affairs, and then as its chair, and was National Chair of the AAMC Group on Student Affairs from 2010-2011. Maureen’s impact on students, faculty, staff and colleagues across the country was truly amazing and leaves an immeasurable legacy of educators, physicians, leaders and friends. Maureen received her Ph.D in Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin with an emphasis in Physiologi-

cal Psychology. She did her postdoctoral training in Endocrinology and Metabolism at the University of Washington, Seattle, and subsequently joined the faculty in the Department of Medicine. In 1983, she came to the University of Colorado. After suffering a recurrence of cancer in September of 2016, she retired after 34 years at the University in March of 2017, and moved to Estes Park, CO, where she was able to explore her love for cooking, sewing, quilting and photography. An ardent traveler, Maureen and her partner, Nan Ryan, made two trips to New Zealand, two to Switzerland, one to South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana, and Ireland and Costa Rica, plus many trips to her beloved Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, Seattle and Oregon. Maureen helped to establish the Nan Ryan Invitational in Estes Park in 2004, a golf tournament with proceeds going to the Estes Park Junior Golf Program. For 16 years she was a yearround volunteer for the Pepsi Little People’s Golf Championships in Quincy, IL, an international junior golf tournament, and was awarded its Volunteer-of-the-Year Award for her long service in 2017. She is survived by her partner of 16 years, Nan Ryan, her sister and brother-in-law, Annette and Kent Gruber, her cats Sterling and Taz, several siblings, an aunt, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins. Celebrations of her Life will be held in Denver, Estes Park and Quincy, IL, later in 2019. Memorials may be made to the University of Colorado Maureen Garrity Endowed Scholarship Fund at giving.cu.edu/GarrityScholarship, or to the Maureen Garrity/Little People’s Scholarship Fund, c/o Mary Jo Hunt, 2030 Lind, Quincy, IL 62301.
