Protecting Our Extraordinary Environment The official mission of the Town of Estes Park is “to provide high-quality, reliable services for the benefit of our citizens, guests and employees, while being good stewards of public resources and our natural setting.� Protecting our natural environment is something Town staff does on a regular basis.

Sometimes it’s obvious and sometimes it’s subtle. Whether you call it “Resiliency,� “Stewardship,� “Sustainability,� “Environmentalism,� “Conservation,� or “Wise Use,� the story is the same -we want to protect the land and environment we live in.

Here are some of the highlights, both large and small, of the Town of Estes Park’s commitment to “being good stewards of public resources and our natural setting.�

Community Planning The draft Downtown Plan includes emphasis on a walkable and pedestrian-friendly community.

Working with the Estes Valley Master Trails Plan, our recent road projects, including Dry Gulch Road, MacGregor Avenue and next year Brodie Avenue, and the future Downtown Loop integrate sidewalks and bikeways.

The Town Board has identified trail connectivity and inclusion of bike/pedestrian lanes as specific goals in its Strategic Plan. And, 2019 will be the 13th year we provide free seasonal shuttles.

Energy Conservation The Town of Estes Park is the only municipal partner in Platte River Power Authority to commit to 100 percent wind power in all our buildings. We have installed two electric vehicle charging stations in the Town Hall parking lot and will be installing four more in the new parking structure. We have applied for grants to purchase allelectric trolleys to serve the downtown area in the future. We have switched out all street lighting and holiday lighting to energy conserving LED lights.

Working with PRPA we are developing 7,500 copies distr distributed t ibuted FREE every tr r Fr ry F Friday iday to hundreds of Estes Valley locations including Allenspark and Glen Haven.

Daily News Headlines at www.epnews.com We are coming to the end of October, or as those of you who studied Latin in high school remember it abbreviated “Octo.”

What!!! You didn’t study Latin in high school? Or anywhere else? Lucky you!

Yours Truly had to endure it every year, or so he thinks he remembers. And French went along with it! Quel dommage!

Hmmm, you probably wonder if it was in an American high school. Well, it was not just an American high school. Yours Truly attended the oldest --- it was the first --- American public high school.

(Does that give you some idea how long I have been gone from what we living there called the hub of the universe?) Place?

Boston, Mass. Name: English High School. Yep! You can look it up on Google. The school opened in 1821.

Hmmm, I wonder if I had some of the same teachers who were there at its opening. Nawww! I wonder if the school still exists. It has been a long time.

But this is supposed to be a column about people and events in October. So where do we start? Remember . .. but decreasingly those of us alive do . .. a feller named Henry Ford. He introduced his Model T (named after himself of course) the first of this month back in 1908. But that was twentieth century! How ‘bout before then? And how far back should we go in October?

Well, most every school child could tell us that on October 12 way back in 1492 some feller named Columbus set foot on land in the Bahamas. Come up just 300 years from that and we have George Washington laying a cornerstone at what was figured to be 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for a building which when erected would be called the Presidential Palace.

Thank goodness that name didn’t become official.

It was on October first 1979 that the United States, after occupying the Panama Canal Zone for seventy years, handed the area back to Panama. Well, these will all be October so we don’t need to spend space with the particular date. Let’s talk people! The woman who was born on the 11th (in 1884) and would come to be referred to as “First Lady of the World” was the spouse of our 32nd President, and she outshined the man. Eleanor Roosevelt lived until 1962.

The first full length movie with speaking made its appearance on the 6th, and starred Al Jolson. The year? 1927. Go back another fifty years and on the 5th Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce Indians surrendered to U.S. cavalry in Montana after having led his people into a retreat of 1700 miles. Still jumping around – nothing sacred about doing this chronologically – back on the 8th in 1846 an inventor and engineer George Westinghouse produced the first air brakes for trains.

As I recall(?) we had two Presidents born

in October. Born in Delaware (the city in Ohio, not the state) on the first of the month in 1822, Rutherford Hayes would become our 19th chief executive. Born on the fifth in 1830 in Fairfield, Vermont Chester Arthur would become our 21st following the assassination of President Garfield. We don’t remember the name Mary Ludwig. Could it have been her married name? We do have record of her as born in 1754 --- Molly Pitcher. Doesn’t everyone remember that name?

The next time you look at your watch or a clock while traveling --- although you don’t have to travel anywhere --- think how nice it is that thanks to the folks in Greenwich, England. In October 1884 they gave the world universal time. Made life much easier for world travelers, not to mention the rest of us. And how ‘bout a plus and a minus for October 19th! On that date in 1781 7,000 English and German troops surrendered to General George Washington at the battle of Yorktown. But jump way ahead to 1987 and on a day which came to be called “Black Monday” the stock market suffered the greatest drop in its history.

The 20th is, for 1818, a date to remember.

On that day the settlement of one of the longest boundaries in the world took place when the border between the United States and Canada was agreed upon as the 49th parallel --- peacefully! For some things we don’t really need dates.

“October” is good enough. Noah Webster, born in October 1758 in West Hartford, Connecticut, gave us the first American dictionary of the English language.

General Horatio Gates on 17 October 1777 at the battle of Saratoga gave the American colonies their first big military victory. It was on October 19 four years later that 7,000 English and German troops surrendered to General George Washington at the battle of Yorktown.

And we can carry that date of the 19th to something entirely different in 1987 when Wall Street experienced the greatest one day drop in stock market history – what is known as Black Monday.

October 20, 1973 may be a date you remember. No? Well, try this: Watergate!

Hanky panky in President Richard Nixon’s White House. Nixon fired Special Prosecutor and Deputy Attorney General Elliot Richardson, but the latter beat him to the punch and first resigned. If we move to the 21st and go back to 1879 we have something very favorable. Edison Electric experimented with an incandescent lamp which stayed lit for 13 hours. Pardon my French, but voila there we got the light bulb we have been burning ever since.

But, before my light burns out I’d better bring this column to a close.

Police encourage safe disposal of unwanted prescription and over-thecounter drugs This Saturday, Oct. 28, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. the Town of Estes Park Police Dept. will offer Estes Park's Drug Take Back Day to collect unused, unwanted and expired prescription and over-thecounter drugs for safe disposal - no questions asked. This free service will be held at Rocky Mountain Pharmacy, located at 455 East Wonderview Ave. in Upper Stanley Village. Police officers will collect the drugs, which will remain in the custody of law enforcement officers until they can be incinerated.

Estes Park's Drug Take Back Day is part of the Drug Enforcement Administration's national campaign to provide a safe way for people to empty their medicine cabinets of unwanted and potentially harmful prescription drugs. To find participating collection sites in other communities, visit www.dea.gov.

Misused and abused prescription drugs

containing controlled substances can lead to cases of accidental poisoning, overdose and addiction. The most recent National Survey on Drug Use and Health indicates that prescription medicines are the most abused drugs by Americans, next to marijuana. Seven of the 10 drugs most commonly abused by teenagers are prescription medicines and three quarters of teen prescription drug abusers obtain the drugs from family and friends - often from a home medicine cabinet.

Ridding homes of these substances greatly reduces the potential for abuse and accidental poisoning.

Items which cannot be accepted at the Drug Take Back Day collection sites are needles and sharps, mercury thermometers, oxygen containers, chemotherapy/radioactive substances, pressurized canisters and illicit drugs.

For more information, please contact Officer Gregg Filsinger of the Estes Park Police Department at 970-577-3868 or at 970-586-4000.

Reminder: Conversations On Downtown Parking Management Continue Oct. 26 Feedback needed on future parking expansion and potential structures Help shape Estes Park’s Downtown Parking Management Plan at a presentation and open house Thursday, Oct. 26, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The open house begins with a presentation at 5:30 p.m. and will take place in the Town Board Room in Town Hall, 170 MacGregor Ave. The primary purpose is for community members to learn and provide feedback on parking expansion and potential future parking structure locations. All community members, business owners and other stakeholders are encouraged to attend, learn about the process and share their ideas. For more information, visit the project website at www.estesdowntownplan.com/parking.

The open house is designed to be interactive and engaging. Attendees may participate in discussions about the pros and cons of funding options for parking expansion as well as an evaluation process for selecting proposed sites. The

input provided during this event is another critical piece in the planning process to establish a long-term vision for the future of downtown parking.

When complete, the Estes Park Downtown Parking Management Plan will be used to guide future downtown parking development. Increased population and increasing competition for destination visitors create a new set of challenges for downtown parking. The Downtown Parking Management Plan is anticipated to be completed in late 2017 and will include an implementation strategy for achieving the plan’s vision.

For additional information, please visit the project website at www.estesdowntownplan.com.

A Community At Risk: A Discussion Of Estes Valley Housing Needs Sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Estes Park and the Economic Development Corporation of Estes Park A sustainable community, most would agree, is one in which citizens of all ages have ready access to the goods and services necessary to maintain and improve its quality of life. By this definition, a community in which a large portion of those who supply its most essential services are forced to commute long distances is clearly a community at risk. Yet because of the lack of housing this is precisely the situation faced each day by a significant number of our teachers, our hospital and EMT staff, our police and firefighters, our librarians and other workers. In addition, more jobs are being left unfilled, and each year the situation gets demonstrably worse.

What is the current and projected dimension and impact of this problem upon on those directly responsible for delivering the services essential to sustaining the quality of life we enjoy in the Estes Valley? What are the major barriers and opportunities? What role can concerned citizens play in helping to address the problem? Please join us for this discussion sponsored by the Estes Park League of Women Voters and the Estes Park Economic Development Corporation and facilitated by those best in a position to tell us. The event will be held at the YMCA of the Rockies on November 8th from 6:00 – 8:00 p. m. in the Willome Conference Center and is open to the public. There will be no charge for the event. For more information, please contact Liz Zornes at 970-480-1888.

The Historic Stanley Home Foundation Announces Future Home Uses The mission of the Historic Stanley Home Foundation is, among many things, to permanently protect the Home and the land it resides on, be a good neighbor to adjacent homeowners, and to provide visitors to the Home with a unique opportunity to learn about local history. To correct misinformation that is circulating within our community, we wish to reinforce our message of preservation by announcing our intentions for the use of the home. Our primary activity will be conducting tours of the home. Tours will be by reservation only and groups will be strictly limited in number to maintain good management. No tours will be conducted early in the day and all tours will end well before evening.

Additionally, the home will be available for periodic use by organizations primarily of non-profit classification. However, in order to protect the home and avoid the possibility of accompanying noise, the board has determined that weddings, wedding receptions, family reunions, and other uses by private parties will not be allowed.

The home will be for historic display and will never be used for overnight stays. Our mission is to protect this historic homesite with an express goal to renovate and preserve the Home for the benefit of future generations; no actions will be taken that will adversely affect the home. We are a non-profit charitable organization that will not allow commercial operations.

The Foundation looks forward to collaborating with many of our fellow local charitable groups. Two small functions were held at the home in August and September.

Our experience was that none of the normal concerns of traffic, noise, or parking came to pass.

We look forward to accomplishing this vital mission to save the Stanley Home.

There is only one chance to protect this historic landmark and that time is now.

Contact the foundation at stanleyhistorichome@gmail.com or by calling (970) 415-0139. Please visit our website at www.historicstanleyhome.org.

Halloween Closure On Elkhorn Ave. Allows Safe Passage Of Trick-Or-Treaters To provide safe passage for trick-ortreaters during Estes Park’s annual community Halloween festivities, the Town of Estes Park will close Elkhorn Avenue

The fencing and cones will guide pedestrians to designated crosswalks. Officers

from the Estes Park Police Department will be stationed throughout downtown for added safety.

The Town of Estes Park encourages residents to bring their children downtown for a safe and fun Halloween celebration provided by the community’s local businesses, organizations and residents.

Trick-or-treating families are encouraged to follow these safety tips: • Costumes should be highly visible with reflective materials.

• To prevent tripping, costumes should not drag on the ground.

• Props should not have sharp edges that could cause injury.

• Carry a flashlight after dark.

• Walk, don’t run.

• Unless there is a designated street closure, walk on sidewalks and use designated crosswalks only.

October is Conflict Resolution Month.

To better equip citizens in resolving conflict, Melissa Westover, Executive Director and Manager of Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership, will address different aspects of conflict and give helpful ideas and resources regarding conflict management through weekly articles during October. Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership offers two programs to assist citizens of the Estes Valley in conflict resolution.

These programs are Restorative Community Mediation for low level disputes and Facilitated Conversations for groups and individuals looking to resolve conflict in a less formal setting. For more information regarding these programs contact Melissa at Mwestover@estes.org or 970577-3829.

As mentioned in previous articles, communication is a complex topic. As a result, it is common to hit roadblocks in communication that then lead to conflict. It is difficult to know what our next steps need to be, as every situation is unique. In this, our final article in the series, we will explore a few options to be considered next time you hit that roadblock.

Timing is a very important consideration. Though it might feel good to quickly resolve an issue, sometimes it is best to take a step back. Attempting to resolve a situation too quickly may not produce the best outcome. On the flipside waiting too long could translate into avoiding, which can be equally harmful.

If given the proper amount of time and space often issues will self-resolve. However, we must realize that people are not always ready to resolve conflict at the same time. Being sensitive to this idea assists you and the other party. If an impasse continues with no resolution it might be time to reach out for help.

Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership (EVRJP) offers a variety of opportunities to assist citizens with conflict resolution. It may surprise folks to know that the majority of our conflict resolution work is done through coaching. By providing coaching, we are able to help individuals build up their own skills and thus resolve their own conflict. Being in a position to provide feedback from a neutral position has been very helpful to our clientele. We certainly do not have all the answers, but we are good listeners and are willing to assist through offering ideas or giving information that might be helpful. The bottom line is that selfresolution is the best option and we will do our best to empower you to succeed.

A second service offered, often used by

groups of people, is Facilitated Conversations. This process is conducted by two trained facilitators to assist groups in problem-solving by developing action plans. These action plans come as a result of allowing each person the opportunity to express their ideas and concerns. The group then takes the next step by committing to complete tasks to move toward resolution of common issues. Once action plans are developed, follow-up meetings are scheduled to report back on progress with these action items. The beauty of this process is that groups can proactively utilize this service to work through issues before conflict arises, thus strengthening board or group functioning. This process is not a substitute for strategic planning for boards. However, it will assist an organization in fulfilling its strategic plan.

The final option is a formal mediation process. Mediation is voluntary and is designed to assist citizens in developing their own solution to conflict through written agreements. The process is conducted by two trained mediators. The mediators first meet individually with each party to listen to their stories and understand the issues driving the conflict. They then bring the parties together to conduct the process that culminates in a written agreement.

Mediators are neutral and have no say in the outcome; they instead are there to provide a platform for the parties to work out their dispute. Agreements made in mediation are conducted in good faith and are not legally binding.

EVRJP is willing and able to work with a wide variety of conflicts including landlord tenant disputes, neighborhood complaints, workplace conflicts and more. The process is not appropriate for child custody or divorce situations.

The past four weeks we have examined different ideas surrounding communication. Though our treatment of the topic has only skimmed the surface, we hope you’ve received some helpful insights that will assist you in better navigating conflict. If you find yourself in the unenviable position of facing a communication roadblock or conflict, remember that EVRJP is here to help. Our services are free to anyone living within the boundaries of the Estes Park School District. Learn more at www.estes.org/restorativejustice. Contact us at 970-577-3829 or restorativejustice@estes.org. Thank you for tuning in, we wish you a happy, conflict free life.

We’ll see you next October for Conflict Resolution Month!

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com For years now we’ve been told chocolate is good for us. Studies prove it, confirming that dark chocolate is better than milk chocolate—something to do with heart health and antioxidants and magic mood-lifting ingredients. Ergo, because researchers have given the stamp of approval, we’ve been compelled—obliged, really—to indulge in some chocolate every day. Even though in the back of our minds we have a nagging hunch that candy isn’t health food, we keep seeing headlines saying it is.

We’ve been dutiful, health-conscious consumers doing the right thing by eating chocolate. The more expensive, the better. The Vosges Haut-Chocolat bar with bacon is $7.99 for a 3-oz. treat. (Because bacon is also so very good for us.)

We can get chocolate with sea salt. (Because the more sodium, the better for our blood pressure, right?) We eat chocolate with chilies. Green tea.

Wasabi. Sixty-five percent cocoa, 80 percent, there’s even a 90 percent Cocoa Supreme Dark Chocolate Excellence Bar (made by Lindt, who now owns Russell Stover and Ghirardelli Chocolate Companies, FYI). The higher the cocoa content, the better for us. It doesn’t matter if the bar has a lot of calories, the health benefits outweigh the negative effects of the fat content.

Yep, yep, yep. We’re chocolatizing our way to good health.

And we’re in trouble.

All that research verifying that chocolate is good for us? It’s funded by Mars and Nestlé and the Chocolate Manufacturers Association of America.

Here’s what they do: • They offer big bucks to scientists so they can get the “right” questions answered from a study. They want the benefits of chocolate studied, but not the harms of chocolate, so they only ask for research on the positive effects of chocolate consumption.

• They make more money available for chocolate studies than for studies about, say, collard greens, so more scientists will want to do research on chocolate.

(No brainer. I wonder if Mars and Nestlé have thought about creating a collard greens chocolate bar.)

• The confectioners even go so far as to select their favorite scientists who have previously made chocolate look good to do the work.

Slimy, isn’t it? (The slanted studies, not the chocolate.)

How do confectioners get away with this? They send press releases when the results of the study they influenced is complete, touting exactly what they want us to read. It’s not really fake news but it’s not exactly true facts either, so the media take the chocolate industry information fed to them and put it out there for our gullible eyes to see.

A quick perusal of headlines brings up these: the New York Times: “Why Chocolate May Be Good for the Heart. ” Best Health Magazine: “Treat Yourself, 7 Amazing Health Benefits of Dark Chocolate. ” Even the Weight Watchers website says, “Why Chocolate is Good for You.” We don’t question what we read—because questioning and verifying is the reporters’ job—so we fall for what sounds like qualified information. (i. e., “Using data from a large Danish health study, researchers have found…” and “… according to the lead author, an instructor at Harvard…” Who paid for the Danish health study? Did the instructor at Harvard look into the negative effects of chocolate as well as the positive effects?

Was there a verification process? I have done a significant amount of unbiased chocolate testing, after all. The Alter Eco brand Organic Dark Chocolate Salted Brown Butter bar is my current favorite.

What’s not to like about butter-infused chocolate, except for its lack of health benefits. (Oh, that!)

Big picture: what are we to believe? Is it true that fruits and vegetables have some nutritional value, or is that fact questionable because the research was funded by the Colorado Fruits and Vegetable Growers Association? Do we accept the “fact” that fiber is good for the gut or not? Could it be that the anti-aging, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of red wine are a bunch of hooey?

After all the good vs bad press about other food groups, I don’t want to know what they’re discovering about ice cream. Especially the kind with dark chocolate chunks in it. It may not be healthy for the body, but it’s good for the soul. That’s all I need to know.

Estes Park Archives Program Saturdays Through December 9 The Estes Park Archives 2017 fall lecture series kicks off at a new location and time: Snowy Peaks Winery on 292 Moraine Avenue, this and every Saturday through December 9 beginning at 1:00 p.m.

Our first program focuses on photo albums, particularly those from the 1910s and 1920s, when Estes Park’s newspapers, indeed, the majority of Colorado newspapers, did a very poor job of documenting daily life and activities through photographs. During this era, Estes Park was blessed with an influx of summer

tourists toting cameras, some of whom bordered on professional photographers.

Their photo memories of these trips, especially when locations are properly identified and dated, are an invaluable resource for reconstructing events and appearances of local “celebrities� and neighborhoods at a particular time.

As with all EP Archives programs, admission is free and the general public is invited. At this time of year, parking is readily available across the street. Please contact John Meissner at 586-4889 for any questions or additional details.

Quotarian Kris Hazelton presents a check to Sheridan Monroe, Director.of Bands at EP School dist.

Quota Donates To Band Boosters The Service to Youth committee of the Estes Park Quota Club recently donated $1,000 to the Band Boosters to provide a gong as well as help with instruments, and electronic amplification, cords, and mics for the marching band. î ˘e Band Boosters not only raise money for marching band season which

runs through October, they support all bands- 5th-12th grade.

Our Estes Park High School Marching Band has been the 1A State Champion the last two years in a row. î ˘e next two years the band program is estimated to double in size, which means larger costs and expenses. See pg. 26 for more band info.

Mark Williams, Congressional Candidate In Estes Park Mark Williams, Democratic Candidate for the 2nd Congressional District on the 2018 ballot, will be in Estes Park on Sunday, October 29, at 4:30 p.m. to meet with voters and answer questions about his run for the U. S. Congress. This event will be held at Elkins Distilling Co., 1825 North Lake Avenue, Estes Park, and is free and open to the public.

Mark is a retired combat veteran -having served in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm during the Gulf Wars. He served more than two decades in the U.S. Air Force as a fighter pilot, intelligence officer, and ROTC instructor.

Mark has experience in the private sector as well, serving as VP and Director in the data/technology industry, and as CEO of Dynamic Human Solutions, a high-performance mental fitness group.

EP Genealogical Society Meeting November 9 The Estes Park Genealogical Society will meet on Thursday, November 9 at 4:00 p.m. in the Hondius Room of the Estes Valley Library. Boulder Genealogical Society member Dorothy Coltrin will present “Am I a Coltrin or a Coltrane. Value of Y-chromosome DNA.” The use of DNA has become very popular for genealogists. While most use autosomal DNA tests to connect to their 4th and 5th cousins, another test called Ychromosome DNA helps sort out the males who carry your surname. Dorothy will discuss how Y-chromosome DNA helped her solve her questions about her Coltrin line. She will outline what information is provided by the Y-test and will also give a simple understanding of the basic biology of genetics.

Dorothy has a Masters in Nutrition.

She taught a variety of courses including the science of DNA at a community college in California for more than 30 years. She is the project administrator for the Coltrain surname project at Family Tree DNA, and is also working with individuals on the Lane and Graham projects.

The society meets the second Thursday of every month from January through November in the library, offering a wide variety of programs and workshops.

Anyone interested in genealogy and family history research is welcome to attend the meetings.

He resides in Boulder with his wife and two children.

With his campaign for the Congressional seat now held by Jared Polis, Mark is continuing his commitment to serve people. The theme of his campaign is bringing people together. In his words, “In my work with the military, start-ups and with police, fire and EMT professionals, I’ve seen the great things that happen when folks come together for a common goal. We can harness this same energy for a new kind of politics—one that represents people over power... This isn’t just about Democrats and Republicans. Today, a consensus exists to move America forward, but it exists outside once-familiar party lines. ” More information on Mark is available at Mark’s website: www.MarkForColorado.com. Please join us to meet Mark and get to know your candidate in person.

Final Weekend For American Legion’s Haunted House Spectacular

By: Kurtis Kelly on behalf of the American Legion Post 119

Spine-tingling chills and heart-pounding thrills will abound for one more Halloween-themed weekend. Haunted House 2017 is part of a popular Estes Park tradition that has been hosted by American Legion Post 119.

While enjoying a multi-faceted entertainment experience, attendees will also help raise vital funds needed to support the American Legion.

This weekend’s Haunted House will be open on Friday and Saturday evenings,

October 27, and 28, from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. at the American Legion, located at the intersection of Highways 36 and 7.

Admission is $15.

Children under 12 should attend the kid-friendly version on Sunday, October 29 from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Special discounted admission on Sunday is $5.

The Legion’s lower floor has been com-

Friday, October 27, 2017 p pletely transformed into a “genuinely ccreepy basement” theme, where particip pants will explore their way through a m maze of surprising corners and corridors, ccomplete with ghoulish “scaracters” and ch chilling scenarios. This year’s Haunted H House is new and original, with a Scream T Team led by creative director Jennifer B Bass, a professional theater producer and acting coach. Leading the technical construction is longtime Estes Park resident Kovo Mendoza, who is drawing upon his strong background in theatrical and audio-visual design.

As part of this event’s community spirit, Bass notes that volunteerism has made it all possible. “Our entire staff, which includes designers, construction workers, costume design and creations, scare actors, food, and, most importantly, advertising is 100% volunteered and donated,” she said. “We are a group of folks with a passion for aiding our American veterans and our Legion that is always home and open to the community.”

The Legion wishes to thank Estes Park Lumber for the donation of lumber for construction. Thanks also goes to Eagle Rock School for their support.

For more information on the events and activities, contact American Legion Post 119 at (970) 586-6118. To learn more about the Estes Park chapter, visit their website at www.estespost119.com.

Habitat For Humanity Seeks Applicants For Estes Park Homeownership

Habitat for Humanity plans to begin building its next Estes Park home in Spring of 2018. The homeowner selection process can be lengthy so begins well ahead of construction. Applications for new homes in Estes Park will be available November 1-15. Prior to receiving an application, potential homeowners must complete an orientation which will be available at www.stvrainhabitat.org beginning November 1.

Those interested in applying for homeownership may also attend an orientation in person at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 11th, in the Community Room at U. S. Bank, located at 363 E Elkhorn Ave, Estes Park. Reservations are not required.

An orientation quiz follows the online orientation which homeowners must complete and turn in to receive an application. Submission instructions will be provided with the online quiz. Those at-

tending in person will complete the quiz at the orientation and will receive an application at that time.

Applicants must be US Citizens or Legal Permanent Residents, have a need for housing, the ability to repay the mortgage, and be willing to partner with Habitat.

Applicant finalists will be interviewed by Habitat’s homeowner selection committee.

Once homeowners are selected, they contribute 250-500 hours of “sweat equity” during the construction of their home. They must also attend budgeting, home maintenance and other classes.

Habitat homes are affordable because they are built by volunteers, working alongside future homeowners, and supervised by a professional construction crew. Homes are sold at cost through a no-profit mortgage.

If unable to attend the in-person orientation or access the online version, or for questions about or assistance with any part of the process, please contact Erin Minaya in Homeowner Services, at 303682-2485, extension 104, or eminaya@stvrainhabitat.org.

The school is an innovative, tuition-free, residential high school that is committed to helping the most disengaged students find their way back to an appreciation of education. For many students, it's a last chance to find educational success. But first, they must have a desire to change their lives, starting with a wilderness expedition that will test them in every way.

All Who Dare follows nine incoming Eagle Rock students who leave behind their families, friends, and familiar environments as they surpass their limits in the Lost Creek Wilderness of Colorado.

Guided by experienced wilderness educators, the students are challenged physically, emotionally, spiritually and socially during this once-in-a-lifetime journey of personal growth. They quickly learn that there are no excuses in the wilderness and that completing the trip is only the first step in taking responsibility for their lives.

All Who Dare - also the school's motto

- provides a compelling look at the unconventional approach of a nationally acclaimed innovative high school that provides hope for young people who are striving to turn their lives around.

“I MET THE MOST FAMOUS PERSON IN THE WORLD…” I’ll let Steven James finish the story he began with this comment. Please ponder. “…

Not in a palace, ballroom, auditorium, stadium or at a political rally. I met him on a blazing summer day in inner-city Boulder, Colorado. He was standing near a Subway restaurant. I’d just ordered two 12-inch subs when he walked past the window. At first I didn’t recognize him. I just happened to glance out the window as he walked by. ‘Huh, what a weird-looking dude,’ I thought.

I ate six inches. Twelve inches. Eighteen delicious inches of submarine sandwich. Then wiped my chin and smiled. Only six inches left, but I was pretty full. For a moment, I thought of throwing it away. ‘Naw, I’ll just eat it on the ride home.’ As I turned to go, I saw him again. This time, leaning over a garbage can. He moved slowly and deliberately, searching and scouring for something.

Anything. Still, I did not recognize this man, his clothes in shreds, his face blackened with grime.

Slowly he moved from one can to another, one dumpster to the next. He slid his hand into the stench and pulled out a moldy, dripping bun. Without a second thought he slid it into his pocket and continued his search…for food. I looked at the sandwich in my hand. ‘I can do a good deed and help this poor man,’ I thought. ‘Here’, I heard myself say, ‘Take this’. I held it out to him. He didn’t look up, he just thrust out a claw-like hand and clutched the gift. He said nothing as he shuffled away. Still, I didn’t recognize him. I strolled to the bus stop, impressed by my personal sacrifice. ‘Chalk up one for me in the good ol’ deeds department’. I might forget him, but I would not forget the ‘great kindness’ I’d shown.

However, I saw him again. Once in Cincinnati sitting by a heating vent. Once on a Wisconsin highway. Once in Tennessee, his head hung low, holding a sign, ‘Will work for food!’ I’ve seen his face on street corners, in alleys, near high-rise apartments, on park benches. He lives in Haiti…New York…far away…next door…down the street. He seems to pop up everywhere I look these days. Who is he? His name is Jesus. Yes, THE Jesus. In one of His last stories, He explained He would someday return to reward those who had reached out to the imprisoned and the poor. The King of the universe will recognize deeds of compassion so easily overlooked on this earth. “I assure you, when you did it unto the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me.” (Matthew 25:40) In God’s eyes, showing compassion and meeting physical needs of those less fortunate is a practical way of expressing your love to Jesus. You serve Him by serving them.

And so He appears. Each time wearing a different face, having a different need. Sometimes He’s a starving child in an obscure country. Sometimes a ‘Bag’ lady dragging a paper bag of her belongings down the street. Sometimes a grandmother sitting alone and forgotten in a nursing home. Sometimes a prisoner who receives no mail. Or a kid other kids make fun of, sitting up in the bleachers all alone. Sometimes He needs food, sometimes shelter, sometimes family. Always it’s compassion. Perhaps you’ve seen Him. Perhaps you’ve handed Him a soggy sandwich as He stood in front of the café where you had a sumptuous meal. Or ignored him because of the way He looked. Or walked past Him, making one of the many excuses people use… ’too busy’, ‘not my problem’.

He’ll show up soon in your life. Watch for Him…and one day, the King Himself will show up to thank you for your kindness.” (Stephen James) I needed this reminder. You?

Living Well With Diabetes

UCHealth to offer free six-week series at the Estes Park Senior Center The Town of Estes Park’s Senior Services Division and University of Colorado Health are collaborating to offer a free six-week series called Living Well with Diabetes. Classes will be held on Wednesdays, November 1 through December 13, from 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. at the Estes Park Senior Center. No class will be held on November 22. Space is limited; please call or stop by the Senior Center, 220 Fourth Street, to register.

Classes will be taught by Cindy Ballinghoff, RN, from the Estes Park Medical Center, and Katie Plassmeyer, RN, NP-C, from Timberline Medical Clinic. According to Cindy and Katie, people who take the classes have more energy, get more exercise, work with their doctors more easily and efficiently, and are more confident they can manage their own health. They also feel less pain, less depressed, and less tired. Classes are highly participative, where mutual support and success build the participants’ confidence in their ability to manage their health and maintain active and fulfilling lives. Each participant in the class receives a copy of Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions.

Cindy Ballinghoff received her Bache-

lors of Science in Nursing in 1982 and has been employed by Estes Park Medical Center since 1990. Prior to moving to Estes Park, Cindy was a hemodialysis, ICU, cardiac rehabilitation, and hospice nurse. She has worked with diabetics since 2004. Currently, she is one of the telephone triage nurses for Estes Park Medical Group and still works in the Emergency Department as a staff RN. Katie Plassmeyer is a Nurse Practitioner and Care Manager at Timberline Medical Clinic where she helps patients with chronic diseases become better selfmanagers while assisting with navigation of the increasingly complex healthcare system. She was trained last August in the Stanford Program of Living Well courses where she became certified to teach this course, Living Well with Diabetes, and Living Well: Surviving and Thriving after Cancer.

For more information, please contact the Estes Park Senior Center at (970) 586-2996 or visit the Center at 220 Fourth Street, Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Please visit the Senior Services website at www.estes.org/seniorcenter.

Ageless Boogie Jazz Dance Classes Continue This Winter

The Town of Estes Park’s Senior Services Division will offer another six-week Boogie Jazz Dance class series on Wednesdays, November 15 through December 20, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. The cost for the six-week series is $44 for members of Estes Park Senior Citizens Center, Inc. or $58 for non-members.

There is a minimum of six participants required for the series. Stop by the Senior Center, 220 Fourth Street, with cash or check payable to the Town of Estes Park to register.

Instructor Laurie Grace Wood has been dancing since she was seven years old. She went on to train, perform, and become an entertainment dancer and choreographer for more than 18 years, working for Disney/ MGM Studios, SeaWorld, community theatres, universities, pageants, and corporations. She also completed degrees in Modern Dance and Business Administration at the University of South Florida.

Laurie describes dance as a full body workout that improves memory, coordination, balance, strength, rhythm, selfexpression, and creativity. In this sixweek class she will teach the basics of jazz, Broadway, musical theatre, and lyrical styles which are set to different genres of music from different decades.

No experience is required. Laurie says, “If you can walk, you can dance. The most important part is that we dance for fun, we laugh, and we don’t take ourselves too seriously.”

The Estes Park Veterans Monument comes to life By: Gary Brown, Chairman, Estes Park Veterans Monument Committee

Just about a year ago Vern Mertz, one of our esteemed World War II veterans, came to Carey Stevanus and me with the idea that Estes Park should have a monument recognizing veterans. Both of us caught that dream and brought together a committee of other veterans and supporters to consider what, when and where?

We had many, many ideas about how the monument should look. All natural stone? All the services? All who served and are serving? A statue? An airplane?

A tank? A ship? Flags? A place for contemplation, inspiration, and education while reflecting the uniqueness of Estes Park? You’ve heard the story that a camel is a horse designed by a committee!

We needed focus!!

Well sometimes in our lives we are lucky to have just the right people with the right skills somewhat magically appear. We were inspired by three people, Brian Berg from the Town of Estes Park and Joe Calvin and John Bostron from the local architect firm Thorp Associates. They all three immediately shared the dream. Brian recommended the perfect location along the Riverwalk near the Estes Park Visitor Center, and from there the concept began to develop through the expertise of Joe and John.

Roger Thorp and his firm have long been important in developing the face of Estes Park. Thorp Associates, P.C., Architects and Planners, well-known local architectural firm, is headed by Roger Thorp and Joe Calvin. The firm has been doing business not only in the Estes Valley and Colorado, but also throughout the country and Canada since 1976. Besides owning an awardwinning firm with over forty awards, both have been honored by the American Institute of Architects. In 2002 Joe won the Colorado Chapter AIA competition for his excellence in development of digital architectural construction documents for the firm's Mississauga, Canada Coliseum Theatre project and in 2010, Roger was named Architect of the Year by the Northern Colorado Chapter of the AIA. Both Roger and Joe came from

the American Institute of Architects.

Chair of his Rotary club’s community service committee, Roger has been involved in many enriching Rotary projects for the community. Joe is an active member and past president of the Estes Park Lions Club. He serves on the Estes Park Board of Appeals and with his knowledge of building codes is respected throughout Colorado. Always trying to find a better way to utilize technology, Joe writes and beta tests software. He designed the unique sundial at the Estes Park Observatory, which uses a human gnomon.

So how lucky the EP Veterans Monument Committee was to have Joe and John from that firm jump on the project. They began making very professional designs for the effective use of the space identified for Estes Park Vetboth professionally and personally, pro- erans Park. They took the committee’s viding pro bono services in many local ideas and developed a captivating conendeavors. Roger is a member of The cept!

the public arts committee and the Board of Trustees. Fundraising began in earnest in March and the monument marched steadily forward. The architects volunteered countless hours at each stage of the project from design to picking the individual components. Over the past few weeks the parts have been making their way to Estes Park, and are now being put into place.

When John was asked why he decided to work on the project he commented, “In Estes Park, there is nothing to honor the men & women who have served this great country. It was time to recognize their sacrifice and show our appreciation. � John was unable to serve in the military due to physical limitations, but feels “it is very important to honor those who have given so much. They are the true heroes. �

Joe believes, “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be involved in such a meaningful endeavor. � Several of his family members served in the military.

He feels, “All monuments should be from those who benefit and recognize a veteran.� “I am deeply honored to help design the monument, � says Joe. Dedication of the monument is scheduled for Veterans Day, November 11 at 2:00 p.m. Along with dedicating the stones and sculptures put beautifully together, we will be appreciating two professionals, Joe and John, whose skills made our tribute to veterans an inspirational reality.

Veteran Of The Week Guess who this veteran is! A long time Estes Park resident and key person for years in the Salvation Army fund drive. Here’s what he says: “When I was 17 years old (1946) I enlisted in the Marines and served 18 months, which included six months with Air Group USS Rendova (an aircraft carrier) as a Plane Captain out of El Toro, California. I had to keep the Corsairs mechanically fit for carrier duty. As a USMC Reserve, I was called back into active duty beginning June 1951 to September 1952. I served in VMF (Vought Marine Fighter) Squadrons 210, 211 and 212 as Plane Captain and MAG25 (Marine Air Group-transport planes) as crew chief. Semper Fi! The first one to guess correctly who this veteran is by calling Gary Brown at 970-586-2021 receives a monument coin! The Veterans Monument construction is well under way (see separate article on page 25 in this edition). If you still would still like to be a part of this lasting tribute to veterans

Free Workshops To Help Transform The Journey Of Loss

Dayle E. Spencer, author of Loving Allie, Transforming the Journey of Loss, and Loving Spirit, Self-help for the Journey of Loss, will be offering a free, twoday grief recovery workshop in Estes Park Colorado on Saturday and Sunday, November 11th and 12th. The Loving Spirit Workshop will take place at the Estes Valley Library, 335 E. Elkhorn Avenue, Estes Park, CO 80517.

Following the death of her only daughter, Allie Powell, in 2011, from the flu, Spencer has been writing, blogging and speaking about recovery from loss issues in many venues. When she was interviewed on the nationally broadcast Hay House Radio network, she said, "When

Allie died, the single most important decision we made, was the choice not to view ourselves as victims. This decision has made all the difference in our ability to heal and to rediscover joy and love in our lives again." She wants her readers and audiences to know that they are not powerless when they suffer a major loss in life, but that they have the capacity to learn from the experience and to actually emerge stronger in their broken places.

Participants will also receive an autographed copy of Loving Allie and a workbook based on Loving

Spirit.

The workshops are completely free to participants because of the generous support of compassionate individuals, as well as donations made by previous Loving Spirit participants who chose to “pay it forward.” This workshop is made possible in part by a grant from the Village Thrift Shop in Estes Park, as well as a donation in memory of Revered William C. Shirey, also of Estes Park.

Each Loving Spirit Workshop will be limited to only thirty participants and only one per family.

Registration For Winter Dance, Gymnastics & Cheer Classes Get out of the cold, and get into the studio this winter! Center Stage School of Dance & Gymnastics has opened registration for the 10-week Winter Session of classes. Weekly classes are offered to students ages three through adult, and beginners are always welcome! The winter session of classes starts on Wednesday, November 1st and continues through the end of January. (No classes over the Thanksgiving and Winter Break holidays.) We offer multiple levels of classes in Hip-Hop, Jazz, Contemporary, Tap, Lyrical, Irish Dance, Ballet/Tap, Pointe, Tumbling and Gymnastics. Center Stage's Ballet Renaissance will also be instructing students with their classical ballet syllabus, and new this session - we are offering two new classes: Cheerleading taught by Coach Brandi, and Poms dance class taught by Ms. Megan.

Cheer vs. Poms; What's the difference?

There is a very large difference of what the poms teams do versus cheerleaders!

The poms team is dancing for the crowd's entertainment doing turns, leaps and high kicks; they don’t do many lifts and tricks, and don’t yell or look for audience interaction during their pom routines. The poms team always performs at

halftime, not during the actual sports game.

The cheerleaders throw and lift girls, plus use tumbling in their routines. They yell and shout and are in charge of riling up the crowd and getting them excited about the plays. The cheerleaders will be cheering the whole game, making sure everyone is excited for whichever sport is being watched.

Center Stage is offering Cheer class on Thursday’s from 3:45-4:30 p.m. to Kindergarten through 5th grades. The Poms class is being offered to students in 3rd through 8th grades on Friday’s from 7:00-7:45 p.m.

To see a full class schedule, please visit our website at www.centerstagedanceestespark.com, or stop by the studio, located at 2050 Big Thompson Ave. (Lower level of the Estes Park Mt. Shop) Financial aid scholarships are available, and multiple class discounts always apply. Registration can be completed by calling Center Stage at (970)586-3830, or message via our FB page, or use the "contact us" page of our website with email. Class size is limited so be sure to get a spot today!

Yoga Community By: Caryn Ling

Why go to a yoga studio? With all the online options available to do yoga today, why make it to a class? Community. These online classes fail to offer people practicing, learning, and supporting each other together in real time. The other options are not inherently bad. I, too, do a home practice or use a video when I can’t focus on my own or can’t make it to class, but the studio environment and its community is a strong anchor in my practice, both as a teacher and as a student.

There’s something amazing about being in a room of people all practicing together. Whether it’s having personal feedback and adjustments to help you break through a pose you’ve been struggling with, or it’s a teacher to place an eye pillow on you for the final rest, these elements are a wonderful addition to the yoga practice. Some days we need others support to help us stay engaged for the full length of the class instead of hopping up to finish that never ending to-do list.

Other days it’s hugs and words of encouragement as we recover from a physical injury, or it’s just one of those times when we need to connect with people in person.

As a teacher, it’s wonderful to see a student progress both physically and mentally through yoga, and community allows that to happen. Those “a-ha” moments are a treat to witness, and sometimes those “a-ha” moments are

on our end as teachers. We are constantly learning from our students. While I have studied and continue to study how to help people learn yoga, I only get to experience what it’s like to practice yoga in my body with its particular strengths and limitations.

When someone is willing to share their experience of a pose in their body it can be an amazing learning experience for everyone in the room. It isn’t something that can be observed externally, and it strengthens my skills to be a better teacher and facilitate more “aha” moments. That bond between student and teacher can be a real asset for both parties. It is easier to help a student I have seen practice before, as I know more about their strengths and limitations or even simply their reasons for doing yoga.

I had been thinking about writing this article while being a student in another teacher’s class (we teachers are also subject to monkey mind). Closing my eyes, becoming present, I listened to the sounds of others practicing ujjayi breathing (a breathing technique with a distinctive sound). It grounded me and brought my attention back to where I needed it, right here and right now. A whole room full of people present in that moment working together, even though the experience and variations of what we were doing was different. This to me is the magic of yoga.

Vote “Yes� On 3A To Provide A Brighter Future To The Editor: On behalf of the Estes Park Agricultural Education Advisory Council, we urge voters to vote "yes" on Ballot Issue 3A in the November 7, 2017 election.

We feel supporting the mill levy will allow development of greater vocational programs, including agricultural education and the FFA program, which are vital in training future leaders and managers in the fields of production agriculture, conservation, horticulture and park management, as well as town and city beautification. If students would have access to a modern industrial and mechanical shop, a greenhouse that teaches horticulture and gardening skills, and a curriculum that expands 21st century skills, hands-on post secondary experience with financial literacy, they would be more prepared for life and career skills that are needed when they

This is an insult to your and my intelligence and I say shame on the school board for presenting such an underhanded method of attempting to generate additional revenue.

Voting No On 3A

Vote Yes On 3A To the Editor, We have great schools here in Estes Park, but they are underfunded. If this underfunding continues, we put our schools at risk of being degraded, we put our kids at risk of falling behind and we actually put our entire community at risk of being weakened. Please don’t let this happen. Strong and vibrant communities always have well-funded schools.

“Let’s Get Digital� - Go to www.epnews.com

You can help keep our schools, kids and community strong by voting YES on 3A. A YES vote on 3A will not just help keep our schools great, it will actually make them better. Please support our schools, our kids and our entire community.

Please vote YES on 3A. Sincerely, Ron Wilcocks and family, Estes Park

tually 'read' the ballot issue, you find dubious wording that allows the board to "may or may not" allocate funds (with little accountability) to any of the noble causes outlined in the questionably distributed fliers (aren't they supposed to be mailed or handed out in person). For

those of us on fixed incomes, having yet another "only" a small incremental levy is greater than our unreliable COLA SS increases. There is also no mention of how much administrator wages are increased. I'm sorry, but I have a longer memory of the last "trip to the well" that increased our property taxes and can not, in good conscious, vote for this issue.

Jesus-Who Was He, How Do You Know?

Next month a new $500 million museum will open near the National Mall in Washington D. C. It is The Museum of the Bible. The central figure of the Bible was Jesus of Nazareth. Who was he?

Some say a myth and legend. Others a fake. Still others a sage. There are some who think that he was God in the flesh.

Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Budhists, even atheists have an opinion about him. Jesus was at the center of controversy and curiosity when he was alive. The new museum guarantees he will continue to be a person of curiosity, controversy and conjecture, even now

Supports Ballot Issue 1A To The Editor: I’m writing to encourage a “Yes” vote on Ballot Issue 1A to extend an existing fifteen one-hundredths of one percent sales tax for needed expansion and new facilities at The Ranch.

During the eight years I served as a Larimer County Commissioner I frequently heard we should run the county government like a business.

Ballot Issue 1A is good business. For every one dollar that has been invested in The Ranch the citizens of Larimer County have received a return of $6.47.

A return on investment of over 600% is good business by any measure.

Thank you.

James Disney

2000 years after his death.

Much has been written about him.

Even more will be written about him in the future. As Christmas approaches his name will come up among family, friends, and co-workers. All will ask, who do you think he was? How will you answer?

Amid all of the guessing and speculation wouldn’t it be helpful to find out what people who personally knew him think of him? On Friday November 3rd from 6:30-9:15 p.m. and on Saturday November 4th from 9:00 a.m. to Noon Mountain View Bible Fellowship will

host The Real Jesus Seminar. The free seminar is open to all who wonder who Jesus was, and how we can know. Speakers will present evidence that the Gospel account of Jesus’ life that we have in our Bibles were received by the first community of Christians as eyewitness accounts. We will then discuss the life of Jesus that the gospels describe. Saturday morning, we will learn how the very first generation of Christians, those who were taught by people who personally knew Jesus’, trusted the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to tell them about who Jesus was and what he did. After

that we will explore some of the controversies and questions that came up in the church and how these were resolved by relying on the gospels. If you still have more questions the speakers will participate in a question and answer session before the seminar ends.

Here is your chance to learn about this controversial person and to form your own, informed opinion. Be ready this Christmas season when the question comes up “who is Jesus and how do you know?”

Vote Yes On 3A To The Editor: Our school district, which we entrust with the education of over 1,000 young people in our community every day, is requesting a mill levy override this fall.

Funds will be used to help our schools be the best they can be, for every student.

We have wonderful teachers in our school district (thanks guys!)—inspiring and skilled professionals who have chosen to devote their careers to young people in our town. With housing costs in Estes Park so high, and so little housing

available, it is increasingly difficult to entice new teachers to come into our community and stay. At present, the school district can’t pay as well as schools in the Front Range, and must hope that they are happy to be paid partly in sunsets. 3A funds will help to make salaries more competitive, so our teachers can really enjoy those sunsets.

You hopefully took part in the community learning conversations sponsored by the school district last year. These exercises generated a shared vision for 21st education that harnesses the strengths

of our community for our students. Mill levy override funding will help implement this vision, giving students the best possible opportunity to succeed in school and beyond. For some, this will mean thriving in today’s competitive college and work environment. For others, it will take the form of better vocational skills, honed through improved facilities and programming at school.

For our community, and for all the children growing up here, Vote YES on 3A! Sarah Pita
