Public Input Encouraged As Board Considers Adoption Of Wildlife Protection Ordinance Sept. 8 Wildlife, public safety in mind during review of stronger trash containment requirements At its September 8 meeting, the Estes Park Town Board will review a final draft of the proposed wildlife protection ordinance that would provide stronger requirements for residential and commercial trash management within Town limits. This comes after several months of public outreach and at the recommendation of the community-led Bear Education Task Force.

Police Chief Wes Kufeld emphasized the importance of this possible ordinance as police observe consistent bear conflicts due to lax trash management practices and a surge in bear activity this year. "Despite three years of persistent community education by the Estes Valley Bear Education Task Force, paired with increased enforcement by police and the litter patrol conducted by the Police Auxiliary, we're still seeing a lot of bear conflicts, particularly where commercial dumpsters are left uncovered and other careless trash management practices occur regularly." Kufeld noted a particular concern not only for the lives of bears, which can become problem bears and face euthanasia by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, but also for the residents and guests who frequent the same areas.

"For instance, the night of July 30 our officers identified seven different bears looking for easy meals in one small area of the downtown commercial district."

The draft wildlife protection ordinance is based on a menu of options the public and Town Board reviewed in June. The Town continues to encourage public feedback and participation as the discussion continues September 8. The Town Board meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the Town Board Room of Town Hall, 170 MacGregor Ave. The final draft of the ordinance is available for

review at www.estes.org/wildlifeprotectionordinance. Individuals who cannot participate in the September 8 meeting may submit comments to the Town Clerk's office by September 4 attownclerk@estes.org or in Room 130 of Town Hall. If adopted by the board, staff has recommended that enforcement not begin until April of 2016 to allow residents and businesses time to adjust their trash management practices.

The draft ordinance for residences would require trash to be stored in a typical hard-sided trash container with secured lid, and be placed outside the residence on pickup day only between the hours of 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. Bag services would continue to operate with bags placed inside a hard-sided container, no longer left as-is curbside due to problems with wildlife, particularly birds and raccoons. This would reduce attractiveness to bears and increase public and wildlife safety. Residents choosing to leave trash outside before 6 a.m. or after 7 p.m. on pickup day would need to utilize a wildlife-resistant container or enclosure.

The draft ordinance would require commercial businesses (including vacation rental homes and special events) to store trash in a wildlife-resistant container or wildlife-resistant enclosure at all times. Wildlife resistant dumpsters are readily available locally, and in many cases there is no cost to upgrade. Oil and grease would be required to be stored in a wildlife-resistant container.

Non-wildlife-resistant containers 95 gallons or less would be allowed when emptied by 10 p.m. daily or when they are contracted for pickup service overnight.

Illegal Escaped Campfires In Rocky Mountain National Park

Historic Park Theatre

In the past ten days, Fire Managers and Park Rangers at Rocky Mountain National Park have responded to four illegal, escaped campfires. While all four were suppressed at less than 1/4 acre, each one had the potential to spread and threaten lives and property.

Rocky Mountain National Park always has fire restrictions in place.

Campfires are only allowed within designated campfire rings at select locations in the park, including picnic areas and campgrounds.

In the fall of 2012, the Fern Lake Fire

started from an illegal campfire. This fire burned over 3,000 acres, caused an evacuation of a portion of Estes Park and cost more than six million dollars to suppress.

We have been fortunate to have experienced a relatively quiet wildfire season compared to other parts of the country. However, the extra grasses and thick vegetation from the spring and summer rains are drying out and fire danger continues to rise as we enter September. Combined with normal fall wind events, we still have the potential for fast moving, large fire events.

Sept 4th- Sept 17th, 2015 Estes Park local film makers have made many movies about our area in honor of RMNP 100th Anniversary we present 2 weeks of local films. Join us for: "The Living Dream 100 YRS of RMNP”, Rivers of the Rockies, Birds without Borders, Solar Car, The Tower of Love & Park Theatre Album & Ghosts of the West.

Fire Chief Scott Dorman would like to announce that the Estes Valley Fire Protection District has been awarded an Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) from FEMA to replace all of the Fire District’s self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). SCBAs are what the firefighters wear on their backs allowing them to breathe clean air in dangerous atmospheres.

The grant will allow for the purchase of 30 state-of-the-art SCBA’s, 60 SCBA air bottles (1 spare bottle for each SCBA), and 40 face pieces or masks that are fitted to each individual firefighter. The new SCBAs will be at a higher pressure than the current ones, increasing from a 2216 psi system to a 4500 psi system.

This increase in pressure will provide for a 45 minute air supply instead of 30 min970-586-8904 utes, thus, giving an extra margin of

safety to the firefighters.

Chief Dorman stated, “This is will be a tremendous help to the firefighters and increase the level of safety to these men and women who place their lives in danger to help our community. Our existing SCBAs do not meet the current NFPA standards and needed to be replaced. SCBAs are very expensive running around $7,000 each with a spare air bottle around $1,000.” He also stated how important it is to have individual face pieces that are fit tested to each firefighter, not just to meet the NFPA requirement, but more importantly to ensure contaminates cannot enter the face piece while being worn.

This is a cost share grant between FEMA and the District. The District will be responsible to cover about 5% of the cost and FEMA providing the remaining 95% or a little over $218,000.

The chair was hanging outside a local home and while the homeowner was away, a bull happened by and tried to spar with the chair. Imagine the shock when the homeowner came back to find a large bull elk trapped in their chair. The homeowner quickly called Colorado Parks and Wildlife to get help, but by the time an officer was able to respond, the elk had struggled and thrashed around in this entrapment for so long he had fractured his skull and died of his injuries.

epnews.com This week we turn back the page to a Thunker column run in this space in 2008.

It was written five years and one week before Estes Park’s memorable flood of 2013 and the ensuing Porta Potty Period.

Forgive me for addressing a rather personal issue, but this is a topic of nature, one that figures into every earthly creature’s life, several times a day. For the twolegged, it often incorporates a porcelain bowl and donut-shaped seat and an air vent and Mr. Whipple’s Charmin. But for many of us nature lovers who spend hours at a time in the out-of-doors, it involves answering The Call away from modern “conveniences.”

In today’s column, convenience is a moot word (the true definition of moot, by the way, is “open to discussion or debate.”) In my opinion, there is nothing convenient about a latrine that goes dark when the door slams behind me with an Alcatrazlike boom, where shreds of paper litter the floor, flies buzz around the place I intend to sit, and a stifling, acrid odor wafts in the stale air. Nonetheless, some people would choose this convenience rather than to “see a man about a horse” in the unconfined, fresh, aromatic outhouse called the wilderness.

One of the simple pleasures of being away from it all is to answer Mother Nature’s call her way—in the wild.

When the urge hits, you merely venture off the trail, climb over a few fallen trees, look back to check if you are sufficiently camouflaged, and drop your drawers.

There’s no standing in line, no squatting to look for feet under a stall door, no locks that don’t line up properly, no noisy hand dryers, no drippy counters below mirrors crowded by women re-applying lipstick and fluffing sprayed hair. Mother Nature’s privy is never far; using it is easy, quick, and fresh. Each time I leave the trail for a moment spent au naturel, I encounter an area of rocks and/or woods that feels untouched except by untamed animals which I half expect to bump into, but never do. The bonus—no indoor toilet provides such views!

Last summer there were several women on a hike I was leading who had never attempted the basic mission of picking flowers in the wild. (Picking flowers is a

Thai phrase for what women do when they answer Mother Nature’s call.

Men shoot rabbits.) In my best-selling, never-beenwritten book “How Women Wiz in the Woods 101” I explained the procedure. I described the site selection process, demonstrated several position options (i.e., sit and scoot to the back of a log, or bend one’s knees 90 degrees or more and place one’s back up against a large boulder, or grab a tree with both hands and lean back as far as possible), I reminded them to gather up the fabric around their knees and tug it up and out of the way, defined “drip dry,” and sent them scattering to give it a try. It never occurred to me to tell these inexperienced women the obvious—that they needed to remove themselves from the trail more than a couple of steps. One woman became suddenly conspicuous when two hikers rounded the bend and were startled by the “bare” they met right next to the trail. Fortunately the exposed was a good sport, as were the mooned hikers, and the incident was laughed off as a good Candid Cameratype story to take home.

I mean no offense to the park, whose personnel work hard to keep the park privies clean. Some units have no offensive odor (those positioned so they don’t bake in the summer sun), they always have plenty of toilet paper, and hand sanitizer dispensers are handy. To protect our clear mountain waters from the Giardia parasite, the park restrooms are the proper place when one needs to “rest.”

(Giardia is transmitted by solid, not liquid, waste, and has only become a problem since the ‘70s. “You might still scoop a pure cupful of water directly from a stream, but the risks aren’t worth it,” said Kathleen Meyer in her humorous, entertaining, and educational book, “How To Sh** in the Woods.”) However, when it is my bladder that would be gladder if it were flatter, I can’t think of a more appropriate and pleasant place to visit than the best privy of all: the great outdoors.

Region’s Largest Bike Rally, Thunder In The Rockies, Rolls Into Loveland This Labor Day Weekend

Join more than 50,000 people for a highenergy rally and the best Rocky Mountain riding Sept. 4 – Sept. 7 The 11th annual Thunder in the Rockies, the largest bike rally in Colorado and the region, is set for Sept. 4 – 7, 2015 at Thunder Mountain Harley-Davidson in Loveland, Colo. The 2015 bike rally brings motorcycle enthusiasts and weekend warriors together from across the country to share their passion for freedom in the wind and to share the road for some of the most breathtaking, scenic riding in the U.S. The rally includes high-powered entertainment, events and activities, including a free Friday afternoon Shooter Jennings concert to kick off the rally as well as evening concerts with national entertainment acts Sammy Kershaw, Jackyl, Night Ranger, Slaughter and LoCash.

Over the past 11 years, Thunder in the Rockies has grown to become a destination for motorcycle enthusiasts from across the United States. Hosted by Thunder Mountain Harley-Davidson, Colorado’s largest Harley-Davidson dealership, the rally is one of the first opportunities to try out the brand new 2016 Harley-Davidson models*, enjoy the scenic views of Loveland, Estes Park and Big Thompson Canyon and enjoy four days of entertainment. Aspiring motorcyclists also have the opportunity to try Jumpstart, the stationary motorcycle experience.

“Thunder in the Rockies has become a great place for motorcycle enthusiasts to connect. Our rally has really taken on a unique feel. It is the uniting of a brotherhood, the gathering of kindred souls that share the passion for freedom in the wind.

More than 50,000 people come from all corners of the world and all walks of life to remember and reminisce, to partake and enjoy camaraderie as well as share stories from the past and plan for adventures yet to come,” said Jill Almirall, marketing and event manager at Thunder Mountain Harley-Davidson.

The rally kicks off at noon Friday, Sept. 4 with an afternoon kickoff party that includes free BBQ and free Shooter Jennings concert. The event rolls throughout the weekend with biker-related vendors, shows, entertainment and activities running throughout the event. Monday, Sept.

7 is family day and a great opportunity for families to come and enjoy the event with children’s face painting, helicopter rides, beautiful birds of prey on display with the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program and a vendor street mall with products for the whole family. In addition to evening concerts, notable shows and activities include: The Busted Knuckles Stunt Tour is a nationally recognized, V-Twin thrill show

performed solely on Harley-Davidson motorcycles. These American Daredevils perform stunts that include wheelies, acrobatics, burnouts, jumps, Pyro, and whatever else these crazy performers have up their sleeve. Every show is unique and different.

2015 Bike Show: Motorcycle enthusiasts from all over the country show off their custom bikes for a chance to win People’s Choice and Best in Show. Come and see beautiful bikes and vote for your favorites.

Mark Brodie Pinstriping: Mark Brodie is considered “Nascar’s Celebrity Artist.” Between his custom-built motorcycle designs gracing the covers of magazines like American Bagger, and his work with Nascar greats Dale Earnhardt Sr., Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Mark Martin, his work can be found everywhere. The fine art is all oneoff originals. Mark has performed custom work for many of the world’s top bike builders and, in ’03, had the privilege and distinction to helm the paint-scheme for logo changes for the Winston/Nextel changeover with Nascar. From old-school pinstriping to in-your-face, head-turning paint schemes and fine art, Mark is one to see this year. Come and meet him for a signature or photo, or, pinstripe on your car or bike, modifying it from your usual “stocker,” to something personal and custom.

Contests: From the 2015 Miss Hooters Thunder in the Rockies Bikini contest, to a tattoo contest, there are many ways to watch, participate and enter to win great prizes and giveaways throughout the rally.

Push Jack Higher And Voice Your Interest

There are two ways you can help the Estes Valley Community Garden (EVCG) Board break ground this fall for the Garden in Stanley Park. One way is to move Jack even further up the Beanstalk with a donation. As you might guess, the higher he goes up the Beanstalk, the more of the Garden can be built in the first year.

You can see much success over this summer in moving Jack up, thanks to local citizens, businesses, organizations, grants, and the Town of Estes Park. At the beginning of the summer, Jack was sitting at $16,000. Look where he is now -- $24,714. The Town Trustees recently awarded $5,000 to the EVCG to help with the expenses of connecting to the Town water supply. In addition, two anonymous donors matched donations during July and August.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to contribute, you can send your tax-deductible donation to the Estes Valley Community Garden’s P.O. Box 4158, Estes Park, CO 80517.

The second way you can help is by expressing your interest in renting a plot (currently planned at 4 ft. x 10 ft.) for next summer.

Please consider this question: If the Board were to hold a drawing for plot rentals right now, would you put your name into the drawing?

Your answer will not be a binding commitment. In fact no one will even keep a record of your name when you respond, but your response will assist with the final layout of the garden area. Indicating if you would be interested in an accessible plot (i.e. roughly waist-high) would be helpful in the planning process as well.

Here’s how to respond: click on the “Contact Us” page on the website, evcg.org; send a note to the P.O. Box above; or call Connie Dedon at 5864078. The Board would like your response by September 10th.

The official drawing to rent a plot will be in January or February 2016. Notice of that process will be sent through the EVCG email list and published in the newspapers. It is anticipated each plot will rent for approximately $50 per season, and EVCG Members will receive a $10.00 discount.

Drive by the NE corner of Manford Avenue and Community Drive to see the sign marking the Future Home of Estes Valley Community Garden. Then let the Board know you are considering being a future gardener!

Have You Seen Luke The Cat? His Family Misses Him! This family pet named Luke went missing from Dry Gulch and Red Tail Hawk near Salud last week. He's a 1 1/2 year old Siamese. He was scheduled to be neutered when he disappeared so we're hoping someone has him.

Kids are heartbroken!

Estes Park Crop Walk For The Hungry September 20

Have you ever thought you would like to do something for the hungry when you see a picture in a magazine or a news clip on TV of a hungry child or a fleeing refugee family? You can do more than you might think when you take part in a walk for the hungry.

People who take part in a Church World Service CROP Walk sign up friends, relatives and coworkers through personal contacts, the internet, Facebook or phone to support them in a walk to raise money for those in need.

Nelson Mandela said “Overcoming poverty is not charity; it is an act of justice. Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes it falls on a generation to be that great generation. Let your generation blossom.”

Pick up a sponsor sheet and start sign-

ing up sponsors to support you on your walk for the hungry at the following churches: Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, 1700 Brodie; The Estes Park United Methodist Church, 1501 Fish Hatchery Road; and St. Bartholomew Episcopal Church, 880 Macgregor Avenue; or the Community Church of Pinewood Springs. Also you may contact Peter Vanderveen, walk coordinator in Estes Park, at 586-0578, who will deliver a sponsor sheet and details about Church World Service to you.

The walk will go around Lake Estes on Sunday, September 20. We will meet on the south side of the Estes Park Visitors’ Information Center at 1:30 p.m. There will be a water and refreshment stop at the marina area provided by Crossroads. Twenty-five per cent of all receipts will go to Crossroads for local needs.

First State Of Slim Classes Announced At EPMC

Beginning next month, Estes Park Medical Center will be offering the scientifically-proven State of Slim weight-loss program licensed from University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center. The program is based upon the best-selling book, State of Slim, by James O. Hill, PhD and Dr. Holly Wyatt, medical director for ABC’s Extreme Weight Loss show. Dr. Frank D. Dumont and Lesta Johnson, RN, MSN, will lead the Estes Park classes.

State of Slim is a three-phase, 16-week program that advocates changing food choices and increasing physical activity, along with making a shift in environment and routine, to reboot your metabolism and help maintain a healthy weight. Years of research on living a lean lifestyle uncovered the key elements that make this program effective – finding motivation, expecting success, fueling up on real food, enjoying physical activity, creating a supportive environment, and making it all fun. The result for participants is a vibrant,

healthy lifestyle and a flexible metabolism that accommodates occasional indulgences, making deprivation a thing of the past.

“What makes this program different and so successful for keeping weight off is that it focuses on lifestyle and mind-set changes, rather than meager menus and denial,” said Dr. Dumont. “The results that program participants at CU have seen are impressive – both in the amount of weight lost and in the ability to stick with the prescribed healthy lifestyle changes on a long-term basis.”

The first set of Estes Park classes will begin on Sept. 16. For 16 weeks a small group will meet every Wednesday evening at the Medical Center.

Most of the spots in this session have been filled with EPMC employees and participants from other large employers in the area. A few have been opened up for area residents. Visit www.epmedcenter.com/STATEofSLIM for more information about the program. To register or be placed on a wait-list for the next session (to be held early in 2016) call 970-586-2200.

Return Of The Super Foods Workshop Announced Library patrons who attended the Super Foods Workshop presented by Dr. Frank D. Dumont on Aug. 12 were treated to several tasty treats while learning about the dietary importance of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals). Since the class capacity was reached so quickly and a long waitlist formed, the Estes Valley Library and Estes Park Medical Center will partner to bring the program back again on Oct. 5 from 12:30-1:30 p.m. in the Hondius Room.

It can be difficult to determine what to believe about the latest food hero or villain. New diets that praise only eating or completely avoiding certain food groups are constantly bombarding us. Unfortunately many of these fad diets don’t focus on what will benefit your long-term health.

As science has studied the healthgiving properties of foods, individual nutrients have been identified, reproduced and studied.

“What we are starting to appreci-

ate is that in any given food there is a whole constellation of nutrients ─ some that we’ve identified and can measure and some that we don’t even know exist ─ that combine to make some foods true wonder drugs or super heroes,” said Dr. Dumont.

The key to unmasking super foods is nutrient density. Foods with a high level of nutrients compared to the calories they contain are more nutrient

dense and have health-enhancing properties. During the program Dr. Dumont discussed several super nutrient-dense foods, along with their side-kicks and archenemies. Samples and recipes were also provided.

Registration for the Oct. 5 Super Foods Workshop is now available through the Library’s online calendar. Reserve your spot quickly so Dr. Dumont can help you balance the forces of good and evil in your day-to-day diet.

Cadet Taylor Marshall Presents At The Estes Park Internationale Aviation Club Meeting Cadet Taylor Marshall is the next presenter for the Estes Park Internationale Aviation Club meeting on September 8, 2015. The meeting will be held in the Hondius Room of the Estes Valley Library beginning at 6:30 p.m., and the public is invited to attend. This presentation will be of interest to local Estes Park residents who knew Cadet Marshall as he grew up in Estes Park.

Taylor Marshall was born on September 2, 1994 in Longmont, CO. Taylor is the son of Linda Marshall and grandson of Ron and Jeyneise Dobbins. He grew up in Estes Park and is a graduate of the Class of 2013 from Estes Park High School. Currently, Taylor is a cadet at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO. Just beginning his junior year, Cadet Marshall is a soaring instructor pilot for the 94th flying training squadron. He is also a member of the Soaring Aerobatic Demonstration team which competes nationally. Taylor is majoring in Economics and hopes to attend Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) upon graduation from the Academy.

Prior to attending the Air Force Academy, Marshall attended Estes Park High School where he was a member of the basketball team and numerous clubs.

Marshall was the President of the Student Council, National Honor Society, and Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). As a member of the basketball team, Marshall was an All-State selection his senior season and a league leader in three-point field goals made. He graduated 3rd in his class and received an appointment to the United States Air Force Academy.

Upon completion of basic training and his four degree, Marshall became involved in the soaring community at the Academy. He was selected to upgrade and become a Soaring Instructor pilot.

He and his peers are the youngest instructor pilots in the Air Force. In the spring of his three degree (sophomore) year, Cadet Marshall was selected to the Soaring Aerobatic Demonstration team.

This team competes nationally in Texas and other states while performing aerial demonstrations to spectators at the Academy and at airshows. Cadet 2nd Class (C2C) Marshall has over 110 instructionals and more than 150 flights in the DG1001 glider, commonly known as the TG-16 at the Air Force Academy.

Marshall helps motivate and expose four degrees to pursue an interest in the soaring program and aviation in general. Additionally, he helps train and challenge the current three degrees to become the next batch of soaring instructor pilots at the Academy.

In the future, C2C Marshall hopes to attend Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) after graduation from the United States Air Force Academy. Taylor would like to attend ENJJPT (Euro-Nato Joint

Jet Pilot Training) in Wichita Falls, TX at Sheppard AFB. If possible, Marshall would like to fly something fast and pointy, like the F-16 or F-35, but as long as he is flying he is happy. In his free time, Taylor is working towards completing his Private Pilot’s License, of which he already has 25 hours in a Cessna 172. Moreover, Marshall would like to obtain his Private Glider’s License as well. Marshall will be discussing what Academy life is like, his unique, aerobatic flying experience in gliders, and the challenges that come with being one of the youngest instructor pilots in the Air Force.

Heart Health Update - Learn About Heart Failure Dr. Chad Stoltz To Present Free Program The Town of Estes Park’s Senior Services Division and the Estes Park Medical Center (EPMC) are collaborating to offer a free program on heart health on Wednesday, September 9 at 1:00 p.m. at the Estes Park Senior Center, 220 Fourth Street. No sign up is needed; just drop in. Dr. Chad Stoltz, Cardiologist with the Estes Park Medical Center Specialty Clinic will present this helpful program.

This program will feature key facts and issues related specifically to Heart Failure (HF). Kerrie Hill, EPMC Director of Marketing and Specialty Clinic, shares information about the program, “Unlike a heart attack, Heart Failure (HF) is not just a single episode—it is an ongoing condition that gets worse over time.

Having heart failure means your heart isn't pumping blood as well as it should.

In some cases, your heart can then become enlarged because it has to work extra hard. Many things can cause HF, including damage to the heart muscle from a heart attack or high blood pressure. Learn more about signs and symptoms of heart failure as well as how to manage this condition.”

Dr. Stoltz received his Doctor of Medicine from the University of Nebraska, and completed his residency at the University of Nevada. He went on to complete his Fellowship at the University of Wisconsin Medical Center. Dr. Stoltz has been part of the EPMC Specialty Clinic since October 2007. He serves as the Cardiac Clinic Medical Director.

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.

IT AIN’T OVER UNTIL IT’S OVER An old story made the rounds years ago. It told about two farmers who had similar plots of ground located near one another in a southern state. One farmer was very active in his spiritual, church life. Every Sunday morning he and his family would leave their farm and farm duties and head for town to attend worship services. The other farmer was a man whose whole life seemed to be centered around his farm. He would arise early each morning and work his land and till his crops. On the weekends it was the same. He would arise early on Sunday morning and carry on his crop and farm duties, stopping only to wave at his neighbor as he and his family drove past on their way to church services. At summer’s end the two farmers were comparing the results of their farming efforts during the year. The church-going farmer had a respectable crop but it fell far short of the great results that his neighbor enjoyed. His neighbor took great pride in his success and great pleasure in suggesting that if his neighbor had spent Sunday working his crops perhaps he would have greater results in September. His spiritual neighbor quietly responded, “God doesn’t pay all His debts in September.”

I couldn’t help think of that story as I read and heard, as you did, news reports about the Thomas Holmes and the Dexter Lewis trials and sentences. There are many who believe that their crimes warranted a death sentence, after all, didn’t the Bible lay down some principles for judges and magistrates, calling for: “If anyone takes the life of a human being, he must be put to death.” (Leviticus 24:20) and “Whoever sheds the blood of a man, by man shall his blood be shed.” (Genesis 9:6)?

However, we know that on many occasions, including our own recent atrocities, that principle has not been applied. So, what do we do if we feel disappointment or frustration in seeing people commit horrific crimes and then feel that they do not have to pay the ultimate price?

It seems to me that one of the best things for us to do is to remember the words of the dedicated farmer in our first illustration…’God doesn’t pay all His debts in August’. There are many who feel that these men have ‘gotten off the hook’ to some degree, despite the tremendous pain and loss they have caused. Perhaps that ‘escaped’ feeling was reflected in the facial expression of one of the defendants as he heard the sentence, an expression that has haunted victims’ families. So, what do we say to families of the victims and the many in our society who wonder about the state of our ‘justice’ system?

All of us need to remember that there is a ‘day of reckoning’ coming for all who have lived on the earth. Paul wrote: “We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, whether good or bad. Knowing the terror of the Lord, we persuade men.” (II Corinthians 5:10,11) In the Old Testament a question was asked, “Will not the Judge of all earth do right?” And He will! That truth was what caused an unbeliever, C.S. Lewis, to become a believer. His thought: “Life isn’t fair. That being true, there must be a time when all injustices will be made right.” An inspired writer, Paul, wrote: “beloved, do not avenge yourselves, rather give place to wrath; for it is written, ‘Vengeance is Mine. I will repay.”

(Romans 11:19) And God will repay. It won’t necessarily be in August or ???, but He will make all things right. May God help us to put aside any angry thoughts and trust Him. Bob

Program At The Baldpate Inn On Coins, Tokens And Medals Of Colorado

Join us at The Baldpate Inn on September 9th at 7:00 p.m. for, “A Modest Colorado Collection” presented by part time local resident and coin expert, John Barber.

A focused collection of coins, tokens, and medals of Colorado traces the development of the Centennial State from territorial days, through the gold rush, and into the modern era. Specimens to be shown and discussed reveal economic trends in the region and the nation, the impacts of settlement and statehood, and touch on the foundation of Colorado’s current boom.

John’s presentation highlights his family involvement in Estes Park since the town’s earliest days. In fact, it was Grandmother Hazel Baldwin which started John’s passion for numismatic discovery. The collection has been formed over a 50 year sustained effort by a collector who grew up in Cheyenne and now seasonally shuttles between homes in Estes Park and Houston. His wife Eve has been an enthusiastic supporter of the effort.

Though some of the pieces to be shown are of museum quality, the talk does not assume the audience is seasoned numismatists. Folks who enjoy art, economics, and history will come away with new understanding of the coinage we use today and the interesting background of important earlier issues, both failed and triumphant.

Computer Savvy Typist Wanted Wanted: A computer savvy typist who can help type the final copy of a textbook. Please call 970-480-1299 and ask for Rich.

Labor Day Arts And Crafts Show

Did you know that the Labor Day Weekend Arts & Crafts Show has been a part of Estes Park’s history for over 30 years? That’s right. Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary began sponsoring it back in 2009, but at one time, the volunteer fire department sponsored it for many years as a fundraiser for fire equipment.

Again on this Labor Day weekend Bond Park will be filled with over 100 booths featuring a variety of hand-crafted items. You will see paintings and drawings, jewelry, metal work, clothing and tapestry bags, gourmet pantry items, home decor, wood carvings, doll clothes and toys, pottery, glass and more. As you stroll through the tents, you will see one-of-a-kind pieces that would be great for hostess gifts and birthday gifts. Additionally, the Arts & Crafts Show is a great opportunity for holiday shopping.

Admission is free, and the hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday & Sunday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday. This year 20% of our vendors are brand new! So stop and by and visit your favorite vendors and meet the new ones.

All of this would not be possible without the generous support from individuals and from our local business community in the form of sponsorships. The proceeds from this show and from Autumn Gold: Festival of Bands, Brats and Beer go directly to supporting local community charities, our schools and outstanding students in the form of scholarships.

Our sponsors know that their dollars will go back into the community to: Crossroads Ministry, EVICS, EPMC Foundation, Restorative Justice, The Learning Place, Healing Waters, Honor Flight, Boys and Girls Club of Larimer Co., Cri-

sis Advocates of Estes Valley, Partners Mentoring Youth and more……plus college scholarships for Estes Park’s most promising students!

Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary appreciates the generous hearts of our sponsors.

You will see their names and logos on banners in the EP News and the Trail Gazette. If you see one of our sponsors around town this weekend, please join us in expressing gratitude for their support.

Goodguys 18th Colorado Nationals The Goodguys Rod & Custom Association returns to the Ranch Events Complex for the 18th edition of the Goodguys Colorado Nationals, September 11 13.The front range landscape is about to explode with colorful and gleaming hot rods, customs, trucks and classic cars.

Making its return on a new weekend, this Full Throttle Fun event is geared towards classic American automobile enthusiasts. What started in March of 1983 as a one day “Get-Together” for California hot rodders has blossomed into a worldwide association of car enthusiasts born out of one man’s passion.

At the Goodguys 18th Colorado Nationals, fans will get a close up glimpse of just how eclectic the modern day hot rodding scene is though in spirit – the Goodguys core message is unchanged after 32 years – having fun with cars. Literally thousands of 1972 & earlier show cars glistening with candy colors will sprawl throughout the scenic grounds of The Ranch, each car owner taking extreme pride in polishing and showing their entry. Currently, there are pre-72 cars and trucks pre-registered from 24 US states and Canada including Alberta, Canada, Arkansas, Arizona, California,

Colorado, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

The Goodguys AutoCross racing continues to provide thrill seekers with that true racing experience! The shrill sound of rubber meeting pavement will fill the air with excitement as competitors in the Goodguys AutoCross, a hi-adrenaline electronically timed vehicle speed & agility course, battle it out in a weekend long fastest-car-wins contest of speed & skill. The AutoCross course will be alive with competition all weekend, hosting the Street Machine of the Year and Street Rod of the Year competitors on Friday, plus the Sponsor Shootout! Also at this event, we will select the fastest AutoCrosser to be the competitors from the PPG Nationals to head to Arizona in November for the Duel in the Desert!

Then there’s the manufacturer and vendor exhibits, including multi-million dollar custom big rig tractor trailers (a show in and of themselves) offering hiperformance parts and accessories to budding hot rodders and do-it-your-

selfers. Having the chance to interact directly with manufacturers has long been an appealing aspect of Goodguys events.

Throw in a giant used car parts swap meet and car corral (turnkey classic cars for sale) and it’s literally auto-utopia for any red blooded American with motor oil in their veins.

Goodguys takes their car-lovin’ customers so serious there’s even a model car program sponsored by Revell that sends the little one’s home with their very own model kit forging big dreams to one day come back to the show with a life sized version. The make n’ take sessions will be held on Saturday at 1 p.m. and Sunday at 11 a.m.

Back by popular demand, the Goodguys Nitro Thunderfest dragster exhibition will bring old school drag racing to life!

The Nitro Thunderfest has become a tradition at the Goodguys 18th Colorado Nationals! Watch as 6 front-motored, nitro burnin’ vintage top fuel dragsters and funny cars fire and roar to life! Drag racing enthusiasts young and old will enjoy

the “cackle” of these resurrected pieces of automotive racing history! Bring your earplugs and join us for this blast of racing history! Nitro Thunderfest times are Friday at 1 p.m. and Saturday at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.

The Goodguys 18th Colorado Nationals event gates are open Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. General admission is $20, kids 7-12 $6, 6 and under are free. Spectator parking is free. Tickets can be purchased at The Ranch all three days of the event. $17 discount tickets can be purchased on www.good-guys.com until 11:59 p.m. on September 10.

12th Annual John Denver Tribute Concert This Weekend!

Brad Fitch and The TropiCowboy Band will present their twelfth annual John Denver Tribute Concert in Estes Park this Saturday, Sept. 5 at the YMCA of the Rockies’ Ruesch Auditorium. This concert, featuring classic songs from the leg-

endary Denver, will benefit the Estes Park Lions Club charities. Funds raised will go to organizations for the sight and hearing impaired, community social services and local scholarships.

“Part of the fun of this concert for me is

hearing people in the audience sing along with us. John Denver’s music means so much to so many,” Fitch said. “We will be performing his best-known hits along with some of his loved but lesser-known songs (for the true John Denver aficionados).”

Page 25

“I am blessed to perform with an incredible band that interprets John Denver’s songs with both reverence and a whole lot of fun.” Fitch said. “I will be joined by renowned fiddler Johnny Neill, who’s been part of my band since 2006.

Also with us this year will be Chris Kennison, playing pedal steel, dobro, banjo and lead guitar. Chris was my band-mate at the Arizona and Rocky Mountain Oprys. Our drummer is Jeff Kennison, Chris’s brother, who is a well-known percussionist from the Denver area. My sister, Melinda Morris, will be singing with me and her son Eamonn Morris, will be performing on bass and cello.”

Advance tickets are available at Macdonald Book Shop, Hobert Office Services, the Estes Park Visitor Center or on line at www.estesparklionsclub.org.

Doors will open and tickets will also be available at the Ruesch Auditorium beginning at 4 p.m. the day of the show.

The opening act will be Reintarnation, a popular bluegrass band from Estes Park.

They will begin at 5 p.m.

Plein Air Rockies - A Festival Of Outdoor Painting

Mayors Award “Evening Light on Longs Peak” by Erik Koeppel 14 x 24, oil.

Plein Air Rockies - A festival of outdoor painting is on exhibit at the Cultural Arts Council’s Fine Art Gallery at 423 W. Elkhorn Ave. 34 artists from around Colorado and from various other states visited our area and painted from August 8 to the 20th. Their efforts are on display now until October 25. A number of the artists will be returning to add to their collection of work with our Fall Colors Paint Out, which will run from September 17 to October 2 with an Opening Reception scheduled for October 10th. The public is invited to visit the gallery and view these beautiful works of art. The Gallery is open daily from 12-5.

The Cultural Arts Council also announces the next Exhibit “Abstractivity”

which will open on October 31 and run until November 22nd. Call for entries are available on our website:www.estesarts.com or can be requested by email: info@estesarts.com or by contacting us at 970-586-9203. It is an Abstract Art Exhibit…it can be a painting, photograph, or sculpture that does not depict a person, place or thing in the natural world – even in an extremely distorted or exaggerated way. Therefore, the subject of the work is based on what you see: colors, shapes, brushstrokes, size, scale and in some cases, the process. It’s freedom of expression. Looking for artists, sculptures and photographers who wish to express themselves through abstraction.

If you are a bilingual employee in Estes Park, you have a better chance of getting a raise or a promotion. As a parent of bilingual kids, you can understand what they are saying to each other in English. In other words, you can participate in the predominantly English-speaking community of Estes Park. You can talk with your kids' teachers and join the parent-teacher organization. You can feel confident enough to order a coffee at a cafe. You can chat with your neighbors. For all of these reasons, local workers are eager to improve their English communication skills.

One on One/Uno a Uno, a practical and affordable English language program for adults, currently has a long waiting list of students and needs more volunteer tutors.

Prior teaching experience or ability to speak another language is not required.

Training and teaching materials are provided as well as on-going support. The volunteer meets twice a week for 90 minutes with the student and commits to completing one level of the curriculum, which usually takes four-six months. This program is modeled after the highly successful, Boulder-based "Intercambio Uniting Communities," which has trained thousands of volunteer tutors and ESL students of many nationalities in Boulder County since 2000.

This program features flexibility of tutoring schedules; an engaging, interactive curriculum; and a wonderful opportunity for Estes Park residents with differing cultural backgrounds to get to know each other.

Voice Lessons Now Available From Pilar Montaine At Elephant Rock Studios!

What sets Pilar apart from other voice teachers is that she has the ability to listen to the vocal "plumbing" and devise a technical/emotional pathway to unlock the voice.

Pilar said, “I can work with any age and any level of skill. I was known in California for being able to help people even with pitch difficulty and with stage fright, as well as being able to imbue the singing with full emotional expression. I can help you be in your body while singing. I can assist Pilar Montaine is the owner of Elephant Rock Studios who is now offering voice lessons to anyone interested. Her studio is located in Glen Haven, CO, on nineteen acres in the middle of nature and in the vortex of the Rocky Mountains.

Elephant Rock Studios is a facility fully equipped for training, recording, and performing. It is a sacred and exquisite space with hiking trails everywhere you look.

Pilar tells us that she has been a singer/songwriter, flute and voice teacher for over thirty years, performing, recording, and teaching, mostly in California.

Pilar said, “Love brought me to Colorado, and it turns out that Glen Haven is my heart's home. I knew I loved the mountains, because even in California I always loved them, but I had no idea how much I love snow!

“When I moved here I decided to build a studio, where I could have live performances as well as record and teach. The Flood of 2013 derailed my plans for awhile, but now I am very happy to be home and back on track.”

Pilar was born in Cuernavaca, Mexico - of American expatriate parents. She was reared in L.A. and Mexico, and left home for San Francisco at fifteen. She began singing and playing her flute at the Renaissance Faires and it all seemed to flow from there. She said, “I was busy singing at clubs in The Bay Area, and developing a following while learning my vocal and songwriting craft. I was known also for my teaching, and even last February, when I went back to do a show at the Marin County Venue, The Fenix, the audience was filled with fans as well as students.”

full professionals who just need a tune up, as well as the timid shower singer who wants to break free.”

Pilar stated, “I encourage all kinds of people to come to Elephant Rock Studios for study. The professional who flies in for a week or two - as well as any local, of any age, who loves music and wants to explore. I am also open to giving a free introductory lesson to anyone who wishes to try them out.”

“I would also like to find a venue somewhere in Estes Park where I can regularly sing my own songs and develop a following. My music is very passionate and real. Very conscious and alive. Mine is a personal journey of a Woman of the 21st century.”

Pilar wanted to add, “My heart is in the right place and I love music. I am willing to travel to teach and perform and am also available for private parties.

Having been an artist my whole life, I have found that living in the physicality of these mountains has made me a more whole and complete woman. I would like to bring this perspective to my community.”

Russian Thistle • Red & white flowers are inconspicuous among spiny bracts on the upper stem • Stems are often red or purple striped • Leaves are slender with a pointed tip • Plants become increasingly rough and spiny as they grow

Why should you be concerned about it?

Russian Thistle can poison livestock. The weeds displace native plants, and dried tumbleweeds clog gullies, clutter low areas, and back up behind fences and buildings. Russian Thistle competes with Cheatgrass to take over the west. Russian Thistle can be found at the Downtown Visitor’s Center, around the Fairgrounds, and in yards. The weed’s botanical name is Salsola tragus.

PREVENTION Russian Thistle is an annual plant that can be pulled and bagged. Since the seeds only last 2-3 years, it’s possible to remove all plants in an area by pulling and bagging them. Drop off weed-filled paper bags for free disposal on Mon, Weds, and Fridays from 8-3 at 666 Elm Street, up the road from the Recycle/Transfer Station. If you mow, please use an attached mower bag to collect and dispose of clippings so that weeds aren’t spread.

For help identifying weeds on your property, call Marcia @ 586-6092 or George @ 586-5022. For more information and to report weeds out of town limits, please call the Larimer County Natural Resources @ 498-5769 or CSU Extension @ 491-7568. To report weeds within town limits, contact Linda Hardin @ 577-3723.

Paper FAQ’s and Recycling Submitted by: Jana Larsen, League of Women Voters of Estes Park & Community Recycling Committee

Did you know that a stack of recycled newspaper 6 feet high saves one Bodee 35-foot tall tree? Or that each ton of recycled newspaper saves 17 trees? Great news for the continued health of our forests! So what is done with this recycled newspaper? It is used for newsprint; paper products (shoe boxes, backings for writing tablets, etc.); cellulose insulation for home attics; building materials such as wallboard, roofing felt and ceiling tiles; and many other products too numerous to mention here! Obviously, recycling your newspapers is an extremely easy step YOU can take to make your contribution toward saving the environment for future generations of people, as well as trees. Remember the 3 R’s - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. For more information on recycling, please visit our website www.recycleestes.org; join our Facebook group Recycle! and like and share our Facebook page. As Ambassador Bodee, The Recycling Dog, reminds: ONLY YOU CAN RECYCLE!

American Legion Post 119 Update And Plea The capital campaign completed in 2013 and 2014 resulted in donation of $65,000. We are close to completing the two entrance sides of the building exterior renovation and the end of our funds.

Donations from Park Supply for materials and Allenspark Construction for labor have stretched your cash donations.

All windows and doors have been replaced; the side entrance was redesigned and replaced. It is now handicap accessible. The siding on the south and west faces of the building has been replaced.

Repairs have also been made to the west face soffits and fascia. These areas were the most critical in our overall plan.

Fundraising events and daily operations at the Legion Club have resulted in approximately $5,000.00 going directly to the building fund while improving operations and continuing the Legion family’s support to other non-profits.

Now comes the hard part. Post 119

needs your help again. Our roof is in serious need of replacement and the reaming two sides of the building need to be sided. The winning bids for these repairs are $69,200 for the removal and replacement of the roof and $58,800 for the siding on the north and east sides.

Activities at the Legion have increased and we anticipate the trend to continue when the entire building is presentable.

Each activity and social event brings funds into our accounts. When the building is complete these funds will be returned to the community in accordance with our mission.

The community’s past and continued support of the American Legion Renovation is greatly appreciated by our members and those we are able to help.

Thank you again.

Dottie Allen Finance and Operations Manager on behalf of the Estes Park Post 119, American Legion

“Team Small But Mighty” Thanks Contributors For Their Support Dear Editor, “Team Small But Mighty” of the 2015 Estes Park Relay for Life would like to thank everyone who participated in this year's Relay and especially the wonderful people who contributed to “Team Small But Mighty's” success as the 2015 top fundraising team.

Relay for Life is an important fundraising event for the American Cancer Society. This year Estes Park's Relay raised nearly $43,000 and “Team Small But Mighty” is grateful to have contributed more than $21,500 to that total. This money raised, as well as money from other Relays across the nation, goes directly to the American Cancer Society to expand and deliver more programs, re-

search and services to people. Thanks to advances in early detection and treatment more than 13 million American cancer survivors are alive today. That number is growing however there is more work to do to find a cure for this dreaded disease.

Thank you to all the contributors to “Team Small But Mighty's” Letter of Hope. Your generosity helps to create the fuel for the American Cancer Society's mission and the “Hope” that mission brings to all of us.

Most Sincerely “Team Small But Mighty” Sue & Jerry Bergeron, Stacey & Robin Harding, Bonnie & Bemie Kershner

The Estes Park Western Heritage Foundation, which produces the Windows to the West Art Show and Sale has joined forces with the elite art shows of Cheyenne Frontier Days, National Western Coors, Greeley Stampede, and the Loveland Governors art show. The purpose of this alliance is to discover ways these shows can come together to help make Colorado and Wyoming better known for its rich heritage of both Western art and art in general. J’Ann Wright, a Director with the Western Heritage Foundation, stated that, “It was exciting to be in a room with individuals who have so much experience producing successful art events. I think everyone in the room was interested in making this a go-to region for art. I believe that, by working together, we will be able to find new and innovative ways to promote and support art in the region and in Estes Park.”

The meeting was held at the Greeley Stampede Office and, while the purpose of the meeting was primarily for representatives from the five shows to get to know each other, almost immediately ideas began to flow. One of these ideas was the possible creation of a “Mountain States Art Trail.” Affiliated shows along the trail (the five initial shows and others that may join

later) would have host activities, unique to their area and shows, which would interest collectors. There would be advantages for collectors to attend as many of the shows as possible.

Another idea that was discussed was a “Young Guns” program for young professionals that are just becoming collectors.

The Coors show already has such a program and Cheyenne is developing one.

Certainly, Estes Park would be a terrific destination for the Young Guns to visit.

Groups of young collectors would travel by bus or car to Estes Park for an afternoon at the Windows to the West Art Show and then be introduced to other activities in Estes.

How these ideas develop remains to be seen. What is exciting and unique is that a group of art show managers from Colorado and Wyoming have come together to create a regional group dedicated to advancing the knowledge and appreciation of Western art. Wright, who is also a Rooftop Rodeo Committee member, said “We have a rodeo that stands with the best in the business now we have an art show that is working shoulder to shoulder with some of the best art shows and that is really exciting.”

Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Halloween At The Stanley Hotel 2015 The Historic Stanley Hotel has had a long running tradition of throwing some of the most sought after Halloween parties in the country and has officially announced their “Nights of Fright” Halloween events for 2015.

Celebrating the literary and ghostly character of the Stanley Hotel, “3 Nights of Fright” kicks off with the deliciously suspenseful Murder Mystery Dinner on Friday October 23, 2015. The event will feature a top theater act and an elegant 4-course meal in the magnificent and notoriously haunted MacGregor Ballroom. The horrific fun continues on Saturday, October 24th, with the hotel’s flagship event “The Shining Ball.” This can’t miss “see and be seen” event has become famous for the partygoers’ incredibly detailed and inspired costumes ranging from Shining-themed custom garb to other-worldly, nightmarish creations. This amazing night of music, food, drink, horror and dancing is Estes Park’s most coveted costume party. Rounding out the week on Saturday October 31st, The Stanley Hotel will be hosting the Halloween Masquerade Party, which is Northern Colorado’s wildest Halloween costume party bringing in guests from across the country to experience the haunted debauchery that

only Halloween night at the Stanley can define.

The Stanley Hotel has traditionally sold out these events within days of releasing tickets, so this year to meet growing demand, The Stanley Hotel is making Halloween at the Stanley bigger than ever before.

The flagship event “The Shining Ball” and the popular “Halloween Masquerade Party” will be taking place in the most active paranormal site in the Stanley Historic District, the Concert Hall. The historic Concert Hall will provide an opportunity for an additional 100 guests to join the best Halloween party in the country.

"Every year our goal is to exceed our guests’ expectation, and this year by holding these legendary events in the Concert Hall and partnering with a professional design team we are planning a truly immersive haunted party experience that will set the bar for years to come,” said General Manager, David Ciani.

Tickets for all events went on sale September 1st for general public.

The Stanley Hotel: Famous for its old world charm, The Stanley Hotel boasts spectacular views in every direction and is less than six miles from Rocky Mountain National Park. Multi-mil-

lion dollar renovations have restored this 155-guest room hotel to its original grandeur. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and member of Historic Hotels of America; and only an hour away from Denver, it is an ideal destination for a Colorado getaway.

The Stanley Hotel opened in 1909 and it was just two years later that chief housekeeper Elizabeth Wilson was injured in an explosion while she was lighting acetylene lanterns in room 217.

She survived the incident, but guests have reported sensing her presence in the room ever since. Other guests have reported lights flicking on and off, doors opening and closing and laughter and footsteps when no one else is around in other rooms and facilities throughout the hotel. The Stanley Hotel is consistently ranked the #1 haunted hotel in the world.

EP Oratorio Chorus Starts Rehearsal At New Time

Page 37

Estes Park Parents as Teachers Program Presents:

“Encouraging Creativity in the Home” Sep 10, 5:30-7:30pm FREE for Families With Young Children (ages 0-5) Community Church of the Rockies, 1700 Brodie Ave

Family dinner, parent/child activity, followed by adult discussion; childcare provided.

Family Night!

Encouraging Creativity in the Home!

Rehearsals begin September 20th and 21st for the chorus and orchestra of the Oratorio Society of Estes Park. Chorus rehearsals are on Sunday nights, beginning Sept. 20th, at a new time – 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. – at Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran Church, 2000 Ptarmigan Trail.

“We think the new rehearsal time of 4:00 p.m. (instead of the old 6:00 p.m. start time) gives chorus members a better chance to socialize together on Sunday evenings after rehearsal,” said OSEP Musical Director Kathy Bowers. “It just seems a more convenient time, especially as we head into the winter months.”

Orchestra rehearsals are still on Monday nights, beginning Sept. 21st, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, 1700 Brodie Ave. The Oratorio Society will be rehearsing Randall Thompson’s “The Nativity According to Saint Luke.” The performance is scheduled for December 4th and 5th at Estes Park High School.

“The Nativity According to Saint Luke” is what Thompson called a “musical drama of the Nativity, and what should be thought of as a Christmas Pageant.” It was composed in 1961 in honor of the 200th anniversary of the dedication of

Christ Church in Cambridge, MA. At the time, the Harvard Crimson said it is “scored for a chamber orchestra, organ, chorus, and the figures of the Pageant, is unadorned, often almost spare, and calmly joyous. A bustlingly rustic fugue hurries the shepherds towards Bethlehem, where they celebrate the Nativity in an awkward but loving dance. Mary croons a soft lullaby, and Jesus sleeps contentedly by her side.”

Bowers also hopes to include some local members of Ballet Renaissance in the Oratorio’s performance. Although the Thompson composition requires only a chamber orchestra, Bowers said the orchestra can always use more string players, whether you’re a professional musician, a student, or a retiree who wants to brush up on his/her earlier intermediate or advanced skills.

Anyone who loves to sing, possesses a clear and in-tune voice, and can make a commitment to attend rehearsals regularly is welcome to join the chorus. Auditions are not necessary except for the soloists. The Thompson work is replete with solo opportunities.

For more information go online to www.osep.info and to get on an e-mail list for notifications, please call Kathy Bowers at 970-586-5193 or Jackie Reed at 970-586-1022.

There will also be a parent - child activity: A scavenger hunt !

From Work To Bible Study An Easy Transition

Community Bible Study makes it easy this year for working folks in Estes Park to go straight from work to bible study without having to go home for dinner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re providing sandwiches and a beverage for workers so they can come straight to bible study at 5:30 p.m.,â&#x20AC;? said Robbi Telfer, Teaching Director of the Evening Class, which begins classes Monday, Sept. 14th, at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church., 920 Big Thompson Ave (US 34). â&#x20AC;&#x153;We moved our start time back from 7:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and to a more central location at the Catholic Church in hopes of attracting more working people,â&#x20AC;? added Telfer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we also realize folks are hungry when they get off work. So now, they can come directly to bible study. We provide the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fix inâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to make a sandwich. Help themselves to water, coffee, tea, or hot chocolate and settle in as we begin our study.â&#x20AC;?

Community Bible Study is a non-denominational study of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word. Estes Park has two CBS classes. The Evening Class, which meets every Monday evening at Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. It is for men, women, married couples, and teens. The Day Class meets every Tuesday morning, beginning Sept. 15th, from 9:15 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. at Mountain View Bible Fellowship at the corner of Peak View and Highway 7. The Day Class is primarily for women and registered children (ages 0-11).

CBS is a combination of lecture, small group discussion, and home study questions so attendees can really dig into the

scriptures.

Both classes this year will be studying the gospel of Matthew. Day Class Teaching Director Katie Soliday says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Matthew shows us repeatedly that God desires a personal relationship with His people through His call and devotion to His disciples. He reveals the depth of His

love through the plan of salvation that culminated in Christ's death and resurrection.â&#x20AC;?

Estes Park CBS Classes meet on a weekly basis with time off at Christmas and during Spring Break and wrap up by the first week of May. The registration fee is $35 for the entire year. Study guides are given to each person. Scholarships are available.

For more information on the Evening Class, contact Robbi Telfer at 586-5260 or Linda Wold at 577-8585. For the Day Class, call Allison Ingram at 481-6413 or Katie Soliday at 586-9576.

George Paul Guthrie September 19, 1928 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; August 31, 2015 George Paul Guthrie died at his home in Estes Park after a short illness on August 31, 2015. George was born to John Paul and Marjory (Wheeler) Guthrie in Cleveland, Ohio.

He graduated from Greenhills High School in the Cincinnati area, went to William Penn College in Oskaloosa, Iowa where he met Margaret Laughlin. The two were married on September 15, 1948 and immediately settled in Chicago where George obtained his A.B., B.D., and Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. His first teaching job was at Pacific University, in Forest Grove, Oregon, where he taught from 1957-60. He returned to University of Chicago to finish his Ph.D. dissertation. In the fall of 1962 he started teaching in the Religion and Philosophy Department at the University of Toledo. His favorite courses were those on Modern (20th Century) Continental Thought that included the existentialists Sartre, Camus, Merleau Ponty, Heidigger, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, but he also taught the earlier philosophers going back to Plato and Aristotle.

Several students have kept contact with him over the years and as one expressed it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a wonderful teacher, and not only taught me how to understand the modern world we live in but he helped me through some very difficult times in my life...â&#x20AC;?

George was an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church, but was in the teaching ministry rather than pastoral. In Oregon he discovered a love of mountains, and became a member

of a climbing club. He also loved climbing in the Tetons, and later climbed about 26 of the 14ers in Colorado. He and Margaret were members of the Trailmasters hiking group in Estes Park for several years, and members of the Summer Residents Association when they had a cabin in the Big Thompson Canyon. In 1990 they sold the cabin and bought the house in Estes Park. Discovering that there were many retired professionals in Estes Park George invited several professors, ministers, and university presidents to their home to discuss mutual interests. This developed into The Group, later becoming the Religion and Philosophy Group which has continued to meet every 3rd Wednesday at the Senior Center. Over the years he has presented more than 30 papers to this group on Old and New Testament themes.

George loved classical music and sponsored several pianists that performed at the Stanley in Sunday concerts. He also loved art, enjoyed mystery writers, and often came up with astounding knowledge in a wide range of topics. He loved to engage in conversations with almost anyone, and those at Med-X often talked to him as he rode the bicycle. For many years he and Margaret played tennis with a group that came out to the courts nearly every morning.

George is survived by his wife Margaret, son Steven and wife Jan Pycha Guthrie, of Lock Haven, PA., son Mark Guthrie of Portland, OR, sister Joanne Henderson of Dayton, OH, brothers-in-law Don Laughlin of Iowa City, IA and Gerald Laughlin of Pampa, TX. A memorial service will be held at the Allnutt Chapel, 1320 Graves Ave., Estes Park, on Tuesday, September 8 at 2:00 p.m. Refreshments will be served afterward.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Rocky Mountain Conservancy in care of Allnutt Funeral Service 1302 Graves Ave. Estes park, CO 80517. See www.allnutt.com to send a message to Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family.

JoAnn Petersen (nee Pospichal) July 27, 2015. Born to Prokop and Alba Pospichal of Omaha, NE, JoAnn spent her childhood alternating between the city life of Omaha and summers on the family farm.

In 1945, JoAnn took the train alone, to a college she had never seen.

Her years at MacMurray College in Jacksonville, Illinois provided her with a teaching degree and close friendships she would treasure for the rest of her life.

She returned to Omaha to teach at South High. It was there that she met a North High teacher, David K. Petersen, at a teachers' convention. They married in 1955, and had three children – Joan, Janet and Jack.

The family made its home in Omaha where Dave continued to teach, but educational opportunities during long summer breaks made road trips a part of life. Entire summers were spent at Brown University (Providence, R.I.) and UCLA (Los Angeles).

Upon retirement, Dave and JoAnn's wanderlust blossomed. They traveled to Germany, Alaska and Hawaii, and attended many Elderhostels. They also established homes in Green Valley, Arizona and Estes Park, Colorado (at the

Good Samaritan Community), as well as the Meridien Community of Englewood, Colorado.

Wherever she went, JoAnn embraced new friends, new skills and new experiences. She loved to read, paint, entertain, play bridge and dance with Dave.

She also served through her churches (First United Methodist Church of Omaha and Green Valley Community Church of Green Valley, AZ).

JoAnn was a consummate storyteller, always happy to beckon a visitor to her side by saying, "Come sit by me, and we'll talk..." Even as dementia robbed her of so many of the abilities that had given her pleasure, she did retain her ability to tell a story, regaling family, friends and strangers with tales of her life.

JoAnn leaves behind her husband of 60 years, Dave; her children and their spouses: Joan and Fred Burtzos, Janet and Kevin Muhm, and Jack and Debbie Petersen (Rice); six grandchildren: Alex, Ben, Jocelyn, Colin, Kailey and Grant, as well as a great-grandson, Bradley; nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Bob, and a host of cousins and friends who were dear to her.

A memorial service is planned for October in Estes Park, Colorado. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorials may be made to MacMurray College, First United Methodist Church of Omaha or Green Valley Community Church in JoAnn’s name.
