Radon Awareness Program

Radon is a naturally occurring, odorless, invisible, tasteless gas that is dispersed in outdoor air, but which can reach harmful levels when trapped in buildings. Radon comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. The risk of developing lung cancer comes from breathing radon gas that seeps undetected into your home from the soil through foundation cracks, dirt floors, loose fitting pipes, slab joints or block walls.

Every house is different. Only individual testing can determine if your home may have a radon problem.

Measuring radon levels in your home is simple and inexpensive. Plan to attend the radon awareness program on September 12, 2017, at the Estes Valley Library, Wasson Room, from noon to 1:00 p. m. to learn more about radon and receive a short-term radon test kit to test your home.

Pre-registration is required by contacting Karen Crumbaker at Colorado State University Larimer County Extension at (970) 498-6003 kcrumbaker@larimer.org or register online at www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0a4fab ab2baafc1-radon

Operation Game Thief Offers $1,000 Reward For Information On Killing Of Two Bears In Estes Park Through Operation Game Thief (OGT), Colorado Parks & Wildlife is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the filing of charges in the killing of two bears in Estes Park.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife is working with the Estes Park Police Department seeking information concerning the killing of two black bears in the 500 block of Ponderosa Drive within the Town of Estes Park, Colorado. The incident occurred on the evening of August 22 or early morning of August 23.

The first bear succumbed quickly due to its injuries and the second bear was found dead on the morning of the 24th.

Both bears died in close proximity and it is likely that the deaths are related. Both agencies are working collaboratively to solve the crime.

Funded through private donations, OGT provides rewards for information that assists Colorado Parks and Wildlife

in solving fish and wildlife related crimes. Generally rewards on cases involving big game pay $500, however due to the flagrant nature of this violation involving two bears, the reward has been enhanced. Information and tips may be submitted by calling the OGT TIP Line at 1877-265-6648. Reporting parties may remain anonymous.

CPW is an enterprise agency, relying primarily on license sales, state parks fees and registration fees to support its operations, including: 41 state parks and more than 350 wildlife areas covering approximately 900,000 acres, management of fishing and hunting, wildlife watching, camping, motorized and non-motorized trails, boating and outdoor education.

CPW's work contributes approximately $6 billion in total economic impact annually throughout Colorado.

Numerous Incidents In Rocky Mountain National Park On Friday morning, August 25, park rangers were notified by a ranger on a backcountry patrol that a 54 year old male hiker (hometown unknown) had suffered a leg injury above Black Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. Additional rangers were sent to assist.

Team members, in addition to five bystanders, helped move the man to a nearby alpine meadow where the man was flown at 3:45 p. m. by St. Anthony Flight for Life to Boulder Community Hospital.

On Saturday, August 26, rangers were notified of a deceased man a few yards from the Harbison Picnic Area on the west side of the park. The man has been identified as Michael McQuay, 71, of Estes Park, Colorado, and Laurel, Maryland. The investigation is ongoing, however the death is believed to be from natural causes.

On Sunday, August 27, rangers responded to a 22 year old male from Denver, Colorado, who fell approximately 15 feet below the viewing area at Adams Falls. The man suffered numerous serious injuries. Bystanders in the area assisted the man and notified park rangers at 5:45 p.m.

A number of agencies assisted Rocky Mountain National Park Search and

Rescue Team members with this extensive rescue effort including Grand County Search and Rescue, Grand County Sheriff ’s Department, Grand Lake Fire and Grand County Mountain Medic Response Team.

The man was evacuated via a wheeled litter. Teams reached the East Inlet Trailhead at 8:20 p.m. where he was flown

by Northern Colorado Med Evac to Denver Medical Health Center.

On Monday, August 28, park rangers were notified around 5 p.m. regarding a 62 year old female from Mineral Point, Wisconsin, who fell from a horse near Granite Falls. She was roughly six miles from the Green Mountain Trailhead.

Rocky Mountain Search and Rescue Team members reached the group of horseback riders at approximately 8:30 p. m. Grand County Mountain Medic Response Team also assisted on this incident. Due to the time of day and nature of injury, Search and Rescue Team members stayed with the group, including their horses, overnight. The woman was flown from a nearby meadow the next morning, Tuesday, August 29, by Northern Colorado Med Evac to Medical Center of the Rockies. Search and Rescue Team members reached the trailhead at 1:00 p.m.

Observation Of The Anniversary Of The 9/11/2001 Attack On U.S. Targets On September 11, 2001 the United States experienced a series of attacks on the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington D.C., with a thwarted attempt that crashed in rural Pennsylvania. These attacks killed nearly 3,000 people and injured over 6,000 others. In memory of the lives lost, and in honor of the service provided by emergency first-responders in response to these attacks, American Legion Post 119 in Estes Park invites you to an observation of the anniversary of that occasion.

The event will take place at 5:00 p.m. on Monday September 11, 2017 at the American Legion Hall in Estes Park.

Guest speakers will include representatives from Estes Park first-responder organizations: Erle Collum, Paramedic Supervisor from the Estes Park Medical Services, Corey Pass, Captain from the

Estes Park Police Department, and David Wolf, Fire Chief from the Estes Valley Fire Protection District. Ceremonial observances will include a wreath ceremony memorial performed by the Post 119 Honor Guard, with Taps played by Loren Johnson.

Please join us for this important occasion.

The American Legion is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization that was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. Estes Park’s Post 119 was chartered in 1920 as the local branch of that national organization. It is located at 850 N. St. Vrain Avenue, at the corner of Highways 36 and 7. Veterans and their family members are encouraged to join and support this worthy organization.

On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed, 400 were police officers and firefighters, in the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center in NYC, at the Pentagon building in Washington, D.C., and in a plane crash near Shanksville, PA. 9/11 was not the first terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. A bombing in February of 1993 killed six people.

On any given workday, up to 50,000 employees worked in the WTC twin towers, and an additional 40,000 passed through the complex.

After the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center, the rescue and recovery clean-up of the 1.8 million tons of wreckage from the WTC site took nine months.

Passengers aboard United Flight 93, heard about the previous airplane attacks and attempted to retake control of the plane from hijackers. As a result, the hijackers deliberately crashed the plane in a Pennsylvania field instead of at their unknown target.

The Estes Valley Fire Protection District (EVFPD) Chief Officers and Safety Officers generally respond in their personal vehicles (POV). Fire fighters generally respond to medical calls in their personal vehicles; as this allows for faster response by officers and medical personnel to assess the emergency and provide medical care.

August 28 At 4:52 p.m. an EVFPD officer was paged to a possible illegal burn.

August 29 At 11:05 a.m. the EVFPD was paged to 151 Evergreen Ln to assist the Estes Park Ambulance.

August 30 At 11:29 a.m. the EVFPD was paged to 240 North Ct. to assist the Estes Park Ambulance.

At 7:48 p.m. the EVFPD was paged to 810 MacGregor Ave. to assist the Estes Park Ambulance.

At 9:24 p.m. an EVFPD officer was paged to 698 Bird Circle for a detector activation.

August 31 At 7:10 a.m. the EVFPD was paged to 514 Grand Estates Dr. to assist the Estes Park Ambulance.

and fun.

Once known as a "rag-tag-bag of scalawags," Mason Street band came together three years ago out of a weekly Bluegrass jam. Clark Wright, the selfproclaimed scalliest wag of them all says, "For the first year we didn't even have a name! I'd make up a new band name every week!" Names like "Beardy McGee and the Big Hairy Deal," or "Jay Walker and the Multiple Contusions" were typical.

The band features Jan Peterson on bass, Luke Albright on banjo, Rob Blackburn on guitar, Scott Catalano on mandolin, and Wright on fiddle. These musicians create a solid, hard-driving Bluegrass sound with tight, three-part harmonies

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com We’ve all had enough time by now to mentally and physically prepare for the big trip. I have, anyway. I gassed up, washed and waxed the car, made sure there was air in the tires, topped off the windshield washer fluid, packed emergency supplies, loaded up the trunk and been to the ATM machine. I waved to the neighbors as I pulled away, fearful that I’d never make it back. Then I took a deep breath, shifted into drive and took off to the great unknown: The Estes Park Transit Facility Parking Structure.

And you and I, we survived. Thrived, even.

When they started building the Parking Structure, we gasped as we realized it was definitely going to happen no matter what.

We couldn’t believe its footprint, how oversized it was. How smack dab in the middle of everything it was.

But you know, now that it’s been there awhile, I’ve gotten used to the shape and size of it. As I pull in to park—conveniently avoiding the traffic jam downtown, I notice the hanging pots of flashy flowers, the large urns of cascading blooms, the full logs that mark the entrance, and I think we might have overreacted to that first blocky edifice we saw rising from the former parking lot.

It’s better looking than its neighbor, the power plant, with its web of metal transmission lines and abandoned parking area.

(Certainly someone with expertise in the field can figure out how to make use of that blockaded parking area, or at least beautify it in some way.)

I’ve parked in the new Estes Park Transit Facility Parking Structure three times. The first was a couple of weeks after its official opening on July 14. I went into town one evening with the sole purpose of experiencing the garage in all its garageness. (“Get a life, Thunk” I hear you saying.) I drove all the way to the top and all the way back down, then parked outside and walked around it. It was virtually empty and oh, so clean! There was not a single oil spot anywhere, no gum stuck to the cement, no flattened cigarette butts, no tire marks, candy wrappers, or discarded beer cans. I almost went home to pack a picnic to take back and spread out on the top level, it was so nice.

Instead, I dreamed of hosting a dance up there with a big band playing, strings of lights around the perimeter, candles on the tables, a bar in one corner, and the moun-

tain air cooling us as we danced in our long gowns and tuxedos.

By the third time I parked in the garage this past week, it was obvious people had figured out the advantages of leaving their cars there (for free) and taking the nice stroll along the river— and through the pedestrian tunnel with its super cool twinkling light show—into town.

Of the 412 parking spaces, there were still some available but not on the first two levels. By the end of this weekend’s Longs Peak Scottish-Irish Highland Festival the secret will be out and parking there will become luck of the draw. I’m glad I got to park in our new garage when I didn’t have to jostle for a spot in it.

After my car and I had several parking episodes in our Estes Park Visitor Center parking garage, I made a few observations: • I wonder what the orange construction cones set up just to the north of the entrance are for. I hope they are temporary and not an indication that the Town has already discovered a flaw in the design of the structure.

• When I’ve used the garage I have come from Highway 7 so I could make a right turn into its drive. I don’t know if I would be as fond of parking there if I were coming from the other direction and had to make a left-hand turn in front of oncoming traffic to access it. The Town website states that there may be a traffic signal installed there in the future.

• In other garages, when you drive to the top floor, the traffic pattern has you continue in a forward direction, circling back down to the exit. In our new garage the top floor is a dead end so when you reach the top, you have to shift into reverse, back up, turn around, and return the way you came.

There is no designated turn-around area to accommodate this maneuver, which may cause some headaches. But it’s a whole lot better than trying to find a parking spot while at a standstill with the other 1,327,761 vehicles that drove into and out of Estes Park in the months of June and July.

Whiskey Summit Coming To Estes Park!

Do you sometimes wonder what people like about drinks made with whiskey, gin, vodka, rum, or tequila? Possibly you have one drink you prefer, but really don't know much about other distilled spirits. Or, you may be a connoisseur of fine spirits, always looking for that perfect expression. In any of these instances, the first annual Whiskey Summit on October 7, 2017, is the place you'll want to be.

Based on the great success of the Whiskey Warm Up, held on the river walk, in March, by the Town of Estes Park, the Town is partnering with the Estes Park Western Heritage Foundation to produce the first annual Whiskey Summit. The Summit will not replace the Warm Up, but is a separate autumn event that celebrates the fine distilled spirits produced in Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming. The Summit has two parts: a public Tasting Festival and a Distilled Spirits Trade Conference & Expo.

Tasting Festival The Summit Tasting Festival will be held in the Events Center from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm and promises to be the largest gathering of Colorado craft spirits producers ever assembled for a tasting festival in the Rocky Mountain region. Even though the title does refer to “whiskey” products, the tasting is not exclusively about whiskey. Producers will also bring their best expressions of vodka, gin, rum and agave spirits. Also, for those of you who may prefer wine over a spirit product, Estes Park's very own Snowy Peaks Winery will be there with their great wine offerings.

Here is how it works: With the purchase of a ticket you receive a formal Glencarin crystal tasting glass just like professionals use (available to the first 500 ticket buyers), and a tote bag of goodies. You simply walk around the room and ask for a free sample of any spirit you want. If you're looking for a specific type of spirit–say a vodka or a scotch-style whiskey-a directory will help you find the spirits in your chosen category. (A no-alcohol ticket also is available.)

We're expecting more than 150 distilled spirits offerings, so DO NOT feel obligated to try all of them! This is an educational tasting event and everyone must drink responsibly. To help everyone en-

joy themselves, The Heartstring Hunters band will provide live music all evening.

Of course, there will be plenty of finger food and water.

For a more exclusive and enriched experience, you may want to select the VIP option. Here you will have exclusive tasting rooms, extra gifts, excellent hors d’oeuvres, and the ability to talk in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere with Brand Ambassadors about the fine products being sampled. Sign up early; there are only 100 VIP tickets available.

Many of the distilleries will have their products for sale at the conclusion of the public tasting (7:00-8:00 p.m.) So, if you find that special bottle that you really want to purchase, check the signage to see if your producer is one of the many who have bottle sales available.

Distilled Spirits Conference & Expo The day-long professional conference and expo will convene distillers, bottlers, distributors, suppliers, investors and retailers who are building the distilled spirits industry in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region. In panel presentations and round-table discussions, attendees will share experiences and ideas about challenges and opportunities in this expanding industry, including marketing and product awareness, business growth, technical innovation, small-scale distribution, and retail alliances.

At the Tasting Festival, you can enjoy and learn about great distilled spirits. If you are in the distilled spirits industry, or want to learn about any aspect of the industry, plan to attend the Distilled Spirits Conference & Expo. (This includes you folks who have a beginner's still in your garage, which I am obligated to say is highly illegal!)

Whiskey Summit October 7, 2017 Estes Park Events Complex Tasting Festival: 4:00-7:00 p.m.

Bottle Sales 7:00-8:00 p.m.

Distilled Spirits Conference & Expo: 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Tickets: • Tasting Festival -- $50; VIP -- $100; No-Alcohol -- $10 • Conference & Expo -- $150 (includes option for discounted Tasting Festival tickets) For more information and to purchase tickets, visit: WhiskeySummit.org

Protect Yourself And Your Family Flu shots now available at Estes Park Medical Center By: Kerrie Hill, EPMC

Restore your daily health and happiness.

Influenza or the “flu” is a respiratory infection caused by a variety of flu viruses.

Anyone who has had the flu knows it can “knock you off your feet. ” Infection with influenza viruses can result in illness ranging from mild to severe and even life-threatening complications. The U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 10 to 20 percent of Americans come down with the flu during each flu season, which typically lasts from November to March.

Children are two to three times more likely than adults to get sick with the flu, and children frequently spread the virus to others. Although most people recover from the illness, the CDC estimates that in the United States more than 100,000 people are hospitalized each year.

The flu differs in several ways from the common cold, a respiratory infection also caused by viruses. For example, people with colds rarely get fevers or headaches or suffer from the extreme exhaustion that flu viruses cause. Other symptoms of the flu include: headache, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and muscle aches.

The single best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated each fall. The flu shot helps your body fight the flu virus if you are exposed to it. Estes Park Medical Group is now offering flu shots. To schedule an appointment, call 970-5862200. With a flu shot: • You have much less chance of getting the flu • The symptoms will be milder if you do get the flu • If you are older or have a health problem, a flu shot greatly reduces the risk of severe complications from the flu.

The main way that influenza viruses are spread is from person to person in respi-

ratory drops of coughs and sneezes. This is called “droplet spread.” This can happen when droplets from a cough or sneeze of an infected person are propelled through the air (up to three feet) and are deposited on the mouth or nose of a person nearby. Viruses can also be spread when a person touches respiratory droplets on another person or an object and then touches their own mouth or nose before washing their hands.

Who needs a flu shot? Anyone who wants to avoid the flu can have a flu shot.

But, those who should be sure to have the shot include: • People who are 6 months of age or older • Persons with chronic conditions/illness • People who work in health care • All pregnant women Always practice habits for good health.

Do your part to prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses like the flu: • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to keep them from getting sick.

• Stay at home when you are sick.

• Cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough.

• Wash your hands frequently.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.

• Keep a container of instant hand sanitizer in your car, at home, and at your desk.

Should you have a Pneumonia Shot, Too? People age 65 and older should have a Pneumonia shot and a Prevnar shot. You can get a Pneumonia Shot at the same time you have a flu shot. Your health care provider can tell you if you need one of these shots. Medicare covers flu, pneumonia and Prevnar vaccines.

Museum Friends To Host Table Settings 101 Next Friday Within every tableware piece that has been shared or handed down through the family, there is a story. Celebrating those stories, as well the creative ways to display these items—whether vintage or contemporary, formal or informal—is the inspiration behind a special event happening this month at the Estes Park Museum.

The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation is hosting Table Settings 101 on Friday, September 15 at 1:00 p.m. This special one-hour program, which is free and open to the public, will feature a variety of displays of creative table settings, with ideas on how best to utilize and arrange the tableware that many of us save for special occasions.

Table Settings 101 is a prelude event to the second annual Colorado TableSettings competition, scheduled for October 27-29 at the YMCA of the Rockies. That weekend, participants will be provided space to arrange their own unique table settings around the theme, “Happy Birthday, Estes Park: 100 Years, Past and Present.” This year includes the option for freestyle category entries. Those not entering a table setting are encouraged to attend as spectators.

This month’s informal Table Settings 101 event at the Museum will offer anyone considering an entry their opportunity to gain a sense of the style and setup that might lead to a winning arrangement. Snacks and refreshments will be served, and Museum Friends board members will discuss the specific details of the competition and the registration process. Individuals, families, businesses, and children alike are all in-

vited to consider entering, and the event will feature photographs from last year’s winning entries, including the prize-winning table created by Andrea Smith.

This October’s Creative Colorado Table Settings event is a fundraiser for the Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, which provides vital support for the Museum.

Full information and entry forms are available at the Estes Park Museum (200 4th St.) and online at http://estesparkmuseumfriends.org. Entry fee is $20 for individuals and $30 for groups. The registration deadline is October 23. (No registration is required to attend the free September 15 open house event at the Estes Park Museum).

The Museum Friends express their gratitude to this year’s sponsors. The Stanley Hotel is once again offering a personal table dinner for two as the grand prize.

Additional sponsors are Granny Gingham Gifts, Hunters Chophouse Restaurant, Macdonald Book Shop, Plum Creek Shoe Station and Moose Creek, and State Farm Insurance of Estes Park.

Additional business sponsorships are being sought for this year’s fundraiser.

Anyone wishing to learn more about sponsorship is encouraged to contact Museum Friends board member Marcia Gerritz at 970-577-1914.

The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc., is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting the Museum through fundraising, publications, volunteerism, outreach, and special projects and events. Membership information is available by visiting www.estesparkmuseumfriends.org

Millions of Estes Park fans view our digital news

Local Volunteers Leave Soon For Mission Trip To Africa Projects will provide life-saving, clean water for 420,000+ people The Marion Medical Mission is pleased to announce Jim Nussbaumer of Estes Park will spend approximately seven weeks partnering with African communities to provide safe water sources to more than 2,800 villages in remote areas of Malawi, Zambia & Tanzania. Mr. Nussbaumer will leave for Africa on September 8th for his 19th mission trip with Marion Medical Mission. 36 U.S. volunteers, including Marion Medical Mission founders, Tom & Jocelyn Logan, will work in remote villages to help them provide sustainable, life-saving clean-water wells to areas that previously had none. The group plans to install 2,800 wells during this year’s well season.Jim’s wife, Carol (an Estes Park native), will also be going to work at the Embangweni School for the Hard of Hearing where she has worked since 1997.“We are both excited to be going back to Malawi, which seems like our second home. Both of our projects are special because we can see the immediate results of the work and are overwhelmed by the joy and gratitude of the local people. We always come back feeling we have received more than we gave because of the friendliness and open Christian faith of the people we meet there.” UNICEF reports that in sub-Sahara Africa, one in five children die before their fifth birthday because they lack potable water. 663 million people around the globe rely on ponds, streams and other exposed and untreated sources for their drinking water.

For just a $400 donation, Marion Medical

Mission provides an African village of approximately 150 people with a sustainable source of safe drinking water. Jim and Carol are looking for speaking opportuni-

ties at churches, civic organizations and small groups who might be interested in learning more about the organization or helping to fund the 2,800 wells the group plans to install. They would also be glad to talk to anyone that might want to consider joining us in volunteering in a future year. They will be back in early November but can always be contacted at jim@nussbaumers.net. About Marion Medical MissionFounded in 1985, the Marion Medical Mission has built more than 30,000 wells.

They have provided over four million people (2.25 million children) with a sustainable source of safe drinking water.

They partner with local villages – the local citizens dig the wells, make the brick and provide the sand and stone. MMM supplies only what the villages cannot, which makes the wells inexpensive, practical and sustainable. They are easy to repair, and the extreme poor can afford to maintain them.

Please visit the website at www.mmmwater.org for more information or to donate to Marion Medical Mission.

Fundraising To Support Estes Park Student Nears $20,000

Donations to support the family of Darrel Guadarrama Ramos, the thirteen year old Estes Park middle school student who recently received a liver and kidney transplant, are getting closer to the goal of $30,000. As of this writing, $19,275 has been raised – almost 2/3 of the way!

Darrel is currently out of the hospital in Aurora and is now staying near the hos-

pital for the next few weeks. The good news is that he is doing well. His mother, Minerva, is so very grateful for the wonderful generosity of the Estes Park community.

The many friends of Darrel and his family have scheduled a fundraising dinner in honor of Darrel to celebrate Mexican Independence Day. The dinner is scheduled for Friday, September 15th at the Estes Park Middle School and will be catered free of charge by local Mexican restaurants from 5:30-7:00 p.m. DJ music will be provided until 8:00 p.m. for listening and dancing. Donations to the Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) in honor of Darrel will be accepted at the door.

Zoning & Development Proposed Changes For Our Town & Valley Last May, the town started implementing amendments to our valley land use code involving fifty points that would extensively change it. Some seem moderate while others appear substantial.

Examples from this fifty item list include: • reduce conditions of approval for development plans • speed up the approval process • development plans reviewed by staff but not by planning commission • let staff handle some special reviews (already done) • no longer require a development plan with a rezoning application (done) • allow for some clustering of housing regardless of zoning • revise subdivision standards & review criteria & establish categories • provide flexibility for planned unit developments • add a chapter for redevelopments including incentives • consider creating a floating zone The fifty points also include this statement: Significantly changing the Estes Valley Development Code means chang-

Family Night Offered For Young Families Thursday, Sept. 14

Crop Walk For The Hungry The Estes Park Walk for the hungry around Lake Estes will be Sunday, September 17, 2017 at 1:30 p.m. Walkers will start from the south side of the Estes Park Visitors’ Center, east of the junction of Highways 34 and 36.

Walker sponsor sheets can be obtained from the following churches: Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, 1700 Brodie Avenue St Bartholomew Episcopal Church, 880 McGregor Avenue Estes Park United Methodist Church, 1501 Fish Hatchery Road Or by contacting Peter Vanderveen, walk coordinator, at 970-586-0578.

Call Peter Vanderveen for further information about Church World Service/CROP and to have a sponsor sheet delivered to you.

Taking part in the Estes Park Church World Service/CROP walk is a great way to do something about world hunger. Twenty-five percent of all Estes Park receipts will go to Crossroads, our local food pantry relief resource.

Did you know that malnutrition is the

underlying cause of death for 3.5 million children each year? Thus, about one third of all child deaths in the world.

Upper arm circumference is one measurement of malnutrition. An average 5year old’s upper arm is about 7 inches around. A severely malnourished child’s arm would be less than 3 inches around.

Factors contributing to this malnutrition are many—droughts, disasters that decimate crops, lack of clean water, poor sanitation and hygiene, rising food prices, and war, to name a few.

Taking part in the Estes Park Walk for the hungry is a way to say “I care about the hungry, I am a citizen of the world as well as America. I am “my brother’s keeper.”

Eighty-five percent of all funds received by Church World Service is used for meeting the needs of the truly needy for food, shelter, clean water, and relief resources following events like Hurricane Harvey.

tional singing in which all are encouraged to participate by joining in singing and playing instruments along to simple melodies designed to calm the mind and open the heart. Instruction in the practice of kirtan will be provided.

What Are Your Health Care Issues?

Colorado Consumer Health Initiative, a statewide, non-partisan, non-profit organization based in Denver, will be in Estes Park on Sunday, September 10, to discuss our health care situation. Please join us from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at Room 202 in the Estes Park Town Hall for this important presentation. This is a free event, open to the public. Doors open by 2:15 p.m.

Adam Fox, CCHI’s Director of Strategic Engagement, will update us on health care issues at both Federal and State lev-

els. Topics include the recent bipartisan health care plan released by Colorado Governor Hickenlooper and Ohio Governor Kasich, as well as challenges to the ACA, insurance rates, drug reform and formulary issues, Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, medical bills, freestanding ERs, and other timely issues. A Q&A session will follow.

CCHI is a non-partisan, non-profit membership organization working so all Coloradans can get affordable, highquality and equitable health care. CCHI represents 50 nonprofit organizations — mobilizing well over 500,000 consumers — to shape effective health care policy.

It does not represent insurance companies.

Please come and bring friends who have questions about our health care situation. Room 202 is accessed from the back door of the Town Hall Building, just off the Library parking lot. This event is free and non-partisan. It is hosted by the Health Care Issues Group of Estes Valley Indivisible.

“SO HOW’S THAT WORKING FOR YOU?” David Letterman used to make jokes out of advice offered by Dr. Phil. Often taken out of context many were really funny. However, as we all know, Dr. Phil has made a reputation for himself by providing no-nonsense advice on many different topics. His advice and books are full of direct, take-responsibility principles.

One of Dr. Phil’s standard questions was applied when he met people who kept on doing things that seemed to continue to bring them trouble. His innocent sounding query was: “So how’s that working for you?” So often, when this question was asked, it helped the person realize that their approach was not working for them…and they should try something different.

We see the same thing often in counseling when parents are having challenges with a child in their family. They come in concerned about some troubling behavior. They are asked, “When that happens, what do you do?” They respond: ‘time out’, ‘withholding of some cherished possession or certain liberties.’ At that point Dr. Phil’s question is appropriate …“How’s that working out for you?” If it seems to be helping, keep it going…“If it’s not broke, don’t fix it”. But if it isn’t working, try something different. The same applies in our marriages. What is ‘working’ to strengthen your relationship? Keep doing it. If not, try somethings differently. The same with our jobs.

The same is true in our personal lives. In dealing with our emotions, our habits, and other such things in our lives, we need to ask that question: “How’s that working for us?” We all know people, perhaps ourselves, who are ‘even-tempered…always mad’. “How’s that working for you?” We all know people who have addictive behaviors that have caused them problems.

The answer to that ‘how’ question is then quite obvious to all. A policeman friend recently stopped a woman as she was erratically driving her children home from school. Her BAC (Blood Alcohol Count) was twice the legal limit for driving. I asked him if this was her first offense. He shook his head sadly. And this time the repercussions are going to be quite severe. “How’s this working for you, Ma’am?”

The modern definition of ‘insanity’ is ‘to continue doing what we’ve always done, while expecting different results’. Wise Solomon described how ridiculous this is. “As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his foolishness.” So it is evident to all right-thinking people that different results always require different actions. We wonder what a person has been thinking in the time between clearly recognizing self-defeating behavior and the time they decide to take action to correct it. Why would a person continue to work where they are unappreciated and mistreated? Why would someone continue to do something physically that has been shown to be destroying their health or jeopardizing their freedom? Why would a husband continue to criticize and condemn his wife or children and then wonder why they are not receptive to his advice, presence and relationship? Why don’t we all move directly toward healthier and more fulfilling work and family relationships, once we know the path? Why would any of us purposely choose misery over the possibility of joy and victory? Wonder what our Lord would say?

Jesus’ advice to a woman whose life was ‘not working out well’: “I don’t condemn you, but go from here and do better.” Good advice for all of as we move onward and upward.

New Great Courses Series: Art Across The Ages

Have you ever regretted not having the time to take an art appreciation or survey course in college and wished you could somehow gain the knowledge you missed? Or found yourself wondering, even if you did take that course when you were younger, how much more your years of experience and maturity would have added to your appreciation of art's creative wonders? If so, this course is for you!

The Town of Estes Park’s Senior Services Division is pleased to offer a Great Courses Lecture Series entitled Art Across the Ages. Video lectures will be taught by Dr. Ori Z. Soltes, PhD, a professional lecturer in Theology and Fine Arts at Georgetown University. Discussion will be facilitated by Lois Sumey, a Senior Services volunteer. The 24-week course will be held on Mondays beginning September 11 from 10:00 to 11:30 a. m. at the Estes Park Senior Center, 220 Fourth Street. The course is free and open to the public. Participants may at-

tend any or all sessions; no registration is required. Stop by the Senior Center for a complete list of each week’s course topics.

According to Dr. Soltes, this 48-lecture course is designed to give anyone interested in Western art a firm familiarity with its basics, acquainting you with major artists and styles in various media and providing a broad foundation for deeper exploration. By giving you a ready grasp of the substance and significance of a vast range of artists and their work, along with a solid knowledge of how those artists and their work fit within art's continuum, this course will add immeasurably to your next visit to a museum or exhibition or simply enhance your pleasure in the art you encounter in your life.

This DVD lecture series is produced by The Great Courses, a twenty-seven-yearold educational company dedicated to producing engaging audio and video lectures by professors from leading universities.

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 Center website at www.estes.org/seniorcenter.

Estes Valley Quilt Guild Meeting The Estes Valley Quilt Guild meets the second Wednesday of each month at Good Samaritan Village, 1901 Ptarmigan Trail. The September meeting will be held on the 13th. The speaker this month is Pat Fitzpatrick. She will tell us about making bags, beginning with choosing the fabric and design. She will also have patterns available for purchase.

The business meeting begins at 6:45 p.m. If you arrive at 6:30 you will have time to catch up with friends. The Guild is always glad to welcome visitors to our meetings. If you are visiting in Estes Park and love to quilt, please join us. We do ask for a $10 donation to help cover the

costs incurred for bringing speakers to our meetings.

Back in 2001 Pat was introduced to what was to become a passion – quilting.

She said, “Color, fabric and the process of using my creative side was exhilarating.

My passion for bags began with a white elephant gift exchange in my church group. We all made bags and the fun began. Then by word of mouth I was asked to custom make more. I had so much fun with color and design. I now design patterns so others can make them. Once you make one you will want to make more.�

Pat teaches classes at Holly's Quilt Cabin in Centennial, Colorado.

Outreach Program Seeking Teacher The Outreach program is looking to start an after-school Spanish class for Elementary school students. Outreach seeks a native Spanish speaker who would enjoy working with kids, teaching them Spanish language and Mexican culture.

If you know anyone that might be interested, please email karen_mcpherson@estesparkschools.org.

Music Was Ordained What makes good entertainment? What chemistry occurs when you experience a movie or live performance? Does the event command attention? Provide pleasure and delight? Tingle your emotions? Hold the mirror up to nature? Remind you of past joys? Transport you to a happy place? Soothe your soul? Perhaps all of these, and more? Thank you, Barbara Barleen.

She’s the real deal, and just a few weeks remain to see her in Estes Park this year.

Barbara began performing in Barleen family reunions at age twelve; she won the KTTS talent show at fourteen with her rendition of “Abilene.” Today, Barbara and her talented troupe showcase “The Lazy B Chuckwagon Supper and Western Show” at the historic Elkhorn Lodge.

She yodels, plays guitar and violin, tells jokes and sings western songs you want to hear, backed by nimble musicians young and old. It’s wholesome family entertainment but you’d better hurry—the show closes at the end of September.

Barbara has sustained a long apprenticeship. “Music has been in the family for generations, ” she recalls. Her greatuncle, “Ozark Jack, ” had a Buffalo Bill Cody-type show, and two grandfathers were square dance fiddlers. Many Estes Valley residents will recall attending the Barleen Family Country Music Dinner Theater (1979-97) on Highway 7, as well as the more recent Barleen’s Rocky Mountain Opry at The Other Side restaurant. Today’s chuckwagon show remains a family affair: twin sister Brenda handles the front end of the business: numbers, bank deposits, front of house, tickets. Barbara handles the back end: the band, kitchen and show production. It works well.

“Estes Park is tradition for us, and I love it here. Estes has always been a family vacation destination for this Marshall and Cloud Counties, Kansas, farm family, where Daddy grew wheat and corn, and was also a rebel and entrepreneur, ” says

Barbara. “It’s all about connection with people. I get a lot of joy when someone comes up and says ‘I knew your mother. ’ The show is about people coming in and having a whole experience. The atmosphere---a meal, great entertainment, laughter; that’s the objective. It’s pure and it’s authentic. ” By no means is it a one-woman show.

Barbara’s virtuoso colleagues on the stage, the Lazy B Wranglers, include 19year

old Celeste Johnson from Arvada, now a sophomore at the University of Colorado, who is a fourtime national youth fiddle champion, and twelve-year old fiddler Julian Oliver from Estes Park who took second place to Celeste. Yodeling master Vic Anderson sings and teaches kids trick roping during the intermission. Minnesota’s Jeff Olson deftly tickles the ivories; Michael J entertains with humor and a multitude of voices you’ve heard before; and “Marvelous” Marvin Short doubles on saxophone and guitar. It’s a very accomplished company.

Barbara: “People cherish nostalgia, so we always return to the past. When kids see live western entertainment and learn to rope at intermission, it’s a big deal.

Our audience is part of our show; when we step on stage we don’t know what will happen. At it’s core this is a western theme show, and we strive for the correct blend for multiple generations. The show keeps evolving as we listen and give our audience what they want. ” There’s a long history undergirding Barbara’s work. The Lazy B Chuckwagon Supper and Original Western Show opened in the early 1960s off Dry Gulch Road, and for over forty years enter-

tained as many as 1200 guests on summer evenings. Following in the tradition of singing cowboys Gene Autry, Roy Rogers and Tex Ritter, a dozen Chuckwagon shows operate today in Colorado, Arizona, Wyoming and New Mexico, offering traditional cowboy music on acoustic instruments, family entertainment, range humor, a good meal and core values that reflect and reinforce Western Heritage.

And what better venue for the time-honored Lazy B show than the historic Elkhorn Lodge, which traces its roots back to 1874? Nestled under Old Man Mountain, this rustic Lodge exhales history. Estes Park’s first school building (1886), first chapel (1890), first golf course, first swimming hole and first fish hatchery graced the original several thousand acres, now shrunk to sixty-five, that helped to build Elkhorn’s fame. New owner Quentin Wedan fully intends to keep tradition going, and a long-term relationship with the Barleen family seems likely.

Barbara and her cohorts perform on stage in the dining room, where a sense of history fairly drips from the walls. One can picture Abner Sprague, F.O. Stanley, Muriel MacGregor, Rocky Mountain Jim, Isabella Bird, Pieter Hondius, Enos Mills

and other early Estes notables enjoying meals in that famous room. Today’s show-goers dine on standard chuckwagon fare: beef brisket, pulled pork, beans and cling peaches.

Barbara will savor a brief respite from performing following the September 30 close, after which the Barleen Dinner Show will open its 31st season in Apache Junction, AZ. From November to April the Barleens will offer varying formats: Rock ‘N Roll, Country, Variety, featured performers and more; Barbara’s five siblings all participate in the Arizona offerings.

And then next summer, Barbara and her team will return to Estes Park. “We all have roots here and a web of relationships. We are part of this community. We have aspirations to grow. We want to be part of the fabric of life in Estes. It’s very rewarding. When you do what you love you’ll never work a day in your life. Our musicians and working staff are a family working toward a common goal: a happy audience. ” There’s still time to catch the Lazy B dinner and show before they sing “Happy Trails” for the last time and head south to Apache Junction. Don’t miss this true western experience.

Next column: The best obtainable?

Estes Park. Nice town. Nice people.

Library Thanks Participants In Recent Patron Satisfaction Survey The Estes Valley Library expresses its appreciation to everyone who com-

pleted the 2017 Library Patron Satisfaction Survey earlier this summer. The survey yielded nearly 800 responses, which is an especially successful sampling for our community size.

All survey responses are now being sorted, compiled and analyzed, with results to be announced later this year.

Responses will be used to form the library’s service priorities for 2018 and beyond.

All survey participants were entered into a random drawing for a gift basket filled with library-themed treats and collectibles. Given the high number of completed surveys, the library decided to award not just one but five gift baskets.

Congratulations go to all the gift basket winners: Susie Collins, Katherine Dumont, Rik Forschmiedt, Rachel Graham, and Linda Wisneski.

The library is grateful to many local businesses who contributed the prizes that were contained in the baskets.

Business sponsors included Kind Coffee, Rock Cut Brewery, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, and Snowy Peaks Winery. Local business support helped encourage the strong number of responses from the community, which in turn made for a fuller spectrum of voices that will guide the library in planning for the future.

Watch for results of the Patron Survey to be announced in the months ahead.

Seth Greer 12th Grade Congratulations to Seth Greer, Student of the Week for September 8, 2017.

In school, Seth is a member of Student Council and the Environmental Club. He sings in the choir and is a member of the group, Major 13. Seth has performed in the school musical and is also in the Thespian Club.

Outside of school, Seth enjoys climbing, skiing, hiking, writing songs and drinking tons of water. He also got third place in the elk bugling contest when he was in 2nd grade!

Seth’s GPA is 4.0 and he earned a 1400 on his SAT.

He’s earned varsity letters for track, cross country and for his “killer attitude!”

His favorite quote is “You know...there’s so much fun stuff that you can do” by Beckie Greer. He loves this quote because it shows the fact that there is a bunch of fun stuff in the world and you can do it.

After high school, Seth plans to attend college at CU Boulder which he thinks sounds great. If not, he says he’s always got a mattress in his car.

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

Libraries Venturing “Outside The Lines” Next Week By: Laurie Dale Marshall, Adult & Teen Services Librarian

It’s that spirit of seeing ordinary things in a whole new light. Like inventing your own lyrics to a famous song. Or grabbing a novel and reading the last page first.

Venturing “outside the lines” can offer unexpected rewards.

Next week, “Outside the Lines” is the theme at the Estes Valley Library. And we’re not alone. “OTL” is a national effort to spotlight and celebrate the innovation and creativity happening on a daily basis at America’s libraries. As this celebration enthusiastically announces: “Libraries are dynamic centers for engagement that help everyone to be their best. ” Among the goals of Outside the Lines: • Welcome creativity, customer curiosity, culture, community, and creative spaces.

• Highlight how libraries are relevant to people’s lives.

• Be active. Get folks engaged.

• Aim for the extraordinary—and the unexpected.

• Most importantly—have fun.

Credit to Colorado’s libraries, who started this effort in 2014. The movement’s gone international, with participating libraries in Africa, Europe, and South America.

Outside the Lines is an excellent fit for the Estes Valley Library, as this celebration aligns with our strategic goals.

“Community” and “Curiosity” rank high among our key values. And next week’s activities embrace at least four of our twelve Comprehensive Objectives, all of which grew from careful listening to public feedback. We’ve been working to create programs and services that Stimulate Imagination, Express Creativity, Satisfy Curiosity, and Connect to the Digital

World.

We’ll be inspiring opportunities for all of these goals over the six-day period from this Sunday, September 10 through Friday, September 15.

This Sunday is the debut of our new podcast: “Dewey Discuss,” where you’ll soon enjoy audio files of Library staff and special guests discussing great reads and topics of interest related to the great activities at the library.

The Library Facebook page will be a source of inspiration this Monday, with the launch of the Poetry Prize Machine.

Check out our page to find out the location of a library vending machines, that redeems mini-poems, book quotes, and surprises created on our 3D printer.

Next week, you just might see librarians in unexpected places—“outside the lines” of our physical library building. You can find librarians on bicycles on Wednesday, delivering books around town. And on Thursday, we’ll be at the Farmers’ Market, offering not only our weekly book sale cart but spontaneous story readings, and library fun for all ages.

Our Tech Team invites us to satisfy curiosity with a special event exploring “The New Era of Electric Vehicles” this Monday, September 11, at 7 p.m. (register at estesvalleylibrary.org).

Outside the Lines 2017 is a worthy prelude to what 2018 has in store. On the horizon for next year is a new Maker Space creative zone on the second floor—just one of the benefits to be yielded from this fall’s upstairs renovations.

Check out the full schedule of “Outside the Lines” happenings at estesvalleylibrary.org or on page 3 of the newest issue of “Gatherings.” We look forward to seeing you next week—on that exciting frontier that is “Outside the Lines.”

Winter Is Coming.

Book Group Is Starting The Second Monday Book Group will be starting our 30th season on Monday September 11, 2017. What began as an outreach program from the Library by Beverly Todd in 1986 continues to bring Estes Park residents and visitors together to discuss books and authors and the burning issues raised by fiction and nonfiction.

We meet at the big table in Kind Coffee at 3:30 p.m. You don't need to buy snacks or drinks or even read the book. Nobody is compelled to contribute to the discussion except at the first meeting where we introduce ourselves by talking about a favorite book. We try to read a mix of fiction and non-fiction, sometimes older books so everybody can have a chance to find a copy.

We meet September through May. Here is a partial schedule.

The September meeting has historically been "Book of Choice." This can be something you read a long time ago or something you discovered this summer, something that mattered to you as a child, teenager, young adult, mid-life

adult or geezerina, or anything that you want to share with the group. It can be any genre or any form of written word.

The October meeting has been tied in recent years to the selection of One Book/One Valley by the Library. On October 9, we will be discussing “The Distance Between Us” by Reyna Grande The definitive schedule for November through May will be established at the September meeting. Here are the books that were chosen at our May meeting.

"A Piece of the World" by Christina Baker Kline "Sisters in Law" by Linda Hirshman "Small Great Things" by Jodi Picoult "Wilma Mankiller: a Chief and her People" by Wilma Mankiller and Michael Wallis "The Woman in Cabin 10" by Ruth Ware "Lab Girl" by Hope Jahren "Homegoing" by Yaa Gyaasi For more information, contact Sybil Barnes by leaving a voice message at 970586-2789 or emailing estespetsitter@gmail.com

The businesses in the Estes Valley are amazing in the many ways they give back to the community. Donations of goods and services, employee volunteerism, sharing of time and talent all go a long way in supporting many worthy causes locally. We need your help in recognizing these outstanding businesses. Please consider nominating a deserving business for the “Business Philanthropist of the Year� Award to be presented at the National Philanthropy Day in Estes Park celebration on Thursday, November 9.

This fun, inspiring event takes place at the YMCA of the Rockies from 4 – 7 pm.

To nominate, please visit www.epnonprofit.org.

A big part of the evening is to recognize those who have made an impact during the past year. A business’s expression of philanthropy can come in many forms – donating prizes for the Duck Race, coordinating a business-wide employee community service project, providing goods and services for silent auctions, sharing and donating professional expertise, etc.

The Business Philanthropist of the Year award is intended to recognize a business that has had a significant impact on the Estes valley community in the previous year through philanthropic activities.

Previous year’s award recipients are an inspiration to us all and include Amy

Nominate A Deserving Business For Outstanding Philanthropy!

Hamrick, Kind Coffee; Rob & Julie Pieper, Mama Rose’s and Poppy’s; Rocky Mountain Park Inn, Safeway, and Kris & Gary Hazelton, Estes Park News. This week we will highlight the 2016 nominees and recipient of the Business Philanthropist of the Year Award.

The Estes Park Mountain Shop Rob Mardoch, Dave Watosky The Estes Park Mountain Shop has raised over $100,000 in 6 years to help cure children’s cancer as the local sponsor of St Baldrick's Day. For Rob and Dave, that's just the beginning. From selling and supporting sales of the Rocky Card to raise thousands for our local nonprofits, to the nearly 20 other local nonprofit organizations they support, the Estes Park Mountain Shop is a true example of philanthropy in action. Rob and Dave give selflessly to the Estes Park community and are an inspiration to others.

Hobert Office Services Marsha and Ken Hobert Marsha and her husband Ken have been generous to the community in many ways. From providing printing and artwork at reduced cost for nonprofit organizations, to sending her beautiful photographs of the area to local news broadcasts to ensure people all over Colorado remember how beautiful our mountain valley is, Marsha tirelessly works for our community. After the 2013 flood, Marsha played an important role

in uniting Estes Park and Glen Haven, pouring her heart and her resources in to the recovery effort.

Diane Muno – Spruce House, Christmas Shoppe, White Orchid, Liz & Jo’s Diane has served the business community since nearly the minute she arrived in Estes Park. She has worked on countless boards, including Estes Valley Partners for Commerce, Estes Performance, Inc, and The Estes Park Wedding Association. Diane is constantly looking for ways to strengthen our business community, to bring business owners together, and to improve our year round viability.

The Egg & I, Tim Poynter Tim Poynter at the Egg and I has been quietly working with the Estes Park Senior Citizens' fundraiser breakfasts for over a decade, providing a critical source of income for the organization. In addition, he donates food to service clubs, Crossroads, school activities, the Estes Park Medical Center, and local fire departments. Tim always makes sure there is plenty of high quality food, preparation and storage information, and never asks to be recognized for his efforts.

The recipient of the 2016 Business Philanthropist of the Year Award was Anthony de Sousa, Antonio's Pizza.

If two nominations didn't make it clear that Anthony is making a quiet, meaningful difference, the words describing

his philanthropy certainly did. Anthony reaches out to organizations serving people in distress offering weekly pizza for everyone being served by these groups.

When pressed for the motivation behind this he simply says “I know what it's like to grow up poor, and I want kids who can't afford it to have pizza!� He has also described a childhood known by too many contemporary children and families, of being hungry and 'searching every cabinet repeatedly thinking something would appear'.

One nominator describes the reaction of their clients: “you should see the joy on the faces of the families who stop by on pizza nights to pick up their large, hot pizza for a special family night!�

Anthony's reply? “I hope my ancestors are smiling.� We are sure they are!

This year’s awards will honor outstanding community philanthropists in the following four categories: Individual Philanthropist of the Year, Youth Philanthropist of the Year, Business Philanthropist of the Year, Enduring Service Award (philanthropy over time.) More information and nomination forms may be found at www.epnonprofit.org. Award nomination deadline is Friday, September 29.

For additional information or questions, please contact Jill Lancaster, Executive Director, Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center 970-480-7805; director@epnonprofit.org or visit our website www.epnonprofit.org.

KREV-LP Fall Community Campaign Starting September 15, volunteers from KREV-LP, the only local radio station in the Estes Valley, will be seeking support for the non-profit station serving the Estes Valley. Established in 2002 as a low power FM radio station to serve as a source of information and entertainment for the Estes Valley, KREV-LP operates 24/7 at 104.7 FM. The theme of this year’s community participation campaign is “Your community - your radio. ” In addition to generating financial support for the station, increasing awareness throughout the community, including both local residents and visitors, is an equally important goal.

Underwriting opportunities are available for a number of the daily or weekly programs that offer a diverse mixture focusing on community specific information, educational, religious, and secular programs, and a variety of music.

Both corporate and individual underwriters are welcome, and Pay Pal donations at www.krevlp.org are easy. Donations are tax exempt, and underwriters receive on-air acknowledgement for participation.

Campaign chair Cay Lacey says KREVPL has ambitious goals. “We anticipate expanding our listenership to as many as 10,000 people in the Estes Valley listening area, bringing them emergency information and community cultural/educational events and programming, as well as entertainment, ” Lacey said. “KREVLP’s internet streaming at www.krevlp.org now allows many seasonal residents to stay in touch with happenings in the Estes Valley, increasing listenership across the country, ” she added.

The geological location of the Estes Val-

ley, essentially surrounded by mountains, means signals from outlying stations can be sporadic and undependable. The station’s recent move of its transmitter and offices to new facilities at 1180 C Woodstock Drive in Estes Park expanded the coverage area, but also resulted in increased operating expenses.

The operating budget of KREV-LP includes annual license fees to BMI, ASCAP and SESAC, rent/utilities/phone, monthly fees for transmitter and data services, and support for a part-time technician. All other staffing, programming and support services are provided by community volunteers.

The main sources of income include underwriting of programs by businesses and individuals, and donations from listeners.

Community partners, including the Park Valley School District, the Estes Park Medical Center, Police Department and Fire District, contribute information and educational programming. Weekly in-depth interviews with local leaders help inform residents about community issues. The diverse music offerings are designed to reach out to as many Valley residents as possible and run the gamut from Latino and German to Oldies, Gospel and Classical. Estes Valley Latino residents can receive Spanish language programming and announcements, especially emergency, educational, and safety announcements.

This show, sponsored by Renate Edmundson will be on exhibit September 15-October 22. The public is invited to join us for the artist’s opening reception Friday, September 15, 5:007:00 p.m.

Fi Rust was born and raised in Kent, England, where she first acquired a great love of nature. She moved to Southern California in 1979 and worked as an art director, graphic designer, and 3-D animation artist throughout the '80s.

In early 1990, she moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where she began her career as a wildlife photographer. After a birthday trip to Rocky Mountain National Park in 1994, she moved to Boulder the following year.

Fi is an award-winning wildlife photographer who has won awards in all the top US nature photography contests and in some international ones, including, this year, the Italian International Oasis Photo Contest. One of her greatest accomplishments was winning the Professional Prize in the Audubon Magazine Photo Awards in 2012. In 2013, Fi took First and Second Prize in the Denver Audubon "Share the View" International Nature Photography Contest.

Fi’s wildlife and nature images have been published in numerous nature magazines, including Audubon Magazine, Birder's World, Colorado Life Magazine, Colorado Outdoors, National Wildlife, Nature Photographer, Nature's Best and Wild Bird. Her images have also been published in books and calendars and by greeting card companies, and have been exhibited many times at The Wildlife Experience in Parker, and also at the Smithsonian. Fi leads individual and group workshops both in the United States and internationally.

Watoto Children’s Choir Travels From Africa With Inspiring New Production Friday, September 15th, 7:00 p.m. -The Watoto Children’s Choir, a group of 18 orphans from Uganda, will begin its six-month U.S. tour in Estes Park, Colorado at the YMCA of the Rockies Ruesch Auditorium featuring a brand new concert, Signs & Wonders.

The concert will feature worship songs that share the stories of the children and the joy that they have because of God’s love. The children will share stories of how their lives have been changed and how they have been called into a life of purpose to transform their communities. All performances are free and open to the public.

Since 1994, Watoto Children’s Choirs have traveled the world sharing the plight of Africa’s orphaned children. Each child in the choir has suffered the loss of one or both of their parents but they have been rescued and now live in a Watoto village. Watoto is a holistic child-care solution initiated to serve the dire needs of the people of Africa.

Abandoned at a hospital in Kampala, Esther Kahangi was rescued by Watoto as a premature baby and spent her first weeks in critical care. Now, she is a healthy, joyful eight-year-old who has toured with the choir.

“I am excited to be a part of Signs & Wonders,” said Esther. “I know that I am a wonder because I am chosen by God as His child.”

“What an extraordinary experience it is to see the Watoto Children’s Choir,” said Brian Houston, Senior Pastor of Hillsong Church. “It lights up the place to see these beautiful kids, and when you hear their stories and learn about where they have come from, you can’t help but think

of all God has done.”

For a complete choir tour schedule, please visit www.watoto.com/choir.

About the Watoto Children’s Choir-Since 1994, the Watoto Children’s Choirs have toured the world annually as advocates for the 18 million African children currently orphaned by AIDS. The experience of travelling on a choir helps the children to develop confidence and boldness, as well as broadening their worldview. The choirs have performed before presidents and royalty in the White House, Buckingham Palace, the United Nations and many other national parliaments. The choir has also performed at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant in the UK and is featured on Chris Tomlin’s album, “Hello, Love.”

About Watoto Child Care Ministry-In 1994, Watoto Church founded Watoto Child Care Ministry, Inc., an international holistic care program that was initiated as a response to the overwhelming number of orphaned and vulnerable children and women in Uganda. It is positioned to rescue an individual, raise each one as a leader in their chosen sphere of life so that they in turn will rebuild their nation.

Jack Ford Estes Park resident Jack Raymond Ford passed away Sunday, September 3, 2017 in his home with his family by his side.

Jack was born on March 4, 1928 in Como, Colorado to parents Roy and Tillie Sophia Ford. Jack was in the Armed Forces of the United States as a Corporal in the Artillery division from October 6, 1950 and was discharged on September 18, 1956. On May 9, 1954, Jack married Alice Jean Watkins in Denver, Colorado. Jack and Alice lived in Estes Park from 1959 to 1991. After retiring from the Colorado State Highway Department (CDOT 1973) and the Town of Estes Park (December 31, 1990), they moved to Florence, Colorado until 2006, when they moved back to Estes Park to be with their family until his death.

In his spare time, some of Jack’s hobbies and interests included gardening and listening to old time music. He was also an avid fan of the Colorado Rockies

Nancy Stevens

and Denver Broncos.

Jack is survived by son, Edward Ford of Estes Park, daughters Mary O’Reilly (James), Kathryn Ford, Julie Boles (Jeffrey), Sally Morse (James), all of Estes Park. He is also survived by five grandchildren, Matthew O’Reilly (Hannah Burford), Tyler Boles (Ronna), Brandon Boles, Jacob Morse and Caleb Morse, and two great-grandchildren, Tucker Boles and Paige Boles and numerous nieces and nephews.

Jack has one surviving brother, Clifford Ford. Jack is preceded in death by his wife, Alice Ford, his parents, three sisters and one brother.

Nancy Jane Stevens, daughter of Dean & Flossie Sack, was born August 12, 1938 in York, Nebraska, and passed away September 2, 2017 in Estes Park, Colorado.

Nancy’s thirst and curiosity for life emerged early, inspired by her father’s passion for creativity and entrepreneurship, her mother’s affinity for teaching and community service and her brother’s love of education, art and music. Nancy cultivated her innate kindness and generosity through her extensive travels, her big-hearted philanthropy, her dedication to her work, her unbridled affection for everyone she met and especially through her pride in her family.

Nancy’s appetite for education was satiated throughout her life. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Management and Business from Barat College in Lake Forest, Illinois. She also earned a Master’s Degree in Psychology and Adult and Continuing Education from the University of Nebraska. In addition, Nancy pursued undergraduate, graduate and post graduate studies in Philosophy and Medieval and Renaissance Studies from Oxford University, Oxford England, as well as post graduate studies in the Funding and Administration of Non-Profit organizations at the University of Chicago and the University of Missouri Block School of Business in Kansas City.

Her intelligence, creativity and devotion to detail created a distinguished professional resume. She was the Director of International Studies for Barat College and worked with Oxford University at the Centre of Medieval and Renaissance Studies for 10 years as the American Representative coordinating American undergraduate and visiting academics for special programs abroad.

Larae Essman Larae Watson Essman, formerly of Omaha, Nebraska and Estes Park, Colorado, passed away on August 29, 2017, in Lincoln, Nebraska. Larae was preceded in death by her parents, Ray and Olive (Sitzmann) Watson, and her sister, Kay Watson. Larae is survived by her husband, Roger; children, Paul and Jean (Kasl) Essman, Lisa (Mark Vucenich), Amelia (Don Gentle) ; grandchildren, Andrew and Natalie (Stoltz) Essman, Samantha (Essman) and Chris Hobelman, Alexander Gentle, Sophie Gentle; nieces, Deb (Tom) Lane, Denise Urich, and nephew, David (Sonja) Urich.

Larae was born on November 15, 1933 in Omaha. A bibliophilist, feminist, accomplished writer and photographer, Larae was a true friend whose intelligence, knowledge, wit, and personality were enjoyed by family, friends, acquaintances, and strangers.

A letter from Larae was a treasure to delight in unless you were a politician with a differing view. Reading, writing, and meaningful conversation

with friends and family were her greatest pleasures.

If you wanted a letter from Larae all you had to do was send her one, you were assured of a reply. Throughout her lifetime she never let go of a friend who wanted to be her friend.

Larae was a 1955 graduate of the University of Nebraska, Creighton University School of Law post-graduate studies, a member of Alpha Xi Delta, and several honorary societies.

Fervent member of the League of Women Voters, library promoter and volunteer. An integral member of book groups at home, on the road and generous contributor to many causes. Private interment at Sunrise Cemetery in Wahoo, Nebraska will take place at a later date. Memorials are suggested to your local Planned Parenthood chapter, ACLU chapter, or any organization benefiting children.

Trump Funeral Services, 1600 West "O" Street, Lincoln are handling the arrangements. Condolences may be left at trumpmemorials.com.
