One of my favorite sayings is, “Democracy is not a spectator sport.� Democracy only works if people are willing to put forth effort and actively participation. And like sports, it’s not just if you participate or not, but how you participate, that determines effectiveness. Can you imagine if we had the ability to throw a flag for “unsportsmanlike conduct� in public meetings or online forums? Why do we not tolerate incivility and unsportsmanlike conduct on the sports field, at the same time it seems to be expanding in public interactions? As the community has been discussing some contentious issues lately, there seems to be a trend away from constructive discussion of public issues toward more polarization and less-than-civil dis-
change and progress. Others want to see things stay the same and preserve the community they have come to love just as it currently is, or as it was in the past. It’s been said that the quality of the discussions on difficult problems in a community defines the quality of the community itself. If that is true, I’m not sure we are earning a passing grade. Estes Park has always had a reputation as a difficult community. That’s something many may not want to hear, but as someone who has experience working with communities throughout Northern Colorado for almost 40 years, this is not something new. Some of this reflects the loss of civility on the national level, and it seems to be getting worse in our own town, as well. Negativity through social media is adding
and thanks to the Estes Valley Library, Estes Valley Restorative Justice Partnership (EVRJP) and the League of Women Voters, several opportunities will be offered to equip us in making Estes Park an example of how to buck the trend against polarization and negativity. These events will focus on Civil Discourse and Conflict Resolution. The Library’s “One Book, One Valley� program will feature the book, “Why Won’t You Apologize: Healing Big Betrayals and Everyday Hurts,� by Harriet Lerner. A book discussion will be guided by EVRJP Manager and Executive Director Melissa Westover. Martin Carcasson from CSU’s Center for Public Deliberation will teach us how communities can better navigate through ‘Wicked Conversations.� Melissa Westover will offer the presentation “Got Conflict:
course. Rather than discussion of the issues, there are more and more personal attacks on individuals, attacks on the character of staff, and unsubstantiated accusations of corruption and unethical behavior. The result of this incivility is anger, frustration, and even worse, many good people are choosing to disengage from the public process, leaving only the loudest, most boisterous voices. It is bullying in the public arena. Our community has individuals with strong values who sometime clash with each other. As public servants, we strive to consider all positions, and start from a position that all values have merit and deserve respect and attention. As a community, we have some very strong common values. Most folks care deeply about the quality of life in the community and about its future. How we define “quality of life� does sometimes differ. For some it’s a good job with a livable wage and being able to afford a home where they can raise a family. Others are at a stage in life when they are financially independent and want to fulfill their vision of a community where they can retire and enjoy life in a way they now deserve. Some want to see
to this lack of civility. Of all places, National Geographic magazine featured an article in its August edition entitled, “Are We Really as Awful as We Act Online?� It’s a great short read, if you have the opportunity to pick it up. The author, Augustin Fuentes, discusses the psychology of the aggression that seems to grow out of the anonymity of online discussion. Estes Park has more than its share of blogs and websites that spread rumors and launch personal attacks and unsubstantiated accusations, sometimes authored by individuals hiding behind anonymity. This is too special of a community with too many wonderful people to allow this degradation of civility and productive public discourse to continue. This community is better than that, and as we exemplified after the floods of 2013, there is a better way. Fuentes put it so well, “It’s because we haven’t been stepping up, in unison, to do the difficult social work our contemporary work demands. That means standing up against bullying, abuse and aggressive harassment and fostering pro-social attitudes and actions. In person and social media, we must do both.� October is Conflict Resolution Month
Welcome to the Human Race� to better equip us for dealing with conflict. Former State Senator Linda Newell will present on Conflict Resolution and Bipartisan Politics. Look for details of these events on www.estesvalleylibrary.org. As in years past, we will share articles on conflict resolution by Melissa Westover weekly through the month of October. Our community is fortunate that EVRJP offers conflict resolution services that include coaching, facilitated conversations and mediation. These services are free to anyone living in the Estes Valley. For more information, visit www.estes.org/restorativejustice. The community can continue down the path of bullying, intimidation, incivility and mean behavior, or the community can stand up and show our character of respect, civility and productive civic engagement. And, if we want to be heard, listened to, and effective in getting our points across, we will be much more successful if we listen, show respect, and act in a civil manner. If we all make these efforts, we can ultimately be proud of how the quality of the discussions on difficult issues defines the quality of the Estes Valley.

Larimer County Mourning Loss Of Commissioner Lew Gaiter III The Larimer County Board of Commissioners is saddened to announce that Commissioner Lew Gaiter III, passed away on September 18, 2018. “Lew was a man of great dedication to his work, strong faith, integrity and courage. His passing leaves a huge hole in our hearts, our office, and our community. He will be missed by all,” said Steve Johnson, chairman of the Board of County Commissioners. Commissioner Gaiter was appointed in 2010 to fill the District I seat on the Larimer County Board of Commissioners, vacated by the resignation of Commissioner Kathay Rennels. He was elected in the November 2010 general election, and reelected in the November 2014 general election. Since day one, Commissioner Gaiter emphasized a culture of innovation and process improvement at Larimer County. He was instrumental in the development of the Larimer County Innovation Awards program and was a champion for launching a process to adopt a five-year strategic plan in 2013. “Joyful and generous, always with a smile on his face, Lew Gaiter was Larimer County’s own ‘Happy Warrior’ for those things that he believed in so passionately,” commented Commissioner Tom Donnelly. “Commissioner Gaiter’s integrity and bravery will leave a lasting legacy and provide a great example to all of us that have known him.” During his tenure as a Larimer County Commissioner, Gaiter was also a driving force in forming the Larimer County Department of Economic Development, helped establish the Larimer County Office of Emergency Management, and worked constantly on establishing the groundwork for rural broadband devel-
opment in Larimer County. Serving the public was the honor of Commissioner Gaiter’s life. He especially enjoyed his monthly citizen meetings, traveling all over the county to engage with citizens from Red Feather Lakes to Estes Park. As a Commissioner, Gaiter also served as Chair of the Board of Larimer County Commissioners in 2012, 2015 and 2017; President of CCI.; VicePresident of the Front Range District, CCI; Chair of the Tourism, Resorts and Economic Development Steering Committee, CCI; Member of the National Association of Counties’ (NACo) Board of Directors; Chair of NACo Information Technology Standing Committee; Member of Telecommunications and Technology Steering Committee, NACo; Member of the Colorado State Board of Health; Board Member of the Colorado Statewide Internet Portal Authority; and Vice-Chair of the State Emergency Medical and Trauma Services Advisory Council [SEMTAC]. Chip Taylor, Executive Director of Colorado Counties Inc. (CCI) said of Commissioner Gaiter: “He was widely known for his efforts to be inclusive and draw out opinions from even the most reluctant, to consider many perspectives in his decision-making and to seek common ground among diverse interests. Lew was an influential figure in his county, state, and country and made the most of his terms as a county commissioner. As CCI President, Lew worked to make CCI’s processes more transparent and accessible to all members.” Before his time as a commissioner, Gaiter worked for Hewlett-Packard as a software engineer, and also owned his own technology business.
Larimer County Commissioner District I Vacancy Replacement Process A vacancy exists in the District I seat on the Board of Larimer County Commissioners due to the passing of Board Member Lew Gaiter III on September 18, 2018. According to Colorado Revised Statues [1-12-206], a Larimer County Republican Party vacancy committee shall meet, and have 10 days from the date of the vacancy, by a majority vote, to choose a replacement for Commissioner Gaiter.
If a replacement hasn’t been chosen within that time frame, then the Governor of the State of Colorado, John Hickenlooper, will make an appointment within 15 days of the vacancy to fill the seat.

Two Elk Poacking Incidents In Rocky Mountain National Park Last Saturday morning, park visitors reported a dead bull elk next to Trail Ridge Road, near the Ute Crossing Trail south of Forest Canyon Overlook in Rocky Mountain National Park. Park rangers investigated and discovered the large bull elk had been poached during the night of Friday, September 21, or early morning Saturday, September 22. On Wednesday morning September 12, park rangers discovered a large bull elk had been poached on Trail Ridge Road near Milner Pass. This occurred during the night of Tuesday, September 11, or early morning September 12. This bull’s head had been severed and the carcass remained. Both cases are under investigation. Park rangers at Rocky Mountain National Park urge anyone with information on these incidents or other incidents related to wildlife poaching in the park to call or text the National Park Service Investigative Services Bureau at 888-653-0009 or call Operation Game Thief at 1-800-332-4155.
Persons providing information that leads to an arrest may receive a reward. If you have information that could help investigators, or if you were in the locations listed above please contact us. You do not have to tell us who you are, but please tell us what you know. The group of elk near Milner Pass in particular had frequented that area. Park rangers are asking for any photographs taken of bull elk near Milner Pass. Please email those to nps_isb@nps.gov or post on the park’s Facebook page at RockyNPS. Rocky Mountain National Park’s wildlife is a resource for all to enjoy and protect. Both of these elk were magnificent large bulls. Tens of thousands of park visitors have viewed and photographed these bulls. The individual(s) involved with these egregious poaching incidents have robbed park visitors from this experience and killed two strong bull elk during the rutting season. Please help the park protect wildlife by reporting any suspicious activity.
Town’s Water Division To Begin Work In Reclamation Neighborhood The Town of Estes Park Water Division will begin the second phase of the Reclamation neighborhood water line replacement project in early October.

League Of Women Voters Will Present Ballot Issues October 4 Please join the League of Women Voters of Estes Park on October 4 at 7 p.m. in Town Hall to learn about the issues you will be asked to vote on in your November 6 ballot. Did you know that the State of Colorado will include 13 separate ballot issues, that Larimer County will have another one, and that the Estes Valley Fire Protection District will have one? The League wants to help everyone understand the pros and cons of each of these initia-
tives so that you can cast your vote with as much information as possible. David Wolf, Fire Chief of the EVFPD will be there to discuss the Fire Protection initiative. Bonnie Seals of the League will present the pros and cons of all 13 State ballot issues and on the Larimer County initiative on mental health. The event will begin at 7 p.m. in Town Hall and will be live-streamed on the Town of Estes Park’s website. The event will also be recorded and a DVD of the event will
be made available at the library a day or two later. We will also have available LWV pamphlets on the State ballot issues, which include more detailed information on the issues and the pros and cons of each. These pamphlets will also be available at the library. Ballots will be mailed during the week of October 15, so this is a timely event to help you be an informed voter.
October 9 Meeting For Democrats In The Estes Valley The Estes Valley branch of the Larimer County Democrats will meet on Tuesday, October 9, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. in the Hondius Room at the Estes Valley Library. Our meeting is open to all Democrats, plus Unaffiliated voters interested in learning about the Democratic candidates on our ballot. Please attend this last general meeting before the November 6 election! Ballots will be mailed out from October 15 through 19, so we will discuss the candidates and issues appearing on your ballot, plus local voting information. Be prepared and informed before you vote! The more than 50 people attending the Democratic picnic on September 22 heard from Democratic candidates Conor Duffy (HD 49), Dan Sapienza (Larimer County Clerk), Rick Bohn (Larimer County Treasurer), and Bob Overbeck (Larimer County Assessor). In addition, representatives from the Phil Weiser (Colorado Attorney General) and John Kefalas (Larimer County Commissioner) campaigns spoke on behalf of their candidates. Also at the picnic, Jody Shadduck-McNally spoke on behalf of the Larimer County Mental Health Facility issue and Cathy Kipp spoke for Amendment 73, School Funding for K-12. The candidates and representatives then circulated among the picnic tables to enjoy visiting one-on-one with the Democrats and Unaffiliated voters attending. Voting in this 2018 mid-term election is important at all levels--federal, state and county. In addition to electing Democratic candidates at all levels, we need to know about other issues that affect all of us.

Rocky Mountain National Park Announces Plans For Prescribed Burning In 2018 Fire managers from Rocky Mountain National Park are preparing to conduct a prescribed burn in the Beaver Meadows Entrance area, if favorable weather and fuel conditions allow. The area included for the prescribed burn is a section south of High Drive and west of Beaver Meadows Visitor Center. Burning may be conducted for several weeks in multiple segments to limit daily smoke production. The primary goal of the project is to reduce the threat of wildland fire to adjacent communities and park infrastructure by using prescribed fire to reduce the amount of fuel available in this area. Depending on when weather and fuel conditions are suitable, prescribed burning operations may begin as early as October or any time through the winter. Ignitions will likely occur on weekdays with smoldering and smoke emissions
lasting for an additional 3-10 days. Smoke may be visible both inside and outside the park. Every effort will be made to minimize smoke impacts on visitors and the adjacent community; however some smoke is anticipated to disperse east of the park. Smoke may affect your health: For more information see https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/wood-smoke-and-health. No trail or road closures are anticipated but visitors passing through active burning areas may be escorted by fire personnel to ensure their safety. Safety factors, weather conditions, air quality, personnel availability and environmental regulations are continually monitored as a part of any fire management operation. For more information please contact the park’s Information Office at (970) 586-1206.

“How’s your dad? ” an acquaintance asked the other day. I’d just returned from visiting my folks back in Big Red country (we’re not going to talk about Big Red today, thank goodness), but how did she know I’d been with my parents? The timing of her question was coincidental of course, but for a split second I didn’t realize that. “I love when you write about your family,” she added. “Especially your dad.” “Dinny” will be pleased to hear a Thunker reader asked about him. After all, he is quoted on the back of my book with, “I like what she says but I wish she’d write more about me.” “Funny Denny Donohoe,” my mom called him after she met him on a blind date while at the University of Iowa. That was 64 years ago and they’ve been together ever since. (And she still laughs at his funnies, bless her heart.) They married in Des Moines, lived in Minneapolis, then Wheaton, Illinois, and for the last 45 years they’ve been in Lincoln, Nebraska. When they moved their family of five kids to Lincoln in 1973, they bought a brand new house that wasn’t quite finished on a dead end street in an undeveloped neighborhood with nary a tree in sight. Days after we moved in, we celebrated Christmas by maneuvering the sofa around the stacks of boxes so we could sit close to the fireplace. A fireplace! What a luxury, especially because the bare cement floor was cold (the carpet hadn’t been laid yet). The family grew closer through that move. We were strangers in a new town, lonely for the friends we left behind and scared of the unknown ahead. But we had each other and we had Mom, who sat on our beds each night, listening, encouraging, wiping away tears. And we had Dad, singing quirky songs like “Huggin’ and Chalkin’” and “I’ve Got a Rose Between My Toes” to keep our spirits up. Eventually we got to know Lincoln, made new friends, grew up and went to college, got jobs, moved away and made our own homes. Always, the house—and Mom and Dad—were there to come back to. Home. Any couple who has been married for more than six decades is getting up there in age. Dinny and Jo are no exception. They celebrated their 64th anniversary in a new home—an independent living community just a mile from what we now refer to as “Twenty-one ten”—the street number of our old house. They put their home of 45 years on the market and got five offers the first day. In October, “2110” will no longer belong to the Donohoes. Our home will no longer be ours. Last week, the family (minus one; Patrick is out of the country) reassembled in Lincoln to disassemble the house we grew up in. We had to figure out what to do with a lifetime of accumulations. We needed to decide what to keep and what should go, who would get what, and how to get rid of the rest. It was a challenging week wrought with emotion. Most memories are made with others and are treasured because of the shared experi-
ence. But possessions are the keepers of the history behind those memories. Mom’s china represents all those years of family dinners at the dining room table—around which we sometimes squeezed up to 15 people. When the cuckoo clock sends out its little bird to announce the hour, we recall the daily ritual of pulling the weighted chains with Grandma to wind the clock. Dad’s golf clubs symbolize a lifetime of pursuit of a better swing (two holes in one weren’t enough). We all remember the day the piano was delivered and the years of music that tumbled from its keys ever after. And photographs! So many photographs, and slides, and 8 mm family movies made while the cameraman blinded us with glaring bulbs. The memories are endless—and so is the stuff. We contacted a couple of tag sale companies, hoping they would sell what they could and haul the rest away. But we didn’t have $10,000-worth of “merchandise” so they wouldn’t take on our project. We contacted charities that might appreciate our hefty donation but they didn’t want beds or upholstered furniture. My brother Ned noticed an estate sale sign posted at the end of the street (which was no longer a dead end but a tree-lined street through a busy neighborhood) so we took advantage of the free advertising. We set out some furniture, tools, dishes and linens, and the next thing we knew, we were having a yard sale. As things sold we filled their spot on the driveway with something else from the house. It was fun, it was frantic, and we sold a lot of stuff. Cheap. (Remember the lamp I described in an earlier column—the one with the old paper money wrapped around its base? Sold for $5!) I believe the Universe kept us busy so we wouldn’t have time to think about the impact of what we were doing. Now it’s over and we have a lifetime of memories to hold onto without the possessions to trigger them. This place where I grew up—I know every corner, every noise, the unique-toour-family scent. I can go down those stairs in the pitch dark and not stumble, I am alert to the sound of the garage door when it opens, indicating that one of us has arrived home. I can feel the stillness in the air stirred by the gentle swing of the glider on the front porch, and hear the discussions emanating from the kitchen where we all developed the skill to prepare a good meal and a hearty debate at the same time. Our house will soon be someone else’s. I wish the new family years of happy memory-making in a place I once called home. When I go back next, I will leave my house key on the kitchen counter and keep the key to my memories of home close to my heart.

AMERICAN LEGION POST 119
• Obtain a bear-resistant trash can or dumpster. Keep garbage in a well-secured location; and only put out garbage on the morning of pickup. • Clean garbage cans regularly to eliminate food odors. If you don't have secure storage, put food scraps and items that might become smelly into the freezer. Then put them in the trash on pick-up
There have been reports of bears getting into homes and vehicles in the Estes Valley in the last several weeks. This time of year, bears are busy trying to fatten up for their winter hibernation and they need to consume 20,000 calories a day! Human-bear conflicts are a fact of life in Colorado, but with some simple actions, residents of bear country can help to significantly reduce those conflicts. The biggest issue in conflict situations is the availability of human sources of food -garbage, pet food, livestock food, compost piles, bird feeders, chicken pens, etc. Bears have a phenomenal sense of smell and can pick up odors of food sources from miles away. Bears receive a big calorie reward if they get into something like pet food, or bird seed or leftover pizza, and once they get a taste they quickly become habituated to human food and conflicts start. When that happens, things usually don't go well for the bear. Photo by Jim Ward 2011 Once black bears have discovered a food source they may defend it and can become dangerous.

There Is Help To Better Understand Your Medical Billing Questions Estes Park Health (formerly Estes Park Medical Center) knows that trying to understand your medical bills can be difficult at times. The Estes Park Health Patient Financial Services team has taken the steps to become a Certified Application Assistance Site to help you apply for appropriate financial assistance and better assist you with your billing questions. Estes Park Health provides quality health care services to all patients without discrimination, regardless of their ability to pay. Estes Park Health Patient Financial Services team can answer your questions Many changes have taken place in the health insurance industry in recent years. Procedures and services once covered in full can now be partially covered, covered only under certain circumstances or in some cases not covered at all. Your insurance plan can deny payment for services or procedures even after they have been completed. Many health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and insurance plans now require pre-admission notification, approval or second opinions for certain procedures. To help you navigate these on-going changes, Estes Park Health now provides you with access to a Patient Financial Customer Service representative, two Financial Counselors dedicated to resolving patient balances and a Pre-Access Services Specialist who will meet with patients for pre-op appointments to help you understand your financial responsibility to the hospital and/or your health care provider based on your insurance benefits. They will assist you in understanding terms like: • Co-payments – The portion of your bill you are required to pay for during registration. Co-payment amounts vary depending on your insurance policy. • Deductibles – The amount your insurance company determines you must pay before they begin dispensing benefits on services rendered. • Co-Insurance - Coverage in an insurance plan where the insured pays a share of the payment made on an account. For example, a patient with 70% co-insurance would mean their insurance plan pays 70% and the patient is responsible for 30% • Insurance Claims – The bill for services the hospital submits to your insurance company or companies. • Itemized bills – A list of individual charges for services and procedures you received during your hospital stay. Also lists your account number. • Patient Balance – The amount on your bill that you need to pay. • Statement of Account – Shows any activity (for example, insurance payments
or denials) that has occurred since the itemized bill was sent. Since every insurance plan is different, please be sure to check your coverage and ask questions prior to receiving treatment. Not following your insurance company's rules could result in a larger financial responsibility for you. Estes Park Health Financial Counselors can help you understand your financial rights and responsibilities associated with your services and procedures. Questions you might have about your bill You are not the only person to have questions about your hospital and/or physician bill. We have compiled a list of often asked questions that might help you understand the billing and payment process. Does the hospital need a copy of my insurance card? Yes. Your insurance card contains information we need to file a claim with your insurance on your behalf. Your registration process goes much faster when you bring your insurance information with you. When do I have to pay my co-payment, deductible and co-insurance? You are expected to pay your plan-required co-payment, estimated deductible and/or co-insurance at the time of service. Estes Park Heath accepts cash, personal checks, money orders VISA, MasterCard, Discover Card, American Express and Health Saving Account (HSA) cards. Will the hospital bill my insurance company for me? Yes, the hospital will, as a courtesy to you, send your insurance company a bill for services you incurred as a patient. It is important to remember, however; that the hospital relies on you for settling your account in full regardless of your insurance coverage. Your insurance policy is an agreement between you and your health insurance carrier. Often your insurance company will request information from you before making a payment on a claim. Are my physician's charges incorporated in my hospital bill? No, your physician's bill is separate from the hospital bill. You may get multiple bills for medical services performed by professional medical personnel such as physicians, radiologists, pathologists and anesthesiologists. Please contact their private offices with questions about their bills. When should I expect to see my bill? *This timeline is approximate and does not reflect special circumstances Continued next page

Record Breaking 2018 Autumn Gold Festival
Last weekend Bond Park rocked! Five fabulous bands yanked folks out of their seats and onto the grass dance floor, while kids, with painted faces, scrambled through the Bounce feature. Families checked out the Classic Car Show and consumed thousands of brats, hot dogs and pints of beer. Anyone could see that Sunrise Rotary’s Autumn Gold Festival was a huge success, and this year’s festival broke all records! Thanks to the planning committee, the hard-working volunteers and the generous sponsors, Sunrise Rotary’s fundraiser brought in tens of thousands of dollars to give back to the community this spring. Estes Valley’s non-profit organizations will reap the rewards from the weekend’s festivity through Sunrise Rotary’s Community Grants program. Outside of the food and beverage sales, Sunrise Rotary sold over 700 raffle tickets. Proceeds from these tickets specifically go to college/vocational school scholarships for promising Estes Park graduating seniors. Here are the win-
ners: The $5,000 Grand Prize: The Estes Valley Watershed coalition. The $2,500 winner Mary Dailey of Colorado Springs. The five $100 winners: Shawn Ames, Scott Pardue, Ed Lewis, Payton Woodard and Estes Valley Watershed Coalition (again!). Congratulations, winners! Special thanks go to the Autumn Gold Chairperson, Bruce Johnston, and his wife, Sally Johnston (Autumn Gold Kitchen Manager). This dynamic couple has tirelessly managed the festival for 13 years! Autumn Gold would not be a success if it were not for its gracious sponsors.

The generosity in our community is evident and on August 19 the sun shone through the clouds to highlight those being inducted to the Fall River Society.

Estes Park Middle School Students Attack Knapweed The Estes Park Middle School Builders Club worked their first project last Saturday removing knapweed from the incline between the middle school and the high school. The plot required hand tending because the slope angle prevented the use of school mowers. A lot of pulling, cutting, and stem breaking kept the group busy for two hours, with weeds filling nine huge plastic bags. A joint project of the middle school and the Estes Park Kiwanis Club, the Builders Club provides students with opportunities to participate in community service projects, gain leadership experience and have fun in the process. New members from the middle school are welcome.

Molly Morgan 12th Grade Congratulations to Molly Morgan, the Estes Park News Student of the Week for September 28, 2018. School activities Molly enjoys are; being the team captain for the varsity volleyball and soccer teams and being the leader of the trumpet section of the EPHS band. She is the current president of the Thespian Society where she participates in plays and musicals, and past president of the Interact Club and a member of Youth in Action. She is a member of the National Honor Society, maintaining a 4.13 GPA. Molly pronounces crayon “cran” and pajamas “paJAMuhs” and says any other way to pronounce those words is wrong. She can eat 127 Froot Loops in two seconds and her nickname is “Moose.”
Molly’s favorite quote is “Don’t worry, be happy” and that quote appeals to her because she says, “Life is too short to spend it worried, I want to spread smiles and be happy!” After high school Molly plans to attend college and major in International Relations and Communication.
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.

A NEW PREACHER IN TOWN My name is Gabe Bruyere and I am a new preacher in Estes Park. Though I have only recently moved to Estes Park, my wife and I have known and loved this area for many years and couldn’t be more excited to be here. My wife grew up in Estes and graduated from Estes Park High School, before we met at the University of Wyoming. Though only a visitor until recently, I have always loved this wonderful community. I am a military kid and I did live in some ‘exotic’ locations like the Netherlands and Omaha, Nebraska. However, most of my life was spent in Cheyenne, Wyoming. When I was still in High School, I joined the Wyoming National Guard, in which I continue to serve, now as a Commander of the Public Affairs Detachment in Cheyenne. I studied Ancient History at the University of Wyoming. After graduating, I spent some time working for the Army as an ROTC Instructor and later worked with federal finances in Cheyenne. In 2015, I began commuting to Estes Park once a month to work with the Church of Christ on Fish Creek to ‘try out’ preaching in their mentorship program with Bob. After a year, I decided it was time to move toward preaching full-time and moved to Durango, Colorado, where I was blessed to be a part of a preaching internship for 18 months, growing and developing my abilities in Bible study and preaching. It just so happened that the Estes Park Church of Christ was as eager as my wife and I, for us to return with our family and continue working with them. We were thrilled and, upon graduation from the Durango internship, we moved to Estes. This is a special place to work, as I am privileged to ‘partner’ with Bob who has many seasons of insight to share with me, as I begin preaching here. He continues to share his wisdom and thoughts with me as I eagerly begin this new adventure. I greatly enjoy both preaching Sunday mornings and teaching Bible classes. However, I must admit that my absolute passion is for individual Bible studies. I grew so much spiritually when I was just a new Christian because someone took the time to study God’s Word with me one-on-one. I now enjoy sharing that same experience with others who want to dig into God’s Word. If you have the opportunity, drop by some Sunday morning and introduce yourself. Both my wife and I would love to meet you! We have two young children (a four- year-old daughter and a one and a half-year-old son) who are eager to make new friends too. I try to study at different coffee shops in the mornings, so you might find me at Kind Coffee, Starbucks, Raven’s Roast, or one of the other amazing places around town. If you see me studying or reading, don’t hesitate to interrupt and introduce yourself. I promise, it is no bother, and I enjoy meeting new folks from around town. I love to talk about the Bible, Ancient history, military stuff, and I am especially eager to learn new things about you and Estes Park. If you’d like to get to know me or my family, get involved in a group or personal Bible study, or just talk a bit, don’t hesitate to find me or contact me directly. God bless. (gbruyere86@gmail.com)

Clear Vision Window Cleaning... On The Mend!
On September 7th, my wife and I were washing windows on Sierra Sage Lane. I have washed windows for over 25 years full time, and was confident that my safety line was secure. Unfortunately, the glass my safety line was suction cupped to, shattered, sending me to the pavement 20 feet below. Soon my wife was at my side, as she heard the glass shatter from upstairs. I would like to thank my wife, the homeowner (a nurse), and first responders for quickly coming to my aid. Thanks also to the emergency team here at Estes Park Health, the trauma team at Medical Center of the Rockies and Northern Colorado Rehabilitation Hospital. We know a fall of this distance could
have been fatal, but by the Grace of God, I (Patrick) only suffered a shattered left hip and wrist and a broken nose. It will be another two months before any weight can be put on my left side. I just arrived home this past Friday 9/21 and I am learning afresh, how to get around. We are not sure at this time what the next step for us is since we have worked together for a long time, washing windows. And we will not be sure, probably until spring, if we will be able to continue the same work. We consider all our customers to be friends and appreciate your trust in us. We know there are many others in our community, that we consider friends as well. Since it would be very hard to contact all of you in person, we thought it best to share the news with all of you in this way. We also want to thank those who heard of the accident and have been praying for us. If you would like to help us in any way, through this time, we would be grateful. However, you would like to reach out to us, we say “Thanks!” Patrick & Julie & Joseph Cramer, 970-213-3409, 1935 Wildfire Rd., Estes Park, CO 80517. *There is an account set up at Bank of Colorado if you want to help financially.

1160 FAIRWAY CLUB CIRCLE 1 Calling all singers, experienced actors, and people who have always wanted to sing or act but never tried it! The Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies is excited to announce our annual, community musical: The Spitfire Grill. Based on a page from an old travel book, a feisty parolee follows her dreams to a small town in Wisconsin and finds a place for herself working at Hannah’s Spitfire Grill. The grill is for sale, but there are no takers for the only eatery in the depressed town, so newcomer Percy suggests to Hannah that she raffle it off. Entry fees are one hundred dollars and the best essay on why you want the grill wins. Soon, mail is arriving by the wheelbarrow-full and things are definitely cookin’ at the Spitfire Grill. This charming musical features Appalachian style music and singers with a country/folk style are encouraged to au-
dition along with musical theatre lovers. Performances are March 8th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 16th, and 17th, with rehearsals starting January 14th. Auditions will be held November 4th, from 2-4 p.m. and November 5th, from 7-9 p.m. Prepare one song that best shows your vocal and acting abilities. Please email director, Denise Stookesberry at: dstookesberry@gmail.com for an audition time. Performing in a musical is a great way to beat the winter blues and make new friends in the community. For details on roles, music, schedules and more, please visit the Fine Arts Guild website at: www.fineartsguild.org or visit our Facebook page. Listen to music from the show on YouTube at: youtube.com/watch?v=6dYK9mw2xIU &list=PLMHLcWZUXlEOQXqtgP0_Z KqepnTrYYoy9.

On Saturday, October 13, 2018 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., the Community Church of the Rockies, the Rotary Club of Estes Park, Bestway Painting, and the League of Women Voters and Community Recycling Committee will be sponsoring Estes Recycles Day. There will be 4 stations: Scrap Metal Recycling, Shred-athon, Paint Product Recycling, and E-cycling (Electronics). The event will take place in the Church parking lot, 1700 Brodie. No Freecycle will occur this Fall. Please take your reusable items to the local thrift shops or non profit garage sales over the Fall holidays. Scrap Metal Collection It is important to keep your old grill, old pots and pans, and other metal items from filling up the landfill. Here is your opportunity to drop off those items and clean up your garage, kitchen, and other areas of your home, and have all of these items recycled. Mike McCleary, local scrap hauling man, will be accepting scrap metal on Saturday, October 13, assisted by the Rotary Club of Estes Park. How does scrap metal collection work? The items are first separated to remove paper, plastic, glass, etc. Then they pass through radiation detectors to remove any radiation from the materials. Next they are subjected to enormous pressure to cut metals into manageable sizes. In the shredding process rollers and hammer mills crush and cut the metal into small pieces. Using large magnetic drums the ferrous materials (iron and steel) are next separated from the non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass). Further separation is achieved using magnetic currents, high pressure air flows, and liquid floating systems. Finally the process called baling compacts the pieces into large blocks to facilitate handling and transportation. What can you bring: Barbecue grills, metal and cast iron
tubs, metal car parts and wheels, pots and pans, old screws and bolts, trays, utensils, metal fasteners, damaged hinges, fence posts, and just about anything else that is steel, aluminum, cooper, or brass and that weighs less than 50 pounds. (Our crew has not agreed to heavy lifting.) For things over 50 pounds come without the item to meet Mike and see what can be arranged. This service is free though donations to the Rotary Scholarship Fund will be thankfully accepted. Shredathon. To prevent identify theft and recycle paper documents, we offer a shredding service to the community. There is a minimum donation of $10/box or bag and all donations go to the Rotary Scholarship Fund. You not only get your documents shredded on site, but also help local kids further their education. We will be offering a new service to businesses/individuals that have 10 or more boxes. A scheduled appointment time can be arranged to expedite your loads by contacting Tara Moenning at 970-577-0186 or Harriette Woodard at 970-586-1040. What to bring: Paper documents with paper clips, alligator clips, pendaflex and filing folders will be accepted. No x-rays, credit cards, DVD’s, videos, tapes, hard drives, vellums, films and No plastic or previously shredded materials will be accepted. Shredded paper can be taken to the office paper bin at the EP Transfer Station. It cannot be added to single stream recycling. In Colorado it is illegal to add electronics or paint products to garbage or recycling bins. Information on Electronic and Paint Product recycling stations at Estes Recycle Day will appear in next week’s paper or reference www.recycleestes.org for more information.

Bert Cushing Publishes Two New Books Local author Bert Cushing has recently published two new books about his nonprofessional interests: western history and art. The first book entitled Western & American Indian Art describe his and his wife Jackie’s introduction into the world of this genre and their subsequent trips and adventures as they built their collection. Their collection is illustrated by color photos of their wall art, Navajo weavings, and southwestern pottery, baskets, and bronzes. The second small book entitled The Battles of Julesburg, Beecher Island, and Summit Springs presents brief descrip-
tions of the three lesser-known battles. Five Indian/white encounters have formally been designated as “Battles” in Colorado. The two best known are The Battle of Sand Creek and the Battle of White River (Meeker Massacre) and most Coloradans know of these. Less, however, is known about the three battles described in this small volume. Bert has written widely about his professional field of river and stream ecology, and these two new books are his first ventures into other fields of interest. Both volumes are available at Macdonald Book Shop in Estes Park and on Amazon.

Museum Friends Celebrate The Legacy And Memoirs Of Eleanor Hondius The newly-published edition of “The Memoirs of Eleanor E. Hondius” is now available from the Estes Park Museum Friends Press. This new volume is rich with photographs and an index as part of this important and lively local narrative. The publication was celebrated last Saturday as the Museum Friends hosted a reception that included Eleanor’s son, Pieter Hondius, Jr. Dr. Nancy Thomas led a discussion of the life of Eleanor Hondius, which included Eleanor’s many years as proprietor of the Elkhorn Lodge, her philanthropic contributions, and her involvement in many civic activities. Thomas shared the famous story of 1912, when the women of Estes Park raised $300 through a summer of fundraising. When Eleanor presented the funds to the men of the Estes Park
Foundation. To learn about becoming a member, click the Be a Friend link at estesparkmuseumfriends.org This weekend is an ideal opportunity
to purchase a copy of “The Memoirs of Eleanor E. Hondius” at the Museum Gift Shop before it temporarily closes in October, as the Museum prepares for remodeling. Anyone unable to visit the shop may arrange to purchase a copy by contacting Shop Manager Elaine HuntDowney at ehunt-downey@estes.org. 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. Business Association, she suggested the funds be used for the construction and improvement of trails. When told that the women’s “auxiliary” could not dictate how the funds were used, Eleanor put the money back in her purse, left the meeting, and joined in the formation of the Estes Park Woman’s Club. After the presentation, Pieter Hondius, Jr. answered a variety of audience questions in a discussion facilitated by Dr. Jim Pickering. Pieter recounted times spent at the Elkhorn Lodge and helping his father raise cattle. He shared memories of the many family figures that are recounted in his mother’s memoirs. And he told of meeting some of Estes Park’s most legendary figures. As a young boy, Pieter met F. O. Stanley, who promised Pieter a gift from his woodworking studio. Pieter was eagerly hoping for one of Stanley’s crossbows, but had to settle for a toy violin. Pieter Hondius joined Nancy Thomas in signing copies of the Memoirs book for those who enjoyed this special members’ reception of the Museum Friends &
“Fun-Raising” Helps Keep Our Library Going Strong By: Diane Shriver, Library Friends & Foundation Board Member The library is putting the “fun” in fundraiser. 2018 marks the 100th anniversary of Estes Park’s popular 18-hole golf course (congrats to our friends at EVRPD for this milestone!). What better occasion to transform our library into a mini-golf course for two spirited days, as we bring smiles while raising dollars for literacy, community, and children’s programs. Gather up some friends and drop by the Library next Friday or Saturday, October 5 or 6, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Try your luck on a course designed by local artist Michael Young. You can play a round for just $5 per person or $20 per family—no reservations necessary. As recording secretary for the library Friends & Foundation, this is one of many rewarding projects which I find so fulfilling. The library elevates our quality of life, and the Friends & Foundation builds bridges to elevate our library services from good to great. As a library supporter, my story is not unlike many others in the community. My husband and I retired here six years ago. We’re grateful for this mountain village’s small-town atmosphere. We’re grateful to hike from our home and see wildlife in our backyard. After many years in Houston, we’re grateful to enjoy all four distinct seasons of the year. As a couple with four children and seven grandchildren, we appreciate the vital role of libraries for families and early literacy. And looking back on busy careers—myself
having been a Certified Nurse Midwife providing women’s health care for thirty years—we appreciate how libraries support the needs of employees and small businesses alike. Like so many of our neighbors here, we love to travel. Since retirement, we’ve hiked in France, Scotland, Ireland, and the Czech Republic. Have you discovered the wonderful travel guides available in our library’s collection? We often find ourselves hosting house guests who come to enjoy this scenery. It’s great to show off our library as we tour our town’s amenities. And we appreciate quiet days of simply enjoying this mountain lifestyle: gardening in our mountain yard, hiking and snowshoeing the trails, and of course—the joy of reading, which is abundantly served by our library. It’s no secret: this community has the best library resources serving all ages, welcoming all residents. It serves as the hub of activity for group meetings. Educational programs are provided on a wide variety of subjects. Our used book sales not only help to fund library programs, they give books a second life to be enjoyed again and again by our community. Speaking of book sales, mark your calendars next weekend not only for the MiniGolf FUN-draiser, but also for the Fall Book Sale from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on October 5 and 6, right upstairs in the Library’s Makerspace and Wasson Rooms. The library does so much for us all. We’re happy to make it easy and fun to give back and keep that level of excellence going strong.

Ray Clinton Young
Estes Park’s music icon Ray Clinton Young died at the Good Samaritan Society on September 15, 2018. Ray’s amazing smile always lit up the room and the world has lost an amazing and talented, man. Ray was born on March 31, 1928 to Herbert N. and Lela (Larkin) Young. He married Lenamae (Lennie) Brownell on August 28, 1949 in Hay Springs NE. Lennie passed away on October 25, 2005 and the couple had four children. Ray was born with music in his blood.
He graduated from Nebraska Wesleyan University with a major in liturgical pipe organ performance and has played for countless churches and musical venues throughout his 90 years of life. He was a music teacher at Western Nebraska College and lived in Scottsbluff, NE where he had a jazz trio and directed many church choirs. He moved to Lincoln, working on his Master’s degree until being drafted into the Army. He earned his Second Lieutenant status and then finished his Masters at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. In 1957 he moved his family to Cheyenne, WY where he was manager of Wells Music & Company and Commander of his Army Reserve Unit. He and the family moved to Denver in 1958 where he was promoted to Executive Officer of the Military Police in the Reserves and was also the manager of Hammond Organ Music Studios. The family moved to Estes Park in 1972 where he immediately joined the music scene, becoming the organist at the Community Church of the Rockies, playing music at Nicky’s Restaurant, the historic Stanley Hotel and at other venues too numerous to mention throughout Estes Park for musical groups,

His exceptional musical skills have entertained thousands for over half a century. He was a major feature in the Catch the Glow Parade, entertaining thousands of holiday parade goers throughout the years with his iconic music. Ray was promoted to “Organist Emeritus” in 2016 at the Community Church of the Rockies, after celebrating 75 years of music-making “on the bench.” He is renowned for his jazz piano playing and up until just recently was entertaining dinners at Nicky’s Steak House in Estes Park and during the summer at Lane Guest Ranch. Ray has also generously taught many Estes Park children to play the piano and for many years accompanied students in musical programs at the Estes Park Schools, from preschool through high school, inspiring youngsters into the path of a musical career. He was always an encouraging presence for those who had musical aspirations and dreams. Ray was as humble as he was talented, and on August 28, 2018 Mayor Todd Jirsa and the Town of Estes Park declared it to
be "Ray Young Day” and issued a special proclamation in his honor. Ray was preceded in death by his parents, his beloved wife, Lennie and son D. Mark Young, his brother Richard Young and wife Evelyn, sister-in-law Elna Gaswick and brother-in-law Tom Cody. He is survived by his daughters Regan (David) Henley and grandson Alex Henley of Port Townsend, Washington, and Jennifer (Larry) Driver of Overgaard, Arizona. Ray is also survived by his son, Michael Ray Young of Estes Park, CO and by sister Marjorie (Darrel) Schindler of Hockessin, Delaware and sister-in-law Donarae Cody of Denver, CO and by numerous nieces and nephews. Ray always said he felt so very blessed to live in a small town like Estes Park and that this town was his family, that it's support sustained him constantly. A Memorial Celebration of Ray’s life will be held on Saturday, Oct. 6th at 11 a.m. at the Community Church of the Rockies with a reception to follow. We will all miss Ray Young who was blessed with a tremendous musical talent that he shared with everyone he met. Please visit www.allnutt.com to leave a message to the family.

Preparing The Garden, Trees, Shrubs And Lawn For Fall & Winter
By John J. “Skip” von Kaenel
EN RO LL TO DA Y
Hopefully, all you members of the Estes Park gardening community are having a bountiful summer. As you harvest your remaining vegetables and fruit, let’s redirect some attention on garden and yard preparation for the coming fall and winter. If done with attentiveness, gardening, even in Estes Park, can be a year round activity, although at a slower pace with various chores out of doors in the fall and winter. So let’s map out the next few months for the garden, yard, trees, and shrubs. September: Keeping in mind that this is Estes and plummeting night temps can pretty much “do in” whatever tender plants are in your garden, try direct-seeding fall season crops such as Swiss chard, lettuce, arugula, spinach and kale. For dry or compacted soil, first water the area; after a few days, fluff up the soil by hand tilling to help water penetration and root growth. Again, this being Estes, use cold frames over outdoor plants for as long as possible before hard winter sets in. Yes, if you have the resources, you can provide electric heat under the cold frames. I have done this with varying degrees of success to extend the growing/establishment season, trying both oil lamps and electrical heating. I found oil lamps to be much too messy with sooty air pollution. Water every two
or three days through germination. I have to say I have not ever planted fall vegetable crops in Estes. I am well done with vegetable tending by the first frost except for having remaining crops under cold frames until they are finished. If you have had a particularly successful vegetable, you might consider drying the seeds and storing them for next year’s crops. You might consider planting a cover crop in your raised beds instead of continuing to nurture remaining vegetables. I have had success with this in September when there are some sunny days and the soil has not yet cooled down. I have successfully had winter rye germinate before winter set in and turned it under in the spring to amend the soil. For a comprehensive listing of other types of cover crops (green manure) see cmg.colostate.edu/Gardennotes/244.pdf “Cover Crops and Green Manure Crops.” For fall crop container vegetables growing in the house or green house, use fresh potting soil amended with a slow release fertilizer. For lawns, prepare them for winter by: • Performing an irrigation system (if you have one) integrity check, making sure all hoses and or drip lines are intact, as well as sprinkler heads in the vertical position. With an eye on the

weather, gauge, as best you can, when to shut hoses and lines off at the valve and purge the system of water prior to freezing. • Fertilize lawns with a nitrogen based fertilizer. Colorado lawns do not need additional phosphorus. Mown grass clipping can be mulched right into the lawn since they are rich in nitrogen. The older the lawn needs less commercial fertilizer, with mulched grass clippings being sufficient as a nitrogen amendment. • Repair bare patches in the lawn with appropriate seed or turf and keep moist but well drained until seed have germinated/turf established. • Consider aeration as this will set up the lawn to receive additional seeding in the plug holes and stimulate grass root growth next spring. • Mow tall in the fall since longer green grass blades will maximally photosynthesize and provide extra root nutrient storage going into the winter. Stop mowing when the lawn stops growing. October: • Prevent winter sunscald damage to young, leafless, thin barked trees with application of tree wrap to the trunks. Note: Remove the wrap in April. Have you ever noticed how in January some years up here that there might be a foot of snow on the ground with no wind and yet you can get sunburned in about five minutes? The same goes for young trees (meaning up to three years old at which point, generally, they should be well established). Learn more about sunscald on the Colorado State Extension website. • Set up a schedule to water young trees and shrubs every three to six weeks unless we have an unusually wet season throughout the winter. Bring out water hoses if/when the temps are over 40 degrees. Southern and western exposures usually need the deepest watering, along with any newly planted perennials, trees, and shrubs. Water each setting for about 30 minutes. • Disconnect hoses and roll them up to prevent freeze damage to the hoses. Note: Warm and windy fall weather dries the out the landscape even faster. November: • Winter should be here, but water young trees anyway. Thanksgiving is good to mark on the calendar for watering. • Schedule tree pruning for the late
winter dormant season, i.e. February. December: • Water young trees Christmas Day or thereabouts. • If you have outdoor Christmas trees decorated, you might consider using regular small tree lights (not LED). These can raise the temperature by 3-4 degrees, which can prevent freezing to help get through some colder weather. The difference between a freeze and a killing frost is 4 degrees (32 vs 28 degrees. January: Water young trees New Year’s Day or thereabouts. February: Water young trees Valentine’s Day. Use your best judgment for winter watering. Do not bother if snow is on the ground and there are daytime melting temps. Do not water trees if temperatures are subfreezing. Winter watering of trees might seem like a waste of water. But be assured it is not. Using some due diligence in doing so will be well rewarded in the spring by your appreciative trees happily leafing out. By all means, enjoy the winter break and holiday season, and plan for next year’s gardening. For additional details and lots of other gardening information, see the Colorado State University Extension website, extension.colostate.edu. The author thanks Dr. Tony Koski, CSU Extension Turf Specialist and Master Gardener, and Dr. Alison O’Connor, CSU Extension in Larimer County for their contributions to this article. Skip von Kaenel, a retired U. S. Army officer and International Red Cross humanitarian relief delegate, has over sixty years of gardening experience in several parts of the world. He received his Colorado State University Master Gardener’s qualification in 2012. Having grown up in the South, he considers himself an enthusiastic aficionado of fine, vineripened tomatoes as well as all other fresh vegetables and has personally experienced the significant challenges of gardening here in Estes’ cool, high elevation environment since 2008. He looks forward very much to sharing his gardening knowledge and experience with other gardeners. Estes Valley Community Garden Board thanks Skip for sharing his knowledge by providing this article for publication.
