The Larimer County Clerk and Recorder offices would like to inform us that the renewal cards that come in the mail to remind us to renew our license plates are a courtesy, they are not required by law, so its a great idea to check your plates now, and mark your calendar as to when your plates are due to expire. The renewal reminder cards are sent out by the state and they send out hundreds of thousands of those little cards every month. Some cards may get lost in mail, dropped out of mailboxes, caught in magazines, etc. If you don’t receive a card in the mail, it’s not an excuse to not renew, you are responsible for the renewal of your plates. It’s important that you mark your calendar with your renewal date, or you will get a ticket and/or a fine if you don’t renew on time. Also, please note, the state conversion created address issues in the system for some Larimer citizens. Larimer techs are working feverishly to correct the issues but it takes time. If the system doesn’t recognize your address, you won’t get your renewal card on time and if you don’t renew on time, you are going to get a late fee and/or a ticket - another great reason to mark your calendars! See www.larimer.org/clerk/vehiclelicensing for more information.
Up to a $2,000 reward is offered for information regarding elk poaching incidents that occurred in Rocky Mountain National Park in September, 2018. In order to be eligible for a reward, the information must be relevant and lead to an arrest or criminal conviction. On Wednesday morning September 12, Park Rangers discovered a large bull elk had been shot alongside 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. On the morning of September 22, 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 shot during the night of Friday, September 21, or early morning Saturday, September 22.

CPW and Larimer County DNR are investigating a mountain lion attack on a trail runner at Horsetooth Mountain Open Space on Feb. 4. The runner is recovering and the juvenile lion will be necropsied by CPW.
CPW And Larimer County Investigating Mountain Lion Attack At Horsetooth Mountain Open Space Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers, working with Larimer County Department of Natural Resources, are investigating a mountain lion attack on a trail runner using the West Ridge Trail at Horsetooth Mountain Open Space on Monday, Feb. 4. The victim was able to defend himself from the attack, resulting in the death of the juvenile mountain lion. The runner was then able to leave the open space property and get himself to a local hospital. “Mountain lion attacks are not common in Colorado and it is unfortunate that the lion’s hunting instincts were triggered by the runner,” Ty Petersburg, area wildlife manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife said. “This could have had a very different outcome.” The victim of the attack described hearing something behind him on the trail and was attacked by a mountain lion as he turned around to investigate. The lion lunged at the runner, biting his face and wrist. He was able to fight and break free from the lion, killing the lion in self-defense. The runner sustained serious, but non-life threatening injuries as a result of the attack. As wildlife officers searched the trail area provided by the runner, the body of a juvenile mountain lion was found within feet of several possessions that the victim asked the officers to look for on the trail. The lion has been taken to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife animal health lab for a necropsy. “The runner did everything he could to save his life. In the event of a lion attack you need to do anything in your power to fight back just as this gentleman did,” said Mark Leslie, Colorado Parks and Wildlife Northeast Region manager. Mountain lion attacks on people are rare, with fewer than 20 fatalities in North America in more than 100 years. Since 1990, Colorado has had 16 injuries
as a result of mountain lion attacks, and three fatalities. Lion populations are doing very well in Colorado, but they are elusive animals and tend to avoid humans. Most people will never see a lion in the wild, but they are there. If you live, work, or play in mountain lion country, it is important to be alert. What to do if you encounter a mountain lion: Do not approach a lion, especially one that is feeding or with kittens. Most mountain lions will try to avoid a confrontation. Give them a way to escape. Stay calm when you come upon a lion. Talk calmly and firmly to it. Move slowly and never turn your back on it. Stop or back away slowly, if you can do it safely. Running may stimulate a lion's instinct to chase and attack. Face the lion and stand upright. Do all you can to appear larger. Raise your arms. Open your jacket if you're wearing one. If you have small children with you, protect them by picking them up so they won't panic and run. If the lion behaves aggressively, throw stones, branches or whatever you can get your hands on without crouching down or turning your back. Wave your arms slowly and speak firmly. What you want to do is convince the lion you are not prey and that you may in fact be a danger to the lion. Fight back if a lion attacks you. Lions have been driven away by prey that fights back. People have fought back with rocks, sticks, caps or jackets, garden tools and their bare hands successfully. We recommend targeting the eyes and nose as these are sensitive areas. Remain standing or try to get back up! Respecting wildlife includes being informed on how to avoid or manage wildlife encounters.

Local Elected Officials From Western States Call On Congress To Reauthorize The Land And Water Conservation Fund Highlight The Need to Fully Fund The Program The Mountain Pact, an organization that works with local elected officials from western mountain towns with outdoor recreation-based economies, urged the U.S. Senate to take bipartisan action and pass permanent reauthorization of the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) as part of a public lands package being considered this week. If the Senate passes the bill, it will be up to the House of Representatives to act and pass it as well. Full or permanent funding is likely not going to be included in the bill. The LWCF had expired on September 30, 2018 and was in limbo for over four months at a loss of more than $300 million for conservation and recreation projects across the country. This is on top of the $22 billion that has been lost over the life of the program as LWCF funds have been diverted to other, unknown purposes. The 52 year old LWCF program provides financial support through grants dedicated to expansion, development, and improvement of national parks, forests, monuments, rivers, lakes, wildlife refuges, community parks, trails, and ball fields. The funds are used for recreation infrastructure, conservation, preservation, access, and restoration of natural ecosystems. “Outdoor recreation and proximity to
open spaces - many of which have been enhanced through use of the Land and Water Conservation Fund - draws residents and visitors to our town. Our community is inextricably linked to the American public land system and outdoor recreation. The health, economic success, and cultural vitality of our town has been greatly enhanced by funds from the LWCF. It’s time for Congress to fully fund and permanently reauthorize the LWCF as it is truly one of America’s best conservation programs,” said Frank Lancaster, Town Administrator from the Town Estes Park, Colorado. Mayor William Larson of Red Lodge, Montana, said, “The Land and Water Conservation Fund is a critical piece of bipartisan legislation that significantly impacts our community and communities like ours. We urge Congress to move forward with reauthorizing the LWCF but to also fully and permanently fund the program so we may plan our community’s outdoor recreation opportunities.” More about The Mountain Pact Founded in 2014, The Mountain Pact is an organization that works with local elected officials in fifty mountain communities in all eleven states across the American West to empower them to build resilience in the face of economic and environmental stresses through a shared voice on federal policy related to climate, public lands, and outdoor recreation.
The charge(s) are merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. On January 27 at 12:43 a.m. police stopped the driver of a vehicle in the 400 block of Moraine Ave. for a lane use violation. Upon further investigation the male driver from Estes Park, was found to be driving under the influence of alcohol and he was unable to perform roadside maneuvers. The male was charged with DUI, DUI per se and failure to drive in a single lane and later released to a responsible person. On January 28 at 11:56 a.m. a 35 year old male from Estes Park who was wanted on a warrant turned himself in at 170 MacGregor Ave. (EPPD). He was
wanted for failure to appear on charges from Larimer County for driving under restraint and no insurance. He was later released on a cash bond. On January 30 at 12:14 p.m. police were called to the Estes Park Dog Park at N. St. Vrain and Community Drive on a report of a dog bite. Upon investigation a 58 year old male from Estes Park was issued a vicious animal with injury summons to court and later released. On January 31 at 5:39 p.m. a 45 year old Estes Park male who was wanted on a warrant turned himself in at 170 MacGregor Ave. (EPPD). The warrant was from Larimer County for failure to appear on a misdemeanor, driving under restraint and no insurance. He was later released on a cash bond.

Rocky Mountain National Park Resumes Operations After Government Shutdown And Expresses Appreciation Rocky Mountain National Park employees are happy to be back at work and are in the process of resuming all normal visitor services and operations. Park volunteers are also happy to be back, as they were unable to volunteer during the shutdown. Earlier this week our priority was processing payroll so our employees could begin receiving pay. Our initial challenges will be to reassess hiring priorities and park projects for this year's operations to limit impacts as much as possible, and work on getting contracts for projects back on board. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to our Friend’s Group, and cooperating association, Rocky Mountain Conservancy, for staffing the Fall River Visitor Center for the entirety of the shutdown. This visitor center is located outside of the park near the Fall River Entrance. We would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our neighbors, local businesses, organizations, and national park enthusiasts near and far who were unwavering in their support. We cannot emphasize enough how a simple expression of "we are thinking of you" meant to park staff during the shutdown. The National Park Service’s mission is to conserve the scenery, natural and historic objects and wild life and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for future generations. Rocky Mountain National Park staff are proud to be public servants and we take this mission seriously. During the shutdown, park staff took a number of proactive measures to protect resources by having a strong law enforcement presence in the park. Facility staff limited the impacts on toilet facilities and
trash receptacles in particular by preemptively sealing containers and closing vault toilet facilities during the second week of the shutdown. On January 12, fee funds were approved to be used to bring back a limited number of custodians to begin cleaning these facilities. Most people respect their national treasures and understand and abide by rules and regulations, unfortunately some do not. The park did experience illegal activity during the shutdown, including people driving around locked gates through meadows, and an increase in dogs on park trails. Compared to what some other national park sites experienced in resource damage and illegal activity, we were fortunate that the majority of visitors to Rocky Mountain National Park were remarkable stewards during the shutdown, some going above and beyond in their support and care for their beloved national park. 104 years ago this week, Rocky Mountain National Park was established by a group of passionate, forward looking people who wanted to preserve the high-elevation ecosystems and wilderness character of the southern Rocky Mountains. With your help, we will continue to move forward to provide visitor services and preserve and protect resources in this incredible place. https://www.nps.gov/romo/learn/news/r ocky-mountain-national-park-resumesoperations-and-expresses-appreciationafter-the-government-shutdown. htm Photos depict our staff based on east side and west side of Rocky Mountain National Park. The park employs approximately 150 employees this time of year, some staff were unavailable when the photos were taken this week.

Town Attorney Greg White Announces Retirement Estes Park Health Physicians And Staff To Participate In Educational Opportunities The Estes Park Health Physician Clinic will be closed February 12 from noon to 5:00 p.m. On February 12 the Estes Park Health Physician Clinic will be closed to appointments and walk-in care from noon until 5:00 p.m. so that our employed physicians and staff can participate in educational opportunities. There will be Patient Service Represen-
tatives available for calls during that time and will assist with scheduling appointments or connecting patients who have immediate concerns to clinical support staff.

After more than 40 years serving Estes Park, Town Attorney Greg White has announced his plans to retire. Attorney White served as Assistant Town Attorney from 1978 until 1980, when he was appointed Town Attorney by the Town Board. He will serve until June of 2019, by which time the Town expects to appoint a replacement. Mayor Todd Jirsa commented, “I cannot thank Greg enough for dedicating four decades of his career to the Town of Estes Park.” He continued “That kind of commitment, his breadth of expertise and his institutional knowledge simply cannot be matched – he has set a very high standard for the future.” Looking back on his tenure, White commented, “I have been honored to work for the Town the past four decades – with a diverse group of people, on projects of all shapes and sizes.” White's career highlights include the maturation of the Town's raw water supply and improvement of the Town's water treatment and distribution system (1980s - present), negotiations for acquisition of the site and
operations of the Estes Park Conference Center (a partnership with the Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority), negotiation of development agreements to establish the Stanley Historic District in 1994 including the adoption of the Stanley Historic District Master Plan, and adoption of the joint Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan with Larimer County, establishment of the Estes Valley Planning Area, the Planning Commission and Development Code in 2000, and continued joint efforts with Larimer County to manage land use planning. In search of Attorney White's replacement, the Town will issue a job announcement for an in-house attorney in February. The successful applicant will be appointed by the Town Board, with a goal of having White's successor in place by April in order to allow transition time before White's retirement by June. Complete details will be available at www.estes.org/jobs. For additional information, please contact Town Clerk Jackie Williamson at jwilliamson@estes.org.

Last week I touted the merits of the United States Postal Service. They’ve raised their rates again, don’tcha know, but they deliver letters from coast to coast for a mere 55 cents and that amazes me. Interesting, the response to my column was as divided as opinions about The Wall. For example, Jami from Kansas City said, “I think that sending a letter for 55 cents to a friend across the country is truly a bargain. If I didn’t have the post office option, I would have to drive the letter to her myself. I would have to take into account the wages I was missing from my work while driving the letter, the cost of gasoline for my car, car maintenance so that the car would make it there and back, road toll fees, car snacks (like Doritos and a soda pop) and at least one stop to McDonalds. Fifty-five cents sounds like a bargain to all of that! “Or, I could hire someone to do it for me, but I would have that person’s fee on top of all the others that I listed. I would still be far ahead by paying the post office the 55 cents. “I know that the post office could be more efficient in some areas, but in total measure, I take my hat off to them and am proud to do business with them!” That’s pretty convincing, right? Then we read the opposite view, this one from Kris in Boulder: “I’d have to respectfully disagree with your commendation of the US Postal Service quick delivery times. I’m appalled lately at how long it takes for things I mail to be delivered. A simple birthday card to Raleigh recently took over a week. (I believe eight days.) An item I ordered for a Christmas gift on Dec 11 arrived on Dec 24. When I track my orders from vendors, I see my pack-
ages getting moved all over the country, in complete random trajectories, and just sitting in warehouses for days. So very frustrating. “I’m done with the USPS, and will use other carriers if at all possible.” She has a point. If you’d like to make your own, more informed opinion based on historical facts, Dan in Kansas City offered a couple of resources: “I recently read the book, ‘How the Post Office Created America’ by Winifred Gallagher. It is a ‘masterful history of the USPS.’ The NY Times said, ‘The Post Office forged a communications revolution just as far-reaching as the later telegraph and Internet revolutions.’ “I am now reading the book, ‘The War before the War.’ That is, the Civil War. One anecdote in the book tells of a slave who mailed himself to a slave-free state. There was an instance mentioned in the USPS book about a person who mailed a child. “I highly recommend these two books.” I told Dan when I finish the stack next to my bed, I’ll start on the books he recommended. (The only time I read a book is when I go to bed at night, which means I don’t get very far before the book falls from my loosened grip as I drift off into a state of Z. Ergo, it takes me a while to get through a book. The stack next to the bed is currently up to about six titles. I suggested to Dan that he not hold his breath waiting for my review of his recommended reads.) Dan’s comment brought to mind a song by Woody Guthrie, who was obviously a fan of the USPS: I’m a-gonna wrap myself in paper, I’m a-gonna daub myself with glue, Stick some stamps on top of my head; I’m gonna mail myself to you. I appreciate the feedback I receive from my columns and if I get enough on a single topic, I like to run them so you can be in on the broader conversation. If you are inclined, feel free to send your comments. You don’t have to use the postal service if you don’t want to, although some people still do (most often Dorothy G. in Estes Park). You can e-mail any time. It’s free! You may let The Thunker know what you think at her e-mail address, donoholdt@gmail.com. © 2019 Sarah Donohoe

Aviation Meeting Features Story Of “Miracle On Buffalo PassRocky Mountain Airways Flight 217” And First Officer Gary Coleman The next meeting of the Estes Park Internationale Aviation Club will be held on Wednesday, February 13, 2019, at the American Legion Post 119 Hall, 850 N. St. Vrain Ave., Estes Park, at 6:30 p.m. This meeting is free, open to the public and everyone is welcome. Our speaker for this meeting will be Gary Coleman, a local Estes Park resident who with his brother Don, have owned and operated Ride-A–Kart on Highway 34 for decades. Gary’s early years were spent on a farm near Paton, Iowa, but the family’s positive experience of offering free go-kart rides to school kids on the last day of the school year led to a change in focus on what the family business would be in the future. The Coleman family left farming and Iowa for Colorado, and spent time in Ft. Morgan and Boulder while securing the site in Estes Park and establishing RideA-Kart in 1959. Along the way, Gary attended CU on a music scholarship. He became a pilot, along with both brothers, by flying an airplane purchased by his brother Bill, and receiving instruction from a close friend, Ron Plunket. Gary eventually became a flight instructor himself, and also became a pilot for Rocky Mountain Airways, flying Twin Otter and Dehavilland Dash 7 aircraft. This sequence of events eventually led to the subject of Gary’s presentation, which will be a firsthand account of the events beginning the evening of December 4, 1978, during Rocky Mountain Airways Flight 217, from Steamboat Springs to Denver, with 22
people on board. Less than an hour after takeoff, the flight was forced down on Buffalo Pass, at 10,500 feet, when it encountered severe icing conditions and downdrafts created by the winds of a mountain wave. The accident triggered one of the most intense search and rescue efforts in Rocky Mountain history, in the middle of arctic type blizzard conditions. Folks, you do not want to miss this discussion by Gary Coleman, the First Officer of Flight 217, of the massive and heroic efforts by ground crews to find and recover passengers and the crew of Flight 217, during this intense blizzard. The saga of this heroic effort is documented in the recent book, “Miracle on Buffalo Pass, Rocky Mountain Airways Flight 217” written by Harrison Jones, with coordination from survivors – crew and passengers—and members of the rescue teams.

“Backstage” Premieres This Weekend!
In the theatre, not all the entertainment is on the stage! What goes on backstage? Just what is involved in putting on a production in a small town? A lot more drama and comedy that no one gets to witness! Theatre folks are a determined, varied and extremely weird lot. Mixed in with learning lines and building sets is a tornado of emotions. In the few intense and hectic weeks it takes to put on a play, it's easy to form friends... and enemies. The Estes Park Repertoire Theatre Company's latest production, "Backstage" exposes the laughter, the anguish, and sometimes the sadness that doing a play of any size creates. "Backstage" is local playwright Michael
Young's sixth play, and was created quite easily from his twenty plus years of experience in the theatre. He left nothing out! Your cast consists of veteran actors Christann Higley, CJ Jensen, Cassie Weber and Michael Young. "Backstage" will be performed at the American Legion Post #119 on February 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17. All performances are at 7:00 p.m, doors open at 6:30. Come early! Tickets are $15, and are available at Macdonald Book Shop or at the door. Call the Legion at 586-6118 to make reservations for the special dinner and theatre package! And be prepared to be surprised to see the strange world backstage!

The Path To Healthier Sleep Is Often The Path To A Healthier Life The American Sleep Apnea Association stated that, “Untreated sleep disorders and chronic sleep loss are associated with a significant increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, anxiety and depression, substance abuse, certain types of cancer, automobile crashes, on-the-job accidents and total mortality; along with impaired work productivity, academic performance and reduced quality of life. ” Since 2009, the Estes Park Health Sleep Lab has completed over 1,233 sleep studies to help our patients regain their health. The Sleep Lab is led by UCHealth’s Dr. Mark Neagle, a Board Certified Medical Doctor of Sleep, and meets all standards of American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). The Sleep Lab is also one of a few destinations where a person can participate in a study near the altitude in which they sleep to achieve more accurate results. What’s the purpose of a sleep study? Participating in a sleep study can be a positive first step toward healthy sleep and improving overall health. A sleep study measures characteristics of your sleep and your body’s behavior during sleep. Sleep studies are used to: • Diagnose sleep disorders
• Help your physician determine the right treatment for your sleep disorder There are several different sleep disorders that are diagnosed using sleep studies, including sleep apnea, periodic limb movement disorder, restless leg syndrome and narcolepsy. To learn more about each of these sleep disorders, visit eph.org/our-services/outpatient-clinics. Our sleep studies take place in the Sleep Lab located on the campus of
valued. Sleep is equally as important as nutrition and exercise. You plan meals and schedule exercise, and you should also incorporate seven to nine hours of sleep each day. The National Sleep Foundation offers these six tips for getting a good night’s sleep. 1. Stick to a sleep schedule of the same bedtime and wake up time, even on the weekends. This helps to regulate your
Estes Park Health. You’ll sleep in a private bedroom and be monitored by a sleep technician throughout the night. The technology used can capture detailed data about your body’s activity during sleep and that information will help your physician create the right treatment plan to address your sleep issues. Plan your sleep Prioritizing a good night’s sleep in our culture is often overlooked and under-
body's clock and could help you fall asleep and stay asleep for the night. 2. Practice a relaxing bedtime ritual. A relaxing, routine right before bedtime, conducted away from bright lights, helps separate your sleep time from daytime activities. 3. If you have trouble sleeping, avoid naps. Power napping may help you get through the day, but if you find that you can't fall asleep at bedtime, eliminating even short catnaps may help.
4. Exercise daily. Vigorous exercise is best, but even light exercise is better than no activity. Exercise at any time of day, but not at the expense of your sleep. 5. Evaluate your room. Design your sleep environment to establish the conditions you need for sleep. Your bedroom should be cool – between 60 and 67 degrees. Your bedroom should also be free from any noise that can disturb your sleep. Finally, your bedroom should be free from any light – TV, cell phone, computer. Check your room to minimize noises or other distractions. 6. Sleep on a comfortable mattress and pillows. Make sure your mattress is comfortable and supportive. The one you have been using for years may have exceeded its life expectancy – about 9 or 10 years for most good quality mattresses. If you try these techniques and you still are not sleeping well, you might have a sleep disorder. It is important to share your sleep information with your physician so that you can work on a plan to help you get your ZZZs and stay healthy. You can reach the Estes Park Health Physician Clinic at 970-586-2200 to schedule an appointment with a physician to discuss your sleep concerns.

Estes Park Sports And Fitness Expo Has A New Home In 2019 The Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVPRD) is excited to announce that it has partnered with the Estes Park Sports and Fitness Association as a cohost for the 2019 Estes Park Sports and Fitness Expo. Held on Saturday, March 2 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Estes Valley Community Center, this free event offers Estes Park residents of all ages an opportunity to learn about the health, wellness and fitness offerings in our mountain town. “The key things this event brings to Estes Park is a sense of community, a breadth and depth of experience, and a deep knowledge of the fitness and wellness needs of the Estes Park residents,” said Terry Chiplin, Owner and Founder of Active at Altitude trail running camps. “We want to make fitness as accessible as possible for everyone in the community and the expo is a one-stop event to learn about those resources.” The program for the expo is robust with a focus on keeping attendees active and informed. There will be approximately 20 fitness demonstrations— from karate and self defense to Zumba and yoga—in the pool, gym, classroom and fitness rooms throughout the day. There will also be an exhibit hall where attendees can speak to local business owners about the sports, fitness and
wellness services they offer to help them learn how to develop a healthy lifestyle. “This event will expose people to the holistic wellness opportunities available in Estes Park,” said Amy Hodge, Fitness and Enrichment Coordinator for EVRPD. “Offering exposure to dozens of services for free ensures local residents have no excuse not to come out for this funfilled day of experiencing and learning about fitness firsthand.” The Estes Valley Community Center will also be celebrating their one-year anniversary on March 2 with an open house. Entry to the recreation center will be free for that day so people can get a chance to see all the services and equipment available at the 70,000square-foot facility. In addition, there will be free cake in the exhibitor hall to celebrate the anniversary. If you are interested in reserving a booth and giving a demonstration at the Estes Park Sports and Fitness Expo, contact Terry Chiplin at info@estesparksportsfitness.org. Registration will be available the day of the expo for thai massage. All other events are drop-in, and no registration is required.

Bank Of Estes Park: First Sponsor Of The Month For EVICS Family Resource Center
Jennifer Salinas 11th Grade Estes Valley Investment in Childhood Success (EVICS) extends a hearty THANK YOU to the Bank of Estes Park for being the first monthly sponsor of the new EVICS Family Resource Center. In November, EVICS opened doors at 1182A Graves Ave. The EVICS Family Resource Center is gearing up to provide more robust services for families. Along with the move came a substantial increase in rent. When Tim Hull, President of the Bank of Estes Park, found out about the move, he was eager to help! The generous $2,000 donation from the bank got the ball rolling, and EVICS has secured similar monthly sponsorships for the next nine months. EVICS has applied for membership with the Colorado Family Resource Center Association (FRCA). Membership in the FRCA will open doors to resources, training, networking with other communities, and eventually funding. Executive Director Nancy Al-
mond explains, “In addition to our current services, our staff will be trained to help connect families to vital services we don’t provide, such as access to healthcare, mental health supports, education, human services, and almost anything else families might need to succeed.” After one year of membership, EVICS will be eligible for pass through funding, which will help cover costs of services. But in the meantime, monthly sponsors are needed to help cover increased rent costs for the first year. Monthly sponsorships begin at $1,500. EVICS is thrilled to celebrate the Bank of Estes Park as February, “Sponsor of the Month.” EVICS is currently seeking volunteers, and invites community members to stop in anytime and check out their new location at 1182 Graves Ave, Unit A. Office hours are 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Thurs, and 8:30 a.m.- 3 p.m. on Fridays. Contact EVICS staff at 970-586-3055 or office@evics.org.

“ANOTHER ‘HO-HUM DAY’…” One thing that impressed me when I first moved to Estes Park was the bumper sticker that says: “Another ho-hum day in Paradise”. I bought several and sent them to people to let them know how pleased I was with our area. However, as I thought further about its message, I wondered if people get the idea our area is ‘ho-hum’, as in, ‘boring’. I hope not. I am so thankful for and proud of our area. Our church gives a three-hour DVD of the wildlife and natural beauties of our area, put to music, to every visitor to our services, encouraging them to enjoy it when they get back home to remind them to return and enjoy in person what we enjoy all the time. Most of us never tire of seeing the elk and deer, the soaring eagles, Big Horn sheep, etc. We don’t pull to the side of the road, like visitors do, but our hearts ‘skip a beat’ and we thank God for these sights. However that brings me to a dilemma many endure on a regular basis: a ‘ho-hum’, even truly ‘boring’, life. Someone correctly observed: “America is suffering from a plague of boredom. And it’s wasting lives, destroying families, and makes us a nation of depressed people who escape life and boredom, by watching TV and DVD after DVD.” One study reports that 54% of workers go to jobs to escape the boredom of life at home. It found that 70% of school students state they are bored with school. In many marriages one partner becomes bored with the relationship and reaches out to someone else. Many people say they avoid church services because they are ‘boring’. And it raises its ugly head in other tragic ways. Three young people shoot a total stranger because, according to them, they ‘were bored’. Others get ‘drunk’ or ‘stoned’ in order to dull their boredom. So, how about you? Are you, according to one author, ‘Bored in the midst of a culture of entertainment’? If so, you are responsible! Believe it or not, no one is charged with keeping you from being bored! A mother taking her child to school told the principal, “I hope my child will be happy here.” He replied, “Ma’am, this school is not in the ‘happiness’ business. We teach young minds!” It’s the same with churches, isn’t it? Surveys show that many think that church is in the ‘happiness’ business. One thorough survey revealed that 89% of the people who attend church, go for what they ‘can get out of it’, while 11% go to honor and worship God. One expert noted that many attending a worship service believe that people in the pews are the ‘audience’, the minister and music leaders are the ‘performers’ (and better be good) and God is just looking on. In reality, people in the pews are the ‘performers’, God is the ‘audience’, checking to see how His ‘worshippers’ perform, with worship leaders serving simply as ‘prompters’. So, these things being true, what is ‘boredom’ all about? Why are people ‘bored’? The main reason is that such people are ‘me-oriented’, seeing themselves as ‘deserving’ of being entertained, pleased, served, and in other ways, pampered. All segments of society are to cater to and serve them. If not, they become one of those ‘bored’ people who go elsewhere to alleviate their boredom…to a local bar, to social media to view pornography, listen to gossip, or find some other sad substitute for reality. So, what should we do, when bored? First of all: give thanks for what you have: your wife, your job, your situation. Second: get out of yourself and serve others. Few committed-to-service people, ever become bored, because there are needs all around us. And, as God says: “Whatever you do, do it with your might.” Bye, bye, boredom! (Bob)

What am I?
Estes Park Kiwanians invite community members to join them at their morning meeting on Friday, February 15th, 7:15 a.m. at The Other Side restaurant, for a continuation of a presentation about the Galapagos Islands begun at their previous meeting. Local naturalists Gary

I love the lady dogs and do okay with the boy dogs after we take a little walk together. I have a smile that will warm your heart and I walk right by your side on a leash. All the volunteers love to spend time with me. I ride great in the car too! Please call the Animal Hospital of the Rockies to make an appointment to meet me. I am such a good boy! Larry is currently living at the Animal Hospital of the Rockies, 453 Pine River Ln. Call (970) 586-4703 for more information or stop down to meet this cool dude!

The Gardens On Spring CreekNorthern Colorado’s Premier Horticulture Display Garden The idea of having a community horticulture center in Fort Collins, CO was first conceived in 1986. Over the next 33 years it took a collaboration between private citizens, the City of Fort Collins, and the Colorado State University Research Foundation to bring that vision to fruition. The first critical step in the garden’s development did not come until 1995, when the founding non-profit group successfully convinced the Fort Collins city council to initiate a city-funded community horticulture program. The positive results of that program's dozens of gardens and gardening projects were then used as a springboard to secure the endorsement of voters in a 1997 municipal election, resulting in two million dollars in city funding to build the Gardens on Spring Creek. Herb Schaal, Principal with EDAW, Inc., who I had worked with on the Rock Alpine Garden at the Denver Botanic Gardens, was selected to guide development of the Master Plan for the new Fort Collins garden. The garden officially opened to the public in 2004, upon completion of the Visitor’s Center, and the first garden, the Children’s Garden, opened in 2006. By autumn of this year, full build-out of the 18 acre site will have been realized. We are pleased to have as our speaker for the February 11th meeting of the Estes Park Garden Club, Michelle Provaznik, Executive Director of the Gardens on Spring Creek. For the past 11 years Michelle, along with a dedicated staff and group of volunteers, has been able to execute many key plans for the Gardens. She is currently overseeing completion of a six million dollar capital construction project to complete the Gardens Master Plan. The Gardens on Spring Creek is undoubtedly the most accessible and im-

portant horticultural display garden in Northern Colorado. As a resource for Estes Valley gardeners you will find the new additions to be of considerable interest. The Great Lawn, an outdoor concert and entertainment venue, The Undaunted Garden, with plant selection and design by Lauren Springer Ogden, and two “life-zone” gardens, The Prairie Garden and Foothills Garden, have dramatically increased the number and arrangements of plants to be observed and tried by Estes Valley gardeners. Please join members of the Estes Park Garden Club at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, February 11th, in the Hondius Room of the Estes Valley Library, to learn more about these exciting new additions to The Gardens on Spring Creek. The meeting is free and open to the public.

New Year Brings New Opportunities For Older Adults In Estes Park The Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVPRD) has developed a robust schedule of programming and activities for active older adults in Estes Park as EVRPD continues to foster a culture of positive aging for the community. As part of this initiative for 2019, senior services will now also include adult activities. The programs will continue to be developed and administered by the programming team located at the Estes Valley Community Center, now overseen by Nolan Oberg, Recreation Manager for EVRPD. Kelly Claypool and Beth Headley, Recreation Coordinators for Senior Services and Adult Activities, will support Mr. Oberg in his expanded role. “What we do here is for everybody,” said Mrs. Claypool. “We want to make this an all-inclusive facility for people to age gracefully—no matter their interest, abilities or age. We want to encourage aging well. ” There have been many additions and expansions in the services offered for adult activities since the Estes Valley Community Center opened almost one year ago. In November 2018, SilverSneakers was added as a membership option. This program, which is the nation’s leading, comprehensive exercise program for older adults, has been extremely popular with Estes Park residents. SilverSneakers membership at the community center
has exceeded expectations by about 150 percent. With the addition of SilverSneakers memberships, EVRPD also added SilverSneakers classes at the Estes Valley Community Center. All have seen consistent attendance so more are anticipated to be added in the summer 2019 schedule. Classes include the SilverSneakers Circuit, an upbeat workout combining low-impact choreography with strength training, and the SilverSneakers Classic I, a class for increasing muscle strength and range of movement. The circuit workout is offered on Monday and Thursday mornings and the classic class is offered on Wednesday mornings. “We are excited to offer a wide variety of programming for people in all stages of life, ” said Amy Hodge, Fitness and Enrichment Coordinator. “The lineup of classes has been designed to help our community learn how to live longer and healthier lives while having fun. ” EVRPD continues to offer free coffee on weekdays and the weekly activities of palette pals art group on Monday morn-

I hope y’all got the correction for what size baking pans to us for the eggnog bread-mini loaf pans or large muffin tins. Sorry about that but I had copied the recipe just as sent to me. I had a few calls on that so emailed Becky to get the correction. As I told you, I have been having fun going to our “Grace and Grub.” Since we are to take a dish, I have been doing either a dessert or stuffed eggs. Seems a lot of people choose dessert so the next time I will take my dressed eggs again. Now some people have a fancy egg cooker and have no problem with boiling eggs here at high altitude, I do not have such an apparatus. I have found the following method to be quite successful here in Estes. But recently I read of a new method that I have not had the courage to try. I give you first my tried and true way of preparing boiled eggs and the second one is for you and me to experiment with boiling them. Method #1 Start with tap temperature water Make sure all your eggs sit flat on the bottom of the pot, not piled on top of one another Ensure that the pot is on a burner that it fits over, not too small. Once you’ve placed the eggs in the pot, add the water to fully cover your eggs. Place 2-3 teaspoons of salt in the water depending on how big your pot is. This helps prevent cracking and makes peeling easier. Let water come to a rolling boil at medium to high heat, boil for two minutes and then remove from heat and cover the pot and let eggs sit for 15 min. for med-hard and 20 minutes for fully cooked. Set your timer. Now take them out they should be fully cooked. Place them in ice cold water and peel as needed or store for later use. The cold water helps with the peeling. When
in the ice water, I crack them a bit to let the water seep into the shells, it makes for easier peeling. *Note, that if your eggs have been in the fridge, the cooking time may vary. Enjoy your hard-boiled eggs for eating as is or make them dressed (stuffed). Method #2 Start eggs in boiling water! Time to cook eggs depends on if you want them soft boiled, runny yolks etc. the following times are: 4 minutes-you can eat with a spoon from shell 5 minutes-the white is firm with runny yolk 6 minutes-has a nice and gooey yolk 8 minutes-will have a set yolk but still a little gooey 10 minutes-firmer pale yolk but slightly soft in middle 12 minutes-almost completely hardboiled 14 minutes-completely hard-boiled and crumbly dry pale yolk. Shock with ice water and follow former directions before peeling. Now I am still a little skeptical about putting eggs in boiling water but will try this method just to see…with one egg! On Feb. 6 (which time has passed when y’all read this column) I am having surgery to my right hand due to damage from arthritis. My granddaughter, Elizabeth, will be here from Huston to help care for me. I am writing this on Saturday, Feb. 2. I hope for a quick recovery, but my hand will be in a cast for six weeks. I do not know about typing the column. Maybe I will do another one this weekend, ahead of time. My email: esther.cenac@gmail.com Bon Appétit.

“Author, Author:” Library Celebrates Local Writers This Weekend This weekend, we’re keeping it local. It’s a festive occasion when we can invite a local author to the Estes Valley Library, connecting a hometown or regional writer with readers eager to delve into new pages. It becomes a true festival when we can bring together eight — count ‘em, eight — authors all in one event. Now in its fourth year, the Love Your Local Authors Festival is happening at the library this Saturday, February 9, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. This event is special for many reasons. First is the “keeping it local” theme. These writers are all from Estes Park or one of our nearby communities. Some are names you know and count among your neighbors and friends. A second attraction is the opportunity to hear so many different authors, speaking on a vast variety of topics and from different genres, all in one sitting. Many big cities have an annual book festival. Our event is right-sized for the Estes Valley. A third element is the chance to visit personally with each author. It’s a true ‘mix and mingle’ atmosphere, where you can discuss each author’s inspiration for their book and gain a deeper understanding of the creative process. Think of it as speed-dating for book lovers. The “Love Your Local Authors Festival” is a great fit for one of our key strategic goals: to enable a greater sense of community by bringing readers to-

gether in shared literary experiences. Here’s what you can expect if you attend: Beginning at 1 p.m. in the Hondius Room, while attendees are seated, our eight featured authors will give a brief talk about their book. Afterward, attendees can visit one, or two, or all eight authors. Saturday’s featured books range from a murder mystery with a cozy Colorado setting to a beloved local comic strip, and from a history of Valley Forge to a memoir of life on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. And much, much more. Authors in attendance include (alphabetically): Sharon Arms, James Bachman, Timothy Buck, J.J. Johnson, Betty Hull, Shannon Lembke, Pat Washburn, and Kevin Wolf. In addition to the festival, be sure to visit our current Love Your Local Authors book display. You’ll find some great books by these and other local authors. Most of Saturday’s authors will have copies of their books available for sale. It’s an excellent opportunity to get an autographed copy for yourself or as a gift. No registration is necessary. We hope to see you on Saturday. In this month of Valentine’s Day love, what fun to show our support and appreciation for the writers, researchers and creative people right in our midst.
Auditions for the Fine Arts Guild Youth Theatre Camp are around the corner. This summer the Youth Theatre will perform Bye Bye Birdie: Young Performers Edition. Bye Bye Birdie takes the audience to 1960s small town America and the era of early Rock n’Roll. Conrad Birdie, a teenage rock and roll idol, has been inducted into the army and his managers concoct a publicity stunt to send him off. Birdie will bid a typical teenage girl goodbye with a public goodbye kiss. The lucky girl, randomly chosen, is Kim McAfee of Sweet Valley, Ohio, a member of Conrad Birdie’s fan club. Birdie travels to Sweet Valley and the fun begins! This is an upbeat, funny musical with energetic dance and musical numbers for the entire cast. Everyone who auditions will be cast. This summer’s camp will be directed by Danielle Hermon Wood, the Music Director of the Bixby School in Boulder and a nominee for the Colorado Theatre Guild’s Henry Award for Outstanding Actress in a musical. Choreographer Becca Greer is the teaching assistant at Parker Performing Arts and instructor, performer and choreographer for Inspire Theater Company at the PACE Center. The Technical Director, Greig Steiner, has been a force in the arts community in Estes Park for over 60 years. His talents span all of the visual arts and in-
clude sets designed in California, Estes Park and Ft. Collins.

Our girls high school swim team demonstrated what a team is all about. No matter the adversity they stuck together and supported each other throughout the entire year. As a first year coach I couldn't have asked for more from these amazing girls. Our team was comprised of only seven swimmers, perhaps one of the smallest teams Estes Park has had. We had the smallest team in our conference and in swimming that is a tremendous disadvantage when competing in meets. The more swimmers you have the more points you have the opportunity to score. We were competing with teams with as many as 40 or more girls. This did not deter this strong group of girls. I didn't know what to expect but we all set our goals high and the girls performed consistently at high levels due to their work and dedication. Not only were they putting in hard workouts in the pool but they were in the gym lifting to get stronger as well. They all put in the extra effort to be better athletes. All this hard work paid off last week at conference where everyone swam their best times of the year. All seven of the girls made it back to finals. Some highlights. Kaelin Flanery was named Tri-Valley Outstanding Swimmer of the year! She also got 2nd in the 100 Free with a time of 58.4 and 2nd in the 200 free with a time of 2:05.9 making All Conference in both. Abby Lemirande was Conference Champion in the
free. Ella Santagati was 9th in the 200 IM & 15th in the 100 Breast Eva Stein was 11th in the 100 back & 17th in the 50 free Laura Mastrodi was 16th in the 50 free & 18th in the 100 free. Lastly our 200 free relay placed 2nd with a State cut & our 400 free relay was 4th making a State cut and our 200 IM relay
placed 6th. The whole team will now go to State to swim meet this Friday the 8th & 9th. Kaelin and Abby will be swimming two individual events each and we are swimming in the 200 & 400 free relays. Coach Sherry Flanery said, “It was a great swim meet. Conference was amazing, we have a small but mighty team and these kids achieved a a lot of perssonal bests. It truly has been a joy coachh ing i these young ladies. I couldn’t have l asked for a better a group of ladies to g coach. Great job, c Bobcats - hard work B pays p off!” Good luck at State this t weekend!

Red Envelope Dinner Benefits Partners Mentoring Youth
Can you think back and remember someone in your life that made an impact on you? Maybe it was a coach, a relative or a close friend.

Partners Mentoring Youth aims to help more kids in Estes Park experience the benefits of mentorship. Partners matches positive adult role models with youth, ages 7-17, who could use a little extra support; the same type of support we have all had at some point in our lives.

about the power of mentoring. Enjoy a delicious dinner at Mama Rose’s Restaurant at no cost and make a contribution to Partners in a red envelope.

Dances Of Universal Peace Thank You To Our Science Festival Sponsors By: Sam Honda, Sam Workman, and Meah Weaver (8th grade EPMS students)
On the 25th of January of this year the EPMS Science Department hosted the 11th Annual Science Festival. This event serves two purposes. One is to showcase the work and talents of our middle school students. The other is to serve as a fundraiser for the Science Department. We greatly appreciate all of our sponsors that participated and donated this year! All of the profits earned go directly back towards the Estes Park Science Department budget so our students can have more hands-on learning by being able to purchase necessary supplies and equipment. Without the donations and assistance from our sponsors, we never could have broken the $2,000 barrier for our Silent Auction, which we did for the first time! A final total of $2,135 was brought in this year. Once again, we thank all of our sponsors for their participation, which helped make our Science Festival was a monumental success! Below are the sponsors who so generously gave their
time and resources.

You and your friends are invited to join us at Estes Park Yoga on Saturday, February 16, at our new time for winter, 2:00-4:00 for the Dances of Universal Peace. There are several benefits to your health by participation in dancing, as strengthening the heart, lungs, coordination and balance. However, the more important benefit may be the sense of peace that comes with removing yourself from the distractions of the 10,000 things in life. You maybe be surprised by the pleasure that happens when you join a circle of welcoming people gathered for the peace dances doing easily learned songs and movements that reflect values that cross all religions. We welcome individuals and families to
this practice. So, be a friend and bring a friend. The dances are offered by donation; no one is denied joining in these interfaith practices with the repetition of sacred phrases and heartfelt movements. Please bring water to revive you after the exuberant dances; also, refrain from wearing fragrances, as some people have sensitivities. Dancers are encouraged to be aware of an upcoming opportunity to be held March 15-17 with Pir Shaba Kahn in Boulder. Therefore we will not have our local dance usually held every third Saturday of the month. Call Linda Bensey at 970-214-7719 for additional information.

Edley And Beverly Scott Edley Pearlman Scott Jr. (89) and Beverly Jean Scott (82) died peacefully two weeks apart in their Longmont home. Bev was born June 9, 1936 in Norfork, NY and died January 20, 2019. Ed was born April 19, 1929 in Washington, NY and died February 2, 2019. Ed and Bev both attended Dover Plains High School in New York. Ed proudly served in the Navy from 1948-1952, and then married Bev on July 23, 1955 in Dover Plains. They moved to Niwot, Colorado in 1965 to create a home and raise their family, until they both retired from IBM. In 1987 they moved south to Snowflake, Arizona and enjoyed their retirement there until 2006 when they moved back to Colorado to be closer to family. Ed made beautiful ceramics and jewelry, golfed frequently, and loved to grow vegetables and make wine. Bev was very close to her large family and was always a great host to her many good friends. She also enjoyed playing golf, and was a huge Rockies and Bronco fan. Both Ed and Bev travelled often to a beach or the mountains with friends or family, and put many happy miles on their RV.
Ed and Bev will be remembered by all who knew them as a fun and caring couple that proved love is to the end for each other and their family and friends. They are survived by their three children Kevin (Cindy) Scott of Estes Park, CO, Barbara Scott of Bend, OR, and Lisa Scott of Greeley, CO. Bev also leaves two dear sisters. Joan Cutler of Wappenger Falls, NY and Rose Annis of Wilmington, NC. Bev and Ed will be dearly missed by their three grandchildren Brian (Angela) Scott of Windsor, CO, Eric (Jennifer) Scott of Estes Park, CO and Lily (David) Trager of New York, NY. They also leave ten greatgrandchildren: Jayson, Owen, Aidyn, Evin, Abigayle, Oscar, Logan, Tyler, Dylan and Quinn. Both Ed and Bev were preceded in death by their parents, Bev’s siblings Robert, Alice, David, and Reba, and Ed’s siblings John, Eleanor, William, Theresa, Virginia, Lyda, Elizabeth, Francis, Robert and Joseph. In lieu of flowers, a memorial contribution in their daughter Lisa’s name would make them smile. If you wish, please donate to The ARC of Weld County c/o Allnutt Funeral Service, 1302 Graves Ave., Estes Park, CO 80517.

Ernest W. Peterson st
February 1 , 2019 at 11:25 p.m., Ernest Wesley Peterson peacefully passed away and into the presence of the Lord. He lived a rich and vibrant life, deeply cherished by those he knew. His parents migrated from Sweden before Ernest was alive. He was born March 30th, 1926 in Twin Falls, ID where he grew up learning the skills and family business of dairy farming. Drafted into the army in 1953, Ernest served his country for two years. While serving, he attended regular chapel Sunday services and grew in his desire to know the Lord. During the years 1957-61, he pursued a major in biology at the College of Idaho. However, his interest in religious courses only continued to increase and eventually, in 1961, after graduating from college, Ernest enrolled at and attended Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. The year 1965 was a highly significant year for him. He met and married his love, Evelyn Edie, he graduated from seminary, and was ordained and installed as a pastor at Sunbeam Presbyterian Church outside Aledo, IL. The following year, Ernest and Evelyn had their first child, Ellen (Peterson) Reinertsen, born July 14th, 1966. In April of 1971, they joyfully adopted another daughter, Amy (Peterson) Borrego, born August 16th, 1970. During the years 1970-91, Ernest transitioned to preach and pastor at two small churches, Media Community Presbyterian Church in Media, IL and Stronghurst U.P. Church in Stronghurst, IL. In June of 1991, after completing 25 years of service in the gospel ministry, Ernest and Evelyn happily retired to the beautiful state of CO and resided at the East edge of Fort Collins. During their retired years in Fort Collins, Ernest remained active in ministry serving as a visitation pastor at First Presbyterian Church and was commissioned, along with Evelyn, as leaders of Stephen Ministry also at First Presbyterian Church.
Ernest and his wife spent their remaining years together continuing to touch people’s lives through numerous different outreach activities.
