Wild TurkeyNot A Rare Bird In Estes Park Wild turkeys are often seen between Estes Park and Loveland. There is a flock living in Glen Haven and occasionally, some birds are seen in Estes. Keep a watchful eye for them, BUT, they may all be in hiding now.... at least until after Thanksgiving. Photo by EP NEWS/ Kris Hazelton

Urge For Voters To Help Decide The Future Dear Editor, A group of citizens is asking Estes Park voters to sign a petition for an ordinance requiring that there be a public vote to approve the terms of sale for any Townowned property within the Stanley Historic District. The Stanley Hotel is a powerful symbol of Estes Park. Its success or failure influences every business and resident in the Estes Valley. The Town created the Stanley Historic District to physically and economically preserve the Hotel. The Town’s ordinance says it is intended to “ensure that development in the foreground of the Stanley Hotel Complex does not destroy its essential historic character, or lessen its ability to conduct an economically viable operation.” The Town owns four lots in the Historic District, including Lot 4, purchased under a 1997 lease-purchase contract for $807,000 plus interest. Last year, the Town entered a contract to sell Lot 4 to a developer for $1.25 million. Despite public objections, the Town gave the developer variances doubling the allowed square footage from the Historic District Plan. The developer plans to build a restau-

rant/wedding hall, retail and office space, and condo townhomes. The Stanley Hotel legally challenged this contract. The trial court voided that sales contract, but the Town wants to give the contract to the same developer again -without new bids or proposals. Because the court case is now on appeal, years of litigation may delay the project. In September 2007, members of the Association for Responsible Development decided to submit a citizen’s initiative concerning the fate of Lot 4. We then formed “Friends of Stanley Lot 4” for one purpose: to allow the people to decide. The question of how to develop the Historic District is crucial to the future of Estes Park. Town property belongs to you, the voters, not town officials. Requiring voter approval creates accountability for selling public property. The petition drive seeks to gather a minimum of 300 signatures (210 are required). Town Trustees will then have a chance to vote in favor of the citizen-initiated ordinance, or the ordinance will appear on the April ballot. Readers can help by signing the petition, volunteering to help, and by telling the Town trustees to adopt the ordinance. Please call one of us if you would like to help.

Volunteers Begin Canvass Of Estes Park for Petition Signatures On Friday, November, 9, volunteers for Friends of Stanley Lot 4 began their petition drive calling for an election concerning the sale of Lot 4 in the Stanley Historic District. “We had a great turnout,” said Byron Hall, chairman of the organization. Hall said that about twenty volunteers attended the Friday morning meeting, with organizers contacting other volunteers unable to attend. Attendees learned how to gather valid petition signatures. Only registered voters within Estes Park can sign the petitions, although anyone at least 18 years of age can solicit petition signatures. Hall said that by Monday, some volunteers were seeking more petition forms. “I’m grateful that so many voters are taking an interest in the development of Stanley Historic District Lot 4.” Hall said that some volunteers planned to gather signatures outside the post office this week, while others are walking neighborhoods. The citizen-initiated ordinance would require that the sale terms and conditions for the sale of any Town property in the Stanley Historic District be submitted at a regular or special election for approval. “We believe that voter approval ensures accountability,” said Hall. Hall also said that once the organization submits its petition, the Town Trustees will have a chance to approve the ordinance, rather than force an election. “If the Town passes the ordinance, then a specific development proposal could appear on the April ballot, instead of our proposed ordinance,” Hall said.

On The Other Hand David Tavel The horse came galloping up the dusty trail, the dark feathered creature on its back bouncing up and down as its snood flopped around its beak, and shouting out "To arms, to arms, the Pilgrims are coming. The Pilgrims, the Pilgrims. You know what they’re going to do to us." The horse suddenly dug his front hooves into the dirt and came to an abrupt stop, throwing the turkey over his head and onto the ground. "Do to US!" the larger animal exclaimed. "I’m no turkey. So why am I running? You can do your own running. Why, I’ve heard you can run 55 miles an hour. That’s as good as I can do in the Kentucky Derby." Gasping for breath as he picked himself up off the ground, the turkey flapped dust off his wings and managed a "It’s going to be a Thanksgiving. For you, be thankful you’re not a turkey." Other turkeys appeared from all directions, one walking right across in front of the horse, and prompting the latter to ask "Why did the turkey cross the road?" "It’s the chicken’s day off," his former rider answered. The horse chuckled, then asked, "What’s all this about Pilgrims?" The turkey responded, "They’re people who landed hereabouts a year ago. Many soon died of starvation, and now a ship has come with supplies. So they and their local friends, whom they call Indians, but who have never been to India, are going to celebrate by eating a lot of us." The horse shook his head, neck, and mane, "With all the codfish, duck, wild fowl, and deer, not to mention lobsters for the guy who writes this column, why are they going to eat turkey? Do they have no sense of taste?" "Seems they like drumsticks, and there are only two per turkey." "So why don’t you cross a couple of your lesser relatives with an octopus? That way you’ll get enough drumsticks for the entire party!" the horse suggested. With that answer they all turned and proceeded up the trail and out of sight, leaving it to us to consider some other facts about the Pilgrims and the First Thanksgiving, some of which we don’t teach our youngsters. In the early 1600s. uncomfortable with the lack of religious tolerance in England, those we would today call the left-wingers of English Puritanism moved to Holland. There they lived until, with the help of a well-placed friend back in England, they received a grant to settle in Virginia. They picked the worst season of the year for a trans-Atlantic voyage, had a miserable trip, and on 11 November 1620 (which, for obvious reasons, they did not celebrate as

Estes Park NEWS, The Independent and Locally Owned Source for Community Happenings either Armistice Day or Veterans Day) anchored off Cape Cod in Massachusetts Bay . . . a long way from Virginia. With a typical English leaning toward self-government they drew up a compact, agreeing to majority rule until such time as they got things in order. They were lucky in one respect, the fields in the immediate area were deserted. They were also fortunate when a local inhabitant -- an Indian, of course -- befriended them and taught these largely helpless unskilled visitors how to fish and plant corn. Half their number died that first winter. Without help from the natives the other half probably would have perished, too. Roughly a year after they landed --- we don’t know the exact date --- those still living decided to celebrate their survival. Just at that time a ship aptly named Fortune arrived with badly needed provisions. The Pilgrims and some Indian friends then set about for three days of celebrating with eating and whatever until their supplies were again low. And they would spend several more miserable winters. That first Thanksgiving took place at the end of the 1621 harvest, nearly a year after the landing at Plymouth. Our history books tell us that the Pilgrims invited the Wampanoag Indians to what became a three day feast. A half century later the Puritans proceeded to destroy the Wampanoags, primarily those along the south shore of Massachusetts Bay. White man’s treatment of red man was well on its way to more than two centuries of bloody efforts at removing or destroying the native peoples. Governor John Winthrop of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which quickly swallowed up the Pilgrims, justified taking Indian lands by claiming that the area was legally a vacuum since the natives had not "subdued" (cultivated) the land. We know, however, that they did raise crops, and taught that knowledge to the white man. The latter finally decided that the Indian had a "natural" right but not a "civil right," hence he did not own the land. The white man used his bible to justify and legalize the ensuing treatment of the natives. Psalms 2:8 "Ask of me and I shall give thee, the heathen for thine inheritance. Romans 13:2 "Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God." This coming Thursday will be another Thanksgiving Day . . . for non-native Americans. Once again we’ll gobble down chunks of turkey saying how delicious it is, all the while wishing it were filet mignon or boiled live lobster. ––– "You know," said the turkey as he, the horse, and the other turkeys slowly made their way along the trail, "There’s a lot of truth and more than a little corn in what we said above." The horse whinnied, "Yeh, but there was also a lot of corn eaten at that first Thanksgiving." "A different kind," said the turkey looking up at him. "May I ride again?" The horse whinnied again, "It’s Thanksgiving. Why not!" EP NEWS/ Hazelton

Ask Planning Commission To Reject Hwy. 7 Condo Project To The Editor: As a long-time visitor to and current resident of Estes Park, I am strongly opposed to the proposed plans for developing the five-acre lot at Lexington Avenue on Highway 7. These plans, which involve building a high density cluster of condominiums on the site, would eliminate a known elk calving and deer fawning area, block an important movement corridor for the herds, and greatly increase traffic and the likelihood of animal/vehicle accidents. I believe there are other, more wildlife friendly options for this property, and ask the Planning Commission to reject the current development proposal, and encourage the developer to work with the Estes Valley Land Trust to explore options more in keeping with the character of Estes Park. Sincerely, Ronald F. Norris

The garage of this home on Fish Creek Road was fully engulfed in flames.

Structure Fire On Fish Creek Road On Tuesday afternoon, November 13, 2007 at 1:50 p.m. the Estes Park Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to a structure fire at 1601 Fish Creek Rd, Estes Park. Upon arrival, the responding units observed a two-story wooden structure with flames showing from the garage. The firefighters engaged in a direct attack on the fire from three sides of the structure battling fire as well as high winds in the area. Firefighters were able to bring the fire under control within 30 minutes. Command then directed firefighters to start mop-up operations, investigating for fire extension into the structure. Firefighters utilized a thermal imaging camera in an attempt to find any hot spots left undetected by sight or feel. The investigation determined most of the damage was limited to the garage. Aggressive firefighting operations saved the home. The sheetrock wall between the garage and the home proved to be an effective firebreak until firefighters could arrive. Smoke detectors in the home worked properly and warned the occupants of the fire danger. The cause is still under investigation and remains undetermined. Responding units included 22 Estes Park,

nine Allenspark, and six Glen Haven firefighters. Responding apparatus included Engine 1, Engine 2, Engine 10 and Squad 3. Allenspark responded with three apparatus and Glen Haven with two. Fish Creek Rd. was closed to traffic in both directions due to required placement of apparatus, location of fire hydrants and firefighters’ safety. No firefighters or occupants were injured during firefighting operations.

EPFD Chief Scott Dorman was the first firefighter on the scene and took command. Allenspark and Glen Haven Fire Departments also responded to help.

Automotive repair equipment and collectible classic cars were destroyed.

Fire personnel attacked the fire from three different angles.

As band parents, we are so proud of the entire group and especially grateful to the parents, staff and community members who made the trip possible. These folks had to change their schedules around when snow moved the trip by a week. They gave three days out of busy schedules to drive to Grand Junction, chaperone, help with the performance and support the band. If you see any of these folks over the next few days, please acknowledge them. Without their help and time, the trip would not have been possible. Thank you to Mr. Chuck Varilek, Band Director, Monica Grigg, Flag Instructor, Ward Durrett, Percussion Instructor, Noreen Musick, Bus Driver, Julene Zander, Equipment Truck Driver, Sharlyn Gamber, Charlie and Cindy Grigg, Jan and Sharon Jensen, Chad Musick, Larry Pesses and Patti Chavin, Adam Pryce, Sue Shull, George Weaklim, Jeff and Chris Wenzel and their two young children, George Weaklim and Sue Shull.

Dear Kind Citizens of Estes Park, I am hoping that you can help me. For many generations my family has lived in the Estes Valley. One of our favorite spots to feed and rut is at the meadow on Highway 7 and Lexington Lane. Many of my relatives and siblings were born right there on that property. Where I need your help is that me and my entire family are about to possibly lose our home. A big developer from the city has decided to build 42 condominiums there. Every year it is getting harder and harder for us to find open spaces left in Estes Park. Our home on Highway 7 and Lexington Lane is one of the last places we can go to gather, rest or for our babies to be born. I am worried that soon we will have no place left to go. People say that animals don’t have a voice, but I don’t believe that. I know that most of the people who have come to live in Estes Park are drawn here because they care about and appreciate the natural beauty of the area and the abundant wildlife. I am hoping that writing this letter will inspire the kind peo-

To The Editor: I have owned property in the area of Lexington Lane and Highway 7 for 48 years. I have made my home here for the last four years. My concern is the building of approximately 40 condos on the acreage in this area that now serves as rutting, calving and grazing habitat for elk and deer. For anyone who has stopped to watch the groups (25-100 or more) of elk on this acreage is a sight to see. We always know when the elk are in that pasture as the cars are stopped along Highway 7 for viewing and pictures. We hope that many of the Estes Park residents that have enjoyed this activity will attend the Planning Commission meeting on November 20, 2007 at 1:30 p.m. to express their concern about this elk habitat being taken away from the animals so more condos can be built.

Leave Open Space Open To The Editor: We are concerned about the proposed new development of condominiums on Highway 7 and Lexington Lane. Many other Estes Park residents are concerned as well. Please folks, this is our beautiful Estes Park. We pride ourselves in being in partnership with nature. The wildlife in the area are counting on us to continue that partnership. This five acre parcel is the birthing site for elk and deer. Don’t we all have a special place in our hearts for where we were born? The wildlife need us to preserve some space for them. If the condos are built, the resulting water problems, traffic problems and the other problems too, are not in the best interest of Estes Park. The elk and deer will have problems too! The large multiunit building will act like the Great Wall of China to the animals that presently use this crossing. Please, we need to leave the space open. Thank you, Don and Mary Jane Seibold

Citizens Of Estes Park, We Need Your Help! To The Editor: Many of you know that a Boulder developer has proposed a 42 unit condo development for the open 5+ acres on the corner of Highway 7 and Lexington Lane, the place where all the elk and deer congregate just west of the golf course. The Northeast Regional Manager of the Colorado Division of Wildlife has provided our Community Development Department Director with a letter stating, in part “Many species of wildlife use this site with elk or wapiti, the most notable. In addition, elk use this site and the surrounding area to feed, rut and calve. Mule deer, in smaller numbers use this site year round. Black bears in the summer and fall are commonly in the area. An increase in vehicular traffic will likely increase accidents with wildlife. Already there is a severe problem in this area.” The letter in its entirety can be viewed on the town’s website www.estesnet.com/comdev/Applications/11 -07/WapitiCrossingCondosDP0713DOWcomments.PDF. The Estes Valley Development Code, Chapter 7.8, entitled “Wildlife Habitat Protection” states as it’s purpose “To maintain and enhance the diversity of wildlife species and habitat that occur in the Estes Valley, and to plan and design land uses to be harmonious with wildlife habitat and the species that depend on this habitat for the economic, recreational and environmental benefit of the residents of and visitors to the Estes Valley.” The code goes on to provide, in Chapter 7.8, section F.3 - ”DOW Review. For applications referred to it, the Division of Wildlife will determine whether the proposal will result in significant adverse impact on wildlife or wildlife habitat only

A calving, lambing or fawning area, c. Bighorn sheep or Bighorn sheep habitat, d. Raptor nest site, or e. Riparian areas and wetlands. Many of the neighbors of this property have met to discuss the merits of this proposed development, the impact on the neighborhood, and the adverse impact it would have on the local wildlife. We strongly believe that the proposed high density development is not suited for this 5+ acre plot. The Colorado Division of Wildlife has defined this area as a calving area which is in turn protected in Section 7.8 of the Estes Valley Development Code. As a result we believe the Estes Valley Planning Commission has the grounds and authority to deny the Wapiti Crossing Development Plan even though the Community Development Department staff is recommending approval. The Estes Valley Planning Commission meets at 1:30 p.m. in the Board Room of Town Hall, 170 MacGregor Avenue, Estes Park on November 20, 2007 to approve or deny the development plan for the Wapiti Crossing Condominiums. The development plans, CDOW letter, along with the Planning Departments report and recommended approval can be seen on the town’s website www.estesnet.com/comdev/CurrentRequest s.aspx. We ask you to please help us, the neighbors of the property to urge the members of the Estes Valley Planning Commission to deny this proposed development by writing, emailing, or calling the commissioners with your support.

On Monday, November 12, 2007 a special ribbon cutting ceremony was held at Estes Park Medical Center to dedicate the brand new G.E. Johnson Construction Company New Life Center. The ceremony was opened by Rob Gordon, President of the Estes Park Medical Foundation Board who welcomed the crowd and thanked G.E. Johnson Construction Company for their gift of a major donation to the Foundation capital campaign that made this project possible. So far, fifteen babies have been born at the New Life Center and two were in attendance at the ceremony. Dr. John Cooper, Park Hospital District Board President, thanked everyone involved in the project, in particular G.E. Johnson and Jim Johnson for this New Life Center which gives EPMC a major jump in their ability to provide services for families in the Estes Valley. Robb Austin, new CEO of EPMC echoed Dr. Cooper’s thoughts

originating the popular nick name, southpaw. There is evidence from ancient drawings and paintings that many early day leaders, warriors, kings, dictators, emperors, as well as modern time rulers and politicians were and are left-handed. All three U. S. Presidential candidates in 1992, Bush, Sr., Clinton, and Perot had the left hand affliction. Years ago, I hired a left handed contractor for a construction project. When he brought in his team of five additional workmen and they set about making things happen, I was astounded to see everyone of the six of them awkwardly hammering-you guessed it, with their left arm. And, yes, even with such handicaps, they completed a very satisfactory job on budget and on time. MORE? Those who study such things indicate that left handedness may be more a matter of left-sidedness-left footed, dominant left eye, etc. There may also be some correlation with left and right side brain usage, and certain ways of behaving, patterns of thinking and personality traits. We won’t use any negatives, but such words as independent, stubborn, impulsive and supersensitive have found their way into the literature. There is also some corroboration of “handedness” translated into wings-get it? Right wing. Left wing. Thinking as a realist or an idealist...Doesn’t make any sense, or does it? Left-handed males outnumber their female counterparts. And if both father and mother are left-handed, the odds of left-handed children increase to 50%, whereas two righthanded parents produce only 2% lefties. Twins? One, but not both, is highly likely to be a southpaw. And somehow, left handedness seems to run more heavily in some nationalities and in some families. One Scottish Clan, the Kerr’s, produce a highly disproportionate number of both male and female lefties. Not only are there stores that specialize in items for lefties, but there is an association, Lefthanders International headquartered in Topeka, KS. Perhaps we have revealed more than you really needed to know on this subject. Whether you are a right or left hander, we hope you found it interesting. -oOo“My wife and I had an exchange of words. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to use mine.” -oOoCONSUMER PROTECTION CORNERNo doubt about it, cooler weather brings out our jackets and coats. At many public places, we hang these wraps on unattended hooks and racks, away from our watchful eyes. To lighten our pockets or purses, there may be a temptation to leave such important items as car and house keys, cell phones, cameras, etc., in coat pockets, but we recommend against doing so. Cases of mistaken identity, pocket pilfering, and outright theft are numerous, and might result in a long, cold walk home-and even a police report, getting both your name and age in the paper. May we also suggest that putting your name in coats and hats isn’t a bad idea. No doubt you did that long ago. But that was your old coat. How about the new one? STRAIGHT AHEAD! [email protected].

T HE

Of all people we, the fortunate few who live in this Magic Kingdom, should be most grateful at Thanksgiving time. Have a happy, safe and thankful THANKSGIVING! -oOoRIGHT OR LEFT HANDED, MORE THAN YOU NEED TO KNOW-Chances are you are not left-handed, but one in ten people born in the U.S. are lefties, so you may have one or more in your family. The reasons aren’t obvious, but under certain circumstances, their percentage goes up dramatically. A much higher percentage of entertainers and creative artists are addicted to their left hand, as are many outstanding athletes -- particularly tennis players, baseball pitchers, football quarterbacks, and golfers. These, and many more facts were uncovered in a book, “The Natural Superiority of The Left-Hander,” by author/cartoonist James T. de Kay, (can you believe there is such a name?) which I bought recently for a left-handed friend. The book is dedicated to the brave and unique little town of Left Hand, W. Virginia, population 451, which claims that every one living here is a left hander. (Wanna buy a bridge in Brooklyn?) Not everyone knows we have our own lefthanded town, Niwot, CO, an affluent and growing community between Boulder and Longmont. Niwot, I’m told, means left hand, and was named for a prominent left handed Indian Chief whose tribe inhabited that beautiful area long ago. Locals also know of Left Hand Canyon north of Boulder, and Left Hand Creek which drains the canyon and meanders, swiftly at times, by Haystack Mountain, and eastward to water thirsty crops. DISCRIMINATION? In times of our cave man ancestors, right or left handedness made little difference. One could chop with a stone ax or heave a rock or spear from either side, and nobody noticed or cared. Bows and arrows were equally one-sided, as were swords and shields. The rub came when knights needed armor, and weapons for jousting. Armor smiths apparently built their stuff only for righthanded knights, putting lefties at a great disadvantage. And that may have been only the beginning of discrimination. Greatly outnumbered lefties have had to endure many indignities, from school desks to dinner table seating to golf clubs, but they adapted and seemed to thrive, nonetheless. They may be an advantage at drive-in windows and toll gates, but where else? Studies of the animal and plant kingdoms lead scientists to believe that right-sidedness, if not right-handedness prevails, particularly in primates. And it is even apparent in plant life. Believe it or not, many more climbing vines twist to the right (counterclockwise) than to the left, and the same phenomenon has been observed in the rotation patterns of galaxies in the universe, depending, perhaps, on your view point, if not your point of view. SPORTING BLOOD-Why are lefties (physical, not political) often called “southpaws?” When a new baseball field was built in Chicago in 1890, it was oriented with home plate on the west, to reduce sun glare for the batters. A left handed pitcher, facing west, threw with his arm on the south side,

Cooking on High Esther Cenac Turkey day will be here before you know it. I don’t know what y’all have on the big “T” day as trimmings, but sweet potatoes are a must in our home. However, Mike, our son-in-law, was raised with mashed potatoes so Marie has to bring that along with our traditional baked macaroni. I am in charge of most of the meal and that revolves around the turkey which Caliste cooks on the Weber grill. He has done the turkey for so many years that I don’t think I could even bake one in the oven. He has been out there in rain, sleet, snow and sunny days with the big bird. One year we had to cook it in the garage because it was so cold he couldn’t keep the Weber’s temperature hot enough. The garage smelled WONDERFUL for a month. This year, Caliste and I have a reprieve as we will celebrate Thanksgiving with two of our children and their families in Texas. I know I will be helping Theresa in the kitchen but it will be one of the few times we have not had Thanksgiving here in our home with various family and friends. I plan on doing the sweet potatoes though and have a recipe to share with her and y’all. I fixed them the other night for a dine-in group and they were a big success.

Drunken Sweet Potatoes 3 lbs. sweet potatoes (I always use what we call yams) 1 1/4 stick butter or margarine divided 1/3 cup maple syrup 2 eggs ½ of a 14 oz. can of evaporated milk (not condensed) or a little more depending on dryness of potatoes 3-4 Tbs. of bourbon or to taste 1 tsp. cinnamon

½ tsp. allspice ½ tsp. ground cloves ½ tsp. mace ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg ½ cup brown sugar 1-cup chopped walnuts Boil potatoes until tender. Cool to handle and peel. Mash with one stick of butter until lumpy. (Now you can leave them like this and continue with the rest of directions, just mixing and tossing in the rest of the ingredients, or do as I did). With a hand mixer, cream potatoes along with the syrup, milk, bourbon and spices. Place in a large oven proof buttered bowl, sprinkle the brown sugar over top along with the remaining butter and chopped nuts. Bake at 350 for about thirty minutes until bubbly on top and warmed through. I left them covered at room temperature after I prepared them for baking. If you refrigerated them, it will take a bit longer in the oven. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. Don’t just live life, love it. Love living here in our beautiful paradise or Estes Park, in our wonderful state of Colorado that is part of our beloved United States of America. May God bless all of you and our country. Please email me with any questions or your recipes at [email protected]. Bon Appétit.

Sarah Holdt My name is Sarah Jean. Like many people, my sisters called me Sarah Jane. That morphed into Daisy Jane. One name is easier than two so they dropped one, and now to my sisters I’m either Daisy or Jane. Mark calls me Love. To my church young adult group I was Donut Hole (a play on my surname, Donohoe). In high school the janitor at the candy store where I worked called me Hoe (the last syllable of my last name—it didn’t mean then what it means now). As a camp counselor my nametag read Chipper. Over the years I’ve answered to many different titles, yet my name is Sarah Jean. My youngest sister is Pooh, my niece is Roo, and Uncle Pat is Puncle At. Most of us have had at least one nickname at some point in our lives, and some may still answer to something other than the name on our birth certificate. An alternate ID may not please the person to whom it adheres, but for the most part, a nickname is a term of endearment, or at least not an intentional insult. My mother-inlaw’s reminder that we only tease those we love applies to nicknames as well—generally, we only assign them to those for whom we feel affection. With an unofficial poll I determined that nicknames were more common 60 years ago than they are today, perhaps because kids wore school uniforms, therefore needing nicknames to identify personalities. Some older folks will say everyone in their small town had an alias; today nicknames are still used most often in rural communities. Usually a pet name is determined in youth and is often shed by adulthood, but not always. There are the traditional names describing a person’s appearance like Red, Shorty and Chubby, but many of the descriptive nicknames are unique, like Bookie, which is what Rhonda’s mom was called because she had a gap between her front teeth so big “you could put a book through it,” and Leslie’s mom Scrubby, named so because she was tall like a scrub pine in the Black Hills. Some nicknames are derivatives of titles which tots are unable to pronounce correctly: Paula becomes Bobo, Mimi stands for Miriam, Kris translates into Sissy, plus a

Estes Park NEWS, The Independent and Locally Owned Source for Community Happenings slew of names are used to replace the standard Grandma and Grandpa. Still more IDs get assigned according to hometown: Taffy for the girl from Taft, California and Loomis tagging the fraternity brother from Loomis, Nebraska, for example. Loomis called his parents Yellalot (Elliott) and Delirious (Delores). Joan’s friends called their parents The Ps. My siblings and I call my bread-making dad either Day Old, or Par—he’s a Pa with a golf addiction. Most nicknames are fun but my favorites are those that are unusual and unexplainable, like the couple in town who call each other Bubby, a man who calls his ex-wife BOB, a local business owner whose friends called him Scooter Pie, Pocahontas, Iowa classmates who answered to Catfish and Big Goon, and the girl from my dad’s hometown who went by Stink. “I can’t tell you how that came to be,” my dad said. “Nicknames are a characteristic of small towns, and they just happen.” Dungeon, as my dad was called, said “Kids started nicknaming their friends when they were 10 or 12, and once you got a nickname, it stuck for…oh…forever.” Stink? Poor Dolores. A nickname cannot be self-assigned because it usually unfolds from within a relationship. “Hi. My name is Tom but call me Doggie,” just doesn’t work. My sister, Alice, or Pal, is one of those people who comes up with and regularly uses good nicknames. She calls her middle child Dribbly, or Dribs, because he drooled a lot as an infant. He is 11 now and still happily answers to the label. He also answers to Frank, George, Walter, Orville, and all the other names his mother drums up. His name is Greg. “I wrack my brain to come up with different names all the time,” Alice said. Why does she create alternate monikers? “Using a nickname creates my own special connection with someone,” she said. So what does she call her eight-year-old daughter? The typical foodie names people call sweet young ones like Pumpkin, Cupcake, or Hon? No, she calls Ellen, Elbow. She tried Elbow Grease one time but it didn’t go over very well. Her husband? She calls him Lomyl, the acronym for Love Of My Life. A nickname is a bond between lovers, a shared joke between friends, a term of endearment amongst family, and sometimes a secret code. If you have a nickname, no matter what it is, consider it a title of distinction. Even Stink. You may let The Thunker know what you think at [email protected].

Brad And Kathy Fitch To Present CD Release Concert Brad and Kathy Fitch invite you to come sing along to your favorite John Denver songs at a free concert to celebrate the release of their new CD, "John's Reminder." The concert will be performed at the Hempel Family Program Building at the Estes Park Center/YMCA of the Rockies on Saturday, Nov. 24 at 7:00 p.m. The new album features the music of John Denver as well as never-beforerecorded original songs by the Fitches. "We have been asked for years to record some of John Denver's most loved and popular songs," Brad said. "This album is a compilation of some of his biggest hits, some of our favorites and some of our own songs that have been inspired by John's thoughtfulness, musical talent and caring spirit. We hope this album will keep the man, his message and his music alive." Brad and Kathy have performed John Denver tribute concerts to sold-out venues in Arizona and Colorado. Along with their TropiCowboy Band, they have played these

concerts to raise money for the Rocky Mountain Nature Association, the University of Arizona's cancer research program and the Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park. The Fitches often include Denver's music in their campfire singalongs, performed in Bond Park each summer, as well as at their other concerts. "John's Reminder" was recorded at Summertown Studios in Fort Collins and was engineered and co-produced by Bob Buford. The CD release concert will feature live performances of the songs on the new album, which will be available for purchase at the event (cash or check only).

Getting to Know a

Good Samaritan

The Art Of Wildlife Tracking There are three ways to see wildlife: start hiking and hope that you become lucky, try to follow the tracks that you found during your hike or try to understand the story behind the tracks. Tracking doesn't necessarily mean seeing physical tracks. It is also an awareness that wildlife exists without ever having seen any tracks. By understanding tracking concepts, you will become more aware of surrounding wildlife, even if you can't identify the tracks. Leaving In The Opposite Direction: Most of us see wildlife from the opposite perspective. They are either running or flying in the opposite direction of where we are standing. Don't Expect You To Be Daniel Boone: Tracking is a difficult skill to acquire. It has to be mastered, practiced and, even when you think that you're making some progress, you start doubting your ability. The more you know about wildlife, the better chance you will have in seeing and photographing wildlife. We don't expect you ever to become

a Daniel Boone; but, with some basic knowledge of tracking, you will become a better wildlife tracker. Wildlife tracking is referred to as tracks in snow, mud and sand. These are the easiest to see, even if you can't recognize what type of wildlife made them. In any situation, don't think that you have to know the answer to all of the questions below. As long as you ask yourself some questions, the process will be rewarded. The following are the six elements of tracking. The Six Elements Of Tracking: 1. What Wildlife Can I See? This is the most important element. If you don't know what wildlife you could see during your hike, then you will never be able to ask questions. Study a Peterson Guide, a Sibley Guide, a park brochure, the Internet or any other resource that will help you know what wildlife you could see in your area. For instance, if an animal goes into hibernation in November, there is no chance that you are going to see that particular animal in January. By knowing what wildlife you can see and what wildlife you can not see allows you to make better decisions on how to discover wildlife. If you know that a Red-Tailed Hawk has juveniles to feed during this time of year, position yourself near

Friday, November 16, 2007 an area that there is an opportunity to see a Red-Tailed Hawk catching food. Tracking in this situation is the knowledge that you have to put yourself in the best situation to see wildlife. 2. Who Made The Tracks? What type of animal made these tracks? There are numerous pocket guides available for resources in identifying tracks. 3. What Was The Animal Doing When The Tracks Were Made? Was the animal chasing another animal or hunting another animal? Was the animal walking or looking for a place to sleep? 4. When Were The Tracks Made? By identifying when the tracks were made, maybe you can come back tomorrow at the time you think the animal comes by. If you are hiking at 10:00 a.m. after a snow storm that ended in the early morning and you can see well-defined tracks, you know that the animal had to come by between early morning and 10:00 a.m. If the animal came by earlier in the morning, the snow still falling would have covered up the tracks. So, you might decide to come by at dawn the next day and wait. 5. Where Did The Animal Go From Here? Is it just passing through? Did it go to sleep near by? Sometimes, by following deer tracks for a short distance, you will find where the animal slept during the night. 6. Why Did The Animal Go Through Here? Why does the animal move at a specific time of day? Is this a pattern for this animal? Will it come by tomorrow and use this same path? Deer have roads and highways through the woods that they constantly use. A Simple Example: You decide to take a walk on a beach that you never have been on before. It is 9:00 in the morning. During the hour and a half walk down to the end of the beach, you were disappointed since you didn't see too many birds. You noticed that the tide was coming in by the texture of the sand, since the top of the highest water mark was dry sand. Had the top of the water mark been wet, you would have known that the tide was going out. About 1 mile into the walk, you noticed that there's a small sand bar off the beach that was being covered by the incoming tide. If you had arrived 15 minutes later, you probably wouldn't have seen the sand bar as it would be completely under water. Then, you noticed numerous shore bird tracks on the sand bar. The most important element of tracking in this example is question number four. The answer to the question of "When were the tracks made?" is rather simple. They were made after the last high tide. You know that tide will be approximately one hour later tomorrow. So, if you start your walk at about 7:00 (which is three hours before today - two hours earlier and one hour for the tide change), there is an excellent chance that you will have a wildlife experience.

Your Dental Health Dr. Daniel Rauk D.D.S.

Dental X-Rays And Digital Technology Dental radiographs, or x-rays, are an important part of a thorough dental examination. A full set of x-rays, including a panoramic x-ray that circles the head, are usually needed for patients who are new to a dental practice. Two to four follow-up xrays called “bitewings” are then taken every 12-18 months, depending on each individual patient’s needs. The most common questions patients have concerning dental x-rays deal with (1) Why are they needed? (2) What is the amount of radiation exposure? (3) Are xrays safe during pregnancy? and (4) What are the benefits of the newer digital x-ray technology? Dental x-rays are important for many reasons. They can expose hidden dental decay; reveal a dental abscess, cyst or tumor; show impacted teeth; and also help determine the condition of fillings, crowns, bridges and past root canal treatment. Dental x-rays will reveal bone loss from periodontal (gum) disease, locate tarter buildup, find foreign bodies within the gum or bone and see if there is enough bone for the placement of dental implants. These are only some of the reasons dentists rely on dental x-rays. Some people are concerned about their exposure to dental x-rays. This is very

Friday, November 16, 2007 understandable in light of the relatively higher radiation needed for some medical x-rays. Dentists try to minimize the amount of radiation any patient receives at the dental office. That is why we used high speed film in the past, and now digital x-rays sensors use even less radiation. To give an idea of how much less x-ray dosage is needed for dental x-rays than for medical x-rays, dental x-rays requires 56,000 times less radiation than an upper GI medical series of x-rays, 800 times less radiation than a chest x-ray, and 40 times less than the typical background radiation we each receive every day from the sun and other sources. Dental x-rays are safe and effective even during pregnancy, although we choose to only take x-rays for emergency dental needs during pregnancy. One new dental technology involving dental x-rays is digital x-ray sensors. They offer the advantage of further reduction in radiation needed over using film, no need for using and disposing of processing chemicals, and production of an instantaneous image. These instantaneous digitized images can be magnified and adjusted for contrast which helps in diagnosing dental pathology. The computer screen image is very helpful in allowing patients to see and then discuss the problems and the recommended restoration procedures with their dentist. Because it helps the patients to clearly understand their dental health issues, the patient and dentist can work together to determine the best treatment options. As discussed here, dental x-rays are an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of dental problems. They do not; however replace the need for a visual examination of the head, neck, TMJ, and oral cavity. It is only with a combination of both the x-ray and visual examination that dentists can best treat their patients.

Preserving Health Independence And Loving Care Estes Park Home Care Celebrates National Home Care & Hospice Month By: Kerrie Hill More than 7.6 million Americans receive home-delivered health care daily from nearly 1 million caregivers throughout the United States. Each November, the professionals at Estes Park Home Care, a department of Estes Park Medical Center, who are privileged to provide inhome care for the sick, elderly and homebound in our community, celebrate National Home Care and Hospice Month. For more than a century, American families have cared for their sick and disabled loved ones in their homes, and they have increasingly turned to home care professionals for help. Throughout the years, procedures for home care have changed, but the essence of home care-the warm, personalized care-remains the same. Estes Park Home Care and Hospice is there for your mother, father, sister, brother and neighbor who are struggling with a disability, dealing with a chronic or terminal illness or recovering from a recent hospital stay. As the old adage states there is truly “no place like home.” Home Care and Hospice provides all the pieces of hospital care with the exception of surgery. Estes Park Home Care and Hospice is a “hospital without walls.” Residents in the Estes Park area, receive compassionate care in everything from intravenous med-

the very best it can be. The focus of the hospice team, the patient and the family turns to quality of life. Patient comfort, choice and control become “all important.” More than just providing excellent care where and when patients need and want it, home care and hospice save the United States and commercial health insurers billions of health care dollars each year. There is no more cost-effective provider of health care in our country. As we move towards the Thanksgiving season and recall the many gifts and blessings, Estes Park Medical Center employees and our community remember the home care and hospice professionals who make a difference every day in the lives of our seniors, the disabled, and the terminally ill. Home Care and hospice professionals make it possible to be where the healing begins. Estes Park Home Care and Hospice professionals, guided by Dr. Scott Woodard, Medical Director, make a remarkable and compassionate difference in the lives of the patients and families they serve.

These home care and hospice nurses and other home care professionals work diligently to keep our community members in there home with family and loved ones. Estes Park Home Care and Hospice offers a wealth of nursing, therapy, counseling, dietary, and personal care and private nursing services. Not only does November mark the celebration of the service of home care but it also marks awareness of hospice services that allow terminally ill patients and their families to experience the end of life together in the comfort and security of home or a “home-like setting.” Hospice care from EPMC’s team of professionals provides physical, psychosocial, and spiritual support to the terminally ill and support for the patient’s family. Hospice does not mean giving up hope. Hope can change over the course of a disease. The hope is always for a cure. If over time, a cure cannot be achieved, then hope changes to letting the time that remains be

With songs like “Oh What a Beautiful Mornin,’” “Surrey With the Fringe On Top,” “I Can’t Say No,” and the title song, “Oklahoma,” how could this not be a family favorite production. Set in Oklahoma Territory, outside the town of Claremore at the turn of the century in Indian Territory, a young ranch hand, Curly McLain is infatuated with farm girl Laurey Williams.

Eventually, Curly and Jud duel it out, with Jud ending up falling on his

own knife and dying. In the end, Curly and Laurey are married. Likewise, Will and Ado Annie tie the knot, and all is well.

Cordova, Division of Resource Stewardship, RMNP, will discuss the Climate Friendly Park-Action Plan on Saturday, November 17, from 2:30-3:30 p.m. in the Hondius Room of the Estes Park Public Library. Cordova explains that "In March 2007, Rocky Mountain National Park became a participant in the National Park Service's Climate Friendly Parks Program. Rocky Mountain National Park belongs to a network of parks that are putting climate friendly behavior at the forefront of park planning and operations in national parks. Reducing sources of greenhouse gases within the park, outreaching to interested parties and developing strategies to adapt to climate change are the main goals of the Climate Friendly ParkAction Plan." After a power point presentation, Cordova will lead a discussion and respond to questions from the audience. Following Cordova’s program, Sustainable Mountain Living will have a regular meeting at which the group’s ongoing projects and plans will be discussed. Anyone who is interested is invited to join us. Sustainable Mountain Living is a group of concerned residents committed to a sustainable future for the greater Estes Park/Allenspark community.

Library Posters Promote Reading In libraries across America, one sees celebrity READ posters produced by the American Library Association featuring sports stars, political figures, writers, and movie stars each holding a favorite book. The first poster featured popular actor/comedian Bill Cosby in 1985. Orlando Bloom, Denzel Washington, Serena Williams, Shaquille O’Neal, Weird Al Yankovic, Bill Gates, Stephen Hawking and many other celebrities have appeared on the prestigious posters. The Estes Park Public Library has gone a step further and is recognizing local children in a series of READ posters in celebration of National Children’s Book Week November 12-18. The Estes Park Woman’s Club sponsored the library’s read posters by donating the money to purchase the two READ CD’s published by ALA Graphics. The CDs contains fun templates, creative type styles, graphic elements and all the tools to create the custom posters. Estes Park Public Library’s youth services staff presented an after school program in October and children in kindergarten through fifth grades were asked to bring a favorite book and “star” in their own READ poster. Kerry Aiken, youth services supervisor said, “It was lots of fun seeing what book the children had chosen as

Friday, November 16, 2007 a favorite.” Youth services assistant Melanie Kozlowski captured the moment with the library’s digital camera. Once the photo was taken, she worked on the computer to isolate the photo, choose the background, add the type, and turn it into a poster size print. “Melanie has such a great eye for design. It’s wonderful to have such an artistic person on our staff,” said Aiken. During Children’s Book Week (November 12-18) all twenty-one posters will be on display at the public library and

Park Elementary School. The public library thanks the Estes Park Woman's Club for helping promote greater awareness of the library and involving our community's children as spokespersons on the custom READ posters.

New Book Puts “Minstrel Man” Back In Spotlight This weekend, I’ll be among the cast taking to the stage in the musical Oklahloma! Once again, capacity crowds are showing their support and enthusiasm for the performing arts in Estes Park. We have a rich legacy of entertainment. The Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies turns 50 next year. Delve into the library’s local history archives, and you’ll discover one of its founders is Ned Linegar. Ned is now at work compiling a written history of this vibrant organization. The library’s archives are an amazing treasure for researchers like Ned and for trivia buffs like me. There’s the rich history of the Dark Horse Theater that began to flourish in the late 1950s. One of the names you’ll see in the fine print is Judd Hirsch, star of Taxi and Ordinary People, who made his stage debut in Estes Park working with local artist Greig Steiner. Another legend of the local entertainment scene is the subject of a new book at the library. The name “Al Fike” stirs up many memories and stories of a versatile performer who achieved national fame and played some of his finest moments in Estes Park. A tribute to his life and spirit is now contained in Al Fike: The Modern Minstrel Man by Kay Hoflander. Fike began his working life as a Missouri schoolteacher, but his entertainment career was launched in 1948 when TV personality Faye Emerson discovered

Friday, November 16, 2007 him playing piano at the Glory Hole Bar in Central City. She became an instant fan. In the 1950s, he formed a high-energy, comedy-infused quartet called the Taylor Four, a sensation that packed audiences into Denver’s Taylor Supper Club for a decade. “They were the hottest act between Chicago and Las Vegas,” said Clyde Rogers, one of the many musicians who performed with them. In later years, Fike’s act was a vaudeville showcase, as he took stage in his striped jacket and straw hat, performing songs, telling jokes, doing impressions of Jimmy Durante, and saying farewell with his version of “What a Wonderful World.” Fike’s local connections were many. As far back as 1948, he was performing with Chuck Timm at the Harmony when it was a guest ranch. He was a favorite at the Club Jubilee above the old Rexall drugstore, and he was on stage at the Gaslight Pub the night the Big Thompson flooded in 1976. One of the names mentioned in the book is none other than jazz pianist Ray Young, one of the most popular musicians here in town. Not only had Ray performed with Fike, he taught piano to Larry Wegner, one of Fike’s longtime sidekicks. Ray remembers Fike as a consummate “minstrel man” who could mesmerize audiences. He notes that Fike was a regular at the Lane Guest Ranch in the 1980s. And he adds that Dick Kroeckel, who frequently performed with Fike, was one of the finest ragtime piano players ever. Al Fike, the Missouri schoolteacher who made it big in the club circuit and headlined in New York, Chicago, Miami, Las Vegas, who appeared on national television during the Taylor Four heyday, performed what would be his final stage show on July 4, 1996. He died on August 26 that year at age 84. Al Fike: The Modern Minstrel Man, along with the tremendous resources in the library’s local history archives, helps shine a spotlight on the rich history of entertainment in Estes Park.

Shirlee Roth Artwork On Exhibit At EPMC The Estes Park Medical Center and Project Art is proud to present renown local artist Shirlee Roth in an exhibit of her paintings on display at the Mezzanine Gallery from now through December 21. Shirlee Ann Roth, wife of Rex Roth and mother of Jim, Bob and Jeff Roth, was a well-known local artist in the 1980s. She studied art at the Chicago Art Institute, Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois and also under artist Barbara Bond in Arizona. In 1960, Rex and Shirlee founded Rockford Christian School in Rockford, Illinois. The school now has nearly 1,200 students and one of Shirlee’s paintings hangs in the entrance. In 1967, Rex and Shirlee moved to Estes Park to direct Covenant Heights Bible Camp and Shirlee owned the Coachlight Gift Store on the corner of Moraine and Elkhorn. In 1971, the Roth’s bought Wild Basin Lodge and Shirlee was able to move her gift store there and also open a gallery. Shirlee has been a faithful pastor’s wife to Rex as he has served Allenspark Community Church for the last 35 years. Shirlee painted over 50 paintings and sold all but one that she wanted to keep. She said that particular painting was like giving birth to a baby and she could not sell it. This display includes that painting,

as well as fine art prints of her landscape paintings. Some of Shirlee’s paintings took weeks to complete. She loved painting mountains, trees, cabins and skies. Her skies are one of the most unique aspects of her work and often set the tone of the painting. She painted almost entirely with knives and tiny spatulas and did not name any of her paintings. In the later 1990s, Shirlee was no longer able to paint and was soon diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. She has been a resident at the Prospect Park Living Center for over six years. She no longer remembers that she was an artist, nor does she recognize her family, but she still shows a kind and loving spirit that has characterized her all of her life.

Along Moraine By: John Meissner week 8 Locus: Estes Park Trail, (former) 275 Moraine, 1957 “The Estes Park Trail extends greetings to the Estes Park Alakasai [sic] a new six column folio, published in the office of the Loveland Herald and devoted to Estes Park news” ---20 June 1914 (John Y. Munson’s) Estes Park Trail The Estes Park Trail (figure 8) is not a business at risk, nor is its home a building at risk. Newspapers chronicle their every movement, and the Trail is an easy one to follow, occupying three different rental properties on the south side of east Elkhorn between its start in 1921 and its move to the original Francis building (long-timers may remember it as the former Gambles) on the same side of west Elkhorn in 1944, before finally constructing a dedicated plant on Moraine in the fall of 1957. The original Estes Park Trail, related only by name, was a weekly Berthoud publication distributed through William T. Parke’s store in the summers of 1912, 1913, and 1914. This was exLarimer County Commissioner (and then-current Estes Park Land Company co-investor and part-time resident) John Yale Munson’s wellwritten hobby horse. Today, it is extremely valuable as a historical reference (as is his Berthoud Bulletin during those years Estes didn’t have a newspaper) but not particularly valuable to possess, as complete or near-complete sets are held in at least three different Estes locations, and individual copies are distributed throughout various Colorado libraries and institutions. Estes Park’s first newspaper was the Mountaineer, edited by Loveland journalist J. Gordon Smith in the summer of 1908 on a portable press set up in town cobbler/forest ranger Joe Ryan’s building (again on the south side of east Elkhorn). The name is more familiar today as one later appropriated (and still used) by Estes Park’s high school paper. When the commercial Mountaineer first started, there was some talk of erecting a permanent home, but presumably the paper was not financially successful, as the editor and his equipment

What Mr. Smith left behind indicates that thirteen Thursday issues were originally published, beginning on 4 June 1908 and ending 27 August 1908. July issues of the Mountaineer exist, but the local library and museum only hold incomplete (June and August) runs. The Estes Park Bank had an original Mountaineer, courtesy of early Moraine resident Sydney Sherman, in its possession as late as 1960 (and probably later, according to eyewitness accounts), but the bank’s replacement staff can’t be troubled to find it, or any of the other irreplaceable items in the missing Sherman family reliquary. The reason this indifference is such a waste is that every issue of the Mountaineer adds, on average, three otherwise unknowable facts about Estes’ early development. You can talk all you want about filling gaps in Estes Park history using surrounding newspapers, but that’s somewhat equivalent to reconstructing a former lodge’s trout with almonds recipe based on uncovering diners’ comment cards. Conservatively, issues of the Mountaineer would bring around $150 each on ebay. While history’s venal aspects are not the focus of this road show, I recognize that certain ears connected to an attic full of “Yeah, I’ve got some” only perk up around significant tax deductions, plus I want whoever stole the Sherman collection to have a rough idea of how incensed to act when the pawn shop offers you $5.

The Grail for paper collectors and historians, though, is the Estes Park Alikasai, published in Loveland in 1914 and 1915. Perhaps. The Alikasai could just as well be called the HelloGoodbye (subdeck “Your Source for Fermat’s Missing Proof and the Giant Squid”), given that no regular issues have been captured or photographed intact. Did it even exist? It definitely existed on paper, attached to a young editor named Earl E. Hanway from Sterling, and officially welcomed to the fold by Munson in June 1914. After a “prosperous and popular reception”, it was taken over by Mark Ellison and Claude Smith in 1915. Not enough scraps remain to answer anything more, except indirectly. What did the word “alikasai” even mean? Was it a native American term? A portmanteau? A magician’s command to disappear? The Alikasai listed itself as a “semi-weekly” in the 1915 Colorado State Business Directory (the only year it appears – This information would have been submitted in 1914), while Munson’s announcement suggests it would be published weekly during June 1914 and semiweekly in July and August. “Semi-weekly” is ambiguous (twice a week or once every two weeks?), but almost certainly means twice a week here, because July and August in Estes have always generated more black ink. The following year’s mission statement is more straightforward: “The Estes Park Alikasai will be printed again, during the tourist season of 1915, semi-weekly, beginning Tuesday, June 1

Friday, November 16, 2007 and continued for 25 consecutive issues”. But was it? Conceivably, everything going according to plan, at least 40 to 45 issues of the Alikasai were printed over two years (or more), people subscribed, yet none were saved? If the sole “promo” copy in the Estes Park Museum and the occasional echoes in the Loveland Daily Herald are any indication, the Alikasai was hands-down Estes’ premier newspaper. Every article appearing in the 23 April 1915 “Vacation Edition” alone, for example, contains more Estes history than a year’s subscription to anything else. Unfortunately, this obvious superiority may have been what prompted Munson to close his Estes bureau early, and stick closer to home. As a result, Estes history between 1915 and 1919 suffers twice, enduring five years of apparent silence. Can you imagine? MCMXV, the year a new post office, three new downtown hotels (The Prospect, The Brown Tea Pot, The real Lewiston), a new school building foundation, and, oh, a little thing called the Rocky Mountain National Park joined Estes, and Estes managed to record essentially NOTHING and save essentially NOTHING. Even Loveland is not above censure, since only a city-wide fuel shortage or g.i. outbreak or sale on live birds/dead fish could explain why so little of its own newsprint remains from this critical time. Pristine copies of the 5¢ summer Alikasai would be worth $100 per, but the bounty could just as well be $1000, because they simply never show up. For completeness, and just to prove how wonderful life is, what Estes residents managed to save in bunches was the disappointing Trail Talk, published by Longmont High School teacher Archibald Taylor in the summer of 1920. This weakly (sorry, weekly) exercise in typesetting is slightly more fun to read than the repair manual for a 1973 Vega, although Mr. Taylor may have the last laugh, because the cascading columns of unfamiliar names gracing every issue, once digitized, will prove invaluable to descendants trying to track down which secretary their great-grandfather vacationed with.

Prolific Estes Park Writer Still Creating New Work At Age 78 By: Ronald L. Froehlich Estes Park novelist and poet Margaret Guthrie has been writing articles, short stories, books and poems since she was a little girl growing up in the 1930s on a farm just outside the small Quaker town of New Providence, Iowa. Times have changed, she notes, but the strong desire to put thoughts and feelings down on paper that started way back then hasn’t diminished. And to her credit, she has never let rejection of her work, doubt or the occasional success affect her love for the art of writing. “There’s something that compels me to write about what’s inside me,” she says with sincere frankness. At age 78, she is the author of two published novels, several short stories and hundreds of poems, including collections that are in print. Some of these are available at the Estes Park Library and Macdonald Book Shop. Guthrie continues to write almost daily and she cites as inspiration the recent award of a Nobel Prize in literature to 87-year-old British Author Doris Lessing. While she’s been writing since childhood, her first serious attempt at putting together a novel didn’t come until the mid-1970s, which was after she’d had two children and worked for years outside the home to help the family while her husband, George, studied to earn a PhD in religion and philosophy. Her first novel was about an Alzheimer patient. “When I showed it to friends and other writers that I respect, it was pretty much pronounced as ‘too dark’ and, as I look back, I have to agree with that criticism,” she said with a shy smile. A second unpublished novel

Religion and Philosophy Group On Wednesday, November 21, at 9:30 am in the Senior Center of Estes Park, Professor Keith Stephenson will facilitate a discussion of two open letters undersigned respectively by (1) 38 Muslim clerics and scholars and (2) 138 Muslim clerics and scholars. The first letter, an Open Letter to the Pope, was an October 13th, 2006 response to some of Pope Benedict 16th's remarks about Islam in his September 13th, 2006 Regensburg address. The second open letter, presented at a conference in 2007, though addressed to specific leaders, is meant for all Christians. While the first letter addresses some misconceptions about Islam, the purpose of the second letter is to underline commonalities between Islam and Christianity as regards the two fundamental religious norms. Reportage and discussion in the mass media have said much about Islam which is both misleading and downright erroneous. Attention to these two letters can not only enlighten Christians and Muslims about the root similarity of Islam and Christianity but engender rapprochement between the two faiths (members of which constitute more than half the

Margaret Guthrie is a member of an Estes Park poetry group, Trail Ridge Writers, that meets monthly to critique each others poetry. “We’re inviting everyone to the Estes Park Art Center Sunday, Nov. 18 from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. for a poetry reading, with musical accompaniment.

We hope everyone will come.” was about how mental hospitals back in in the 1970s, as part of an effort to mainstream hospitalized patients into the communities, were putting them out the door with prescriptions for drugs, appointments to visit out-patient clinics, and little else, and the effect this process had on the patients and the hospital staffs. These early books, though never published, provided Guthrie with the valuable experience and self-discipline required to begin a serious career. She went on to focus on learning more about the craft, attending workshops, conferences and taking advanced-level writing classes. “I learned a lot and I’m still learning,” she said.

world's population). The letter to the Pope is available at http://ammanmessage.com (four pages) and the general letter is at www.acommonword.com (16 pages). Discussion participants are expected to bring their own copies to the meeting. Dr. Stephenson has graduate degrees from Yale and Duke. He taught religion at Nebraska Universities for 26 years and taught New Testament studies at a seminary of the Reformed Church of Indonesia for 10 years. For seven years he served as dean of the Theological Education Institute of the Rocky Mountain Region of Disciples of Christ and the United Church of Christ. His publications are mostly in the area of religion and culture (e.g. community development, prison reform, health care and modernization). This discussion is offered under the auspices of the free and informal Religion and Philosophy Group, a part of the Senior Center, meeting monthly on the third Wednesday. People of all ages and persuasions are welcome to attend and participate. The name notwithstanding, the group often addresses topics other than strictly religious or philosophical and welcomes all types of developed presentations on all kinds of topics! The Senior Center offers an excellent daily lunch at 12 noon. Hope to see you there!

She is working on another novel that builds on her two earlier works, Silent Truth and The Return. Silent Truth is a mystery set in a fictional small Quaker town in Iowa. It explores the impact of the murder of two high school teachers, husband and wife, on the people involved, their friends, neighbors, church members and the murdered couples’ two young daughters. “When I started writing the book my intent was to write a ‘who-done-it’ mystery but the final book was an exploration of how a person can evolve from being an average, small-town kid to becoming a vicious murderer and the reaction of people to the murderer, the crime and how they finally put the matter to rest.”

The frailty of life was also brought home to both her and George in 1976 when they experienced the Big Thompson flood in their summer cabin about three miles from the Olympic Lodge. The lights went out about 6:30 p.m., the radio went off, and peering through the lightening that illuminated the waters, they could see large objects rushing down the river. Then they heard the sounds of propane tanks exploding. “Four of our neighbors who were barely a hundred yards away, a minister and his wife and a young newlywed couple staying with them, were out trying to get their cars to higher ground when they were swept away by flood waters. They were among the 145 people killed in the devastation that summer night,”she related. Some of the feelings Guthrie had that night, and later, affected the direction she took in her second novel, The Return, a book that explores how the death of parents at a young age affects their childrens’ lives as they grow to adulthood and explore different paths to spirituality. The Guthries moved from their summer home in the Big Thompson to their permanent home in Estes Park in 1990 after George’s retirement. George continues his interest in religion and philosophy by writing scholarly papers for the Religion and Philosophy Group that meets the third Wednesday morning of the month at the Estes Park Senior Center. Margaret says the two of them love Estes Park for the mountains, the wonderful amenities including the parks and library and the fact that so many people who live here share their interests in learning, exploring and staying open to new ideas. “I can’t imagine a nicer, more inspiring place for a writer to live and work than right here in this beautiful valley,” she says.

Obituaries Winnie Citta Estes Park resident Wynelle “Winnie” Citta died Friday morning November 9, 2007 at the Medical Center of The Rockies in Loveland. She was 80 years old. Wynelle R. Ratekin was born July 4, 1927 in Omaha, NE. Her parents were Guy and Edna (Bilby) Ratekin. On August 9, 1947 she married Robert W. Citta in Omaha. Winnie was a wife, mother and homemaker while Bob traveled the Midwest as a salesman for Sears. The couple moved to Estes Park in 1974 and owned and operated the Coast to Coast store in Loveland for two years.

They then opened a Coast to Coast in West Park Plaza in Estes Park, moving the store to Stanley Village in 1984. They sold the business in 1992. Winnie and Bob also owned and operated The Saddle and

Surrey Motel from 1975 to 1985. Winnie was a member of the Methodist Church, The Estes Park Quota Club and The Friday Nighters Dance Club. Gourmet cooking was a passion of hers. Winnie is survived by her husband Bob of Estes Park, two sons Will Citta of Estes Park and Robert Citta and his wife Joy of Lincoln, NE, a daughter Guylene and her husband Brian of Estes Park and one grandson. She was preceded in death by her parents and a brother.

Roberta Burger Kice Roberta Burger Kice died on November 5, 2007 in Milwaukie, Oregon at her residence at Willamette View after a long illness. Roberta was born October 8, 1921 in Sherrill, New York. Her parents were Charles C. and Blanche Burger. Her father was a Congregational clergyman. Because of his work, the family moved several times settling in Webster Groves, Missouri where Roberta attended public schools. She had an older sister, Betty, who died at age twelve. Roberta was an ice skater, singer, and pianist as a young woman. Upon graduation from Webster Groves High School, she attended Grinnell College in Iowa where she met her husband to be, Edward E. Kice Jr. They married in September 1941. She and Ed had a long, happy married life together and raised four children. The family moved quite a few times because of Ed’s job as an engineer for Southwestern Bell Telephone Company. They settled in Webster Groves, and later Kirkwood, Missouri from 1960 until Ed’s retirement in 1984 when they moved to Estes Park, Colorado. They subsequently move to Oregon in 1997 to be closer to family. Roberta was an accomplished fiber artist, seamstress, and writer. She volunteered her time at Places for People, a halfway house in St. Louis, Missouri and for Estes Park Hospice. She served on the board of the Estes Park Medical Center. Roberta was active in the Episcopal Church, serving as Christian educator, worship leader, choir member, and leader of numerous committees and boards. She also created vestments and altar linens. She attended Eden Seminary in Webster Groves in the 1960s. She notably served Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Webster Groves, St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church is Estes Park, Colorado, and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in The Dalles, Oregon. Listing her accomplishments only touches the surface of who Roberta was. She was a loving and supportive wife and mother, a gregarious person with a vibrant personality and kind nature. She had a great sense of humor, was a fine conversationalist, and had an intuitive sense of what other people needed and what she could give to them. She was passionately committed to social justice, feminism, and the care of the mentally ill. She leaves a big hole in the lives of the many people who loved her. Roberta is survived by her husband, EdWillamette View, Milwaukie, OR, her children, Ned Kice- The Dalles, OR, Susan Kennedy-Victoria, BC, Christann Higley- Estes Park, CO., David KiceSanta Fe, NM and their spouses. She leaves a sister-in-law, Patricia Kice in Estes Park, eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. A memorial Eucharist service will be held at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, The Dalles, on Saturday, November 17th at 11 a.m. Memorials can be made to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church memorial fund, Hospice of Estes Valley, Colorado, or Willamette Falls Hospice.
