Sister Cities Meeting Next Week The Estes Park Sister Cities Association will hold its annual General Meeting on Wednesday, November 28, 2007 at the Estes Park Museum, at 7 p.m. The public is invited. The agenda will include a discussion of all ongoing programs and projects with our Sister City - Monteverde, Costa Rica. In February 2004, the Mayors of Estes Park and Monteverde signed an agreement establishing a Sister City relationship between the two communities. The agreement calls for cooperation and exchanges in culture, education, governance and tourism. To date there have been a number of programs, exchanges and visits between citizens of the two communities. This summer at the Sister Cities International Convention, the Estes Park Sister cities program received the award for Best Overall Sister Cities Program in a community of 25,000 or less in population. Representatives from Estes Park and from Costa Rica were there to receive the award. Over 600 communities in the U.S. have sister cities in another country. There are 20 communities in Colorado with a sister cities program. The program for Wednesday, November 28 is about some of the exciting programs of other communities. The speaker for the event will be Sue Bolton from the Longmont Sister Cities group. She will be accompanied by a teenage and another adult from their group. The meeting is free and there will be dessert served. Please come and see how you can become involved!

Rotary Foundation Seeks Funding

Recipients For Grants Charitable, educational, and philanthropic organizations in the Estes Valley have until December 31st to apply for grants from the Rotary Club of Estes Park Foundation. Last year, the Foundation gave out $33,000 in scholarships and $22,350 in grants to 21 community organizations. “This is a perfect opportunity for an organization that benefits the Estes Park area to receive money – money for a good cause, with just a little bit of effort,” said James Frank, Scholarship/Grants Coordinator for the Foundation. “All that’s necessary is to send in a request with paperwork, following the guidelines. Organizations should pick up one of the grant guides and follow the instructions carefully.” Grant guides can be picked up at Hobert Office Services at 1140A Manford Ave. or call James Frank at 586-3418. The deadline for applying is December 31st. “There are usually around 25 organizations that apply for the grants each year,” said Frank. “We always look forward to giving money to community organizations that make a difference.” The Foundation’s mission since its creation in 1977 remains the same: “To help foster the general well-being of our community and to provide education opportunities that prepare students to meet the needs of the workplace.” “The Rotary motto is Service Above Self,” explained Frank. “The organizations receiving awards are living this idea, providing services in our community to those in need. That’s why we help.” As a partner-in-community, the Foundation supports a broad range of charitable endeavors which include health and human service, culture and the arts, and other community activities. In order to make significant contributions and maintain continuity of support in its preferred areas of giving, the Foundation typically does not contribute to capital campaigns. Additionally, it does not contribute to endowments, development funds, fundraising events, operating expenses, or foundations. Nor does it make direct donations to individuals. The Foundation receives contributions and in turn contributes only to qualified charitable non-profit organizations in the community. These organizations extend services and benefits to a wide variety of programs, and provide aid to our diverse local population. Donations are made to organizations and institutions only after careful study and review by the founda-

Box 1854 Estes Park, CO 80517 Requests for funding by the Rotary Club of Estes Park Foundation must be made in writing and should include the following: A description of the structure, purpose, history and program of the organization. A summary of the need for support and how such support will be used. Recipients’ activities must fall within the purposes contained in the Foundation’s organizational charter. Financial data on the organization, such as an audit or budget, sources of income, breakdown of expenditure by program, administration of funds or fund raising. If received by the applicant, a copy of the Internal Revenue Service ruling dated after 1969 classifying the organization as tax exempt under section (501) (c)(3) and exempt from taxation under 501 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (or the corresponding provisions of any future United States Internal Revenue Law). Financial support of donors by category (individual or corporate), including the names of corporate or foundation contributors. Non-Discrimination Policy: Does not discriminate in the awarding of community grants on the basis of race, sex, religion, color, creed, disability, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry or age, or any other basis prohibited by law. Recognizes that applicants may limit their services or opportunities to specific targeted populations within the community; however, any such limitations must be reasonably related to the effective provision of the services/opportunities. Contributions from the Foundation are planned a year in advance and are based on an annual budget (July through June). Interim donations normally are not made. Requests should indicate when funds are needed. Contributions made in one year are not guaranteed for future years. Reporting the use of funds is required within six months of the funding. A donation would not be considered to an organization that had not reported on the use of previous Foundation funding. Don’t forget, the deadline for requests is December 31, 2007. For more information, please contact James Frank at 586-3418.

Finally, a light at the end of the tunnel? A reasonable approach to illegal immigration TIRED OF INACTION? You, I’m sure, are as tired of hearing about immigration problems as I am. Most of us have ideas about solving the problem, and perhaps you are the one person who has it all figured out, but are keeping your solution a secret. It is such a complex mishmash of human desperation, economic needs, politics, inadequate laws and confused enforcement over many years, that it defies a fair and balanced, workable solution. If estimates of between 12 and 20 million aliens are at all accurate, the magnitude of the problem and the costs of ignoring it are enormous. Local, state and federal subsidies of illegal families are conservatively estimated at $20,000 per family each year. Nobody knows, it may actually be much higher, and we are talking tax dollars which must come from taxpayers-all of us. Not many know that our government, Uncle Stupid, not only wastes billions with the pointless “catch and release” border protection, but we are also paying Mexico $550 million each year to arm their corrupt police, and protect our border from their side of the fence. Who in our government will take credit for such utter nonsense? Emotions enter any discussion because most Mexicans are very nice people, intelligent and hard working. Many segments of our economy depend on their loyal labors: construction, agriculture, food service, hotels and motels, just to name a few. How many of their employees are legal, and how many are undocumented can only be guesswork. Nobody really knows. “Pie in the sky” idealists, who insist on calling illegals, “uninvited guests,” see no harm in making everyone who sneaks across the border a welcome new citizen; to do meaningful work, to pay taxes, and most importantly vote correctly. They seem to have little concern for the problems created in schools, hospitals, prisons and jails, as well as by the hostile gangs that have taken over control of large areas of some cities. The driver’s license fiasco in New York State is one small example of the nationwide identity problem. The fake ID cards used by illegals employed at Chicago’s O’Hare field may be just the tip of an ice berg in security breaches. For their own reasons, much of our irresponsible media won’t report on border violence which appears to be getting worse instead of better. They even demean the well intentioned Minutemen who volunteer to watch, but have never been confrontational. A great many citizens who feel that laws have a purpose, insist that illegals be denied welfare benefits, and deported to wait in line for admittance, as do immigrants from other countries. Unlikely, even if possible, a mass roundup and exodus would be traumatic

Estes Park NEWS, The Independent and Locally Owned Source for Community Happenings

in many ways, and many, if not most, deportees would soon be back. THE NEW PLAN, RAPIDLY GAINING MOMENTUMResponsible people are working toward a middle ground approach-a possible humane solution in HR 4088, called the SAFE ACT, (Secure America with Verification and Enforcement). It is already sponsored by over 100 Congressmen, and has growing support in the Senate. The goal of this legislation is voluntary deportation, a slow, safe process of drying up jobs over a period of years to encourage the undocumented who can’t find employment, to return to their homeland, and stay there. Recent news items indicate this is already happening in some areas where depressed conditions have forced layoffs. Discouraged unemployed and undocumented aliens are reportedly returning to their more friendly homeland. Because of confused identity and widespread use of fake documents, employers who badly need workers have problems really knowing which workers are illegal and which are legitimate. Spotty enforcement has helped motivate them to comply, but current laws are said to be inadequate. The SAFE ACT sets up new standards of identification, a Federal Data bank of Social Security numbers, and an accounting of SS number violators, who may be in the millions. (Hundreds of thousands of our uninvited guests are Juan Garcia, or Jose Martinez, or other common hispanic names. It also mandates information sharing between the IRS, the SS Adm., ICE, and other agencies which, believe it or not, are prevented from exchanging names, numbers and criminal records. The SAFE ACT requires ICE to work more closely with local and state law enforcement, and changes the laws regarding “Anchor Babies,” and “Chain Migration,” both serious problems under current laws. The proposed plan has sharp teeth, putting heavy hiring responsibility, and stiff penalties on employers. Illegals who are fired will not be employable elsewhere, and encouraged to take their family and go home. As the new law enforcement tightens over a period of four years, unemployable aliens are expected to slowly and peacefully diminish in numbers. Nobody can be proud of how we have bungled this entire matter, and the vast sums wasted in sham solutions. No workable plan will please everyone, but U.S. citizens will not agree to amnesty that rewards law breaking. Everyone agrees that, as the problem grows more acute, something must be done. Let’s hope we can finally get on the right track, become united and attain desired results. STRAIGHT AHEAD! [email protected].

“Pontifications, platitudes and bloviations for the strong hearted. Weaklings are excused.” -oOoFEEDBACK: Edited for brevity. Response in ( ). T. B. in KS asks, “Could you please explain, in simple terms, the difference between our two political parties? (Easy. It’s in their names, Dimwitocrat and Redumblecan, neither covered with glory, making our only choice between the evil of two lessors.) A well known Allensparker, who asks for no initials, says, “Thanks for suggesting Glenn Beck on CNNH. We find him refreshingly candid, and an interesting alternative.” (Yes, Glenn pulls no punches. He and his guests tend to make you think, or try to.) Also, regarding TV, S. R. down Glen Haven way opines, “We have a hard time getting TV down here, but Fox News keeps us in touch with the world. And, oh their cute, sharp gals make it interesting. But what’s with all those endless commercials?” (Fox’s huge audience, and its demographics, attracts advertisers like moths to a candle, and they are doing a big business. They’ve extended some commercial breaks from two to three minutes, packing in eight to 12 messages. At least they announce [sometimes] how long the ‘break’ will be -something I’ve seen no other network do. We wish Fox would be more considerate of their huge audience by rejecting stupid, insulting, tasteless, time worn commercials, and airing fewer of them.) Last week’s dissertation on left-handedness generated such comments as: “I’m right handed but left-footed. Can you beat that?” (No) “There were four kids in my family, all southpaws. Our parent were both normal.” (Good), “Jesus was left-handed,” and (so was ‘Alexander the Great,’ and Barney Fife.) -oOoCONSUMER VIEWS-As your Safeway Signature Soup watchdog, we are happy to report that Safeway has revised their marketing of this fine product. They have changed the labels and reduced the posted price from $5.99 to $4.99 (meatless flavors sometimes on sale at 3.99). So far they have not reduced the size of the 25 oz. carton, (two very healthy servings) or noticeably cheapened the contents. Hot or cold, the “Tuscan Tomato Bisque” is lip smacking yummy, and the “Smoky Cheese and Ale” is quite flavorful. Not so Safeway Select cookies. A recent bag of Macadamia Nut/White Chocolate cookies was so sinfully good we returned for more. Alas, an entirely different and inferior recipe was used, with rather mediocre result. Kudos and a tip of the Balderdash Derby to Safeway for their generous donation of a truck load of pumpkins for the Rotary School Pumpkin Giveaway before Halloween. This annual event is a long time tradition of both Rotary and Safeway. Safeway provides the pumpkins and Rotary gets one to each school kid. -oOoDISCOVERED: Your penny pinching reporter was surprised to discover recently that certain DVDs of lesser known movies and TV shows can now be purchased at a large and dominant discount retailer for $1 each. I won’t admit what I bought, but it’s

been three hours of fun entertainment, all for less than the cost of one cup of coffee. -oOoDULLSVILLE? PRE-HOLIDAYS BLUES? LISTEN UP-If asked to list the most unexciting subjects for discussion, grammar and punctuation might well rank near the top. Not knowing or remembering rules for grammar since our school days, we speak and write by what sounds right -which depends greatly on what we heard at home while growing up. Proper punctuation does not result from conversations-it must be learned. Most of us know where a period belongs, and that in any writing, commas should be sprinkled here and there to clarify meaning. We may tend to wing it where other punctuation is concerned. But there are rules. Knowing and using them separates those who care from the unwashed multitudes. By far the most abused little critter is the comma. Almost everyone, including yours truly, is guilty of either using too few or too many. Neither fault is life threatening. Knowing and using all the rules, upon which even all experts do not agree, is unlikely. All of which is preparation to share a recent discovery which, alas, you may not find as exciting as does Mr. B. Recently I’ve had the good fortune to discover Dr. Richard Lederer, a wordsmith and grammarian, who calls himself a ‘verbivore’ -- a lover of words, and an authority on their origin and usage. One of his many books is, Comma Sense, (written in collaboration with John Shore) which humorously runs the gamut on punctuation. It was within the covers of this paperback that I made my fortuitous discovery, the Serial Comma. Until now, it has been a fairly well kept secret. Hang loose, and in as few words as possible, I’ll let you in on the Serial Comma, and how it can make our written thoughts more clear and understandable -- how it releases us all from the bondage of tradition, and refreshingly permits us to thumb our collective noses at our dear, but rule-bound English teacher? Remember the old days when we used a comma to separate words or phrases in a series until arriving at the word ‘and’ which signaled that the final words were near at hand. Until now, even though it enhanced understanding, rules forbid putting a comma before that transitional ‘and.’ Example: “The soup contained beef, carrots, onions, tomatoes, potatoes and a variety of seasonings.” Commas between the soup ingredients permit a brief pause for separation and understanding. No comma between ‘potatoes’ and ‘and’ rushes the final items, and can cause a confusion of meaning. The new “Serial Comma” rule permits, as always, a comma in a series wherever an ‘and’ might be used, and also between the final item and the transitional ‘and’ in a series, (whenever using a comma tends to clarify meaning). You no longer need feel guilty for putting one there! Now, if someone would only simplify rules for use of the semicolon, or eliminate it altogether. I wouldn’t miss it, would you? STRAIGHT AHEAD!

Child Care Task Force Makes Recommendations

It rests in a philosophy that everyone deserves to feel loved and valued, and to be treated with dignity — both residents and staff alike. It helps explain why more than 27,000 people call us home.

The Estes Park Child Care Task Force presented recommendations at a Community Meeting November 5th. The 18-member Task Force includes representatives from town government, school district, recreation district, Estes Valley Investment in Childhood Success (EVICS), Families for Estes, as well as realtors, parents and child care providers. Since early September the group has worked to identify issues related to child care, early childhood education, and needs of young families. At the Community Meeting various members of the Task Force presented information and research findings along with a proposed community plan for meeting child care needs of families and supporting parents and providers. A young family in Estes Park with two children pays as much as $1,300 a month for child care. Child care costs now exceed the cost of in-state college tuition. Infant care is extremely limited and expensive. The issues of childcare are complex and paradoxical: expensive for families, but non-lucrative for business owners. It is very difficult to “make money” in childcare. Licensing guidelines require strict staff qualifications, yet pay is low, making recruitment and retention difficult. The Task Force also looked at the compelling research now available on brain development and school success. Eightyfive percent of a person’s brain development happens in the first five years of life, making it critically important that children have stimulating environments in their early years. Yet 95 % of our public invest-

Table Tennis Anyone?

Friday, November 23, 2007 ment in education happens after the age of five. Studies have shown that one-third of all children entering Kindergarten and 1st grade are unprepared to learn. Children who start school already behind have a difficult time “catching up,” even with intervention services, and are more likely to drop out of school prior to graduation. The Task Force concluded that investing in quality early care and education not only helps children, but also makes good economic sense for the community. The Federal Reserve Bank reports that investing in early care and education generates a 16% return to communities, in the reduction of expensive social costs later, such as crime, delinquency and welfare. A proactive investment saves money down the road. The Task Force presented three recommendations: First, to increase care options and accessibility, especially for infants and after-school care. Second, to coordinate a community-wide public education campaign to increase awareness about needs of young children and the investment benefits to the community. And third, to create a family resource center to provide support, resources, training, education and funding to families and early care providers. The creation of a family resource center would allow families access to many services and sources of support currently not available. Families are a vital and valuable resource to Estes Park, and providing critical services that today’s families need will help to retain young people in our community. A family resource center will only become a reality when public, private and volunteer agencies form partnerships of support. For more information on how you or your organization might get involved, or to schedule a presentation for your group, please contact Nancy Almond at the EVICS Office at 586-3055 or [email protected].

in the recesses of this computer’s digestive system. In a panic, I called Gordon. Good news—Gordon was in his office, sitting in front of the four screens he has set up on his desk piled high with electronic gadgets and computer parts. As cheerful as always, he told me to bring my laptop out to him and he’d see what he could do. Afraid to further upset the document eating monster but with an early deadline looming, I rushed the little devil to Gordon’s emergency room for a file dissection. We spent hours inside the skinny bowels of this machine, going where no man has gone before, finding files I never knew existed, retrieving documents with names beginning with squiggly lines, stars, and dots and ending with odd extensions like asd and wbk. We talked to a Microsoft techie in the Philippines. We bought file retrieving software. I knelt and begged my computer to cough it up. Nothing. The best column I’d ever written had evaporated into thin air. “But Gordon,” I whimpered. “Aren’t computers designed to periodically save our work somewhere in their innards, only to magically reappear with the wave of your IT wand?” Apparently not. Still we don’t know what happened. Was it human error? (Who, moi?) Was it one of those unexplainable hiccups computers get on rare occasion? Does this ever happen to anybody else? I don’t dare hope that one day, when I have finally given up on the idea that my column from November 23, 2007 will come to light, it will resurface without explanation, so that I may type in the last couple of sentences and send it off for publishing. Meantime, I have forced myself to face the blank screen of my computer once more, shake hands and make up, save my work, and hope this doesn’t happen again. But I will never write another column as good as the one that got away. You may let The Thunker know what you think at [email protected].

It was turning out to be the best column I’d ever written. Thoughts were coming faster than I could record them. My fingers were flying over the keys and I wasn’t making any typos. Colorful, descriptive words were popping into my head without pause; one sentence was light and funny, the next paragraph was so maudlin violins began sighing in the background. Elation overwhelmed me. I was at the pinnacle of my column writing career! Eat your heart out, Dave Berry. This was it! The perfect column… And then it was gone. I gasped, staring at the computer screen where the most brilliant column ever written had just been. My heart went into rapid palpitations as I covered my face and cried out. Stunned, I clicked on “Save” but all I saw was a blank screen. Reducing the size of the wordless document to see if the real document was hiding underneath, I saw nothing. “NOOO!” I shouted. Holding my breath, I clicked “Open,” I tapped “Save As.” I went to Windows Explorer and searched. I clicked every possible option available, waiting to see my beloved document reappear as mysteriously as it vanished. It didn’t. I felt sick. How could this happen? I am religious about saving my work. Even with a surge protector, when there is a lightening storm I shut down the equipment, just in case. I don’t act hastily when closing documents, considering the full import of each step I take. Surely my column was somewhere deep

How To Photograph During The Winter Overview: What would be the most difficult of all seasons to photograph? Winter, of course! It seems that more photographs are discarded in the winter than any other season. Why? Because the average tone of a snow-covered landscape is far lighter than a medium gray. So, the photograph of snow often is underexposed. The rule of snow photography is very simple. "Most of your photographs will probably turn out too dark with possibly with a shade of blue, if you let your meter be your guide." There is also an old saying, "If it is bright, add light." Remember, without side lighting, there are no shadows in snow to cause textures. If you photograph snow on an overcast flat day, all you will get is a dull, light-gray photograph... no matter what you do. Photography during the winter is a challenge, even for the most experienced photographer. So, don't get discouraged, keep learning from your mistakes and keep practicing. Attitude: If you are thinking that it is cold and you would rather be inside with a hot chocolate, snoozing in front of a warm fireplace, your photographs will reflect that attitude. Get pumped and enjoy the challenge of attacking the wintry conditions outside. Your photographs will display your enthusiasm. Protecting Yourself: Dress comfortably warm and you will enjoy your winter photography experience. Learn to recognize the signs of hypothermia (where heat is lost from your body faster than you can produce it). You can be affected by hypothermia in milder temperatures (50 degrees) as well as freezing temperatures. Opportunities: Winter brings out photography opportunities that are quite unique and completely different from the rest of the seasons. There are so many unusual and unique designs available from the newly fallen snow and frozen water. Protecting Your Camera: Try keeping your

camera as warm as possible as most malfunctions occur due to cold batteries. If you can, keep your camera and extra batteries inside your jacket. Take along as many extra batteries as you feel you might need based on the temperature. If it is snowing, protect your camera with a zip-lock bag. Cut an opening for the camera lens and viewfinder. If needed, wrap a rubber band around the bag and camera to hold the bag in place. Do not blow the snow off the camera lens as the condensation from your breath might freeze on the lens. Brush all snow off instead. When you are done for the day, place the camera into a small plastic bag to protect from condensation on the camera when it is brought inside. Don't breathe through your nose on the camera's viewfinder when you photograph as you might create some ice on the viewfinder due to condensation. Protecting Yourself: Always tell someone where you will be going and when you expect to return. You may never be in a dangerous situation, but the first time it happens, you will be thankful that someone knows when you where you are. Don't ever

be too overconfident with your outdoor ability as a hiker in the winter as it will always come back to haunt you. A Few Tips: 1). There seems to be too many gray skies during the winter. Use a graduated filter to color the sky while leaving the foreground natural. 2). When photographing wildlife in snow, the best way to reduce contrast is to use a fill flash. 3). Get prepared the night before and have everything at your fingertips. You become slower in cold weather and it is much harder to do the simplest movement with layers of clothing and gloves. 4). The sunlight during the early morning and late afternoon offers unique photography opportunities due to the reflections and colors. Get an early start and you will be rewarded. 5). Look for the contrasting lines and objects that appear when the snow does not completely cover the landscape. Place yourself in multiple positions to find the most dynamic photograph. Don't forget to add some color to the photograph as it will create a dramatic effect with the white snow. 6). Night photography can be accomplished from the light of the moon. The landscape lights up under the light of the moon and the reflection of the snow. 7). To reduce some sky in the photograph, position yourself at a higher location and look down. 8). Look for the birds. If it is snowing, use a slow shutter speed for the snow to add an interesting effect. Keep in mind, though, that it is a hard combination of wildlife and a slow shutter speed.

Let Your Voice Be Heard Regarding Stanley Lot 4 Dear Editor: Last week, I stated in a letter to the editor that the Town is approving a development on Lot 4 in the Stanley Historic District that is “double” the allowed square footage. One Town official called to tell me that the statement was “grossly” inaccurate. Here are the facts: The Stanley Historic District Master Plan for Lot 4 contains a limitation of 30,000 square feet on any commercial/mixed use development, with all residential to be on the second floor. Alternatively, the Plan calls for 45,000 gross square feet of residential, limited to “30,000 sq. ft. coverage” with no more than a 10,000 sq. ft. “floor plate” allowed for each building. The gross square footage of the proposed Grueff development at 57,879, is nearly double the Master Plan’s commercial/mixed use limit. I understand that the Town adamantly disagrees with this reading. Apparently, the Town believes there is no limit on gross square footage for commercial/mixed use in the Master Plan. The Town is also paying

lawyers to argue that all the variances are allowable. The Stanley Hotel says the Town cannot exceed its legal authority and must abide by the language in the Stanley Historic District Master Plan and the Estes Valley Development Code. This legal fight could last for years, threatening funding for the Performing Arts Center. If the Town loses its case, it could be forced to start all over again. More than 700 people have signed our petitions, calling for a public vote on the sale of Lot 4. The Trustees now have the chance to do the right thing by passing the ordinance and requiring a public vote. The Trustees can also open the bidding on Lot 4, since today there is no contract to sell it. Ours is a government of law, not men. Spending money on legal fights for years to come when the citizens want to vote is imprudent. Let’s find a plan that complies with the rules, reflects the public’s desire to preserve the Stanley Hotel and funds a Performing Arts Center sooner, not later. I urge interested people to attend the Trustee’s meeting on Tuesday, November 27 at 7 p.m. and be heard. Ralph Nicholas Friends of Stanley Lot 4

Why Chiropractic?

Proudly serving the community for the next 30 years

Chiropractic detects and corrects vertebral subluxations, bones in the spine that twist out of place and pinch nerves. Anytime the nervous system is compromised, the body departs from health, often without one’s knowing until symptoms appear. Much in the way regular dental hygiene is necessary to protect teeth, spinal checkups are essential in maintaining body function and overall health.

What is Gonstead Chiropractic? A specific technique that utilizes 5 objective criteria to determine exactly where the nerve pressure exists: Visualization, Instrumentation, Static & Motion Palpation, and X-Rays. Xrays taken on the first visit are used each time the patient comes in for an adjustment; they help to determine which direction the bones have tipped and twisted out of place ensuring a comfortable correction each time.

Benefits of Chiropractic By eliminating nervous system interference, chiropractic helps with the following: Asthma Sciatica Menstrual problems Infantile Colic Fertility problems Neck & Shoulder Pain Low back pain

Vision Disturbances Arthritis Headaches Ear Infections Scoliosis Migraine Headaches

Estes Park Music Festival Concert Features Peggy Lyon Duo Peggy Lyon, piano and Gregory Dufford, clarinet The Peggy Lyon Duo featuring piano and clarinet will take place this Sunday, November 25, 2007 from 2:00-3:15 p.m. in the Stanley Hotel Music Room. The Peggy Lyon Duo has been a favorite of the Sunday Series for several years. Peggy Lyon is a concert pianist whose playing is described as “radiating beauty and an inner intensity of feeling which is simply overwhelming.” She has performed solo recitals in Austria, Peru, and other major cities in the western United States, and has given world premieres of works by David Baker, Eugene Kurz and Istvan Hornyak. She has also performed concerts with orchestras in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Pullman, Washington and Denver, Golden, and Evergreen, Colorado. Lyon has recorded nine solo CD’s. Peggy’s award-winning specialty is giving concerts with commentary about the music and composers. Her talks are informative and humorous and are unique for including outrageous pronouncements of critics. Lyon studied piano and voice at the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music and at the Mozarteum in Salzburg. She has a Masters in piano performance from Washington State University and a Masters in voice performance from the University of Denver. As clarinetist/bass clarinetist for the San Francisco Opera Orchestra from 1980 to 1998, Gregory Dufford performed with

New Art Exhibit At MedX MedX is hosting an exhibit of the remaining inventory of Dorothy Scott lithographs, which will be on display through the end of the year in their facility at 158 First Street. Dorothy Carnine Scott [1903-1993] was a well-known Estes Park artist who printed her own stone lithographs in her studio on Devil’s Gulch Road. While she did work in watercolor and in tempera, it was in oil that she did most of the paintings that are now in museums and private collections in several countries. In the 1950s she began to add lithography to her repertoire and she and her hus-

many of the world finest opera singers. His performing experience went well beyond the opera stage to include 13 years as Principal Clarinetist of the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players. During that period, the group produced seven CD’s on various labels, and premiered works by Elliott Carter, John Cage, John Harbison and others. Gregory also performed with and was a founding member of several other chamber music ensembles in the San Francisco area, such as the Anchor Chamber Players, the Stanford Woodwind Quintet and the Beaumont Ensemble. He also held teaching positions at Stanford and San Francisco State Universities.Since moving to Evergreen, Colorado, he dedicates his time to woodwind instruction and chamber music coaching, and is the clarinet instructor at Metropolitan State College in Denver. The Duo will play works by Gabriel Faure´, Karl Stamitz, John Williams, Rachmaninov and Paquits d’Rivera. Tickets are available at the door on the day of the concert, cost is only $5.00, children and students are admitted free. The Stanley Hotel extends a 15% discount toward lunch or dinner in the Cascade Room to all Music Festival attendees on the day of the concert. Please join us to welcome back Peggy Lyon and Gregory Dufford. The Peggy Lyon Duo is sponsored by State Farm Insurance. The Off Trail String Trio featuring Jean Denney, violin, David Swiss, viola and Joseph Miller, violoncello will perform on December 2nd with a program of classical, folk and Christmas music. For further information, contact our business office at 970-586-9519 or visit our up to date web page at estesparkmusicfestival.org.

band Professor Ewing C. Scott installed a complete lithographic studio in a wing of their house. Dr. Scott taught chemistry in Taiwan, Japan and Hawaii, and several of the pictures at MedX are from that era. Dorothy Scott was a great admirer of another Estes Park artist, the late Herb Thomson, and the two of them went into partnership with a gallery on Rt.7 in the building which was recently Fusion 451, for a couple of years in the 1970s. Both of them are included in the book “Early Estes Park Artists 1870-1970” by Jane Ramsey with Marty Yochum Casey, published by the Estes Park Museum. Visitors are welcome to view the exhibit at MedX, which is open from 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Jenny Dudek New Irish Dance Class Instructor Center Stage School of Dance is now offering Irish dance classes here in Estes Park. According to Center Stage owner, Suzanne Fraiser, “So many people have requested a class on Irish dance and I am so pleased to finally be able to offer this class right here in Estes Park.” The history of the Irish heritage runs deep in the flatlands of the Midwest where new dance instructor Jenny Dudek hails from. The Milwaukee and Chicago areas claim stake to some of the largest collection of Irish families in the country. With such claims, comes the unique and sought after art of Irish dancing. Milwaukee is home to five competitive Irish dance schools, one of them being the world renown “Trinity Academy of Irish Dance.” At this cornerstone academy, local resident, and now, dance instructor, Jenny Dudek cut her teeth on the art at the age of twelve. Her passion and competitive spirit fueled over seven years of competitive competition and five years of instructing. Years of performance at all levels and venues enabled Jenny to build solid relationships with her students and also spurred her on to greater accomplishments. Jenny has taught students ranging from ages four to adult. Her ability to communicate and instruct is a hard combi-

Jenny’s dance accolades include: -Qualifying to dance at the Midwest championships for four years straight. -Qualifying to dance in the solo competition at the U.S. Nationals three times. -One seat away from qualifying to dance at the World Championships in Ireland and Scotland Classes will start on Friday, Nov. 30th at The Center Stage School of Dance: Level 1 @ 5-5:45 p.m. Level 2 @ 5:45-6:45 p.m. Teen/Adult @ 6:45-7:45 p.m. You can register by calling Center Stage at 586-3830, or if you have specific questions about Irish dance, you can email Jenny at [email protected].

By The Book Kieran Rowser Library Assistant - Administration

Happy Thanksgiving! And now, this day after Thanksgiving, this much touted Black Friday where merchants hope to see their stores-and cash registers-filled, many of us will be walking off yesterday’s feast visiting the shops and malls here in Estes and down below attempting to get all of our shopping done. I hope you all have the best of luck finding just the right items to make friends and family happy this Holiday season. Once you’re done with your shopping, and watching the ‘Catch the Glow’ parade in Estes why not make plans to stop in the library and pick up a book or two to relax with after a busy Friday. (A reminder, we are closed this Friday, November 23 but will be open Saturday and Sunday for our regular hours.) Irish Alibi Author Ralph McInerny’s eleventh collegiate mystery kicks off with Notre Dame hosting football rival Georgia Tech. As the campus fills with fans from the two schools the North/South rivalry takes on a hostile twist when Notre dame students (but southern gentlemen), the Kincade twins, identical down to the cut of their hair, decide to pull down a statue honoring a (Yankee) Civil War chaplain on campus. They both have the same alibi but only one of them could have done it. The plot thickens when a woman is found murdered in a local motel and the brothers are implicated. Enter Roger Knight, Notre Dame Professor of Catholic studies, and his semi-retired private investiga-

Old English Feast At YMCA Of The Rockies The Estes Valley Chamber Singers in conjunction with the Estes Park Center – YMCA of the Rockies will be presenting their fourth annual Old English Christmas Feast in the Pine Room on Friday, December 7th and Saturday, December 8th, 2007. Come for an evening filled with good music, great fun for the audience and wonderful food. This year, there will be the usual six course dinner consisting of Potato Leek Soup in a Bread Bowl, Autumn Leaf Salad, Cedar Plank Salmon, Wild Boar, Roasted Pheasant and for dessert, Baked Renaissance Apples. Everyone is served all entrees, so there is no need to choose.

Estes Park NEWS, The Independent and Locally Owned Source for Community Happenings tor brother, Philip to take on the case. “The wit and wisdom of the two brothers and vivid descriptions of the Notre Dame campus enhance a twisty plot that will delight McInerny's devoted fans.”Publishers Weekly. Pearl Harbor: A Novel of December 8th What would have happened if Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto had led the attack on Pearl Harbor instead of his subordinate Admiral Nagumo? Authors William R. Forstchen and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich pose this question in this novel of speculative history. Their premise is that the war would have been significantly altered had the attack on Pearl Harbor been followed by another series of attacks. Antecedents to the attack, such as Imperial Japan’s devastating invasion of China are explored from a Japanese point of view. “…Gingrich and Forstchen won't disappoint their previously established audience of military fiction enthusiasts.” Margaret Flanagan, Booklist 1824: The Arkansas War Another exploration of alternative history is Eric Flint’s 1824. This sequel to the acclaimed 1812: The Rivers of War takes place ten years after 1812. “The Confederacy of Arkansas,” an amalgam of Native American, African-American and white abolitionist citizens is thriving. President Henry Clay invades the upstart country while Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams become allies to form a new political party based on individual rights to oppose the war. Filled with action and political intrigue this novel explores where America could have gone. “Flint deftly juggles historical details and asks important questions: if America had confronted its institutionalized racism earlier, could our Civil War have been prevented? And can enlightening firsthand experience overcome prejudice?”Publishers Weekly.

The Estes Valley Chamber Singers, under the direction of J. Richard Dixon, is an eleven member ensemble in their fourth season of performing. This group is usually dedicated to the performance of choral music of the masters, however, at the Old English Christmas Feast; they enjoy adding traditional holiday favorites to their repertoire along with getting the audience involved in the frivolity. Doors will open at 5:30 with the dinner and show beginning promptly at 6:00 p.m. The cost for the entire evening is $40.00 per person. Tickets will only be sold in advance and may be purchased by calling 970-586-3341 ext. 1007 during the hours of 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. Friday through Tuesday or 970-586-9471 during the evening hours and ask for Brenda. Call early to reserve your seat for a wonderful evening sure to kick off your holiday season with a festive spirit.

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 which was 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 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 were 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.

Patriots For Peace To Show Film On Israel/Palestine Wall Estes Park Patriots for Peace invites the community to a showing of the short documentary film “The Iron Wall,” about the separation barrier being built in Israel/Palestine in conjunction with over 200 Israeli settlements that have been built within West Bank Palestinian territories. The film will be shown on Wednesday, November 28, at 7 p.m. in the Hondius Room of the Estes Park Library. Guest speakers Paul and Mary Ellen Garrett will add observations from their travels to the West Bank last year. There is no

charge for the program; donations are welcome. “The Iron Wall” is a film by the Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committees, directed by Mohammed Alatar, exploring the thinking behind the construction of Israeli settlements on Palestinian lands, and the massive wall being built to protect them. The effects for Palestinian farmers and communities are severe, and the lands available for a future Palestinian state are being seriously fragmented. “If you ever wondered why the IsraeliPalestinian conflict is so complicated, but were afraid to ask, then this is the film to see” says Current Magazine. Former President Jimmy Carter calls this film “the best description of the barrier, its routing and impact.”

November 23rd Catch The Glow Celebration Opens Estes Park Holiday Season Combine our mountain village with holiday spirit, Santa Claus, Dickens carolers, hayrides and an evening parade where all the floats are decked out for the season and you’ll find the largest holiday celebration kick-off in Northern Colorado. It all happens this Friday, Nov. 23 in Estes Park and there’s no fee for any of the activities. A 5:30 p.m. parade is the highlight of the day after Thanksgiving when the community’s long tradition of treasuring family outings is particularly magnified. By then, Elkhorn Avenue, the main street through downtown Estes Park, is lined with people waiting for the hour-long parade of lighted floats to pass. The year 2007 marks the 24th annual holiday parade in Estes Park. The parade typically attracts up to 25,000 specta-

tors from throughout the region. Festivities in downtown Estes Park begin at noon with strolling Christmas carolers, free pony rides, hay wagon rides and visits with Santa. The streets of Estes Park are filled with costumed life-sized characters-from native wildlife like Mr. Elk, Mr. Moose, and Foxy Lady, to story time favorites like Raggedy Ann and Andy, Mr. & Mrs. Frosty and The Three Bears. And of course, there is Rudolph – greeting children and adults before he leads Santa’s sleigh to bring gifts and presents to all good boys and girls. The highlight of this year’s parade will be the “Estes Park Queen,” with Jazz musicians playing favorite Christmas carols from their stage on a rolling paddle boat. This new creation honors this year’s 90th anniversary of Estes Park’s incorporation as a “town.” In all, more than 40 floats will be seen during the hour-long parade. Other entries depict family favorites like scenes from, “Twas the Night Before Christmas,” the Nutcracker and the Snow Queen. The Dickens

Along Moraine By: John Meissner Week 9 Locus: The Empty Keg, (former) 215 Moraine, exactly 51 years ago “Yes, there’s something new under the turkey sun, and it originated in Estes Park with Frank Runz.” ---16 November 1962 Estes Park Trail Hungry? What time is it, 8:15? I know a place called “The Keg”, just 130 steps north of here. Haven’t actually tried it yet, it’s closer than the Peak Inn, which looks kind of dark – if we hurry, we can get something before they close. Is it a chicken place? No, you’re thinking of Chad’s Chicken-in-a-Box Drive-In, same building actually, but he went out of business two years ago. The Keg is no Chad’s Chicken-in-a-Box, I mean, the name alone was a mouthful, and who could match that menu – turkey steak sandwiches, deep-fried turkey, fried chicken, jumbo shrimp, 65¢ pizzas (the whole pizza, not just a slice), hamburgers, thick malts, they even made picnic lunches – but I’ve heard The Keg’s Italian sausage hoagies aren’t bad. Shall we go? Gosh, Chad’s Chicken-in-a-Box. That brings back some memories. I remember nursing fries and thick coffee at Chad’s one night (after last dance at the Riverside) until 4 a.m., until the manager “Bud” Chadwick finished cleaning the grill and turned over the closed sign. He was a talker, all right. Big plans. That boxy building, on the left? That’s the Rocky Mountain Parks Transportation Company. They relocated here last year. Their building housed four different businesses this season (and in the future will average a new business every four seasons) but my guess is,

L. Lawrence Lubeck’s Horseshoe Park.

regardless of the business, it will always be known as the bus depot. I can’t imagine Estes without bus service, can you? I remember how Chad’s had speaker service, even delivery service. Bud Chadwick certainly was a visionary, putting a fast-food place next to where tour buses were going to unload. If only he could have held off his creditors one more year. Say, does anyone need to use the comfort station? No problem, we’ll wait. Huh? No, sorry, not on Moraine. Not for another few decades. You’ll have to use the one on Riverside. I promise, we’ll stay right here. Be careful, everything’s still icy from Monday’s snow. Yeah, L.V. Chadwick. No doubt he had some interesting ideas for a community this size. But I mean, come on, delivering pizzas to people’s homes? Like that would have ever caught on. I found out later he had come here in 1953 to work for Redi-Mix man Fred Wolpert, decided it was about time Estes had a real “drive-in” restaurant. That was such a new concept for the town board (the Dairy King on west Elkhorn a pale forerunner), they called it a “drive-by” restaurant. Towards the end, Bud cynically acknowledged the board’s prescience, admitted that things may have

Estes Park Museum Extends L. Lawrence Lubeck’s Rocky Mountains Exhibit By popular demand, L. Lawrence Lubeck’s Rocky Mountains will be extended through January 6, 2008. Located in the historic National Park Service Headquarters building on the Museum grounds, the exhibit includes selections from Lubeck’s Crust of the Earth Series, which explores western landscapes. The ten selections were completed in Rocky

Mountain National Park between 1980 and 1995. The colorful oil paintings are in the impressionist style and done on large canvases, some of which reach eight feet wide. Painting on location, Lubeck captured unique scenes of the Rocky Mountains by using interesting perspectives atypical of the

been doomed from the get-go. Part of the problem was that part. 3A, Buenna [sic] Vista Terrace wasn’t even his undersized lot, it was Jack and Jeanne Seybold’s (of the Texaco station) and John and Alice Duncan’s. In his mind at least, Jack and Jeanne and John and Alice were one too many cooks in the kitchen. Plus the Davis brothers required any new commercial building on their hill be worth at least $8000. So when Bud finally got enough scratch together, it was too late in the season. He started construction in June 1954, built the place in a month, total rush job, and then kind of blew off his IOU’s to the lumberyard and the plumber. He of all people should have known you can’t stiff local contractors. So Bob Cullen and George Carlson stepped in and took over, and opened The Keg last May. That was quick. All right then, we’re all back together. Does anyone have questions? No, I won’t spring for beer. Of course I recognize you’re all old enough, it just that The Keg doesn’t sell any. I agree, it is somewhat strange to name a place “The Keg” and then not serve any alcohol, but it’s a little complicated. The town granted a liquor license to the parking lot on your left in late 1954, and you just can’t go around handing out beer and liquor licenses to every business and empty lot in town. What do you mean “what do I mean”? This very parking lot is where Clyde R. “Monty” Monzingo of Monty’s Restaurant (eaten there yet? Near the bridge on east Elkhorn, absolute best prime rib) was granted a liquor license two years ago. The American Legion owned the land, the town coveted the space more, so Monty doubled down with another Elkhorn location instead, opened up the “West Wind” this April. Since then, he’s experienced some, how do I put this?, umm, some financial and marital buffeting. Rumor has it he’s been talking California, and not just to himself, which makes some of his suppliers wonder if they’ll

still be holding the bag 50 years from now. Here’s the building up ahead. For a sidewalk cafe, there’s not a lot of sidewalk. The town could at least pour some concrete on the south, to provide access to the skating rink, or else build a better retaining wall for the parking lot, to keep people from using it as a shortcut. Why doesn’t everyone…Gosh. Seems kind of empty. Closed? Hmm, that’s strange, let me check at the Ben Franklin’s next door and find out what’s going on… Forest Johnson said it’s been closed for about a month. He’s not sure, but apparently the bank is interested in the property. Ron Brodie is planning to vacate his half of the bank building soon for his new store on the former Preston Garage lot (which I’d already heard), and, long story short, Forest thinks Charlie might need temporary quarters (Figure 9a) if the bank decides to expand into Ron’s grocery space. I wonder how they’d move that old walk-in safe? Huh? Yeah, sorry, Charlie Hix, president of the bank. I did kind of get sidetracked, but have you ever met Forest? I should introduce you all some time. Stalag POW. Well, what do you think? This time of year, there aren’t a lot of choices downtown. Chubby Chuck’s and The Dinner Bell are closed for the season, Li’l Abner’s is just plain closed. You’re right, waffles would hit the spot, but Harry Norton is on holiday hours at Coulter’s through tomorrow, according to today’s paper. Jax Snax? Sold, won’t reopen as the Plantation Annex until January. Mmm, possibly, but Aspen Grove is a fairly long hike from here to find out. Pretty sure Cottage Inn is closed. Coffee Bar? Um-yeah, except everything still tastes a little smoky from the recent grease fire. No, yes, there is another coffee place (what would Estes be without coffee places?) but the one you’re describing, Nifty Coffee Shop, opens Monday. You’re right. I am being difficult – somehow you’ve made me hungry for chicken. Tell you what. How ‘bout we wait six years and go around the corner to the Continental, for some Chicken in a Duck (inside a turkey). I know, I know, the idea of stuffing a bird inside another bird dates back to the 1830s, but where’s the harm in letting the Runz’s believe their “Three-in-One” turkey (figure 9b, patent pending), potentially the earliest known reference to the turducken, was the original Thanksgiving feast?

many painters who come to Rocky Mountain National Park every year. Lubeck’s impressive paintings are inspiring visitors, young and old. Here is a sampling of how recent visitors have described the artist’s work: “Brilliant - I look at your paintings and can hear the rushing water and feel the heat of the mountain sun.” “Incredible - I’m speechless! The color - the movement - the beauty - the passion!” “You’ve captured the ever-changing beauty and power of Rocky Mountain National Park.” In keeping with Estes Park’s history as an arts colony, and with materials provided by the Museum, everyone viewing the exhibit has the opportunity to create an artistic masterpiece. The activity provides an understanding and appreciation for the task of creating art on a large scale in the beautiful settings of Estes Park. The exhibit guide includes a map to the sites in Rocky Mountain National Park where Lubeck created his paintings. An additional Lubeck piece from the Crust of the Earth Series, of Devil’s Backbone just outside of Masonville, is on display in the Museum conference room for the duration of the exhibit. The mission of the Estes Park Museum is

to collect, interpret and preserve local history, as well as present exhibits, programs and events, for the education and benefit of residents and visitors of all ages. For more information call the Estes Park Museum at 586-6256 or visit the Museum’s website at www.estesnet.com/Museum. During the winter, the Museum is open Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.

Quota Club Needs Your Help Quota Club maintains a “Loan Closet” at the hospital where we keep recuperative equipment to lend out to community members who have had injuries or surgical procedures. Several times we have had wheelchairs returned without the foot rests attached. Some people leave the item at the door, and if they do not attach their name, we have no idea who returned this item. It is very easy to detach the footrests and put them in the trunk of the car, or a closet at home. These foot rests are expensive to replace, if we can get them. So, if you have borrowed a wheelchair from our Loan Closet and have forgotten to return the foot rests, please leave them at the Loan Closet or call Jean Austin at 586-2035, or Mary Jo Seifert at 586-6655 and we will be very happy to pick them up. Thank you for any assistance you can give us.

Winter Driving Tips In anticipation of a major high-country storm this season, CDOT also is urging motorists to be prepared for winter driving and to get the most accurate information regarding road conditions before they travel. Current road and weather conditions are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week via reports and traffic cameras on the www.cotrip.org web site. Road condition information also is available by calling 511. It is important for motorists to remember a few winter driving tips: • Be sure to carry plenty of wiper fluid as liquid de-icers may coat your windshield

• Let the snowplow drivers do their jobs by giving them extra room and never pass • Slow down! Even roads that have been treated with liquid de-icers may be slippery • Don't use cruise control when traveling in winter conditions • Be prepared by having a scraper, snow brush, coat, hat, gloves, blanket, first aid kit, flashlight, tire chains, matches and nonperishable food in your car • Make sure your tires have good tread Additionally, truckers are urged to follow the law and be sure to carry chains if traveling I-70 west as chain laws will likely be in effect. Information on Colorado's chain laws can be found at www.cotrip.org.

The Giving Tree offers holiday shoppers the opportunity to support the mission of Harvest House for Women, by purchasing a gift for one of the House residents. Harvest House is a voluntary association that works with churches and other community resources to provide homeless women with the necessities to become self-sufficient. Beyond the initial aid offered, Harvest House provides its clients with parenting skills, training and job placement, as well as a support network to guide and strengthen their families. Hope and encouragement through the love of Jesus Christ is primary. Bill and Paulette Prohs, owners of True Value Hardware/RadioShack opened their doors to The Giving Tree three years ago.

Harvest House, stop in and choose a card from The Giving Tree, purchase a gift requested by the resident listed on the card, and make a donation of that gift.

This year, there are 60 residents with similar needs and requests. For more information about The Giving Tree; please contact Bonnie and Michael Haughey at (970)586-2127.

The Oratorio Society Presents Handel’s The Messiah December 1 And 2 The Oratorio Society of Estes Park, directed by Claudia Irwin, will present Handel’s beloved The Messiah at the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 1, and at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 2. Two presentations are planned due to overflow audiences in the past. The Society will perform selections from the complete work, which would take over three hours in its entirety. Soloists in these performances will be Scott Anderson, Carol Blanchard, John Breed, Lori Burnham, Jim Docter, Mark Richards, Betsy Skinner, Melissa Westover, and Chris Wood. Ms Irwin has conducted the Oratorio Society chorus and orchestra for at least two concerts a year for the past seven years. Handel composed this extraordinary music in 1741, completing it only 24 days. It was first performed in 1742 in Dublin, Ireland, at a concert given for charitable purposes. Handel himself conducted the concert. Beginning in 1743, Handel presented the concert every year in London. This beautiful music has been received with great enthusiasm from its very first presentations. These performances of inspirational music celebrate the Christmas season in a

wonderfully meaningful way. They also celebrate the Oratorio Society’s Twentieth Anniversary in Estes Park. The Messiah was first performed by the Society in a private home as a sing-a-long in December, 1987. The first public performance was given at the Community Church in 1988. Of that first chorus of 56 members, Melissa Westover, Kathleen Black, John Breed, John Gulliksen, and Mary Lou Haig will sing in this year’s performance. The first orchestra consisted of 14 musicians. Merritt Martin and Ray Novy, of that group, will play in the current orchestra. This year will be the 14th performance of The Messiah by the Society. These concerts, as well as many other masses, symphonies, magnificats, and oratorios have all been presented by the Oratorio Society at the Estes Park Community Church. The church is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year with a series of Centennial Concerts. The church members provide these concerts for the community to share in their joy. The church will also offer an opportunity for patrons to contribute on a voluntary basis to a fund for renovation of the pipe organ. The community has enjoyed listening to this instrument for the past 25 years. The church wishes to repair some of the organ’s mechanics and expand the instrument’s capabilities. Admission is free and open to the public. A free-will offering will be taken to defray some of the Oratorio Society’s expenses. A reception will follow the afternoon performance.

It's Not Too Late To Accept The Great American Smokeout Challenge Did you know tobacco use is the most preventable cause of disease and premature death in the United States? Smoking affects smokers and nonsmokers, causing a variety of diseases including lung and other cancers, heart disease, and lung disease. Overall, it is responsible for about 1 in 3 cancer deaths and nearly 1 in 5 deaths from all causes. Protect yourself, and those around you, by taking part in the American Cancer Society's Great American Smokeout®. This year on November 15, 2007 smokers across the nation were challenged to throw down their smokes and give up smoking for the day. If you missed that date, pick another! The hope is that after getting a taste of success, you will be motivated to take advantage of the many effective ways to kick the habit for good. The Great American Smokeout evolved from an effort to raise money for a high school scholarship fund. Back in 1976, Arthur P. Mullaney of Randolph, Massachusetts, had the idea of asking people to give up cigarettes for a day and donate the money they would have otherwise spent to the scholarship fund. The California Division of the American Cancer Society adapted the idea, and succeeded in getting nearly 1 million smokers to quit for the day of the first Smokeout, November 18, 1976. The Society took the program nationwide in 1977. Smoking and secondhand smoke were once commonplace in office buildings, airplanes, theaters, shopping malls, and restaurants. But dramatic changes have occurred thanks to programs like Smokeout; the work of advocates in opposing public smoking and sup-

Friday, November 23, 2007 porting laws against smoking in public places; steady increases in taxes on cigarettes; and restrictions on tobacco ads aimed at young people. Commit to Quit If you want to quit smoking, never fear: Help is available. It is important to know that there is no one-size-fits-all answer -- pick the method that best suits you, or ask your doctor for advice. Once you settle on an approach, however, there are some general suggestions that have helped others reach their goal: Set a "quit date." Setting a specific date that you plan to quit will help you make a commitment to yourself. Put this quit date in writing and stick to it like you would a doctor's appointment. Throw away smoking paraphernalia such as ashtrays, lighters, and extra cigarettes on that date to help you avoid temptation. Do ask. Do tell. Let friends, family, and coworkers know you are quitting. Ask for their help, and suggest ways they can support your efforts. Look for support. Consider joining a support program, such as a group smoking cessation program, telephone counseling program, or support group. To learn about the options available in your community, contact the American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS2345 or www.cancer.org. Consider medications. There are various nicotine replacement therapies -- patches, lozenges, gums, etc. -- to help a person stop smoking, as well as prescription medications, therapeutic treatments, and other methods to help you succeed in quitting tobacco. Talk to your doctor to see which approach will work best for you. Keep busy. Calm your withdrawal symptoms by going for a walk, drinking water, or talking with a friend. Do not give in to thoughts such as, "I'll have just one." Clean out your car, ashtray, and house to eliminate smoke odors. Stay away from smoky places. Avoid places where smokers gather. Go to the mall, movies, a museum, or other places where smoking is not allowed. To learn more, visit the Great American Smokeout Challenge Web site, or contact the American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS2345. Source: www.cancer.org.

Wildlife Migration Has BegunMore Animals Near Roadways Motorists urged to slow down, be alert in problem areas and at nighttime Motor vehicle crashes involving wildlife were ranked as the third leading cause for crashes behind speeding and inattentive driving. In the southwest corner of the state, including US 160 and US 550, motor vehicle crashes involving wildlife were ranked as the number one cause of accidents. The Colorado Department of Transportation, the Southern Rockies Ecosystem Project, the Colorado Division of Wildlife, the Colorado State Patrol and the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association have once again partnered to bring awareness to motorists via the “Wildlife on the Move” campaign: this time of year, in particular, is the time to be aware of wildlife migrating down to lower elevations—and moving across the highways. While there are recognized major seasonal migration corridors for deer and elk, motorists must be aware that animals can cross roads anywhere and at anytime, said Scott Wait, senior terrestrial biologist for the Colorado Division of Wildlife. "Deer are big and elk are huge. A collision with a big game animal will cause major property damage to a vehicle, and both can cause serious injury to motorists," Wait said. Motorists also should remember that big-game animals travel together at this time of year. "Animals are really moving now. If you see one animal, assume there are more. Don't get fixated watching one deer," Wait said. There were 35,302 recorded incidents of wildlife-vehicle collisions along state and interstate highways between 1986 and 2004. The number of wildlife-vehicle collisions reported by Colorado State Patrol is known to underestimate the actual number of animals killed because it only represents accidents actually reported. CDOT has begun collecting data from maintenance patrols on the number of wild animals killed and removed from the roads. Preliminary maintenance patrol roadkill counts show that roughly twice as many animals are killed as are reported to CSP. This data will serve as a supplement to CSP crash data in the future. “Data aside, it’s safe to assume that when you’re traveling in any mountainous or rural setting you may encounter wildlife on or near the roadway,” CDOT Traffic & Safety Engineer Sean Yeates said. “CDOT places wildlife related signing in locations where there has been a high incidence of collisions. The goal is to notably improve driver safety, and we hope motorists are not becoming immune to the warnings.” The number of collisions peaks between dusk and dawn, from the middle of October until the first week in November. The worst times of day during the peak

are 8:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Overall, crashes with wildlife are on the rise. Factors contributing to the rise include expanding road networks to accommodate new land development; increasing traffic flows; and increasing traffic pulses in the morning and early evening. Unless specific efforts are made to alleviate these collisions, the trend is likely to continue to increase. “Crashes with wildlife are a symptom of a greater issue involving land use, transportation, and growing communities,” said Monique DiGiorgio of the Southern Rockies Ecosystem Project (SREP). “Wildlife is on the receiving end of these issues, resulting in human and wildlife fatalities as well as the fragmentation and loss of wildlife habitat.” Driver Safety Tips "We know that the deer can't read the deer-crossing signs," said Colonel Mark Trostel, Chief of the CSP. "However, you can, and the signs are there because this is an area where deer congregate and migrate. The best advice is to slow down. We cannot stress that enough—if motorists slow down, stay alert and use high beam headlamps as much as possible at night to illuminate the areas from which deer will enter roads, they will have a far better chance at reacting to an animal on the road. And, always buckle up." Other safety tips, listed in the "Wildlife on the Move" leaflet include the following: stay especially alert between dusk and dawn; scan ahead and watching for movement; look for other animals nearby; be ready for animals to change direction; obey traffic signs; and, as always, never drink and drive. These, other safety tips and wildlife information can be found at http://restoretherockies.org/on_the_move.h tm. To ensure that the location of the crash and the type of wildlife hit is recorded in the state's database, drivers that are in an wildlife-vehicle collision should report the crash to the State Patrol by calling *CSP (star key and 277)-a free cell phone call. Insurance should also be considered when it comes to animals on the roadway. “If you hit a deer while driving, you must have the optional comprehensive coverage on your auto policy to pay for the damage to your car," says Carole Walker, executive director of the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association (RMIIA). “Otherwise you will end up paying for car repairs out of your own pocket. The average repair cost of a deer-car collision is nearly $3,000 and these crashes add up to an average of $1.1 billion a year nationwide in vehicle damage.”

Gordon Lauver Hobert Gordon Lauver Hobert, long-time resident of Estes Park, passed away at the Estes Park's Prospect Park Living Center on November 18, 2007. Gordon was born in Naperville, Illinois on September 26, 1914, the son of Walter Edwin Hobert and Nellie Lauver Hobert. He graduated from Naperville High School in 1932, and from the University of Nebraska College of Agriculture in 1937 with a B.S. in Agronomy. He was a member of Farmhouse Fraternity. After graduation Gordon became an Assistant Agricultural Extension Agent in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. On August 5, 1938, Gordon married Margaret Elizabeth (Peggy) Heald, a fellow graduate of University of Nebraska. Shortly after, he and Peggy moved to Ogallala, Nebraska, where he was assigned the position of County Agent. In September, 1941, Gordon started a new career as an apprentice field man with the Great Western Sugar Company. Gordon was called to service by the U.S. Army in June of 1942. He entered the service as a second lieutenant in the infantry and was assigned to the Military Police Battalion 701 (later Battalion 728). He became a supply officer for the battalion and was commissioned a captain. Gordon served for 41 months in the infantry and was honorably discharged in 1945. After his discharge, Gordon returned to the Great Western Sugar Company as a field man. He was promoted in 1950 to Agricultural Superintendent and the family moved to Wheatland, Wyoming. In 1953 Gordon resigned from Great Western to farm his own sugar beets on a large scale in the Wheatland area. Gordon farmed for seven years, and then in 1960 rejoined Great Western. He retired as Agricultural Manager for the ScottsbluffGering area on November 30, 1976 after a

35-year career. Gordon and Peggy retired to Estes Park in 1977, and have lived here since. Gordon was an active member of the Lions Club throughout his working career, and he continued to participate actively during his retirement. He was recognized for his contributions with multiple awards, the most prestigious being the Melvin Jones Lifetime Achievement Award. Gordon is survived by his wife, Margaret "Peggy" Hobert of Estes Park and sister Peg Steffen of Elroy, WI, and four children: Barbara Vandevere and her husband Earl of Battle Creek, Michigan; Sally Whiting and her husband David of Providence Forge, Virginia; Ken Hobert and his wife Marsha of Estes Park, Colorado; and Debra Pajtas and her husband Tim of Durand, Michigan. He is also survived by 13 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by a brother, Walter Hobert, Jr.; one granddaughter, Nancy Lynn Perez; and one great-granddaughter, Andrea Christine Perez. An informal memorial gathering is planned for Tuesday, November 27, at 3:00 p.m. in the main dining room of Estes Park Good Samaritan Village. Friends are invited to attend. Memorial contributions may be made to the Estes Park Lions Club.
