Old Fall River Road In RMNP Now Open Old Fall River Road in Rocky Mountain National Park opened to vehicles last Saturday, June 23, for the season. Old Fall River Road normally opens by the Fourth of July holiday weekend. This summer, during periods of high vehicle congestion, park staff may restrict vehicle access when needed on Old Fall River Road. The road will close for the season on Monday, October 1, for annual maintenance, and reopen to bicycles and pedestrians from October 6 through November 30.

On December 1, the road will revert to trail status.

Old Fall River Road was built between 1913 and 1920. It is an unpaved road

which travels from Endovalley Picnic Area to above treeline at Fall River Pass, following the steep slope of Mount Chapin’s south face.

Due to the winding, narrow nature of the road, the scenic 9.4mile route leading to Trail Ridge Road is one-way only. Vehicles over 25 feet and vehicles pulling trailers are prohibited on the road.

For more information about Rocky Mountain National Kris Hazelton Park, please visit www.nps.gov/romo or call the park’s Information Office at (970) 586-1206.

Street Closures In Effect July 6 For Rooftop Rodeo Parade; Shuttle Routes Altered The annual Rooftop Rodeo Parade will travel through downtown Estes Park beginning at 10 a.m. Friday, July 6.

Portions of Elkhorn Avenue will reopen to vehicles as the parade passes and it is safe for pedestrians. The parade then turns onto U.S. 36 and CO Highway 7, then left onto Fourth Street before ending at the Fairgrounds Park-n-Ride.

These streets will close to vehicle traffic just before the parade arrives.

Side streets along the parade route remain open during the parade, but access to the parade route will be prohibited until the parade passes. To avoid the parade route and bypass downtown, motorists may use alternate routes including the Moccasin bypass, Graves Avenue, Community Drive, U.S. 36 to Mall Road, and U.S. 34.

The Estes Park Free Shuttles will experience some delays due to the parade July 6 beginning at 9:30 a.m. until the completion of the parade. The shuttles are expected to resume the normal schedule by noon. The following stops will be out of service during the parade: Brown Route #1 - Estes Park Visitor Center and #17 - Barlow Plaza; Silver Route – expect delays at all stops; and Gold Route (Elkhorn Express trolley) all stops out of service.

Abner Sprague: Remembering A Legendary Local Pioneer

Storyteller Kurtis Kelly will perform a special re-enactment of the life of pioneer-homesteader Abner Sprague on Thursday, July 5 at 7:30 p.m. The one-hour program will take place at the Moraine Park Discovery Center Amphitheater, and the event is sponsored by Rocky Mountain Conservancy. Registration is $15 per person, and advance registration may be done at www.rmconservancy.org.

Few characters embody the feisty spirit of the American West as purely as the intrepid Abner Sprague (1850-1943). He arrived in Colorado as a boy of 14, destined to become a land and railroad surveyor, setting up his ranch—and later his hotel—in today’s Moraine Park. He would witness the advent of “dude ranch” tourism, as Easterners and Midwesterners flocked to his ranch, prompting his famous declaration, “There’s more money in milking tourists than in milking cows.” His mountain adventures

were legendary, once finding himself lost in an 1896 blizzard on the Continental Divide, and later scaling Longs Peak at age 74 on the 50th anniversary of his very first ascent. Cantankerous to the end, he made national headlines when he tried to enlist himself in World War II at age 91.

Kurtis Kelly has been re-enacting Sprague for more than 25 years. Kelly is also well-known for his many re-enactments of such local legends as Enos Mills, the Earl of Dunraven, and F. O. Stanley.

A campfire gathering with marshmallows and s’mores will be available after the presentation. Attendees should plan to bring jackets or rain gear to prepare for any weather changes during the outdoor event.

Free Program About The Rockdale Hotel This Saturday With Estes Park Archives

How much of the Rockdale (inset) made it into the Chalets? Photo courtesy Estes Park Archives

When Charles Robbins married Nettie Jones in June 1908, he entered into one of the pioneer families of Estes Park, the Hupps (Nettie's mother was a Hupp), and some of the most picturesque property along Marys Lake.

Initially, Charles Robbins, who found work mostly as a house painter, managed summer rental units on the grounds known as the Rockdale Cottages, and when this proved successful, formed a partnership with Clarence Nevins to build a nearby hotel, which they opened in the summer of 1913 and called the Rockdale Hotel. Despite initial glowing reports and predictions of a rosy financial future, the hotel went into receivership in early 1916, and the purchaser moved the building up the hill, adding rooms and eventually renaming it the Lewiston Chalets when it came un-

der the umbrella of the bustling A.D. Lewis hotel empire, which for a short time in the late 1920s included the Stanley.

In light of the recent fire at Marys Lake Lodge (the former Lewiston Chalets), the question comes up yet again of how old the oldest portion of it actually is.

Simply stated, how much of the original Rockdale Hotel, if any, is contained in the current lodge?

The Estes Park Archives will examine this question with plenty of pictures at its regular weekly program this Saturday at Molly B's restaurant on 200 Moraine Avenue. The free program, open to the public, begins at 10:00 a.m. Reservations are not required, but a call to 586-4889 beforehand will give us some idea how many to expect.

July 10 Meeting For Democrats In Estes Valley The Estes Valley branch of the Larimer County Democrats will meet on Tuesday, July 10, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. in the Hondius Room of the Estes Valley Library.

The agenda includes results of the June 26 Primary Election, the final slate of Democratic candidates for the November ballot, plus voter outreach efforts and events leading up to the November 6 General Election.

Two of my best friends, a married couple, were discussing their bedroom lighting. It seems one doesn’t like the other one’s choice of a bedside lamp. It’s a floor lamp with a little round table surrounding the post halfway up. Don likes it because the little table has just enough space for his glasses and alarm clock. Besides, the luminary was his parents’ and he remembers it from childhood.

The lamp used to be on Kris’s side of the bed but the little table isn’t wide enough to hold all her reading material and therefore, is almost useless in her opinion. Besides, she thinks it has an ugly shade—it’s old and permanently dusty. So the floor lamp with the ugly shade is on his side of the bed, which means they had to go out and buy a new table and table lamp for her side. They couldn’t settle on what style of lamp to buy for her. Light shade/dark shade. Tall shade /squat shade. Thin and plain base or thick and ornate? Potato/potah-to, tomato/tomah-to.

The shopping experience left them in the dark.

That’s the thing about lamps: we pay little attention to other people’s, yet our own are an expression of our personal taste and require extensive consideration before acquisition.

When you need a new light fixture, you don’t just go out and pick up any old lamp.

That’s way too easy. You start looking and discover how few lamps portray the image you desire. You end up shopping around, finding little that suits you, and shopping some more. What was supposed to be a quick run to Home Depot becomes a multi-week ordeal involving all the decorator shops in town, several lamps-only stores, then Pier One, American Furniture Warehouse and Lamps Plus online. Finally you settle on the perfect fit and then nobody ever notices your selection.

Unless you intentionally select one that makes a statement. My parents bought lamps that made statements. The one that comes to mind has a base the same size and shape of an oatmeal container, but it’s wrapped in fake vintage paper money. Now that they are downsizing, they want to get rid of it and none of their offspring—nor their offspring’s offspring—want it.

“Oogly, ” my brother says.

“Just not my style, ” the rest of us mumble in turn, afraid to hurt Dad and Mom’s feelings.

My mom made a list of all the lamps in the house, along with everything else she and Dad own, from the cars down to the toaster tongs he made out of tongue depressors. We call this list The Inventory.

Mom gave a copy of the document to each of the five kids and asked us to rank every item. If we put a “1” next to an item, it meant we couldn’t live without it. If we put a “5” down, it meant we’d be happy if we never saw that item again. Every single lamp in the house got a 5—a thumbs-down by every one of us. Yet these are lamps my folks chose with careful discernment.

Can you recall a single lamp you’ve seen in someone else’s house that made an impression on you—enough that you could turn to the person you’re having lunch with and describe it? I can’t. Lamps just aren’t like that. Except for Dad and Mom’s fake-money lamp. And you know, after we get rid of that lamp and Dad and Mom are long gone, we’re going to wish we still had it.

Or maybe not.

Larimer County Presents 2018 Environmental Stewardship Awards The Board of Larimer County Commissioners, and the Environmental Science and Advisory Board honored three individuals/organizations for their outstanding work with Environmental Stewardship in Larimer County at the 22nd annual Environmental Stewardship Awards.

Including this year’s awards, 85 individuals or groups have been recognized since the program began in 1995. The awards are given to individuals, businesses, and groups that have committed to engaging in activities that exemplify outstanding stewardship of the environment.

The award winners for 2018 are: 1. Bestway Painting and Timothy Stolz Timothy Stolz, the owner of Bestway Painting in Estes Park, administers a program where he collects unused paint and stain for recycling. The past year was the program’s first year, and it was highly successful - collecting more than 70,000 lbs. of paint! Bestway Paint collects and stores the paint throughout the year, and then provides the labor to load PaintCare trucks when they come to the Estes Valley for pick-ups. Tim’s program was particularly important while Hwy 34 was closed, which made it very difficult for contractors and citizens to properly dispose of their paint and stain at the Larimer County landfill.

Tim works with community youth who volunteer their time with the program, and he participates in the Estes Park Earth Day Celebration by sponsoring the event’s first-place prize of $100 for the top poster presentation. Tim’s work has contributed much to improve water quality in the Estes Valley by keeping unwanted paints and stains out of the local waterways.

2. Estes Valley Watershed Coalition The EVWC is a non-profit organization comprised of Estes Valley citizens who volunteer their time to plan and implement watershed restoration projects. The Coalition also serves to educate the local community on the importance of the watershed to water quality, flood risk, and fish and wildlife. They work with the community by involving stakeholders and students from the local schools in all of their projects.

In 2017 the Coalition completed 14 mitigation and watershed improvement projects, costing more than $4 million, primarily funded through federal and state grants with local matching funds.

Restoration projects took place in Fish Creek, Fall River, and the Upper Big Thompson River, and included over three miles of stream improvements. The result of their work has improved public safety and contributed to more resilient watersheds within the Estes Valley. Wildlife has benefitted as well, and even during the construction phase, beavers, waterfowl, and fish moved into the newly constructed pools within restored streams.

Using their watershed master plan as their guide, the Coalition continues to work on stream improvement projects in the Estes Valley.

3. Ridgeline Hotel The Ridgeline Hotel in Estes Park integrates environmental stewardship through its GreenPath program. This includes using LED bulbs for all their lighting, offering a recycling program for glass, aluminum, batteries and more.

They installed bulk soap and shampoo dispensers in their showers, eliminating the plastic waste associated with the small bottles typically provided. They also educate their guests on the importance of water conservation through providing them a shower timer that challenges them to a five-minute shower. Guests can contribute to reducing the Hotel’s environmental impacts by participating in an “Opt-Out of Housekeeping” option in exchange for a free drink.

The Hotel’s Ridgeline’s Latitude 105 restaurant, and adjacent Estes Park Conference Center, eliminates its food waste using a Food Waste Digester. Since February of this year, they have digested 1.3 tons of food waste that would have otherwise gone to the Larimer County landfill.

At the conference center, the hotel hosts zero waste events by using reusable or compostable service ware.

About Larimer County Larimer County serves all residents and businesses through stewardship of numerous community resources, infrastructure improvement and maintenance, planning services, transparent public records, human and economic health initiatives and broad community-wide public safety services. The County has a rich agricultural and western heritage that is reflected in our commitment to a high quality of life and preservation of our natural areas.

Longtime Estes Park Resident Vern Mertz Is An Inspiration In So Many Ways

By: Laurie Button

When Vern and Bob Brunson (both World War II veterans) got together in 2010 and decided they wanted to raise funds for Honor Flight, little did they know the impact their decision would have on the Estes Park community. In the years that followed, the committee they established raised more than $100,000 to send Estes Valley veterans on flights through Honor Flight Northern Colorado to Washington, D.C. to see the war memorials there.

But it was when the residents of his hometown—Walnut, Iowa—built a monument for veterans, that Vern got yet another idea: Why couldn’t there be something like that in Estes Park? He took it upon himself to visit more than fifteen different monuments for veterans in Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Colorado. Vern is quick to commend all towns that have a monument or a memorial honoring our nation’s military veterans. But he wanted something more for Estes Park.

“All of the monuments I visited were made out of concrete, brick, tile, mortar, and other man-made materials,” says Vern. “One even had boulders made out of concrete.”

He wanted to utilize local materials like granite, sandstone, flagstone, and natural boulders. He shared his idea with fellow residents Gary Brown and Carey Stevanus, who immediately jumped onboard with his concept and the Veterans Monument Committee was born. Architects Joe Calvin and John Bostron quickly volunteered to draft Vern’s vision onto paper. Sculptor Daniel Glanz of Loveland created the spectacular bronze eagle and flag that

Vern and his cake.

provide the centerpieces of the monument design. With the support of the Town’s administration, staff, and an outpouring of contributions from the community, the monument is now a reality. It is located on a beautifully landscaped site along the river immediately west of the Visitor Center on Big Thompson Avenue.

For health considerations, Vern and Jeanie moved back to Walnut about a year ago. But this past weekend Vern was able to visit Estes Park and see the monument he inspired firsthand. He shared the moment with members of the committee and others from the area.

Following the visit, Vern was able to spend time with his many friends at a

small reception held in his honor.

Vern has seen many photos of the finished product, but nothing he says comes close to seeing it with his own eyes. And as for us, we all thank Vern Mertz for his vision and his true dedication to each of our nation’s veterans.

Inspired Art Experiences is the creation of Lora and Natalie Patrick. Lora, an art teacher, and her eldest daughter Natalie, are the mother/daughter team behind the budding art creation business. The concept behind “Inspired” is designed around the idea that making art is a wonderful, personal experience that allows people and families to connect with

people might view art making as requiring the same level of courage, if not more, as zip lining, river rafting, or skydiving. There is vulnerability in the art creation, due to its deeply personal nature. That is why so much time and care is put into the planning and design of each Inspired ‘Art Experience’. The team has drawn on their skilled and extensive background to design projects that every level of artist can be successful at. They will masterfully guide you through each step of the process. At the end of the experience the budding artist will have pride in what they made, while still allowing freedom for more practiced artists be able to utilize their creative license. No artist is ever left behind. They hope to “Inspire” their brave artists to create unique and cherished art work

Making art is an exciting adventure for Natalie and Lora. You never know how each piece will turn out, but you know that it will be as unique as it’s creator.

They understand, however, how some

Natalie and Lora are very grateful and excited to be part of the Monday Artisan Markets for the first time. For this year’s Artisan Market, they are offering the chance to create personalized tie-dyed tshirts. You can wear your own work of art! They offer several different tie-dye techniques, from the traditional swirl to the Colorado Flag pattern.

Natalie and Lora look forward to offering a wide variety of other art experiences in the future. Stop by and get Inspired!

For locals and tourists who want something different and fun – come and create a one of a kind tie dye shirt that you can wear.

Help Keep Young Wildlife Wild

Photo by Kris Hazelton

With the arrival of summer in Colorado, residents and visitors will soon see an abundance of new life, including young wildlife. Many birds and mammals give birth this time of year, and Colorado Parks and Wildlife advises that if you see young wildlife to leave them alone.

Newborn wildlife may be found in backyards, along trails, open spaces or in some rare instances in parking lots.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife receives numerous calls each year regarding young wildlife that has been "abandoned" by adult animals. And in petfriendly Colorado, many humans are tempted to "help" a young animal by picking it up or trying to feed it. Wellmeaning people sometimes bring baby wildlife to rehabilitation facilities or to CPW offices, but that's the wrong thing to do. There is simply no substitute for their natural parents.

Wildlife experts want people to know that it is quite normal for adult animals to leave their young alone in a safe place while they go search for food. And in the case of baby birds, people are quick to deem them abandoned, though in most cases, they are just learning to fly and are likely very near their nests.

"Baby mammals are scentless in order to prevent predators from finding them," said Janet George, senior terrestrial biologist for CPW. "When humans touch these animals, they leave behind a scent their adults will not recognize or may even fear. This can result in true abandonment of healthy offspring. It is best

spread disease to humans or pets.

Finally, it is imperative for Coloradans to understand that there is a vast difference between wildlife and domesticated animals. It is illegal to feed or own most wildlife in Colorado, so despite best intentions, “adopting” a wild animal rarely leads to good outcomes. Hand-fed animals with no fear of humans are rarely returned to the wild due to their lack of survival skills. Licensed wildlife rehabilitators are trained to use methods that will give a wild animal the best chance of surviving upon release. CPW asks people to call the agency or these rehabilitators to ensure the best outcome for animals.

for people to leave them alone."

Because birds do not have a highly developed sense of smell, baby songbirds can be picked up and moved out of harm's way or placed back in their nests if absolutely necessary. Raptors, however, are a different story; Great-horned owls and other raptors are territorial and have been known to fly directly at humans seen as a threat to their young.

Deer fawns found in backyards are frequently brought to wildlife offices. They have not been abandoned so don't touch them.

If you do encounter young wildlife on the trail or in your yard, leave the animal where it is, and be careful to keep pets out of the area. Use binoculars to quietly view the animal from a distance.

It’s important not to get too close to the animals, nor linger near them, as human

Photo by proximity and time spent in the area Jim Ward may make the wild parents afraid to return.

If 24 hours pass and the parent does not return, or a young animal appears sick and weak, it is possible the newborn was abandoned or the parent may be unable to return due to sickness or death.

In this instance, concerned citizens should call the nearest CPW office. The agency has teams available to determine if an animal truly needs aid and the ability to safely transport it to a certified wildlife rehabilitation center if necessary.

Never move an animal yourself.

In addition to potential harm to the animal, there is a potential for harm to humans.

on the course in the A golfer takes a swing s at the Estes Park late 1970s or early 1980 18-Hole Golf Course.

The tournament consists of teams of two, with the option to play in one of two divisions—competitive and fun. The competitive division incorporates total team handicaps divided into flights. The fun division will have a Callaway handicap system. Players of all abilities are encouraged to play in this scramble for 18 holes.

The $150 per-team fee includes green fee, a cart, range balls, prizes, lunch at Smokin’ Dave’s BBQ at the Hangar Restaurant, birthday cake and a tee gift for every player. There will also be door prize drawings and close-to-pin contests on all par 3s. Other EVRPD locations are also joining in on the fun with free birthday cake (while supplies last) at the Estes Valley Community Center and the Lake Estes 9-Hole Golf Course starting at 11 a.m. on July 4.

“This is a special occasion for our course here in Estes Park, which is one of the oldest in Colorado,” said Mark Miller, Manager of Golf Services. “Only a handful of courses have reached this milestone in the U.S. and we are excited to be one of the few in that collection.”

On November 10, 1917, The Estes Park Golf and Country Club filed articles of incorporation. Some of Estes Park’s most notable men of the time served on the Board of Directors—H.P. James, H.E. James, E.J. Mills, Ed B. Andrews, J. E. McDonald, Samuel Service and Julian Hayden.

Over the next few months by-laws were written, 250 stock shares were issued with a value of $25,000, and three members—Howard James, Homer James and Ed Andrews—were appointed to build the course. The first design was an 18hole course set against Fish Creek, where a former course financed by Lord Dunraven once stood and a clubhouse used by that course was built in 1909. (That clubhouse is the same one on the 18hole course today that is home to Smokin’ Dave’s BBQ at the Hangar Restaurant and the golf course pro-

shop.) H.E. James was appointed the first golf operator.

The three men worked hard through the winter and spring, and the course opened for the first round of play on July 4, 1918.

Since that time, the course has seen a variety of changes, updates and even changed ownership.

Due to the financial crisis happening in the U.S. in the 1930s, the 18-hole course was converted to a 9-hole course and an airstrip was built on the western edge of the course with hopes to improve sagging tourism in the area. The airport did very little to promote travel to Estes Park and was a dangerous location that resulted in several bad crashes. It closed in the late 1940s.

Finances at the course continued to stumble along and on July 6, 1944, a two-thirds majority of the stockholders voted to turn The Estes Park Golf and Country Club over to the Town of Estes Park.

In March 1957, the Town of Estes Park signed a long-term lease agreement with the recreation district, then called the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Recreation District.

The recreation district soon thereafter started the process of obtaining funding to transform the 9-hole course from one with buffalo grass fairways, sand greens and prairie for rough back into an 18hole course with grass fairways, a watering system and locker rooms with showers.

Henry Hughes, a golf course architect from Denver who designed and built more than 40 golf courses in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nebraska and Texas during his career, was hired to transform the Estes Park Golf and Country Club.

The remodeled course opened on July 5, 1960 as the Estes Park Municipal Golf Course, which has evolved into being called the Estes Park 18-Hole Golf Course.

Charlie Rourke Hits A Hole-In-One! EVRPD To Celebrate Park And Recreation Month With A Full Calendar Of Activities Summer is here, which means it’s time to get your play on. This July, discover the power of play with Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVRPD) as we celebrate Park and Recreation Month. A variety of fun activities are planned for residents of all ages and abilities— including dive-in movies at the Estes Valley Community Center, Ice Cream Day, scavenger hunts every Friday, and a photo contest.

EVRPD is celebrating Park and Recreation Month, an initiative of the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), and all the ways parks and recreation has the power to transform our daily lives. From providing us places to play, get fit and stay healthy to fostering new relationships and forging a connection with nature, our close-tohome community park and recreation facilities provide essential services and improve the quality of life for residents and visitors of Estes Park.

“Estes Park is a mecca for recreation any time of the year,” said Tom Carosello, Executive Director for Estes Valley Recreation and Park District. “But summertime is especially busy in Estes Park. We are thrilled that we can provide such a variety of recreation opportunities while having a positive impact on the community.”

EVRPD will celebrate Park and Recreation Month with activities throughout the month on the mild side of recreation. In addition to the activities we will coordinate, EVRPD has a complete list of ideas for daily outdoor recreation on our website, including a kayak ride on Lake Estes, a bike ride along the Lake

Estes Trail, and a picnic at Cherokee Draw.

For the first week of the month, we will celebrate the 100th birthday of the Estes Park 18-Hole Golf Course with a centennial tournament and free cake (while supplies last) at the Estes Park 18Hole Golf Course, the Lake Estes 9Hole Golf Course and the Estes Valley Community Center.

We will also launch our weekly waterthemed movies at the Estes Valley Community Center. Playing on the new big screen in the lap pool area, these movies will provide entertainment while viewers swim in the pool.

The first movie on Tuesday, July 3, is Surf ’s Up. This animated mockumentary follows the misadventures of a northern rockhopper penguin as he follows his dream of becoming a professional surfer. The movie will start at 11:30 a.m.

Cost is $5 per person for community center members; $7 for non-members.

Another way EVRPD is celebrating the month is by hosting a weekly photo contest encouraging people to show how they play around Estes Park. One grand prize winner will receive a 20punch pass to the new Estes Valley Community Center and their winning photo will hang in the Estes Valley Community Center during the first year of operation. Visit www.evrpd.com/parkandrecmonth for more information on how to participate.

Entries can be submitted via the hashtag #PlayOnEstesPark on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/evrpd.

Charlie Rourke of Fort Collins hit her first hole-in-one on Monday, June 25, 2018 on the 6th hole at the Lake Estes 9Hole Golf Course. She said she was extremely excited since she has only been

Estes Park Gun & Archery Club Public Days At Common Point Outdoor Range From The Estes Park Gun & Archery Club.

Each Saturday morning from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon from now through October 27, the 970 Noels Draw Lane outdoor shooting range will be open to the public.

We welcome members of our community, the front range, and out of state visitors to the pistol, rifle, archery and trap ranges.

Members of the gun club and the public are expected to bring their own paper targets, firearms, and ammunition as well as eye and hearing protection and drinking water. (Loaner eye and ear protection devices are available as well as drinking water for $1.00 per bottle).

Range Safety Officers (RSOs) will be on hand to aid in the safety of handling firearms and to go over range commands and protocol.

Members of the public and/or guests will be required to sign a release of liability form whether they are a spectator or a shooter. The fee for the public to use the range will be $5.00 per person and there will be an established sign-in table.

The trap range will operate only when

weather permits as high winds make it unsafe to operate the trap barrier curtains. The fee for trap is $8.00 per round.

Specific directions to the range can be found on the club’s website at www.epgunarchery.com but the range is located about 5-1/2 miles east of Estes Park at mile marker 68.5 on Highway 34 and look for signs near the range road and bridge.

There is a restroom on site but no running water. Also, remember to bring sunscreen as shade is very limited. There is plenty of parking available and all shooters are expected to know and abide

by NRA safe rules of handling firearms and if unsure of these rules, an RSO will be glad to go over them with you.

Thank you and we look forward to a safe and enjoyable summer season at The Outdoor Range at Common Point.

Rodeo VIP Experience Is Growing Town of Estes Park, Rooftop Rodeo enhancing the opportunities for guests Just a year after creating the VIP Experience for Rooftop Rodeo, the town of Estes Park is already upping the ante to those patrons.

“This is going to be great for those people who are interested in experiencing our rodeo in a very special way,” said Ben Vigil, president of Estes Park Western Heritage Inc., a group of volunteers that works with the town of Estes Park to produce the annual rodeo. “What the town has established this year will make it an even better experience.”

It’s all a major component for fans of Rooftop Rodeo, set for 7 p.m. Thursday, July 5-Tuesday, July 10, at Granny May Arena inside the Estes Park Fairgrounds.

The VIP Experience allows patrons a tour of the rodeo grounds before the show, access to the exclusive VIP patio at the west gate, dinner in the hospitality area, drinks and the opportunity to utilize the padded seats in the grandstands.

“We sell our VIP Experience tickets at $100 apiece, and those people will have a permanent host for the evening,” said Rob Hinkle, the community services director for the town of Estes Park. “This year in the VIP area, we have brought in a stage that we will be able to convert into an elevated viewing area with its

“It’s going to be set up west of the arena where the hospitality tent used to be.”

The VIP and contestant hospitality will now be in the Estes Park Events Complex west of the arena.

“We really wanted to provide a better experience,” Hinkle said. “We were having to rent the tent every year, and it just didn’t provide the experience we wanted.”

“By doing this, it allows us to put this really nice viewing platform in position, which we hope will enhance the experience for those patrons.”

Over the years, Rooftop Rodeo has been recognized as one of the premier stops in rodeo. Much of it has to do with the picturesque setting of Estes Park, but it also has to do with the hospitality provided and the nature of the competition.

Cowboys and cowgirls have marveled at the fans who make their Rooftop Rodeo experience even better.

“We’re in a unique position in Estes Park where we have a beautiful setting and a wonderful community to welcome the contestants,” said Mark Purdy, chairman of the rodeo committee that has received six Rodeo of the Year awards in its history. “We strive every year to give the cowboys, the cowgirls, the sponsors and the fans the best experience they can have.” Tickets at rooftoprodeo.com

Hyland Reigns As Miss Rodeo Colorado

Former Miss Rooftop Rodeo serving as state’s ProRodeo ambassador The road from Windsor, Colo., to Estes Park is 44 miles long and features many winding turns and tight corners.

Alex Hyland knows every bit of it. Six years ago, she was Miss Rooftop Rodeo, the rodeo queen enlisted to serve as ambassador to the event and to the town.

“I like to joke that I learned how to drive with a horse trailer when I was 15, because I would drive up Highway 34 to

Western Heritage Inc., a group of volunteers that works with the town of Estes Park to produce the annual rodeo. “We would love nothing more than to see her become the next Miss Rodeo America.”

In the history of the MRA pageant, which dates back to 1956, only five ladies from Colorado have earned the title. The last was Tara (Graham) Rowe in 2001.

“This is not only a dream come true, but it is the best job ever,” Hyland said of the Miss Rodeo Colorado title. “This is

go to Rooftop Rodeo,” said Hyland, the reigning Miss Rodeo Colorado. “Now I’m a college graduate, so a lot has changed.”

She will return for all six performances of this year’s event, set for 7 p.m. Thursday, July 5-Tuesday, July 10, at Granny May Arena inside the Estes Park Fairgrounds.

“During that time in between, I tried out for Miss Rodeo Colorado three times,” she said. “Each time I tried out, I had my Rooftop Rodeo family in the audience. Not only were they helping me behind the scenes, but they were also there cheering me on.”

They will continue to be her support system as she makes her rounds across the state and the country. In December, Hyland will be one of the state royalty contestants vying for Miss Rodeo America during the pageant in Las Vegas.

“We are extremely proud of Alex and are excited to see her take this next step,” said Mark Purdy, chairman of Estes Park

something I’ve wanted since I was 8 years old.

“I love traveling to different rodeos and meeting the people who love the sport as much as I do. I love meeting the people who are on the rodeo committees.

This is their vacation hours they are putting into this rodeo. It is an incredible, humbling feeling.”

As the state’s ambassador, she will make her way to as many Colorado ProRodeos as her schedule allows. But she will always hold Rooftop Rodeo close to her heart.

“What makes that rodeo so great are the people who are there behind the scenes, the entire committee and the town of Estes Park,” she said. “Plus, there’s not a prettier place to watch a rodeo.

“The atmosphere at Rooftop Rodeo is just incredible. The energy you feel at the begging of that rodeo is just unreal.”

That’s just another reason she’s excited to return.

In some states, especially in the West, water laws stated that all precipitation belonged to existing water-rights owners, and that rain needs to flow to join its rightful water drainage.

Water in Colorado must be allotted according to the prior appropriation system. This is a common system in the West and is often referred to as “first in time, first in right. ” [see http://water.state.co.us/surfacewater/swr ights/pages/priorapprop.aspx] At one time, the collection of rainwater for beneficial use was recognized as a potential injury to senior water rights and was historically prohibited in Colorado.

However, under a new Colorado law, House Bill 1005 (2016), residential homeowners are now able to use two rain barrels, with a combined capacity of 110 gallons, to capture precipitation from their rooftops. The collected precipitation is required to be used on the property where it is collected and may only be applied to outdoor purposes such as lawn irrigation and gardening.

So, here we are in 2018! Let’s take advantage of this great opportunity.

Did you know rain barrels have community as well as household benefits?

Besides contributing to your beautiful flowers and plants, here are some of the benefits of using a rain barrel as part of your eco-friendly gardening: 1. Rainwater is better for your plants and soil. Rainwater is highly oxygenated, free of the salts, inorganic ions, and fluoride compounds contained in tap water that accumulate in the soil over time and potentially harm plant roots. Use of rainwater in your garden dilutes this impact, making plants more drought-tolerant, healthy, and strong.

2. You’ll help to reduce runoff pollution. When it rains, runoff can pick up soil, fertilizer, oil, pesticides and other contaminants and push them to other areas of the landscape. These pollutants can increase algae growth in lakes, alter the habitat for fish, and even make lakes and oceans dangerous for recreational activities. Your water collecting stops some of this damaging flow.

3. You’ll contribute to erosion prevention efforts. Rain runoff is also an important issue in places where land erosion is a concern. Your rain catching activities will be especially helpful in these cases.

4. You’ll cut down on the amount of water that must undergo expensive and energy-intensive sewage treatments.

Capturing rainwater and putting it straight to use in your garden eliminates the need for this processing.

5. Rainwater is the eco-friendly option to keep composts moist. Adding tap water to your compost doesn’t fit this sustainability practice; you’ll want to use rainwater instead.

6. You’ll help control moisture levels

around the foundations of your home.

Collecting rainwater before it hits ground levels will help to prevent flooding, damp, and mold.

7. You can reduce your water bill. Garden and lawn watering accounts for 40 percent of residential water use during the summer, according to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. Thanks

to a rain barrel’s water catch, the typical gardener can save 1,300 gallons of water during the growing season.

8. You’ll be an inspiring example of environmental stewardship. And we thank you for it!

My Kind Of Mexico

Lola’s House By: Ruth Olstrom

My first journal entry was Tuesday, March 6, 2018 at 9:20 a. m. “Lola is in her pajamas watering in the small front yard, I am drinking hot chocolate at the bar counter of the kitchen, perched on a metal stool. Doves are cooing; Dulce still sleeps. I’ve been sleeping on a mattress on the tiled floor of the living room, surrounded by an entertainment center on one wall, a large couch opposite it and a loveseat and big chair enclosing the other two ends. My suitcase is at the foot of the mattress. The two sofas and chair are covered with ugly furniture covers of shiny orange cheaplooking fabric. Underneath is ‘leather, very nice furniture, ’ Dulce told me yesterday.” I remember thinking cynically at the time, “We’ll never see the leather furniture in our lifetime. ” One gift I packed in my suitcase for Lola was a brightly-colored cotton apron from Macy’s. When I gave it to Lola, my heart sank as I watched her carefully fold it the way it came and place it on the kitchen counter. “Tell Lola to use the apron, ” I said later to Dulce, without much hope.

From the journal: “When we arrived here Sunday night, about 1:00 a. m., Dulce showed me her bedroom and said with a flourish, ‘This will be your room! ’ She got a mattress, sheets and a blanket and put it on the floor of ‘la sala, ’ the living room. ‘Where are you sleeping? ’ I asked. Dulce pointed to the living room.

‘Wait a minute, ’ I said. I tried Dulce’s bed, then the mattress on the floor, and insisted I sleep in the living room. Now I call it my nest, ‘mi nido. ’ The mattress stayed down all day yesterday, but today Lola moved it on top of her and Felipe’s bed in their bedroom.

This house, which Lola bought with the money she made working in Estes Park, is much smaller than the other one I stayed in fourteen years ago, where Lola and Felipe’s youngest son Ruben and his family now live. The walls of the house are concrete covered with stucco and houses are connected on the sides, with windows front and back. You come through the front door into the living room and walk along the back of the sofa to the dining room at the rear of the house. To the left of the dining room is a kitchen, with deep blue Formica countertops and new white cupboards, also chosen and paid for by Lola.

Opposite the back of the sofa in the living room is a small hallway, with Dulce’s bedroom to the left and then Lola and Felipe’s bedroom. At the end of the hall is a small bathroom with a raised ceiling and high window. To the right of the bathroom is a locked door that leads to a partly open-air room with clothes lines, a Mexican brand washing machine and deep laundry sink. Stacked in the laundry room are boxes and boxes of wine, tequila and whiskey for Dulce’s wedding reception.

The small backyard, enclosed on three sides by high concrete walls, has two palm trees and an orange tree loaded with oranges, some of which have dropped to the dirt ground. Dulce told me the oranges on the tree are not sweet, more like lemons than oranges.

In the front of the house, Felipe parks his blue van on terra-cotta tile, with the van’s nose right up to the windows of the living room. A high white stucco wall and black iron gates that swing outward protect Lola’s house from the street. ” Next week: The Streets of Salamanca

Financial Focus Don’t Let Your Investments Go On “Vacation” Summer is here – and so is vacation season. Americans spend a lot on their summer getaways – more than $100 billion in 2017 alone, as reported in Travel and Leisure magazine. When you hit the road, you will enjoy getting away from your regular tasks, but there's one part of your life that should never take a break – your investments.

To keep your investments working consistently and efficiently for you, consider these suggestions: • Match the right investment with the right “job. ” You hire an electrician to install a light fixture, you employ a plumber to clear a clogged drain, and you would not expect either one to work on the other's project. In a way, this view of a division of labor is similar to how you might look at different investments.

In general, you purchase stocks with the hope of achieving the growth necessary to help you meet long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement. On the other hand, when you purchase certain fixed-rate investments such as certificates of deposit (CDs) or money market accounts, you know they won't provide as much growth potential, but are available to fund a short-term goal – such as a dream vacation.

• Evaluate investments’ performance relative to your goals. Some people think the only way to evaluate their investments’ performance is to track them against a well-known market index, such as the S&P 500. However, using an index as a measuring stick has some drawbacks, one of which is the lack of a personal connection to your situation. Look at it this way: In many types of organizations, you typically go through performance reviews, where your work is assessed in terms of how well it helped you move toward your goals – and you can

follow the same process with your investments. Specifically, you can measure their performance by how effective they are in helping you move toward your financial objectives. For example, if you need your portfolio to provide you with a certain rate of return to meet specific retirement goals at a designated age, but you find that you are not currently on track toward meeting these goals, you may need to adjust your investment mix to potentially provide you with a higher return. Be aware, though, that seeking higher return potential will likely mean taking on more risk. You may want to consult with a financial professional to make sure you find a risk/reward ratio suitable for your goals and risk tolerance.

• Look for hard-working investments.

Some investments work especially hard.

Some stocks, or investments containing stocks, pay dividends. Instead of taking the dividends, you can choose to reinvest them, purchasing even more shares – and increased share ownership is one key to helping build financial resources for the long term. Dividend reinvestment is typically automatic, so once you have chosen this option, there's really no extra work on your part. (Keep in mind, though, that companies are not obligated to pay dividends, and they can be reduced or eliminated at any time.)

In the investing arena, as in many endeavors, hard work can be rewarding.

So look for opportunities to keep your investments gainfully employed throughout your life.

Summer Reading: Final Month Is The Best Yet By: Cheryl Homan-Wendell, Program & Outreach Librarian

Summer’s Solstice was only one week ago. But the Library’s Summer Reading Program has been rocking our world for a full month. All ages are taking part, from newborn babies to octogenarians.

There’s still time for you to join this happy chorus.

Each year, the Summer Reading Program celebrates literacy through reading, inspired by a unique theme. This year it’s all about music: Libraries Rock!

Over 50 local elementary and middle school students are already hitting high notes by reading for fun prizes during summer break. We’ve given out over 150 reading prizes in the first month. We’re excited to see that number continue growing.

Adults are invited to get in the reading rhythm by completing ten simple “reading challenges” by July 27. That gets you into a drawing for awesome prizes. Two lucky winners will receive 2 complimentary tickets to an Estes Park signature event of your choice, such as (drumroll, please) Jazz Fest, the Chocolate & Wine Festival, or Whiskey Warm-Up. “How do I sign up,” you ask? Just stop by the Library for a reading log—for your age, and for the whole family. Kids’ prize times are listed on the logs; adults can redeem their card for prizes anytime. Prizes will put a spring in your step: Google viewers for kids, free books for teens, harmonicas for adults, and much more!

In harmony with this year’s Summer Reading Program, the library debuted new Discovery Kits that soared off our

shelves like chart-topping music hits.

These wildly-popular new kits include: five ukuleles, pat bells, and a Tibetan singing bowl. Stop by our service desk and we’ll happily place you on the wait list to borrow one of these fun instruments—with all you need to teach yourself a new skill.

Keeping that same beat, we’ve been offering several beginning music classes.

Our first two Beginning Ukulele classes filled up so fast that we decided to offer two more! We’d love to see you on July 24, at 9:30 a.m. or 5 p.m., to learn basic chords. You’ll be strumming songs before the hour is up! Register at estesvalleylibrary.org.

On July 12, we’re going to ask, Do you know Bow? Specifically, do you know Diddley Bow? It’s a fine handmade piece of stringed musical instrumentation— all crafted from recycled materials. Register at estesvalleylibrary.org to create yours at this Makerspace workshop.

All this great crafting and learning will culminate in the library’s All-Ages Music Jam with Nancy Bell on July 31. Join us as we make some wonderful music together—all ages, all abilities. Bring an instrument you created at one of our programs, or bring something from home. We’ll also have plenty of percussion instruments available to borrow.

Thank you, Library Friends & Foundation, for sponsoring Summer Reading Programs in 2018.

Summer always goes by too fast. Don’t let it go by without visiting the library for some great reading, some free swag, and a hometown symphony with a seat saved for you.

Any Junior golfer (aged 9 through 17) is free – no entry fee. “We encourage all juniors to enter the tournament this year, ” stated Nan Ryan, Tournament Organizer. “They will receive the same benefits as those paying an entry fee. ” Entry fee is $20 for passholders and $35 for non-passholders, and includes 9 holes of golf, lunch provided by tournament sponsor The Dunraven Inn, prizes for winning teams in five divisions (Mens, Womens, Mixed, Junior and AllJunior) and for special events, and a special gift for each player.

Betty’s strengths in English-Journalism landed her a job as a news reporter for the Beloit Newspaper while she was in high school. Betty was an avid swimmer and a lifeguard.

Education was always very important to Betty and she went on to receive her BA degree in English and Education from Washburn University in Topeka Kansas. She was a proud member of the Delta Gama Sorority and was the Secretary for the Dean of Woman. In 1976 she obtained her MA degree in Library Media from Colorado University in Boulder Colorado. While working on her MA degree Betty was teaching school full time and taking care of her two kids, Anne and Mark, as a single parent. Her kids were her world; what a blessing to have her as a mother.

Betty loved teaching and her students loved her. She taught 25 years with the St Vrain Valley School District. Betty taught at Spangler Elementary, Lyons Elementary and Northridge Elemen-

tary, with most of her teaching career spent in Lyons, Colorado. Prior to teaching in the Longmont, Lyons area she taught two years in Kansas, seven years in the Denver, Lakewood and Aurora schools in Colorado. Before going to Longmont she set up libraries for the Topeka Public Schools. She was a member of the NEA, CEA and the SVVEA educational associations.

In addition to Betty Adams extensive teaching career, she helped set up offices in Denver for an international company, Combustion Engineering.

She obtained a Colorado securities license and a Colorado real estate license. She started selling real estate with the Pratt Agency in Longmont and was awarded with having the most listings shortly after starting, all while teaching full time and raising her two children. She also sold real estate for Better Homes and Gardens in Estes Park years later.

Betty retired the summer of 1995 and continued to enjoy her condo which sat on Fall River in Estes Park.

Remaining very active and busy, she became the president of the Retired Teachers Association. She enjoyed helping her grandchildren, Garry and Eric with their homework, taking them to ride go-carts, shopping at the Ore Cart rock shop, baking pancakes with blueberry syrup, chocolate chip cookies and spending time with family. She enjoyed mentoring a young girl, Dominique, who she would go roller skating, swimming and hiking with. She belonged to the YMCA and the Estes Park Athletic Club and remained an avid swimmer. She enjoyed a Hawaiian cruise with her sister Nadine after her retirement and had plans to do more traveling. She was able to enjoy two and a half years of her retirement before her life would drastically change due to unforeseen events after a mild heart attack Christmas Day 1997. Betty was lovingly cared for by her daughter Anne and her two grandsons Garry and Eric for the last twenty years of her life.

Betty was preceded in death by her

son Mark Adams and his wife Cathy Adams, her parents Jess Adams and Augusta Adams, her sister Nadine Reiter and brother-in-law Max Reiter.

Left to celebrate her life is her daughter Anne Cooper, her two grandsons Garry Cooper and Eric Cooper, her great granddaughter, Aurora Cooper of Loveland Colorado, her brother Jack Adams and his wife Dona Adams of Kansas City Missouri and many other relatives and friends.

We will miss my mom dearly! She truly was an amazing, strong and elegant woman who is an inspiration to us all!

Our love for her and all the wonderful

memories will live on forever in our hearts and in our minds. Until we meet again we truly are blessed to have her as our guardian angel!

A Celebration of Betty’s Life will be held on Saturday, July 7, 2018 at 12:00 p.m. (noon). The celebration will be held at the Ponder Chapel located at the YMCA of the Rockies, 2515 Tunnel Road Estes Park, CO 80511. There will be a lunch reception next door at the Eagle Cliff Lodge following the service. Burial will be in the Estes Valley Memorial Gardens next to her son Mark Adams and his wife Cathy Adams at a later date.
