Fire Restrictions On The Arapaho And Roosevelt National Forests Stage 1 Fire Restrictions have expanded on the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests to include all National Forest System lands on the Boulder, Canyon Lakes, Clear Creek and Sulphur ranger districts. The Forest Service works closely with counties, monitors conditions as they change and continually evaluates with cooperators the need for restrictions.

Stage 1 fire restrictions limit where and what type of activities and fires visitors may have.

The current restrictions remain in place until they are rescinded. Within the fire restriction area on National Forest System land on the Boulder, Canyon Lakes, Clear Creek and Sulphur ranger districts within Boulder, Gilpin, Clear Creek, Grand, Jefferson, Larimer and Park counties forest visitors may not: · Build or maintain a fire or use charcoal, coal, or wood stoves, except in permanent fire pits or fire grates within a developed recreation site (e. g., campgrounds where fees are charged). · Smoke, except in an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site, or while in an area at least three feet in diameter cleared of all flammable materials. · Use any internal or external combustion engine (including chainsaws) without a spark arresting device properly working and a chemical pressurized fire extinguisher and a round point shovel. · Weld or operate acetylene or other

Additionally the Stage 1 Fire restrictions for National Forest System land on the Boulder, Canyon Lakes and Clear Creek ranger districts within Boulder, Clear Creek and Gilpin counties prohibit the : · Discharge of a firearm unless in possession of a valid Colorado hunting license and lawfully involved in hunting and harvesting game.

Violation of Stage 1 fire restrictions could result in a maximum fine of $5,000 for an individual or $10,000 for an organization, or imprisonment for more than six months, or both. If responsible for causing a wildfire, one could be held accountable for suppression costs of that fire.

Estes Park Medical Center Launches Re-Brand Including Name Change

“Estes Park Health” continues tradition of excellent, compassionate care from local professionals in an era of impersonal managed care Estes Park Medical Center, the only communityfirst provider in Estes Park that offers a spectrum of health services, announced today a full rebranding including a name change to “Estes Park Health,” new visual identity and website, www.eph.org.

“Providing excellent, compassionate care to the Estes Park Valley is our privilege,” states Larry Leaming, Chief Executive Officer of the newly dubbed Estes Park Health. “Our mission remains the same. Since 1975, when we began to serve this vibrant community, we've evolved and so has the health care landscape. That's why our name and identity are evolving to communicate a cohesive healthcare organization with a united visual message.”

The new name reinforces the medical center’s commitment to the foundation of their existence—health. The gold, green and blue in the new logo echo the hues of Estes Park Health’s vibrant mountain home.

“The re-branding isn’t just change for the sake of change, but to better reflect who we are, our services, and our pride in our independence and high-quality care. It conveys the full depth and breadth of our services under a single brand. We’re more than a hospital now,” continues Leaming. “The name ‘Estes

Park Health’ better defines who we are.

It reflects our mission to help our patients heal and achieve total well-being.

It sets us up for the future and helps us compete and maintain our independence.”

Since its creation by the city of Estes Park in 1975 as the Elizabeth Knutsson Memorial Hospital, Estes Park Health has grown to encompass comprehensive services from pediatrics to geriatrics. In 43 years of committed care, Estes Park Health’s patient satisfaction scores have come to reflect a high level of competency and patient satisfaction. The re-branding coincides with a strategic path to sustainable growth, advanced excellence and competitive competencies while reinforcing a forwardthinking vision that will act as a campaign banner for years to come.

“Serving this community’s diverse population of residents and visitors while demonstrating an unwavering work ethic that meets every standard of excellence will continue to be Estes Park Health’s central goal,” states Leaming.

“We recognize a critical value in our local medical center, a need for quality care close to home, and a convenient, one-stop facility that provides integrated healthcare.”

Estes Park Health contracted with Peri Marketing & Public Relations to complete the re-branding process.

To Get To Estes Via 36, Drive Through Pinewood Springs There is a new flashing sign along Highway 36 in Pinewood Springs that says, “Estes ParkContinue Straight Ahead, Apple Map Wrong.”

We recently learned that the Tom Tom and Apple iPhone navigation apps are directing people headed to Estes Park through three neighborhood dirt roads to avoid a nonexistent detour. The maps say the highway is closed for a small section. This new sign helps to alert drivers that they

don’t need to take the detour, just keep driving straight on Highway 36 through Pinewood Springs to get to Estes Park.

“You don’t have any tattoos, do you? ” My dad asked with nonchalant concern as we took an evening walk around the neighborhood.

“Not that you can see, anyway,” I answered.

Gotta keep him guessing at his advanced age of 89.

This scene comes to mind after reading Dan the Banjo Man’s comments regarding last week’s column about the personal preferences in lamp choices, summarized thus: one person’s trash is another’s treasure. Here is Dan’s response: “A lot of this discussion could also be applied to people's wallpaper. I watch some of those ‘home-shows’ on TV where they track a couple looking for a ‘new’ home.

The couple seems to always want a different style and that is part of the attraction of these shows: to see how the real estate person finds houses to show them and then how the couple reacts. I have never seen one of these shows where they go in and see wallpaper and say, ‘Oh that is really nice.’ One hundred percent of the time they say, ‘Oh my! That is ugly wallpaper.’

“Now as a follow-up to that, I will draw a comparison to something that I have never mentioned to anyone…body wallpaper.

“Why do people put wallpaper on their arms, legs, necks? This is called tattoo art but I simply call it wallpaper. I cannot understand it. I saw some young girls today at the farmers market who had ugly wallpaper on their legs and arms. I might understand if this ‘art’ could easily be removed but it cannot. Do these people like graffiti? I see some graffiti that is quite well done, but on their bodies? ” Obviously Dan is not of the tattoo generation. Although he is young at heart, proven by the act of balancing a banjo on his nose, he shows his age when he discusses body embroidery. Indeed, I can hear him now: “What next, purple hair? ” (He may think his opinion is shared by everyone collecting Social Security, but it is not.

Former Estesian Nancy Hause gave herself the gift of a tattoo on her wrist for her 80th birthday.)

Tattoos have gone from being purported evidence of a sailor having too much to drink (giving a whole new meaning to the term “decorated soldier,”) to a copyrightable art form.

Where once tattoos were taboo, they are now a popular mode of self-expression for all ages. And genders. In 2012, tattooed women outnumbered men 23 percent to 19 percent. In fact, tattoos have become so accepted that in 2013 Miss Kansas was the first Miss America contestant to exhibit tattoos during the swimsuit competition. And get this: a few years ago, when a guy in London had a portrait of his late father engraved on his body, a small portion of his father’s ashes was mixed into the ink.

Tattooing is not new; the practice goes back to the beginning of human existence. Over thousands of years the art form has served a variety of cultural purposes: to release sacred life forces, to increase virility and fertility, to create a spiritual connection with deceased loved ones, to show social status, to brand slaves and criminals (not something any human should be proud of), as clan markings to identify friend from foe during battle, to help spouses find each other again in the afterworld, as a rite of passage, as magic love charms, to ensure long-term physical health, and to bring luck.

Those of us who prefer the look of an unaltered human body must acknowledge that today, tattoos are an accepted form of self-expression. However, neither Dan nor I will ever have ink injected into our skin to express ourselves.

It’s just too hard to wash off.

Kane Residence Receives “Neighborhood Bright Spot” Award

The Estes Park in Bloom committee presented the first "Neighborhood Bright Spot"award to Bruce and Candy Kane June 29.

The committee presented the Kanes a hand-blown glass garden ornament made by Jerry Patterson at Patterson Glassworks Studio & Gallery, as well as a traveling sign to be displayed on their property. The Kane residence is located on the corner of Fish Creek Road and Whispering Pines Drive. The flood of September, 2013 destroyed a large portion of their property, undercutting the home's foundation and all of the landscaping. After 29 loads of fill and a large amount of top soil brought in by Bruce, the property has been transformed into a beautiful terraced garden. Bruce's handmade wood work, unique gateway entrance into the garden, and custom fencing add to the charm of the space.

Bruce enjoys the work and the space he has created for both him and Candy to enjoy. To nominate a residence for the "Neighborhood Bright Spot" award, contact Keri Kelly at 970-577-3782 or kkelly@estes.org.

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, an update on efforts by the Colorado Democrats, plus voter outreach efforts and events leading up to the November 6 General Election. We will also discuss an analysis of voting levels from the Primary that shows some hopeful trends!

Voting in this 2018 mid-term election is especially important for several reasons, including redistricting and maintaining your active voting status. First, State office holders and legislators

Estes Park Gun & Archery Club By: 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.

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.

elected in 2018 will be influential in Colorado redistricting efforts. This will be based on the 2020 census and the possible eighth Congressional District Colorado may gain due to population growth. In addition, there are redistricting ballot proposals on the November 2018 ballot for voters to decide.

Second, a recent Supreme Court decision allowed state voter purges. Even though this decision was not directly tied to Colorado, we all should be concerned about maintaining our active voter status so we are not denied access to the ballot box.

Please plan to attend our meeting to discuss the 2018 candidates and ballot issues for the November election.

Precinct Committee Persons, County and State delegates, plus volunteers should plan to attend, as well as other Democrats and Unaffiliated voters interested in working with the Democrats in the 2018 elections. If you cannot arrive by 5:00 pm, please come as soon as you can.

Please mark your calendars for our future meeting dates of August 7, September 11, and October 9, with similar times and same location. For more information, you may email Vicky Henry, Democratic PCP Coordinator, at DemsVHenry@yahoo.com.

ACKNOWLEDGED ANY ‘HUGS FROM GOD’ LATELY? Karen Bullock’s story inspires me. Karen’s husband had become a victim of Hodgkin’s disease while in Vietnam. Later he developed heart trouble. He had to have bypass surgery and finally a transplant. His health problems had become a financial, emotional and physical burden on the family. A so-called friend advised Karen to leave him and get on with her life. Karen shot back, “The difference between you and me is that I know life is a terminal disease!” Each day is precious to Karen and her husband. They don’t take anything for granted. They accept each day as a loving gift from God. They always kiss goodbye; they always kiss hello! Because, as Karen says, “We never know when it might be the last one!” She says they’re careful not to let little tragedies sidetrack them, and try to live each day to the fullest. Karen wrote the following essay, entitled ‘Hugs from God’. Her words are truly worth considering during this Fourth of July week.

“I live for them: those small, simple, unexpected events that give me a finer vision of this land and of myself. I collect them and hide them within the secret places of myself. They are moments of personal renewal and strength. And as I drift through these memories pressed in the pages of my soul, I can recall…The feel of bare feet on sweet, summer grass that changes into a soft, thick pallet of moss; The shock of a spring-fed creek, mud oozing between my toes, and bottom creatures tickling my feet; The startling beauty of a golden thread of sunlight that stitches raindepleted thunder clouds to bruised, pink dawn sky; The smell of crisp autumn mornings while sitting beneath a cottonwood and bathing in a shower of brightly colored leaves with each fresh, chilling breeze; The joyous yodeling of a chorus of coyotes across the prairie at early dusk; The sight of a hesitant doe as it cautiously tiptoes across a dusty road and bounds over a fence with less effort than it takes me to skip rope; The sharp, crisp odor of ozone generated by a lightningfilled sky; The persistent pleading of parent kingbirds as they teach a hesitant fledgling to fly; The red splash of sumac mingled with the brilliant golden yellow ragweed in an abandoned field; The musty smell of decayed leaves on the forest floor; The stark silhouette of a great horned-owl as it roosts in the bare branches of a tree; The cold, sweet taste of a frost-ripened persimmon picked straight from the tree on a crisp, fall morning; The sharp, well-defined, black ‘V’ of geese flying against the backdrop of a reddened sky; The sight of fog tendrils winding around green gold heads of wheat on a rainy, still morning; The captivating sight of sparkling, white diamond stars on a black velvet sky; And the sharp crunch of ice-covered grass on a cold winter’s day.

These small adventures catch in my throat as the earth reaches out to grab me in a giant, tight embrace holds still for that split moment when I know this creation—this space was designed especially for me. I call them ‘Hugs from God’.” (Karen Bullock) I can just hear someone say, “I’ve never seen or noticed many…any…of those things!”

And the response is, “Of course you haven’t.” Like all too many people in our nation, with the negative media articles, the violent acts of a few evil people, the protests that seem to ‘dog the trail’ of every action and decision, it’s so easy not to appreciate the great things we have in our lives and in our nation. I will be in Canada speaking to a bunch of God’s people next week. They will be people who feel the ‘hugs from God’, even though their nation’s money is valued at 3/4 of ours and they lack some benefits we enjoy. I will be inspired by them while trying to inspire them, but when I cross the border to the U.S. I will be rejoicing that ‘this is my own, my native land’, and revel even more in God’s ‘hugs’.

YMCA Of The Rockies Offers Two Fall Gap Programs

YMCA of the Rockies’ ELEVATE gap program is geared toward 18-24 year-olds and combines meaningful community service with engaging outdoor activities in Rocky Mountain National Park.

YMCA of the Rockies Estes Park Center will offer two gap programs this fall designed to provide young adults with valuable employment opportunities while also exposing participants to meaningful trainings and social experiences.

Elevate (Aug. 20-Dec. 14), is geared to 18-24 year-olds and combines meaningful community service with engaging outdoor activities in Rocky Mountain National Park. Additionally, there will be regular workshops on a variety of topics (resume-writing, time management, auto maintenance, etc.) that will help prepare participants for independent living.

Thrive (Sept. 3-Dec. 20) is our newest program and is aimed at 18-22 year-olds with a desire for self-discovery. The curriculum will be based upon YMCA of the Rockies’ five core values: Caring, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility and Faith, and is geared to assist participants in developing purpose and clarifying values.

Both programs include paid, rotational work experiences in our service depart-

ments and will provide participants with resume-building work experience and an understanding of the hospitality industry. The many recreational and social activities at the Estes Park Center will be available to our gap program participants. After the successful completion of one of our gap programs, participants may elect to stay on as a seasonal employee at the Y. According to Estes Park Center Director, Dave DeLuca, “These programs are a wonderful opportunity for a young adult who wants a supportive community and the chance to figure out what comes next in his or her life.”

The YMCA’s gap programs each have a $500 program fee which can be paid through payroll deduction over the course of the experience. This fee covers the cost of training materials and excursion For more information on the Estes Park Center’s gap programs, please WorkInTheRockies.org or call (970) 586-3341, ext. 1071.

Rooftop Rodeo Kicks Off Thursday, July 5 The Rooftop Rodeo, where the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains and the All-American sport of rodeo come together. Located at the Stanley Park Fairgrounds the rodeo arena is surrounded by world class views in every direction. As the sun sets over the Continental Divide, your attention is drawn to one of the great traditions of the American west...rodeo! It's a show you don't want to miss.

The award-winning Rooftop Rodeo, Thurs. July 5-Monday, July 10 is celebrating it's 91st year of boot-stompin', horse-kickin', bull-buckin' cowboy fun, is the highlight of the summer rodeo season in beautiful Estes Park, Colorado!

The Rooftop Rodeo won the PRCA’s Small Rodeo of the Year five times, has been nominated as one of its Top 5 Medium Rodeos in each of the last five years, and won the 2014 PRCA Mountain States Circuit Medium Rodeo of the Year along with its 2015 Most Improved Rodeo of the Year.

Make sure to see the ever-popular Rooftop Rodeo Parade this Friday, July 6th at 10:30 a.m. in downtown Estes Park.

With over 60 entries including bands, horseback riders, draft hitches, floats, unique automobiles, rodeo royalty, clubs, organizations, traveling bands, trick riders, clowns and more this parade is exciting to watch as the colorful entourage makes its way along Elkhorn Avenue to the Stanley Park Fairgrounds.

Each night at the Rooftop Rodeo, Thursday-Monday, guests will experience six different Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) events

and Women's Professional Barrel Racing, featuring some of America's best cowboys and cowgirls. Bareback bronc riding, team roping, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, barrel racing and the always popular bull riding are the standard-fare events each and every night of rodeo week. For the younger cowboys and cowgirls, the Rooftop Rodeo also features a crowdpleasing mutton bustin' competition at every rodeo performance and on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, a "cash catch" for cowpokes 8-12 years of age.

Another fun event at the rodeo is the Behind the Chutes tour. This is your chance to venture out to where all the action happens. You'll meet the stock contractor, contestants and arena crew who will explain the sport of rodeo. Get an up close and personal tour of the arena equipment, participate in some mock events, see the livestock and meet the clowns. It's a great time to ask questions and to learn more about the sport of rodeo from the pros themselves.

Tours are available at 5:00 p.m. Tickets for the rodeo and Behind the Chutes tours can be purchased online prior to rodeo week on the Rooftop Rodeo Tickets page at Rooftoprodeo.com or at the gate, prior to the performances.

Don’t miss the midway, before or during the show, complete with food and rodeo related vendors.

The Rooftop Rodeo is known for its small town western hospitality and family-friendly atmosphere. Come visit and join in the fun - it's a rodeo you don't want to miss!

WPRA Honors Rooftop Rodeo Estes Park’s celebrated event wins its sixth Rodeo of the Year honor When officials decided to make a change in the footing at the Granny May Arena inside the Estes Park Fairgrounds, they were just trying to make things better.

It did, and the barrel racers in the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association said so in 2017. Rooftop Rodeo was named the WPRA’s Medium Committee of the Year, thanks in large part to the money, time and heavy lifting by all involved to create the better footing for the arena. It will continue to serve the competitors at this year’s rodeo, set for 7 p.m.

Thursday, July 5-Tuesday, July 10.

“When a committee goes above and beyond for those cowboys, they deserve the awards,” said Taci Bettis, the reigning Rooftop Rodeo champion barrel racer from Round Top, Texas. “When you put in that much effort, that’s what you get.”

Bettis hit the ProRodeo trail hard for the first time a season ago. It was her first visit to Estes Park, and she made the most of it. Not only did she win the championship, but her 17.36-second run set a new standard for the annual rodeo.

“That was part of those weeks in July when I set everything off,” said Bettis, the 2017 WPRA Rookie of the Year and a top 5 barrel racer this season. “I’d never been at that arena before, so to go in and

break the record was special.”

Bettis was one of six Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualifiers to place in barrel racing at last year’s Rooftop Rodeo. That’s a telling tale about why the WPRA ladies selected Estes Park’s rodeo as one of the best in the game. It was the sixth time in the event’s 92 years that it has been named Rodeo of the Year; it was a five-time winner in the Professional Rodeo Association.

“We put in a lot of work into the arena between the 2016 and 2017 rodeos,” said Rob Hinkle, the community services director for the town of Estes Park. “The footing was just not good for the barrel racers, so we put $125,000 into new footing.

“It’s already paid off, which was great to show off that improvement in one year. It meant a lot to the rodeo and to the town.”

Besides the award, there have been other benefits. Hinkle said the arena has gained a few new horse shows because of the better footing.

“Everybody’s taken great pride in it,” he said. “It was a lot of work. The members of the rodeo committee had to take out all the chutes and all the fencing, then put it all back in.

“By getting awards like that, it provides a lot of energy in that committee to keep going forward.”

There was a tremendous turnout with 145 plates of pancakes, eggs, sausage and fruit served to Estes Valley residents.

Geneaological Society Meeting The Estes Park Genealogical Society will meet Thursday, July 12 at 4:00 p.m. in the Hondius Room of the Estes Valley Library. Stacey Rehbein of Fort Collins will present “Diggin’ DNA.” Stacey will walk us through examples of the basics involved in matching our DNA with others and using a shared centimorgan chart, family trees, and genealogy. She also loves to share her experiences of how she found biological parents for several of her clients. There is even one instance where a match led her aunt to a surprise alternate relationship with her own husband.

Stacey Wallace Rehbein is a Colorado native, lives in Fort Collins and is the Immediate Past President of the Larimer

County Genealogical Society (LCGS), the current President and Historian of the Clear Creek Canyon Historical Society and owner of TheFamilydig.com.

Library Collections: The Numbers Tell A Story A frequent question is, “Who chooses the books and materials that go into the library collection? ” The real answer is: “You do! ” Of course, not every title we acquire is based on a specific recommendation.

But we consciously align our collection based on the subjects, genres, formats, media, and age-levels that are reflected in what our patrons ask for and check out. Every time you borrow an item, it’s a vote for that type of item—whether a print book, audiobook, DVD, or digital download.

And we certainly do welcome suggestions for specific titles. Of the thousands of titles added in 2017, several hundred were based on patron requests. Someone might ask us if we have a new book they just heard about.

Then, many will say, “Don’t go to all the trouble of getting it just for me. ” Well, chances are, if you’re interested in reading it, others are too. So please keep giving us your suggestions—in person or through the “We’ll Get it For You” link at estesvalleylibrary.org.

Sure, some requests are for out-ofprint items or very niche interest areas.

For those, we can happily borrow materials from other Colorado libraries. We processed almost 6,000 Interlibrary Loan requests in 2017.

We monitor publishing trends, comb through book reviews, and strive for a balance of ideas. Yet I can’t stress enough how much we welcome and rely upon your recommendations.

We also track Hold Requests lists.

When we see items with a waiting list of more than four people, we order more copies, whatever the format. If we need it fast, I phone our friends at Mac-

donald Book Shop and we buy it local.

With library collections, the numbers always tell a fascinating story. Of the 41,000+ items in our physical collection, 20% are in adult fiction, 21% are in adult nonfiction, and 18% in audiovisual (audiobooks, DVDs, music CDs). Nearly a third of the collection is children’s materials.

Add to that the amazing 608,780 items in our digital collections, and you’ve got a world-class library collection at your fingertips.

You checked out 173,530 physical items in 2017. Children’s materials are 25% of that, confirming we’re real close with aligning inventory (28%) with demand (25.4%).

You checked out an additional 16,753 digital items in 2017, and that trend is growing rapidly. If you haven’t tried a digital format, check out the helpful instructions on our website, or join us for a Book-A-Librarian appointment.

We’re delighted to show you how it works. Thank you to the Library Friends & Foundation for supporting our popular digital collections.

What’s in the future? We’ll continue to cultivate our physical collection with new materials. Fear not—print books are here to stay.

We’ll continue to grow our digital collections with new opportunities to demonstrate how it works.

And watch for announcements of new ways we’ll be supporting local book clubs and celebrating book discussion in our community.

We are pleased to offer library collections that reflect your needs, interests, curiosities, and aspirations.

Mary And Barry Hannigan To Perform World Premiere At Old Gallery

Barry and Mary Hannigan

If you are a fan of classical music and appreciate contemporary classical compositions, you won’t want to miss a free concert featuring pianist Barry Hannigan and flutist Mary Hannigan at The Old Gallery in Allenspark on Saturday, July 22 from 4-6 p.m.

“We’re very excited to be premiering Nebbioso that was written for Barry by Philadelphia composer Larry Nelson,” said Mary Hannigan. We’ll also be performing Adagietto from Sonata For Flute and Piano by Estes Park composer Robert Charles Howard, who will be in attendance.

The program also includes Sonata in E Minor, BWV 1034 by J.S. Bach, Ballade in A Flat Major, Op. 47 by Frédéric Chopin and Suite, Op. 34, No. 1 by Charles Marie Widor.

Barry Hannigan was recently awarded Emeritus status at Bucknell University, where he retired as the Ellen P. Williams Professor of Music. He also received Bucknell University’s highest award for inspirational teaching. He made his New York debut in Carnegie Recital Hall in 1984 and has since received rave reviews in major cities across the United States.

He has performed in Russia, England, China, Ireland, Norway and New

Zealand. He is the recipient of many awards and prizes, including those from the Ford, Belin, Surdna, and Presser Foundations. He has also received a Solo Recitalist Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts; an award intended to recognize the nation’s outstanding recitalists.

Mary Hannigan is a member of the Harrisburg Symphony and recently retired from the faculty of Dickinson College, where she performed for many years with that college’s faculty wind quintet. She has also taught at Susquehanna University, Bucknell University, Wilkes University and Colorado College. A former faculty member of the Rocky Ridge Music Center in Colorado, she performed for the Music in the Mountains series for many years.

“We are thrilled to be performing at The Old Gallery, a renovated 1940s log structure with fabulous acoustics and a Steinway Grand piano,” said Barry Hannigan. “The Old Gallery is a great center for community and the arts in the Peak to Peak area, and we are happy to support their efforts by performing this benefit concert.” Admission is free, but donations to the non-profit are appreciated. Refreshments will be served.

The Old Gallery is located at 14863 Colorado Highway 7 in Allenspark, 20 minutes south of Estes Park.

Leonard Harry Potzler On Friday, June 29, 2018, Estes Park lost one of its nicest and most loving citizensLeonard Harry Potzler, resident and motel owner for more than 30 years. He passed away peacefully at PPLC after a long illness. He was 93 years old. Harry was a family man, wonderful father, bon vivant, adventurer, raconteur, world traveler and most importantly, a lover of people.

He was born in Washington, D.C.- 4th generation Washingtonian- on November 28, 1924 to Leonard Henry and Elsie Marcella Potzler.

He graduated from Roosevelt High School in D.C. in 1942, excelling in academics and was a Major in the Cadet Corps, with his own company-something like ROTC today. He participated in two inaugurations for President Roosevelt. Red Auerbach- the famous basketball coach was his drafting teacher and the basketball coach there as well. Harry had a scholarship to MIT and wanted to be an engineer, but, around this time, both of his parents passed suddenly and he was left to support his younger sister and grandmother. As WWII started, Harry im-

mediately went to the Marine recruiter, signed up and was accepted, but when he discovered he would only earn $22 a month-not enough to support them- his application was withdrawn-(his mother had known the recruiter). MIT was of course out. He then worked in various jobs to support them for 1-1/2 years.

Harry continued his support for his sister and grandmother through the war and beyond. Then to seamanship school and radio officer school for the U.S. Merchant Marines. The Merchant Marines had the most casualties after the Marines in WWII as he was on small "Liberty" ships with little armament, carrying supplies and troops, Navy and Marines to battle zones. Harry was in every theater in WWII. From the North Atlantic to the South Pacific, and all in between and involved in many of the campaigns including Iwo Jima. As a Radio Officer- Lt-Sr. Grade, he was allowed to go ashore in every non-battle port (they could not transmit in port) and had many adventures including a tiger hunt in India with one of the Nizam of Hyderabad's sons, a dinner that included dog in Amoy, China and water buffalo races with Aussies and natives along the Gold Coast of Africa.

During the war-1945- he met the woman who would change his life forever for the best. Her name was Lubalove in Russian. She was born in L.A., CA to poor Russian immigrant parents and was now called Betty. They met at a Latin Music Club in L.A. and it was love at first sight for both of them. They dated the next four nights. Then Harry shipped out to the South Pacific and Betty to San Francisco to work. Four

months later, Harry returned, found Betty in San Francisco and they were married three days later on April 2. The whirlwind courtship lasted 67 years.

Harry and Betty had two children, a daughter, Pam and a son Greg. Betty was a full time homemaker, but also involved in many community activities and charities. They donated profusely-especially in latter years to start the March of Dimes (Greg had polio as a child), but much to Disaster Relief in the U.S. and around the world. Harry was active in the YMCA Indian Guides and Boy Scouts as well as several fraternal organizations. He wasn't on the GI Bill, as the Merchant Marines were only recognized about 20 years ago-so MIT was out. He had many professions-market worker in D.C, door to door fruit peddler in East L.A., District Produce Supervisor with Giant Food in the D.C. area, Realtor, independent milk distributor in CA, motel owner in Franconia, NH and two in Estes Park (with Betty and Greg) With Betty, Greg and Pam, (some with friends and family) they visited 130 countries, all 50 states, every continent, sailed every ocean, mostly on their own, without tours. Harry, Betty and Greg have lived in L.A., Washington, D.C., New Hampshire, Hawaii, Europe and, of course, Estes Park.

Harry had friends all over the world, spoke German, and has driven on most

roads in Europe, and many around the world. He was an insatiable traveler, loved people, gourmet cook, handyman extraordinaire- a renaissance man who loved his family, friends, music, film, art, history, and life-Vivre pour Vivre-Live for Life! He instilled in his children the importance of workingbut to the end of enjoying the fruit of the labor. Favorite songs-"Faraway Places" and "La Vie en Rose," favorite author-Peter Mayle, favorite poem"The Road not Taken"-the one he followed.

Betty passed in June of 2012. They had 67 unbelievable years together.

Harry is survived by his sister, Betty, his son Greg, daughter Pamela Basich of Seal Beach, CA, three granddaughters, and five great grandchildren. He is listed on the new Veteran's Monument in Estes.

Harry is to be cremated and there will be a private service. The family requests a donation in Harry's name be made to the Quota Club P.O. Box 1273, Estes Park, CO 80517, an organization that helped us very much.

Please remember Harry as Shakespeare put it in a sonnet: “But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, all losses are restor'd and sorrows end.”

Tip a glass for Harry-Prosit! Sante!

Gambei! To life!

Jeff Van Devender To Perform At YMCA Of The Rockies

On Sunday, July 8, Jeff Van Devender will be the guest musician for the 10:00 a.m. worship in Hyde Chapel. He will also perform a concert at 7:00 p.m. in Hyde Chapel. The concert is free and open to the public.

A New Castle, Colorado musician, Jeff is a versatile pianist whose musical prowess has reached a global audience.

He has captivated listeners through three

decades of performances, recordings and published works. His music is often referred to as “a coffeehouse for your spirit.” His melodies can be described as a blending of classical, jazz and subtle rock, with a touch of soul.

Jeff is the Sunday pianist for services at the Methodist Church in Glenwood Springs and Episcopal Church in New Castle Colorado. He recently served as CMEA’s Elementary General Music State Chairman. He recently released two new recordings. One is a very popular Christmas collection, and the other is a hymn and folksong collection for piano.

To learn more about Jeff Van Devender and his music, visit his website at www. Jeff@JavaMusik.com This Sunday service and concert are a part of the Chapel Ministry’s 2018 Summer Worship Fest program. Learn more about the YMCA Chapel Ministry and 2018 Summer Worship Fest at tinyurl.com/y8rqgz5f
