Do you want more meaning in your life? Do you want to do something that is satisfying and of meaningful service to your community?

At Estes Valley Investment in Childhood Success (EVICS) we believe that communities make a positive difference for children and families when they come together around common values and provide resources that help children thrive and succeed. We believe that we all succeed when our children succeed.

And, we believe in that old African proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child.� Do you believe?

How do communities support children and families in a high-tech age where many kids don’t even know their neighbors? Where do they begin? Who is responsible? These are important questions for all communities, large and small. If you want to be a part of the solution, consider volunteering with EVICS. We have a job for you!

It is the people, not programs, in communities that make a positive difference for children and families. EVICS volunteers are the people behind the programs. Whether it is sitting on a policy Board, volunteering at a fundraiser, reading to a child, or rocking a baby for

Shannon Davis Named Interim CEO For Visit Estes Park Marketing Director Shannon Davis is assuming the role of Interim CEO for Visit Estes Park (VEP) after being selected by the organization’s Board of Directors.

Current Interim CEO Suzy Blackhurst, whose contract expires at the end of July, will remain with the organization as a consultant to help Davis transition into his new role and to manage finance and budget efforts while Davis leads the search for a new Finance Manager.

Shannon Davis “I’m super psyched,� says Davis, who has held senior roles at Backpacker and Climbing magazines as well as REI. “Our mission is to inspire and enable sustainable adventure in Colorado’s Original Playground, supporting a symbiotic relationship between guests, locals, and our natural resources so we can all enjoy Estes Park for generations to come. I’m happy to lead the charge with the awesome team at VEP.�

His vision for Visit Estes Park takes a strong content marketing approach. “We’ll turbocharge VEP’s digital, social, and print platforms to be a source of aspirational messaging, actionable advice and world-class storytelling, and manage this in-house. I want VEP to grow

into an engaging and authoritative adventure-planning hub that not only brings guests to Estes Park and introduces them to the outdoors and local services and culture, but also keeps Estes Park topof-mind after their visit.�

Blackhurst, who is retiring (again) after nearly 14 years with VEP, is pleased to be involved in the transition. “Shannon’s vision and energy has invigorated the staff and his content-based approach to marketing is thrilling – we are already seeing an increase in engagement across digital platforms since he started as Marketing Director in May. The Visit Estes Park Board of Directors has embraced its leadership role and everyone is working toward the same goals. This is truly an exciting and energizing time for Visit Estes Park,� she said.

Davis entered into a six-month contract on July 1, 2018, and a permanent CEO will be in place by January 31, 2019. Board Chair Sean Jurgens says that Davis will have the opportunity to pursue the permanent CEO role should he choose to do so.

Visit Estes Park's mission is to drive tourism and year-round economic growth through effective and efficient destination marketing. For more details about VEP go to VisitEstesPark.com.

a tired parent, it is the sum total of small actions by caring adults that improve children’s lives. Are you one of those adults?

Some may wonder, what kinds of struggles could Estes Park families possibly have? After all, we live in a beautiful small town, with clean mountain air, low crime rates, and space to run and play. What a great place for a kid to grow up! While this is true, children and families in Estes Park share common challenges with our urban neighbors, including those resulting from

mental health problems, substance abuse, isolation from extended family, stressed lifestyles, lack of access to services, and other special needs. The truth is that all families, regardless of income, need support from their communities in order to thrive in today’s society.

If you have the desire to make a lasting difference in our community, we will find the job that fits your skills! Call or contact us today: 970-586-3055 or office@evics.org. The EVICS Office is located at 600 S. St. Vrain Ave., Bella Fortuna (Suite 2) in the Aspenwood Building.

Search Efforts Continue For Missing Fort Collins Man Late Thursday July 5, park rangers were notified by Fort Collins Police that Brian Joseph Perri, 38, of Fort Collins, Colorado, had been reported as missing. Perri was last known in the Mount Meeker area of Rocky Mountain National Park. On June 30, Perri texted a friend a photograph of himself from the summit of Mount Meeker (13,911 feet). After rangers were notified of the missing man on July 5, six days after he was expected back, they located Perri’s car in the parking lot at the Sandbeach Lake Trailhead.

Perri did not provide details as to his exact route but was expected out on Saturday, June 30.

Perri’s destination was believed to be the summit of Mount Meeker.

This would be approximately 14 miles round trip from the location of his car. Again, his exact route was unknown.

Extensive search efforts have been underway since the evening of Thursday, July 5, and have encompassed significant sections of 22.5 square miles above tree line as well as forested areas. The majority of the search area is in rugged and remote terrain with loose rock, steep ridges, and exposed cliffs, on ridge lines and couloirs. The area has been searched by helicopters, ground searchers, dog teams, and UAS reconnaissance. A number of organizations have assisted Rocky Mountain National Park Search and Rescue members in the multi-day search and investigation. Unfortunately, to date, no clues have been found throughout this extensive search effort.

As of early Thursday morning, the search and investigation is ongoing.

Park rangers would like to hear from anyone who has been in the Mount Meeker area since Saturday, June 30.

Especially those who noticed abandoned gear or other clues. Please call (970) 5861204.

Estes Park Patriots For Peace To Meet July 18 Have you ever attended a funeral service for a veteran?

The casket flag is presented to survivors with great care and dignity, and each fold has a historical and patriotic meaning of its own. The Estes Park Patriots for Peace invite you to attend our upcoming meeting on Wednesday, July 18 from 5:30-7:00 p.m. in the Hondius Room at the Estes Valley Library where our featured speaker will be US Navy veteran Kendra Ryan, presenting a talk about the texts relating to and the meaning of each fold of the flag as it is properly done. Ms. Ryan is not only a veteran and business owner in our town, but also addresses issues of “resiliency” (especially for veterans) through her teaching

and work in yoga.

We are a trans-partisan, inclusive organization dedicated to “building a culture of peace at all levels of society.” This program is the second of a series dedicated to understanding and supporting veterans as valued and respected members of our community. Additionally, local musician Steve Kaplan will share a song he wrote specifically about a classmate who died in the Vietnam War. We hope you will join us for an evening of thoughtful conversation about respecting and honoring our veterans. Light refreshments will be served.

11th Annual Weed Roundup July 21st Noxious weeds are once again having a banner year, so keep removing and bagging these invaders. Removing and bagging flowers and seed heads will help curtail your weed population next year.

Time and persistence will give native plants a better chance!

The 11th Annual Weed Roundup will be held July 21st from 9:00 to noon located north of the Waste Management transfer station (across from Smokin’ Dave’s BBQ) at 666 Elm Road (follow the signs). Estes Land Stewardship Association (ELSA) volunteers will be on hand to answer weed questions and unload your bags.

Educational displays and information will be available. Bring in your weeds – no slash, pine needles, trash – in paper yard bags for free disposal. Please remove/shake off dirt from plant roots. Unauthorized drop-offs at this location are considered theft of services. Weeds and trash can be disposed of year-around at Waste Management for a fee. No bags of non-weed materials will be accepted at this event. Paper yard bags are available for purchase at local hardware stores.

The June 23rd Monitored Weed Dropoff was a great success-over 500 bags of weeds were collected! These events are being made possible with the support from Estes Land Stewardship Association, the Town of Estes Park, Larimer

County, Estes Valley Land Trust, and donations. Fourteen Very Unwanted Weeds in the Estes Valley weed booklets are available year around at the Estes Valley Library and in the summer at the Thursday Farmers Market Master Gardener’s booth. Estes Land Stewardship Association (ELSA) meets the first Thursday of the month at 9:30 a.m. in the George Hix Room at US Bank. For more information about ELSA contact elsa.weeds@gmail.com

What Is It? Where Is It? History Tidbits By: Chris Switzer

Once upon a time, the parking lot in front of the post office was at a lower level. There wasn’t a side-

walk along the river, nor the fence. Many layers of asphalt have been added throughout the years.

But, once upon a time....in the 1960s, before we were so “city-fied,” people would ride their horses into town. Yes, really. It was kind of fun. Shades of the “olden days.” I wish we had horse paths surrounding our town, so locals could still ride into town.

I can remember going to the post office and seeing a horse hitched to the metal ring in this photo. It’s located at the northeast corner of the parking lot, by the bridge at Rockwell Street, (behind utility boxes). This is part of our town’s history.

We were at our weekly hikemaster meeting, discussing the parking situation in the park, reviewing the visitor shuttle schedule, and asking if it is our place to say something to someone who is shortcutting the trail.

Just before we adjourned, Wendy raised her hand. She wanted to invite us all to her cabin next week for a potluck. She planned to fix KingRanchChickenCasserole and we were encouraged to sign up to bring salads or pies.

Pies! I love to make pies. While I contemplated whether I should make a fruit pie, a mud pie, or a cream pie, Wendy passed around a sign-up clipboard and repeated that she would make KingRanchChickenCasserole and we can bring the rest.

What did she say she was she going to serve? I couldn’t make it out. King something. She rattled off the name of the dish as if we’d all grown up eating it every week in the school cafeteria. But I didn’t buy the school lunches so I didn’t know about King-whatever casserole. Who knew what Wendy was talking about?

“Not I,” said the Nebraskan.

If I were from Texas, I’d have known what Wendy was planning to serve at our hikemaster potluck. It’s what is served at potluck dinners all over Texas: King.

Ranch. Chicken. Casserole.

Never heard of it.

“What?” the Texans in the group said.

“Of course you’ve heard of it! We grew up on it! ” they said. But I grew up on homemade macaroni and cheese made with real Velveeta. (None of that fake Velveeta for the Donohoes, by golly.)

A week later I took my coconut cream pie to Wendy’s, set it with the other pies and an assortment of green salads and when everyone got there, I eagerly scooped up a serving of King Ranch Chicken Casserole. It was creamy, tomatoey, and sort of Mexican-ish with lots of browned cheese on top.

I asked for the recipe, which is the right thing to do at a potluck.

All the Texans at the potluck knew about King Ranch Chicken Casserole because in Texas, it is served at every school lunchroom, potluck, funeral, church social and roadside diner in the state. The recipe varies from kitchen to kitchen but the basics are the same: cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, RoTel diced tomatoes, green chilies, bell peppers, onion, chicken, and tortillas on the bottom with melted cheese on top.

The recipe can be found in untold Junior League cookbooks and is in no way, shape or form associated with the King Ranch in Kingsville, TX, one of the largest ranches in the world. Founded in 1853 by Richard King, it consists of 825,000 acres, which is larger than the state of Rhode Island. (I wonder if they eat King Ranch Chicken Casserole in Rhode Island.) King Ranch was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1961, and is famous, but not because of the casserole named after it. The casse-

role is made with chicken—not beef like that raised on the ranch.

In the 1950s, housewives were drawn to the convenience of casseroles that called for easy, inexpensive ingredients—canned soup— and that’s how King Ranch Chicken Casserole originated. How it got its name remains a mystery.

Not from Texas? Want to give it a try?

Here is Wendy’s recipe, one of the many variations out there (each one claiming to be the original). Serve it at your next potluck and earn favor with every Texan you know.

King Ranch Chicken Casserole 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 white onion, diced 1 red bell pepper, diced 1 green bell pepper, diced 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup 1 (10 ounce) can RO-TEL diced tomatoes with green chile peppers 1 cup chicken broth 2 tablespoons sour cream 2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 teaspoon ancho chile powder 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chile powder 1 cooked chicken, torn into shreds or cut into chunks 8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese 10 corn tortillas, cut into quarters Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat.

Sauté onion, red bell pepper and green bell pepper in hot oil until warmed through, about 2 minutes.

Combine onion-pepper mixture, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, sour cream, cumin, ancho chile powder, oregano, and chipotle chile powder together in a large bowl and stir until sauce is well combined.

Spread a few tablespoons of the sauce in the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.

Spread half the chicken over the sauce.

Spread about half the sauce over the chicken and top with 1/3 the cheese.

Spread a layer of tortillas over the cheese.

Spread the remaining chicken over the tortillas and top with almost all of the remaining sauce, reserving 1/2 cup sauce.

Top with 1/3 the cheese, remaining tortillas, the reserved 1/2 cup sauce, and remaining 1/3 cheese.

Bake casserole in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 40 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to broil.

Broil the casserole until top is golden, 2 to 3 minutes more.

Invitation To The Annual “Burning Issues” Lecture Series At The YMCA Fake News, Space Exploration, Child Soldiers, President Putin, Nuclear Security, Global Hot Spots, and The U. S. Economy.

The public is invited to the 43rd Annual Robert M. Lawrence Burning Issues Lecture Series for 2018 conducted at the "Y", free of charge. The presentations will be every Monday at 7:30 p.m., July 16 - August 27, in the Hempel Auditorium. These lectures/discussions are delivered by professors and other highly experienced specialists in their fields. Several are lecturers in the Colorado State University (CSU) Osher Life-Long Learning Institute - a popular adult education program conducted in some 140 U. S. universities.

7/16: "Fake News, Alternative Facts and the First Amendment." Retired Emeritus Political Science Professor from CSU, Robert M. Lawrence, PhD, will kick off this series which have been held each summer since 1975 at YMCA of the Rockies. This U. S. Air Force veteran (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile and nuclear weapons specialist), and CSU Osher lecturer, will discuss the 1st Amendment and how it supports the Marketplace of Ideas---a strategic asset of the US---but also enables "Fake News" which misleads the public.

7/23: Professor Dan Ward, addressing "The Case for Continued U.S. Space Exploration," will focus on the space race. With a PhD in nuclear physics and extensive research in various geopolitical areas, he will discuss the short and long term benefits of creating the technology to compete in an all important race, and the geopolitical necessity of having the ability and will to forge ahead into the next great frontier. Dr. Ward has taught undergraduate physics and engineering at CSU, and currently is teaching geopolitics, history, and other topics in the CSU Osher Program. A U. S. Navy veteran, Dr. Ward volunteered and served in submarines.

7/30: “Child Soldiers,” by Professor Dyan Mazurana, PhD, Tufts University, who will discuss these children - who they are, why they are recruited, why they fight, and how they recover. Her research, analyses and recommended solutions are being used by the U. S. State Department, and United Nations. This Associate Research Professor, Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy; Senior Research Fellow, World Peace Foundation; and Co-Director Gender Analysis and Women's Leadership Program, will draw from her books and research to examine the current use of child soldiers in Afghanistan, Nigeria, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Somali and South Sudan, among others.

She’ll discuss what organizations are do-

ing to try and stop recruitment of children, and help those who escape.

8/6: "How Putin is Making Russia Great Again," will be presented by a retired U. S. Navy Captain, diesel submariner and intelligence officer who, since 1967 has focused on the USSR, and now Russia. He served as an attache living in Moscow and collecting intelligence during the Cold War. Estes Park resident "Dick" Life is a graduate of the Naval Academy, who earned an MA in Russian Area Studies from Georgetown, U, and graduated from the U. S. Army War College. A CSU Osher lecturer, he will discuss how Vladimir Putin became the Russian strongman, an adversary of the United States, and is returning Russia to prominence on the world stage. Highlights include new Russian weapons systems, propaganda, and Moscow's reaction to U. S. foreign policy in Ukraine, China, N. Korea, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and vs ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

8/13: "Nuclear Security" by retired nuclear submariner, U.S. Navy Commander, David Prawdzik. This Estes Park resident will address some of the topics and issues of current interest in the nuclear operations and safety areas, in which he has considerable personal experience.

His wife is an inspector. David will discuss topics such as North Korea, Iran, nuclear weapons storage, and research reactor safety. This is an excellent opportunity to learn about a subject in which not many Americans have experience, and should understand better in the 21st century.

June “Explore Our Store” Showcases Reliance Fire Museum & Rocky Mountain Transit

The June “Explore Our Store” took place on Wednesday, June 20 and featured Reliance Fire Museum and Rocky Mountain Transit. Representatives from the Visitor Center staff and Ambassadors, the Town of Estes Park, Estes Valley Partners for Commerce, Visit Estes Park, the Estes Park EDC, and local citizens enjoyed checking out each stop’s offerings and hearing presentations from the respective owners/managers.

Reliance Fire Museum is located at 460 Elm Road. Founder Doug Klink was on hand to welcome attendees and give a tour around the property. The Reliance Fire Museum is home to antique fire trucks in the process of being restored with a full service restoration shop right on the museum property. Many of the techniques used in the original construction of the older apparatus have been preserved, including gold leaf decoration and striping, spinning of metal pieces such as steamer crowns, and rebuilding of engine and pumps with leather seals and rubber valves. The museum’s 1901 Waterous Steam Pumper still pumps and many locals may remember that 1967 Snorkel that was called to the Park Theatre Mall fire in 2009. Make sure to mark your calendars for the Reliance Fire Museum Open House on Saturday, July 21st!

Visit their Facebook page www.facebook.com/Reliance-Fire-Mu-

The group also stopped at Rocky Mountain Transit Management, located at 830 Comanche Street, where General Manager Janice Crow was there to greet guests and show them around the facility. The group toured the shuttle buses, maintenance area, and offices. Rocky Mountain Transit supplies vehicles for both the Town of Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, and Janice shared some exciting news about four new 35-foot Eldorado EZ buses that will be delivered in August – one of which will go to the Town, and the other three to Rocky. Janice also announced a new app that riders can use to track times and location of the buses while on their routes. Rocky Mountain Transit Management can be reached at 970-5777477.

Thank you to Doug and Janice for participating in this month’s event! “Explore Our Store” typically takes place on the second Wednesday of each month, with the first store stop at 9 a.m. and the second at 9:30 a.m. All are welcome to attend!

As usual, I went to church Sunday morning and having not too much to do after that, I decided to clean my two refrigerators. I have an old one in the garage and a newer refrigerator in the kitchen. It is strange how a refrigerator can “hoard” things that you never realized you had. I found (and discarded) stuff that I am ashamed to admit was in those two refrigerators. My trash man on Monday is going to be really aggravated at how heavy my garbage bags will be.

I found cheeses that were molded, jars of jellies and jams with just “smidgins” left, one maraschino cherry in a jar, some deli ham that had seen better days...need I go on? Sunshine was right there trying to help or rather hoping to snatch some of those discarded items, but I managed to get them into the garbage can before she succeeded.

Now I did discover some things that I am all ready to use. I found a jar of pepperoncini and a perfectly good red onion, lettuce, tomatoes, carrots and Pecorino Romano cheese that I had bought to make an “Italian Garden” salad; so, I guess that is what I will have for supper. I have been busy eating up all the leftovers from the 4th of July, so a salad will be a pleasant change. I did not have a couple of things like the radicchio, but it will still be good.

“Copy Cat” Italian Garden Salad 1 head iceberg lettuce, washed and shredded 1⁄2 cup radicchio, washed and shredded Red onion, sliced thin, use as much as you prefer. I love red onion 4-5 mild pepperoncini 1 large ripe tomato cut into small chunks Can of sliced black olives or use whole ones if you like 1⁄2 cup shredded carrots Croutons (am going to make some from a left-over hot dog bun) Dressing 1⁄2 cup olive oil 1/3 cup white vinegar 1 packet Italian dressing mix (yep; I found that in my pantry.)

1⁄2 tsp. Italian dried seasoning mix.

2 Tbs. mayonnaise 1⁄2 tsp salt 1⁄4 tsp black pepper Dash of garlic powder 1⁄2 tsp. fresh lemon juice 1⁄2 tsp. sugar 2 1⁄2 tsp. grated Pecorino Romano or parmesan Put all the salad making together in a large bowl, except the croutons. Add them after adding the salad dressing.

Combine all of dressing ingredients and toss with salad. You can now add more cheese if you want. Hope you enjoy as

much as I am going to.

Besides being able to use the fresh vegetables I found while cleaning the refrigerators, I now must also decide what to do with the leftovers from the 4th. I am going to have sauerkraut and brats Monday night, hot dogs with chili and baked beans on Tuesday and a “mish-mosh” with whatever is left on Weds.

I hope most of you were able to attend the Rooftop Rodeo. I went Saturday

night and am going again Tuesday night.

I had my thinking cap on and brought a cushion to sit upon. Those seats are a bit hard and “cool.” It was a great show and I love the Mutton Busters. The cowboys gave it their all and the lady horse drill team was fantastic. Plan to go next year if you missed it. Oh, and the food was great as well.

I still have so much beautiful rhubarb growing. Anyone need or want any? My email: esther.cenac@gmail.com Bon Appétit.

It’s My Privilege.

Climbing, hiking, skiing, snowshoeing—there’s an awfully long list of reasons Dr. Florence does his job so well. After all, active pursuits are a way of life up here. So, you need shorter wait times for surgery, a full-time surgeon with accreditation in sports medicine, and a full range of orthopedic services, including total joint replacement. Good thing we have Estes Park Health and people like Dr. Florence to help you go the distance.

Salud Family Health Centers-Skin Cancer Detection And Prevention It's summer time and Estes Valley residents are outside hiking, biking and fishing. However be aware all of those outdoor activities pose a threat to your skin's health, particularly in Colorado where risks are even greater due to 300+ days of sunshine, active outdoor lifestyles, and high ambient ultraviolet (UV) due to altitude.

Melanoma, or cancer of the skin, is one of the most common kinds of cancer.

The good news? Skin cancer can almost always be cured when it's found and treated early.

Too much exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a primary risk factor for melanoma. While UV rays are something that should be guarded against year round, the summer season requires extra precautions. An obvious but important way to limit your exposure to UV light is to avoid being outdoors in direct sunlight during the middle of the day when UV light is the strongest.

For people enjoying the outdoors, wearing wrap-around sunglasses and a wide brim hat as well as clothing which covers arms and legs offer the best overall protection from harmful UV rays.

One of the biggest misconceptions among outdoor lovers is the need to only use a sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF) one time, with no need to reapply. In fact, we do not need sunscreen with a higher than 30 to 40 SPF. However, it is important to reapply fre-

quently (every two hours if sweating). It is especially important to remember to apply sunscreen to the nose and ears.

About 60 percent of melanomas come from pre-existing moles. One of the methods that doctors recommend as a self-check for melanoma is the ABCDE test. Moles that have one half different from the other half, or are ASMMETRICAL (A), or have an irregular or poorly defined BORDER (B), or vary in COLOR (C), or have a DIAMETER (D) larger than the size of a pencil eraser, or EVOLVE (E) in size, shape, color or any other trait, should be examined immediately by a doctor.

The Salud Estes Park Clinic will be offering free skin cancer screenings on July 18 and 19 in the afternoon from 1:00 to 4:00 both days. Anyone can make an appointment - you just need to call.

The Estes Park Salud Family Health Center is located at 1950 Redtail Hawk Drive. To schedule an appointment call 970-484-0999 or 303-MYSALUD. The website address is www.saludclinic.org At Salud Family Health Centers, we provide quality, affordable primary health care services to keep you and your family healthy. We serve all members of the community regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay.

ARE YOU A GOOD LISTENER? DO YOU CARE? A man walked into a doctor’s office and the receptionist asked him what he had. He said, “Shingles.” So she took down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat. Fifteen minutes later a nurse’s aide came out and asked him what he had. He said, “Shingles.” So she took down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told him to wait in the examining room. A half-hour later a nurse came in and asked him what he had.

He said, “Shingles.” So she gave him a blood test, a blood pressure test and told him to put on a gown and wait for the doctor. Soon the doctor came in and asked him what he had. He said, “Shingles.” The doctor said, “Where?” The man said, “In the truck. Where do you want them?”

Most of us have visited medical centers and gone through all of those procedures, and had they not had prior information, we might have been like this man. This story illustrates something all too common in our society…communication taking place that shows the same lacks seen in this story: the failure to fully express what should be conveyed and the failure to adequately listen to be sure that the listener is hearing exactly what the speaker is saying.

Such can keep misunderstandings from arising.

And they do arise, don’t they? Some years ago a research team asked hundreds of family professionals to list traits they observed in successful and happy families.

‘Communication’ was first among the eight different qualities to which families credited their success. Why? One fifteen-year-old girl nailed it when asked why communication was so important. She said: “Without talking you can’t know one another and if you don’t know one another you can’t care about one another, and that’s what the family ballgame is all about.”

Counselors with couples considering divorcing, will affirm its lack is most often blamed for the breakdown of that relationship. It is amazing how many couples stop talking once they have said “I do”, or if they do talk, much is so very superficial.

As we analyze parent-child relationships seen in dysfunctional families we find that poor or inadequate communication between the parents and children is a major cause of misunderstandings, broken relationships and heartache. And this problem is getting worse as young people bury themselves in their electronic devices more and more hours each day. A child authority recently wrote: “I contend that we are raising a generation of teens who feel lonely, disconnected and misunderstood. We are not doing this intentionally, but in our fastpaced and electronically connected society, we don’t sit down with our teens and note their mood and emotional well-being. Connection via the social media is not the same as an in-person connection.”

Small wonder then that there is a rapid increase in suicide among teens in our country. All were shocked to hear about three teens near Longmont who committed suicide within two weeks of each other several years ago. Grieving friends and family wondered, ‘did they feel connected, listened to, understood?’ ‘Did we show them we cared?’ And it’s true of all ages. I recently read of a man who jumped to his death from a bridge. On his computer they discovered his intention to walk to the bridge and ‘jump’… unless he met one person who smiled at him or greeted him, showing they cared. They didn’t…he did. So, I guess I’m trying to remind all of us of the importance of listening, of letting people know we care and are there…for them. Let’s make a special effort to do so.

Youth Theatre Group To Present “How To Eat Like A Child”

Musical Director Denise Stookesberry.

The Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies is proud to present this year’s youth theater production: How to Eat Like a Child, based on the popular book by Delia Ephro. This fast-paced, upbeat, one hour show is fun for children of all ages.

Whether you are five or seventy-five, the universality of the childhood experience will delight and entertain.

Fifteen kids ranging in age from 8-13 are working together for two weeks to learn their lines, blocking, music, and choreography. Three tech camp students help to create the set and lighting under the direction of Greig Steiner.

Through songs and skits performers offer lessons to the audience on topics such as: how to beg for a dog, how to torture your sister, how to act after being sent to your room, how to stay home from school, and how to watch more television.

An enthusiastic and experienced group of Estes Park theatre veterans leads this year’s talented group of young people, including former children’s librarian, Kerry Aiken as director; Greig Steiner as technical director; Kathy Littlejohn as production manager; Denise Stookesberry as musical director; and Melinda Workman as accompanist.

“I personally love this ensemble show because there are no ‘stars,’” Aiken says.

“All of the kids have their moments to shine and the group musical numbers are lots of fun for them.”

Aiken is particularly excited about this year’s performance because she has the opportunity to work with her grandchild, as well as many students that used to attend her library story-time as young children.

“Twelve out of the 15 kids came to my story-time when they were infants and toddlers. Now they're participating as 813 year olds! Time passes and it's so great to work with them again.”

This is the Fine Arts Guild’s tenth year offering youth theatre.

“The thing I love about this program is watching the growth in self-confidence of the kids and the relationships and caring that develops between them, ” Littlejohn says, noting that, while the age of performers ranges from 3rd grade to high school seniors, they all support, encourage, and befriend each other.

“Participating in this program is the highlight of my summer,” Littlejohn says, “it is magical! ” Performances are Saturday, July 21st and Sunday, July 22nd at 7 p.m. at the Park High School theatre. Tickets are available at Macdonald Book Shop and online at Brown Paper Tickets.

Technical Director Greig Steiner helps with set design.

14th Annual YMCA Arts & Craft Fair

Join the YMCA of the Rockies and guest artists for the 14th annual Arts and Crafts Fair on Thursday, July 19th from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. The event, which will take place on the Administration Building front porch, will feature 18 artists showcasing and selling their artful creations.

With artwork ranging from ceramics and jewelry to photography and pet toys, there’s something for everyone!

This year’s fair features artists Karen Dick, Renee MacDougall, Deedee Hampton and Lisa Sanger of Wild Tree Naturals, just to name a few.

Karen Dick has been an Estes Park resident for over 30 years where she produces pottery in her home studio and does the glazing and firing at the Boulder Potters’ Guild of which she has been a member since 1986.The majority of her work is stoneware, functional work that is meant to be used and enjoyed in

homes. “I have worked in clay for over thirty years now and the fascination of making pots has never faded for me. I hope that my love of working in this medium is conveyed in my pots,” said Dick.

Artist Renee MacDougall also brings something exciting to the Arts and Crafts Fair. Working in fused glass, Renee is able to create eye-catching and unique pieces of art that are not only fun to look at but also function as stylish jewelry.

According to Deedee Hampton, her artwork which consists of assemblages, reliquaries and paintings, explore the inner landscape, feeding the soul with practices that honor its presence.

Deedee finds her inspirations from a number of sources, including dreams, mythology and a wide spectrum of religious and philosophical beliefs.

As for Lisa Sanger at Wild Tree Naturals, her goal is to keep the customer in mind while creating wholesome, natural bath and body products ranging from essential oils to shea body butters and creams.

You’re Invited To The YMCA International Fair July 18 Each summer, YMCA of the Rockies – Estes Park Center hosts international staff and this summer is no exception.

This year we have more than 150 international staff members from Europe, South America, Asia, and further.

For the 14th year, the center is celebrating its international staff with the Annual International Fair. This year, the fair will be on Wednesday, July 18, from 5 to 7 p.m. on the porch of the Ruesch Auditorium. The international staff will present the wonders of their countries and give everyone a chance to

travel across the world! Staff will share about their cultures, flags and customs as well as their language and so much more.

The public is invited to attend this free event where they have the opportunity to visit as many as 25 countries in just one day!

Food For Life: The Power Of Food For Cancer Prevention & Survival Cooking Course Salud Family Health Center and The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a national nonprofit organization that promotes preventive medicine, particularly good nutrition, and supports higher standards in research, are offering a cooking course designed to help local residents prevent and survive cancer through proper diet and nutrition.

“The single easiest and best thing most of us can do to prevent cancer or its recurrence is to eat right,” says Susan Levin, M.S., R.D., the director of nutrition education for PCRM. “Approximately a third of all cancer deaths in this country are due to poor diet.”

The Rx for better health? It’s a low-fat vegetarian diet. Load up on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, Levin says; they’re naturally low in fat, chock-full of fiber, and filled with cancer-fighting antioxidants and phytochemicals. Cut down on fatty foods and added fats and oils, particularly saturated fats, which have been linked to an increased risk of breast, colon, and prostate cancer.

Likewise, look for healthy substitutes for dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt, which have been implicated in the occurrence of breast and

colorectal cancers.

The challenge, Levin acknowledges, is not only to teach people which foods are good for them, but also to show them how to make the foods taste good. Each class centers on important cancer-nutrition topics as local cooking instructor Chazz Glaze guides students through the preparation of tasty and easy-to-prepare recipes.

The class details are as follow: July 19 , 5:30–7:30 p.m., Introduction to How Foods Fight Cancer July 26, 5:30–7:30 p.m., Fueling Up on Low-Fat, High-Fiber Foods August 2, 5:30–7:30 p.m., Favoring Fiber August 9, 5:30–7:30 p.m., Discovering Dairy Alternatives August 16, 5:30–7:30 p.m., Replacing Meat August 23, 5:30–7:30 p.m., CancerFighting Compounds & ImmuneBoosting Foods August 30, 5:30–7:30 p.m., Maintaining a Healthy Weight Control All classes are held at Salud Family Health Center, 1950 Redtail Hawk Drive, Estes Park. Suggested donation is $10/class, but scholarships are available for those with financial need.

For more information about Food for Life: The Power of Food for Cancer Prevention and Survival Cooking Classes, email Chazz at aveganwithaltitude@gmail.com or call (970) 3640040 (please leave a voicemail).

at the Loveland Public Library on August 15, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Session 2: Diversified Funding and Donor Engagement will be held at the Poudre River Library in Fort Collins on August 23, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Finally, Session 3: Major Gifts and Planned Giving will be held at the Estes Valley Library on September 5, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. For complete session descriptions and presenter bios, visit our website at epnonprofit.org.

My Kind Of Mexico

By: Ruth Olstrom

I Meet Paco and his Parents From my journal: “Paco, Dulce’s betrothed, came by yesterday [Monday, March 5th] about 7:00 p.m., after work.” I found out later Paco is an accountant at a new auto manufacturing plant in León. He, like Dulce, is a college graduate. “I liked him. He said he was nervous (to speak English? To meet me?) but he was still self-assured.” Paco is tall and broad, with close-cut black hair and a strong but open face.

“When I asked how he and Dulce met, he said, ‘At the gymnasium. ’ They used to exercise a lot, not so much now as they are so busy. He saw her and it was instant. ‘She is beautiful, ’ he said. I agreed. A week or so after he saw her he talked to her and that was that. ‘I loved her at the beginning. ’ He will be a solid and loving husband for Dulce. And Lola tells me he is from a good family. Paco knows a little English because he works with Americans, but he won’t speak English with Dulce. He is shy to speak with her, I guess.”

Thursday, after Paco got off work and was home at his parents’ house, Dulce and I picked him up along with his dad, José, and we went to a men’s formal clothes store in León. Paco tried on dress shoes and picked up his dark smoking jacket, rented for the wedding on Saturday. The jacket is not quite a tux, but still very formal. Back in Salamanca, Dulce parked on the street in front of Paco’s house. We got out of the car, José unlocked a large metal door and we went directly into the house. I met Paco’s mother, Silvia, and we all sat politely on sofas and chairs in a tiled sitting room next to a dining room with a huge table. Silvia has medium-brown short hair, thick and wavy, and a kind face. She could be any American grandma. On the other hand, her husband, José, looks very “Mexican” with Design | Remodel his slight build, black hair and pencil mustache.

I had been told Paco’s parents don’t speak any English. With Dulce translating, Silvia thanked me for coming so far to the wedding. I responded through Dulce that, “I was compelled by love. ” My journal records, “Paco and Dulce went to get food for us on the street and left the three of us alone. Good thing I’m not shy about speaking incorrect, fumbling Spanish! They told me their daughter, son-in-law and one month-old grandson, Santiago, went to Ohio in the United States for one year. It was very hard, they said, for their daughter’s family and for them. Santiago is four years old now. ” I took out a picture of my three daughters together from a deep pocket in my purse and showed it to José and Silvia, CELEBRATING along with a photo of my log cabin in YEARS 1993-2018 the mountains. We talked about our “nietos, ” grandchildren, and our children.

I told them what a good man Paco is, and how I liked him very much. We were having a delightful conversation when Paco and Dulce came back with Est. 1993 enchiladas and tacitos for our dinner, 970-586-7711 | www.ldwatkins.com which we ate together at one end of the Commercial | Mountain Homes | Remodeling table in the dining room.

Monday Artisans Market July 16 Featured Artisan, Photographer Alan Shadduck

The Monday Artisans Market is located at George Hix Riverside Plaza downtown, 10:00 - 5:00, every Monday throughout the summer months, June, July and August.

This weeks featured artisan for the Monday Artisans Market is Alan Shadduck. Alan’s photography reflects his joy and spirit of his creative process.

Alan Shadduck, a resident of the Estes Valley, says he is living the dream as he pursues a life-long passion for capturing what he calls “fleeting moments in time” as photographic images.

Growing up in the Midwest, in a family of hunters and fishermen, he likens this pursuit of those special moments of time and light to those days of his youth, learning that catching the prize involves planning, timing, and much waiting for that opportune moment which is here and gone in an instant. Alan’s work has been widely recognized and published; on the cover of Nebraska Life magazine, in feature article publications of Nebraska Life and NebraksaLAND, in web publications including National Geographic and Planet Experts, here in The Estes Park News, displayed at the Estes Valley Community Center, and can be found throughout the current 2018 Official Estes Park Visitor Guide.

Alan’s interest in photography began at an early age, taking a serious turn as a teenager in the late 1970s, when he began processing his own film and discovering the creative aspects of making his own prints in the chemical darkroom of that time. Over their 36 years together, Alan and his wife Leanne found common interest in photography, initially shooting portrait photography from their home studio in Nebraska. Their first visit to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park was in 2004 as they made their first Colorado home in nearby Loveland and found more common interest in hiking and exploring this amazing area. At that point the photographic journey began expanding into landscape, wildlife, and a focus on mastery of the modern digital darkroom, returning to that creativity first encountered in the chemical darkroom of the past.

In 2015 Alan and Leanne came to Estes Park to settle as permanent residents and pursue their love of the mountains and

the unique photographic opportunities.

Their photographic journey has recently come full circle as they have combined those many years of studio-lit portraiture with the unique landscape backdrops of RMNP. They have expanded their “Images of Estes Park” business to include photo sessions for individuals, families, seniors, engagements, and wedding formals.

After many years of visiting as tourists, Alan and Leanne truly feel blessed to live in this area.

Alan said “we were always warmly welcomed and impressed with the hospitality we received in Estes Park when we visited as tourists, and now it’s our turn to give back. ” This is their second year at the Monday Artisans Market. “What a wonderful opportunity for local artists like myself! ” he said. Alan finds the Monday Artisans Market a great opportunity to share his work and to interact with visitors from literally all over the world, many of which are social media followers who seek him out at this venue.

In addition to their booth at the Artisans Market every Monday this summer, Alan and Leanne can often be seen downtown or along the Riverwalk in Estes Park, walking with their 5-monthold Saint Pyrenees, Lily, who loves to greet the tourists! You can keep up with Alan’s work on social media at www.facebook.com/imagesofestespark, and find his Fine Art and Photo Session opportunities at www.ImagesofEstesPark.com .

But you’ll usually have to get up very early in the morning to catch Alan out in RMNP with camera and tripod. “Most of my shooting is done in the wee hours, I’m in well before sunrise to get into position to catch that brief moment of opportune light, and out before most tourists have had breakfast. ” The Monday Artisans Market offers a unique opportunity to enjoy and support local artisans. We are all about local art, artisans, and our unique stories about our art, that makes each and every one of us unique. The Monday Artisans Market connects Estes Park residents, businesses, tourists and the arts within our community. We are located at the Riverside Plaza, 10:00 - 5:00.

Stop by, say hi, meet the artisans, see their labor of love, and hear their story.

Appreciation goes to all the automobile exhibitors who shared stories and greeted the thousands of visitors throughout the day. Similarly, the Friends thank everyone who attended and supported the fundraising through their ticket purchases, silent auction bids, and other donations.

The Mountain Town Trio drew many fans with their spirited melodies of folk and rock music. And the Mountain Music Makers entertained attendees that morning with their popular folk and country sounds. Thanks goes to all the musicians who performed.

Beth Headley and Tim Buck stayed busy throughout the day—Beth leading the fun photo booth, offering attendees instant memories preserved of their 4th of July in Estes Park—and Tim bringing smiles to many faces through his tremendous talent at drawing caricatures. The Friends thank Beth and Tim for making this year’s event a joy for families and for all ages.

The Friends also wish to thank the dozens of volunteers who staffed the event, helping register cars, sell tickets, guide visitors, lead the silent auction bids, tally car votes, coordinate children’s activities, sell apple pie slices, and much more. Volunteer support was generous and enthusiastic throughout the day.

Sincere gratitude goes to Neal Standard, for his tireless work in chairing

this year’s event, and for recruiting many of his family members to volunteer that day. Assisting Neal was Jacqui Dantimo, as well as Museum Friends Administrative Assistant Elaine HuntDowney. The Friends & Foundation Board members gave support with planning, facilitating and staffing the event.

The organizers also express their appreciation to the members of the Estes Park Car Club, who provided much encouragement and assistance in the many months of planning this year’s event.

Finally, yet very importantly, the event would not have been possible without the generous sponsorship support of these local businesses: the Bank of Colorado, Rambo’s Longhorn Liquor, Alpine Automotive, Smokin’ Dave’s BBQ & Taphouse, III (Triple ‘i’) Image Inhancement, the Bank of Estes Park, Big Horn Restaurant, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Brownfield’s, U.S. Bank, the Ore Cart Rock Shop, Cheley Colorado Camps, Sweet Basilico Restaurant, and Tour Estes Park.

Silent auction donations and other support came from Elkins Distillery, Hyk, Penelope’s Restaurant, Wildside Tours, the Egg & I, Pepper Palace, Rock Cut Brewery, Over the Edge, Kind Coffee, Estes Valley Recreation & Parks District (EVRPD), the Estes Park Trail Gazette, the Enchanted Florist, and the Taffy Shop.

Thanks also to the Town of Estes Park Events Complex staff for all their assistance.

The Coolest Car Show is a fundraiser for the Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting the Estes Park Museum through fundraising, publications, outreach, volunteerism, special projects and events.

Crossroads Ministry Thanks Community For July 4 Benefit Breakfast

An estimated 450 people gathered on Wednesday, July 4, for food and fellowship in the parking lot of Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church. The breakfast prepared by the Knights of Columbus at Our Lady of the Mountains, raised approximately $4,800 to help persons in need through Crossroads Ministry of Estes Park.

The event also collected 160 pounds of non-perishable food to stock our pantry shelves.

One Touch Of Nature “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. ” Henry David Thoreau, 1854 The Corps Network, based in Washington, D.C., supports over 130 service and conservation corps programs in communities across America, engaging tens of thousands of young women and men ages 16-25 in conservation and service projects, job training, academics and more as they transform their lives through improving the environment.

“Within National Parks is room, glorious room --- room in which to find ourselves, in which to think and hope, to dream and plan, to rest and resolve. ” Enos Mills, 1917 It’s a far distance from Capitol Hill to

Moraine Park in RMNP, where this summer one of six Rocky Mountain Conservancy Conservation Corps (RMC-CC) crews is living in tents for eleven weeks, preparing meals and executing a variety of service projects: trailwork, historical preservation, natural resource conservation and more. The corpsmembers hail from Colorado, Texas, Louisiana, Missouri, Indiana and Minnesota.

“At a certain point, you say to the woods, to the sea, to the mountains, to the world, Now I am ready. Now I will stop and be wholly attentive. You empty yourself and wait, listening. ” Annie Dillard, 1982 Will Fazio, from Boulder, is in his second summer with RMC-CC: “I didn’t realize that National Park visits as a kid were foundational to my wanting to work in NPS. I had no idea about career paths (BLM, Forest Service, NPS). It’s bigger than me, and I want to be more a

part of it, to find my path, gain experience. I want to use climbing, possibly be a climbing ranger. Our work serves to enhance the visitor experience. ” Hayley Hasberger (Corvallis, OR): “We are working at McGraw Ranch, restoring windows to pristine conditions without changing or altering the building. It’s a lot of stripping, repainting and caulking.

Upcoming projects include a solar shower in Glacier Basin and replacing rotting logs at the Ranger Station in Glacier Basin. I like diversity, working with all ages and all walks of life, all backgrounds. My goal is to join NPS. ” “To coal and iron mines; freight trains and fishing fleets in December; dishwashing, clotheswashing and windowwashing; road-building and tunnelmaking; foundries, stoke-holes and the frames of skyscrapers, would our youths be drafted off, to get the childishness knocked out of them, and to come back into society with healthier sympathies and soberer ideas. ” “The Moral Equivalent of War, ” William James, 1906 Sydney Moreno (San Antonio, TX): “I like manual labor; it’s addicting. I like to earn the feeling of being tired. The diversity of work, the people, the environment, it’s awesome. I want to work on a permanent trail crew. I want to help the Park Service bring more people to experience the land in their own way. If you’re not excited about it, how can others be? I did not grow up camping, and I want that for my family. ” “Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.

The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. ” John Muir, 1875 Anna Baize (Indianapolis): “This is a great learning experience. I’m out of doors in a National Park, actually helping preserve it. We are working on repainting cabins, fencing, recycling park benches, helping with trail work and historical preservation. I really enjoy doing something bigger than me that will help people. I want natural resource conservation as a career. NPS has many moving parts behind the scenes, and all these

jobs make the public’s experience better. ” Barnabas Tsige (Longmont): “I never grew up in nature, so being here in RMNP is beautiful. No matter my mood, when I look outside and see mountains and meadows, it’s so important, there’s not enough of it, so I want to preserve it.

The projects will not get done in one day, and the duration creates impatience in me. Quality is important—do it right.

I’m learning a lot. There are underserved communities in America and this beautiful place needs to be accessible to all. ” “There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature – the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter. ” Rachel Carson, 1965 Max Murphy (Austin, TX): “I like working hard outside, at elevation. I’m a big fan of mountains. Working at McGraw Ranch was cool and tangible, start to finish. Working with different personalities is challenging. Everyone is here because they want to be outside helping to preserve the environment, be stewards of the land. We want to keep it that way. ” “It makes no difference how many peaks you reach if there was no pleasure in the climb. ” Oprah Winfrey, 2014 “People come from all over the world to see Rocky Mountain National Park.

Something happens here, and it leaves a sparkle in the eyes…. Preserving the land is a golden idea; we have too long separated ourselves from the out of doors…. It’s cool that the work we do will be here for a year, possibly ten or twenty or even more…. We work for others, not for ourselves…I get to live in the National Park! ” RMC-CC Corpsmembers “Something will have gone out of us as a people if we ever let the remaining wilderness be destroyed. We simply need that wild country available to us, even if we never do more than drive to its edge and look in. ” Wallace Stegner, 1960 Next column: Summer in Estes Estes Park. Nice town. Nice people.

“Fresh Perspectives: Colorado And Beyond” At Art Center

Exhibit featuring Loveland artists Mary Benke and Mike Dwyer at the Art Center of Estes Park The Art Center is pleased to announce its upcoming show “Fresh Perspectives: Colorado and Beyond” with watercolor, oil, and pastel paintings by featured Loveland artist Mary Benke, and bronze sculpture by guest artist Mike Dwyer, also from Loveland. This show will be on exhibit July 20 through August 28, 2018.

The reception is Friday, July 20, 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. This show is sponsored by Alice and Larry League.

Gallery Hours are 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. daily The beauty Mary Benke finds in her everyday life constantly inspires her to create; living in northern Colorado, she has no shortage of breathtaking and inspirational landscapes to paint.

She enjoys the Colorado outdoors as well as traveling to such places as Scotland, Ireland, Europe, the Caribbean, and Mexico, and finds inspiration in all locales: “For this show, I have drawn on a wide variety of subject matter from all over the world. From an interior/landscape pastel inspired by a life-changing trip to Israel last year, to an oil from a photo taken at sunset of our nearby Devil’s Backbone, I’ve searched far and wide for inspiration,” Mary explains.

Mary’s work also includes pastel and oil paintings inspired by some of Colorado’s iconic settings, such as Maroon Bells, Garden of the Gods, and Rocky Mountain National Park.

Mary’s award-winning work has been juried into numerous regional, national, and international art exhibitions. She is a signature member of the Pastel Society of Colorado. She was a selected artist for Loveland, Colorado’s City with HeART Project, through which she designed and painted a 5-foot fiberglass heart, “Lover’s Leap, ” in collaboration with bronze sculptor Merrilee Cleveland, sponsored

by Mueller & Assoc., CPA. Its permanent installation is near Lake Loveland, Loveland, CO. Mary is a member of several local and regional art organizations, and is active on the board of directors at the Art Cen-

ter of Estes Park, serving as Marketing Committee chair and social media director. She has also been involved in the Art Center’s mentor program, through which she’s enjoyed building long-term relationships mentoring high school students in watercolor and pastel, culminating in an annual show in which they can exhibit and sell their work and learn the creative and business aspects of art.

While this exhibit consists primarily of Mary’s expressive landscapes, she has created a special series of small watercolors to accompany some of Dwyer’s sculptures. This includes “portraits” of a raven, a pika, a hummingbird, and a quail. “Mike’s stunning sculptures of birds and other wildlife fit perfectly into the backdrop of my expressive landscapes. His wolves and ravens and pikas are right at home in my settings depicting ‘Colorado and beyond. ’ ” Mike Dwyer first began expressing his love for birds and wildlife in elementary school by sculpting a series of animals out of clay, then firing them in a kiln. It was during this time, while growing up in the untouched desert areas around Scottsdale, Arizona, that he began a lifelong passion of wildlife obser-

vation and study.

He went on to receive his Masters of Science degree from Fort Hays State University in wildlife studies with an emphasis in Ornithology. While at Fort Hays, Mike completed his first waterfowl carving, a Northern Shoveler, out of Basswood. After completing a series of songbird and waterfowl carvings, Mike switched to sculpting in clay and began to cast his first series of bronze compositions of birds and animals in Loveland, Colorado. His limited edition bronze sculptures range from very detailed bald eagles to smooth, elegant mourning doves, and lifelike sculptures of children interacting with nature. His eye for anatomy, balance and flow are evident in each sculpture.

Living in Loveland has enabled Mike to learn the bronze casting process and

each bronze sculpture. Mike's realistic works of bronze can be found in both private and public collections throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, and Puerto Rico. He has been honored with both People's Choice and Juror's Awards for his beautiful life-like bronze sculptures. A large collection of unique bronze doorknockers are a new dimension of Mike's work, and he is now sculpting custom doorknocker designs for his clients.

Mike is also the commissioned sculptor for Estes Park’s “Pikas in the Park” project. He sculpted 12 bronze pikas, each one with a different composition. These were installed throughout Estes Park last year as part of the town’s 100-year celebration. Individuals and families can

Friday, July 13, 2018 « 35

participate in this unique, interactive scavenger hunt, then come to the Art Center of Estes Park to see them all together. Bronze replicas of the pikas can also be purchased exclusively at the Art Center. You can find Mike's work at his studio, in Loveland, Colorado; his gallery locations; or, at the fine art shows where he exhibits around the country.

The Art Center is located at 517 Big Thompson Avenue, in Middle Stanley Village, below Safeway and above Subway. Visit the gallery to enjoy art of a variety of media made by local and regional artists. For more information on exhibitions, classes and presentations please call the Art Center at 970-5865882 or visit our website at www.artcenterofestes.com.

Libraries Rock When All Ages Read Together By: Melanie Kozlowski & Apelles Morales, Youth Services Librarians

Over the past six weeks, readers of all ages have been hitting high notes by reading for incentives this summer season. We’ve hosted book clubs, we’ve read together, and we’ve given out hundreds of prizes. And we’re not done yet.

For kids, summertime reading benefits are immense. Children who read over summer avoid the dreaded “summer slide.” They are primed and ready to learn on Day One when school resumes.

For us grown-ups, summer is a perfect time to rediscover the joys of reading (and listening to books) for pleasure. In this world of wonders, our hunger to learn can—and should—continue as we grow older. Libraries are a resource for our whole lifetime.

There are just a couple weeks left in the Summer Reading Program, and it’s not too late to pick up a reading log. Music, sound and rhythm are inspiring 2018s energetic theme: Libraries Rock. Several of our biggest programs are happening this month, as we celebrate how fun and fulfilling summertime reading can be.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to attend a children’s stortyime session, you’ll delight in the All-Ages Music Storytime on Thursday, July 26 at 10:30 a.m. Everyone is invited: kid, grown-ups, and even grown-ups without a kid. It’s a perfect opportunity to see the magic that happens during a library storytime, as we welcome local musicians and read musical-themed children’s books, all neatly packaged into one half-hour of

delight.

Expect to leave with a irrepressible smile and a song in your step. Register your spot today at estesvalleylibrary.org.

Storytime teaches us to be good listeners. A worthy skill indeed. But it’s also about activities and hands-on creativity.

This summer, we have a time place just for that, not to mention the perfect bandleader.

You’re invited to join the All-Ages Music Jam cheerfully led by music therapist Nancy Bell on Tuesday, July 31 at 6:30 p.m. No musical ability is required—this 45-minute session is all about simple and easy expression.

And you can bring any instrument of your choosing. You might bring the Diddley Bow you made at a library workshop. Or any instrument you have at home. If you don’t have an instrument to bring, no problem. We’ll have plenty of percussion pieces on hand you can borrow and share. You can register now at estesvalleylibrary.org.

Kids ages 6 to 11 still have a chance to Make a Musical Instrument at our craft workshop this Thursday, July 19 at 2 p.m. (registration online).

Many thanks to the Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation for making all these programs possible.

We look forward to sharing more highlights—plus a big music-themed announcement—in our Summer Summary next month. May all of this joy—reading and music alike—endure this summer and beyond.

This special performance will be held on Friday, July 20. Plan to arrive promptly by 7:15 a.m., order breakfast, and enjoy the humorous spiels of Lord Dunraven during your breakfast meal. Call 577 1483 to reserve your spot. Cost is limited to a nominal charge for breakfast to be paid at the event.

Chad Elliot To Perform At YMCA Of The Rockies Chad Elliott to perform at YMCA of the Rockies On Sunday, July 15, Chad Elliott 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.

Chad Elliott's life has served as fertile ground for music. Elliott has turned love, loss, fatherhood, divorce and homelessness into lyrics. He performs more than 200 shows each year and is lauded as “Iowa’s Renaissance man” by Culture Buzz. He has cultivated more than 1,000 songs in his career while also honing his skills as painter, sculptor and children's book author/illustrator (Wilderman’s Treetop Tales).

Elliott’s early career demonstrates a love of folk, roots and singer-songwriter music. He has worked with many greats and shared the stage with artists of the highest caliber, including Odetta, Tom Paxton, Loudon Wainwright III, R.L. Burnside, Greg Brown, Bo Ramsey, etc. Today, his songwriting has made a marked shift to

Americana.

On his 21st album, RINGGOLD, Elliott recorded songs at his home studio in Iowa. The studio, built in his grandparents’ former home, helped him connect with his roots and explore difficult songs about those closest to him. It was released in 2017. It travels back to the roots of his hometown in Lamoni, IA. The album is recorded in his grandparent’s home, which he purchased and was released in 2017.

Elliott will release his 22nd album, Rest Heavy, which shows his love of rootsrock, soul, and blues music, on August 10, 2018. The self-produced album was recorded at the famed Sun Studio in Memphis, TN by Ples Hampton. Hampton said, “It was honestly one of the best sessions I've ever had up here. This is gold.” Greg Brown said of the new album, it’s “low, loose and full of juice.

This album’s got a lot of life to it.” On this album, Elliott performs on acoustic guitar and harmonica, and is joined by his full band, The Redemptions.

Chad Elliott was a finalist in the 2018 Kerrville New Folk Festival. To learn more about Chad Elliott and his music, visit www.chadelliott.net/promo-materials This Sunday service and concert are a part of the Chapel Ministry’s 2018 Summer Worship Fest program. Learn more at: tinyurl.com/y8rqgz5f

Old Gallery In Allenspark Presents Songwriters In The Round

Hunter Stone

The Old Gallery in Allenspark is making quite a name for itself for brining high quality musicians to the tiny mountain hamlet just 20 minutes from Estes Park. Last year, Biff Gore, contestant from Season 6 of The Voice performed at Hogabluesa, the annual beer, BBQ and blues event. At this year’s Hogabluesa on June 30, Eff and the Blues Express (which made the semi-finals at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis) performed. And the popular Songwriters in the Round Series, which debuted in 2017, attracts top regional singer-songwriters to the center for community and the arts.

“Our songwriters love performing at The Old Gallery,” said Songwriters in the Round curator Theresa Peterson, cofounder of Boulder-in-the-Round at eTown Hall. “The Old Gallery has amazing acoustics and offers a Steinway piano for our songwriters to use,” she said.

Allie Chipkin

“But what the songwriters love most of all is the true listening room experience there. The Old Gallery audience is attentive and supportive. It’s much different than playing at a bar or coffee shop where patrons are more interested in conversation than a songwriter’s lyrics.”

And that reputation is making it easy to recruit area songwriters. “We have songwriters turning down higher paying gigs in order to play at The Old Gallery,” said Peterson. The second songwriter event is Saturday, July 28 at 7 p.m. and will feature four artists who will take turns playing their original songs and share the story behind it, not unlike the famed Bluebird in Nashville. The four performers are Hunter Stone, Alexa Wildish, David Burchfield and Allie Chipkin.

Boulder in the Round co-founder Hunter Stone’s songwriting echoes the

David Burchfield

simple melodic beauty of folk music of the past and his lyrical content paints pictures of the world we see around us.

Stone kicks things up with the stomp of a foot drum and the bent notes of a pinky slide, bringing his lyrics to life with the emotional honesty of his voice. (hunterstonemusic.com). This is his second appearance at Songwriters in the Round.

Alexa Wildish has been compared to the sounds of Joni Mitchell, Eva Cassidy and Laura Marling. She was the founder of a progressive folk band (Wildish) in Portland, Oregon but now resides in Boulder. (alexawildish.com) David Burchfield is a Denver-based singer-songwriter. He is inspired by the American songbook from Woody Guthrie to Jeff Tweedy to Jason Isbell, and weaves together a rich texture of diverse influences to create an innovative folk sound that sounds simultaneously fresh and deeply rooted. (davidburchfieldmusic.com) Allie Chipkin is a Poughkeepsie native singer-songwriter based in Boulder. In 2016, Allie received Honorable Mention at the Telluride Bluegrass Troubadour's Contest. Listeners draw comparisons to

Sara Bareilles, Joni Mitchell, and Fiona Apple. (alliechipkin.com) Tickets to Songwriters in the Round are $15 each and available at The Old Gallery and brownpapertickets.com.

Alexa Wildish You must be 16 years or older to attend. There will be a cash bar.

“If you enjoy live music, if you appreciate hearing songs as they are born and the backstories behind them, if you appreciate artistry and value a true listening environment, you need to come experience Songwriters in the Round,” said The Old Gallery volunteer Steve Weaver, who along with his wife Holly BeaWeaver started the songwriter series in Allenspark.

The Old Gallery is a not for profit that provides a twice-monthly food bank distribution, health and wellness classes, entertainment, the Rocky Mountain 101 Speaker Series, classes in art, yoga, improv theatre and memoir writing and more. Sixteen local artists also display and sell their artwork there. To view a complete list of all events, visit www.theoldgallery.org.

If you plan to attend the event, please consider carpooling. Do not park in front of The Old Gallery or the Fire Station, but in the parking lot located next to the Boulder County Transfer Station next to the Fire Station.

Robert J. “Bob” Haughey Ph.D.

June 17, 1931 – January 6, 2018 “Dr. Bob,” as he was affectionately called by many who loved him, a 44 year resident of Estes Park entered Eternal Life, on the Feast of the Epiphany, January 6, 2018, after a challenging medical year. Bob was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle, educator, friend and mentor.

A Life Celebration of Thanksgiving honoring Bob will be held July 14, 2018, Saturday at 11:30 a.m. in the outdoor amphitheater of Estes Valley Memorial Gardens, 1672 Fish Hatchery Road, Estes Park, Colorado.

A “depression era” baby, Bob was born June 17, 1931 in Brooklyn, NY. His first generation Irish American parents were Francis & Helen (Rogers) Haughey, who came from hardworking, hope-filled immigrant stock; people who valued learning, compassion and humor.

Bob was an ex-submariner, having served our country during the Korean War, as an Electronic Technician. It was this electronic training coupled with his natural skill set that gave him a “ticket’ into the corporate world, fol-

lowing his discharge from naval service in 1955.

He was a quiet man who practiced the rare quality of ‘active listening’, this positive characteristic served him and others well, personally and professionally in the arenas of business, industry and academia. It was especially helpful when managing and educating fellow IBM employees for 37 years in the USA and the Pacific Rim. Bob married the ‘love of his life’, his cherished sweetheart, Kay Norton in their parish church April 30, 1955. Following wedding festivities the couple headed north, out of New York City to Poughkeepsie, NY where Bob began his long, satisfying career with IBM. IBM gave Bob an opportunity; Bob gave IBM his best!

It was a time of major corporate expansion. Bob was able to serve in a variety of technical, administrative and management positions, while participating fully in the organizational setting up of several new locations throughout the country.

This work experience led to his being invited to join the initial management team sent ‘out west to establish the IBM Boulder, Colorado facility in 1965. It was an exciting, exhausting time when Bob, Kay and their children (all east coast natives) were about to become ”Colorado Converts”!

The family settled in Longmont, a wonderful, welcoming town (population 14,000 in 1965) where they participated fully in community and church life. Through CFM (Christian Family Movement), they encountered a loving, culturally diverse, supportive group of folks, many of whom would become life-long friends. But the mountains that Bob so loved were calling! So in 1971, the Haughey family headed west into “the hills”!

Beautiful Big Elk Meadows, where they owned a little cabin, was their dream destination (1971- 1974) then on the magnificent Estes Valley, which

has been their “hometown” ever since 1974.

Education-wise, Bob was a “plodder.”

Following his 1949 graduation from a tech high school, he secured a full-time job as a Coal Sampler with Con Edison, NYC and began what was to become a lifetime of night and weekend classes, one course at a time.

Through the decades, with Kay’s ever constant support, if a course of study could be fitted around employment schedules or family obligations, Bob took that course and Kay “held the fort”!

In this way, Bob earned all four of his university degrees! All this academic “plodding” culminated in supreme joy, when in 1994 Bob was awarded his Ph.D. from Colorado State University as his grandchildren cheered and whistled from the balcony of Moby Arena at CSU in Fort Collins, Colorado. Truly a day to remember! Bob was 63 years old!

Following early retirement from IBM, Bob went on to become an adjunct professor at Regis University, Denver.

In 1997 he was chosen to receive the Excellence in Teaching award from Regis University.

Bob loved and respected all of nature: the mountains, the ocean, the Sonoran Dessert of Arizona-Mexico. He was a wood carver, who climbed mountains (having guided many young people up Longs Peak) an ardent amateur geologist, rock collector, volcano explorer, star gazer and avid reader. He never ceased being in awe and appreciation for the incredible universe given us, the human family, by our loving creator.

Possessing a dry Irish wit, Bob was “a master at putting the absurdities of life into focus, while making you laugh.”

Punning with his children (and with similarly inclined pun-loving friends) was a form of humor he enjoyed immensely.

Spending an afternoon sitting on his deck, coffee in hand, surrounded by books and birds looking up at his mountains was for Bob a taste of paradise, this was increasingly the case as his health began to fail.

As his hospitalizations increased, his little great-grand babes would visit, draw pictures, read their board books to him. Running their little trucks and buggies along the folds of his bed linens, he’d smile at them, thoroughly enjoying their innocent blessedness.

What a gift!

Left behind to cherish Bob’s memory is his soulmate and wife of 63 years, Kay Norton, Estes Park; and their children: Mary Catherine (Dorsey) Comeau, Brighton, CO; Helen Hess, Ft. Collins, CO; Fara Kelly (James) Arnold, Longmont, CO; Michael (Bonnie) Haughey, Ft. Collins, CO; Lidia Haughey, Wyoming/Montana; Matthew, Africa; ten grandchildren around the world; seven great grandchildren, many loving nieces and nephews; long- time friends and caring children, grands and great grands from second family marriages.

Bob was proceeded in death by his parents, his only sibling a brother Dr. Frank Haughey, and a daughter Jeanne Norton Haughey Richards, a cancer victim.

Kay and her family are profoundly grateful for the thousands of acts of kindness, they and her precious Bob received from the entire Estes Park Community in so many different ways by so many caring people during this difficult time. Blessings in abundance on all!

Following the Celebration of Bob’s Life, a luncheon reception will be held at Rocky Mountain Gateway Trailhead Restaurant, 3450 Fall River Rd., Estes Park, just one half mile up the hill and west of Estes Valley Memorial Garden, where there is plenty of parking and easy access.

Prayers and continuing small acts of kindness that make our world a better place would be a tremendous tribute to Bob’s memory.

Donations may be made to Crossroads ministry, Inc., Estes Park, CO or St. Judes Children’s Cancer Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105 – these were two of Bob’s favorite charities.

Franklin Arden Burke Long time summer resident Franklin A. Burke, age 83, formerly of Doylestown, Pennsylvania and recently of Peoria, Arizona, died February 17 in Sun City, Arizona. He was born March 12, 1934 in Topeka, Kansas, to John Wesley and Dorothy Mae (Crans) Burke. He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Elizabeth K (Chapin) Burke, son Robert (Sharon), daughter Sally Badali, and granddaughter Angelina Badali. Surviving siblings include brother Clayton E Burke (Suzanne) and sister Barbara L Burke. He was predeceased by daughter Jennifer Burke and brothers John N Burke (Patty) and Daniel D Burke (Mary).

Frank graduated in the summer of 1955 with a degree in Business Administration from Kansas State College (now University) and entered the US Air Force in April 1956. In his eight years with the Air Force he became a multi-engine pilot, achieved his master’s in finance at the University of Colorado, and served at Olmstead AF Base in Pennsylvania before becoming chief of the contract management office at the U S Embassy in London England. While there, he took additional advanced economics courses at the London School of Economics, which complimented his growing interest in the investment industry.

Frank left the Air Force in 1964 to open a small securities brokerage firm “Burke, Lawton & Company” with business partner Nicholas Lawton, in Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania. Later, in 1971, he founded a companion investment management firm, Venture Securities Corporation, to provide necessary investment management services for clients of the brokerage firm. These firms combined and grew to become what is now BLBB Advisors, a full-service investment management company in Spring House, Pennsylvania, serving clients in 44 states and several countries.

Before their recent move to Arizona, Frank and Elizabeth lived for more than 50 years in the greater Philadelphia area. During that period his contributions to the community were nu-

merous. He served for 28 years as member and Treasurer of the Board of Trustees of The Williamson College of the Trades in Media, PA—helping Williamson provide free technical and trade skill education for economically disadvantaged boys.

During this time, he not only managed Williamson’s main endowments; he also became one of Williamson’s major financial supporters. He and Elizabeth purchased and operated the Omega Institute in Pennsauken, N.J. --a technical school helping non-traditional students re-enter the workforce. While long time members of Pleasantville United Church of Christ in Chalfont, PA, Frank held many leadership roles and helped to establish a fund providing educational scholarships and financial support to many in need within the congregation. He also directed significant gifts to the Lancaster Theological Seminary before and after his service on the Seminary’s Board of Trustees.

He and Elizabeth also made significant philanthropic endowments for his alma mater Kansas State University. In addition, they have generously contributed college scholarship funds to the Ellis Foundation. Frank served on several private boards of banks and public companies.

Frank was an avid collector of classic automobiles and enjoyed his time greatly with members of the Delaware Valley Antique Automobile Club. He also enjoyed travelling with his wife Elizabeth both overseas and in his motorhome among the states.

Elizabeth and Frank spent many vacations in Estes Park and became members of the Summer Residents Association in 1984. Since then, they have had a lot of fun and have made good friends with the SRA people every summer.

A memorial service to honor Franklin A. Burke has been scheduled at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday July 28 at the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial gifts in Frank’s honor be made to Williamson College of the Trades, 106 S. New Middletown Road, Media PA 19063.
