Detour required for all but local traffic The Town of Estes Park and its contractor, Coulson Excavating Co., have begun the rehabilitation project on Fourth Street. Work will occur from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday.

No work will take place over Memorial Day weekend, May 24 - 27. Construction activities will initially include the demolition and replacement of concrete sidewalks, driveway access points, and curb and gutter.

Beginning in June, the contractor's work will shift to the asphalt roadway reconstruction. Weather permitting, work should be complete before July, in anticipation of the Independence Day holiday and the Rooftop Rodeo.

During construction, access to Fourth Street will be limited. Alternate travel routes will be required except for residents who live directly on Fourth or Fifth Streets, or those visiting the Estes Park Museum. Although barricades and detours will be in place, the contractor will maintain access for local traffic along Fourth or Fifth Streets.

Intermittent lane and driveway closures will be required to complete the roadway work. Access to the Estes Park Events Complex will remain available via Manford Avenue.

Access to the cluster mailboxes near the Events Center entrance will be disrupted. The Town is working with the postal service to provide a temporary mailbox site near the existing location, and outside of the construction zone.

Based on community feedback provided at the open house March 7, Public Works developed a design for Fourth Street that safely conveys vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles, incorporating ideas from the neighborhood.

Some of the current on-street parking will be eliminated, and the concrete sidewalks will be reconstructed at 10 feet-wide to provide pedestrian and bike travel lanes adjacent to the roadway.

For more information on the project, including design details, visit www.estes.org/FourthStreetRehab or contact the Public Works Department at 970-577-3587.

What You Need To Know About Parking Downtown This Summer The Town of Estes Park Parking & Transit Division will begin enforcing parking compliance in public parking areas on Memorial Day -- Monday, May 27. Time-limited parking will be enforced daily between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. in the following lots and on-street locations: Town Hall/Library lot East Riverside lot Riverside lot Post Office lot Moraine Avenue on-street Virginia lot On-street parking around Bond Park All other Town-owned parking facilities and marked on-street locations – nearly 70 percent of all available public parking – will continue to have no time limits and will remain available for allday parking. Motorists are encouraged to refer to the Downtown Parking Map at www.estes.org/parking and parking lot signage for site-specific information on time-limited parking. Parking enforcement will conclude Sept. 27.

Parking Ambassadors will be visible downtown beginning Memorial Day weekend, and can provide general information and directions to parking areas. Overnight parking is allowed in designated areas by permit only. Per-

mits are available for extended parking privileges for qualifying residents who live in the downtown area.

The Town is not introducing any new parking fees or time-restrictions in 2019, however staff will be using a combination of new technologies to enforce parking compliance and provide realtime parking availability information to the public, including fixed and mobile License Plate Recognition (LPR) and video counting equipment. Additional information on the Town's new technology, including what information will be collected and how it will be used, is available at www.estes.org/parking.

The fines for parking citations will remain at the current rates for the 2019 enforcement season. The Town is now offering the ability for online payment of parking citations, and will continue to offer a discount to encourage timely payment of citations. If a citation is paid within seven days of issuance, the citation fine will be reduced from $25 to $15. The exception to this discount is violations for unlawful use of spaces reserved for persons with disabilities.

For more information, visit www.estes.org/parking or contact Vanessa Solesbee, Parking & Transit Manager at 970-577-3957 or vsolesbee@estes.org.

Visit Mrs. Walsh's Garden during National Public Gardens Week Although the gate is closed to keep out large wildlife, Mrs. Walsh's Garden is open to the public from dawn to dusk at 322 W. Elkhorn Avenue.

Garden party takes place June 20 From May 13 to 19, the Mrs. Walsh's Garden Committee is encouraging residents to visit their local public gardens as a way of highlighting their importance as civic resources. In Estes Park, where spring is slow to arrive, there is not much sprouting yet at Mrs. Walsh's Garden at 322 W. Elkhorn Avenue. But the community can look forward to this public collection of native plants to provide beauty and inspiration as it flourishes in the coming months.

The committee will host an Open Garden Party at Mrs. Walsh's Garden June 20, 2019 from 4:30 p.m. to dusk. This event is free and open to the public with refreshments and light appetizers. Members of the committee will be stationed around the garden to answer questions about what is growing, blooming, where and most importantly why. Booths will be set up on the patio with more information on native plants, noxious weeds and other valuable gardening information. The Town's Parks Supervisor Brian Berg stated, "This will be the second annual Garden Party since it was gifted to the Town. It is a great opportunity to ask committee members about native plants and how to enhance your own personal gardens."

Mrs. Walsh's Garden was a gift to Estes Park residents and visitors. To prevent a

0.69-acre lot from being developed for commercial use, Judy Lamy purchased it in 1996 and began the public garden named for her grandmother, Mrs. Winifred Walsh. The land was donated to the town in 2017 and is now maintained by the Town's Parks Division with funds provided through an endowment established by Lamy. The garden is open to the public daily from dawn to dusk.

Although Mrs. Walsh's Garden was severely disturbed by the 2013 flood, significant restoration and enhancement has occurred. The garden has become an easily accessible resource to learn about plants native to this area of the Rocky Mountains. It also provides ideas for species that can be obtained commercially and shows how they can be used in landscaping for our town and personal gardens.

National Public Gardens Week was established by the American Public Gardens Association with the goal to drive local and national exposure to the importance of building vibrant, relevant gardens committed to community enrichment and environmental responsibility through community engagement, sustainable practices and conversation. For more information, please contact the Town of Estes Park Parks Division at 970-577-3783.

The 6 p.m. meeting of the Planning Commission begins with an opportunity for residents to address the Planning Commission on any general topic of interest. Study session agendas do not include public comment.

Avalanche Activity In Rocky Mountain National Park Several human triggered avalanches occurred last weekend in Rocky Mountain National Park in steep terrain. There were seven known individuals who were involved in avalanche activity above Emerald Lake. All of these individuals were accounted for and no known significant injuries were sustained. Park rangers have been in contact with the individuals involved to learn more details pertaining to these incidents.

These avalanches serve as a good reminder that although the avalanche danger rating is “Moderate,” heightened avalanche conditions can still exist on specific terrain features. Snowfall prior to the weekend, wind slab formation and warming temps increased the potential for avalanche activity.

Park staff saw a high volume of users who underestimated conditions. It is important for those who recreate in the back country to be knowledgeable concerning safe travel in avalanche terrain.

These users should also practice good situational awareness and decision mak-

ing and be aware there may be other users above or below them.

Park rangers are advising that backcountry users not travel on or below steep snow covered terrain in Rocky Mountain National Park. For more information on avalanche conditions in Colorado please visit the Colorado Avalanche Information Center at https://avalanche.state.co.us/ In addition, the Colorado Avalanche Information Center recently advised that “overhanging cornices are concerning and should be avoided.

Small cornice fall is triggering large avalanches especially on east-facing slopes. Also be wary of unsupportable snow where you are sinking past your ankles.”

Please see the following link for avalanche forecasts for the Northern Mountains of Colorado including Rocky Mountain National Park. avalanche.state.co.us/forecasts/regional-avalanche/northern-mountains/

The charge(s) are merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

The 2019 Poppy Day will be held on Friday, May 24, to herald the beginning of the Memorial Day weekend. Estes Park’s American Legion Auxiliary Unit 119 will observe the day by distributing poppies from 10 a.m. until noon outside of Safeway, and from noon until 2 p.m. outside of the post office.

Please come by one of these locations to share in the commemoration of our nation’s heroes.

Each year, the American Legion Auxiliary’s three-quarters of a million members – direct female relatives of wartime veterans – raise more than $5.5 million through the distribution of the symbolic red poppies to support activeduty military, veterans, and their families. The red poppy has become a nationally recognized symbol of sacrifice worn

by Americans since World War I to honor those who served and died for our country in all wars. It reminds Ameri-

cans of the sacrifices made by our veterans while protecting our freedoms. The red poppy came to symbolize the blood shed protecting Americans’ freedom following publication of the wartime poem “In Flanders Fields” written by Lt. Col. John McCrae, M.D., while serving on the front in WWI, to honor soldiers killed in battle.

The Auxiliary’s 8,000+ neighborhood units distribute poppies throughout the year, especially on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Volunteers do not sell poppies – they “distribute” them, with a request that the person receiving the poppy make a donation to the poppy fund to support the Auxiliary’s veteran outreach programs.

Please join Auxiliary Unit 119 in honoring the sacrifices that have been made on behalf of all Americans.

Celebrating Beloved Museum Volunteer Marshall Hesler For over 25 years, Saturday afternoon gallery visitors instantly fell in love with the Estes Park Museum because of the man behind the desk greeting them. Marshall Hesler had an ability to establish instant rapport with people, through his quick wit, warm smile, and story-telling abilities. Anyone could see the effect Marshall had on visitors by the smiles on their faces upon leaving the shop area.

Marshall served multiple areas of the Estes Park community since he moved here permanently in 1992. With his recent passing last February, his family decided they would like funds to be donated to the Estes Park Museum as a memorial to Marshall.

Marshall had a long history in Estes Park, first visiting as a child with his mother at the Fall River Lodge, returning every summer, and eventually becoming a Cheley Camper. His stories were numerous and always entertaining, which he would share with visitors as their children would try to solve the “classic horseshoe puzzle” he always carried with him.

Staff wants to salute Marshall for making the museum a better, more enjoyable place and for adding laughter to so many visitors while also recognizing the family wish for a memorial fund.

Starting in winter of 2018, the Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc. began fundraising to re-do the gallery welcome film. Because this film is viewed by thousands of gallery visitors every year, and Marshall hit the play button for two and a half decades, the family wish is to have any donated funds be restricted to this project. Please feel free to give towards the “Marshall Hesler – Welcome Film” that will contribute towards the fund that has already raised over $4,000 towards the new film that will make its debut when the gallery re-opens May 31.

Donations can be made payable to and mailed to EPMF&F, 200 4th Street, Estes Park, CO 80517.

Anyone with questions may contact the Museum Friends at info@estesparkmuseumfriends.org Thank you to the family and ever so many friends that will make this possible.

All who contribute will be invited to a special Movie Premiere event upon the completion of the new gallery welcome film.

Attendees will get to hear from filmmaker Nick Mollé and museum staff about the project, while being among the first to preview a film that will be seen by thousands of visitors in the years to come.

Estes Valley Economic Development Strategy 2019 Progress Report By: Estes Park EDC In 2015, Estes Park EDC and the Town of Estes Park completed a five-year comprehensive economic development strategy (CEDS) for the Estes Valley. The strategy was built on a foundation of extensive research and stakeholder input with more than 800 residents of the Estes Valley participated in the planning process.

Between January and April 2019, Avalanche Consulting conducted a review of information related to the Estes Valley’s performance over the past three years to include data analysis of demographics and economic progress. Estes Park EDC also facilitated four workshops with community stakeholders (one for each goal) in which participants discussed successes and future priorities. On April 22 and 23 of this year, Estes Park EDC welcomed Avalanche Consulting back for a three-year update on the status of the Estes Valley Economic Development Strategy.

Economic Performance Highlights In the past three years, every sector except for Retail experienced job growth. While progress has been made on the housing front (workforce housing being one of the strategy’s top three priorities), some systemic issues remain. Housing costs continued to rise and a shortage of workforce housing has resulted (in part) in a 13% loss of young families and a 7% decline in the proportion of residents in their prime working age (25-44 years old). These trends indicate that development of workforce housing should remain a priority as well as investments in amenities that appeal to a younger demographic, such as childcare.

The Estes Valley has made significant strides in implementing the strategy, and progress is visible on many fronts. Physical Infrastructure accomplishments include funding and plans in place for reconstruction of roadways under the Federal Lands Access (FLAP) Program grant, smart meters and other utility investments, increased downtown parking capacity and completion of the Estes Valley Community Center.

New priorities include continued construc-

tion of the broadband network, securing funding for flood mitigation, continued investment in parking, transportation and smart systems.

Business Climate accomplishments include building height increases for workforce housing, density bonuses, improved permitting processes and increased shoulder season and winter events. New priorities include filling the Town’s Building Department Director vacancy, updating the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan, reducing permitting and development approval times, updating the Town’s incentives toolkit, growing the Arts District and establishing an Estes Valley Chamber of Commerce.

Entrepreneurship and Innovation accomplishments include the Estes Park EDC completing an E-Center business plan, winning grant funding to launch the E-Center, hiring a full time E-Center Program Manager and local brewers and distillers establishing a Craft Spirits Association. New priorities include continuing to develop the E-Center, planning and launching a revolving loan program, encouraging experienced business people to mentor local entrepreneurs and engaging in a marketing campaign to attract freelancers and entrepreneurs to the Estes Valley.

Workforce and Education accomplishments include the Town permitting 200+ new home constructions since 2015, approval of new workforce housing projects, organizational cooperation to address workforce housing needs, a Childcare Needs Assessment, an Estes Early Childhood Education (Estes ECE) nonprofit and new K-12 programs like CareerWise.

New priorities include acceleration of workforce housing, a continued push for higher wage jobs, continued planning for childcare centers, and investment in high quality lifestyle amenities that help attract and retain talent.

When I come back in my next life I want to have a tool named after me.

Other people have done it (in this life): Phillips-head screwdriver, Allen wrench, plumb Bob, Jack hammer.

I thought about this recently as I was trying to make a flathead screwdriver work with a Phillips-head screw. (Don’t waste your time trying this. It doesn’t work very well. Get the right screwdriver for the right screw from the start and you will finish the job without a single swear word. Use the longest handled driver you can, too, a lesson I learned from a handyman when I bought my first house in 1993, a 100-year-old charmer that needed lots of TLC—the house, not the handyman.)

Who was Phillips of the Phillips-head screwdriver, anyway?

Henry Phillips did not invent the Phillips-head screwdriver. John P. Thompson did in 1932, along with the crosshead screwdriver in 1933. (My question: for that one year when the crosshead screw had been invented but not the driver, how did they screw in the screw?)

What Phillips did was buy the patent from Thompson and create the Phillips Screw Company. He was a better marketer than Thompson so he managed to get automotive companies to buy his product and use it in assembly lines.

Phillips gets the credit today for something Thompson invented. It’s kind of like Michael Jackson buying the rights to the Beatles’ music. (Don’t worry, Paul McCartney eventually bought them back. But he had to buy back songs he wrote. Seems rather screwy. Yep, pun intended.)

Twenty-eight years before the Phillipshead screw came into existence, P.L. Robertson invented the square-drive screw. It’s still called the Robertson screw today—and I don’t think I’ve ever used one. History notes that the first screwdriver (a flat-blade) was invented in 1744 but there are no records giving credit to its inventor. I. M. Flathead?

There’s also a cheesehead screw. What do you suppose the guy who invented that one was called? (Just so you know, a cheesehead screw is like a flathead screw

except the slot runs across the entire head, from edge to edge.)

The Allen wrench was developed by the Allen Manufacturing Company in 1910. It is also called a hex key, a much more bewitching name.

(The “hex” part of the name is short for hexagonal, but I prefer the thought of casting a spell on someone using a hex key. I can think of several instances when it would have come in quite handy.)

There are other tools with fanciful or quirky names: the spud wrench (made out of potatoes) wing nut (evokes an image of a birdloving person who feeds our feathered friends in the summer. Although his intentions are good, this act simply provides a bird buffet for animals. About 2 billion birds are killed by cats each year!) sledge hammer (a sledge is a sled, so what’s with the hammer?) bastard file (we’ll leave that one alone) aviation snip (although useful I’m sure, it sounds surgical and not altogether pleasant), drill bit (this tickles my tongue. Clarification: saying this tickles my tongue.)

There’s a macaroni tool, and that’s its real name. It’s a carving tool, and I’m guessing it’s called a macaroni tool because the wood shavings it makes are curly like macaroni. And there are tools with animal references. One is called a cat’s paw, used to pull out nails when a claw hammer won’t do. You’ll find them hanging from the pegboard in the garage, next to the monkey wrench and the bull-nose pliers.

Finally, my all-time favorite is the stud sensor, which could also be called the dude detector. This is one tool every woman needs in her toolbox. That, and the above-mentioned hex key for when the stud sensor/dude detector sounds, notifying the user that the dude is a dud.

To do this, we will host a public meeting Wednesday, May 22, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the Town Board Room of Town Hall, 170 MacGregor Ave. The meeting will consist of a short presentation fol-

lowed by an opportunity for participants to ask questions and provide feedback.

It is important for us to hear from everyone regarding these important issues! If you are unable to attend the public meeting on May 22, please watch the meeting live or recorded and send us your thoughts and feedback. Send us your thoughts by May 28 at 8 a.m. to chtf@estes.org.

Our next step is to present our findings and recommendations to the Town Board at a study session, tentatively scheduled for June 11. For more information on the Workforce Housing and Childcare Task Force, please visit www.estes.org/chtf.

Science Behind The Scenery Presentation Post-Fire Vegetation Response At Chickaree Lake Rocky Mountain National Park invites you to a special program at 7 p.m.

Wednesday, May 22, at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center. Join recent Kansas State University graduate Barrie Chileen as she shares her research on vegetation response to wildfires over the past 2,500 years at Chickaree Lake on the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park.

While it is easy to see the modern impacts of wildfire on forests in the Rocky Mountains, less is known about how fire has impacted forests in the past, but how are we able to see the impacts of wildfire thousands of years ago?

In this Science Behind the Scenery presentation, Ms. Chileen will share her master’s thesis work that reconstructs past wildfire and vegetation through materials deposited in lake mud to better understand what future fire regimes and climate scenarios may hold for Colorado Rocky Mountain forests. This presentation will unveil the hidden treasures within lake

mud and show how pollen is more than just the source of spring sniffles. Ms. Chileen is a recent graduate from Kansas State University where she received her master’s degree in geography. She is extremely passionate about studying plants and wildfire and is excited to share her research with you.

This presentation is the first in a five-part Science Behind the Scenery speaker series, brought to you by the Continental Divide Research Learning Center at Rocky Mountain National Park, and the Rocky Mountain Conservancy. Join us each month this summer to learn more about park research, and what it tells us about the park and its resources. All programs are free and open to the public.

This program is free and open to the public. For more information about Rocky Mountain National Park please visit www.nps.gov/romo or call the park’s Information Office at (970) 586-1206.

Harper says the Courageous Grandpar-

enting conference is more than another event, but part of a larger, growing grandparent movement. “I don’t want this to be just another program,” he says.

“I want to launch a movement of courageous grandparents resolved to link arms with other grandparents to build a legacy of faith that outlives them. It will require courage, understanding the times in which we live, and wisdom to know what to do.

This conference casts the vision so that leaders from this community can carry the vision and build the movement to live for the next generations.”

Snacks are provided Friday night, a continental breakfast and lunch is provided Saturday. Cost for the conference is $25.00 per family. You may register by going to the Mountain View Bible Fellowship website at www.mvbf.org, contacting the office at 970-586-3395, or just drop in to sign up.

Estes Valley Community Center To Temporarily Close May 20 to 24 It is hard to believe it has been more than a year since the Estes Valley Community Center (EVCC) opened its doors. But just like great things come to those who wait—like waiting more than six decades for an awardwinning recreation center in Estes Park—waiting one week for EVCC staff to perform annual maintenance, deep cleaning and facility upgrades will help ensure the building remains in good working order for a long time.

The Estes Valley Community Center will be closed to the public from Monday, May 20 to Friday May 24 so the staff can complete a variety of activities that are too difficult due to safety or health reasons with the facility open to the public. The facility will reopen at 8 a. m. on Saturday, May 25.

This time of year was selected based on the availability of vendors, a slowdown in scheduled indoor activities, and when there are typically fewer people in the facility. During this closure there will be no Cubz Den, open swim, open gym, senior services activities, or access to the golf simulator.

“A deep cleaning of the

recreation center is a necessary evil in the management of a seven-day-a-week operation, ” said Ivana Knudson, Guest Services Manager. “We have rearranged all schedules so that we can complete the necessary work during this time frame with as minimal impact on patrons as possible. ” The scheduled work includes: • Cleaning and finishing the floors of the upper and lower fitness rooms • Draining lap pool for deep cleaning • Restriping the parking lot • Carpet cleaning throughout the building • Cleaning and finishing the gym floor For more information about the Estes Valley Community Center, call Ivana Knudson at 970-586-8191 or email her at ivanak@evrpd.com.

Crossroads Ministry Has The Perfect Match For You!

Twisted Pine-Long Time Estes Park Retailer Announces Retirement Sale To Begin Thursday, May 16th After Aft f er 46 years in business ft business, long time lo local retailer, The Twisted Pine will begin its final season with a huge sale. They will celebrate the retirement of owners Henry and Rayann Glover with a retirement sale starting May 16th. All merchandise will be on sale.

The Twisted Pine offers a beautiful and complete line of men's and women's leather apparel and accessories, a variety of southwest and cabin home decor from rugs, weavings, pelts, wall fixtures and much more. They also offer unique and compelling Native American jewelry and trendy costume jewelry as well as fashionable apparel for men and women.

Henry and Rayann announced that this is their last season. They have been part of the fantastic growth that tourist have brought to Estes Park. Henry stated, “Rayann and I have been part of the Estes Park community for over 46 years.

We have really been lucky to share in the growth of this community, but now is the time to begin the next phase of our lives.”

To thank all of their loyal local customers, the Twisted Pine is offering them an additional 10% off sale prices for four days only beginning on Thursday, May 16". This way they have first choice on all the wonderful merchandise and have the opportunity for greater savings.

Everything in the store will be on sale.

They want to sell everything before they close their doors for good at the end of

the season season.

Rayann says, "We want to thank all of our wonderful and loyal employees and customers who have supported us over the years. We will miss them very much, but now is the time for Henry and me to explore what lies ahead.”

The store is located at 450 Moraine Ave. in Estes Park, Colorado.

Brian Schaffer who serves as the Executive Director of Crossroads Ministry has a few words to share about finding the Perfect Match. “I know there is a website to match people up who are looking for Mr. Right or Mrs. Right and from what I understand there have been some great relationships tio established est through this thr matching proma gram. As I was gra thinking about thi this, my mind bethi gan to envision a website that would match neighbors towe gether in such a way as to meet all the needs in our community. A neighbor who has a need is matched with a neighbor who has the resources to meet the need. If we could figure this out, then we would live in a community with no unmet needs. It all begins with a willingness to enter into a relationship with someone. Once we get to know a person, then we begin to understand more fully the circumstances of life they’re living in and how we might be able to assist them.

This is what Crossroads Ministry has been doing for over 37 years and we want to continue providing this type of relationship building effort. I have been amazed at the capacity of people who recover quickly from difficulties and how they overcome adverse circumstances in life. Research shows that the greatest factor in people who exhibit high levels of resiliency is having a significant person in their life who believe in them.

Neighbors helping Neighbors is possible as we look to be matched up with someone who needs exactly what we’ve been given. This covers a variety of gifts and abilities, so keep your eyes open for opportunities.” For the next few weeks we have our financial matching program going on where your money is doubled when you give to our Neighbors in Need challenge. Please send your donation to P.O. Box 3616, Estes Park, CO 80517, or give securely online at www. CrossroadsEP.org

Performances of Old Hams, by Bob Rinfret, directed by Jeff Miller are scheduled for July 12, 13, 14, 19, 20 and In Search of the Holy Grill, by Craig Williams and Superhero Sanitarium, by Scott Haan, directed by Lawrence Sage for July 26, 27, 28 and August 2, 3.

Old Hams, is set in the Ophelia L. Davis Home for actors, musicians and singers in Burbank, California. The residents have called this home for over 40 years, but their friend and former owner of the home, Ophelia Davis, died leaving the older performers in a terrible predicament. The taxes are due and if they can’t be raised, the son of Ophelia’s attorney, Ben, will sell the house so he can make millions when the land is used for a shopping mall. At wit’s end, the performers turn to Ophelia’s granddaughter and a nephew for help. Using all their acting skills, some clever disguises and a missing lottery ticket, they manage to turn a garage sale into a hilarious showdown. Cast: two men, four women who can play 70-80 yrs. old, one male 50s, one male & one female 20s and one any age.

In Search of the Holy Grill is a melodrama that tells the story of Char Cole who wants the land the church sits on to build a casino. He sends a bogus mortgage bill demanding the church pay a $10,000 balloon payment in an effort to scare the congregation into selling him the property for a fraction of what it is worth. Minister Paul Pitt, choir director, Barbie Cue and several choir members quickly decide to submit Barbie Cue’s mother’s secret barbecue recipe to a contest and even open a barbeque restaurant in the church to raise money.

Meanwhile, Miss Phit, the bumbling church secretary is constantly getting the

bulletin and newsletters wrong, sending misleading and funny information out to the congregation. However, she is also the one who saves the day. Cast: four men, five women, two either.

Superhero Sanitarium, a comedy in one act will replace The Monkey Paw. In Superhero Sanitarium, a big city reporter researching a story about the state of modern mental health facilities finds herself at a hospital populated by a unique group of quirky patients who envision themselves to be crime-fighting superheroes, each with a different superpower. three men, three women. Lois Lancaster, a young, attractive female reporter. Speed Freak, real name Charles Raimi, thinks he can run at incredible speeds. Dim Bulb, real name Alexander O’Neil, is a childlike patient who thinks he has the ability to turn off lights with his brain. Mental, real name Susan Whedon, thinks she has the ability to read minds. Kevin Bendis, much less flamboyant and quirky than the other patients, doesn’t have a code name, but believes he has super powers. Dr. Gail Eisner, the kindly hospital administrator in her 50s or 60s. Other characters, including the reporter, can be played by actors of any age.

Auditions are Sunday, May 19, 5:30-7 p.m. and Monday, May 20, 6:30-8 p.m. at the Baldpate Inn, 4900 S. St. Vrain (Hwy. 7). Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script and actors may audition for one, two or all three plays.

Jennifer Salinas Awarded Bank Of Estes Park Student Legacy Award

Estes Park High School and Bank of Estes Park are proud to award Jennifer Salinas the 2019 Bank of Estes Park Student Legacy Award, drawn from a pool that included all Students of the Week from the entire school year. This award allows the winner to choose any Estes Park High School program, and funds $500 toward that program, in order to help create and grow a sense of legacy and of giving back to the community among our local students. Jennifer has selected the EPHS Girls Basketball Program to receive the $500 award.

According to principal, Chuck Scott, “We are incredibly proud of Jennifer, and of all of our Students of the Week this year—we love the recognition of the

good things that so many of our students are accomplishing.”

Scott Applegate, Chief Credit Officer at Bank of Estes Park, commented, “We created this award with outstanding stu-

dents exactly like Jennifer Salinas in mind—what if we could recognize them, but also provide them a way to very visibly give back, to make their school, their community, a better place, with a meaningful monetary benefit, and a permanent plaque to hang in the

school for future classes to see and emulate? So, the Bank of Estes Park Student Legacy Award was born…”

Jenny’s favorite quote, by Harry Styles, is “Treat people with kindness,” and Jenny added “A little kindness can take you a long way!” And in this case, that outstanding attitude and excellent performance took her all the way to winning the 2019 Bank of Estes Park Student Legacy Award. A plaque will hang in EPHS, memorializing this accomplishment for all future classes to see.

Congratulations to her, to all of the winners of the Student of the Week Award, and to all the outstanding, local students at Estes Park High School! Go Bobcats!

Father And Daughter Graduate University Of Colorado Boulder Together Rick and Lexie Life

Father and daughter, Rick and Lexie Life both graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder on Thursday, May 9th.

Lexie earned her Bachelor of Arts in Humanities degree, with an emphasis in Anthropology and Music.

Rick is the Professional Standards Sergeant with the Estes Park Police Department and has worked there for 22 years.

Rick earned his Master of Science in Organizational Leadership degree which he has been working on for two years. He said, “Graduating with Lexie was one of happiest days of my life. I was walking on air all day; I'm not sure I have touched the ground yet. My wife, Sandee and I are so proud of her and her accomplish-

ments.

Sandee Life said, “There are no words to describe the incredible amount of pride I felt at their achievements. I was overwhelmed with joy for them both.”

To add to this special occasion, Mother Nature provided a heavy, wet snow the day of their outdoor ceremony and the event became known as “Snowmencement.” Rick added, “Graduating in the snow was perfect ‘Colorado.’ It was beautiful. Of course, the undergrads couldn't resist letting the snowballs fly.

It made for great fun and memories.”

What a wonderful milestone to hit together!

Congratulations, Rick and Lexie!

Westernaires Present A Wild West Show Like You've Never Seen!

Mark your calendar for June 21st & 22nd at 7:00 p.m., in the Estes Park Event Center, Rooftop Rodeo Arena Spend the evening with the talented youth of Colorado’s own Westernaires riding organization as they present a Wild West show extravaganza like you’ve never seen. Every year, the entire performance division of Westernaires descends upon Estes Park to impress audiences with their: colorful and precise drill riding, world-class trick riding, true-to-history Cavalry act, daring charioteers, and so much more! It’s hard to believe that these regular “city kids” are so accomplished.

Founded in 1949, Westernaires has been training kids aged 9 to 19 in the ways of the old West. Some of their focus includes self-respect, responsibility, and leadership, all while working in a family-

friendly, equine environment.

With their flashy costumes, snappy music, and daring execution of skill, you too will see why the Westernaires have been called the “best precision mounted drill team at speed, anywhere in the world.” These shows sell out quickly, so be sure to arrive early. Performances begin at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday evenings, June 21st and 22nd, 2019 at the Estes Park Fairgrounds, Rooftop Rodeo arena.

General admission is $10 and box seats are $15. Spectators under three years of age are admitted free.

Estes Valley Chamber Singers Concert This Sunday, May 19th at PCCR

The Estes Valley Chamber Singers, under the direction of Rich Dixon, will be presenting their annual spring concert this Sunday, May 19th at 2:00 p.m. Rich has put together a wide variety of music, which will have something for everyone.

This program will be quite different from those in the past. The first half will feature soloists Scott Anderson, Anna Baker, and a wonderful find, Henry Thomas. Henry is 12 years old and in the seventh grade here in Estes. He will be the featured soloist in Karl Jenkins’ Pie Jesu from his “Requiem.�

The program opens with Henryk Mikolaj Gorecki’s Totus Tuus which was composed for the High Mass held by Pope John Paul II in Victory Square, Warsaw, on 14 June 1987. Pater Noster (Our Father) by the Philippine composer John August Pamintuan is next on the program. This piece was the winner of the European Grand Prix for Choral Singing competition held in Arezzo, Italy in August 2007. Interestingly enough, it was composed while he was visiting Colorado that same year.

The Welsh composer, Karl Jenkins, is known primarily as a composer of film music. However, he was moved to compose a Requiem and the Pie Jesu is probably one of the most familiar pieces from that work. Those who know the Pie Jesu from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Requiem will find the similarities very interesting.

Our next composer is Morten Lauridsen. The Chamber Singers have sung two of his more famous pieces, O Magnum Mysterium and the piece you will hear on this concert, Sure On This Shining Night.

It is always a surprise when in the midst of a program of complicated music, that it is the simplest of pieces that elicits the most emotional response, and so it is with our next piece, Steal Away.

Not only is it quite sparse in tonal texture, but also it is in only three parts; a far cry from the first two pieces which divides the Singers in to eight parts.

Here arranger Brian Tate manages to get right to the core of the piece, and it is one of the Singers favorites.

Featured next on the program is Scott Anderson who will sing Green Pastures

by Wilfrid Sanderson and La donna e mobile by Giuseppe Verdi. Green Pastures takes the Singers’ conductor way back in time. This was one of three pieces he sang in his scholarship audition for Southeast Missouri State University back in 1959, and the start of his career in music.

The second half has placed the Singers in a musical area a bit unfamiliar to them; jazz and rock. No, that is not a typo. The program will end with Toto’s Africa. In addition to Africa, other numbers in the second half are Moon River, Make Someone Happy, When You Wish Upon a Star, and Anna Baker singing Let it Go from the Disney movie “Frozen.� This program promises to be a lot of fun for all.

This Sunday, May 19th come join the Estes Valley Chamber Singers at 2:00 p.m. in the sanctuary of the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies for an afternoon of music. The cost of this concert is $10.00 and tickets are only available at the door.

Meeting Of Quaker/Unitarian Group The local meeting of the Quaker/Unitarian group is on Sunday mornings at the US Bank meeting room. Quaker silence is from 10-10:30. From 10:30-11 is social time. Then from 11-12 is a formal presentation and discussion. On Sunday, the 19th of May discussion will be led by

Jim Linderholm. He will be discussing the very interesting book Sapiens by Yuval Harari. The book details the author’s understanding of the history of human development .

NO LONGER STRANGERS…WITH OUR CHILDREN A story in the Bible illustrates one of the causes of many of our societal problems today.

It tells of a woman whose only son dies suddenly. The distraught mother goes looking for the prophet, Elisha, to tell him the news. The prophet’s servant inquires: “Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with your son?” Her response: “It is well!”…only later to admit, “It is not well”. Once the truth is out, healing can take place.

I believe her initial response reflects what happens all too often in this day of school shootings by students and other young people. Many parents are either in denial about their children or totally unaware of what is going on in their children’s lives. Some who say, “It is well!’ about their child and then learn that their ‘well’ child was the one that pulled the trigger that took a life, show how out-of-touch they are with their children. How often after the arrest you hear a parent say, “But, he’s really a good boy!” as the ambulances whisk away his victims. The shooters at Columbine had accumulated guns, made bombs, and planned the attack at home, with the parents totally oblivious of their deadly plans. Would their response to: “Is it well with your boys?” been “It is well!”

This happens so frequently in cases of suicide. Parents are often totally unaware that their child is depressed and contemplating suicide…one of the leading causes of teen deaths in our time…until they discover the ugly truth after it occurs.

It doesn’t just happen with deadly things like shootings and suicide. A policeman, serving in a Denver-area school, confronted a boy recently about him ‘touching girls’ inappropriately.

As they talked, he learned that the boy spends hours each week in his room watching pornography, fantasizing about girls and sex. The officer visited with the boy’s parents and told them of their son’s ‘pastime’ and told them they’d better get him into counseling or the next visit by an officer might be with handcuffs and a ride in the police car. They were appalled at their son’s actions, totally unaware of his ‘hobby’.

Such alienation can creep into any family. In ‘No Longer Strangers’, Bruce Larsen tells of entering his son’s room looking for paper and noticing a poem written by his son, showing how alone and alienated he felt in his world. When his son arrived home, Bruce said, “I read your poem today. Do you mind?” His son said, “No. Did you like it?” Bruce said, “I loved it! But I never realized how you felt. Forgive me for not hearing and relating and understanding you, like a father should.”

From then on, Bruce and his son, Pete, spent hours talking about who they were, their needs and loneliness they both wrestled with. Bruce said: “What struck me most was the enormity of our sin in being unwilling or unable to hear the silent screams of loneliness from those with whom we live.”

So, what can be done to help improve things? One news crew was impressed by a group of teens with arms around each other praying. Wouldn’t it be great if families were known for that as well? It’s been said: “The family that prays together, stays together.” Secondly, as I watched relieved parents walking away from the scene, hugging their child, I wondered if that is typical…or just in a time of crisis. A bumper sticker came to mind: “Have you hugged your child today?” A third motto I remember hearing: “The family that plays together, stays together.” In many families children that want special time with their parents find that they regularly get a ‘busy signal’. Hopefully, not yours.

So, “Is it well with you?...with your child?” Be real. Be sure you’re in touch. (Bob)

Allenspark Considered A Haven To Songwriters

Ask most songwriters what they value most, and they’ll tell you that they love having an audience that really listens to their music and lyrics, instead of a venue where people yell over the band. The Old Gallery in Allenspark is fast becoming a favorite venue among songwriters, thanks to the attentive audiences, great acoustics and the fact that there’s a Steinway on which to play.

“It’s pretty sweet,” said singer songwriter Shanna in a Dress, who is hosting Songwriters in the Round/Women in Song at The Old Gallery on Saturday, May 18 at 7 p.m. “The audience at The Old Gallery is one of the best in the Rocky Mountain region,” she said.

“They’re respectful, tip the artists well and really appreciate original music.”

There will be a lot of original music at Songwriters in the Round, the first premier event at The Old Gallery this season. The quirky Boulder songstress will be joined by three other notable female singer songwriters: Megan Burtt, Tiffany Christopher and Pamela Machala. They will take turns playing their original songs and sharing the stories behind them.

Tiffany Christopher is a singer-songwriter-guitar-rocker.

With vocal influences as varied as Ella Fitzgerald to Ani she’s been performing her unique mixture of rock, pop and with vivid imagery since age 16. www.tiffanychristopher.com.

Pamela Machala creates a delicious style of indie piano pop, influenced by her love of jazz and R&B. Her smooth, smoky voice and impressive piano chops recall the timeless pop sensibilities of Carole King, the subtle fusion of Norah Jones, and the eclectic lyricism of Regina Spektor. www.pamelamachala.com Megan Burtt attended the famed Berklee College of Music and has won numerous songwriting awards, including the Rocky Mountain Folk Festival, Kerrville New Folk Competition and SW Region Mountain NewSong competition. She tours nationally, opening for the likes of Marc Cohn, Brett Dennen, Lissie and Leanne Rimes. She’s also been a featured artist with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. She just released her third full-length solo album. www.Meganburtt.com.

Shanna in a Dress delivers a smashing combination of humor, truth and poignancy, all wrapped up in a sweet

voice. She does “snarky folk pop” and takes on complex subject matters with smart, yet accessible lyrics and catchy melodies. She is in the process of recording her latest album, funded by a Kickstarter campaign that culminated at her last performance at The Old Gallery in 2018. “The Old Gallery audience took my fundraising over the top. It is a community that really supports songwriters and the arts,” she said. She just received Honorable Mention at the Telluride Troubadour songwriter competition. www.shannainadress.com.

Tickets to Songwriters in the Round are $15 each and available at The Old Gallery or on their brand new website at www.theoldgallery.org. There is a cash bar. Adults only.

“We’re so pleased with our new website that allows patrons to purchase tickets online,” said The Old Gallery Events and Operations Manager Peggy Mauerman.

“All of our events are listed on a handyto-use online calendar so it’s easy to view all of our activities, premier events and services.”

Other music events scheduled at The Old Gallery include Red, White & Bluegrass, featuring Chain Station and catering by the Dunraven Inn on Sunday, June 30 at 6 p.m. Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door. Limited tickets available. On Saturday, July 27, it’s Hogabluesa Blues, BBQ & Brews featuring Mojomama and catering by Smokin’ Dave’s BBQ. $40 advance, $45 at the door and cash bar. Mojomama was a semi-finalist in this year’s International Blues Challenge in Memphis. Limited tickets available, and it’s a sell-out every year.

“We’re excited to have Left Hand Brewery as a signature sponsor for Red, White & Bluegrass and Hogabluesa Blues, BBQ & Brews this year,” added Mauerman. Other sponsors include the Estes Park Village Thrift Shop and Rambo's Liquors.

The Old Gallery is a center for community, arts and visitors and is located at 14863 Hwy. 7 in Allenspark. It is home to 15 accomplished artists and provides entertainment, educational and social services to the Peak to Peak mountain communities. It is only 20 minutes from Estes Park and Lyons. To view a complete list of all events and to purchase tickets visit www.theoldgallery.org.

PUBLIC WELCOME!

Time To ‘Cycle’ Through Some Investment Ideas If you’ve noticed an increase in bicyclerelated events lately, it may be because May is recognized as “Bike Month” – and some cities even observe a specific Bike Week. Of course, bicycling is good exercise and an environmentally friendly method of transportation, but it can also teach us some lessons about investing.

Here are a few to consider: • Put the brakes on risky moves. To keep themselves safe, experienced cyclists regularly do two things: They keep their brakes in good shape and they don’t take unnecessary risks, such as whipping around blind curves. As an investor, you can combine these two actions by putting your own “brakes” on risky moves. For example, if you’re tempted to buy some hot investment you heard about, you may want to think twice before acting. Why? In the first place, most “hot” investments don’t stay hot for too long, and may be cooling off by the time you hear of them. And even more important, they might not be appropriate for either your risk tolerance or your need to diversify your portfolio.

When you invest, you can’t eliminate all risks, but you can reduce them by avoiding impulsive moves and sticking with a disciplined, long-term strategy based on your needs and goals.

• Get regular financial tune-ups. Avid cyclists keep their bikes in good shape through regular maintenance. When you invest, you usually don’t need to make a lot of drastic moves, but you should periodically “tune up” your investment portfolio, possibly with the help of a financial professional, during regular reviews. Such a tune-up may involve any number of steps, but the main goal is to update your portfolio so it reflects where you’re at in life – your goals, risk toler-

ance, earnings and family situation.

• Protect yourself from bumps in the road. All serious bicyclists – and all bicyclists serious about keeping their heads intact – wear helmets when they are riding, because they know the dangers of rough terrain. Likewise, you need to protect yourself from the bumps in the road that could impede your progress toward your objectives. For starters, life insurance can help your family meet some essential needs – pay the mortgage, educate children, and so on – in case something were to happen to you. And you may need disability insurance to replace your income temporarily if you became injured or ill and can’t work for a while. Also, you might want long-term care insurance, which can help you guard against the potentially catastrophic costs of an extended stay in a nursing home or the services of a home health care worker.

• Don’t stop pedaling. When going long distances, bicyclists ride through rain, wind, sun and mosquitoes. They elude angry motorists and they change flat tires. In short, they persist in reaching their destinations. As an investor, you will pursue some goals that you may not reach until far in the future, such as a comfortable retirement, so you too need to demonstrate determination and persistence by continuing to invest, in good markets and bad, through unsettling political and global events – and even despite your own occasional doubts.

Whether you’re an avid cyclist or not, following these principles can help keep your financial wheels moving along the road to your goals.

Friend of Wildlife Stickers Des By: Kris Hazelton

There is a group of friends in Estes Park who love our wildlife and don’t want to see any of them killed due to the negligence of residents and businesses who do not secure their trash. They have come up with a novel idea to help save our bears.

The group designed this colorful sticker which they hope businesses will want to display on their front window, on their dumpster, at their front desk, etc. The sticker is a Gold Star Award for being a Friend of Wildlife. The group says, “Being responsible with our trash 100% of the time can really go a long way to help save our bears. This sticker was created to remind everyone to be more responsible while living or recreating here, in bear country.”

They added, “We want to remind residents and visitors to practice proper food storage and trash disposal at all times. Intentional or unintentional feeding of bears can result in the bear being killed and/or fines for not complying with our Wildlife Protection Ordinance.

Every year, law enforcement and Colorado wildlife officers respond to hundreds of calls in which bears may pose a public safety threat and/or are damaging property. In some cases, the animals are

Penelope’s World Famous Burgers and Fries euthanized. We can all become part of the solution and help us save our Estes Park bears by earning a Gold Star Award.”

In order to obtain this sticker, businesses must agree to always secure their trash in a bear proof dumpster or trash receptacle. They also must instruct and work with their employees and/or coworkers to do the same. Leaving a dumpster or trash receptacle open, even once, is the same as leaving the front

door wide open and is a sure way to kill our wildlife.

Black bears have a highly specialized sense of smell, which lead them to where they may quickly find an overflowing garbage can or someone’s leftover hamburger and French fries.

We can help bears stay out of human territory and stick to their natural diet by properly disposing of leftover food and garbage. Garbage is irresistible to a hungry black bear. The presence of available garbage encourages bears to change their normal movement patterns and “hang out” in non-traditional areas.

Tim Nicholson recently gave out some of these Gold Star Friend of Wildlife stickers to several businesses who have committed to keeping our wildlife safe.

Tim said, “The business owners and emA big “thank you” goes out to Antonio’s ployees were so excited to get their Real New York Pizza, Hunter’s Chop sticker, they were beaming! They were House, Olympus Lodge, Penelope’s all so happy to be recognized for keeping World Famous Burgers and Fries and their trash secure.”

Calling All Cars-Be Bear Aware!

By: Kris Hazelton

The bears are out and it’s time to take some precautions in and around our homes and our vehicles.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife tells us there have been several reports of a bear(s) getting into vehicles along Fall River Road the past two weeks.

One car in particular was parked in a driveway near Old Man Mountain and was completely totalled after a bear spent five to six hours in the vehicle (overnight). The bear panicked trying to escape and the entire interior was ruined and completely totaled out from the bear trying to claw and/or chew his way out. In the morning, they discovered the bear in the vehicle and they quickly opened the door while the frightened bear ran away.

CPW recommends taking anything with a scent out of your car, such as food, soft drinks, makeup and other items. CPW also asks that you ensure your car is locked. The vehicle doors had been left unlocked overnight.

This is a good reminder for us all to always lock your vehicle (though some bears have even learned to open locked

doors) and make sure that you don’t leave any food or food wrappers of any kind in your vehicle that might attract a bear. (not even empty latte cups!) All windows should be rolled up tight, with no open gaps so a bear cannot put his paw/claw into the opening and shatter your window to gain entry.

Even non-food items you might have in your car such as chapstick, gum or gum wrappers, soaps, lotions and air fresheners can attract a bear.

It is extremely important to keep your car interior clean to prevent bear breakins. Look under seats, vacuum, and make sure there are no leftover foods or food containers in your car.

This is also a good time to remind everyone that it is time to take down the birdfeeders. A meal of tasty, nutri-

tious seeds — a natural food for bears — is often the first reward a bear gets for exploring human places. Letting your bird feeders turn into bear feeders teaches bears that it’s safe to come close to people and homes looking for food. For bears, that can end up being a deadly lesson. Colorado Parks and Wildlife recommends not feeding birds during the months

when bears are active. Instead, use water features, plantings, nest boxes and flowers to attract birds. Use bird feeders only when bears are hibernating.

Let’s all get into the habit of being bearresponsible. It’s not that difficult, it may take a little extra effort, but saving the life of a bear is worth it. If you live or visit in bear country, please double check every evening that your car doors/windows are locked and completely closed.

Please do your part to prevent bears learning this behavior and help keep them wild!

Additional suggestions for keeping our bears safe include: Residents and vacationers should remove any food attractants from around their home or rental units. Pet food, barbecue grills and bird feeders are also attractants.

Refrain from hanging bird feeders, hang flowers, not feeders.

Store all trash in, and properly close bear-resistant garbage containers.

Store trash in bear-resistant storage sheds or the garage until trash pickup day.

Never pile trash in a trash can or bin that is already overflowing – take trash to a proper receptacle or another location if necessary.

Keep campsites and other recreation areas clean. Use bear-resistant coolers and store all food in bear lockers.

Never feed wildlife. This attracts predators to homes and properties and

perpetuates nuisance wildlife activity.

It is also illegal.

Never leave groceries, animal food or anything scented in vehicles. (this includes chapstick, air fresheners, candy and gum wrappers). Bears can open vehicle doors and they may cause damage trying to gain entrance if there are scented items inside. Always keep vehicle windows up and doors locked!

Keep barbecue grills clean and stored in a garage or shed when not in use.

Keep doors and windows of your home closed and locked when unoccupied.

If a bear breaks into your home, do not confront the bear. Give the bear space and move away so the bear can find an escape route.

Mountain View Bible Fellowship Celebrating 65th Anniversary

Mountain View Bible Fellowship will be celebrating their 65th Anniversary on May 19, 2019. The church’s longest serving pastor, Dr. Hal Irvine will mark his 10th Anniversary as Senior Pastor, during the Worship Service at 10:15 am.

Mountain View Bible Fellowship, located at the corner of Highway 7 and

Peak View Drive, began in 1954 as the first evangelical church in Estes Park.

Originally called Estes Park Baptist Church, it was the third denomination represented in town, following the Presbyterian and Catholic churches.

The planning phases for the church began with a 1953 inquiry from an Estes Park physician, Dr. Gilbert O. Horn. He wrote a letter to the Baptist General Conference of America promising, “$50 per month to anyone who would send a Baptist Pastor to Estes Park.” The first pastor, Walter Smetana, agreed to drive up from Denver every weekend, at a weekly salary of $25. Seven people attended the first morning worship service in November 1953.

He embraced all of the elements that bebop brought to the jazz world of the 1940s and '50s: complex melodies, an expanded harmonic language, and an edgy rhythmic verve, often at breakneck speeds. He influenced many of the jazz greats who followed. He was also a great composer and penned some of the finest tunes to come out of the bebop years. The Bud Powell Project, comprised of five of Denver top call jazz players: Tom Gershwin trumpet, Keith Oxman -saxophone, Alejandro Castano -drums, Patrick McDevitt -bass, and leader Stu MacAskie -piano organized to dig into Powell's compositions and legacy.

“One Book One Valley” - Cast Your Vote By Next Wednesday Walk in the shoes of a real-life modern mountain man. Follow the true-crime adventures of tracking down rare bird skins stolen from the British Museum.

Visit a silent valley of monarch butterflies where one woman confronts her personal world. Behold the collision of love and terror through a family’s eyes in Nazi Berlin.

Four books are in the running for the next One Book One Valley, an all-community reading celebration hosted annually by the Estes Valley Library. Community members are encouraged to vote for the book they would most like to see featured in a month of special programs and discussions. Voting is one-time per-person, anytime now through May 22. The public may vote online at estesvalleylibrary.org, or fill out a paper ballot at the library, the Twig mini-branch, or at Cliffhanger Used Books.

The next One Book One Valley will be held in January 2020 (a less-busy month for residents than the traditional October).

The Final Four are: 'The Last American Man' by Elizabeth Gilbert True story of naturalist and mountain man Eustace Conway, who left home at 17 to live off the land. To Gilbert, Conway's mythical character challenges all assumptions about what it is to be a modern man in America; he is a symbol of how we feel men should be, but rarely are.

Program themes: survivalist classes; foraging classes; book discussions; and a

“Human Library” gathering with local wilderness enthusiasts.

'The Feather Thief: Beauty, Obsession and the Natural History Heist of the Century' by Kirk W. Johnson Rollicking true crime story about the theft of rare bird skins from the British Museum. Follows the investigation, subsequent cover-ups, and an underground world of fanatical fly-tiers. A thoughtprovoking exploration

of the human drive to possess natural beauty.

Program themes: fly tying; fly fishing/casting; discussion of conservation movements; rare collections of local and regional museums; feather crafts; book discussions; possible author visit.

'Flight Behavior' by Barbara Kingsolver A novel of a woman living in Appalachia who discovers a silent forested valley blanketed in monarch butterflies

near her family's farm. As the community lines up to judge the woman and her miracle, she confronts her family, her church, her town, and a larger world, in a flight toward truth that could undo all she has ever believed.

Program themes: collaboration with the Butterfly Pavilion; book discussions; programs on pollinators and species extinction.

'In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin' by Erik Larson True-life account of

William E. Dodd and his family during his time as America’s first ambassador to Hitler’s Nazi Germany. A highly readable work that reveals why the world did not recognize the grave threat posed by Hitler--until Berlin, and Europe, were awash in blood and terror.

Program themes: living-history programs, World War II-themed programs, and book discussions.

The library wishes to thank everyone for taking time to review the finalists and cast a vote. One Book One Valley is made possible through the generous support of the Library Friends & Foundation.

EVRPD To Host First Annual Disc Golf Tournament At The Lake Estes Golf Course

Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVRPD) is excited to announce they are hosting their first annual Disc Golf Tournament on Saturday, May 25 at the Lake Estes 9-Hole Golf Course.

The course, which is now open daily for disc golf play at noon, was added to the wide variety of offerings from EVRPD in response to the increased interest in disc golf.

“We saw an opportunity to provide a new recreational sport on the nine-hole course,” said Mark Miller, Manager of Golf Services for EVRPD. “With the rising popularity of disc golf, we thought it was a logical choice to make the best use of the available space while providing something fun and active.”

The course, which had a soft opening from April 1 to 12, has been modified slightly based on the input of early players, including reducing the length of the course to make it more friendly for beginners.

With these updates, EVRPD is ready to host their first event with a

fun and exciting tournament.

The tournament, which costs $40 per entry and is open to men and women of all ages and skill levels, will consist of up to 60 participants with up to six people per group. Every entry includes a free hat, lunch, prizes, a drink ticket and entry into the $40 ACE POT. The tournament starts at 2 p.m. with a lunch meeting for players at 1 p.m. and will consist of two rounds of nine holes for an 18-hole event.

“Although this is our first stab at a disc golf event, it is sure to be a fun event with gorgeous views,” said Austin Logan, Assistant Golf Professional for EVRPD’s golf courses. “We are excited for this new outdoor offering at the Lake Estes Golf Course for visitors and locals in Estes Park.”

Disc golf has grown in popularity since the first course opened in 1975.

According to the Professional Disc Golf Association, there are more than 6,300 disc golf courses in the U.S. and the association’s membership increased almost 13 percent from 2017 to 2018.

This is the second disc golf course in Estes Park and the only one located near downtown. It is also one of only a handful of courses in Colorado that combines disc golf and traditional golf on one course.

To register for the tournament or for more information about the course, visit golfestes.com or call Austin Logan at 970-586-8146 ext. 4. The Lake Estes 9Hole Golf Course is located at 690 Big Thompson Avenue in Estes Park, Colo.

Maxine Peebles

Maxine Peebles, passed away December 7, 2018 from injuries sustained in a tragic motor vehicle accident outside Roswell, New Mexico.

She married William L. Peebles in 1960 who preceded her in death by one year. Maxine was born October 27, 1937 on a farm outside Herndon, Kansas. She was the daughter of Robert Lee and Hattie E. (Schmidt) Olson. She graduated from Decatur Community High School in Oberlin, Kansas in 1955 and attended Kansas State University.

She entered the Mercy Nursing Program in Denver, Colorado in 1956 which is where she first met William.

She became a registered nurse and then married Bill on December 17, 1960 in Kansas at the Oberlin Covenant Church.

They first settled in Pueblo, Colorado, then moved to Rapid City, South Dakota and finally back to Denver, CO in 1964. Denver was both a home, and her home base for travel over the next 54 years.

The change in hours seems to create some concern, particularly the half-hour lunch break. I am certain that we will adjust to this over time, particularly now that the new Residential Recycling Center signs were installed by Larimer County so no one will wait in line needlessly.

The still unaddressed complaint is the fact that the site will not accommodate double gates preventing the need to turn around vehicles. Transfer Station recycling is still available, for those who prefer the pull through system, but requires business recycling fees, the same as land-

ner was felt by both her patients and family. Through her humor and organization, she eventually became the head of the floor of the rehab unit at Spalding in Denver. She continually would retire, and then return back to work until she was in her 70s. She was the perpetual nurse.

She also loved to travel near and far, having seen the world with Bill. Yearly they would take trips and come home with a wider view of our planet. She even looked forward to road trips across America in her final years.

Her zest for life continued as a grandma who loved her granddaughters, windsurfing around the world, attending theater productions, and having get-togethers with family and friends. She cherished the beauty of her and Bill’s winter home in the desert of Arizona, and adored Estes Park, calling the mountains her “holy place.” She loved life until her last day.

Maxine is survived by her brothers Robert and Dale Olson; her three daughters, Sheri (Martin) Steinemann, Sheila Peebles, and Karen Peebles; two grandchildren, Karin Waters and Lia Steinemann; and her many nephews and nieces. All of these she loved dearly. She was preceded in death by her parents, and her brother Keith Olson.

Her celebration of life will be May 25, at 11:00 a.m. at Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran Church.

If the big trucks can get in there and pull out the containers to transport over to the Transfer Station, it must be possible to accommodate passenger vehicles and pickup trucks.

Kurt H. Niedringhaus A young Austrian woman, Ingeborg Bauer, worked in the CIC office and a romance blossomed. Kurt was honorably discharged from the military in April 1946; he received several citations for his service to his country. After obtaining a dispensation from the Pope, since he was Lutheran and she a Catholic, Kurt and Inge were married in the church in St. Johann im Pongau, where Inge grew up, on July 6, 1947.

He was the first American married in the church, which was several hundred years old. Kurt and Inge honeymooned in Austria and then lived for a while in St. Johann, until they moved back to Iowa.

Zoning Protections In Residential Neighborhoods Under Attack To The Editor: Our mayor and a few trustees are attempting to change current zoning laws to permit a wide variety of commercial enterprises in residential neighborhoods, taking advantage of the current confusion surrounding approval of an alpine slide in a residential zone in the county.

While many citizens are not aware of this major change in policy, all should consider what would happen to their piece of mind and home value if amusement parks, go-cart tracks, and other large outdoor venues are allowed in neighborhoods after this zoning change is approved by the Board of Trustees.

In April, the trustees were to vote on a sensible solution approved by the Estes Valley Planning Commission, to limit commercial entertainment/recreational parks to nonresidential zones only.

While the trustees should have voted to approve this solution, the vote was postponed in order to have the Town planning group compile a survey of current commercial businesses operating exclusively, or in part, in residential zones.

Confusion concerning the commercial park and recreation issue will result, as a long list of non park activities being conducted are presented. Things such as trout fishing lessons, volunteer dog walking from pet shelters, permitted bed

and breakfasts, as well as other non-intrusive activities will be used as evidence that Estes Park residential neighborhoods already are open to commercial businesses. Unfortunately, this argument confuses the more serious issue of allowing large, noisy commercial parks and recreational businesses in residential neighborhoods. The latter activities will be disruptive and totally inappropriate in single family neighborhoods. Most people who purchased and live in their home in Estes Park neighborhoods don’t want to have commercial theme parks next to them. Some in our government don’t respect this point of view. That’s unfortunate since life for citizens who live in their homes in residential neighborhoods will change forever if the minority view of some trustees is made law by gutting our current zoning laws.

In order to stop this change in zoning, home owners in residential neighborhoods will need to send emails or contact the mayor and trustees to voice your disapproval prior to the next trustee meeting on Tuesday, May 28, 2019.

Dolores E. Johnson

Dolores E. Johnson of Estes Park passed away on Tuesday, May 14, 2019 at Good Samaritan Village.

Dolores was born April 17, 1928, in Chicago, Illinois. She lived her informative years in Chicago, graduating from high school in 1946. Her best friends were two of her cousins, Dorothy and Loretta, and they were known to all their classmates as the three amigos.

In the late 1960s, Dolores and her mother, Lucille Sedor (nee Klosowski), moved to Los Angeles.

Dolores began working for an insur-

ance company. As part of her job, she would receive, open and deal with the daily mail. It was in this role that she met and fell in love with the mail carrier, Norman Johnson. They married in 1971 and moved in 1989, along with Dolores's mother, to Estes Park.

They had been vacationing in Estes Park for many years and decided to retire here.

They became very active in the Estes community to include the Senior Center and Estes Park Newcomers. Dolores, after Norm's passing in 2009, continued to be involved in the Senior Center, eating lunch and playing pinochle with her friends. She also enjoyed her Sip and Snack group, which was an offshoot from her Newcomer days.

Dolores is survived by her cousin, Sandy Hayes, in Chicago and her close friends and caretakers, Pete and Carol Smith of Estes Park.

In lieu of flowers, please send contributions to Good Samaritan Society, Estes Park Village, 1901 Ptarmigan Trail, Estes Park, Co. 80517.

Services for Dolores will be graveside at the Estes Valley Memorial Gardens, Wednesday, May 22, at 10:00 a.m.
