Trail Ridge Road Opening Delayed Will Not Open Over The Memorial Day Holiday

Courtesy photos RMNP

Due to late spring snowfall and continuing winter-like conditions at high elevations in Rocky Mountain National Park, Trail Ridge Road’s opening will be delayed and will not open to vehicles over the Memorial Day Holiday.

Park snowplow operators will continue to plow the road; the road will open as soon as it is safe to do so. Due to ongoing snow accumulation, winds and below freezing temperatures at higher elevations, it is too soon to predict when that might be.

Pedestrians and bicyclists are able to travel on the road. When plowing is taking place, for visitor safety, park plow operators will post signs that indicate the point on the road where pedestrian and bicycle travel is not allowed, past that point. It is critical that pedestrians and bicycles adhere to those closures. Depending on the day and conditions the distance that pedestrians and bicycles are allowed to travel on the road will vary.

Every year, Rocky Mountain National Park snowplow operators begin plow-

ing Trail Ridge Road in mid-April. Crews from the west side of the park and crews from the east side of the park move along the road and eventually meet near the Alpine Visitor Center. Plow operators normally encounter drifts from 18 to 22 feet and are accustomed to plowing the same section of road over and over.

Trail Ridge Road was completed in 1932. The earliest the road has opened was on May 7, 2002; the latest June 26, 1943. In 2011, the road opened on June 6.

Park staff expect a busy Memorial Day Weekend throughout Rocky Mountain National Park. The three reservation campgrounds in the park are full for the weekend. Timber Creek Campground on the west side of the park is first-come, firstserved. Vehicle restrictions may be in place on the Bear Lake Road corridor and the Wild Basin area if full parking

lots and congestion warrants. Visitors planning to recreate in the park’s backcountry, depending on their destination, should prepare for a variety of conditions including snow, ice, slush and mud.

Today, the Bear Lake Trailhead, located at 9,475 feet, has 35 inches of snow.

Protecting Our Water Future Water Rate Hearings May 28 And July 9 By: Utilities Director Reuben Bergsten

At the Town of Estes Park, we are proud to provide some of the best water in the country. Our customers' water comes straight off the mountains and into our treatment plants before being delivered to homes every day of the year. This is possible with extensive oversight and expert control, and our continual repairs to an aging system.

Rate studies, which often recommend increases, are necessary to fund this work and to continue providing great water service. We have just completed a scheduled rate study, which proposes an average increase of five percent annually for the next three years. The recommended rates will be proposed at public meetings in May and July.

The process to determine new rates considers many factors: Keeping the increases to a minimum for small year-round households with modest incomes Saving funds in order to replace the 1970 Glacier Creek Water Treatment Plant by about 2026 Complying with state and federal regulatory standards Continually replacing failing and undersized pipes The current fixed monthly base charge on your water bill is intended to cover the fixed costs of everyday operations and maintenance. This base charge needs to increase to make sure these fixed costs are covered. The proposed monthly base charge includes 2,000 gallons a month for every residential customer. This will help smaller households that use about 2,000 gallons a month.

Homes that are unoccupied through part of the year and use no water would see a larger monthly increase, since it's necessary to ensure water is always available to them even if it isn't being used.

The two main issues impacting the water rates in the Estes Valley are establishing an annual pipe replacement program at the expense of $1 million per year and rebuilding the Glacier Creek Water Treatment Plant at a cost of $35 million.

Nearly 40 miles of our underground pipe is outdated, undersized and prone

to leaks. Replacing these pipes improves our community's fire protection capabilities and helps reduce costly emergency repairs. It will take a long time but the first step is having adequate funds to do the work.

The Glacier plant was built in 1970 with a planned 40-year life. As it approaches 50 years old, the plant won't be capable of meeting the Town's future water needs and ever-increasing regulatory requirements. Its replacement will be built to modern specifications and will be more energy-efficient. The plant will also use state-of-the-art membranebased filters similar to the existing Marys Lake Water Treatment Plant.

Your rates are supported by other funding sources, too. The Water Division makes a focused effort to find grants and financing for large projects like these. We are applying for grants and funding with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). They offer a program to small rural communities that provides grants and 40-year low-interest loans. The USDA program was considered during the water rate study and has helped reduce the proposed rate increases.

The burden of addressing deferred maintenance on critical infrastructure is shared by communities across the country. Instead of continuing to pass challenges on to future generations, we are working to address the big issues before they reach the crisis point, to sustain our community's water needs into the future.

Complete details, available at www.estes.org/waterratesandtapfees, will be presented at the May 28 Town Board meeting, which takes place at 7 p.m. in the Town Board Room of Town Hall, 170 MacGregor Ave. Another public hearing will take place July 9, at which the Town Board is expected to adopt new water rates. All water customers are encouraged to provide comments to the Trustees now through July 9. Written comments may be provided to the Town Clerk in Room 130 of Town Hall or by emailing townclerk@estes.org. The meetings will be available live-streamed and recorded via www.estes.org/videos.

Memorial Day Holiday Closure Larimer County Offices, Courts, District Attorney, and Landfill will be closed on Monday, May 27, 2019 in ob-

servance of the Memorial Day Holiday.

Critical services at Larimer County are not disrupted by closures.

Without registering for an account, customers can: Use the "Pay Now" feature that allows for quick payment Use the new automated phone payment system with features such as quick account balance review and payment with a credit card, debit card, or eCheck and an easy-to-use call flow.

Hudson continued "We're excited about these changes and they reflect our continual commitment to providing a superior customer service experience."

Still Time To Support The Museum Welcome Film Project This summer, visitors to the Estes Park Museum will embark upon an informative, inspiring and high-quality journey into Estes Park history through a Welcome Film that provides context for the exhibits they will tour in the Museum gallery. The film incorporates much never-before-seen content, including rare historic footage.

Now in its final editing stages, the movie has been developed by local filmmakers Nick Mollé and Sean Doherty, in conjunction with the Estes Park Museum staff. When finished, the film will be seen by thousands of people over many years to come.

Fundraising for the project is currently underway. The Museum Friends & Foundation wish to thank the many generous donors who have contributed over $4000 so far toward the total goal. Those funds have been augmented by a generous grant from the Village Thrift Shop.

To help reach the final fundraising goal, the Museum Friends are now receiving donations to the Marshall Hesler Welcome Film memorial fund. Marshall was a longtime Museum volunteer, who enjoyed welcoming visitors to the museum for more than 25 years. His family has expressed their wish to have funds donated specifically for the Welcome Film project.

All donors will be invited to attend a special Welcome Film Premiere on Monday, June 24 at 7 pm. The museum staff and the filmmakers will be on hand to share their insights into the project, with a viewing of the film on the big screen in the museum meeting room.

Donations may be made payable and mailed to EPMF&F, 200 4th Street, Estes Park, CO 80517 (Note ‘Hesler Welcome Film’ in the memo line). Thank you to everyone who has contributed toward this important effort.

Historic Downtown Walking Tours To Run June 3 Through September 24 Discover the hidden past on a walking tour of downtown Estes Park with the Estes Park Museum. During the tour, participants will be guided by trained docents to explore historical photographs from the Museum's collection to aid in comparing the past to the present.

In 1905, Cornelius Bond and the Estes Park Town Company hired Abner Sprague to plat the downtown district. Within weeks, lots along the street named "Elkhorn Avenue" were taken up and new businesses were established. Over the course of a decade, the basic footprint of the town we know today was established by many of the buildings that started out as hotels, schools, private homes, and businesses.

Identical tours are offered on Mondays and Tuesdays (except Labor Day, September 2) from Monday, June 3 through Tuesday, September 24. Tours meet at 8:15 a.m. at the Northeast corner of Bond Park (next to the bronze Enos

Mills sculpture at MacGregor and Park Avenues) and begin promptly at 8:30 a.m. The tour group will walk west through town, and return to the same site by 10:00 a.m., and travel a distance of 0.7 miles. Tours are free, donations

are welcome. First come, first served; no reservations required. Space limited to about 12 people. Additionally, tours can be arranged by appointment by calling 970-577-6256.

The mission of the Estes Park Museum is to conduct activities that preserve, share and respect the unique history of Estes Park. For more information, call the Estes Park Museum at 970-586-6256 or visit the Museum's website at www.estes.org/museum.

I set aside yesterday to go shopping. I needed a trundle bed for the small guest room and since I had an open day on the calendar, I decided I would devote it to doing my research, exploring my options, and making a selection.

I went to several furniture stores, only to find out they don’t offer trundle beds in the physical location. I couldn’t touch one, jiggle one to see how sturdy it was, lie down on a bed to test its comfort, or see if I like antique wheat better than washed pecan.

Unapologetically, the salespeople in each store told me I could visit their website and see a broad selection of trundles online.

They didn’t appear to be concerned with job security and I wondered why. How long will it be, I wondered, before we do all our shopping online and all the real live salespeople will be standing in the unemployment line? Will every storefront be converted into a paintball arena or axe-throwing bar? Am I going to have to ask all of my questions via the ever-annoying online chat? Will I be forced to give my email address via those obnoxious pop-ups before I can enter one single site? (I refuse to do it. If a site requires my email address, I skedaddle right on to the next site.)

The day will come when the only way we can shop will be via a computer screen.

We’ll have to trust that the online reviews aren’t rigged, the measurements are right, and the products we buy will hold up.

What if they don’t? I demand free delivery these days but we have to pay to return an item if we aren’t satisfied with our purchase and packing up and returning a 200-pound bed isn’t cheap.

With trundle shopping, I had no choice.

Even one of the largest furniture stores in the country, owned by one of the richest men in the world and named after my home state (Go Big Red!) only had three trundle beds and two of them were daybeds.

I don’t want a daybed. Period. Designed to serve as a sofa when it’s not being slept in, a daybed is too deep to sit on sofa-like, and making a daybed is such a pain in the back-

side, I’m afraid I wouldn’t let anyone sleep on it so I wouldn’t have to make it. I want a true trundle bed and would prefer the trundle to be the pop-up kind so it would be up off the ground and the phrase “crawl into bed” wouldn’t be literal.

Resigned to the reality of the 21st century, I went home and got myself set up in front of the computer. Cup of tea, slippers, lap blanket (we’re two-thirds into the month of May; I shouldn’t need a lap blanket!), notebook and pen, a cleared-off place to write notes, and a stack of coupons from various websites, sent via snail mail.

I didn’t expect it to take long to complete my mission since I didn’t have to get in my car and drive anywhere. I could visit multiple websites with a simple click of the mouse and be done with it in no time.

Not exactly. I spent hours upon hours in front of the screen, visiting a smattering of the 23 million sites offering trundle beds.

(Although not all of them had trundle beds, even though they showed up as a result of my search. What a waste of my time!

Inappropriate search results should be punished by an inundation of scam phone calls.) I wanted to find the best bed at the best price with free shipping, with lots of five-star reviews and the fewest one-star reviews. (One-star reviews are the bane of my online shopping experience. Read a few of those—and every item for sale online has them—and you’ll never end up buying anything you need.) I knew I could find exactly what I wanted just over the next Internet hill, so I kept clicking.

Finally I did find the perfect bed. I was allowed to use an expired coupon and shipping was free. It will arrive in a mere six days (how do they do that?). And that’ll be the end of it. Except for one catch: assembly is required. I’d like to see ‘em do that online!

Congratulations To The EPHS Class Of 2019 To The Editor: To the Estes Park High School Class of 2019, your commencement is nearly here.

You will remember this special day and your high school career for the rest of your lives.

Some of the friends you made will be friends forever while others you may not see again, but the memories will always be there. You’ll remember some special people such as your principal, coaches, counselors, club sponsors and others. You will definitely remember those very special teachers who challenged you, who made a difference in your life. The ones who introduced you to Shakespeare, Dickens, London and others and the ones who gave you the tools to express yourself, to analyze and to be a decision maker.

You will soon be the launched on a new and exciting journey in your lives. And it will be a journey, not a guided tour. You’ll have to work harder, be even more responsible and exercise more self-discipline than what you’ve been used to over the past four years. I am convinced that you are up to the task.

Recently I, along with the other Town Trustees had the opportunity to meet with

several of the soon-to-be graduates and with several other underclassmen. From my perspective, and I’m sure my colleagues on the board would agree, that if the future of our community, our state and our country rests on their shoulders, then we are indeed in good hands.

I am reticent to offer advice but I feel compelled to ask that you consider two things. One, spend more time listening than talking- you’ll learn more that way.

Two, VOTE! Never pass up the opportunity to exercise such a wonderful privilege.

Don’t ever think that elected officials can’t have a serious impact on your life and your future. In May 1963 I sat in the auditorium of my high school listening to commencement speeches while President John Kennedy, Vice President Lyndon Johnson-who would become President six months later-along with senators, congressmen and other advisors, were deciding if one day soon they would be sending eighteen-year-olds like myself to a place called Vietnam. In 1963 eighteen-yearolds couldn’t vote. Today you can, so do it.

Congratulations and good luck as you begin this next phase of your life.

Estes Pak Thanks Bright Christmas Estes Pak would like to give a huge thank you to Bright Christmas. Bright Christmas recently donated 3,000 dollars to help the Estes Pak program feed students and families in the Estes Valley.

Estes Pak was started by the Estes Park Education Association. Teachers in Estes Park realized that some of their students were not getting the food they needed

on weekends. Each Friday during the school year Estes Pak sends home food to families who have needs. There is no need to qualify for the program. If a family has needs, Estes Pak will help them. If you would like to know more about Estes Pak, please contact Terry Leija at 586-7406 ext. 3284 or email him at terry_leija@psdr3.k12.co.us

"Explore Our Business" in May was an opportunity to visit Wildside 4x4 Tours, located at 1211 Woodstock, next to the fairgrounds. This old auto dealership property is just perfect for their company. Neil and Kimberly O’Malley purchased this building in 2017 and it is amazing to see the quality of work the diverse team can accomplish to create a tour truck. Now in their 11th year in business, they have expanded their abili-

ties to handle everything from basic maintenance to complete design and fabrication of a tour vehicle from the ground up. Once completed the offroad (yellow painted) adventures include breathtaking 360-degree views and can include a barbeque & smores with a campfire at their private pavilion!

The Scenic Park Tours (orangish painted) are just as spectacular with tons of photo opportunities with tour guides that look like Indiana Jones.

Run or walk Colorado’s most scenic race course! The 16th annual Estes Park marathon, half marathon, 10K and 5K will be held on Sunday, June 16. The marathon and half begin at the Dao House up Highway 7, and descend 1500 feet in the first 6.5 miles. Enjoy the gorgeous views as you descend, and be inspired by the sunrise over the picturesque mountain town of Estes Park. As with all great journeys, the mountainous beauty will encourage you to overcome the physical and psychological challenges of the climbs and feel the thrill of several scenic downhills. Share the celebration and joy of running with us! Runner’s World magazine recommends this destination race, for a reason! Half marathoners will circle lovely Lake Estes, and full marathoners will enjoy continuous views of Rocky Mountain National Park and the Continental Divide as they run the Dry and Devil’s Gulch loop, then pass the historic Stanley Hotel and return to the lake trail. Walkers of the full and half runs begin at 5:30 a.m., the full marathon runners start at 6 a.m., and the half runners at 6:30 a.m. Trolleys will transport runners from the high school to the start. There is no parking at the start. All races finish on the Estes Park High School track (elevation 7,550 feet).

No pets, strollers or wheels allowed, due to the steep inclines and sharp turns.

Prizes in the full and half marathons will be awarded to the top three overall male and female runners, top two male and female over-40 masters, and to the top three male and female finishers in 10 year age groups. All finishers receive a beautiful medal. Packet pick up will be on Saturday, June 15, at the high school commons, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Race day packet pick up will be available at 4:30 a.m. For those who prefer a shorter run, there are also 10K and 5K runs on

June 16. The 10K begins at 8 a.m. from the southeast of the middle school parking lot. The 5K also begins at 8 a.m., but at the Lake Estes Marina. Both races finish on the high school track. Prizes will be awarded in the 10K and 5K races.

More info about all of the races can be found at www.epmarathon.org. Race weekend needs volunteers, particularly road marshals to help direct runners along the course. If you can help, please contact: volunteer@epmarathon.org.

The kiddos will enjoy the children’s festival and one mile fun run on Saturday, June 15 at Estes Park High’s track. The festival starts at 10:00 a.m. lasting through 2:00 p.m., with a one mile fun run at 11 a.m. There will be live music, games, face painting, bouncing obstacle, bikes, and interactive educational activities. Join the fun! Students from the Estes Park High School Cross-Country Team help coordinate the kids’ running race and the Estes Park Cycling Coalition coordinates the bike events. The Estes Park half marathon is the first race of the three-part Colorado Mountain Half Series. The second race is one of Colorado’s oldest half marathons, the 40th Annual Georgetown to Idaho Springs Half Marathon (known as GTIS Half), on August 11th. It starts at beautiful Georgetown Lake between towering Rocky Mountains and you cruise through what is mostly a downhill and fast course into iconic Idaho Springs.

The series wraps up with the Ned*Ned Half Marathon in Nederland on September 7th. Nederland is known for its amazing beauty and the worldrenowned Frozen Dead Guy (I know I have your attention now). It is nestled in a valley carved by glaciers. You will run mostly on trails in beautiful national forests with Barker Reservoir as your backdrop.

Nebraska Picnic Mark your calendars for Sunday, July 14 for a very special Nebraska Picnic! If you have a Nebraska connection, come meet your fellow Cornhuskers. Wear your “Big Red” proudly and brush up on your Nebraska trivia (there will be prizes!)

The picnic will be held on Sunday, July 14 from 4-9 p.m. at the Lake Estes Marina Pavilion, 1770 Big Thompson Ave. RSVP to estesfornebraska@gmail.com Bring a pot luck dish to share, lawn chari and beverages. Grilled “Big Red” hot dogs and mini Runzas will be available (while they last) along with plates, napkins, utensils and condiments. Donations will be graciously accepted to help defray costs.

INNER DIN

Weather issues forced change of schedule Starting on Tuesday, May 28, crews from Flatiron Constructors and the Colorado Department of Transportation will begin in-town milling and paving on Colorado Highway 7. About two miles from the intersection of Colorado Highways 34 and 36 to Carriage Drive will be repaved.

CDOT has been working closely with the Town of Estes Park to complete the repaving this spring. Initially, the twoyear project excluded in-town work during Memorial Day and Labor Day to accommodate for the busier tourist season.

However, a surge of spring storms has delayed progress and altered the timeline. An agreement to extend past Memorial Day was reached with the town based on the road’s current condition and heavier traffic in the fall versus the spring which will make it safer for the travelling public as part of the CDOT’s Whole System – Whole Safety initiative.

In-town paving is expected to last through the month of June. The width of CO 7 allows for lane shifts rather than full closures, so two lanes will remain open. A pilot car will lead motorists through the paving construction zone for safety. Wait times for the entire CO 7 project will remain at 15 minutes.

CO 7 will see a total of 12 miles resurfaced by the end of the project in October. This also includes widening the road to create at least four additional feet

for bicyclists. The new bike lanes will start at Lily Lake and connect to the existing bike lanes at St. Malo’s Chapel on the Rock.

Efforts to restore the integrity of the road began in May of 2018 after increased truck traffic created damage as a result of the 2013 flood.

PROJECT SCHEDULE Work on this project began last spring and will go through October.

Normal working hours will be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. In special cases, these hours may be extended.

TRAVEL IMPACTS Single lane closures with up to 15-minute delays Pilot car through paving work zones Isolated full closures with up to 30-minute delays for rock fall mitigation Shoulder closures Sidewalk detours PROJECT DETAILS Cost: $13,000,000 Permanent flood repairs Mill and overlay Road widening to accommodate bike lanes Culvert repairs and replacement Curb ramps and sidewalk tie-ins STAY INFORMED: The public is encouraged to sign up for notifications to stay informed. Subscribe to updates by contacting the project hotline phone number at 970-903-9785 or email CO7EstesPark@gmail.com. Additional information on CO 7 can be obtained by visiting the project website: www.codot.gov/projects/co-7-roadbike-lane-ada-improvements-in-estespark REMEMBER: SLOW FOR THE CONE ZONE The following tips are to help you stay safe while traveling through maintenance and construction work zones.

Do not speed in work zones. Obey the posted speed limits.

Stay Alert! Expect the unexpected.

Watch for workers. Drive with caution.

Don't change lanes unnecessarily.

Avoid using mobile devices such as phones while driving in work zones.

Turn on headlights so that workers and other drivers can see you.

Be especially alert at night while driving in work zones.

Expect delays, especially during peak travel times.

Allow ample space between you and the car in front of you.

Anticipate lane shifts and merge when directed to do so.

Be patient!

Big Thompson Canyon Association Pancake Breakfast The Big Thompson Canyon Association Pancake Breakfast will take place on Sunday, June 2, from 8 a.m.-2 p.m.

The Big Thompson Canyon Association (BTCA) has been supporting the canyon community for over 80 years.

Managing tourism impacts including fishery restocking and sanitation, creating usable residential directories and address system and providing support during disasters are some of the projects undertaken over the years. The BTCA is currently working to add new members as the 2013 flood, road construction, and normal attrition have reduced our numbers. We are planning some fun programs for our monthly meetings, along with great food, good company and a chance to learn more about the canyon.

Now in its 51st year, the Big Thompson Canyon Association (BTCA) Pancake Breakfast has become a tradition for many families. A Sunday trip up the Big Thompson Canyon and breakfast in the historic log building spells an enjoyable and inexpensive family outing. Advance tickets are only $7 for adults and $5 for children 4 to 9 years of age; tickets are $1 more at the door. Little ones under four eat for free. The BTCA building is lo-

cated about 1 mile east of Drake on US 34. Check our Facebook page for updates: www.facebook.com/BTCA1479.

There are more activities than just the all you can eat breakfast. BTCA members host a bake sale; proceeds from the pancake breakfast and bake sale fund the BTCA during the year. The BTCA maintains the building and provides a central gathering place for the local community year-round.

The Big Thompson Canyon Volunteer Fire Department (BTCVFD) hosts a

craft show next door at the firehouse.

Participants are local crafters whose table fees assist the fire department with various needs. The fire department also assists with traffic and cooking.

There is a charity raffle, this year benefitting the Big Thompson Watershed Coalition. This group has been very active in restoring the ecology of the Big Thompson River corridor: details of their work can be found at www.bigthompson.co. Prizes include merchandise and gift certificates from many area businesses.

Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVRPD), the provider of numerous recreational opportunities in Estes Valley, is excited to announce that the 33rd Annual Fishing Derby will be held on Saturday, June 1, 2019, at Lake Estes.

This annual event, held in conjunction with Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s (CPW) free fishing days, is held each year to benefit EVRPD youth programs. “It has been so much fun over the years to see this event continue to be a popular start to the summer fishing season,� said Annie Hanson, Lake Estes Marina Manager. “We have seen multiple generations enjoy this family friendly event year after year.�

The fishing derby registration begins at 6:30 a.m. at the Lake Estes Marina store, and fishing will begin at the sound of the bullhorn at 8 a.m. For the next four hours, fishing can be conducted by boat or on the shores of Lake Estes. The bullhorn will sound again at noon, signifying the time for measurements to be recorded and winners announced.

Winners are selected in eight categories-ages 0-9 female, 0-9 male, 10-15 female, 10-15 male, 16-59 female, 16-59 male, 60+ female and 60+ male—for the largest fish. Each winner receives a prize, which are donations from local Estes Park merchants.

True Grit-No Recall To the Editor: Dear Estes Park, In 2016, over 1,200 residents of Estes Park voted overwhelmingly Cody Walker for Trustee. Now, a small group of angry, ill informed voices want to overturn your vote. If you voted for Cody the first time, don’t let those bullies take away your voice. Have the True Grit Estes Park is known for, vote against the recall.

Join the movement by sending your name to weare4cody@usa.com, and “like� the True Grit No Recall Facebook page. Don’t let outsiders take over Estes Park, stand behind Cody Walker.

Sincerely, Michelle Hurni

Wildlife. Each year on the first weekend of June, CPW waives the fee for fishing licenses throughout the state to encourage more people to discover and enjoy one of the most popular of all outdoor activities. EVRPD is excited to participate in this fun weekend.

Although the license is not required that weekend, all other rules and regulations apply. Information will be available at the fishing derby registration.

To register for the derby or for additional information, visit evrpd.com/annual-fishing-derby or call 970-586-2011.

NO LONGER STRANGERS…TO OUR SPOUSES He was a highly regarded policeman in Denver. One early morning his patrol car was found in a Denver alley, overhead lights flashing, driver’s door open, and the officer missing. It had all the makings of an officer abduction with what would probably be a horrible ending. For days news channels carried the story as family and officials pleaded for any leads in the case. His picture was broadcast far and wide, with no results. That is, until someone in Salt Lake City reported seeing a man riding a small motorcycle who resembled the missing cop. Sure enough. When confronted he told about a marriage that had deteriorated to the point that he ‘wanted out’. His wife and family were totally unaware of his unhappiness.

About the same time a graduate student in Abilene, Texas went missing. His car was found abandoned along a lonely stretch of highway. His dissertation papers were scattered along the road. His satchel and personal items scattered about the car.

Another abduction? No! Another unhappy husband who wanted out and wanted it to appear his disappearance was not his choice. More news broadcasts, more pleas for his ‘captors’ to return him, until the truth came out. No one, especially, his wife, suspected how unhappy he was. They were ‘Strangers’ to their spouses.

Reba McIntyre penned and sang a song entitled, “Goodbye to Daddy”. It was a song about a wife who carried out her family’s every wish and, seemingly, was happy, meeting all their demands…including her husband’s. Then one morning the family awoke to find a note, telling of her unfulfilled needs and how ‘taken for granted’ she felt.

They were told she had gone to find the happiness that she had lacked for so long, and, “If she ever planned to come back, she never did say so to Daddy”.

I performed two weddings over the weekend. I reminded the young couples … as well as their guests, whom I encouraged to join hands and ‘renew their vows’ during the ceremony…that they needed to do several things in order to avoid being ‘strangers’ to their spouses. One, of course, was to ‘communicate’ verbally continually: listening carefully to each other, and sharing openly with each other, about their needs and thoughts and joys and, basically, themselves. Go to any restaurant and observe the electronic devices that are communicating…rather than the couples. One restaurant owner said: “I can tell who the dating couples are and who’s married. The dating couples are talking to each other.” The second was to ‘companion’ with each other, to do things that both of them can enjoy to strengthen their relationship. We call some couples ‘Married singles’ because they are both off in their own worlds doing things without the other… and drifting farther and farther apart in the process, until the day that one or the other gives up…and leaves.

So, how is it with you? In counseling we use a marriage ‘inventory’ which asks couples to state the ‘degree of satisfaction’ they feel about dozens of aspects of their marriage relationship. We also have them state the ‘degree of satisfaction’ they think their spouse will mark on their sheet. Then we compare the spouse’s answers to their partner’s…with surprising results, showing how ‘far-off-base’ each is from knowing their partner’s feelings about the relationship. And then we go to work.

It’s time that each of us commits to knowing our spouse. No longer strangers!

Author Robert Ruesch At YMCA Maude Jellison Library & Macdonald Book Shop

Author, and former resident, Robert N. Ruesch will be talking about his books, In The Warmth of the Shadow and When We Were Pioneers at Maude Jellison Library at Estes Park Center YMCA at 10:30 a.m. on June 12th. There will also be an author event at Macdonald Book Shop the next day in

downtown Estes Park from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.

Robert was raised at YMCA of the Rockies, Estes Park Center where he had the opportunity to interact with summer college staff at an early age — growing up in a resort setting allowed to learn life lessons in a unique way. He continued his career at Snow Mountain Ranch, the sister camp to Estes Park Center in Granby, Colorado.

Robert’s first book, Shadow, is about growing up in a summer resort setting, from the beginning of the 1950s through college years. Robert was able to interact with summer staff, guests, conference attendees from across the United States and the world. The second book, Pioneers, continues the story of creating a family/conference camp during the formative first 12 years from a Colorado homestead. Both books are filled with devotional stories, life lessons, the triumphs, tragedies and observations afforded by the author becoming molded by living a life close to paradise in the Colorado Rockies.

Thank You Chamber Singers!

To The Editor: We would like to thank the Estes Valley Chamber Singers and their director, Rich Dickson for an enjoyable and amazing concert Sunday afternoon at the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, accompanied by Michelle Gergen-Wisner.

It was a well-rounded concert with everything from spirituals to show tunes as well as a couple of tunes from Disney and some sacred numbers.

The harmony and blend were spot on. We are blessed to have access to such quality music.

As you may have seen from a picture in one of my columns, I have recently returned from Norway and the North Cape. Or did I return? The weather here in Estes is as cold and snowy as it was in Norway. I had a wonderful time and ate my way up Norway’s coast and fjords, especially salmon and all types of seafood, even stone crabs. I paid for the feasting. I gained 10 pounds. When we crossed the Arctic Circle the boat’ staff had us go up on top deck for a celebration. We were handed a pretty spoon and invited to taste an unknown sample from a mysterious bottle…being one to always try something new I held out my spoon. It was cod liver oil! As I quickly spit it overboard, all I could think was some fish is sure going to have the runs!

Before I ventured on my cruise, I had gone to a lovely church gathering. We all brought treats. I so enjoyed one of the group’s breakfast treat that I asked for the recipe. She was so kind to share it.

Hi Esther! This is the recipe that you requested from one of our earlier Bible Studies. Enjoy!

Thank You For Participating In The Neighbors In Need Challenge Crossroads Ministry is so grateful for the outpouring of financial support in its Neighbors in Need Challenge. Executive Director, Brian Schaffer said, “I was talking with one of our community members who gave a significant donation during our Neighbors in Need matching campaign and discovered why he decided to write the check to Crossroads. His most compelling reason for giving was the simple fact that he likes to invest his money locally where it is being maximized in

meeting real needs of his neighbors. As we were finishing our conversation he readily admitted that he hadn’t given for a few years, but sensed it was the right time to begin giving again and to give it close to home. I’m so thankful for this donor as well as many others that have given close to home over the last six weeks. We have already surpassed our $50,000 matching goal and are continuing to receive more. It’s a real blessing to know each dollar we receive will be reinvested into people living in our community. Thanks for being a big part of this!”

Two Special Evening Programs At Rocky Mountain National Park Over The Memorial Day Weekend

Join us for two special Memorial Day Weekend evening programs on May 25 and May 26, at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center auditorium in Rocky Mountain National Park.

On Saturday, May 25 at 7 p.m. join park ranger Steven Lambert for Rocky Rocks.

The story of Rocky’s rocks is the foundation on which all the wonders we see are built: the mountain peaks, valleys, lakes, forests, wildlife, weather and people.

On Sunday, May 26 at 7 p.m. join the Naval Band Northwest Woodwind Quintet for an evening of inspirational patriotic music to commemorate Memorial Day. The group is comprised of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and French horn. They perform many different musical styles, including classical, patriotic marches, contemporary, and much more for official military ceremonies and patriotic events throughout the United States.

Navy Band Northwest traces its history to 1925 where it was unofficially known as the Third Battalion, U.S. Naval Reserve Forces, and 13th Naval District Band. In 1944, a group of Sailors from various ratings formed a band at Naval Air Station (NAS) Seattle at Sand Point to welcome home the Hellcat Fighter

Squadron of Carrier Aircraft Support Unit 7. In honor of the fighter squadron returning from combat operations in the South Pacific, the band became known thereafter as the Hellcat Band.

The band moved to Naval Air Station Seattle at Sand Point in the fall of 1970 where its name was changed to Northwest Navy Band. Throughout the years Navy Band Northwest has built a reputation of excellence and is widely known for exceptional musical performances attending nearly 500 engagements each year. The 35 rated Navy Musicians are called upon today to perform in various musical units including the Ceremonial and Parade Bands, Popular Music Group, Brass Band, Brass Quintet, woodwind chamber groups, and a Protocol Jazz Combo. Navy Band Northwest is under the leadership of its Director, Lieutenant Bruce Mansfield, and falls operationally under the command of Rear Admiral Gary Mayes, Commander, Navy Region Northwest.

This program is free and open to the public. Space is limited. 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.

Seeking Sponsors For Rotary Golf Tournament To Benefit Scholarships As rising river levels, darting hummingbirds and greening golf courses signal spring’s arrival in Estes Park, it’s time to mark your calendar for the Rotary Golf Tournament for Scholarships, set for Saturday, June 29, 2019.

The 23rd annual event will raise funds for the Rotary Club of Estes Park Foundation Scholarship Fund. Annually, the club raises $24,000 for three, four-year academic scholarships for graduating Estes Park high school students. The club recently awarded a total of $34,630 in academic and memorial scholarships to 11 members of the class of 2019.

The tournament will be held at the scenic 18-hole Estes Park Golf Course, where the majestic mountain views are often known to distract golfers, Chair-

man Peter Sinnott said. The fun will begin with an 8 a.m. shotgun start.

“We have set our sights on raising more in sponsorships than we did last

year, and our committee members are making those contacts now,” Sinnott said.

Many sponsors have been recruited, but more are needed, Sinnott said. Levels include: • Named Scholarship Sponsor ($2,500 and above), • Diamond Sponsor ($2,000), • Gold Sponsor ($1,000), • Beverage Cart Sponsor ($750) • Silver Sponsor ($500), • Bronze Sponsor ($250), • Tee/Green Sponsor ($110), and • Junior Golfer Sponsor ($75).

EVICS Receives Grant Support For Family Resource Center Estes Valley Investment in Childhood Success (EVICS) has received grants from two significant Colorado funders to help support the expansion of services as a Family Resource Center. On April 17, EVICS Director Nancy Almond was notified of a $10K grant award from the AV Hunter Trust, the first private foundation in the State of Colorado. The organization funds nonprofits organizations that provide critical services throughout the state. The grant was awarded for general operating expenses, and will be used to help offset the costs of providing childcare scholarships and parent education for the EVICS Family Resource Center.

EVICS Director, Nancy Almond, along with grant writer Sarah Pita, spend countless hours searching out funders whose mission aligns with EVICS and the unique needs of families and children in our community. Their outreach paid off last week when the organization was notified of a grant award from the Colorado Health Foundation. The award for $30K each year over the next three years is significant for the organization.

Almond states: “We are thrilled that the Colorado Health Foundation has chosen to make a sizable investment in the health and well-being of children and families in our community. For nonprofits, sustainable funding is always a challenge. This support will allow us to invest in staffing and programs that will make a lasting impact on individuals

and families.” The funding will be directed to parent education, care giver support, and social-emotional supports for young children.

On April 25, EVICS received official membership status with the Colorado Family Resource Center Association, a long-pursued dream of the organization.

"As a Family Resource Center, our mission remains early childhood services and support, but we will be providing more comprehensive wrap-around services for families, connecting them to resources, and helping them succeed in our community,” said Almond.

Membership in FRCA opens doors to EVICS for resources, training, networking with other communities, and future potential funding, all of which will benefit families in Estes Park. Almond explains, “We are pursuing all funding options to help us meet the increased need for childcare scholarships, provider training and expanded services, and parent education. We are so grateful for the support from these two funders, as well as the many local organizations and others who invest in the success of our community’s children and families.”

EVICS invites community members to stop in anytime, learn about opportunities to be involved, and check out their new location at 1182 Graves Ave, Unit A. Office hours are 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Monday through Thurs, and 8:30 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Fridays. Contact EVICS staff at 970-586-3055 or office@evics.org.

Reward For Carved Bear Stolen From Pinewood Springs Sign

The cute bear that sat on top of the Pinewood sign in Pinewood Springs has been discovered missing. Residents think he may have been stolen.

This bear is very special to residents as it was carved by a beloved friend/resident as a labor of love and it isn't easily replaceable. Every holiday, residents dress the bear up to reflect the season. The dressed up bear shares a bit of cheer and shows a reflection of their community to those who drive by.

Residents are hoping whoever took the bear decides to do the right thing and return him to their neighborhood. When removing the bear, they also caused damage to the beautiful custom sign while they took something meaningful

to many people. They’ve contacted the sheriff regarding this theft and are hoping to appeal to someone's guilty conscience that this kind of thing is not ok.

Residents say, “They picked the wrong neighborhood and the wrong bear.”

If anyone saw anything suspicious, please let them know by calling 303931-8080. There is a $550 reward for information leading to the safe return of the Pinewood sign bear. Please spread the word.

Business Opportunity Home Child Care An in-home childcare can be a great business for someone who enjoys looking after kids and has children of their own they need to care for during the day. Plenty of space and patience also come in handy.

Before you start an in-home daycare in Colorado, you need to know the licensing laws, because caring for someone else's kids is a big responsibility wherever you do it.

In-home childcare in Colorado must be licensed when the care provider is looking after more than four unrelated children. Additionally, no more than two of the four children may be younger than two years. An in-home childcare license allows a provider to care for up to six children with no more than two children under two years.

Choosing to start a childcare business can be intimidating but

Quakers/Unitarian Meeting With Discussion About “Truth”

Estes Park artist John Long will lead a conversation about Truth. In this age of “truthiness” and “fake news” and “10,000 lies,” how do we know what’s true?

The second sentence of the Declaration of Independence begins, “We hold these truths to be self-evident…” Do we still believe in self-evident truths? If so, what are they?

The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth…truth or consequences… truth or dare…a germ of truth…half-

truth…true lies...in vino veritas…speak truth to power…truth, justice and the American Way… Come out for a consideration of the Truth.

The Quaker/ Unitarian Meeting at US Bank Meeting Room. Sundays 10-10:30Quaker Silence; 10:30-11- Social time; 11-12:00- Discussion of Truth by John Long If questions; call Randy Maharry 515229-8299.

New Recycling Facility Proving To Be A Welcome Addition To The Estes Park Community It’s been game-on at the new Estes Park Residential Recycle Center since it opened on May. 1 and by all reports recycling volume is up and unwanted contamination is down. With three large metal storage bins available for residents

by Waste Management, is located at 640 Elm Road. There is now a safe and secure area on-site designated specifically for recycling. When you pull up to the entrance gate, the attendant will direct you where to go.

Materials deposited at the Estes Park Residential Recycling Center will be taken to a WM materials recovery facility (MRF) in Denver where they will be sorted. So, you don’t need to separate your paper, plastics, metals and cardboard. However, it remains important to only put clean and accepted materials into the recycle bins.

Here are a few reminders for proper Community recycling bins at the Estes Park Residential Recy- recycling practices. cle Center, located at 640 Elm Road in Estes Park, are open to - Keep it Clean: Be the public Tues., Wed., Thurs. and Sat. from 8 am to noon and sure all recyclable 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. materials are free of food residue.

Management (WM) reports there has - Paper: All sorts of paper is recyclable been a steadily growing number of residents utilizing the new recycling dropoff center. During the third week of operation, more than 560 vehicles came through the center with recyclables to drop off.

“What we are hearing again and again from people is surprise, and comments like: ‘There is no line.’ and ‘It’s so clean.’” said Jason Gillette, a heavy equipment operator for Waste Management who has been at the recycling center assisting people with unloading their recycling and helping to spread the word about clean recycling practices.

Each of the large, metal community recycling bins at the center has an opening for people to easily deposit items directly into. Since recyclables should never be bagged up, many people find it easiest to bring open bags or containers filled with loose recyclable and dump the materials directly into the opening of the large recycling bins. To save time, WM reminds people to break cardboard boxes flat and cut them down to a size that will fit through bins’ 20-inch opening.

“We are working to make this recycling center a shining example of how zero contamination is possible and have Estes Park recycling efforts become a leading example for other community recycling programs,” said Todd Noe, district manager for Waste Management of Colorado. “The people making the effort to collect their recyclable and come to the center to deposit them are clearly committed to environmental sustainability.

We applaud their efforts and encourage others to follow suit.”

Nicky’s Steakhouse Hosts Business After Hours By: Judi Smith The food at Nicky’s Steakhouse for the monthly Business After Hours was spectacular! Chef Bernie outdid himself with both beef and ham as well as vegetarian finger rolls, shrimp, and deviled eggs, plus plenty of fresh fruit and breads all delectable, as well as a stunning display. New owners John and Lori Thomason certainly hosted a marvelous party for Estes Valley Partners for Commerce on Thursday, May 16, reserving the Cattleman’s Dining Room, so the current events of the Estes Valley could be discussed in a congenial social setting. These, of course, included the question of a Chamber of Commerce (whose interim board is now seated), the pending recall effort (with much speculation as to the fate of the protests), the soon to be completed paving projects, and, most in depth, the lack of potential employees for the summer season. The limited staff, however, leaves everyone short-handed

Early Wildflowers Of Rocky Mountain National Park Have you ever wondered about which wildflowers are the first to peek their heads above the snow in the Rocky Mountains? Join us on June 1st for our Early Wildflowers of Rocky Mountain National Park to learn about which species are blooming and the amazing adaptations that allow them to bloom so early in the season!

Instructor Leanne Benton is a former Rocky Mountain National Park interpretive naturalist who has led wildflower and tundra ecology walks for 25 years, and resulted in reduced attendance at Thursday’s event. Therefore, no BAH will be planned for June or July. Wildside 4 x 4 will host the August event, date and time to be announced.

Paint And Stain Recycling At Estes Recycles Day June 8 By: Timothy Stolz, Bestway Painting

We do our best to put to use all products that can be salvaged. We save good latex paint and usable stain for low-income, senior and non-profit projects.

Ninety-five percent of what we recycle is picked up by Paint Care Colorado and hauled to Denver. Latex products can be re-mixed if usable, or re-made into road base and other useful products. Oil and stain products can be re-mixed, refined, reused, or if bad, used as a fuel supplement at area coal-fired power plants.

We collect our own used mineral spirits and what is brought to us for recycling, then take a truck load to the hazardous waste facility in Fort Collins once a year at our expense.

We do accept spray-can paint, although there is no good resource for it to be recycled.

We assemble one load a year and take it to Fort Collins, at our expense.

We would rather provide this service to our community than have these products disposed of improperly.

The really cool thing about paint stains of all kinds, mineral spirits, varand stain recycling is that once recycled, nish, log oils, lacquer, turpentine, lacit’s gone forever! Done! Gone!

A Guide To Summertime At The Library “Summertime, and the living is easy. ” This weekend marks the traditional kickoff to that glorious season in Estes Park. And the library is here to make it a summer to remember. Here is a handy ‘summer-y summary’ to help you enjoy your library to the fullest: Summer Hours: for your convenience, the library is open an additional six hours each week this summer, opening at 9 a.m. Mondays through Saturdays.

The earlier opening begins this Tuesday. You’ll find the 9 a.m. hour a pleasant and less-busy time to visit.

Parking: Peak parking times are generally late mornings through mid-afternoon, and on festival days. Watch for signage in the library parking lot. Certain areas have time-restrictions that are enforced.

We find the parking garage offers a nice alternative: free unlimited parking, matched with a pleasant Riverwalk stroll to and from the library.

The Twig: Many patrons have their library materials routed to this convenient mini-branch at the Estes Valley Community Center. We deliver items there daily.

You can always use the drive-up book returns at EVCC too.

One-Stop Source for Summer Activities: Summer is packed with great library programs. See the full roster in our Programs & Services Guide, now available online and arriving soon in print form. Pick up a copy in the library or at locations around town.

Summer Reading Program: We’ve made it easier than ever for all ages to log summer reading for great prizes. The Apollo 11 moon landing’s 50th anniversary inspires this summer’s space

Thank You To Volunteers Who Made High Tea And Tell A Great Success mini-buns • Sunrise Rotary of Estes Park for the table service • Planning, coordination and promotion by JoAnn Batey • EVRPD Senior Advisory Committee for support and guidance When Kelly Claypool, Senior and Adult Activities Recreation Coordinator for Estes Valley Recreation and Park District, asked at the end of the event, “Do you want to have this event again next year?” the group replied with a resounding, “Yes.” For more information about adult and senior activities through EVRPD, including similar social events, call Kelly Claypool at 970- 480-1331 or email her at kelly@evrpd.com.

Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVRPD) would like to send out a warm thank you to the volunteers and supporters who helped make the inaugural High Tea and Tell a great success.

On Thursday, May 9, more than 60 people attended the traditional afternoon tea event at the Estes Valley Community Center. While wearing brightly colored hats, sporting fancy dresses, and enjoying a cup of tea, the attendees listened to Lynne Waring, dressed as Alberta Sprague, recite a story about how the Spragues settled in the Estes Valley and started their hotel. As guests

snacked on English-style finger sandwiches and desserts they also shared stories of their own about the tea sets they brought or how they arrived in Estes Park.

Thank you very much to the volunteers who made this event possible.

This event could not have happened without their support and time: • Celestial Seasonings for the wonderful teas • Cinnamon’s Bakery of Estes Park for the

New Pricing Options Coming To The Estes Valley Community Center Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVRPD), provider of recreation opportunities throughout Estes Valley, launches a new pricing structure for the Estes Valley Community Center effective Monday, May 27.

The plan provides several new options: • The addition of a monthly membership for each age category • New rates for groups of four, six and eight • Redefined family memberships to include multiple generations not living together • Family memberships now limited to five people but provides a “kicker” fee for additional members • Increased number of included classes • Expanded hours for CUBZ Den to help parents wanting to work out As EVRPD management has navigated through the opening of the recreation center and the best options for the various patrons, management determined that offering some additional pricing opportunities made sense. Customers didn’t complain about cost but rather about the lack of flexibility in cost structure. In addition, management reviewed the use of the facility and determined that changes needed to be made to the admission groups.

“Our facility is unique in Colorado due

to our proximity to Rocky Mountain National Park and all of the people that the park attracts,” said Ivana Knudson, Guest Services Manager for the Estes Valley Community Center. “The pricing structure wasn’t working for many of our customers or our financial needs to effectively run the building for the longterm business model. Being new to the team gave me an opportunity to take a fresh look at the current situation and identify some of the strengths and weaknesses of our prices.”

Based on Knudson’s research, a new fee structure was proposed to—and approved by—the EVRPD Board of Directors at the April 16 board meeting. The new pricing structure and options launch May 27.

For more information about the specific pricing options and details about the family membership and monthly options, visit evrpd.com. If you have any specific questions about how the pricing structure was determined or have additional questions about the recreation center, call Ivana Knudson at 970-4807556 or email her at ivanak@evrpd.com.

Robert Henry Grewe June 17, 1928 - May 17, 2019 Living his life his way, Robert “Bob” Grewe left this world Friday, May 17th, 2019.

He was preceded in death by his wife Beatrice Grewe 14 years ago and has since wandered in his Winnebago following the advice of Yogi Berra, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”

He traveled coast to coast, Mexico to Alaska, stopping unannounced most places, with the single intent of making sure to entice a smile and a laugh from all he met. Bob and Bea both grew up in the Detroit region of Michigan.

They met at Tahquamenon Falls in the upper peninsula of Michigan after Bob served in the Army Reserves.

They married on January 27, 1951 and moved to Valparaiso, Indiana where he attempted college but was more successful working for Aid Association for Lutherans. He did keep searching, always wanting to meet new people and experience new places. The family was growing and moving about, Chesterton, Indiana, Lake Mills, Wisconsin, Trafalgar, Indiana, Belleville, Illinois, Arvada, Colorado, and he finally chose Estes Park, Colorado in 1970. Bea and the kids put their roots firmly down.

Among many endeavors, Bob worked at The Black Canyon Restaurant, ran printing presses, and helped with Orlando’s Steak House at The Wheel. He

had to get back on the road and started a career as a long haul truck driver working for Monfort. As he aged, he choose to segue into a taxi business in Estes Park. He never did rest much and his idea of a vacation was to drive by places, point, and keep going. Bob was proud of and loved all of his sons and daughters.

He is survived by all six of them.

Donna Dayton (Jerome), Mary Biefel, John Grewe (Amy), David Grewe (Tammy), Lois Pratt (Jon), and Paul Grewe (Kim). He is also survived by grandchildren Nikki, Bryce, Roslyn, Wade, Jennifer, Alisse, Carrissa, Eddie, Martha, and Reed, and by great grandchildren Oakley, Jack, Althea, Saylor, Enola, Abagail, Liam, and Millie (with more sure to come!)

We are sure he shared the same jokes with many of us many times. One he told often: What is God’s name? Bob would then say “Andy” and start to sing “Andy walks with me Andy talks with me and he tells me I am his own.”

Please join us in celebrating this unique fellow. We will gather on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 16th from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. for a Celebration of Bob’s life at the Wheel Bar. In lieu of flowers consider a donation to Doctors Without Borders or Hospice of the Estes Valley in care of Allnutt Funeral Service 1302 Graves Ave. Estes Park, CO 80517.

Tim Kuster Estes Park resident and businessman, Tim Kuster died at home Tuesday afternoon May 21, 2019. He was 62 years old.

Born September 2, 1922 to Alta and Harry Bigler in Denver, Mary spent her early childhood years on a farm near Leader north of Byers, Colorado. When she was 13 the family moved to Wiggins, Colorado where she graduated from high school. In 1940 Mary entered Colorado Teachers College (now University of Northern Colorado) in Greeley. In 1943 she became a war-time bride, marrying her childhood sweetheart, Neil W. Rosener in Stockton, California after he completed pilot training.

Mary followed Neil to state side assignments in Florida and New Mexico until he deployed for war duties in the European theater. Mary returned to Colorado and taught junior high Social Studies in Rocky Ford before teaching in Fort Morgan. Following Neil’s release from a German Prisoner of War camp, the two reunited in 1944 and lived on the Rosener family cattle ranch near Wiggins. Mary was dedicated to her community and was the first woman elected to serve on the Wiggins School District Board of Directors. She also was active in Colorado Toastmistress activities, the Wiggins School Parent-Teacher Association and was a founding member of the Wiggins Community Church where she taught Sunday School, was a choir member, and directed the Children’s Choir.

In 1965 she moved with her family to Estes Park where she became immersed in the community. She was an active member of Newcomers Club and was elected President of the Estes

Park Womens Club.

Other affiliations during her 36-years living in Estes Park included membership in ESA, Estes Park Ladies’ Golf Association, numerous bridge groups, being an original member of the Estes Park Friday Nighters dance club, and helped establish the post-Thanksgiving Holiday House event to support the founding of the Estes Park Medical Center (Estes Park Health).

Bonnie Jean Bowne

Bonnie Jean Bowne, 65, passed away on May 17, 2019 with her mother by her bedside.

Bonnie was born on August 27, 1953 in Ames, Iowa to John and Lea Bowne. The family moved to Arvada, Colorado in 1960. Bonnie graduated from Arvada High School, and later from Colorado State University with a degree in finance and accounting and minors in art history and anthropology.

Bonnie will be remembered for capturing the beauty of nature through her painting and photography. Her passion began in her teens when an instructor at a church camp taught her how to mix paint colors for different effects. Her talents flourished under the instruction of Jeannie MacKenzie of Ft. Collins, Dan Young of Silt, Colorado and Jim Wilcox of Jackson, Wyoming. She received numerous awards in juried art exhibitions. In Bonnie’s words, “I strive to use the medium of oil paint to depict the light and beauty that I see in God’s creation

all around me.”

Her mother, Lea, fondly remembers nearly 100 trips to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons in spring, summer, and fall for photography and painting. Bonnie’s paintings were displayed and sold at the Art Center of Estes Park.

One of her specialties in painting was capturing the breathtaking beauty of aspen trees in the fall. Her forte in photography was capturing wild animals in their habitats at just the right moment.

She patiently waited for spectacular shots of bears and bear cubs, wolves, foxes, moose, ermine, owls, otters, beavers and badgers. Friends looked forward to receiving one of her Christmas cards each year that contained a photograph from a recent trip to Yellowstone.

Bonnie respected wild animals so much that she often declined to tell people where photos were taken because she didn’t want the animals to be disturbed.

In addition to wild animals, she had a special love for Siberian Huskies and en-

joyed the companionship of her two huskies, Tanya and Tasha.

Her working career began with a job in receiving at the Bible Book Store owned by the Yancey family in downtown Fort Collins. She later transferred to Yancey Produce where she worked for over 40 years ending her career as CFO. Bonnie was proud of the conditioning work she did with her trainer Matt Konopka, to prepare for the Fort Collins Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot. Participating in that race was one of her proudest achievements.

Bonnie was predeceased by her father John in 1977, and her sister Ann McClelland in 2018. She is survived by her mother, Lea, who was a beloved companion on their many journeys to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, as well as a devoted caregiver during Bonnie’s illness. In addition, Bonnie is also survived by her close friends: Coreen Boeding, Vickie Mastron, Matt Knopka, and Fred McClanahan Jr. There will be a Celebration of Life Service on Thursday, May 30, at 11:00 a.m. followed by a light luncheon at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, 2000 South Lemay in Fort Collins. Bonnie specifically requested a gathering that focused on the joys in her life, and guests are invited to wear colorful clothing in honor of her passion for the beauty in nature.

Memorial contributions may be made to Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church in Ft. Collins, or the Art Center of Estes Park

517 Big Thompson Avenue Unit 245, Estes Park, CO 80517.

Fun Facts about Bonnie: 1. During a winter trip to Yellowstone, Bonnie was thrilled to see two wolves lying in the snow. Hours later, she zoomed the photograph only to discover that her “wolves” were actually coyotes!

2. Bonnie loved to photograph foxes and traveled far to find them. Once a neighbor called to tell her how much she was enjoying watching a fox with several kits who were denned under Bonnie’s front porch in Fort Collins.

3. Lea fondly remembers Bonnie’s love for all holidays, but especially May Day and Halloween!

4. Bonnie used to bring work home from Yancey’s so her mom, Lea, could help her finish her bookwork. Because of her background in accounting, Lea was put on Yancey’s payroll and worked for her daughter for twenty years!!

5. One summer in Yellowstone, Bonnie had set up her camera on the hood of her car to photograph a bear in the distance. As she was waiting for the perfect shot, Lea tapped on the windshield to warn Bonnie that the bear was getting close to the car - too close.

Bonnie bolted into the car. Fortunately the camera equipment and Bonnie survived the close call, but she missed the photo opportunity!

Russell Alexander Johnson Russell Alexander Johnson (1991-2019) found eternal peace Saturday, May 11 with his loved ones nearby. He is survived by his mother, Carol Johnson of Menomonie, Wisconsin; his father, Robert Johnson of Estes Park; and his sister Kate Johnson of Denver, Colorado.

Russ was looking forward to joining the medial profession in appreciation of the many physicians from Boulder Community Hospital and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN who saved his life from a previous motor vehicle accident in 2014. His doctors at the Mayo clinic knew him well and often called him their “miracle patient.”

Russ was working on his degree and had recently been accepted to the Surgical Tech program at Front Range Community College this fall where he had been awarded a scholarship. Before his passing he was on the most positive trajectory of his life.

Russ didn’t want a funeral or flowers.

In honor of his beloved rescue dog Sampson, Russ asked that family and friends make a donation to any local animal shelter on his behalf.

Please visit www.allnuttestespark.com to leave a message to the family.

memorial day is only once a year

Margaret Lou (Laughlin) Guthrie Margaret Lou (Laughlin) Guthrie passed away at age 90 in her Estes Park home on April 26, 2019. After spending three or so weeks in the hospital recovering from a head injury, she decided to stop receiving treatment and to enter hospice at home.

Margaret was born February 3, 1929 in Eldora, Iowa, to Melvin and Edna (Hunt) Laughlin. She and her two brothers grew up on a 120-acre farm outside tiny New Providence, Iowa. Her mother had been a school teacher, and her father a baseball player (college), carpenter, and farmer. Margaret was raised as a Quaker (Religious Society of Friends, aka Friends). Although later embracing the Self- Realization Fellowship (SRF), she retained throughout her life Quaker values of peace and tolerance.

After graduating from the New Providence high school in 1946, she attended William Penn College (IA) and met her future husband. They married on September 15, 1948. While George attended graduate school at the University of Chicago, Margaret worked, as well as bearing two sons, Steven and Mark. In the fall of 1957 George joined the faculty at Pacific University, Forest Grove. Margaret finished for her BA in English in 1959, before becoming a children’s social worker for the state of Oregon. In 1960, the family moved back to Chicago’s South Side so George could work on his PhD; meanwhile Margaret worked for the Cook Co. Welfare Department. Another move (Fall, 1962) took the family to Toledo, Ohio, for George to teach philosophy and religion at Toledo University (later, University of Toledo).

During this time, Margaret worked first as a social worker licensing foster care homes, then later as a social worker at Toledo State Hospital (Toledo Mental Health Center). Attending night classes at the University of Michigan School of Social Work, Margaret received her MSW in 1970, then her ACSW state license. She worked as a counselor in the Out-Patient Clinic, (later Alzheimer’s and dementia patients), for the Toledo Mental Health Center until it was closed. Frustrated with work, she quit (1973), and started writing.

Her first novel (unpublished) was about the deinstitutionalization experience. Moving to a summer cabin in the

Big Thompson in 1975, they later retired to Estes Park.

She developed her writing skills, attending workshops, writing classes, and a poetry class that got her started writing poetry. She began submitting to magazines. Beginning in 2003 she published three novels, and several books of poetry. Approaching her life’s end, she wrote poems on aging and on the dying process, sharing them with her Grief Group.

Margaret was actively involved in local community and learning groups, including a writing and poetry group, a philosophy and religion group, a science group, and an SRF group. She volunteered with the National Park Service, and the Estes Park library.

Margaret also enjoyed swimming, tennis, hiking (she and George leading trips for the local Colorado Mountain Club), backpacked, and climbed many mountains with her husband and friends. She and George also did some 4-wheeling in their Isuzu Trooper, exploring roads that took them to places such as the Canyonlands. In her later years, she enjoyed exercising at MedX. She was an avid environmentalist and humanitarian, donating to many environmental and peace/humanitarian groups such as Doctors without Borders, Humanity for Habitat, the Environmental Defense Club, Rocky Mountain Conservancy, Amnesty International, PBS, Women’s Rights groups, University of Toledo Philosophy Dept., and William Penn University. She recently received recognition from the Sierra Club for 55 years’ membership.

She was active in the Boulder Meditation Circle, driving every Sunday from Estes Park to Boulder for over 35 years.

She is survived by her two sons, her older brother, Gerald Laughlin, daughter-in-law Janice Pycha; mother-in-law Joanne Guthrie, and nieces, nephews and cousins. Pre-deceased were her husband, George, and her brother, Don. A Memorial Service will be held Thursday, May 30 at 2:00 p.m., at Allnutt Funeral Chapel, 1302 Graves Avenue in Estes Park. Memorial contributions may be made to the Rocky Mountain Conservancy in care of Allnutt.

Dr. Robert Norton Baker Dr. Robert Norton Baker died on May 5, 2019. He passed peacefully at his home in Estes Park, Colorado, in the company of loved ones at the age of 96.

Bob was born in Inglewood, California, and grew up in the Los Angeles area.

He graduated from Central High School in Kansas City, Missouri, and subsequently began his studies at Park University in Parkville, Missouri, and at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, where he received his medical degree in 1950. His career would eventually bring him to Omaha, Nebraska, where he was a professor of neurology and pathology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

At the First Unitarian Church of Omaha, he met and married his beloved wife Noreen “Reenie” (née Isaak) on June 19, 1971. In 1976, the Baker fam-

ily moved to Kearney, Nebraska, where Bob established a private practice in neurology.

After his retirement in 1992, he was honored by his colleagues as a “pioneer physician” for being the first neurologist between Lincoln and Denver. Bob and Reenie then moved to Estes Park, Colorado, fulfilling their dream to live in “paradise.”

Bob and Reenie are survived by their three children: Mark, living in Berlin, Germany; Kent and Melanie, living in Kearney, Nebraska; and two grandchildren, Trevor and Teya, also of Kearney, Nebraska.

A family memorial service was held at his home in Estes Park, Colorado, on May 10, 2019. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Robert’s name to the Unitarian Universalist Association or the American Red Cross.
