The Wine and Chocolate Festival is a prime example of what we strive to do with the Events Complex. For the second year in a row, the Valentine’s week festival sold out to a crowd of 1000 people, who relaxed and enjoyed elegant offerings of local and regional vendors. An intercept survey revealed over two-thirds of out-oftown attendees stayed overnight in Estes Park, supporting local businesses during

a quieter time of winter.

The Event Center is also allowing existing events to grow, for the enjoyment of more residents and guests. Great examples of this include Rails in the Rockies, the Wool Market, Treasure Tables Craft Show and even the Rooftop Rodeo hospitality services.

We’re seeking enticing new, niche events to make their homes in Estes Park. Over the next three years, Estes Park will host three dog shows – all three of these national shows are open to the public. Our facility provides not only space for the exhibition, but serves the needs of the dogs and handlers behind-the-scenes as well.

This is an exciting new market for the Event Center and will become even more popular as more breed associations learn about the facility. Dog lovers, mark your calendars! We just hosted the Leonberger National Dog Show, and the Vizsla National Dog Show will take place April 26 – May 2, 2020, while the Bernese Mountain Dog National Show is scheduled for May 10 - 16, 2021.

For more than 30 years, the Town has planned and undertaken improvements to the Fairgrounds at Stanley Park for the purpose of attracting people to Estes Park and creating a user-friendly gathering place for the community. The Event Center is the Town’s single largest capital investment – an investment in the longterm sustainability of Estes Park’s economy and quality of life for local residents.

Elk Calves Appearing In The Estes ValleyCaution Urged Around Protective Moms

By: Kris Hazelton With the new baby elk calves and the proximity of the elk population to the Estes Park residents and visitors, everyone is urged to be on alert and know that the mothers are not being aggressive when defending their young, just protective. It’s our responsibility to not get too close to the baby or the mother during calving season.

In the event that you encounter a protective mother elk anywhere in the Estes Valley, here are some helpful tips.

Be aware. The best thing to do at this time of year is to be very aware of your surroundings.

The cows have calves all over town and you just never know when you’re going to happen to walk by a mother and calf.

Back away. If you encounter a protective mother, the best thing to do is to back away quickly. Don’t turn your back on her, as you won’t know if she is charging you. Make yourself look large. If you have a jacket, raise it above your head, and swing it around, make yourself look formidable.

Chances are the mother will be glad you’re leaving their space. However, if she continues to pursue you, check around for a stick and if one is available, pick it up and throw the stick at her or if she approaches, give her a whack on her nose to drive her away.

Protect your head. If she is an especially protective mother and charges you to the point of knocking you down, curl up in the fetal position and protect your head and neck with your arms and hands.

She’ll most likely give you a couple of thumps with her legs and then leave you alone, not seeing you as a potential threat anymore.

Advice for dog owners. If you happen to

be walking or jogging with a dog, the elk will be even more on alert and aggressive towards your dog. She will see your pet as a real threat, a predator, to her baby. The best thing to do in this case is turn around and go the other way. If you can’t do that, let your dog go for the time, and save yourself.

The elk will most likely chase off your dog and you can retrieve the dog a bit further down the trail.

Change your route. If the elk are on the trail you frequent, there are miles of other trails, less used by the elk and it is suggested you alter your route for a few weeks to avoid potential problems.

Although the elk are used to seeing people, the elk are very much still wild animals. Adult elk, both male and female, are very large and can be dangerous, particularly if they think a person is threatening their territory or offspring.

Another important note, if you find a baby elk or mule deer, please never go near or touch it. Even though it could appear that its mother is absent, elk calves are seldom orphaned, and its mother is probably feeding only a short distance away. She’ll make herself known very quickly when you get too close!

If you come across a protective female elk, and she is endangering people in a public area, the best thing to do is move away and call the Estes Park Police Department Dispatch Center at 586-4000. They will notify the proper authorities and the volunteers who will temporarily close off the area until the mother moves on with her calf.

Educating ourselves and our visitors about wildlife issues is the right thing to do, especially around calving time and during the fall rut.

Remember, there’s a reason it’s called wildlife.

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 employees were so excited to get their sticker, they were beaming! They were all so happy to be recognized for keeping their trash secure.”

A big “thank you” goes out to Antonio’s Real New York Pizza, Hunter’s Chop House, Olympus Lodge, Penelope’s World Famous Burgers and Fries and Rambo’s Longhorn Liquor for being the first to receive the Gold Star Awards!

If you visit any of these businesses who have this new sticker on display, please, give them thanks and tell them they are doing a great job and doing the right thing to help save our wildlife.

If your business is a true friend of wildlife and you will commit to securing your trash 365 days of the year, you can get your sticker from Tim by messaging him via the Estes Park Wildlife Protection Facebook page or stop down to the Estes Park News office to get yours. You can also nominate a business that you know is doing their part to be a Friend of Wildlife. Make sure to join the Estes Park Wildlife Protection Facebook page for information and tips on how to keep our wildlife wild.

Let’s all do our part to save our wildlife and become Gold Star Award winners and Friends of Wildlife!

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 bearresistant 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.

The Rooftop Rooft f op Rodeo has a very exciting ft 2019 lined up! In addition to last year’s awards, the Rooftop Rodeo has won the PRCA's Rodeo of the Year five times and the Western Pro Rodeo Association’s Rodeo of the Year in 2017 along with numerous PRCA Mountain States Circuit awards. Estes Park Western Heritage provides "boots on the ground" working with the Town of Estes Park to produce the awardwinning Rooftop Rodeo each year.

This year’s Rooftop Rodeo takes place July 8-13. Gates open at 5 p.m. each night and parking is free. We will also have live music, kid’s activities, vendors, and concessions available on midway each night beginning at 5 p.m. The nightly preshow starts at 6:30 with the main performance at 7:00. Kicking off rodeo week festivities will be the traditional Rooftop Rodeo Parade on Tuesday, July 9th starting at 10:30 a.m. Bands, horseback riders, draft hitches, floats, unique automobiles, rodeo royalty, clubs, organizations, traveling bands, trick riders, clowns and more have added a distinctively fun time and western flavor to Estes Park as the colorful entourage makes its way along Elkhorn Avenue to the Stanley Park Fairgrounds.

Attendees can also buy tickets to attend our “Behind the Chutes” tours. Behind the Chutes is your chance to venture out to where all the action happens. You’ll meet the stock contractor, contestants and arena crew who will explain the sport of rodeo. Get an up close and personal tour of the arena equipment, participate in some mock events, see the livestock and meet the clowns. It’s a great time to ask questions and learn more about the sport of rodeo from the pros themselves.

Each night of the rodeo, 10 lucky cowboys and cowgirls will have a chance to compete in the exciting sport of Mutton bustin. While six spots for each night have already been filled by preregistered contestants, kids between the ages of 5-8 (and under 55 pounds) can enter a lot-

tery ffor the h remaining ffour spots each h night by signing up at the Mutton Bustin table between 5-6 p.m.

We are also excited to announce that we be a part of WPRA’s Barrel Racing Tour this year (only 60 of 620 rodeos are invited) and will be offering three nights of "after rodeo" competitions! This will also be our fifth year of working with PRCA Hall of Fame stock contractor Cervi Championship Rodeo. Cervi brings world-class stock and a fast-paced production to the Rooftop. We have gone from a high water mark in 2014 of 475 contestants to almost 800 last year, and we had a record payout to contestants of almost $174,000 in prize money!

The Gold Buckle Experience (formerly the VIP experience) has been rebranded and revamped for 2019. With the Gold Buckle Experience, you get to experience the Rooftop Rodeo in a completely unique fashion. With this ticket, you’ll be able to enjoy an unprecedented level of exclusive access, convenience and extras. The evening starts with an optional tour of the rodeo grounds before the show and you’ll then be escorted to the west end of the arena, home of some of the best views in the stadium. You’ll want to take advantage of the hospitality room where you can rub elbows with the cowboys and enjoy a catered meal from a local restaurant.

While watching the rodeo events, you’ll be taken care of by a designated bartender, providing you with drinks at no extra charge. Sip on a cold one around a tall boy table while the sun sets at your back and the action unfolds in front of you!

You can also check us out on ProRodeoLive.com (who will also broadcast live on the Internet all week) and see us in national rodeo magazines, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Tickets can be purchased at rooftoprodeo.com, by calling 970-586-6104, or by stopping by the Event Center M-F 8-4.

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

33rd Annual Fishing Derby This Saturday, June 1 At Lake Estes Estes Va V Valley lley Recreation and Park Dis) the h provider d off numertrict ((EVRPD), ous recreational opportunities in Estes Valley, is excited to announce that the 33rd Annual Fishing Derby will be held this 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

larges largest fish. Each winner receives a prize, which are donations from local Estes Park merchants.

June 1 and 2 are free fishing days, as designated by Colorado Parks and 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.

According to a survey by Southwick Associates, fishing is not only a popular recreation activity in Colorado, it is a major economic driver for the state, contributing more than $1.9 billion each year to the state’s economy.

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.

A registration form is available online and can be submitted in person or mailed to the Lake Estes Marina store.

The pre-registration fee is $3 per person. Registration on the day of the derby is $4 per person.

Bleeding Control Kit Stations are Installed In Estes Park Schools Estes P E Parkk Health H l h is i proud d to announce the completion of a collaborative effort with the Estes Park community to provide “bleeding control kits” for all three schools in town. As part of the mission of providing high quality trauma care, the Estes Park Health Trauma Committee delivers many important services they: • Provide trauma-related education to medical providers as well as community members • Coordinate and collaborate with local and state trauma-related organizations • Oversee quality improvement services for the Trauma Program at Estes Park Health Scott Chew, MD, the EPH Trauma Medical Director, and Rachel Hofsess, RN NREMT-P the Assistant Trauma Nurse Coordinator and Explorers Post 911 Advisor, have been working with the Estes Park school board, Superintendent Rosenkrance, and school administration, as well as the Explorer Post 911, to provide comprehensive bleeding control education and resources in the Estes Park community.

“Exploring” is a hands-on career education program of Learning for Life, which is an affiliate of the Boy Scouts of America. Estes Park’s local post, Explorer Post 911, is First Responder oriented and jointly sponsored by Estes Valley Fire Protection District, Estes Park Ambulance and Estes Park Police Department. There are currently 13 high school students in the program. All participants have completed their training in both the American Heart Association CPR course and a “B-CON” course. BCON (Bleeding CONtrol) is a curriculum designed by the American College of Surgeons that teaches bystanders how to provide immediate life-saving interventions for uncontrolled bleeding due to trauma. The first few minutes following a traumatic event are crucial in sav-

ll d bl di can iing a lif life. U Uncontrolled bleeding cause death within minutes, even before emergency medical services arrive. Public access bleeding control kits give initial bystanders and first responders quick and easy access to equipment for stopping a life threatening bleed. While Bleeding Control kits are becoming more common in the public, they still fall short in numbers relative to their better-known AED counterparts often seen in churches, airports, school and public areas.

The Explorers Post proposed implementing bleeding control stations in the Estes Park schools as a community service project. The EPH Medical Staff generously provided funding to purchase the three bleeding control stations, which are being installed in each school in prominent locations near an AED. Each bleeding control station contains five bleeding control kits. Each kit has a tourniquet, bleeding control dressing, gloves, and other supplies. There is also one “QuikLitter” that can be used to evacuate an injured person from the area. Additionally, each Explorer has their own medical kit that has bleeding control supplies and basic first aid equipment.

Dr. Chew and Rachel are planning to partner with the schools and the Explorers to provide B-CON classes for the staff and possibly students. Dr. Chew has already taught over 600 students in B-CON classes in the Estes Park community. Future plans include installing bleeding control kits on the school buses for sporting events and field trips, and possibly in the Estes Valley Community Center.

The Estes Park Health Trauma Committee is grateful for the continuing support from Larry Leaming, EPH CEO, the EPH Board of Directors, the EPH Medical Staff, which makes this type of community outreach possible.

PUBLIC WELCOME!

By: Skip von Kaenel, Master Gardener Powdery Mildew Several types of the fungus powdery mildew produce similar symptoms. Powdery mildews are characterized by spots or patches of white to grayish, talcum powder-like growth on leaves or stems. Tiny, pinheadsized, spherical fruiting structures that are first white, later yellow-brown and finally black, may be present singly or in a group. These are the overwintering bodies of the fungus.

The disease is most commonly observed on the upper sides of leaves. It also affects the bottom of leaves, young stems, buds, flowers and young fruit. Infected leaves may become distorted, turn yellow with small patches of green and fall prematurely. Infected buds may fail to open.

Powdery mildews are severe in warm, dry climates. The fungus does not need water on the leaf surface for infection to occur. However, the relative humidity of the air does need to be high for spore germination, so the disease is common in crowded plantings where air circulation is poor, and in damp, shaded areas. Incidence of infection increases as relative humidity rises to 90%, but it does not occur when leaf surfaces are wet from either rain or overhead watering. Young, succulent growth usually is more susceptible than older plant tissues.

Powdery mildews grow only on the surface of the plant, never invading the tissues themselves. The fungi overwinter on plant debris and in spring produce spores that are moved to new plants by splashing raindrops, wind or insects.

Many vegetables have cultivars which are resistant or tolerant to powdery mildew. Ask about resistant varieties before purchasing starts, and by checking seed descriptions. If resistant varieties are unavailable, do not plant in low, shady locations. Other tips include avoiding overhead watering to help reduce the relative humidity, and removing and destroying all infected plant parts. Remove as much of the affected plant and its debris in the fall as possible to decrease the ability of the fungus to survive the winter. Do not compost infected plant debris or turn under the soil as an amendment. Selectively prune overly crowded plant material to help increase air circulation. This helps reduce relative humidity and infection.

If cultural controls fail to prevent dis-

ease buildup or if the disease pressure is too great, a fungicide may be necessary.

These include sulfur, neem oil, triforine and potassium bicarbonate. Chemicals are most effective when combined with cultural controls. Apply at 7-14 day intervals to provide continuous protection throughout the growing season. Follow the instructions on the label for use on specific plant species, varieties, rates to be used, timing of applications, and waiting periods before harvest. [Note: The Estes Valley Community Garden follows organic gardening practices.

Please contact the Garden at evcg@evcg.org before applying any fungicide to your Garden plot. ] Fire blight Fire blight is a bacterial disease that affects apple, crabapple and pear trees, but not cherry trees. Springtime weather that is warm and rainy encourages fire blight.

Bees and other pollinators may introduce the disease to blooming trees during pollination. As a result, symptoms often begin in the blossoms, which develop brown, mushy-looking petals. More commonly, trees with fire blight develop curling, bending and blackening shoots, called shepherd’s crooking. Leaves turn yellow, then brown and finally black but do not fall. Manage fire blight by pruning diseased parts of the tree during the dormant season, or as soon as symptoms develop in spring and early summer. If you must prune during the growing season, when the disease is active, it is extremely important to sanitize pruning tools BETWEEN EACH AND EVERY CUT. Dip tools in household bleach or ethyl alcohol to sanitize.

Last Chance For Mattress Pickup And Recycling

Don’t be this person!

Once upon a time there were only two ways to dispose of an old mattress: take it to the landfill or dump it by the side of the road (we sincerely hope you’ve never done the latter). But now in this brave new age, we have a third and best option: recycle it!

Call Spring Back Colorado at 303-9296191 before 3 p.m. on Thursday, June 6th to schedule a mattress/box spring pickup on Saturday, June 8th—Estes Recycles Day. Spring Back will come to your home or business to pick up mattresses and box springs for the special low, low price of $25 per piece, any size. That’s a fee comparable to the transfer station, and you don’t even have to tie it to the roof of your car and drive it anywhere!

That tired old mattress will be broken down into individual components and recycled. Some parts will even be sanitized and reincarnated into new Colorado Comfort mattresses or Green Pup dog beds.

(Please, no wet or moldy mattresses.

Mattresses must be set up outside on a ground-floor location that’s protected from the weather. Waterbeds are OK; bedbug-infested mattresses are fine too for a slightly-higher fee and if they’re covered with plastic.)

Don’t you feel great knowing your mattress or box spring isn’t taking up 40 cubic feet of landfill space—or heaven forbid, lying by the side of the road? Call Spring Back today to schedule your mattress or box spring pickup!

Estes Recycles Day (June 8) and the associated home pickup of old mattresses is brought to you by the League of Women Voters & Community Recycling Committee of Estes Park. More information is at www.recycleestes.org/recycle-events

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 303-9318080. There is a $550 reward for information leading to the safe return of the Pinewood sign bear. Please spread the word.

Climbing, hiking, skiing, snowshoeing—there’s an awfully long list of reasons Dr. Florence does his job so well. After all, active pursuits are a way of life up here.

So, you need shorter wait times for surgery, a full-time surgeon with accreditation in sports medicine, and a full range of orthopedic services, including total joint replacement. Good thing we have Estes Park Health and people like Dr. Florence to help you go the distance.

Spring Dog Training Course

Spring is in the air and and so is every scent on earth! Is your four-legged friend paying more attention to elk duds than you? Are you wondering when he got so big? Did he always jump on every stranger? Why won’t he listen when you beg him to stop? When did she start chewing on the remote control? Did she always have this much energy? And when did they forget everything they were ever taught? Will they ever learn to come when you call them?

Feeling a bit overwhelmed? Help is on the way. If you are looking for a positive program to enroll your puppy or adult dog in, Linda’s Pet Care Services is offering a basic, five-week positive reinforcement training course beginning Monday, June 3, 2019 at 5 p.m. for dogs of any age.

The course includes all basic commands. We teach both verbal and nonverbal hand signals for Sit, Down, Settle, Off, Don’t Pull, Watch Me, Leave It and Stay as well as recalling, loose leash walking and learning to how to be appropriate with other people and pets while both on and off leash.

There are also weekly handouts, arti-

cles from positive reinforcement trainers and weekly Q & A to discuss ongoing dog behaviors (wanted and unwanted). We cover everything from diet to potty training. There are no wrong questions in this class; all questions are welcome and probably what others are thinking and also want to know!

This class emphasizes teaching owners how to relate to their pets in a more positive and loving way while shaping positive, wanted behavior. More importantly, it teaches us, the humans, to have reasonable expectations and gives logical answers to why some methods work better than others with our dogs.

The course will focus on positive reinforcement training with food rewards and playtime for an all around good time for the owner as well as the dog.

Give your dog (and yourself) the ultimate gift—enroll yourselves in a class today and come enrich your training experience with like-minded owners.

Availability is extremely limited; please call 586-0340 to register today with Linda Wagner at Linda's Pet Care Services.

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

May 21 - May 27, 2019 21 22 23 24 25 26 27

June 21st & 22nd at 7:00 p.m., Estes Park Event Center, Rooftop Rodeo Arena Spend the evening with the talented youth of Coloradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Westernaires riding organization as they present a Wild West show extravaganza like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to believe that these regular â&#x20AC;&#x153;city kidsâ&#x20AC;? 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;best precision mounted drill team at speed, anywhere in the world.â&#x20AC;? 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.

EVERY DAY IS ‘MEMORIAL DAY’ TO THOSE WHO MOURN LOSSES It was Memorial Day, a wonderful day of remembering those lost in the military! It’s also a good time of remembering other loved ones we have lost. However, every day should be a ‘day of remembering’, not only our own losses, but also those of others we know who experience loss. The loss of any loved one results in a myriad of emotions, changes, challenges. Alisha Bozarth has captured those so well in her words about one area of loss…our spouses. She gave me permission to share those. They will help ‘all who mourn’ and, perhaps help all of us as we ‘mourn’ with them and for our own losses.

“Widowhood is more than missing your spouse’s presence. It is adjusting to an alternate lifestyle. It is growing around a permanent amputation. It is going to bed for the thousandth time, and still, the loneliness doesn’t feel normal. The night no longer brings intimacy and comfort, but the loudness of silence and the void of connection.

Widowhood is walking around the same house you have lived in for years and it no longer feeling like home, because ‘home’ incorporated a person and they’re not there. Homesickness fills your heart and the knowledge that it will never returns haunts you. It is seeing all your dreams and plans you shared as a couple crumble around you. The painful process of searching for new dreams that include only you amount to climbing Mount Everest. And every small victory of creating new dreams for yourself includes a new shade of grief that their death propelled you to this path.

Widowhood is second guessing everything you thought you knew about yourself. Your life had molded together with another’s and without them you have to relearn all your likes, hobbies, fears, goals. The renaissance of a new person makes you proud and heartbroken simultaneously.

Widowhood is being a stranger in your own life. You don’t recognize yourself. Your previous life feels but a vapor long gone, like a mist or a dream you begin to wonder if it happened at all.

It is the irony of knowing if that one person was here to be your support, to hold you and talk to you, you would have strength to grieve that one person. the tenacity to tackle this unwanted life, this arduous life of moving on without them.

Widowhood is missing the one person who could truly understand what is in your heart to share. The funny joke, the embarrassing incident, the fear compelling you or the frustration tempting you. So you keep it to yourself. And the loneliness grows inside you. It leaves you struggling with identity. Who are you if not their spouse? What do you want to do if not things you planned together?

What is your purpose if the job of investing into your marriage is taken away? Who’s my close companion when my other half isn’t here?

Widowhood is feeling restless because you lost your home, identity, partner, lover, friend, playmate, travel companion, co-parent, security and life. And you are drifting with an unknown destination. It is living in a constant state of missing the most intimate relationship. No hand to hold. No body next to you. No partner to share your burden. Widowhood is being alone in a crowd of people.

Feeling sad even when you’re happy. Feeling guilty while you live. It is looking back while moving forward. It is being hungry but nothing sounding good. It is every special event turning bittersweet.

Yes! It is much more than simply missing their presence. It is becoming a new person, whether you want to or not. It is fighting every emotion mankind can feel at the very same moment and trying to function in life at the same time. Widowhood is frailty …strength…darkness…rebirth…life changing.” Thanks, Alisha.

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.

Circular Markets to Replace Waste with Reuse By: Judi Smith

The European Union committed to eliminating one-time use plastic by 2021.

We knew this would have an effect on packaging in 2021. However, it looks like we need not wait that long. Terracycle, which has worked diligently for years with the concept of recycling packaging not recognized by single stream sorters, has taken the entire concept of packaging to a new (or maybe an old) level.

“The Loop Store,” a realistic method of returning to the more viable packaging

Charming historic Glen Haven cabin backs to Roosevelt National Forest. Enjoy the quiet endof-the-road location. Two bedrooms with a full updated bathroom. Knotty pine interior with vaulted ceilings and remodeled bath with hand blown glass sink. Functional galley kitchen with separate dining area. Get cozy with a wood-burning fireplace on crisp mornings or gaze out the huge windows for views of Crosier Mtn and Piper Meadow.

of yesteryear, will sell in refillable and returnable containers. Major brands have enlisted to participate in the pilot project, which began this month in Paris and New York. Plans include expansion to London by year-end, and the program aims to be available in San Francisco, Tokyo and Toronto by 2020. The 300 products from 25 manufacturers already on board include Clorox, Crest, Tide, Quaker, Pampers and HaagenDaz. Goto www.theLOOPstore.com to reference full detail.

The pilot functions as a subscription program, with home delivery by UPS and free return of empty containers to be sanitized and reused. However, the ultimate goal of this project, once proven successful, is to get these containers onto the shelves of retail stores and mail order houses, eliminating the need for onetime use packaging and converting to instore returns of empty containers.

Other forms of refillable packaging are already making an appearance, some returnable, some simply reusable by the customer. Both Lumpy Ridge and Rockcut Brewing Co. offer beer in growlers, locally in Estes Park. The trend progresses as Kroger and Whole Foods both offer growlers and in-store beer taps now. Most metropolitan centers across the country offer glass water jugs and vending machine stations to refill them.

Multiple locations, including Bed Bath and Beyond, carry refillable soda stream cartridges, an alternative to plastic sodapop bottles.

Telluride and Mountain Village, separated by a gondola ride, are working together to encourage reusables and to promote pilot programs from Colorado Companies. “Moving beyond recycling” to reusing, the Green Team (Mountain Village) has developed the “Volunteer Single Use Plastic Reduction Initiative” to foster reusable use at local businesses while the Telluride Venture Accelerator has, among its clients, six new Colorado companies who are developing reusable packaging that eliminates one-time use.

Perhaps the best example of this new circular economy is Boulder-based Vessel.

Dagny Tucker (entrepreneur) created a circular ring, now used now by local coffee shops in Telluride, Boulder, and New York City, to replace paper cups.

The coffee shop rents the cups for about the same cost as purchase and disposal of the traditional plastic lined (non-recyclable) paper cup. Coffee comes in a Vessel cup for the same price as coffee in a plastic lined (non-recyclable) paper cup.

Coffee in a paper cup is the same price as coffee in a Vessel stainless steel cup, so use of the cup is “free” provided it is returned in five days (similar to using a library book). If the cup is lost the customer pays $15. This is facilitated by a QR code on each cup, which also assists in locating lost cups.

Vessel coffee cups are collected from coffee shops and on street collection canisters, sanitized and re-rented to coffee shops to complete the loop again.

Most shops who offer Vessel will also fill your own coffee travel mug for the same price. Win-win-win, Vessal, coffee shop, and customer (whose coffee stays hot while saving the Earth).

Remember-the next recycling meeting is 10 a.m., June 5 at the EV Library. Estes Recycles Day is June 8. Reference www.recycleestes.org/recycle-events for event information and RRRcyc2se@gmail.com to reach me directly.

Open House: Jun 2, 12-4pm

Run Or Walk The 16th Annual EP Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K Or 5K June 16th 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.

Learn About Native Orchids At RMC Class June 8th Join the Rocky Mountain Conservancy and instructor Marlene Borneman on June 8th at the RMC Field Institute to learn about native orchids growing in Rocky Mountain National Park. This course will teach you how to identify various orchid species, the characteristics and history of orchids, and how or-

chids develop symbiotic relationships with other plants. The morning half of the course will consist of a brief discussion of wildflowering ethics before participants head into the field to look for orchids in the montane and subalpine zones of Rocky Mountain National Park.

While exploring in the field, participants

can expect short distance walks through level terrain. After lunch, participants will return to the Field Institute to discuss their orchid observations and identifications with Marlene.

Since 1974, Marlene Borneman has steadily developed her passion for native Colorado plants and wildflowers through observation and photography. As a certified Native Plant Master and wildflower photographer, Marlene spends much of her time refining her keen insight on plant life in Rocky Mountain National Park. She is also known for authoring several popular books: Rocky Mountain Wildflowers 2 Ed. and The Best Front Range Wildflower Hikes. Marlene has also earned a 2013 photo award for Native Plant Landscapes with the Colorado Native Plant Society, in addition to contributing to their seasonal newsletter, Aquilegia.

To register or learn more about this course, the Field Institute, the other fascinating classes happening this summer at the Rocky Mountain Conservancy Field Institute, give us a call at (970) 586-3262 or visit us at rmconservancy.org.

He continued his career at Snow Mountain Ranch, the sister camp to Estes Park

Center in Granby, Colorado.

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.

Volunteer Expeditions To Nepal and Beyond “Our Wonderful World” begins its 13th season of armchair travel-adventures this Tuesday, June 4. Over nine consecutive Tuesdays, the public is invited to circle the globe through stories and breathtaking photos, as shared by local and regional trekkers who have followed their calling to extraordinary destinations.

Co-sponsored by the Estes Valley Library and the Estes Valley Community Center, this year’s programs will take place in the lower level of the Community Center, each Tuesday at 7 p.m. All programs are free, and a Community Center membership is not required to participate. Attendees are encouraged to register in advance at estesvalleylibrary.org so we can save you a seat.

Tuesday’s program is titled “Volunteer Expeditions to Nepal and Beyond,” presented by Boulder-based author and traveler Jeff Blumenfeld. His book, “Travel with Purpose: a Field Guide to Voluntourism” gives readers insights

into the vast world of vacation opportunities both near and far that are designed to lend a helping hand. Blumenfeld shows travelers how to identify the right location and opportunity, how to go about planning trips and preparing for volunteering, and how to spot legitimate volunteer opportunities as opposed to those that might be suspect.

Blumenfeld will share first-hand experiences into how voluntourism might inspire anyone to reimagine their next vacation.

For more information about this summer’s full Our Wonderful World schedule, visit estesvalleylibrary.org, where you can also register to attend. A full roster of the series is also available inside the summer edition of the Library’s Programs & Services Guide, now available in print and online.

No More Late Fees?

Why We’re Taking A New Approach Libraries bring happy thoughts to mind: books, cozy chairs, storytimes. Yet some things may give a twinge of anxiety: overdues and—“oh no”—fines.

As librarians, we’re called to be responsible stewards of public funds. We’re the caretakers of the physical collection.

Fines were long seen as a necessary unpleasantry to keep us all honest—or so the thinking went. Up until recently, Estes Valley Library accounts with items 15 days past due incurred a $5 fee.

And weren’t those fees a big source of library revenue? Late fees actually account for less than 1% of revenues (0.24% to be exact). Factor in time spent managing and collecting these fees, and it’s a money-losing proposition.

Clearly, the time had come to find a new approach.

The Library Board of Trustees studied this issue carefully over several months, and based on thoughtful analysis and trends in public libraries, we’re happy to introduce a new policy.

Gone are those $5 late fees. Life happens and we understand it: work demands, family illnesses, weather issues, etc. We just want the materials back, but, more importantly, we want ‘you’ back.

This shift in approach doesn’t relieve Library users of their responsibility. In lieu of a ‘grace period’, accounts are blocked when three or more items become overdue, and/or when there’s a balance of $10 or more. If materials become thirty days past due, we send you a bill.

Patrons are still responsible for the re-

placement costs of lost or damaged items.

Good stewardship is a value guiding this change. And there’s another value at work: the proven success of restorative practices, the very kind modeled by our program partners at Estes Valley Restorative Justice. This new policy moves the needle on the dial away from punishment (the old practice that gave everyone that twinge of anxiety) toward partnership (where we work together for everyone’s best interests).

This ‘no-fine’ approach also removes a real barrier for many of our patrons.

During leaner times of the year, a $5 block can mean some families stop using the library, depriving children of the very resources they need to succeed in school and to bring enjoyment to their lives. The fine-free approach has already been implemented at public libraries across the country. In random surveys, 80% of parents said they are more likely to let children check out materials because of fine-free policies.

One note: late fees will still be charged on items in the Lucky Day collection.

These are a special collection of bestsellers and hot titles that check out for seven days—and they’re clearly identified with a special label.

Saying goodbye to fines gives the library an opportunity to restore our partnership with every member of the community. When more people can use the library, and with a little less anxiety, that’s a win-win for everyone.

Chain Station Brings New Album, Energy To Red, White & Bluegrass At The Old Gallery If you live near Rocky Mountain National Park, you’re probably familiar with the popular bluegrass band Chain Station. After all, the band members call Estes Park home. If you’re not familiar with this high energy, dance-‘til-yourfeet-fall-off band, it’s time you were, especially after the recent release of the band’s exciting third album. And you’re in luck—Chain Station will be playing at Red, White & Bluegrass at The Old Gallery in Allenspark on Sunday, June 30 at 6 p.m.

The new album is Backroads, produced

by Nashville-based music producer Kyle Tuttle of the Jeff Austin Band.

“First the band came together with song ideas and spent two weeks arranging and mapping each of them out. We recorded the rough versions and sent them off to Kyle,” said Jon Pickett.

“We've never had a real producer before.

He helped coax music and ideas out of us we didn't know were there. The songs on this album have more space, more air between the notes, more time for the feel of the song to build. The faster, more powerful songs pack more of a punch.

This album stems from our roots and feels genuine.”

The band is excited about playing at the inaugural Red, White & Bluegrass at The Old Gallery. Pickett said, “This is the

first time we've had the privilege to play a big little show for so many of our mountain friends in such a unique and beautiful venue like The Old Gallery!

Allenspark is right down the street from Estes Park, where the band was born. As our mountain-backyard it feels like home and we're really looking forward to this!”

When asked what he’d want someone who hasn’t experienced Chain Station to know, he said,” Our music is fun and infectious. It's genuine and fueled by the energy and love from our friends, family and every one of our ‘frans’ (friend+fan) in the crowd sending us their good vibes! We draw our energy from the crowd at live shows and then send it right back through music—and on the cycle goes!”

He added, “One spot I call my ‘peace place’ is in Allenspark. It’s where a cliff drops off down to the St. Vrain River in the shadow of Meeker. But don’t tell anyone how to find it or it’ll be packed.”

Admission to Red, White & Bluegrass is $35 in advance and $40 at the door, subject to availability. It includes an Italian dinner by The Dunraven Inn and cash bar. Tickets are available at www.theoldgallery.org and a sell-out is expected. The event starts at 6 .m. and is sponsored by Left Hand Brewery and

The Estes Park Thrift Store.

Other music events scheduled at The Old Gallery include Hogabluesa Blues, BBQ & Brews featuring Mojomama and catering by Smokin’ Dave’s BBQ. It takes place on Saturday, July 27 at 6 p.m. Advance tickets are $40 or $45 at the door, subject to availability. Limited tickets available and it’s a sell-out every year.

The famed Takács String Quartet will also be performing at The Old Gallery on Saturday, Sept 14 at 4:30 p.m. Advance tickets are $50 and it’s always a sell-out.

The Old Gallery is a nonprofit center

for community, the arts and visitors. It’s home to 20+ accomplished artists who display and sell their works of art. The center also provides entertainment, educational lectures, classes and social services to the Peak to Peak mountain communities. Between Memorial Day and mid-October, a Rocky Mountain Conservancy Nature store is also operating at The Old Gallery.

The Old Gallery is located at 14863 Colorado Highway 7 in Allenspark, just 20 minutes south of Estes Park. To view a complete list of all events, visit www.theoldgallery.org.

Lily Lake Phenology Walk At Rocky Mountain National Park Help Rocky Mountain National Park document seasonal biological events as a citizen scientist on your next stroll around Lily Lake. The Lily Lake Phenology Walk allows visitors to Rocky Mountain National Park an opportunity to collect scientific data and learn more about plant and animal species found within the park. Over time, as observations are collected, the park will gain a better understanding of how plants and animals at Rocky Mountain National Park respond to environment changes.

Has there been a shift in when willow shrubs begin to bud in the spring? Are Aspen leaves changing color later or earlier than in the past?

With just a smartphone or a tablet with an internet browser, the Lily Lake Phenology Walk webpage provides descriptive images to help answer simple questions related to the timing of biological life cycle events of certain species found along the trail. Adding only 20 minutes

to your hike on the 0.8-mile trail that circles Lily Lake, this activity is perfect for frequent or one-time visitors of all ages.

Phenology, the study of the timing of biological life cycle events and how climate and habitat influence them, has been a topic of interest lately as we contemplate how species will react to a changing climate. The data gathered with the Lily Lake Phenology Walk can help determine if there are shifts in the phenology of the park’s species in this area.

Further information about the Lily Lake Phenology walk, including links to the questions page and previously submitted data is available at go.nps.gov/LilyLakeScience. 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
