Recovery Operations For Ryan Albert Missing Since Early October Last Saturday, a team of two Rocky Mountain National Park climbing rangers conducted a patrol of Longs Peak. While patrolling down the section known as The Trough, rangers found a glove that matched the brand that Ryan Albert was believed to have been wearing. Albert was last seen on October 4, 2018.

On Thursday, May 30, a team of four highly skilled park climbing rangers ascended The Trough and after several hours of searching in this steep winter alpine terrain, located Ryan Albert’s body covered in deep snow at an elevation of approximately 12,300'. This location is approximately 1,000' below The Ledges section of the Keyhole Route (approximately 2,000' below the summit). This area is in winter conditions with deep snow and ice.

On the morning of May 31, rangers completed an on scene investigation and Ryan Albert’s body was recovered by helicopter. His body was transferred to the Boulder County Coroner’s Office. Boulder County Coroner’s office will not release positive identification until completion of an autopsy. Once the investigation is complete more details will be released. Until then, no further information is available.

On October 5, 2018, search efforts began in the Longs Peak area of Rocky Mountain National Park for Ryan Albert after he was reported overdue by a family member. Albert was last seen on October 4, by another park visitor at approximately 10:30 a.m. in the area of Granite Pass heading toward The Keyhole on Longs Peak. Inclement weather that started on October 4, was the beginning of a multi-day weather pattern of extreme conditions including low visibility and fog, thunderstorms and snow showers and freezing temperatures in the 20s and 30s. Search teams faced pockets of deep snow as well as verglas ice. Those winter conditions

lasted through the search efforts.

During the first two days of these search efforts in October, in challenging weather and terrain, teams were able to search higher elevations including sections of the Boulder Field, the Keyhole Route, The Loft, Chasm Cirque, North Longs Peak and Boulder Brook. As the snow accumulation and ice continued to build at higher elevations, teams worked lower in the search area throughout the first week. On Friday, October 12, eight days after Albert was last seen, a break in the weather allowed aerial reconnaissance to take place. In addition to searchers looking from the helicopter, footage was taken of high probability areas. Rocky Mountain National Park Search and Rescue team members spent numerous days reviewing the extensive footage.

Another significant winter storm began late Saturday, October 13, bringing additional snow accumulation at higher elevations. On Thursday, October 18, through Saturday, October 20, teams went back to the upper mountain at the Keyhole and Ledges area and again faced continuing deteriorating conditions including waist and chest deep snow, steep icy slopes and extremely slow travel. On Sunday, October 21, a team traveled to the Chasm Cirque area and visually searched Lamb’s Slide, Mills Glacier, Camel Gully and the Chasm View fall line with binoculars and spotting scopes.

Assisting Rocky Mountain National Park Search and Rescue team members during the previous search efforts in October were Larimer County Search and Rescue, Rocky Mountain Rescue based in Boulder County, Trans Aero, Northern Colorado Interagency Helitack and Colorado Search and Rescue Board members. When conditions allowed, dog teams from Larimer County Search and Rescue, Rocky Mountain Rescue and Front Range Search and Rescue Dogs also assisted.

EVFPD firefighters generally respond to medical calls in their personal vehicles, allowing for a faster response. On other incidents, firefighters respond to a fire station to respond in department apparatus with specialized equipment.

During the week of May 26, the Estes Valley Fire Protection District (EVFPD) responded to 10 calls for service. This

included: • Emergency medical (assist EPMC): 2 • MVC: 1 • Smoke/Odor Investigation: 3 • Alarm Activations: 2 • Fire: 1 • Helicopter Standby: 1 Estes Valley Fire www.estesvalleyfire.org

The Bears Are Out And About

Kris Hazelton

Bears have been seen frequently in our area and are on the prowl for food. Colorado Parks and Wildlife is sending its annual reminder, asking Colorado residents and visitors to be “Bear Aware.”

In early spring, bears can usually find sources of natural food as wild plants begin to grow nutritious new sprouts. Bears also prefer natural sources of food. But if food becomes scarce some bears will go to residential areas looking for a meal.

Significant bear/human conflicts usually don’t start until mid-summer. But now’s the time to start thinking about how you can be bear aware. By taking some simple precautions, you can avoid conflicts with bears at your home and in your neighborhood.

Here is a list that will help us to keep bears wild: Keep garbage in a well-secured location.

Only put out garbage on the morning of pickup.

Clean garbage cans regularly to keep them odor free.

The scent of ammonia can deter bears.

Use a bear-resistant trash can or dumpster. These are available from your trash hauler or on Internet sites.

Bears have an excellent sense of smell, so try to prevent odors. If you don't have secure storage, put items that might become smelly into the freezer until trash day.

Keep garage doors closed.

Lock your doors when you’re away from home and at night.

Keep the bottom floor windows of your house closed and locked when you're not at home.

Clean-up thoroughly after picnics in the yard or on the deck. Don't allow food odors to linger.

Talk to your neighbors and kids about being bear aware.

Minimize items that attract bears or other wildlife.

Do not attract other wildlife by feeding them, it’s illegal.

Don't leave pet food or stock feed outside.

Bird feeders are a major source of bear/human conflicts. Attract birds naturally with flowers and water baths. Do not hang bird feeders from April 15 to Nov. 15.

If you must have bird feeders: clean up beneath them every day, bring them in at night, and hang them high so that they're completely inaccessible to bears.

Bears have good memories and will return to places they’ve found food.

Allow grills to burn for a ten minutes after cooking to burn off grease and to eliminate odors. Clean the grill after each use.

If you have fruit trees, pick fruit before it gets too ripe. Don't allow fruit to rot on the ground.

Secure compost piles. Bears are attracted to the scent of rotting food -- and they'll eat almost anything.

If you keep small livestock, keep animals in a fully covered enclosure, don’t store food outside, keep enclosures clean to minimize odors, consider electric fencing whenever possible.

If you have bee hives, install electric fencing where allowed.

Be careful with vehicles and at campsites do not keep food in your vehicle; roll up windows and lock the doors of your vehicles.

When car-camping, secure all food and coolers in a locked vehicle after you’ve eaten.

Keep a clean camp, whether you’re in a campground or in the back-country.

When camping in the back-country, use bear proof containers for any food or scented items.

Don’t bring any food or fragrant items into your tent Cook food well away from your tent; wash dishes thoroughly.

Elk Calves Appearing In The Estes Valley-Caution 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

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 drive Kris Hazelton a few weeks to avoid potential problems. her away.

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.

Cowboy Brad Fitch In Bond Park Sing-A-Longs

Cowboy Brad Fitch will again host his Cowboy Singalong programs, beginning June 9 and running through August 12 this summer. These shows happen Sunday and Monday evenings at 7 p.m. and are sponsored by the Town of Estes Park, local merchants and individual donors.

“I have been performing this series for more than 20 years,” Fitch said. “The shows are free and open to the public in a lovely outdoor venue (Bond Park) in downtown Estes Park.”

This series originated in the mid-1990s, when it was exclusively cowboy music.

Though the name has been retained, the hour-long performance has evolved to include campfire favorites, classic country, folk, kid songs and Fitch’s own compositions.

“I never prepare a set list and take requests as often as I can,” Fitch said.

“Sometimes, I invite my band members to join me in the performance.

The result is that the program is never exactly the same, though a few of the songs may be from night to night.”

Although this is an uncovered, outdoor venue, rain-outs are rare. Attendees often bring along blankets or folding chairs to sit on, as the park has limited seating but plenty of room to spread out.

Sponsorships are organized

by Ann Taylor, owner of the Colorado Homestead shop in Estes Park. “Sponsors often give prizes that I can award to audience members through contests, such as dancing, trivia questions, etc. It’s always lots of fun and I hope everyone will check it out this summer,” Fitch said.

Flag Day Is June 14th June 14 is the annual observance of Flag Day, to commemorate that day in 1777 when the Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as a symbol of the new nation the United States of America. American Legion Post 119 invites everyone to join them in honoring this day at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, June 14th in the front yard of the Post at the corner of Highways 7 and 36. A short

program will be held that showcases Old Glory, and includes a ceremony for the disposal of unserviceable flags. And remember to fly your flag on that day!

I feel like I just took my college-bound child to her new dorm room on a campus far from home, gave her a kiss and left her there, utterly alone, small and forlorn. But I didn’t, because I don’t have a daughter.

Nonetheless, I can imagine what it must be like. It’s probably a lot like what I felt when I took my mom to her new assisted living apartment, unpacked her bags and left her there, alone, small and vulnerable. (I’ve been back every day since so I didn’t abandon her. It just felt like it that first day. In fact, initially I couldn’t bring myself to leave her so I brought her home and had her, along with my brother, stay here. We knew that eventually we’d have to let her fly, but not yet. Even if she was ready, I wasn’t.)

The decision to move Mom to assisted living was agreed upon by all five of her kids.

None of us wanted to move her; we all wished she could stay as independent and active as she always has been, in the city where we all grew up. Each one of us had an opinion about where she should go next, yet thankfully we put aside our self-interests and came to a consensus about what was best for Mom. Then we all did our part to make it happen.

For the most part, Mom was ready. Since my dad died seven months ago, she’s been adrift—lonely uninvolved. Of course she’ll miss her local grandkids, her great granddaughter and her months-old great great granddaughter (not to mention her son and his wife who lived an hour away). She’ll miss her social life, including her golf friends who still took her out for birthday lunches; Ann, her friend of 40+ years who went on many an adventure with her; and Jackie, who took her to church when she gave up driving. At 84 years old, Mom is having to start over in an unfamiliar place, trying to make new friends. I remind her that she hasn’t met her next best friend yet,

and we both are counting on that in our lives. (Thank you, Karen D., for that nugget of hopeful thinking.)

About 15.7 million adult family caregivers care for someone who has Alzheimer's disease or other dementia. My siblings and I have joined the club, and we are all honored to be there for Mom. Plus, now I’ll get to see my sibs more often because they’ll stay with me when they come to visit Mom. My brother from overseas was just here to aid in her move, my sister from the east arrives today with her boys and my other sister from the western edge of the country will be here in July. Our oldest brother is only a three-hour drive away. His wife (my sister-in-law) tells me they plan on visiting once a month. I love having a revolving door, I love my family, and we all love Mom. It’s a win/win, some people would say.

One thing I didn’t expect: we had to give up our family phone number of 46 years— the number I could dial in my sleep—and that was hard. I asked if there were any way to keep it. Even though we had to let go of the area code, could we keep the main number? Because of 911, we could not. It seems like a minor loss, and it is, but it signifies so much more.

Onward.

We are going to make many happy moments (not memories, but moments) with Mom and will do our best to stay focused on today. Today—this very instant—is really all we have.

Platte River, Owner Communities Ink New Contract Platte River Power Authority’s owner communities today signed an extension to the organic contract extending the life of Platte River through 2060. New power supply agreements (PSAs) were also executed, running concurrently with the organic contract.

“Platte River has served our northern Colorado communities very well for the past 45 years and will continue to move the organization foreward,” said Todd Jirsa, Estes Park mayor and board chair of Platte River. “I’m pleased to help move everyone toward a new energy future.”

“The collaborative bond between Platte River and our owner communities has been very strong since we began operations in 1973,” said Jason Frisbie, general manager and CEO of Platte River, “and we are honored for the opportunity to continue serving our owner communities for years to come.”

The organic contract, initially executed in 1975, established Platte River as a political subdivision authorized to provide wholesale power to its owner communities. The PSAs are the agreements under which Platte River provides power to the owner communities. Extending these agreements through 2060 will provide long-term stability for Platte River to make needed business decisions.

Changes to the PSA include:

• A provision allowing third-party energy providers to site solar generating capacity on customer property and to sell output to the customer • Changing the metering point at substations to prepare for a wholesale electricity market • Creating a mechanism for routine updating of the PSAs to reflect changes in the electric industry • Updating the description of the delivery substations “The updated PSA will now enable our owner communities to provide their customers with greater energy resource flexibility and help us pursue opportunities with a regional energy market, which is necessary to achieve our noncarbon energy goals,” said Frisbie.

The organic contract and PSAs took effect immediately upon the signatures of the mayors and Frisbie.

Platte River Power Authority is a notfor-profit wholesale electricity generation and transmission provider that delivers safe, reliable, environmentally responsible and financially sustainable energy and services to its owner communities of Estes Park, Fort Collins, Longmont and Loveland, Colorado for delivery to their utility customers.

“Loving What Is:” Book Club Begins June 15 “Being Awareness” is the title of a book discussion series being hosted by the Estes Valley Library and SummitStone Health Partners. This season’s featured book is Byron Katie’s “Loving What Is.” For those who sign up, a complimentary copy of the book is now available to read in advance.

The series will take place over three Saturday mornings this summer: June 15, July 20, and August 24, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at the library.

Author and motivational speaker Byron Katie states, “It’s not the problem that causes our suffering: it’s our thinking about the problem. ” Contrary to popular belief, she posits, the usual effort to let go of a painful thought is never successful.

Instead, once we have applied four simple questions to the problem, the thought lets go of us. At that point, she says, we can truly love what is—and just as it is. “Loving What Is” helps guide readers on this path to healing and empowerment.

Facilitating the discussion will be Meemee Lahman, Behavior Health Clinician for SummitStone Health Partners. SummitStone is a nonprofit organization serving Larimer County and dedicated to helping people transform their lives through recovery, renewal, and respect.

To register for the program, visit the Books & Authors link at estesvalleylibrary.org, then visit the library to pick up your copy of “Loving What Is.”

Trail Ridge Road Opens For The Season May 28 on Trail Ridge Road. Photo courtesy Rocky Mountain National Park.

Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park is open for the season.

Due to melting snow on the road and the potential for freezing temperatures visitors should be prepared for icy conditions. At this time, night time closures will not be implemented. However, because weather conditions may change rapidly, night closures are possible. Park visitors should be prepared to adjust travel plans accordingly and are encouraged to call the park’s Trail Ridge Road recorded phone line at (970) 586-1222.

Park staff will update the recorded line during and after regular office hours, when the road status changes. Alpine Visitor Center and Trail Ridge Store are anticipated to open by this weekend.

Trail Ridge Road historically opens on Memorial Day weekend; last year the road opened on May 24, in 2017 it opened on May 31 due to a late May snowstorm. The earliest the road has opened was on May 7, 2002; the latest June 26, 1943. Trail Ridge Road is the

highest continuous paved road in the United States, climbs to 12,183 feet and connects the towns of Estes Park and Grand Lake. Trail Ridge Road officially closed for the season last year on October 31.

National Park Service plow operators normally begin clearing the snow in the middle of 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 at the Alpine Visitor Center. The visitor center is the highest in the National Park Service, sitting at 11,796 feet above sea level.

Spring storms often impact plowing activities. This year, crews ran into average or below average snowpack in many locations until May when numerous spring storms brought significant snow and drifting above 11,500 feet.

For more information about Rocky Mountain National Park visit www.nps.gov/romo or call the park’s Information Office at (970) 586-1206.

Preparing For The Unexpected- It’s Always Smart By: Kris Hazelton

One year ago, our youngest grandchild, Oliver was born. He was born a bit premature and his lungs weren’t quite ready to do the work they needed to do here at altitude so just hours after his birth, little Oliver had to be airlifted from the Estes Park Health delivery room to Children’s Hospital in Aurora. Gary and I watched as little Oliver’s helicopter lifted him off to Children’s, hoping his life would be saved. That heart-wrenching scene forced us to ask the question that should we ever have the need for air transport, are we covered and if we weren’t, how much would it set us back?

After doing some investigation, we discovered the AirMedCare Network, (AMCN) and learned that out of pocket expenses for emergency air medical transport averages $18,000 (many flights can cost even more!) That would really set the family finances back! But, with an AMCN membership we also learned that we could have peace of mind knowing we’d have no out-of-pocket expenses if flown by an AMCN provider. Now, thanks to AirMedCare Network, those fears are no longer an issue for us as we decided to sign up for this membership, just in case we should ever need it.

As AMCN members we are now covered by over 320 locations across 38 states including Alaska and Hawaii.

AMCN has highly skilled nurses and medics and pilots ready 365 days a year.

The mission of AMCN is to make it possible for people living in rural areas such as ours, to get the life-saving emergency care we need, when we need it. If you or a family member experience a life or limb threatening emergency, AirMedCare alliance of air ambulances can provide medical transport-dramatically reducing travel time to an emergency treatment facility.

Thanks to the support of over three million members nationwide, AirMedCare Network providers can provide financial peace of mind for you and your family…while providing this vital service to our community. Think of those you know who have either been in a serious car accident or had a medical emergency and had to be helicoptered down to a hospital in the valley, better equipped to deal with life-threatening medical issues. Knowing that participating providers are able to transport those in need, patients can worry about healing and moving on with life, instead of being bogged down by high medical transport bills. The AirMedCare Network combines the membership programs of four leading air ambulance operators, the largest of its kind in the United States.

Annual membership is just $85 per household ($65 for seniors over age 60).

They also have multi-year memberships at a discounted rate, as well as a Fly You Home service that gets you home to a

local hospital in the event you're hospitalized while away from home. The AMCN ten year membership option will protect you and everyone living in your household for ten years for a one-time payment of $765.

There are several reasons why members generally prefer a ten year option in this area: 1. Provides the best value-your discount is the highest at the ten year membership level.

2. Protects your rate: by choosing a ten year membership, it locks your one-time

payment in. If rates are raised, you and your household will not be affected.

3. Prevents a potential lapse in your coverage-by investing in a ten year membership, it alleviates any worries or hassles of not getting renewed annually.

If you are interested in learning more about the AMCN, contact local membership sales Manager, Amy Scott at 720-237-5959 or you can also go to www.AMCNRep.com/Amy-Scott and enter Track Code: 13820 to find out more information.

Estes Park Health Recovering Quickly From Cyber-Attack Patient Safety and Care were at the center of every decision After the Sunday morning, June 2, malware attack, Estes Park Health was functioning in a normal state, in most of our services, by early Monday afternoon. Unfortunately, this type of attack is far too common in the world today. Several large corporations were attacked in a similar fashion this week. Because of the dedication of the Estes Park Health IT Department, we can report that no patient, financial or employee information was copied or removed from our system. Most importantly, patient safety and care were never at risk because of the professionalism of the entire staff, and the fact that there are protocols and procedures in place to handle emergency situations at Estes Park Health To recap the last few days at Estes Park Health: 1. On Sunday morning June 2nd, approximately 1:30 a.m., a member of the Estes Park Health IT team noticed some abnormalities in the system. The IT member realized that the Estes Park Health system was under a virus attack and quickly shut down avenues for the virus to spread. This quick action significantly limited the effectiveness of the attack.

2. IT then received a message from the attackers stating that the systems they had been able to reach were now locked and a ransom message would follow.

3. Estes Park Health was prepared for such an attack. The Leadership Team realized that Estes Park Health was as vulnerable as any company to come under this kind of attack and had purchased cyber insurance specifically for this type of event.

4. Once it was determined that this was a ransom situation, Estes Park Health contacted the insurance carrier, law enforcement and the FBI. At that point, additional cyber security resources were activated, and negotiations began between the insurance company and the cyber attackers. Once Estes Park Health fully understood the systems that were locked and how critical they were to operations, a ransom amount was negotiated and paid by the insurance company. Fortunately, Estes Park Health will only have the de-

ductible to cover.

5. Restoration of systems is still a work in progress. The Physician Clinic software has been moved to a read-only mode allowing physicians to review patient records. Physicians are currently using voice transcription documentation to capture patient visits and that transcribed information will be entered into a patient’s file when their software is fully functioning.

6. We will not understand fully how this attack entered our system until a comprehensive investigation is completed, but preliminary indications suggest access was made through a user account belonging to a third-party vendor.

7. Estes Park Health’s IT department has, and will continue to, work together with peer hospitals on the Front Range and around the state to help all healthcare institutions in Colorado stay strong against the threat of cyber-attacks. The tremendous cooperation of the healthcare IT leaders in our state is a wonderful example of the collaboration needed to bring great care to all citizens.

The Mission of Estes Park Health is to exist to make a positive difference in the health and well-being of all we serve.

This statement is not just for the clinical departments. It applies to every department that works behind the scenes to make sure we deliver safe healthcare services at every stage of our patient’s journey. The IT Department’s quick response to shutting down this cyber-attack and their ability to restore as many systems as they did by Monday morning, is a shining example of how we live out our Mission every day.

Estes Park Health Senior Team and Board representatives will be at a table during the Farmers Market on June 6 from 8:00 a.m. until 12 noon. Please stop by with any questions you might have for Estes Park Health. The table spot is just outside Town Administrator Frank Lancaster’s office along MacGregor, near the trees and planter.

Please send any questions concerning this situation or about Estes Park Health to info@eph.org and we will respond to your inquiry.

St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church is sponsoring a presentation on dementia

by Cyndy Luzinski, Executive Director of Dementia Friendly Communities of Northern Colorado, to be held in the church parish hall on Saturday, June 15th at 10:30 a.m. - noon. The title of her talk is ‘Helping our Friends and Loved Ones Live Well with Dementia’.

The presentation is free and open to the public. St. Bartholomew’s is located at 880 MacGregor Avenue in Estes Park.

This past year, St. Bart’s started the first Memory Café here in Estes Park to support those with Dementia and their spouses/caregivers in a social, enjoyable and stress-free environment. Cyndy was instrumental in helping us understand Dementia and how to support those who are experiencing it. Anyone interested in the topic or in the Memory Café is welcome and encouraged to attend. Questions? Please call the office at 970-586-4504.

Dances of Universal Peace Saturday, June 15th Saturday, June 15th is just around the corner, so please mark your calendars to attend the Dances of Universal Peace at 2 p.m. at the Estes Park Yoga Center.

Deep appreciation goes out to those who came to celebrate last month and also got a taste of the Dances at the “Sweet Peace Jam.” The space reverberated with the warmth and connections generated there.

The sweetness of finding peace and connection in the midst of the busyness of Elkhorn Ave. can not be overlooked.

One finds the songs and movements reflecting the values from other cultures

are easily learned and lead to a sense of wellness and belonging.

The dances are offered by donation; no one is denied joining in these interfaith practices with the repetition of sacred phrases and heartfelt movements.

You may want to bring water to revive you after the exuberant dances; also, refrain from wearing fragrances, as some people have sensitivities.

After the dances, you are invited to come join us for dinner. Call Linda Bensey at 970-214-7719 for additional information.

I am looking for the good old days.

Days when one could go to a store, a real building, and find all the common things you needed. Now what brings on this moaning and groaning? I ran out of my box of sterile rolled cotton. I must admit I have had it for well over 10 years so there must not be too much of a demand for sterile rolled cotton in a box.

The brand name was “Curity.” You can hardly find that brand anymore. I found cotton balls, cotton pads or gauge bandages, but not a box of sterile rolled cotton.

Finally, the internet gave me the answer. CVC Pharmacy had it under the brand First Aid. So now I have two boxes of cotton, one of which I will never use in my lifetime as the original box lasted so long. But I could not take the chance of not being able to get it again. So, if anybody needs some sterile rolled cotton, just call me. You can also call in a week or so for some rhubarb.

Speaking of rhubarb, I made a great streusel rhubarb loaf the other day. I found a recipe on the internet and had to try it. I adjusted it for our Estes Park altitude. I used frozen rhubarb from last year. I defrosted it slightly. I think it will be even better with fresh. It made two loaves, so I brought one to our duplicate group. It disappeared in a flash.

Cinnamon Streusel Rhubarb Loaf Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees 2-greased 8 x 4 loaf pans 1 ½ cups loosely packed brown sugar minus 3 Tbs. ½ cup vegetable oil 2 eggs 1 cup buttermilk plus 3 Tbs. (or 1 cup milk plus 2 Tbs. with 2 Tbs. vinegar or

lemon juice) 2 tsp. vanilla 2 ½ cups flour plus 4 Tbs. 1 ½ tsp. baking soda minus 3/8 tsp.

1 tsp. salt 2 ½ cups rhubarb, cut into ¼ inch slices or chopped coarsely.

For the streusel ½ cup white sugar ½ cup brown sugar ¼ cup flour 4 Tbs. soft butter 2 Tbs. cinnamon Whisk brown sugar, eggs, oil, milk and vanilla until smooth. Slowly whisk all other ingredients into bowl except rhubarb. Mix till smooth, stir in rhubarb.

Make topping: combine all ingredients in small bowl and work butter into dry ingredients until crumbly.

Pour a little less than ¾ batter* over the two pans, leaving a small amount of batter unused. Sprinkle ½ of topping over batter. Press lightly into batter.

Cover with remaining batter and use rest of topping over loaves again pressing topping light into batter. Place on center rack of oven. Bake 55 minutes and check for doneness.

Remove from oven. Cool for 10 minutes and remove from pans. *Original recipe called for ½ of streusel topping to be in middle of loaf, using half of batter and then the topping. I was afraid that added too much sugar to the center of loaf here at high altitude. You can try that, but I did not.

priority. These are considered level 3 performers and will be subject to a jury process.

The Estes Arts District’s mission with Friends of Folk Festival is to grow this event into a well-executed, professional level festival while still maintaining Dick Orleans’ original vision of promoting new and emerging artists. This is not a “talent-show” format.

If you feel you meet the criteria, please submit your audio/video files to info@estesartsdistrict.org.

Deadline for submissions is Tuesday, June 11th by 5 p.m.

The Fourth Annual Friends of Folk Festival takes place on Tuesday, June 25th from 4- 9 p.m.

The musical performance aspect of this festival is done in a similar format to the original vision/intention of the late Dick Orleans – who began “Friends of Folk” – to promote new and emerging artists in Estes Park.

This is for regular performers (individuals or bands) who are looking for some “audience/microphone” time . . .

The following are the criteria we hold for submissions: 1) The Estes Arts District’s goal with the 2019 Friends of Folk Festival is to promote solo, duo, trio, etc . . . acts (newly formed bands) who are seeking to gain exposure and experience in front of a microphone and an audience. These are considered level 1 (primary priority) performers, though they may be subject to a jury process.

2) Any acts who are ongoing and known in the Estes valley (and the immediate Front Range) - as regular performers/entertainers are level 2 (secondary priority) performers, and may be subject to a jury process.

3) Any acts who do not meet criteria above are lower tier

On Saturday, June 8 park staff will offer two great events to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day. In the morning, go on a bird walk in Rocky Mountain National Park! Join us for an opportunity to learn more about migratory birds while exploring the park with experienced bird watchers. The event will begin at 8 a.m. at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center.

After a short introduction, visitors and bird walk leaders will caravan into the park to view birds in a variety of habitats. The activity is free of charge, but park entrance fees will apply. This guided walk will have naturalists and expert birders to help beginners identify birds; all ages and abilities are welcome.

Bring warm clothes, water, good walking shoes, binoculars and a snack. The event will end at noon, but visitors are encouraged to continue their birding adventures throughout the day.

The second event will be held at 7 p.m. at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center with a special showing of the award-winning film, “Hooked on Hummingbirds. ”

Bike Estes June 26 Estes Parks own unique day to celebrate cycling of all kinds is coming up on June 26. “Bike Estes Day” is a one day cycling celebration that coincides with Colorado’s “Bike to Work” day and combines that with the “Costume Bike Parade” and the “Performance Park Bike Party.”

The day begins at 6 a.m. at the Estes Park Visitors Center where Bike to Work festivities are held. There will be free coffee and breakfast items as well as a bike maintenance stand and kids strider bike course provided by the Mountain Shop.

Bike to work goes until 9 a.m.

At 5:30 p.m., decorating festivities begin for the “Costume Bike Parade” at the Visitors Center. There will be bike decorating materials available, but don’t forget the costumes! Prizes will be given out for great costumes. The parade will start at 6 p.m.

The parade will end at the Performance Park Bike Party. Live music, food trucks and beer and non-alcoholic drink vendors will be waiting for the parade participants. There will be games for the kids and time to mingle with friends and family.

Learn about the world’s hummingbirds and their truly miraculous journeys in this breathtaking film. The film is one hour and admission is free. Park staff will be giving away World Migratory Bird Day posters during the event, while supplies last.

To enjoy more of the wonderful bird life Rocky Mountain National Park has to offer, we invite you to explore the recently-created park Sound Library. This extensive catalog contains over 210 recordings of more than 60 bird species, soundscapes, and wildlife including elk, coyotes, western chorus frogs and even a pine squirrel. All the recordings were collected in the park by Dr. Jacob Job, a researcher with Colorado State University and the NPS Natural Sounds & Night Skies Division. The park is excited to allow visitors to virtually experience the sounds of the park through the sound library and to have a historical record of the soundscapes so that changes can be monitored over time.

Pictures and additional information also allow visitors to learn more about the park’s extensive wildlife. To explore the Rocky Mountain National Park Sound Library go to: https://www.nps.gov/romo/learn/photosmultimedia/soundlibrary.htm.

History Class Sponsored By The Rocky Mountain Conservancy

The Rocky Mountain Conservancy is proud to welcome back Mary Taylor Young, a long-time Field Institute instructor and best-selling Colorado author, for a two-day class on Phantoms: The Primordial, Prehistoric, and Hidden History of RMNP from June 22nd - June 23rd. The class will meet at the RMC Field Institute building (1895 Fall River Road) and will spend both days uncovering many hidden aspects of Rocky Mountain National Park history. From ancient rock formations to early historical sites, such as Phantom Valley Ranch along the Colorado River, this course will walk participants through Rocky’s rich centennial history and will also bring participants up to present day with a trip through an elk enclosure and a discussion of current wildlife management techniques. Participants should

prepare for short-distance walks (up to ½ mile) on potentially uneven, brushy, rocky or steep surfaces and should bring a sack lunch for each day of the class.

Mary Taylor Young brings over 30 years of experience exploring, teaching, and writing about the wildlife and cultures of the American West. Growing up, Mary spent many summers in her grandparents’ cabin on Upper High Drive in Estes Park, which inspired her life-long love of the nature and history—specifically within Rocky Mountain National Park. Mary graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in zoology and was the chosen speaker for the 2016 CSU College of Natural Sciences commencement ceremony. She has also authored 17 books, as well as hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles, including her “Words on Birds” column published by the Rocky Mountain News for 16 years.

To read more about the full course description for this class or to register for others, give the RMC Field Institute a call at (970) 586-3262 or visit our website at https://rmconservancy.org/.

Inspired Artisan Market And Studio Opens In The Old Church Shops 'Inspired' started out as an art making booth at the Monday Markets at Riverside Plaza last year, but it now has a permanent home in Estes Park! Located in the Old Church Shops, just up from Ravens Roast Coffee, Inspired Artisan Market & Studio was created as a place where were we can expand our love of teaching art and sharing the talents of other Colorado artists here in the beautiful Rocky Mountains!

Natalie Patrick, a full-time resident of Estes Park for three years; Lily Patrick, an early childhood special education major at CMU; and their mother, Lora Patrick, an Art Teacher for Thompson School District for 28 years; make up the mother/daughter team behind the art creation business. Making art is an exciting adventure for the Inspired Team and has always been an important part of their lives. You never know how each piece will turn out, but you know that it will be as unique as it’s creator. However, they understand that, for some people, art making may feel like it requires the same level of courage as zip lining, river rafting, or skydiving. There is vulnerability in art creation, due to its deeply personal nature. That is why so much time and care is put into the planning and design of each Inspired ‘Art Experience.’

The team has drawn on their skills and experience to design projects that every level of artist can be successful at. They will masterfully guide you through each step of the process. The art experiences are designed to give all levels of art makers, from the budding artist to the more practiced creatives, pride in what they make while also allowing freedom to utilize their creative license. They hope to 'Inspire' their brave artists to create unique and cherished art work, while they lead them on the wonderful adventure of art creation.

Inspired is split into two parts; the Studio & the Artisan Market. The Inspired Artisan Market is set-up to showcase artists across Colorado and to help them to earn the profits they deserve for their work. Inspired is able to do this by offering artists the chance to rent a booth space from the store for a small monthly fee that just covers the expenses of the store, and then the artists take home 90% of the money made in the store. When

you shop here, you are supporting not only local business, but Colorado artists.

The artists who sell their work in the market come from all over the state and specialize in everything from wildlife photography to wood burning, offering an impressive assortment of unique pieces, perfect for gifts or momentos of Colorado.

According to those at “Inspired,” “Starting this Friday, June 7th we will start offering Art Experiences. We will offer a

our website, over the phone, or in person at our store in the Old Church Shops, along Elkhorn Avenue. Stop by and get 'Inspired'!”

“Inspired is very grateful and excited to be part of the Monday Artisan Markets for their second season. For this year’s Artisan Market, we will be offering the chance to create personalized tie-dyed tshirts. You can wear your own work of art! We offer several different tie-dye techniques, from the traditional swirl to

range of exciting classes, such as Alcohol Ink Landscapes, Block Printing Postcards, Metal Etching, and of course TieDye! We will be offering Make-&-Take Classes, which are classes that only take about 20-30 minutes to complete. They are great for families and there is no need for a reservation; they are great for practically every age level, so just come on by! In the evenings, we will have two hour long classes that take a deeper dive into different types of art techniques and media. Our Studio can hold up to 16 participants for these classes, and everyone goes home with at least one finished piece, matted and ready to be framed!

Do to the slightly more intensive nature of these classes, we suggest participants to be at least 10 years old to participate.

We look forward to offering additional classes in the future with different types of media. We will also be offering special events hosted by artists in the Inspired Studio later this summer and fall.

If you would like to participate in any of the classes, you can reserve your spot on

the Colorado Flag pattern. But the great thing about tie-dye is that no matter how you decide to twist the shirt or apply the dye, the outcome will always be unique, every time.”

If you are an artist interested in showcasing your work with them or are interested in offering classes in the Studio, please email Natalie Patrick at inspiredartexperinces@gmail.com or give them a call or text at (970) 685-8818.

Inspired Artisan Market and Studio is located at 157 W. Elkhorn Avenue, Unit 8.

ONE MISTAKE DOES NOT A LOSER MAKE Bill Buckner passed away a week ago. Buckner was a pro baseball player. He played for five teams through 1969-1990. He began his career playing for the LA Dodgers, back when I was a Dodgers fan. Later he played for the Cubs, the Boston Red Sox, the LA Angels, and Kansas City Royals, and the Red Sox for the second time. During those years he helped teams win pennants, won a batting title, was named to the All-star game and set several records for his batting and excellent fielding. His career batting average was .289, with 2,716 hits, 174 home runs, with 1,208 RBIs. Off the field his greatness was seen when making a diving catch of a small baby thrown out the window of a burning building. But, Bill Buckner made a mistake! During the 1986 season, by playing every game at first base, despite being bothered by some leg problems, he helped the Red Sox to the World Series. During the sixth game of the Series with the New York Mets, he made an error in the tenth inning that allowed the Mets to tie the Series. The Mets won the seventh game and fans and the media blamed the Series loss entirely on Buckner and heaped years of public mockery and fan anger upon him. Despite his many records, hits, and fielding ‘gems’, people couldn’t forget his one failure. Up to the day that he died he was remembered more for that one mistake than any successes.

We’ve seen it on many occasions, haven’t we? A child makes an embarrassing mistake at school and bullies and other students refuse to ‘let it go’. It’s not unusual to hear of a youth who takes his / her own life because of ‘that one mistake’. And you can find people of all ages who have done the same, suffering a lifetime of shame and guilt or ending that life early. It could have easily happened to a student at a Christian college who was engaged in some playful activity in dorm hall one afternoon. He and another student were tossing a pop bottle back-and-forth past several doors.

Sadly, a student looked out his door just as the bottle was sailing by and was hit directly in the temple. He died despite all efforts to save him. The boy who threw the bottle was distraught and inconsolable for weeks, until the parents of the boy who died asked the boy if he would let them be his parents…because he had none, being an orphan, and they now had no son to visit and be with since the loss of theirs. They assured him that they knew that the incident had been an accident and they had totally forgiven him, and they now wanted him to forgive himself…and continue with his life, as their son. He did.

Forgiveness! How important that is, and how important that both the offender and the offended rush to see that the ‘one mistake’ must not be allowed to ruin a life. Our lives consist of much more than one failure and we need to forgive ourselves and help others to do the same and move on.

The Bible tells stories of great men and women who ‘blew it’ on some occasion and how they were impacted by their failure. Paul ‘held garments’ of those who stoned Stephen, thus being an accomplice. Peter denied his Lord. But both knew they were forgiven and moved on to serve God in great ways.

Fortunately, Bill Buckner did not allow his ‘one mistake’ and the ridiculing he endured over the years that followed, to ruin his life. Despite the media haranguing him about his mistake Buckner never ran from his error, even finding ways to laugh about it and get others to do the same.

After his baseball playing days he coached minor league teams to be winners like he was. In 2008 He threw out the first pitch in the Red Sox season opener and received a two-minute standing ovation. Let’s be a Buckner! (Bob)

Estes Park Patriots for Peace June Meeting Notice

Photo by EP News

The Estes Park Patriots for Peace is a transpartisan, inclusive organization dedicated to “building a culture of peace” at all levels of society. We have recently had the honor of presenting our Peacemaker Scholarship to Chloe Burke and Megan Miller. These two recent graduates exemplify our ideal of “waging peace” through the pursuit of social and economic justice via community activism.

We are also pleased to note the good music and camaraderie participants experienced in our second annual Sweet Peace Jam on 18 May. Music, dancing, singing, and fine food were the order of the day as we used the event to raise scholarship funds for next year. We owe

a special thanks to the teachers from the Dances of Universal Peace who led us through several songs/dances from various cultures and traditions.

Our June meeting this year will be on Saturday the 8th at the Community Church of the Rockies, where we encourage members and friends to support the Spring Recycling Event by participating through recycling, helping neighbors recycle, or even by helping with the set-up at 6:30 a.m. in the church parking lot. This excellent town wide event provides a number of opportunities to wage peace on the environment by proper disposal of paints, electronics, and documents in need of shredding. More details are available elsewhere in this newspaper.

Ranked Choice Voting-Dems Hosting Speaker In Estes Park June 12 The Estes Valley Democrats are hosting a discussion of “Ranked Choice Voting” on Wednesday, June 12, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. at the Library’s Hondius Room. This meeting is open to the public and features guest speaker, Linda Templin, Executive Director of RCV for Colorado.

Ranked Choice Voting (“RCV”) is used in many other countries and in some places in the U. S. With RCV, we vote only one time, but we rank candidates in order of our preference – first, second, third, etc.

Although voting is still done only once, vote counting can occur multiple times until there is a majority winner. For instance, in Round #1, all of the voter’s first choices are counted. If one candidate has more than half the vote, that candidate wins and the election is decided. However, if no one candidate has a majority of the vote, another round of vote counting occurs by eliminating the candidate who had the fewest votes in Round #1. The eliminated candidate’s votes are reallocated to those voters’ second choices, and these new voter totals result in Round #2. This elimination and reallocation continues until a candidate receives more than half the votes. The results of each stage of vote counting are public, so early leads are known.

A real world example happened in November 2018 in Maine which adopted RCV in 2016 to elect its U. S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, Governor, and State Legislators. In Maine’s 2018 race for a U. S. Representative’s seat, there were multiple candidates – including a

Republican (Poliquin), a Democrat (Golden), and several other parties. After the first vote counting, Poliquin had 46.1% of the vote, Golden had 45.9%, and other parties accounted for 8% in total. After sequential rounds of counting ranked votes eliminated and reallocated the lower candidates, the final result was Golden winning with 50.53% compared to Poliquin’s 49.47%. The result: everyone’s votes were counted, and one candidate was elected by a majority of the vote.

Besides Maine, RCV is practiced in more than a dozen U. S. cities, including Telluride, CO, and Santa Fe, NM. Advocates claim that RCV invigorates civic participation, improves fairness of representation, and results in campaigns that are more civil and issue-oriented.

Linda’s presentation will demonstrate exactly how RCV works, as well as including insights into the opinions of voters who have experienced RCV, and discussing future ideas for RCV in Colorado. Linda holds an MPA from the University of Southern California, a Bachelors from the University of North Texas, and has over 19 years of nonprofit program management experience. She has worked with elections administrators and other experts on the issue of election reform since 2016 and serves on the Centennial Election Commission.

Please join us for this interesting presentation. For more information, you may email Vicky Henry, Democratic PCP Coordinator, at DemsVHenry@yahoo.com.

The Baldpate Inn Presents Its 2019 Summer Enchanted Evenings On Wednesday, June 12, 2019, at 7 p.m., The Baldpate Inn is pleased to welcome Bruce Davies as the first in their series of speakers for their Summer Enchanted Evenings.

Bruce will be speaking about the History of Lodges in Rocky Mountain National Park and the Estes Valley.

Bruce Davies of Tour Estes Park is a native of Colorado and grew up along the front range in the countryside near Berthoud. He studied performing arts, business, and economics at Grand Canyon College in Phoenix, AZ. In 2009 Bruce moved to Estes Park and after almost thirty years as a commission salesperson decided to take a different direction and assumed a position at The Historic Stanley Hotel as a concierge for The Lodge next door to the main portion of the hotel. Part of his duties would be to inform guests about things to do in the area and the wonderful history of the hotel and Rocky Mountain National Park.

It was at this time that he really fell in love with the history of the people and the area and became involved with the Estes Park Museum conducting historic downtown walking tours and going on to serve two years on the board of directors of the Museum Friends. After the

tourist season ended in 2014 Bruce decided to create his own personal guided tour service and has introduced hundreds of people from all over the United States and the world to this amazing place called Estes and Rocky Mountain National Park. Tour Estes Park has recently received the Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor and has a 5 Star rating for customer satisfaction.

The Summer Enchanted Evenings at the Baldpate Inn, on Highway 7, are held every Wednesday throughout the summer beginning at 7 p.m. There is no charge, and refreshments are provided in the Key Room. The Baldpate Inn would love for you to be able to join them for the talk. If you would like to enjoy a soup and salad buffet for dinner before the presentation, you can call and make reservations at 970-586-KEYS (5397) or call for any other questions about the presentation.

Meeting June 13th The Estes Park Genealogical Society will provide a free educational program on Thursday, June 13 at 5:00 p.m. in the Hondius Room of the Estes Valley Library. Boulder County genealogist, author and editor, Dina Carson will present “A Dark and Stormy Genealogy No Longer: Becoming a Good Storyteller.” If you have stories to share with your family, plan to attend this writer’s workshop for genealogists, as Dina discusses guidelines and tips for writing the stories of your ancestors.

Dina Carson has been involved in genealogy for more than two decades, and is currently the coordinator of the Boulder Pioneers Project, a comprehensive look at the original source documents for Boulder County during the Territorial period (1859-1876). She is the author of more than thirty annotated indexes of Boulder County source materials. She has been the editor of the Boulder Genealogical Society Quarterly (BGSQ) for the past 10 years. The BGSQ has finished its 50th year of publishing in 2018. She lectures frequently to genealogical societies throughout the state and is working with the Colorado State Archives on statewide indexing projects. Although her for-

mal education is in International Law and Economics, she owns Iron Gate Publishing, a publishing company. Dina is the author of 10 books about publishing and genealogy including, Set Yourself Up to Self-Publish: A Genealogist's Guide and Publish Your Family History: A Step-byStep Guide to Writing the Stories of Your Ancestors. In early 2018, Dina was the coordinator and primary instructor for the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy's course, Writing and Publishing Family Histories in the Digital Age. Dina brings her experience with all phases of book publishing to help first-time self-publishers create quality family or local histories that are both believable and achievable. When she's not at a computer working on a publishing project, you can find her photographing the pioneer cemeteries of Colorado.

The Society meets the second Thursday of every month from January through November in the library, offering a wide variety of programs and workshops. Upcoming meeting topics include Civil War Soldier research in July, and Irish History and Genealogical research in August.

Anyone interested in genealogy and family history research is welcome to attend the meetings.

Thinking Beyond Recycling By: Judi Smith

There is renewed interest in minimizing additions to the landfill, and more profitable circumstances (now that China is not underbidding the domestic market). More and more U. S. companies are taking a serious look at what they can do to improve our waste system in this country – not only in recycling, but in recapturing available materials for reuse and in reducing the generation of waste in the first place, particularly packaging. Alternatives are beginning to appear and major U. S. manufacturers are beginning to take notice of the potential.

Before we can reduce the proliferation of plastic packaging, we must identify it.

To this end, in an effort to identify some of the more prevalent forms of plastic contributing to the cluttering of our landscape and the pollution of our oceans, nearly 10,000 volunteers participated in the “Break Free from Plastic” inventory last year. There were 239 cleanup events, collecting 256,429 items strewn on beaches, streets, and parks in 42 countries on six continents.

Almost everything in our lives incorporates some form of plastic, even clothing. But just over 1/4 of the debris collected was primarily non-plastic, largely cigarette butts, diapers, and sanitary napkins along with textiles. (Redirecting textiles takes special handling. Reusable cloth can go to the Thrift Shops. Non reusable? Watch for USAgain boxes that are appearing across the Estes Valley.)

The remaining 187,851 pieces comprise the usual plastics found in the average home and form a good microcosm of what plastics are in single use-somewhere...every day.

Assuming it is shaped like bottles, jars, jugs, or tubs, about 40% of this worldwide plastic collection would be publicly recyclable in Estes Park: 24% #1 PET, 9% HDPE (#2) and 7% Polypropylene (#5).

The majority of the remainder is the 46,764 samples of polystyrene (#6), most likely Styrofoam cups, plates, take-out boxes, and coolers, plus styrene utensils

(non recyclable pretty much everywhere) and the 36,857 examples of “single layer plastic film,” mostly plastic bags. (Country Market also recycles grocery and gift bags or take all such flimsy plastic to Safeway.) Another 12% was multilayer bonded items which combine different materials. The new ReWall plant in Colorado should improve our options for recycling Tetrapaks (metal lined, plastic coated paperboard boxes used for soup.)

Only 18% of the plastic was assignable by brand to the 35 manufacturers designated. Not surprisingly, 14% of that collection came from products produced by three corporations: Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Nestle. However, it is interesting that, while Coca-Cola products were collected in 40 of the 42 countries, 60 cleanups did not find Coca-Cola products in their collection. Different countries had significantly different composition of plastic waste. In Mexico, 44% of the collection was Coca-Cola branded and an additional 29% was Pepsi, a total of 73%. Here in the U. S.A., these two companies together provided only 31% whereas Nestle alone was the most prolific at 1057 pieces of trash (23%) left by the wayside.

Of course, the new Terracycle endeavor to provide circular (returnable) packaging is a step in the right direction, but it has not yet expanded to Colorado. The latest development is the inclusion of Kroger as the first U. S. retailer. This may (or may not) mean these products in returnable containers will (soon?) be available on King Soopers shelves. While individuals held primary responsibility for improper disposal (left on beaches, park trails, and streets), reusable, returnable, refundable packaging will go a long way toward the recovery.

The next meeting of the League of Women Voters and Community Recycling Committee will be 10 a.m., July 3 in the Estes Valley Library, Wasson Room.

Oratorio Goes Pops The Oratorio Society of Estes Park, under the direction of Robert Charles Howard, will perform a summer concert Friday, August 2nd at 7 p.m. and Saturday, August 3rd at 3 p.m. We will perform music from Broadway and the big Screen as well as some patriotic selections. Chorus rehearsals begin Monday night, June 17 at 5:45 and orchestra at 7:30 at the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies. Singers and string players are especially welcome.

Join us for a concert that is sure to be enjoyed by participants and audience members alike.

Spud And Lotus Are Looking For New, Forever Homes!

Spud is a love sponge. He is a short hair male kitty, about 12 years old. He is very friendly and affectionate. He seems to do well with other cats.

Spud

organization that works to find homes for stray and abandoned pets, control dog and cat populations by funding sterilization programs, educate members of the community, especially young people, about the humane treatment of animals and the responsibilities of pet ownership; and promote community involvement in the use of pets as therapeutic agents (e.g., in nursing homes).

“The Language of Weaving” Exhibition Features Three Colorado Weavers The Art Center is pleased to present “The Language of Weaving” show which features Estes Park fiber artist Chris Switzer, basketry artist Linda Lugenbill of Colorado Springs, and weaver and tapestry artist David Johnson of Thornton, Colorado. This show is sponsored

by Pauline Bustamante and will run concurrently with the FACE of Fiber in the Rockies 2019” show. The celebratory opening reception for both shows is Friday, June 7 from 5:00-8:00 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

Chris Switzer will be speaking and demonstrating at the Art Center during the July 5 First Friday celebration from 5:00-8:00 p.m. For another educational opportunity, please plan to join us at the Art Center Saturday, July 13 at 7:00 p.m. for “The Evolution of a Tapestry Artist,” a presentation by David Johnson. This presentation is sponsored by the Estes

Park Area Weavers Guild, and is free and open to the public.

Chris Switzer is a weaver and works with her hands. She is interested in color, texture and pattern. Her inspiration comes from nature. Having raised alpacas for 40 years, she uses alpaca

yarns on her loom (warp), then other yarns on the shuttle, going across (weft).

Sometimes she uses handspun yarn for the weft.

Chris prefers natural fibers – silk, mohair, sheep’s wool, plus various blends.

The special brown and beige mill spun yarns are paco-vicuna from our fleeces.

(See the back cover of her book) the loom was set up with a 4 harness PATTERN. Chris’ handwoven scarves are one-of-a-kind. Alpaca yarns are soft and warm, so they work well for scarves. She also likes to weave shawls and wall pieces. Handmade paper, with stitchery, is a technique Chris learned at CSU (1978-1984). Presented in frames, the work needs to be looked at up close. For Chris, it is an approach to more conceptual ideas.

David Johnson is the incoming president of the Rocky Mountain Weavers Guild and teaches extensively. Workshops this year include the Heart of the Rockies Weavers Guild and the Tucson Weavers Guild. Upcoming workshops include the Intermountain Weavers Conference in July and the Espanola Valley Fiber arts center in the fall. Recent exhibitions include the “Premier International Tapestry Exhibition” in

to pass on these traditions through teaching basketry at national conferences, for regional guilds, and for local art and fiber centers. Her related expertise includes writing and speaking about basketry topics, as well as conducting research and conservation on museum basket collections. Linda’s basketry forms have earned numerous awards and may be found in several museum and private collections. She is particularly honored to regularly exhibits her basketry and regularly reminds her that this all began with an afternoon basket class!

Documentary On Easter Island At Reel Mountain Theater Have you ever thought of what a lonely South Pacific island would have in common with Estes Park…in fact, with the entire world?

Easter Island...forty-five years ago their population was 2,000 with one flight a week and 20,000 visitors a year. Now, there are two/three flights a week and 120,000 visitors each year! Not only are tourists contributing trash but also stress on the environment and fragile ecosystem.

There will be a special documentary showing of “Eating Up Easter” seeking sustainability in the remove Pacific, Friday, June 15th at 8:00 p.m. at Reel Mountain Theater.

This documentary was produced and directed by Sergio M. Rapu, Easter Island native and grandson of local Estes Park residents, Wayne and Pat Newsom and nephew of Karen & Scott Thompson and Linda Tauber.

Director’s statement For the last 50 years, my island - my culture - has been used as a cautionary tale of human's ability to destroy our planet. Film cameras have pointed away from our thriving community and instead focused on our moai, stone statues representing our ancestors and a mysterious past. Journalists' pens wrote about the destruction of our island, the death of our people, the demise of a great civilization. But they got it wrong. We, the Rapanui, are still here. We were not able to tell our story then, but today we are.

The catalyst to start this project was when I came across a news article in 2011 explaining that Hawaii only had enough food reserves for 1 week. If the airport was destroyed, if a storm seized all naval traffic, food would become a huge issue to the more than 1 million residents and visitors. I turned the same question to my island, Rapa Nui (Easter Island). How long did we have before my people went hungry? I knew our demand for external products was high, but I didn't know how much. As I learned more about how little we grew (because building cabins for tourists was more lucrative) and how much we imported (which contributed heavily to the buildup of trash on the island), I realized that the story was not in food security but in the rapid development of a tiny island in the middle of the Pacific.

The misrepresentation of my culture has been the fuel behind my interest in telling stories. But as I dug deeper into the problems and complexities of living on a remote island, I found universal qualities reflected in the wealthiest continents on the planet. The truth is that we are all the same, living on our own little island in the vast universe. But our

story is not a cautionary tale, because we are still alive, we hold the power to correct our course in history as my ancestors did.

Days before picture locking the film, of what would be the end of a six-year process, I heard news from the island.

Mama Piru, one of our central characters, had passed away at the young age of 60.

Our hearts broke and our minds went blank.

What will we do without her driving energy to care for our planet?

Who will pick up where she left off?

Days of numbness finally brought the answer - we will, we must. This film is dedicated to her and to our ancestors who navigated through the rough seas and brought our people closer to the light beyond the horizon.

Hai Mahatu. Amu'a.

About the movie: This hour-long documentary, directed by native Rapanui filmmaker Sergio Mata'u Rapu, explores the dilemma his people are facing as the outside world closes in. Growing up, he lived in a community of 2000 people with no more than 20,000 visitors a year.

Flights to the island came once a week.

Now, at two to three flights per day, more than 120,000 tourists arrive each year. Not only are tourists contributing trash and stress to the limited infrastructure, but also, an influx of immigrants from the Chilean mainland filling service jobs has led to cultural clashes and additional stress on the fragile ecosystem. The native Rapanui, as the sole owners of land, are earning more than ever before through rental properties and hotels. They, too are caught up in materialism and are generating record amounts of waste. This giant snowball of globalization is eating up everything - culture, family, environment. But along with higher income, most Rapanui are educated outside the island. They are not standing idly by, but are taking active roles in guiding their development?)

In the spirit of Polynesian history told orally through the generations, the film's narration is crafted as a story to Sergio's newborn son. Sergio shares his sadness about not learning his native language after his family moved to the U.S., describes the island's complex relationship with Chile after its colonization, and guides us through the larger context of modern life on Rapa Nui. Intertwined, are the stories of four Rapanui, a local ecologist, two musicians, and a developer, each with their own vision of a sustainable future. These characters break stereotypes of a "native" islander to show us, in their own voices, the rich diversity of approaches Rapanui are taking as active agents in their devel-

opment.

Mama Piru, a local ecologist, leads recycling efforts to tackle the mounting waste problem while also battling the endless waves of international plastic trash that wash up on shore. A strong proponent of her culture, she lives a traditional life, off grid in the countryside.

Yet, she is married to a Frenchman and lived for years in Europe, loving that life.

Back on the island she works tirelessly to influence her community and to once again find a way to live without trash, as her ancestors did before. But even her fierce personality can't seem to motivate the community to take time from their busy lives to clean up the island.

Husband and wife team, Mahani, a concert pianist, and Enrique, a local musician and structural engineer, see capitalism driving their once tight-knit community apart. In response, they create a music school to preserve culture and language. They provide free classes hoping parents will pay back by volunteering, reviving the old practice of umanga -when the community would work together for the common good. They search outside the island for a sustainable way to construct the building and realize that the island's growing trash problem is the solution. Using a technique developed by American architect Michael Reynolds, they use glass bottles, cans, and old tires as building material for their new school. But without income the school still struggles to pay its teachers and buy instruments.

Sergio tries to understand the motivations of his own father, who welcomes the advantages of the West. Sergio Sr. is building a mini-mall, not for tourists, but to satisfy the demands of his people.

As a former governor and archaeologist he explains that culture does not stop in one point in time. "The island is constantly changing, nothing is static." Development is needed as the island grows and-the Rapanui, deserve the modern advantages enjoyed by the rest of the world - education, prosperity, health care. But Sergio Sr. doesn't believe this has to be at the expense of his culture.

"People think our culture is going away.

But it's just camouflaged, behind the tourists, and the cars, and the buildings.

The essence of our culture is still there."

The stories of these characters unfold in a complex web to reveal the realities behind this mystical island. As Sergio's mini-mall is inaugurated and Mama Piru hits the streets to coordinate a coastal cleanup, Mahani and Enrique give birth to a new generation who will inherit the actions we take today. In the end, the film reveals in microcosm the complexities of balancing growth and sustainability that we are facing all around the world.

Don’t miss your chance to see this powerful documentary. General admission price proceeds will go to a music school on Easter Island. Go to eatingupeaster.com for more information or to watch the trailer.

provides college scholarships for Estes Park seniors.

Slated for Saturday, June 29, the 23rd Annual Rotary Club of Estes Park Golf Tournament for Scholarships hopes to raise money for three academic scholarships, which will be awarded next May. “Golfers who register for this tournament love the game, but more importantly, believe in investing in the success of our high school seniors. Much will be asked of the next generation, and the Rotary Club of Estes Park wants to help these students to become tomorrow’s leaders,” said Golf Tournament Chairman Peter Sinnott.

The Rotary Golf Tournament partners with the Shred-A-Thon and the Rotary Foundation to raise $24,000 for three, four-year academic scholarships awarded annually to local graduates. On May 15, Annalise Basch, Fazeel Bhatti and Molly Morgan received the 2019 Rotary Academic Scholarships. In addition, the club awarded $10,630 in memorial scholarships to 8 members of the class of 2019.

“Paying for a college education can be a daunting task for parents and students, with costs rising faster than inflation for many years. Through our scholarships, our club eases the financial burden on our families,” Sinnott said.

To register for the tournament, download forms posted on the Estes Park Rotary Club website at www.rotaryclubofestespark.org. Registration and sponsorship forms are also available

Galapagos: Islands That Changed The World

The Twig: Smaller Than A Branch, Big On Convenience By: Peggy Moore, Patron Services Supervisor

“Our Wonderful World” continues its 13th season of armchair travel-adventures this Tuesday, June 11 with “Galapagos: Islands that Changed the World,” a presentation by worldtraveler Stan Havlick.

The free program takes place at 7 p.m. at this year’s new location: the lower level of the Estes Valley Community Center at 660 Community Drive. The series is co-sponsored by the Community Center and the Estes Valley Library.

Rugged and rocky, delicate and fragile, strange but beautiful: the Galapagos archipelago is one of the most unique places on our planet. Its climate and geology, along with its diverse fauna and flora, played important roles in human history.

In the spring of 2018, Stan Havlick and his wife Margaret pointed their compass toward the western coast of South America, with their first destination being Quito, the charming colonial capital of Ecuador. After a few days of urban exploration, Stan and Margaret teamed up with a small group of adventuresome travelers to follow the 1835 footsteps and discoveries of Charles Darwin. Their

mode of transportation was a small ship that allowed the group ample opportunities to hike, kayak, swim and snorkel on multiple islands, while photographing the many indigenous birds, reptiles, and sea life of the Galapagos.

Stan Havlick has lived and traveled on all seven continents, and he plans to devote a portion of Tuesday’s presentation to answering questions about the wonderful world of travel.

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

The library’s downtown facility is our anchor—and the best place to find all our services under one roof. But for quick check-out and return of materials, there’s another option. And it’s especially suited for these busy summer days.

The creation of the Twig grew out of many years of listening to our library patrons. You told us that downtown parking during the peak summer season can sometimes make it difficult to get to the library. If there were a quick-stop alternative, it would save you time in your busy day.

The construction of the Community Center offered a solution: a place to install a self-serve kiosk without the expense of purchasing or building a standalone Library facility.

Now in its second year of operation, the Twig is a mini-branch kiosk located in the lower level of the Estes Valley Community Center (EVCC). When searching for items in the Library catalog, you can easily choose to route materials to the Twig by selecting “EVCC The Twig” as pick-up location when placing holds.

What items may be sent to the Twig?

The very same materials we check out downtown, with the exception of electronics and large items like Discovery Kits.

If the items you’ve requested are on our

shelves, it usually takes just a day for us to deliver them to the Twig. You’ll get a email notice to let you know they’re there.

Then, stop by the Community Center during any of their open hours, and with your library card, it’s fast and easy to check out your items at the kiosk.

And you don’t need to have a Community Center membership to use or access the Twig.

Convenience doesn’t stop there. You can also return library materials to the drive-up book returns at EVCC, 24/7. It doesn’t matter whether you borrowed the materials from the Twig or from downtown.

The Twig has been building a loyal and happy following in its first year. Twig users tell us how much they appreciate how reliable it is to use.

And since the Twig is open the same hours as the Community Center, it greatly expands the hours each week that you can borrow Library materials.

While our downtown facility has convenient hours of its own (more hours, in fact, than the downtown Denver Library), the Twig expands access to an additional 28 hours each week—making it a great option for weekday morning early-birds and Friday-nighters alike.

Treat yourself to a visit to the Twig this summer and give this convenient library resource a try. While it’s smaller than a branch, it provides library materials both when and where you need them.

Workshop On Natural Health Care, Respiratory Allergies and Asthma Allergies are the sixth most common cause of chronic illness in the U. S. Approximately 15% of Americans suffer from allergic rhinitis (hay fever or chronic sinus drainage) and/or allergic asthma caused by environmental agents.

Dr. Sarasvati Buhrman, who as a child suffered from allergies and asthma, will share her expertise with a variety of natural Yogic and Ayurvedic interventions which can make a significant difference in the quality of allergy sufferers’ lives.

Participants will learn Yogic breathing exercises, easy daily Yogic nasal cleansing practices (neti), diet and herbs, and herbally-medicated nasal oils which can

markedly reduce allergy symptoms and allergic asthma problems. She will also describe Yogic and Ayurvedic seasonal cleansing routines which can reduce or eliminate symptoms entirely.

To register for this workshop, call Estes Valley Community Center at 970-5868191 no later than June 9. Time: Monday, June 10 from 5:30-8:00 p.m. Cost: $35.

Sarasvati Buhrman, Ph. D., is an Ayurvedic Medicine practitioner and Yoga Therapist who can be reached at 303-443-6923. She practices at the Dao House in Estes Park and her office in Boulder.

Thank You To The Volunteers And Local Businesses Who Made the 33rd Annual Fishing Derby A Great Success Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVRPD) would like to send out a warm thank you to the volunteers and local businesses who helped make the 33rd Annual Lake Estes Fishing Derby a great success.

On Saturday, June 1, more than 200 people brought their fishing poles to the shores and waters of Lake Estes to try their hand at catching the largest fish.

Participants ranged in age from just a few years old to more than 60 years and came from as far away as Denver, Ogden, Utah, and McHenry, Ill. In the end, Madeline Ramsey of Fort Collins, Colo., came out on top with a 1 pound, four-ounce trout that measured 14 inches in length.

“We always eagerly anticipate fishing derby day, ” said Annie Hanson, Lake Estes Marina Manager and coordinator of the event since its inception. “It is a great community event that is fun for everyone—from the youngest child fishing for the first time to the repeat participants to our staff who enjoy sharing their fishing knowledge.”

Thank you very much to the local businesses who donated the prizes. This event could not have happened without their support: - The Haber Motel - Quality Inn Estes Park - Rock Cut Brewing - Domino’s Pizza - Boss Burgers and Gyros - Ed’s Cantina - Lake Estes 9-Hole Golf Course - Estes Park 18-Hole Golf Course - Estes Park Brewery - The Stanley Hotel - Fun City - Patterson Glass Works Studio and Gallery - Smokin’ Dave’s BBQ and Brew - Estes Park Mountain Shop - Mountain Blown Glass - Fresh Burger Stop - The Ore Cart Rock Shop - Poppy’s Pizza and Grill - Mama Rose’s Italian Dining - Rapid Transit Rafting - Estes Park Ride-A-Kart - Estes Valley Community Center - Estes Park Campground at Mary’s Lake - Estes Park Campground at East Portal - Chipper’s Estes Park Lanes - Dunraven Inn - Lumpy Ridge Brewing Co. - The Rock Inn Mountain Tavern - Eagle Claw Fishing Tackle Next year’s fishing derby will be held June 6, 2020.

Prizes To Please Pro And Duffer Alike In Rotary Golf Tourney

By: Rita DuChateau

Is it the love of the game or the great prizes that’s attracting golfers to this year’s Rotary Club of Estes Park Golf Tournament for Scholarships?

For most who have signed up for the Saturday morning, June 29 event, it’s both. The range of prizes for the 2019 tournament will make Beach Shots (sand traps) or Barkies (hitting a tree) as rewarding as an A Game.

Golfers will vie for prizes in contests for most accurate drive, closest to the pin and longest putt. Separate prizes are offered for men and women in the most accurate drive and longest putt competition. Each member of the winning team (low net score based on Peoria Handicapping) will receive a prize, as will the team members with the lowest gross score.

Prizes will also be awarded to the four winners of the Closest to the Pin competition on Par 3 holes. All participants will receive a Rotary souvenir. While golfers relax in The Hangar Restaurant in the clubhouse after playing 18 holes, the tournament committee will announce major prize winners and conduct drawings for merchant-donated prizes. Those prizes are being solicited now. Businesses that would like to donate a prize are welcomed and should contact Pete Sinnott at 970-577-7766.

The tournament includes a complimentary Smokin’ Dave’s BBQ lunch buffet for registered golfers. Registration forms are available at the 18-hole course pro shop and also at www.rotaryclubofestespark.org under the Golf tab. The $100 fee includes green

fees, cart, participation gift and lunch.

Players with an annual 7-day membership at the Estes Park Golf Course have a reduced registration fee of $65. The tournament tees off at 8 a.m. with a shotgun start. Check-in begins at 7 a.m.

The 23rd Annual Rotary Scholarship Benefit Golf Tournament partners with the Shred-A-Thon and the Rotary Foundation to raise $24,000 for three, four-year academic scholarships awarded annually to local graduates.

“Every golfer and sponsor counts in reaching our goal,” said Pete Sinnott, chairman of the tournament committee.

Several levels of tournament sponsorships also are available. For information on how to sign on as a sponsor, please call Jay Harroff (970-227-3856) or Ron Gordon (970-586-0370) or download forms at the Estes Park Rotary Club website, under the Golf Tournament tab.

Katherine (Kathy) Kilgore Levine passed away on Sunday, June 2, 2019 at the Estes Park Health Living Center in Estes Park, Colorado. She was 67 years old.

Kathy was an only child born in Dallas, Texas in 1951 to James and Katherine (Blalock) Kilgore. Kathy was raised and lived in the Dallas area and graduated from The Hockaday School in 1970. Kathy attended The University of Colorado in Boulder starting in fall 1970.

She married her husband, Charles “Chuck” Levine in 1974 in Dallas, Texas. Chuck and Kathy moved to Virginia and began their life as parents.

They relocated to Dallas in 1983. The family lived in the Dallas and Austin areas until 2001 when they retired and moved to Estes Park, Colorado.

Kathy was a wonderful woman of many talents. She was a wife, a mother, a homemaker, a teacher, a librarian and a radio programmer. Kathy was a member of the United Methodist Church of Estes Park, the Lions Club, PEO and the Quota Club. She also gave her time as a volunteer for the Rocky Mountain National Park. Kathy loved to knit and watch the weather. She had great interest in computers and liked to watch movies. Above all, Kathy loved her family and she loved being a mother to her two sons. She was loved and she will be missed.

Kathy is survived by her husband, Chuck Levine of Estes Park, CO and her sons, Matthew of Austin, TX and Christopher of Carmel, NY. She was preceded in death by her parents James A. and Katherine B. Kilgore.

Choosing a Funeral Home or Cemetery Bill Smith, General Manager,

Allnutt Funeral Service - Estes Park Chapel

Q: I’m considering my funeral and cemetery options. How do I find a provider I can trust?

A: Making funeral, cremation

and cemetery arrangements isn’t something people do every day.

Taking time to research options and bene ts can be an important step in the planning process.

Your nal decision may be based on personal recommendations, location, pricing or other factors important to your family.

Q: What should I look for when choosing a funeral home or cemetery?

A: Whether you are in need

of immediate assistance or interested in learning more about pre-planning options, look for these basic characteristics: • Quali ed and caring professionals who will take the time to listen, address your concerns and work within your budget.

• A funeral home or cemetery with a good reputation within your local community and with grounds, roads and buildings that are in good physical condition.

• A full-service provider that can provide a range of funeral and cemetery options. Look for a provider that will help you plan every detail of a personal, memorable tribute.

If you have additional questions, visit your local licensed funeral provider. They are a good source of information for funeral, cremation and cemetery options.
