Man Drowns In Lake Estes Boating Incident On June 10, 2021, at approximately 4:27 p.m., the Estes Park Police Department received multiple reports of a man that fell into Lake Estes from a boat and could not be found by the three others in his party.

The Estes Valley Fire Protection District, Estes Park Police, Loveland Fire Rescue Authority, LCSO Emergency Services, and the Larimer County Dive Rescue Team responded. Resources from Colorado State Parks and Wildlife were also requested.

The investigation thus far has revealed that two adult males and two adult females left the Lake Estes Marina around 3:30 p.m. on June 10 on a rented pontoon boat. One of the adult males fell into the water less than an hour later in the general area of Fisherman’s Nook on the north side of the lake. The others on the boat tried to locate the man and then beached the boat to call for help. The boaters said the missing man was visiting from out of state. The other man and two women are from the Boulder area. Investigators are working to interview all witnesses to determine how/why the man fell into the water.

The search for the missing boater continued throughout the night of June 10 and into the early morning

hours of June 11. Shore-based and dive operations were ceased at dark and boats with sonar were used until about 2:00 a.m. Additional resources were activated with what was then deemed a re-

covery mission.

On 6/12/2021 at 11:26 a.m., Colorado Parks and Wildlife successfully located the body of a deceased adult male submerged in the water at Lake Estes. Efforts continued to recover the body

throughout the rest of the morning and at 2:56 p.m. the deceased male was recovered from the lake. The Larimer County Coroner’s Office took custody of the deceased male and will be conducting an autopsy to determine the identity, cause, and manner of death. The Coroner will release this information at the conclusion of their investigation.

Special thanks go to the following organizations for contributing their time and effort in the search for the missing boater: Estes Park Health Ambulance Service Estes Park Police Department Colorado Parks and Wildlife Rocky Mountain National Park Service Estes Valley Recreation and Park District Larimer County Sheriff ’s Office Patrol Deputies Larimer County Sheriff ’s Office Investigations Unit Larimer County Sheriff ’s Office Emergency Services Bureau of Reclamation The above agencies and all individuals involved contributed countless hours to the location and recovery of the missing boater.

Lake Estes resumed normal operating hours started again on 6/13/2021.

Vaccinate Pets To Protect Them From Rabies The Larimer County Department of Health and Environment (LCDHE) has confirmed that a bat in Larimer County has tested positive for rabies. This is the first rabid bat found in Larimer County this year. A dog had contact with the rabid bat but was up to date on rabies vaccinations.

LCDHE reminds pet and livestock owners to keep their animals up-to-date on rabies vaccinations to prevent lengthy and costly quarantines—or even euthanasia—if they have an encounter with a rabid ani-

mal. Livestock owners should check with their veterinarians about rabies vaccinations for their horses, cattle, and other livestock.

Rabies is spread primarily by saliva through the bite of a rabid animal. Once symptoms of rabies infection appear, there is no cure and the infection is fatal. People that have been exposed to rabies can receive medication treatment to prevent illness. In Larimer County, positive rabies is most normally found in skunks and bats but does occasionally cross into other species.

“Vaccinations keep pets, horses and livestock from getting rabies and help protect residents if they come in contact with a rabid animal, ” says Tom Gonzales, Public Health Director for Larimer County Department of Health and Environment. “It is important to report animal bites to local animal control and the Health Department. ” Ways to protect you and your family: • Do not feed or touch wildlife.

• Teach children to observe wildlife from a

distance and to notify an adult if there is a wild animal in the area or if they are bitten or scratched.

• Eliminate food sources for wild animals by not feeding pets outdoors, closing pet doors especially at night, and tightly closing garbage cans and feed bins.

• Ensure that your pets, horses and livestock are up-to-date on their rabies vaccinations.

Cold Hardy Cacti Now Blooming In Mrs. Walsh’s Garden By: Merle Moore, Mrs. Walsh’s Garden Advisory Committee

Over the next few weeks Mrs. Walsh’s Native Plant Garden, located at the west end of Elkhorn Avenue, will be featuring a collection of our native cacti in full bloom. We are fortunate to have serving on Mrs. Walsh’s Garden Advisory Committee not only knowledgeable members of the Town’s Parks Division but also members of the community, each of whom contributes their personal interests and experiences with native plants to the advisory committee’s monthly planning discussions.

One committee member, Jim Conley, happens to have a particular interest in cold hardy cactus, including our native cacti that are very adaptable to growing in local landscapes and gardens. During the growing season Jim wears two hats being a seasonal, part-time employee of the Parks Division responsible for garden maintenance as well as serving on Mrs. Walsh’s Garden Advisory Committee. Over the next few weeks, you may

be fortunate to catch Jim working in the garden on Wednesday, June 16th or Thursday, June 17th from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., or on Tuesday, June 22nd from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. If you visit the garden during those days and times it may be an opportunity to ask questions of a local gardener with personal experience and success growing our native, coldhardy cacti and you will also see many cacti blooming in Mrs. Walsh’s Garden.

The garden is open dawn to dusk and entrance to the garden is always free.

There is a shuttle stop right outside the gate. Just inside you will find a bulletin board with photos and descriptive information about the cacti and other plants that are in bloom now. This information is updated every few weeks as new plants come into bloom or other interesting information about the plant collection is posted.

Please come and enjoy Mrs. Walsh’s Native Plant Garden at its most colorful season of the year.

I’ve been babysitting a lot lately, but it’s not what you think. There have been no diapers to change, no Gerber food to put on a spoon and aim like a miniature airplane into a toothless mouth, and no lullabies. There has been wailing and tears, but those are from me. You see, I’m not babysitting by choice. This new lifestyle of perpetually tending to the needs of another has been born out of necessity. I’ve had to resort to nurturing my cellphone as if she were a newborn.

My phone is no infant. She’s an old iPhone—a first generation SE—which I prefer because she's small. For years after I acquired her, right before I went to bed each night I plugged her into her charger and left her to reload overnight. In the morning she was well-rested, kicking and giggling and rarin’ to go at 100 percent battery capacity, which got us both through the day.

Lately my phone has gotten fussy. I’ll blame it on COVID, but in the last few months she has reached the terrible twos. She still wakes early with 100 percent bouncy energy but her battery runs down quickly. She needs a nap in the middle of the day—a battery recharge— which is quite inconvenient, I must say.

When I tell people about this finicky phone of mine, I get all sorts of suggestions about how to deal with her so that I don’t run her down. Don’t charge her overnight. Don’t charge her to 100 percent. Don’t let the battery drain to below 20 percent. Let the battery drop to as close to zero percent as possible. Don’t use her while she’s charging. Don’t use an off-brand charger. Turn off this app, change that setting, burp her after each charge.

She may be tired but I’m exhausted, trying to keep up.

I’m constantly checking her battery health. How much juice does she have left? Do I need to put her down for a nap so she can recharge? I’ve read that her happy time is between 80 and 20 percent so I have to check her as she charges so she doesn’t go over 80 percent, and then monitor her so she doesn’t drop below 20. She requires constant attention and never seems completely happy. She’s so needy!

To fix the problem I stopped plugging her into the charger when I went to bed so when I’d wake up, she’d only be at 50 percent. This was supposed to be good for the sweet darling o’ mine. Yesterday I

was at a coffee shop, trying to make a doctor appointment for my mom when, without warning, the poor little thing dropped dead. She was fast asleep and I had no way to wake her.

Needless to say, the call got cut off. I didn’t have a charger with me, I wasn’t at home, and suddenly I was without a phone so I couldn’t call the doctor’s office back, nor could they call me. I felt like I had a toddler with a loaded diaper and no spare to change her into. There was nothing to do but get us both home as soon as possible.

I’ve reached the end of my…charger. I can’t go on like this, trying to stay between the 20 and 80 percent happy range. I’d rather have a fully charged battery first thing in the morning and keep a supplemental battery back-up close by for times when the need arises (thank you, KD, for this thoughtful gift!). This does mean I have to carry a second battery with me, but it’s better than the inconvenience of a dead phone.

Some people tell me I should trade in my phone for a new one. But she’s my baby. She’s fully functional (when charged), has never had a cracked screen and is set up just the way I want her.

We’ve bonded. I’m not contributing to the cellphone landfill until I absolutely have to.

Other people suggest getting a new battery. “Been there, done that,” I say to them like an old lady who uses worn-out clichés. I’m on battery number two and will continue to use battery number two.

That’s all there is to it. Call me stubborn, but if you call me, do it in the morning when my battery is fully charged and I can answer.

P. S.: After reading last week’s column, an Estes Park Thunker reader contacted me to say he has two or three really old cast iron skillets—probably early twentieth century or older (they were his grandparents’) which he would be happy to donate to any lovers of these items. He thinks it would be nice to see them in use again. If you are interested, let me know and I’ll put the two of you in touch.

Wilderness Wisdom: Remembering Enos Mills In A Living History Performance For six years of his life, and against seemingly insurmountable odds, Enos Mills (1870-1922) led the campaign to create a national park in the northern mountains of Colorado. Those efforts fulfilled what he called his life’s “greatest dream” upon the establishment of Rocky Mountain National Park.

Years earlier, his 1884 arrival in Colorado at age 14 was the start of a reverence for mountains and nature. In 1889, a chance encounter with naturalist John Muir inspired him to wonder: could he do for the Rocky Mountains what Muir had done for Yosemite? The Enos Mills story evokes a time when grizzlies still roamed Colorado and when a national park was an elusive dream.

Local actor-storyteller Kurtis Kelly will remember the life and legacy of Enos Mills through a living-history performance this Monday, June 21 at 7 p.m. The program takes place at the Maude Jellison Library at the YMCA of the Rockies, as part of this summer’s program series for all ages.

The story recounts major episodes from Mills’ remarkable life—and a career that included being an innkeeper, a

naturalist, a prolific writer, a coast-tocoast lecturer, and innovator in the field of guided nature interpretation, including leading 257 parties to the summit of Longs Peak.

As a history re-enactor, Kelly has had the opportunity to bring the Enos Mills

story to audiences throughout the Front Range. In 2015, he performed as Mills for Rocky Mountain National Park’s centennial celebrations. He has appeared as historic characters for audiences of all ages, from grade schools to senior centers.

Monday’s event is open to the public, and no registration is required. The program will take place outdoors, weather permitting, but will move indoors if necessary.

Monitored Weed Drop-Off This Saturday, June 19

Now is the time to remove mature weeds that contain seeds that will be next year’s – and many more years – weeds. The first Monitored Weed Dropoff will be held this Saturday, June 19 from 9:00 to noon located north of the Waste Management transfer station at 666 Elm Road. Estes Land Stewardship Association (ELSA) volunteers will be on hand to answer weed questions ata-distance and direct traffic flow. You will unload your bags into a loader bucket that will deposit them into the dumpster. Bring in your weeds in paper yard bags for free disposal – no slash, pine needles, trash, or dirt. Please remove/shake off dirt from plant roots.

Unauthorized drop-offs at this location (w/video surveillance) are considered theft of services. Weeds and trash can be disposed of year-around at Waste Management for a fee. No bags of non-weed materials will be accepted at this event.

Paper yard bags are available for pur-

chase at local hardware stores. These events are being made possible with the support from Estes Land Stewardship Association, Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, and donations. The 14th Annual Weed Roundup will be held July 17. Additional Monitored Weed Drop-offs in August and September are pending due to funding sources. Free Twenty Obnoxious Weeds in the Estes Valley Identification and Management Guide weed booklets are available yearround at the Estes Valley Library, Town Hall Public Works and Police offices, Ace Hardware, and True Value. Electronic versions are posted on the Town of Estes Park website: www.estes.org/weeds ELSA meets the first Thursday of the month at 9:30 a.m. in the George Hix Room at US Bank.

For more information about ELSA contact: elsa.weeds@gmail.com Thanks for being good stewards of your property and surrounding areas!

EVICS Family Resource Center Helps With Childhood Development Summer is a great time to check in with EVICS Family Resource Center to receive helpful and accurate information regarding your child's development relative to their age. The first five years of a child's life are foundational because they are the building blocks to future health and happiness. Early learning, social capacity, and general well-being are also tied to a child's first five years. Developmental screenings provide a snapshot of your child's current skills, help identify their strengths, and help recognize any potential delay that could be addressed. Working alongside the team at EVICS Family Resource Center ensures that you have a team of support to connect you to any resources, as well as walk you through ups and downs of parenting the "terrible twos", potty training, kindergarten transitions, and support with all the other questions we ask as parents and caregivers.

Children one month to six years of age are encouraged to have regular developmental screenings, therefore they are free through the EVICS Family Resource Center in both English and Spanish. Information and insight about your child's development can open doors to resources to promote their future! During the months of July and August of this year, we are encouraging families to get their children screened by including a super fun summer developmental learning kit with every screening. Supporting your child's development can happen throughout the entire year and EVICS Family Resource Center is here to make it easy and fun! Participating families during these months will also be entered to win prizes! Please contact EVICS Family Resource Center at 970-586-3055 or meet Stacy at stacy@evics.org.

WHAT EVERY CHILD NEEDS IN A DAD – ‘HAPPY FATHERS DAY’ This Sunday is Fathers’ Day. Most people will tell you that it is “just like Mothers’ Day, except for fewer phone calls, cards, etc.” There are probably many reasons for that, but the reality is that ‘fathers’ are needed more now than ever. And, yet, it seems that there are fewer ‘real’ fathers today than ever. Someone has rightly said, “Any man can ‘father’ a child, but few men can be a real father.” So, if I want to be the father that my children need, what should I consider?

Several decades ago a psychologist by the name of Abraham Maslow suggested a ‘Hierarchy of Needs’ that must be met in order for a child to live a totally successful life. The first ‘need’ of every child brought into this world is ‘basic physical needs’ (food, air, shelter); next, ‘safety’ (order, structure, a predictable, secure environment); thirdly, ‘love and belonging’ (affection and friends); fourthly, a child needs a ‘sense of selfworth’ (value of and confidence in one’s own abilities); and, finally, ‘self-actualization’ (full use of one’s talents). It would be helpful for every parent to evaluate each of their children in light of these basic needs. Are they being met? And, by which parent? Hopefully, both!

I’m touched by the words of Reba Mcentre’s song about her father. Consider the above needs and how they were being met by that parent, her father. “The greatest man I never knew lived just down the hall and every day we said ‘hello’, but never touched at all. He was in his paper and I was in my room. How was I to know he thought I hung the moon. The greatest man I never knew, came home late every night. He never had too much to say, too much was on his mind. I really never knew him and now it seems so sad. Everything he gave to us took all he ever had. The greatest words I never knew, I guess I’ll never hear. The man I thought would never die, has been dead almost a year. He was good at business, but there was business yet to do. He never said he loved me. I guess he thought I knew.” Reba turned out well…and many children, raised with a similar ‘relationship’ with their father, will. But the sadness, felt in their hearts, should never be. So, let me challenge all of us fathers to review our role and see if we can do better.

Our children need, from their father: ‘significance’, ‘security’, ‘acceptance’. ‘to feel loved’, ‘praise’, and ‘discipline’, in order to become a person able to be totally successful in our society. Here are some suggestions for ‘us dads’ to help achieve each of these. ‘Significance’ – introduce our children to others, respect their choices and opinions, trust them to make choices, do things. ‘Security’ – build a secure marriage, build family togetherness. ‘Acceptance’ – show them you love them, want them, and enjoy them, really listen to them. ‘Love, and accept their love’ – love must be spoken, also shown in actions, love people more than things. ‘Praise’ – praise ‘who they are’ as well as what they do…on their own initiative, as well as in compliance with requests. Praise when it happens…sooner than later. Praise with actions as well as words. ‘Discipline’ – always remember it’s for ‘learning’, not for ‘punishment’. Let ‘love’ be evident in our discipline.

I’ll close with four requirements needed in building a relationship. ‘Commitment’ – shown by fathers by being ‘present’ and ‘evident’. ‘Communication’ – shown by fathers by sharing with and eagerly listening to each child in his family. ‘Companionship’ – very evident in fathers who are anxious to spend time with their children, in the activities of their children’s choices, as well as inviting their children to be involved in the activities of the father’s choice. Obvious ‘Caring actions’ that show each child they are loved. In Reba’s song this seemed to have been the most painful ‘lack’ she expressed. “He never said he loved me. I guess he thought I knew.” Verbally share your loving feelings. But, let your actions show it too. Virginia Satir, a noted family specialist, reminds us that every fulfilled, happy person, needs at least 8 hugs a day to be happy. May your children be among the ‘happy’ ones. God bless you, dads, in these very important roles you fill.

Crossroads Encourages Us All To Love Our Neighbors By: Brian Schaffer

The summer is in full swing and we’ve noticed a decline in the number of people stopping in for assistance. We recognize for many of our neighbors this is a great time to work more hours and for many to take on two jobs to catch up on bills as well as put extra money in the bank. An underlying goal of ours has always been to help people where they’re at and then help them get to where they’d like to be. For some, they need a little guidance to get there while others have already envisioned getting there, they just need some help to make their vision into a reality. Success stories are happening and we’re trying to get the word out of what’s happening.

Over the last 39 years, Crossroads has emerged as the place where needs are met with vital resources through established relationships infused with love and compassion. Many moving parts come together in a coordinated ap-

proach of neighbor helping neighbor.

Our greater vision is that these relationships will grow and expand into every neighborhood within the Estes Valley so that our community will be known as a place where Love for Neighbor is vitally important to our way of living. I truly believe there is a bonding process that takes place whenever a person serves a neighbor who is in need, and this can only be realized in relationship with another. A helpful tip in getting started is: whenever possible, do with rather than doing for. We may have or know something that our neighbors legitimately need, but a posture of partnership— even if it takes longer—validates everyone’s contribution to the solution. Let’s keep this in mind as we “love our neighbor” in word and deed. We would love to hear how you’re loving neighbors, or if you’d like to find out ways to better do this. Contact us anytime at brian@schaffer.net or 970-599-4200.

Big Thompson Canyon Association (BTCA) is organizing three yard sales this summer! We have been unable to hold our pancake breakfast, our major fundraiser, for two years so are planning a few small events to try and make up for some of the fundraising gap. All proceeds from renting the spaces at these sales will go to the BTCA for roof replacement and other deferred maintenance items. There will be small Cat Mint plants for landscaping available at the June sale, again with all proceeds to BTCA. In addition there will be burritos and green chili for sale, small local quilted items (wildlife, lodge, seasonal), and a variety of other treasures.

We are hoping to get lots of shoppers of course, but have room for more vendors as well. Have a pile of treasures - your treasures, items you hope will become other’s treasures, things you just have no room for? Artists need an outlet for all those projects you have been working on

for the past year? June 26 is the first of three opportunities this summer (last Saturday of June, July and August). We only ask for $20 for a space. What you make on your items —you keep. First come—first served. We can provide one 8’ table and will provide road signage.

You need not be a BTCA member to participate.

Tell your neighbors. And do plan to come by...ummm...buy?

Dates: the last Saturday of June (26), July (31), and August (28) Time: 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., setup at 8 a.m.

Location: BTCA building, 1479 Hwy US 34 west (east of Drake); spaces are outside, building will be closed Each person will be responsible for their own sales Cost: $20 per space per show (you can sign up for 1, 2 or 3 shows).

Five Fun Facts About… The Dusky Grouse By: Dawn Wilson

This week’s featured subject is the dusky grouse. Elusive and secretive, this large chicken-like ground bird can be found in the montane forests and adjacent open areas in southeastern Alaska, northwest territories of Canada, northwestern states, and into Colorado, California, Arizona, and New Mexico. In our region, the dusky grouse can be occasionally seen in the forests near Old Fall River Road and

along Trail Ridge Road. Here are more facts about this shy bird.

1. The dusky grouse used to be called the blue grouse. In 2006, the American Ornithological Society reclassified the blue grouse species as the dusky grouse and sooty grouse.

2. The dusky grouse is the second largest grouse in the U. S. after the sage grouse.

3. During the breeding season, the male dusky grouse will perform strut-

ting displays on the ground by fanning their tail feathers, expanding their rosecolored air sacs, and making deep but low-pitched whoop sounds.

4. Unlike most birds, dusky grouse move to lower elevations at the edge of aspen forests and sage brush in spring for breeding and into higher elevation forests during the winter.

5. Dusky grouse have well-camouflaged feathers for their forest habitat. To hide from predators, they will sit perfectly

still, flushing in a flurry of feathers if they feel they may be stepped on by the intruder.

Dawn Wilson is a professional and award-winning nature photographer who lives in Estes Park year-round. You can see more of her work, join one of her Rocky tours, and purchase prints and calendars at DawnWilsonPhotography.com or follow her on Instagram: @dawnwilsonphoto.

Dusky grouse can be extremely difficult to see in forests as their feathers give them fantastic camouflage in the shade of the trees.

During the summer, dusky grouse will raise their young and spend the warmer months on the edge of the aspen forest and sage brush, like this bird in Endovalley.

During the winter, dusky grouse actually migrate to higher elevations in the cover of the montane forest.

This Saturday, June 26, twenty-three students from the University of Texas cycle into Estes Park from Denver. The next morning, they will ride on to Steamboat Springs, and on to Dinosaur Monument in Utah the morning after that. But these are just three stops on their 70day journey: the students are participating in the Texas 4000 to raise money and awareness for cancer. It is the longest annual charity bike ride in the world.

Over its 17 years, Texas 4000 has raised millions of dollars in the fight against cancer, hand in hand with its goal to share hope, knowledge, and charity via its intrepid bike ambassadors.

COVID-19 forced the ride to go virtual in 2020.

Closed Canadian borders in 2021 made this year’s route an “out and back,” with the students returning to Austin rather than ending with the traditional finale in Anchorage, Alaska.

After Saturday's ride (over 100 miles, climbing 4300 feet) the students will be hosted in comfort at the Estes Park YMCA of the Rockies. Volunteers will cheer them on as they tackle the last long climb of the day, then treat them to dinner from Antonio's Real New York Pizza. Each of the cyclists has a story to share of family members taken by cancer and a fierce dedication to T4K’s mission.

The Rockies route is one of four blazed

by the college students: other groups are making their treks up the west coast, through the Midwest, and the Smoky Mountains. Over the past seventeen years, more than 900 UT students have journeyed from Austin to Anchorage, collectively raising more than $11.6 million dollars and pedaling more than 5.2 million miles. Grants are presented to over 20 cancer centers. For example, while in Denver, the 2021 Rockies team will give Texas 4000’s annual donation to Brent's Place, an Aurora long-term "home away from home" for children and families with cancer.

Texas 4000 empowers each student to raise $4,500, ride 2,000 training miles with his/her team, volunteer more than 50 hours in the community and play an active role in planning every aspect of the ride to Alaska.

The riders arrange all accommodations in advance during the training year. They rely on the generosity of host families, churches, and schools for shelter and are prepared to camp when housing is not available. Riders provide their own “SAG” support, rotating through the duties of driving the support vehicles, setting up rest stops, securing food donations, and preparing meals that are not provided.

Texas 4000’s mission is to cultivate student leaders and engage communities in the fight against cancer. Have a conversation with one of these students while they are in Estes Park, and you’ll quickly see it’s working.

Bike Estes Day June 23, Bike To Work In The Morning & Costume Bike Parade In The Evening “Get on your bikes and ride!” Freddy Mercury of Queen.

Please join the Estes Park Cycling Coalition for an all-day celebration of everything cycling. Bike Estes Day combines two great Estes Park cycling traditions, “Bike to Work Day” and the “Costume Bike Parade”, to focus attention that riding bikes is not only great exercise, and a great way to commute, but it is also a lot of fun. Come by yourself, bring a friend, bring the family and if you are visiting Estes Park and brought your bikes, join the fun!

Bike to Work Bike Estes Day starts off at 6am with our Bike to Work Festivities at the Town Visitor Center, which will run until 9am.

Start the day off right with donated coffee, breakfast burritos and other breakfast snacks. We will also have a bike repair stand, a kids’ bicycle obstacle course and Safe Routes to School information.

This is a great way to start your day and, while riding bikes is preferred, any mode of transportation to get there is ok!

Costume Bike Parade Emphasis on “Costume!” The costume bike parade is a fun event for families and cyclists of all skill levels and abilities.

All types of cyclists are welcome; we

have had smaller cyclists on Strider type push bikes, adaptive bikes, cruisers, tricycles, mountain bikes, road bikes and parents pulling the littlest cyclists in taga-longs in the past. The parade route starts at Performance Park and travels east, down West Elkhorn to East Elkhorn and finishes at the Estes Park Visitor Center. We are fortunate to get a police escort through downtown Estes Park where traffic will be stopped (thank you Town of Estes Police Department!) Come to Performance Park at 5:30 to decorate your bike as we will have decorations available. The parade will start promptly at 6 p.m. Don’t forget to wear a costume! The more extravagant and silly the better! There will be a costume contest and prizes for the winners.

The fun continues at the Visitor Center. We will have bicycle obstacle courses for little riders and even a more experienced rider obstacle course. There will be music from local musicians as well as food available.

Mark your calendars for June 23 and join in the fun!

A Birthday Mystery And Milestone: Library Building Turns 30

The Science And Safety Of Henna: Workshop For Teens And Tweens

Henna is a form of temporary body art, but not everyone knows the cultural history of this popular practice. As part of the Summer Reading Program, the library is hosting a hands-on Introduction to Henna Workshop for ages 10 through 17. The session takes place in-person at the library on Saturday, June 26 from 1:30 to 3:30 p. m.

The special guest for the workshop is Leah Reddell from Face Fiesta. Riddell uses a henna paste that is 100% natural and safe. She leads workshops across the Front Range and is certified by the ICNHA (International Certification for Natural Henna Artists).

Can you believe it? Our hometown library building turns 30 years old this month! Whether you were here in 1991, or planning to visit for the very first time, stop in to celebrate on Wednesday and Thursday, June 23 and 24.

We’ll have birthday hats galore. You can sign a giant greeting card. And share any special remembrances.

You might also be able to help us solve a bit of a puzzle. Read on …

Our library building has been an Estes treasure since it opened all those years ago. Visitors regularly express their appreciation for the downtown library experience, and “Parkitecture” design. We fondly remember architect Roger Thorp, who designed a building that adapted to many changes over time, including a second-level expansion in 2002. Roger passed away in 2019, yet his original vision is going strong.

Another part of the experience: all the original artwork that gives meaning and context to the library spaces. Step into the lobby and you’re greeted by a large whimsical mural, inspired by children’s books, created in 1991 by local artist Gary Keimig (1941-2018).

On the second floor: original Lyman Byxbe pieces, and a statuette of “La Poesia” given to the library by Eleanor James Hondius in the 1930s. We thank local

artist Greig Steiner, who helped us document and appraise the library’s myriad artwork.

More original artwork came later in the building’s 30-year journey. Michael Young painted the children’s room storybook-themed mural in 2009. He also gave our stairwell its colorful book titles which have charmed visitors since 2012.

Among the library art, we also cherish the stained-glass panels above the entryway. Look upward on your next visit and marvel at the design, inspired by our valley’s mountain views.

The stained glass installation was commissioned for the Library’s 1991 opening. Yet in the passage of time, we are without details about the artist.

If you might remember the designer of the stained glass pieces, give us a call.

Pinning down these details would be the icing on a “Happy 30” birthday cake.

Cheers to a library facility that has adapted admirably with the times.

Thank you to our residents and donors, who have made it possible for library services to grow and transform over three amazing decades.

Stop in next Wednesday or Thursday to share, celebrate, and reminisce. And to dream of where library services will be in 2051. After all, it’s only a mere 30 years away.

Whether familiar with henna, or exploring it for the first time, students ages 10 to 17 are encouraged to sign up to learn more from a regional henna artist and expert. Participants will learn about the history of henna, its cultural practices, and discover some basic design elements. The workshop is hands-on and designed for learning and fun.

Find out more and sign up at estesvalleylibrary.org.

Are We Alone?: “Colorado UFOs” Author Will Offer Insights On June 28 Are human beings alone in the universe? Or is there is something to the numerous stories of UFO phenomena that come from right here in the Centennial State? And what might we learn from the upcoming report on UFOs to be delivered to Congress by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence?

With UFOs big in the news this summer, the Library is hosting author and paranormal investigator Richard Estep for a special in-person program on Monday, June 28 at 6 p.m. Registration is now open and you can save yourself a seat by visiting estesvalleylibrary.org.

In his book “Colorado UFOs”, Estep takes readers on a whirlwind tour of contemporary UFO phenomena occurring in eleven locations throughout the state. From the Rocky Mountains to the Denver International Airport to a lonely and isolated UFO Watchtower in the San Luis Valley, Estep and other leaders in the field of Colorado

Ufology uncover some of the state’s most harrowing stories.

British by birth, Richard Estep makes Colorado his home, and he is the author of 20 books, most of them in the field of the paranormal. He has appeared on such television shows as “Haunted Case Files” and “Paranormal 911.”

In addition to attending the June 28 author program, readers are encouraged to sign up for the library’s Summer Reading Program, with the theme “Tails and Tales”.

The program is for all ages, with great prizes for completing a fun series of reading challenges.

The program is made possible by the Library Friends & Foundation.

Land Trust Breakfast Focuses On Arapaho Indian Connections To The Estes Valley

The Estes Valley is the ancestral home to the Arapaho, Ute and other Native American tribes. Historic US and State of Colorado policies displaced Native Americans from the valley and severed the physical connection they had with their homeland. The Estes Valley Land Trust will host a virtual breakfast to learn more about the tribal connections to the valley and discuss partnership opportunities between tribal and land conservation organizations.

The breakfast will include a panel with Mr. Fred Mosqueda, Arapaho Indian, and Coordinator of the Culture Program of the Arapaho and Cheyenne Tribes, and Dr. Patty Limerick, Faculty Director and Chair of the Board of the Center of the American West, University of Colorado.

This Estes Valley Land Trust breakfast will be held on Saturday, June 26 at 9 a.m. and will take place online. Reservations are required and can be made at: evlandtrust.org/rsvp. This event is for EVLT members only. Not a member?

Please join here: evlandtrust.org/donate.

There is no charge for the online breakfast and attendees receive two free Cinnamon’s Bakery cinnamon rolls, if registered by June 18. Quantities are limited and details on where to pick up the cinnamon rolls will be emailed to those who register.

“The land trust recently made a commitment to be a more inclusive organization and better serve the whole community” said Jeffrey Boring, Estes Valley Land Trust Executive Director. “Our tribal partners are deeply connected to nature and I’m looking forward to working with them to conserve more land in the valley.”

About the Estes Valley Land Trust Founded in 1987 by Estes Park residents, the Estes Valley Land Trust is a nationally recognized land conservation organization that has preserved nearly 10,000 acres of land and some of the most iconic landscapes in the Estes Valley. More than 400 members support the Estes Valley Land Trust annually and additional information can be found at evlandtrust.org.

Welcome Home.

We can help you find your dream home or that perfect business opportunity. Full service residential and commercial real estate services.

US Trail Running Conference Announces Theme For 2021 - Trail Running As A Restorative Sport Empowering long term success for trail races and a zero carbon sport Active at Altitude, organizers of the US Trail Running Conference has announced the theme for this year’s edition of the annual event, Trail Running as a Restorative Sport. This theme is an organic and logical development from last year’s successful theme of Trail Running Communities for Climate Action and Sustainability.

The ninth annual US Trail Running Conference will be held October 27-30, 2021, and is presented by UltraSignup and Spartan Trail. The Conference is also held in partnership with the American Trail Running Association (ATRA), and is delivered across two segments.

The first presents content designed for trail race directors, and is held Wednesday, October 27, to Friday, October 29, while the second segment contains trail runner focused content, and takes place on Saturday, October 30. The Spartan Trail US Championship also takes place in Fayetteville following the Conference, with a 10k night run on Saturday, October 30, and a 10k, half marathon, and 50k on Sunday, October 31.

The theme of Trail Running as a Restorative Sport was inspired by the book, The Ecology of Commerce by Paul Hawken. In his book Hawken eloquently

reminds us that the “promise of business is to increase the well-being of humankind through service, creative invention, and ethical action.” (p.2). The content illustrates how far the sport of trail running has moved away from adding positive actions to all of those factors. It is time to create new and innovative practices so that the sport truly represents and increases the well-being of all runners and this planet.

For trail race directors, the theme will be delivered by a combination of expert presentations and speaker panels that will cover four foundational components that each contribute towards moving trail running to become a restorative sport. The four components for race directors are: Climate, Diversity, Community and Business.

Within the Climate component, content will cover effective steps we can all take on cli-mate action and that races can share with their runners and followers, sustainability initiatives, programs like the TerraCycle Performance Nutrition Brigade from GU Energy Labs, and how we can move the sport towards a goal of zero carbon. For the Diversity component, content will focus on how races can attract a more diverse audience and reach out to BIPOC, women, LGBTQIA, blind and adaptive, youth and elder runners, and other under rep-

resented groups in the sport. Contained in the Community component, content will cover how to grow trail running communities, maintaining and cherishing trails, and a program to attract new and younger race directors to the sport.

Finally, the Business component will feature content to help race directors market their races, create effective courses, make their races stand out, and establish effective sponsor partnerships.

For trail runners, content will be focused on Climate, Diversity, and Community. In a similar process to the session for race directors, information for trail runners will also be delivered by a mixture of expert presentations and speaker panels. Information on Climate will be delivered by sessions on climate action including personal responses. Diversity will be covered by a women’s panel, and sessions on BIPOC, and other representative groups. Lastly, Community will include sessions on starting your own trail running group, as well as healthy running and the importance of trail running as a spiritual experience.

Adam Chase, President of the American Trail Running Association, remarked that he was thrilled with this year’s theme: “The same governing principles of economy and ecology overlap with those of trail running. We all strive for efficiency and optimized form, getting the most out of our runs, enjoying the environment through which we flow, leaving nothing and taking only memo-

ries. The Conference will address the challenge of how we might grow our sport and community in a sustainable manner while allowing the ‘industry’ of trail races, gear, camps, publications, and other aspects to flourish?”

Event Director Terry Chiplin comments: “We are particularly excited to announce the theme for this year’s US Trail Running Conference as it reflects a timely change in di-rection for the sport.

We know that all trail runners and race directors are passionate about caring for our environment and communities, and we are excited to generate and deliver content that will provide positive education opportunities across the four pillars of the sport, Climate, Diversity, Community and Business. We look forward to this being another must-attend event for anyone that is interested in helping to move the sport toward a restorative model that revitalizes habitats, ecosystems, businesses and our communities to their optimum.”

Our Planet Partners

Believe it or not, recycling does not end with what you can put into your curbside bin. While it is great to recycle so easily (for things that can be single streamed efficiently), there are many, many forms of recycling that “the bin” (or bag) does not accommodate. Pursue zero waste! Don’t let anyone tell you to send it to the landfill until you, personally, have checked your options.

As for as our local entrepreneurs that are doing their best to support the community by helping us redirect discards that Larimer County / Waste Management do not handle, they are a tremendous help with our efforts to redirect the salvageable. Never leave donations by the door! We have had a few partners give up collecting because people abused the privilege. Always submit during work hours when the shop is open.

A few local businesses give away for reuse what they have in abundance.

Smith Sign Studio gives away “scrap vinyl” (sort of like shelf paper) in a variety of colorful options. If you need cardboard boxes for moving, storage, or some other project, check with Estes Park Brewery or Snowy Peaks Winery.

Enchanted Florist sometimes has extra compost for gardens.

We discover new additions every day. If you own a business and wish to collect something (or give something away), please email me. If you know of a business that collects something, have them email me. Inspired Art Experiences is a new Planet Partner. They collect corks, crayons, thin card, metal bottle caps, rubber bands, fabric scraps, beads, and newspapers, plus the plastic carryout bags that many stores currently give away.

Cliffhanger collects books (and a few supplemental items), then sells them to benefit our local library and the great programs they sponsor. Stop by and check out what they have in stock. It changes every day. Ed’s Cantina collects brightly colored cloth napkins and tablecloths for their dining room. Enchanted Florist will be glad to find your superfluous vases a new home. It is illegal to put paint into your trash cans (landfill or recycling) in Colorado. Bestway Painting collects leftover paint and paint supplies.

Contact them for details about what they take and do not take. Some of this, they can put to good use. The leftovers will be responsibly recycled. The UPS Store reuses shipping supplies. Simply Christmas will be pleased to put your leftover wrapping materials to good use, Cross-

roads runs the food pantry, so take them your food surplus, for humans or pets. The Pet Lodge also takes pet food and supplies plus old, even torn up, blankets are a great comfort to puppies and kittens. Springback Colorado (Denver, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins) will recycle used mattresses and Estes Park Power and Communication has an arrangement with ARCA to offer a rebate on working refrigerators for their customers. The Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center will recycle an old vehicle if donated to them, non-driveables are welcome. Contact them directly.

Consignment and thrift shops take in used things to resell to those who are looking for them. Between Friends is a consignment shop, which means you can make a profit when they sell your items. Uncle Benny’s (in Loveland) buys used construction (and remodeling) materials and supplies. Check their website for a thorough listing of what they accept. The Elizabeth Guild (including Lizzie’s Boutique) is a great place to shop for new-used clothing, and other treasures as well. Village Thrift has a tremendous list of what they accept on their website. Check it out! Shopping at these locations translates to saving money while saving the world!

Both Wendy’s Optical and Aspen Eyecare collect old glasses for the Lion’s Club ongoing project. Printer and toner cartridges can be recycled at Healing Waters. Country Market collects clean carryout bags for recycling into new plastic bags of the same type. Safeway expanded their collection activity to include other types of plastic bags and film. They donate to a company that uses it to make “plastic wood.” Save trees while saving the elk from plastic bags.

And don’t forget the annual collection at Estes Recycles Day. This year’s poster awards and proclamation will be July 13th and the event is scheduled for August 7th (more on this next week).

If you do not know what to do with something: first, check www.estesrecycles.org to see if there is a local (Estes) option. The Planet Partner Page lists Estes businesses that accept your castoffs. If nothing there strikes your fancy, check the websites for Fort Collins Solid Waste (Hwy. 34) and Ecocycle (Hwy. 36). They both have excellent A-Z lists that give you multiple options. Type in the item you no longer want and see what they say. If you find no solutions, email me.

Matching Grant Opportunity!

Streamlined Online Scholarship Management Program Dear community: Year after year local organizations have generously provided vital scholarship support for our Estes Park High School (EPHS) graduates heading to post-high school education. They are so appreciated!

For decades, EPHS has been using a paper-and-folder procedure that is labor intensive and lacks the efficiency and consistency needed, especially when there is a change of personnel.

There is a solution for this, and Estes Park Education Foundation (EPEF) is inviting you to help to make it happen.

EPEF was approached

by EPHS to get an online scholarship management program (all the neighboring districts use one) to provide a more efficient and secure process. After reviewing seven programs, Foundant Technologies was found to best match the needs of our stakeholders: students, scholarship providers, and counselors. It is hoped that the ease of use and efficiency will encourage more students to consider post-secondary education and more organizations to consider some financial support for them. The program would save time and energy that would benefit all stakeholders.

The Foundant Advanced Program is a streamlined and totally online service (paper copies available) for locally provided scholarships. All stakeholders would have their own secure portals to access their parts of the program. Some of its features include: • A Scholarship Manager as the point person for the program.

• Students complete a Universal Application (UA) and take an Eligibility Quiz for the local scholarships available.

• Organizations can add resumes, essays, etc., to those UAs that would come to them.

• Once student applications are closed, local scholarship • Local scholarship providers receive a list of students (names blinded for confidentiality) who met their requirements, with links to the students’ applications for review.

• The system’s review and evaluation process makes it easier and more efficient for scholarship committees to make decisions, reducing bias and allowing for equitable applications are automatically submitted for all scholarships for which a student qualifies. If any of these schol-

arships require supplemental materials beyond the questions on the UA, the student will automatically be prompted by the system to submit these materials. distribution of available awards. Names of students receiving scholarships would then be given to providers.

• Providers would continue to pay the educational institution directly.

Thompson Education Foundation has been using this service, and their scholarship providers are very satisfied with it. Rotary Club of Loveland sums it up: “Our committee has found the review process to be easy and efficient.

Scholarship administration is hugely simplified, as the system manages student contact information and scholarship details securely. Being able to use the Foundant platform has transformed our scholarship management process and allows us to focus on awarding and celebrating the students rather than being mired in administrative details.” Laura Armstrong, Chair, Scholarship Committee EPEF has committed $2,000 per year to help pay for this program with the idea that, instead of providing a scholarship for one or two students, we could support a process that provides a service for all graduates. Unfortunately, this $2000 will not cover the entire cost of this program.

Mueller, Pye, and Associates CPA is generously offering to match each provider’s contribution, dollar-for-dollar, up to $2,000 per year for five years.

This matching grant opportunity is for June through July so that EPEF can purchase the program to begin training and working on customizing its design in August.

We are hoping that, with enough scholarship providers and interested parties committing to an annual contribution with this matching grant, we will have the cost of the program covered.

Donations can be made online at epeducationfoundation.org OR via check to our PO Box. Please write “EPHS Matching Grant” on the memo line.

If you’d like more information, please contact: info@epeducationfoundation.org OR bevbachman. epef@gmail.com Thank you, dear community, for your continued support of our students!

Hilltop Guild Awards Six Scholarships To Students In Estes Park & Lyons The Hilltop Guild is an association of mountain women who live at least part of the time in and around Allenspark.

They make and sell handicrafts from dandelion jelly to weavings, from quilts to peanut brittle. With the money they make from sales, particularly from the annual bazaar (which this year will be on Saturday, Aug. 7), they give scholarships to local high school students in Lyons and Estes Park.

Members of the Education/Philanthropic Committee this past year were Carol Halsey, Barb Coles and Donna Squyres. The chair, Carol Halsey, said she joined the Guild in 1979.

"I joined for the crafts and then found out there was a lot more to it," she said.

She has been on the Philanthropic Committee for 25 years, longer than many of the scholarship recipients are old. She loves it.

"You always hear about kids in trouble, you don't read about honor students and volunteers," she said. For instance, she said it was groups of students who really helped after the 2013 flood cleaning out cabins and helping older folks regain their lives.

"By reading so many scholarship applications, you really get to find out how great these kids are," she added. Usually 25 to 30 seniors apply for scholarships from Estes Park while about a dozen apply from Lyons. She wishes all of the kids could have earned a scholarship.

Instead, this past spring, thousands of dollars were given to six worthy students, three from Estes and three from Lyons, including: Rachel Calvin of Estes Park High School. Rachel received the Betty Fulton memorial scholarship. Betty was a Guild member and avid weaver for 37 years.

Her woven items were highly sought after at the annual bazaar. Betty also organized weekend conferences for interested weavers in and out of the area.

Those who attended were housed in the homes of other Guild members. Betty encouraged weaving to as many people as she could and the Guild philanthropy committee chose Rachel because of her love of colors and textures, interior decoration and architecture. Rachel was awarded $500. She wants to make spaces welcoming and inviting and took a construction geometry class to help her understand her chosen field.

Rachel is also active in the community from tutoring students learning English as a Second Language to making quilts for cancer patients. She also works with the Estes Park Lions Club and visits seniors at the Estes Park Living Center.

Ellie Bergsten of Estes Park High School received the Joan Rogers Memorial Scholarship. Joan was a much-loved member of the Guild for 19 years and one member described her by saying: "Joan would rather give than receive."

She was the corresponding secretary for the Guild for many years up to her death in 2020. At the annual bazaar, Joan was always to be found at the country kitchen, making sure all the donations of baked goods were properly displayed and priced. She did all these things responsibly with kindness and a dry sense of humor. This $2,000 memorial scholar-

ship was awarded to Ellie because she has a strong sense of community involvement, much like Joan. Ellie balanced academics with her commitment to community service, maintaining a 4.0 grade point average while volunteering at the Estes Park Library and as a member of the Key Club.

Jennifer Kinch of Estes Park High School was awarded $1,500 in the Hilltop Guild 2021 Scholarship In the Hilltop Guild handbook, the question is asked: "Who are we?"

One of the answers is: "We are neighbors helping neighbors."

The Guild committee looks at many criteria including grades, school activities including band and athletics, community involvement, dedication and enthusiasm. This $l, 500 Hilltop Guild scholarship was awarded to Jennifer because, as one of her teachers commented, Jennifer is her own toughest critic when it comes to academic performance. This characteristic is a definite positive when it comes to success in college. Jennifer’s goal is to study either environmental or chemical engineering.

Jennifer has ideas about solving environmental problems and knows a college degree will help her find the answers to these problems.

Sierra Andresen of Lyons High School was awarded the $2,000 Marjorie McCulloch Memorial Scholarship. Marge lived in a small cabin in the Meeker Park area for many years. She was active in the USO during World War II, she valued health care, and she enjoyed writing. She wrote articles about the animals she saw around her cabin, contributing these articles to the Allenspark monthly newspaper, The Wind. For this reason Sierra, who wants to be a veterinarian, was chosen for this scholarship.

Marge would approve of her veterinary goal, her music and her enthusiasm.

Avery Joy of Lyons High School was given the Gerald Halsey Memorial Scholarship. Jerry was a three-sport athlete in high school and while in the Navy played on the All-Navy basketball team. In college he earned a master's degree in special education. As a teacher he also coached track and cross country, football and, of course, basketball. He believed that athletics should be the basis for developing discipline, and that the educational process was much the same as athletics, in that they both require discipline and hard work. Avery was chosen for this $1,600 scholarship because she challenged herself academically and worked hard to achieve both team and individual athletic goals.

"It makes me very happy to share Jerry's life with these students," said Carol about her late husband.

Tala Moe of Lyons High School is the recipient of the second $1,500 Hilltop Guild 2021 Scholarship. The committee unanimously chose Tala because she is kind, cares about her family and friends, and demonstrates a great work ethic when learning the flute and guitar. The women of the Guild salute Tala and all the recipients of 2021 scholarships, wishing each one a successful career and a long and happy life.

Mark J. Lorenz June 2, 1961—May 20, 2020

Mark Lorenz, a.k.a. Silver Service House Doctor, passed away peacefully on May 20, 2020 at home after a long struggle with terminal cancer. Because of the risks of Covid at the time of death, Mark’s memorial was delayed and will now take place this Sunday, June 20th at 9 a.m. This will be a joint Sunday morning worship service and celebration of life at Mark’s home congregation, Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran. All friends from the community are invited to join the congregation in celebrating the same Word and Sacrament which sustained Mark throughout his life.

Mark made friends with a variety of people. From the Boy Scouts to model railroaders, from contractors to men in Bible study, from Habitat for Humanity projects to volunteering at La Puente in Alamosa, Mark’s quirky personality and unorthodox ways kept him engaged with many others. He added new perspectives to the projects with which he was involved while also supporting the importance of the common purpose. This was evident in his Christian Faith and the conviction of God’s Grace being the ultimate hope.

Quilts Of Valor Seeking Veterans The Estes Valley Quilt Guild will resume giving Quilts of Valor to veterans who have been touched by war. The presentation ceremony will be before the

Village Band Concert at Performance Park on July 4, 2021. Please forward a deserving veteran's contact information to mvsecretary1575@mvbf.org.

Laurie Andrews Krushenisky Laurie Andrews Krushenisky passed away in Estes Park on April 26, 2021.

Laurie was born in St. Louis, Missouri on August 11, 1945, to Austin and Pauline Andrews. The family moved to Denver, Colorado in 1946 where Laurie was raised. She studied and graduated with a BA degree in education from Colorado Woman's College in Denver. As part of her degree, she experienced a year in Vienna, Austria where she deepened her great love of art and also a desire to travel. Laurie taught in the Denver Public School System for three years.

On April 6, 1968, Laurie married James Krushenisky. Laurie led a life of adventure, starting with a move to Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire in 1969, where they opened a gift shop and Laurie taught in the elementary school there. They raised and raced sled dogs in the surrounding area.

Once Jim accepted a position with Sturm Ruger & Company, they lived in Missouri, Kansas, Connecticut and Marshall, Texas. In Marshall, Laurie

was the Director of the Leo Michelson Museum for several years.

In 1997, they moved to Estes Park where Laurie's parents had a vacation home. Laurie became very involved with the art community of Estes Park, including the Art Center where she served as President and member of the Board. She was a member of the Weaver's Guild, and was creative with paper sculpture.

Friends and family always appreciated handmade cards and gifts from Laurie. She was a member of P.E.O. Chapter HF. Travel to Europe was always a priority, and this included several trips to Paris and the art scene.

Laurie worked at Macdonald Book Shop in Estes Park for 18 years, and her artistic touches, her personality and knowledge of books made her a most valued member of the team.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Jim of 53 years, brothers Kent Andrews (Mary Jo), and Dale Andrews (Sandy). She was preceded in death by her parents.

Congratulations And Thank You Estes Park!

The community has formally completed the fundraising necessary to complete the Estes Park Women’s Monument project. As usual, this awesome community stood-up, joyfully supported this grassroots effort and continues to move forward to make our Town better.
