Town Launches New Resource Showing Parking Availability Downtown The Town of Estes Park’s Parking & Transit Division has launched a new resource for those looking to find available parking in downtown Estes Park. There are two ways to access the resource: 1. Download the “Estes Parking” app for free at either the Google Play Store (Android devices) or App Store (Apple devices); or 2. Visit www.estes.org/parking for a direct link to a mobile-friendly and responsive web version. No downloads necessary.

Parking availability is presented in two formats – a list view, which outlines the Town-owned parking facilities by name; and a map view – which shows the Town-owned parking facilities on a Google Map. Depending on how full a particular facility is, viewers will see a green happy face (indicating “Good” parking availability), a yellow serious face (indicat-

ing “Fair” parking availability) or a red unhappy face (indicating “Poor” parking availability).

Both the web and app versions allow users to view the characteristics of a specific parking facility (e.g., types of parking available – RV/oversized vehicle, Electric Vehicle) and include pictures of each facility’s entrance. There is also a “Take Me There” option that will automatically open an individual’s preferred mapping app (e.g., Google Maps) directing the driver to the facility.

The parking availability information is powered by the Town’s new mobile License Plate Recognition vehicle which is also being used for parking enforcement and data collection purposes. For more information, visit www.estes.org/parking or contact Vanessa Solesbee, Parking & Transit Manager at 970-577-3957 or vsolesbee@estes.org.

Several updates were made to shuttle stop locations and service routes in 2019 in an effort to improve the frequency of service, safety of stop locations for both drivers and riders, and to provide improved connection to additional neighborhoods within Town limits.

• SILVER ROUTE: Travels southwest along Hwy 7 stopping at The Ridgeline Hotel, before looping up to Estes Park Health, returning to Hwy 7 on Stanley

Avenue, stopping near the Dollar General / Ziggi’s Coffee and the Saddle & Surrey before turning around at Carriage Drive / Hwy. 7 and returning to Town via Community Drive, with stops at both the Estes Valley Community Center and Events Complex Park-nRide.

• BROWN ROUTE: Travels southwest with stops on Riverside Dr. near the Open Air Adventure Park and Estes Park Brewery, Worldmark, and Alpine Trail Ridge Inn, turning around at Elk Meadow Lodge and RV Park and then continuing east along Moraine to serve National Park Village, Meadow Mini Golf, The Twisted Pine, Piccadilly Square and Bond Park.

Each route takes approximately 30 minutes roundtrip. Riders can download the DoubleMap app for both Android and Apple devices to track Estes Transit bus and shuttle locations in realtime. The DoubleMap app also shows the location of Rocky Mountain National Park’s Hiker Shuttle.

A map of the shuttle routes, the full schedule, and special service information is available at www.estes.org/shuttles. For more information about Estes Park's shuttle routes, please contact Estes Park Visitor Services at 970-577-9900. The 2019 Estes Transit service season will end Sept. 8.

Poppy’s Pizza & Grill Recognized As Estes Bright Spot For Its Brodie Wall

Owners Rob and Julie Pieper with artist, Michael Young.

The Estes Park in Bloom committee presented the first “Estes Bright Spot” award of 2019 to Poppy’s Pizza & Grill, 342 E. Elkhorn Ave., for its heritage preservation project, the Brodie Wall.

The committee presented a traveling sign for the property, a window cling and a framed certificate of recognition to owners Julie and Rob Pieper.

Inside Poppy’s Pizza & Grill is the featured Brodie Wall, created in the aftermath of the 2013 flood. As the Piepers worked to remove everything that had been damaged by floodwater, the idea for the wall was born. They remembered that the plaza had been built on the site of the landmark Brodie’s Market. They began researching old photographs and reached out to local artist Michael Young, who was excited to take on the project thanks to his fond memories of the market. Young worked with the Estes Park Museum to create the artwork,

researching the original sign stored by the museum. The Piepers also display flowers in a produce crate from Brodie’s that belonged to Julie’s father. She added, “Members of the Brodie family have taken family portraits in front of our wall, laughing and remembering their years serving the community. The project was worth it, just for that.”

To learn more about Poppy’s Pizza & Grill, visit www.poppyspizzaandgrill.com.

The designation of an “Estes Bright Spot” recognizes a business, organization or private residence that places emphasis on beautifully maintained landscapes, floral displays, environmental efforts, heritage preservation, and arts and culture. To submit a nomination for an “Estes Bright Spot” award, contact Keri Kelly at 970-577-3782 or kkelly@estes.org.

Delayed Opening For Old Fall River Road In Rocky Mountain National Park Old Fall River Road, which normally opens to vehicles by the Fourth of July holiday weekend, is anticipated to open on Saturday, July 13, if weather and conditions allow. Winter conditions at higher elevations in the park, as recently as June 23, have delayed the snow clearing and maintenance of Old Fall River Road. The road is currently closed to all uses, including bicycles and pedestrians Tuesday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and open Saturday, Sunday and Monday to bicycles and pedestrians. This schedule will continue until the road opens to vehicles.

There are limited long term records of the opening dates of Old Fall River Road prior to 1985. In 2011, after the heaviest late spring snow seen in decades, the opening was delayed until July 30. That was the latest the road

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 June 16, the Estes Valley Fire Protection District (EVFPD) responded to 17 calls for service. This

had opened in 26 years. Old Fall River Road received significant damage during the historic flood of 2013 and reopened in July of 2015.

Old Fall River Road was built between 1913 and 1920. It is an unpaved road which travels from Endovalley Picnic Area to above treeline at Fall River Pass, following the steep slope of Mount Chapin’s south face. Due to the winding, narrow nature of the road, the scenic 9.4-mile route leading to Trail Ridge Road is one-way only. Vehicles over 25 feet and vehicles pulling trailers are prohibited on the road.

Old Fall River Road is scheduled to close to vehicles for the season on October 7, 2019.

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

Having lived in Estes Park for over seventy years, Bill Van Horn has seen the changes in Estes Park more than most. Bill continues to contribute to both conservation and economic sustainability efforts.

Born and raised in Estes Park, he graduated High School here and went on to get a degree in Engineering from Colorado State University. Early on, he and his family were involved in dude ranching and also owned the Hobby Horse Ranch and Red Stallion restaurant, which later became Discovery Lodge.

Bill went on to become a full time engineer for the Town of Estes Park and helped create the Public Works and Planning Departments for the town. In 1978, he took over Van Horn Engineering from his Father, Paul Van Horn, who had led surveying efforts for the Estes Park portion of the excavation of the Adams tunnel to Grand Lake. Bill retired from the engineering firm in 2003.

In 1985, Bill Van Horn was instrumental in the planning, engineering and creation of Stanley Village. “I remember when we were building Safeway and a lot of people were opposed to it. The same thing happened when we built Fun City and today they are very important to both residents

and visitors alike,” said Bill.

Given his experience and background, Bill currently serves on the Larimer County Board of Appeals. He also serves as the Chairman of the MacGregor Ranch Board of Trustees and as a Director of the North End Property Owners Association. Macgregor Ranch is the last remaining working cattle ranch in Estes Park and one of the few sites operating as both a working ranch and youth education center in the northern Colorado area. It’s unique in that its historic collection and structures are original to the 1873 homestead family, and its collection is completely intact.

Believing in the importance of economic sustainability as well, Bill became an Estes Park EDC board member at its inception in 2013. Van Horn favors supporting local businesses first, rather than trying to attract out-of-town businesses. “I’m not a big believer in recruiting new business to Estes Park. I don’t think we need new big businesses,” he said.

While supporting efforts to diversify from our dependence on visitation, Bill recognizes those businesses need to complement our existing businesses, not change our character. “I think we should focus on taking care of the people that are coming to visit,” says Bill. “We need to make sure that we give visitors a good vacation experience outside of the park as well. But we need to do that without affecting the character of the town.”

The independent living establishment where my mother had lived for the last year told us they could no longer meet her needs and she would need to move out. Feeling dejected, we visited and evaluated more than a dozen assisted living communities and finally settled on one near me. This new-to-us, unfamiliar place was to be Mom’s new home.

This meant we had to downsize again, after having just done so a year earlier when we relocated Mom and Dad from their four-bedroom-home-since-1973 into a two-bedroom apartment. After Dad’s passing in November, Mom was alone, lonely and no longer able to live on her own. Now we have moved her away from her golf friends, bridge groups, church congregation, her library volunteer colleagues, her former neighbors of decades and familiar neighborhood. And now her oldest son and his branch of the family tree are three hours away. It has been an adjustment.

Here is a letter to those who keep her close in their hearts: Dear Friends of Jo, After the warm and encouraging send-off you gave Jo, I thought you might appreciate an update on her. She has a lovely one-bedroom apartment with windows on two sides of the living room at her new assisted living community. Although we visited many places and this one was the best fit, it is not perfect of course. No place is. It is smaller and therefore more manageable and that has been a positive change.

She isn't really connecting with the other residents much and often says she misses you, her friends. She may not be able to name you by name but she certainly remembers you and the sense of well being you give her. Because she doesn’t drive she has no outlet to meet people outside of the premises, which makes it seem a little like she is caged (my words). So I try to get her out and occupied several times a week. We weeded in my yard the other day and then she helped chop vegetables for

salad that evening.

As you all know, nothing makes her happier than being productive and helpful, two things she doesn’t get to do in assisted living.

Sometimes she is pure Jo, with her smile and silly humor, listening ear and philosophical comments. Other times she speaks with “word salad” (I cant take credit for that great term), she puts on three tops, and is confused about how to answer the phone. The awareness that she is losing her memory and can’t find her words is extremely upsetting to her.

She has pointed to her head in frustration and said, “There’s nothing there!”

I’ve seen her cry more since her diagnosis than ever before, but I’ve also heard her laugh more. All in the life of someone with dementia.

Mom called me last night to suggest I look at the sunset, which she was watching out her apartment window. She'd never seen a sky that pink, she said.

(That's the beauty of having a limited memory.)

Overall I’d say she is content, more or less. Of course things could be better, which is true for all of us, but things could be worse, also true for us all. She’d love a phone call and will either recognize your voice immediately or will act like she does and then hopefully come around to that. She probably won’t remember to tell me you called so if you’re inclined, please let me know after you’ve spoken with her.

Thank you for your friendship, with my mom and with me. Through her, I’ve gotten to know you over the years. We’ve shared some good times—with and without Jo—and made our own memories together. She misses you and I miss you too!

With a big ol’ hug, Sarah You may let The Thunker know what you think at her e-mail address, donoholdt@gmail.com. © 2019 Sarah Donohoe

Sunshine has been very ill with some unknown illness. We have had a Sonogram only to discover that there was no sign of any internal problem. Marie has been wonderful in her care of Sunshine, diligently eliminating various problems are diseases that it could be. Sunshine’s fever has broken and now is starting to eat after five days of turning her nose up at any type of food. Last night she decided that my Fritos looked pretty good, yes that is the first thing she would eat. Heck, I gave her all she wanted.

Today she ate some chicken and dry food.

She is on three different antibiotics and a steroid. Guess they are working so I may get Sunshine back in my life. Y’all know how much I love her and you’ve read all about her as she has grown from a puppy to a lovely, young four-year-old.

With the fourth of July behind us there are still many days of summer and entertaining ahead of us. Did I say summer? Yes, summer has finally arrived in Estes. A friend sent me an interesting pie recipe that I think y’all might enjoy. It is very similar to one called Shaker pie. I had made the Shaker pie before but found it was too strong with slices of lemon but this one grinds up the lemons.

The following is from Joannie J. “Hi Esther, You may have enough recipes for your column but wanted to send this to you because I have made it for many wine and cheese get-togethers and everyone asks for the recipe and for me to bring it again. It is easy and so fresh for summer.”

I'll give my version because I found that a couple changes from the original makes it even better.

Military Appreciation Night At The Rooftop Rodeo July 11 Know The Rules Of The Road When Driving and Biking-Wear a Helmet!

We don’t need to tell you that it is busy on the roads in the Estes Valley, but what we would like to remind you is that in Colorado, bicyclists and motorists have the same rights and responsibilities when using public roads.

For bicyclists, Bicycle Colorado offers this advice: If you are a bicyclist who enjoys riding on the road, please make sure you are aware of your responsibility.

• Be courteous, share the road and obey all traffic laws, signs and signals.

• Ride on the shoulder (if one exists) or on the right side of the road, unless: • You feel that the shoulder or the right side of the road is unsafe*, or • You are preparing to make a left turn, or • You are overtaking a slower-moving vehicle, or • You are riding on a one-way road and would prefer to ride on the left side.

• When riding next to parked cars, allow enough space between your bike and the cars so that you do not have to suddenly change lane position if a car door is opened.

• You may ride two abreast when doing so does not impede the flow of traffic.

Ride single file to allow vehicles to pass.

• When riding curving canyon roads without bike lanes or shoulders, play it safe and ride single file.

• Signal turns for 100 feet in advance, unless you need both hands to brake or control your bicycle.

• You may use either arm to signal a right turn. Either point to the right or raise your left arm in an “L” shape.

• At night, ride with a white front light and a red rear light or reflector.

• Yield to pedestrians.

If a person driving a motor vehicle behaves aggressively or dangerously, dial *CSP (*277) from your cell phone to reach the Colorado State Patrol. You’ll need to provide the vehicle license plate number (mandatory), location and direction of travel, vehicle and driver description and a description of the aggressive behavior.

For motorists, it is important that you

also know the rules of the road.

• When passing a bicyclist, allow at least three feet of space between the widest point of your vehicle and the widest point of the bicyclist (this is a law in Colorado). To pass a bicyclist safely, you may cross a double yellow center line when oncoming traffic is clear.

• Be courteous and share the road.

• Just because there’s a sidewalk, it doesn’t mean a cyclist can ride on it, especially in a town as busy as Estes Park. It is often illegal for bicyclists to ride on sidewalks.

Cycling on the road is different that walkers on the road. Cyclists should be riding with traffic, not against it.

For additional information about Colorado Bicycling Laws, this site provides a comprehensive review, denverbicyclelaw.com/colorado-bike-laws/ A message from the Estes Park Health EMS and Emergency Department: Wear a helmt! Even what is supposed to be a joyful bike ride around Lake Estes can turn tragic in a moment if you and your children are not wearing helmets.

Adults, please be the example for your children and wear a helmet every time you get on your bike. Even children riding in pull-behind carriers should have a helmet to protect their precious brains. Be safe and enjoy the ride!

Special Appeal To Community To Support our Youngest Citizens A strong and sustainable community depends on the well-being of its children. Estes Valley Investment in Childhood Success (EVICS) has been providing childcare scholarships to local families since 2006, making it possible for lower income families to access safe and reliable childcare. On average, the cost of full day childcare for two young children in Estes Park is $1400 per month. Without EVICS assistance, the cost of childcare is out of reach for many Estes Park families.

In a normal year, EVICS is able to keep up with childcare scholarship requests through their successful donor-based fund. However, the last 2 years have been anything but “normal”! The Larimer County Childcare Assistance Program has been on an enrollment freeze since September 2017, severely impacting families in our community, and increasing the demand on the local EVICS Program. Unable to access the County Childcare Assistance Program, more and more families turn to EVICS for scholarship assistance. In a typical year, EVICS budgets and awards approximately $25,000 in childcare scholarships. EVICS Executive Director, Nancy Almond reports that EVICS has already awarded over $31,000 to families since January 1, and is at risk of running out of funds long before year-end. How will this impact families?

Almond explains: “Since the beginning of the year, we have provided help to 27 families, who work primarily in the service industry in our community.

These families literally will not have access to childcare without some level of assistance. The ripple effect

impacts local employers and businesses who depend on parents as employees.

Access to safe, reliable childcare actually effects all of us, whether you have children or not.”

EVICS depends solely on grants and donations for scholarship funding, and the organization is sending a plea to the community to help. Board Chair, Jane Stuart states: “We are inviting the community to pitch in and help, on behalf of local employees and their young children. Donations large and small are greatly appreciated and will have an immediate impact. When communities come together to support the needs of children, everyone benefits!”

Individuals, organizations, businesses and churches are all encouraged to consider donating to the EVICS scholarship fund. Donations are 100% tax deductible and eligible for the Colorado Childcare 50% Tax Credit (a $500 donation results in a $250 direct state tax credit). Donations can be made on line at: www.evics.org (click on the DONATE button), mailed to EVICS at PO Box 3373, Estes Park, CO 80517, or dropped off at the EVICS office: 1182 Graves Avenue, Unit A.

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

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

Be aware. The best thing to do at this time of year is to be very aware of your surroundings. The cows have calves all over town and you just never know when you’re going to happen to walk by a mother and calf.

Back away. If you encounter a protective mother, the best thing to do is to back away quickly. Don’t turn your back on her, as you won’t know if she is charging you. Make yourself look large.

If you have a jacket, raise it above your head, and swing it around, make yourself look formidable. Chances are the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Another important note, if you find a baby elk or mule deer, please never go near or touch it. Even though it could appear that its mother is absent, elk calves are seldom orphaned, and its mother is probably feeding only a short distance away. She’ll Photo by Jim Ward

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.

David Stirling Exhibit At Lone Tree Antiques And Fine Arts Lone Tree Antiques and Fine Art is pleased to present a summer exhibition of work by the well-known Estes Park artist David Stirling at their gallery in Eaton, Colo.

Stirling is one of the most recognized and beloved artists who lived in and portrayed Estes Park and the surrounding areas.

Born in 1887 in Corydon, Iowa, Stirling moved with his wife to Estes Park in 1916, where he remained until his death in 1971. His wife Kitty, and their children Hattie and Jack, also lived and worked in the Estes Park area.

Stirling became known for his art studio, which was initially inside Rocky Mountain National Park and later in downtown Estes. He was a local celebrity, often entertaining famous visitors to the region. Many notables from the scientific community, Hollywood elite and the music industry visited with Stirling while visiting Estes.

Lone Tree Antiques and Fine art presents a themed exhibition every summer.

The 25 original works in this collection have been made available to the public courtesy of Dave and Cheryl Schultz, custodians of the Stirling archive.

Sketches, paintings, photographs and biographical material from the collection are available to view and purchase at the gallery, located at 115-117 First Street in Eaton, now through July 31.

Regular hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Other times are also available by appointment.

Estes Park Garden Club Garden Tour 2019 Please join the Estes Park Garden Club on Monday, July 8th as we tour several local gardens. We will meet at 9:00 a.m. at the Masonic Lodge, (1820 S. St. Vrain Av). This is on Route 7 on left just past Peak View. There, we will arrange carpools and hand out maps and directions, as well as descriptions of the lovely gardens you will visit. Because of the minimal parking situations on the tour all are encouraged to carpool during the event.

On the tour this year are the gardens of Jim Conley, Jane Wilson, Bruce and Candace Kane, and Sharon and Wayne Groome. The gardens include a variety of styles, maturity, and design. The Conley garden is almost entirely natural with no intentional landscaping. Jim's goal is to create a “natural” appearance using a mixture of rock, native and non-native plants. Unique features in the yard are three cactus/xeric gardens with a large collection of cacti.

The Wilson garden is a mature garden which has recently undergone a renovation to balance the ever-encroaching wildlife that we love, with a passion for flowers and gardening. The Kane garden

is a large garden never the same, as it includes a variety of ever-changing flowers and trees. Melding a love for animals with gardening, the garden represents a lush and colorful oasis for the bird world and adjacent duck area. The Groome garden is fenced against intrusion and has a mature profusion of flowering plants that thrive in our mountain climate with Sharon’s care. She has sitting areas throughout her gardens as well as areas to contemplate the beauty of her surroundings. Bring your own lunch to our picnic at the Groomes, the last garden on the tour. Beverages and sweet snacks will be provided by hosts Kathy Semerad and Sharron Moran. Tour coordinators are Sharon Groome and Maureen Gootz.

The tour is free to Garden Club members and a nominal $5 fee is requested from tour participants who are not Garden Club members yet. A lifetime membership is available. Please wear comfortable shoes as the footing is not stable at most of the gardens. A hat, sunscreen, extra water, and a brown bag lunch is all that is needed for a lovely tour! We look forward to seeing you.

Since its start, tens of millions of people have seen the B-17, B-24, B-25, P-40 & P-51 display at locations everywhere. The Wings of Freedom Tour is one of the most extraordinary and unique interactive traveling historical displays of its kind.

The Wings of Freedom Tour travels the nation as a flying tribute to the flight crews who flew them, the ground crews

who maintained them, the workers who built them, the soldiers, sailors and airmen they helped protect; and the citizens and families that share the freedom that they helped preserve. The B-17, B25 & B-24 were the backbone of the American effort during the war from 1942 to 1945 and were famous for their ability to sustain damage and still accomplish the mission. Despite the risks of anti-aircraft fire, attacking enemy fighters, and the harrowing environment of sub-zero temperatures, many B-17s and B-24s safely brought their crews home. The P-51 Mustang was affectionately known as the bombers “Little Friend” – saving countless crews from attacking axis fighters. After the war, many aircraft were scrapped for their raw aluminum to rebuild a nation in post-war prosperity and therefore very few were spared. The rarity of the B-17, B-25, B-24, P-40 & P-51 - and their importance to telling the story of WWII is why the Collings Foundation continues to fly and display the aircraft nationwide.

At each location we encourage local veterans and their families to visit and share their experiences and stories with the public. For aviation enthusiasts, the tour provides opportunity for the museum to come to the visitor and not the other way around! Visitors can find out more by visiting our website at www.collingsfoundation.org.

He will explore these questions in the context of end-ofterm Court decisions involving the census, gerrymandering, the Peace Corps and other significant constitutional issues.

Reliance Fire Museum Open House Saturday, July 13

The Reliance Fire Museum will host an Open House on Saturday, July 13 from 9 a.m. to noon.

The Reliance Fire Museum is a gently guarded secret in the Estes Park community, out of sight of most curious eyes. It is the place where old fire engines come to get a breath of new life, as they are restored to new condition for their owners: collectors, cities, museums and fire fighter associations. It is also a place that a fine collection of old trucks now make their permanent homes.

Founded in 1994 by Douglas Klink Jr., the museum continues under his direction today, showcasing symbols of America's firefighting efforts from the last century. Each piece of apparatus carries with it a colorful history that reveals a designers dream, a firefighter’s tireless work and a community’s pride. Those elements are brought to life during museum tours.

The 12,000 square foot museum building contains various pieces of apparatus, and several static displays of one-of-akind and retired firefighting artifacts.

The Reliance Fire Museum collection of American firefighting pieces offers you a glimpse into the evolution of technology as you browse over 100 years of advances- beginning with their 1901 Waterous Steam Pumper (that still pumps).

Most of their apparatus can be started and pumped on any given day. In fact, their 1967 Snorkel was called out of retirement in 2009 to assist the local volunteer fire department during a multidepartment effort to control a 20,000 square foot shopping mall fire.

It's not uncommon to see a Reliance truck cruising through downtown Estes Park as their volunteers exercise the engines and keep them in operating condition.

When you visit the Reliance Fire Museum, you'll have a chance to see some antique trucks in the process of being restored. They are fortunate to have a full service restoration shop in the museum.

Their guided tours take you into the restoration shop where you might see the inside of an Ahrens Fox engine block, or the belly of an American LaFrance being painted (restoration shop is not accessible to self-guided tours).

At Reliance Fire Museum they have preserved many of the techniques used in the original construction of older apparatus. These include gold leaf decoration and striping, spinning of metal pieces such as steamer crowns, and rebuilding of engine and pumps with leather seals and/or rubber valves. artist. Appetizers paired with wine from When you visit, you'll see, smell and Snowy Peaks Winery. 380 West Riverside feel the power of the fire engine, as they Drive in Piccadilly Square right next to originally served your metropolitan and Rock Cut Brewing Company. rural communities.

The Reliance Fire Museum is a 501(c)3 not for profit corporation and tax deductible donations are accepted- and are an important source of funding for museum operations.

This will be the only open house during the summer of 2019. Check their Facebook page for up to date information and to see photos of current projects. Public tours are free of charge. Donations to help operate the museum are always welcome, but not required. Reliance Fire Museum is located at 460 Elm Road, and to get there from downtown Estes Park, head West on Moraine Ave. to Elm Road.

Take a right on Elm Road and follow it about 3/4 mile to the museum, on the right. Call 970-577-1953 or visit reliancefiremuseum.org for more information.

Colorado Springs Elvis Tribute Artist Aaron Black

Aaron Black owes his entire Elvis career to two pitchers of beer and a karaoke contest! He won 1st place singing Blue Suede Shoes at an Air Force Base Club and then entered an Air Force Tops-in-Blue Talent Contest a few weeks later. He won 1st place in that too, the first of six awards he has won! Aaron has been performing his Elvis Tribute for 29 years (He has now been performing as Elvis longer than Elvis performed as Elvis!!) and has won several awards for his show. He is an avid fan, memorabilia collector and is an expert on the Elvis Presley story. The five Elvis suits that he currently wears are authentic $3,000-$4,000 recreations of Elvis' most famous suits, including the Aloha Eagle Jumpsuit worn in the Aloha From Hawaii TV concert! These suits are created by some of the same people who created Elvis’ original suits and are actually licensed by Elvis’ estate.

A highlight of his full show is “Instant Elvis,” where an audience member gets dressed as Elvis and they sing a duet together! Aaron always mixes a little humor and Elvis trivia into every hip-shaking show.

Aaron is often asked if he is lip-syncing, but it really is him singing. He has even performed for two people who knew the real Elvis and both gave him high marks!

Aaron has always been an Elvis fan. As a child, he saw Elvis perform live six times.

He even met his future wife the day after Elvis died when she asked him about the black armband he was wearing. They were married a few years later and she now sings backup in his show!

Aaron served on submarines in the Navy and was also an Air Force Intelligence Officer and still teaches space operations for the Air Force at Peterson AFB. Face Vocal Band Face Vocal Band has been captivating

Speaker From Jerusalem Talks About An Alliance To Reinforce Israel's Security And Economy

By Don Darling It was Jerusalem during a trip in 2014 when I first met Calev Myers, he was one of those guys that makes you feel special right off the bat. Over the years our friendship has grown and now Estes Park has the privilege to hear Calev and his brother Shimon speak on Tuesday evening at the Fireside room at Mountain View Bible Fellowship. The main topic of the evening will be information about a nonprofit organization, founded

by Calev called ARISE (Alliance to Reinforce Israel's Security and Economy).

“All too often you and I awaken to headlines of an anti-sematic attack on a Jewish community somewhere in the world, or a multinational corporation which has decided to boycott products from Israel” says Calev. He continues “ARISE's primary mission is to motivate, activate and leverage existing networks of people around the world who are predisposed to supporting both Israelis and Palestinians and creating solutions which improve the quality of life for both peoples on both sides of the conflict; people who share our belief that all human beings were created in the image of their Creator”.

Calev is an Israeli Lawyer, author and civil rights activist. In 2016 Calev published “Crucial Alliance-African Americans, Jews and the Middle East Conundrum” which depicts the struggle of the African American and Jewish communities against racism, bigotry and terrorism, how they have helped each other overcome these challenges and why the alliance between the communities is more crucial today than ever. Calev has contributed op-eds to the Times of Israel website, the Walla News website and has appeared on Israeli television programs

in English and Hebrew as a current events analyst from a human rights perspective. He has also been interviewed on CNN and I24 News. In 2004 Calev founded the Jerusalem Institute of Justice (JIJ), a human rights group active in Israel and surrounding territories and has presented reports on their behalf before governmental bodies including the European Parliament, the Finnish Parliament, the Swedish Parliament and the French Parliament as well as universities such as Oxford University, Toronto University, York University, Helsinki University, San Jose State University, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, MIT, University of Denver, Uppsala University and Tilburg University. (Wikipedia) This event will take place Tuesday, July 9th, 7 p.m. at Mountain View Bible Fellowship, Fireside Room 1574 South Saint Vrain Ave. There is no charge for the event and it's open to the public, we are grateful for the hospitality of Mountain View Bible Fellowship

Senate Candidate John Walsh In Estes Park This Sunday, July 7 U. S. Senate Candidate John Walsh will be in Estes Park on Sunday afternoon, July 7, from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. at the Estes Valley Library’s Hondius Room. This meet-and-greet for John is open to the public and hosted by the Estes Valley Democrats.

John is a Democratic candidate for the U. S. Senate seat currently held by Senator Cory Gardner. Having served as our U. S. Attorney for the District of Colorado, John’s legal and community-oriented background has prepared him for protecting the interests of all Coloradans.

John was appointed to the U. S. Attorney position in 2010 by President Obama, and was unanimously confirmed by the U. S. Senate. From 2010 through August 2016, John oversaw a team of nearly 200 Assistant U. S. Attorneys and staff, and was very successful in standing up for the rights of Coloradans and against special interests. Examples of accomplishments during his tenure as our U. S. Attorney include winning the largest settlement in Colorado history against Citibank for fraudulent activities, and the successful prosecution of GlaxoSmithKline that resulted in the largest healthcare fraud fine in our history.

John also has dealt first-hand with the human toll caused by gun violence. As U. S. Attorney, he led the federal response to the Aurora theatre shooting in 2012 and the Colorado Springs Planned Parent-

hood shooting in 2015.

After leaving his position as U. S. Attorney, John joined the WilmerHale law firm in 2017, leading their litigation practice. In early 2019, the Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network awarded John and a team of WilmerHale attorneys RMIAN’s 2019 Pro Bono Service Award for their humanitarian legal work in representing immigrant parents and children separated at the U. S.-Mexico border.

John grew up in Colorado, and attended public schools in Denver. He was an exchange student to Mexico at age 13, becoming fluent in Spanish. John received his law degree from Stanford, graduating with honors near the top of his class and serving as senior editor of the Stanford Law Review. Besides his legal accomplishments, John has been heavily involved in giving back to the community through starting a Denver non-profit, “Invest in Kids,” dedicated to helping lift youths out of poverty through education and health care.

John, his wife Lisa, and their three children share a love for the Colorado outdoors and a commitment to preserving our fragile environment. Please meet this impressive candidate in person on July 7. For more information, you may email Vicky Henry, Democratic PCP Coordinator, at DemsVHenry@yahoo.com.

Get Ready For The Estes Park 2019 Rooftop Rodeo. It’s The Rodeo with Altitude!

The Rooftop Rodeo has a very exciting 2019 lined up! In addition to last year’s awards, the Rooftop Rodeo has won the PRCA's Rodeo of the Year five times and the Western Pro Rodeo Association’s Rodeo of the Year in 2017 along with numerous PRCA Mountain States Circuit awards. Estes Park Western Heritage

provides "boots on the ground" working with the Town of Estes Park to produce the award-winning Rooftop Rodeo each year.

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

Attendees can also buy tickets to attend our “Behind the Chutes” tours. Behind the Chutes is your chance to venture out to where all the action happens.

You’ll meet the stock contractor, contestants and arena crew who will explain the sport of rodeo. Get an up close and personal tour of the arena equipment,

participate in some mock events, see the livestock and meet the clowns. It’s a great time to ask questions and learn more about the sport of rodeo from the pros themselves.

Each night of the rodeo, 10 lucky cowboys and cowgirls will have a chance to compete in the exciting sport of Mutton Bustin. While six spots for each night have already been filled by preregistered contestants, kids between the ages of 5-8 (and under 55 pounds) can enter a lottery for the remaining four spots each night by signing up at the Mutton Bustin table between 5-6 p.m.

We are also excited to announce that we be a part of WPRA’s Barrel Racing Tour this year (only 60 of 620 rodeos are invited) and will be offering three nights of "after rodeo" competitions! This will also be our fifth year of working with PRCA Hall of Fame stock contractor Cervi Championship Rodeo. Cervi

brings world-class stock and a fast-paced production to the Rooftop. We have gone from a high water mark in 2014 of 475 contestants to almost 800 last year, and we had a record payout to contestants of almost $174,000 in prize money!

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

want to take advantage of the hospitality room where you can rub elbows with the cowboys and enjoy a catered meal from a local restaurant. While watching the rodeo events, you’ll be taken care of by a designated bartender, providing you with drinks at no extra charge. Sip on a cold one around a tall boy table while the sun sets at your back and the action unfolds in front of you!

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

My name is Matthew Argo. For my Eagle Scout Project, I will be adding an extension to the Glen Haven Area Volunteer Fire House #2, which will minimize response time in case of a fire and/or medical emergency.

A vehicle that will fight wildfire and structure fires will be housed in this new addition and will greatly reduce the amount of time for firefighters to respond to a call. It is necessary to house vehicles so that the water tanks used to fight fires do not freeze, and vehicles are constantly charged for use at any time.

Why did I decide to do my project in Glen Haven? My great, great, great grandfather W. S. Rudolph was one of the original members and promoters of the Glen Haven Association. His cabin still stands and is still owned by the family. Also, my grandparents purchased land in Glen Haven and in 2006 built the house they presently live in.

I feel that since the Glen Haven Area Volunteer Fire Department (GHAVFD) is a volunteer fire department and all

their money comes from fundraising and grants, that I can make a difference in this community by giving back to an area that I feel is special. I want others, as well as future generations, to enjoy

what makes Glen Haven what it is.

The community of Glen Haven is neither a municipality nor a taxing district, and the GHAVFD is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit Colorado corporation. The cost of this project will run between $16,000 and $20,000, and will be funded completely through donations and fundraising events. Please consider making a donation, to help me build this extension, to GHAVFD, P.O. Box 53, Glen Haven, CO 80532 and put in the memo line Eagle Scout Project.

Gypsy Jazz Coming To Estes Park August 4

Thanks To The League of Women Voters Thanks again to the League of Women Voters for stepping up and offering a voter forum for the purpose of educating the voters of Estes Park on an upcoming election.

In this instance, the election will be a recall election for Trustee Cody Walker.

He is accused of failing to recuse himself on a vote that benefits him financially.

He also failed to inform his fellow trustees that he stood to benefit on a “yes” vote on the issue.

One would think that Trustee Walker would welcome an opportunity to engage in discourse around these accusations, but he has indicated that he does not intend to participate, as he is not a “candidate” even though the League has offered to change the date of the forum to accommodate his schedule.

Regardless of how Trustee Walker

chooses to characterize the League’s Forum, he will in fact be on the ballot August 20th along with Eric Blackhurst. To refuse to participate in the League’s voter forum shows contempt for the voters of Estes Park that is unworthy of an elected official.

I, for one, am proud to be a member of the League of Women Voters of Estes Park and applaud their continuing efforts on behalf of Democracy and the citizens of Estes Park. It is never wrong to provide information and educate voters on all issues. I will be attending the voter forum on July 24th, as Mr Blackhurst has accepted the League’s invitation to answer questions from the voters and I look forward to hearing what he has to say.

Respectfully, Ann Finley

Estes Park German-American Club The Club was formed in late 2008 and currently meets the second Tuesday (2:00 p.m.) of every month at Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church for a good cup of coffee, sweets and chatting. We are looking forward to meeting more people who embrace the German cul-

The Old Gallery In Allenspark Is Big On Art Allenspark may be a small mountain community, but it’s definitely big on artespecially at The Old Gallery, a center for community, the arts and visitors. Located on Highway 7 across from the entrance to Allenspark, The Old Gallery is home to more than 20 regional and nationally acclaimed artists who work in a variety of media, including oils, acrylics, glass, wood, copper and more. Plus, in July it will present the Passion Works Art Show featuring works by artists with developmental differences.

The 1940s style log structure was renovated five years ago, thanks to the financial support of individual donors, grants and fundraising efforts. “It’s absolutely stunning on the inside and is a beautiful space to showcase art by these talented artists,” said Vicki Dyas, gourd artist and jewelry designer and chair of The Old Gallery Artists. She’s been involved with The Old Gallery since 2008, when members of the community banded together to buy the building, which had housed an ATV Rental company, art gallery, grocery store and postal service mechanics shop.

Six new artists joined The Old Gallery this year, including Kathy Banich, photography; Amy Ellis, ceramics, mixed media; Leslie Emerson, jewelry, mixed media; Jake Gooters, stained glass; Elizabeth Hake, jewelry; Elizabeth Lazarus, pottery, Vicki Dyas, gourd art, jewelry and Lydia Pottoff, fine art, pastels and oils.

On Friday, July 19-Sunday, July 21 The Old Gallery is proud to present the Passion Works Art Show, featuring the works of Passion Works Studio in Athens, Ohio at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.

Passion Works Studio is a core group of practicing professional artists with developmental differences. “Historically, these people were perceived as unemployable non-viable citizens but today are creating visual evidence of the depth and wealth of the creative human spirit,” said Passion Works Studio Program Director Nancy Epling. “When offered a

responsive structure, quality materials and welcoming space the artists reciprocate with wildly imaginative, beautiful creations that are fresh and approachable.

Two artists from Passion Works will travel to The Old Gallery: Troy Goins and Freddie Cremeans. “Troy has a distinct artistic style and creates pet portraits for commission at Passion Works Studio. He’s been involved with the studio for 10 years and also assists customers,” said Epling.

“Freddie has been developing his artistic style for more than 20 years and has been a part of Passion Works Studio since 1998,” she continued.

“Passion Works Studio is dedicated to demonstrating the power of the human spirit and providing opportunities for artists with developmental difference,” said Epling. “We’re thrilled that The Old Gallery has invited our artists to share their art in this beautiful mountain gallery.”

Other resident artists at The Old Gallery include Anne Curtis, pottery; Patty Dwyer, oils and pastels, Lyn E. Ferguson, photography; Connie Garcia, jewelry, Terry Kasprazak, watercolor, drawing and photography; Weldon Lee, photography; Cheryl Pennington, photography and hand tinting; Russell Shamah, wood; Hannah Shook, oils; Jim Upchurch, copper; Sally Van Der Kamp, stained glass, fused glass and jewelry; Dawn Wilson, photography and Merrie Wicks, watercolor and oils.

The Old Gallery is located at 14863 Hwy. 7 in Allenspark. It also provides entertainment, educational lectures, classes and social services to the Peak to Peak mountain communities. Through mid-October, a Rocky Mountain Nature Conservancy store also operates at The Old Gallery. For a complete list of events, visit www.theoldgallery.org.

The Old Gallery is only 20 minutes from Estes Park and Lyons. Daily hours of operation are 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. It is also available for private events, weddings and celebrations.

This July, It’s Game On with EVRPD Summer is here, which means it’s time to get your game on. This July, discover the power of play with Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVRPD) as we celebrate Park and Recreation Month. A variety of fun activities are planned for residents of all ages and abilities—including a dive-in movie at the Estes Valley Community Center, Ice Cream Day, free family and social events, and a photo contest.

EVRPD is celebrating Park and Recreation Month, an initiative started by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) in 1985, and all the ways parks and recreation has the power to transform our daily lives. From providing us places to play, get fit and stay healthy to fostering new relationships and forging a connection with nature, our close-to-home community park and recreation facilities provide essential services and improve the quality of life for residents and visitors of Estes Park.

“Estes Park is a mecca for recreation any time of the year,” said Tom Carosello, Executive Director for Estes

Valley Recreation and Park District.

“But summertime is especially busy in Estes Park. We are thrilled that we can provide such a variety of recreation opportunities while having a positive impact on the community.”

EVRPD will celebrate Park and Recreation Month with activities throughout the month on the mild side of recreation. In addition to the activities we will coordinate, EVRPD has a complete list of ideas for daily outdoor recreation on our website, including a kayak ride on Lake Estes, a bike ride along the Lake Estes Trail, and a picnic at Cherokee Draw.

For the first week of the month, we will launch the activities with the weekly photo contest starting off with a Fourth of July theme.

This contest is a great way to show off your talents while helping EVRPD celebrate the month and encouraging people to show how they play around Estes Park. A winner will be selected for each theme from each week’s submissions. One overall grand prize winner will receive a 20-punch pass to the new Estes Valley Community Center and their winning photo will hang in the Estes Valley Community Center for 2020. Visit www.evrpd.com/parkandrecmonth for more information about how to partici-

pate. Entries can be submitted via the hashtag #PlayOnEstesPark on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/evrpd.

In addition to the photo contest, the first week also features the recommendation of working out with a personal trainer. It is a great week to keep or get your fitness regimen going with our semi-annual personal training sale.

Check out info about our trainers and the package options at evrpd.com/personal-training.

Newberys Are Proof: Kids’ Books Aren’t Just For Kids

by Cheryl Homan-Wendell, Literary Services Librarian C.S. Lewis said it well: “No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally—and often far more—worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond.”

Children’s literature is an unknown or forgotten world for adult readers. We grown-ups may be of the belief that to walk through that Children’s Room door and explore the likes of Rowling, Silverstein, or Dahl is, if not beneath us, at the least, no longer worth the time.

Back in 1922, the American Library Association began the tradition of awarding the annual John Newbery Medal to the author “of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children.” For an author to win the Newbery Medal, they have shown quality and creativity in their writing.

Their literary work is worthy of recognition. Many of us remember our own encounters with some of their books, such as E.B. White’s “Charlotte’s Web” or Gary Paulsen’s “Hatchet”. Books that shaped our outlook of the world, or expanded our imaginations.

One such book is “When You Reach Me” by Rebecca Stead. The Library has a limited supply of this 2010 Newbery winner for middle schoolers at the firstfloor service desk. It’s a story about an

ordinary sixth-grade girl who starts to receive mysterious messages from someone who knows all about her, including things that have not happened yet. Part sci-fi, part mystery, it’s hard to put down.

Middle schoolers are invited to a book discussion on Thursday, July 11 at 7 pm, with snacks and refreshments provided.

While this program is geared toward young readers, the Library also has a copy of “When You Reach Me” in the Juvenile Fiction collection. And there’s no age limit for borrowing it.

Those books you immersed yourself in when you were a youngster are still there, and they have been joined by many more! They provide us with tangible evidence that there is an enduring quality and creativity shaping young minds today, and they’re available to all who have a Library Card.

Book club opportunities at the Library span all ages. We host book discussion programs specifically for adults, high schoolers, middle schoolers, and grade schoolers alike. Even the 0 to 6 age group takes home a book to keep and read with their family.

Two things are for sure: Book clubs aren’t just for adults—and kids’ books aren’t just for kids. New literary discoveries—alongside those long-lost favorites of yours—all await you at the Library.

Wyatt, Sancho, & Ollie Are Looking For New Homes!

Wyatt is about 10 years old and weighs eight pounds. He is friendly, social, playful and house trained. He is very sweet and loves people and other dogs. He will make a great companion. He is in foster care but you can call Dr. C's Animal Hospital of the Rockies at (970) 586-4703 to make an appointment to meet him.

Canoeing In The Northwest Territories and Nunavut “Our Wonderful World” continues its 13th season of armchair travel-adventures this Tuesday, July 9 with a presentation by Don Cleason on a canoeing excursion into Canada’s Northwest Territories and Nunavut. The free program takes place at 7 p.m. at this year’s 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.

Canoes have been used to traverse the Arctic for thousands of years. Canada’s Nunavut is an enormous area, blanketed in snow and ice most of the year.

Though the region is sparsely populated, it is legendary for its dog sledding, Inuit throat singing, and “country food” like caribou stew. Visitors also marvel at its wildlife: herds of muskoxen, plus wolverines, moose, and grizzlies, scattered amidst a tundra of valleys and white sandstone cliffs.

A self-described river rat and outdoor

enthusiast, Don Cleason has lived in Colorado since 1982. His journeys have taken him down many rivers and along many hiking trails. In the summer of 2017, he was the assistant guide on a 300-mile trip down the Coppermine River, located in Canada’s Northwest Territories and Nunavut, and which feeds into the Arctic Ocean. The unofficial research expedition consisted of six current and previous student colleagues, along with their professor and head guide. Cleason will recount the highlights of this trip and share images from the journey.

Attendees are encouraged to register in advance at estesvalleylibrary.org.

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.

Association of Estes Park, a non-profit 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).

Gregory James Rosa

William Roland Devine William Roland Devine, 60, passed away suddenly in his home, on the morning of June 28th, 2019. William, known to friends and family as Bill, was born on October 14th, 1958, in Tampa, FL. William spent most of his adolescence in both Florida and Michigan, graduating from Harry Hill High School in Lansing, MI, before moving to Colorado, where he would spend the rest of his life.

William was an avid sports player in his younger years, and a fan when his playing years were over. Growing up, he played baseball and basketball, but when he began fading into adulthood, he found the one sport that would become his whole life. His favorite sport to play, watch, and even coach, was softball. Before he became a coach, Bill played in a slow pitch softball league with all of his good friends, and he always loved to reminisce about the “good ol’ days” on the field. When his kids were old enough to start playing however, he hung up his bat, and put on his coaching gear. He coached both of his daughters from their recreational leagues, to competitive, and even when they were in high school. It was the one thing that made Bill the happiest he could’ve ever been, just being able to spend so much time with his family, doing what he loved most.

William worked for the same company for most of his adult life, and he was great at his job. Most of the time, when someone walked into any of the

Napa Auto Parts stores William worked in, they would ask for him directly or wait until he was ready to help them. His loved ones believe it was his kind nature and his goofy attitude that kept people coming back. Bill spent the last decade or so working for the Napa Auto Parts in Milliken, CO, and he very rarely missed a day of work. Ask anyone he worked with, and they would tell you that he was one of the most hard working people they knew, and even on the hardest days, he always had a good attitude and a smile on his face.

William is survived by his three beautiful children, Morgan Devine, 24, Erinn Devine, 21, and Matthew Devine, 19, three of his four siblings, Mary Gooch (husband Allan), Dave Devine (wife Lisa), and Rick Devine (wife Colleen), his grandchildren, Ryder and Saylor Brady, many nieces and nephews, as well as great nieces and nephews, and other family and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, as well as his older sister Debbie Devine.

William will always be remembered as a shining light in many lives, whether it be his family, or old friends. He was very loved throughout his life, and will continue to be loved and missed dearly by those who knew him.

A celebration of his life will be held at the convenience of his family.

Gregory James Rosa, 32, of Houston, Texas, died on Saturday, June 15, 2019 near Beaumont, Texas. He was the owner of GRX Commercial Laundry and Macario Garcia Washateria in Houston, Texas.

Ask the Expert— Know Your Funeral Arranger Bill Smith, General Manager,

Allnutt Funeral Service - Estes Park Chapel

Q: What should I expect from my funeral arranger?

A: A funeral

Jon McIntyre Jon Jeffry McIntyre, 65, passed away at his home in Fort Collins on April 13, 2019.

Jon was born May 9 1953 in Peoria Illinois to Doctor Herald (Doc) McIntyre and Virginia McIntyre. The family moved to Allenspark in 1965 and Jon attended school at the Allenspark School House and then in Estes Park, graduating in 1972. He then studied at the Colorado Mountain College and Aims Community College.

Jon had the benefit of working in many interesting fields in his career ranging from ski lift operator, surveyor, photographer - taking pictures of rafters on the west slope, and maintenance engineer at McMurdo Station

in Antarctica for ten years.

He was also a gifted musician specializing in slide blues guitar. Jon is remembered by most for his outrageous sense of humor and thirst for adventure.

Jon is survived by his close friend Tim Weaver of Fort Collins; his sister Kimberley Reinhold (John) of Sun City West, AZ; his brother Todd McIntyre of Fort Collins; five nieces, two great nieces; and five great nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Linda.

Jon will be remembered at a celebration of life and blues jam concert at Meeker Park Lodge Rec Hall Saturday, July 27, from 12 noon to 4 p.m.

and Lynn Rosa of Estes Park, Colorado, his brother, Jeffrey Rosa, and sister-in-law Suzi Shapira, of Los Angeles, California, and his grandparents, A.C. and Betty Moore of Amarillo, Texas. He is also survived by his uncle and aunt Craig and Vicki Bryan of Amarillo, his cousin Erica Patterson and husband Ryan of Dallas, Texas, and a cousin Elissa Mitchell and husband Merritt, currently in Seoul, Korea. He leaves behind a beloved girlfriend, Jessica Mercado of Houston and her family of Katy, Texas, as well as many treasured friends.

Friends are invited to visit with the family from two until five o’clock with a celebration of Greg’s life at three o’clock in the afternoon on Sunday, July 14 at Bradshaw-Carter Memorial and Funeral Services at 1734 W. Alabama St. in Houston, Texas. Memorials may be made to Red Collar Rescue of Houston or a charity of your choice.

Greg’s family and Jessica would like to express their sincere thanks to the mentors, coworkers, employees, customers and friends who have encouraged and supported Greg throughout his life, and whom he loved in return.

arranger should care for and guide your family as if you were part of their own. He or she is a caring professional who will be by your side every step of the way to help you understand the options that are available to you, choose what will work best for you and your loved ones and carry out your wishes by coordinating every detail of a meaningful nal tribute.

You should expect your funeral arranger to be knowledgeable, compassionate and responsible and one who will help you celebrate a special life.

Q: But don’t all funeral arrangers do the same thing?

A: On the surface, it may seem that

all funeral arrangers are the same, but it’s important to remember that it’s not just what they do but how they do it that sets a funeral professional apart. The loss of a loved one is one of the most dif cult experiences in

life. Your funeral arranger should strive to provide you and your family with a superior customer experience during what can be a stressful process so that you can focus on honoring the memory of your loved one. Your funeral arranger should be communicative and respectful of your time and wishes, and your arranger should act immediately on anything you think he or she could do better during or after the service.

If you have additional questions, visit your local licensed funeral provider.

They are a good source of information for funeral, cremation and cemetery options.
