Help The Town Set Goals And Priorities By Reviewing The 2020 Draft Strategic Plan The Town government has many responsibilities and roles in a community.

It’s easy to lose focus and try to be all things to all people. Add to this the fact that we have limited resources and staff to get things accomplished. In order to focus our efforts on what the community needs most, the Town Board has a strategic planning process to set priorities and goals for your Town government. The Board sets goals and objectives in its Strategic Plan annually, based on community needs as they understand them, from information and comments they receive from citizens and staff. It’s fluid and adaptable, able to change as community needs change over time. Please read on to learn how to provide your feedback on the draft 2020 plan.

It’s important that the Town Board and staff monitor how we are progressing on the strategic outcomes, goals and objectives on regular basis. This spring, the Town Board has had several meetings to update the strategic plan for 2020. The Board’s Strategic Plan includes the Mission and Vision of the Town government, and the remainder is centered around nine key outcome areas.

Town Financial Health Outstanding Community Services In each key outcome Area, the Board has identified goals to be accomplished within two to seven years and objectives to be accomplished in 2020. One new addition to the Strategic Plan is the inclusion of strategic policy statements. These statements clarify the Board’s position on each key outcome area. Also included in the plan are the capital projects from the adopted Capital Improvement Plan that are scheduled for implementation in 2020.

The Strategic Plan is used by staff to prioritize programs and allocate resources, and to develop the Town Budget. By having a specific plan, we are able to focus our efforts in the areas your elected representatives have identified as priorities.

Town department directors regularly review the progress on all the items in the Strategic Plan and the Town Administrator reports back to the Board with status updates on a quarterly basis. Sometimes conditions may change, requiring the Board to modify its plan, but for the most part, it is the roadmap for all Town services and programs.

A few of the highlights in the draft 2020 Strategic Plan include: Determine the strategic direction, financial options and leadership responsibility for implementation of the Downtown Plan.

Kids Of All Ages Will Enjoy Estes Park's New Sensory Garden

Visit the newest feature of George Hix Riverside Plaza The Town of Estes Park's Parks Division is pleased to announce the installation of a new Sensory Garden at George Hix Riverside Plaza. A sensory garden is designed with the purpose of stimulating the senses through plants and the use of materials that engage sight, smell, touch, taste and sound.

The new garden includes three "flower" musical instruments, one multi-colored xylophone, two bridges over a river made of glass, five brightly colored pots filled with plants that evoke thoughts of pineapple and mint, and hundreds of plants directed at all senses.

Parks Supervisor Brian Berg commented, "I couldn't be prouder of the

Rocky Mountain National Park Third Most Visited National Park Plan Ahead For A More Enjoyable Visit In 2018, Rocky Mountain National Park was the third most visited national park with over 4.5 million visitors. This visitation represents a nearly 42 percent increase since 2012. Over the last 100 years, the reasons people visit are the same; to experience nature, to seek solitude, to enjoy scenic grandeur, to watch wildlife, and to partake in outstanding recreational activities.

Popularity and high visitation during the summer and fall, particularly during 10 a. m. to 3 p. m. can mean full parking lots, congested roads, busy trails, and long lines and wait times at entrance stations. Park managers continue to address what effect this level of visitation is having on visitor and staff safety, resource protection, visitor experiences and operational capacity. Park staff restrict vehicle access in three specific areas, the Bear Lake Road corridor, the Wild Basin area, and Alpine Visitor Center when parking areas fill and heavy congestion warrants. These restrictions occur most days in July and August, in addition to weekends in June and September. Bear Lake Road restrictions and Wild Basin Road restrictions often begin by 9:30 a.m.

Plan ahead for a more enjoyable visit to Rocky!

• Hike early or hike late.

• Check the weather forecast before you arrive at the national park to better plan your day and destinations. If you plan to hike later in the day, it is critical that you know the weather forecast for the elevation of your destination, particularly to avoid lightning and thunderstorms.

• Carpool • Take advantage of the park shuttle: www.nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/shuttle_bus_route.htm

Kris Hazelton/EPNEWS

• Trailhead parking lots fill early in the day: § Glacier Gorge Trailhead by 6:00 a.m. § Bear Lake Trailhead by 8:00 a.m. § Park and Ride by 9:15 a.m. § Wild Basin Corridor by 9:30 a.m.

• If you want to hike in the Bear Lake Road corridor and plan to arrive after 9:30 a.m., your best option, and on many days your only option, will be to take the Hiker Shuttle from the Estes Park Visitor Center. This shuttle runs every 30 minutes from the Estes Park Visitor Center to the Park & Ride on Bear Lake Road. Expect wait times to board the shuttles. An entrance pass is required to use The Hiker Shuttle.

Please see below for how to purchase a pass online.

• The Alpine Visitor Center parking lot is often full between 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

• More than eighty percent of park visitors arrive through the east entrances of the park • Camping is popular in the park. Reserve a campsite up to six months before your visit. The two first-come, firstserved campgrounds fill up quickly.

Timber Creek Campground, located on the west side of the park, fills up last.

• In September, visitation is 50 percent higher on weekends than weekdays • Purchase a daily or weekly entrance pass online at go.nps.gov/rockyfees your email confirmation will serve as your pass and should save transaction time once you reach the park entrance station kiosk.

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

Recovery Operations Complete For Micah Tice-Missing Since November On July 5, remains believed to be those of Micah Tice were found by Rocky Mountain National Park Search and Rescue team members. On Thursday, July 4, private searchers affiliated with the Tice family, reported to park staff that they found items believed to belong to Tice below treeline in the Boulder Brook drainage. The Boulder Brook drainage was one of the areas where initial search efforts were heavily focused.

However, through the winter and spring, this area was covered in deep snow.

Due to these items being found, Rocky Mountain National Park Search and Rescue team members focused search efforts in this area the morning, of July 5, when they discovered his remains.

Rangers completed an on scene investigation and recovery operations took place.

His remains were transferred to the Larimer County Coroner’s Office. Larimer County Coroner’s office will not release positive identification until completion of an autopsy.

Background: On the afternoon of Monday, November 26, 2018, Rocky Mountain National Park staff were notified that US Air Force Prep School Academy Cadet Micah Tice was missing, and possibly within the park in the Longs Peak area. His vehicle was subsequently located at the Longs Peak trailhead.

The investigation determined that Micah Tice was likely attempting to climb Longs Peak on Saturday, November 24. On November 29, witnesses reported that they saw and talked with Micah on Saturday, November 24, between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m., just above treeline in blizzard conditions.

The two visitors indicated the weather was terrible at the Longs Peak Trailhead and that visibility and weather conditions continued to worsen. Tice was reported to be wearing a black sweatshirt, black sweatpants, a black hat, black lightweight gloves, tennis shoes and a light blue backpack. The visitors discouraged Tice from continuing to the summit due to his clothing, footwear and weather conditions. Micah had apparently not communicated his plans to anyone. · At sunrise, Tuesday, November 27, three days after he was last seen, active search efforts began in the Longs Peak area of Rocky Mountain National Park for Tice. A Colorado Air National Guard Blackhawk helicopter attempted to assist with aviation operations on Tuesday, but were curtailed due to 90+ mph winds. · Longs Peak is the park’s highest peak at 14,259 feet in elevation. In late fall through early summer, Longs Peak is an extreme ascent requiring advanced winter mountaineering skills. Conditions on November 24 in the area were severe, including significant snow accumulation, extremely high winds, blizzard conditions, and bitter cold temperatures. · Over an intensive search period, ground and aerial searchers covered an approximate 10 square mile search area. These efforts were focused on sections of the Longs Peak Trail, the East Longs Peak Trail, the Battle Mountain area, Granite Pass, Jim’s Grove, the Boulder Field, Mount Lady Washington, Chasm Lake, Peacock Pool,

the Boulder Brook drainage, the Storm Pass Trail, and the Wind River drainage.

On Sunday, December 2, the first day conditions were conducive to flying this area, search managers assigned aerial searchers from the Colorado Air National Guard to perform reconnaissance of the entire Keyhole Route to the summit of Longs Peak. · Additional military coordination included cell phone forensic analysis. The cell phone data was requested early in the investigation, and received on Thursday, November 29. Cell phone data provided broad areas of potential transactions but was vague information given the limitations of the signal in that area. These transactions were not “pings” nor texts nor phone calls. This information indicated Tice’s cell phone was picking up a signal early Sunday morning, November 25. The large, broad area referenced in the analysis was part of where search efforts were conducted. · Beginning Friday morning, December 7, through Sunday, December 9 search activities for Micah Tice were focused from the Granite Pass area to the northern lower slopes of Longs Peak, including the Wind River and Boulder Brook drainages.

On Monday, December 10, due to conducive weather conditions at high elevations on Longs Peak, teams focused their efforts on the Keyhole Route to the summit of Longs Peak as well as the Chasm Lake area, Clark’s Arrow and the Loft. On Tuesday, December 11, searchers again focused efforts in the Wind River drainage. · Searchers experienced chest deep snow, thick snow covered forests, and vast areas of dead and down trees, especially in drainages away from snow packed trails.

At higher elevations, winds scoured the landscape leaving it bare or depositing deep drifted snow. Those conditions existed from the first day of search operations and can cover or erase clues. Depending on the search area and day, team members encountered harsh winter conditions including extreme winds, low visibility, bitter wind chills, below freezing temperatures, deep snow and high avalanche danger. · The park has worked closely with the US Air Force Academy since the beginning of this incident, coordinating investigative and operational assistance, and incorporating a team from the Air Force Academy Mountaineering Club in initial search efforts. The Air Force Academy Colorado Parents’ Club coordinated efforts from numerous organizations and individuals to donate daily meals for searchers. · Also assisting Rocky Mountain National Park Search and Rescue team members has been Larimer County Search and Rescue, Rocky Mountain Rescue based in Boulder County, Colorado Air National Guard, Alpine Rescue Team, Diamond Peaks Ski Patrol, Colorado Avalanche Information Center, Grand County Search and Rescue, Douglas County Search and Rescue, Colorado Search and Rescue Association, Summit County Rescue Group Dog Team, Front Range Rescue Dogs, and FLIR Systems Inc. who volunteered their services to conduct thermal imaging of the search area.

It was NASA scientists who had found the shadow of a strange object beyond Pluto, in a cold and remote part of the Solar System. Though the scientists could detect it with telescopes, they knew very little about it. Their best hope was the New Horizons spacecraft, which

famously flew past Pluto in 2015. Knowing the spacecraft had sufficient fuel to go even farther, scientists sent it toward this mysterious object that might hold clues to the very formation of our Solar System. Grusin will offer his insights into what scientists found to help uncover a mystery.

Mike Grusin is an aerospace engineer and space enthusiast living in Boulder.

He has built spacecraft, fighting robots, haunted houses, and taught electronics and programming to kids. He has worked with numerous groups, including the Colorado Space Grant Consortium and Sparkfun Electronics. He is now helping the University of Colorado to design experiments for the International Space Station.

We are gleefully in the heaviest, hottest, longest days of summer. With these super summer days come the weighty, most colorful, juiciest fruits. The one fruit outstanding in its field, at its best right now, is the king of succulence: the watermelon.

The fruit is redder than the stripes on the American flag and sloshy with close-youreyes-and-moan-with-delight sweetness.

That reminds me of a story: My mother tells of visiting her farmer cousins in southern Illinois when she was a youngster. The Wards were hog farmers but they also grew food. Sometimes when Bob, Byrom and Jack got hot and tired sitting up on the hard tractor seat, they hopped off, picked up a big, ripe watermelon from the field and dropped it hard.

The fruit would split open to reveal a glistening red bloom of juiciness. They would scoop out the heart of the melon where it was void of seeds, bite into it like an apple, and let the juice run down their chins and elbows. Then they’d climb back up into the tractor and continue on down the row, leaving the seed-dense portion of the fruit warming in the sun. Such sweet indulgence!

(Side note: My grandfather was born in the house I grew up knowing as the “old home place” in southern Illinois. The little clapboard house gave up the ghost years ago but an ancient peach tree still stands nearby. Years ago from that tree, Mom’s cousin Bob plucked a small, pale peach that looked like it would be old and mealy and handed it to me as a sacred gift from my ancestors. I accepted it graciously and bit into the flesh. That little gem had a flavor so true I realized I’d never really tasted a peach before. It was unlike any peach I’d ever had, and it was heavenly! I saved the pits from the two peaches I ate that day, picked from the gnarly peach tree near the old home place. I’ll plant them someday and fertilize them with optimism. It’s unlikely they’ll sprout after all these years but they certainly aren’t going to grow if I don’t stick them in the ground, right?)

Back to watermelon: If Mom’s cousins were still working the watermelon field, they wouldn’t have to leave behind most of the melon laden with annoying seeds.

These days farmers in their air-condi-

tioned cabs in tractors larger than small cruise ships, navigated by GPS, grow and sell seedless watermelon. They propagate the fruit so there are no neat rows of hard, black kernels imbedded in the perfect bite of watermelon. (Which also means no seeds to spit. What fun is that?)

Seedless. That’s what the grocery store sign says anyway. Seedless watermelon. It’s a dream come true, isn’t it? Or it would be, if there were verily no seeds in a seedless watermelon. Thing is, I have yet to see a melon 100 percent void of seeds. What I have cut into is a watermelon with smaller, softer albino seeds. It’s impossible to dislodge these mutant seeds from their fruit— they’re too small and slippery to grab onto and are attached with a tiny root that won’t let go—so I’ve ended up eating them, which I can tell you does not enhance the overall watermelon consumption experience.

Supposedly watermelon seeds are good for you. They’re low in calories and high in nutrients. But I wonder how many seeds one would have to consume before reaping any nutritional benefit. I’ve eaten more than my fair share—the white ones, remember, from my seedless watermelon— and I have yet to turn into a Forrest Gump-like runner powered by seed protein and B vitamins. So far the childhood warnings I grew up hearing have gone unheeded as well: no vines have grown from my ears. At least there’s that.

If the seeds in watermelon get to be too bothersome, another melon to consider, with seeds condensed at the core of the fruit so they’re easy to scoop out with a spoon, is cantaloupe. Cantaloupe doesn’t have the romantic summertime reputation of its bigger relative, but it is sweet in its own, delicious way.

One problem, as my sister Alice reminded the family time and again when we were kids: Cantaloupe now, Dad’s got the car.

Estes Park Health Urgent Care Center Anticipated Opening is February/March 2020 You may have noticed the huge hole in the ground across from the Safeway Gas Station on Steamer Drive. That building project is the future home of Alarado Business Park. Estes Park Health will be leasing space on the first floor of the building for the new Urgent Care Center Service Line.

“Our goal at Estes Park Health is to meet the community’s health care needs for our diverse population of full-time residents, summer residents and visitors, ” states Larry Leaming, Chief Executive Officer of Estes Park Health. Estes Park Health identified that the urgent care needs in the Estes Valley are expected to grow 16% by 2022. One of the key initiatives in the Estes Park Health Strategic Plan is to develop an urgent care service line to open a greater level of access to all health care needs and create an affordable urgent care option.

Why does the Estes Valley need an Urgent Care Center?

Currently, one option for walk-in health care after Estes Park Health Physician Walk-in Clinic hours (8:00 a. m. to 5 p. m.

Monday through Friday and 8:00 a. m. to noon on Saturday) is the Estes Park Health Emergency Department. This is an expensive option for care if only urgent care is needed. Many insurance companies are not paying emergency department fees for conditions that only require urgent care. Nationally, urgent care is growing as a timely and cost-effective

health care option positioned between standard physician clinic visits and emergency care.

The Estes Park Health Emergency Department is well prepared to deal with true emergencies that involve life-threatening conditions. Urgent care is a service that is focused on delivering minor, yet urgent, care in a dedicated medical facility outside of a traditional hospital emergency department. Urgent care centers

primarily treat injuries or illnesses that require immediate care, but are not serious enough to require a visit to the emergency department. Some examples include: • Accidents and falls • Cuts that don’t involve much blood but might need stitches • Breathing difficulties, such as mild to moderate asthma • Diagnostic services, including Xrays and laboratory tests • Eye irritation and redness • Fever or flu • Minor broken bones and fractures in

fingers or toes • Moderate back problems • Severe sore throat or cough • Skin rashes and infections • Sprains and strains • Urinary tract infections • Vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration Will the building only house the Urgent Care Center?

The current plan, under construction, is for a 43,000 square foot building with approximately 14,000 square feet on the first floor. The developers, owners of several Jimmy Johns sandwich restaurants in the Longmont and Boulder area, intend to use approximately 1,800 square feet of the first floor of the project for another Jimmy Johns. Estes Park Health intends to lease the remainder of the first floor, or 12,200 square feet. The remainder of the building, both second and third floors, are in-

tended for two-story employee housing.

Of the 12,200 square feet available for rent, Estes Park Health proposes to use approximately 3,500 for the purposes of an Urgent Care Center. Another 4,000

square feet is planned for Outpatient Rehabilitation Services, relocated from the first floor of the main hospital. An additional 2,800 square feet is planned for the Specialty Physicians Clinic, also to be relocated from the main campus. The Specialty Physician Clinic space would principally become available for sub-leasing.

The remainder of the space is used for back office, supplies, staff break rooms.

Who will live in the employee housing?

The employee housing, on the second level of the Alarado Business Park, will be leased by Estes Park businesses who need living spaces for their employees. The units are either two-bed or five-bed units.

Each bedroom has its own bathroom and the business’ employees would share the common area including a living space and kitchen. These units cannot be used for anything other than workforce housing.

When will the Urgent Care Center open for business?

The proposed completion of the project is February/March 2020. The Urgent Care Center will be the first to open to the public to serve health care needs. The other services housed in the Estes Park Health leased space, will relocate after the opening of the Urgent Care Center.

Estes Park Archives Program This Saturday, July 13

First editions of Bird's and Dunraven's Estes Park-related books easily bring $1,000 each. Photo courtesy Estes Park Archives

Isabella Bird wrote ten letters to her sister in or about Estes Park between September and December 1873. These letters were ultimately published years later, initially in serial form in 1878, then compiled into a book.

The Fourth Earl of Dunraven visited the United States and Canada ten times between 1869 and 1882, and wrote one book about his 1874 trip to Estes Park and Yellowstone, first published in February 1876, a traveling journal far more casual than authoritative.

Contemporary historians would have their visits overlap, or place Dunraven in Estes Park prior to Isabella Bird, or defer to Isabella Bird's assertion that Dunraven's "associate" greeted her upon her departure from Colorado Territory, and that Dunraven and his traveling companions were behind the ruination of Estes Park.

Yet none of this is accurate, at least as relates to events actually happening on the ground in late 1873. Moreover, while Dunraven published his book within two years of his trip, Isabella Bird benefited from a six-year span between her written correspondence and their (greatly edited) appearance in her October 1879 book, allowing the treatment of history long past as prescient observation, as if she possessed the gift of seeing the sweep of Estes Park's future from an

interrupted three-month stay.

Why do we give Isabella Bird a break on deceptive reporting, while demonizing Dunraven? Join the Estes Park Archives this Saturday at 7:00 p.m. at 240 Moraine Avenue for a free lecture on Bird and Dunraven, using the latest information gathered from recently-digitized 1870s Colorado newspapers to provide another potential version of the "truth."

Ample parking should be available across this street at this time of day.

Please call 586-4889 for more details.

Fine Arts Guild Auditions For “Grace And Glorie” Auditions for the Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies’ fall play are approaching! This year’s production will be the funny and poignant, Grace and Glorie.

Set in the Blue Ridge Mountains, this two-person play charms the audience with thoughtful moments, silly antics, laughter, and tears that stay with theatergoers long after the performance. The play offers a stream of laughs and sentimental good humor, while the memorable characters share their most trying and tender moments.

Two women are needed for the cast: Grace, a feisty 90 year-old cancer patient

who prefers her mountain cottage to a hospital; and Glorie, a tense, unhappy Harvard MBA, recently transplanted to the mountains, and Grace’s hospice volunteer.

Auditions will be held in the Wasson room of the library on August 3rd from 9-11 a.m. and 2-4 p.m. Those interested should be prepared to sing a few bars from any song of your choice, keeping in mind this is not a musical. A script is available at the library for your review.

Please email director, Susan Henshaw, at circa54@gmail.com for audition material or go to www.fineartsguild.org for more information.

Fly Fish Indian Peaks Wilderness

With all the angling opportunities in Rocky Mountain National Park, it’s easy to overlook the excellent—and often less crowded—fishing just to the south in the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area (IPWA).

But Steve Schweitzer and Mike Kruise have tramped miles of trails to explore and document the fishing destinations in this area. Now Steve and Mike will present a detailed overview to Alpine Anglers and guests at their upcoming meeting, July 17th at 6:30 p.m. at the Estes Park American Legion Hall.

Their book, A Fly Fishing Guide to Colorado’s Indian Peaks Wilderness Area, is

based on the same boots-on-theground research that made Schweitzer’s earlier book, A Fly Fishing Guide to Rocky Mountain National Park, an essential handbook for many local fly casters. It details more than 100 destinations—all a short drive from Estes Park—and includes detailed trail profiles and fishing tips from the experts.

Steve Schweitzer has written for newspapers and periodicals including “The Wall Street Journal” and “Fly Fisherman Magazine.” He’s been part of the fly fishing retail and conservation industry for more than 25 years. Mike Kruise is co-owner of the Laughing Grizzly Fly Shop in Longmont and has been a professional fly-fishing guide and instructor for more than 12 years.

The meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 17th at 6:30 p.m. at the American Legion Hall, 850 North Saint Vrain Avenue in Estes Park. The public is invited, so please join us to learn about this exciting area.

Rocky Mountain Conservancy Offers A Course On Glaciers

Photo by EP News/Kris Hazelton

Join the Rocky Mountain Conservancy and Field Institute instructor, Dr. David Lindsey on July 20th for a full-day course inviting you to dive deeply into discovering the different glacial forces that carved the Fall River and Big Thompson valleys in Rocky Mountain National Park. The course will teach you how to identify some of the geological formations that signal past glacial activity in different areas of Rocky, such as striated and grooved bedrock, glacial erratics, moraines, cirques, and more. After a brief introduction at the Field Institute (1895 Fall River Road), participants will explore the lower elevations of the park before carpooling to higher glacial fea-

tures along Trail Ridge Road. Participants can expect short-distance walks on mostly flat trails throughout the course and should bring warm layers, comfortable walking shoes, and a sack lunch for the day.

Dr. Lindsey brings over 30 years of experience working for the United States Geological Survey as a research geologist/administrator and obtained a Ph. D. degree from Johns Hopkins University in 1967. Today, he is currently a scientist emeritus with the United States Geological Survey. Throughout his career, Dr. Lindsey has published many papers and geologic maps and has also produced three pamphlets for the public, all sponsored by the United States Geological Survey. He continues to share his passions about geology by speaking to groups, as well as by attending and leading field trips in many parts of Colorado and beyond.

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

Just at a time when we thought we were finally free from the negative influence of the ‘loser’ Colin Kaeperneck, whom you remember, began a movement several years ago to encourage sports stars to show disdain for the American flag by kneeling during the presentation of our National Anthem. His parents publicly distanced themselves from him, acknowledging their sadness at his actions. Few sports figures followed his lead, among those who did, including himself, several lost their careers, and the movement seemed to fade away. That is, until recently when a proposed plant to be built in Arizona for Nike unveiled a plan for a new line of athletic shoes, using patriotic colors, even a Betsy Ross’s early version of the flag, on the heel. “Don’t do it,� said Kaeperneck, “some people like me, might be offended by it!� So the Nike Company, apparently ‘cowering in fear’ dropped the shoe from their plans. Now comes the good part! The Governor, Doug Ducey, responded with: “In that case. All those incentives we offered the Nike Company to get them to build their plant here just went away. We don’t need a company in Arizona like that!�

Contrast the above spirit with that of the millions as they flocked to join in celebrations over the past week. Contrast that spirit with that of those millions of military personnel who served, who endured extreme hardships, injury, lifelong repercussions, even death, as a result of their sacrificial service. No wonder that those people who have suffered so much become angry when they observe the selfish spirit of those who want ‘what they want’ for themselves, rather than what will serve the ‘greater good’.

Listen to the comments of one such ‘warrior’, Cpl. David B. Fedorczyk: “How dare they give permission to burn our country’s flag, to those who have no morals, and think it just a rag? How dare they say ‘OK’ to those who have no pride and criticize our country, for which many fought and died? How dare they say this is their right, though for now that may be so. But when our country needs their help, where will these ‘Flag burners’ go? How dare they say it is their right, protected by ‘freedom of speech who suffered’? Tell that one to the soldiers who laid bleeding on Normandy’s beach! Tell that one to Korean vets who suffered through the cold—or our boys in Vietnam who did what they were told. Tell that to one of our sailors, and Marines, if you have the nerve. Tell that to one of our women who had the guts to serve. How dare they desecrate our colors to gain attention of our land, to bitterly disgrace our flag: for this we will not stand! How dare they think we’ll tolerate our unloyal ten percent? This county has no fence nor walls to hold its discontent.�

So then, for now, we can only hope that Mr. Kaeperneck will ‘slink back into his hole’, waiting for another chance to let his feeble voice be heard, and that another shoe company, more loyal to our nation than to one individual, will produce the shoe reaping the proper rewards for their patriotic choice. “I’m proud to be an American!� Let’s continue to show our national pride!

Tuesday's Tasting: Wine & Chocolate

Pairing wine and chocolate makes for an enjoyable combination on the palate as well as a highlight for all your pleasure centers. The aromas of both, wine and chocolate, actually dance together in a beautiful harmony as you perfect the art of tasting every delectable flavor each has to offer. Wine and chocolate actually have very similar ways of expressing their own flavor, aromas, and texture

which we will be exploring during this tasting. For instance, as you would move through the process of smelling, swirling, seeing and sipping your wine, chocolate is no different. There is actually an art to tasting chocolate. The tongue is said to have four zones: sour, salt, bitter, and sweet. We will be pairing two wines from our bottle list and Stella Rosa Black with our infamous chocolate

caramel torte cake. Add two hand crafted truffles from Robin Chocolates and Piece Love & Chocolate to experience the ultimate flavor combination.

The idea is for your entire mouth to experience all the unique flavors of the pairing, both separately and together, no questions asked. After all, it is written that "Wine brings out the secrets of the soul and chocolate doesn't ask questions, it simply understands."

Join us at Vino Giù for our 2nd Tuesday's Tasting: Wine & Chocolate pairing on July 23 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Call 970591-2528 to purchase tickets. Space is limited.

This Saturday, July 13, Cowboy Brad will be the featured performer at the 6th Annual Concert for the Cure JM benefit concert in Hyde Chapel. The concert will begin at 7:00 p.m. This performance is free and open to the public.

This free Cowboy Brad concert will include raffles, snacks prizes and more.

All proceeds will benefit Cure JM Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure for Juve-

nile Myositis.

Juvenile Myositis is a devastating and lifethreatening disease affecting more than 17,000 children. This is a rare, life-threatening autoimmune disease in which a child’s immune system attacks its own tissues and cells. JM causes muscle weakness and pain, extreme fatigue, digestive difficulties, as well as lung and heart problems.

Only two or three children in a million suffer from this awful disease.

The Cure JM Foundation is leading the fight against JM. They have raised more than $12 million for research and education, helped to establish JM research centers in Chicago, Seattle, and Washington D.C. and host research studies to determine the best treatment approaches for JM. Over 90% of all donations go directly toward funding research grants and programs.

Anderson Realty & Management Broker Makes Commitment To Excellence Abbey Pontius, RSPS, CMAS, a Broker Associate with the Estes Valley Board of Realtors has earned the Commitment to Excellence endorsement from the National Association of Realtors®. The endorsement goes to REALTORS® who have demonstrated knowledge and competency in 10 core areas of real estate practice: Client service Professional reputation Real estate law REALTOR® Code of Ethics Equal service to all (Article 10 of the Code) Advocacy of real property ownership Trust and integrity Use of technology Data privacy Areas of practice The C2EX endorsement is available only to Realtors®. It is earned through a self-directed program that enables users to assess and build on their competency in each of the core areas. Launched in November 2018, this innovative program

sets the standard for what it means to be a professional in the real estate brokerage business.

“Earning the Commitment to Excellence endorsement is a true accomplishment and an affirmation to consumers that you stand for ethics and professionalism in your work,” says 2019 NAR President John Smaby. “Advances in technology and online user experience are making our business more and more seamless, and that’s fantastic,” Smaby says, “But with new technology can come vulnerabilities.

Should You Pay Full Asking Price for Your Home?

By: Scott Thompson

So far in 2019, singlefamily homes in Estes Park are selling for 97% of listing price. During the same period last year, homes sold for 98% of asking price. The period between when a home goes on the market and it sells is called “Days on Market” (DOM). During this period in 2018, the average cumulative DOM was 118 and this year it is 114. The number of homes available for sale continues to remain less than the levels last year, but we continue to see fewer sales than last year.

Prices have increased 2.6% over last year which is less than the 9.5% increase we saw during the same time last year. So what does this mean? The market really hasn’t changed much, but these early indicators mean our market is beginning

to slow down. We won’t see the 13-16% price increases we have been seeing, but we should still expect a more modest 35% increase.

In Estes Park, 33% of the homes sold so far this year were at or above listing price. When a buyer finds their “cream puff ” home, they are ready to buy and make full-price offers. This is more common for homes under $600,000.

How does this compare to other Front Range towns?

Fort Collins = 60% Loveland= 60% Greeley = 71% Windsor = 56% You can still get a better deal in Estes Park than you can get along the Northern Front Range. But let’s keep that a secret between you and me!

Access: A Library Designed With Everyone In Mind Enter the Library, and our goal is to make you feel welcome. Whether you’re a regular or it’s your first visit, our motto is, “We’re glad you’re here! ” Happily, in our 2017 Patron Satisfaction Survey, 95% of respondents said the library made them feel welcome. That’s great, and we’re working each day to reach 100%.

A warm and friendly staff is a key ingredient. But it’s also important to design our physical spaces in ways that make you feel comfortable, confident, and empowered to access the services you need.

We regularly assess our physical spaces with those goals in mind. One of the Trustees’ top priorities is to assure accessible services for patrons with special needs.

Built in 1991, the downtown library has served us well. Facility improvements over the years have helped us address changing community needs, shifting trends in libraries, as well as compliance with today’s ADA standards.

Recent examples of that include renovating the second-floor restroom for easier wheelchair access, including a newly-added door closer, a touchless faucet, better counter height and hand rails for better grip and safety.

Throughout the building, rounded door knobs have been replaced with easier-to-grip lever handles. Directional signage around doors and entryways includes Braille lettering to better guide

patrons. And although pets are not permitted inside the library, we do welcome service animals who are designated to assist persons with disabilities.

The library’s recent website re-design was guided by ADA standards. All website users are now enjoying the faster load times and easy-to-browse calendar.

And the new colors and layouts are not only appealing but ADA-compliant as well.

We’ll continue working to assure our spaces are inviting and accessible to everyone. Yet we know some of our residents are unable to travel to the library due to physical or visual impairments.

That’s where our House Calls program comes to the rescue.

To our House Calls clients, we deliver!

For patrons eligible for this service, we work with you to identify the print books, talking books and other materials that you’d enjoy. Volunteers then arrange for delivery and pick-up of materials. To find out more, contact Gretel at 970-586-8116, extension 827.

Finally, when it comes to accessing the library, we know there’s one big topic likely on your mind: parking. It’s on our minds too. We are grateful to be working with our partners at the Town of Estes Park. Watch for announcements about Parking Outreach information sessions happening later this month.

The library doors are open so that you may find your place of comfort, purpose, and happiness.

P.E.O. Reciprocity Council Wine Tasting Tour Members of the P.E.O. Reciprocity Council invites any P.E.O. member to join us for a wine tasting tour of the Blue Mountain Vineyard in Berthoud on Thursday, July 25.

William (Bill) Devine Please come help celebrate William (Bill) Devine’s life this Saturday, July 13, 2019 at Stanley Park, in the blue pavilion.

The celebration will start at 5 p.m.

We will be serving cold cut sandwiches, and if you would like to bring a side dish of your choosing, we would appreciate it. It is also BYOD (bring your own drinks).

Please feel free to invite anyone who knew Bill and would like to come show their support.

Please wear colors! No black! And bring bats, gloves and chairs if you would like!

Dances Of Universal Peace July 20 Saturday, July 20th is fast approaching, so please mark your calendars to attend the Dances of Universal Peace at 2 o’clock at the Estes Park Yoga Center located below a restaurant and above several busy shops at 145 E. Elkhorn, #200 on the second floor.

There is an elevator if needed.

You may ask, “Why should I subject myself to busy traffic and a search for the elusive parking space, when I have a thousand other things on my “ to do” list?”

A possible answer is to find moments of peace, tranquility and connection amidst chaos and offer that peace out to all sentient beings.

We would love to see you there to welcome Britt Ripley, from Longmont, our guest leader, and Debra on drums, along with other friends.

The sweetness of finding peace and connection cannot be overlooked.

One finds the songs and movements reflecting the values from other cultures are easily learned and lead to a sense of wellness and belonging.

The dances are offered by donation; no one is denied joining in these interfaith practices with the repetition of sacred phrases and heartfelt movements. You may want to bring water to revive you after the exuberant dances; also, refrain from wearing fragrances, as some people have sensitivities.

After the dances, you are invited to come join us for dinner.

Call Linda Bensey at 970-214-7719 for additional information.
