Land Trust Breakfast Focuses On Climate Change The Estes Valley Land Trust is hosting a breakfast on Saturday, August 24 at 8 a.m. The breakfast will take place at the Salvation Army’s High Peak Camp in the Tahosa Valley.

The breakfast will focus on the potential effects of climate change in the Rocky Mountain West. Are we experiencing a warming climate and if so, what affect will it have on extreme weather such as droughts and floods? Could warmer temperatures result in longer fire seasons and catastrophic wildfire?

How will these disturbances affect our regional ecosystem?

“Our educational breakfasts allow land trust members up-close access to scientific professionals that can explain our complex Rocky Mountain environment,” said Jeffrey Boring, Executive Director of the Estes Valley Land Trust. “We’re

thrilled to have Dr. Monique Rocca, Associate Professor, Colorado State University and Jeff Lukas, Associate Scientist, University of Colorado Boulder, as our keynote speakers.”

Reservations are required by Monday, August 19 and can be made online at evlandtrust.org/RSVP, via email: evlt@evlandtrust.org or phone: 970577-6837. The hearty breakfast is $15 per person, payable at the event.

This is a member’s only event. Joining the Estes Valley Land Trust is easy at https://evlandtrust.org/donate/. Participants can also become a member at the breakfast.

The breakfast is outdoors, a rain or shine event, and attendees should bring a camp chair and wear appropriate outdoor clothing.

A FED BEAR IS A DEAD BEAR!

This his po poor bbear was trapped last week in Estes Park. It’s a sad fact that Colorado Parks and Wildlife cannot relocate “problem bears.” A “problem bear” will be killed but truth be told, there are no “problem bears” it’s on us to not let a bear become our problem. We are ultimately responsible for the lives and deaths of our bears. Human interaction is what ultimately leads to a habituated bear’s tragic end.

Will You Be Responsible For Killing A Bear?

By: Kris Hazelton Colorado Parks and Wildlife tell us that within the last 10 days, over 35 vehicles and over nine human dwellings were entered by bears in the Estes Park area. Most of these incidents involved unlocked car doors, open house windows and/or screen doors, as well as a few forced entries.

Make no mistake…perhaps the best reason to lock your doors and windows is that bears can and will invite themselves into your home.

For your safety, and the lives of our bears, PLEASE close and lock ALL windows and doors to your house and vehicles. Make it a routine to check that everything is closed up before you go to bed or leave the house for work/errands.

Some of the vehicles that were broken into were clean of any attractants (not even a crumb). This shows that some individual bears are so habituated to finding food in vehicles that they are going car to car seeing if they are unlocked, even if they don’t see or smell food!

Did you know that black bears can smell from a mile away? The tantalizing aroma of human-supplied food lures bears into residential areas. After feasting on human food, these highly intelligent animals will associate people with food. When bears become accustomed to human scent, loose their fear of humans and become dependent on human-supplied food, they have become habituated.

Habituated bears are at risk for incidental contact with humans, pets or live-

stock, vehicular collisions and often will end up dead. When contact occurs, these bears are killed for the safety of those in our community, such as the bear shown above.

Please do you part to keep bears wild. Bears are extremely smart, which means we all have to be too. Sometimes it’s literally as easy as a push of a button or flick of a lock that can save the life of a bear.

How you can SAVE a bear!

Over 90% of human-bear conflicts may be eliminated by securing bear attractants • Use only bear resistant trash containers. If a public trash container is full, don’t leave trash outside of the enclosure, find a different bear resistant trash receptacle and use it • Only put out garbage on the morning of pickup • Close garage doors •Take bird feeders in at night, or better yet, don’t feed the birds in the summer months, put out flowers, not feeders • Keep pet food inside • Clean your grill after every use • Never leave food (or anything scented, chapstick, gum, air fresheners) in your car. Bears can and will break into cars in search of anything that smells appealing • Use an electric fence around beehives and livestock Estes Park is a dangerous place to be a bear. They’ve always been here and they’re not going away. We’re here and we’re not going away. So we have to make it work for all of us. Don’t be responsible for killing a bear.

The Back to School backpack is a very emotional decision for kids. It should also be a well thought out decision by parents. The U. S.

Pockets of air. There’s something about that phrase that sounds good. It makes me think refreshing, healthy, maybe billowy even. It’s the way my friend Scott explained why he likes to wear seersucker—because the fabric has pockets of air that are cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

I’ve always been a sucker for seersucker, starting way back when I sewed my own clothes. Remember those days? We scoured over Butterick, Simplicity and McCalls pattern books, then went to the deep drawers that held the envelopes catalogued by pattern number and pulled the pattern we wanted. We wandered through aisles and aisles of fabric, selected our favorite, chose thread and buttons or a zipper to match, and took the bolt to the cutting table. We calculated the cost while the clerk unfurled the bolt (thump, thump on the counter).

She’d cut the amount we’d asked for, then we’d scurry home to lay it all out, pin the tissue paper pattern pieces to the fabric folded inside-out on the living room floor, and start cutting.

I learned to sew in Home Ec in junior high. Home Ec was a class where girls learned to cook, sew and budget. When convenience foods became readily accessible and manufactured clothing was only a discount store away, Home Ec classes lost their place in schools. Today these types of classes are still offered here and there, called something ambiguous like Consumer Sciences. Home has been swept under the rug.

I sewed my first garment when I was in seventh grade, with my mother nearby to help when I needed it. I learned two things from my mom during those afternoons at the sewing machine: • When I got testy with frustration and snapped at her when she offered help, Mom had every right to lose patience with my pre-teen moodiness but she didn’t. She would step back and calmly suggest that it was time to take a break. Pushing through with ire would gain nothing and would create unhappy relations and an unsatisfactory garment. Later, when I sat back down at the sewing machine, things came together without a snag. (Doing a crossword puzzle works the same way: put it down for awhile and when you pick it up again, words that eluded you earlier just come.)

• If I got discouraged because my product wasn’t turning out perfectly, Mom urged me to take a close look at my store-bought clothes. They were far from perfect with mismatched plaids, uneven hems and oddly shaped buttonholes. Perfection is overrated, she proved to me. Case in point: last minute, I made a top to wear to a high school dance that was “sewn” together with more safety pins than thread. Nobody knew but me.

I made a lot of the clothes for years after that junior high class. Over time the cost of patterns and fabric went up so much that it was cheaper to buy clothes than to make them, so my enthusiasm for sewing faded.

My fondness for seersucker did not. My

favorite top was a dressy blouse I sewed in high school (without a single safety pin). It was made of white seersucker with tiny yellow roses in a calico pattern, a break from that fabric’s traditional blue stripes.

Seersucker is a puckered fabric that is usually striped or checkered, most often in blue. (Can you imagine the Great Gatsby in anything but? Green stripes just wouldn’t make the same Gatsbyesque statement.) This funny-named fabric looks like the thread shrunk when it was washed, so it isn’t completely flat. It’s a little crinkly in alternating increments. The places where the thread puckers is what creates the pockets of air Scott described when telling of his fondness for seersucker.

The word seersucker comes from the Persian words shir and shakar, meaning milk and sugar. Milk is smooth and sugar is lumpy. Knowing this makes me like the bumpy fabric all the more.

The history of seersucker goes back several centuries. It first was worn in Britain’s warm weather colonies because the pockets of air were cooling. In our country, the light textile was first worn by the gentry in the hot, humid South, and then by Confederate soldiers during the Civil War (it is light but tough). During that time it was also used as bed ticking for mattresses and pillows because it was cool and the tight weave kept feathers from poking through.

After the war, the fabric fell out of favor and seersucker, all puckered and crinkly, became the clothing material of the poor.

Then in the 1920s, coeds began wearing it and made it the bee’s knees once again.

Nurses and hospital volunteers wore red and white striped seersucker that became known as candy stripe. (In the ’80s my sister was a candy striper, which wasn’t that long ago. Do candy stripers still exist?)

Railroad workers wore overalls and caps made of navy blue striped seersucker, called Hickory stripe. In the 1970s, college professors came to be recognized by their full seersucker suits and red bowties, and students by their preppy seersucker blazer with jeans.

That was 40 years ago. Supposedly seersucker came back in the ’90s but I didn’t know it until last week. Then I noticed Scott wearing it in a multi-colored plaid.

And Bob in his blue checks and Dan modeling a bumpy tropical print. Seersucker is happiness woven into a fabric!

When I’m ready to buy something new, I’ll look for seersucker. It’s traditional but these days it’s also colorful, still cool during the summer, and the best thing about the air pocket fabric is that it’s crinkly on purpose. No ironing required.

Leave a Legacy Campaign

100 Planned or Uncovered Gifts to Estes Valley Nonprofits by November 2019 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0

Estes Valley Legacy Campaign: Planned Giving Update Estes Valley Legacy is a planned gift education and marketing program operated collaboratively by leading Estes Valley nonprofit organizations for the benefit of their donors. Estes Valley Legacy is donor-centric, trusting and empowering donors to make planned and estate giving decisions based entirely upon their own circumstances and charitable interests.

Estes Valley Legacy organizations are in a campaign year to uncover or create 100 planned gifts between the 14 member organizations. At this point, 43 gifts have been made to Legacy nonprofits. This is a groundswell of giving in our community! You are encouraged to consider how you might give back to a nonprofit.

The campaign ends on National Philanthropy Day, November 14.

This town is blessed by the endless services and programs offered by nonprofits, their staff and volunteers. Sometimes this is a silent gesture, and sometimes it is a giant check. These

nonprofits make Estes the community we all love. Take a minute to consider how you (or your family) have benefited from our philanthropic community.

What nonprofits make an impact on your life? What causes are important to you?

Planned giving is a way to have big impact on a nonprofit. Talk to the organization and see how you can enhance, start, or grow their programs and services. Have fun with it! How do you want to leave a legacy? The logistics of planned giving can be as simple as adding a nonprofit as a beneficiary on life insurance, or giving an asset (cash, land, a home, etc) to a nonprofit in your will.

Estes Valley Legacy is a program of the Nonprofit Resource Center and offers a free, planned giving educator. If you would like to read more about ways to give and see a list of Estes Valley Legacy nonprofits, please visit plannedgiving.epnonprofit.org.

Estes Park Internationale Aviation Club Meeting August 14 The next meeting of the Estes Park Internationale Aviation Club will be on August 14, 2019, beginning at 6:30 p.m., in the American Legion Post 119 hall, 850 N. St. Vrain Ave, Estes Park.

This meeting is free and open to the public.

Everyone is welcome.

Our speaker for this meeting will be Col (Retired) Loren Shriver, a resident of Estes Park for seven years since retiring from over 45 years in the Air Force (pilot, test pilot), NASA (Astronaut, Space Shuttle Program Management, Kennedy Space Center Deputy Director), and corporate work (United Space Alliance: Space Shuttle Program Deputy Manager; Vice President, Engineering and Integration; Chief Technology Officer). Loren will be speaking about how the Space Shuttle accomplished its re-entry and landing, from the deorbit burn maneuver to start the descent and ending with landing on runways in Florida or California. The focus of the presentation will be on how the guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems on the Space Shuttle combined to perform successful re-entry and landings of a vehicle that started this process as a pure spacecraft orbiting the Earth, and transitioned to a hybrid

spacecraft/aircraft, and finished the final phase as a large, gliding aircraft. The entire process took about an hour, covered some 8000 nautical miles, began above the atmosphere and went through the atmosphere without burning up, and started at about Mach 26 and ended at zero velocity at "wheels stop." The GNC systems used some very sophisticated sensors, computations, cockpit displays, and pre-loaded data tables to accomplish the entire process, and Commanders, Pilots, and Mission Specialist flight engineers spent countless hours in several different simulators, using displays to monitor progress or see diversions from expected performance, practicing emergency procedures to respond to anomalies, and developing effective crew coordination to perform all required actions. Col Shriver will keep the presentation as non-technical as possible, but still highlight the essential actions and processes necessary for success. Come join us for this educational experience--"space cadets" welcome!

High Altitude Rocky Mountain Gardening Please join the Estes Park Garden Club as Jack Fetig, gives us pointers on High Altitude Rocky Mountain Gardening.

Rocky Mountain Antique Festival This Weekend At Estes Park Events Complex

Estes Park Welcomes The Colorado Tandem Bicycling Club The Colorado Tandem Bicycling Club (CTC) will be coming to Estes Park, August 16 -18th. The CTC is a 25-year-old club who is dedicated to the promotion of safe, courteous and fun tandem bicycle riding. The club boasts almost 100 members of which five live right here in Estes Park. These local club members, Sandy and Pat Begley, Doug Miller and Becky Day, Ed and Marlene Hayek, John and Kathy Long, and Lance Foss and Lisa Zahn are opening their houses up to other CTC members for a fun social weekend of riding in this area.

“Tandem riding can be much different than riding a single bike” says member Doug Miller who also is the past president of the club. “But it is not for all.

Communication and trust are the keys to be a successful long-time riding team.” Doug should know, he and his wife have been riding tandems for 30 years now. The front person, often

called the “captain,” does most of the work – shifting, steering and braking whereas the rear person, called either the “stoker” or “rear admiral” provides power throughout the ride and can really enjoy the scenery as the bike moves along.

So, Estes residents be on the lookout for about 20 tandem teams riding around the area of the weekend of August 16-18th. You will see them on Dry Gulch, Fish Creek and into the Park when they ride up and over Deer Ridge on Highway 34. Once the tough riding is over the club will enjoy lunch in a restaurant in Estes and a BBQ at one of the hosts houses.

Further information about the Colorado Tandem Club can be found on their web page coloradotandemclub.org, their face book page or you can contact them at coloradotandemclub@gmail.com.

Heritage Event Company's Rocky Mountain Antique Festival comes to Estes Park, August 9, 10 & 11 at the Estes Park Events Complex. Held indoors, this event features antique dealers from across Colorado and neighboring states, selling quality antiques and authentic vintage. Those attending can expect to shop a diverse selection of treasures from times past including: antique furniture, estate and Native American jewelry, post cards, primitives, advertising, vintage clothing, vintage toys and dolls, comics, vinyl records, antique tools and much more!

Antique show promoter, Gail Kinney, moved to Colorado from Oklahoma nearly five years ago, expanding her established antique show business into to her new home state. She says her shows were welcomed by an enthusiastic audience who enjoyed shopping with the dealers who had been following Heritage Events for the past ten years. "Our customers are loyal because they prefer genuine ‘old stuff.’ and that's what has made our name recognized in the business. We do not court dealers with reproduction merchandise.” Heritage will also be hosting events Greeley November 1 & 2 and Colorado Springs, November 9 & 10.

The Rocky Mountain Antique Festival is climate-controlled, with concessions and free parking. The venue address is 1125 Rooftop Way. Adult admission tickets are only $3 if you mention seeing this story and they are valid for entry all weekend. Tickets may be purchased at the door. Show hours are: Friday 10-5, Saturday 9-5 and Sunday 10-4.

Celebrate Life In Estes Park Thursday, August 15 Tell your locals story!

Pot Luck Desserts Bring musical instruments, Games, hang out with new and old friends Portraits with Zach In August of 1989, I moved to Estes Park after graduating from Colorado State University, to accept a job teaching art at the elementary school. A dream job, in an amazing mountain town came true for me. At the time thought that I would commit to five-six years, now it's 30 years later and I want to bring people together to share their experiences of why they came here and how they have

carved out a home in this beautiful rugged valley. There are so many interesting, creative, hard-working people up here and we all have a story. Reading accounts of the different ways people showed up after the 2013 flood, and other natural disasters that this town has faced, it strikes me that we are a community that knows how to pull together and support during hard times.

So, this celebration is based on sharing during a non-crisis time to develop our relationships even more.

The event takes place Thursday, August 15 at Elkins Distillery from 4 p.m. to close.

Oh my, oh my, I looked at my calendar of events for August and I have at least five potlucks to attend. Now you can make just so many cookies or cold slaws.

I really enjoy all these events but I get tired of making the same old thing. I was looking for something a little different and came up with a “new” salad, or at least new to me. It is a corn salad, but it says to use canned corn. What a foolish thing to do with all our great corn just now really coming into season. I am going to par-boil fresh corn or cook in microwave and cut it off the cob for this one. But the following recipe calls for the canned variety so you can make it in the dead of winter. I would also think that frozen corn would be great, slightly cooked.

Frito Corn Salad Ingredients Gluten free Serves 15 2 cans corn, yellow kernel 1/2 green bell pepper/or yellow pepper (or use only 1 cup of red) * 1/2 purple onion 1/2 red bell pepper* ½ cup mayonnaise ½ cup sour cream ½ cup chopped cilantro 5 oz chili cheese flavor Frito corn chips 1-cup cheddar cheese shredded Mix all above except the Fritos and cilantro. Chill. Right before serving,

sprinkle Fritos and cilantro over top.

The peaches are also at top season so get out your recipes for cobbler and pie. Oh, how I love August. In the south we often made a peach cobbler with pie crust placing one crust in the middle or pieces of crust in the middle making a dumplings of a sort. It was so good; I really love that way of making cobbler.

Sunshine is back to her healthy normal self. We have been enjoying our morning walks before the heat of the day. It was fun today. I was wearing an L.S.U. shirt with “Geaux Tigers” on the back.

Suddenly, a man called out to me. He was from New Orleans. We had a great talk. We were both born at Southern Baptist Hospital and had a lot in common. Nice to meet the visitors, especially when it turns out you have things in common.

Sunshine has developed a bad habit of barking when she hears other neighborhood dogs bark. I want her to alert me but there are one or two dogs that bark at 6:30 a.m. and she (in the house) joins in. That has got to stop. Isn’t there a quiet time here in Estes? All dogs bark, but not at 6:30 a.m!

We will get this problem solved, at least as far as my dog is concerned. Sometimes people forget how to be good neighbors. My email: esther.cenac@gmail.com Bon Appétit

Monarch Caterpillars In Estes Park

Followup: Susan Porr is happy to report that after her monarch butterfly sighting in Estes Park, she discovered eggs on her milkweed plant and now, she has monarch caterpillars munching on the leaves of the plant. Susan suggests if anyone researches plants or butterflies, the best information can be found at /edu websites. For example, when searching for information on monarchs, enter something like “monarch butterflies/edu” so that it directs you to educational and governmental sites that often offer verified research-based information. Susan said, “When I am researching plants or pesticides or insects, I start at CSU because they offer the best information for our area. But adding /edu will broaden the search to other institutions with solid, helpful, reliable information for our Estes Park readers.”

In 1969 a best-selling book was introduced. Called The Peter Principle it was the result of Laurence Peter, who after studying hundreds of organizations, concluded that ‘in a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his/her level of incompetence’. We’ve all seen it happen: a good school teacher is given an advancement to principal, but fails miserably in being able to motivate teachers or in other ways promote excellence, and morale falls. We see a good bank teller who, when promoted to branch manager, fails to be able to increase business or manage his people. The author concludes that the ‘best work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their ‘level of incompetence’. Frequently this is simply taking a person out of what he does well and putting him into an area that does not match their strongest abilities. In so doing it is like a military situation, bemoaned by Michel de Montaigne, serving in the military in the 1500s. He described the result of a recent poorly thought through decision: “Comrades, you have lost a good captain to make him an ill general.�

The keys to finding and living out our calling is blending our skills and abilities, personality traits, and our values, dreams and passions. This is often violated when an introvert is promoted into a ‘leader’ role and overwhelmed, or an analytical person is put in a role of sales or marketing.

We can learn a great deal from a vocational counseling book showing the varied personal traits and the roles that they equip us for. We fall into one of six different categories, which then depict how we ‘find our niche’. We are classed as one of these: Realistic – Investigative – Artistic – Social – Enterprising – Contemporary. These fit us for succeeding in various roles and failing miserably in others: The ‘Realistic’ person will be successful in working with his hands (farmers, mechanics, handy man). The ‘Investigative’ person will excel in research and development, where he works with computers, etc. The ‘Artistic’ person will excel in the ‘arts’, creating and performing music, dance, poetry, The ‘Social’ person will find himself comfortable with people and usually make good teachers, preachers. The ‘Enterprising’ person is not only comfortable with people, he is a ‘leader’ among people. They make good salesmen, politicians, people in management. ‘Conventional’ people are those who are very comfortable with secretarial duties. Like the ‘Realistic’ they work well with their hands, but with smaller machines.

So, with all of this in mind, we are able to determine where we will find our comfort zone in working and serving. We will also be able to ascertain where people we know should be serving and/or where they could better serve.

With the upcoming ‘recall’ election we can, hopefully, ascertain which decision will enable us to be served by the candidate that has proven that he ‘has risen to his level of competence’ or refuse to let him serve as he has so capably served in the past. Our other choice would be to entrust the leadership of our city to someone whom we know little about their ‘level of competency or incompetency’‌to, in essence, bemoan as Montaigne did: ‘Comrades, we have removed a good captain and replaced him with an ‘ill general’.

The time of our decision has arrived: Vote‌and vote wisely (Bob Lewis)

Chain Station-Pure Mountain Music At Performance Park August 17th

The Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies presents Chain Station, Pure Mountain Music at Performance Park, Saturday, August 17th, at 7 p.m. This concert is free.

Estes Park’s favorite band, Chain Station is coming to Performance Park! Get there early and buckle up for a night of high energy, get-up-and-dance, pure mountain music. Chain Station was born thirteen years ago on a mountaintop above Estes, when founding members, bassist Jon Pickett and guitarist Alex Thoele, played together for the first time. Later joined by Jarett Mason on mandolin and C-Bob Elliot on banjo, the group is making a hometown stop on their international summer tour. Fans of old time bluegrass and newgrass alike rave about Chain Station’s super tight

four-part harmonies and finger picking style that ranges from lightning fast to mountain mellow. Dave Johnston of Yonder Mountain String Band says of Chain Station: “These guys really embody a great free-spirited sense of bluegrass that has found a home out here in Colorado.� And Estes residents are so happy they have a home here. With high, lonesome vocals and strings packed with energy like no other, Chain Station always delivers.

Admission is free! Donations are accepted for the Fine Arts Guild scholarship fund for two graduating seniors who plan to major in the arts. Lawn chairs/blankets are encouraged—not that you’ll sit for long when you hear this band.

Alpacas are member of the camelid family, closely related to llamas and camels. Alpacas have been domesticated for over 5,000 years and are one of the oldest domesticated livestock species in the world. They were first imported as livestock into the United states in 1983. There are now approximately 400,000 alpacas in the country, with well over 200 ranches in the state of Colorado alone. Alpacas are an environmentally friendly livestock, much easier on pasture than other animals and are also much more efficient. You will not find an easier livestock species to raise on small acreage. Alpacas are shorn once a year to harvest their incredibly soft fiber, normally in late April through mid June here in Colorado. Alpacas will live an estimated 20 years, with some living as old as 28 years. The males are larger than the females, on average. Gestation length for the female alpaca is approximately 342 days and the females are induced ovulators. Twins are extremely

rare,

as the moms do not have enough milk to support twins. An alpaca will shear, on average, five to seven pounds of fiber each year.

An adult alpaca weighs on average 150 pounds and stands three feet high at the backline. They eat 2% of the body weight a day, or about three pounds of hay. Alpacas come in 22 natural colors, their fiber is more durable and more insulating than sheep’s wool and is as fine as cashmere. The fiber can be processed into any number of high end garments, from scarfs, hats, shawls, blankets, gloves and socks. Even the coarser fiber on the legs and belly of the alpaca is usable for rugs, shoe insoles or felt.

There will be a number of ranches at the event with their alpacas, more than

willing to answer all your questions about raising these wonderful animals.

All these ranches have been raising alpacas for more than ten years, and the depth of experience means they have seen almost everything. If you have any interest in getting into the business of raising alpacas, these farms would be great mentors to get you started. There will be demonstrations (spinning, felting, weaving, etc.) during the event to show you how to use this exquisite fiber. There will also be a large number of vendors at the event selling every imaginable alpaca product from raw fleeces to roving to yarns to a large variety of hand crafted and commercial finished products. Some of our vendors are true artisans making one of a kind garments that you will not find anywhere else. There will be drawings throughout both days for door prizes (must be present to win) so plan on stopping by and register at the welcome desk.

The Alpaca Market will be open Saturday, August 31st from 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. and on Sunday, September 1st from 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.

If you have any questions, please contact Larry or Becky Zierer at lzbalpacas@aol.com or at (303) 4754793. The address for the market is Estes Park Event Complex, 1125 Rooftop Way, Estes Park.

The Baldpate Inn Presents Its 2019 Summer Enchanted Evenings

On Wednesday, August 14, 2019, at 7 p.m., The Baldpate Inn is pleased to welcome Connor Patrick Newman for their Summer Enchanted Evenings lecture series. Mr. Newman will be speaking on The Geologic History of National Parks in the Southern Rocky Mountains.

The southern Rocky Mountains (extending throughout Colorado and New Mexico) display geologic formations from almost half of Earth's history, extending back almost two billion years.

National Parks and Monuments of this region are one of the best ways to interact with this unique geologic history.

This presentation provides a background to the geologic processes that have occurred in the southern Rocky Mountains, and compares and contrasts the varying geology of many of the parks throughout the area.

Connor Newman grew up outside

Boulder, Colorado where he began collecting rocks at a young age (a preview of his future as a geologist). After studying geology at CU Boulder Connor moved to Nevada for several years to learn more about the geology of the western US. Now back home in Colorado, Connor studies the interaction of water and geologic phenomena.

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

Quarterly Economic Summary And Forecast By: Dr. John W. Green, Economist Provided by Bank of Estes Park The Estes Park economy experienced robust record growth in 2018. Park visitation, retail sales and real estate transactions were all very strong. Since I measure annual changes in statistics tracking economic activity, 2019 growth will seem weaker than 2018.

July, August and September data will determine our final impression of 2019 growth. If those months surpass 2018 numbers, 2019 will be another strong growth year. Recent statistics, however, suggest otherwise. Growth will probably continue to slow from 2018 levels. The big question is whether 2020 will bounce back or continue to slow.

The U.S. economy is likely to weaken in 2020. Whether it slides into recession is yet to be determined. The current administration will do everything within its power to keep the economy growing. If the U.S. economy slides into recession before the election, the administration is likely to change. The recent budget accord provided more fiscal stimulus via additional deficit spending. Deficit spending is at record highs with neither political party seeming to be concerned.

A victory in the trade war will be declared at the most opportune time. And there will be continuing pressure on the Fed to lower interest rates.

2019 economic growth in Estes Park is positive, just not as robust as 2018. Some months are weaker than 2018 and some are stronger. RMNP visitation experienced its most rapid slowdown in 40 years of data, although the government

shutdown in January and February affected the comprehensiveness of the data.

Retail sales growth has leveled off after a very strong summer in 2018. Peak and trough months are higher on an annual basis. Five of the first six months of real estate transactions have seen annual decreases from 2018 exceeding 22 percent.

Larimer County employment growth continues to slow. This slowdown, however, is relative; we’re talking about slowing from over five percent growth to 3.0 percent growth, still above historical averages. Both single family home and multi-family construction are slowing.

Construction, however, is a significant driver of economic activity. Retail sales growth in Larimer County is slowing.

2019 will therefore see slower growth than 2018. Uncertainty is MUCH greater, primarily because of international trade conflicts and national administrative turmoil. This uncertainty is great enough to reach into Colorado and the Estes Park economy.

Please Note: This is a very brief summary of a comprehensive, specialized, quarterly economic summary and forecast report that Bank of Estes Park utilizes internally, addressing the national, state, county, and local economies. The complete version is available upon request to bank clients of Bank of Estes Park, for private, individual use, without reproduction or distribution. This brief summary is being made available as a service to the local Estes Park community. For questions or comments, please call Scott Applegate, Chief Credit Officer, at 970-235-7027.

There is a new tour company in town, Estes Park Guided Tours. The company gives tours of RMNP and day trips to Grand Lake. It’s a bit different than a few other tour companies in town in that a comfortable air conditioned and heated 14 passenger van is used thus ensuring comfort from inclement weather and reduced exposure to the sun. There are stops to get out of the van to take pictures and observe the wildlife and scenery.

The company prides itself on not having a “canned” tour but instead asks the customer what they think they would like on the tour they have chosen and then adapt the tour accordingly. There are three tours to choose from: Lower Valley Tour – three hours. This is a great tour if you are focused on wildlife and a little nervous about heights! We cover all the lower valley key areas such as Sheep Lakes, Alluvial Fan Waterfall, Moraine Park, and either Sprague or Bear Lake. The views are

amazing!

Alpine Visitor Center Tour - four hours. This is a great tour if you wish to cover all three ecosystems. We start in the lower valley and get you right up to the Alpine Visitors Center at 11,796 feet.

You will encounter breath-taking views!

Grand Lake Tour – eight to nine hours. This is the ultimate Rocky Mountain National Park Tour. We cover all three ecosystems, again stopping at the Alpine Visitors Center, but continuing on to cross over the Continental Divide and finishing at Grand Lake. An approximately one and a half hour stop for lunch and stroll around town and then back through the west side of the park where there is the greatest opportunity of viewing moose.

The website is www.estesparkguidedtours.com and their phone number is 817-371-1091.

Final Two Burning Issues Programs At The “Y” -Free Of Charge

For you who are interested in current worldwide geopolitical affairs, please join us in exploring: “What Will Be the Supreme Court's New Normal?”

“Hot Spots around the world.”

The public - “Y” campers, Estes Park residents, and visitors to RMNP and our

Estes Valley - all are invited to the 44th Annual Robert M. Lawrence Burning Issues Lecture Series for 2019, conducted at the “Y,” free of charge. The presentations will be every Monday at 7:30 p.m., through August 19, in the Hempel Auditorium.

8/12/19: “What Will Be the Supreme Court's New Normal?” Eric Waples, former Headmaster of Fountain Valley Schools of Colorado and Chair of History and Government of the Potomac School in McLean, VA, he taught courses on the Supreme Court for the past 47 years. While living in the Washington D.C. area, Mr. Waples and his students met with various Supreme Court justices and sat in on many cases. His presentation focus will be upon how the recent addition of Justices Gorsuch and Ka-

vanaugh affect personal alliances, methods of constitutional interpretation and case outcomes. He will explore these questions in the context of end-of-term Court decisions involving the census, gerrymandering, the Peace Corps and other significant constitutional issues.

8/19/19: “Hot Spots around the world.” John Roberts is a retired U.S. State Department officer. His service spanned deployments to U.S. outposts from the Middle East to Asia, including Vietnam. After retirement he taught in the International Affairs Department at Colorado State University. Based upon his overseas experience, he will discuss the many areas where the U.S. finds itself involved.

Directions: In Estes Park US 36 becomes Elkhorn St. Follow “US 36” and “RMNP” signs to Moraine Ave and turn left. In two miles, cross the intersection at Mary's Lake Rd., move to the left lane for 1/4 mi. County “66”, plus “YMCA” signs take you left onto Tunnel Rd./66. (US 36 continues west into Rocky Mountain National Park.)

In 2.5 mi the YMCA entrance is on the right. From Tunnel Rd./66 to the “Y campus” is Association Drive. At the 2nd stop sign turn right into the parking lot and find a spot. The building on that right corner is Hempel Auditorium. The sign on Hempel faces Association Dr. and is not prominently visible - dark green lettering on the dark brown wall is partially obscured by evergreen trees.

Please join us.

Nan Ryan Tourney Winners Announced Junior Golf was again the big winner in the 16th annual Nan Ryan Invitational, played Saturday, July 27, at the Lake Estes Golf Course.

And it was another record-breaking event, with 36 teams and 144 players, raising a record $5120 for the Estes Park Junior Golf Program, bringing the total raised by the tournament to $39,231!

“I am so excited that the tournament was another success,” said Nan Ryan, tournament organizer. “It’s so gratifying to see so many people come together to encourage young people to play and enjoy this great game.”

Despite the dire predictions of rain, the day turned out to be mostly beautiful, until a late afternoon downpour kept the final two teams from finishing.

Mark Miller, one of the founders of the junior golf program and Manager of Golf Services at Estes Park golf courses, said, “the Nan Ryan Invitational is one of the largest fundraising events that keeps our golf program going. The money raised helps to buy golf equipment for the junior program participants, assists with scholarships for those who need financial assistance, helps players participate in tournaments, and helped to buy the golf simulator for the Estes Valley Community Center.”

Thanks go to Miller and his staff at both Estes Park Golf Courses, Lyn Ferguson and Marsha Sypher who handled registration, Megan Miller for doing scoresheets and scorecards, Kristi Mann and Judith Praul who handled food, Diane Phillips who helped with merchandise sales, Carol Prince, Wally Wester and Tandy Brown who kept play moving, and Dave Marquart and Frank Zambrano, course marshals.

A big thanks to Andy Morgan at The Dunraven Inn for the delicious lunch, and to the Caramel Corn Shop for the very tasty caramel corn.

Greg Anderson and his maintenance crew had the golf course in beautiful condition, and received many compliments from the players.

Learn Basic Songs On The Tone Chimes

Music instructor Jenna Williams will lead two workshops on how to play basic songs on the tone chimes. This beginner-level session is free and open to adults, teens, and kids ages nine and up. The programs are part of the Estes Valley Library’s Summer Reading Program series designed around the theme, “A Universe of Stories.”

The workshop “Music of the Stars: Moon, Star, And Lullaby Songs on the Tone Chimes” takes place on Thursday, August 15 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the library. The same session will be offered again on Thursday, August 22 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

The workshop is free, but space is limited, so participants should register in

advance at estesvalleylibrary.org.

Tone chimes will be provided for participants to use during the class.

Williams will spotlight songs that have a thematic connection to the stars, the moon, or lullabies. Tone chimes offer a rich and resonant sound and are one of the most accessible ways to create music individually or with a group of friends.

The Summer Reading Program series is made possible by the generosity of the Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation. For attendees’ convenience, use the Town's new parking app to check on parking downtown: www.colorado.gov/pacific/ townofestespark/parking.

Endangered Animals By: Judi Smith

We hear, constantly, about the effects of global warming on ocean sea life but the way this affects mountain wildlife is often ignored. Global warming is affecting us here at home and, even if we can still ignore it, if we do not pay proper attention, the changes to our ecosystem will be devastating.

I have heard, many times recently, that the reason both residents and visitors come to Estes is the scenery and the wildlife. I have only to look out my window to realize how important this can be. There is a comfort in the trees that surround us, in the elk who “mow” the lawn, and in seeing mountain lion prints in our snow-covered driveway. Even if we take it for granted, there is a subconscious link to the planet that has an indisputably calming effect on the lives of all that dwell here.

Watching Nick Molle's new movie “The Nature of the Beasts” last Sunday (on PBS) was a revelation. Of course, just the scenery depicted and the shots of the wildlife have lasting effects on my psyche, making the film worth watching for that alone. I cannot wait to see the fulllength version! However, there is a very valuable underlying message here that we have been ignoring for too long.

The greenhouse gas effect was first discovered in 1827 and the contributions of CO2 were discovered in 1896. At one degree every 100 years, or even 10 degrees every 100 years, the effect was barely noticeable and could be easily, if not safely, ignored. As the Earth grew consistently warmer and the weather therefore more violent, and as fires and floods, tornados and earthquakes increased in number and intensity, it became increasingly difficult to ignore. Since CO2 is a major culprit and methane has been deemed 85 times more dangerous than CO2, we can assume that humankind causes at least part of this phenomenon. If our actions can cause it, then our actions can solve it – if we start now.

According to the United Nations Re-

port on Biodiversity of May 2019, 25% of all species on Earth are now subject to extinction. While the “top 10” on their list of endangered species are not indigenous to the Rocky Mountains, 74 of the one million species listed do live here in Colorado (including the Bald Eagle).

Many species not on the endangered list are also in trouble. A good example of changes here at home includes the hyperphagia of our local bears. A warmer climate lengthens the summer, shortening hibernation. Bears who are awake longer are requiring more food but the growth season has not (yet?) accommodated this change. Result; the bears are entering towns, vehicles, and homes because the Earth is not producing enough food.

“Indicator species” are carefully chosen to assist with prediction in a defined ecosystem. This gives us long term records of their efforts to cope with changes to their lifestyle. The “Nature of the Beasts” depicts the pika, an indicator species for the Rocky Mountains. These adorable creatures live on the tundra, where temperature should not exceed their survivable limit of 70 degrees.

They build a nest and remain in one location for life. They do not migrate.

They winter in the warm pocket under the snow pack which they must have to survive. They do not hibernate. As the species moves to higher ground following the cooler temperatures, they run out of possibilities. If the Earth gets too warm, they cannot survive.

We cannot truly separate the Front Range from our Valley. Warmth rises.

We may be behind the lower altitudes in global warming but, still, it infringes on our ecosystem here. Can we, at the very least, minimize the CO2 and methane that we manufacture right here? Do we, who love this paradise where we reside, have a responsibility to protect it for future generations? Do we owe the pika and other animals a chance at life? We must each answer that question for ourselves.

Quilt Guild Meeting August 14 Estes Valley Quilt Guild monthly meeting will be held August 14, 2019 at 6:30 p.m. at Good Samaritan’s main dining room, 1901 Ptarmigan, Estes Park, CO. This month’s speaker is Carol Ann Waugh, a mixed media artist and teacher from Denver, CO. Carol will speak about her journey from a career in business consulting to full time studio artist. Guests are welcome, there is a $10 guest fee.

Parkinson’s Support Group Meeting The next meeting of the Parkinson’s Disease Support Group will be held Tuesday, August 20 in the Wasson Room at the Estes Valley Library, take the elevator to the second floor. Monthly meetings are always held on the third Tuesday of the month from 2-3:30 p.m. All affected by this progressive neurological disease are welcome to attend to bring their own experiences, strength and hope and come together for the good of the group.

On Sunday, August 11, Trace Bundy will be the guest musician for the 10:00 a.m. worship in Hyde Chapel. He will also perform a concert at 7:00 p.m. in Hyde Chapel. The concert is free and open to the public.

From Boulder, Colorado, Bundy is a worldrenowned acoustic guitar player known for his phenomenal performances and creative musical style. Internationally acclaimed guitar virtuoso Trace Bundy must be seen, not just heard. His music is poetry in motion, using harmonics, looping, multiple capos, and his unique banter and stage presence to deliver an unforgettable live concert experience. Listening to his intricate arrangements is one thing, but seeing the fan-dubbed “Acoustic Ninja” play live confounds even the most accomplished music lovers as to how one person can do all that with just two hands and ten fingers.

Bundy’s unique career has brought him across the world, with sold-out concerts in 28 countries and counting – from high-tech performance halls in South Korea and Italy, to remote villages in Zimbabwe and Guatemala.

In 2008 Bundy earned the title of “Most Promising New Talent” by Acoustic Gui-

tar Magazine, and came in third in the same magazine's "Best Fingerstyle Guitarist of the Year" category. Audiocast Magazine from Austin, Texas, claims,

“Bundy's live show is without a doubt an event that needs to be witnessed rather than told about.” Over the past couple of years, Trace has shared the stage with Knopfie (Dire Straits), Bill Nershi (String Cheese), Brandi Carlile, Olivia Newton-John, Judy Collins, and Chris Hillman (the Byrds) among others. He has independently sold over 130,000 albums on his record label, Honest Ninja Music. His video clips circulate virally at astonishing speed, with over 40 million YouTube views to date.

This Sunday service and concert are a part of the Chapel Ministry’s 2019 Summer Worship Fest program. Learn more about the YMCA Chapel Ministry and 2019 Summer Worship Fest at ymcarockies.org/activities/chapel-ministry/

Thanks To The League Of Women Voters To The Editor: I am writing to applaud and thank the League of Women Voters for the Recall Election Forum that the League presented at Town Hall on July 24th. Not able to attend in person, I watched the video on the Town’s website under the heading “Watch Town Meetings Online.”

Here is a link from which you can navigate to it: https://estesgovtv.viebit.com/ Note that the substantive discussion begins fifteen minutes in, and lasts for thirty minutes.

The session was very informative! The League’s Bonnie Seals served as moderator; Annie Slack and Shannon DeJaynes represented opposition to the recall; and Linda and Pete Langer and Scott Schneider spoke in support. In addition, at the end, Eric Blackhurst explained his reasons for placing his name on the recall ballot as an alternative to Cody Walker.

On the whole, I found the supporters of the recall more persuasive. They were

well prepared, very temperate, very polite. They emphasized that Trustee Walker had requested and received a detailed construction quote for the mountain coaster three months before the fateful vote - from which, they argued, Walker should have recused himself.

And they cited the newly released memo from a meeting shortly before the same vote indicating the extent of Walker’s unknown plans.

I was also impressed with Eric Blackhurst’s quiet readiness. Given his previous eight years on the Board of Trustees, he appears well equipped to hit the ground running and work with the Trustees on important budget and development-code planning issues if called on to do so.

This forum seemed to me an example of local democracy at its best. Many thanks to everyone who participated!

The Old Gallery In Allenspark Presents Classical Music Benefit Concert Ask Pianist Barry Hannigan why he and his wife Mary play a benefit concert every year at The Old Gallery and he’s quick to say, “We have always believed that The Old Gallery is a huge benefit to the Allenspark community.”

Because of that belief, he and his wife, who plays flute, will perform their 10th benefit concert for the nonprofit center for community, the arts and visitors.

The concert takes place on Saturday, August 10 at 4 p.m.

“Playing music is one way we can give back,” said Barry Hannigan. “We love playing at The Old Gallery. The acoustics are amazing and it’s a very special venue.”

They will be performing Sonata, Op. 2, No. 2, “La Vibray” by Michel Blavet; Aria, Op. 48, No. 1 by Ernst von Dohnanyi; Grand Valse Brillante, Op. 18, Valse Brillante, Op. 34, No. 1 and Valse, Op. Post. By Frederic Chopin; Suite de Trois Morceaux, Op. 116 by Benjamin Godard and Sonata, Op. 23 by Lowell Liebermann.

Barry Hannigan was recently awarded Emeritus status at Bucknell University, where he retired as the Ellen P. Williams Professor of Music. He also received Bucknell University’s highest award for inspirational teaching. He made his New York debut in Carnegie Recital Hall in 1984 and has since received rave reviews in major cities across the United States.

He has performed in Russia, England,

China, Ireland, Norway and New Zealand.

He is the recipient of many awards and prizes, including those from the Ford, Belin, Surdna, and Presser Foundations. He has also received a Solo Recitalist Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts; an award intended to recognize the nation’s outstanding recitalists.

Mary Hannigan is a member of the Harrisburg Symphony and recently retired from the faculty of Dickinson College, where she performed for many years with that college’s faculty wind quintet. She has also taught at Susquehanna University, Bucknell University, Wilkes University and Colorado College. A former faculty member of the Rocky Ridge Music Center in Colorado, she performed for the Music in the Mountains series for many years.

Admission is free, but donations to the non-profit are appreciated. There will be a cash bar and refreshments will be served. Kathy Bowers is the Community Host for the event.

The Old Gallery is located at 14863 Colorado Highway 7 in Allenspark, 20 minutes south of Estes Park. On Saturday, Sept. 14, the famed Takács String Quartet will perform at The Old Gallery. Tickets are $50 in advance and $60 at the door. However, the event does sell out every year. Tickets can be purchased at theoldgallery.org or at The Old Gallery from 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. daily.

Gourds Offer Unlimited Opportunities For Creativity You can paint them, carve them, wood burn them, bead them, paint and stain them and even weave on them. Gourds offer endless opportunities for creative expression and gourd artist Vicki Dyas is determined to do them all.

Dyas is one of 19 artists featured at The Old Gallery in Allenspark, a nonprofit center for community, the arts and visitors on Colorado Highway 7.

She’s been a part of The Old Gallery since 2008 and is currently the art coordinator.

Her passion for gourds began in California in 1990, when she attended a craft fair and saw gourd art for the first time. “I invited the gourd artist to come to my craft group and teach us. She did and it stuck for me,” Dyas said. Dyas and her husband have split their time between homes in Brookdale, California and Allenspark.

Dyas also teaches gourd art here in Colorado. “The beautiful space at The Old Gallery is my favorite place to teach,” she said “I actually love teaching as much as I love creating. It is so rewarding for me to see people create beautiful

Old Gallery. “It’s a gorgeous gallery and the artists featured here are so talented,” she said. “As the Art Coordinator at The Old Gallery I am really happy to be in a position to help promote local artists.”

In 2012, Dyas made a piece of jewelry to embellish a gourd and that was the beginning of her jewelry art. Her unique and stunning jewelry is also for sale at The Old Gallery.

She and her husband Bill have been involved with The Old Gallery on every level since 2008. They have served as board members, committee chairs and have been instrumental in help The Old Gallery become one of the top tourist attractions on Highway 7.

They were awarded the Dan Crane Community Excellence Award in 2016 for their contributions to The Old Gallery.

You can view Dyas’ unique and stunning gourd art at The Old Gallery at 14863 Hwy. 7 in Allenspark. If you are interested in taking gourd art classes, contact kiwisam62@rmail.com The Old Gallery is only 20 minutes from

Dr. Ronald Pearson Dutton Dr. Ronald Pearson Dutton died Aug. 2 at Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland. He died peacefully, surrounded by his loving family.

Dutton was born Dec. 4, 1933 in Boston and grew up in New Hampshire. He graduated from Peterborough High School, then worked his way through Harvard University. He graduated cum laude in 1955 with a bachelor’s degree in English, with minors in Social Relations and Fine Arts. He earned a Master of Arts in Teaching degree from Harvard in 1956.

While earning that degree, he accepted a job in Nebraska as the state’s community mental health educator.

While chaperoning nursing students to and from the Nebraska State Fair in Lincoln, Ron met a young nursing student, Marilyn Lundahl. The two began dating, and were married in 1957, just before Ron entered the U.S. Army for a tour of duty in Germany. The couple still celebrate both their wedding and the day they were reunited after Ron returned to the U.S. After his army service, Ron returned to Harvard to pursue a Doctor of Education degree in Counseling Psychology. He received that degree in 1965.

Ron had multiple careers in his working life, much of which was spent in the Boston area. As a psychotherapist in private practice, he specialized in shortterm therapy, often augmented by hypnosis or guided imagery. Starting in 1969, he was one of the few licensed psychologists to go into full-time private practice. Ron also spent a number of years working part-time as a Senior Consulting Psychologist with Miller Associates, a firm that specializes in individual executive assessment and development.

Working in numerous professional societies, Ron co-founded and helped lead The Coalition for Children, a consortium of about 40 groups, including parent-advocate groups, joined forces to agree on, write and pass legislation to reform special education in Massachusetts. That group’s work became a model for national legislation to aid special needs children. Ron’s career also included teaching, one of his passions.

Much of his teaching work was done at the University of Massachusetts Boston and Boston University – where he advanced to the position of Visiting Associate Professor. He also held both full-

and part-time faculty appointments at Harvard.

Ron was also a widely-published writer. He co-authored an article honored by the American Psychiatric Association. He wrote all the materials for a complex psychological test, “PROSE,” and was a columnist for the “Yankee Magic Collector” magazine.

He also wrote the preface for a book on mentalism. His interest in magic sparked by seeing card tricks performed by a favorite uncle, Ron was an avid collector of magic books, art and apparatus, and was elected Dean of the Society of American Magicians, Assembly 292 Fulfilling a longtime dream.

Ron and Marilyn moved to Estes Park, Colorado in 1991.There, he established a counseling practice and Marilyn continued her nursing career in both hospital and home hospice work. Waking up to a view of Lake Estes, Ron often jokingly asked Marilyn, “Should we extend (our stay) another three days?”

Dr. Ron Dutton is survived by Marilyn, his wife of nearly 62 years, daughters Kay (Scott) Miller, of Gypsum, Colorado, Lisa Roussos and her husband, Joe Pozycki, of Loveland, Colorado, and granddaughter Virginia Miller, of Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Funeral services are set for 2 p.m.

Thursday, Aug. 8 at Shepherd of the Mountain Lutheran Church in Estes Park.

In lieu of flowers, please contribute to the charity of your choice, care of Allnutt funeral services, 1302 Graves Avenue, Estes Park, CO, 80517. Please visit www.allnuttestespark.com to leave a message to the family.
