Ballots were mailed to all registered voters July 29. Voters who have not received their ballots may contact the Town Clerk’s office at 970-577-4777 to receive a replacement ballot by mail. Replacement ballots or absentee ballots will be mailed through Aug. 16. After Aug. 16, all requests for replacement ballots must be made in person at the Clerk’s office, Room 130 of Town Hall, 170 MacGregor Ave. Voters may return ballots via mail or cast them now through 7 p.m. Aug. 20 at the Town Clerk’s office in Room 130 of Town Hall, 170 MacGregor Ave. All ballots must be received by 7 p.m. Aug. 20, when the polls close, in order to be counted – postmarks do not count. The Larimer County offices on Brodie Av-

enue cannot accept ballots for the Town of Estes Park Municipal Election.

The Aug. 20 election will determine whether or not Cody Rex Walker should be recalled from the Office of Trustee; and, elect a candidate to succeed Cody Rex Walker should he be recalled from the Office of Trustee.

Review Plans For The Community Drive / U.S. 36 Roundabout Aug. 29 The Town of Estes Park invites community members to hear information and provide input on the proposed roundabout on U.S. 36 at the Community Drive intersection during an open house Aug. 29 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at the Estes Park Museum, 200 4th Street.

Residents are encouraged to arrive by 4:30 p.m. for an overview presentation and stay for the open house to review and comment on design drawings. The roundabout project will help accommodate traffic accessing the Town’s Events Complex, maintaining better traffic flow in all directions. The plans are 30 percent complete and under technical review by Town staff.

For individuals who cannot attend the open house, project materials are also available at www.estes.org/US36roundabout. Written comments may be mailed to Town of Estes Park Public Works, RE: US 36 & Community, P.O. Box 1200, Estes Park, CO 80517 or emailed to publicworks@estes.org by Sept. 6.

The need for these improvements was identified in the traffic study prepared in 2009 for the Town’s Event Center project. Because of increased traffic through the U.S. 36/Community Drive intersection to and from the new Event Center, CDOT designated the Town as the responsible party to install new turn lanes at this intersection. In 2014, CDOT agreed to allow the Town to defer construction of these turn lanes due to the flood recovery efforts under way at that time. Based on subsequent input from the citizen Transportation Advisory Board, operational considerations, and direction from the Town Board, the scope of intersection improvements was revised from auxiliary turn lanes to a new roundabout. The Town has been awarded a future Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality grant in the amount of $750,000 from CDOT to help fund this project. For more information, please contact the Public Works Department at 970-577-3587.

Safety Checkpoint In Rocky Mountain National Park To help ensure a safe and enjoyable stay for park visitors, Rocky Mountain National Park rangers will be increasing Law Enforcement Patrols and conducting a Safety Checkpoint on Saturday, August 17. Rangers will be looking for traffic violations, safety violations, and impaired drivers.

Park staff members are committed to safety and safe driving in the park. With more than 100 miles of roads, Rocky’s unique driving conditions can be extremely challenging due to high traffic

volume, rapidly-changing weather conditions, and wildlife on roadways. Visitors are reminded that federal law requires occupants of vehicles to wear seatbelts when driving on all park roads.

The checkpoints are being conducted in cooperation with local law enforcement agencies.

Fencing Hazardous To Wildlife Removed For Free Professional wildlife photographer, Weldon Lee recently started a local nonprofit, Mission New Earth which does projects to aid wildlife in the Estes Valley.

One of the projects is to remove or clean up broken or no longer needed fencing that may pose a hazard to wildlife. Last winter, at least three fawns died due to barb wire fencing hooking onto their fur then pulling so much of it off, that they

could not keep warm enough and they froze to death.

Mission New Earth will remove fencing that is a hazard to wildlife, especially fawns, in the Estes Valley. There would be no cost or liability to property owners. If you are interested in having hazardous fencing removed, please call Weldon Lee at 303-747-2074 or Judy Archibald at 970-577-0509.

Estes Park EDC Welcomes Mark Needham As A New Board Member The Estes Park EDC welcomes Mark Needham to its Board of Directors.

Mark is the new Estes Area Lodging Association (EALA) President and joined the Estes Park EDC board of directors in June of this year taking over for previous EALA President Chuck Scott.

Mark commented “We love this community. This is where we choose to be and where we want to raise our children. That’s why it’s important to me to be as involved in the community as I can and why I’m excited to represent the lodging association with the Estes Park EDC.” Born and raised in Texas, Mark worked in the restaurant and concrete construction industries where he was actively involved in the Downtown Square group of business owners. “I got to see firsthand how a group of business owners could make a positive impact on their community,” he said. Mark is also, the Colorado Excursion Coordinator for Warriors Keep, a Texas based veterans nonprofit whose mission is to unite, empower and enhance the quality of life for veterans with the use of outdoor therapy.

Mark, his wife, Betsy, and his three children moved to Estes Park in 2017 when they were given the opportunity to run the property management company for Estes Park Condos. A year later, their family expanded by acquiring Black Canyon Inn. While they are a family-owned business, Mark and Betsy

have expressed that they are very fortunate to retain their local staff who have become an extended family for them.

One of the things that Mark appreciates about Estes Park EDC is that it works toward helping build an economically, generationally and culturally di-

verse community. Mark added “Because of the beauty of the Estes Valley and Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park has traditionally had a tourismbased economy. But with that comes a responsibility to our community and families of ensuring that we have proper infrastructure, workforce housing, early childhood education and all the things a thriving community needs.”

Timing is everything, some people would say. Thunker reader Bill U. had perfect timing when he sent me a message saying, “… consider diving down into the sweetness of good doggerel…” and asking me to share the poem/song “Pico De Gallo.”

Don’t tell Bill, but I had to look up the word doggerel, which means verse of an irregular rhythm or trivial in nature. It also means words that are badly written or expressed.

Once I had the definition down, I had to read the doggerel he sent. It’s perfectly bad.

And-here’s where Bill’s timing was spot onit was brought to my attention just in time for Bad Poetry Day, which shows up annually on our calendars on August 18.

It is well-known that I am a fan of poetry.

April is National Poetry Month and for years I have dedicated each column during that month to verse. Today I mean to offend no poetry lover by promoting that which is bad. You never know, sometimes bad is so bad it verges on good. Sometimes.

Granted, Bad Poetry Day got started mostly for the non-poetry enthusiasts out there. According the Wellcat.com, the creators of Bad Poetry Day, the intention of the day is get paybacks for all the poetry we had to study but didn’t yet appreciate in school. “Invite some friends over, compose some really rotten verse, and send it to your old high school teacher, ” Wellcat says.

My high school poetry teacher would deserve such torture (rest in peace, Mr. McCutcheon). He wanted me to take a poem I wrote about geometry and turn it into a poem about passing gas. Admittedly, my math poem was bad but his changes to it would have produced the same results.

Both versions stunk. Still, I wanted to pass the class, not gas.

Ok, ok, here is my original version, written at age 15: I’d like to flee from geometry because me thinks it stinks.

My mind goes out I begin to doubt if I will pass this class.

Now, here’s the poem/song Bill U. asked me to share: Pico De Gallo

by Emily Kaitz and Marilyn Cain Pico de gallo, you oughta give it a try-o Even if you're from Ohio, it'll get you byo. don't get it in your eye-o unless you want to cry-o So come on, don't be shy-o, eat some pico de gallo!

It's got jalapenos, I reckon y'all have seen those.

They're kinda hot for gringos and probably flamingos.

Just add some tomatillos, onions and cilantro, Lime juice and tomato, you got pico de gallo!

It was Cinco de Mayo, and I was down on the bayou With my good friend Venus de Milo, We were watchin' Hawaii Five-O She wanted some French fry-o's, or maybe apple pie-o And I said why, oh, why-o? We got pico de gallo!

Pico de gallo, you oughta give it a try-o Even if you're from Ontari-i-o, it'll get you by-o. don't get it in your eye-o unless you want to cry-o So come on, don't be shy-o, eat some pico de gallo!

Somebody called The Very Bad Poet offered several suggestions on how to write bad poetry. Here are a few: •Always use clunky words you don’t really know (e. g. incorrigible and verisimilitude).

• The good news is no one else knows what e. g. stands for either.

• Try to fit a knock-knock joke in whenever possible.

• If you run into writer's block, try writing in a foreign language you don’t speak.

It's de rigueur.

• If you write a ‘concrete’ poem, try to use actual concrete or cement.

• Contrary to popular belief, people really do want to know what you had for breakfast as long as it’s in verse form.

• Things you should know as a poet: Along with “Leaves Of Grass, ” Walt Whitman also wrote several Motown hits for Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.

• Poems to imaginary childhood friends will most likely win you a Pulitzer.

• The best compositions are the ones you plagiarize (e. g., this list).

• It helps if you were dropped on your head as a child.

• If you’re worried about meaning in your poem, don’t. We all know the answer is 42.

Believe it or not, there is one man who is considered the worst poet ever. William McGonagall (1825-1902) wrote about 200 poems which are widely regarded as some of the worst in English literature. Apparently, the only thing he believed about poetry is that it had to rhyme. McGonagall was regularly engaged to recite his verse because of its unintentional comic relief; fortunately he showed no recognition or concern for what his peers thought of his work. A sample, you ask?

Here is the first verse of “The Tay Bridge Disaster, ” his best-loved bad poem: Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silv’ry Tay! Alas! I am very sorry to say That ninety lives have been taken away On the last Sabbath day of 1879, Which will be remember’d for a very long time.

This hardback edition is 444 pages, printed on highquality glossy paper, and makes for an excellent addition to the home libraries of anyone with a passion for Estes Park’s beauty and history, as well as a perfect option for gift giving. The book is the work of three authors: Dr. James Pickering, who wrote the book’s historical text, and Mic Clinger and Derek Fortini, who captured the “now” photographs.

There will be a free presentation this Saturday, August 17 at 2 p.m at the Estes Park Museum. This program will focus especially on areas inside Rocky Mountain National Park. The program content is different from the previous Then & Now programs held this summer. Following the talk, attendees will have a special opportunity to get their books personally autographed by all three authors. The Museum Friends will serve treats and light refreshments.

Completely redesigned from the 2006 edition (which is now out-of-print), the

Revised Edition explores the town and valley by comparing historic photographs-many published here for the first time-with images of those same locations taken very recently. The book features nearly 500 images of the Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park area.

The public is invited to visit the Estes Park Museum Shop to browse the new edition. Copies are for sale at $59.95.

Current and new members of the Friends of the Museum receive a 10% discount on their purchase. The Shop is open Wednesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Once expenses for the publication are paid, all proceeds will go to support the construction of the future Collections & Research Facility to be built next door to the current Museum. All three authors of the Revised Edition have donated all their time and future royalties to go toward this cause.

The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc., is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting the Museum through fundraising, publications, volunteerism, outreach, and special projects and events.

Salud Family Health Centers - August is National Immunization Awareness Month

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.

We all need immunizations (vaccines) to help protect us from serious diseases.

To help keep our community safe, Salud Family Health Centers is proudly participating in National Immunization Awareness Month.

Immunizations can prevent serious diseases like the flu, measles, and pneumonia. Adults need to get immunizations just like kids.

National Immunization Awareness Month is a great time to remind family, friends and co-workers to stay up to date on their immunizations.

It's important to know which immunizations you need and when to get them. Everyone age six months and older needs to get a flu vaccine every

year. Other types of immunizations work best at specific ages or life stages.

Talk to a doctor or nurse to make sure that everyone in your family gets the immunizations they need.

The Estes Park Salud Family Health Center is located at 1950 Redtail Hawk Drive. To schedule an appointment call 970-484-0999 or 303-MYSALUD. The website address is www.saludclinic.org At Salud Family Health Centers, we provide quality, affordable primary health care services to keep you and your family healthy.

Ronna Boles-Owner Of Dorothy Jane’s Quilting-Keeping The Legacy Alive

think you know burgers? think again.

Ronna Boles is the owner of Dorothy Jane’s LLC, Longarm Quilting in Estes Park. She started her business in August of 2018 and is happy to be celebrating her one year anniversary. Ronna said, “It’s been an exciting journey, I’ve been really busy and I’m having a lot of fun!

Ronna got her idea for her business after having to drive all the way to the Front Range and waiting months for her own quilting to be finished. She realized a quilting service was an underserved area in our community, so she visited many stores, did her research on which long arm quilting machine to buy, figuring out how much space it would take up in their home, and decided the gamble was worth it!

Ronna has been creating beautiful quilts for almost four years and professionally quilting for a year at Dorothy Jane’s. Quilting is in her blood. Growing up, she watched her grandmother working on quilts by hand. Ronna said, “I started sewing with my Grandma Dorothy when I was very young. We'd go pick out patterns and pretty fabrics at the store and she'd take me home to her sewing room and teach me how to cut, sew and create. Grandma Dorothy’s work is Ronna’s inspiration and why she named her business after her, Dorothy Jane. This business is also a way that Ronna can stay home with her young children and gives her a wonderful creative outlet. She said, “I began quilting as an outlet for some creativity and just to see if I could do it. Then, I had children and decided to make them quilts. Years ago, my husband and I were gifted the quilt that laid on my grandparents bed as a wedding present and I realized what a special heirloom that was! Now I've

made quilts for my children, myself, friends and family. To say it's addictive is an understatement. If you're a quilter, you know what I mean!”

At Dorothy Jane’s, LLC, Ronna is ready to help you with your machine quilting.

Ronna said, “My clients bring me the top and backing (they are welcome to bring their own batting, but I also sell it) and I have a fast turn around for your quilts, 48 hours or less in many cases.

No more driving an hour to wait a couple of months for a phone call to get your quilt. I personally work with you to choose a quilting pattern, thread color, and make sure you get exactly what you’re expecting when you leave your quilt with me. I understand you are making heirlooms and want to give each quilt the detailed attention it deserves.”

She also creates and sells quilts from start to finish, from baby-size to king size.

Ronna’s hope for her business is to always be a convenient and reliable place for everyone’s quilting needs. She is a member of the Estes Valley Quilt Guild and has found a fantastic quilting community to bounce ideas off of and gain inspiration from their talent. Being part of the younger generation of quilters gives Ronna hope for a bright future for quilting locally.

Ronna takes appointments by phone, text or email. Her number is 925-3008004. In addition to her quilts, she also features her customer works on her Instagram and Facebook pages. Check out her beautiful work there.

In his book, The Rudder of the Day, Dan Miller shares Robert Kiyosakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story of the Hawaiian Black Crabs told in his book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad. He says â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you go down to the beach early in the morning you can find them on many beaches. If you gather them you can put them in your bucket and move on down the beach in search of more. As you walk, the crabs seem to start thinking: â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bumping around in this little basket, making a lot of noise but going nowhere.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But, eventually, one of the crabs looks up and thinks; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole world up there. If I could just get my foot over the edge, I could get out, be free and see the world instead of being cooped up in this bucket.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So he stretches up, moves past another crab, leans on another, and finally gets his foot over the edge. Unfortunately, just as he is about to swing up and over the edge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a crab from the bottom of the bucket reaches up and pulls him back down. Instead of encouraging him and working with him to see how they can help each other up and get to freedom one by one, they pull down anyone attempting to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;gain new heightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and some aspect of successâ&#x20AC;Śeven success that that has the potential to help all of themâ&#x20AC;Ś resulting in all failing to enjoy any of the benefits.

Unfortunately, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an uncommon picture of the world in which we live and work. Many of us live around a bunch of Black Crabs ready to ridicule any new idea we have and eager to pull others back down to their level of performance. Small thinkers find it easier to tell you why something wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t or canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work than to help you find a solution.

People who feel trapped and are struggling at a low level of success are seldom the ones who will cheer you on in a new endeavor. Kiyosake says: I have found that one of the key characteristics of successful people is that they hang around people who are already performing at a level at which they want to perform.

In Killers of the Dream, Lillian Smith wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We in America â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and men across the earth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have trapped ourselves with this word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;equalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which is inapplicable to the genus man. I wish we would forget it. Stop its use in our country. Let the communists have it. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit for men who fling their dreams across the sky. It is fit only for the leveling down of mankind.â&#x20AC;?

There will always be naysayers and whiners; avoid them. Avoid the Black Crabs around you. Find winners and spend time with them!â&#x20AC;?

It was interesting to see that Estes Park has had their share of Black Crabs through the years. Tyler Pialetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article in a recent issue of the Trail Gazette did us all a real service by pointing out how many good things proposed in past years had to overcome a lot of opposition before finally being builtâ&#x20AC;Śthe Safeway store, go-cart track at Fun City, SkyRun Vacation Rentalsâ&#x20AC;Śgood things that we are now glad to see here, providing for our needs and furnishing enjoyment to the millions who come our way each year.

I trust that all of us will give careful thought before we give a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thumbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to things that are proposed for our area. Many may initially seem to be something that will be disadvantageous to us and our immediate comfort, but, when looking at them long- term, realize that they will bring great benefits to our community and our â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;missionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to be a blessing to so many people in our nation and world. We have a great city! Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do our best with / for her and those who enjoy her.

Estes Valley Plein Air Events vation” by Diane Watson on August 22 from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the museum. What started out as a camp fire program at Hermit Park, where Diane works during the summer has now grown into a major book writing project.

While people are generally familiar with Bierstadt’s magnum opus, they are likely are not familiar with the hun-

Estes Valley Plein Air “Family Paint Out”-August 17 Art Center 10 a.m.12 p.m.

The Art “Center of Estes Park will host a “Family Paint Out as part of our 2nd Annual Estes Valley Plein Air on August 17 from 10 a.m.-12 noon.

Cathy Goodale will conduct this event to be held at the Art Center. Formerly known as “Kid’s Paint Out,” the entire family is now invited to participate and experience the art of “plein air” painting.

This event is sponsored by Ron and Ann Wilcocks of Earthwood Galleries. Supplies will be provided. For further information and/or to sign up, contact the Art Center at 970-586-5882 or info@artcenterofestes.com.

Albert Bierstadt Presentation-August 22 Estes Park Museum 7-9 p.m.

The Art Center of Estes Park in collaboration with the Estes Park Museum will sponsor a presentation on Albert Bierstadt: Plein Air Studies as Direct Obser-

dreds of studies the artist made en plein air during his stay in Estes Park, “In the course of working at the Hermit Park Open Space,” Watson states, “I have come to recognize a possible viewpoint for the big painting as the current Kruger Rock Trail. This likelihood is supported by the fact that the Earl of Dunraven’s property reached into the current Hermit Park, and would have been desirable to the artist as a high viewpoint with additional extensive views of the Front Range peaks, Lumpy Ridge and the Mummy Range. The artist painted small studies on location in various areas of what is now Rocky

Mountain National Park as well as throughout the Estes Valley. Many of these studies are still in existence, telling a far different story than the grandiose large studio painting.

Diane was born in New Hampshire, growing up on a family dairy farm with ample opportunity for outdoor adventures. Close observation of the land, rocks, water, trees and animals both wild and domesticated have led to a lifetime of drawing and painting these subjects.

Watson attended Boston University’s College of Fine Arts where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts. Further studies in the New Hampshire University system and six months of art history study, drawing and printing travel throughout Europe provided additional invaluable experience through firsthand observation. Diane came to Colorado in 1979 and attended life drawing classes at the Art Students League, and completed her Master’s Degree in Visual Arts at the University of Denver, studying egg tempera with Deborah Howard.

The public is invited to attend this presentation which will include an opportunity of a question and answer period. For further information contact the Art Center at 970-586-5882.

Via Seeks Volunteer Drivers In Estes Park

Via’s volunteer driver program launched in late 2015 to address the growing need for transportation among Via’s clients. Since then, our Vital Volunteer program has been delivering costeffective transportation solutions in nearly all of the communities we serve.

In a few short years, our program has grown from five volunteers to a dedicated group of more than 20 amazing individuals who supplement the paid drivers on Via’s staff. The addition of the Vital Volunteer program has enabled us to reduce our denials by filling the gaps that our service can’t provide. In 2018, our volunteers provided 3,835 trips!

This year, not only have we expanded

the Vital Volunteer program to Estes Park, but we have also been able to add a second vehicle to serve the mountain community thanks to donations to our Estes Park Fund and support from the Town of Estes Park and Larimer County.

The addition of this vehicle and the expansion of our volunteer driving program has significantly cut down our denial rate, nearly eliminating it, in recent months.

A Volunteer Driver’s Perspective Most folks’ first impression of Volunteer Driver Jack B. is that he’s very happy to be there – wherever he happens to be! It was while Jack was helping his mother deal with the effects of

Alzheimer’s that he realized seniors need advocates. He saw first-hand the older adult population’s issues with transportation, which affected nearly all aspects of their lives.

When asked why he chose to volunteer with Via, Jack said: “I volunteer with several organizations. Via’s good; they do good work. I like helping people. It’s just part of my being; it makes me feel good to be able to do it.”

Volunteer with Via Become a Vital Volunteer driver for Via so you can help seniors and those who are disabled with their transportation needs. As a volunteer, you will help people with mobility challenges to maintain

their independence and connections to the community. All they want is a ride.

To sign up for Via’s Vital Volunteer program, please contact Lisa Bitzer, Director of Paratransit & Mobility Services, at 303-473-2885 or by email at volunteer@viacolorado.org.

About Via-Founded in 1979, Via is a private, nonprofit organization providing ondemand paratransit services, travel training, and mobility options information and referral for people living with mobility challenges. In 2018, Via served more than 3,200 individuals across five counties in Colorado. For more information call 303447-2848 or www.viacolorado.org.

How Does Social Security Fit Into Your Retirement Income Strategy?

It might not be on your calendar, but Aug. 14 is Social Security Day. Since it was enacted on Aug. 14, 1935, Social Security has provided some financial support for millions of Americans during their retirement years. While Social Security benefits, by themselves, probably aren’t enough to enable you to retire comfortably, they can be a key part of your overall retirement income strategy – if you use them wisely.

To help you make decisions about Social Security, you will need to answer these questions: • When should I start taking my benefits? You can take Social Security once you reach 62, but if you wait until your full retirement age, which will probably be between 66 and 67, you’ll get much bigger monthly checks, and if you wait until 70, you’ll get the biggest possible payments. Before deciding when to begin receiving your benefits, you’ll need to weigh a few factors, including your estimated longevity and your other sources of income.

• How should I consider potential spousal benefits? If you are married, or if you’re divorced but were married for at least 10 years, you could receive up to half of your spouse’s full retirement benefit (offset by your own benefit, and reduced if you claim early). If you outlive your spouse, you could claim survivor benefits, which can provide either your own benefits or 100% of your deceased spouse’s, whichever is larger. Consequently, the higher-earning spouse might want to postpone taking benefits for as long as possible to maximize the survivor benefit.

• How much can I earn without reducing my Social Security benefits? If you are younger than your full retirement age and you are receiving Social Security, the Social Security Administration will withhold $1 from your benefits for each $2 you earn over a certain

threshold (which, in 2019, is $17,640).

For the year you reach your full retirement age, your benefits could be withheld by $1 for every $3 you earn over $46,920. But once you reach your full retirement age, you can earn as much as you want without your benefits being withheld, although your benefits could still be taxed, depending on your income.

• How much of my pre-retirement income will Social Security replace?

Generally speaking, you should expect Social Security to replace slightly more than a third of your pre-retirement income. However, the higher your income during your working years, the lower the replacement value of Social Security will be.

• What other sources of retirement income should I develop? Contribute as much as you can afford to your IRA and your 401(k) or similar employersponsored retirement plan. You may want to consult with a financial professional, who can look at your entire retirement income picture and recommend moves to help you achieve the lifestyle you’ve envisioned for your later years.

Keep in mind that your decisions about Social Security filing strategies should always be based on your specific needs and health considerations. For more information, visit the Social Security Administration website at socialsecurity.gov.

One final word: You may have concerns about the stability of Social Security. While no one can predict the future, many potential solutions exist to put the program on more solid footing.

Consequently, try to focus on the actions you can control.

This Summer’s Coolest Car Show: The Most Successful Yet

2019 Corvette ZO6 st

The 21 annual Coolest Car Show in Colorado was held last July 4 at the Estes Park Events Center. The numbers have been tallied, and this year’s show will go down as the most successful one yet. The event raised close to $8,000 in support of the nonprofit Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation.

This year’s success was due in no small part to the great attendance, the participation of enthusiastic car owners, the generous support from many sponsors and volunteers, as well as the tremendous assistance from the Town’s Event Center staff.

More than 1,000 attendees enjoyed a festive event throughout the day. The children’s corner, the food truck, the apple pie table, the Create and Capture

Photo Booth, and local caricaturist Tim Buck all added to the fun and activities.

Appreciation also goes to the Mountain Music Makers for providing live entertainment that morning.

Volunteers are the heart of the Friends, without whom the show could not go on. From set up on July 3 to take down after the show on the 4th, there were more volunteers this year than ever. The Friends thank the 8 volunteers from the Estes Park Car Club – Craig Bigler, Kevin Spooner, Linda Amos, Pat McKinney, Howard Steinfath, John Zukowski, Will Rense and Ernie Petrocine who helped with the set up on July 3rd. Helping the day of the show, thanks goes to Jan Swaney, Marcia Gerritz, Loretta DeWitt, Madison Casey,

Mike Kirn, Judy Heider, Tara Moenning, Jim Gunlicks, Barb Cole, Bobbie Heisterkamp, John Nydegger, Carol Tanton, Kathy Littlejohn, Scott and Karen Thompson, Robert Sherrod, Derek Fortini, Kristopher and Kelly Harrison, Steve Kitely, Ron Springer, Richard Cross, Donna Ness, and Dave Prawzdik.

Thanks also to Carl Pomranka for recruiting sponsorships.

This year also introduced the event’s first-ever 50/50 raffle. Appreciation goes to Lynn Waring for her help with the necessary planning and set-up—and for overseeing the sales and drawing that day.

The Friends are especially grateful to all the business sponsors of the Coolest Car Show. This year the levels of sponsorships were set up at three levels. All the sponsors together combined for a contribution of $3,100, which assured the event could reach its fundraising goals.

At the Lamboroghini level, the show benefitted from direct and in-kind sponsorship from the Town of Estes Park, Poppys Pizza & Grill and Mama Rose’s Restaurant, the Estes Park News, and the Estes Park Trail-Gazette. At the Ferrari level, the Friends thank State Farm Insurance, realtor Mike Richardson, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, the Bank

of Estes Park, the Bank of Colorado, and the Ore Cart Rock Shop. At the Corvette Level, appreciation goes to Sweet Basilico Restaurant, Cheley Camp, US Bank, III (Triple “I”) and Marsha Sypher, Bruce Davies of Tour Estes Park, and Big O Tires.

The Friends also thank the helpful staff from the Events Center. They had all the equipment ready when the decorating team arrived on July 3. Staff were always available for last minute and unanticipated needs on the day of the show. And they always answered their phones!

Of course, we can’t forget the car entrants who make the show so exciting!

There was an eclectic range of 71 entrants, from a restored milk truck to muscle cars to a BMW i8 Hybrid Supercar (got a spare $165,000?!). We hope to see the entrants back next year!

Neal Standard, chair of the 2019 Coolest Car Show, is deeply grateful for the volunteers, the car entrants, and the sponsors who made the 2019 Coolest Car Show the most successful ever.

The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc., is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting the Museum through fundraising, publications, volunteerism, special projects and events.

A Summer Reading Program That Was Out Of This World The Estes Valley Library’s outer-spaceinspired 2019 Summer Reading Program is now in the record books. Astronaut hats off to you, our community of readers, for all your participation.

Many of you were motivated by our Summer Reading Challenge, announced last May. Could we, as a community, log 238,900 total reading minutes? That’s the distance to the Moon in miles.

Not only did you achieve that mighty goal, you added another 60,000 minutes on top of that—just in case there was any doubt.

Truly, a lunarsized accomplishment.

Readers were also motivated by the constellations of nifty prizes they earned for their reading accomplishments. 370 prizes were handed out to the four major age groups: babies, kids, teens, and adults.

Along the way, the library hosted 15 unique programs geared toward this year’s theme, “A Universe of Stories,” celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the first Moon landing. Thanks to Estes Park Memorial Observatory for three Stargazing nights—which all filled to capacity.

The “Meet the Astronaut” programs with Loren Shriver were a huge hit with adults and kids alike-our appreciation to Loren, the American Legion Post 119 and Estes Park Internationale Aviation Club.

We offered classes to satisfy your curiosity and pursue lifelong learning, as we ventured beneath evening skies with programs on astrophotography and night birding.

We had four book discussions for adults, teens, and kids. One addressed the cosmic question everyone wants to

know: “How *do* you burp in space?”based on the book of the same title. The answer: very carefully. Kids loved it!

Speaking of kids, one of the most valuable benefits of this program for young readers is avoiding the “summer slide.”

Studies have shown that children who read throughout the summer months return to school in the fall not needing the usual “catch-up time” to start back to learning. Our Youth Services team were grateful to join forces with the star-power of the Estes Park Learning Place and the Boys & Girls Club of Larimer County to reach more young readers than we ever have before.

We give galactic thanks to our major sponsor: the Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation. Their support assures literacy stays strong and accessible all summer for all readers.

In addition to those named above, we give ‘thank-yous’ to these stellar partners: Estes Park Escape Rooms, Estes Park Schools, the Estes Valley Community Center, the Estes Valley Fire Protection District, Poppy’s Restaurant, Reel Mountain Theater, Rocky Mountain Conservancy, and SummitStone Health Partners.

Whether it’s our local kids doing better in school—or our local adults rediscovering the joys of reading for pleasure— the Summer Reading Program has tangible benefits that last all year long.

Thanks to you, the Estes Valley has made it to the Moon, and beyond.

Where will we go next summer? We can’t wait to see. We do amazing things when we all read and look to the stars together.

Mountain Brokers 1200 Graves Ave. 970-586-5324

ences, sweeping them into tales of wayward voyages, unrequited love and the vibrantly colorful lives of the every-man beloved of many Irish tales. His unique talents with traditional Celtic instruments such as the concertina, bodhran, bones and mandolin, add an air of au-

thenticity to each piece and his stirringly rich bass voice provides the foundation for the hauntingly beautiful melodies.

No stranger to live performance, Matthew began performing at a very young age and has appeared on hundreds of stages nationally and internationally, delighting thousands with his Scottish swagger and homespun charm.

Matt especially honed his Celtic skills while living in Scotland among the people and culture that are his heritage and the inspiration for his music.

“Like Early Clancy Brothers, hale and hearty!” -Stuart Meyers WRFG-FM, Atlanta, 89.3 “Hauntingly beautiful, and very refreshing. Takes you back to a long forgotten time and place that still seems somehow familiar.” Carmen Allgood The Colorado Wave Come enjoy this wonderful music at the nice open air and acoustically pleasing location of Performance Park. Lawn chairs and blankets are welcome.

The 15th station will be Jesus, in all his glory, arising from the tomb. Father Jonathon “Jack” Ford will officiate a dedication celebration for this special added station on Sunday, August 18th following the worship service. Sr. Warden, Wayne Huff is coordinating this special unique station.

Father Wilbur “Bill” Wells started the Anglican Church with an alter service in 1979; 40 years ago. The building is a designed replica of the St. Francis of Assisi church in Italy. The “Dolorosa” Stations of the Cross path was created soon afterwards.

The “Dolorosa” path meanders through the ‘stations of the cross’ – each stop describing the sequence of Jesus’ last walk to the cross. Angels watch over the beautiful columbarium dispersed among the natural landscape. The views from this peaceful path are impressive; sighting

nearby mountain peaks, Dollar Lake, and the surrounding meadows. This short hike ends above a block wall and leads to the newest tomb area. Feel the presence of God while you experience this wonderful memorial garden. It’s been said to be the “most impressive half mile hike.”

There is also a CD available focusing on the Stations of the Cross which shows “God in Nature” here in the Rockies (cost is $15). They and other postcard items are located inside the quaint chapel that is also open to visitors anytime.

If you have, or have not had a chance to experience and enjoy the “Dolorosa” Stations of the Cross, please join us at the celebrating potluck picnic. You will be welcomed!

Author Book Signing At Macdonald Book Shop Leslie Verner, author of Invited: The Power of Hospitality in an Age of Loneliness, will sign books at Macdonald Book Shop on Friday, August 23 from 2 to 4 p.m.

Many people today feel lonely, isolated, and disconnected from God and others. We crave authentic community, but we have no idea where to start. We'd be glad to cultivate friendships; but honestly, who's got the time?

In Invited, writer Leslie Verner says real hospitality is not having a Pinterest-perfect table or well-appointed living room. True hospitality is not clean, comfortable, or controlled. It is an invitation to enter a sacred space together with friends and

strangers. Through vivid accounts from her life and travels in Uganda, China, and Tajikistan, and stories of visiting congregations in the United States, Verner shares stories of life around the table and how hospitality is at the heart of Christian community.

What if we in the West learned about hospitality from people around the globe? What if our homes became laboratories of belonging? Invited will empower you to open your home, get to know your neighbors, and prioritize people over tasks.

Holy hospitality requires more of Jesus and less of us. It leads not only to loving the stranger but to becoming the stranger.

Welcome to a new kind of hospitality.

The Baldpate Inn Summer Enchanted Evening Program On Glacial Geology On Wednesday, August 21st, 2019, at 7 p.m., The Baldpate Inn is pleased to welcome Magell Candelaria who will be speaking on the Glacial Geology of Rocky Mountain National Park.

This presentation will provide stunning visual documentation of various glacial features in RMNP supported with photos of glacier features from a recent trip to Alaska.

Photos from a flight over cirque and valley glaciers in the Chugach Mountains near Anchorage provide spectacular analog imagery to assist visualization of the alpine glacier environment of RMNP a mere 20-30,000 year ago. This presentation seeks to share observations, foster greater appreciation and better inform the public of the widespread glacial features of RMNP. These special characteristics are a large part of the reason millions of visitors come to Colorado and RMNP year after year.

Magell has authored or edited more than 30 published papers and abstracts on various topics and have given oral presentations at various geological societies as well as regional and national level technical conventions. He was the former President of Permian Basin Section SEPM and is an active member of Am. Assoc. Pet. Geol. since 1980. He is

In 2017 the Dolph and Phillip Swift families donated to the Lyons Redstone Museum a collection of artifacts honoring the descendants of the Lyons and Colorado pioneer families Swift/Bohn/Smith.

Among the artifacts was Charles P. Swift’s diary.

“December 7, 1941 – Sunday Pearl Harbor: - At about 0745 this morning I was awakened by the general alarm for general quarters. I decided it wasn’t a drill by the look on everyone’s face, so I hopped out of my bunk, scrambled up the ladder to the topside.. I looked around and saw planes diving from out of the sun ... We were caught with our pants down there is no doubt about it.”

So begins the World War II diary of Charles P. Swift. Charles P. Swift was born October 14, 1914 in Lyons, Colorado. Raised in Lyons, he graduated from Lyons High School in 1932.

Charles worked for the National Park Service in Rocky Mountain National Park. He joined the Civilian Conserva-

ated high school in the midst of the Great Depression and went on to join the military. The diary chronicles Swift’s life aboard the destroyer from December 7, 1941 through September 20, 1942.

In addition to the events of Pearl Harbor the USS Phelps saw action in the Coral Sea, Midway, Guadalcanal, Tulagi, and the Solomon Islands. Swift records days of battle, the human drama and toll of war, shipboard life, their journey through the pacific, as well as his desire for ice cream and letters from home.

The clarity and detail of Swift’s accounts honor those who served and tells their story as well as his. Due to his position as a radioman he was privy to information that was not readily available to others. His record of events is an invaluable research resource to World War II historians and museums. The Lyons Redstone Museum has transcribed the diary, making it accessible to the general public. It is the centerpiece of the Swift/Bohn/Smith Family exhibit at the museum. The display also includes family photographs, documents, military uniforms, Swift’s medals, a video history interview from July 1994, and many more artifacts.

We encourage you to stop by the Lyons Redstone Museum to see the diary, read the transcript, and learn more about Charles P. Swift and this Colorado and Lyons pioneer family. Vote and share out the link with friends, family–whoever! The Most Significant Artifact will be announced August 26th.

Rolling Stone Lauds Artist Performing At The Old Gallery In Allenspark

When Rolling Stone Magazine named Jackson Emmer as one of 10 New Country Artists You Need To Know, it resulted in a mixed bag of emotions for the Carbondale-based songwriter. “I was overwhelmed and brimming with gratitude, ” said Emmer. “However, the Ego part of me felt validated for the years I spent working on my music with zero national recognition. I make music because I love it, but some part of me hoped that my sound would reach more people,” he said.

Rolling Stone's interest has snowballed into a larger audience for Emmer’s songs. “I'm very grateful they, and their writer Brittney McKenna, decided to write me up. It changed my life,” he said.

Emmer is one of three talented singer songwriters performing at The Old Gallery in Allenspark at Songwriters in the Round this Saturday, August 17 at 7 p.m. It will be curated by Theresa Peterson, the founder of Boulder-In-TheRound at eTown in Boulder. Bill Huston, guitarist and vocalist for Monocle Band will also take the stage. They will take turns sharing their original songs and the stories behind them.

Emmer, who averages 100 performances every year, has been earning the majority of his income as an artist since 2012. “I find I can be a full-time musician 12-18 months at a time, and then I’ll have a dry spell forcing me to find a part time job for two to three months until I hit the road again.

When he does hit the road, it’s in his new Ford cargo van, which is a major upgrade from the minivan he owned be-

fore. “My current rig is outfitted with a bed and a small kitchen so I can cook on the road instead of living at the mercy of fast food options. Having a safe, comfortable bed and healthy food is essential to sustaining a life as a touring musician,” he said.

This is Emmer’s first performance in the Estes Park area. “I’ve heard nothing but great things about it and I am looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about.”

“We’re so excited about this lineup of singer-songwriters for Songwriters in the Round,” said community host Steve Weaver. “The Old Gallery is one of the top listening rooms in the region, with great acoustics and an attentive audience.”

Tickets to Songwriters in the Round are $15 each and available at The Old Gallery or www.theoldgallery.org. There is a cash bar. Adults only.

The famed Takács Strong Quartet will also perform at The Old Gallery on Saturday, September 14 at 4:30 p.m. Tickets to the Takács String Quartet are $50 in advance.

The Old Gallery is a center for community, arts and visitors and is located at 14863 Hwy. 7 in Allenspark. It is home to 19 accomplished artists and provides entertainment, educational and social services to the Peak to Peak mountain communities. It is only 20 minutes from Estes Park and Lyons. To view a complete list of all events and to purchase tickets visit www.theoldgallery.org.

Artist Taps Into “Rural-ness” For Inspiration

Whether you’re viewing artist Terry Kasprzak’s drawings, photographs, oil paintings or watercolors, you’ll find themes that embrace what he calls “ruralness.” To him, it’s a profound awareness of place, ingenuity, hard work and history.

“Rural-ness speaks to strength and doggedness of our country,” said Kasprzak. And the subject matter is boundless, like his self-proclaimed “overabundance of inspiration. ” “I don’t know where all this inspiration comes from.

I just have too many ideas and not enough time to do them all. I guess it’s about perception,” he said.

Kasprzak 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. His work has been featured there for the past three years and he’s a popular drawing teacher, as well.

He is passionate about drawing and believes it is the bones behind an idea. He also works in watercolor, which he considers an “interesting challenge.” He loves the smell of oil paints and admits

to enjoying getting all those different colors on him. And photography has a dual appeal. “By itself, it’s art. It’s also a means to an end, providing a great sketchbook for other artistic media,” he said.

Kasprzak studied at Northern Illinois University where the art department emphasized creativity instead of artistic technique. “This provided a somewhat difficult learning environment, but one that proved to be very beneficial, giving me the opportunity to pursue my personal directions in the world of art, ” he said. He enjoys capturing mountain scenes, grasslands and historic architecture.

When asked what he likes about The Old Gallery in Allenspark, he said, “It’s an escape from a hectic world and a place to dream in.”

The Old Gallery is a nonprofit center for community, the arts and visitors, located at 14863 Hwy. 7 in Allenspark.

While it’s only 20 minutes from Estes Park, it’s nothing like it. “This is a small mountain hamlet where visitors and residents alike can slow down and enjoy the peace and beauty of the Rocky Mountains.

Kasprzak has called Loveland home for 53 years, but he loves being a part of the Allenspark art community. “It’s so worth the drive,” said Kasprzak.

“There’s such a range of artwork available here.

And the thing to remember is when you make an art purchase, you’re buying more than an image. You’re getting a part of the artist’s life and all the years of effort to develop a style or styles. ” For a complete list of artists and events at The Old Gallery visit www.theoldgallery.org.

Rey Olson Estes Park resident Rey Olson, died at his home Tuesday morning, August 13, 2019. He was 91 years old. Services are pending.

Lyons Cemetery Tour Learn the history of the Lyons Cemetery and the stories of some of those buried there on this rare tour. Many of Lyons' most prestigious citizens are buried there. Hoag, a miner, who died in 1888 is the first written evidence of a burial in the Lyons Cemetery. The oldest readable tombstone is engraved, â&#x20AC;&#x153;October 21, 1890, Son of Ella and D. Hartline.â&#x20AC;?

In 2001, Fran Brackett (deceased) was the president of the Lyons Cemetery Committee, and she and historian Diane Goode Benedict tracked down all the graves, including several that were not marked, and published a booklet.

The Burial Booklet can be inspected or purchased at the museum. The cemetery is maintained mainly with volunteer labor. A burial list can be found on the Town of Lyons web pages.

Bob Brunson Estes Park resident Bob Brunson died Thursday, August 8, 2019 at his Good Samaritan Village apartment. Robert Bruce Brunson was born June 2, 1921 in Abilene, KS. His parents were Elmer and Alice (Jones) Brunson. Bob grew up on a small dairy farm near Leavenworth, KS where he went to high school and became an Eagle Scout. After high school, Bob attended Kansas State Agriculture School before joining the Navy. In 1942, he graduated from Corpus Christi Naval Air Station with wings as a Naval Aviator. Bob flew Corsairs off the USS Enterprise with the first US Navy night fighter squadron. After returning stateside, he was assigned as a night-fighter instructor and later Chief Engineering Test Pilot in Vero Beach, FL. Bob graduated from Kansas State University in 1949 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. His engineering career took him around the world including projects in Israel and Algeria.

Bob was active with the National Ski Patrol and the Colorado Mountain Club. He later became a long-time member of the SkiMeisters (a group of active seniors) and was honored to still be skiing at the age of 90. He also enjoyed hiking, backpacking and tennis.

Bob volunteered at Rocky Mountain National Park and he enjoyed the Big Horn Brigade, Chow Busters, Elk Bugling, front desk staff, and participating in the preservation of our natural resources. Bob was also a member

of the Aviation Club, the Rotary Club of Estes Park, the Duck Race Committee, and a Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market volunteer. In 2013, Bob was honored as the Rotarian of The Year. He was Co-Organizer with Vern Mertz of the Honor Flights of Northern Colorado.

Bob is survived by his three children; Caroline Bull (Steven Anderson) of Brainerd, MN, David Brunson (Marilynn) of Madison, WI, and Rebecca Heimark (Gary) of Aitkin, MN, 10 grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. He is further survived by his siblings; Virginia Leever of Findley, OH, Richard Brunson of Santa Fe, NM, and Edith Rasmussen of Kalamazoo, MI and many nieces and nephews.

To the end, Bob maintained his love of flying. He skydived at the age of 82.

Bob enjoyed many friendships, whether over a cup of coffee, a club project, volunteering in the Park, hiking, biking, skiing, canoeing, or flying.

Bob felt blessed and thankful to have had a very wonderful life and anticipated a new adventure without a cumbersome body. He also knew he would not be able to report back on this next great adventure. At Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request there will be no funeral, but a celebration of his life will be held at a later date.

Memorial contributions may be made to Rocky Mountain Conservancy in care of Allnutt Funeral Service 1302 Graves Avenue Estes Park, CO 80517.

See www.allnuttestespark to send a message to Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family.

Stanley Franklin The Franklin family would like to invite all who knew Stanley Franklin to gather together to celebrate his life.

Please join family and friends to celebrate on August 24, 2019 at 1 p.m. at 1436 Narcissus Drive in Estes Park. Bring your fun memories and stories to share.

If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it, please email your stories to Russ Franklin at rjfswimguy@msn.com or, if you have any questions, need more information, please use the same contact information for Russ.
