Chip Seal Program Begins In July Ballot issue 1A sales tax funds at work improving local streets A contractor for the Town of Estes Park will begin chip sealing multiple roads in Estes Park beginning July 11, weather permitting. This work consists of spraying asphalt oil on the existing street surface, followed by the placement of small aggregate stone (“chips�) to those areas. The chips are then compacted for maximum adherence to the asphalt oil. The excess chips are then swept from the surface and a surface fog seal coat of asphalt oil is applied to hold them in place. Roads currently designated for chip seal are: Arapahoe Lane, Pawnee Drive, Prospect Estates Drive, Ute Lane, University Drive, Cherokee Drive, Bristlecone Court, Solomon Drive, Morgan Street, Cherokee Court, Indian Trail, Steele Court and Bailey Lane. If funding allows, additional work may be performed. Project updates and a tentative schedule, when available, will be provided at www.estes.org/streetimprovements.

Once construction begins, it is expected that all work will be completed within one week, weather permitting.

Construction is not expected to result in any full road closures, and flaggers will be present during active construction to direct traffic. Local access will be maintained although on-street parking will be prohibited during work and temporary closures to private driveways may be necessary.

This contract is part of the larger 2024 Street Improvement Program (STIP) which aims to improve the average street system Pavement Condition Index (PCI) from 65 (existing poor condition) to 73 (fair condition) by 2024. The plan, which receives its funding from the voter-approved 2014 Ballot Issue 1A sales tax, includes extensive preventative maintenance which will improve road conditions throughout the Town.

For more information, please visit www.estes.org/streetimprovements.

For more information on this project, please contact the Public Works Department at 970-577-3587. To receive Town news and/or meeting agendas in your email inbox, please visit www.estes.org. More Town news is available at www.facebook.com/townofestesparkco and www.twitter.com/townofestespark.

Asphalt Paving And Patching Begins June 20 Across Town Ballot issue 1A sales tax funds at work improving local streets A contractor for the Town of Estes Park will begin paving multiple roads in Estes Park beginning June 20, weather permitting. This work consists of overlaying or removing the existing asphalt and replacing it with a new asphalt surface, depending on the condition of the existing pavement. The contractor will patch large sections of additional roads in Town. Roads designated for paving are Axminster Lane, Devon Drive, Golf Course Road and Manford Avenue.

Roads designated for patching are Brodie Avenue, Community Drive, Curry Drive, Grand Estates Drive and Spruce Drive. If funding allows, additional work may be performed. Project updates and a tentative schedule, when available, will be provided at www.estes.org/streetimprovements.

Once construction begins, it is expected that all work will be completed within one to two weeks, with construction on each specific road lasting only few days. Construction is not expected to result in any full road closures, and

flaggers will be present during active construction to direct traffic. Local access will be maintained although onstreet parking will be prohibited during work and there may be temporary closures to private driveways.

US 34 Canyon Closed To Public Traffic From Late October Through June 2017 Permitted residents, emergency services and business will still have access The Colorado Department of Transportation announced today that beginning in late October and continuing through early June of 2017, travel on US 34 between Estes Park and Loveland will be limited to Big Thompson Canyon residents only seven days a week.

Permitted residents will be allowed access between the hours of 6 to 8:30 a.m. and 4 to 7 p.m.

This summer the highway will remain open to traffic in both directions, but when work begins in July, there will be short-duration lane closures for general construction activities and traffic stops for rock blasting work between Mile Points 77 and 81 (from just east of Drake to the Cedar Cove area). People driving through this area should plan for up to 20- to 30-minute delays throughout the summer.

This fall when travel is restricted to canyon residents, only drivers displaying the requisite vehicle permit will be allowed to follow pilot cars in either the eastbound or westbound direction between Drake and Cedar Cove. With the closure area being about 3 ½ miles long, canyon residents will encounter some delays as each pilot car completes its passage through the work zone and is ready to make the return trip in the opposite direction. This phase of work, which will focus on the east end of the canyon between mile markers 77 - 80, will start in October and continue through early June 2017.

"We took into consideration all the public comments received in several public meetings, emails and phone calls, conversations with emergency service provides, school bus drivers, city agencies and various other project partners, when we developed this traffic management plan for the first phase of work between Drake and Loveland," said James Usher, US 34 Big Thompson Canyon Project Director.

The only access to US 34 from late October through June 2017 will be canyon residents, emergency services and people doing business in the canyon (i.e. waste haulers, propane companies, package delivery, etc.) through permits. In September, CDOT will distribute detailed infor-

mation on how to obtain permits and how this process will work.

All others will need to use US 36 and State Highway 66 to travel between Estes Park and Loveland.

"We realize that while this traffic control schedule accommodates most of the concerns we heard from the community, it won't address every concern and cater to everyone's personal schedule. In the interest of maintaining safe access to canyon residents and completing this first phase of rock blasting work as quickly as possible, it was determined that this was the best option available," added Usher.

This traffic control schedule also enables most of the stringent travel restrictions to occur during the tourism "off season" to minimize the impact on area businesses. While there will be traffic impacts in subsequent summers that include sections of one-lane travel through the canyon, this summer there will only be short-term traffic stops when blasting work is done. Through travel will be maintained in the canyon this summer and all businesses will be open and accessible.

US 34 Big Thompson Canyon was heavily damaged during the 2013 floods with many homes damaged and more than 100 air-lifted evacuations performed. The canyon and its residents also suffered from flooding in 1976. As a result of these two events, CDOT has been studying the hydraulic flow of the river in the canyon and its impact on the road and bridges along its path while looking for safety improvements and resiliency solutions to prevent/protect against future flood events.

Estes Park Enters American In Bloom And Communities In Bloom Contests For the fourth consecutive year, Estes Park will participate in the America in Bloom program, and for the second consecutive year in the international component, Communities in Bloom. The community was entered into the contests by the Town of Estes Park and YMCA of the Rockies. Judges from both organizations will tour Estes Park July 18 and 19.

Community members and businesses are invited to become involved at the ground level.

The Estes Park in Bloom steering committee has been focused on community engagement in 2016. A series of educational talks were held from February through May focusing on gardening topics, trees and floral displays. This free series will resume in the fall. Next the committee will be implementing the “Business Bright Spot” program which will recognize businesses with beautifully maintained landscapes, floral displays and tidy store fronts. The committee will award businesses a certificate of appreciation and a traveling sign to place outside signifying that they are the featured “Business Bright Spot.” Members of the steering committee will choose and announce the winner every other Friday beginning mid-June. Businesses are also being encouraged to display hanging baskets and flower pots or beds at their stores. For more information please visit www.estes.org/estesparkinbloom.

For the 2016 America in Bloom entry, the community will be in the Circle of Champions for the second year. Other communities in the Circle of Champions are Echo, Oregon, Gallipolis, Ohio and Greendale, Indiana. For its first entry in 2013, Estes Park received three national America in Bloom awards; the nationwide winner in its population category of 4,001-7,000 residents, outstanding achievement award for “Landscaped Areas” and a special award for “Most Effective Use of Bold Foliage.” For its second entry in 2014, the community was honored as the nationwide winner in its population category of 4,001-7,000 residents with a four out of five “bloom rating” and a special mention for overall impression as a result of the extensive flood recovery efforts. Due to its many achievements, the community of Estes Park also advanced to America in Bloom’s prestigious Circle of Champions, becoming the newest community in the program to receive that honor. For its third entry in 2015, the community was awarded the prestigious five out of

five “bloom rating” and a special mention for overall impression as well as an outstanding achievement award for Landscaped Areas.

In addition, Estes Park has entered Communities in Bloom for the second year. Communities in Bloom is an international program committed to fostering civic pride, environmental responsibility and beautification through community involvement, with a focus on enhancing green spaces in communities.

Like America in Bloom, this program offers on-site, one-on-one mentoring and coaching by a team of judges, with participation from communities in the United States, Canada, Asia and several European countries. Estes Park will be competing against Municipality of Jasper, Alberta, Canada and Town of Stettler, Alberta, Canada. For its first entry in 2015, the community was awarded a five out five “bloom rating” and a special mention for partnerships forged among local government organizations, non-profits and private businesses.

America in Bloom is a non-profit, nationwide program promoting beautification through education and community involvement, while utilizing flowers, plants, trees, and other lifestyle enhancements. Locally known as Estes Park in Bloom, the project is a community-wide effort involving businesses, residents and Town government. America in Bloom is the only organization of its kind offering an award program with on-site, one- onone mentoring and coaching by a team of expert judges who will provide the local committee with a detailed, written evaluation following its visit. The evaluation is based upon six criteria: floral displays, urban forestry, landscaped areas, heritage preservation, environmental efforts, and the overall impression/cleanliness of the community.

Since America in Bloom was founded in 2001, more than 230 cities in 45 states have participated. For more information or to become involved in the Estes Park in Bloom project, contact Keri Kelly at 970-577-3782 or email kkelly@estes.org.

EPNEWS.COM There are two blisters on my right hand today: one on my thumb pad and the other on the heel of my palm. The blisters are from holding a hammer to pound metal, forcing a thick rod of iron, heated to 2100º into a thin, pointed, curved hook. That’s alotta hammering! So only two blisters? Not bad after my first day as an 1860s blacksmith apprentice.

My debut at the blacksmith’s shop at Mahaffie Stagecoach Stop was steamy hot but that didn’t matter, I still had to dress as women did back in the 1860s. In my case, I was playing the role of a woman whose blacksmith husband might have died so she had to take over his business to survive. I wore a petticoat under my hoop skirt under my long-sleeved dress under my apron under my leather blacksmithing apron with a headscarf tied around my hair and a leather glove on my left hand (the hand that pulls the hot rod from the fire). I couldn’t let my bangs show because bangs didn’t become stylish until 1880. My black leather shoes were comfortable when I put them on but after standing on the rocky, dirt floor for several hours with no extra cushion in the sole, my feet were begging for some Birkenstocks. Nonetheless, I forged on.

Mahaffie Stagecoach Stop and Farm is the last Santa Fe stagecoach stop open to the public and is a certified partner with the National Park Service on the California National Historic Trail. The staff dresses up in 1860s attire and farms the land, tends the livestock, gives stagecoach rides, cooks in the kitchen, gardens, launders and generally lives life as people did 160 years ago. The blacksmith repairs tires for wagon wheels (the tire is the metal rim around a wagon wheel. They haven’t always been made of shock-absorbing rubber), and also repairs chains, makes rivets, hooks, boot scrapers, and metal odds and ends as needed. A farrier on staff specializes in shoeing horses so the blacksmith at Mahaffie is spared that challenging job. Good thing because the one time I tried to make friends with a horse, it mistook my finger for a carrot and chomped down on it. I don’t ever need to be nose to hoof with one of those hulking equine.

(Excuse me, I just had to leave to pull a tick out of my side. This is the second one I’ve had this summer. After being in the

wilderness yesterday, I did a tick check before I showered and found no ticks. Where did the little bugger hide out until now, and how did it get from the ground, up my body to where it attached itself to my torso? (Ticks can’t fly.) The first tick I had, which you read about in this column last month, left a scar where it drilled into my tender skin at my hip bone. I tell ya, life in Kansas is dangerous!)

(The thing about having freckles is that now, every time I look at my arm or my leg, my foot or my bellybutton, I think I see a tick. Except for the two times I actually found a tick, the brown spots that make my heart leap for a split instant are just freckles. I think I feel those pinhead ticks in my hair and in the bend of my knees and see them in the crook of my elbow and around my ankles. The reality is, I’m just a paranoid freckle receptacle. It’s hard to be Irish!)

(I know what you’re thinking: C’mon, nobody actually inspects her bellybutton.

It’s just a phrase we use to describe someone who’s bored. But I defend my position.

We should all inspect our bellybuttons because it’s been proven: ticks love navels.)

Back to blacksmithing! While I was pounding softened metal as if it were stiff Play-Doh with a heavy hammer, my arm becoming weaker with each strike against the anvil, a song repeated in my head in rhythm with my strikes. It was a song I sang with the Lincoln East High School (Nebraska) Singers in the late ’70s, and is the prayer of someone asking to be put to the test and made stronger by his/her god. The lyrics are a poem by Carl Sandburg called “Prayers of Steel”: Lay me on an anvil, O God. Beat me and hammer me into a crowbar.

Let me pry loose old walls.

Let me lift and loosen old foundations.

Apropos for a woman attempting a new skill as part of a new life in a new place (while retaining the good old foundations!).

Managing Infiltration And Inflow In Wastewater Collection System The summer tourism season in Estes Park is upon us. What does that mean for Upper Thompson Sanitation District?

The influx of tourists and seasonal residents to Estes Park during the summer results in operational changes to the District’s wastewater collection and treatment infrastructure. In the summer months the average hydraulic and solids loading into the collection system and treatment plant more than double to create an intensified environment of process control.

In previous articles I have discussed challenges the District faces to keep the 40-year-old wastewater treatment plant in excellent working order. In this article I will explain the three major components of wastewater flow in a sanitary sewer system and the importance of regular maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation of the underground sewer lines.

collection system is comprised of 1) sanitary wastewater from residential and commercial sources, 2) groundwater infiltration, and 3) rainfall derived inflow from surface sources. Sewer systems will experience some level of infiltration and inflow (I/I) as a result of age, installation quality, and proximity to I/I sources such as creeks, rivers, lakes, and storm water channels.

Small quantities of I/I are acceptable and incorporated into the design of collection and treatment systems. However, large quantities of I/I put undue strain on the collection and treatment systems, which, in turn, affect the District’s operation and capital budgets and directly impact services rates. Although I/I is typically low in solids, I/I causes dilution of the wastewater resulting in decreased solids removal efficiencies and increased pumping power costs. The 2013 flood is an extreme example of excessive I/I entering the District’s wastewater collection and treatment system. The 2013 flood resulted in increased infiltration from an elevated groundwater table and increased inflow from high creek and river flows. Although the creeks and river levels dropped over a few months, the groundwater table remained elevated and resulted in infiltration for well over a year.

As collection pipes are located underground and out of sight, problems often go undetected until unplanned emergen-

cies occur throughout the system. System emergencies include sewer backups that result in sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs). SSOs, if not contained, cause contamination of nearby freshwater creeks, rivers, and lakes as well as regulatory fines from the State of Colorado. The District monitors, inspects, and assesses the condition of more than 92 miles of collection system us-

ing jetting and televising equipment. Pipe damage and other causes for sewer backups are identified and repaired to minimize unexpected emergency costs and disruption of service.

The continued inspection and assessment of the collection system allows the District to manage risk, avoid emergencies, prioritize repair and replacement projects, and plan for future expenditures.

Interestingly, one of the most common problems District staff encounter while assessing sewer line condition is root intrusion. Roots enter the collection system through cracks in pipes, searching for water. Root intrusion leads to obstructions of the sewer line flow and sanitary sewer overflows, if not eliminated. Accordingly, District Rules and Regulations prohibit landscaping within sewer line easements to limit root intrusion of sewer lines and to provide access for system operation and maintenance.

Clay pipe was the standard material used in the early 1970s to build sewer lines. Much of the UTSD collection system is 40-year-old clay pipe and is in need of repair and/or replacement with modern materials such as PVC pipe. It is difficult to determine the quantity of inflow and infiltration in a collection system due to cracks, joints, and displaced pipes. District inspections and assess-

EPNEWS.COM ments lead to the development of a priority list for maintenance, rehabilitation, and repair of the sewer system to reduce I/I. Annually the District budgets for maintenance, incremental repairs, and rehabilitation of the collection system.

Approximately 62% of the District’s 2016 capital budget is allocated to sewer line improvement projects such as point repairs, manhole rehabilitation, collection line replacement, and force main rehabilitation.

The hydraulic capacity, or flow, is a primary performance measure for a waste-

water collection system and treatment plant.

Sewer systems and treatment plants are designed around expected average and peak flows.

Excess I/I including storm water and groundwater entering the sewer system displaces wastewater flow capacity, burdens operation and maintenance processes, and reduces the life expectancy of treatment structures and equipment. The District’s planned infrastructure improvements reduce I/I and

allows future collection system upgrades.

As a result, treatment plant capacity expansion projects are implemented for wastewater customers instead of inflow and infiltration.

Open House and BBQ Join Upper Thompson Sanitation District for its 2nd Annual Open House on Friday, June 24, 2016, from 4 to 7 p.m.

Bring your family to enjoy burgers, hot dogs, and refreshments; chat with the staff; meet the Board of Directors; and tour the treatment plant. We are celebrating our 45th anniversary and 40 years of

My last two weeks have been so busy with commitments, doctor appointments, car out of whack, planting flowers and the normal every day events of living that I missed writing my bi-weekly column for last Friday. I apologize. I still do not have a car and am either walking everywhere or calling on friends for rides. Thank goodness I have a lot of friends!

We had a big pot luck picnic last Sunday as a going away party for our pastor, Father Joe Hartman. My friend Judy was kind enough to pick me up first for church and then take me to the marina where we all gathered. But poor Judy, in doing so, she left her potato salad in my refrigerator while we went to church. We came back to the house and got my dish of baked macaroni and forgot her salad.

No problem as there was more food than anyone could eat.

I had decided to make the baked macaroni instead of salad and was glad that I did. It disappeared before you could say “So long big dish of macaroni.” I’m happy that those who got to have some of my dish enjoyed it but am sorry I didn’t make a second one. I will give you the recipe but I make it up as I go along, so you may have to add a little more milk or salt, etc.

Esther’s Four Cheese Baked Macaroni Serves 10-12 as side dish (six as main dish) 350 pre-heated oven Grease a 13 x 9 baking dish Ingredients ½ lb. large elbow macaroni, salted, cooked and drained.

4 ounces of cream cheese ½ lb. grated sharp or extra sharp cheddar cheese ¼ lb. grated Fontina cheese (or you could use Monterey Jack)

Page 13

½ cup Panko bread crumbs 5 Tbs. butter, divided into 3 and 2 Tbs. ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese 3-4 Tbs. flour 3-4 cups milk Salt and pepper and nutmeg Mix bread crumbs, 2 Tbs. butter and Parmesan cheese together and set aside.

Make Béchamel sauce with flour and 3 Tbs. butter and 2 cups of milk. Salt and pepper to taste. Add a couple of dashes of grated nutmeg. Melt in the cream cheese and then the other two cheeses.

Thin with 1-2 cups of milk. Actually I used 1 more cup but added the fourth cup later as the cheese and macaroni absorbed the first milk additions. You want it to be just a bit soupy as it will dry out in the baking. Pour pasta into prepared dish and then mix in the cheese sauce.

Sprinkle the top with the bread crumbs.

Bake about 30-40 minutes until hot and bubbly then place under broiler to brown and gratin the top bread crumbs.

As I stated, you could use another cheese other than Fontina or two different cheddars, the cream cheese is one of the ingredients that make it so good.

I will miss Father Joe but he will be happy in his new role in his new parish.

We wish him love, happiness and peace.

Estes Park Archives Program June 18: Forks

A bird's-eye view of Drake in the 1940s, with a close-up of the Forks Hotel (inset) taken no earlier than 1907. Photograph courtesy Estes Park Archives

There was business activity at the Forks even before there was a county road through the Big Thompson Canyon, before there was ever a post office, and then a community, of Drake.

How did folks get to the Forks in the 1890s, and what were they doing there?

Join the Estes Park Archives this Saturday, June 18, at the River Forks Inn on 1601 West Highway 34 for a one-hour program devoted to photographs and memories of the old Forks Hotel in Drake.

Long-time Estes Park residents are most familiar with Joe Mills' stint as one

of the early managers of the Forks, but there were a host of other proprietors, before and after, some of whom were more colorful than Joe. For the first time, an attempt will be made to reconstruct the complete list of Forks owners and managers (or what predated or postdated the Forks at this location) from 1900 forward.

The free program begins at 1:00 p.m.

Beverages are available at the bar, along with a limited food service. Reservations are not required, but interested firsttimers can call 970-586-4889 for more details, or to arrange a ride.

Acclaimed Artist Don Weller Wins Big At Windows To The West Art Show

Don Weller and his painting “Lunch Time” with Windows To The West Art Show Chairman, Howell Wright.

A Western art show is very much like a rodeo in that both artists and rodeo cowboys invest a lot of money traveling to an event in the hope of winning big.

Well Don Weller did just that. He traveled from his home in Oakley, Utah and placed five of his works in competition for two awards, People’s Choice and Artist Choice. Don is recognized nationally as one of the best Western watercolorist in the business and his work has been recognized in books on Western art, in magazine articles, and on the covers on national magazines. He has received numerous awards for his work and his work is hanging in the finest galleries in America. Still he was in competition with the work of 50 other artist displaying 250 pieces of art in five different mediums with subject matter ranging from landscapes, to wildlife, to modern and historic cowboy and Native American cultures.

The People’s Choice award ($500) was based on votes submitted by guests attending the Saturday and Sunday shows.

This is an important award because basically the general public is telling us what caught their eye, what raised their interest a notch above all the other great art they viewed at the show. The People selected a Don Weller watercolor titled “Lunch Time.” This painting has brilliant background colors a blue sky, and a

snow capped mountain range. The eye falls to the mid ground scene of an old ranch corral with saddled horses tied up and waiting for their riders to finish a lunch time meal. With his use of color and composition Don tells a story that apparently resonated well with the general public.

His painting and his story also resonated well with his fellow artists because they selected “Lunch Time” for the Artist Choice award ($500). To have your piers select what you do is a special honor and Don commented “For and artist to receive any type of recognition for his art is great but to have fellow professionals give you that recognition, well, that is really special.”

Last year, at the first Windows to the West Art Show and Sale, when “After You,” a pastel by July Kramer Cole, was purchased by a local collector that started what we hope will become a tradition. So in the spirit of keeping each year’s Artist Award piece in Estes Park, Don’s “Lunch Time” was purchased by a local collector ($3,600). As part of this new tradition, next year’s show marketing piece will feature a watercolor painting by Don Weller. Look forward to what this will look like and look forward to the 3rd Windows to the West Art Show and Sale June 2-4, 2017.

Classic Rock Songs-And The Cars That Inspired Them On July 4

The greatest car-themed songs of the rock-and-roll era will be performed liveagainst a dazzling backdrop of shiny chrome, tail fins, polished fenders, and Americana-themed nostalgia. The 18th Annual Coolest Car Show takes place this July 4th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Estes Park Event Center, located at Stanley Fairgrounds.

This year’s event welcomes the popular Denver-based band Ugly Rumor, per-

rows of classic and vintage vehicles— everything from Ford Model Ts to today’s state-of-the-art electrics. There will be local car owners from Estes Park and many more from throughout Colorado, as well as states as far away as Illinois.

There will be a “Coolest Kids Car Corner” with car-related games, along with arts and crafts. And attendees can get their picture drawn by local caricaturist Tim Buck, or create a fun memento at

forming outside the Event Center beginning at 12:00 that afternoon. The band has gained an enthusiastic regional following with its covers of popular hits from the rock era.

“Together,” the band notes, “we produce a synergy of sound that provides a dynamic, danceable and thoroughly enjoyable rock-and-roll experience that unlocks memories from the past.” The band’s July 4 playlist will feature some of the rock era’s favorite car-themed hits, including “Six Days on the Road,” “Pink Cadillac,” and “Road House.”

Joining the rock band Ugly Rumor to offer live music will be Estes Park’s local folk musicians, the Mountain Music Makers, beginning at 10 a.m.

Admission to the Coolest Car Show is only $5 for adults, or $2.50 for young people ages six to 17. Children five and under attend free. Tickets will be on sale that day in front of the Event Center main entrance, as well as inside the lobby.

Spanning indoors and outdoors, the Coolest Car Show features rows and

the Estes Park Photo Booth operated by Beth Headley.

History-storyteller Kurtis Kelly (appearing as Enos Mills) will welcome guests throughout the day to screenings of the slide-show “An Auto History of Early Estes Park,” filled with images of historic postcards capturing all the thrills of early automobiling, when “locomobiles” navigated narrow but alluring mountain roads.

Food and refreshments will be on sale at the Event Center. Concessions open that morning at 11 a.m.

The Coolest Car Show is sponsored by the Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation. All proceeds from the event go to support the Estes Park Museum and its mission to preserve and celebrate the history and heritage of the Estes Park area.

The Museum Friends are still welcoming sponsors and exhibitors. Register your car entry at the Estes Park Museum (200 4th Street / 970-577-3766) through June 29, or on-site at the Event Center on July 4 beginning at 8 a.m. (space permitting).

Fine Arts Guild Of The Rockies Welcomes Brassworks To Performance Park June 18

Event #2 of the Fine Arts Guild of the Rockies 2016 Summer Series at Performance Park headlines with the amazing Rocky Mountain Brassworks June 18th at 7 p.m.!

Rocky Mountain Brassworks is composed of 35 (typically) players on brass and percussion instruments. Their repertoire is flexible, consisting of original works, orchestral transcriptions, marches, Broadway show tunes, hymn tunes, and novelty numbers.

Except for trombones, all instruments are conical in design, producing a mellow, rich sound that has a wide dynamic and colorful variety. The two or three percussionists are sometimes called upon to play as many as twenty instruments.

Most notable in the composition is the

absence of trumpets and French horns.

All the music (with the exception of the bass trombone) is written in treble clef.

This allows for easier transitioning for players from one part to another.

Brassworks' mission is "to promote the British-style brass band tradition, to educate and inspire young musicians, enrich the musical experience of the public, and provide a challenging as well as enjoyable environment for its members."

The Fine Arts Guild invites you to enjoy a summer Saturday evening and a very special performance June 18th at 7 p.m. Performance Park is located at 417 W. Elkhorn in Estes Park.

The concert is free, but donations for EPHS scholarships are gratefully accepted.

Estes Arts District Tuesday Night Live To Feature Will Thomas

The Estes Arts District is proud to present Will Thomas at its third Tuesday Night Live event in Performance Park on June 21st at 7 p.m.

Will Thomas is a talented young musi-

cian and Estes Park local who has grown up with music all around him.

His father and father’s friends play bluegrass and perform as the band Reintarnation. This exposure has fostered Will's own strong love of music. He has played mandolin for six years and guitar for 2 1/2 years. Professional influences include Passenger, The Beatles (Paul specifically), Ed Sheeran, Chris Thile (mandolin), and Mumford and Sons.

Will's appreciates a wide variety of music, and he hopes to seriously study it after high school.

Please grab a blanket and welcome Will to the stage at Performance Park, 417 W. Elkhorn, Estes Park on June 21st at 7 p.m. The concert is free but donations happily accepted.

YMCA Of The Rockies Chapel Ministry “Theater For The Thirsty”

It is time again for the perennial visit from “Theater for the Thirsty” at the 2016 YMCA Summer Worship Fest hosted by the chapel ministry. Always a favorite, specializing in entertaining, music-infused, funny, thought-provoking, redemptive, soul stirring and imaginative theater, “Theater of the Thirsty” creators Jeremiah and Vanessa Gamble, have the ability to bring new perspective to the people whose stories are told in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. You

might find yourself laughing out loud.

This year’s “Theater for the Thirsty” performances are on June 19th, 2016 in Hyde Chapel at the YMCA of the Rockies. The morning presentation, called The Rough and the Holy, will be part of the worship service at 10:00 a.m. which starts with a hymn sing.

The performance is an engaging, honest, emotionally charged one man play discovering the life of Jesus, friend of sinners.

The longer “Theater for the Thirsty” evening performance at 7 p.m. in Hyde Chapel is called The Psalm King. Recounting some of the struggles and triumphs of King David in word and song, gesture and abbreviated costume this performance brings you full circle to King David from a different perspective. You might even find some parallels in your own life.

When they aren’t touring, “Theater for the Thirsty” has now found a performing venue and teaching home in West St. Paul, Minnesota to share their zany craft of theater with children. They have been creating and performing original works, professionally, for over fifteen years.

Through faith based programs and activities, the YMCA of the Rockies Chapel Ministry seeks to create a culture that is spiritually engaging, safe and respectful of all.

Diving Into Local History: June Programs & Tours Through Estes Park Museum  Running now through September Downtown History Walking Tours Abner Sprague was hired to plat the downtown district in 1905 by Cornelius Bond and the Estes Park Town Company. Within weeks, lots along the street named "Elkhorn" were taken up and new businesses were planted. Over the course of a decade, the basic footprint of the town we know today had put down roots with buildings that started out as hotels, schools, and private homes. Discover the hidden past on a walking tour of downtown Estes Park with the Downtown Docent Corps. During the tour, participants will explore historical photographs from the Museum's collection to aid in comparing the past to the present.

Identical tours will be offered now through September 16 on Monday, Tuesday and Friday (no tour on July 4th).

Tours meet at 8:15 a.m. at the Northeast corner of Bond Park (next to the bronze Enos Mills Sculpture) and begin promptly at 8:30 a.m. The tour group will return to the same site by 10:00 a.m. and travel a distance of 0.7 miles. Tours will run every week throughout the summer. The cost is $8, cash or check (payable to the Town of Estes Park). First come, first served; no reservations required. Space limited to about 12 people.  Saturday, June 18 from 3 – 4 p.m.

This pioneer entered the lodging business somewhat accidentally when his Moraine Park ranch was in the path of visitors hoping to secure a place to stay, a meal, and Sprague's guided expertise to the Continental Divide.

Around that same time near Fish Creek, the Earl of Dunraven opened his Estes Park Hotel, popularly called the English Hotel, the valley's most luxurious accommodations in the 1870s, complete with indoor flush toilets. Enos Mills acquired the Longs Peak House in 1902, and the inn's reputation would flourish alongside Mills' increasing fame as a naturalist, writer, and mountaineer.

His neighbor and occasional adversary Charles Edwin Hewes labored to keep his Hewes-Kirkwood Inn solvent while vigilantly pursuing his passion as a poet.

F.O. Stanley's famous hotel opens in 1909, simultaneously bringing electricity and other advances to the surrounding

village. And Joe Mills opens his Crags Hotel - the "House on the Hill"- on July 4, 1914, and it becomes an immediate success. Free program for Museum Members only. No reservations required.

Identical to the program offered on June 16 for Members. Sponsored by the Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc.  Thursday June 23, local MacGregor Ranch Docent Denny Gribble to talk about history and antique tools in the "Drawn to Black Canyon: The History and Beauty of MacGregor Ranch" exhibit Denny will share his knowledge of the MacGregor family, life on the Ranch, and his affinity with some of the antique tools in use 150 years ago.

Denny has first-hand experience using some of the same tools that the MacGregors would have used including draw blades for peeling logs and drills used in masonry work. Free to attend and no reservations are required. Participants of all ages are welcome to visit the exhibit, interact with Denny, and see antique tools up close.  Wednesday, June 29 “Artistic Pathways of the Past: The Inspirational Journey of Artists in Estes Park – Greig Steiner on theater in Estes Park” The artistic heritage of Estes Park will be explored through a unique program series co-sponsored by the Estes Park Museum and Estes Valley Library on the last Wednesday of each month from June through September. Topics range from theater, print-making, early color photography, and the written word. All of the programs are free to attend and will take place at the Museum with the exception of the July 27 program about Fred Clatworthy which will be held at the Estes Park High School.

Located at 200 Fourth Street, the Estes Park Museum galleries are open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and Sundays from 1:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. The Historic Fall River Hydroplant, located at 1754 Fish Hatchery Road is open Tuesday through Sunday from 1 – 4 p.m. The mission of the Estes Park Museum is to conduct activities that preserve, share and respect the unique history of Estes Park.

Young Wildlife Do Not Need Your Help: Leave Them Alone Photos by Jim & Juaniece Ward

This is the time of year when wild animals give birth to their young and Colorado Parks and Wildlife provides this reminder: do not approach, touch or handle young animals.

“We know that people are trying to be helpful, but the young animals are best cared for by their own parents,” said Renzo DelPiccolo, area wildlife manager in Montrose for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. “The best thing people can do is to leave young wildlife alone.”

During spring and early summer, people often see young animals that appear to be alone in the forest, in backyards, on or near trails or along the sides of roads.

“The animals have not been abandoned. Young animals are often left alone to allow the mother to feed, to help them avoid predators and to learn

how to live in the wild,” DelPiccolo explained.

Deer provide a good example of how wildlife adapt behaviors to help them survive. Young fawns have no scent and are born with speckled coats that provide a natural camouflage. These two factors help them avoid being found by predators. When the mother doe senses a predator might be close by it moves away. Many other animals use similar survival techniques.

Elk and moose calves are also left alone by their mothers. If you see one, move away quickly. Do not move closer or attempt to get the animal to move.

Young birds often fall out of their nests or are pushed out of nests by parents to encourage them to fly.

“If a young bird is on the ground it will

Congratulations Sarah!

quickly learn to fly. So let nature take its course,” DelPiccolo said.

If you see a bird on a hiking trail and you think it might be stepped on accidentally or easily found by a dog, you can pick it up and move it a short distance to cover.

People also need to keep their pets under control. In the woods, dogs acting on their natural instincts can find animals and attack them. The stress of being attacked often is fatal for young animals.

In neighborhoods and backyards cats are adept at finding eggs and young birds. Cats are pets – but they’re also predators.

“Many studies show that cats are damaging the songbird population. Please, don’t let your cat roam free,” DelPiccolo said.

Cat owners should place a small bell on the cat's collar and the sound will alert small animals.

Food should never be given to wildlife.

There is plenty of natural food available for wild animals. Providing food causes animals to bunch up in small areas and that makes them vulnerable to diseases and predators. If they're provided food they also become habituated to humans and will stay in residential areas instead of natural lands.

People also need to understand that not all newborn animals will survive.

“In the case of all wildlife, we have to understand that mortality is part of the natural cycle,” DelPiccolo said.

If you see a young animal, admire its beauty from a distance, and then move on quietly. CPW also encourages parents to explain to their children not to disturb wildlife.

If you have any questions, call the nearest Colorado Parks and Wildlife office.

ARE YOU ABLE TO ‘RUN WITH THE HORSES’?

One of my favorite stories in the Bible is that of Jeremiah. He was a prophet God called to preach to His people at a time when they weren’t willing to listen to what he had to say. I’m so glad that we live at a time when there is so much greater receptivity to God’s Word and a desire to follow it. I would recommend that you read this good Old Testament book. You will find statements that remind us a lot of today. For example, they liked to pretend that there was ‘peace, peace’, when there was little peace to be found. He urged a return to the ‘old paths of God’s Word’, which is just as relevant today as it was then. Perhaps you could identify with him when he was sent to the ‘potter’s house’ to watch an object lesson about how God ‘molds us into the vessels’ He wants us to be.

However, I want to focus on one challenge that was contained in this book that is faced today, and often, failed. There is a time in Jeremiah’s life when, worn down by the opposition and absorbed in self-pity, he is about to give up. He is about to abandon his calling in God and settle for being a Jerusalem statistic. At that critical moment he heard this reprimand from God: “If you have raced with men on foot, and they have wearied you, how will you compete with horses? If you stumble in the safe country, how will you manage in the tangles near the Jordon?” “Yes, Jeremiah”, God is saying, “you do have some minor difficulties in living your life and fulfilling your work, but if you can’t handle those without feeling sorry for yourself and quitting, how are you going to handle it when it really gets rough?” We’ve often heard it said, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going!” But this certainly won’t happen if we can’t handle minor grievances of life.

A community leader recently expressed to me this observation: “There seems to be so much negativity in our community!” We talked about how we could turn it around. You probably have some good ideas. However, probably most of them would boil down to the realization that, individually, we have to do a better job of ‘competing with the footmen’…the minor problems we face…before we can face more major challenges that often arise in ourselves, our families and our community. Most of us have complained about minor discomforts until we saw someone who was facing something so much worse. Someone put it this way: “I complained that I had no shoes, until I saw a man who had no feet.” So many people in our world, even in our community, are having to ‘run with the horses’ …loss of health, loved ones, jobs, etc.…and here we are complaining about some ‘lesser’ things. I think God needs to speak to us in His words to Jeremiah.

As I look at all aspects of our nation and our world I am reminded of these words. They speak to our aspiring political leaders if they whine as they ‘contend with men’. How will they be able to handle things, including our nation’s significant problems, as we are challenged by the ‘horses’? They speak to those of us who complain about minor physical discomforts when we see people whose family member is on Hospice, dealing with Developmental Disabilities or wrestling with Alzhiemers. Jesus once said, “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in much…If you aren’t, you won’t!”

I want to follow in Jeremiah’s footsteps. His determination: “I will run with the horses!”

How about you?

Wayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wisdoms Here are some things I have found to be true in my 74 years on this planet.

Some are original, some borrowed from others. Most are meant to help maintain one's sanity. â&#x20AC;˘ I will live until I die. â&#x20AC;˘ You have to value someone's opinion before you get upset over it. â&#x20AC;˘ Life is what happens from your birth to your death, regardless of your plans. â&#x20AC;˘ There is no Heaven or Hell, this life is hell and how you deal with it determines whether you have some heavenly times. â&#x20AC;˘ You are known by the company you keep. â&#x20AC;˘ You are in charge of your own happiness. â&#x20AC;˘ Life is worth living if you see it that way! â&#x20AC;˘ All of life is cyclical. When you are having bad times, you know that the good times are around the corner. â&#x20AC;˘ A happy wife is a happy life. â&#x20AC;˘ When confronted with obstacles and plans gone astray, fall back and accept that things happen the way they are supposed to. â&#x20AC;˘ Life is great if you don't weaken. â&#x20AC;˘ Love transcends all other emotions. â&#x20AC;˘ Think with your head, not with your heart. â&#x20AC;˘ Base your opinions on truth, not hearsay. â&#x20AC;˘ Most people can count their true friends without taking their shoes off. â&#x20AC;˘ Heed history and you'll see the future. â&#x20AC;˘ Fearful people can be manipulated easily.

Introduction To Pierre Teilhard De Chardin Series Bishop Ken Brin to offer free programs in June Local resident Bishop Ken Brin will present free programs on French philosopher, paleontologist, and Jesuit priest, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. Programs will be held at a new location, Shepherd of the Mountains Lutheran Church, 2000 Ptarmigan Trail, near Good Samaritan

â&#x20AC;˘ I'd rather deal with an intelligent, motivated individual than an educated, lazy, entitled buffoon. â&#x20AC;˘ Give me someone with common sense and I'll teach them the rest. â&#x20AC;˘ It's easier to be happy with money in your pocket. â&#x20AC;˘ Sperm and egg unite and you have a miracle. â&#x20AC;˘ Old wives tale: if a new baby has a strong suck, they have a good brain. â&#x20AC;˘ Life is attitude, commitment and communication. How you feel when you get up in the morning sets your attitude for the day. If you make a commitment to accomplish something, you will.

Good, honest, sincere conversation earns you good, honest, sincere conversation in response. â&#x20AC;˘ What goes around, comes around.

I've lived long enough to witness this truth. Goodness begets goodness, badness returns badness. â&#x20AC;˘ Show me the one in charge of a company and I'll show you how good that company is. â&#x20AC;˘ Maturity is taking responsibility for one's action. Age has nothing to do with it. â&#x20AC;˘ Curiosity killed the cat; satisfaction brought him back. â&#x20AC;˘ Experience what you can while you can. â&#x20AC;˘ Love your neighbor, he might own your mineral rights.

Wouldn't it be great if we all loved one another? On second thought, it would be boring. Here's to boring days - love, peace and prosperity!

The Estes Valley Suicide Awareness Task-Force has made some amazing progress this year with their new community wide initiative called “Estes Matters.” The Estes Valley Suicide Awareness Task-Force (EVSAT) is a team of individuals who came together to identify the current resources for the entire Estes Valley in regards to mental health, wellness and resilience.

In January of 2016, the group held their kickoff event, where world renowned guest speaker Sally Spencer Thomas of the Carson J. Spencer Foundation shared her powerful message of envisioning a community that is committed to sustaining a passion for living. In addition, several of the local community organizations came for an open house afterwards to share their resources and information with attendees.

Meeting monthly, the goal of the EVSAT is to accumulate the resources available and identify the gaps that could use more attention in the Estes Valley.

These four main areas were identified as: 1. Education and Awareness: to recognize signs and reduce stigma that often surrounds mental health, to provide resources and outreach.

2. Identify Resources: Gather the resources and get those providers talking to each other. By creating a unified presence, they could provide access and awareness of those resources in our community and the Larimer County.

3. Assess and Advocate: Identify and promote strength in our resources and identify where the major gaps lie so that we can build a stronger and more complete support system.

4. Build a culture of openness and support; create a culture of mental wellbeing, be proactive rather than reactive, and make mental health a priority to our community.

While the task force can appreciate that summer is an extremely busy time for everyone, they would like to keep their finger on the pulse of the momentum that the group has built and the progress that has been made through collaboration. As a way to accomplish this, the EVSAT group is putting in place is a monthly article forum to be published in the local newspapers that will touch base on a topic related to the different fields in line with their mission, generally an extension or special topic from each of the organizations that make up the task force.

As summer winds down, the EVSAT team looks forward to continuing the work they have done and will begin planning their fall event centered on Grief and Loss. Estes Park has certainly seen its fair share of tragedy over the past year and this topic is one that we can all benefit to hear more about. In addition, the EVSAT will continue to collaborate and develop ways to meet the needs identified in the four main areas established. The strong partnerships that have been formed during the past six months have proven to be extremely beneficial to the common cause.

After painting professionally for 30 years, Eileen's love of painting landscapes is still an important part of her life. Eileen has lived Loveland, Colorado for over 50 years with husband and family. She strives to capture the lighting, particular mood, and beauty of nature in plein air painting and relay it to the viewer. Intrinsic details in scenery along with personal reflections and artistic observations characterize her painting. A love of the mountains and the outdoors inspire her art.

Working primarily in oils, Eileen has also used pastels, acrylics and watercolor. She paints portraits, landscapes and still life. She graduated from the Famous Artists School in Connecticut and has studied under several of her favorite nationally known artists, including Robert Bateman, Dee Toscano, Davis Leffel and Charles Cross in painting workshops. She has also taken classes in drawing and painting at Colorado State University. Eileen has traveled to Europe and shows in several galleries in Colorado and Wyoming.

Eileen has won several 1st place ribbons

and served as judge for shows and county fairs in Weld and Larimer Counties. She has taught classes to adults and children in the past, and is the owner and operator of “Artisan You!,” a ceramic, glass and painting studio which offers classes for the public in old town Loveland.

We welcome you to visit the Art Center to see this body of work as well as the fine art by the other Art Center artist members. During this show, visit the gallery’s Sun Room to shop the annual summer Artists’ Inventory sale where a

wonderful collection of art treasures can be found at discounted prices.

Artists Selected For 2016 Program At Rocky Mountain National Park

Celebrate The Centennial Of The National Park Service Rocky’s Artist-in-Residence Program will celebrate the National Park Service centennial this year, by hosting three professional artists and three youth artists. As we move into the next century, national parks continue to explore ways to engage young people in national parks and the arts. Two of our youth artists were recently selected from a Statewide Student Art Celebration Contest organized by the Estes Park Environmental Center in partnership with Rocky Mountain National Park. As part of the celebration, our third youth artist, Rocky’s first child Artist-in-Residence in 2011, has been invited to return for another residency.

On Wednesday, June 22, at 7:30 p.m.

Visual Artist Melissa Gordon from Louisville, Colorado, will be kicking off this year’s Artist-In-Residence program at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center.

Melissa just completed her junior year at Monarch High School. She is one of three youth artists participating in our Artist-in-Residence Program. As a Colorado native she is passionate about the outdoors and the natural world. Although she has stretched her artistic abilities by using different artistic mediums, she favors painting. Whether capturing the overall landscape or the small details hidden in magnificent scenery, Melissa relies on nature as the inspiration for her artwork. She hopes to continue her art career by improving her techniques throughout her lifetime. At college she plans to study Environmental Engineering.

As part of Melissa’s program she will read a letter she wrote for a student 100 years from now about the importance of national parks. She submitted this essay as part of a state-wide contest, the Student Art Celebration, sponsored by the Estes Park Environmental Center in partnership with Rocky Mountain National Park. The second part of this pro-

gram will be a ranger-led facilitated discussion which will allow audience members an opportunity to share their own views and thoughts on the meaning and values of our national parks.

In addition to Gordon, other artists who were selected for this year’s program along with their art medium are: Leah Kegerreis, Youth Visual Artist from Plano, Texas; Sierra Burgoyne, Youth Visual Artist from Louisville, Colorado; Richard Harrington, Painter from Oregon City, Oregon; Dawn Lee, Visual Artist from Sayville, New York; Danielle Austen, Photographer from Hillsborough, New Jersey. For a specific schedule and to learn more about these artists visit www.nps.gov/romo/getinvolved/supportyourpark/air-2016.htm Since the late 1800s, national parks and art have had a special connection. Earlyday artists accompanied many of the expeditions that explored the American West. These artists documented their discoveries in paintings, photographs and prose, and played a key role in influencing the decision to protect many of our earliest national parks. In 1984, in honor of the significant role that artists had played in the creation of national parks, Rocky Mountain National Park established the first Artist-in-Residence Program in the National Park Service system. Today over fifty national park areas have Artist-in-Residence Programs.

Artistic diversity, new ideas and creative uses of media were encouraged in the application process. Artists are given two-week residencies at the William Allen White cabin from June through September.

These programs are free and open to the public. For more information about Rocky Mountain National Park please contact the park’s Information Office at (970) 586-1206.

The History/Mystery Of “Dusty” The Bowlegged Cowboy

By: Howell F. Wright (970-231-1738 or howell@estesvalley.net ).

With the 2016 Rooftop Rodeo rapidly approaching (July 6-11) I think it is time My second question was who owned to consider one of our Town’s real mysthe logo? Everyone seemed to think it teries – Where did Dusty the Bowlegged was owned by the Town of Estes Park.

Cowboy come from?

However, there was no In 2007, when I first berecord availcame President of the able that Rooftop Rodeo Commitproved this tee, one of the objectives I point and no had was to build on the one in the logo merchandize marketTown Ading effort that had been ministration, started in 2005 by commitat the time, tee member Karen Steadhad any man. Karen had started knowledge of with $300 and built a very the logo’s successful program based ownership. primarily on T-shirt sales.

Was there a Her success planted the possibility seed in my mind that the image of the bowlegged cowboy on all sorts of Rooftop merchandize could be a major income producer for the Rooftop committee.

I had two concerns: My first question was, “What Rodeo Program circa 1950 was the origin of the logo?” I found that there were several that if we got ways of calling the logo: Dusty, The into the merJudge, or simply the Bowlegged Cowchandizing boy. Next there were several standard business someresponses about where the image actuone, in the fually came from.

If you have any inso.” formation that may help solve this 66Bo’s investigation verified my thinking year old mystery please give me a call as indicated in his January 14, 2008 re-

sponse: “I would agree that the Top Hand Organization should have the logo. The town does not want to compete with other stores in town. We got into this at the CVB when they wanted to sell things there. Bo” Committee members Terry Larson and Joyce Kitchen were given the job of working with attorney Gregg H. Coffman to get the logo and the term, Rooftop Rodeo, registered as Colorado trademarks. On January 29, 2008 I wrote the following email, “Terry talked to Lawyer about our logo. For state level the cost would be $50 per classification.

And for national level it would be $350 per classification. We decided to start at the state level with Joyce’s slight change to the cowboy. Terry will get in writing what the costs are from Greg Coffman.

We will start slow with the merchandising and see how it goes over the next few years.”

Joyce Kitchen felt that if we were going to register the bowlegged cowboy the image should be “spruced up a bit.” Joyce’s minor changes, the addition of a tassel on the hatband and the Wrangler look of the back pockets, plus the addition of snap links and ties to the chaps, were meant to bring the logo more into a modern rodeo look while maintaining the heritage of the old logo.

Timothy Buck, an Estes Park illustrator, took Joyce’s image and “…I pretty much scanned in the image Joyce gave me and cleaned it up a bit. I know the chaps are the wrong kind, but they do look more like the original logo, so I wasn't sure which way to go on that so I left it alone.”(3-17-08) See “Original Dusty” below.

Finally, on May 1, 2008 I was able to tell the Committee that the bowlegged cowboy was officially a registered trademark in Colorado, with the Top Hand Organization, Inc., and that in 2009 we would look into registering the cowboy at the national level.

The decision to wait on the national registration was purely a budgetary consideration because, at the time, $350.00 was a lot of Original Dusty money.

It was not, however, until 2011 that a push for national registration began again. Our merchandizing efforts were growing during rodeo week and we wanted to begin an online merchandis-

ing effort. Attorney Josh Westmoreland had joined the Rooftop Committee and he saw the need to have ownership of the logo before we went national. After a month or so, registration papers were filed and all seemed to be in order.

Then, on September 27th, Josh got a note/card from the US Commissioner for Trademark. Josh wrote, “The card indicates an extension to oppose the mark was granted to Wrangler Apparel Corp. That does not mean they're going to oppose the mark, but they'll have some extra time. I think the holdup is due to one of two things: 1) we found the original artist or 2) the W stitching on the cowboy's jeans may be too close to wrangler's mark. We'll just have to wait and see.” It was #2.

On December 29, 2011 we received, from the General Counsel, Wrangler Apparel Corporation, an assignment and license agreement wherein we would assign ownership of the logo to Wrangler and they would, intern, “allow” the Rooftop Rodeo (Top Hand, Inc.) to continue to use the bowlegged cowboy logo but with approval rights on all uses. It did not take long for the committees response to be sent and it basically said we would not relinquish our rights to the logo! However, we would immediately remove the “W” from the back pockets of the Cowboy. Wrangler accepted this solution and asked that we expressly abandon the trademark application that we filed with the USPTO before January 4th. Although, this meant we would now have to start the application process anew, the good part was that we at least were confident that the bowlegged cowboy was not registered with anyone at the national level. See “Updated Dusty” far left.

In 2012 the intent was to resubmit a trademark application for the bowlegged cowboy with the no design back pockets. During the process, however, the Town of Estes Park reconsidered their position on not owning the logo and asked if it could be assigned to the Town. This was not a problem because the Committee had originally wanted ownership only to protect themselves and the Town. Someone needed to own the logo and the Town, at the time, had declined to do so. I made it clear to Town leaders that the Committee would stand down from its application effort and the Town could start their own process toward ownership and this they did.

So, for the rest of the story, we need the help of the readers of this bit of history.

Do you have any form of documentation that would indicate when the logo was first adopted by the Rooftop Rodeo?

We know it appeared on the rodeo program in 1950 but, for instance, in 1965, a Rafter R logo was used. Does anyone remember, Albert J. Ohlson, and could he have actually drawn the first bowlegged cowboy? I would love to visit with anyone on any facts surroundings the bowlegged cowboy and, for that matter, any real good stories (factual or not) about our Rooftop Rodeo logo.

The residents and staff of the Good Samaritan Society – Estes Park Village would like to thank Chuck Varilek and the members of the Village Band. The band was scheduled for its annual concert at Good Sams and the forecast looked promising this year. Last year’s concert was cancelled due to weather.

This year, it was a beautiful day as Chuck started to set up in the parking lot of Good Sams. The residents, as well as community members, started setting up their lawn chairs and the band members were steadily arriving. Then, the dark clouds began to roll in. Cell phones emerged from pockets and weather radar was checked by many to see if the storm would pass, and to most it looked as if it would. However, the sprinkles began and they soon turned to larger drops. The band members and residents took cover under the two covered entryways.

The drops turned to hail for a while. And then just before the concert was to begin it looked as if the storm had passed.

But it hadn’t. It was just taking a pause before the real rain started.

After cancelling last year’s show, it was going to be very disappointing to have to cancel another show. At that point a decision was made to bring everyone into the dining room of the Apartment Building. A few tables were pushed aside and the band, made up of 40 members, set up their chairs and tuned their instruments. The Good Sam residents and many folks from the community gathered around wherever they could find a

seat. The rain never stopped until the concert was over. The music began and the night was a success.

The residents would like to thank the Village Band for sticking it out through the storm. It was a wonderful community event.

"Meet the Artisan" celebrates our wonderful and talented local artisans at the Monday Artisans Market. Join us each Monday, 10:00 - 4:00, June, July and August, at Riverside Plaza, and celebrate our local artisans.

"Meet the Artisan" brings together local and talented artisans to showcase their work. The event is free and open to the public.

Every artist has a story.

Meet the artisan in person, hear their stories and the inspiration behind their work.

Donna Bearden Inspired by psychology and spirituality, Donna Bearden became a photo-mandala artist 10 years ago. Mandalas have long been used as spiritual and healing art forms, and can be found across cultures. The Buddhist sand mandalas, Navajo healing mandalas, and the rose windows of the great cathedrals are a few examples. The psychologist Carl Jung used mandalas in his work on the subconscious.

A life-long photographer, Donna creates the kaleidoscope-type images from pieces cut from her photographs in ways that emphasize certain details, colors, or textures. People are drawn into the repeating pattern symmetry as they wonder where they’ve seen particular details before.

Nature is her subject of choice, but she also plays with architectural details. Her designs have been printed and sold on silk scarves, ceramic tiles, wood, and metal, and, along with inspirational quotes, published in a book titled Mandala Messages: Do not fear your potential.

She also teaches classes on drawing mandalas.

The Monday Artisans Market offers a unique opportunity to enjoy and support local artisans.

We are all about local art, local artisans, and our unique stories about our art, that makes each and every one of us unique. The Monday Artisans Market connects Estes Park residents, businesses, tourists and the arts within our community. Stop by, say hi, meet the artisans, see their labor of love, and hear their story. Buy Local. Buy Art.

Recycling Update New Vs. Recycled We have talked a lot about where to take your overflow when you have too much “stuff.” Howeve, we have not said enough about “closing the loop,” i.e. purchasing items others have recycled.

Everyone, from time to time, needs, or would like to have, something “new” but, when shopping, consider that reclaimed in the latest version of new.

At times, you are best served by buying new. We discovered this last week when our dishwasher died. Now, for various reasons including a “new” house and some second hand dishwasher purchases, we have not shopped for a new dishwasher in nearly 30 years! Over that time, technology has progressed and improvements have complicated the purchase to include inconceivable possibilities such as bottle washers for narrow necked beverage bottles, a built-in garbage disposal, a steam pre-wash, and automatic soil sensors. So we will buy new and take the old one down to Andersen Sales and Salvage for recycling.

That, at least, will help us recover some of the purchase price. So be it.

Contrary to that, last year, when I needed a new jewelry kiln, the “improvements” would have required that I completely change the way I make jewelry. So – we found one on eBay just like my old one (which lasted 50 years).

When considering obsolescence, the

“improvements” must be evaluated for value to you. Sometimes old, or rather “new,” is better.

A second consideration in this age of planned obsolescence: Some items today are made to only last long enough. After five hours in the bleachers at Special Olympics and expecting another eight, we decided that stadium seats would provide back relief. The first three we found, at three different stores, were constructed entirely of plastic. The steel chairs we purchased were twice the price, but will never end up in the landfill. Even if one would get run over by the car, the material would be recyclable. In the long run we save both financially and sustainably by buying durability.

Also consider the value, or lack thereof, inherent in perceived obsolescence. This year’s car, or color, or fashion statement is specifically designed to force us to replace and toss perfectly useable items.

Maybe I am simply immune to this type of marketing. My car is 13 years old and I have noticed that when I wait long enough my clothing will come “back” into fashion. Not that I am opposed to new clothes and if I find something I really like I will buy six of them, but I also enjoy finding just the right “new” at a thrift shop or garage sale and, knowing that I saved a slice of history from being tossed into oblivion.

IMPRESSIVE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE VIEWS This comfortable 2700 sq. ft. home is situated on a spacious .8 of an acre affording privacy and awesome views of Long’s Peak, Twin Sisters and the Continental Divide.

The open floor plan allows main level living and includes an impressive kitchen, master suite with 5 piece bath, two additional bedrooms, laundry and access to the large 3 car garage. The upstairs loft area is spacious enough for a family room and is adjacent to a large bedroom and ¾ bath. You will enjoy spending time outside in the 16x20 pavilion, complete with maintenance free decking and radiant heat. Inside or out, this home will satisfy your desire of living in the mountains with some of the best views Estes Park has to offer. Call Trisha for an appointment to see 1759 High Pine Drive, offered at $749,000.

Katie Soliday with student.

The Estes Park Learning Place is proud to employ two tutors to assist the organization with programs and financial information.

Estes Park Learning Place Tutor Spotlight Katie Soliday Katie Soliday has been a member of the Estes Park Learning Place’s tutoring team for three and one half years. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in math from Colorado State University, Katie taught homeschool students for twelve years.

She became a tutor, Katie says, “be-

cause math should not be scary or hard. Learning is hard work, but it always pays off. I want to help students achieve their goals.”

Katie enjoys getting to know the students she works with in the Success Center at Estes Park High School and during oneon-one tutoring at the Learning Place. Katie most enjoys the ‘Aha!’ moment and hearing a student say, “Oh, I understand that now!”

Katie was born in Colorado and had visited Estes Park since she was a young girl. She became has a resident of Estes Park nearly fourteen years ago.

Katherine Pickup Shortly after moving to Colorado from Tulsa, Oklahoma in September 2015, Katherine Pickup began working as a tutor at the Estes Park Learning Place. She continues her work as a tutor by helping the students at study tables at Estes Park Middle School.

Katherine has both a Bachelor’s and Master of Arts degree in Speech and Language Pathology. She is certified to teach middle school social studies and math, as well as secondary physical science, algebra I and II, and geometry.

Katherine enjoys tutoring. “It gives me an opportunity to continue to work with and impact kids who need a ‘different path’ to success in school.” She describes herself as creative, persistent, and positive. These qualities allow her to make connections with students that help them reach their goals. Katherine stated, “I’m not afraid to blaze a different path if it will be most beneficial to those entrusted to my care.”

Friends, We are writing you to ask for your help in finding a cure for Juvenile Myositis (JM). JM is a rare auto-immune disease in which the body's immune system attacks its own cells and tissues. Only about two or three children in a million suffer from this disease, and not too many people have heard of it. JM - a debilitating and life-threatening disease causes muscle weakness and pain, extreme fatigue, digestive difficulties, lung and heart problems, skin rashes, painful calcium deposits under the skin, and a host of other side effects.

Our eight-year-old grandson Eldon is one of these children.

He was diagnosed at age two when he could not walk for more than a few steps without falling. Since diagnosis he has had several surgeries and thousands of hours in the hospital, at the doctor's office and at physical therapy sessions. Eldon has taken ten medications per day, had therapies five days a week and has all-day infusions monthly. His battle with JM is part of his daily life.

There is no cure for JM and only a little funding for it. Our hope is that we can change this through more research and

awareness. That is why we are asking for your support in our work for the nonprofit Cure JM Foundation. Visit www.cureJM.org to learn more about this disease.

To raise money for research, we are sponsoring the 3rd Annual Cowboy Brad Concert For Cure JM in Estes Park, next Saturday, June 25, 2016. We invite you to join us for this free, fun event. If you cannot attend, you can still help in these ways: 1) you can donate online at the Foundation's website: www.cureJM.org. (click the "Donate" button at the top left.) 95% of all donations go directly toward funding research grants and programs.

2) you could also mail a check made out to Cure JM and mail to our Colorado address. We will collect all checks and mail them to the Foundation for you.

3) help spread the word about our benefit concert and about Juvenile Myositis.

Thanks for your support of our grandson and all other JM children and their families.

Eldon needs a cure.

Sincerely, Chuck and Laurel Krider, Estes Park,

Memorial Day Observance 2016 Memorial Day 2016-Plus a bit of the past and plans for the future!

In the early 1980s a group of long time Estes Park residents gathered with hopes and dreams of an established community cemetery. At this time there were a few private/family burial plots around but many families took loved ones to “the valley” or maybe “back home” for their final resting place. As time passed, Estes Park became a permanent home to many and they wished to be buried here and/or have their deceased loved ones near as well. The story goes “…the Old Timers believed Estes Park was for the living and not the dead,” thus the reason there was not an established cemetery.

The group’s dreams were fulfilled when the non-profit Estes Valley Memorial Gardens was established. After conquering many hurdles and much searching for the perfect spot, the EVMG board signed a contract with the Town of Estes Park to purchase six acres – one acre per year – on Fish Hatchery Road off of Hwy. 34 West and the rest of the story is becoming history.

On Monday, May 30, 1984, the first Memorial Day Observance was held at the Estes Valley Memorial Gardens. At eleven o’ clock that chilly, snowy morning one older gentleman and his granddaughter were in attendance. Each year this observance and the Veteran’s Day Observance increase in attendance and have become a tradition in honoring loved ones and those who served our country.

Recalling the recent Memorial Day, Estes Valley Memorial Gardens would like to recognize and express thanks to the many volunteers who not only give of their time and talents for the two special observances but in many ways work with the cemetery throughout the years.

Starting from the ground up, literally, Ken Hale and Boyd Williams who maintain the grounds, Thanks to you as the cemetery is always in good status…because, from weather to elk, one never knows how/what one will find.

Thanks extended to members of the Joseph J. Duncan, Jr. American Legion Post

119, namely Judy Howell and her group of volunteers, who placed American flags on every veteran’s grave; Patience Gribble and Estelle Purvus (Patience’s student) for the Prelude and Postlude on the bagpipes and who truly set the mood of the day.

Thank you to the Color Guard from the American Legion, commanded by Jeff Van Bogaert and including Donna Weber, Ralph Walls, Patrick Sabo, Scott Kalio and Sharyn Gartner. Assisting them in the Presentation of the Colors, Scout Troup 8 Honor Guard, led by Scoutmaster Brian Burke and sponsored by the American Legion. Brian, you set a very important example and are commended for a job well done.

Mark Hewitt, thank you for sharing your great music of the “Star Spangled Banner,” “Battle Hymn of the Republic” and “God Bless America.” Also, we wish to recognize and extend thanks to The Reverend Seth Richmond of St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church who gave the Invocation and Benediction. Our featured speaker with Remarks and Reflections, Skip Hyde, USAF, Capt. (Ret.) and currently Lt. Col of the Colorado Air Patrol.

Thank you, American Legion representatives Richard Oversteg, U.S. Army Chief Warrant Office (Ret.) who is retiring Post Commander of American Legion Post 119 and to incoming Post Commander Terry Ruzzuti, Marine Sgt., E-5 (Ret.) for their remarks about the American Legion and Memorial Day. A special Salute to Lt. Col. Loren Johnson, USAF (Ret) for his moving rendition (always) of “Taps.” EVMG also wants to thank Loren for his many years of service as Assistant Manager for the cemetery, retiring this past January. Our new Assistant is Mike Williams, a local resident and a veteran of the U.S. Navy serving in the Pacific Fleet Band as a vocalist, pianist and percussionist.

And a very special thank you to Grant C. Fleming, General Manager. Grant has been with EVMG three years and comes to us with a wealth of experience, having been in the funeral and cemetery business for many years. His resume includes, but cer-

Letter From Restorative Justice Client Dear Town of Estes Park, Let me start this off by saying that I am sincerely sorry. Before I go any farther, I'm sure you're wondering why I'm apologizing. On an average work day, I was busy doing my morning duties. When a customer came in, I was so focused on my work that I just simply said “Hi.” Not looking up at the customer, I continued about my duties. When the customer came to the counter, I simply scanned the item and gave the total. When the customer left, a few moments later two detectives came in holding the six pack of beer. The same beer I had just sold the customer. They informed me that I had just sold beer to a minor. I was devastated.

I couldn't believe what I had just done. I

was so caught up in getting my morning duties done that I didn't even realize that I had just sold alcohol to a minor. At that moment all I could think was, what could have happened to that person and how the family of the minor could have felt. How my store owner was going to feel about it, as well as the people of Estes Park.

It can be so easy to forget things while busy at work. Today is a different story. I always make sure to give full awareness when engaging with customers. So this a reminder for anyone who gets caught up and busy, just always be aware and cautious.

Sincerely, Employee of Estes Park

tainly not limited to, teaching Death and Dying classes (classroom and on-line) for Regis College; a tenure at Crown Hill, Wheatridge, Colorado and other experiences. His wife, Christine Fleming, PhD, is a Sr. Instructional Designer – eLearning Specialist. Estes Park is fortunate beyond words to have Grant and Christine as permanent residents.

Perhaps you don’t know Estes Valley Memorial Gardens very well so I would like to offer some general information about this special place. There are several options for loved ones to be interned and remembered at our cemetery. In addition to our customary plots for cremains and whole body burials there is an area for scattering cremains in the Ponderosa Grove and place a marker for the deceased; a Memory Garden with boulders of different sizes having brass markers with names of those interned at another location; a special section for children, and the Hanson Memorial and Four Winds columbariums with single and double niches.

To date there are 743 interned, including 173 veterans. Currently Estes Valley Memorial has 380 plots available for burials of cremains and whole body burial plus niches available in the Four Winds columbarium.

Now from Grant, an exciting update for Estes Valley Memorial Gardens. Plans are

in progress to expand the upper portion of Block 4 (the current west parcel) allowing an additional 68 plots thus bringing the total of 448 plots available . Also, plans for development of a section on the west side of Block 4 called The Aspen Grove. Because of the natural lay of the area and the aspen, it will be for cremains only and feature a Meditation Garden with walkways and benches. This will add a new dimension to the serenity of these consecrated grounds we hold so dear.

If by chance you are in the area of Fish Hatchery Road, do a drive by and take a look of Estes Valley Memorial Gardens.

For additional information, the phone number is 970-586-3073. Please check out our new website: www.estesparkcemetery.weebly.com You may also enjoy the Memorial Day Observance video at www.EPNEWS.com.

In closing, I want to invite all to join us for the annual Veteran’s Day Observance which will be on Friday, November 11 at 11:00 o’ clock in the morning. Bring your friends and family for a very special, meaningful celebration. We look forward to seeing you there!

Grieg will also discuss the various performing art groups from the 1900s into the 30s, 40s, and 50s and then connect the past to groups that are currently producing theater, music and dance in Estes Park.

He started his tenure at the Dark Horse Theater here in Estes that same year,

working as the art and technical director.

After four summers and over 20 productions, he moved on to easel painting in the 1960s. He and his wife Ann also designed and built the Courtyard shops, where the Greig Steiner Gallery was originally located.

While there may be some minor inconvenience, full service is expected to continue during the process.

Our Wonderful World Travels To Russia With Dick Life Our Wonderful World is the Estes Valley Library’s armchair-travel series spotlighting extraordinary destinations from around the world!

Join us on Monday, June 20 at 7 p.m. at the Park Village Playhouse as we travel to Russia for “Life Under Communism” with Dick Life.

While serving on active duty, Dick Life delivered this color slide lecture some 320 times throughout the United States, NATO and Australia. Dick’s presentation is based upon his living in and traveling about the USSR interacting with Soviet citizens, 1974-76. Subjects addressed in the slide show include geography, resources, the labor force, income, how the people lived in both urban and rural areas, how they spent their rubles, the process for

becoming a card-carrying Communist, how the Communist Party of the USSR, and the KGB (secret police), maintained control over the populace, and why we were in a "Cold War" with the USSR. The presentation exposes many realities of the communist form of totalitarianism and its effect on the lives of some 250 million Soviet citizens, and hundreds of millions of people in other communist countries around the world.

This year’s Our Wonderful World programs will once again be held in the spacious Park Village Playhouse at the National Park Village located at 900 Moraine Avenue, next to the Other Side Restaurant. Each program begins at 7 p.m. and admission is free.

Summer Book Clubs For Kids Two book clubs are offered at Estes Valley Library for kids. Magic Treehouse: Balto of the Blue Dawn is for kids ages 6-8 and Maniac Magee is for 9-11 year olds. Registration is available online for the one time book club meeting. Once registered, pick up your free book and packet at the library. Pick up your book now and read the story prior to the one time Book Club meeting. We will discuss the book while we eat a snack, do a craft or play a game.

The meeting for Magic Treehouse: Balto of the Blue Dawn is on Saturday, June 25 at 2 p.m. in the library’s Hondius Room. The magic tree house takes Jack and Annie back in time to Alaska, 1925.

There they meet Balto, a jet-black Siber-

ian husky destined to save victims of the diphtheria epidemic. But the trail isn’t easy, and Balto is going to need Jack and Annie’s help!

The meeting for Maniac Magee is on Saturday, July 9 at 2 p.m. in the library’s Hondius Room.

He wasn’t always known as Maniac Magee, but when his parents died and his life changed, so did his name. And Maniac Magee became a legend. Even today, kids talk about how fast he could run and how he hit an inside-the-park “frog” homer. But the thing Maniac Magee is best known for is what he did for the kids from the East End and for those from the West End. He was special all right, and this is his story.

Adult Summer Reading Program Summer reading is not just for kids! It’s for everyone. This summer at the Estes Valley Library, we challenge you to Exercise Your Mind. Read a book, track some fun activities on our summer reading game card, and join in the fun of our many programs & events this summer.

The game cards are easy. There are 15 challenges and reading activities listed.

Complete 10 of the squares and turn in your game card for a coffee/tea gift card from one of our local coffee shops. Pick one up at the library today to get in the

game and start reading!

Each participant is welcome to complete two game cards for two coffee/tea card prizes. But that’s not all – continue to complete challenges for more chances to win one of our three wonderful wellness baskets that are full of local wellness prizes!

Public Invited To Free Showing Of “Ephraim’s Rescue” At Historic Park Theatre Ephraim Hanks was a young man in the 19th-century America who was trying to find his way. A series of life-altering events led him to become a man of miracles who rescued, saved and inspired his generation and those that followed.

His fascinating story is told in the feature-length movie, “Ephraim’s Rescue.”

In partnership with the Estes Park Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Historic Park Theatre in downtown Estes Park will provide a free showing of “Ephraim’s Rescue” at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 21.

The movie follows Ephraim Hanks whose life trials make him a man of humbleness and obedience. Along the way, he discovers miraculous gifts and the ability to heal others. At the same time, Mormon Pioneers set out from Europe and then across America for “New Zion” in Salt Lake City, but their trek is thwarted by a brutal winter that sets in across the American Plains.

Hanks and others are sent to rescue the struggling, starving and stranded company of handcart pioneers. Hanks himself struggled to find and save the pio-

neers but relied on faith and divine guidance to fulfill his mission. He arrived with hard-to-find buffalo meat and performed miracles that included healing the sick and dead.

The events of “Ephraim’s Rescue” are taken directly from the journals of the pioneers depicted in the film. For modern-day audiences, “Ephraim’s Rescue” is a story about finding one’s path, being called to do great work and following through with obedience and reverence.

A moderated group discussion will be held after the 99-minute movie. The public is invited to attend the free showing and group discussion. Refreshments and snacks will be available for sale from the Historic Park Theatre. For questions about the event, please feel free to call (970) 430-3079.

The Estes Park Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was formed in 2014 and currently has about 70 members who attend regularly on Sundays at 1 p.m. at the Estes Park Senior Citizens Center. The leader of the local congregation (called the branch president) is Dr. Aaron Florence. This event is hosted by Chris Amundson, the branch mission leader.

Richard “Dink” Oversteg Long time Estes Park resident Richard “Dink” Oversteg drank his last beer, told his last embellished story, and finished his last crossword puzzle on June 10, 2016. His heart finally gave out and he died suddenly and peacefully in his home after spending an enjoyable evening with his wife at the American Legion. His spirit was released from his worn out shell of a body to explore the universe and fly free.

His sharp wit and vast intellect will missed by many. Richard Robert Oversteg was born in Estes Park at the Cheley Camp on September 23, 1934 to Robert Alan Oversteg and Julia Helen (Enyeart) Oversteg. He grew up and attended school in Estes Park, graduating in 1952. Dink was adamant about serving his country and gave up a college scholarship to join the United States Army immediately after high school. He spent 20 years in active service, serving one year in Vietnam, four tours in Germany and multiple tours stateside before retiring as a Chief Warrant Officer 3.

While on his second tour in Europe he met his beloved wife Erika Eyerer.

They were married on October 14, 1960 in Ascha, Germany. After retiring from the army at the age of 38, using the GI Bill, Dink attended Colorado State University graduating with a degree in Information Systems. He then worked as the Director of Information Systems for the State of Colorado for 20 years. Following his retirement he became active in the Estes Park Com-

Page 39

munity and devoted much of his time and energy to the American Legion. This service gave Dink a great purpose in life and the people he was associated with through the Legion became his second family.

Dink is survived by his wife Erika as well as his children, Eric (Debbie) of Granite Bay, CA; Mona Oversteg Totman (Pete) of Ogden, Utah; Karen DeLine (Steve) of Steamboat Springs, CO and Linda Oversteg (available) of Maui, HI. He is also survived by 10 grandchildren as well as his sister Janet Banks of Loveland, CO. He is preceded in death by his parents Robert and Julia Oversteg.

A Memorial service with military honors will be held at the Estes Valley Memorial Gardens on Friday, June 17, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. Please join the family at the American Legion Post 119 in Estes Park following the service for a Celebration of Life party.

The family would like to share pictures and stories and invite everyone to enjoy light refreshments and to have a beer on Dink.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Dink’s name to the American Legion Post 119 in care of Allnutt Funeral Service, 1302 Graves Avenue, Estes Park, CO 80517.

See www.allnutt.com to send a message to Dink’s family.

Go Get’em Tiger and keep the shiny side up

Don Peterson, age 79, died June 7, 2016, at home under the care of his wife and Hospice of the Estes Valley.

Don is survived by his wife, Pam, of 40 years; sons Blake, (Elina) from Arvada, CO; Mark (Anne) from Drexel Hill, PA; Karl from Estes Park, and daughter Lorri Avery (Al) from Genesee, CO. He is also survived by three grandchildren, Serge, Audrey and Allie. Don had two brothers: Robert (Lee) in Evergreen, CO, and Roger (Mary) in Chandler, AZ, and nieces Lynn and Melia and nephew Bob. Many foster children were happy to call him Dad. Don was born on October 4, 1936 in Great Falls, Mt to parents Lorraine (Dallas) and Robert E. Peterson. While attending North Dakota State University he was president of the Sigma Chi fraternity. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1957 in the School of Pharmacy. Following an internship in a drug store he became Chief Pharmacist in the Deaconess Hospital in Grand Forks, ND, and then entered into pharmaceutical sales for many years. In 1964 he transferred to Denver, CO, and continued in pharmaceutical sales in the Denver area. Being the adventurous type, and loving sales, in 1968 he obtained his real estate license and eventually, with his wife, opened a real estate company in Evergreen, CO. In 1977 Don and Pam became involved in the foster care field, which then led them to move to Arizona in 1980 to work at the Arizona Boys Ranch. After two years, they missed their friends and family and the cool Colorado Rockies and returned to the Denver area, where they continued working with children as co-directors of a group home until their retirement in 2005. At that time they moved back to the mountains to live in Estes Park.

They had nearly 200 foster children over the years and thrived on meeting the needs of neglected and abused children.

Don lived for his family, and loved his

kids. Above all else, he loved the Lord, but his wife was the light of his life on earth.

Don played an active role in the foster care community by teaching foster parent classes at Colorado State University, served as President of the Arapahoe County Foster Parent Association and served on the Arapahoe County Department of Human Services Foster Care Review Board. He spent many hours pouring into the lives of young people through coaching and teaching Sunday School.

Over his lifetime he enjoyed many activities, including trap shooting, hunting, camping, boating, photography and wood working, capable of untangling eight boys' fishing lines at once while navigating a boat. He always looked forward to summers and holidays so he could travel with his foster children and family around the western United States, Mexico and Canada. His family and friends will always remember him as a person who loved the Lord and it could be said of him that he never knew a stranger. He loved to tell stories and make people laugh, often at his own expense.

A celebration of his life will held Saturday, June 18, at Rocky Mountain Evangelical Free Church, 451 Promontory Drive, in Estes Park, at 1:30 p.m. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Don's life. The family would like to thank Summit Church for the prayers, support and profound lovingkindness shown the Peterson family; to Riverplace for their amazing support of their son Karl; to Rocky Church for providing the lovely space for his celebration, and to Hospice of the Estes Valley for their devoted, compassionate, loving care of Don in his last few months, making the end of his life a most amazing experience for Don and his family. Memorial donations may be made to Hospice of the Estes Valley (555 Prospect Avenue, Estes Park CO 80517).

Caroline Weldin Caroline Ridgeway Weldin passed away peacefully at home on June 3, 2016 after a nearly two-year battle with leukemia.

She was born to Dr. Cecil and Lucile Ridgeway in Portland, Oregon on November 22, 1936. After a brief stay in Oregon, she lived most of her childhood and many of her adult years in southern California. Caroline married Lee D. Weldin on April 30, 1955 in Long Beach, CA. They moved to the Denver area in 1973 and then to Estes Park in 1982 where they bought and operated Riverview Pines Motel and One Hour Photo. Caroline was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister.

She spent most of her years as a stay at home mom raising their five daugh-

ters. She was an avid antique collector and had several stores through the years. She and her husband also sold items at regional antique stores and antique shows across the United States. She also spent time working as a paraprofessional at an elementary school and as a realtor. Caroline enjoyed sewing, crocheting, watching Fox news and spending time with her family. Caroline was quite creative.

When the girls were young, she sewed many of their outfits and was an excellent seamstress. Over the years, she also created and sold multiple hand-

made craft items to supplement the family income.

Caroline is survived by her husband of 61 years, Lee Weldin, daughters Teri Salerno (Tony) of Estes Park, Kathi Weldin of Fort Collins, Nancy Kuhlman (Keith) of Sierra Vista, AZ, Vicki Weibel (Curt) of Lyons and Wendy Allen of Greeley.

She is also survived by two brothers, Terry Ridgeway and his wife Penni, of Tucson, AZ, and Ralph Ridgeway of Santa Fe, NM, plus her 98 year-old mother-in-law, Katheryn Bonar, of

Kalama, WA. Additionally, Caroline is survived by six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Preceding her in death are her parents and a grandson, Jeffery Giles.

The family is holding a Celebration of Life for Caroline on Wednesday June 22 at 5:00 p.m. at the Christian Church of Estes Park; 4655 US Hwy 36. All are welcome; please bring a story or two to share if you wish! The main course, beverages and dessert will be provided.

Please bring a side dish to share if you can. Memorial contributions can be made in Caroline’s name to the Hospice of the Estes Valley in care of Allnutt Funeral Service, 1302 Graves Avenue, Estes Park, CO 80517. See www.allnutt.com to send a message to Caroline’s family.

Author Mary Taylor Young In RMNP Xanterra Parks & Resorts is proud to announce author Mary Taylor Young, author of Rocky Mountain National Park: The First 100 Years will be signing her book at the Trail Ridge Store in Rocky Mountain National Park on Friday, June 24, 2016 at 1:00 p.m.

Mary Taylor Young spent her childhood summers roaming the Colorado Rockies and spending time at her grandparents cabin in Estes Park. Her love of nature and the outdoors led her to a degree in Zoology from Colorado State University. She has spent her life devoted to wild things in nature and the environment. Mary has written 15 books prior to Rocky Mountain National Park: The First 100 Years.

Even though Rocky Mountain National Park was established in 1915, the park goes back billions of years. In this book you will be able to journey back to the rise

and fall of the mountains. Meet the ancient peoples that traveled through these majestic mountains to hunt. Discover adventurers like Joel Estes, Abner Sprague and Enos Mills who became legends over time.

Rocky Mountain National Park: The First 100 Years will take you through how engineers sculpted Trail Ridge Road and the CCC crews that built trails. Explore how rangers have rescued lost hikers and how researchers have tirelessly tried to preserve the fragile tundra. This book will be the beginning of your exploration into Rocky Mountain National Park.

Join Xanterra Parks & Resorts in welcoming Mary Taylor Young and begin your journey and your love of this glorious park that many of us call home and enjoy on a daily basis.
