Town Offers Free Mulch And Compost Following Snowstorm The May snowstorm resulted in an abundance of broken trees and branches in Town parks and open space. The Town of Estes Park Parks Division has chipped this material into mulch and is offering it at no cost to residents for personal use. The mulch is mostly woody material, generally free of pine needles, and is suitable for use in flower beds to help retain soil moisture.

Also available at no cost is excess compost from last year's grass clippings and annual plantings. This material has not been tested or certified to be weed-free and is offered to the public "as-is."

Mulch and compost may be collected at the Town's property at 666 Elm Rd. The site will be open for self-service Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. until all materials have been claimed. No staff or equipment will be available to assist with loading or handling. Dumping of storm slash, pine needles or other materials is prohibited. By recycling this material, taxpayers will save approximately $500 for each dumpster load that would otherwise be hauled off and place in the landfill.

The Public Works Department will partner with the Estes Valley Fire Protection District June 23-25 to accept tree branches for disposal. For a list of accepted materials and other details, please visit www.estesvalleyfire.org.

For more information, please call the Town of Estes Park Parks Division at 970577-3783.

Be Aware And Use Caution During Elk Calving Season Elk calving season takes place each spring. During this time, female elk, or cows, become irritable and highly protective of their young calves. Though they may look harmless, like the bull elk during the rut, cows are extremely dangerous during calving season.

Known calving areas should be avoided and caution should be exercised at all times during calving season.

The bird sanctuary along the l h Lake k Estes Trail is a common place for the elk to give birth, however births can take place in any area. For safety it is important to obey the “trail closed� signs and take a different route.

Be watchful in residential neighborhoods, as people have been injured at

their homes by walking out the door and unknowingly getting between a cow elk and her calf.

Safe elk and wildlife viewing means keeping a safe distance and following these helpful tips: • Be aware of your surroundings. Elk are everywhere and you never know when you may be near a cow and calf. • If you see that a trail is closed during calving, obey the warning and head the

other way. • Elk are wild animals which must be observed from a safe distance to avoid injury or death. If an animal is carefully

watching you and appears “jumpyâ€? when you move, you are too close. • Keep pets secured on a leash and do not allow them to bark at, lunge at, or chase wildlife. • Never block traffic. Move your vehicle to a safe place completely off the roadway to watch elk. • Elk know no boundaries, but people do. Respect private property when viewing wildlife. • Mule deer does can also be aggressive during fawning season, which typically occurs just after the elk calving season. • Be sure to supervise small children near elk.

Protective elk that are endangering people should be reported to the Estes Park Police Department at 970-5864000. The Estes Park Police Department does enforce wildlife laws that include laws against feeding or harassing wildlife, or allowing one’s pet to harass wildlife.

Business Bright Spot Returns For A Second Year The Estes Park in Bloom steering committee is excited to offer a monthly column as a platform for the community to share information, expertise, and passion about projects that align with the committee’s goal of engaging the community in beautification, preservation, environmental efforts and civic pride.

By: Kelly Wilkerson, Estes Park in Bloom steering committee

Each summer the Estes Park in Bloom steering committee has the honor of awarding several local businesses with the “Business Bright Spot” award. This award encourages businesses to contribute positively to the appearance of our community and allows them to be recognized for the efforts they put into flowers and landscaping. It also provides residents a chance to be involved by nominating businesses for the award. This joining of businesses and residents to recognize the beauty of our town is a unique opportunity to unite our community in pride. It is such a privilege for me to be involved in this effort and I love seeing the community work together to ensure that our residents and visitors have beautiful flowers and landscaping to enjoy during the summer months.

To really understand how special this designation is, I’d like to share comments from some of our previous winners…

"It was an honor for me to receive the award. I think it is wonderful to encourage businesses to add to the beauty of Estes Park. The comment that I hear the most from visitors is how beautiful it is here. It is a pleasure to take care of this beautiful place." This comment from Cynthia Burt, owner of Bear Necessities and Cubs, really sums up the program.

The Business Bright Spot award really is a great opportunity to bring the community together to beautify our town.

"The Business Bright Spot award was not only a humbling honor; it really brought a lot of attention to Inkwell &

Brew. People read about it in the paper or online and sought us out just to see our flowers.” Kevin F. Reed, Inkwell & Brew.

“We were so proud to receive the Business Bright Spot award, plaque and sign display. It was fun and easy to participate.

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Keri.” Ken and Carrie Arnold, Deer Crest Resort on Fall River.

Our past recipients see it as an honor to be selected as a “Business Bright Spot” and obviously everyone in our community, including our visitors, benefits from having beautiful landscaping and flowers. As a member of the local Estes Park in Bloom steering committee, it truly is an honor to be involved in such a special, communitywide effort.

The Estes Park in Bloom steering committee is excited continue the “Business Bright Spot” program in 2017. Members of the steering committee will choose and announce the winner every other Friday beginning mid-June. To nominate a business please contact Keri Kelly at 970-577-3782. Businesses are also encouraged to display hanging baskets and flower pots or beds at their stores in anticipation of the judges’ arrival July 10, 2017.

Estes Park in Bloom is a communitywide effort involving businesses, residents, Town government and YMCA of the Rockies whose mission is to promote beautification for the Town of Estes Park.

Current members of the steering committee include representatives from the Town of Estes Park, YMCA of the Rockies, Visit Estes Park, Estes Valley Partners for Commerce and the Estes Valley Restaurant Partners.

If you are interested in contributing an article for Estes Park in Bloom or for more information on how to become involved in the Estes Park in Bloom project, contact Keri Kelly at 970-577-3782 or kkelly@estes.org.

Trail Ridge Road Opens For The 2017 Season Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park is open for the season.

Due to melting snow on the road visitors should be prepared for icy conditions.

Alpine Visitor Center and Trail Ridge Store are anticipated to open later this week. At this time, night time closures will not be implemented. Because weather conditions may change rapidly, park visitors should be prepared to adjust travel plans accordingly and are encouraged to call the park’s Trail Ridge Road recorded phone line at (970) 586-1222.

Park staff will update the recorded line during and after regular office hours, when the road status changes.

Trail Ridge Road historically opens on Memorial Day weekend; last year the road opened on May 28. The earliest the road has opened was on May 7, 2002; the latest June 26, 1943. Trail Ridge Road is the highest continuous paved road in the United States, climbs to 12,183 feet and connects the towns of Estes Park and Grand Lake. Trail Ridge Road officially

closed for the season last year on November 18.

National Park Service plow operators normally begin clearing the snow in the middle of April. Crews from the west side of the park and crews from the east side of the park move along the road and eventually meet at the Alpine Visitor Center. The visitor center is the highest in the National Park Service, sitting at 11,796 feet above sea level. Spring storms often impact plowing activities. On May 18 and May 19 of this year, a major snowstorm occurred on the east side of the park, dropping more than three feet of snow in lower elevations of the park.

Plow operators faced 8 to 14 feet of snow at higher elevations, hampering efforts to open Trail Ridge Road by Memorial Day weekend.

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

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com At my niece’s high school graduation ceremony, we sat high in the bleachers and observed 600+ seniors parade onto the football field, blue robes fluttering and mortarboard tassels swinging. We watched intently as the class of 2017 filed into its perfectly lined up rows of chairs, stadium lights casting a white glow over the senior class of Oak Ridge High. (Sounds like it comes straight out of a movie, doesn’t it?) “Is that her? � one of us pointed in the direction of the 50 yard line. “No, her hair is longer than that. � “What about that one? � “Nope. She wore tan shoes. That one has black shoes on. � (I declare, every young woman in a robe was wearing tall wedge shoes. I don’t own a pair of wedge shoes and was utterly unaware of the latest fashion trend until I Ellen sat through a high school graduation. How do they stand on those things without twisting an ankle?)

(Do I sound like an old auntie or what!)

Finally we saw Ellen with her “Teacher of the Year Award� speech rolled up in one hand. “There she is! � we said to each other, and then waited until she looked our way.

When she turned in our general direction, we stood and waved and hooted and called her name, because she appeared to be looking right at us. I could swear we had eye contact. But then she turned away,

oblivious to our presence.

We were surrounded by fans just like us, each trying to get the attention of the one down on the field with whom we had a connection.

Funny thing: we had dropped Ellen off just a few minutes earlier so she could join her classmates for their entrance to Pomp and Circumstance. Why was it so important that we catch her eye now, so she could see us wildly wave with our arms above our heads like nut jobs?

Eventually we did get Ellen to see us and we were rewarded when she beamed her beautiful smile at us. We were so proud of her, a star soccer player and girls soccer coach, an AP student with stellar grades, the class vicepresident, a competitive swimmer, and a ukulele strummer in her spare time, looking so confident and excited and full of the future. Oh, to look ahead with such an open heart! The thought of it—of the great, wide, beautiful, wonderful world—bright with infinite possibilities—hovering in front of Ellen like a flying carpet—brought a tear to my eye.

Congratulations Ellen, and to all the graduates of 2017 for the promise you bring to our future.

Arts And Commerce Evening Members of the Estes Valley Partners for Commerce and the Estes Arts District, along with their guests, enjoyed a productive event last Thursday at the Fall River Visitor Center. Originally scheduled for May 15 and postponed

by Mother Nature, host Rocky Mountain Conservancy simply rescheduled by one week. The Trailhead Restaurant provided a savory repast of salami and cheeses, vegetable platters, sautĂŠed mushrooms and hot peppers. As usual, libations were provided by our craft beverage consortium: Elkins Distillery, Estes Park Brewery, Lumpy Ridge Brewing Company, Rockcut Brewing Company and Snowy Peaks Winery.

Abner Sprague, with some assistance from Kurtis Kelly, entertained everyone with tales of his Rocky Mountain National Park adventures. Fine artist Cydney Springer showcased paintings inspired by Rocky Mountain Park vistas.

And Nick MollĂŠ, a man of many talents, introduced, by virtue of guitar and vocal solos, the score from his new (PBS 2018) movie, “Nature of the Beasts.â€? To close the evening, RM Conservancy and the Gateway Shops provided door prizes of RMNP souvenirs. It is so delightful to be

able to conduct business in such an amiable atmosphere. Nick reflected the thoughts of all attendees in saying, “It is a pleasure to be here in the Park.�

More Silent Films=More Fun For 2017 The past few years, the Historic Park Theatre has run a four day silent movie festival during the summer.

This year, there will be many more opportunities to see silent movies.

Every Friday at 5 p.m. in July and August, the Historic Park Theatre will pre-sent silent films. Each week will feature a different giant of the past: people like Charlie Chaplin, Charlie Chase, Laurel and Hardy, Buster Keaton and Fatty Arbuckle.

This will be the sixth year for silent movies in Estes Park. One reason for the expanded schedule in 2017 is the growing popularity of the festival. Since each Friday will feature a different actor, there will be many more choices this year.

Returning for his fourth appearance will be piano accompanist Scott “Flying Fingers” Wilseck. Attendees who arrive early get to listen to old time piano music before the films begin as well as Scott’s melodies that provide an excellent background for the action on the screen.

Scott says, “When I was a kid, they showed silent films in Chicago at the

Museum of Science and Industry. While the films were entertaining, I was fascinated by the live piano playing in the theatre. The music was mostly ragtime and really took you back to that era. I’ve always loved playing rag-time and the silent films provide an excellent venue for that type of music. ” The first Friday, July 7, will feature Buster Keaton in three films; “Out West,” “The Boat” and “One Week.”

So come to the Historic Park Theatre at 5 p.m. July 7 and step back in time. It will be an old-fashioned experience that dates back to the 1910s and 1920s. The theatre itself was built in 1903 and is the oldest movie theatre west of the Mississippi River. The piano is over 100 years old.

Fortunately, the piano player is a little younger than that.

Wendy Koenig Passes Baton On To Cory Workman At Community Hearing Center Dear Estes Park Community and Community Hearing Center Patients, I want to thank all of you for allowing me to provide your hearing healthcare for the past 28 years. I so appreciate all of you supporting Community Hearing Center!

I have been an audiologist for 40 years!

My how time flies! The past 28 business years in Estes Park have been the most satisfying! I will miss our conversations I enjoyed as I worked to improve your hearing healthcare!

Cory Workman, Au.D has purchased Community Hearing Center. I believe he is honest, hardworking and has in-depth knowledge regarding hearing loss, dizziness, hearing aid technology, ear wax removal and noise protection. He has a care philosophy that will compliment the one you have been used to over these past years. He is honoring your hearing aid warranties outlined in your purchase agreements, and all new hearing aid owners will be provided two six month wax and hearing aid cleanings and the

first annual pure tone threshold hearing recheck at no charge, per your agreements with me.

Cory and his beautiful family will be a great addition to Estes Park! I hope you will feel very comfortable continuing your hearing health care at Community Hearing Center with your new audiologist.

Please allow Cory to introduce himself to you!

Cory, “Thank you Wendy! As previously stated, I am Cory Workman Au.D Board Certified Audiologist and a graduate from Idaho State University - Go Bengals! I am a native of Idaho, but after completing my residency in Grand Junction at a large Ear, Nose, & Throat physician's clinic, my family claims Colorado as home. After my residency and working for a time in Grand Junction we left the state to be closer to family in Idaho.

But now we are ready for the next chapter in our lives. My wife, Melinda and our two girls Samantha and Natalie are excited to return to Colorado and to be a part of the community in Estes Park.

When not at work and school, my family and I can be found biking, skiing, hiking, and exploring the great outdoors.

We also enjoy musicals, theatre, and are always on the lookout for live music. We love to travel and look forward to explor-

ing all the Estes Valley has to offer.

In my work as an audiologist, I have taken a special interest in hearing loss and balance disorders. I recently completed an extensive training course in the assessment of balance disorders in Chicago with one of the leading experts in the world and I look forward to bringing the tools I learned to the people I serve. I have worked with a varied population with hearing loss from infants to adults with both hearing aids and implantable hearing devices; such as cochlear implants and bone anchored hearing aids. Bringing back the world of sound to my patients is one of the most rewarding parts of being an audiologist.

I have been a part of the Special Olympics Healthy Hearing program bringing hearing care to athletes across

the world. I have also been involved with the national Student Academy of Audiology board of directors for two years as a student and was the president of the Colorado Academy of Audiology from 2014 to 2015.

As Wendy passes the baton for Community Hearing Center to me, I look forward to continuing the 28 year long tradition of excellent service for the residents of the Estes Valley. I am excited to meet each of you and continue to serve you as a patient of Community Hearing Center. We will continue to sell the best and service the rest. I look forward to seeing you in the office and around the valley!�

With Appreciation and Anticipation, Wendy Koenig, An.D. & Cory Workman, Au.D.

Yarn Bombing At The Old Church Shops

The annual Memorial Day Weekend yarn bombing has taken place at the Old Church Shops at 157 W. Elkhorn. The colorful knitted and crocheted yarn pieces are wrapped around posts, railings, the gumball machine and the seating areas in the Mall. The outdoor nymph who welcomes visitors is wearing her yarn attire. The inside plants show off fiber birds and birdhouses. You may even spot a mouse or two if you look carefully. Or maybe you will be lucky enough to see the purple lizard.

The Estes Park Area Weaver’s Guild started this event in 2012 when they opened the Weavers Attic on the 3rd floor to show off the vintage looms, introduce

the public to hand weaving and display the tools of weaving and hand woven items. Currently there is a special exhibit of EPAWG members’ fiber projects on display in conjunction with Fiber Affair which features fiber exhibits throughout the Estes Area.

The Art Center of Estes Park and The Studio of Fine Art & Framing in Stanley Village Shopping Center and the Stitchin’ Den at the Courtyard Shops have also participated in yarn bombing the trees near their businesses. International Yarn Bombing Day which is meant to highlight the fiber arts will be on Sunday, June 11, 2017. Estes Park will be ready.

Do You Have Room In Your Home And Your Heart For One Of These Sweet Pets?

Buster is an adorable dappled dachshund, about eight years old. He does well with people (including kids), other dogs and kitties. He is friendly, house trained, enjoys walks, gives great hugs and his coat is super soft!

Muddles the cat is a very pretty, four year old long haired torte cat who is sweet and loving. She needs a new home since her owner recently passed away.

Holly and Sissy are a bonded pair of older chihuahuas. They are very sweet, about 15 and 9 years old. This pair was surrendered at a high kill shelter in CA. It took a lot to get them here to give them a chance at life. They do great with other dogs and people and are super lovable lap dogs who are house trained. We would love to adopt them together if we can.

Lexi is an Aussie mix, about three years old. She is still a bit scared and still settling in. She walks nicely on a leash and seems to do well with other dogs and people. She would probably be best with older kids that don’t move really fast.

She is at Dr. C's Animal Hospital of the Rockies, call 586-4703 to set up a time to meet Lexi.

Stop down to the Pet Lodge at the Animal Medical Center on Manford Avenue to meet Muddles, Holly & Sissy or Buster or call 586-9282 for more information.

All pets are offered through the Pet Association of Estes Park, a non-profit organization that works to find homes for stray and abandoned pets, control dog

and cat populations by funding sterilization programs, educate members of the community, especially young people, about the humane treatment of animals and the responsibilities of pet ownership; and promote community involvement in the use of pets as therapeutic agents (e.g., in nursing homes).

Estes Park Learning Place At Boys And Girls Club This Summer

The Learning Place is collaborating with Boys & Girls Club again this summer to provide reading and math instruction during the month of June. Tutors are busy planning fun learning activities to reinforce skills. Summer programs can have positive effects on student achievement. When children do not use the skills they have learned during the school year, they lose, on average, one month of skills over the summer months.

Because tutoring is being offered at no charge to children attending Boys & Girls

Club, the Learning Place is requesting help from community businesses and individuals who would like to sponsor this summer program. Funding is needed to help pay tutors and for needed classroom supplies.

To support the efforts of the Estes Park Learning Place please send a check to the Estes Park Learning Place, 600 S. St. Vrain, Unit 2, Estes Park, CO 80517, or go to www.eplearningplace.org and click on the “donate” button.

Thank You From The Trahans

To The Editor: I received this beautiful angel from my husband and I asked him, "What is it for?” He said, "Just because I love you.”

I thought this would be a great time to tell all of you how much we appreciate and love you.

I want to thank everyone who took a lit-

tle bit of time out of their day on May 12th to make our "Slow it Down" scholarship bingo (in memory of our son Keith Trahan) such a great success!

Thank you to the all of the businesses in town that donated to this fund, and thank you to everyone who personally donated. Thank you to all of you who came to play bingo. A great big thank you to everyone who donated their precious time to help pull this off. We love to kick off bingo nights with this great scholarship fund.

Because of this successful night, we were able to give $500 scholarships to three deserving students this year. Our recipients are Sarah Weeks, Caden Brown and Jacob Louk. Congratulations to all and good luck and always remember to slow it down! God bless from our family to yours, Anni, Rich, Thomas and Courtney

I’M A ‘WINNER’…AND SO ARE YOU! I’m a fan of classic western music. (Shows you how old I am). However, I really enjoy songs that have a humorous twist. One of the best of past years was a song by Bobby Bare, entitled “The winner”. It tells the story of a ‘would-be’ winner who sees a man who, having had numerous fights, always came out the winner. He decides he could probably pick a fight with him and come out the ‘winner’. He approaches the man and challenges him to ‘come outside, let’s find out who’s the winner’. The man asks him if he really wants to be a ‘winner’, then begins to describe all the things he has experienced …lost…in order to become a ‘winner’: “these bright white smilin’ teeth, you know they ain’t my own. Mine rolled away like chicklets down that street in San Antone”; ”this broken back was the act of handsome Harry Clay”; “you gotta speak loud when you challenge me, son, it’s hard for me to hear, with this twisted neck, and migraine pains, and ole cauliflower ear”; “if it wasn’t for this glass eye of mine, I’d shed a happy tear to think of all you’re gonna get by bein’ a winner”. “I’ve got arthritic elbows, boy, I’ve got dislocated knees, and my nose has been broken so often I might lose it if I sneeze” and “you say you still wanna be a winner?” “Well, okay, I quit, I lose, you’re the winner!”

The song concludes: “I stumbled from that barroom, not so tall, not so proud, and behind me I heard laughter from the crowd. But my eyes still see, my nose still works, and my teeth are still in my mouth, and, you know, I guess that makes me a winner!”

There are many lessons that we could take away from this song. One is that if we ‘want to be a winner’ there will be costs incurred and we need to be willing to pay the price for winning. Success in any endeavor is not going to come easy or without a great deal of effort and, even, possible pain. When Jesus was asked by two disciples if they could have a special place in His kingdom, he asked them, “Can you drink the cup?”...are you willing to pay the price? They said they were…but Jesus knew they didn’t know what it would take to hold such a special place of honor.

Another lesson that I got as I remembered this song over the past Memorial Day, is that while the ‘winner’ in the song had engaged in fights for his own personal pride, many did not and do not. Memorial Day in the past was a day when I took my out-of-shape body and walked the Boulder Bolder. My favorite part each year was sitting in the stands after the race, witnessing the moving patriotic activities that honored our service men and women. This year I did it from my living room…but the result was the same. I wept. Watching the ‘missing man’ flyover, skydivers floating down to honor the military branches, the music and 21-gun salute by our service men, and the speeches made by three veterans, honored for years of sacrificial service, I ‘teared up’ several times.

I wept as I remembered the millions who have served and suffered, not so that they could be ‘winners’, but so that the rest of us could be. Many of them came back with injuries similar to or surpassing the injuries described above…or they didn’t come back at all…so that the rest of us and our wonderful nation, could be ‘winners’.

God bless America and thanks to all of you who sacrificed so much and served so well to enable us to experience all the blessings that we daily enjoy. If you are sitting at home reading this and you are one of these ‘winners’, know that I am taking my hat off to you today.

God bless and thanks! Bob

All interested model railroaders and train enthusiasts are invited to come to the meeting and enjoy the program. Our meetings are always open to interested people young and old. This month’s program is about club member

Steve Anderson’s garden railroad. The railroad started simply on a rear deck in 2002 and mushroomed into an empire which included over 900 feet of track and 200 trestles. The railroad was dismantled in 2006, due to a move, not long after it was featured at the International Railway Convention.

On June 3, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., an open house will be available to the public at the new railroad location in Steve Anderson’s back yard at 318 Columbine Ave. Call him at 719-588-8390 if there are any questions.

This year the Estes Land Stewardship Association (ELSA), Larimer County and the Town of Estes Park will hold three separate Weed Roundup events. The events take place July 22, Aug. 26 and Sept. 23 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at 666 Elm Road. Pulled weeds must be in large paper lawn bags, available at local hardware and lawn and gar-

den stores. Plastic bags and non-weed materials cannot be accepted. Event updates will be provided at www.estes.org/weeds.

The Town-sponsored free weed dropoff site has closed due to funding constraints and public misuse by dumping trash and other materials. Residents may dispose of noxious weeds at the three, free Weed Roundups or pay a standard disposal fee at the Estes Park Transfer Station.

For more information please contact the Town of Estes Park Parks Division at 970-577-3783.

“If Israel Is The Chosen People What About The Rest Of Us?”

“If Israel is the chosen people what about the rest of us?” is a program which will be held on Sunday, June 11th from 4:00-6:00 p.m. at Rocky Mountain Church Eitan Shishkoff, Director of Tents of Mercy, a Messianic congregation in Haifa, Israel, will be speaking in Estes Park. He will be sharing his heart burden for the Jewish and Gentile disciples of Yeshua (Jesus) to walk together in God’s purposes in the latter days. Delving into Israel’s ancient prophets as well as the New Covenant, we will explore this relationship and its thrilling ramifications for today!

For more information, contact Alison Gilbert at 970-577-0003.

Eitan and Connie came to faith in Yeshua in 1972 while living the hippie lifestyle in the mountains of New Mexico, USA. From 1981-1992 Eitan served at Beth Messiah Messianic Congregation in Maryland.

During the dramatic exodus of Jews from the former Soviet Union, Eitan received a vision from the Lord. He was shown a desert oasis, representing a ministry of mercy to the multitudes of immigrants about to arrive in Israel.

In 1992 the Shishkoff family moved to Israel. Three years later, the dream of serving the needy immigrant & native Israeli community became a reality when they moved to the Kriyot and began Tents of Mercy Congregation (Ohalei Rachamim).

Drawn to the first century model of congregation-planting, the Tents of Mercy leadership team has fostered the equipping and release of new leaders who have established four additional congregations, creating a network of covenanted ministries. Eitan's burden to work with the next generations also led him to help establish KATZIR (Harvest) a national ministry of conferences for Israeli Messianic youth.

southeast side of the building at the top of the wall between the upper level and the new addition to the aquatic center.

EVRPD staff members, board members and members from the Town of Estes Park joined in the momentous occasion.

Eleven Competing In Crowns For The Care In its inaugural year, eleven local women will be competing in the Rooftop Rodeo’s Crowns for the Care. The sole determinant for which one will be crowned “Mrs. Rooftop Rodeo” is the amount of funds they raise for the Estes Park Medical Center Oncology Department. As with other Paint Estes Pink activities, all of the donations they collect will benefit EPMC patients facing any form of cancer.

This year the focus is on purchasing two new IV pumps that precisely administer medications like chemotherapy. There has been a growing demand for oncology services in Estes and this new equipment will ensure EPMC can meet the needs.

“These women are so inspiring,” said Linda Moak, founder of the Crowns for the Care competition.

“Each has committed to making a difference for Estes residents who are facing cancer. Many are dedicating their efforts to a friend or loved one.”

2017 Crowns for the Care Contestants · Joy Barnett · Sharron Bryan · Maggie Daubin · Erika Federico · Jessie Finch · Christina Kraft · Michelle Purdy · Jodi Rasmussen · Dee Robinson · Liz Tate · Karla Van Drie Help Crown Mrs. Rooftop Rodeo You can help your favorite Crowns for the Care contestant by donating at GiveToEPMC.org/CrownsForTheCare and including her name in the comments field. Or you can write a check to “EPMC Foundation” with her name on the memo line and mail it to the Foundation at P.O. Box 3650, Estes Park, CO 80517.

To learn about the other Paint Estes Pink campaign efforts, visit GiveToEPMC.org/pink or contact Kevin Mullin at 970577-4306 or kmullin@epmedcenter.com.

DIRECTOR OF GOLF

On The Links Schools out for the summer! Our Junior Golf program will start on June 5th with the boy’s program. The girl’s program will start June 12th, and we will be offering a third week June 19th for boy’s and girl’s. All of these four day classes are for kids nine to 17 years of age. We are also offering three, one hour free clinics for kids ages six to eight. Information is available at www.golfestes.com or stop by the 18-Hole pro shop to sign up.

The 6th annual Wheel Bar Putt-Putt tournament was on Sunday, May 21st at the Wheel Bar. The tournament is put on to benefit junior golf here in the Estes Valley and usually takes place at Fun City. The three-foot snow storm forced Ty Nagl to design a great nine-hole putt putt course inside the Wheel Bar. Kim Carlson, Ty Nagl, and their wonderful staff at the Wheel Bar, organized 94 participants and help raise $1,560 for the junior golf program. On behalf of the junior golfers, I would like to thank all of them and the participants for making

this happen. Fun was had by all and Chris Michaelis took home the coveted Green Jacket with an outstanding score of 21.

The Golf and Grub is making a return at the 18-Hole golf course this coming Tuesday, June 6th at 5:00 p.m. The event is a five-hole game of golf with food after at Smokin Dave’s BBQ at the Hangar Restaurant. The cost is $20 per person and includes the five-hole green fee with cart, a beverage, and an appetizer at Smoking Dave’s after the golf.

With the two courses now available, please remember to call for tee times as both courses are starting to get busy.

Both courses are in great shape and the 9-hole golf course now has motorized carts available for rent. Our teaching professionals Austin Logan and Bob Shuler are available for help with your game. For information about lessons or other golf related questions call 970-586-8146 at the 18-hole, or 970-586-8176 at the 9-hole.

For adults, summer reading encourages lifelong learning while stimulating the imagination.

Visit the Library to sign up and obtain your Summer Reading Program materials and in-formation.

Over many years, the train set has been literally loved to pieces. Just in time for summer, the Estes Valley Model Railroaders have restored and repaired the set, donating time and materials in combining sets, putting tracks together, adding glue, screws, and extra finishes to the tops of model buildings to extend

their life.

The Library thanks Laura Trump, Fred Mares, John Thut and the entire Railroaders club for their generosity. * Children’s Block Party for Ages 0-6 Saturday, June 3 at 11:00 a.m., Hondius Room Block Stations will be set up in the Hondius Room for children’s play time.

Saturday storytime takes place at 10:30 a.m., followed by this special activity. No sign-up necessary. * Builder’s Club for Ages 6-11: Keva Planks Thursday, June 8, 2:00-3:00 p.m., Hondius Room Keva planks are small wooden building blocks. The Youth Services team will provide the materials and assist young people as they construct spirals, tower bridges, and more.

Summertime, And The Reading Is Easy

By Melanie Kozlowski, Youth and Family Services Librarian

Summer reading. Two words that go together in perfect bliss.

There are many reasons to love this season: sunshine, outdoor barbecues, farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets, road trips, camping, hiking.

And once again, the Estes Valley Library is helping to put reading on that alluring list.

This year, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re again hosting Summer Reading Programs for all ages: adults, teens, kids, even toddlers listening to books being read. Reading in the summer is a great source of joy, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also about much more.

For students on summer break, studies have proven that reading for pleasure is one of the best antidotes to a phenomenon called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;summer slideâ&#x20AC;?. Students who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read during the summer find themselves playing catch-up for up to three months once school resumes. Summer reading, on the other hand, keeps learning skills sharp.

Moreover, studies have proven that library programs yield outstanding results.

In one survey, 96% of students say they read more thanks to the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer reading programs.

For adults, we tend to have happy memories of summertime reading, but all too often find ourselves saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time. â&#x20AC;? But by scheduling time for reading, we can rediscover all the fulfillment this pastime brings to our lives.

Reading for adults offers a path to lifelong learning, the satisfaction of curiosity, the stimulation of imagination.

The Library nurtures these goals all year long. And summer reading blends with fun and creative incentives.

Each year, Summer Reading Programs

are built around a unifying theme, which is developed nationally, then adapted locally by libraries across America. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Build a Better Worldâ&#x20AC;?, a building and construction theme in the literal sense, and figuratively a call to make life better for ourselves and others.

Children will delight in Builderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club creativity times, life-sized Legos freeplay, along with book clubs and great reading prizes. Teens will take part in Youth in Service events, enriching summer by helping others, while also having fun through a readersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; celebration at the Open Air Outdoor Adventure Park.

Every child and teen participant will have the opportunity to choose from quality new paperback books, as part of the Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to place books in the home of every Estes Valley family. Studies show a direct link between books at home and students becoming better readers.

Adult participants will help do their part in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Building a Better Worldâ&#x20AC;?. For each completed reading Game Card, the Library will donate books and supplies to its sister city library in Monteverde, Costa Rica.

We thank the many sponsors of the 2017 Summer Reading Programs: the Estes Valley Library Friends & Foundation, Colorado Rapids Soccer, Elitch Gardens, and the Open Air Out-door Adventure Park, among others.

Stop by the library to pick up a reading log for yourself and for the whole family.

And look for full details on all of this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great programs, listed in the newest issue of our programs and services guide, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gatherings.â&#x20AC;?

May you revel in reading delight this summer.

Thanks To Community Thrift Store And Local Residents From P.E.O. Chapter IY Estes Park is known for its community support and outreach to help local non-profit organizations. P.E.O. Chapter IY greatly appreciates the opportunity to help achieve the goals of helping women further their education through scholarships, grants, and low-interest loans.

Prizes To Please Pro And Duffer Alike In Rotary Golf Tourney By: Rita DuChateau, Rotary Club of Estes Park

Is it the love of the game or the list of great prizes that’s attracting golfers to this year’s tournament?

For most who have signed up for the Saturday, June 24 event, it’s both. The range of prizes for the 2017 tournament will make Beach Shots (sand traps) or Barkies (hitting a tree) as rewarding as an “A Game”.

Each member of the winning foursome will earn a $100 gift certificate to the Estes Park Golf Course Pro Shop. Members of the second place team will collect $50 gift certificates from The Dunraven Restaurant.

Third place team members will take home $25 gift certificates to The Dunraven. New this year, the team with the lowest gross score will also be recognized. Four players whose shots land closest to the pin on Par 3 holes will earn $100 gift certificates to the Estes Park Golf Course Pro Shop. That’s more than $1,000 in prizes for the top golfers.

In addition, gift certificates will be offered in contests for putting, most accurate drive and longest putt. Separate prizes are offered for men and women in the most accurate drive and longest putt competition, including a round of golf for four with a golf cart on the 18-hole course.

Kirk Fisher

Prizes will be awarded after the tournament in The Hangar Restaurant, where participants will refuel on complimentary snacks. All golfers will receive a Rotary souvenir. Registration forms are available at the pro shop and also at www.rotaryclubofestespark.org under the Golf tab. The $100 fee includes green fees, cart, participation gift and snacks.

Players with an annual seven-day membership at the Estes Park Golf Course have a reduced registration fee of $65.

The 21st Annual Rotary Scholarship

Mountain Brokers

Benefit Golf Tournament partners with Salute to Americana, the Shred-A-Thon, and the Rotary Foundation to raise $24,000 for three, four-year academic scholarships awarded annually to local graduates. Through this tournament, The Stanley Hotel also funds a $2,500 scholarship for students planning to pursue a career in hotel or restaurant management, hospitality or wellness.

“Every golfer and sponsor counts in reaching our goal,” said Bruce Carmichael, chairman of the tournament

committee.

The Stanley Hotel has committed to a named scholarship again this year, University of Colorado Health and the Estes Park Medical Center will be Gold Sponsors, and Bank of Colorado will sponsor the Drink Cart. Silver Sponsors include Eagle Plume's, Egg & I, Estes Park Team Realty - Jay Harroff, Lanty McCartney at GreatGolfOnlyBetter.com, Ron & Vivian Gordon, and Safeway.

Diversify with Bonds (Even If Rates Are Low) If you’ve needed a mortgage or another type of loan over the past several years, you’ve probably appreciated the historically low interest rates we’ve experienced.

But if you’ve wanted to own fixed-rate investments, such as bonds, you might have been less pleased at the low-rate environment. Now, interest rates may be moving up somewhat, but even if they don’t hit the heights we saw in previous decades, you can still gain some key advantages from owning bonds.

One of the biggest benefits provided by bonds is their ability to help you diversify a stock portfolio. Stocks and bonds often move in different directions – in fact, the same economic or political forces that can be bad for stocks might be good for bonds, and vice versa. Consequently, if you own a reasonable percentage of bonds, you may not be as vulnerable to the impact of those inevitable downturns in the stock market. Keep in mind, though, that diversification can’t guarantee profits or protect you against losses.

Of course, the other major attribute of bonds is the regular income they provide through interest payments. Unless the issuer defaults – an event that’s generally unlikely, assuming you purchase quality, “investment-grade” bonds – you can count on receiving the same payments for the life of your bond. Then, once your bond matures, you’ll get back the original principal, again assuming the issuer doesn’t default. The ability to receive regular payments may help improve your cash flow and possibly help you avoid selling stocks to meet unexpected costs, such as an expensive car repair. And holding your bond until maturity can help you plan to meet specific goals; for example, if your child will be starting college in five years, you can buy a bond scheduled to mature at the same time, providing you with an influx of cash you

can use for tuition and other school expenses.

Still, despite the benefits of diversification, steady income and the repayment of principal, you may find it hard to ignore the relatively low interest rates you’re seeing on your bonds. This is especially true if market rates rise, causing the value of your bonds to fall. (Investors won’t pay you the full price – that is, the face value – of your bonds when they can buy new ones issued at higher rates. So, if rates have risen and you want to sell your bonds before they mature, you’d have to offer them at a discount.)

One way of coping with interest-rate movements is to build a “ladder” of bonds of varying maturities. When your short-term bonds mature, you can reinvest the proceeds in newly issued bonds that may offer higher rates, while your longer-term bonds continue to pay you greater income. (Generally – but not always – longer-term bonds carry higher interest rates than short-term bonds.)

Even within this type of bond ladder, though, you will want to diversify your holdings among different types of bonds from different issuers. In any case, be sure to evaluate whether a bond ladder and the securities held within it are consistent with your investment objectives, risk tolerance and financial circumstances.

Don’t ignore bonds when constructing and maintaining your investment portfolio. No matter what interest rates are doing, you’ll find that bonds can play an important role in your portfolio.
