It has been three years since the citizens of Estes Park approved a 1 percent additional sales tax for specific improvements in the Town. I want to report back to you how the additional sales tax is working in our community. For background, voters approved the 1 percent additional sales tax in Ballot Issue 1A during the April 2014 Municipal Election. The tax is in effect until 2024 and must be used for the following purposes: • 60 percent for the construction, repair, replacement, expansion, rehabilitation and renovation of existing streets within the Town of Estes Park. • 12.5 percent for the construction and expansion of public trails within the Estes Valley Planning Area. • 25 percent for the construction of a community recreation center, including facilities for the Estes Park senior center. • 2.5 percent for capital acquisitions associated with emergency response capabilities of the town, such as emergency public AM radio station and emergency operations.

Since its inception, the 1A sales tax has raised just over $6.7 million. This is for the period from July 2014, when it went into effect, through March 2017, since sales tax is received about 45 days after the end of the month. By the end of 2017, it will raise an estimated $9.1 million.

Streets (60 percent) Fixing roads is expensive and takes planning, equipment and labor. Although 10 years may seem like a long time, it's not very long to address all of our road needs. In 2017 we expect to spend approximately $2.28 million on Town streets. To most effectively use the sales tax revenue, we have developed project priorities and a schedule based on sound engineering principles and a knowledge of the condition of the pavement network. We have a dedicated Pavement Manager in the Public Works Department, and he coordinates all the work accomplished with 1A street funds. Learn more at www.estes.org/streetimprovements.

One of the most active programs of the 1A street funding is the spray patcher machine that allows us to very efficiently fill and repair potholes during most months of the year with just one opera-

tor. This year we have filled over 759 potholes. We completed 1,948 repairs in 2015 and another 1,516 in 2016. We can even arrange a ride along if you are interested. You can learn more about the patcher and see where we have been repairing potholes and doing other repairs at www.estes.org/potholepatching.

Major road improvements funded by the 1A street funds include Dry Gulch Road, with a new attached concrete trail on the west side of the road, and the bike trail extension under U. S. 34 connecting to the Lake Estes Trail. Currently we are working on major improvements to MacGregor Avenue north of Wonderview Avenue. These include repaving, an attached concrete trail, storm drainage improvements, and an enhanced pedestrian crossing at the Wonderview Avenue intersection. Other improvements include about 20 miles of roadway crack sealing, large asphalt patch repairs at 11 locations, chip seal resurfacing on 20 streets and new asphalt overlays on four streets.

New to the program this year is resurfacing of the Town parking lots. A new asphalt overlay of the Riverside lot was

completed in June.

Community Center (25 percent) Each month the Town transfers 1A funds to support the construction of the Estes Valley Community Center. So far $1.6 million have been used in the construction of the new Community Center that is under construction and slated for opening next winter. The Estes Valley Recreation and Park District is the leader of this project to build a great new amenity for our community.

Public multiuse trails (12.5 percent) As part of the Dry Gulch Road rehabilitation project, we built a new trail underpass at U. S. 34 that connects the

bike/pedestrian lanes along Dry Gulch Road with the Lake Estes Trail. This means bikes and pedestrians don’t have to cross U.S. 34 -- one of the busiest roadways in the valley. Also, paired with $300,000 in Larimer County Open Lands funds, we’re using $250,000 in 1A Trail Expansion funds for the construction of the MacGregor Avenue trail.

Emergency Response (2.5 percent) One of the very first things we did with 1A funds, in December 2014, was to launch our own information and emergency radio station -- Estes 1470 AM. Listen to the new station next time you get in the car, or check it out online through a link at www.estes.org.

With this new radio station we can quickly broadcast emergency information. When there’s no emergency, we include other public information updates about facilities, events and road closures, weather emergencies and traffic updates. Other investments we have made to improve emergency response include upgrading our mobile command truck with equipment to safely monitor and manage incidents from a long distance, purchases of hazardous material safety equipment for Town first responders, and the purchase of a HAM antenna system for the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) folks to be able to assist with emergency communications should traditional communication infrastructure be compromised.

These funds also are allowing us to provide hazardous material training to front line staff in the utilities, streets and parks departments.

We take the fiduciary responsibility of using your tax funds very seriously and we want to be completely transparent with how your investment in our community is being spent. So you can easily track the revenue, we set up separate funds for each purpose in the Town budget -- to separate it from all other operating funds of the Town. We also have a special page on our website at www.estes.org/ballotissue1a just for the 1 percent sales tax. We update this page to show you how much tax is coming in and how we have been using it in each of the four specific areas.

Estes Park Police Enforce Colorado’s Move Over Law The Estes Park Police Department would like to remind the public of Colorado’s Move Over Law, Colorado Revised Statute 42-4-705. The law requires motorists to move over at least one lane whenever they approach an emergency vehicle with its lights flashing. If a motorist is unable to move over, such as when on a two-lane road

and other road safety personnel across the state are seriously injured as a result of motorists not observing the law. Despite being enacted in all 50 states, a recent national survey indicated that 71 percent of Americans have not heard of Move Over laws. Eight months ago, after the tragic death of Colorado State Patrol Trooper Cody Donahue, five

or when heavy traffic is present, they are required to greatly reduce their speed. The law also protects road maintenance and tow truck operations.

The Move Over Law was implemented July 1, 2005 to help protect emergency response personnel. This includes law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency service responders, tow truck operators and state, county and local highway maintenance workers. Every year several first responders

south area metro law enforcement agencies set out to strengthen enforcement of the Move Over Law with “Operation One Charlie Three.” Estes Park Police Captain Eric Rose commented “We appreciate our motorists in Estes Park providing a lane of safety by moving over when they see an emergency vehicle with lights flashing on the roadway. We support Operation One Charlie Three for the safety of all first responders.”

The charge(s) are merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com JULY!!! Is there really a bigger month in our national history? Well, start with “The Fourth” and we could end with that date.

Our INDEPENDENCE day!!! Sure, in the course of a year we celebrate on many dates. But really, is there any holiDAY to match THE FOURTH? Could there possibly be? And it will be here early next week.

It may be appropriate then to devote a column to some of the men --- women will come some day --- who have led our nation, or at least served as its major spokesperson, to the rest of the world.

How many --- we identify them as our Presidents --- will we think of as we (hopefully) can pause and enjoy the day that we celebrate our independence?

Maybe, just to be different, today’s column will recall some of those leaders. Our Presidents! Or at least --- those BORN in July!

We have had four Presidents born in our seventh month. They could be treated here alphabetically, by day or year of birth, even by years of their presidency. The latter seems to make the most sense. By sheer coincidence the first of these was born in the seventh month of the year 1767, and somewhat decidedly later elected our seventh President. His name --- John Quincy Adams.

For thirty years prior to his presidency Adams had been in public service. Using the labels of that time he was a Republican, but that was before the Republican party we know. Indeed, by the 1820s that Republican party was dividing into factions, the result of which was that in the 1824 presidential election no candidate received a majority of the electoral votes.

(You do know that in our presidential elections the ONLY votes which really count are those cast in the Electoral College.) When Henry Clay, who finished fourth among the four candidates, turned his votes over to Adams, the latter was elected.

The short bald-headed Adams was anything but a politician. His accomplishments in the presidency, however, were notable even if, at the time, unpopular. He would thank Clay for the latter’s role in getting him the presidency by naming Clay Secretary of State, a decision which, however, was widely unpopular. At the same time he directed the building of roads and canals, promoted the establishment of educational institutions, sent out scientific expeditions, and began good relations with newly independent Latin

American governments.

By the time Adams ran for re-election in 1828 his Federalist party had lost its majority in Congress. In what has been called one of the dirtiest presidential contests in our history Adams received only 44 per cent of the popular vote. The fault, if such it can be called, rested not on Adams’ shoulders, but with the changing times. He was seen as representing the Federalists, the party of the past. That party had by the mid-1820s lost its majority in Congress. It was never to rise again.

The second of our July born Presidents did not appear until nearly a century later.

Adams was our seventh President; Calvin Coolidge would be our twenty-ninth. A small-town lawyer “Silent Cal” was born on THE FOURTH OF JULY. The year was 1872; the place Plymouth Vermont. He was vice-president when Warren Harding died in office, and to his credit he would be untouched by the scandals of the latter’s administration. In 1924 he was nominated to succeed himself.

It doesn’t need much space to sum up Coolidge. One might say he was the right man for the right time. Born in a farming town in New England, he worked his way through college. One historian calls him “a respectable mediocrity. ” Unpretentious and unimaginative he has been known as “Silent Cal. ” The presidential administration of Warren Harding is remembered for its corruption. It is without exaggeration to say that when Harding died in office the country breathed a sigh of relief. Coolidge did not go after the malefactors who profited under Harding, but he did put an end to their activities.

If Coolidge was born on OUR holiday, the fourth of July, we could note that Gerald R. Ford, who would become our thirty-seventh chief executive, was born on a French equivalent of that date, specifically July fourteenth. The year was 1913.

Finally we come to George W. Bush, our forty-second President. He was born on July 6,1946, missing the 4th by just two days. Hmmm, Yours Truly believes he is still alive. No need then to comment about him. With all the Bushes running around the country George W. can no doubt take care of himself. He is still alive, isn’t he? If not, please bring me up to date. Thanks in advance.

Thrift Shop Supports Glen Haven Area Volunteer Fire Dept. July 4th The Estes Park Community Thrift Shop will donate the proceeds of a July 4th bag sale to benefit the Glen Haven Area Volunteer Fire Department. Stop by at 429 West Elkhorn to check out the shopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great bargains. You might find the perfect Independence Day t-shirt or picnic supplies. The popular $5 bag sale, where shoppers may fill a shopping bag for $5, will be happening from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The bag is provided by the Thrift Store.

GHAVFDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary responsibility is protecting over 25,000 acres of mostly forested land with approximately 500 structures. The Department also responds to calls from the Estes Valley Fire Protection District and the Colorado and U.S. Forest Services, and many other area agencies. The community of Glen Haven is not a municipality, and therefore not in a taxing district. Donations, grants, and fund raisers are the sources of income for the Department. Raising the money to equip 20 volunteers with the proper gear, and to purchase and maintain enough modern vehicles to be ready for any situ-

ation, is a challenge.

The GHAVFD sincerely appreciates the support of the Community Thrift Shop.

In 2017 they have generously donated over $5000 to area non-profits. For more information on the Thrift Shop check out

Read our Virtual E-Edition at www.epnews.com Last week in this column you read a list of favorite sounds collected by the staff of a national magazine, the Utne Reader. (Its motto: “Not right, not left, but forward thinking.” I like it.) The list of sounds included the sigh of a coffee maker at the end of its brew cycle, the grunts and snorts made by a dog as he settles on the sofa for a nap, and one of my own: the melodic chink of wet pebbles under my boots as I hike.

It was no surprise when I heard from several readers who wanted to share their own favorite sounds.

“One of my all time favorite sounds is church bells. But not the tinny artificial ones that play ’70s tunes in perfect pitch, but real ones.” (Rhonda in PA). [I agree. I love the big copper bells swinging in a full arc. They are so heavy they can only play slowly and they ring so loud you can almost feel their vibration. I imagine the monk in his robe and hood, a rope around his waist, using his entire bodyweight to pull on the thick ropes that tilt the bells. ] “I like the music of a calliope as you watch your children on a merry-go-round. ” (Cindy in SD). [I’ll add to that: It is a joy to hear the breathy tinkling tunes of the old circus instrument as children ride their selected horse, waving each time they circle around past you. The animals are frozen in mid-gallop, painted and gilded in magical colors, their necks arched, knees high, their tails full and curled. Did you know that “KAHL-eeohp” is the preferred pronunciation of this word? That’s a fun sound too. But “kah-LYoh-pee” is also acceptable. ] Ken in CO said, “My favorite sound when hiking? When there is fresh snow and it is below zero, the squeak of my footsteps on the new fallen snow. (I fully realize that this would not be among your favorite experiences!) ” [You’re right, Ken. I don’t mind the sound of snow but I do dislike the cold and wind that often accompanies it. ] Nancy in KS brought to mind a “same but different” sound: “One of my favorites is the squeak basketball shoes make on the gym floor during a game. And I've always loved listening to kids play outside in the evening. ” [Summertime, and the livin’ is easy…]

Eleanor—a friend on Facebook, reminded me of this memory: “When we were in kindergarten our principal taught the entire

school to applaud by using only the first two fingers of each hand. It sounded like steady rain. I don’t remember her name but she was a great principal. ” [Yes! The sound of a room full of young people in a gymnasium, making hardly any noise except the imitation of steady rain, brings back fond memories of Jefferson Grade School in Wheaton, IL] Joe in KS said, “A lack of sound I love is when the conductor takes the baton in hand, facing the orchestra. He waits for 1600 people to get quiet before he starts.

Then they do. Beauty fills my ears and my heart. I love the sound of silence before a concert begins. ” [I know well that silent moment suspended in time. We hold our breath in anticipation of that first downbeat and the orchestral journey we are about to take. There’s nothing quite like it.]

Joe added, “I love the sound of my granddaughters laughing. ” [Anyone with grandchildren can relate to this one. ] The other sound I love to hear is the glide of my new, fancy ink pen, purchased at the Inkwell and Brew, which I use only to sign books. I’ll get to hear that sound again on July 4, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., when I will be signing Slices of Life, Estes Park; Best of The Thunker Columns at Macdonald Bookshop. Stop in with your visiting family and friends as part of the happy crowd on the sidewalks of our vibrant downtown. The book makes a great souvenir and a fun gift—to give to others or as a treat for yourself. Macdonald Bookshop: 152 E. Elkhorn Ave. The bookshop is open until 9:30 p.m.

(9:00 p.m. on Sundays). If you can’t make it during the day, drop by that evening, (they’ll have some already-signed books on hand) before you make your way to your favorite spot for the annual Independence Day show. You’ll tilt your face to the night sky and be thrilled by the flash and sparkle of fireworks—their massive booms echoing off the mountain walls like nowhere else— another favorite sound!

Cousin Estes: A Musical Docudrama On July 22 On Saturday, July 22 at 7 p.m. in the Estes Park High School Auditorium, Joel Estes will introduce you to the Estes family members as they contribute in the building of the nation in this American experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cousin Estesâ&#x20AC;? is a musical docudrama that explores the roots and historic contribution of the Estes family from Italy and Scotland through 1875, and then beyond the grave by the ghost of Joel Estes performed by his cousin Michael Estes Dixon. Joel will introduce you to the Marquis Niccolo III dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;este in Italy; Thomas Dixon in Scotland; Abraham Estes, the first Estes to come to America; Joelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grandfather and namesake Joel, who fought in the revolutionary war; Peter Estes, who followed Daniel Boone over â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wilderness Trail;â&#x20AC;? and Joelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting life with his family as they discover gold in the California Gold Rush of 1849, and settle in what would become Estes Park, Colorado.

Michael Estes Dixon is currently performing in the rock group â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trip Wire.â&#x20AC;? In addition to performing in rock and bluegrass bands, he has also pursued a theater career in productions such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fiddler on

the Roof â&#x20AC;? and he wrote and performed the music for the production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Astral Plane.â&#x20AC;? He is a versatile musician that plays guitar, banjo, bass, fiddle, mandolin, dobro, lap steel, keyboards, harmonica, flute, saxophone, drums, and other percussion instruments.

For 20 years, Dixon researched his Estes genealogy. Every time he found an interesting character, he wrote a song. This inspired Dixon to execute a three-phase plan: create a new album about Estes Family members, make videos of all of the songs, and ultimately write a play to present the Estes family history.

The album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cousin Estesâ&#x20AC;? was released in October 2015. Dixon plays all the instruments and sings all the vocals.

The play of the same title will debut in Estes Park on Saturday, July 22.

Tickets go on sale at the Museum beginning June 30. The cost to attend is $15 for Museum members and $18 for nonmembers in advance, or $20 the night of the production. The performance is a Centennial event highlighting the history of Estes Park. The play is appropriate for all ages. To access videos by Dixon, visit https://youtu.be/vFaxAu0lZro.

Paving The Way To The Future Estes Park Museum Collections & Research Facility The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc. is raising $1M to build a new Museum Collection & Research Facility (located on the current property, 200 Fourth Street). The building will house more than 30,000 locally historic artifacts with room for the general public and staff to examine and study the archives and artifacts. One avenue to fundraise for this important community resource is through the sale of paver stones etched with text and art. The eight by eight inch pavers can be designed by individuals, families, groups, organizations, and business owners with a lasting quote or memory.

Congratulations and thank you to Tim and Wendy Haight who purchased a paver stone and are actively supporting

the Estes Park Museum Friends build the much-needed Collections & Research Facility. The Haightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brick honors history and lifelong learning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our paver stone reads: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Preserving the past, embracing the future.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; That summarizes exactly why we support the Estes Park Museum.â&#x20AC;?

If you are interested in supporting this special project, please visit the following website to review the facility plans and download a paver order form: www.estesparkmuseumfriends.org/collectionsand-research-building.

Or visit the Museum at 200 Fourth Street. Please call or email Museum Director Derek Fortini for more information at 970-577-3761 or dfortini@estes.org.

Owl Always Love You The Quota Club of Estes Park is pleased to announce the new Celebrate Estes Park card. This year's card depicts two Great Horned owls sitting on a split rail fence in front of the iconic Twin Owls rock formation. This card is the second in a series featuring an original painting by local artist Gary Hazelton, who has generously donated his talented work to this project. The series of cards represents various scenes in and around Estes Park.

In a play on words, this year's card is titled "Owl Always Love You." The idea for the painting was suggested to Gary by his mother-in-law before she passed away last year.

The cards are available at a variety of merchants including Colorado Homestead, Hallmark Peak Card Shop, Wynbrier Home, Chrysalis At the Stanley Hotel, Ala Carte, Inkwell and Brew, Bear Necessities, Mac Gregor Ranch, and The Village Store.

This is a fundraising activity of the Quota Club. The proceeds benefit many projects of the club

including serving youth, seniors, speech and hearing, education the Loan Closet and medical needs within the Estes Park community. For many years the Quota Club has been involved in helping raise funds for ambulances, here in Estes Park.

This spring Quota provided funds for the nineteenth time for the purchase of a new ambulance. All funds raised are disbursed with the guiding motto of the Quota Club: We Share.

Multiple Incidents Last Weekend Including Highline Rescue In RMNP Saturday, June 24, was a busy day for Rocky Mountain National Park’s Search and Rescue Team members.

One of the incidents was resolved when an 18-yearold male was rescued via a highline operation across the Roaring River above the Alluvial Fan. On Saturday afternoon, the 18year-old from Kansas had been rock hopping on this section of the Roaring River when he became stuck on the west side of the river.

Park rangers were notified at 2:30 p.m. The young man’s family members were on the east side of the river. Rangers assessed the situation with members of Estes Valley Fire Protection District – Dive and Swiftwater Rescue Team, and after considering the complexity and length of time the rescue would likely take, it was determined that it would be safest to conduct the rescue Sunday morning.

Rangers provided the man with warm clothes, a sleeping bag and food overnight. A ranger stayed overnight on the other side of the river from the young man.

At 5:30 a.m. Sunday morning rescuers gathered and at 7 a.m. the highline operation began. The young man was rescued at approximately 10:20 a.m. Over 20 people were involved in the operation and Rocky Mountain National Park’s Search and Rescue team greatly appreciates the assistance from

Estes Valley Fire Protection District – Dive and Swiftwater Rescue Team.

Other incidents Saturday included a 15year-old female falling in the St. Vrain River in the Wild Basin area. She tumbled downstream approximately 50 yards over an eight foot waterfall and through significant rapids. Bystanders and family members were able to rescue the girl prior to rangers arriving. She received leg injuries and was carried out via a wheeled litter to the Wild Basin Trailhead where she was taken by ambulance to the Estes Park Medical Center. Those who helped rescue the girl are to be commended for doing so from the shore line of the river, rather than getting in the swift moving water themselves.

Park rangers also assisted an injured 24year-old male boulderer in the Chaos Canyon area who injured his leg after a fall, a 27-year-old female hiker on the Gem Lake Trail with a knee injury and a 26-year-old male hiker who had a seizure after taking a small fall at Emerald Lake.

At 2:30 p.m. park rangers were notified of the incident above Alluvial Fan.

The Big Bang Concert On The Fourth!

Celebrating the Fourth of July is tops on everyone’s list. Estes Park has always been a very popular destination for many families wanting to see one of the most spectacular fireworks displays in Colorado. There is so much to do in this beautiful mountain town. This year, as the skies get dark and people wait for the fireworks over Lake Estes, there is the perfect entertainment opportunity.

Two fabulous stage concerts in the fairgrounds grandstands.

At 5:30 p.m., Chain Station will play smokin’ bluegrass, mountain music and Americana. Chain Station is a fourpiece, high-energy, get ‘em out on the dance floor, string band from Denver, Colorado. Their music is well-steeped in Americana roots, with vocal harmonies that are high, lonesome, and tight. Their picking ranges from lightning-fast to mountain mellow. They are a bluegrass band that would satisfy a picky old-timer and delight fans of newgrass, a delicate balance indeed.

The up next is, The Long Run Run. The Long Run is a group of professional Colorado-based musicians dedicated to the faithful reproduction of the music of America's most iconic band, the Eagles.

Their touring performances are billed as Colorado's Tribute to the Eagles. Sit back and enjoy hits like, “Hotel California,” “Take It Easy,” and “New Kid In Town” just to name a few.

Tickets will be on sale at the gate starting at 3:30 p.m. Adults are $11 and kids under 12 are free. A food truck and concession stand food will be available for purchase, along with ice cream and fresh squeezed lemonade. Local craft beer from Lumpy Ridge and Rock Cut will be available to purchase as well. There is plenty of free parking. After the concerts, at about 9:30 p.m., hang tight in your grandstand seats and grab a blanket to enjoy one of the best locations to watch the fireworks display.

For more information call 303-9567153.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better way to become excited about the Red, White & Blue, not to mention the Fourth of July, than by listening to patriotic music. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just what you can do at 2 o â&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock this Sunday, July 2nd at the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies, 1700 Brodie Ave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Patriotic Saluteâ&#x20AC;? is a benefit concert organized by local resident Bob Gunn and sponsored by the Estes Park Veterans Monument Committee.

There is no admission fee, however, free-will donations will be gratefully accepted.

The idea for the concert was set in motion a couple of months ago during a conversation between Gunn and Gary Brown, chairman of the Monument Committee. Both served in the armed forces; Gunn is a Navy veteran, while Brown served in the Army. All proceeds will be used to fund construction of the monument which will be in a park-like setting along the river west of the Estes Park Visitor Center.

“Wilderness & Whisky” At Elkins Whisky Discusses Wolf Reintroduction

By: Kirby Hazelton Nearly 100 people gathered at Elkins Whisky on Monday, June 19 to hear the latest “Wilderness & Whisky” presentation. This event focused on recommendations for a successful and sustainable reintroduction of wolves, with a case study on the Mexican Gray Wolf in southern New Mexico. Michael Robinson of the Center for Biological Diversity as well as Hailey Hawkins from the Endangered Species coalition shared their knowledge of wolves’ history in the United States – including why their existence was all but eliminated, what wolves can contribute to area ecosystems, how to lobby different powers-at-be for proper reintroduction and management, and more. Attendees

enjoyed artfully crafted cocktails (the author of this article highly recommends the Whisky Paloma) while learning all about wolves (and the potential for wolves in Colorado!).

Robinson told the heartbreaking story of how wolves were lost in our area. The story dates back to 1915, when the federal government as well as the state of Colorado issued federal and state money for the hunting and killing of wolves. Because the perception was that wolves were preying on livestock, they needed to be removed in order to protect an economic resource. In reality, because there were no game limitations for hunters, the wolves’ prey source was diminishing and they were forced to find food elsewhere. This

became true for animals other than wolves, including mountain lions and other preying species. In 1945, the last wolf was killed in the San Juan Mountains.

Nearly twenty years later, in 1963, President Nixon signed the Endangered Species Act. This act helps to protect animals by requiring conservation of the ecosystems on which endangered species depend.

Wolves became protected under this act and in 1995, thirty wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. In just a few short years, their numbers grew to several hundred; as of three years ago, the count was 1,800. Robinson explained how the rest of the Yellowstone ecosystem was impacted during this reintroduction: elk behavior changed with this ‘new’ predator, which protected vegetation and allowed for flora and fauna to return, including aspen trees that beavers could use to build dams. The areas above the dams filled in, giving new space and homes to fish and frogs, and creating fertile, grassy meadows – which in turn helped the elk!

Leftover carcasses from the wolves became food sources for various birds, and pronghorn numbers began to increase because wolves were helping to keep the coyote population in check. You can see the overall picture – reintroducing this natural predator helped bring this wild area back to balance.

Robinson then shared his specific experience with the Mexican Gray Wolf reintroduction in New Mexico. This species of wolf was nearly exterminated except for seven animals (total, in the world). They bred these wolves in captivity (250 remain in captivity now, for breeding management purposes) and in 1998, the wolves were reintroduced into the wild. The legislation at that time gave more latitude for killing wolves – specifically, if they were engaging with livestock – and the thought was that even with these additional hunting freedoms, reintroduction would still go as well as Yellowstone. Robinson said that there were a few factors that hampered the success of the Mexican Gray Wolf, one of which was that the wolves were kept confined to a specific area. In his words, we should “let them be wolves” and while remaining aware of implications of roaming wolves, to not draw imaginary lines that allow for hunting of wolves if they explore beyond those borders. Robinson also shared that 95% of the time, wolves feed on elk or other wild prey and that they will usually only scavenge on already-dead cows. In his experience, their impact on the livestock industry is more minimal than believed. Currently, there are 113 Mexican Gray Wolves in the wild, with only 10 breeding pairs (18 being the ultimate goal).

When asked about wolf introduction in Colorado, Robinson mentioned that Rocky Mountain National Park is not the best place for wolves. The elevation is too high and the winters are a bit harsher. Instead, wolves would have a better opportunity to flourish in the southwest, near the San Juan Mountains and in the GunnisonGrand Mesa area. That space is better for prey density and more survivable seasons.

He cautioned that potential livestock conflicts are probable, but said they are manageable if addressed proactively. Hawkins then added that Yellowstone has seen an

addition of $35 million in recreational revenue since the wolves have been reintroduced (understanding that additional factors may have influenced that increase), so the economic impact potential is there as well.

Hawkins went on to share ways that the audience (and others) could get involved.

The Endangered Species Coalition participates with over 400 organizations and focuses on getting the public to civically engage when it comes to wilderness and wildlife legislation. She recommended that people steer clear of petitioning via social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and instead spend time on more-impactful personalized letters and phone calls. Specifically, Hawkins detailed the currently-proposed S. 733, the Sportmen’s Act, which will be coming to a vote for our Senators soon. The act contains a rider that would automatically delist (from the Endangered Species Act) wolves in the Great Lakes Region, threatening wolf recovery nationwide. Hawkins provided the contact information for Senators Michael Bennet and Cory Gardner and encouraged the group to get involved.

Michael Robinson, Conservation Advocate, focuses on the protection and recovery of top predators like Mexican gray wolves and jaguars. He has been associated with the Center since its founding and joined the staff in 1997. Michael holds a Master’s degree in literature from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a bachelor’s from the University of Texas at Austin; he is also the author of a well-reviewed book on the history of wolves in the United States called Predatory Bureaucracy: The Extermination of Wolves and the Transformation of the West (University Press of Colorado, 2005).

As the Southern Rockies Field Representative for the Endangered Species Coalition, Hailey organizes ESC’s campaign efforts in Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. Previously, Hailey worked with a Colorado-based community group, Boulder Rights of Nature, as the strategic research lead, in which she emphasized Boulder County’s threatened and endangered mammals. She now actively serves on their Board of Trustees. While getting her M.A. in Environmental Leadership at Naropa University in Boulder, CO, Hailey nurtured her passion for conservation by exploring the dynamic interconnectedness of all life (human and non-human) and the impact of development on wildlife species. Hailey began her environmental career working with the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy and the Southern Energy Network harnessing grassroots support for renewable energy in the Southeast. She has a B.A. in Communication with a minor in Environmental Science from Mississippi State University.

Valleywide Ordinances Require Wildlife-Friendly Trash, Grease Management Practices After a lengthy public process, the Board of Larimer County Commissioners recently adopted a Wildlife Protection Ordinance for the Estes Valley Planning Area that requires wildlife-friendly trash management practices. The ordinance complements the Town of Estes Park's existing Wildlife Protection Ordinance, paving the way for a more wildlife-friendly environment in the Estes Valley. Larimer County will begin enforcing its new ordinance Sept. 1, 2017. Residents are encouraged to help protect wildlife by complying with the ordinances. Ordinance details are available atwww.estes.org/wildlifeprotectionordinance and www.larimer.org/wildlife (including a map of the applicable areas).

Recent updates to the Town's 2015 Wildlife Protection Ordinance clarify the definitions of wildlife-resistant enclosures and attractants, as well as adding requirements to make grease bins inaccessible to wildlife. These details are mirrored by Larimer County's ordinance. The Town's ordinance also requires that bird feeders are suspended on a cable or other device at a height above the ground or structure so it is inaccessible to bears April through November of each year.

Grease bins must also be wildlife-resistant or contained within a wildlife-resistant enclosure. The Town's ordinance specifically states, "Grease bin means a fully enclosed container designed to store used food service grease and oil.

Shall be of design and sufficient strength to prevent opening by wildlife. All grease bins shall be designed and constructed with sufficient supports to prevent tipping of the grease bin by animals. Food service establishments shall deposit all oil and grease from their operations within grease bins, and the grease bins shall be located within wildlife resistant

Love, Your Family

containers or wildlife resistant enclosures."

The ordinances set specific standards for storage of refuse located outside an enclosed structure (such as a residential or commercial building, shed or garage).

Refuse is defined as any waste that could reasonably attract wildlife including, but not limited to, kitchen organic waste, food, food packaging, toothpaste, deodorant, cosmetics, spices, seasonings, oil and grease. Requirements for refuse containment do not apply to glass, paper, cardboard, metal, plastic, aluminum, textiles, electronics, nonedible yard maintenance waste, construction materials and household items when not commingled with food waste attractants.

Residential refuse should be stored in a typical hard-sided trash container with secured lid and placed outside on pickup day only between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Trash service bags must be inside a hard-sided container. Residents who leave refuse outside before 6 a.m. or after 7 p.m. on pickup day must use a wildliferesistant container or enclosure.

Businesses (including vacation rental homes and special events) must store refuse in a wildlife-resistant container or wildlife-resistant enclosure at all times.

Wildlife-resistant dumpsters are readily available locally, and in many cases there is no cost to upgrade. Oil and grease must be stored in a wildlife-resistant container. Nonwildlife-resistant trash containers 95 gallons or less are allowed if emptied by 10 p.m. daily or contracted for pickup service overnight.

For more information on Estes Valley ordinance, visit www.larimer.org/wildlife or call Larimer County Code Compliance at 970-498-7700. For more information on the Town of Estes Park ordinance, please visit www.estes.org/wildlifeprotectionordinance or call 970-586-4000

Anyone For A Game Of Pickleball?

Every day except Sunday from 8 to 10 a.m. during the summer, pickleball players gather at Stanley Park to play pick-up games of this sour-sounding but fast-paced sport. On June 22, 2017, players included a family that gets together every summer in Estes Park, and playing pickleball has become a favorite pastime to get outdoors for some fun. The cousins are from Wichita and Scottsdale and come to visit their grandparents here in Estes Park. Other players, such as Randy from Estes Park, are regulars who play as frequently as possible.

A variety of fun activities are planned for residents of all ages and abilitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;including wildlife walking tours around Lake Estes, Ice Cream Day, Throwback Thursday activities with bocce ball and croquet, and Facebook photo contests.

EVRPD is celebrating Park and Recreation Month, an initiative of the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), and all the ways parks and recreation has the power to transform our daily lives. From providing us places to play, get fit and stay healthy to fostering new relationships and forging a connection with nature, our close-to-home community park and recreation facilities provide essential services and improve the quality of life for residents and visitors of Estes Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Estes Park is a mecca for recreation any time of the year,â&#x20AC;? said Tom Carosello, Executive Director for Estes Valley Recreation and Park District. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But summertime is especially busy in Estes Park. We

are thrilled that we can provide such a variety of recreation opportunities while having a positive impact on the community.â&#x20AC;?

EVRPD will celebrate Park and Recreation Month with activities throughout the month on the mild side of recreation.

In addition to the activities we will coordinate, EVRPD has a complete list of ideas for daily outdoor recreation on our website, including a kayak ride on Lake Estes, a bike ride along the Lake Estes Trail, a hike on Homer Rouse Trail, and a round of golf at the Lake Estes 9-Hole Golf Course.

One of the ways EVRPD is celebrating the month is by hosting a weekly photo contest encouraging people to show how they play around Estes Park. One grand prize winner will receive an 20-punch pass to the new Estes Valley Community Center and their winning photo will hang in the Estes Valley Community Center during the first year of operation.

The Baldpate Inn Presents 2017 Summer Enchanted Evenings On Wednesday, July 5th, 2017, at 7 p.m., The Baldpate Inn is pleased to welcome back Bruce Davies to their Summer Enchanted Evenings. Bruce will be speaking about Estes Park history. This history of Estes Park will include people such as Lord Dunraven, Joel Estes, and Isabella Bird. Bruce will also tie in some of the famous keys of the Baldpate Inn that relate to Estes park.

As a licensed guide for the RMNP, Bruce is the current owner and operator of Tour Estes Park. Bruce was born in Berthoud, Colorado, and his pull toward the wilderness began at a young age, as his father was a school teacher who loved to explore outdoors. When he was a teenager, Bruce was inspired by the writings of Enos Mills and his love of the wilderness grew. He attended college at

Grand Canyon University and lived in Orlando, Florida, for a time before moving back to Colorado. He specializes in history and wildlife, having developed a particular interest in the history of Estes Park while working for a year at the Stanley Hotel.

The Summer Enchanted Evenings at the Baldpate Inn, on Highway 7, are held every Wednesday throughout the summer beginning at 7 p.m. There is no charge, and refreshments are provided in the Key Room. The Baldpate Inn would love for you to be able to join them for the talk.

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 present 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flying Fingersâ&#x20AC;? Wilseck. Attendees who arrive early get to listen to old time piano music before the films begin as well as Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s melodies that provide an excellent background for the action on the screen.

Scott says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;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 pi-

ano playing in the theatre. The music was mostly ragtime and really took you back to that era. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always loved playing ragtime and the silent films provide an excellent venue for that type of music. â&#x20AC;?

The first Friday, July 7, will feature Buster Keaton in three films; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Out West,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Boatâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;One Week.â&#x20AC;?

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.

Monday Artisans Market July 3rd Featured Artisan, Jerry Patterson American small studio movement which began in the early 70s. This was the way he was taught and remains the root of his style of work. He is currently exploring the possibilities that arise when another set of hands, or an assistant, are available to aid in the glass forming process. His current work is a combination of solo and asThis weeks Monday Artisan Market's featured artisan is Jerry Patterson. Jerry, a local Estes Park artist, creates beautiful, one of a kind art glass.

Jerry moved to Colorado in 1995. After living for a short time in Loveland, Jerry began moving up the mountain, first to the foothills west of Loveland, then Drake, next he found himself in a small apartment next door to the Glassworks Studio and Gallery in Estes Park starting his journey and education as a glass artisan.

Jerry was completely blown away (no pun intended) by the process of glassblowing and began to make himself available any time he could to help in the studio. Jerry has been practicing glassblowing at Glassworks, now Patterson Glassworks, for nearly twenty years. His work is currently represented by nearly thirty fine art galleries around the country. He lives at his home in Allenspark, Co and works in his studio in Estes where the public is welcome to stop by and watch the age old process of glassblowing!

Jerry creates each of his glass art pieces in his private studio located in Estes Park, Colorado. He blows contemporary glass using traditional tools combined with both traditional and non-traditional techniques.

His artwork is performed solo in the tradition of the forefathers of the early

sisted work.

The glass blowing process begins by gathering molten glass from a furnace onto a brow pipe. The temperature of the glass exceeds 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit at this point. Color is then applied in myriad fashions. When the amount of glass is set and colors have been manipulated to his satisfaction a bubble is then blown into the glass. This bubble is then coaxed into the desired form by using a variety of tools. Much of Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work involves two or more bubbles that are fused together in a process known as incalmo.

The finished piece is then placed into an annealing oven, where it cools slowly at a controlled rate.

Ideas for Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work originate in his imagination and are heavily influenced by the countless hours he spends immersed in nature. He lives and spends his time in the mountains where light, water, wind-sculpted snow, vegetation and abundant wild-life evoke emotion and feeling. This organic feel then crystallized in the ever-evolving work that he creates.

Come see Gerry's work at the Monday Artisans Market at Riverside Plaza or find him other days year round at Glass Works Gallery and Studio, 323 West Elkhorn, Estes Park where you can watch him during the creation of his blown glass.

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.

The Estes Park Lumber Company Is A Valuable Community Asset To The Editor: Last Friday I walked into the lumber business with an aluminum sign describing a fundraising project for the Estes Park Museum Friends. I needed a wooden post and some outdoor hardware to install it on the river walk outside Fall River Antiques beside a wishing well. The fellow who helped me disappeared for a few minutes and came out with the post and completed the installa-

tion. I reached into my purse to pay, and he smiled and said the lumber company would do it at no charge. I was surprised and thanked him for his generosity, and I want to recommend this business to everyone in the community.

Sincerely, Bobbie Heisterkamp Estes Park Museum Friends Board member

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 6, weather permitting. Work is anticipated to take two to three days to complete. 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 Big Horn Drive, David Drive, Deer Path Court, Dekker Circle, Driftwood Avenue, Elk Trail, Elm Avenue, Fall River Court, Fall River Drive and Fall River Lane. If funding allows, additional work may be performed.

Project updates and a tentative detailed schedule, when available, will be provided at www.estes.org/streetimprove-

ments.

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 there may be temporary closures to private driveways.

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 (2012 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.

Estes Park Music Festival Summer Season Preview By: Derald DeYoung

The summer 2017 Estes Park Music Festival concerts featuring the Colorado Music Festival Chamber Orchestra from Boulder will begin on Monday July 17 at 7:30 p.m. at the Stanley Concert Hall. There will be two concerts this summer by this outstanding orchestra: Mondays July 17 and 31. Both will be conducted by Jean-Marie Zeitouni.

While there are only two concerts this summer there will be a wide variety of music presented. There are no less than 10 composers represented on these two concerts. Every one of these composers were born in the late 19th or early 20th centuries The first concert on July 17 features music by two prominent composers from England: Ralph Vaughan-Williams and Benjamin Britten. Also every piece on this program is written for string orchestra or strings with piano.

Vaughan-Williams famous Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis for string orchestra will begin the concert. Britten’s arresting fanfare for piano and strings, written early in his career is a real stunning piece. The engaging Concerto No 1 for Piano, trumpet and strings by the 20th century Russian composer

Kirk Fisher

Shostakovich will be the centerpiece of this concert. The program will conclude with Richard Strauss’ Metamorphosen for 23 Strings.

The second concert on July 31 will feature American music of the early to mid 20th century and contain pieces by America’s most beloved composers: Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, George Gershwin and Scott Joplin. Also two composers from Germany and France respectively are featured who spent a large part of their careers in the US: Kurt Weill and Darius Milhaud.

This program will feature music directly influenced by jazz and poplar music of this period. All the pieces from Joplin’s Rags to Bernstein’s “Prelude, Fugue and Riffs” to Weill’s “Suite from the Three Penny Opera” to Milhaud’s “Creation of the World” are jazzy, toe tapping and appealing pieces that will be a great pleasure to experience.

10th Annual Weed Roundup!

The 10th annual Estes Park Weed Roundup will be held Saturday, July 22 from 9:00 a. m. to noon located north of the Waste Management transfer station (across from Smokin’ Dave’s BBQ) at 666 Elm Road. From Hwy. 34 & 36 intersection, take Moraine Ave./Hwy. 36 for 1.2 miles toward Rocky Mountain National Park. Turn right on Elm Road and follow the signs.

Are you interested in learning about weeds in the Estes Valley and wanting to dispose of your noxious weeds for free?

The Estes Park Weed Roundup is the place to do all of this and more!

You can get your unknown weedy plants identified, learn how to get rid of those pesky weeds on your property, and pick up other educational materials about invasive plants. Estes Park Master Gardeners, Larimer County, and RMNP experts on noxious weeds will be available to answer questions, and identify weeds and native plants.

Bring in your weeds – no slash, pine needles, trash – in paper yard bags for free disposal. Participants will receive a free 30 gallon paper lawn bag for future weed collection. The Estes Land Stewardship Association (ELSA) will also be hosting a monitored weed drop-off on August 26 and September 23 from 9:00 a.m. to noon at 666 Elm Road. Due to abuse and misuse, the unmonitored weed drop-off offered by the Town of Estes Park during the last two years has been discontinued due to misuse by dumping trash and other materials. Paper bagged noxious weeds will only be accepted during monitored events. Unauthorized drop-offs at this location are considered theft of services. Weeds and trash can be disposed of year-round at Waste Management for a fee. No bags of non-weed materials will be accepted at these events.

Paper lawn bags are available for purchase at local hardware stores.

Estes Park Yoga-Ageless Practice By: Alex Parmelee

We practice yoga like some people practice piano.

And we say practice because it happens that way. Maybe from the outside it looks complicated, but it can be easy, comfortable and fun. People start playing piano at any age, from 2 to 82, so

what about you starting yoga today?

Whether by courage or curiosity, the potential is cumulative and limitless.

Modern yoga aims to improve strength, flexibility, balance, focus, and concentration - useful at any age. Young children enjoy a playful practice while older adults relearn the pleasure of being in youthful ways. Through practice we can reform new habits of moving that affect our joints, muscles, heart, brain, and spine. The body you have today is the result of what you have done or what you have not done in your life. But, through intention and purpose, we can create supporting, healthy bodies. Yoga is a time-honored method for creating physical and mental health at any age.

How balanced do you feel? Tree is just one of the postures taught in yoga. What appears as someone just balancing on one leg is additionally an elegant hip and shoulder stretch. Tree also helps to focus the mind. Practicing yoga, movements combined with attentive breathing, and awareness, gives multiple levels of benefit for your physical body as well as for your heart and mind. Following the analogy of playing a musical instrument,

a few years ago I started playing cello so that I would have something beautiful to do when I got older. But I have now found that I just enjoy playing and am determined to keep learning new skills just for the sake of learning and growing.

Yoga is like that. It is common for people to practice yoga into their 80s and 90s to not only benefit themselves but also to inspire the people that they love and that they care about.

Estes Park Yoga (www.estesparkyoga.com) is open for all ages, every day. We are growing a community of lovely and accepting persons.

Someone once said that the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, or today.

Starting yoga is like that too. Come practice yoga and grow with us!

Plant a seed at the Essential Oil Infused Yoga Workshop. Come learn about restorative Yoga, nidra (guided relaxation), and essential oils for an ultimate state of grounding, alignment, and openheartedness. You will learn helpful tools for managing stress and honoring your body and emotions. Saturday, July 1st from 2-4 p.m. Pre-register at estesparkyoga@gmail.com.

Square dancing has returned to Allenspark, and everyone is welcome! “On Saturday evening, we’ll host our second square dancing event of the summer at The Old Gallery in Allenspark, ” said Elisabeth Sherwin, Executive Director for The Old Gallery in Allenspark. The event begins at 7 p.m. and another square dance will take place September 3 at 7 p.m., as well.

All are welcome! ” Chris Kermiet is the square dance caller and local band Sage Grouse will provide live square dancing music.

Sage Grouse consists of Dave Brown on fiddle, Pat Carbone on banjo and Ellen Rosenberg on guitar. The event is free, but donations for the band and caller are welcomed.

Youth In Action: Building A Better World By: Laurie Dale Marshall, Estes Valley Library Adult & Teen Services Librarian

Kids will be kids. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all heard this and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true. They have a lot to say and their voices are unique. What we might have overlooked until now is the meaningful contribution of youth in our community, nation, and world when we empower kids to bring forth their ideas.

Youth in Action (YIA), a collaborative program of the Estes Valley Library and Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center (EPNRC), engages local youth to not only voice their ideas, but take action.

Youth in Action strives to foster a lifelong engagement in civic and philanthropic service by providing training and experiences for youth leadership within the community. In its inaugural year, Youth in Action brought together local youth ages 14-18 from all learning environments to gain knowledge of the nonprofit sector, functions of nonprofit and civic boards of directors, and philanthropic endeavors.

Then the youth took action.

YIA kicked off as the Mayor proclaimed January 20, 2017 as Estes Park Youth Day of Community Service and Learning at an inspiring breakfast meeting attended by youth and participating nonprofits.

This day saw over 75 youth engaged in service projects throughout the community. Eagle Rock School and Estes Park High School students came together to learn and serve.

Next, YIA participants attended training to prepare them for service to a local nonprofit board of directors. Local organizations readily accepted the opportunity to have a youth perspective and six youth were matched to serve as advisors to nonprofit boards. The youth voice was strong as their viewpoints brought new light to decision-making and how those decisions impact local youth.

Throughout the year, youth learned about nonprofit funding in preparation for developing their own Community Grant process. Youth in Action students developed the criteria, application requirements, review process, and determination of recipients for the $2500 they

had to give. Youth determined that projects must benefit local youth and provide opportunities for youth to be involved in the planning and implementation of the project. After an initial review, youth heard live presentations from finalists in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shark Tankâ&#x20AC;? style event. Finally, as part of the scholarship ceremony, Youth in Action representatives turned the tables by awarding three local nonprofits funds to implement their projects. Mission: New Earth, League of Women Voters: Recycling Committee, and Roots Community School: Whole Child Camp were recipients of the YIA Community Grant funds.

YIA is grateful for support from Ottercares, EPNRC, the Town of Estes Park,

Page 41

Estes Valley Library, and all participating nonprofit organizations.

The founding members of Youth in Action are: Ivy Todd, Aspen Turner, Georgia Marshall, Micah Brown, Scott Miller, and Zac Scanlan. These students served as advisors on the boards of Estes Park Medical Center Foundation, Estes Arts District, Town of Estes Park (Art in Public Places), Roots Community School, Visit Estes Park, and Estes Valley Partners for Commerce. These relationships inspire our community to continue developing the youth voice in decision-making.

After all, kids will be kids. That is exactly why their voices are so meaningful.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time of year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heading into Rooftop Rodeo week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when the Town shows its support for local cancer care by turning pink. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts for Paint Estes Pink have grown exponentially to include more business involvement, a tribute to cancer warriors, a float in the rodeo parade and eleven women collecting donations in the hopes of being crowned Mrs. Rooftop Rodeo.

With two weeks to go, the community campaign has raised more than half of the $10,000 goal to fund two new IV pumps for the Estes Park Medical Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oncology Department. This equipment administers medications like chemotherapy and is needed to keep up with a growing demand for local cancer care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community support for Paint Estes Pink is impressive,â&#x20AC;? said Larry Leaming, Estes Park Medical Center CEO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So many are helping to ensure that individuals in Estes who are fighting cancer can receive their care right here. They each deserve a great deal of thanks.â&#x20AC;?

Heading up this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts are community members representing a variety of businesses and organizations.

Financial and in-kind sponsorships from the Rooftop Rodeo, Estes Area Lodging Association, Estes Park TrailGazette, Estes Park News and Visit Estes Park have ensured that 100% of all the funds raised through direct donations, boot tribute sales, contestants in Crowns for the Care and auctioning off the Paint Estes Pink quilt will go to the EPMC Oncology Department to help purchase the IV pumps.

You can help Paint Estes Pink in any of the following ways: â&#x20AC;˘ Dropping change or a check to â&#x20AC;&#x153;EPMC Foundationâ&#x20AC;? in any of the Paint Estes Pink jars at local merchants â&#x20AC;˘ Purchasing the Paint Estes Pink coffee roast at KIND Coffee or the Love Tea at Rocky Mountain SereniTea â&#x20AC;˘ Donating at GiveToEPMC.org/pink â&#x20AC;˘ Buying a t-shirt, tank or tote from the Paint Estes Pink display at Mary Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;˘ Placing a silent auction bid on the Paint Estes Pink quilt created by the Trail Ridge Quilters â&#x20AC;˘ Purchasing anything pink at the Elizabeth Guild or Lizzieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boutique â&#x20AC;˘ Supporting a Crowns for the Care contestant with a donation at GiveToEPMC.org/CrownsForTheCare Learn more about Paint Estes Pink at GiveToEPMC.org/pink.

Yee Haw! Rooftop Rodeo Kicks Off Next Wednesday The Rooftop Rodeo, where the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains and the all-American sport of rodeo come together. Located at the Stanley Park Fairgrounds the rodeo arena is surrounded by world class views in every direction.

As the sun sets over the Continental Divide, your attention is drawn to one of the great traditions of the American west...rodeo!

The award-winning Rooftop Rodeo is celebrating it's 91st year of boot-stompin', horse-kickin', bull-buckin' cowboy fun, and is the highlight of the summer rodeo season in beautiful Estes Park! The Rooftop Rodeo won the PRCA’s Small Rodeo of the Year five times, has been nominated as one of its Top 5 Medium Rodeos in each of the last five years, and won the 2014 PRCA Mountain States Circuit Medium Rodeo of the Year along with its 2015 Most Improved Rodeo of the Year.

Rodeo week begins next Wednesday, July 5th with the ever-popular Rooftop Rodeo Parade. With over 60 entries it's a colorful start to a fun-filled week of rodeo events.

Each night at the Rooftop Rodeo, guests will experience six different Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) events and Women's Professional Barrel Racing, featuring some of America's best cowboys and cowgirls.

Bareback bronc riding, team roping, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, barrel racing and the always popular bull riding are the standard-fare events each and every night of rodeo week. For the younger cowboys and cowgirls, the Rooftop Rodeo also features a crowd-pleasing mutton bustin' competition at every rodeo performance and on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, a "cash catch" for cowpokes 8-12 years of age.

Gates open - 5:00 p.m.

Visit vendor booths, browse displays, food & beverages available. Come early to get the best seats!

Behind the Chutes Tour - 5:00 p.m.

Rodeo Evening Kickoff Show - 6:30 p.m.

PRCA Rooftop Rodeo - 7:00 p.m.

Come browse the midway and shop a wide variety of vendor booths, watch special entertainment, and enjoy some great food and beverages in a true western atmosphere.

Sign up for our Behind the Chutes tours at 5:00. It's your chance to venture out to where all the action happens. You'll meet the stock contractor, contestants and arena crew. Get an up close and personal tour of the arena equipment, see the livestock and meet the clowns. It's a great time to ask questions and to learn more about the sport of rodeo from the pros themselves.

Last year, the Chutes tours sold out every night, so be sure to get your tickets early! If you have a party of 20 or more, we may be able to arrange a special tour for your group. Call 970-577-3920 for more information. Please note that the tour will take you through areas of loose dirt (sometimes mud), so please wear appropriate shoes. Flip flops or expensive shoes are probably not a good idea!

Afterward, grab that tasty chow and a cool beverage, meet old and new friends, and settle in for a great Rooftop Rodeo evening.

Wednesday night is "Dress like a Rodeo Clown" for the kids.

Friday night is "Purple" night in awareness of domestic abuse.

Saturday night is "Pink" night to raise awareness of breast cancer.

The Rooftop Rodeo is known for its small town western hospitality and family-friendly atmosphere. Come visit and join in the fun - it's a rodeo you don't want to miss!

Tickets are available at www.rooftoprodeo.com or at the gate on the night of the performances.

We appreciate having this article provided by Alison O'Connor, Larimer County Extension Agent, written by Master Gardener Dick Christensen, to share with local gardeners Tools with good blades and design are a pleasure to hold and to use—and typically come with higher price tags. Many gardeners take a long view and invest in good- quality tools that can be passed on to future gardeners. Such tools help gardeners to tackle the work of each season.

These items often become friends. They require regular care to hold their edges, to condition wooden handles, and to retain their value. Tools need to be sharp, clean, and sterile so that they do not accidentally spread disease. Tools should be occasionally oiled and stored in accessible locations.

Sharpening Hoes, chisels, shears, scissors, knives, loppers, pruners, and shovels—these tools all require occasional sharpening.

Dull blades can be revived with files or whetstones.

Protective eyewear helps to prevent injuries caused by flying bits of metal. Heavy gloves help to prevent cuts from sharp slivers of steel.

If you’re not one to do the job yourself, many garden centers offer tool and knife sharpening as a paid service.

Cleaning and sterilizing Clean tools work better and last longer.

Plant diseases can be spread by dirty and contaminated pruning tools. Wash soil from tools with a garden hose and scrub with a wire or stiff-bristle brush. Dip tools into a diluted solution of house-

hold bleach, using ten parts water to one part bleach. Disinfecting pruning tools is especially important when trimming plants in more than one location. With a garden hose, rinse soil from digging tools after each use. Remove plant debris and sap from cutting surfaces. Rinse the clean tools and dry them thoroughly.

Oiling Clean, dry tools need to be lubricated and protected from oxidation to prevent rust. Linseed oil and camellia oil are excellent protectants for metal and wood tools. Coat all metal surfaces with the oil and let it soak in for a few minutes. Give attention to moving parts and inner springs. Wipe away excess oil. Gardeners that live in drier climates should oil handles more frequently to prevent them from drying out and cracking. Rust on any tool is the result of oxygen and water reacting with the metal. The application of oil creates a barrier that reduces metal contact with oxygen and water.

Storing Tools After cleaning, return tools to locations where they will stay dry and remain rust- free.

Small spades and trowels can be kept in a bin or large pot filled with sand soaked with linseed oil. This mixture helps to keep metal well-conditioned.

Larger tools are best hung in a dry, ventilated area. A pegboard will keep tools organized and easy to reach. A heavyduty utility bin can function like a giant pencil holder to contain long tools in the handles-down position. Do not lean tools against a garage wall touching the floor. Pavement can dull blades and hold moisture that may promote rust. Garden tools— wooden handles in particular— will last longer if they are given some care every so often.

Carol Sykes Estes Park resident Carol Sykes died Sunday, June 25, 2017 at age 92.

Carol Barbara Kling was born October 15, 1924 in Oak Park, IL, to Carl and Elizabeth (Larson) Kling.

Carol received her Bachelor of Arts in Art from the University of Colorado Boulder where she was a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. Upon graduation, she returned to the Chicago area and worked for magazine publisher Time Life, Inc. until her marriage to George Sykes on November 1, 1947.

Carol and George started their family in Dundee, IL and moved to Estes Park in 1963. In both communities Carol was active in her children’s lives, leading their Brownie and Cub Scout troops and serving as a room mother in their schools. She and George got their children involved in skiing at Hidden Valley early and enjoyed skiing there and throughout Colorado themselves. Carol continued her interest and talent in art, studying with numerous art teachers in Boulder and showing her watercolors at the Spectrum Gallery in Estes Park. She and George traveled extensively

throughout Australia and New Zealand; Europe; North, Central and South America and the Caribbean. They especially enjoyed two trips to Russia. A voracious reader, Carol was Volunteer of the Year at the Estes Valley Library in 2004. Carol is survived by her sons Jeff Sykes (Robin) of Arvada, CO, Ole Sykes (Katy) of Estes Park, daughter Beth Cutter (Steve) of Colorado Springs, CO, five grandchildren, and six great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Charles, and her husband George. Private family services have been held. The family extends special thanks to Carol’s neighbors and to caregivers from Home Instead, Home Health Care/Hospice of the Estes Valley, and Prospect Park Living Center.

In 1945 Milly graduated from high school in Hutchinson, KS and continued her education at Kansas State University earning a BS from the School of Arts and Sciences.

The Alpine Anglers Chapter of Trout Unlimited would like to thank all who attended, donated, and presented at their 2017 Annual Banquet.

Over 50 people attended this event where Chris Kennedy, Fisheries Biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Rocky Mountain National Park, and Nick Molle from Nick Molle Productions presented.

Chris presented on current fisheries projects in Rocky Mountain National Park and invited the audience to participate in fisheries conservation efforts through volunteer opportunities.

In addition to the presentations, the banquet had dozens of raffle and silent auction items. In total, the event raised well over $1000 for fisheries conservation in the Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park area.

Joseph Ray Arnold, Sr. Joseph Ray Arnold, Sr. joined his beloved wife Jane in the Beyond Country (as he termed it) on June 24, 2017.

Joe was a resident of the Good Samaritan Village, Estes Park, Colorado. Joe was born to Joseph and Delma Harvey Arnold on July 22, 1924 in Morgantown, West Virginia. His family moved to Kitzmiller, Maryland a year later where he spent his youth. He attended college at Washington College on Maryland's Eastern Shore and later earned a Masters Degree from West Virginia University.

In 1945 he moved to Boonsboro, Maryland where he began a 35 year career teaching History and Civics at Boonsboro High School. There he met Jane Kottler who was also a teacher at Boonsboro High. They married September 3, 1948. The couple had two children: Jan and Joe Jr. (Joey).

Joe was a much-loved teacher. He strove to combine humor along with educating his students. Occasionally he would take a few moments off from the lesson plan to tell outlandish tall tales of his “Uncle’s Farm,” in Garrett County, Maryland and on St. Patrick’s Day he would sing Irish songs to the students while weaving in the history of the Irish people into his lecture. Joe did these diversions as a way to make the learning environment more fun and thereby more productive. When he turned 90 he received over 400 birthday cards from former students.

In the summers, Joe was deputy director at Camp Lakewood at Terra Alta, West Virginia where he also supervised

the softball program. Joe and Jane bought a cabin on Lake Terra Alta which they much loved. Jane loved to sit on the porch and read books, while Joe loved to listen to baseball games on the radio. Joe was a lifelong Cardinals baseball fan. He was well known for always wearing his red Cardinals jacket and for telling baseball stories. Joe also loved harmony and sang tenor in many barbershop quartets and choruses for over 60 years.

After retirement, Joe and Jane often visited their son Joey in Estes Park and in 1992, they moved to Pinewood Springs. However, they retained their cabin in West Virginia and returned every year for a summer or fall retreat.

Later they moved to the Good Samaritan Village in Estes Park.

Joe will be missed for his good humor and quick wit and for his ability to make people feel good about themselves.

He is survived by his daughter Jan Arnold Warner of Hagerstown, Maryland; his son, Joe Arnold, Jr. of Estes Park, Colorado; and grandson, Justin Warner of Brooklyn, New York. A Celebration of Life will be held at the United Methodist Church of Estes Park, on Saturday, July 8 at 2:00 and at a date to be determined in Boonsboro, Maryland.

Memorial contributions may be made in Joe’s memory to the United Methodist Church in care of Allnutt Funeral Service 1302 Graves Ave. Estes Park, CO 80517. See www.allnutt.com to send a message to Joe’s family.

Meet Woodworking Artist John Thompson At Trail Ridge Store July 5 Xanterra Parks & Resorts is proud to announce artist John Thompson will be at the Trail Ridge Store in Rocky Mountain National Park on Wednesday, July 5, 2017 from 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

Originally from Oklahoma John’s roots originate from the Cherokee. John was stationed in Duluth, Minnesota after the Vietnam war where his wife Pat and he decide the people in the North were friendly and they thought it a great place to settle, plus the fishing is good.

As a professional Forester, John’s life has been spent around wood, growing it, harvesting it and regenerating new forests.

Woodworking goes back to the 7th grade for John where he discovered how much pleasure there is in making some-

thing that others enjoy. These little trees have just come naturally to John.

His love of wood and its many quirks and moods has brought him to the manufacture of these wonderful trees. Each of John’s trees is unique, different grains, colors and shapes. They are cut freehand on a band saw then sanded…and sanded…and sanded some more. Four to five coats of polyurethane varnish are applied, no color is added.

To preserve the vibrant colors, keep your forest out of direct sunlight. Grow your own personal forest and delight in the beauty of the wood.

Join Xanterra Parks & Resorts in welcoming John Thompson and delight in the creations of nature.

Become part of a quality oriented team at Estes Park Medical Center.
