Old Fall River Road In RMNP Now Open!
Old Fall River Road in Rocky Mountain National Park opened last Wednesday, June 29, for the season. Old Fall River Road normally opens by the Fourth of July holiday weekend. This summer, during periods of high vehicle congestion, park staff may restrict vehicle access when needed on Old Fall River Road. The road will close for the season to vehicles on Monday, October 3, for annual maintenance, and reopen to bicycles and pedestrians from October 7 through November 30. On December 1, the road will revert to trail status.
Kris Hazelton
Old Fall River Road was built between 1913 and 1920. It is an unpaved road which travels from Endovalley Picnic Area to above treeline at Fall River Pass, following the steep slope of Mount Chapin’s south face. Due to the winding, narrow nature of the road, the scenic 9.4mile route leading to Trail Ridge Road is one-way only. Vehicles over 25 feet and vehicles pulling trailers are prohibited on the road. For more information about Rocky Mountain National Park, please call the park’s Information Office at (970) 586-1206.
Power Outage July 6 Will Affect County Road 43 And Glen Haven Area Estes Park Light and Power to turn off electricity for safe bridge installation To allow for the safe installation of a new bridge along County Road 43 (CR 43), Estes Park Light and Power will turn electric service off in the CR 43 and Glen Haven area the morning of Wednesday, July 6. The outage will allow the crane used by American Civil Constructors to operate safely during installation. It will begin at approximately 7 a.m. and is estimated to be restored approximately 12 p.m. The outage will affect all residents northeast of Glen Haven, including residents of CR 43, Dunraven Glade Road, Elkridge Drive,
Elkridge Court, Streamside Drive, Solitude Court, Corner Court, Saddle Court, Black Creek Drive, Copper Hill Road, Copper Hill Court, Miller Fork Road, Barking Coyote Court, Bulwark Ridge Court and Old Bride Road.

Solid Waste Citizen Survey Launched Larimer County, Area Cities Seeking Citizen Input on Solid Waste A short survey to gather information about the habits and values of County residents, related to solid waste, has been launched. A Regional Wasteshed Coalition, made up of elected officials and staff from the City of Fort Collins, City of Loveland, Town of Estes Park, and Larimer County, is seeking help from residents to address the future of solid waste management. http://colostate.az1.qualtrics.com/SE/?S ID=SV_23ruT4v7Ih6YedT They survey takes 5-7 minutes to complete and is also available in a Spanish
language version. Questions focus on how respondents dispose of garbage, recyclables, food scraps and yard trimmings at home, but also enquire about attitudes and motivations. The survey will be available online until the end of July, 2016. Results from the survey will be incorporated into a series of facilitated public forums, scheduled around the County in September. A follow-up survey is likely in early 2017. For more information on the project and dates/locations of the fall forums, visit http://www.larimer.org/wasteshed/

Repairs To Upper SH-7 (Estes Park To Raymond) To Begin July 5 Weekday delays of 10-20 minutes expected through October 2017; except in winter – no weekend work planned The Colorado Department of Transportation and ACC Mountain West will begin repairs on State Highway 7, from the intersection of SH 72 to Estes Park, on July 5. The first phase, from SH 72 to Lily Lake (MP 6.3) will be done this year. Work on Phase 1 includes installation of more than 20 culverts to carry water under the road, reconstruction of the shoulders, rock scaling, slope stabilization and asphalt paving. The project is slated to last until October 2017 with a winter shutdown from Nov. 15 – March 15. State Highway 7 in Boulder and Larimer Counties (also known as the Peak-to-Peak Highway) became the designated detour route for access to Estes Park following the floods of September 2013 which completely closed US 34 and US 36. It wasn’t that SH 7 escaped damage from the floods - Shoulders and pavement were washed out, slopes failed and ditches were filled with sediment and debris - the road, however, was still passable so it became a logical detour. Now with the excess wear and tear on the corridor, and because of the flood damage, it’s time SH 7 gets its rehabilitation. CDOT and its contractor partner ACC do not anticipate any full closures of SH 7 but will have single-lane traffic at cul-
vert crossings that will be managed with temporary signals. These signals will alternate traffic during non-construction hours with a maximum 5-minute hold. During working hours, ACC will manage traffic using flaggers who will maintain holds shorter than 10 minutes throughout the project with the exception of days when rock fall mitigation occurs which may require holds up to 30 minutes. ACC will assure all emergency response teams and local businesses are alerted to the detour. ACC will be working Monday – Friday from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. with any traffic disruptions ending by noon on Friday. ACC is a Colorado-based contractor building similar projects since 1975. Since the flood of 2013, ACC has been involved in temporary and permanent repairs on US 34, Larimer CR 27, Larimer CR 43, Larimer CR 47 and SH 14 and is very familiar with the flood’s impact on the community and the tourism in the Estes Park area. Sign up for regular project updates by visiting CDOT’s website at https://www.codot.gov/projects/floodrelatedprojects/sh-7-estes-park-raymond and clicking on the blue/green cell phone button on the right. You may also call the public Information hotline at 303-7385106 or via email at publicinfo@accbuilt.com. You will receive a response within 24 hours.

Rooftop Rodeo Already Setting Records
Champs, NFR qualifiers among nearly 800 contestants planning for Estes Park This town of about 6,000 people is home to around four million summertime visitors who take in the exceptional hospitality and beautiful landscape that is Rocky Mountain National Park. It's about to get a little bigger with the 90th edition of the Rooftop Rodeo, set for 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 6-Monday, July 11, at Granny May Arena in Estes Park. Nearly 800 contestants have signed up to compete during this year's event. "In visiting with our stock contractor,
Binion Cervi, we have 786 contestants that have entered our rodeo," said Mark Purdy, chairman of Estes Park Western Heritage Inc., a group of volunteers that works with the town of Estes Park to produce the annual rodeo. "There is still an opportunity for re-entries, so there's a great chance that we will have more than 800 entries for our rodeo this year." The 2015 Rooftop Rodeo featured a then-record 724 entries, so the increase means good things for the community and for the rodeo in general. "We have a pretty significant committee
purse of more than $61,000 in all our events combined," said Ben Vigil, president of Estes Park Western Heritage. "When you add all those contestants entry fees into the mix, it makes our overall purse phenomenal." The prospective contestant list will feature more than 90 athletes that have all qualified for the National Finals Rodeo, the sport's year-end championship that takes place each December in Las Vegas. Among those are 15 world championships that dozens gold buckles combined, like four-time barrel racing titlist Sherry Cervi of Marana, Ariz. Not only does she own 18 NFR qualifications, but also she has earned more than $3 million in her career. "It's great for us to see so many of rodeo's best who want to be in Estes Park for our rodeo," Vigil said. "We want to provide them with the best hospitality possible and let them know we are here for them. "Our goals are to put on a great competition for the cowboys and cowgirls and to put on great performances for fans. We want to entertain them and let them enjoy their Estes Park experience that much more."

That's why Rooftop Rodeo has been recognized as one of the top 20 events in ProRodeo. It has been named Small Rodeo of the Year five times; since 2011, it has been listed among the top five medium rodeos in the country. A key reason for that involves a tireless work ethic among members of the community that donate their time for the event. It takes hundreds of man-hours every year to make the week of festivities as successful as they have been over the years. "We are very proud of the history of our rodeo," Purdy said. "This is our 90th year, and to have a record number of contestants enter our rodeo is just going to add to our celebration. "We have an amazing group of people that work very diligently to make our rodeo the best it can be. I'm very proud to be associated with all of them."

Street Closures In Effect July 6 For Rooftop Rodeo Parade Shuttle routes altered The annual Rooftop Rodeo Parade will travel through downtown Estes Park beginning at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, July 6. Beginning at approximately 10 a.m., the Estes Park Police Department will close the parade route along Elkhorn Avenue, from West Park Center in the 400-block of West Elkhorn Avenue east to the U.S. 34 and U.S. 36 intersection. Portions of Elkhorn Avenue will reopen to vehicles when it is safe for pedestrians. The parade then turns onto U.S. 36 and CO Highway 7, then left onto Fourth Street before ending at the Fairgrounds Park-n-Ride. These streets will close to vehicle traffic just before the parade arrives. Side streets along the parade route remain open during the parade, but access to the parade route will be prohibited until the parade passes. To avoid the parade route and bypass downtown, mo-
torists may use alternate routes including the Moccasin bypass, Graves Avenue, Community Drive, U.S. 36 to Mall Road, and U.S. 34. The Estes Park Free Shuttles will experience some delays due to the parade July 6 beginning at 9:30 a.m. until the completion of the parade. The shuttles are expected to resume the normal schedule by noon. The following stops will be out of service during the parade: Brown Route #1 - Estes Park Visitor Center and #18 - Barlow Plaza; Silver Route #4 Estes Park Event Center (expect delays at all other Silver Route stops); and Gold Route (Elkhorn Express trolley) all stops out of service.

Kerschner Family Named Rooftop Rodeo Parade Grand Marshals The Estes Park Rooftop Rodeo is proud to announce its Grand Marshal for this year’s parade, which is scheduled for Wednesday, July 6 at 10:30 a.m. The Kershner Family will collectively be Grand Marshal, representing the legacy of their father, Bernie. Bernie and his family have been longtime supporters of the Rooftop Rodeo; when Bernie passed away last month, his family became the obvious choice to be honored at the parade. Bernie was the Grand Marshal in
the Rooftop’s 2011 Parade. There will be a special memorial to Bernie at Wednesday night’s Rooftop Rodeo, and that night has been deemed The Kershner Family Night at the rodeo. The Rooftop Rodeo is also proud to announce that Big 97.9 radio personalities Scott and Sadie will be announcing the parade in addition to broadcasting their morning radio show live from Estes Park on parade day.

Holiday Weekend use allowed July 2-4 In spite of several weather delays, conflicts with buried utilities, and necessary field design revisions, the Town’s contractor, SEMA Construction, Inc. has nearly completed Phase 1 of Dry Gulch Road reconstruction from U.S. 34 north to Wildfire Road. The cost of the work remains within budget. For convenience during the upcoming weekend, motorists will be allowed to travel the full length of Dry Gulch Road. On Tuesday, July 5, the Phase 1 segment will again close to traffic while the contractor completes the sidewalk and miscellaneous grading work. On Monday July 11, the newly constructed Phase 1 road and trail are expected to be fully open to traffic and the Phase 2 road closure from Wildfire Road north to Stone Gate Drive will begin. Reconstruction of the north section of Dry Gulch Road, the final layer of paving on the south section, the new right turn lane on U.S. 34, and the trail connection to the Lake Estes Trail are tentatively scheduled for completion in September 2016. The Town will continue to work with local residents to maintain full access via detours and to mitigate other construction impacts. The signed detour for through traffic will remain routed to Wonderview Avenue, MacGregor Avenue and Devil’s Gulch Road. Local detour traffic is permitted to use neighborhood streets west of Dry Gulch Road. The full closures of Dry Gulch Road allow the Town to complete construction in a significantly shorter timeframe than otherwise required if the contractor is required to maintain open lanes of traffic through the work zone. This is necessary to complete the project before the onset of winter weather. Visit
www.estes.org/drygulch for construction. The Dry Gulch Road project includes the following improvements: • Road reconstruction for one mile of two-lane road repair within Town limits. This includes curb and gutter improvements for improved storm drainage • New, protected left turn lanes for northbound traffic at Red Tail Hawk Drive and for southbound traffic at U.S. • New, protected right turn lane for westbound traffic on U.S. 34 • Realignment of the Dry Gulch Road intersection with U.S. 34 • An eight-foot-wide concrete multi-use trail on the west side of Dry Gulch Road (attached to the curb); • A trail connection east of Dry Gulch Road, along U.S. 34, that uses an existing CDOT bridge/culvert to cross under U.S. 34 and connect with the Lake Estes Trail The contracted construction cost of the complete project is approximately $3.93 million, which includes road repair and expansion for approximately $936,000, storm drainage improvements for $1.18 million and trail improvements for $1.82 million. The Town has been saving to fund this major improvement project since 2013. Funding will be provided by the Town’s Community Reinvestment Fund and Street Improvement Fund (Ballot Issue 1A funds). The Dry Gulch Road multi-use trail and connection to the Lake Estes Trail is component is funded by the Trails Expansion Funds (Ballot Issue 1A Sales Tax) and the Larimer County Open Space Fund.

EPNEWS.COM One word: HOKA. That’s what my brother-in-law said when he heard I was doddering around with a swollen knee after returning to the sport of running following a hiatus of several years. (Hey, don’t even begin to think I was sitting on my duff eating bonbons during my break from running. I was hiking instead. And I didn’t give up running entirely. In fact, I ran around the lake without stopping that one time. But the dang blasted hills in Estes make running downright torturous. So when I did run I kept it to around two miles and finally admitted I wasn’t having fun and gave it up a few years ago. Now I’m back at it, and had begun picking up mileage when my knees staged a mutiny.) One word: HOKA, the hottest running shoe currently on the market. They are goofy looking shoes with marshmallow, rocking chair and bucket seat technologies (HOKA’s words, not mine) that remind me of therapeutic footwear for hippies. But it’s important to look good when you run, especially when you’re trying to mask a gimpy gate like Captain Ahab’s. I decided wearing funky footwear was better than hobbling like a peg leg, so off I went to the running store to get some HOKAs. Michael greeted me as I stepped in the store. Tall, thin Michael, with that almost gaunt look of an avid many-miles runner. I didn’t tell him I was there specifically for HOKAs, so he was going through the hohum of having me try on several different styles of shoes as if I were any middleaged woman trying to preserve what’s left of her youth by taking up running. When I mentioned that I’d like to try a pair of HOKAs, he cheered up considerably. He had taken a run that very morning in his own HOKAs, he told me, suddenly his new best running compatriot. As he looped my HOKA laces into two bunny ears and tied them in a bow I told Michael I had been reading Jim Fixx’s book on running. (It’s fascinating to watch the many different ways people tie shoes. It’s not a universal process. No bunny ears for me, but they work for Michael.) He said years ago he quoted George Sheehan’s best-selling “Running and Being” philosophies as he ran alongside a young female on whom he had a mad crush, attempting to woo her. Thirty-three years later she remains his wife and they still run together. I congratulated him and said not everyone is so lucky. I knew someone who was wooed with promises of many hikes together but once wooee and wooed wed, the hiking together part dwindled and then ceased. “How wooed,” he said. Michael was funny.
“Ya win some, ya lose some,” I said back. “You can’t win them all,” he said. “Winning is for losers.” “Count your blessings, not your losses.” There was a pause. Could I keep it going? “Rock on!” I said, lifting a shoebox into the air. “Life is a rock.” “Life is like a box of chocolates.” (I love to say that.) “Run, Forrest, Run!” Running recently became a knee-pain issue because a doctor told me I might get osteoporosis sometime and I should do some weight-bearing exercise to prevent it. My effort was futile. Cousin MaryPat, also a thin white woman threatened with this bone disease, said, “It is so frustrating when you try doing something good for you and it backfires. Like eating lots of yogurt and finding out that's what's causing the increase in sinus infections. Or snacking on raw carrots and getting TMJ [jaw pain].” MaryPat encouraged me to dance away osteoporosis as she does. Susan suggested that since running has caused distress to my knees, maybe I could get exercise by making multiple trips to the refrigerator, ergo adding weight to my bones. That would work if I kept my chocolate in the refrigerator. My hiking friend Ann said, “Every time the doctor suggests I should be tested for osteoporosis I say ‘no.’ I tell him I fall all the time and never break anything so I'm fine!” Atta girl! Michael ordered my HOKAs from another store and I’ll pick them up tomorrow. I’m icing my knees and hoping that soon I’ll be running again. When I am bounding gleefully along in my HOKAs, I will contemplate George Sheehan’s philosophy on running and being (I took the liberty of changing the gender to feminine): “The runner who accepts the past in the person she is, and sees the future as promise rather than threat, is completely and utterly in the present. She is absorbed in her encounter with the everyday world. She is mysteriously reconciling the separations of body and mind, of pain and pleasure, of the conscious and unconscious. She is repairing the rent and healing the wound in her divided self. She has found a way to make the ordinary extraordinary; the commonplace, unique; the everyday, eternal.” You may let The Thunker know what you think at her e-mail address, donoholdt@gmail.com. © 2016 Sarah Donohoe

The 90th edition of the Rooftop Rodeo, set for 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 6Monday, July 11, at Granny May Arena in Estes Park. Estes Park is beautiful and vibrant, just like the Rocky Mountains that surround it. It’s as if nature made the perfect backdrop for the town of more than 6,000 year-round residents that draws more than 4 million visitors each summer. “Estes Park is absolutely beautiful in July,” said Ben Vigil, president of Estes Park Western Heritage Inc., a group of volunteers that works with the town of Estes Park to produce the annual rodeo. “We have so much to offer our visitors throughout the year, but it gets especially nice in the summertime. “At the Rooftop Rodeo, we’re glad to be part of an Estes Park summer, just as we have been for the last 90 years.” Of course, it’s not just another rodeo; it’s an award-winning rodeo. After being
named the PRCA’s Small Rodeo of the Year five times, Rooftop Rodeo upped its prize money. By doing so, it moved into the medium rodeo category. By not standing on its past accomplishments, the rodeo has been nominated for Medium Rodeo of the Year every year since. “Every year we work hard to improve in every aspect of our rodeo,” said Mark Purdy, chairman of the Estes Park Western Heritage. “We would love to be the Medium Rodeo of the Year, but when we moved up a level, we also saw how many good rodeos there were in that category.” The contestants realize that. In fact, this year’s rodeo features a record number of entrants with nearly 800 cowboys and cowgirls who have put their hat into the ring to battle for the honor of winning the Estes Park title. “Even though winning that title would be a feather in our cap,” Purdy said, “our main purpose is to put on the best rodeo for the contestants, then allow them to put on the best show for our fans.” That makes the Rooftop Rodeo a winwin situation for all involved.

The EA document, appendices, technical reports and traffic simulation will be posted on the project website (www.downtownestesloop.com) on the Environmental Assessment page for public download and viewing. In addition, hard copies of the EA and comment forms will be made available during the public comment period at the following locations: • Town Hall Town Clerk, Room 130 170 MacGregor Avenue Estes Park, Colorado 80517 970.577.4777 • Estes Valley Library 335 East Elkhorn Avenue Estes Park, Colorado 80517 970.586.8116 • Estes Park Visitor Center 500 Big Thompson Avenue Estes Park, Colorado 80517 970.577.9900 • FHWA, Central Federal Lands Highway Office (Front Desk) 12300 West Dakota Avenue Lakewood, Colorado 80228 720.963.3000 • CDOT Region 4 10601 West 10th Street Greeley, Colorado 80634 970.350.2148 • CDOT Headquarters 4201 East Arkansas Avenue Denver, Colorado 80222 303.757.9011 Project team members will be available for one-on-one questions and answers with the public on July 14th from 12-4 p.m. at the Town Hall, Rooms 202 and 203. A formal presentation will not be made at this session. The intent is to answer individual questions concerning the technical substance of the EA document. A public hearing will be held for the project on July 20th, 2016 at the Estes Park Event Center (1125 Rooftop Way) from 4:30-8:30 PM. Team members will be on hand to answer questions from 4:30 – 5PM. A presentation will be given by the project team from 5-5:30 PM. Members of the public who wish to make verbal public comment before their peers and a court reporter from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. will be asked to register on a sign-up sheet. The project team requests that speakers keep their comments to within three minutes in order to allow as many individuals to comment as possible. An open house format will follow from 7:30-8:30 p.m. Verbal comments may also be made one-on-one to a court reporter at any time during the meeting, between 4:30 and 8:30 p.m. It is important to note that public comments do not have to be submitted orally at the hearing; they may be received in writing at the hearing or at any time during the comment period.
To comment on the EA: • Directly through the project website (www.downtownestesloop.com) under the Comment on the EA tab • Verbal comment at the Public Hearing • Through a comment form provided at the question and answer session, public hearing or available at the Town Hall Office, Town Clerk, Room 130 (170 MacGregor Avenue) • Through the project email address: info@downtownestesloop.com Additionally, in accordance with federal law, FHWA is soliciting comments on the effects this project would have on portions of Riverside/Baldwin Park and Children’s Park. FHWA is anticipating a determination that the roadway improvements meet the definition of a de minimis impact, as defined in 23 CFR 774.17 (5). A de minimis finding may be made when uses of Section 4 (f) land will have no adverse effect on the protected resources. Comments on this finding will be taken during the EA comment period. Project Background This project originated through the Town’s 2013 application for Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) funds to explore a one-way couplet along Elkhorn Avenue, Moraine Avenue and Riverside Drive. Approximately $17.2 Million in funds were subsequently awarded through a combination of FLAP funds and CDOT RAMP (Responsible Acceleration of Maintenance and Partnerships). An EA was then initiated in the Fall of 2014, beginning with the development of a purpose and need statement: Improve access to RMNP by reducing travel time and congestion, and improve safety through Downtown Estes Park. A multi-tiered screening process led to the decision to evaluate the environmental impacts of the No Action and the Proposed Action (One-Way Couplet) in the EA. A public meeting was held in March 2015 to present the alternatives analysis findings, followed by Town Board action in April 2015 to continue the EA process. Together, the three agency partners– Central Federal Lands Highway Division, Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), and the Town of Estes Park – are committed to delivering a project that helps alleviate congestion and improve overall connectivity between the Town and Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP). Summary of Key Dates: • EA Public Comment Period: July 5thAugust 5th • EA Question and Answer: July 14th, 124 p.m., Town Hall Rooms 202 and 203 • Public Hearing: July 20th, 4:30-8:30 PM, Presentation at 5 p.m., Estes Park Event Center Subsequent to the public comment period, CFL, in coordination with the Town and CDOT, will review and consider public comments and work toward a NEPA decision document this Fall.

An Honor To Be A Guardian On Honor Flight By: Laurie Button
The Fourth of July is such an important day in the history of our nation. For me, the holiday has evolved as I’ve gotten older. When I was a kid, the Fourth was all about the exciting fireworks Uncle Walt would bring from Sioux Falls to my grandparents’ home at Lake Okoboji. Equally important was taking the boat out on the lake at dusk to watch the “real” fireworks show being launched from a barge near Arnolds Park. Sure, I knew about the Revolutionary War and how we’d won our independence from England. But I was more concerned with the sparklers, black cats, and Uncle Walt’s explosive bottle rockets. And okay: the picnic food wasn’t bad, either. It’s taken me many years and a multitude of experiences to fully realize the Fourth of July means so much more than that. I was attending Luther College in Decorah, IA toward the end of the Vietnam War. Students were marching in protest. Eugene McCarthy had made a run for president. It was a tumultuous time. Young men I’d graduated with from high school suddenly found themselves in the jungles of a foreign land, thousands of miles away. Some of them never came home. A few years later I married a Vietnam veteran. He’d been a radio operator and witnessed more than a few horrific scenes during his tour of duty. I remember sitting in the bleachers with him one Fourth of July waiting for the fireworks show to begin. Suddenly there was an unexpected boom and my husband disappeared from sight. I looked down to find him on the ground under the bleachers. He told me later he’d flashed back to Vietnam and his reflexes had sent him into self-preservation mode. We eventually divorced and to this day I attribute more than a few of the problems in our marriage to how Vietnam altered his personality. Once again, the effects of war became tangible in life. I think it was that night, looking under the bleachers, when I began to fully grasp the courage of those in our military and the sacrifices they make to protect the freedoms we enjoy every day. One way I’ve been able to say thank you to those veterans is by becoming a member of the Estes Park Honor Flight Committee. As many of you know, Honor Flight is an organization that flies veterans of WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and Purple Heart recipients of all wars to Washington, D.C. to visit the military memorials there. There’s no cost to the veterans. The local committee was established in 2011 by Vern Mertz and Bob Brunson, WWII veterans themselves. Jack MacDade and Gary Brown soon joined the
ranks. MacDade is also a WWII vet and Brown, too, served our country in the military. Today the committee has more than a dozen members. Since its inception, the group has funded Honor Flight trips for 70 area veterans. The monies are administered by Honor Flight Northern Colorado, the nonprofit organization that organizes two flights each year. Fifteen local residents have also served as Guardians, assisting the veterans on their trips. Guardians pay for their own airfare and all expenses. In May of 2013 I was honored to serve as one of those Guardians for three local vets – Dick Marquart, Ralph Knoll and Dink Oversteg – and it was an experience I will treasure for the rest of my life. The Patriot Guard led our buses on motorcycles from Loveland to DIA; there was a police escort alongside and a helicopter overhead; bystanders and emergency vehicles with their personnel stood waving American flags at every I25 overpass; people cheered as the vets passed through the Baltimore airport. I wish it was possible to convey the looks on the faces of the veterans in our group. They were appreciative beyond words. At 12:30 p.m. Sunday, July 3 there will be a free showing of the acclaimed film “Honor Flight: One Last Mission” at the Reel Mountain Theater in Stanley Village. The doors open at noon. As an added bonus, theater-goers will be treated to free popcorn. It’s a 70-minute movie sharing the story of how the national Honor Flight organization came about. Along the way, it also introduces you to four very special WWII veterans. You’ll learn a little bit about their war experiences and then travel with them on an actual Honor Flight. During the film you’ll laugh, you’ll be inspired, and yes – you’ll probably shed a tear or two. Both the showing and the popcorn were made possible through the generosity of the theater’s owner, Craig Conley. Members of the Honor Flight Committee hope you plan to join them at the Reel Mountain Theater July 3rd. The Fourth of July celebrates our nation’s independence. But it also honors those who have given some, if not all, to maintain the freedoms we treasure today. Five generations ago, my grandfather Humphrey Scroggin fought in the Revolutionary War with the Virginia Militia. I’m proud of his contributions to our country’s legacy and it’s my prayer we never forget the sacrifices of all those who have fought, and continue to fight, for our liberty. One final note: Sadly, my husband, Joel, and I received news that two of my veterans from the 2013 trip passed away recently. Dick Marquart and Richard “Dink” Oversteg were two remarkable men that will be sorely missed in our community.

Estes Park Yoga Under New Ownership
Estes Park Yoga is under new ownership by Kendra Ryan. Opened last year, Estes Park Yoga is the only dedicated yoga studio in town. “Estes Park Yoga has become a peaceful, encouraging place for residents and visitors to practice. We are excited to be a part of this community and to continue our role as a place to nurture the mind, body, and spirit.” Kendra and her family moved to Estes full time last fall; however, her family has been in the area for 50 years. She started practicing yoga in 1999 as a way to balance her life in the Navy. Kendra then received her certification to teach in 2009 and has taught on board ships, on a cross continent bicycle tour, and in more traditional places like the Estes Park studio. Nine other instructors of various
backgrounds join her in teaching 14 classes per week. “The diversity of our instructors is amazing. We are able to offer all levels from beginner to level three, and various styles.” Estes Park Yoga will remain in the same location, with the same instructors, and the same schedule. However, Kendra intends to make a few changes including offering an outdoor class, a monthly unlimited membership, and a couple specials including “Bring a Friend for free” from July 1st – 9th. Those interested can find out more at www.estesparkyoga.com or www.facebook.com/estesparkyoga. Or, stop by the studio at 145 E.

With the 4th of July looming in the near distance, I wonder how many hot dogs, coleslaw, potato salad and baked beans will be eaten on that day! We will have a few friends and both sons and family and Marie’s group here for the fireworks. My trees have grown so much in the past 23 years that we have to sit on the driveway to enjoy the show but we still have a ring side view. Years ago they were shot off right below us on the lake. Often times you wondered if they would hit the house or one of us. As Estes Park grew, the site was changed but we are lucky that they still are so close. I didn’t have a party the year Caliste, my husband, was so ill or the next year after he died. Marie was so thoughtful that year; she came over to watch the fireworks with me so I would not be alone. But years soften the grief and one has to go on or be such a drag that no one wants to be around you. Caliste has been gone seven years this July and I do miss him and his pleasant ways. On the bright side, we had so many good years of marriage, culminated in our wonderful time here in Estes. I have told you often that I write this column because of his encouragement. In looking over the many articles I have done, boy have I done a lot, I noticed all of the rhubarb recipes I have given to you my dear readers. My rhubarb got pretty damaged with that hail but nothing can kill rhubarb. It is up and ready to pick if any of y’all want some. Getting back to the 4th of July: I have a new recipe for baked beans that I think
Page 17
will be delicious. It is from Southern Living and I can hardly wait to try it. I changed some of the ingredients but I think y’all might like it for your 4th gathering. Rum Baked Beans 10-12 servings preheat oven 350 degrees 8 slices of chopped and cooked crisp bacon 1 chopped sweet onion 2 minced garlic cloves 1- (28-oz.) Bushes baked beans with brown sugar 1-can (15-16 oz.) can each of the following drained and rinsed beans: Butter beans Black beans Light kidney beans (Red Beans) And black eyed peas (or dark Kidney beans or both) ½ cup dark brown sugar ½ cup ketchup ½ cup rum ¼ cup apple cider vinegar Cook bacon and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon grease and sauté onions till translucent and then add garlic and cook about 30 seconds. Spoon all ingredients into lightly greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Bake covered with foil for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake another 30 minutes. My email: esther.cenac@gmail.com Bon appétit

Estes Park Village Band To Present Patriotic Concert On July 4
The Estes Park Village Band will present its annual Fourth of July Concert at Performance Park, Estes Park’s beautiful outdoor performance facility located on west Elkhorn Avenue. The free concert, featuring patriotic music and marches, will begin at 7:00 p.m. Audience members are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets. The concert will be performed, rain or shine, and will conclude by 8:30 p.m. so audience members can travel to their favorite fireworks-viewing area before the fireworks show begins at 9:30 p.m. The band will be performing a variety of patriotic selections, celebrating America’s history, culture and traditions through music. In what has become a Village Band tradition, American flags will be distributed to the audience before the concert begins. This is the band’s 34th year of performing for the Estes Park community and its visitors. Sharing the conducting duties for Saturday’s program will be Loren Johnson, Jeff Klintberg and Chuck Varilek. Varilek will open the concert with “The Star-Spangled Banner,” followed by “An American Fanfare” by Rick Kirby. Vocalist Scott Anderson will then lead the audience in singing Irving Berlin’s “God Bless America,” while being accompanied by the band. The victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on America will next be remembered with the performance of “Amazing Grace,” featuring Matt McDaniel on bagpipes. Johnson will take over the conductor’s duties starting with the march “National Emblem” by E. E. Bagley. “Star Spangled Spectacular,” a medley of George M. Cohan songs will be performed next and will include “Yankee Doodle Dandy” and “You’re A Grand Old Flag.” The band will continue with John Williams’ movie theme “The Cowboys,” followed by Irving Berlin’s “This Is My Country,” as arranged by Estes Park resident Jerry Brubaker, again featuring Anderson as vocalist. In what has become an Estes Park tradition, Johnson will then direct the Village Band in the performance of a special selection, “Armed Forces Medley.”
This arrangement features the theme songs of the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Marines and Air Force. Members of the audience who have served or are currently serving in the Armed Forces, and their family members, will be asked to stand and be recognized with applause during the performance of their service theme song. Klintberg will next take over the directing responsibilities, starting with “Victory At Sea,” composed by Richard Rodgers. Anderson will be featured soloist on the next two selections, “Freedom Isn’t Free” and “God Bless The U.S.A.” Varilek will once again lead the band, starting with Henry Fillmore’s march, “America Exultant.” “Gershwin By George,” a medley of Gershwin compositions also arranged by Brubaker will feature “Strike Up The Band,” “Summertime” and “I Got Rhythm.” The band will continue with a Karl L. King march, “The Trombone King,” followed by a new John Wasson composition “Curtain Call.” The Village Band will feature Anderson once more as he leads the audience in singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” a remembrance of police officers, fire fighters and other first responders who have lost their lives in the performance of their duties. To finish the concert, Varilek will direct the Village Band in its traditional July 4th performance of “The Stars And Stripes Forever” by John Philip Sousa. The Village Band is an affiliate member of the Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park. The group has received a Community Service Grant from the town of Estes Park each year, starting in 2002. Some of the music performed at this concert was purchased through the grant awards. The Estes Park Village Band is a community band made up of musicians from the Estes Park area as well as from surrounding communities. New members are always welcome to perform with the band. Rehearsals are on Tuesday evenings, starting at 7:30 p.m. in the Estes Park High School bandroom For more information contact Chuck Varilek at 970-586-8776.

“Meet The Artisan, Mary Crone” At The Monday Artisans Market This week's featured artisan is Mary Crone from Glen Haven. Creating ceramic sculptures is a new love for Mary Crone. After years of traditional pottery making Mary broke away from the wheel production and has put her energy and spirit into hand built sculptures. Her work reflects the joy and spirit of her creative processes. Mary is interested in ceramics with personality, beauty, and attitude. The marks of the process, the slight distortion from a gentle hand, or the fingerprints are all a part of the "Meet the Artisan" celebrates our won- language with which exclaim, "I was not derful and talented local artisans at the machine-made, I was not mass-proMonday Artisans Market.

fills me with gratitude. I have always been drawn to clay. Every time I pick up a piece of clay I feel something stirring inside. Sculpting comes naturally to me and I love creating something from what is basically a pile of mud. Clay is an art form that combines everything I love: the relationship between form and design, nature, fine craftsmanship, color and texture. I like the wet clay stage best: the rawness and true nature of the material exposed and the wonderful, supple way the forms feel in my hands." Mary is delighted when she sells a piece of her work, as she feels that what started from an unformed bit of clay turned into a sculpture that will travel on to another person for their pleasure. 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.

New Shop “gallery vii” Set To Open July 4 In Allenspark As new owners of "gallery vii" Susan and Gary Kerr are inviting folks to make the pilgrimage to their new business in Allenspark. “gallery vii” is housed in an almost 100 year old cabin located at 9,000 feet on beautiful Hwy. 7 next to Charlie Eagle Plumes in the old Bishops Gallery. Beginning in July, and going through October "gallery vii "will be exhibiting 15 emerging, mid-career and established artists creating works on paper, paintings, fine art photography, sculpture and artisan furniture. Later in the season they will be including fine jewelry, and on-going will be smatterings of antiques and artifacts. The mission of the gallery is to bring people, art and nature together. Susan said, “We're excited for this short window of opportunity to expose those passing by to fine art at its best. We can't express enough gratitude to our artists and Bill Bishop for helping us realize this dream of opening a gallery, especially here in Tahosa Valley.” She added, “Our artists are coming from right down the road, in Allenspark, Ward, Coal Creek Canyon and Fort Collins, to as far away as Dallas, Utah, Madrid, Venice and Vienna. Many of our artists, such as Jason Mehl, spent a decade in nature, training their eyes in the outdoors. Jason spent 10 solid years camping and living out of his truck in the many great and different national parks, RMNP being his favorite.” Many of their artists lived in artist’s cabins in the mountains without running water for a decade or longer. Another grew up on a ranch. They also have two Venetians artists that grew up on the canals of Venice amongst the classics and architecture. Susan said, “Combined, our artists are bringing to our new gallery vii; historical landscapes and wildlife paintings, mountain scapes, desert scapes, abstracts, still lifes, etchings, documentary photography, fine art photography, travel photography, bronze and glass sculptures and beyond.” See their ad on page five for the line up of their artists, and watch their website for exhibits and events, or they can always be reached by phone. Susan and Gary have soirees planned throughout the season with the Rocky Ridge musicians and of course, many of their artists will be present in person and they are happy to plan private get togethers for those inquiring, even if it is very impromptu. Current exhibits include Marianne Billingsley and her portraiture featuring relationships and art such as father/son, mother/daughter, close friends and boyfriend girlfriend art duos. The Renaissance Man exhibit features the infamous Michael Donahue from Peggy Donahue's private collection of works by her late husband. There is also the park under a lens, a commission by the gallery with the Italian documentary photographer Christian Tasso with exclusive photos for the gallery of RMNP. Lastly, an exhibit "Dressing up the
Gables" a commission by the gallery with Javier Arce and his girlfriend Belen from Madrid, create a work of art that will have a historic and political bent. The installation will be placed on the gables of The Cabin/Fine Art Gallery.

After 33 years of dedicated service to the Estes Park community, Fire Chief Scott Dorman is now retiring from the Estes Valley Fire Protection District. Dorman originally joined the Estes Park Volunteer Fire Department in 1983, at a time when the sole fire station was located on the current site of the Town Hall Board room on MacGregor Avenue. Since that time, he has held several positions, including volunteer fire chief. He was involved in many firsts during a period of growth for the volunteer organization as an EMT and Dive Team member, which continued during the transition to the Fire District, as the District’s first paid Fire Chief. Working with the inaugural District Board, Dorman added paid personnel to supplement the professional service to the community with a Training Captain, Administrative Assistant, WUI Coordinator and Fire Marshal. Maintaining a volunteer force of firefighters isn't easy, although Dorman made sure to provide for a high level of training and service by overseeing the addition of new apparatus, training standards and personal protective equipment for the District's members. Estes Valley residents have been well
Page 29
cared for under Dorman's attention to many areas including public safety and financial stewardship. He led the drive to lower the community ISO ratings in town and out of town, an insurance standard tied directly to residents' insurance costs, and, secured nearly a million dollars in grant funding over the last two decades to cover the costs of numerous equipment and service programs. Fire District Board President Doug Klink remarked: “Scott's contributions have enhanced public safety for residents of the Estes Valley, and are a legacy that he can certainly be proud of. Improvements to training and equipment have made the volunteer firefighters safer and more effective.” With Dorman's last day as Fire Chief this Friday, July 1st, we bid him a fond farewell on his next journey in life. Scott tells us he’ll stay busy with projects around the home as well as traveling with his wife, Dot and expanding his hobby of photography. Thank you Chief Dorman for your many years of service to our community.

"The Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park is thrilled to welcome Mary Morgan as our new gallery assistant," said Barb Boyer Buck, the organization's executive director. Morgan started on June 12 and will be working the gallery Tuesday Thursday. She earned a master's degree in Arts Administration/Museum Studies from the University of Oregon, and a bachelor's degree in anthropology from Centre College. When she's not at the fine art gallery, you can find Morgan working part time leading historic tours at the Stanley Hotel. "Art is not a frivolity or luxury!" said Morgan. "It should be accessible and inclusive towards all people in our community because increased arts opportunities enhance quality of life. The arts can express and communicate, heal and transform, bring people together as well as inspire. "As a new person to town, I hope to make myself more active in Estes Park and share ideas by connecting to the creative people who make this beautiful place their home. Art is also not just for people in high population areas (or just for people with money!) "That's why I appreciate not only places
that advocate for rural arts but also the opportunity this organization brings to showcase and support artists of all paths and visions. We have a wonderfully high concentration of people here with talents and gifts and we should celebrate it both for ourselves and for our many visitors to experience." Morgan continued, "I have lived many places in my life but being from Wyoming I will always be a Rocky Mountains/High Plains kind of girl. I have a fiancĂŠ, Miles Barger, who works for Rocky Mountain National Park. We live right here in town with our golden retriever Mabel, Pyrenees/Burnese Winnie, and a tabby cat named Ralph. Come talk to us at the CAC about how we can be of more service to Estes Park! Morgan brings a diverse background with her most recent job having been a state parks museum curator. She's also been an arts educator, events coordinator, festival staff, and radio DJ among other things. "Thank you to Barb Boyer Buck as well as the board at the CAC for allowing me to be involved with a mission I truly believe in!" said Morgan.

To help offset travel costs, the CAC committee has asked Estes Park residents and friends of the CAC to host a visiting artist during this two-week period. Some artists only need a few days, but most are intending to stay the entire two weeks. The CAC suggests each hosted artist provide their hosts with a completed painting in exchange for accommodations (however, this is not required). Host families are expected to provide the visiting artist (and perhaps his/her spouse) a place to sleep, and a place to put out to dry the paintings created each day. Hosts are not expected to provide meals, unless they wish to do so. If you are interested in helping with any of these events, please email cacofep@gmail.com

He is a former member of the Barleen’s Arizona and Rocky Mountain Oprys, The Elktones, Fitch and Chips, and may be best known for the campfire music programs he has presented in downtown Estes Park for the past 20 summers. With his TropiCowboy Band, Fitch honors the musical legacy of John Denver, performing tribute concerts throughout the U.S. He is a lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist with the Rock n Roll Cowboys. Mark Rashid When he’s not presenting his horse training clinics or writing books (he’s published more than a dozen), internationally-known horseman Mark Rashid enjoys writing and performing music. A resident of Estes Park, Rashid has performed professionally throughout the Western U.S. His former band, The Elktones, were a staple of the local Estes Park music scene for more than a decade. As he travels the world with his horse-training events, Rashid often carries along his guitar, treating participants to intimate evening concerts. Rashid can be seen playing his guitar in the movie,
“Into the Wild,” for which he wrote the screenplay. He is the lead guitarist and vocalist with the Rock n Roll Cowboys. Kevin Dennis Originally from La Mesa, Calif., Kevin Dennis has been a big part of the Estes Park music scene for more than a decade. He has performed with a variety of bands in his native California as well as with local favorites the Dennis-Tobias Band and the Mountain Town Rockers. He studied music recording and production at Southwestern College, Chula Vista, and at San Diego City College, and operates his Artist Mind recording studio in Estes Park. Dennis has been a musician since he was 13 years old, playing bass, guitar and mandolin. He is also a song writer, graphic artist and web designer. He plays bass and sings harmonies with the Rock n Roll Cowboys. Jeff Kennison A third-generation Colorado native, Jeff Kennison, of Arvada, started playing drums at the age of 11. Since then he has performed with Bo Diddly, The Chiffons, the Del Vikings and a myriad of other groups. He currently plays in several bands in the Denver area and does recording studio session work along the Front Range of Colorado. Kennison owns and operates Pro Drum Studio, a full-service drum school for students of all ages and abilities. One of the “go-to” drummers of the Denver music scene, he has also performed with the Brad Fitch and the TropiCowboy Band since 2012. He is the entertaining and expert drummer with the Rock n Roll Cowboys. Chris Kennison Colorado native Chris Kennison has 25 years in the audio recording and engineering business, along with 40 years professional music performance experience. Chris specializes in pedal steel, non-pedal steel, dobro, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar. Chris has played with numerous styles of bands including Hawaiian, Country, dance and show acts and currently performs with the Rhythm Cats Show Band during the winter months.

For those that are unaware:, all three of our local thrift shops qualify as non profit organizations. Profits are contributed to other local non-profits. For 45 years, the Elizabeth Guild profit has supported the Estes Park Medical Center, our local hospital. The 2015 donations encompassed an amazing $105,000. Just recently opened, the Village Thrift Shop is too new to provide such numbers but will be disbursing all profits through annual grants to other Estes Valley 501c3 non profit organizations. They also participate in voucher programs through Crossroads and Life Choices. The current program at the Community Thrift Shop donates the proceeds of periodic Saturday bag sales to pre-designated beneficiaries. So far, in the six months of 2016, they have contributed $8,000 to charity, a considerable increase over 2015. All three shops avoid the landfill, taking cardboard to recyclers who will be sure they return to a useful state and bubblewrap to local shippers. The shops welcome patrons who bring their own plastic or reusable bags to carry merchandise, or even to donate for use by others. Any overage, of course, can go to Safeway. The Community Thrift Shop encourages people to return their bag sale bags for reuse, or even to skip the bag entirely. The Elizabeth Guild makes notepads for their own desk, from paper already used one side. The Village Thrift Shop donates unusable blankets to the Animal Medical Center. These are small examples of a reusable culture and we
would all do well to follow their example – as individuals. These charitable businesses encompass three types of personnel: the board who sets policy; the paid owner or manager who makes everything run smoothly; and the volunteer who receives no financial remuneration but without whom most non-profits cannot exist. In the case of our local thrift shops almost everyone but the manager is a volunteer. They take in the donations, staff the floor, run the cash register, and pass-on whatever does not sell to someone who can use it. I have heard it said that volunteers are the backbone of society. They certainly are in Estes Park where most individuals volunteer for at least two or three separate organizations. Including members of the decision making board, it takes many volunteer individuals to operate efficiently – every week. The lack thereof can minimize open hours, curtail recycling efforts, and even set limitations on how much can be accepted. So, all three local thrift shops are constantly recruiting additional assistance. Even though the workers are not paid, there are other “perks” to volunteering in this capacity: a first look at donated treasures, discounted merchandise, break room supplies, scheduling that accommodates shared shifts, and a general “family” atmosphere for staff members were among those mentioned. If you are looking for productive way to invest your spare time, give them a call, tour the one that strikes your fancy and sign up.
Still Time To Donate To Life Choices There is still time to donate to Life Choices Pregnancy Center for their annual baby bottle campaign. You can bring your baby bottles or checks to Life Choices at 1182 Graves Avenue, Suite A or you can make a virtual donation by visiting www.lifematters.org, clicking

Ballet Renaissance Partners With Boys And Girls Clubs Of Larimer County Honoring Ayana
In a first wave of projects inspired by, and dedicated to, Estes Park resident, Ayana Fernandez Portillo, (the nine year old girl who lost her life in a tragic accident here in our town, March 11, 2016), local nonprofit organization, Ballet Renaissance, is teaming with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Larimer County to provide classical ballet training and performance opportunities to children here in Estes this summer. The alliance provides bi-weekly ballet classes at no charge to participants, and includes the opportunity for students to perform with Ballet Renaissance on Wednesday August 10, at 5 pm on stage at Performance Park. A whopping 10 of this summer’s 30 participants are boys. They will be taught by Estes Park resident and Ballet Renaissance Co-Director Mr. Radoslaw Kokoszka, a graduate of the School of American Ballet, NYC. Born in Wodzislaw Slaski, Poland, Kokoszka moved to the US with his parents and siblings in 1997, and trained on full talent scholarship at some of this county’s most prestigious professional ballet schools. Committed to breaking stereotypes and providing strong role models for young men, Kokoszka possesses a unique skill set for teaching the technical nuisances specific to male dancers. He will teach these young men some of the athletic and artistic jumps and turns male
dancers accomplish, as well as basic partnering skills (supporting the ballerina in turns, lifts, etc.). Ballet Renaissance Co-Director Ms. Brianna Furnish will join Kokozka this summer, focusing on instructing young ladies in the program. Ballet Renaissance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to educating inspiring youth and the community through the art of classical ballet. The original branch of Ballet Renaissance was founded by Furnish in southeast Michigan in June of 1997. Furnish and Kokoszka established a second branch of Ballet Renaissance, here in Estes, in fall of 2011. Since that time, Ballet Renaissance has contracted to provide year-round ballet training and performance opportunities at Estes Park’s Center Stage School of Dance. Since 1986, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Larimer County (BGCLC) has been at the forefront of youth development, working with young people from disadvantaged economic, social, and family
circumstances in Loveland and Fort Collins, since 1994 in Wellington, and since 2014 in Estes Park through a summer program. BGCLC currently serves over 3,500 youth in Larimer County each year. For more information about the Boys & Girls Clubs of Larimer County and our programs, please call 970-223-1709 or visit www.BeGreatLarimer.org.

Summer Financial Classes By: Marsha Yelick
Common Cents Counts, the Estes Valley Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial education program, announces another series of basic financial classes to be held this summer. In partnership with the YMCA of the Rockies, the programs will take place in the informal environment of the Yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Maude Jellison Library, an ideal gathering place for summer residents, full-time residents and guests, with plenty of parking and lots of comfortable chairs. Beginning Wednesday July 6th at 6:30 p.m., the first of five classes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goal Setting and Financial Planning,â&#x20AC;? will take place. The YMCA has reserved its library for classes each Wednesday night for five weeks, inviting all interested staff, guests, and Estes Park residents to attend. Classes held in this charming setting will not be intimidating! The YMCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Library is a comfortable, stress-free environment. Anyone (and any age) who is interested in learning money management skills is welcome. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to register, although the series is posted on the Estes Valley Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event calendar with additional information about the content of each class. Why would anyone want to spend leisurely summer hours learning how to manage money? Research has shown more than half of Americans do not have financial capability. They do not save for retirement; they hold revolving credit card debt paying high interest; they do not understand investing; and they do not pay their bills on time. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;how-toâ&#x20AC;? of these issues is not difficult. These classes will provide useful con-
cepts and information designed to reduce stress and improve financial health. All seminars will be approximately one hour in length on Wednesdays beginning in July. The first seminar (July 6th) covers basic money management skills: budgeting, tracking spending, and goal setting. Seminar two (July 13th) explains key investment concepts necessary for long term investing. Seminar three (July 20th) discusses tax advantage investing specifically for retirement planning. The fourth seminar (July 27th) covers core investment choices. The fifth seminar (August 6th) reviews simple strategies for managing money during the relaxing years of retirement. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to find the Maude Jellison Library at the YMCA. Go to the YMCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main entrance off Highway 66 (Tunnel Road). Stay to the right going up the hill on Association Drive until you reach the first left turn (Longhouse Way). Turn left and wind up the hill until you see Longhouse on your right. Turn right into the first entrance to the parking lot for Longhouse and bear to the right of Longhouse on the dirt road. The first building on your right is the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Building; the second building (set back) is the Maude Jellison Library. A map of the YMCA grounds is available on their website at www.ymcarockies.org The financial series of Common Cents Counts is easy and provides all the information necessary for a lifetime of astute money management. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free, no registration is necessary, parking is available, and the information is tested and proven to be beneficial. A few hours spent in class this summer will prove a great investment!
Wild Mama Author Carrie Visintainer Featured At The Estes Valley Library In July We continue celebrating the library centennial with an abundance of amazing author visits and July is no exception. The Estes Valley Library will be welcoming the author of Wild Mama â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carrie Visintainer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just once, but twice! On Thursday, July 7, from 3 to 4 p.m. in the Hondius Room, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the opportunity to meet Carrie through Skype on the big screen.

Register for the event and pick up your copy of Wild Mama today, while supplies last. After we meet Carrie through Skype, Carrie will be joining us in person and be our featured presenter for the Monday, July 25 Wild Mama edition of Our Wonderful World at the Park Village
Playhouse. Learn first hand about Carrieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s travel adventures! When traveler and writer Carrie Visintainer became a mother at the age of thirty-two, she worried it was all over, that her adventurous life was done. Immersed in a whirlwind of sleeplessness and spit-up, she was madly in love with her new baby, yet also felt her adventurous spirit and core identity crumbling. So, she laced up her boots and set out on a soul-searching journey, with revelations near and far. Carrie realized that motherhood was like traveling to a foreign country. Carrie found herself face to face with her central quandary: Domesticity vs. Wanderlust. She discovered that she could â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and should â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have both. Please join the Estes Valley Library for these two special author events in July.

Get in the Game: Read was the message shared at a recent event of the Estes Valley Library Teen Zone! On Wednesday, June 1, tweens and teens, along with members of the Estes Park community, helped the Estes Valley Library to kick off the Teen Zone Summer Reading Program. With a summer reading theme of wellness and being active outdoors, a kickball game was a great way to kick off a summer of reading fun and active programs. Two teams comprised of youth and adults competed in the inaugural kickball kickoff. The Legends saw victory and were awarded the trophy for 2016, though The White Dogs met the challenge with style and spirit. Participants enjoyed learning about the programs for summer and decorated water bottles to use to stay hydrated throughout the season. Everyone enjoyed cheering for one another and running the bases in costumes! After the game of good-natured fun, participants shared a meal. The Estes Valley Library Teen Zone would like to thank community members Curt Plassmeyer (Estes Park Police
Dept./School Safety Officer), Glenn Case (Estes Park High School teacher), Wendy Corcoran, Apelles Morales, Kathleen Kase, Melanie Kozlowski and Claudine Perrault (all of Estes Valley Library) and good-natured parents for being energetic participants in the Teen Zone Summer Reading Kickball Kickoff!

Square Dancing Returns To Allenspark At The Old Gallery Once upon a time, square dancing was a nightly affair in Allenspark. “Any night of the week, you could find a square dance caller at one of the area lodges,” said longtime Allenspark resident Danny St. John. “Square dancing took place at the Meeker Park Lodge, Wild Basin Lodge, Wind River Ranch, Peaceful Valley Ranch and a place called the Pow Wow, near Highlands Camp and Retreat Center.” While there weren’t many fulltime residents at that time, the dances would be filled with tourists and those who owned summer cabins in the area. “After a while, it got harder and harder to find a square dance caller,” St. John said. “We tried using records of square dance calling, and it just wasn’t the same. He remembered, ”At some point, more people started moving here, demographics changed and square dancing sort of went away.” Until now. The Old Gallery has announced it is hosting three nights of square dancing this summer: July 3, August 14 and September 4. “On Sunday, July 3, we’re offering a free square dance from 7-9 p.m. at The Old Gallery,” said Elisabeth Sherwin, chair of The Old Gallery’s Advisory Board. “We’re hoping to attract people who want to learn how to square dance, as well as those who know what they’re doing. You don’t have to come with a partner, either. All are welcome!”
Chris Kermiet will serve as 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. When asked if he’d be in attendance, St. John laughed and said, “I don’t know if I still have all the moves. We’ll see! But it’s great that The Old Gallery is bringing square dancing back to the area.” The Old Gallery is a center for community and the arts in Allenspark, just 20 minutes from Estes Park and 35 minutes from Lyons. More than 25 local artists and photographers display and sell their work there. A wide variety of classes are offered at The Old Gallery, including yoga, tai chi, gourd art, memoirwriting and more. It also provides a wide range of community services, including Community Cupboard Food distribution, a Community Closet, Monthly Soup Night and Potluck, discussion groups and a book club. For a complete list of activities, live music, classes and services, visit www.theoldgallery.org. The Old Gallery is located at 14863 Colorado Highway 7, next to the Allenspark Fire Station. In 2015, The Old Gallery completed a renovation project, which is being funded by a $1.2 million Capital Campaign. Additional donations are needed and can be made at www.theoldgallery.org.

EPNRC June Lunch & Learn Roundtable Discussion Focuses On How To Make Board Meetings Effective And Not Boring The Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center will be exploring how to best make Board Meetings effective and productive, and NOT boring at the July Lunch & Learn Roundtable Discussion on Thursday, July 14 from Noon – 1:30 p.m. in the Hondius Room of the Estes Valley Library. Despite their importance, many people view board of director meetings as drab, high level mumbo jumbo. However, with some planning and foresight, you can make these meetings more lively and engaging. Board Presidents and Executive Directors will benefit from this lunch & learn as we explore best practices for running an effective board meeting. Think about and come prepared to discuss: • do’s/don'ts of running a great board meeting • board chair/president’s role • executive Director’s role • agenda setting • information sharing/committee reporting • action items
• engagement during the meeting • getting board members to show up • decisions, not updates • frequency, duration, location Grab your lunch and join us as we explore this interesting topic. We will discuss what works (and doesn’t work) for you. Bring your best practices, challenges, solutions – the goal is to learn from each other. There is no formal speaker, simply a lively discussion between individuals interested in the topic. The Estes Valley Library parking lot is usually full by noon in the summer and especially busy on Thursdays during the Farmer’s Market. We encourage you to park at the visitor center, walk or bike to the summer Lunch & Learn Roundtable Discussions. Lunch & Lean Roundtable Discussions are free of charge to EPNRC member organizations (staff and current board) and $10 for nonmembers. If you have ideas for future roundtable discussions, please contact EPNRC executive director, Jill Lancaster at director@epnonprofit.org.

Westside Wonders
By: Jo Wurst, Field Institute Assistant
For many, Rocky Mountain National Park is synonymous with Estes Park: bountiful elk, breath-taking views, and bustling community. This link, however, underplays the mystery and majesty of Rocky beyond the continental divide. On the west side, the dry soil becomes heavy with moisture. Open ponderosa pine forests fade away. Suddenly, the focus is no longer on elk, but moose! Was that an otter in the river? What type of fungus is that?!? On July 9th, come explore the west side of Rocky with the Rocky Mountain Conservancy Field Institute. The program, West Side Wonders: Green Mountain Trail through the Eyes of an Ecologist, will introduce the diverse ecological aspects and history of the landscape on this tranquil trail. Join us as we hike
through lodgepole pine forests, mountain meadows, and ancient wetlands as you begin to see the wondrous west side through an ecologist’s eyes. This program is instructed by Dr. John C. Emerick. Dr. Emerick is the author of Rocky Mountain National Park Natural History Handbook and coauthor of From Grassland to Glacier. He was an ecologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration from 19741979 and later was a faculty member for the Department of Environmental Sciences at the Colorado School of Mines. He resides in Redstone Colorado, where he is a consulting ecologist. For more information or to register, please call the Rocky Mountain Conservancy Field Institute at (970)586-3262 or visit us online at www.rmconservancy.org.
